I've been getting into some discussion with an anonymous user on both of these articles, and would appreciate some involvement from other editors. If you'd care to help, do check out the Talk pages for both. Thanks. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 07:47, 29 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hey Fvw. When you get the chance, can you look over my query at User_talk:Evilphoenix#User:Scottfisher and see if you have anything to add? Thanks. -- SCZenz 01:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Huh?

I have edited one Wikipedia page, that on Convergent Technologies, to add and I hope clarify. Although I see at least one error at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_Technologies_(Unisys), I see no vandalism.

I'll add the error to my list of things to do.

Further, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=66.212.6.76&offset=0&limit=20 shows but one use of that address to edit Wikipedia, the CT page mentioned above.

So, in addition to "Huh?", I formally move to add a resounding "WTF?" and request an explanation.

Yours,

Me.

"Me", you're this IP number, and you added the comment above in this edit. That IP number had previously been used for a single edit, as you say. The edit was not to an article on Convergent Technologies, it was to the article on George W. Bush. This is the edit in question, changing "its kinsman Osama bin Laden" to "its kinsman Osama bin Ladenand his gay lover". I hope you are satisfied by this explanation. -- Hoary 06:46, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hoary-

Thnak you for your reply. I understand your reply as given, but am unable to reconcile my discovery of but one edit from the address in question (mine, of the Convergent Technologies page) and your discovery of again, a single edit, but of an unrelated page. Was there a lag of some sort I wonder, that is, at the time I queried, had the second edit (the vandalisim) occurred but not yet been added to the page that showed me (well, the address) making an edit to the CT page? Which still wouldn't explain why you find that "The edit was not to an article on Convergent Technologies". When I asked for the history, Wikipedia did point me at the Convergent page as my only edit. Unless Wikipedia accomplished that via a local cookie instead of IP address? Still looking for the CFT to correct the CT page, but it's on my list.

Thank you,

Me.

Hi, Fvw (talk · contribs), it seems that User:Fvw/POPBot/archive/http-proxy-scan-2005-09-30 has been edited by at least one suspected Bogdandov sock, namely 83.16.112.250 (talk · contribs). I can't figure out what this page is all about; can you enlighten me? TIA---CH 21:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Heya, sorry for the late reply, I'm not an active wikipedia editor any more. The reason that page was edited from that IP was that I used to run an open proxy scanner for wikipedia. Like many problematic sock-puppeteers, Bogdanov used open proxies, one of which was founds by my open proxy scanner. If you encounter further bad behaviour from that IP, the best course of action is probably to block as an open proxy or request and admin to do so. Happy editing! --fvw* 05:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi. We appreciate your effort to add things to wikipedia, however wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, there are certain guidelines that must be heeded. For starters, have a look at WP:NOT, which should give you a decent impression of what we're trying to do. If you spend a little time reading up on what is and isn't acceptable here you'll find we're not all that mean after all. Let me know if you have any questions. --fvw* 23:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Rcpat.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

Hi. Your signature seems to constantly confuse my XML Parser when I parse Wikipedia pages. What is the significance of

&#0xfeff;

and how should it be parsed? Thanks. Pkalmar (talk) 20:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

How strange, my signature is one of the top google hits for &#0xfeff; yet I don't recall ever having had anything like that in my signature. Unicode character 0xfeff is the zero width space, often also used as a byte order mark. To get it to be a proper entity would require getting rid of the leading 0 of the number though. Perhaps it's an artifact of the conversion of en.wikipedia to utf-8? Not sure what made it choose to single out my sig for this treatment though. You could try asking at the helpdesk if anyone knows anything about this. Good luck! --fvw* 10:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Allow me to kibitz. FEFF in hex is equivalent to 65279 in decimal;  is indeed the zero width space; but if you prefer to use hex it's  (with no zero or other character interrupting the opening sequence &#x). (See this page and other stuff on that man's site.) But I've a hunch that even if this is fixed and the result satisfies XML parsers, it may well confuse some HTML browsers. -- Hoary (talk) 14:01, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey, Why did you delete my post? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weliam.kc (talk • contribs)

Hi, I deleted the post because there was no context here, it was impossible to tell what the article was actually about (see WP:Csd). Note that resubmitting the article in a fleshed out form with sufficient background information will not guarantee that it is kept, but it will at least give it a chance of being evaluated on whether the subject is worth including. Good luck! --fvw* 03:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

The IP address pretty much had it right. Go to Google and enter "bugs bunny" coin 1987, and you'll see one for sale on eBay, for example. However, I would say it's just a souvenir of some kind, so I don't see where it warrants special mention in the article, as there have been countless Bugs icons through the years (and I should know, Doc). Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 04:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yup, I had the same feeling you did, I was hoping any sources on the subject that came back would include some information on significance or lack thereof. I was also a bit curious which constitution it referred to. For most national constitutions I'd say it would be a bit of an insult to commemorate them with a bugs bunny coin, love the wabbit though I may. Oh well... --fvw* 04:55, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

The eBay thing only said something about it being a Christmas medalion: [1]. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 04:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I take it back. Merry Christmas refers to this year. It actually does say something on the card about it being a constitutional commemorative. It still doesn't belong, though. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 04:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

1987 was the 200th anniversary of the United States Constitution. I'm sure there were many other commemoratives. Or maybe not. Now, the Bicentennial Quarter of 1976 would be another story. But that was an actual U.S. Coin that countless people put their hands on. Plus it actually pertained. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 05:01, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

GCGC article was created as an inside joke between a friend and I several years ago. It has no usage anywhere in India, and was only spoken once in the movie. In initial versions of the article, we included our names in the joke article, only to stumble upon it again years later and realizing people actually took it seriously. It's a joke, you can delete it! azimsultan (talk) 06:55, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I believe you deleted my article for The Black Doves band. Although I disagree with your opposition to the validity of the article, my purpose is to request a copy of the deleted article. thanks, Steve Wilson
