You left me a mesage saying wait out the block. What are you on about? im not blocked

I noticed you revamped the AP Psychology page after I saved it from deletion. I would recommend that you read the AfD discussion for the article. I agree with many of the delete arguments there prior to my changes, in that one person's AP Psychology class does not deserve an article on wikipedia. This is the main reason that I removed the paragraph you re-added as the introduction. Further, it has been suggested that this paragraph is copyvio from someone's high school course guide, which really wouldn't surprise me. At any rate, the paragraph is totally inaccurate. References to things like "semester B" are specific to one person's AP Psychology class, not everyones. Many high schools don't even have anything called "semester b," some AP courses are taught at schools that don't follow the semester system, and the order and exact topics covered are completely up to whoever is teaching the class. There is no strictly regulated curriculum for theses courses.

The exam, on the other hand, is a standardized test administered across the U.S. and Canada. Indeed, one does not even have to take an AP class before they take an AP exam. I've readded the general summary that I put together of what AP exams are. If you are familiar with this particular exam and would like to write a more appropriate intro paragraph that touches on the general themes of the exam that would be great. I realize the paragraph I have duplicates information available in the Advanced Placement Program article, but I think that the two-sentence summary is needed to provide proper context for the article. People from outside the U.S. and Canada often don't realize that AP refers to a specific program run by the College Board, not just a general concept. Anyone looking for more detail on the AP program can follow the link to the full article. Happy editing! —Jnk^[talk] 01:25, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. --Pilot|guy 02:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I know there's nothing in the talk page or edit history that would indicate any of this, you'd have to go out of your way to find out anyway :). If you don't feel that the two-sentence program summary is appropriate in the intro though, feel free to remove or move it down into the article. I'm not too attached to the text, I mostly put it in to help justify the notability of the topic during the AfD. —Jnk^[talk] 04:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I do not wish for any of that to be saved. I want it all gone. 75.3.15.49 02:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:TPG --Pilot|guy 02:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

That doesn't help me. Wikipedia needs to respect my decision. 75.3.15.49 03:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

This is bullshit. I have seen many people remove other people's comments from there talk page. 75.3.15.49 17:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:AGF and please direct me to these many people who are removing other's comments.--Pilot|guy 17:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

While I respect the desire to not have external links added willy-nilly to Wikipedia entries, I think that links to my site are important. EpistemeLinks is not a commercial site -- it is created by a non-profit corporation. It is the mostly widely used philosophy site on the Internet. By *not* including links to the EpistemeLinks sections you are doing users of Wikipedia a disservice. In the case of most philosophy-related entries at Wikipedia, the link to the relevant section at EpistemeLinks is likely the *most valuable* external link that could be included. So it seems wrong to exclude them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.67.134.243 (talk • contribs)

-- Tom Stone

Your link entry appears to be borderline with policy, but, in any case, I have added it back in. I am worried your entry will promote EpistemeLinks, but it does appear to provide factual information, so I will re-insert it. --Pilot|guy 23:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi... I later read through some FAQs about adding external links to Wikipedia. I also emailed Jimbo about it (who I know from long before he started Wikipedia). I'm now convinced that I was acting against the rules (because I maintain EpistemeLinks, so I shouldn't be adding links to it apparently), so I've stopped adding them. If you want to remove the link, I'll understand... though I still think the users of Wikipedia benefit from having links to the top philosophy directory on the web. :-)

I don't think this [1] is a commercial link ... the same article is available at [2]. The latter looks more professional, I'll admit. I leave the decision to replace a link to you 165.165.189.54 22:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Link re-inserted as well. --Pilot|guy 23:02, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

You removed my SF dixit link from Romanian blogosphere

That page is made entirely out of links, there's no other content I can add except more links. Please edit it and restore my link. Thank you.

Done. --Pilot|guy 00:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I remember you :)

User_talk:Pilotguy/Archive1#Welcome

how have you been finding Wikipedia? :) as you saw I um, stepped on the toes of some influential people --86.140.238.105 22:45, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Very well actually, thank you. I hope all this mess works out for you. --Pilot|guy 00:31, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Are you a pilot? ;-) Linuxbeak (drop me a line) 22:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

In a lesser sense, actually. As per my user page I am a student pilot as of now but hope to have a license by summer's end. --Pilot|guy 00:31, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I saw his bad faith nom of User Jimbo v. Willy (which I have on my userpage) and I totally agree with you. Raichu 23:00, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your help!!! Hitrish 20:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. --Pilot|guy ^{(roger that)} 01:37, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Thanks for reverting vandalism on my Discussion'a page. Much appreciated. Ahh, What is Mozilla Firefox in Wikipedia? When I hear the world Firefox, I always think about User:FireFox. Basically, I was very confused to recognize User:FireFox, or Mozilla FireFox. Anyways, Could you explain to me about Mozilla Fox in my Discussion's page? Thanks. You must reply on my talk-page.

I saw your complaint about your IRC nicks, when your connection resets and you loose a session, to kill your old irc session (or anyone that is on your name) /ns ghost USERNAME PASSWORD and you will see -NickServ- [USERNAME] has been killed in your freenode server channel. Then you can /nick over to yourself. -- ∞Wirelain 03:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

It's so nice to see so many friendly, familiar faces around! :) How are you, dear Pilot? I just dropped a little something in your mailbox - check out if you haven't already. Btw, I wish to thank you for keeping an eye on me and adding me to Esperanza's alerts - you really touched me, PG. Kisses, hope to see you around a lot! xxx Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 18:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC) PS. Isn't it time to start thinking about your RfA? ;)

You are quite welcome and you are additionally welcome to contact me by E-mail anytime. As for that Rfa, well... I think I need a few more months. Take care. You know where I am if you need anything. --Pilot|guy ^{(roger that)} 20:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Yea, I just wanted to bring it to an admins attention that the Fall Out Boy page was being vandalized, I wasn't able to edit it. It seems ok though now.

Thanks, Vaniac 21:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

That page has been protected now anyway, in the future if you need assistance contact one of these people. --Pilot|guy ^{(roger that)} 16:34, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Good luck with the exams! Here's to hoping they go well! -- Natalya 00:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, and you too. --Pilot|guy ^{(roger that)} 16:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I will now repsond to inquiries left on this talk page on your talk page. I feel it will make things easier for you guys this way. --Pilot|guy ^{(roger that)} 18:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed all of the other Esperanza members have a green letter somewhere in their signature. Well, I can't figure out how to get a green letter in my signature that links to Esperanza. Please help! I'm retarded! --EMC Shizzle Dizzle 02:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, nevermind, I got that done. But how do I make the text that links to my talk page small and in parenthesis?

For participating in my insane project and surviving, here is a present! Enjoy! Linuxbeak (drop me a line) 01:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to say thanks a lot for the Barnstar. -Whomp 22:42, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I have opened a RfC on this user and was wondering if you might certify it. Thanks. — ceejayoz ^talk 05:19, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

In a certain novel, an author claims there is an aircraft that can go at Mach 15! Is this possible? I thought most crafts can barely reach Mach 4, and one particularly powerful rocket engine can reach Mach 13. Also, is it possible to travel at 60000ft, from Boston to Switzerland in 1 hour? 60000ft is about 18.2km....that's somewhere in the stratosphere. Is it practical for a pilot to transport his passenger at that altitude? Also, the passenger is not wearing any special pilot gear, just his jacket and there's a phone in the plane, which he uses to speak to someone during his flight. Please clarify which is possible and impossible. Thanks. Do visit my user page too! (^_^) -Velen117 13:52, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Any advice? I'm not an expert, I'm only trying to make the article better. I'm not credit-possesive if you want you can take which ever part of the work you wish. I just realized most editors are scared of stub for some reason, so right now I'm only going to create sub-articles for the "main" episodes.--T-man, the wise 21:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC). You can edit the new articles after me, supervise me, we can split work or wahtever you like.--T-man, the wise 21:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The helpme I issued is related to the image in the infobox for Haines City, Florida I uploaded it and when I put it into the infobox it doesn't work. Could you try to fix it? --No1lakersfan 22:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

If you think so, please, as a huge personal favor, could you help me by saying so in the List of Justice League episodes (LoJLe) talk page, other users are giving me a real hard time... partly because I'm not that bright at all when it comes to expres my intentions. It's not on purpose, but I'm sort a jackass ;S--T-man, the wise 02:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

It's looking great. Anonymous_anonymous 11:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for replying and thanks for the tip! Hope that you will get to be administrator! d(^_^) -Velen117 14:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to thank you for helping me out. Nisanu 22:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Pilotguy/Archive4, thank you for voting in my RFA which failed eventually at a result of (91/51/8). I do not plan to run for adminship until a later date. Once again, I would like to thank you for voting. --Terence Ong _{(talk | contribs)} 03:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello Pilotguy, My point was, how do I archive the pages, so I won't need to call for help on the matter anymore. Cheers, Jean-Paul 18:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Jean-Paul 18:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, I saw that you have this nifty online/offline status indicator, and I was wondering 1)if I could use the same code on my user page, and 2)how do you get that to work? Thanks!--Tachikoma 01:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the status indicator to my user page!--Tachikoma 03:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I have just been taking a look at User talk:Reywas92 and I noticed that you left a warning about blatant vandalism of the United Nations page on 26 April 2006. Unfortunately, you appear to have left the warning against the wrong user as shown here. Could you please return to User talk:Reywas92 and remove your warning for them? This will avoid anyone accusing them of trying to hide a history of vandalism in the future. Thanks. Road Wizard 18:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

My Request for Adminship ended, and you didn't jinx it (contrary to User:Kilo-Lima's thoughts) -- it was successful by a tally of 54/6/1! If you find me doing anything wrong, please let me know. Thanks again, Ian Manka Talk to me! 01:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my userpage the other day. I hadn't even noticed it had been tampered with. --Chris Griswold 16:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Depite my earlier misgivings, early congrats to you, buddy. - CrazyRussian talk/email 14:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've posted question on Village Pump (Techincal) it's regarding redirects. --Wisden17 21:39, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, sorry problem has cleared, I was just being a bit impatient. There must have been a slight lag in the redirect working. Is that normal, I haven't noticed that before when I've created redirects? --Wisden17 21:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

You were waiting for the seconds to tick by there, weren't you :) Congratulations --22:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Stop clogging up my watchlist with RFA thanks messages!

I obviously don't look at RFA enough, or you would have had my vote too. Congratulations anyway. --GraemeL ^(talk) 22:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I didn't get a proper chance to vote on your adminship. :( Congratulations, though. :) --Ixfd64 22:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

After an impressive showing of community support, you're our newest admin. I recommend being conservative with the new tools, especially at first, and re-reading the relevant policy before acting. Have fun with the new tools, and use them for good! - Taxman ^Talk 22:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Many congratulations on your RFA! CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 22:35, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats. May you wield the mop with equanimity and fairness. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 22:48, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats from me too. But the final tally wasn't 119 support, it was 120 support, sorry I was the ast supporter and I forgot to tally. :-) — The King of Kings 23:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem! It was nothing really. :-) — The King of Kings 04:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, congrats on your RfA! I was so glad to see the overwhelming support; you really deserved the mop. —Mets501 (talk) 23:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! :) G.He 23:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats on your adminship, my dear Pilot! Ironic that I mentioned it just a few days before you were actually nominated, and you wanted to wait a few more months, isn't it? You see, the community thinks otherwise, and that shows you truly are both modest and thoughtful. Now enjoy that mop! ;) A great kiss, -- Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 23:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

My pleasure, and congratulations! Jayjg ^(talk) 23:51, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats for your successful RfA which placed you in WP:100. :)

thanks for unblocking me. I was going insane without wikipedia.--sparticus!!! 18:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Please see this article and my comments on the talk page. Seemed heartless to slap a tag on it, but perhaps I should have had bigger cojones? Advice from an experienced user (never mind admin!) welcomed. --Dweller 21:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

It appears that 64.12.116.198 was last blocked at 15:52, for only fifteen minutes, and his last vandalism was at 23:54. Also, the talk page vandalism was introduced by 66.92.170.227, who is unblocked, and apparently the same user from a different AOL proxy. John254 00:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

What are you doing.. stop censoring my posts please. He blocked me unjustifiably - i was archiving my talkpage. -- max rspct leave a message 00:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

See reply > [3] -- max rspct leave a message 00:36, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

How is this a personal attack? :

"If you paid attention to other admins.. you will have noticed that others give short blocks for much more. Anyway you seem to admit that i was archiving all along. So what happend? You banned me for 31 hours unjustifiably and because you saw me talking about my clean record on 3RR noticeboard. You wanted to give me my first one. I waSN't deleting warnings - archiving.. and i got banned as you never waited or paused for thought.."
