Thank you for the friendly introduticon[edit]

Thank you for your friendly greeting, Dr. Debug. I have enjoyed working some at Wikipedia prior to creating this account and will continue to enjoy doing so. Conrad Devonshire 01:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Third Opinion re. Brooklyn Tech[edit]

Will do. I'm sorry you got dragged into this mess when all you were trying to do was be friendly and welcoming to someone. I don't envy you volunteer Admins, but heaven knows that I and other responsible Wikiepedians are extremely grateful to those of you taking up a difficult voluntary role. Again, thank you. -- Tenebrae 02:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Funny Cide Cleanup tag[edit]

Howdy! I noticed you placed a cleanup tag on the Funny Cide article, which was recently created. The original page author (and still major contributor) is not sure what to make of it, and seems a bit offended by it. I have done my best to smooth things over (and make improvements to the article so it can be removed), but your assistance might be useful here. In particular, Ki Longfellow (talk · contribs) perhaps is not feeling as welcome as he might (which is unfortunate since his contributions have been great). If you'd give me a hand here, I'd much appreciate it. Be aware, his tilde key is broken and thus does not sign comments (and is still learning the ropes of finding the correct place to post comments). Most disucssion occurs on his talk page. Thanks, --Hansnesse 08:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me for butting in, I'm a newbie but even I noticed that in the Editing page their's several buttons that appear above the edit box, one of which looks like a signature and it puts the four tildas where the cursor is. So I don't see why a broken tilda key would slow anyone down. --JeffW 04:24, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The BOP[edit]

can you check The BOP - I thought it is advertising and marked it for delete but the author removed the tag.

Since then there is one link to it. Agathoclea 10:39, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marked it with {{prod}} which will probably removed as well and then it goes to AfD where there is the embarassing voting against the article. Dr Debug (Talk) 17:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks & Help[edit]

Dr Debug -- Thanks for the welcome. BTW -- I fixed all the incorrect links to Category:Carnege_Mellon_alumni. Should that category now be deleted? I didn't see how to do it. (You can go right ahead and do it if you like.) Wikiwikiwikiwikiwiki 18:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clearing and moving all the entry. Well normally you can delete a category at Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion, but I'm not sure what to do in this case, because I don't know in case of those Category redirects. I'll ask Canadagirl because she marked it for redirect so let her take care of it. Dr Debug (Talk) 18:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brent Corrigan article[edit]

Thank you for correcting my unintentional deletion. Could you tell me how or if Spheroide can be stopped from recklessly exposing Mr. Corrigan's identity? This person obviously has malice and discontent for Mr. Corrigan. I am new to Wikipedia, so if you could direct me where to file a formal complaint, I would be happy to take proper procedure in this matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Groy@san.rr.com (talkcontribs)

The problem is that it is open system, so what you could do is put a Watch on the page (that's the top left) and then all updates appear on your watchlist. What we do with these people is warn them and if they are warned several times then they can be banned, but the problem is that it is easy to add stuff like that and it is more a matter of deleting it when you see it. Dr Debug (Talk) 00:49, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is ridiculous! There is no relevance whatsoever to this article in the significance to the importance of Brent Corrigan's true identity, other than the individual or individuals who are insistent in reverting it back. They are queenly aware that if under various search engines when "Brent Corrigan" is entered under almost any context the Wikipedia entry is one of the first few results. Therefore the inclusion of his true identity only serves the purpose of jeopardizing his safety. At this time, for Mr. Corrigan’s personal safety reasons, could you please remove the identity and keep it off? If not I am requesting the entry be removed or deleted all together!

Thank you, --66.75.43.6 10:34, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Pertinent hyperlinks[edit]

thanks for the forum here. quick question how do we insert pertinent hyperlinks into a piece? OR do you do that? for instance, am trying to help the reader link to a letter written anna mae. how does that get inserted?

thanks much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antoinettenora (talkcontribs)

Let me see if I understand it correctly. You want to link a text to a site. You can do that by writing [http://www.site.com/page.html Letter by Anna Mae] and that'll appear as Letter by Anna Mae. Was that the kind of link you were looking for? Dr Debug (Talk) 02:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

edits been reverted[edit]

HI Debug,.. I had made some edits & my edits to the page were reverted today by you. Could you please tell me what I made wrong in that. as a newbie I am still trying to read & learn what ever the rules & regulations in this. I had put all legal findings & also given legal links to prove what ever I had writen in there. Thus I am still thinking what I probably would have made wrong. Anyway I saw a message about signing my page & I could not understand what it is,. Could u please let me know. Is that what I made wrong. How could I be sure that the edits I do would not be reverted & what steps do I have to take in order to make it perfect. Cause there were & are so many facts wrong in this page I edited & I will correct it with proper proof & links under the rules of wikipedea. Thnks, apreciate what you do,..looking forward for your reply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amodha (talkcontribs)

Well, it turns out that somebody else reverted your edits. I only welcomed you. Give me a moment and I'll check why they could have been reverted. I'll answer on your talk page. Dr Debug (Talk) 09:46, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thnks for your quick reply Debug,. yeah that was a mistake sorry I may have deleted it by mistake,. :-) Anyway the History & the Prehistory parts were deleted too,. I get that some one else deleted them. I'll probably talk with the guy regarding the mater & solve it out with proper proof for what I have put.Thnks for your reply,.. Thnks a bunch,. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amodha (talkcontribs)

The other user reverted which means that everything was changed back. You can try talking to the original reverter, however that is an IP and not a registered user so he may not receive the message. Dr Debug (Talk) 10:06, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah now I am starting to get how this works Thnks mate. Yes the other user who changed it has however put up a question regarding it on the talk page,. I'll explain it to him anyway. And Thnks for the reply,. I'll sign,.

UN copyright[edit]

Thanks for the advice,

One question, would I be able to help clear up the copyright problem by making a further derivative work based on the OECD work which in turn was based upon a UN work ?

Or should I try to produce a figure similar to that of the OECD, but be doing the work myself ? I would then as the creator claim (and then give the copyright away, all in less than 10 minutes after making my figure)Cadmium 17:45, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about a growing argument on the Sri Lanka page[edit]

it was strange...[edit]

I actually didn't notice who you were when I reverted...I just didn't know why you had done that. If you look at the history, you can see what happened. There is PLENTY of room around here for us do-gooders to co-exist in harmony. I really don't know why it didn't show that my edit was there already. Strange.

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for the welcome, Dr. Debug. My roommate got involved with wikipedia a few months ago and has since spent a lot of time on the site. Of course, he's also written a couple of significant articles on Greek history, one of which has been featured. Just thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and procrastinate in a useful way. Mgummess 04:51, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. Keep on procrastinating. He must be an awesome writer, because it's very hard to get an article to featured status. Dr Debug (Talk) 04:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
He is indeed. Epaminondas is the title of his article, I believe. I've added the procrastination logo to my user page. Mgummess 06:24, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

my opinion[edit]

i read amodha talk page. you said i was rude! well may have been a little rude, but the main issue is he is just copying & pasting sentences from other copyrighted sites you feel that is ok?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.247.245.143 (talkcontribs)

Please sign your message with ~~~~.
In the first paragraph I found only two sentences which were copied and pasted, however they were properly sourced as well so that is still well within Fair Use. They need to be rewritten, but that's a minor task and I see that the user is rewriting the story and rewriting the story in his own words would be a minor task and does not invalidate the additions he is willing to make. The problem IMO is the rudeness and that his entries are dismissed with arguments like spelling and copy and paste even though it appears to be verified and validated information which would be of benefit to the article.
The thing which is of concern to me and the other user is the rudeness and edit war which has started on the Sri Lanka page and that you protect the page as your own. What I see are reasonable requests for additions and somebody who is willing to compromise but who is unable to discuss the additions. Dr Debug (Talk) 07:07, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry[edit]

I was an asshole to you and you're probably a really nice guy. I shouldn't have acted as such and come asking your forgiveness for my actions. MuguGuyman 07:20, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

my opinion 2[edit]

if you compare the sri lanka article before amodha posted & after he posted you will see that i have not deleted all of his contributions i only deleted a few which not properly sourced. most of his contributions are included is the current version. i only completly deleted the section about 'dental morphological analysis' because he didnot provide any valid source(he has given a link but it has noting on what he says there). and i dont claim ownership of any article on this any other article. also he put some paras in the wrong section, i could have changed the place but i was short of time(he could have done it himself).

btw, more 40% of his lines are copied. just read his lines carefully & also see this Late Quaternary Environmental history of the Horton Plains the whole section is copied line by line from here [4]

I have abosolutly nothing against him at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.247.245.143 (talkcontribs)

i would like your opinion please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.247.245.143 (talkcontribs)
Please sign all entries on talk pages with ~~~~
It'd like to hear Amodha's opinion as well and it is not that you don't have a point, but it's the overall rudeness on both pages. You are explainig things now but I didn't the original response was a hard attack.
It appears like our new contributor has not logged in anymore and I wouldn't be surprised if he will never return and I can't blame him either. Dr Debug (Talk) 01:45, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


my opinion 3[edit]

pointout an instance were i was very rude to him?? (the way i talk may be different because i'm ill at ease with talking, but i'm never rude to anyone) don't worry he will return!
you say he was listening & willing to make amends, if you compare his first edit (were he accidently deleted the whole history section) with his all other edit you will notice that nothing really changed between them, just one or two words. please read carefully thanks. anyway i have been contributing to the SL article since 2004, and if you will kindly notice i have not reverted anyone elses edits like this! if i was possesive i could have done it before but i did not.
please read the other sections of the sri lanka article and his contributions you will see the difference. I DO WANT HIM TO CONTRIBUTE, THE ONLY THINK I'M ASKING IS FOR HIM TO FOLLOW THE SOME STANDARDS.
The only thing i want is for the sri lanka article to become a featured article on wikipedia, i'm sure you will notice the difference on that page after 2004.
the only think that i can think of for your apparent sympathy towards him is that he is a registered user and i'm not. just because i don't want to register does not mean i'm a vandal!
btw, my ip range is shared by about 10,000 people, so if you see any vandalism from that range its not me! ~~~~


P.S i think you are mistakenly thinking that all the history debate on the sri lanka talk page is between me & amodha! that is not correct only the last three sections are between me & amodha, the rest were between sombody else i & amodha had no connection with that whatsoever thanks.

Thanks for Intro and Help With Page Name[edit]

I was looking at the Operating Systems category page and the link to Master Control Program sticks out like a sore thumb. Everybody at Unisys just calls it the MCP and most of the other OSes are in their by their abbreviations. I saw in the help pages how to change the name of a link, but in a category page you don't supply the link, or rather you do, but it's from a Category link in the page to be linked to so their's no opportunity to change the name. Is there a way to do this or would I have to change the name of the page (which would be awkward as their's already a MCP page). --JeffW 04:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible, but it means changing the name of the article. So if you rename the article to "MCP (Operating system)" (because MCP is an disambuigation page) then it'll sort it by that name and MCP becomes the default title. There is only one catch and that is that you can only rename articles after four days, but in this case I would put the question on the talk page to allow the other authors to comment by which time the "Move" button will be available for your account. Dr Debug (Talk) 04:27, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've since discovered that Burroughs had three OSs named MCP for each of their large, medium, and small system classes. I've put my thoughts on what to do on the Talk:Master Control Program page. I'd appreciate your advice. --JeffW 12:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article on Agostinho da Silva[edit]

Hi!

Thank you for your welcome and your patience... Only recently I had the chance to check out the links on how to write a proper article. I know the article in question is not in very good shape but I'm trying to solve its problems.

Being portuguese, I suppose that my english is not the most correct. Sometimes it must look like I'm using portuguese grammar with english words...

I understand that verifiability is an important issue, but I've to tackle with the fact that there just isn't any information on Agostinho in english, so I must make reference to portuguese books, encyclopedia articles or websites, wich I reckon most of the en.wikipedia readers can't read... I might say that the man used to be a cook in a Thaï restaurant and place a bibliographical reference, that no one could really check it out. I heard rummours that some of his work is going to be published in english. If that is the case, I'll promptly add english references.

I'm having some trouble because of the copyright issue: Agostinho never cared much for the copyright of his books and the Association A. da Silva has the same outlook on much of the work of their associates, but I think that the Publishers might not be as generous, and I'm yet to find wich part of his work can be used without breaking both copyright laws and Wikipedia policies. The quotations included until now are "safe", though.

On Agostinho's quotes, there's an additional difficulty: he wrote in a very casual and colloquial way mixed with an old fashioned streak (he was a classically educated intellectual born in the begginning of last century), wich means that much of his text consists of long sentences jamming many ideas in a somewhat untidy fashion. My translation into english may sound a bit awkward at times...

Once again thank you.

Regards,

João.

P.S. - I'll probably forget to check out this link again, so would you please answer me back (if there is any answer) to my talkpage? Joao Mesquita 16:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check out the talk page for brassiere. At the bottom of the page, Alkivar went ape on everyone.

I checked out his talk page, and apparently, there are several people who would like for him to tone it down a little. Wind of Wisdom 18:25, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JULIE Thanks for sending the information on the late, great Ken Skinner Sr. I never met the man, but his son, Ken Skinner Jr., has become a regular on my show, JAZZ IN THE CITY, Saturday (6-8pm). His nickname is The Vinyl Hunter, and his knowledge of vintage jazz is mind boggling. He's told stories about his father on air. When I see Ken tomorrow I will ask how I can help if an event is happening. I'll also speak with Joe Sealy when he is in later this week.

Hello Julie, I'm very sorry to hear about Ken. Thanks for letting me know. Please keep me informed. Best regards, Bill Mulhull

Here is some info.

On three occasions I had the privilege of conversing, performing and munching dessert with Ken. During that time I found him to be insprational and friendly. We talked about music, musicians and his playing years in Montreal. Ken had a thorough knowledge of music in general and Jazz in particular. His ability to interpret on piano the music of Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Thelonius Monk and many other great composers and stylists was a delight to musicians and audiences alike. He said that Oscar Peterson was his favourite. Ken was skilled as an accompanist for singers and instrumentalists alike. He was one who encouraged you to perform well and complimented you on a good effort. Despite severe handicaps He seemed not to complain. Ken was an example for all. He also knew a good apple pie when he saw one.

Re: Empty categories for redirect[edit]

I'm not sure what to do about these redirects. My normal sandard is that if there is an obvious typo, then the category should be deleted, but if it contains a more common variant spelling (that others in the future may try), then I put a redirect on it. Also, you can leave messages for me on this account as well. As I stated, it's a role account, not a bot. Sort of like a sock puppet, but without all the bad uses.

Name change proposal[edit]

I was asked to participate in this vote proposed by User:RWR8189 and looked up his or her talk page. All I could find was your request not to blank articles. This user is now proposing to change an article name, marshalling arguments that appear to be unsupported. You might want to weigh in on the renaming.

My RfA[edit]

Thank you!
Thank you!
Hi Dr Debug/archive3. On behalf of my right eye, I'd like to thank you for giving me your support on my recent RfA. It ended with a final tally of (73/2/2) and therefore I have been installed as an administrator now, and I'm ready to serve Wikipedians all over the world with my newly acquired mop and bucket. If you have any questions, do not hestitate to forward them to my talkpage. Once again, thanks for your support. SoothingR 20:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

please delete or temporarily suspend "Brent Corrigan"[edit]

Dr. Debug, I am requesting that you or someone with Wikipedia please delete or at least temporarily suspend the "Brent Corrigan" entry? It is painfully obvious that Cobra supporters and mostly likely Bryan himself is the one responsible for the completely unnecessary inclusion of Brent's private identity. There is no valid reason for the display other than to potentially cause him harm. This man (Bryan) is convicted felon. He is a sexual predator of underage boys! He should not be allowed to use this highly public resource to attack, destroy and potentially expose their safety. --66.75.43.6 21:26, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Haley pages[edit]

I'm not sure how to proceed regarding the Bill Haley pages. There is no doubt as to SK's enthusiasm for the subject matter, but I'm concerned that he's going a bit OTT on the talk pages, essentially turning them into huge discography pages complete with images. (I don't know if you've been keeping an eye on them, but take a look at Talk: Bill Haley. I've been too busy with work to deal with this over the last couple of weeks, but he's uploading images now and the talk pages are actually bigger than their parent articles and I'm afraid that might catch the wrong sort of attention. That said, some of the information he's posting is coming from dubious or outdated sources, so I'd rather it be on the talk page than the main article, anyway. On the other hand, I don't want to "bite the newbie" either and I already feel a little guilty about reverting some of his main article changes that were incorrect. Any opinion on how to proceed? 23skidoo 16:53, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bugging you for help on Shotokan[edit]

Thanks for the friendly welcome on my talk page. I could use some help on Shotokan; I've worked with other users to change my addition (which they just keep deleting rather than modifying) and what I propose now is on my talk page, which answers their objections, but they've dug in their heels due to pettiness. Could you type any answer on my talk page? Thanks. Cap j 21:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I need a little help...[edit]

Hi, I am Northmeister and your welcoming message appeared on my new user page about two months ago. I am requesting some help with a few problems I have encountered since arriving. Could you read my user page (biography) and then the pages I edited (namely American System (economics)) and those I have tried to defend others on and see what you think about what has happened. I got the harsh treatment almost from the start. I was unsure why at first but learned over time. You may well know SlimVirgin, Will Beback, Cberlet, etc. who are the editors I am having problems with. Recently SlimVirgin reverted days of work of a mediator who tried to help out in a mediation case I filed to try to resolve the disputes and problems I saw. He issued his verdict (Twrigley) and this editor (SlimVirgin) responded by reverting all his work and disrupting the article he was working on, this and the treatment he received caused him to say he was leaving. He is a good guy who tried to help. It is unfortunate what is happening. I personally do not like McCarthy like tactics and it seems the above editors are using such tactics and it is wrong. I need your help in mediation or in advice for me on this. I really feel like leaving. I had hoped to contribute to history related subjects which my college degree is in, but have had my attention turned to defending innocent bystanders like Twrigley and others who were charged like McCarthy use to do. Help, I need it. --Northmeister 04:57, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism User 195.93.60.74 & 195.93.60.72[edit]

Hi Dr Debug,

Just wanted to bring to your attention this user 195.93.60.72[5] & 195.93.60.74 [6], who more then likely are the same person, has been wrongly categorizing numerous articles of people under the Albanian category when there is no source which proves these claims as being true. He/she keeps changes George Tenet into Albanian-American when the guy has never claimed himself as Albanian and Sinan as Albanian origins but the links to prove such a claim have Sinan as either being of Greek or Armenian origins. I keep correcting the articles and he/she keeps falsifying them. Is there anyway to stop him/her from keep doing this? Thank you in advance. ~Mallaccaos, 5 May 2006

George Bush edits to the Constitution need to be reverted[edit]

I am new to WIkopedia, and I fear not very skilled in it yet.

I LOVE your little pic of the chimp and the comment about "Bush edits to the Constitution need to be reverted." Can you please tell me how to do this? I should find another word, other than chimp. Comparing Bush to a chimp is an insult to chimps.molly bloom 05:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Madrid 11-M 2004[edit]

I am trying to fit 11-M, Equatorial Guinea, Repsol-Oscar Fanjul-Marsh/Kroll in there

...ehrrrr, I have a good knowledge of the spanish 11-M "conspiracionist" (read "realist") scene: Different websites, different theories, different ideas about the 11-M. Well, I have never seen a link linking Guinea or Repsol with the 11-M. I am sorry. Randroide 19:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, a coup de étát made by private operators. No one spoke about that idea in Spain.

...so the point is whether you have links about the people who have connections with Spanish intelligence (you are talking 36 out of 40 as well) and maybe to Marsh / Kroll or any of their subsidiaries or mercenaries. Especially if there are stories about mercenary teams and what companies they work for.

No. AFAIK no one in the "conspiracionist" community gives any detail about the real perpetrators of the bombing. They only talk about "french intelligence", "moroccan intelligence", "spanish intelligence rotten appe¡les"...

Another team of patsies is part of their cover up story and they are usually drug dealers in reality, because drugs is a major part of their own operations and they are the standard patsies in 9/11, 7/7

Most of the people indicted in the M-11 documents are/were small drug dealers.

I I should tell you something else: The "conspiracionist" community alwayls talks about the accuracy of the 11-M bombings contrasting with the mess of the post11-M false proofs.Randroide 19:59, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I thought you could have an interest in this: 11 March 2004 Madrid train bombings#Alleged Smoking gun against the Official Version.

If you are interested, please be watchful on the article, because the spanish thought police (pro-official version wikipedians) is trying to launch a beachhead in the english wikipedia.Randroide 13:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you very much for your great job[edit]

The tables you pasted on my userpage are precious for me...I am grasping now why so many spanish speaking wikipedias "vote with their feet" and go to the english Wikipedia: Rules are really enforced here. The spanish Wikipedia is the Far West in comparison.

Please, correct me if I am wrong: So, if there is a good reason, simple users (neighbourghood watch, so to speak, i.e., ME) can paste those templates on the userpages of vandals?...and call to the police (administrators) if the vandal goes beyond the "Last warning".

Then, the administrator checks the validity of the accusation and takes proper action, sometimes against the alleged vandal...and (I suppose) sometimes against the guy who placed the templates in case he/she had not a proper reason to do so.

Cheers, and thank you very much.Randroide 11:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tactical pawn[edit]

I encourage you to do it yourself. You can probably get one on http://www.libertaddigital.com/bitacora/enigmas11m/ (blog) or http://11m.fondodocumental.com/a/ (forum). The forum may be better, as it has a section for foreign languages.

A ping on my discussion on reply is appreciated.

  Hi! We're at the English Wikipedia (at the Spanish one 
are having some trouble too) trying to sort out a good 
article about what passed on 11-M. There is very (far too) little 
information in English about 11-M, and en.wikipedia.org seem to be 
now the #1 resource.
                                                                     .
  Can any pawn help us in deciding which information is relevant and
citing and referencing the information? Your interpretation of your

   Trying to know the truth, Platonides


I trust you more on getting PV help, as you're a complete outsider on the subject. Oh, well, you did a theory... Well, you can present yourself with it ;)
Not so long it has been discussed about pretending to be Al Qaeda pretending to be ETA pretending to be Al Qaeda so you're not so fantastic :D :D :D (what are proxy wars? sending army through an ssh-tunnel?)
Platonides 21:52, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am a bit confuised about your answer. Too early for what theory? If you're talking about the pawns tehy seem to have limited to show contradictions but have no formal theory. If you're talking about Al-Qaeda pretending to be ETA pretending to be Al Qaeda, it was a conflict because i point an indication of Al Qaeda authory (the date being eleven) could have easily been chosen from another group who were trying to make the bombings islamic. It was argumented it could be Al Qaeda pretending to be ETA pretending....
I personally think it higly improbable. The bombings were made thinking on the 14-M elections. It was time enough to convince they told us it's ETA, but they're islamic, they lie! people enough. It could be done thanks to the big group PRISA. There's no time to show it's not ETA (it's the first thing though by any spanish on a bombing... at least before March 2004), and then show it's not Al Qaeda but ETA again. This kind of subtleties are only for the judges on long judgments.
If i understood well, a proxy war is an unnecessary war made to strength a country, or several countries.
I start to catch your false flag team idea. Some foregin group tried to made a bombing pretending to be another group, but they pretended to be Al Qaeda instead of ETA. Maybe. But keep in mind the political party. If it was ETA, the party in power won the elections. If it was Al Qaeda, the opposition (which had the elections lost even by the polls they made) could win, accusing PP of Iraqui war.
Could it be some goverment/group which disliked PP goverment? Trying to alone EEUU as Spain supported them ? In fact, it seems the PSOE gov has only improved the relationship with Cuba, Venezuela... Countries kind of dictatorial, so it could plan such kind of action. But in Spain we think first on those which are next to us. ETA has been highly beneficed of this new gov. While PP campaign bet for more police actions and ETA detentions, PSOE is now dialogating with the gang. ETA says they have talked and have some agreement, but officially they're supposed to not being joined but once to ask Batasuna being legalized. A judge asked for a report of it (the meeting was denounced of being illegal), but as it was a closed-door meeting, police didn't presented it! As you can imagine linking ETA with the bombings seems quite logical: look at the one who benefits the crime
Another questions, could that foreign groups manipulate police actions? Change proves, add evidences when the Kangoo is already police cutodied, type of explosive reports, and so on... ?

Chamartin[edit]

I saw you redirected "Chamartín" to "Chamartín Station". Chamartín is an area in Madrid that does contain Chamartín Station, but is much broader than that - so it's better that Chamartín (the area) and Chamartín (the station) remain separate articles. Please comment if you think otherwise.--RiseRover|talk 08:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I made the redirect because there was no Chamartin at all. If you can make a stub, it'll be fine again :) Dr Debug (Talk) 13:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If by tracklist, you mean tour date section... you're welcome.

I would also encourage anyone reading this to add tour dates to all music articles. Weather the musicians are living or dead too. I know many that would love a tour date listing of Grateful Dead shows or Jimi Hendrix shows as a reference.

And, to Dr. Debug here, thank you for removing that Javascript.
