Diplomacy link
Thanks for your note. I tried the link with the space eliminated and got an error message. Then, however, based on your reference to a separate article, I found that the article Njudge does indeed exist and is wikilinked in the Diplomacy (game) article. It has the correct URL. Using that URL, I've restored the external link. Thanks for the tip! JamesMLane 20:51, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Requests for arbitration/Everyking/Proposed decision
Hey, you endorsed the RfC on Everyking, and you probably know it's gone to arbitration. Some of us feel that the proposed decision against Everyking is insufficient and too weak for a user who has abused Wikipedia so badly. I hope you can weigh in at Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Everyking/Proposed decision having read the proposed decision and discussion and share your opinion with us, whether it's that the decision is too strong, just right, or too weak. Just because you weren't involved as deeply as some of us shouldn't prevent you from sharing your opinion. Johnleemk | Talk 06:15, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Jesus, pre-4th century Christianity, and syncretism
I have added a comment on the VfD page. See Votes for deletion/Jesus, pre-4th century Christianity, and syncretism. If I could find out which bits to merge, I'd be very grateful for feedback! - Ta bu shi da yu 11:56, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks mate... I don't know where to look for this info myself... Bible colleges tend not to keep resources on this sort of material (and that's the only place I can think of). - Ta bu shi da yu 22:16, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Dvb asi VfD
Barno, I note that your reasoning in the VfD seemed to closely follow mine, so since it is possible that my arguments may have influenced your thinking, I wanted to let you know that I believe that my original statements were substantively in error. That said, I have not changed my vote, but have discovered new information regarding DVB. Please see the VfD page in question for my current understanding if my statements influenced your vote. Thanks! HyperZonktalk 20:38, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

I changed the link for Dvb asi to the Digital Video Broadcasting page. I'm performing cleanup of outdate redirect pages that are no longer in use. Jeysaba (talk) 17:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Your userpage does not exist, so...
Hi, I've noticed that you currently don't have a userpage. Not a problem in itself, but it makes your name appear as a redlink when signing talk pages, or when seen in Special:Recentchanges. Some users feel that lack of a userpage is an indication that a user may be a troll, sockpuppet, or simply a newbie. One simple solution, if you don't want to create a userpage, is to edit your userpage and insert the following:

&#35;REDIRECT &#91;&#91;User talk:&#93;&#93;

This will make your userpage a redirect to your talk page. If you ever want to create a user page, follow this link:

Ella Peterson VfD
Hi. I couldn't resist responding to your Ella Peterson comments. I'm glad to see editors with a sense of humour. With respect to telling me where to put my emoticons, I only ask that you use a small font and no more pointy punctuation than necessary.

Happy (or curmudgeonly, at your discretion) editing. TenOfAllTrades | Talk 16:23, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Frensham school
I have added more information on this school to the article. I apologise if you are upset about being advised about this topic but you indicated on the VfD page that you were open to more information on this topic. I would be grateful if you could have a look.

Answer songs
Answer songs are a subset of "referential songs". List of answer songs contains not only real answer songs, but also any song "that refers directly or indirectly to another song". See Talk:List_of_answer_songs. Kappa 17:01, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * For which the correct solution is to purge the bad content, not to ignore the definition actually used. I've done some editing to fix the problem you mention.  Barno 19:24, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Since both List of answer songs and List of referential songs exist, the correct solution was to fix the answer-song definition to correspond to that title, and to move the referential but non-answer songs to the other article. I did only the first; people don't seem to have been doing the second part of that cleanup in the intervening couple of weeks.  I might contact the Beale Street Caravan radio host for help with classic blues and R&B examples.  Barno 16:47, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops, the redlink shows that List of referential songs lost its VfD. I might check on this and consider an RfU.  More research needed.  Barno 16:49, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Disruptive voting?
I am troubled by your accusation that I am disrupting wikipedia to make a point. I consider that very close to a personal attack. Kappa 18:51, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

"...The concept of "notable" should not get in the way of "verifiable and important to users". If wikipedia is doing its job of explaining national politics, it needs to cover these idiots minor party candidates. Kappa 06:40, 14 May 2005 (UTC)" -- Is "idiots" more of a personal attack than citing WP:POINT in response to a user who explicitly rejected notability policy in arguing for a "keep all XXX" vote the previous day? (Or maybe it was earlier the same day.) Wikipedia is not a knowledge base, and it has policies about significance/lasting-impact/encyclopaedicness on all topics that are grouped as "notability". By consensus, some topics such as heads of states of UN-recognized nations are automatically notable enough; but no such consensus exists for minor-party candidates for national legislatures (which was the topic that raised this exchange). No such consensus existed for the previous topic where Kappa's VfD vote comment rejected notability policy and declared a voting war against it (rather than a Village pump initiative to change policy). HOWEVER... so far this has only taken the form of votes and reasons that people can ignore. It hasn't risen to the level of, for example, Iasson's VfD postings that appeared to define voting rules for each article; those could confuse VfD voters and editors who had articles flagged for VfD. When another editor listed an RfC on Kappa earlier for "disruptive" postings of the same general type, I commented in Kappa's defense, for the same reason -- it's not really disruptive, and seems not to be intended as real disruption. I apologize for the implication in "don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point" that I was accusing K of that level of counter-policy action. Barno 16:00, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with criteria like significance and encyclopedicness, just the way that "notable" seems to be used to set an unnecessarily high bar. Kappa 16:27, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Response to Sturgis
Hey man, ya no problems - here are a few of the sources I gathered info for. Sad to say, most of the good ol stories from Sturgis is overtaken on the web by the newfangled versions, and people dont know where these great rallies came from. I am also not sure on the etiquette of responding to peoples request on my talk page... am i supposed to respond on my talk page, or over here - but you should get the info anyways :)

Major Apology
I sincerly apologize for vandalizing your user page. Under a name of which I forgot the password, I wrote "Barno is a nerd." I also wrote a nonsensical page from your link "Barno's Theory". Please respond.Anti-Anonymex2 5 July 2005 14:17 (UTC)

NO Cranksite
Sorry man, no cranksite here. I have, during my travels, actually ran into people who say that they're devoutly religious and have told me that aliens/UFOs are "of the Devil" and that evil people who run the world are cooperating with Satan and his minions. Also, remember the media chaos regarding the meteorite tha had fossilized organisims in it, and it came from Mars ? IF there is contact, these people may be the first to revolt.Martial Law 20:52, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Where is this alleged "cranksite" ? All material taken from Wikipedia itself. Find ths alleged "cranksite" and I'll examine it myself.Martial Law 21:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Can this be merged,salvaged ?Martial Law 00:19, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Examined the article in which UFOs/Aliens are mentioned in religion. I was referring to people who I've encountered belong to religious sects that believe that UFOs/Aliens are "of the Devil" and that his minions are in cooperation with evil people who run today's world. NOT 2 pro UFO religions, Scientology, UFO cults. I'm referring to people that may stone you if you tell them about being with aliens, thus they'll kill you to get rid of the demonic influences that you had picked up. Those people who believe that UFOs/Aliens are 'of the Devil'. I've found, in my current location, a church preacher who'll probably have a alien abductee killed to remove demonic creatures.Martial Law 00:32, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Can you show me some of these "UFO sites" ? Can this article be salvaged ? The people I'm referring to appearantly belong to Christian Fundamentalist sects.Martial Law 00:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Planet blown up
The only people to see anything amiss will be the controllers of HST, some ground based observatories, as a large construct nears Earth, parks itself near earth's moon, cuts loose with a powerful particle beam composed of sub atomic particles emitted from a apparatus similar to the electron gun in a old style TV, only vastly more powerful. Earth currently has nothing that can reach that far, much less stop anyone. The tectonic pressure will take care of the rest of the planet, just as if a large meteorite had hit the planet. The alien will logically park the device on the daylight side, but in a position, so as to not cause a eclipse, so that common people, such as you and I will not see it.Martial Law 10:15, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

One of my hobbies is military strategies and/or tactics. Seems like the relevent sources I had used NOW has updates on them that make the article Contact Consequences moot. I've read these articles myself, and found zip, thus is why I had created this frankenstein article. I've even found some new material on the UFO article. Just tell all that the article can now be Terminated , due to the updated info. I've found.

One other thing, I've heard that the National Enquirer had offered a $1M bounty on a UFO, aliens and the like. Nick Pope, a former(?) British agent and UFO author has made this claim, and I've got the book that details this claim. He was either MI-5 or MI-6. I wonder how many MI-x designations are there ?Martial Law 10:31, 10 November 2005 (UTC) :)

The book is "The Uninvited" and my copy has 3 flying saucers on the cover.Martial Law 10:31, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Balderson's Cheddar
Hi, I noticed you replied to my rather terse comment on this AfD. I should point out that I wasn't trying to sway your vote, rather that the comment Balderson is a troll on discussion websites wasn't relevant to the AfD, because the AfD wasn't about the troll. My apologies if I didn't make this explicitly clear. I've added a comment to the AfD to reflect this. Mind matrix  23:54, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
