Pure tone audiometry
Hi SilkTork, I notice you just redirected Pure tone audiometry to its parent, Audiometry. I believe that this article is going to be expanded soon, since its creator made this comment, indicating it is a work in progress. Perhaps it should not be redirected at this point? Prodego talk  14:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I'll get in touch with the editor and offer assistance when he/she/they are ready to proceed. The page was simply a "watch this space". I'll suggest they use the sandbox or a user page if they want to experiment with making a page. SilkTork 14:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Answer to a question on the Help Desk
Hey,

You answered a question on the help desk regarding Gailimh's sysop status, and said "There is something weirder in that log, see if you can find it ;-)." in reference to the sysop logs.

I'm just curious to know what you where referring to as "something weirder" on the logs. Don't suppose you'd mind telling me? --`/aksha 14:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC) —The preceding comment was added by Saintmagician (talk • contribs)


 * Who do I reply to? Anyway, the answer is to look up Ed Poor. Prodego  talk  21:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

VP
I am having a problem with VP AGAIN!!!!! The problem is that every time I click on something in the application, an error message appears that says "Unexpected call to method or property access". Do you know any possible solutions to this problem, or should I report it to the VPRF bug page?

Got a couple of minutes?
Looking over your talk page I realize you're likely up to your eyeballs already, but you were extremely helpful in the past and I was wondering if I could borrow those eyeballs for a few minutes? You can reply here, I'll see it in my watchlist. Maury 00:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Certainly. What can I do for you? Prodego  talk  02:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Would you mind taking a look at the edit history and talk page for de Havilland Comet? A editor has constructed a rather elaborate conspiracy theory and is attempting to insert it into the article, and the only thing that has stopped it so far is the constant editing by a handful of editors. He appears to be unwilling to accept that the wiki is not the sort of place for this It is possible that the problem is solving itself at this point, only time will tell. But if it continues, something needs to be done, but I really don't know what part of the bureaucracy to invoke. Maury 13:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, you can read just about anything in his entire edit list: It's filled with a number of instances of name calling for one thing. That's how I learned of it, I have been editing a number of articles with BZuk over the past few months and noticed these comments. I later saw that BZuk was not the only person to be disparaged in this general fashion. I left a message on his talk page that said this sort of behaviour is not acceptable.
 * But the bigger problem are the edits themselves. The statements fly in the face of every published reference any of us have ever seen. This is an example, one that can be easily found to be incorrect. When adding this again after it was RVed, he claimed he was "correcting pro-Nazi vandalism by those wishing to use Wikipedia as a vehicle for German propaganda". Then in the Me 262 article he made the same claim, , commenting "BZuks' astonishing ignorance and bias, possibly reflecting his anti-British prejudice...".
 * In the case of the Comet, he has constructed a lengthy conspiracy theory combining the CIA and ex-Nazi bomb experts who blew up the airliners (for no explained reason). He also claims that some sort of outgrowth of this same group has more recently attempted to blow up the Space Shuttle, an attempt which he personally stopped. I'm not joking, he's put it all on the talk page here:
 * What does one do in these situations? Maury 21:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well it seems to have worked! I posted a note suggesting everyone take a day off on the article (myself included) to see what would happen, and all the activity seems to have died off. Fingers crossed... Thanks for the advice! Maury 23:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Urgent notice
Please delete JzG's recent post on the User Talk page of Chicagostyledog, as well as the record of it in the edit history. It contains a disclosure of personal information that violates the Wikipedia privacy policy. Dino 03:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

User:AmiDaniel/VP/Approval is backlogged a week. If you have time, I'm on the list and would be interested in seeing the backlog cleared. Thanks! --N Shar 18:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Rv on my talk page
Thanks for the revert on my talk page; just so you're aware, it was just a friend of mine making an edit so I had a usermessage box to play with for a new script I'm working on... he was supposed to make a normal post, but I guess he just decided to inject a big image instead. I wasn't being attacked by vandals or anything. Thanks! ~ Topaz ♪ ♫ ∆ 21:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:AN/I per Daniel Brandt
Thank you for pointing that out, I needed to flesh out my thought more -- what happen just irrates me. It's like seeing a valuable user just tossed into the garbage for trying to do the right thing, albeit in the wrong way. Just Heditor review 00:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Question
Is my username really too similar to EssJay's? In my opinion, I think my name looks dissimilar since it has an extra Jay in front and doesn't start with the letter E. Jay seems to be a commonly used letter combination too. But if a name change is necessary, I will do so. How dissimilar must a name be in order to be acceptable? JayEsJay 05:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks Prodego for answering my query about changing the username on talk pages and suggesting a redirect. Is it possible to cut and paste the old talk page onto the new page as I have lost all my discussion? Natalie West 21:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC) Thanks very much for doing that for me as I have no idea how to cut and paste, or move a page. It's a funny coincidence that Flex who welcomed me originally, also left the message on my new talk page, so nothing is missing. Natalie West

Heh. Either "(note, approved non-sysops have not been added to the list yet)" is wrong or my name shouldn't be up there ("yet") :P – Chacor 14:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, hopefully I'll pass my next RFA (which should be live in a few weeks) and this will be a moot point. :P – Chacor 14:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
