I can't beleive you deleted Image:Wingo the Nissan Silvia.jpg and Image:Snot Rod the Plymouth Barracuda.jpg !!! I liked those images!!! Please bring them back. I want to make a "Cars (film) gallery". Don't deleted anymore images!!! --TimySmidge 15:07, 28 April 2007 (UTC)TimySmidge
The imageswere deleted because they had no rational for copyright/no source info. ViridaeTalk 23:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't care if they had no rational for copyright/no source info. I want those images and I want them soon. The longer I wait, the longer it'll take for that gallery to be made, got it!!! --TimySmidge 15:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)TimySmidge
Not happening, for the reason already stated. ViridaeTalk 23:10, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
I am begging you. My sister and I absolutely love those pictures. I want to print them, but now I can't. Please, do what you can. I'm sorry about the above, but I desperately need those pictures. Please reconsider not bringing them back. Plus, Boost and DJ's pictures stay, why not Wingo and Snot Rod's. Also (I hate correcting) you wrote "images" and "were" as one word. By the way, I'm a Cars fan. --TimySmidge 20:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)TimySmidge
The deleted images did not have any copyright rational, and per your post above I doubt you are about to [21] add any. ViridaeTalk 22:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Copyright Rational? Which post? I left three. --TimySmidge 18:35, 2 May 2007 (UTC)TimySmidge
The on directly above this. ViridaeTalk 22:15, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
The "by the way"? Okay then, how do you add one? Did you like the images? Do you hate me? I want you to answer all of these questions. Also, could you respond on my talk page. --TimySmidge, Protector of everything Cars (film) 20:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)TimySmidge
Per the top of the page, I prefer to keep all conversation n the same place. You upload an image by choosing "Upload file" from the toolbox on the left hand side of your page (with the default skin). Make sure you choose the correct licensing or it will just be deleted again. I do not care either way about the images or yourself. ViridaeTalk 23:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh, thank you Viridae. Now, I must ask, what are "correct licensing I should be warned about. Also, what's a "viridae"? --TimySmidge 18:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)TimySmidge
Viridae means "Virus famly". Correct licencing means making sure you choose the correct licences when you uplaod the file. t will be explained on the uplaod page. ViridaeTalk 00:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I tried such, but when I did, I got terribly confused. Could you either give me step-by-set insturctions (including giving me the correct license) or doing it for me? And, honestely, do you hate me? The truth is good. Also, you never told me which response you're third answer was talking about. Hello, pay attention to me!--TimySmidge 21:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)TimySmidge
Can I get you to review your close of this, please? You've called it "no consensus" when there is a "no reliable sources" reasoning to delete and reliable sources with non-trivial mentions are not provided. - brenneman 00:45, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'm curious about this block? A six-month block for an IP with three edits ever? Is it an open proxy? — Wknight94 ( talk) 13:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I was under the impression that physical threats were a reason for an immediate block, which is why I reported this user. TimVickers 00:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Can Admins edit the Edit summary? If this threat could be removed then I would be less concerned. TimVickers 00:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
The Bacteria article has now disappeared, is this normal? TimVickers 00:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Ah, thank you. Sorry to bug you but my heart stopped for a moment! :) TimVickers 00:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks so much! Thanks also for all that revision work. Ironically, after all that the moronic vandal didn't take the hint and re-inserted exactly the same threats. TimVickers 02:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the congrats and for your vote. It was actually a little creepy, since I was flipping through your logs for samples of speedy deletion edit summaries when the "new message" bar popped up. Here's to hoping I don't live up to my incidental namesake! :) Kuru talk 03:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
I had long and way out of line-terrible argument with mkil who was vandalizing marciano and other pages, i also asked him not to talk to me or leave me any more messages, i do not want to talk to him, all messages are left on marciano dispute pages, tell him never to contact me again. Also Marciano page should be locked longer and mkil not allowed to be there. I have evidence he was logging on under some other ip 58.8 and had some of his friends join in on the "fun" He was warned not to revert many times in the past. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rocky_Marciano#Third_opinion Most of the info is here. Boxingwear
Right, i agree, but you have to look at the broader picture, on talk, right now, people agree with me, i also requested protection from mkil above, did you read that... i mean, wow. On a different subject... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gwernol#Complaint This user deleted the lineal champions, we need to recreate it, reasons are given above and there are other people who agree with me, i can not believe why good articles are killed on wiki, bad remain...Boxingwear
If you'll look at the Marciano page, BoxingWear was told in no uncertain terms by another editor that my edits were not "vandalism." I requested a third party opinion that resulted in a strong chastisement of BoxingWear. He/She continues to assert that my edits are "vandalism" and that I log on under different IP addresses (which is false -- I welcome any attempts to trace IPs to see the truth of this). BoxingWear continues to attack me and refuses to recognize my good faith edits as legitimate. MKil 04:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)MKil
What is the code to put things into archive, to merge or rename article or to put music or square on my talk page. Boxingwear Is there any way you administrators can find out if some other user has been using different ip, in order not to reveal who he is like mkil?Boxingwear
Last spring I was looking at the group, The Residents, listing and found it full of mistakes and suppositions. I made extensive corrections which as manager and historian of the group seemed a rightful responsibility. Acutally I am the only authority for this subject as I also oversee www.residents.com. I am even named in the article as a participant in the group. I made all the changes under my real name as I was not playing games. I just discovered that back in June all my corrections reverted back to the errors and I was branded a "vandal" for removing other people's erronous speculations where it seems to me the person who revereted the material back to the errors is the vandal. I had a message from you from June that I am now resonding to claiming this. Maybe it was you who vandalized my corrections. I don't know since I am not a power user.
Anyway, I do not monitor The Residents page nor will I start doing so, but do wish that the term vandal was not generously handed out to us authorized individuals. Meanwhile, the Wikipedia page for The Residents remains flawed and by naming me a vandal I guess it will stay that way. I do not understand allowing the ignorant to freely speculate on Wikipedia while blocking the knowledgable from correcting data.

Could you help me please? I have received my first warning on Wikipedia (I think from you). Last October there was vigorous debate regarding a quote from Germaine Greer inserted on Irwin's page. After this debate it was edited out and it remained that way for a couple of months until one person inserted it again. Based on previous discussion I and others deleted repeated attempts to insert it again. We suggested that this person read the archives – it seemed to me this person had not read the discussion. The last suggestion to this person was to discuss it before reinserting it. There has been extensive discussion and (at the risk of only presenting my side) all but two people did not want it reinserted for many good reasons. I am confused as to why the person making an insertion in these circumstances gets protection whilst another who removes this with the consent of the discusscion page gets blocked. What should I do. It seems unconscionable to permit this insertion. Alan Davidson 12:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC) I have now noticed you warned both of us. That does seem fairer. Many thanks. Alan Davidson 12:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

You userpage is now fully protected because you have continually reinserted the content in violation of policy. Please note that a protection if preferable to a block, and it was one or the other because of the policy violation. I have chosen protection however to allow you to discuss it here and at WP:ANI (see the bottom of the page). ViridaeTalk 10:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello! If we want to make a neutral encyclopedia, we will need people from all over the world cooperatig with our efforts.

Hi, and congrats on your promotion! Per this discussion, I'm dropping a friendly note to some of the recently-promoted admins requesting help with speedy deletions. I am not an administrator, so if you don't feel comfortable diving into deletions - or if you need more info - please don't come to me, but I'm sure that Cyde Weys would be happy to guide you if you want to help. Any help is great, but I'm sure that Cyde and others would deeply appreciate it if you could put the page on your watchlist and do a bit of work there on a regular basis? Maybe weekly? Thanks in advance! Oh and if you're already working away on CSD please disregard this message; it's not meant as a slight against any hard work you're already doing. Cheers!

Because you have been working so hard to try to resolve the dispute, I am requesting that you once again help in resolving the dispute. I am filing a request for Arbitration, as it has become clear that Trodel will not abide by any decision we try to come to in the RfC. You won't be asked to do much, I think, just give your statement, much as you have for the RfC. Your help would be most appreciated. TheGreenFaerae 09:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you SO much for the offer. As I'm sure he's been active enough that many people will have seen much of his work, I'm afraid I'll have to accept only one or at most two co-noms from people familiar with him. I'm sure he'll welcome your support, though, and I hope you can help me out with my next nomination. Thank you again for the support! It's really appreciated. Cheers.

AFAIK, this is disruptive behaviour.
I asked for all the comments (and my original text, rebutting Drini´s defamation against me) to be reposted again [2], and Drini deleted my petition and posted new defamatory (i.e., false) stuff against me [3].
I was receiving good ideas about what to do from other administrators until Drini came and started posting factually false nonsense [4] about me (as Drini recognized [5]). Drini was called to enter the fray from the Spanish Wikipedia [6].
I think that this Drini´s behaviour is outrageous, and I ask you for help. What can I do?.
Randroide 11:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, the situation is not so bad as I thought (albeit is neither a good one).
Drini pasted the whole discussion in a different linked page [7].
I missed that pasting. I thought the text was deleted.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Nonetheless, any comment?.

A user/SPA has requested a copy a deleted article (deleted per AFD as NN). I don't see anything in the article that is sensitive - but a quick scan of policy scan reveals no guidelines. Is dumping a copy into his userspace kosher? Kuru talk 13:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I had already indef blocked that CaptJebus guy before you left your warning, so I replaced your warning with an {{indef}}.

I would agree, if it weren't for the fact it was a bread-and-butter merge (duplicate articles), and reverting the redirect was effectively a POV fork. User:Mais oui! also seems to have a history of edit warring, ironically using the summary "reverting edit warring by User:X". Chris cheese whine 12:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you removed an ip that I re-requested at the admin intervention page. Rather than reporting the same IP for the third time, and risking being regarded as a vandal myself, I just wanted to bring it to your attention that new vandal edits came from this ip. Making it 5 in just over 2 hours. Please deal with it in a way you see fit, I will stop monitoring this IP and get out of your way.

Viridae, I came across Dora Nichov ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)'s unblock request and would like to talk to you about potentially shortening the block from indefinite. From what I can tell the user has gotten annoyed and made some silly comments to IPs: 'I'm warning you..., You know, I hate vandals..., 'Didn't I tell you to stop!?, 'LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I tell you to stop -- STOP!, If I could, I WILL ban you! Or do anything so you will be banned!. More importantly, the editor made two comments containing the phrase "I'll kill you". I don't want to minimize the significance of such comments, but I do think that, in context, even the target wouldn't take them as serious death threats: test1|Dora Nichov Plus I'll kill you if you vandalize my userpage again., and Stupid vandal, I'll kill you the way I kill moose!. Certainly, such comments display horrible judgment, are absolutely not acceptable, and warrant a long block. That said, I don't see how this is either a personal attack placing another user in danger or a pattern of persistent personal attacks (the two applicable situations warranting an indefinite block that I see in WP:BLOCK). Finally, given the editor's history of positive contributions, an indefinite block probably has the net effect of doing more harm than good to Wikipedia. I would instead suggest shortening the block to two months. In light of the serious reasons behind the block, I feel I need your consent or acquiesence rather than reducing the block myself. Thank you for your consideration.-- Kchase T 10:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I was under the impression that Articles for Deletion had a five day review process? I just created the article on 2/20/07, it was vandalized repeatedly, and then deleted the same day.

It would have been nice to have more than 12 hours to address the complaints and find more sources.-- Notmydesk 10:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

(I did not edit anything about Steve Erwin...) Hi! I got "spanked" a little for editing away the statement on the Wikipedia page on David Icke which stated "as an indisputable fact" (that's the impression) that The Protocols Of The Elders of Zion is "an Anti-Semitic Hoax". This has not been proven to be the case in any way and is simply a subjective statement, of course also adding to the "Anti-Semitic allegations" against Mr. Icke that are really quite ridiculous. I have read several of his books and I have not seen any statement by Icke condemning the Semitic race. (definiton of Anti-Semitism). He HAS on the other hand condemned Zionism many times. Something that also many Jews have condemned. Anyway.... Icke's message is a message about waking up to the Truth (opening one's eyes) and questioning consensus reality. And what the Wikipedia page hardly mentions at all; he documents thoroughly through his writings and lectures the criminal and unconscientous activities of the most powerful individuals and corporations on the planet. Whether they be reptilians or not. But "Anti-Semitism" and "Right-wing" something-something is what catches the eye of the reader. And this is certainly very far from "objective". greetings, Bjorn —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bjornyvan ( talk • contribs) 19:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

Hi Viridae,
firstly thanks for taking the protection off the page. I don't really appreciate your comment "Lets see if people can behave" but hey this is the Internet and communication works in different ways...
Anyways, onto the topic in question... there is a constant 'dark cloud' hanging over the Cave Clan wikipedia page, that is a person who (amongst creating different usernames that are really the one person, him) was once an accessory of the CC (I don't think he was ever a member...) but is now vehement in his revenge on us, and an integral part of this is defaming us here because Wikipedia is for some people the first reference for info on some things. I'm not sure of his reasonings but he loves to paint us in a bad light - see his web links http://www.urbanadventure.org/main/stuff/ildraino/caveclan.htm and http://www.urbanadventure.org/main/stuff/ildraino/wikipedia.htm.
I don't know if you've read through the blab in the talk page on CC wiki but he has used a lot of different usernames to put forward his posts. His aliases are: hibou, UrbanExplorer, Raresaturn (recent creation), Panic!, Gunny... anyway I think you get my gist (I've listed them on the Talk page too). All the posts read in a similar vein, I hope you can notice that.
Just wondering; is there any way to check on IP addresses of the posts that have been made by the above and any users onto the Talk page? I would like to know what ones are associated with all the users who have made posts. Also this would ascertain the above statement further.
Finally... I was wondering (have talked with other CC people about this too) if you'd like to meet us, Cave Clan, to get a gauge of who we are and what we are about ('larrikinism' is something that can be as close as it gets to explaining our whole character). You can email info@caveclan.org for... more info, or browse www.caveclan.org for more (endorsed?) info. Thinking this would give you, a wikipedia admin person, a better idea of who we are, what we do, how we are organised etc. This is to support a definite NPOV being described on the CC wiki page e.g. homophobia, KKK comments removed permanently (as if we'd allow people like this to join or be associated with us...)
Anyways (final one) I hope you can understand what I'm saying above, overall that the CC wants a 'NPOV' cemented for its description here, Because at the moment some of it is, to put it simply, 'shit'.
Thanks Dmnscar 13:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I'm sorry about the RfA confusion. The RfA looked malformed, because I have made that mistake when I nominated ProveIt. I did find answers afterall to the questions.

Hello, I noticed that you removed the request for Admin. intervention regarding the IP addresses 64.179.53.224 and 80.188.72.172. For the first you stated, "no recent warnings," although the last warning was less than a month ago (February 22, 2007) and his user page consists entirely of vandalism warnings and blocks. For the second you stated "no recent vandalism" although the incident I reported took place only a couple days ago (March 6th). This user's talk page also consists only of warnings about vandalism. Can you please specify for me what the time limit involved in reporting vandals amounts to (e.g., is there a policy regarding recency of activity or warnings). This would prevent me from providing spurious reports. In this case, however, I don't see that these two IP addresses have done anything but vandalize Wikipedia, so I hope this matter can be given some attention. Thank you. ◄ Zahakiel ► 03:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I notice that you've interpreted the result of the AfD on double posting as "merge and delete", and I figured I should point out that actually going through with this (merging the material and then deleting the page it came from) is probably illegal under the GFDL. Section 4 B of the GFDL requires that modified versions of a document must include a list of five of the primary authors of the original version and in Wikipedia this requirement is met via the article histories. A merge without a copy of the article history being preserved somewhere on Wikipedia would therefore be unlicenced, and a copyvio. I'm moving the double posting article back to its original location, merging it, and then turning it into a redirect; as far as I'm aware this is the proper way to preserve article history in this situation. Bryan Derksen 04:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, sir, I took Twasnow's advice and changed it from "This user supports armed resistance to Israeli hostilities" to "this user supports resistance to hostilities". Now someone else, replaced it from "This user supports resistance to hostilities" to "This user supports resistance to Israeli hostilties" because he thought I had every right to keep, since other people can express whatever views they have. "This user supports cats to dog hostilities" should dog hostilities occur is acceptable. Now every one has witnessed Israel's last war, and we can all agree Israel is a disgusting murderous state. I can see you try your best to provoke me, thankfully till now it hasn't worked. Good thing not every one on wikipedia is biased against Arabs and Muslims. You are asked to leave me alone, or remove every single political userbox on Wikipedia. Regards. Emбargo 00:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, "This user supports resistance to hostilities" was accepted by everyone. The link to massacres was always there. Your racism and flagrant bias makes me sick. Another user thought I had the right to add Israeli to hostilities because everyone on Wikipedia expresses his/her political views. You know I'm right, you just decided to protect my userpages under false pretext. Another attempt to provoke an Arab into getting blocked. Unprotect my userpage or delete every political userbox on Wikipedia. You are abusing your administator rights. Racism and flagrant bias could have very serious consequences. Avoid double-standards and unprotect my userpage. Emбargo 00:48, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, where in WP:USER does it say I don't have the right to have that userbox? I think "Hezbollah=Murder Inc." is attacking someone. Supporting Lebanese resistance to Israeli hostilities or Canadian to American hostilities, should they occur, is not attacking someone. But I guess you know that, you're just too racist and biased to accept it. Emбargo 00:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
“ | libelling people on userpages is a bad idea, and in fact, using userpages to attack people or campaign for or against anything or anyone is a bad idea | ” |
Oh and you are quite welcome to continue to console yourself with the thought that you are being picked on because you are an Abrab. I really don't care what nationality or upbringing you come from. That userbox is nothing more than political soapboxing and as such is not welcome on wikipedia. Viridae Talk 01:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I was looking for an answer to my request, no for you to comment on the few words I wrtoe in the end. Another way of getting out of it. You are asked to unprotect my userpage. Again, your flagrant bias and racism is quite obvious. Reply, if you will, to what I said earlier. Again, either you leave me be or you delete every userbox expressing support to anything. God you people make me sick. I hope your next reply isn't a comment on "God you people make me sick".

Also, this is a short list of users who have userboxes expressing support of Israel. User:Snickerdo User:Kmweber User:Dana I am allowed to show support for resistance when Israel is hostile, as it was when it attacked last summer and destoryed my home. You people just do not want to accept the fact that Israel hated by most people. Showing support for resistance isn't hostile, is it? What the movement resists is what is hostile. I think 60 years ago, you would have allowed the French to express support of resistance to Nazi hostilities. Emбargo 01:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Huh. To think you'd have something else to do beside going through my contributions. Thankfully, I do not have as much time to contribute to Wikipedia and I'm not willing to discuss this any further. I assume you have seen my correspondants' userpages? I am willing to reinstate the usebox that hasn't received any complaints and that an admin proposed, by removing the 'Israeli' part, so that it reads "This user supports armed resistance to hostilities.". It is not in violation of policy, nor does it offend anyone. This is a good gesture, and I await your reply. Emбargo 03:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't think so. I think you know I have the right to keep it, and you know this formulation has been agreed on, and the link to massacres has always been there. You're just abusing your rights as an admin, and abusing my act of good gesture by removing what disturbed people about this userbox. Israel does commit massacres, and massacres are to be responded wth resistance. I removed the Israeli part so that no one is offended. Should you decide not to unprotect my userbox, I will discuss this with another admin. Emбargo 13:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello Viridae, I noticed you unprotected this page. There's been a lengthy feud on the talk page (spanning two archived subpages and most of the current one) which is still unresolved. I haven't really been part of it, but I watchlist most HP articles and just thought it would be unhelpful to the discussion.

This ip has edited many pages of which you have issued him a warning for one and today edited the Wikipedia Admins entry. I issued him a warning at which point he accused me of harassment and lied about being friends with an administrator which turned out to be untrue when the person mentioned came forward.

I don't enjoy being accused of harrasment because I tried to edit a vandilised article! -- Rboxer 10:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok. I want to resolve this and go one with my editing. I will change the content of the userbox and replace it with "This user supports armed resistance to Israeli hostilities." Hopefully, we won't have to discuss this matter any further. Emбargo 11:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I like how you enforce the blanking of my thread by protecting the page. I made it clear in the now-blanked thread, that I was not "soapboxing", but simply expressing my views on the talk page, as the nom had been pulled by the time I was able to get back to the RfA to discuss. That the four of you chose to tag-team me, and then protect the page to enforce your edits is against all that Wikipedia supposedly stands for. K. Scott Bailey 06:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello.
I'd like you to reconsider your block of Certified.Gangsta.
Please look
here.
It isn't that I'm lovey-dovey with gangsta. (frankly, I know little of him and don't even care)
However, I'm very much concerned with how rules are applied, especially in related cases.
Case in point:
CG really should have simply received a 3rr warning. At least that would've conveyed the same sense of "you're on the edge, but you get a reprieve" that Ideogram got.
More importantly, when two editors are at odds with eachother, admins treating one demonstrably better than the other really sends a bad message. Consistency and fairness are necessary if anyone is to take the position of 'admin' seriously. Have you noticed how many editors have been 'retiring' lately? How many seem to have problems with admins abusing the system? Inconsistent application of rules certainly isn't going to help that.
Ultimately, the decision obviously lies with you, but just try to consider this: Which is the worse evil?
Irrefutable evidence that, when two users have a conflict, one can receive far better treatment than the other, independent of their actual actions?
Or lifting a block, and giving a possibly problematic editor enough rope to hang himself, if he really is a disruptive problem?

In the articles "List of billionaires (2006)" and "List of billionaires (2007)" he reverts my addition of the Lebanese flag next to Carlos Slim Helu's name, and does it sometimes with using an IP instead of his username. Get him off my back, if you will. As much as it may bother "Emerson", Carlos Slim Helu's parents are both Lebanese, his holds the Lebanese citizenship and visits his country very often.

Hey there, I've followed this controversy from afar for awhile. Looking at Embargo's page, it appears that this version is the one that you and he compromised on?

There's others popping up now,
Proabivouac

Hi, you might remember putting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Electronics on protected last week because of the edit war I had with Youngjoon Shin. I'm hoping you could protect it again, and block Youngjoon Shin. Once again he merely deletes my comments on the Talk Page and revert the article. I suspect he is also the one leaving me insults here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Rmdsc , under the ip 221.148.48.216 since the behaviour of the two strongly correlates (log on times, articles editted etc).
I have tried understanding Wikipedia's resolve disputes policy, but it seems to me that most of the steps talking to the other side. In my case Youngjoon Shin refuses to talk to me at all, so I would appreciate it if you could take a look into it. -- Rmdsc 04:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I have responded to administrators about CBW actions. I think, it satisfiies you. I am also sure that wikipedia is not managed by Ghosts. There are some real people behind it and have some professional senstivity in their conduct. CBW must be a person and frankly I am not interested to know his/her whereabouts but I am really concerned about the way wikipedia as a public domain information hub is being managed. Dispute settlement must be at the center stage of any such activity. Try to learn from www.wto.org ;)
r u an admin? please tell me how i can get admin assitance for Last stand, there is a user there called Miskin who just undos everyone else's edits, i counted and he's undone 8-9 edits of others in the last 2-3 days...is this allowed?
Thanks for understanding my point of view. Frankly, I may not have that much time to go through all those documents which a couple of people coming to the rescue of CBW are mentioning. If there is something specific, please let me know and I am ready to make correction. For example, if anyone of you thinks that sentence 'a' to 'd' needs changes or disclosure of source or whatever, then I can do that. I am sure it will facilitate your work and improve the content on wikipedia. The bottom line is we should be part of solution than a source of conflict by pricking people with blocks and unilateral truncations and adding frivolous information. In the case of Iman Ali, I can speak to her about the whole episode.

I hope that you will be able to back up with diffs your characterization of Dbachmann as "an admin with a conflict of interest, having had many interactions with Miskin previously". If one editor has had many interactions with another editor, it does not make them either friends or enemies. I believe an admin who is informed about Miskin's pattern of behaviour is better qualified to block/unblock him than an admin who knows him by hearsay, that is, from e-mails by Miskin's opponents or from bigmouths active primarily on ANI and IRC. -- Ghirla -трёп- 06:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

However, I believe that you created this AFD after the discussion on DRV for the express purpose of letting it run its full course. Given the contentious history of this deletion, and in the interest of process, can you reopen this AFD and restore the article? As I participated in the DRV, and have voted in the AFD, I don't believe it is appropriate for me to take the actions myself. -- DropDeadGorgias ( talk) 12:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Since you engaged in a wheel war over Qian Zhijun, I have added your name to the relevant arbcom case. [23]-- Docg 14:54, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. I think your revert was actually somewhat justified, but once it got to the point where the closure had been reinstated for the 3rd time, I thought that the disruption element was more significant than what should actually be done with the debate. Oh well. That's the 3rd time we couldn't have an actual debate. I really hope Arbcom takes the case, these unilateral process-ignoring actions are harmful, and Arbcom can help put a stop to it. Mango juice talk 16:21, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm coming to this way late, but I thought your reasoning in the previous debate was about as well thought-out as it gets. It's just a shame that it got closed as quickly as it did. The admins are near the point of civil war over this (if I'm not over-hyping this). It may not be Brandt or a high-powered lawsuit that brings Wikipedia to it's knees, but an anonymous Chinese gas station attendant. DarkAudit 17:06, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
You seem to have a negative impression of IRC. Maybe you would like to participate in the admins' channel, and see for yourself how unlikely it would be for any kind of organised cabalistic action to be fomented therein? Since you're an admin, your access should be a shoe-in. — Phil | Talk 10:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I know it's become fashionable to make posts on Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents (WP:ANI) complaining about something someone has done that seems wrong, but I wonder if you'd given a thought to the dispute resolution process? Perhaps an RFC on the Crystal Gail Mangum affair would help us to get this thing sorted out. If you can define your dispute in terms of failure to comply with Wikipedia policies (and it looks to me like you can), then perhaps it's time to do that. I've also suggested this to Nardman1 and Badlydrawnjeff. -- Tony Sidaway 19:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm happy to have the deletion overturned and relisted since, as I stated earlier, the second deletion of the article was not a correct use of CSD A7. (I do believe that my first deletions were, since there was no assertion of notability--and, as anyone who has done NPP knows, articles get reposted word-for-word frequently, and thus I didn't notice the addition of a single sentence.) If you wouldn't mind closing it for me, I'd appreciate it. (I've never closed a DRV before and am certain I'd screw it up.) You can cite that the admin who originally deleted the articles found the deletion to be a violation of process and that the articles should properly go to AFD. If you don't get a chance to do this, I'll figure it out tomorrow morning. Cheers. -- Merope 00:42, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I hope this DRV can be resolved somehow. A close of 'undelete and list' is clearly incompatible with the current situation. The way, the truth, and the light 03:08, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Can you not use that new sig. Its huge, unwieldy and very hard to read. Thanks. Viridae Talk 07:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Viridae, you say "just 2 reverts each for different material". Your implication presumably is that you need 4 reverts of the same material to violate 3RR. My understanding of WP:3RR is that you can have 4 reverts of totally different material to violate 3RR. Given that this is a repeat offense, with a 24 hours block just prior, a 48 hour block would seem appropriate. If you believe that my understanding of 3RR is wrong, can you point me to where it says that the 4 reverts must be of the same material? Thanks, Crum375 14:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Viridae. As you have participated at the ANI discussion regarding the behaviour of the abovementioned user, i just wanted to let you know that I opened an RfC on themselves in response to the concerns raised during the discussion at the ANI and their avoidance to solve the issue. The RfC is located here. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 10:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I am well aware of the CSD criteria and what is and is not allowed. I used the appropriate tag and have not readded the csd template. I am now using an afd template. In the meantime, to borrow something from mr. neil, his actions and behavior were retarded and totally offensive. // Tecmobowl 10:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
So an admin can call me a lunatic and that's okay? I did not prompt this nor ask for this. If someone disagreed with my use of the template, then it can be removed. Instead of calling me "disruptive", a lunatic, or anything else, a polite message could have been left. You obviously are unfamiliar with ASSUME GOOD FAITH. Threaten me all you want, i don't care. All i care about is the information: Get it right and make it quality. Beyond that, you can have your power. If a person has played major league ball then they are by default, considered important. A person who existed, is deaf, is a baseball player, or whatever, does not make them noteworthy.

Hi, could you show me where dispute or dispute resolution is referred to or recommended for WP:HA? User:Arcayne has followed me to ALF and is making blanking reverts and oppose votes to a closed request for move without even knowing what he's reverting or voting on. This is clear harassment. Do you usually recommend dispute resolution for editors who are being harassed? I'm just asking for the behavior to stop.

No, I was NOT apologized to for being called a badgerer, and not for being called a troll, and not for his closing the discussion because he disagreed with me, and not for closing the RFCN to prevent my discussing the issue, and NOT for removing my responses to other's comment, so don't post on my user page that this happened. I was NOT apologized to. KP Botany 00:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Just drop it, you are getting nowhere. He did apologise for being called a troll, an explanation was provided for the comment removal and the discussion doesn't revolve around your opinions so he did nothing wrong in closing it when he did. The discussion is closed and will remain closed - I support chris's discretion on the matter and likely would have closed it the same way. Viridae Talk 00:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I hate to sound like a jerk, but the part of the notification was to alert to indefblock and community ban evasion via an IP address - see WP:LB for details. Therefore, shouldn't the block on the IP be permanent, or at least very long-term? Obviously, any little bit helps, but this looks a bit too close to overly lenient application of policy to me, and I'd like you to reconsider the block length. MSJapan 03:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I see that when I was blocked last month and requested unblocking, you declined ( here) stating that "the sockppuppetry alone is well worth 48 hrs". If you will look at this (copied from [ [30]], no 84) you will see that a) I had explained away the alleged sockpuppetry, b) it had already been dealt with (and no ban was felt necessary), c) after I took steps to prevent usage of my wi-fi by other user/neighbours, it stopped, and in any case d) it had happened weeks before this ban. The block log indeed does not mention sockpuppetry, so I think that you ought to have dealt only with the alleged incivility. As for this, I think I made good points, although should have made it clear I was quoting. Is there anyway to remove a block from the system after it has expired?

I'm very confused. About 4 months ago someone created a Wikipedia page about me and I was honored.
I checked it out. The Scary Guy is my legal name and that was the name used for this page about me.
I then signed up to make a few changes to make sure it was telling an accurate story.
It was deleted.
Everything on the page was real and is real about my life and who I am.
Help?
Will someone please explain to me why this action was taken?

I think it is outrageous to hound an editor until she breaks and then protect her talk page. Even an indefinitely blocked user has the right to use his talk page. There's only one of her (well, there's me; I think she goes overboard sometimes, but I, too, find ChicagoPimp an offensive user name), and there seem to be an endless supply of her opponents, all of whom seem to want to get in the last word.

Hi Viridae, I see you proptected the above page, I hope you don't mind, but I blanked most of it - it was simply a personal attack page against Chrislk02, feel free to revert me if you wish, but I really believe that the stuff that was on there isn't appropriate. All the best, Ryan Postlethwaite 15:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I did NOT ask to have my talk page blanked, and I don't appreciate that being done. It was initially NOT blanked. As Ryan has relentlessly harassed me, he has NO business touching my talk page--he is one of the people I am trying to keep away from my talk page. Good God, is there any end to haranging me in retaliation for Chris's bad judgment? KP Botany 23:33, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Those are ALL personal attacks delivered to me by your friends. I notice you couldn't be bothered to stop a single person from peronsally attacking me, then you make up any excuse you can for removing those personal attacks your friends delivered to me, while you were relentlessly harrassing me. Your little maneuvering to continue harrassing me is shameless--cut it out, get out, Viridae already protected the page exactly as I asked. If your friends don't want their personal attacks posted on my talk page, they ought not to have posted them to me, and until you actually do something about the people issuing the personal attacks instead of trying to get me to shut up about them, you're just part of the posse stalking and harrassing me. Stop talking to me, leave my talk page alone, and stop making up garbage like you "don't like to see personal attacks on talk page" when you were fine with all of your friends delivering their personal attacks to me on my talk page, on their talk pages, on AN/I and on RFCN.
You're what I was trying to block from my talk page, and you know it. Don't answer me here or anywhere, leave my talk page alone.

Hi, I noticed your edit here with the edit summary "Yeah not leaving that in".
It puzzled me somewhat. Here are some questions:
Do you know which body is charged with resolving disputes and issues of conduct o Wikipedia?
Are you familiar with the arbitration case Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Badlydrawnjeff ?
Have you noticed the so-far unanimous endorsement (6-0-0) of proposed principle 4, titled "Summary deletion of BLPs", of that case? [35]
The reason I ask these questions is because it seems to me that, if you know the answers and have studied the proposed principle, you know that anyone who fails to follow the instructions that you have chosen to remove from the BLP would probably find himself sanctioned by the arbitration committee.
In these circumstances, why would you wish to mislead your fellow administrators? -- Tony Sidaway 02:48, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Please help.
I am really, really sorry to bother you, but I am feeling a bit stuck and hoping you can help.
I created a page for Barbara Coll about six months ago that was recently deleted and I am curious why.
When I first created the page, I spent a lot of time putting it together to ensure it included relevant and reliable sources like NYT, Business Week etc., as well as contributions Coll had made to her industry (SEO/SEM) over time, thinking I was doing the right thing. A user (Cambridge Bay Weather) was brilliant with help, however another user (Jehochman)found much fault and asked for the page to be removed. After contacting Jehochman, and given he has been much more experience with Wikipedia than I, I deferred to his better judgement and really cut the majority of content out.
Since then, I have been afraid to add anything to the page, worried he may ask for its deletion if I did.
However, recently I have noticed he has again asked for its removal, this time I didn't notice until it was too late. However, his reasons this time are that I have not included enough content.
This has me absolutely confused (and cranky sorry ;)and I am hoping you can offer some advice.
One thing that does bother me is after reading Jehochman's talk page, I realized he works in the same industry as does Coll, and I wonder whether it is fair that he has the right to ask for the deletion of a page where it seems to be such a conflict of interest.
If (and when) you have time :) please advise me; I wish to do the right thing, and not upset anyone but truly believe the page should be reinstated.
Many thanks

I have evidence he was logging on under some other ip 58.8 and had some of his friends join in on the "fun" He was warned not to revert many times in the past. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rocky_Marciano#Third_opinion Most of the info is here. Boxingwear
Right, i agree, but you have to look at the broader picture, on talk, right now, people agree with me, i also requested protection from mkil above, did you read that... i mean, wow. On a different subject... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gwernol#Complaint This user deleted the lineal champions, we need to recreate it, reasons are given above and there are other people who agree with me, i can not believe why good articles are killed on wiki, bad remain...Boxingwear
If you'll look at the Marciano page, BoxingWear was told in no uncertain terms by another editor that my edits were not "vandalism." I requested a third party opinion that resulted in a strong chastisement of BoxingWear. He/She continues to assert that my edits are "vandalism" and that I log on under different IP addresses (which is false -- I welcome any attempts to trace IPs to see the truth of this). BoxingWear continues to attack me and refuses to recognize my good faith edits as legitimate. MKil 04:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)MKil
What is the code to put things into archive, to merge or rename article or to put music or square on my talk page. Boxingwear Is there any way you administrators can find out if some other user has been using different ip, in order not to reveal who he is like mkil?Boxingwear
Last spring I was looking at the group, The Residents, listing and found it full of mistakes and suppositions. I made extensive corrections which as manager and historian of the group seemed a rightful responsibility. Acutally I am the only authority for this subject as I also oversee www.residents.com. I am even named in the article as a participant in the group. I made all the changes under my real name as I was not playing games. I just discovered that back in June all my corrections reverted back to the errors and I was branded a "vandal" for removing other people's erronous speculations where it seems to me the person who revereted the material back to the errors is the vandal. I had a message from you from June that I am now resonding to claiming this. Maybe it was you who vandalized my corrections. I don't know since I am not a power user.
Anyway, I do not monitor The Residents page nor will I start doing so, but do wish that the term vandal was not generously handed out to us authorized individuals. Meanwhile, the Wikipedia page for The Residents remains flawed and by naming me a vandal I guess it will stay that way. I do not understand allowing the ignorant to freely speculate on Wikipedia while blocking the knowledgable from correcting data.

Could you help me please? I have received my first warning on Wikipedia (I think from you). Last October there was vigorous debate regarding a quote from Germaine Greer inserted on Irwin's page. After this debate it was edited out and it remained that way for a couple of months until one person inserted it again. Based on previous discussion I and others deleted repeated attempts to insert it again. We suggested that this person read the archives – it seemed to me this person had not read the discussion. The last suggestion to this person was to discuss it before reinserting it. There has been extensive discussion and (at the risk of only presenting my side) all but two people did not want it reinserted for many good reasons. I am confused as to why the person making an insertion in these circumstances gets protection whilst another who removes this with the consent of the discusscion page gets blocked. What should I do. It seems unconscionable to permit this insertion. Alan Davidson 12:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC) I have now noticed you warned both of us. That does seem fairer. Many thanks.

You userpage is now fully protected because you have continually reinserted the content in violation of policy.

Hi, and congrats on your promotion! Per this discussion, I'm dropping a friendly note to some of the recently-promoted admins requesting help with speedy deletions. I am not an administrator, so if you don't feel comfortable diving into deletions - or if you need more info - please don't come to me, but I'm sure that Cyde Weys would be happy to guide you if you want to help. Any help is great, but I'm sure that Cyde and others would deeply appreciate it if you could put the page on your watchlist and do a bit of work there on a regular basis? Maybe weekly?

AFAIK, this is disruptive behaviour.
I asked for all the comments (and my original text, rebutting Drini´s defamation against me) to be reposted again [2], and Drini deleted my petition and posted new defamatory (i.e., false) stuff against me [3].
I was receiving good ideas about what to do from other administrators until Drini came and started posting factually false nonsense [4] about me (as Drini recognized [5]). Drini was called to enter the fray from the Spanish Wikipedia [6].
I think that this Drini´s behaviour is outrageous, and I ask you for help. What can I do?.
Randroide 11:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, the situation is not so bad as I thought (albeit is neither a good one).
Drini pasted the whole discussion in a different linked page [7].
I missed that pasting. I thought the text was deleted.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Nonetheless, any comment?.

Hi, you removed an ip that I re-requested at the admin intervention page. Rather than reporting the same IP for the third time, and risking being regarded as a vandal myself, I just wanted to bring it to your attention that new vandal edits came from this ip.

Viridae, I came across Dora Nichov ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)'s unblock request and would like to talk to you about potentially shortening the block from indefinite. From what I can tell the user has gotten annoyed and made some silly comments to IPs: 'I'm warning you..., You know, I hate vandals..., 'Didn't I tell you to stop!?, 'LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I tell you to stop -- STOP!, If I could, I WILL ban you! Or do anything so you will be banned!. More importantly, the editor made two comments containing the phrase "I'll kill you". I don't want to minimize the significance of such comments, but I do think that, in context, even the target wouldn't take them as serious death threats: test1|Dora Nichov Plus I'll kill you if you vandalize my userpage again., and Stupid vandal, I'll kill you the way I kill moose!. Certainly, such comments display horrible judgment, are absolutely not acceptable, and warrant a long block. That said, I don't see how this is either a personal attack placing another user in danger or a pattern of persistent personal attacks (the two applicable situations warranting an indefinite block that I see in WP:BLOCK). Finally, given the editor's history of positive contributions, an indefinite block probably has the net effect of doing more harm than good to Wikipedia. I would instead suggest shortening the block to two months. In light of the serious reasons behind the block, I feel I need your consent or acquiesence rather than reducing the block myself. Thank you for your consideration.-- Kchase T 10:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

(I did not edit anything about Steve Erwin...) Hi! I got "spanked" a little for editing away the statement on the Wikipedia page on David Icke which stated "as an indisputable fact" (that's the impression) that The Protocols Of The Elders of Zion is "an Anti-Semitic Hoax". This has not been proven to be the case in any way and is simply a subjective statement, of course also adding to the "Anti-Semitic allegations" against Mr. Icke that are really quite ridiculous. I have read several of his books and I have not seen any statement by Icke condemning the Semitic race. (definiton of Anti-Semitism). He HAS on the other hand condemned Zionism many times. Something that also many Jews have condemned. Anyway.... Icke's message is a message about waking up to the Truth (opening one's eyes) and questioning consensus reality. And what the Wikipedia page hardly mentions at all; he documents thoroughly through his writings and lectures the criminal and unconscientous activities of the most powerful individuals and corporations on the planet. Whether they be reptilians or not. But "Anti-Semitism" and "Right-wing" something-something is what catches the eye of the reader. And this is certainly very far from "objective". greetings, Bjorn —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bjornyvan ( talk • contribs) 19:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

Hi Viridae,
firstly thanks for taking the protection off the page. I don't really appreciate your comment "Lets see if people can behave" but hey this is the Internet and communication works in different ways...
Anyways, onto the topic in question... there is a constant 'dark cloud' hanging over the Cave Clan wikipedia page, that is a person who (amongst creating different usernames that are really the one person, him) was once an accessory of the CC (I don't think he was ever a member...) but is now vehement in his revenge on us, and an integral part of this is defaming us here because Wikipedia is for some people the first reference for info on some things. I'm not sure of his reasonings but he loves to paint us in a bad light - see his web links http://www.urbanadventure.org/main/stuff/ildraino/caveclan.htm and http://www.urbanadventure.org/main/stuff/ildraino/wikipedia.htm.
I don't know if you've read through the blab in the talk page on CC wiki but he has used a lot of different usernames to put forward his posts. His aliases are: hibou, UrbanExplorer, Raresaturn (recent creation), Panic!, Gunny... anyway I think you get my gist (I've listed them on the Talk page too). All the posts read in a similar vein, I hope you can notice that.
Just wondering; is there any way to check on IP addresses of the posts that have been made by the above and any users onto the Talk page? I would like to know what ones are associated with all the users who have made posts. Also this would ascertain the above statement further.
Finally... I was wondering (have talked with other CC people about this too) if you'd like to meet us, Cave Clan, to get a gauge of who we are and what we are about ('larrikinism' is something that can be as close as it gets to explaining our whole character). You can email info@caveclan.org for... more info, or browse www.caveclan.org for more (endorsed?) info. Thinking this would give you, a wikipedia admin person, a better idea of who we are, what we do, how we are organised etc. This is to support a definite NPOV being described on the CC wiki page e.g. homophobia, KKK comments removed permanently (as if we'd allow people like this to join or be associated with us...)
Anyways (final one) I hope you can understand what I'm saying above, overall that the CC wants a 'NPOV' cemented for its description here, Because at the moment some of it is, to put it simply, 'shit'.

Hello, I noticed that you removed the request for Admin. intervention regarding the IP addresses 64.179.53.224 and 80.188.72.172. For the first you stated, "no recent warnings," although the last warning was less than a month ago (February 22, 2007) and his user page consists entirely of vandalism warnings and blocks. For the second you stated "no recent vandalism" although the incident I reported took place only a couple days ago (March 6th). This user's talk page also consists only of warnings about vandalism. Can you please specify for me what the time limit involved in reporting vandals amounts to (e.g., is there a policy regarding recency of activity or warnings). This would prevent me from providing spurious reports. In this case, however, I don't see that these two IP addresses have done anything but vandalize Wikipedia, so I hope this matter can be given some attention. Thank you. ◄ Zahakiel ► 03:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I notice that you've interpreted the result of the AfD on double posting as "merge and delete", and I figured I should point out that actually going through with this (merging the material and then deleting the page it came from) is probably illegal under the GFDL. Section 4 B of the GFDL requires that modified versions of a document must include a list of five of the primary authors of the original version and in Wikipedia this requirement is met via the article histories. A merge without a copy of the article history being preserved somewhere on Wikipedia would therefore be unlicenced, and a copyvio. I'm moving the double posting article back to its original location, merging it, and then turning it into a redirect; as far as I'm aware this is the proper way to preserve article history in this situation. Bryan Derksen 04:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, sir, I took Twasnow's advice and changed it from "This user supports armed resistance to Israeli hostilities" to "this user supports resistance to hostilities". Now someone else, replaced it from "This user supports resistance to hostilities" to "This user supports resistance to Israeli hostilties" because he thought I had every right to keep, since other people can express whatever views they have. "This user supports cats to dog hostilities" should dog hostilities occur is acceptable. Now every one has witnessed Israel's last war, and we can all agree Israel is a disgusting murderous state. I can see you try your best to provoke me, thankfully till now it hasn't worked. Good thing not every one on wikipedia is biased against Arabs and Muslims. You are asked to leave me alone, or remove every single political userbox on Wikipedia. Regards. Emбargo 00:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, "This user supports resistance to hostilities" was accepted by everyone. The link to massacres was always there. Your racism and flagrant bias makes me sick. Another user thought I had the right to add Israeli to hostilities because everyone on Wikipedia expresses his/her political views. You know I'm right, you just decided to protect my userpages under false pretext. Another attempt to provoke an Arab into getting blocked. Unprotect my userpage or delete every political userbox on Wikipedia. You are abusing your administator rights. Racism and flagrant bias could have very serious consequences. Avoid double-standards and unprotect my userpage. Emбargo 00:48, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, where in WP:USER does it say I don't have the right to have that userbox? I think "Hezbollah=Murder Inc." is attacking someone. Supporting Lebanese resistance to Israeli hostilities or Canadian to American hostilities, should they occur, is not attacking someone. But I guess you know that, you're just too racist and biased to accept it. Emбargo 00:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
“ | libelling people on userpages is a bad idea, and in fact, using userpages to attack people or campaign for or against anything or anyone is a bad idea | ” |
Oh and you are quite welcome to continue to console yourself with the thought that you are being picked on because you are an Abrab. I really don't care what nationality or upbringing you come from. That userbox is nothing more than political soapboxing and as such is not welcome on wikipedia. Viridae Talk 01:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I was looking for an answer to my request, no for you to comment on the few words I wrtoe in the end. Another way of getting out of it. You are asked to unprotect my userpage. Again, your flagrant bias and racism is quite obvious. Reply, if you will, to what I said earlier. Again, either you leave me be or you delete every userbox expressing support to anything. God you people make me sick. I hope your next reply isn't a comment on "God you people make me sick".

Also, this is a short list of users who have userboxes expressing support of Israel. User:Snickerdo User:Kmweber User:Dana I am allowed to show support for resistance when Israel is hostile, as it was when it attacked last summer and destoryed my home. You people just do not want to accept the fact that Israel hated by most people. Showing support for resistance isn't hostile, is it? What the movement resists is what is hostile. I think 60 years ago, you would have allowed the French to express support of resistance to Nazi hostilities. Emбargo 01:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Huh. To think you'd have something else to do beside going through my contributions. Thankfully, I do not have as much time to contribute to Wikipedia and I'm not willing to discuss this any further. I assume you have seen my correspondants' userpages? I am willing to reinstate the usebox that hasn't received any complaints and that an admin proposed, by removing the 'Israeli' part, so that it reads "This user supports armed resistance to hostilities.". It is not in violation of policy, nor does it offend anyone. This is a good gesture, and I await your reply. Emбargo 03:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't think so. I think you know I have the right to keep it, and you know this formulation has been agreed on, and the link to massacres has always been there. You're just abusing your rights as an admin, and abusing my act of good gesture by removing what disturbed people about this userbox. Israel does commit massacres, and massacres are to be responded wth resistance. I removed the Israeli part so that no one is offended. Should you decide not to unprotect my userbox, I will discuss this with another admin. Emбargo 13:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

This ip has edited many pages of which you have issued him a warning for one and today edited the Wikipedia Admins entry. I issued him a warning at which point he accused me of harassment and lied about being friends with an administrator which turned out to be untrue when the person mentioned came forward. This can all be found on my user discussion page. Can something permenant be done about this? I don't enjoy being accused of harrasment because I tried to edit a vandilised article! -- Rboxer 10:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I like how you enforce the blanking of my thread by protecting the page. I made it clear in the now-blanked thread, that I was not "soapboxing", but simply expressing my views on the talk page, as the nom had been pulled by the time I was able to get back to the RfA to discuss. That the four of you chose to tag-team me, and then protect the page to enforce your edits is against all that Wikipedia supposedly stands for. K. Scott Bailey 06:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello.
I'd like you to reconsider your block of Certified.Gangsta.
Please look
here.
It isn't that I'm lovey-dovey with gangsta. (frankly, I know little of him and don't even care)
However, I'm very much concerned with how rules are applied, especially in related cases.
Case in point:
CG really should have simply received a 3rr warning. At least that would've conveyed the same sense of "you're on the edge, but you get a reprieve" that Ideogram got.
More importantly, when two editors are at odds with eachother, admins treating one demonstrably better than the other really sends a bad message. Consistency and fairness are necessary if anyone is to take the position of 'admin' seriously. Have you noticed how many editors have been 'retiring' lately? How many seem to have problems with admins abusing the system? Inconsistent application of rules certainly isn't going to help that.
Ultimately, the decision obviously lies with you, but just try to consider this: Which is the worse evil?
Irrefutable evidence that, when two users have a conflict, one can receive far better treatment than the other, independent of their actual actions?
Or lifting a block, and giving a possibly problematic editor enough rope to hang himself, if he really is a disruptive problem?

Hello Viridae. I think you should help me with this user who has been reverting everything I do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/216.30.182.60 He has reverted one of my edits in the article List of billionaires 2007. The IP should be blocked. Emбargo 17:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I seek administrator assistance. User:Emerson7 monitors my edits and reverts them whevener he feels like it. In the articles "List of billionaires (2006)" and "List of billionaires (2007)" he reverts my addition of the Lebanese flag next to Carlos Slim Helu's name, and does it sometimes with using an IP instead of his username. Get him off my back, if you will. As much as it may bother "Emerson", Carlos Slim Helu's parents are both Lebanese, his holds the Lebanese citizenship and visits his country very often.

Hi, I was wondering why you cited "no recent warnings" when you removed 68.161.68.171 from the noticeboard - the anon had received an "only warning" for extensive vandalism on March 21, but still persisted in inserting deliberate errors.

Hi, you might remember putting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Electronics on protected last week because of the edit war I had with Youngjoon Shin. I'm hoping you could protect it again, and block Youngjoon Shin. Once again he merely deletes my comments on the Talk Page and revert the article. I suspect he is also the one leaving me insults here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Rmdsc , under the ip 221.148.48.216 since the behaviour of the two strongly correlates (log on times, articles editted etc).
I have tried understanding Wikipedia's resolve disputes policy, but it seems to me that most of the steps talking to the other side. In my case Youngjoon Shin refuses to talk to me at all, so I would appreciate it if you could take a look into it. -- Rmdsc 04:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I have responded to administrators about CBW actions. I think, it satisfiies you. I am also sure that wikipedia is not managed by Ghosts. There are some real people behind it and have some professional senstivity in their conduct. CBW must be a person and frankly I am not interested to know his/her whereabouts but I am really concerned about the way wikipedia as a public domain information hub is being managed. Dispute settlement must be at the center stage of any such activity. Try to learn from www.wto.org ;)
r u an admin? please tell me how i can get admin assitance for Last stand, there is a user there called Miskin who just undos everyone else's edits, i counted and he's undone 8-9 edits of others in the last 2-3 days...is this allowed?
Thanks for understanding my point of view. Frankly, I may not have that much time to go through all those documents which a couple of people coming to the rescue of CBW are mentioning. If there is something specific, please let me know and I am ready to make correction. For example, if anyone of you thinks that sentence 'a' to 'd' needs changes or disclosure of source or whatever, then I can do that. I am sure it will facilitate your work and improve the content on wikipedia. The bottom line is we should be part of solution than a source of conflict by pricking people with blocks and unilateral truncations and adding frivolous information. In the case of Iman Ali, I can speak to her about the whole episode.

I hope that you will be able to back up with diffs your characterization of Dbachmann as "an admin with a conflict of interest, having had many interactions with Miskin previously". If one editor has had many interactions with another editor, it does not make them either friends or enemies. I believe an admin who is informed about Miskin's pattern of behaviour is better qualified to block/unblock him than an admin who knows him by hearsay, that is, from e-mails by Miskin's opponents or from bigmouths active primarily on ANI and IRC. -- Ghirla -трёп- 06:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Nick has closed the AFD for Qian Zhijun based on the two previous AFDs. However, I believe that you created this AFD after the discussion on DRV for the express purpose of letting it run its full course. Given the contentious history of this deletion, and in the interest of process, can you reopen this AFD and restore the article? As I participated in the DRV, and have voted in the AFD, I don't believe it is appropriate for me to take the actions myself. -- DropDeadGorgias ( talk) 12:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I think your revert was actually somewhat justified, but once it got to the point where the closure had been reinstated for the 3rd time, I thought that the disruption element was more significant than what should actually be done with the debate. Oh well. That's the 3rd time we couldn't have an actual debate. I really hope Arbcom takes the case, these unilateral process-ignoring actions are harmful, and Arbcom can help put a stop to it. Mango juice talk 16:21, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm coming to this way late, but I thought your reasoning in the previous debate was about as well thought-out as it gets. It's just a shame that it got closed as quickly as it did. The admins are near the point of civil war over this (if I'm not over-hyping this). It may not be Brandt or a high-powered lawsuit that brings Wikipedia to it's knees, but an anonymous Chinese gas station attendant. DarkAudit 17:06, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
You seem to have a negative impression of IRC. Maybe you would like to participate in the admins' channel, and see for yourself how unlikely it would be for any kind of organised cabalistic action to be fomented therein?

I know it's become fashionable to make posts on Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents (WP:ANI) complaining about something someone has done that seems wrong, but I wonder if you'd given a thought to the dispute resolution process? Perhaps an RFC on the Crystal Gail Mangum affair would help us to get this thing sorted out. If you can define your dispute in terms of failure to comply with Wikipedia policies (and it looks to me like you can), then perhaps it's time to do that. I've also suggested this to Nardman1 and Badlydrawnjeff. -- Tony Sidaway 19:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm happy to have the deletion overturned and relisted since, as I stated earlier, the second deletion of the article was not a correct use of CSD A7. (I do believe that my first deletions were, since there was no assertion of notability--and, as anyone who has done NPP knows, articles get reposted word-for-word frequently, and thus I didn't notice the addition of a single sentence.) If you wouldn't mind closing it for me, I'd appreciate it. (I've never closed a DRV before and am certain I'd screw it up.) You can cite that the admin who originally deleted the articles found the deletion to be a violation of process and that the articles should properly go to AFD. If you don't get a chance to do this, I'll figure it out tomorrow morning. Cheers. -- Merope 00:42, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Viridae, you say "just 2 reverts each for different material". Your implication presumably is that you need 4 reverts of the same material to violate 3RR. My understanding of WP:3RR is that you can have 4 reverts of totally different material to violate 3RR. Given that this is a repeat offense, with a 24 hours block just prior, a 48 hour block would seem appropriate. If you believe that my understanding of 3RR is wrong, can you point me to where it says that the 4 reverts must be of the same material? Thanks, Crum375 14:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Viridae. As you have participated at the ANI discussion regarding the behaviour of the abovementioned user, i just wanted to let you know that I opened an RfC on themselves in response to the concerns raised during the discussion at the ANI and their avoidance to solve the issue. The RfC is located here. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 10:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

So an admin can call me a lunatic and that's okay? I did not prompt this nor ask for this. If someone disagreed with my use of the template, then it can be removed. Instead of calling me "disruptive", a lunatic, or anything else, a polite message could have been left. You obviously are unfamiliar with ASSUME GOOD FAITH. Threaten me all you want, i don't care. All i care about is the information: Get it right and make it quality. Beyond that, you can have your power. If a person has played major league ball then they are by default, considered important. A person who existed, is deaf, is a baseball player, or whatever, does not make them noteworthy. Look at the articles i have enhanced and created..... then tell me i don't know what i'm doing. // Tecmobowl 10:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, could you show me where dispute or dispute resolution is referred to or recommended for WP:HA? User:Arcayne has followed me to ALF and is making blanking reverts and oppose votes to a closed request for move without even knowing what he's reverting or voting on. This is clear harassment. Do you usually recommend dispute resolution for editors who are being harassed? I'm just asking for the behavior to stop. And since you've commented about my user name several times, I've had it since 2004. Thanks. — Viriditas | Talk 11:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
This person has used socks to disrupt Lucille Ball see this, registered with a name, reverted the article again, and was indef. blocked. The evidence is clearly shown, because her IP location matches her username. If the user vandalizes the article one more time with "Lucy is still alive," I will submit this case to WP:ANI for him/her to be blocked indef. Miranda 02:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
(reduce indent) The user has done it again, only this time with a sock. Please block both accounts indef., since they are WP:SPA. Miranda 01:39, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
And Chris just kept calling me names, telling me he closed it because I would be badgering people by talking too much (100 to 10). Completely 100% abusive of administrative powers. Enough of Wikipedia. KP Botany 23:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
No, I was NOT apologized to for being called a badgerer, and not for being called a troll, and not for his closing the discussion because he disagreed with me, and not for closing the RFCN to prevent my discussing the issue, and NOT for removing my responses to other's comment, so don't post on my user page that this happened. I was NOT apologized to. KP Botany 00:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Just drop it, you are getting nowhere. He did apologise for being called a troll, an explanation was provided for the comment removal and the discussion doesn't revolve around your opinions so he did nothing wrong in closing it when he did. The discussion is closed and will remain closed - I support chris's discretion on the matter and likely would have closed it the same way. Viridae Talk 00:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I hate to sound like a jerk, but the part of the notification was to alert to indefblock and community ban evasion via an IP address - see WP:LB for details. Therefore, shouldn't the block on the IP be permanent, or at least very long-term? Obviously, any little bit helps, but this looks a bit too close to overly lenient application of policy to me, and I'd like you to reconsider the block length. MSJapan 03:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I see that when I was blocked last month and requested unblocking, you declined ( here) stating that "the sockppuppetry alone is well worth 48 hrs". If you will look at this (copied from [ [30]], no 84) you will see that a) I had explained away the alleged sockpuppetry, b) it had already been dealt with (and no ban was felt necessary), c) after I took steps to prevent usage of my wi-fi by other user/neighbours, it stopped, and in any case d) it had happened weeks before this ban. The block log indeed does not mention sockpuppetry, so I think that you ought to have dealt only with the alleged incivility. As for this, I think I made good points, although should have made it clear I was quoting. Is there anyway to remove a block from the system after it has expired?

Hello,
I'm very confused. About 4 months ago someone created a Wikipedia page about me and I was honored.
I checked it out. The Scary Guy is my legal name and that was the name used for this page about me.
I then signed up to make a few changes to make sure it was telling an accurate story.
It was deleted.
Everything on the page was real and is real about my life and who I am.
Help?
Will someone please explain to me why this action was taken?
thank you, Scary11:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)11:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)11:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)~
* Is this a hoax? Someone verify this. If you are serious, I don't know. But maybe, it seemed like a hoax to someone.
Not a hoax, it was deleted as a self promotion article. ViridaeTalk 12:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
How could it be a self promotion article if it was completely factual about me and my life??? Thank you, ScaryThescary1 12:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. I'm very new at all this and I will share the WP:BIO guidlines with the people that created it. Scary Thescary1 12:45, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I think it is outrageous to hound an editor until she breaks and then protect her talk page. Even an indefinitely blocked user has the right to use his talk page. There's only one of her (well, there's me; I think she goes overboard sometimes, but I, too, find ChicagoPimp an offensive user name), and there seem to be an endless supply of her opponents, all of whom seem to want to get in the last word. Let it go.--

Hi Viridae, I see you proptected the above page, I hope you don't mind, but I blanked most of it - it was simply a personal attack page against Chrislk02, feel free to revert me if you wish, but I really believe that the stuff that was on there isn't appropriate. All the best, Ryan Postlethwaite 15:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I did NOT ask to have my talk page blanked, and I don't appreciate that being done. It was initially NOT blanked. As Ryan has relentlessly harassed me, he has NO business touching my talk page--he is one of the people I am trying to keep away from my talk page. Good God, is there any end to haranging me in retaliation for Chris's bad judgment? KP Botany 23:33, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Those are ALL personal attacks delivered to me by your friends. I notice you couldn't be bothered to stop a single person from peronsally attacking me, then you make up any excuse you can for removing those personal attacks your friends delivered to me, while you were relentlessly harrassing me. Your little maneuvering to continue harrassing me is shameless--cut it out, get out, Viridae already protected the page exactly as I asked. If your friends don't want their personal attacks posted on my talk page, they ought not to have posted them to me, and until you actually do something about the people issuing the personal attacks instead of trying to get me to shut up about them, you're just part of the posse stalking and harrassing me. Stop talking to me, leave my talk page alone, and stop making up garbage like you "don't like to see personal attacks on talk page" when you were fine with all of your friends delivering their personal attacks to me on my talk page, on their talk pages, on AN/I and on RFCN.
You're what I was trying to block from my talk page, and you know it. Don't answer me here or anywhere, leave my talk page alone.
KP Botany 23:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm back. I have some questions. First, how do you delete an image or and article from Wikipedia? Also, why haven't you answered my last new (you haven't seen it) question on "Please". I moved it to the top so you could see it. And. (kind of a strange question) Are you a boy or a girl?

Dell Schanze has edited his blog once again, this time making a threat to the Wikipedia in regards to wikipedia Entry. You can review it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Dell_Schanze&diff=138708690&oldid=131747087
The ip address is guranteed to be Dell Schanze himself, as reviewing his other Edits will clearly detail. I highly recommend this issue be escalated, but I'm not sure how threats against the wikipedia organization are dealt with (Via ban or other means). Please review if you'd like. I apologize if this is not the appropriate method for escalation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.138.65.1 ( talk • contribs)
I see you blocked User:71.30.203.14 recently. He is User:Sonicrules2. [34] – Gunslinger47 18:54, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed your edit here with the edit summary "Yeah not leaving that in".
It puzzled me somewhat. Here are some questions:
Do you know which body is charged with resolving disputes and issues of conduct o Wikipedia?
Are you familiar with the arbitration case Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Badlydrawnjeff ?
Have you noticed the so-far unanimous endorsement (6-0-0) of proposed principle 4, titled "Summary deletion of BLPs", of that case? [35]
The reason I ask these questions is because it seems to me that, if you know the answers and have studied the proposed principle, you know that anyone who fails to follow the instructions that you have chosen to remove from the BLP would probably find himself sanctioned by the arbitration committee.
In these circumstances, why would you wish to mislead your fellow administrators? -- Tony Sidaway 02:48, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey! It's been some time and I have 3 comments so by saving space, I guess, I put all of my comments together
I noticed your tip of the day and I've got another way to enlarge the reading text on your computer... I think this is accessible on all computers...if you go to View and then go to Text Size and take your pic between (from up to down):
I hope that if you try it it will work because it should
Also I've noticed you get... ALOT of comments and I only get like 1 a month :0
Do you ever watch SpongeBob SquarePants. If you do in the episode Fry Cook Games spongebob has the Japanese symbol (The one on the Japan flag) on his shirt so either this was a coincidence, spongebob loves Japan, or the fry cook games take place in or near Japan.

Hi
Please help.
I am really, really sorry to bother you, but I am feeling a bit stuck and hoping you can help.
I created a page for Barbara Coll about six months ago that was recently deleted and I am curious why.
When I first created the page, I spent a lot of time putting it together to ensure it included relevant and reliable sources like NYT, Business Week etc., as well as contributions Coll had made to her industry (SEO/SEM) over time, thinking I was doing the right thing. A user (Cambridge Bay Weather) was brilliant with help, however another user (Jehochman)found much fault and asked for the page to be removed. After contacting Jehochman, and given he has been much more experience with Wikipedia than I, I deferred to his better judgement and really cut the majority of content out.
Since then, I have been afraid to add anything to the page, worried he may ask for its deletion if I did.
However, recently I have noticed he has again asked for its removal, this time I didn't notice until it was too late. However, his reasons this time are that I have not included enough content.
This has me absolutely confused (and cranky sorry ;)and I am hoping you can offer some advice.
One thing that does bother me is after reading Jehochman's talk page, I realized he works in the same industry as does Coll, and I wonder whether it is fair that he has the right to ask for the deletion of a page where it seems to be such a conflict of interest.
If (and when) you have time :) please advise me; I wish to do the right thing, and not upset anyone but truly believe the page should be reinstated.
Many thanks
