You're right dear Lar ;) Thanks for reminding me! *Hugz* Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 01:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Lar, why'd you ask the standard question about the admins open to recall of MisfitToys in his RfA? You seem reasonably discriminating about who you ask the question of, so it seemed odd to me that you asked it of someone that no one seems to think will abuse them? Just confused. Thanks in advance for your reply.-- Kchase T 22:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Lar. Thank you for your questions. They are now available on my RfA page. G. H e 00:43, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I've got one question about the 5-day rule, when it comes to updating DYK: what happens when a page is created as a user sandbox, more than five days ago, but it was moved to the article namespace within the 5-day period? Does the page move count as an article creation, or does the first edit to the page? That isn't very clear in the T:DYK instructions... Tito xd( ?!?) 05:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
The bluebonnets are beautiful, thank you.-- Dakota 18:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Sweet dear Lar, I was just thinking today, amazing to see all we've gone through in these months since you first approached me with your (still unanswered) request for a userpage design, isn't it? ;) I guess I don't know what to say... sometimes silence is the most musical of sounds, so I'll just let a blanket of unspoken words cover us while I give you a great hug, hoping that we resume our talks as soon as possible. I miss you. Please take good care! - hugz, Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 19:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
| ||
Despite it being the lead news article of last month, there is still help required in the assessing of articles and the migrating of comments. Lar is willing to provide assistance to those unsure how to do this.
|
As mentioned in the Project News section, The Beatles article has just been listed for a review of its Featured Article status. At the moment there is some discussion as to why it has been listed, and what may be needed to help it retain its FA status. It may well be that some work is going to be required in formulating a plan of action, and then some more in achieving those aims. The FA status is obviously quite important to the Project, and it would be appreciated if participants are able to provide assistance in keeping the article up to standard. The editors would be grateful if those persons receiving this Newsletter could spare some of their time, energy and brainpower in keeping this jewel in our crown in its proper place. Please go to Wikipedia:Featured article review/The Beatles and get involved! Thank you. If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 005 – September 2006). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

Hi again Lar, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. I do appreciate the question you gave....in light of the whole BA thing, I've reëxamined the way I approach conflicts. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page.

Dear Lar, thank you so much for your kind words, your support and your trust in me. My
Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to
come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
I hope you get to read this soon. Once again, thank you, Larry - I'll never be able to say that enough.
Hi there. Thanks for handling the Matthvm affair, and sorry about the poorly-formatted sockpuppet evidence: I've been offline for the last couple of days and only got your messages now. I had also completely missed the link to WP:SSP from WP:SOCK; I hadn't even read WP:SPP before you provided the link. -- Saforrest 12:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Lar-- I just got your msg about crash space-- you'd put it on my user page rather than my user talk page, so I didn't see it until now. It turns out three people are continuing to stay with me, plus I'm moving so the apartment is in complete disarray. That said, if you're really stuck, let me know.

From what I've seen you examine the facts diligently and come to logically sound conclusions. I tip my hat to that. - Samsara ( talk • contribs) 12:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I got involved in Wiki as an outsider. I did Google searches and found Wiki coming up as a source quite frequently. I found I could edit articles and I signed up when I found that discussion was better conducted under a username. In the end, however, I am just a guy who likes to do Google searches and find out stuff on Wiki.
I always read the Main Page, as the featured article is usually both informative and a good guide on how Wiki likes its articles to appear. I had never before felt the urge to comment on an article (although I have done one or two typo edits in the past), but was quite surprised at the lack of clarity in the lead paragraph. Not as surprised as the response I got, though, for making the comment. I understand that people can be quite protective of their project, but dismissing any criticism as unconstructive is foolish. Of course the past cannot be changed, but we both know the maxim about those who are unable to learn from the past. The views of persons who do not participate in the creation or appraisal of a piece are no less valid than those who have, and may have the benefit of distance from the subject.
Civility, or the lack of, is the consequence of reasoned debate. Dismissing comment as "Johnny Come Latelies" whingeing is not reasonable. No aspect of criticism has been discussed, only the purported shortcomings of the manner. In my view the defenders of the article have not responded to comments made in good faith in a like manner; and the exasperation of some have lead to some uncivil language. In warning some editors about the language being used it does seem that the lack of reasonable responses is not being addressed. I know you, thus I know that this is not the case but the impression is of a little one-sidedness. LessHeard vanU 19:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC) er, you can edit this down/away once you have read it, if you like. Mark.
It is a great flattery, dear Lar, and I will drop by every spin off to add my own selections asap, count on it! :) Btw, if any of you need my help to enhance the format of the new pages, just make sure to call me, and I'll take care of the rest. I hope you had a great time at WM, we really missed you over here! :) Big hugs, Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 01:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC) PS.
Dear Lar, AWB is really messed up for me now - I'll d/l the latest version, but it may take me along while to get it working, and unf, there's no telling how long that can be :( I'll let you know later, hugs! Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 05:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I have responded to your message on my talk page. Suicup 08:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm wondering if that ought to go to FARC, because there seems to be several editors with reasonable criticisms of the article. It seems alright to me although hardly brilliant prose or our best work. What do you think Lar? -- kingboyk 12:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Gosh - I thought you would come out of the closet as a federal judge and offer me a judicial clerkship based on my exemplary behavior! Got my heart racing!...

Lar, I'd like to speak with you regarding setting a time limit for this thing. It has now been 48 hours since this story broke. The ANI thread is probably getting archived w/in the next 24. I don't know how long is good, but I am obviously not fit to make the determination. At the same time, I don't want it hanging over my head longer than necessary. Do you think it's appropriate for you to make this decision? - CrazyRussian talk/ email 05:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Have a good and safe trip Lar. You've spent a lot of time fixing up administrative debates lately. As have I...looks like some people think I am some kind of arbitrator.... Blnguyen | rant-line 07:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Lar. No rush on this, given your break. I would like to propose adding question 4 to the usual RFA lineup, as follows: "If promoted, do you plan to join Category:Administrators open to recall and why? If yes, what course of action will you take if recalled?" I would like to get your input first on this idea. If you think this is good or possibly good, I will take it to AN for a discussion. Enjoy your trip. - CrazyRussian talk/ email 04:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Note here from MangoJuice. He wants to unblock. The "apology" is on Karl's talk page. When he apologizes for inciting people to label me and Samsara neo-nazis I might consider a shorter block, but unblocking right now is unacceptable. pschemp | talk 16:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
On the contrary, I think continuing his indef block is now punitive as he has said he will not repeat the action he was blocked for. Could you please review the block with this in mind? Thanks -- Guinnog 18:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
The drop that caused Comanche cph to be reported this time was him calling a fellow editor a "fjeldape" which means mountain ape in the edit summary to this diff.

I've added you to the nominees. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 03:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the note you dropped on my talkpage. Because of that note, I personally thought that it was better to leave Wikipedia alone for a few days...and to think of an adequate way to bring an end to this mess. However, now that I'm back I have come to realize that I was taking this debate with Tobias way too personal, and that partly because of my outbursts it had become a monstrous debate with many involved persons. Personally, I believe that it's currently on the edge of being passed on to the arbitration committee...which is certainly not something which any of us would consider a fitting solution to the problem (at best, a 'last resort' perhaps). Totally in the spirit of Wikilove I have apoligized to Tobias for my actions and I'm hoping he'll do the same. This whole debate about an eight-word-article has gone way over the top.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING (Я) 10:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Refactoring this again, here in the next section is the complete discussion moved from her page and mine, above, to keep it threaded.
Regarding this reversion: [5] ... I gave my reason why I feel it is important that there be a history here of the requests, and you reverted me without any discussion or rebuttal of the reason. Please do not do that going forward, but rather discuss reversion, I would appreciate it. If you have a suggestion as to how to make it clear that there is a history, which I feel is quite important in this particular case, without restoring the template itself I'm very open to that. Would a mention of a diff showing the request be acceptable to you? You can reply here, I prefer conversations to remain threaded and get confused when people reply to me on different pages. ++ Lar: t/ c 22:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I restored the warnings, hope you are happy now.
As a genaral tought, it seems quite unfair, at least from my POV, that you keep pushing me around telling me to read this and that, and yet failing to even cite a single sentence. If you want to be heard, you should show you have some sort of interest in the matter, not putting the burden of finding "proofs" of your statements on others. -- Kwame Nkrumah 15:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
You've been a contributor since 2002??? Under what ID? [6] shows 30 July of this year as your earliest. So you're saying this id of yours is a restart or a sock? OK, whatever. You've been warned. We're done. ++ Lar: t/ c 02:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (53/2/1). I've spent the day trying out the new tools, and trying not to mess things up too badly :). I was quite thrilled with all the support, both from the people I see around every day, as well as many users who I didn't know from before, yet wrote such wonderful things about me.

Sure thing! As the CfD seems to have gotten a bit out of control, I'd just as soon leave well enough alone in terms to adding or removing content from the category. That being said, I thought that you had some good explanations and it would certainly help those who choose not to place themselves in that category understand what you're (the admins in the category) there for. As I mentioned on the CfD, I believe the category could prove to be a great resource if approached in a different manner, as the principle seems to be valuable and well-meaning. hoopydink Conas tá tú? 23:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

On the contrary, I think continuing his indef block is now punitive as he has said he will not repeat the action he was blocked for. Could you please review the block with this in mind? Thanks -- Guinnog 18:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
The drop that caused Comanche cph to be reported this time was him calling a fellow editor a "fjeldape" which means mountain ape in the edit summary to this diff. If you look at the very top of this entry you will see a more in depth explanation as to why this is a very bad thing to do. Inge 21:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
refactored... see below. ++ Lar: t/ c 03:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
I've added you to the nominees. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 03:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the note you dropped on my talkpage. Because of that note, I personally thought that it was better to leave Wikipedia alone for a few days...and to think of an adequate way to bring an end to this mess. However, now that I'm back I have come to realize that I was taking this debate with Tobias way too personal, and that partly because of my outbursts it had become a monstrous debate with many involved persons. Personally, I believe that it's currently on the edge of being passed on to the arbitration committee...which is certainly not something which any of us would consider a fitting solution to the problem (at best, a 'last resort' perhaps). Totally in the spirit of Wikilove I have apoligized to Tobias for my actions and I'm hoping he'll do the same. This whole debate about an eight-word-article has gone way over the top.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING (Я) 10:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Refactoring this again, here in the next section is the complete discussion moved from her page and mine, above, to keep it threaded.
Regarding this reversion: [5] ... I gave my reason why I feel it is important that there be a history here of the requests, and you reverted me without any discussion or rebuttal of the reason. Please do not do that going forward, but rather discuss reversion, I would appreciate it. If you have a suggestion as to how to make it clear that there is a history, which I feel is quite important in this particular case, without restoring the template itself I'm very open to that. Would a mention of a diff showing the request be acceptable to you? You can reply here, I prefer conversations to remain threaded and get confused when people reply to me on different pages. ++ Lar: t/ c 22:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I restored the warnings, hope you are happy now.
As a genaral tought, it seems quite unfair, at least from my POV, that you keep pushing me around telling me to read this and that, and yet failing to even cite a single sentence. If you want to be heard, you should show you have some sort of interest in the matter, not putting the burden of finding "proofs" of your statements on others. -- Kwame Nkrumah 15:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
You've been a contributor since 2002??? Under what ID? [6] shows 30 July of this year as your earliest. So you're saying this id of yours is a restart or a sock? OK, whatever. You've been warned. We're done. ++ Lar: t/ c 02:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (53/2/1). I've spent the day trying out the new tools, and trying not to mess things up too badly :). I was quite thrilled with all the support, both from the people I see around every day, as well as many users who I didn't know from before, yet wrote such wonderful things about me. I look forward to helping to serve all of you, and the project. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with. - Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 04:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC) |

Hi Lar. I've introduced some major changes to our template, and I think the most esoteric template award will shortly be ours muahahaha! :) It could do with some reformatting though, if you're game. I was thinking perhaps we could lose the zebra crossing picture and have . -- kingboyk 09:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Sure thing! As the CfD seems to have gotten a bit out of control, I'd just as soon leave well enough alone in terms to adding or removing content from the category. That being said, I thought that you had some good explanations and it would certainly help those who choose not to place themselves in that category understand what you're (the admins in the category) there for. As I mentioned on the CfD, I believe the category could prove to be a great resource if approached in a different manner, as the principle seems to be valuable and well-meaning. hoopydink Conas tá tú? 23:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

For putting the unblock reason "F@CK YOU unblock me now" actually into the {{ unblock reviewed}} template, I award you this barnstar. I lol'ed. Syrthiss 18:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC) |
Thanks! I thought it was pretty funny too. ++ Lar: t/ c 18:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
