Still a few hours left, but I want to be the first one to welcome our Lord into the world of the administrator. Firstly, you must get drunk on that glass of champagne, which oddly has been consumed a few hundred times on this very page. _-M ^o P-_ 05:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Congrats too, I'd give you a peice of cake but it turned into a Cake for Deletion vote which I think you'd rather avoid (50 million new messages prompts :o) -- Tawker 06:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to add a Congrats as well. — nathanrdotcom ^{(T • C • W)} 11:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

		In recognition of the incredible number of thankless tasks you've already completed, and the many more to come now that you've been "mopped", I, Xoloz, award you, Lord Voldemort the Gentle, this Working Man's Barnstar. Xoloz 18:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Adminship

Congratulations!
It is my great pleasure to inform you that your Request for Adminship has closed successfully and you are now an administrator! Useful Links: • Administrators' reading list • Administrators' how-to guide • • Administrator's Noticeboard • Administrator's Noticeboard for Incidents • Administrator's Noticeboard for 3RR • Your admin logs: • blocks • deletions • moves • protects • uploads •

If you have questions, feel free to leave a talk page message for me or any other admin. Again, congratulations! Essjay (Talk • Connect) 18:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC) (First time I use this new template, and it breaks! Essjay (Talk • Connect) 18:49, 25 April 2006 (UTC))

Many congratulations, you'll make a great admin. All the best, Gwernol 19:04, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

The links to your logs must be broken. I checked these logs: • blocks • deletions • protects, and they're empty. hmmm... ;-). NoSeptember ^talk 19:14, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I'll block, delete and protect you. Aaah, the good old days when my dad would make any word a verb... "Daddy Voldemort, can I have a cookie?" "I'll cookie you!". Memories... ;-) Thanks to all who voted. I'll be sure to cause as much evil as possible. You know, to vandals and socks. Thanks again! --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 19:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

So your first action as an admin is to threaten someone with an unjustified block. Well, well, well, you will fit in just fine as a rouge admin ;-). NoSeptember ^talk 13:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, congrats. I didn't realize that you had just become an admin when you posted to my talk page. Please let me know if there are any other questions, or little quirks that I can help you out with. Have fun with your new mop and bucket. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 02:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

I have reverted a recent edit you made to the article Lewis and Clark Expedition. You did not provide an edit summary, and I could not determine whether the edit was vandalism or a constructive contribution. In the future, please use edit summaries. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Primate^#101 00:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, LV, but I accidently clicked the "revert" button in [[VandalProof]. My apologies.

I have been working in that direction. If I'm not there yet, I think I'm pretty darned close. Thanks for thinking about it. :) RadioKirk talk to me 00:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Edit: after some thought, I should come right out and say it: I haven't nominated myself because I think that's tacky. If, however, you do, I will accept. :) RadioKirk talk to me 13:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the nom! I'll go there and do the accept-and-answer-the-questions-thing a little later. :) RadioKirk talk to me 00:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

What you wrote was and is yours—and, my thanks :) RadioKirk talk to me 00:44, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] it is not vandalism

the edits i made was previously made by other users and the information i posted is totally legitimate if you watch the NBA--User:Freestyle.king

[edit] A favor please

Hello friend, do you remember me? In the month of September 2005, your vote had made me an administrator. we all know that the life here is exciting and full of challenges. I would request you to please spare fem moments for me, and favor me with your comments and suggestions (here please) on my performance as a wikipedian. Let us continue to build the Better than the Best global encyclopedia. Thank you and regards. --Bhadani 10:05, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renting Top Space

So what do I have to do to rent that space at the top of your user page? :-) --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 01:46, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm quite keen on helping eliminate weak spots in Wikipedia's coverage, so, if you wanted to, if you could work on any third-world topic of your choice for an hour, then you can have it say whatever you like (within reason!) for, ooh, I dunno, three weeks? ;-) — Matt Crypto 19:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hey from thewolfstar

Hey Lord Voldemort, I never came back here and thanked you for calming me down and being nice to me the first time they locked me up. This is the first place I should have gone when they set me free. You are one of the very coolest and most considerate people I have come across while here at Wiki Wonderland. You should get a medal for that.

Also, I would like to ask you a favor. There is a user named Kaspersky Trust who has apparently been blocked for a while for no reason other than no one will help him out. It looks like he may be caught in an auto block. I don't know for sure what is going on but it just seems like something isn't right. Can you tell me how I can help him? Or can you help him? Please let me know what you think.

Thanks a million. Maggiethewolfstar 07:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Congrats on the promotion! Just saw the news on the signpost. FrankB 14:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Hello, Lord Voldemort/Archive 5, and thank you for vote on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 62/2/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. As I acclimate myself to my new tools, feel free to let me know how you believe I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! RadioKirk talk to me 05:14, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Danger! Freakout Bar filling!

Isn't it weird how some people have nothing better to do than leave messages on other peoples' Talk pages just out of boredom or to see if it elicits a response? Jive Monk 09:02, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Better late than never

Fantastic, so now you are an administrator! I would have come earlier, but could not on account of my sickness from 3rd April to 24th April 2006 resulting into my wiki-absence. I convey my congratulations to you on your elevation as an administrator, and wish you all the best! Have you ever seen me around? I am just curious! --Bhadani 15:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed... Celestianpower, JoanneB, Titoxd, Pschemp and Freakofnurture 20:29, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Really, I swear...

I had no idea that you were unaware of my vow of admin-abstinence until you wrote me saying you might "want help learning the buttons" -- I felt awful, but there was NO WAY I was letting the cat out of the bag then, since you would have turned the tables on me, and I'd have had no choice but to accept. Really, until Splash took his wikibreak (24 April), and DRV developed a three-week backlog (earlier this week), I had never been tempted to abandon my longtime stance as friendly "lackey to the admins" and nothing more; I'm still going to consider myself only that, no matter what happens at the RfA.

If it makes you feel any better, I was thinking of you when I surrendered to Encephalon's request for the nomination: it felt hypocritical to have forced you into service, and then to send him away. So, even if you weren't aware of it, your spirit has been goading me on through this whole process! :)

In one sense, we can agree "all's well that ends well": no matter what, you will always be a more senior administrator than I, which is as it should be, both on the basis of merit, and on the theory that your Oct. 2005 RfA should have succeeded in the first place. 'Twas guilt over that, as well as WP's best interest, that led me to urge you persistently. :) Your appreciative lackey, Xoloz 03:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you so much

Hi LV. Thank you so much for your words of support over at Meta. Hey, you know you're on my list too, but that's a good one to be on ;) I just thought it'd be a bit of an overkill to list all the people that could vouch for me there (maybe even seven was too much...), not to mention that it's a drag bothering people with stuff that is not even related to the project per se — I'm hoping they won't feel the need to check with everybody I did list, since I feel I'm, well, imposing a little. Which is all the more reason for me to thank you yet again for taking the time to write your kind words of support there. Thanks again! Cheers, Redux 05:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skipping redirects

Hello He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. :o) I was just curious why you were skipping redirects to MythBusters in userspace. Is this in preparation for something else occupying that article space, or is just for the sake of skipping redirects? If it's the latter, you might be interested in Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't_fix_links_to_redirects_that_aren't_broken. Thanks, let me know what's going on. Talk to you soon! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 21:57, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. No problems; as you said, the correct title is with the capital B, and should show up as such, at least in article-space. Feel free to use Avada Kedavra on those lowercase b's. Happy hunting! :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 22:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

(googling a little, hey, why does this take me to sl.wikipedia.org?) A-ha. Well, Mrlakenstein, Mannerist Elk, whatever. Thanks for offering to take a task off my hands. I was momentarily tempted to give you some horrible complicated thing off m:OTRS, but decided to spare you. Having the Dark Lord doing my bidding has a certain appeal, no doubt, but it's better for me to do my own dirty work! Cheers, FreplySpang (talk) 17:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Now you've got me giggling everytime I see your Dark Mark on a talk page. Um, giggling in dread and respect, of course. Here's a favor you could do for me: Put Irving Layton on your watchlist.

[edit] Note and Answer

Thanks for deleting it. I decided that I prefer not to smirk at people when they see my user page. Not polite, and all. Plus, I like the current image better, and without being on my userpage, the image was orphaned. —Cuiviénen^T|C, Monday, 15 May 2006 @ 20:42 UTC

[edit] Quick Question

I apologize in advance because I'm sure this is an unbelievably stupid question, but please, pardon my ignorance. I have a website organization that I created and I was interested in making a Wikipedia article for it. I know that there are rules against articles about one's self, but I wasn't sure if this met those criteria. Thank you very much and God Bless, Demosthenes 1 01:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! See you around, I guess. Demosthenes 1

[edit] Thanks so much, Mark (?)

Thanks LV,

First, I must express my appreciation that you didn't kill me once you discovered that I exerted all that pressure on you whilst a mere user myself. :) Second, I must ask about your new signature: Thanks to your literary namesake's habit, I had assumed it was an anagram for something (after "Tom Mavolo Riddle), but I can't make sense of it. Is it, by chance, your human/mortal name?

And lastly, I must thank you for the way-too-kind at my RfA; I'm afraid you far outshine me in your "awesomeness," so much of what you said is better described as a sort of "autobiography by transference." ;) Still, I was deeply touched to have such praise from you, nominally the King of Evil. (Your secret, that you are really sweeter than a Gummi Bear, is safe with me!) I'm sure I'll be asking you for help with the buttons now. :) Our wiki-fates seem intertwined, so I trust we'll be seeing much more of each other. Fate has also decreed (by eleven votes, plus your overall brilliance) that you are forever my superior :), so you can expect to see me dawdling about your feet, asking if any menial wiki-labor needs doing.

I have merged Adam Malkovich with Metroid Fusion, since there was a merge tag. I propose that Adam Malkovich be deleted ASAP because the content has been merged with the Metroid Fusion article.

[edit] Ann Coulter

Appeared to be a subtle change. Will keep an eye on things like that. Thanks for the heads up. Rsm99833 23:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

One thing I just did notice- because it's a British television show, shouldn't it be capitalized? Rsm99833 23:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi there

But it was accurate. And accuracy is what we seek. Metrocat 18:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

First, you're kidding about the rules. That was a joke right? Second, pretending to be a person's friend while you stick them in the back, is considered a pretty serious offense in most circles. And did you say "Dispute Resolution"? Say it again, I'm not sure if I heard you or not.

Don't call me 'friend'. Metrocat 19:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Uh, yes, hmmmm. Oh, by the way, Old Chap, or young as the case may be, what exactly is a Voldemort? Cheerio! Metrocat 13:27, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Some of my favorite books are children's books although I'm only a child at heart. I was still reading 'Charlotte's Web' when I was 27 years old, and would now if I had the time. 'Alice in Wonderland' is another one of my favorites. Thanks. Metrocat 14:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lordy

Yah, I'm not sure what I did there to your Rfa...but of course I support you...I hope I did vote support earlier...I've been somewhat reduced in the amount of time I have online this past week, so I was a bit rusty. Best wishes!--MONGO 03:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Most awesome edit ever!

You know, I was expecting somebody to do it, and I'm flattered that it was you (maybe watching me closely...); but, the edit summary raised the bar from merely "adorable" (which I've come to expect from the human gummi-bear that is Lord Voldemort) to the "sublimely hilarious!" I'm just glad I caught it in the history! Hugs and kisses, Xoloz 15:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sigs

The more I think about it, the more I see your point of view. I'm think I'm just a tad slow and have been confused by the sideways arrow icon not realizing what it means for a second. But you're right, if it were that big of a deal to me, I probably could have just changed it. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 22:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Wow I never thought of it like that before... you're right the point isn't to try to make wikipedia a better place the point is to make it a better encyclopedia, and we shouldn't be spending our valuable time fighting with other users over stuff that doesn't involve making the wikipedia a better encyclopedia, we should be spending our time agruing about making articles better.

[edit] Greetings from the "Cat"

Yes, greetings Lord Voldemort! The Wiki experience has been a great travel. I just wish someone would come out with WIKI Editing for Windows to simplify all these tasks of editing and tracking work, etc. I would buy the software it if it was reasonable. And BTW, what is a "Dark Mark"? Been here a while and I still don't know what that is for. Enjoy your Day (and night too) ! JungleCat 22:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Well there is vandalfighting software for Wikipedia (WP:AWB, Wikipedia:VandalProof), that's the closest you'll find to that.

[edit] how does stuff like this ever even make it to article status?

2004 U.S. presidential election controversy and irregularities

Not to be picky, but ...wouldn't something with controvery in the title constitute a non-encyclopedic article, especially if it could fit into other main articles about the election and such?

[edit] User:Haizum

I feel you have erred, and grossly. I am in stunned disbelief that this user's block has been lifted. How are his actions not in gross and complete violation of WikiPolicy? I am truly flabbergasted. He has said over and over again that he will "tone things down," and then he turns around and continues. I do not find this commont, as he posted on my talk page, to be sarcastic:

"Wait, maybe if I get a custom flag and domain name it will be considered completely legitimate!"

That, to me, is a deliberate and calculated, crass, vile attack on a sub-community of the gay-community that this user obviously has a distaste for. I hate to feel like I'm presuming, but actions speak louder than words, and his actions indicate such. How can we expect this user to respect articles if he has no respect for the factual and pertinent content therein? That comment was not just sarcastic, it was cruel, and it was meant as a deliberate trivialization of the Bear Community and their flag. I get the insinuation - that a flag and a website to not legitimize something. But I just don't understand how this continued disrespect for others can be tolerated on wikipedia! Pacian 06:48, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

No, the quote above is more a criticism of Wikipedia in general, that is, it doesn't seem to take much to get an article included. Haizum 06:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I want to also say, I agree with you, that fighting gets us nowhere. I have been trying to maintain an extremely level head throughout this conflict. But there is absolutely no way I am backing down until the ultimate word has been reached on the matter. I cannot sit idley by while a user is allowed to mow down others, repeatedly, with constant warnings by those in authority, only to retreat and then resurface. I, and the other users of wikipedia, who do our best to be kind to others, deserve better. Pacian 06:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Level head? Please, you called me 'ignorant' in a number of ways on my talk page regarding a debate that I backed away from some time ago. If you didn't so that, we wouldn't be where we are right now. Haizum 06:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

LV, I'm sorry about this clutter on your talk page. You can delete my comments at any time. Haizum 06:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Calling you ignorant was strong words that I stand by. You have yet to express an understanding as to what the Bear Community is, why it is historically important, and why the articel deserves to exist. And you never expressed your opinion. Saying "This is a vanity entry" is not an opinion, it's a statement of fact. One which you followed up by saying "You can't have a new entry for every time a gay man starts to look different." That statement indicates that you believe that we intend to create a new article every time there is a new trend in body types within the gay community, which has nothing to do with the Bear Community in the slightest. Now you are tossing out straw man arguments to back up your initial statements, and to try and make me look bad. I continue to accuse you of intentionally attacking the article, and other users, and I gave you every opportunity to explain yourself in my original post on your talk page. I wanted to understand your reasoning, even if I apparently didn't phrase things in the best way. You provided none, you just attacked me. How am I supposed to assume good faith now? Pacian 07:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

My claim that the Bear Community was/is a vanity entry is an opinion, if it was/is a fact, it wouldn't be allowed to exist as an article per Wikipedia policy. Of course none of this matters because I'm not involved in the discussion anymore, nor do I intend to be. The "Bear" Community article has won, Haizum has lost. Haizum 07:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

You don't have to AGF with me, I don't mind. The contextual definition of AGF has to do with editing, meaning, one ought AGF with a person's edits before reverting them on the basis of POV, etc. Plenty of editors get this confused. Haizum 07:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Pacian was right, you just didn't deserve to be blocked for it. --kizzle 08:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, sort of. Haizum does need to learn to play with others better, but Pacian was bringing up stuff from like a month ago. And bringing it up with some harsh words. I would expect a little roughness back if I said some of the things that Pacian said to Haizum. But in the end, Haizum did not deserve to be blocked. Hopefully everyone can take a little away from this situation. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 14:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Read the comments on the Bear community page by Haizum for context, Pacian's comments from hurt were not constructed in a vacumn. If we are to explain Haizum "a little roughness" in return due to harsh words, than Pacian must be allowed the same privilege. However, blocking someone for asking about a contrib list is just plain wrong. But thanks for keeping heads cool on all sides LV :) --kizzle 04:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but a month had gone by, so it may have been a bit of a surprise for Haizum to get those comments. But oh well, I hope everything has blown over by now. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 13:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coulter Bibliography

Lord -- I didn't find anything about Bibliography in Talk. I think that in general, bibliographies belong at the end, just where the previous editor put them. But then bibliographies are usually lists of sources for an article, not lists of the author's works. The list of her work should probably be high up in the article, but maybe the name "Bibliography" isn't exactly right. The subject maybe merits some Talk, but once again, I didn't find any. Lou Sander 15:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ==Rjensen==

I thought it was a rather weasely way to change some possibly importtant parts of the article - succeedecd>failed and such changes are tiny words but they can make a big difference in the right place. I won't re-revert if you see fit to leave it in. HawkerTyphoon 19:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I didn't think people would be lining up to know who I was, but I just like to offer. By the way, how did you find out who I was?

Actually, you might need to wait a few hours before the admins get to it. But look at my old accounds user page to discover my beautiful plan. The timebomb is ticking!

[edit] glad you stopped by

The only actual thing being debated here is the credibility of the cited sources. I would like to shape this entire article up, condense the huge number of "advertising" type associated articles, most of which sit now in AfD debates and most of which have been decided by those debates to either be merged with this article and/or the "main" article, or to be deleted. Just now, about maybe an hour or so ago, I found a court listing that is NOT mnentioned here, either, and which DOES clear up a lot of questions. Most of cited sources are all one big publishing group and I don't mind telling the story here, factually, from an NPOV, but I don't want this article to be marketing the book as a product. There is a big difference. Hope this helps and here is link Talk:Authorship_of_A_Course_in_Miracles#Uhhh... Ste4k 04:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

No offense, but don't really care. I just didn't get the whole "ACIM is POV" thing. I'll make another note on the apposite talk page. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 04:40, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Archiving Ann Coulter talk page

Thanks for doing it. The talk page sure seemed awfully long, but I'm not yet very aware about how and when Wikipedia stuff gets archived, so I didn't say anything.

I've seen several mentions about a long and finally resolved debate about quotations being included in the Ann Coulter article. I think it would be a wonderful thing to have a record of that debate and its consensus available on the current talk page. But I don't know much more about it than what I've said here. I observe that people like to post her outrageous quotes, especially if they can be grouped to show her as a racist/sexist/homophobe. I also observe that although she is primarily notable for her acerbic criticisms of liberals and Democrats, there's not much posting/grouping of quotes on those subjects. Maybe the discussion referred to here would help us understand these things better. Lou Sander 16:54, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info on my talk page. I'll look for the Quotes discussion in the huge and ever-growing archive. If I can't find it, I might ask for help. Lou Sander 17:31, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I see the "To Do" list, and I like it, especially the POV and peer review parts. But I don't know what to do about it, other than see it as a rational and desirable list. Can you help?

Full disclosure: As a very experienced professional writer, and as a teacher of logic and critical thinking at the college level, I know a point of view when I see it. I also have a large vocabulary of words to describe points of view and their manifestations, including specialist words in English, Latin and Greek (almost no further knowledge in the latter two languages, though). I have a LOT of confidence in my ability ruthlessly to eliminate my own points of view from my own work. When that ability fails, I appreciate being told about it.

More full disclosure: I HAVE a point of view about Ann Coulter, and I try hard to exclude it from my edits and comments. I SEE quite a bit of anti-Coulter point of view in the article and its edits, and when I see it, I sometimes speak out against its more egregious manifestations. I DO NOT see much pro-Coulter point of view in the article, but when it's in there, I'm in favor of removing it. I DO NOT think that being civil or fair to Ann, or in calling for others to do so, or in pointing out their bias/point of view, is expressing a point of view about her. I DO think that she deserves fairness and civility, just as we all do. I also think that the Ann Coulter article should be about Ann Coulter, and not about the views of her critics. Those views have a place, but it is a muted and very subsidiary place. Mostly it is in references that present those views, rather than in an encyclopedia article about Ann Coulter. Lou Sander 19:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Lost the South for a Generation"

Maybe Johnson's "Lost the South for a genreration: quote is apocryphal, but I think it belongs in the Civil Rights Act or 1964 and the Democratic Party articles, especially if it's prefaced by "Legend has it" or something like that. rjensen has a political agenda.

It was just an honest warm-hearted thing to say. Your saying it took courage. I don't know if I am a Xed sympathiser because I don't know Xed. I am a strong supporter of integrity, honor, courage, and justice.

When I think of someone with the wisdom and the esteem to manage closing it cleanly, I think of you. :) I understand if you don't want to step into a pile of poo, but I thought I'd ask. Wiki-Love, Xoloz 17:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

The only thing I know of from AN/I is the criticism of me that arose from a previous DRV on a WP:ASR matter, Be Bold and be bold. This resulted in my first received wiki-death threat ;) (sorta.) That explains why I am not closing this one, but is otherwise irrelevant, I think. Of course, there may have been something else that I missed, since I've avoided AN/I after that incident.

[edit] DYK carelessness

Yeah, sorry LV, I just assumed that Ghirlandajo would have weeded out the stubs before I got there (the Zigong museum one was a stub and actually wasn't expanded from a stub in the last 5 days), so I 'm sorry about that one. In the diff you showed me, I also picked Louis Wagner without checking because I thought someone would have already complained about it not having sources, so if you look two diffs later, I removed the Wagner one and replaced it with woundfin. I guess on the bright side it shows my confidence in the other veterans of WP, but I should be more cautious in future. I've done it three times before I think...Thanks for keeping me alert, Blnguyen | rant-line 00:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC).

Yeah, I forgot to remove this notice. Thank you for fixing stuff despite it being there.  Grue  20:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Republican Party

I'm mystified why my stating that the governments of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala were dictatorial or repressive in the early 1980s keeps getting reverted. Why is it POV to state that a country that tortures its own citizens and jails political prisoners en masse is dictatorial or repressive? Are you familiar with the history of those countries? As the Republican Party article stands now, it sounds like Reagan was supporting minutemen patriots against evil communists. That simply wasn't the case. If I write a detailed description of the governments of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala cirac 1982 on the Republican Party Talk page, will you consider not reverting? It gets tiresome always having to remove the Boy Scout aspect from American history articles at Wiki. Griot 20:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

• The problem with "just leaving out the adjectives and letting the readers decide for themselves" is that, in this case, a reader who has no context will get the wrong idea. It sounds like Reagan was fighting an anti-communist war, when really he was doing that and backing some very, very repressive governments. The sentence reads: "Most Democrats doggedly opposed Reagan's efforts to support the Contra guerrillas against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, and to support the governments of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador against Communist guerrilla movements." It sounds like spineless Democrats wouldn't come to the aid of freedom fighters, when really it was much more complex than that, as the gov'ts of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala were atrocious. Maybe you can think of a way to make this clear without resorting to an adjective. Griot 20:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anne Coulter

Can you please explain why you have repeatedly removed the Dabid Letterman quotation from the intro of this article. The letterman show is watched by millions of viewers around the globe and as such is THE most exposure Anne Coulter has had in the mass media so far. There are two other humourous quotes from an uncited source and from a rarely red English Newspaper whose circulation is paltry and certainly not considered mass media!

Is your right wing POV clouding your judgement here as i have not recieved a coherent explanation from you yet:

"Actually, Blumby, you are the one that does not have consensus to include this... especially in the intro."

I really don't care if I have the consensus or not, i'm not in this for personal gratification (unlike yourself i fear), i am reporting a widely circulated and RELEVANT quotation from the AMERICAN media. It is not my opinion of Anne Coulter, i do not make judgements, i just report the facts.

Please provide a coherent explanation for your actions. I will hold off re-editing the article until this is given as i really don't want to be petty about this.

Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blumby (talk • contribs) 10:35, 24 July 2006.

Yeah thanks for the reply. What twaddle. Typical, another internet phenomenon hijacked by right wing self gratification seekers. Strike one contributor from the list. comment was added by Blumby

Wow (must...resist...sarcastic comment...). --kizzle 18:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Fact via consensus is dubious at best, personally i prefer fact via evidence, which is why Wikipedia will never be Brittanica, who exactly said Coulter is the "Republican Michael Moore". Erm....some guy....erm oh i dunno but it sounds right don't it = CONSENSUS.

Who called her "an inconvenient bitch" on Live TV in front of 10s of millions? David Letterman = FACT.Blumby

Come up with a reasoned argument and stop acting like a petulant teenager Voldemort.

Fair Enough Voldermort but prey tell why you didn't remove the other quotes also. Thanks so much and have a great day Buddy. :) I think you're special too. :)

Fair enough mate. Sleep well.

[edit] Article

Hi - on what subject? If it's Wart-biter, I'm only drivebying that article at the moment. I've added a couple more sentences and I think we might be up to 1000 chars now? SP-KP 19:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for checking. Is it 1000 words, or characters? Out of interest, do you c&p the article into a WP to do the check, or is there a faciity within WP that does it? SP-KP 19:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heh...

What... 150 was just too big? [3] ;-) Is there an actual reason for the 149 that I might not know about (Width of the Main Page or something) or was it just a whim? Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 23:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

For this particular image, setting the width at 149px results in a height of exactly 100px. —David Levy 00:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

A-ha. I gotcha now. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 00:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hm

I just told him that hes a moron,since he insulted me,saying that Im racist.How come you dont warn him not to insult me and not to call me racist?? He should either prove that Im racist(by showing what racist I said) or apologize to me. I hope that you will warn him about this.Thank you.

Ice Cold 15:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

O,dont worry,I`ve been indefinetly blocked like 20 time over these last few years,but,as you know,you can never block someone forever,since the very second Im indefinetly blocked,I just make another account.

Anyways,as you may noticed,I was trying to act very nice with this latest Ice Cold name and I didnt attack no one.You may also noticed that this guy attacked me in a personal way and called me a racist!!! I know I should have reported him,since he would have been probably blocked for insulting me,but I just couldnt resist defending myself and telling him that hes acting like a moron.I realize that now I cant get him blocked(without gettin myself blocked to),since I did the same thing as he did.

You know, it can be hard to just sit and read someone throwing insults at you,so I just responded in the same manner,but I agree it was wrong.

[edit] Hi

Hi Voldemort Half-Blood Auror

[edit] Has Dumbledore won?

I don't know if anyone's noticed this before (some probably have), but to those that haven't, Lord Voldemort hasn't edited since 1 August 2006. Another peculiar thing is that is final edit summary reads: "Last edit... good night." Strange, is it not? Did the Lord intend that was his last edit ever and his "good night" is truly a final farewell? Or was he just saying it was that night's last edit and he was just saying "good night" (record show that edit was at 4:23 GW in the morning). What has happened to the Lord. Tragedy, perhaps? Has the Lord been destroyed? You may say, "well oh, look at that note he put at the top of his userpage that says he's on a break and'll be back soon." Well that note was put in on 2 May 2006; his "break" is well over, that's just old. Maybe this is all a trick and Mr. Clevermort over here is trying to see what really does happen if a Wikipedian dies (see top of userpage).--Porsche997SBS 01:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hmm...

In regard to your "What happens if a Wikipedian dies?" template - I was wondering the exact same thing. Quite sad really... There's a couple of users like that, really proficiant & then they disappear... Makes you wonder (well me anyway, as I can't tell what you're wondering about. I can only wonder what you're wondering aobut...) Cheers, Spawn Man 10:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting... Thanks!

Hi <akward>Lord Voldemort</akward>, or must I say He-who-must-not-be-named. I just wanted to thank you very much for 2 things:

1. For having such a cool and original user name, you mademe think... Cool, a user named Lord Voldemort.
2. And for having responed to an interrogant that I had had wandeing around my mind for a long time:What happens when a wikipedia dies? I thought I was the only one who had that question, but luckiliyI was wrong and I could find a user who were tos state the answer or an interesting relflection on it.

So, again thanks a lot, and have a nice day! Happy editing, ♠Tom@sBat 02:23, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah, you´re unactive... Hope you return some day... :) ♠TomasBat 15:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
