Your edits reverted to the radically different new lead (your combined edits here ) while a discussion was taking place (near the bottom of the talk page). Was that unintentional?

I'm sorry for thinking you'd rewritten the lead, and I see you've reverted per discussion in another edit today, so you know all about that. I guess I'm just sick of CC shenanigans today. I should have toned down the edit summary too. I'll look over your edits and self-revert to retain all your technical changes. I'll get back to you when I'm done, and if you think I should self-revert more, I'm happy to discuss it. -- ] (]) 00:57, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

OTRS Stuff

Hi. I must admit, you really confused me by reassigning Ticket:2010040910011249 to me; I assumed it was related to a ticket I had already handled. Maybe a bit more than FYI next time? :D We process typically a dozen or more articles a day through CP, so I'm afraid that I don't watchlist them or really remember their details.

Given that action and your note at Talk:Daniel Gajski, I just wanted to let you know that if a ticket comes in for an article that has already gone through WP:CP (or G12, for that matter) and the content has been removed, you should restore it in accordance with the FAQ and put the proper OTRS template on the article's talk page {{ConfirmationOTRS}} is the best for text). I'll do it this time, but it's a pretty straightforward procedure. :) --Moonriddengirl 12:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

P.S. Except with one additional complication here. Since the person who placed the text is not the copyright holder, we also have to use an attribution template on the article's face. {{CCBYSASource}} works, since it isn't dually licensed. --Moonriddengirl 12:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Have you made an edit to a page related to climate change ever?

I'm wondering - have you ever substantially edited a page related to climate change, or do you merely revert other editors as part of various edit wars? If you have, could you point out one content edit you've made? Just checking something. Hipocrite (talk) 20:43, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I found one. Hipocrite (talk) 20:49, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Objectionable comments

Hei Nsaa, passing by Short Brigade Harvester Boris's talk page I noticed the discussion concerning two edits that you feel were objectionable. To attempt to explain further, 'Have you stopped beating your wife' is given as an example of an objectionable question, in that whatever the answer, it involves admitting to the beating - the phrase is used when someone feels that they have been given a loaded question to answer, it is certainly not an insult, more a request to rephrase the question. As to 'assume', the full phrase is "Don't assume as it makes an ass out of you (u) and me", which is rather lame, but certainly not an insult either. Both cases rely on the reader understanding the meaning, as to call someone a wifebeater or an ass would be insulting. Having spent a total of 7 years working in Norway over the years, I've had to explain a lot of unusual English idiom that I had used without considering my audience (generally including speakers of several other language as well as Norwegian), so I can understand any confusion that may have arisen. I hope that this helps. Mvh, Mikenorton (talk) 21:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation! Anyway in this combative environment it looks a bit odd using such phrases. Why just not state that the user thinks its a loaded question if that is the case? Nsaa (talk) 21:32, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Good question, I use rather too many such phrases myself. Mikenorton (talk) 22:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikiquette alert

if you'd like to comment. Cla68 (talk) 23:31, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I believe you asked for help with your English?

I'm not an English teacher (my older brother is) and so I probably can't articulate why some of your grammer is incorrect but I can correct it for you. So, to help you in this function, I'll present a post of yours I just read and then attempt to fix it.

This is so bad. I have no word for it. Why the heck should my language be subject to Atmoz comments at all? Why not just keep the discussion about what was discussed? I find it totally counterproductive and it harms Misplaced Pages. So yes give him a long block or a long topic ban for this so other people can start working. What do Atmoz try to achieve? Getting people angry so they make "mistakes" and can get them blocked/topic banned? Nsaa (talk) 01:29, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Corrected (hopefully!):

I tried not to rewrite them too much, but hopefully you find this helpful. Cheers. TheGoodLocust (talk) 02:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! - Nsaa remember to always reread what you post - :-) Nsaa (talk) 21:29, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Revert

Hey Nsaa!! Here you reverted an edit that justified itself by referencing the talkpage. You said you didn't see it as in line with the section titled "Outcome" I believe what was meant was the similarly titled "Outcome again". Would you mind checking in on that latter section? If you still stand by your revert you have my blessing, if not, self-revert?--Heyitspeter (talk) 18:12, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. I will self revert. Nsaa (talk) 21:18, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Self Revert Done. Providing links to the discussion can help when editing, especially when we talk about something with more than one discussion ongoing. Nsaa (talk) 21:23, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Note

HI, just a note you commented on: User talk:137.219.252.3; just wanted to let you know that this is a university IP (JCU, Townsville, QLD, AUS) Everyone on the university outsources through it so for example; I saw a "message for me; from you" even though I personally never did anything to wiki. Thought you might want to know so you don't keep posting to that IP.

Note that user talk pages receive messages for everyone who uses that IP to edit. If you want to avoid irrelevant messages, create an account.—Tetracube (talk) 19:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Language Barrier

Hei Officer :) I mean this Schulz guy repeated the smear, doubnting I would be able to convey irony or sarkasm in a second language. I gave him a sort of example in my reply and insofar I dont see the need to bring him to court. I strongly believe he will try it the other way round. Polentario (talk) 22:23, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice to see that you can manage to write Norwegian :-). Keep up the good work and just don't bother when people says "he's also the creator of the utterly dreadful de:Gore-Effekt article, which makes this one look like featured article quality by comparison. I'll AfD that too shortly. -- ChrisO (talk) 18:40, 12 June 2010 (UTC)". Nsaa (talk) 23:20, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Youre welcome. I translated no:Terje Rollem from Norwegian into German and expanded the articel, it has been mentioned on the main page as well, but I wouldnt go in the other direction. The Climatist Gang in the German WP tried an AfD against de:Gore-Effekt as well but its been accepted. So Signore Schulz has to provide more than hot air to get further. Lets see. Ha de bra !Polentario (talk) 23:38, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Cool! I've not read about Terje Rollem (hm. we need an article here also :-) before. I've asked JakeInJoisey (talk · contribs) to be more polite in his comments also. Nsaa (talk) 00:01, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

"Al Gore Effect"

Per at least some if not all of sources 8, 9, 10, and 11 use "Al Gore effect". Active Banana (talk) 21:06, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I will add it :-) Nsaa (talk) 21:11, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Stop your disruptive edits at The Gore Effect

I've reverted them all. We're discussing the lead on the talk page and you're changing it radically. Your other radical changes will need consensus. You don't have it. Try to get it first. Then change the article in those radical ways if you get consensus. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 00:26, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

I've not changed the lead? I've only done very small changes, and technical movements of references. Did I remove this? Where did I do that? Nsaa (talk) 00:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I"m sorry. I think I misinterpreted what was going on. Your edits reverted to the radically different new lead (your combined edits here ) while a discussion was taking place (near the bottom of the talk page). Was that unintentional?
