Please stop deleting pictures from user pages.

You have no right deleting images from my user page. You should refrain from it in the future and stop vandalizing my user page.DarthZantetsuken 16:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

For reference, DarthZantetsuken is referring to my removing copyrighted images that were on his user page. 'Fair use' images on user pages are explicitly prohibited, so they had to be removed. Edit summary explained the reasoning for removing them. In response, he made this accusation against me, and then decided to intentionally vandalize my own user page.

Work in Progress

Okay... so one of the article I've been monitoring has been so horribly butchered and twisted by extreme POV disputes, that I'd like to just redo the whole thing. However, I don't want to rewrite the original article, in case people don't like the rewrite... I know there's some way to do this in a sandbox-y style... but still don't know how. Any suggestions?

That is, any suggestions on how I can write... I guess you'd call it a temporary article that I could let other people read?

(and, if they go for it, is there a really easy way to just transpose my rewrite overtop the original article?)

Ok. best place for a rewrite is in ].

When and if they agree to put your version up, just copy, paste the contents from your userpage to the article, and request deletation of your user sub-page. Eagle talk 05:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay... so I'm sure this is the right answer, but... what exactly is the link, or method of setting that up? :)

No problem... User: Bladestorm/Sandbox/PUT THE ARTICLES NAME HEREEagle talk 05:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 18:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

USD conversion template

Looks great! Very clever idea, now just put it in some articles :D Scepia 17:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

PS3 USD conversion

Amazing template and implementation! You deserve a fricking award or something. Cmsjustin 21:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Waste of Time

A rather long and pointless waste of both time and space can be found here. Anyone wishing to further comment there is free to do so, but don't expect me to check up on it very often. Either way, too much space for my main talk page. Bladestorm 04:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

archiving page

You can really do it both ways. If you wish to keep the edit history intact, you can move the page and put important things back on the talk page. I don't care about the edit history, as any questions of ownership would be solved by the signature - ~~~~, and the original talk page would have the complete history of discussion on my account. I just copy and paste, but it works both ways. Scepia 04:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Threat? Hardly.

It was not a threat. It was a natural consequence of his actions. He had not made a single civil comment in his history on Misplaced Pages, and I called him out on it. When I did so, he threatened me with blocking, and I simply showed him the futile hilarity of his statement. --Golbez 23:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Stay away from my talk page

Any comments by you on my talk page will be summarily removed. --Ideogram 06:46, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I take it back. I am willing to converse with you on my talk page, although I remind you the invitation can be revoked at any time. --Ideogram 07:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Um, okay... But, before I do, what were you still interested in discussing? Removing comments from talk pages? Because I doubt there's going to be much disagreement on that front anyways. (Just for the sake of people who universally oppose it, I think I might just strike it out next time it's really bad, instead of actually removing it) Bladestorm 14:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't watchlist your talk page so missed this for a while.

It's not that I have anything I particularly wanted to discuss with you, but if there is anything you want to say to me or want to discuss with me I am willing to listen. Striking out is okay, I guess, although I still prefer that you just not mess with other people's comments. Anyway, I'm not really going to argue with you. Happy editing. --Ideogram 09:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for helping with the HD DVD template. TJ Spyke 22:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Darthwhatsit

Just ignore him. Any more vandalism to either of your pages will result in blocks, so... – Steel 19:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't find that very nice. Not vandalism, just voicing an opinion. Pretty sure that I'm allowed to do that. Also, it's not very cool to pretend not to know somebody else's name just to sound cool. You guys have only said it about 100 times. DarthZantetsuken 12:10, 24 March 2007 (EST)

um... no... removing content from my user page, not for the sake of policy, but for the sake of making a point, was, indeed, vandalism. There's no way to even pretend that it was an honest mistake, since you supported it with the logic, "an eye for an eye". And, seriously, what's the deal with saying things like, "maybe now, I'll be able to use this website in peace", but also feeling the need to refer to people as "unfair friends", and also feeling the need to try to defend your inexcusable actions on my talk page? If you really want peace, then perhaps dropping it would be the way to go? hmm? yes? good. Bladestorm 20:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

3RR

Don't worry about it. If anything, Illuminato has performed three reverts on the page today (it doesn't matter which part of the article one reverts). Xiner (talk, email) 00:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Happy to help

Hey Bladestorm, thanks for stoppping by to talk. Some of the relevant portions are (emphasis added):

Introduction: Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts. It is a step that inevitably should be followed by other steps. The Movement is but one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy is vanquished and God's victory is realised.

Article 7: ... the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of God's promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, God bless him and grant him salvation, has said: "The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O slaves of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharqad tree would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews."

Article 28: ... when the Jews conquered the Holy City in 1967, they stood on the threshold of the Aqsa Mosque and proclaimed that "Mohammed is dead, and his descendants are all women." Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people. "May the cowards never sleep."

Note especially in the last graf, they condem Israel, Jews, and Judaism; they are aware that these are separate things. Also, they're huuuuuge fans of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. That automatically gets you into the antisemite club, complete with badge and decoder ring. There's yet more evidence, I think, but I hope this makes the point. Do keep nudging me, though, if you still think I'm wrong. Cheers. IronDuke 17:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

VANDALISM

STOP VANDALIZING PS3 ARTICLES OR YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE BANNED. i agree oh and also, did you not see the interview? Tome711 00:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Battalion Wars 2

I marked it as RV vandalism because this users only edits are to revert every single one of my edits (check his edit history). TJ Spyke 23:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

That would be WP:POINT, not vandalism. :D Bladestorm 23:04, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

A relaxing massage for the little user?

Cool it, little user. Rise above! Have Ovaltine and relaxing massage, enjoy Zilla new ferocious sig! bishzilla _ROARR!! 22:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC).

Where's the 3RR vio?

Hi there. I'd just like to say I'm glad that someone else was able to see I did not break the 3RR. However I accept that myself and other editors have been edit-warring - indeed I pointed that out on one of the admin's threads. I think we might need a RFC on the matter if we can't agree on a new version to use. Also thanks for the comments about my version being more neutral, even if it could be improved.

Not saying you're taking sides or anything, just expressing some thanks for knowing other wikipedians are sympathetic to my position. Cheerio, John Smith's 21:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Quick Answer

I will quote you the first sentence on her user page:

I am an official of the Palestinian authority and a member of Hamas' political public relations division; I am an official representative of the authority in the online field.

I hope that makes it clear. Jayjg 01:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

1. Official of the Palestinian Authority in the online field.
2. Hamas won the Palestinian Authority elections.
3. Member of Hamas' political public relations division.

Do you think that officials of governments are paid for their duties? If someone's official duties involved representing them in "the online field", do you think that would include Misplaced Pages? Apparently the giant text was not only necessary, but I should have made it blinking as well. Jayjg 15:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Lets look at Jayjg shall we.... I think that actually coming out and saying that you are with the PNA is far better than the cloak and dagger operation Mossad has going... --Asucena 17:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
