Hi Isotope23/Archive 1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) June 29, 2005 14:41 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user page. It's greatly appreciated! --Alan Au 20:47, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
I23: The Sam Sloan page already went through a vfd and survived. It has gone through its ups and downs in POV (Bill Brock and myself, A.W. Morrow), but basically the vfd it went through already still seems to apply: it survived. I am going to remove your vfd for now. 69.181.82.221 23:54, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
I was trying to be nice... I've known band that played a series of towns <2 hours away from their home and considered it a "tour".--Isotope23 20:41, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your positive feedback.
The myspace link actually has an mp3 streamer which can be downloaded from. All other hosting sites I have hosted the songs with often require registering with an obscure website, so I leave those links alone. If you are really interested and cannot get the songs(plus several others that are not there) I could send them to your email in a zipped folder. The0208 21:30, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
Hey Isotope, I wanted to talk to you about your comment on the deletion of Ecclesiastical State. You said delete, which I basically agree with you, but you also argued (partically) for redirecting to Ecclesiastical government. Any chance I can convince you to change your vote to a redirect? I also liked your comment about locking it so the article can't be recreated. I've been dealing with this one for awhile (if you look at the edits and the talk page you'll see my comments). Anyway, hoping I can persuade you to slightly alter your vote. Thanks! Davidpdx 9/25/05 11:26 (UTC)
You asked:
I can answer that one myself. It's easy. By definition it is a master meme and cannot be defeated in rational exchange. Therefore, if it is deleted, it proves that the AfD discussion was not a rational exchange.
The only question I have is: what happens when an irresistible master meme meets an immovable logic? Dpbsmith (talk) 22:18, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
I thought I had perhaps slipped a cog in nominating this. - brenneman(t)(c) 23:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Could you give an unbiased opinion on Seduction Community which is now VfU. This relates to the AfD debate on David DeAngelo. I think the most objective way to cover this area would be with a general article on the entire subject without links to commercial sites. It would be up to the WP community whether to address individual figures within the community. I think references to media coverage would be enough external linking. Let me know what you think.

You're welcome! I must say it was one of the more creative vandals that I ran into that day :-) --JoanneB 13:11, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I've rewritten this article and would appreciate it if you could cast an eye over the result. Dlyons493 Talk 22:38, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Liked your approach on the Bryant afd. Good work. AndyJones 23:23, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
This article has been expanded considerably. I urge you to take a look at it and reconsider your delete vote. Thanks. Denni☯ 05:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, do reconsider your vote on AfD for -0. Negative zeroes occur in one-complement arithmetic. Please check out this link! Pilatus 00:53, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

May I burden you with working on this subject? I joined the fray with Johnski to try to counterbalance the opposition from Gene Pooley and Davidpbx for a better article. From your efforts thus far on related subjects, it appears you are better suited to write something between the two points, which seem to have consensus on some points. It seems that Johnski's arguments are based on an real effort at removing bias, but he may be adding some of his own.207.47.122.10 01:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Just a small note to say thanks for making me laugh here [1]. Thanks :) chowells 17:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
I respect your effort to try to rewrite this article. However, I feel very strongly that the more he (and we both know who I'm talking about) is permitted to spread this crap throughout Wikipedia, the more legitimate it will make it. It defintately is not legitimate.
I did look at the links, I feel the document from University of Hawaii is not a legal document. What it appears to be is the text of a legal document with no signtures or seals. I honestly feel that could have been typed by anyone.
I'll put these comments on the talk page as you are requesting, however likely it will just start a larger fight between myself and Johnski (aka Samuelspade/KAJ/ect). I don't know if you are aware, but he has several sockpuppets and has been up to some pretty dishonest stuff on Wikipedia. Please feel free to look at the history on the DOM page at some of the stuff that has been happening.
What it comes down to, is that I'm not willing to work with him because of his actions. I'm sure at some point you've been burned by someone and once you are, it's impossible to work with them anymore. Davidpdx 01:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Here is my suggestion in terms of the last paragraph of the Soklope article:
The Dominion of Melchizedek, a micronation known for being directly linked to large scale banking fraud in many parts of the world, claims to have a lease granting them use of the Solkope Island for 99 years. The lease was obtained from Hiagi Apao, who claims to be the sole soverign owner of the island. Although at times there has been a movement advocating sucession away from Fiji, the island is still recognized as territory of Fiji.
Through research on the internet, I found lots of stuff about a possible sucession from Fiji, which never materialized. It looks like Pedley tried to influence the whole thing in terms of getting their plan approve. Based on the article I read, it didn't work. Therefore, the claim Johnski (aka Samuelspade/KAJ/etc) is making is bogus in nature. Here is a link to the article:
http://www.atimes.com/oceania/BB05Ah01.html
Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks... Davidpdx 14:44, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick response. I wikified two links (Dominion of Melchizedek and micronation). We might even be able to get rid of the notice that the article is stub at this point. It's getting pretty long now. Davidpdx 15:09, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
the "purports" terminology.--Isotope23 19:59, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
I know exactly how you feel. I'm having one of those days too today; I keep spotting comments I made and forgot to sign. Isn't it annoying? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 17:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks... the last thing I need is someone getting in a huff because I held down shift too long so they think I'm yelling at them. I just got done trying to broker a compromise on wording in the Solkope article, which was the wiki equivelent to letting a horse kick me in the head. I need some mellow time after that experience.--Isotope23 17:43, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
I hope you don't mind, I moved your comment here to make the discussion easier to follow, per the header on my talk page.
So you're cooling off by participating in school AFDs? Must've been one hellacious negotiation.
Hey, while I'm thinking of it, I'm considering forming a bipartisan negotiation cabal to (someday) broker a school compromise, and, in the meantime, try and cut down on the sniping and haranguing and just general meanness on school AFDs. You're levelheaded and you apparently believe in assuming in good faith as much as I do...would you be interested? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 18:02, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, I'd love to have you as a member, but there is no school cabal, really. ¬_¬ - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 18:21, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
It'd be great to have you on, if it existed, really. If you see anyone else counselling calmness or otherwise trying to reduce the shrillness of the school AFDs (or any other related debate, really), could you point them at that page? Maybe they'll want to put down their name as a hypothetical member of the cabal, if it existed (but it doesn't, really). - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 18:37, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Regarding your most recent comment during the George Alexander (US Army soldier) Articles for Deletion discussion [2], I apologise if I gave the impression that I felt you were attacking my rationale. You and most everyone else have made some very valid points regarding the notability potential for this person, and I genuinely respect your point of view in this debate. Hall Monitor 21:21, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey Isotope,
Thanks for the kind words and support on my RfA! Rest assured that I'll do my best to wield the mop with honor and righteousness. Cheers! --Dave 14:44, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey, no problem. Saw someone mucking about with some AFD's while on RC patrol, and a little research showed that they were vandalising a whole bunch of stuff, so I fixed it :). Thanks for the, er, thanks, though! :)--Sean Black | Talk 21:48, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
I took your AFD nominations for Klep dim Trep-related articles and merged them into the AFD nomination for this article. I then relisted the whole lot of them on the Nov 2 log. Regards, howcheng [ talk • contribs • [http://www.howcheng.com/

I have rewritten and expanded this article to establish notability according to WP:NMG. I would be grateful if you could have a look. Capitalistroadster 03:11, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
I do think most, if not all, of the links were inappropriate. I reviewed the user's contributions, and at least the first ones s/he put in were actually quite helpful (and entirely unrelated to linking). However, I wonder if perhaps s/he realized the power of "advertising" through WP after a while. I'm trying to assume good faith though, and I think the user, if s/he has indeed passed over to the Dark Side, may still be rehabilitatable (is that even a word?) and a good contributor. So I guess my advice is to make sure the user understands the policy on WP:NOT a link farm, and gently continue to clean up the mess. Thanks for thinking enough of my work here on Wikipedia to solicit my opinion on something! I'm quite flattered. Happy editing! Jacqui ★ 17:02, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
Hello Isotope23: I am not sure where to reply to your note about having removed some links I added today but hope you will see this note. I'm not clear exactly what links you removed - only to the Rosa Parks page/s, or also others? About the Rosa Parks link/s: if you would look through the papers these links make available for downloading, you would see that they don't just discuss the "Greek chorus" mechanism, but in fact they do explain some of the history of Rosa Parks's gesture on the bus, the consequent Montgomery bus boycott, the role of MLK, EDNixon, JoAnnRobinson and others in the women's association, and other people involved in this seminal moment of civil rights history. I continue to think it is appropriate to provide these links to the Rosa Parks entry, ESPECIALLY at this time of honoring her memory when so many of the accounts in the press continued to get the story wrong, for example by saying she was tired after a long day's work - despite her strong statement that 'the only kind of tired I was, was tired of giving in,' which inspired the title of the interactive piece and related paper/s. I think it is important to provide readers with alternate (substantiated) views such as these downloadable papers do provide. Further, the bibliographies of the papers I'd made available for downloading provide excellent references for more in-depth reading about the Rosa Parks story, for example in works by Herbert Kohl and MLK. - CS
Hi, Isotope23, I think you misunderstood my problem with the article in question. If you have a moment, can you please read my comments in the talk page and then my reply to your comment in the AfD? TIA ---CH (talk) 02:38, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
It turns out he was a film star - see imbd link in the article. Also it may well be incorrect that he was not in the House of Lords as that argument is probably based on a misunderstanding. Please consider amending your vote. CalJW 01:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
