"Less qualified editor"

Please could you avoid using this term to describe yourself in WP edit summaries? (Problems of self-esteem can usually be dealt with off-wiki.) Mathsci (talk) 22:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Your comments on my talk page seem inappropriate and uninformed. Wikiscribe's reinstated template at the top of Europe was removed almost immediately by another editor who agreed entirely with my appraisal - somebody pushing an extreme point of view with no justification. Since you seem to have had some difficulty taking that in and have made no edits to Europe, why not simply MYIB? Otherwise you might come across as something of a stirrer. Mathsci (talk) 23:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

It seems sir mathsci is trying to show you up as well he is a very rude person , i see im not the only person who seems to have a problem with the way mathsci conducts himself on wikipedia though i can't say im surprized , mathsci is misleading you my so called extreme point of view was not a point of view at all i just want the c.i.a world factbook definition of the european regions added next to the united nations opinion of european regions hardly extreme just trying to make the article nuetral i just misplaced the tag and put it at the top of the article instead of the part of the article i was disputeing--Wikiscribe (talk) 17:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Backpacking (travel)

I think those sources fit what you asked for, if not, let me know. I have a ton of research in this area. TRAVELLINGCARI^My story_{Tell me yours} 14:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

True, I can dig out more but I really don't want to oversource the lead either, per WP:LEAD. Is there a section where you think it would fit better in the article? I'll probably get back to sourcing and expanding this at the weekend. TRAVELLINGCARI^My story_{Tell me yours} 00:35, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh I definitely agree that it's encyclopedic, just trying to figure out where it fits best. I think I have an idea that will naturally feed off the lead. Just need to figure out how to word it and dig out some of the sources. TRAVELLINGCARI^My story_{Tell me yours} 11:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Notable people from Dunedin

Hi Michelle - I've undone your edit to Notable people from Dunedin - just because Jeffrey harris does not yet have an article doesn't automatically make him non-notable - he is, in fact, one of New Zealand's dozen or so most highly recognised painters (in fact, he would be many times more notable than Claire Beynon, whose blue-link you left in place. Claire's a nice person, and does very fine art, but she'd be only borderline notable by WP standards). It's always worth doing a google search to double-check before removing redlinks to lists like this. Still, it's encouraged me to write a stub article on Harris's art. Grutness...wha? 00:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC) (who is, in the "real world", an arts reviewer for the Otago Daily Times in Dunedin)

looks like

matt shervington lives in davidson. so i took the others out too, because there's no source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.51.0.38 (talk) 02:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Random comment/question

I came across the following quote by User:Mathsci, not sure what it meant but it sounded rather insulting. The comment was "...where I am still apparently being wikistalked by the Australian User:Michellecrisp." But then again, I do know know what wikistalked means. Is this a commonly used term?

{{unblock|Not sure why am I blocked, I reported the 3R violation and the spam edits by the anon user 122.104.185.247 (talk · contribs) which were identical to a single purpose account Bondibeachbabes (talk · contribs) yesterday (I didn't report them as the spamming stopped), the edits could clearly construed as vandalism as clearly aiming to spam an article, please check the information they were trying to insert, it is clear spam. I thought a better solution would be to apply semi protection to the page in question.}}
