You've made lots of good edits, so why are you suddenly vandalizing? -- Jnelson09 02:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Holy crap!! I did an undo on 147.92.2.47's "is gay". Sorry, I don't know how that happened. --Xerxesnine
OK, I believe you. It's just that there's so many homophobes in this world, you can't trust anyone. No hard feelings, I hope. -- Jnelson09 20:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I noticed you've been keeping up with several persistent vandals. I'm curious why you're "undo"-ing rather than reverting. With conseucitve vandalism edits, it always seemed easier to me to edit and save the last good version rather than using the "undo" link (which is more helpful when a bad edit has been superseded by other edits). Just curious/trying to help. Good luck! -- Fru1tbat 17:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Heh, you're probably right. :) -- Fang Aili talk 04:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I caution you to assume good faith. I have no affiliation with freecomputerbooks.com or any of the parties in the dispute about its external link on C++. I have independently evaluated that link, and have found it to be more informative than multiuple existing external links. That it is ad-supported or referral-supported has no bearing. Tens of thousands of our external links are to such ad-supported sites. Furthermore, if you would have checked User talk:Yamla, you would have seen that I have already discussed this issue there before replacing the link.
Please discuss this on Talk:C++. Thank you. AnAccount2 22:10, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
You said: "Hello, have you done much in attempting to expose these likely sockpuppets? Since this person is an especially persistent nuisance, I would be willing to pursue it myself. I only ask because I don't want to step on your heels if you've already started."
I am very upset about your unfounded accusation of spamming. I am considering leaving the project because of people like you, but I want to try dispute resolution first. If you agree to participate in dispute resolution, then please post a question at the Village Pump asking whether the link I want to insert is spam. AnAccount2 07:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
hi Xerxesnine: thanks for the feedback. Sorry I made a mess of the RAII article. Coming back to C++ from C# and Python, I forgot just how many layers of "nuance" and dark corners there are in the C++ programming language. <:\ Thanks for your patience and persistence as a Wikipedia contributor. Runtime
You were right that std::cout requires an #include <iostream>, but why did you leave in the #include <ostream> directive? There is no need for that surely? -- drrngrvy tlk @ 20:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
ok, I'm getting a little frustrated with heavy-handed admins reversing my changes. Here are a couple of points that, as an embedded systems programmer, I have experienced that warrants the change in the 'Hello World' application code:
I understand the reasoning behind including <ostream> in addition to <iostream>, because there exists a theoretical system that would produce compiler errors while remaining perfectly adherent to the C++ standard, as the standard does not explicitly require ostream to be included by iostream. == However ==, There also exists an (equally likely) system that adhers to the C++ standard that will error as a result of the current "Hello World" code. The problem exists because compilers in general have no method to detect whether a header file has been included multiple times. It is up to the implementation of ostream.h whether compilation directives protecting the double-inclusion of the header file are in place.
Less-common versions of the C++ compiler (e.g., Microchip's for the pic18) may not have these directives, and as such the Hello World application will fail to compile.
That said, I have modified the Hello World code to avoid both of these scenarios, and compile well in *any* system. I have done this anonymously, so this is not a matter of pride. I am simply trying to bring Wikipedia up to the level of consistency it pretends to adher to with the inclusion of ofstream in the first place.
At worst, the code I have provided is no less correct, and is no less clear, than the previous version, while retaining portability. I beg the Wikipedia administrative community to please, please get over their meaningless convictions over this issue and allow an objectively more correct version of the hello world application to grace the page on c++.
You are a long way off from violating WP:3RR on C++, while the anonymous user has already violated this policy, but you have two reversions so far and I have warned him, so I thought I'd remind you of this policy in the unlikely case you aren't aware. Once again, you appear in no danger of violating this policy, I'm just making sure. -- Yamla 20:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for finally putting your pride behind you and seeing things my way. The C++ article is a more valuable resource as a result. 207.207.127.254 ( talk · contribs)
I didn't realize that making useful edits to an important page was considered 'warring'. I thought that's what Wikipedia was about, allowing any user to add content without an authentication procedure. I am disappointed to learn that I am wrong, and that some users have taken it upon themselves to diligently undo any edits they don't agree with, under the guise of 'consensus'. 207.207.127.254 ( talk · contribs)
We might consider asking an admin to semi-protect this article if the hello world wars continue... ATren 15:48, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I really wish you could just be civil about this whole thing, Xerxes. It doesn't seem right that, while you constantly revert to the version *you* want my talk page to be, then tattletail to the admins when I make it more readable, you continue to erase my comments on your own talk page. Seems a bit...hypocritical, don't you think? 207.207.127.254 ( talk • contribs)

I never realized how often you badger admins to attack me. This is probably why I thought the Wikipedia admins were so cruel.
Why all the personal attacks? Have I done something wrong?
This isn't the spirit of Wikipedia.
In other news, the edits that I made in good faith to the hello world example have finally been accepted by the Wikipedia community. Yes, the hello world code that you warned and even banned me temporarily for defending is now the standard. Maybe next time you will treat people trying to help the community with respect instead of just wildly abusing your privilidges. -Norvig —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.95.70 ( talk) 18:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
It's been almost a month since my change to RAII, which you initially rejected. I've put changes back in, as well as justification. I'm not sure if you agree, disagree, or have even seen it, but since you were the one who rejected it initially, I explicitly invite you to review my latest changes/defense. 75.130.108.174 02:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
