Right now I'm going thru an odd time. But, logging on and seeing the 1APR RFA made me laugh, and I needed it. Thank you for your sense of humor, sometimes we can use that. :) Regards, NonvocalScream (talk) 13:58, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know you have a penchant for humor, but there's a fine line between being humorous and merely being a pest. You're inching perilously close to that line. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 21:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What humor? I'm quite serious. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 21:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kmweber. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Tiptoety ^talk 21:38, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is correct. I have started the ANI thread Tiptoety mentioned. Sorry for not notifying you immediately, that was my bad. Nsk92 (talk) 22:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it. It really wasn't necessary, since Tiptoety already let me know, but thanks! Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 22:08, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Natural to ask ;-) The bot operator contacted me asking if I could revert a series of edits by the bot, as there appears to be some kind of problems. I must admit I haven't investigate further. Better to ask Compwhizii himself ;-) Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 23:32, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your wise words. Gwynand | Talk/Contribs 11:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry -- my name certainly is a shortening of "Gail Wynand" from The Fountainhead. You're quote certainly seemed Rand-ian, although I didn't recognize it immediately (haven't actually read that novel in ages). Who says this in the novel? Wynand? Gwynand | Talk/Contribs 11:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed your vote here, which seems to boil down to "if it is verifiable and excists, we should have an article about it". I have been thinking on things related to the issue, and I'd like to hear your opinion on the following: In the area of Alkmaar, the town I live in, every week about 20 soccer matches are played in the amateur competitions. The outcomes of those matches are all published in several newspapers, 2 or 3 each, of which one "real" one, and 1 or 2 sunday only mainly adds, free door to door newspapers. I was wondering what your opinion on those matches is. Do you think we should have articles on those matches? Cheers, Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 20:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 22:10, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, of course is a bit of a strech here, I think most wikipedias would disagree with you there (and though I haven't found my exact stance on in/exlusionism yet, I also believe we should not have those articles), but thank you for your opinion! Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 22:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome go ahead across the bridge, because as I said on the talk page, I couldn't find the find the cord to the digital camera.

Hi. With all due respect, this is very much a clear-cut A1 with "little or no context." This doesn't even qualify as a valid stub IMO. Thanks.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion is inherently wrong. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether it "qualifies" or not. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 20:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Erm... Usually, people use "Therefore" if they're making a conclusion that is supported and based on facts. The statement "Speedy deletion is inherently wrong" is subjective and is not supported by these things known as facts. Thanks. 81.105.28.52 (talk) 08:39, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm asking you nicely, Please do not start an edit war over welcome templates. In case you are afraid I'm singling you out I'm placing the exact same message on 87.112.5.130's page. Thank you. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an edit war. The IP is a known sock of banned user Fredrick day. This particular IP address has already been blocked. His placing of a welcome template himself was fine; his removing my own was not, and so what I am doing is perfectly legitimate. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 14:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree that him removing your template was inappropriate. My concern is that by simply reverting his edit it looks like the beginnings of an "edit war" (please forgive me if there is a policy addressing that which I'm unaware of). I've seen most of the discussion going on at AN or ANI and although I may not agree with some of your opinions but, I'm fully behind you expressing them and welcoming new users is always a good thing in my eyes. Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mark, I was enjoying reading the boxes on your user page and noticed a conflict - sorry, I am a former copy editor. One box is against the singular they (I agree with you on that) - but another box says the user would choose "their (versus 'his') employess over a one-night stand." Good user page.Kek15 (talk) 15:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have me confused with another editor. My name is not "Mark." Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 15:38, 25 April 2008

I'm sorry Kurt, but I did mean you and your user page. My apologies for getting your name wrong. Kek15 (talk) 13:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I saw your user name at the following thread:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Keeper76&diff=prev&oldid=208142214 I took exception with the way Keeper76 addressed you and also his promise to quash your free speech - just because he didn't agree. In the end, he deleted the thread from his talk page.Kek15 (talk) 13:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although I acknowledge a bit of gray area, I mostly disagree. If you look at common usage in respected publications, you are far more likely to see plural used. Each of them was a Beatle, and collectively it simply sounds better to a native English speaker to say that The Beatles are performing rather than The Beatles is performing. The vast majority of English grammarians would agree with that statement. Ward3001 (talk) 17:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, British bands are referred to as "are" instead of "is". This is trodden ground. "The Rolling Stones are", "the Beatles are", and "Oasis are" all British bands. "Foo Fighters is", "Metallica is", and "Kiss is". Get the gist of it now? British grammar treats bands plurally. Hope this clears up any confusion you might have, Kurt. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 17:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then the British are wrong, aren't they? I see no need to perpetuate wrong grammar. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 17:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, good one. Your sense of humour is immense. Consensus states it on Wikipedia. You will be reverted by numerous different editors if you attempt to change British bands from "are" to "is". Additionally, there is no such thing as "incorrect" grammar. I believe it's called "standard" and "non-standard". Thanks! Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 17:43, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How dare those nasty Brits, trying to change American English! Don't they know that English started ... uh oh ... never mind. Ward3001 (talk) 18:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 02:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
