I followed the rules to submit my RFA, if the rules mentioned anything about receiving consultation from administrators then I would follow but it doesn't.

Hello Yoda. I might need some advice, as I've got into my first one-on-one argument with another user.
Over on the Muhammad images discussion (I'm sure these things are taking their cue from our teaching examples), Niteshift36 moved a comment made by HectorMoffet so that it appeared Hector was replying to me, when he wasn't. I asked him on his talk page why he did it, he moved my question to my own talk page ( this section) and replied there. I don't think his statements are true, it doesn't seem right to me that comments should be prevented in 'voting' sections when we are not supposed to be voting, but I don't know the wikiquette and I can't find any policy or guideline that directly addresses it.
Meanwhile, I posted a short reply to the moved comment, so that other editors would know it had been moved. (At the moment the disagreement is right at the bottom of this section). Niteshift challenged the need for this and when I explained, he accused me of trying to blame my errors on others. (?! What errors??) I'm trying hard not to get angry about this, but I don't think Niteshift is actually reading what I'm saying at all - he's just decided that because he's right, I must be wrong. I feel that his moving a comment out of its context is confusing and damaging to healthy debate. Now somebody else has accused the pair of us of 'penis fencing'. Which is kind of amusing since I don't have a penis to fence with, but really, whatever happened to civility and working together? Is it always like this?
Taking it back to my talk page won't solve the problem of Niteshift moving the comment, since he doesn't seem to want to listen. Hector and the person he replied to probably don't even know the comment was moved. Now I feel unable to say so. Advice please. ~ Kimelea (talk) 21:21, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I know the tutorial can help me- I just wish Wikipedia was a bit more user friendly so everyone could have the opportunity to share their knowledge. You really need to take a lot of time and effort to learn the special formatting and to feel your way around in order to edit it. I guess that part of it is in some ways good though, so not every Joe'Schmo can come in and start editing articles. Maxasher ( talk) 11:16, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello, WormTT ·
Re: why I haven't registered. It's just that I currently don't have permanent email to speak of. At least not one that I'd want to associate with a non-temporary registration. I am in the process of consolidating some email addresses from wherever, and... well, somehow this hasn't risen to the top of my to-do list. Once I get a round
tuit...(you know how that goes). Also, I tried to register awhile ago and the names I wanted were to too similar to others, and I don't like to have a bunch of usernames that I need to remember... yadda, yadda, yadda. (I guess this story wasn't particularly "long", but it sure was boring). Btw, an
actual 'Round Tuit' doesn't have the word "Round" on it -- it simply is round. The one uploaded here is a counterfeit! ;)

Hi Worm, I just happened to notice on Tony1's talk page a new user, Baboon43, left a message asking for help. Tony seems to be in the hospital at the moment, but Baboon's latest block will expire soon, if it hasn't already. Tony has advised Baboon before, but Baboon got blocked anyway, so maybe what Baboon needs is something more along the lines of what you do. I don't know what the formalities are with something like this, or if it is even appropriate for me to post about it here. Would you take a look and see what seems best?

Hi Jc37. I found your full protection of Kiefer.Wolfowitz's talk page curious. Surely it would have been better to edit his block so that it did not include talk page access? Removing talk page access stops other users posting on his talk page, to leave notes of encouragement or points to discuss when he returns. I was just wondering why you went down the full protection route. Oh and I can't actually change it myself, as I am involved and should not take any administrative actions with regards to the subject. WormTT · ( talk) 07:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Confused - So what exactly happened posting that link on Jimbo's page? You removed it saying a friend was messing around, but your contribs show that you placed it there. Is somebody editing using your account? That doesn't sound entirely convincing. AsPer my comment on Jimbo's talk, I would recommend against placing such a list in an area which can be viewed by many, and with your name coming up pretty often, some people could take offense to their name not being in the friends list, also personal attacks on enemies ect. Note: this is just my opinion.

User talk:Worm That Turned, Watchers = 112, Centijimbos = 4.3 -- Gilderien Talk| Contribs 21:32, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Hiya WormTT, Just a quickie question if I may. Over at WP:ESC we held a lengthy consensus exercise regarding template structure for Eurovision and Junior Eurovision articles. And a decision was finalised to create super-navboxes that contained relevant information such as Template:United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest and Template:Eurovision Song Contest 2012, rather than having templates such as Template:Countries in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 and Template:Songs of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. This was so we could slimline the number of templates the project had overall. My question is, I was informed to nominate the obsolete templates over at TfD; however, TfD goes through a decision making system, to see if people want to keep or delete these obsolete versions. Is TfD the best option, despite the fact the project has already made a decision to replace old templates with newer versions - or can they just be speedy deleted?

I honestly did not think too much of it at the start - did not really think it would help me too much either. I was very wrong. Dave, I'd like to thank you for finally adopting me, yes, it's taken a whole year and a month but I feel like I have finally achieved something, and that's being adopted by an experienced editor, and learning so much about the policies and guidlines of Wikipedia! I cannot say how much sorry I am that it took this long...I'm a slow learner, as you may have noticed, and procrastination does not help at all.

that I'm not doing your adoption course, anymore. I'm happy, and surprised, that I graduated - but unhappy that it's now all over!
However, If I'm ever in a terrible mood with something regarding Wikipedia, you more than really anyone, know that I like to write essay long messages when I'm angry, so I still hope you'll be able to listen to my blabber, now and then. :)

Hello Yoda. I might need some advice, as I've got into my first one-on-one argument with another user.
Over on the Muhammad images discussion (I'm sure these things are taking their cue from our teaching examples), Niteshift36 moved a comment made by HectorMoffet so that it appeared Hector was replying to me, when he wasn't. I asked him on his talk page why he did it, he moved my question to my own talk page ( this section) and replied there. I don't think his statements are true, it doesn't seem right to me that comments should be prevented in 'voting' sections when we are not supposed to be voting, but I don't know the wikiquette and I can't find any policy or guideline that directly addresses it.
Meanwhile, I posted a short reply to the moved comment, so that other editors would know it had been moved. (At the moment the disagreement is right at the bottom of this section). Niteshift challenged the need for this and when I explained, he accused me of trying to blame my errors on others. (?! What errors??) I'm trying hard not to get angry about this, but I don't think Niteshift is actually reading what I'm saying at all - he's just decided that because he's right, I must be wrong. I feel that his moving a comment out of its context is confusing and damaging to healthy debate. Now somebody else has accused the pair of us of 'penis fencing'. Which is kind of amusing since I don't have a penis to fence with, but really, whatever happened to civility and working together? Is it always like this?
Taking it back to my talk page won't solve the problem of Niteshift moving the comment, since he doesn't seem to want to listen. Hector and the person he replied to probably don't even know the comment was moved. Now I feel unable to say so. Advice please. ~ Kimelea (talk) 21:21, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I know the tutorial can help me- I just wish Wikipedia was a bit more user friendly so everyone could have the opportunity to share their knowledge. You really need to take a lot of time and effort to learn the special formatting and to feel your way around in order to edit it. I guess that part of it is in some ways good though, so not every Joe'Schmo can come in and start editing articles. Maxasher ( talk) 11:16, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello, WormTT ·
Re: why I haven't registered. It's just that I currently don't have permanent email to speak of. At least not one that I'd want to associate with a non-temporary registration. I am in the process of consolidating some email addresses from wherever, and... well, somehow this hasn't risen to the top of my to-do list. Once I get a round
tuit...(you know how that goes). Also, I tried to register awhile ago and the names I wanted were to too similar to others, and I don't like to have a bunch of usernames that I need to remember... yadda, yadda, yadda. (I guess this story wasn't particularly "long", but it sure was boring). Btw, an
actual 'Round Tuit' doesn't have the word "Round" on it -- it simply is round. The one uploaded here is a counterfeit! ;)

User:Swifty has been blocked for disruptive editing and making legal threats. He has written to the Arbitration Committee that he has withdrawn the legal threats and is appealing for his block to be withdrawn. As part of his appeal he has requested that you be his mentor and guide. I know that you successfully adopt new users, so that appears to be a sensible choice.

Now onto the next issue... RWD Magazine This lists the same issue i'm trying to add to Pink News...but all about themselves and with no sources. My version is still a work in progress on the Pink News talk page but doesn't mention RWD and is at least referenced. Do i add RWD and link to the Pink News section from RWD or copy and paste it in both sections of both articles (when i've reworded it)? Thanks Jenova 20 12:24, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Worm, I just happened to notice on Tony1's talk page a new user, Baboon43, left a message asking for help. Tony seems to be in the hospital at the moment, but Baboon's latest block will expire soon, if it hasn't already. Tony has advised Baboon before, but Baboon got blocked anyway, so maybe what Baboon needs is something more along the lines of what you do. I don't know what the formalities are with something like this, or if it is even appropriate for me to post about it here. Would you take a look and see what seems best? Regards, Neotarf ( talk) 18:26, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Have a happy Easter!— cyberpower Happy EasterOnline 14:44, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Jc37. I found your full protection of Kiefer.Wolfowitz's talk page curious. Surely it would have been better to edit his block so that it did not include talk page access? Removing talk page access stops other users posting on his talk page, to leave notes of encouragement or points to discuss when he returns. I was just wondering why you went down the full protection route. Oh and I can't actually change it myself, as I am involved and should not take any administrative actions with regards to the subject. WormTT · ( talk) 07:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
I saw your message which gave me an idea how I can fix that signature too. It's the only signature left that needs fixing. What I wanted to say is I'm don't get what you're trying to do on my list. Could you please tell me?— cyberpower ChatLimited Access 10:06, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Confused - So what exactly happened posting that link on Jimbo's page? You removed it saying a friend was messing around, but your contribs show that you placed it there. Is somebody editing using your account? That doesn't sound entirely convincing. AsPer my comment on Jimbo's talk, I would recommend against placing such a list in an area which can be viewed by many, and with your name coming up pretty often, some people could take offense to their name not being in the friends list, also personal attacks on enemies ect. Note: this is just my opinion.

(( edit conflict)x2)I have read your email and decided to retract my certification. This probably willv not do anything as it seems likely that it will go ahead, but I have considered yours and 28bytes points and decided that I was over-reacting and considering things too emotionally to make a balanced judgement. However, I still consider the block a questionable or "bad" block, but one block an admin does not make.

User talk:Worm That Turned, Watchers = 112, Centijimbos = 4.3 -- Gilderien Talk| Contribs 21:32, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Hiya WormTT, Just a quickie question if I may. Over at WP:ESC we held a lengthy consensus exercise regarding template structure for Eurovision and Junior Eurovision articles. And a decision was finalised to create super-navboxes that contained relevant information such as Template:United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest and Template:Eurovision Song Contest 2012, rather than having templates such as Template:Countries in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 and Template:Songs of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. This was so we could slimline the number of templates the project had overall. My question is, I was informed to nominate the obsolete templates over at TfD; however, TfD goes through a decision making system, to see if people want to keep or delete these obsolete versions. Is TfD the best option, despite the fact the project has already made a decision to replace old templates with newer versions - or can they just be speedy deleted?

You based part of your rationale for the block of Ronz on editing on AAT. This appears to have been based from comments by Montanabw who was canvassed to comment and has been pretty aggressive on the AAT page. See my comment here [3]. I posted belatedly as I wasn't informed of any incidents being discussed in relation to his editing on this article even though I was indirectly mentioned.

I honestly did not think too much of it at the start - did not really think it would help me too much either. I was very wrong. Dave, I'd like to thank you for finally adopting me, yes, it's taken a whole year and a month but I feel like I have finally achieved something, and that's being adopted by an experienced editor, and learning so much about the policies and guidlines of Wikipedia! I cannot say how much sorry I am that it took this long...I'm a slow learner, as you may have noticed, and procrastination does not help at all. I believe I am (maybe?) your youngest adoptee to have passed and graduated, which is an honor (and just think, if you've adopted me, you can adopt anyone! ) -- MST☆ R (Chat Me!) 13:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC) |

Finally, I'd like to say another word of thanks. It's going to be sad
that I'm not doing your adoption course, anymore. I'm happy, and surprised, that I graduated - but unhappy that it's now all over!
However, If I'm ever in a terrible mood with something regarding Wikipedia, you more than really anyone, know that I like to write essay long messages when I'm angry, so I still hope you'll be able to listen to my blabber, now and then. :)
