Was User:Kivar2 your sock?

Hi, I was going through the WP:O#Inactive list and found that Kivar2's talk page had been deleted. I noticed that the last edit before deletion was you redirecting his talk page to yours. Was he your alternate account? Should he be removed from the inactive list altogether? Puzzled,-- Aervanath ( talk) 18:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Yes, he was my public sock, though I havn't had reason to use him lately. I think that it might be better to create an account along the lines of "Erik's Public Sock" or something... ErikTheBikeMan ( talk) 21:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'll strike it from WP:O, then. No pointing in having you on the active list and you're sock on the inactive list. :) It doesn't matter what you call your sock, as long as you're upfront about it. Mine is User:Aervasock (you can see I've marked the user page as such), and I just make sure I tagged the user pages accordingly. I'm still not sure why Kivar2's talk page redirect to your page was deleted; out of curiosity I looked into Tikiwont's contrbutions around that time, and it seemed unrelated to what he was doing. Do you want me to restore it?-- Aervanath( talk) 01:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Note: I've copied this to your page, where the conversation started; no reason to split up the conversation, as I'm watching this page.-- Aervanath ( talk) 02:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I'll continue it here. I've added the same sock template that's on your sock's page to mine (switching the username parameter, of course). I've also redirected the talk page to mine (I did leave your message, though). ErikTheBikeMan ( talk) 04:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik, just an fyi in case you aren't a watchlister, I declined your speedy deletion request on the above article and replaced it with a "cleanup" tag. I'm not convinced of the notability, but the article at the minimum at least asserts some and provides references to be checked out. Feel free to bring the article to WP:AFD if you think the community should discuss whether the article should stay or go. Cheers mate - Keeper | 76 21:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Please see Talk:Islam in Burma#Copy edit, August 2008 as I've returned for more copyediting. Cheers -- fraise ( talk) 09:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Pseudo-Acronym

You wrote on my talkpage: Hey, I saw your revert, then self-revert on Pseudo-acronym. Thank you for catching your own mistake! ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 01:44, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Yup. The uncited ref looked, on first blush, like a typical act of vandalism, and the revert was pretty much reflex. But then I saw that it was an established username, looked at the contribs, and knew that the inference couldn't be right (exception: one time, I was logged on, and one of my son's friends made a couple of way ugly edits I'm still living with). So I fleshed the entry out a bit. I'd like to see all the items on that page documented or at least explained -- it's a page that attracts a lot of WP:Patent nonsense and WP:OR, so people who watch it may be just a little trigger-happy. So sorry for that -- your good rep is well-earned, and I surely woudln't want to damage it. Best, DavidOaks ( talk) 04:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Tautology

"Homosexual anal sex", already a fairly convoluted description of what "gay sodomy" would perfectly adequately describe, does not require any further explanation: anal sex requires a man in order to be sex. Homosexuality requires two people of the same sex in order to be homosexual. This is notwithstanding that I daresay the source in question does not dictate that "pitcher" and "catcher" must apply only to participants in homosexual anal sex. Even, Erik, if you genuinely do feel that my edit was superfluous, it is very poor logic on your part therefore to imagine that it is necessary that you should take it upon yourself to revert it without first discussing it with me. LaFoiblesse 2009-04-20 00h10 (British Summer Time) —Preceding undated comment added 23:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC).

I would imagine that if two women did engage in anal sex, then one would be able legitimately to describe them using the terms in question from the article. I just didn't feel the word "male" added anything except padding. Anyway, it's your call.

Was User:Kivar2 your sock?

Hi, I was going through the WP:O#Inactive list and found that Kivar2's talk page had been deleted. I noticed that the last edit before deletion was you redirecting his talk page to yours. Was he your alternate account? Should he be removed from the inactive list altogether? Puzzled,-- Aervanath ( talk) 18:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Yes, he was my public sock, though I havn't had reason to use him lately. I think that it might be better to create an account along the lines of "Erik's Public Sock" or something... ErikTheBikeMan ( talk) 21:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'll strike it from WP:O, then. No pointing in having you on the active list and you're sock on the inactive list. :) It doesn't matter what you call your sock, as long as you're upfront about it. Mine is User:Aervasock (you can see I've marked the user page as such), and I just make sure I tagged the user pages accordingly. I'm still not sure why Kivar2's talk page redirect to your page was deleted; out of curiosity I looked into Tikiwont's contrbutions around that time, and it seemed unrelated to what he was doing. Do you want me to restore it?-- Aervanath( talk) 01:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Note: I've copied this to your page, where the conversation started; no reason to split up the conversation, as I'm watching this page.-- Aervanath ( talk) 02:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I'll continue it here. I've added the same sock template that's on your sock's page to mine (switching the username parameter, of course). I've also redirected the talk page to mine (I did leave your message, though). ErikTheBikeMan ( talk) 04:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik, just an fyi in case you aren't a watchlister, I declined your speedy deletion request on the above article and replaced it with a "cleanup" tag. I'm not convinced of the notability, but the article at the minimum at least asserts some and provides references to be checked out. Feel free to bring the article to WP:AFD if you think the community should discuss whether the article should stay or go. Cheers mate - Keeper | 76 21:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Pseudo-Acronym

You wrote on my talkpage: Hey, I saw your revert, then self-revert on Pseudo-acronym. Thank you for catching your own mistake! ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 01:44, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Yup. The uncited ref looked, on first blush, like a typical act of vandalism, and the revert was pretty much reflex. But then I saw that it was an established username, looked at the contribs, and knew that the inference couldn't be right (exception: one time, I was logged on, and one of my son's friends made a couple of way ugly edits I'm still living with). So I fleshed the entry out a bit. I'd like to see all the items on that page documented or at least explained -- it's a page that attracts a lot of WP:Patent nonsense and WP:OR, so people who watch it may be just a little trigger-happy. So sorry for that -- your good rep is well-earned, and I surely woudln't want to damage it. Best, DavidOaks ( talk) 04:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Tautology

"Homosexual anal sex", already a fairly convoluted description of what "gay sodomy" would perfectly adequately describe, does not require any further explanation: anal sex requires a man in order to be sex. Homosexuality requires two people of the same sex in order to be homosexual. This is notwithstanding that I daresay the source in question does not dictate that "pitcher" and "catcher" must apply only to participants in homosexual anal sex. Even, Erik, if you genuinely do feel that my edit was superfluous, it is very poor logic on your part therefore to imagine that it is necessary that you should take it upon yourself to revert it without first discussing it with me. LaFoiblesse 2009-04-20 00h10 (British Summer Time) —Preceding undated comment added 23:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC).

I would imagine that if two women did engage in anal sex, then one would be able legitimately to describe them using the terms in question from the article. I just didn't feel the word "male" added anything except padding. Anyway, it's your call.

I am reviewing the matter as regards the ANI discussion, and would ask you if you could respond on the ANI discussion as to what your consideration of how the mediation is/was proceeding - I specifically wish to know if it had stalled. Thanks, LessHeard vanU ( talk) 20:07, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I've responded to your post in the Daybreak article discussion, addressing an assumption you might have made that was inaccurate. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 20:59, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Medation on List of Avengers

If you have been on, you might not have noticed that Slamburger is back at the medation at Talk:List of Avengers members#General Discussion since he announced he wasn't coming back.

GA/GANs by a spam editor

FYI, you reviewed a GAN by Zithan ( talk · contribs) a sockpuppet of the crat/OS Nichalp used to write spam articles for clients in return for pay. Although he has now blanked the identifying stuff I still have screenshots of it [1]. Talk:Qualifying_Industrial_Zone/GA1. You might want to be careful as in one paid article Zithan wrote, all the frauds/violations of corporate law committed by the client was omitted YellowMonkey ( cricket calendar poll!) 01:15, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, if you are assessing article stubs, e.g Iranian villages can you please add class=stub to the parameter? It just saves times later in having to reassess them. Thanks, Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Imagine LSRV page

ErikTheBikeMan, please inform me why you feel this page I created for Imagine LSRV is made up. I understand that Google does not show any information about it on its searches yet. However, after a quick search you will be able to find information about this vehicle and its very real presence. I would like to point out that Wikipedia currently has pages on other land speed record projects that are only concepts without a vehicle produced (i.e Bloddhound SSC) and I would like to know why those are still on Wikipedia and I continually have to fight for my pages. Thanks for your time. Tstakes ( talk) 05:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
