(<--) I think I reverted some vandalism while using Huggle earlier, but I also saw constructive IP vandalism. This is, in my opinion, sort of like the TFA protection policy, which is that we don't protect the main page article while it's featured, because it sort of defeats the whole anyone can edit thing. A lot of people are going to be visiting the WAD article today, so it's probably best not to protect as long as the vandalism is getting reverted quickly. لenna vecia 21:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi!

Hiya, I've been keeping an eye on User:Thegreatestmoever for a few days now, they seem to do some decent edits but mixed in with a load of vandalism. I've already given them a level 1 warning, as has another person, which they blanked (and I briefly restored, because I was under the mistaken impression that users weren't allowed to blank their warnings), and then as you probably saw gave them a level 3 warning today for further vandalism, as the second user to give a level 1 stated that they'd likely have used a level 2 if my warning hadn't been blanked before they came along. You've now added to this with a level 4 warning, and as you're an administrator I'm just wondering - do I still need to report this user to WP:AIV if they continue their vandalism, or are you now keeping an eye on them, ready to block? That, and thanks for the help! :) Xmoogle ( talk) 15:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

:John Solomon of Your Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad has this to say about Sluggy Sluggy Freelance as "Sluggy Freelance is and always will be a bad webcomic. It has bad art, bad writing (despite a few good jokes and a few more good jokes that were turned into terrible jokes by overplaying them) and almost three hundred thousand words of backstory for you to enjoy before you even come close to understanding what the fuck is happening. That's pretty much the hallmark of a bad webcomic."

Hi JV. I came across this when an admin was explaining why images used on the Muhammad article are used. The explanation is succinct, and sheds light on the censorship policy. It goes on to list other images that may be offensive. I find this a problem.
I want to stress that this is still the talk page of Muhammad, and although the explanation of using his image seems quite in line with policy, I just don't see why 'what else might be inflammatory' belongs on the talk page of the article. In fact technically, I think talk pages are just supposed to be about article content, and I see this as not qualifying and in bad taste. I just think the links to image links should be gone. I don't really know the forum for this, so here you go. Sorry to pass off my mess, so to speak, but I could use some direction. Law shoot! 03:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello Jennavecia, my name is Ehsan, and I work at Les' Copaque Production. An associate of mine, Ida Rahayu was the one who posted the post about our company. Now I would like to assure you that we did not intend the post to be an advertisement of any sort, but since 2 products from our company, Upin & Ipin and Geng The Adventure Begins are already posted, not to mention a post about our company on the Malay Language version of wikipedia, we thought it would be fine for us to have our biodata on Wikipedia too. If it is not too troublesome for you, can you tell me why was the post is thought of as blatant advertising? We are trying to change the post to not be such, but since this is our first time posting something on wiki, I feel we do need some help with it. Thank you.
Also, I apologise if this is not a place to ask for such things. This is my first post on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ehsanazhar ( talk • contribs)

Hi, Jennavecia; I'm not sure why there are still issues at Brenda Song. I had hoped that by mostly ignoring some of the earlier well poisoning and incorrect statements that were being thrown about on GA pages (there and at some other GA pages as well) it would have died down by now so that Gimmetrow could peacefully get back to the sigificant amount of productive work that he does. It's not pleasant for anyone to get poked over and over in an episode that seems neverending. I hope we can all work towards reducing the tension that has accumulated there. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 06:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm off to bed as well, but here is the timeline as I've gathered so far. I'm still missing discussion, I need to get the GAR info in there. If there's anything missing, feel free to add it. لenna vecia 07:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
I must say, this is a disturbing situation. I got busy with an event I waited ten years for, and to come over at the end of that and find this is a real downer. I originally stopped by to inquire over a six-week-old situation between two good editors that was still escalating and to see if we could do anything to deescalate it, perhaps by encouraging distance. Obviously my query hasn't helped (a day later, there's a page full of diffs on each party, looking like this tiff isn't headed towards deescalation), so I'll be bowing out and hoping some sense of proportion is restored and that this blows over. I don't know what half-truths Malleus is referring to; perhaps he genuinely didn't see the well poisoning and personal attacks on me across many GA and talk pages or perhaps there are more pieces I'm not aware of. The entire situation seems particularly disporportional when I compare anything said by Gimme or Malleus to the blatant untruths and personal attacks from other parties against me that went unaddressed during all of this, and which I intentionally avoided, hoping all of this would just blow over. In relation to the trash talk that I let slide, I don't understand the reactions that I'm reading here. Malleus asking about an "excutioner's axe" and "punishment", and removal from admin corp being mentioned ?? Executioner's axe for what? Is there dirt I haven't seen on other pages? And removal from admin corp for what? Where is the abuse of admin tools? Lara, you asked if there were gaps in your notebook: I don't pretend to have followed it all. Once I saw everyone involved was overlooking blatant personal attacks, while being so offended over far lesser posts, I tuned out. I did notice, though, that your notebook says: "Gimmetrow threatens to block the users he is in conflict with", when I don't see any such statement in the diff you gave, so it might be helpful to rephrase that to reflect what he actually said (and in fact, what did happen, Gimme ended up blocked). If anyone at GA had raised an eyebrow about the very real personal attacks that were leveled at other parties throughout all of this, I might consider taking all of this more seriously. Absent that, I see a rather childish tempest in a teapot, and I'm very sorry that my concern was unhelpful and appears to have caused even further escalation. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 05:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi I have recently noticed an account being created for vandalism purposes. Could you alert other Admins so the account is blocked. I suspect they will also try to make another one after the block.

When's my trial due to begin? [6]. I only ask because I'll need to buy a new suit, so a little bit of warning would be good. -- Malleus Fatuorum 20:52, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
(<--) Hmm, yes, I just read over that discussion. I had not previously seen it. Mattisse, kindly high-tail it off my talk page unless you've got diffs to back up whatever claims you feel so inclined to make. And, just to state for the record, the article should have gone straight to GAR when there was a disagreement on the outcome. The eventual listing on GAN should have been for the day the GAR closed, which should have been weeks before it actually was, not backdated to the GAR which, from what I've seen, Gimme did request and should have started himself. لenna vecia 00:00, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Allright, after a wasted 24 hours, I'm unwatching the whole bunch. I haven't read FAC all day, and I've seen this happen before with the same editor, who makes the imbroglio so large, and across so many pages, and creates so much drama that all productive work ceases, and those who love drama are thrilled with the result. If you want to take it on, it will take months. I honestly cannot do my "job" on Wiki and also deal with every bit of misinformation that is posted about me or GANs, FACs, FARs et al across multiple pages, so I'd prefer to just not see it. Most people know the truth anyway. Unwatching now, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 02:12, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I've never been happy with these "please don't go" topics, and even less so when they appear on my own talk page. Can it be protected? I realise that'll mean I can't edit it either, but I'd rather that than see more pointless discussion about a fait accompli which will likely leave nobody smelling of roses. -- Malleus Fatuorum 22:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I do not repond positively to threats on my talk page from ST47 or anyone else. Why should I? I was told by an admin that I could place my votes on the ballot, understanding they will not be counted. There was discussion and agreement about this on the Elections talk page before it was done. You can check. NOBODY told me to mark them in any particular manner, so I copied what I found in the ballot.
According to ST47, it appears almost anybody but me can say almost anything they choose, no matter how offensive, on the ballot. I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia and to the Elections talk page. You can check. So far I have found mostly hostility and incivility here, despite my considerable efforts. The only exceptions are a Barn Star, three editors and two admins since I started here in late September. Is this how civility is encouraged in Wikipedia? Surely there must be some standard of reasonableness here? Mervyn Emrys ( talk) 20:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Malleus asking about an "excutioner's axe" and "punishment", and removal from admin corp being mentioned ?? Executioner's axe for what? Is there dirt I haven't seen on other pages? And removal from admin corp for what? Where is the abuse of admin tools? Lara, you asked if there were gaps in your notebook: I don't pretend to have followed it all. Once I saw everyone involved was overlooking blatant personal attacks, while being so offended over far lesser posts, I tuned out. I did notice, though, that your notebook says: "Gimmetrow threatens to block the users he is in conflict with", when I don't see any such statement in the diff you gave, so it might be helpful to rephrase that to reflect what he actually said (and in fact, what did happen, Gimme ended up blocked). If anyone at GA had raised an eyebrow about the very real personal attacks that were leveled at other parties throughout all of this, I might consider taking all of this more seriously. Absent that, I see a rather childish tempest in a teapot, and I'm very sorry that my concern was unhelpful and appears to have caused even further escalation.

::Kindly fix the damage on the talk page. If I interact with either Million or Peanut right now, there is a fair chance a few people will get blocked. You could, for instance, set up a GAR. Gimmetrow 21:26, 21 October 2008

Hi I have recently noticed an account being created for vandalism purposes. Could you alert other Admins so the account is blocked. I suspect they will also try to make another one after the block. It is called Thegreatestmoever3. Could you assist me in blocking this account as I also understand you have has disputes with Thegreatestmoever before. Thank you Reallikeunreal ( talk) 12:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
When's my trial due to begin? [6]. I only ask because I'll need to buy a new suit, so a little bit of warning would be good. -- Malleus Fatuorum 20:52, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
(<--) Hmm, yes, I just read over that discussion. I had not previously seen it. Mattisse, kindly high-tail it off my talk page unless you've got diffs to back up whatever claims you feel so inclined to make. And, just to state for the record, the article should have gone straight to GAR when there was a disagreement on the outcome. The eventual listing on GAN should have been for the day the GAR closed, which should have been weeks before it actually was, not backdated to the GAR which, from what I've seen, Gimme did request and should have started himself. لenna vecia 00:00, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Allright, after a wasted 24 hours, I'm unwatching the whole bunch. I haven't read FAC all day, and I've seen this happen before with the same editor, who makes the imbroglio so large, and across so many pages, and creates so much drama that all productive work ceases, and those who love drama are thrilled with the result. If you want to take it on, it will take months. I honestly cannot do my "job" on Wiki and also deal with every bit of misinformation that is posted about me or GANs, FACs, FARs et al across multiple pages, so I'd prefer to just not see it. Most people know the truth anyway. Unwatching now, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 02:12, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I've never been happy with these "please don't go" topics, and even less so when they appear on my own talk page. Can it be protected? I realise that'll mean I can't edit it either, but I'd rather that than see more pointless discussion about a fait accompli which will likely leave nobody smelling of roses. -- Malleus Fatuorum 22:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I do not repond positively to threats on my talk page from ST47 or anyone else. Why should I? I was told by an admin that I could place my votes on the ballot, understanding they will not be counted. There was discussion and agreement about this on the Elections talk page before it was done. You can check. NOBODY told me to mark them in any particular manner, so I copied what I found in the ballot.
According to ST47, it appears almost anybody but me can say almost anything they choose, no matter how offensive, on the ballot. I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia and to the Elections talk page. You can check. So far I have found mostly hostility and incivility here, despite my considerable efforts. The only exceptions are a Barn Star, three editors and two admins since I started here in late September. Is this how civility is encouraged in Wikipedia? Surely there must be some standard of reasonableness here? Mervyn Emrys ( talk) 20:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
