Hi. About the changes I made in the steampunk article. About the Arts et Métiers métro station in Paris Steampunk even if it exists ,is not a colloquial noun in french at all. You'll never find it in any sources. Indeed it's not clearly specified that it's a steampunk design. But it's written in the page and in others that the inspiration is industrial, mechanical, from Jules Verne, from de Fardier de Cugnot etc... etc... It's called "l'univers technique et industriel"
Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigil ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
I invite to discover that there is the word science in science fiction, so it's interesting to show some side of science not only fiction. it would be better to show more of science than more of fiction. because science is real. Do you have any consciouness that you hurt my work? madly and badly. -- Despres ( talk) 13:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
please make a fool of yourself and delete all the science in the science fiction page and keep only the fiction, the stuff you try to defend. fool. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Despres ( talk • contribs) 15:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
??? I haven't edited the Science fiction page to delete anything in ages. Spiritual SF? Yobmod ( talk) 09:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
can you proove that disruptive technology has no connection with science fiction? You dont know science fiction at all then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Despres ( talk • contribs) 09:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Disruptive technology is a term from real world economics. It has no special connection to SF. Yobmod ( talk) 10:04, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
proove it is negative, show where it is negative, give reference, we all know that science fiction is anticipation and that it is related to future technology and that disruptive technology is part of that, you wont won the battle over this with me, I am stronger and more beautiful than you. I cannot add a reference to the see also list, it is not part of the text but only links. You wont win the battle with me, you wont you wont you wont, I will calm down in front of this idiot, do you know the word anticipation, you dont know science fiction at all if not. this is why there is a link between disruptive technologies and science fiction. I cannot put a reference for a link in a see also section, common. You will lost your time on this page, count on me, because I wont allow you to touch my page. -- Despres ( talk) 10:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
You can make links between disruptive technologies which contain alot of future science and science fiction. Why do I need to explain to you all this? You dont know it? Please learn it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Despres ( talk • contribs) 10:15, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
You are not collaborative enough with me, trust me disruptive technologies is full of science fiction and will continue to have such, some disruptive technologies have never been invented yet. this is why it is fiction still today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Despres ( talk • contribs) 10:18, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Just keep removing the images and warning the uploaders. If the same account is repeatedly used, it will wind up blocked. If different accounts continue to upload the same copyvio, request that the page is semi-protected so that IPs and new users cannot edit it. You can do that here.

I have removed the {{ prod}} tag from Edisonade, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{ prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! - AdamBMorgan ( talk) 18:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, in regards to Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Mark of the Year, the Youtube video links have been removed. A re-review of the article would be invaluable. Thanks in advance -- Flewis (talk) 03:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Why are you undoing changes without verifying facts?
Could you revisit this nomination on which you opposed please? The nominator seems to have addressed your issues. Cheers, Dabomb87 ( talk) 02:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
I noted that you removed most of the article for these two reasons:"not even the defiition is cited, and gives no examples of the words use". If you feel that the definition needs to be cited (and I am not arguing this point) you place a request for a citation but you do not have to destroy the article , or - even better - you could look for it (and why did you single out this article when this problem seems to be present in other "-cide" articles??) The use of the word was cited in the article but you removed it, and it has been restored. Ekem ( talk) 14:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Do you have access to Kleiner, Fred S. and Mamiya, Christin J. (2005) . Gardner's Art Through the Ages, 12th edition, Wadsworth Publishing, page 980? If so, can you quote the relevant section so that we can see if it verifies the text? If not, it is not assuming good faith to remove a reference that another editor (not I) asserted verified the text. Regards, Skomorokh 17:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I was reviewing Save Our Children for Good Article Status, but the review has since stalled since I asked for a second opinion. I have noticed you are particularly active reviewing WP:LGBT articles and was wondering if you could help out. \ / ( ⁂) 09:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for you help with editing the Art section in Nihilism. I agree with you! It looks list-ish... I left some comments on the talk page, thank you so much. LombrizFeliz ( talk) 07:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Quatermass book.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Hi. Could I get a clue as to what's going on with the Laurell K. Hamilton discussion page? It was at one point 53K, and now it's been edited down to 1.3 K. Perhaps a little too much has been archived? Now, it's so brief, a "newbie" to the discussion might assume that not much has been said here. Thoughts about this?

And the edit summaries continue to be ponty and unincivil: "Once upon a time this article had all these things with no complaints, then Yobmod fucked it all up, well now I'm fucking it the way it was used to be". "I'm pulling a Yobmod, when most of the previous users agreed to one format, he insisted on changing it back and wouldn't slide". Yobmod ( talk) 08:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
I can't say I am surprised at that news. It was probably inevitable. - Mark 15:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
An article that you have been involved in editing, List of Christina Aguilera B-sides and unreleased songs, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Christina Aguilera B-sides and unreleased songs (2nd nomination). Thank you. Rogerb67 ( talk) 23:37, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, I started going through my books and encyclopedias about SF - but you will not like the list, as it lists some of it MSF that I personally would not... but we have references, if this is any criteria. I have most of it in an electronic form, so you can check them out and I have a second opinion... Cheers, -- Gego ( talk) 20:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey, could you comment on the last section of the talk:List of science fiction themes, even if just to agree/disagree with my analysis. Every move i make to sort this list (so i can start adding more citations) gets reverted to a very old badly formatted version, which is the same problem the article had when you semi-protected it (the IP user at least started using his account again, but still will not discuss). With only me working on it, i'd like to form a consensus at least on the way forward, so i point out this consensus when my improvments get removed.
Any request to admins is replied to with "discuss any changes", which is pretty difficult as the only opposing viewpoint is from a "retired" editor who will not discuss, and deletes msges to his talk page. Thanks for any input you can give, even if only to disagree with me :-). Yobmod ( talk) 14:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi Yobmod. Thanks for commenting on my talk page :)
Re that page: Does look like it will be kept.
There aren't any reliable sources for "Not widely used..." words, of course. Linguists aren't stupid :D
There are sources for regional variation, but heaven knows how the page will be maintained.
I think with a proviso, but I can't think of a non-silly one, given the page name.
eg "There is no evidence that any of these words are not used by British speakers, nor that they are not now widely used."
Anyway, cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddawkins73 ( talk • contribs) 13:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate your comments and cooperation in the Steampunk thread. I realize that some of the young overzealous fans in Dr. Steel's fan club have rather "poisoned the well" over here and prejudiced most of the mods toward having any mention of him anywhere within your wiki, with their "Operation Wikipedia"; I understand there are a lot of fires to put out.
I am not one of those sorts of people. While I am a fan of his music and creative talent, I am not some kiddie or /b/tard. I am a 48 year old professional gentleman in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and as a professional musician, I am also a colleague and peer and merely wish to see that he gets the credit he is due, without being negatively slanted and prejudice by the more fanatical of his fan base (although that's where the word "fan" comes from, isn't it?). Which is why I got a bit irked at the disappearance of his name at a place where I believed he should rightfully appear.
There has been a bit of a sea change among Dr. Steel's fan base in recent months. There are a lot of new, older, "cooler heads" like myself, who are attempting to reign in some of the /b/tard-style behavior of the past (for which I personally apologize). Older professionals and business[wo]men, and musical peers, who just happen to enjoy his music and his humor. Please note that "Operation Wikipedia" has been suspended for quite some time now, and the fan base has been instructed for the most part to leave Wikipedia alone (so most postings on here have been from kiddies that don't pay attention to their elders, haha). In the mean time, the more adult, professional fan base hopes to foster better relations and cooperation in the future and hope to let cooler heads prevail.
And hopefully get the well-researched and annotated version of the Dr. Steel entry (not the "viral marketing" version; as a fellow web content editor I don't blame you for striking that one) reinstated sometime in the future.
Thanks for your understanding; hopefully we can work together better in the future. And feel free to share this personal note with the other moderators.

I agree with you regarding the list. Will you give me some time so that i can figure out a list? I can develop it in user page and themn move it. Please reply back. "Legolas" ( talk) 11:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
