Do I get the impression you've a fair grasp of this already? :) Anyway, hope the links come in handy, and welcome! .. dave souza, talk 20:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, the impression is correct. I have dabbled a bit in the sand and messed with some templates. Thanks for the welcome message though. Baegis 20:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Best not to taunt the moleton. For a start it's a bad idea to feed trolls, if irresistible at times, and as you'll have noted my suspicion is that he's experimenting on WP to write up a paper about online communities, or to write some balderdash for his blog. Anyway, plenty of more productive things needing done! ... dave souza, talk 20:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

But it is sorta fun in the taboo wrong sorta way. But I agree, more productive things need be accomplished. Baegis 20:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion

To help you in your aims as expressed on your User page, you may wish to take User:Moulton off your watch list. Nothing there to do but break your resolution. Please let me know if you need a 12-step program or any other assistance. KillerChihuahua^?!? 11:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

As I understand it

He has the right to blank his user and user talk pages unless he's been banned or under some form of Arbcom or community ruling, which is not the case here. Removing tags and warnings from regular editors shows a lack of regard for the community, but removing those of admins can be viewed as a demonstration of disruptive behavior. Both can be used as evidence of lack of regard for community input and disruptive behavior if there's ever a WP:RFC, WP:RFAR or community ban discussion. My thinking is add or restore the tag/warnings once or twice then leave it others and let the rest of the community decide to act or not. Either way we have evidence for whatever next steps are taken if he continues to disrupt Wikipedia. Odd nature 23:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Somalia is changing slowly, but it is changing.

Thanks for the welcome

Indeed one should provide sources for the information they use. But unfortunately the references like the CIA fact book and IMF are not so speedy in updating their information pages. Also I thought it would be inaccurate to keep the failed state status up, seen as Somalia has a government, even though it's a single party democracy. I agree Somalia needs few more years of peace and development, in order to return to the international data books and community as not a failed state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edd34 (talk • contribs) 16:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Roberto Clemente

All I did was add spaces between commas, and hit save. Why would the paragraph repeat itself? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.127.51.82 (talk) 01:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the praise on revising the article- I needed a break from the Ottoman Empire for a while, and looking up Pirate greats was my choice. It just looks better in order... :) Monsieurdl 12:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
