Hi,
I've seen your version of the political compass userbox and I like it. I have another simpler version on my userpage, could you tell me how to use it to add myself to one of the political compass related categories? Could you help me make it an advanced template like yours (requiring values and stuff).I would rather user my version as I find it moer aesthetic. Will it be possible to add "my" version to Wikipedia:Userboxes/Beliefs?
I have made a rough "draft" of my planned new version to the political compass userbox which can be found at User:Tal642/my sandbox/politicalcompass and is also displayed at my user page. Any comments? Tal :) 09:49, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and one question, am I allowed to move templates on "public" domain (i.e. not on userpages) to my userpage? Is this allowed or recommended? will it prevent them from being deleted? Tal :) 15:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Template:
namespace that are slated for removal? If that's the case, I'm sure that it probably won't be a problem, although I'd hunt down their original authors first (check the template edit histories) and collaborate with them. :-)

You suggested that I contact you on your talk page regarding the common era situation. Firstly, I have also offered a solution to this dilemma, and I also disagree with the usage of CE/BCE. My solution, which was presented at several venues within Wikipedia, including the Jesus talk page and at pages to request for an alteration in policy, has failed several times. It was to use both systems everywhere on Wikipedia, except to divide their usage. The term "BC" (Before Christ) would be used along with "CE" (Common/Christian Era). Although I think disincluding "AD" (Anno Domini) is not what I would suggest, it is the only answer for a solution everyone would be able to agree with. It is also more POV than "BC". Another positive outcome of this is that "BC" and "CE" both have only 2 digits, "BCE" has three. Please see here for one of the places I requested the alteration. I would also like to hear your ideas. Please respond on my talk page if you would not mind. — ` CRAZY` (IN)` SANE` 00:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I am reaching out to you with an odd situation even for Wikipedia. I attempted to edit the article on John Littlechild 1who led the first Special Irish Branch for the UK police and who also investigated the Jack the Ripper and Oscar Wilde cases. I saw that the article only touched on the career points of the subject. I noted that the formation of the Special Branch was opressive to the Irish and that Littlechild has a homophobe for his prosecution of Wilde.
These edits were promptly removed several times by editor Ben W. Bell 2 - a pro British Irishman. The editor Necrothesp 3 -- who authored the article -- also removed various entries. I even reduced the entry to say that the formation of the Special Branch was oppressive to the Irish and nothing more. This too was removed under the excuse that I was offering a POV and not a neutral objective fact.
I was going to get administrators to act as third parties but became intimidated by one simple fact -- on Necrothesp's user page its states that he is a British cop and a member of the U.K. Territorial army. I could go on forever talking about why the British police should not be allowed to edit articles on Northern Ireland but that would be useless. I travel in the UK a great deal and the police have special powers to trace users of any BBS system.
Necrothesp and Ben W. Bell also kept posting on my talk page after I said I felt intimidated. I asked them nicely to leave unitl after the editing conflict wass resolved but they still kept posting. I feel very intimidated. I would like to revise the article with more solid sources but fear being ganged up on again by Necorthesp the cop and his friend Ben W. Bell. In the last entry he made on my talk page Necorthest suggested I leave Wikipedia altogether which is very intimidating coming from someone who is a policeman 4.
I would still like to edit the article but would like you or some other advocate to watch what is being said and done. Please help!
I look forward to hearing from you.

The way Aeon presented things to me, I felt a long break was justified, but the fact that other people felt that such a block was not warranted, have lead me to think that Aeon was a bit misleading.

Hi, i have contacted to my advocate (user:Pedant) and he seems willing to accept my case, i think the status can be changed to Open. Cheers, -- HappyApple 16:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd certainly be able to help, but I'm not certain that Joehazelton would think me an appropriate advocate, inasmuch as my userpage contains a (succinct and barely visible) profession to the effect that, even as I'm an anarcholibertarian, I support categorically the Democratic Party of the United States; to the extent that the problems at the Roskam article have devolved from simple content dispute, they seem to be connected to the avowed political views of the contributors. Should Joehazelton nevertheless be comfortable with me—to be sure, as in any other on-WP undertaking, I've no problem elevating encyclopedic neutrality over personal sentiment—I'd be altogether willing to help; shall I write him to query him apropos of this? :) Joe 02:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you didn't sign your recent posting at User talk:70.160.180.8.

Margana was rejecting consensus as a conspiracy. I had some input towards attempting to find common ground before David asked me to step back. "It's just that in such a sensitive case, I think it's often better to present a united front." The big question is if an admin got drawn into the edit war and blocked while involved. I didn't get involved in that discussion. Margana wanted a RfC but David reccommended against it. That's what I know, but I haven't been staying extremely current.

I would like to ask your assistance with Users FeloniusMonk and KillerChihauahua who continually revert the Paul Weyrich biography to language that I feel aims only to make Mr. Weyrich look bad. I have asked them numerous times to cease their vandalism to his biography, and they refuse. I see pure editorialization in their postings, and I have tried to instill fairness into the criticism section by eliminating direct accusations that are mischaracterizations and innuendos at best.
Considering that I have known Mr. Weyrich personally for five years, and I have had innumerable discussions with him regarding the subjects these two users insist upon inserting, I know they are ad hominem attacks. They also take his quotes out of context in what I feel is an effort to smear him.
I included remarks from Mr. Weyrich where he said he would not consider being part of a movement that would transform the United States into another Iranian-style theocracy. They were deleted, and the only reason I can guess is that these two individuals have an agenda to portray Mr. Weyrich as an extremist.-- 204.108.237.194 21:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Anything you can direct me towards would be appreciated. Thanks, - Kevin/Last1in 22:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey Jossi, Steve Caruso here :-) I have a couple quick questions for you about User:Ste4k in regards to her RfC. Could you hit me up via email? Although I'd -really- prefer email, if you'd rather not, give me a poke on my talk page. Peace and thanks! אמר Steve Caruso ( desk/ AMA) 02:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey Steve this one is for your Userpage
Hi, thank you for leaving me a message on my talk page regarding to my request to advocate assitance on Hwacha article. I've received a notification from Pedant that he or she, is willing to help me, but i find that him or her is having some delay on his assitance to me. (Perhaps he is quite busy or he's involved in other activities). My question is, what steps should i take for an advocate would assist me on represent my case to solve the ongoing problem at Hwacha?. I think the current version has withstood these days only because of Wikimachine's personal whims. I really would appreciate that an advocate would assist me. A wikipedian in need. :( -- HappyApple 22:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I have asked for abrbitration involving User:Nscheffey. See here. Please post any comments you desire to add. Ste4k 08:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Steve. The changes you made look fair and seem level-headed. I hope Moorlock can live with them too. Thanks for being my advocate -- Foamy Latte 20:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Steve this is Aeon I really need you help man. Check User talk:JakGd1 and User talk:Triddle adn my own Talk page. UCRGrad is now trying to disrupt the DR process! BTW I'm at wikistress 5 might need an Advocate soon becuase I'm through dealing with him. Aeon Insane Ward 22:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey Steve, just to give you a heads up I will be taking a short wikibreak. Need some time away from Wikipedia. Aeon Insane Ward 22:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok Steve, I'm attempting to make amends to Insert Belltower take a look at his talk page (Things should hopefully inprove soon I hope) Æon Insane Ward 19:28, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, Steve, but I'm off the active list for the moment. I've not been able to take anything on in some while. Wish I might've been more help. If you can get Keith Tyler, that would not be a bad thing. Good luck, and thanks for what you're doing for the AMA. It's about damn time. Wally 04:00, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Steve, I have requested that UCRGrad Leave me alone and not to post on my talk page. If he needs to talk to me for any reason I asked him to post it to you. As I siad I'm finshed dealing with him and don't want or need the stress Æon Insane Ward 23:42, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I am reaching out to you with an odd situation even for Wikipedia. I attempted to edit the article on John Littlechild 1who led the first Special Irish Branch for the UK police and who also investigated the Jack the Ripper and Oscar Wilde cases. I saw that the article only touched on the career points of the subject. I noted that the formation of the Special Branch was opressive to the Irish and that Littlechild has a homophobe for his prosecution of Wilde.
These edits were promptly removed several times by editor Ben W. Bell 2 - a pro British Irishman. The editor Necrothesp 3 -- who authored the article -- also removed various entries. I even reduced the entry to say that the formation of the Special Branch was oppressive to the Irish and nothing more. This too was removed under the excuse that I was offering a POV and not a neutral objective fact.
I was going to get administrators to act as third parties but became intimidated by one simple fact -- on Necrothesp's user page its states that he is a British cop and a member of the U.K. Territorial army. I could go on forever talking about why the British police should not be allowed to edit articles on Northern Ireland but that would be useless. I travel in the UK a great deal and the police have special powers to trace users of any BBS system.
Necrothesp and Ben W. Bell also kept posting on my talk page after I said I felt intimidated. I asked them nicely to leave unitl after the editing conflict wass resolved but they still kept posting. I feel very intimidated. I would like to revise the article with more solid sources but fear being ganged up on again by Necorthesp the cop and his friend Ben W. Bell. In the last entry he made on my talk page Necorthest suggested I leave Wikipedia altogether which is very intimidating coming from someone who is a policeman 4.
I would still like to edit the article but would like you or some other advocate to watch what is being said and done. Please help!
I look forward to hearing from you.

The way Aeon presented things to me, I felt a long break was justified, but the fact that other people felt that such a block was not warranted, have lead me to think that Aeon was a bit misleading. I'm just tired of this whole issue, but thank you very much for the update. RyanG e rbil10 (The people rejoice!) 23:15, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I hardly find it appropriate to put big screaming boxes at the top of usertalk pages. If you want to leave messages, I ask you put them at the bottom of the page under a new heading in plain text. I understand their position may have been a mistake - but please consider different ways of conveying the message. Thanks! Ian¹³ /t 17:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, i have contacted to my advocate (user:Pedant) and he seems willing to accept my case, i think the status can be changed to Open. Cheers, -- HappyApple 16:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd certainly be able to help, but I'm not certain that Joehazelton would think me an appropriate advocate, inasmuch as my userpage contains a (succinct and barely visible) profession to the effect that, even as I'm an anarcholibertarian, I support categorically the Democratic Party of the United States; to the extent that the problems at the Roskam article have devolved from simple content dispute, they seem to be connected to the avowed political views of the contributors. Should Joehazelton nevertheless be comfortable with me—to be sure, as in any other on-WP undertaking, I've no problem elevating encyclopedic neutrality over personal sentiment—I'd be altogether willing to help; shall I write him to query him apropos of this? :) Joe 02:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you didn't sign your recent posting at User talk:70.160.180.8. I'd add a sig via the unsigned template, but the user is both sensitive and (in my opinion) prone to misunderstanding, so I'm leaving this note for you instead. (And you're welcome to delete this note.) John Broughton 17:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

How can I set it up so my signature is in color and with a link in superscript to my talk page? regards DPeterson 12:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I found out about that because of a post on WP:AN, I think, or maybe it was WP:ANI. I handled it as an admin, not as an advocate, though: I blocked Sarner for personal attacks. I think I shouldn't ever use my admin powers in an AMA request: I understand that role to be advisory, and to compromise your neutrality.. Mango juice talk 15:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd rather not close it just yet, because the user with whom we are in dispute has gone on Wikibreak, so we'll have to see what happens when he returns. However, if you'd like, I can probably take on another case, since most of mine have died down a bit. -- David Mestel( Talk) 06:31, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I am available. / Fred- Chess 11:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
What a mess. This is going to take a lot of work. I've nominated the article for AID to see if we can get some help on this. See Wikipedia:Article_Improvement_Drive#Restorationism (1 vote, stays until August 15). Arch O. La Grigory Deepdelver 15:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Steve since the AMA is so short handed do you wish me to cut my leave short (And before you ask, I don't mind) Æon Insane Ward 23:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Roger that you now have an additional Advocate to work with. Æon Insane Ward 17:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Would you consider accepting a nomination for adminship? I realise that you haven't got very many edits, but I think that your activities with the AMA prove your suitability for the mop. -- David Mestel( Talk) 16:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Steve, thanks for the welcome. For my first case or so I would like to be more of a "second opinion" for other advocates until I get a better feel of the job. I am available for counseling if such a need arrives, though I am not sure the type counseling I have done in the past is needed on Wikipedia, but I am more than willing to assist if needed. Just drop me a note, and until then I will try to research other advocates contributions and the policies of the AMA. Have a great weekend. Kerusso 14:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I've added some questions to your RfA. When you have a minute, I'd appreciate if you would take a look at them. Thanks. JoshuaZ 16:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

CyclePat here reporting in for temporary AMA case. Short representation case with only 4 hours a week. Sorry. Only can do part-time. -- CyclePat 00:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Margana was rejecting consensus as a conspiracy. I had some input towards attempting to find common ground before David asked me to step back. "It's just that in such a sensitive case, I think it's often better to present a united front." The big question is if an admin got drawn into the edit war and blocked while involved. I didn't get involved in that discussion. Margana wanted a RfC but David reccommended against it. That's what I know, but I haven't been staying extremely current.
Oh, I'm ready for a case. Hit me.

I am sorry to inform you that your Request for Adminship (RfA) has failed to reach sufficient consensus for promotion, and has now been delisted and archived. Please do not look upon this outcome as a discouragement, but rather as an opportunity to improve. Try to address the concerns raised during your RfA and, in a few months' time, resubmit your request. Thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity! Redux 19:01, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I have pretty much every case finished. The two 'official ones' are closed... I'm wrapping up an 'off the radar' case, but I'm available as of now. In fact you can pretty much consider me always available unless I get into a deep case, or more than 3 at once. User:Pedant 08:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Please review the discussion on UUcp's page and on the Peter Paul, Peter F Paul pages to note that Uucp has a clear political agenda in editing the biography of a man who has become the nemesis of Hillary Clinton. The advocate that has attempted to intercede can not affect Uucp's intent to reedit the Peter F Paul bio page and deface and vandalize it based on his own agenda. he must be locked out of further defaceing the Disambiguity page and the bio page. thanks for your intervention. User:Cybertrend 09:10, 16 August 2006 (EST)
I would like to ask your assistance with Users FeloniusMonk and KillerChihauahua who continually revert the Paul Weyrich biography to language that I feel aims only to make Mr. Weyrich look bad. I have asked them numerous times to cease their vandalism to his biography, and they refuse. I see pure editorialization in their postings, and I have tried to instill fairness into the criticism section by eliminating direct accusations that are mischaracterizations and innuendos at best.
Considering that I have known Mr. Weyrich personally for five years, and I have had innumerable discussions with him regarding the subjects these two users insist upon inserting, I know they are ad hominem attacks. They also take his quotes out of context in what I feel is an effort to smear him.
I included remarks from Mr. Weyrich where he said he would not consider being part of a movement that would transform the United States into another Iranian-style theocracy. They were deleted, and the only reason I can guess is that these two individuals have an agenda to portray Mr. Weyrich as an extremist.-- 204.108.237.194 21:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
