Mary Peters
Peters is not officially the 15th secretary, but I intended the italics to mean that if confirmed she will be (so it was a conditional 15). Otherwise it may appear that Peters falls under or between Mineta like Cino. I don't know for sure Wikipedia's policy, guideline, or practice on this, but sice it is not a crystal ball, I deleted the 15 after reading your question. Also, despite what I wrote in the article, I don't think it's right to say that her nomination is pending. Bush nominated her yesterday, but her ascension to the seat (there must be a better way to say that...) is pending Senate confirmation. Thanks for your question. Does this answer it?

It does. Thanks! And there should be a better way of saying "acension". Maybe "pending confirmation"? Weirdoactor 17:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Your edit to Talk:Halloween
Greetings, Weirdoactor. While I can understand that provocation can bring out the worst in all of us, Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. Please remember that attacks are not tolerated at Wikipedia, under any circumstances. Thanks. :) Justin Eiler 05:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I understand your point of view, and I appreciate your comment. Weirdoactor 15:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello Weirdoactor, please discuss any changes you make at the talk page. The topic has been discussed at lenght and a consensus has been formed which lead to a well balanced article. Specify, in what way you disagree with the content of the article before removing other peoples's text. Also, I ask you to revert the first level warning you misused. A misuse will not be tolerated in Wikipedia. Please read the guidelines for using this template. Do not use it against the people who try to contribute valuebly to Wikipedia. Please read the discussion to this controversial issue at the talk page. This is a reasonable basis for everyone. Thanks. Caloon2000 20:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- You must have me confused with someone who fell off the turnip truck last night, dude. You certainly know a lot of Wiki policy and lingo for a newbie. Methinks you are a meatpuppet, and I will report you as such to the proper authority. I calls them like I sees them; if you don't like that, difficult mammary. -- Weirdoactor 20:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Your message regarding the Vandalizer 24.60.119.106
Hi there, I too am confused why 24.60.119.106 has still not been blocked. However you must realize I am not an administrator :P. I just try as best as I can to edit vandalism where ever I see it. Maybe it would be beneficial if either you or myself report this IP to an administrator.¤~Persian Poet Gal 21:07, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ah. Gotcha. You're like me, a deputy. We need to tell a marshal. I've reported the IP to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, but nothing has been done. If you have any suggestions, it's obvious to me from your contributions and your user page that you're a lot more experienced with this sort of thing than I am...let me know how I can help. Thanks!

Caloon
The caloon matter is not a matter of simple vandalism. I suggest you take it to WP:ANI if there is a continuing issue. JoshuaZ 20:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Will do. Thanks! -- Weirdoactor 20:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- I do however suggest that both of you try to calmly discuss the matter on the talk page and be careful of the 3 revert rule. JoshuaZ 20:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Discussion doesn't seem to be their forte. I smell a meat/sock puppet, and have reported as such. I will not revert the article again. -- Weirdoactor 20:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Re:Your edits to Halloween
It may merit a section if it can be expanded more, but as it stood it was about two sentences long with the admission that Halloween isn't very important in the Caribbean. I think that the section should mostly cover the places where Halloween is most widely observed because more can be written about them. Perhaps instead of adding a section for every obscure country/region in the world, we can add an "elsewhere" section to the page for that type of information.
And yes, I've been known to spell things wrong occasionally, I am human :-). Please correct anything you may see. - Mike | Happy Thanksgiving 22:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
RfC on Keltik31
Thank you for starting the RfC on this user. Anti-Semitism and users who push only POV have no place on Wikipedia. I commented on the RfC. It's pretty consistent with yours. Again, thank you! --Db099221 01:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
