L'arsenal

Of course you would remove such wittiness and humour being a gooner as well, but a warning?

Just a little fun m8! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.22.152.203 (talk) 20:49, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

This is an encyclopedia, not a comedy rag. Even if you think you are being funny, you'd be better off plying your talents someplace else. Feel free to constructively contribute; do not vandalise. Vincent Valentine 20:53, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Curious

I was just wondering why you removed a warning tag from another users talk page here. Not that it particularly matters to me one way or the other - I just wondered. Thanks.. — Ched ~ ^(yes?) 09:58, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Whoa, I'm sorry. I'm not quite sure how or why that happened. It was pretty close to right before I went to bed though, so maybe I was overtired. My apologies, I didn't mean to. Vincent Valentine 12:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I've done some more thinking about my accidental deletion and here's my best guess: I was using Huggle, and if you look at the time stamps for our edits they were at the same time. My guess is that you saved yours a split second before mine, so when Huggle added a warning for the vandalism I had just reverted, your warning got wiped. It was only my second time using Huggle, but I'm pretty sure the timing thing was just a weird freak occurrence where your edited had just saved and Huggle's internal mechanisms were setting up the warning and they got conflicted. I did not mean to undo your edit. Sorry, again. Best, Vincent Valentine 14:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Daniel, absolutely no reason to apologize what-so-ever. When I saw your reply this morning, I double-checked as well, and as you said - it wasn't you or me. Looks like "Huggle the Heavyweight" out-wrestled "Twinkle-toes" on a vandal revert. An edit conflict (exact same minute on two different articles) which appeared to get caught up in the server cache I guess. The only reason I even asked, is that when I warn a new user (rather than an IP), I'll watchlist for a short time - just to make sure that they: 1.) Get the message, and 2.) don't end up running loose for too long unchecked. I didn't know if maybe you knew some history or information that I wasn't aware of, so out of my curiosity (I know - it killed the cat ... LOL), I dropped the AGF question. If I hadn't been so rushed for time this morning too (was out of town all day), I would have replied sooner. The important parts: Vandal warned, and I got to meet another editor - Hi, I'm Ched. I appreciate you taking the time to check it out too - not all editors are as dedicated or polite, so ... Thank you - and it's a pleasure to meet you. ;) — Ched ~ ^(yes?) 02:46, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Unconstructive?

"Unconstructive" is a term denoting a purely POV-mindset and really does not promote the genuine Wikipedia Experience. It should be left up to readers to make their own decisions on whether what they're reading is "constructive" or not. 76.28.195.113 (talk) 06:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Inserting phrases about genitals into an article does not benefit an encyclopedia. In what way is adding the phrase "or perhaps a giant erect throbbing phallus" constructive? Consensus would be against it being constructive. I do not see how it promotes "the genuine Wikipedia experience." Vincent Valentine 18:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

HTML to Unicode

I'm interested in your use of the bot AWB. In particular, I'm interested to know why your use of it here, directly contravenes the rules for use of the bot, found here. In particular, the rule that says, "Avoid making insignificant or inconsequential edits such as ... converting some HTML to Unicode..." You converted all the HTML to unicode, for no obvious reason and for no benefit whatsoever. I am genuinely confused about this and look forward to your response. Cottonshirtτ 20:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello, sorry it took me so long to reply, as I was on vacation (I'm sure you noticed the Wikibreak box on my user page). In response to your question, the edit in question did make one change (nee → née) that was not related to Unicode. In fact, none of the edits were related to Unicode. The changes made were converting deprecated HTML tags (that's to say, the "b" tag has been replaced by the "strong" tag and the "i" tag has been replaced by "em", in standard HTML, etc.) into Wiki markup, the standard Wiki language. In addition, that rule clearly uses the wording "avoid" as opposed to "it is forbidden." That's why I made the change. Once again, sorry for the delay.

Oldham Roughyeds

I see you have done the same as me at Oldham Roughyeds. Lower case initial letters in Australia, New Zealand etc indicate that the player came on as a sub. Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 07:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh really? Sorry. I'm not super familiar with rugby conventions, so that through threw me for a loop. I see so many wrongly uncapitalized country names these days. Thanks for pointing it out, and I am sorry. Vincent Valentine 12:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

No need to apologise to me, I did exactly the same thing. I've never come across that way of doing it anywhere else. Mr Stephen (talk) 13:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Is it a convention, or just that article? I mean, I've watched rugby plenty of times (wouldn't call myself an expert on the game), etc. but I honestly can't say I've ever seen it done that way. Hmm...anyway, thanks again for pointing it out. Best, Vincent Valentine 13:45, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Just Category:British rugby league teams, I think. Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 18:28, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

thanks

for this minor edit [1]. my fault I didn't revert it. --Mariano-J (talk) 18:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I love the film so I have it on my watchlist. Best, Vincent Valentine 03:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

hello

Why did you revert my edit? I was just trying to improve Wikipedia so you wouldn't have to. You should be ashamed of yourself for cyberbullying me. I'm going to report you to the cyber bullying police who will punish you severely. 204.186.77.112 (talk) 18:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

It was obvious vandalism, so I'm not even going to waste my time explaining it. Vincent Valentine 18:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Why are you such a nerd? Do you spend every minute of every day fixing Wikipedia? I think you need to get a job and a life. Maybe you should hire me as your psychiatrist. I am very cheap, and I'm available six days a week. Let me know so we can get started as soon as possible, as you seem to need much help. Thanks. :) 204.186.77.112 (talk) 18:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
