His_Warrior

I looked up another thing on the WP band which AGAIN supports my argument. It says: Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; His warrior (talk) 22:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But it is usually deleted. Can you show multiple reliable sources or any significant airtime? --mboverload @ 22:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fm4tb

THANKS. still new here- poking my way through and trying to set up a relavent page... Not even sure how to sign this. oh well one step at a time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fm4tb (talk • contribs) 03:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at tthe changes on the mudboy page. are those citations kosher? Just mean should they be more in a sort of footnote format rather than right in the text- I only say it because its sort of messes with the flow of the text. also seemed to have lost some sources in the bibliography. curious why?

Thanks, learning...also is did I write this in the right spot or should I have added onto the bottom some how? oh well...Fm4tb (talk) 02:15, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, here is ok. I removed the sources that only had a passing mention of mudboy, they can't really be used as references. As for the references they should be in the text. However, the way I did it isn't the prettiest since I'm still re-learning =) --mboverload @ 02:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scotthutcheon re: Darrell Vickers, Andrew Nicholls

No problem. Us writers are used to getting little to no recognition. I'm starting to think we all must have a touch of the masochist. I don't blame you for deleting writers who use the wiki for promotion or who have very few credits. But these guys have literally hundreds. Even more important they are going to put out a revised "tell-all" book about television writing and the industry (the first glimpse of the reality). For a sneak peak maybe (cough) torrent for the ebook (original edition) "Valuable Lessons" or "How I Made and Lost 7 Million Writing for over 100 TV shows and series." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotthutcheon (talk • contribs) 19:49, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please respect the "in use" tag Rotational (talk) 07:56, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry if you felt offended. Those tags are only to help editors know what they need to improve on an article. Sorry about the confusion. --mboverload @ 07:57, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

Just wanted to alert you to the fact that I altered your comments to Vtlspr in order to remove the Google bomb phrase from his talk page. While I know that Google doesn't count much towards talk pages, I wanted to make absolutely sure that the phrase was not going to get indexed at all. If you are not comfortable with me changing your comments (which I realize is highly unusual), please feel free to revert me. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:15, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrolling

Hello. I noticed today that you were doing newpages patrolling but are not marking some of the pages you visit as patrolled. Though this is not mandatory in any way, and should not be done for all newpages, where appropriate it keeps your fellow patrollers from wasting time reviewing the same page multiple times. In any event, keep up the good work! Thanks. NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 02:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that - I thought I always got over 90% marked as patrolled. --mboverload @ 02:33, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Media:Example.ogg==(I Don't Want You Back)]] ==

I think you de-bowdlerised come instances of this instance - at least where it relates to UK chart information. The official song title used by Everyhit.com, polyhex.com, The Official UK Charts Company, the CD cover and the Guiness Book of Hit Singles all show it with the asterisks. I presume this could be true for many other European countries (Ireland comes to mind). Is there an easy way for you to revert these witht he software you used? Dmn € Դմն 13:19, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know about the Eamon song in Europe. I was going off the US spelling of the name and did not realize it was different over the pond. I have already reverted the 3 other ones I changed. Sorry for taking your time! --mboverload @ 20:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AWB editing math articles

Dear Mboverload,

please pay more attention when you run a robot on a math article. Minor orthographic corrections may change the meaning (as was the case with the Riesz--Thorin theorem).

Thanks a lot, -- Sasha —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sodin (talk • contribs) 15:16, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for my edit, which was completely in error and my fault. --mboverload @ 20:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, I did not mean to be rude. Sasha

Oh - it's ok. I come across the wrong way sometimes too =). Hope to see you around! --mboverload @ 22:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote my message, not to give bad example :) Sasha

=) See ya round! --mboverload @ 22:17, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanx for the Warm Welcome!

It was much appreciated, and thanx also for the guideline references. Sorry about forgetting to sign that comment you saw; I had thought of it, but it slipped my mind. I'll have to see if I can find it and fix it. Actually, I'm not exactly new to Wikipedia, but I don't edit much, so my login had long since gotten lost.EdMuse1122 (talk) 02:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the shiny!

Like I said, thanks! Did you mean to use this image?

Also, I'm curious to know if the star was in response to this, because if it is, I think that probably a trout or the Destroyer of the Wiki Barnstar would be better ;-)

Also, as far as the Main Page goes, Brion has no sense of humor... :'( (yes, I tried.... :P ) J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 01:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to keep it on the DL in case you were ashamed. =P--mboverload @ 01:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No I'm fine with it, Huggle was stupid, and displayed the page the same way it displays new pages, so I deleted it. Actually, I think it's kind of funny.

If you want, you can "update" the barnstar with the link I gave you, otherwise I'll forget why you gave it to me. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 01:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

Dude, I created my first page this year and you message me saying "Please don't bold your name in every article you create. It's kind of weird." I think you might be a little overzealous.

Sorry, for some reason I got that impression. I'll remove my remark. --mboverload @ 06:00, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A and an

Hi, please stop your AWB changes of an historic to a historic. Reason: In the United States per Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition, p.1: "Before unstressed or weakly stressed syllables with initial h both a and an are used in writing, a historic an historic, but in speech an is more frequent whether h is pronounced or not." See also See A and an#Discrimination between a and an. Moreover, articles on US subjects should use U.S. English, not British or Canadian. clariosophic (talk) 03:08, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help With "Baron Hirsch Synagogue" article edits

Hi,there -

I've done a lot of reworking of the article on Baron Hirsch Synagogue that you tagged as having multiple issues.

I think I've addressed all the isuses you raised. Can you recheck it to see if I've covered it?

Thanks.

Hi I'm UserDuggan6592. Was just wondering if you could explain to me what the plus and minus numbers are all about.

User:SeanFromIT

I have a little concern with this user. He created a bunch of UFO related articles which do not meet the notability criteria. In response to my AfDs, he made this comment. I am afraid he may create more such articles. I have brought this matter to ANI. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 06:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are being a tad irksome. I really wish you would desist, alright? Thunderstruck45 (talk) 14:15, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I truly have no idea what you are referring to. Could you point me to where you are having a problem? Thanks! --mboverload @ 18:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You must have edited 2008 attack during the Olympics or chimed in at the deletion discussion, to Thunderstruck45's chagrin. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 19:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About WHAT though? I have no idea what Thunder is going on about.... --mboverload @ 19:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I hadn't edited the article for over two weeks (my last edit had been 11 August), and look what he said to me: "would you stop going to the page that has to do with the attack? just forget you even saw it for a while, alright? you and several others are creating problems." — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 22:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AGF but it's so nonsensical it brings motives into question. He may have been intending to confuse us "for the lulz". =P I'll archive this thread tomorrow. --mboverload @ 23:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, MBoverload. Your intuition that I don't know how to give a diff is right! :-) Can you please give me a better sense of what you mean, and how it's done? With thanks and all best wishes, Catuskoti (talk) 03:27, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mythbusters citation

Mboverload please read the rest of the article and the abundant evidence from the links given before reverting. Citation in the introduction is not necessary but can be put in if necessary. I have just come off the ' phone from Beyond Television and it is quite clear where it is produced, see their website. The pilots were made to try to sell to Discovery because that is the biggest single market and it was pitched to this but if you add the rest of the world it is probably not the majority now. Ex nihil (talk) 07:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep the discussion to the talk page here. No, I don't work for Beyond. Actually the main reason for the inclusion was because I felt the need to reinforce th eorigins after your last revert. I think it's pretty clear what the origin of the program is, please don't revert it again without a discussion. Ex nihil (talk) 08:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I put the source of production before the filming location because it seemed the most logical progression, no other reason, just treads better. Ex nihil (talk) 08:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for the notification. I added some info on the talk page. Please see if it is enough. Regards, GoEThe (talk) 22:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great to see you at Sarah Palin

We could use more like you, who have maintained total neutrality. There are several - Kelly, Ferrylodge, Kyaa the Catlord?, and on the other side zredsox! and probably myself, there are more - who I think have generally noble intentions but an overproprietary attitude and a clear POV, who have allowed themselves to be provoked. The more you can go through and resolve the talk page, the better. Thank you so much. Homunq (talk) 19:39, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind words. =) I will do my best to be on more tonight and better organize and summarize the talk page. Now that the page is protected we can get some real discussion going. --mboverload @ 19:44, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up on reference desk question

Several weeks ago, you answered a question about an attempt of mine at rescuing a crashed hard disk. The hard disk was a SATA disk, which was connected to a PCI SATA card, on a PC with a motherboard that supported IDE only. The defective disk mysteriously became mountable in ubuntu when I connected a third hard disk to the system. I promised to come back with some diagnostics, to understand what was going on. The symptoms were as follows:

In the power-on self-test, the SATA disk was detected.
Scanning the disk with dd_rescue showed that only 36 sectors were unreadable.
I connected a third IDE disk to the system (as slave, to the same cable as the boot disk) and suddenly, the SATA disk was mountable from ubuntu.
When I disconnected the IDE disk, the SATA disk was no longer mountable from ubuntu. The error message was the one shown in the post, with "$MFTMirr does not match $MFT" probably being the cause of the problem.
From windows xp, the disk was shown with an icon and a drive letter in the "My computer" folder, but it was unreadable.
I repeated this several times, and it was reproducible: the SATA disk was mountable when the second IDE-disk was connected, not mountable without the second IDE-disk.
I then booted windows xp with all three disks connected. Now, windows xp was able to access the SATA disk with no problems.
After I had successfully read the SATA disk from windows xp, the previously defective disk became mountable and readable from both ubuntu and xp, both with and without the IDE disk connected.

I don't really understand this. The error message indicates that there was a discrepancy between the Master File Table and its mirror copy. In the presence of a discrepancy, I would have thought that windows xp would have been smart enough to recover if one of the two copies were correct, but it appears that this was not the case (??). Could the presence of the IDE disk somehow make both xp and linux use a different strategy at reading a defective disk? Doesn't sound likely to me, maybe something weird was going on at the hardware level.

Anyway, thanks again for your help. --NorwegianBlue^talk 11:18, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar for ballz

Hi. I appreciate the barnstar and your sense of humour, but can't accept a Defender of the Wiki barnstar in good faith. It was created to reward achievements above and beyond the call of duty, initially for efforts against a fraudulent charity that tried to cash in on the Tsunami. I've given one for consistent efforts against a PR shill/editor with absolutely no sense of cooperation over a period of nine months. If you were to downgrade this one to an anti-vandalism barnstar, that would fit much better. Thanks. --Kizor 12:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
