Moving of 11001001I really don't know why you move this article. Yeah, I know there probably won't be an article with that name, but all the other trek articles - for sake of staying consistant with eachother - all contained "EPISODE NAME(SHOW episode)" in their titles. It helped distinguish them as Trek articles, so if anything else happened to use that name no one would trash the page (for being a stupid trek article) and replaced by some other crap. So, unless of course you moved others around which I haven't found yet, I ask that you please not move them anymore. It screws everything up and makes endless redirects when other articles link back to it. I ask you to see about moving it back as well to (TNG episode) like it was, which now requires an admin's redirect since it's screwed up now. Thanks Cyberia23 08:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC) Hello Furrykef. I just wanted to let you know that we have created a new policy on en.wikibooks that asks all admins who have been inactive for a year or more to return their admin tools. This is not supposed to be a punishment of any sort, we are only trying to clean house a little bit, and take stock of our resources. If you do not plan on returning to wikibooks, we ask that you give up your admin tools there. If you do plan on coming back, we would be happy to have you. PS. I see that you are interested in videogames. Unfortunately, at en.wikibooks, it has been decided that videogame manuals and strategy guides do not belong there. If you would like to steal some of these guides before they get deleted ( a slow process so far), you are more then welcome! Let me know if you have any questions or comments, on my wikibooks talk page: b:User talk:Whiteknight --User:Wknight8111 (WB:Whiteknight) 18:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC) Musical acousticsHi. There is an argument currently being had about the article Musical acoustics, and given that you're an active editor that's at least looked over it a little, I was wondering if you'd be willing to comment on the discussion at Talk:Musical acoustics. Specifically I was attempting to remove a segment of the article which I feel is irrelevant, misleading, POV, and poorly written. I also find that the user who initially added this section (and is currently engaged in the argument) has been inserting material from his own research into many wikipedia articles, including this one. (Searching wikipedia for "greenwych.ca" and checking changes history will find a plethora of links added by this author to his own website.) There is a lot of text on the talk page right now, but I think the most relevant comments are under the heading: Talk:Musical acoustics#Please comment on the "Evolution of the diatonic scale" section. I would greatly appreciate another voice on this matter. - Rainwarrior 08:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Re: your edit to Sierra Entertainment ("Abandonware")As of today, per the recent changes to the DMCA, some Abandonware is legal:

R:E Nintendo 64 controller; Control Stick Not Analog!!i never said the stick wasnt analog as it is a analog all i stated was that nintendo marketed the analog stick on the controller as the control stick Lupin III Episode TitlesInstead of just deleting the titles of the episodes which provide useful information (like what each episode is about), couldn't you have just created an entry for each TV series and moved the titles there? It took me quite a while to add the titles to the article for them to be instantly gone with a select all + delete! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.43.82.18 (talk) 05:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
Lupin III Citation NeededI noticed that you brought back the "citation needed" tag to the Lupin III page. However, there is not a single sentence in the page that is tagged as needing citation. I am not sure people know what information they need to look up for citation when nothing has been tagged as needing citation. I guess the action to take would be to either remove the citation needed tag from the article or keep it but tag the parts of the article where citation is needed so that people may look up the necessary information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.217.175.129 (talk) 17:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC).

LeVar Burton's DeathI don't know where you got your information from, but I got mine from a news article. Would it be better if I sourced his death? Nerdloc 18:12 PM 9 April 2007 (UTC)
JaimeI redirected Jaime to Jamie because there was nothing there at Jaime worth keeping. That is, we don't really have articles on names, they are instead disambiguation pages. See Jamie, James, Fred, etc. The Jaime page before I redirected it only had one person listed there named Jaime, so it didn't seem worthy of making a disambig page. However, in doing a search just now, I see that we actually do have a number of articles on people named Jaime. If you wanted to make Jaime into a disambiguation page, and include links to the various articles we have on people named Jaime, that would certainly be reasonable. --Xyzzyplugh 12:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC) Balance of Power ChangeYou're right - Windows hardly existed when Balance of Power came out. In fact, Windows was so new that BOP came with a separate floppy which contained a stand-alone version of Windows so that if the player didn't already have Windows installed, they could still run the game. I suppose it could be argued that BOP was a DOS game since Windows 1.0 was little more than a GUI for DOS, but as the author of the PC port (for both the original and the 1990 versions), I have always taken pride in the fact that it was one of the first "real" (i.e. not Solitaire) games for Windows.

By editing a protected article, it tends to .. well... not sit well with non-admins, who then feel like peons. Peace. ;) Lsi john 01:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your changes to the LZMA article to try and improve the spelling/grammar; changing "Free software"→"free software". I have reverted your change as a capitialised "Free" is used to denote libre (Freedom) vs. gratitus (zero cost) when discussing Free software.

Whenever I see a dozen edits by the same person I think "OMG A Vandal!" or, worse yet, someone who posted the web link to their personal business on 23 pages, necessitating removal...you know how it goes. Just a quick comment to let the rest of us that you are fixing punctuation, capitalization or grammar will do much for the blood pressure of your fellow wikipedians! Thanks!

SomariYour reason: "This is absolutely incorrect. It is not "nothing but graphics changes", because Somari is a Genesis game running on NES hardware. There's a lot more involved there than mere "graphics changes", especially because how the original game worked was not nearly as well-understood back then as it is now. It's not something "any one over the age of 4" could do, or anything close to it; it's one of the most impressive hacks ever done. Please be more careful when nominating things for deletion. I have put the article up for deletion review. - furrykef (Talk at me) 21:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)"

I was mainly trying to inform people of the Track Pack and the ability to play as a different vehicle (buggy) and the fact that there were more tracks available to race on and that it was interesting. The Super Off Road page looks to mention the track pack but doesn't saying anything about the ability to choose a different vehicle and I had a discrepency (argument) with some users online about it even existing which is why I was surprised more people didn't know of this at all. Anyway, if there's anyway that information can be added and reference that page or something it would certainly satisfy me, so that these misinformed 'older gamers' can have something to reference that is actually true :D Grindking (talk) 02:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Gröûp X, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

I am the guy who put the "Lacks in i18n" section on to the CP437 article. About the peseta currency sign, there is actually no historical rationale to explain its presence in CP437, except the fact that spanish models (i.e., those sold in Spain) of the IBM electrical typewriters also had this type (inherited from older spanish models of typewriters of any brand). Remember that IBM creates CP437; so this is the unique relationship inside IBM which can connect both facts (electrical typewriters and CP437). Ah!, I'm from Spain (and I saw the IBM electrical typewriter I told about). So please, remove the tag. Yours. ---Ricardo Cancho Niemietz (talk) 18:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, perhaps would be better a "citation needed" tag instead of "original research", and reformat the entire phrase to avoid "maybe", "perhaps", and similar expressions. I'll try my best to avoid conflicts. Visit the page later to check my changes. And about my English, I stated in my personal wikipage that I am "en-2" level. In every case, thanks a lot to correct my spelling. -Ricardo Cancho Niemietz (talk) 19:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC) "Talk at Me" ?please tell me how you made every link to this page in wikipedia say that.

Examples of Just Intonation MIDIsI hope this is the right place to contact you, Furrykef... I was very impressed with the sound examples you placed on the Just Intonation entry. I work with a Barbershop chorus, and we're very interested in figuring out ways to help our members learn to sing in "Just" and get the overtones instead of singing in equal. I've been trying to figure out how to get my MIDI files (created with Finale Notebook) to play back in Just instead of Equal. Can you give me any tips on how you managed to do that? I'd love to be able to produce a variety of sound samples like the ones on this page to play them back for our chorus. Thanks for any help you can give. -- Jen H.
