hi! just wondering what the criteria were for deletion of this new article. i saw mention of the term in numerous blogs of late so i figured at least a stub (for now) was in order. i'm quite the novice at new articles so forgive my naivte :) thanks for the clarification! Spongebobsqpants
im sorry that you feel our game is only "small", but if you got off your high horse you might realise that this game is actually a great way of passing the time... so i apologise for just trying to spread the fun i have had playing it with hundreds of other people... some people enjoy cricket and if you just opened your mind slightly you might see that there are many people who maybe want to learn a new sport or make new friends while playing a good and fun game of death cricket... i am highly displeased by the way you have conducted yourself in deleting our page and i am hoping for a reply to my comment a.s.a.p. thank you
look you cock. it has become a very well known game and there are leagues being created. i bet youre american arent you. you just like shitty baseball —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shinfield ( talk • contribs) 23:08, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
oh my god. you must be so sad and obbsessed with this damn website, that you actually delete all this stuff becuase of all this technical crap. you really musnt have a life. would it really hurt to let it stay on, or would you be spanked by the wikipedia people. ooooo scary
you dont have a life do you? i bet you spend your life on this website dont you? i thought so
look you deleted ours because it has no sources... i have found an article about CRICKET IN THE USA... what a loadof bollocks... that is even more obsquer than death cricket... that is played by only a handful of people and that too has never appeared in any 'major sports magazines'

Hi Friday.
Lets just cut straight to the point shall we?
Look i know i dont got any solid sources or info regarding my article. Thats because not anything has been put on the net etc. I dont know if i have anything that could even confirm the truth. You see the story has already been written. Its just that its not finished yet. But 18 chapters already exist. I just wanted to let you know that. BTW im not offended or anything that you deleted my article. Just to let you know.
Darkrosechild.
I've seen you referring to 12-year-olds and children in general as immature people many times, but I was surprised that you're against giving sysop tools even to 16-year-olds. That 12-year-olds and children should not be administrators is perhaps a "common" philosophy shared by many people, but the 16 years number seems absolutely high. In Brazil, 16-year-olds can vote. In the U.S., they can drive a car. (Strangely, they can't vote in the U.S. nor drive a car in Brazil.) May I ask what is the minimum age for someone to be an editor, an administrator, a bureaucrat, a steward, a Board member? To what positions may I, a 19-year-old, apply? Do you really not think you have an irrational bias against young people? A.Z. 15:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
I commend you for having the courage to speak your mind on this issue, Friday. It has almost become a taboo topic, which it shouldn't have. El_C 19:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
We don't and shouldn't have a census, but if I had to estimate, I'd say that at least 10-15% of the administrator corps is in the 12-17 y/o age range, and the vast majority of them are doing satisfactory, and in many cases outstanding jobs. Newyorkbrad 02:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Friday,
I'm the Marketing Manager for SpeedyPin.com Phone Cards. Apparently, somebody other than myself attempted to create a bio page for the company, which you deleted for copyright violations (noted in the Subject/Headline). No Problem! I want to create a bio page in a fashion that conforms to your neutrality guidelines.
I'm not sure how to go about specifying the reasons why SpeedyPin should be allowed to have a bio page on Wikipedia, so I wanted to do the right thing and ask first. Should I just create one and let editors be the judge, or do I need overwhelming permission to do so?
Thanks for any advice you can offer. I can provide specific reasons why SpeedyPin should have a bio page, but I will defer until I see your reply.
Thanks,
Eric
Friday, I will be sure to provide as many sources as possible, including articles written about the company from Kiplinger, the NY Post, the WSJ, and others. I appreciate your feedback!

I just don't understand. What is the issue with having images in articles? They're not "free"? Isn't that the purpose of fair-use images, so that they can be used freely? Those images have been there for years now, and how has Wikipedia been damaged because of it? How has it declined in any sort of fashion? What's wrong with A LITTLE visual representation in character articles that call for it? Six images. SIX. In an article that represents 18 important characters from a highly notable fiction series? The "not notable enough for articles so why do they need images" argument doesn't work, all those characters were notable enough at one time to have their own articles. I don't get it, I just don't. - The Norse 02:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Friday, thanks for explaining. If only we all did that. Anyway, thanks. •Jim62sch• 22:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

You get this slice of a Barnstar of Good Humor, as part of the group in the RD/M Daaaaaang thread. This is only a symbolic part of the barnstar, the rest of it lies with the other members. lucid 23:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC) |
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rhodell_logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 02:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. This made me think of you. A.Z. 17:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I hereby bestow upon you the Order of Death’s Head for your tireless deletion of content and censorship.
The true idea behind wikipedia is to bring to life an all encompassing knowledge base not unlike the fictional Hitchhikers Guild to the Galaxy, or rather, an unrealistic ideal one strives to accomplish for the sake of humanity.
You and you order of “gnomes” – you self-proclaimed gatekeepers, who are you to decide what belongs and what does not? By what right do you have to judge or police what others have created? What is the purpose of knowledge if not to inform? How can one be informed without all knowledge, regardless of how small? Wouldn’t your time be better served improving the factual correctness of existing articles then deleting new one??? So I ask you, who is the bigger Vandal, the one who vandalizes, or the one who destroys?
You have a user page! How does that work out? What makes you worthy of note? Or award? You yourself are in violation of your own code! You’re a hypocrite, a tyrant, “a deletionist” and fully deserving of this honor – The Order of Death’s Head.

Oh I know Windows is far from the ideal. The debate is about PC vs Mac, not Windows vs Mac OS X. "IBM-compatible" PCs also run linux, solaris, BeOS, OS/2 Warp, and any little scratch of code you want to write up and call an operating system. I don't know about the actual technical limitations, but the point of a mac is to buy hardware specially for a piece of software, namely OS X, since it refuses to run on anything but their overpriced hardware. It's not a case of "just working" as they claim; it's a case of "not working at all" except on specific, presumably cryptographically-signed hardware only available from a single vendor. So yeah, not sure where I was going with that but it's not a Windows vs OS X issue it's Open-system vs Closed-system.. equivalently PC vs Mac -- froth t 21:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Friday, per your willingness to stand the test of admin recall if a sufficient number of editors ask for it (see here [2] ) I officially add myself and open the discussion for your recall as an admin. Bstone 19:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Bstone, if you're serious about this, the place to start is WP:RFC#Request_comment_on_users. If the RFC shows significant consensus that I've been misusing the admin tools, I'll step down. Since I've put myself into the recall category, in the spirit of cooperation I'll waive the normal requirement for two certifiers. However I advise you to think it through before you dive in. RFC is not meant to be the first step; if you file one without first attempting to resolve the dispute by other means, you may find that it doesn't go the way you'd hoped. To anyone else who may notice this, in the interest of not stirring up needless drama, it's probably best to wait and see if this goes any further before worrying too much about it. Friday (talk) 20:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Friday, I believe you are unfit to be an admin as your interactions with me have clearly demonstrated your willingness to vandalize my user page [3], personally insult me on Leuko's user page User_talk:Leuko/Archive_7#Bstone, and post on my talk page once I have informed you that you were not welcome to as you had demonstrated a lack of civility [4]. I have noticed almost a dozen complaints about your lack of civility on your RfA page [5] and many of them stated that their support was contingent on your abilities to be more civil- something which I personally have experienced as not being the case. As such, I maintain that your current status as an administrator on this project is no longer possible. Bstone 23:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Friday is too blunt and comes off as rude. This isn't a trait that an admin should have, and isn't very helpful at all. An admin should be helpful.

To be honest, I viewed over his list of contributions. I also looked at his current list of discussions here. I don't think the accusations are justified or fair. Instead of making blame, why not link out to where/if he did wrong. Wikipedia keeps a full list of archives on EVERYTHING that happens, even deleted pages. IF you believe he did something wrong point out some links. I read this entire page (talk pages) and all I see is a LOT of people being assholes, and he was doing nothing but being nice throughout the whole page. Even when other people get rude he remains calm, and patient, and above all nice. I think that this is unnecesseary and you should show some proof beside's blind, rude allegations. businessman332211 14:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding this - the problem has come back since we are once again serving up header templates from user space. I know that Gursh (sp?) tried to fix it before, but was less than diligent in determining the appropriate code to replace Froth's. Now that Froth put his code back in, users are unknowingly adding sections to the article C. I'm really hesitant to try to edit anything near the headers, but it looks like we need to fall back to something from 20 October or so, and most definitely NOT serve up "production" code from user space. -- LarryMac | Talk 20:30, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I have been going through the "requests" page. Under the video game category for wikipedia article requests I ran across an interesting one called http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=GameBanshee&action=edit which is about "GameBanshee". I was going to do some research and create the article, but when I went to the edit page it mentioned it had been deleted, and I saw you were the one. Is it safe for me to recreate it, and what do I need to watch out for to prevent it from being deleted. Or is there a specific reason I should avoid creating this article (which was previously deleted). By the way you can leave the response here,it's added to my watch page until I get a response, so I will see it. businessman332211 03:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Friday, thanks for the support on the RfA. I think you'll find the curiously low number of supports is due to the fact i hang out in the wrong places. But that's fine by me as I'm not into the social side, more the building the encyclopedia side. A few, but thoughtful, supports based on my contributions is more meaningful to me than a sea of feel good votes from my buddies. Thanks again. David D. (Talk) 23:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Okay I will try not to do that. The past few days, Wikipedia gets stranger and stranger. A lot of things are strange. I don't know who it's just very strange you know strange. Everything is changing.-- Angel David 21:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
...for your participation, criticism, and support in my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final count of 90/1/1. I appreciate all of your kind words, criticism, and suggestions. I extend a special thanks to Acalamari for his nomination, and Dihydrogen Monoxide and Husond for their coaching and nominations. If you need help in any administrative matters, please contact me.
I am blunt, but I intend no rudness. I appreciate your efforts, but please remain on topic. I believe others have interpreted your comments as rude as well. Please take the advice you give to them, and apply them to yourself. I think this might help. Thanks for your contributions. 64.236.121.129 16:12, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
This is probably off topic for your original question, but it's not very meaningful to say "100% steel" as though this implies a specific ingredient list. Some steel is made with tungsten, but it's still called "steel". Friday (talk) 16:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

"The disruption is being done by the drama queens who get offended by Kmweber's opinions". Excuse me? Way-to-go for attacking all those that feel Kurt's behaviour is unnaceptable. It's one thing to argue your point that Kurt is not being disruptive; it's another thing entirely to label everyone who disagrees with you a 'drama queen'. Please refresh your memory with regards to WP:NPA, and avoid such sweeping remarks in the future. TheIslander 21:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
BTW as long as we're complaining at each other.. You've miscategorized my edits in an unhelpful way which I don't appreciate. I certainly do not label as "drama queen" anyone who disagrees with me. I was talking about people specifically getting all worked up and dramatic over a non-issue. One can easily disagree with me without being dramatic. Those are two different things. Do you really disagree that the people complaining about Kurt's participation in RFA are being overly dramatic? It seems pretty clear to me. Friday (talk) 22:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Friday, do you ever get the feeling that WP:AN/I is 24/7 high-speed dispute resolution? I do. It is very frustrating. Dispute resolution rarely needs to be done as quickly as things are done on WP:ANI, and not everyone has enough time to spend on WP:ANI.

Thank you. I was going to say, when I saw the note beside the article's second deletion, that the
News and Observer of
Raleigh, North Carolina ran it for many years and then dropped it. I have to read it online now. I was also going to say that I was careful to use only sources that Wikipedia would accept, and I included nothing in the article that wasn't in one of the sources.

Hello Friday, I'd like to ask your opinion on this issue I brought up to AN, I noticed your edits to Wikipedia:User page on the issue, and I'd really appreciate your thoughts, either on the thread itself, or feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you'd rather. Thanks so much, Ariel ♥ Gold 23:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip! I had not thought it would be controversial (given csd and meta:right to vanish). Is this part of a customary practice, or is it documented somewhere? -- TeaDrinker ( talk) 23:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
---|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes. Larry Pieniazek NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be.

I noticed you redirected this to Talk:Mazda 6. I was under the impression that redirects generally have their own talk pages.

Thank you for your participation in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate that landed on WP:100, but ultimately was deemed a successful declaration of consensus, and I am now an admin. I definitely paid close attention to everything that was said in the debate, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because of the holidays and all the off-wiki distractions. I'm working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school, carefully double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools, with my main goals being to help out with various backlogs. I sincerely doubt you'll see anything controversial coming from my new access level. :) I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are a few more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status. If you do ever have any concerns about my activities as an administrator, I encourage you to let me know. My door is always open. Have a good new year, -- El on ka 19:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I may have cited the wrong essay in my haste, but I stand by my general comments. "I feel that you screwed up now, therefore you must have screwed up in the past" is not a very productive message to be sending. If not a lack of good faith, it certainly is assuming something. As I just stated in the AN thread, a better message is "please follow this process in the future." The dispute was resolved. Continuing to pester another editor over an assumption that some other mystery mistakes were made is not very productive, imo. Reso lute 16:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Yup, I was not aware of the Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Angel David. However, looking through it, I do not think the editor is much of a problem. He seems more "civil, but naïve". I have only actually dealt with him at {{ Christianity}}, where he was not disruptive. Not only that, but after discussion on the talk page, Angel David ( talk · contribs) himself reverted to the default image from his preferred image. While he has a narrower viewpoint, this is not a reason to prevent him from editing. By the way, I didn't realize the editor was a child. I don't know if there is a policy about restricting child editors. I do know that it has been debated before; especially at RfA. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast ( talk) 16:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

hi! just wondering what the criteria were for deletion of this new article. i saw mention of the term in numerous blogs of late so i figured at least a stub (for now) was in order. i'm quite the novice at new articles so forgive my naivte :) thanks for the clarification! Spongebobsqpants
im sorry that you feel our game is only "small", but if you got off your high horse you might realise that this game is actually a great way of passing the time... so i apologise for just trying to spread the fun i have had playing it with hundreds of other people... some people enjoy cricket and if you just opened your mind slightly you might see that there are many people who maybe want to learn a new sport or make new friends while playing a good and fun game of death cricket... i am highly displeased by the way you have conducted yourself in deleting our page and i am hoping for a reply to my comment a.s.a.p. thank you
look you cock. it has become a very well known game and there are leagues being created. i bet youre american arent you. you just like shitty baseball —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shinfield ( talk • contribs) 23:08, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
oh my god. you must be so sad and obbsessed with this damn website, that you actually delete all this stuff becuase of all this technical crap. you really musnt have a life. would it really hurt to let it stay on, or would you be spanked by the wikipedia people. ooooo scary
you dont have a life do you? i bet you spend your life on this website dont you? i thought so
look you deleted ours because it has no sources... i have found an article about CRICKET IN THE USA... what a loadof bollocks... that is even more obsquer than death cricket... that is played by only a handful of people and that too has never appeared in any 'major sports magazines'

Hi Friday.
Lets just cut straight to the point shall we?
Look i know i dont got any solid sources or info regarding my article. Thats because not anything has been put on the net etc. I dont know if i have anything that could even confirm the truth. You see the story has already been written. Its just that its not finished yet. But 18 chapters already exist. I just wanted to let you know that. BTW im not offended or anything that you deleted my article. Just to let you know.
Darkrosechild.
I've seen you referring to 12-year-olds and children in general as immature people many times, but I was surprised that you're against giving sysop tools even to 16-year-olds. That 12-year-olds and children should not be administrators is perhaps a "common" philosophy shared by many people, but the 16 years number seems absolutely high. In Brazil, 16-year-olds can vote. In the U.S., they can drive a car. (Strangely, they can't vote in the U.S. nor drive a car in Brazil.) May I ask what is the minimum age for someone to be an editor, an administrator, a bureaucrat, a steward, a Board member? To what positions may I, a 19-year-old, apply? Do you really not think you have an irrational bias against young people? A.Z. 15:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
I commend you for having the courage to speak your mind on this issue, Friday. It has almost become a taboo topic, which it shouldn't have. El_C 19:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
We don't and shouldn't have a census, but if I had to estimate, I'd say that at least 10-15% of the administrator corps is in the 12-17 y/o age range, and the vast majority of them are doing satisfactory, and in many cases outstanding jobs. Newyorkbrad 02:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Friday,
I'm the Marketing Manager for SpeedyPin.com Phone Cards. Apparently, somebody other than myself attempted to create a bio page for the company, which you deleted for copyright violations (noted in the Subject/Headline). No Problem! I want to create a bio page in a fashion that conforms to your neutrality guidelines.
I'm not sure how to go about specifying the reasons why SpeedyPin should be allowed to have a bio page on Wikipedia, so I wanted to do the right thing and ask first. Should I just create one and let editors be the judge, or do I need overwhelming permission to do so?
Thanks for any advice you can offer. I can provide specific reasons why SpeedyPin should have a bio page, but I will defer until I see your reply.
Thanks,
Eric
Friday, I will be sure to provide as many sources as possible, including articles written about the company from Kiplinger, the NY Post, the WSJ, and others. I appreciate your feedback!

I just don't understand. What is the issue with having images in articles? They're not "free"? Isn't that the purpose of fair-use images, so that they can be used freely? Those images have been there for years now, and how has Wikipedia been damaged because of it? How has it declined in any sort of fashion? What's wrong with A LITTLE visual representation in character articles that call for it? Six images. SIX. In an article that represents 18 important characters from a highly notable fiction series? The "not notable enough for articles so why do they need images" argument doesn't work, all those characters were notable enough at one time to have their own articles. I don't get it, I just don't. - The Norse 02:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rhodell_logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 02:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I hereby bestow upon you the Order of Death’s Head for your tireless deletion of content and censorship.
The true idea behind wikipedia is to bring to life an all encompassing knowledge base not unlike the fictional Hitchhikers Guild to the Galaxy, or rather, an unrealistic ideal one strives to accomplish for the sake of humanity.
You and you order of “gnomes” – you self-proclaimed gatekeepers, who are you to decide what belongs and what does not? By what right do you have to judge or police what others have created? What is the purpose of knowledge if not to inform? How can one be informed without all knowledge, regardless of how small? Wouldn’t your time be better served improving the factual correctness of existing articles then deleting new one??? So I ask you, who is the bigger Vandal, the one who vandalizes, or the one who destroys?
You have a user page! How does that work out? What makes you worthy of note? Or award? You yourself are in violation of your own code! You’re a hypocrite, a tyrant, “a deletionist” and fully deserving of this honor – The Order of Death’s Head.

"IBM-compatible" PCs also run linux, solaris, BeOS, OS/2 Warp, and any little scratch of code you want to write up and call an operating system. I don't know about the actual technical limitations, but the point of a mac is to buy hardware specially for a piece of software, namely OS X, since it refuses to run on anything but their overpriced hardware. It's not a case of "just working" as they claim; it's a case of "not working at all" except on specific, presumably cryptographically-signed hardware only available from a single vendor. So yeah, not sure where I was going with that but it's not a Windows vs OS X issue it's Open-system vs Closed-system.. equivalently PC vs Mac -- froth t 21:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Friday, while I am tempted to issue you a warning for vandalizing my user page I will hold off until you can explain to me why you edited it without my permission or approval. Please respond as conveniently as you can. Bstone 19:02, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I have continually been begging Leuko to stick to the issues and interact in a civil manner. However, he continues to act in a uncivil and bully-like manner. At least one other user is complaining about Leuko on an unrelated article. Hopefully you can try to influence Leuko in maintaining a civil discourse. Thank you. Bstone 20:51, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, it was a good try, but it looks like he's more interested in trolling than in any sort of productive discussion.

Not to make you out to be a complete dink but what is a garbage band. Vacuity has their albums in major retail outlets like hmv and is distributed by maple music. They aren't just some kids in a garage. I'm sorry the band hasn't sold 10 million copies but they do have an impact on the local music scene. So please don't be a complete asshole and fix your err. Or at least tell me what you think a garbage band is so I can apologize...
Thanks.
Dear Friday, I have noticed you have blocked me a few days ago. I learned a lot from my past mistakes. You have opened my eyes and see what horrible mess I have created.

I will try never to attack anyone anymore.-- Angel David ( talk · contribs) 01:09, 12 October, 2007 (User Talker Contributor)

Friday, per your willingness to stand the test of admin recall if a sufficient number of editors ask for it (see here [2] ) I officially add myself and open the discussion for your recall as an admin. Bstone 19:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Bstone, if you're serious about this, the place to start is WP:RFC#Request_comment_on_users. If the RFC shows significant consensus that I've been misusing the admin tools, I'll step down. Since I've put myself into the recall category, in the spirit of cooperation I'll waive the normal requirement for two certifiers. However I advise you to think it through before you dive in. RFC is not meant to be the first step; if you file one without first attempting to resolve the dispute by other means, you may find that it doesn't go the way you'd hoped. To anyone else who may notice this, in the interest of not stirring up needless drama, it's probably best to wait and see if this goes any further before worrying too much about it. Friday (talk) 20:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Friday, I believe you are unfit to be an admin as your interactions with me have clearly demonstrated your willingness to vandalize my user page [3], personally insult me on Leuko's user page User_talk:Leuko/Archive_7#Bstone, and post on my talk page once I have informed you that you were not welcome to as you had demonstrated a lack of civility [4]. I have noticed almost a dozen complaints about your lack of civility on your RfA page [5] and many of them stated that their support was contingent on your abilities to be more civil- something which I personally have experienced as not being the case. As such, I maintain that your current status as an administrator on this project is no longer possible. Bstone 23:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Friday is too blunt and comes off as rude. This isn't a trait that an admin should have, and isn't very helpful at all. An admin should be helpful. His comments on the reference desk aren't very helpful at all, they appear to mock the question asker. 64.236.121.129 —Preceding comment was added at 16:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the complaints. I'm not pleased with the way Friday treats new users or users in general. Name calling is unacceptable. Malamockq 00:31, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
To be honest, I viewed over his list of contributions. I also looked at his current list of discussions here. I don't think the accusations are justified or fair. Instead of making blame, why not link out to where/if he did wrong. Wikipedia keeps a full list of archives on EVERYTHING that happens, even deleted pages. IF you believe he did something wrong point out some links. I read this entire page (talk pages) and all I see is a LOT of people being assholes, and he was doing nothing but being nice throughout the whole page. Even when other people get rude he remains calm, and patient, and above all nice. I think that this is unnecesseary and you should show some proof beside's blind, rude allegations. businessman332211 14:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding this - the problem has come back since we are once again serving up header templates from user space. I know that Gursh (sp?) tried to fix it before, but was less than diligent in determining the appropriate code to replace Froth's. Now that Froth put his code back in, users are unknowingly adding sections to the article C. I'm really hesitant to try to edit anything near the headers, but it looks like we need to fall back to something from 20 October or so, and most definitely NOT serve up "production" code from user space. -- LarryMac | Talk 20:30, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I have been going through the "requests" page. Under the video game category for wikipedia article requests I ran across an interesting one called http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=GameBanshee&action=edit which is about "GameBanshee". I was going to do some research and create the article, but when I went to the edit page it mentioned it had been deleted, and I saw you were the one. Is it safe for me to recreate it, and what do I need to watch out for to prevent it from being deleted. Or is there a specific reason I should avoid creating this article (which was previously deleted). By the way you can leave the response here,it's added to my watch page until I get a response, so I will see it. businessman332211 03:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Friday, thanks for the support on the RfA. I think you'll find the curiously low number of supports is due to the fact i hang out in the wrong places. But that's fine by me as I'm not into the social side, more the building the encyclopedia side. A few, but thoughtful, supports based on my contributions is more meaningful to me than a sea of feel good votes from my buddies. Thanks again. David D. (Talk) 23:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

"The disruption is being done by the drama queens who get offended by Kmweber's opinions". Excuse me? Way-to-go for attacking all those that feel Kurt's behaviour is unnaceptable.

BTW as long as we're complaining at each other.. You've miscategorized my edits in an unhelpful way which I don't appreciate. I certainly do not label as "drama queen" anyone who disagrees with me. I was talking about people specifically getting all worked up and dramatic over a non-issue. One can easily disagree with me without being dramatic. Those are two different things. Do you really disagree that the people complaining about Kurt's participation in RFA are being overly dramatic? It seems pretty clear to me. Friday (talk) 22:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
---|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes. Larry Pieniazek NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be. If you did not list yourself, you may want to review the change records to determine who added you, and ask them why they added you. |

Thank you for your participation in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate that landed on WP:100, but ultimately was deemed a successful declaration of consensus, and I am now an admin. I definitely paid close attention to everything that was said in the debate, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because of the holidays and all the off-wiki distractions. I'm working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school, carefully double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools, with my main goals being to help out with various backlogs. I sincerely doubt you'll see anything controversial coming from my new access level. :) I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are a few more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status. If you do ever have any concerns about my activities as an administrator, I encourage you to let me know. My door is always open. Have a good new year, -- El on ka 19:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I may have cited the wrong essay in my haste, but I stand by my general comments. "I feel that you screwed up now, therefore you must have screwed up in the past" is not a very productive message to be sending. If not a lack of good faith, it certainly is assuming something. As I just stated in the AN thread, a better message is "please follow this process in the future." The dispute was resolved. Continuing to pester another editor over an assumption that some other mystery mistakes were made is not very productive, imo. Reso lute 16:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Something I have to learn also. Keep up the good. Regards, M-ercury at 02:58, January 9, 2008
There is a user conduct RFC on V-Dash ( talk · contribs) that was opened by Jéské Couriano ( talk · contribs). Just thought I'd inform you since you have participated in some discussion on V-Dash's talk page. -- Nn123645 ( talk) 04:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
It's pretty obvious that there's disagreement over TTN's trimming of material, right? Do you see people both agreeing and disagreeing with it on the talk page? You'd do better to engage in actual discussion of the issue instead of just leaving warning templates which threaten a block. Friday (talk) 17:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
The block threats arn't about "triming of material", they have been removing entire articles without any warning! Doktor Wilhelm 18:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, shouldn't the link to the AFD debate be kept on the talk page? Thanks -- Jkp212 ( talk) 21:15, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Yup, trying. :) -- El on ka 20:30, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Friday, as I have kindly asked you many times before, please do not involve yourself in discussions on my talk page. I am asking you this kindly and voluntarily. It is clear that we do not agree on almost anything and there is a significant personal difference between us. Thank you for respecting this. Bstone ( talk) 19:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I know this [my] comment may be irrelevant now, but can I ask what a token oppose is? Any comments regarding how I can improve are always appreciated. Best, Rudget . 22:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
If you want to me to improve, someone should had approved my request for vandal proof. Then my edits would be better-- Angel David ( talk) 15:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Yup, I was not aware of the Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Angel David. However, looking through it, I do not think the editor is much of a problem. He seems more "civil, but naïve". I have only actually dealt with him at {{ Christianity}}, where he was not disruptive. Not only that, but after discussion on the talk page, Angel David ( talk · contribs) himself reverted to the default image from his preferred image. While he has a narrower viewpoint, this is not a reason to prevent him from editing. By the way, I didn't realize the editor was a child. I don't know if there is a policy about restricting child editors. I do know that it has been debated before; especially at RfA. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast ( talk) 16:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
So I'll be alright if my editing of articles is kept at a minumum?-- Angel David ( talk) 22:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
