[edit] Thanks!

Thank you for welcoming me! Thestormmovie 02:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

can i plead not-guilty?24.139.31.210 06:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome, can you help me if I get stuck? --Kickstartme 08:50, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice and the welcome. I will try to get less possesive about Sinhala Slang, at the moment I am very skeptic about someone messing with it and making a bad name of it. The funny thing is that, I requestd it to be semi-protected against vandalism and now even I cannot edit it since I am a newcomer. (for few days) This would teach me to let the article go,... and let it grow. Wondering if you can help me to protect the article from any malicious act, for the next three days, till I can edit it again :) Ritigala Jayasena 18:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Thanks

I appreciate the welcome! --JLaddJr 03:56, 7 August 2007 (ET)

[edit] Request for Some Help

Hey again. I just got finished writing my first page. After writing the page, I realized a mistake that I had made with the title of the page. I gave the article the title "Evangelical christian academy" when it should have been "Evangelical Christian Academy". Since I only recently setup my Wikipedia account I can't change the title. Can you make this change for me? The article is here Thanks! JLaddJr 17:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help again!

[edit] Thank you for stepping in!

Obviously you read what is going on so you must agree with me right? This particular editor has made an error. Am I correct? How can the article be rewritten so it's acceptable? Intolerancerecords 08:46, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't, and seeing what's going on, I have no intention of stepping into the actual article being discussed. All I saw were your comments on your fellow editor's talk page, and I just wanted to remind you to keep a cool head when speaking to those fellow editors. Comments like "are you retarded" add no meaningful content and only serve to make everyone agitated. --Darkwind (talk) 08:50, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Attack?

What I wrote did not constitute as a personal attack. Did you read the guidlines? If you did, you'd know that accusing someone without justification of making personal attacks is also considered a form of personal attack. Which pot is calling which kettle black my wiki buddy? Intolerancerecords 08:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

See my reply above. --Darkwind (talk) 08:50, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not you

Nah, I didn't mean you, just had a little edit conflict. Will move the post a little bit to avoid future confusion. Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 08:57, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey man? I think your wrong man? What is the big deal? Picking up sticks must be fun? Especially in 1976? Love you bye? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 166.82.192.241 (talk • contribs) 09:41, August 7, 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Alright "Noob"????

I do not appreciate the personal bashing. My mom is sick and all I can do is listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd. They help me get through the day. I know how it is to love with my mother. When they finally pass on it is hard. All those lonely nights in the basement have wore on me. Please forgive me. I'm sorry, I don't really know how to use the internets. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 166.82.192.241 (talk • contribs) 10:09, August 7, 2007 (UTC).

You've left this comment for the wrong user. I didn't say anything about that band on your talk page. The person who did added their comment above mine and didn't sign it. I've fixed that for you. --Darkwind (talk) 18:56, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry man. I am sad that I hurt you. Love you when your mad. Seth Bullard —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 166.82.192.241 (talk • contribs) 20:27, August 7, 2007 (CDT).

[edit] We want to stay within guidelines...

Greetings and thank you for all your efforts!

I've spent quite some time looking thru help files that have helped immeasurably.However, I'm not sure how to set up two items:

1.How do you move the table of contents box to a different area of the page? I don't see it in the html...

2.How do I properly set up a categories box at the bottom of the article? I listed categories that are appropriate but I notice that all pages have a standard blue box at the bottom with categories inside...

Thanks again Hillsboroughartscouncil 19:34, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What do you think so far?

Does it conform to Wikipedia style? Do you have any suggestions? What is the best way to get other editors involved? --Kickstartme 22:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Just as a note, this guy was a sock of Grumpyrob; he wasn't allowed to use his version of the article on Plastic pressure pipe systems, so he recreated the same article under the Industrial title instead. MSJapan 16:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your quick response!

We greatly appreciate your help... In regards to the notability issue we've added legal info about the Non-profit organization, town and state agency endorsements, a list of references to online published materials. I trust this will be more than sufficent... if not let us know...

Oh ... one more technical question... I'm having a problem inserting the 'nofollow' tag for external links... could you copy me a sample?

Thanks again for your help... you folks are great! Hillsboroughartscouncil 22:32, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not worthy of Wikipedia

Thank you once again... In regards to the Notability issue:

It appears that you placed the notability banner on the page... 19:57, 7 August 2007 (hist) (diff) m Hillsborough Arts Council (added notability tag)

You also moved the page to another area that can’t be found… 19:58, 7 August 2007 (hist) (diff) m Hillsborough Arts Council (moved Hillsborough arts council to Hillsborough Arts Council:

We have now edited the page extensively adding numerous links and references to deal with the Notability issue.

However you state “I'm not going to make any kind of final judgment call as to whether what you've included is completely sufficient I don't think I really have the experience in that depth of Wikipedia policy.”

I'm a bit mystified that you felt qualified to

• Tag the page as having a Notability issue,
• Move the page
• Add a Wikipedia articles with topics of unclear importance tag to the categories

... but you now state that you don't have the experience to judge it...

interesting...

Well… I gave it my best…

Respectfully Hillsboroughartscouncil 01:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Appreciate the kindness

I appreciate both the civility and your kindness in explaining these nuances.

I really was mystified and was trying not to sound confrontational.

I wouldn't feel comfortable removing the template as the edits are mine. I'm not a member of the Hillsborough Arts Council but I volunteered some time to help them with website and other issues... hence my idea to put some info up on Wikipedia.

I guess I'll just wait and see what happens, or ask if anyone else feels qualified to edit the site and remove the notability banner.

Once again thanks so much for the clarification respectfully Hillsboroughartscouncil 01:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 17:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please leave me alone

I'm sick and tired of being banned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.94.120.34 (talk • contribs) 07:57, August 11, 2007 (CDT)

My note to you didn't say anything about being banned. It just said "please don't hold extended discourse in an edit summary." Based on your IP's warning history, though, I'm not inclined to be particularly sympathetic. --Darkwind (talk) 19:35, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How about no?

Okay? Soon, I'll get a modem that changes my IP every time I log in. I'm sick of the "you have new messages" thing that won't go away. I'm not vandalizing your page. I'm eventually going to be banned again so I'm trying to fix wrong info on some pages. My anger comes from Jonny2x4 who keeps editing stuff with speculation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.94.120.34 (talk • contribs) between 14:49 and 14:58 in several edits, August 11, 2007 (CDT).

I know you're not vandalizing my page, I'm just moving the discussion to the bottom so it stays in chronological order. Why worry about randomizing your IP, unless you want to feel anonymous? If you really don't want to be tracked, that's fine, but as Wikipedians, we as a community will continue to self-"police" activity by all our users and guests. Just try to keep civility in mind while editing, and you'll be fine. If you're having problems with a particular editor, discuss it on their talk page (in a civil manner) or on the talk page of the article in question. Wikipedia operates by consensus, and if you have a discussion on the article talk page, others interested in that article will generally chime in with their opinions, and that way a consensus can be reached.

The fact that your new messages banner won't go away is because of a known bug with messages left for IP addresses and the MediaWiki software. That's another reason to register for an account, the problem doesn't seem to happen if you're logged in. --Darkwind (talk) 20:22, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 195.137.122.76

Hello! My apologies for the 'incident' - computer problems at the time. Will not happen again! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.137.122.76 (talk • contribs) 21:18, August 13, 2007 (CDT).

That's fine, things happen from time to time. --Darkwind (talk) 02:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

How was my edit vandalism? It was a valid edit to the Space Jam page about a notable spin-off that did not have its own page. I believe that qualifies as "Trivia" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.108.123.19 (talk • contribs) 21:42, August 13, 2007 (CDT).

You're right. I apologize, but I added the warning to your page in error. I meant to send the vandalism warning to another user who'd added some inappropriate content to Space Jam, but I clicked on the wrong talk page link from the article's history. I'll remove the warning from your talk page. --Darkwind (talk) 02:45, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.108.123.19 (talk • contribs) 16:14, August 16, 2007 (CDT).

[edit] eyeblink conditioning

thanks for your suggestions re: eyeblink conditioning entry, and for informing me about the wikipedia writing etiquette. I'll continue to work to make this page great. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dentate (talk • contribs) 20:49, August 14, 2007 (CDT).

You're quite welcome. Don't forget to sign your talk comments by using ~~~~ at the end. :) --Darkwind (talk) 02:35, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy tags

Hi. Please don't stick speedy tags on articles like Adékamni Olufadé (now redirected to another article by me, by the way) - it said he appeared in the 2006 World Cup!!! And I believe that what the other articles need is some cleanup, not deletion. Punkmorten 08:25, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Audrey Smith deletion contested

Creator has expressed his anger at me for CSD of Audrey Smith. Could you talk to him, my conversation is going nowhere. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 16:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Please see discussion on creator's User_talk:Eckre and my User_talk:Dlohcierekim Talk pages. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 16:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll have a look at the discussion. --Darkwind (talk) 19:15, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the whole User talk:Eckre affair

Thanks for clarifying that whole hornet's nest. I had been told that Mayors were now notable. I just feel bad that the editor had so much enthusiasm and so little understanding. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 22:11, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) --Darkwind (talk) 01:12, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
