A whino assortment from the unwashed Wikipedia-editing hordes, with occasional exceptions
Stop vandalizing the Nagaland article. If you persist, I'll call in the Arbitration Committee. David Cannon 23:41, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Simonides, are you content with the new map? I've been asked to unprotect, and I'm eager to do so, if the map has been resolved. Please let me know on my talk page. If there are still issues, please let me know that, too, as the reasoning for the disagreement was obscure to me as an outsider. Geogre 23:41, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Simonides, I've gone back to the discussion page, and I now see what it is that you're objecting to. Would it be fair to say that your objection is not to Nagaland, but to the image of India that's being used there, and in pretty much every other India-related article that carries a map? If so, wouldn't the better discussion to be at Images for Deletion or editing images, since it's really a global rather than localized article concern? I'm going to unprotect the page for now. I have no knowledge or POV on the various concerns of India/Pakhistan, so my unprotection is not a comment on how I feel about the map. I do hope, however, that you are able to prevail upon the general community to get a better general India map, if that's the concern, and let it, perhaps, have shaded areas for contested regions or something similar.

Hey there, just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that I appreciate and support the work you're doing in keeping the Template:In the news section properly formatted, correct and especially balanced. Good work, and I'm with you. -- [[User:Solitude| Solitude\ talk]] 22:47, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
DO NOT unilaterally add "rules" to any page without a clear consensus (e.g. straw poll, or no serious objections in casual discussions) from the community first. Regardless of your opinions on US-centrism, "There should be no more than one story relating to the same country" is NOT Wikipedia policy. Do not add it again before obtaining a clear community consensus (which you do not have, for I myself and a number of users I know are very much against this addition). BLANKFAZE | (что??) 22:15, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
And now it's protected. Please do not violate the 3RR - if people are reverting you there must be a reason. This should be discussed at template talk:in the news rather than a brute-force attempt at adding the notice. violet/riga (t) 22:37, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Judging by some of your edits it seems that you think that your opinion is the only one that counts. Please avoid revert wars and discuss things more thoroughly. Even more importantly please avoid both directed and generalised insults. You've now had two pages protected because of your reversions - hopefully they can soon be unprotected and you won't add your opinion again without community consensus. violet/riga (t) 00:00, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hi Simonides, just also wanted to chip-in that I support your general intention of broadening the international view of ITN. It looks like you are swimming against the tide and perhaps the stress is showing. Fortunately tides can turn, although it usually takes a little time. -- Solipsist 08:51, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Please refrain from continuing the reversions of the Wikipedia:Village pump (news) page. If you do it again you will be in violation of the three revert rule. I have explained on my talk why it's being done - you're just being very petty over whether it should be linked or included. violet/riga (t) 00:08, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
(Notice: Please do not change the name of this original message to you as you did by inserting the belittling name of "== Do NOT rain on my Zionist parade ==" see what you did at: [1], as it is a violation of Wikipedia's functioning. Thank you. IZAK 10:22, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC))
Hi, since you have placed the Category:Jewish Russian people up for a vote to keep or delete, please DO NOT remove the category from the pages in this category until AFTER the vote is over! I am reverting your changes until a consensus is reached. IZAK 11:55, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
NO! Read what is says on the very same {{cfd}} sign that YOU placed on the Category:Jewish Russian people page: "This category has been listed for deletion or renaming. Please see this page's entry on the categories for deletion page for the proposal, justification, and discussion. Please do not remove this notice or empty the category while the question is being considered." Note well the plain English words of the {{cfd}} sign, and if you go ahead and "empty the category while the question is being considered" you are in violation of Wikipedia policies and will have this marked against you in a RfC and an eventual RfA if necessary. Be warned! IZAK 14:03, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi again Simonides: I noticed that when you edited some pages you "clustered" or "bunched" the names of Categories and Languages templates on some pages. This makes it very difficult to both read and edit the pages as one must then wade through the too tightly and too closely-spaced Categories and Language templates. To leave them in a readable and streamlined list makes it easier to see, read, and most importantly edit, such as when one is considering where to place the name of new Category and Language templates to a page. Here are two examples of what I mean: Thanks. IZAK 10:46, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi Simonides: I agree with user violet/riga that you need to be more "civil". I have been at Wikipedia two years, so I am a veteran. I am in the top 100 Wikipedia editors see Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits presently at 64 with over 10,000+ edits [4] and I was one of the first to utilize Wikipedia Categories on a lrge scale in Category:Jews and Judaism, so I can judge very well that what you say is not true! An average Wikipedia article uses less than "page" (I am not sure that we need concern ourselves with sacriicing "space", as usage is an imoprtnat issue, and there is no problem at all in having the listing of "Categories" and "Language versions" run down in a line rather than "bunch them up" as you have tended to do. So I would ask that you please stop it, because what you are doing makes it much harder for those of us using the categories to edit them with ease rather than having to wade through a "cluster" that is hard to unravel and makes errors more likely to occur. Thanks for your consideration of this issue. IZAK 10:59, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Dear Simonides, the personal attacks and snide, arrogant remarks in your edit summaries have become tiresome. Please stop that, thank you. Wyss 00:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Please stop the personal attacks, dispute-driven false accusations of poicy violations at the administrators' noticeboard and edit warring by revert. Thank you. Wyss 04:55, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
The false accusations, personal attacks and misleading statements you have made about me on sundry pages of WP are reprehensible, abusive and disruptive. Please stop immediately.
I strongly suggest we avoid each other entirely for now, which would include even references to each other on user talk pages. A sarcastic or accusatory reply from you to this posting will be interpreted as further abuse.
Therefore, let's simply agree for now that we have no viable common means of communication and are sadly incapable of maintaining any exchange between us whatsoever which conforms to Wikipedia's written policy.
Thank you for your time and while I emphatically deny your accusations, I am sorry that we have been unable to find any way to collaborate on developing content for Wikipedia. You have my best wishes, however, for a rewarding and pleasant Wikipedia experience. Wyss 20:52, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
