Aulus Plautius
Hello, i found Aulus Plautius and corrected the links to the legions. If you want to write more about them, you can follow List of Roman legions for pointers. Cheers, Muriel 12:51, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)
thanks muchly :)
A note
Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! When you tinker with Anglo-Saxon stuff, be careful that you're not implicitly asserting certainty where none exists. For instance, dates and family relationships are often reported inconsistently by the sources (typically meaning Bede and the ASC differ), and even the modern researchers will disagree too. In such cases we're not competent to choose among them, and we fall back to reporting the several versions, and ideally mentioning which authorities make which claims. Stan 14:38, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Spelling
Thanks for the typo corrections! I know my spelling is atrocious! Chhers, Muriel Victoria 11:23, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Image source
Hi Sarge, can you mention the source of the image image:Anna_kourn.jpg uploaded by you and used in Anna Kournikova. Jay 15:25, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- The Upload page does have a warning about copyrights. Also there's a check-box which has to be clicked saying you have the copyrights. Maybe these were absent when you had uploaded.
- Anyway I'll get the pic replaced soon enough by uploading another with the same name. Or you can send mail to the guy at http://www.igs.net/~bmitchell/Tennis/tennis.htm and get his permission to use the pics of women tennis players. Jay 08:37, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Expanding the Foundation Series article
Just thought I'd let you know - for the Foundation Series page, I added some content re: Foundation's Friends. I just got my copy of the book last week or I would have added it earlier :) --Raul654 09:14, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Contact me on AOL instant messanger (same SN as my username here) and I'll send you it in ebook (.doc) format. I've only gotten through the foundation stories, though. I really liked the Card and Turtledove stories - the Zebrowski one was pretty bad, IMHO. I've intentionally avoided the rest because I'm still progressing through the Robot series - then I am going to write a bunch of articles for them here. --Raul654 09:25, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)
H. P. Lovecraft article
Just wanted to thank you for nominating H. P. Lovecraft as Brilliant Prose a while back. The article is to some degree my "baby" and it was a pleasant surprise to notice it on the list, the article having been posted there a few days after I revised it—not that I had anything to do with it <grin> as the entry was already good. But is it really brilliant prose? I'll attempt to make it thus. Chris Roy 07:11, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Thanks
As the person who created the list of Z languages article, I'd like to thank you for creating Zimakani. Even though it's a stub, it really showed great initiative! - user:zanimum

Sarge, why do you not want the link to the Rotten.com article in the Paris Hilton article? I don't see what's wrong with it. WhisperToMe 08:33, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Rivers
Thanks for your comments. I very much appreciate them. I know you've written a few river articles for Oregon too. I've written a bunch for other states, but Oregon is special because I know a lot of them first hand and they have memories attached to them (I went to Willamette U. in Salem). Maybe that's why I left them for later. -- Decumanus 14:25, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Culture of Hungary
Hi ! Sarge,
Saw Culture of Hungary on the Opentask... A good request.
Thought I should let you know that I have nominated this topic for WP:AOTW, 'coz I think it's a good candidate. I think it will get more attention there than from Opentask.

Babylonia as AOTW
Hi, Sarge,
Shall we merge this article with those listed under 'See also:', and also with Babylon, to make 1 giant article ? I'm not sure what else to add that is not already in Wikipedia.
In contrast, Babylonian literature and science is incomplete.

Featured articles on the main page
Uh, Owen, I (and I alone) choose the main page featured articles. You added Mount Saint Helen, which (a) is timely (which means it shouldn't be the main page FA because it belongs on ITN) and (b) an almost identical article was featured less than 3 weeks ago. If you want something featured, ask me on my talk page or on one of the related talk pages - I'll either say yes or give you a good reason why not. →Raul654 02:28, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Thank you for protection. As the version you protected includes the blunt lie "237,062 atom-bomb victims have died, but this tally includes everyone who was in the city when the bomb exploded who has since died." that can be easily shown to be wrong with the link the other version includes - the cumulative death toll associated with the effects of the bombing was 237,062. - I would like to ask you to make use of the rule that the protecting sysop may choose to protect the version favoured by those more closely complying with the guideline on repeated reverts. TDC reverted repeatedly and even went on when he had admitted at talk that his reverts made a lie reappear. Get-back-world-respect 18:27, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
A couple things. Do you think you should be protecting and favoring a particular version of the article when you are personally involved in the article? I would also like out point out that GBWR has also violated the three revert in 24 hours rule. Also the article provide by GBWR, unlike the link to the pathological report on the long term radiological effects of the bombing, provides no clue whatsoever as to how the "City of Hiroshima" came to its conclusions. TDC 19:19, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)

Moving Popes
Was there consensus somewhere to move all the popes to remove their titles? Somewhere in the instructions for editing (I don't have time to look up a link at the moment) it specifically said to use "Pope" for the titles of those articles. I don't really care whether it's there or not, but this is going to create a huge number of redirects (hopefully not double redirects)... Mpolo 19:27, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)
Yes, the decision to leave "Pope" on is of long standing and is useful for distinguishing Popes from temporal authorities with exactly the same name. I don't think this one was thought through sufficiently. Stan 00:45, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I understand your reasoning, but it would have been better to post the idea for review at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles), which is pretty specific about correct pope nomenclature. The existing convention was hammered out after much dispute; the only way you'll avoid excoriation now is if all the original debaters have died or moved away. :-) Stan 01:13, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I notice you've made a number of positive contributions to various micronation articles recently. You may wish to keep an eye on Sealand in particular. A foaming-at-the-mouth anti-micronation nutter named Gzornenplatz has been using it as the subject of an edit war and stalking campaign for a number of months, and it looks as though he/she is at it again. --Gene_poole 05:45, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Deletionism
I think it is very unfortuant that Gay Kingdom is being deleted. I have made a copy before it gets deleted. It maybe helpful to work on it then respost it later when it is bigger.

Deletionist campaign
Hi there. As someone who has displayed a fairly rational and objective attitude towards micronation articles in the past I thought you might be interested to note that the rabid deletionist lobby is on the march against them again.
The latest target is New Utopia, which although a poorly written article in its current form concerns a subject that is eminently encyclopaedic, being the latest in a long line of libertarian "new country projects" (and therefore representative of a notable social/historic phenomenon), being the subject of dozens of international press and TV stories, as well as the subject of a widely-known US Securities & Investment Commission investigation for fraud.
You might want to take a look at the VfD and respond accordingly.
For future reference you might also want to note the articles in the Micronations Category, in order to keep an eye on its contents; I’ve been adding a number of well-researched, illustrated, fully referenced articles to this category in recent months, but there are moves afoot thanks to a highly suspect ongoing arbitration of process to have me banned completely from writing anything at all about micronations on the basis that as the founder of one, anything I write is somehow self-promotional and/or controversial. --Gene_poole 22:11, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
I was looking at the U.S. city and county articles and noticed that you've made some number of changes. I've chosen to multi-license all of the rambot contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or even {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. State]] article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Wikipedia:Multi-licensing), you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}} -- Ram-Man 13:47, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

More schools on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion
As of March 25, 2005, there are an additional (6) articles listed for deletion under the POV notion that schools are non-notable (even though this is invalid reasoning as per the Wikipedia deletion policy). Please be aware that the following schools are actively being discussed and voted upon:
- VfD: Blake Junior High School (renominated)
- VfD: Franklin High School
- VfD: Lake Dow Christian Academy
- VfD: Red Lake High School
- VfD: The Sage School
- VfD: Toowoomba Grammar School
In response to this cyclical ordeal, a Schoolwatch programme has been initiated in order to indentify school-related articles which may need improvement and to help foster and encourage continued organic growth. Your comments are welcome and I thank you again for your time. --GRider\talk

Req. for your work on Sony v Universal
I think Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios could make a great featured article. It doesn't quite meet the requirements yet, but it could with a little work. In light of the debates and cases about digital piracy and the obligations of hardware/software creators, the affirmation/modification/elimination of the Sony precedent is a key issue for the future of information technology.
Since you've worked on the article in the past, feel free to take another look to bring it "up to code" for a nomination. Feco 21:05, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Mary's vs Marys River
Just wanted to drop you a note about the apostrophe in geographical names. Basically in the U.S. the apostrophe is supressed in all geographical names, at least if you follow the conventions of the USGS USGS query form. I think they adopted this policy for all official names sometime in the early 20th century, much to the chagrin of many locals across the nation. The upshot is that basically there are no apostrophes in official names of features anywhere in the U.S. You're welcome to defend the apostrophe if you truly feel it necessary, but be aware that its no longer the "official" USGS name of the river. -- Decumanus 06:32, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)
- Probably should move it back then, without the apostrophe, if you want the official version. You can always use the query link above to double check, but the rule does indeed apply to rivers. As you've seen, it doesn't stop colloquial local usage of continuation of the apostrophe, especially in newspapers (I used to copyedit for a small paper many years ago and can tell you that in many cases, the style enforcement is horrifyingly lax at times). I think it's good to make a nod to the colloquial usage. I tend to phrase it something like this: St. Marys River. -- Decumanus 06:48, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)

Re: Anarchy
Thanks for your polite and insightful comment on my talk page, Sarge. While i'd love to have a world where hierarchy is no longer needed when people come together to accomplish tasks, we as a species are going to have to overcome millions of years of built in instincts that you probably know about better than I do as a sociology student.
Until that day, we'll probably need rules, even minimal ones, and make sure there's public oversight to see that they're enforced so we don't all kill each other. I mean, look at what happening with Bush and Iraq...
As for my comment earlier, I apologize. I was talking about group decision making structure specifically if I recall, a tricky situation in any group of anarchists.
If it were for the fact that I think Libertarianism is a right wing ploy from around 90% of the Libertarians i've met, I'd be a Libertarian too, which is basically "Anarchy Lite" it seems. However, it's more appropriate to call myself a pragmatic and individualistic Liberal more than anything else. --Karmafist 28 June 2005 19:32 (UTC)
Stub Sorting Project
Hello. I've noticed recently that you have been adding a number of stub templates to Category:People stubs. I just though I would pop by to point out Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub Sorting. --TheParanoidOne 4 July 2005 22:05 (UTC)
bio-stubs
Hi Sarge Baldy - not sure exactly what's going on with all the bio-stub subcategories you've been creating, but none of them have gone through the debating process at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria, and many of them don't meet the criteria required for the creation of them. All of them have been listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria#Newly-discovered stub templates, and we'd really welcome some comment from you about them. Grutness...wha? 5 July 2005 11:16 (UTC)
- You replied - Well I must admit I hadn't realized Wikipedia had entered a period of such bureaucratic morass that it was now necessary to receive permission prior to adding new form of categorization. Also beyond simply a means of categorization, it would seem radically POV to mark only some nations as "acceptable" choices for stub categorization. Particularly since it seems clear to me that the root category of bio-stub is choked and in need of additional categories. Frankly I see no reason to think I should need to ask before making such additions, and in fact would much rather abandon the matter entirely than touch the bureaucratic machine. So I suppose I'm done sorting these stubs, and if you would like to nominate any number of my stub types for deletion somewhere, I will not care enough to generate protest.
Stub categories are not ordinary categories, and require different treatment. They are there to help editors, rather than readers. For that reasons different guidelines are required in their formation. As to some nations being acceptable choices and others not being, consider the area I work in mostly, geo-stubs. I could quite happily make stub categories for eery country that has stub articles. There would be a category for the one Dominica geo-stub, one for for the four Anguilla geo-stubs, and one for the four Anguilla stubs. Which would be useless for editors and Wikipedia alike - an editor working on the caribbean would have to search through a couple of dozen separate categories, and namy of the categories would be emptied and end up being proposed for deletion. For this reason, set minimum sizes prior to stub category creation are set. Furthermore, since there are a lot of different stub categories in a specific hierarchy, the addition o new ones first needs to be checked against that hierarchy - a hierarchy which has things like one overally grouping for articles relating to both Koreas, since the history of the two countries overlaps to such a parge extent. Having two separate categories for North and South Korean bio-stubs therefore goes against that hierarchy, and only makes sense if every bio-stub for Korea was for someone born after 1950 (the opposite is very much the case). There is a reasonable amount of bureaucracy related to the project, but it is there for very good reasons. Even with ordinary non-stub categories, many are sent daily to WP:CFD - the same is true with the number of badly-created stub categories and templates sent to WP:SFD. When one person decides to create a dozen or more new stub types, without adding them to any stub-type lists so that other editors can find them, without announcing that he is going to make them or has made them, and without checking whether they meet the minimum requirements for stub creation (as detailed on all Wikipedia pages dealing with stubs), it causes a huge amount of work for the stub sorting Wikiproject, is of no use to editors (as there is no indication anywhere that the new stubs exist), and potentially rediuces the effectiveness of having stubs categorised. It would be good if you continued to help sort stubs, but there are many people at WP:WSS who might also feel it was better if you abandoned the matter entirely if you do not intend to work within the system. Grutness...wha? 5 July 2005 12:13 (UTC)

thanks for supporting me
Hello, just a quick note to express my gratitude for your support of my RfA. I'm sure I'll become a familiar face on places like the Administrator's Noticeboard and Requests for Adminship, as well as the murkier parts of my new job. "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." (Luke 12:48, NIV) Never was a truer word spoken. I feel empowered, yes, but not in the "oooh cool delete button!" way I was kind of expecting. Already I feel the weight of the responsibility I have now been entrusted with, a weight that will no doubt reduce given time. Thank you for believing in me. :) GarrettTalk 10:16, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

I see you were doing some admin stuff to the Sound Art page. I am new to wikipedia and am still learning the ropes for terms, additions, moves, et cetra.

I left some talk on the discussion section of the page regarding my thoughts. Can you perhaps help me with this issue? Cheers.
About Italian Radicals
Hi Sarge, the Italian Radicals are not that easy to classify. They claim to be liberali, liberisti, libertari, but their interpretation of the words might be different from English. They are a "fluctuating" party, i.e. they have rather volatile opinions on some issues, but definitely not socialists. They do not fit well on the left-right axis, to put it straight. --Orzetto 09:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Anti-semitism within anarchism
I notice that you removed the references to anti-semitism within anarchism because it is not part of anarchist doctrine - but the page is not about anarchist doctrine but about anarchism. If you want to deal with issues by settimng up a page on anarchist dioctrine, why not propose such a shift. You have also removed the reference to Anarchist Integralism - which I have replaced. Perhaps you could explain why you are so fanatical about removing critical references to anarchism. Unfortunately racism is clearly part of anarchism both today and in the past. I am concerned that anarchists like you spend your time sweeping this kind of stuff under the carpet, instead of fostering a critical undertsanding of anarchism, so that people can understand its strenghts and weaknesses.Harrypotter 23:28, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Question On Anarchy and Anarchopedia
Hey Sarge, since you're the resident Anarchy expert around here, I figured I'd ask you this question.
Considering that Anarchopedia is basically Wikipedia except slanted towards Anarchist topics(although not officially since they refuse to enforece it by their philosophy) and run with an Anarchist organizational structure (which still seems overly idealistic and somewhat oxymoronic considering the current average mental attitude of the human race), I was wondering what you thought about suggesting transwiki-ing articles that fit under WP:CSD over there in an attempt to reach out to inclusionists whenever there's a dispute and consensus can't be reached.
Also, what do you think they'd think to using the project as kind of a "resort" for good users who feel like vandalizing things every now and then due to the Dualism of humans, making sure that the negative side of the users' personality stays out of Wikipedia? I like to think that the positive attributes can be cultivated and grown to the point where someday the negative portion can be totally negated, constructively integrated or even eliminated from the human psyche (Nirvana?), but i'm skeptical looking at the way the world has been going lately, both off and on Wikipedia. Anarchy would be nice, but it doesn't seem to be able to work unless there is an unwritten covenant between everyone participating in the system(which seems to theoretically go against the concept of anarchy), or until it's actually some kind of "Post-archy" where people have progressed beyond the need or desire for interpersonal cooperation. Karmafist 04:20, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Sarge, I was beginning to think I insulted you with my comment, which definately was not my intention.
On #1: Hopefully we and other people on Wikipedia can work together towards fixing the problem with the deletion process. I don't think it's as broken as alot of people say, but I do think it needs some work, especially in instances like yesterday when some guy asked to delete an article "Because He Didn't Like It"[1].
I don't agree with the whole "Voting Is Evil" thing, but I do think voting arbitrarily is. Voting isn't the focus, discussing ideas and trying to reach a perceptual consensus is.
I never quite understood why non-sysops couldn't see deleted versions either. I dislike censorship 99.9% of the time(the only time it's ok is if you saying something would almost definately cause harm in someway, and even then, that's not great.), and not allowing a "lower" user to see something smacks of censorship to me. I became a sysop a few weeks ago, so if there's a user who isn't a sysop but wants to see the deleted version and you're too busy, please feel free to send them my way. I enjoy circumventing injustice without causing other problems.
On #2: Since you're more of an expert on Anarchy, you'll have to excuse me for being perplexed on your answer. Wouldn't a block be something indicative of power, something that I assumed anarchists disliked? Is it ok when it can happen at random or it's not organized? To me, even Anarchopedia doesn't seem to be an anarchy with all those "Blocs" and "Factions" on there. It seems like a government to me, except it's a government of will power(I'll do what I want, and you do what you want, and if what either of us wants conflicts, it'll be decided by whoever is willing to go farther.) That's why I asked you, I was going to make a block of nihilists on there as kind of a WP:POINT thing and as an experiment regarding anarchy. However, I'm not a jerk by nature, I tried doing that on some political web game a month or two ago, but just couldn't go through with it because people started to get beligerent and i'm just not very good with Professional Wrestler-esque posturing. I still might make a faction based on Monster Raving Loony Party philosophy.
Oh yeah, one more thing. What's the difference between Libertarianism and Anarchy in your opinion? To me, Libertarianism always seemed like lazy man's Anarchy. Some of them are fairly cool, and I can even almost agree with competely, apparently(the Libertarian Socialists), but many others are just selfish people who only want government when it suits them and don't mind trampling on other peoples' rights in order to serve their own interests.

Saul Newman
Hiya Sarge, found yr stub on Saul Newman, but you mixed him up with a completely different Saul Newman in the US. The post-anarchist lives and works in Australia, so I made a couple of changes to the stub. Hope you like them :)
Ensuring consistency
I have edited the intro of this the anarchism article to point to anarcho-capitalism and removed the section on anarcho-capitalism. This is an attempt to mirror the status of the libertarianism article in regards to the lesser known libertarian socialism, please take a moment to look at each article and compare. It is my belief that given the featured status of the libertarianism article, its relative stability compared to this article, and the clear similarity of the subject matter, this is a road toward a legitimate compromise. I would ask that the two major catalysts of the ongiong edit war of this article (RJ and Hogeye), both of whom have also edited the libertarianism article, please ensure that you are consistent in any standard you apply to this article. Hopefully this will help us reach the point of stability that the civil editors of libertarianism have been able to do in the relative absence of constant antagonism.

Anarchism and political compass
Sarge Without wishing to get into an "I'm a better anachist that you" argument (in part because I don't like the label and, in any case, I'm almost certainly not), shouldn't a pure anarchist be -10, +10? Not sure how an anarchist can support collectivism which is, after all, a form of compulsion?
Like I say, I ask out of interest and not to start an argument. ElectricRay 17:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Sarge, thanks for your reply - of course you're right, i did mean +10,-10. I am familiar with your view - it's more or less the Chomsky approach, which I've never found persuasive. It may be a justifiable or defensible politcal position (pretty much any political position is), and it may be coherent, but in the ordinary sense of the word, just isn't anarchy. The market is anarchy. ElectricRay 10:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- I see where you're going - but there's a contradiction there, isn't there, becuase to require a state of no actual rule by anyone requires imposing rules, pretty much on everyone. All the data and philosophical argument (Adam Smith in economics; Darwin, Dawkins, Dennett et al in biology; Axelrod in game theory) says when you take away all the rules (which is all anarchy can, without contradiction, mean) certain courses of dealing and ways of interacting will come about, algorithmically, out of the interactions of those members of the "ecosystem" (or market, or society, or whatever) that happen to interact. All predict that the best state of affairs will come about without any better rules than those - they'll promote maximum diversity, efficiency, and reflection of received value judgments amongst members of the community, exactly because people will tend to follow their own best interests, be it by being part of a hierarchy, or a beauracracy, or not. As long as they're not compelled to be part of any "~archy", then the invisible hand will work out which is the best. That's pure anarchy to me. Yes, *some* people will get stomped on, but no more (and probably less) than get stomped on in any other system. To me, banning people from voluntarily forming hierarchies in the name of preventing people from being ruled isn't a coherent or sustainable philosophy. ElectricRay 21:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Request For Protection Until Dispute Resolved
Hi, i want to know if its possible to protect the Gothic Metal article. A while back i performed a revision of the page after a near 2 month dispute on the articles contents. After intense discussion and several revisions of the talk page on the since deleted temp article, one of the users has proceeded to start vandalising pages ive edited. This user is DanteInferno. This user was involved in the debate in opposition to the revision i wished to make, which was made due to consensus being reached on the revision and the argument being abandonded against it being posted. Since the users return he has demanded that i am vandalising pages, and has claimed me of using sock puppets to make edits to pages, and has claimed several users dislike me and refuse to work with me. Both of these claims are unsourced. Dante also seems to exhibit Meglomanical Point of View, reverting any edits made to pages listed on his user page, on the basis he 'owns' the articles. I do not know clearly how to deal with this user, and i have posted this message to several admins as i wish to ask advice from several admins i have had no previous contact with, as i do not wish to seem biased. I hope that the page can be protected against this vandalism, as it is disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point, which along with the users other actions against me, is in violationg of several Wikipedia policys. Sorry for having to seek help this way, but i am at a loss at the best way to handle this users personal vendetta against me. Leyasu 17:18, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising
The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Wikipedia, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Wikipedia in the Wikipedia namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Wikipedia history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Wikipedia altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Wikipedia namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Epistemic Advantage
I found this article in dead-end pages where it has been lingering for a number of months. The original author has made no other wiki contributions. As you have contributed substantially to articles in the PostModernist Feminism field, could you take a quick look at this and see if it is salvageable and let me know, otherwise I will put it on the AFD list. Thanks MNewnham 02:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- No particular concern, just trying to make an impact on the huge number of dead-end pages, so I'm being fairly agressive on either passing them on to others for expert opinions, or getting them into the deletion queue. Thanks for your responseMNewnham 03:07, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Sarvodaya
Hi Sarge Baldy, you just added Sarvodaya to the list of anarchist concepts. In what way is this an anarchist concept? I don't see anarchism mentioned on the Sarvodaya page or on Vinoba Bhave's page. Thanks! - N1h1l 16:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, it definitely seems to parallel anarchist thought, but I'm not sure that it should be included in a "list of anarchist concepts" (since it isn't directly an idea generated by anarchists or embraced by anarchists). Maybe we should add a section called "Related concepts" to the list? That would seem more appropriate, perhaps. What do you think? - N1h1l 16:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- What else should be included? Perhaps Situationism and Liberation theology. - N1h1l 17:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Anarchism
No, no, if it's a banned user, you can take what steps are necessary, and semi is a good step (if blocks don't work and range blocks are too much collateral). Try to keep the protections brief though, else the banned user effectively wins by forcing us to restrict all anons and all new editors just for the sake of stopping them. Can I encourage you to provide explicit reasons in your protection reasons, as this will make it clear to other admins who come along — it's pretty hard to work out what's going on from a blank summary! -Splashtalk 21:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Indefinite blocks
Please don't use indefinite blocks on IP addresses, unless you know they are open proxies. In case you know for sure they are fixed, you can use long blocks such as one year; otherwise, use much shorter blocks. In the case of Special:Contributions/72.21.55.90, for instance, the edit patterns point to either a dynamic IP address or an open proxy. --cesarb 01:23, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Restoring items
Hi. Please do not restore something deleted by another admin without attempting discussion with them first. Most of the time, a resonable compromise can be reached - and the admin may have had a reason for his/her actions you arn't aware of. Discussion helps to avoid to wheel wars. In the recent usrbox case, which resulted in desysoppings, Arbcom defined wheel waring as 8.2) Wikipedia:Wheel warring (undoing an administrative action by another administrator) without first attempting to resolve the issue is unacceptable; see Wikipedia:Resolving disputes#Avoidance, "Do not simply revert changes in a dispute.". Yes, that came as a surprise to me too, but I thought you might like to know about it. Thanks. --Doc ask? 19:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello
It's been a while since we've had contact (I was gone for two weeks and now I'm avoiding the anarchism article b/c it's a mess). Anyway, I've been very involved in the userbox restoration movement, as you appear to have been as well. I think you might want to see this manifesto I just wrote. I tried to make it a reflection of anarchist principles, but I trust as an admin and an anarchist you can add a great deal to it on the amendments and discussion sections. I welcome criticism and support for this if you are willing to give it. Either way, stay stong comrade. The Ungovernable Force 07:24, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for signing. I like that bit about ethnographers, seeing as I'm studying anthropology right now. I really do value your judgment based on what I have seen of you, and I was very glad that you signed. If you have time and don't mind, I would like you to help me maybe work any kinks out by adding amendments . It might take a day or two of comments though before anything that needs to be changed comes to our attention. As an admin you are probably quite busy and I can understand if you do not have the time or energy. Also, see the newsflash on my userpage, it is quite telling of the authoritarian nature of some admins on this site. Also notice that MarkSweep actually took my newsflash out and called it harassment of Kelly Martin. These are troubling times. The Ungovernable Force 08:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Thinking ahead
- In short I think it's best to ignore the short term benefits of any action, and think entirely ahead. For instance, I see actions such as merging as generally worthless if the smaller article is notable enough to have an article at all, because in the end it will only need to be recreated.

Eros + Massacre
I'm afraid I don't know where to find the movie "Eros + Massacre" in english, and doubt very strongly that it is available at all. I haven't seen the movie in full myself. I've only seen few screen shots and read several reviews. However, I am familar with the actual events of Osugi Sakae's life, and so I was able to construct the entry by cross referincing my knowledge with the aforementioned reviews. Realizing that my knowledge would be iffy, as the movie itself could have improperly portrayed some facts, I left the entry somewhat bare. However, I had neglected to include two important notes. Thanks to this little reminder, I've now added two stubs, "Japanese Films" and "Anarchism," respectively. My hope is that eventually the movie will increase in popularity and eventually be released in english, or that fan producers will take it upon themselves in the grand tradition of direct action and create a fan-sub.

Hi, you moved the stub to below the cats on London (2006 film). I always thought that only interwikis were meant to go after the cats so I'd appreciate if you could point me to the page that stipulates stubs should go after cats? Thanks Arniep 20:39, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Knives in V for Vendetta
Hey Sarge, I looked a little more closely at the comics, and I found a couple of things you may want to look at before dismissing this issue. In the chapter called "Video," V uses a knife against the guards within the studio. Also, in V's final encounter with Finch in the subway, he is shown throwing one of his knives to incapacitate him. These two instances would make "appears to kill using only his fingers" incorrect. Thoughts? Hedymiguel 00:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
That's exactly what I was thinking... The preference is obviously knives in the film, which is most definitely understated (though present) in the comic. Hedymiguel 03:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Swimming
Hello Sarge Baldy. As you have done work on swimming content on wikipedia, I invite you to have a look at this portal and see what you think about it and how it can be improved. Also, at the moment, the news section is mainly about Australian swimmers, so if you can think of some relevant US content, feel free to add this. I have also created an article Swimming World Swimmers of the Year and have submitted it as a featured list candidate at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Swimming World Swimmers of the Year. Please comment on how it could be improved, etc. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Sarge
Left a message in the Talk:V for Vendetta film. It was aimed at everyone, but since I you're the only person I know who has a personal collection of scanned V for Vendetta pictures, it was mostly addressed to yourself. What do you think about this? Advice from someone who knows the comic would be appreciated. --P-Chan 07:03, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Something happened to the peer review
Hi Sarge. Something very odd. The peer review doesn't seem to be there anymore! (It used to be right after Genesis (Band)). As a sysop, would you know what happeend or how to fix this? I have a feeling this may have something to do with an order on the page to remove all FAC articles from the peer review. It is quite possible that someone mistaken the V for Vendetta (film) for the V for Venetta article. Thanks Sarge. --P-Chan 06:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Peer Review
I noticed that you did a peer review for V for Vendetta (film), a film based on a comic book written by Alan Moore. Presently, the Watchmen article has been put forward for a peer review and, since this is also written by Alan Moore, I was wondering if you could give an opinion on that article? It would be very much appreciated. Thanks Adasta 23:53, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

User:Hogeye
Hi Sarge,
User:AaronS has alleged that User:Hogeye is evading his ban by using open proxies at anarchism. I don't know enough about this to determine if it is true, but the revert war going on there is ridiculous. I have asked for the page to be fully protected temporarily on the requests for protection noticeboard.
Additionally, I notice you are the blocking admin for Hogeye, so perhaps you can best determine if it is him editing, if so perhaps semi-protection is more appropriate?
I also noticed there is no notice up on Hogeye's page about the ban...
In this I don't know which version on Anarchism is superior - there are too many edits going on to keep track. Be great if you could look into it. Many Thanks, CaptainJ (t | c | e) 21:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- It looks like hogeye to me, who has shown no qualms of evading blocks in the past. The Ungovernable Force 07:42, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
BOT - Regarding your recent protection of Anarchism:
You recently protected[6] this page but did not put in a protection summary. If this is an actual (not deleted) article, article talk, or project page, make sure that it is listed on WP:PP. Please be sure to use protection summaries when you protect pages. Do not remove this notice until a day or so, otherwise it may get reposted. Thanks. VoABot 16:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
My bad
I reverted without looking closely. I thought the only difference was the spacing of where the tags were. Your version had the templates overlapping, and I thought that was the only difference. Sorry 'bout that. The Ungovernable Force 19:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Juneteenth
While is is unfortunate that Juneteenth is apparently not a public holiday where you live, there are celebrations occurring in Oregon. [7] I hope one of these might be close enough to you for you to join in the celebration. I have now sourced the relevant statement in the article - thanks for your conributions there and elsewhere. Best, Johntex\talk 22:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. It's nice to see it is being celebrated here, even if at a much smaller scale than elsewhere. Looking at that site it seems pretty clear it isn't something entirely known in some areas yet. For instance, Utah, Vermont, New Hampshire, Montana and the Dakotas have no events listed and Washington has only one. Although I don't doubt it's spreading into these areas, the article should still clarify in some way that events remain largely centered in specific areas, and that it's not widely known or celebrated in many parts of the country. Sarge Baldy 22:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
A belated hello
From one long-time Wikipedian in Oregon to another. Do you have plans to attend OSCON next month? (Or will you even be in Oregon over the summer break?)

Problems with another admin
Hey Sarge, could you look at this and tell me if I'm wrong for wanting information on this? I really feel that this admin is being incredibly patronizing because I am merely a commoner and not some big fancy admin. Even if my original request was invalid (which I did not think it was at first), I feel as if this user should at least have the common courtesy to explain these decisions to us. I don't feel like continuing because I can tell they are upset with me and I'm afraid of a block, but I really feel like I'm being pushed around merely for wanting information into a decision I disagree with. Am I out of line here? The Ungovernable Force 07:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Individualist anarchism
Hi, Sarge. It would be great if you could semiprotect individualist anarchism. It seems that our Hogeye sockpuppet is becoming less subtle (just look at the edit history). Thanks. ---AaronS 19:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
ummm... help, RE anarchism?
Oh wow, I have no idea if I'm doing this right. Sarge Baldy, I see your name plastered all over the Anarchism article and the pages it links to, which suggests to me that you'd be a good person to ask for help on this. I notice that when it comes to celebrities who endorse Anarchy, there is a disturbing lack of punk rock artists on the list. Now, I may not be an expert, but in my experience, absolutely everyone I've ever met that's into Anarchy was brought into the fold by punk rock. Don't these folks deserve at least a mention? Even as a general group? I would edit this myself, but for a couple of reasons... 1) I just created an account about 1/2 an hour ago (I read encyclopaedias, I don't write them) and 2) It seems that the editing for the Anarchism article is locked out, due to vandalism (which makes perfect sense... when the anarchists themselves don't do it, the opponents of anarchy will). By no means do I have a definitive list of punk artists that ought to be on the page, but perhaps at least the Sex Pistols, for a start? I don't feel confident to write this edit, but is there anyone who could? If you want to contact me to tell me what I should be doing when I see a situation like this (or to tell me that I suck out loud... y'know, whatever), I don't think a talk page is the most efficient way. Try emailing me at john.laduke@gmail.com, so as to assure I'll actually realise you're trying to tell me something. Or just ignore me... I don't suppose it really matters in the grand scheme of things. In any case, thanks for any help you can provide!

Hogeye evading (again)
Ever since anarchism had the semi-protect removed, hogeye started editing with IPs (probably open proxies) again. User:64.159.81.81 is the one I'm dealing with most right now. Others include User:217.160.230.161, User:Beeboe and User:FreeJohnG, as well as a few IP's that have already been blocked. I suggest semi-protecting anarchism again, and blocking all the socks. Also, keep an eye on American individualist anarchism, which is a POV fork created by one of the Hogeye socks a while ago. It currently redirects to Individualist anarchism in the United States, but hogeye readded their POV fork after I reverted it back to the redirect (calling me an asshole in their edit summary no less). Thanks. The Ungovernable Force 02:00, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if you removed it because you no longer feel that way, which would add more layers to the discussion, or if you just felt it was unimportant.

I have genitaly an ovary and testicle, a vagina and penis, medium breasts and feminine/masculine looks and feminine voice. My body is slim and athletic, I am not very strong physically but i can be mentally strong. Being able to see matters in both feminine and masculine perspective helps me understand my clients needs in a more loving way.

Romanisation of Korean
Hi, it seems you have used the romanisation kolisuchae in the baekjeong article. Would you mind to give the original hangul spelling? It's obviously not Revised Romanization of Korean, which doesn't allow the string oli. My only guess that has yielded some search engine results was 거리수채, which would seem odd to call people. I think it's generally a good idea to include hanja or hangul if you're not sure about how to romanise a term. Wikipeditor 14:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Posting Image:Alan Greenspan color photo portrait.jpg on the main page
Thanks for posting Image:Alan Greenspan color photo portrait.jpg on the main page. However, I noticed that you forgot to protect it. As per WP:PPOL#Uses, "A permanent or semi-permanent protection is used for: Protecting high visibility pages such as the Main Page from vandalism."
The {{Mprotected}} template should be applied to images stored here on the English Wikipedia.
However, for images from Wikimedia Commons, there are two options:
- Copy the image, upload it locally, and add {{C-uploaded}}. Or,
- If you are an admin at the Commons, protect the version at the Commons, and add Commons:Template:En main page. Then put {{Mprotected}} in the image description page here and protect the image to keep a local image from being uploaded here.

It seems to me that User:In the Stacks has an axe to grind with Chuck Munson (which appears to be mutual) and as such is refusing to allow any links to infoshop.org. This isn't going anywear, so I thought I'd ask you to take a look. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 04:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- User:In the Stacks keeps removing the link whenever anyone puts it in and is not discussing this. We need some kind of dispute resolution. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 03:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Undeletion request
Hi Sarge, could you undelete Doom clone? - Fredrik Johansson 06:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Howdy from Portland
Hi Sarge, I emailed you about a WikiMeetup here in Portland, but haven't received an answer from you. Are you still thinking it over? -- llywrch 02:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry to hear about things. Been there, done that: it sucks. If you change your mind, you're still welcome to stop by. If not, let's try to arrange a WikiMeetup closer to your part of Oregon; I always enjoy meeting another old-timer Wikipedian. -- llywrch 17:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

- I added up a brief description of the Meetup to the page at the link above. There were a lot of non-Wikipedia people there eager to meet Jimbo, & we Wikipedians -- who had not met before -- just socialized. (A Venture Capitalist based in Seattle joined us at one point; I remember it well because as pleasant as he was, he really wasn't on our wavelength.) I'm hoping that we might have another Meetup in a few months -- this time on a weekend when more people will have the time to participate. -- llywrch 19:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Waldo Park
Thanks for doing an article on Waldo Park. If I lean back in my chair quite aways I can see it from here in the cube farm. Katr67 23:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding in the news
If there is no debate over it, then add it to the article with some reliable sources. The news on the main page should never contain information that the article itself doesn't have. The news is to showcase Wikipedia articles; Wikipedia is not a newspaper. —Centrx→talk • 08:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Anthropology project
I have communicated with The Ungovernable Force regarding the proposed anthropology project which you indicated an interest in, and have gotten the OK from him to move the project into wiki-space and make it active. He indicated that he is busy in school right now, but will be as active as he can be given that. The project page as it now exists is only a minimum page, and could use the input of interested parties such as yourself. Personally, I did noticably poorly in the one cultural anthropology class I took in college, so I'm bowing out of this one, but wish you and the other members of the project the best of luck with it. Thank you. Badbilltucker 21:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi- you might be interested in the ongoing discussion to be found here. Comments and contributions greatly appreciated. Badgerpatrol 00:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Let's see, you fucking idiot
If you support the independence of the so-called """"Cascadia"""", that's a contradiction with being an "unboxed anarchist", fucking moron. Furthermore, I bet that if the "masculist" userbox were blue, you wouldn't complain about that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.50.130.179 (talk) 21:39, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
WikiProject Anthropology Collaboration of the month
Hello. I noticed that you signed up for WikiProject Anthropology and thought that you might be interested in participating in the Collaboration of the Month. This month's article is Marvin Harris. Thanks. Stilgar135 19:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Time to celebrate!
Did you hear the good news? Woot, woot! Took long enough. Too bad he was never made responsible for any of that crap though. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 02:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- I usually feel that way, especially with the more petty authoritarians (like cops and soldiers), but I just can't help it with people on that level. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 00:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm going to have to see that. I hadn't even heard of it. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 20:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
white tea
The edits on flavonoids etc. to add white tea are likely unjustified. White tea is clearly a form of green tea, and there is mixed evidence for white tea containing more catechins than green tea. Processing of a tea from raw tea leaves to green tea can result in as little as 5% loss of catechins through withering and firing, while clonal and seasonal variations in catechin content can be greater than 25%. Some darjeeling teas, processed as black tea, have been observed to contain more catechins than some green teas, even some white teas, because of their growth in mountainous areas exposes them to lots of ultraviolet radiation and catechins is a protective plant response to this.
In addition, there are substantial undifferentiated processing methods in oolong and black tea, and it is unnecessary to differentiate all the types of tea if those distinctions are made directly in the tea article. Propose removing green/black/white/red/oolong mentions separately in articles such as flavonoid and just linking to tea, since this is not well established science and looks like a promo/advert for white tea, which can be sold at a premium and yet does not have any proven "health benefit", which is deceptive advertisement.

Moving pages
Hey, I've seen that you just moved the on-going Ipswich murder/serial killer/whatever page without discussing it. This is confusing for other editors and I'm not sure your chosen title is correct since there have been multiple murders so it would have been better to include something about the fact that there more than one person had been killed. Also, have you ensured that no double redirects are now in place (e.g. Gemma Adams)? The last editor who moved the page didn't bother removing these which is bad practice. Cheers! Budgiekiller 08:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
As per Budgiekiller, please could you fix up the double redirects on this please? Cheers. — Matt Crypto 09:11, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

- Sorry about that :) I just wanted to wish you an early birthday (it's about 6 hours off, according to Wikipedia time) so that you get to see it tomorrow for sure. But you were online today, so you saw it early! ahh well, happy early birthday, and hope you have a wonderfully delightful day tomorrow! -- 18:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

A request for assistance
Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 05:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).

hey, the ungovernable force suggested i ask you about how to go about legally attaching photos to articles. i did an article for Richard Mock, and would like to add a photo of one of his prints, or a photo of him (if i could find one that is), haven't really grasped the rules of fair use and all that. any advice you could give would be much appreciated. cheers!

V for Vendetta move
Hi! I just wanted to ask if your recent move of V for Vendetta (comic) to V for Vendetta means that, in your judgement, the comic has the far more significant meaning compared to the film. Thanks :-) User talk:Neonumbers/Neonumbers 02:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. I've never heard of that convention before — is it part of a WikiProject, or on a non-WikiProject guideline page that I've missed (which would be rather embarassing because I've worked in disambiguation for a while now :-P), or something that simply tends to happen?
- I'm not opposing it, I'm just intrigued to know where it came from. Neonumbers 07:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- I did get a bit sidetracked by your user page on my way here so I'll just mention that I found it interesting to learn about what agnosticism and related beliefs are, having never heard of them before. Neonumbers 07:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

RCP, again
I think I've mentioned this before since it keeps flaring up, but there is a debate going on at Revolutionary Communist Party, USA and the associated talk page regarding an external link to an infoshop page critical of the RCP. This is getting really old. I don't really care as much what the outcome is, but I do want this person or someone else to give a good reason to remove it, instead of repeating their same cliche without addressing the criticism of their "justification." Thanks. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 07:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia Project Gender Studies
Hi Sarge, I'm asking a few Project gender studies members for opinions on a few changes to the project templates. The discussion is here. If you're interested have a look. I'd also like to have the project page unprotected so it could be editted to give due balance to the Gender Theory activities of the project as well as the removal of systemic bias activities - what are your opinions (discussed here)?--Cailil 18:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to bug you again Sarge but an IP User (probably the same one as last time) is making non-consensus edits to WP:GS. The page may needed partial protection so that only registered users can edit. I've made an offical request on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection--Cailil 04:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I added bio material to D. E. Smith page, and some links
its all true
