User talk:Morton Devonshire

Thanks for refactoring my comment; please remember to note that you have done so next time, so it doesn't just look as if I ran out of steam half way through a. Thanks. --Guinnog 04:28, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Lin Zexu

I saw that you inserted a passage in the article on Lin Zexu, claiming that his letter to Quen Victoria found its way to some London newspapers. Do you have a source on that?--Niohe 03:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes. It was pretty common knowledge. I will add the source though.--Tbeatty 03:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Category:Session wrestlers

Your recent edit to Category:Session wrestlers (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

Category had one erroneous entry and the bot treated it as "blanking" when it was removed. --Tbeatty 16:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Bogus 3RR report

Combining two edits twelve hours apart and trying to pass that off as one revert? [refactored personal attack] Gamaliel 03:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for the mistake of the 4th edit. It was 5 reverts in a little less than 2 days. Wikilawyer it down all you like. Deleting warnings from your talk page is also a violation. --Tbeatty 03:22, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your apology, but you really need to let it go. There is no "violation" in deleting bogus warnings posted in a lame attempt to claim the moral high ground, if there is such a thing in such a sad edit war. It's also sad to lecture me about edit warring when you've been reverting just as much as I have. What's the point of that? I think you need to step back a bit. Are you really so blinded by partisanship or dislike of me to imagine that I'm trying to smear poor Jeff Gannon with a parent category? Seriously, think about this. Do you really believe I think that I'm going to convince someone that Gannon was a prostitute with clever category placement? Or are you just looking for some reason to attack me? The last bit isn't a dig at you, I'm just trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Gamaliel 03:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Switch it around. Do you really think I give a shit about Jeff Gannon? Do you really think it's worth it to risk the foundation with potential libel and defamation suits so you can inlude an insignificant person in a silly category? Do you really believe it when you say the integrity of Wikipedia's category system hinges on whether or not Jeff Gannon can be called a sex worker? Why not let it go? I have concerns with your editing pattern (and you have said as much about mine). My only goal is to create a better encyclopedia and part of that means opposing NPOV and BLP violations. I will continue to challenge your attempts to add negative material about certain individuals covered as WP biographies as well as your attempts to add politically critical material to organizations and/or candidates in a way that violates NPOV. I applaud your work on non-political topics and your overall contribution to Wikipedia but you should let go of the parthisanship and dislike of me. The percentage of my edits that you have a problem with is a lot higher than the percentage of your edits that I find objectionable so it seems rather far-fetched for you to think I am attacking you. --Tbeatty 04:20, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Andy Stephenson

Someone removed your prod from the Andy Stephenson article. You'll have to do an AfD. Crockspot 04:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm leaving him a warning, but what is DU and SPA? Thanks. —Xyrael / 16:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

DU is short for www.democraticunderground.com , and SPA means Single Purpose Account. Crockspot 16:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Daniel Brandt

Probably a good move refactoring the comments on Talk:Daniel Brandt. I shouldn't have said that, but I got the impression an anon had been vandalizing articles I'd written because I've edited the Brandt page. I usually don't let vandals bother me, and anyway there's no reason to give them a reason to do it, so thanks.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

No worries. Thanks for not taking it personally :). --Tbeatty 20:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Your repeated deletions in the Andy Stephenson article

Rather than participating in editing the section, you just deleted a section which other editors had worked to make NPOV, such as the sentence I just added, before you did wholesale deletion of material which was documented, saying:" "It's simply unsourced. Scurrilous too." Please avoid hurling accusations like "scurrilous," which is defined as: "given to the use of vulgar or low abusive language; foul mouthed" directed at other editors' work. There was no such language in the section you deleted. Assume good faith. Collaborate rather than engaging in revert war tactics and deleting. Saying "BLP" is not a magic wand which allows you to delete sourced statements you disagree with. Which living person do you feel was hurt by the section you removed? Thanks.Edison 22:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

It wasn't directed at other editors. Scurrilous was used to describe the accusation of those that blamed Stephenson critics for hastening his death. Please AGF. Since the statements weren't sourced, it is ncumbent to delete them. Simply repeating libelous statements because someone else said them is not acceptable. The living people are hte owners and contributors of the website critical of Stephenson. --Tbeatty 23:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Iraqi aluminum tubes order

New name for the article. Hopefully descriptive enough to be meaningful. Already did the fixes to avoid redirects. Might be a little bold, but nobody had moved on the rename for several months.--Rosicrucian 00:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good. More descriptive. --Tbeatty 01:06, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

You should be made aware of this

I'm a friendly guy. Will you invite me along to your AFD's? I loved the yellowcake one Aaron. Derex 06:13, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Had to file this. You may have a dog in this one.--Scribner 06:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Had to? Whatever. Because I'm not a dick, I won't report you for your actually serious attacks about actual editing integrity. I think that T is not actually a dick though, he seems to have a sense of humor. I was just having fun with him. You might be though. I like dogs by the way; got two. Derex 06:22, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I have reconsidered

And come to the same conclusion as before. If you feel strongly about the notes on my talk page, you're welcome to pursue other avenues - but I don't see any reason to delete them. Have a good day. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 11:37, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Another FoxNews RfC

Apparantly another edit has started an RfC on a topic that most thought was ostensibly over. If you feel this is a separate RfC that need's additional comment feel free. I'm trying to see WP:AGF but it is difficult to not look at this as sour grapes. Ramsquire 21:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank You

For offering your opinion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lori Klausutis (third nomination). The article was deleted. "The quality of mercy is not strain'd . . . It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice." ~ Wm. Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act IV Scene 1. Morton devonshire 22:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Agreement re: MONGO

Perhaps the fact that we both agree with MONGO's recent decision indicates that we might overcome whatever other differences we have between us, and agree to disagree civilly. I, for one, am hopeful that we can come to a place of mutual respect. In any case, and whatever your opinion, I wish you well. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 14:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I hope so. --Tbeatty 14:57, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I post this here since I know others have this page watchlisted....I have been meaning for several days now to approach one or more of you to try and work out your differences. I know that Tbeatty, Ryan, Derex, Morton devonshire and others here all do an excellent job of helping with articles related to politics and the events of 9/11/2001. I also know that there are strong opinions on these matters that, when argued by those that have great capacity to demostrate their points and to back it up with policy and evidence, that these issues can become very heated. When I started Wiki, Ryan and I were at odds with each other on the George W Bush article, when I spent something like 1,000 edits on the article and discussion page arguing with JamesMLane and others over whether or not evidence that he is or is not a unreformed drunk should be in the article...I know Ryan wanted to smack me, and JamesMLane probably wanted me to simply go away...in the end, we all ended up settling for about half what we wanted. The lesson from that is the key to the whole collaborative editing process because in reality, most great "truths" lie somewhere in the middle of where our own biases lay. The other thing that happened is that I came to greatly respect Ryan and others who I had originally argued against (such as Tony Sidaway). I don't know if this speech makes a difference, but I hope so. Thanks to all for the support.--MONGO 15:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Good call on the BLP issue, considering the source. When I removed tthe {{hangon}} template a while back, it was mostly a procedural removal, since the image wasn't marked for speedy deletion yet. — TKD::Talk 20:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

And apparently it's on Commons. *sigh* — TKD::Talk 20:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

calling editors a 'Hit Squad' is a personal attack..--Tbeatty 06:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

WHAT???? If you think THAT'S an attack, You need more (or less) Byron!

1. The Byron Insert . "The Byron Insert is a sexual technique in which two male homosexual partners are involved. One man lies on his stomach with his legs spread, while the other man lies belly-down on top of the first man with his head near the first man's buttocks and his genitals resting on either the left or right shoulder of the first man. This second man then takes a godemiche, more commonly known as a dildo, and inserts it into the first man's anus. As this is going on, the first man turns his head to the side and licks the second man's testicles.The Byron Insert's name comes from the famous British poet, Lord Byron. While famous for his poetry, he was also famous for his allegations of sodomy. While the origin of this sexual technique is not fully known, it has been demonstrated in a few newer pornographies. It is also known as the B.A.V., which stands for Backwards Anal Victim." NBGPWS 06:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
