Ragnarok Wrestling

I noticed that you closed the AfD for Ragnarok Wrestling but not the other article included in that AfD, Mitch Brown (wrestler). Is there a reason why not? -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:04, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see that 4.159.253.121 (talk · contribs) illegally removed the notice on January 2nd, the second time someone from a 4.159.x.x address did that. I caught it the first time, somehow missed it the second. -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I usually try to avoid fancy formatting but the next time I have a multi-article nomination like that I'll try to find something to make the multiple articles more prominent. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Saugeen stripper? Where did it GO????

You say my article stays because there was clearly no consensus, but it has disappeared? Any idea where it went? How to get it back? whats going on? Tokyojoe2002 18:13, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

What is my recourse? How did you even find this info out? Is he an admin? is he higher admin than you? Why did he just trump the process like this? This doesnt seem fair? Tokyojoe2002 18:30, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. Seems the page is back up. Still somewhat unclear on the chain of command. Glad to see I was not alone in feeling the deletion was unwarranted and out of process. Thanks again, sorry for pestering you! Tokyojoe2002 18:43, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: AfD closure

Thanks for telling me about that. I'll make sure to do that now.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 08:36, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Did you know...

Originally, the notation article you deleted was at N5?? I moved it, see the dis-ambiguation page's history for when. Then, I made the dis-ambiguation page, and then the notation article was removed. Isn't this unusual in Wikipedia?? Georgia guy

a little check

Hi Mindmatrix - perhaps you could do a quick check on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Podcast Alley to make sure the close is correct as filtering out new users/GNAA etc. it is rather close (I myself voted to delete it so I don't think I am biased) WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 07:13, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Claridge Homes

This article, Claridge Homes, was deleted by you when you closed the afd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claridge Homes. It was re-created and speedied deleted. It is back again. --maclean25 02:17, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Backwoods Terror

hey why do you keep on deleting Backwoods Terror and Dr. Grim. Backwoods Terror is a movie in production and is not a "for fun" movie that is being made.

Hamilton, California

Regarding my edit: I have no idea what I was thinking when I did that. Based on this diff, maybe I edited an older version without realizing it. But yes, it was absolutely a mistake - sorry for the confusion. :) --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 18:19, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Kalinga Institute for Industrial Training

Hi, Thanks for the note on this. It seems to me that KIIT is a degree-granting institution with an Master in Technology M.Tech and a 4-year Degree in Engineering (B.Tech) [1]. IBAT is the school that runs their MBA programme [2]. Personally I go for your option 1, Move to Institute of Business Administration and Training. Dlyons493 Talk 01:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ibat

Hi, I've updated this AfD with some info, and am notifying everyone who has participated in the discussion so far. I'm doing this because I think some users have misunderstood what Ibat is. Please read my comments at the AfD, and if you wish, update your comments. Thanks! Mindmatrix 00:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The point is moot now as the AFD was closed (as no consensus, default to keep) before I got to it. Thanks for keeping me informed. Stifle 10:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Help on Canada page

Hey Mindmatrix, I was wondering if you could help find references for the Canada page. There's a list of sections that needs references on the Talk:Canada page, and people are signing up to find references for each section. Thanks. -- Jeff3000 18:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

• Hey, I just wanted to thank you for reverting the vandalism to my page. That's the second time this has happened this week. I have a feeling that User:Chlamid is the same person as User:Mustbe (the one who did it last time) and User:70.29.239.249. pm_shef 00:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

My thanks as well

For your comments about the Upper Canada College incident. In wielding the awesome powers accorded to administrators, I am always concerned that I am unfairly trampling on the rights of vandals, trolls and POV-pushers. I am reassured that you do not see my actions as unreasonable. Regards, Ground Zero | t 15:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Heads up

Mind, I have had that article under semi-protection for about a week now, which is longer than semi-protection is intended for. I think that I should lift s-p tomorrow as an experiment to see if we can get back to normal editing. The article would need careful monitoring, and a willingness to return to semi-protection if disruption returns. Your thoughts? Ground Zero | t 18:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again for your contribution to resolving this dispute. With all possible fingers crossed, I have lifted semi-protection. Regards, Ground Zero | t 18:02, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I probably inflamed the situation a bit; I was in a rather foul mood that day, which is rather atypical of me. I rarely let myself react so strongly to anything. Oh well, the situation seems to be resolved, or at least much calmer... Mindmatrix 18:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Note: I've removed two messages from a user that has otherwise been vandalizing Wikipedia. Check the history to read them. Mindmatrix 12:35, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia survey

Hi. I'm doing a survey of Wikipedia editors as part of a class research project. It's quick, anonymous, and the data will be made available to the Wikipedia community later this month. Would you like to take part? More info here. Thanks! Nonplus 01:11, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Intermidate Capacity Transit System

You may be interested in this article. Check the history to see who created it before I redirected it to Bombardier Advanced Rapid Transit. Regards, Ground Zero | t 19:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Honestly, I didn't need to check the history. Such intuition seems to have become integrated in my subconscious cognitive functions. By the way, thanks for notifying me about this. Mindmatrix 18:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Linking dates

The MoS is wrong. If you don't link dates, they don't show up properly according to the preferences each user sets, such as one person may want to see it as April 12, but I have mine set so I see it as 12 April, for example. Ardenn 18:32, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

King City Secondary School and Template: Infobox Education in Canada

Nice update to King City Secondary School. In case you grabbed the template usage from another school, note that there are many optional fields to the template. The full documentation for the Canadian school infobox can be found here: {{Infobox Education in Canada}}. Thanks for your contribution! --Stephane Charette 03:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Canadian collaboration changes?

Please read/comment at Wikipedia_talk:Canada_collaboration#Overhauling and re-evaluating the CC, thank You. feydey 10:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

WP:MF

I noticed that you posted some comments at Mirrors and forks. I realize this becoming a rather big problem as Wikipedia grows, but less important as editors move away from it. I would suggest you to create individual entries to the WP:MF so future editors can send e-mail and/or DMCA requests to shut down the mirror/fork. You can help us even more by doing that exactly though: sending e-mails and/or DMCA requests. We are doing quite well with e-mails currently, but it would be great if you can help us send DMCA requests, since nobody has been able to help us with it so far. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- WB 06:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

You addition regarding Palmer Road is the best thing I've read for months - and I've read alot these past months! Fantastic! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.245.213 (talk • contribs)

If you're talking about this edit, it wasn't made by me. I've reverted it; thanks for bringing it to my attention. Mindmatrix 02:03, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Good article? Poss. featured?

Hello! As a Wikipedia admin, and an experienced user of the encyclopedia, I was wondering if you would give your opinion regarding the NPA Personality Theory article. Its author and myself have discussed the possibilities for what is now very much a complete article. Reading the "Good" article criteria, one can see that the article meets all of the criteria required. If you share this view then adding the "Good" article tab and perhaps giving some advice as to further improvement would be very much appreciated. The diverse nature of the subject matter could merit it a possible future featured article. Thanks a lot for your help! -- D-Katana 14:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Area codes

Actually, I created redirects at all the single stand-alone area code titles, so, for example, both Area code 905 and Area code 289 exist as redirects to the Area code 905/289 title. Basically my reasoning was so that when one looks at Category:Area codes in Canada, one can see all the active area codes in Canada, instead of some being visible as titles and others existing only as hidden redirects. (Although, for what it's worth, I might have done it differently if I'd known what I know now, namely that it is possible to put a category link on a redirect page, and it will still function correctly as both a redirect and a title in the category.)

I'd be open to discussing other ways to handle them, but that was my reasoning and the single-code titles already do all exist as redirects. Bearcat 18:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah...there are always some situations where there's really no simple solution at all... Bearcat 18:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Pembroke, & whether it sucks or not

You don't suppose there'd be a way to have PembrokeSucks.com added to the Wikimedia spam blacklist so that it can't be readded? Bearcat 20:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Spam Help

Hi Mindmatrix. I see you recently blocked user 207.35.6.2 for spamming/vandalism. Sadly (s)he is at it again in the Sudoku article. Is it sensible to give this person anymore warnings?? --angusj 22:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

New member

Hi there. I just recived you messege. And i agree with what you say.. But i dont remembers blanking any sites If you could sand me a link ill make sure to finsh whatever i started. As for the Boyd park photo, i know what you mean about the sign.. Im waiting for the weekend to end, so i can go over there to take more photos without having to pay admission. ;) Please send me a link to those articles you said i blanked. I have never removed all the content from any article on this site. im 100% sure of that. Unless you are talkin about the TALK page in one of my articles. Then yes. I removed a dumb comment made by Atrian. It made no sence. He obviously didnt read the article before posting it. If thats the blanking case that your talking about? Well now i know. Thanx Hubert Derus 18:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

You showed support for the selection of a Canada Collaboration. This month George-Étienne Cartier was selected for improvement. We hope you can contribute.

Article move request

Hey Mindmatrix. Would you mind moving Île René-Levasseur to René-Levasseur Island? The article already uses the English version of the name, but was never moved because there's a redirect at the other name. I know I could list it at WP:RM but there's a million unnecessary steps to follow, and you can do it so easily. ;-) Thanks. --NormanEinstein 13:17, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. I'm sure someone will complain about this, but the move made sense. Mindmatrix 13:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, sir. :-) --NormanEinstein 14:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Baldwin

Duh. Fried brain is my. Bearcat 03:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I thought it was still normal for us to use "Township" in the title if there was still a disambiguation requirement (such as Baldwin or Robinson, where there are submunicipal communities elsewhere in the province with the same name). If that's wrong, my apologies, but there are still quite a few cases at Category:Townships of Ontario (which, in retrospect, should also maybe be moved to "in Ontario") where "Township" is present in the title. Bearcat 19:21, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

World Cup page

I thought people might want to know who won man of the match in all of the matches....i know a few people who do wish to know that information. DOnt you think it is valid info? Also i dont think it is biased info or advertising simply because it is the FIFA Technical Study Group(TSG) That chooses the article themselves....here's a link to the TSG and what they do http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/enwiki/w/tsg/index.html Shot007 01:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

WKR article

Hello,

Since you are the originator of the WKR article, I wanted to suggest a name change for this article. Since CWKR its official ICAO identifier, so it would be better to use that or maybe King City (radar). What do you think?

Pierre_cb 2006-06-14 1634 GMT

All aviation sites is Canada begins with "C" according to ICAO. EC is using the shorter form without the C. Pierre_cb 2006-06-14 1734 GMT

Kettleby copyvio

Regarding your recent catch of the copyvio on the Kettleby website: holy crap, that was awesome. -Joshuapaquin 01:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Laskay

A one sentance article like your Laskay page (and others) can hardly even be called a stub. You might want to think about giving someone else a chance at starting an article. Someone who actually has more then a sentance of information. I dont think its fair to other editors who go out and do research only to findout that the article has already been started by someone who has done absolutly none. This isnt a contest for who can start more articles. Grow up. 65.49.129.103 02:43, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

If this isn't a contest about who starts articles, then what does it matter which stubs I create? In this case, I created stubs for all articles pertaining to the township of King, and I've been slowly adding content to them. It doesn't appear that anyone has rushed to add any content to these articles since they were created, does it? And as far as research is concerned, the only information I add to articles is that which I've researched - I spend a great deal of time finding information and contributing it to Wikipedia. Also, note that a quick perusal of an article's history, and obtaining diffs between versions, tells you exactly what content was contributed by whom, so it's not as if the article's creator is taking undue credit. In short, you're entitled to your opinion, but I don't find it valid. Mindmatrix 18:43, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Anti-Canadianism

I get why you took the link I added off the Canada Day page, but I think it was rather unfair to remove it from anti-Cnadianism. I believe it puts anti-Cnadianism in context and really adds something to this page. Tearfree 13:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

World Cup 2006 edits

You're right, I thought it was being alphabetized incorrectly, but the edits were, in fact, correct. You were right to revert me. Thanks -- Deville (Talk) 18:16, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I have to admit that I only looked at the diff, and when I saw him put Serbia under "KSA", I thought he was putting things out of order, because for whatever reason I was thinking "South Korea" for KSA. I hang my head in shame... :) -- Deville (Talk) 18:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

South Gwillimbury

I have never heard of South Gwillimbury. I've seen a lot of old maps of this area as well, though more interested in York County than Simcoe. I'd be willing to bet that there has never been a South Gwillimbury. (Of course, the other Gwillimburys are West and East.) DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it appears they have mistaken attached the South reference from Simcoe County to West Gwillimbury. The 1861 Census of Canada West shows no South Gwillimbury and the source you found relates events happening in South Gwillimbury in 1860. Cheers! DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Page Moves

Thanks for the link, and any cleanups you can do there, I was just flailing around in the dark there, running around in circles trying to read how to do something. As I stated, they shouldn't have moved the pages to begin with (possibility of commercial connections between the movers and the companys behind it). I sure hope I don't have to move any more pages. That's a LOT of work :( Thanks for the help, --Ozzy 98 00:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Yea the names seem ok, Guy is moving some stuff around too, so I'll let him handel stuff, I've made too many waves as-is. I'm still trying to find some more info on just what happened, some people seem to think the only reason he switched jobs was because the new company wanted his name, and the Ethereal name. And I've not seen anyone mention why HE doesn't own the rights to Ethereal, so it may be a case of him getting something out of giving up the name. --Ozzy 98 00:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Copyvios

No problem. I usually don't do that because Wikipedia:Copyright violations seems to allow copyvio revisions in history. Conscious 21:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Geography

Either way is fine. The trend in geographical entries has been comma seperated text. We just moved all the New York City entries for neighborhoods to comma seperated, it was 50-50 between the two standards. We kept the parenthetical info as a redirect. Anyway most of the cemeteries I added, have been deleted.

ok

You got nothin better to do but to go around and act like some kind of authority on the net.??? whahahahaha. Must suck to be a dork in real life and on the net, eh? Dont bother answering its not important. Get a life. But i must say i do enjoy looking through your one sentance articles, and laughing at them with other people. Face it. You'll never be respected no matter how many useless edits you make. Take a hint pal. Be yourself, by yourself. Sign out type somethin with your IP and log in and pretend like your talkin with someone in the same talk page... Dood you're retarded. How many log ins do you have? Half the comments on this page were probably posted by you... dOrk. Fix your garbage articles first, then you can bring your imaginary friends over here and comment on articles others have written. Look, we must obviously live near by...... And King is such a small town. Almost anybody knows everybody.. Im gonna walk around saying ur nick Mindmatrix all over the place... and one day ill get you to slip up. Ill talk to someone you know.... And when i do.. I will stick MY nose in your business.. But when i do.... You wont be makin anymore edits for a while. Mindmatrix? Mmmmmindmatrix ?! dOrk.

Dont bother answering its not important. Get a life

If answering isn't important, then neither is your message. Oh, and the only people who use the statement get a life are those that know they're losing the argument.

Must suck to be a dork in real life and on the net, eh?

I must admit, you must be intellectually superior and extremely insightful to determine my true character from a small sample of my life. I wish I had those skills.

You'll never be respected

Respect is earned; whether I achieve that or not is immaterial, but I have a strong record of positive contributions here. How about you?

Dood you're retarded. How many log ins do you have?

Unlike you, I use one, and only one, account here on Wikipedia. Anything I have to say, I say it through this one account - I don't log out and post anonymously to other user's talk pages.

Half the comments on this page were probably posted by you

I have signed all comments posted by me on this page. I have no other alias here.

And King is such a small town. Almost anybody knows everybody

That's patently absurd bullshit. There are 20,000 people that live in the township (not town).

Im gonna walk around saying ur nick Mindmatrix all over the place...

And you think I'm the dork?

and one day ill get you to slip up

What does that mean? I'm far too rational, and think through my actions, to fall for any sophomoric stunt.

And when i do.. I will stick MY nose in your business.. But when i do.... You wont be makin anymore edits for a while.

Nothing you do or say is going to affect my life, or how I conduct it, in any way. I am not a weak-minded fool that submits to the whims of an anonymous troll.

I will stick MY nose in your business

Isn't that called stalking? There are laws against that, you know.

Well, that was fun...Mindmatrix 14:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

MFer just Try me

File:P7040270.JPG

i got a small present for you, its just a picture. Why dont you quote me some more wikipedia rules and regulations. I gatta problem with you sticking your nose in everyones business. Like making edits to my USER page'.. (excuse the intrusion he says) Are you retarded? Who asked you bro? Turn off the comp and go outside for a bit. You've been indoors for too long. Where ever i got i run into you. So let me say this real slow so you can understand.. Wikipedia is not my entire life like you. Keep your dumbass edits to yourself. Take a hint. I dno how tough you think you are, but you're dealing with some serious people here. And i really dont wanna have to resort to using the reverse directory. I hear they do IP's and phone numbers now. ;) But if you EVER use MY name again, i will. Im here to have some fun and add some info to wiki. NOT to listen to you talk. I have to listen to the woman all week (you wouldnt know anything about that anyway) and i wanna take some time off and enjoy my wikihobby. EVERY SINGLE article ive started ive seen you making completly pointless edits. You must be sick. Do you really think im some computer nerd that spend his entire life makin edits and spelling corrections on wikipedia? HAHA Or mabey you think im a trash talker.? Either or, if you think im affreid of prison or of you belive me IM NOT. Ill go back to jail, and ill wake up every morning smiling, knowing you're in a hospital paralized from the neck down and learning how to eat solid foods and to walk again. Now Please! Hurry up and post another one of your administrator wannabe messeges here, ohhhK? Ill show you civil you clueless little punk. F*CK YOU! <--- Is this clear enough for you.? P*ssy.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.49.129.103 (talk • contribs) .

The word is pussy. Are you too afraid to spell a simple word?

Now, since you've been posting on my talk page as an anonymous editor, with IP 65.49.129.103, I know I haven't used your name before. However, if you're a registered Wikipedia user, then why are you so afraid of posting using your account? Also, what I do with my personal time is my business; you don't get a say in the issue. Period.

By the way, since you clearly don't understand how reverse directories work - you can't look up Mindmatrix to get a phone number. Seriously. Surprising as it may seem, Mindmatrix is not my real name, it's not my IP, it's just an alias. And in any event, I haven't had a phone (landline or cell) for years. Saves me plenty of money! And wherever I go, there's a phone right there - no big loss, huh?

I'll make one promise to you - I'll never edit your userpage again. As for articles, they can be edited, by anyone at anytime, and that's not going to change. Nobody owns articles on Wikipedia. Deal with it.

I don't particularly care for your interest in Schadenfreude, but thanks for mentioning it. Mindmatrix 00:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Lobo

Hi. Im writing under a different name now as you can see. Im here to apologize for the previous posts you received. And im sorry for calling you annoying earlier. Im not a real internet savy person, i sleep all day and work all nite. So i use the comp at work when i have some free time, just to wikisurf. But i leave my desk often. I realized that one of my idotic co-workers was playin a game with the two of us. Mabey trying to pit us against each other. I received some messeges with your nick which i thought were rude and i deleted them and its obviouse that you received messeges that were meant to look like they came from me. Well, this is quite embarrassing but i fell for it hook line and sinker like the dumb son of a trout that i am. But id like to think that im man enough to apologize when im the reason for the chaos. I hope you understand and you can forgive me im sure it wont happen again couse ive changed my name and password and i will always log out when i leave the comp. I noticed something was wrong when i got your last messege about the picture. I was quite shocked when i saw that dead rat photo and it said it was posted my me.! I did take the picture, but it wasnt meant for you. I was having a smoke outside the shop and saw it so i took a pic. :S Yea i know, THATS retarded LMAO. But i know who it was that was messing with my account and leaving you these STUPID and Unfair comments. SOo Im rambling now i know.... But i really dont mind if you like to remove the KingHorn cemetery article. I do know many people who like to visit OLD CEMETERIES so that why i posted it. I was gonna post some more too. I know it might be kind of morbid but for europeans like me there arnt many old things to admire here in Canada and the cemeteries are quite common and interesting to us/me.. LMAO Talk about rambling. I almost got into a fight with RZA the iranian prick that was leaving all this nonsence on both our pages so im a little steamed.. plz forgive the bad spelling. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to edit some things on my page THANK YOU. Im still new. But im getting the hang of it daily. I hope this didnt create any hurt feelings between us... I actually think a prank like this is quite funny, as long as i NEVER fall for it again.. Anyhooo.. Hope ill see you around again. Please disregard the comments i made on the claireville article, the stuff about you beeing annoying and getting you **** wet. This was before i found out about the set up by the clowns here at my work. Ok I think i should get back to work for a bit now. Again.. i hope you can forgive me, im quite embarrassed by this whole outcome. I was walking around throwing things untill they told me the jig was up. lol. Take Care. See you around Lobo 21:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
