Bikeway

Hi! I copied your Bikeway content over to Wiktionary because it looked like a good dictionary definition to me (http://en.wiktionary.org/Bikeway). I was wondering if you planned on expanding the article further or if you think it will stay as-is. Tobycat 00:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

No current plans to expand it, but it should be. I guess I should label it a stub. Thanks. --Serge 00:52, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Thomas Jefferson

Just a note that the edit you reverted on the Thomas Jefferson article, the person that removed that sentence is the same person that added it, so they probably just decided it wasn't worth putting in the article. I don't think it's possible to vandalize yourself. =] Peyna 12:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I've filed a request request for comment at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Irgendwer and your input would be appreciated. --rehpotsirhc 04:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

You wrote: What part of "no amount of emphasized assertions that one is editing according to Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view while engaging in biased editing will serve to paper over the nature of one's activities" do you not understand? — The part in English, I guess. :P —Tamfang 02:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Naming Poll at Anaheim Hills

Hey Serge, I know you're passionate about neighborhood naming conventions, and there's currently a discussion and poll at the Talk:Anaheim Hills page regarding a move to "Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California." I thought you'd want to drop, check it out, and vote (despite the fact that you and I tend to disagree on this particular matter). Soltras 16:50, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for agreeing with me on the Anaheim Hills name change portion of the issue. I am kind of getting tired of constantly being bashed by these big Misplaced Pages names who do things just for the sake of convention. I am trying to change the naming convention not just for Anaheim Hills, but for all communitites that have paragraphs as their title (which defeats the purpose of the article). I am glad that their is some sun shining through the clouds because it is nice to have someone that agrees with you sometimes. --Ericsaindon2 04:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

AHhhh, Im being attacked for changing the name! I cannot believe that the Anaheim Hills name was blocked from changing. That is ridiculous. It doesnt state this convention anywhere on Misplaced Pages, so how can it be ethically changed? --Ericsaindon2 03:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Anaheim Hills

Would you vote on the Final Naming Poll on the Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California page by Monday, June 6th at 11:00 pm pst. This is a collaborative effort to determine where the Anaheim Hills page will rest forever with no disputes. There are currently four choices to choose from, so go and check it out. --Ericsaindon2 21:03, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries

While I believe that Irgendwer's attempted addition to Libertarianism is nonsensical, badly written, and confusing to the point that no amout of copy-editing would be capable of saving it, and the best solution is to just remove it as you have been doing, I also believe it to be counter-productive and uncivilized to add edit summaries which include the words disruptive and troll. Additionally, it may be inflamitory to include the word vandalism in those summaries in which you revert that addition. I hereby make a personal appeal to you to refrain from using those potentially volitile words in your edit summaries in the future. --D-Rock (commune with D-Rock) 08:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

No personal attacks

Please stop referring to your fellow editors as "mild autistics". -Will Beback 01:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

As an apparent member of the "group", I don't appreciate being called autistic, either individually or collectively. I didn't complain the first time you made the reference, but you seem to think it so funny that you've repeated it. Please don't do so again. -Will Beback 03:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. -Will Beback 04:22, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

City names

What happened, as far as I can gather, is that we argued forever, and then everybody got tired of it, so we ended up with the status quo. If you want to restart the discussion, I'd continue to favor changing the rule (but only for major cities - I think the default should be "City, State," but that if it's clear that an American city is the primary use, we should move it to just "City"). I'm not sure about the Hollywood case. The current location is dubious and unpleasant, but I'm not sure exactly how that sould work - I kind of agree with Bkonrad that the most common usage of "Hollywood" is not for the place, but for the American film industry, and that Hollywood, California might be the best location for that. john k 07:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

"Troll"

I don't think he's a troll, but honestly thinks he's helping and just doesn't really understand Misplaced Pages. Starving hasn't been working in any case. It took stupid amounts of discussion before, but the "political" issue eventually stopped being an issue. I'm hoping engaging will work again. — Saxifrage ✎ 20:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
