Homer or Marge's cousin is Bart's cousin as well?[edit]

Although technically they are first cousins once removed, the term "uncle" is frequently used to refer to an elder member of the family. I doubt that the show was trying to be canonical, and just from my own experience, I've never seen a cousin of a child's father or mother referred to by the child as a cousin "once removed," just as an aunt or uncle.--Folksong 02:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words, Sean and happy editing at Wikipedia.--Folksong 19:14, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relatives of Harry Potter[edit]

Hi. I'm wondering why you reverted my edits to Relatives of Harry Potter, saying, "Corrected possible years of James Potter's birth". What distinction do you see between "born in the early 2000s" and "born between 2000 and 2005"?
Also, "James is not the son of the previous James Potter and so is not James Potter Jr or James Potter II" is not correct. The kid's the grandson of the previous James Potter, so he can't be 'James Potter Jr', but he could be 'James Potter II'. Almost certainly isn't, but he could be.

Hi Seansinc, cheers for talking this over instead of just engaging in an edit war, as many editors would have done. I didn't notice the Crouch or Longbottom until you mentioned it, but I'll go and remove them as well. It pains me to do so, as common sense tells us they're related, but consensus around here seems to be that we can't assume even the most obvious stuff. :( faithless (speak) 08:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey BlastOButter...

Nice try on getting Dumbledore's sexuality a more prominent mention. I kind of lost interest in the whole debate after restoring this part, which I think is enough when combined with the mention in the Grindelwald section.

On the less editorial side, may I comment that it's pretty funny that the "Dumbledore" topic is number 69 on your talk page.

Also, that's cool about each of your names having 6 letters. The same is true of Ronald Wilson Reagan. (Not to compare you to him in any other way.)  :)

Seansinc 23:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, oh well, though as I said on the talk page I've actually come to agree at least somewhat. And yes I suppose that is pretty funny about my name... I'm named after my father, who was named after my grandfather, so I'm the third; that name's been around for a while... -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 00:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3RR[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Albus Dumbledore. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

Dumbledore vote[edit]

Hi. All the arguing over where we should discuss Dumbledore's sexual orientation is proving useless. We need to work out just who is in favour of what and a vote seems the only way to go about it. I'm asking for your opinion since you had a say in the general argument. Thank you. asyndeton 10:50, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's OK. And it's probably the most heated discussion I've ever seen too; it's amazing how worked up a person can get over where to put a sentence ;) asyndeton 15:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Old matter on contraction[edit]

Hi. I've just made a belated contribution here which (in part) disagrees with your view. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 07:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 19:14, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good work on defending Maize[edit]

Hi Sean, I wonder if you are not seeing all the possible tools for reverting vandalism. Not sure that I know all the tricks either (on one computer that I use the [rollback [VANDAL]] option doesn't appear, perhaps because browser options aren't properly set). [rollback [VANDAL]] should appear if you are looking at the difference between the last two changes, and you should be able to warn the user with the TW menu ->Warn. Anyway, that was good work defending Maize! Nadiatalent (talk) 18:06, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Secular humanism[edit]

Please don't make changes like the ones you made at Secular humanism. I suggest you read MOS:ENGVAR, if you haven't already done so. Spellings like "organisation" are perfectly correct and normal in British English, which is what I use. In an international encyclopedia, either American or British English can be used equally well; there is a need for consistency within articles, but it can be extremely irritating if one author's text is changed to a different - equally correct - spelling unnecessarily. I won't bother to revert you - that would be childish - but please bear this in mind in the future. Thanks. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that; I didn't realize that was a BrE/AmE distinction. You can revert the changes if you want. Seansinc (talk) 13:34, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No probs - next time I read through the article I'll check for consistency. Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:53, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Bomer Infobox photo consensus discussion[edit]

Hi. Your opinion is requested in this discussion.

If you're in an area that was affected by Hurricane Sandy, and are unable to reply, I hope that you have not suffered too greatly, and my best wishes go out to you. Nightscream (talk) 22:47, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
