== External Links ==
Seems as if Misplaced Pages is somewhat inconsistent when it comes to external links. Andy, search for Christian Rap and you will see promotional websites for them to help promote their CD's So basically you are telling me that there is a line now of if you are successful like KJ-52 then you are allowed to have your own page and description of your services. How do you know whether an Association Professional Speaker isn't famous in their line of work? How does Misplaced Pages distinguish these guidelines? Are you strict in one area and not another? I'm not trying to SPAM either, just giving a site with good Association Management Expertise, or would it help that she write an article to link to discussing the information helpful to other CAE's --] 06:03, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Have you checked Google news for news articles by non trivial websites documenting Cangooglehearme.com? Have you checked its status in the blogesphere? Have you checked its stats on Alexa? I've been here on Misplaced Pages 3 years and know a thing or two about notability without having to refer rules. In fact the template on your home page, i made it, go check. I will be recreating the article when i have the time. ] 15:20, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


See the tag you added: . The license tag isn't invalid, you didn't give 48 hours notice (it wasn't even uploaded 20 hours before you marked it!), and the claim that it fails some part of the non-free content criteria is disputable. It's a newspaper scan marked with the correct newspaper non-free tag, has a rationale. If you want to dispute the rationale, you should discuss it on the talk page or at least mark with <nowiki>{{subst:dfu|reason}}</nowiki>. That would be the appropriate method to handle this, not marking it with db-badfairuse. I'm sorry I did not leave a rationale for my rolling back your edit; rollback doesn't make it easy to do so (not that that is a valid excuse). I hope I've helped you. If you have questions on how to handle an image problem, please ask me or at ] in the future. Thank you. ]≈<small>]</small> 18:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

== Nominating multiple articles for deletion ==

Congratulations on nominating two articles about an apparent hoax for deletion. Since the two were related, you could have combined them into a single discussion. The instructions for doing this are on the ] page. For two articles it's not a big deal, but if you want to nominate ten related articles (which I did once), you should definitely combine them. Best regards. ] 00:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

== Co-opportunity ==

Andy, thanks for your comments on why you were concerned about the noteworthiness of the Co-opportunity article and your deletion of it.

The reason I believe it is of value to the wikipedia community for it's inclusion include that it is referenced in a list in another wikipedia article(list of co-ops) and has a link to the "Co-opportunity" article which was empty.

Also, Co-opportunity has an interesting history as being, to my knowledge, to be the first consumer food co-op in Los Angeles area. It was the stomping grounds for hippies and celebrities living in the Santa Monica West L.A. part of town who were looking for organic food, hair and skin products at a time when there were no other places to find them.

It was formed in the Post 1960's era with interest in having a source for organically grown food and when there was a growing interest in cooperate business structures. Additionally, it may be of interest to those interested in food co-ops to know about the history of food co-ops started in that era and the history of this particular one. Also, having the Co-opportunity wikipedia article in place will give co-opportunity historian and opportunity to expand on all of our knowledge or access to knowledge on this particular consumer food co-op, including bouts with financial bankruptcy(with news report references), and shifting climate in the organic food industry such as with the the new organic food sellers such as Wild Oats, Whole Foods, and Trader Joes.

I think there are many people who may and are interested in the rich history of the consumer food co-ops in the los angeles/Santa Monica area such as Co-opportunity.

== Themata etc. ==


Hey,
you deleted List of word coined by musicians, and i'm cool with that (the page sucked). But just out of interest, could you tell me where "Themata" was used before the date on the list? I'd really like to know. ] 01:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

== Racky pt? ==

Hi. I noticed your addition of a sockpuppet tag to {{user|Racky pt}}.

It got me thinking about a couple of odd things that I'd seen recently that might be relevant.

# You've already made comments about comments he placed on my talk page. You may or may not have noticed the link to the article ], which I thought looked familiar. When I first saw it, I assumed that it was an article that I had looked at and then forgotten about. I now realise that this has been a copy-paste re-creation of the deleted article "Human figure", which has subsequently been edited to add back ] that had been weeded out before it was deleted.
# When I left a comment on Racky pt's talk page, they later of that article from my comment, which made no sense to me at the time but makes sense in the context of trying to hide that article from people who are looking at that talk page.

The of Human body shape makes interesting reading in sockpuppet context... --] 14:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. Is there anything that we can do about the IP address ({{user|202.41.72.100}}) that this blocked user is continuing to use? They just left a remark on my talk page that indicates that they are not only unable to understand english but that they have returned after a few days off and may soon be again editing in the same subject area. --] 07:06, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I apologize. I've just been trying to get it right and I thought what I had was meeting Misplaced Pages's standards. Apparently not. Oh well. Have a good day. -mshamo

==Vulcan==
Hi, thanks for leaving the note on my talk page. Both the guy who came up with this language and that language itself are indeed very notable. Just checking out his own page here on wikipedia itself you can see he is highly notable indeed. Vulcan later on become what is dBase, arguable the biggest ever DBMS (or was). Just by reading wikipedia itself it should be clear why this language it notable. However I've tweaked the article slightly with the links to make that even more obvious. A single search on google can also show how widespread this is, searching for vulcan and dbase turns up thousands and thousands of results. Plus I'm sure there would be many more pages about vulcan that have been excluded from that search (obviously you couldn't search for straight vulcan by itself). Easily many many many many more articles than just the one that I had already linked to in the original version which assert the notability of this language. Would be helpful if you can now remove the speed deletion tag? Thanks. Although I can do it for you if you appear to be away. ] <sup>]</sup> 02:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi
I've reverted (well, that is what I tried to do) your edit to Template:Welcomeg as it had removed all the show/hide boxes, which most users seemed to think are a good idea. You said "(rv edits by suspected sockpuppet of Vinay412)" but I couldn't work out which edit that was. As I edited it, Something odd is happening with the page history, some edits seem to go missing, then reappear, so I will leave it till later to see what happens. Hope that is okay. regards, ] 12:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

== Hello ==

Hi andyjsmith, guess who? It's me Anna Vida. I am writing to you to express my deep concern over your deliberate (and for a period, successful) attempt to remove relevant and important information from Misplaced Pages. I am ofcourse referring to the Rod Butterss article in which you delibretly removed my edit, which was talking about his recent law suit. Why did you remove this? It was quite clearly the truth. Even if banned accounts cannot edit, there is no reason to remove the relevant information, you could have simply re-written it yourself. Grow a Brain, and try to use common sense (if you have any)!

And by the way, why is it OK for you to delete discussions on your talk page, but when User:Bradles_01 tried to delete them from his/her talk page, why you constantly restored them? Do you think you are above Misplaced Pages's law/rules?

And finally, rather than chicken out and just say that i'm a "troll" face up and actually answer the questions i've asked.

(] 06:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC))

* FYI, i have been active on wikipedia under another user name since the blocking of my previous accounts. So it looks like your "policies" don't really work at all! And on this other account i have made several useful edits. (] 06:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC))

This is a shared AOL IP address. Most likely the person who vandalised wind chill now has a different IP address so there is no point sending threatening messages. Thankyou.

==Good Morrow==

I do apologize for attempting to enter into such a selective society. It is apparent that my lack of degree, and computer skills overshadows many years of life experience. And as this life is shortening, what would it really mean anyway....a foot note to something I proved? This is such a disheartening experience, I do thank you for your gentle kindness. Please let me know when I should delete myself from Misplaced Pages. I think it would be better that way, like taking a pet you loved, showed to the world, had someone injure it, then have it put to sleep. I am a Great Tatee, and also a Generational Secret. May God bless the kind and judge the quick tongued.

Your Tatee,

==Generational secret==

If the aticle, can make it to life; I have my Grandmother's photo album. Yes everyone has pictures of their Grandmother, but Grandmother (Estelle Irene Kincaid Wilson) and I have alot more in common. She made quite the handsome man, with her grilfriends, and many noteable persons of the 1910's and 1920's. This album, was removed from me and then returned (one picture removed): I treasure this link, that would have been unknown to me, and understand why she regaurded me as her "Favorite Grand'child'" never son or daughter. I would enjoy sharing my favorite one of she and her lover in Generational secret. How many more might read these places where forgotten people lived and breathed, finding within their own families "Generational secret"? I've searched, during the little time between work, and only found reference to Generational secret, or it's usage in sentence of dialog. It may be possible that there are still families that wish this fact to remain "unknown". I do appreciate your kindness, this is a brand new world for me. Where are these Wikifaeries that come make things better in the night? Or maybe they want to keep secret their cousins with six wings.
Your Tatee,
Estelle Irene Kinkade Wilson II

Andy my dear, I hope you meet some one as nice as yourself some day. It would have been nice to have had the chance to print copy my work, but I see interpersonal relation with an unknown must be prohibited.

== Re: Sports Trainer ==

hi andy j smith,

Firstly could you please tell me why you have been so rude as to not answer anna vida2's quesion. Secondly you say on the athletic trainer talk page that a wider article is needed to incorporate the sports trainer article, so why has this not been done, as you said it was required (and we all know you are so efficient)?????? Can you answer these questions please, no response from you will be seen as rude and uncooperative. You may respond either on your talk page after this message or on anna vida2's talk page about both issues.

thank you.
