DO NOT EDIT OR POST REPLIES TO THIS PAGE. THIS PAGE IS AN ARCHIVE.

Hello.

Hello. I wanted to reply this a long time ago, but I was too busy to spare some time for you, due to the fact that you are not someone or something I should put my attention on. You are a waste of my time. Do you have a lot of time on your hands? Do you constantly browse on Wikipedia pages? Seems like it to me. And may I ask, how is it considered 'vandalism' when anyone can edit the page. Vandalism. "Some vandalism qualifies as culture jamming or sniggling — it is artistic in nature as well as being carried out illegally or without the property owner's permission." Without the owner's permission.. so who WAS the owner of that page? You? Doubt it. And you'll be glad too when you visit Wikipedia's home page and find this! "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." Let me hi-light this incase you cannot read. "..THAT ANYONE CAN EDIT." ANYONE includes me. So if I have been given the right to "EDIT" then why not? This leads to my final point. Mind Your Own Business. MYOB. Thank You.

Vandalism vs. Bias

I noticed that you issued a Test 3 Warning to 61.246.44.77. If you are referring to the articles I think you are (Kashmir-related articles), please be aware that from what I have seen, this user's edits constitute bias, not vandalism. If I recall, POV on articles does not constitute vandalism (did I miss some change to the vandalism policy?). I have left a message on his talk page advising him to conform to the NPOV policy. Unless his edits change in their nature, I do not believe that this user deserves to be accused of vandalism. He could be a "clueless newbie". Please do not issue vandalism accusations unless they are truly warranted. Thanks. Roy Al Blue 20:35, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

~~Edit~~ This is user 61.246.44.77. Before one accuses me of bias kindly read well on the subjects, read history on that perticular subject and also refer to the intelligence reports, that is, if you get any.

Thank you!

RfC for 80.217.152.161

Howdy, I have drafted an RfC on my Temp page concerning the anonymous editor of Darod & Hawiye. He apparently evaded a block yesterday, but it's been quiet since then (the block still has a few hours, though). Was it a good idea to write this about the user, or should I have made it about the articles themselves? I'm just not sure how this will affect a non-responsive anonymous editor. But let me know what you think. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:27, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, it's live, here. I added the possible block evasion. Thank you! -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi... suggestion to lock a topic of Wikipedia

The topic I just edited, U.C. Sampdoria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampdoria) is being modified continuously by Genoa CFC fans that are writing racist and useless paragraphs to that topic. All I've done is removing that paragraph, which is quoted below, cause I just don't think that it's fair for us Sampdoria fans being insulted on a prestigious information and knowledge source such as Wikipedia. And also, it's not like we Sampdoria fans modify their page, by adding that in our city they're called "chickens", or whatever.

So therefore I suggest to limit somehow, for some times, the editability of that page. Thankyou for your attention.

This is the paragraph I feel like it has to be removed:

"At the time of the club's founding people from the southern regions of Italy were beginning to move into Genoa. It is believed that many of them picked up the newly established team as their own, especially in the neighborhoods close to the steel mills and the naval arsenals where they worked. This led supporters of the Genoa Cricket and Football Club to dub all of Sampdoria's supporters with the derogatory term 'Gabibbi' ('Gabibbo', from Cabib/Habib, is Genoese for a person of southern or Levantine/North African descent). Another disparaging nickname for Sampdoria's players is 'cyclists', this stems from their horizontally-striped jerseys, resulting from the merging of the original white-blue colours of 'Andrea Doria' and the red-black ones of 'Sampierdarenese' ('SAMPierdarenese + 'Andrea DORIA' = SAMPDORIA), which, in the 1950s did bear a striking resemblance with the attire of professional bicycle riders."

Sudbury Airport redux

Could you please review the municipal government situation of Greater Sudbury before rewriting the airport article again? There's no such thing as a "Municipality of Sudbury" from which Garson, Skead and the airport are in any way separate -- there's only one municipality in the area, its exact name is "City of Greater Sudbury", and Garson, Skead and the airport are all within it. The airport is northeast of the city's downtown core to be sure, but it's still inside the city limits. "Greater Sudbury" isn't a metropolitan agglomeration of independent towns and cities like Greater Vancouver or the Greater Toronto Area; it's the actual name of a single city with a single municipal government. Bearcat 03:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

That's fine...I don't have a problem with the thing about the airport's name (except to note that you actually removed the paragraph that addressed the fact that it uses both names in different contexts). I was just concerned about the way your rewrite created a perception that "Greater Sudbury" and "Sudbury" were somehow two different things and the airport was actually outside the boundaries of one of them. I think probably the CFS didn't update its information when the city's political status changed in 2001. Bearcat 07:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Vegetation in tropical desserts of australia speedy

Your speedying of Vegetation in tropical desserts of australia with the summary "(Nonsense)" was a blatant violation of your admin responsibilities: WP:CSD makes it clear that the meaning of "nonsense" in this context is given by WP:PN, and if you are going to carry out speedies, you are responsible to understand how to apply "is so completely and irredeemably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to make sense of it". The revision you deleted, while hardly polished and at least in part better suited to a talk page, is full of perfectly sensible information that you should not have speedied for that reason. Please reread the relevant portion of WP:CSD and all of WP:PN, and respond here on your talk page User talk:CambridgeBayWeather.

Hi

This is "Neorge". I edited the Montreal Trudeau Airport page because i found stronger proof. If you got to www.admtl.com which is the main Montreal airport website, under coporate information and statistics, it has passenger traffic at 10.3 million for 2004 and 235,441 aircraft movements. I just assumed the main website would have the real numbers. Please reply with your comments. Thanks

My Paper

The opportunities to expand corporate profits and establish long term relationships with international businesses are not limited to geographical terrains. Advancements in technologies and an improved understanding of civilizations throughout the world triggered an economic evolution with unlimited trade and industrial opportunities. Thus, giving marketers’ enormous opportunities to gain target markets in international territories, previously out of reach to corporate America. Today’s business leaders must possess the ability to understand how personal values, organizational values, cultural values, and ethical dilemmas influence their personal and professional decisions during international business negotiations. Negotiators are people, with build in personal values, that may or may not agree with other stakeholders involve in the decision making process.

For example, during a University of Phoenix discussion thread, there were several heated discussions on the use of the English languish in Mexico during business negotiations between USAuto and AutoMex. Some, students place high values on English as the primary languish during all business negotiations initiated by US companies. Yet, other students believe the hoist nations languish should be prominent during negotiations on international platforms, regardless who initiated the conference. As a result, the personal believes of decision maker can either benefit or stifle the negotiation process (Go to Class, Wk-3, Q-1).

Abortion is considered a morale act “under certain conditions” for some people, yet deemed as a cruel murder and unnecessary action by others, in spite of the situation. Therefore, when making a personal decision to vote, people who value a women’s right to choose will vote different then those who value pro-life constituents. Who is right or who is wrong? The answers are everybody and nobody. Therefore, to rid us of this confusion, a higher organizational authority is necessary to layout our moral values and ethical guidelines.

Organizational values will set the tone during personal and business negotiations. The US legal system has strict guidelines for jury selection and will ask specific questions to test the value system of potential juries. In other words, if a potential juror is against the death penalty, then that juror could be excluded from court cases were capital punishment procedures are evolved. Unfortunately, some potential jurors will lie and falsely confess their disagreement to the death penalty, as a means to get out of the often gruesome civic responsibility called “jury duty”, a classic example of a unethical personal decision making.

Organizational values often surface during international business settings. The USAuto and AutoMex business venture depicts an obvious difference of organizational values pertaining to labor relation. USAuto views Mexico as a cheap labor pool and a means to cut manufacturing cost. While, on the other hand, AutoMex classifies its Mexican labor force as a viable identity within the international business community (Resource).

The world culture is a mold of millions of people structured with personal and organizational values. For example, a basic cultural value for all US citizens is the freedom of speech. But, China, a communist regime, punishes its citizenry for speaking against the government. Yet, China maintains its “status quo” as one of the largest international trade partners with the US. Also, US retailers like Wal-Mart sell products to millions of Americans every day, with made in China logos. Nevertheless, United States continues to have strong economic relations with a country that values the inhumane treatment of its citizens, a value opposite of the American dream of freedom and liberty. The US & China business ventures are considered as unethical business relations by most democratic societies.

Decision makers are faced with a hard decision between what is right and what is best for the organization. Often, business leaders make unethical decision to maintain the competitive edge over rivals and enhance Profitability. For example, several major US oil companies, took advantage of American consumers and hiked-up gas prices at the pumps, claiming that hurricane Katrina disrupted the volume of oil distributed to US territories. However, when the corporate third quarter earnings reports got published, the oil companies made billions in profits as a result of the unethical price hike at American gas stations. As a result, congressional hearings were call into cession to question the validity of the increase in consumer gas prices (Balz). Also, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, persuaded some people to take advantage of kind hearted Americans and make unethical personnel decisions to steel money mark as relief aid. People were collected aid money from concerned citizens who thought they were helping their fellow citizens in a crises situation, only to find out that the money was use for personal gain. Eventually, the Government got evolved by providing a list of legitimate agencies establish to collect hurricane relief assistance.

The world of international business has created a new platform for decision makers to create opportunities to improve and achieve a higher growth potential. Therefore, personal values, organizational values, cultural values, and ethical dilemma are factors that can not be ignored during negotiations. People have different believes and value systems that filter into their organizational and cultural decision making processes. This value system can cause ethical dilemmas to surface and hinder professional and personal negotiations. As a result, governments and private organizations have developed a strict set of ethical codes and conducts in order to live a harmonies and peaceful life on earth. A classic example of ethical codes or values developed at the highest level of authority is the Geneva Conventions, an ethical treaty directing nations how to behave during war and combat situations. Therefore, Today’s decision makers need to consider the value systems use to form the ethical guidelines at the base of international business relations use to shape the global economic enterprise.

Hey

Its me the Trudeau airport guy. Aeroport de Montreal may look like it included Mirabel, but in fact it doesn't. The only planes that land at Mirabel are cargo pleanes, so Aeroport de Montreal doesn't count them as passenger aircardt movements. Don't worry, my mom works for ADM (aeroport de montreal) and she knows that fact. So techncally, Trudeau has more aircraft movements then Calgary. Please respond. Thanks.

Where I don't see that. Besides my mom works there, and for passenger traffic it says Aeroports de Montreal. S mean more that one airport, but Trudeau is the only airport. Any way where did u get your infomration, because if you got it from the Canadian Government webiste, they constantly screw up

You just dont understand. I have proof. ADM controls two airports. Dorval and Mirabel. Mirabel is closed. They dont count any aircraft movements at Mirabel anymore, because technically its not part of their statistics. Anyway, Mirabel was opened in 2004, so thats why it says it counts for both, because last year Mirabel and Dorval were both added together. In 2005, there is only one airport. Besides, i live in Montreal, they say that stuff on the news whenever they talk about Trudeau airport and it has the same stats as the website. Montreal is the only city in Canada that had at on point 2 international airports. Thats why i can see you being confused.

I didn't say that. Mirabel opened in October 1975, and was the largest airport in the world. As of Novemeber 1st, 2004, all passenger traffic and aircraft were moved to Trudeau. They dont count cargo as aircraft movements for some reason.

Thanks. That should resolve it. I was having a bad day anyway. Sorry.

A request

Can you fix the Cameron Diaz article by reverting that guy again? He's wrecking the article.

Protected Vandalism

Hi. First, I'd like to thank you for all of your anti-vandalism efforts on the Bergen County Academies page. Due to the large amount of vandalism (from BCA students), I think you locked/protected the page. However, now, a lot of vandalism remains (particularly under "The Academies"), and most people are powerless to change it. Would it be possible to remove the nonsense so that a clean version is locked in?

Types of Two-Thirds Votes?

Hi,

I see that the Supermajority/Two-Thirds Votes article says that the Yes votes must be at least twice the amount of No votes. However, I've seen some systems where they calculate it as two-thirds of the total of Yes and No votes, with the potential of big differences in the result. What can you tell me about this? Do you know of any resources that discuss these differences?

For example, let's say 90 people are voting on Proposal A.

Yes votes = 55 No votes = 35

The method in your article indicates that 70 votes would have been required for Proposal A to pass (35 * 2 = 70), and it clearly fails by 15 votes.

However, if you use the other method, the proposal only fails by five votes. (90 * .6666 = 59.994)

I just discovered this, and I'm amazed at how different the outcome can be. Any thoughts on this issue -- and/or any additional resources -- would be much appreciated.

By the way, I tried to post something on the discussion page, but I received an notice saying an article called Supermajority doesn't exist.

Best, Eric M. em@bitstream.net

Talk:Supermajority. The article should be there now and you can add to it. Because you don't yet have an account you can't make new pages so I made a blank one. I looked at the edits and I really didn't add anything to the article just reverted some vandalism. I thinkyour best bet is to go to Wikipedia:Reference desk/Mathematics. Good luck.
