{{mergeto|Pequannock Township, New Jersey}}

Page nuked on reaching 33KB, one of the browsers I use still barfs on pages this large. Its in the History still... --[[User:Kiand|Kiand]] 18:44, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

'''Pequannock''' is a small [[suburban]] township located in [[Morris County, New Jersey|Morris County]] northern [[New Jersey]]. It is primarily a bedroom community to nearby [[New York City]] and home to roughly 4,661 residents. What the town lacks in entertainment or commerce it makes up for in historical significance.

== Goddamn Fat Domino fans ==

== Linguistic Significance ==

I think their old age is finally getting to them. Sigh.

Pequannock is thought to have been derived from the Lenni Lenape "Paquettahhnuake", meaning, "cleared land ready or being readied for cultivation". Pompton has been cited by some sources to mean "a place where they catch soft fish".

By the way, I see you're one of the Haiku News editors. Nice, I read that site and as well as being a great source of information about Be happenings, it's very pretty. :) --[[User:Hn|Hn]] 09:02, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

== Historic Pequannock ==

Incorporated in [[1740]] as one of the largest townships in the region, this 6.96 square mile bedroom community composed of [[Pompton Plains]] in its northern portion and old Pequannock in its southern was once a vast 176 square mile region of [[rural]] [[farmland]] settled by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] after its purchase by [[Arent Schuyler]] and associates in the late [[1690]]'s.

== Ameriphobia ==

No, I am objecting to systematic bias, and putting forth an argument that no one seems to be able to respond to.

1)Is it too POV? Well this page [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npov#Lack_of_neutrality_as_an_excuse_to_delete) says that is not a good cause for deletion. Official Wikipedia policy. Why is that ignored?????

2)Neologism? It's not my term, but the New Yorker's, and variants of the term appeared in 1800 webpages, as well as a major newspaper.

But I guess arguing against bias, being critical of Wikipedia and the admins just makes me a trouble maker. Such is the intolerant Wiki way.... I expected too much to think people might think critically and independently.

During the [[Revolutionary War]], [[George Washington]]'s troops camped on what is now the site of the Pequannock Valley Middle School. Washington himself of course made sure to get a room in the nearby Mandeville Inn.

== Edit conflict ==

During the Civil War, Pequannock was a stop on the underground railroad. The Giles Mandeville House, a field and quarrystone structure located at 515 Turnpike, which served as a waypoint for many runaway slaves, still stands today in use as the Manse of the adjacent First Reformed Church since 1953.

Not to worry; it's only irritating when I get five or six in a row... [[User:Mel Etitis|Mel Etitis]] ([[User talk:Mel Etitis|<font color="green">&Mu;&epsilon;&lambda; &Epsilon;&tau;&eta;&tau;&eta;&sigmaf;</font>)]] 11:56, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Vfd ==

== Other Pequannock Information ==

Thanks for the comment. I will admit, I'm somewhat new to patrolling VfD; are you familiar with what you suggested? You mean protecting an empty page, or putting some notice on it that it was deleted, etc? Frankly, recreating deleted articles is a ground for blocking, so I wouldn't worry ''too'' much about it. If he keeps this up, he'll be gone sooner or later. --[[User:Golbez|Golbez]] 22:20, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

People in Pequannock do lots of hardxcore drugs and get trashed nearly every night. Hooray Beer!

Pequannock people are usually white. Notar needs to leave town.

In your edit summary on the talk page of the VfD for "The Pogroms in Istanbul", you asked me to "show that he (Gabrichidze) is not another sock." I can't show he's not another sock. What I can say is this: Argyros' socks have all had their rhetoric in common. They all compared supporting the deletion of the page to Holocaust denial. They all reverted to each other. They were all active in Cyprus-related articles. They all had Dr. Who related nicks. They all had a minimal amount of contributions. Gabrichidze meets neither of these features. That ofcourse doesn't mean he is ''not'' a sock, but that behaviour is so different from Argyros' behaviour, that I see no option but to give Gabrichidze the benefit of the doubt.

**What about {{User|OOOklahoma}}? He or she is only active on the Cyprus dispute page, and his or her edits are quite anti-Turkish. At this point it's hard too tell whether this is a new Argyros-sock, future edits will have to show that, but for now I think we need to keep an eye on him/her.

== English Irish ==

I'm glad someone else has taken notice. I've had to revert [[Kinvara]] a number of times...He's now created a separate article entitled [[Cinn Mhara]]. He ''insists'' on using Irish names. I told him that I didn't mind so much if the Irish name he's using immediately follows the place name ''if'' the place name doens't have an article of its own. It's like talking to a brick wall. To make things even more confusing, he's sharing an IP with [[User:Fergananim|Fergananim]]. I'm betting their in the same office/educational center... but I assumed it was Fergananim making those changes. Unless he suffers from [[Multiple personality disorder]].

::His Irish spelling seems a bit off too...[[Droichead Nua]] seems to be the official name for Newbridge now, but he put ''Droichead Nuadh''. Aren't you supposed to always use the nominative form when using Irish phrases in English?

==[[Peter Lamborn Wilson]]/[[Hakim Bey]]==

Re: your reversion on this article some time back, I just wanted to clarify for you: names piped into the category links don't change ''how'' the name appears in the category list; they only change how the name sorts alphabetically. So if you put "Hakim Bey" in the category link, it doesn't make the article appear on the category page as "Hakim Bey" -- it just files "Peter Lamborn Wilson" under B. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 1 July 2005 17:21 (UTC)

Okay, fair enough...I just wasn't sure if you knew, since the category change was one of the things you reverted...sorry for the confusion. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 1 July 2005 17:34 (UTC)

==Irish television stations==

Thanks for your contributions on the City Channel and Channel 6. I was going to propose that we move these to [[City Channel (Dublin)]] and [[Channel 6 (Ireland)]] as they are not very imaginative names (ie quite generic) and it may be only a matter of time before other stations are written about in wikipdia with the same/similar name. Do you agree, a vote is not needed but with your consent I would be willing to move them? [[User:Djegan|Djegan]] 19:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

== "The most secure version of Unix" :) ==

The edit that was reversed is although common knowledge of most people who used all of the three major BSDs, for instance the "off by one" vulnerability of BSD FTPd affected OpenBSD as well, although the FTP daemon was disabled by default in out of the box setups for all BSDs.

OpenSSH vulnerabilities are another example, it also is disabled on all BSDs by default, but OpenBSD definitely was as vulnerable as the others whenever it was enabled and vulnerable.

"The most secure version of Unix" is also incorrect, and has a very biased tone :)

If all arguments in advocacy had to be backed up by references (although there exist references for my argument), I think that the article would need to be redone from scratch (especially considering the very controversial nature of so many arguments already in the article) :(

The previously reverted text:

== Pros ==

* OpenBSD is very security-focused, using integrated cryptography and proactive security measures, including extensive security auditing. This has led to a reputation for very few remotely executable security holes.

== Cons ==

* Has been vulnerable to most security advisories issued for other BSD systems because of the common heritage, although those SAs are rather rare on all of the BSDs.

Seems most reasonable, and I'm not there to bash the BSDs, I'm a BSD fan and used FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD for many years for software development (networking daemons, particularily)...

I won't just go and change the article again or start a fight over this, however. I thought it might be nice to talk about it though and see what to do about the "most secure version of Unix" which sounds so wrong :)

Thanks,

== Ralph Firman ==

Hi, I noticed your edits related to Ralph Firman's nationality, and I'm wondering, could you please provide a source. I've seen conflicting information, such as [http://www.formula1.com/archive/driver/2003.html F1] and [http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/drv-firral.html GrandPrix.com] listing him as British, but [http://www.pitpass.com/src/drivers/firman.php PitPass] listing him as Irish. What looks best is [http://www.4mula1.ro/history/driver/Ralph_Firman 4mula1.ro] and various forums listing him as having dual citizenship, his dad British, and his mom Irish. Unfortunatly, as Formula One seems to list him as British, the burden of proof lies with the Irish side of the debate, and unless a concrete source can be found, such as an image of the license, or an authoritative source listing Ralph Firman as having an Irish license, I'm inclined to revert back to GBR, as F1 claims. (BTW, if it ''is'' determined to be Irish, you might want to update [[2003 Formula One season]] (at the bottom), and the category for Ralph Firman, just to be complete.) -[[User:Slowpokeiv|slowpokeiv]] 02:04, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

:Re: [http://www.fia.com/resources/documents/2068891188__ESP_Class_2003.pdf FIA ESP 2003 Classification PDF], that's enough for me, but if there's a way to get the superlicence info (image, full text, whatever, ) that would be concrete and definitive. I appreciate the effort you're putting into this, especially as I'm not quite sure where to find it myself. :) -[[User:Slowpokeiv|slowpokeiv]] 15:34, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

==MediaWiki - stupid?==

You wrote ''the homepage was already linked at the end of the article'' ? *lol* [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki&diff=21103295&oldid=21103006 So why did you remove the link completely then]?

And please readd the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki&diff=prev&oldid=21104257 removed] link to [[SourceForge]] too: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipedia/

An edit war with you might be boring, so I hope you know which software you're working with and you'll do a double take the next time before you revert almost blindly ;-) - [[User:217.237.151.226|217.237.151.226]] 00:51, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

:The link I removed was not to http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipedia/ but to [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net], which redirects to [http://www.mediawiki.org], so there is absolutely no point in replacing it.

::Yeah, I was just upset because you didn't improve the links and their format corresponding to en.wikipedia guidelines (which I don't have to know exactly) as xou should, but remove the contents instead. Therefor I wrote ''stupid'', think it's clear now. Please note that the sourceforge link I gave you above is absolutely reasonable.

== Yer wan ==

I checked with someone who was written extensively about nicknames of Dublin monuments (he's a folklorist who records nicknames as part of an academic study on Hiberno-English nicknames) and his comment was "that's bullshit". A number of the nicknames on that page are frankly made up. The problem is that we have set no objective criteria on for how widespread a nickname is. Some of them (and the Queen Vic statue is a classic example) appear at best to be made up names used by a handful of people, with 99% never having heard the name let alone use it. Names simply made up, or used exclusively by tiny fringe groups for POV reasons &mdash; another example was "Wellington's cock" which was used exclusively by one Sinn Féin cumann of 8 members in the 1930s, all because one of them thought it up in a pub and shared it among friends &mdash; can't be said to meet objective NPOV rules. So ''floozie in the jacuzzi'', ''time in the slime'', ''tart with the cart'' ''can'' be verified. The standard under NPOV should be a nickname ''widely used'' in (i) print and (ii) general conversation by the population. The ''auld bitch'' cannot be verified, and Tom did try to find nicknames for that statue. All the one's he'd hear, like the "fat wan", "pussy galore" &mdash; referring to her sex life and number of children &mdash; etc had tiny circulations, rarely touching 100 people, and some of them were restricted entirely to individual families; an example was the supposed nickname of de Valera as the "long cunt", etc.

The article as it stands breaches NPOV rules by not having verifiable nicknames, just ones one person heard from someone else and which may actually have a usage of two, or even worse completely made up names.

Folklorists (who record nicknames like that) haven't heard it. I've written about the topic of nicknames in the media and I hadn't heard it. The files on the file in the archives which recorded all information on the statue, have no record of it (and they do record nicknames of other statues elsewhere but that one is silent on the issue, etc) so there is no independent verification of its existence.
