It was codswallop - I have warned the IP. If he repeats, revert and warn again, back to AIV if he goes past #4 warning. Cheers, JohnCD ( talk) 10:35, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
a lovely read that has no lede. Penyulap ☏ 16:11, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
What fun! New Forest ponies are bred for racing, which has been a pastime of Forest Folks for many, many years. And here you can see the results of that breeding – some of the Home Gang at play, racing for the sheer hell of it ... and merrily churning up the field in the process! [Sigh. Now we will have to roll it ...]. Pesky ( talk) 13:07, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
I keep being told there is a communication problem. It seems I'm the only one in-step here and its a lonely feeling. I mean it seems the problem must be me. Please whip off my blinkers and explain, I promise to stand quietly. Sincerely, Eddaido ( talk) 04:48, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Okay, while I'm thinking, here's a project for both of you to do. In your own sandboxes, go through all the bits of your arguments with each other, note the diff, and then write what you thought the other person was thinking about it at the time. Let me know when you've done that. Adding: you both might find it a helpful exercise to read
this.
You guys might find Andy / Eddaido interactions and SamBlob /Eddaido interactions and Andy / SamBlob interactions a useful tool. ;P All kudos to SW for creating this research-facilitator. |
Did you go through all the arguments and try to work out what the other person was thinking? That's often a useful start to trying to suss out where things went wrong. We often write things with an expectation of how the other person will react to them, and we sometimes get that wrong. And that works the other way around, as well – we often react very differently from how the other person expected when they wrote something.
The next step, after doing the project mentioned above, is to find out if the other editor can then look at what you thought they were thinking, and tell you what they were actually thinking. Then you can compare the two and see where mistakes were made. Let me know when you've put together your project page, OK? Pesky ( talk) 05:11, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Review's finished now, just a few issues to either deal with or persuade me I'm wrong – stranger things have happened. ;-) You can find it here. Malleus Fatuorum 14:52, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

I can't eat any of the food, and my experiences on Slamtrak turned me off when it comes to trains, but I still got a kick out of the "Pesky Express". INeverCry 03:14, 10 May 2012 (UTC) |
I left another comment in response to your question regarding Messianic Judaism. If I was at all right about one of your possible unstated points, I hope you see fit to respond; if I was wrong, well, that just means I screwed up once again, and my apologies.
And my thanks for your continuing to be an editor at all after a rather serious surgery as that you have recently undergone.
Oh, and regarding your infobox at the top of the page - whatever you do, don't say "meow." User:Meowy and others already have that field covered, although I'm not sure if they are quite as, um, determined breeders as Greebo is. John Carter ( talk) 20:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Regarding the assignment you gave at AN/I, currently at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive750#Harassment by User:Andy Dingley: While I figure the "both of you" meant User:Eddaido and User:Andy Dingley, the assignment looked interesting (although not nearly as interesting as the resource tools that you made available), and I decided to try it as well. What I have so far is here: User:SamBlob/sandbox#What was Eddaido thinking?
However, I am not sure I am doing this correctly. I had initially thought I was being asked to say what I thought Eddaido was thinking when he made his edits. Now I am not sure. Was I supposed to do that, or was I supposet to say what I thought Eddaido thought when he saw my edits?
Sincerely, SamBlob ( talk) 22:55, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
I have a few other WikiJobs to catch up on, as well, and I may be called away at any moment as my mother is very poorly :o( But I promise I'll read through what you've done. The really interesting part, of course, is when you've all done the work, and you each go through and read each others! That's when everything starts to get untangled and everyone starts suddenly to understand each other, and understand what when wrong, and how. Hugz! Pesky ( talk) 03:07, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey thanks a bunch for helping me out on the Aaron Rodgers article. It's my first GA attempt and I can honestly say I've put more work into it then anything else I've done on the encyclopedia.-- SKATER Is Back 01:40, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
You're from Ringwood? That was one of the towns I visited when I first went to England in 1996, because a friend of mine lived in the area. I got a ton of shite for being a "Yank", but one local liked me because of my FBI hat: he was an X-Files fan. When I went to the next town on my journey, I said I had been to Ringwood, and was met with confused looks. "Why were you in Ringwood? It's a rough town." I thought it was funny; but I sensed the same thing. Cheers... Doc talk 05:03, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
I love the area - though I found Penzance to be the ultimate gift on that leg of the trip. Tourists, eh! I believe it was in Dorchester, while I was hunting down an old ancestor who left for the "New World", where I got the "Ringwood" stares. They were perplexed as to why I had even dreamed of going there. Cheers :> Doc talk 05:19, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
I didn't even make it to Saint Michael's Mount, unfortunately. Had some really good mead in Penzance though; you can't get that stuff over here, especially the wonderful flavored meads. I was told afterwards, headed north to Scotland on the train, that Land's End was far better than Penzance, and that we had done the wrong thing by not going there. There's always next time though!

Well, If my work on Wikipedia is that big of a damn issue that some editors are just getting irked of for no reason, and then they assume I have bad faith, then fine, SP and Floquenbeam win, I'm out. I hope that satisfies them for all that so-called pain they were having and then they can just leave me alone.

It's been one today, but on the other hand I can come up with quirky awards on them slightly faster than they can be deleted, actually so far nothing has been deleted, but I think some of my ideas are strange. like The Donut of DOOM which is going into human testing. Still, maybe tomorrow I can think of something better to do. I give up on useful though, there is too much drama in it. Like I draw the Chinese space station and it disappears, well, blinks on and off, and then OPSEK is like huh ? I'd rather be doing something like that but ooh, the dramas. (but don't say I was talking space stuff) there is quite a circus going on in other places over there. Penyulap ☏ 15:27, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
I love your Do(ugh)nut of DOOM, and the hunting pic! And your explanation of why the horse is running faster than the train had both me and my younger son in fits of giggles.

Thanks for weighing in on the Messianic Judaism 'discussions.' Your edit was neutral and was a good compromise, but it only lasted 1 hour and 14 minutes before it was reverted with the comment "Which sources support that claim?" And so it goes. POV comments challenging the neutrality of other editors, and bully methods to those that don't comply. Thanks anyway.-- DeknMike ( talk) 05:11, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). A notification that the prototype for the New Pages Feed is now live on enwiki! We had to briefly take it down after an unfortunate bug started showing up, but it's now live and we will continue developing it on-site.
The page can be found at Special:NewPagesFeed. Please, please, please test it and tell us what you think! Note that as a prototype it will inevitably have bugs - if you find one not already mentioned at the talkpage, bring it up and I'm happy to carry it through to the devs. The same is true of any additions you can think of to the software, or any questions you might have - let me know and I'll respond.
Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 13:16, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
I hope you are holding up well. I'm still making quirky awards with each one just off the target in a way that probably only amuses the two of us, I made another one, a kitten of sorts, I'll give it to you first, I hope it brings a little wiki-cheer when you are taking a break from RL, which I hope is going according to the plans of the universe, a nice broad well worn path would be nice at times like these, rather than a goat trail over a mountain. I hope the pain is no more than it is meant to be. Penyulap ☏ 17:27, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey Pesky. Regardless of anything - I had to stop by here and say hi, I heard some news that was very sad, and I did want to offer you my honest heart and hugs. You are a truly wonderful person - please don't ever change that. You've won an old man's heart, and even if I have NO desire to see your pet snake - I still offer you my warmest and most sincere hugs that I could ever possibly give over the internet. You are a true gift girl. ALLLLLLL my best. k? — Ched : ? 17:37, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Pesky, I'm not sure if we've ever interacted directly, although I've certainly seen your comments around the site, particularly at Malleus's talk page. In any case, I extend to you my condolences over the loss of your mother. May time bring you peace, and I hope that there are many good memories to cherish. Ladyof Shalott 23:03, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Normally there seems no end to how happy or sad we can feel about something, for me, especially how long I can go on laughing and smiling about something, or so it seems, but there is a wall, there is a limit where something is still funny or sad or makes you angry but you can't laugh cry or yell anymore. Like driving off the road onto the grass, you keep on going and you notice the road gradually disappeared from under you, but you're still going the same speed and why is that, shouldn't you have stopped or slowed down or something ? And now you're way off the road and it's all different and weird and you hurtle onwards wondering what is going on.
God gave us just a bucket for our tears and that's all, it fills up slow and we can pour them our when we need to but it gets to the end and the tears run dry and we stop crying. The hurt doesn't stop, it keeps straight on the same way and we keep straight on going through the motions with an empty face and no tears and the exact same broken heart.
Just the way that we are made, except I think for that guy who had the hiccups for 25 years straight and is like 'kill me, [hic] kill me [hic] kill me'. In time, the central axis of your emotions just seems to slowly move back across to where it was, but that takes years. Always you will feel the sadness and joy, but the gravity of the situation gets further away. Time. Time is what it takes, and time is inevitable, Penyulap
I'm sorry to hear of your great loss. I hope that, with time, the pain will wane, and that you'll find something, or someone, else to help fill up the massive hole in your life. Watch this first, though. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 07:32, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
"People can't die, along the coast," said Mr. Peggotty, "except when the tide's pretty nigh out. They can't be born, unless it's pretty nigh in - not properly born, till flood. He's a going out with the tide. It's ebb at half-arter three, slack water half an hour. If he lives till it turns, he'll hold his own till past the flood, and go out with the next tide."
My mother left us this morning, going out with the tide. We're glad she's no longer suffering; she went very peacefully and just looks asleep. Pesky ( talk) 05:34, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks so much, guys. It is very strange not having her around; I've been so used to keeping one ear open for her all the time, it's weird not having to any more. Very hard to put my current feelings into words; it's more a sort of detached / dissociated quiet emptiness than grief as most people would probably understand it. My family were very touched by all your messages, too. Pesky ( talk) 04:38, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

I am very happy to see other editors without a clear potential religious bias appearing in the above material. I wish I could point out a few reference books with good articles on the MJs, but the one I am currently most directly working with, for whatever reason, didn't include an article on them, or any real coverage of them so far as I can see. There are a few books on the subject, but most are either written by Jews or MJs, and are not unreasonably potentially biased. But I can try to review the ones available to me again, if there are particular points you might want to see their coverage of.
Oh, yeah, Greebo says "hello." Well, OK, it wasn't actually a "hello". Greebo doesn't really like dogs much. It was more of a "hsss," actually. Anyway, thought you might like to know. John Carter ( talk) 22:38, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
This was not a very good idea, especially after the editor was recently just being discussed on AN and they did a non-admin close of the previous related discussion.

Sorry that an edit spat of mine wound up affecting your New Forest Pony article. We need to do some work on the horse tack articles and categories, but this samuraiantiqueworld guy doesn't know what he's doing plus has an axe to grind with me. (Another person who attacks me viciously because I call them on their stuff. This gets old). If you haven't watchlisted saddle and stirrup, would you be kind enough to do so? Montanabw (talk) 18:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Sorry about the confusion on your refs on RS/N. Originally this }} was missing so I replaced what was there, but still the refs were not showing up so I tried the another format. I didn't see that the format I used had picked up the refs from another thread. (Note to self: check what you've edited more carefully) Anyway, seems fine now( olive ( talk) 13:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC))
fyi; I've mentioned you at ANI in relation to user:samuraiantiqueworld and issues relating to New Forest pony and its FAC. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#user:samuraiantiqueworld and false claims of outing. Br'er Rabbit ( talk) 19:37, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Pesky, see the discussion on my talk page, it actually seems more likely that an Iberian link to the UK ponies could easily be made via the Romans; far more likely than the Armada tales. But we are in OR speculation land on that, wanted to toss you the bone, however! I think you are onto something, just not sure what. Montanabw (talk) 18:50, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Pesky, saw your comment on the NF pony FAC page and wanted to comment here. It generally takes a minimum of three supports (often more, depending on the article) before the delegates consider there to be consensus to promote. You pretty much just have to be patient, although reviewing other articles on the FAC page can be helpful. Dana boomer ( talk) 11:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

You've won an old man's heart, and even if I have NO desire to see your pet snake - I still offer you my warmest and most sincere hugs that I could ever possibly give over the internet. You are a true gift girl. ALLLLLLL my best. k? — Ched : ? 17:37, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Pesky, I'm not sure if we've ever interacted directly, although I've certainly seen your comments around the site, particularly at Malleus's talk page. In any case, I extend to you my condolences over the loss of your mother. May time bring you peace, and I hope that there are many good memories to cherish. Ladyof Shalott 23:03, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Normally there seems no end to how happy or sad we can feel about something, for me, especially how long I can go on laughing and smiling about something, or so it seems, but there is a wall, there is a limit where something is still funny or sad or makes you angry but you can't laugh cry or yell anymore. Like driving off the road onto the grass, you keep on going and you notice the road gradually disappeared from under you, but you're still going the same speed and why is that, shouldn't you have stopped or slowed down or something ? And now you're way off the road and it's all different and weird and you hurtle onwards wondering what is going on.
God gave us just a bucket for our tears and that's all, it fills up slow and we can pour them our when we need to but it gets to the end and the tears run dry and we stop crying. The hurt doesn't stop, it keeps straight on the same way and we keep straight on going through the motions with an empty face and no tears and the exact same broken heart.
Just the way that we are made, except I think for that guy who had the hiccups for 25 years straight and is like 'kill me, [hic] kill me [hic] kill me'. In time, the central axis of your emotions just seems to slowly move back across to where it was, but that takes years. Always you will feel the sadness and joy, but the gravity of the situation gets further away. Time. Time is what it takes, and time is inevitable, Penyulap
I'm sorry to hear of your great loss. I hope that, with time, the pain will wane, and that you'll find something, or someone, else to help fill up the massive hole in your life. Watch this first, though. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 07:32, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
"People can't die, along the coast," said Mr. Peggotty, "except when the tide's pretty nigh out. They can't be born, unless it's pretty nigh in - not properly born, till flood. He's a going out with the tide. It's ebb at half-arter three, slack water half an hour. If he lives till it turns, he'll hold his own till past the flood, and go out with the next tide."
My mother left us this morning, going out with the tide. We're glad she's no longer suffering; she went very peacefully and just looks asleep. Pesky ( talk) 05:34, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks so much, guys. It is very strange not having her around; I've been so used to keeping one ear open for her all the time, it's weird not having to any more. Very hard to put my current feelings into words; it's more a sort of detached / dissociated quiet emptiness than grief as most people would probably understand it. My family were very touched by all your messages, too. Pesky ( talk) 04:38, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Cursor blinking, don't know what to write. Wish I could find Wendy Carlos's version of " Sinfonia to Cantata No. 29" on YouTube for you. xxx -- Shirt58 ( talk) 12:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
I am very happy to see other editors without a clear potential religious bias appearing in the above material. I wish I could point out a few reference books with good articles on the MJs, but the one I am currently most directly working with, for whatever reason, didn't include an article on them, or any real coverage of them so far as I can see. There are a few books on the subject, but most are either written by Jews or MJs, and are not unreasonably potentially biased. But I can try to review the ones available to me again, if there are particular points you might want to see their coverage of.
Oh, yeah, Greebo says "hello." Well, OK, it wasn't actually a "hello". Greebo doesn't really like dogs much. It was more of a "hsss," actually. Anyway, thought you might like to know. John Carter ( talk) 22:38, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
This was not a very good idea, especially after the editor was recently just being discussed on AN and they did a non-admin close of the previous related discussion. I think it's just going to pass unnoticed -- slow day -- but thought you might want to have a word. Nobody Ent 22:28, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Sorry that an edit spat of mine wound up affecting your New Forest Pony article. We need to do some work on the horse tack articles and categories, but this samuraiantiqueworld guy doesn't know what he's doing plus has an axe to grind with me. (Another person who attacks me viciously because I call them on their stuff. This gets old). If you haven't watchlisted saddle and stirrup, would you be kind enough to do so?

Sorry about the confusion on your refs on RS/N. Originally this }} was missing so I replaced what was there, but still the refs were not showing up so I tried the another format. I didn't see that the format I used had picked up the refs from another thread. (Note to self: check what you've edited more carefully) Anyway, seems fine now( olive ( talk) 13:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC))
fyi; I've mentioned you at ANI in relation to user:samuraiantiqueworld and issues relating to New Forest pony and its FAC. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#user:samuraiantiqueworld and false claims of outing. Br'er Rabbit ( talk) 19:37, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Pesky, see the discussion on my talk page, it actually seems more likely that an Iberian link to the UK ponies could easily be made via the Romans; far more likely than the Armada tales. But we are in OR speculation land on that, wanted to toss you the bone, however! I think you are onto something, just not sure what. Montanabw (talk) 18:50, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Pesky, saw your comment on the NF pony FAC page and wanted to comment here. It generally takes a minimum of three supports (often more, depending on the article) before the delegates consider there to be consensus to promote. You pretty much just have to be patient, although reviewing other articles on the FAC page can be helpful. Dana boomer ( talk) 11:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
