Phew! Well ... :)
Thank you so much for the award you presented on my talk page yesterday, and for the kind words you spoke in your essay (which is very insighful, BTW). I'm not sure if I deserve it, though. I'm no saint, y'know! However, I'm honoured by what you said. Thank you so much! - Alison ☺ 19:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Chris, it's the same thing that happens with just about everyone who goes around saying "booga booga here are the masonic secrets" They have an axe to grind, which is why they always cite from Christian antimasonic webpages, until they get told it's unverifiable. I have a hard time assuming good faith in the face of that, time and again.-- Vidkun 19:48, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Your recent spree has me to beleive that your additions were truly in bad faith. I dont care what you post around, however you have lost my trust in this project. Please do not disrupt this project to make a point thanks. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Welcome back, Chris! I've been busy lately and wasn't able to give proper attention to your recent distress. It's great to know that you overcome it and are back from your wikibreak. I totally agree with your essay and I was most surprised and humbled to see that I was mentioned there in the kindest terms. Thank you so much and, once again, welcome back! :-) Count on me for anything that you might need. Best regards, Hús ö nd 00:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I notice you protected this archive page, with the comment "preserving status or archive". Protection of archive pages, even in userspace, doesn't seem to be mentioned in the protection policy, and further more doesn't seem to be common practise. (Put it this way, out of the 30,000+ archive pages we have, right now this is the only one that is protected). "Preserving the status" of an archive seems a little unnecessary when page histories are available if the record is in doubt, and vandalism of archives is an extremely rare occurence and easily caught if it does happen. As there doesn't seem to be any vandalism or anything else that might make the protection necessary, could you possibly reconsider it? Thanks – Gurch 03:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Chrislk02, I never called Jzg a vandal, I pointed out a blanked page that could have been vandalism. I used the phrase "possible vandalism". I have been editing here for over two years and a consistent observation is that a few admins are supercilious and hypercritical(NOT Jzg). I hope that they eventually come down to earth sometime soon and learn to see things from the view of an editor.-- Fahrenheit451 01:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I am totally mistified why you proposed the Barton H. Watson wiki entry for deletion. Literally hundreds of newspaper articles have been written about this case in half a dozen countries around the world. I don't know what "article about a questionaly notable cyber criminal" means. Are you saying it is "questionable" whether or not Watson is "notable" enough to have a wiki entry? That is a pretty heavy value judgment to make. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Camfam ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

Chris, could you check out User talk:Biggspowd? He placed a PROD on Cultural effects of The A-Team, a page I created and baby-sit. After looking at some of his contributions, I'm inclined to think he is either a sneaky vandal, or using PRODs to make points. I removed the notice on that basis, but would like a second opinion. If you feel I'm wrong in deleting the notice, for whatever reason, I'll resore it myself. But if this guy is user Wiki proceedures for vandalism, I don't want to let that slide either. - BillCJ 06:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Chris, In doing research in NASA archives for KH series of satellites, I found the correct name for MOL, in a couple of places. I'm planning on moving/redirect the current aritcle to Manned Orbital Laboratory. I've place 2 ref/links to my finds. Unless their is a major objection, I will make the move in a few hours, unless you would like to do the honors. There is a current article in NASA about 2 old MOL suits being found, even the writer of that article made the same mistake. This seems to be a common mistake in a few sites on the internet. Especially those sites that quote Wikipedia. Your comments, thanks. LanceBarber 21:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I reported this user 30 minutes ago to AIV, and he's still vandalizing away. Could you block him? Thanks. The Evil Spartan 18:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I have done some great things, and I'm not having very much barnstars. I've got two. Nothing more. And not the barnstars, but the respect of other users are the greatest award for me. I've got over 10 articlsthat I made, and none of 'em are stubs. My did you know- nomination is an award for me, and I'm proud of every image I've uploaded. Still, I agree,; youare right at this point. I'll no longer give the barnstar-idear a deathstrike by handling 'em over for nothing; I'll handle 'em to those users who have thousends of edits an none of 'em.

Can you give me the location where you got Image:Supriatna, 1967.JPG. Did you take the picture of the individual yourself? If you did not, it is quite possible the image is not in the public domain. When tagging images as being in the public domain, please give a rationale for such tagging. I.E., you took the photo or created the work yourself, the copyright has expired, it is ineligible for copyright, etc etc. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 12:20, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
The copyright has expired, about two years ago. And yes, I've pictured the amn myself, when visiting Indonesia with some of my family. It now is for free use, and anyone is permtted to use the image for educational progress and goals, in order to give the world knowledge of this mostly respectable man; -)-(-H- (|-|) -O-)-(- 12:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I took it in the summer of 1967, in Indonesia, when meeting the rebel in persona. And yes, I do release this image into public-domain. In case it case it'll be used for nonsense, or things insulting the honourable rebel himself, I'll consider making the image-summary more specific. I don't want the image to be used for things which not help the remorial of Supriata, or help it in a false way. I want to be perfectly clear about this. The image's-rights ain't mine any longer, but still I would be sad when someone uses the image in an insulting manner. When people think twice before adding the image, and only add it to usefull-pages, I think those reasonable editors should be able to use the image freely. BTW, thanks for yur interest in this manner. -)-(-H- (|-|) -O-)-(- 12:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, I won't remove the image. I have trust in the editrs of this site, and even when the wrong people use this image, I'll still have it here. But I dont think pople shall do that.

Apologies for re-posting this user for AIV - I thought my original posting had not worked.
However, I am afraid I do not understand why you do not block this guy. He may not have made any edits today, but he was on a final warning only yesterday and has already received many final warnings in the past, so it seems clear he has no intention of making a useful contribution. Drc79 20:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris,
First, I’m about to gently criticize you, so it’s only fair to preface all this by saying "thank you for doing the thankless task of dealing with AIV."
You’re removing a LOT of IP reports either because their final warning is a day old, or because they haven’t vandalized in the last 30 minutes to 1 hour. Now, if you’re doing that because you’re the only one on AIV right now and you’re swamped, I can understand, and I’ll go away. But if, day in and day out, you think that AIV is only for vandals that have been given a full set of warnings, today, and are vandalizing right now even as we speak, you’re basically saying that an IP vandal gets a “free” 2-3 vandal edits every day. This isn’t a rare, theoretical type of vandal; I revert them every day.
If you don’t think these reports belong on WP:AIV, where would you suggest I send them? Is AP:ANI really the place (seems like it would get swamped fast). Or, per ReyBrujo should I just live with this, and not bother to warn and report this kind of vandal? -- barneca ( talk) 20:48, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
With all due respect Chris, IP 72.9.210.246 on May 10 (today) and in the last 24 hours has 16 edits, all which are identified as vandalism. Every tracked edit by this IP which is only in the month of May can be identified as vandalism. It's very obviously not a shared IP. In fact this one user is on the verge of violation of the WP:3RR for the article of Fannie Lou Hamer for persistent wiping / vandalism and has been warned many times. Are there no consequences for vandalism after multiple warnings? Having been on Wikipedia a long time fighting vandalism, I know that not to be true. I trust you'll do the right thing. Mkdw talk 20:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Chris, I'm not able to explain User:Saburny that we are using flag templates, not hardcoded images. All country flags and most of their derivatives has its own templates. I'm reverting his edits with proper comments and I've posted message on his talk page, but I see no effect. Please look at Mitsubishi J2M article and you'll see what I'm talking about. I don't want edit war but his edits are kind of vandalism, especially if he doesn't add valuable content. You may answer here, I'm watching your talk page.

Despite numerous warnings (including 2 final ones), he continues to execute page moves of wrestlers without any discussion or consent from other editors to whatever he feels they should be under (whether it be their first ring name or most current name). Could you please block this person for their ongoing behavior?

I have removed the {{ prod}} tag from Auburndale Elementary School (Kentucky), which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, proposed deletion is disallowed on articles that have previously been de-{{ prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{ prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Chris, I'm not sure are you watching Template talk:Country data Japan. Last edit made by User:Saburny brings kind of ultimatum:
If a source is not submitted by May 18 2007 (UTC), I delete indication of a Kyokujitsuki.
I don't understand such behaviour and such ultimatum, is it possible to make such demands on Wikipedia? It seems that this particular user doesn't understand idea of flag templates at all. I hope you'll watch his actions because deleting part of template will break several dozens of articles. Regards, Piotr Mikołajski 14:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris - I hope this finds you well! You helped me out before, I wonder if you can advise on what to do again. We have an Anon editor on the Kevin Costner article, who keeps reverting edits. His purpose in this is to return to the article a piece of text which suggest Costner's father is a German American, with a reference to a TIME magazine article. If you look at the talk page, you can see the history - the last German relative came over in 1800. Another editor Jack O'Lantern has been battling this Anon for a while, and I see from his edit record that he has also become involved with the article German American. The article text of the version that Anon doesn't like includes the fact that Costner has German/Irish/Cherokee ancestory, so I can't see quite what the issue is. We have so far tried reverting, and adding additional information to the article, and adding test1 scripts to each of his IP addresses - but the Anon still keeps reverting to an older version. The Anon IP addresses (all with similar edit records) are of the form 84.140.XXX.XXX, which all on an IP trace orginate to a ing from a Deutsche Telekom owned IP address. My guess is that the address rotates as the Anon is subscriber to DT's Broadband ISP service - so it works much like AOL's rotating IP address for thei subscribers. What do you suggest? I'm pretty much out of ideas as the moment, and don't want to get into an edit war. Thanks for any help you can provide. Best Regards, - Trident13 20:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I notice that you just gave this IP a 24 hour block. This IP has made about 50 edits in the last month, all of which appear to be vandalism. The pattern is one of persistently re-introducing vandalism as soon as it is reverted, and a complete disregard of warnings. The IP has already had eight blocks, one of which was for a week and one for a month. In this context, a block of 24 hours is frankly derisory. Can I suggest that you consider these factors and issue a block which reflects the amount of disruption and waste of productive time which someone like this causes? Thanks. -- Stephen Burnett 19:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Looking for a little direction on this guy. I reported his IP to WP:AIV but didn't get the help I was looking for.

And earthly change from pain to pain,
And lost, and ready to despair,
Thy kind voice calls me back again
Oh my true friend, I am not lone
While thou canst speak with such a tone!
And thou art ever there to bring,
Still in evening's most quiet hour
With never-failing thankfulness I
welcome thee, benignant power,
Sure solacer of all my cares
And brighter hope when hope despairs.

Hi, Justill45 is requesting to have his indefinite autoblock reviewed. It was triggered by using the same IP as Davidjeter whom you blocked with block message "voa". I'm sorry, I am new to this whole admin thing, but I have no idea what "voa" means, so I figured I would just contact you. Is that code for a Voice of All checkuser result? If so, clearly the autoblock should remain unless some major shared IP is hit. Anyway, I thought I would just ask. Cheers. -- Selket Talk 14:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Chris asking that my article on the
Consolidated Liberator I stop getting the vandalism it has been getting -
1) My article has more citations and/or footnotes then a majority of the other aviation article (many, many more)
2) As far as Nobility
Just because I write and I feel that a cronological oration is easier to read and understand then a long verbosity test driven article is no reason to for a deletion. Right now, just getting started with this history (have more to add plus more photo's) but if the editors are going to chop it to bits because they do not understand it then why bother - This is also the reason I want it removed from the aviation projects - feel too many editors do not like detailed histories (and since wickipedia is about information).

I am in danger of violating 3RR thanks to a pointy disruptive user, Becky-RE-fan. She keeps inserting week by week non notable events, then when upset that it can't be included, she deleted something notable (the start of a major feud) claiming it too wasn't notable. This is incredibly disruptive and as I said, pointy, and is irking me to no end. Do you think you could watch the page and warn this user if need be? They are in danger of violating 3RR too. Thanks. Bmg916 Speak Sign 14:53, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chris, sorry to bother you. Can you please have a look at User talk:Wcwmag and review my communications with the user, who has four times (once as an IP) added what I would regard as hate-speech to the Jim Torbett article, specifically the allegation that Jock Stein knew of Torbett's abuse but protected him. If you know anything about sectarianism in Scotland, you'll know how inflammatory a statement that is. I believe it is also highly unencyclopedic, but it may be that I have been unnecessarily harsh.

Big suggestion please, please - organize table by builder (ie block number and serial number) like what I orignally had. Right now, table looks and is very disorganized, if done then looking up individual surviving aircraft would be much easier for the historian.

Thank you for reverting the trolling on my talk page. I saw your message on Phaedriel's talk page about a sock master, and indeed, there is one. Do you remember about two months ago, about a couple of hours after my RfA ended, you, Ryan, Alison, and Newyorkbrad were all saying that you were sorry about the unsuccess of the RfA? Well, as I was trying to respond to you all, a user called "Owner of Boats" posted a message to my talk page asking about why I revert vandalism on Natalie Erin's user page. You blocked Owner of Boats for vandalism. Since Owner of Boats was the first user to start this "Acalamari loves" business, I am sure that they are the sock puppet master here. This was funny at first, but with it continuing two months later and becoming an almost daily event...it has become boring now. Acalamari 16:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi this is kind of embarrassing. I think you are a sock puppeteer. I sent messages to other admins already. Here's what the message looks like:
I suspect that user:Chrislk02 is a sock puppeteer. He has currently banned 3 users for being sock puppets. I checked their contributions, and I suspect, that those 3 banned users are sock puppets for Chrislk02. All of their contributions has been vandalism, and they have all been reverted by user:Chrislk02. The vandals vandalism, are all on the same pages!!! The vandalism, were all somewhat simliar. The banned users are:
I think that Chrislk02 has been making accounts, vandalizing with them and reverting the vandalism with his admin account in order to make him look good. He thought people wouldn't figure his scheme, because he blamed the sock puppeting on a banned user, and the vandalism was small.
So........ Don't bann me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must do what is right! If is means death. Uh, have a good day!

Frankly, I would have expected someone comfortable with handing out civility lessons to himself avoid characterizing other editors as "idiots" and "pompous asses" for citing a (demonstrated) lack of maturity, recent vandalism, very few edits, no demonstrated breadth of editing and refusal to answer questions about one's admin candidacy as reasons to oppose that candidacy. Without going into pointless discussion of why you feel such characteristics are desirable in admins, such behavior in an admin is both unseemly and discredits any admonishments he might feel emboldened to deliver.

Maybe I am wrong, but I thought it was common (read: unwritten [or maybe even written somewhere] guideline/policy) that someone participating in a discussion like RFCN or AFD, etc. was not supposed to close said discussion. Is that not true? Don't care which way you closed it, by the way. Please answer here. Mahalo. -- Ali'i 21:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Wouyld you tell your friends to lay off telling me you apoligized? You didn't and you know it. And you continued personally attacking me after your so-called apology. You want me to shut up, it's obvious. Well, get your friends off my back and you can have your wish, you and the ChicagoPimps can have Wikipedia. I can't believe how nasty you and your friends have been in supporting your "apology." Don't ever apologize to me again, I don't deserve to be attacked like I'm vermin and treated like crap just because I was offended by a user name and tried to use policy to do something. Don't respond, just leave me alone. KP Botany 00:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

This is in regards to
blatant and gross vandalism that I reverted on her talk page and the email following it that she sent me
[2]
I wouldn't need luck is so many people didn't have to defend your actions by attacking me. Stop watching my talk page, there are plenty of other editors who can do that. The only reason the comment was posted in the first place, like all the insults you and your friend hurled at me, is because of your continued presence in the vacinity of my talk page. You leave, and it won't happen again, because no one will need to attack me to defend your inexcusable behaviour.

In other words get over all the past insults you allowed everyone to hurl at me on AN/I, but if anyone does any more they get scolded? So does that mean Phoeba gave you the okay that she got it harrassing me out of her system?
I love this, you define the playing field entirely. You remove my remarks (and yes you did, not matter how many times you say you didn't), call me a troll, close the argument, run out and pat your buddies on the back for the great save, allow everyone to attack and harrass me on AN/I (like Phoeba was allowed to harrass me relentlessly for a definition of Pimp, and continue the discussion, while ExplodingBoy mentioned it once and you told him to stop), then get that closed to shut me up there also, now you offer if I concede that only you have the right to define the playing field (throwing your administratorship around again), you'll what? Undo your allowing me to be harrassed by those agreeing with you, undo calling me a badgerer, undo letting me know that pimps can contribute to Wikipedia but my contributions are worthless?
Is there any end to your inability to see how one sided and biased you are? Is there any point at which you will actually read what people said to me, that you allowed them to continue saying, that you allowed people, as long as they were harassing me, to continue battering me off topic to get my complaint thrown off AN/I?
I didn't bring it up at Ivo's thing. Someone else did, then I got told that any defense of me is bizarre, and you ddin't raise any hackles about that.
Every insutling thing said to me, every bait thrown at me, you allowed, simply because it took the pressure off of your adminsitrative actions. To now suggest that since you've succeeded in allowing people to harass me at AN/I, call me over zealous, call me other names, accuse me of badgering, accuse me of forum shopping, call any support of me bizarre, not what you've succeeded in all that, you're going to what? Offer me an olive branch? What exactly do you want me to do with it?

I saw your edits to this article and Saintpaulia. I had considered nominating this article for deletion as it seems to be little more than an advertisement for a commercial operation, and not an especially notable one at that. In particular linking to it from the Saintpaulia article smacks of advertising--there are plenty of people selling african violets out there, and based on this edit they could all reasonably expect to be listed in the article!

Listen. Prescriptivism-vs-descriptivism aside, the primary meaning of "pimp" is still synonymous with "slave-holder". I have friends who are former prostitutes. They speak with anger and disgust of the horrors of the pimp. "ChicagoPimp" is an excellent user, but his username is as unacceptable as would be "Grammar Nazi".
On this, I am unyielding. No pimps allowed, and no NSDAP allowed either. DS 04:39, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Chris, it seems Java does mean well, but he has damaged the CFL page [3]! I asked him not to do the page, but he did it anyway yeaterday, and then made him aware of it in case he hadn't seen the notice before the edit (which I assume he did not see it). Now today he does the same thing to the same page. How many other pages is he damaging in this way? If if can't be careful after being made aware of a particular page - twice! - I doubt he's paying attention on any others. THanks. - BillCJ 19:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
i left this same message on Dragonfly's talk page but wanted you to have a copy as well.....
i have made the username change request to move from ChicagoPimp to LurkingInChicago for the good of the greater project. now that the username will be changed, the issue should fade quickly. that said, after a few days of cool reflection for everyone, i would like to initiate a discussion with you and other affected admins regarding assuming good faith, summary blocking after being told i would not have to change a username, allowing a single user to dominate an issue on multiple policy discussion pages, allowing a discussion/debate to continue after an admin decision has been reached, personal attacks, etc. there have been strong words levied from both sides of the issue which degraded into multiple personal attacks with an obvious lack of cooperation and civility. admins would not be the primary subject of the conversation, but rather the userbase as a whole. as you noted on my talk page, i have been cooperative and polite, and i would like to explore how we can work together to encourage all users to do the same with the end result being an improved user experience.

I did find this picture in the Azarakhsh article. That may be where Kermanshahi got it from. It was uploaded by Jan Gadimzadeh as Image:IRIAF-Azarakhsh.jpg. Looking at his talk page, I'm not sure about assuming good faith that he's the creator of all of the images he has uploaded. His Commons talk page also raises some questions.

Chris, I don't know if you get involved in deleting articles but, if so, could you take a look at the article Nathan Delaney and see if you can ramp up the speed on dealing with my speedy delete prod. I think it is a clear case of pure vandalism.
FYI - Given that I assume the subject is a "living person" (probably a schoolmate of the creator) I suppose BLP can be invoked. I blanked the article after six days of no action on the prod (not very speedy in my opinion, it probably would have gone faster to do a full AFD nom.). this was what the article looked like before my prod and blanking.
Thanks, Blueboar 14:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
That article is the subject of why my talk is being trolled. Thanks for the reverts. This user is violating WP:POINT since some of their edits to the same article were removed by multiple editors of WP:PW as week by week (which is not encyclopedic and would cluster up the articles with way to much non-notable info). So he is deleting this notable info (the only editor who is) as week by week because he is mad (my assumption) that his edits didn't stand, so I guess in his mind, none should.

Chris, could you please semi-protect the Eurofighter Typhoon? There is an ongoing dispute with an unregistered user with multiple IPs who refuses to back down from his position, and is engaging in multiple reverts. SInce he uses multiple IPs, from at least 3 different ranges, simply blocking him will probably not work. There are several lengthy discussions on the talk page, so I won't repeat them here. Do what you feel is best in the matter, and that's good enough for me. Thanks again. - BillCJ 19:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I am the user who keeps changing the entry. Frankly Bill you seem more concerned about proper "procedure" than getting the facts straight.
Chris I would suggest you read the discussion and the reasoning behind my changes. In a nutshell I removed claims that needed citations and spelled out ther reason's why the F-22 should not be included in the comparable AC section. The facts speak for themselves. Protect the entry but it should have been protected prior to the changes of the 19th.

I've added links. He has indeed violated 3RR. Exploding Boy 20:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I added them to show that he has a history of edit warring on this page. The fact that the last time he reverted was yesterday is irrelevant. He's continuing the exact behaviour of reverting without discussion or explanation. Nearly all his most recent edits to that page have been restoring his preferred version of one particular paragraph. Allowing a little time to pass before making exactly the same reverts doesn't mean it's not edit warring. How long will this be allowed to continue, exactly? This user has an obvious pattern of disruptive edits -- indeed, you acknowledged as much yourself when you protected the page. Exploding Boy 20:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, clearly this user is banking on exactly that type of response. I've tried repeatedly to engage him in discussion; it hasn't worked. I've reverted only after providing rationale for doing so. Quite frankly, I don't see why this user should be permitted to get away with his disruptive behaviour simply because he's savvy enough to just avoid violating 3RR. He very obviously deserves blocking, since his first three blocks haven't had the desired effect (ie: stopping the disruptive behaviour), but at the absolute minimum he should receive a warning. There is absolutely no reason for him to restore his preferred version of the paragraph, other than it's the one he likes better. We don't allow users to revert factual, good faith edits willy nilly just because they happen to prefer a different way of presenting the same material. Exploding Boy 20:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
It's like the lunatics are running the asylum here.... I'm really just flabbergasted. Either you're for some reason in support of this user or you're just unwilling or unable to see the problem. this version is simply better written. But that's not even the issue so much as the fact that this user is persisting in restoring his own preferred version only because it's the version he likes better. Frankly, I find it somewhat insulting that you clearly haven't bothered to research the issue properly. If you had you would see that I have been attempting discussion all along; this user simply doesn't care. He goes right ahead and does whatever he wants anyway. As a recent example, he removed another request for him to stop edit warring from his talk page without responding.
And by the way, my previous 3RR was during removal of vandalism. Like you, that admin didn't bother to properly research the issue.
As for your most recent comment, above, are you now telling me that it's inappropriate for a user to edit an article? Because it certainly seems that way when you say "you were the one who came in and started it." As I told TWTTATL, the relative age of an article has no bearing; any article can be improved. Exploding Boy 21:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you. My concern, as I've said, is this user's disruptive behaviour. I've asked him to stop it, but I'm not acting as an admin here since I edit the page. He needs to be issued a warning so that when he engages in similar behaviour in future, he can be given another block. Exploding Boy 21:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, that's clearly not the case. He's been reported twice for his behaviour on this article (by me), and he hasn't even received a warning when clearly a warning is warranted. He's not making an effort to enhance the article, he's repeatedly and unnecessarily restoring his own preferred version, refusing to discuss his changes, and reverting without comment and without reason. How much more disruptive must he become before he receives a warning? Exploding Boy 21:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
As I've explained repeatedly, it wasn't "future ability to be disruptive," it was current, ongoing disruptive behaviour. We'll see if this new 72-hour block has any effect. Exploding Boy 22:37, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chris, While I definitely appreciate your intervention in the matter, the table that is under dispute has been removed and the article is protected. By doing this it is taking the side of User:XGustaX which is precisely what he wants. He does not want the material in the article. I found the materials using google scholar which says they publish peer reviewed scholarly information. The link to the article in question is here, and here on the National Institute of Health official government website. He does not agree with the results of the study, so he wants them deleted. He claims his alternative source from 2001 disputes this [9] and I am agreeable to us using both sources in the article, on one side a claim I put forward and on the other hand a counterclaim that he puts forward and then let any readers decide which they think is true. He does not accept this comprise as he wants the results of the study to disappear. I hope you would then consider placing both sources in the article as an acceptable compromise. This version has both claims [10] Muntuwandi 22:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I think we can work this out. I want to work this out. I have left a Compromise on the talk page. Basically says we keep the African DNA studies and remove the Native American studies. XGustaX 02:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
No, they are from different sources. Yes, that is the case. One gets results the other does not. It explains why also others do not get the same results, pretty much. I think we can compromise tonight Muntuwandi. XGustaX 02:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Well judging by Muntuwandi's last post on the talk pages, he doesnt seem he wants to compromise, he is still dening all my sources even after all this time. I am really trying here Chrislk02. XGustaX 03:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, He is still denying my sources. Please read the talk page to see what you think. XGustaX 13:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I think you are incorrect there. [12] this is the orginal source. If you click on Jonthan Marks it lists a few of the people who helped, it is clearly peer reviewed. That is why I think it should be removed, this source as another user on the talk page has pointed out is a good source. I am willing to compromise but just putting both sources isnt a compromise because I had to right to put the source there all along with no ones permission. XGustaX 14:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
No, no You stated before that "FOr both of you, is there conflicting data in each study? I.E>, does one study get results the other does not get?" And that is the case here. So I do not understand why you are saying that I explained to you earlier all of this. "No, they are from different sources. Yes, that is the case. One gets results the other does not. It explains why also others do not get the same results, pretty much. I think we can compromise tonight Muntuwandi. XGustaX 02:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)" XGustaX 14:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Nevermind. This is pointless. Thank you. XGustaX 14:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
It does it says:
All those genes and markers are a part of Muntuwandi's source. XGustaX 15:02, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Ok now that we have that out of the way. I am willing to compromise. Since I cannot find much on African DNA testing and I am willing to compromise, with what I said before we should do. XGustaX 15:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Aren't we trying to compromise here? As I said before Keep the African DNA studies remove the Native American ones. Since the article is about genetics this should be a good edition to how Genetic testing for at least for Native Americans is not reiable. We cannot seem to agree upon adding my sources, so I think this is fair. [19] XGustaX 15:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Then why Do I feel you have been attacking me from the beginning and are not being very neutral about this. I provide the information you wanted to prove it was related and reiable to what we are talking. I purposed a Compromise, I have respectfully tried to talk to Muntuwandi and i still get treated this way? XGustaX 15:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I tried to add the Native American DNA testing section and he could still not accept certain things the article made clear. Here is the Link Native American DNA testing section I made. [20] XGustaX 15:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I do not see him removing anythere, actually adding more in? he also trying to make your addition more NPOV. I see nothing wrong with that edit. He is not trying to remove anything there however edit and add more? I am confused as to what your problem is then? -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC) He removed the recent discovery part. XGustaX 15:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
You need to check to left of that in the yellow section it said before he removed it and in bold red letters what he removed, it said "Recently in the scienific community, it has been discovered that DNA testing to prove either some Native American Ancestry or even tribal affliation is flawed. The reason for being it once thought that most Native Americans have certain markers that are unique to other "races". However it must be stated, that all the Native American Markers are in fact found in many people all around the world. "
He does indeed
[21] My version to left and his to the right on the very bottom of the Native American DNA section.
XGustaX 16:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry if you misunderstood me. I am well aware that he did not removed the section. I said he removed a key part of the of "it has been discovered that" that part. XGustaX 16:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Ugh, Why I am bothering? Now John agrees that his source is not peer reviewed. XGustaX 16:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
As I said. I had the right to add my section since it was sourced anyways I do not see that as a compromise. If it were up to me I would remove all Genetic studies from the article. But I am willing to compromise get some lose some as they say. XGustaX 17:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I am confused what you are asking me exactly? Are you saying Sources do not matter in this case I am confused? XGustaX 17:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

You recently (well, several months ago) edited service ceiling, which i just proposed be merged with absolute ceiling. Almost nobody edits either of these pages, so I'm telling you as a recent editor. Pdbailey 01:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris.
You asked me to evaluate some sources. With the proviso that my degree was in Chemistry and my post-graduate diploma was in Education, and therefore I have no specialist claim to certified knowledge in the area of race and genetics (although I do keep up with developments in this fascinating area of science), let's look at them.
It was difficult to evaluate the sources without knowing the context of the argument you were (presumably) having about them. I hope this is nonetheless of some benefit to you; please let me know if I can be any further help. -- John 16:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, what was this block in regards to? People are guessing at User talk:TheManWhoLaughs that it was an edit to Monarch [23], but there doesn't seem to be a pre-existing dispute over that issue. If that's it, we can't enforce WP:V that harshly. There at least has to be some challenge to the unsourced material before re-adding it warrants a block.-- Chaser - T 17:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, I have a sandbox at User:BillCJ/Sandbox/Sikorsky S-61 that is ready to go live (I hope!) Can you move it to Sikorsky S-61 over a redirect, and delete the sandbox? Also, since I've spun of two non-naval Sea King versions (including Sikorsky S-61R, the H-3 Sea King page now focuses mostly on the naval ASW varison. As such, I'd like to have it moved to SH-3 Sea King, also over a redirect. If you'd rather I did a propose-move first on this one, that's fine. Thanks again! - BillCJ 18:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Please be more careful with unblocks. I realize that the user posted a nice unblock request, but no good faith user targets an admin's userpage on their first edit, as real new users don't even know that userspace exists! -- Rory096 21:03, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
M. Chrislk02, a curious and curiouser note for your behalf. I spotted some supposedly innocuous edits in this article under the "minor" editing notation (but without explanation) by a "newbie" editor. The amount of changes did alter the article somewhat and would, at the very least, warrant a major revision notation, but it was the kind of changes that tweaked my interest. They seemed for the most part to be stylistic and "good faith edits" but they did subtly change the context of the passages. I did a quick check back through some of the aforementioned editor's other "work" and found the same pattern. He edit/corrects the article in question in his own interpretation and in the Douglas DC-5 and de Havilland Hornet articles, for example, I found his changes alter the subtext of the submissions, not a lot but enough to change the actual context/intention of the original posting. Not a big deal for now, but keep an eye on this. FWIW Bzuk 14:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC).

Hi. I'd like to take you up on your offer to assist resolving issues with problemmatic editors. Please take a look at talk:Space music, noting the threats, personal attacks and general incivility posted here and here by Milomedes. This editor has been trying to facilitate the insertion of eccentric non-mainstream definitions into this and related articles for some time, and invariably responds with name-calling, incivility and personal attacks whenever he is challenged to cite his sources. My patience for tolerating this behaviour is at an end, so I'd appreciate it if you could nip it in the bud. -- Gene_poole 07:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris - I am one of the editors Gene Poole is accusing of being a sockpuppet. I thought you would like to know that he has made this accusation in the past and there's already been an RFCU. The checkuser determination was "unrelated." Here is the link to the archived RFCU page: [25]. Since Gene Poole was the one who filed the RFCU, it's clear that he is aware of how it turned out.
Because the checkuser has already been done and it is known that Milo and I are not the same person, Gene's accusation is not in good faith. He has posted this accusation in several other places already as well, including here on the talk page of the article and at least one more editor's page, here. He even repeated the unfounded accusation in the RFC he posted, which I edited in the interests of fairness at this diff.
If there had never been a checkuser determination that Milomedes and I are not sockpuppets, then there might be some room for assuming good faith here. But since Gene already knows that we are not sockpuppets, that shows his activity in a different light.
If he believes the checkuser was mistaken, let him file another report. I have nothing to hide. But it is not in accordance with WP:CIVIL or WP:AGF to post unproven accusations on article talk pages during an RFC (or at any other time for that matter). It seems to me the right thing would be for him to remove the accusation from the article talk page so it does not prejudice the RFC or demean the reputation of the unfairly accused editors (who have already been cleared by checkuser anyway).
Although he contacted you to ask for help with what he calls "threats, personal attacks and general incivility", that's a description of his own methods, certainly not mine. Here is example of his post on an editor's talk page on June 25 in which he calls me "schizophrenic". Also at that link is my polite response, requesting that he stop the insults, and then his further response in which he accuses me of vandalism, another unfounded accusation.
That's just one example of his lack of AGF and violation of NPA, there are plenty more. In my contribs, you won't find anything like that, or any history of conflict with any other editor. If you need anything further, please let me know. Thanks. -- Parzival418 Hello 11:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, I request that if Gene emails you about this issue, that you please keep these discussions on-wiki so his allegations can be addressed fairly. There is nothing happening here that would require secrecy. What reason would there be for him to discuss these issues with you in private, unless he has something to hide? Or unless he wants to make accusations without the accused having a way to respond?
The edits I made on Miss Bea Haiving's user page that Gene mentioned were specifically to defuse the effect on a new user of her first talk page message being a strongly worded uncivil warning from Gene. I placed a welcome template, explained the context of his comment and why she does not need to fear being blocked for editing in good faith.
It seems to me that Gene's stern warning on her page, with threat of being blocked and accusation of vandalism, is a perfect example of WP:BITE and another violation of WP:AGF, as you've noticed in his overall editing patterns.
I have a lot more information I can offer about all this, but I don't want to clutter up your page with stuff you don't need. If you do want any more details, please let me know.
I have no desire to be involved with Gene in any way. I would just ignore his false accusations and threats, but when he brings them to an administrator's page as he has done here, I guess I have to respond so you have the whole story. Please ask him to stop talking about me and the other editors. If he wants to discuss anything, discuss the content of the articles and the sources. Isnt' that the point of Wikipedia, to improve the articles? So far, he has not addressed any of the content points I mentioned on the talk page, he's only gone straight into attack mode as you have seen. I don't want to be talking about Gene, and I'm sure the others don't either. We want to be editing and discussing the articles. Please ask him to stop attacking me or the others every time anyone does an edit on the articles he WP:OWNs. -- Parzival418 Hello 03:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, there's no sockpuppet abuse. I've already been cleared by checkuser from last time he did this. If he thinks there is evidence, let him file a report. Not one other editor will support his claim, and the checkuser will clear me again, because I'm not a sockpuppet.
Gene's made it very clear that he doesn't like my edits and consensus-directed discussions at the music genre pages he WP:OWNs. My guess is this is his way distracting me from editing. I'm not saying that as an attack - just trying to understand why he's so focused on making trouble for me. I have no interest in him at all. I'm only replying here to defend myself due to his allegations.
Hopefully you have a clear picture of this now and you don't need me to continue. I would much prefer to return to editing and not be involved with Gene.
Would you please let me know if that works for you? If you need more information from me at any time, just ask and I'd be glad to oblige. Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help. -- Parzival418 Hello 03:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Chris, it's the same thing that happens with just about everyone who goes around saying "booga booga here are the masonic secrets" They have an axe to grind, which is why they always cite from Christian antimasonic webpages, until they get told it's unverifiable.

Hi, I notice you protected this archive page, with the comment "preserving status or archive". Protection of archive pages, even in userspace, doesn't seem to be mentioned in the protection policy, and further more doesn't seem to be common practise. (Put it this way, out of the 30,000+ archive pages we have, right now this is the only one that is protected). "Preserving the status" of an archive seems a little unnecessary when page histories are available if the record is in doubt, and vandalism of archives is an extremely rare occurence and easily caught if it does happen. As there doesn't seem to be any vandalism or anything else that might make the protection necessary, could you possibly reconsider it? Thanks – Gurch 03:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Chrislk02, I never called Jzg a vandal, I pointed out a blanked page that could have been vandalism. I used the phrase "possible vandalism". I have been editing here for over two years and a consistent observation is that a few admins are supercilious and hypercritical(NOT Jzg). I hope that they eventually come down to earth sometime soon and learn to see things from the view of an editor.-- Fahrenheit451 01:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I am totally mistified why you proposed the Barton H. Watson wiki entry for deletion. Literally hundreds of newspaper articles have been written about this case in half a dozen countries around the world. I don't know what "article about a questionaly notable cyber criminal" means.

After looking at some of his contributions, I'm inclined to think he is either a sneaky vandal, or using PRODs to make points. I removed the notice on that basis, but would like a second opinion. If you feel I'm wrong in deleting the notice, for whatever reason, I'll resore it myself.

Apologies for re-posting this user for AIV - I thought my original posting had not worked.
However, I am afraid I do not understand why you do not block this guy. He may not have made any edits today, but he was on a final warning only yesterday and has already received many final warnings in the past, so it seems clear he has no intention of making a useful contribution. Drc79 20:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris,
First, I’m about to gently criticize you, so it’s only fair to preface all this by saying "thank you for doing the thankless task of dealing with AIV."
You’re removing a LOT of IP reports either because their final warning is a day old, or because they haven’t vandalized in the last 30 minutes to 1 hour. Now, if you’re doing that because you’re the only one on AIV right now and you’re swamped, I can understand, and I’ll go away. But if, day in and day out, you think that AIV is only for vandals that have been given a full set of warnings, today, and are vandalizing right now even as we speak, you’re basically saying that an IP vandal gets a “free” 2-3 vandal edits every day. This isn’t a rare, theoretical type of vandal; I revert them every day.
If you don’t think these reports belong on WP:AIV, where would you suggest I send them? Is AP:ANI really the place (seems like it would get swamped fast). Or, per ReyBrujo should I just live with this, and not bother to warn and report this kind of vandal? -- barneca ( talk) 20:48, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
With all due respect Chris, IP 72.9.210.246 on May 10 (today) and in the last 24 hours has 16 edits, all which are identified as vandalism. Every tracked edit by this IP which is only in the month of May can be identified as vandalism. It's very obviously not a shared IP. In fact this one user is on the verge of violation of the WP:3RR for the article of Fannie Lou Hamer for persistent wiping / vandalism and has been warned many times. Are there no consequences for vandalism after multiple warnings? Having been on Wikipedia a long time fighting vandalism, I know that not to be true. I trust you'll do the right thing.

I have removed the {{ prod}} tag from Auburndale Elementary School (Kentucky), which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial.

If a source is not submitted by May 18 2007 (UTC), I delete indication of a Kyokujitsuki.
I don't understand such behaviour and such ultimatum, is it possible to make such demands on Wikipedia? It seems that this particular user doesn't understand idea of flag templates at all. I hope you'll watch his actions because deleting part of template will break several dozens of articles. Regards, Piotr Mikołajski 14:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris - I hope this finds you well! You helped me out before, I wonder if you can advise on what to do again. We have an Anon editor on the Kevin Costner article, who keeps reverting edits. His purpose in this is to return to the article a piece of text which suggest Costner's father is a German American, with a reference to a TIME magazine article. If you look at the talk page, you can see the history - the last German relative came over in 1800. Another editor Jack O'Lantern has been battling this Anon for a while, and I see from his edit record that he has also become involved with the article German American. The article text of the version that Anon doesn't like includes the fact that Costner has German/Irish/Cherokee ancestory, so I can't see quite what the issue is. We have so far tried reverting, and adding additional information to the article, and adding test1 scripts to each of his IP addresses - but the Anon still keeps reverting to an older version. The Anon IP addresses (all with similar edit records) are of the form 84.140.XXX.XXX, which all on an IP trace orginate to a ing from a Deutsche Telekom owned IP address. My guess is that the address rotates as the Anon is subscriber to DT's Broadband ISP service - so it works much like AOL's rotating IP address for thei subscribers. What do you suggest? I'm pretty much out of ideas as the moment, and don't want to get into an edit war. Thanks for any help you can provide. Best Regards, - Trident13 20:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I notice that you just gave this IP a 24 hour block. This IP has made about 50 edits in the last month, all of which appear to be vandalism. The pattern is one of persistently re-introducing vandalism as soon as it is reverted, and a complete disregard of warnings. The IP has already had eight blocks, one of which was for a week and one for a month. In this context, a block of 24 hours is frankly derisory. Can I suggest that you consider these factors and issue a block which reflects the amount of disruption and waste of productive time which someone like this causes? Thanks. -- Stephen Burnett 19:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Looking for a little direction on this guy. I reported his IP to WP:AIV but didn't get the help I was looking for.

When weary with the long day's care,
And earthly change from pain to pain,
And lost, and ready to despair,
Thy kind voice calls me back again
Oh my true friend, I am not lone
While thou canst speak with such a tone!
And thou art ever there to bring,
Still in evening's most quiet hour
With never-failing thankfulness I
welcome thee, benignant power,
Sure solacer of all my cares
And brighter hope when hope despairs.
My dear Chris,
When I read this poem, I can't help but to think about you, and all the strength, beauty and shine that stem from you. For being a guiding light in times of darkness, you will always have my respect, my admiration and love, the way true friends love each other.

Hi, Justill45 is requesting to have his indefinite autoblock reviewed. It was triggered by using the same IP as Davidjeter whom you blocked with block message "voa". I'm sorry, I am new to this whole admin thing, but I have no idea what "voa" means, so I figured I would just contact you. Is that code for a Voice of All checkuser result?

1) My article has more citations and/or footnotes then a majority of the other aviation article (many, many more)
2) As far as Nobility
Just because I write and I feel that a cronological oration is easier to read and understand then a long verbosity test driven article is no reason to for a deletion. Right now, just getting started with this history (have more to add plus more photo's) but if the editors are going to chop it to bits because they do not understand it then why bother - This is also the reason I want it removed from the aviation projects - feel too many editors do not like detailed histories (and since wickipedia is about information).

Do you remember about two months ago, about a couple of hours after my RfA ended, you, Ryan, Alison, and Newyorkbrad were all saying that you were sorry about the unsuccess of the RfA? Well, as I was trying to respond to you all, a user called "Owner of Boats" posted a message to my talk page asking about why I revert vandalism on Natalie Erin's user page. You blocked Owner of Boats for vandalism. Since Owner of Boats was the first user to start this "Acalamari loves" business, I am sure that they are the sock puppet master here.

Hi this is kind of embarrassing. I think you are a sock puppeteer. I sent messages to other admins already. Here's what the message looks like:
I suspect that user:Chrislk02 is a sock puppeteer. He has currently banned 3 users for being sock puppets. I checked their contributions, and I suspect, that those 3 banned users are sock puppets for Chrislk02. All of their contributions has been vandalism, and they have all been reverted by user:Chrislk02. The vandals vandalism, are all on the same pages!!! The vandalism, were all somewhat simliar. The banned users are:
I think that Chrislk02 has been making accounts, vandalizing with them and reverting the vandalism with his admin account in order to make him look good. He thought people wouldn't figure his scheme, because he blamed the sock puppeting on a banned user, and the vandalism was small.
So........ Don't bann me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must do what is right! If is means death. Uh, have a good day!

Hi. This blocked user believes you can "help him" with his unblock request. Just to let you know. Sandstein 14:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Frankly, I would have expected someone comfortable with handing out civility lessons to himself avoid characterizing other editors as "idiots" and "pompous asses" for citing a (demonstrated) lack of maturity, recent vandalism, very few edits, no demonstrated breadth of editing and refusal to answer questions about one's admin candidacy as reasons to oppose that candidacy. Without going into pointless discussion of why you feel such characteristics are desirable in admins, such behavior in an admin is both unseemly and discredits any admonishments he might feel emboldened to deliver.

Completely unrelated - your user page seems to be a victim of the

Usually it's padding that messes things up.

Hey Chris, I know you're a veteran of dealing with smelly socks, and this is an area I've not yet ventured into, but I'd like to get some advice. I don't know if this really qualifies as sockpuppetry, but User:Fly12go had a name block for spamming One-Two-GO Airlines and Orient Thai Airlines. Now, User:Orient-thai is doing the exact same thing, despite notes about COI on its talk page. IP User:222.153.164.132 has been adding very similar spam. (In case you're not familiar with them, One-Two-GO Airlines is a subsidiary of Orient Thai Airlines.) Besides cleaning up the two articles, which I've already done, what would you suggest? I'm tempted to block User:Orient-thai for the spam, but how does one go about verifying that this is the same person? AKRadecki Speaketh 17:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

You said if someone had a problem with your closure of the RFCN (You know which one I refer to...) to discuss with you. Okay. Maybe I am wrong, but I thought it was common (read: unwritten [or maybe even written somewhere] guideline/policy) that someone participating in a discussion like RFCN or AFD, etc. was not supposed to close said discussion.

In other words get over all the past insults you allowed everyone to hurl at me on AN/I, but if anyone does any more they get scolded? So does that mean Phoeba gave you the okay that she got it harrassing me out of her system?
I love this, you define the playing field entirely. You remove my remarks (and yes you did, not matter how many times you say you didn't), call me a troll, close the argument, run out and pat your buddies on the back for the great save, allow everyone to attack and harrass me on AN/I (like Phoeba was allowed to harrass me relentlessly for a definition of Pimp, and continue the discussion, while ExplodingBoy mentioned it once and you told him to stop), then get that closed to shut me up there also, now you offer if I concede that only you have the right to define the playing field (throwing your administratorship around again), you'll what? Undo your allowing me to be harrassed by those agreeing with you, undo calling me a badgerer, undo letting me know that pimps can contribute to Wikipedia but my contributions are worthless?
Is there any end to your inability to see how one sided and biased you are? Is there any point at which you will actually read what people said to me, that you allowed them to continue saying, that you allowed people, as long as they were harassing me, to continue battering me off topic to get my complaint thrown off AN/I?
I didn't bring it up at Ivo's thing. Someone else did, then I got told that any defense of me is bizarre, and you ddin't raise any hackles about that.
Every insutling thing said to me, every bait thrown at me, you allowed, simply because it took the pressure off of your adminsitrative actions. To now suggest that since you've succeeded in allowing people to harass me at AN/I, call me over zealous, call me other names, accuse me of badgering, accuse me of forum shopping, call any support of me bizarre, not what you've succeeded in all that, you're going to what? Offer me an olive branch? What exactly do you want me to do with it?

Listen. Prescriptivism-vs-descriptivism aside, the primary meaning of "pimp" is still synonymous with "slave-holder". I have friends who are former prostitutes.

i left this same message on Dragonfly's talk page but wanted you to have a copy as well.....
i have made the username change request to move from ChicagoPimp to LurkingInChicago for the good of the greater project. now that the username will be changed, the issue should fade quickly. that said, after a few days of cool reflection for everyone, i would like to initiate a discussion with you and other affected admins regarding assuming good faith, summary blocking after being told i would not have to change a username, allowing a single user to dominate an issue on multiple policy discussion pages, allowing a discussion/debate to continue after an admin decision has been reached, personal attacks, etc. there have been strong words levied from both sides of the issue which degraded into multiple personal attacks with an obvious lack of cooperation and civility. admins would not be the primary subject of the conversation, but rather the userbase as a whole. as you noted on my talk page, i have been cooperative and polite, and i would like to explore how we can work together to encourage all users to do the same with the end result being an improved user experience.

Chris, I don't know if you get involved in deleting articles but, if so, could you take a look at the article Nathan Delaney and see if you can ramp up the speed on dealing with my speedy delete prod. I think it is a clear case of pure vandalism.
FYI - Given that I assume the subject is a "living person" (probably a schoolmate of the creator) I suppose BLP can be invoked. I blanked the article after six days of no action on the prod (not very speedy in my opinion, it probably would have gone faster to do a full AFD nom.). this was what the article looked like before my prod and blanking.
Thanks, Blueboar 14:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
That article is the subject of why my talk is being trolled. Thanks for the reverts. This user is violating WP:POINT since some of their edits to the same article were removed by multiple editors of WP:PW as week by week (which is not encyclopedic and would cluster up the articles with way to much non-notable info). So he is deleting this notable info (the only editor who is) as week by week because he is mad (my assumption) that his edits didn't stand, so I guess in his mind, none should.

In a nutshell I removed claims that needed citations and spelled out ther reason's why the F-22 should not be included in the comparable AC section. The facts speak for themselves. Protect the entry but it should have been protected prior to the changes of the 19th.
Wiki is now far too large to be factually inaccurate. Further, facts are not established based on consensus.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.149.59.228 ( talk • contribs)
I've added links. He has indeed violated 3RR. Exploding Boy 20:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I added them to show that he has a history of edit warring on this page. The fact that the last time he reverted was yesterday is irrelevant. He's continuing the exact behaviour of reverting without discussion or explanation. Nearly all his most recent edits to that page have been restoring his preferred version of one particular paragraph. Allowing a little time to pass before making exactly the same reverts doesn't mean it's not edit warring. How long will this be allowed to continue, exactly? This user has an obvious pattern of disruptive edits -- indeed, you acknowledged as much yourself when you protected the page. Exploding Boy 20:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, clearly this user is banking on exactly that type of response. I've tried repeatedly to engage him in discussion; it hasn't worked. I've reverted only after providing rationale for doing so. Quite frankly, I don't see why this user should be permitted to get away with his disruptive behaviour simply because he's savvy enough to just avoid violating 3RR. He very obviously deserves blocking, since his first three blocks haven't had the desired effect (ie: stopping the disruptive behaviour), but at the absolute minimum he should receive a warning. There is absolutely no reason for him to restore his preferred version of the paragraph, other than it's the one he likes better. We don't allow users to revert factual, good faith edits willy nilly just because they happen to prefer a different way of presenting the same material. Exploding Boy 20:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
It's like the lunatics are running the asylum here.... I'm really just flabbergasted. Either you're for some reason in support of this user or you're just unwilling or unable to see the problem. this version is simply better written. But that's not even the issue so much as the fact that this user is persisting in restoring his own preferred version only because it's the version he likes better. Frankly, I find it somewhat insulting that you clearly haven't bothered to research the issue properly. If you had you would see that I have been attempting discussion all along; this user simply doesn't care. He goes right ahead and does whatever he wants anyway. As a recent example, he removed another request for him to stop edit warring from his talk page without responding.
And by the way, my previous 3RR was during removal of vandalism. Like you, that admin didn't bother to properly research the issue.
As for your most recent comment, above, are you now telling me that it's inappropriate for a user to edit an article? Because it certainly seems that way when you say "you were the one who came in and started it." As I told TWTTATL, the relative age of an article has no bearing; any article can be improved. Exploding Boy 21:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you. My concern, as I've said, is this user's disruptive behaviour. I've asked him to stop it, but I'm not acting as an admin here since I edit the page. He needs to be issued a warning so that when he engages in similar behaviour in future, he can be given another block. Exploding Boy 21:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, that's clearly not the case. He's been reported twice for his behaviour on this article (by me), and he hasn't even received a warning when clearly a warning is warranted. He's not making an effort to enhance the article, he's repeatedly and unnecessarily restoring his own preferred version, refusing to discuss his changes, and reverting without comment and without reason. How much more disruptive must he become before he receives a warning? Exploding Boy 21:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
As I've explained repeatedly, it wasn't "future ability to be disruptive," it was current, ongoing disruptive behaviour. We'll see if this new 72-hour block has any effect. Exploding Boy 22:37, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Regarding [7], users aren't prohibited from removing warnings, though archiving is preferred.-- Chaser - T 21:23, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I have determined User:Mariam83 should be blocked for massive editwarring. At first I closed it as only warning, after which I found a much earlier warning for 3RR. Therefore it was too lenient and I believe a 48h block is needed. Can you do the job for me (I'm not an adminstrator)? Evilclown93 (talk) 14:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chris, While I definitely appreciate your intervention in the matter, the table that is under dispute has been removed and the article is protected. By doing this it is taking the side of User:XGustaX which is precisely what he wants. He does not want the material in the article. I found the materials using google scholar which says they publish peer reviewed scholarly information. The link to the article in question is here, and here on the National Institute of Health official government website. He does not agree with the results of the study, so he wants them deleted. He claims his alternative source from 2001 disputes this [9] and I am agreeable to us using both sources in the article, on one side a claim I put forward and on the other hand a counterclaim that he puts forward and then let any readers decide which they think is true. He does not accept this comprise as he wants the results of the study to disappear. I hope you would then consider placing both sources in the article as an acceptable compromise. This version has both claims [10] Muntuwandi 22:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I think we can work this out. I want to work this out. I have left a Compromise on the talk page. Basically says we keep the African DNA studies and remove the Native American studies. XGustaX 02:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
No, they are from different sources. Yes, that is the case. One gets results the other does not. It explains why also others do not get the same results, pretty much. I think we can compromise tonight Muntuwandi. XGustaX 02:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Well judging by Muntuwandi's last post on the talk pages, he doesnt seem he wants to compromise, he is still dening all my sources even after all this time. I am really trying here Chrislk02. XGustaX 03:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, He is still denying my sources. Please read the talk page to see what you think. XGustaX 13:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I think you are incorrect there. [12] this is the orginal source. If you click on Jonthan Marks it lists a few of the people who helped, it is clearly peer reviewed. That is why I think it should be removed, this source as another user on the talk page has pointed out is a good source. I am willing to compromise but just putting both sources isnt a compromise because I had to right to put the source there all along with no ones permission. XGustaX 14:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
No, no You stated before that "FOr both of you, is there conflicting data in each study? I.E>, does one study get results the other does not get?" And that is the case here. So I do not understand why you are saying that I explained to you earlier all of this. "No, they are from different sources. Yes, that is the case. One gets results the other does not. It explains why also others do not get the same results, pretty much. I think we can compromise tonight Muntuwandi. XGustaX 02:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)" XGustaX 14:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Nevermind. This is pointless. Thank you. XGustaX 14:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
It does it says:
All those genes and markers are a part of Muntuwandi's source. XGustaX 15:02, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Ok now that we have that out of the way. I am willing to compromise. Since I cannot find much on African DNA testing and I am willing to compromise, with what I said before we should do. XGustaX 15:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Aren't we trying to compromise here? As I said before Keep the African DNA studies remove the Native American ones. Since the article is about genetics this should be a good edition to how Genetic testing for at least for Native Americans is not reiable. We cannot seem to agree upon adding my sources, so I think this is fair. [19] XGustaX 15:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Then why Do I feel you have been attacking me from the beginning and are not being very neutral about this. I provide the information you wanted to prove it was related and reiable to what we are talking. I purposed a Compromise, I have respectfully tried to talk to Muntuwandi and i still get treated this way? XGustaX 15:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I tried to add the Native American DNA testing section and he could still not accept certain things the article made clear. Here is the Link Native American DNA testing section I made. [20] XGustaX 15:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I do not see him removing anythere, actually adding more in? he also trying to make your addition more NPOV. I see nothing wrong with that edit. He is not trying to remove anything there however edit and add more? I am confused as to what your problem is then? -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC) He removed the recent discovery part. XGustaX 15:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
You need to check to left of that in the yellow section it said before he removed it and in bold red letters what he removed, it said "Recently in the scienific community, it has been discovered that DNA testing to prove either some Native American Ancestry or even tribal affliation is flawed. The reason for being it once thought that most Native Americans have certain markers that are unique to other "races". However it must be stated, that all the Native American Markers are in fact found in many people all around the world. "
He does indeed
[21] My version to left and his to the right on the very bottom of the Native American DNA section.
XGustaX 16:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry if you misunderstood me. I am well aware that he did not removed the section. I said he removed a key part of the of "it has been discovered that" that part. XGustaX 16:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Ugh, Why I am bothering? Now John agrees that his source is not peer reviewed. XGustaX 16:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
As I said. I had the right to add my section since it was sourced anyways I do not see that as a compromise. If it were up to me I would remove all Genetic studies from the article. But I am willing to compromise get some lose some as they say. XGustaX 17:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I am confused what you are asking me exactly? Are you saying Sources do not matter in this case I am confused? XGustaX 17:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Oh ok. No I did not understand what you were getting at. Yeah it is. XGustaX 17:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
ok. XGustaX 18:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Naw, Just remove my part entirly. XGustaX 18:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC) Ok. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC) This verison seems seems like a fair compromise. I hope he stays true to the compromise. Thank you. XGustaX 18:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chris.
You asked me to evaluate some sources. With the proviso that my degree was in Chemistry and my post-graduate diploma was in Education, and therefore I have no specialist claim to certified knowledge in the area of race and genetics (although I do keep up with developments in this fascinating area of science), let's look at them.
It was difficult to evaluate the sources without knowing the context of the argument you were (presumably) having about them. I hope this is nonetheless of some benefit to you; please let me know if I can be any further help. -- John 16:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, what was this block in regards to? People are guessing at User talk:TheManWhoLaughs that it was an edit to Monarch [23], but there doesn't seem to be a pre-existing dispute over that issue. If that's it, we can't enforce WP:V that harshly. There at least has to be some challenge to the unsourced material before re-adding it warrants a block.-- Chaser - T 17:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, I have a sandbox at User:BillCJ/Sandbox/Sikorsky S-61 that is ready to go live (I hope!) Can you move it to Sikorsky S-61 over a redirect, and delete the sandbox? Also, since I've spun of two non-naval Sea King versions (including Sikorsky S-61R, the H-3 Sea King page now focuses mostly on the naval ASW varison. As such, I'd like to have it moved to SH-3 Sea King, also over a redirect. If you'd rather I did a propose-move first on this one, that's fine. Thanks again! - BillCJ 18:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

M. Chrislk02, a curious and curiouser note for your behalf. I spotted some supposedly innocuous edits in this article under the "minor" editing notation (but without explanation) by a "newbie" editor. The amount of changes did alter the article somewhat and would, at the very least, warrant a major revision notation, but it was the kind of changes that tweaked my interest. They seemed for the most part to be stylistic and "good faith edits" but they did subtly change the context of the passages. I did a quick check back through some of the aforementioned editor's other "work" and found the same pattern. He edit/corrects the article in question in his own interpretation and in the Douglas DC-5 and de Havilland Hornet articles, for example, I found his changes alter the subtext of the submissions, not a lot but enough to change the actual context/intention of the original posting. Not a big deal for now, but keep an eye on this. FWIW Bzuk 14:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC).

Hi. I'd like to take you up on your offer to assist resolving issues with problemmatic editors. Please take a look at talk:Space music, noting the threats, personal attacks and general incivility posted here and here by Milomedes. This editor has been trying to facilitate the insertion of eccentric non-mainstream definitions into this and related articles for some time, and invariably responds with name-calling, incivility and personal attacks whenever he is challenged to cite his sources. My patience for tolerating this behaviour is at an end, so I'd appreciate it if you could nip it in the bud. -- Gene_poole 07:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris - I am one of the editors Gene Poole is accusing of being a sockpuppet. I thought you would like to know that he has made this accusation in the past and there's already been an RFCU. The checkuser determination was "unrelated." Here is the link to the archived RFCU page: [25]. Since Gene Poole was the one who filed the RFCU, it's clear that he is aware of how it turned out.
Because the checkuser has already been done and it is known that Milo and I are not the same person, Gene's accusation is not in good faith. He has posted this accusation in several other places already as well, including here on the talk page of the article and at least one more editor's page, here. He even repeated the unfounded accusation in the RFC he posted, which I edited in the interests of fairness at this diff.
If there had never been a checkuser determination that Milomedes and I are not sockpuppets, then there might be some room for assuming good faith here. But since Gene already knows that we are not sockpuppets, that shows his activity in a different light.
If he believes the checkuser was mistaken, let him file another report. I have nothing to hide. But it is not in accordance with WP:CIVIL or WP:AGF to post unproven accusations on article talk pages during an RFC (or at any other time for that matter). It seems to me the right thing would be for him to remove the accusation from the article talk page so it does not prejudice the RFC or demean the reputation of the unfairly accused editors (who have already been cleared by checkuser anyway).
Although he contacted you to ask for help with what he calls "threats, personal attacks and general incivility", that's a description of his own methods, certainly not mine. Here is example of his post on an editor's talk page on June 25 in which he calls me "schizophrenic". Also at that link is my polite response, requesting that he stop the insults, and then his further response in which he accuses me of vandalism, another unfounded accusation.
That's just one example of his lack of AGF and violation of NPA, there are plenty more. In my contribs, you won't find anything like that, or any history of conflict with any other editor. If you need anything further, please let me know. Thanks. -- Parzival418 Hello 11:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, I request that if Gene emails you about this issue, that you please keep these discussions on-wiki so his allegations can be addressed fairly. There is nothing happening here that would require secrecy. What reason would there be for him to discuss these issues with you in private, unless he has something to hide? Or unless he wants to make accusations without the accused having a way to respond?
The edits I made on Miss Bea Haiving's user page that Gene mentioned were specifically to defuse the effect on a new user of her first talk page message being a strongly worded uncivil warning from Gene. I placed a welcome template, explained the context of his comment and why she does not need to fear being blocked for editing in good faith.
It seems to me that Gene's stern warning on her page, with threat of being blocked and accusation of vandalism, is a perfect example of WP:BITE and another violation of WP:AGF, as you've noticed in his overall editing patterns.
I have a lot more information I can offer about all this, but I don't want to clutter up your page with stuff you don't need. If you do want any more details, please let me know.
I have no desire to be involved with Gene in any way. I would just ignore his false accusations and threats, but when he brings them to an administrator's page as he has done here, I guess I have to respond so you have the whole story. Please ask him to stop talking about me and the other editors. If he wants to discuss anything, discuss the content of the articles and the sources. Isnt' that the point of Wikipedia, to improve the articles? So far, he has not addressed any of the content points I mentioned on the talk page, he's only gone straight into attack mode as you have seen. I don't want to be talking about Gene, and I'm sure the others don't either. We want to be editing and discussing the articles. Please ask him to stop attacking me or the others every time anyone does an edit on the articles he WP:OWNs. -- Parzival418 Hello 03:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Chris, there's no sockpuppet abuse. I've already been cleared by checkuser from last time he did this. If he thinks there is evidence, let him file a report. Not one other editor will support his claim, and the checkuser will clear me again, because I'm not a sockpuppet.
Gene's made it very clear that he doesn't like my edits and consensus-directed discussions at the music genre pages he WP:OWNs. My guess is this is his way distracting me from editing. I'm not saying that as an attack - just trying to understand why he's so focused on making trouble for me. I have no interest in him at all. I'm only replying here to defend myself due to his allegations.
Hopefully you have a clear picture of this now and you don't need me to continue. I would much prefer to return to editing and not be involved with Gene.
Would you please let me know if that works for you? If you need more information from me at any time, just ask and I'd be glad to oblige. Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help. -- Parzival418 Hello 03:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
