Operation Clambake[edit]

Hi, I saw your edits to Operation Clambake. Have you considered yet joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Scientology? The questions of how the various Scientology-related categories are arranged are the sort of thing that gets debated there. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Im a relatively new wiki user, but if you feel I may be of value to the project, I'd love to participate. Any information I should have before adding my name to the participants secion of WP:SCN? AKMask 06:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing besides the basic policies you need to know on Wikipedia anyways. It's actually surprising how few problem users WP:SCN collects; mostly everyone there seems truly interesting in getting the articles up to an NPOV standard. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Epitaph/RIAA connection, etc[edit]

replying to: Im just posting this because I wish to avoid any sort of edit war. Is it possible for you to cite a notable source defining a major record label the way you are asserting? It's a new one by me. AKMask 16:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate your efforts to avoid an edit war (I don't want one either).

Regarding the RIAA/indie label issue, it's difficult to find authoritative sources for the absolute definition of "independent" as it is mainly a matter of rough consensus of the indie community. However, increasingly RIAA membership has served as sort of the litmus test for a label's independence (I'm sure you're familiar with the RIAA Radar).

In that sense, here are some links attempting to document the consensus regarding RIAA membership:

Indie Labels join RIAA
Indie Labels Upset About Incorrect RIAA Link
Indie labels: "RIAA is NOT the whole music industry"
17+ indie labels go to RIAA

I'm willing to concede that some (perhaps many) don't agree with the anti-RIAA definition of indie, and that fact should be included in both the Epitaph and the independent record label articles. --Bk0 (Talk) 16:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

FL quest[edit]

Thank you for the FL quest on List of Oh My Goddess episodes --Cool CatTalk|@ 12:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. It's a very detailed list. You guys worked hard, I want to see it make it. -AKMask 12:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cisco[edit]

Hi, I'm new to wikipedia, so don't mind me if I'm doing things completely wrong. Anyhow, I edited the article 'cisco (wine)' recently, but you changed it back. I just wanted to let you know that the only ones I've ever seen sold around here are 18%, and also, "berry", "orange", and "Red" are all flavors I have seen first hand. There are even more flavors that I've seen also, but I didn't want to speculate... I only wrote the ones I was sure about. I thought maybe raspberry was the same as berry. So anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I believe you if you say that there is a 19.5 and 17.5 version of cisco, which I'd really like to see, but the info I added, specifically the flavors, should have been kept on the page. There is a liquor store about 30 minutes out of my town which specializes in bum wines which I'll be driving past in the next week. So I'll stop in and check up on the flavors for sure this time.

I actually hadnt noticed you added flaors into it. By all means add your 18% figure, but keep the 19% one as well. I have bottles and bottles of Cisco Peach 19%. -AKMask 14:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Black List[edit]

As you are aware, we are all listed on the [Brandt W-W black list]text in brackets changed to avoid spam blacklist -Mask . Do you think that everyone who is listed on that list should be informed (in case they don't know) so that they can avoid giving out personal information? In fact, I find it most disturbing that he has taken my quotes out of context - elsewhere in the same comments, I am praising him for finding out who wrote that stuff about Seigenthaler. BTW what's he got against Gmail? I have one of their accounts. Izehar (talk) 18:06, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not planning on revealing any info - I like being mysterious John Doe#16. Anyway, I daren't e-mail him. My e-mail address is subject to a fundamental defect - see here. Izehar (talk) 20:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look at it again after shabath. Thanks for bringing your complaint to my attention. Cheers, Tomertalk 23:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Titoxd's RfB[edit]

Hello. I wondered if you could clarify something for me. You said that Bureaucratship is nt the next logical step from Adminship. Why isn't it and what is the next step? If a user has been an Admin for a goodly long while and an editor for that same goodly long while surely they can be trusted with the powers, hereby openning up a new chapter in their WikiLives? I don't understand - do they not deserve that right through their long service to the project? --Celestianpower háblame 10:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfC against Young Zaphod[edit]

An RfC has been filed against Young Zaphod. See (and endorse) Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Young Zaphod. --Karnesky 12:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


First Family of the United States[edit]

Hey, someone redirected the entire First Family of the United States article into First Family. I just wanted to let you know, seeing as more people voted to keep it than to redirect. I'm reposting it. History21 16:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)History21[reply]

Argox[edit]

Thank you for your comments on Argox's AfD page. Ruby has been wikistalking me, and it's very annoying. For instance, DAP Technologies and Virtutech. I don't exactly know how to deal with this problem. Jehochman 18:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD for Acellus[edit]

I know you're just being humourous, but your vote isn't really clear and may be mistaken for a keep vote. There is a cople of sockpuppets already and your vote could actually turn into lack of consensus - which defaults to keep. Please consider revising your vote. Ifnord 18:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Out the road article.[edit]

===>Thanks Sometimes I get too ahead of myself on "new page patrol" and you were right. -Justin (koavf), talk 22:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The awards ceremony image has been removed and I'd appreciate it if you reanalyzed your vote. However, the chart graph remains. —Eternal Equinox | talk 15:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Welcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject! I see you are just getting started in helping with tropical cyclone articles, and us at the project are happy you joined. There are numerous ongoing projects, including greatly improving the retired hurricane/typhoon articles or finishing a database encompassing tropical cyclone seasons in every basin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or at our headquarters. Have fun, and see you around.

Re: Messier[edit]

Well, Messier played junior 'A' in my hometown for my favourite team, he was a great two-way forward, he was a terrific leader, he could score with the best of them and I'm surprised he never won a Selke trophy (they've always had a thing against giving it to top scorers)...I have to support him! Lord Bob 01:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

St. Albert, Alberta. Messier played with the Spruce Grove Mets and the St. Albert Saints when they moved during his junior 'A' career. Lord Bob 01:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you explain me why the article Huerta should redirect to Murcia instead of provide a propper definition? --Edmont 16:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your vote[edit]

Hey, we have made a lot of improvements on the Hinduism article that you voted for removal in FARC.1 I would urge you to take a look at it again and hopefully change your vote or offer suggestions for further improvement. Thanks for your help. (Blacksun 00:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Classic Rock[edit]

I've updated my Classic Rock List with your songs. You might find that some of your votes aren't present. If that is so it is because I felt that those songs weren't truly classic rock.

(crossposted on my talk page and yours for ease of following)
Perhaps you may wish to look at WP:AfD#How_to_list_multiple_related_pages_for_deletion where it's explained as part of AfD procedure before you say it is a bad practice. -Mask 20:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the fact is it hasnt even been one week since I recreated those articles. You went ahead for mass deletion without even discussing it. Frankly I find that rude. --Cool CatTalk|@ 22:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There was a previous AfD that mandated returning many of the ship class articles back into the list. You should have checked the history before recreating.Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hokule'a class starship covers that class plus a number of others. Frankly, disregarding previous AfD's is what I find rude.-Mask 22:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting point. I will remeber this incident and I can assure you the memories are not pleasant. I see this as a continunation of the censor of fiction and pop culture on wikipedia. --Cool CatTalk|@ 02:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for voting on my RfA. It passed with a consensus to promote of 45/7/1. To those of you concerned about the fact that I am a relative newcomer, I encourage you to poke me with a sharp stick if I make a mistake.

I have no problem with a short summary. However the page is already very long, so I'd prefer them to be short. AlistairMcMillan 01:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed.

Userbox deletion vote[edit]

I don't appreciate being told what I 'may' and 'may not' remove. Try being more diplomatic in your wording and please assume good faith. I was removing comments that could be construed as offensive because they do not positively contribute to the discussion, I wasn't vandalizing. Look and think. Thanks. — natha(?)nrdotcom (TCW) 22:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if my wording was less then diplomatic, but you 'may not' do those things per the rules. I'll couch it better next time... I end up doing so many little reverts throughout the day that I dont really put too much thought into those messages. -Mask 22:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You recently voted oppose for this article's request to become a featured list. The main or sole reason behind your choice to oppose was that there were many red links on the article. This was in the process of being attended to by Metropolitan well before I nominated this article for FL status, so I apologize that the article was not ready to become an FL as of then. Now, though, all but a few red links have been replaced by blue links.

For the time being, your oppose vote has been stricken out because your reason for opposing has been attended to. If you still believe this article should not become a featured list, please de-strike your comment and state a new reason. If you think that because of the lack of red links, it now deserves a support vote, kindly note that below your original vote and write "support". Thank you for your vote on that page.

Thurrock Paranormal[edit]

Dear 'AKMask', Would you please try to be a little easier on the creators of Thurrock Paranormal, users here overly criticising them and their site is doing Wikipedia a disservice and has resulted in some long term members loosing faith in the community here.

Just saw your userbox that you put up. It'll probably be speedied, but just so you know: The US is not under the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice. They are not entitled to rule on American actions, so no case against those Americans pictured would be brought forth. Blair, on the other hand, since Britain agreed to be under the Court's jurisdiction, could. See the jurisdiction secion on the ICJ page. -Mask 01:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are probably thinking about the International Criminal Court. The International Court of Justice has jurisdiction over all countries. And the ICC, too, has, as long as crimes were committed in a country that signed the Statute of Rome. That is why the US was trying to get an exemption from the ICC but failed after the war had started. Bush can be tried in the US as breaking the UN Charter is a crime there, too. ROGNNTUDJUU! 08:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The ICJ page states that the US pulled out in the mid-80's. There are a few other countries who pick and choose where it has jurisdiction (Austrailia doesn't let it rule over maritime boundaries, for example) -Mask 14:51, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Please stop deleting the Wikipedia:Wikiethics page. Deletion of some section is considered to be vandalism. Resid Gulerdem 00:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He did not "delete the [..] page"; he edited out some text. Vandalism does not, as I've said on your talk page, equate to "changes I don't like." --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 01:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
my reasons were clearly spelled out. Do not violate WP:OWN. -Mask 00:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion pages are for discussion. Please refer to WP:VANDAL blanking section. Reverting vandalism doesnt count as violation of 3RR. Resid Gulerdem 00:48, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
They were not vandal edits. You have been reported to an administrator, and if you continue will be writtin up on AN/I. -Mask 00:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You look like a fool Resid, your not an admin, cant block me, and I never vandalized, so those are inappropriate. -Mask 01:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. Naconkantari e|t||c|m 00:53, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider your opinion on this article. Just having a imdb entry doesn't make someone notable enough for an encyclopedia entry. Two of the parts are just uncredited extras and the veracity of the film in which he stars is highly doubtful. Arniep 01:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Vandalism" warnings removed[edit]

I have removed the vandalism warnings added by User:Rgulerdem, since it is clear the changes in question did not fall under the purview of vandalism. I have, however, left his more verbose messages above for context. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 01:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found this proposed policy, and I really like the way it's starting to shape up. I've made some spelling changes and whatnot, but no substance additions yet. I believe if this policy continues developing in an acceptable manner it could become accepted by the community. Any specific help you might want on it? -Mask 15:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, for one we need spesific examples of what can be considered "infestation".
Greek/Macedonian conflict over the naiming of Republic of Macedonia may be a good example.
I prefer not to present conflicts (I am biased in conflicts I am involved with after all) I was a part of as examples but I do not mind you presenting them.

Stalking/Water Under the Bridge[edit]

It has been forever and frankly I had forgotten about the hole incident regarding you. I feel now is the right time to set the record straight as you deserve no less.

Incivil behaviour is inexcusable and the way I treated you was less than civil. It was and still is indignified and unacceptable. I caused you unnecesary stress. I have been dealing with people who had been inflicting stress on me since day one and to realise that I have been no better than them...

You have to understand I have been quite jumpy since the disappearance of davenbelle and MARMOT incident. Perhaps I became a bit paranoid as well. This however does not justify my actions.

Hence, I expect you to be less than satisfied with an apology as my actions were way out of line. You have my most sincere apologies if they mean anything to you after our encounter.

--Cat out 21:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No worries at all. You were subjected to some pretty intense harrassment yourself, which is very easy to understand. I'm an incredibly easy-going guy as you'll probably notice and many times assume good faith to the point of it being a fault.

Article formatting[edit]

Dear Tropical cyclone editor,

As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.

  1. Infobox- Whenever possible, the infobox should have a picture for the tropical cyclone. The picture can be any uploaded picture about the storm, though ideally it should be a satellite shot of the system. If that is not available, damage pictures, either during the storm or after the storm, are suitable. In the area that says Formed, indicate the date on which the storm first developed into a tropical depression. In the area that says Dissipated, indicate the date on which the storm lost its tropical characteristics. This includes when the storm became extratropical, or if it dissipated. If the storm dissipated and reformed, include the original start date and the final end date. Highest winds should be the local unit of measurement for speed (mph in non-metric countries, km/h in metric countries), with the other unit in parenthesis. The lowest pressure should be in mbars. Damages should, when available, be in the year of impact, then the present year. The unit of currency can be at your discretion, though typically it should be in USD. Fatalities indicate direct deaths first, then indirect deaths. Areas affected should only be major areas of impact. Specific islands or cities should only be mentioned if majority of the cyclone's effects occurred there.
  2. Intro- The intro for every article should be, at a minimum, 2 paragraphs. For more impacting hurricanes, it should be 3. The first should describe the storm in general, including a link to the seasonal article, its number in the season, and other statistics. The second should include a brief storm history, while the third should be impact.
  3. Storm history- The storm history should be a decent length, relatively proportional to the longevity of the storm. Generally speaking, the first paragraph should be the origins of the storm, leading to the system reaching tropical storm status. The second should be the storm reaching its peak. The third should be post-peak until landfall and dissipation. This section is very flexible, depending on meteorological conditions, but it should generally be around 3. Storm histories can be longer than three paragraphs, though they should be less than five. Anything more becomes excessive. Remember, all storm impacts, preparations, and records can go elsewhere. Additional pictures are useful here. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its peak, use a landfall picture in the storm history. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its landfall, use the peak. If the landfall is its peak, use a secondary peak, or even a random point in the storm's history.
  4. Preparations- The preparations section can be any length, depending on the amount of preparations taken by people for the storm. Hurricane watches and warnings need to be mentioned here, as well as the number of people evacuated from the coast. Include numbers of shelters, and other info you can find on how people prepared for the storm.
  5. Impact- For landfalling storms, the impact section should be the majority of the article. First, if the storm caused deaths in multiple areas, a death table would work well in the top level impact section. A paragraph of the general effects of the storm is also needed. After the intro paragraph, impact should be broken up by each major area. It depends on the information, but sections should be at least one paragraph, if not more. In the major impact areas, the first paragraph should be devoted to meteorological statistics, including rainfall totals, peak wind gusts on land, storm surge, wave heights, beach erosion, and tornadoes. The second should be actual damage. Possible additional paragraphs could be detailed information on crop damage or specifics. Death and damage tolls should be at the end. Pictures are needed, as well. Ideally, there would be at least one picture for each sub-section in the impact, though this sometimes can't happen. For storms that impact the United States or United States territories, this site can be used for rainfall data, including an image of rainfall totals.
  6. Aftermath- The aftermath section should describe foreign aid, national aid, reconstruction, short-term and long-term environmental effects, and disease. Also, the storm's retirement information, whether it happened or not, should be mentioned here.
  7. Records- This is optional, but can't hurt to be included.
  8. Other- The ideal article should have inline sourcing, with the {{cite web}} formatting being preferable. Always double check your writing and make sure it makes sense.

Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.
