Brokeback Mountain Edit
Re: Your Andrew Sullivan edit to Brokeback Mountain. I think Practicing could be an important distinction (implying that he goes to church and is at least somewhat active in chuch life) as opposed to "Lapsed Catholics" (such as myself) who were raised Catholic and have never been excommunicated, but who do nothing to practice the faith. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chesaguy (talk &bull; contribs) 18:35, March 7, 2006.


 * Had he been a lapsed Catholic, should we give his opinion less weight? Mainly, I don't think the difference is relevant to the Brokeback article.  If his analysis is valid, then it doesn't matter if he's a good Catholic or a Buddhist.  If readers are interested in Sullivan's background, they can go to the article on him.  eaolson 02:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Please discuss first before editing something. Moreover WP: not a crystal ball is out of context. Citation needed would be required. Wikipedia is about contribution not meaningless deletion and censoring. The former requires research to be done via extensive searching. I assume you didn't do that otherwise you could have corroborated and contributed with respective links.Thanks.Slicky 13:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia does not require discussion before editing. That's the whole point of the "be bold" policy. My edit was not meaningless, nor was it censorship.  Your edit made significant, speculative predictions about the future.  Once these improvements to microscopes are invented, then they will be appropriate for inclusion into Wikipedia.  Until then, they are hypotheical. eaolson 15:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Holocaust Cruelty article
Good evening, I wrote the article on the holocaust cruelty, and you practically disregarded it as irrelevant drivel on the talk page, I think as it explores the idea of persecution, it explores the idea of cruelty, and merged in the holocaust article, surely that article is long enough as it is

Removed articles
How about creating short little stubs with just the bare minimum of information ("X is a lawyer in Missouri notable for his support of Proposition B", for example) and putting the external link in the external links section of that stub? Then other editors could fill in the blanks later, if a more extensive article is warranted. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a finished product, so stub articles and dangling red links are not an inherently bad thing to have. Bryan 07:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Yep, tried that. Now I'm in hot water with another editor.

Hoaxes
Though it's true some hoaxes are considered a form of vandalism and speedy deletable, there are a few occasions where articles that were originally considered hoaxes could turn out to be factual, possibly due to someone finding out that there was a spelling mistake in the title, or that more notable sources are discovered. As for the Lego Knights movie, the original article was a hoax, but I've recently cleaned it up so that it now describes the real Lego Knights movie.--TBC TaLk?!? 04:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Worst Journey in the World
Thanks for completely destroying my Worst Journey in the World page. I added a bunch of stuff to it...then you backdoored me before I could save the changes. I lost all my information. Dick move. Make your own pages instead of deleting other peoples. -- User:MonkBirdDuke
 * First, no personal attacks, please. You say you "lost your change" which sounds like you experienced an edit conflict. Scroll down the page and you will find your text, which you can then cut and paste into the new edit box at the top of the screen. You don't have to lose any of the work you did. eaolson 13:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Whatever, man...just delete it then. People like you sort of make this place no fun.  You try to make an entry for something then five minutes later someone like you comes in and shoots it down.  Intellectual fascism.  I thought the whole point of wikipedia was that anyone could edit it.  Stop being such an elitist.
 * And by the way, all my text is gone because you changed the page before I saved it.
 * As I said over at your talk page, that's an edit conflict. None of your edit was lost unless you closed your browser window. When you have an edit conflict, there are two edit boxes on the page. The top one has the state of the page after another editor changed the page while you were working on it. The bottom one contains your proposed edit. You must cut and paste your new text from the bottom window to the top. There's no way to automate this process and have WP do it automatically.
 * Secondly, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Your writing is very good, but it's clearly an opinion, and therefore POV. eaolson 13:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The writing was a quotation from the book "The Worst Journey in the World" by Apsley Cherry-Garrard. I just sent it up there temporarily.  I was working on the body of the article, when you screwed me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MonkBirdDuke (talk • contribs) 09:08, 23 September 2006.
 * I did not "screw you," as I have explained multiple times above. If you wish to work on an article to get it in good shape for the enclopedia, the best way to do that is in a sub-page in your own userspace. For example w:User:MonkBirdDuke/Worst Journey in the World eaolson 14:19, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Fine, I deleted all my text on the page. You happy now?  You've never even read Apsley Cherry Garrard's book...who are you to pass judgment on the article?  Way to stifle the freedom of information.
 * Was this an article about a book? That wasn't clear, since all you did was post a quote from it. If you want to write an article, then write an article. Don't just come here, complain about my oppressing you, then go off and pout. eaolson 14:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've been reading about you a little. You have a reputation for deleting other people's pages.  I suppose that's just what you do.  You destroy other people's stuff and create nothing of your own.
 * That I have a "reputation" at all is flattering. Actually, I edit at a lot of pages, and have been doing a lot of recent change patrolling lately. eaolson 14:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm new to wikipedia, and was just trying to help out with some of the things I that I've read about Antarctica and polar exploration. You're the one that brings all the negativity to this otherwise reputable service.
 * You posted two paragraphs of copyrighted text with no explanation or expansion. So yeah, I prod'ed it for deletion. You could have removed the prod, or explained things at the Talk page, but instead you just blanked the page and started making personal attacks. I'm sorry you lost your work due to an edit conflict, but that wasn't my fault. I'm not going to continue this here. Now that you're posting on Talk pages calling me a "cancer on Wikipedia" makes it seem pretty clear that you're not interested in a discussion, and now I'm having a hard time assuming good faith. eaolson 12:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Whatever, man. I was just trying to help.  I'll try and make the page better; up to your standards...whoever the hell you are.  I'm not going to let one jerk ruin my experience on wikipedia. MonkBirdDuke 08:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Nucka
I see you added a tag that says "can't find def. on google" on the article titled "Nucka". Well maybe you should have actually searched google because the first result is a definition for "Urban Dictionary". ~Cooljuno411
 * Urban Dictionary is not generally considered to be a Reliable source. eaolson 04:44, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well it is still shows proof of the words existents so people have no right to just post tags saying it doesn't exists ~Cooljuno411
 * I'm not saying the word doesn't exist. I'm saying it doesn't meet the mandatory criteria for verifiability and reliable sources. You may wish to review the guideline for neologisms over at WP:NEO. I quote, "To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term — not books and papers that use the term." Even if the word is in wide usage, if there are no such secondary sources talking about the word, it's not ready for WP. eaolson 04:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Brazy
Maybe before you start just throwing around tags, you should actually search it on google. ~Cooljuno411
 * I did. I found a lot of people named Brazy, but nothing on the word itself outside of Urban Dictionary, and for that, see above. eaolson 04:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Experiment? Vandalism?
Uh, hey, Eaolson...I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about. I wasn't experimenting on Gold, nor was I vandalizing. I was browsing along all the elements out of pure boredom, when I noticed that the link to Mercury (element) pointed to Mercuray (planet). So I changed to element. Where's the vandalism in that?

Oh, and for the record, I've got my own account, I was just too lazy to log in for one little edit.--65.190.29.207 21:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * There were two anon editors right before you that did some vandalism. They changed Mercury from element to planet, and changed some of the constants to incorrect values. You didn't go back far enough. I didn't notice that your IP was different from the vandal immediately before you, sorry about that. eaolson 23:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, it's fine. I just wanted to clear everything up.--65.190.29.207 00:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Lords reform

 * Eaolsen you were one of the few people on Wiki that tried to help out. I know it wasn't all positive but thanks anyway. I've just realised that there literally isn't time to get the Lords reform article into shape before the vultures circling kill it off. I thought, if I spent today on it, I'd be at a state where they'd be positive comments. Unfortunately, its all taken much longer than I thought. Sorry, I'm very tired, because I've been at this for 30 hours on the trot and I've decided I've had enough ... Mike 19:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Eaolsen If it were not for your timely intervention, I'd have given up the Lords Reform article. Would you be willing to act as a "technical guru", to check it occaisionally and advise on misappropriate use of quotes, etc. Perhaps more importantly is someone we could ask to review any big changes before putting them online?

Candle
you have recently disagreed with a statement about the incident occuring with a candle and a small ball of fire...

I have added a note of blowing out larger candles. Unfortunately, this advice is only based on one incident and I have no knowledge of the frequency of this type of accident but as the result was quite serious for the individual, and very unexpected, I think it is worth including. All that is known for certain is that whilst Christine Haseler of Cheltenham was blowing out a "normal" 3-4" candle, which had been burning long enough to create a large cup, a fireball was created which caused 2nd degree burning all over her face. I don't want to imply blowing out all candles is dangerous (as I don't believe it is!) so I have added a likely mechanism to make it clear the danger is with large candles where the bowl can create a cup redirecting the air flow back out of the candle. Wax cannot create a fireball unless it is superheated to a gas (unlikely in this case) or finely divided as an aerosol (most likely). I don't know the exact mechanism by which the wax was forced into the aerosol so "vortex" seemed a vague enough term to imply the probable speeded up circular motion around the wick and the reflective motion of the hot wax aerosol back into the face! - MH 5th July 2006

Frankly, I'm skeptical about this. It's completely unverified, and a Google search on "Christing Hasler" and "candle" came up with nothing. I don't think a single incident that happened to someone you know is particularly encyclopedic, especially as you yourself say you're not sure exactly what happened. I think it unlikely that blowing out a candle could create an aerosol of wax droplets sufficient enough to ignite and create a fireball, unless she was blowing as hard as she possibly could. eaolson 05:01, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

though this person above maybe sceptical, perhaps searching "christine haseler" would be more effective, as despite the high interest value that goes with such a desirable name as 'Christing', that is clearly not how you spell 'christine' (note e not y at the end). Even more to the point, as a fellow Haseler (NOT HASLER) i find it very anoying when people misspell my surname, as such you may notice how you misspelt Haseler. You may also gather from the fact my surname is the same that i am related and interestingly was standing in the room when this 'sceptical' and 'unverified' incident occured. I'm fairly sure that it occured though, i mean, let's face it, it is quite a hard thing to miss. Now, despite the fact that this was a huge international incident, which even involved a news crew speaking to Mrs C Haseler for upwards of 20 seconds, and had a very small, yet consiquential bit part to play on an uninteresting day where not much happened anywhere, i am not actually surprised to find that you couldn't find a report of this specific incident anywhere. Especially as there probably isn't one. Let me also suggest to you the notion that perhaps this candle was in a small square container designed to beautify the light somewhat. This container, despite its wonderful disposition towards colourful light, also served the double purpose of creating a useful storage area for a large amount of melted, then evaporated or perhaps just small airborne droplets, of wax, which then could be heated quite easily and if say, someone was to blow with a moderate force upon this heated and vapourised pocket of wax a small fireball could (and was) created. Now, although you seem some kind of expert on the subject, i think you may have grabbed the wrong end of the stick, no in fact you missed the wrong end of the stick and probly ended up grabbing some large spherical and remarkably unsticklike object and then you may well (though i do not pretend to be a professional obsever of such incidents) of the preceeded to beat yourself on the head with this object until you thought that this small fireball (that could admitadly easily have blinded christine had it not been for her wearing of glasses, and did give mild burns leaving very visable scarring all over her face, but which healed fully in a mater of weeks) was some kind of catacylsmic event akin to that of the extinction of the dinosaurs. Don't worry, it wasn't. It was merely a small ball of fire, perhaps 10cm across at most, that, due to the proximity of the face to the candle in question, caused a reasonably high amount of damage to said face. so please shut your trap when you dont know what your talking about. thankyou for your time.

that is the truth of the incident my dear impudent friend (and the original person also got some of the facts wrong) was not a normal candle but a small candle within one of those special candle box things that makes the light all pretty :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.107.209.90 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 27 October 2006.

 * I can't make suggestions, because I don't know what you're trying to do. You might take a look at How_to_fix_your_signature. Perhaps you need to specify "raw signature" in your preferences. eaolson 03:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

If that page has character substitution suggestions, then I could not locate them on the various occasions when I'd tried it. Wherever it would be, that's what I would need.

Although raw signature does make a change, it's too far in the opposite direction. When I'm on an unsigned page, I often need something that I can quickly copy|paste, in order to distinguish what I've scribed.

This has been far faster than anything else that I've tried.

So, halfway between raw, & not raw, would be my preference.

Thank You.

Slow search
So what exactly are your objections to the article (slow search) I created? It is a topic of current notability, and is a technique not heretofor employed. Perhaps you could improve it or rename it appropriately since you seem to have a strong opinion on the matter. Also, a notification to User talk:Leonard G. would have been both polite and appropriate (as noted in the template expansion) Leonard G. 01:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * My point is that the article describes a particular software program as doing a search that is slow. It doesn't say that this is a general term for a particular kind of web spidering. This is not a generally-used term to describe something specific. We don't need an article on every possible adjective-noun combination. Just because a news article is talking about a basketball player, and says he's a "tall man," doesn't mean there should be an article about it. eaolson 01:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could integrate the current event topic into the appropriate article with a redirect from this article title. My point is that since slow search is likely to be looked up by current slashdot readers that it should at least lead to somewhere relevant on WP. - Best wishes, Leonard G. 02:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Ryan Maddox
The article "Ryan Maddox" should not be deleted under the pretense of irrelevance. Rather, common interests should be met here through it's allowance of one month of existence (at least) due to [special] interests for the betterment of a singular community. Bolstering this claim is the fact/suggestion that no harm shall be done from it's existence (domain type is irrelevant here). Furthermore, Wikipedia [relative encyclopedia references] does not feel the constraint of conventional (or original; plus moderate confined encyclopedias/dictionaries/etc.). Tampering with it's existence would result in a detriment to certain pursuits in the field of academia. This is a humble plea to save the article in question (ex: Ryan Maddox) from deletion.

 * This is a common use of the word earliest and oldest in wikipedia. You may have noticed that I am not the originator of the "Earliest living US senator" page. The language is also similarily used for Oldest people and it;s related pages. What I mean is some thing like this...


 * from May 8, 1998-June 26, 2003 ... Strom Thurmond was the oldest LIVING senator.


 * from May 9, 2003 - January 20, 2007 - George Smathers was the most Senior Living Senator


 * You are correct... there cannot be more than one oldest senator at once... The list starts out with the current and previous oldest living senators... then... further down... I list the oldest current living Senators so that, when Clifford Hansen passes away, we'll know who the new oldest living senator is and there won;t be a period of confusion. You;ll notice that this is the same way that the Oldest people page is set up.--Dr who1975 04:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I thought of another good way to explain my use of the word Oldest. You may notice that Harry F. Byrd, Jr. is the 2nd senator on the list. He is the 2nd OLDEST living U.S. Senator and so he is among the OLDEST living U.S. Senators (2nd on the list). While he is not THE OLDEST, he is on the list of the oldest CURRENT senators. Don't know if I can explain it any better than that. It is proper grammar.--Dr who1975 04:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
