I appreciate your sense of humor

The story about the plungers on your front page was pretty funny and I wanted to tell you that I like how you just left it up there like that. (This is, in fact, my first edit of wikipedia. Random, I know.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.57.132 (talk) 15:53, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Judeo-Paganism

I'd like you to review my proposal on the article you wrote on Judeo-Paganism. I don't see any justification, or citation offered for that matter, for changing it to Jewitchery. The terms are hardly synonymous, and the editor's statement that Jewitchery is more common is both unsupported and irrelevant IMO; it's like saying an article on Judeo-Christianity should just be called Christianity, since Jews are the minority. I guess the same goes for the term African-American; just change it to American, since most Americans aren't of African descent. Rosencomet (talk) 18:51, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bigfoot is fiction? You'll LOVE this:

http://www.lawnflowersjerkyandbigfoots.com/bigfootshootings.aspx Click on the blue links there. Some of the reports indicate that even police have shot at these things. Also check out the show Monster Quest tonight on the History Channel. A police officer, maybe a Sheriff's Deputy spots a Bigfoot and he shoots at it. Here in the US, especially where I'm at, people will shoot first, ask questions later - if the person, creature is still alive. 205.240.146.233 (talk) 19:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Abraham Lincoln 1861 presidential inauguration

Jews and Judaism

I understand the value of your edit, but many would argue that Judaism is a culture or civilization and not a (or not just a) religion. Not just Reconstructionist Jews, but many historians. Can you think of a way to achieve the effect you sought while also complying with NPOV? Slrubenstein | Talk 20:35, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Taoiseach

A reply to this. The "silly title" of Taoiseach is one of a number of everyday Irish language words used in the country even by the English language media, in general conversation, etc. Other examples might include Tánaiste (in effect a deputy Taoiseach), Garda Síochána (a term used to describe the country's police force) or Áras an Uachtaráin (the President's residence, which is exactly what it is). These terms do not necessarily have their own popular English language versions and so generally are translatable as practically the same. Taoiseach could roughly speaking be translated as "Chieftain" or "Leader" and is a term which was used in ancient Ireland to describe the ruler of an individual clan. It has survived to the present day to be made use of politically as it is now – to describe the leader of Ireland's head of government. Now I might just borrow that fancy media mention contraption of yours, having found some of my contributions being termed "fake" by Fox News yesterday... --can dle •wicke 20:48, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, do you have any intention of adding content to the large number of articles you created at the beginning of August. The vast majority have remained devoid of content for a month.

Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

The MTA is merging the M and V lines, among other things. — Rickyrab | Talk 15:48, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The idea is for the new line to run from far northern Brooklyn (and perhaps a small chunk of Queens) down the current "brown" tracks and use the Chrystie St. cut to switch over to the "orange" lines uptown, where it takes over the route of the V. This eliminates a link between Manhattan and Brooklyn (currently served by the M), but otherwise, all stations are still served by trains. The new line will have the color of the V and the letter of the M (yup, an orange M). — Rickyrab | Talk 16:01, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Castle

I am against including the likes of Disneyland's castle in the article as it's simply not relevant. If you read the article, it explains the definition and later on details mock castles, follys, and artificial ruins. That is the influence of castles. That a theme park or two decided to built its own imitation castle is not relevant, and certainly does not belong in the lead. Nev1 (talk) 17:02, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let's reverse it: why include Sleeping Beauty Castle at all? It's an example of a mock castle, but there are already several examples in the article. We can't list every single one, it simply wouldn't be practical. The ones currently used are the best architectural examples. You will also notice that aside from the images, specific castles are not mentioned in the lead. This is because it should be a summary of the article and detail general trends in the development of castles. Disneyland may call its structure a castle, but how does it fit the definition laid out in Castle#Defining characteristics, as supported by academic sources. Simply because someone decided it should be called a castle does not mean it is one.

Looking at the list of autoblocks caused by the block of PM800, I would assume your university has multiple IP addresses which are dynamically assigned, thus whilst one autoblock is cleared you could find yourself under another when the IP changes. IP block exemption might be the thing to do here. ---Taelus (Talk) 19:36, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And yet another one.

IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. PhilKnight (talk) 21:17, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rutgers and BAKA

Hey I saw your post on nj.com. The event was a farce, they actually invited us on Thursday. All events required paid reservations. They planned barring us in advance. They instead held their event in a mostly empty hall and helped their cause. Saxophonemn (talk) 11:07, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, what happened was when they saw us all in line, they figured to charge us knowing that we wouldn't want to give them money. It's not like they brought anyone that has a substantial wiki page that would be even worth a penny. Then they made remarks, like don't let in anyone with a kippah on. Fortunately for some of my buddies got in. What made this disturbing was the how this was sort of orchestrated and denied us our rights to even do a walk out. Though I planned to stay and ask questions, if they would have called on me. Saxophonemn (talk) 23:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of North American blizzards of 2010

The article North American blizzards of 2010 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page is just a rehash of the listed United States Blizzards template.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
