sorry - I had to put another revert after yours - in all the vandalizm a part of a sentence got lost on the way. Agathoclea 20:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

It's cool. LaMenta3 20:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

don't revert what i wrote! it was fine. --66.218.22.254 23:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

What are you talking about? LaMenta3 23:25, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

hey, i am proud to serve the online community by bringing down the conformo-bossy dogma that is trying to take over Wikipedia.. You can't tell me that your ideas are more appropriate than mine - if I want Tom DeLay to have apologized and then "woo-hooed" Interns (interns > WOOOO!!!), then that is my perogative, yes? Yes. So, in future, please remember my opinions are equally valid, and much better reading. Thanks,

(Interns, WOOOO!!!, etc.)

Dr. Ryan Cool.

Warning

That edit to Santo Domingo was an accident with Navigation popups. If you like, I can stop using them until I learn to use them right. --Corporal Punishment 00:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Simple

The page is incredibly non-standard, as I explained in my comment—see WP:MOSDAB. Why did you revert? —johndburger 01:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The page had been a target for vandalism earlier today with nonsense additions and deletions to the disambig portions, which I will agree are non-standard on this page. At a quick glance, your edit appeared to be more of the same vandalism. I realize now that it wasn't. I did notice, however, that your edit to the page completely blanked the content about simple as an adjective and the content didn't appear to have been moved anywhere, and it wasn't linked from the new disambiguation page. I can make these adjustments, or leave them for you to do if you like. LaMenta3 01:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay. There's already a link to Wiktionary, and as far as I can tell, not a bit of that material refers to a WP page that someone might be looking for with simple. I'll delete it again. —johndburger 02:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Midge (TV Show)

• Yeah, I was wondering about that. Looking at your contribution history, you looked like an upstanding Wikicitizen, but the anon that is the sole contributor to these articles was... not. I just happened to catch the anon by clicking on Recent changes. If you can speedy it, that would be great. It bothers me immensely that contributors use Wikipedia for their own silly purposes. You showed quite a lot more good faith than I would have. :) Danny Lilithborne 03:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Speedied right along! LaMenta3 03:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandal Proof Errors

Hello, I realize that you are new to Vandal Proof but I feel the need to warn you ahead of time. On the page "[[Electrician]" you reverted a revert by Tachyon01. I understand that this was inadvertant but when using bots and automaters extra care needs to be taken so that things of this nature do not happen. I reverted it back to the previous version that did not have vandalism. This is just a heads up to be careful next time.--SomeStranger (T | C) 12:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

What looks like what happened is that we both tried to revert the same vandalism a few seconds apart, and as you reverted it back to the correct version, the automation got confused and my reversion went to the wrong one. I've had this happen using pop-ups as well, and I usually catch it when it does. Sometimes it's hard, though, when you're focused on the last bit of vandalism and don't notice something else the same user did somewhere else on the page. LaMenta3 17:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandals -- gotta catch 'em all! --Disavian 18:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

What about this one? Seems legit to me. Λυδαcιτγ^{(TheJabberwock)} 01:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Usually when something like that gets replaced by a name, it's just someone trying to be nasty. I didn't recognise the reference. I guess that's why we have multiple people editing this thing, huh? LaMenta3 04:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I was wondering what your reasoning was for proposing deletion of Michigan_Federation_of_College_Republicans with Vandal Proof. I removed the deletion tag. If the Republican one is deleted, then the Michigan_Federation_of_College_Democrats one should be deleted also. Ryanminier 14:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I considered it to be a non-notable school club, as most articles on school political organizations are. I didn't know there was also a Michigan Federation of College Democrats, as I had simply come across the Republicans page in the course of checking recent edits. Considering that I am of the belief that both organizations rather non-notable, would you be amenable to the replacement of the PfD if I also placed one on the MFCD page? LaMenta3 03:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I would be in favor of keeping both. I agree that many school clubs are non-notable, but in this case, it is one coalition of all clubs from colleges in a State. The individual College Republican clubs are not notable, but this article serves (or could possibly serve) for all the chapters in Michigan. Same for the Democrat one. IMO, both could stand to be expanded, if possible, and if they were, would become much more useful. Ryanminier 04:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

I'm very sorry, but my friend paid me $10 to abuse Wikipedia like that. I know that it takes you a bit of time to revert to the old page, but $10 is $10.

Unspecified source for Image:Dave keuning.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dave keuning.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oden 02:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Please note that I did not put that tag and please read WP:AAGF. Cbrown1023 14:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

True, that is a certain period that one may have to wait. However, the page can be deleted at any time because when improperly licensed, it is illegal to have on Wikipedia. Cbrown1023 22:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem, you are right, I was referring to a different case by accident. :-P Happy editing! Cbrown1023 00:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Non-free license

Wikipedia only allows image under a license which permits commercial and/or derivative use. {{cc-nc}} or {{cc-nd}} is not a compatible license. If you want to upload your own work under a compatible license I would recommend {{GFDL}} or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. My own photos (commons:User:Oden) are public domain, but I happen to be a big fan of free content. --Oden 08:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Verfiability?

you dont make much sense when you say it is not your job to verify information. when you go to a website or look in a book you are verifing it. just because it is more easy for you to do this rather than go to the library and confirm my edit does not make mine unverifiable. it only means you dont have time to verify it. dont use your opinion on your edits. you are too closed minded when it comes getting information if you think a computer has everything in it.knowledgebase —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knowledgebase11 (talk • contribs)

Thanks again for messaging me about the reference problems and offering assistance.Reb 21:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 20 February, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Thaddeus Young, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

--Yomangani^talk 10:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a sock-puppet.

Next time leave a message on my talk page before you vandalize my user page, idiot.

--Evergreens78 05:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Good day!

Since today is such a nice day I decided I'd be a good friend and send you a list of former members of the house of representatives. Enjoy! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evergreens78 (talk • contribs)

Yeah, um...I'm going to remove that list. LaMenta3 01:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:Did you know/Next update

Hi and thanks for your vigilance in vandalism reverting. However, this edit I made to Template:Did you know/Next update is routine maintenance: the next update page needs to be cleared out after the DYKs are updated so that people can start preparing for the next batch of DYK facts. Regards, howcheng {chat} 06:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Oops. My bad. LaMenta3 06:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

recent references on BE

Thanks. I too learn from these, as no one person is likely to have encountered them all even in fiction. And I do like to be appreciated. DGG 19:16, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

The Barnstar of Rescue For an excellent job improving the Amanda Lexx article under AFD. If it is kept, it will be because of your work. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 14:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the smile, LaMenta. Now I can face a new day's AfDs-- and maybe even a little actual editing. And congratulations on the barnstar-- great work! Dekkappai 16:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Clean up?

Hi, You said that my article on spanish tv series Un paso adelante needed cleanup. Could you be more specific? Is my english not good enough (basically, I'm french)? Or is it just about the way I arranged the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitch1981 (talk • contribs)
