3RR

Boothy, just a friendly reminder that you need to be careful about violating WP:3RR. While doing RC patrol, I stumbled upon Fox Chase, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and noticed that you had reverted four times in less than 24 hours. In the future, please don't do this, unless it is a clear-cut case of simple vandalism. Thanks for all your hard work, and happy editing! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 21:29, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This would go for all the Philadelphia sections. Please discuss those changes on the talk page and do not violate 3RR. If you continue to do so, I will have no choice but to temporarily block you. Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 21:36, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Um no, considering that the move was never discussed in the first place, i see no point in discussing an improper move. So i'll just move it back to where it was in the first place. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 21:40, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Boothy, please don't do that one more time. While I see your side, it really doesn't matter whether the redirect is "right" or "wrong"- WP:3RR clearly states that no revert is allowed after 3 reverts in a 24 hour time period, unless it is simple vandalism or self-reverts. I urge you to stop reverting and leave the editors who are reverting you a note in order to resolve your differences. If you continue to violate 3RR, I will block you. Thanks for your understanding. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 21:57, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
NO, and you ovibously do not see my side, becaus if you did you you realise that the "enforcment" of this one sided policy is incorrect, but not as if i would expect anything different. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 22:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad to see that you have stopped reverting the pages. One sided policy? Can you clarify that? Why do you feel that WP:3RR is one-sided? Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You are in danger of violating the three revert rule. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. --Ryan Delaney talk 22:24, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Boothy, bud, just make it easy on yourself and leave it for a while. I don't know anything about the subject, but why don't you all start discussing the naming controversy on the relevant talk page, rather than getting into another edit war? The JPS 22:39, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

templates

Hi - I've done a fair amount with templates. What are you trying to do? -- Rick Block (talk) 03:45, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

So, just to make sure I understand, you want the box where the flag and seal are to have only the seal (as in the current invocation), only the flag, both, or none - all depending on the presence of the "flag" and "seal" parameters? -- Rick Block (talk) 04:07, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
I'll think about it. Do you know user:Rorro? S/he seems to be the creator of Template:If defined call1. Seems like you might need a variant. I haven't figured out exactly how Template:If defined call1 works yet. I'll think about and let you know if I figure out an answer. -- Rick Block (talk) 04:17, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
No answer yet - still thinking. Per below, Radiant seems to think it's not a good idea anyway. I've asked what s/he'd suggest instead. I'll keep thinking, but I probably won't have much time until the weekend. Just letting you know current status. -- Rick Block (talk) 23:11, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

re:my RFA

I was wondering what was keeping you, I assumed you'd vote oppose as soon as my RFA was posted up, anyway, I just wanted to leave you a note to remind you to update your votecount when you vote. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 07:06, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Trenton

Do you understand what ambiguity is? Having an article called "Trenton Rail Station" is a perfect example. Trenton is a disambiguation page because there are many places called Trenton. --SPUI (talk) 07:29, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's hella better than what you keep moving it to. --SPUI (talk) 07:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that works, though that station wasn't always the main one in Trenton. That could be disambigged though. --SPUI (talk) 07:48, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Until around 1865, the Northeast Corridor between Trenton and Monmouth Junction was not built - instead the main line went along the Delaware and Raritan Canal. [1] shows the old station. There was also the Reading station at the end of the branch from West Trenton at Five Points, shown on [2] - that existed until that branch was abandoned. --SPUI (talk) 07:59, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rfa Voting

I know you have a tendency to oppose everyone, and I respect your right to vote the way you want. But, a lot of people are opposing Celestianpower's nomination. You could go with the flow and oppose, or you could make a statement and support her. Acetic Acid 08:13, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Scratch that. May I ask what your voting policy is? I see you support some people, while opposing others. Acetic Acid 08:16, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for responding. Those sound reasonable. I wish others knew you weren't acting in bad faith. Acetic Acid 08:47, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
Hmmm... all right. Seems like a fair argument. I'm not sure if "Jimmy" is starting a cult, but whatever. By the way, it was hilarious that he clicked the gay porno link while at a conference. XD Good night Jason. Acetic Acid 08:57, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
I thought he said someone else sent him an e-mail. They were monitoring your behavior or something. Then, he came across it by accident. Acetic Acid 09:01, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, that was bad timing on Jimbo's part. I think the only reason he removed the link was because it disables the computer temporarily (very difficult to close all the windows, may have to restart the computer). Anyway, I'll see you around, probably at the RfA. I do hope you don't oppose Asbestos' nom. But you have a right to vote however you want. Acetic Acid 08:50, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Philly WikiProject

I can help when I have time. --Luciuskwok 09:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also, let me know if there are any articles about the western suburbs or the northwest part of Philadelphia that need work. --Luciuskwok 12:16, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Removed inappropriate link, blocked for 17 seconds

I removed a highly inappropriate link from your toolbox page and blocked you for 17 seconds as punishment.  :-) Please don't do that again. I got a complaint and I'm at a Major International Corporation today getting donations for us to buy more servers, and they let me do email from here. And I got a complaint about your page. And I clicked on the link. And it was Not Work Safe. So, please, that's not the sort of thing we ought to be doing here.--Jimbo Wales 19:39, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I further strongly recommend that you do not place any offensive links on that page or I will remove them again. And I also recommend that you discuss this with me like a mature adult rather than insulting me, and that if you don't, you may be cordially invited to permanently leave the project, ok? We are trying to do something useful here; this is not your playground.--Jimbo Wales 15:05, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I am just curious if youplan on remove other "offencive" material from the user pages of others, i would have to say that is seriously doubtful, as for mature, i dont i didnt see you discussing it with me befor hand or asking me to remove it, how would you like it if i wnet to you page and started to remove things that i found offencive then tell you that, i am sure you would not, so no i dont consider your actions mature. So you keep on being a hippocrate and i'll keep on doing my thing. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 21:48, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rl

I understand that you usually oppose RFA's, but I was wondering if you could perhaps take another look at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rl. RI is basically identifying policy flaws in VFD, and others are opposing him for doing so!! He doesn't seem afraid not to follow the crowd. What you might find ammusing is that he had a 100% support vote (12!) until Spalsh opposed [3], then everyone followed suit!! In this case, then, your support vote would be making the point your opposing normally does. I think that makes sense... The JPS 21:02, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. :) The JPS 21:37, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever you feel comfortable with. No hard feelings if you do. The JPS 21:47, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NPA

Please remember NPA, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. --fvw* 22:09, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Greetings. I'd like to ask you why you have links to shock sites on your toolbox. I know you know that they upset quite a few people, some of whom know what they are and some of whom don't. I don't know if you give any value to my opinion, but I'd like to ask you to take them off, for the same reason that I'd ask anyone who has content deliberately intended to shock, offend, or insult other users to remove it from their userpage. I believe it's detrimental to Wikipedia when someone has such things in their userspace, because it seems like a deliberate insult to everyone in the community who will come across it. I find it hard to work with someone who has stated the desire for me to "piss off", and by having that link it your user space it seems as if you're saying that to everyone. You make a lot of good contributions to Wikipedia, but things like this make it difficult for others to work with you despite that, and we are a community to build an encyclopedia, not just a bunch of people working alone who never come in contact with each other.

I'm not going to remove it from your page, but I'd really appreciate it if you would do so yourself. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 03:35, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry he'll probably remove this whole section. Wayne Brady style. Redwolf24 (talk) 09:13, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
