Hello, I'm not entirely happy with the above article, are you going to do a project for every year in Spain? If not, this article will be lonely and soon be deleted, I'm afraid. Shoombooly ( talk) 21:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I was just doing New Page Patrol and I was stamping your new Trinidad articles for approval. I just wanted to drop a line and say "Thanks!" for bringing this Trinidad information to Wikipedia -- you are doing a fine job in expanding the Caribbean coverage. I have also added WikiProject templates to the articles, and you may wish to consider doing this on your future contributions. Be well, and keep up the good work. Ecoleetage ( talk) 12:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
In appreciation of your work regarding Trinidad's coverage on Wikipedia, please accept this as a token of my appreciation:

Hello! I removed the Speedy Delete tags, and suggested the editor take the articles to AfD if he wants erasure. The problem with New Page Patrols is that some editors are too eager to delete. I know, I used to be one of them. That's why I now add WikiProject templates where applicable to patrolled pages. If you need any further help, just whistle.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- SineBot ( talk) 17:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Fragments of Jade has taken that quote you got about Heather being named after the actress to mean that she was given her last name as well. I completely agree with you that that's not the case though. Thanks for looking into the situation. I can create a mini article on the actress if you'd like, she apparently did some voice work for SH4 as well - that might help beef it up a bit. Thanks again. -- Thaddius ( talk) 12:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on The Irish Descendants requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. --

Your message to my talk page[ http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Collectonian&diff=224441839&oldid=224441578 was a false accusation of vandalism, and completely inappropriate. The band member listing are nearly word from word from the official site. Adding the word "on" does not make it any less so. You want to disagree with the removal, fine, but do not level out right false accusations of vandalism against me just because you disagree. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 21:26, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I share your concern at the above deletions. But could you pleas comment on the relationship between William Curry (Geophysicist) and William Curry (Oceanographer). Are these actually two people in very similar fields having exactly the same name? Could you please add some sources and links to the article on the Geophysicist to verify the information provided there. I am quite prepared to help you carry this a little further if necessary beyond the DRV if I think it appropriate. , but this must be clarified first.

I wanted to drop you a line about something you mentioned on my user page. I will address your other points later today, but I had a quick question. Where did you see that an editor who PROD's an article cannot nominate the same for AfD (assuming someone has contested the PROD)? I haven't run across that policy/guideline/practice etc yet. I checked WP:PROD and WP:AfD and did not see anything there. If you could point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. Cheers! TN‑ X- Man 19:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Heather Morris, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. • Gene93k ( talk) 06:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I've pretty much given up on the user - their Upage is on my watchlist and I'm checking their contributions relatively regularly. Much further and I'd have ARVd them for both vandalism and potentially attacking.

I saw your messages both AN/I and on my talk page. Let me begin with saying that I am NOT anti-American. I am, however, Canadian, and use the Queen's English like almost all of the English-speaking world except for the US.
As those who study language admit, the dropping of Queen's English in the US was primarily a political statement, so the "u" got dropped from odour, and "centre" became "center". Linguistics professors around the world (and the US) call this the "Bastardization of the English Language". That makes me sad. The use of Americanized English by some Canadian newspapers makes me sad.
Please note, I have specified in the AN/I that since en.beijing2008.cn uses Americanized English, then the use of "Center" instead of the IOC standard of "Centre" is correct.
However - a "metre" is a standard unit of measure. A "meter" is something you measure with.
Please only change the words in the article that actually should be changed.

You said that you were concerned that an admin, Nandesuka, used admin powers on an article he was involved with. If you look at the article, you will see that his involvement was limited to deleting the image which he said violated copyright. Therefore, there is no conflict.
Also, we have wikitionary to define terms. An encyclopedic entry would need to discuss origins, uses, etc, besides just merely defining. Ottava Rima ( talk) 17:53, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello there, you may remember me from that unpleasantness involving Fragments of Jade. Got a question about my watchlist that I hope you can help me with. It often shows an edit made to an article, but not subsequent edits after that, even if they are made by a different IP/user. F'r instance, I see a large deletion by an anon IP, check it out and find that yes, it was vandalism but has been reverted. But the reversion or other subsequent edits do not show up on my watchlist. It's not one of those server lag things either, as this happens all the time, regardless of whether there's a lag warning up or not. Advice appreciated, as this is niggling me.

Hi, you've contributed to past discussions on the Template talk:Sexual orientation page and we are now in the process of noting which of several proposals might help resolve some current content disputes.

The problem is that I didn't put any references or source cause I haven't found anything in English, an other user told me to link source/references in Italian would be ok due to the lacking of article in English and so I did but the template that say the article hasn't got any source or references is still there, I'm not English I'm Italian, and I spent an entire day to translate that article so I really don't want it to be removed, the italian version is ok, there are no template or any kind of advice so I suppose my English version is okay too..... please Help!!!!!!!

I think you editors need to back off and not attempt to bully new wiki users. I have provided valid reasoning for my edits, provided edit summaries, only to have them undone without explanation repeatedly and then accused of starting an edit war when the other guy is undoing and not providing explanations. I take offense to being called a vandal and think that is not civil at all. Just because you are both editors does not give you the right to gang up on less established writers. How do I get someone blocked from editing? because undoing my edits and just crying VANDALISM without justification is NOT RIGHT.
Oh and my edits? I took out the section talking about Ryerson Publishing House, which has no affliating with the university besides its name, and the long history about egerton ryerson, because the history does not talk about how he started ryerson. He has his own article for everything non-university related. I really think you guys are just adding fluff to the article for no reason. It's ridiculous.
Musicmogul09 ( talk) 15:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I can see that consensus, civility and assume good faith are important. BUT I think it's important NOT to automatically accuse somebody of vandalism and assume they are not acting in good faith. And to try to intimidate them because you (in your expect opinion, contrary to the whole wiki thing from what i hear) think they are vandals and you try to get them banned. Look at the summaries and note that I DID put comments in the history section. These were IGNORED. Also, no comments were put in reponse to any undo changes. Just because I don't know how to fill out a wiki: etiquette comment, and i don't know that editors assume vandalism over edits they don't agree with because they are biased, doesn't mean i should be intimidated. What you are doing is limited wiki to a SMALL NUMBER of people who likely are ALL HOMOGENOUS in thought.
Maybe I should edit more, and then GOAD new editors into getting themselves banned because I know the ins and outs of the system.
Got lucky. Its a keep... barely. I'll keep my eyes open for more sources. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

He's in all the magazines, he's on all the mixtapes, he was incremental in launching the careers of Bishop Lamont, The Game, Strong Arm Steady. He literally CREATED the mixtape game on the westcoast and has since been expanding, anyone in hip hop knows this information my friend, and the 21 links has all that information at your fingertips. Prove that he is actually someone? This man works with Dr. Dre, works with countless producers that I am sure YOU have never heard of, yet produce multi-platinum material that you most likely listen too. Why don't you do some research and edit yourself? I have put all the information as a fan would onto the entry as he more than deserves to be on wikipedia as the artists that he broke in the westcoast have there own full length page. Dont you think that it would make sense to have a legend on wikipedia so his fans can look him up on this site? I have barely used wikipedia, I personally don't have a week to sit there and edit and edit and edit a page until it is up to your standards. It is 100% accurate to the information provided, and you yourself should cite the links, cite the interviews, cite rolling stone, Urb, XXL, Vibe and the countless other magazines he has appeared in, and write the article.

Saying thanks for the very pleasant article on my page. FINALLY a person who is articulate and friendly. I was looking for that person in Wikipedia and starting to scratch my head quite a lot. I have a very "intellectual" styled humour. Things like "Turing Test", "SETI" and old school buzz words appear in my comments. Only the broad minded laugh their heads off.
There are some interesting people in this realm. Some of them failed to carry on a conversation with many questions. It seems that you take it or leave it, or as I like to say in the Leary manner "sit down, shut up and assimilate". I have been around and more than anything else I like a good old fashioned brain storm. Sometimes all I get is storm.
Your invitation to discuss things is most welcome.
I like the idea that people still like to stop and talk things over. Miroj ( talk) 10:59, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm not claiming ownership of the article at all. I simply removed the information because there is no source to back up the claim that it was similar to Thriller, and it's perfectly acceptable on Wikipedia to remove unsourced info. If you can find a reliable source that says that it looks like Thriller, then you can re-add the info.

Hi
Sorry for late response but, however....
I really see no reasons that makes HJensen offended if he is beeing described as Norse. That is (or at least by my criteria :) synonim for Nordic, Scandinavian , North Germanic worldwide. Danish people belong to that group (that is the opinion of most foreigners-imcluding myself . I don't know how do they see themselves in that "package" )
-- Añtó| Àntó ( talk) 11:35, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
My intention was (to be honest!) to bring some sarcasm. But,it would not be appropriate only if Danish people don't like to be compared with other Scandinavians and to remember parts of the common history (whatever would be the reason :) ) AFAIK that is not the situation .Unlike the Dutch people don't like people do not like to talk about Nederduitsland and Nederduitsch language (see laso these things 1, 2 )

Hi Bwilkins: In your capacity as a WikiElf could you help me with a new article " Is Google Making Us Stupid?" that I am hoping to bring up to snuff so that it can be a DYK in a few days. Manhattan Samurai ( talk) 18:20, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
GabrielVelasquez, rather than use "templates" that can occasionally be construed as negative, I wanted to leave you a short note regarding a few issues I have noticed. First, please be civil to other editors. WP:CIVIL requires that we discuss EDITS and not EDITORS. Simply because another person disagrees with your view does not give anyone the ability/right to call others names, disparage their work, or be otherwise uncivil. Second sockpuppetry is one of the cardinal sins on Wikipedia. Tossing accusations around is not something to be done casually. If you honestly have a belief that someone is a sockpuppet, follow the process here or stop making accusations. We have people in Wikipedia who do a good job tracking socks, so blatant accusations of sockpuppetry can be construed as very uncivil as it is truly an insult. Please also note that just because 2 or 3 (or more) people disagree with you, does not mean they are all the same person - many people disagree with me all the time in real life :-) and I can guarantee they're not schizophrenic. Everyone has a right to edit Wikipedia and add valid, cited, referenced information whether "experts" or not. All articles have a right to a WP:NPOV. By working via consensus, article can obtain and keep Good Article status ... edit warring does not help. If you want to further discuss, please feel free to do so on my Talk page.

Wallamoose has not removed the inflammatory section headings on his talk page, and he flouted your instructions by using talk pages on three different articles to attempt to cause conflict.

Hi, and thanks for your input on the alert page. I didn't mean to fan he flames, if that's what you mean be your final comment (you're not doing yourself any favours right now), and I don't think I've behaved improperly - I was seriously asking what the next step is. As there is no dispute, DR seems unlikely. Anyway, my thought this morning was to approach Firefly again today, explain that I didn't intend to upset him and suggest we both agree to move on and treat each other with respect. I'm not sure if this might be seen as antagonistic though, and I don't want to look as though I'm bating (after that was added to my charge sheet!) I must admit that yesterday I was quite upset by what I saw as the unprovoked attacks. Any and all advice appreciated, here, on my talk, or in the forum above.

I see you are on editor review. You are doing just fine. It would be very beneficial experience for you to work on getting an article up to WP:GA or WP:FA standards. Administrators need to be able to empathize with the editors who create our best content. By participating in those processes you will gain insights, and learn the importance of our content policies. Good behavior is important, but it is only half of the picture. Jehochman Talk 20:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up. I'd still like to hear from an administrator, but I don't want the wall of shame to personally offend anyone. I figured that, since there's already a list of IP adresses that have been used for vandalism, that this wasn't really a big deal. I tried to be civil about it though, and stated exactly what I meant by it. I certainly wouldn't liken it to "hanging deer heads in my library" or "outing sex offenders upon release from prison." I try to make it clear that if someone is generally making constructive edits, and the vandalism that I will take their names off. Their name on the wall is not permanent, as outlined on my user page under "Policies."
You've even been advised that your WoS is the antecedent to the behaviour by at least one other editor, so I'm not sure why you raise a WQA with a tone of surprise.
I've actually never gotten any feedback about the WoS, (other than threats from Faethon Ghost) so I assumed it wasn't bothering anybody. Also, I don't really see how I mishandled the situation with User: Faethon Ghost. It would help to know what I did wrong, so I can avoid it in the future. I didn't add him to the wall of shame for personal reasons, and not to provoke him. Only because of the repeated vandalism of Paul Byrd, List of pigs and my user page. Faethon Ghost 1) did not seem to be too sorry about his vandalism 2)the vandalism was less than a month ago and 3)Faethon Ghost really hasn't done too much since then, so I don't have much to go by.
I would think that you should post an apology on the talk page of EVERY editor on your Wall once you have removed it. Feel free to say "although I will continue to monitor for continued possible vandalism, I do actually look forward to your positive edits in Wikipedia"
1) Most of the users are just sockpuppets that are banned indefinitely 2) I don't feel an apology is needed. I didn't say anything bad about them, didn't condemn them, didn't personally attack them, and didn't pass off any false information.
I don't see the Wall of Shame as anything important, but I promise as soon as I get a complaint from an admin I will tear down the wall. :) -- Friginator 21:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Update: The comments you left on my talk page are disturbing. If you truly feel offended, then I think an admin is needed. If this is going to upset people, then I need someone with authority to step in and make a final descision. I don't want other users losing their respect for me over a little wall. I'm sorry. I'm not asking for an AN/I, just an outside opinion. The last thing I want is to log on and find that I've been blocked or banned. I'm unsure of which noticeboard this would fall under, but you seem to be more knowledgable in that area. Thanks. -- Friginator 22:45, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
I DON'T want to argue about it. At this point I just wanted to know if it was going to get me in trouble. I don't really think it's a big deal, but I'm not an admin. I don't like confrontation, I like knowing if I'm doing something wrong. I wasn't trying to confront you, I was just asking for help regarding an official descision. I'm taking the wall down if it's going to cause this much trouble. Sorry if I offended you. -- Friginator 00:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
I received your message. It would be helpful to me if you could cite the specific instance to which you are referring. Also, it was my understanding that both of our actions would be considered. I have tried to be exceptionally patient throughout this process and I think it's clear that I am putting up with a lot. Do I need to file a WikiAlert on RafaelRGarcia?

Honestly, I don't know what to do. You get edits like this and then various anon IP edits adding unsourced info and vandalism repeatedly to various articles ( here, here, here, here and so on). I revert because it's untrue but more importantly it's uncited and it's fanboy war vandalism over some voice actors and it all happens over again, issues of article ownership are brought up, etc etc. I don't particularly want to do it but I don't see many other editors reverting, and I don't want to let the IPs have their way with the article, because they're just inserting the voice actors they want, but nor do I like being accused of ownership or whatever else. Your advice would be appreciated.

I admit it is unscrupulous to add things that are unsourced, but as previously stated I had a source, he just said it was unworthy.

You recently commented on an editors review. [5] the link, and the ensuing "dialogue" might give your further insights to the editor in question's editing. Die4Dixie ( talk) 03:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
You need to check both of the IP's talk pages and their edit history then you will see why I am concerned. In parallel with this we have what looks like another sock attack on the UK page (someone else is looking at that - the raising suspicion stage). The IP edits here are very similar to previous sock puppet attacks hence my asking the question. If you check back on this history I have done my best to avoid sock puppets, trying to get IPs to admit up front if they have edited, even trying to get one long term sock puppet rehabilitated. I understand your reaction and your wish to establish your self as a mediator (I do a lot of that at government level myself - including Canadian provinces) but we are dealing with a complex set of pages here which are permanently subject to attack by IPs, edit warring, sock puppetry etc. etc. You would probably need to have the scars of an active and concerned editor on these pages to understand just why most of us will check (as I did) the minute a new editor emerges. When they use different IP addresses within a day of each other, refuse to ask questions and use features of Wikipedia it took me a year to discover then a degree of suspicion is reasonable. -- Snowded TALK 11:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

In this whole story you are just causing a loss of time - you are not assisting anybody, just trying to make any necessary protective mesures against a vandal slower. If you feel like judging problems that you do not know and visibly do not understand (even though I do not know what authority or legitimity you may have in this case), go and find some other victims. I do not remember asking you for any help, though I clearly remember that I told you to avoid sending me messages like the previous ones. From now on - avoid me. According to what I read from you, I just do sincerely hope that you will never become a checkuser here - I would be very concerned about your quite elastic conception regarding the use of the tool. Suggesting even unopenly that I could possibly be a sockpuppet of user:Antique Rose is insulting for both of us, as it can be very easily ruled out in a few minutes without any IP check.

Thankyou for the advice you have given me on my talk page but I would rather that discussion about the 'silly rabbit and LowKey' affair be ceased (on my talk page).

Hi. I am having a problem with these calendar days pages. In particular, there is the September 11 page. It has four topics on the intro page. I guess someone put up the WTC bombing, and others have said, "wait a minute, the date is important for other reasons too". I put up some key intro material in other days such as June 22 (invasion of the Soviet Union). These have been quickly reverted. My point is that the same rules should apply to all dates. Either allow intros for all dates, or remove the stuff where it is there, like in September 11. Wallie ( talk) 18:14, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

If yes, let's work here and hold off the ANI (for now). I'm happy to mediate, but everyone has to be open and in agreement to some changes here, whether slight or major.

I do hope this is closed for good. As you can see I marked the ANI as both resolved, AND added the archive tags around it. I'm thinking of doing it to this discussion as well, as I'm truly saddened by what I've read above and in the ANI. We need to to remember that every editor is also a living, breathing person too. ►BMW ◄ 01:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Is there a point that I have to say "bugger off", as opposed to what I have already said? Try re-reading the ANI before making such remarks - I was not the sole opponent, so get your facts straight. Retract your very off-base statements, or you'll find them removed from my talkpage. Learn the difference between someone expressing a "neutral, non-interested" position on a subject and "advocacy". I find this "ganging up on the neutral guy" to be a very interesting game, and one I'm not enjoying being a part of. Off you go now...Wikipedia has more need of good editors than non-neutral bullies who honestly failed to read before attacking at this point in time.

He's apparently had time to log in and delete the entire thread of commentary directed at him on his talk page, warnings and all. And yet, he's had no time to retract his ridiculous personal attack on User:Ragib's talk page, nor to visit and comment on others building consensus on the Inter-Services Intelligence talk page, nor to visit WP:ANI and present his side. And, why should he? He's already indicated he's just going to edit it as he sees fit when the protection is up. And, the article is protected now just as he likes it. There's been NO incentive for him to seek consensus, no repercussions for his behaviour AT ALL. The only administrator interventions gave him, frankly, just what he wanted. If either myself or anyone else makes changes when the protection is up (lotta good that's doing us now), he's just going to revert. It's his modus operandi. Just FYI.

First and foremost I would like to sincerely ask you for your help. Your input and patience is appreciated. I want to bring to your attention this. HD86 has made numerous comments such as "The Assyrians are EXTINCT people of ancient Mesopotamia whose name was stolen by some modern politicians and used in reference to the modern Syriacs. To label the modern Syriacs by "Assyrians" and to claim that "The Assyrian people trace their origins to the population of the pre-Islamic Levant" is indeed stupidity in its purest form." These comments are inflammatory, racist, unhistprical and outrageous. This user continues to deny that a whole race even exists. He needs to be wiki disciplined. This is unacceptable inflammtory denialist behavior. The equivalent of his statments would be that jews or arabs do not exist. Do you not see the point. His languge is very hateful and dimeaning to those of us involved in the project. If you take a look at his history he has similar incompetent statemetns regarding other controverisal topics. I ask for assistance in order to remove this hateful user from this discussion. He has denied the existence of an entire race that through ample ancient and modern evidence has existed for thousands of years. I will be waiting for your response.

Um, what is wrong with extra-curricular? [12] DoubleBlue ( talk) 17:39, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
I do not understand the issue with my edits to Matt Windman's page.
I understand the need to not get into an editing war, but how do you prevent others from simply editing back what you have done each time. Do you immediately move to dispute resolution?
Further, why is making a factual statement about someone (that is backed by a citation) in an article about that person deemed a "personal attack?"
I do appreciate your kind introduction - I look forward to getting a better understanding of things around here.
SlyFrog ( talk) 19:41, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
The issue was not editing articles about themselves, the issue was resubmitting following a prior discussion and deletion. I posted the statement because it reflected on the character of the subject of the article.
Should I have simply reported the newly posted article? SlyFrog ( talk) 19:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
I don't think you are assuming good faith or being reasonable to me in saying "smart assed" comments.
That said, I understand now that it should have been referred through the articles for deletion process and the talk page.
Thanks much for the clarification! SlyFrog ( talk) 20:07, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
I obviously disagree. But I do again sincerely thank you for the introduction, and the clarification you have offered. SlyFrog ( talk) 20:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
According to your user page, you aren't an admin but hope to be one some day. If that is still accurate I would suggest, first, that you stop responding to a bunch of ANI threads as if you thought you were an admin already and, second, that you not post highly uncivil comments, especially under the guise of trying to suggest that someone else should be disciplined because he is uncivil. You're coming across as exactly the wrong kind of person to be a good admin. If you do manage to get nominated those actions will no doubt be brought up as evidence that you are not ready.

Hello again. A couple things: first of all I am sorry if I have insulted you or anything earlier, you caught me when I was pretty angry. I was mad because you had no right saying there was a consensus on the matter when there was only 3 people questioning the matter. I wasn't really polite on the matter and you probably don't think very highly of me because of it. My edits I have made to the project, however, was in good faith. If you want to take a look at the reasoning for the decisions I have made on the matter, please take a look at WP:FBNC.

Hi. The encyclopedia would be better served if the ongoing stream of insults on your behalf, directed at me, were dropped in favour of actually improving the encyclopedia by applying our policies. Keep in mind that Wikipedia:No personal attacks is policy, as is Wikipedia:Edit war. If the only thing you're going to do on Wikipedia is go to people's talk pages to complain about me (and your recent contribution history demonstrates that this is the direction you're going), I'm going to have to resort to filing a complaint using one of the venues outlined at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. I'm presently doing research on the history of Windows NT from 1997 to 2000 in an attempt to improve History of Microsoft Windows; I'd like to think I could focus on that instead of being dragged down by this pettiness. Thanks. Warren -talk- 13:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) This is humourous. Although I don't think it takes too much investigation by even an novice editor to note a) my almost 5000 edits on Wikipedia, b) the topics I tend to edit, c) the difference in my use of language and grammar than another editor, d) the fact that I have never edited any of the topics in question, e) a myriad of other methods to differentiate me from any other editor on Wikipedia.

All right, the ANI was resolved because no admin action was needed. I think the moral of the story is that we both need to start showing more civility and start respecting each other. I blame myself for not assuming good faith, and you shouldn't have called me a vandal, etc, so it goes both ways. I would like to put this situation behind us and I would not like there to be any grudges or anything, because after all we are both here to contribute to Wikipedia and not to go off and start edit wars. So would you be willing to initiate a truce? If you accept, I'll leave you alone as long as you leave me alone and vise versa, and there will be no hard feelings against each other.

BMW, as I have mentioned before all I was doing from the beginning of this irrelevant dispute was simply challenging User: AramaeanSyriacs source as explained above until this other user hopped in the conversation causing everyone involved going completely off topic. The remarks I have made using the words bigot was simply a direct response to that user telling me to quote “take my damn head out of my ass.” [14]]. or this [15] He has had a long history of putting other users that disagree with his minority views he refers to them as stupid, biased, propagandists, ignorant, Nazis, mentally ill, childish, as shown in the second link and so on. Here are other examples “"Lol, logic equals zero" "Malik, I'm starting to believe you are stupid" "You can't blaim your obvious lack of reading comprehension" "Bla bla bla, cry me a river" "Sorry, you make no sense with your childish and naive claims" "Are you delibaretly being ignorant?" He has constantly put other users such as this user [16] who is an admin referring to this users vulgar mouth. He is simply trying to get me blocked because he sees me as logical threat to his edits as shown here in the past falsely accused me of being a sock puppet and got rebuked for it [17] This is just the tip of the iceberg, he has teamed up the user above me and has tried to spread propaganda throughout the encyclopedia, the first has been blocked multiple times for edit warring, vandalism, and the second constantly manipulates the meanings of words to eliminate his opposition. Each time one of them gets confronted with logical opposition they try to dig up dirt on the user to get him banned, each time User: aramaean syriac has been disciplined this user above me has defended regardless of the accusations. They back each other up in order to boost their POV material across. I have labeled these people those words because they have denied that my race existed in those times. They have denied the existence of the Assyrians saying this term is a 20th century term completely disrespecting an entire peoples history. That is the reason why I called him incompetent and bigoted it is because of comments such as this “was no such thing as Assyrian Christians at the times of the School of Nisibis.” If I were to say that Arabs or Jews have not existed until the 20th century and you are of Arab or of Jewish decent will you not be inflamed by such caustic rhetoric. I apologize for this long comment but I felt it necessary to say it, You have warned me and I Respect you as an admin, but clearly this user above me has gone too far and frankly gotten away with a lot unwarranted behavior that would otherwise get him banned. As I have stated above I will disengage myself from the discussion altogether, you have warned me because of the words “bigot” and yet you do not warn or take into account all the horrible claims User: The Triz has made against me and several users from the very few examples I have given above. Regarding his behavior, this is just a small amount of countless examples this user has done against many other peoples. I would appreciate your response to this, thanks and apologies for the long comment. Ninevite ( talk) 02:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Do you think your comments on WQA are appropriate? Comments such as "Gee HighKing, come down off thy HighHorse"? I don't. I'd rather not continue the discussion on WQA - it's ironic that when we're commenting on one editor we end up snapping and snarling at each other. If my comments riled you, I apologize - it was not my attention. As to your points about the UUA - my comments were that OM appears to get involved in a lot of disruptive behaviour and I pointed to the UUA as an example where the closing admin removed it with a quote of " removing inappropriate nomination" and another admin found evidence that there was a vindictive element to the nomination in the first place. -- HighKing ( talk) 13:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Your outbursts have just about zero relevance to my complaints. You clearly cared nothing about listening to my explanations about why I posted at WQA, or that it might have been a misunderstanding. You went straight for all the wild accusations that Lar started, which was nothing short of flaming. You did your absolute best to revive the old conflicts and then dumped all of it on me. If you've had genuine concerns over my behavior, you never appeared to have any genuine interest in explaining what you mean. All I can see is that when I complain of what I perceive as off-topic abrasiveness, you attack my complaints while ignoring accusations against me of everything from bullying (an odd thing to say in a dispute between only two people) and outright trolling.

I'm not going to kick up a fuss, because I basically agree with the closure, but that was pretty dicey as a non-admin close.

I've decided that this entire thing is pretty ridiculous and that I have better ways to spend my time (e.g., graduating, volunteering with people who happen to cope with mental illness--people who don't appreciate being stigmatized). I don't belong to a fan website and wasn't aware that any "buttons had been posted to my profie." As I mentioned, the issue isn't whether the page is deleted; I'm concerned that particularly disingenuous information is being dispersed about someone and something that doesn't deserve it. It's an issue I feel strongly about.
Anyway, I'm incredibly disappointed that this wonderful project can be so easily manipulated by nefarious people. I won't be donating anymore money to this cause and I'll advise my friends, acquaintances, and print audience to do the same. Please advise me on how to delete my profile and information.

I must say I disagree with your closure of this AfD. Procedurally, you are not an admin and I think only admins should be able to close contentious AfDs. This was clearly not a SNOW keep as there was a deal of straight "delete" votes. The closure also seemed like it had more to do with your personal opinion than that of the other editors. At the very best, no consensus was reached nor has ever been reached that "Lists are the preferred way of managing fictional characters" for all such lists.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- SineBot ( talk) 17:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Fragments of Jade has taken that quote you got about Heather being named after the actress to mean that she was given her last name as well. I completely agree with you that that's not the case though. Thanks for looking into the situation. I can create a mini article on the actress if you'd like, she apparently did some voice work for SH4 as well - that might help beef it up a bit. Thanks again. -- Thaddius ( talk) 12:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on The Irish Descendants requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. --

Your message to my talk page[ http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Collectonian&diff=224441839&oldid=224441578 was a false accusation of vandalism, and completely inappropriate. The band member listing are nearly word from word from the official site. Adding the word "on" does not make it any less so.

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Heather Morris, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. • Gene93k ( talk) 06:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I saw your messages both AN/I and on my talk page. Let me begin with saying that I am NOT anti-American. I am, however, Canadian, and use the Queen's English like almost all of the English-speaking world except for the US.
As those who study language admit, the dropping of Queen's English in the US was primarily a political statement, so the "u" got dropped from odour, and "centre" became "center". Linguistics professors around the world (and the US) call this the "Bastardization of the English Language". That makes me sad. The use of Americanized English by some Canadian newspapers makes me sad.
Please note, I have specified in the AN/I that since en.beijing2008.cn uses Americanized English, then the use of "Center" instead of the IOC standard of "Centre" is correct.
However - a "metre" is a standard unit of measure. A "meter" is something you measure with.
Please only change the words in the article that actually should be changed.

You said that you were concerned that an admin, Nandesuka, used admin powers on an article he was involved with. If you look at the article, you will see that his involvement was limited to deleting the image which he said violated copyright. Therefore, there is no conflict.

Hello there, you may remember me from that unpleasantness involving Fragments of Jade. Got a question about my watchlist that I hope you can help me with. It often shows an edit made to an article, but not subsequent edits after that, even if they are made by a different IP/user. F'r instance, I see a large deletion by an anon IP, check it out and find that yes, it was vandalism but has been reverted. But the reversion or other subsequent edits do not show up on my watchlist. It's not one of those server lag things either, as this happens all the time, regardless of whether there's a lag warning up or not. Advice appreciated, as this is niggling me.

I think you editors need to back off and not attempt to bully new wiki users. I have provided valid reasoning for my edits, provided edit summaries, only to have them undone without explanation repeatedly and then accused of starting an edit war when the other guy is undoing and not providing explanations. I take offense to being called a vandal and think that is not civil at all. Just because you are both editors does not give you the right to gang up on less established writers. How do I get someone blocked from editing? because undoing my edits and just crying VANDALISM without justification is NOT RIGHT.
Oh and my edits? I took out the section talking about Ryerson Publishing House, which has no affliating with the university besides its name, and the long history about egerton ryerson, because the history does not talk about how he started ryerson. He has his own article for everything non-university related. I really think you guys are just adding fluff to the article for no reason. It's ridiculous.
Musicmogul09 ( talk) 15:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I can see that consensus, civility and assume good faith are important. BUT I think it's important NOT to automatically accuse somebody of vandalism and assume they are not acting in good faith. And to try to intimidate them because you (in your expect opinion, contrary to the whole wiki thing from what i hear) think they are vandals and you try to get them banned. Look at the summaries and note that I DID put comments in the history section. These were IGNORED. Also, no comments were put in reponse to any undo changes. Just because I don't know how to fill out a wiki: etiquette comment, and i don't know that editors assume vandalism over edits they don't agree with because they are biased, doesn't mean i should be intimidated. What you are doing is limited wiki to a SMALL NUMBER of people who likely are ALL HOMOGENOUS in thought.
Maybe I should edit more, and then GOAD new editors into getting themselves banned because I know the ins and outs of the system.
Got lucky. Its a keep... barely. I'll keep my eyes open for more sources. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

He literally CREATED the mixtape game on the westcoast and has since been expanding, anyone in hip hop knows this information my friend, and the 21 links has all that information at your fingertips. Prove that he is actually someone? This man works with Dr. Dre, works with countless producers that I am sure YOU have never heard of, yet produce multi-platinum material that you most likely listen too. Why don't you do some research and edit yourself? I have put all the information as a fan would onto the entry as he more than deserves to be on wikipedia as the artists that he broke in the westcoast have there own full length page. Dont you think that it would make sense to have a legend on wikipedia so his fans can look him up on this site? I have barely used wikipedia, I personally don't have a week to sit there and edit and edit and edit a page until it is up to your standards.

Hi
Sorry for late response but, however....
I really see no reasons that makes HJensen offended if he is beeing described as Norse. That is (or at least by my criteria :) synonim for Nordic, Scandinavian , North Germanic worldwide. Danish people belong to that group (that is the opinion of most foreigners-imcluding myself . I don't know how do they see themselves in that "package" )
-- Añtó| Àntó ( talk) 11:35, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
My intention was (to be honest!) to bring some sarcasm. But,it would not be appropriate only if Danish people don't like to be compared with other Scandinavians and to remember parts of the common history (whatever would be the reason :) ) AFAIK that is not the situation .Unlike the Dutch people don't like people do not like to talk about Nederduitsland and Nederduitsch language (see laso these things 1, 2 )
bye! -- Añtó| Àntó ( talk) 17:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Bwilkins: In your capacity as a WikiElf could you help me with a new article " Is Google Making Us Stupid?" that I am hoping to bring up to snuff so that it can be a DYK in a few days. Manhattan Samurai ( talk) 18:20, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
GabrielVelasquez, rather than use "templates" that can occasionally be construed as negative, I wanted to leave you a short note regarding a few issues I have noticed. First, please be civil to other editors. WP:CIVIL requires that we discuss EDITS and not EDITORS. Simply because another person disagrees with your view does not give anyone the ability/right to call others names, disparage their work, or be otherwise uncivil. Second sockpuppetry is one of the cardinal sins on Wikipedia. Tossing accusations around is not something to be done casually. If you honestly have a belief that someone is a sockpuppet, follow the process here or stop making accusations. We have people in Wikipedia who do a good job tracking socks, so blatant accusations of sockpuppetry can be construed as very uncivil as it is truly an insult. Please also note that just because 2 or 3 (or more) people disagree with you, does not mean they are all the same person - many people disagree with me all the time in real life :-) and I can guarantee they're not schizophrenic. Everyone has a right to edit Wikipedia and add valid, cited, referenced information whether "experts" or not. All articles have a right to a WP:NPOV. By working via consensus, article can obtain and keep Good Article status ... edit warring does not help. If you want to further discuss, please feel free to do so on my Talk page.

Hi. Doesn't Wallamoose's extreme rudeness merit some kind of action being taken? Thanks. RafaelRGarcia ( talk) 22:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Wallamoose has not removed the inflammatory section headings on his talk page, and he flouted your instructions by using talk pages on three different articles to attempt to cause conflict. He filed a Wikiquette alert against me in retaliation, but has no new information, so I think the dispute should be closed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#Stalking_behavior_by_RafaelRGarcia .

Hi, and thanks for your input on the alert page. I didn't mean to fan he flames, if that's what you mean be your final comment (you're not doing yourself any favours right now), and I don't think I've behaved improperly - I was seriously asking what the next step is. As there is no dispute, DR seems unlikely. Anyway, my thought this morning was to approach Firefly again today, explain that I didn't intend to upset him and suggest we both agree to move on and treat each other with respect. I'm not sure if this might be seen as antagonistic though, and I don't want to look as though I'm bating (after that was added to my charge sheet!) I must admit that yesterday I was quite upset by what I saw as the unprovoked attacks. Any and all advice appreciated, here, on my talk, or in the forum above. Best, Verbal chat 08:52, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
I would like to draw your attention to this AfD discussion I have just started. I am leaving this message here as you were involved in the previous discussion about this page which ended just over a week ago.

I see you are on editor review. You are doing just fine. It would be very beneficial experience for you to work on getting an article up to WP:GA or WP:FA standards. Administrators need to be able to empathize with the editors who create our best content. By participating in those processes you will gain insights, and learn the importance of our content policies. Good behavior is important, but it is only half of the picture. Jehochman Talk 20:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up. I'd still like to hear from an administrator, but I don't want the wall of shame to personally offend anyone. I figured that, since there's already a list of IP adresses that have been used for vandalism, that this wasn't really a big deal. I tried to be civil about it though, and stated exactly what I meant by it. I certainly wouldn't liken it to "hanging deer heads in my library" or "outing sex offenders upon release from prison." I try to make it clear that if someone is generally making constructive edits, and the vandalism that I will take their names off. Their name on the wall is not permanent, as outlined on my user page under "Policies."
You've even been advised that your WoS is the antecedent to the behaviour by at least one other editor, so I'm not sure why you raise a WQA with a tone of surprise.
I've actually never gotten any feedback about the WoS, (other than threats from Faethon Ghost) so I assumed it wasn't bothering anybody. Also, I don't really see how I mishandled the situation with User: Faethon Ghost. It would help to know what I did wrong, so I can avoid it in the future. I didn't add him to the wall of shame for personal reasons, and not to provoke him. Only because of the repeated vandalism of Paul Byrd, List of pigs and my user page. Faethon Ghost 1) did not seem to be too sorry about his vandalism 2)the vandalism was less than a month ago and 3)Faethon Ghost really hasn't done too much since then, so I don't have much to go by.
I would think that you should post an apology on the talk page of EVERY editor on your Wall once you have removed it. Feel free to say "although I will continue to monitor for continued possible vandalism, I do actually look forward to your positive edits in Wikipedia"
1) Most of the users are just sockpuppets that are banned indefinitely 2) I don't feel an apology is needed. I didn't say anything bad about them, didn't condemn them, didn't personally attack them, and didn't pass off any false information.
I don't see the Wall of Shame as anything important, but I promise as soon as I get a complaint from an admin I will tear down the wall. :) -- Friginator 21:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Update: The comments you left on my talk page are disturbing. If you truly feel offended, then I think an admin is needed. If this is going to upset people, then I need someone with authority to step in and make a final descision. I don't want other users losing their respect for me over a little wall. I'm sorry. I'm not asking for an AN/I, just an outside opinion. The last thing I want is to log on and find that I've been blocked or banned. I'm unsure of which noticeboard this would fall under, but you seem to be more knowledgable in that area. Thanks. -- Friginator 22:45, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
I DON'T want to argue about it. At this point I just wanted to know if it was going to get me in trouble. I don't really think it's a big deal, but I'm not an admin. I don't like confrontation, I like knowing if I'm doing something wrong. I wasn't trying to confront you, I was just asking for help regarding an official descision. I'm taking the wall down if it's going to cause this much trouble. Sorry if I offended you. -- Friginator 00:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
I received your message. It would be helpful to me if you could cite the specific instance to which you are referring. Also, it was my understanding that both of our actions would be considered. I have tried to be exceptionally patient throughout this process and I think it's clear that I am putting up with a lot. Do I need to file a WikiAlert on RafaelRGarcia? His stalking has continued and its been disruptive to other editors. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response. ( Wallamoose ( talk) 23:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC))
I responded to your request that I change some headers.
Yet I received no response. Then when I was busy working on another project you defaced my talk page and removed a record of my attempts to request suggestions and help in dealing with harassment. Please explain.( Wallamoose ( talk) 01:48, 11 October 2008 (UTC))

If you can point to the diff where the headlines on my talk page addressing a certain miscreant were changed that might help, I couldn't find any diffs although the headlines were changed. As you'll recall this was done while my concerns and explanations had yet to be answered by you or anyone else. Then while I was working on something else, as I recall, my talk page was defaced by you or a closely related elf. ( Wallamoose ( talk) 21:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC))
Honestly, I don't know what to do. You get edits like this and then various anon IP edits adding unsourced info and vandalism repeatedly to various articles ( here, here, here, here and so on). I revert because it's untrue but more importantly it's uncited and it's fanboy war vandalism over some voice actors and it all happens over again, issues of article ownership are brought up, etc etc. I don't particularly want to do it but I don't see many other editors reverting, and I don't want to let the IPs have their way with the article, because they're just inserting the voice actors they want, but nor do I like being accused of ownership or whatever else. Your advice would be appreciated.

I know Mr T(Based) complained about me. He obviously enlisted you to enforce is twisted interpretation of Wiki Policy. I admit it is unscrupulous to add things that are unsourced, but as previously stated I had a source, he just said it was unworthy. I must also remind you that you are acting as Mr. T(Based)'s proxy admin. This is a serious violation of not only the rules in general but of the guidelines of adminship.

You recently commented on an editors review. [5] the link, and the ensuing "dialogue" might give your further insights to the editor in question's editing. Die4Dixie ( talk) 03:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
You need to check both of the IP's talk pages and their edit history then you will see why I am concerned. In parallel with this we have what looks like another sock attack on the UK page (someone else is looking at that - the raising suspicion stage). The IP edits here are very similar to previous sock puppet attacks hence my asking the question. If you check back on this history I have done my best to avoid sock puppets, trying to get IPs to admit up front if they have edited, even trying to get one long term sock puppet rehabilitated. I understand your reaction and your wish to establish your self as a mediator (I do a lot of that at government level myself - including Canadian provinces) but we are dealing with a complex set of pages here which are permanently subject to attack by IPs, edit warring, sock puppetry etc. etc. You would probably need to have the scars of an active and concerned editor on these pages to understand just why most of us will check (as I did) the minute a new editor emerges. When they use different IP addresses within a day of each other, refuse to ask questions and use features of Wikipedia it took me a year to discover then a degree of suspicion is reasonable. -- Snowded TALK 11:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

In this whole story you are just causing a loss of time - you are not assisting anybody, just trying to make any necessary protective mesures against a vandal slower. If you feel like judging problems that you do not know and visibly do not understand (even though I do not know what authority or legitimity you may have in this case), go and find some other victims. I do not remember asking you for any help, though I clearly remember that I told you to avoid sending me messages like the previous ones. From now on - avoid me. According to what I read from you, I just do sincerely hope that you will never become a checkuser here - I would be very concerned about your quite elastic conception regarding the use of the tool. Suggesting even unopenly that I could possibly be a sockpuppet of user:Antique Rose is insulting for both of us, as it can be very easily ruled out in a few minutes without any IP check.

Dear Bwilkins,
Thankyou for the advice you have given me on my talk page but I would rather that discussion about the 'silly rabbit and LowKey' affair be ceased (on my talk page). Also, I would rather that other editors stop commenting and explaining to me why my comments were 'bad'. All I wanted to do was to stop silly rabbit from being blocked and now all my edits are commented upon (and the discussion is going nowhere).

Hi. I am having a problem with these calendar days pages. In particular, there is the September 11 page. It has four topics on the intro page. I guess someone put up the WTC bombing, and others have said, "wait a minute, the date is important for other reasons too". I put up some key intro material in other days such as June 22 (invasion of the Soviet Union). These have been quickly reverted. My point is that the same rules should apply to all dates. Either allow intros for all dates, or remove the stuff where it is there, like in September 11. Wallie ( talk) 18:14, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

John, I don't believe that you have issues with DC defending themselves. Can we all work out something that gives both sides a positive, viable solution? If yes, let's work here and hold off the ANI (for now). I'm happy to mediate, but everyone has to be open and in agreement to some changes here, whether slight or major. If you agree to work on this, then say so...I can't force anyone. ►BMW ◄ 15:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I do hope this is closed for good. As you can see I marked the ANI as both resolved, AND added the archive tags around it. I'm thinking of doing it to this discussion as well, as I'm truly saddened by what I've read above and in the ANI. We need to to remember that every editor is also a living, breathing person too. ►BMW ◄ 01:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Is there a point that I have to say "bugger off", as opposed to what I have already said? Try re-reading the ANI before making such remarks - I was not the sole opponent, so get your facts straight. Retract your very off-base statements, or you'll find them removed from my talkpage. Learn the difference between someone expressing a "neutral, non-interested" position on a subject and "advocacy". I find this "ganging up on the neutral guy" to be a very interesting game, and one I'm not enjoying being a part of. Off you go now...Wikipedia has more need of good editors than non-neutral bullies who honestly failed to read before attacking at this point in time.

He's apparently had time to log in and delete the entire thread of commentary directed at him on his talk page, warnings and all. And yet, he's had no time to retract his ridiculous personal attack on User:Ragib's talk page, nor to visit and comment on others building consensus on the Inter-Services Intelligence talk page, nor to visit WP:ANI and present his side. And, why should he? He's already indicated he's just going to edit it as he sees fit when the protection is up. And, the article is protected now just as he likes it. There's been NO incentive for him to seek consensus, no repercussions for his behaviour AT ALL. The only administrator interventions gave him, frankly, just what he wanted. If either myself or anyone else makes changes when the protection is up (lotta good that's doing us now), he's just going to revert. It's his modus operandi. Just FYI.

First and foremost I would like to sincerely ask you for your help. Your input and patience is appreciated. I want to bring to your attention this. HD86 has made numerous comments such as "The Assyrians are EXTINCT people of ancient Mesopotamia whose name was stolen by some modern politicians and used in reference to the modern Syriacs. To label the modern Syriacs by "Assyrians" and to claim that "The Assyrian people trace their origins to the population of the pre-Islamic Levant" is indeed stupidity in its purest form." These comments are inflammatory, racist, unhistprical and outrageous. This user continues to deny that a whole race even exists. He needs to be wiki disciplined. This is unacceptable inflammtory denialist behavior. The equivalent of his statments would be that jews or arabs do not exist. Do you not see the point. His languge is very hateful and dimeaning to those of us involved in the project. If you take a look at his history he has similar incompetent statemetns regarding other controverisal topics. I ask for assistance in order to remove this hateful user from this discussion. He has denied the existence of an entire race that through ample ancient and modern evidence has existed for thousands of years. I will be waiting for your response.

According to your user page, you aren't an admin but hope to be one some day. If that is still accurate I would suggest, first, that you stop responding to a bunch of ANI threads as if you thought you were an admin already and, second, that you not post highly uncivil comments, especially under the guise of trying to suggest that someone else should be disciplined because he is uncivil. You're coming across as exactly the wrong kind of person to be a good admin. If you do manage to get nominated those actions will no doubt be brought up as evidence that you are not ready.

Hello Bwikins. You made a comment on WP:ANI that I found interesting here it is: "Steelerfan-94 is mentoring *blink*." could you please tell me what you meant by that comment. As it could mean a number of things IMO. SteelersFan- 9 4 06:57, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Excuse me, but in ANI you made a really bad comment telling me to stop editing because of a consensus. May you please point me to what that consensus might be? I really try to assume good faith, I have no idea where that evil comment would come from. Tavix (talk) 23:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello again. A couple things: first of all I am sorry if I have insulted you or anything earlier, you caught me when I was pretty angry. I was mad because you had no right saying there was a consensus on the matter when there was only 3 people questioning the matter. I wasn't really polite on the matter and you probably don't think very highly of me because of it. My edits I have made to the project, however, was in good faith. If you want to take a look at the reasoning for the decisions I have made on the matter, please take a look at WP:FBNC. Happy holidays to you as well. 21:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tavix ( talk • contribs)
Your recent meaningful participation in an ANI on sports-figure article disambiguation suggests that you may be interested in participating one way or another in the development and/or discussion of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople), a draft proposal to clarify Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) as applied to sports. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 04:15, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. The encyclopedia would be better served if the ongoing stream of insults on your behalf, directed at me, were dropped in favour of actually improving the encyclopedia by applying our policies. Keep in mind that Wikipedia:No personal attacks is policy, as is Wikipedia:Edit war. If the only thing you're going to do on Wikipedia is go to people's talk pages to complain about me (and your recent contribution history demonstrates that this is the direction you're going), I'm going to have to resort to filing a complaint using one of the venues outlined at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. I'm presently doing research on the history of Windows NT from 1997 to 2000 in an attempt to improve History of Microsoft Windows; I'd like to think I could focus on that instead of being dragged down by this pettiness. Thanks. Warren -talk- 13:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) This is humourous. Although I don't think it takes too much investigation by even an novice editor to note a) my almost 5000 edits on Wikipedia, b) the topics I tend to edit, c) the difference in my use of language and grammar than another editor, d) the fact that I have never edited any of the topics in question, e) a myriad of other methods to differentiate me from any other editor on Wikipedia. As the old saying goes about accusations of sockpuppetry: put up, or shut up. Please, I encourage you to file a sockpuppetry case here or retract the statements. ♪BMW Δ 16:27, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

All right, the ANI was resolved because no admin action was needed. I think the moral of the story is that we both need to start showing more civility and start respecting each other. I blame myself for not assuming good faith, and you shouldn't have called me a vandal, etc, so it goes both ways. I would like to put this situation behind us and I would not like there to be any grudges or anything, because after all we are both here to contribute to Wikipedia and not to go off and start edit wars. So would you be willing to initiate a truce? If you accept, I'll leave you alone as long as you leave me alone and vise versa, and there will be no hard feelings against each other.

BMW, as I have mentioned before all I was doing from the beginning of this irrelevant dispute was simply challenging User: AramaeanSyriacs source as explained above until this other user hopped in the conversation causing everyone involved going completely off topic. The remarks I have made using the words bigot was simply a direct response to that user telling me to quote “take my damn head out of my ass.” [14]]. or this [15] He has had a long history of putting other users that disagree with his minority views he refers to them as stupid, biased, propagandists, ignorant, Nazis, mentally ill, childish, as shown in the second link and so on. Here are other examples “"Lol, logic equals zero" "Malik, I'm starting to believe you are stupid" "You can't blaim your obvious lack of reading comprehension" "Bla bla bla, cry me a river" "Sorry, you make no sense with your childish and naive claims" "Are you delibaretly being ignorant?" He has constantly put other users such as this user [16] who is an admin referring to this users vulgar mouth. He is simply trying to get me blocked because he sees me as logical threat to his edits as shown here in the past falsely accused me of being a sock puppet and got rebuked for it [17] This is just the tip of the iceberg, he has teamed up the user above me and has tried to spread propaganda throughout the encyclopedia, the first has been blocked multiple times for edit warring, vandalism, and the second constantly manipulates the meanings of words to eliminate his opposition. Each time one of them gets confronted with logical opposition they try to dig up dirt on the user to get him banned, each time User: aramaean syriac has been disciplined this user above me has defended regardless of the accusations. They back each other up in order to boost their POV material across. I have labeled these people those words because they have denied that my race existed in those times. They have denied the existence of the Assyrians saying this term is a 20th century term completely disrespecting an entire peoples history. That is the reason why I called him incompetent and bigoted it is because of comments such as this “was no such thing as Assyrian Christians at the times of the School of Nisibis.” If I were to say that Arabs or Jews have not existed until the 20th century and you are of Arab or of Jewish decent will you not be inflamed by such caustic rhetoric. I apologize for this long comment but I felt it necessary to say it, You have warned me and I Respect you as an admin, but clearly this user above me has gone too far and frankly gotten away with a lot unwarranted behavior that would otherwise get him banned. As I have stated above I will disengage myself from the discussion altogether, you have warned me because of the words “bigot” and yet you do not warn or take into account all the horrible claims User: The Triz has made against me and several users from the very few examples I have given above. Regarding his behavior, this is just a small amount of countless examples this user has done against many other peoples. I would appreciate your response to this, thanks and apologies for the long comment. Ninevite ( talk) 02:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Do you think your comments on WQA are appropriate? Comments such as "Gee HighKing, come down off thy HighHorse"? I don't. I'd rather not continue the discussion on WQA - it's ironic that when we're commenting on one editor we end up snapping and snarling at each other. If my comments riled you, I apologize - it was not my attention. As to your points about the UUA - my comments were that OM appears to get involved in a lot of disruptive behaviour and I pointed to the UUA as an example where the closing admin removed it with a quote of " removing inappropriate nomination" and another admin found evidence that there was a vindictive element to the nomination in the first place. -- HighKing ( talk) 13:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Your outbursts have just about zero relevance to my complaints. You clearly cared nothing about listening to my explanations about why I posted at WQA, or that it might have been a misunderstanding. You went straight for all the wild accusations that Lar started, which was nothing short of flaming. You did your absolute best to revive the old conflicts and then dumped all of it on me. If you've had genuine concerns over my behavior, you never appeared to have any genuine interest in explaining what you mean. All I can see is that when I complain of what I perceive as off-topic abrasiveness, you attack my complaints while ignoring accusations against me of everything from bullying (an odd thing to say in a dispute between only two people) and outright trolling.

I'm not going to kick up a fuss, because I basically agree with the closure, but that was pretty dicey as a non-admin close. Two people arguing keep, one that refused to withdraw a delete, and one that added a delete after the opener said he was going to withdraw it is not a clear consensus for keeping. I suspect any admin closing it would have gone with "no consensus" and kept the article on that basis.— Kww( talk) 19:55, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I've decided that this entire thing is pretty ridiculous and that I have better ways to spend my time (e.g., graduating, volunteering with people who happen to cope with mental illness--people who don't appreciate being stigmatized). I don't belong to a fan website and wasn't aware that any "buttons had been posted to my profie." As I mentioned, the issue isn't whether the page is deleted; I'm concerned that particularly disingenuous information is being dispersed about someone and something that doesn't deserve it. It's an issue I feel strongly about.
Anyway, I'm incredibly disappointed that this wonderful project can be so easily manipulated by nefarious people. I won't be donating anymore money to this cause and I'll advise my friends, acquaintances, and print audience to do the same. Please advise me on how to delete my profile and information.

I must say I disagree with your closure of this AfD. Procedurally, you are not an admin and I think only admins should be able to close contentious AfDs. This was clearly not a SNOW keep as there was a deal of straight "delete" votes. The closure also seemed like it had more to do with your personal opinion than that of the other editors. At the very best, no consensus was reached nor has ever been reached that "Lists are the preferred way of managing fictional characters" for all such lists. Please consider reopening it so that an administrator can close it properly. Thank you, Themfromspace ( talk) 19:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
