Please do not make baseless accusations of vandalism against me. -- jsnruf
Oh, and your user page is nice. I'm borrowing some ideas.
Please don't remove the AFD notice from articles as you did at South Dakota United States Senate election, 2008. The notice clearly says not to do that. Doing so is considered vandalism. -- W.marsh 02:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

W. marsh i had a quick question. i know we are off to a bad start, but if you could tell me how to add a source, i would apprecate thta.-Politics rule 7:00 EST
Hello there, and thank you for leaving a comment on my User page. Just for future reference, comments should go on the User_talk page (the 'discusssion' tab) not the main name space. Some people might consider that vandalism. Especially when you've dropped by just to leave the letters fu.
So my second bit of advice is to make sure you don't forget to finish what you started, word-wise. Because some people might consider leaving fu (unsigned, by the way... you should always sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~))--as I was saying, some people might consider leaving fu on their User page) to be rather rude, and I'm sure you're familiar with WP:CIVIL and WP:EQ. Since I'm assuming good faith on your part, I'm certain that the letters fu were the beginning of a thought you, for some reason, didn't get to complete. Something, doubtless, completely the opposite of that which the letters fu are typically taken to stand for. Like fulgent. Or fun. Or fulcrum... though... I can't imagine why you would have meant fulcrum, but that's neither here nor there.
I hope you enjoy your time here, and if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask (on my talk page, please :)
Best regards,
Wysdom 23:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
P.S. In all sincerity, try to assume good faith when people flag your pages, leave you comments, revert your edits--whatever it is that makes you inclined to leave such comments. We're all here trying to make Wikipedia the best it can be, so please try to take commentary and criticism constructively--that's how it's meant. Cheers!
Let me know a little more what's going on? Who do you feel is harassing you, how are they contacting you, and what are they saying? Let's see if we can resolve the matter with the person in question--it might just be a misunderstanding.
Best Regards,
Wysdom 01:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
P.S. YOu should sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~)... that way your username and links show up automatically :) Makes it easier than looking at the history page to find out who left Comment "X" and reply, etc :)
Unless they're flagrantly offensive/abusive. If there's a dispute about the nature of an edit, address the concern the user who left the warning is expressing by replying to it civilly. Remember to assume good faith :) Deleting a user's warning/comment is only likely to make things worse. We all make mistakes and get into disputes--no one has a perfectly shiny talkpage ;) So don't worry if you think it makes you look bad--it's normal.
Best regards,

You've apparently sent me a warning about vandalizing the Louisiana gubernatorial election, 2007 page. I created this article, have made substantial and repeated contributions to the text of the article since creating it, and have been writing and contributing to articles on Louisiana politics and history for over a year now. I've never been accused of vandalism before, so your 'final warning' is a first. If you don't like my edits, please have a discussion with me on the article's talk page or elsewhere; don't wrongly cite me as a 'vandal.' I'd like you to retract your warning, or at least make a note on my page stating that the warning was an error. Praxedis G 14:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Just a fellow Republican stopping by - I noticed that you are pro-life but are supporting pro-choice candidate Rudy Giuliani for President in 2008. I'm not criticizing your choice or anything - I'm just wondering why you favor him over the other candidates. I myself am tied between several candidates - I'm not sure who I support yet. I would really like to see Mike Huckabee win, but unfortunately I don't think he has the resources or the name recognition to get the nomination. Then I turn to John McCain, who is probably the candidate with the best chance of defeating someone like Hillary Clinton, even though I disagree with him in a lot of areas. What are your thoughts? Weatherman90 02:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for working things out with Bobet and thank you for your apology to me, as well. Please understand that accusations of vandalism and esp. harassment are very serious business--it';s one thing to mistakenly tag someone's page with a warning--God knows I've done that a couple of times (see the "What's your problem?" subsection/comment on my talkpage >.< Doh!), but quite another to escalate things to the point where they got in this situation without being 150% sure of your facts. I know things happen fast and furious here (Wikipedia is the only reference work known to exceed the speed of sound--no, I can't source that ;D) and it can make your head spin keeping up with watched pages and new talkpage comments and trying to contribute/edit at the same time. It's cool--we've all been there.
Thanks again, and good luck to you.
Best wishes,
Wysdom 01:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
P.S. And if you ever do it again, I'll make campaign donations to the rival of every candidate on your User page ;D
I'm afraid I don't know enough about her to start an article. I know that she is much in the vein of Christie Whitman, but this is from others I have asked about her, so it isn't entirely trustworthy. — Cuiviénen 23:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
response- Well there was a clear consesus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/South Dakota United States Senate election, 2008 that the article should be kept after various revisions had been made to the article. It seems fine as a stub. Be careful to avoid unsourced speculation about this election but its fine in its present form until more information is announced. Next time have faith in the process- I notice you didn't comment in the deletion discussion, you were free to do so. WjB scribe 00:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
What was wrong with the article? Tim Long 20:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
VP is a tool developed by Daniel Cannon, which allows experienced vandal fighters to be more efficient in reverting vandalism. It can be found here, but since you do not yet meet approval criteria, which require a clean history and 250 mainspace edits, as well as a history of vandalism reverting, so we know you know what you are doing. See WP:VAND for information on how to revert vandalism. Prodego talk 00:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
A number of times now, one or more editors - most anonymous - have edited the polling results so that Bobby Jindal's polling figures are in bold-face. I have been reverting this. I've got a couple of reasons for doing this. I've never seen it done on other election pages; someone please correct me if I'm wrong. It seems to me that the anonymous editor(s) are doing this to highlight the fact that Jindal is consistently ahead in the polls. But this fact should be obvious to anyone who looks at the polling tables we've created. Why is the boldface necessary? It just looks partisan to me, and the article should be NPOV. If someone has a good reason why Jindal's polling figures -and only Jindal's- should be bolded, I'm willing to discuss it. PS: This should go without saying, but this not a partisanship issue for me. I've got an interest in electoral politics but am not pro-Democrat or pro-Republican. Praxedis G 14:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Joe Lieberman, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Orange Mike 21:14, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey Politics, I appreciate your revisions on that page, but I'm not sure I agree with them. You seem to have deliberately added inaccurate information about term-limits for some governors, added speculation about candidates without sourcing, and deleted random punctuation such as periods. Perhaps you can cite all of your additions, while leaving the punctuation (and accuracy) in tact? ProfessorPlum27 06:17, 28 April 2007 (UTC)ProfessorPlum27
Because, ultimately, we can't include every single poll related to the subject. I don't even think we should include polls of potential matchups until candidates have declared. Should we include evrey single approval rating poll of Kerry since he was last reelected in 2002? The inclusion makes no sense as far as notability is concerned. It is trivial, and the analysis of the poll provided was left wanting. What if all of those people who wanted Kerry to step down don't hate him, but love, I don't know, Ed Markey, and want Markey as their Senator? The poll itself doesn't actually imply anything about Kerry's chances for reelection, yet we were asserting that it showed him in grave danger. — Cuiviénen 14:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Greetings and thank you for your comment. Although I am glad you are making pages, I viewed the pages as potentially biased, as every page I tagged only listed one person's name and one candidate's web site. Bladeswin | Talk to me | 18:54, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
In reply to your comment on my talkpage. I see your doing great work around Wikipedia, but I don't think your ready to be an admin yet. From the purely statistical element, you've made 441 edits and have been with us a couple of month. Its been a long time since anyone has succeeded in a Request for Adminship who didn't have over a thousand (and in pratice nearly 3 thousand) edits and a good three months of editing. The timeframe allows people to get to know you. I also note that you haven't been very involved in vandal fighting and deletion discussions, which are areas where admins have a lot of involvement (and you would be expected to be familiar with the relevant policies). You might want to consider joining in deletion discussions at WP:AFD if you want more experience of admin-related policy discussions. The fact that I don't think you're ready to be admin isn't a criticism - you're doing great work for the encyclopedia (and some of most productive editors aren't admins). I hope you will stay with us a long time and maybe you'll become an admin in due course. Do feel free to get back to me if you have any questions... WjB scribe 23:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note on my talk page. I am indeed a Republican, and a proud one. Despite the troubles the party faces, I still think that the GOP's philosophy of individual freedom and personal responsibility are the best out there, and I'm not about to jump ship. As for the '08 races, I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I suspect that unless Fred Thompson jumps in, Rudy Giuliani will probably win the nomination. I think either stands a good chance against Hillary ( Obama isn't going to win the nomination), so I'm hopeful we'll do well. As for Congress... I'm not sure. We'll have to see.

Hi. I spotted your post elsewhere and thought you might like some advice. There's an ongoing discussion right now at Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship#MAKE_LINDENS_FAST.21 about the types of edit potential admins "should" consider doing. You will also want to consider an Editor review at some point when you have more experience. And once you've done that, drop me a line and I'll probably be pleased to invite you to the Virtual Classroom to help prepare you. Cheers. -- Dweller 13:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. This is a reply to your message on my talk page. I think you are a little confused. Mediation is a method to resolve disputes with users who constantly violate Wikipedia policies. I believe User:Orangemike is not violating policy. In fact, he is warning those who have. I can understand if you, along with other editors, feel a little bothered by his warnings, but there is no mediation needed, unless it actually becomes constant harassment. I think you should assume good faith and not make the same mistake he warned you for again. I hope this helps! May God bless you always. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie Talk • Contribs • Spread the love! 23:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Dorgan and Conrad's situation is a bit confusing. Conrad is senior senator since he has been serving since 1986, although not the same seat. Dorgan has been serving since 1992. I hope that clears it up. Weatherman90 01:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your question on my [[User_talk:Dcmacnut|talk page] regarding Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad. Conrad is officially the senior senator. It's rather complex, and the description is his article doesn't explain it very well. This is the story as recounted to me by Senator Conrad himself. Conrad decided against running for reelection in 1992, so then-Congressman Dorgan ran for the open Senate seat. When Sen. Quentin Burdick died in September 1992, Governor George Sinner encouraged Conrad to run in the special election to fill the vacant seat. Conrad won the special election, and resigned his old Senate seat and was sworn into complete Burdick's term on the same day. (This makes him the only Senator to have served in both of his state's senate seats on the same day). Dorgan had won the general election for Conrad's seat and was appointed and sworn in to fill the remainder of Conrad's expired term. Since Conrad was sworn in prior to Dorgan, that makes Conrad the senior senator, if only by a few hours and even though technically Dorgan succeeded Conrad. Since Conrad had been a senator since 1987, the order of the swearing in was probably designed that way to recognize Conrad's previous service. I seem to remember Dorgan commenting that he wanted Conrad to remain senior senator so he waited until after Conrad was sworn in to take his own oath of office. I can't back that up with a source other than I remember hearing Dorgan tell the story once.
Finally, Conrad had to run again in 1994 for a new senate term, since the special election in 1992 was to fill the last two years of Quentin Burdick's term in office. Hope that answers your question. Dcmacnut 01:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
You will need to ask MatthewUND about this. I'm more of the sports contributor for North Dakota. Leopold Samsonite left this unsigned comment.

Your edit's regarding his governor years look fine to me. However, we may need to look for a source to back up the "encouraged Conrad to run for Burdick's seat comment." That's what I heard Senator Conrad say at an event in Bismarck last year, but we may need secondary cooraboration. Jocelyn Burdick may have also played a part with urging him to run, but don't quote me on that. Dcmacnut 14:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

There really is no leader of WikiProject Maryland. I see WikiProjects as more of a collaborative effort by a group of members. As the founder of both WikiProject Maryland and the roads subproject, I'm usually responsible for alot of the maintenace work, so I guess that makes me the closest thing to a leader. But since this is a wiki, everyone is pretty much on the same level. If you want to make a minor change to the project, go ahead and do it, and if you want to make a major change, get consensus from the other members and do it. That's pretty much how it works. Anyway, welcome to WikiProject Maryland. -Jeff (talk) 20:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{ GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. -- Nehrams2020 00:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. This is a reply to your message in my talk page. I think you are overreacting. He only made two vandalism edits. I don't think the user should be blocked for that. The same thing happened to me some time ago. I just warned the user, and he stopped vandalizing and became a registered editor of Wikipedia. I think you did the right thing by semi-protecting your page, but I think the blocking is a little over the top. I would also like to inform you that " admins are just normal users with a mop and bucket". They are not figures of authority nor are they superior in any way. They are just like us, but with the community's trust and a mop and bucket to help cleanup vandalism. I suggest you read the essay Wikipedia:What adminship is not and WIkipedia:Administrators and remember that, as Jimbo Wales said, adminship is no big deal. Finally, please remember to always use edit summaries. Thank you. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie Spread the love! 16:22, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
It depends what you are looking for. If you want mainspace, use mainspace, ect. Prodego talk 14:39, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
You apparently added a "bias" tag to the article, but didn't indicate why in edit summary or on Talk, so it has been removed by another editor. If you think the article is not neutral, please explain on Talk and you're free to re-add your tag. But an unexplained tag on a page usually won't stand. Thanks Tvoz | talk 02:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I fail to see how my contributions were vandalism. I'd like to know why you came to that conclusion. I see other posts on this page alleging that you have made baseless accusations of vandalism, so I'm ignoring your comment. You have no authority to block anyone from editing posts, so don't bother with the empty threats.

Tipper Gore strongly considered a bid for the U.S. Senate in 2002, and rumors of a renewed quest have similarly circulated among political insiders in the run-up to the 2008 election. You'll notice that the pertinent table column is marked "Possible opposing candidates" and not "Announced opposing candidates" or "Declared opposing candidates." If you object to such a broad treatment, that is a grievance best aired on the Talk page. Besides, there is absolutely no concrete evidence that Tom Kean, Jr. or Kathleen Sebelius, for example, have any intention of pursuing their party's Senate nominations in 2008, and yet you have not hesitated to add their names to the rumor mill in the past. Likewise, you added Bobby Jindal's name in Louisiana despite the fact that he is mounting a gubernatorial campaign for the fall 2007 election.
Please exercise greater discretion before recklessly accusing your fellow contributors of vandalism. This is not the first time that you've made such unfounded claims. In fact, I encourage you to read Wikipedia's guidelines on the subject. Quoting chapter and verse:
Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Apparent bad-faith edits that do not make their bad-faith nature inarguably explicit are not considered vandalism at Wikipedia.
Given your history of tendentious and partisan edits, puerile comments left on the talk pages of other Wikipedia users (see above), and often tenuous command of basic English grammar, syntax, punctuation, and orthography, I would refrain from such self-righteous enforcement of Wikipedia policies until you have established some small measure of scholarly authority. -- PWilson 21:17, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Just a quick suggestion. I think you should remove the userbox that says "This user thinks that Bill Clinton sucks donkey balls - literally as well as figuratively." I believe that is classified as libel and you may get in trouble if you keep it. Also, I haven't seen you around working for the Birthday Committee lately. Something happening?

Hi! I noticed Judd Gregg doesn't mention that he lives in Rye, NH. Can you provide a reference for that? Thanks! -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 15:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
You like george bush? wow, your sick, man........I guess you like killers...
On your user page, you have around 25 userboxes expressing very contreversial ideas, such as your opinions on Scooter LIbby, George W.Bush, and Global Warming. This is not accepted on Wikipedia, so please do something about this. In addition, I have removed your Hillary Clinton Userbox, as it contains a hate messsage. PLEASE STOP! THIS CAN BE PUNISHABLE BY A BLOCK! - BigBrotherIsWatchingYou 15:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your support in my recent, unsuccessful RfA. It's much appreciated. IvoShandor 16:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Just wanted to check how you were doing. I see you have been getting some comments regarding your userboxes. I suggest you don't get to upset. Everyone has a right to express their POV (point of view). As long as you don't have controversial userboxes (like the Bill Clinton one), I'm sure you will be allowed to keep them. I also recently saw that you started participating in RfA discussions. Congrats! I only have a small suggestion. Remember that edit count isn't everything. Quality > quantity! Happy editing! Yours sincerely, Eddie 22:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Seeing as I hate all userboxes and think they should be deleted, I can't really give you a non-biased answer. ^ demon [omg plz] 12:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for being part of the "come back" chorus.
I'm not sure I understand your question regarding my edit history, I was unable to find a gap. The number of edits in each month since registering are:
2006/10 100
2006/11 212
2006/12 324
2007/1 482
2007/2 1008
2007/3 462
2007/4 330
2007/5 411
2007/6 222
I think the peak of 1000 was because I nominated 3 articles for peer review at one go, which was too much work, so, I'm unlikely to do that again. Consequently, my monthly edit numbers have essentially reached a plateau of about 400 a month. Best wishes, DrKiernan 11:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello PR. I am not coaching Eddie as I'm currently coaching 3 other users. I just provided a quick review. Eddie still has to attain more experience before attempting an RFA, but he's definitely on the right track. I might indeed offer to nominate him, but if you're interested in co-nom, you must ask him, not me. It's the candidate who accepts or declines nominators. It's fine with me btw.

Hello. Thanks for keeping an open mind about DrKiernan's RfA and taking the time to rethink your opposition. I have to agree with you that we are in bad need of active admins. However, since we can't seem to find too many of these, low-activity admins are also needed. Actually, we wouldn't have such recurrent backlog problems if we had another two or three hundred admins chipping in only now and then. The only question we really have to answer in RfAs is whether or not we are confident that the user will have an overall positive impact as an admin, no matter how slim that impact may be.
On a completely unrelated note, I went through your user page to get to your talk page and I don't know if anybody has ever mentioned this to you but it's, how shall I put this, a little bit on the heavy side as far as politics-related userboxes. For one thing, it's not really in-line with the relevant guideline but more importantly it is quite simply a bad idea. For one thing, nobody really cares if you support George Bush, Hilary Clinton or Donald Duck and whatever information you might have on your userpage that's relevant for other users (such as, say, membership in wiki-projects) is completely drowned in the rest. Also, it's unlikely that anybody will change their mind about Fidel Castro or the war in Iraq by looking up your page but it's extremely likely that if and when you find yourself in editing conflicts about politically charged articles, others will see you as someone with an agenda and will have doubts about your objectivity.

Hi - thanks very much for your congratulations (and your support). I'm not (quite) an admin yet - not closed yet - but thanks all the same :). Formal thanks to follow later. ck lostsword| queta!| Suggestions? 16:14, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
