Trigonometry

I notice that your recent edit to Trigonometry removed a lot of information from the History section, and also removed the rather nice Table of Trigonometry image. I was wondering why you removed so much information ? In my experience, large scale mods like this are usually discussed on the article's talk page first. Also, marking such a large scale change as "minor" with the comment rm linkspam is rather misleading, don't you agree ? Gandalf61 09:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the longer I look at this, the more I think that the edit you made was maybe not the edit you intended to make - did you somehow overwrite the page with an old version by mistake ? Gandalf61 10:44, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Elephants

My comments on elephants are, indeed, factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nationalsocietyoffact (talk • contribs)

AN/I

Ok, I'll do it. The attacks are actually sometimes funny, but as it keeps going and going, it's becoming more annoying. I'm getting to the point where I'm afraid I might say somehting I shouldn't if it keeps up . . . · j·e·r·s·y·k·o talk · 01:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, my posting at WP:AN/I started out as a two paragraph description with diffs, but has grown since because of the subsequent edits by the anons and my desire to get someone to notice my posting (I know, it's probably just discouraging admins from reading it the longer it gets, but it wasn't being dealt with in its short form, either). This is the third time I've been completely ignored in a request at AN/I, so I can't say that I'm entirely surprised. Do you have any ideas? I suppose we could start a user conduct Rfc might, though I wish we didn't have to do that considering that the personal attacks, incivility, and ignoring of consensus here are such obvious violations of policy. · j·e·r·s·y·k·o talk · 19:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Hoorah for cooldowns! I imagine we'll hear it now on talk (hmm, as if we weren't already). · j·e·r·s·y·k·o talk · 19:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, did Scribner e-mail you? · j·e·r·s·y·k·o talk · 00:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Just sent you one. · j·e·r·s·y·k·o talk · 00:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey Vary, FYI, Gail Carson, the Mayor's assistant, is going to take a look at the talk page. I mentioned the letterhead idea, or a mention on he city website...we'll see.--Scribner 15:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I normally wouldn't care about this sort of thing, but now s/he's threatening to contact the Bar Association about me. That's not cool at all, especially given how active Saks has been in the past regarding calling people in government. I'm taking my leave completely from the discussion at Memphis, I've asked for a permanent block on Reneec at PAIN. Sorry, I can't let this jeopardize my career. · j e r s y k o talk · 15:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I posted a quick, frightened request at WP:PAIN. It's just such a crazy thing to see that I'm all flustered. If you think it should go to AN/I, feel free to move it there. · j e r s y k o talk · 15:37, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

That might be wise for now. Thank you. I'm sure i'll be more comfortable re-adding it later. · j e r s y k o talk · 15:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Vary. Forgive my paranoia, but even crazy allegations relating to a person's character can be enough to trigger an in-depth hearing when you're wanting to become a member of the bar. · j e r s y k o talk · 15:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Thought you might be interested in this: Official songs of memphis. · j e r s y k o talk · 13:51, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the correction Vary, on Official Songs of memphis page. Typing is not my strength.Boodro 19:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Regarding jersyko's comments and the implied threats by Reneec, I checked out the comments and did not see any personal threats. I did see that Rennec stated that he/she should check jersyko's verififcation of being a lawyer with the Bar. How is this any different than verifying that Mr. Saks has written songs that are Official aongs of memphis? It is pathetic that the discussion regarding verification of offical songs of memphis reached such a low level. It is sad that Mr. jerzyko has become paranoid (as stated above) by perceived allegations and threats by reneec but I did not see any threat. For jerzyko not to contribute to this article and for reneec to be blocked

due to perceived allegations against jezyko is even sadder. Where is the arbitration?--Boodro 01:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Your comments regarding jersyko and reneec on my talk page were most appreciated. It appears that a User page is also a part of Wikipedia and can be edited. For this reason, it is my opinion that any statements made on these pages are open for discussion and verification as well.--Boodro 03:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Vary, your points are well taken regarding personal attacks regarding User pages.--Boodro 03:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Nice strategy: blame the victim and gang up on him. I'll have you know that being cornered isn't fun. Cut it out. Hasbro 03:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

It has only appeared that those opponents of mine have their minds clouded by either stereotype or a possible agenda. I will not cater to the demands of ignorant editors and do as they ask, if they choose to ignore the issues before them and are readily accessible. It is a waste of my time to teach other editors what American curriculums should be having for elementary-level students and fails to. It is sad that these issues are not tackled by the educational systems and that one might have to resort to "original research" in order to find things that the common schmuck has no idea about because his life is filled with television and pop culture. I am an academic and will not suffer those who refuse to see for themselves the issues before them and opt a crabwalk strategy to handle content disputes. I do not edit Wikipedia with encyclopedias on my lap. These things have become common knowledge to me as an accumulation of knowledge by surfing around and thumbing through books. That is the usual form of assimilating facts and transmitting them elsewhere. If you don't want to understand where I am coming from in this issue, then chances are nothing will sate your feigned interest as displayed to me. Your collective ganging up on me is to reinforce communal ignorance in favour of deeming me the oddball outsider. Perhaps I will stay the elephant in the room, just because I refuse to do it your way. Hell, I know you can't object to better language in the text and that's all I would essentially push for. How come you let specific language be barred, when readers would get the general point? You've argued against common known facts about the Calverts, Ireland and Maryland with no citations to support said arguments. All I did was retransmit to you what is found on cited websites already on the Wiki. You lot are sticks in the mud either because of boredom or territorial testosterone. Either way, I tire from psychoanalysing your motives behind even denying common facts about the subject, In any case, the issue is that you lack Transcendentalist training. My only error was perhaps not seeing how my interpretation of the data would affect those with no similar fundamental transcendentalist understanding behind the matter of the Irish Catholic qualities discussed.
