Hi, i'm currently editing a certain public page with tables, and needing a space to arrange and edit info before entering it in its final form to the public page. I'm currently using the User Space, but i would like to keep the info unseen (my user page is seen to all), how can it be made ? {{helpme}} Greyshark09 (talk) 10:09, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, the info can't be put in a place where no one can see it- the sheer fact that this is a wiki means that things are always public. However, if you want a place that far less people will read than your user page, you can make yourself a sandbox, User:Greyshark09/sandbox for example, and work there. sonia^♫♪ 10:25, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much, that is exactly what i've needed.Greyshark09 (talk) 12:15, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

"Mosaic Law"

Please see the section on Mosaic Law in the discussion page of Judaism before you add that phrase back in again. Continuing to revert edits without discussion on the talk page may be considered to be engaging in an edit war. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 20:35, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

WP:3RR warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 20:48, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

November 2010

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Mosaic law. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 21:17, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Certainly, Regards!Greyshark09 (talk) 21:53, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

WhiteShark1967

Do you know anything about this editor? Dylan Flaherty 22:07, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Not at all.Greyshark09 (talk) 10:30, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Looks a bit suss, don't you think? PiCo (talk) 11:22, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

What is suss? it is not an English word.Greyshark09 (talk) 11:25, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

It is if you're a native English speaker. PiCo (talk) 11:59, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

I speak many languages, including English, but certainly i'm not a native English speaker. You are welcome to educate me on slang.Greyshark09 (talk) 12:24, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

My command of foreign tongues is limited to that most essential of all phrases, "My friend will pay!" I can say this in eleven different languages. "Suss" is an abbreviation of "suspicious". PiCo (talk) 12:39, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

You mean that both users are sharks? Hilarious. You can add this to Conspiration theories page.Greyshark09 (talk) 12:53, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

In all fairness, it's as much the behavior as the names. The other shark seemed to be on a jihad to remove all mention of Palestine. Sound familiar? Dylan Flaherty 02:07, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Jihad is a POV-pushing of Palestine to replace any mention of Israel, Judah and other names in any period. Instead of your own Jihad you better learn research basics, instead of dealing with synthesis and speculations.Greyshark09 (talk) 09:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I researched this a bit. It turns out that some people create additional accounts for the purpose of supporting their efforts to make certain types of changes. So, for example, a person such as yourself, who seems interested in removing all mention of Palestine, might create an alternate account, such as WhiteShark1967. The new account would then make some of the changes, distracting from the original and creating some semblance of consensus while helping you game 3RR.

The interesting thing is that Wikipedia keeps records that make it easy to catch people playing such tricks. Dylan Flaherty 02:11, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Then you should not do such things, and apply to the policy of Good Faith.Greyshark09 (talk) 09:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I'll make you a deal: if you won't, then I won't. Deal? Dylan Flaherty 13:21, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't care if you do multiple accounts, but you shouldn't blame others for it without any real proof. Good Faith policy is essential for the success of wikipedia project.Greyshark09 (talk) 14:42, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

No deal? Hmm, I wonder if that means I need to create a User:BlueShark54236542 and join you. Dylan Flaherty 01:37, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Whiteshark seems to have deleted his account. How very disappointing - he had much to contribute.PiCo (talk) 05:10, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

So true, yet I get the feeling that Greyshark09 can carry the torch for them. Dylan Flaherty 07:58, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

This has become a concert of clowns with a monologue by PiCo Doherty. My hopes for any dialogue have hit an iceberg. I give up the conversation.Greyshark09 (talk) 16:06, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Greyshark, I'm more amused than anything else by this affair, and I must say I feel a bit guilty - I don't want to make your wiki-editing unpleasant for you. You might like to delete this thread. PiCo (talk) 08:10, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Sure, feel free. I won't object to it and, as it turns out, you are always free to clean off your talk page. Dylan Flaherty 08:16, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
