103rd Congress

Sure. There'll have to be a lot of notes of party switches, besides Shelby and Campbell, there were also Deal of GA and Tauzin of LA and probably others I can't think of right now.

I'll work on compiling those.

Mass Media

Thanks. Any press releases in Asia? I feel as though we're all waiting for something... maybe a letup in the slowdown, or smoothing out of recent quirks. If that's not the case, there are some outlets I should be contacting... +sj+

Eh ! I agree with Sj on this. Anyway, thanks for your thanks :-) I'll try to listen the best I can, and hope my ears will be big enough :-) ~I started to make a draft on m:User:Anthere. Feel free to complete, comment, ask questions, suggest, request... I take it you did not really have time to do your trip, no ? Were holidays good ? SweetLittleFluffyThing

Thanks for your compliments, Fuzheado. Imran and I have sent the results to all of the candidates. We want them to know the results first and to approve that their results be published. Most have already indicated their approval, but we are still waiting for one or two more. At that time, the complete results will be made public. We do not have a breakdown by language, as some people have requested. Danny 02:09, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your support

Hi there! Just a short note to let you know that your vote in my favour (along with your kind words of support) in last week's sysop election meant a lot to me. I think Wikipedia is a great project, and I feel honoured to be able to play a small part in it. Again, thank you so much for your vote of faith in me. David Cannon 09:59, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Andrew

Andrew I need to get an email to whoever runs this site. Jimmy Wales right? Well, I wrote an email to that email address that is listed in the "contact" section. Don't think it works. Can you help me get in touch with whoever runs this site.

Yes, it's Jimmy Wales. However, I need to know who you are before I can send a request! Send me email using the "E-mail this user" link to the left. Fuzheado | Talk 08:19, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Crabs

I'm trying to figure out what your goal is with this whole crab thing. The article on blue crabs need not —indeed, should not— be a geography lesson. Anyone who wants to know where the Chesapeake is can click the link and find out. There is already ample mention of Maryland's pride in its crabs (I live in Baltimore, I should know how important the crab is around here!), and inserting the information right after "Cheasapeake Bay" disturbed the flow of that sentence. (See, that's the wonder of hyperlinking: you can make extra information available without actually inserting it into the text. ;) )

I still disagree that so much geography is necessary -- yes, wiki users are global, but they are also smart enough to know to click the link if they want more information!

Regardless, I undid some of the minor grammar/style changes made recently, with explanations in the discussion page. We need to start discussing there rather than beating the article back and forth. --tooki 06:57, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It was very rude of you to revert my additions to the Liberal Backlash article. As coiner of the term, Molly Ivins comments on the issue are relevant. Lirath Q. Pynnor

If you don't want me to take it "personally", that have the respect and common decency to talk to me...before going and deleting my contributions (without even bothering to inform me that you deleted them <--- how rude is that?) Have you read the editorial in which Ivins coined that term; I doubt it, because that quote is from the editorial. In fact, by deleting my contributions...you have deleted the page's only link to the editorial in which she refers to the "Great Liberal Backlash". Lirath Q. Pynnor

Hello Fuzheado there was a small article in the Bangkok Post database section of wednesday 28th of july. I already added it to the wikipedia newscoverage. You life in Hong Kong right? I sometimes go there to visit my parents in Disco bay. I life in Bangkok myself, but am Dutch, not Thai. If you ever get to BKK give me a shout! We are trying to arrange a BKKmeeting somewhere in November. Waerth 19:35, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Journal/periodical/feed summaries

Hi Fuz, are there journals you read regularly? You might be interested in this project: m:Wikisummaries. I think I will begin somewhere on en:, perhaps in my user space... +sj+ 23:57, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

After the discussion on Rfa, I read on your user page that you're a researcher of participatory journalism. This article published by Poynter Online may interest you "Wikipedia for Journalists," if you haven't seen it already. [1] 172 07:10, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Oh, well in that case, great work! I really enjoyed reading the article. 172 07:19, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A sneaking suspicion that you are following me

• I am quite fond of the revision you have made to the opening sentence of the Baptist War. My own were less grammatically inteligable. To my defence, massive revision w still in the planning. If I choose to continue to expand it, it seems likely that I would be in favour of retaining your revision.

• As you might have gathered, I am not pleased, with the manner in which you conducted yourself at the Kahan Commission article whereby you had unilaterally imposed your view on an item which was clearly not yet resolved. I am also displeased with very similar changes you have made to the Peel Commission as these entail a virtually identical issue.

I have yet to read the additional changes you have recently made to the other articles I authored. I could only hope for (the best) much of the former bulletin and none of the latter. I am all for dialogue, but I would request you refrain from a 'we, the wikipedia gods' overtones, as this too easily risks turning into monolgues. I urge you to have patience, it is likely we could reach a consensus. I must confess, as it stands, -this- is souring me of off wikipedia. El_C

Reason

My reason for adding the NPOV message:

Re:Asian Cup 2004

sorry for this late reply. I was in socal/vegas for a week and was internet deprived the entire time...but now i'm back. I head over to the article once i finish going over a 7 days worth of watchlist stuff (including various other disputes with Nanshu). Oh joy! --Jiang 11:46, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi, Fuzheado: Thanks for supporting my nomination as admin. And I'm frankly relieved to know that I can "hold the powers in reserve": I don't want to become a "power admin" (is that the right term?) if I can avoid it.... --Sewing 01:02, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You're welcome, Fuzzheado. That's a mistake we can all make easily:-) David Cannon 11:32, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Fuzheado: Thanks again for your support. I am now officially an admin. Though it seems as if some people don't think that admins should be allowed to simply "hold their powers in reserve," so I will try to actively participate in admin-type duties.... Yours, 山道子 (Sewing) - talk 13:52, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Image tag

You uploaded Image:Monkey batu.jpg back in January. Mind sticking one of the copyright license tags on it? -- Cyrius|✎ 04:24, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Ditto for Image:Xiamen china.jpg. I wasn't sure if you'd taken the image yourself or not, so it's {{unverified}} for now. Please switch it to {{GFDL}} or whichever licence you uploaded it under if appropriate. Thanks. Angela. 16:02, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)

Hello Fuzheado, I copied the image: Image:Phnom penh palace.jpg to the Dutch wiki, but now they have asked questions about the license? Is it your own work? Waerth 09:00, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Your source

What sources did you use to determine the quote in the MSNBC article was inaccurate. Please explain your methodology.

MSNBC

Fuzheado, here you go. What does not getting a hit in Google mean? A great deal of info is not in Google.

• Check the Fortune magazine article from Jul 8, 1996, p.120. You'll find my recent post about Bill Gates, Ted Turner there.

• The Rush Limbaugh commment was posted in a Washington Post article last week. Mr. Limbuagh dating Ms. Kagan was confirmed by Mr. Limbuaghs spokesperson.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58117-2004Sep3.html

• Since your're likely to edit this one, the quote from Ted Turner from the Fox News entry appeared on p.56, Broadcasting & Cable. New York: Dec 4, 1995. Vol. 125, Iss. 49.

Maestro Fresh Wes

Yo...noticed you deleted a page of that title. Just wanted to let you know I revived it as a redirect to Maestro (rapper) (Maestro Fresh Wes is the name he used to use), mainly to avoid the possibility of it being recreated again. Bearcat 06:57, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Edits

You asked me to cite my sources. I did this and it's not good enough. How do you verify material that is not on the web?

I don't have time today to find cites for every post. I provided cites for several items yesterday and I don't see any of the items placed back into the wikipedia. Also, if all you use to verify citations is the web, I feel sorry for all of the info not on the web. What other sources do you use?

Quality

Um, it was a long time ago... It's on the Meta thing somewhere, but I don't remember where. Adam 07:53, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Unblocking my IP

Thanks for unblocking me. I really wish there was a way to change my IP address but my ISP pretty much says my only option is to buy a new modem or a Mac. Cheers! 23skidoo 23:02, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Thai wikipedians' notice board

As you sometimes also edit about Thai topics, maybe that notice board is of interest for you as well. Another thing: do you know which of the temples you took the photo Image:Ayutthaya-old.jpg. I'm not fully sure, it looks like Wat Chaiwatthanaram. andy 21:03, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Re:Antics

Thankfully the guy doesn't frequent this site that often. I think I've given up trying to reason with him. Just revert a couple hours after he shows up and he's gone again... --Jiang 04:34, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Project

Your JMSC0101 students got noticed by User:Niteowlneils over at the Pump, probably because the username scheme sticks out. He seems to be a bit worried about another Dartmouth situation, although he also notes they're behaving themselves and not writing about frivolous topics like drinking games (although their grammar and formatting are a bit off). -- Cyrius|✎ 03:09, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Image copyright tag

Hi, I was asked to add image copyright tag to Image:Frontmap.gif which I uploaded during the new media course in fall 2003. I mentioned your permission in the image page; I hope it's alright. P.S. Thank you for introduing the Wikipedia to us which I think is really meaningful and interesting. Wish you every success in your teaching and research. -- Jim/Gakmo 07:00, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Image:Fudan university.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Fudan university.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 18:38, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...

1. ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
2. ...all articles...

using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. So far over 90% of people who have responded have done this.

Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}}. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know at my talk page what you think. It's important to know, even if you choose to do anything so I don't keep asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 14:25, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Please add copyright and other info to Image:Monterey_ca.jpg. See my recently added pix to the Monterey, California article for an example. Thanks, Leonard G. 23:21, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

RFC pages on VfD

Intelligent Design dispute

Thank you for commenting on that. I'm not quite sure how this is best handled, but because of the layers of reversion, the main dispute was invisible to you. The user charging "bad faith fraud" added the following to the top of the article: "The claims of the Intelligent design movement are regarded as pseudoscience by the vast majority of practicing biologists, and the scientific community asserts that ID has been repeatedly debunked. It's supporters are following a strategy known as the "wedge agenda" which is designed to produce the appearance of science, in order to convince school boards to force feed students a series of blatant lies in the name of teaching the controversy. The intelligent design movement is backed by the Christian Right and is connected with the Creationist movement.

ID supporters are completely unreasonable, and are fellow travellers with anti-science causes which are intent on disproving naturalism and uniformitarianism."

He also expanded the 5 bullet-point summary of anti-ID arguments to about 25 bullet-points, and has expressed outrage that the other editors found that to be an unreasonably long summary. (Of course, somebody weighed in to lengthen the pro-ID arguments in response, rendering the article absurdly unreadable.) Many of the editorial changes by others since he showed up have been immediately reverted by him, with no attempt at justification or negotiation on the talk page.

Please help! --BTfromLA 07:12, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi hello, would you (and perhaps your students as well) be interested to contribute to Current events in Hong Kong and Macao? best, — Instantnood 11:06, Jan 27 2005 (UTC)

HK

Fuzheado (how to pronounce by the way), would you mind help explaining to this guy who's made some reversions on airline destinations articles, List of metro systems and List of official languages by country? I guess he's strongly believed that Hong Kong and Macao are just ordinary provinces or autonomous regions, or with the same status, of the People's Republic of China. - Privacy 18:39, Jan 28 2005 (UTC)

Malformed VfDs

Hi, you just left a couple of malformed VfD entries on this page. I'll take a whack at fixing them unless you'd like to. Android79 03:49, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)

not MIT school cheer

here is the first proof that it is not simply an MIT cheer... http://userpages.umbc.edu/~dni1/humor/lists/mathsci/math14.shtml

the rest of the info appears to not be available on the web, but its a well known piece of cmu lore the archives here at cmu show it going bach to at least the mid 60's as the official cheer of CIT... soon after that, many other colleges adopted versions of this cheer, e.g. MIT

none of them, however, have made it an official cheer in its full state, it does however appear as "part" of the mit crew launching call. this is not by any means the "school cheer" as the artical states, however it is the official cheer of the CIT school at cmu.

the one given lists wpi rit and other schools with unofficial cheers that are copies, google the text of the cheer i put in the article and your first hit will be kiltie band, the cmu marching band, who list it as "Ye olde CIT chant" you will also find several other sources relating it as the same... also, no MIT pages list the other cheer as the official "school cheer" only two even reference it, and one of them is as part of the crew launch call

however, memorizing nine is not memorizing pi, thats like saying memorizing all the vowels aids you in remembering the sequence of words that makes up tolstoy's war and peace. it is rediculous. piphilology pertains to aiding the memorization of pi, usually as a mnemonic... any other form is valid, but the CIT/MIT crew/WPI/RPI cheer is not a pertinent example, as it does not aid in the understanding of the common usage of the term. said common usage does not include that cheer, or the memorizing of the memorizing of the first six digits, as most people can recite them from memory... the average human can easily store 7 digits in stort term memory, and transfer it to long term memory without repetition, that's why phone numbers in area are 7 digits therefore there is no need for a method to learn the first six digits of pi.

vendetta against accurate information

look, im very proud that you can lookup my isp... big wooh, i mentioned "here at CMU" earlier, so its not really a suprise. I am currently an undergrad at cmu, my best friend and girlfriend both go to MIT. I got accepted at both but chose CMU for the Scholarship they offered me. I attended MIT Splash every year of my highschool career. it should be obvious by now that i have no grudge against MIT. i do have a grudge against your quick offhanded remark about CMU, as I know many people who did grad or undergrad work at MIT and now work/attend CMU... the supposed emnity against MIT at CMU is nonsence, many of our professors graduated from MIT. now that doesn't change the fact that when i searched i got more hits from the CIT version of the cheer than the MIT version... (making the most common comment invalid) and that i know the facts of the history, and that it is not a valid example of piphilology anyhow. there is no reason to argue for the sake of arguing, lets simply remove the worthless pertion of text and go on with our lives.

back at you

its not vandalizing, its simply adding a fastive message... i did not harm the page by adding the words happy pi day, i enhanced the readers experience... this would have been vandalism if i did not say i would remove it at midnight, because, until then, it was relevent information... therefore your revert was technically incorrectly removing relevant data... as you also edited the same page more than three times, you could be susceptible to the same ban, as more than three of your edits (infact if you read the earlier portion, this applies to all your edits) were not revertions of "simple vandalism"... now you have an account... that's comething you can't change when blocked... i have simply an ip, i can change that at will... so don't make pointless threats...

my overall point is because i stated that i would remove the information when it became irrelevant, i was not vandalizing, and you shouldn't "inform" people of violations you also committed.

i think you have missed the fact that their concurrence does not alter the fact that your later posts were not removing vandalism, and you went over the thre edits limit... ergo you lose... of course i am the same person... does it suprise you that i can change my ip?? i simply did not want a second ban from foolish killjoys... i can continue to change my ip within the confines of the range available to any cmu student, so to block me, an admin would need to block cmu... something i do not think they would do... anyway, you are extremely condescending and immature for someone who is "researching" wikipedia... did you need some easy grant money or something... since when does the researcher actively alter his experiment because he doesn't like a trait of it... your "research" seems very loosely defined...

btw, before starting another edit war over a simple unnecessary fact (where your opinion is unverified, i may add) you should heed the chinese proverb about adding legs to the snake.

in any event, this is most likely my last message to you, i have a life outside of computers, and no longer wish to entertain myself with the antics of posters who remove valid data (both the cmu post and the pi-day bit) to pander to their oversized ego's and overrated intelligence.

WP:3RR

I reverted your changes. "If discussion is not showing progress, then and only then should the three revert rule be invoked and a user ban occur." is a signifact change in the enforcement of the policy, and will require some discussion first.

User:HappyApple

Sigh. Complex reverts. Jayjg ^(talk) 02:07, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I have to talk in defence of my friend:

The problem between HappyApple and this page can be traced since the creation of the article itself. HappyApple is the user that started the article.

• Suddenly, another user appears and erased most of his contributions, most of the time without even disscuss them. We manage to made him disscuss on the talk page, but User:Viajero waved war against HappyApple and started all this revert war, since the explanations that HappyApple used for his modifications were "not good enought" for Viajero.
• User:Viajero is a narow-minded person that have threatening HappyApple in several articles, not only the one that you protected. In several other Talk pages, Viajero has shown a complete lack of respect towards HappyApple, in some occations threatening him with ban him or blocked him (wich you can see on HappyApple's Talk page).
• User:Viajero has not proved to be a very reliable person, since most of the time (as you can see if you look at some peruvian-related articles) attacks to almost anyone who doesn't share his POV. Right now he is also involved in another controversy in the Alberto Fujimori talk page.
• It is not fair for HappyApple to be railroaded by other experimented user. However, I also acknoledge that he has some mistakes (like the name of his University, its efforts to anglicanise them) and I'm working to evade those.

Please feel free to leave a comment in my talk page. I hope that all this can be solved in a very diplomatic way. Messhermit 02:29, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Never trust the popular media

...to report on the law accurately. The true "official name" is too long to have as the article title, because it includes all the parties involved. LEXIS reports the proper short name as MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd.. Westlaw doesn't even abbreviate "MGM", but reports it as "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd." I always prefer LEXIS, though Westlaw may be correct on that point, but at any rate the case name must include the "Inc. and "Ltd." That is the proper citation format according to the Bluebook, and that is how future cases will cite to the decision. Please refix all the redirects that I had corrected. Thank you.

Matrixism vandal

FYI, I've added the two pages to Wikipedia:Most vandalized pages. Fuzheado | Talk 06:16, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I also posted both pages at Wikipedia:Requests for protection, since I don't think we can ban the entire 66.x.x.x and 69.x.x.x IP ranges (the vandal responsible is a dynamic IP, as you know). Maybe if we protect the articles the vandal will read the talk page and try to make a case for himself instead of constantly reverting. Or maybe he'll stop, get a life, and stop advertising made-up religions on Wikipedia. Philwelch 06:21, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
