Lucien Brasseur
Hi. You kindly put a comment on my short article on Brasseur. Whilst not wanting to bother you too much I would be grateful if you could help in enlarging on how the "tone" could be changed/improved. I am fairly new to Wikipediaing (ugh!) and want to get things right so any help would be appreciated! Thank you.Weglinde (talk) 12:08, 3 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, Weglinde. Welcome to Wikipedia! The tone issues are actually pretty minor; I would have fixed them myself but I was quite busy at the time. As for the issues, it's mainly the use of the term "aux morts" when "war memorial" or something similar would be a lot more readable and familiar for English speakers. Also, there's the use of the pronoun "we", which is discouraged since it's personal and "unencyclopedic". Similarly, the use of the adjective "massive" could be changed to something more neutral, and the exclamation mark replaced with a period. All in all, it's nothing major and is an easy fix! If you like, I can do it, but if you do then feel free to remove the line from the page afterwards. I would however point out that your articles tend to read in an editorial and overly-personal tone, which could be problematic down the line for numerous reasons. But anyway, don't hesitate to ask if you need any help in the future! KaySL (talk) 15:00, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi and many thanks. This is more than useful but I would appreciate it if you could make the improvements yourself and remove the line. I will then use this as future reference and will certainly take up your kind offer of help if I should need it in the future.Weglinde (talk) 15:12, 3 September 2010 (UTC)


 * All done! KaySL (talk) 15:18, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry 2 cause problems. I was going to revert, but u beat me to it! No vandalism intended. When i edit using this phone, I sometimes accidentally delete the rest of the passage. Again, sorry. Ragityman (talk) 15:32, 8 September 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem, the bigger mistake was mine ;) KaySL (talk) 15:33, 8 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't blame you a bit, it's a natural response.
 * I started out to make a minor correction, but saw other things i thot i could improve, and if i try to do too much from this phone, i sometimes cause blanking. It's never intentional.  I've now started to check the "history" each time to make sure i haven't blanked anything.  By the time i saw it and could copy my changes, u'd reverted.  Again, sorry!

I must ask you again why you won't allow me to write anything on Tamil Australian. I didn't write false things and got my info from abs, and 'The Australian People' a book. I don't know how to reference though. Anyways, there are many things which don't have a reference on Wikipedia why do you only delete my updates.

Wiki Historian N OH / Bisexuality
Just wanted to let you know that some of 's edits are still live on the Bisexuality and Bisexual community pages, that I added some information to the Administrators' noticeboard and added a section on Talk:Bisexuality page. Thanks! —Tony Webster (talk / contribs) 17:23, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up, Tony. I'll keep an eye out and revert that crap if it's added again. I really appreciate your taking the time to back me up on ANI, thanks! KaySL (talk) 20:04, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

User talk:DXRD
I have reverted your blanking of this user talk page, because the note at the top saying he was leaving was placed nearly a year ago. JohnCD (talk) 17:26, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. He doesn't exactly make it easy on other editors; his recent spate of problematic edits and subsequent conflicts had me thinking it was a more recent edit. Anyway, my bad, thanks! KaySL (talk) 17:29, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Dyncorp
The items that were removed from Dyncorp are incorrect and now irrelevant as the company was sold.The lawsuit item was clearly planted by Mr. Campbell.This issue is subject to litigation and this is an attempt to influence that process which is inappropriate. The item regarding General McCaffrey is also irrelevant as it has nothing to do with Dyncorp and General McCaffrey was never accused,nor will he be, of anything inappropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcpcall (talk • contribs) 15:29, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter whether the company was sold or not, the section is still perfectly relevant to the company's history. As to the accuracy of the information there, all I have is your word that it's incorrect; back your claims up. But like I said, your clear conflict of interest in this matter only muddies the waters further. As for the McCaffrey part, the issue concerns a holding company of Dyncorp, so it is relevant, although perhaps at a slight stretch. He was accused however; check the reference. Furthermore, you've been reverted by three separate users so far; please respect consensus or reach a resolution to the matter on the article's talk page before you make any further reverts yourself, or you'll be violating 3RR. Thanks. KaySL (talk) 15:34, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * You should read the source article from Forbes as well as the NY Times article.Clearly these items were posted by people with agendas and are a misrepresentation of the facts.There is an article on Bloomberg about Campbell's activities and the NYT's article about retired Generals was a 2 part story with a minor mention of General McCaffrey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcpcall (talk • contribs) 16:09, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I would appreciate your advice on how best to correct the record to accurately reflect the facts.Wikipedia should not be used as a vehicle by people with agendas to damage peoples reputations or use as a vehicle to influences lawsuits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcpcall (talk • contribs) 16:11, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I dsiagree with you respectfully-I would assume the truth is important to you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcpcall (talk • contribs) 16:21, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * All I can really advise you to do is present your case on the article's talk page, along with any additional references which back your views up. I think it'd be a grave mistake to make any further edits yourself given the number of reversions today, not just by me but by other editors. If you present your material and case on said talk page, we'll be more than happy to add the information, assuming it is indeed verifiable. I do apologise if I've come across as hostile, by the way; not my intent. It's just you do have a rather large conflict of interest in the situation and your edits appeared very biased. But yes, we can see what can be done if you do as I've advised here. Cheers. KaySL (talk) 16:42, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Opened an Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents on you. Sorry, but this has to stop. 69.3.72.249 (talk) 16:55, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Not sure how to use
Why do you think this sounds like a brochure? It is factual information for which I linked specific website content to back it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mh9455a (talk • contribs) 19:02, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't doubt that it's factual, it's just the wording and tone that's the problem. Rewritten to counter said tone, I think it'd make a good addition to the article. A few examples of what I mean are thus:


 * Kogod provides various options available to students interested in international business exposure and opportunities.
 * A unique option for international travel and development
 * More importantly, after the understanding of the business climate In this one, it's the subjective "more importantly" that's an issue.


 * Also, avoiding recentism is encouraged, so unless upcoming events are very important or notable in general, they should probably not be mentioned, or if they must, then in passing. I'm a bit limited on time at the moment, so I'm not currently able to copyedit it myself, unfortunately! KaySL talk 19:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Response to your message
No offense taken! I did notice your message, but I appreciate your extra effort to get it to me. I figured that was probably the case, but on the chance it wasn't, I figured extra clarity wouldn't hurt. Keep up the fine work! - Vianello (Talk) 02:25, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Wiki Historian N OH
I have nom'd the articles he created under his sockpuppet for deletion on WP:CSD G5. That should take care of things. The SPI should take care of the rest. -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 00:03, 21 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Cheers, mate, I appreciate the help. You're right about this whole charade with Wiki Historian N OH; it really has gone on way past its sell-by date. KaySL talk 00:04, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, he went by his sell-by date (as you put it) during the Marysville, Ohio incident. I think, though, this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back and finally gets him booted....hopefully.  If there is anything else I can do, please let me know. :) -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 00:21, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The most I can do, being an editor, is throw it at ANI, which I have done. I will keep at the articles and the ANI thread and see everything through. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 04:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Smelly Socks
Hi there. I have just been reading the whole sordid back-story following on from the closure of Articles for deletion/Homosexual eugenics. I knew there was something suspicious going on but this is weirder than I expected. I did wonder if the author was a sock, due to his having strong wiki skills but absolutely no editing history, but I had no way to work out who was the puppetmaster so I didn't raise my suspicions in the AfD nomination. After all, it is possible for people to gain strong wiki skills on other wikis and then look a bit suspicious when they turn up here. Now that I know what is going on, I will be keeping an eye out for him. His POV is more than a bit weird. It stands out from more general homophobia. If I see the phrase "homosexual supremacism" again I will know who to link it to. Regards. --DanielRigal (talk) 09:44, 21 September 2010 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome. It is rather strange, because a couple of his accounts have quite a few contributions to their name, not all of them disruptive, so it's actually difficult to tell whether he's an outright troll or genuinely this cracked. Either way, I strongly doubt we've seen the last of him ;) KaySL talk 14:35, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Re Chromium
The reason I changed it was because I felt it was better to have it on a windows platform, because on a Linux computer it is like taking a screen shot on Windows XP or on a outdated system and also this was the latest build as of September 26, 2010 Totalaero (talk) 21:39, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

You can't use your User space to advertise, blocked or not. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 04:27, 28 September 2010 (UTC)


 * This is true, but often these sorts of pages are userfied for a time to give the creator a shot at rewriting them, and/or establishing the subject's notability. The thing was a carwreck of a page though, I admit. Delta Trine  Συζήτηση 04:49, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

You know, if you like, you could just link to my page here and it will give you the updates I do to the section. :) Good copying though, thought that looked familiar. :) -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 05:47, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Heheh, yeah, I liked it quite a bit and decided to... steal it. I was actually about to link to your version originally, but I thought the entry on it looked a bit out of place, so made a slightly modified version. I gave you credit in there... somewhere... ;)  Delta Trine  Συζήτηση 15:13, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The was cause I use it when an image I have uploaded comes up for deletion and I really don't need it.  Just do the ol' copy/paste and use it that way. :)  But no worries, copying is cool and no credit is needed. :)  I actually "borrowed" Luna Santin myself and updated it over the years. :)  Take Care...

Hi :)
I actually had a nice laugh seeing your prig comment :):) All taken in good humour. I've tried to comment on the MfD in my (hopefully not vain) attempts to calm you both down :):) Thought I'll drop in and give a big Hi :):) Sincerely.  Wifione    .......  Leave a message  04:53, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, yes, actually I do apologise since that maybe was a bit much from me. Like I said in one of my responses to Noraft though, I guess I've become disillusioned/knee-jerky when it comes to censoring stuff on Wikipedia due to a little obscenity. I still oppose the thing's deletion, but I appreciate your message and don't hold any hard feelings :) Delta Trine  Συζήτηση 13:24, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
