Maureen Dowd

I like your caption to that Maureen Dowd photo! "Maureen Dowd strikes a journalistic pose". I always think Wikipedia could do with a bit more wit and sharp writing. RMoloney (talk) 19:21, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm glad you liked the picture and the caption :-). It may not be NPOV though. Check out these alternates at Drudge's site.--malber 16:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm...

... care to explain the following edit? Seems like extreme POV pushing to me! - Ta bu shi da yu 07:19, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Doesn't matter, it's been reverted already...and hundreds of edits since. --malber 15:54, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Are you a dumbass?

Why do you keep putting crap and vandalizing Winnermario's user- and talkpage? --Anittas 23:11, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I kind of like this heading. I think from time to time, everyone should ask themselves, "Am I a dumbass?" --malber 20:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article First Internet Backgammon Server (F.I.B.S.), which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Bohemian Rhapsody ballad/slow section

For what it's worth, I agree with you - I don't recall reading anywhere else that that section is specifically a "ballad".--Stevage 11:59, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Cool (song)

You may be interested in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Pop music issues. I see that you have pasted into the Talk page the paragraph that you are concerned violates WP:NOR. You might want to consider illustrating each fact in that paragraph that is uncited. It would be easier to find appropriate citations for individual facts than for an entire paragraph.

your opinions on flatulence.

Wikipedia is not about politeness. The standard is not "what would you say when you go to the doctor", it is "what would the user put in the search box". -Justforasecond 02:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

redux

For future reference -- articles are to be titled based on "what would the user put in the search box" (not redirected) Its a simple policy. -Justforasecond 03:51, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Do you also propose that we change the article titled "Sexual intercourse" to "Fucking"?--malber 04:02, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

db

If you are nominating an article for deletion, please always give the reason why you think it should be deleted. The {{db}} template requires a reason, for example {{db|nn-bio}}. -- RHaworth 00:34, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Star

Thanks for the Barnstar, my first! Jtmichcock 00:45, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Fort Raleigh National Historic Site

Let's just say it's almost not a stub. I'm glad you like it. — Eoghanacht ^talk 18:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the compliment, but I just personally feel that any subject I have an interest in is "deserving of my talents". Although given the controversy involving the Strickland article and November (film), I'm rather hesitant about writing an article that is later promoted to featured status, and then it being criticised for the subject's supposed lack of notability. Regardless, I'm working on an article at the moment that I intend on submitting to FAC whose subject definitely is notable. Anyway, thanks again for the compliment, and I'm interested to see the discussion on Wikipedia talk:Featured articles (or the WP:FAC and WP:WIAFA talk pages) about introducing a subject notability criterion to the FA criteria.

Dogpatch USA

Thanks to you for supporting my writing style in this article (the bulk of the article was researched and written by my friend, Stuart Feild, and I, in collaboration with him, edited and rephrased the bulk of the article). I spent a lot of time on the intro to this article, trying to find the right words to summarize the park's financial ups and downs throughout its years, and was eventually very satisfied with the sentence that you referred to. I was very dismayed to find it rephrased by some of my peers on November 10th, the day it was featured on the front page. Nevertheless, I'm relatively new here and I've accepted their decisions, though I disagree; I think a measure of creativity of expression is appropriate and desirable and stimulates the reader, and I've found that some of you, my peers, feel the same way. Perhaps some day our view will be accepted in Wikipedia. --RogerK 02:31, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Socks (cat)

it was funny the first time. please stop. --Duk 20:45, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm glad you at least thought it was humorous. --malber 21:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I snickered :), Happy New Year! --Duk 21:39, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Star Trek

Hello. Actually, I was going to delete the lyrics. Someone keeps posting the same materials onto the Star Trek (original series) website and to keep him/her from doing this, I set up a separate article. I was going to delete all by the first line after I had the other person cooled down (stuff like this you have to do in stages. It is a very strange story about how Star Trek had lyrics.

• Mr. Malber,

I'm currently in the process of editing, however I believe the article may be instead in need of expanion tag as opposed to a stub as it contains both the nessessary essential information and is well over the one paragraph limit. MadMax 21:25, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

NYPD Blue

Normally I'm very critical of an article's failure to describe fiction as fiction, but I'm unclear as to what the problem is with this article on this issue. To my eyes, it doesn't appear to slip into the wrong voice in the few instances in which it describes what happened within the show. Postdlf 23:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Template:User Aspie

Could you please explain why you are changing this template to green and purple? the current(before your changes) version was settled on after a revert war
