Hi Longhair. I have started a proposal at Portal talk:Australia for an inclusion of an anniversary/on this day section to be displayed on the portal. If you are interested in this making this happen, you can comment there or go to the anniversary pages and adding in things that you consider to be notable events. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 04:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
User talk:JackLumber ( | user page | history | links | watch | logs)
JackLumber (Contribs) continues to bully/harrass me, calling my knowlege "faulty" and even making and unauthoused edit by striking something out in a comment of mine and calling it "blasphemy." I think Jack needs to be blocked. Myrtone@Longhair.com.au:-(
PS some of the dialogue can also be found on my talkpage
Thank yoy for welcome

Sources/Info/Need more help :)
- You helped me out with the Sam Soliman page/pic and now I have another question. Or favor to ask. In the Jonestown article am I wrong to expect more sources than what I see there? I see all properly documented sources for all the supposed "conspiracy" information, but it seems that the widely accepted "mainstream media" information goes un-sourced. What is the standard wiki-practice for this? If it's supposed to be NPOV, shouldn't that apply to both conspiracy nut and mainstream lemming? And is there more specific help already documented for issues like this crap? I enjoy the wiki...but it seems a bit tough for a n00b to get his handle on things...which is why I came back here...to the first person to give me some help :P
- But how much is too much to expect for sources in an article as controversial as the Jonestown mystery? I just don't like seeing a medium such as Wikipedia end up towing the company line for histroical events mired in mis-information such as this because a few people have the right style. Anyways, thank you for that help, I'm going to stick it in a few blatant spots on there but I know it treads a line between sourcing and over-sourcing that must annoy a certain percentage of people on here.
- Thanks a trundle.
- Picked up on the colons for the discussions. Err. Whatever the two dots are if they're not colons. :) Anyways, Jonestown, to me, represents the most horrific, frightening bit of inhumanity one human can exert. Since we're all humans, I think the fright should apply to all of us. I doubt we'll ever know what happened, but I know it scares the shit out of me and even more so how passively people overlook it.
- You've been a huge help with everything. I'd mail you a bundt cake if it weren't so far.

Need your pedantry/technical expertise
Hi,
I just created a new article at insult comic. Could you give it the Longhair treatment in terms of categorization and cleanup please? - Richardcavell 03:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Another one
I've started Ricky May. You're better at category/stub sorting than me. Would you mind? - Richardcavell 04:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm also surprised that Ricky May didn't have an article, so I constructed one based on my own memory and a web reference that I found. He died back in 1988 (which makes me feel very old, since I remember him on Hey Hey), and I guess he was not current when the Internet became a record of goings on, as it is now. - Richardcavell 04:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Yet another one
I'm on a roll. Kenja, please. - Richardcavell 05:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your hard work

Perth Concert Hall
Hi there. You recently added a template for pictures to be added to the Perth Concert Hall article. I added an image to this page the other day, and seeing as the article is only small, maybe one is enough for now? Thanks, --Ali K 02:52, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

User EurowikiJ keeps removing warnings and ignores them
Hi. Could you please help - User:EurowikiJ keeps removing warnings from his talk page. He was warned several times not to blank sourced sections, but he neither wants to discuss it and ignores policy warnings. Now he even removes warnings from his talk page. Could you please help?

I'm mystified, I thought Richard was an actor and director, this stuff about film - where does this come from? With respect, he's an author and shakespearian to boot, but film? SatuSuro 08:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I just got your welcome message on my talk page. I just want to check whether this was a routine (but warm) hello, or a (tactful) hint that I hadn't read all the guides well enough?

Ambroise Voillard
Could you please fix the issue with Ambrose Vollard? A user short-circuted the move process, and the traceability of the document is lost... --Folajimi 23:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- The original document was Ambrose Vollard; its contents was moved via a copy-and-paste job to Ambroise Vollard today. --Folajimi 23:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Is it possible to delete Ambroise Vollard, then — via a move operation — shift Ambrose Vollard to Ambroise Vollard? The idea is to retain the history of the document, which was originally located at Ambrose Vollard... --Folajimi 00:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

George Wallace from Judytan
Hi Longhair, My article is about GEORGE WALLACE not a Gordon Wallace, but thanks for pasting my info back to me. How do I now post it on Wikipedia properly? This is my second article and I had no problem with the first one so I dont know what I was thinking with this one. I need the article to go under headings such as Australian People, subs, Australian comedians etc but how to do this from here? Can you help me with this please> Yours in dumbness Judy Tanner — Preceding unsigned comment added by Judytan (talk • contribs)
From Da almighty bunghole (logged out)
thank you for notifying me that my username was innapropriate. i will make arangements to change it as soon as possible.
George Wallace Australian Comedian
Thankyou for helping me with this article Longhair. Can I also ask you about another article I wrote on Australian cartoonist Les Tanner. I noticed when I went back to it today that it looks as though it needs some editing where I mention that Les Tanner won a life time achievement award for services to the arts in 1999. Finally I want to add a few more articles and would like directions on how to create a page Thanks again Judy Tanner
Pat Frank
I thought I'd point out that Pat Frank is not a user page. Thus, your post to Talk:Pat Frank is, well, inappropriate, I guess (though not in the meaning of "offensive"). Just a heads up. --OneSeventeen 03:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me make a really fancy-schmancy sig while you're at it! --Folajimi 22:36, 3 June 2006 (UTC) <- I remembered this time! :P

Frank Costa
Did you know that he was involved in a brouhaha earlier this year? It apparently involved political contributions which were under the table. --Folajimi 00:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

- Is it just me, or is this page broken? This site has some great stories; too bad I can only view them via the cache provided by Google...

I think it's fair to say that this entry has exceeded stub status, don't you think? --Folajimi 02:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Opinion
Hello Longhair. Can I have an opinion at WP:ANI regarding a proclamation of sockpuppetry en masse? Thanks. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 07:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's under the "What do you suggest I do" heading in my talk. PS2pcGAMER, another admin has forum access and verified the authenticity. Later in the thread there is an admission as to the WP identity of forum user "Fenriswolf". Ambi thinks indef pending review, incidentally.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 07:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for having a look. I talked to Raul about it on email in vague terms, and he said that arbcom takes a "dim view" of such announcements. Later in the thread, "Fenriswolf" is confronted about the editlist of User:PatCheng stalking and editwarring and "Fenriswolf" doesn't deny he is the PatCheng who is battling against the other user.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 08:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- So I shouldn't block? the arbcom would take a very dim view of anyone who made such statements.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 08:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- "Fenriswolf" is the username of the proclaimed sockpuppeteer on GameFAQs. He is later confronted down the thread as to whether he edits as PatCheng and he agrees with battling on WP.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 08:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Here is the additional extract provided by PS2pcGAMER. "Fenriswolf" seems rather proud when confronted about whether he is PatCheng. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 08:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
YINever | Posted 6/5/2006 6:32:41 PM | message detail Oh as for what this is about, Fenriswolf took up stalking me at Wikipedia late last year and has stuck to it up to the minute.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/PatCheng
His contribution history is a complete shadow of mine whenever I am active. It mostly consists of watering down information critical of communists and adding polemics to those which reflect poorly on China.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Military_budget_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China&diff=prev&oldid=57098949 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_Bernard_Shaw&diff=prev&oldid=57098277
As for why, I don't really try to guess the pathologies of online stalkers, but he seems to have imagined some comment of mine about his fascist father. Poor guy.

So you're admitting it huh?
- I am PatCheng and I beg to differ. Looking at Fenriswolf's profile, his account was created in 11/3/2002 5:39:52 PM, whereas I did not come across Gamefaqs until early 2005. IIRC, this "fascist" claim derives from a bad flame-war on the War on Terror board, where a China-related topic degenerated into a flame war between TJive and several pro-Chinese users. When merits of China in WWII was bought up, someone said that said that many of them has grandfathers who fought the Japanese, TJive claimed some along the lines "China fought fascism, only to become a fascist country". I naturally take offence at this comment as soon as I have heard it. I don't know about the claims of Fenriswolf, but I only have one computer, and do not the time or resources of "100's of IPs" to evade 3RR.--PatCheng 13:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello Longhair, what are you thinking? Snottygobble also appears unimpressed. "Fenriswolf" now claims to have hacked into User:PatCheng and also RevolverOcelotX, who have been team-reverting many articles. I think that the two accounts are severely compromised to say the least. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Blnguyen, your accusations are false and not true. Your accusations of me being a sockpuppet of PatCheng has been has been proven false by this CheckUser. Check my contributions, I haven't been team-reverting any articles ever since I was blocked for 3RR on Mao: The Unknown Story. --RevolverOcelotX 03:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- I did say have been, didn't I?Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Could you delete a redirect page which is now at Gediminas because that place is needed for the article of that ruler. His successors and predecessors are under their simple first names, therefore this one hops to the eye when looking at. Lists, categories, so forth. This is to better achieve consistency. I moved the earlier (edit-history-containing) page to another location, and now the page at the desired spot is a simple historyless redirect. Maed 21:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
More categorization
Cringe humor, please. I'm actually thinking of making more topics like this and linking them somehow, through a category. - Richardcavell 03:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
