User talk:Dr. B

NOTICE: I said on my main page that I'm discontinuing my editing of Wikipedia for an indefinate amount of time. I'd had a realization that some things in my life need to change. I'm starting this by not editing Wikipedia anymore. I don't know if or when I'll be back. However, I'd appreciate it if no one were to edit my userpage or talk page, as I may come back at some point in the future and would like to find things on this and my main page mostly as I left them.

This is not because of anything that anyone here has done, it's because of my life.

Thank you.

Message box
Thanks for (unintentionally) discovering the error in my message box...I can do some pretty brain-less stuff sometimes. Anyway, welcome again, and let me know if you need anything (except perhaps how to correctly make links on your own user page)! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 02:24, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Vote on my Arbitration Committee candidacy
Re. the crossed out 'punish': I used the term punish originally, but it was pointed out to me that it was a bit odd to mention 'punishing' users. What I originally meant, and what I tried to clarify, is that they were remedies, not punishments. I strongly disagree with enacting remedies to punish or hurt users.

Arbiter election
Just curious, what about how I made my statement did you disapprove of? Sam Spade 20:09, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

CRC3
Hey Dr.B, This is Starhood`, one of the contributors to Calvin Random Chess. You made a mistake with move 9 of game 3. The black queen did not turn white, she was squashed by a catapulted white pawn who was promoted to queen. I was just telling you unless you purposefully made that mistake. Please post your reply at my talk here. Starhood` 20:56, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

New Sports Wiki/Community
I noticed you were a Vikings fan. My friends and I started a sports wiki/community that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news, opinion articles, and better integration of sports statistics. The site is located here: www.armchairgm.com/. Check our NFL and Vikings section its pretty cool:

www.armchairgm.com/mwiki/index.php?title=NFL

www.armchairgm.com/mwiki/index.php?title=Minnesota_Vikings

When you get the chance, let me know what you think. And feel free to use it.

Thanks, --Roblefko 12:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Template cleanup
Hi Dr. B

Please remove the following lines from the Stargate template on your userpage: As you can see, the template has been redesigned so these two lines should be removed from all templates. Regards Valentinian (talk) 20:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Defacation
Dr. B, I have an urgent message. A person with the I.P. address of 210.212.45.144 has made some serious defacations to the wikipedian website. We need to stop and revert this man's edits NOW. Pass on this message. Starhood` 13:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Question
Dr. B, I have a little question for you. You might find the information I'm asking private so could you please e-mail your e-mail address? I promise I won't give out your address or spam you. Starhood` 23:14, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar for Red vs Blue
For for this, as far as I recall I've never edited that article, which I admit probably would be more of a help for FA status than if I had! Cheers --pgk( talk ) 17:47, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Same here, could you please stop placing this barnstar on a whole load of talk pages. At least check that the people you are giving it to has made a significant edit(s) to the article. Thanks, Petros471 17:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Neverending Nights


The article Neverending Nights has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article does meet WP:GNG. Has been tagged since 2008.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
