This article was created about four months ago, and was still a stub; instead of expanding it, you created a new article under an incorrect title (and with incorrect formatting), and made the old article into a redirect (without correcting any of the links to the old article). Why? -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 07:56, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
I've reverted your incorrectly-titled article to a rdirect and protected it from editing; I've moved the article to User:Soltak/Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, where you can edit it, and transfer the material to the existeing, correctly-named article. You should also read Wikipedia:No personal attacks. -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 09:17, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. The problem is that, because of Wikipedia's policy for use of its own material (see Wikipedia:Copyrights) that might not be enough. I'll check myself, but it would be good if you could contact the Centre and make sure that they understand the position (perhaps by giving them a link to our copyrights page). Sorry for all the fuss, but it would be a pity to lose all the material; if the worst comes to the worst, we'll have to rewrite it sifficiently to avoid the problem. -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 09:27, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
I reviewed the copyright info from that link and it reads in pertinent part "...if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates)." Perhaps we should add something either at the beginning or end of the article indicating that a portion of the material comes from the Center itself, along with the date that posting was authorized. - Soltak 17:29, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
I had responded to an earlier comment but, evidently, that got lost in the shuffle (probably my fault). In any event, I promise not to file any more vandalism complaints unless warranted. It was my interpretation at the time that the complaint was with merit, I have since seen that not to be the case. My apologies. - Soltak 23:41, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed that Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of years in archaeology seems not to be listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. You need to add any suggested deletions there (instructions are on the page) under the date you add it for it to be an official VFD.
That bit of business explained, however, I'd like to suggest you reconsider your vote-- I've puttered around on the archaeology years a bit; take a look. What I've added is still only a tiny fraction of what I think it could become. Again, I think the stubbyness is a matter of not enough editors interested in the history of archaeology have been lured here to contribute yet, rather than any flaw in the concept of having something like year articles or a timeline. Whatever you decide, cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:58, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
I re-reverted the Mike DeWine article. For sourcing see the comment I posted last year on the talk page or do a Google search for "Richard Michael DeWine" such as this one. What "official" biography did you refer to? In both Bioguide and the bio on DeWine's senate site say nothing of "Richard". PedanticallySpeaking 15:29, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

The volume of very low quality contributions from Maorider seems too great to ignore. I am sort of interested in placing a 8 hour block on him, just to emphasize that the Wikipedia community is serious about the guidelines he's breaking. However, I'm not sure that this is considered a legit reason for a block.... any opinion on the use of a block in this case? ike9898 19:14, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
I agree that Maoririder's conduct cannot be ignored as he persists in creating irrelevant stubs and templates. On his talk page he says all of the right things but continues to proceed counter to his statements. I'm not entirely sure about how legit blocking for volume is, but in this case I don't think an 8 hour block would be challenged by anyone and it would certainly show that we're serious about his actions. - Soltak 19:18, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
Goodday Soltak. I'd like to discuss your vote on deletion of Lobstergotchi and Lobsters & Horses Inc.
"Delete. This could be a hoax or just an awful idea for a game. In any event, this article shouldn't be written until the game has been published and established."
Please revalute the idea of this being a hoax. If you go and check Lobstergotchi and Lobsters & Horses Inc. now you can see the changes I've done that clearly shows it's not a hoax. I've also written a few words in discussion part. Please take a look at it an revalute your vote.
One thing that I don't understand thought is why "an awful idea for a game" would prevent it from being an article on Wikipedia. That is just your opinion of the game/game idea, people have different taste y'know.
and regarding the "this article shouldn't be written until the game has been published and established." part, I indeed think it should, atleast now when I've added the Future game-tag ("This article or section contains information about a computer or video game(s) in production."), which clearly shows it's a game under development. Please revalute your vote :)
Thank you in advance.
Note: This is in no way meant to offend you. If you get offended by what I just wrote in any way, don't. It's not the way I meant it. -- Yadonashi 02:29, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm convinced that this isn't a hoax, however, I won't be changing my vote to delete. There are a number of criteria for deletion, manufactured information being only one of them. This game is not well established, is being made by a company (or team) that it not well established and falls squarely under the heading of "non-notable." This article may well have merit in the future, however, it should not be written until such a time as the game and/or company has been well established and a fair number of players are in existence - Soltak 16:43, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
These articles were not candidates for speedy deletion.
To be a wikipedia editor rather than just a mindless tagging machine, you have to such articles and expand them. It's a wiki. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 22:03, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Heya there! Thanks for your email, it's not often I get them on here! ;-) This little worm RainbowWarrior seems to be a nasty piece of work, a jumped-up little twerp who thinks he's a god. Well, I suppose you come across them sooner or later! Maybe we could petition to have him deleted. Anyways, thanks again for geting in touch! Whereabouts you from? Rusty2005 16:28, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Cheers, I'll be keeping an eye on him as well. Maybe we should contact Administrator Linusbeak, he seems to have encountered difficulties with RainbowWarrior before. Hopefully he'll give it up and let us get on with something useful :-) Rusty2005 16:47, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Sounds like the best idea! By the way, can I remove the Deletion Request header from the Fatherland articel, or will I need to contact an admin?
Soltak: (responding to your post on Linuxbeak's talk page)
Having seen quite a few of Rainbowwarrior1977's actions, my indication is the user is simply a troll looking for individuals to provoke. The greatest damage you can do him is to simply ignore him altogheter. He is very quickly coming up on a block for disruption, and an RfC will be filed against him shortly as a preparatory step to having him permabanned. Although I have no suspects in mind, he is probably the recreation of some other troll who has already been banned; we can have the developers check his IPs to see if they have been used by any other users. My advice to you is this: Ignore him in as much as possible, since the "silent treatment" is the worst punnishment of all for a disruptive troll, and if you see him doing something blockable, leave me a note on my talk page (or contact me via one of the services listed in the "admin note" section at the top of my talk page) and I will gladly block him. -- Essjay · Talk 19:34, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
P.S. Although I realize why you said it, be careful of phrases like "cheeky little twit", because I guarantee you it will cause him to scream "personal attack" and with these kind of users, its best to be above reproach, since it makes thier actions all the more condemnable. -- Essjay · Talk
The RfC is finished. Perhaps you'd like to endorse it? (It has to be endorsed by at least one other user within 48 hours or it will be cleared/) It's here. -- Essjay · Talk 23:57, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Heya from the UK! What's the rainbow-soldier being saying to you? Rusty2005 19:10, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Hmm, he's a weird one. Amazing how sad some people can be, eh? Thanks for your endorsement as well! Ah well, I'm off out clubbing :D See ya round!
Maoririder is back to his old habits (see last version of The Adventures of Piggley Winks, before it was turned into a re-dir). I have put two short blocks on him, sort of as a warning. However, I think that if he needs to be blocked again, someone else should do it. I don't want it to look like this is some conflict between ME and him. So basically, if in your judgement he becomes too disruptive, please place the block on him again. (The first two blocks were 8 and 16 hours, respectively.)

I noticed you removed my Ric Flair quote: "We're gonna dance all night, and party a little longer... Woooo!"
Do you know about Ric Flair? He certainly used this as a catch-phrase, especially circa late-1990's in WCW. I am wondering why my contribution was deleted. Thank you. (Unsigned by Sicclydiccly)
In the future, I suggest you sign your comments on other user's talk pages. It's really quite helpful when someone wants to respond.
As far as the quote is concerned, unless you can provide me with a source it will remain deleted. And to answer your question, I am quite familiar with Ric Flair. I also have the "Ultimate Ric Flair" DVD collection, and that quote appears nowhere in any section of the DVD. Most of his others do.
In this case, the burden of proof lies with you. You'll have to forgive me if I don't just take your word for it. If you can provide me with some source (Internet or otherwise) that documents his frequent (not just once and a while) use of this quote I would be more than happy to restore it.

the batman refrence could not be more relevant. it shows clearly that it is meant to be served cold. dont tell me you hate batman. (Unsigned by 68.80.154.225)
No, I don't hate Batman. The Batman reference, however, has been removed several times (not only by me) because it's irrelevant to the article. The article says it's meant to be served cold, that's all the illustration necessary.
They eat a lot of lasagna on Everybody Loves Raymond should that be mentioned in the lasagna article? They use a lot of guns on Law and Order should that be mentioned in an article about firearms? No. So please, I'm asking nicely, stop adding Batman references to Vichyssoise. Soltak 00:15, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Lasagna is a fairly common food, but how often does vichyssoise come up? The Batman refrence provides a common ground on which people can relate. Also, the refrence clearly illustrates that it is a fancy soup, which the article does not convey, since it is being served to a billionaire by a butler (Unsigned by 68.80.154.225)
I have never heard of vichyssoise outside of Batman, and so I think that any outside refrence to such an obscure soup deserves mention. By the way, I appreciate the polite manner in which you responded to me. But in any case, a Batman refrence would at the very least lighten the mood of the article. To be quite honest, cold soup by itself is not very interesting. (Unsigned by 68.80.154.225)
By the way, if vichyssoise wasn't a fancy soup, why is the recepie link to finedinings.com? (Unsigned by 68.80.154.225)

Hey, just wanted to pass it along since you gave the advice to Eleemosynary, it seems the anon he had to clean up after is back under the IP 4.228.216.125. I've left a warning on his user page, but just wanted to give you a heads up. Karmafist 22:20, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
P{lease stop harrassing me and vandalizing my pages. I took off your unwelcome post on my LIsa Kushell article and please do not bother me again thank you good evening. Wiki brah 03:30, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Seems our friend "Wiki brah" has offered to second an RfC nomination against you if that "ViteroHoratio" sockpuppet moves forward with one. Of all the booshwah I've ever seen on this site, that ranks as the single most inhuman thing I've ever seen a user do to another one and I've called him on it. It almost eclipses that SOB NoPuzzleStranger and his antics, especially since a lot of his edits were actually useful. Autistic or not, I'm this close to shutting that account down for good. Disruptive edits are one thing. That kind of garbage against a top-drawer user/admin is another. I'm going to alert a couple of bureaucrats to this. Know that you have a lot of support, starting with me. - Lucky 6.9 14:23, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
More fun. He left word at User talk:4.228.90.146 as well, right after that same anon was warned several times agains vandalism. Did you know that you are now a pendejo? :) - Lucky 6.9 14:26, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
SOLKTAK I am very very sorry about that request for comment stuff it was just that Lucky had told me about them (in general) and I just wanted to try one out but now I wont will not do it sorry good afternoon thank you. Da BRah!
I'd certainly support an RfC for Wiki brah at this juncture. It would show him we're serious about trying to do good work here. An RfC actually helped turn User:SuperDude115, another autistic user, into a good contributor. Count me in. - Lucky 6.9 19:06, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
I've begun writing a draft of an arbitration request at User:Satori/MaoriRfAr.

I intend to post it to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration tomorrow morning, PDT. - Satori 22:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm about to log out for the evening, but please feel free to make any changes you think are necessary or appropriate. Even though the draft is in my user space, I fully intend it to be a collaborative effort of anyone who is signing on as an initiator.

Can we put some pictures of her on my article please how do we do that she is so very very hot I am very much in love with her she is so even better hot looking than our women here in Brasil and you that is saying a lot. Plus I know I got that date of birth wrong it is 1971 and I am going to change it now and also: can we create a stub catagory for her and others such as long the lines of "tall hot jewish actresses/models" or something? But I would love for you to teach me how to do pictures first thank you.!! Wiki brah 01:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Since all of your messages seem to start with monosyllables, who am I to argue? :^)

I've initiated a Request for Comment concerning Maoririder that can be found here. Thought you might be interested. -- Scimitar parley 18:22, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for replying on my talk page. I will wait until Maoririder replies. I tried to make a constructive suggestion to have a To-Do list for himself. Robert McClenon 00:28, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
I noticed you removed my Ric Flair quote: "We're gonna dance all night, and party a little longer... Woooo!"
Do you know about Ric Flair? He certainly used this as a catch-phrase, especially circa late-1990's in WCW. I am wondering why my contribution was deleted. Thank you. (Unsigned by Sicclydiccly)
In the future, I suggest you sign your comments on other user's talk pages. It's really quite helpful when someone wants to respond.
As far as the quote is concerned, unless you can provide me with a source it will remain deleted. And to answer your question, I am quite familiar with Ric Flair. I also have the "Ultimate Ric Flair" DVD collection, and that quote appears nowhere in any section of the DVD. Most of his others do.
In this case, the burden of proof lies with you. You'll have to forgive me if I don't just take your word for it. If you can provide me with some source (Internet or otherwise) that documents his frequent (not just once and a while) use of this quote I would be more than happy to restore it.

I won't be here very long, so here is a barnstar for your 1,000th edit early.

the batman refrence could not be more relevant. it shows clearly that it is meant to be served cold. dont tell me you hate batman. (Unsigned by 68.80.154.225)
No, I don't hate Batman. The Batman reference, however, has been removed several times (not only by me) because it's irrelevant to the article. The article says it's meant to be served cold, that's all the illustration necessary.
They eat a lot of lasagna on Everybody Loves Raymond should that be mentioned in the lasagna article? They use a lot of guns on Law and Order should that be mentioned in an article about firearms? No. So please, I'm asking nicely, stop adding Batman references to Vichyssoise. Soltak 00:15, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Lasagna is a fairly common food, but how often does vichyssoise come up? The Batman refrence provides a common ground on which people can relate. Also, the refrence clearly illustrates that it is a fancy soup, which the article does not convey, since it is being served to a billionaire by a butler (Unsigned by 68.80.154.225)
I have never heard of vichyssoise outside of Batman, and so I think that any outside refrence to such an obscure soup deserves mention. By the way, I appreciate the polite manner in which you responded to me. But in any case, a Batman refrence would at the very least lighten the mood of the article. To be quite honest, cold soup by itself is not very interesting. (Unsigned by 68.80.154.225)
By the way, if vichyssoise wasn't a fancy soup, why is the recepie link to finedinings.com? (Unsigned by 68.80.154.225)
I see a lot of hard and useful work on Wikipedia. I'd award you Barnstar but since you got one very recently take big thanks, at least! Pavel Vozenilek 00:13, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind words, they were much appreciated! I'll try to keep up the good work :-) Soltak 00:17, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
...is almost certainly a sockpuppet of Maoririder. I'm putting a 48-hour block on both accounts for now. This is out of control. Do feel free to adjust the time out either up or down. Thanks and good night! - Lucky 6.9 06:12, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Hey, just wanted to pass it along since you gave the advice to Eleemosynary, it seems the anon he had to clean up after is back under the IP 4.228.216.125. I've left a warning on his user page, but just wanted to give you a heads up. Karmafist 22:20, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
P{lease stop harrassing me and vandalizing my pages. I took off your unwelcome post on my LIsa Kushell article and please do not bother me again thank you good evening. Wiki brah 03:30, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Seems our friend "Wiki brah" has offered to second an RfC nomination against you if that "ViteroHoratio" sockpuppet moves forward with one. Of all the booshwah I've ever seen on this site, that ranks as the single most inhuman thing I've ever seen a user do to another one and I've called him on it. It almost eclipses that SOB NoPuzzleStranger and his antics, especially since a lot of his edits were actually useful. Autistic or not, I'm this close to shutting that account down for good. Disruptive edits are one thing. That kind of garbage against a top-drawer user/admin is another. I'm going to alert a couple of bureaucrats to this. Know that you have a lot of support, starting with me. - Lucky 6.9 14:23, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
More fun. He left word at User talk:4.228.90.146 as well, right after that same anon was warned several times agains vandalism. Did you know that you are now a pendejo? :) - Lucky 6.9 14:26, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
SOLKTAK I am very very sorry about that request for comment stuff it was just that Lucky had told me about them (in general) and I just wanted to try one out but now I wont will not do it sorry good afternoon thank you. Da BRah!
I'd certainly support an RfC for Wiki brah at this juncture. It would show him we're serious about trying to do good work here. An RfC actually helped turn User:SuperDude115, another autistic user, into a good contributor. Count me in. - Lucky 6.9 19:06, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
I've begun writing a draft of an arbitration request at User:Satori/MaoriRfAr. I know you've been following this, and if you'd like to make any changes or additions, or to add your name to the initiating party, please feel free to to do. I intend to post it to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration tomorrow morning, PDT. - Satori 22:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm about to log out for the evening, but please feel free to make any changes you think are necessary or appropriate. Even though the draft is in my user space, I fully intend it to be a collaborative effort of anyone who is signing on as an initiator. I figured it's best to work out the details in a draft, and post a finalized version to WP:RfAr. - Satori 23:43, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
!!! Thank you so much!!! Can you really hepl me with the Lisa Kushel article? That is great thank you!! Can we put some pictures of her on my article please how do we do that she is so very very hot I am very much in love with her she is so even better hot looking than our women here in Brasil and you that is saying a lot. Plus I know I got that date of birth wrong it is 1971 and I am going to change it now and also: can we create a stub catagory for her and others such as long the lines of "tall hot jewish actresses/models" or something? But I would love for you to teach me how to do pictures first thank you.!! Wiki brah 01:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
I picked out 2 picstures from your list and put them on the article thank you for your help! Wiki brah 04:49, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Since all of your messages seem to start with monosyllables, who am I to argue? :^)
Anyway, I have felt like a heel for the last twelve hours or so. I agree with you and I've reopened the account, at least for now. A unilateral block like this is a precident I'd rather not set. Thanks for having a cool head in this matter. - Lucky 6.9 20:10, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
Fixed the vandalism on Jim Ross. Thanks for the heads up. -- Golbez 22:09, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
No problem. I like your proposed edit summary much better than the one I left though. :-) -- Canderson 7 00:05, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
what is going up? CAn i call you TAK? I just wrote some wmore articles tonight if you want to see and good night! Wiki brah 02:30, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that I am in full agreement with the sentiments you expressed on your "views" page. Few have said it better. If you'd like to collaborate on wikistuff in the future-you may notice that I am basically of the same mindset regarding deletion/inclusion-let me know. Paul 03:33, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
Hello again...I wanted to briefly mention a couple of my ideas, won't go into too much detail at the moment, but here's the basics.
Let me know what you think of all this...rock on Paul 06:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Why did you close the vfd on Bartlett High School, Bartlett, Illinois as a no consensus? Last time I looked, 36 was more than 20. It's a 2/3 majority, in fact. Soltak | Talk 21:11, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Hello,
The Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Maoririder. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Maoririder/Evidence.
Yours,

Michigan also has a similar template... I invite you (you're probably better at making it aesthetic than me) to help make it smaller and nicer looking. Thanks.
Please do not remove copyright violation notices. If you would like to discuss whether an article has a copyright violation, please do so on the copyright problems page. Thank you. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 19:52, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
In this case I have to disagree with you on trumping. A list on another page is more cumbersome to navigate. The template appears at the bottom of every highway page making navigation quick and painless. Please reconsider your opinion, alot of West Virginians have been putting in time on our road entries. -- 71Demon 21:38, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
