You added a POV tag to this article without explanation, but demanded that it not be removed before the issue is settled. Would you care to explain what the issue you have with it is? Cumulus Clouds (talk) 19:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Ok, if you want it call it vandalism, I guess I have to give you one of these:
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to User:Icestorm815, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
- Thanks for the humor, happy editing! Icestorm815 (talk) 21:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Windfall Elimination Provision POV
[edit]The instance in Windfall Elimination Provision isn't POV, but using the term in biography articles seems to be emotive and involved, IMO. I think I'll leave "POV" out of the summaries in the future. --Oldak Quill 17:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Refrain
[edit]You should actually refrain from making useless comments on my talk page if you dont wish to provoke me. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 05:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Also. I know its difficult but please stop vandalizing my userpage. Thanks. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 05:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
This article has been brought before the community. Please join the discussion. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 08:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, I've been keeping an eye on it but I wanted to let you finish first. I have some improvements I'd like to add myself. Don't know if they will help, but it's worth a try. Mstuczynski (talk) 00:23, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
By the way, although I looked for quality references before I contributed to the AfD, there are some experts on this who might be able to help you if you place a {{rescue}} template at the beginning of the page. Mstuczynski (talk) 00:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Userbox change
[edit]How bout no? Why dont you just steal the design from my page. It would look so much better. And you could just change the color, and all. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 20:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ah. Well. You werent clear on that. And no, I hate it. True opposition here, as it were. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 20:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Undue weight
[edit]At 0.999..., you brought up the WP:UNDUE policy in your edit summary. This policy specifically precludes giving undue weight to fringe viewpoints. For more details, please see WP:FRINGE. Among experts, there are no people who "believe" that 0.999... represents a real number other than 1. There are alternative number systems, but these are not called "real numbers", and these are best dealt with separately where the context is clearer. To weaken the statement is a disservice to the reader, since it implies that there is a controversy where there is none, and the article needs to be very clear on this point: 0.999... = 1. No ifs ands or buts: It's a fact. If you can find one expert on the real number system who has written in a peer-reviewed source that 0.999... is a real number other than 1, then it is legitimate to put such a statement in the article. However, at present, NPOV and its corollaries specifically demand presenting the facts as such. The fact is, like it or not, in the real number system 0.999... = 1, and this is universally agreed by all experts.
If you would like to argue your point, you may do so on the article talk page. silly rabbit (talk) 19:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Michigan Third Parties Coalition
[edit]
Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Michigan Third Parties Coalition, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 02:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
This is notification that the article you created has been nominated. This is not a test, and this edit has been made by a bot. Good-day. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 08:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Michigan Third Parties Coalition
[edit]
An editor has nominated Michigan Third Parties Coalition, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michigan Third Parties Coalition and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 08:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I didnt know a real bot handles this! SynergeticMaggot (talk) 09:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] | While it is philisophically unclear whether or not you have vandalised the page User:David Schaich with [this edit]. It is clear you have vandalised THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE. Such action could cause a tear in the very space-time continuum. If you continue to vandalise the fabric of the universe, stronger action may be taken against you up to and including your removal from time. It would be as though you never existed.--Dr who1975 (talk) 16:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC) |

Question
[edit]Your comment in the oppose section of Sharkface 217's RFA seems to have a problem. You state that Sharkface self-nommed and then got co-nominators when he in fact was originally nominated by User:Hersfold and then co-nominated by User:The Transhumanist, User:Milk's Favorite Cookie, and then myself. You then go on to assume poor faith and accuse Sharkface and his co-nominators of sock-puppetry or meat-puppetry because of this. I don't understand how having multiple nominators can be interpreted as possible sock- or meat-puppet activity when two of the nominators are administrators and the other two are highly respected Wikipedians. If I'm missing something, could you please fill me in? Malinaccier (talk) 17:52, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's ok. I was rather shocked to be accused of Sock/meat puppetry, but now it's done and over. Happy editing, Malinaccier (talk) 19:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
RFA Thanks
[edit]Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Even though it failed with 28 supports, 42 opposes, and 15 neutrals, I am grateful for the suggestions and advice I have received and I do hope to improve as a Wikipedian. If you ever need my help in any endeavor, feel free to drop me a line. --Sharkface217 19:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
"sock master"
[edit]KV, it will do you little good to spew vitriol against your critics. Calling me a "sock master" is not only silly, it will also erode your credibility very quickly. If you are willing to engage in reasonable debate, I'm at Talk:Hermetism. If you just want to WP:OWN your essay, Wikipedia article space isn't the right place for your text. --dab (𒁳) 07:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
The anon's comments on ANI

Recent moves
[edit]It really is a very bad idea to create a work group of a project, or put articles in that projects' "line of descent" or whatever you want to call making "subpages" of that project, without first getting that project's express consent in advance. Otherwise, they could, at least potentially, be deleted by that project. You might want to move them back and ask for the pages to be accepted by that project before, as it were, telling them that those pages are now "theirs". John Carter (talk) 23:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Portal
[edit]Wikipedia:Portal/Instructions. Go there and use it to create Portal:Hermeticism or Portal:Hermetic, whichever seems like the likely candidate for a broader sense of the project. Like I had said before, if this was done the first time, you would have gotten a lot less attention and disagreements and more work done. I'd do it myself but I have to leave for work. John Carter will delete the old portal, as noted on the talk page. You might want to rename the project was well. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 23:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassador Program at MSU
[edit]Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian associated with Michigan State University. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at MSU, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.
Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).
If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in the East Lansing area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:26, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

The article Phoenix Screwjob has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Neologism lacking significant reliable and independent sources.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for January 29
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Phoenix Screwjob, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Rock (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Phoenix Screwjob
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Phoenix Screwjob requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cindy(talk to me) 06:42, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello! There is an article that has been nominated for deletion regarding the Michigan State football team.

If so, please just click on the Title as I have linked it straight to the page's deletion review. If you wish to see the article itself, it is titled Michigan State Miracle. Any thoughts, ideas, or edits that would help improve the page itself would also be appreciated! Thanks! Stubbleboy 17:16, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:21, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
