Suggestion
"Articles should shape themselves, if you need a sandbox to help work out how an article should look then you probably should avoid editing that article to begin with." What a delightful comment. Though I don't mean to brag, I got Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 up to FA without you, [so saying methods that I and several other editors have decided to use are pointless and a waste of time is a rather stupid opinion. If you're going to be an ass about how James086, Cliff, RC and I thought out an implementation plan, that's your prerogative. But harassing me about it is not helping anything. You are not the be all and end all of Talk:Halo 3. David Fuchs ( talk ) 19:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Did I say anything about doing it entirely solo? No- I just said that your stupid bating and put-downs aren't needed. And I'm not going to bother responding to anything else you do, because your talk page archives make it clear not only are you are a condescending ass to plenty of people, but you don't understand Wikipedia's policies to boot. Goodbye. David Fuchs ( talk  ) 19:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Halo 3's 8.9 from the mentally retarded moron
Okay? THat guy was completeyl retarded. Halo 3 universally fixed, and expanded on everything that was done in Halo 1 and halo 2. While adding a **** load of new things. it's far from a "HALO HD" like that moron said. HOnestly, every game/album gets a horrible critic. there is no need to mention it int here just becuase a tremoundously un-informed critic added it in. I mean hell, The Beatle's Sgt. Peppers album. Widely accepted as the greateset album of all time, has it's fair share of critics who give horrible reasons to bash a game; should we include those in there? Of course not —Preceding unsigned comment added by Testersiki (talk • contribs) 04:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Isulting comments
As a Christian I find these quotations posted on the user page offensive and I want to know if anyone agrees --jojo 15:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * That's funny. I'm a Christian, and I agreed with (or at least felt compelled to ponder) the quotations. For what it's worth, User Pages are generally allowed a lot of freedom here, and certainly accurately quoting (I assume they are accurate quotations) well known individuals (probably even Hitler) is not against the rules. --  Will  scrlt ( Talk ) 04:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

IBA Cocktails
Hi. On my talk page you asked me about the reason for the IBA designation. There actually was a pretty lengthy discussion about this topic, but I forget where it was held. Probably somewhere in the talk page of List of cocktails or in the Mixed Drinks Wikiproject. It has been many, many months since I was active in the project (I'm embarrassed to admit). The result of the discussion, as I remember it, was no strong feeling one way or another. There was a fair amount of concern that the IBA was probably not the best choice for determining what the "official" recipe for a cocktail is, but nobody could come up with a better one.

Wikipedia is not a collection of "recipes", and without picking a single standard, most of the cocktail articles turned into a collection of people's favorite recipes. While the IBA recipe may not be the traditional one, the best tasting one, or the most common one, it is one used in international competitions. Does that make it the best choice? Not necessarily, but without a better alternative (that is not from copyrighted book), it was narrowly chosen as the defacto standard.

Now, indicating that a drink is an IBA drink certainly shouldn't be removed. That is actually much more encyclopedic in nature than the recipe itself. However, some people felt that the way it was presented might be perceived as giving the IBA too much attention. I'm in no way affiliated with the IBA and have nothing to do with mixology, so my choice in picking the IBA (yes, I did it) was based simply on the information I was able to find through Google searches. It seemed like a reputable organization, and it seems worthwhile to me to mention it in the articles. But if there is a consensus against it, then that's fine, too.

The one thing that picking the IBA recipe as the only listed recipe did do was help cut down on the number of articles that were deleted simply for being recipes. This was due to two things, I think.


 * 1) By picking one "standard" recipe, it prevented the article from becoming filled with alternative recipes. Common variations could be mentioned in the encyclopedia article in a narrative form instead of looking like "just another recipe variation".
 * 2) After moving the IBA recipe into the infobox and removing alternative recipes, it was very easy to spot articles that were lacking in encyclopedic information. This helped the editors prioritize articles and track down missing information.

So, is the IBA designation important? Who knows. It did, however, bring about some good changes here at Wikipedia. Whether the improvements continue now that I am no longer involved, I do not know.

I hope that explains why the IBA designations are there, and I leave it up to you and the rest of the active WikiProject members to decide. Good luck! :-)

Dumbledore vote
Hi. All the arguing over where we should discuss Dumbledore's sexual orientation is proving useless. We need to work out just who is in favour of what and a vote seems the only way to go about it. I'm asking for your opinion since you had a say in the general argument. Thank you. asyndeton 10:51, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello. Thank you for your input, but your comment is slightly ambiguous; it makes it sound as if you think that we are voting on whether or not to include the fact that Dumbledore is gay in the article, which it isn't. Could you please fix it, otherwise your vote probably won't carry any sway. asyndeton 18:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Super Mario Galaxy Talk Page
He's either grown and doesn't know how to deal with these problems or he's immature; I addressed two solutions, either grow up or learn to control anger. It's obvious the chances of my statement calming someone down are slim to none, but I can't think of how to say "You have problems. Fix them." in a politer way. (I guess not saying anything at all towards him could have been the best solution, but I'm only human.) Besides, becoming more aggressive toward because of that statement is similar to saying "I didn't do anything wrong.", "My way is right.", or something along those lines...

I hate aggression. It ruins Wikipedia, and my experience here. I want to edit and add on to the encyclopedia, not argue about it. Why do you spontaneously assume that I'm trying to aggravate him? Please don't act like you know everything, since in this case you are (partially) wrong. (At least I know you are. It's not like others know what I meant...) While I wanted to make a comment to get back at him (Which is likely to produce more aggression, now that I think about it), more aggression is not my goal. I wanted to end the argument there. Similarly, I don't want this dispute to continue either. Kalidascorp 20:52, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Evan Almighty
Thanks for leaving the barnstar to those who contributed to the article. I was able to add multiple sources and information in one free day I add and I looked over dozens of websites to find relevant information to include in the article. I was surprised at the amount of information there was. If you're interested in helping with film-related articles on Wikipedia, consider joining WikiProject Films. Again thanks for the star, and keep up the good work on Wikipedia. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 21:38, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Elizabeth the golden age
Hello JayKeaton, Although you are right in shortening the list, I think my addition is an important one which should be in the article. The claims made in the movie (which, I agree, is just a movie, and not a historical documentary) deny credit to the Dutch people which contributed as much to the victory over Spain, as the English did. From the point of view of a Dutchman, I think it is proper to at least note this fact, and much more important than pointing out that the age of some characters is of. Cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.99.236.19 (talk) 03:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I am unsure if you can actually get to your own talk page as I have not really needed to send messages to unregistered users before and I know that IP addresses can change without warning. I can understand your feelings about the dutch and I do sympathize with you. But the Elizabeth article is not the correct place for it, even if you did have sources that related to the dutch AND the movie. However, I could suggest that you make a ==See also== or ==Related articles== section with a link to an article that mentions the dutch involvement. I cannot find any articles that are exclusively about the dutch involvement, but you could add the Spanish Armada article to the related articles section as it does have a few mentions of the dutch in it. It would look something like this, placed just above the References section:

Related articles

 * Spanish Armada JayKeaton

Barnstar given with your signature
Just a quick heads up, a user appears to have given themself a barnstar in your name.diff I've removed the barnstar, but I don't know if you have any past interaction with the user, or would want to take any further action. -Optigan13 (talk) 06:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like he didn't like that I pulled it, and of course has re-added it. At least this time he did some token editing to the Evan Almighty article including 1 article edit, and 1 talk(+signing) . But you may want to ask him to remove the barnstar or add something more to your comments or archive them on the Evan talkpage so other users don't do the same. Since this would be a really boring and wasteful argument to have with that user. -Optigan13 (talk) 22:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
