There are different ways of putting release dates....otherwise why would wikipedia bother with putting other ways of writing release dates other than the one you are specifying???Your constructive critism (as well intentioned as it may be) is still your preference not everyone else's....and I'm wondering why would wikipedia have an article about putting release dates in one way when it could be done in more than 1?.....and I'm not the only 1 that does it I seen other people do it like me too and others totally different...I think this is just your preference, its not mandatory (even though there is a "suggestive" article on it) but some things could be done in more ways than 1.....in my opinion I just happen to like it my way just like you and everyone else's like it their own way which might be the same, similar, or totally different way.....besides it could be reverted at N E time by going through the History tab and looking the article version that u prefer and editing it with your preference or adding recent facts to an older article of your choice, just cut & paste that's all you gotta do. I hope you dont take this as an insult cause I'm trying to be the nicest here (even though you guys unjustly blocked me B4) but anyway....thank you for your input...I'll consider itPaPiRiCoSuAvE (talk) 16:01, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- "unjustly blocked" as in...blocked for being a sockpuppet account. There are many rules and guidelines within the ever-changing Wikipedia government (of sorts)...
- If an admin reverts your edit...either ask them why they "rv"'d it or ignore it... don't just continue.
- Don't give a pointlessly long comment...there's a WP: page telling people not to do that as it counts as spam and very few will read it all the way through.
- It is stupid to add new facts into an older version. If you edit the older version, then that becomes the new version. Anything that was in the previous version but not in the version you used would affect the page... for instance, an entire legitimate section could be wiped out.
- Don't blank your or another users talk page because you don't like its contents. Some sections could be under further posting and removing previous posts will be confusing.
hmmm interesting I just compared my version and Geoff's version (which is the current 1)side by side and we both almost have the same exact content except I have extra info on mine so technically its not outdated like i told you people before...my informations is not outdated :)...now ofcourse I'm not gonna look at evry single version of the article hehehehehe but I looked at the most recent one/s. its just about the same content me and him..I just do it my way but its updated regardless besides it saves the editors lot of work instead of redoing the whole thing, don't worry about outdated info....if I come around to see that something needs to be updated, I'll updated but there is no way I'm gonna write some outdated material...recent revisions of the article are pretty much alike....compare it...I did it myself and the info is pretty much the same except that I just put extra info on mine so now worries....(if you been keeping tab of my progress in this article than you wouldn't really say that),his version n mine (and maybe others) are on the same page we just have different ways of doing it...I know I know it makes it easier in one way but not everyone likes it that way...I've seen different ones by different users but most of the time it contains updated info...I just happen to like the way I do it especially since I put alot of time into doing them so dont worry about that part...I keep my version of the article updated as soon as I hear new things about the subject....ok about this sock puppet thing...PLZ be my guest and Erase XMORPHEUSX or PaPiRiCoSuavE I dont care I just want to edit peacefully...I dont know how to erase accounts just erase one of them or just tell me how to do it....simple....oh yeah by the way this is an important question if 1 of my Accounts gets erased would that include everything related to that erased account like my contributions n such? I hope erasing of of those accounts doesnt erase all the "HARD" work I put into them if it does let me know before you do N E thing...if it doesnt affect my progress be my guest erase one of them....I dont know how to erase accounts so just do it for me, I keep hearing about this multiple account thing just erase one of them......thanxPaPiRiCoSuAvE (talk) 20:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
I just read this:"Deleting your account It is not possible to delete user accounts. One reason for this is the need for all contributions to be assigned to some identifier; either a username or, in the case of anonymous contributions, an IP address. However, you may request that your user page and user talk page be deleted, as explained at Wikipedia:User page, and have your account renamed as described above." ok you say I was causing SOCKPUPPETERY which is having more than 1 account now it tells me I can't delete one of them?????then how the hell AM I suppose to fix this then If i can't delete one of them...you said the problem was because my IP address had more than 1 account...fine ok so then I'll just delete 1 and this article says I can't do it ....so you tell me how am I suppose to fix this?" I don't want to keep hearing this if it could be fixed so fix it or just tell me.PaPiRiCoSuAvE (talk) 21:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

PaPiRiCoSuAvE (talk) 11:33, 8 June 2009 (UTC)ok.......sigh.....I just want to edit without being bothered is that reason enough...I'm tired of writing the same thing all the time...you already know what i put before and its a pain for me to keep writing it. i just want to edit peacefully dats all since supposibly "I can't erase" then I request my user page n user talk page to be deleted as long as it "doesnt" erase my most recent edits which I didn't put hours into it for nothing.do what you gotta do erase the user n talk page but i want my recent edits to be untouched...seriously...I put too hard work into it to be deleted just like that.dats all I care about,my contributions dats all i dont know how many more reasons u want I've run out cause I seem to be editing here more than on the articles I do which is ridiculous
- Can you provide us with an assurance that you understand why you were blocked in your XMORPHEUSX account? As for "i want my recent edits to be untouched", this is a wiki, and there is no assurance of that, particularly since you were edit-warring to keep it. Also, you've stopped writing in standard English. Acroterion (talk) 11:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- YES I FULLY UNDERSTAND I WAS BLOCKED FOR "EDIT WARRING" & "SOCK PUPPETRY" & I PROMISE I WILL FULLY IGNORE COMMENTS FROM OTHER USERS IN WIKIPEDIA INSTEAD OF TELLING THEM OFF FOR CONSTANTLY EMAILING ME USELESS COMMENTS.67.81.62.215 (talk) 12:19, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

- Who's shouting? I'm typing not speaking and that's why I usually do and what others do including admins: you should read the talk pages more often, if they write something just dont talk to them that's it.....that's what other editors and admins do anyway so why would you deny me for doing the same thing??? i dont know if you mentioned it before or not but how old are you anyway????? it seems that the problem here is that you don't like hear the truth.....I'm not a puppet and u are not a puppeteer so stop tryin to talk to me as if im a kid...you seem to be abusing your position as admin....but like all things in life what goes around comes around...you don't seem very social to me why not try to go out and meet some people....you think people are gonna respect you for treating them like a little kid? you are an admin you should know what goes on here. It seems that the one that needs to be growing up is you not me.....by the way "WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS DOESN'T MEAN A PERSON IS SHOUTING LOL IT MAKES IT EASIER TO READ FOR SOME TO READ."....you are not gonna get far in life if your mentality is as it is now....try opening up to the world instead of shutting yourself out off the real world where there are real people who all act different...I'm being polite and it seems you are abusing your authority but dont expect me to dance for you.....all I want is to edit peacufully without "harrassing emails" that's it....that concept seems very very hard for you to possibly comprehend...its like you are giving me an exam of lectures...its very simple you are making it bigger than it is....I edit... you might want to check with your other buddies because they get harrassing emails also what they do is just ignore them. which is what I do most of the time anyway....if you guys can't seem to agree on one thing then that's you' all problems 1 says ignore the other don't. Make up your minds....think about what I'm saying to you: thinking the way you are now is not how the real world acts...in the real world you can't block people whenever you want....there's always someone higher in position so eventually I talk to you superiors about this cause you are trying to control people...I'm not like that....get out of your bubble and explore the world: because its a hell of alot different than what you wanted to be.

- The above rant is no different from those that have preceded it and shows no greater understanding of editing in a collaborative environment. Complaints about the actions of others will not get you unblocked. A sincere effort to understand Wikipedia would, but this looks unlikely. Therefore, this conversation is at an end.

You can't handle the truth can you? truth hurts doesn't it? that's why you dont want to hear it and keep making excuses about ranting and such....what do you expect? for me to be completely quiet??? I have a say in this too and none of you here can tell me otherwise...don't be upset because I'm telling you the truth.....you are making something of little to no importance a hell of alot bigger than it actually is. Don't take your insecurities on other people. We are not to be blamed for other people's lack of social character...in this case yours.What you are talking about isn't or was never about editing...you are making this personal and you shouldn't.Main reason I'm here and millions of others is to edit n look up information here....this isn't a social networking site like myspace and such its a site for information. we might not all have the same opinion on some things but most of us are here are editing collaboratively for the same cause even though we do things different. eventually I will be unblocked :) cause I know for a fact that your way of thinking is not right and you are not the boss here...there are many admins or other people in higher positions that could reverse this cause not everyone is gonna think like you about this....some might think that you are abusing your power and you are transferring your own insecurities to others....I will not let myself be one of those people.And please spare me the ranting part cause this sounds more like a auto response from an insecure person with many excuses but never questions his own. All you do is write statements like this: "The above rant is no different from those that have preceded it and shows no greater understanding of editing in a collaborative environment. Complaints about the actions of others will not get you unblocked. A sincere effort to understand Wikipedia would, but this looks unlikely.

- You still don't see it. No one is forced to edit Wikipedia, neither do they have a right to. It is a privilege to include facts onto Wikipedia, to discuss and compare evidence with other users, and to make Wikipedia more user-friendly. Vandals, Spammers, and those who attempt to avoid bans with complicated legal jargon they do not understand. If you wish to be unblocked, you already wasted that possibility by ignoring the words of your contact and then complaining about them and your "mistreatment". I suggest you:
