Hi, just thought I'd let you know that according to the
cleanup listing, the article currently has an unsourced statement. Because the page is a Featured List, it would be great if it could be resolved quickly. Thanks,

While I appreciate your edits, the changes in the fractional forms didn't appear to improve the article visually, and may have harmed it. I much prefer ½ to 1⁄2 because the former doesn't get clipped in my browser. Likewise with versus 1⁄1836.—

Could I ask you not to line-merge the citation entries on the Electron article? It is much easier to edit the page when the citation fields can be clearly distinguished. Thank you.—

Hi Headbomb. I reverted you twice today, so I thought I should leave you a note. Please do not put the "orphan" tag on articles that have three or more links from other articles. Per
Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage#What is an orphan? orphans are articles with fewer than three incoming links from other articles (with some other qualifications).
Brewster's angle is far from being an orphan.--

I see you are
aware of the problem. It would be nice if you would go through your edit history and check each of the places where you have put an orphan tag on an article via the bot today. --

Yeah I noticed that. I was using AWB and AWB placed the orphan tags. I assumed it worked fine, but then I noticed a couple of reverts for the orphan tags (I file a bug report for AWB). I'll go through my contribs soon (tomorrow night probably) (it's a simple matter of searching for "orphan" in the edit summaries, so if you want to do it before I get to it, go right ahead.

Can't say I like the idea of having one template. standardization will soon lead to a single citation format. then we'll have format nazis running around imposing their will on everyone. You'll say it won't happen. You'd be naive to say so. :-)
Headbomb. On a matter of principle, I can no longer help you deal with this guy. I absolutely refuse to waste my time dealing with him. I will no longer respond to anything he does. My only fear is that my silence in response to his provocations will embolden him to be further disruptive on Wikipedia and make a claim that “since there is no objection to his motions…” or “since the opinion is evenly divided…” or some such nonsense, that he will start editing against consensus. I feel sorry about taking this position and leaving you and Fnagaton to deal with him. Perhaps the thing to do is for you two to coordinate on an ANI. I think Thunderbird2’s disruptiveness on Wikipedia has exceeded the value of his contributions and it is time for the admins to consider a permanent ban. He is pretty much a “single-issue” editor and his “issue” is contrary to what is best for Wikipedia. I won’t respond to Thunderbird2 directly. I won’t respond to “All” to indirectly refute him. I won’t even delete his antics on Talk:MOSNUM. I have simply decided that he is a bug splat on my windshield of life and I will keep the pedal to the metal. No rule of law on this
Pale Blue Dot requires that I have to give him the time of day and engage him in his antics and let him into my headspace. Last time I checked, I had not been drafted into the U.S. Army and still had free will.
Yes, I was in fact just looking at RfC/Ban/RfA pages to find whatever the proper venue is for this sort of disruptive and tendicious behaviour. I'll notify you soon.

Yes I would support administrative action against Thunderbird2, it is time to give him a stern message that his disruptive editing is not wanted on Wikipedia.Fnagaton07:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
“Ramen”. I had to read the entire link. Then I went back to your “Ramen.” Then I got it. Funny. Damn funny. Very gooooood. Greg L (
