"Simply blanking works just as easily"

Thank you for blanking the Talk:Philip Danforth Armour page. I would have done so myself, except that in a similar situation, an admin had said that listing it for speedy deletion was the right thing to do. Which is it? Can you point to a Wikipedia policy reference? Hu 01:31, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I've read on your talk page that you prefer to continue the conversation here. Afaik, there is no policy or guideline on this. My personal view is that blanking statements like the one on Talk:Philip Danforth Armour is the easiest way. It gets roughly the same result (something is hidden from direct view), but with much less effort. Anyone can blank, but only admins can delete. I do feel that deleting talk pages is necessary in the case of vandalism or copyvio, but in all other cases, it's not really necessary. Having said that, it's a matter of personal preference. If another admin speedies a talk page, I won't object to that. Aecis ^{Mr. Mojo risin'} 08:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. Hu 08:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

VWN en WCN

Beste allemaal Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, Effeietsanders 25 feb 2006 12:27 (CET)

I am in the process of having my constructed language recognized by the IS0 639 standards. I am continuing to research it. I will create a very large article on it eventually. If you could, please spread the word on it. Just because it may have been bad doesn't mean it would not become very good. --Kailyn Leto 15:56, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me why you deleted the article.

Regarding Raphael1 and the Talk:Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy page

Greetings! I'd like to discuss Raphael1's behaviour on the cartoon controversy talk page. More and more, his behaviour appears to be simple passive-aggressive trolling. I have assumed good faith as much as possible, but the simple fact is that the many arguments he starts are a colossal waste of time. Furthermore, he likes to place subtle barbs and insults that are just shy of personal attacks.

Since you're an admin and a pretty experienced user, I was wondering if you could give your opinion on this. Is there anything that can, or should, be done?

Feel free to reply here or at my talk page. Thank you! :) --Ashenai 02:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for your input! For the record, his behaviour doesn't personally irritate me at all; my concern was mostly that his input into the talk page in question, especially his subtle semi-insults (as I perceive them), has made it a less "friendly" environment, and might drive away less thick-skinned editors. But you're right; I'll keep assuming good faith. Cheers! :) --Ashenai 22:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Asics, Sorry to be eaves-dropping here. I agree entirely with Ashenai's concerns about Raphael1. The atmosphere is very hostile, insults are 'flying' and it is amiss with the weirdest, most twisted and amnesic logic I have ever come across. I agree, some of the very qualified, measured and inquisitive editors either no longer contribute, or do so very rarely. I can really only see his twisting of people's words and arguments as intentional, as he does not seem unintelligent - (although I definitely find his argumentation to be so - although, if he is trolling, it is clever and successful). Aggressive-passive trolling - Predominantly a huge waste of time that could be spent better - and an unbeatable ability to make my blood pressure skyrocket! : ) Varga Mila 17:40, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, though, not to worry, I wouldn't want to 'take it further' at this stage. Its 'just' an encyclopedia entry ! :-) Thanks anyway.Varga Mila 17:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

no email address?

Hi - I don't know if you realize it, but you can't be contacted by the wikipedia "email this user" link. This might be related to the (relatively recent) email validation feature. Seems to me all admins should have a valid (and validated) email address. Just thought I'd let you know. -- Rick Block (talk) 04:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

No binding decisions

Aecis, please do not hesitate blocking User:Raphael1 if he continues to edit disruptively on the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy article. Netscott 17:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that more IP's and throwaway accounts are doing the exact same edits as Raphael1 (changing to linkimage instead of just blanking) which makes me suspicious that they may be his socks, I don't have enough evidence to request a checkuser and obviously while the type of edit (see last one here is circumstantial evidence only I figured you'd want to know since you have warned Raphael1 to stop changing image to linkimage. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 17:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I can assure you, that I don't have any sockpuppets and make all my edits using my account. It seems there are other editors, who happen to want the cartoons linkimaged, but that only proves there is no consensus. Raphael1 23:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Aecis, if you were serious with this post then it may be time for you to exercise that block. As you can see from this diff, Raphael1 tried to convert the image to a link again. --StuffOfInterest 00:30, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

article "stub"

My new article (which you modified) at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Oakes_Preston is reflected as a "stub". How/when is this moved to Article status? Thanks! Mel 04:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Excesive block?

Could you please tell me the reasons for a one week block of Raphael1 (talk · contribs)? I am not familiar with this user, but I received a request to look into it. I also do not see the customary block notice as per WP:BLOCK#Instructions_to_admins in his talk page. Thanks. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 00:13, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
