User talk:Picaroon

If you are wondering why I tagged my userpage for speedy deletion, here is my reason: I've become far to vain in regards to my userpage; my attempt's to "perfect" it are getting in the way of my editing. I'm not leaving the project, of course not (:D)) - I'm merely trying to eliminate an excessive distraction. Please DO NOT delete my personal sandbox or my user talkpage. If the deleting sysop has any questions about this deletion, please ask me. Picaroon9288 17:17, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Picaroon9288's user talkpage! There are several things I'd like you to know before posting:

1. Where to post: Please leave newest comments at the bottom. You can start a new topic by clicking that little plus up top, or by clicking here.
2. Civility: I can't stop you from leaving uncivil comments - because this is a wiki, you can add whatever you want (as long as you aren't blocked.) But if they are rude messages, or you're a troll, they'll be reverted and ignored. So please be civil.
3. Sign your posts: please sign your posts, by typing four tildes (like this: ~~~~.)
4. Where I'll respond: If the issue at hand is something that requires a response, I'll most likely post it on your talk page. If all it requires is an "okay," a "thank you," and the like, I'll most likely only say it here.

Thank you very much for understanding. I'm looking forward to seeing the new messages template. Picaroon9288•talk

Whatevershop

I deleted the article on Whatevershop, I just thought I would drop by and say that I did so under CSD A7, so that you know for future reference. (notability is not a speedy criteria, no assertion of importance is) Thanks!!! —— Eagle (ask me for help) 16:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I just found it while working on clearing out Category:stubs. I actually recall prodding it, but from your comment I guess I must've changed it to a csd candidate without actually checking whether the reason still applied. Oops! Anyways, thanks for telling me - I'll try to remember to make sure the deletion reason applies to the deletion method I've proposed. Happy editing! Picaroon9288•talk 19:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Conversation with Adriaan 1

Original message: Adriaan 1, I'm disappointed and surprised that you considered my oppose comment on your rfa to be a personal attack. I was attempting to explain to you why people were opposing your request for adminship, by summing it all up, and recommending your withdrawal. Although now that I think of it, there was no need to actually make the comment into another oppose comment, I still stand by the text of it, and I'm convinced it was not a personal attack. None of the people who opposed you, including me, was trying to hurt your feelings; I'm sorry that you thought they might have been. Picaroon9288•talk 19:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh please. Stop trying to play stupid. You know as well as I do that all of those comments were supposed to hurt my feelings. You attack was even more harsh than my so-called attack that the person was being racist. I in fact only notified him of my objection to his racism. But you, you're just trying to get out of it all. I'm not an animal. Stop trying to manipulate me. Gosh, you people are weird on here. --Scotteh 21:50 05 September 2006 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.232.98.64 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC), while Adriaan 1 (Scotteh) was blocked.

Adriaan, I really never meant to hurt your feelings with my oppose. I admit, It probably wasn't necessary to have made it an entry in the oppose column, and instead should have directed it towards you on this talkpage. But I am not trying to "weasel my way out" of it. I stand by my comment, and I believe, as do the others, that you are not ready for adminship, especially since you have not been assuming good faith at all in this whole episode. I am sorry that you do not view things this way. Picaroon9288•talk 20:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

re:Alex Schenck

Original message:In regards to your creation of the article Alex Schenck, I believe you should understand that most Wikipedians, Linuxbeak included, aren't notable enough for articles. There are exceptions, of course, like Jimmy Wales and Chip Berlet, but, as a rule of thumb, creating an article about another Wikipedian shouldn't be done. In your message on the talk page, you mentioned that he spoke at the Wikimedia Conference as your assertion of notability; we certainly don't have articles on every person who has ever spoken at a conference, nor are we going to. So we shouldn't have them on otherwise non-notable Wikipedians. I hope this explains why the article will probably be deleted shortly, if it hasn't been already. Happy editing, Picaroon9288•talk 16:27, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

As you can see, it has been deleted. Ask me on my talk page if you need more of an explanation. Happy editing, Picaroon9288•talk 18:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I think I'll get the hang of it, but thanks for the offer anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Wiki Fan (talk • contribs) 18:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Might need help after all

I got banned and don't really get why, also some weirdo left me a message about a right guard page I created, only thing I've found is on "Adminstrator's Noticeboard" and that doesn't really help - The Wiki Fan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.74.146 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC), as The Wiki Fan is blocked.

You seem to have been labeled a troll by an administrator, Doc glasgow, and indefinitely blocked for it. Not much to say. Sorry. Picaroon9288•talk 22:17, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

re: Phil Kellam

thanks for the kind note on Phillip Kellam - I missed that when searching. JohnSinteur 14:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

User:Picaroon9288

While processing CSD, I came across your userpage delete request. I can see how this could be distracting. I have not yet deleted your page, but have redirected it to your talk page here. Oftentime redlinked userpages in sigs and other places will make other editors think you are brand new, or confuse new editors. Do not consider this a "decline" of your request for deletion, and if you still want it done, please talk page me, or relist it on CSD and someone will probally get it farily soon; I'm simply trying to save you from some problems down the line that others have had. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I've deleted it, if you ever want it restored let me know. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
