User talk:Qwerty Binary/archive3

I'm not even sure what your message means, but I think I'll try to dive in.

1) I didn't revert any of my own edits, as far as I know. I was attempting to revert the edits of an anonymous user who added a great deal of information I was unable to verify through any permutation of google searching, and who didn't see fit to include a citation for even a single one of the facts added to the page. As I noted on the talk page, and as noted in the Wikipedia:Verifiability official policy, "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth."

2) Re: your edit summary. Please review Wikipedia:Vandalism, as your understanding of what constitutes vandalism on wiki appears flawed. "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia."

3) Anyway, do you exactly know what's going on with the page, because at the current, the page has been spell-fixed by myself, and I am astounded as I haven't a single clue about the page; what exactly does it amount to, and what is its purpose? Er, wot? What's the purpose of any page on wikipedia, other than to be informative?

No worries. And sorry if I came off a bit of a prick here. The uncited edits to the article just irritated me. (Also you're right, the anon user can't spell for beans.) Cheers. Ford MF 05:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion but I would prefer not to. If my page is protected then anons can't reply to me on valid points. Second I would rather he vandalise my page so I can catch and block him than have him hit the others where I might miss it. His sort of nonsense does not bother me anyway.

Hello Qwerty -thanks for your help catching the IP talk page blanking of the warnings here at this diff.

I had that page on short-term watch after adding the template so I saw your edit and checked out your user page - just curious! I noticed that on my browser your top user box is overlapped and partly covered up by the ones lower on the page. I thought you'd want to know about that. I use Safari on Mac OS X, so maybe it shows differently than other browsers, but so far, the user boxes I've seen have all lined up well so I wonder if it's something in your page code. The one that is partly covered up is the yellow one at the top, I can't read the words in it... only its top half shows. The next one below it that covers it is the recent changes patroller box.

Anyway, just a friendly hello, and thanks again for your help restoring that template... Parzival418 06:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correctly reverting the article. I must have selected the wrong revision on the history page. Polymerbringer 16:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you; some people just don't want information of their wrong doings to be seen by other people. I would think that it would be better to leave them there instead of deleting them and risking their chances of getting a more severe warning. ^_^ Cheers! -- KeybladeSephi ^{(Talk) (Contributions) (Autograph)} 16:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

you've shown me a good tag for the hebrew and arabic with {{languageicon|he|Hebrew}}, but i'm still wondering about why these tags don't produce the same result:

the tags: {{langx|en|English}},{{langx|he|Hebrew}},{{langx|ar|Arabic}}

the result: English: English,Hebrew: Hebrew,Arabic

thanks for looking into it. Jaakobou 17:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hi - whoever you are!

I say that jokingly, since you are fairly anonymous on here.

I was wondering if you would talk to me on IM. I have more than one instant messenger. you seem to be the polite and nice type, thus I am interested in conversing with you at times. it need not be a hassle to you. I realize that you are busy... enjoy your day. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.174.69.151 (talk) 09:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I read through the links you provided me and uploaded my file with a description of what I did to create it. Waiting to see if it gets trashed. Thanks for your help. BeeDub65 00:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The template you placed on the article says "It is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject" Is it required that a stub contains enough material to show it is notable? My understanding is that a stub only contain enough information that other editors can expand it. I may be mistaken.

I think that perhaps the templates saying "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself." is a violation of: "Jimbo Wales Statement of principles #3 "You can edit this page right now" is a core guiding check on everything that we do. We must respect this principle as sacred." KAM 15:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it worked out, the first one got deleted, so I just rewrote it. As you pointed out it wasn't much of an article. KAM 11:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
