Spam on fixed gear

Hi, I see you deleted the bikemonger link on fixed gear bicycle page. No argument there, but I was wondering what you make of the other external links? I only ask because it seems a little bloated.Buffalo Bill talk to me 18:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

Whitstable,

I have answered your questions on my RFA|[1]. Thanks! --Ohmpandya (talk) 23:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I appreciate your comment, gotta work hard to make wikipedia not suck :) Judgesurreal777 (talk) 19:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the nature of Wikipedia

I've lately done some hard thinking about what's in the headline - did research, held a school presentation, gave an interview - and on that basis, I beg you not to go through with the AfD spree you suggested. We were started as a co-operative community and cannot survive as anything else. Mass deletion nominations are just about the most combative kind of act readily available. They ignore the quality of our coverage of the topic as a whole; they are inherently divisive; they are a non-trivial drain on the resources that could be spent doing so; they overwhelm the capacity of editors and especially the local experts on the subject, volunteers all, to expend the time and effort to give fair judgment; they disgust away the aforementioned local experts, making any kind of compromise or reasonable discussion less likely; they force "improve or be destroyed" - situations that are grossly unacceptable as AfD emphatically is NOT cleanup. Et cetera. --Kizor 20:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently engaged in discussions about the scope and extent of Wikipedia. If this has been discussed in detail anywhere else, please let me know. I'd like to talk with you about this at some point in the future, resources permitting - I'm in #¤%& pieces and didn't really need having to extend myself further right now - but the previous message was a more urgent matter. --Kizor 20:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Got your message after posting that. Thanks. --Kizor 20:17, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks.

listen to me

Whistable, give me one last chance please. I'm sorry for this okay. Give me a chance for the love of god man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.149.167.77 (talk) 17:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of List of pigs over 1000 pounds

Is this some joke? I don't see any AfD anywhere for the article, and I am not amused by this. --293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 19:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which was unsuccessful with 19 support, 18 oppose, and 5 neutral. I have signed up for admin coaching and will retry later on in a couple more months.

I'm sorry you felt I am inexperienced to become an admin. I hope that by performing more edits on Wikipedia in the next few months that I could possibly change your mind by my next RfA, possibly around May 2008. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 04:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It has taken me a long time to follow up your message regarding my edit to the John Major page, and to those of some other recent British Prime Ministers, but I have recently raised the question on the John Major discussion page. There have been a couple of responses, both wanting to know more about the rationale for removing the Bibliography link. Do you want to comment? Or shall I, as the last commentator suggests, reinstate the link and see what happens? Bibliographer07 (talk) 13:20, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
