Was User:Kivar2 your sock?
Hi, I was going through the WP:O#Inactive list and found that Kivar2's talk page had been deleted. I noticed that the last edit before deletion was you redirecting his talk page to yours. Was he your alternate account? Should he be removed from the inactive list altogether? Puzzled,--Aervanath (talk) 18:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Yes, he was my public sock, though I havn't had reason to use him lately. I think that it might be better to create an account along the lines of "Erik's Public Sock" or something... ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 21:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll strike it from WP:O, then. No pointing in having you on the active list and you're sock on the inactive list. :) It doesn't matter what you call your sock, as long as you're upfront about it. Mine is User:Aervasock (you can see I've marked the user page as such), and I just make sure I tagged the user pages accordingly. I'm still not sure why Kivar2's talk page redirect to your page was deleted; out of curiosity I looked into Tikiwont's contrbutions around that time, and it seemed unrelated to what he was doing. Do you want me to restore it?--Aervanath(talk) 01:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

- Ok, I'll continue it here. I've added the same sock template that's on your sock's page to mine (switching the username parameter, of course). I've also redirected the talk page to mine (I did leave your message, though).ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 04:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik, just an fyi in case you aren't a watchlister, I declined your speedy deletion request on the above article and replaced it with a "cleanup" tag. I'm not convinced of the notability, but the article at the minimum at least asserts some and provides references to be checked out. Feel free to bring the article to WP:AFD if you think the community should discuss whether the article should stay or go. Cheers mate - Keeper | 76 21:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Pseudo-Acronym
You wrote on my talkpage: Hey, I saw your revert, then self-revert on Pseudo-acronym. Thank you for catching your own mistake! ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 01:44, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Yup. The uncited ref looked, on first blush, like a typical act of vandalism, and the revert was pretty much reflex. But then I saw that it was an established username, looked at the contribs, and knew that the inference couldn't be right (exception: one time, I was logged on, and one of my son's friends made a couple of way ugly edits I'm still living with). So I fleshed the entry out a bit. I'd like to see all the items on that page documented or at least explained -- it's a page that attracts a lot of WP:Patent nonsense and WP:OR, so people who watch it may be just a little trigger-happy. So sorry for that -- your good rep is well-earned, and I surely woudln't want to damage it. Best, DavidOaks (talk) 04:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I saw your name on Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors and hoped that you could copyedit an article for me.

I would really appreciate it if you could please copyedit this article for me, and I'd be happy to help out with one of your articles in return. Thank you! Reywas92Talk 18:21, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I have read the COI information, and I do have a conflict of interest.

I obviously wanted to create a factually correct article about our company. I don't wish to have the article deleted, however I am obviously respectful of the rules that you have in place.

Tautology
"Homosexual anal sex", already a fairly convoluted description of what "gay sodomy" would perfectly adequately describe, does not require any further explanation: anal sex requires a man in order to be sex. Homosexuality requires two people of the same sex in order to be homosexual. This is notwithstanding that I daresay the source in question does not dictate that "pitcher" and "catcher" must apply only to participants in homosexual anal sex. Even, Erik, if you genuinely do feel that my edit was superfluous, it is very poor logic on your part therefore to imagine that it is necessary that you should take it upon yourself to revert it without first discussing it with me. LaFoiblesse 2009-04-20 00h10 (British Summer Time) —Preceding undated comment added 23:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC).
- I would imagine that if two women did engage in anal sex, then one would be able legitimately to describe them using the terms in question from the article. I just didn't feel the word "male" added anything except padding. Anyway, it's your call.

Hey, welcome to WikiProject Films! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of films, awards, festivals, filmmaking, and film characters. If you haven't already, please add {{User WikiProject Films}} to your user page.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Most of our important discussions about the project itself and its related articles take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has a monthly newsletter. The newsletter for May has been published. June's issue is currently in production; it will be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There is a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Want to jump right into editing? The style guidelines show things you should include.
- Want to assist in some current backlogs within the project? Visit the Announcements template to see how you can help.
- Want to know how good our articles are? Our assessment department has rated the quality of every film article in Wikipedia. Check it out!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Collectonian

Tags in talk pages
Hi, if you are assessing article stubs, e.g Iranian villages can you please add class=stub to the parameter? It just saves times later in having to reassess them. Thanks, Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Imagine LSRV page
ErikTheBikeMan, please inform me why you feel this page I created for Imagine LSRV is made up. I understand that Google does not show any information about it on its searches yet. However, after a quick search you will be able to find information about this vehicle and its very real presence. I would like to point out that Wikipedia currently has pages on other land speed record projects that are only concepts without a vehicle produced (i.e Bloddhound SSC) and I would like to know why those are still on Wikipedia and I continually have to fight for my pages. Thanks for your time. Tstakes (talk) 05:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 05:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
