[edit] Fox News Channel logo

I wanted to ask, where exactly did you find this version of the FNC logo? Chris (Talk) (Contribs) 01:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Alright, just wanted to ask since the "C" is not usually capitalized in their copied of the logo Chris (Talk) (Contribs) 01:39, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Letterman

• What vandalism? David Letterman is indeed an American liberal. It's evident to anyone who has ever watched his show. There is nothing at all incorrect about the categorization. -- HowardDean 10:41, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Podcasting

I've noticed that you are a podcaster. Well, recently I've proposed a Wikiproject for podcasting. If you're interested go to the proposal page and list yourself under 'Interested Users'. Thanks, and hope to talk with you again soon. Ganfon 19:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

Interested in why you felt it necessary to revert my edit on Keith's bio. He's not a "news anchor." He's a commentator and a sportscaster, but not a news anchor. What was the problem with removing it from his description? K. Scott Bailey 10:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What the fuck is your problem?

I just got through a similar content dispute with another fuckwit that stared deleting valid, substantiated content from Toni Pearen. Okay, let's hear it. What's your golden reason for this blatant error? 203.59.51.234 11:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MyWay

It appears that MyWay is conducting a public relations campaign to rid Wikipedia of references to MyWay being spyware. Every time me and other editors provide accurate research on MyWay, we are told by Bercyon simply that our research is wrong, even though it is heavily cited. The account kirk_lawrence appears more reasonable, but both of their strategies center around casting doubt over whether MyWay is spyware (it's actually a lot like how creationists attempt to cast doubt over whether there's scientific consensus over evolution, but that's a different issue for a different day). Today, Bercyon has shifted his strategy to more personal attacks, while Kirk_lawrence is appearing more reasonable. I have yet to fully analyze why Kirk shifted his strategy, but my hypothesis that he thinks that by appearing more trusting and legitimate he can convince me and the other editors that MyWay isn't spyware. Me and Alan Rockefeller are keeping an eye on the MyWay pages. Can you aid us and notify an admin of the situation? If you want more evidence, look at their contributions and the talk pages/histories of the MyWay pages. In fact, Kirk_lawrence's user page used to be completely dedicated to MyWay.

Mike / Steve. I'm quite a novice when it comes to Wiki, but I'm learning fast. My motives are the protection of my user base who gets upset when they hear that the software/site that they use, is being called "Spyware". In my role as head of Customer Support here for IAC Search and Media's web properties, I get to hear their displeasure first hand. "Spyware" is a very strong and damaging accusation amd certainly one we absolutely contest. I have every intention of resolving this amicably -- but it's not something that going to be done on Wiki pages. Is there such a thing as a dispute resolution process for Wiki? My requests for Steve to get in touch have not been successful to date. Please email me the response. Thanks.

[edit] Notice

Your recent edit to Foxtel was reverted. At no time in the Fox Business Channel article does it say anything about its appearance on Foxtel. Please realise that just because Foxtel's parent company is making a new channel in the US, it does not necessarily mean that it will be available on Foxtel in Australia.

Please do not add information to articles without a (reliable) source.

Hey, Found a better source [1] and that does say it is coming to Foxtel. - Mike Beckham 05:34, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response

"but its maybe not the best idea to take that tone to long term editors who have been here a tad longer than yourself."

I take the same tone to any editor, from new IP editor, to long term editors that do not quote their sources when editing an encyclopedia. Perhaps you should not take that tone... you have only been here 5 months longer than I have, and although you have spent much more of your time editing, it does not place you at a higher rank, or excuse you from warnings :)

Please remember to quote your sources when adding new information to articles, otherwise you will be asked for them again.

Good day.
