Hi Chedzilla! Thanks for your advice, it's all a bit confusing to me right now (not even sure if I'm replying to you correctly!), but hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cassbag16 ( talk • contribs) 06:52, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I was sitting here watching you work away, and scratching my head, thinking "what is this guy up to?" ;) You currently have two references listed and one still inline... they should all probably be one way or the other. There is however a chance that someone might consider your efforts an unnecessary change and revert to an earlier version. From what I understand, neither ref-style is any more correct than the other. Oh well... we both got a laugh out of it. ;) Have fun, and happy editing! :) -- WikHead ( talk) 12:38, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey 'zilla; the editor upon whose page you dropped a note (you know the one) has been a problem before. And, from what I can gather, pretty consistently. You know how patient I am, but it was pretty obvious that there was edit-stalking going on in the past, and the editor brought their battle over to my talk page and just couldn't take a hint, no matter how I tried handling it. I had to ask them to stay off my talk (and that's a really rare occurrence – only two editors in over 17K edits have had that honour.) I'm personally inclined to think it may be time for a topic ban for this one, for anything horse-related, broadly construed, as the editor seems unable to shake off grudges and it's getting beyond a joke.

I'm lazy, I'm messy and I'll take all the help I can get :)
Basically the colouring book is finished, and people might add to it as it is, I figure my work is kind of done already except to link it up in other places. I figure it needs cross linking at least to the cases mentioned in see also, and that should finish completely any need for my involvement. I haven't even looked at your filled in references, and I like them already. Serious, I do, it's like that :) I know you have done a brilliant job. Penyulap ☏ 18:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

The behaviour from GabeMc has gone on too long for a wimp out action like you made here. Yes there are a few editors involved and the behaviour has been disgusting but one of the reasons this has continued for so many years is the "bulletproof" attitudes of a few editors involved. This is ridiculous for WP. We need, and they all admit it, some administrative leadership. WP policies state to take this type of behaviour to ANI and that is what I did, with great regret. I am beginning to think this whole thing is a joke. Editors are out of control, even onthe ANI page, while others ban people for asking a question or because they don't like them disagreeing with them. Oh, I know its true and could give you many examples of those action except for many of them are removed by admin people complete with the history diffs. The Internet is full of these reports with screen shots. Until somethng is done and some asses kicked the hyenas will continue. Trouble is, even the offenders want this action. Of course "it would never be me". In short, this behaviour has existed too long and people that are in charge have wimped out since about 2006, from I can see. This is *NOT* about the the/The Beatles issue but about the behaviour in the arguments. Don't let the offenders confuse you with their usual confusion techniques. Thanks for any help you can muster in this matter. 99.251.125.65 ( talk) 15:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
If you're like me, I think you'll find that WP is a much less frustrating place without the watchlist, especially when you're not watching admin noticeboards, and dispute loci, and talk pages of problem editors that you feel you "should" be watching, and new page patrol, and WT:RFA and its ilk, and having endless stupid discussions with really annoying people on how to Fix Wikipedia©, etc. My problem with quitting 100% completely is that there are about a dozen people here I actually like, and miss. This account has those dozen user talk pages watchlisted, and that's it (I don't even have MF's talk page watchlisted, even though it's usually entertaining, because I know I'll get pissed off watching the next round of taunting). As long as I can resist getting sucked into anything, I suspect this is the happier approach, although I'm not sure it will ever actually translate into a desire to get back to work. The only problem is that talking in character is hard, but I solved that problem by saying "fuck it", I'll talk like an edumacated monster. -- Floquenstein's monster ( talk) 22:09, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't have much discretionary time anymore which is why I'm not on Wikipedia as much. I got more into going to local races. I've gotten pretty good at photography and I spend time on it. I run out of time beyond the time that I upload images of the communities that I visit in life. I only started a few articles in the past year and I spent little time on improvement.

I first posted this at that other place but then I noticed that all the furniture was in disarray and old pizza boxes and Swanson TV dinners were strewn all over the place. Your Mick Jagger poster was in shreds and some old Bobby Darin record was repeating "...has such teeth, dear, and he shows them pearly white"...over and over again. The front door was wide open so any vagrant can just walk in and make himself at home. I would have stayed longer but the smell was unbearable. Anywho..... I just ran across Template:Friendship Barnstar and read what you said about me. A tear formed in my Left eye. (My Right eye never cries in public).

How little zilla doing? Hope not sad and lonely ? bishzilla ROARR!! 20:44, 6 December 2012 (UTC).
Hi...
I've undone your removal of the TV.com external links from numerous
Voyager articles. As the current form of the template states, it is under consideration for deletion. If the consensus is to delete, a bot will be tasked to remove it from all articles. If the consensus results in keeping the template, I will modify each Star Trek episode article (not just those of Voyager) to contain a fixed link. The current "dead link" condistion is occurring because the TV.com website re-organized, making the previously working URL's invalid. Again, if the template is kept, I'll repair the links. Also, in the future, if you encounter a dead link, please tag it so (using {{dead link}}
) to allow others an opportunity to notice the problem and repair it rather than simply deleting it out of hand. Thanks,

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Ched, it wasn't a well thought out edit. Nothing wrong with the infobox but waving the red "I'm doing this in defiance of the committee" edit summary. Obviously you gotta do what you think is right but any time I see one of the "gets it" admins on their way out it makes me sad.

Here are the things I think are really important: we have an ongoing problem with BLPs, particularly low-profile BLPs. We have a major problem with inaccurate, misleading, or outright dangerous medical misinformation. We have a real head-in-the-sand problem with regard to conflicts of interest.
If we could take one small fraction of the time, effort, and passion invested in the infobox question and instead apply it to problems that really matter, then things will be better here. MastCell Talk 22:39, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
I would like to point out the " wohltemperierte" discussion about an infobox for composer Talk:Robert Stoepel. There were comments such as

Honest? Wikipedia? When I was a lad Mad Magazine's parody of Serpico had frame in which the girlfriend said 'Serpico, you're one in a million' and he said 'Because I'm so brave and honest' and she said, 'No, your the only person in New York that didn't know cops were on the take.'
Yup. This place is pretty messed up. Don't know whether I know that better than others 'cause folks don't hold back as much around low edit count non-admins, or 'cause I spent so much time in the little cesspit know as WQA. But what's always keep me going is the no-so-few (such as the folks you listed at Flo's review) who rise above the fray and nonsense and just try to do the right thing.
Anyway, wrote an essay: The Committee. NE Ent 19:08, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
I think you've taken the correct path here. Given the last shit, I'm really thinking retirement is the best option. Been on the fence for some time, but I think this might have done it.

As this seems to be the water cooler place to be, I've had some thoughts. Has anyone noticed that the users most frequently targeted by the bullies and "abusive admins" of wikipedia are people who, from their personas and self-disclosure, appear to be older editors? i.e. "grownups." My question is if there is a generational divide here, and the treating of good editors being handled as if it were a MMRPGinstead of a workplace? If not a cause, then at least something making it worse? Just wondering. Also wondering of people with the mop are getting full of themselves on the same grounds - not old enough to know better. I believe that a few admins in that contingent probably ARE old enough to know better, but what sort of groupthink echo chamber have they fallen into? I guess "enquiring minds" are curious.

Ched, I'm afraid that I didn't contact Eric on the matter off wiki. I didn't see the point, as I've tried to engage with him a number of times in the past (at least 3), and generally it has been unproductive. I'm planning on dropping him a note today at some point, because I'm not willing to let things carry on like this. There's a few ways that we can move forward, hopefully Eric would be willing to agree to one. WormTT( talk) 08:09, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
I appreciate you taking a stand for allowing a diversity of voices and opinions to be heard on Wikipedia. The opinions may not all be valued equally, they may not all be given the same weight and space. But I don't believe any Editor who behaves reasonably and treats other with respect should be bullied, chased away from editing specific articles or be silenced by indefinite blocks.
I find myself in a position of defending Editors whose views I don't agree with simply because they seem to be unfairly targeted by others. I found myself reading Fastily's good-bye message this morning and saw a lot of points I am in agreement with. I also stumbled on to the Timid Guy/Will Beback ARBCOM case and read " Wikipedia's policy against harassment and outing takes precedence over the COI guideline."
One thing I'm left with wondering is why those who malign certain religious groups and those who have different belief systems appear more like zealots than those they are opposed to along with how they are blind to their own behavior. Liz Read! Talk! 23:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

The Internet is full of these reports with screen shots. Until somethng is done and some asses kicked the hyenas will continue. Trouble is, even the offenders want this action. Of course "it would never be me". In short, this behaviour has existed too long and people that are in charge have wimped out since about 2006, from I can see. This is *NOT* about the the/The Beatles issue but about the behaviour in the arguments. Don't let the offenders confuse you with their usual confusion techniques. Thanks for any help you can muster in this matter. 99.251.125.65 ( talk) 15:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
If you're like me, I think you'll find that WP is a much less frustrating place without the watchlist, especially when you're not watching admin noticeboards, and dispute loci, and talk pages of problem editors that you feel you "should" be watching, and new page patrol, and WT:RFA and its ilk, and having endless stupid discussions with really annoying people on how to Fix Wikipedia©, etc. My problem with quitting 100% completely is that there are about a dozen people here I actually like, and miss. This account has those dozen user talk pages watchlisted, and that's it (I don't even have MF's talk page watchlisted, even though it's usually entertaining, because I know I'll get pissed off watching the next round of taunting). As long as I can resist getting sucked into anything, I suspect this is the happier approach, although I'm not sure it will ever actually translate into a desire to get back to work. The only problem is that talking in character is hard, but I solved that problem by saying "fuck it", I'll talk like an edumacated monster. -- Floquenstein's monster ( talk) 22:09, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't have much discretionary time anymore which is why I'm not on Wikipedia as much. I got more into going to local races. I've gotten pretty good at photography and I spend time on it. I run out of time beyond the time that I upload images of the communities that I visit in life. I only started a few articles in the past year and I spent little time on improvement.

I first posted this at that other place but then I noticed that all the furniture was in disarray and old pizza boxes and Swanson TV dinners were strewn all over the place. Your Mick Jagger poster was in shreds and some old Bobby Darin record was repeating "...has such teeth, dear, and he shows them pearly white"...over and over again. The front door was wide open so any vagrant can just walk in and make himself at home. I would have stayed longer but the smell was unbearable. Anywho..... I just ran across Template:Friendship Barnstar and read what you said about me. A tear formed in my Left eye. (My Right eye never cries in public).

Hi...
I've undone your removal of the TV.com external links from numerous
Voyager articles. As the current form of the template states, it is under consideration for deletion. If the consensus is to delete, a bot will be tasked to remove it from all articles. If the consensus results in keeping the template, I will modify each Star Trek episode article (not just those of Voyager) to contain a fixed link. The current "dead link" condistion is occurring because the TV.com website re-organized, making the previously working URL's invalid. Again, if the template is kept, I'll repair the links. Also, in the future, if you encounter a dead link, please tag it so (using {{dead link}}
) to allow others an opportunity to notice the problem and repair it rather than simply deleting it out of hand. Thanks,

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Ched, it wasn't a well thought out edit. Nothing wrong with the infobox but waving the red "I'm doing this in defiance of the committee" edit summary. Obviously you gotta do what you think is right but any time I see one of the "gets it" admins on their way out it makes me sad.

Here are the things I think are really important: we have an ongoing problem with BLPs, particularly low-profile BLPs. We have a major problem with inaccurate, misleading, or outright dangerous medical misinformation. We have a real head-in-the-sand problem with regard to conflicts of interest.
If we could take one small fraction of the time, effort, and passion invested in the infobox question and instead apply it to problems that really matter, then things will be better here. MastCell Talk 22:39, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
I would like to point out the " wohltemperierte" discussion about an infobox for composer Talk:Robert Stoepel. There were comments such as

Honest? Wikipedia? When I was a lad Mad Magazine's parody of Serpico had frame in which the girlfriend said 'Serpico, you're one in a million' and he said 'Because I'm so brave and honest' and she said, 'No, your the only person in New York that didn't know cops were on the take.'
Yup. This place is pretty messed up. Don't know whether I know that better than others 'cause folks don't hold back as much around low edit count non-admins, or 'cause I spent so much time in the little cesspit know as WQA. But what's always keep me going is the no-so-few (such as the folks you listed at Flo's review) who rise above the fray and nonsense and just try to do the right thing.
Anyway, wrote an essay: The Committee. NE Ent 19:08, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
I think you've taken the correct path here. Given the last shit, I'm really thinking retirement is the best option. Been on the fence for some time, but I think this might have done it. I know you have a high opinion of Worm, but anyone who thinks you can indef and then expect "calm discussion" on a drama board is either confused or hopelessly idealistic.

As this seems to be the water cooler place to be, I've had some thoughts. Has anyone noticed that the users most frequently targeted by the bullies and "abusive admins" of wikipedia are people who, from their personas and self-disclosure, appear to be older editors? i.e. "grownups." My question is if there is a generational divide here, and the treating of good editors being handled as if it were a MMRPGinstead of a workplace? If not a cause, then at least something making it worse? Just wondering. Also wondering of people with the mop are getting full of themselves on the same grounds - not old enough to know better. I believe that a few admins in that contingent probably ARE old enough to know better, but what sort of groupthink echo chamber have they fallen into? I guess "enquiring minds" are curious.

Ched, I'm afraid that I didn't contact Eric on the matter off wiki. I didn't see the point, as I've tried to engage with him a number of times in the past (at least 3), and generally it has been unproductive. I'm planning on dropping him a note today at some point, because I'm not willing to let things carry on like this. There's a few ways that we can move forward, hopefully Eric would be willing to agree to one. WormTT( talk) 08:09, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
I appreciate you taking a stand for allowing a diversity of voices and opinions to be heard on Wikipedia. The opinions may not all be valued equally, they may not all be given the same weight and space. But I don't believe any Editor who behaves reasonably and treats other with respect should be bullied, chased away from editing specific articles or be silenced by indefinite blocks.
I find myself in a position of defending Editors whose views I don't agree with simply because they seem to be unfairly targeted by others. I found myself reading Fastily's good-bye message this morning and saw a lot of points I am in agreement with. I also stumbled on to the Timid Guy/Will Beback ARBCOM case and read " Wikipedia's policy against harassment and outing takes precedence over the COI guideline."
One thing I'm left with wondering is why those who malign certain religious groups and those who have different belief systems appear more like zealots than those they are opposed to along with how they are blind to their own behavior. Liz Read! Talk! 23:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
