Vandalism?
We can have a difference of opinion as to whether or not the title, "the Great" should be appended to JPII, but it is either rude or ignorant of you to describe my placement of that title as vandalism. There are millions of people who agree that this pope should be only the 3rd or 4th in history to be so named, and in no way is it vandalism to call him that. On the contrary, I can make a much stronger case that it is vandalism (and perhaps anti-Catholic) on your part to remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.218.205.145 (talk) 22:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC) What is your problem, Magnus? Do you even know what vandalism is? Do you define it as anything that you've never heard of before? You are really a piece of work.


 * The point is that it is information backed purely by original research or opinion. If you can provide a valid resource that proves the inclusion of your edits, please cite your sources and the information will stay in the article.  However, this is an encyclopaedia and, as such, should contain only verifiable information.  Please see NOR and MOS.  I'll be happy to discuss this with you, but please keep the information in the article verifiable.  Thanks!  — Archon Magnus (Talk 22:59, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Omigod you are such a MORON! Citing the "living persons" policy regarding John Paul II and his predecessors! They're all DEAD, you fucking idiot. Now at least I won't take offense to your idiotic reverts, because I can see that you don't know any better!


 * I know that Pope John Paul II has passed; however, there exists a Wikipedia template regarding the insertion of controversial, unverified, or outright false information into biographies that is otherwise applicable to the edits you are making. I stand by decision to revert your edits until you have a valid source to cite with the pertinent information.  As always, I'll be happy to discuss this with you and help you to improve the article as needed.  However, please leave keep to fact rather than personal opinion and bias, as this is an encyclopaedia.  Thanks.  — Archon Magnus (Talk 02:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Slave Hack notability
Yep, basically you nailed it, what it really needs is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" as WP:GNG says. If you know of any articles or reviews in major gaming magazines, websites, etc., that would be a great addition and go a long way towards establishing notability. --Stormie (talk) 03:34, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Warning
Stop this. Now. --Deskana (talk) 00:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you please explain your demand? I happened to notice several names that seemed similar and was trying to prevent a user from personal attacks.  If there is an error, I do apologize, but if so could you please explain how I was in error?  I'm sorry for the trouble, but as I stated earlier, I was assuming the worst.  — Archon Magnus (Talk 00:48, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Preventing personal attacks by accusing NawlinWiki of creating a load of attack accounts attacking himself? In my expert opinion, you may be off your rocker. --Deskana (talk) 00:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) All of these accounts were created to harass NawlinWiki, one of our most active administrators. I understand your intentions, but at a glance this looked like a bad-faith effort on your part. Please be very, very careful with accusations of sockpuppetry in future. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that's what I thought. I was about ready to block you, ArchonMagnus. I suggest you be more careful in the future. --Deskana (talk) 00:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Like I said, I'm sorry. I don't know to whom the "real" account belongs.  I don't know NawlinWiki from any of the other Nawlins that were listed, and assumed someone was attempting foulery.  I'm glad that the matter was settled, but I was merely trying to help.  Apparently, I succeeded in only discouraging myself.  Thanks anyway.  I'll stay away from WP:SSP for a while.  — Archon Magnus (Talk 00:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Friendly advice: please read Sock puppetry. Always remember to check editors' user pages and contribution history before jumping to any conclusions about them, and never assume the worst—leave that to folks who've been around here longer :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:03, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem was that you didn't look at user creation logs or contributions. NW's first edit was June 2005 (the user creation log cannot catch usernames created before a certain date). Every other account was created in at least 2006 (Nawlin was created in October 2006), so the likelihood that Nawlin's the sockmaster here is nil. I also heavily doubt an administrator would make deliberately-attacky names against himself; NawlinWiki's a known JarlaxleArtemis target. -Jéské Couriano (v^_^v) 01:08, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see that now. I do apologize to NawlinWiki and see that I made a mistake.  I am usually here reverting vandalism, that's what I feel more confortable with anyway.  I really let my newb-ness show that time (please don't WP:BITE.)  Sorry for the screw-up, everyone.  — Archon Magnus (Talk 01:21, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Null persperation, chummer, just do everyone a favor and next time you file an SSP report, do some research first, okay? -Jéské Couriano (v^_^v) 04:27, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy tagging
I am wondering about this. You stated in the edit summary that it may not meet WP:N, but you have also added A1 speedy tag. It does not meet the criteria because the context is clearly stated. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 12:56, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Black Dog, Barghest
Hi just wanted to leave you a quick message to say I'd like to chat to you about the Black Dog. I am very busy at the moment with work as have just started a new job but will leave my E-mail address which I check nearly every day if would like to exchange some E-mails on the subject. I saw the Balck Dog when i was a child about 12 yrs old and can remember evrything in alot of detail. This ocurred in East Anglia but very far from the coast where the dog is normally seen in folklore but is in keeping with the locations that it seems to appear in Cornwall and Devon on Heathland and moorland and other wild places that are not urban or true agricultural land. My E-mail is neptunesangel@hotmail.co.uk and my name is Carlos. Please get back to me at your conveinance to discuss in greater detail.

Battle of the Boyne
Is the question mark on the title "A sectarian battle" really necessary? The discussion of the legitimacy of term sectarian should be held within the paragraph itself, not in its title. An encylopedia of your caliber should not be subject to such sloppy usage of titles.

Good Day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.123.37.194 (talk) 15:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. You should place your concerns in the article's discussion page at Talk:Battle of the Boyne.  My reversion was primarily due to the edit you did here.  I would recommend addressing your concern in the discussion page and one of the editors that is familiar with the topic will help you.  If you have any other questions or concerns, please let either myself or another editor know.  Thanks!  — Archon Magnus (Talk 15:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Dear ArchonMagnus,

Thank you for undo-ing my edit! We are teachers in a class on teaching children to validate their sources of information. Our group was trying to show how easy it is to edit Wikipedia and that it can't be trusted, but you proved us wrong. We were going to delete it in a few minutes anyway.

quick reversion/ nonsense article
Dear Mr Fieldday:ArchonMagnus, I tried to edit (in a very negative way- but wait) an article on the "Bowen Technique", related to an article on Frozen Shoulder. At Frozen Shoulder I removed the reference to "Bowen Technique" because the reference did not make sense. When I went to "Bowen Technique" I said the article "is nonsense", because it was poorly framed and referenced. Most of the discussion says the same thing. In fact, what I considered doing was to nuke the whole article. I got a very quick, and I think automatic, reversion, saying something like I ought to read the instructions because my comment was not constructive. Where to start. If the article had referred to a completely discredited therapy, should we have a debate about its' usefulness? Or should we just nuke it? I'm new at this, and not dogmatic about it, but I think we should excise the whole article. Why should we keep it in Wikipedia? I can't think of a reason. Thanks, Mark —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.63.192.26 (talk) 17:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If you feel the article should be removed from Wikipedia, please submit the article to articles for deletion and state your reasoning. It will be reviewed by members of the community and if the consensus is deletion, an administrator will take that action.
 * Also, I'm not Fieldday-sunday. So you may want to communicate with that editor since he is the one who made those reversions.
 * If you have any other questions/comments, please let me know. Thanks.  — Archon Magnus (Talk 14:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or User WPVG somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in the recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
 * Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
 * Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Potential admin
Hi, I notice you're on List of administrator hopefuls. Wikipedia would benefit from more admins.

I have the time-in-residency and I think I have a good knowledge of the Wikipedia policies and procedures, but my edit counts are way too low.  Also right now with my job, grad school, and family life (I've got two infants at home) I'm not sure that I can devote the time needed to be a quality admin.
