Trenton, Ontario

Just wanted to write to thank you for your help on this article and the assorted issues related to it. Thanks! Blotto adrift (talk) 17:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reverting my talk page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, you've had my back many a time. Who would have thought an article on Trenton, Ontario would be so troll-o-riffic? Snowfire51 (talk) 23:51, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snowfire51, do you think that this user at 67.70.40.171 might be you-know-who? --Skylights76 (talk) 00:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: You're welcome. Just returning the favor. =) Yes, it's not very bright of him to vandalize my user and talk pages since it brings immediate attention from me and earned him new blocks. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here I thought the guy had gone away since we hadn't seen him for awhile and then the semi-protect expired. I was hoping for the best, but I guess not. Thanks for reverting the mess he made. I reinstated the semi-protect on the article for another month. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding user Timbermile99

Hey, thanks for diligently reverting Timbermile99's abusive edits. This person needs to be banned!--Skylights76 (talk) 08:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. He's banned [1] now, anyway. Good luck!

Skynet (fictional)

I wasn't inserting spam into that article. I was reverting an edit by someone who removed content.

Okay, now I get it. That section probably was non-notable and was spam-ish, but I didn't know that. SchfiftyThree 05:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Seowiki

Please keep an eye on him. WP:AGF but I do not think he knows how to contribute. Igor Berger (talk) 05:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Request

Re your message: I've semi-protected the page for a week. Hopefully that will calm it down for a little while, but looking over the edit history, this has been going on for a long time. I wouldn't be too surprised if it gets semi-protected again after the current protection expires. If the edits continue, you can request a longer protection at WP:RFPP. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The sock

Hi Snowfire. I know, it's weird. It may resume again since it seems like this IP was just blocked for 31 hours, not sure. I actually may try and stick to my Wikibreak and take a shot at contributing to Citizendium. That project is a mere stub but I have a fondness for underdogs. Plus, I think they're onto something with their more "adult" rules about anon IPs (not allowed), using real names (a must) , civility, etc. I'll see still check in to see how things are going here, though.

Learning Management Systems

Hi Snowfire,

CollegeBrain.net is not a product. It's a free project. Similar to Moodle/Sakai, except not open source (sort of like a facebook for courses) I'd appreciate if you could restore the name under the list of other possible LMSs. If not, please provide a suitable explanation. List of schools using the service is as follows:

Allan Hancock College American River College California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo California State University, Fresno California State University, Fullerton California State University, Monterey Bay Chabot College Chaffey College City College of San Francisco Cosumnes River College Cuyamaca College De Anza College Diablo Valley College Foothill College Fresno City College Long Beach City College Loyola Marymount University Reedley College Sacramento City College San Jose State University Santa Barbara City College Santa Rosa Junior College University of California, Berkeley University of California, Davis University of California, Los Angeles

- University of California, Santa Barbara (started at this school, currently 531 students, 25 instructors. That's a significant chunk compared to Moodle and Sakai there)

University of the Pacific Ventura College

Thanks for your understanding.

In response to your comment on my talk page, I appreciate you explaining the rationale behind adding CollegeBrain.net to the Learning Management Systems page. However, the consensus on that page (as on the talk page) is to not add any examples that are not noteworthy enough to warrant their own wikipedia entry. As evident from your talk page, CollegeBrain.net was speedily deleted, so consensus says it's not notable enough to mention. In addition, where you had placed it in the article is for links to other wikipedia pages, not external websites, thus it was a dead link anyway. Thanks! Snowfire51 (talk) 10:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reply. The deletion of the CollegeBrain.net page was partly due to my haste in adding it as well as a lack of understanding about how wikipedia works. I am still learning, forgive my newbieness. I would at the very least like for CollegeBrain.net to be listed since we are being used by these schools. It specifically states that I can't add dead links under the list of other commericial solutions. So if I can't add the name there, and if I can't add the name to See Also, where should I add the name??

Heh

Jinx! Got your orange box right when I saved the page on the block notice for that user :-) Maybe a real short protection will make them go outside and play. delldot talk 11:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Curses! Beaten to the block of that last one! Keep up the excellent vandal-fighting work :-) delldot talk 12:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

<texas>Shucks, it weren't nothing, mister.</texas> Besides, it's easy to stay vigilant against a vandal who keeps coming to your user page. They're awfully easy to spot that way. Thanks again! Snowfire51 (talk) 12:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries...

...someone might want to protect his talk page, though, by the look of it...Giles Bennett ^{(Talk, Contribs)} 11:48, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done on the vandal fighting there

That was a good bit of vandal fighting on User:Alexan1. I knew that as soon as I reverted her, I'd be in the firing line, and as soon as you reverted her, you too were in the firing line. Great team effort, and vandal banned in very short order! Mayalld (talk) 11:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Skycam

The comment about the camera "cutting loose" is not accurate and is not supported by the article that was initially referenced. It also did not nearly hit two players - this is journalistic sensationalism - the camera was just moved after the incident to hang over the sideline (near the players).

Per the second article (which actually contained the facts that were ascertained after the incident), the operator did not hear the technicians tell him that the motor was off while making an adjustment during a timeout (this procedure was done with technicians manning the ropes who ended up having to lower the camera which is why it was a controlled descent; there was also a technician near the camera on the field when the adjustment was being made). It's that simple. Nothing broke. Just trying to correct the inaccurate information that was posted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajax008 (talk • contribs) 17:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved this comment to the Talk:Skycam page, and answered there. Snowfire51 (talk) 20:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lauzen Page Troll

(rm troll comments)

User:Kvanko and Chris Lauzen

I've filed a 3RR report here. I figured I should tell you as you're an involved party. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop abusing the word hopefully!

I used the strike tag on the Bullying article because the word hopefully is not used correctly. Hopefully is an adverb! The sentence will need to be rephrased. Should I rephrase it myself?

I used pejoratives because I was upset. 76.178.252.151 (talk) 10:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel it's a grammatical error, just fix it. There's no need to strike a word out, and certainly no need to be uncivil and profane to other editors. Whether you have a point or not, you have to realize that calling other editors names and shouting just makes everyone assume you're a troll. Just make the articles the best they can be, and try and get along. Thanks! Snowfire51 (talk) 10:08, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay! I have edited it. This should be a little bit better. Sorry! 76.178.252.151 (talk) 10:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your AIV report

Please don't report people for that, I fail to see what good would a block achieve here. This seems more an editor that is unaware of our policies than a vandal. Cheers! -- lucasbfr ^talk 10:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it would keep him from calling all of us "ignorant mother fuckers." He seems to have calmed down, hopefully that'll continue. Snowfire51 (talk) 10:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WARNING: YOU ARE ABUSING YOUR EDITORIAL FUNCTIONS AND WILL BE REPORTED

Snowfire the Asshole:

PER ABOVE, you have committed a lot of editorial abuses. Remember, you are just a Wikipedia editor -- you are not a real, credentialed editor. You edit based on consensus. In the real world, professional editors are degreed and do not edit based on consensus. So just remember that you are only editing Wikipedia, nothing more. Only mother fuckers like you deserve to be Wikipedia editors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.45.132.38 (talk) 19:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
