[edit] Charles Swift

Hey, thanks for your message -- I haven't figured out how to do that, so I'm responding here.

Yup, I'm an SU alum -- you too? I know SU has been in touch with Swift, and is darn tickled about his work. You might contact the Dean's office if you're looking for an SU speaker, or, of course, Doug Honig at the ACLU-wa . . . I am theoretically still on the ACLU speaker's bureau, but it's been a long time since I've made any appearances. My practice is almost exclusively state law, and our state doesn't raise the sort of civil liberties issues that the feds do! Or at least, few I can comment publically on as a faceless government bureaucrat. Lutanite 01:27, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hiya! I tried responding on your user talk (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Laura_Anglin ) let's see if that worked! rewinn 15:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hamdan v. Rumsfeld

(in reply to your post on my talk page) Re edits, glad to hear it, thanks. By the way, on the Kyl and Graham matter, if you want to have a stab, that would be great. I'm new to editing legal pages and am a bit reluctant. Ya, I should get around to creating a userpage I suppose. Crust 22:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glad to help out! =)

Ahh, I thought that may have been you, but generally I become suspicious when an IP or anonymous user edits a userpage, so I reverted just in case. Hopefully I didn't inconvenience you too much!!!

Feel free to borrow my userboxes. I think I may steal a few of yours. =)

Let me know if I can be of service. Srose (talk) 15:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for telling me how to de-column my userboxes. It was seriously getting on my nerves.Umlautbob 16:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Timon and Alcibiades

I must admit the reconciliation aspect of the play confuses me. It comes up in many commentaries but it doesn't seem like what is going on the play. Perhaps the language is confusing me there, or maybe I'm just thinking the logical end to the play is an attack. I've read it numerous times and I just don't "get" that this scene is a reconciliation beyond being told that it is. So far no one who has read my screen version found my interpretation of the ending comfusiong, unless they've kept silent. This confusion is why I tried to paraphrase the language of the play. Thanks for responding.

By the way, where do you get those user page labels? I've seen several pages with them.

[edit] Reply on Alcibiades

Thanks. IIRC, in my screenplay (which I wrote 4 years ago), I sort of used a Macbeth/Lear sort of ending, in which Alcibiades's platoon took the Senate by siege and Alcibiades killed the two senators most responsible (I conflated the "Senator" with Caphis and the "First Senator" at the soldier's trial). Throwing down the glove in the screenplay was definitely more interpreted as a challenge, but screenplay basically ended with the Senate under siege, not so much a war as I suggested. I hope this isn't a significantly less true reading of the text than say, Branagh killing Osric. I didn't change any dialogue except for some gender and number issues. I made about half the characters female since I placed it in a modern setting, and wrote in a lot of unspoken material to flesh out the characters, and things like that.Scottandrewhutchins 15:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)Scottandrewhutchins

[edit] Ambulance Chaser 'article'

I agree with you 100%. At best, it belongs in a 'Wictionary' (is that what you called it?) It is not an encyclopedia article, but a derisive term. How can we go about doing this?jgwlaw 02:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

What the heck is a game "civiliazation"?

Thanks for the tag. REading it now, my fear is that lawyer bashers will take the opportunity to 'expand' it to be more than a Wictionary entry. SIgh. Please keep an eye on this and on 'tort reform'.jgwlaw 15:24, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

Can you tell me what I did wrong on the L. Frank Baum user box? There is supposed to be a purple border and yellow text, but only the link text shows. I don't want to make any more until I figure this out.ScottandrewhutchinsScottandrewhutchins

Wow, I'd love to help ... but maybe I was just too slow. Did you fix it already? rewinn 15:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Coolcaesar and Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration

I have noted you as an involved party and/or commenter upon the behavior of user:Coolcaesar in the filed Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration. I greatly wish that you would comment on his behavior, and add references, links, etc. supporting your particular view to the current evidence already there. Please also explain his attitude/comments/witnessed behavior with detail about your experience in dealing with him. I do greatly appreciate it, and note that your reputation is protected upon comments at arbitration, and cannot be used against you. Thanks for your Time. --Mr.Executive 08:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks but I'm too busy

Thanks for the invitation, but I'm a bit too busy at the moment. Maybe some other time. --Coolcaesar 06:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] metric

I swear we had a slide on the Chevette, before it became associated with "ugly POS". Actually in an edit skirmish over that car as we speak. Will fix. --matador300 01:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America Newsletter - July '06

The Indigenous Peoples of North America Portal has been established, as a starting point for those wishing to learn more about the subject, with information and links on a wide variety of issues. It also contains news regarding the continent's various tribes and nations. It's a graphically pleasing site, and everyone is encouraged to check it out.
The project's home page has a new design, featuring tabbed subpages on participants, templates, articles, categories, and the to do list.
The Article Classification lists have been moved to their own subpage due to size. This is a sign of progress in the ongoing work of this project.
The project's talk page template has been updated, along with the classification system, to include the assessment on the talk pages of the articles that have been classified and assessed.
Balance
As the Project reaches its first six months of activity, the great effort all of you have invested in it has turned the vast information available on Indigenous North American topics from a deorganized cumulous into an excellent and easy to consult database. Although much work is still in order, few WikiProjects are able to obtain the amazing results we are proud to show today. To all of you, thank you and congratulations!
The assessment of articles within the scope of the project is still an ongoing process. We need people to help in this who are not contributors to the articles they are assessing. Also, there is the ongoing need for identifying and cataloguing articles that fall within the scope of this project. As of today, nearly 1,500 have been identified within the Project's scope.

[edit] Mother Damnable

So, did you actually have your hands on Thomas S. Phelps's memoir, or did you find him quoted somewhere else? If the latter, we should indicate the intermediate citation. If the former, great, it's fine as it stands. - Jmabel | Talk 04:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, you gotta good point. I read the quote first in Speidel's books (which I do have ... they are hilarious!) and then on some historysites. But it's still an indirect quote. I will order the book through interlibrary loan (they are available on bookfinder too) but until I can verify them (...which is the correct thing to do, I was just lazy...) how is intermediate cite handled? I appreciate your attention to quality! rewinn 15:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I found (...or rather, someone else found & I noticed...) Phelps' report on the web, so I editted the article to quote from that. There were a few different word IIRC; minor changes but that shows the value of going as close to the source as possible. rewinn 19:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Galloway

Excellent reason to remove the Al Qaeda paragraph - I've been wondering if someone would. I will be putting it back in though, with Galloway's response - as soon as I have finished preparing it. It may well be put back in sooner by people who I call the Galloway police. The only way round them (and the best route to go besides) is to keep showing both sides.

[edit] Lynette Warren

I noticed you were attempting to wiki chat with Lynette. You may wish to ask her why she contributes to a journal that made a joke about 2 aboriginal children dying by burning to death in a house fire on our reserve last month. She's one sick puppy. She also wrote something once about how listening to her own language spoke made her feel nauseated. Ask her about that too. Cheers... Somena

[edit] Hi!

I noticed you in the WP:biography place. I'm working on Paciocco a university prof in law. Perhaps this article may interest you. --CyclePat 18:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for actually making judgments. All I do is try to make it read better but didn't know that the topic just doesn't fit as written. Chivista 16:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC) Thanks for taking your unpaid work seriously. ;)

Fun, isn't it! A little bit of creativity, a little bit of construtivism. Too bad about the "unpaid" part tho... ;-) rewinn 21:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fascism and Nazism as representative forms of socialism

I am sorry to bother you again, but I really need some help. There is an ongoing campaign by a few editors to portray Fascism and Nazism as representative forms of socialism. As part of this effort (a debate that stretches back to 2004), there are a tiny handful of editors who revert and redirect National Socialism to Nazism. I believe a majority of editors support redirecting National Socialism to National Socialism (disambiguation). I realize we just had a poll on the Nazism page where I thought this issue was settled, but apparently the struggle is not over. Please consider voting in the new poll, or adding a comment at: Talk:Nazism#Survey:_redirecting_National_Socialism. Also consider notifying other editors with an interest in this matter. I am doing the best I can, but need assistance. Thanks.--Cberlet 17:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lawyer joke

The only thing that I don't undersand, to be honest, is why you think that I didn't understand the Shakespeare quotation. My comment was that it's not funny, and it's not clear to me that it was meant to be — but in any case it's not a lawyer joke (by any stretch of the imagination). Whether there should be an article on this topic is another matter entirely. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 09:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about my mistake with sourcing the list of resisters. HG 17:52, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh goodness, please don't apologize! You put me on to sources that I just never got around to incorporating. It complelled me to actually create a Kyle Snyder (soldier) page and do more research, based on the links you provided. I must thank you! rewinn 17:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Sure thanks. I put back the hatnote. Take care, HG 19:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

FYI there's an AfD on him. Not sure if I should comment there or not cause any further problems... HG 02:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Seattles speech

I think you are wrong in believing that "most people know him for having a city named after him" - and you are definitely wrong in thinking that if that is true it is a reason why his speech shouldn't be mentioned in the lead. According to WP:LEAD all the main points in the article should be briefly mentioned in the lead so that peope who only read the lead get the full picture. Whether or not Seattle is more known for the city or for his speech his speech is certainly widely known and often published - it is in the interest of the casual reader to know that he didn't in fact make any such speech and that it is a hoax.·Maunus· ·ƛ· 07:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of our respective beliefs on the subject, the speech is one very small incident in his life and does not merit inclusion in the introduction.rewinn 03:56, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
I take that that yo still haven't read WP:Lead. You really should.·Maunus· ·ƛ· 04:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Fairness Doctrine. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

I'm not sure I agree with the first two warnings, but the third I endorse. Stifle (talk) 17:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Which one would that be? They aren't numbered.
  • If you'd look at the edit history of this talk page, you'd see that the "EditWar" warning was put in by the anonymous editor himself. It is not correct for someone engaged in an edit war to put an edit war warning on someone else's talk page.
  • If you'd look at the substantive page in question, you'd see that the last batch of edits in which I was involved were the restoration of substantive content that the anonymous one sought to delete leaving only a couple of definitely POV items. Since a third party came onto the page and did some reasonable edits, I'm stepping out for a while (as was noted on that page's Talk page).
  • I am highly amused by the anonymous vandal, who is sinking a lot of effort into POV'ing a mere wikipedia page. What's the point? rewinn 00:41, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism By Anonymous Coward (above)

The above was added by an anonymous editor (Slashdot more accurately calls such Anonymous Coward) and not by a real admin. I am amused! rewinn 21:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

  1. warning templates are not for the exclusive use of admins.
  1. a nickname doesn't make you less anonymous than an IP. in fact, in the real world, it makes you more anonymous.
  1. in the fifty times you've brought the words "personal attack" up in your communication with me, this thing you wrote above is the first actual violation of WP:NPA instanced.

38.98.181.23 22:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

  1. This is my talk page. You come here, you takes your chances.
  2. What damages can an anonymous coward suffer? You are anonymous!

[edit] Blond

Hi, it seems the same user wishes to remove the photo of the boy once again. Interested in your thoughts. Kesälauantait (talk) 07:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I've replaced the photo and requested an orderly poll: shall the article keep the photo illustrating blond non-European, or delete? Until this poll is complete, any deletion of the photo should be considered vandalism. However I doubt that the individual who keeps deleting the photo is has no agenda since it won't cooperate on the article's talk page. rewinn (talk) 06:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree, a poll is certainly fair. The reason why I had removed the photo again was because I felt a person with a second opinion should restore it instead of myself again. It does seem that it's only the one person who wishes to remove it. Kesälauantait (talk) 08:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re

Hello. You are the one removing the image and thus vandalizing. So please do not throw around false accusations and threats. CanuckAnthropologist (talk) 05:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

You are deliberately vandalizing the page. If you persist, the procedures will be followed. Your edit history suggests that you are new to wikipedia and have difficulty with procedure. rewinn (talk) 05:14, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
No, it is you who are vandalizing. Don't try to scare me. I know what vandalism is. You are the one removing the image. I will now be reporting you for senseless edit warring and violation of 3RR. CanuckAnthropologist (talk) 05:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
In light of your edit history, I will be rfc'ing and therefore it is not appropriate for me to communicate further except to urge you to work less confrontationally in your edits. Really, this is only wikipedia and not worth wasting your time in a losing struggle to impose your will. rewinn (talk) 05:25, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 12 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for edit warring and breaking 3rr. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Gwen Gale (talk) 05:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "Hiya. This problem arose from talk's disruptive editing on Blond; please see Talk:Blond and the angry reason that editor gives for [[1]]. When I stated on Talk:Blond that I would seek RfC, talk seems to have posted a request for blocking. Eh, I don't really mind having us both thrown out of the pool to cool off. I hope, however, that some way to get talk to work toward consensus would work; I am of course not without fault but it appears from Talk:French people and talk's multiple ad hominem attacks on Talk:Blond progress remains to be made. rewinn (talk) 05:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)"


Decline reason: "It's an appropriate and very brief block. — Athaenara 05:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

I support your unblocking, and have noted such on the AN/I thread. I suggest you reapply for relief from the block. It's an unfair block, and short doesn't balance being unfair. ThuranX (talk) 06:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

:: Thank you for your kind support, and I agree with you completely. However, I think it's more productive to have a cold beer instead. May I draw you one too? rewinn (talk) 06:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's your choice. I think you're getting screwed. It's clear from a review of the pages that your block was quickly decided, based on CA's skewed presentation of the situation. I spent about 10 minutes reviewing the talk pages and history, and can clearly see that you aren't really at fault for anything but not running to tattle fast enough. If you choose to fight it, or ever find that others use this block against you, I'll be glad to affirm that your block was objected to by outside editors, and shouldn't be held agaisnt you, ever.
