Cry Little Sister

Hi. I noticed you removed a lot of the content I had spent hours researching from the Cry Little Sister page. I appreciate from your comments that you do not approve of YouTube or MySpace links. I apologise for this, since I really wasn't aware that this was a policy. I can easily amend these links to other sources that might meet with your approval. I simply chose those links because this is a page about music and if I were reading that article, I know I would certainly appreciate someone providing a link to enable me to hear the song I just read about. _♫ Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪^Talk 01:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for chopping up the article, but yeah as you surmised, youtube and myspace aren't reliable sources. A lot of that content can probably be re-added, but you'd need to find better sources to back it up. On another note: I notice your signature is transcluded. That's not really allowed, see Wikipedia:Signature#Transclusion of templates. You can get around this by subst'ing instead, for example: {{subst:User:Redxx/Signature}}. Sorry for all the criticism :) If you have any questions, feel to ask. Equazcion •✗/C • 01:58, 22 Apr 2008 (UTC)

Ambox skins

We are now deploying two new box types and CSS classes for the article message boxes. You can see them in MediaWiki:Common.css as "ambox-speedy" and "ambox-protection". If you have the time and feel the inclination: You might want to add those to the skin you made at Wikipedia:Ambox CSS classes/Skins.

Headers

Hi - I am sure you're trying to be helpful at Talk:Barack Obama and Talk: Hillary Rodham Clinton, but your edits to the headers have created problems and have been reverted by more than one of the regular editors on those pages, those who use the talk pages heavily. The "skip to toc" tag is an important navigation aid for those of us who use laptops that have smaller screens and need to move to the TOC quickly, so please stop removing it. As for shrinking some of the header items to small boxes, that's a mixed blessing - too many of those, and you end up encroaching on the text and that ends up using more space than the wide ones, so we left a few as small and reinstated others as full size so that now they do not move below the TOC. I also believe announcements about ongoing FACs and FARs are supposed to be on top of the page so that readers see them. Finally, please stop re-setting the TOC limit below 4 - often there are multiple levels of subheads that we need reflected in the TOC - this is more true for Obama, but often on Clinton as well. Would appreciate it if you would leave the headers essentially as they are - these are very active talk pages as you can see, and the editors who work on them extensively need to be able to navigate them easily. Thanks - if you have specific suggestions, why not leave a note on the talk page, or on the user talk pages of editors who've reverted your edits and we can talk about them - improvements are always welcome, but the set-up basically works now.

Pages I would like you to look at

Wikipedia is strictly buisness (mostly) so I am sending you this message for Wikipages in need.

Plain White T's needs a lot of help. It is a sketchy article.

8- inch floppy disc also needs help. There were a few notes that floppy disk was too long so I made a new article from part of that one.

From, --RayquazaDialgaWeird2210 (talk) 16:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I requested deletion of the 8- inch floppy disc article -- Sorry, but that split wouldn't make much of a dent in the Floppy disk article. The entire History section is what's proposed for splitting, not the just the 8-inch section. That section alone is not so significant as to warrant its own article. Let me know if you have any questions. Equazcion •✗/C • 03:29, 28 Apr 2008 (UTC)

Misunderstanding

I wasn't calling you or AQ a troll. See reply. Marskell (talk) 18:47, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right. And I was disqualifying your statement by pointing out that neither of the two most recent people you ran off the article were trolls. Equazcion •✗/C • 18:49, 30 Apr 2008 (UTC)

X-Files synopses

Thanks. There's actually more from season four, but the only reason I caught the ones I did was because I'm currently going through season four on DVD (I'm just now watching the full season). If you want to remove them now, go ahead, but I'll be removing them as I watch episodes. --fuzzy510 (talk) 06:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 02:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment removal from BAG discussion

Please do not remove other users' comments from a discussion. Any member of the community is free to express their opinion. I would suggest you just ignore or talk with those who you do not agree with. KnightLago (talk) 03:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

third edit conflict - I didn't remove them, and it had nothing to do with a disagreement. See my comments on this at User talk:Maxim. And you just removed my comment, and reverted my edits as vandalism, both of which are incorrect. Equazcion •✗/C • 03:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You added multiple external links to your own website. See WP:COI, WP:SPAM, and WP:EL for information about why they were removed. Equazcion •✗/C • 08:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed your links because you are obviously affiliated with the site whose links you posted. Wikipedia is not the place to promote your website. Those other links might also not belong, but I haven't investigated them. Equazcion •✗/C • 08:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How dare you call me a Nazi

Retract that vile attack at once. Lawrence Cohen § t/e 15:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What attack? Equazcion •✗/C • 15:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is patently unacceptable. Lawrence Cohen § t/e 16:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I objected to the manner in which you spoke to me. I did not call you a nazi, and never would call anyone such a word. I was describing your tone, not you. Don't respond to a complaint of mine with a mere trumped-up complaint of your own, because I won't be responsive to it. If you'd like to apologize for the way you spoke to me, I'll apologize for characterizing your wording. If you'd like to strike your comment, I'll gladly strike mine. But this show of offense at my show of offense is just a false retaliatory response. I did not call you any name, whatsoever. Equazcion •✗/C • 16:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Virgin Killer

There, that should end our little disagreement, which was unfortunate seeing as how I quite liked the points you made on the deletion page. In all honesty I'm finding it quite hillarious that such an insignificant organisation as WND can cause such an effect as to cause two strangers to argue over something as silly as an image placement Acer (talk) 11:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I appreciate the undo. In the future, that is the best way to alleviate concerns over participation in an edit war, which I considered obvious but perhaps should've suggested in retrospect. As I've said before, it doesn't take much to stir things up on Wikipedia -- you don't even need your own website. I've seen larger controversies started by much less in the past. It's the nature of the beast. Equazcion •✗/C • 12:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Also on the topic of Virgin Killer) You said you were "disappointed" that I advocate speedy deletion of the image in question. Just to clarify: as you know, I believe strongly in the principle of rule by the community, and there is no way I would personally speedy-delete the image in these controversial circumstances, nor would I expect any other admin to. (Indeed, it would be bordering on an abuse of sysop tools.) I was just expressing my personal opinion on what should be done with the image, but I'm happy to abide by the community's decision (which thus far seems to be in favour of keeping). Walton^One 18:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know you weren't about to do it yourself, but you did seem to be suggesting that the discussion be ignored in favor of... well, moral decency. I respect you as one of the wiser and more neutral admins on this site, Walton, but in this case, you seem to be showing a kind of almost religious extremity. I suppose we all have our buttons, and believe me when I say I've been there. There was a photo in the analingus article once upon a time that I wish I could erase from my memory -- I lobbied hard for it to be removed or at least hidden by default, but after everyone fought me on it, I realized I was merely applying my own moral standards and my immediate offensive response to a site that strictly forbids such judgments. Surely you must've come across similar situations in the past -- but perhaps a reminder is in order. Not to lecture you, but as a bit of advice, it might be best to back away from a subject about which you feel this strongly. Equazcion •✗/C • 18:25, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that I feel strongly about it certainly does disqualify me from taking any admin action on it, but I don't see that it disqualifies me from expressing an opinion on the IfD. As an admin and editor, I take seriously my responsibility to be strictly neutral in editing encyclopedic content and in using the sysop tools; but as a human being I have an opinion, which it is, IMO, legitimate to express in discussion. As I said, I will abide by whatever consensus arises from the IfD (which the closing admin will, hopefully, evaluate in a fair and neutral way). But it remains my personal opinion that such an image doesn't belong on this site. While I don't disagree in principle with WP:NOTCENSORED, I think it is sometimes given too much weight; as a community, we sometimes seem to go out of our way to unnecessarily offend people just in order to shout out to the world that we reject censorship. That happened with the images of Mohammed controversy, and it seems to be happening here. Walton^One 18:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't suggesting that you didn't have a right to express your opinion. The advice to back away was for your own good. Objecitng to an image on moral grounds is a losing battle on Wikipedia, so engaging in it just puts undue stress on yourself. As I said, I've been in your shoes before, and there even continue to be times when I'd like to make similar objections -- I've just learned, somewhat, that I'll only end up stressing myself out over something that can't possibly end up going my way.
