My Edit

Thank you for being so zealous, but the edit wasn't vandalism. The glossary of terms is not spesific to that satalite or anything on the article (is there a glossary on every technical article?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.31.84 (talk) 03:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, please post new sections at the bottom of the page. You removed a large block of text without explaining why, that typically indicates vandalism. I won't revert again, but someone else might. Happy editing. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Re this

The bot getting it wrong is one thing, but you should have examined the situation more carefully. And the edit you made to Smilodon didn't make any sense at all; you didn't even remove the word "pussy" - were you just looking for something to revert to so you could get a revert in? You need to be more careful, you seem to have driven off a good user. Don't bite the newbies. —Random832 04:18, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

No, you need to be more vigilant, here is the link. Yup thanks. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

As an aside: "Hi, one of your changes added the word "pussy" to the article hence my revert to a revision that was not vandalized. You are most welcome to edit the page, we encourage it. Just be careful! this is the diff KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)" If you call that biting the new users, then maybe you should read this page again. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

The word "pussy" was legitimately present in the article, was the title of the cited source, and was _removed_ as part of vandalism. You didn't even remove it in your own revert (which seems to have been chosen solely on the basis of being before IP edits, without examining whether the IP edits in question were vandalism). This is absolutely unacceptable. You should have seen from context that the word was correctly there and that it was incorrectly removed by a vandal in the first place. While I can forgive the bot for getting it wrong, you REALLY should have known better. —Random832 04:25, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

And, yes, it is biting. Having a legitimate change reverted by someone who blindly goes through without paying attention to what he's reverting (which is the bot's job, not yours) is extremely frustrating, and it _does_ seem to have driven him away. —Random832 04:30, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about my tone. But it was a bit insulting for you to suggest that i'm not vigilant enough, when you are the one who isn't paying attention to what you're reverting. —Random832 04:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

(ec x 4) Ah I see it now, I was mistaken, those do happen, my bad. But accusing me of biting a new user, is very fallacious of you. Did you even read the comment I left the user? Again if you call that biting, you need to read the policy page again. Are you also accusing me of simply reverting for the sake of reverting? Have you ever heard of this? I've been fighting vandalism on this project for over 2 years, I'm not going to get everything right, nor is everything I do going to be perfect. For you to accuse me of biting a new user, and of simply reverting for the sake of reverting is very laughable. An other thing, I didn't accuse the editor of vandalism, the bot left the warning. I manually reverted, what I believed to be a mistaken addition of a swear word. I saw that the user was reverting vandalism, and thought that he mistakenly reverted to a revision that had vandalism. Again for you to come here accusing me biting, and bad faith reverting is very poor form, and highly hypocritical inappropriate. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:39, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

The "reverting for the sake of reverting" comment was maybe a bit out of line, but it was in light of the fact that, since you obviously couldn't revert _to_ the vandalism the other user had reverted, you chose some arbitrary past version. (one which went back past three non-vandalism edits prior to the version he reverted to, incidentally) But I do apologize for characterizing it that way. And, my statement about biting was not so much in the message you left on the talk page, but in the reversion itself - and, most importantly, in the fact that he was, in fact, driven away from the site by it. Think of it this way: how would you feel, if after the bot got it wrong and you change it back, someone comes in and [seemingly] blindly follows in the bot's actions? And, I didn't start to take such a harsh tone with you until you said "No, you need to be more vigilant" which directly insulted my intelligence (what, did you think I hadn't read the diff already? for context, i arrived here after a cluebot false positive report showed up on my watchlist). But I do apologize, I think I did cross a line with my tone. —Random832 04:44, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

And, anyway - I do understand (barely) how you might have thought that he mistakenly reverted to a version that had vandalism in it. What I don't understand is how, from there, you don't (knowing it's a more complicated situation) then _look_ at the history to see _when_ that supposed vandalism was introduced, instead apparently just clicking on some version without (apparently) looking at the diffs between each version. In other words, it's a bit baffling how you go from thinking that the word "pussy" was inserted as vandalism, to reverting to a version that still has that word in it. I don't understand the process there. —Random832 04:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I did check the revisions by the 3 anon edits, I reverted past those because one of them changed "smilu" to "smilē" which looked wrong and looks exactly like the random ridiculousness/test edits that are made everyday, not to mention the addition of unsourced content, which while not vandalism, I was perfectly in the right to remove. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

You are biting.

I've edited microscopy articles as an IP for a month now. My edits have been appreciated because they are technically accurate and improve these articles. I'm interested in Ice Age mammals, another problem on Wikipedia. I didn't add the word pussy, any more than you did. I "undid" another edit. This can be seen when you compare mine with the version prior to the BREE ROCKS IP edits: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Smilodon&diff=179092614&oldid=178764940.

You are now protecting your ego, just like the bot owner.

Did you look at my contributions? I have to assume they are valueless, because my time is being wasted with this shit. But no one undid my contributions, they simply asked me to do more. Fuck that.

I could have rewritten the entire vacuum pump article this weekend. I checked out and downloaded technical literature from the school library to do that. The Wikipedia article about removing gas molecules from a system with a rotary pump gives water well pumps as an example and explanation. Do you know what happens if you try to suck water with a vacuum pump designed to suck air? Neither do Wikipedia readers know because they've been misinformed with a bad example.

Instead of editing an article I would like to rewrite I'm spending my off time getting pissed off at being treated like shit by some self-proclaimed administrators and a bot's owner. If this is "anybody can edit" it's bullshit. If anybody can edit, anybody should be able to remove vandalism from an article before editing it without getting attacked by a bot, its lazy owner, and an administrator for doing so. An apology would have ended this right away. Wikipedia should adopt "be polite" instead of "don't bite." Or "don't let your ego get in the way of common sense." Or "look at what people did before you gang up on them." My contributions were good. Now my account is trashed with this shit. So fuck Wikipedia and its inaccurate and misinforming microscopy articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amaltheus (talk • contribs) 05:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, please be civil, I've made a mistake, I've admitted it, it's up above. Saying things such as "Fuck Wikipedia" will get you nowhere and do not shine you in a positive light. Again I do not believe I was "biting" but if I've offended you, I do apologize. Mistakes are bound to happen, even by the best of us. I do my best to protect Wikipedia, and I sometimes shoot blanks. I can't say anymore than that. Also please sign posts on talk pages with ~~~~ KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 05:15, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

When smilē is quite clearly already in the lead of the article as the transcription of σμίλη, and σμίλη appeared right next to it as well (edit: apparently this _was_ the lead; sorry for the misunderstanding. But, anyway, the anon was right as it happens, and ē rarely appears in test/nonsense edits in my experience), I don't think that your assumption of bad faith was valid (you're not required to know the greek alphabet, but checking the lead sentence of the article would have been nice) Would you have thought it was a test/nonsense edit if I had made it? Anons are allowed to correct typos too. But anyway, since none of the (arguable) vandalism you found was by User:Amaltheus, maybe it would have been better to clarify that - that you felt the need to leave a message on his talk page could be (and was, apparently) taken to imply that you felt he had done something wrong. And there is still the fact that you reverted to a version that still had the word "pussy", and then _after_ that chastised someone for having added that word. —Random832 05:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I got ec'd by the above, but he's right - an apology would have settled this. There was no reason for you to leave a message on his page in the first place after determining that the insertion of the word "pussy", specifically, was not vandalism, even if you thought various other edits made well before his were problematic. —Random832 05:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

05:15, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure how I implied he did something wrong, I simply pointed out what I believed at the time was a mistake. I encouraged him to edit, and I've apologized. I'll endeavor to be a bit more mindful in the future, but this entire thing is getting blown out of proportion IMO. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk

You blew it out of proportion when you knocked me about something that a bot had already knocked me about. You made the same mistake I made. You reverted to a version that had the word pussy in it. The bot didn't go after you.

I followed directions to notify the bot's owner that the bot had made a mistake. That was a monumental waste of my time. The bot and his owner are too busy puking notices all over Wikipedia to notice mistakes. I'll make another mistake and probably be knocked out permanently by the bot.

This venture is a waste of time. "Fuck Wikipedia" is in line with how I have been treated. I edited articles that need major work. I edited in good faith. I made good edits. I removed serious misinformation from vacuum pump and electron microscopy articles. I removed graffiti. I got puked on twice for it. Consider my "Fuck Wikipedias" as hedged as your apology.

I see why there is too much bad information on Wikipedia. People can't edit without being engaged by shit.

Why sign? It would attach this to a trashed editor. I wouldn't trust my edits looking at my talk page history.

Why? It was a mistake, and anyone who looked would see that. I think you're overreacting. —Random832 05:32, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

If you think me saying, "Hi, one of your changes added the word "pussy" to the article hence my revert to a revision that was not vandalized. You are most welcome to edit the page, we encourage it. Just be careful!" is blowing something out of proportion and "thrashing" your name, then you need to re-evaluate the situation. If you continue on your path of incivility I will remove your posts and ignore you. I welcome and encourage constructive discussion, but uncivil commentary and borderline personal attacks will not be tolerated. Your "notification" of the bots mistaken revert was uncivil, and I'm surprised nobody has pointed this out to you until now. Your comments on your own talk page are uncivil, and your comments here are uncivil. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 05:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

KOS - what I meant by it appearing that you thought that he had done something wrong; and actually, something I still don't quite understand here is: your note on his talk page specifically referred to the addition of the word 'pussy', but that was after you had chosen a version which also still contained the word 'pussy' to revert the article to. Based on what you're saying now, a more appropriate notice might have been a polite "your edit was right, but you missed some other stuff from before the version you reverted to". But, based on your response to me, it seems that at that time (despite having reverted to a version that contained 'pussy') you still thought that the insertion of that word was that wrong, and that a diff showing it was inserted should have been proof enough for me to think you were right. That was also what made me think you hadn't looked at the edits you were reverting, since you didn't seem aware that the version you reverted to contained 'pussy'. —Random832 05:39, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

No no you are correct, but how many times must I admit my mistake and apologize? I saw him remove the vandalism, but when I checked the diff I saw the word "pussy" I assumed that he reverted a version that was vandalized. When I went to check the diffs, the additions by the anons caught my attention and I reverted to before those edits. No I did not follow up to see if "pussy" was removed. I assumed it was. As stated at the top of my talk page, I do a lot of RC patrol, more so than many. I will make mistakes, and I will attempt to make amends when I discover them. All I ask is that civility reigns, and Amaltheus has been blatantly uncivil, over a simple misunderstanding, and has escalated this situation. I thank you Random for starting this discussion, and again I apologize for my mistake. This issue is closed for me. My mistake has been pointed out, I've acknowledged it, and apologized. To continue on with this, is pointless. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 05:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Good grief, I just noticed this and read through all the history. Don't take it too hard; that was a pretty gross overreaction from Amaltheus, and I'm frankly impressed with how hard everyone tried to make it right. I left a note on ANI. Happy holidays KOS, Antandrus (talk) 03:23, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Matthew Spencer vandalism (again)

Matthew Spencer vandalism Hi again, could you please do something about the user who continually keeps vandalising the Matthew Spencer page. This guy is getting really frustrating, I'm continually reverting his edits. Something needs to be done. Thanks again. Allied45 (talk) 03:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Time to stop

My characterisation was accurate. Here's your edit:[1] where you accused me of vandalism. Read your own words in addition to mine before getting so self-righteous.

It's time for you to stop this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amaltheus (talk • contribs) 04:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

• This is the last time I'll explain this, it is on you to understand now. I saw you revert vandalism. I thought that you reverted to a vandalized state, hence my edit summary of rvv. If I thought you had vandalized I would have used my rollback button. Period. Good day to you. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 16:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Amaltheus, you wrote: "Wikipedia must be the rudest place on the Internet". With all due respect, you can help see that it does not become that way by letting this matter drop. A lot of people have attempted to explain this to you, with considerable patience and politeness, and at this time I strongly suggest you put down your stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. Thank you, Antandrus (talk) 04:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Abuse in the Aging of Europe article

Perspicacite has been reverting back to a version of the article that contains off-topic content such as Isreal, Japan and the USA, a comment by the pope (really random) and a reference to "Children of Men" in the "See also" section.

I've warned him not to vandalize back to that edit, but from reading the complaints on his talk page, he has vandalized other articles as well. Could you keep an eye out on the article? 84.26.72.127 (talk) 20:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

User:AgüeybanáBot

What goes with this bot adding inappropriate !votes at RfA? Is it just going crazy? Has it been stopped or whatever? Just curious really, but can help out if need be. --Bduke (talk) 21:40, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

That's an ongoing issue, Bduke. It is a sockpuppet that randomly pops up creating "bot" names, normally in some form of Agüeybaná's name, using different letters, or sometimes his alternate name, and adding "Jewish bot oppose" to RfAs. Checkuser has been done, let me see if I can dig that up. Ariel♥Gold 21:42, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Seems to have started back here, but there doesn't seem to be any requests for the subsequent accounts, or sock tags done to track the various accounts. My memory fails me so I'm not sure I remember them all, but I found that checkuser, and User:BoricuaeddieBot that one. Maybe the real Agüeybaná will remember more, but it isn't a frequent issue, one of them crops up now and then, and is swiftly dealt with, so I wouldn't think it is a huge deal.

Edits not Vandalism

I've just been puttering around on the Wiki entery for the Young Communist League and was totally surprized when several hours of work just disappeared. I'm new to wikipedia as an editor, I didn't create account and I think this may have set your alarms off -- but what I was doing was not vandalism. My sources had citations, and were taken from various internet sites and a small pile of books in front of me. I'm writing also about an organization I have first-hand experience with. I thought this was what Wikipedia was all about?

Could you please restore my edits for the last several hours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johan1917 (talk • contribs) 08:57, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I assume you are talking of this? Your edit removed a bunch of page content that had references, and things of that nature. Perhaps you didn't mean to cut out so much text? If you have issue with the content of the article, you should take it to the article's talk page and discuss it. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 09:03, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

What Did I Do Wrong?

HELP - i'm confused..... it seems like someone thinks that i am "promoting" businesses or commerce or a soap box or something with my postings on CUPID and maybe Santa..... so i'm confused. i'm a mom and an anthropologist and i found a great site that re-examines the holiday myths and uses the characters to look at diversity and globalization and other issues. it's not a commerce site, no one is making any money anywhere, yet my posts got taken down as violating some policy that i guess i don't understand.... i was trying to take part in a discussion about these characters in pop culture, that's all. but the posts promoting movies (like the new Vince Vaughn film) remain. I'm not trying to promote anything other than a cool depiction of beloved holiday characters as a representation of how cultures use these characters throughout time.... and link to the site that created these depictions as a "source." Please let me know what policy i violated, because I am really unclear, and totally didn't mean to. There is no advertising or commerce of any sort... and the site that I was linking to as examples of how modern culture uses holiday characters has no commerce of any sort either, so it really is just more discussion of holiday characters.... i'm just new, trying to understand. Hudroy (talk) 03:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

- i THINK someone helped me, sounds like it was an image problem and i wasn't supposed to try and be cool and add images. i'm really sorry, i didn't mean to. i figured it was fair use since they used them on their site and i was sending people back to their site and crediting them. but i couldn't figure out how to do it right anyway. i read and re-read the WORDS i wrote and couldn't see what the problem was (i am a professional editor of a magazine, so i'm pretty clear on copyright....) but i think that my lame attempt at adding images and not tagging them right was a red-flag. is there a way to get my words back on the page without trying to add pictures (even though the pictures are really cool? hopefully people will go see them.... if they want.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hudroy (talk • contribs) 01:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

kingturtle, i think that was the name, tried to expalin some of what i THINK i did wrong in posting about Cupid and Santa as depicted on TinkerTank.org. I'm still confused, but hope that people "get" my intention was not spammy and I can figure out how to include these in the dialog on those pages. basically, there is discussion of all of those characters in popular culture and how they are used and evolve, so i linked to the TinkerTank.org site, which is not commercial in any way (there's NOTHING for sale at all) but is a purely "academic" and creative site that re-imagines all these myths in a modern way to be useful to parents and kids..... so i guess it seemed spammy because I mentioned it in each of the character postings on Wikipedia.... Personally, I've never seen anything quite like it, because it does have all the characters in one place, and it isn't selling stuff like other sites..... and the characters are totally original.... so i'm trying to figure out how to join the dialog without breaking the rules..... thanks for helping Hudroy (talk) 02:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, it was sort of spammy, but the issue in my mind was that it was irrelevant context. I'm glad that you received help, and I'm sorry for the delay in responding. Basically Wikipedia is not a collection of what you think belongs. We have a group of core policies on content that should be followed. Your additions to the Santa Claus article, where really not what one expects in an encyclopedia. Happy editing, and enjoy the wiki. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 06:01, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

okay, but i'd like to explore it a little..... in all of those sections, people were talking about modern interpretations of traditional characters. that's something that's pretty relevant, as mythology and characters have always provided the parables and metaphors that are used to define both mainstream thinking and the "alt" thinking that pushes the cultural envelope..... so in the cupid section people were talking about how the character is interpreted in different ways - with varying physical characteristics - but that the core was always the same. so, i cited another current example that did just that, but even more so.... likewise with Santa. in a way that seemed far more socially and academically relevant than the citation of whatever that new Vince Vaughan movie is (which was the next paragraph, and clearly an "ad" for something commercial that didn't really advance the issue....) I really do think that this advances the discussion of the role of these characters in the modern collective psyche. and it's not commercial in any way...... and it is precisely what one would expect to find in an encyclopedia: examples of the re-treatment of traditional icons to meet the needs of modern society.

thanks for getting back to me. i'm trying to learn my way around...

i'd like to try again. Hudroy (talk) 06:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, KnowledgeOfSelf! Well, I saw your particularly diligent efforts, so I thought I would just go ahead, be BOLD and award you this:

Slakr's eBarn Award I dropped by to give you a barnstar, but I realized that you already have gazillions of barnstars already with no place to put them all. So, instead of just giving you another barnstar that will probably end up gathering dust in a closet somewhere, I instead decided to build you this extra special eBarn so that you'll have a place to show off all of those barnstars.

Hello, Steve.

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:142.162.181.187 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.207.109 (talk) 22:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Here if it means sooo much to you, I won't delete this lone post, and I'll give you an answer. You were banned, you where banned as Mark753 which makes your bobbybobbobdadoo account a sockpuppet. As Bobbybobbobdaoo you where trolling, and after you were warned you turned to vandalism of user pages, hence your block. We revert banned users on site, because if they are banned their edits should never have happened. Also the templates we use to inform people of blocks usually say you may make constructive edits when the block expires, so it would technically apply to you.... but you can't resist vandalizing which is what leads to your block. I wonder now, will you stay true to your word, and stop vandalizing? Hmmm. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:54, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

No. You're wrong. You said bobby was banned because he was mark753's sockpuppet. You found out he was a sock AFTER you banned me for 1 If that link fucked up then, http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Deep_Purple&diff=prev&oldid=176173070.

Then, you went to erase my other edits since I was banned, and you found out I was mark753. So Bobby wasn't banned for being the sock, he was banned for the edit which I don't understand. And, i'm positive you have banned some of my accounts for not doing anything wrong. You said you're free to make constructive edits when you're back but you vandalised. There's a few of my accounts that got banned for editing without vandalising. I'll edit this i find out k 142.162.206.144 (talk) 19:04, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Nah, I knew you were a sock just didn't know which one at first. At the time I used an script that automatically left warnings/tagged uses with indefblocked etc, etc. I tagged that account with the sock temp like what 4 minutes afterward? It didn't take me long to find what I was looking for. And as I said, indefinitely banned users are reverted on site. You are an indef banned user, no matter if you are using sock accounts, or IP addresses. I'll be watching, so behave yourself, because you are on thin ice. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 19:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I could be wrong, but I think what this user is arguing is that if he escapes from prison, then he shouldn't be arrested and sent back to prison to serve the original charge that landed him there in the first place— that is, if he's only pulled over for speeding this time around. --slakr^\ talk / 19:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

First of all, it doesn't matter how long it took you to find out I'm a sockpuppet of mark753. Whether its 3 minutes, 4 minutes, or 78, You DIDN'T know at first. Heres PROOF. http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bobbybobbobdadoo&action=history It clearly says: Banned for vandalism on deep purple. NOT for sock of mark753. So, explain how adding "Classic Metal" to deep purple is vandalism. 142.162.206.144 (talk) 19:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

You don't listen very well do you? At the time I used an script that automatically left warnings/tagged uses with indefblocked etc, etc. I also said I knew you were a sock just wasn't sure who off the top of my head, so obviously I couldn't tag you until I looked it up, which I did. Also, banned users get reverted on site, why is that so difficult for you to understand? KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 19:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that was the warning that you were given for your disruptive edits (that weren't just vandalism. The fact is KOS gave you the benefit of the doubt before blocking you. As you're no doubt finding out now, I'm not nearly as nice, especially since you keep getting KOS out of bed when he should be sleeping *stares at KOS, like his mother used to do to him*. --slakr^\ talk / 19:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Yet another happy new year!

Steve, I couldn't log on without swinging by and saying hello. I was here to clean up an article for a move to Veropedia when I thought that I'd swing by my old username and at least direct it to the new username. Thought it was silly to have a retirement notice since I have to log on here to clean up an article before moving it there. Once it's at Veropedia, it can't be edited. Wouldn't you know that an administrator has run an old article of mine up the old AfD flagpole, the same one who basically made me give up after only a month and who ran my last original article up for AfD. Here's the funny part: He left word on the talk page, right under the big black banner which said I left this site a year ago. It was a protected page, by the way. I was going to redirect it as well; that's when I found the notice. Too damned funny and not worth crying admin abuse over, although this is as abusive as I've ever seen an admin be toward another user. Anyway, shoot me an e-mail when you have a moment and say hi to Gogo Dodo, Gadfium, Bishonen, Joyous and the rest of the gang for me. I'll probably log on in another month or so once I figure out which article I next want to parse over to Veropedia. In the meantime, I'm going to turn my attention back to my paid writing duties. Happy new year! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 08:26, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Appears to be a dynamic IP assigned by Bell Aliant to the St. John's, Newfoundland area, and rangeblocks on 142.162.128.0/18 and 142.162.192.0/20 would shut him up, at least for a few hours at a time.

Oh Libs, I thank you ten fold for being awesome. An other admin told me he was just about to block you because you left a message with the heading "The Falsifier"... I get hit by trolls and vandals more than most and it was a fair minded assumption. Thankfully he's one of those level headed admins and he read the message, he found out you were the real deal, and I told him "Man I love that Canadian." He wants to make you an honorary member of the U.S. but I told em, "Libs is proud to be from hockey central", and that "it wouldn't go down very well."

Oh, I was referring to the guy above in the section... that seemed like a rather strange comment. Never mind! Scarian^{Call me Pat} 15:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Season Greetings

Dear KnowledgeOfSelf, on behalf of my snow-buried Canadian region of Ottawa, I would like to wish you a Safe and Happy New Year 2008.

Wouldn't you know it???

Yo, Steve! In order for me to be active at Veropedia, I must therefore be active here. I gotta resist the urge to do NPP, though. Out of here for now; thanks for the backup on that nonsense article just now! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
