- What??
- I am administrator at Swedish Wikipedia, and administrator and bureaucrat at Swedish Wiktionary. The term "Oh, be a fine girl, kiss me" is a widely-known phrase for remembering the stellar spectral classes (O, B, A, F, G, K, M). Almost all physicists know it, and it is mentioned in most introductory astrophysics books. Furthermore, it is mentioned in the Stellar classification article, the target of the redirects. You really should be more careful before classifying articles (including redirects) as "nonsense". --Andreas Rejbrand (talk) 14:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, the article as it existed when I tagged it mentioned none of this. What I saw was nothing but an invitation to discuss, which, as you probably know, should not be in the article mainspace. Maybe previous versions are a different story, I don't know. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 14:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Your apology is accepted! Of course, I put the text on the article instead of its talk page. --Andreas Rejbrand (talk) 15:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

- I actually checked the article for that line, but my Firefox search told me that it did not exist. I tried it again a minute ago, and again it did not come up. Why? Because my search was set to be case sensitive, which caused "oh," to return nothing. Sorry for the trouble, but know i actually tried to check it :) Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 15:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Dubious "Neutrality"
Regarding this response:
Stating an opinion is "neutral" is not acceptable according to
- "Blue colour is more appealing than red colour" is (according to one of two possible definitions of the word) an opinion, which in general is neither true nor false and is related to an emotional response. "I think that blue colour is more appealing than red colour" is a fact (either true or false - maybe you even can verify it using some medical imaging technique applied to the brain). "Neutral" was maybe ("maybe" because some great NPOV articles cite the opinions of other people) a bad word - I'm sorry for that - but the latter example certainly qaulifies as a "fact". But really, it is no big deal. I could spend some hours investigating the definitions of "opinion", "neutral", "fact", "POV" and their use (and misuse) in the current discussion, but I am short of time. Your comment regarding IE was not obviously neutral, either. Also, the user seemed to be looking for "opinions" as well as "facts". My point is that I do not find this issue important enough to investigate it further. One simple thing to think about, however, is that you should not post comments that are not necessary. --Andreas Rejbrand (talk) 13:59, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Suit yourself; but willful ignorance of the rules is not a defense. – 74 23:31, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- I am not familiar with the expression "suit yourself". However, I notice some annoyance in your "voice", and it might simply be due to a misunderstanding. When I wrote "One simple thing to think about, however, is that you should not post comments that are not necessary.", I was of course referring to this comment (and, to some extent, the previous comment made by you). But I really do not see why we should make any big deal out of this. My original post (Chrome) was not that awful. Then you came with a not really neccesary comment, and then I wrote an even more irrelevant comment. I am sorry for that! --Andreas Rejbrand (talk) 23:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- "Suit yourself" is an idiom meaning "do as you please". As I previously stated, my comment was a half-joke intended to prevent the question from turning into an opinion survey (which a previous poster had correctly identified as prohibited by our guidelines), a "humorous reminder" of neutrality. Was my comment necessary? I have no idea. I'm sorry if you took it as a personal attack; I assure you that wasn't what I intended. – 74 02:41, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

ED did not distribute your malware
Your malware problem did not come from ED. Your description also sounds like you browse the web in an insecure environment. I will be restoring the links to the ED page. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- My environment is very secure. And I have never seen anything like it before. But do as you want. I am not an expert, but I would not visit that site again on my main computer. --Andreas Rejbrand (talk) 03:01, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- The article is about ED, and it would constitute original research to say that a malware problem originated from the site.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:17, 9 December 2009 (UTC)]

- Well, if it turned out to be a dangerous site, in the sense that visiting it is likely to harm the computer, then I do not think it is appropriate for Wikipedia to link to it. We should not treat our reads like that. But, perhaps the site is completely harmless. I do not know; that was why I asked on WP:RD/C. --Andreas Rejbrand (talk) 13:21, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
