I never edited Sunwing.
It sounds like an interesting novel, but I never edited the article on Sunwing. Perhaps there was some mistake?

EDIT: Nevermind. I guess it was another user on this computer. Sorry about the confusion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.56.54.144 (talk • contribs).

sorry, its just he keeps messing up all the colors, and it seems that he doesnt like the New York Yankees and that is the only reason why he keeps changing the colors, and he already has been blocked for vandalism, so shouldnt he blocked again--Yankees10 03:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Yankees10

all right thanks for your help--Yankees10 03:35, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Yankees10

Team colors
I noticed your message to Yankees10 regarding the changes to Reggie Jackson, so please let me explain. How is the practice for gaining a consensus or resolving said disputes? With Reggie - if you look at his info box, you will see that he played more years with the A's than the Yankees and put up better stats while winning more World Series titles. I think that is a pretty solid argument for A's colors there - especially since he is already shown with a Yankee cap, which would thus be a good split for both franchises. Also, if you read the article, you will see that Reggie originally intended to wear an A's cap on his Hall of Fame plaque but switched to the Yankees only after the A's fired him from a coaching job in 1991. In Reggie's case, I think the argument is strongest for Oakland. Why shouldn't the consensus for change be from the other direction? Who is to decide the status quo?

There are other players - such as Sparky Lyle, Len Dykstra, Gary Carter, Carlton Fisk, Jeff Nelson, and David Cone who could equally be argued for different teams, and since this is all subjective so nobody can prove a right answer. I just don't want to see myself get blocked from something so subjective - as who is Yankees10 to decide definitively whether Reggie is a Yankee or Athletic - especially since his username shows that he is a Yankee fan and thus biased to begin with.

And finally, with regard to Yankees10 specifically, he has sent several threatening notes to me and has also used profanity in the public editing section of some of the players' articles. I don't think profanity should be allowed anywhere on public Wikipedia sections, especially since children may be editing. I will try and avoid making egregious changes to certain players if it is obvious they are for one team, but I think it is a very fair argument to show Dykstra as a Met, Reggie as an Oakland A, or Carlton Fisk as a Red Sox.

I have not threatend him, that is a lie, I havent said anything like: I will kill you if you do that again, so he shouldnt even try to say I threatend him--Yankees10 22:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Yankees10

Reggie Jackson
I have followed your advice and posted a query on the Reggie discussion page. Please take a look and tell me if you think it is reasonable. Thanks.Pascack 22:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

so-called vandalism
Aren't you a little young to be playing the "authority"??

Anyway, did you see what the other guy had done? Why didn't you to his page and threaten him instead of me? He was the one vandalizing serious articles. 201.83.87.130 17:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Just a hello...
I've seen your name several times now and have liked what I've seen. Great work! Douglasmtaylor 01:57, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Your E-Mail
Sorry, but my name is not George and I did not threaten you. Perhaps life as a "Vandal-Hunter" has messed with your paranoia levels... 201.83.87.130 04:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi there!

I have just joined wikipedia and am reading through the tutorials but I'm wondering if I am able to create a new page on a new subject which isn't up yet or can I only modify the ones that already exist? Could you please help me?

Thanks a lot

Question. . . is there any reason I can't copy and paste the code from this page, replacing your username with mine, and get the bot to autoarchive my talk page too? Douglasmtaylor 22:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

"Sure, you can read this page for info about creating new pages. I also advise you to read our notability policies, so that you don't accidentally create an article which shouldn't be here (ex., an article about yourself is not allowed, as you're probably not notable enough to be in an encyclopedia). Out of interest, what article do you want to create? Happy editing! -- P.B. Pilhet 22:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)"

Thanks a lot for answering. I'm wanting to put up an article about a new mix/style of martial arts which I do. We are creating a new name for it which we will have all rights to before putting anything on wikipedia. I just wanted to find out about putting new things on here for future reference while we work on everything else. Do articles have to be approved?

By the way, is there an easier way to reply to messages? I'm not sure I'm even sending this to the same person haha. Still trying to figure things out on here =)

Thanks ;D

The example you gave me about the red sox and you making your own little team...they are the same sport but yours would be a smaller version. In my case its something completely different to other styles so not just a smaller team of the same thing. What we do is a form of mixed martial arts (yet not mma since we have different rules) so we cant be called MMA. Other martial arts which are included in what we do are things like aikido, ju jitsu, judo etc all things that have their own page on wikipedia yet we dont fall under any of them since we're a blend of all of them. It's something that's been around for years with many people doing it, not something me and my friends just made up, it just hasnt really been labelled. So in this case as we are wanting to name it and make it a style on its own and not "a blend of this and that", would it only be eligable to have it's own article on wikipedia when it becomes huge worldwide sport? At what point would it be acceptable to put something about it on wikipedia?

Thanks heaps ;D
