I notice you keep removing my edit of the Arizona hot dog variation. Have you ever been to arizona? My post is rightgeous. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.231.163.130 (talk • contribs) 02:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Universe Spam

You and Canadian-Bacon seemed to have been slightly confused in wether or not to revert 203.10.59.63 on Universe. I can almost assuredly tell you that it is spam. See Category:Wikipedia:Sock_puppets_of_Universe_Daily for many of the spam URLs that User:Universe Daily's socks and proxies like to use. Visit a few. You'll find they're an almost identical forum that has been repeatedly spammed. I doubt the list is definitive anymore, but keep an eye out for it. Kevin_b_er 03:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I actually realized that after reverting myself, and then went back to remove it, but I think I got edit conflicted or something. At any rate, I removed the user's other postings of that link. Thanks for clearing things up and letting me know about this puppet master. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you go to the bottom of the page listed above you will see a link for Democrats but not for Republicans. Im trying to help you out. John R G 05:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lets see if you go to the bottom of the page that is listed above and click on the DEM for the democratic party you will see what I am trying to do. They have a link for the Democrats but there is no link for REP in the Repbulican party. I hope that helps. John R G 05:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do what you need to do im just trying to help. Im going to work on the Constitution party. John R G 05:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sorry about bugging you. I'll stop. Thanks for helping out and thank you for being easy-going. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 05:48, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You havent given me any problems. Can you delete the category I made about the republican party since you wont be using it. John R G 05:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'd be happy to help with that. Again, sorry to be nitpicky -- I do appreciate your help, and even though I guess we won't be keeping your category, I'm glad you pointed out these problems so they can be fixed. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 05:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Constitution Party Wikipedians

Take a look at the link above. I hope it will work. John R G 05:58, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine to me. The problem I have here is the same problem I had with the other category: you've put it on an article page, but it's meant to be on user pages. Would it be alright if I removed it from the Constitution Party (United States) article? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 06:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the "GOP" template up to mirror the Democratic userbox, by the way:

GOP

This user supports the U.S. Republican Party.

Hope that's alright. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 06:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering why you removed the information about the Constitution Party. There was nothing about people listed so I made one up. John R G 06:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the category has "Wikipedians" in it, then it's only meant to be used on user pages. On the Republican Party article, for example, there's already a template for articles related to the Republican party. The Constitution Party category you added is for users, though, so it should only go on user pages. Does that clear that up any? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 06:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Constitution Party Wikipedians

How do you like the template? John R G 06:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine to me, except you included the code for it on that page and not a transclusion to a template. You made that yourself and didn't get it from a preexisting template page, right? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 06:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore that part about transclusion -- doing that seems to cause problems with recursive inclusion or something. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 08:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians by politics

Can you merge the three Republican categorys into one. That would help. If anything I am typing alot also. John R G 06:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First, did you read my other comments above? Those categories are not all meant for the same namespace. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 06:31, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got a good start on the republican and constitiution parties if you want to make any changes go ahead. I just wanted to get a good start the template works fine on the sandbox I dont know why it doesnt work on the site. Again make any changes you feel that you need done. John R G 06:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I figure you wont do any harm so do what you need to do. I hope that I was able to help. If you want to change the colors of the template go ahead I had to pick something. Thanks for you time and help. John R G 06:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at my main page you will see the CONS will link to the site but I still have to make the category. John R G 06:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let me help you by making the template. I will place it in your user space (see: the German userbox solution) and then I will post the link to it to you. Then you can just include a link to it on your user page (something like {{User:John R G/User Constitution Party}}). Okay? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 06:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is fine you can even put it on your site. John R G 06:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seems more appropriate for it to be on yours (since you're the one who made it)! I'll go ahead and put it in your userspace, if you don't have any strong objections, and you can move it over to mine if you don't like that. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 06:59, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is fine one last thing can you get the templates for the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party on User:Rfrisbie/Userboxes/Political Parties. That might not be easy but it would be great. If you want to delete any of the stuff I made for the parties go ahead. See you tommorrow. John R G 07:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it should be pretty easy. Have a good night (assuming it's night where you are). -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 07:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually not going to put it on that page yet, since the only national parties listed there are Republicans and Democrats. I'm sure the Constitutional Party is notable and important and all that, but since no others are listed there (in my very scant research), I'm going to leave it as is for now. I did put an appropriate userbox category on the userbox I put in your userspace. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 07:38, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

... Which is at {{User:John R G/User Constitution Party}}. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 08:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Is the "Raw signature" box on your preferences page checked? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:46, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I don't think that's the problem anyway. I'm working on it. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I recoded what you posted, and I think it would look like this:

But if you wanted "Adrienna" and the same color sequence was being followed, it would be more like:

Why have you reversed my addition to this page

More on DUNNES STORES

The message I posted was "This company has a long history of poor labour relations. It currently has a large amount of part time & temporary staff. Typically when a temporary staff member hands in their notice they are removed from the roster for the period of their notice. Effectively once part time staff hand in their notice they are fired without pay. "

Can you tell me why it was removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.120.102.4 (talk • contribs) 08:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

The screwed up notice

You should really consider removing that notice. 12 mess ups isn't a lot considering the masses of RC patrol you do, and it makes you look like a poorer patroller than you actually are (and just encourages people to complain). -- Steel 16:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but I really hate the idea of appearing to hide my mistakes. I'm actually pretty used to complaints by now, and some of them really are well-founded. Thank you for the kind words, though. If you feel it looks bad at the top formatting-wise or something like that, please let me know. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 16:58, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I really hate the idea of appearing to hide my mistakes
I can't really argue with that, it's a very respectable opinion/attitude/thing. Though I think there's a difference between "hiding" mistakes and just not having a huge banner which the whole world sees when they visit your talk page. -- Steel 17:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tacky? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 17:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. Personally I think your userbox which ackowledges you make mistakes is enough, up to you though. I think my main point is that a lot of these "mistakes" are from months ago, and the header makes it look like you're constantly making them. -- Steel 17:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lance Bass

Are you retarded? Why the f**k did you revert my changes to the Lance Bass page? I changed "a American" to "an American" and added a comma where it was a grammatical necessity.

Find a new hobby other than ruining Wikipedia with your ignorance. And try reading a book on how to use English grammar correctly, you borderline-illiterate menace. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Answer my question

Long, regrettable argumentative nonsense hidden, click 'show' to view (JavaScript)

Why did you revert back to an older version of Lance Bass after I edited it? What possessed you to do that? My changes were valid, and you eliminated them! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

That was an error on my part -- since the link was "[[United States|American]]", I mistakenly thought the text read as "a United States..." However, it obviously read as "a American" and your edit was right. I missed this, because I only saw the code and had a brainfart at that moment. I probably also jumped to conclusions because there recently have been people editing that very part of the page into incorrect grammar.

Now, here's my question: who gets this riled up over one letter? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ironic that you're accusing me of overreacting when you seem to have crowned yourself "Miss Grammar" here on Wikipedia, and yet you actively troll recent changes to incorporate errors that others have been astute enough to catch and to fix. Perhaps you need to re-assess your skills and your holier-than-thou attitude before spending your time (despite your claims to be busy "in real life") making Wikipedia worse than it was before you got online. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, you're the one engaging in trolling. Perhaps you should look into anger management? Regards -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no, I was engaging in Wikipedia editing -- quite successfully and accurately, I might add. You, however, went out of your way to put a stop to that. And thanks for the medical advice. From what medical school did you receive your degree? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Are personal attacks successful and accurate editing? And my medical degree is from the University of WP:CIVIL. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:34, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have had no reason to make a personal "attack" had you not gone out of your way to undo my contribution. I guess you were done playing around on the masturbation and vagina entries and decided it was time for some Lance Bass destruction. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I made a simple mistake in the course of vandalism reverting. I didn't even send you a warning or anything, so why are you going completely nuts over my reverting your one letter change? Don't you think you're acting pretty irrational? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was simply the culmination of weeks of seeing accurate, thoughtful work being undone by self-appointed Wikipedia queens who've decided, for no justifiable reason, that they know how things ought to be around here. This is a shame, since it surely drives away those such as myself who are careful to make only grammatically and factually correct edits to articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, it was very misdirected, as I am not responsible for all of your Wikipedia ills, and as I said, it was a mistake, not a case of me butchering all the grammar on that article. As for us "Wikipedia queens", while we may not know everything regarding the best way to run Wikipedia, we do understand the concept of civility. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And any more dumb jokes involving misspellings like that and I'll report you for incivility. Either you neglected to read the explanation for my mistake or else you just don't care and want to fling insults. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Clarification: I might have been wrong here about there being a "dumb joke", but the user removed a letter from my name in the course of an edit that I originally thought consisted only of this change, so I took it as a snipe about not being able to spell my username correctly. This may have not been the case, although it would have been absolutely hilarious.) -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, a threat. Congrats. I'm so proud of you. But I have to ask: what "dumb joke involving misspellings" are you talking about? If you're referring to Lance Bass, that wasn't a joke; someone actually edited the article to say something along those lines. That's the kind of vandalism for which you ought to be trolling. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

You aren't wrong much, are you? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I try not to be when I put forth things as fact, as is the case with my work on Wikipedia. And if I ever did make an error, I'd apologize and thank the person who pointed it out to me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 21:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I saw the error right after I made it, but it appeared someone else had already fixed it or else I became preoccupied with other counter-vandalism. It was my fault, certainly, and I admitted it, but if you wanted a "thanks", the way to go about getting it wasn't coming in here and initiating conversation with "are you retarded?" Now I'm sitting here arguing with you pointlessly, and you're sitting there steaming over a letter and a comma. So now where are we? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:55, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not "steaming" over anything. I am actually having fun. Let's not exaggerate the gravity of this situation. We both seem like intelligent, reasonable people with at least one common interest. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 22:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

If you don't mind my saying, it really doesn't seem like you consider me anywhere near intelligent, and I'm not yet prepared to consider you "reasonable". I am a moron, sure, but that doesn't mean you have to rub it in my face. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:03, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also willing to admit that I am in fact "retarded" for letting this argument go on this long, and I will stay out of your way if you will just please, please try to exercise more civility on this site. There's absolutely no need to kick my Internet ass when I have acknowledged that I'm wrong and am willing to fix the error I made. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gee, can I report you for using the word "ass" on a discussion page? It offended me; I found it quite "uncivil." You didn't fix the error you made; I fixed your error, and that was only because I happened upon it. If you consider yourself a "moron," you probably shouldn't be editing Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 22:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

And I just noticed this paragraph that I accidentally reverted off of this page:

Anyway, how can someone mistake changing "a" to "an" for vandalism? Did you think I had actually written "Lance Bass wants to suck cock and be defecated on in space" (like one of the previous editors) instead of adding the letter "n" onto the word "a"? You sound a little too trigger-happy to be correcting vandalism.

Who said I thought it was vandalism? Can't I try to correct what I (mistakenly) think are grammar issues? Again, all I did was read the front of the wikilink instead of the end of it. That was the genesis of my error. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote the sentence you deleted after you wrote, "I made a simple mistake in the course of vandalism reverting." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

By that I meant I was on RC patrol, therefore seeing all new edits, and saw what I thought was a grammatical error.

Gee, can I report you for using the word "ass" on a discussion page? It offended me; I found it quite "uncivil." You didn't fix the error you made; I fixed your error, and that was only because I happened upon it. If you consider yourself a "moron," you probably shouldn't be editing Wikipedia.

There's a case of true trolling, for your reference. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not following you there. What's a case of "true trolling"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2006 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 22:19, 17 August (UTC)

I'm trying to respond to you and reason with you, convincing myself that you really aren't just trying to be a troll, and then you come out with "oooh, you offended me, I'm going to report you" (right after all the remarks you've made). You're not doing a good job of establishing good faith is my point. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess we won't be best friends forever. I have to be running along and moving on with my life, but you know where to find me should you ever need pleasant conversation. I enjoy long walks on the beach, pina coladas, and editing articles about recently outed pop stars. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

User:64.169.99.74

Hello-

This is Steve Niles. You have a page dedicated to me and my work, but recently a disgruntled person named Matt Busch has taken it upon himself to add a factually incorrect account of a personal issue in my life. I would like it removed. Is that possible? Matt Busch himself is posting this and it is not relevant to my career and like I said is factually incorrect and only being posted because Busch lost his girlfriend.

Thank you,

Steve Niles —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.169.99.74 (talk • contribs) 23:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Steve --

To be honest, I'm still pretty new here, and I definitely do not have the power to take care of something like this. Probably the place to discuss this is at the Wikipedia help desk. If you'd like I can post your question there for you. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 23:19, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the content per WP:LIVING and WP:Reliable sources. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not satisfactory

It appears that you are responsbile for a bot that reverted my edit on John Howard. This is highly unsatisfactory and completely breaks Wikipedia as it is intended to function. Please turn off the bot or fix it to ensure that it only reverts known malicious editors. Please advise a.s.a.p. when you have restored my ability to edit this article.

Insofar as the bot may be a useful tool, there is insufficient documentation as to what authority the bot operates under and how to counter its unwanted actions. If you are going to operate this bot - it is VERY UNSATISFACTORY to also have a notice on your home page advising that you may not respond to messages. If you wish to operate the bot you should be available to account for the actions of the bot. --Wm 03:19, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That was not a bot. That was me reverting a bad grammar edit you made. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was in the process of correcting it myself. The link to VS is very confusing as is your notice about not being available. If you are not available, how is it that you are reverting edits? There is no need to jump on an edit milliseconds after completion. Reverting is lazy. You can see the clumsy writing I am trying to correct - instead of reverting, try to improve the artcile. --Wm 03:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sir/ma'am, all of my revert edit summaries have a link to WP:SNIPE in them. Please visit that page and read the first thing in bold at the top of that page.
I'm responding, am I not? {{busy}} isn't "{{not here, not responding}}".
I'm sorry you feel I'm lazy. If I corrected it, then what's the complaint here?
How is fixing grammar mistakes not improving the article?

-- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look at the sentence that you reverted to. I believe that its meaning is inaccurate. What is worse bad grammer or a misleading meaning? Anway I accept that I initially misunderstood the situation but I have also made a few comments which I believe may be worth considering. Happy editing. --Wm 03:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough -- I won't revert you again while you're in the middle of an edit. Happy editing to you as well. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I run a Debian based distro myself so may consider installing VS over the weekend. --Wm 03:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize if I've been snappy; I guess I've had a hard day. Having said that, if you have any trouble with installing VS, please let me know and I'll be more than willing to help you out if I can. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edited Message

I don't feel this addition I made should have been edited. It only sayed positive things.

"This demonstrated why the Steelers were such an amazing team. Despite all the obstacles in their way, they continued to play with great heart and will which was key." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.51.176.22 (talk • contribs) 04:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

The reason I removed it is because it appears to be a statement of opinion and thus unencyclopedic (see WP:NPOV, WP:OR). If you reinsert it I won't revert you again, but please give those pages some consideration. I can't promise what the reactions of other editors will be, though. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 04:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beating me to the punch.

For beating me to the revert punch more times than I can count <sigh>. Cassavau 05:07, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. If you have any suggestions which might help (e.g. from your own experiences), I would welcome them. And if you find me doing something stupid or ignorant, let me know. --Cassavau 05:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. The only advice I can think of right now is that you can receive complaints over virtually anything in the "line of duty" (not that they're always undeserved, at least in my case). It takes a lot of patience sometimes; I still have quite a ways to go as far as dealing with criticism appropriately, it would seem. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 05:23, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

For referring the policy in your response and actually being helpful.

I will chill out. Now can you tell these other admins to stop reverting my edits and calling me a vandal? I thought the idea of this place is that you can edit the article to make it better? So why is that article, filled with speculation, 'some sources say' with citations to tabloids and etcetera not worthy of being edited? I read a lot of articles on here, and the steven seagal one is not up to snuff. I don't even care about steven seagal, but i do care about wikipedia having pages like this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.26.94.95 (talk • contribs) 05:10, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

From what I can tell, the controversy is over your deletion of sections. The best way to go about fixing the article would be to try to edit the existing sections into sanity, or at least include edit comments with your deletions. Because page blankings are a common form of vandalism from IPs, it's always hard to tell if a large deletion is being made in good faith or with the intent of vandalism. Does that help any? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 05:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scott Keith

I noticed you reverted an edit to Scott Keith that put back in that he died. This is a hoax. I think an anon editor who has previously vandalized the page put it in due to the WP:BLP policy and his death would supposedly make the policy moot. I think you are overall doing a good job but just wanted to get that to your attention. MrMurph101 05:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To me, that was a really convincing hoax. Thanks for letting me know -- I'll start monitoring that article to keep the nonsense out. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 05:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
