Revision as of 08:01, 14 November 2008

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

⇒ Start a new Talk topic.

Misunderstanding

There is a misunderstanding on why I blanked out pages. The blank out on Joseph Shelton was because those claims were unfounded - I know, I wrote them. I deleted them before the article could be deleted for misinformation. As for Adamc714, that is my old account.STLisbetterthanChicago (talk) 08:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I'll take you at your word, and remove the warning I gave you then. I recommend not blanking the page, but redirecting it to your new account, and providing an edit summary rather than leaving the edit summary blank. Killiondude (talk) 08:55, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!STLisbetterthanChicago (talk) 09:01, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

STLisbetterthanChicago, you used your User:Adamc714 account tonight at AFC to recreate the Joseph Shelton article after it was deleted. That is considered Sock puppetry, you know. JGHowes ^talk 09:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Immense number of changes

It would be inane and unrealistic for anyone not to appreciate the efforts you are clearly making to improve Wikipedia. However, the frequency of your edits indicates, to me at least, and only in theory, possibly insufficient consideration for the articles you change. Please, when updating articles, or reverting changes, please do so in a NPOV way and justifying your changes. Thanks for your contributions. 81.98.250.180 (talk) 00:49, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff

Thanks for your changes on my contrib on the Hillsong United (Band) page. You're right that in that case the YouTube song links were redundant. In some cases, though, the musician's "channel" may not contain the songs since the musician may not actually hold the rights to those songs. :-( In which case I try to find if the copyright holder has uploaded songs to YT separately. I'd love to see alot of the older song videos by artists from the 80s and 90s uploaded by their copyright owners. Sad that none of the Gaither or Marantha or Integrity songs have been legally uploaded. Thanks for all your efforts here! RichLindvall (talk) 18:04, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Nugget market logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nugget market logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 06:30, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hi, I've granted your request for rollback. Before you use it, however, I'd ask that you be sure you've read the policy on rollback and that you understand that it is for obvious vandalism only. Misuse of the tool may lead to revocation of privileges without warning.
Since you are going to be using huggle, it's especially important that you be careful as it is very, very easy to make mistakes when working at high speed, but don't panic if you make a small mistake every now and then- we all do. If you have any questions about rollback or use of huggle, feel free to reply to this message here or on my talk page.
Kind regards, ~ L'Aquatique[talk] 06:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I guess anons from the 75. and 76. range just don't like Unca Arcayne. Thanks for the fix. Maybe they will calm down during the block. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 05:04, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Yeah, that was weird. They had some sort of vendetta against you. Killiondude (talk) 05:05, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Noemi

Frankly, it is not a big deal to me, but can you explain why a simple redirect page offends you so much? The Wikipedia has thousands of redirect pages with alternate or variant forms of names and words, including many that are non-existent or erroneous. This one is neither non-existent nor erroneous. It is a bona fide variant form of the name Naomi (and apparently also of Naamah). Pasquale (talk) 21:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 21:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

This is probably late, but thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page recently, I really appreciate it. --Tyler | Talk - Contributions | 15:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, no problem. Killiondude (talk) 18:00, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

24.78.233.129's edits in Modchip

Thanks for reverting 24.78.233.129's edits in Modchip. I am actually glad I'm not the only one to notice it, and you were very forgiving with only a level-two warning on his talk page he very obviously doesn't read. Today was actually the fourth time he added his links to the page. And with today's seven edits (to add it to any paragraph he can find an edit button for) I am inclined to call it vandalism by now. The next time he pulls such a stunt, I will call for someone to swing the ban hammer. Freddy^Talk 02:36, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, s/he was being very obstinate about making sure his/her link was all over the page. They were being very annoying. I would've kept on them about spamming that page but shortly after I reverted the edits for the second time, I had to get off wiki. But no problem for helping fight vandalism. Killiondude (talk) 06:06, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

just messing around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.241.205 (talk) 07:56, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The testicle thing

You can indeed tag something for speedy deletion if it's already at Articles/images/miscellany/whatever for deletion if the speedy criterion is valid. I thought that was truly a vandalism redirect, so I tagged it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 00:55, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay. I think its just vandalism too. I placed a PROD flag on it, and somebody removed it and said to put it up for RFD. So I did so. Thanks for clearing that up though. -Killiondude (talk) 01:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

f you believe an article is "a total lie", find some sources to back you up! And don't just erase content, fix it

WHY WOULD I NEED TO DISPROVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WHEN THE ENTIRE PAGE IS A PIECE OF ARMENIAN PROPAGANDA WITHOUT A SINGLE SHRED OF OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.86.183 (talk) 08:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It gives a source for some of the info. If you believe it was poorly written, and/or biased you should have found (perhaps better) sources and re-written the page. You have now been blocked by an admin for "disruptive editing". Next time, you shouldn't just keep deleting sections of pages but instead be bold and change what you think is wrong with them. - Killiondude (talk) 08:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Davis, CA edits

Eh, can't you guys just be chill for once and let something go? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Topothemarnintoye (talk • contribs) 06:03, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(dryly): Let what go where?

I'm gonna assume you're a high school student in Davis, from what I found on Google about that name you wanted posted. Assuming that, you should be pretty smart because they have a good school system, and because you figured out how to do several things on wikipedia. You're smart enough to know that it wouldn't be good practice to let some things "slide". I'm not trying to be rude or obnoxious about it. This is actually supposed to be an encyclopedia. That name wouldn't be in Encarta, for example. Killiondude (talk) 06:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

well, think of it as getting a head start, because in a few years, that name will be significant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Topothemarnintoye (talk • contribs) 06:21, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet. I'm from Woodland just to let you know. That's why I keep an eye out for the Davis page. Killiondude (talk) 06:38, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thats chill i guess. too bad we always own you at soccer. if i edited that into the davis page, that we own woodland, would it get dragged away? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Topothemarnintoye (talk • contribs) 06:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

my bad Topothemarnintoye (talk) 06:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it'd get deleted. The only scenario it'd be maybe okay in is if it'd be put in a section in either Davis High or Woodland High's (Woodland High doesn't have a page by the way) page, about a "Rivalry". Even then it's iffy. But hey, I'm gonna post a "welcome" template on your talk page, it'll help you get started with anything to do with wikipedia. You can always ask me too if you'd like. I don't know the answer to every question though, because I've only been on here since like June or something. Killiondude (talk) 06:49, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, somebody welcomed you before me. Check out what all the link are for (you can skim thru a lot of those pages to get the gist). Killiondude (talk) 06:54, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

aight, also, how much can you get away with before you get banned? and if you do get banned, can you still use wikipedia and just not edit it?Topothemarnintoye (talk) 01:34, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a difference between a ban and a block. You'll be blocked if you just vandalize things repeatedly. You might get 5-7 chances of vandalism before you get blocked. But don't vandalize! "Use your powers for good, not evil." If you're blocked (or even banned) you can still read wikipedia, you just can't edit it. -Killiondude (talk) 06:18, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2008 Belgian Grand Prix

Did you see how unfair that decision made by Surinder Thatthi was or are you also a loyal Ferrari supporter? Well eventually Lewis Hamilton overcame the Ferrari bias to win the championship.41.16.44.30 (talk) 08:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Recent Edit, i.e., Boner

Killiondude,

You and I are obviously both dudes. So, what's up? You've never had a ferocious boner after eating mad goji berries?

Sincerely yours,

Boner —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.175.54 (talk) 07:21, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just think the term "boner" doesn't need to be in the article. Its sort of lewd to say in an encyclopedia in my opinion, and it sort of constitutes as vandalism. - Killiondude (talk) 07:27, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

William Wang edit undo

But his wang really did grow two inches after establishing vizio..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.76.179.12 (talk) 07:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I very much doubt that. It was just vandalism. "Use your powers for good, not evil" is what I will say to you. - Killiondude (talk) 07:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I have documented information that it did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.76.179.12 (talk) 07:29, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(dryly): I don't need to know anything of your personal experience, thank you very much. - Killiondude (talk) 07:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just so happen to have William Wangs personal journal with a "chart" in it. If I scan if in and cite it, can I post it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.76.179.12 (talk) 07:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He's not a porno actor, so no (and that wouldn't be a verifiable reference). I'm done with this conversation. If you'd like to constructively edit, that'd be great. - Killiondude (talk) 07:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought wikipedia was a democratic wiki? You're telling me that I can't publish this chart? Please refer me to someone higher up than you. I might sue.
