[edit] User Category for Discussion
Hi, I just wanted to know exactly why it's being considered for deletion. I think the people in the category have this userbox:
on their page. There are quite a few of them. Is it beacuse it is too polemical a category? Is it because it has been created and deemed too polemical and thus deleted before? Please, someone, enlighten me.
--Steven Weston 20:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to enlighten you. On Wikipedia:User categories for discussion, we've been against two things most of all: categories that create a sense that all responsible users should be members of them, and categories which declare a negative preference and thus cannot be used for collaboration. This category does both: Everybody's supposed to be against vandalism, and no one using it is declaring a preference for anything except an absence of vandalism. That's why it's unanimous that it should be deleted, and why I'm in the process of doing so right now. That make sense? (Please note that the userbox will be untouched, it's just the category that's being deleted.)--Mike Selinker 22:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes that's fine. I'll leave it alone hereafter. I guess I should have read Wikipedia:User categories for discussion...--Steven Weston 13:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Personal attack
I've left the anon another warning, let me know if they do it again and I will block them. In the future if this happens, you should leave warnings to them (different warnings can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace) and if they ignore the warnings, report them at WP:AIV and an administrator will block them.

[edit] Unhelpful changes?
Are you confused? The edits I've made were getting rid of the line "A real model, about 2 1/2 feet (76 cm) in diameter, currently resides in my ass." from the Death Star article and a couple of other similar things. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.178.68.57 (talk) 20:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC).
- No, I did not put that comment. I tried to undo it from a previous person, somehow the undo malfunctioned, or something. Why would I do such a thing anyway? I attempt to fight vandalism.--Steven Weston 08:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rugrats Characters page edit
That is actually true information about Drew Pickles check out the Barney Bunch website and look for his biography in it
- This is an encyclopaedia, your comments were not acceptable for an encyclopaedic article. I don't even think that they would be acceptable on an Uncyclopedic article.--Steven Weston 15:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No point warning schools
I noticed you warned a user recently for vandalism. Sadly, this isn't really worth the trouble in the case of school IPs. Maury 12:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I know, but I do it anyway.--Steven Weston 12:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
