Thanks for saving the page from deletion. I plan to research the Colorado school stubs when I'm in the Denver area next month and hadn't been paying attention to what was going on at that page. --Oddharmonic 17:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I was not expelled from school. Steve Skerrett was arrested for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and now runs a private detective agency called Giotto Investigations. I am going to have to go to mediator on this. Fiona-Mont 16:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I would qualify as a "kindly administrator", but I'll try. I've watchlisted the page, tidied it up a bit, and left the user claiming to be the subject a note about WP:AUTO. --Guinnog 22:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Query.
I'm sorry, but I did not make that edit. My username is Wordybookworm, and I edit from that username. Is it possible for someone to use my IP address? I'm sorry, I do not know much in the areas of IP addresses and such.

I'm simply afraid that I will be banned. x_x

User:S8823140F
I've checked out the WHOISes on this guy and all IP addresses that he does his cruft-editing at and apparently he's from Singapore. He's been vandalising both the Time Crisis and House of the Dead articles like he owns them. Is there a possibility that we can invoke a 1-week block at Singapore just to ensure that this crystal ball vandal understands that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball/forum? Please advise. &mdash; Vesther (U * T/R * CTD) 14:16, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

WTF
I don't understand what you are talking about. Why would I refrain from using comments like that? I don't even understand what you are asking about, and what does civility have anything to do with it? Stop leaving nonsense on my talk page. --Treva 18:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)


 * The thing is, you are not acting in good faith. You are disturbing me and my conversations with other users.  And once again, I repeat:  Stop leaving nonsense on my talk page.  Besides, I was not targeting any specific eidtors, but instead those that delete perfectly find article for ludicrous reasons.  The thing that I don't understand was why you had to bust in talking about civility and ridiculous things about what I post on other people's user pages.  It was not malicious or hurtful and therefore you should stop trying to act like an administrator.  Therefore, stop posting nonsense on my talk page and leave me alone.  --Treva 18:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Halo weapons
Hi. I see that you have converted the prod tag into a CSDG4 tag. Of course, I'm not here to complain (!) but I'd love to know what deletion debate it was. Was it specifically on that weapon or a more general Halo weapons group-deletion or, better yet, an all encompassing video-game-weapons-cruft debate? Pascal.Tesson 18:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Pascal.Tesson 18:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Nope
No, thats not true, however, the article was largely based off that article. The work was between me and a buddy at school. I'm surprised that you are so into this that you actually looked into it that deep. Get a life. --Treva 18:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way, learn where to leave comments (i.e. not in my adoption space).

Please use the preview button
I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again.

 * In general the article is not relevant to wikipedia, its not even a mainstream product and, millions of products like this one are out there and its pure advertisement, so must be removed.

Redirect
Charles, can we have a rational discussion on whether the XPLANE page should redirect to X-PLANE? I have been aware of X-PLANE for at least ten years and over the years there has been much confusion on this issue which I do not wish to exacerbate. XPLANE is definitely and provably a company, this is a fact and not in dispute to my knowledge. You will note that the first listing when doing a google search for XPLANE is XPLANE, not X-PLANE. The assumption that a search for XPLANE is a search for X-PLANE is questionable. May we discuss on the XPLANE talk page?

Also, can you help me find the deleted article on XPLANE? I wish to point people to it to enable further discussion.

I can assure you that I am not a vandal but a reasonable person who is trying to do the right thing.Dgray xplane 00:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Just a note to say thanks for your advice and help.Dgray xplane 03:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Charles, I am working on the XPLANE article at User:Dgray xplane/XPLANE and would appreciate any advice, iput or edits you may have. Thanks :)Dgray xplane 03:04, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Update: I have posted the XPLANE article for deletion review at Deletion review/Log/2006 November 24. Would you mind weighing in? Your comments/opinions are much appreciated.Dgray xplane 16:20, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Are you sponsoring links?
I recently found out about The Private Equity Exchange where I am to be a keynote speaker. I loved the idea that a community of Private Equity professionals can exchange across all asset classes. The summit is next week. I had never heard of it, probably because it is in Europe so I went to Wikipedia to add it to external links but I got erased time almost automatically. But other commercial links don't? Why? For instance on Private Equity you can find as external links: PrivateEquityOnline - The global private equity news website

But you deleted the link to the Private Equity Exchange, why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soloren2001 (talk • contribs)

->Thank you for your responses Charlesknight, however I must say I don't understand how you interpret the Wikipedia:External_links guidelines. You removed the link to "Private Equity Online" however, again I had not known this website and I found out about it when I went to see the article on Private Equity. I was THRILLED to find out about Private Equity Online so I decided to add Private Equity Exchange which I thought was very interesting as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soloren2001 (talk • contribs)

I find both sites to be valuable external ressources to people who want to know more about Private Equity: in one case with databases of people & firm, and in the other site for the many hours of videos discussions with PE professionals (and they are free)... Is it not one of Wikipedia's purpose: increase the liquidity of knowledge? The whole point of Wikipedia is taht it is not a book: you benefit from links (external and internal) to encourage the perusing of articles and the inter-textuality. Now wikipedia is an Encyclopedia so it cannot cover trends and actualities because they are all too fresh and subjectives (although can history be objective is a serious phylisophical question). So external links to external sites (not only newspapers' website and I've seen plenty of links to those in articles) allow wikipedia to have external inter-textuality, to be richer tahn a regular encyclopedia... Perhaps external links should be organized some other way (I've read something about wiki-directories, but it only applies when there are many dozen of links). So should we really interpret and apply the External Link guideline the way you do, have I missed something? I am new to all this, I appreciate your time to discuss this with me. Perhaps this should be in the Talks about External Links? Soloren2001 14:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

don't see how such schools are notable in anyway, i'd have add more but i had to go out, whats the point in every school having a page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.106.254 (talk • contribs)

what defence of there notability can there be? in columbine case the massacre has a page, so at best this page is duplicating information, there is simple no need for every school in the world to have page, only if the school has some history of importance or numerous famous alumnis, in most cases a single article on education, in the state/county/city would be more than adequate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.106.254 (talk • contribs)

FYI: You forgot subst: when warning User talk:Soloren2001
When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:test&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. It appears that WinBot fixed it for you.

Re:Twentyboy/Lonelyboy
Both Yandman and I know that he wasn't confused. We decided to let him/her stay because he/she has actually become a good editor. If you think we made the wrong decision, I won't try to stop you from reporting him/her, but I would request that you take it up with Yandman first. Cheers, --  T H  L CCD 19:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

You don't have to hold fire if you don't want to. I'm sure that Yandman wouldn't really care, and I know that I don't. If you want him/her banned, go for it. Just know that he/she will be back almost immediately in another sock, and will probably try to maintain a lower profile than this time. At least this way we know what user name he/she is using. It was a fluke that I stumbled upon this sock and was able to get a confession, and I doubt we will be so lucky next time. The only way to stop this person once and for all would be a permanent ban on the static IP address, which I know if you want it. Cheers, --  T H  L CCD 20:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

You and I had some good debates in the past, huh? We're very opinionated. Sorry for being uncivil with you. Look on the bright side. Now, you'll have the upper hand if we ever get into another debate. Surely, you're too nice of a person to use it or are you :P lol Lonelyboy 22:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Reference desk
This kind of opinion is irrelevant to the project, and potentially harmful. How would it look if the wrong person saw this and the media picked it up and ran a story about "Wikipedia calls Scientology an evil sick cult"? I think the we should refrain from offering personal opinion as a standard practice, but particularly when dealing with sensitive subjects, this kind of polemic is unhelpful. Friday (talk) 22:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * At any rate, I've removed your comment as needlessly inflammatory. Please don't make this kind of comment again.  Friday (talk) 22:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Charles

My reference to Netquantum as 'Netqueerperson' may be immature, but it is NOT homophobic. Centuries before homosexuals hijacked the words gay and queer, the word queer referred to an 'unusual' person. That is my reference to Netquantum. He is an EXTREMELY queer person, as you will discover if you trace back all his contradictory and innane contributions on this subject. In particular, he has gone out of his way to have Enviga removed from Wiki, or if it remains turn it into an advertisement for an obscure competing product (as he sees it) from his home country of Switzerland. He made a whole lot of baloney claims that the Swiss product invented carbonated teas (not true), that the Swiss product had patents on their product (not true), that Nestles/Coke scientists STOLE the formula from the Swiss manufacturer(not true). These were ALL a figment of his imagination, and I spent days getting the evidence to prove he was wrong. The Swiss product uses green tea extracts from Bayer, just like most of the other green tea beverage suppliers. There is NOTHING exclusive about it, moreover, the formula is totally dissimilar to Enviga - so his insistence on incorporating, nay dominating the Enviga page (see his early contributions) with the Swiss product just made no sense at all. But like a bad smell, he kept coming back making ever-more ridiculous statements. Then he has the cheek to claim that what I wrote about Enviga was just an advertisement for them (which is patently ridiculous if you bother to read it) and more recently has argued that Enviga should not be in Wiki at all. You get the picture. He is either commercially involved with the Swiss product, or hates Coca Cola, or is a moron. Sorry to be so blunt, but there can not be any other explanation for his weird behaviour. Notwithstanding my clumsy attempt to contribute on this subject, my intentions all along have been to educate the reader. Netquantum has the opposite intention, ie, to censor and hijack information, misrepresent the truth, and promote a competing product to Enviga by piggybacking of the Enviga page. He should have set up a separate page for the Swiss product and blabbed on forever about it, but has constantly refused to do so. This says a lot about his true intentions.

Grosvenor PFC
I see you had nominated Grosvenor PFC for deletion under the AfD process. After your nomination, the AfD template had been removed numerous times, being replaced each time by MER-C. However, the template ended up being removed and was missing for most of the discussion period. I have relisted the discussion under the December 9 AfD log. You may want to watch articles you nominate so as to ensure that these kinds of acts of vandalism do not go unnoticed. Agent 86 00:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Simpsons neologisms
Fanboys have had free reign in Wikipedia for a long time and it will take a huge effort to distinguish the useful content among the fruits of their obsessions. In general, I'm an inclusionist. I hate to see good data removed. But when we're talking about stuff that fails to meet WP's central policies -- not just subjective arguments about notability or a sensible level of detail, but basic criteria like being able to cite a claim -- then we have to stand our ground. --Dystopos 18:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Gosh.


 * "spoil the real meaning of wiki" - "wiki" is a shorter form of the Hawaiian word "wikiwiki" which means "fast". I see no evidence of sloth on Charlesknight's part. Hmmm.
 * "instead of trying to be GOD" - We are told to "be bold"; does this not impart a responsibility on our part to "try to be god"? Or at least "try to be a demigod"?
 * If you haven't already done so; 124.7.16.250...it might be time for a nice cup of tea. Cheers! -- weirdoactor tundefinedc 22:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Star Trek
Actually the whole article is primarily unverifiable due to the fact it is not defined as canon by the copyright holder ("Alternate ranks of Star Trek are Starfleet ranks and insignia that have never appeared in canon Star Trek productions or materials" - the article its self) — These non-canon productions are licensed but are officially denied as part of the storyline of Star Trek, I've already added my deletion to the AfD and hopefully it should get nuked. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 11:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Sliders Revisions
Hi Charles! Just noticed your recent work on the Sliders entry, and I wanted to thank you for your changes. I am actually the webmaster of Sliders - The Dimension of Continuity (the fan site cited in many of the sections you deleted), and even I didn't feel very comfortable with that information on cast changes being added to Wiki. There is direct evidence for some of the reasons changes were made (such as an article / interview in an issue of "Another Universe" magazine which noted the firing of John Rhys-Davies), but much of my information on the cast changes is from production sources who did not want to go on the record. The information is accurate, but it's clouded in plausible deniability because those still working in Hollywood do not want to be the victims of reprisals due to the fact they talked.

I do have a question, though; and I was hoping you could help. My question concerns entries I will make in the individual episode entries; I will be noting information taken from the production scripts that notes unaired scenes and expanded scenes that were never filmed yet help to better explain the story of the episode. My concern is that the production scripts are the only source of this story information; are the production scripts good enough to be a source for citation?

I have been preparing to polish the Sliders Wiki entry for some time now; and my planned approach is to only add production information that helps someone to understand the series. Work on my own websites (such as The Dimension of Continuity and the upcoming Sliders.tv) will help supplement with more detailed explanations outside of Wiki; but I would like to make sure that the "gist" of important items have a home on Wiki. After all, none of us will live forever; and I would hate for the information to die with me. It's just not profitable or very feasible to publish all of the information in a hard copy, book format.

Thanks for any advice or help, and keep up the great work! DBHughes 23:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
