Hi Rick, I just wanted to thank you for your comments on the list. It's good to know there are editors out there with such a clear grasp of the true dynamics involved, and who are willing to take a stand in the interest of justice, fairness and, ultimately, improving the project. Yours, El_C 23:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This firm is regularly found to be in the top ten IP prosecutors in the U.S., and number one in some fields. If you can spare the time, please revisit Schwegman, Lundberg, Woessner & Kluth, P.A. and reconsider your decision. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:19, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why you're hatred for anti-soda information? - Andrew Lin

He's back, and vandalizing again. Would you mind doing the honors? Andrew, you know by now that wikipedia is not the proper forum for your little crusade, yet you persist. Tisk tisk. - Jersyko 01:23, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

You are longer than me on wikipedia, and probably know more about the policies - any idea on how to stop Argyrosargyrou converting the Cyprus dispute into a completely GC POV article, and accusing everyone of being Turkish apologists/propagandists/nationalists? I am a bit tired of reverting, and do not find it very effective editing like this either. - Snchduer 21:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Which policies has he violated? I got a bit confused with them... - Snchduer 22:50, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note that he is now using evidence which predates my adminship (the same evidence he used against me on my RFA), to claim I am a rogue admin. Unsurprsingly, the page is linked to his <big> signature,. [2] Now, anywhere he goes, he besmirches me, a new step for him. But I am concerned of the impact this would have on new users and my abilities to preform my admin duties (again, considering that his allegations are unrelated to any admin actions, or existence, on my part). Any thoughts? El_C 22:12, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I placed a notice here. Please speak out against is harrasment of myself, Rick. Thank you. El_C 22:20, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This time I did all the research (a lot) before I was gonna list the pages on Vfd, tried to give the benefit of the doubt. Although I knew someone would eventually list them, my last few Vfd's made me feel like an idiot after the outcome, so I'm putting more effort into the research. Sorry your the one who had to do all the rest of the cleanup work though. Thanks for noticing, and the help. <>Who 05:32, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I overwrote your redirect of Boise media to Radio and television in Boise, Idaho with my in-progress edit because the new title does not reflect the full nature of the article.

If you have a better, more fitting article title, feel free to move! Boisemedia 08:09, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

This is the "Roman clubs" section of Club. I merely cut it out and pasted it to its own page. See the history of Club for more information. Anthony Appleyard 10:43, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

thank you very much, I have now fixed the problem hopefully. gren 20:10, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I put an RfC request for Argyrosargyrou. Feel free to contribute: Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Argyrosargyrou

It looks like it might be a misunderstand, but I can't tell. UrbannaChampagne 00:02, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rick, do you know if the Hindu Womens' Universe is mirroring Wikipedia articles? See [3]. I noticed its article is copyrighted 1994-2003. Just checking the Krishna Menon wikipedia article I noticed 95% of it is copied (?) wholesale from the hinduwomen website. JamesBurns 08:33, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Show me that it is most known as "John of Tarent"--Panairjdde 09:21, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I am noticing only now I was too harsh! Bye!--Panairjdde 09:35, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I have made some very unpopular edits, and I would like to ask your advice/assistance. I have butchered the current India Collaboration of the week (Geography of India) and an article in peer review (Wikipedia:Peer review/Terrorism in Kashmir). In both cases, I reverted many and massive edits by several users because one of them seems to copy and paste his contributions from BBC news and similar sources. Guptadeepak has been warned by me and other editors some time ago, but he deleted the relevant comments from his talk page. Now he reverted my reverting of the first copyvio in Terrorism in Kashmir claiming I slaughtered the article. Can you please take a look? I know I should have checked all articles by that user when I warned him – I could have noticed the other problems a week earlier. Anything else I could have done better? Rl 14:52, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I came here mostly because you are one of the people who seem to care about copyvios. I thought if someone copies whole paragraphs from other websites (unattributed), the standard remedy for previously existing articles is to roll back to the version before the copyvio took place. But now I see editors simply "refactor" the text (i.e. change a few words) to disguise the copyvio, and I seem to be the only one who considers that a problem. I have a pretty good understanding of the legal issues, but maybe I was wrong about how seriously these issues are taken at WP. Rl 19:27, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean to insinuate that you or the project don't take them seriously. I am just frustrated since I see many editors take a very lenient stance towards copyvios (exemplified by "Wholesale copying should be discouraged, but there won't be any harmful consequences for Wikipedia if action is only taken in response to complaint. In other words, if individuals want to be vigilant, that's fine, but there's no need to encourage people to be so." from m:Avoid Copyright Paranoia). Sorry for the rant, thanks for your answers, I'll take my problem elsewhere now. Rl 20:02, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote an open letter to you at Wikipedia_talk:Votes_for_deletion#User:RickK's deletion of User:DoubleBlue's question requesting more information on this issue. I would greatly appreciate your response there. Thank you, DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:34, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

RickK,

I saw that you had some concerns regarding the IT Audit page. I would be happy to address any of those concerns. I noticed that Wikipedia did not have an IT Audit material. I teach an IT audit class at Seattle U and suggested that they build out this content as a final project. This content is not intended to suit any specific purpose. It was really just to add content where we saw something missing.

Could you please remove your request for deletion? If you are concerned with the way the information is being presented, please provide guidance on how you would recommend that the students improve it. We are happy to re-format, present in another way, etc.

Thanks,

Heya, you've protected Leeroy Jenkins as a redirect; It was in fact VfDed and the outcome was delete. Perhaps it'd be better to replace it with the no-such-page-here-but-protected-against-vandalism template? The redirect really doesn't make any sense. (If you can't remember the name of the template either let me know, I'm sure I'll be able to find it with a little effort). Thanks. --W(t) 06:10, 2005 May 31 (UTC)

I didn't create the redirect. I don't remember who did, but when I saw that it was a blue link, and then saw that it was a redirect and not a new iteration of the same old article, I just protected it. If you think it shouldn't be a redirect, we can discuss it on Redirects for deletion, I have no opinion one way or the other. RickK 18:18, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

That would be Mgm, who agrees it should be deleted but couldn't remember the template either. Since he agrees it should be deleted and since it was VfDed as a delete, I don't think we need go through an RfD. (I've found the template again, it's {{deletedpage}}). --W(t) 00:33, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)

I'm confused. My archive page is still where I left it. I just checked. I'm not sure what you mean by, "[I] put it into the article name space." Just so you know, the link to my archive is not visible from my talk page. Maybe that has something to do with it. Duckecho 21:31, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please (move it). Pick one site and please let me know which at duckecho@gmail.com. I'll recode the correct link on my talk page. Thanks. I don't know how that happened. I followed the directions...honest. I haven't seen you on the Schaivo talk page in a while. I'm starting to feel lonely. Duckecho 21:50, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Our friend Andrew Lin, now known as 68.170.0.238, is keeping up his health food/battery/anti-soda crusade. If you look at the more recent edits to his talk page, you'll get a sense of the conversation he and i have been having about editing wikipedia responsibly, yet he persists in posting articles that are biased and part of his odd crusade. He admits on my talk page that he's doing this because he "hates soda companies" etc. Anyway, sorry for the long explanation, but it's clear to me that he's not going to change his ways, so I guess I'm asking for another block. Thanks. - Jersyko talk 00:47, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

My apologies, Ricky. I am 18 years old and have much to learn about neutral point of view :( (See latest article on Standard American Diet I will stop talking about soda addictions. 68.170.0.238 06:33, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
