I dunno, I try to help, and I get attacked by people for no reason whatsoever. Malleus went straight for the attack on me; I've tried my best to get on with him, but his pointless rudeness to me is seriously causing my desire to contribute to diminish. There was no need at all for the way he responded to me, none whatsoever. He misunderstood something I wrote, and decided to call me names and ridicule me in defence. Seriously annoyed by this. – How do you turn this on ( talk) 03:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Keeper This was a particularly hard Nom to write. Like I said a few days ago, it really would have been a LOT easier to write a strong oppose than a strong support. I probably wouldn't have spent the time investigating him if he didn't get some endorsements above (eg Moni3.) I also wouldn't have supported if he didn't explicitly state that he has tough skin... IMO, this is an RfA that should pass, but because of the nature of the area he worked in, I'm not taking anything for granted.--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 04:12, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I swear I am not posting this here to WP:CANVASS, so TPS'ers please feel free to skip this section... Keeper, I was wondering if you would do me the honor looking into my (currently running) RfA? I have a personal respect for you, and no matter how you !vote, I would value your review and opinion of my work... - Adolphus79 ( talk) 01:02, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Saw this and for some reason thought of you… The BBC's an unquestionable reliable source (and here's another to make sufficient multiple RSs); two points in the Wikipedia MMORPG to any TPS who can make an article out of that. Five points and an unblock for the vandal of your choice should it survive AfD. This video is the most unintentionally peculiar thing I've seen since this exercise in surrealism, too. – iride scent 00:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Nope wasn't me, I was convinced I was a rare survivor of Captain Tripps so didn't go last week. I still haven't updated my codecs to watch the video but it's totally RfA, not riffa. It's also an Eff A Cue -- not a Fack (FAQ) StarM 04:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Somehow I only managed to read the second half of this thread last night, not even realizing there was a whole other first half.
(outdent). Tan... is Tan, because I never remember the rest of his syllables and have no idea how he should be pronounced. I also ignore his number. Iri is Iri because I invariably misspell the rest of the syllables. JClemens--yes, although I don't know that assocation is a good one in recent years. Giggy is Giggy because it's infinitely easier to speall than DHO, which was what he was when he was his full name. Easiest to pronounce are: Keeper (again where are 1-75) and Brewcrewer. StarM 22:37, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
…could someone have a look at the strange shenanigans at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sebastian Cole and offer their own opinions and/or try to make sense of the mess? (This isn't canvassing – although I nominated this AFD it was purely procedural, and I have never heard of him, expect never to hear of him again, and have no opinion one way or the other on whether it gets kept.) – iride scent 15:30, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to do a Very Bad Thing and breach policy here by linking to an attack page, but "speechless" doesn't do justice to my reaction on seeing this. I thought I'd seen every variation of "personal attack", but this is… well… something else. To anyone else thinking of violating the mighty WP:CIV, I think the bar just got raised. – iride scent 18:18, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm looking for a bit of advice from either Keeps, TPS'ers or both! I've just come across this, this and this. I'm very unsure about what action (if any) I should take! Its seems that this user could be violating WP:MYSPACE, however he's only 9 and not really hurting anybody. Should I consider taking this to MfD, just leave it alone or ask a Sysop to review it?

(EC)I had an interest in Everyme's activity - it was an AN section I started that lead to his block. I'm not jumping up and down because it escalated to an indef block, and I simply answered because I was under the impression Everyme was not planning to return, as he had requested all of his subpages deleted and traces of him removed. If I offended you because I responded rather than him, than I apologize because it wasn't meant in a way to put him down. Grsz 11 03:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
He made a harassing on an IP, and didn't put his username there. I group of disruptive socks had just (hours earlier) been blocked and I assumed this was in that group and tagged the talk page. It wasn't until after I did that that he added his username, and then he went to my talk. Grsz 11 04:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
I took a look at the conclusion you came to on Everyme's talk page and while they are reasonable points I hope Everyme does not burn you. If you are a good friend of his then I would recommend you keep him from the Obama page and related articles. Due to the level of passion that the presidential election stirred up, the page normally sees about a couple different trolls a week all pushing for some absurd point that just has to be added to the article. While you may know Everyme and can vouch for him, he came to that page with lots of passion and would not try to compromise with the rest of the consensus (He kept brandying about a rule that he thought trumped everything else). Lastly the other reason I'm passing this note to you to keep Everyme away from all Obama related articles is that all of them are under a special probation due to the amount of trolls passionately pushing for one absurd point or another. If he edits respectfully and works with consensus instead of fighting a very steep uphill battle, then he'll do just fine. Yet, if he reverts back to his old ways then the special probation clicks back in with a much worse block then three weeks his original block was.
Finally, while I like your idea of everyone backing off for a bit, I think the real thing to say is that everyone should not be as passionate over Obama. As I mentioned above, the article sees lots of people every day trying to add obscure information, weird theories, or straight election spin attacks to the page. Before the probation and the semi protection the article looked more like an article out of conservipedia. A lot of editors worked very hard to clean up the page and bring it back to the FA status. Plus these same editors (Due to the fact that most people did not want to to touch the article) worked hard to keep the article at FA status under the onslaught of editors who just "felt" and "knew" that various small attacks had to be put in. These editors also saw various people fighting for "the truth." Now that the election is over most of those editors have calmed down a lot and a bunch of other editors have also come in to help monitor the article. Yet, these new editors also carry they same viewpoints as the original editors and of wikipedia as a whole in that the article should conform to NPOV despite what the trolls say. Everything that is on that page has been weighed as to importance to Obama's life and then added to the summary style article. So everyone has already calmed down. It it's when a troll or a person who acts like a troll (I.E. Everyme's behavior) appears on the page, then everyone's hackles start to rise again. So while the normal people should not let their hackles rise, people with passionate views like Everyme should also give it up and relax a bit and look at the much larger picture then their narrow viewpoints.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you can mentor Everyme into keeping his cool when consensus is not moving his way. Brothejr ( talk) 10:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

It's not much to thank you for the kindness you showed me when I started out, but I don't have a lot in Wiki-space to give. In the last year I've managed to dip into many of the delights that Wikipedia has to offer (found a collaborator, User:Gene Hobbs; got an article to GA; fought at AfD; argued at MOSNUM; and even did a bit of wiki-gnoming: fixing links that went to a dab-page).

I had a thought, which I posted Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Main_Page_and_improving_articles here, but I'm not sure what others might think - this isn't an attempt to canvass you to go there and agree with me, so please don't, but you edit a lot as an IP, and I thought that might add some new perspective to this thought about quality improvement.

Hey, Keeper,
I noticed that you reverted my edits to wikilink "as of 2009" on the RFK assassination (today's FA). The
MoS still says for linking this, using the template {{

, which links it and removes the link for non-logged in users/anons; see
WP:AO for more info on this. I've updated the lead with the "as of" template now, just FYI. Thanks -

The "Folically Challenged One" says hello Dr. Blofeld White cat 20:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Malleus, I think that's a little uncalled for. To some, Eco came across as nothing but a polite content creator. I have no patience for "he said ___ in a chat log" because in the end, that can all be forged. Was he brusque at times? Yes, but having worked in ESL I've seen that among many non-native speakers. If he hadn't admitted that he'd done what SDJ said - we'd have no proof of that either. Not once did I see proof of what he did or didn't do -- smart enough to keep it off Wiki? Maybe. Polite to many and ol school polite to women -- without a doubt. Eco was one hell of a content creator and in clearing out the backlog the last few days, I really miss his contributions and throwing articles to him to fix. StarM 00:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
(Comment to StarM and others) To be honest, there were things about him that just didn't hang together somehow, though it is difficult to put my finger on them enough to articulate them. That's why I asked the optional question I asked, and its answer just threw a bit more unease my way: not that the content of the answer was poor (excepting his large slip up in ascribing a bias in myself that clearly wasn't there on any evidence offered), but just that it wasn't consistent with other things I had seen him do and read about him: his response didn't fit well with the actions of someone who came across as an editor he seemed to admire and encourage in a couple of messages, but who had been a guilty party in exactly the edit-warring situation I had described in an "abstract" way (see Talk:Ayn Rand if you want to see the actual example I used for the model situation I described.) Now his interactions with this editor may well have just been him buttering them up to vote for him, but this then just made it worse. That is why I had not given any response by the time it all collapsed. It was too "fishy", and I couldn't describe the source of the bad smell, though I suspected it might have been that he was not describing himself when he was talking about what he would do. If so, then if he was as convincing at masking that as he appeared to be with all the votes in favour of him, then what else would he be capable of, given the other concerns people had? I thought. That taken with the error of assuming motives and bias in his answer made it unlikely that I could vote "Support"; the issue was whether it would have been "Neutral" as opposed to "Oppose", and that depended on whether I felyt it important that he was prevented from being adminned rather than not opposed. Well, as it turned out, we now know what was true. DDStretch (talk) 00:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
DDStretch and Keep, interesting points. I don't know what I'd have done if Husond had provided on-wiki diffs or other proof. No, I don't count e-mails or chat logs to arbs or whomever as "proof" because they can be so easily forged. If all that had remained were unsubstantiated claims, I think the RfA would probably have passed. Husond's oppose didn't generate a lot of follow on opposes and while there were a good number of legit opposes raised (I consider most legit, even if I don't agree with them), there were also a lot of supports. In the end, Eco tanked his own RfA and that's something I'd like to ask why. His 2nd RfA was likely headed to failure but this one was still in the 80s and I think would have passed. In a lot of ways, I think a lot of RfAs at the one year mark might be similar because who doesn't attract some who disagree the more time they spend on wiki? It's a natural matter of course, I think. The interesting thing here -- what Eco ultimately did to SDJ was clearly wrong... but that wasn't a clear case of one-sided action either. SDJ lucked out, he got out of the spotlight because what Eco did was worse. But what it ultimately boiled down to was two men (judging by SDJ's name, I think he's male -- I know Eco is) acting like junior high boys. And what does that say for all the ageism in RfA. You get adults who can't act it either, and that's just sad. Oh well, it's over and done. We've filled our drama quotient this month. On the plus side, it's gotten me back to work, something I haven't done in months. I still miss Wikicite and wish there were a Mac version because I hate having to know/use templates so I don't end up working on content. StarM 05:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if EVula would be good to go for. He doesn't really like me right now, and it might be bad seeing as I am the fake nom of the fake RfA. Instead, I'm thinking that if this hits 100, we should take it straight to either the boss man or ArbCom and ask for immediate appointment. :) Ottava Rima ( talk) 05:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Not sure what the edit was about anyways. A company in your part of the universe is pursuing me for an executive position in their company. Having lived in Minneapolis for a few months many years ago, I'm well aware of the good points and bad points (cold, no decent food, everyone tall and blonde). So, to remind myself how cold it is, I put Minneapolis in my weather program on my iPhone. When a city's high temperature has a negative in front of it, and the low temperature can freeze nitrogen (OK, I exaggerate, but just barely), I'm going to guess there are no palm trees lining the streets of Minnetonka. Of course, I remember in the summer, flocks of mosquitoes carried away babies and small dogs. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 16:34, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Keeper, I always drop by a talk page when I say something in a thread that someone might interpret as a put-down ... I never consciously put anyone down on Wikipedia, and I want to make sure we're clear. I talked about people talking with "moral authority" at WT:RFA#Arbitrary break about how arbitrarily everyone is dismissing keepscase's perspective. I agree with you that people should never be silenced or put down on Wikipedia, but I also support the idea of looking at anything that would improve RFA, looking for consensus, and writing it down. My sense is that consensus is leaning in the direction of letting people ask whatever question they want to at RFA, but that whatever it is that's making people uncomfortable might be dealt with by letting candidates know in the RFA instructions that it's a minority position that "silly" questions are useful in RFAs. Whatever your position is, I'd appreciate your input in the thread. (Watchlisting) - Dan Dank55 ( send/receive) 18:38, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
My RFA passed today at 150/48/6. I wanted to thank you for weighing in, and I wanted to let you know I appreciated all of the comments, advice, criticism, and seriously took it all to heart this past week. I'll do my absolute best to not let any of you down with the incredible trust given me today. rootology ( C)( T) 07:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC) |

Hi Keeper. I was introduced to you by Collectonian ( talk · contribs), who commented that you had copyedited the Naruto character list before it was sent to FLC, which it passed. I saw the "Wikibreak" tag on the top of your page and asked Malleus Fatuorum ( talk · contribs) instead, but since Malleus is busy with another Anime episode list at this time, I thought it might be a good idea to ask you. I have two lists that I am looking to send to FLC in the near future: List of Adventures of Mini-Goddess episodes and List of Oh My Goddess! episodes. Since thingg ( talk · contribs) is looking at List of Adventures of Mini-Goddess episodes, could you take a look at List of Oh My Goddess! episodes and copyedit it? If you're still on Wikibreak and don't feel like copyediting, let me apologize beforehand for bothering you. Thanks! NOCTURNENOIR ( t • c ) 04:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I thought of you when I saw a couple of your boys: Steve Hutchinson and Adrian Peterson. Not sure about any other Vikings. I'd post you photos but I don't have anywhere to post that doesn't tie to my name, which I don't want to do on Wiki. Phooey. Hope all is well in Keeper world. StarM 00:54, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Oh and as I said to Brew, Joe was right about A-Rod, who I've never been a fan of.

Hope you don't mind my comment underneath yours at WT:RFA. It's meant in good humor, and to reflect pretty much complete agreement with you. Townlake ( talk) 00:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Re your post... It's entirely true that WT:RFA is pointless and a time sink, primarily for people who want to be admins and admins who can't get away. Some people, myself included, keep tabs on some discussions and comment once in awhile primarily to keep the revolving cast of regulars from thinking they've "passed" random half thought out proposals. There seem to be one or two a week there, because I guess everyone believes 'fixing the system' needs just one good idea and they've got it. Avruch T 01:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
perhaps I should designate StarM as the official "I will respond to all queries on this page" person. I hate to see her own talk page surpass this one. Of course be warned TC, if I ever catch you claiming that your geriatric team will be better than my non-geritol team, I'll remove you from your post. Or perhaps, I'll just remove your posts. :-)

OK so I missed Opening Day, the official holiday of the Keeper-pedia, but the sentiment was here. StarM 23:19, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Well the Yankees offense is working so far and it was good to see the pitchers work too. I refused to panic, we weren't going 162-0 and contrary to popular panic, St. CC wasn't going 25-0 either. Sad news out of Anahemi re: Nick Adenhart. Amazing to think that someone born in 1986 can die. So young, so sad. New stadium is phenomenal, but a damn wind tunnel. Happy Easter/Passover/Nothing but a weekend, whatever your (non)holiday of choice is. My personal favorite is my friend's nephew's understanding at age 3. Easter is when Jesus comes back as the bunny?

Like them both, CitiField surprised me more I think, maybe because I hadn't paid attn to construction and obsessive commentary. Really reminds me of photos of Ebbets. Yankees/Sox see-saw is killing me but may I remind Sox fans, it's April and there are 17+ games remaining between them and ~140 in the season.

Hey there Keeper - been a long time. Nice to see you active :-) I was wondering if you - or any TPSers - know how to take a standard list (such as those created by #s) and make it into two columns. I have a long list that would be better in a two- or three-column format. Let me know if you have any ideas... Tan | 39 18:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, I hope boom, but given the Lions draft history, I'd bet the paycheck on bust. He's going to be starting behind Culpepper, who everyone is raving about because he lost 25 pounds in the offseason. I don't recall a single instance anywhere in the annals of the NFL where a washed-up player made a roaring comeback simply because he put down the fork for a few months. This means that as soon as the Lions lose three straight (which will happen fast), Detroit fans will clamor to start Stafford. Stafford, who would have benefited from two years behind a stellar QB, will go 1-3 before people declare him a bust and demand we start Stanton or Orlovsky. Lather, rinse, repeat. Tan | 39 19:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
and we have the will he or won't he in NY with Sanchez too. Now all of a sudden Clemens is ahead of the guy the Jets traded up to get. So trade the idea of pinning hopes on a former great for untested kid. Yeah, there's some logic, yet I trust Rex Ryan more than Mangini - and hey if they Jets flounder it's less attention on my boys :) Keeper, I thought about you when I was reading Tailgaiting, Sacks and Salary Caps talking about the old Met and what a great thing the Metrodome was meant to be and how they weren't sure how much life it had remaining. Needless to say that was written before they started work on the new nstadium. StarM 02:32, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

<outdent>Just as a general reminder to all: I'm a huge Twins fan. I watch every game. However, my RL schedule precludes me from watching most games at their scheduled times, hence the DVR. If anyone announces a Twins score (for example, I haven't watched tonights Baltimore/Twins game), they will be summarily banned from editing this page. I might be joking. I might not. Go Twins! Keeper | 76 04:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I dunno, I try to help, and I get attacked by people for no reason whatsoever. Malleus went straight for the attack on me; I've tried my best to get on with him, but his pointless rudeness to me is seriously causing my desire to contribute to diminish. There was no need at all for the way he responded to me, none whatsoever. He misunderstood something I wrote, and decided to call me names and ridicule me in defence. Seriously annoyed by this. – How do you turn this on ( talk) 03:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Keeper This was a particularly hard Nom to write. Like I said a few days ago, it really would have been a LOT easier to write a strong oppose than a strong support. I probably wouldn't have spent the time investigating him if he didn't get some endorsements above (eg Moni3.) I also wouldn't have supported if he didn't explicitly state that he has tough skin... IMO, this is an RfA that should pass, but because of the nature of the area he worked in, I'm not taking anything for granted.--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 04:12, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I have a personal respect for you, and no matter how you !vote, I would value your review and opinion of my work... - Adolphus79 ( talk) 01:02, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Saw this and for some reason thought of you… The BBC's an unquestionable reliable source (and here's another to make sufficient multiple RSs); two points in the Wikipedia MMORPG to any TPS who can make an article out of that. Five points and an unblock for the vandal of your choice should it survive AfD. This video is the most unintentionally peculiar thing I've seen since this exercise in surrealism, too. – iride scent 00:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Nope wasn't me, I was convinced I was a rare survivor of Captain Tripps so didn't go last week. I still haven't updated my codecs to watch the video but it's totally RfA, not riffa. It's also an Eff A Cue -- not a Fack (FAQ) StarM 04:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Somehow I only managed to read the second half of this thread last night, not even realizing there was a whole other first half.
(outdent). Tan... is Tan, because I never remember the rest of his syllables and have no idea how he should be pronounced. I also ignore his number. Iri is Iri because I invariably misspell the rest of the syllables. JClemens--yes, although I don't know that assocation is a good one in recent years. Giggy is Giggy because it's infinitely easier to speall than DHO, which was what he was when he was his full name. Easiest to pronounce are: Keeper (again where are 1-75) and Brewcrewer. StarM 22:37, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
…could someone have a look at the strange shenanigans at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sebastian Cole and offer their own opinions and/or try to make sense of the mess? (This isn't canvassing – although I nominated this AFD it was purely procedural, and I have never heard of him, expect never to hear of him again, and have no opinion one way or the other on whether it gets kept.) – iride scent 15:30, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to do a Very Bad Thing and breach policy here by linking to an attack page, but "speechless" doesn't do justice to my reaction on seeing this. I thought I'd seen every variation of "personal attack", but this is… well… something else. To anyone else thinking of violating the mighty WP:CIV, I think the bar just got raised. – iride scent 18:18, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm looking for a bit of advice from either Keeps, TPS'ers or both! I've just come across this, this and this. I'm very unsure about what action (if any) I should take! Its seems that this user could be violating WP:MYSPACE, however he's only 9 and not really hurting anybody. Should I consider taking this to MfD, just leave it alone or ask a Sysop to review it?

(EC)I had an interest in Everyme's activity - it was an AN section I started that lead to his block. I'm not jumping up and down because it escalated to an indef block, and I simply answered because I was under the impression Everyme was not planning to return, as he had requested all of his subpages deleted and traces of him removed. If I offended you because I responded rather than him, than I apologize because it wasn't meant in a way to put him down. Grsz 11 03:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
He made a harassing on an IP, and didn't put his username there. I group of disruptive socks had just (hours earlier) been blocked and I assumed this was in that group and tagged the talk page. It wasn't until after I did that that he added his username, and then he went to my talk. Grsz 11 04:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
I took a look at the conclusion you came to on Everyme's talk page and while they are reasonable points I hope Everyme does not burn you. If you are a good friend of his then I would recommend you keep him from the Obama page and related articles. Due to the level of passion that the presidential election stirred up, the page normally sees about a couple different trolls a week all pushing for some absurd point that just has to be added to the article. While you may know Everyme and can vouch for him, he came to that page with lots of passion and would not try to compromise with the rest of the consensus (He kept brandying about a rule that he thought trumped everything else). Lastly the other reason I'm passing this note to you to keep Everyme away from all Obama related articles is that all of them are under a special probation due to the amount of trolls passionately pushing for one absurd point or another. If he edits respectfully and works with consensus instead of fighting a very steep uphill battle, then he'll do just fine. Yet, if he reverts back to his old ways then the special probation clicks back in with a much worse block then three weeks his original block was.
Finally, while I like your idea of everyone backing off for a bit, I think the real thing to say is that everyone should not be as passionate over Obama. As I mentioned above, the article sees lots of people every day trying to add obscure information, weird theories, or straight election spin attacks to the page. Before the probation and the semi protection the article looked more like an article out of conservipedia. A lot of editors worked very hard to clean up the page and bring it back to the FA status. Plus these same editors (Due to the fact that most people did not want to to touch the article) worked hard to keep the article at FA status under the onslaught of editors who just "felt" and "knew" that various small attacks had to be put in. These editors also saw various people fighting for "the truth." Now that the election is over most of those editors have calmed down a lot and a bunch of other editors have also come in to help monitor the article. Yet, these new editors also carry they same viewpoints as the original editors and of wikipedia as a whole in that the article should conform to NPOV despite what the trolls say. Everything that is on that page has been weighed as to importance to Obama's life and then added to the summary style article. So everyone has already calmed down. It it's when a troll or a person who acts like a troll (I.E. Everyme's behavior) appears on the page, then everyone's hackles start to rise again. So while the normal people should not let their hackles rise, people with passionate views like Everyme should also give it up and relax a bit and look at the much larger picture then their narrow viewpoints.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you can mentor Everyme into keeping his cool when consensus is not moving his way. Brothejr ( talk) 10:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello Keeper76! I just wanted to wish you and your family a merry Christmas! May this Christmas be full of great cheer and holiday spirit. Have a great day and a wonderful New Year, from The Bald One White cat 11:25, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Happy New Year! | ||
Hey there, Keeper76! Happy new
Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;)
Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh. |

It's not much to thank you for the kindness you showed me when I started out, but I don't have a lot in Wiki-space to give. In the last year I've managed to dip into many of the delights that Wikipedia has to offer (found a collaborator, User:Gene Hobbs; got an article to GA; fought at AfD; argued at MOSNUM; and even did a bit of wiki-gnoming: fixing links that went to a dab-page). So it's been a fascinating time; I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have. Here's to many more! -- RexxS ( talk) 03:17, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Keeper,
I noticed that you reverted my edits to wikilink "as of 2009" on the RFK assassination (today's FA). The
MoS still says for linking this, using the template {{
As of}}
, which links it and removes the link for non-logged in users/anons; see
WP:AO for more info on this. I've updated the lead with the "as of" template now, just FYI. Thanks -

I think I expected more shit on my talk, but I'm enough under the radar that people either a) don't know who I am b)know that I don't generally nom and c) don't care... either way, I'm happy about that.

The "Folically Challenged One" says hello Dr. Blofeld White cat 20:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Malleus, I think that's a little uncalled for. To some, Eco came across as nothing but a polite content creator. I have no patience for "he said ___ in a chat log" because in the end, that can all be forged. Was he brusque at times? Yes, but having worked in ESL I've seen that among many non-native speakers. If he hadn't admitted that he'd done what SDJ said - we'd have no proof of that either. Not once did I see proof of what he did or didn't do -- smart enough to keep it off Wiki? Maybe. Polite to many and ol school polite to women -- without a doubt. Eco was one hell of a content creator and in clearing out the backlog the last few days, I really miss his contributions and throwing articles to him to fix. StarM 00:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
(Comment to StarM and others) To be honest, there were things about him that just didn't hang together somehow, though it is difficult to put my finger on them enough to articulate them. That's why I asked the optional question I asked, and its answer just threw a bit more unease my way: not that the content of the answer was poor (excepting his large slip up in ascribing a bias in myself that clearly wasn't there on any evidence offered), but just that it wasn't consistent with other things I had seen him do and read about him: his response didn't fit well with the actions of someone who came across as an editor he seemed to admire and encourage in a couple of messages, but who had been a guilty party in exactly the edit-warring situation I had described in an "abstract" way (see Talk:Ayn Rand if you want to see the actual example I used for the model situation I described.) Now his interactions with this editor may well have just been him buttering them up to vote for him, but this then just made it worse. That is why I had not given any response by the time it all collapsed. It was too "fishy", and I couldn't describe the source of the bad smell, though I suspected it might have been that he was not describing himself when he was talking about what he would do. If so, then if he was as convincing at masking that as he appeared to be with all the votes in favour of him, then what else would he be capable of, given the other concerns people had? I thought. That taken with the error of assuming motives and bias in his answer made it unlikely that I could vote "Support"; the issue was whether it would have been "Neutral" as opposed to "Oppose", and that depended on whether I felyt it important that he was prevented from being adminned rather than not opposed. Well, as it turned out, we now know what was true. DDStretch (talk) 00:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
DDStretch and Keep, interesting points. I don't know what I'd have done if Husond had provided on-wiki diffs or other proof. No, I don't count e-mails or chat logs to arbs or whomever as "proof" because they can be so easily forged. If all that had remained were unsubstantiated claims, I think the RfA would probably have passed. Husond's oppose didn't generate a lot of follow on opposes and while there were a good number of legit opposes raised (I consider most legit, even if I don't agree with them), there were also a lot of supports. In the end, Eco tanked his own RfA and that's something I'd like to ask why. His 2nd RfA was likely headed to failure but this one was still in the 80s and I think would have passed. In a lot of ways, I think a lot of RfAs at the one year mark might be similar because who doesn't attract some who disagree the more time they spend on wiki? It's a natural matter of course, I think. The interesting thing here -- what Eco ultimately did to SDJ was clearly wrong... but that wasn't a clear case of one-sided action either. SDJ lucked out, he got out of the spotlight because what Eco did was worse. But what it ultimately boiled down to was two men (judging by SDJ's name, I think he's male -- I know Eco is) acting like junior high boys. And what does that say for all the ageism in RfA. You get adults who can't act it either, and that's just sad. Oh well, it's over and done. We've filled our drama quotient this month. On the plus side, it's gotten me back to work, something I haven't done in months. I still miss Wikicite and wish there were a Mac version because I hate having to know/use templates so I don't end up working on content. StarM 05:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Haven't talked to you for a long while. Miss seeing you around Wikipedia/mainspace. bibliomaniac 1 5 04:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I don't know if EVula would be good to go for. He doesn't really like me right now, and it might be bad seeing as I am the fake nom of the fake RfA. Instead, I'm thinking that if this hits 100, we should take it straight to either the boss man or ArbCom and ask for immediate appointment. :) Ottava Rima ( talk) 05:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Not sure what the edit was about anyways. A company in your part of the universe is pursuing me for an executive position in their company. Having lived in Minneapolis for a few months many years ago, I'm well aware of the good points and bad points (cold, no decent food, everyone tall and blonde). So, to remind myself how cold it is, I put Minneapolis in my weather program on my iPhone. When a city's high temperature has a negative in front of it, and the low temperature can freeze nitrogen (OK, I exaggerate, but just barely), I'm going to guess there are no palm trees lining the streets of Minnetonka. Of course, I remember in the summer, flocks of mosquitoes carried away babies and small dogs. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 16:34, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Keeper, I always drop by a talk page when I say something in a thread that someone might interpret as a put-down ... I never consciously put anyone down on Wikipedia, and I want to make sure we're clear. I talked about people talking with "moral authority" at WT:RFA#Arbitrary break about how arbitrarily everyone is dismissing keepscase's perspective. I agree with you that people should never be silenced or put down on Wikipedia, but I also support the idea of looking at anything that would improve RFA, looking for consensus, and writing it down. My sense is that consensus is leaning in the direction of letting people ask whatever question they want to at RFA, but that whatever it is that's making people uncomfortable might be dealt with by letting candidates know in the RFA instructions that it's a minority position that "silly" questions are useful in RFAs. Whatever your position is, I'd appreciate your input in the thread. (Watchlisting) - Dan Dank55 ( send/receive) 18:38, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Keeper. I was introduced to you by Collectonian ( talk · contribs), who commented that you had copyedited the Naruto character list before it was sent to FLC, which it passed. I saw the "Wikibreak" tag on the top of your page and asked Malleus Fatuorum ( talk · contribs) instead, but since Malleus is busy with another Anime episode list at this time, I thought it might be a good idea to ask you. I have two lists that I am looking to send to FLC in the near future: List of Adventures of Mini-Goddess episodes and List of Oh My Goddess! episodes. Since thingg ( talk · contribs) is looking at List of Adventures of Mini-Goddess episodes, could you take a look at List of Oh My Goddess! episodes and copyedit it?

Re your post... It's entirely true that WT:RFA is pointless and a time sink, primarily for people who want to be admins and admins who can't get away.

Heh. First Biblio, now Rlevse. Apparently all I had to do was stop all major editing for 6 months, then I get days named after me. :-) I should run for crat! Keeper | 76 13:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
albeit not the kind I liked. I was at the Stadium and stayed until the very last out. Also seriously? Some really ass backwards division standings. StarM 02:52, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Would it really have killed them to play a bit better today? and why on earth am I scoreboard watching in April? StarM 01:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Keeper, I was going to write you a note, but I see you're on a long wiki-break. Oh well, if you do stop by, I left a note on Moni3's talk page here you might be interested in. Hope you're enjoying your break. Take Care. — Ched : ? 16:11, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Like them both, CitiField surprised me more I think, maybe because I hadn't paid attn to construction and obsessive commentary. Really reminds me of photos of Ebbets. Yankees/Sox see-saw is killing me but may I remind Sox fans, it's April and there are 17+ games remaining between them and ~140 in the season. Actually less Sox fans than stupid announcers predicting World Series now. StarM 23:16, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Oiii. How come you don't keep in good contact with Fritzpoll anymore? Dr. Blofeld White cat 21:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about that, it looks like I tripped over you on the protection of Arsenio Hall. Just letting you know that I wasn't trying to second-guess you or anything... Let me know if you'd rather go back to the original period of 3 days, it's not a big deal to me either way. Alexius Horatius 05:02, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Hey there Keeper - been a long time. Nice to see you active :-) I was wondering if you - or any TPSers - know how to take a standard list (such as those created by #s) and make it into two columns. I have a long list that would be better in a two- or three-column format. Let me know if you have any ideas... Tan | 39 18:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, I hope boom, but given the Lions draft history, I'd bet the paycheck on bust. He's going to be starting behind Culpepper, who everyone is raving about because he lost 25 pounds in the offseason. I don't recall a single instance anywhere in the annals of the NFL where a washed-up player made a roaring comeback simply because he put down the fork for a few months. This means that as soon as the Lions lose three straight (which will happen fast), Detroit fans will clamor to start Stafford. Stafford, who would have benefited from two years behind a stellar QB, will go 1-3 before people declare him a bust and demand we start Stanton or Orlovsky. Lather, rinse, repeat.

and we have the will he or won't he in NY with Sanchez too. Now all of a sudden Clemens is ahead of the guy the Jets traded up to get. So trade the idea of pinning hopes on a former great for untested kid. Yeah, there's some logic, yet I trust Rex Ryan more than Mangini - and hey if they Jets flounder it's less attention on my boys :) Keeper, I thought about you when I was reading Tailgaiting, Sacks and Salary Caps talking about the old Met and what a great thing the Metrodome was meant to be and how they weren't sure how much life it had remaining. Needless to say that was written before they started work on the new nstadium. StarM 02:32, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Holy hell. I had this same question on this same day. Craziness. Next time I'll just ask here... or, damn, I can do it on my own talk page, I bet. Blondes. >_> لenna vecia 03:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
for shame, imo. [6] i don't even watch basebell!!! – xeno talk 00:32, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone else hate the fact that this dude went to the Evil Empire, and does anyone else like that that team is not doing good right now? :) — Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:51, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
<outdent>Just as a general reminder to all: I'm a huge Twins fan. I watch every game. However, my RL schedule precludes me from watching most games at their scheduled times, hence the DVR. If anyone announces a Twins score (for example, I haven't watched tonights Baltimore/Twins game), they will be summarily banned from editing this page. I might be joking. I might not. Go Twins!

I admire your patience, I know I'd never have it if I DVRed so I end up watching, ewatching gameday if I'm near a computer or my BBerry, or just getting score StarM 12:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
