Something Awful

You're right-- IIRC, PayPal dropped them because of the porn forum. --Ryan Delaney ^talk 22:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re John Rex

I have attempted to discuss this matter with the contributor (see talk:John Rex) previously. Perhaps a third party comment there (from you) might help? LessHeard vanU 23:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have noted (and thank you for) your comments on the talk page. The contributor, an old school scholar, needs helping toward providing a decent little article - I hope/think it is worthwhile. Cheers. LessHeard vanU 23:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of the tone tage to Peter Maffay

Hi Wafulz. I was just wondering if you could clarify the addition of the ton tag to this article for me please? It states that the article is not written in the formal style of an encyclopedia article, yet the article entered on the English Wiki is a direct translation of th one on the German Wikipedia, which is where I translated it from. If you could suggest to me some ways in which the article needs improvement, or give me some guidance as to why you added the tone tag, it would help me to reform the article and bring it up to standard. Thanks. Thor Malmjursson 12:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information you left for me with regards to this article. I realise from reading the bits you left just why you say that its not written in the formal style. I don't have monopoly on the article, so please feel free to change anything else you don't agree with within the text. I will change some of the stuff you told me about and if you feel that there is anything else wrong, feel free to help and review the article once the things have been changed. Once again, thanks for your help and input. It makes my life a lot easier! Thor Malmjursson 15:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Political cults

It should be obvious that there is no way to come to a compromise on this. If you go to the article "Fred Newman" you will see that the username Babydweezil has been engaged in the most extraordinary antics to censor and control all information regarding the Fred Newman organization (aka Social Therapy and the International Workers Party) and its leaders. Essentially, this individual or group of individuals suddenly erupt on an article with aggressive, nonstop attacks, apparently hoping to win control of the article through sheer intimidation. (The group in question used similar tactics in invading liberal social action organizations in the 1980s to try to seize control and drive away anyone who disagreed--today we are merely seeing an Internet version of such tactics.) The problem of cults engaging in such behavior on Wikipedia has a long history (see the articles on Lyndon LaRouche circa about 2 years ago) and one for which Wiki has yet to establish workable means of amelioration. So be even-handed if that is your choice; I just wanted you to know that this is not a typical Wikipedia dispute.--Dking 21:38, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your very helpful improvements and corrections to this article. I often don't quite know how to best achieve things! --Slp1 01:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, the Wikisource link was actually a complete fluke. I just though "Hmm... maybe this will work" and huzzah, it did! --Wafulz 01:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article Greeks does mention this in the opening paragraph. I'm not aware of a scholarly distinction between ancient Greeks of Italy and of Greece proper, therefore your theory is just a personal point of view. Miskin 12:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
