Dear Toby Douglass, please don't turn the russian-ukrainian gas dispute article into a pro-Ukrainian propaganda, according to the bbc the stated owned Naftgaz has admitted that they took gas with was intended for abroard, I think you can't say that the BBC would lie about this. I don't want thise article to become a anti-Ukrainain piece, but not a pro-Ukrainian either.

Whoops I thought you were the vandal. Sorry I didn't look back far enough. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:19, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

Hi Toby Douglass. I wanted to post a message to remind you of Wikipedia's no original research policy. Some of your additions to Lord of War and series of tubes qualified as original research, and unfortunately had to be removed. Thanks for your contributions, and remember to keep this policy in mind. Thanks! · j e r s y k o talk · 15:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AVL tree

Hopefully this doesn't cause any offense, but I had to revert your changes on AVL tree. I gave my reasoning on the talk page. I understand why you said what you said, but you're mistakes are common misconceptions. I realize that the article needs some work, and I'm grateful for your enthusiasm, but I don't think that the changes made were the correct ones. I think some careful writing, along the same lines as the stuff you wrote, could do the article some good. Please continue to contribute to the article. McKay 14:58, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry about that. I must have missed your edits to that page. Reading through it now (or later today). McKay 15:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Falklands

can you provide references for your entry on the falklanda war article for:

"It should be noted, however, that there was a perfectly good practical and safety reason to enforce driving on the right; as the local commander said: "what do you want, our 18 year old conscripts trying to drive their big lorries on the left, or you with your little vehicles trying to drive on the right?""

all the best and happy hogmanay

I think it's unusual for an ISP to only use one IP address for all of its customers, but I don't understand why it is unethical. Could you explain more about why it is unethical for an ISP to share one IP address for all of its customers. How does this practice intervene in the customers' lives? It seems like this setup would protect the individual users' identities. This is similar to anonymity provided by AOL's dynamic IP address assignments to its customers. With both of these companies setups, an IP address can't be pinned to a single user. Jecowa 13:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rings of Jupiter vandalism

Aliasd - the Rings of Jupiter page was vandalised. I reverted. The vandal was User:Nicolaswar. You have a "final warning" comment on his talk page. I don't know the procedure to ban people, so I was hoping you could sort this out.

Thankyou, this user will be blocked shortly. Aliasd 11:10, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heather Duby

Toby, As a lifelong fan of Heather Duby's music, I attempted to provide as much information as I know on her career as an artist. It's informational, which by default, is also encyclopedic. Please do not revise the page anymore as your revisions take drastic episodes in the artist's life away from the full story. Thank you.
