i worked so hard on the page. you can't just revert it all. revise my sentences and improvise them. i made the page more articulate and organized. i'll need more time to make it perfect. but for now don't revert my work back and forth. thanks! you rock!

== Paul McCartney / Left or Right Handed ==
You can take a look at those articles (all of them created by Striver, who goes on jags of article creation) and see if you think that they should be linked. Striver speaks English as a second language (badly) and he can't write very well, so his articles are all lists or copyvios. Perhaps I shouldn't have disposed of them, but I ''hate'' directing poor defenseless readers to articles that consist of a chain of linked articles ending in a list with links to a few medieval scholars, and no content. Of course, I've been going head on with Striver for months and I am pissed off and cranky. Take a look at the ] article if you want to see some interminable debate. Or maybe you don't want to. That's the problem -- people would rather just avoid Striver than deal with him.

I was about to tell you off for deleting my contribution in Paul's trivia section (if indeed it was you), however, that is precisely what I was guilty of in the first place! Perhaps I should have started a discussion first? Anyway, shall be seriously researching this subject over the next couple of days thanks to you. Probably learning tons of other stuff on the way! Watching football right now so the Beatles can wait.
Oh, and as to the classification scheme -- it's true that those are all words that Muslims use, but they argue endlessly about what each one means, and to whom it could be applied. Putting the classifications up there as if they were acceptable to all is just -- nuts. It's as if I were to classify all USAians as "Liberal, conservative, or subversive" and insist that everyone accept my scheme.

There's also a history to the Muslim article in that it keeps growing and being cut down. The definitions of who is a Muslim and what Muslims believe should be in the ] article. But people who are shot down at the Islam article (which is heavily watched) tend to come over to Muslim and post their rants there. ] 08:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

:Hi - You've sent me several private emails on this matter. I honestly think I was very polite and reasonable, in the face of some very silly accusations by you that I was being "payed (sic) off" by your commercial competitors to edit here on Wiki. I didn't seem to get very far with you responding in private email, and I actually prefer that Wiki business transpire in public here on the discussion pages - so I'll only respond here in the future.


I'm sorry but this is a genuine article, and not a matter of vandelism, but of great local heritage.
:To answer you yet once again, I was not doing intensive editing of the article you are referring to, ]. I spend a lot of time ] here on Misplaced Pages to remove instances of vandalism or blatently inappropriate content. I only came across this page because you were inserting large amounts of commcercial advertisement links and direct advertising copy from your web pages - it stood out as I was scanning the changes. I removed those, and noted that other editors had done this in the past, and had attempted to explain to you the policies and guidelines of Misplaced Pages that applied. I also note that you've since been temporarily blocked for continually reverting those links and advertising copy back into the article.

:Misplaced Pages articles are not the place to play out a local radio station's April Fool's Day prank. The article was being jerked around mercilessly. I reverted all the vandalism edits I could find, it appears that others editors and admins joined me, and an admin then temporarily protected the page to prevent further vandalism.

The revertion is explained and i dedicated some extra words to the ones don't agree with it. I hope they don't fit you, I'dont even think so. But i don't thik that stuff reflecks anything worth that much space in the article or is true to the mythos or Batmans wirters intentions at all. Take in mind what's the space for the Joker or Robin... Then again, the section, which is a very valid, real and well documentated opinion is now on the Comics Code Authority were it fits better. I also left a link in the see also" section. So that morbid people can check it out. Remember that people is triing to reduce the space for the batman and superman space and the first thing to go is irelevant stuff. please, check the last discussions on supes and bats discussions pages to understand my point and pocition.

This "April Fool's Prank" is part of the history of the radio station. If you lived in the area you would understand that until about 5:00pm when all kinds of stuff went down in regards to the station, if wasn't exactly realized to be an April Fool's Prank. If you would read the history and comments you would understand that many people didn't believe this was an April Fool's Prank at all. Listeners called up the radio station crying thinking that the radio station was being taken over by some media conglomerate goons.
:We disagree, and I wish you hadn't kept removing the material so many times today - but I ''do'' appreciate the fact that you have been willing to engage in discussion about it.

The wikipedia updates served as a wonderful history of the past few days about what was going on and whether or not it was real or not. Why you think this is not deemed of a Misplaced Pages entry for just a few days (it was listed as a current event) until all details are finalized I don't understand.
:Check it out. I followed your advise. (according to myself, though)Keep in mind this observations (personal, of course):
# the info is now not only on the batman page, but also on the CCA page
# wertham states batman is pedophylic
# that's his first statement to, THEN establish the Batman-Robin thing is a gay fantasy.
# the stuff the paragraph establishes is not progay, but totally anti-gay or homophobic
# neither kane, nor finger, schwartz, sprang, o'neil, timm, dini, burton, west, ward, o'donell, cloney, keaton, kilmer, conroy, wolfman, loeb, matzuda, or eny bat-writer, actor, editor, artist, producer director or true fan has ever intended batman to be gay.
# the consensus was done some time ago new one can be done

Please keep your counter vandalism efforts to things you might know a thing about. It is clearly not vandalism, it was very informative (read the discussion page of people thanking people for the updates). The page should at least be reverted back to the timeline before you reverted everything with a few new updates, and in a few days once everyone realizes the scale of the event a proper footnote in the entry can be written. - Ryan <small>(This unsigned comment was left by ] 21:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC))</small>

:I'm sorry, Ryan, but that is not the reason Misplaced Pages exists. This is not a webspace provider, nor a blog or fan site. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, and I'm sure you wouldn't expect to see an ongoing listing of events happening during a local radio station's April Fool's Day prank in an encyclopedia article.

:If the prank turns out to be notable in the history of the station, a line or two referring to what happened might be appropriate (I honestly doubt such a normal radio prank ''would'' be so notable, but assuming that it does become so). But the ongoing listings of songs, reactions to the prank, comments from DJs, etc, are not.
:Also, please note that I am not the administrator who protected the page. Not only was the page temporarily protected by a Misplaced Pages admin, but someone has already requested that the protection be removed, and other admins have declined to do so.

Would you kindly never accuse me of vandalism no matter how egotistical you are. I added FACTUL UPDATES on a CURRENT EVENT. That has never and most likey will never be a Misplaced Pages violation. You were completly out of line by twice telling me to stop vandalizing WBRU. Look up the definition of that word, apparently you haven't the faintest clue what it means. Next time, you should maybe find out what is actually going on before you start throwing out accusations and reverting pages. You should be ashamed of yourself. You give Misplaced Pages a bad name and you are the reason that Misplaced Pages is not considered a creditable source. -]

:I'm sorry you are upset, ] - it was not my intention, nor I'm sure was it the intention of the other editors and the admin who worked to clean up the mess that was made of the ] page yesterday and the night before. The BRU page was being hit so often and so fast with the spurious edits that a Misplaced Pages administrator (not me) had to temporarily protect the page - that is, temporarily bar anonymous and brand new registered users from editing the page. That is something that we ''really'' don't like to do, even for a short time.
:Unfortunately (or not, depending on your point of view), I can't block - I'm not an ]. But this guy requires a lot of cleanup work, replacing image tags after he's vandaized them, etc. --] ] 10:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
:I saw that you found the correct page to request that temporary page protection to be lifted, and there yet another administrator explained to you that the edits happening at BRU constituted vandalism, and refused to lift the temp protection - so you should be aware by now that the activity happening at the BRU page were not something allowed here at Misplaced Pages.
:I also understand that you are a very new registered user (within the last day or two) of Misplaced Pages, and the edits to the BRU page make up almost all of your edits so far. You obviously aren't very familiar with how things work here. Now that you have found us, we'd love for you to stay and participate constructively to the encyclopedia - to help, I'm going to drop a note on your talk page with some links about how to get started here, and some of our basic policies. If you will read through those, and then my comments above and on the WBRU talk page again, I think you will see where things went wrong here.

I noticed that you were having problems with a specific IP address which you had banned and I wanted to let you know that, given the message that was left in the discussion forum on this particular page and the style in which it was written, I have reason to believe that this IP address belongs to Ms Marchant herself.

There is a "deletion" discussion going on concerning this page at http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Marissa_Marchant , which makes me wonder why it's been blanked already, since the process has not been completed.

Hello and thank you for your response.


== Edit Summary ==
I thought that I should give you a "heads-up" as Ms Marchant, as "talented" as she is, can be terribly unbalanced sometimes and this could lead to a longterm vandalism issue.


I was just wondering if there's a quick way to make the Revert Summaries, or do you have to manually type in the links and the message. ] 16:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
That said, she has a quite a large "fan base" and they would like to see an article about her here. I believe that another will probably be written (by someone else, as I'm certainly not the Marchant expert....), so it might be constructive to address this directly with this IP address to try to clear up some of the misunderstanding.

It is impossible to vandalize my own page. If you want to continue this tug-o-war, fine.

I think it is deeply inappropriate for us to publish the real name of Brandy Alexandre and people who are in a similar situation to hers. I'm not intending to be the final authority on this point in any given case, but I would like to ask you, as a courtesy, to leave the name out of this article until such time as we've all had time to carefully discuss it.
I noticed that you accused the user from ] of vandalism, saying that he was inserting nonsense into the ] article. While his edits are debatable and lack a bit of sociability in form, I don't think they're nonsense or vandalism. I think I know who the editor is, and the issue of Hakim Bey's pedophilia looms rather large in his view of the world's problems. So he is POV pushing, to an extent. Nevertheless, the citations he has just provided in the list of PLW's writings on boy-love are real, and I think he has a geniune contribution to make to the article. If it's not out of line for me to say this, I'd suggest you make a retraction on his talk page. ] 01:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


I haven't had a chance yet to look at where it may have already been published, but for me, trolls publishing it in Usenet is not sufficient, nor is having it repeated at various random websites sufficient. I'd be looking for a print publication of some known legitimacy. (Normally I would say a 'mainstream' publication, but I would say that in this particular subject area, any of several men's magazines like Playboy or Penthouse would be sufficiently mainstream.) --] 22:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)


:Are adult film actors not entertainers? Are they not public figures? I don't understand why a person who chooses a professional ''nom de screen'', and a profession that puts them in the public light and arena, can claim that their real name is off-limits.
:Alexandre's real name can be found published in many places, including public documents where she has linked her professional and real names. I would not have chosen to publish her name if ''I'' were a primary or secondary source myself - but when including public information that others have published in a work of reference, I don't see why adult film actors are entitled to special consideration that other actors and artists are not, just because they have chosen to work in a controversial arena. That some of the sources don't rise to the level of ''Playboy'' doesn't seem quite the correct standard here - few sources in this industry could rise to that bar. The information has been publicly published, proven as factual through public documents, and is well-known in the industry in which the subject is most noted for.
:I'm ''truly'' very sorry that malicious people contacted Alexandre's employer a few years ago, and even more sorry that her employer chose to use her past against her and terminate her job. I would have hated it just as much if a customer of her employers had recognized her from one of her many movies and spilled the beans too - but that ''is'' one of the real risks one takes when one chooses to become a public figure, particularly when one chooses a highly public role in a very visible industry that attracts a lot of controversy.
:I will not personally re-add the information, but I am concerned that we are now censoring information that is publicly available, because a well-known figure asserts she has special rights to anonymity that other public figures and artists don't enjoy. --] ] 23:57, 31 December 2005 (UTC)


== Thethethe123 ==
I should point out to you, Krich, that a public document does NOT mean public domain. I explained the difference to Jimbo as it was told to me by the LAPD. They are public only to those who have legitimate reason to access them. My bankruptcy record, though a "public record," is not public domain, and it was illegally obtained. Meaning someone without a right to access the record such as a creditor, did, and posted the information on the net. Just because the file number is available does not mean you had the right to reprint it. Period. It's called "public disclosure of private facts." I suggest those who want to make these various arguments brush up on the laws that govern them. It seems Misplaced Pages tries very hard to follow the law, with issues like fair use of box art and the like. Again, just because someone else did it "the horse is out of the barn" and it's all fair game. That's not how it works.

:I have to say that I ''believe'' your interpretion of the law surrounding public documents is incorrect, not withstanding what some member of LAPD may have told you. Public records are ''public'', unless sealed or access otherwise limited by the court. That doesn't appear to be the case here.

:You mention the issue of box art, and fair use. Misplaced Pages does work hard to follow fair use rules, and it's my understanding that low-resolution box art is considered to be fair use when illustrating directly related articles. The copyright notice <nowiki>{{dvdcover}}</nowiki> on the image that accompanied the Brandy Alexandre article certainly states that. What is your rationale for the image you removed not being covered by fair use?
:Again, I sympathize with the situation in which you find yourself. You've obviously had severe negative consequences as a result of being a professional adult actress. I strongly feel that was wrong, immoral behaviour on the part of those who reported your past to your former employer, and even more so on the part of the employer.
:However, I also strongly believe in personal responsibility. You made the willing choice to become a public figure, to allow thousands and thousand of copies of your likeness, your voice, and other features, to be published publicly. You were compensated for being such a public figure. You participated in continued dialogue with the public for years after leaving the adult industry. You ''had'' to known, or a resaonable person should be assumed to have known, that it was likely that you could and would be indentifiable from those public images, as a public figure, even a celebrity in your own genre.

== ]/] debacle ==

], the reason for defending ]/] is '''NOT''' to excuse the behavior, but to acknowledge the apology. While I can only finally speak for myself, I feel I can also presume that other Witnesses, esp. JW Wikipedians, recognize that someone like this may have smeared his reputation. While honesty is one of the paramount values of our faith, so is forgiveness towards those who are genuinely sorry.

] and ] are '''not''' forgiving people, as evidenced solely by their comments. There is no genuine conciliatory attitude, graciousness, objectivity, or other effort to move forward. Shall we continue to condemn the man, as it were, or just the action? I have yet to read any acceptance at all of ]'s apology, so I can only assume the above of these two. Every other transgressor of the Misplaced Pages policies is granted a reprieve if they've payed the price exacted by the admins, and is allowed to continue, with others expected to ] to the largest extent possible. Even if ]'s reputation is tarnished, at some point "forgiveness" should be expected from others. For Witnesses, to hold such contempt by refusing this both calls for such retribution from God sooner or later, and results in a worse sin, inasmuch as no one is perfect, and everyone errs in some fashion or another at some point in their lives. - ] 17:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

:This is the sort of thing that confuses me. From what I know of JW doctrine, forgiveness is ''required'', but only when the person who has offended has attempted to show true repentance. JW's teach that only god truly knows a man's heart, and therefore can be the only judge of his sincerity. But they also teach that one doesn't have to ignore bad behaviour.

:I've said before on the article talk pages that some of the non-JW's have displayed behaviour that appears very aggressive and uncivil at times. I have to say that I'm somewhat shocked to see a few JW's doing the same. I think part of this on both sides is that a couple of the <nowiki>"hard-core"</nowiki> anti-JWs see nothing but evil and deception on that part of the Watchtower Society - and a couple of the <nowiki>"hardcore"</nowiki> JW's refuse to acknowledge the contridictions and vagarities that do pop up within JW doctine and teachings. With both sides so polarized, certain that the other side is made up of fools and puppets, and unwilling to give a single inch in ''any'' edit disagreement, it's hard to find a middle ground.

:As to the ] situation, I stopped following it when he stopped vandalising pages to remove evidence of his sockpuppet behaviour and lies. I'm really not very concerned with the doctrinal arguments that the JW articles spawn - for example, trying to read through the recent mediation request is like trying to read through a transcript of a contentious Libertarian meeting - lots of noisy arguing over interpretations, little content or practical discussion.

:To answer you directly, as an outsider, it appears that Retcon's <nowiki>"apology"</nowiki> was insincere at the very least. He was continuing to operate sockpuppets, and lie about it, ''while'' he was apologizing with other sockpuppets. He only finally stopped his behaviour ''after'' he was completely and red-handedly caught by an administrator who could check the IP history on his many accounts. An even ''then'', Retcon continued to attempt to erase talk page discussions where his behaviour was revealed and documented, all while leaving notes about how sorry he was and that he had been driven to the bad behaviour by the actions of others.

:I'm certainly not god, and I can't read his heart - but I ''can'' read his actions, and at least at late as a week or so ago when he was active, those were not the actions of a man who wanted his apology to be taken seriously. But as long as he stops doing what he was doing, I really don't care. As long as he follows Misplaced Pages rules and doesn't disrupt people who are trying to work in good faith on the JW articles, I really couldn't care less. For the moment, I haven't seen him doing it again in the last week, and I haven't commented since.

:And I'm sorry, you can't be too surprised if some of the JW's such as yourself lose some credibility in the debates going on, with your continued apologetic and defensive treatment of Retcon. If those JWs had firmly condemned the rulebreaking and the lying, and did not continue to minimize Retcon's deceptions by excusing them (he was being attacked, he got excited, he's sorry, even though he's still covering it up, etc.), I think this negative for the JW <nowiki>"side"</nowiki> could have been turned into a rhetorical positive. As it is, I don't think JW's can be surprised that this incident is used in debate as an example of how some JW's aren't in the article edit discussions in good faith. (And Retcon's actions certainly present themselves as a <nowiki>"stumbling block"</nowiki> to those people the JW's here are presumably trying to Witness to, although that's neither here nor there in the Misplaced Pages discussion.)

:Of course, the same could be said of some of the behaviour of a couple of the non-JW's too - but so far, no one has caught them doing what Retcon did.

:To also answer your question, should Retcon return to editing these articles, and edits in good faith following the rules, ''I'' won't be bashing him for prior bad bahaviour. --] ] 18:21, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Experimenting on the WBRU article

May I ask why you think I'm experimenting while I'm adding information regarding their April Fools prank? And why do you keep reverting the page?

Cheers, Nite Nite

Misplaced Pages articles are not the place to play out a local radio station's April Fool's Day prank. The article was being jerked around mercilessly. I reverted all the vandalism edits I could find, it appears that others editors and admins joined me, and an admin then temporarily protected the page to prevent further vandalism.
The notice on your talk page was a standard, 1st-level warning about spurious edits. Please continue to contribute to Misplaced Pages, just not in this fashion. Thanks! --Krich (talk) 20:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

This "April Fool's Prank" is part of the history of the radio station. If you lived in the area you would understand that until about 5:00pm when all kinds of stuff went down in regards to the station, if wasn't exactly realized to be an April Fool's Prank. If you would read the history and comments you would understand that many people didn't believe this was an April Fool's Prank at all. Listeners called up the radio station crying thinking that the radio station was being taken over by some media conglomerate goons.

The wikipedia updates served as a wonderful history of the past few days about what was going on and whether or not it was real or not. Why you think this is not deemed of a Misplaced Pages entry for just a few days (it was listed as a current event) until all details are finalized I don't understand.

Please keep your counter vandalism efforts to things you might know a thing about. It is clearly not vandalism, it was very informative (read the discussion page of people thanking people for the updates). The page should at least be reverted back to the timeline before you reverted everything with a few new updates, and in a few days once everyone realizes the scale of the event a proper footnote in the entry can be written. - Ryan (This unsigned comment was left by 24.147.118.244 21:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC))


I'm sorry, Ryan, but that is not the reason Misplaced Pages exists. This is not a webspace provider, nor a blog or fan site. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, and I'm sure you wouldn't expect to see an ongoing listing of events happening during a local radio station's April Fool's Day prank in an encyclopedia article.
If the prank turns out to be notable in the history of the station, a line or two referring to what happened might be appropriate (I honestly doubt such a normal radio prank would be so notable, but assuming that it does become so). But the ongoing listings of songs, reactions to the prank, comments from DJs, etc, are not.
Also, please note that I am not the administrator who protected the page. Not only was the page temporarily protected by a Misplaced Pages admin, but someone has already requested that the protection be removed, and other admins have declined to do so.
I hope that you stay and enjoy Misplaced Pages, and continue to contribute to Misplaced Pages - just please read up a bit on our guidelines and policies. Thanks again, --Krich (talk) 22:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Would you kindly never accuse me of vandalism no matter how egotistical you are. I added FACTUL UPDATES on a CURRENT EVENT. That has never and most likey will never be a Misplaced Pages violation. You were completly out of line by twice telling me to stop vandalizing WBRU. Look up the definition of that word, apparently you haven't the faintest clue what it means. Next time, you should maybe find out what is actually going on before you start throwing out accusations and reverting pages. You should be ashamed of yourself. You give Misplaced Pages a bad name and you are the reason that Misplaced Pages is not considered a creditable source. -caf3623

I'm sorry you are upset, caf3623 - it was not my intention, nor I'm sure was it the intention of the other editors and the admin who worked to clean up the mess that was made of the WBRU page yesterday and the night before. The BRU page was being hit so often and so fast with the spurious edits that a Misplaced Pages administrator (not me) had to temporarily protect the page - that is, temporarily bar anonymous and brand new registered users from editing the page. That is something that we really don't like to do, even for a short time.
I saw that you found the correct page to request that temporary page protection to be lifted, and there yet another administrator explained to you that the edits happening at BRU constituted vandalism, and refused to lift the temp protection - so you should be aware by now that the activity happening at the BRU page were not something allowed here at Misplaced Pages.
I also understand that you are a very new registered user (within the last day or two) of Misplaced Pages, and the edits to the BRU page make up almost all of your edits so far. You obviously aren't very familiar with how things work here. Now that you have found us, we'd love for you to stay and participate constructively to the encyclopedia - to help, I'm going to drop a note on your talk page with some links about how to get started here, and some of our basic policies. If you will read through those, and then my comments above and on the WBRU talk page again, I think you will see where things went wrong here.
Thanks, --Krich (talk) 13:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Block

Could you please block this user? 72.59.27.197 They keep vandalizing articles. See their contributions: --Sebesta 19:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not an administrator, and can't execute a block (although I agree this ip needs another one). I've placed a 4th level warning on his talk page, and I'm watching his edits - if he continues, I'll place a notice on the Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism page - or you can do that too. Thanks, and good luck --Krich (talk) 19:37, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help anyway! I've just seen the list of your recent contributions and your edit count. I think you would be a good administrator. Ok, I'll be keeping an eye on this person. --Sebesta 19:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Edit Summary

I was just wondering if there's a quick way to make the Revert Summaries, or do you have to manually type in the links and the message. —GH 16:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Can't sleep, clown will eat me RFA 33⅓

Thank you for your early support during my third RFA. The self-nomination was a success, with an unexpected number of participants from all over the world. Your support was particularly meaningful because of all the time and effort you've dedicated to keeping Misplaced Pages free of vandalism. If you ever need anything, are feeling snackish, or would just like to chat, please feel free to visit me on my talk page; I never sleep. 8-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 19:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

That RfA was fun to watch, and it was my pleasure to cast an early support vote for you. Your kind words are much appreciated. Please do the same and drop me a note or feel free to call on me if you need anything, I rarely sleep as well (looking at Interiot's tool, it appears I only sleep between 13-15 UTC!) --Krich (talk) 17:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Michigan City vandals

Please, we were just trying to make the outside world more aware of the rather disgusting truth of our hometown. It was just in jest - however, the jest was a truth. (This unsigned comment was left by 206.158.2.80 15:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC))

I'm sorry, but Misplaced Pages just isn't the place for that sort of thing. Please remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox or a place to make a point. Thanks! --Krich (talk) 17:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

19:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Sorry I didn't know about writing at the bottom. Look my only purpose on wikipedia was to give more information and make indian cinema known here with many articles. i chose to work on rani mukerji's page was only because you guys didn't put much there and i thought whatever you wrote was not good enough. that is why i attempted to write. i told you before i'm not a professional. i respect you people. edit my writing if you may. don't revert my work. i know i need to make it more neutral but u can help me with that. i just collected all the useful information yesterday. i couldn't make everything perfect just in one day. it will take time. you can help. all i want to say is that you cannot cut the length of the page. whatever is on there is true. read the saathiya interview at the bottom where it says press coverage. the whole interview correstponds to the breakout role. i even watched the koffee with karan show where karan johar confirms that saathiya was a milestone in her career and from then onwards she became Yash Chopra's muse working in: hum tum, veer-zaara, bunty aur babli, saif n rani new film. although they first started with mujhse dosti karoge but the film was a flop. thats what i wrote in the breakout role. the film was a flop. so there u go. we have something negative against her. if you see all the award shows on tv, yash chopra and rani sit together all the time. although preity zinta is also another yash chopra film worker, rani is more partial to him. i'll try to neutralize the page. but it's tagged vandalism so im scared to touch it. you should help me. lastly, i wasnt trying to flatter u. simply encourage u to help me. i need u guys! thanks! shez グレン 12:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Your Recent Test1

Hey. I noticed on a user page (80.Something.Something.219?) you warned him about editing Creataceous? That was a different user. Under his contribs he has only contributed to Hempden Park.

Thought you should know, Logical2u 21:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - I had already spotted that (a copy'n'paste left over from the previous vandal revert), but I appreciate the heads-up anyway! --Krich (talk) 21:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Suspected vandalism - Wrong

I have you know that Oliver Hurley is a well-known actor in new zealand and Is mostly know playing for in the play Anorexic Schoolboy!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.34.186.251 (talk • contribs).

Can you provide a reference? He's so well known that I can't find a single reference to a Oliver Hurley of that age being in such a play. --Krich (talk) 19:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Your Recent Revert

You recently reverted a hangon notice. Whether or not these are placed validly, they should not be reverted. Alphachimp 23:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I was reverting an incorrect usage - it was originally placed in parentheses, not brackets. However, the editor who inserted the tag fixed it just as I was reverting, so both his tags were acidentally reverted. --Krich (talk) 23:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for backing me up on Pine Bluff, Arkansas. I still have not mastered the use of those anti-vandalism templates and often forget to use them. Diagonalfish 16:41, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Walt Disney: Known Anti-Semite

Please do not hide the truth about Walt Disney. He was not some cuddly old man, he hated Jews, and was a known anti-semite. Not including this in your article makes it biased and witholds the truth about a very evil human being.

Walt Disney really really really hated the Jews. I have my sources —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.46.78.232 (talk • contribs).

This is not vandalism, it is balancing a very biased article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.46.78.232 (talk • contribs).


Hi, I dont really know how to use this but..I'm gonna hope this works. Okay, some of the nonsense stuff is not me. I just wanted to say that the things I added to the history section of the Panic! At the Disco page, are entirely true. According to their label, they ARE touring with Jack's Mannequin and Bloc Party this November. According to MTV News and Brent Wilson's brother, Brent IS filing a lawsuit against P!ATD. So please stop deleting that part. You can cite sources or clean it up or whatever, but it is TRUE. As for the nonsense, well that can obviously go. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.38.68.244 (talk • contribs).

Peter Lamborn Wilson / NAMBLA

I noticed that you accused the user from 24.80.178.251 of vandalism, saying that he was inserting nonsense into the Peter Lamborn Wilson article. While his edits are debatable and lack a bit of sociability in form, I don't think they're nonsense or vandalism. I think I know who the editor is, and the issue of Hakim Bey's pedophilia looms rather large in his view of the world's problems. So he is POV pushing, to an extent. Nevertheless, the citations he has just provided in the list of PLW's writings on boy-love are real, and I think he has a geniune contribution to make to the article. If it's not out of line for me to say this, I'd suggest you make a retraction on his talk page. Rlitwin 01:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

On the Leonardo page. Vandalised it two minutes after your reversal. Time to Block. I have requested a partial Protection on the page which is vandalised continually, but it won't stop people like this one. --Amandajm 01:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
