You've been contributing on LoPbN, and might want to participate on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people by name (2nd nomination). The vote went as Del-ward as 8 Del / 2 Keep, and now stands at 12 Del / 11 Keep. I hope for a clear consensus to keep, and would appreciate it, if you care to weigh in. Thanks in any case, and happy holidays.

I don't know whether you know (and maybe I should have brought it up sooner) but Esperanza has been "deleted" as a result of this MfD. It may affect your userboxes in due course. I wasn't a member so was not aware of any problems, but it makes interesting reading. Looks like they are going to keep several of the associated projects, though.

I recently found that the Jesus article on Wikipedia is the first item that comes up when you search for "Jesus" on the world’s most widely used search engine, Google.
Please edit the Jesus article to make it an accurate and excellent representation of Him.
The Jesus article may be a person’s first impression of Jesus. It would be nice if their first impression was from a Christian or the Bible, but for so many in these new days it probably comes from the Internet. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thanks a lot.
Also, watch out to follow Wikipedia's Policies and guidelines. It is especially hard for the Three-revert rule and the Neutral point of view policy to be followed because of the nature of the article, but please follow these policies along with citing sources so that the article does not get locked from editing and can't be improved further. Thanks again. Scifiintel 17:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I inserted a useful link on comparison of different DTH players in India in the 'External links' section which another user has been reverting continously or changing it with another link calling it vandalism. My purpose is simply to enhance the usefulness of the article with a useful link for other readers that I found on a blog.
I was tracking the article to ensure that he does not revert/change my external links everytime. He did it again and when I reverted back his edit, you have reverted it back to his version calling my edit a spam/vandalism. Why is it so? Thanks for your kind attention. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.184.185.45 (talk) 17:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Yeah, I was wondering about that, I'm ashamed to say it took me a very, very long time to figure out how to do it - until I saw Template:Douglas airliners under the "See also" heading of the aircontent thing and went "d'oh!". :-) Now that I know how to do it I'll work on fixing 'em as they turn up. Also just added Template:Douglas aircraft to the X-3 Stiletto, so that's done (for now, anyway) - whew! Need to add the D-558-1 and D-558-2 to the X-planes template but that's a job for after lunch. :-) - Aerobird 16:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chris, thanks for the note on the Franklin, VA page. I am one of a handful of editors correcting over 2000 ISBN errors. The one in question comes up as short, not incorrect. Many isbn's show up that way. We have been correcting these so that a system robot can them convert them to the new 13 digit isbn's. I would appreciate your efforts to locate the proper 10 digit number. You can edit it in or give it to me and I'll load it. The bot that found the error in the first place, SMACKbot, left a template so citing the error. Once you fix the error, the template needs to be removed along with the "Cannot locate" statement. Then the error flag will go away. I am using some fairly powerful resources and could not locate the isbn. I did find OCLC codes. As a last resort, we probably would have dropped the bad ISBN and loaded the OCLC #. Thanks for the msg.Ekotkie 21:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I took a look at his contributions. My take is they probably are generally good faith, but a lot of them are extremely ill advised. The message to Jimmy Wales' talk page and the repeated edits to the Template:Wdefcon are particularly unfortunate. I can see why any admin would consider this malicious. I would likely have blocked him for disruption, though perhaps not indefinitely.
The best way forward would be a polite email to user:Winhunter, the blocking admin. If you, or another editor, were willing to mentor Fattdoggy and ensure he doesn't make similar mistakes in the future, I believe this would be help. If you do take this on, be aware that you would be to some extent accountable for Fattdoggy's edits, so you need to be sure that you want to take that on and that Fattdoggy agrees. Good luck, Gwernol 00:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, according to Amazon (ASIN B000JF398Q, ASIN B0007395WY , ASIN B000J9Y6L6) it is published by Southampton County Historical Society, Southampton County Historical Society, and Wiliam Byrd Press respectivly. The same goes for Abebooks. I would suspect that Southampton County Historical Society is the publishers and WBP the printers. As for the ISBN, 87-063258 is clearly not one. Possibly, if this was part of a series it may be an ISSN - ISSN 8706-3258. It is also possible that the book was published by two organisations simultaneously. Would you be able to examine the book again? Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 14:05 13 January 2007 (GMT).

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.
In the case of your new stub type, it appears to be a reasonable split IMO, but standard naming would be for aviation-term-stub, not aviation-terminology-stub. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there aabout its creation. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 23:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
By the way, i have moved the template ((Aviation-terminology-stub)) to ((Aviation-term-stub)), changed all of the articles tagged with the previous to the latter. I am not familiar with what needs to be done to delete the old stub type. Does it qualify for speedy deletion or does it need to go through a formal stub type for deletion?
Hello, Chris. I would like to know on what basis you gave DO-254 low importance. Do you know it's the standard used for development of most avionics in (non-military) aircrafts today? I think it deserves at least a "mid" importance. The similar topic DO-178B, which is for software in aircrafts, should probably have the same importance as DO-254. Keep up your great work!

I have removed your PD template from this article. Your reason for deleting it seemed condense to me, and I don't really understand why you think the article is "Not a product comparison" (quote from memory, please correct if it's very wrong). It contains a fair amount of tables comparing features amongst different IRC clients, most if not all of which have their own Wikipedia articles, and are well known and used by thousands of people in a lot of cases (notably MIRC, X-Chat and Irssi). So I don't really see how the page is original research, or self-promotion (as it is a comparison with only factual information listed). I apologize in advance for not being a frequent visitor (even though I have a user account), so it may take some time for me to reply to you here or on the article's talk page (wherever you feel fit to continue discussion if you deem that necessary).

Hi Chris,
While editing the Short Seamew specifications I have come across something that may need to be catered for: height/width for carrier aircraft with wings folded for storage. I have added these two specs to the Seamew by interposing a "* line"; this looks sort of ok but messes up the preceding entry: the closing round bracket of the alt-dimension comes after the interposed line in both cases. Is there a clean way of inserting such lines into the template without messing it up? Many thanks. TraceyR 20:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. As to your proposal to delete the JSBSim article due to it being a "Not notable open source project". I beg to differ (of course, I am biased :). JSBSim is the default flight model for FlightGear, has been recently incorporated into the OpenEaagles framework, and is used around the world by students and industry. It is perhaps the only open source flight model library, and was the first to use XML to describe aircraft models for flight simulation. The chief architect (that would be me) has spent the past 10 years coordinating an international group of developers on the project. Developing advanced flight simulations for space launch vehicles and doing ascent trajectory analysis is also my "day job".
If you could be more specific as to how you would like to see the article improved, I might be able to make time to do that. If you have other questions about JSBSim, feel free to ask me. You can reach me at jon *at* jsbsim.spamblock.org. Obviously, remove the ".spamblock". --Jonsberndt 05:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on my RFA. As of now, I do not care about the outcome of it, I did not even ask to be nominated. I however would like to clear up a misunderstanding. I at no point claim that I plan on using reversion tools to handle content disputes. I made a mistake on RC patrol, and reverted a good faith edit as vandalism. That is what I am claiming will happen again in the future. I am human and I make mikstakes. If I were to say, "I will never accidently revert a good faith edit as vandalism again," as good as it would make me sound, I would be lying to myself and everybody else. If that makes me unfit to be an administrator, that I will have no problem withdrawing my RFA. To be honest, I am a little frustrated with it currently because it seems like a vote. So many, Supports per nom. I think those are people just perusing RFA's and going with the flow. I have much more respect for Oppose nominations (especially ones with a good explanation as to why, such as yours). You are an administrator that I have seen around alot, and have respect for. Do you personally reccomend that I withdraw my RFA, due to thisRC patrol mistake?. If you honsetly believe that it shows I am not worthy to be an administrator, I respect that opinion much more than the torrent of empty Supports. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Akradecki, in reference to your comment--obviously you think your way is the only way, and anyone elses does not matter and does not count. With that attitude, I think it violates working out to an argreement. I already stated why I believe the P-51 photograph should be left. The context of the subject matter. Is the P-51 used in airshows? Sure, but when was it made and when did it see military action for what it was designed to do? Used a military fighting aircraft in the skies of World War II, not paraded as an antique relic of a goneby era. Obviously you tend to think this matter is a closed and done deal discussion. Since you decided to change the photograph with a disucssion or dialogue of the matter, and the excuse that the photograph that was previously on the page was of "poor" quality. Is a poor judgement and reason for changing it. So who is right? Obivously you think you are, and vice versa.
In reference to the B-36 photograph, I've already made comments on the dicusssion page. Just a FYI, the United States Air Force owns and operates that museum. The photograph I provided is of better quality and better representation of the aircraft in lieu of Rogerd's photograph which he provided.
1. The image is at an angle
2. There is a spectator of the musem in the image
3. The quality of the photograph is poorer than the one I supplied and
4. The photograph I provide shows much more of the aircraft versus what he supplied which mainly focuses on the fuslage and not the entire subject matter
Again, this beckons back to the original problem...who is right? It's stated in the Wiki Guidelines that Wikipedia is not a democracy. -Signaleer 18:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chris. How can you give a user a banstar? And how can you be awarded one? Kevin Kahle 20:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Kevin Kahle
First and foremost, in reference to the P-51 changes, the user BillCJ was the individual who made the first changes to the article without even discussing it.
Please see changes: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=P-51_Mustang&diff=103326453&oldid=103321047
Secondly, he was the first one to make assumptions and point the fingers at me without even having a chance to defense myself: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AP-51_Mustang&diff=103519676&oldid=103510194
If this kind of behavior is tolerated and within the Wiki Guidelines, then fine, I will let them have their charade on being reporting for my "vandalism" and "disruptive behavior" but the attacks by certain users on Wiki is absurd! The way in which you came across is also in a deragatory and unprofessional manner. -Signaleer 20:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I have no problem with you saying that there is not a long enough history to block here, but I'm surprised that you consider the messages posted to my talk page to be in good faith. If I am misinterpreting here, please explain or correct my frame of reference. Did you notice that another admin warned the IP in the past regarding personal attack to my talk page?

The original warning was inflamatory as it basically branded me an idiot by saying i did not know how to use wikipedia. That is why it was removed and I would not remove a warning i did not find inflamatory and thought was justified.

Chris, yes you can range block IPs, although I've never done it myself. The documentation is found at Wikipedia:Blocking_IP_addresses#Blocking_ranges which has links to the details. As that page warns, exercise caution when doing this - in particular it should probably be a "soft" block - i.e. make sure you enable account creation so that IP users can create accounts for themselves. Good luck, Gwernol 21:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Thanks for dealing with Goldendoggy on such short notice. I do believe, however, that the 24-hour block is not enough. Bobabobabo has created (and continues to create) many sockpuppets, and in the past, Ryulong has dealt with them with indefinite blocks. I think it would be best if this were done in this case as well, as to prevent more trouble from the Goldendoggy acount from occurring again. --Benten 01:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, noticed you blocked this user. He'd put some stuff in my talk page that was bordering on illiteracy, it may have been a personal attack I wouldn't know, I think it's more likely a result of drunkeness.

Thanks for taking care of that IP. I'm not clear as to why we have been targeted, I think it's that guy who kept trying to add his myspace page to the article. He called C-Span the other day and tried to direct traffic to his myspace by saying there was a link at RFK's wikipedia article. Maybe I romanticize the concept of a free online encyclopedia too much but in my opinion, trying to use the wiki to shill for your site is just plain wrong. Anyway, thanks again. Cheers.

I know how AIV works. Did you even look at his contribs and talk page? He's done nothing but vandalism, which he obviously knows is wrong. There's no point putting a up a warning. Also, the comment on his talk page about him improving the Cotton Gin article is incorrect, that was actually another IP user, this user replaced Eli Whitney with Ron Jeremy. He's been banned before and got a warning in the recent past. He knows it's wrong, he enjoys attention. -- febtalk 18:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chris. This is not aviation-related, but I am having a problem with some IP users on the Atlanta Braves page. They keep making changes (described at Talk:Atlanta Braves), but will not engage in discussion at all. THe last user, User:146.74.1.99, has made the last two changes (today and Jan 31), and has a history of vandalism on his contributions page (including self-described page blankings).
I have asked for discussion in every revert of these chenges,a nd opened a discussion on the talk pge, but so far no one has even responded. Because of the multiple IPs used, I havent tried to contact the users directly on the matter, but I have left 2 warnings on the last IP user's page.
I have considered asking for help on the Baseball Project page, but even if this is a difference of interpretation, the users are using disruptive tactics, so I did not feel this would really help. If you cannot help directly, could you point me towards someone who could? Thanks for your time, and your contributions to WP:AIR. - BillCJ 20:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

User 216.109.5.50 has been banned 3 times in 3 weeks.
6 days ago he/she had the following warning:
"Regarding edits made during 2007-01-29 (UTC) to French Revolution Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia."
Sure, he/she was subsequently blocked for further vandalism, but within 1 day after coming back, he/she then vandalised Rocket again.
But that warning still stands, so the user has been recently warned, the fact that he was blocked afterwards is not in the wikipedian rules as a disqualifying condition. It's not like the user can go 'I never knew it was against the rules to vandalise!' Exactly where does it say there has to be at least one warning per block? The user has been recently warned.WolfKeeper 21:23, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Would you be interested in some templates that I developed for the "Where I have been" section of your user page? Check out ((User:Will Pittenger/templates/GetCountryFlag))
and ((User:Will Pittenger/templates/GetProvinceFlag))
for just flags. For nation and/or province names, use ((User:Will Pittenger/templates/GetCountryName))
and ((User:Will Pittenger/templates/GetProvinceName))
.
Or you can use the most capable version that I use. It's ((User:Will Pittenger/templates/Nation Flag Entry))
and ((User:Will Pittenger/templates/Province Flag Entry))
. Enjoy them. I created them for myself, but knew, and somewhat hoped for, that they would be used in user boxes and other users' pages. Will (Talk - contribs) 01:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Chrislk02, thanks for your comment on my talk page clarifying the policy on blocking IP addresses. I appreciate that it's quite likely that the vandals using 195.194.144.2 are different people at different times. That said, quite a lot of vandalism comes from that IP. For example, of the 18 contributions from 1st February to now, I count two that aren't vandalism / rubbish. Would a block on anonymous contributions not be appropriate in this situation?

Why are you telling me this? When people are bullying me and harassing me (and worse, being patronizing!) and accusing me of all sorts of crap for no good reason don't I have a reason to be angry? It may not help my case, but already they condemned me (and without my knowledge, when I logged in the other day and saw the message and the discussion, I was not only flabbergasted, but incredulous at the length of discussion!) and I am still incredulous.

Hi Chris, because Washington D.C. is on my watchlist, I came across some vandalism, and tracked it back to this user's history. Besides created an absurd article about himself in the namespace (which I tagged with a CSD lable), he also vandalized the D.C. article and an article about an actress.

I use disruptive edits and vandalism interchangeably. To me they are the same thing, and are not in good faith. If there is a better term that fits here, please tell me, but it's not a mere content dispute. I have attemped to cover both views of the issue in dispute, but the IP user still removes them. He won't discuss it at all, what else can I do but treat this as vadalism? This user has used at least 5 separate IP addresses, so it's impossible to actually try to talk with him. I have tried to discuss things on the article talk page, but he refuses to communicat, or even accept compromises. And now CBD is insulting me by acting like I am engaging in a mere revert war, as if I haven't tried to communicate at all! I have, and the disruptive edits have continued. What else can we do here short of semi-protecting the page?
To be honest, I don't know how much longer I will continue to edit on Wikipedia if things do not change. As long as unregistered users are allowed to edit, this garbage will continue. It is getting to the point where it's not worth the trouble. THe WP:AIR project is pretty good, but I am fed up with editing non-aviation articles. CBD has accused me of not accepting compromise, but how how can you when all your attempts to compromise are still reverted? - BillCJ 18:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. I know its a big issue about IP editors. Is there a central page for discussing this issue? I would certainly like to get involved in the discussion of the issue. As to the article in question, I really beleive this is someone acting in bad faith, though I have no concrete proof of it. I am basing this on the style of edits, and the fact that he changes all attempts to compromise, and won't communicate. Maybe I'm wrong to to believe that his edits are in bad faith, but I have seen newbie edits before (including my own), and this isn't the same thing.- BillCJ 18:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Chris. Thanks for telling me about this admin hang-on template. I've never seen anything of the kind. Although I think that it might be a good idea, I can't think of a workable solution for such template. Any user, especially the creator of an SD candidate, could place the admin hang-on template thereby tricking admins and hindering the whole deletion process. But well, maybe your thread will produce good ideas. :-) Regards, Húsönd 00:39, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Not sure if this is right, but I need help.. you recently deleted a page about a student named Brandon Breedwell. I need the page to remain up. Please check the talk page of it for more information. Thanks. AquaStreak 01:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello-
I created a wikipedia site a few weeks ago for a local cat shelter called the Kitty Cottage in Blue Bell, PA. Could you please help me understand why this site was deleted? I felt that I did a good job of linking to other wikipedia pages and giving full information. Other local pet shelters from around the U.S. have their own wikipedia pages, so I don't understand why another such page would not be acceptable.

Dear Chris. You have recently blocked URL 218.189.215.179 from editing as you regard it as a Spambot. This is the URL of a secondary school in Hong Kong where I have been encouraging my students to use wikipedia and wikibooks for collaborative learning. Please, please, please unblock us!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidjohncock (talk • contribs)
Thanks - I'm concerned to hear that spammers are infiltrating our URL and I'll let the school's IT technician know about it. Meanwhile, students will have to sign up at home before joining the wikibooks as wikipedia limits sign ups from the same URL to six per day. {Davidjohncock}
Please use ((schoolblock)) as your reason for blocking in these cases. It reduces the load of emails we get from confused teachers and students on the unblock-en-l mailing list. And don't hesitate to hand out 6 month blocks for primary and secondary schools. Thanks. -- Netsnipe ► 15:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris! Firstly, thank you for your speedy response to my report. I would appreciate some advice here. I've only been around a few weeks, and I've not progressed beyond vandalism reversion and typo correction. Was WP:AIV the correct place to report this? I thought about reporting it as a conflict of interest, but the guy seemed to be on a roll. Oh, and should his edits (if there are any left) be reverted? Philip Trueman 17:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
The poverty article included some awful references (blockquote inside a reference?) that I have since cleaned up. However I also notice that many "references" are simply links to other wiki pages.

Here is what I see. In regards to the article on Bully Kutta. There are 2 links provided which are disputed as references. The one] is an pretty godo source i would trust. the other has no content and should not be listed as a reference. This oculd go either way based on the reference provided. I would tend to accept them and not challenge the valditiy of the references however.

Hi. Perhaps you can give me guidance on this. At West Highland White Terrier, I am currently trying to protect the article in its consensually applied state, however I have an anonymous IP user who is making sweeping edits (removals not additions), and will not enter into discussion at the article talk page, nor leave an edit summary explaining why he/she has done this?
I know that there is a "three reverts and out" rule in Wikipedia, and I am afraid I will be reaching this point unless I call it vandalism. I actually don't think it is, but I cannot get a response of any kind from the person.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks Refsworldlee(chew-fat)(eds) 19:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I really don't get it. Special:Contributions/125.164.161.204 / Special:Contributions/125.164.161.33 are doing several things wrong. For one, they're mostly removing content from certain articles, placing a category that doesn't exist yet over one that does, and adding wierd categories like "domestic animals" and "Dragon Ball villains" that don't even exist. In all seriousness, I suggest a soft block for each one (including the ones that are likely from the same block) because most of the edits were redlinks that I specifically told them not to do, and yet, they deliberately did it as following each other's examples. THEY DID MORE HARM THAN GOOD. It was really annoying reverting almost everyhing hey did using popups. Let this be a way of teaching them a lesson.

I just noticed the flags on your user page under the heading "Countries I have been in". I ought to point out that if you're showing the flags of England and Scotland, you shouldn't be showing the UK flag. Pedantry perhaps, but to put it in a US context, it would be like me showing, under 'countries' I've visited, the Stars and Stripes and then the flags of Virginia, California and Hawaii (which of course has a UK flag at the top). Either show the components or the whole. Does it matter? Probably not. Emeraude 00:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello WikiProject Metal member.
WikiProject Metal music is important in expanding encyclopedic coverage of the metal. It brings attention to the lesser-known bands, and significantly improves the quality of the famous ones. Five Featured articles and two formers is proof of that.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently resurrected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and embrace the links between metal and rock music in general.
Rock on.

Chris, I need advice. I came across 3 edits (SR-71 Blackbird here, F-117 Nighthawk here, and C-130 Hercules here) where a new editor, User:Sammy9990 added External links to his personal website which is essentially material taken directly from Wikipedia. I've reverted these, but haven't yet left a note for the editor. I vaguely recall something about how mirrors are supposed to be registered and the GFDL licensing must be included when material is used (I can't find anything like this on his site, [26], other than a statement that he has "permission"). I'm way behind on my admin coaching reading list (too busy actually editing!), so while I'm sure there's something in there I should know, I thought maybe you could advise on the best course on this?

I'm a bit new to categories, and after looking through the help info I'm still not sure of the best way to proceed.

Thanks! I should point out that my AIV reports weren't always quite that precise – as you'll see if you look through my discussion archives, I had a number of complaints a while back. I was never that good at keeping track of what warning level a user had been given, and I was always reporting them at the wrong time. In the end, I modified my anti-vandalism software to keep track of warning levels itself – now I can't report a user unless it's satisfied they've had a final warning.

Thanks for the offer to look into this dispute. The editor in question is Gwen Gale and the information you need to reference is the extensive discussion page on Talk:Amelia Earhart where in almost every discussion, there is an extensive discourse in which this editor engages. The most recent example is the challenge over whether Amelia Earhart can be considered an aviation "pioneer" which has been inextricably linked to an assessment of her flying abilities. Despite a number of concerns raised over the tenor of the debate as well as refusals to accept any refererenced sources that do not comply with her viewpoint, the editor in question has again reverted the introductory passage.

plesae see here [30] and here [31]--Lucy-marie 21:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Also hackney and i have a history so it is hardly surprising he is jumping to get me blocked.--Lucy-marie 21:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
No it's regarding G8, and I'm well aware of my proximity to the limit. I've tried repeatedly to get lucy-marie to inform all concerned parties (the infobox and template need to be consistent) but she refuses and does her usual trick of claiming consensus based on the fact nobody has replied (because they don't know about the discussion), or in the case of the template based on a three week old pair of posts on the talk page that have since been superceded by various edits to the template, and they don't even refer to the current version.

I think hackney wants me blocked. please correct me if i am wrong.--Lucy-marie 21:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I have in the past reported hackney for personal attacks and no actionwas taken can have action taken over that if action is to be taken over this.--Lucy-marie 21:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Or more accurately to protect the page on your preferred version, like you have done before. One Night In Hackney. Is this a personal attack?--Lucy-marie 21:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
That was posted on my talk page after i said i had had the page protected. I find it an attack saying i only protect pages to snub other revisions.
Coukd you please have a look at the G8 template as well for concensus.--Lucy-marie 21:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you could you please make that clear on the template talk page.--Lucy-marie 21:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Where?--Lucy-marie 21:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok evidence of what? I see no unequivocal evidence on that talk page.--Lucy-marie 21:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok sorry.--Lucy-marie 21:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Can you tell Lucy-marie they cannot just be ignored please? She seems to think otherwise. One Night In Hackney 21:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I am invoking the "common sence" section in my opinon I made common sence edits to my comments.--Lucy-marie 22:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps the following information from OFFICIAL web pages will shed some light on this dispute. All of the information is easily available by following links from the appropriate Wikipedia articles.
The Official site for the 1998 Summit ([32]), under the heading "G8 Structure: an informal club" states that "The G8 is an informal organisation, with no rules or permanent Secretariat staff." (Meaning it has NO members.) From the title page, follow the link to Participating governments: ([33]) and you find a list of countries, and the European Commission.
The Official site for the 2001 Summit ([34]) clearly includes the EU flag at the top of the page. Following the Fact file link to [35] we can read that "Since 1975, the heads of state or government of the major industrial democracies have been meeting annually........ The six countries at the first Summit, held at Rambouillet, France in November 1975, were France, the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan and Italy. They were joined by Canada at the San Juan, Puerto Rico Summit of 1976, and by the European Community at the London Summit of 1977." (my emphasis).
On a related point, Lucy-marie has edited the following two pages (at least) to remove mention of the European Commission under the heading of "Leaders at the Summit": 24th G8 summit and 25th G8 summit. This is blatantly wrong even if the European Commission is not a member, since its leader WAS at the summits in question. Emeraude 22:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Can you provide any statment saying the EU has been admitted as a member such as for russia and canada?--Lucy-marie 22:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Just to let you know, there is a line of people who will be ready to nominate when the time comes, lol. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 22:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Im sorry I just find it easy to delete my posts after reading them that way it stands out if i have a message. I had read yours and i didnt need it after i read it so i deleted it. My only porpose here is to help watch the pages that my clases use for the best of my fellow students. I am only here because 2 months ago I visited a site and saw that someone had swore all over a public page and it wasnt fixed till the next day so thats wy. But Justin Eller deleted a link on my userpage to my non-profit webpage and said it was a spam link. But it wasnt. Its a link for my school. Its Upick radio. Its newly developed with DJs from my school.
Please contact me A.S.A.P
Its not for promotional porposes its for my school!!!!! No one can listen unless they are a student at my school. You got it all backwards. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cfinn06 (talk • contribs) 22:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC).
