A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television), and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 03:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I hadn't seen what she posted about you at WT:TV-NC when I rebuked you on the RFM page, and I might have shaded my comment slightly differently if I had. However, the fact that Elonka makes her comments "with a smile" actually does make a difference: in part, because it makes her position appear more reasonable. When you resort to name-calling, you weaken your position and strengthen your opponent's.
I didn't object to "We're not playing this game"; I objected to "We're not going to take this crap any more." I know that "crap" is a pretty mild expletive, but calling Elonka's tactics "crap" shows a lack of respect for your fellow editors. It would have been better to say something like "Elonka, this is unacceptable." or "Elonka, this is the same tired tactic you've used before." It may sound namby-pamby, but Wikipedia's civility policy is most important when you're in conflict with someone. So keep your cool and remember that the issue isn't really that important: there are no angry mastodons here.
And, for what it's worth, I got your note just after I saved a comment on WT:TV-NC telling Elonka that it wasn't fair to blame you for the guideline page being locked. I agree with you about the naming issue, and I'm tired of the argument too, but we need to work within Wikipedia's rules — and that means remaining civil, even if you feel you've been provoked. OK? — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 08:57, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I was asked to comment on this situation; I basically agree that we have to respect WP:CIV. No matter which side is right, the one that users profanities, or is otherwise not civil to their opponents is both worsening their case in the eyes of neutral editors, and creates a ground to accuse that party of civility violations (on WP:PAIN for example). Thus, my advice mirrors Josiah: be civil, be cool.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 20:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ned,
In this edit, you have removed a line from Wikipedia's article on the Electronicam, a DuMont camera which made it possible to record the performance both on film and television. In your edit summary, you wrote "speculation", but in fact, all but a few of DuMont's kinescope archive was destroyed, leaving only the 39 Honeymooners Electronicam films and handful of other episodes. Most people would be hard pressed to name even one DuMont-produced program. Thus, is is not speculation to say that the Honeymooners would be unknown today without the Electronicam system. I've reverted your change for now; feel free to contact me if you feel this is unfair. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 22:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello!
I have been warned by another administrator ( User:Khoikhoi) for posting this comment. User:Irpen has also posted a notice on Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Personal_attacks.2C_harrassment.2C_baiting_and_pestering_by_user:Oden. As you are one of the users mentioned in my comment I would value your input into this matter.
Your input in the matter would be noted with interest.
Sincerely, -- Oden 12:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ned. I was wondering about the list of episodes in the Lain article. My view was that since the table was too big, I'd do it according to the summary style guideline, and include an abridged (sp?) version in the main article. Please let me know what you think about it. Btw, since you're familiar with the article, could you take two minutes to voice an opinion at the FAC? Thanks-- SidiLemine 15:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
There is an IP troll that is currently reverting the redirect to ShineGreymon. The apparent consensus was to keep the article redirected because of lack of info. The troll, however, continues to ignore the consensus. His actions have led me to believe that the IP troll is a User:Pokemega32 sockpuppet. Help in this issue would be greatly appreciated. -- bulletproof 3:16 01:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
When replying to one of the comments about Lost on your talk page, I noticed Digimon stuff. This took me back a couple of years to when I was a huge fan. So I have dug out all my old videos and am watching them again, and am keen to get involved in the Wikiproject Digimon. So far I've done some small things like adding a summary box to Volcamon's page. If there is anything else I can do to help, please point me in the right direction. codu ( t/ c) 11:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Can you explain to me your merge of the SAC article with the GITS philosophy article?
Perhaps you can inform be better how a AfD resulting in 'no consensus' matches up with your merger... I am a pretty new user so I probably never got the right idea. I also commented on the talk page, but now that the pages overlap (am i incorrect) it might be hard to find. MrMacMan 06:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Then perhaps you'd like to comment at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 December 6#CAT1-X Hyperion Gundam series and related articles. — Doug Bell talk 21:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Ned, I hope that you can read my comments in the genuine positive spirit that they are intended: Overall, I think that you are a good editor. I see how hard you work, and how much you care about Wikipedia. It is my hope that you too have seen my own contrib history, and have noted how much I enjoy editing Wikipedia. If nothing else, I believe that we have that much in common, which is that we are both passionate about improving this amazing encyclopedia, even if sometimes we may disagree about the exact methods to use towards that goal. :)
We are also both very much interested in the Lost articles, so right there, we have not one but two things that we agree on. :)
Can we, perhaps, try to build on this? Instead of focusing on areas where we don't agree, can we focus on the fact that we have some very strong areas that we do agree? I'm confident that if we met in person, we'd probably have a very enjoyable conversation, as we shared our various experiences in wiki-editing. Please, I mean this very sincerely: Can we try to build on the things that we do agree on, acknowledge that we simply have very different editing and communication styles, and both try to work harder to figure out how to get along?
If you'll allow me to be philosophical for a moment: I believe that as human beings, there's a sometimes painful "team-building" process that occurs as a "group" of people, figures out whether or not they have what it takes to become a "team". One of the core elements of that process, is conflict -- specifically, whether or not these people can figure out ways to work through conflict. All humans disagree at times -- With a "group" of people, disagreement causes the group to fall apart. With a "team" of people, they figure out ways to work through the conflict, and it's my firm belief that once they can figure that out, the team can become very strong indeed.
With the things that you and I already have in common, I believe quite deeply that if we could figure out how to work through conflict, we could be a very very strong team. Please, I would much rather work with you, than against you. Will you please reconsider Josiah's mediation request? If nothing else, it's something new to try, to help us both try to figure out better ways of communicating, and I think that the entire project could benefit as a result. Sincerely, -- Elonka 22:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments about the proposed WikiProject. It probably wasn't a good idea, so I have delisted it. However, there is still a rather daunting task ahead of me/other users wishing to help. After the entire season 1 episode list got speedy deleted for copyright violations, the list has fallen into disarray (before I rewrote them all, 75%-80% of the episode summaries were copyvios) and some of the episodes have been speedied several times for copyright violations. Is there any place where I can ask for help, short of organizing anything special? Thanks, PullToOpen 19:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Ned Scott, thanks for welcoming me. Listen, I really do like Digimon, but I'm afraid to say I won't be adding any information to the articles. On the contrary, I'll be copy-editting any article that truly needs it. But I've noticed that every Digimon page that I've copy-editted is not tagged with {{ copyedit}}. What I'm saying is that we should place a copyedit tag on articles that need it, so that the article will be placed in the Copyedit backlog. God, the backlog is large enough, but if making a Digimon article look nicer, then so be it. We at the League of Copyeditors are working very hard to clear that backlog. And if someone sees a Digimon article, chances are that they will copy-edit it, and put it on the Articles Ready For Final Proofread on the project page. Once it's there, someone could read over it and fix any mistakes that were forgotten or missed, and then remove the copy-edit tag. Of course, I'm not saying that only people from the League of Copyeditors will copy-edit them, other people will too, and we'll just read over it and fix mistakes as well. In a nutshell, will you help me place copyedit tags on Digimon articles that need them? Thank you for your time. Have a nice day!
It's extremely bad policy not to tell people ahead of time, so yes, I'm mad about that. I'm mad, too, about the breaching of the seven-day rule, which is written in black and white. Such a flagrant breach is going to lose respect for the policy. Either everyone obeys all of the rules, or they're worth nothing. I certainly don't respect them any more. And don't start calling people dicks, or we'll be going to mediation. Tony 13:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Deletion log, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how Deletion log is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{ hangon}}, and also put a note on Talk:Deletion log saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions. As an additional note aside from that {{ repost-warn}} stuff, I've explained my rationale on the talk page so please respond there. BigNate37 (T) 21:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

FYI, I reverted your changes to Template:Infobox TV ratings. I was watching South Park, pulled up the South Park article, and the ratings box was almost as wide as the entire page. I think it's because the Canada entry on that page is so long. Anyway, I reverted your template edits and that fixed the width so I left it reverted. Odd coincidence that it happened to come back to you! — Wknight94 ( talk) 04:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ned,
I see you reverted my recent edit in ADHD talk page. Yes: I know Baughman personally, though I have nothing to do with that organization. Anyway, in a rush to rebut Scuro I spoke more than I should in that page.
I guess I’m not breaking WP policy if I try to remove what I have said previously. Don’t you agree?
-- Cesar Tort 04:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Ned, I just wanted to ask you about your recent edit to List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes. I know that you were assuming good faith by using the other template for the episodes (thereby effectively removing the DVD cover images), but I'm not sure if that was the best thing to do. The version prior to your edit contained images of the DVD covers, which, graphically speaking, enhanced the article significantly (as they did in part of List of Oh My Goddess episodes).
I also noticed that you had commented on the FLC regarding the issue of the DVD covers. I think that it might be best to discuss this on the talk page and achieve some sort of consensus on whether the images should be removed or not. Perhaps they could be replaced with screencaps of the episodes, if that is still a feasible solution. Retaining the DVD covers is an alternative solution as well; your idea with User:Ned Scott/sandbox2 was a wonderful suggestion. But hey, thanks for being bold, taking the helm, and following through with what you were doing. Thanks! ;) — † Webdinger BLAH | SZ 04:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I would, but then it would throw off those merges on the List of Digimon. I usually prefer those said articles separate to avoid a mega redirect. Rtkat3 ( talk) 6:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Ned, I finally caught up with what was happening on the writing about fiction page - a lot has gone on in a short time! I sometimes wonder why what seems like a small number of people are so protective of a page that isn't that hot. I find it fairly poorly written and focussed on the negative, rather than being an instructional guide. Oh well.

It is just impossible to assume good faith in the actions taken by the deletionist. What is currently happening is just like the dark ages, burn them, its something we have never heard of before, it must be heresy. With people making up rules, saying nothing counts as sources, and trying to blame people who have just a little more than a month to work on hundreds of articles, they are being personal attack removed themselves. Especially the one who nominated dozens of articles during another AfD process saying that one is nominated as a precedent to delete others. So, they want to improve wikipedia? How? creating gigantic merged articles of 137 kb long, without even deleting the templates? MythSearcher talk 03:20, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Reading the talk at WP:GUNDAM, it would now appear that they are saying they are perfectly fine with the articles going that I would have go, and the ones staying that I would have stay in the first place. MER-C nominated the wrong articles: he nommed one of the ones that should stay.
Perhaps you might like to reconsider some of your votes? Certainly the don't provide an actual reason for keeping other than a lot of nomination occurred at once. Moreschi Deletion! 08:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I hadn't seen what she posted about you at WT:TV-NC when I rebuked you on the RFM page, and I might have shaded my comment slightly differently if I had. However, the fact that Elonka makes her comments "with a smile" actually does make a difference: in part, because it makes her position appear more reasonable. When you resort to name-calling, you weaken your position and strengthen your opponent's.
I didn't object to "We're not playing this game"; I objected to "We're not going to take this crap any more." I know that "crap" is a pretty mild expletive, but calling Elonka's tactics "crap" shows a lack of respect for your fellow editors. It would have been better to say something like "Elonka, this is unacceptable." or "Elonka, this is the same tired tactic you've used before." It may sound namby-pamby, but Wikipedia's civility policy is most important when you're in conflict with someone. So keep your cool and remember that the issue isn't really that important: there are no angry mastodons here.
And, for what it's worth, I got your note just after I saved a comment on WT:TV-NC telling Elonka that it wasn't fair to blame you for the guideline page being locked. I agree with you about the naming issue, and I'm tired of the argument too, but we need to work within Wikipedia's rules — and that means remaining civil, even if you feel you've been provoked.

I was asked to comment on this situation; I basically agree that we have to respect WP:CIV. No matter which side is right, the one that users profanities, or is otherwise not civil to their opponents is both worsening their case in the eyes of neutral editors, and creates a ground to accuse that party of civility violations (on WP:PAIN for example).

Hi Ned,
In this edit, you have removed a line from Wikipedia's article on the Electronicam, a DuMont camera which made it possible to record the performance both on film and television. In your edit summary, you wrote "speculation", but in fact, all but a few of DuMont's kinescope archive was destroyed, leaving only the 39 Honeymooners Electronicam films and handful of other episodes. Most people would be hard pressed to name even one DuMont-produced program. Thus, is is not speculation to say that the Honeymooners would be unknown today without the Electronicam system. I've reverted your change for now; feel free to contact me if you feel this is unfair. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 22:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ned. I was wondering about the list of episodes in the Lain article. My view was that since the table was too big, I'd do it according to the summary style guideline, and include an abridged (sp?) version in the main article. Please let me know what you think about it. Btw, since you're familiar with the article, could you take two minutes to voice an opinion at the FAC? Thanks-- SidiLemine 15:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
There is an IP troll that is currently reverting the redirect to ShineGreymon. The apparent consensus was to keep the article redirected because of lack of info. The troll, however, continues to ignore the consensus. His actions have led me to believe that the IP troll is a User:Pokemega32 sockpuppet. Help in this issue would be greatly appreciated. -- bulletproof 3:16 01:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
When replying to one of the comments about Lost on your talk page, I noticed Digimon stuff. This took me back a couple of years to when I was a huge fan. So I have dug out all my old videos and am watching them again, and am keen to get involved in the Wikiproject Digimon. So far I've done some small things like adding a summary box to Volcamon's page. If there is anything else I can do to help, please point me in the right direction. codu ( t/ c) 11:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Can you explain to me your merge of the SAC article with the GITS philosophy article?
Perhaps you can inform be better how a AfD resulting in 'no consensus' matches up with your merger... I am a pretty new user so I probably never got the right idea. I also commented on the talk page, but now that the pages overlap (am i incorrect) it might be hard to find. MrMacMan 06:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Then perhaps you'd like to comment at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 December 6#CAT1-X Hyperion Gundam series and related articles. — Doug Bell talk 21:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Ned, I hope that you can read my comments in the genuine positive spirit that they are intended: Overall, I think that you are a good editor. I see how hard you work, and how much you care about Wikipedia. It is my hope that you too have seen my own contrib history, and have noted how much I enjoy editing Wikipedia. If nothing else, I believe that we have that much in common, which is that we are both passionate about improving this amazing encyclopedia, even if sometimes we may disagree about the exact methods to use towards that goal. :)
We are also both very much interested in the Lost articles, so right there, we have not one but two things that we agree on. :)
Can we, perhaps, try to build on this? Instead of focusing on areas where we don't agree, can we focus on the fact that we have some very strong areas that we do agree? I'm confident that if we met in person, we'd probably have a very enjoyable conversation, as we shared our various experiences in wiki-editing. Please, I mean this very sincerely: Can we try to build on the things that we do agree on, acknowledge that we simply have very different editing and communication styles, and both try to work harder to figure out how to get along?
If you'll allow me to be philosophical for a moment: I believe that as human beings, there's a sometimes painful "team-building" process that occurs as a "group" of people, figures out whether or not they have what it takes to become a "team". One of the core elements of that process, is conflict -- specifically, whether or not these people can figure out ways to work through conflict. All humans disagree at times -- With a "group" of people, disagreement causes the group to fall apart. With a "team" of people, they figure out ways to work through the conflict, and it's my firm belief that once they can figure that out, the team can become very strong indeed.
With the things that you and I already have in common, I believe quite deeply that if we could figure out how to work through conflict, we could be a very very strong team. Please, I would much rather work with you, than against you. Will you please reconsider Josiah's mediation request? If nothing else, it's something new to try, to help us both try to figure out better ways of communicating, and I think that the entire project could benefit as a result. Sincerely, -- Elonka 22:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments about the proposed WikiProject. It probably wasn't a good idea, so I have delisted it. However, there is still a rather daunting task ahead of me/other users wishing to help. After the entire season 1 episode list got speedy deleted for copyright violations, the list has fallen into disarray (before I rewrote them all, 75%-80% of the episode summaries were copyvios) and some of the episodes have been speedied several times for copyright violations. Is there any place where I can ask for help, short of organizing anything special? Thanks, PullToOpen 19:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Ned Scott, thanks for welcoming me. Listen, I really do like Digimon, but I'm afraid to say I won't be adding any information to the articles. On the contrary, I'll be copy-editting any article that truly needs it. But I've noticed that every Digimon page that I've copy-editted is not tagged with {{ copyedit}}. What I'm saying is that we should place a copyedit tag on articles that need it, so that the article will be placed in the Copyedit backlog. God, the backlog is large enough, but if making a Digimon article look nicer, then so be it. We at the League of Copyeditors are working very hard to clear that backlog. And if someone sees a Digimon article, chances are that they will copy-edit it, and put it on the Articles Ready For Final Proofread on the project page. Once it's there, someone could read over it and fix any mistakes that were forgotten or missed, and then remove the copy-edit tag. Of course, I'm not saying that only people from the League of Copyeditors will copy-edit them, other people will too, and we'll just read over it and fix mistakes as well. In a nutshell, will you help me place copyedit tags on Digimon articles that need them? Thank you for your time. Have a nice day!
It's extremely bad policy not to tell people ahead of time, so yes, I'm mad about that. I'm mad, too, about the breaching of the seven-day rule, which is written in black and white. Such a flagrant breach is going to lose respect for the policy. Either everyone obeys all of the rules, or they're worth nothing. I certainly don't respect them any more. And don't start calling people dicks, or we'll be going to mediation. Tony 13:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Deletion log, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how Deletion log is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{ hangon}}, and also put a note on Talk:Deletion log saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions. As an additional note aside from that {{ repost-warn}} stuff, I've explained my rationale on the talk page so please respond there. BigNate37 (T) 21:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

FYI, I reverted your changes to Template:Infobox TV ratings. I was watching South Park, pulled up the South Park article, and the ratings box was almost as wide as the entire page. I think it's because the Canada entry on that page is so long. Anyway, I reverted your template edits and that fixed the width so I left it reverted.

Hi Ned,
I see you reverted my recent edit in ADHD talk page. Yes: I know Baughman personally, though I have nothing to do with that organization. Anyway, in a rush to rebut Scuro I spoke more than I should in that page.
I guess I’m not breaking WP policy if I try to remove what I have said previously. Don’t you agree?

Hi, Ned, I just wanted to ask you about your recent edit to List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes. I know that you were assuming good faith by using the other template for the episodes (thereby effectively removing the DVD cover images), but I'm not sure if that was the best thing to do. The version prior to your edit contained images of the DVD covers, which, graphically speaking, enhanced the article significantly (as they did in part of List of Oh My Goddess episodes).
I also noticed that you had commented on the FLC regarding the issue of the DVD covers. I think that it might be best to discuss this on the talk page and achieve some sort of consensus on whether the images should be removed or not. Perhaps they could be replaced with screencaps of the episodes, if that is still a feasible solution. Retaining the DVD covers is an alternative solution as well; your idea with User:Ned Scott/sandbox2 was a wonderful suggestion. But hey, thanks for being bold, taking the helm, and following through with what you were doing. Thanks! ;) — † Webdinger BLAH | SZ 04:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Ned, I finally caught up with what was happening on the writing about fiction page - a lot has gone on in a short time! I sometimes wonder why what seems like a small number of people are so protective of a page that isn't that hot. I find it fairly poorly written and focussed on the negative, rather than being an instructional guide. Oh well.

It is just impossible to assume good faith in the actions taken by the deletionist. What is currently happening is just like the dark ages, burn them, its something we have never heard of before, it must be heresy. With people making up rules, saying nothing counts as sources, and trying to blame people who have just a little more than a month to work on hundreds of articles, they are being personal attack removed themselves. Especially the one who nominated dozens of articles during another AfD process saying that one is nominated as a precedent to delete others. So, they want to improve wikipedia? How? creating gigantic merged articles of 137 kb long, without even deleting the templates? MythSearcher talk 03:20, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Reading the talk at WP:GUNDAM, it would now appear that they are saying they are perfectly fine with the articles going that I would have go, and the ones staying that I would have stay in the first place. MER-C nominated the wrong articles: he nommed one of the ones that should stay.
Perhaps you might like to reconsider some of your votes? Certainly the don't provide an actual reason for keeping other than a lot of nomination occurred at once. Moreschi Deletion! 08:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
