Replies may be here or on your talk page, hopefully on both. BTW, your talk page is here.

re: WP:DRV subpage name

While the header that was visible on the page was inconsistent, the subpage name actually is consistent with the naming convention that's been in use for as far back as I checked - at least for all of November and longer if I remember correctly. I think that the intent was to make the archive pages easier to navigate if/when we ever needed to find a particular one. I know that I'd rather not have to scan through a list sorted 1 Nov 2003, 1 Nov 2004, 1 Nov 2005, 1 Nov 2006, 2 Nov 2003, 2 Nov 2004, ...

Rossami (talk) 22:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Also, this was probably not the best place to leave it (As I am on enforced wikibreak). I didn't have time to check the other pages, but since the header was inconsistent I assumed the page name was also inconsistent... 24.89.197.136/Logical2u on Enforced Wikibreak 01:41, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting Oopsie

Thanks for fixing that... I noticed it redirected to vandal so I was wondering, "How on earth did I make a redirect?!?" Heh, I'm a little slow today... -WarthogDemon 21:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i emailed the writer

Hey I contacted the writer through email and he was more than happy to have it on wikipedia. So how is going to work. Does he need to make the article or do i give a copy of the email? Sayeed212 20:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage Vandalism

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page and telling me about it on my talk page :-). StoptheDatabaseState 23:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Pie

Your recent edit to Pie (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. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 17:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that was unexpected. The diff is the bot re-vandalizing the page. User:Logical2u_Talk 17:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah... well, it happened to me, too. Look. Maybe it's because you're faster than the bot ;).

Bye. FrancoGG ^{( talk )} 17:45, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's ... odd ...

In response to your note, yes, we posted the warnings at the same time (although I didn't get an actual "error conflict" message). You must have reverted about one millisecond before me, as your "rvv" rather than mine shows up on the history, not that it matters. I was going to revert my duplicative warning, but decided not to bother; let him know that two people are watching. Regards, Newyorkbrad 18:21, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Current events/Canada

I just checked using Firefox and I don't seem to be experiencing those problems. This is also the first I've heard of this problem so far. The fact that the calendar is over expanding out of its section puzzles me. Each section, such as information, is in essence is its own page. The pages are transposed onto the main page as sections. I don't see how the content can be larger than the page section. I recommend we leave at the original settings as those are the same measurements as the other current events pages and since no one has reported similar problems, we also have to look at the possibility that it could just be your version of firefox. Let me know if you think of anything. Mkdw ^talk 20:07, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I slightly adjusted the sizing to frame the section box 2px evenly around the Information Calendar. Before it was right justified. Did it help? Mkdw ^talk 01:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Airlines crash

The discovery of the wreckage and 12 survivors is "old news" and was later found false, as stated in the article. Someone will revert your edits unless you provide a reliable source, or a source that does not require signup/subscription to confirm the discovery of the wreckage. Acdx 20:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It didn't require a subscription. It was blatantly free on my Google News page, and it continues to appear on a random basis (Interspersed, as I have noticed now, with "Crash Not Actually Found")
The article I used did not have a timestamp, as such it makes it difficult to determine the which article is the most recent.
You can remove the dispute tag as I have removed the sourced statements I added, unless you have something more accurate to state.
Instead of making this angry sounding post on my talk page, I'd like it better if you reverted me, THEN warned me. That seems to be a better use of time.
The LA Times isn't reliable?
User:Logical2u_Talk 20:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies if my message sounded angry, didn't intend for it to. When I opened the LA times link, a login screen came up. But apparently everything's cleared up now, I'll take the tag away. Acdx 20:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You beat me to it Acdx 20:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, apologies if I sound angry... I'm doing some work in the background while being easily distracted by Wikipedia... When I came back here, I reread what I wrote, and I thought "Ogod, I'm banned for Personal Attacks now". At least it's over... User:Logical2u_Talk 20:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I see your point. Fair enough. In fact I put an enormous ammount of time to improve and create many new threads in Korn article, and keep it updated, hence (without knowing about semi-protection) I put semi-protection just to avoid random people making annoying and not documented statements or changes.

Re: wp:defcon

Defcon 0 is exactly as the description says. Unknown. The defcon is never 1, so I set it to 0 so that someone who knows would set it to what it should be. Pilotguy later changed it to 3. Zsinj^Talk 02:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was polite about it.

I did say 'please' after all. Wiki deals in facts, not opinions. He may think 'wiki doesn't need this', but it's not his place or business to delete articles. And as for the troll, hey, a guy gets bored constantly reverting, y'know? They're only here to stir up shit anyway, so sometimes I have a bit of fun with it.

Re:Note

Hi. Thanks for telling me about soft redirects. Is there a page on it? Also, when you said, "that will work", did you mean "that won't work"? Also, I was just experimenting in the sandbox, even though I'm not a newbie. I was testing to see if the redirects work, and to what extent. Thanks. A stroHur ricane 00 1^{(Talk+Contribs+Ubx)} 22:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm vague; I guess what I meant to say is that a cross-name space redirect won't work (yet). Soft-redirects are weird, here's the guide page on'em : Wikipedia:Soft redirect. Hope it explains it better than I can. Logical2u_Talk 22:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for showing me the link to soft redirects. Soft redirects are kind of weird, they're more of cross-website redirects, I've only seen them once or twice, and they actually tell you they're a redirect in large font (compared to the "redirected from..." things with most redirects). I've found that cross-namespace redirects, do in fact work, although they're usually discouraged and often deleted. A stroHur ricane 00 1^{(Talk+Contribs+Ubx)} 22:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday. Thanks! Logical2u_Talk 22:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Khairuddin Mohamed Yusof

Logical2u, Professor Khairuddin Mohamed Yusof is someone I very much personally knows including his home address, family vice versa. I know his background more than what is written in his shareholding company.I have no idea about the published article, and how identical it is to the one that I have (I got the detail from his possession; probably he wrote that for the company). After reading about the university in wikipedia, I thought it would be good to add his profile and a bit background about him using his profile that I have.Now that I know it was published, I will do changes on his profile as soon as I could. I am against plagiarism / copyrights and I know it is not right – One of the lessons I learn from him personally. Thanks for the message. - Jay 17:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You kind of reverted over a revert, which lead to your edit being vandalism. Just so you know. Logical2u_{Review me!} 19:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Communist Party of Trinidad and Tobago

I have removed the prod on Communist Party of Trinidad and Tobago. Although I agree that it desperately needs sources, I don't follow why that makes it non-notable. Guettarda 15:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The only references I found to it during a Google search were from a CIA report on government elements in Trinidad and Tobaga, with this group listed under the "Communist" section. Taken from WP:ORG, Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found. Individual chapters of national organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable sources. So basically, it's not notable unless it has sources, according to the notability guidelines...Logical2u_{Review me!} 17:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Individual chapters of national organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article - how does this statement apply to this article? Also Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable - that might be the case, but this is a national-level organisation. Guettarda 19:17, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I might have read the page (and cited it in my argument) too fast. I apologize. It is a national party, but it still has to follow the general criteria: An organization or group is notable if it has been the subject of at least one substantial or multiple, non-trivial published works. If it doesn't meet something along those lines (Frankly, I'd be happy if there was a citation of their placement in any election), stuff needs to be done. This then opens up a new can of worms when we get into all the other political groups, especially in Canada, which has at least a dozen... The more specific organization criteria also necessitates independent sources. The remedy for failing to meet these criteria is supposed to be cleanup, then if all else fails, deletion (the type of deletion depends on which page you look at) for groups that don't meet it. Logical2u_{Review me!} 20:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zorpia.com

Wikipedia has deleted Zorpia from their database. Wikipedia claims dat zorpia is some kinda drug related spam site which have got connections with pharmaceuticals. wikipedia even doubts the number of members zorpia houses. i have been a member of Zorpia.com since Oct 15, 2006 and they have really got these many members and its a genuine social networking website. how can u believe this? by joining zorpia and seeing it for ur self. All we know the reasons zorpia was got deleted off wikipedias database was due to lack of verifiable sources to assert its notability. i have got some sources for you and so please go through these sources and please make the other admins notifiable of these sources as well. Here are some sources that proves the notability of Zorpia:

USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/webguide/internetlife/2004-02-29-photoshare_x.htm

Pulse 2: http://pulse2.com/category/nettwerk-music-group/ (Note quotes from Nettwerk Records Marketing Director)

Please look into this matter and give Zorpia.com its honour and glory back. I absolutely love zorpia and i know how lovely this site is.

Your marking of Sputnik browser for deletion

Your rationale for deleting the article says "it is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject" but this is not the case. Sputnik browser is a web-browser. Please remove that banner or come up with one that applies. DanielM 17:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote on my talk page that "All subjects must assert notability. It's best to read it as Unremarkable content." You linked to a *proposed* guideline/policy that may or may not apply. Please refer us to an existing guideline/policy that applies. I think it's notable on its face, but please cite your assertion that "all subjects must assert notability" and we can look at that rule (if there is one) and decide if it applies. DanielM 18:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I asked you to back up your assertion but you just reasserted it instead: "The article needs to assert notability, and relatively verifiable notability." Can you point to an existing policy or guideline that says this? I think it's notable, but I would rather answer to a policy or guideline than to your personal assertion. DanielM 18:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The basic rules on notability are here: Wikipedia:Notability. The details are subject to constant discussion, but these are the rules that apply to your assertion of notability. --Orange Mike 20:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
