Nth root articleSorry to bother you about this, but since I saw your username on the history page and I sympathized with the fact you're learning Japanese (for the right reasons, I might add), I thought I might as well ask you about this: "Once a number has been changed from radical form to exponentiated form, the rules of exponents still apply (even to fractional exponents), namely

Ralbot 08:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC) Opinions OldspammerI will look into your suggestion of learning more about WP, but I'm pretty lazy and disorganized, and may not get around to doing it for a week or more. I'm starting to become interested in the current implementation of "population control" as it is being done by inoculation programs world-wide using vaccines developed by Merck, and others. I've been researching papers, books, and videos, and so may be distracted in this direction for some time. Oldspammer 23:38, 1 July 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for July 2nd, 2007.

Ralbot 08:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC) Electromagnetic therapyHalf of the article is gone. This is very discouraging to my efforts to contribute! That deleted part was still largely under development. Sources were provided for many of the items in the deleted section. If possible, please try to assist in finding improved / more reliable / 'suitable' sources. Please contribute more to the article's talk page as to your views regarding subject matter that you personally deem inappropriate to include in the article so that I do not waste my valuable time contributing researched, sourced information only to have you identify it as inappropriate while I'm in the process of improving and expanding such information. Each type of machine outlined did exist. References as to their existence were provided. Notability / Significance section--An introduction to the equipment table was provided to identify significance / notability (relevance) and distinguish of each type of machine. That introduction had several subsections and was one of the latest portions of the article to be included. Only a very few days had gone by when deletion was carried out thereby giving little chance for me to continue my efforts to improve the section. The significance subsection was requested by a WP contributor. It has been noted by some journalists (Art Bell & Guests) that the scientific establishment rather than promoting progress in the search for knowledge and scientific explanations, are more concentrated in defending existing flawed theories, existing paradigms and vested careers, and monetary interests--and that this was especially true in the USA where money is like god. Had these influences not had been so strong, we as a civilization would be further progressed than currently. Please provide me guidance (rather than quoting WP guidelines and policies) by identifying key paragraphs with which you have objections rather than deleting first. Assist if you are able in providing RS deemed suitable by yourself. It is my understanding that WP guidelines and policies are heavily used to suppress knowledge of things that are "politically not in the mainstream," and therefore, by definition, have no sources 'deemed reliable' by establishment proponents. For example, it is "not helpful" when only stating that a source is unreliable even when such a source merely presents a photograph of a given device, and has some description text. In what way is the photo unreliable? In what way could the description text be unreliable? Until a source web page has demonstrably had deceiving information presented therein (and is challenged as such), I think that it should stand as a RS, even if it is a direct, first hand report / source. In some cases first hand sources are acceptable--but it seems only in some articles are they acceptable? I think that alternative medicine has a tough enough job as it is without having to provide what would in essence be contra-indications that it was actually a mainstream medical practice / treatment device by having been FDA-approved for medical use, established scientifically in the scholarly literature, and proven in medical clinical trials. What circumstances are there that permits first hand sources to be used in some cases? It seems to me that a whimsical yardstick exists, and someone gets it out every time to say that such and such sources are not 'RS.' Thank you for any helpful assistance that you might provide in this matter. Oldspammer 17:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for July 16th, 2007.

You erased my contributions because they were uncited claims, yet you preserved your own uncited claims (regarding the characteristics of Indigo Children). Using a reftag might have been a better or maybe even the best (considering the nature of the topic) solution to this rather than erasing the section completely, but if nobody but you can make any contributions to it, then I see no other option that is fair. But just out of curiosity, what made my contributions to that specific list any less plausible, founded or permissable than yours? SystemGlitch

Fair use rationale for Image:Imp tfp 07.jpgThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Imp tfp 07.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. EEMeltonIV 17:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC) 4chan

Dearest Opposer, Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed unsuccessfully with 39 supports, 15 oppose, and 1 neutral. I would have liked to gain some experience of being an admin, but it wasn't to be. At least I gained some valuable time there and will use my knowledge picked up to my next candidacy. I would like to say once again, thank you for voting and I hope to see you at my next request be it a nomination or self-induced, I hope I don't get as many questions!

My RfaThanks for voting in my Rfa, which I withdrew from yesterday. Though I did not get promoted, I see this Rfa as being a success nonetheless. What I got out of this Rfa will help me to be a better, all around editor. Because of this Rfa I have decided to become better in other areas of editing. I'm not going to just be a vandalfighter. Though vandalfighting is good, being active in all areas of editing is even better. Have a nice day.--SJP 22:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I have changed it back - this choice was the compromise result of a discussion at RFD, see here. If you disagree with this and still want to change it, I suggest trying to form a consensus at Redirects for discussion first. Thanks, and apart from that, keep up the good work - you seem like my kind of editor! Terraxos 22:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for November 19th, 2007.

Ralbot (talk) 19:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC) lolcat bibleWell, it's been reported in multiple sources therefore it meets WP:WEB. I've never really cared about whether topics have articles or redirects to sections, apart from the fact that redirects to sections are a bit messy, and in this case having a section this long in the lolcat article about one particular website would perhaps throw off the balance of that article a bit.. - Zeibura (Talk) 14:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Troubling adviceEr, I'm not sure that the advice you've given A.Z. is the best possible under the circumstances. I mean really—"shoot it off to Slashdot" for a trial by press? If you've worked with A.Z. for any length of time, you will have noticed his tendency to get worked up and say...regrettable...things in the heat of the moment. Setting him up for a public fight is the absolute last thing you would want to do if you were trying to get him unbanned here. Fanning his flames and getting him riled up will just lead to belligerent, self-righteous attacks seasoned heavily with rules-lawyering. The ArbCom will perfectly reasonably find, based on that conduct, that their decision not to carry out a full appeal was correct. On the remote chance that A.Z. does manage to interest the press – and I use the term loosely, as I would include The Register in that category – he'll be made to look a complete nutjub by a reporter who chooses to print only the most...vehement...of A.Z.'s comments. If you have concerns about "idiotic decisions done by a WP bureaucracy" then you should fight your own battles, in your own name. I've seen other editors use A.Z. as a stalking horse for their own grudges, and I would hate to see it happen again. (Some of that conduct is probably part of the reason why there's been no particular interest in unblocking A.Z.) TenOfAllTrades(talk) 15:07, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Image background colorI came across your plea to fix your image backgrounds - while I believe the background color is dependent on the skin, you can change it in your monobook (at least that's what Google says, no guarantees!): /* Makes the background of a framed image white instead of gray. */
/* Only visible with transparent images. */
/* See #Framed_image_background_color */
div.thumb div a img {
background-color:#F8EABA;
}
Note that this will be site-wide: I'm not sure if you can make it only apply on one page, and if so I have no idea how. -Wooty [Woot?] [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam!] —Preceding comment was added at 12:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Mootemail.jpg) Thanks for uploading Image:Mootemail.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Seriousspender (talk) 13:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC) TannasinI'm not sure you're familiar with the criteria for notability for web content. From the guideline (with my comments): 1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
2. The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization.[6]
3. The content is distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster;[7] except for:
As you can see, it doesn't meet the criteria for notability according to the web guideline. Unfortunatly, being widely known on the web isn't good enough for encyclopedia standards. Kuronue | Talk 01:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
