Throwing insults at other editors is a bad thing, no matter how much you think you've been provoked. You make life harder for all contributers. Dial it back, please. ---[[User:Isaac Rabinovitch|Isaac R]] 20:08, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

You attitude is ''not fine''. Saying "Bite Me" is bad attitude, no matter what you're responding to. Rude behavior by other users is not a license for you to behave rudely yourself. That's just a formula for making things worse. ---[[User:Isaac Rabinovitch|Isaac R]] 00:35, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

''cant even be bothered to hold a civil discussion?''

Wait, are you the same guy who called me "uncivil" in the same breath you call me "Fuel Gauge", and who then posts an indirect threat on my talk page that says ''your abrasive comments can, and eventually will, get you in trouble.''???

I figured the most "civil" way to respond to your threat was to not engage. [[User:FuelWagon|FuelWagon]] 21:56, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

:''Sorry I used the wrong name, it was entirely accidental.'' It was in the midst of gordonwatts mangling my name every which way, so I assumed it was intentional. apology accepted. Sorry I blew up at you. My misunderstanding. My bad. [[User:FuelWagon|FuelWagon]] 22:05, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

==lara roxx removal reply==

I removed the [[Lara Roxx]] from the cleanup page because the article seemed to have been cleaned up and contained the links it required. I am new to Wikipedia, so in the future I will most likely just cleanup and then leave the link for someone else to tend to. Sorry for the messup. [[User:Eliotyork|Eliotyork]] 2:09PM, May 17, 2005

==Is this for real?==

Rick, I've been away for a while and even so, I never kept up on much of the project issues going on here. I just came across a couple of new pages in the Wikipedia space that I was hoping you could look at. Check the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=68.250.226.34 contributions] for 68.250.226.34 -- sounds fishy to me, especially coming from an anon. Thank you.

== Proposed RfC on User:Daniel C. Boyer ==

I've been contributing to a rough draft of an RFC against Mr. Boyer with [[User:Plattopus]] and [[User:Classicjupiter2]]. I know that you've been quite aware of Mr. Boyer's shenanigans for even longer than I have, so I was wondering if you had anything to add to the description and documentation we have written at [[User:Plattopus/DCB]] before we actually submit it to the RFC page. Probably best to minimize use of the really old stuff, except as much as it shows that the same problems have occurred over a long period of time without any change. Thanks!

== Moving templates ==

As part of the result tables in British and Irish election articles, two templates were created in article space for each party. Unfortunately, being in the article space, they are showing up in the list of [[Wikipedia:deadend pages|deadend pages]], and at least one has been speedily deleted. I am checking the incoming links and tagging the redirects for deletion as I go. [[User:Susvolans|Susvolans]] [[User talk:Susvolans|(pigs can fly)]] 09:55, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't have my page up for 5 minutes and you put in a vote for deletion. Try reading it all the way through first. Thanks. --JRGNYR

:It is what you make of it. But let's not discriminate here. If you're going to leave PTC up, then mine should be left up too.

==AMC Characters list==

That's a good idea for an article! Make sure to list the actors' names and when they were on the show. If you need help, just ask and I'll chip in. The little descriptions are good, too.

As for Jen on OLTL, I always thought Miss [[Jessica Morris]] was a no-talent hack (I don't care if she IS from my hometown), so I'm not sad she's gone. [[User:TheCustomOfLife|Mike H]] 23:56, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

== [[Stephen Weierman]] ==

You voted on the VfD for [[Stephen Weierman]] on the 28th of April. The VfD only received your vote and the posters vote, and was seemingly ignored by those closing VfDs. Its been 're-listed' today by [[User:nixie]], although as it received 2 delete/0 keep as well as anon vandalism I can't see why it should have to do so, as it received delete consensus in April. The image in the article is also still on IfD. [[User:Hedley|Hedley]] 18:44, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Why did you remove the ifd header on [[:Image:MeStephenJW.jpg]]? [[User:RickK|Rick]][[User talk:RickK|K]] 21:16, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

:I processed its nomination, along with all the others from April 27. It wasn't deleted since it isn't an orphan. I left a note at [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Stephen Weierman]] (as you saw) asking for it to be renominated once the article that uses it gets deleted. I should have copied the original IFD nomination to [[Image talk:MeStephenJW.jpg]], as I usually do. Sorry about the confusion.

:About the backlog at [[WP:IFD]]: when I left for vacation, I left a request at [[Wikipedia talk:Images and media for deletion#Admin attention needed]]. It appears no one processed IFD while I was gone. I'm back now, but any help would still be appreciated. [[User:Dbenbenn|dbenbenn]] | [[User talk:Dbenbenn|talk]] 21:26, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

==Hidden gem==

I was reading some articles and found my way to Erika Slezak's, so I was pleasantly surprised to find [[Victoria Lord|this]] writeup. [[User:TheCustomOfLife|Mike H]] 20:32, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

==BCE/CE==

Block me for doing what? This has nothing to do with that consensus - as a WP user, I have the right to make such changes if appropriate, and as far as these articles are concerned, it is most appropriate to '''not''' impose Christian POV terminology upon non-Christian related articles. Iranian history is not Christian, and there is no reason to impose BC/AD. To allow BCE/CE for consistency between articles is the most logical and reasonable action. Jguk has been the only user to oppose such actions so stridently. I am not the only user in favor of this, as you will see if you peruse the discussions related to those articles. Regards, [[User:SouthernComfort|SouthernComfort]] 22:21, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

:Shouldn't it be left to the consensus of the users directly involved with the articles themselves? Jguk has 100% no involvement with these subjects, and is only interested in imposing the Christian POV terms, which I, as a non-Christian, find to be extremely offensive, as do many other users. WP policy says '''nothing''' about this other than that '''both''' are acceptable. As I have done nothing contrary to policy, I have done nothing wrong whatsoever, nor has Sunray. I urge you to please take the time to consider why I have initiated this action (as I am deeply involved with Iran-related articles), and to understand that not only have my edits been reasonable and within policy, but that furthermore I have done nothing wrong. All of this has been explained before by myself plenty of times already within the last day or so, but I want to be 100% clear about things. Jguk is the '''only''' user who has been so insistent on imposing BC/AD '''without''' any discussion at all, due to his POV. And again, he has no involvement with aforementioned articles and subjects. Regards, [[User:SouthernComfort|SouthernComfort]] 22:36, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

::Please do not accuse me of anything. I have not made any accusations against you, nor do I wish for there to be hostility. I did not make these changes out of some 'elitist' attempt to go beyond the consensus or the majority. As I related in my previous message, my actions had nothing to do with the results of the consensus. I am personally not interested in imposing BCE/CE upon any Christian or European articles. Zero interest in doing that. But Iranian history is not, nor has it ever been Christian or connected with Christianity. If you agree that imposing BC/AD upon Jewish religion and history is inappropriate, the same holds true. It is just as offensive. BCE/CE is standard in the fields of Near Eastern studies (one of my areas of expertise) and as I am involved in these articles here on WP, I do not see any problem with my actions, and I believe it should be left to the consensus of '''those involved''' with the specific articles in question. I am positive that if you take the consensus of those involved with such subjects, that you will find that BCE/CE is far more in favor. Again, Jguk was unwilling to allow the edits to remain to allow users to discuss. And again, I am well within my rights as an editor to initiate such changes. Please show me the policy that says I am wrong. Regards, [[User:SouthernComfort|SouthernComfort]] 22:47, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
