WP:ANI

I copied your vandalism report on WP:ANI to the appropriate noticeboard, WP:AIV, which generally has a quicker response. Cheers, Yuser31415 (Editor review two!) 20:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

WGee

Wgee is an editor who i have had problems with in the past while editing the British National Party page. I feel for you as this editor can often be beligerant in thier views on a topic and frequlently revets th a "concensous" version even after discussion has taken place to update concensous.--Lucy-marie 09:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm keeping a close eye on his edits and will report him to ANI if necessesary. Sorry you have experienced a run-in with this guy.-- EnglishEfternamn _contribs 18:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Your signature code

EE, I hope you don't mind my mentioning this. I've noticed your signature code has some redundant tags that make it unnecessarily long. Some users (not me though) are against excessively long signatures because it can make it hard for people to follow conversations on talk pages when in the editing window. I've taken the liberty of removing the redundant tags for you. Here is code that will give the same results but only takes up 4 lines (in my browser) instead of the previous 8, a 50% reduction of space. Just trying to help...feel free to ignore this if you wish. Cheers.

Okay, that works. Do you mind telling me if any users in particular were complaining? Just curious is all.--EnglishEfternamn_contribs 20:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

None that I know of, yet. I just noticed an opportunity to offer help. I'd also like to take the opportunity to say that I hope we can put the past behind us, let bygones be bygones, and (insert your favorite cliché here). No hard feelings?--William Thweatt | 05:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Sure, why not? On that I do admit that I may have been a bit unreasonable. Sorry about that by the way, are we friends now?--EnglishEfternamn_contribs 00:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The State of Sweden

Goddag, I am writing to let you know, I AM curious to hear what you have to say on the subject. It sounds to me like you don't think very well of the Swedish Social Democratic party, and I'm wondering why. I'm guessing you living in Sweden, so I find this interesting. Jag heter EnglishEfternamn, men jag kallas "Smith".-- EnglishEfternamn _contribs 23:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hm. No, indeed I do not think very well of the social democrats - it should however be duly noted that I find the current government even worse! But, quite large parts of the swedish populace were in fact quite apathetic under most of 2006, and both the social democrats and the moderates received criticism for being, well, for being the same shit. Fredrik Reinfeldt orchestrated a facelift of the moderates, changing the party colors, calling it "the new workers' party", defending "the swedish model" (on collective wage agreements), talking about welfare, the poor, etcetera. Meanwhile, the social democrats kept on speaking about the exact same thing although still wanting to draw right-wing voters. The result was, it seemed to me and many others, that the social democrats were suddenlt the moderates and vice versa.

Now, my criticism against this parliamentarian mash-up is not entirely based on ordinary mistrust for politicians. I'm also part of the Swedish extra-parliamentary left, which, well, doesn't like parlamentarianism at all. I have no reason to explain all this to you though, after all, we're on Misplaced Pages! See Sveriges Arbetares Centralorganisation and related articles to satisfy those needs, if you have any of the sort.

I'd like to end with a quote, from Per Gahrton: The great bluff is that the Moderates and the Social Democrats are opposites. In reality, they are in all important matters identical trustees of a materialistic growth-society where the main task of the State is to defend the over-consumption of the rich world, now also with weapons in hand and EU-helmet on the head. Perhaps they could extend their already finished life period by joining forces as the "Social Moderates".

Quote (sloppily translated by me) comes from Yelah, a libertarian socialist internet news magazine. The short notice of course goes on to discuss his own involvement in the bombing of Afghanistan etcetera.

Now, I'm just babbling. I hope I said something that makes sense. I'm quite tired. Lev väl! Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 23:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

How's it going?

Hope you're doing well... It's been a few weeks since we've interacted and looking at your contributions, it looks like you've been hard at work with VP and other helpful tasks. I hope you're finding that fun and rewarding, it benefits the project! Please don't hesitate to ask if I can be of any assistance or give any advice. ++Lar: t/c 20:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, VP can be fun and rewarding, and it is a good and quick way to keep pages undamaged, so to speak. But using it has shocked me, as I have seen how much vandalism takes place in the span of just 10 minutes in any given time, mostly from IPs, and mostly to pages most people don't care much about. I don't see why annonymous IPs should even be allowed to edit at this point, but I won't get into that, not the time or energy for that. I am working on creating several articles, but I've not finished any of them as I have been quite busy with school and all. But thanks for checking up and all. Have a good afternoon. --EnglishEfternamn_contribs 19:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

It's a philosophy thing, I think. (The encyclopedia that anyone can edit!) There are some anons (IPs) that have absolutely amazingly positive contribution logs. It's certainly a popular topic to debate, sometimes I feel that despite those good IPs that disallowing IP editing might be the way to go. Anyway, glad things are fun for you, take care... ++Lar: t/c 22:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
