Xoloz - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Xoloz He banned me for an hour because I cleared my own Talk page. So I go over to the Talk Page help ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk) No where does it say you can't clear your talk page. Further it doesn't say anything about being banned for clearing your own talk page. Wow! good job Xoloz, you're really on the ball. By the way I recently heard this worship leader (Paul Guffey) and I thought I would see if he is on wikipedia. So I do a search and find this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_worship_music_artists Well sure enough he is on that list, so I go and try and add a page for him. Bad idea. It will get you banned. Oh well. --Rodgerbales

The idea that there's no period after the "S" is an urban legend. Harry S. Truman himself used the period both in his signature and on his letterhead. [1] - Nunh-huh 05:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, maybe it is because I go slower and fall behind, but I'm noticing that several people are missing some of the vandalism. For instance in Mark Rothko you'll see that the vandal made two edits, but you only reverted one of them. Of course, maybe that was just you picking the wrong link to start your revert. Just being grumpy I guess. You are definitely helping. Shenme 05:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I turned that nonsense page into a redirect to the actual brand. I had no idea it was normally spelled without a space. "Uh-oh", indeed... Bobak 05:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your contribution to the opera article. I admire your dedication to getting the information, but I had to revert it due to Wikipedia's no original research policy. If you can find a reliable source that backs it up, you can include it. Thanks. - Motor ( talk) 19:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I was in an academic challenge club in high school too. We also did activities similar to quiz bowl. Your username is also very interesting. It's very long Academic Challenger 23:54, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
While I understand your concern, I do not believe the article should be deleted. A google search of his name reveals hits independent of his status as Roger's dad, and his study was published in a notable peer-reviewed, scholarly publication, indicating that it did in fact have some impact on the field in which he works (chemical whitening). We should definitely clean up and expand the article, but not delete it. What do you think? Stanley011 05:04, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey I went ahead and did it yea but student-rant is there usual. Adding links in mid page instead of external solutions they way you requested and set the page up.
Hi, I saw that you've added {{sprotect}} to the Da Vinci Code's page. I appreciate your desire to stop/prevent vandalism, but merely adding that template doesn't protect the page. Since anonymous edits continued while it was present, it doesn't appear to dissuade vandalism either. If you think protection is warranted (and it may well be; I haven't been following very closely), you really should put in a request at WP:RPP. -- stubblyh ea d | T/ c 00:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I see you marked this article for speedy deletion. I almost did the same but couldn't find a CSD that it fell under, so I used the prod process instead. One small thought: if you come across an article that is tagged for prod (or AfD) and you decide to nominate it for speedy, could you leave the prod notice in place? That way if it is not speedied, it will still go through prod. There is no reason not to have both on the article. Thanks, Gwernol 00:59, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Concerning this edit you made at this article. Notice that the article was never protected or semi-protected. The {{ sprotected}} tag is only to be added when the article has been protected. Ordinarily, the Admin who protects the article will add the tag. Please do not re-add the tag again. If you believe that semi-protection is required for the article, please post a request at WP:RfPP, or, alternatively, contact an Admin directly and provide evidence to support your claim. Once the article has indeed been protected, then the tag will be re-inserted. Thanks, Redux 02:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I got your message. Thanks yea the user 67.101.128.6 who is telling me that I was going to get banned or something. Anyways you can see all day he has been messing with the page and other users have been continually reverting the page. Thanks M1ss Rodgerbales 03:01, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gwernol#da_vinci_code_page He is trying to blame this on the admin from my site when I am not even the one that is making the revision. Other people are making them because this guy is spamming. I did as you requested trying to abide by the rules of the wiki and even created a whole new blog just for the Da Vinci Code like you requested and he is blaming this one me. It's crazy especially since I am not even the one making the revisions, other users are.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodgerbales ( talk • contribs)
Hey, you seemed to be fairly knowledgable about Internet activity. This user from student-rant has create this page http://assfucked.blogspot.com and has threatened me. Is there something I should do about this? Rodgerbales 16:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Look at the revert history -- it has more truth than you can handle. I never removed anybodys link from the page. Look at the very first revision that I made. I simply added my site to the page under your link. Thats all I did. Rodgerbales 18:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
I think we should keep Ameria's posting or whatever, but if it can't be backed up in 3 days, someone should erase it--that's my opinion on the whole thing.

I noticed you started an AFD on Characters Per Second in Typing. If you think the article should be merged and redirected, you're welcome to be bold and do it yourself. You don't have to wait for group consensus for something like that. Joyous | Talk 23:05, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
His B-Day is not in 1994. In his bio, it says "Years Active", that means how many years he has been an active rapper, not when he was born. Please get back to me when you read this. Jay 19:34, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I sympathize with your frustration over the edit-warring which is occurring on this page. You are right to step in to attempt to mediate. However, your comment at the top of the page was over the line. You do not own the article any more than the anon users in the edit war do. You may not require anyone to "run everything by you" nor may you threaten to have anyone banned. To be honest, such threats are far more likely to get you blocked as a violation of WP:CIVIL, an action which would leave the edit-warriors with even less to hold them in check.
I trust that this was just a loss of temper and that reverting the comment is sufficient.
For the page itself, it looks like the edit war has died down for the night. If it continues, please contact me (or any other admin) and request that the page be temporarily protected. That is the normal approach to forcing the participants in an edit war to move their dispute to the Talk page. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 04:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
-Did you see the discussion page recently? I guess the truth comes out. I always KNEW there was some sort of political hatred going on there--that was the only explanation. Anyways I posted some comments there---I think we may finally be getting to the bottom of this whole thing, and quite possibly opening up the article to make it better without all these damn edit wars!-- Blogger82 15:39, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
If your bot is going to tag articles with {{ db-bio}}, it should reflect that in the edit summary rather than "bot-aided spell checker"... ( ESkog)( Talk) 21:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Although I agree that this reads like a promotional piece for the book, it is also informative, and is not directing the reader of the article to a store or website where the book can be purchased. This is not a speedy deletion candidate, so I have restored the article and sent it to AfD instead. Cheers! BD2412 T 04:01, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Your bot is creating some redirects, but they don't seem to work when the characters aren't normal ASCII. Specifically, your bot seems to be grabbing titles from the URLs and instead of putting in () , it's putting in &28 (or whatever the code is), which breaks the redirects.

Sorry, there must be some misunderstanding, the only section that I wrote in the article was the popular culture section, while your link definitely suggests that I changed that part of the article about sex offenders, I promise that I didn't.
While you have solid evidence, I swear to you, I don't know muchabout that subject and so therefore I would never write about it. Thanks for clearing this up. Pumpkin Pi 15:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks again for clarifying. The information that I wrote was sumarized from the original super best friends article, but I will shorten my summary to make it fit the article better. You do great work, keep it up. Pumpkin Pi 02:36, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
The page is blocked from editing due to vandalism. Sorry, I'm new to Wikipedia, is there any way around this in the short term, or does one just have to wait for the dust to settle. Thanks for helping me out. Pumpkin Pi 02:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
You don't need to worry about re-adding it. Someone already summarized my paragraph in the trivia section. I'm glad this worked out in the end. Pumpkin Pi 02:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Good idea. Though for nn stuff it should probably be speedied anyway if you ask me. -- M1ss1ontomars2k4 01:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I just think there are too many admins out there who abuse their powers, and so we need a sort of Request for removal of Admins or something before we have more. Ardenn 23:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I must have forgotten to finish the AfD for that article, although I can't imagine why. Thanks for letting me know, I'll do it again and this time right. Oh and thanks for letting me know about my "history of strange deletion practices", didn't know that either. Optimale Gu 11:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh I know now why it didn't work yesterday and why I got confused! After adding {{subst:afd1}} to the article, the link to the deletion page already exists and shows a page with an already finished procedure of a speedy deletion process. So I was confused and thought maybe this article was deleted while I was working on it. Well, the same thing happens now again and as I'm not sure what to do with that strange phenomina, I'll forget the AfD for the moment and get on with my life.

"In short, don't remove content from Wikipedia." This is not an absolute rule. I've read the discussion first, nobody there says that the personal habits of Hitler have any significance for the topic at hand. All doubt the NPOV of that part. If nobody defends this paragraph, why not delete it? If you have arguments, post them at discussion. But Hitler's habits are NOT an argument per se, or else we would have to quote his opinion at every other topic, like vegetarism, classical music, cars, art... 81.14.152.197 23:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
After reading over the "Random Blank Areas" I discovered that they were generally false and were not supported by any sources. I'm not sure if you read over them in the page history, but they were incredibly offensive and racist and were most likely tagged on at some point by an abusive or racist user trying to spread a racist message.
Read it over, it clearly violates the NPOV policy.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.38.203.196 ( talk • contribs)

I think there are some more, those are only the ones that Striver listed in one of the afds. If you want go ahead and afd them, but I am not going to. You have to understand, that there is a group of people that surround this user and protect his "contributions" by systematically voting keep on his afds (many times resulting in no consensus keeps). It really gets quite annoying, I have been attacked by his "followers", he even launched an rfc against me. Doesn't matter what he does, even listing afds to articles solely to make a point (as I mention in my response in that rfc) they just defend him and it works, really discourages me from continuing to contribute to the project.-- Jersey Devil 05:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi M1ss1ontomars2k4. I've been watching your RfA. My guess is you're unlikely to get to the 80% support generally regarded as consensus to promote. It looks to me like to community is saying you're a good editor who will make a good admin, but you need more time and edits. I supported you because I believe you are ready now, but I also know that as admin standards continue to rise its getting harder and harder to make your case. You might consider a dignified withdrawal and try again in a couple of months. I think you'll have a much greater chance of success then and no-one would hold a withdrawal at this stage against you.
If you do decide to withdraw, and you keep up the level of commitment and wisdom you've shown so far, I'd not only support your next RfA, but I'd also be interested in nominating you myself. All the best, Gw e rnol 15:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Dear Mission, I want you to know that I'm positive you'll make a great admin in no time, and that I praise your courage and self criticism in withdrawing your RfA for the moment. You're doing an awesome work - please, keep it up, and don't be discouraged. Nobody opposed because you're doing something wrong - on the contrary, we just want you to keep going exactly the way you do just for a little longer. So please, don't get down on me. You strike me not only as a superb editor, but as a great person too. If you ever need my help, or you just feel like talking, my Talk page will always be open to you. Kudos to you, dear Mission! Kisses, Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 22:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I saved my revert to the vandalism the same time as you, but you must have been half a second before me. I've left test2 on the user page. This article gets vandalised so much I've tried to have it semi-protected. It's just a predictable waste of time and it's not going to stop. See the talk page discussion. Best, Tyrenius 01:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
The proposal's only been on the talk page for 2 days, so I think it might be best to leave there for another 3 days to give time for any more responses. Thanks for your useful addition. Tyrenius 01:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you've used the "vote" symbol on AfD. Could I persuade you to not do that? While it often looks like a vote, it's not. Emphasising the binary/counting nature makes the discussion appear less important, when in fact it's the whole point. Thanks.

Hey, I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, so I wasn't sure how to talk, and deleted the link to the Wiire website before figuring out how to do this. (because the reversion what was I did understand how to do.) In any case, there was a discussion about the removal off non-official links to the console due to the fact that the console hadn't been released yet, and therefore nobody would really have anything that contributed anything of an encyclopedic nature. One of the people in the discussion deleted all of the links yesterday and nobody raised an issue. Is there some specific reason you felt it, and it alone should be re-added? 72.130.21.164 06:45, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! -- AmiDaniel ( talk) 02:52, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Ptah is also pronounced Peter (P-TAH) as in Peter the fisherman. Fishing refers to the sexual act amongst other things.
I have made no joke comments to date.
Egyptian centered catholicism is not the same as Protestantism.
PTAH refers to the Power of Thoth Atum Horus hence P.T.A.H.
This is not the same as Pater (Father) as GOD Himself is too powerful to be here.

I hope this reaches you.
On another point I suggest that the circular temple behind the Sphinx on the other side of the Pyramid of Khafre is the Hall Of Records of US all and may also be interprested as HORUS.
You wil find a lot of connection in the abbreviations such as BC which refers to a Broken Cripple as depicted by the figure of 'Christ' on a cross.
'Christ' is purported to have fed 5000 people fish and loaves not 5 billion.

Wow, that's a weird article. As far as I can tell its a weird mix of original research (Omicon is the "most little (sic)" part of an atom? Its a revolutionary non-technology?) and mis-spelling of Omicron. Its unsourced, so unverifiable, of course. I'd be bold and REDIRECT it to Omicron as a reasonable mis-spelling. If the user complains, then revert the REDIRECT to its current state and AfD it, which I'm sure would come to the same conclusion. Well spotted, Gw e rnol 23:28, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.
I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, Titoxd, JoanneB, and Freakofnurture.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page, or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users on our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, please see the IRC Tutorial, which was written by one of our members. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

You make a very good point, dear Mission - from my humble experience and after talking to many foreign editors for whom english is second (or even third) language, I believe that every day, en.wiki receives flocks of editors who prefer to edit here instead of their own language wikis. This surely leads to us having an immense number of junk accounts, yes - tho I also think you're right when you estimate that the number of valuable and committed editors here is also greatly growing. Considering that the number of active admins is somewhere around 300 or so, according to the last estimations I saw, I believe we should have more admins, willing to control the surmounting vandalism and general administrative duties. So, keep this in mind - and reapply asap! We need guys like you with that mop in hand ;) Big big hug, Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 22:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I just wan to know about something. May I ask you about something? Today, I have been trying to put the colors to my ID when I sent them message. I still can't figure out how to put the color for ID. Suddenly, I saw that there are many users use special colors in his/her ID. I'm just curious about putting colors in my ID. So, Could you explain to me how to put the color in my own ID when I send them message? Please, Explain about this question in my discussion page. Thank you. Daniel5127, 04:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Please see the discussion on my talk page. When I use the four tildes to sign my name it comes out incorrectly, so RadioKirk is trying to contact software people to fix it. For now-I'm using three which come out correctly. I have been doing it a little differently, sometimes adding a link to the discussion page. ForestH2
That diff was actually what led me to the article, while clicking down a screen of recent changes. I assume if we just watch the article as appropriate and wait it out, the article will settle down soon enough; according to the chunk of text I removed, they just had their student council elections on Friday, so it looks like now everyone wants to go on here and fight it out. It'll settle down in a few days, and who knows, the message I left on the talk page might even have an effect. In any event, don't worry about temporarily reverting me; I've made far worse mistakes on here, and the world hasn't stopped spinning yet (that I've noticed). -- Robth Talk 05:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

The anon user may not understand Talk pages. I have left a full welcome on their Talk page; I hope that they will understand it. If there is no response in twenty-four hours or so, I'll unprotect. If the anon user only returns then and continues without discussion, semi-protection would be appropriate. Jkelly 22:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Lol. Sometimes I just can't help myself.
You know the old GBS quote "Some men see things as they are and ask Why. I dream things that never were and ask Why Not".
Well, my version of that is "I see connections that only a madman would see, and say Cool". One could say I have an apatite for such things. Cheers. JackofOz 05:19, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Dear J. Kelly:
The only evidence that Cicero operated a Golden Dawn temple in 1977 comes from Cicero's own book, and one reference to that same book by a friend. In fact, Cicero's only formal contact in the Occult community in 1977 was the O.T.O.'s Major Grady McMurty.
While, like tens of thousands of others, Cicero may have bought a copy of Regardie's doorstopper/black book, he did not meet Regardie until Pat Behman (a/k/a Cris Monnastre) and Regardie flew down, at Behman's insistence, to Athens, Ga. This was in the early 1980s (where Cicero, as is a matter of public record, see the attached links to the affidavit of Charles Cicero, infra to this text; Cicero operated a strip club- "The Shady Lady").
Monnastre did in fact write the introduction to Regardie’s -black book- and it is P.O.V. of J.M. to attempt to link Cicero to a work totally unrelated to him. Llewellyn in fact has largely stopped publishing Cicero's works, which H.O.G.D., Inc. now markets through Thoth Publications.
Regardie's ONLY students were Pat Behman, Larry Epperson, William Kelly and Alan Millar, and Cicero has admitted that he was never initiated into ANY grade of the Golden Dawn by Regardie (all Cicero's initiations come from Epperson). In fact, Cicero only briefly met Regardie on two or three occasions. Regardie left the bulk of his papers to Alan Miller/Gary Ford's "Isreal Reardie Foundation," and gifted his magical tools to Pat Behman, (who gifted them to David Griffin).
As to the fact that Cicero licensees deviate from Golden Dawn tradition, please see the landmarks provision of the contract between Griffin/Behman's H.O.G.D. and Cicero's H.O.G.D., Inc. (and the associated sale of partnership from Behman to Griffin). The links infra to this text, to which the attached documents originate, are from public records. There is currently ongoing litigation, which seeks to invalidate these licenses. (Including those of J.M.'s group, which is heavily Thelemic in orientation).
Please note that J.M. has inappropriately, and in a very unprincipled manner, altered the H.O.G.D. entry in a manner that is not only P.O.V. but incorrect, defamatory and malicious. The correct entry should be:
"====The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Rosicrucian Order of the A+O====
["javascript:ol(' http://www.golden-dawn.com');" Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Rosicrucian A+O]
is currently a sole proprietorship originally organized as a general partnership in 1992 by Patricia Behman (aka Cris Monnastre, a student of Regardie's) and David John Griffin. Behman had operated the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn temples in Los Angeles throughout the 1980s. Prompted by Regardie, Behman formed an unincorporated association with Charles Cicero and Adam Forrest. After withdrawing her endorsement from that organization in 1992 to continue the unschismed version with Griffin, she eventually sold her partnership interest to Griffin in May, 1998. Griffin's H.O.G.D. has modernized the practices of the original Order of Westcott and Mathers since it teaches all the previously published Inner Order materials and practices (notably by Regardie) in the Outer Order. It thus allows adepti to follow a structured curriculum in advanced Hermetic Alchemy. The material taught in their Outer Order is described in "The Ritual Magic Manual: A Comprehensive Course in Practical Magic", by David John Griffin. Mr. Griffin holds the European Community trademark to the name "Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn" registered with the Office of Harmonization in the Internal Market (O.H.I.M.), holds the trademark in Canada, and has a contractual agreement with H.O.G.D. Inc. to share the name "Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn" on a worldwide basis."
Please contact me should you have any questions. Thank you. Frater FiatLux 03:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore to the supra posting:
The information in this, the present article, now under protection, is derived from “published” book sources. I’m not trying to make any new statements, the article in it’s present, protected form is the most accurate and the one that I am in agreement with. I’m merely validating the present version, under protection, with HARD, VERIFIABLE, ORIGINAL COURT AFFIDAVITS; as evidence for why the present version of the article, after it was rightly protected from the unscrupulous persons that kept trying to tamper with it, with a NON P.O.V., biased version. Is indeed, the correct and most neutral non P.O.V. version I feel is possible. My EVIDENCE and points made in the supra postings only go to confirm this.
I reiterate I’m not trying to change the article, or make any new statements; I’m trying to preserve the article in its present, correct, non P.O.V. version. Which is now, quite rightfully under protection from opportunists, with heavy motive, to deform and corrupt the article to their own biased P.O.V. and exacting needs.
Please contact me, should you have any further questions. Thank you, Frater FiatLux 14:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

This has actually been a point of much discussion, and pages linked from the mian page, especially the featured article, remain unprotected with good reason. See the note in the protection policy: "When a page is particularly high profile, either because it is linked off the main page, or because it has recently received a prominent link from offsite, it will often become a target for vandalism. It is not appropriate to protect pages in this case. Instead, consider adding them to your watchlist, and reverting vandalism yourself." There's some insightful reasoning for this at User:Raul654/protection. Dmcdevit· t 00:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi, please take into consideration that copying interwikis is slightly more complex - when copying from en: to bg: (like in bg:Натриев хлорид) you should remove the Bulgarian name from the list, and add the English one instead. -- Goldie (tell me) 01:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello there. Concerning your mediation request at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-01-11 Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, I would recommend that you file a new request for mediation and link to the old case just for reference. That case was from February and it has since accumulated quite a bit of confusion discussion and has also been archived. Creating a new case request at The Mediation Cabal will provide a nice clean template for mediators to work with. Thanks. Cowman109 Talk 21:22, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

I gave him the wrong warning template but the plot he reverted to is actully violating the size. Therefore, Raditzu cut down the plot so it wouldn't violate it. Daniel5127 reverted and I warned him for reverting. I used Test2a but I'll change to Test2. And you just vandalized the page by reverting. Please reply on my talk page. Treebark 21:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Daniel5127 has a problem. He won't let anybody say he's vandalized pages which he has done multiple times in the past. He still shouldn't be removing messages. I spoke with him about this. Every time someone gives him a vandalisim warning he removes it. Every time I send him a message HE removes it. He does not understand Wikipedia that well, and should be blocked for a various number of things, such as violating rules, removing messages, vandalizing pages etc. When voting on a request for adminship he puts Support. He doesn't judge the editor, or look at there contribs account, nothing. He just supports them, if other people are supporting them. He puts "This user would make a great admin" all the time. When he opposes, it's because other people oppose. On Articles for deletion, he puts Delete, when it is actully a really good article, and puts per above or sometimes It reads like an advertisement. Many of the other editors don't think this and ask him why, never replies. I keep an eye on his contributions account, most of which are vandalisim reverts. He doesn't know how to use warning templates, using vandalisim for blanking, blanking for removing content etc. When on WP:AIV, he also doesn't know what he's doing. He asked for protection, when there hasn't been reverts in days, (previous to that there were tons) or when, there was on revert on the day he asked. He is uncivil to some editors. He doesn't read Wikipedia policies. (not to mention, he's violates the 3RR, about a dozen times, though no block yet) He thinks it is complicated when someone copy/pastes on a talkpage which is wrong. Users are just doing what they are supposed to do per Wikipedia policies. He demanded that another user copy/pasting messages on talkpages which was very uncivil. He has other problems, but I don't have time to go into them with you as I'm on a trip. You should watch his contributions and see what I mean. (they may stop) Please consider what I said. Thanks.

I've noticed that the Apple logo and the Spotlight thingy in the menubar are now slightly smaller. Has anyone else noticed this? -- M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 ( T | C | @) 00:42, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay, first thing, we have policies against original research. Something like this could only be included in the article if you had sources to back it up.
Second thing, on my Powerbook running 10.4.7, the icons look the same as they do in your old.png image. Where they almost touch the top and bottom of the menubar. Is there any chance you are or have used one of the themeing apps recently or perhaps messed around with the resolution independence thing in the developer tools?

I think your robot is falsely reinstating redirects such as the one for GE Electric. The GE page refers and links to a division of this name: a link to a redirect back to the refering page is clearly a problem. Either the page needs writing in which case write it or the page needs deleting and the red link fixing. In general reverting when people are trying to fix problems is bad form: please wrap it over the diodes. -- BozMo talk 20:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
