Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :) iMatthew talk at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Nice work on your rewrite thus far (I look forward to seeing if you keep to your deadline!). Empire has a short interview with Michael Sheen here in which he briefly mentions Davies' work at youth theatre if you want to incorporate it. Bradley0110 ( talk) 17:35, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you again for your support of the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Preliminary statistics indicate that 129 new articles were created, 203 other articles were improved, and 183 images were uploaded. Additionally, 41 articles were nominated for DYK, of which at least 2 have already been promoted. There are currently also 8 articles up for GA status and 3 up for FA/FL status. Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status. You may find the following links helpful in nominating your work:

There is a meaningful difference between a neutral article about a slur on an individual, and an attack page which fulfils the speedy delete criterion. I suggest you open a discussion at WP:MfD, and stop reverting my user talk page. PhilKnight ( talk) 10:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey Sceptre,
I've read in your page, in the "things you can do" list that the articles "Avshalom Haviv" and "Gaza War" need an improvement. As a Hebrew speaker I can add information to these articles but the problem is that I don't get the problem in these articles. Avshalom Haviv's article mainly focuses on his achievements even though the British Mandate considered him a terrorist. Che Guevara was considered a terrorist, Nathan Hale was considered a terrorist and Camille Desmoulins was was considered a terrorist. Today, they are heroes of millions of people, and their crimes are mentioned in a tiny chapter under the title "Capture and execution" or "The Trial and Verdict", just like Haviv. I'll be happy to hear your opinion, -- Etai han ( talk) 17:36, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate the hard work you are putting into Doctor Who campfire trailer, but "the people have spoken" on this issue twice, and there needs to be more discussion before permanently restoring the article. I would encourage you to keep improving the article. If you do, either turn it back to a redirect at the end of each edit session, or put some kind of a note at the top saying it is a temporary page pending the outcome of a rescue discussion, and put a reasonable deadline for the discussion. Bear in mind that if there is no new consensus, "default=previous consensus."

What are you talking about? I havent been editing the heroes article. And the page clearly violates the rule od verifiability. — Matey Ahoy 02:40, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Look I am a new member here but have been trying very hard to follow the rules over this.
Please explain why I am being cited for disruptive edits when I have made no recent edits and have been providing verifiable information. Thank You — Matey Ahoy 02:59, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Wow... I didnt know you could be disrutive on a talk page. I thought talk pages were there to avoid disruptive activities.....
So I am being banned from editing, because I presented what you consider to be disruptive information on the talk page...... I am now really confused as to the purpose of talk pages :(
Please explain how presenting verifiable information on a talk page, then supporting the information is disruptive. Thank You — Matey Ahoy 04:41, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Do you think your friendship with "Thedemonhog" might be making you biased? Co-authored with thedemonhog. :) — Matey Ahoy 07:13, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Sceptre, I commend you for your efforts in this matter. The fact is Mateyahoy, you staked your claim on a position that the majority (if not all) of the editors involved with this article are apposed to. You tried time and time again through multiple efforts to convince us and you failed. It should have ended there but oh no, god forbid you should give up without a fight. You kept hammering at it until you took it too far. You might have done your best to keep an editing war from arising and that is appreciate, but in the process you used methods that alienated yourself from the rest of this particular group of editors. You can go on and on till the cows come home about how you were trying to help the site, but all you did was hurt it. How, because you hurt your position with fellow editors. Part of what allows a site to develop is the comradery amongst fellow editors because by developing a sense of trust, people gain a better sense of judgement. The little trials and tribulations that occur here and there allow for an eventual building of that trust. What you did has greatly impaired our trust in your editing judgement in this matter, and I am afraid it may be a long time before you can show us you are trustworthy again. We all make mistakes, but you just perpetuated yours and dug a hole for yourself too deep to get out of for a long time. If I were you, I'd stick to minor edits for a while and work your way back up to the big stuff. Otherwise you might find yourself in a worse position than your are already in - blocked!

I have taken the bold step of collapsing and resolving the thread you started. If you'd like to join my attempt to resolve the matter at Kmweber's user talk page, consider yourself welcome to do so. Nothing good would come of a premature ban proposal at this point. Durova 362 04:59, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) Nope, that cuts no ice. You started the ban proposal subthread with a header stating you were reigniting it. You knew it would be contentious and your own posts here express disgust with how many people put up with him. What you were doing was initiating a self-defeating drama fest. And you tried as hard as you could to relight that flame several times--to the point where you could have been blocked for disruptive edit warring. I've been around the block long enough to know when someone is setting themselves up to fail politically in order to indulge in I'm right and you're all wrong chest-beating. It can be cathartic, but Wikipedia is not an appropriate venue for that game. This is a serious website. And if you're serious, get the rectum off the pot and join me at Kurt Weber's user talk page.

Re: this edit; you were right to revert (because the previous edit messed up some references, and other multi-part serials with a single title in the table are listed only once), but your edit summary suggests that you haven't seen the latest from the BBC.

Seriously though, I obviously don't believe that a speedy keep is appropriate, but more importantly the potential perception of conflict and the fact that an early closure is more likely to induce "drama" then allowing the discussion to occur lead me to ask you to change your mind.

Please see my comment on the talk page. I think we'll all do well to tone things down a bit there. I understand where you're coming from, and in normal conversation words like "shitstorm" are good because maybe that's what it is. But it tends to have the opposite effect, making things more contentious rather than less. The page now has the attention of AN/I, and if we're not careful things from early this year could start replaying. Group hugs and all that. It'll work itself out sooner or later. - Wikidemon ( talk) 05:27, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Hiya Scept. I wasn't comfortable with the second part of your edit to this page, but feel free to revert. What you said wasn't technically wrong, but I think we have to be careful with analogies; people grab onto words and run with them. I don't want people thinking that what we're defining as harassment on this page is the same thing as felonious behavior, they will get completely the wrong idea.

Dear Sceptre, I wanted to write you in regards to your comment on Alison's user talk page. I want to state here that I am completely unfamiliar with your reference to my abuse of "Phaedriel's" account. From what I remember, s/he was a really good editor/mentor/friend of several Wikipedians. Any abuse connected to Encyclopedist or any of my accounts is simply false.

You're walking a fine line there. If you're going to ignore the 3RR for what you claim to be a BLP vio, make the case very clearly on the article's talk page. It may have been possible to avoid the mess simply by talk more and reverting less. As you're well aware. Yes, the BLP policy is on your side. Even if you're wrong, the onus is on the other party to justify their inclusion of the material before re-inserting it. But you shouldn't assume that the other party is aware of any of this. Take a moment, explain it, and then if the other party ignores you, it's clear whose right. But when you edit war while simply asserting that it's a problem, you muddy the water, and turn what should be a simple block into a difficult call. It's still edit-warring, even if you're "right". Guettarda ( talk) 06:21, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
Heh, your message first sounded like a death threat *shudders* I was hoping to use the artwork for the production aspect of the article, or a behind the scenes filming picture (available on E4 website) might be good as well. There are plenty of filming pictures of shooting the moped scenes. Maybe a heartbroken Emily standing on the edge of the building looks better and sums up the whole episode? I really don't have much experience in making episode pages, this was my first actually. -- Hana ichi 12:22, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :) iMatthew talk at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you again for your support of the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Preliminary statistics indicate that 129 new articles were created, 203 other articles were improved, and 183 images were uploaded. Additionally, 41 articles were nominated for DYK, of which at least 2 have already been promoted. There are currently also 8 articles up for GA status and 3 up for FA/FL status. Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status.

Hey Sceptre,
I've read in your page, in the "things you can do" list that the articles "Avshalom Haviv" and "Gaza War" need an improvement. As a Hebrew speaker I can add information to these articles but the problem is that I don't get the problem in these articles. Avshalom Haviv's article mainly focuses on his achievements even though the British Mandate considered him a terrorist. Che Guevara was considered a terrorist, Nathan Hale was considered a terrorist and Camille Desmoulins was was considered a terrorist. Today, they are heroes of millions of people, and their crimes are mentioned in a tiny chapter under the title "Capture and execution" or "The Trial and Verdict", just like Haviv. I'll be happy to hear your opinion, -- Etai han ( talk) 17:36, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate the hard work you are putting into Doctor Who campfire trailer, but "the people have spoken" on this issue twice, and there needs to be more discussion before permanently restoring the article. I would encourage you to keep improving the article. If you do, either turn it back to a redirect at the end of each edit session, or put some kind of a note at the top saying it is a temporary page pending the outcome of a rescue discussion, and put a reasonable deadline for the discussion. Bear in mind that if there is no new consensus, "default=previous consensus."

What are you talking about? I havent been editing the heroes article. And the page clearly violates the rule od verifiability. — Matey Ahoy 02:40, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Look I am a new member here but have been trying very hard to follow the rules over this.
Please explain why I am being cited for disruptive edits when I have made no recent edits and have been providing verifiable information. Thank You — Matey Ahoy 02:59, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Wow... I didnt know you could be disrutive on a talk page. I thought talk pages were there to avoid disruptive activities.....
So I am being banned from editing, because I presented what you consider to be disruptive information on the talk page...... I am now really confused as to the purpose of talk pages :(
Please explain how presenting verifiable information on a talk page, then supporting the information is disruptive. Thank You — Matey Ahoy 04:41, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Do you think your friendship with "Thedemonhog" might be making you biased? Co-authored with thedemonhog. :) — Matey Ahoy 07:13, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Sceptre, I commend you for your efforts in this matter. The fact is Mateyahoy, you staked your claim on a position that the majority (if not all) of the editors involved with this article are apposed to. You tried time and time again through multiple efforts to convince us and you failed. It should have ended there but oh no, god forbid you should give up without a fight. You kept hammering at it until you took it too far. You might have done your best to keep an editing war from arising and that is appreciate, but in the process you used methods that alienated yourself from the rest of this particular group of editors. You can go on and on till the cows come home about how you were trying to help the site, but all you did was hurt it. How, because you hurt your position with fellow editors. Part of what allows a site to develop is the comradery amongst fellow editors because by developing a sense of trust, people gain a better sense of judgement. The little trials and tribulations that occur here and there allow for an eventual building of that trust. What you did has greatly impaired our trust in your editing judgement in this matter, and I am afraid it may be a long time before you can show us you are trustworthy again. We all make mistakes, but you just perpetuated yours and dug a hole for yourself too deep to get out of for a long time. If I were you, I'd stick to minor edits for a while and work your way back up to the big stuff. Otherwise you might find yourself in a worse position than your are already in - blocked!

I have taken the bold step of collapsing and resolving the thread you started. If you'd like to join my attempt to resolve the matter at Kmweber's user talk page, consider yourself welcome to do so. Nothing good would come of a premature ban proposal at this point. Durova 362 04:59, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) Nope, that cuts no ice. You started the ban proposal subthread with a header stating you were reigniting it. You knew it would be contentious and your own posts here express disgust with how many people put up with him. What you were doing was initiating a self-defeating drama fest. And you tried as hard as you could to relight that flame several times--to the point where you could have been blocked for disruptive edit warring. I've been around the block long enough to know when someone is setting themselves up to fail politically in order to indulge in I'm right and you're all wrong chest-beating. It can be cathartic, but Wikipedia is not an appropriate venue for that game. This is a serious website. And if you're serious, get the rectum off the pot and join me at Kurt Weber's user talk page.

Re: this edit; you were right to revert (because the previous edit messed up some references, and other multi-part serials with a single title in the table are listed only once), but your edit summary suggests that you haven't seen the latest from the BBC.

Please see my comment on the talk page. I think we'll all do well to tone things down a bit there. I understand where you're coming from, and in normal conversation words like "shitstorm" are good because maybe that's what it is. But it tends to have the opposite effect, making things more contentious rather than less. The page now has the attention of AN/I, and if we're not careful things from early this year could start replaying. Group hugs and all that. It'll work itself out sooner or later. - Wikidemon ( talk) 05:27, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps you might consider taking a look at an old edit at Wikipedia:Mentorship#Unintended consequences? In the search for a mentor deemed acceptable by ArbCom, I cite this as a plausible context for discussing what I have in mind.
Please contact me by e-mail or on my talk page. -- Tenmei ( talk) 06:25, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Dear Sceptre, I wanted to write you in regards to your comment on Alison's user talk page. I want to state here that I am completely unfamiliar with your reference to my abuse of "Phaedriel's" account. From what I remember, s/he was a really good editor/mentor/friend of several Wikipedians. Any abuse connected to Encyclopedist or any of my accounts is simply false. But thanks for giving me a second chance. Unfortunately, I will probably not use it since I won't edit here that often (being a grad student and looking for a job).

Why make it a redirect? Its not as if its the only thing he has done. I am fully aware of the vandal issue because i've been documenting the past atrocities and reverting that scumbucket since I caught it recently, but that only means it should probably be protected, right, not blanked into a redirect?-- Milowent ( talk) 04:33, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
You're walking a fine line there. If you're going to ignore the 3RR for what you claim to be a BLP vio, make the case very clearly on the article's talk page. It may have been possible to avoid the mess simply by talk more and reverting less. As you're well aware. Yes, the BLP policy is on your side. Even if you're wrong, the onus is on the other party to justify their inclusion of the material before re-inserting it. But you shouldn't assume that the other party is aware of any of this. Take a moment, explain it, and then if the other party ignores you, it's clear whose right. But when you edit war while simply asserting that it's a problem, you muddy the water, and turn what should be a simple block into a difficult call. It's still edit-warring, even if you're "right".

Heh, your message first sounded like a death threat *shudders* I was hoping to use the artwork for the production aspect of the article, or a behind the scenes filming picture (available on E4 website) might be good as well. There are plenty of filming pictures of shooting the moped scenes. Maybe a heartbroken Emily standing on the edge of the building looks better and sums up the whole episode? I really don't have much experience in making episode pages, this was my first actually. -- Hana ichi 12:22, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I declined it twice because the history (and his actions) need to be visible to more than just admins. He's blocked, the talkpage is blocked, and it seems the EN-Wikipedia no longer supports the deletion of indef'd usertalkpages. Cheers. ( talk→ BWilkins ←track) 13:50, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
