Question
This is SportsMasterESPN, I noticed you used to work on Yahoo! Groups. I have a few questions for you. Is there anyway I could talk to you online?
- Sorry, no (I don't use Messenger or anything like that). You can email me at my user name at mac.com. Stev0 22:25, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Early web history
Steve, I know we've gotten onto different sides on some of the recent AfD disputes about websites (and I wish you'd stop calling people meatpuppets), and I'm sorry about that, but some of us are trying to turn that into something constructive with
I'm not sure if it matters or whether it will influence your vote, but if you take a look at "eight easy bits" on Google now, it only gives back 45 unique hits and about 300 in total. The reason for the high amount of links beforehand was because Google was indexing roughly 3000 links for a forum user with "eight easy bits" in his signiture. I do disagree with the synopsis that being launched in 2003 makes for a long running webcomic, it has only managed 97 strips and if you look at
- Actually, the List of webcomics convinced me even more to keep the article. I have not heard of 99.9% of those comics, and I'm not about to go through that whole list to figure out which ones I hadn't heard of are notable or not. Stev0 22:26, 31 March 2006 (UTC)]
- No worries, I've not heard of 99.9% of them either, but just felt that many had lasted for longer. - Hahnchen 22:29, 31 March 2006 (UTC)]

I've given the article a quick brush up, as requested at the AFD, if you want to give it a look over. Cheers ! Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Norwich, Massachusetts
My only concern is that folks can easily identify the town of Norwich and find its history, since there are many genealogical and historical references to Norwich. A true merger might help, yes...but with "Norwich" retained as a redirect to Huntington. Mel 05:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- Redirecting "Norwich, Massachusetts" to "Huntington, Massachusetts" makes sense. Stev0 15:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
CfD boilerplate
Why did you delete the daily nominations section? Why didn't you read the instructions?
- --William Allen Simpson 02:47, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I did? I didn't mean to, sorry. It was my first Category CfD; it's like an article CfD like I assumed it would be. Stev0 07:39, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
No, it's not. It has a different page layout. Different instructions. Different rules. AfD is similar to MfD, CfD is almost identical to TfD, and RfD is like they were 3 years ago.... Anyway, please read instructions. Use the subst:templates, instead of making it up as you go. Thanks.
- --William Allen Simpson 13:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I meant to say it's NOT like and article CfD. I did read the instructions, but obviously I got something wrong. Next time I'll get it right. Stev0 14:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Aerial
Thanks for pointing out the picture was cropped as well as flopped in Aerial. I suspect the picture on the inside of the album cover is also from one of Joseph Edward Southall's, but I can't identify it online. WLD 17:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, thank YOU for pointing out the source of the painting; I never knew that before. Stev0 18:22, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
External Linking
Hey, I got your message. My apologies. Of course I'm trying to promote the site that I maintain however, the links I posted (I felt) pretained to the articles that I had linked them to. I've looked further at Wikipedia's NPOV policies and I see now that some of the links were not in line with this site's goals. However, some of the links on the site that I work for are truly relevant to these articles, non-biased and objective, and I will make further efforts to get these linked. Not just for means of self promotion but because they are relevant. Of course I will go through the proper channels from now on as well as work to add new content my own self, and overall to be a more responsible Wikipedia...er. Thanks for the heads up. --DMTayag 14:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
How was this vandalism reversion
Hi Stev0. I'm wondering how this revert was vandalism reversion. Granted, it was unsourced, but vandalistic? I don't think so. Why did you revert it as such? Picaroon9288 03:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Every other edit that user made was vandalism. I couldn't find any information that confirmed what they said in Google, so it's safe to assume it was vandalism, too. If you can find information that confirms what they put in, feel free to put it back in. Stev0 03:51, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Discography link = Spam?
Hi, I noticed you reverted a lot of musicbrainz links. In case you don't agree with linking to discographies you should perhaps voice your opinions here instead:
]- A couple of days after I deleted the links, I actually looked at MusicBrainz. If someone wants to re-revert the pages, go for it; however, when a single user edits a lot of pages with nothing but adding a link to pages off a web site, I automatically assume it's spam. 99.9% of the time I'm right; arguably this is that 0.1% time where it's not. Stev0 23:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, true. Well, I noticed the link on several Artist pages but it was also missing on quite a few, so added it to them at the same time...--Dalen 09:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- You didn't do anything wrong. However, at the time I didn't do anything wrong, either (fighting spam is one of my highest priorities). If you want to re-add them, I promise I won't delete them (now that I know what MusicBrainz is - I did look at it before I went on my delete spree, and to be honest I wasn't impressed at all; however, I can see how it has potential); however, you might want to make a note somewhere so the next person that sees you adding nothing but a bunch of links to the same site at the same time doesn't delete them again. Stev0 19:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
