Hello again,
I've submitted Barbara Gordon for FAC, but I am having a bit of trouble with the first comment in the review dealing with in-universe style prose. I'm not sure how to correct this without using the phrase "The character" over and over again. Do you have any thoughts? Bookkeeperoftheoccult ( talk) 11:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Something that been bothering me for a while- All the sources in the article clearly state that Babara Gordon was created by Julius Schwartz and Carmine Infantino. Gardner Fox happened to be the first person to write for the character. Should all three be cited as her creators or simply Schwartz and Infantino?

you have edited a paragraph in the Rhetoric article. I think it is balanced. What was not balanced, however, was the assumed notion in the previous version that Ramism could have had an influence on catholic education, which, clearly, was ruled out, from the very moment Ramus took up chair at the Royal College, against the will of the faculty of theology at the Sorbonne.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.241.111.119 ( talk • contribs) This is supported by the work of French scholar M Fumaroli (see ref somewhere below in the entry). In addition what I wrote helps explain the link between prayer and oration in the Jesuit frame of mind, and also shows that the Ratio was used for a long time indeed ( I myself was partly taught by it!).

Hi! Just dropping by to congratulate you on your work fighting vandals. However, I spotted your recent report at AIV ( here) and removed it; I did so partly because the user's last warnings were last year, and they seem to have stopped after your warning. I'm thinking that the IP address was dynamic or shared, meaning that it was a different user than previously. For IPs, try to give the IP a full run of warnings if their last warnings were a while ago; as mentioned above, they can switch hands quite often. Keep up the good work!

Hey,
So this is probably the completely wrong place, and possibly person, for this question, but, well honestly, I haven't got the patience to do it right.
To wit: I chose you because you commented on the Jung entry. I've known about Jung for a while and have just begun getting more interested in his work, but I'm held back by this nagging feeling that the archetypes are suspiciously a historical. The materialist in me just can't get her head around any kind of type that transcends all cultures. I mean, a hawk definitely means something different to me than it does to a New Guinean tribesmen. And of course I know I'm bumping up against the problem all materialist have addressing issues of spirituality, but what the heck, I mean I can bang my head against the wall as well as anyone.
I'm not suggesting that you weigh in on the topic of archetypal ahistoricism, but if you could suggest an article or two on the topic, I'd be eternally (sic) grateful.

Since it was a lot of hard work, I'm trying to work out what else you might find objectionable. I've cut the specific part you refer to, so it will read:
Is that acceptable? I've also, according to the Style Guidelines cut out the frequent CAC emboldening (which I had been misinformed was standard), and taken out some of the headings' extraneous capitalisation (there was only one), as per the guidance you pointed me to... didn't recall reading that specific part before. How odd. Will it be enough of a fix? I've checked the Style pages, and can't see anything else glaringly out of line, so if you have an objection, please let me know, so I can try to do it in one edit (using the 'Show preview' key to parse for other slight errors). ntnon ( talk) 02:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I basically try to avoid saying DC Universe or Marvel Universe in an article because it's really insular and is unimportant to the average reader. Best to stick to the concrete facts (dude stars in a comic book by [insert company]). Really, unless the article is Earth-Two or something, I see no reason to mention that a piece of fiction takes place in a given fictional universe in an article.

I see that you are a prolific contributor to Wikipedia and I wonder how someone has that much time on his hands (given that most people sleep 8 hours a day). I am guessing that you devote the other 16 hours to Wikipedia.
Recently, you commented on an ongoing discussion between Tenebrae and myself regarding my father's (Vincent Colletta) Wikipedia page. You seemed to say, basically, "give it a rest" as did Tenebrae.
I am in the unique position of defending my dad, as I'm sure you would be doing if your father's Wikipedia page contained quotes that were exceedingly defamatory (Evanier, Wein). For the record, I also consider them to be unneccesary within the context of a biography.
I am going to go out on a limb and venture a guess that you did not view the entire list of 87 creators that were created by Tenebrae before commenting. I will suggest that you do so but, if you don't feel that it is required reading, I will summarize what I found.
My original assessment of the percentage of creators that had nothing but positive quotes in their bios was going to be around 90% but as I continued to read the bios I have changed that to 99%. Of the few bios that contained derogatory quotes (Abel, Alascia, DuBay, Fraccio, Powell and Rico), only one of them, a quote by Allen Bellman about Don Rico, was as vile as the Evanier and Wein quotes about Vinnie. Similarly, Bellman's entry was a "he said" type of quote akin to Evaniers which I feel is inappropriate for an encyclopedic subject.
My last post to Tenebrae was to ask whether a quote that I found about my father, that was not from a blog or talklist, would be considered. My post to you, however, asks that you thoroughly research a subject before commenting on it. If you research this one, you will find that the negative quotes on the Vincent Colletta Wikipedia page, and their level of contempt, are completely out of proportion to the rest of the creators biographies done by Tenebrae. I am also sending this discussion to him for his consideration and re-consideration of how unbalanced my father's biography is in comparison with those of his peers.

I appreciated your reply concerning admin recall; my own objection runs along similar lines. In my view administrators are ultimately "responsible" to the community in the ministerial sense of the term. Part of being an administrator is knowing the limits of appropriate conduct and knowing when it's time to resign. I refuse anything like a recall category but, as you say, that doesn't imply that I'm unaccountable. By the same token, previous problems with the recall category indicate that administrators who categorize as such aren't any more accountable than anyone else. Chalk it up to the lack of an actual de-adminship system beyond the Arbitration Committee and public humiliation. Mackensen (talk) 21:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

We definitely need to push comics editors more towards becoming skilled at writing and research. The guidelines and attention to the more mechanical-yet-essential items like category cleanup and image tagging are great, but the areas of research and just plain decent writing has been the most lacking in the project. I think there also needs to be some mass merging of characters into character lists (something like "List of Batman supporting characters", "List of Avengers members", and the like) or outright deletion, along the lines of what you guys have been doing with the Amalgam characters. After all, not every comics character is Superman, who's one of the most-studied fictional characters ever, or Charlie Brown or Batman, who are pervasive in their own right. I mean, I doubt there anything that the mainstream media, academia, or even the comics press has much if anything to say about Rocket Racer, Captain Cold, or Avengers Mansion.

Thanks for the note on VandalProof. Yes, you are wise to advise caution in the use of the program. The first (and only time) I used it, my revert took effect a split second after another editor had reverted the vandalism and I ended up reverting the revert (ie. reinstating the vandalism). Whilst I quickly undid this, the situation did indeed unnerve me as I had never had the same problem with Twinkle (which seems to stop simultaneous reverts). I have since started using Twinkle again. Which anti-Vandal program would you recommend? Congratulations s on the admin appointment too by the way. Kind regards-- Calabraxthis (talk) 10:00, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Doczilla. Congratulations on your appointment. I dropped by just before your RfA was due to close (I thought), intending to read your answers and cease being neutral. Apparently I got my time changes wrong, because it was already closed, and thus I remain in Switzerland - alone and aloof, and with plenty of chocolate and good skiing. On second thoughts, that might not be so bad...
Anyway, I would have supported if I had been online at the right moment. I almost did so in response to your question on my talk page, as the fact that you stopped to consider the potential issue for both Aminz and me speaks of a level of good sense that is sometimes lacking around this place. I think you are choosing to work in an area of some delicacy, but I trust your judgement will hold you in good stead. I'd be happy to continue talking about some of the issues I have raised, now outside the RfA environment, if you would like - I'll leave it to you, just drop by my talk page. :)
By the way, you are probably wondering the headline I have chosen. It is meant in jest, and refers to one of the comments I received from a postgrad student when she found out I held an academic appointment: "Oh my god, I'm going to have to be afraid of you from now on!"
One final thought, if you are looking for something nice and non-controversial to work on, there is a user CfD on Rouge Admins that needs to be closed, and since you haven't commented... :)

Regarding your edit to my barnstar images [21]: (1) Do you really think you should be editing other people's user pages? If you felt I'd been wrong to use that image, wouldn't a note on my talk page have been more appropriate? Give people a chance to do the right thing before you force it on them. (2) I did find your page. I just didn't bother mentioning it to you. (3) Regardless of which, I made no direct claim about having found your secret page. You don't own that image. That's a cool star image which I was using to represent all the hidden pages I've found because the images in most of them are fairly lackluster and I only wanted to use one of them in that dropbox.

Hey Doc,
I saw your reversion to my changes to Batman and thought I'd give some reasoning behind it; I had been reading through the article, got to the Equipment section and wanted to look at the Batmobile page. Since there wasn't a link there I had to ctrl-f the whole page to find one. To save other people doing this and to make navigation easier I think there should be a link in the Equipment section; as it explicitly talks about his vehicles. As such I don't consider the link I added to be redundant. If it's ok I'm going to reinstate the link in the main body of the text.

The "only warning" accompanied a notice that the user was a suspected sockpuppet of Dingbat2007, who is a persistent and prolific vandal and has been community banned. Under normal circumstances, I would have begun with a level-1 warning, but this IP address came from the same provider as all of Dingbat's other mischief, and followed the exact same M.O., such as changing years by one in indiscriminate places, concentrating on Amarillo, Texas and Yuma, Arizona TV stations, and adding bogus subchannel affiliations with NBC Weather Plus. My actions, and those of the user who reported him to AIV, were appropriate in this circumstance. dhett ( talk • contribs) 01:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
User talk:76.195.180.84 is one of nearly 100 suspected socks of User:Dingbat2007 -- as noted at [22]. Each user has the same M.O. and posting pattern. He has been reported a myriad of times, with nothing done short of banning full-fledged usernames on sight, and banning individual IPs for a short period when he surfaces with those. As I understand it, since he has an established history as a sock, he can be banned on sight; and a simple notification on the AIV page serves as notification -- especially since the IP in question fits both the posting method of operation and the IP range used by the proven sock. This is how I have been told to operate in the past with this regard. If this is not correct, please let me know, and please included your comments within Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations, as this is how the members of said group have operated with regard to this particular sock. If more formal conversation needs to take place, let me know, and I can forward this to WP:ANI. Thanks. -- Mhking ( talk) 15:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't see how any one has a right to delete some ones work from here. Wikipedia is a Encyclopedia for people to gain knowledge about things in life, pop culture and things from around the world. The Wolf Hunter film it's self is a film that has lots of fans and supporters as does the character. I think just because its not as well known as Freddy or Jason does not mean it should not be on here. I have already seen that some one else has edited the article as well. I think that if this does go off its a shame and what kind of Encyclopedia for the people rob people from learning about films and characters from a independent film.

Hi. You removed my AIV report for this IP address citing that it was a school address without recent vandalism. I don't think it is a school address since it vandalised at 1am this morning, and the WHOIS details for the IP address would contain details of the school if it was one.

Rest assured, I have read each comment thoroughly and will be addressing the various concerns raised as I step cautiously into my new role as janitor.

To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong).
To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)

User Tanja Fleischer was banned for so called disruptive editing. All she did was add a section about Autism and rape to the talk page, talk page only, of the Autism article. It was serious and not intended to be offensive or vandalism at all, but she along with her either friends or family were banned by another user. Her friends or family had done nothing at all and she had done nothing wrong. I was hoping you would unblock her and her family or friends, they are listed on each other's user pages. She only edited the talk page and had good intentions in mind.-- Jquandar, I'm not logged it right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.5.168.66 ( talk) 20:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
-- Jquandar ( talk) 20:32, 23 August 2008 (UTC) I'm logged in now, I wrote the message about the unfair ban, but forgot to log in at the time.
The blocked accounts were clearly sockpuppets of Jquandar, an Encyclopedia Dramatica user who has tried to popularize her or his story about autism and rape. This user has tried in the past to insert references to his non-notable story into Wikipedia. All three accounts that I blocked were created at the same time, linked to each other, and shared names of characters from the story. Showing up on a talk page and trying to start a Mary-Sue type discussion about controversial claims like this is, to me, obvious trolling. When someone else pointed this out on the talk page, TanjaFleischer pretended it was just a coincidence, which is as clear an indication of bad faith as one could ask for.
In short, these were all obvious socks of Jquandar, they were editing in bad faith. That Jquandar just happens to show up here and pretend to be unconnected is, in my mind, further compounding the bad faith, and if it were up to me, I'd block him for that, too. But I'll let you make that call.

Hey, I'm not sure if you've got the time, judging by the top of your page, but, well, ThuranX is starting to get uncivil with me. On the talk page for the Dark Knight film, I responded to User: Bignole but put my comment before ThuranX because mine was a one-shot comment not intended for it to be responded to. Now, he moves it below his, and basically says I was rude. What I then did is move it back and indent it in farther, so that his comment is clearly responding to Bignole and NOT to me. Yet, he seems to think that's how it looks, and he reverted it. The reason I'm coming to you is this: I fear I'm dangerously close to 3RR, something that I don't want to do I assure you, but the problem is this guy doesn't seem to respond well to, well, civility. On my talk page, he assumes I want to start a fight with him, to which he says "Bring it on" and in his edit summary to the talk page, where he moved my comment again, he calls my action "vandalism." He is calling me a vandal and I am taking that as a personal attack, one which, in my opinion, is unwarranted. I'm not saying you should step in now, but if you could possibly keep an eye on the situation, as I would feel better knowing there is an admin watching the entire situation. I don't plan on reverting if he does move my comment again but at the same time I cannot let him aggravate me like this. So, yeah, whatever you can do in your spare time would be much appreciated.

you have edited a paragraph in the Rhetoric article. I think it is balanced.

Hi! Just dropping by to congratulate you on your work fighting vandals. However, I spotted your recent report at AIV ( here) and removed it; I did so partly because the user's last warnings were last year, and they seem to have stopped after your warning. I'm thinking that the IP address was dynamic or shared, meaning that it was a different user than previously. For IPs, try to give the IP a full run of warnings if their last warnings were a while ago; as mentioned above, they can switch hands quite often. Keep up the good work!

Hey,
So this is probably the completely wrong place, and possibly person, for this question, but, well honestly, I haven't got the patience to do it right.
To wit: I chose you because you commented on the Jung entry. I've known about Jung for a while and have just begun getting more interested in his work, but I'm held back by this nagging feeling that the archetypes are suspiciously a historical. The materialist in me just can't get her head around any kind of type that transcends all cultures. I mean, a hawk definitely means something different to me than it does to a New Guinean tribesmen. And of course I know I'm bumping up against the problem all materialist have addressing issues of spirituality, but what the heck, I mean I can bang my head against the wall as well as anyone.
I'm not suggesting that you weigh in on the topic of archetypal ahistoricism, but if you could suggest an article or two on the topic, I'd be eternally (sic) grateful.

I want to thank Mrs.EasterBunny and Royalbroil for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. To paraphrase a president ... I wish my mum and dad could see the comments made. My dad would be so proud to see the comments ... and my mum would have believed them". I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and you may be surprised to find that I have not deleted all of the pages by accident..... yet).

...I'm sorry I took your point as some kind of accurate statement, I didn't think everything needed references. Could you explain what you mean by "too many problems ", before I re-edit it again..? What else do you think was 'wrong'? ntnon ( talk) 01:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Since it was a lot of hard work, I'm trying to work out what else you might find objectionable. I've cut the specific part you refer to, so it will read:
Is that acceptable? I've also, according to the Style Guidelines cut out the frequent CAC emboldening (which I had been misinformed was standard), and taken out some of the headings' extraneous capitalisation (there was only one), as per the guidance you pointed me to... didn't recall reading that specific part before. How odd. Will it be enough of a fix? I've checked the Style pages, and can't see anything else glaringly out of line, so if you have an objection, please let me know, so I can try to do it in one edit (using the 'Show preview' key to parse for other slight errors). ntnon ( talk) 02:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry you felt I am inexperienced to become an admin. I hope that by performing more edits on Wikipedia in the next few months that I could possibly change your mind by my next RfA, possibly around May 2008. In addition, if you have reviewed my edit history, you would have found that I have edited pages covering aviation, higher education, Hong Kong, San Francisco Bay Area, Florida, engineering, roads and highways, schools, and my latest project, getting WP:ROBO up and running actively. This includes participation in WP:FLA, WP:UNI, WP:HK, WP:SFBA, WP:ENGINEERING, and others. I hope by participating in more AfD discussions and NPP work that I can expand my work to even more categories so I may change your mind. - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 04:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Isn't Wikipedia supposed to be where anyone with knowledge can contribute to the overall community? I have made contributions to two pages in Wikipedia, Morph (comics) and Changeling (Comics). These edits were based upon input in the respective discussion pages. But four times now (the last by you) my changes were undone. All of my edits were constructive and not vandalous in nature. Is this what Wikipedia is about? Everybody can contribute, but only so long as they hold to the opinions of a collective few? - robertcoogan 16:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

When we revert vandalism by someone who already received a level 4 warning, any other warnings make it seem like, "Oh, we didn't really mean it when we said that was your last warning," like the parent who says, "This is the last time I'm going to tell you" five times before taking action. What about something like this: [9] I'd like some feedback on this as a possible template for non-admins to use when they revert past a level 4 warning. Thanks.

Thanks, but with IPs we have to account for the possibility that they are shared, ie. the person using the IP today is a different person from the one using it yesterday.

I saw your post to Jc37's talk page. A checkuser isn't required to block an obvious sock.

Yeah, I basically try to avoid saying DC Universe or Marvel Universe in an article because it's really insular and is unimportant to the average reader. Best to stick to the concrete facts (dude stars in a comic book by [insert company]). Really, unless the article is Earth-Two or something, I see no reason to mention that a piece of fiction takes place in a given fictional universe in an article. Fictional story is told via relevant medium (film/comics/TV/etc.); simple as that.
As an aside, even though I have no interest in the series, I really hate the term "Buffyverse". WesleyDodds ( talk) 09:13, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
first of all a edit war tag was justified because he failed to make a point of making it a topic on the disccusison page in the first place which shows bad faith and not even given a reason for the first revert of my change because when i made the change i sited a valid reason,also the change i made was to already unsourced material just to make it mesh and make sence with the article section,so it was not me just makeing something up,and he just ended up removing the paragraph anyway so it makes sence now siteing the part was unsourced anyway-- Mikmik2953 ( talk) 15:59, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Why did you mark the section about his name as trivia? I received the quote directly from him, since according to him it's one of the questions he's most frequently asked ("Is that your real name?"). Therefore I think it's relevant to the biographical article. Likewise, his self-imposed word limit has direct relevance to how he composes his Pot Shots. (Mentioning the one violation of his own rule might be a bit trivial, though.)

The proof is: Osama bin Muhammad bin 'Awad bin Laden (Arabic: أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن; born 10 March 1957),[1] most often mentioned as Osama bin Laden or Usama bin Laden, is a militant Islamist and is believed to be the founder of the Jihadist organization called Al-Qaeda. 116.0.33.47 ( talk) 06:41, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
If he a Jew then why not it should be mention where as Osama bin ladin mentioned about his religion. Why not this for Mr. Daniel Pipes. Please answer, otherwise, i will go and will change that again. This is a false policy. There should be only one policy. 116.0.33.47 ( talk) 06:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

To make sure my intent is clear, I want to state explicitly that I am not in any way trying to provoke controversy or to imply improper action by anyone.

I see that you are a prolific contributor to Wikipedia and I wonder how someone has that much time on his hands (given that most people sleep 8 hours a day). I am guessing that you devote the other 16 hours to Wikipedia.
Recently, you commented on an ongoing discussion between Tenebrae and myself regarding my father's (Vincent Colletta) Wikipedia page. You seemed to say, basically, "give it a rest" as did Tenebrae.
I am in the unique position of defending my dad, as I'm sure you would be doing if your father's Wikipedia page contained quotes that were exceedingly defamatory (Evanier, Wein). For the record, I also consider them to be unneccesary within the context of a biography.
I am going to go out on a limb and venture a guess that you did not view the entire list of 87 creators that were created by Tenebrae before commenting. I will suggest that you do so but, if you don't feel that it is required reading, I will summarize what I found.
My original assessment of the percentage of creators that had nothing but positive quotes in their bios was going to be around 90% but as I continued to read the bios I have changed that to 99%. Of the few bios that contained derogatory quotes (Abel, Alascia, DuBay, Fraccio, Powell and Rico), only one of them, a quote by Allen Bellman about Don Rico, was as vile as the Evanier and Wein quotes about Vinnie. Similarly, Bellman's entry was a "he said" type of quote akin to Evaniers which I feel is inappropriate for an encyclopedic subject.
My last post to Tenebrae was to ask whether a quote that I found about my father, that was not from a blog or talklist, would be considered. My post to you, however, asks that you thoroughly research a subject before commenting on it. If you research this one, you will find that the negative quotes on the Vincent Colletta Wikipedia page, and their level of contempt, are completely out of proportion to the rest of the creators biographies done by Tenebrae. I am also sending this discussion to him for his consideration and re-consideration of how unbalanced my father's biography is in comparison with those of his peers.

I appreciated your reply concerning admin recall; my own objection runs along similar lines. In my view administrators are ultimately "responsible" to the community in the ministerial sense of the term. Part of being an administrator is knowing the limits of appropriate conduct and knowing when it's time to resign. I refuse anything like a recall category but, as you say, that doesn't imply that I'm unaccountable. By the same token, previous problems with the recall category indicate that administrators who categorize as such aren't any more accountable than anyone else. Chalk it up to the lack of an actual de-adminship system beyond the Arbitration Committee and public humiliation. Mackensen (talk) 21:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

We definitely need to push comics editors more towards becoming skilled at writing and research. The guidelines and attention to the more mechanical-yet-essential items like category cleanup and image tagging are great, but the areas of research and just plain decent writing has been the most lacking in the project. I think there also needs to be some mass merging of characters into character lists (something like "List of Batman supporting characters", "List of Avengers members", and the like) or outright deletion, along the lines of what you guys have been doing with the Amalgam characters. After all, not every comics character is Superman, who's one of the most-studied fictional characters ever, or Charlie Brown or Batman, who are pervasive in their own right. I mean, I doubt there anything that the mainstream media, academia, or even the comics press has much if anything to say about Rocket Racer, Captain Cold, or Avengers Mansion.

Thanks for the note on VandalProof. Yes, you are wise to advise caution in the use of the program. The first (and only time) I used it, my revert took effect a split second after another editor had reverted the vandalism and I ended up reverting the revert (ie. reinstating the vandalism). Whilst I quickly undid this, the situation did indeed unnerve me as I had never had the same problem with Twinkle (which seems to stop simultaneous reverts). I have since started using Twinkle again. Which anti-Vandal program would you recommend? Congratulations s on the admin appointment too by the way. Kind regards-- Calabraxthis (talk) 10:00, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Doczilla. Congratulations on your appointment. I dropped by just before your RfA was due to close (I thought), intending to read your answers and cease being neutral. Apparently I got my time changes wrong, because it was already closed, and thus I remain in Switzerland - alone and aloof, and with plenty of chocolate and good skiing. On second thoughts, that might not be so bad...
Anyway, I would have supported if I had been online at the right moment. I almost did so in response to your question on my talk page, as the fact that you stopped to consider the potential issue for both Aminz and me speaks of a level of good sense that is sometimes lacking around this place. I think you are choosing to work in an area of some delicacy, but I trust your judgement will hold you in good stead. I'd be happy to continue talking about some of the issues I have raised, now outside the RfA environment, if you would like - I'll leave it to you, just drop by my talk page. :)
By the way, you are probably wondering the headline I have chosen. It is meant in jest, and refers to one of the comments I received from a postgrad student when she found out I held an academic appointment: "Oh my god, I'm going to have to be afraid of you from now on!"
One final thought, if you are looking for something nice and non-controversial to work on, there is a user CfD on Rouge Admins that needs to be closed, and since you haven't commented... :)

Working the article Avengers: The Initiative, I am trying to figure out how to hide some of the more list-y things, to tighten up the appearance of the article, specifically the sections entitled 'Characters Involved' and 'List of Teams by State'. However, some of that wiki-magic is stuff I don't know how to do. Is there a template for show/hide? Any other advice on how to tighten up the article would be helpful. I am kinda opposed to the list, but there is considerable resistance to that idea. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 18:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

For whatever reason, the most coherent survivor seems to be mentioning Bishy's name more often than yours, so you're probably somewhat in the clear on this.

Regarding your edit to my barnstar images [21]: (1) Do you really think you should be editing other people's user pages? If you felt I'd been wrong to use that image, wouldn't a note on my talk page have been more appropriate? Give people a chance to do the right thing before you force it on them. (2) I did find your page. I just didn't bother mentioning it to you. (3) Regardless of which, I made no direct claim about having found your secret page. You don't own that image. That's a cool star image which I was using to represent all the hidden pages I've found because the images in most of them are fairly lackluster and I only wanted to use one of them in that dropbox. For a while, I included the award from the first hidden page I found, but I've found far too many of them to crowd the page with any of them. Doczilla STOMP! 04:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Doc,
I saw your reversion to my changes to Batman and thought I'd give some reasoning behind it; I had been reading through the article, got to the Equipment section and wanted to look at the Batmobile page. Since there wasn't a link there I had to ctrl-f the whole page to find one. To save other people doing this and to make navigation easier I think there should be a link in the Equipment section; as it explicitly talks about his vehicles. As such I don't consider the link I added to be redundant. If it's ok I'm going to reinstate the link in the main body of the text. Whether the earlier link (in "New-Look") still remains is up to you.
Please give me a shout via talk if you feel that's incorrect. Cheers,

The "only warning" accompanied a notice that the user was a suspected sockpuppet of Dingbat2007, who is a persistent and prolific vandal and has been community banned. Under normal circumstances, I would have begun with a level-1 warning, but this IP address came from the same provider as all of Dingbat's other mischief, and followed the exact same M.O., such as changing years by one in indiscriminate places, concentrating on Amarillo, Texas and Yuma, Arizona TV stations, and adding bogus subchannel affiliations with NBC Weather Plus. My actions, and those of the user who reported him to AIV, were appropriate in this circumstance. dhett ( talk • contribs) 01:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
User talk:76.195.180.84 is one of nearly 100 suspected socks of User:Dingbat2007 -- as noted at [22]. Each user has the same M.O. and posting pattern. He has been reported a myriad of times, with nothing done short of banning full-fledged usernames on sight, and banning individual IPs for a short period when he surfaces with those. As I understand it, since he has an established history as a sock, he can be banned on sight; and a simple notification on the AIV page serves as notification -- especially since the IP in question fits both the posting method of operation and the IP range used by the proven sock. This is how I have been told to operate in the past with this regard. If this is not correct, please let me know, and please included your comments within Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations, as this is how the members of said group have operated with regard to this particular sock. If more formal conversation needs to take place, let me know, and I can forward this to WP:ANI. Thanks. -- Mhking ( talk) 15:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't see how any one has a right to delete some ones work from here. Wikipedia is a Encyclopedia for people to gain knowledge about things in life, pop culture and things from around the world. The Wolf Hunter film it's self is a film that has lots of fans and supporters as does the character. I think just because its not as well known as Freddy or Jason does not mean it should not be on here. I have already seen that some one else has edited the article as well. I think that if this does go off its a shame and what kind of Encyclopedia for the people rob people from learning about films and characters from a independent film.

Hi. You removed my AIV report for this IP address citing that it was a school address without recent vandalism. I don't think it is a school address since it vandalised at 1am this morning, and the WHOIS details for the IP address would contain details of the school if it was one.

I would like to thank the community for placing their trust in me during my recent request for adminship, which passed 72 13 2 . Rest assured, I have read each comment thoroughly and will be addressing the various concerns raised as I step cautiously into my new role as janitor. In particular, I would like to thank Balloonman for putting so much time into reviewing my contributions and writing such a thoughtful nomination statement after knowing me for only a brief period of time (and for convincing me that I was ready to take up the mop now, rather than go through admin coaching).
To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong).
To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)

User Tanja Fleischer was banned for so called disruptive editing. All she did was add a section about Autism and rape to the talk page, talk page only, of the Autism article. It was serious and not intended to be offensive or vandalism at all, but she along with her either friends or family were banned by another user. Her friends or family had done nothing at all and she had done nothing wrong. I was hoping you would unblock her and her family or friends, they are listed on each other's user pages. She only edited the talk page and had good intentions in mind.-- Jquandar, I'm not logged it right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.5.168.66 ( talk) 20:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
-- Jquandar ( talk) 20:32, 23 August 2008 (UTC) I'm logged in now, I wrote the message about the unfair ban, but forgot to log in at the time.
The blocked accounts were clearly sockpuppets of Jquandar, an Encyclopedia Dramatica user who has tried to popularize her or his story about autism and rape. This user has tried in the past to insert references to his non-notable story into Wikipedia. All three accounts that I blocked were created at the same time, linked to each other, and shared names of characters from the story. Showing up on a talk page and trying to start a Mary-Sue type discussion about controversial claims like this is, to me, obvious trolling. When someone else pointed this out on the talk page, TanjaFleischer pretended it was just a coincidence, which is as clear an indication of bad faith as one could ask for.
In short, these were all obvious socks of Jquandar, they were editing in bad faith. That Jquandar just happens to show up here and pretend to be unconnected is, in my mind, further compounding the bad faith, and if it were up to me, I'd block him for that, too. But I'll let you make that call.
Hope this helps, and no need to apologize just for asking for a sanity check. I'm always happy to oblige. Nandesuka ( talk) 12:48, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I'm not sure if you've got the time, judging by the top of your page, but, well, ThuranX is starting to get uncivil with me. On the talk page for the Dark Knight film, I responded to User: Bignole but put my comment before ThuranX because mine was a one-shot comment not intended for it to be responded to. Now, he moves it below his, and basically says I was rude. What I then did is move it back and indent it in farther, so that his comment is clearly responding to Bignole and NOT to me. Yet, he seems to think that's how it looks, and he reverted it. The reason I'm coming to you is this: I fear I'm dangerously close to 3RR, something that I don't want to do I assure you, but the problem is this guy doesn't seem to respond well to, well, civility. On my talk page, he assumes I want to start a fight with him, to which he says "Bring it on" and in his edit summary to the talk page, where he moved my comment again, he calls my action "vandalism." He is calling me a vandal and I am taking that as a personal attack, one which, in my opinion, is unwarranted. I'm not saying you should step in now, but if you could possibly keep an eye on the situation, as I would feel better knowing there is an admin watching the entire situation. I don't plan on reverting if he does move my comment again but at the same time I cannot let him aggravate me like this. So, yeah, whatever you can do in your spare time would be much appreciated.

I've got a new editor going hell bent on the Hulk stuff, but he's refusing to use the talk pages.
At this point he's doing:
Right now I'm at the 3RR point on the Hulk template, I've warned him about disruptive editing on his talk, and he's still blithely rolling along.
The editor is User:Williamstrother
Thanks

During my time before I made an account I added the similarities between Cyberiad and Tharok interms of design and you made this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Tharok&diff=172434983&oldid=172434912
If I may ask, how is it speculation. Aside from the different colors, they are exactly identical? I could see it being speculation if the design similarities were minimum. Antiyonder ( talk) 10:06, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Okay, so would stating him to be similar in every detail except for his coloring, be acceptable? Antiyonder ( talk) 01:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Ok then, how about looking exactly alike aside from the coloring. Besides, the comment did come with a link showing a picture of both Cyberiad and Tharok which would negate any speculations. Antiyonder ( talk) 23:11, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Doczilla, I must ask how it is that you are able to design such beautiful pages. Mine look just plain white, and I have 5000 readers less than you. Please tell me how you do it. I am dying to know. Please respond once you get the chance,

Dczilla, it's me again.
For starters, I would like to explain that my compuer crashed, but I had already seen one of your pages before. That's how I knew it was good. Sorry about any misunderstandings. You don't need to e-mail me back unless you just want to.

Where that discussion on "how the lead sentence for a comic article should read" was? I remember a few of us hammered out a quite a good discussion and I would like to show it to another user.

Hi. Can you read this section and then offer your opinion on the points raised, specifically the issue of titles in the FCB, length and detail of given sections, what constitutes “fannishness”, etc.? Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 15:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
I posted a fuller explanation, with linked diffs, on his talk page. Daniel Case ( talk) 12:03, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
FYI, I have started to expand Comics in education and will continue to do so. (I know you thought it had merit to start with but since you were involved in the discussion I am bring you upto date. -- Cameron Scott ( talk) 21:49, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
