TTN got recently blocked because he honestly did not think his restrictions meant that he wasn't able to start a thread on a project notice board, myself and several other Wikipedians in good standing were under the same assumption. That's not gaming the system or pushing the limit, that's nothing more than miscommunication. TTN even pleaded with you guys to get some guidance, and you ignored the request for clarification for weeks. Now you come out of no where with a complete and total ban? That's a horrible idea. TTN has been behaving very well, and hasn't been doing anything wrong. The flames you see that you want to get rid of are nothing more than the left over feelings from the past, not because of things that are happening now.
And you come completely out of left field with a proposal to ban Kww, who hasn't even had any kind of RfC or mediation, or focus of any kind in the last two cases. It's like you're swinging around blindly, smashing furniture and breaking walls, just to put out a candle. I beg of you to reconsider your proposals. -- Ned Scott 02:19, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
I've reduced the block on Aimulti to 48 hours. I suspect he'll trip up pretty quickly as he's already put justifications for his personal attacks on his talk page. I'm going to ask you to please keep an eye on this guy when the block expires. Toddst1 ( talk) 05:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Your commitment to Wikijustice is honorable and I truly commend you for it. Toddst1 ( talk) 05:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC) |
I thought you might be interested in this and this. I have ceased my activity in an administrative capacity related to this issue. Toddst1 ( talk) 06:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Feel free to comment on this. Damn, I'm pissed. Kww ( talk) 02:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
With regard to the discussion you have been participating in at AFI 100 as an example, I would be grateful if you would make your views known regarding the inclusion of awards in Elements of fiction.-- Gavin Collins ( talk) 22:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Moving Wikinfo into the mainspace would probably require a substantial rewrite and some refocusing. A Wikipedia:Alternatives that lists and describes all the fork/alternative projects (Scholarpedia, Conservapedia, Wikinfo, whatever) might be better - we'd need to avoid the appearence that there's any official affliation or endorsement. Wily D 23:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
On 24 May 2008, 17:00 (UTC), Not the Wikipedia Weekly will host a special episode on start-up Wikipedias in African languages, and other information on Wikipedia around the world, with special guest: Gerard Meijssen of OmegaWiki, and the World Language Documentation Centre Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk) 00:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Following the original "keep" closure, a speedy deletion and reversion wheel 1, and a DRV; Talk:The weather in London is back at MFD again. If you are still interested in this page, please join in the discussion at: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Talk:The weather in London 2. (Note: notice sent to all editors of the first MFD that have not already been come in the new MFD.) Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 23:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Please would you make clear your comment "...Take that for what you will'" on the notice board? If that is addressed to me, you had better carefully have checked the situation before leaving the comment. -- Gulmammad ( talk) 13:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
for your comment. If this is an exception (that teachers use wiki as a host for class projects) would it be good to say that somewhere? As a member of the community and not knowing of exceptions, went ahead in good faith of the WP:NOT and don't know what happens now, Julia Rossi ( talk) 07:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Sure, I can restore it. Where would you like it? I won't create an intentionally orphaned talk page, but I'd be happy to restore it to a subpage or somewhere else. Let me know. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 17:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm not so sure. When one of the people voting against it says that he would rather see it be for six months, and tells me that there is no doubt that you and TTN are more responsible than others in this mess, I don't feel that way. I really don't know what reality these people are in ... even if you accepted that exclusionism was evil, ranking me as #2 just seems bizarre. Kww ( talk) 11:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Re: this. Are you referring to the general warning, or are you under the impression that I have been specifically named at some point? The only Arbcom case I have ever been a party to was as a complainant in the Sadi Carnot case. Kww ( talk) 01:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I'll ask you personally, since no one wants to answer the question. Was TTN breaking his restriction by starting a thread on a discussion page that happened to be on the project namespace? -- Ned Scott 22:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm interested to get a view on why exactly there is such a large jump from the restriction to a topic ban, when there was never any clarification on the restriction in the first place. Do you have the same opinion as Kirill Lokshin (that I should be restricted because other people cause drama when I'm around) or do you believe that I have truly have tried to push the wording of the restriction to its limits?
I really haven't done anything to try to get around it. The first thing I did "wrong" was list some articles for a single user to look over with a suggestion of redirecting them. I guess it wasn't the smartest thing to try, but there were no actions taken on it. I assumed that if single talk pages were fine outlets, that would be fine as well. Later, I was blocked for one week for removing content from articles, which was somehow interpreted to be deletion. I believe that lead to the first request for clarification. The original reason for the block seemed to have been thrown out, and it was later sustained because I had reverted two times on one of those articles (which seems rather steep to me). This is the start of the overall confusion.
I was later blocked for two weeks because I had started a few discussions on a project talk page and a noticeboard related to getting some articles merged. The reason for the block was the confusing wording of the restriction. At this point, I am still under the impression that I am able to do that based upon the restriction's wording. It seems that working with editors was supposed to be the goal. The second request for clarification was started at around the same time. It just seems rather strange that instead of just trying to help clarify for someone who is just mainly confused, all of you have just taken the route of "silencing" the side that has some small complaints about it (including the rather random proposal involving KWW). Also, is the current wording just for an indefinite topic ban or for the remainder of the initial restriction? TTN ( talk) 19:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I say this with all seriousness: I don't know what question you're talking about. I just restored the /draft redirect. Perhaps I'm missing something? -- MZMcBride ( talk) 00:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
P.S. In general, I try not to hold grudges in real life or on-wiki. I feel no resentment toward you whatsoever. I wish the same could be said for others...
I have posted a note on Masem's talk page regarding the new footnote which I removed. I don't think it is a good idea to qualify guidance in this this way: better to take the guidance out than water it down. Please reconsider restoring my edits; I think they make good sense. -- Gavin Collins ( talk) 07:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
So we're OK now, right? I know it's him, but you're right, I didn't leave much in the way of useful info for an unblock review, and Daniel's new enough I really should have suggested it to him. In addition to the pages he gave you at his talk page, see User:Barneca/watch/societyfinalclubs. There's still an unblock up, so I'll leave a pointer to that page there. -- barneca ( talk) 10:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
You said "Redirects for talk page archives should never be deleted" (MZMcBride's talk page). I'm not clear on this myself. Could you explain this some more? I think it depends on whether we are talking about redirects that have history or not, which doesn't include those that are created by moves to rename an archive page. Which are you talking about? See here for a request to redelete some talk page archive redirects. Are people misunderstanding each other here? Also, Orderinchaos redeleted some talk page archive redirects as "G8", which doesn't seem an accurate description to me. See here. Example is Template talk:Infobox Company/Archive004. What do you think? I think people apply different standards and that this causes half the confusion. Carcharoth ( talk) 10:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Your the only one who helped me understand what I was doing Wrong.And was suttle about it,I will be IM-ing you soon to ask a few questions to help me better understand,I been using Wikipedia since forever and just now started editing.
Thanks so much-- JackieTeal ( talk) 13:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
HEY NED, Why don't you actually do some fucking work on this encyclopedia! All you care about now is who is blocked/unblocked 69.143.227.107 ( talk) 05:18, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
The process is a cesspool. Do not make false claims about my "incivility". Thanks. Kyaa the Catlord ( talk) 07:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I am very happy with the outcome of this MfD, but I would like to discuss a little further a side topic which you raised: You say that most of the content of user and project space is full of OR, and I would agree that they contain OR in the sense of personal knowledge, but I am aware of little if anything like the subject user page. What that user page says is that the theory of relativity as understood by scientists is wrong. Can you point me to stuff remotely like that elsewhere? Would it have helped if I had called the user page soapboxing rather than OR? — teb728 t c 22:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
The redirects from these pages weren't to user pages similar to what's currently at {{ smile}}; they were to templates that basically boiled down to images of various emoticons, depending on the parameters. Thought you might like to know. — Cryptic 11:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Ned, in relation to your comments on my talk page a couple of days ago, I've set out a detailed explanation of events at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Request for appeal: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles. -- ChrisO ( talk) 21:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Kevin_Murray&oldid=220242364
I don't know why you're so obsessed with tagging this as rejected, but you need to stop. Past proposals have had very significant differences (as can be seen in User:Ned Scott/FICT), so they're certainly not the same arguments being made over and over. Since it's not currently a guideline, tagging it as rejected achieves nothing. The same editors will still be working on it, and they'll still make new proposals as necessary. -- Ned Scott 22:22, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, someone mentioned something about that. I chose to simply ignore that detail. Mr. Bouncy has been notified about his templates (by me and others) dozens of times. If someone is going to flood the Template: namespace with cruft, they should expect that it will be deleted. It should've been done ages ago, but I've been busy. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 08:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for jolting my memory - I remember editing the John Candy article to remove the redlink to Candy's widow, but I had completely forgotten that I had redirected the above article after editing the target (and I separated the nomination of the redirect from the set of Hashmi redirects because I was the one who did the edit on the target). I wrote a bit of the history after your post, not directing it to you but to the readers. If there is enough to establish Christopher Candy under WP:BIO, I would rather a standalone article on him exist. As to the redirect, I am neutral - wherever this goes, RfD or AfD, I'd rather that the community have a discussion on it regardless. B.Wind ( talk) 22:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey... sorry I never got around to those fixes I'd planned AGES ago, my tablet went on the fritz, and then Adobe Illustrator and editing the lineart in inkscape was a pain in the rear. I've uploaded a temp edit of what changes I managed to sort of achieve, though; some input would be nice as to whether it or the current version is best. I just changed her right leg and foot a bit, though I'm still not at all happy with the results; still I suppose it's better than nothing!
Thanks for the note and my sincere apologies again for not getting things done in a reasonably timely manner. -- Editor at Large • talk 21:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't feel it was a major over-reaction, Ned. The guy only wants to create an article about himself, and shows no understanding of the rules against self-aggrandizement (or the concept of capitalization). -- Orange Mike | Talk 13:47, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
You removed information from a page with this edit and the edit summary "yes, it really is that easy". But this fails to address the GFDL issue created by the material being copy/pasted and leaves the GFDL in history. Although we don't normally delete pages because of copyright issues in history unless requested by a copyright holder, we also don't want to unnecessarily create such situations. It is much better to ascertain whether there is a violation and then delete the page, restoring any non-offending text if possible. Thanks.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 21:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. However, I thought that even that won't allow you to export more than 100 revisions at a time. I actually ended up writing a script to repeatedly call the interface with all the required parameters to do the export 100 revisions at a time. -- Prod ( Talk) 03:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
As you are a nice Wikipedian, I just wanted to wish you a happy Independence Day! And if you are not an American, then have a happy day and a wonderful weekend anyway! :) Your friend and colleague, --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles Tally-ho! 00:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Ned, please do not remove or otherwise modify Giovanni's entry on the list. It is quite clearly an informative list. You do nothing by removing his name from there - he is currently indefinitely blocked. That may change, but until it does the list needs to be kept accurate for admin purposes.
There is a place to highlight your views (ANI) - engaging in vandalism and disruption will make your case harder to put across, not easier. John Smith's ( talk) 08:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Context is good. Link to the discussion and people can see when it happened and for how long. Maybe this will satisfy Kendick7. Jehochman Talk 04:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you liked my essay Wikipedia:Discussing cruft. Technically it is on wikipedia so it becomes everyone's essay. Could I trouble you for a copy edit? Thanks for keeping an eye on it! Problemchildlsd ( talk) 20:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Of course I cannot export images per se, but is there away for me to export images pages (ie mainly the licenses) so that I may save some time from those image uploads? This is especially so since I'm not using Wikia and hence cannot use Wikimedia Commons.-- Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 20:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note and my sincere apologies again for not getting things done in a reasonably timely manner. -- Editor at Large • talk 21:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't feel it was a major over-reaction, Ned. The guy only wants to create an article about himself, and shows no understanding of the rules against self-aggrandizement (or the concept of capitalization). -- Orange Mike | Talk 13:47, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
You removed information from a page with this edit and the edit summary "yes, it really is that easy". But this fails to address the GFDL issue created by the material being copy/pasted and leaves the GFDL in history. Although we don't normally delete pages because of copyright issues in history unless requested by a copyright holder, we also don't want to unnecessarily create such situations. It is much better to ascertain whether there is a violation and then delete the page, restoring any non-offending text if possible. Thanks.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 21:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. However, I thought that even that won't allow you to export more than 100 revisions at a time. I actually ended up writing a script to repeatedly call the interface with all the required parameters to do the export 100 revisions at a time. -- Prod ( Talk) 03:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
As you are a nice Wikipedian, I just wanted to wish you a happy Independence Day! And if you are not an American, then have a happy day and a wonderful weekend anyway! :) Your friend and colleague, --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles Tally-ho! 00:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Ned, please do not remove or otherwise modify Giovanni's entry on the list. It is quite clearly an informative list. You do nothing by removing his name from there - he is currently indefinitely blocked. That may change, but until it does the list needs to be kept accurate for admin purposes.
There is a place to highlight your views (ANI) - engaging in vandalism and disruption will make your case harder to put across, not easier. John Smith's ( talk) 08:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Context is good. Link to the discussion and people can see when it happened and for how long. Maybe this will satisfy Kendick7. Jehochman Talk 04:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you liked my essay Wikipedia:Discussing cruft. Technically it is on wikipedia so it becomes everyone's essay. Could I trouble you for a copy edit? Thanks for keeping an eye on it! Problemchildlsd ( talk) 20:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Of course I cannot export images per se, but is there away for me to export images pages (ie mainly the licenses) so that I may save some time from those image uploads? This is especially so since I'm not using Wikia and hence cannot use Wikimedia Commons.-- Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 20:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Yep, thought all changes were supposed to also change the div id #, if not feel free to fix! « Gonzo fan2007 ( talk ♦ contribs) @ 05:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
