Welcome to the mathclub
My response at Talk:Chain rule was kind of terse. I hope it did not leave any hard feelings.

Welcome by the way to WikiProject Mathematics. That page, and expecially its talk page are where all the math-related talk on Wikipedia takes place. There is also a list of participants to sign on. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov 15:27, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Cheating in Counter-Strike
Oops. Brain fart on my part. Misread which change he'd made and just undid it. Gah, I hate Mondays. Thanks for correcting. --Habap 13:38, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi someone42, could you explain what the hat means in this article? Does it mean make into a unit vector?--MarSch 13:45, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

RuneScape fansites
Hi. Thanks for dropping me a line. I've been wondering about this for a few days, especially after trying to wrangle the people who keep either replacing other fansites with their own or moving "high traffic" ones to "medium traffic".

I'm not entirely sure that we need to have any of them. I know it would be helpful to have them for the RuneScape players who come here, but in my opinion external links are mostly supposed to be items that support things said in the article or items that would be included in the article but aren't for space considerations.

IMO to erase bias totally all of them would have to be removed. However, I'll take a look at lunch and see if any is a clear paragon of fansites...because I think that one or two may indeed make the article more informative. If you could do the same when you have time, maybe we can make a short list and put it on the talk page for comment. We could be bold (and erase them without comment), but I'd at least like to try and get a consensus. :) --Syrthiss 14:54, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, I took a look and realized I kind of have a problem: I don't play RuneScape so I have a hard time judging these sites. :(
 * My random feeling on the matter is that I'd prefer one of the forums and one of the dynamic sig places (http://www.runescapecommunity.com/ and whatever). We likely don't need the dutch or russian fansites on an english-wikipedia.


 * You have any thoughts? --Syrthiss 02:54, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


 * (per discussion on my talk page) Ok, though that I would have to leave up to you. I don't know anything about portals. :/  Heh I also realized that you have been editing here about 2 months longer than I have.  I should be coming to you with questions =D.--Syrthiss 16:46, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Have you actually viewed the discussion page on that subject? I've interacted on it a considerable amount of times, if you cared to look. - Deathrocker 16:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Emo (slang)
Yeah, he's interacted on it, but he usually offered points that have nothing to do with the discussion at hand, then refers to the people who disagree with him as "vandals".

I'm disappointed that you think I'm not discussing the disputes. You should read the Talk:Emo (slang) article in more detail. Half of that page is me trying to explain my position.

The problem in the article is that Deathrocker holds a minority position about "emo" - that "emo" only describes the emo of the 80s and nothing else, that modern emo is "nu emo" - and keeps editing the article to reflect that position. Several of us have tried to point out that his position is not reflected in verifiable articles, but he doesn't care and simply reverts our edits. (He also believes that "goth" only describes the movement of the 80s, that people in the 90s who called themselves "goth" were misusing the term. So any time someone talks about "goth" in a context outside the 80s, he removes it.)

Actually, the real problem is that he won't allow us to modify his content, even if we provide an explanation. He's been blocked twice in the past week for violating the three revert rule. I'll concede that I was given a half-long block for violating the same rule, but I didn't realize intially that Deathrocker was anything other than a vandal. His first edit of the article removed two full paragraphs without any explanation. -- ChrisB 20:38, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

The Whois inquiry came back that it's an allocated portable IP. Unless you have other information that indicates that that is wrong... --Nlu (talk) 06:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's "allocated portable" whatever that means, I just checked it myself. Australia. Further reply is on my talk page but please no more comments to me as I'm off to bed. If he strikes again and his edits are clear vandalism then please post again on the board as you did before. Cheers. --kingboyk 07:55, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
