| I think you sent me a warning by mistake. I'm the fellow who added the "On The Road" comment (Reinhold Cacoethes) in the "Beat Generation" section of the "Kenneth Rexroth" article. For a while there, I was a bit confused, and thought you to be one of those crack-pots and half-wits that watch over a Wiki-entry as their own personal fiefdom and who add and subtract factual information when it does not jibe with their own fawning tendencies and/or distorted world-views.

| ==Why I restored the "Las Vegas" comment== | |||
| I think it raises a very relevant point, namely what defines vaudeville? Vaudeville-like entertainment has never vanished entirely, and I think there's a case to be made that live entertainment in general, and shows featuring a series of short, separate performances in particularly, are experiencing a bit of a revival. Are Las Vegas shows in fact vaudeville without the name, or, if not, why not? ] ] 15:38, 17 June 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ==Signs== | |||
| Hi, why did you say that ] was not about an alien invasion and delete it from ]? Are there any statements by Shyamalan or others involved with the movie's making to suggest something other than this straightforward interpretation, which is assumed by the Signs[REDACTED] article? If not I think it should probably stay, there are plenty of reviews which refer to them as aliens and which would qualify as reliable sources. ] (]) 17:04, 17 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :"I will defer to your opinion on the matter. My main point is that, unlike "War Of The Worlds" or "Independence Day," "Signs" does not show an alien invasion. At most, there are mysterious indications, and then---perhaps---one alien. It simply does not seem the same. But, do what you like. Cheers!" | |||
| ::Thanks. On the point about numbers, I'd just note that although we only saw a few of the creatures in the movie, the characters did see television reports that they were appearing all over the world and attacking humans, and towards the end of the movie it was reported that "the battle turned around in the Middle East" when "three small cities there found a primitive method to defeat them" (i.e. found the creatures were allergic to water--getting the quotes from ).

| :Well, I don't think ] allows us to say which is the "true" anarchism. I personally know lots of anarchocapitalist types who also refer to themselves as anarchists, but of course the black-flag-waving anarchists would disagree because of the difference on property rights. Since both classes of ideologues use the term fairly often in reference to themselves I would say that the category should include both sorts of anarchist simply as a matter of common usage. Going deeper and coming up with the "answer" for Misplaced Pages purposes would be a ]/] problem too, I think.

| == Can you help me? == | |||
| I wonder if you can help me with a problem I have. I've been following the edits of the ISP editor ], and I have reverted the majority of them because they generally do not improve the articles. They're not vandalism, per se, but they substitute stilted or convoluted language for more straight-forward and understandable constructions. At times, they actually change the meaning of things, such as changing "presenting", the medical term in the article about ], into "present." In an film article, the words of a direct quote were changed. You reverted this editor's work in the ] article, so I think you can get a sense from that about what I mean.<p>As I say, if the edits aren't in good faith, they're a particularly insidious form of vandalism, because they would likely pass muster a significant percentage of the time, since they're close enough to being acceptable that they don't draw attention to themselves.<p>My question is -- where do I go with this problem?

| Hello; I was wondering if you would know the answer to a question I have. | |||
| I have a book which has an image of an old painting of Murrough O'Brien (an important Irish figure of the 17th C.) I want to add the picture to the Murrough O'Brien page. | |||

| Hello RepublicanJacobite from Belfast- I am sorry that you do not like the additions I made to the article, I thought that a few pictures would make the section more interesting rather than simply a photograph of St Patrick's Cathedral; what does St Patrick's Catedral have to do with that section anyway? - The reasons in particular for selecting those 2 ladies is simply; they are well known, whether individulas like or dislike them they are legends and more recognisable then most, their Irish connections are documented and verifibale through references, they have identified themselves as Irish American at various stages in their lives that is recorded in print, at stages through their careers in film and music have contributed to Irish American culture and finally the photographs do not infringe on[REDACTED] copyright rules. Why not select them? They are as worthy as any and to include them does not devalue the others. I intended to add some photographs in the other sections as well because as the saying goes " a picture is worth a thousand words". I believe that these photographs or indeed any in that section would be an improvement but am not going to engage in an editing war over it. I don't understand why the references to these 2 individulas was also removed as references are a positive additions to all[REDACTED] articles.] (]) <small>—Preceding ] comment was added at 07:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)</small><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded. | |||

I say this not to attack you, but as someone that has respect for your edit history and a great appreciation for your tireless efforts in fighting vandalism on many of the pages that I watch.

| :Yes, I lost my temper over something of no great importance. But, to be clear, my first edit was to revert what I saw as the removal of sourced material by an editor with very few edits. Then, I reverted twice more, with what I felt were clear edit summaries, so I was not in violation of 3RR. I had no intention of reverting a fourth time. The other editor, Arzel, suggested I "take it to talk" when he reverted me the 2nd time, but the talk page discussion indicated he had been outvoted, which I mentioned in my 3rd edit summary. When he reverted again, I lost my temper. What I said to him was over the line, I admit that, and I am sorry. Clearly, it was not the proper response. ---<font face="Celtic">]<sub>'']''</sub></font> 01:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC) | |||

| :::I did not have anything to do with the material being added to the article in the first place, ], I was merely reverting the removal of sourced material. After that things escalated. I read the argument ] made on the talk page, was not swayed by it, and honestly believed he was trying to remove the material because he simply did not like it. The majority of those commenting on the talk page disagreed with his argument. Furthermore, Daily Kos was not the only source quoted, so the argument that it was inadequate on its own seemed to be beside the point. The allegation that I was intentionally edit-warring and pushing false information with inadequate sources is not quite accurate. I was reverting what seemed to me to be deletion of valid material that other editors had defended. | |||

Unfortuately, this aspect continues to be pushed giving the impression that there is something to hide, some scandal in that she really was a member. This kind of stuff really needs to be nipped in the bud for BLP reasons, and to keep these rumor from propogating themselves. As a side note, I have been to Ireland.
