Disambiguation link notification for November 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cumberland County, Maine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page King George II (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you

Thank you for updating the Maine House of Representatives template! I had begun working on it and then got distracted. Thanks for your hard work!--TM 11:44, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that. Makes me wish the Legislature was a little smaller like some wanted the last session. :) Did the information seem correct(I might have missed a political party here or there or misspelled a name)? 331dot (talk) 12:24, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed

[1] My bad...there was an edit conflict and I didn't think to look in a completely different section for the conflict. Sorry about that. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 16:00, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I too would like to apologize; my message was too harsh. No hard feelings. 331dot (talk) 16:01, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

injury, death, and destruction box

I didn't want to derail your valid point by commenting, but that's hilarious. The RFC for the main page redesign is coming up, maybe we can get together and do an IDDB proposal to balance the right hand column, after TAFI is added to the left. --IP98 (talk) 03:12, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad it was appreciated. Aside from RFC you'll need to fill me in on the meaning of the acronyms, though. 331dot (talk) 03:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry. TAFI is "Todays Article for Improvement". There was a notice posted to WT:ITN because it's being scheduled for inclusion. IBBDR is "Injury Death and Destruction Box", which I think we could slot in under ITN and be a catch-all for those items. --IP98 (talk) 12:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I still feel somewhat new here and am probably not totally familiar with everything; but if you are going to propose something like what I think you are I would be willing to be involved, even if only to provide support. 331dot (talk) 22:18, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Barbados election

Trust me, just ignore it. You'll get frustrated over nothing. You'll not get the last word, and your point will not be conceded. Just ask a different admin like Tariq or Spencer to collapse the discussion, and walk away. It's totally not worth it.

PS: I'm glad you're at ITN. You work on updating articles, your comments are logical and considered, and you're really polite. Even if we don't always agree on things.

Cheers --IP98 (talk) 21:34, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just done, but I appreciate you suggesting it. I actually value not agreeing with everyone; if we all agreed on everything, I think Wikipedia would be finished by now and things would be pretty boring. I also appreciate your kind words about me- that's what I go for. I'm not sure I always succeed, but it is my goal. 331dot (talk) 21:40, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Into Darkness

Let's discuss the matter in article discussion; more people are going to want in on that conversation. :) - Jack Sebastian (talk) 00:33, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And the same to you, more or less

That was just bizarre and completely unnecessary. The sources were there to show the extent of the nomination. So I'll adapt what you said to me. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. If you have issues with what gets nominated at ITN, participate in the discussion of the subjects that are nominated. Do not delete them. AGF. HUMAN. Oh, and read NOTPOINTy. It's people like you, who misquote and distort policies and guidelines, that I've had far too much of. Talk about needing a thick skin to edit. --86.40.105.31 (talk) 15:20, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Go fuck yourself

Millions of people wanted to see it and you spoiled it for them. You fuck off.
