It's not advertising!!!

Hey

I live in Charlotte! None of those are advertising ANYTHING!! They either EXPAND on topics briefly mentioned, or COVER topics NOT MENTIONED AT ALL!

Most of them are public utility links. Others are sites recently featured in the news for one reason or another as USEFUL!

I live here in Charlotte, YOU DO NOT!

Don't edit things you know nothing about! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.172.118.10 (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

West Side Story advertising

Thank you for taking action against the people advertising that local production of West Side Story in North Carolina. No matter how emphatic and obvious the policy is, there will always be people involved with local, amateur, and student productions of shows that will try to advertise on Wikipedia. We need more people like you who prevent pages from being cluttered by self-serving, irrelevant information.--Cassmus 07:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

RE: L.A. Coliseum and Sports Arena

The coliseum and sports arena are generally referred to as being in downtown but south is also correct. I wouldn't worry too much. I'm just waiting until the IP cools down a bit. -- bulletproof ^3:16 00:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Great... now I have the image of sea slugs having an orgy in my head... Thanks a lot! -- bulletproof ^3:16 00:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

wc death

as far as i know, they're now dismissing the idea of it relating to match fixing. But yeah, this world cup has everything- from the biggest upsets to tragedies. But just to stick to the cricket, its been a very interesting one. Im don't know about the black sox scandal can you fill me in on that?--Thugchildz 01:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, cricket went through a phase similar to that in the '90s when indian players were involved in match fixing scandals as well, but then the International Cricket Council took a strong stand against corruption and created the anti-corruption program.--Thugchildz 01:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit war question

Thanks for the advice. I really thought you were an admin, as much as I see your name on things. Couillaud 02:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Piggly Wiggly

I was not questioning your concern over this matter, only your methods of drawing attention to the problem. All articles have talk pages that are used for discussing problems with the article. Failing that Wikipedia:Copyright problems is the place to raise copyright concerns. I have compared the article with the Piggly Wiggly website, and deleted all the copy/pasted text that I found. —JeremyA (talk) 00:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I put the unreferenced tag back in because, having removed the material that was most blatantly copied from the Piggly Wiggly website, it is unclear to me what the source of much of the information was. Granted, there are still a lot of facts that can be sourced to the official website, but I think that there are many that can't. Requesting that editors provide references is perfectly normal Wikipedia practice. —JeremyA (talk) 00:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Response to 24 1/2

I responded with: The 1/2 times comes from when a user put a message on my user page as opposed to my talk page. It wasn't really vandalism, so I included it as a "1/2" instead. :) It seemed better to list it as that than to list is as a full vandalism edit. Acalamari 23:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Apollo

Noted. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on continuing off-topic discussion/arguements after that point, since I really do want to see more information about the mounted camera. I figure any legitimate question on the talk page is something else that could probably be added to the article. ♦^TH1RT3EN _{talk ♦ contribs} 02:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Jarry Park Stadium

My source is the French Wiki fr:Stade Jarry. One MUST distinguish between the stadium and the large urban park of the same name Jarry Park or Parc Jarry (fr:Parc Jarry). I KNOW, because I live here. Salut. Peter Horn 03:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

On second thought Jarry Stadium, a literal translation of Stade Jarry, would have been more appropriate. It is more ellegant and would also have preserved the distinction between the stadium and the urban park. See fr:Jarry#Toponyme. Peter Horn 13:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

The name (term) Jarry Park Stadium can be found within this link: Jarry Park

==Christy Mathewson Mathewson was born in 1878, not 1880 according to documents from Bucknell and reliable baseball research. Please do not change it back.

Looney Tunes article

You should be informed that a Canadian dollar coin is called a Loonie because the reverse side of the coin has a loon which is a bird. Steelbeard1 17:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Dates

Now I see your pain involving date changes. Ron liebman (talk · contribs) is even doing the same at other wikis such as here. Unfortunately records are sometimes muddy back then so sometimes it's best to explain the discrepancy like I did with this edit to Fred Clarke. On the other hand, it appears that Ron liebman is unwilling to get so specific about his sources so it could get ugly. —Wknight94 (talk) 17:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I spent some time today going over the contributions of the following:

• Ron liebman (talk · contribs)
• 65.88.88.126 (talk · contribs)
• 141.155.226.201 (talk · contribs)
• 207.159.196.253 (talk · contribs)
• 12.199.96.253 (talk · contribs)

...and reverting the questionable edits. Does it look like I got them all? Blocks are likely if anyone needs to repeat this effort. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Major League Baseball titles streaks

Could you please explain to me what false edits} I made? I had seen there were several odd edits by a couple of IPs. I then reverted to your version and cleaned up the rather ugly formatting. If you prefer the weird formatting then say so but don't put in misleading edit summaries. If on the other hand it was an error on your part, in that you thought someone was inserting the odd edits of the IPs then I think you should take a few seconds to review edits rather than a blind revert. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I see that I was a bit more grumpy than I needed to be. I was reverting a vandal. Saw they had also edited Christy Mathewson's birthday which I reverted based on the external links. Then I saw their edits to Major League Baseball titles streaks and your comments. Reverted to your last edit and fixed the formatting. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Felt

Thanks, I did not take it that way, I was a tad disappointed in myself that I had not caught the previous vandalism and was wondering how you identified and reverted it so quickly. Thanks.

Duke accuser photo

Hi Wahkeenah - Thanks for your support on these issues. I'm trying to see if we can come to an agreement on the photo without another heated argument; I'd value your input on it. You know my preference on it, but more important to me is that the issue is decided based on consensus, instead of depending on whoever is the more persistent reverter. Thanks. BTW, are you from Oregon? Anywhere near The Dalles? Guanxi 13:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

From Ron Liebman and others - The streaks interrupted by military service (paticularly involving full seasons) have been recognized by The Sporting News, which prints the leading record book in its field since the 1940"s (though they will not publish a 2007 edition) in the Record Book, Register, and Daguerreotypes. I belong to the Society for American Baseball Research, which also does. Ted Williams will have led the league in runs 5 consecutive years and in walks 6 consecutive years long after both of us are dead. But I will not revert them for now. If you don't, I will do so at a later date. It is not my own "opinion" or "manifestation, and I am not a vandal. Let's cut the crap. My "birthyears" are based on reliable sources. I am an award winning researcher who has been doing baseball research for a half century, and I have attended 34 (going on 35) consecutive National Conventions of SABR.

Then give those reliable sources. There are a lot of people spending a lot of time reverting your changes when all you have to do is give details for your references. —Wknight94 (talk) 17:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Oriole_Park_z4-0160.JPG listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Oriole_Park_z4-0160.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Image:Bull_Durham_Greensboro1.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Bull_Durham_Greensboro1.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ^(talk) 21:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Help report

Please add comments: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Carfiend. I think that the evidence is pretty strong: they act in tandem, tag team, and have very similar editorial styles. --ScienceApologist 01:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

It should be easier now to proceed in editting these articles. The result is one of the most lucid and level-headed I have ever seen made by an administrator. I would award the closing administrator a barnstar, but I don't want to appear to be gloating. In principle, it is a difficult thing to have users blocked since Wikipedia loves to give second chances, but it seems that this user/set-of-users has been given a variety of free passes and copious second chances that they had finally exhausted. Now let's get back to writing the encyclopedia! --ScienceApologist 11:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Wahkeenah, thanks for your note. I hope that you and the other editors who work on those articles will find the atmosphere more harmonious from now on. However, sockpuppeteers often return in new guises, so don't hesitate to ask for help in the future.

As an aside, I agree 100% with resisting edit warring...I understand very well the temptation to be sarcastic and incivil to editors who act obtuse, but ultimately it's counterproductive. First of all, a lot of people with non-standard viewpoints come to Wikipedia looking for a fight, and when you give it to them, it simply encourages them to fight harder. And worse, editors who aren't involved in the dispute can get the impression that everyone's being a jerk, so there's no point in intervening. Anyway, happy editing! --Akhilleus (talk) 04:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Billy Hamilton death date

I see that you were involved in trying to get the correct (or, sourced anyway) death date for Billy Hamilton (baseball player) to stay on his page. You can look at the edit history for my recent attempts to get the other party to provide a real citation, which they are unable to do. I'm not sure what the next step is to try to get this edit war to stop. If you could be of any help I would appreciate it. I also left this message at User talk:Wknight94, who was also involved in trying to stop the unsourced edits. Thanks, Mattingly23 17:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I just had Lou Gehrig on my watchlist and have boldly reverted his TPR edit there, without checking his other similar edits as you've done. It certainly looks like WP:OR and should be reverted across the board, IMHO Cheers, JGHowes ^talk - 16:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

The joke being added to the Felt article is funny, but doesn't really belong in the article. I'm going to remove it again. Mark Chovain 07:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

When did I use the term vandal? Here are the only edits I've made on the topic of Felt: [1] [2] [3] [4].

I'd say I've been extremely civil, and assumed good faith in each and every one of those edits. I have not used the term "vandal", until this edit. Mark Chovain 21:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Perfect game

Terrific work with that--always satisfying to correct the scholars. (Just want to verify--the correct Lanigan quote is "Charles Robertson of Chicago Americans," not "Charles Robertson of the Chicago Americans"?)

I'm a lifelong Mets fan, meaning I'm a Coney fan. I watched that game on television--I don't care if it was a bad Expos team, that's the single most brilliant pitching performance I've ever seen. The movement he was getting on his pitches was otherworldly.

I'm a lifelong Mets fan, meaning the notion of Yankees "karma" makes me want to hit myself with a rusty cleat. We report the facts in the game note--let the people decide whether it's karma or Satan. Best, Dan—DCGeist 09:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Who ?

Who made you God? You should not think yourself so wise that you might not be mistaken, Mr. Char. NC. Afterall, you displayed all of your true wisdom and IQ in your personal comments made about several people on other pages. If you know so much and are so smart why are you using childish "name-calling" when dealing with other people? The website rules state that no one is suppose to be offensive. How can you report other people for violation of adminstrative rules when you are consistantly violating the rules by offending so many with your name-calling and insults.

And

It was advertising. How do you know who lives in the Char, NC area and who does not? User:207.144.59.134 02:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Editting

You should make a habit of editting things about which you do not know have information. You are not an expert, not a genius, and not even a professor on these subjects.

citation

There is a citation present, and published professional literature is not considered new research. Wake-up. Just because you did not know does not make it wrong. What type of satisfaction do you get from your naracistic egoisms? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.144.59.134 (talk) 05:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC).

Please note that Wahkeenah is so unable to properly respond to the valid comments made by this user that he has made a point of attempting to change the spelling in her posting on the entire website, to try to make her appear less intelligent and her comments unvalid. Wahkeenah -- a little childish, don't you think?

Re: JELLYROLL and IP Addresses

Once again, you don't know what you are saying. Check locations of IP address, we are not the same person. We just happen to be people who share a point of view. Don't ignore facts just because they represent opinions which differ from yours. You are the reason that ignorance exists in this world - closed-minded facism. AND YES--JELLYROLL is an insulting slur... Be advised that if this is not addressed legal action will be taken against both of you. (You would think you would check out information prior to attempting to publish it, but you repeatly publish incorrect information based completely upon your opinions, which are not - and not even close to - fact.)
