From the creator
Oh look! It's a new blank userpage!

Don't have anything to say right now, but at least this is here in case someone wants to talk to me about an edit.

I know who you are :)
I'd have thought you'd write more about yourself :) You may want to move your above intro to your userpage (from this user talkpage). I hope you enjoy your wiki experience! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 00:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Logged out by WP during edit, IP showing in page history
Anybody know if there is a way to fix this? I would prefer to have my account name only. It looks like my cookie expired right in the middle of typing in the edit :/ Thanks!


 * Nope, it used to be possible, but it took up too much developer time. I'm afraid the IP will have to live on in the page history. Henrik 18:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * You can always re-edit the page and add the user:Miles stuff by hand to the text if you want to claim it. But I came here to comment because I saw the name. Cheeky bastard! (meant in a friendly way) Sandpiper 15:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

your comments wanted
Please go here Articles for deletion/Rationales to impeach George W. Bush (2nd nomination) right aways and add your input. Merecat 15:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Was already on my way to vote. Be careful what you ask for, though...  :)   I'm not sure our political views match.  Not telling what mine are, though, that's not what I'm on Wikipedia for.  MilesVorkosigan 16:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

*** Important - Your input requested ASAP ***
Please see this Deletion review.

name choice
Your user page comment on height is quite appropriate. Do you have bug batter problems? ww 08:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Innapropriate vandalism tag?
How was that not appropriate? The user deleted my comment in a discussion where I was asking the user to be polite to other editors. They were clearly hostile in their intention. --Strothra 22:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * By your last comments on my talk page does that mean you would condone reverting their talk page back to the vandalism tag? I'd like a second opinion. --Strothra 22:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, after this comment I think I'll leave it alone.  That individual clearly isn't completely okay and will probably only get more irrational until they get themself banned. --Strothra 22:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:POINT
Hello, I was interested to read your comment about the Template Spoiler being up for deletion. Although you weren't the only person to invoke WP:POINT, I would like to know why you think it is being violated, and why I should be blocked. Thank you, Chuck 02:58, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I was only trying to use the Abu Ghraib thing as a comparison of something I was already familiar with. My intention is not to get rid of the pics in that article, I already had that battle. I am currently concerned with the spoiler template, and you'll have to believe me when I say, I honestly think it is unneccesary. I was incorrect to list the reason for deletion as it was censorship, as it is not, but I could not think of another way to word what the problem was, which was later done under the few delete votes. Thank you for your comments and criticism, Chuck 07:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Blocked by mistake? Don't think so.
Miles, I always feel I'm likely to get these mysteries wrong, but unless I was completely derailed by the unbelievable autoblockery that hit WBardwin last night, there's surely chicanery at User talk:David Shield. What makes you think David Shield was only hit by autoblocks? Please check out my message, let me know what you think. Bishonen | talk 09:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC).

Oh, seriously. There's good faith and there's crazy talk. Bishonen | talk 00:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC).

Re: If you dislike humour
I'm afraid I don't follow. So you're saying to ignore the comments based on English-mockery, user-comparison and uncivility? Clever. But I'll pass. &mdash;Eternal Equinox | talk 21:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Replying here as you removed my initial comment from your page.


 * To clarify: If you don't like reading jokes that don't concern you that are posted on someone else's talk page, perhaps you should stop reading them.  The theory is similar to hitting oneself over the head with a hammer.  If it hurts, stop doing it. MilesVorkosigan 21:35, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

World War I
No problem, actually I left the comments a couple of weeks ago, but nobody bothered to respond to them - and then they were archived (I was just about to start the WP:FARC too, but now I'll leave the comments up for longer and see if they can be addressed). AndyZ t 22:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * On your wording question: "virtually unavoidable" "almost predetermined" "almost pre-ordained".  Just ideas.  I don't really like the second two, but couldn't just come up with one.  :)  Wikibofh(talk) 17:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Katyn
Too many good people died there, russia never apologized, but they admitted they did a cover up... so it's important the victims get their justice, also, we need to include other info on Beria who asked stalin to approve of the killings...

News
Have you seen that Lois announced there will be at least one more Miles book? DS 23:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
