Re: External Link

Ah, this was related to some spamming that was going on with the ibtimes (see WP:AN#User:Dck7777). However, the link is legit and i restored it (with proper formating). Cheers! Sasquatch t|c 20:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

subst:

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Also, please ensure that a vandal you're reporting has had the full range of warnings (from 1 to 4) and vandalised after the final one. Skipping a warning stange or reporting a vandal without cause will just annoy those who have to clear the list and won't result in the block you're seeking. Thanks and happy editing! 〈REDVEЯS〉 22:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gaddafi: Leader or Dictator

Hi Hiberniantears, we started a small discussion on this point on the discussion page. I think most agree that this change is not vandalism. Please see the discussion and help us fine tune this. Thanks!

vandal target

I was looking at this [1], and wondered why you were the one to get it in the neck from that "jerk". Just curious.--Shtove 22:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: vandal warning

Hi Hiberniantears. You placed a vandal warning post on my user profile page. You thanked me for experimenting in editing a particular Wikipedia article although I do not know which article you are referring to. I generally do sign in and take full accountability when I make a change to an article. Even when I do not on occasion sign in, I am always careful in what I write and I try to be non-biased. I therefore find it strange that you should find fault with an edit I made. The only article I can think of where I may have transgressed was in relation to the term Hun. However, I promptly removed a possibly controversial edit after reading the the contributions made in the discussion page of the article. If it was not this article, I cannot think of any other article edit where you may find fault. Could you please tell me with what particular article did you feel I made an "experimental fault". I only ask because I am genuinely interested in understanding the problem, as you seem to see it. 83.70.73.48 04:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well... let's see, IP 83.70.73.48 has only made edits to my talk page, and to the article Dundalk. My vandalism warning was for the edit from said IP address to Dundalk was was a string of vulgarity inserted into the article. If you are serious in asking me this question, then click on the user page for the IP address I just mentioned, and then click on user contributions.

Talk:2007 Boston Mooninite Scare

Heh, it probably could have been removed anyway for being a discussion of the event and not of the article itself :) Leebo⁸⁶ 21:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism Leon Sullivan article

It looks like 207.166.7.209 has vandalized the Leon Sullivan again. I reversed the changes, but is there anything else we can do to keep this issue from happening again.

Thanks, dovcamp

Pyramids

Hi Gene, I saw that you reverted my edits on a couple of pyramid related pages to include links to the pages on Ukrainian and Bosnian pyramids (and for links to the pyramid category as well). I just wanted to clarify why these links do not belong. The Bosnian "pyramid" is considered a hoax. If the digging on the Bosnian hill does eventually reveal a pyramid, then the links are justified. However, until proof of a pyramid is found, the site remains a hill, with an archeologically significant medieval village on top. In the case of the Ukrainian pyramid, the press simply carried a wrong impression of the site into the popular culture. This innacuracy was soon clarified by the archaeologist in charge. Hiberniantears 12:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not revert the external links sections of pyramid articles again. I am well aware that the Bosnian and Ukrainian "pramids" are not really pyramids, and that the scientific consensus supports this - however that is entirely beside the point; the main reason they are known by most people is because some people claimed they were pyramids; it is not for us to make value judgements concerning those claims; our job is simply to provide links to all pyramid-elated articles and let people read those articles and decide for themselves. The "see also" list is a list of related subjects - it is not merely a list of "legitimate pyramids". --Gene_poole 01:39, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I think when something is either falsely called, or accidentally called, something it is not, no reasonable source of information would list it said entity under the misleading heading. For example, when a toddler calls a car a boat, the rest of the world does not have to amuse the toddler by now considering cars as boats "because some people claimed they were" boats. I realize you're taking an inclusionist stance on this, and I respect that. However, I think the fact that the articles themselves are already improperly named is inclusionist enough. Including the Ukrainian and Bosnian "pyramids" in a list of legitimate pyramids is very efficient way to undermine any intellectual weight this encyclopedia has. I think making lists of things which are entirely opposed to the scientific consensus (and in the case of the dig site in Ukraine, against the stated clarification by the archaeologist leading the dig) is irresponsible. To that end, I am once again making my reverts, but in the interest of fairness, I am also moving this conversation to the talk pages of the articles. Hiberniantears 12:39, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that your continued reversions on this subject do not comply with WP:NPOV. Accordingly, I am reverting them again. --Gene_poole 21:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a matter of "reverting ad infinitum" - it is a matter of complying with Wikipedia policy - which your continued removal of valid data directly contravenes. Stop it. --Gene_poole 21:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for respecting my edits. Just a reminder though that we are not here to "debate" anything - the purpose of any discussion and/or poll is to establish a broad community consensus. --Gene_poole 22:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nazarene Bible Quizzing

I undid the redirect to Bible Quiz in that I will be adding much more specific information on Nazarene Bible Quizzing alone in order to assist in training new quizzers and quiz officials. There will be enough information here to fill the page on its own. I just need the time to do so. Though, please do not add a link to this page from Bible Quiz quite yet as it needs more work. Thanks!

Sounds fine to me. However, be mindful that there is a section within Bible Quiz on the Nazarene kind, and as such other editors may also see fit to merge the two articles. Also consider adding your information to the Bible Quiz article itself, rather than a unique article. In the case of a redirect, users searching for Nazarene Bible Quiz will be brought to the Bible Quiz page, and could then scroll down to the Nazarene section.

In the interest of avoiding any other redirects, make sure to add a detailed note to the article's talk page, so that other editors will be aware of your plan. Happy editing! Hiberniantears 21:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rospars

Yeah, I knew him at Mason as well. I was involved in SG a bit as well, though I wasn't a Senate or Executive member, I was heavily involved with student leadership at Mason. Definately a possibility that we ran into each other. - Masonpatriot 14:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, though I did work on the SEC for three years. I was pretty active within Student Activities and with the Council of Student Organizations. - Masonpatriot 14:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
