Hi, Georgia Guy... GG, okay? I found you on the UFO page, and gotta wondey if any intelligent life on earth really thinks there are little green men sneaking in and out among us, or just perhaps maybe some of our own species might not be up to no-good. Whaddya think? Could there really be, among the "infinite" planetary possibilities, an infinite number of planets that support life...like our own...with common history and culture...and advanced technology...(similar to our own WW2 stuff)...and even have the urge to dominate our world, or perhaps to save us from ourselves, OR do you suppose that with only a finite (ie, definite) number of planets, not really infinite at all, it is possibly MORE LIKELY that some post-WW2 group of humans actually think they can pass themselves off as a "superior race from outer space." That couldn't be plausible, could it? I mean, if it was really plausible that humans wanted to present themselves as superiors, surely we would have been told on TV... I mean, doesn't the government make sure that only the truth is told on TV? So, if it was true that UFO's were really from earth, around the time of WW2, wouldn't our government make the TV tell us so? Whaddya think, GG?

Hi- Wikipedia really isn't the place for rants, insults, etc. That's what IRC is for. I found your tone on the Talk:Pop-Tarts page to be a little inappropriate and over the top as a repose to a simple comment about an encyclopedia article. ike9898 15:50, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)

I saw your note on Talk:Three halves. It hasn't closed yet simply because there are WAY more VfDs added to the queue each day than there are administrators to deal with them. Actually, it doesn't take an admin to do the redirect that the discussion calls for: you're more than welcome to be bold and do it yourself. In fact, you could close the discussion yourself, since the consensus wasn't "delete." Joyous 21:55, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
{{subst:vt}} RESULT. ~~~~
and at the bottom
{{subst:vb}}
I personally like to boldface the "result" but that's a style issue. Let me know if you have any other questions. We get very backlogged at the closing page, and would love your help. There are lots of article with an outcome of "redirect," or "merge," or "keep." Anyone can handle these. It seems to work best if admins do the "delete" discussions, so we can close the discussion and delete the article in one fell swoop.
Cheers! Joyous 23:35, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
For future reference: Please place the notice, {{subst:vt}} result, above the section title, and don't forget to sign your name when closing the debate. You only need to sign your name for the {{subst:vt}} portion. -- AllyUnion (talk) 12:17, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Well done! Now, did I mention it can be proven by mathematical induction <evil grin> !! Securiger 11:52, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure what happened there, but I suspect it was partially due to the edit conflict between your edits and my edits and the fact that I was editing each section on that page separately. One or the other of us probably got things mixed up when the Edit Conflict warning came up. I think we have it straightened out now, at any rate. :)
You sort of implied that this has happened before. Has it? If so, under what circumstances? — chris.lawson ( talk) 23:26, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Question, while the Sandbot is away, what are some of the things we need to watch out for in the Sandbox? I notice the whole page is over 100 KB long, and it is very very very long. Zscout370 00:50, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Nice job on reverting User:JesusHadBetterBeInYourHeart's vandalism. I blocked him, and it looks like you repaired his damage. Oh, and I would request that you not use the {{ test4}} template if you can't be sure that the user will be blocked the next time. It makes it slightly awkward if an administrator comes along and would like to warn the user another time before he blocks him. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your vigilance, and keep up the good work! – Knowledge Seeker দ 01:37, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Well, Votes for disambiguation can be distinguished from votes for deletion by using the acronym "VfDis" instead of "VfD" however Wikipedians know the acronym "VfD" as Votes for Deletion very well. Now, since there is another VfD, I abbreviated it VfDis. -- TheSamurai 17:26, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You left a message on my Talk page warning me to stop experimenting in the sandbox. If you mean Wikipedia:Sandbox, I think this has to be a case of mistaken identity since I don't use it. Otherwise, I'd be glad to stop doing things that are creating disasterous messes, but I'd appreciate a bit more information about what those things are. -- Diderot 17:56, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hello Georgia guy. What do you think should be done with the EMS template? My view, as you see from Talk:Color, is that we should revert to ROYGBIV, but I've held off from making the edit to see if any other comments are forthcoming. Your important note does clarify the situation on Color, but the template appears all over the place. Arcturus 17:39, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Your redirect from KING to King and the move of KING to KING-TV left behind 16 articles pointing to the wrong spot. When reorganizing, please help by fixing articles whose links may have to change. These are the articles in question:

I have replied to you on Talk:List of radio stations in Georgia by city. Thanks, Maclyn611 14:42, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The second and third rules are correct as you state them. The difficulty is that far too many of the articles in Wikipedia right now are simply wrong. The FCC is the authoritative source; if people are unsure about the correct callsign (or even if they think they are absolutely sure), they should look it up in the database to be positive. When I notice them, I will fix them, at least to the extent possible for an anon. The first rule is correct except insofar as the FCC does not grant "-AM" and never has. (For Canadian stations, things are different: the suffix ["-FM" or "-TV"] is always a part of the callsign.) This is all explained in laborious detail at North American call sign. 18.26.0.18 01:09, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I don't need any explanation; I've been doing this (Web content about radio history) for more than a decade now, and I have a more than passing familiarity with 47 CFR. 18.26.0.18 01:12, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
You recently accused me of vandalizing pages on Wikipedia. While my ISP has a dynamic IP setting, I have edited some content on these pages, especially to remove vulgar or offensive content that people have decided to "add." So, I'm not sure what you're accusing me of, but I suggest in the future that you get the right person.
I notice from other posts on here that you're quick to accuse. From now on, I'll be happy to leave the jibberish that I find on here. 69.47.22.195
Who keeps deleting the articles that I was posting in "Educational years"?
Their is no need for discusion, the article Student already covers the said sunjects, as well as the similar article allready redirect to the page. Creation of a seperate page for each level would not only be redundantm but a waste of article space. -- Boothy443 | comhrÚ 01:51, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Hey Georgia guy,
You just reversed my article because it was allegedly "vandalism". Atlanta, aside from being the name of the famous city in Georgia, is also the name of many other people, places, and things around the world, including my dear soccer team. In the future I would suggest less accusing choice of words when performing edits.
Thank you! -- Yafuetodo 7 May 2005

I was browsing around Wikipedia today and I noticed that you had sent me a message on April 30th, and this message accused me of vandalism. To my knowledge, I have never committed any willful acts of vandalism to this website, but I do admit that I am inexperienced and it is very possible that I accidentally vandalized a page. I created this user name to respond to your message. I would have appreciated your message a bit more if it had been less vague. As a newcomer, I had no idea what you meant by vandalism and I also had no idea how to reply to you. Perhaps in the future you could explain yourself a little more thoroughly.
Thanks Georgia. I thought my 2m article guess was 2015 -- Amanaplanacanalpanama 03:06, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
So your solution is to remove the reference to the pop group.
What I did was to provide a solution to a problem, ie how to provide a method of finding a reference to a group called 'W'.
Your response - just vandalise the solution by deleting it.
Please repair your vandalism by providing a way to reference the jpop group 'W'

I would like to apologise for my actions earlier involving the 'color' article. I didn't notice I had messages until about ten minutes before now, and was unable to see what I was doing was wrong at the time. I am very new to Wikipedia and I was unsure how to go about correcting articles, and I apologise also for not taking the initiative to find out. Sorry again.
Which article are you refering to? I look at the first sentence, if it says "color" I use american, if it says "colour" I use british

First, don't think I'm trying to attack you about this - but I'm wondering why you think WFMT has to be moved to WFMT (FM) - there's ONLY ONE WFMT anywhere, that's been doing business with those call letters since the 1950s. I've not seen any wikipedia guideline indicating that the frequency band (AM or FM) needs to be specified. Further, WFMT (alone) easily passes a google test, and anyone who knows the station either from Chicago, from the satellite services or from the Web will know it simply as WFMT. Yes I know you left re-directs, but I still don't see where a renaming is necessary. If there ARE supposed to be indications of frequency band in station articles, then a) are they being applied uniformly and b) where they are not present is there in fact a group attempting to set this straight? -- JohnDBuell | Talk 04:23, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hey Gerogia guy, sorry to see you've left. Anyhow, in response to your message on my talk page, I alway revert any anon user changes to user pages that come across Recent Changes; sometimes it's the user making the changes, but other times its vandalism. Since Wikipedia custom is to not change user's pages (except for vandalism reverts, obviously) I revert the change and leave the anon a note to this effect. For the most part, if it was the user, it's because they don't realize they aren't logged in.
Hope you decide to come back to us. – Essjay · Talk 23:50, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Please follow all three steps. Otherwise when the template is removed after five days there is not a full record of the requested move and if someone comes along and shortly afterwards reverts the changes made in a WP:RM request, they might be acting in good faith. As there is no other log of the changes kept, and the template is removed, it is important that the talk page contains the line of the request from the WP:RM page. Philip Baird Shearer 13:23, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
I did not follow any official rule, so you can regard this as my personal opinion for the time beeing. For example, in the article about the English language, the present form of the language is the primary focus. The Greek alphabet is used today to write Greek, a language spoken by 10 million poeple, so this is its primary use. The use of the Greek alphabet in science etc. has nothing to do with the pronunciation of the letters. The prununciation of ancient Greek has been reconstructed by scholars based on indirect evidence, starting with Erasmus, and continied by W. Sidney Allen. Scholars today agree (apart from a few ideologically motivated dissidents within the Greek community) on the main lines. In my opinion, the pronunciation of Greek in the classical times is a rather specialized topic; its importance for the avarage reader regards mainly the use of Greek in English words derived from Greek. Note that the pronunciaton of ancient Greek as it is taught in today's schools (except in Greece) coincides only roughly wiith the reconstructed pronunciation of classical Greek (it does not reflect the current view in the case of diphthongs). The pronunciation of Greek at the time when the New Testament was written was nearer to today's pronunciation than to that of Plato (see: Hellenistic Greek. Andreas 16:16, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I noticed you've dealt with this user before and I'm looking for some help regarding his recent edits on Elitism, Populism, Liberal Elite and Luann (disambiguation). I thought it was simply a poor understanding of NPOV, but absurd edits on the Luann and Liberal Elite page, as well as justifications that range from "You know I am right." to "My edits are right and yours are wrong. Period.", have convinced me that he is a vandal. If you can help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it.-- The Grza 03:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Don't listen to this user. He keeps removing content without discussing it, and claims I am a vandal (which I am not).
I sympathize with your wish to reduce the size of very large articles like Swedish language (I've done some shortening myself lately), but I would appreaciate if you did it with more care. I reverted your edits to the Swedish article for a number of reasons; broken footnotes, extremely short summary, removal of very stylish maps and audiolinks, the importance of the relevant section(s) to the article and because "distribution of Swedish" really isn't the common denominator here. It's one of the few sections that hardly ever get separate articles because they're a) very easy to summarize and b) are extremely important to keep in the main article. "Dialects", "grammar", "phonology" (sounds), "history", etc. are far more logical sub-articles.
If you want to shorten articles, don't do it by simply lopping off entire sections and replacing them with one-sentence summaries stating the painfully obvious. Unless we're talking 60Kb+ affairs, there's no urgent need to move or remove anything.

I want to explain why I changed some of the {{LND}} tags to {{disambig}}. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#The_disambig_notice, the only tags that can be used at the bottom of disambiguation pages to render standard dab notice and add categories are {{disambig}}, {{TLAdisambig}}, and {{disambig-cleanup}}. I was unaware of this myself, until it was brought to my attention. As a result of my own confusion on this matter, page Wikipedia:List of disambiguation types was clarified to clearly explain this point.— GraemeMcRae talk 06:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I am not familiar with another use of Wynaad; I googled it after reading your message, and every one of the first 100 hits were all about Wayanad District of Kerala. You are of course welcome to make it a disambiguation page if you see fit; I am just clearing away a group of 1911 encyclopedia articles with no corresponding Wikipedia articles. Tom Radulovich 02:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Taking it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion was perfectly appropriate. I specified what I think should be done, which is to use 3rd degree as a redirect to Third degree, which should be made into a disambig page. That said, I'm not particularly invested in this, and am not going to put a lot of time into arguing for it if the community wants it the other way around. Jkelly 02:09, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Can you speedily create another one off the recent changes bar? I have one or two long ones that need to come to the front! – Francs 2000 19:52, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Please stop creating redirects and content less sub-stubs. The person who requested Military history of Iran is almost certainly aware that we have an article at History of Iran, and was not simply looking for a redirect to be created. Such redirects annoy readers looking for an article on the subject, and reduce the chance of an actual article being created. Similarly five word substubs are of little use, and some of those you have created are speedy deletion candidates. - SimonP 21:27, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Any discussion of this sort really belongs on the AFD page. Briefly, though, it's not just that the Rolett numbers are not in widespread use, but that as far as I can tell, they are unknown, except for some self-promotion by the creator. If you can find some evidence to the contrary, I would consider it. Regarding the other article that you mention, since I haven't see it, I can't judge its merits.

Hi Georgia Guy. My ambitions for the Green Line disambig page were scaled back when I kinda butted heads with a user who is more up on (and more concerned with) the Wikipedia style guide for disambig pages than I am. Still, I think the current version is better. I do plan to get to the others eventually. If you want to take them on yourself, I humbly offer the changes I made to the Green Line page as a guideline. The most obvious tweak I made was to put the links to transit lines in alphabetical order by city (previously they were a mish-mosh). -- Jfruh 22:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning, but the PRECISE REASON I chose the sandbox is because I need to experiment with headers that will display outside of the main article, and thus I need to see EXACTLY how the FINAL page would look (previews don't do the job). And with this large chunk of Sandbox text, it wont work either.

Hi. Was just replacing F-12 with redirect to YF-12, and F-13 (which is a skipped designation) with a redirect to Triskaidekaphobia, which deals with the fear of the number 13. I don't know any other usages at the moment, but will created disambiguation pages if I find something worth mentioning. Bjelleklang - talk 23:57, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
That's fine. I was just closing the AfD and tried do something vaguely in its spirit. I didn't get an edit conflict on the article, so I didn't notice the redirect. - Splash talk 00:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
The "alternateuses" and "otheruses" templates are horribly obnoxious because they are (as I said in the edit summary) strictly one-size-fits-all. They forbid the user to choose judiciously between capital and lower-case in the name of the disambiguation page to which they link or to rephrase in a way that best suits the subject matter. "Uses" is not a good word to use for this purpose. The context of the article--in this case, derivatives, as that term is understood in calculus--could cause a reasonable reader to think it means other uses of the thing the article is about, i.e., in this case, other uses of derivatives, rather than other senses of the same word. A template is indeed a simplified version, and simpler is better when the simpler version is equivalent to the the more complicated one, but in this case they are obviously not equivalent. And I think that's actually true of most cases, with this particular template. Michael Hardy 00:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

The existance of categories is purely for utilitarian reasons. The discussion on the letter-number combination template indicated a lack of utility for the category. Each category must stand on its own. The name of the template isn't very conducive to understanding what it is for. Also, should number letter get a different page from letter number? Hackwrench 00:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Two letter combinations aren't "allowed" their own template. Someone saw utility in creating the template and category, and there hasn't been sufficient utility seen in removing it.

Hi Georgia Guy-
Sorry I didn't reply to your note earlier. I do think Wikipedia's treatment of transit lines should be cleaned up, for a number of reasons:
In some ways, it's the last bit we need to be most careful about. Wikipedia describes the world, it doesn't attempt to impose order on it. Just because we think color terms might be the best way to describe transit lines doesn't mean we should use those terms to describe transit lines that aren't called such in the real world.
So, I would suggest doing the following. On the disambig pages, rather than the entire list of transit lines, we just put a notice to the effect of "The term Green Line can refer to a service in a public transit system. For a list of such lines, see Green Line (public transit)." On the public transit page, we can have the full list, and use piped names to keep things tidy. I've set up a sample in my sandbox: User:Jfruh/Sandbox/Green_line.
As you can see on that page, I've come up with a suggested format:
What do you think?
This is already in place for the ICAO codes and the airport codes. It is an easy way to check that a redirect is in place if someone enters the code. It also serves as a warning that there are other uses if someone wants to create an article in that space as well as providing an entry in what links here to the 2LCdisambig pages. Vegaswikian 00:30, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
What I meant was that the article is about the identifications of PBS that follow PBS programs, whereas the PBS Kids Sprout portion was actually about the actual logo and not the associated ident. That is, the article is about the identifications after each PBS program, while the PBS Kids Sprout bit, while part of an ident, is not the ident itself. I think that makes sense. -- WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 21:05, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I just closed the AfD for N5 (notation), and the redirect threw me off a bit, since there was the dab page to go with it. I did look through everything, just to make sure though. I agree that, overall, it seemed odd! Mind matrix 02:28, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure you realize that your move of the above list created 86 redirects [2]. As I see it, the whole system depends on any contributor being able to add any name to those lists, including a name starting with Sq-. All the best, <K F> 07:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Maybe, but there are hundreds of thousands of registered users who are not banned. Someone who's looking for basic information on the project is not likely to even know what 'administrator' on Wikipedia means, let alone be interested in how many of them there are. Besides, administrators on Wikipedia are nothing special anyway, so the information is not very useful. Furthermore, saying thath there's 'only' some number of admins doesn't conform to WP:NPOV. - ulayiti (talk) 01:26, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

_ _ Please excuse my directness in the following if you were simply careless in reading what i said.
_ _ You changed page titles. I noted that you had changed page titles, and was quite aware you had edited no pages. I said, under "LoPbN page titles", "Please put off any further such changes for now", which should have been clear to you. You responded as if i had implied something about your editing pages, which was not the case. That raises the possibility that you are intentionally pretending to misunderstand what i have said, and quibbling about what you did, in order to excuse ignoring what i've requested of you.
_ _ What you changed has been restored, and for the time being will be restored again if you repeat it. If you are persistant in repeating it, it'll be a big deal and you could end up banned from WP.
_ _ Of course, as i say, you may simply have misunderstood what i said, in which case my request to you is simply to reread and understand and do the right thing.
_ _ I would be more than glad to respond to your implicit argument that what you did was an improvement (which is a reasonable view, even tho mistaken), but first you will need to do your part to clear up whatever communication problems are involved here. In any case, don't do it again before you are in a better position to understand its implications. Thanks in anticipation.

Your initiative in moving Kmetko into LoPbN's Km page is admirable, so thank you. But the first thing you should do is read Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves, not so you can fix them but so you understand what they are and why not to do them. I will fix this one.
Later on, look at my contribs for the period starting with this edit, and running until i edit something that doesn't have a K in its title, to see if you're interested in understanding why Buckaroo Banzai's advice "Hey, don't pull on that, you never know what it's connected to!" could be applied here. It wouldn't necessarily be wrong for someone better informed, as you are now in a position to become, to repeat something like what you did with Km (except don't repeat the cut&paste part), if they were doing in light of realizing
In my strong opinion, it would be vandalism, alerted as you now are, to make a similar change (c&p-wise or not) to LoPbN, without first becoming much better informed than you now are about its implications.
I'd like to emphasize that you're the victim here: there are no warnings in comments on these pages, that could have alerted you to the implications. On reflection, it's obvious to me that they aren't there bcz it doesn't happen often enuf to justify either of two burdens: the effort of placing the warnings, or the number of valuable edits that would not get done bcz someone was intimidated by the notice. You are the victim in that you get subjected to this annoying lecture, in spite of the most important fact here: you didn't do anything that any conscientious editor couldn't easily have stumbled into.
Thanks again.

While "2CC" may be a reasonable choice, {{ 2LC}} was chosen during a previous TfD discussion, and discussed on several guidelines pages over a period of months. Isn't there an official process for renaming templates, rather than unilaterally? (as usual, I'll watch here for your reply.)
As I mentioned on your corresponding Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 February 20#Category:Lists of two-letter combinations -> Category:Lists of two-character combinations, it seems overly pedantic, yet "grapheme" would be more correct. Any such change should have been discussed beforehand. Presumably we'll have the official conversation there.
Just out of interest, I think it's Thai rather than Hebrew (the username Philothai is a bit of a clue). I've no idea why he's created an article in Thai on the en Wikipedia, but just for reference the procedure if you find an article that isn't in English is as follows:
Helpful people who speak many languages keep an eye on WP:PNT and may come up with a translation or at least enough information to say whether something's non-notable, an attack, or whatever.
If the page isn't translated within 5 days of listing, it's put up for deletion via the AfD process.

Regarding your question on Talk:I-95 exit list, the new method called "proposed deletion" (the {{prod}} tempalte) was created to serve as a method in between Speedy Deletion and AfD. If nobody contests the addition of the tag within 5 days then the article is deleted. This does away with the need for a seperate page with delete votes for non-controvertial deletes that do not fit a speedy deletion criterion. If the the proposed deletion is contested (by removing the tag) then the person who proposed the delete can send it to AfD. If the tag is removed from a page it should not be re-added because admins are instructed not to delete pages on which the {{prod}} tag has been removed and replaced. Hope that answers your question.

Hi Georgia guy,
I see you have several times changed C minor so that it has no B-flat. All the minor scale articles have a list of component notes in the first line which correspond to the harmonic minor scale. However, I think this is a little confusing and readers should be introduced to the natural minor scale first (as this would correspond to the key signature). Later in the article the harmonic minor can be described.
Does this make sense? What are your thoughts? Cheers Andeggs 08:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the article being too long, but I prefer the history section to be re-summarized (shortened) completely, so any information that's in it now could be used as a reference guide. Deletions could potentially miss some important data that could have been included in a summary.

If you have any information regarding PBS Kids Sprout idents, then add it. Otherwise, the title will be removed; it makes no sense to have a section that features just headline text. When you have information, please re-add the headline text and your info. LBM 00:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
why was it deleted in the first place? it's encyclopedic. if it's not, then delete the "list of stations in the United States that broadcast on channel 6", too. User:Raccoon Fox - Talk 03:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

You left a statement on my talk page. I share the same concern, but for the country. Alsandro 01:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.142.130.18 ( talk • contribs) 01:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC).
Hi. I just changed it because people had been changing it back and forth between G and G sharp, with no mention of the fact that there are different A minor scales. If what I did isn't helpful, anyone's welcome to change it. - GTBacchus( talk) 14:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for the heads up. I like the changes (though the unlogged in editor wasn't me) and I tweaked the headings throughout the page to make the structure of the article a little more rational. I say that we should wait a few days to see if anyone objects to this rearrangement, and if not do something similar to the other color line pages. -- Jfruh 17:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
I was trying a template I found but I guess it doesn't do quite what I thought...sorry Aborrows 01:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
