German silver

Please don't include copyrighted material into Wikipedia articles without getting permission from the copyright owner. I had to revert your edit in German silver as it is copyvio from the The Hutchinson Dictionary of Science. --Pjacobi 21:15, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The sentence The letters EPNS on silverware stand for electroplated nickel silver. is a verbatim copy from above source. But I will include the content in expanding the article. Please don't do further reverts. --Pjacobi 21:28, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

This argument is going on in three separate places now: Here, this page, and this page. Samboy 00:38, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Katoomba Scenic Railway

Hi there, I noticed that you made an edit to reword an edit that 203.40.120.202 had made. I'm wondering whether you've actually heard of the urban legend in question. I've reverted an edit to this page before and believe that this is a hoax, although if you've actually heard of the urban legend I'll leave it as it is. JYolkowski 03:21, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

User:Samboy

He's a top contributor who has spent a lot of time stewarding the Atlantium and other micronation articles. I thought he was also an administrator, but I guess not. He's party to an arbitration dispute with User:Gene_Poole, who is really George Cruickshank (see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Gene Poole vs. Samboy) - [[User:KeithTyler|Keith D.

Sealand

That whole section seemed rantish. I don't know who wrote it, and I don't care. It was crap! Heck, it even had a sentence that referred to the article as an object itself, which is totally against form. - Ta bu shi da yu 10:14, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

If you want to see where it start, see [1]. - Ta bu shi da yu 10:39, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Well, I've done a little rearranging. The guy is correct you know. It just needs less righteous anger. - Ta bu shi da yu 10:51, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

School deleters

I know, it's scarcely believable. There are people working on an encyclopaedia, whose founder suggests it will be a repository of all human knowledge, who spend their time trying to rid it of knowledge. It's a bit depressing, although luckily they are mostly awesomely pompous, which makes them fun to read and laugh at.Dr Zen 05:50, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Jus cerebri electronici

Having read through the article more closely I am convinced it qualifies as a rant. It is, however, a reasonably good representation of a moderately widespread delusion, and as such probably deserves mention somewhere. Perhaps when I am feeling more creative I will try to write a neutral summary as a substitution.

Wow

Lots of stuff on Sealand I see. I personally think it should be merged with Sealand, others may think differently. I've put a note on the talk page to get the ball rolling. If you need assistance let me know, as I won't be watching that article. My Wikiactivity is stretched thin as it is! I'm going to have to start relying on users to let me know where potential issues are: beginning with this article I'm starting to delegate :-) - Ta bu shi da yu 11:25, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

redirects

Redirects are really simple, you just clear the page entirely, apart from at the very to where you put #redirect [[article to redirect to]]. Hope that clarifies things. --fvw * 01:28, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

OK I think I've done it right - please let me know if I haven't. Also, do you know how to edit the bit right at the bottom of the Sealand article that shows up as {{sealand}} in the code?--Centauri 01:39, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that looks fine. To edit the footer, you have to go to Template:Sealand and edit that. Under the edit box there's a list of links to the templates in use on the page you're editing. --fvw * 01:42, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)
