[edit] Johnny Carson image vandalism

might it be a good idea to delete that vandalised picture? Doesn't seem respectful, and all that. Or is it important to keep it in while the vandalism is in progress? Phaunt 00:37, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm actually not sure about policy on deleting image revisions. Past vandalism of text pages does remain in the history, so I'm erring to the side of caution here. --fvw* 00:44, 2005 Jan 24 (UTC)
Maybe follow this procedure? I can't do it, since the page is protected. Don't intend to bug you - I'm a wikipedia newbie, really... Phaunt 00:53, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
That doesn't really apply, that's just for deleting entire images, not just separate revisions. The vandalised revision wasn't used in the creation of the current one, so I guess it can be deleted though, so on second thought I have. Thanks for flagging the matter on ViP! --fvw* 00:57, 2005 Jan 24 (UTC)
Try reloading the page, you probably still have an old version. --fvw* 01:07, 2005 Jan 24 (UTC)

[edit] Né

If you look the great majority of Pope articles use né sometimes people change them because they believe that it is not English. If there was some concensus and reworking of articles to change them all I guess I wouldn't have a problem... but I don't think we should swap synonyms just because we can. gren 07:22, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Monty Hall praise

Thank you very much. I didn't really do that much; the article was very good and quite complete when I found it. I pretty much just responded to the comments at WP:FAC. Like most things here, it was a collaboration. If you're in a praising sort of mood, you might add a general "to everyone who worked on it" note on the article's talk page (completely up to you). -- Rick Block (talk) 01:50, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nog steeds geblokkeerd: hoe kan dat?

"Oscar" blokkeerde me vanmorgen voor een periode van 12 uur (lees tot 14:42 uur), maar nu heeft hij me, zonder dat ik ooit nog iets heb kunnen doen, verder geblokkeerd, terwijl ik niets meer heb ik kunnen doen op de site ondertussen: dat is toch volstrekt tegen de regels, of niet dan soms? Op 8 sep 2005 12:48 (vervalt op 9 sep 2005 12:48) blokkeerde Oscar:

[edit] Ping

I have replied to you on my talk page. Feel free to remove this note after you have read it. --Gmaxwell 09:55, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Van Eck phreaking

I noticed an edit of yous on Van Eck phreaking, and I was wondering if you could help me with something. I know Wij vertrouwen stemcomputers niet has their report on the Nedap/Groenendaal ES3B voting systems and it includes being able to record spurious emissions (like in the video), but there has been talk of of problems with the SDu NewVote voting machines. Do you have any information on the possible problems with the SDu NewVote voting machines (preferably in English)? Thanks, -- Electiontechnology 17:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I've taken a look at their website, but all available information seems to be in Dutch: [1]. You could ask the people at wijvertrouwenstemcomputersniet if they can summarise the information for you in English. Oliphaunt 18:41, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks anyway. This sort of information would be very useful in the US, and there is so little translated into English on the topic. The US is currently writing voting system standards which hopefully will become known as an international standard on the subject, and it would really be great if they had some more information on some of the international examples of voting technology (particularly in the Netherlands). If you happen to come across any information in the future, please send it along. -- Electiontechnology 20:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] British vs. English POV

On the article where I made the correction, it was originally fiber, and someone changed it to fibre, so I changed it back. So technically, they violated the rules, not me. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by C++ Template (talk • contribs) 14:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC).
