Are you following me around? First you side against me on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, now I get a suspicious edit conflict. Am I on probation? ;) -- Tim Starling 09:57 Mar 13, 2003 (UTC)

Not with any intent, to be certain. I did follow your first polarization edit just from curiosity, then took a link to another polarization article and spotted an edit opening there. If anything we followed each other :) Salsa Shark 10:01 Mar 13, 2003 (UTC)

I must be stupid or something, but I can't figure out the reverting. I tried it on my own page...

  1. select Older Versions
  2. click on one I'd like to try
  3. uhhhh, what edit button?

Ok now that's weird, NOW there's an edit button. I'll have to figure this out.

Thanks for fixing rocks. I messed up the redirect, then confused myself because "What Links Here" was listing the same page as a triple redirect to itself. Maybe it's the drugs... Tuf-Kat

Thanks for your help with following Michael around and cleaning up after him. -- Zoe

Heh, no problem. You seem to be faster than I am.  :) - Hephaestos

Hi, I don't know if you are on the mailing lists, but thought you might be interested to see that 12.246.100.201 was a bot used by mistake by one of the developers (see http://www.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-March/009724.html). Sounds like you did good work in tidying up :) -- sannse 07:03 Mar 19, 2003 (UTC)

You reverted my additions to "Portable Document Format" for advocacy. I do not advocate. I merely point out that the love of Adobe for its printerlanguage, Post Script (Post Script truly is an amazing language for device independent printing), blinded it to other better altenatives when it developed PDF. I then gave an example of an hypothetical (¿How can I advocate something which is not real?) better altenative which is smaller, editable, and luckily for the blind, text-to-speech-able. I merely tried to give a more complete critique.

It would have been fine to point out shortcomings of PDF, but "only good for printing - nothing else" crosses the line into POV (I can read PDFs on-screen with little difficulty). And the alternative scheme, not being about the Portable Document Format, simply does not belong in the PDF entry. Salsa Shark 07:17 Mar 19, 2003 (UTC)

Mucho gracias for your work on Michael's "contributions" to the Wikipedia. Tuf-Kat

Hi Salsa Shark, Just a quick request – when you add pages to Articles for deletion would you put your addition on a new line and add your user name? I see why you would just add it to a related group, but that makes it look as though the original author listed it – and they might not agree it needs deletion. (In the case of Little Runaway I agree with you anyway :) Many thanks -- sannse 16:11 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)

Hey, Salsa -- I think there's an agreement that xxxx in music] stand out instead of being hidden in a year link. Otherwise, thanks for your work, you've done a great job. -- Zoe

Nice work on weeding our little garden here. May I suggest you become an Admin? All you have to do is post a comment indicating interest on WikiEN-L. Cheers! --mav

I protected the Earl Doherty page, after you alerted me to the pointless edit war there. Please take the lead in moderating the discussion at talk:Earl Doherty. --Uncle Ed

Long time no see. Good to see you back. - Hephaestos 07:16, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Thank you for blanking vandalisms, but please also list the page in WP:CU, mark it in bold if it needs to be deleted, so that a sysop may delete it. Otherwise the page may go unnoticed. Dori | Talk 02:27, Dec 10, 2003 (UTC)

Hi Salsa Shark :) It actually is ==External links, even if there is just one: see the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. It's really annoying having the singular, since people don't bother to modify the header when they add a link, so you have a header of External link with more than one site hanging down from it! IT's better to put the plural in all the time - it's not such a grammatical "badness" since the header signifies the place for external links to be. Anyway, </rant>, and keep up the good work :) Dysprosia 21:06, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi Salsa Shark, shall we agree which one of us does the updating? I keep getting patches rejected as I'm fixing the data in John Holter. Webhat 06:08, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)

Thanks, I've merged all the changes that you and I made. Now I'm going to bed. Have fun!!! Webhat 06:19, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)
Nobody stepped on anybodies toes. We both wanted it to be right, and that just caused us both problems. As soon as you'd changed something, I changed it back, and visa versa. I've had this at work with the CVS many times, somebody just has to explain that there is a problem updating, otherwise it just gets worse. See you in the wiki! - Webhat 06:37, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)

Salsa Shark 4 admin! I've nominated you over at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship :) If you want to accept, you can go over and accept after some people have commented (but you don't have to accept if you don't want to)... Good work :) Dysprosia 06:42, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I do not appreciate people calling my work COV, when it is clearly not. The text come from PUBLIC DOMAINS. When I say it does, that is what I mean. There is no conversation to it. Just look for yourself, it has the link!-- ChrisDJackson

What you 'appreciate' is completely irrelevant: Wikipedia has procedures, and you will follow them or you will not edit here. As stated in the copyvio boilerplate, make your edits on the listed temp page or not at all. Salsa Shark 05:32, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)

(Re: People from Missouri) re: Least Heat Moon -- great inclusion :) Kyk 05:35, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

PS: It may not be as high-falutin' eddicated as reading historical articles, but sure it is fun to look at lists of people born in places, so that is why I was adding some :) Kyk 06:04, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
