I just created my first page. Or, I would have done, had that page not already existed and I hadn't noticed. D'oh! Regardless, I thought you might want to have a look, see how I did (and then hit me with a trout for messing up): here it is and here is the talk page I would have created. Here is the actual page. I like mine better (and I'm totally not biased). -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 12:26, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Hey Xeno, I just answered a question on your talk page, do I qualify as one of your ~250 talk page stalkers? If so, where do I collect my medal? :) On a completely unrelated note, regarding your username: I like Orson Scott Card's fiction too, but recently found out (partially through Wikipedia, heh) about his stance on same-sex marriage, which annoys me and made me lose some respect for the guy. What do you think?
Thejadefalcon: Yeah, I too look forward to Molyneux's next crazy idea. Looking through your user page, it looks like we have many similar interests (I'm on fanfiction.net too, same username as here). Re: the mini-discussion I started on L4D2's talk page, I don't want to turn it into a forum thread, so I hope Xeno won't mind me continuing here. What I was wondering about was the reaction of Australian boycotters. They boycott a game in rage, then suddenly everyone else can't buy it anyway, making their boycott kinda moot. Pretty ironic turn of events I'd say. BlazerKnight ( talk) 11:29, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Sorry I missed you RfB, I would totally supported that! I wish they would allow cavassing. But then again I am radical! haha!
I think that we can go ahead and try to auto assess WP:INDIANA article with Xenobot whenever you feel up to it. I do have a couple question, it looks like you use one or more assessments from other articles to determine the assessment your bot will make. I would like to only take an assessment if at least two projects have already rated it. If, for example, Project A assessess as stub and Project B assesses as Start, will you apply a Start, Stub, or no class to the article? (Stubwould seem like the correct awnser to me)
Also, is there a paremeter you will add to the project template that will cause it to go into a category or inform the viewer that it was assessed automtatically? User:Betacommandbot (RIP) used to do something like this as I recall, but hunting through the difs I can't find it. So maybe I imagined it. I know it at least put a note on the talk page. If no such paremeter exists, could the bot at minimum add a category on the talk pages where you make an assessment. Something like Category:Auto assessed Indiana articles? I just think that at some point it will be benficial for humans eyes to manually check things, and also to make sure the reader knows it is an auto assessment.
No hurry on anything, and if you are busy I totally understand. Thanks Xeno! — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 14:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello again. Reywas hasn't responded, so I would say go ahead with the tagging of quality and importance. I think less than half the articles you tag will be able to take a default importance anyway, and in those cases the importance is pretty well clear cut. I personally don't care one way or the other, anything that cuts down on manual work is good though in my book. :) — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 12:18, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Why was this issue tagged as resolved, when the bot continues to add BLP articles to this porn log? Not every wikipedia user or wikipedia reader understands what a bot is, or is acquainted with the the functions of a bot. The message left behind in the mind of the casual wikipedia user who clicks on the "What links here" link, and sees the AlexNewArtBot/PornFeedNameLog entry in the list, is that somehow the subject of the BLP article is connected to porn. Rlevse has asked the owner of the bot to fix the issue, but evidently this hasn't been done, as this bot continues to add non-pornographic articles into this porn-log list. Could you pls look into this issue? For this purpose, to stop this bot from including non-pornographic articles into the porn-log-list I have brought up the issue to WP:ANI - but the issue was closed without the the issue being solved properly. Your admin help is needed here please. Thanks. Amsaim ( talk) 23:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Could you please block User:Guitarherochristopher? He's been warned more than enough times to stop using his userpage as a blog.

It is allowed. It's discouraged, but allowed. Besides, I am also fixing disambiguations too. This is especially annoying when I am fixing a spelling error or name of a game to the correct name. That is called proofreading.
Since you seem to object to fixing redirects so much, go take a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional Wrestling, where some users keep going around changing links from [[ECW on Syfy]] and [[ECW on Sci Fi]] to [[ECW (WWE)|ECW]]).

Hi Xeno, I do this when an article is undergoing an extensive rewrite, for FAC for example. References get moved around as the text does, and sometimes disappear entirely. This triggers a bot arriving to fix them (i.e. to fix the ref name=x, where x has been removed). This means I get edit conflicts when I go back myself to fix the next part, so I leave the nobots template on for the duration of that work. SlimVirgin talk| contribs 15:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I put up citation needed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#Pros_and_cons in the first bullet point itself. I know there is a citation note at the very top but I have query with the viewing of citation needed link. It doesn't look as Citation needed even though it is in superscript is taking space and looks ugly . I have seen other people using superscript and using citation needed but it doesn't break the flow of the sentence (means there is no space between the sentence and citation needed seems to hang over it ) .
To make it understood explicitly I don't like the space I have wasted between 'address space' and 'leaving only 2 to 3 GB' . Is there a way to make it go away and still have citation needed hanging over ? Shirishag75 ( talk) 04:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

There was a bit of an issue with Off2riorob about some categories. I have a feeling that I was at fault, but I can't get rid of the idea that he is watching whatever pages I have edited. I got this idea after another editor came along and reverted an edit on a page that I didn't touch because I didn't want to escalate things. What also concerns me is that he immediately went to that editor and became friendly with them. This strikes me as odd, as I don't usually think of anyone doing this unless they want a new friend or someone to support them. While looking around, I noticed that Off2riorob was previously blocked, so I'm wondering if there are any hints of any prior behaviors now occuring. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 19:36, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
It now seems as if he is monitoring my edits. He just asked me today why I marked something as minor, even after I told him that I set my settings to mark these things for me. I just responded to him, and I also told him to stop, or I would report him. I know this might not seem like harassment, but after what has happened yesterday, I am taking no chances. Any ideas?

We have agreement that all wp:CHI categories are to be in CHIBOTCATS. Since all CHI categories are going to be within CHIBOTCATS and all categories are already members of Category:Category-Class Chicago articles, do we need to manually update CHIBOTCATS or can the bot get all the members of CHIBOTCATS from the category list in Category:Category-Class Chicago articles?

I would like to note here that at no time did I claim the page referred to was a finished work. Some of the detail does come across as jumpy at times.
A consensus product may very well turn out to be better than its present form. To, however, have editors point out incomplete aspects then refuse to make alterations of any type is inconsistent of Wikipedia, by my understanding. We are evidently forging understandings?
Clarity is inescapable when viewed in this light. They must read the links in their entirety. I have seen sufficient evidence that they are not reading the links, they are requesting that others Assume they have done so. Good Faith?
Parserpractice ( talk) 23:08, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Xeno,
You have made a good point, and this is the type of editorial modification that is acceptable. The quote you gave above is somewhat redundant in the article: I left it as such to be sure that readers would encounter the information, and to give readers specific terms for further searching of their own. I have decided to form a new section on radar tracking claims, responsibilities, and technology. Condensing of detail will be a priority.
Parserpractice ( talk) 11:03, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
xeno,
I would like to title the section "Radar Tracking".
Here is the new section content material:
The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 mandates a civil/ military Air Traffic Control system and places the responsibility on the FAA for oversight and control of the common system. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the DoD and FAA on the Future of Radar Approach Controls in the National Airspace System, 14 Dec 88, states that the FAA "determines the standard for NAS equipment and ATC facilities" and that "DoD will equip facilities providing services to civil users so that the ATC service is transparent to the user." [1]
From the late 1950s to 1983 [2] the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (S.A.G.E.) Air Defense System was the nation’s means of air defense. It was an automated control system used by NORAD for collecting, tracking and intercepting enemy bomber aircraft and aircraft of malicious intent originating within, and outside, the U.S. To offset increased speeds of jet aircraft, SAGE alert fighter notification was automated upon detection of deviation from filed flight plans. Flight plans were inserted into the SAGE Air Defense System computers and were matched with radar returns, continuously and automatically, to aid in identifying the spotted aircraft. [3] The SAGE system grew to rival the Manhattan Project in size.
"In 1966, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown saw emerging technologies as the key to a more cost-effective and efficient air defense system. Brown's plan called for phasing out most military radars around the nation's periphery. Detection duties would be assumed by FAA radars that would feed information into military control centers. By 1968, only radar stations around the nation's perimeter remained in Air Force jurisdiction. All (SAGE) gap-filler radars ceased operations. Interior stations were either closed or turned over to the FAA." [4]
The Department of Defense and the FAA had been negotiating throughout the 1970s for the FAA to assume control of most tracking duties as part of a proposed Joint Surveillance System. In the early 1980s, when the JSS project was completed, the JSS operated 46 long-range radar sites. 31 of the sites had FAA-operated search radars and Air Force-manned height-finder radars. 5 sites had FAA radars that simply provided a data tie to one of the SAGE Regional Control Centers (RCC). Initially, these 46 radar sites provided data feeds to the 6 remaining SAGE RCCs. During 1983, these 6 SAGE RCCs were replaced by 4 Region Operation Control Centers (ROCCs) that operated as part of the JSS. By 1987, the 4 ROCCs relied mostly on data-feeds from the FAA JSS radars. JSS was an Air Force/FAA cooperative effort to provide a peacetime air surveillance and control system to replace SAGE and BUIC systems. [5]
On 9/11, the FAA's newest Air Route Surveillance Radar-4 (ARSR-4) data were merged with data from a co-located secondary beacon system and then transmitted to FAA’s en route air traffic control centers and Air Force Air Defense Sectors (NEADS/Rome, a JSS Region Operations Control Centre (ROCC). These radars were developed jointly for the FAA and the USAF to replace earlier search and height-finder radars. [6]
Flight plans require an aircraft to follow a prearranged flight path with agreed upon waypoints. Flight path is allowed to change only after waypoints are achieved. Comparison with radar return is what allows aircraft with and without transponders to be easily identified as errant. SEADS, the Southeast Air Defense Sector, correlates radar return to flight plans. [7]
The Southeast Air Defense Sector has since been absorbed into the Eastern Air Defense Sector, as has the Northeast Air Defense Sector.
Northeast Air Defense Sector/ NORAD personnel after 9/11 claimed to be unable to track aircraft within the nation’s interior, yet several sources detail them doing exactly that. Michael Bronner’s Vanity Fair article describes one instance: ““Looking at the general capitol area, one of the [NEADS] tracker techs thinks he spots the plane on radar.” [8]; “A NEADS controller is the first to notice the Langley jets were not headed to Washington, as directed by NEADS.” [9] The 9/11 Commission Report: “Radar techs at NEADS/Rome are tracking Flight 77 near Washington, D.C.” [10]
To quote NORAD regulations in effect on 9/11: “Authorization for Interceptor Operations: (b) When the hijacked aircraft is within FAA radar coverage, escort [interception] aircraft is controlled by the appropriate FAA facility." [11] [12]
This would go with removal of tracking technology history and systems from the Flight 11 section.

Can't tou at least tag unreferenced text as such for a few miunutes, or better, say 24 hours, before deleting it. I'm actively traking down citations for the text you keep removing, and you're making the job much harder than it needs be. I have no disagreement that unreference stuff should be removed, but it is much better for the encyclopaedia if you first let people who might go out and find the citations have a go. You can always come back in a bit and strike the text. -- Jaymax ( talk) 20:10, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Consensus was reached at WP:VG that if a series is large enough (at least 3 games and 1 media item/game) the series page shouldn't be disambiguated. (See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (video games)#Disambiguation).Since Mass Effect has more than 3 games, it is large enough to have a non-disambiguated series article, so you should go ahead and perform the move.-- ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 02:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I've had experience with this user before. He's been a vandal for a while and got two warnings (Levels 2 and 3) for vandalising my user page after I dared to contradict him. He then vanished for a while (starting 8 August) and reappeared on the tenth of October by blanking his talk page and one other talk page where I'd discussed his vandalism habits. I commented on the page, assuming good faith and that he might have learned. Since then, while he hasn't returned to vandalism (barring repeatedly deleting the type of media Halo: Reach will be delivered on), his attitude is rapidly growing worse, assuming I'm out to get him and... I think he's now comparing me to a child molester, I'm not totally sure. The spelling of his latest post isn't that great (though it has made me fear for the next Windows OS). Any ideas on how to calm him down? I'm not looking for a block (yet), because I'm still going to assume good faith and that he really does think I'm out to get him (to be fair, it has been me who has reverted the Reach edits every time so far). -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 15:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
The hatchet can be buried really easily between us too. Just don't be reverting my edits if it is backed up by substantial citations and references that are from a reliable source and can be verified, and don't undo my deletions dealing with items that are adjusted due to lack of citations, or contradictions, or other similar reason. Also on a side note. I never called you (TheJadeFalcon) a child molester. Unless you felt like it was referring to you then you have my apologizes. As stated on the talk page under humor it was just twisted humor. Done and over with right? I hope so. I never told anyone on you. But you have wanting to tell several users and admin about.

Is there any way to get a list of articles that were created (more than 5 years ago), and have had less than (a dozen edits) in their lifetime, and/or haven't had any new edits in (the last 2 years)? If so, I'm sure that number is in the thousands, so is there any way to then break said list down by year or month/year?

I've just possibly abused rollback priviledges out of laziness.

Hello! Sorry I missed you RfB, I would totally supported that! I wish they would allow cavassing. But then again I am radical! haha!
I think that we can go ahead and try to auto assess WP:INDIANA article with Xenobot whenever you feel up to it. I do have a couple question, it looks like you use one or more assessments from other articles to determine the assessment your bot will make. I would like to only take an assessment if at least two projects have already rated it. If, for example, Project A assessess as stub and Project B assesses as Start, will you apply a Start, Stub, or no class to the article? (Stubwould seem like the correct awnser to me)
Also, is there a paremeter you will add to the project template that will cause it to go into a category or inform the viewer that it was assessed automtatically? User:Betacommandbot (RIP) used to do something like this as I recall, but hunting through the difs I can't find it. So maybe I imagined it. I know it at least put a note on the talk page. If no such paremeter exists, could the bot at minimum add a category on the talk pages where you make an assessment. Something like Category:Auto assessed Indiana articles? I just think that at some point it will be benficial for humans eyes to manually check things, and also to make sure the reader knows it is an auto assessment.
No hurry on anything, and if you are busy I totally understand. Thanks Xeno! — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 14:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello again. Reywas hasn't responded, so I would say go ahead with the tagging of quality and importance. I think less than half the articles you tag will be able to take a default importance anyway, and in those cases the importance is pretty well clear cut.

Hi. Why was this issue tagged as resolved, when the bot continues to add BLP articles to this porn log? Not every wikipedia user or wikipedia reader understands what a bot is, or is acquainted with the the functions of a bot. The message left behind in the mind of the casual wikipedia user who clicks on the "What links here" link, and sees the AlexNewArtBot/PornFeedNameLog entry in the list, is that somehow the subject of the BLP article is connected to porn. Rlevse has asked the owner of the bot to fix the issue, but evidently this hasn't been done, as this bot continues to add non-pornographic articles into this porn-log list. Could you pls look into this issue? For this purpose, to stop this bot from including non-pornographic articles into the porn-log-list I have brought up the issue to WP:ANI - but the issue was closed without the the issue being solved properly.

It is allowed. It's discouraged, but allowed. Besides, I am also fixing disambiguations too. This is especially annoying when I am fixing a spelling error or name of a game to the correct name. That is called proofreading.

Hi Xeno, I do this when an article is undergoing an extensive rewrite, for FAC for example. References get moved around as the text does, and sometimes disappear entirely. This triggers a bot arriving to fix them (i.e. to fix the ref name=x, where x has been removed). This means I get edit conflicts when I go back myself to fix the next part, so I leave the nobots template on for the duration of that work. SlimVirgin talk| contribs 15:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I have seen other people using superscript and using citation needed but it doesn't break the flow of the sentence (means there is no space between the sentence and citation needed seems to hang over it ) .
To make it understood explicitly I don't like the space I have wasted between 'address space' and 'leaving only 2 to 3 GB' . Is there a way to make it go away and still have citation needed hanging over ? Shirishag75 ( talk) 04:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

There was a bit of an issue with Off2riorob about some categories. I have a feeling that I was at fault, but I can't get rid of the idea that he is watching whatever pages I have edited. I got this idea after another editor came along and reverted an edit on a page that I didn't touch because I didn't want to escalate things. What also concerns me is that he immediately went to that editor and became friendly with them. This strikes me as odd, as I don't usually think of anyone doing this unless they want a new friend or someone to support them. While looking around, I noticed that Off2riorob was previously blocked, so I'm wondering if there are any hints of any prior behaviors now occuring. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 19:36, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
It now seems as if he is monitoring my edits. He just asked me today why I marked something as minor, even after I told him that I set my settings to mark these things for me. I just responded to him, and I also told him to stop, or I would report him. I know this might not seem like harassment, but after what has happened yesterday, I am taking no chances. Any ideas?

We have agreement that all wp:CHI categories are to be in CHIBOTCATS.

I would like to note here that at no time did I claim the page referred to was a finished work. Some of the detail does come across as jumpy at times.
A consensus product may very well turn out to be better than its present form. To, however, have editors point out incomplete aspects then refuse to make alterations of any type is inconsistent of Wikipedia, by my understanding. We are evidently forging understandings?
Clarity is inescapable when viewed in this light. They must read the links in their entirety. I have seen sufficient evidence that they are not reading the links, they are requesting that others Assume they have done so. Good Faith?
Parserpractice ( talk) 23:08, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Xeno,
You have made a good point, and this is the type of editorial modification that is acceptable. The quote you gave above is somewhat redundant in the article: I left it as such to be sure that readers would encounter the information, and to give readers specific terms for further searching of their own. I have decided to form a new section on radar tracking claims, responsibilities, and technology. Condensing of detail will be a priority.
Parserpractice ( talk) 11:03, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
xeno,
I would like to title the section "Radar Tracking".
Here is the new section content material:
The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 mandates a civil/ military Air Traffic Control system and places the responsibility on the FAA for oversight and control of the common system. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the DoD and FAA on the Future of Radar Approach Controls in the National Airspace System, 14 Dec 88, states that the FAA "determines the standard for NAS equipment and ATC facilities" and that "DoD will equip facilities providing services to civil users so that the ATC service is transparent to the user." [1]
From the late 1950s to 1983 [2] the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (S.A.G.E.) Air Defense System was the nation’s means of air defense. It was an automated control system used by NORAD for collecting, tracking and intercepting enemy bomber aircraft and aircraft of malicious intent originating within, and outside, the U.S. To offset increased speeds of jet aircraft, SAGE alert fighter notification was automated upon detection of deviation from filed flight plans. Flight plans were inserted into the SAGE Air Defense System computers and were matched with radar returns, continuously and automatically, to aid in identifying the spotted aircraft. [3] The SAGE system grew to rival the Manhattan Project in size.
"In 1966, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown saw emerging technologies as the key to a more cost-effective and efficient air defense system. Brown's plan called for phasing out most military radars around the nation's periphery. Detection duties would be assumed by FAA radars that would feed information into military control centers. By 1968, only radar stations around the nation's perimeter remained in Air Force jurisdiction. All (SAGE) gap-filler radars ceased operations. Interior stations were either closed or turned over to the FAA." [4]
The Department of Defense and the FAA had been negotiating throughout the 1970s for the FAA to assume control of most tracking duties as part of a proposed Joint Surveillance System. In the early 1980s, when the JSS project was completed, the JSS operated 46 long-range radar sites. 31 of the sites had FAA-operated search radars and Air Force-manned height-finder radars. 5 sites had FAA radars that simply provided a data tie to one of the SAGE Regional Control Centers (RCC). Initially, these 46 radar sites provided data feeds to the 6 remaining SAGE RCCs. During 1983, these 6 SAGE RCCs were replaced by 4 Region Operation Control Centers (ROCCs) that operated as part of the JSS. By 1987, the 4 ROCCs relied mostly on data-feeds from the FAA JSS radars. JSS was an Air Force/FAA cooperative effort to provide a peacetime air surveillance and control system to replace SAGE and BUIC systems. [5]
On 9/11, the FAA's newest Air Route Surveillance Radar-4 (ARSR-4) data were merged with data from a co-located secondary beacon system and then transmitted to FAA’s en route air traffic control centers and Air Force Air Defense Sectors (NEADS/Rome, a JSS Region Operations Control Centre (ROCC). These radars were developed jointly for the FAA and the USAF to replace earlier search and height-finder radars. [6]
Flight plans require an aircraft to follow a prearranged flight path with agreed upon waypoints. Flight path is allowed to change only after waypoints are achieved. Comparison with radar return is what allows aircraft with and without transponders to be easily identified as errant. SEADS, the Southeast Air Defense Sector, correlates radar return to flight plans. [7]
The Southeast Air Defense Sector has since been absorbed into the Eastern Air Defense Sector, as has the Northeast Air Defense Sector.
Northeast Air Defense Sector/ NORAD personnel after 9/11 claimed to be unable to track aircraft within the nation’s interior, yet several sources detail them doing exactly that. Michael Bronner’s Vanity Fair article describes one instance: ““Looking at the general capitol area, one of the [NEADS] tracker techs thinks he spots the plane on radar.” [8]; “A NEADS controller is the first to notice the Langley jets were not headed to Washington, as directed by NEADS.” [9] The 9/11 Commission Report: “Radar techs at NEADS/Rome are tracking Flight 77 near Washington, D.C.” [10]
To quote NORAD regulations in effect on 9/11: “Authorization for Interceptor Operations: (b) When the hijacked aircraft is within FAA radar coverage, escort [interception] aircraft is controlled by the appropriate FAA facility." [11] [12]
This would go with removal of tracking technology history and systems from the Flight 11 section.

Can't tou at least tag unreferenced text as such for a few miunutes, or better, say 24 hours, before deleting it. I'm actively traking down citations for the text you keep removing, and you're making the job much harder than it needs be. I have no disagreement that unreference stuff should be removed, but it is much better for the encyclopaedia if you first let people who might go out and find the citations have a go.

I've had experience with this user before. He's been a vandal for a while and got two warnings (Levels 2 and 3) for vandalising my user page after I dared to contradict him. He then vanished for a while (starting 8 August) and reappeared on the tenth of October by blanking his talk page and one other talk page where I'd discussed his vandalism habits. I commented on the page, assuming good faith and that he might have learned. Since then, while he hasn't returned to vandalism (barring repeatedly deleting the type of media Halo: Reach will be delivered on), his attitude is rapidly growing worse, assuming I'm out to get him and... I think he's now comparing me to a child molester, I'm not totally sure. The spelling of his latest post isn't that great (though it has made me fear for the next Windows OS). Any ideas on how to calm him down? I'm not looking for a block (yet), because I'm still going to assume good faith and that he really does think I'm out to get him (to be fair, it has been me who has reverted the Reach edits every time so far). -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 15:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
The hatchet can be buried really easily between us too. Just don't be reverting my edits if it is backed up by substantial citations and references that are from a reliable source and can be verified, and don't undo my deletions dealing with items that are adjusted due to lack of citations, or contradictions, or other similar reason. Also on a side note. I never called you (TheJadeFalcon) a child molester. Unless you felt like it was referring to you then you have my apologizes. As stated on the talk page under humor it was just twisted humor. Done and over with right? I hope so. I never told anyone on you. But you have wanting to tell several users and admin about.

Thanks, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:36, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
What is with all of these high profile socks and high profile restarters? It is really starting to get out of control. Is this the new fad? Should people start stock piling sock armies because there appears to be plenty that get revealed every day lately. Ottava Rima ( talk) 18:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
I've answered your questions, but you should know the version of my personal policies you linked is outdated.-- Tznkai ( talk) 15:42, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
I request this a lot, don't I? While this user hasn't done anything to annoy me personally... well, look at his talk page. About a trillion warnings and, apparently, not one block. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 17:52, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Your aggressive approach is not something that can be shown in a single diff, but is a pattern of behaviour that I have observed in your treatment of various situations including Anybot, the editFilter, CobraBot, and now Betacommand. Wikipedia not a battleground. Please temper your contributions and realize that you may not always get your way. Best regards, – xeno talk 18:07, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey Xeno,
You being my adopter and all, I was wondering if you could review my first dispute resolution [23] Thankys! Tim1357 ( talk) 02:33, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Xeno, i just came across what seems to be a giant puff-piece written by one of the man's students. Would you care to read through its and eradicate every POV you'll find? I just don't have the necessary patience! Thank you, -- RCS ( talk) 14:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
I've just possibly abused rollback priviledges out of laziness. I just reverted everything a user has ever done because he was adding in what I took to be advertisements for games on the matching page. After I sorted out the ones on my watchlist, I left a note on his talk page explaining what I had done and and why and also why I used the rollback feature. If I'm due for any sort of punishment, go right ahead and I'll keep it in mind for next time, or is this an acceptable use of rollbacking? -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 13:33, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Xeno. Can you activated this user? Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikhailov Kusserow ( talk • contribs) 20:48, 30 October 2009
← Umm... okay? I think that coding hates me, because that's what I typed earlier and it didn't work then. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 18:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
&laar; wanted to try it as well. =P But due to your last edit summary xeno does this mean you have the flu or did it mean something else? =S 'The Ninja lemming' 21:37, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
