Care to explain why my userspace is suddenly protected against myself being able to edit it? A tongue-in-cheek comment is hardly "high-risk, requiring immediate page protection", and I'm not sure it's even possible to "edit war" over your own userpage. I've compromised on the complaints, but it makes no sense to protect the page, and I was curious what the process for instigating it had been.

This is a huge mistake to block Ramdrake for one month! How can that be? One month for a 3rr infraction! I've seen others who've egregiously ignored policy get a slap on the hand. This is absolutely ludicrous. How do I contest this excessively harsh punishment? Where do you get your orders from that this is fair and just? Seriously, I'd like to know. I'm not trying to be combative, I just don't understand the harsh punishment one bit! Do you know you are losing a PhD and a good editor? My gosh. I don't understand this place at all! I must be stupid then. If there are others, who are in HIGH SCHOOL, edit articles, evade blocks, and create an atmosphere of disruption continue to play homework assignments by editing Wikipedia. That's all Wikipedia will have left! In case you may not know, younger people take this much better and will come back than older people would? Do you really understand those consequences? By blocking a person with actual credentials and life experience is the worse thing that Wikipedia needs! Now will I be blocked by expressing my disgust of this type of punishment?

To the 1,337 users that woke out to discover the Orange Bar of Doom:
A very friendly user by the name of TomasBat decided to leave a lot of people, over a very long period of time, a very large welcome message chock-full of useful tidbits and goodies and information.
He also did what they called "translcusion" (see Subst for more information on this) that is, every time his welcome page would change, every single copy of the template had to be changed by the software as well.
Obviously, this is a Very Bad Thing, because instead of the very expensive computers Wikimedia Foundation has being used to serve informative Wikipedia articles to the masses, it has to go through and re-render his welcome page. Currently, another administrator by the name of Ryulong has it set for the "standard" welcome page, which is what I'm substituting onto your pages. If you'd like the original version of it, it can be found at the old version of that page. Cute welcome graphics and all.
Ryulong's gone ahead and left TomasBat a handy message about why it's important to subst his welcome templates, from what I understand. Please feel free to say that TomasBat welcomed you, as he certainly did notice you editing and take the time to provide you with all that information.
If I suddenly stop working on this, it's probably because either:

Good morning: I thought I would put the following comments here because, though they arose on the Baby 81 discussion page, they are not related to the on-going argument about the use of the child's name. First, not all of us type equally well, and not all of us see equally well. Sometimes, late at night, on my lap-top screen, the black text is not very distnguishable from the blue, and thus, even after several Previews, a typing mistake can remain. Please feel free, if such a typo happens in something I have done, to repair it when you notice it. If nothing else, it would be faster for you than to write out an explanation, only to strike it out almost immediately.
Second, about your signature: I was certainly not mocking either it or you. In mark-up, it is a difficult one to read, with all the brackets and letters that are not usual combinations in English. As I said, I am not much of a typist. Maybe I should also state the obvious that I am not much of a programmer either. I tried copying the signature and was successful in the my first attempt, I thought, but kept losing bits when I repeated the effort in the following comments. I then even tried to get it down to the bare blue, but, oddly enough, thought you might be more upset by that than an honest effort to get your chosen name form right. (It would have been correct, I think now, in the morning, when I can see, if I had not tried to leave out the two letters that follow the name. That's where I kept going astray. In one Preview, the whole of the message following your signature came out hot pink.) There is enough contention on Baby 81's page without simple mistakes being taken for things much more sinister. I will try to do better in future and would be grateful for the extension of WP:AGF for first offenses at least. Bielle 15:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC) reply
There is an ongoing discussion about the article you protected, Negroid. I request your input. Muntuwandi 04:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC) reply
As far as I can see there seems to be a consensus of four editors. In any case a consensus should not be necessary when something is used with to disparage the subjects. I don't believe the prolonged protection of the article will help resolve disputes rather it will just raise temperatures because it gives the impression that the racists have won.

There are major problems with the Negroid article in the version you preserved it in. It needs immediately tagged with factual accuracy, disputed, verify source, and original research tag, as none of the four sources I checked say anything that is claimed in the article.

Hi,
You protected this article recently. Can you please take a look at this section. Here I have argued that Sana al-Sayegh should not be listed as "Forced conversion", esp. since this is only an allegation by Fatah against its political rival Hamas. Sana al-Sayegh is a living person, and I request that you remove her (from this section), and not wait for conflicts to be resolved. Bless sins 05:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Here is another contentious claim about two living men. The discussion about this is here. Basically the men deny having covnerted to Islam (by saying that their conversion was "not real"). There is also a reliable secondary source (Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, who teaches sociology and history at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) who says their conversion wasn't valid. Yet they are still listed as converts to Islam.
Again I believe that this contentious info about living persons should be removed, given the contradictory accounts. It's better to remove them, than to wrongly list them. Bless sins 05:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Hi Kylu, you recently had blocked wiki raja for 3rr. He is at it again. Only this time he's trying to game the system by reverting exactly three times.. and he is doing it across dozens of pages... and he is warring with as many as seven editors of long standing. Please take a look here and do the needful. Thanks. Sarvagnya 01:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Hello Kylu. I remembered these comments: [3] and [4], and this huge amount of edits coming from your part; so I substed transclusions of my welcome template made by other users, and I substed transclusions of some other welcome templates as well. But then, I ran into this welcome template and, since that welcome template's level of transclusion wasn't very small, I started to wonder whether all that should be substed, also considering that that template's level of transclusion was less than 500 compared to the over 1300 level of transclusion of my welcome template, that is was smaller, that it isn't changed very frequently, and that the user who created it is more experienced than me (meaning that the probabilities of that user having a logical and valid reason for not substing are higher). So, is it worth the effort? Should I/anyone subst them all? The answer to this question will also determine my future as a "welcome-template-subster". ♠ TomasBat 03:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [5]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.
As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [6].

I am not sure if you remember who I am but if you do, I return to Wikipedia and see that things are more or less the same. Kingdom of Hearts, Donkey Kong (though it was an awesome game)and Truthiness have all been FA's when really they shouldn't. Just because an article has a high quality of writing it shouldn't automatically be a FA, surely the content and the subject matter should be taken into greater account when picking FA. I could write an incirdable indpeth and detailed article about Jonesville, FL but just because its in depth and written well shouldn't grant it FA status, I mean its a small "town" after all.
Also I don't think Wikipedia is doing its self any favours by have FA's that are on highly controversial subjects like Kinght's Templar and Intelligent design. Ah well this is Wikipedia and Wikipedia loves to create controversy (and loads of political infighting).

Hi, Kylu. You recently deleted an image uploaded by User:Lisamodel.

Is there any way for you to check the deleted images uploaded by those accounts (particularly User:Tattoogirl21) to see if I am correct in recalling that it was this vandal?

Thank you for uploading Image:Hell house(cover).png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 03:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Dear Kylu, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

Care to explain why my userspace is suddenly protected against myself being able to edit it? A tongue-in-cheek comment is hardly "high-risk, requiring immediate page protection", and I'm not sure it's even possible to "edit war" over your own userpage. I've compromised on the complaints, but it makes no sense to protect the page, and I was curious what the process for instigating it had been.

This is a huge mistake to block Ramdrake for one month! How can that be? One month for a 3rr infraction! I've seen others who've egregiously ignored policy get a slap on the hand. This is absolutely ludicrous. How do I contest this excessively harsh punishment? Where do you get your orders from that this is fair and just? Seriously, I'd like to know. I'm not trying to be combative, I just don't understand the harsh punishment one bit! Do you know you are losing a PhD and a good editor? My gosh. I don't understand this place at all! I must be stupid then. If there are others, who are in HIGH SCHOOL, edit articles, evade blocks, and create an atmosphere of disruption continue to play homework assignments by editing Wikipedia. That's all Wikipedia will have left! In case you may not know, younger people take this much better and will come back than older people would? Do you really understand those consequences? By blocking a person with actual credentials and life experience is the worse thing that Wikipedia needs! Now will I be blocked by expressing my disgust of this type of punishment?

To the 1,337 users that woke out to discover the Orange Bar of Doom:
A very friendly user by the name of TomasBat decided to leave a lot of people, over a very long period of time, a very large welcome message chock-full of useful tidbits and goodies and information.
He also did what they called "translcusion" (see Subst for more information on this) that is, every time his welcome page would change, every single copy of the template had to be changed by the software as well.
Obviously, this is a Very Bad Thing, because instead of the very expensive computers Wikimedia Foundation has being used to serve informative Wikipedia articles to the masses, it has to go through and re-render his welcome page. Currently, another administrator by the name of Ryulong has it set for the "standard" welcome page, which is what I'm substituting onto your pages. If you'd like the original version of it, it can be found at the old version of that page. Cute welcome graphics and all.
Ryulong's gone ahead and left TomasBat a handy message about why it's important to subst his welcome templates, from what I understand. Please feel free to say that TomasBat welcomed you, as he certainly did notice you editing and take the time to provide you with all that information.
If I suddenly stop working on this, it's probably because either:

Good morning: I thought I would put the following comments here because, though they arose on the Baby 81 discussion page, they are not related to the on-going argument about the use of the child's name. First, not all of us type equally well, and not all of us see equally well. Sometimes, late at night, on my lap-top screen, the black text is not very distnguishable from the blue, and thus, even after several Previews, a typing mistake can remain. Please feel free, if such a typo happens in something I have done, to repair it when you notice it. If nothing else, it would be faster for you than to write out an explanation, only to strike it out almost immediately.
Second, about your signature: I was certainly not mocking either it or you. In mark-up, it is a difficult one to read, with all the brackets and letters that are not usual combinations in English. As I said, I am not much of a typist. Maybe I should also state the obvious that I am not much of a programmer either. I tried copying the signature and was successful in the my first attempt, I thought, but kept losing bits when I repeated the effort in the following comments. I then even tried to get it down to the bare blue, but, oddly enough, thought you might be more upset by that than an honest effort to get your chosen name form right. (It would have been correct, I think now, in the morning, when I can see, if I had not tried to leave out the two letters that follow the name. That's where I kept going astray. In one Preview, the whole of the message following your signature came out hot pink.) There is enough contention on Baby 81's page without simple mistakes being taken for things much more sinister. I will try to do better in future and would be grateful for the extension of WP:AGF for first offenses at least. Bielle 15:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC) reply
There is an ongoing discussion about the article you protected, Negroid. I request your input. Muntuwandi 04:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC) reply
As far as I can see there seems to be a consensus of four editors. In any case a consensus should not be necessary when something is used with to disparage the subjects. I don't believe the prolonged protection of the article will help resolve disputes rather it will just raise temperatures because it gives the impression that the racists have won.

There are major problems with the Negroid article in the version you preserved it in. It needs immediately tagged with factual accuracy, disputed, verify source, and original research tag, as none of the four sources I checked say anything that is claimed in the article.

Hi,
You protected this article recently. Can you please take a look at this section. Here I have argued that Sana al-Sayegh should not be listed as "Forced conversion", esp. since this is only an allegation by Fatah against its political rival Hamas. Sana al-Sayegh is a living person, and I request that you remove her (from this section), and not wait for conflicts to be resolved. Bless sins 05:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Here is another contentious claim about two living men. The discussion about this is here. Basically the men deny having covnerted to Islam (by saying that their conversion was "not real"). There is also a reliable secondary source (Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, who teaches sociology and history at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) who says their conversion wasn't valid. Yet they are still listed as converts to Islam.
Again I believe that this contentious info about living persons should be removed, given the contradictory accounts. It's better to remove them, than to wrongly list them. Bless sins 05:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Hi Kylu, you recently had blocked wiki raja for 3rr. He is at it again.

Please take a look here and do the needful. Thanks. Sarvagnya 01:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Hello Kylu. I remembered these comments: [3] and [4], and this huge amount of edits coming from your part; so I substed transclusions of my welcome template made by other users, and I substed transclusions of some other welcome templates as well. But then, I ran into this welcome template and, since that welcome template's level of transclusion wasn't very small, I started to wonder whether all that should be substed, also considering that that template's level of transclusion was less than 500 compared to the over 1300 level of transclusion of my welcome template, that is was smaller, that it isn't changed very frequently, and that the user who created it is more experienced than me (meaning that the probabilities of that user having a logical and valid reason for not substing are higher). So, is it worth the effort? Should I/anyone subst them all? The answer to this question will also determine my future as a "welcome-template-subster". ♠ TomasBat 03:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [5]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.
As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [6].

I am not sure if you remember who I am but if you do, I return to Wikipedia and see that things are more or less the same. Kingdom of Hearts, Donkey Kong (though it was an awesome game)and Truthiness have all been FA's when really they shouldn't. Just because an article has a high quality of writing it shouldn't automatically be a FA, surely the content and the subject matter should be taken into greater account when picking FA. I could write an incirdable indpeth and detailed article about Jonesville, FL but just because its in depth and written well shouldn't grant it FA status, I mean its a small "town" after all.
Also I don't think Wikipedia is doing its self any favours by have FA's that are on highly controversial subjects like Kinght's Templar and Intelligent design. Ah well this is Wikipedia and Wikipedia loves to create controversy (and loads of political infighting).

Is there any way for you to check the deleted images uploaded by those accounts (particularly User:Tattoogirl21) to see if I am correct in recalling that it was this vandal?

Thank you for uploading Image:Hell house(cover).png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

Doesn't look like there are any pages that match your specifications. I hope that's of help. ~Kylu ( u| t) 23:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC) reply

I was going to just append the results, but it looks like this one's going to keep running for some time. ~Kylu ( u| t) 01:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC) reply
Dear Kylu, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

Hi Kylu, thanks for the note, I use the nick "Addhoc" on IRC, but haven't registered a cloak. In fact, I'm not even sure that I've registered the nickname. Probably best not to give me any operator privileges just yet. Addhoc ( talk) 12:54, 11 March 2008 (UTC) reply
I was going over the list of bots and noticed that KyluBot ( talk · contribs) has not edited in a very long time. Is this bot still active and if not, would you object to it being de-flagged? Please post your comments to Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Dead_bots since this is a rather widely-posted message. MBisanz talk 06:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC) reply
Actually, the tag should stay The article was created by him, and he blanked the page, and according to G7 he is requesting deletion. I have put the tag back on the page. Thanks, - Milk's Favorite Cookie 14:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC) reply
