Heartfelt

edit

The heartfelt change wasn't one I made, it was the result of an edit conflict. I simply hadn't reached that part of the article yet, but another editor changed it from "heartfelt" at the same time I was working on earlier parts of the article, so the latter edits (some of which were completely inaccurate anyway) were temporarily canceled out until I re-introduced the good ones in my last edit (though my restoration of "heartfelt" didn't show up as a change because you'd already made the same change). -Silence 14:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Right, I figured that out about ten seconds after hitting save page and reviewing the page history. With all the editing going on, I'm not sure I ever thought that you made that change. --Proper tea is theft 14:42, 19 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why Won't you Discuss??

edit

Instead of blindly reverting things, why not discuss them on the talk page? Just a thought. Devilyouknow 22:37, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think you might be looking at this backwards. While I am somewhat sympathetic to your point that Chris Crocker suffers from bloat, your cuts removed a huge chunk of perfectly legitimate, sourced info. I think the burden of taking it to the talk page to seek consensus is mostly yours if you want to make cuts of that magnitude. --Proper tea is theft 22:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
I need permission to make edits? Devilyouknow 22:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
You're free to edit. And I (and others) are free to revert your edits if we don't agree with them. --Proper tea is theft 22:53, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Complaint, and a warning to others

edit

I am unhappy with "Proper tee is theft"'s ( what kind of name is that? ) marking an article that I and a few others had spent hours on as a "Political Ad" and "Non Notable", and proposing it for deletion. He made no specific suggestions for improving it. I am not a wikipedia expert. In fact, this is my first attempt at creating an article. I would be happy to make any specific suggested changes. Instead, I get a cold shoulder and a big "Go Away" sign. His actions, if left uncorrected, make me seriously doubt I will be making future contributions to Wikipedia. The referenced article ( if not already deleted by the time you read this ) is (or was) Ron Paul Online Rally and Photo Mosaic. I have left my objections and rebuttals to "Proper tee is theft"'s actions on the talk page for the afore-mentioned article. I have challenged him to provide even ONE other example of an ever expanding photo mosaic with mouseover tooltips, or with 2000+ unique uploaded facial photos, and especially one for a political candidate (past or present).

I wonder if "Proper tee is theft" would consider my (Dan Libby) other technical contribution likewise non notable and worthy of deletion from WikiPedia? Go right ahead then!

My guess is that both the article and this complaint will mysteriously disappear by tomorrow. Time will tell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.122.156.92 (talk) 03:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your Name Intrigues Me

edit

It reminds me of the Boston Tea Party ^_^. Is there a story behind it? --Thecurran (talk) 21:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
