You mentioned Risker, whom I'm pinging now out of courtesy, with a curtsy. [/me curtsies to her highness] I'm not clear on what happened. What I know is that I blocked that account--somehow a CU is run, I presume because someone saw it too and pinged a CU, maybe. I don't know about inconsistencies (I'll reread the discussions), but it stands to reason (again, out of courtesy) that one would quietly mention this to the villain in question and discuss options--kind of like slipping Othello the knife behind his back. So, if there's some conversation, some options being mulled, it's not unlikely that there are differing accounts from different sides, and one certainly feels as if one side was a bit halting in producing a truthful account. (I'd be too, having lived in many a glass house.)
DDStretch, you do what you think is right; that's also why you're an admin. I didn't see a consensus to block, but one can easily read that discussion as "no consensus" in general. To put it another way, I doubt there would be much dissent with such a decision. What good it will do, I don't know. But I'll read the discussions again, and I appreciate your stopping by.

Kaldari's contributions point generally to someone who doesn't spend any significant time on the drama boards; he's mostly in article space or doing things like commenting on featured picture candidates; there are some admin-related edits on places like RFPP and some work in the "techie" realms as well. If he sticks to what he usually does on the project (absent the admin stuff), there shouldn't be much reason for concern; his decision to take a wiki-break implies he's had more than his fill of drama.

Civility complaints are fine. Sometimes they're justified. Often they go nowhere--this one simply didn't have any meat to it: one editor complaining about another editor's behavior is an NPA at best, and I'm sure Jimbo can separate his two roles, as Famous Person and as Wikipedia editor (I know Collect and a million others disagree, but hey, I'm the optimist). There's another thread (Mark, you commented in it as well) about that IPadPerson--now there's something to look into. Here's the dictum from the old guy: if a civility charge or two is all there is to it, there's nothing there. If there really is something there you'll find problems in other areas. With Collect, you have a BLP warrior who will interpret the guidelines (gasp!) as he thinks he should, but that's all there is to it. So what if he tells Jimbo, or me, to go stick it where the sun don't shine. In other words, I prefer to close some of these threads quickly since if there's no meat to them (in my judgment of course, and I can be wrong--I didn't see it with IPadPerson the first time) it just becomes another opportunity to rehash old, old problems. Before you know it that wanker Darkness Shines shows up again, and then all hell breaks loose. OK--time to do something else. Writ and 28, I am honored by your visit.

Av någon anledning har ett gäng admins gång på gång raderat bilder och mallar från Hafspajens diskussionssida, vilket gjorde användaren upprörd och till slut la upp ett "jag lämnar Wikipedia"-meddelande. Detta ledde till ett gäng wikilovemeddelanden från användare från enwp, vilka av någon anledning raderades. Därpå blockerades båda de användare som la in dessa meddelanden, Drmies och PaleCloudedWhite, på tre år (av MagnusA) resp obestämd tid (av Luttrad). Båda dessa är etablerade användare på enwp som troligen mest ville visa sitt stöd för en bekant som de upplevde behandlades felaktigt. Är detta verkligen blockeringsgrundande, speciellt utan att motivera blockeringarna mer än med "tramskonto"? Jag valde att omedelbart häva dessa blockeringar, och undrar nu vem som handlat fel i denna situation. / Grillo . Well. well. Hafspajen ( talk) 11:58, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
For some reason has a bunch of admins repeatedly deleted images and templates from the Hafspajens discussion page, made the user upset who finally left an "I'm leaving Wikipedia" message. (Acctually the message was leawing Swedish Wiki). This led to a bunch of wikilove messages from users from external wikis, which for some reason was deleted. Subsequently, they blocked both users who put these messages, Drmies for three years and PaleCloudedWhite, indefinitely (by admin MagnusA) and Luttrad. Both of these are established users on externalwikis that probably mostly wanted to show their support for an acquaintance who they felt was treated improperly. Is this is really a good idea especially without having to justify blocking more than with "nonsense account"? I chose to immediately rescind these blockages, and wonder now who acted wrongly in this situation. /Grillo . Well. well.

SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT Drmies: Attacks? Who is attacking anyone? An account is registered in the middle of the night and the first move it makes adding some nonsense images on a discussion page where it was discussed at the existence of irrelevant images with surging emotions as a result. Typical troll behavior. For me it was clear that someone is against Hafspajen. Even if it was the world's most experienced user from another language version that stood behind such a thing so I actually think it's quite ill judged by him. The blockage was in any case quite obvious to me. (Stated by administrator Luttrad who has an account here - by the way) Hafspajen ( talk) 12:48, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

SOME STORY from flicr The ship Swiks is still lying here after all these years. It was a three masted schooner from Mariehamn in the Ålands. Swiks had done many long journeys before, she had for example transported guano from the Seychelles to England.
The ship was at the time not carrying anything but ballast when a bad storm hit it just before midnigt on the 21 of December 1926.
The captain ordered her in to the Kalmar straits in order to escape the bad weather, however he miscalculated their position. If he had waited one more nautic mile he would have gone clear.
What happened instead was that she went straight up on the sand banks. Everyone in the crew managed to get away and even though they spent several hours in wet clothes in the snow storm trying to find their way out of the Troll Forest, they finally managed to find a cabin where people took care of them - everyone survived the wreck.
The waves threw the ship high up on the beach where it has remained until this day. A hurricane in 1954 broke the ship in half, and today only the forward part of the ship remains to be seen.
It is a monument to a wild coast with wild weather - just as much as the trees here in the Troll Forest are. Hafspajen ( talk) 13:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Drmies, I am not sure how interested you are in my pet peeves, but it never hurts to try, right?
Anyway, I believe I am not the only wikipedian who finds the use of the term female offensive when it is used to describe women who are notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. I also find the term male offensive when it is used in this context.
If you are wondering why I am picking on you, the reason is simple: I just discovered a category you created four years ago: Category:Female suicides which may be clinically and linguistically correct, however I am not sure family members of these women would construe it as such. Since many here emulate you , I just wanted to make you aware of the feelings of some wikipedians.

Dear Drmies,
Is there room for discussion on the wholesale edits you and others have made to the article?
You made three contributions, each of which I would like to add thoughts on for your consideration and perhaps find a more reasonable solution than the ones you took on board.
1. COI TAG. on the flag, I take no issue with your removing it. I added it because I am a particularly patriotic American -- but does that seriously mean I have biased the article in such a way that you feel COI is necessary? I created my own USER ID in my name so there would be no ambiguity about my contributions to the page. I did so after receiving that advice from three different Wikipedia editors as a way to manage disruptive editing and vandalism of the article, which has been frequent and quite intense over the years -- you only need review the history to see this. That I added relevant biographical materials in the most neutral way possible, I do not see where I did anything wrong. I strongly object to any insinuation that I have somehow made the article less neutral. And I also object to the Red Pen or NeilN complaint that somehow the people of public note with whom I had material interactions throughout my life are now to be deleted wholesale because it embellishes my record. I did those things stated. And with the people involved, good bad or indifferent. What gives you or any editor at Wikipedia the right to take that away from me while leaving anyone to shout their slurs and insults at me on the page at will?
2. OVERLINKING. Your point is correct, but you should know that just as you complain about overlinking, other editors of the article complained and tagged the article as inadequately sourced. I spent two days going through the internet to find as many possible publicly available references to insure the article was well-sourced, and you in one chop of the axe simply negated the intent of that work. It's as if no one is ever happy.
3. SUDAN DOCUMENT. Why was this taken out? The purpose of including it was to demonstrate the precise language used by Sudan's dictator to make the offer to the United States -- an offer that I negotiated and hand-carried back to the Clinton White House. Why, when an image of a document that proves a part of the article's assertions, is it so wrong to include it? People often accuse me of misstating facts. I never do. But when the proof exists to make that point, why would you take that away from the article's level of accuracy?
4. FORMULA ONE SECTION. While you did not take that out, I want that point made to you as well as the others. The issue there is as follows -- I agree that it is a convoluted section describing a business transaction that has not yet concluded and is quite complex and drawn out. So it is fair game to be deleted wholesale. But it is a material matter in my biography, just as Memogate was, just as Sudan and Kashmir were. To remove it wholesale after having it be part of the article for nearly a year now makes it appear as if you have some knowledge that the F1 deal with Lotus does not exist anymore, and that is both factually false and currently and significantly misleading.
Is there no room for middle ground? Can I suggest a way to do that, or is that forbidden?
I think the changes made to the article in the last hours are unfair in the whole. I can be helpful as a resource to work with you to make a better version that incorporates and includes many of the changes suggested. But a simple hatchet job is not the right way to do it.
I ask that the COI tag be removed. I have done nothing to the article that adds personal bias, and I have only added information that improved the quality of the biographical sketch.

Can you or one of your stalkers who has familiarity with US spellings please have a run through Henry Scholberg? I've been working on it with Solomon7968 but I think that the spellings s/b US because the guy spent most of his time there. I've fixed some but people in the US spell so many words incorrectly (ahem!) that I will have missed a lot. Do you spell "comprised" as "comprized", for example? I've never noticed that particular one with "z" but the general rule seems to be "-zed" and "-zing" rather than "-sed" and "-sing".
We've got more development to do on the article but I think there is enough in it now to warrant a copyedit for the basics. Solomon has nominated it for DYK, so I'd like something that is at least presentable on the MOS front.
Oh, and you'll hopefully be pleased to know that I've tidied up the William Beach Thomas thing, making use of that interlibrary source. It's at GAN now, although I was half-tempted to just whack it into FA. - Sitush ( talk) 00:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Hey Drmies, I've run across your name while editing/browsing Wikipedia in the past, and wanted to get somebody's opinion (I find approaching an experienced editor is more effective than posted to a talk page). The short version goes: I've created a History of Georgia Regents University page, and the appropriate sections on the Georgia Regents University page designate this page as the main article. As this exists, is it okay to change the current Augusta State University page (which is one of two universities that consolidated in 2013 to form GRU) to a simple redirect? As I state on my user page, I operate from a WP:COI even though I do my best to be WP:NPOV so I prefer running things by people before making potentially drastic changes such as this. Thanks for your time and advice! GRUcrule ( talk) 13:45, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
As for the COI, I'm not so concerned about it (also since you announced it), but I have yet to read that notice that sometimes shows up on Wikipedia pages, about the "new" COI policy. I encourage you to drop a line on the talk page of CorporateM, who is the MacDaddy of COI editing. Drmies ( talk) 22:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
A few notes
As for the subject at-hand, separate articles should be made for the predecessor organizations if combining them would surpass WP:LENGTH or if a complete history of one predecessor would overwhelm too much of the article. Another format is to create a sub-section for the predecessor organization's history, or to merely devote a few sentences to it, depending on how much content there is to add about it. CorporateM ( Talk) 19:36, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
I know comic books aren't that important in the grand scheme of things, but noting that the first super hero is female is historically significant and sheds new light on the medium; it is worth giving her a page for.

Hi, since you had the good luck of welcoming this editor I wanted to give a heads up about a potential COI problem. This person works for ALA which runs the Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction. They tried to delete the list of winners - and all secondary sources - and left a short note to visit the ALA website instead. [36] This is evidently an attempt to drive traffic to the ALA website and deny Wikipedia the list winners. I left a note on the user's page and hope there is not a revert. Also, File:Logo of The Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction & Nonfiction.png is now a source of contention, they keep trying to add Copyright watermarks to a Fair Use image. Fair Use is exactly that, we don't need copyright watermarks - they can contest Fair Use in the appropriate forum. Or upload to Commons under some other license if they can prove ownership. -- Green C 06:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank you and everyone else for all your work on Olga Mesmer. This is the last time I will bother you with super hero's; I have decent references for my future additions. However the addition of Wonder Woman to the category fictional Super Soldiers was contested. She fought more battles in WWII than any other super hero in DC; Superman was rejected for being 4-F, having accidentally read the eye chart in another room during his eye exam. I don't think those exact words would be used to describe her at the time, but if Jedi count than Wonder Woman should as well; her adventures were read by far more members of the military; women, men and children. I think she is the first female super soldier; only one year younger than captain America; perhaps also worth mentioning for women's history month. CensoredScribe ( talk) 19:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

A hacker is someone who loves to program or who enjoys playful cleverness, or a combination of the two.[3] The act of engaging in activities (such as programming or other media[4]) in a spirit of playfulness and exploration is termed hacking. However the defining characteristic of a hacker is not the activities performed themselves (e.g. programming), but the manner in which it is done: Hacking entails some form of excellence, for example exploring the limits of what is possible,[5] thereby doing something exciting and meaningful.[4] Activities of playful cleverness can be said to have "hack value" and are termed hacks[5] (examples include pranks at MIT intended to demonstrate technical aptitude and cleverness).So says Hacker (programmer subculture) Really? Since when is the hacker someone who became a romantic hero? And this has nothing to do with those guys Hacker (computer security)?

Hello Drmies,
There have been some further revelations concerning the disruptive editing on the above-mentioned talk page, which I have detailed at the ANI filing. As the only administrator to yet investigate the matter, I was wondering if I could impose upon you to look into the matter further. Specifically it has come to my attention that one of the two IP's involved (not the one you gave a warning to, but the other), is in fact a sock of autoconfirmed user Jono2013. Between these accounts and other IP's it seems he has long engaged in uncivil exchanges, legal threats, and general bad-faith behaviour with anyone who has attempted to correct promotional tone on the article in question, the subject of which he may have a COI regarding. The uncivil behaviour and disregard for a number of central policies ( WP:V and WP:NPOV especially), extend back about a year and after reviewing the article's edit, talk and AfD history at length, it's become hard for me to imagine the situation on that article stabilizing without a topic ban or some other sort of direct administrative action. Anyway, hate to burden you with the headache, but I thought you should know of the developments. Snow ( talk) 01:30, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure how I ran into Twelve Visions Party and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Twelve Visions Party but the more I look at it it gets weirder and weirder. Its goals seem to include "Sexual immortality, have the sexy body of you always evied , internal romatic love, enternal love making, biolagical immortality/stop the process of aging , brint the child of the past, have the love of your life." [45] (spelling errors not mine), its leader is actually a trademark that runs a secret society that some people say is a cult, etc. Take a look at my comments and links. And Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Twelve Visions Party where it's advocates have to post now it's protected. It will be interesting if it survives AfD. The cult and secret society aspects are just weird (and not mentioned in the article, although I'm tempted to add to the article that their leader Mark Hamilton is a trademark. I'm not sure if we can use sites such as [46] for a living person, but if Hamilton is a trademarked name then it's not Hamilton who is the living person, is it? The party itself seems to be a weird adaptation of Ayn Rand's ideas. I once heard her speak when I was an undergrad at Yale. I was sitting next to her with our seminar leader - he seemed quite amused that I was making paper airplanes during her talk. Dougweller ( talk) 13:50, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

An IP address registered to the subject of the article added link-bait, created an excessive Key People section, removed encyclopedic content, added promotional language, etc. They are a client of mine, but I do not know who made the edit. Of course lots of people work for the company and I can't control all of them.

User:Quale came to my Talk and accused me of creating a "problem" for the Wikipedia by "coddling and encouraging" famed sock Wiki brah. I did no such thing, ever. (In fact the opposite. I've encouraged Wiki brah in a thread on my Talk to not harass other editors.) Have I ever gone to one of many Wiki brah's user Talks and initiated dialogue there? No, never. Has he posted to my Talk? Yes. Have I treated him like a person, not a shit? Yes. (Why? Two reasons: 1] After receiving your admonishment that I should "leave him alone" and stop criticizing him, I took that to heart, subsequently promising to him that he could expect from me in future immediate discontinuation of same. [That apparently made him comfortable, and as a result he withdrew the anti-Ihardlythinkso measures he was endeavoring, and has shown trust by leaving his honest thoughts on my Talk now and then. Nothing wrong with that.] 2] He's never falsely accused me of anything [he once insulted me by stating I was "getting a hard-on" at Talk:Internet chess server, but he has subsequently apologized for same].) I see no advantage for either me or the pedia to be offensive to Wiki brah. (What's gained?) The fact is he has made a positive contribution with article David Taylor (chess player), and that we have even attempted a degree of collaboration to improve the article User talk:Ihardlythinkso#David Taylor shows that there might even be potential for long-term turning around of this user to contribute positively to the encyclopedia in the end (and what's wrong with that?).
The reason I have not treated Wiki bra with any disrespect at my user Talk, is that he has never falsely accused me of anything ever -- unlike several "regular editors" that Quale compliments and encourages. (False accusations don't seem to be recognized on the Wikipedia beyond "general incivility", when they are really defaming and slanderous lies about a person, so, I tend to respect an editor who does not go down in the dirt, and tend to disrespect editors who do, even though there is no Wiki policy covering same.) Bottomline: I've only been uncritical of Wiki brah, since my promise to him (stemming from your "order"). I've found no reason to not treat him like a person, since he seems to have some ethics to the extent that he doesn't falsely accuse me of bogus in attempt to defame and bait me.
I've encouraged him to not harass other editors. I've tried to collaborate with him where he's shown positive work. So now I get attacked by Quale's false accusation that I've "caused a problem" by "encouraging" Wiki brah. (Yes. I've encouraged him to turn around, indirectly, by my behaviors toward him. He can sock endlessly under current technology, so nothing wrong with that [encouraging a turn-around] and in fact I think it is the only rational response. Instead, User:Quale disparages and accuses without basis or truth. I'm supposed to suck it up? Nothing could be more untrue. Quale's was a total offense. But that is what the Wiki is famous and good for, right? Insulting the hell out of others, fraudulently, and then when people react normally [like Eric] and tell them to fuck off, they then get carried to the buring stake at ANI/Arbcom for WP:CIV infraction. That sucks. [I don't initiate trouble at WP; there is not even one diff in my entire editing history where I have. In those cases where I've been uncivil, it has without exception been in context of an editor going out of their way to throw shit, falsely accuse, or personally attack. No exceptions. {I used WP:DICK once against an editor, but I honestly did not think it was uncivil -- I was green then and thought it was Wiki-approved criticism where an editor is being a pain. So I'm not counting that since it wasn't intended as offense. There was maybe one other example of shoddiness from me in my history re inexcusable incivility.} But that's just boring fact.])
Thanks for reading. Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 07:51, 29 March 2014 (UTC) p.s. Quale is a fucker for accusing me of that shit. So will civility patrol block me now for saying? p.p.s. Can I ask you to please warn Quale. (I don't ever expect apology from that SOB.) Thank u.
What is roll-back? (I'd like to eliminate all my edits to any non- chess-variant article on WP. Can I select a target article and ask for or initiate undoing of edits I've made on the article myself? With special permission? What?) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 10:05, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
As for Quale, you know I'm not going to block you for those words, but my civility police badge was yanked a long time ago. I wish you would use different words. And you have to now that Wiki brah is deemed to be a longterm disruptor, and even talking to someone like that is deemed by some to be "coddling"--or, enabling. Their sock puppetry is a matter of record; that alone is sufficient for most users. I have a slightly different view and have had contact with them in the past, a little bit, but I don't think I was aware of who it was. As far as I'm concerned banned users are not automatically persona non grata, but you have to realize that the letter of the law (don't ask which one, I don't have my law books on me) says that Quale is in the right, and there are many admins who agree with that: no doubt some of them might be reading this and rolling their eyes. I did go ahead and block that last account because it's kind of my sworn duty, knowing full well that accounts for them are a dime a dozen. Personally I believe in rehabilitation. I simply wouldn't respond at length to those remarks: you're unlikely to change their mind and that's all there is to it. By the same token, I'm not going to warn Quale or anything like that since I can't really disagree with them even though I don't agree with them. My usual passive-aggressive stance, no doubt, or, live and let live. Does that answer your question? Take it easy, Drmies ( talk) 21:27, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
I've taken care when responding to Wiki brah at my Talk. I've encouraged him to not harass other editors; I've encouraged him to collaborate on development of his article contribution David Taylor (chess player). Where does Quale get off making false accusation I've created "problem" on the Wikipeda? Where does Quale get off making false accusation I've "encouraged" Wiki brah's disruptive activities on the Wikipedia? All of that is pure bullshit/false-blame.
I'm not playing manipulative or bad-faith games here. When Wiki brah posts to my Talk, I see a person who is not an active Wikipedian, but a potential one with some content and policy skills, and a person who is not indecent to me as many editors have been here by throwing false slanderous accusations and making bogus attacks. What you're telling me seems to be crazy dysfunction advocated by people I do not even know. I'm supposed to do what? Ignore Wiki brah with no response if he posts honestly and decently to my Talk? While some "regular editors" and admins have no problem giving me all kinds of shit and bogus defaming attacks? What kind of world goes by rules like that? A dysfunctional one. (I should be decent and civil to the people who've invented all kinds of shit and gone out of their way to throw it at me, and rather turn a cold shoulder to a potential Wikipedian who has shown some skills, and who has never offended me with a false accusation ever?? Those are the rules you want me to follow here?! Psychologists would call that a "crazy-making environment", Dr.!) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 22:27, 29 March 2014 (UTC) p.s. The fact that I've received a better cut of decency, honesty, and civility from in a banned socking troll on the Wikipedia, should give a thinking person pause as to the state of the hostile and abusive environment here at the Wikipedia, which is culturally encrusted and accepted as "norm". (I should bow down to that culture and show respect?! Oh yeah.) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 22:44, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
make friends with a longterm disruptive banned user [...] Some people think that having contact with such people is disruptive in its own right.Then those people are screwed up. I don't know what you mean or intend to suggest re "making friends". The only thing I have done is to drop the criticism of said user, and responding without making an enemy of him, when he has done nothing to me. ( Cassius Clay was a Vietnam War conscientious objector to the draft, stating he had no dispute with the North Vietnamese people, who had done nothing to him. [I say "ditto". For reasons already explained in detail.]) As mentioned I do not initiate contact w/ Wiki brah. I have only responded to him at my Talk when he has posted there. (So
some people think that having contact with such peopleneeds to be defined and limited to what it is, rather than spuriously implied to be wider and what it is not.) I have not asked you to enforce any rules. (I found Quale's accusation baseless and untrue and defamatory, and still do. You can't possibly understand how I might feel as a result, because you are not me in my shoes. I wasn't expecting anything, so don't worry 'bout it.) I don't mind Quale
not likingthat I'm cordial to Wiki brah -- but draw a line where he accuses me of having caused a problem on the Wikipedia thereby, and in "encouraging" Wiki brah to do bad here. [If anything, *he* encourages Wiki brah to do bad here, by actively targeting him as enemy, when that is irrational also, since nothing currently can stop sock productions.]) But I'm repeating myself also. (We both hate that!) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 05:23, 30 March 2014 (UTC) p.s. Please stop offering me to go to ANI ever, when you know my feelings about that are permanent. (If you didn't know, they are permanent. If I change my mind, please shoot me because it means I've gone insane and am helpful to no one and no purpose on the Earth. [p.p.s. I never said anything ever re
corrupt bunch of civil adminsor anything even like that re ANI. But I forgive you because you do a lot of stuff and your memory therefore ain't necessarily complete or accuate. I have advantage re memory over you since I'm not as busy and divided.

Dave Hepler is 44th President of the United States! During his administration, obesity rose 86 percent, America's food supply depleted in 7 months, and there was a McDonald's on every block in the country by his second year in office. The Presidents' heads on Mount Rushmore were demolished and replaced with Dave's head.
The Washington Monument became the Dave Monument, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials became the Dave Hepler Memorials. Also, Dave created a new department in his cabinet, the Department of Obesity, led by Secretary of Obesity Spark "E". Also, Dave Hepler demolished the United Nations and replaced it with the LigaNations. By his third year, Dave Hepler was so popular he declared on national television that he no longer was a Democrat.
He had formed his own party, called the Daveists, who had close ties with the Democrats. By 2012, Dave Hepler was already one the greatest Presidents in U.S. history, and he easily won his second term against Bill Soff, a Democrat. But crisis had already erupted by 2013. Dave had always dreamed of absorbing Canada into the United States, and with the entire country behind him, Dave declared war on Canada. During the mobilization of U.S. forces, the election of 2014 was a victory for the Democrats; they had still managed to hold a majority in Congress. In 2015, Canada invaded Alaska; as a result, Dave swore immediate retaliation. With the crisis in Canada, Dave gained the support needed to suspend the U.S. Constitution, allowing him to run for his third term as president, which he easily won.
Also, the Daveists had finally gained control of Congress during the election. As the war continued in Canada, Vice President LaRoyal was captured by Canadian forces in 2018. He was held prisoner until 2019 when he was executed by a Canadian firing squad. Dave retaliated with an unprecedented nuclear strike on Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Winepeg, Quebec City, and Prince Edward Island. This led the British Empire to declare war on America. Back in Washington, Dave Hepler won his 4th term as President, with Joey Rosa as new Vice-President. But that very day, Joey is killed in a tragic spanking accident when he informed his mother he was becoming Vice-President. So Dave chose Bill Soff as his new Vice-President. That same year, the British Navy was destroyed by massive U.S. forces; resulting in Britain’s surrender of Canada to the U.S. In the Treaty of Paris signed in 2021, Canada cedes from Britain.
The United States instantly absorbs Canada, just as Dave had always dreamed. In 2022, the Daveists still hold their grip on Congress, and Emperor Marmadou III of the Mexican “Empire” meets with Dave in the White House to discuss a Mexican alliance with America. But instead, Dave eats Marmadou and absorbs the Mexican “Empire”. In 2023, Dave renames the American “Empire”, Daveland. Dave sends Jacques into Siberia, who starts a neo-Stalinist revolution backed by D.L. (U.S.) Marines. One year later, Dave sends Vincent to Vatican City who overthrows the Pope and announces a New Holy Roman “Empire”, as a part of Dave’s idea of “Worldwide Revolution”, to absorb the entire world into Daveland. Vincent is first declared dictator of the new "Empire" for ten years, then for life. Back in Daveland (U.S.), the Daveists maintained control of Congress and Dave won his fifth term as President. In 2025, Dave declares himself Kaiser Hepler of the First Daveist Reich. The office of Vice-President is dissolved and Bill Soff leaves the country in shame.
Meanwhile, Jacques begins his "March on Moscow" where he intiates a coup d'etait, and systematically gases the entire government and names himself the Czar of the second empire of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Dave pulls his most daring move yet, as he gains complete political power by abolishing Congress. Dave's word is now law. In 2026, Russian sympathetics retaliate against Jacques' new government by storming the Daveist Embassy in Iran and killing 5 Daveland diplomats. Dave invades Australia and establishes a militaristic puppet government led by former Secretary of Obesity, Mike Spark "E" Etling, now Admiral of the Royal Navy du Australia. After only two years the Soviet Empire falls into massive economic depression due to large-scale nuclear build up. Dave annexes, then absorbs the Soviet Empire. He now fully controls land on three seperate continents. In response to the killing of the diplomats in Iran, Dave launches troops in Iran via his new Russian territory. 10 million Iranians are executed military style in the first week of the offensive.By two weeks 25 million Iranians are dead, the government is overthrown.
Dave now prepares to expand his empire into the Middle East. To reach this end, Dave organizes the neo-Squadristi and assigns them the task of bringing Daveism to the Middle East. In 2028, a small anti-Daveist fringe group tries to set up Presidential and Congressional elections to "stick it to the Dave." Turnout is very low and Dave wins 80% of the vote anyway. The anti-Daveists responsible for this election are placed in a gas chamber. Dave appoints rising star Jacques as Il Duce of his neo-Squadristi assigned to spread Daveism in the Middle East. Meanwhile, in Italy, after 4 years of secret military buildup and mobilization, Pope Vincent unleashes the massive modern army of the New Holy Roman Empire. Within 6 months, he captures Berlin, Paris, London, Madrid, Lisbon, Dublin, Vienna, Brussels, and Geneva. Vincent coincided his invasion on the day European leaders were holding a “neo-Congress of Vienna” in Austria. When they are found by Roman troops they are all machine-gunned to death and beyond. With no leaders the countries of Europe have little choice but to join the “Concert of Europe,” a.k.a. the Holy Roman Empire. Chaten, The Legendary 4th Amigo of the former Mexican “Empire” and half-brother of Marmadou, goes to Washington to plea for Mexican independence.
Dave imprisons him and sentences him to Guantanamo Bay. For his only phone call Chaten asks the other 2 amigos to bust him out and help him free Mexico so he can inherit the crown that was rightfully his. In 2029, Dave announces his plans to add Mongolia to his Asian Empire. Instead of declaring all out war on Mongolia, Dave sends the only remaining descendent of Genghis Khan in to stir up trouble in Mongolian politics. In only two months, Mortimer Khan has been named Prime Minister of Mongolia. He immediately set up a Daveist government and killed anyone who objected. He was now the sole power in Mongolia. When the time came for Mongolia to be absorbed into the Daveist Empire, Khan foolishly refused, believing Mongolia could deflect a Daveist invasion. Dave declares war on Mongolia and mobilization in Russia begins. Daveland troops begin to mass at the Russo-Mongolian border. Khan believed that if Dave invaded Mongolia, his Chinese neighbors would come to their aid. The day before the scheduled invasion, Dave offers Khan one last chance to end this conflict peacefully. Khan refuses again and calls the President of China to ask for help. Even though China has the world’s 2nd largest army, navy, air force, nuclear capabilities, ect. in the world (next to Dave), they are still a formidable opponent to Daveland and if these abilities were used properly Dave could be defeated. But China refused to become involved in the crisis.
Without Chinese support, Mongolia lost before the war even started. Dave decides to use the same tactics in Iran, capturing citizens and killing them to mount opposition against the government. Dave’s full force sweeps in shortly afterwards with little resistance. When they reach the capital they find Khan in a “spider hole.” He is immediately airlifted to Washington and brought before Dave, who rips out his jugular vein with his teeth. Khan dies an agonizing death. Once Daveland troops gain control of the country, the top Mongolian General offers Dave the crown of the Mongolian throne. Dave accepts and absorbs Mongolia. Dave is now knocking on China’s door! Near the year’s end a massive jailbreak occurs in Guantanamo Bay. Two unknown Mexicans, later identified as Greg and Robbie, the 2nd and 3rd Amigos respectively used a bulldozer and a dozen Cubans to break into the compound. The Legendary 4th Amigo is freed along with twenty other anti-Daveists. They are all transported to a Japanese naval cruiser, which sets course for Japan. Dave intercepts the cruiser with a nuclear sub and destroys the ship. All aboard are found dead and accounted for, except Greg, Robbie, and Chaten, who escaped in a mini-submarine five minutes before the explosion. They hide in Titanic’s wreckage where Daveland subs will not find them. After the heat cools down, they travel to Somalia and set up a Mexican base there as a launching point for an Anti-Daveist worldwide revolution.

You mentioned Risker, whom I'm pinging now out of courtesy, with a curtsy. [/me curtsies to her highness] I'm not clear on what happened. What I know is that I blocked that account--somehow a CU is run, I presume because someone saw it too and pinged a CU, maybe. I don't know about inconsistencies (I'll reread the discussions), but it stands to reason (again, out of courtesy) that one would quietly mention this to the villain in question and discuss options--kind of like slipping Othello the knife behind his back. So, if there's some conversation, some options being mulled, it's not unlikely that there are differing accounts from different sides, and one certainly feels as if one side was a bit halting in producing a truthful account. (I'd be too, having lived in many a glass house.)
DDStretch, you do what you think is right; that's also why you're an admin. I didn't see a consensus to block, but one can easily read that discussion as "no consensus" in general. To put it another way, I doubt there would be much dissent with such a decision. What good it will do, I don't know. But I'll read the discussions again, and I appreciate your stopping by.

Kaldari's contributions point generally to someone who doesn't spend any significant time on the drama boards; he's mostly in article space or doing things like commenting on featured picture candidates; there are some admin-related edits on places like RFPP and some work in the "techie" realms as well. If he sticks to what he usually does on the project (absent the admin stuff), there shouldn't be much reason for concern; his decision to take a wiki-break implies he's had more than his fill of drama.

Civility complaints are fine. Sometimes they're justified. Often they go nowhere--this one simply didn't have any meat to it: one editor complaining about another editor's behavior is an NPA at best, and I'm sure Jimbo can separate his two roles, as Famous Person and as Wikipedia editor (I know Collect and a million others disagree, but hey, I'm the optimist). There's another thread (Mark, you commented in it as well) about that IPadPerson--now there's something to look into. Here's the dictum from the old guy: if a civility charge or two is all there is to it, there's nothing there. If there really is something there you'll find problems in other areas. With Collect, you have a BLP warrior who will interpret the guidelines (gasp!) as he thinks he should, but that's all there is to it. So what if he tells Jimbo, or me, to go stick it where the sun don't shine. In other words, I prefer to close some of these threads quickly since if there's no meat to them (in my judgment of course, and I can be wrong--I didn't see it with IPadPerson the first time) it just becomes another opportunity to rehash old, old problems. Before you know it that wanker Darkness Shines shows up again, and then all hell breaks loose. OK--time to do something else. Writ and 28, I am honored by your visit.

Av någon anledning har ett gäng admins gång på gång raderat bilder och mallar från Hafspajens diskussionssida, vilket gjorde användaren upprörd och till slut la upp ett "jag lämnar Wikipedia"-meddelande. Detta ledde till ett gäng wikilovemeddelanden från användare från enwp, vilka av någon anledning raderades. Därpå blockerades båda de användare som la in dessa meddelanden, Drmies och PaleCloudedWhite, på tre år (av MagnusA) resp obestämd tid (av Luttrad). Båda dessa är etablerade användare på enwp som troligen mest ville visa sitt stöd för en bekant som de upplevde behandlades felaktigt. Är detta verkligen blockeringsgrundande, speciellt utan att motivera blockeringarna mer än med "tramskonto"? Jag valde att omedelbart häva dessa blockeringar, och undrar nu vem som handlat fel i denna situation. / Grillo . Well. well. Hafspajen ( talk) 11:58, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
For some reason has a bunch of admins repeatedly deleted images and templates from the Hafspajens discussion page, made the user upset who finally left an "I'm leaving Wikipedia" message. (Acctually the message was leawing Swedish Wiki). This led to a bunch of wikilove messages from users from external wikis, which for some reason was deleted. Subsequently, they blocked both users who put these messages, Drmies for three years and PaleCloudedWhite, indefinitely (by admin MagnusA) and Luttrad. Both of these are established users on externalwikis that probably mostly wanted to show their support for an acquaintance who they felt was treated improperly. Is this is really a good idea especially without having to justify blocking more than with "nonsense account"? I chose to immediately rescind these blockages, and wonder now who acted wrongly in this situation. /Grillo . Well. well.

SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT Drmies: Attacks? Who is attacking anyone? An account is registered in the middle of the night and the first move it makes adding some nonsense images on a discussion page where it was discussed at the existence of irrelevant images with surging emotions as a result. Typical troll behavior. For me it was clear that someone is against Hafspajen. Even if it was the world's most experienced user from another language version that stood behind such a thing so I actually think it's quite ill judged by him. The blockage was in any case quite obvious to me. (Stated by administrator Luttrad who has an account here - by the way) Hafspajen ( talk) 12:48, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

There was a relatively small and relatively loud group of Swedish students at Alabama; I don't think any of them were athletes (the Icelanders at my current school are usually soccer players), they were business students mostly. Much fun, and meatball dinners.

Now, if, as is suggested here, block on sight is the culture there, then something probably needs to change--it's just bad advertisement for the project, and Wikilove was invented precisely to make the atmosphere less charged, even less formal.

SOME STORY from flicr The ship Swiks is still lying here after all these years. It was a three masted schooner from Mariehamn in the Ålands. Swiks had done many long journeys before, she had for example transported guano from the Seychelles to England.
The ship was at the time not carrying anything but ballast when a bad storm hit it just before midnigt on the 21 of December 1926.
The captain ordered her in to the Kalmar straits in order to escape the bad weather, however he miscalculated their position. If he had waited one more nautic mile he would have gone clear.
What happened instead was that she went straight up on the sand banks. Everyone in the crew managed to get away and even though they spent several hours in wet clothes in the snow storm trying to find their way out of the Troll Forest, they finally managed to find a cabin where people took care of them - everyone survived the wreck.
The waves threw the ship high up on the beach where it has remained until this day. A hurricane in 1954 broke the ship in half, and today only the forward part of the ship remains to be seen.
It is a monument to a wild coast with wild weather - just as much as the trees here in the Troll Forest are. Hafspajen ( talk) 13:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Drmies, I am not sure how interested you are in my pet peeves, but it never hurts to try, right?
Anyway, I believe I am not the only wikipedian who finds the use of the term female offensive when it is used to describe women who are notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. I also find the term male offensive when it is used in this context.
If you are wondering why I am picking on you, the reason is simple: I just discovered a category you created four years ago: Category:Female suicides which may be clinically and linguistically correct, however I am not sure family members of these women would construe it as such. Since many here emulate you , I just wanted to make you aware of the feelings of some wikipedians.

Why am I putting German stuff into that article you ask? You'll see (or maybe you already know and I'm being presumptuous). If you could check my translation I would be eternally grateful. I briefly thought to ask if you'd drive 150 miles west and take some pictures of the place, but I thought better of it.

Dear Drmies,
Is there room for discussion on the wholesale edits you and others have made to the article?
You made three contributions, each of which I would like to add thoughts on for your consideration and perhaps find a more reasonable solution than the ones you took on board.
1. COI TAG. on the flag, I take no issue with your removing it. I added it because I am a particularly patriotic American -- but does that seriously mean I have biased the article in such a way that you feel COI is necessary? I created my own USER ID in my name so there would be no ambiguity about my contributions to the page. I did so after receiving that advice from three different Wikipedia editors as a way to manage disruptive editing and vandalism of the article, which has been frequent and quite intense over the years -- you only need review the history to see this. That I added relevant biographical materials in the most neutral way possible, I do not see where I did anything wrong. I strongly object to any insinuation that I have somehow made the article less neutral. And I also object to the Red Pen or NeilN complaint that somehow the people of public note with whom I had material interactions throughout my life are now to be deleted wholesale because it embellishes my record. I did those things stated. And with the people involved, good bad or indifferent. What gives you or any editor at Wikipedia the right to take that away from me while leaving anyone to shout their slurs and insults at me on the page at will?
2. OVERLINKING. Your point is correct, but you should know that just as you complain about overlinking, other editors of the article complained and tagged the article as inadequately sourced. I spent two days going through the internet to find as many possible publicly available references to insure the article was well-sourced, and you in one chop of the axe simply negated the intent of that work. It's as if no one is ever happy.
3. SUDAN DOCUMENT. Why was this taken out? The purpose of including it was to demonstrate the precise language used by Sudan's dictator to make the offer to the United States -- an offer that I negotiated and hand-carried back to the Clinton White House. Why, when an image of a document that proves a part of the article's assertions, is it so wrong to include it? People often accuse me of misstating facts. I never do. But when the proof exists to make that point, why would you take that away from the article's level of accuracy?
4. FORMULA ONE SECTION. While you did not take that out, I want that point made to you as well as the others. The issue there is as follows -- I agree that it is a convoluted section describing a business transaction that has not yet concluded and is quite complex and drawn out. So it is fair game to be deleted wholesale. But it is a material matter in my biography, just as Memogate was, just as Sudan and Kashmir were. To remove it wholesale after having it be part of the article for nearly a year now makes it appear as if you have some knowledge that the F1 deal with Lotus does not exist anymore, and that is both factually false and currently and significantly misleading.
Is there no room for middle ground? Can I suggest a way to do that, or is that forbidden?
I think the changes made to the article in the last hours are unfair in the whole. I can be helpful as a resource to work with you to make a better version that incorporates and includes many of the changes suggested. But a simple hatchet job is not the right way to do it.
I ask that the COI tag be removed. I have done nothing to the article that adds personal bias, and I have only added information that improved the quality of the biographical sketch.

Can you or one of your stalkers who has familiarity with US spellings please have a run through Henry Scholberg? I've been working on it with Solomon7968 but I think that the spellings s/b US because the guy spent most of his time there. I've fixed some but people in the US spell so many words incorrectly (ahem!) that I will have missed a lot. Do you spell "comprised" as "comprized", for example? I've never noticed that particular one with "z" but the general rule seems to be "-zed" and "-zing" rather than "-sed" and "-sing".
We've got more development to do on the article but I think there is enough in it now to warrant a copyedit for the basics. Solomon has nominated it for DYK, so I'd like something that is at least presentable on the MOS front.

Hey Drmies, I've run across your name while editing/browsing Wikipedia in the past, and wanted to get somebody's opinion (I find approaching an experienced editor is more effective than posted to a talk page). The short version goes: I've created a History of Georgia Regents University page, and the appropriate sections on the Georgia Regents University page designate this page as the main article. As this exists, is it okay to change the current Augusta State University page (which is one of two universities that consolidated in 2013 to form GRU) to a simple redirect? As I state on my user page, I operate from a WP:COI even though I do my best to be WP:NPOV so I prefer running things by people before making potentially drastic changes such as this. Thanks for your time and advice! GRUcrule ( talk) 13:45, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
As for the COI, I'm not so concerned about it (also since you announced it), but I have yet to read that notice that sometimes shows up on Wikipedia pages, about the "new" COI policy. I encourage you to drop a line on the talk page of CorporateM, who is the MacDaddy of COI editing. Drmies ( talk) 22:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
A few notes
As for the subject at-hand, separate articles should be made for the predecessor organizations if combining them would surpass WP:LENGTH or if a complete history of one predecessor would overwhelm too much of the article. Another format is to create a sub-section for the predecessor organization's history, or to merely devote a few sentences to it, depending on how much content there is to add about it.

Hi, since you had the good luck of welcoming this editor I wanted to give a heads up about a potential COI problem. This person works for ALA which runs the Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction. They tried to delete the list of winners - and all secondary sources - and left a short note to visit the ALA website instead. [36] This is evidently an attempt to drive traffic to the ALA website and deny Wikipedia the list winners. I left a note on the user's page and hope there is not a revert. Also, File:Logo of The Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction & Nonfiction.png is now a source of contention, they keep trying to add Copyright watermarks to a Fair Use image. Fair Use is exactly that, we don't need copyright watermarks - they can contest Fair Use in the appropriate forum.

Thank you and everyone else for all your work on Olga Mesmer. This is the last time I will bother you with super hero's; I have decent references for my future additions. However the addition of Wonder Woman to the category fictional Super Soldiers was contested. She fought more battles in WWII than any other super hero in DC; Superman was rejected for being 4-F, having accidentally read the eye chart in another room during his eye exam. I don't think those exact words would be used to describe her at the time, but if Jedi count than Wonder Woman should as well; her adventures were read by far more members of the military; women, men and children. I think she is the first female super soldier; only one year younger than captain America; perhaps also worth mentioning for women's history month. CensoredScribe ( talk) 19:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

A hacker is someone who loves to program or who enjoys playful cleverness, or a combination of the two.[3] The act of engaging in activities (such as programming or other media[4]) in a spirit of playfulness and exploration is termed hacking. However the defining characteristic of a hacker is not the activities performed themselves (e.g. programming), but the manner in which it is done: Hacking entails some form of excellence, for example exploring the limits of what is possible,[5] thereby doing something exciting and meaningful.[4] Activities of playful cleverness can be said to have "hack value" and are termed hacks[5] (examples include pranks at MIT intended to demonstrate technical aptitude and cleverness).So says Hacker (programmer subculture) Really? Since when is the hacker someone who became a romantic hero? And this has nothing to do with those guys Hacker (computer security)?

Please take a look at this edit please. While it was unsigned, it's from Pete/Skyring. It immediately followed a post of mine. That presumably makes it a breach of our mutual IBAN. Many warnings have been issued in the past. I'd like to hope the response can go further this time. HiLo48 ( talk) 22:43, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello Drmies,
There have been some further revelations concerning the disruptive editing on the above-mentioned talk page, which I have detailed at the ANI filing. As the only administrator to yet investigate the matter, I was wondering if I could impose upon you to look into the matter further. Specifically it has come to my attention that one of the two IP's involved (not the one you gave a warning to, but the other), is in fact a sock of autoconfirmed user Jono2013. Between these accounts and other IP's it seems he has long engaged in uncivil exchanges, legal threats, and general bad-faith behaviour with anyone who has attempted to correct promotional tone on the article in question, the subject of which he may have a COI regarding. The uncivil behaviour and disregard for a number of central policies ( WP:V and WP:NPOV especially), extend back about a year and after reviewing the article's edit, talk and AfD history at length, it's become hard for me to imagine the situation on that article stabilizing without a topic ban or some other sort of direct administrative action. Anyway, hate to burden you with the headache, but I thought you should know of the developments. Snow ( talk) 01:30, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure how I ran into Twelve Visions Party and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Twelve Visions Party but the more I look at it it gets weirder and weirder. Its goals seem to include "Sexual immortality, have the sexy body of you always evied , internal romatic love, enternal love making, biolagical immortality/stop the process of aging , brint the child of the past, have the love of your life." [45] (spelling errors not mine), its leader is actually a trademark that runs a secret society that some people say is a cult, etc. Take a look at my comments and links. And Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Twelve Visions Party where it's advocates have to post now it's protected. It will be interesting if it survives AfD. The cult and secret society aspects are just weird (and not mentioned in the article, although I'm tempted to add to the article that their leader Mark Hamilton is a trademark. I'm not sure if we can use sites such as [46] for a living person, but if Hamilton is a trademarked name then it's not Hamilton who is the living person, is it? The party itself seems to be a weird adaptation of Ayn Rand's ideas. I once heard her speak when I was an undergrad at Yale. I was sitting next to her with our seminar leader - he seemed quite amused that I was making paper airplanes during her talk. Dougweller ( talk) 13:50, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

In the event you haven't seen it, your revert of the editor you blocked was just reverted by an IP from a university network.

An IP address registered to the subject of the article added link-bait, created an excessive Key People section, removed encyclopedic content, added promotional language, etc. They are a client of mine, but I do not know who made the edit. Of course lots of people work for the company and I can't control all of them. Anyways, it seems to me that currently WP:COI only allows me to remove "spam" but not necessarily spammy content and I was wondering if you would do the honors of a revert, presuming you come to the same conclusion as I.

Now somebody has added a citation needed tag in the Lead to an item that is properly-sourced in the body of the article. Per WP:LEAD, content does not require a redundant citation in the Lead.

User:Quale came to my Talk and accused me of creating a "problem" for the Wikipedia by "coddling and encouraging" famed sock Wiki brah. I did no such thing, ever. (In fact the opposite. I've encouraged Wiki brah in a thread on my Talk to not harass other editors.) Have I ever gone to one of many Wiki brah's user Talks and initiated dialogue there? No, never. Has he posted to my Talk? Yes. Have I treated him like a person, not a shit? Yes. (Why? Two reasons: 1] After receiving your admonishment that I should "leave him alone" and stop criticizing him, I took that to heart, subsequently promising to him that he could expect from me in future immediate discontinuation of same. [That apparently made him comfortable, and as a result he withdrew the anti-Ihardlythinkso measures he was endeavoring, and has shown trust by leaving his honest thoughts on my Talk now and then. Nothing wrong with that.] 2] He's never falsely accused me of anything [he once insulted me by stating I was "getting a hard-on" at Talk:Internet chess server, but he has subsequently apologized for same].) I see no advantage for either me or the pedia to be offensive to Wiki brah. (What's gained?) The fact is he has made a positive contribution with article David Taylor (chess player), and that we have even attempted a degree of collaboration to improve the article User talk:Ihardlythinkso#David Taylor shows that there might even be potential for long-term turning around of this user to contribute positively to the encyclopedia in the end (and what's wrong with that?).
The reason I have not treated Wiki bra with any disrespect at my user Talk, is that he has never falsely accused me of anything ever -- unlike several "regular editors" that Quale compliments and encourages. (False accusations don't seem to be recognized on the Wikipedia beyond "general incivility", when they are really defaming and slanderous lies about a person, so, I tend to respect an editor who does not go down in the dirt, and tend to disrespect editors who do, even though there is no Wiki policy covering same.) Bottomline: I've only been uncritical of Wiki brah, since my promise to him (stemming from your "order"). I've found no reason to not treat him like a person, since he seems to have some ethics to the extent that he doesn't falsely accuse me of bogus in attempt to defame and bait me.
I've encouraged him to not harass other editors. I've tried to collaborate with him where he's shown positive work. So now I get attacked by Quale's false accusation that I've "caused a problem" by "encouraging" Wiki brah. (Yes. I've encouraged him to turn around, indirectly, by my behaviors toward him. He can sock endlessly under current technology, so nothing wrong with that [encouraging a turn-around] and in fact I think it is the only rational response. Instead, User:Quale disparages and accuses without basis or truth. I'm supposed to suck it up? Nothing could be more untrue. Quale's was a total offense. But that is what the Wiki is famous and good for, right? Insulting the hell out of others, fraudulently, and then when people react normally [like Eric] and tell them to fuck off, they then get carried to the buring stake at ANI/Arbcom for WP:CIV infraction. That sucks. [I don't initiate trouble at WP; there is not even one diff in my entire editing history where I have. In those cases where I've been uncivil, it has without exception been in context of an editor going out of their way to throw shit, falsely accuse, or personally attack. No exceptions. {I used WP:DICK once against an editor, but I honestly did not think it was uncivil -- I was green then and thought it was Wiki-approved criticism where an editor is being a pain. So I'm not counting that since it wasn't intended as offense. There was maybe one other example of shoddiness from me in my history re inexcusable incivility.} But that's just boring fact.])
Thanks for reading. Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 07:51, 29 March 2014 (UTC) p.s. Quale is a fucker for accusing me of that shit. So will civility patrol block me now for saying? p.p.s. Can I ask you to please warn Quale. (I don't ever expect apology from that SOB.) Thank u.
What is roll-back? (I'd like to eliminate all my edits to any non- chess-variant article on WP. Can I select a target article and ask for or initiate undoing of edits I've made on the article myself? With special permission? What?) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 10:05, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
As for Quale, you know I'm not going to block you for those words, but my civility police badge was yanked a long time ago. I wish you would use different words. And you have to now that Wiki brah is deemed to be a longterm disruptor, and even talking to someone like that is deemed by some to be "coddling"--or, enabling. Their sock puppetry is a matter of record; that alone is sufficient for most users. I have a slightly different view and have had contact with them in the past, a little bit, but I don't think I was aware of who it was. As far as I'm concerned banned users are not automatically persona non grata, but you have to realize that the letter of the law (don't ask which one, I don't have my law books on me) says that Quale is in the right, and there are many admins who agree with that: no doubt some of them might be reading this and rolling their eyes. I did go ahead and block that last account because it's kind of my sworn duty, knowing full well that accounts for them are a dime a dozen. Personally I believe in rehabilitation. I simply wouldn't respond at length to those remarks: you're unlikely to change their mind and that's all there is to it. By the same token, I'm not going to warn Quale or anything like that since I can't really disagree with them even though I don't agree with them. My usual passive-aggressive stance, no doubt, or, live and let live. Does that answer your question? Take it easy, Drmies ( talk) 21:27, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
I've taken care when responding to Wiki brah at my Talk. I've encouraged him to not harass other editors; I've encouraged him to collaborate on development of his article contribution David Taylor (chess player). Where does Quale get off making false accusation I've created "problem" on the Wikipeda? Where does Quale get off making false accusation I've "encouraged" Wiki brah's disruptive activities on the Wikipedia? All of that is pure bullshit/false-blame.
I'm not playing manipulative or bad-faith games here. When Wiki brah posts to my Talk, I see a person who is not an active Wikipedian, but a potential one with some content and policy skills, and a person who is not indecent to me as many editors have been here by throwing false slanderous accusations and making bogus attacks. What you're telling me seems to be crazy dysfunction advocated by people I do not even know. I'm supposed to do what? Ignore Wiki brah with no response if he posts honestly and decently to my Talk? While some "regular editors" and admins have no problem giving me all kinds of shit and bogus defaming attacks? What kind of world goes by rules like that? A dysfunctional one. (I should be decent and civil to the people who've invented all kinds of shit and gone out of their way to throw it at me, and rather turn a cold shoulder to a potential Wikipedian who has shown some skills, and who has never offended me with a false accusation ever?? Those are the rules you want me to follow here?! Psychologists would call that a "crazy-making environment", Dr.!) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 22:27, 29 March 2014 (UTC) p.s. The fact that I've received a better cut of decency, honesty, and civility from in a banned socking troll on the Wikipedia, should give a thinking person pause as to the state of the hostile and abusive environment here at the Wikipedia, which is culturally encrusted and accepted as "norm". (I should bow down to that culture and show respect?! Oh yeah.) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 22:44, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
make friends with a longterm disruptive banned user [...] Some people think that having contact with such people is disruptive in its own right.Then those people are screwed up. I don't know what you mean or intend to suggest re "making friends". The only thing I have done is to drop the criticism of said user, and responding without making an enemy of him, when he has done nothing to me. ( Cassius Clay was a Vietnam War conscientious objector to the draft, stating he had no dispute with the North Vietnamese people, who had done nothing to him. [I say "ditto". For reasons already explained in detail.]) As mentioned I do not initiate contact w/ Wiki brah. I have only responded to him at my Talk when he has posted there. (So
some people think that having contact with such peopleneeds to be defined and limited to what it is, rather than spuriously implied to be wider and what it is not.) I have not asked you to enforce any rules. (I found Quale's accusation baseless and untrue and defamatory, and still do. You can't possibly understand how I might feel as a result, because you are not me in my shoes. I wasn't expecting anything, so don't worry 'bout it.) I don't mind Quale
not likingthat I'm cordial to Wiki brah -- but draw a line where he accuses me of having caused a problem on the Wikipedia thereby, and in "encouraging" Wiki brah to do bad here. [If anything, *he* encourages Wiki brah to do bad here, by actively targeting him as enemy, when that is irrational also, since nothing currently can stop sock productions.]) But I'm repeating myself also. (We both hate that!) Ihardlythinkso ( talk) 05:23, 30 March 2014 (UTC) p.s. Please stop offering me to go to ANI ever, when you know my feelings about that are permanent. (If you didn't know, they are permanent. If I change my mind, please shoot me because it means I've gone insane and am helpful to no one and no purpose on the Earth. [p.p.s. I never said anything ever re
corrupt bunch of civil adminsor anything even like that re ANI. But I forgive you because you do a lot of stuff and your memory therefore ain't necessarily complete or accuate. I have advantage re memory over you since I'm not as busy and divided. I've only ever said it is a "cesspool of irresponsibility" there.] Don't worry I picked up the points where you didn't contend against my view.)

Dave Hepler is 44th President of the United States! During his administration, obesity rose 86 percent, America's food supply depleted in 7 months, and there was a McDonald's on every block in the country by his second year in office. The Presidents' heads on Mount Rushmore were demolished and replaced with Dave's head.
The Washington Monument became the Dave Monument, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials became the Dave Hepler Memorials. Also, Dave created a new department in his cabinet, the Department of Obesity, led by Secretary of Obesity Spark "E". Also, Dave Hepler demolished the United Nations and replaced it with the LigaNations. By his third year, Dave Hepler was so popular he declared on national television that he no longer was a Democrat.
He had formed his own party, called the Daveists, who had close ties with the Democrats. By 2012, Dave Hepler was already one the greatest Presidents in U.S. history, and he easily won his second term against Bill Soff, a Democrat. But crisis had already erupted by 2013. Dave had always dreamed of absorbing Canada into the United States, and with the entire country behind him, Dave declared war on Canada. During the mobilization of U.S. forces, the election of 2014 was a victory for the Democrats; they had still managed to hold a majority in Congress. In 2015, Canada invaded Alaska; as a result, Dave swore immediate retaliation. With the crisis in Canada, Dave gained the support needed to suspend the U.S. Constitution, allowing him to run for his third term as president, which he easily won.
Also, the Daveists had finally gained control of Congress during the election. As the war continued in Canada, Vice President LaRoyal was captured by Canadian forces in 2018. He was held prisoner until 2019 when he was executed by a Canadian firing squad. Dave retaliated with an unprecedented nuclear strike on Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Winepeg, Quebec City, and Prince Edward Island. This led the British Empire to declare war on America. Back in Washington, Dave Hepler won his 4th term as President, with Joey Rosa as new Vice-President. But that very day, Joey is killed in a tragic spanking accident when he informed his mother he was becoming Vice-President. So Dave chose Bill Soff as his new Vice-President. That same year, the British Navy was destroyed by massive U.S. forces; resulting in Britain’s surrender of Canada to the U.S. In the Treaty of Paris signed in 2021, Canada cedes from Britain.
The United States instantly absorbs Canada, just as Dave had always dreamed. In 2022, the Daveists still hold their grip on Congress, and Emperor Marmadou III of the Mexican “Empire” meets with Dave in the White House to discuss a Mexican alliance with America. But instead, Dave eats Marmadou and absorbs the Mexican “Empire”. In 2023, Dave renames the American “Empire”, Daveland. Dave sends Jacques into Siberia, who starts a neo-Stalinist revolution backed by D.L. (U.S.) Marines. One year later, Dave sends Vincent to Vatican City who overthrows the Pope and announces a New Holy Roman “Empire”, as a part of Dave’s idea of “Worldwide Revolution”, to absorb the entire world into Daveland. Vincent is first declared dictator of the new "Empire" for ten years, then for life. Back in Daveland (U.S.), the Daveists maintained control of Congress and Dave won his fifth term as President. In 2025, Dave declares himself Kaiser Hepler of the First Daveist Reich. The office of Vice-President is dissolved and Bill Soff leaves the country in shame.
Meanwhile, Jacques begins his "March on Moscow" where he intiates a coup d'etait, and systematically gases the entire government and names himself the Czar of the second empire of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Dave pulls his most daring move yet, as he gains complete political power by abolishing Congress. Dave's word is now law. In 2026, Russian sympathetics retaliate against Jacques' new government by storming the Daveist Embassy in Iran and killing 5 Daveland diplomats. Dave invades Australia and establishes a militaristic puppet government led by former Secretary of Obesity, Mike Spark "E" Etling, now Admiral of the Royal Navy du Australia. After only two years the Soviet Empire falls into massive economic depression due to large-scale nuclear build up. Dave annexes, then absorbs the Soviet Empire. He now fully controls land on three seperate continents. In response to the killing of the diplomats in Iran, Dave launches troops in Iran via his new Russian territory. 10 million Iranians are executed military style in the first week of the offensive.By two weeks 25 million Iranians are dead, the government is overthrown.
Dave now prepares to expand his empire into the Middle East. To reach this end, Dave organizes the neo-Squadristi and assigns them the task of bringing Daveism to the Middle East. In 2028, a small anti-Daveist fringe group tries to set up Presidential and Congressional elections to "stick it to the Dave." Turnout is very low and Dave wins 80% of the vote anyway. The anti-Daveists responsible for this election are placed in a gas chamber. Dave appoints rising star Jacques as Il Duce of his neo-Squadristi assigned to spread Daveism in the Middle East. Meanwhile, in Italy, after 4 years of secret military buildup and mobilization, Pope Vincent unleashes the massive modern army of the New Holy Roman Empire. Within 6 months, he captures Berlin, Paris, London, Madrid, Lisbon, Dublin, Vienna, Brussels, and Geneva. Vincent coincided his invasion on the day European leaders were holding a “neo-Congress of Vienna” in Austria. When they are found by Roman troops they are all machine-gunned to death and beyond. With no leaders the countries of Europe have little choice but to join the “Concert of Europe,” a.k.a. the Holy Roman Empire. Chaten, The Legendary 4th Amigo of the former Mexican “Empire” and half-brother of Marmadou, goes to Washington to plea for Mexican independence.
Dave imprisons him and sentences him to Guantanamo Bay. For his only phone call Chaten asks the other 2 amigos to bust him out and help him free Mexico so he can inherit the crown that was rightfully his. In 2029, Dave announces his plans to add Mongolia to his Asian Empire. Instead of declaring all out war on Mongolia, Dave sends the only remaining descendent of Genghis Khan in to stir up trouble in Mongolian politics. In only two months, Mortimer Khan has been named Prime Minister of Mongolia. He immediately set up a Daveist government and killed anyone who objected. He was now the sole power in Mongolia. When the time came for Mongolia to be absorbed into the Daveist Empire, Khan foolishly refused, believing Mongolia could deflect a Daveist invasion. Dave declares war on Mongolia and mobilization in Russia begins. Daveland troops begin to mass at the Russo-Mongolian border. Khan believed that if Dave invaded Mongolia, his Chinese neighbors would come to their aid. The day before the scheduled invasion, Dave offers Khan one last chance to end this conflict peacefully. Khan refuses again and calls the President of China to ask for help. Even though China has the world’s 2nd largest army, navy, air force, nuclear capabilities, ect. in the world (next to Dave), they are still a formidable opponent to Daveland and if these abilities were used properly Dave could be defeated. But China refused to become involved in the crisis.
Without Chinese support, Mongolia lost before the war even started. Dave decides to use the same tactics in Iran, capturing citizens and killing them to mount opposition against the government. Dave’s full force sweeps in shortly afterwards with little resistance. When they reach the capital they find Khan in a “spider hole.” He is immediately airlifted to Washington and brought before Dave, who rips out his jugular vein with his teeth. Khan dies an agonizing death. Once Daveland troops gain control of the country, the top Mongolian General offers Dave the crown of the Mongolian throne. Dave accepts and absorbs Mongolia. Dave is now knocking on China’s door! Near the year’s end a massive jailbreak occurs in Guantanamo Bay. Two unknown Mexicans, later identified as Greg and Robbie, the 2nd and 3rd Amigos respectively used a bulldozer and a dozen Cubans to break into the compound. The Legendary 4th Amigo is freed along with twenty other anti-Daveists. They are all transported to a Japanese naval cruiser, which sets course for Japan. Dave intercepts the cruiser with a nuclear sub and destroys the ship. All aboard are found dead and accounted for, except Greg, Robbie, and Chaten, who escaped in a mini-submarine five minutes before the explosion. They hide in Titanic’s wreckage where Daveland subs will not find them. After the heat cools down, they travel to Somalia and set up a Mexican base there as a launching point for an Anti-Daveist worldwide revolution.
