ForestH2 Not a silly question at allOK, I apologize for this "silly question," but I feel compelled to ask. While I was actively editing an article at Wikipedia (a little before 8:00 pm Central Daylight Time) all of the sudden, all the blue Wikipedia "links" became blue and underlined. OK--silly question time: Why did this happen? Was this vandalism? Or did the Wiki-Administrators order a system-wide change over? Please tell me what happened, please? Thank you in advance. 01:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)~ User:ProfessorPaul
It can happen while you are:
You might want to run a anti-virus program, just in case. Computer viruses and other malicious programs can take a big bite of your computers memory. Do you still have the same problem or did it go away? --Eivindt@c 01:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC) Hey, after a few minutes, the problem "fixed" itself. But thank you for responding to me. I really enjoy Wikipedia. Editing it is my "recreation." :) ProfessorPaul 01:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, it is OK nowThank you for responding so quickly; the problem seems to have fixed itself. :) Thanks again. ProfessorPaul 01:31, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the link on my user page...Happy Editing. ForestH2 Please provide edit summariesWhen editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -Will Beback 05:38, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
US Illegal ImmigrationYou did a great job in helping this article along. It is quite an achievement to change and improve something like this, without having POV disputes etc. Well done! wallie 22:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC) Thanks Wallie!Thanks, Wallie. I appreciate that. I am not finished yet, and I will continue to work on that article with NPOV. :) ProfessorPaul 02:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Twilight ZoneNice informative work with your Twilight Zone episode edits. Thanks! Travisl 01:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC) Merger ProposalI have proposed that the Lyle H. Boren article you recently created be merged with the Lyle Boren article I created back in January, 2005. --TommyBoy 05:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC) I have re-established Lyle H. Boren as a redirect page. You may want to check that page's edit histoey to ensure that information you included in that article is included in the Lyle Boren article. --TommyBoy 19:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC) Concerning the Twilight ZoneSure! I'd be happy to help! I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia and I'll do anything I can to make it better. Just let me know what I can do. By the way, just out of curiosity, why did you choose me? --Tuspm [Leave A Message] 22:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC) About the 13 Illuminati Bloodlines ArticleI know that you have just added some links onto the article. That is good job. Thank you. But the main problem still remains; I need to find people who are experienced with good writing, NPOV, and formatting to write out the best article possible for the 13 Illuminati Bloodlines. I prefer explanations on the history of each bloodline, where they are from, and what each bloodline is currently doing. I hope it is possible for you to help me find good edittors, writers, and administrators who are experienced with Wikipedia, and are able to ensure that the article works out to be the best. It may sound as if though I am not a good writer. I am a good writer, the only problem is that I need the fire to start in order to give me some idea of what to write about. Also - since I already know too much, I may be too biased, so please help me to write the best possible article on Wikipedia - in 3 years - FEATURED ARTICLE! Thanks. --Lord X 17:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)USer:Xinyu
216.244.12.76 I need to talk to youHi, I am an administrator, Xinyu, and I got a report from ProfesorPaul, about how you've been, "vandalizing" EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF The Twilight Zone. Discuss your intentions, what you have editted, fixed up, and under what pretext you have for doing so. I need you to tell me all the information you can get, and I promise both you and ProfessorPaul, this problem would be negotiable, once the facts has been laid bare, and then I'll see that NPOV, justice, and peace would be restored on this article. Thank you, please reply on my user TALK page. Thank you. --Lord X 01:36, 20 June 2006 (UTC)User:Xinyu This way, we can solve this problem nice and early - in every single talk page where the discussions take place. Thanks for your cooperation. --Lord X 01:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)User:Xinyu
OK, so I’ve looked at some of User:216.244.12.76’s edits. I think that the editor did not state his or her intention well enough (or, for that matter, at all…), but, taken as a whole, the edits were apparently not in bad faith. I can think of several reasons related to WP:NPOV and WP:V to delete those sections; I’m not sure, however, whether that editor had these in mind. (As for section headings without any text to follow them, removing those was clearly a good thing.) Anyway, if you want to know more about vandalism and how to deal with it, see WP:VAND. I need support on AfD for 13 Illuminati BloodlinesThe article is posted for an AfD. We either need to fix it up more, or get more, "Verifiable." sources. Also, for or against deletion of article on Thirteen Illuminati Bloodlines? Thanks, you're my only support, considering everyone else wants the article to be deleted...Thanks. --Lord X 22:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)User:Xinyu Comma splicehttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2006_Israel-Lebanon_conflict&curid=6299613&diff=69913180&oldid=69912646 ISn't that unnecesary? The original sentence has the pre-comma clause as dependant with the use of "as that", so it is not a comma splice since it cannot stand by itself. -- Avi 23:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC) List of minority-opinion scientific theoriesGreat to hear your enthusiam, and thanks for the input on this article! —Pengo talk · contribs 13:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Nice adds on SynarJust wanted to say good adds... Tvccs 02:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Big Foot ExpansionWow, i really like how you expanded the whole article, there was no information before that, but could you cite your sources, like books, because the websites mentioned seem just like some inofficial sites...--Larzan 16:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC) NC16002 disappearanceI have deleted your last change to NC16002 disappearance. We don't really need to state the obvious in articles, like saying that someone who disappeared in a 1948 aircraft crash has been missing or presumed dead since. Also, all of those subheads in such a short article were overpowering. Furthermore, two of the subheads, The last flight, and The takeoff for Miami, actually preceded a paragraph which led with the previous flight (Miami to San Juan). Moriori 07:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC) Hi ProfessorPaul. Nice job on the edits you made on The Lincoln Conspiracy articles I started (wish I had thought of some of them). I had not heard anything previously about National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets. Although I am sure it will be crap for history (like the The Lincoln Conspiracy itself), I still look forward to viewing it. Thanks. Edeans 02:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Re: Vandalism at "Infamous" disambig pageThanks for taking care of that, ProfessorPaul. It seems like the user in question might be a bit confused about the page, so I've gone ahead and tried to clear things up. -- Natalya 03:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC) Ross Thomas (actor)Very nice work with Ross Thomas. I've removed the notability tag. All the best, Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC) The UnexplainedYour "wikifying" of The Unexplained is a bit excessive. The alphabetical sections are unnecessary and only clutter up the article--plus, they completely kill seeing how many episodes there are total, and have numbering themselves which is just excessively overly complicated. -Eep² 19:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC) Loomis fargo bank robberyI just want to say, it's a nice, well-written article.

Pastor Theo (talk) 00:51, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Blue/BourbonConsidering the comment you left at Talk:Bourbon Democrat is going on three years old, I suppose you've probably either found the answer or completely forgotten about it by now. But for what it's worth, I don't think the Blue Dogs trace their roots to the Bourbons, at least not directly. I suppose you could consider the 1924 election the Bourbons' proverbial beheading, but really, the conservative Southern wing of the party never truly died until the era of George Wallace gave way to that of Ronald Reagan. The Blue Dogs trace their heritage more to the Dixiecrats, both in being conservatives and in that their goal was to retake areas that had once been dominated by Democrats but subsequently switched to Republican in the same realignment that brought Strom Thurmond across the aisle. Sorry for the rant. Hope it was at least somewhat helpful. :) Recognizance (talk) 05:41, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
