Untitled (Welcome and sandbox article)
Hello Y0u,

Welcome to Wikipedia.

BTW, Why are you trying to protect your SandBox article? Doing some research on revert wars - (what's that)? - Stevey7788

 * Actually, I'm keeping it here until I find the place where you test creating new pages... I can't find it (searched for a few hours) and I'm not sure that I want to list it as a user subpage because I don't want it to be about me, just something I found (based on an article which as far as I can tell is in the public domain) and contributed. Y0u 02:20, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * Just create a user subpage titled "Test page please don't edit," or something like that. Stevey7788

 * Done. Actually, I want other people to edit (so long as they keep the overall original page- although I would have no objections if it slowly evolved...) I consider this my "Random Nonsense" section.

Substubs and sentences
Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and its articles should not resemble dictionary entries. I've vented my annoyance at quite a few substub authors in edit summaries over the last few days as I've been trying to clean up the gigantic cesspool that is Category:Substubs. Imagine three thousand articles that don't consist of more than two sentences at best. Now imagine having seen several hundred substubs where the author didn't seem to care enough about the subject to even bother with a verb. After a while, it makes you irritable to the point of berating people without even bothering to see who wrote the thing.

It's my own personal opinion that nobody should start an article unless they can write a couple-of-three sentences about the subject. Otherwise, why bother? It doesn't violate any actual rules, but it's not good style, nor is it terribly helpful to readers. -- Cyrius|✎ 03:37, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Denjo's nonsense
Denjo is not adding nonsense, s/he is adding BIONICLE fancruft. There is a very important difference: nonsense is in bad faith, Denjo's contributions are not. I hate fancruft, and I'm sure you do to, but it isn't nonsense. I'm working on cleaning up after Denjo now, so don't worry about it to much. Cheers,  →Iñgōlemo←   talk 00:08, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)

Votes for deletion/List of countries receiving snowfall
Hello, I noticed you removed a vote made by an anonymous user. As a rule, we don't ever remove votes, even if they're made in bad faith (which this vote certainly wasn't). It's up to the administrator closing the vote to evaluate the merits of each vote. Anonymous votes cast by obvious sockpuppets are generally disregarded; votes by genuine Wikipedians who haven't registered are usually at least taken into consideration. Standard procedure for votes that are left unsigned is to add a signature, not to remove them. JRM · Talk 23:31, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)

VfD page
The VfD nominations you are adding to the page aren't working correctly because they are categories, not articles. Categories should get and go to Categories_for_deletion. I'll fix these up, if someone else doesn't beat me to it. Thanks. --Tabor 18:20, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

By accepting these initial coins, you accept rule 3 and you are also willing to give an appropriate amount of coins to newbies. Please express any possible disagreement in the rules page. You can use these coins as a medium of exchange here in wikipedia. For example, you can ask another wikipedian to make specific contributions, deletions, or cast votes for a subject, or pay him with your money for whatever reason. Its not bank's job to punish you in case your transactions are against wikipedia policy. But have in mind that if you are doing illegal transactions, you may be punished by admins. The bank is going to pay you 2 coins for each person you are going to introduce to the Bank.

Whatever transactions you are doing with other wikipedians, please do them in User_talk:Bank_of_Wikipedia.

Misunderstanding
Thank You for telling me about the GNU Free Documentation License. I did not know about that, and was confused as to why you had removed my signatures. Does this mean that none of the pages I write I can accredit myself with. (Not including the talk pages) So if I write an article on a topic that is not copyrighted will I be able to put my signature there? Also, am I using this talk feature correctly, and is this the only way to communicate through Wikipedia? --Aslan's Mane 18:32, Jun 8, 2005

Hi Y0u,

You have placed the above-mentioned image for speedy deletion. However after looking at the circumstances I recommend that you pass it through Images for Deletion instead.

- Best regards, Mailer Diablo 20:04, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I personally think that it can be removed, and I voiced my support for it. I mainly think it is a copyvio, plus I do not know if the image can be deleted solely that it is used for vandalism. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:27, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

GregLoutsenko's suggestions
no one ever read my suggestions, so...

i just spent last couple of minutes clicking the random article link in wikipedia and found to my suprise that most of the article i came across were in fact couple of pages long and were not a stub. where do you people think wikipedia is heading?

i recon that in a decade all other encyclopedeas will be obsolete or will have to merge in order to keep up with wikipedia's growth rate. even encarta has now began allowing user editing, although any editing has to be approved by an editor first.

although i have some doubts if wikipedia will be able to maintain its organisation of articles in order, already there are many article which are basically on the same topic but are placed under slightly different names. i certainly hope that the community and the designers will be able to come up with solutions for these problems. i would really hope that wikipedia will be able to expand into more technical topics, like details of complier error messages and specific, very technical, medical topics, i dont c why it cant happen. wikipedia has no limits on space so pretty much any article is acceptable. if only wikipedia can get a wider community of users.

i also would really like a spell checker for the editing section and a more visual editing environment. i also think that there should be a simple 10 star review system of articles, a review for quality of language, review for point of view, and correctness.

the "discussion" section should be made into a standard forum type, because at the minute the layout does make it difficut to read through suggestions, or at least more difficult then would have been if it was a standard forum, like phpbb.

and why not have google ads?! it will bring in more cash to speed up the servers...

there should really be a more organized layout of the help section/rules section and stuff on templates and stubs. it took me like days to figure all the stuff out needed and i still dont think i know all the formatting tricks and the way wiki works/where to find stubs to write on and so on. its just a mess of links.

also i would really like way more statistics for each article, or at least a reorganization of stat section coz at the minute it takes me far too long to find stats i am looking for, most of the time these stats dont even exist. GregLoutsenko 16:02, Jun 10, 2005

female to male ratio of wikipedeans
what is the female to male ratio of wikipedeans? it seems only males are active, and more spacificly i think that wikipedea tends to focus more on computing and programming and science then anything else becuase of the kinds of people who are intrested in this project.

stable articles
i was thinking is there like list of stable articles? by that i mean articles which are fairly big and they have not been changed for a long time. if wiki could then cross reference that with popularity of articles it could make it easier to prioritse making spoken versions of the articles. btw when a minor change occures to an article does the sound version get deleted automaticly? if not it should because it will be incorret. although this leaves wiki wide open to vandalism where 1 guy could slightly change all the spoken articles.--GregLoutsenko 21:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

what i mean is that sarticles which havent been massivly added to. there must be some articles which are simply it, as good as its going to get. maybe some sections will still be tweaked but the nuts and bolts of the articles is there...--GregLoutsenko 21:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Computer_and_video_games_that_have_been_considered_the_greatest_ever
you article Computer_and_video_games_that_have_been_considered_the_greatest_ever is a bit biased towards modern games which are the ones which have been reviewed by industry mags and websites like pcgamer and gamespot. however other much much much more important games should be in that article too. i was actually thinking of doing games which changed the world article yesterday but decided against it coz its just going to be my opinion. anyway try adding games like wolfenstein, doom, duke nukem, pong, tetris (although is on the list it needs a way biggermention), pacman, space invaders, dune 2. there are many other vintage games which need to be added and considered. i also think more pictures are needed.--GregLoutsenko 16:17, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

wikinfo, is that really needed?!
wikinfo is intresting because they are trying to correct some of the "problems" with wikipedia, like trying to get rid of edit wars by simply allowing articles to be biased. however any encyclopedia must be clearly unbiased and balanced. if someone wants to write something critical or biased they can make a website or write a book, not write it in an encyclopeadia. the edit wars are there for a reason, to make sure articles are of highest standard and do not just cover i side (like fox news). i believe that any edit war can be absolutly resolved through simply having a "critism" section, like say on the microsoft article, or saying something like "....while others would say that....and this may be true because..." then let the reader form their own final opinion. --GregLoutsenko 17:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

DVDEmpire.com (and associated redirects such as AdultDVDEmpire.com)
Hey there, Y0u;

What's your thinking on this entry? On the one hand, I'm loath to delete it, because - if all the claims in the article are true - it's a fairly significant retailer/online landmark (mid-90s online DVD retailer). On the other hand, the user who created it seems to be highly POV and very adamant about its importance... "methinks he doth protest too much". I'd appreciate your input; drop me one on my Talk page, please. jglc | t | c 18:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Uh-oh. Problems: I tried to re-edit DVDEmpire.com for a more NPOV entry, and the user has come after me on my talk page, telling me that my grammar was poor, I have "problems with pornography", and asking me for information on my "supervisor". Can you please help me out with this? Thanks, jglc | t | c 20:07, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't know what to make of all this. On the one hand, I accept that his/her original article was pretty well-written. On the other hand, I feel very strongly that the entry, in its original version, was very nearly ad-copy: that is needed to be cleaned up to present a neutral, encyclopaedic, version of events.
 * In addition, user just posted this comment on my talk page, which suggests to me that s/he may very well be an employee of DVDEmpire.com]. Which may or may not be a strike against him/her, but is still something to consider.
 * All in all: I really don't mean to be a vandal or start an edit war. I do feel strongly about Wikipedia being as NPOV as possible, as well as not being a web-directory or promotional tool/funnel for advertisors.  I'm conflicted as to what I ought to do (let Los_Diablos simply run rampant over the entry?  Watch the page with an iron fist? Somewhere in between?), and would greatly appreciate some advice. jglc | t | c 21:00, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * As per your suggestion, DVDEmpire.com is (obviously) on my Watchlist. I will continue to strive for NPOV and to get along with Los Diablos.  Here's hoping it won't be too much stress. jglc | t | c 21:11, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dvdempire
if you read his initial posts, s/he made it clear that he has problems with pornography. next, under the guise of npov, he ruined the article and many of the ideas behind it. lastly, his grammar is atrocious. i don't understand how that guy happened along, seconds after i made my page live, and deleted graphics (mistakeningly i might add), but i will not sit by and let him ruin my piece cause s/he just likes jerking people around. take a look at his talk page, i'm not the only one with issues with him. what do you do with wikipedians run amuck? 15:35, Jun 16, 2005 Los Diablos

 * In my defense, I would like to state that my grammar is impeccable. I have test scores, if you want to see them ;) jglc | t | c 20:56, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

wikipedia's shortcomings and a compromise
in jasonglchu's zeal to defend the "rules" of this site (which i understand are more like guidelines), jasonglchu is trampling on the very ideas wikipedia was founded on.

1. wikipedia is a COMMUNITY of users: if jasonglchu edits new entries (as s/he so proudly admitted to doing to mine within seconds of its going live on the site) to how jasonglchu deems it should be, then are you not acting counter to the basic idea of wiki... that this site is a community of people, where people from all walks of life contribute. it is not one person, with by all appearances nothing else to do, editing every post to how he wants it to read.

as i see it, jasonglchu's behavior toward newcomers is the proverbial "weak link" of this site and will ultimately be its downfall. by jasonglchu's own admission, jasonglchu didn't even read the entry and was trying to delete it. that is just absurd.

2. newcomers are the life blood of wikipedia: if jasonglchu attacks every newcomer to wikipedia seconds after they list an entry, as he did with me, then why would someone want to come back and list something else on this site. after i saved my entry, i didn't even get a new browser window open and clicked over to wikipedia before my graphic had been taken down and jasonglchu was threatening to delete the entire entry. and being a newcomer, i not only found that highly combative, but felt as though i had to respond in kind before he destroyed my work.

i for one will never be back except to monitor my page. and i think "YOu" and jasonglchu both need to read this page, jasonglchu pretty much VIOLATED EVERY guideline set forth for conduct.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_don%27t_bite_the_newcomers

3. lastly, i am making a few edits to the page. but i will leave your NPOV changes in, not because i think you are right, but because i simply don't have the time to keep fighting you over this.

i will be changing the heading of the 3rd chapter to read simply "Future Expansion." and in that following paragraph, "Adult Entertainment" to "Adult Movies" which wikilinks to pornography.

i see that as a compromise.

Hi You. I've been a long time using Wikipedia and seeking to remove vandalism, update websites and provide adequate information especially when it comes to concern my mother country Malta.

Before submitting using my username - Maltesedog - I have submitted a number of entries without even registering/logging in due to pressure of time. 212.56.128.186.

I beg to request to become an administrator of Wikipedia especially to monitor Maltese related sites. The number of vuglur words in Maltese which I found in the respective sites is not something nice.

Subst:'ing speedy deletion notices
Please do not subst: speedy deletion notices, as it's annoying (it causes the page to go over the threshold for autofilling the delete reason box with "content was:" and the content). --cesarb 29 June 2005 22:03 (UTC)

Congratulations, you're an admin!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, blocking users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. You might find the administrators' how-to guide helpful. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 30 June 2005 21:31 (UTC)

Yay, your first block? A worthy one, congrats :) --W(t) 30 June 2005 21:52 (UTC)

 * Ok, not quite such a worthy block. Still, I see you're getting the hang of things… --W(t) 30 June 2005 21:55 (UTC)

Yep. I undid my block and blocked the IP address. I'm being sure to be VERY CAREFUL with my admin powers and leave them alone unless I'm ABSOLUTELY SURE I'm using them correctly (being bold certainly doesn't apply here.) Anyway, I was literally laughing out loud (and this is in a college computer lab!) when I realized I had blocked myself. You (Talk) June 30, 2005 21:58 (UTC)
 * Don't sweat it, everything apart from image deletions can be undone by you or any other admin. --W(t) 30 June 2005 22:01 (UTC)
 * And page history merges. Avoid them if you are not really sure of what you are doing; undoing them involves going through every revision, by hand, on the limited undelete interface (which doesn't show diffs or source). And to make matters worse, it's a convoluted and ill-documented procedure. --cesarb 30 June 2005 22:11 (UTC)

spliting up wikipedia
wikipedia needs to be split into wikipedia, autobiographys and geographical locations. it seems like a logical step from wikinews and wikispecies. it will also make it easier for anyone who wants to write an article on a geographical location or a person.--GregLoutsenko 5 July 2005 12:26 (UTC)

Adminship
Thank you very much for the adminship offer. But I will only be an administrator if the Wikipedia community needs me and my help. I don't ever want to be admin to be king, and it could be a big responsibilty. If you would like to make me admin, please think about it first. I will happily withdraw if you really think I'm not fit for such a job. — Stevey7788 (talk) 6 July 2005 20:32 (UTC)

 * Take a look at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Block behaviour changes. --cesarb 00:26, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not quite sure exactly what you were trying to say by that link. Were you saying only that the user was allowed to edit their userpage?  The user was obviously incorrect in claiming to be no longer banned, and that's the reason I reverted that.  Were you explaining that they could edit the userpage?  Perhaps I should watch the noticeboard more closely. You (Talk) 00:34, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Admin nomination
Hello Y0u,

Although I first refused your offer, I think I've changed my mind about the adminship thing. Since I do a LOT of wikifying, RC patroling, new page patroling, vandalism whacking, new user welcoming, etc. I really think I need some admin tools and admin status to help me work better. You can go ahead and nominate me for adminship. Thanks very much. — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:07, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your support and nominating me for adminship. However, you may also want to tell other people about what you think of my etiquette and sttitude towards other Wikipedians, not just that I will make great use of the admin tools. Thanks very much. — Stevey7788 (talk) 21:41, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Is my user page notice good or bad?
I copied this message from RedWolf24's user page. I wonder if this message is OK on my user page. Will anybody accuse me of advertizing on my user, or will it give people a negative impression of me as campaigning recklessly for adminship? I'm not saying that RedWolf24 and Essjay are reckless campaigners, I am just a little concerned about the message. Thanks. — Stevey7788 (talk) 17:50, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Reply to, Stevey7788's RFA
"Should not" is not the correct term here. "I feel that it should not" is closer to what I mean. I was merely trying to shed a different light over the discussion, since it appeared to me that you were under the impression that the opposition was being made to those edits alone, which, by all means, does not make much sense (though it has been done in the past). But opposing to an editor that feels strongly enough against certain words to censor them goes strictly against the ideals of the Wikipedia, so that was what my comment was about. For further clarifications, feel free to contact me. --Sn0wflake 21:24, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Also see my reply on the RfA. I was never aware of any policy which says that removing offensive words is not something to be done on Wikipedia. I really thought that I was doing something helpful to Wikipedia. But if some people oppose my actions and on removal of vulgar words, I will be very careful not to remove them to avoid POV and conflict. — Stevey7788 (talk) 22:34, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

ESRB Rating
The ESRB article for the Not Rated entry says Game has been created before the formation of the ESRB, or the ESRB has chosen not to rate the game for one or more factors, which is why I thought it would apply. I'll admit though, that "N/A" might still be better. --ADeveria 20:16, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

thanks for supporting me
Hello, just a quick note to express my gratitude for your support of my RfA. I'm sure I'll become a familiar face on places like the Administrator's Noticeboard and Requests for Adminship, as well as the murkier parts of my new job. "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." (Luke 12:48, NIV) Never was a truer word spoken. I feel empowered, yes, but not in the "oooh cool delete button!" way I was kind of expecting. Already I feel the weight of the responsibility I have now been entrusted with, a weight that will no doubt reduce given time. Thank you for believing in me. :) GarrettTalk 10:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

CD vs. CD-ROM (Infobox CVG)
I noticed in the Dragon Quest VII article that you changed CD to CD-ROM in the infobox. I'm fine with that, but if that is to be the standard, the infobox example should be changed to match. --Pagrashtak 04:42, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

RFA...
Y0u, thank you very much for your help and your kindness during my RfA. The reason there are so many oppose's appears to be because of a curious domino effect about "censorship". However, if you want to nominate me for adminship again after a few months, I will be sure to carefully read and memorize as many Wikipedia guidelines and policies, and I will also regularly be active in VfD, IfD, and TfD procedures. I am currently reading a lot of Wikipedia namespace pages, and I am very sure that I will be more ready for next time's RfA. As I had since my beginnings on Wikipedia, I will keep on improving articles, which is what I think Wikipedia is all about. — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:00, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Besides, your sandbox page User:Y0u/Compleat History Of The World Feel free to edit! has a few new subpages now. Some really funny pages:

Regarding schools . ..
Check out all the school stubs being written by User:Maoririder. In my mind, this is precisely the problem with allowing all schools; you get these ten-second microstubs. Please take a look at them and fix up what you can. It isn't just school articles; anything connected with Maine is a legit target for this guy. --Scimitar parley 19:08, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I appreciate you looking at his articles; a few of us have been trying to knock a little sense into his head (that he needs to actually include some information in his articles); maybe it'll catch. I understand your view on schools, and I wouldn't nominate one on notability grounds, simply because they'll never be deleted on those grounds.  Again thanks for looking at those articles; I don't work on school articles on principle.--Scimitar parley 19:27, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

SUBSTing templates
Hi there! I apologize in advance for (somewhat) reverting your page. According to Wikipedia's template substitution guidelines, test and similar templates should always be substed, partially due to performance issues. In your edit summary, you indicated that you reverted to leave the messages as originally written. In fact, substing these templates is the way to achieve this, as transcluded templates are prone to change as the template changes, but substed templates are fixed. Again, sorry for editing your talk page, I know this can be a sore spot for some editors, but I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of the subst guidelines.  Pagra shtak  00:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for explaining it to me, and I apologize if I seemed difficult or stubborn. I originally reverted them since I wanted my talk page to be completely transparent and for the exact intent of anyone who left me messages to show (I wouldn't have dug up, some months ago, a vandalism warning to display if I didn't feel so strongly about having nothing to hide,) but most anyone checking my talk page would know that's a form message anyway.  (Before anyone asks, I feel that the obscene remarks I have recieved I am justified in censoring since I make it clear at the top of my talk page that I reserve the right to do so, and if anyone really wanted to see them, it wouldn't be difficult to figure out to check the history.) Y0u | Y0ur talk page 03:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Nah, I didn't think you were stubborn or anything. The somewhat long explanation is because some users are very particular about their user/talk page; I wanted to make sure I didn't tick you off in case you were such an editor. Glad to see you're a sensible person. To tell you the truth, those warnings are trolling, right? You could just delete them for all I care. I'm fortunate enough to have never been trolled on my page yet, but I once deleted a message left by an anon asking me to sign a petition regarding voice actors in some Sonic show.

 * I feel that this glitch should be mentioned as there are still people who play the original game and should heed warning before they corrupt their cartidge also. As carriers are a vastly important unit for naval/ground assaults, making more than one would be quite common for the average player of the game. The glitch occurs because when a second carrier is built, they did not properly program whether or not newly created carriers would carry aircraft. So by default these aircraft are spawned within but are corrupt because there are no rules set for the newly created aircraft.

 * Perhaps a reason why it was removed would be nice ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.167.147 (talk • contribs)

Very Belated Thanks!
Hi YOu,

A long time ago (June 2005), you welcomed me to Wikipedia. I would have expressed my thanks then, but 1) I had trouble figuring out how to edit talk pages; and 2) your username made me think that I had triggered some "newbie" alarm, and had somehow sent an automated welcome to myself! (signed with the second-person pronoun for humor, or something) :) By the time I straightened all that out, it was 2006, and it seemed a bit little to come calling. I never forgot, though.

Now that we've randomly crossed Wiki-paths again, I thought I give that delayed thanks: your welcome accelerated my learning curve from "standstill" to "very slow", so I'll always be grateful! :) Your welcome-ee, Xoloz 22:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi YOu. I'd like to collaborate in the article and the summary, but anytime I edit it creates conflicts due to the high number of edits going on at the same time. Is there any way we can organize something where we agree with what to add and fix rather than all diving in and therefore being less productive? Thanks.

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. RL0919 (talk) 22:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Starmen.net
Waste of bandwidth. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality/talk]] 03:44, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality/talk]] 03:44, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a web directory. Not notable. jni 06:33, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * It was notable enough to voters to survive VfD in March. As for "waste of bandwidth," the article's length can be attributed to expansion to try to meet Wikipedia standards, see Talk:Starmen.net. (And we know the hard disks are cheap policy.) No vote yet, but I'll post the previous debate below. Samaritan 07:04, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Fairly notable website. Survived VFD previously. Significant contribution to video game culture. Also, probably one of the earliest fansites for the game, and home to a rather monumental petition. Keep. [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless | (Methyl Remiss)]] 07:17, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm going to stick with my old vote. Delete as not notable. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 07:19, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. If it was notable enough to survive last time, it's probably still notable now. P Ingerson 08:05, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep—marginally notable and an interesting companion article to EarthBound. Everyking 10:00, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. #1 Google hit for "earthbound", so the site is evidently popular, and the history section establishes notability quite well. The article really should be trimmed, though; most info outside of the history section is useless. Fredrik | talk 12:10, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Alexa rank now down to 202,484. 7 del to 4 keep? talk about just barely surviving last VfD. Definately should go this time. Niteowlneils 16:52, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, 6 to 4 (the final vote from User:J.J. was cast in May.) Samaritan 18:34, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable, or merge a sentence or two into Earthbound if someone wants to. Cdc 19:40, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think its notable for having had an effect on Nintendo and having been mentioned in some of the gaming magazines. Also, note that I edited the page significantly and moved it to Starmen.Net (the difference is the 'N' in 'Net' being capitalized, it wasn't before). I think the article is much more in line with the standards of Wikipedia now. modargo 20:03, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. The only "waste of bandwidth" is this growing conversation.  [[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 23:16, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, don't be rude. Keep in mind that I nominated this before this edit.

[Early votes are obviously based on a substantively different version of the article.]

Alexa rank is 60,000+. Unofficial fan site. Not notable. Meelar 05:11, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete - EarthBound has a link to it, which is all that is called for -- Cyrius 05:15, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - Going to have to agree with you. No need to explain the site; it does that itself. shadow 06:01, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Starmen.net has actually made quite a splash concerning Nintendo. Miyamoto even mentioned its petition to release Mother 3 in an interview. Also, in Nintendo Power issue 145, the fanart section (I forget what it is called) mentioned that a lot of people had drawn EarthBound pictures--"and it's not even a theme month!" This was because of Starmen.net--the staff asked visitors to draw EarthBound pictures and mail them in at a certain date. And besides, there are individual articles about certain popular webcomics, why not idividual articles about a popular site? --SMWhat 05:55, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC) P.S. I'd add all this to the article, but I am SWAMPED with schoolwork, and unable to make more than minor/smallish edits at a time.
 * Keep for now. Quinwound 07:54, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: looks like an ad and not much more —Tkinias 08:51, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's not great and still a bit of an advert but much better than it was.  Of interest to Nintendo players perhaps. -- Derek Ross 15:46, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep (well, I'm leaning towards "keep"). Given the edit activity on this article since its inception I get the distinct impression that the starmen.net website is some sort of "troll heaven" and I think it would be useful for people considering using the site to have this issue covered here in an NPOV manner. (However I've seen no mention of this facet in the article yet, though I admit I've only skimmed it.) - Hephaestos|§ 17:15, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Monica (radar)

Monica was a range-only tail warning radar for bombers, introduced by the RAF in June 1942. Officially known as ARI 5664, it operated at frequencies of around 300 MHz (on the boundary between VHF and UHF). The system was also used by the US Army Air Forces, under the name AN/APS-13, and the nickname Archie.

History
Monica was developed at the Bomber Support Development Unit (BSDU) in Worcestershire. After the Luftwaffe became aware of Monica from a crashed bomber, German scientists developed a passive radar receiver, named Flensburg (FuG 227). From early 1944, FuG 227 was used by nightfighter crews to home in on Allied bombers using Monica. However, on the morning of 13 July 1944, a 7.Staffel/NJG 2-flown Junkers Ju 88 G-1 nightfighter equipped with Flensburg mistakenly landed at RAF Woodbridge. After examining the Flensburg equipment, the RAF ordered Monica withdrawn from all Bomber Command aircraft. An AN/APS-13 was used as a radar altimeter during the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the 509th Composite Group, USAAF.

User:Vacuum/Netoholic RfC

In order to remain listed at Requests for comment, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute, not different disputes. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: 03:12, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is:, 29 July 2024 (UTC).

 * (Netoholic | talk | contributions)

Statement of the dispute
Netoholic is blanking his talk page inappropriately.

Description
Netoholic is blanking his talk page to hide criticism, 'archiving' them to the page history where finding them is nigh on impossible. When warned against this behavior, Netoholic immediately deletes the comments. Netoholic uses misleading edit summaries to hide the nature of the deletions.

Evidence of disputed behavior
(provide diffs and links)
 * One section of the page history involves him 'archiving' the talk page four times in the space of three hours:

Applicable policies
{list the policies that apply to the disputed conduct}
 * User page, in particular "Please avoid deleting discussion merely because it is critical of your actions - doing so will only make people repeat the same criticism, and will make you seem like you are ignoring criticism."
 * Edit summary, in particular "Edit summaries should accurately summarize the nature of the edit, especially if it may be controversial; if the edit involves reverting previous changes, it should be marked as a revert in the edit summary."
 * Editing in good faith.

 * To Netoholic's response: It is impossible to resolve a dispute if you are performing the very same disputed action while we are negotiating it. You showed that you have no interest in resolution by deleting my comments the second you read them. Vacuum c 02:50, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

Response
This is a summary written by the user whose conduct is disputed, or by other users who think that the dispute is unjustified and that the above summary is biased or incomplete.

Challenging the certification
I challenge the certifications based primarily on the fact that no assertion that any policies have been broken - the only citation is of a general guideline. Also, I challenge the individual certifications as follow :
 * Vacuum - has decided that, within the space of one day, he has tried and failed to resolve this. He has provided no evidence to this effect, but rather considers revert warring on my Talk page (as himself and User:198.169.140.30, a known IP of his) in an attempt to push this from minor disagreement into open conflict.
 * zen-master - has not offered any evidence of himself "trying and failing" to resolve this issue.

As such, I ask those editors directly to withdraw their signatures. If they fail to do so, I ask the community to agree that the certifications are invalid. -- Netoholic @

Users who endorse this summary (sign with ~ ):

Direct response
I consider my User talk: page as my "Inbox". It is there as a transient record of on-going collaboration efforts. When a conversation, or informational post, has outlived its usefulness, it will be removed. Comments left on my talk page of a trolling nature, or actions such as improperly restoring it after I've cleared outdated topics, are things no user can be expected to tolerate. If a comment left on my page deserves a response, I will respond on the other users page, since that is how the notification system works. Long term conversations are eligible to be moved to the appropriate namespace Talk pages.

Quite a few editors here follow this same principle, or at least respect that viewpoint. That being said, User page is not policy. It is a loose guideline which I feel I am not abusing. Certainly, I am not engaged in an effort to hide critical views of me.

The user's certifying above have committed worse offences in pursuing this subject. In particular, all are guilty of trolling and revert warring on my user page. -- Netoholic @ 08:44, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC)

 * 3) Very Verily 15:24, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC) This is ludicrous.  People can remove what they don't want from their own talk page.  (Caveat: I can't comment on the accuracy of the last paragraph.)

Outside view
This is a summary written by users not directly involved with the dispute but who would like to add an outside view of the dispute.

Netoholic does seem to clear items from his talk page with an alarming high frequency sometimes, and this makes it difficult to locate parts of older dialogs. A more appropriate way to clear a talk page is either to move it bodily to an archive page, or to cut and paste items into an archive page created for the purpose. These methods require a minimum of maintenance effort and provide you and other users with a complete record of conversations on your talk page.

Outside view 2
This is a summary written by users not directly involved with the dispute but who would like to add an outside view of the dispute.

Most editors don't mind a little criticism on their talk page, so they refrain from removing comments in the interest of preserving discussion. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with blanking one's own talk page. It's your inbox, it's in your user space, and you have full control over its contents. While blanking one's talk page may not be considered nice or acceptable by most of us, Netoholic didn't do anything against the rules.

Outside view 3
This is a summary written by users not directly involved with the dispute but who would like to add an outside view of the dispute.

Netoholic challenges certification. He has documented his challenge properly in the response section of this RfC, a move which I welcome. However he has also taken it upon himself to move the RfC listing out of the "accepted" list and back into the list marked "Candidate pages - still need to meet the two person threshold". The problem with this is that, if acceptance by the subject of the RfC is a criterion, no RfC will ever make it into the accepted list.

I have every reason to believe that those who brought this RfC did so in good faith although I think some aspects of their own behavior was questionable. The way for us to bring this into the open is to treat a good-faith RfC seriously and not play games with whether it is or is not a valid RfC. Netoholic gets right of reply and that is enough.

I am coming to the conclusion that complaints against Netoholic have a valid basis--that he is given to unilateral actions of this type, and then is reluctant to discuss them afterwards and just wipes them from his talk page. This is not proper behavior for an administrator. I caution him that if he continues to act in a dictatorial manner he is likely to bring administrators in general into disrepute, and may accordingly suffer the censure of his fellows. (see below) This pattern is the cause of his problems.

In any case, this RFC was moved to "Accepted" by the person who opened it in the first place (note the minor edit flag used and lack of an edit summary).  That is improper, and should only be done by an uninvolved party who has looked at the certifications and my challenge.  Tony, why not ask me first before assuming such bad faith on my part by raising this "Outside View"? -- Netoholic @ 03:48, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

Talk:List of United States branch mints

Untitled
Moved all this info to United States Mint as requested by a user on that talk page. I've left this page up for now because I'm not completely happy with ditching the tabular format, though I don't think there's a non-intrusive way to integrate a table into the United States Mint page. Chris Lawson 03:45, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Should the wiki-links go to the cities of origin, or the articles on the mints themselves?
Here is an example: The listing for the "Denver, Colorado" mint is linked to the Wikipedia article about the city, not the Wikipedia article about the Denver mint.

What are your thoughts: Should the links go to the mints, or to the cities?

Guroadrunner 20:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Should go to the mint article first. Maybe it should say "Denver Mint in Denver, Colorado."   Jo  e  I  21:51, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, to the mint article first. The city should not be mentioned.  The mint page provides a very easy further link to the city, more naturally.  Lalaith (talk) 03:51, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Category talk:Cities in Western Australia

I would like to suggest that this category be removed. I believe that category category:Western Australian cities should not be distinguished from the category category:Western Australian towns, because of the tendency to become confused between whether a place is a town or a city. For example, Geraldton was previously listed in the town category, whereas it is in fact a city. Similarly, Kalgoorlie is currently listed as a town, whereas Kalgoorlie-Boulder is a city, and Kalgoorlie is only a town in an informal sense; formally, it is not a local government area at all. A category "towns and cities of Western Australia" is an option, but I believe that this would simply duplicate the category category:Local Government Areas of Western Australia (see Local Government Areas of Western Australia for its potential content). Your opinion? (I have placed a similar comment on the category:Western Australian towns talk page.) Snottygobble 03:46, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I would like to retract the above suggestion. It seems that a place can be a (lower case) town, in the sense that it has been gazetted, without being an (upper case) Town, that is, a Local Government Area of Western Australia. Similarly, the vernacular meaning of city is different from the local government area of type City. Snottygobble 04:00, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Miji people

The Miji, (or Sajolang) are a social group of Arunachal Pradesh, India. They are located in various districts of Arunachal Pradesh including the West Kameng, East Kameng and Kurung Kumey.Their population of 37,000 are found near the lower parts of the sub-Himalayan hills bordering Assam; they speak the Sajalong language.

Etymology
The two separate terms Mai, which means fire, and Ji, which signifies giver, are combined to form the word Miji. The word/name came into being after the Hrusso community regarded the Sajolang/Dammai people for their gracious help during the past (pre-historic period).

Dress

The traditional costume of Miji women consists of an ankle-length white garment with a beautifully decorated red jacket. Unlike the majority of other tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, India; the Miji people wear silver ornaments, and glass/brass based necklaces. Indigenous cosmetics are made from pine resin and coal ( specially during marriage ceremonies). The traditional dress of Miji community constitute of (1)_Grii za (cotton cloth), (2)_ornamental beads, (3)_silver/Bamboo crown, (4)_Gichin thay ( long cotton cloth, red in colour, which serves as a belt), (5)_waichin ( sword ), (6)_Lai lo (cotton cloth to cover lower portion of legs), (7)_Lai Drangk (ornamental beads to keep Lai lo intact), and other ornaments including necklaces, bangles and ear tops.

Religion

Most Miji are adherents of Animism, although a few have adopted Christianity. The Mijis practise a distinct religion which rely entirely on nature and god ( nature- being the replica of god); Mijis believe that god prevail in every aspects of nature, such as trees, water tributaries and even stones. Chindang, marked every 15 October, is considered the main festival of the Mijis, inhabiting the Lada circle of the East Kameng district, Sarli region of the Kurung Kumey district and Nafra and Bomdila Sub-Division of the West Kameng district with a few of them also found in the Assam-Arunachal border towns of Sessa and Bhalukpong who settled down there some time ago because of better access to facilities. Culturally and linguistically, the Miji and Hrusso Akas form a cognate group. Their ancestors are called Bor(Robo),or the brother of Tanis, like the Nyishis, Apatanis, Tagins, Galos and the Adis which share common features but are also distinct in themselves. Robo being the elder brother and Nyibo (tani) being younger are actual brothers, who belonged to same father.

There is some Buddhist influence as a result of long-standing cultural contacts with Buddhist tribes to the west, and the celebration of Losar as well as the usage of prayer flags are some indicators of this.

Classification
The Mijis or the Sajolangs are classified under three categories :

Western Miji
The Mijis inhabiting the Bomdila-Nafra division in West Kameng district are recognized as the Western Miji.

Eastern Miji
Occupying the Lada-Bana tract in the East Kameng district, one can find a sizeable amount of the group well adjusted with the Akas, their very brethren tribe and the comparatively larger tribe Nyishi. The eastern Mijis shares little contrast in terms of language vocabulary with their western counterparts and together they institute the broader Sajolang group.

Northern Miji
The third is the most debilitated and ambiguous group known as Bangru, also known as Bengru in China. Not very much studies have been done on this group and the tribe lives in acute isolation. These groups are mainly found in Sarli circle and the numerous adjacent villages in Kurung Kumey district. Researchers have also claimed that this same people are also found in Longzi County, Shannan Prefecture in China where they are categorised under the wider Lhoba ethnicity.

Flensburg radar detector

The FuG 227 Flensburg was a German passive radar receiver developed by Siemens & Halske and introduced into service in early 1944. It used wing and tail-mounted dipole antennae and was sensitive to the mid-VHF band frequencies of 170–220 MHz, subharmonics of the Monica radar's 300 MHz transmissions. It allowed Luftwaffe nightfighters to home in on the Monica tail warning radar fitted to RAF bombers.

An RAF bomber with Monica radar crashed in German-occupied territory in February 1943 allowing for the development of Flensburg. The British set was captured just seven days into its operational life in February 1943. On the morning of 13 July 1944, a Junkers Ju 88G-1 night fighter of 7.Staffel/NJG 2 equipped with Flensburg landed at RAF Woodbridge by mistake and was captured. When British military scientists examined the Flensburg equipment, they quickly realised its purpose and informed the RAF, who ordered Monica to be withdrawn from all RAF Bomber Command aircraft.

Subsequently, further variants of Flensburg (Flensburg II to Flensburg VI) were developed for detecting Allied radar jammers. Only Flensburg II and III were used operationally.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Emk. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Emk~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:43, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Stephen Dunifer

Stephen Dunifer (born 1951/1952) is an American radio engineer, author and anarchist socialist who founded Free Radio Berkeley in 1993 Berkeley, California.

Free Radio Berkeley, an unlicensed micropower pirate radio station, was an expression of Dunifer's socialist anarchist principles, and was inspired by Black Liberation Radio in Springfield, Illinois and by Japanese micropower radio stations. Free Radio Berkeley was involved in a protracted legal case with the Federal Communications Commission in the mid-1990s. At the time, it was illegal to broadcast on less than 100 watts.
