Call it a day?
This edit was definitely not vandalism. I think you were right over at SummerWithMorons' talk. Have that whiskey pint up there and call it a night. :) --Danger (talk) 03:45, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Why did you label this article as a hoax? There are ten thousand Google hits for the name and it has a website at http://ninja-ide.org/ -- it may or may not be valid, but it is certainly not blatant. Please explain at the article talk page in this sort of situation. Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 20:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe I wouldn't have, if it hadn't been April Fool's Day. Already the article was tagged as lacking {{notability}} and {{unreferenced}}[1]. I tagged it as a "possible" hoax ({{hoax}})[2]. It never was tagged as a "blatant" hoax or {{db-hoax}}. This lousy T-shirt (talk) 01:23, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
In particular, the Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states that:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Roodog2k (talk) 18:35, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
- I only made one revert and did request page protection. That's all I'm gonna do. —This lousy T-shirt (talk) 18:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
- No worries. If everybody were allowed a certain number of edits in an edit war, these would last forever. I feel for you, though, and I understand your frustration. I would engage the appropriate noticeboard, if I were you, for some sort of adjudication. this would appear to be the appropriate channel.

Yes, I think you made a mistake
First, why would adding the year to a Guinness world record be a "mistake"?
Second, why would adding "slave beasts" to the entry be a "mistake" when that is the name used by his "owners" in ALL his official internet postings? The entry already had "adorable fearsome dictator" and "prodigious Scotch drinker", which are terms used to identity the Colonel by his "owners" and the public. Slave beasts was (and is) how his "owners" identified themselves and should be allowed on his Wiki page for continuity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Streeten (talk • contribs) 19:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC) Streeten (talk) 19:09, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Do you have a link to one of those official Internet postings? If you do, you can add it back, with the source referenced beside it. As for the other, it's only February, isn't that too soon to hold a record for 2014? Especially with him dead now. Maybe 2013 though. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 19:14, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
I apologize but I am knew here. I do not know how to source reference.
There are more than a dozen articles about the Colonel's passing that refer to his "owners" as "slave beasts". Here is one of them from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/31/tech/social-media/apparently-this-matters-rip-colonel-meow/
Also, in several of the articles about his passing, it was stated that he would appear in the 2014 Guinness book but here is the link to the official Guinness page where his 2014 record is confirmed: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2013/8/colonel-meow-the-cat-with-the-longest-fur-50832/
Would you be so kind as to help me properly source his page? Thank you very much. Streeten (talk) 19:30, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Of course I'll help. It's easy. I'll revert the page to your last version and add the sources you mentioned. Then I'll give you the link showing how I did it, so that you'll know how. It's easier to show than tell. :) — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 19:38, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Here's how it's done[3]. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 19:45, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you so much! It's really important that readers know that the Colonel did NOT have "owners", even if "slave beasts" is more outrageous (which is the precisely the point) than "caretakers". Thanks again! Streeten (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

New question
Since you've been SO helpful and made my day, may I impose on you with another question? A publicly known friend of mine who has a Wiki page has complained about his published page picture and his inability to have it changed, even though he is the person the page is about. Where would I find information as to why that is and if there is anything that can be done about it? Thank you, again, for all of your help. Streeten (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Providology
Hello Excirial This lousy T-shirt.

Why did you revert my edit?
I am curious why you reverted my edit on the Group B Strep page? The reason I removed the sentences in that paragraph is as follows. The first sentence is just a statement of the values of NICE concerning the care of healthy pregnant women. The second sentence concerning NICE's attitude to GBS screening was presented in contrast to these values. This is not a neutral way to present information as it encourages the reader to assume that there is an conflict between NICE's values and their attitude to GBS screening. Consider the following 2 sentences:
- Bob owns 2 pet fish.
- Bob says he is kind to animals, however he owns 2 pet fish.
Because the second example presents bob's ownership of the fish in contrast to the fact that he is kind to animals, the reader is encouraged to assume (without the presentation of any factual argument) that Bob's ownership of the fish means that he is not kind to animals.
This is the exact same construction as used in the NICE paragraph in the GBS article and I therefore thought that the paragraph could be made more neutral by presenting NICE's policy on GBS screening without contrasting it with their values.
I am just curious as to why you reverted my edit as I thought it was reasonable and in keeping with Wikipedia's values of clarity and neutrality.
Also it is my first edit so I am disappointed that I have not been able to contribute!
Could you please give me a brief explanation of your actions. Hopefully this will clear things up for me and I will be able to contribute in the future.
Russellwstanley (talk) 01:44, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry I did not find your message until this morning. You've explained it in a matter sufficient for me to understand why you edited as you did.

"Spitting"
Why did you remove the image? I thought it was a prime example demonstrating the act of spitting. I would advise you to revise your edit as there are no other images on the page providing insight into what spitting looks like. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.128.20.204 (talk) 18:53, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- One could make the same argument for the article on oral sex. In other words, most people know what it looks like and don't really want to look at others in the process of doing it. But if you use an illustration instead of graphic imagery, it makes the point well enough. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found an illustration of spitting. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 18:59, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Manuscript Whisperer (talk) 23:30, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your welcome note!
Hi! Thanks for the welcome! I am having a little trouble negotiating some of the pages, but I expect that that will resolve. (For example, I tried to send this message earlier, but apparently I left comment markers in place. Nothing appeared except my signature. Perhaps the instructions could mention that the intial bracket and exclamation point open a comment and that the closing bracket ends the comment--if, in fact, that is what they do. Is that what they do?)
My main question is: After I sign out, how do I get back to my user page later?
Regards,
Manuscript Whisperer (talk) 23:42, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- The easiest thing to do is make your user page the last page you visit before you log out. You should find yourself back there when you log in. I'm using the Safari browser and always end up on the last page I visited before I logged out when I log back in, if I leave that window open. :) — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 23:51, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

As far as I am concerned I see no reason not to leave it protected, since there is unlikely to be a good reason for an unregistered user or a new account to edit the page at all, but it's up to you.

- Dammit, clashed with James and inadvertently reduced his protection - I've now restored his choice of "infinite" as an expiry date. Yunshui 雲水 12:57, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks both of you. :) I agree on leaving it protected. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 13:01, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Informing suspected socks
Hello This lousy T-shirt. About your informing suspected socks, are you sure you are not spilling the beans? Because if it is necessary the filing editor can inform the suspected editors themselves, and even if they don't the SPI clerks/CUs and patrolling admins do inform the editors if they find a need to. -- SMS Talk 17:16, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- I meant to help with the backlog there on SPI, not spill the beans. But you have made a good point. :) — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 17:24, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yes I believe from the very start that you were doing it in good faith and Thank you for listening to my concern. Actually I have seen some socks altering their behavior to avoid detection by CU check or behavioral comparison with another editor. -- SMS Talk 17:33, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Welcome Message
Hi, Thanks for your compliments that made me feel welcome and secure. You decide that I should stay and make further edits but I don't think I would be able to do that. The other editors here made me frustrated and I so piss off with them. Bryan4562013 (talk) 01:03, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
