Spoo headersWhy do you want those two ArticleHistory entries on one line? It's a lot easier to read if everything is on its own line, that's how it's normally used. Also, I don't think that {{Talkheader}} is really needed there. It's only for talk pages that are very active or have policy problems, and that isn't the case here.

Your edit comments.I'm curious - which encyclopedias have you read? Tedickey (talk) 13:39, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
your comment on the Immaterium for its deletionin one of your comment you said that it was stolen by GW from dune dune hyperspace GW Immaterium/warp names are not the same and dune hyper dont have horrific monsters in it. it is not affected by sentient beings thoughts dune travvel is intentanoeus i belive Immaterium/warp can get lost for years at a time. dune works by folding normal space not entering another plane is not full of eddies and time eddies thus you can go for a to b and take 1week do it anothertime it could take 1year if ur caught up. hyperspace is also used by stargate and Babylon 5 so they ripped it even more this aint anything personal just wanted to correct what i thought was wrong with wat you said. if im wrong and the dune hyper is full of monsters i withdraw this but they are very different -- Thebobman56 00:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
QuestionUmm, how can translating parts of the text in EPSXe to German be considered "vandalising"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.141.212 (talk) 00:29, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Stop vandalizing SQLProI just removed improper mark from SQLPro article put by SQLPro competitors. The article follows all Wikipedia guidelines and should not be marked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strannikk (talk • contribs) 17:58, 27 October 2008
You reported 74.9.248.130 to AIV as having vandalized after a final warning. Please check over WP:WARN to see the various block templates and learn about escalating blocks. Although the user had been repeatedly warned, there were no warnings above level one or two. Level three warnings introduce block warnings, and level four warnings are the final. Let me know if you have any questions. لennavecia 19:53, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Removal of coloured backgrounds of headings You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Sidebar, talk archivesHi again. Thanks for the note re the above; I've just left some thoughts there. You can find my talk page as it stood in previous months by looking for the "-- CLEARING POSTS BEFORE [month year] --" edits in its history. Sardanaphalus (talk) 13:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC) Malwarebytes' Anti-MalwareREALLY trying to be NPOV and not advertising (and I know some of the stuff there is a bit overzealous). I want to make it good, and I want your opinion. Should we be looking for negative reviews of A-M (balance issue), or should I just trim the most gung-ho stuff that's already there to make it more neutral-sounding? (encyclopedic voice issue) -Fredgoat (talk) 00:27, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Criticism templateThanks for splitting that! I had just completed an hour's search for a better link, but as NPOV and Words To Avoid have both changed considerably, I came up empty. The split to an essay is a nice solution. Altairah (talk) 12:33, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
XyzzzyI have removed the {{Notability}} template you placed on the Xyzzy article. I have introduced additional citations to show it is the cannonical magic word in computing, and that it is a bad choice for a password. Although I don't have citations for it, Adventure was the computer game in the 1970s, and the very first computer game for the IBM Personal Computer model 5101; you could order it with the computer (and I did). Xyzzy was clearly the most important magic word in that game. --Gerry Ashton (talk) 20:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Happy Halloween!As Halloween is my favorite holiday, I just wanted to wish those Wikipedians who have been nice enough to give me a barnstar or smile at me, supportive enough to agree with me, etc., a Happy Halloween! Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 14:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC) Remaining calmSensible advice. Thanks. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 15:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC) Format of the uw-series templatesHello. I noticed your edits to several of the uw-series of warning templates. Are you aware that as per consensus at WP:UW and WP:UTM, we do not use hard-coded icon justification on any of the uw-series as they prevent the recommended layout from working? --Kralizec! (talk) 16:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
GNU/LinuxI don't think saying "Linux" is being neutral at all. By saying either of the terms you are not being neutral at all: you either pick rms' side or Linus' side. Linux is not an OS, it's a kernel. Wikipedia would be giving the wrong information to its readers if the "Linux" term keeps being used instead of the "GNU/Linux" term. It is plain wrong to refer to an OS by its kernel's name. I agree with your project of consistency and that is why I changed all the articles and not just one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.55.88.19 (talk) 02:31, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
OpenSSI and 500 MB linksGood call. I suppose the guy who added the link to the vmware image means well, which is why I hesitated to remove it myself, but really... HughesJohn (talk) 12:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
On Edit in BOSSThanks! I have made made the necessary changes. Krishnachandranvn (talk) 16:28, 1 November 2008 (UTC) 'Merge' of Defunct CompanyThere does seem to be a problem with the redirect. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 16:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Another editor closed the peer review (which had significant commentary) and listed the article at WP:FAC, apparently without consulting with you, a significant contributor. Please let me know if you would like for me to withdraw the nomination until you're ready. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC) Enigma LinksHi Chris, Please check my last comments at the Enigma discussion page about removed links. I believe that making it impossible for users to add valuable links is a mistake that dosn't credit Wikipedia.Dirk (talk) 18:28, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
never mindI guess it's resolved now, right? No hard feelings. --dab (𒁳) 16:10, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
WotCHave a look at what I've done so far at Wizards of the Coast. :) BOZ (talk) 04:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Wizards of the Coast has been successfully promoted to GA status! :) Thanks for your support on this and the EGG article. I was also thinking of nominating Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms; see the project talk page for discussion on that. BOZ (talk) 19:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC) Chris Burke (actor)Why would you remove something from a wikipedia article that was seen by millions of viewers? Why would you protect a violent racist? Why do YOU threaten retaliantion against anyone who doesn't see things your way? You don't even live in this country, so why are you so bent on prtotecting the image of a racist retard has-been actor and current lousy singer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.167.114.32 (talk) 11:46, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
The next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Chris Burke (actor), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
i found the answer on my own. wikipedia says "...it is essential that a determined effort be made to eliminate defamatory and other undesirable information from these articles as far as possible. On the other hand Wikipedia's standing and neutrality must not be compromised by allowing the editing of articles to show a bias in their subject's favor...". which is what YOU Are doing - showing bias in his favor. you are electing to delete history. you have taken it upon yourself to personally ensure that anyone who hasn't seen the clip on TV will never read about it on wikipedia. i'll be certain to report YOU as quickly as you have shown me the same disrespect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.167.114.32 (talk) 12:10, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
SQLiteThanks for your comments and "tidying" up of the SQLite page. I am a bit concerned that that Sdfisher will try to reverse our changes as it seems he has in the past based on his belief that consistency has something to do with enforcing referential integrity. Cmbeelby (talk) 14:44, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Red Alert 3Thanks for clearing up the securom controversy. I have added the source has you requested. Could you check. Is this website working for you?. It says network timeout for me. --SkyWalker (talk) 14:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

SidebarHi. In case you're still interested in this template's development, I've posted an update pointing to a plainer basic test version of Sidebar that I've justed started. The preceding post (edited), although bulky, is an attempt to address the varying-parameter-names issue. (In short, I can see why different names have arisen, so, rather than remove them, feed them as alternatives to a (hidden) set of names common to Navbox/Infobox/Sidebar: name, title1, title2, image1, image2, above, headingX, labelX, dataX, below.) Sardanaphalus (talk) 03:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject: Dungeons & DragonsHi! I’ve been working on a lot of ‘’Dungeons & Dragons’’ articles lately and saw that you've edited some too, and am inviting you to join Wikipedia’s D&D group. I've been hard at work removing tags placed inappropriately on D&D articles, as well as modifying articles to remove tags that were placed legitimately. In addition, I have been compiling related articles together so that the articles are longer, making it easier to remove tags and to have short articles on lesser topics by just putting it into another appropriate article (links to such compiled articles can be found on my userpage). Check out the project here , and ask any questions that you may have here. Thank you for your time. Drilnoth (talk) 21:05, 7 November 2008 (UTC) Template:Explain-inoteActually we're waiting on IronGargoyle, who is going to have his bot orphan the template. It's being used on well over 100 articles. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 11:14, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Space-related infobox mergesGlad to see you are working on these merges...to be frank, its been on my to-do list but I haven't been able to make time for it. How many others are you working to merge into Infobox Spacecraft? I know we currently have headers for "Instruments" and "Orbital elements" (which I think should be changed to "Orbital data" for clearer reading), but perhaps additional ones such as "Launch data" and "Spacecraft data" for the generic stuff, a section for Moon-specific material, and if/when Infobox Telescope is merged in, a section just for the telescope data. Basically, things just feel clutters and tossed about right now, and sectioning will help organise the info. Any thoughts? — Huntster (t • @ • c) 10:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on Infobox Spacecraft! Please remember to update the documentation Template:Infobox_Spacecraft/doc - Ravedave (talk) 20:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC) iPod touchWould it be juvenile of me to change "We use the standard rules of English (except the iSomething part) to name products." to "We use the standard rules of English (except the ones we don't) to name products."? Just seeking confirmation. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 21:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Fallout 3Hi - I've been looking at expanding the leader section of the Fallout 3 article following your tagging. Could you comment on the changes I've made and indicate whether there is room for further improvement? Cheers. Nick Ottery (talk) 12:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
