April 2007[edit]

Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia, which you did in Racist Source Tape. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thank you.

Keyword... Testing[edit]

I noticed that you proposed for deletion the article keyword.... I stumbled upon it today and it has changed very little. What was the outcome of that proposal... and why is that page still crap? 128.158.145.51 18:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article[edit]

I knew that the image was inaccurate by location, and I removed it. Thanks for the heads up though :)Sr13 17:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Oval[edit]

Hello Greatestrowerever. I reverted your changes to The Oval in Jason Gillespie's article as you had made (i think) a typo. You changed Brit Oval to Thr Oval. I'm not sure if Brit Oval or The Oval is preferred, just picked up on the typo. Cheers. Jonesy (talk) 22:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I have changed it back without the typo, cheers for picking it up. --Greatestrowerever (talk) 13:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ultras[edit]

I like the map very much! Any chance of doing slightly more zoomed-in ones, one for each continent, to put on the lists of Ultras that are going up? Cheers, Mark J (talk) 16:12, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ultras in Tajikistan[edit]

Hi, following your lead with Ismoil Somoni Peak I have added the classification Ultra in the infobox for Lenin Peak. However, no prominence is given for all the other 7000+ peaks in Category:Mountains of Tajikistan. Can you add the missing data in the infoboxes or tell me where and how I can find the numbers? I am specifically talking at this stage about Independence Peak, Peak Korzhenevskaya, Karl Marx Peak, Mayakovskiy Peak, Patkhor Peak, and Mount Garmo. Thank you. The next question, of course, is how to transfer these Ultras to an appropriate list for Central Asia or Asia (which does not seem to exist at this stage). --Zlerman (talk) 02:09, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the link to info on prominences etc. Very useful. I will start working on it and eventually create a list of Ultras for Central Asia. --Zlerman (talk) 12:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am getting frustrated with the list of the less famous Tajik Ultras on peaklist.org. Example: "Gora imeni Fuchika" (line 21): this should be "Fucik Peak" (after the Czech journalist Julius Fucik, who visited Central Asia in the 1930s), but "Fucik Peak" is not mentioned in any of my Tajik sources. Furthermore, it is mentioned only three or four time on Google (in Russian, nothing in English), and in these cases it appears to be a 4,100 m peak in Kyrgyzstan (in the Issyk-Kul' region), not a 4,573 m peak in Tajikistan. On my topographical map of Tajikistan, I find a 4,573 m peak at the coordinates specified in peaklist.org, but it is unnamed. The link to 100K maps given at the bottom of peaklist.org does not work any more. So I am stymied. Can you direct me to good sources that list Central Asian mountains by altitude, not necessarily by prominence? I would like to check this as thoroughly as possible, because the new Ultras in the list will need to have new Wikipedia articles written about them (if only stubs). Any guidance you can give me will be much appreciated. Thanks. --Zlerman (talk) 15:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery tag removal[edit]

I am wondering why you removed the Cleanup-gallery tag from the page Most prominent mountain peaks of the United States. The page clearly has an image gallery which is discouraged under wikipaedia guidelines. Maybe you should consider improving the article instead of removing the tag without addressing the issue. ----GreatestrowereverTalk Page 22:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The galleries at Most prominent mountain peaks of the United States and Mountain peaks of Canada are clearly in keeping with the guidelines and are quite relevant to the topic of the articles. Please restrain your use of the cleanup-gallery template to galleries that do not follow the guidelines. The guidelines only discourage the use of galleries that are overly large or that do not contain material that enhance the article in a meaningful way. Thanks, Buaidh (talk) 13:16, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pathfinder Platoon[edit]

I have reverted your edit to Pathfinder Platoon, it was decided at AFD to redirect it to the brigade article as it is not notable by itself.--Jim Sweeney (talk) 14:10, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Cam (Chat)(Prof) 15:08, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Come on - it was funny and he deserved it! ----GreatestrowereverTalk Page 15:10, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No and no. Consider this to be a final warning. If I see any further similar behavior, I will not hesitate to block. That sort of behavior is not tolerated, period. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:19, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Signature[edit]

Your signature is not in compliance with the Wikipedia guidelines on signatures. Pacifically, they should not include unnecessary changes to font or color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.239.45.130 (talk) 19:46, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Care.. ---GreatestrowereverTalk Page 20:12, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I quite like my signature so have decided not to change it. Thanks --GreatestrowereverTalk Page 12:56, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Signature[edit]

Please change your signature to comply with policy, particularly this part. It disrupts the way that surrounding text displays. --AmaryllisGardener talk 12:19, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No ----GreatestrowereverTalk Page 23:13, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, and welcome back to editing! I've been pinged in by Amaryllis. I found your reply to me four years ago to be very interesting and unsurprisingly juvenile, but I unfortunately did not see it at the time.
Anyway, moving on. Your signature does violate the relevant guideline, linked by Amaryllis above. It quite obviously annoys other users and it uses the deprecated <font> tag to boot, so you're going to have to change it. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 01:56, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed. I've seen your message above and decided not to change it. Thanks. --GreatestrowereverTalk Page 19:59, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Greatestrowerever, and welcome back! Unfortunately, this isn't negotiable. Wikipedia's signature appearance and color policy is a requirement. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 21:31, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No thanks --GreatestrowereverTalk Page 12:14, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open![edit]

Hello, Greatestrowerever. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Nomination for deletion of Template:Wp atheism barnstar[edit]

Your signature and linter errors[edit]

Just a reminder that your signature contains a missing end tag and obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to [[User:Greatestrowerever|<b style="font-family:Chiller;font-size:large;color:#800000;">Greatestrowerever</b>]][[User talk:Greatestrowerever|<b style="color:black;"><sup>Talk Page</sup></b>]] ASAP.

The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature.

If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and if that's the case, unfortunately you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk) 02:50, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message.

a. I have absolutely no idea how to change a signature.

b. I do not want to change my signature and have no intention of doing so.

Hopefully this clears things up.

--GreatestrowereverTalk Page 08:28, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can change your signature through your preferences under the section "User profile", and I see you don't want to change your sig to reduce Linter errors. You might find WP:SIGFONT helpful because font tags are deprecated. Sheep (talk) 11:36, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No thanks. ---GreatestrowereverTalk Page 15:47, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
