I am new and I am not sure where to respond to your comment that was posted on my talk page. Please advise. I have read the policies and still think that I am compatible, while other text is not compatible with these same policies. I am eager to discuss that. -- Book-worm 09:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
The reason I put MAD #1 on the left is because of a basic design principle: The characters in Kurtzman's cover are looking to the right. If they had been looking to the left, I would have placed the picture on the right.
This is similar to the way an actor on stage opens out to the audience with the upstage foot placed slightly forward and body angled rather than pure profile.
Notice how this Jack Davis layout was planned: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Davis_%28cartoonist%29 The first paragraphs of the story have been smoothly integrated with the illustration, and all four figures on the right look to the left and toward the blocks of copy.

Re multiple animal births, sorry it annoyed you enough to need a cleanup noice. Actually you managed to put it there just seconds after I created the article itself... Getting there :) If you're interested in the topic, help would be most welcome. Cheers Donama 06:31, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
My interesting facts section was not notable enough? Surely you are just being prodigiously anal to remove such a sentimental fact
You put a cleanup tag on this article, but I'm not sure what exactly it is you'd like changed. Was the cyclical example too confusing? I looked through the style guidelines and nothing popped out as wrong. You also didn't list a reason under the cleanup lists. I'd certainly like to make this article better, but first I'd like to know what's wrong with it. Reisen 07:28, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Does that mean that all Aussie rules "computer games" can be classed under video games as well? If so, perhaps there should be a name change from computer games to video games. By the way, good article. Rogerthat 01:28, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Let me welcome you to WikiProject AFL. Hopefully we can sort out some of the disputes happening with regards to NPOV and more importantly expand the footy on this site by the time the season kicks off. R o gerthat Talk 00:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I have put up the reasons I think the article should be merged on the talk page, but if anyone wants to oppose it, it will be majority rules.-- Zxcvbnm 22:59, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words. It is just a basic article in each case but hopefully it means that people are not reinventing the wheel each time CommGood 15:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I couldn't care less about the ordering of the page.
On the other hand, you are also condoning the removal of every single detail about the Opening Ceremony from the main page for the Commonwealth Games,as though it has no value. I feel that such wholesale removal of information is excessive.
There is a separate page for the Opening Ceremony for the 2004 Olympic Games, but there is also some detail about the Opening Ceremony given in the main article for the 2004 Olympic Games.
Why should there not be, in a similar fashion, some details about the Opening Ceremony on the main page for the 2006 Commonwealth Games? Figaro 17:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
If you zoom in on the flash file that opens when you view the 'Interactive Scoreboard' (I think that is what it is called, you can get a high resolution image of a team's logo. Cut out the background, put it into Inkscape, trace it & save it. The current PNG logos are good enough to trace into high quality SVG images (Click 'High Resolution Version' on the image page.) ~ Trisreed my talk my contribs 01:38, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Check out Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Working, which also displays at teh bottom of the main CFD page. We are quite backlogged in the actual work of the renaming. We used to have a bot to do the grunt work of renames, but it died a month or so ago. So for now, the renames have to be done manually. The tedious part is moving all the members from the old name to the new name. - TexasAndroid 15:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Remy B/Archive 1, thank you for your interest in VandalProof and Congratulations! You are now one of our authorized users, so if you haven't already simply download VandalProof from our main page, install and you're ready to go!
If you have any problems please feel free to contact me or post a message on VandalProof's talk page. Once again congrats and welcome to our team! - Gl e n T C (Stollery) 20:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Please read WP:FU. Fair use images are not allowed on templates, or for decorative purposes. For sports logos, this means the only use should be on the article discussing the team, or the history of the team, where the badge is discussed. Thanks, ed g2s • talk 10:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
G'day Remy,
thanks for your query. Basically, I removed the tag because, even if we accept for the sake of argument that the restaurant is non-notable and the article is there as an advertisement, that is not sufficient for it to be speedy deleted out of hand. The speedy deletion criteria exist to enable us to get rid of obvious crap rather than having to follow the AfD process. However, an article like Bibas Greek Pizza really needs more people to look at it and argue over it than you and I; the article is not a bad one, and it certainly doesn't meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. As for my edit summary, in essence: whether the restaurant is notable or not is irrelevant to whether I should delete it or remove the tag; and the article does not, in my view, read like an advertisement. Its tone could do with a minor touchup but, if it was written by someone with an interest in promoting the restaurant, then the author took great pains to ensure he stayed within Wikipedia guidelines as he did so. Cheers, fuddlemark ( fuddle me!) 09:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I went ahead and deleted this as it appears to be a spelling error. Let me know if there is any cleanup that needs to be done, thanks :). It is as it always was T | @ | C 07:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey Remy B, just a friendly hello! Do you know exactly which game first implemented the so-called "locational damage"? Was it Half-Life? I think it's a pretty significant development and am considering adding a small section about it under FPS (if it hasn't already.) Nice to meet ya. ~ Flooch 09:04, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
In regards to the article HDRI Image Format Comparison, which you proposed for deletion, I have marked the article for speedy deletion, as I feel that the article meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion. In cases where it applies, speedy deletion is preferable to proposed deletion. I have left the {{ prod}} tag in place, so that if speedy deletion is rejected, your proposed deletion will remain in place. Thanks! Mango juice talk 12:41, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I deleted this page as I saw it had exactly the same content as the Swans entry at List of celebrity supporters of AFL clubs. The fact that no other team had such a (needless double of a) page suggested that a simple redirect or merge was needed. Given only Sydney Swans linked to the page, I just changed the link accordingly and deleted. Hopefully there should be no reason to debate the need for two copies of identical content on Wikipedia.

The following message was found posted on User talk:Rem120 and was moved here as a public service.---- Russ Blau (talk) 15:42, 7 June 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) 02:59, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I personally agree with the two criticisms I posted of the book, which are merely reitarations of Marvin Minsky's arguments against The Emperor's New Mind. Penrose's assumption that the internal represational structure of consciousness comprises a formal logic system is false. I'm a strong believer in computational theories of consciousness, such as the theory Minsky advocates in The Society of Mind, or Dennett advocates in Consciousness Explained. I'd like help expanding the article though. I think a more detailed synopsis of Penrose's arguments is needed, along with a synopsis of the linked criticisms. Tarcieri 08:46, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I am not Philip Dorell. I stuck his GFDL text into the article. It just restates Penrose's original argument and offers criticsm. I'm not smart enough to restate the other criticsms for the article, but figured there should be some in there Joegoodbud 11:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I responded to your comment here. I apologise, as it was a genuine accident - vandalising an article which is one of my major editing projects at the moment isn't something that makes much sense. Sorry again.
While I'm here, I noticed you had those awesome-looking progress bars on your page - how did you do that? I tried, once, and failed miserable. Is there, like, a tutorial about it?
Oh, and sorry again for the mistaken article edit. Cheers, Daniel . Bryant 11:04, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I did not put my book review in the small article, because we strive for consensus and I know that there are editors that disagree with me. I just suggested a start to a more detailed discussion of the book. I do not think discussion of the topic is irrelevant, because his lack of understanding of Schrödinger's 1935 Schrödinger's Cat article appears to me to be, after the beautiful treatment of mathematics and of why most people don't like mathematics, one of the prominent features of the book. As I tried to indicate, I tried to invite responses from the author. Since he is retired, I was not surprised not to receive a response. So I re-edited my comments and posted them, in the hope that they will contribute to a review that may not only help people to decide whether to take the effort (which in some cases may be very considerable) to read the book, but that will tell them how the book fits into the general understanding of the subjects it covers.
In this context, it is clearly relevant to discuss the subject. The EPR paradox is based on only three things: QM; classical physics; and intuition and the Copenhagen interpretation. Of these, only intuition and the Copenhagen interpretation are not stated in clear mathematics. Penrose is aware that the former two are local in nature. So the apparent non-locality (action at a distance) clearly comes from intuition and the Copenhagen Interpretation. But he did not say that in his book. My only possible conclusion is that, being an old mathematician, he learned QM too late to ever accept it as part of his perception of reality. In my opinion, young people need to be told, at least, that there is a commonly held belief that QM is reality. If they don't hear it now they will be like Einstein and Penrose who never got the real point. I realize that I underplayed what a good book it is. Particularly, I like the discussion of the importance of complex numbers. The introduction to field theory and general relativity are inspired. Again because what I put on the discussion page was not balanced, I have put it in the discussion only. David R. Ingham 05:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
No, I don't get it. This is potential material for the article that I have not put into the article because it is one-sided and needs others views to balance it. David R. Ingham 15:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey I'm sorry I hope you don't think I have anything against Battlefield 2 (personally I love playing the game myself). I just feel that each map shouldn't have it's own article. I will gladly withdraw my delete vote for List of maps in Battlefield 2 article as long as you allow the pages on each map be deleted. I hope you don't take this personally I'd love to play against you and such but please just let the map articles die.-- M8v2 04:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
well since this topic has already been created.... while i agree that whoever used "game-guide" was doing so a little liberally, most of the articles you posted have little worth as seperate from
List of maps in Battlefield 2. Generally, entries within lists (particularly lists of fiction) remain until there is so much info contained within that section that it becomes distracting from the article as a whole. For example compare
List of Pokémon items and
Poké Ball. These map articles only contain a little more useful info than their counterpats on the main list page, and there is no reason why that encyclopedic info couldn't just be added to the entries. You could even create a table to easily add the images and for easier comparison of things like terrain. -

As i can see you have received personal attacks from Argent009 on his talk page - and i have issued him with quite a strong warning aswell as the one you issued him. If he personally attacks you again follow the instructions on Wikipedia:Personal attack intervention noticeboard and report him. This will block him from wikipedia.

Hi Remy. I've left another message on the user's talk page, with more explanation, and directing him to discussion and some relevant links. I don't think there's much more to do unless he keeps going. Hope that helps, JPD ( talk) 14:25, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
The fact that you have removed the club template from the Geelong FC page has angered me somewhat. My ultimate goal is to achive featured atrticle status for the GFC page and I've been following the exaples of Chelsea FC (which has a club info box), Sydney Roosters and Central Coast Mariners pages to achive this. These pages all follow similar layouts and have lists of past coaches and players to go along with the main article. If you have a problem with the seasons each club has played in, remove it from the template, don't remove the template. Now because you removed the Geelong template there is no longer a direct link to other Geelong FC related pages like for instance, List of Geelong Football Club coaches and Geelong Cats 2007 Season. Links like these are needed to achive FA class status. So is there any other reason(s) (apart from the VFL/AFL seasons) why you removed all the templates? Sge 05:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Not sure how I deleted that huge chunk. Oops :P Remy B 13:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I think the "current event" tag referred to the earthquake which happened 2 days ago. I'm not sure whether it should be placed at the top of the article, though. -- Targeman 13:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
I suppose I could have wasted my time deciphering your mistakes. Perhaps someone should be more careful next time. Anakus 12:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the message you left on my talk page. I think you're right, I will post it on the 2007 AFL season talk page to see what other people think. I was following the same as the NRL 2007 season article. Times1 12:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Can you please explain why you removed these. Every other sports team in the world has these flags. So why have you removed them on the AFL articles ? -- Spewmaster 02:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
