FYI, I commented on the (c) status of the Abu Ghraib photos here. – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 12:05, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the "©" tip! But unfortunately it doesn't work in Opera, the browser I use. Digging around, I discovered I can use © for the same thing though. Thanks, – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 16:44, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

Because this discussion was wholly silly and took up way too much space, I have removed it. You can view it in it's entirety in this version from the page history. blankfaze | (беседа!) 05:18, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the inspiration. I've put Neutrality and Jayjg on my watchlist. --- Xed 11:44, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Xed, Neutrality is a GREAT user. I trust him very much. I strongly disagree with you weariness of him. It's unwarranted, my friend. blankfaze | (беседа!) 15:32, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The watchlist seems to have created a stir. The response has certainly highlighted the undesirability of Jayjg's adminship. Time will tell on Neutrality ---Xed 20:49, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Haha, I guess so. blankfaze | (беседа!) 20:51, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. I will do my best to serve Wikipedia. --Slowking Man 00:04, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

• No problem, I have faith in you. blankfaze | (беседа!) 00:43, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Blankfaze, I noticed that you changed two words in the corset article. Favor to favour (but you spelled it wrong, as favuor) and um, one other word ending in "or" that you ended as "our".

You are going to get a LOT of resistance if you cruise Wikipedia looking for American spelling to correct to English usage. I don't care much, as I'm bilingual (Leftpondian and Rightpondian) but I do not like having my spelling "corrected" by those who do not understand that there are systematic differences between US and UK usages and that both are RIGHT.

• :-P, first of all. Secondly, I'm going to have to disagree with your statement 'Changing American to English spelling is not a "correction"'... British English is the proper form of the language, and in my opinion, should be used in all articles not explicitly about an American topic. Thirdly, do not assume that I "do not understand that there are systematic differences between US and UK usages and that both are RIGHT"; I understand very much that there are systematic differences between US and UK usages and that American English is RIGHT, when in regards to American topics. Elsewhere, American English is a corruption of proper English. Thanks, though, for being civil about this :-). blankfaze | (беседа!) 03:34, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Bah. English, in whatever dialect, is the wrong form of PIE. We should change everything over to Avestan! :-) —No-One Jones ^(m) 03:44, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

LMAO. blankfaze | (беседа!) 03:45, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Sheesh! Out of your own mouth! Fine, I'll change the spelling back to the American version. I'll be gracious when courtesy is displayed, but I'm certainly not going to grovel to British imperialism. Zora 05:05, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC) (obstreperous former colonial)

• Well, do as you please, but it might get dirty! Also, please note the notice at the top of this page: "Also, no horizontal rules allowed! Ever!" blankfaze | (беседа!) 05:13, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I may agree with your assessment about Israel, but there is enough arguing about Israel to fill several telephone directories on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a person by person account of the casualties in Israel/Palestine - there isn't one for the Congo. Xed 23:44, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• I don't particularly understand your comment. blankfaze | (беседа!) 23:48, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • I'm talking about your comment on WP:Bias. Xed 23:56, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I know THAT, but what are you trying to say, just that you agree with it? What's the Congo thing about? blankfaze | (беседа!) 23:57, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
      • I'm saying there is already enough on Israel/Palestine, including a person by person account of the casualties, yet there is no such detailed account of Congo Civil War. The latter is the sort of thing that WP:Bias is targeting. Xed 00:01, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
        • Ah, well, I know, I know. But I'm not really interested in the Congo, nor do I know anything at all about it. Thanks, though. blankfaze | (беседа!) 00:03, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
