MGM
You said that MGM only distributes Weinstein movies. The following four movies from 2006 (taken from the MGM article) have MGM listed in the company credits on IMDB, but Weinstein not listed: The Pink Panther, Casino Royale, Material Girls, Rocky Balboa. Qutezuce 06:18, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If I'm not mistaken those movies are made by Sony, but distributed through MGM.Casey14 14:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Retirees
Look, I don't want to throw poo. But your "my way or the highway" attitude is not at all becoming in lieu of Wikipedia policies on civility, consensus building, and so forth. Be glad to have my insights for the Wiki NASCAR project. I'll spot you Sadler if you wish, considering even if he made every race, he'd still finish last. But Nadeau has not formally announced his retirement and his Wikipedia entry confirms this, as does his website, as does MB2, as does jayski and other reputable news sources. If you can find documentation that says he says he is definitely done, great. But he has not called it quits just yet. Remember Neil Bonnett? Everyone, including him, said he's never race again after his first crash. But he came back. He ended up splattered all over the track in Daytona in 1993, but he never retired and eventually did come back. Rudd explicitly said "this is not retirement." He said he was "taking a break" and it was reported by nascar.com that he had been offered a ride with one of the 2007 Toyota teams. The fact that there was a report is a fact. When he confirms or denies it, that too will be fact. We are playing semantics games here but I feel that my edits are in good faith and most correct and I stand by them. I'm not some passive newbie NASCAR fan. I have closely followed the sport for decades and don't depend on second and third person sources for my info. WillC 15:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll give you Rudd and Nadeu. Sadler is definately not full time, seeing he has not even attempted all the races.  Casey14 16:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Well actually, instead of putting both in semi-retired, the better place is in the Unkown Status column.Casey14 16:58, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * If that is your offer of compromise I'll accept it. WillC 17:09, 7 May 2006

French? In American schools as a PRIMARY language of education?
Do you have a citation for that? I haven't heard of any French immersion or bilingual programs deployed on a large scale in any public school system---meaning that EVERYTHING is taught in French. There are French immersion programs in private schools for the kids of French expats (so that they can go home to French universities talking proper French), but those are small and rare. In contrast, Spanish bilingual programs for Mexican immigrants are quite common in border states. --Coolcaesar 23:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * In Louisiana, French is the second official language for the state, like Spanish in New Mexico. You can see it on the Louisiana page. Casey14 23:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * An edit summary would have been helpful on your recent edit to Kiki's Delivery Service in which you cleared a big chunk of the article with zero explanantion. I've reverted back to the previous version. ShizuokaSensei 01:43, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Just read your comment on my page. That is just plain weird isn't it! I've had strange things like that happen to me too... Odd! ShizuokaSensei 15:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


 * There were some server problems the night of the 21st that caused odd problems of this sort (my edit to Kiki's Delivery Service didn't show up for a while, then showed up but not on my "contributions" page). Cactus Wren 21:49, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Jim Hurtubise
As far as I know, he never raced in NASCAB, er, NASCAR. (Sorry, I am an open-wheel fan). His article makes no mention of NASCAR except for you category addition. If you have anything about a NASCAR career, please add it. --rogerd 01:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Jim Hurtubise had one NASCAR win in 1966, and 11 career top ten finishes, in a total of 36 races.Casey14 01:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject NASCAR proposed standards
WikiProject NASCAR needs your help! We are in the process of forming our proposed standards which, when complete, will hopefully become a Wikipedia guideline. The guidelines will help editors understand Wikipedia consensus about things like which NASCAR-related articles meet notability standards. Please stop by and let us know what you think!

WOW Hits articles
Hi Casey14, thanks for starting these. Firstly, I've created a navigational template WoW Hits to put on the year articles; secondly, a few of the articles have conflicting year/date info; WOW Hits 2004 starts: WOW Hits 2005: 31 of the Greatest Christian Music Hits of 2003 is a two disc compilation album of songs that have been dubbed to be the the best Christian Music songs of 2006. It will be released on October 7, 2003. Can you clear up the dates and tense on these? Thanks, [ælfəks] 14:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Casey, I would just like to tell you that your username and mine are very much alike. I discovered you today when I was surfing around and discovered you had edited the tobyMac talk page. I would just like to say hi and glad to meet you.--Chili14 03:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

About the tables in the list of films by year
Hi Casey14, I did a lot of work lately to make each year of the list of films by year as uniform as possible from the first years until 2001. I have added all films of each year that were in awards and top grossing in one comprehensive list (formerly "other films released") called "Films realeased in 19xx", making sure of the film's release year. This list comes always directly under Awards. When I came to the tables in the 1990s, I formated them in a uniform way and I have nothing against them, so long as there is this one comprehensive list without table formating. The reason is that we are crossing entries with other lists, it's a lot of work and it's very hard to enter or copy code in table form. See also discussion in the Lists of films talk page. Now I have reached 2002 where you have done some nice work in creating tables for this "Other films" list. Since it would be very silly to make another list where I add all the films of 2002, would it be ok if I remove the table and put all entries in a comprehensive listing? I would like to make sure my work doesn't cause any data loss, so I could include all your data in the simple list. Please, let me know either in the List of films talk or in my user talk page. Regards, Hoverfish 12:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh well, I just found that this particular listing was actually done by user Rje, right after your edit. I have posted there too, but I am still interested in your opinion. Hoverfish 12:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Florida 16th Congressional District
Your note about the leanings of the 16th, while I'm sure it was well-intentioned, has been reverted because the district contains only selected portions of those two counties, those leaning most Republican (see the court's analysis of the gerrymandering involved). I'm sure we disagree on a lot of topics, Casey; but I suspect we can agree that politicians should not be allowed to play these kinds of games with districting every 5-10 years.--Orange Mike 02:09, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I won't disagree with you, since I did not cite soucres, however Palm Beach county, every portion is majorily Democrat. St. Lucie county is similar, with a little over about half of the population of Port St. Lucie Democratic. Casey14 02:12, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey!
Hey Casey! It's good to see another Christian out there. Since you're are a member of Wikiproject CCM, I thought you might be interested in joining the Inspirational Music Wiki. It's really small, so we need more editors. --  P.B. Pilh e  t  /  Talk  19:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I do apologise for any inconvenience, but I am trying to deal with a persistent vandal who has a dynamic IP, i.e. one that keeps changing. It should only last a few hours. This will have no lasting effects on you and will not show up in your personal block log. Apologies again, and best wishes for 2007. - Runcorn 10:09, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Nigga
Hello Casey. Regarding your concern with the use of Latino or Hispanic in describing ethicities and/or races that use the term in the US. Please note that "Hispanic" was the specific term used to describe the individuals in the source therefore, per WP:V that term should remain. If you can think if a better way to describe the ethnogroups listed (rather than "races and ethnicities"), then please do so, but I'd ask you to stop removing reliably sourced content. Continuing to do so will be considered vandalism. Thank you. Rockpock e  t  03:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Jesus
I recently found that the Jesus article on Wikipedia is the first item that comes up when you search for "Jesus" on the world’s most widely used search engine, Google.

Please edit the Jesus article to make it an accurate and excellent representation of Him.

The Jesus article may be a person’s first impression of Jesus. It would be nice if their first impression was from a Christian or the Bible, but for so many in these new days it probably comes from the Internet. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thanks a lot.

Also, watch out to follow Wikipedia's Policies and guidelines. It is especially hard for the Three-revert rule and the Neutral point of view policy to be followed because of the nature of the article, but please follow these policies along with citing sources so that the article does not get locked from editing and can't be improved further. Thanks again. Scifiintel 17:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Re:WikiProject NASCAR
Thank you for the kind words! You do a fantastic job as well! --D-Day 19:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I absolutely love the comprehensiveness of the NASCAR articles on Wikipedia. I find myself using the wikipedia articles as much, if not more than, actual NASCAR-related pages to look things up, check stats, learn about the drivers, etc. But, the one glaring piece I kept looking for but kept having to go elsewhere for, was a simple list of the total number of wins for various drivers. So, now its in there. Very small piece when stacked against the detailed work that folks like you have done (such as those driver bio pages). - Thaimoss 17:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Casey, I realize I didn't have all the active drivers right, and I'd intended to knock that out while watching the race today. And, I thought I'd fixed that "Jeo"/"Joe". Hm.  Anyway, didn't think anybody would find this page that fast! Appreciate you cleaning it up like you have. - Thaimoss 17:30, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Dragonball Wiki

 * Hi there. I noticed you're fan of the Dragon Ball series, and I'm trying to recruit some fans from here to contribute to the Dragon Ball Wiki. It's in terrible shape right now with pretty much no consistency or policies, and only this week have I been able to get Angela and Sannse to create some Forums for us over there. I've got a proposed Manual of Style going over there and would like some people to contribute to that to set up some policies and start making the wiki bigger, better, and more intelligible/consistent. If you're interested, please hop on over or talk to me. Thanks for the time, whether you're interested or not. Wildyoda 08:44, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Yep, I saw him. I reverted and I'll leave him a message in a second. Good catch! --D-Day 22:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Categories
I understand your frustrations. A smart strategy might be to bring it up again in a few months. I've seen decisions overturned. Maybe some of the other projects will see some backlog as their projects grow. Mean time, I'll try to my work as usual.

I'm not happy about the decision either, but sadly there's not much we can do. Yet. --D-Day 23:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

DC Meetup notice
Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 00:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Election Template
I ask you to stop reverting. If we listed all the minor candidates this template would be overcrowded and wouldn't mean anything. I am not going to discuss this anymore. Only major candidates are on this list, Case closed.-- Southern Texas  02:33, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The best way to go about this would be to start a vote on the talk page. You'll state your case and I'll state mine then we'll see whether other editors support or oppose the re-adding of Cox.-- Southern Texas  15:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar Mockery
On May 7th of this year, at 14:37, the user page User:Dr Spam (MD) was created. Within a period of 48 hours, User:Dr Spam (MD) had placed approximately 55 barnstars on user pages and user talk pages. Many recipients doubted the sincerity of the sentiments behind these barnstars, in part because of the comments placed by Dr Spam on the barnstars. A sampling of the reasons that Dr. Spam offered for presenting barnstars to editors:''


 * ''Hi - I am putting this here in case there's trouble later. Please accept this tireless barnstar thing for all of your wiki-activity. Thanks. User:Dr Spam (MD) 16:08, 11 May 2007

''
 * nice one! User:Dr Spam (MD) 16:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * ''Hi I am leaving you with this barnstar for you to reflect carefully on. I will provide the citation in a few days once you have had the opportunity to consider why I might think that you deserve it. Peace User:Dr Spam (MD) 16:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

''
 * ''Well done for all of your fantastic editing / writing: you are obviously a genius of our day, shining like the brightest barnstar against a dark barnnight in these new and difficult wiki-times. I therefore award you the surreal barnstar (I can't get the other barnstars to work properly - my apologies.) Please note that you have no right to remove the barnstar, for it is sacred. LEAVE WELL ALONE! Many thanks.

''
 * ''awesome contribution to this web site! have a lovely barnstar thing User:Dr Spam (MD) 12:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

''
 * cool editing


 * Awesome


 * Cool.


 * I am awarding you a surreal barnstar because you obviously deserve it! Keep up the good work - don't slacken off, it'll get harder before it gets easier!


 * Hy my cat (the fat white one) is awarding you this barnstar of diligence because he doesn't eat fish either. He just likes to eat biscuits - or so he says. But how then does he get so fat????

Occasionally Dr. Spam's comments did appear sincere (if vague), but a review of the record indicates that sincere-appearing comments were generally generated during a massive cut-and-paste session. There were also many barnstars presented with no comments at all, and even more that User:Dr Spam (MD) presented without signing his name to indicate from whom the award was coming. And some barnstars, praising the editing skills of the recipient, were awarded to editors with one solitary edit to their name.

In response, once this pattern of apparent insincerity was established, a few experienced editors asked Dr. Spam to desist from barnstar spamming, in the belief that randomly awarding barnstars devalues the entire barnstar program. (Indeed, so random was the placement of barnstars, that some were even placed on wiki accounts that had not been active for over a year.) Dr. Spam has now stopped, presumably recognizing that his efforts were not appreciated by the majority of editors.

Most of the barnstars placed by Dr. Spam during his May campaign have been voluntarily removed by the editors on whose pages they were placed. You are receiving this notice because Dr. Spam's barnstar still remains on your page. If you feel that Dr. Spam's barnstar spamming was a form of mockery, you may choose to remove it yourself. But if the way this barnstar was "awarded" does not bother you, you are of course free to keep it on your page. After all, it is your page. This notification was simply for your information.

==Yay, someone that knows...= That Hispanic is NOT a race. My ex girlfriend is of Hispanic descent (she happens to be, for the most part, White, with the exception of some American Indian ancestry (Comanche), she is also part portugese. I myself am of various ancestries, Spanish included.  The only thing I am that is not White (I have Middle Eastern (Arab, Jewish), and various other ancstries), is American Indian.  Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that won't refer to Mexicans as not being White (as most of them are of mixed, I don't really think that makes them not White), and I have family in Mexico, all of which, completely White (my great aunt moved to Mexico when she was 17).

Combining Talk Discussions Re Disney Film Lists
Dear SpikeJones,  Kasper2006,  Elikrotupos,  SWatsi,   Blitz Lutte,  NealP,  LtPowers,  SofaKing381222,  Collectionian,  Cartoon Boy,   Casey14,  Chris1219,  NuclearWarfare,  SkinnyPrude, and  Parker 1297:

Recently, it appears that you all have been interested in the various Disney discussions regarding the proper categorization of Disney animated films. There has been recent activity regarding the proper structure of the various Disney feature length film lists. Unfortunately the discussions regarding the lists / pages are taken place on a number of talk pages. Before we get further into a long discussion regarding the various structural issues with regards to List of Disney theatrical animated features, Template:Disney theatrical animated features, Walt Disney Animated Classics, Category:Disney animated features canon, List of Disney feature films‎ and what ever other lists are out there, I would suggest that we somehow combine the discussions (both past and present) into one place. This will allow easy review on single page for users interested in this matter. It will also allow future users an easy access to whatever rational is used to support the structure of the various lists (including keeping or merging certain lists.). I believe that in placing this discussion in one central location, it alleviates repetitive discussion, allows issues are not constantly revisited in different locations and hopefully sets the future standard in updating the various lists with the verifiable sources. I honestly do not know if there is Wikipedia policy on this, nor do I know what the proper way of creating such a place. But I do believe it would useful.

I have posted this suggestion on the all the User’s talk pages above and apologize if I have missed any person who may be interested in this matter. If you know of a user interested in this matter, please invite any that person to discuss these issues. .If I have included you and you have no interest in this matter, I sincerely apologize and please delete this message.
