Heyo, Steve Caruso here. There is a Request for assistance by user HeirToPendragon ( talk) on the article Firebender due to an ongoing dispute with an anonymous IP who is consistently reverting some of his edits. Would you be willing to take his case? If you will, please leave a note and sign under his entry on WP:AMARQ. If not give me a ping on my talk page so I can continue searching for a willing Advocate. Thanks! אמר Steve Caruso ( desk/ poll) 17:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I found a screenshot of my proof in question and posted it on the talk page. Would that count as a source? Should I reference it on the article? H2P 20:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on
my RfA, which passed with a final tally of

my talk page. Misza 13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing! NOTE: This message has been encrypted with the sophisticated

Greetings! I noticed that, in April, you welcomed User:VivianDarkbloom to Wikipedia. I thought you might either be able to assist with an issue with said user that's ongoing or—at least point me in the right direction for assistance.
Diane Kunz was prodded, deprodded, and then nominated for deletion ( AfD page). Vivian has repeatedly taken it upon (him-/)herself to, well, hijack the AfD process. Consensus of opinions of editors is unanimously, but for Vivian, in favor of deletion, yet Vivian will close the article as a keep.
Vivian's concern is that the article put up for AfD had been "vandalized" and was missing key data. I reviewed it, and the two issues missing were that Kunz had published four books (three of which were universty press publications) and was repeatedly denied tenure at Yale and one other university.
The second time she improperly closed the discussion, I reopened it by applying the nowiki tag to her comments, preserving exactly what she had written. She made no effort to discuss this on the AfD page; instead, she applied the test3 template to my talk page. (Another editor since moved her discussion rationale) Basically, I don't feel like she's making any effort to discuss the issue, but is just trying to force it by abuse of the process.
If she really feels that the article was unfairly considered for AfD because of the missing information, I would be willing to compromise and have it re-listed to have fuller consideration of it in its expanded form.
Anyway, sorry if this is out of your field, but if there's anything you can do to assist or bring in somebody who specializes in these sort of issues, I would appreciate it. Regards, — C.Fred ( talk) 02:20, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello Journalist, You seem to be the only one on here with common sense. Can you tell me how to upload music files so i can post them on TIreh's page. I'm tired of childdish people posting in-correct talk responses and everythign else .. is there a way i can send them to you?
Thank you , this is all too confusing i uploaded the picture onto wikipedia.. for some reason i cant get it onto the page. here is the link

Hi, I am reaching out to you with an odd situation even for Wikipedia. I attempted to edit the article on John Littlechild who led the first Special Irish Branch for the UK police and who also investigated the Jack the Ripper and Oscar Wilde cases. I saw that the article only touched on the career points of the subject. I noted that the formation of the Special Branch was opressive to the Irish and that Littlechild has a homophobe for his prosecution of Wilde.
These edits were promptly removed several times by editor Ben W. Bell 2 - a pro British Irish Protestant. The editor Necrothesp -- who authored the article -- also removed various entries. I even reduced the entry to say that the formation of the Special Branch was oppressive to the Irish and nothing more. This too was removed under the excuse that I was offering a POV and not a neutral objective fact.
I was going to get administrators to act as third parties but became intimidated by one simple fact -- on Necrothesp's user page its states that he is a British cop and a member of the U.K. Territorial army. I could go on forever talking about why the British police should not be allowed to edit articles on Northern Ireland but that would be useless. I travel in the UK a great deal and the police have special powers to trace users of any BBS system.
Necrothesp and Ben W. Bell also kept posting on my talk page after I said I felt intimidated. I asked them nicely to leave unitl after the editing conflict wass resolved but they still kept posting. I feel very intimidated. I would like to revise the article with more solid sources but fear being ganged up on again by Necorthesp the cop and his friend Ben W. Bell. In the last entry he made on my talk page Necorthest suggested I leave Wikipedia altogether which is very intimidating coming from someone who is a policeman.
I would still like to edit the article but would like you or some other advocate to watch what is being said and done. Please help!
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi. I'm perfectly calm, trust me. But I do think I have a right to refute what blatant falsehoods and insults wherever they are posted. As to "don't bite the newcomer", normally I would agree with you, but not after the stuff that has been issuing from this editor's "mouth". These are not understandable mistakes. These are personal attacks and threats, and we have a policy against those. --

I am trying to end the matter so please don't contact me anymore. I don't want your opinion and think you are a poor moderator. Just stay away from my page and let's let the matter drop. I just want you and the cop and the other guy to leave me alone. 617USA 21:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I spent my 19th birthday in Ocho Rios. I really wish I could have stayed longer. I can't wait to go back sometime. There was such a nice vibe there, and I'm guessing the rest of Jamaica is pretty interesting. I saw Life and Debt a few months ago and it only made me appreciate Jamaica more. I think the most interesting part of Jamaica was the juxtaposition of poverty and luxury. The greatest example was seeing a huge resort (I think it was a "Sandles") and literally a few seconds down the road were run-down shacks. It was depressing and beautiful at the same time. The people were really great though. Anyway, I want to go there sometime after college to see what's beyond the surface. Maybe spend a few months travelling around the country. I really want to go to some of the coffee farms in the Blue Mountains to see what the labor conditions are like. The coffee is really great, but I feel guilty because I'm sure a lot of the workers are treated like dirt (then again, what workers aren't?).

Hi Orane, thank you for honorary award. I must admit I don't know all Wikipedia rules yet and didn't know anything about awards but it's always nice to get one :)
I fell in love with Celine's "Falling Into You" album too - it was my first album. Now, after 10 years I still love her. During that I gathered most of her albums and some singles. I created two Celine's websites. First one doesn't exist anymore. Second one called Celine Dion Chart History was created in 2002. Right now I'm doing some changes so it will be online back in October this year. I have also spent a lot of time this year to find all detailed Celine's chart facts from many countries. I have posted them on some forums, for example here - my nick name there is jeangrey.
I know many facts about Celine and I will help creating her pages with pleasure. I see you did a really good job with her site and now you try to keep it together (because everybody wants to change things their way). Many thanks for that. I'm glad Celine has fans like you! I didn't have the time to see your other sites but I will try to make it up.
I can have two problems:
1) I don't know all Wikipedia rules so I can make some mistakes (hope it won't happen too often),
2) I can make mistakes with my English, so if there are any in my articles feel free to correct them.

I do not know where to add this, it would not work via mediation and there is nothing else of the sort really however you are a admin on the mediation commitee and all. Sorry if this isn't your area but could you point me in the direction of someone to see if not. The article uncyclopedia is a problem. It is not complete and definatly not npov and in accordance with this I added a preliminary criticism section fully intending for more substance to be added later but...it was reverted. So I tried again toning down what I'd said to something totally acceptable but not complete...And it was flatly reverted twice. So in accordance with the 3 reverts rule I took it to discussion and added a npov tag on the main page- however the denizens of that article even revert the npov tag!-- Josquius 17:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at my talkback history, Blacklist has been harrasing me for months over something I'm long done with, leaving threats and calling me a "troll" before altering his posts as a way of rephrasing his continued abuse towards me. He took something I said to him in the John Cena talkback too seriously and is constantly abusing me for it. I have not made a move on his talkback in respect of his own buisness, kindly warn him to stay out of mine, and for leaving those comments. Dr. R.K.Z
As a current mediator who has also been active in the last few days, can I point you to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive248#Requests for mediation has ground to a halt, where concerns have been registered as to the current seemingly static state of the committee.

Quick question regarding the Ohio Wesleyan University. You left a very helpful comment regarding the page candidacy back in July. Since then, a lot of the issues that you mentioned have been improved on. Could you take a look and tell me what are some of the major areas that still need work and what work exactly?
