Blizzforums
Hey, out of curiosity I was just looking at Articles for deletion/Blizzforums and noticed that you said you used to be a moderator there. I looked at your profile and I think I vaguely recognize your picture, but even IRL I'm terrible at putting faces and names together until I know a person pretty well. :p I see your name is Jason; you wouldn't happen to be Jason von Evil, a.k.a. Aya would you? If you are, I suppose that would explain why you seemed to be a prolific editor of Wikipedia at one time but suddenly stopped somewhere in 2007; also I remember what happened to you and I suppose that means you probably won't be reading this message for a long time, if you ever read this. But assuming you do ever see this, hit me back! We'll be friends. :-D --129.7.113.149 (talk) 21:10, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Question
Don't you think your user page is a bit polarizing? I mean, to say that you chose not to believe in God (I'm an Agnostic who believes those who commit one way or the other choose their beliefs), support abortion, support the defacement of the United States flag, and want to spend exorbinant amounts of money on lap tops sounds to me like you're looking to start a fight. 69.243.42.251 (talk) 19:00, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I give exactly jack shit if it offends anyone. OoOoOo, I support a person's freedom of expression. Would I personally burn a flag?  No, but that doesn't mean I don't think anyone else.  Its just a flag for christsake.  As for the laptops, we've already blown an exorbitant amount of cash in two wars and bailing the fat cats out, so why not?--KrossTransmit? 19:36, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * But Jimbo doesn't want freedom of expression here. He said so years ago. As for the issues you support you are baiting right wingers.I myself do agree with your views with the exception of laptops. We all know black kids would beat each over the head with them. 69.243.42.251 (talk) 23:06, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. Troll. Gotcha.--KrossTransmit? 00:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Troll? Like one of those little furry-haired things? Anyway, saw your sandbox. Anyone ever tell you look like Harry Potter.69.243.42.251 (talk) 00:49, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Jason, you seriously need to stop being so confrontational. Your confrontational attitude caused the Loyola College Vandal to start vandalizing and to become one of the most prolific vandals of 2006. 71.254.218.130 (talk) 19:32, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Uh...no. LCV was pissed because I nominated an article he created for deletion. I fail to see how I'm confrontational. 69.243.42.251 is nothing but a troll who would have reacted either way. Besides, I'm more sarcastic than anything else. Its one of my enduring qualities. ;)--KrossTransmit? 20:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Your statement is complete bull. LCV originallys started as just an anonymous editor before getting user names. You know just as well as I do that back in 2006 it was already established that anonymous editors could not create an article hence there being no reason to delete. You chose to argue with an idiot. If you want proof just check Archive 3. Better yet, I'll just post what went down. IndoorSoccerFan (talk)
 * You hear that? Listen real, real, reeeeeeeeeeeal hard and you might hear the sound of me giving a damn.  Whats that?  Don't hear anything?  Yeah, that's because I don't care.  Here's how I know you're full of bullshit: you haven't gone after any of the other bajillion editors on Wikipedia who have the same userbox on their userpage.  Its all a moot point, because I'm not changing my userpage because it is not in fact violating any rule.  In addition, nyah, you can't do jack about it anyway, so nyah once again.--KrossTransmit? 19:02, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Jimbo's Wishes
I see that you are stating that you are a social democrat. Given that these type of statements are polarizing, I would suggest removing it. You may have heard of Jimbo's wishes.144.126.161.43 15:02, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It is this sort of threat and self-censorship that is the most worrying outcome of the userbox wars. --maru (talk) contribs 04:34, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It was not a threat. It was a suggestion and what is the point of userboxes? It makes people look like they have an agenda when they start giving ones that provide opinions. You would also notice I only saw one that I found to be polarizing. I didn't tell him to remove all of them.144.126.161.43 15:02, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * And by the way, please check User Talk: 144.126.161.43 to view his abusive language.144.126.161.43 15:20, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It was a threat. Stop bullshitting us. It would be a shame if your house were to burn down and your kneecaps be broken in an "accident", wouldn't it? --maru (talk) contribs 18:19, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Please tell me where you view this as being a threat. Quite frankly I feel that the message had no tone to it. I do realize that there are different interpretations, especially on the Internet where we do not have the ability to associate a voice to words.
 * What exactly is it though that I am "threatening"? I am simply giving an opinion. I find one userbox out to be a polarizing one and telling him that I think he should delete it.
 * And what's with you wishing harm on me and with the language? I have been civil in this matter whether you agree or disagree with me and have confronted opinions, not people unlike you guys. Do you guys feel that your arguments are too weak? I have also not resorted to foul language either. --144.126.76.73 02:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about? I haven't threatened you at all- exactly like you didn't threaten to report Kross to Jimbo. --maru (talk) contribs 04:17, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I never said you did threaten me at all. There's a difference between wishing harm and threatening someone. I also never threatened to report Kross to Jimbo just like you said. From your post, I figured you were trying to get a bit of sarcasm in saying that I actually was threatening that.144.126.161.45 13:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you two going to get a room or are you just going to clog up my talk page?--KrossTalk 14:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'll just post more penises on your user page instead. That relieved a lot of angst that you caused me. You've hurt me along with Marudub.144.126.76.102 02:43, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh boo fucking hoo. Keep it up and its right to the admin, dickhead.--KrossTalk 04:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, it's already there. When I saw that he had vandalised my user page, I blocked him in the main- for a week I think. --maru (talk) contribs 04:22, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

User Page Protection
I don't get why your page has been protected for three years now. What's the deal with all of the special treatment?69.243.42.251 (talk) 21:52, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Because some guy from Loyola College who can't drop a grudge continually vandalizes it, all because like five or six years ago I nominated an article about a local band he had made for deletion. Yeah, dude really knows how to hold a grudge. Its stupid really, I mean the guy should be focusing on getting a higher education and making something of himself (unlike me :P) and yet, he'd rather do this.--KrossTransmit? 15:00, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's bull and you know it. I started my war with you over the polarizing nature of your user page. At time I did it as an Anon editor in 2006, which means that I could not have created a page for you to delete because Jimbo stopped Anon editors from creating pages in the wake of Seigenthaler.LoyolaCollegeV (talk) 00:10, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Really? Must have been someone else then, my bad. As for my userpage, I was intentionally using stereotypes sarcastically. How about we end this feud? We're both adults and you have way more important things to do, like getting a higher education.--KrossTransmit? 00:28, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Piped links versus redirects
Please read WP:R2D, in general there is no need to introduce a piped link when a redirect does the same thing and makes the edit screen easier to read, eg Second World War is pointless, simpler just to have Second World War. David Underdown (talk) 09:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
