You bastard. You should've told me. Ottovonguericke 21:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Thumbs up! Award
I, ottovonguericke, present you with this "thumbs up!" for whatever it is you do, and to urge you to keep on doing it. The qualifications for this prestigious award are mainly, but not limited to, reverting the mischievous deeds of vandals and your ultra-mega-über knowledge concerning Wikipedian policy.

Oops!
Sorry about that. I didn't notice that the user before had also vandalized the page. Thanks for catching note of that. --Nishkid64 02:04, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, Dylan Lake, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
Welcome to the Kindness Campaign!

sigur ros
Don't add nonsense to the Sigur Ros page? What are you talking about? All I did was delete nonsense, which was a timeline of the 4 current members and the fifth old member. A timeline was absolutely unnecssary for such a non-transient subject matter. Don't add nonsense...? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Theair (talk • contribs) 06:51, October 13, 2006 (UTC).
Thanks!
thank you for your welcome message. Nice to meet you.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bbb1992 (talk • contribs) 23:19, October 14, 2006 (UTC).
- Add my thanks to that. I'm still figuring all this formatting and stuff out :S Electriceel 11:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Re: Welcome
Hi, Dylan! Thanks for the greeting (sent to 128.253.225.165), but I already have a username -- I just saw some typos and such and didn't bother logging in for them. -- Djinn112 23:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to the Crypto Project
Glad to have you as a member of the WikiProject Cryptography. You will find the odd controversy, lots of helpful fellows, and a relatively well organized scaffolding structure (most of it due to one of our members, Matt). I hope you find your time here enjoyable. We certainly need more mathematical perspective in some articles. ww 02:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Re:Help!
I reverted some vandalism by the user, and I was just about to block the user indefinitely but Tawker got to it first. Thanks for the tip, mate. =) Nishkid64 02:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
For your info
You dont understand the ROC China situation. ROC does not equal Taiwan. It is on Taiwan. -Long Live Chiang Kai-shek 02:57, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
The Kathy Shooster article I'm currently working on
Dylan- Thanks so much for the help you've offered. I do have a question for you though, at this time.
The "article" I'm working on contains content from Kathy Shooster's web site. I have emailed her in regards to my intentions for creating this "article" (more likely a stub) for the entry entitled Bold textGalilee of the NationsBold text.
She has replied to my inquiry and granted me permission to do so.
Here's the question: How do I site her permission for the "green light" she's given, so that the "stub" I create isn't deleted, outright?
I do intend to make some cosmetic changes to the content I intend to use, but they are minor in nature.
I await your reply. Thanks Shalom tyhoward 10:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)shalom_tyhowardShalom tyhoward 10:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with the exact procedure regarding creation of biographies of living people, have you read WP:BIO and WP:AUTO and WP:BLP, If still unclear, ask on the those talk pages or ask an admin. good luck! --Dylan Lake 21:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Reply RE: Maintenance Notes
I did not arbitrarily make these changes. Where I felt they were inaccurate, I removed them. My message to you is please do not encourage the use of inaccurate maintenance notes, or revert my changes on the subjects where I removed the maintenance notes which were not accurate.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.43.87.250 (talk • contribs) 23:08, October 22, 2006 (UTC).
Natural log?
I'm no professional mathematician, but in my experience "ln" (such as us used in your math humor) is generally used to differentiate as natural log, as opposed to just plain logarithm. Thus, your humor reads "natural log cabin" instead of just "log cabin". Of course I could be wrong by some wierd exception. Just curious, ßottesiηi (talk) 02:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ah yes well in
college math classesthe math classes I've been in where we don't really care very much about other logarithms we rarely talk about logs with bases other than e so we generally refer to the natural logarithm as "log" unless otherwise specified. Yes technically it's incorrect but then it should also be natural logarithm of the absolute value of cabin. Such a good joke if we don't split hairs though... I got it from the Mathematical joke article.--Dylan Lake 02:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Questions
hi dylan. i guess i don't quite understand the wikipedia article process. how do i get to be one of you guys who can add or delete whatever they want to without warning? who determines the merit of certain articles? i'm sorry. i'm a little frustrated at how the rules are applied here. i thought that by adding a page about my band i was indeed stating fact about something which i am an authority in a place which i felt once could be considered a great online repository of information.
i would like page deleting powers so that i may "assist" you in removing every other page dealing with specific facets of the entertainment industry. (everything from "an affair to remember" to "zz top") we won't let these people advertise (per the links to sites where you can buy the merchandise) in this place! viva la wiki!
(that last bit isn't serious. i'm just venting.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tweedekamer (talk • contribs) 23:47, October 26, 2006 (UTC).

SRI
I appreciate your attitude and comments on my edits for corp ethics and SRI. My edits are, in fact, not commercial in nature, tho they link to my website. Our website has been on line since 11/16/1995. We were, in fact, the first corporate ethics and SRI website posted.
If you read the links, they offer neutral information on the topics.
01:57, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Cirm 01:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Again, thanks for the reference. There is nothing in the link that is spam-like, except that it refers to a somewhat commercial site. If you read the article, you will note that it is simply a reworded version of this page on our site. Thus, since the article, in it's current state, is based on work we have a right to seek to link to the orginbal document.

For a second, I was worried
Having received gratuitous abuse and vilification on other "open forums" (IRC, et al), I was concerned by your message. I soon realized it was friendly and not accusatory. As a long-time reader of Wikipedia, I have only reluctantly engaged in objective editing - entries are difficult to properly state in "one take" and require due consideration of motivation and possible bias. So I am most likely to "remove" rather than add, at least for now, and only when it seems inescapable that opinion is being fostered as fact. Dfoofnik 02:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
vandalism
How am I vandalizing pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.164.37.178 (talk • contribs)
- By reverting my edits with no explanation. -- Nikodemos 09:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
You gave no explanation for your edits. [1] [2] Isn't that then vandalism too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.164.37.178 (talk • contribs)
- I edited; you reverted (repeatedly). One edit does not always require an explanation, especially if it is one among many edits to the same article by the same person. However, you do need to explain yourself if you wish to revert (that is, restore a previous version of the article). One revert may be overlooked; but making several reverts in a row for no reason is vandalism. -- Nikodemos 10:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I've read [3] and content reverts are not listed as vandalism. I thought that your edits were a step in wrong direction, and I reverted them. Can you point to Wikipedia policy which forbids that and asks for reverts to be explained?
