Citation formatting
I noticed the citations you have been adding to the Hampshire Constabulary article, in response to the Refimprove template I added, in further response to the good article nomination you put up for it. Though your intention of verification, one of the central ideas of Wikipedia, is admirable, the way you are doing it is a little off. External links are merely portions of references—a more complete method works like this (which I copied and pasted off of Citing sources).


 * The connection between the relevant text and its footnote is indicated by a number or symbol which appears both after the relevant text and before the footnote.


 * 1. Place a  where you want a footnote reference number to appear in an article—type the text of the note between the ref tags.
 * 2. Place reflist or  in an otherwise empty "Notes" or "References" section near the end of the article—the list of notes will be automatically generated here. If you want to create columns of notes, write 2.

Within these tags, you should put information relevant to the link (the author, the date the page was published, when you retrieved the page, etc.) You may want to use cite web to do this.

Other than that, you're doing very well for someone who is new to the wiki. If you have any other questions, ask on my talk page. Kakofonous (talk) 02:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

This is User:PMDrive1061 editing under my IP. I didn't realize that I hadn't signed in. To which edit were you referring? --71.102.80.39 (talk) 20:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * For the record, here I am again signed in. :)  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I am so terribly sorry, I have been watching the Recent Changes page in an effort to spot and revert vandalism, and after I had reverted a piece of vandalism, and I went to warn the user, I accidentally clicked onto your talk page instead of the user that I had been going to warn for vandalism, I have removed the template from your IP's User Page and I have transferred the real vandals IP page. Once again I am terribly sorry.--Mifter (talk) 20:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * LOL! No sweat, bro.  It's happened to me before when I've played "whack-a-vandal" without signing in first.  Thanks for the hard work and for your concern.  :)  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Yea, I was looking at the "New User" Contributions page and I saw that your name didn't have a welcoming yet so I decided to add one :). Thanks.--Mifter (talk) 01:43, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

thanx
Thanx for the welcome! Can you help me by fixing the technical errors made on the article Quentin Elias! I am really new to this :p --Britneyishot (talk) 01:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi!, I am glad that I could be of assistance with the welcome, I love to help out newer users :D. Also, I reverted the edit that you made to Quentin Elias, so any of the technical errors that you made are now gone :).--Mifter (talk) 01:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Satellite
Sorry for causing confusion, but i'm trying to make an edit, but the bot won't let me. i'm moving a large section from Satellite to List of orbits, and it kept reverting me.. it recommended to move it in smaller chunks, so that's what i was doing - now you are about to block me! please understand your mistake.. thanks, 82.6.96.66 (talk) 15:11, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * First off, I don't have the power to block you only an Admin can block you, second, blanking a whole page of content is not considered a "Constructive" edit it is instead considered page blanking (Not because you blanked the whole page, but because you blanked an entire section), Instead you should simply copy the info and leave the info on both of the pages as not to cause confusion then leave a reason why you felt that the edit was required in the edit summary. I hope that I cleared that up for you--Mifter (talk) 15:15, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Trying to pick up the style as I go along.--Henry Geist (talk) 18:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It's no problem, I remember when I had just joined Wikipedia and when somone put a welcome on my talk page it was like a godsend to have all of those links right there for me helping me learn how to use the Wiki. If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to ask, I will answer them to the bast of my ability :).--Mifter (talk) 15:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for giving me all that information I see you have one but thankyou anyway. Plus what Henry Geist said.Chubbennaitor (talk) 13:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Really, as I said above, its no problem, I love to help out some of the new users to Wikipedia, beacuse I remember when I first joined, that when I got that welcome with all of the links it was a heck of a lot easier to learn how to use Wikipedia. As I said above if you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to ask me :).  Thanks.--Mifter (talk) 15:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thankyou I shall remember that. In advance have a Happy Easter. Chubbennaitor (talk) 18:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

help
How do you help others with questions they ask by the questions on there talk page? Hope you can give me a helpful answer. I wouldn't mind helping people instead of being helped. There are some riddles on my user page now.Chubbennaitor (talk) 19:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I am sorry that it took me so long to answer your question, I have been a little busy unfortunately, anyways, in order to answer questions you can look at Category:Wikipedians looking for help, when someone puts on their talk page, their name automatically shows up there and then you can answer their questions.  I hope this helps and once again I am sorry that it took so long to answer.--Mifter (talk) 22:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Just goes to show what 10 minutes on Huggle can do! Thanks a lot, I've never had an anti-vandal star before!  WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN aka john lennon  19:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yea I know what you mean :) and being that you have never recieved a Anti-vandal star then let me be the first to wish you Congrats on your first anti-vandal star :). Thanks,--Mifter (talk) 21:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: Barnstar
Why thank you! I've never seen that barnstar before, I like the way it looks. Very kind of you, look forward to seeing you about in the future. SGGH speak! 23:37, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Really, I should be the one thanking you, because without you WP:LE would be nothing, you have made WP:LE the great WikiProject that it is today by building it from the ground up, and because of that you truly deserve this award. Also, this is a rather new award (It was created on the 22nd of February, 2008) and you are one of its first recipients :) Thanks.--Mifter (talk) 00:05, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Cool, thanks again! SGGH speak! 15:22, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
I have granted your rollback request. You have no history of edit wars or bad behaviour that I can find, and you have always been top notch in your interactions with me. I would suggest you practice with it once or twice, perhaps edit after my comment here then roll it back, as roll back can make some seriously major changes and it can go wrong if you don't take care. (Consider yourself lucky, I have four rollback buttons and an undo button for each edit!) Enjoy. SGGH speak! 15:29, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks a Ton for granting my request for Rollback Abilities, I will be sure to always use them correctly and never for anything other for what my abilities are supposed to be used for. On another note, Wow 4 rollback buttons and the undo button, those must be a lot to handle :P.  Anyways thanks again!--Mifter (talk) 21:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't vandalizing that page.--71.232.157.145 (talk) 14:38, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I apologize, I just looked at the page and I apologize for reverting your edits, they weren't vandalism and I apologize, I have removed the warning from your talk page and I once again apologize for reverting your edits and for all of this. Thanks, --Mifter (talk) 14:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, I was pissed and I overreacted. I apologize too then.--71.232.157.145 (talk) 14:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

My RfA
Thank you very much for giving your support to my admin application, which recently closed successfully (36/3/1). I hope I can continue to justify the confidence that you have placed in me. If there is any way that I can help out more, please drop me a line. Thanks again. - 52 Pickup  (deal)  22:20, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you very much for the Barnstar. I will point out that I don't quite edit only from my static IP. As I move about the University where I work my IP changes quite frequently depending on which proxy I am near and how often they refresh. But in my office my addy is concrete. I cannot guess exactly how many edits I have amassed over the past 4 years. Over 20000 as a former logged user... I can make an educated estimation that my total combined edits are well over 50000. Keeping in the background is just where I like to stay. I turned down many an admin nomination when I had an account. I am here to simply edit. And have no lofty goals beyond that. Again, I appreciate the B_star! Have a nice day! 156.34.142.110 (talk) 03:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I like all 3 boxes. I would alter the wording of box 1 to say simply... "would much rather edit from an IP address" that corrects the spelling to BTW :D There are other staunch veteran IP wikipedians besides me. Perhaps your boxes would suit their edit philosophy as well? Look at User:68.39.174.238. He's been around as long as I have (but he's been an IP longer than me... remember I rolled a user account over 20000 edits before going IP) He and I have never officially "wiki-met" :D. We have different fields of interest. He's not the only one. There are many 'vet' IPs like me. Like your box says... we are just here to edit. Thanks for the boxes. I will install them when I return to my desk(and static 'home') Have a nice day. 156.34.226.160 (talk) 23:08, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback, I have just changed the userbox as you have requested and I will go an reccomend that to the other IP that you told me about :). Thanks,--Mifter (talk) 23:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Edit to Adam Levine article
I am curious as to why you reverted my edit to the Adam Levine article. I was looking at information about the SNL skit that he was in, and noticed that whoever had originally wrote the page had written a broken link in the page. So all I changed was fixing the broken link, so that it would actually link to the intended page ( Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ). What was wrong with this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.170.255.14 (talk) 02:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow, I can't believe how stupid I was... I thought that you had removed the ] from the link not added it. I am so sorry about all this, I'll go and remove the warning from your talk page right away, I guess that’s what I get for looking at vandalized pages all day long...  Anyways, once again I apologize for all of this and I'll go remove the warning right now, --Mifter (talk) 02:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem, thanks for keeping wikipedia clean and such! 209.170.255.14 (talk) 03:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

prescott bush
please do a fact check before you accuse me of lying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.60.218.222 (talk) 21:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello There!, I don't mean to be rude in saying this but I did do a fact check on the information that you added to Prescott Bush (I checked the top 10 results on a Msn search of Prescott Bush) and in all the results that I saw none of them even made mention of him participating in a Military Coup against the U.S.  If you have any credible information that contradicts what I have found then I would be more than happy to take a look at it :). Thank you, --Mifter (talk) 21:49, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

"According to retired Representative John W. McCormack, former Speaker of the House, if the late Major General Smedley Butler of the U.S. Marine Corps had not been a stubborn devotee of democracy, Americans today could conceivably be living under an American Mussolini, Hitler, or Franco.


 * "An ironic aspect of the conspiracy General Butler unmasked is that few Americans have ever heard about it, or even know anything about the general.

"Former Speaker McCormack told the author, “In peace or war he was one of the outstanding Americans in our history. I can’t emphasize too strongly the very important part he played in exposing the Fascist plot in the early 1930’s backed by and planned by persons possessing tremendous wealth.”

"The crucial events of the plot to seize the White House unfolded between July and November, 1933, with hearings before the McCormack-Dickstein Committee begun in New York City on November 20, 1934. On November 26 the committee released a statement detailing the testimony it had heard, and its preliminary findings. On February 15, 1935, the committee submitted to the House of Representatives its final report, verifying completely the testimony of General Butler.

"There is strong evidence to suggest that the conspirators may have been too important politically, socially, and economically to be brought to justice after their scheme had been exposed before the McCormack-Dickstein Committee of the House of Representatives. The largely anti-Roosevelt press of the New Deal era scotched the story as expeditiously as possible." (From The Plot To Seize the White House, by Jules Archer)

The story resurfaces:

In July of 2007 an American investigative journalist, John Buchanan, broke through more of the fog surrounding these largely buried events of critical importance to our understanding of both history and on-going political-economic realities of power in society. What he found was that in addition to the details already outlined here, it is established beyond any doubt that Prescott Bush, George Bush Jr's grandfather, was indeed involved in this grim and sinister plot. After this reporter again broke through the icy chill of silence and forgetfulness, a U.K. newspaper picked up the story, the Guardian, followed by the BBC, which did a full documentary on the subject. Since that one brave and determined journalist sought and found the truth, and unearthed the story in July 2007, there has been a growing revelation and interest surrounding this most astonishing, or at least, striking of events. Smedley Butler should be read and honoured, and the Business Plot both studied, and more importantly, learned from. The next coup against democracy may not be so direct, but no less dangerous. The price of freedom is in truth, eternal vigilance. This is neither paranoia nor "conspiracy theory" but simply a clear and honest understanding of history.

 * Hi there, I apologize for all the confusion about the edits that you made, frankly after a quick look I thought that the edits were vandalism and thus reverted them, now after taking a look at your sources I see that the information that you added was indeed quiet credible, I apologize for my mistake and as soon as I save this message I will go and remove the warning from your talk page.  In the future to avoid similar confusion I recommend citing your sources as so everyone know that they are indeed credible I recommend citing your sources (see here) by adding after the material and by then adding where the data came from, what info you found from it, etc. (For more info see here).

Tupac Shakur timeline
What is the purpose of this section? I would like to remove it, as it appears to be a sort of strange programming on an article. Please reply on your talk page, as I've watchlisted it. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I just took a look at the article, and after thinking I frankly do not know what that section is (Although it appears to be a failed attempt at creating a Timeline of his early years), I did not add the section, the only edit that I made on the article was this one and that was just rolling back vandalism.  Therefore, if you would like to remove it then by all means do so and Be Bold! in your changes to the article :). Thank you,--Mifter (talk) 23:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey thank you for the First Day of Spring message. I want to say one thing.. you should remove the time stamp from that template since the time you're giving it to users will vary.. just a suggestion. --staka (T ・C) 22:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

The Planet
Yes well its considered full summer here where I now live but as a former colder part of the northern hemisphere chap and still somewhat in the northern hemisphere (about one sixth of the way up) but if you keep writing these you are going to send one to somebody for whom it is the first day of autumn, which we never have here. Anyway this is not a criticism, its just that we are, and really, an international encyclopedia. Best wishes. Thanks, SqueakBox 22:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism
I did not vandalize the Ellen Page article earlier today! It was someone else using my account! Kristy22 (talk) 22:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi there, First off, I didn't even warn/reprimand you about the edits so you would have to talk to <font color="1E90FF">Chris or Momusufan about the warnings, second if you truly did not make the edits then I recommend that you IMMEDIATELY change you password to prevent future instances of hacking, because if your account is compromised it is Wikipedia policy to block the account.  I hope that this helps.  Thanks, --Mifter (talk) 22:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Spring Equinox
Hi. Thanks for the greeting card! When I clicked show, the thing displayed as " ~ " rather than your signature. That's not much of a problem though, as I can always look at the history. Anyway, the "first day of spring" is rather ironic where I live. Why? This morning and afternoon it was blowing snow at 50 km/h. I told someone, "it's SPRING!" They replied: "Convince me. The snow is blowing, it's bitterly cold, and it's really windy", or something like that. I even posted anyway on my MSN, "It's spring! *snowing*". Don't worry, soon enough we will get into spring conditions here, too. I heard on the news it should come near mid-April. I live in Canada, by the way, so it sometimes snows in April. Well, I counted we've had about 4 thunderstorm days so far this year, but only one actual thunderstorm with lightning. Anyway, I appreciate the friendly reminder. Thanks. ~ A H  1 (TCU) 22:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Can I give you an anti-barnstar for spamming around 300 people so far? Yes, I'm having a bad day (sorry, you now get the pointy end of it, just to counter the optimists above), but randomly spamming editors isn't universally appreciated. Just fyi. -- Quiddity (talk) 23:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Grace Kingston McLeod
Hi, you recently had your say on Articles for deletion/Grace Kingston McLeod, well while you were making your edit i was bundling the nomination with similar pages so the nomination now has these pages listed, so your oppinon might change and you oppinon on the other nominated pages might be different, but i just thought i would let you know, that the nomination has changed, incase you want to change your vote. cheers Printer222 (talk) 14:27, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Your ridiculous note on my talk page
Uhhhhh did you really think it was a productive use of your time to go into my talk page and un-delete a bunch of comments from almost two months ago? How sad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.3.128.3 (talk) 16:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

again
Would it be too much trouble for you to leave me alone? What, exactly, did I ever do to you that prompted you to engage me in the first place? Does it bother you that I am quietly improving various articles with factual, verifiable information and proper grammar and style in accordance with Wikipedia's rules?

In retrospect, do you not see how disruptive and counter-productive your contact with me has been today? If you're a rational and reasonably intelligent person, I think you do.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.3.128.3 (talk) 18:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Comment about Cprice's Checkuser
Hi, I can't say I could tell for sure what the person was hoping to accomplish. To me, the most likely explanation would be that he started a decent article in good faith, and then had it plastered over with 3 different cleanup templates and the speedy tag. Then he thought that since he'd apparently broken so many rules, he'd just delete the content like the template said and be done with it. Since every edit he made got reverted, he tried to do the same by logging out, and then by creating a new account. I guess what he was trying to say was 'I regret ever writing anything here, let me just delete it and be done with it'. And since his user talk page looks like this after starting just one article in likely good faith, I'd be surprised if he bothered to come back. - Bobet 14:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Please note that I'm not blaming you for anything, since reverting blanking of articles or removal of tags is a good thing, it's just that it's usually easier to assume good faith until someone proves they're trying to do something disruptive. An explanation instead of templates on his talk page could've helped though. - Bobet 14:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

St. Cyril of Jerusalem Church and School
I strongly disagree with your tagging this article. There are numerous articles on major parishes in the Catholic Church. St. Cyril's has thousands of members in the heart of Los Angeles. Any proposal to delete this article (as opposed to numerous other articles on other churches and parishes) is inexplicable. Please clarify your thinking. Cbl62 (talk) 01:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks Mifter. I was in the process of compiling a list of other chuches and synagogues in my area to illustrate the point (Westchester Lutheran Church and School, West Angeles Church of God in Christ, West Angeles Cathedral, Valley Beth Shalom, Highland Park Lutheran Church, First Lutheran Church of Venice, Faithful Central Bible Church, Eagle Rock Baptist Church ...) but can now stop that task...Thanks.

Re: Watch your back
Thanks for the warning, although it was too late - when I got the message, the user had already been blocked. However, I'll keep a look out after the user is unblocked. That IP isn't the only one to hate me at the moment though: I reverted one of their edits, and got accused of stalking their edits, so that's what I did. I got some vandalism on User talk:Stwalkerster/Notices, but in the end they got blocked after my report to AIV. :) <font face="Verdana"> Stwalkerster [  talk  ]  19:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Moving Images
When you move an image to commons, please remove the Move To Commons tag. That way, the image is taken off CAT:COMMONS and it makes it much easier for other editors to know what images need to be moved. Undeath (talk) 21:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
