Hey, how are doing? I'm not attempting to censor you, or start an edit war, I'm just giving you a heads up. The Discovery Channel and History Channel are subdivisions of NBC and ABC respectively, and often air newsreports from the parent stations news division. Therefore I suggest that you double check that the investigations you are referring to were in fact done by NBC or ABC, and cite it to them. Also, the History Channel will often air programs like "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" but the program is not a History Channel investigation. It was done by some third party not related to ABC. If you aren't more specific about who is doing the investigations, you risk getting your entries deleted.

The reason the book description should not go into that section is that because a book cannot recreate events visually like the other things in that section. That section was set up to list video of the assassination and others who have recreated video of the assassination. I do believe that the book does belong in the article in some fashion, but not there. I'm thinking of adding a book section to the article (since there is one for Film portrayals). That information would go nicely there.

Hi Ganfon. You can see any user's list of contributions. Go to the user page, then look at the navigation boxes on the left of the screen below the Wikipedia logo. Just below the search box you'll see a bulleted list of links. About half way down those is "User contributions". This lists all the edits the user has made (except those made to subsequently deleted pages). You can look through that list to see what edits they have made.
If you want to get a count of simply the number of edits made, you can look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_edit_counters which has links to a number of tools you can use. Some of these are not currently working, and many of them are complex to install and/or use, but they're at least available. I hope this answers your question. Best, Gwernol 21:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I appreciate your efforts, but next time you report a vandal to WP:AIV, do it according to the format posted on the page. Also, don't abbreviate. I was lucky to be able to find out from your userpage that MTPA was probably Manheim Township Performing Arts. If people didn't follow the proper format for reporting vandals, it would make the task much harder. Thanks. --Nishkid64 01:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I deleted your AfD entry because it was not a nominatoin for an article to be deleted. (Please don't use it to make a point). As for the AfD notice, I removed it when I deleted that page, but an anon added it back, of which I've reverted again. --WinHunter (talk) 02:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your strong support in my RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I do appreciate your comments, and found them encouraging. Please rest assured that I am still in support of the Wikipedia project, and will continue to contribute without interruption. Thanks again! --Elonka 18:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Your addition of a copyrighted image (and one missing license and rationale) to the article on Elizabeth Mitchell is in violation of WP:FUC and has been reverted. --Yamla 04:06, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
I just deleted this article as a failure of WP:CSD A7...an article which does not assert the notability or importance of the subject. The associated photo was deleted as an orphaned fair use image. If you would like to dispute my decision, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thanks, Alphachimp 17:14, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I am the originator of the AfD for this article and would like to withdraw my nomination in favor of the ((notability)) tag I have placed on the article and the information I have provided on its Talk page.
If you agree with the withdrawal of the nomination (I realize you might not), could you please strike through your recommendation on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Club International page and note your agreement with the alternative?
Thanks.—Nicer1 (talk • contribs) 19:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Off Topic with Matt and Dave, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain web site, blog, forum, or other community of web users that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template ((hangon))
to the page, and put a note on Talk:Off Topic with Matt and Dave. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 02:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Off Topic is a podcast i mentioned their MySpace as a website in the userbox, and that can be changed to the Gcast site, but they are not soley a blog,
Poscasts are covered under ((db-web)) as "web content".
I insistantly request you reverse this immediatley.
Nope. --Calton | Talk 02:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I have highlighted the appropriate portions of the notice above for your convenience. Note the use of the adjectives. Also, read this and this. --Calton | Talk 04:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page, and for increasing the count on my "badge of honour". --stephenw32768<talk> 00:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my RfA, which I have chosen to withdraw early at a final count of (10/8/3) as it was unlikely to gain consensus. Most users wanted me to be more experienced, so I shall continue to contribute and reapply sometime in the future. I am grateful for the kind words I was given, and will do my best to improve in the areas that were cited as my weaknesses. Please always feel free to help me along with a suggestion on how I could improve, and if you ever need help, I am ever at your service. Best as always, Dar-Ape 23:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Your vote in my RFA is appreciated. Unfortunately, the RfA failed to achieve consensus. If you have any advice for me on how to do better next time around, it would be greatly appreciated! Seraphimblade 14:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my successful Request for Adminship (final result 78 Support /0 Oppose / 1 Neutral) I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. I will be slowly acclimating myself to my new tools over the next months. I am humbled by your kind support and would certainly welcome any feedback on my actions. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Once again, many thanks and happy new year! All the best, Asteriontalk 15:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. It is my wish that I will continue to deserve your confidence. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 18:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
That's quite alright. He won't be bothering us for a little while now, anyway. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart - Receive My EviLove 22:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me. I hope my future activity is as fantastic in your view as my history and worthy of your total trust. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC) |
Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

I am interested to learn how your opinion on the notability of Delezio was derived given that you couldn't even be bothered to spell his name correctly when voting on the AfD page. Albatross2147 08:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for contacting me about this project, I'm definitely interested and look forward to its growth. Sign me up for whatever I can do to help. Have a great day, oops back to the podcasting article, looks like somebody's decided to add a subsection in the external links for "Lists of Podcast Directories"? OK, back to work! Testerer 06:57, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thanks alot for my Barnstar, obviously many, many people have worked hard on the Podcasting related articles, I am humbled and appreciative regarding your kind gesture. Incidentally I'm also a fan of The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack, it's a great show and it is always fun to meet new people enjoying the same content. I'd say they are definitely notable enough to merit their own article but I know others have gone through that already. Any help on that front in the future will find me ready if needed. Thanks again- have a great day!Testerer 18:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
You placed a welcome message on User talk:Metropolizei, but the helpme tag wasn't surrounded by nowiki as it should have been. Was it some template you were substituting in, or what? I've seen a few other users' talk pages have that happen to, so I'd like to know what's causing it. Thanks. --Sopoforic 20:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ganfon,
Thanks for commenting on my RfA. Could I ask you to clarify something? When you wrote "but your Wikipedia edits simply don't compare to your mainspace edits," are you talking about quality or quantity?
Please reply anywhere convenient. Jakew 20:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning, as well as for your very kind remarks accompanying your !vote. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 18:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed that you are a podcaster. Well, recently I've proposed a Wikiproject for podcasting. If you're interested go to the proposal page and list yourself under 'Interested Users'. Thanks, and hope to talk with you again soon. Ganfon 19:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed you're presently opposing BozMo's AfD based on inexperience, yet he's got 4800+ edits at this point. I'm worried about the edit count threshold for RfAs continuing to creep higher.
I also noticed you and several others commented when the edit histories were briefly disrupted and his edit count was under-reported.
What are your thoughts on the minimum experience an RfA candidate should have? --A. B. (talk) 00:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to review my contributions and contribute to my RfA. I withdrew when it became clear that the uphill climb had crossed the snowball threshold, but I appreciate your feedback and the process gave me some good ideas for other ways I can be contributing to Wikipedia. I'll work on the areas that came up in the discussion, and try again after I've gained wider experience. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:33, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Ganfon. I am pleased to hear there is a Podcasting WikiProject, but not so pleased at how many square inches of our RSS (file format) article page is now filled up by the new template. Please join the discussion over there. EdJohnston 22:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Ganfon,
I just would like to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 54/13/11. I appreciate the trust expressed by members of the community, and will do my best to uphold it.
Naturally, I am still becoming accustomed to using the new tools, so if you have suggestions or feedback, or need anything please let me know. - Gilliam 21:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello Ganfon: If you have the time would you mind reading the Aaron Sorkin article and critiquing it at FAC? I'm trying to build a consensus to promote it to FA but I need a few more peers to help out.-BiancaOfHell 13:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Someone is continually vandalizing the article on Dave Winer and refuses to cooperate. I'm afraid it's turning ugly. The user name is Nirelan] and seriously Ganfon. I need your help, anything you can do to stop this onslaught of vandalism would be greatly appreciated. What should be a simply Bio over a computer scientist is turning into a personal cause for this guy and its ruining the article and efforts by many. Thank you. Testerer 19:16, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Gafon, I have added whole sections about Dave (I added the bloggercon section) and I made a whole article about one of his websites (Weblogs.com). However, Dave's fanboys have auctually caused the article to contridict itself. The opening paragraph says "Winer was the first to implement the feed "enclosure" feature, one of several necessary ingredients for podcasting at the time it first emerged[3] although further into the article it says "- Using special "sound" and "video" tags in RSS Feeds to link to specific file types was proposed in 2000 in a draft by Tristan Louis." If another man wrote the draft for it Dave certainly wasnt the first to implement it. --Nirelan/talk
Thank you for the kind message. Take Care. -- Nirelan

Thanks for your award it means a lot to me cheers god this is a great day -I have just succeeded in getting Abbas Kiarostami to featured status with User:Sangak from a start article in like 4 weeks! I also added the synopsis to From Russia With Love (film) which is cool! when I have time I'll do the same to all films. I also kitted out all of the Bond films with photpgrpahs using a combination of free images and promo photos - see The World is Not Enough I managed to put in some free images which really help to identify the film.
