Howdy.

Not sure if you're aware, but there's been continued

seem to think you're a "living legend." I don't think these guys are going to fool anyone, but if you don't mind, some clarification of your "personal attack" and "inside joke" remarks would be appreciated.

Thanks. Android79 22:57, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)

Please don't feel obliged to apologize for unprovoked attacks on you in a WP article. You did the right thing, however, in responding on VfD to let us know what the background to this nonsense was. Thank you. Edeans 22:42, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Dude. What's up with the userpage?

Hellenica, I do appologize if I prematurely assumed that you are biased. I am under impression that you are not familiar with the topic otherwise you would know how wrong the article realy is. The article itself does not event grant the consideration and it insults the intelegence. I have been dealing with this and few other users that are pushing similar agenda for many months now and to say the least it is an exausting task and one that is not rewarding of time spent on Wikipedia.

Regarding your post here - I should thank you for taking the time to set up the AfD page for this page - I did a lot of speedies today, and did not have the time to set it up for this article. So, for your initiative, here is a WikiThanks for you! --HappyCamper 06:50, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! Thanks for your work on keeping track of the votes here - it is starting to get a bit confusing indeed. Since I have voted on that page, I will refrain from closing it - another administrator within a week or so should be able to do so, and given that the comments on that page are quite lengthy, I expect they will certainly comb through the history and check for sockpuppets and such. If you want to help with cleaning up the article, I would suggest that you wait until the AfD vote is over, and then a little bit longer (perhaps an extra few days or so) because that way, the changes may not be so frequent and intense. Wikipedia should be a fun place to contribute to, and it would not be healthy to get burned out over an article! :-) I think you are very wise for thinking carefully which articles with bias are worth your time and effort to improve. As for me, I think I'm going to stay away from editing the article as I know next to nothing on the subject. If you find that the editing environment on that page is degenerating further, I might come back and either protect the page or issue 3RR blocks. However, I generally do not do either of these unless I think it is beneficial to the article. Although it seems quite heated right now, I think it should be okay for the next few days. I hope this helps, and I'll see you around. Feel free to come by my talk page again anytime! --HappyCamper 19:09, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly :-) Well, I guess I couldn't have expected you to know I am an admin here - the word is completely missing on my userpage! I do this because it is a way for me to keep myself collected on Wikipedia. There are lots of things I am interested to help out with, and it is important that I'm not too spread out with my time and effort. Thanks again for your message! --HappyCamper 21:49, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you know me...step away when it isn't worth it! :-) Well, here's my opinion: as much as the article served as an intensifier, if you really want to edit the article to make it better, I would wait until the edit war subsides - even a few months if necessary. Wait until the edit war burns itself out. The scope of Wikipedia is sufficiently large that you do not need to focus on that one particular article. There are plenty of other articles which could use your expertise - articles that probably have editing environments with relatively more peace and quiet. I read the talk page, and I think you did the best that you could with what you had! Remember that some disputes are simply out of the scope of Wikipedia to solve, and at least you spent the time and effort to work towards a resolution. This is no easy feat - generally speaking, (and especially for articles with institutionalised points of view) editors see Wikipedia primarily as a mechanism to educate others, and not the other way around. Know when to jump in, and when to jump out - especially when no one is listening and understanding. I hope this helps! (By the way, I may not see your next message as I am on a plane, but thanks for dropping by again - I really appreciated it.) --HappyCamper 21:45, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Hellenica - I notice you've done work on the New York City article. Your great contributions on highways and airports in NYC have grown into a new sub article, Transportation in New York City, which has been nominated to be a US Collaboration of the Week. Check it out and if you like it, please vote for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:USCOTW We need all the votes we can get! Wv235 04:05, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm reaching out to all the major editors of the SHU article in hopes of finishing up some edits required to bring the article up to GA status. The article had passed GA, but was then placed on hold, contingent on our finishing the items on our to do list. I'd appreciate any help you could give in making this happen. Regards,
