Matt Heaffy
Um, you just tagged my talk page with a vandalism notice concerning the Matt Heafy page. To the best of my knowledge I have corrected the spelling of his band Capharnaum (you have mistakenly changed it back to Capaharnaum) and removed the clear vandalism relating to Heafy's love of 'gay anal sex'. You appear to have simply restored this vandalism. So, sorry: Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 15:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Adding "ilike eggs" doesn't seem very constructive to me.... StaticGull Talk  15:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If you had bothered to check the edit history before slapping me down: . You'll notice I was in the process if reverting a series of minor vandalisms. You however are simply being unhelpful. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 15:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Next time try to add an edit summary. StaticGull Talk  16:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: You may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. StaticGull Talk  16:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * J.delanoy reported IP on WP:AIV. StaticGull Talk  16:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. AP Shinobi (talk) 15:06, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Shinobi, it's best not to template the regulars. StaticGull's removal of that section was supported by consensus. The section is poorly written, POV and has no references. xenocidic (talk) 15:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Fitna/schism AsD
In the International_reaction_to_Fitna post, you undid my post with the comment "see afd discussion..."

 * Oh, I'm sorry about that. I thought I was removing it from the Fitna (film) article. Please feel free to repost the information you submitted. By "AfD" I was refferring to Articles for Deletion, more specifically the Schism (film) page, where Schism (film) was deemed unnotable. I hope I haven't offended you by undoing your edit. You can re-add your contribution by following this link. StaticGull Talk  10:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

New message
Hello, What was the change I supposedly made?

I have never editted an article on wikipedia in my life.

 * It will have probably been the person who had your IP address before you that made the edit. StaticGull Talk  12:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

How would that have worked? What was the change that they made?

 * It's common for an IP address to change between 'owners'. Usually when you disconnect from the internet (by turning off your router or otherwise) for about 5 minutes, your IP address changes. The change that the former 'owner' of the IP address made can be found here. StaticGull Talk  11:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

an overdue apology
I handled our previous encounter very poorly; using a condescending and snooty manner. I would like to extend my apologies to you for not assuming good faith, as well as for not apologizing sooner. J.d ela noy gabs adds 19:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Your comment at Talk:Fitna (film)
Hi StaticGull. On Talk:Fitna (film), an anon recently posted a comment in which he/she stated that the goal of the media and academics is "the destruction of the West", but that "they are too blind to see the horror of Islam". You replied that you agreed on that. Could you explain what you meant with this? Cheers, Face 21:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It is just that it seems as though Wikipedia is (at least thinking of) trading in some of its NPOV to become more "muslim-friendly". It seems logical to me that if Wikipedia uses "Sun Tzu" instead of "Sun Zi", "Koran" should be used instead of "Qur'an". StaticGull Talk  11:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Response to template
this is not damaging the work of others it is Freedom of speech. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.98.184.19 (talk) 15:10, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see how this can be seen as constructive. Try not to make personal attacks in your future edits. StaticGull Talk  17:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: your warning on Talk:Geert Wilders
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banned_books#M Possession and sale for historical reasons is legal in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. Only reproduction is forbidden due to copyrights (held by Bavarian state, expiring 70 years after the death of the author: 31. December 2015).

I've now added this, and if you block me for it -I WILL REPORT IT-. Best regards though, in hope of a misunderstanding.83.243.152.55 (talk) 15:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with that edit as it's constructive, it was only your other edit that I removed per WP:VAND and WP:PA. StaticGull Talk  08:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah. It was meant as a ha-ha. Got nothing personal against his wife though. Sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.243.152.55 (talk) 14:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

AWB clean ups
Hello StaticGull! I see you are doing a huge ammount of AWB clean up work today. That's good news! However, you should watch out with such automatic processes, as it is all too easy to make mistakes, like here, in which you replaced the Dutch word "Hier" with "Heir". I happen to have that article in my watchlist, and have corrected it. Cheers, Face 12:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll watch out better for things like that from now on. StaticGull Talk  13:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

APB URL Remover
Hi. APB Evolved is a official website for APB the game, this link is appropriate in the external link section.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.225.15 (talk) 18:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi! Although http://www.apb-evolved.com could be considered the most important APB fansite, it doesn't list any information that can't be included in the article. Therefore, it might be better not to inlcude it in the external links section. StaticGull Talk  11:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Would you agree that the site has to be the only single forums for APB, and has the developers on it actively. That being said I think we should add the link "until" a official forum goes up. http://apb-evolved.com/forums/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=7 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.225.15 (talk) 12:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Although that's true, Wikipedia discourages linking to forums, as well as websites requiring registration to view their content[1]. StaticGull Talk  16:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

If the forums are considered content, you don't have to register to view them or anything else on the website. Even still, right now that is the number one place to get APB information and its a valuable link to add. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.225.15 (talk) 11:26, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I suppose we could add it as an external link until other sources about the game appear. StaticGull Talk  11:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, excellent. As soon as a new official APB source comes online, we will go ahead and remove the APB Evolved URL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.225.15 (talk) 10:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion types
What's the difference between Speedy Deletion, Proposed Deletion, and Article for Deletion????StaticGull Talk  12:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:DEL will tell you all about them. It's worth reading the whole WP:DEL policy and following some of the links from it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
