[edit] TRM18

Hello, This is TRM18 and I am working on the Watertown, SD page. I am a student for Northern State University and this page is my assignment for the final. I am only trying to help the page and I would hope that if you have any concerns regarding this page that you email me (trmischke@wolves.northern.edu) telling me what you feel is needed. Thank you!

I am deleting the information and then within the next couple of days I am redoing the pages. I feel that I can do this because I have created the pages. Thank you for your concern, TRM18TRM18

OK, seriously, what is your problem?! Are you so insecure that you need to go around and delete everyone else's information just to make yourself feel better? Wow, that's really pathetic. What my fellow classmates have posted is excellent, factual information that I believe benefits the pages. I am sorry if I am being a little harsh, but someone should go out and play a little game of "hide-and-go fuck yourself". --Halo2 Gamer 17:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

It's an uphill battle keeping the Aberdeen page encyclopedic. I'm beginning to wonder if we need to request semi-protection for it. ObtuseAngle 21:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

• Just protecting it from the NSU students and their IP address would propably do it. They have claimed that they have to do this for a class, so theat will be the only real way to stop them. Spiesr 21:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

• The request for protection died due to no response. Spiesr 15:52, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Very grateful for all your work

The Exceptional Newcomer award is designed to go to those newcomers whose work has been, you guessed it, exceptional. You've been doing an extraordinary amount of work on the South Dakota articles lately. I know that there has been some controversy regarding it, but from what I've seen what you've been doing is upholding the standards and guidelines of wikipedia, which is a good thing. Thanks for all the work, and I do mean all the work. The project wouldn't be working at all without your extraordinary effort. Badbilltucker 16:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Using the "Username" templates

It's best to "subst:" the username templates:

{{subst:UsernameConcern|reason for objection}}

{{subst:UsernameDiscussion}}

{{subst:UsernameAllowed}}

Typing something into that "reason for objection" space tells the user just what you find worrisome about the name, like "Bitches" is considered a rude and insulting word, definitely not a good thing in usernames.

I have now taken the liberty to re-edit User talk:Duesh is back bitches to add the "subst:" but did not add a reason.

One advantage of "subst:" is that when that user edits the page to reply, the full text of your message (not just the template tag) will be visible in edit mode, so he can reply point by point if he likes.

Also note that the template will add the four-tildes signature for you, so you needn't add it yourself. This is explained on the template's page. -- Ben 08:35, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] South Dakota Counties

Hello.

Thank you for adding infoboxes to South Dakota's counties, but please use the latest {{Infobox U.S. County}} infobox. The infobox you're adding has, among other things, unneeded "map" and "map size" variables. Additionally, the newer template is much easier to use: just copy/paste from {{Infobox U.S. County}}.

Thanks again for your work. /Timneu22 00:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bite the hand that helps you!

The Nobel prize theft is real story, buy a newspaper to see it or visit the web: http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2007/03/07_nobel.shtml

You are rude to delete good information I added, this is typical arrogant american behaviour. This is why we europeans want the gun-slinging yankee to go home, because you have no respect like citizens should have among each other. It is a shame and destroys wikipedia. 82.131.210.162 10:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
