Brawl revert?

I am a little unsure as to why you edited my attempt at archival at the Super Smash Bros. Brawl talk page. Perhaps I made a mistake during the process or something... either way, there's now a rather large conflict between the talk page and its 15th archive, and I'm mildly peeved at the work it would take to fix it. =/ Arrow 13:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

It looked like you were blanking it. An edit summary would help greatly next time. Majorly (talk) 13:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
I agree, I would have thought it was a blank too. Use of an edit summary stating your intentions would have prevented it. Wikidan829 14:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Majorly Day

This is a little random, but I think having June 8 of this year as your day was cool. I also think you're a good contributor here. If in the heat of moment I say something that seems uncivil to you, I'm sorry. BH (T|C) (Go Red Sox!) 15:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

United States Navy officer rank insignia

I am *really* confused. First off, why did you remove the admiral insignia? And secondly, why does it still appear in the article despite being taken out? I tried two different browsers and page purge. -N 18:57, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • How odd, it just disappeared. That's some server lag we've got. Still, I'm reverting the removal. -N 18:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
  • Now really, are you going to argue the insignia designs aren't really PD? First off, show me where the consensus says this. And use more descriptive edit summaries. -N 19:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Image:Admiral insignia.gif. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -N 19:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Whitelisting a web-site for persistant spamming

Per my report here at ANI, and a prior case at WP:ANI which led to its semi-protected status once (or twice?) before, I am curious as to what you believe in the spam link. The general consensus is to remove the fan site, but the reverts continue from various IPs based upon that Howard Stearn has its own fan spam. I'm not affiliated with the articles in any way, and only saw the case through ANI. I requested semi-protect earlier but was probably jumping the gun since there was not enough activity at the time to justify it, but if the persistance continues, could a request be made for the link to be whitelisted? Just curious, Seicer (talk) (contribs) 04:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't know. Does it really need whitelisting? Majorly (talk) 12:07, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
It's being continuously spammed, despite administrator actions in the past, consensus at WP:ANI (prior case), and consensus by other editors through reverts. Like today. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 18:59, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Don't you mean blacklisted, if it's a bad link? Majorly (talk) 19:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oh, sorry. I saw whitelisted mentioned somewhere, and for some reason, that stuck with me. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 19:48, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Utopian Drums and Time Lords

Hi, could you not have just semi-protected the pages, since they're only being vandalised by IPs (it's not a dispute; they're adding unsourced information and comments such as "get off your high-horse").--Rambutan (talk) 07:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

It was a dispute. Majorly (talk) 12:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

It wasn't: facts on WP must have a listed source using <cite> or [http://www.example.com], but the info being added didn't, so they were wrong.--Rambutan (talk) 13:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


Actually some people may care

It is interesting that right above my post (that you removed) is a small discussion about schools that have banned wikipedia from their campuses. my post was on a school that fails its students because of citing wikipedia in scholarly reports. So i guess it does tie in with the article above and some people may care. As they will see a patern of higher education and their attitude towards wikipedia. and thanks for the little smiley faces after removing the post, arent you so cute.


Famous Hoax article

Question. There was a famous wikipedia hoax article about a fictitious war with Canada for Michigan’s upper peninsula. I don’t remember how I came across it. Can anyone direct me to that page?

Thank you

Hi Majorly, thank you for your note of support at my RfA. Shyamal 04:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fan-cr*p

Hi, I’ve made a proposal here, about fan-cr*p on Doctor Who articles in the wake of a broadcast. Any opinions?--Rambutan (talk) 16:45, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
