My Rfa

Thanks for voting in my Rfa, which I withdrew from yesterday. Though I did not get promoted, I see this Rfa as being a success nonetheless. What I got out of this Rfa will help me to be a better, all around editor. Because of this Rfa I have decided to become better in other areas of editing. I'm not going to just be a vandalfighter. Though vandalfighting is good, being active in all areas of editing is even better. Have a nice day.--SJP 22:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfA

Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Although the voting ended at 36/22/5, there was no consensus to promote, and the RfA was unsuccessful. I would like the thank you nonetheless for supporting me during the RfA, and hope that any future RfA’s proceed better than this one did. Again, I thank you for your support. ≈ The Haunted Angel Review Me! 02:16, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

JS tool

How does your JS tool for the sandbox work? Thanks,Thedjatclubrock :) ^(T/C) 01:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The only real point of interest is the document.editform.wpTextbox1.value part, which actually adds the text to the editform. Regards, —Animum _{(a rag man)} 01:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, How do you use it. Thedjatclubrock :) ^(T/C) 01:48, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Add the following line of code to User:Thedjatclubrock/monobook.js:

// Animum's reset script

No,Thanks for the help. I didn't see the tab at first. Thedjatclubrock :) ^(T/C) 02:15, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to make the script "get" the text box, summary field etc., so you can reset the sandbox from any page. Thanks,Thedjatclubrock :) ^(T/C) 02:32, 4 November 2007 (UTC).

What was wrong with that edit?

What was wrong with that edit of Nat Wolff article? All I added was that he was Jewish. --AnnieTigerChucky (talk) 04:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Replied on user's talk page. —Animum (talk) 04:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I hope she'll forgive me for saying so, but Annie is not a "solid contributor" [1] by any stretch of the imagination. Though she does make useful edits on rare occasions--and though I do believe she is not intentionally mischievous--most of her edits detract from the quality of the encyclopedia. ATC seldom interacts with users unless it's to ask them for help carrying out her peculiar edits and will most certainly ignore a template like the above. She's had ongoing trouble following our guidelines and policies, but she's not a vandal. You should take Sandy's lead and deal with her carefully. --The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 04:47, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Well actually, I see she did respond to your templating her. Perhaps I'm wrong about this editor. I often am.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 04:52, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Thx spam

Thank you, Animum, for supporting my RfB, which I withdrew at a final tally of (33/12/1). I failed to overcome the not unforeseeable opposition, but I am humbled by some extremely supportive, encouraging words I could read. In order to honor your trust, I once again vow to continue working and improving. Please contact me should you have any advice or recommendation to give. Or, should you need assistance. I am, as will always be, at your service. Again, please accept my most sincere gratitude.

Sacrifice

Exactly what about the edit to sacrifice was problematic? There were several paragraphs that did not even discuss sacrifices, but went off on a tangent about Christian theology. 64.148.35.14 (talk) 23:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

This "tangent" was theologically related to sacrifice. —Animum (talk) 23:19, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

The topic of the article is sacrifice, not things theologically related to sacrifice. 64.148.35.14 (talk) 23:44, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Jesus's sacrifice (the John 3:16 verse that was removed) was definitely related to sacrifice. Though I must say I'm glad you're discussing instead of reverting me. :-) —Animum (talk) 23:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bad Form

You can't just say "delete" and not give a reason -- AfD is a consensus, not a vote, so saying just "delete" or "keep" with no reasoning is invalid. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 23:38, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Your response

Excuse me? How does fixing a wikilink (Tawana Brawley rape allegations is the actual article title) and removing an unnecessary title (per MOS) constitute "unproductive edits"? ClueBot has reverted good edits twice which is why I used the edit summary I did. I'm getting sick of that thing. 76.97.163.77 (talk) 00:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

About your undoing of my addition to and reorganization of the Money creation section

I don't believe that article is organized too well and is missing important information. Everything in that article after the "money creation by mints" section is actually talking about how money is created through the fractional reserve lending system so I decided to create a section for it and put everything under that section. Also, the table added is a very simple table that displays how money is created through fractional reserve lending. Your suggestion that it belongs under an "interest" article is understandable but incorrect. Money is created through this system and, yes, this does involve an interest rate but it is through this interest rate that new money is created. Since this article is titled "Money Creation", and interest rates in a fractional reserve system create new money, the inclusion of this table and moving the rest of the content under the "fractional reserve lending" section is entirely appropriate.

I hope you will be willing to undo the revert and go back to the version that I edited. It is entirely appropriate and helps to show how money is created. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Analoguni (talk • contribs) 19:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

True, true. Interest is the driving force that creates money, but the section wasn't about interest in the fractional reserve system; it was about how money was created per it. (Forgive my ramblings about myself, please. :-))

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Snap2.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Snap2.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Invader ZIM

Excuse me, I understand there is obviously some controversy in moving ZIM to its correct capitalization on Wikipedia, but I believe it is only correct, given that calling the show Invader Zim is actually in error. Please allow for a full move to Invader ZIM, Thanks! :)65.12.233.213 (talk) 22:56, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

That move goes against our MoS. That is why you were reverted. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 22:57, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I understand the policy of readability over original use; however, I believe it would be a tad too strict to interpret giving the show its correct capitilization as breaking the rules, as they are stated there primarily for actual articles, and not titles. And, as an example of something going against MoS policy, what of the iPod page? It uses the correct [yet not MoS abiding] title, and I understand it was reverted a while back to IPod. Why is this but not Invader ZIM an exception?65.12.233.213 (talk) 23:03, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

The most efficient way to get the title changed would be to start up a discussion on Talk:Invader Zim or on Wikipedia:Requested moves. The move you performed was cut-and-paste. Regards, —Animum (talk) 23:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I'm a random editor who happened to see your page-blanking activities. If you disagree with the content on that page and are sure it is incorrect, you are free to correct it with properly cited material from reliable sources. However, simply blanking content you disagree with, without even discussing it, is rude and is considered vandalism. You will be banned if you persist.
