Signpost RSS

I was having trouble SSHing, and now my computer's fried. When I get my new computer, I plan to get it back up and running again. Hopefully RSS will be up by the April 17th issue; my apologies. Ral315 (talk) 19:32, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

ContiE has impersonated me on other wikis

Hi, I'm in a potentially awkward position with an Administrator. I have read the Wiki pages on dispute resolution but I'm still not sure how to proceed.

The Admin ContiE has a personal grudge against me for reasons I do not fully understand. He has been this way since I began frequenting wikipedia.

I have done work improving the furvert article. He has basically gone on a crusade against any edit I make. He controls every furry category article and several others ruthlessly. He is an iron fist and bans anyone he edit wars with. I had uploaded pictures and he deleted them with no talking. He seems to believe I am every person he has had an edit war against. He is always using personal attacks, calling me troll without reason. I uploaded them again and he voted them for deleted, but to his surprise the person who runs the images, thank you Nv8200p, found they were acceptable once I tagged them properly. Just recently he removed both the images without himself discussing it in the talk page (unless he was the same person who discussed only one) with the edit here [1] Then ContiE assumed bad faith, added his constant insult of troll in the talk page. It appears on a completed different wiki, a comedy one in all things, somebody else stole my username and I believe this was Conti himself and uploaded them. ContiE showed it as his reason. While vandalism like his, I would revert and mention it, he would ban me permanently if I undid his edit. That is why I am asking admins for help. He holds a couple of accounts on wikipedia and I think they are administrators so I have to be careful who I tell about this. Arights 07:33, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Fake barn stars

Can you please confirm if you awarded User:The_Man's_Plans any barn stars. It is strongly suspected that he is misrepresenting himself.

unblocking of 213.232.79.238

Just a note that user:213.232.79.238 who you unblocked today (reason: "Shared IP - was blocking me from editing") immediately vandalized again in the article The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. S Sepp 16:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

If you want can you take a look at Infiniti G20?

I noticed some of your edits and would like it if you took a look at the Infiniti G20 article. No pressure if you do not feel like it. Zoli Elo 06:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Proposal on Notability

Because you're a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, I'm notifying you that the inclusionist proposa Wikipedia:Non-notabilityl is in progress to define the role of notability in articles. Please help us make this successful! Also note the proposal Wikipedia:Importance is a deletionist proposla that seeks to officially introduce notabiltiy for the first time. Make sure this is defeated! --Ephilei 04:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 FARC

Hi there—Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 is currently on the Featured Article Removal list. Attempts to improve the article since its nomination for FA Review have been insufficient, by consensus.

I note that you have contributed to the article, and I wonder whether you're able to assist at this crucial stage. It would be a pity if the article were no longer featured after all of the work that was put into having it promited. Tony 05:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the new WikiProject Bodybuilding!

Thank you for joining! Firstly, please add {{WikiProject Bodybuilding}}, {{User WikiProject Bodybuilding}} or simply [[Category:WikiProject Bodybuilding Members]] to your user page which adds a banner, userbox or simply our member's category. Then please take a look here to see how you can help! Please contact me if I can assist in anyway, and thanks again! - Glen 09:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Your Block

Dude, I just have to ask how you came to block Jimbo way back in December, even if only by accedent.

--Wslack (talk) 02:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The contribs from around that time don't show anything but perfectly normal vandalism reversion. And neither do the logs. And there's no comment I can find explaining this. Not that it matters, but it is odd. ;-) JesseW, the juggling janitor 19:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

That's just weird. I mean, Jimbo Wales can be blocked??? Pyrospirit ^{Talk Contribs} 16:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: WikiGnome page

Your response requested at Wikipedia_talk:WikiGnome#Why_further_examples_are_useful. Thanks! JesseW, the juggling janitor 19:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Please don't revert a page to your version without discussing on the talk page, as I requested above, and which you never did. It is not respectful. JesseW, the juggling janitor 03:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Images on MainPage, ITN

Hello, Dan100. Please be reminded that images on MainPage must be protected to avoid vandalism. Instructions can be found on Category:Protected main page images. And, please also be reminded that ITN is not a news service, and only wikiarticles adequately updated with current news events should be featured on ITN. (One sentence and an external link probably doesn't count.) Thanks. -- PFHLai 16:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks...

Guideline of notability

Hi. I have reverted your deletion of the guideline tag in WP:N. This guideline was placed after extensive discussion on the talk page. Before considering a removal of it, I think it would be good to state your case on the talk page and listen to what others have to say about it. The arguments in favour of this being a guideline are fairly convincing. Best, Pascal.Tesson 20:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Street Thunder

I have reverted your merge of the Street Thunder article with Assault on Precinct 13. Before making such a drastic change (and effectively deleting an article), you should have stated your case on the talk page and waited for the response of others. If you had actually read the discussion, you might have noticed that a convincing case was made for keeping the Street Thunder article separate.

As an administrator, you in particular should know the protocol for making such changes, and your actions can be construed not only as thoroughly disrespectful to the editors who actively contribute to the articles, but also as an abuse of your position. I have contacted another administrator about this.

Block of Jimbo Wales

How come you blocked Jimbo Wales accidentally? Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 15:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Erm... Because it was an accident? My guess is that he doesn't want to talk about it. oTHErONE _(Contribs) 00:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Your comment on Magnus Scheving's talk page

I was perfectly polite in explaining that Wikipedia's talk pages are not for general discussion of the subject. I don't need to lighten up, I simply and clearly stated the rules. If people didn't explain the function of talk pages, Wikipedia would become a mess. Kat, Queen of Typos 21:05, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Template:NMGovernors

This template came up for deletion in August of 2005 and you closed the debate with a result of "keep, but the consensus was for deletion and listifying". This has become a problem recently since the nominator, who is now an admin as well, has decided unwaveringly that it should be deleted based on your comments. I have a problem with this because every other state has one of these templates and to remove only New Mexico's on the basis of a 3-2 (3 keep, 2 delete) vote almost a year and a half ago seems ridiculous. Furthermore, I argued that if the user has such a problem with it, they should renominate it for deletion to establish clearer consensus.

Therefore, I was hoping that you may reverse your statement from then and say that there wasn't really enough consensus to warrant the deletion of this template. Hopefully that may help clear this up. Thanks for your time. --tomf688 (talk - email) 19:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

A Clockwork Orange

I noticed you removed the "plot" tag from A Clockwork Orange. It was there to get discussion on this point, and there is already the start of that in Talk:A Clockwork Orange. I am guessing you might disagree with the proposal to radically trim the plot, and so you might wish to comment on it on the talk page. In the mean time I have reinstated the tag, because much more discussion is needed towards a consensus on this article. Notinasnaid 09:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Spider-Man (film)

Your recent edits to the Spider-Man (film) article have been reverted. Your changes were: removing valid cleanup tags, unwikifying and ambiguating text. Please do not restore these changes. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 13:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Shortening of the Shaun of the Dead plot

I was amazed to see how the plot of Shaun of the Dead has been shortened considerably, by you, earlier this month. Obviously you know best, and no one seems to have objected, but can I ask what policy you used to decide that the detailed plot was not needed? Randomwellwisher 16:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Leslie Coffelt

Steven Hunter's book was my source on the length of the gunfight. There was no rounding of seconds involved. You shouldn't make such gratuitous assumptions.

WikiProject Aviation proposal

There is currently a proposal to create an Aviation WikiProject, which would serve to clarify how all the aviation related projects relate, and help with interproject editing. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft#Proposal_Recap for how the projects hierarchy. Part of the reorganization proposes that WikiProject Gliding become a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Aircraft (or perhaps the Aviation Project itself). For an idea of how task forces work, take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history. They have a number of task forces, listed here. As described by them, "task forces are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the field of military history; all project members are encouraged to participate in any that interest them." The benefit of such a system it that the sub-topics have all the resources of the overall project at their disposal. For instance, the Military history project banner, is placed on every military history page, and the related task forces are listed at the bottom of it. All miltary history related articles are thereby joined under one roof. If you have any ideas or comments, please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 20:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Is WikiProject General Audience still alive?

Many of the articles on mathematics in Wikipedia are so technical that I can't make sense of them. Luckily, I found an article that is useful in deciphering some of the formulas, but still the text of some of the mathematics articles on Wikipedia should be maded easier to understand. 69.140.164.142 04:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Your removal of the spoiler RfC note

I would like to ask you for more detail about your reasons for removing the RfC note from {{tl:spoiler}}. This matter concerns the entire field of fiction articles, which in turn accounts for a quarter of our pageviews amongst our tens of millions of readers. What you removed was the one public announcement to discussion about a sweeping change to this field, and it was in place for less than two days. Per WP:AGF I wish to assume that your summary, "Get on with your lives," means something more benign than telling the side attempting to save spoiler warnings to put up and shut up instead of giving it a viable opportunity to make its point, but since that's what happened, I need some help. --Kizor 18:58, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

You know, that probably was harsher than it should've been. Sorry. The question still stands, though. --Kizor 20:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Oil shale

Hi Dan100. You have made lot of useful edits on the oil shale article. This article has developed quite well, but still some more expert assistance is needed. I hope you would pleased helping to improve it. I put some questions and issues to the talk page. Thank you in advance. Beagel 18:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I listed Oil shale for the new peer review and related spin-off articles (Oil shale extraction, Oil shale geology, Oil shale industry, History of the oil shale industry, Oil shale reserves, Oil shale economics, and Environmental effects of oil shale industry) for the peer review. Your comments and edits will be most welcome. The intention is to have these articles ready for the GA and FA nominations.Beagel 17:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

List of notable glider pilots

There is a proposal to delete the List of notable glider pilots. Please register your opinion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of notable glider pilots. I think it is an interesting list and useful when publicising the sport. JMcC 09:24, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

NOR

I would appreciate it if you could go over the recent discussion at Wikipedia talk:No original research. In section 1 I have proposed reqriting the current section on the origins of NOR, and since you were one of the people involved early on I hope you can go over it and make sure it is accurate (if you think it isn't let me know or just make the appropriate edit) and consider commenting. There is a more contentious and lenghty discussion of wehterh the distinction between primary and secondary sources is necessary for the poliicy or even whether there ever was any consensus (pretty much the rest of the page but you can just read the bottom third to save time) and perhaps you would have a useful comment.
