The Chanhassen High School is a high school that is going to be built in Chanhassen, MN. It is planned on opening in Fall 2009. It is expected to have a starting enrollment of about 1,532.6 students and 24199 staff according to www.district112.org. It will cost about 960 million dollars. It is going to be at least 82 stories high, with over 500,000 lockers. It will be a complex that takes up an area of one square mile or 640 acres. The School mascot is going to be the GBM. With the unique mascot, the school is introducing a newly discovered color called plaxice and coordinating it into the schools primary colors which are: Plaxice, Yellow, and Pink. The principal will be Dr. Hoolahand with an assistant principal of Mrs. Brown. |
|||
The school will be built on the recently purchased property from the artist formerly known as Prince. After relocating the significant population of hobos in the area, the new high school will be the first of its kind. It will offer free transportation between the Chanhassen High and its sister school, Chaska High. A tram service and a platoon of segways are the two most popular options being hotly debated. Alternative propositions have been an array of ziplines and/or a catapult. These are only suggested options and are most likely not going to be chosen. |
|||
The Chanhassen GBM's football team will be facing off against the HWH from the colgne high school in their first game in 2009 in their new 100,000 heated-seat indoor stadium. |
|||
To afford the school, taxes in the district will be raised along with fundraising by future students, says district112.org. The future pupils will be going door to door in attempts to sell their souls to any willing customers. |
|||
=Unique Features= |
|||
Chanhassen High School is going to have many unique features. Every desk in the school is going to have a platinum trimming with 40 inch rims on the side. The desk has been voted "most likely to be a wheelchair" according to www.district112.org. Every student will also be designated a customized grill. |
|||
Another unique feature to the Chanhassen High School will be its parking lot, says the district superintendent. The parking lot will be covering an area of 500 acres. "Yes, we know it [will be] big, but it's worth it." says the superintendent. The school is also going to be suspended 500 feet in the air by a swarm of mutant butterflies. The only way to get to the school from your car is by a squadron of eagles, the superintendent states. "Me and the wife are hatching about 700 eagles from 2006 to 2009 so they're strong enough to carry each student to the school entrance 500 feet up. And for the more husky, we will be having a giant trampoline for anyone over 200 pounds, anyone under 200 pounds could possibly be launched into orbit because the trampoline is not calibrated for them." |
|||
On top of the suspended building, there will be a herd of Big Angry Male Flamingos. "They will increase school productivity by 2000%" says the district survey analyst. Underneath the building will be an infestation of the South American Sloth. The Emos of the school have volunteered their time to feed these depressing creatures. "This will give the emos in the school something to do during 1st block options" quoted Principal Hoolahand. |
|||
Throughout the school's intricate system of hallways, there will be paintings of the GBM with him chanting the school's motto "Very Nice!". This has been confirmed by the district office in Chaska, MN, just 10 miles away from the Eagles' Launch Pad. |
|||
The city council is currently voting on a bill that would allow the catcher to use deadly force to clear the way for the eager students. The need for this catcher is because this school will be putting an estimated 10 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere on a monthly basis. In addition to that the eagles that will be used for transportation are endangered and after they have been used they will be killed and made into a coat for the current principal. All of this has been confirmed by district112.org and The principal. The identity of this hippie catcher has not yet been confirmed but it has been rumored that there will be a divining to try to certain Irwin into a new body to hunt and keep these hippies at bay.[[Image:Floorplans.png|thumb|A typical floorplan for the school's entry system.]] |
|||
In addition the school will be employing a new type of discipline in the school. District112.org has confirmed that they are planning to get rid of things like detention and will be employing a new "pimp" based punishment system. "This is a brand new system that has been found to be very effective" says one administrator. He also confirmed that if any students are caught misbehaving, being disrespectful or offensive in any way depending on the severity of the offense they will have to spend time with the school pimps who will then "pimp slap" out the punishment. Another administrator said that they plan on hiring 15 of the most accomplished pimps to keep the students in line. One confirmed pimp is the well-known Pimp Master P-Dub. "The punishments will range from a pimp slap to a full hour of pimp decided punishment, we will be trusting them to deal out a new brand of street based justice on students" said another Administrator. These pimps will be characterized by their school color fur suits which will be made from very rare endangered virgin baby snow leopard and their solid diamond pimp canes. |
|||
The Chanhassen High School has a very intense system to prepare the child's brain for the school day. With school planning on starting at 4:13 AM 6 days a week, the student must arrive early to get through the entrance process. The entrance of the school, after being dropped off by the eagles, is comprised of a maze floor plan that changes daily (Just like the district's password system). The maze system is highly integrated with interchangable walls, to ensure that no two days are ever alike. It is said that it would take at least 3 hours for a person with an IQ of 200 to get through. Students that don't make it through the maze, can push a escape button designated throughout the maze. The escape button will open a trap door beneith their feet, dropping them into the infestation of South American Sloths and Emos. Since the student did not attend school for that day, they are disaplined accordingly with the Pimp System. After the pimp based justice is administered the students will then be thrown back into the sloth pit and must fight their way past sloths and emos. The problem arises because of all of the razor blades that are held by the emos will cut the person trying to escape so unless you are a true GBM you will most likely die. |
|||
=Opening= |
|||
The School will be opening sometime in 2009, the school opening will be celebrated by many famous people visiting. Rumoring to include Neville Flynn(the head lining character in a movie featuring MF legless reptiles in an MF airborne cylinder). Also rumored is the gapped-toothed Laurence "Morpheus" Fishburne. The infamous Venezualan President, Jugo Chavez has recently confirmed his appearance at the ribbon cutting ceremony(6/6/06). |
|||
=School Pride= |
|||
Many future students are expressing their school pride. The GBM's have confirmed a design for the school flag. It will be star-shaped with five points. Each point stands for a quality of the school; Pride, American, Big, Rich, and Emo. A picture of the GBM is plastered across the middle of the flag. A flock of baby balooga whales are in the lower right hand point of the star-shaped flag. The school motto, "Very Nice!", is streaming gayly across the flag in the multi-school-colors, Plaxice, Yellow, and Pink. The top point of the flag will have think bold text displaying "MF Est. 2009". The left point will display the lyrics to the school song described in the next paragraph. The lower left point of the star will have the symbolism of the school's rival; the Gaylord Fockers of Gaylord, MN. The symbol will have a giant red X smothering it. Lastly, the right point has the SU-FI symbol, also represented by Dane Cook. Mr. Cook, good friends with Mrs. Brown, okayed the use of the SU-FI in his Sept. 19, 2006 conference.[[Image:FLAG copy.jpg|thumb| The Chanhassen GBM's Flag]] |

The School Song was written by [[Azamat Bagatov]], the famous producer from Kazakhstan featured in [[Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan]]. |

"''Chanhassen High School is the greatest, School in the World. All the other schools are run by little girls. Mr. Hoolahand Established this great place. If you think you are better, go ahead and be sprayed by some mace. Oh how Chanhassen is so great! So great indeed. We have mutant butterflies, and fockers that we beat.

slave trade triangle
OK. Let me try clicking the + sign tab.
In the slave trade triangle article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_trade , there is mention that the slave trade started circa 1500. Yet Columbus's voyage was 1492. Only 8 years? 128.195.84.154 03:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
oops
Hi, I see your sig in RC Patrol all the time, usually right after you've beaten me in an edit conflict. I was following up on an IP edit and noticed this. It looks like you reverted a blanking, but accidently restored some vandalism. Not a big deal, and already fixed (ironically, by another IP edit); I just wanted to mention it. I had the same thing happen recently, and when I went back throgh the article carefully, I found a couple of "embedded" vandalisms that had been layered in. That seems to happen fairly often when we don't catch nonsense right away; it gets buried by successive edits. Anyway, keep up the good work...maybe one of these days you will lose an edit conflict to me. : ) Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 05:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Can you please do something about vandalism by User:59.163.25.48?
I just had to delete more of his nonsense from Gasification. Take a look at User talk:59.163.25.48 and you can see that he has been warned time and time again ... I think more is needed than just another warning. Regards, mbeychok 06:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Just when...
...you thought you saw it all. Here's an odd bit of editing [1]. It carries over from rather lengthy discussions in the article's talk page, the image's page, the image's IfD, and on the Admin's notice board[2]. This comprises pages of reading, but the important part is that I'm pretty sure the edits I removed really didn't belong there. In fact, they looked rather vindictive to me. Thoughts? Rklawton 07:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- I was thinking more specifically about the editorial comments added to the image caption than about anything else. I probably muddied up that point by including all the other stuff. There's a pretty noisy dispute in Commons about the image itself, and that dispute probably motivated the caption edit. However, my primary concern was the nature of the edit itself. It appeared to me to be extraordinarily unprofessional, but I understand if you'd rather stay out of it. Its probably moot since the editor hasn't restored the offending comments anyway. Cheers, Rklawton 01:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Self-Promotion
There is an editor on Illinois State University#Notable alumni who keeps pushing his former employer Scott Mitchell, i.e. Scott Mitchell (businessman) and the latter's commercial internet business Think Partnership. I'm thinking they are all written by the same guy, or at least a close-knit circle. Am I being too much of a stickler for the rules with this guy, or is it he who is in the wrong, or both? I've had enough of reverting this; I need an admin to weigh in. Thank you! Wahkeenah 07:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- sorry to but in but I agree with Wahkeenah on this. Scott Mitchell's wiki entry was just edited for a bunch of weasel words and such. The editors only cause of being here seems to be to promote his employer. Anything that sheds anything but a positive light on his pages get reverted by possibly this user or the "close-knit" circle. This includes blanking the Scott Mitchell talk page. RedBirdI55 16:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

RE: Bohemian Club members Category
Hi,
I am also very concerned about providing proper references for this information. I am working on acquiring references for all of this information, if you look at the Bohemian Club article you will notice that I have already added references for many of the members.
--PEAR 23:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Bohemian Club
I think I'm going to take another long break from Wikipedia. This place is rediculous. You wouldn't ask for these sort of references if someone wrote "Bush is the greatest guy and he's done lots of good things for America & the world.", but if anyone writes anything against the dictatorship it's quickly removed.

I got this on my talk page today:
Please remember to subst
Hello, HalfShadow, I would like to remind you to subst warning templates on user talk pages. You can do this by using {{subst:test2}} instead of {{test2}}. Thanks! --SonicChao 22:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)'
I've been doing it the second way ({{test2}}) since pretty much forever and before now nobody's said to do it any certain way to me. As I can't verify whether this guy is an admin or not, I thought I'd ask one. Does it matter which I use? HalfShadow 01:06, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- I just wanted to verify whether it was procedure or not. Like I said, nobody'd said anything about it before now and I've been here a few months. If I'm supposed to be doing it that way, that's all I need to know. HalfShadow 01:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
AWB and unicode
I use AWB for several purposes. One of the default automatic options is to convert the article to unicode. I just use the default; I am not looking to change fractions, etc. What I have found in that the AWB defaults seem to implement MoS so I do not question them. Could you perhaps take this up with the AWB owner/maintainer? Thanks Hmains 03:11, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Gwernol, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions!

UMBRIA
Gubbio seems to be a fairly new user, why don't you trying working it out with him instead of deleting it everytime. What he is claiming is deeply rooted in the Umbrian culture. Deleting it may be seen as attacking the culture. Help him come to a rephrasing that works for both of you.--Caligvla 07:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Gubbio is a new user, ok, but he/she shouldn't do reverts of grammatically and syntactically wrong sentences. If he wants to impose his/her point of view, he could try at least to write in correct english, since this is the english language wiki. The talk page on Umbria gives all the details about this. The fact that the things written are only partially true, and for sure all of them questionable, is of primary concern, moreover. I think that, if you can, you should block that page. --Cantalamessa 12:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- You did break 3rr but I'm warning you instead, please stop reverting. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 01:04, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Gwernol, I got your Talk msg and saw that you removed the link I added on the Rolex page.

Thank you, but . . .
It would be nice if you read fully the additon I made to the piece you chose to block. Then again, as a Brit you share a history of not reading what we colonists write. My addition was not vandalism of redundancy but was an expansion on a prior thought. Perhaps if you had learned from your British ancestors over 231 years ago you would realize that we petulant children here in the colonies do not take lightly the oppression, be it taxation or literary, of the British. The IP address is 208.58.177.214, remove the block. WHile appreciate your efforts I feel that your zealous reading led to an error on your part. Kindest Regards.

Interesting that I did not edit that page. I edited a section on the Declaration of ind. page that focused attention on the influence on that document on Ho Chi Minh. Also, my response was not a personal attack but a cultural attack.

UK heritage stations
Template:UK heritage stations seems to have disappeared and User:Mackensen has changed all the FR and WHR station info boxes to the generic UK Railway Stations Infobox. Any ideas why?? Stewart 18:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you - that explains the how. I had trawled through the templates for deletion pages for the last month and had not seen any notification. I would have appreciated a notification appearing before what appears to have been a summary deletion. Stewart 18:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
The proposal originated with Captain scarlet (talk), who nominated it for speedy deletion. I was on CSD patrol at the time. Noting that the templates were duplicates of each other (save formatting), I did the replacements and deleted the less-used template. I apologize for the confusion.

What is spam?
In October, you removed a list of software from the article bandwidth test. Why? Wikipedia:Spam says that "differentiation should be made between spam articles and legitimate articles about commercial entities". This article is about such software, and makes no sense without concrete examples. You may discuss this at talk:bandwidth test. Mange01 23:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Gwernol, not sure if you knew there is a template for a vandal who reverts him or her self. It is {{test-self}}. Please use that when an experimenter reverts themself, it gives credit for the self revert. KillerChihuahua?!? 10:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Gwernol, I was not experimenting with the wikipedia Penis article page, I intended to add that video. The Penis article has a link that says that there is media available for Penis at the Commons. I click it, and there is a video of a very important function of the penis there. I edit the Penis article page and add the link to the See Also section so as not to disrupt the article itself. You reverted the edit and left me a message to go play in the sandbox.

Anyway I don't know why I am writing this all down, but I wanted to tell you that you need not worry about me anymore. I joined to remove some vandalism myself, but found that it had already been deleted...No unawkward way to end this message so I'll just stop typing. WikiDaily

Gwernol - please do not block users unless they have broken the rules.
I am concerned that you blocked my son from editing some details on your Thomas the Tank Engine pages. My son has Aspergers Syndrome, and his knowledge of this subject is encyclopaedic - mainly thanks to the Wikipedia site. I can assure you that none of the edits he made were false, although the reason for blocking him was given as "persistently posting false information" or similar - I can't remember the exact wording, as the block is now lifted. I would like you to consider, that the information that he posted was taken from other parts of the Wikipedia website, and he did not post anything with any intention of malice. He was in fact, extremely upset at your action. Please think more carefully in future before taking such drastic steps. And if you had actually looked at the edits he has made more carefully, you would have seen that there was no false information added to the site whatsoever. 81.152.177.105 23:56, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- For future information, an example of the false edits made by this IP is this one. The Thomas the Tank Engine have been under repeated attack by editors adding false information like this to the articles. Gwernol 00:10, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Season 11 of Thomas the Tank Engine
You state that Season 11 does not exist - no, this is because it is currently in production. Unfortunately, all references to it on this site have recently been removed, whether by yourself, I don't know. If so, any evidence that he has to back up his information has been removed. All I can reiterate, is that the Season 11 information he had, was obtained from Wikipedia. I think that you will agree that all his other edits hardly warrant blocking him from editing. Please refrain such such over-zealousness.

Hi, I thought you might be interested to know that I just wrote a new Nice guy article completely from scratch.

User:24.63.203.132 and CFD process obstruction
Hi.
User:24.63.203.132 has been persistently adding Category:Fictional heroines (or '~ heroes', as appropriate) to various Thomas characters - particularly Emily, and has even removed hidden comments warning against this action. You have warned him before about this.
His latest ploy was to remove the CFD notification from Category:Fictional heroines so that other users would not know a CFD was underway. This is beyond vandalism. Having reverted the cat change once, I have since asked for the cat page to be sprot'ted, as this will hopefully allow sufficient time for the CFD to run its course. (Currently the CFD has 5/5 'delete' votes!)
Not specifically asking you to do anything, but thought you'd like to know the current situation.

If clearly and consistently defining love is such a difficult task, why is it defined in the opening line of the entry? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.75.46.55 (talk • contribs) .
Hi, perhaps you can help. You appear to have deleted a page. Im a bit confused.
I received a post complimenting my addition to deborah cooper and requesting the singers bio be expanded and 'wikified'. granted this is new to me but i AM trying
- the block may have been as i used a template, my first time, when i didn't see it in my contributions nor search, I thought i forgot to hit submit, so i recreated it. It was not intended to be malicious at all. I am not familiar with previous entries or if it the same person.
Per the request in seeking further information on the Artist Deborah Cooper I found her Manager, who is well known in the industry and created a page. It was not to advertise, it was to enhance the previous article, add a significant contributor to entertainment, dance music and AIDS fundraising. I just found he had significant effect on getting industry legends to perform at events to raise fund and awareness. This seems like the type of interesting persons to be included. And as you know research turns up even more information
I provided sources, material. example; checking the references of society of singers , a 501 (c) 3 registered charities newsletter, available online verifies his association, contributor status a "major", his work with celine dion and other artists. The Centaur music page refers to his professional relationships with singer;
I have other pieces, info people I would like to contribute and expand upon however such seemingly caviler deletions causes me concern as to the purpose contributing further, and obfuscates the purpose of this site to me. Seems more an esoteric club now rather than source or encyclopedia. if specific sections cause concern, identifying same would be helpful.
One is hard pressed not to find any entertainers reference not to appear promoting in some way, im afraid to even look up donald trump, but i am trying to promote in depth information in my contributions
I used a few established wiki pages of similar people like michael ovitz to base the layout and info on. Im unsure how person, living or dead write up wont sound like it is somewhat promoting ..look at what he/she did.. however I was provided facts and references.
I appreciate your taking the time to review this message.
I sincerely request it be undeleted ( sorry not familiar with wiki terms)

- It's not hate. Its my point of view, of course, but there's nothing wrong about it. Why block me? Just because you caught me this one time? Many users before me have done the same thing, they didn't get blocked. How is it a message of hate? It's so hard to be Christian nowadays. Its all about not offending and not pushing views. How bout if I just say I believe in Jesus. Is that offending? Am I pushing my view on you? I don't think so. I am saying what I believe. Just think about this rhetorical question, if you say "Ice Cream is the the best!" Are you pushing your view, your opinion on me? "That's POV! MUST CENSOR!" How are people going to know if its just written down? If its all textbook. They'll never learn the love of Christians. Can I not say this, and give an explanation of why I believe this? Block me if you will, I've said what I have to say. I just hope someone finds salvation out of this arguement. -71.224.24.99

Vandalism
Please see Wikipedia's no vandalism policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you 62.64.211.238 16:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
The policy is: Category tags regarding religious beliefs and sexual preference should not be used unless two criteria are met:
- The subject publicly self-identifies with the belief or preference in question
- The subject's beliefs or sexual preferences are relevant to the subject's notable activities or public life
She has talked in interviews about her same-sex activity. She brought it into the public domain herself. The progress of the open public self-identification of bisexuals/homosexuals clearly relevant to public life. You get the policy wrong and vandalise.One more revert and you will be blocked. 62.64.211.238 16:32, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Loken and Rodriguez
I see that you have been removing the bisexual tag from Michelle Rodriguez's article. I thought you might want to know that people keep adding it to Kristanna Loken also. Even though it seems pretty obvious that they are, in fact, bisexual, it seems that we should hold ourselves to a pretty high standard of proof before adding this kind of category to the biography of a living person.
Unfortunately, I've already reverted the Loken article a few times today, and I don't want to get into a battle of whether or not I have violated 3RR policy. So, I'm leaving it alone unless you or someone else wants to change it. Chicken Wing 20:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
In fact the standard of proof should be the same as e.g. "category: former members of the girl guides": homosexuality/bisexuality is an "issue" for swamp creatures. Wikipedia, being a part of the civilized world, should not bow to such types, but treat it as any other fact. Pretty obvious. I'd say. 80.225.1.87 20:42, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. You may not be aware, but Danny Fenton is a popular cartoon on Nickelodeon. User:Danny Fenton chose his username from the show. User:Danny K. Fenton, obviously a younger editor who registered today, appears to have wanted to be "User:Denny Fenton," found the username taken, and got annoyed in a childish way.

I made a change on the Lebanese_Arabic page by adding a link to my translation of the Bible into Lebanese as well as providing a link to Lebanese Spell-checker for MS Word.

So, it is true, you are information Nazis
Thank you for proving my point. I don't want to sign up with you but I gave you a very valid bit of information. It included a translation of the Bible into the Lebanese Language and a spell-checker for MSWord. Still you call it vandalism. It is obvious, you are being paid to twist the truth and ignore information as you please. Wikipedia is not what it claims. My personal email appeared earlier in the page.

Sexuality
I made a change to the sexuality page a few minitues ago. I added that the Koran allows for up to four mistresses, and that a man is allowed to have sex with them. This is true. Look, I have just started to edit pages, so maybe I did something wrong and thats why I "vandalized." I am a student of Arab history, and any Muslim would agree with what I am saying.
- Wives, yes (based on Mohammed's life), mistresses, no. Even the multiple wives part is dodgy since the husband must love them equally, and some might argue that this is an impossibility. Lastly, it's permitted only under dire circumstances. Adultery, on the other hand, is punishable by death. Rklawton 02:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

- It was not, it was intended to prevent further problems. You removed a factually correct edit without any explanation, which is discourteous. Please treat fellow editors with more respect.

Hi again; could I draw your attention to User:209.129.220.55, whom you warned earlier this month?

Any thoughts?--Anthony.bradbury 01:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, if it had been a first-time vandal I would have used a {{test3}}. And of course I know that it's probably a shared IP. But what else can I do?--Anthony.bradbury 01:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- My personal opinion is that only account holders should be enabled to edit wikipedia. But I am fully aware that this is not the majority view, or the the view of those whose opinion counts.--Anthony.bradbury 01:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry not to have answered before. My circadian differs from yours! I suppose that the only advantage would be that, in the case of multiple users using a single IP you could block by username, allowing other users to go on editing. But I know that they could just make fresh accounts, and yes, I do understand that status quo is the consensus. It's just that as a committed vandal hunter it annoys me!--Anthony.bradbury 13:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Deleting content from Talk:Discussion page
Hi Gwernol, thanks for your message. Indeed I was trying to delete that discussion topic I started. I should have put a reason for doing so. Basically, I regret writing it and want to check my facts before introducing my idea again.
I tried proposing that it be deleted before (see history), and gave my reason for the proposal, hoping that someone more in the know would help me out and take care of it for me, but I merely got chided. Then I went to "Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion" and posted this query (with subsequent response from SUIT below it):
---
Deleting a topic section on an article's Discussion page
Might someone tell me how to delete a topic I started on an article's discussion page? I don't want the article itself deleted of course, I just want a topic section that I started to be deleted because I think it's wrong and misinformative and I want to take it back. I dropped "subst:prod|..." (with the proper brackets) into the section but was only mocked by Nigelj for doing so. How do I delete an article's discussion topic? Thanks for your help.
Hi again. For clarity, suppose for instance I wanted this very discussion topic section (i.e., "Deleting a topic section on an article's Discussion page") deleted. How would I go about that? Thanks a bunch.
What are you talking about?--SUIT 05:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I get it. I'll tell you: You select it and press "backspace".--SUIT 05:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I just took the advice for face value, and went ahead and deleted it. I suppose I should have left the same reason I did eariler though. Altogether, I'm afraid that this is really starting to give me a headache, and i know that if I try deleting it again I'm just going to get another random person leaving me a message telling me i've done wrong somehow.
Might you be able to delete what I had deleted earlier for me?
Thanks for your time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.143.113.32 (talk • contribs) .
Well, thanks for the advice. While I suppose you're right, I still think that this wikipedia thing's seriously sinister business, in a Foucauldian/panoptic/all seeing/all knowing way. It traps you very easily. And you're essentially helpless as long as there's a permanent tracking history. You can never remove yourself from this place should you feel you want to. Someone out there is laughing -- bwaahahaha -- in that evil way. For instance, this message I'm writing you right now is accessible for all time, to anyone, forever.
And my apologies for overwriting someone else's stuff earlier. That was an accident actually. But ironically, you were able to get it back without any problems!! (there's just no erasing anything).
2.Re:
G,
1st thanks for your note back too me. It was much clearer than the one received this morning by W support people. Which also looks like another auto response. My personal email is [email protected] and any help PLEASE feel free to contact me and or change copy help I would love very much. I shall work on the photo copyright thing.
For example I shall take off the original of Madonna and replace it with the actual magazine cover. Which is public. That is as on photographer’s pages such as Richard Avedon etc.
As for the text I shall send your ideas onto the person who wrote the text. I had them look at a number of other known photographers W pages to give them sort of a template to work from. The use my generic profile and then asked me some questions before I posted that. I shall attempt to make it more generic. But I am open to your ideas later today after I re-post that. Ahhhh……
I really thank you for you help and that it seems much more understandable. Best always, Curtis13:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)~

Well my friend seems pissed aboutre-write. For which I promised to do a portrait. Ahwell. They changed text. Which is a culmination of bios from my 8 books and my web sites bio as well as others. Photo of Dennis Hopper & I is a snap in the studio W can use free. Madonna’s Island cover is her 1st cover & I am fine about public domain. That tag thing I just don’t get at all. But I hope this works. Thanks G, Curtis

I have written W support. I got an answer only a scientist could understand.
Also I tried to add "My" portraits to pages after they or family requested; Timothy Leary Andy Warhol Chrome Hearts
I asked W about how to do. I got an answer ONLY a computer person could understand. It was day wasted and I ended up feeling stupid.
All I know is W has pics of mine now & I have them not displaied.
At any rate in 2 year old lingo, please what where how am I doing what wrong. If you need to call 917-721-2198. I really want to understand this in simple way. I am getting a mail a month (about) from people who seem to want to use my portraits on the W site. That is how I found out about you to begin with.

Hey Thanks for not immediately blocking me from posting after I vandalized that one page a week ago. I would have thought that if you were discovered vandalizing that you'd immediately be kicked, but I'm glad you gave me a chance, because I read (well, I'm still reading) the guide to editing you sent me a link to and I'm really getting into this stuff. I created my first page and I've been adding tidbits of info to any subject I know about. I was also wondering (I'm sure I can find this info somewhere, but I thought I'd ask you) If Wikipedia has any sort of recognition system for posting? For Example: Editors would get ranked based on the number of creations or the quality of their creations...or would that just encourage rampant creation of bad articles? Also, is there any way to check on editors and how many pages they've made? I'll try to figure this out myself, but if you have the time I'd apreciate a response. Thanks Again!

No problem editing me out
Expected someone would remove my reasons why Bush should not yet be impeached, much as I'd like to see it. Guess it's a fine line between opinion, research, and presenting data. The hardback encyclopedias certainly weren't shy about letting some writers give their viewpoints...actually the thrust of the whole article on why we should impeach is certainly based on an opinion, although it is well enough cited. I was just trying to give some balance, but it's hard to always cite counter-arguments in politics. Anyway, appreciate your letting me know why you did this.

user70.28.166.197 issues
I have noticed several edits by user70.28.166.197 that concern me regarding POV violations. How do you approach this without creating an edit war or having the person retaliate in the article or in other articles one edits or creates? The edit by this user in the article named, engraving, is one that I would like to delete or drastically rewrite without the POV now presented. When I looked to see when the edit appeared and by whom, I discovered many topics this person has edited that I think should be changed away from the POV as it exists. What would you recommend? Shouldn’t an administrator act here?
I see that you have put the user on notice, but I do not see any resolution of the issue and, more importantly, see other edits that seem to be after the notice, that ignore the warning. 83d40m 20:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I'm the one who recently removed the pictures on the Child page. I wasn't trying to be an asshole or vandal, it's just the pic of the 9 year old girl and the paintings of those little girls look a bit borderline, and pedophiles may be able to get their sick kicks off of them. I only meant to remove those, by the way; Not the picture of the Indian girls or the little boy. Jonny 23:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

My "Vandalism"
How exactly did i vandalize JzG's page? I would like you to tell me insteadof being rude and warning me. Sportsguru9999 05:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Once again you are being very condescending to me. Please tell me how I vandalized JzG's and your user page because I honestly don't think I did. If I did, then I guess you get the satisfaction of rubbing it in my face since you like being condescending to me, and if I didn't, I would like justification. Responses like: "You are perfectly well aware of how you vandalized both my talk page and JzG's page" really don't help find a solution here. I would really appreciate if you would show me proof that I vandalized. Thank you, and try using your manners next time. Sportsguru9999 02:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Once again you are false. I looked in the history of each talk page. All I put is I love you marry me, because i really love you guys. You guys do so much and i used to admire you. I still admire JzG but not you. You are now very condescending and rude. I guess when you are really excited to be an admin you become this way. So I did not call JzG a dildo, i do not know where you got THAT from, but if saying i love you is a big problem, i dont know what isnt a problem. Sportsguru9999 02:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Once again, wrong. The edit summary simply says dil. Where I am from this is a slang word. It is almost like putting "sick" or "awesome" or "Whatever" or something. Don't assume things. I wouldn't call someone a dildo. I did not come close to saying that. Also, please stop being rude to me. My edits saying "i love you" are from the heart and i mean it, i HAD respect for you. If it is a huge problem for your pompous self then i am sorry. I would really like it if you spoke to me as your equal or at least like a human. Thank You Sportsguru9999 03:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Stop being rude to me please. Sportsguru9999 03:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
They did come from the heart, until you started being rude and accusing me of false vandalism. Dil is not short for dildo, i know what the word means and it means whatever where i am from. You obviously don't get out much. Secondly, i agreed with the user sticking up for himself against your rude, pompous, over-zealous behavior. I like when the little guys stick up for themsleves. His edit was bad, but u are cruel and condescending, and you deserve it. Please stop your hypocrtitical behavior before i get angry Sportsguru9999 03:33, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Can you double check? Looks like you left him a message he was blocked, but doesn't look like he actually is. Fan-1967 21:11, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
External references to immages from de:Zahnradbahn. They should stay there until you, I or anyone else figures out how to copy them from the German text to the English text so that they show up properly. I have tried but so far without success.

Perhaps you could post the following to the Wiki commons
or tell me how, better yet, how do I get these into the English language article?

Firstly, I appologize if this is in the wrong section. Secondly, I fail to see how this statement, "the symptoms documented that many of the accusors exibited are very similar to those of female hysteria, an occurence closely related to the post-traumatic stress of rape," is unencyclopedic. Please explain.
(((If you really want to hear it and not be in denial, read this: I am a university student and have recently discovered your website regarding the Salem Witch Trials. As far as probable causes, please look into the possibility that Reverend Parris (or another prominent member of the community) had sex with the girls, causing them to be so very traumatized (see "female hysteria" of the Victorian era or "Rape Trauma Syndrome"). I know is a difficult concept to accept, which is likely why it has been ignored for so long.
Please do not hastily discount this possibility. If the convulsions and hysteria were due to a disease or some such cause, it would not adequately explain why the young girls were primarily the ones so very traumatized (rather than young boys, adult men and women, babies, or the elderly).
The Puritan society was quite reactionary. Girls were expected to be virgins (particularly at the age of 9 or 11). Virgins who are raped are known to be highly traumatized. The girls had no one to tell that they were raped in the highly conservative culture (how could they say that they had sex at age 9? that they were raped? that it was their father/uncle who did it? that it was the Reverend who did it? that it was statutory rape? that it was incest?). It is very common for rape victims, in their psychologically traumatized state, to try to protect the perpetrator, as irrational as that may seem to a non-rape victim. After Betty Parris moved to live with her relatives (and likely away from whatever was traumatizing her), her afflictions seemed to have subsided. The Reverend, from my readings, displays many key signs for potential rapists (selfishness to the point of divine-right, hostile/threatening disposition,excessive anger, obsession, et cetera). He certainly tried to convince his parishioners that there was Satan and witchcraft in their midst, trying to dissuade people from the church, him, and God. From my readings, he appears to have tried to manipulate the town into believing the traumatized reactions were a result of witchcraft. He likely told them that it would be a sin if they resisted. He beat his slave, Tituba, in order to force a confession. Sick people are rarely sick in just one aspect of their lives. Sane girls do not go crazy for no apparent reason. Something seriously traumatic must happen for an otherwise mentally healthy individual to feel hysterical.
In this era, rape victims can get the psychological help they need to get through the trauma. Healthy recovery is brought about by discussing the issue with others. If one is not able to discuss their trauma (as is very likely in the case of the Salem girls), their post traumatic stress/ rape trauma symptoms will not disappear. The girls were likely in heavy denial (as is common in rape cases) and were also likely to try to irrationally protect the perpetrator. Children can be easily manipulated. Additionally, children cannot bear children, meaning that there is less of a risk of a pregnancy scandalizing the town. If it was indeed the reverend, it is clear that he is sick, and grotesquely so. But, that doesn't mean it wasn't rape. There are many sick people, he just happened to have more power than most. Even if it was not the Reverend who raped, the girls reactions are very similar to the convulsions felt by rape survivors; it is so very likely that the girls were raped by someone in their community (if not multiple people, or the same person on multiple occasions).
If the girls ever admitted they were just playing at their hysteria, they were likely in denial. Female hysteria and Rape Trauma Syndrome are very real and very common occurrences and have been documented throughout history.
Please look into this and respond right away, as it is a very likely, and perhaps the most probable, cause for the hysteria.

Am I a Borat vandal?
I'll stand by your judgement that my last edit to the Borat page was vandalism. However, as an article I'd suggest one discussing what his fans thought was his finest moment was of high interest to Wikipedia. I guess it's pretty subjective but I'd suggest it's of more interest than "Borat in Paris" or "naked pics of women in Borat's new book". But all in all, I think Wikipedia is great - and you're obviously a lot more experienced than me - so I like you. I am big like can of Pepsi. BoratOnline 06:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

You are a typical example of what holds wikipedia back from realizing its real potential
I am not the first to question/disagree with your reversion of edits others make, and it's obvious that I shall neither be the last. It's unfortunate you are deluded into believing yourself to be an authority on everything such that you evidently think your viewpoint must trump that of many others. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.116.214.132 (talk • contribs).

Thank you for your efforts.
I was about to make a change to some insolent fool's edit to Frederick Douglass's wiki page. The user added "HES A NI**ER" to the page under the SEE ALSO section. You would think any intelligent person (white, like me, or otherwise) would easily recognize what a great man Douglass was (black, or otherwise). Clearly this "editor" is as unintelligent as the thing he/she wrote - "'HES' a ...". How about the proper use of an apostrophe as in "He's a great man". As a new user to wikipedia (in fact I registered just so I could revert the ugly edit), I was amazed to see the edit removed before I even had a chance to. Wikipedia... amazing!

Spam notices
Hi Gwernol,
I will certainly try to be more diligent about leaving messages on user's talk pages when I revert spam. I usually do it when the user has actually created an account, but when it's an anonymous IP address, I tend to go through their recent contributions and revert the recent batch.
thanks.

I need help because an user clobbered my archive page
Help. A user was attempting to clone my archive page (see this page). However, they did a move instead of copying the source. Now my history for that page is lost and all I have there is a redirect. Can you fix this problem for me? I can revert his changes, but until the redirect page is deleted, I can't move the archive page back.
His version of the page is at User talk:Ludvikus/Archive 1. I started a relevant conversation at User talk:Ludvikus#Please be more careful when creating your own archive!!!!!!. -Will Pittenger 03:02, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you had some interactions with this editor.
FYI, I was looking for instances of mytreo.net spam, so I was looking at Treo-related articles. I found some was added by User:The Mad Bomber. Then I noticed a similar editing pattern:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JSJ_Antivirus&action=history
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JSJ_Software&action=history
I'm not sure either is spamming mytreo.net links, but I knew both had been problematic, so I thought I'd let you know.

Real link / spam link
Hi. I don't really understand the different between adding real link with spam link.
What is the "definition" of spam links? I see links to articles (stated by "article by first-name last-name" , however when I put a link to my article (where the content is new and USEFUL and I also put the content in here) with similar method, I'm said to be spamming. If government website or any authority website, I could understand, however, the links are just articles to ordinary websites. And, it's been there for a long time even though the page has been changed several times. What's the different with my links?
I've also found lots of links to individual(non governmental) websites, and most of them have been there for a long time although the page is changed for several times. I've also found a page that consist links to websites around 50 of them. From the "wikipedia is not", I think the page should be erased altogether, however, it's not.
From "Wikipedia is" I found that I'm encourage to put my link at resource section if the content is put on the page and it really is useful. But, when I do that, my links got deleted. Is this deletion from Admin or from my competitors? I don't understand the logic here. Could you explain it to me? Mr zhang 08:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
