[edit] Inappropriate tone for List of Mario Party 3 minigames

Are you sure this tag was necessary? Bowsy ^{(review me!)} 19:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Definitely. Example: "Race through a tunnel, hitting boosters and avoiding electric fields." It should say "The players race through a tunnel, hitting boosters and avoiding electric fields." Same with everything else. –Llama man^talk_contribs 21:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What the deuce??

Malcolm? No, no...that simply won't do...it's entirely inappropriate, and doesn't fit as well as the Llama moniker. At least, that's what I think...your mileage may vary, I suppose. Gene S. Poole 03:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Uh...no comment. — Malcolm^{May the schwartz be with you!} 18:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good change

Well it seems you did change your name, goodbye to those Llamas. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 21:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah...*sniff* I miss them...but they betrayed me! (I think) — Malcolm^{May the schwartz be with you!} 21:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, it seems you've seen Spaceballs. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 22:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, a couple weeks ago. Awesome movie. — Malcolm^{May the schwartz be with you!} 22:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-protection of Lon Chaney, Sr.

While you were declining the protection for Lon Chaney, Sr., I was semi-protecting the article. It is not true that there has only been one instance of vandalism in the past week, but I do realize that the article has not been the victim of rampant vandalism. The reason I semi-protected the article despite the low numbers of vandalism was the amount of time that vandalism would stay on the article. Browsing through the article's history, you will find vandalism lasting often times for more than half an hour (vandalism, on average, should be reverted in less than five minutes) and as long as nearly six hours. That's just too long. -- tariqabjotu 21:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Ugh, I need to look at IPs more carefully; I thought that all the 86.1xx.xxx.xxx IPs were the same. Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for protecting the article. — Malcolm^{Use the schwartz!} 22:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Tariqabjotu and Malcolm. As this was my first foray onto the request for protection page I just wanted to make sure that I did not do anything out of line. As Tariqabjotu pointed out there have been five acts of vandalism in the last three days and this is what prompted my request. I do appreciate Malcolm's note that I wasn't violating the three revert rule. It seems that I may be one of a few (or the only editor) that has this actors page on a watchlist, thus the time delay on getting any vandalism reverted so I appreciate the semiprotect status that it now enjoys. Perhaps in a couple of months this person will have moved on and it can be taken off. Again, please feel free to let me know if I have violated any policy and thank you for your time.

[edit] Revived discussion concerning fair use in portals

I am contacting everyone who participated in the discussion that became inactive in December. Due to the length of the previous discussion, I have proposed a new amendment and you like you to weigh in so that we may actually have a consensus on this matter as it doesn't seem there exists one either way. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria
