Although I am largely inactive lately, I still read Wikipedia frequently and will be able to find and reply to messages left for me fairly quickly. After all these years, it took an xkcd comic to finally get me to donate to the Wikimedia foundation! THANK YOU XKCD!!!!

Sex 3.0
Soap, I just created a stub about a social / sexual revolutonary movement called Sex 3.0 with the aim of adding detail to the stub over the next day or two.

In order to explain Sex 3.0 you need to explain in detail the Sex 1.0 era (the hunter gatherer era of mankind), the 2.0 era (8,000 BC up to and including the present day) and then 3.0 (present day forwards) and how and why it came about. Its going to take me some time to flesh this page out.

However, I did not get a chance to add detail to the stub because you insta-deleted it and mistakenly labeled it as vandalism.

Please un-delete it or advise as to why you mistook this for vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pizza Lord (talk • contribs) 02:40, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

PS Try googling Sex 3.0 if you dont believe the movement exists.


 * fwiw, I speedy deleted the article as promotion; there is also an article about the related book, which I have listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sex 3.0: A Sexual Revolution Manual. There's some discussion on my talk p. Needless to say, i endorse what you have earlier done on this, and I regret the ed. did not take your excellent advice about not using WP for promotion.

 * Dear soap, the ip you just blocked has not been give a fair block. They have abused my page and sent offensive messages, they should have a much longer block in my opinion. Thєíríshwαrdєn  - írísh αnd prσud  20:12, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't like to jump to a high-level block for an IP who's vandalizing on their first day ever; if there's evidence that it's a long term user who's simply hopping IP's than that'd be different. At any rate if they come back we can always increase the block duration.  But remember, blocks are not meant to be punitive; I'm not excusing his vandalizing your pages, but that in itself isn't a good reason to make a longer-than-usual block.  — Soap — 20:27, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

African-American majority counties
Well, I am just using the American factfinder. So far everything I have found I have done from the 2000 census list. I am not sure I got rid of everything on that list using 2010 data. However I have to agree the old maps were better. It is sad that nearly 2 years after the census data was released we still have counties that do not have 2010 census data listed. I am not sure I have the patience to make the list, but I figured we needed a 2010 list, distinct from the 2000 list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:00, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Should I include Washington, D.C. on the list. Its non-Hispanic African-American population in 2010 was 50.0%.  On the other hand 52.2% of the population in D.C. identified as being African-American if we include both those who identified as being Hispanic as well and those who identified other races.  50.7% is the most reported figure.  Then there is Bowie, Maryland where 51.1% of the population identified as being African-American, but we currently class it only as having an African-American plurality population because 2.4% of the population marked both African-American and a different race (1.2% of the population marked being both white and black).  I am thinking maybe we should include all three of these figures in the list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I would include them with notations. Even if DC was something like 49.8%, people would likely expect it to be on the list, so I would include it even then (with a note saying that it is not actually >50%).  — Soap — 21:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

You've got mail!
Well, actually, you've got two emails from me, the second one being a correction of the first. Kurtis (talk) 03:57, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi
I'm sorry to see the health problems tag above. This is a semi-random note, I've seen sensible comment from yourself so wondered if you'd have input re a possible addition of "foreigner" under NPA text. See Wikipedia talk:No personal attacks. Page seems to get almost no traffic, which I hope means because it is so widely accepted. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:17, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Help with Personal Attacks
I am seeking help with personal attacks to a biography website. I've contacted you since you were listed as having dealt with the same individual/IP address in a previous posting. I contacted an administrator, but felt his/her response was lacking in both helpful direction and objectivity. I am new to Wiki editing and would appreciate your feedback. I'm even unsure if I'm placing this in the correct place. My apologies in advance for protocol mistakes. Site is F. Charles Brunicardi.

EdinBot
The bot was not supposed to do anything on the en.wiki. I was just about to generate the users by edit count report, but apparently this was written to en.wiki instead of bs.wiki. I'll investigate how this happened and try to avoid this in the future. -- Edinwiki (talk) 02:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, I've unblocked it, and there is no autoblock, so it shouldn't affect any other bots or users on this wiki. Thanks for the quick reply.  — Soap — 02:31, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Found the issue and fixed it. Everything seems fine right now. I've now also put a bot template on the bot's page. Thanks. :) -- Edinwiki (talk) 02:35, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Title blacklist false positive
I'm trying to move Spring Break…Here to Party (with an ellipsis) to Spring Break...Here to Party (with three periods) per WP:ELLIPSIS, which discourages the use of the ellipsis character. But for some reason, the latter title is flagging the blacklist. However, I can create a page at Spring Break...Here to Party no problem. Any idea why this false positive is popping up? And can you move the page for me? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:28, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Devil May Cry
But, how exactly can I "show" that? There's about 200 videos on Youtube that demonstrate the effect in action. And in the particular way that DmC does it, no other game comes to mind. The closest would be, ironically, Bayonetta...but even that is a stretch at best. But look here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/605600-dmc-devil-may-cry/66017297  That guy's removal spree and that thread coincide with the dates. Not to mention, those are his ONLY edits on here. Topped of course with the fact that he never really bothered to explain his reasoning, whereas I'm doing that right here. Again. So, yeah. If it's a content dispute, it would mean both parties have arguments as to what should be on the page. He has no argument. No reason. Just reversals. --68.230.252.5 (talk) 02:44, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

I've sent you an email recently
Did you receive it?

Don't worry, I wouldn't be offended if you simply chose not to respond (there's no pressing need to), I just wanted to make sure you had gotten my message. Kurtis (talk) 04:53, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah I got the email. And apparently the orange "new messages" bar is gone and it isn't coming back, so I'll have to start paying more attention to email in general.  Im going to switch to a new spam-free address to make checking my email less annoying.  — Soap — 11:24, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! =) Kurtis (talk) 01:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Just wanted to thank you for reverting the vandalism on my User Page!

The Grand Cenobite (talk) 02:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC) 

Since your user page nor talk page say that you watchlist pages that you've left a comment on I'm erring on the side of caution and informative doings. I left a question there too that you as an Admin could surely answer. Thanks a bunch. MM (What's up pup?) - (Chocolate Cakes ◕‿◕) 12:53, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

You have the conviction to become a true servant of the Prophet of Islam! Islam will TRIUMPH! I invite you to accept Islam, to proclaim there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Final Prophet! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.26.111.51 (talk) 23:26, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Soap. I just wanted to express my gratitude for unblocking my account. This is the last edit I'm going to make with this one. Thanks again, hope to see you around on WP. CarringtonEnglish *t/c*  00:55, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Neoteny, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sessile (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
