LOTR - German?
I really don't get that at all. Alientraveller 09:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I've put a message on Alientraveller's user talk page.


 * I'm too new on Wikipedia to really want to get actively involved in even sligthly controversial editing, but good luck to you if you stick to your position. --RenniePet 10:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:CONSENSUS. Did you read the discussion? Clearly, I, Erik and ThuranX stated plainly it can hardly be classed as German. Alientraveller 13:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, Helpsloose. I don't believe that there's been any new information that would sway the previously set consensus about excluding Germany.  There's no in-depth information provided about the German aspect of the production.  Listing it among United States and Zealand establishes as part of the Big Three, which would be inaccurate compared to the verifiably in-depth background of the Big Two. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:50, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh and you're wrong. It IS very necessary. Because a lot people seeing something in the infobox would expect to find it in the article. Don't forget that. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 13:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it is not that important, most other films do not have a description of their nationality.  Hel pslo ose   16:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I never said that, I was referring to this edit summary. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 17:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Your comment about my picture
Yes, you are right. It is not as I claimed. This is because I used it as a temporary placeholder until I get time to install the new version. --Astroview 120 mm 01:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding IRIX end of life
Regarding IRIX end of life, this page: http://www.sgi.com/support/mips_irix_support.html discusses the end of life for MIPS and IRIX, as well as the scheduled end of support date.

As for all current SGI computers running Linux, a quick look at this page: http://www.sgi.com/products/software/linux/ as well the product datasheets for the Altix 4000, 450, XE and ICE shows that IRIX isn't offered, only Linux. If you wish to be more specific, SGI offeres SUSE Enterprise Linux Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

If you are satisfied with the evidence provided, please remove the citation needed from the statement in question. Thanks. Rilak (talk) 10:14, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * How can you prove absolutely ALL SGIs run Linux??? And Linux is just a kernal, it would have been better to mention an operating system, is it GNU? Helpsloose (talk) 10:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The statement in question only states that all remaining SGI computers run Linux, meaning that the statement was only applicable to SGI computers that are currently in production. Remarketed or legacy computers don't count. As for the question of Linux, it can refer to many things, such as the kernel itself or as a 'generic' description of operating systems based on the kernel. To make the statement clearer, I think it should be modified to: "All current SGI computer systems run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Enterprise Linux Server" as these are the actual operating systems used. Rilak (talk) 11:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * That is probably OK. Helpsloose (talk) 11:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Trolling
Sweden supported the Nazis? North Korea is a democracy? Sweden was neutral. North Korea is a well documented dictatorship. These types of edits are counterproductive to creating an encyclopedia. Are you actively engaged in trolling? Rklawton (talk) 17:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe I am wrong about North Korea. It really depends much on how you define words.
 * But was Sweden completely neutral? I think not, they did obviously support the axis powers (that is at least my and many others meaning), even if they claimed they where neutral. Why do you think they where not invaded? The Germans could have had good use of the high quantity of iron there, but the Swedes traded the iron to them instead. Helpsloose (talk) 17:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. If you continue trolling as you did with all your edits on November 21st, I will block you from editing Wikipedia. Rklawton (talk) 01:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)


 * What? I think you are overreacting. What did you react to? Is it wrong to suggest on a talk page that a nation is fascist? Is it trolling to remove some references to the Mac version on the Internet Explorer page when I gave my reason for it (same reason why Internet Explorer Mobile is mentioned as a separate program). Is it trolling to doubt CIA as a source when the article is about North Korea? Is it trolling to ask what the Paul is dead article would be called when Paul/Faul dies? Helpsloose (talk) 02:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, and if you continue, I will not hestitate to block you from editing. Rklawton (talk) 02:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Really, all that was trolling? Helpsloose (talk) 02:34, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Netscape Navigator
Learn to come down. I wasn't vandalizing the Netscape Navigator 9 article. That browser was recently upgraded to version 9.0.0.6, so I decided to update that caption. I meant no harm. --SMP0328. (talk) 19:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Windows Vista IBM PC edit war
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. - Josh (talk | contribs) 02:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * By the way, EFI is not compatible with BIOS in and of itself. - Josh (talk | contribs) 02:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Windows Vista/MS DOS
Now that two users have disagreed with your edits, pushing your edits would be against consensus. Do not engage in edit war, discuss in the article talk pages. --soum talk 12:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

3rr warning on Windows Me
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at Windows Me. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. -/- Warren 01:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Stop edit warring now, and engage in discussion. Not just for Windows Me but for everywhere else. If you get reverted more than twice, STOP editing and talk. Consider this your final warning. If you do not do this, I will block you from editing. No that does not mean you can create a new account or edit anonymously. Because that too falls under the purview of the block. --soum talk 03:57, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Helpsloose2
Do you have anything to do with the account User:Helpsloose2? If not, we can ask the user to get a name change. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 15:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Not me, but it is OK for me that someone have that name. Just tell him/her I exist. <tt> <font color="#fcd115">Hel pslo <font color="#fcd115">ose  </tt> 16:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * It wasn't really a revert. I put the personnel section further down and removed some of the text, like mentioned by the other user. No one discussed about removing it either. Anyway, it will discussed further here. <tt> <font color="#fcd115">Hel pslo <font color="#fcd115">ose  </tt> 18:03, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Beatles genres
I have just reverted your (unsourced) change to Revolver (album). These genres have achieved consensus over a long period, and any change really should be discussed on Talk pages first. -- Rodhull andemu  18:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, psychedelic rock have been there at least a year, it was removed today. I am going to find a good source and put it back again. <tt> <font color="#fcd115">Hel pslo <font color="#fcd115">ose  </tt> 18:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There were four genres listed in the template so I thought it best to be to be concise and just leave it at that. Allmusic lists psychedelic rock, but that alone doesn't describe the entire album, so just "rock" is enough. indopug (talk) 19:26, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Why generalise so much? Many other artists/bands/albums here on Wikipedia have many genres listed. There is nothing wrong with listing more than one genre if that is actually the case. Revolver is an album with very different types of songs.<tt> <font color="#fcd115">Hel pslo <font color="#fcd115">ose  </tt> 20:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Four genres is a bit too much and clutters the infobox;they are meant to just give a brief idea about the album's sound. I guess Rock and Psychedelic rock would be fine though. indopug (talk) 20:26, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK <tt> <font color="#fcd115">Hel pslo <font color="#fcd115">ose  </tt> 20:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Why is a song whose lyrics are taken from the Old Testament necessarily "Christian rock"? AnonMoos (talk) 09:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I also disagree with this labeling of the song as Christian rock—especially The Byrds' recording of it. I have opened a discussion on the article talk page about this matter here. Everbody please feel free to come and discuss the matter there. Thanks! --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 09:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on The Beatles. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. <font color="#006600">R <font color="#0D8147">ad <font color="#009966">io <font color="#009999">pa <font color="#1E99CC">th <font color="#67B2DE ">y  •talk•  18:13, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
