Happy new one and Tx

Hi Hj, a happy and productive 2009 to you and your dears! And thanks for [this]. I should have had a closer look at what was ref and what was quote. Thanks for scrrrOOtinizing. Cheers, DVdm (talk) 17:36, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

A quote from Zappa is not a proper reference?

Aw, spare me, please. Hey, Joe, what is the deal? Sorry to overbear you with zeal. But using words from Zap, to reference that crap, is propriate with ap - there seems a logic gap. Edit wars are kinda scary and of them I am quite wary... wonder what else could might carry... Using Zappa's words to source his subjective views on a song's protagonist is, in fact, the only correct way to cite a statement which is about Zappa's views on a song's protagonist. To deny - or overlook - that an element of satire is present in his "straight" lyrics is to do the reader a complete disservice. Badger Drink (talk) 17:59, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

You inserted a POV statement. And in a footnote you then put in a quote by Zappa which supposedly supports it. You may be onto something, but for a non-Zappa fan, the two things did not make any sense at all: It is not possible for the non-initiated to see how things fit together. If you want to make edits where you use a Zappa quote as a source, it would be better to write something like "Zappa stated that the songs were blablablabla" - and then in the footnote you can either just provide the relevant reference to the TRFZB. Pícking up some quote that should support something in the text could be seen as original research which is not allowed.--HJensen, talk 02:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

• I would like to add my great appreciation. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:07, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Same here; although you haven't helped me directly, your dedication is telling. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:21, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

TE is doing it again

Check this. It seems he ignores also your warning about WP:EGG —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.57.9.59 (talk) 22:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Extra! Extra! Read all bout it!

Even Rubin and Cole say Tennis expert has lost it. Ohconfucius (talk) 13:03, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I will look at it, but explicitly state here that I otherwise do nothing incivil. And I emphasize that if this is a diff somewhere, this is not a tag-team effort. It is not. Really. It is not. So this is a bad diff, posted by an editor with too much time oh his/her hands.--HJensen, talk 14:38, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

• I regret your being driven to paranoia. I can agree that anal obsession of someone scouring the earth for diffs to demonstrate some sort of conspiracy against him, can be unsettling. My post was only for your information, and does not imply endorsement or otherwise of my concern for this persons well-being. However, as if to confirm your worst fears, my post has been extracted once again as 'evidence', against me. Ohconfucius (talk) 09:58, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Oh boy! This is sick. (And this silly stuff doesn't make me really paranoid; just tired and depressed for the future of the world we live in :-) .) Thanks for your message. Over and out (and if this is a diff, it is a BAD diff. A SILLY diff. A diff that shows the DIFF POSTER doesn't have a life. BAD diff!!).--HJensen, talk 10:59, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Date delinking

Please see the above arbitration case where you have been named in a proposal in the workshop. Regards, Ryan Postlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 13:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I know of it, and do not want to participate anymore. It has turned into a Kindergarden activity for a few very stubborn and self-righteous people. I don't want to waste more time on these children pretending to be serious adults.--HJensen, talk 17:05, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

• I appreciated your comment on WT:Date delinking/Workshop. I also really liked your above response. You and I think very much alike. BTW, I too like am an adult, am a male (anatomically at birth and I’m not going to apologize for it), am a father, enjoy the Simpsons (but love Family Guy), appreciate Futurama, am a professional procrastinator (comes from perfectionism in some cases, which I suspect applies in your case), and Thinks 2001 is an awesome bit of work. I think 2001 was the greatest film accomplishment of all time. Rimisherim (talk) 00:18, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
