Depot disambiguation
Hi. I'm just dropping you a note to explain why I've reverted some of your recent edits to 'depot' wikilinks. In British English, depot does not mean a train station, but rather an area where trams, buses and trains are kept overnight, and where maintenance is performed - like a rail yard (see List of words having different meanings in British and American English. A redirect to 'train station' in that context is incorrect. The 'depot' disambiguation page does contain a definition of the British English use of the word, and as many readers might not be familiar with the use of the word in that context, I think it is worth keeping wikilinks to the disambiguation page. Sometime in the future, somebody may create an article about tram depots etc. I've picked up a few of your edits, but there may be others that you might be able to go back and change. - cheers. -- Adz|talk 02:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Gotta say that I agree, depot is one of those words, that on both sides of the pond (or Australia) carries many, many meanings. I figured that Train station was the best among those avaliable, but I too am beginning to reconsider. Train station, in the case that I was linking to meant just that, a small station among many others. Of course, a better definition would be a hub, or storage location in which many trains are serviced/stored. I may have to start a few new entries to finish this project. HammerHeadHuman|talk 02:27, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The difference is though that trains/trams/buses usually don't collect passengers at depots, so it isn't really a station at all. If you do and up creating an entry for transport depots, you may want to see if User:Paddington62 would like to give you a hand (who wrote much of the Paddington tram depot fire article and knows a lot about trams), as well as some of the editors who started some of the depot articles at Category:Melbourne trams. cheers -- Adz|talk 02:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikify
Righto then. But if Wikipedia's working definition of "wikify" includes section headings, then you might like to update Glossary, so that these misunderstandings don't happen in future. Hesperian 01:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

About your userpage
You write:

"HammerHeadHuman's knowledge and influence is so widespread and awe inspiring that it has led some to doubt whether HammerHeadHuman should be considered an individual, and not a collective grouping of genius minds (similar rumors were sometimes echoed regarding Shakespeare and Homer)."

These last three words are a link, not to articles about Shakespeare (my country's greatest playwright) and Homer (some cartoon character I think), but rather to an article on fraud. Surely Shakespeare wasn't a fraud? And does Homer even have the wit to deceive? I think we should be told...

best regs, -Mark 08:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * ahh, I understand how you could be confused: the Homer I refer to is not a cartoon, though he may as well be, he is the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and while some thought him a storytelling genius, I thought him kind of a bore. He talked too much and chewed with his mouth open. As for Billy Shakes, yes, I'm sorry to break your heart, but he was a fraud. Othello was actually based on a story I told him once about how I made a buddy of mine break up with his girlfriend by saying that she was cheating on him. The rest of his stories were actually written by his cousin Tito Shakespeare; Billy blackmailed him by saying that if he didn't get Tito's stories Billy was going to tell Tito's mum (Billy's auntie) that Tito dropped out of University. Needless to say, Tito's mum eventually found out, but it was too late: little fraud Billy already had the stories, and no one was going to believe a College dropout. - HammerHeadHuman (talk) 19:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Dixon
''Hey there, I've been considering lately that Thomas Dixon should probably link directly to Thomas Dixon, Jr., as that article probably has dominant usage (see here); not going to do anything without some kind of consensus between us, I am a major contributor to that article, and you are the major contributor to Thomas Hill Dixon, which is probably the second most used TD. Just feeling it out for now, let me know what you think... - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 00:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I concede that your Dixon is bigger than my Dixon. ;-) Whether yours is sufficiently bigger to merit a redirect and a tagline, rather than a disambiguation page, is perhaps debatable, but if you think it best then you go for it; I certainly won't obstruct you over such a minor issue so politely raised.

 * I appreciate your desire for fun, I only ask that you don't let your pursuit of happiness interfere with other's pursuit's of knowledge. As for your other requests: I will not fornicate with a goat, I will have some cow, and I will not lick your testicles, but I thank you for asking so nicely. - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 07:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

mask and Cho Seung-hui
they have some bad edited stuff

although i was glad they called that homicidal psycho maniac a "FAGGOT BOY" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.129.16 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 18 April 2007


 * Not sure I know what your referencing, however, I would appreciate if in the future you would refrain from using derogatory phrases on my talk page. Profanity in general is acceptable, but, for fuck's sake, please don't use words of hate. - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 05:06, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Julie
Sorry if my explanations were too brief.

Most of my changes are intended to make it a better disambiguation page. Detailed information about the name itself should be on Julie (surname) or other such page. My changes were intended to help people the articles with the information they need most efficiently.

The multiple links on the list, I think ARE well noted in the edit summary: WP:MOSDAB mentions limiting bluelinks. The red links are expected to be filled with an article sometime. The blue provides useful information for people that might be looking for that particular "Julie" before they are written. If any of the links get deleted, I would suggest the red links go. (John User:Jwy talk) 19:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the Julie (surname) change. The two edits are actually consistent with what I said (or was trying to say).  I added useful bluelinks on lines that had only a redlinked "target" article and then, only if it was specific enough.  If someone is looking for Julie the book, but it doesn't exist, the article about the author might have useful information.  In the earlier edit, all the target articles were blue, so the extra bluelinks just confused the dab page. (John User:Jwy talk) 22:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * "Thanks for your civility, look forward to speaking with you again sometime. " - No problem. From the looks of the message above this section, you could use it! (John User:Jwy talk) 22:56, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, HHH. I just wanted to ask about your intentions with Julie (surname). "Surname" means "last name", but as it stands now, the content is related to Julie as a first name. Cheers, --Paul Erik 21:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah-ha, Thanks for pointing that out. A discussion about the change kept referring to the "surname" Julie; when I made the page that particular discussion must have stuck out for some reason. Of course, you are right, I meant to create a page for the first name. The problem has been fixed. Thanks again. - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 21:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry man, my fault. I suggested the original name.  Apologies.  (John User:Jwy talk) 04:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't give it a second thought, I got caught up in the confusion as well. - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 07:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Not a big deal on our friend Julie since its so short, but dab pages are usually ordered by most likely "hit" for the user, not alphabetical. (John User:Jwy talk) 03:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Got it, feel free to reorganize (the list may get longer). - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 03:30, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Admin nomination
Thanks a lot for the Adminstrator nomination! I've accepted. I look forward to seeing how it goes. --Eyrian 20:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Anytime, good luck! Also, have you formally posted the request yet? - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 20:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have. I'm... interested to see what people say about me. Thanks again. --Eyrian 20:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Adoption
Greetings! I was a little slow in noticing your offer of adoption. . . I suppose I should look at changes to my page more often! I have had another person also offer, but he suggests that having two adopters would be all the better for me, if you're willing! --otherlleft 02:49, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It'd be my pleasure! And I don't disagree, I think that two parents are always best if possible ;) - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 02:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Stubs
Yea I know about stub sorting. I just wanted to make sure the article got tagged because I didn't have time to look up the right stub. CJ 16:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Got it, no worries. :) - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 16:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Walther P22 and Glock 19 articles
So are the disputes at these articles -- whether to include a link to the Virginia Tech massacre -- resolved? SWATJester (what a name!) has left notes on the Discussion pages at this article indicating that the discussion is over. Does he have the authority to declare this? Help me here. Griot 21:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The Mediation Cabal is only an informal venue for third party opinion, it is in no way Wikipedia policy, and is therefore not binding. No, the discussion should not be concluded based solely only on my opinion; neither SWATJester nor I can declare the discussion over. You all asked for an impartial voice, and that is all that I have provided. - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 22:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It is up to all involved in the discussion to interpret my opinion as they will, and to use it as they see fit. - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work)

Still looking for an additional mediator on Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-02-10 Castelseprio? If so I will see if I can help... - HammerHeadHuman (talk)(work) 00:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Take a look. My understanding is that one of the parties gave up but was never quite satisfied.  --Selket Talk 00:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
