Hartford, Arkansas

Why is my addition to this page being deleted? I have lived here for 25 years and can assure you everything in it is true. I also believe this adds a little color to our page. We aren't huge town so these little things are what make our town what it is. ImaMakeRice (talk) 07:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but all Wikipedia content must be factual, verifiable and neutral. Personal observations of the town's residents are unneeded. --Bongwarrior (talk) 19:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

How do you know that George W. Bush isn't a reptilian? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.155.77.60 (talk) 06:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

why

Why did you close the Christian/Newsom discussion so quick? It was open less than a day. Just curious, that's all. The "keep" makes sense. Is it if you feel certain that it is a keep, you can immediately close it? ஹெல்சின்கி FIN பின்லாந்து (talk) 18:53, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly. I became aware of the discussion via an ANI thread: after having some of his/her edits rejected, the nominator appeared to be trying to make a point by nominating the article for deletion, hence the early close. I apologize for the lack of a proper closing rationale - it was a little late, and I wasn't feeling very talkative at the time. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:41, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Titan

Hi, look I'm not trying to stir up trouble or to vandalize in any way. But the page on greek mythology's Titans needs some help, particularly in the etymology of Titans. Hesiod, our primary and most ancient source on them, is adamant that the word comes from the greek word 'temno', which means 'I stretch'. The rest that's listed there is simply silly and filler. Oh well I hope it works out. Cheers.Mr.mobsta (talk) 11:07, 10 December 2010 (UTC) December 10, 2010 Mr. Mobsta[reply]

Hello

Dear Bong Warrior,

I hope that you are enjoying a pleasant evening. I was hoping that you may consider rescinding your sectioning re: M Hancock from approximately 5 minutes ago. Many people in out province , while not part of the predominant north american social scene are interested in researching this gentlemen. I am responding to a request on the part of our readers and I am not familiar completely with Wikipedia's program aside from my own experience reading documents. I hope you will reconsider after viewing these websites/ documents:

pick up podcast ( search on Google ) the Georgian - west coast NL newspaper ( thegeorgian.ca) The Toronto Star - ( "a player not to be hated") — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sexybabegirl (talkcontribs) 10:01, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to locate any of those. Can you please provide some direct links that mention the subject? --Bongwarrior (talk) 03:52, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Hidden Admin?

Hello, Bongwarrior … Just thought I'd ping you to mention that you are the first WP:Administrator I've encountered who doesn't advertise it with a userbox … as you can tell from my user page(s), I use them partly to attract, but mostly to avoid any confusion about "where I'm coming from" in terms of my predispositions, such as any arising from how old I am and what cultural phenomena I have experienced first-hand.

BTW, I stumbled across your block of User:68.3.128.105 while back-tracing vandalism to Grace Hopper (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), which led me to their talk page … OTOH, now that I look at the dates, I see the block was several months ago, so I guess they're back … I'll hang a {{uw-vandalism2}} on it as I had originally intended, just to document their behavior.

Anywho, I hope to run into you again, 'cause I'm sure I'll recognize yer handle. :-)

Happy Editing! — 70.21.16.94 (talk · contribs) 02:57, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I cleaned out my modest userbox collection a few weeks ago, but I always preferred to just use the unobtrusive {{Administrator topicon}} for identification purposes. I was always worried the admin userbox would seem too show-offy :) Thanks for the note, and happy editing to you as well. --Bongwarrior (talk) 04:35, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ouch! Your user page's history shows an abnormal pattern of vandalism … good thing so many other editors seem to have your back … maybe a little advertising would make them think twice before trashing you? :-) — 70.21.16.94 (talk) 21:46, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
