Ok...if there isn't no copyrighted text borrowed from other user over the internet. Then how come serveral articles do have some copied information? And I can list them for you!
And yes some text can be copied or borrowed from certain websites, for proof, notes and reference. Also while copying that data, a link to that particular website must be given after the copied data.
This things I have beproved! I made all the data I copied from that Unreal website into Italic. And right after the ending of the notes, I 'bolded a note that all text was copied from that site! And I linked the site!

FACE IT! STOP ARGUGING! it's no use. I know what I am doing with the article. I started working on the when it was at stub. No f*king suker editiors helped me on any damn information. The only graditude I will give to some of them is by them correcting some spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes. And I do thank them for that, because they are not as annoying as you. Because they know if they don't know anything about Unreal Championship 2, the best thing they will have to do is 2 things:

1. Correct all spelling mistakes and grammar
2. Stay out of that editors way, and let the editor add hell of a information to the article

But you...you seem quite stubborn

• Because you started moaning about the article being a game manual.

If the article is a game manual, then don't hesitate and just edit or clear out that information. Later you put down in the Talk page why you did that. I always do that when clearing out some false information

• You complained about some spelling mistakes

I cleared all that out! But still, if you do find some mistakes, why crying out loud? It is your duty to be bold and correct that mistake right away

>x<ino 23:30, 17 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

• Xino, what point are you trying to make? The information you added was plagiarised, uncited and in violation of Wikipedia's own fair use policy. It added nothing to either of the articles you pasted it into - it was irrelevant in both - and you failed to even correctly format the text you copied and pasted from another website so that it was even vaguely readable. I'm not interested in you telling me to stop "arguging" on my talk page. Keep it to the articles' pages, where it's relevant. RandyWang 12:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Like I said, it's annoying about the character info, but I'll live. This is a free encyclopedia and if I didn't want or expect anybody to edit my work, I shouldn't post here to begin with. I'm afraid I don't really like doing things twice, though, especially since it could always simply be removed again. I'll leave it to somebody else. Have a good one. Gamer Junkie 14:27, 6 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

The RfC seem to be a waste of time to me...believe me!

However, I do want you to realise that your treatment of other editors is not appreciated, and work toward the few points of improvement listed on that pageSorry, they don't cooperate with me, I treat them the way they expect me to.

The statement thing is a waste, and a waste of my time. I got other things to do, than listen to fools complaining. Because you seem like the only one that got a big problem about me. Cuz if you are not the only one, half of the people editing the same article I am editing would have created a RfC each.

>x<ino 14:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Xino, the point of the RfC was to show you that your conduct was completely unacceptable, and that it has insulted more than just myself. As it is, five of us endorsed the statement that I put forward - if anything, that should give you an idea of how many people agree that you need to change your behaviour. In that respect, I can see that it was a waste of time, since you're apparently not going to change the way you act at all. If you continue like this, someone is going to bring the case to arbitration. RandyWang 23:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

You are jumping into conclusion again! Don't start! You can watch me all you want...it won't do you no good!

>x<ino 14:08, 9 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Xino, if you're patently uncivil in your edit summaries, someone will notice. Be more civil in the future, please, because these people would be happy to see your case taken to arbitration. RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 00:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why did you remove my picture of that new bounty hunter from Corruption out of that article. I thought it was relavent to the game.

Wooer. A couple of things:

1. Please do not remove text from my talk page. Even if you think you look stupid, it's still important (to me, anyway) to keep everything here that was added. Oftentimes the comment you think makes you look dumb is perfectly reasonable to the reader - don't worry about removing text to cover your tracks like that.
2. You appear to be having trouble with your signature(?). If you need some help with it, WP:SIG will provide you with all the information you need. In short, to sign, type four tildes (~). If the problem is that your signature mimics Xino's, please change it if you haven't already. It confused the hell out of me when I saw your comment. :)
3. I removed the image of the Bounty Hunter for the reasons listen on the talk page. In short, fair use images like the one you posted shouldn't be used for decorative purposes.

Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way. Good lord, you have a lot of edits under your belt already. ;) RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 21:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about the deletes. I didn't care about the answer anymore since I kinda figured it out. Thanx for the link to help me with sigs. I used Xino's sig as mine just to build off of, I didn't want anyone to think I was him. I constantly go through the help pages to learn more about editing and doing code for articles. Plus, I'm new and doing articles is addictive.

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 22:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

HELLO!
I see you tagged my article for the Adoption and Safe Families Act page for wikifying. I have done that and I will remove the tag AFTER I get all the links added. IS that okay? Please advise if I am not doing something correctly. I read the guide. Thanks for tagging. I want to do this right. cpswarrior 11:49, 18 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, cpswarrior. Thanks for trying to touch up this article, but it's usually best to leave wikify tags for a few days minimum to let other editors touch it up - as it is, the article doesn't appear to meet the style guidelines yet (most noticeably, it lacks an introduction, which should be above the Contents). Please feel free to fix it up as you see fit, but I'd suggest you leave the wikify tag until a few other editors have taken a look. RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 11:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

OK, Randy. I have left the tag. I will also try to clean it up some too, as time permits. Have to go work now. :(

That's cool. Thanks for leaving it - have fun at work. :P RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 12:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Dude,

Are you going to wikify the article?

Why do you tag it without making any edits yourself? It looks fine by me

--Phenss 09:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

The Wikify tag is there so that other people know that the article needs Wikifaction. I'm not particularly good at Wikifying articles myself, but I do know when they need more attention - hence the tag being placed there to gain the attention of people that can help. Please refer to the Manual of Style that the template refers to if you want to fix up the page yourself. RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 23:36, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

You tagged it as needing Wikification, perhaps without looking it over. I've reverted your thoughtless tag. Not every noun needs to jump out at the reader in a blue wiki-link. --Wetman 08:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

How was this tag added "thoughtlessly"? I'll refer you to WP:AGF on this one. As for the addition itself, the page could do with some organisation into sections, some light copyediting, and a reworked introduction. The article is good at the moment, but could definitely do with more work, which is why I added the tag. RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 08:27, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

RandyWang,

Recently you placed a ((wikify-date|May 2006)) tag on a page I created Trinh Giang. I'd like to know what about the page should be changed to make it more wiki-like. I've created more than 25 articles already but I'm happy to fix things, however I need to know what you think should be fixed. I looked at Wikipedia:Guide to layout page but nothing leaps out at me. user:cglassey

I would suggest that it could do with some organisation into at least a couple of logical sections (such as History, Controversies, Legacy, and a full section for See Also and so on), as well as a little cleanup to fit Wikipedia's Manual of Style (linked to from the wikify box on that page): in particular, you should try to avoid too-short paragraphs (anything less than around two sentences), and it could perhaps benefit from some more blue wikilinks. It's a good article, but I thought (and may have been wrong) that it needed some cleanup in those areas. :) RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 00:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

You are admitting to Wikistalking Xino to some extent. --Avillia ^{(Avillia me!)} 05:16, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. To some extent, I did, and I didn't want for that to be unearthed later in arbitration - I thought it would be more appropriate to tell the full history of the dispute right off the bat. I'd be happy to defend that action at the arbitration page if you ask me to, or else I'll reply here again sometime tonight (when I have the time). Thanks for pointing it out. RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 05:23, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Right, now I have the time to write a "real" response. I'll admit that I practiced in a way that could easily be interpreted as wikistalking, as you point out - however, as I said, I do not wish to hide my actions or the reasons for them from the arbitration committee.

Wikistalking, as (loosely) defined by the page you linked to, involves the harassment of the victim by following them from page-to-page. From there, I draw two points in my defence:

1. My actions were not intended to harass or intimidated Xino, as I'm sure you'll agree from the actual content of my edits. Rather, as explained on the request for arbitration, they were intended to make sure that Xino hadn't inserted copyvios into other pages, or unfairly attacked any other relative newcomers. Nowhere in my motivation was the intent to disrupt Wikipedia, or the articles I was editing. As the Wikistalking page says, "The important part is the disruption": no disruption was intended or, I believe, committed.
2. My actions were based entirely on ensuring the Xino had not been behaving the same way on other pages. As the aforementioned page states, "[wikistalking] does not include checking up on an editor to fix errors or violations of Wikipedia policy": which is exactly what I was doing.

You're right, of course. I'm happy to admit that, in a certain sense of the word, I was stalking Xino. However, I do not believe it was a violation of Wikipedia policy, nor do I believe it was performed in a way that was unfair to Xino. I hope you see likewise; otherwise, please mentioned it on the arbitration page. :)

RandyWang (^raves/_rants) 09:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

To meet the definition of wikistalking the following must be done with an intent to harrass, which is not the case here. The "user contributions" feature is there for a reason; cleaning up after someone is a thankless task and when done in the interests of Wikipedia is not harassment. Anyway, I went to the RFAr to comment and saw that he's already been blocked, so. There ya go. Thanks for your diligence. · Katefan0 ^(scribble) 16:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

In my brief article about the film "The Secret Six," I called the movie "fast-paced" and you labeled that a "POV" and removed it. If you've ever seen the film, you know that it flashes forward like a rocket, the pace is so fast and the cast so fantastically energetic. If Wikipedia writers are constrained from using any description whatsoever of whatever we're writing about, we wind up with something closely resembling little more than a sterile list, and consequently aren't offering enough information. I don't believe "fast-paced" is a POV, it's merely an extremely accurate description, and a necessary one in order to provide enough useful information to the reader in this particular case. If they're not allowed to know anything beyond the fact that it's a gangster movie, they won't be in a position to know what they're missing in case the opportunity to see the movie surfaces. What do you think? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Skymasterson (talk • contribs) .

Wikipedia does not provide reviews of films, nor does it ever attempt to breach the objective stance demanded of an encyclopedia. While the movie may be fast-paced and energetic, but that's not something that should be put on Wikipedia - it's an inherently subjective analysis of the film, not an objective fact. Review content, such as that, should be placed on the IMDB or some other review site (which is why I linked to it at the bottom of the article), but not on Wikipedia.

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

In reference to your edits at DRM, I have some observations. First, I think you have been overbold in some respects, and I have corrected some of these. Please see my edits this day. Nonetheless, you've cleared out some of the weeds that many of us have been perhaps over cautious about disturbing. Second, you have leaped with both feet into a controversy of long standing (please do read the background in the archives and the current talk, some of which is well worthwhile). In two particulars this has caused your edits problems. You will note a very long and sustained campaign of accusation of bias (from both sides, but mostly from those who feel DRM is properly protective of property perogatives). This had been dealt with, if not perfectly, for a very long time and was, more or less, stable despite eruptions of late about the first few sentences, for a while. And second, this a quite technical subject. It is not adequately dealt with without an appreciation of the extremely relevant brambles of both the cryptography which is at DRM's base (all non-trivial schemes are based on controlling access via controlling access to keys, in one or anohter baroque variation) and the legal issues. And, being technical, it is quite easy for interested parties to hide their partisanship (ie, NPOV) in the technical grass. Most folks never look down and so are susceptible to having the wool pulled over their eyes. (Metaphor puree is a specialite of the house, you see!)

The legal issues are tied up, in the US and in Europe (in Oz too?), with pressure from those with money (or a belief theirs is) at stake. This fact is fairly mentionable in this article as it is at the juncture of copyright term (extended in the 'Mouse Act' by the US Congress at the major behest of Disney) and the technical possiiblities of the cryptographic engineering. Passage of DMCA in the US Congress is an example. Vanishingly few of the legislators, and only a few more of their advisors, really were in possession of an actual understanding of the technical facts on the ground of computer engineering and such. To the extent they thought at all, their action was grounded on a theft underway, let's make it and anything that helps illegal, with large penalties. No opposition, nor discussion. They did the same thing in 2000 with the ESign act now being emulated elsewhere. Both are flawed exercises reflecting mostly ignorance of the engineering facts. This is also, though less 'colorfully' is fairly mentionable in this article.

Your edits have been from a literary form perspective and are less fully informed by the underlying engineering realities than I would have hoped a major revmping would include.

In this instance, I'd suggest a little less bold. ww 22:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

You are correct that some at least of the stasis, having been hard won, remained from a joint sense sense of wariness about perhaps touching off an edit war. That left a goodly bit of undergrowth as I noted above. As an 'outsider', you'll probably get a little time to work before the arrows (from both sides) start sprouting from your back. Boomerangs in your case, perhaps?

I will, of course, keep an eye on the article, but I'm not generally able to put overmuch time in, which prevents undertaking large edits to fix things, or at least what I think needs fixed (to quote AlistairMcMillan's most recent comment). The instant appeal to the community (by me) was the result of a frustration at our inability to get back to a quasi stable posiiton which denied either side prominence in the PR weilding of loaded terms for the field. It hwas been suggested that we should ditch DRM altogether, and use something less contentious, but thsi strikes me as wrong. See my comments in the talk archives now and then. doing the right thing often leads one to being shot I;m afraid.

You note an interest in engineering. Not a common one in one good at the verbal gymnastics of debating, but what is your interest? Does it include computer security and such like? If so, I can give you a few bokk etc suggestions for a head start on your university tour. ww 23:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make whatever changes you feel are needed. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. You don't even need to log in! (Although there are some reasons why you might like to…) The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome.

If you only spent a small fraction of the time you've spent on your user page on this article instead of merely tagging it "cleanup" about five minutes after I had created it with no explanation as to what should be cleaned up, it would be a better article already.

Last time I did new page patrol I had one. I'd really like CSD to cover all non-notable things that don't assert notability beyond people/bands and cover things like businesses, websites, and products.--Crossmr 02:05, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I wish admin would take the time to check to see if the claim is valid rather than just removing it because a claim exists. You could get any article you wanted kept here for 5 days by making some half-baked half-way plausible claim even though its a complete fabrication.--Crossmr 04:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Where can I see the articles for deletion that show how this decision was reached?

Please help me. I am asking you, as a favor, to review the First Family of the United States article as it was immediately following my last contribution, before entire families were reverted. I seem to be the target of some kind of vendetta, and recently it seems that all of my contributions have been swiftly deleted. There wasn't even a reason given; they just axed the Ford, Eisenhower, and Nixon families without explanation. There was no political bias in my wording, no controversial claims, nothing even remotely resembling a hoax. They even took down my pictures, all of which were public domain.

Please read this article and then write your honest opinion in its talk page. I have been writing with Wikipedia for over ayear now but am seriously considering leaving because of this.

Aww, thanks! And to think, I only cheated a little. :) RandyWang (^raves/_{review me!}) 08:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I was wondering if someone would think of looking them up! I should tell you, those cookies were poisoned....The Ungovernable Force 08:32, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Damn! You should have told me before I fed them to your dog... :) RandyWang (^raves/_{review me!}) 08:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Oh no, Minnie! That's why she almost threw up earlier today! I guess she got it out of her system so she'll be ok (wait, she ate her vomit, so maybe she'll still be sick). Well, it wasn't very strong anyway. And btw, how did you find my dog? The Ungovernable Force 08:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Honestly... I thought she was a bit of a bitch. Buh-dum-ching! RandyWang (^raves/_{review me!}) 08:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, well your pet donkey is an ass! And if you don't have a pet donkey, well, uh, hmm, I don't really know. How about that, huh? But anyway, my dog is totally awesome. She's a Jack Russel Terrier but she is pretty mellow and easy to handle. And she's just soooooo adorable! The Ungovernable Force 08:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well, I did know a guy who had a pet donkey.. who'da thunk it? I've never owned a dog (sadly :( ), although my dad does own an adorable black cat named Taffy. My brother used to own a Labradoodle named Spike (after the Buffy the Vampire Slayer character), but I rarely saw him. Sad. :( RandyWang (^raves/_{review me!}) 09:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

It is awesome to see two great guys like you have become friends thanks to the Soundtrack project :) You rule, TUF and Randy! Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 22:05, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I like to think of it as a match made in heaven. :) RandyWang (^raves/_{review me!}) 09:46, 31 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ha! I know, I was pretty shocked when I saved that comment and saw almost the exact same thing above it... cuuuuurses! --SevereTireDamage 14:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for providing the first support with some meat to it in my successful RfA. I began addressing the concern you referenced before the close of RfA and hope to have the matter settled soon. Please let me know if at any time you feel that I'm not living up to your expectations.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 18:53, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey, one-known-as-Randy: There's an RfC I've posted on Snake Liquid; you're somewhat involved in that matter, so you should take a look. --Emufarmers^(T/C) 05:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, thank you, thank you, my dear Randy! :) To tell you the truth, I still think this is but a beautiful dream and I'll wake up at anytime... and once again, here's another chance to thank you for your kindness and your friendship - *huuuuuuuuugs!* :) I promise we'll talk more this weekend!
