Welcome

Hey there, Kalsermar. Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian and decide to stay! Here are a few good links for newcomers (or "oldcomers" for reference):

By the way, you should sign and date your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. Three tildes (~~~) produces just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Great, just what we need around this place... more people whose names can spell "Ram Lakers". Dumb Lakers. :) Cheers. --Lord Voldemort 19:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Recent Deaths

Your arguments weren't bad at all, and you'd make an eloquent spokesperson for your view if the matter came to a vote. One thing I love about Misplaced Pages is that it defaults in favor of the inclusion of information, so while I would expect our positions to be split 50/50 in support, this would normally result in their being listed. Long before my time, this debate was had; besides my own views, another reason I oppose changing is the difficulty of revising the archives.

If it means anything, I do support the death penalty, though the way it is applied in Texas and Virginia scares me. I also support criminology, and think the dispassionate analysis of criminals is a useful social science; hence, I see their being cataloged at WP as a positive good. Best wishes, Xoloz 22:40, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I enjoy the debate and respect everyone's views on the issue. Revising the archives would be problematic, I agree.--Kalsermar 16:52, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

An AfD that you recently particpated in has been recycled. Please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of state-named Avenues in Washington, D.C. (second nomination). - brenneman 05:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I suspect some yahoos are going to add it back in, but we can take turns reverting... Rklawton 18:29, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Your turn? Rklawton 16:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I will keep an eye on the article but I am not always in a position to act quickly I'm afraid.--Kalsermar 19:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Steelbeard1 hasn't been able to address the issues discussed in the talk pages. He has request a "truce," but his version of a truce is to leave the edits his way. Rklawton 20:48, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm not going to get involved in an edit war right now but I will revert it later or tomorrow probably. If he persists I may request comments on this and related issues. I will put up a message on his talk page as well.--Kalsermar 21:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Appreciation

Thank you very much. I think we have very similar views, as I was just looking at some other comments you made on the olympic conventions page. Medalstats and Them medals seem to be not only expressing their views, but implimenting them as well, which is rude and rather sad. As long as we continue to bash our opponents outrageous views, I think we can draw in enough supporters to make for a "pro us" resolution of these debates. Keep up the good editing! --Jared / 23:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppets

I would like to again bring to your attention the comment you left on the Misplaced Pages:Olympic conventions page. The three users: Medalstats, Them Medals, and Wintermedal, look quite suspicious of being the same person. Look at the user contribs of each one and note that each one is used on a specific date; Medalstats stops at the 24th, Them medals picks up on the 25th, and Winter medal is on the 26th. Look eerie to you too? If you're an admin, I suggest doing somjething about this, as I am not one myself. (I'd do it in a heartbeat.) Thanks. P.S. Notify me if you do anything. --Jared / 20:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure how you would do that. I'll see if I can find some way to report it and how bout you look for some evidence? --Jared / 20:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, here's the template I should add to the user names: {{Sockpuppet|1=SOCKPUPPETEER|evidence=]}}. I will add it to all three of them if you think we have enough evidence. Thanks for the help. --Jared / 20:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok I started adding them to the talk and main user pages. the link to where the evidence is to go is posted on the template. --Jared / 21:07, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to look for an admin to address this to. So these users will be taken care of fast. --Jared / 21:35, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

That's quite alright. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. --Jared / 22:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

More evidence

Them medals: 03:55, February 25, 2006 (hist) (diff) Talk:Total Olympics medal count (support for medal count scores)

Wintermedal: 16:48, February 26, 2006 (hist) (diff) Misplaced Pages:Olympic conventions/topics (support for medal count scores)

Note the exact same edit summary... Something tells me there was someone before it, too, and I'll try to find out who it was.

Re: Antics

Thanks for the comment. That was a nice thing to say. Yeah, I've been trying to get rid of some of those "red links" too. TYhere's just so many you can do without getting bored, though. Haha. Anyway, I looked at your comment and I've decided that I will scratch the whole thing. Your logic is right and I want that page to turn out well. P.S. Yeah I contacted an admin who then blocked him. He was being very bothersome. haha, --Jared / 01:22, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Urgent!

Kal, please go to this page ASAP, as the Olympic conventions pages have been nominated for deletion! I trust that you like them a lot and from your edits, you are not willing to lose all of the work you put in. I urge you to vote "Keep", as 3 weeks of work are about to go down the drain! Thanks. (and tell other active contributors.) --Jared / 20:33, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Olympic conventions debate

Hi all! The debate on Olympic conventions has been moved and is now under the auspices of WikiProject Sports Olympics/Olympic conventions. We are now trying to decide what to do with all of the data that has been collected and start some sort of "governance". If you'd like to take part in this discussion, feel free to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Sports_Olympics#Ground_rules (the WikiProject talk page). We would appreciate your help! --J@red / 20:01, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: AfD

Hi Kalsermar. Thanks for alerting me. I too saw that on his user page and figured it would only be a matter of time before he made a page. Anyway, I voted delete (obviously). So did you hear anything about the sockpuppets of his? I just went to WP:CHECK and looked in the archives and I didn't see anything about the heading I added for medalstats. That's weird that its gone. Oh well. He hasn't edited on any of the others recently, so whatever. Thanks, again. → J@red  _ubx  20:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I guess I didn't see that. Well it doesn't matter anymore becuase he's not editing with those. → J@red  _ubx  20:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Propaganda in the United States

Do you still think this article should be deleted? Gazpacho 19:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

In its current form most definitely. If the article gets deleted and then perhaps rewritten in a NPOV and encyclopaedic way with sources then it would be fine but the current article is utterly deletable.--Kalsermar 15:22, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Wait a minute... did you look at the article again? Gazpacho 18:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes I have. Right now there's one and a half paragraph there that actually deals with the subject.

Stephen Hendry

The edit in question was about Nigel Bond, not Jimmy White. I assume you meant to put Bond in your edit summary. Bond had not beaten Hendry in the World Championship since 1995. "It can be said" of course, is a weasel word. --Knucmo2 14:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

What I meant was that it wasn't the first time in 16 years that Hendry lost in the first round as I seem to recall he lost to White in the first round not all that long ago. You are correct that Bond had not beaten Hendry.--Kalsermar 14:49, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Const article is about the TEXT itself

all facts are from the text. John wesley 14:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you could improve the format but there are quirky things in the actual text. John wesley 14:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC) Letters of marque and reprisal for instance. What are they? John wesley 14:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I was not disputing the accuracy of the facts you included, I am disputing whether they belong in an encyclopaedia.--Kalsermar 14:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

1514

Does the fact that 1514 has a nebula around it disqualify it as a star? JMK 12:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, in a way yes. NGC 1514 is a planetary nebula which consists of a star with a nebula around it but the designation NGC 1514 describes, for all intents and purposes, just the nebula. If you know what the designation of the star itself is, together with its magnitude than that would be appropriate to include in the list of stars, otherwise I would include the object under the subsection notable deep sky objects.--Kalsermar 17:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Why just Scorpio??

Why do you remove all the basic astrological information from Scorpio and not the other astrology pages like Libra or Sagittarius? Is this like a vendetta against an ex-girlfriend or something? Why not just take it all out, or just leave it all in? ]

First off, I would like to request you change your tone of language. Secondly, I take irrelevant information out of those I come across and Scorpius happens to be on my watchlist right now. If and when I find it elsewhere I will take the same course of action as imho astrological information does not belong in these scientific articles about astronomical subjects.--Kalsermar 17:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

This person is a sock puppet for Fraser Cain

Stop vandalising the Universe Today page Fraser. Your behaviour is contemptible. You do not have a patent on the title Universe Today and you have no right to monopolise the wikipedia page. End the masquerade.

I suggest you take these accusations Misplaced Pages:Requests for CheckUser with hard evidence to back it up. when these accusations are summarily dismissed, as they will be, a quick look at my contributions would suffice, I expect an apology in this space. In the mean time I strongly suggest you not post your tirades on my talk page. I do not take kindly to being accused of vandalism and I sill report it to administrators if it happens again. One last thing, if you are so certain of your case then why didn't you sign your post so that everyone can see who it is that made these remarks. All it takes is typing four tildes (~).--Kalsermar 14:06, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Request for investigation of User:UniverseToday

Hi Kalsermar. You have been active in reverting from linkspam posted by User:UniverseToday. I've discovered a systematic pattern of this activity, and posted a request for investigation of User:UniverseToday at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_investigation#New_requests, if you're interested in taking a look. Thanks. - Reaverdrop (talk/nl/wp:space) 03:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Reaverdrop, for the heads up on this. I also noticed that User:UniverseToday is now claiming that I am Fraser Cain, which is of course ridiculous, and has posted as such on my user talk page. Thanks agin for letting me know of the RfI.--Kalsermar 13:47, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
