Green Bay

Thank You for the suggestion. I'll try and fix it. I'm not really sure how this all works yet, so if you can help me out it would be much appriciated.

Revert

Why did you revert my addition of {{cleanup}} , and call it vandalism? [1] KnowledgeOfSelf 05:45, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Oops. Sorry-I was doing manual reverts and must have gotten mixed up. -Nick 00:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Sig

Go to "my preferences" (you should see "Schwnj my talk my preferences my watchlist my contributions log out" in the upper right), and alter what it shows in the "signature" field on that page. What it says in mine (obviously w/o nowiki tags) is

[[User:TShilo12|Tom]]<font color="#008000">[[Wikipedia:Esperanza|e]]</font>[[User:TShilo12|r]][[User talk:TShilo12|<sup style="font-variant: small-caps; color: #129dbc!important;">talk</sup>]]

...if you need help with the HTML, lemme know. Cheers, Tomer^talk 01:39, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I know. I rock.  :-D It looks good.  :-) Don't hesitate to let me know if you need help w/ anything else in the future. :-) Tomer^talk 02:51, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Milwaukee

Hi Nick. I'm RyanGerbil10, and I wrote the paragraph you recently removed from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin article. Having read the article in its current state, it doesn't mention several important things. I don't live there anymore, but I visit frequently, and crime, racial tension, and the police fill the front page nearly every day on the Journal. I think the reader should get a sense of these things when reading the Milwaukee article, as they are very pertinent. Granted, these negative issues are not the whole of everything the reader should take away from the article, but I feel we are doing readers a disservice if they don't at least hear about the tension, which is still going on, and many people, even in the suburbs, are quick to talk about it. I'm not going to put the paragraph back in, but I do look forward to hearing your opinion on how we could address the topics, touchy as they are. Please comment on my talk page soon, if possible. Thanks, RyanGerbil10 05:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying things. I'll get to work on such a section later today, but I'm at school at the moment and the period ends soon. When I'm done, let me know what you think. Thanks, RyanGerbil10 12:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I added a lot of info back into the article, this time at the end of the history section. It may be a bit POV, so feel free to edit it or move it to another section if it seems appropriate. RyanGerbil10 21:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Doctor of Philosophy – revert

Hi! Sorry for the revert in that article. It was, indeed, my mistake. I should have read the changed text more carefully before removing it. Probably, I sometimes tend to be too suspicious of anonymous edits. Daniel Šebesta (talk • contribs) 18:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to VandalProof!

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Schwnj! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other moderator, or you can post a message on the discussion page. AmiDaniel (talk) 01:50, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Co-ordination?

Hi! Looks like you're enjoying VandalProof, and are putting it to good use. However, I keep bumping into you and finding that you've already reverted, which slows me up overall. I was wondering if there was any way that we could co-ordinate out efforts in order to get things done faster? Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you. --Xyrael ^T 06:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, there's no need to apologise, it's the main problem with VandalProof at the moment, in my opinion. However, it's hoped that access to the IRC channels will be integrated so that as you patrol you can chat to others. But there is certainly no schedule. Have you considered signing on to the wikipedia vandalism channels at #vandalism-en-wp and #vandalism-en-wp-2? Please feel free to ask me if you're having problems. Thanks for your prompt reply. --Xyrael ^T 06:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Images at Milwaukee, Wisconsin

It's not really an aesthetic judgement call. Unless it can be demonstrated that Image:Milwaukee historic.jpg is free for commercial use and modification, it will be deleted per Wikipedia:Fair use. As a project to create a free, reusable encyclopedia, we minimise our use of unfreely-licensed content to the extant that we can. That said, there are plenty of other free, reusable images at Commons Category:Milwaukee, Wisconsin. If none of those work, there is bound to be something licensed CC-BY or CC-BY-SA at Flickr.

The Psychology Wiki

Hey there, I noticed that you are interested in Psychology and thought you might like to hear about this...

We are working hard on the Psychology Wiki and are trying to raise awareness about it by indiscriminately spamming telling as many interested people about it as we can. We have an enormous amount of articles already, mainly copied from Wikipedia at the moment:( but the eventual aim is that it will be edited by professional and student contributors, as well as including personal experiences of users of psychology services. As such it will eventaully be a very different beast to the kind of content that Wikipedia has. Have a look at my nicely new designed Main Page, or leave a message on the talk page or on my Psychology Wiki talk page. Hope to hear from you :) Mostly Zen 02:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

St. Norbert College and the Diocese of Green Bay-

There is a directory published every year that contains information about the Roman Catholic Archdioceses and Dioceses in the United States. I think it is the National Catholic Directory. In the directory, each diocese would have the names of clergy, parishes, and other various institutions including colleges within the Diocese listed. The same can be said of St. Norbert College, being listed in the section about the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay. I did removed the sentence about St. Norbert College being in the Diocese of Green Bay after reading your comment. Many thanks-RFD 12:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Reversion on Student's t-test

Your attempted reversion wasn't correct. I reverted it to the correct one. Just thought I'd let you know. When there are vandals like that, you should go back to before they began editing, since whatever they've done is probably bad. — Chris53516 ^(Talk) 19:14, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Master Lock: R.I.P.

Almost all the jobs are gone; the company is owned by an out-of-town conglomerate; it sure fits my definition of near-defunct. Try telling any of my friends who used to work there that the company is still significant in Milwaukee; then duck. Maybe we have different perceptions; it's not worth getting into an edit war over. Here's to an assumption of good faith! --Orange Mike 03:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello from a main page regular

Recent vandal attacks on the main page where an 'interesting' picture has been snuck in via unprotected subparts of the main page have been annoying at the least - Yes it's true. It has been one or two lapses of concentration by admins who forgot to protect something that they placed on the front page templates. Admins are human, they do make mistakes. Everyone has been poked and reminded. I'm not saying that it won't happen again, but everything that should be done has.

However.

What should happen when such a vandal attacks? Within minutes someone with admin ability spots it, quietly reverts it and covers the cracks that the vandal oozed in via. The vandal is blocked, defeated and deflated, they move on.

What does happen when such a vandal attacks? Everyone, their dog, cat, hamster and rabbits swamp this talk page with "OMG!11!! I'M OFFENDED!! ARGH! ARGH! MY EYES WTF!" style messages of outrage and indignation. The vandal says "HAR HAR PWND! I EMS TEH 1337", posts several taunting messages about how good they are and revels in the afterglow of their nuclear attack.

Eventually, within minutes someone with admin ability spots it, reverts it and covers the cracks that the vandal oozed in via. The vandal is blocked and moves on with a self-satified smug smile and sticky underpants.

People. If you get all up in arms about it, you're feeding the vandal's ego. Just let it pass. It will be reverted within minutes. --Monotonehell 10:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Psychology of art

Hello.

Why did you remove the text on Michael Leyton from the "psychology of art" article? A view of your edit can be found here

I'm not a researcher in psychology of art but I did find the comments on Michael Leyton quite interesting before - so just curious why it was removed.

Thank you. Scribblesinmindscapes 17:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Aah, okay I see. Thank you for the clarification. Scribblesinmindscapes 08:34, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Removing Blue maps of the state on Talk:Arizona

Please do not remove other people's talk page comments like you did mine on Talk:Arizona! Thank you. - Patricknoddy 13:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Any images not suitable for the articles should not be instead placed on the talk page. Although you did a lot of work on your blue map, it is not something that is encylopedic, as there are plenty of maps that actually contain content, and also does not belong on the talk page. Cascadia^TALK|HISTORY 13:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I have reported this on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. - Patricknoddy 13:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes you have, and like Me and Cascadia, they said to stop uploading no-context images to talk pages. -Nick^talk 20:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Now, I am hopefully will not get mad at you. I am new and all, and you deleted my changes on Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I only made an new article for the history... Where did I go wrong? Tom70 23:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Arizona

Thanks for catching the vandalisim going on in the Arizona article. Cascadia^TALK|HISTORY 13:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Milwaukee Onion

Yes, there is a Milwaukee-specific edition of The Onion, so it does qualify as a local paper. --Orange Mike 23:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Unintential TW Vandalism Assist

Schwnj, on April 23 an anonymous apparent vandal (from 130.13.1.15) messed up a bunch of population numbers on various pages with unverifiable data (he repeated this on April 25th.) A good samaritan User:Curtis Clark went through and reverted those edits, but it looks like your TW went and undid the reverts. Any chance TW has a feature to undo the edits to Curtis Clark's mods from that day? For examples, see Maricopa County, Arizona, Yuma County, Arizona, Yuma County, Arizona. If you'd like evidence that that anonymous user is unreliable, check out some of the edits to "List of airport..." made later that same day using similar numbers in nonsense locations. Gruber76 14:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

What is the source of the 2006 figures? Your claim that they exist is the only evidence that the edits weren't vandalism.--Curtis Clark 03:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Psychology and User:Florkle

Just saw your additional replies to Florkle on the talk page. He looks like someone with all the zeal of a new convert. He must have just found radical behaviorism (or at least its wikipedia incarnation). A look at his edit history [2] shows a single-minded dedication to certain topics, which can be useful (especially in his areas of zeal), but I am worried that it could be contentious on the main psyhology page, which is meant to provide an overview, and not necessarily to defend Skinner. I am hopeful that he can become a useful member of the community, but we should try to teach him to build consensus, instead of going off angry like he seems to be doing currently on the Psychology page.

AfD

I'm sure you just haven't gotten to it yet, but in case you didn't know--if you nominate an entry for an AfD you should also notify the entry creator of the nomination. Cheers, and thanks for taking the time to nominate that entry.PelleSmith 02:03, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Biology and sexual orientation

Greetings! Thanks for passing over that article with AWB. I just wanted to caution you to take a closer look at the edits you make with AWB, especially typo fixes. AWB recognized the spelling of a references last name "Vilain" as an incorrect spelling of "villain". That's the second time someone using AWB has done that to this article. Make sure you proof your AWB-assisted edits before saving. Thanks for your time! Cheers, --Rkitko ^(talk) 06:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
