Another blocked

I have blocked the more recent IP which was engaging in the mass-revert attacks on yourself and other editors. Feel free to drop me a line anytime another one pops up and we'll deal with the disruption quickly. (ESkog)^(Talk) 04:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

RE:Loituma Girl

Can you please flesh out the reason why he is quoted there then. It is not obvious to someone who is ignorant of the subject why he deserves tp be quoted, something not helped by his pitiful WP entry. Viridae^Talk 20:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I still believe that it needs to be stated in the article as to why his opinion on the matter is worthwhile, rather than forcing them to turn to the source to find out. Viridae^Talk 21:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thought about that, but you know who the guy is - I have no idea :P *hint hint* 21:19, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Maharatha Empire

If u dont care about it stop reverting it. I see a big hatred and prejudice here against a particular community. Remove that neutrality tag which was added by Mr.Kannambadi as a revenge of rashtrakuta and Yadavas of devagiri. Vishu123 07:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok. i was anxious since the same user remove {{More sources}} and {{fact}} tag from Yadavas of devagiri blatantly and later flamed me. Why is Mr.Kannambadi hot-favorite of all! Anyways u r not related to this feud hence cant blame u. Vishu123 12:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

User:TheSkunk

Why did you have to wreck my fun? I was trolling the troll, turning the table, delivering justice and enjoying every minute of it. Yes, it was idiotic, but it was still fun, and no one was getting hurt by it. -- The Hybrid 10:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. Honestly if you had just asked me to stop I would have. As you can see, the trolls stopped after I personally redirected the page. The report wasn't really necessary. Sometimes just talking to people can solve problems like this. Cheers, -- The Hybrid 11:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

What I meant was if you had just spoken to me before you filed the report I would have fixed the situation. Cheers, -- The Hybrid 11:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Psychics and WP:WTA

Thank you for weighing in on Wikipedia talk:Words to avoid#Use of "purported" in conjunction with "psychic medium". I'm hoping the input of other editors will help us reach a consensus on the issue and move on! — Elembis 00:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

RE: Speculation?

Aside from the fact that making out with someone doesn't necessarily mean you want a relationship with them, "seems to want" is speculation based on the editor's opinion of the situation. Whether you consider it speculation or original research, it's not been sourced, and the information in question doesn't really belong on the Elfen Lied page anyway. Maybe on fansites or forums, but theoretical desires of characters, which haven't been stated or shown clearly by the author or the character(s) themselves, don't really have a place on Wikipedia. Perhaps speculation wasn't the best choice of wording, but unsourced theories (and weaselly words like 'seems') are generally just speculation on the part of the person with that opinion. Sorry for any trouble. Nique1287 12:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

9/11

The anon who keeps installing his POV fork on 9/11 is back at it; the page is listed in "Protected redirects" but it doesn't seem to actually be protected, since he's able to restore his POV fork. -- Antaeus Feldspar 09:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Inshaneee

I'm putting evidence together to get Inshaneee stripped of his Admin privilages, and i notice you've had dealings with him. Could you come to my talk page to discuss his conduct with you and how you have seen him treat other people.Hypnosadist 00:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, Two questions i have is you say Inshaneee "used his admin powers to try evading an RfC on himself", how did he try to do this and do you have evidence that i can use? Hypnosadist 02:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

response on my page

response on my page —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Certified.Gangsta (talk • contribs) 02:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC).

Certified.Gangsta (talk · contribs) is now resorting to deleting all my comments from his talk page. I would appreciate it if you could help revert Certified.Gangsta from trying to delete my comments on his talk page. Thanks.Guardian Tiger 02:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Deleting a thread from Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)

I see you deleted a discussion from Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals). While the inspiration for the discussion was a user prone to conspiracy theories, the particular user who started the thread is an editor in good standing who was being civil and just happened to mention that a government might want to influence Wikipedia. I think it was rather heavy-handed to just delete the whole thread since it didn't violate anything at Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Accordingly, I have restored the thread. Reply here is you desire. —Dgies^t c 19:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

If you believe that was a wise decision, then I will not oppose it. However, I think its presence will simply encourage the trolls, just like every other thread that attempted to discuss the issues. --tjstrf talk 20:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

External links

I'm in the process of talking this over with everyone over at WP:EL. As it stands now, I see no reason to keep these links when an article in the original language exists. Havok (T/C/e/c) 20:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I do know WP accepts non-English sources. But, in most cases an English source can be found and should then be used. Havok (T/C/e/c) 20:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I replied on my talk page. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 08:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Use better language

No need of you to post a message [1] about a "guy whining" -- are you so "above it all" that you can say such a dumb thing? You could have said "discussion or debate" in more neutral terms. Watch your manners kid. IZAK 09:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

How odd that a proponent of politeness who's upset about the single word "whining" would write about it with both "dumb" and "kid". I suppose if it irritated you, you could reply to him as "gramps". Better not do so, but it's a thought. -- Hoary 09:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Kouta vs Kōta in Elfen Lied

The characters of his name do not contain a "ー" (aka "vowel extender mark") which, to me, would be the indicator of a long "ō". Kouta's name is broken up like this: コ(ko)ウ(u)タ(ta). Wouldn't only コーウタ be Kōta?

The fact that the official romanisation is "Kohta" seems to strengthen this. Would this not indicate a rare case in which the name contains "ou" rather than "ō"? Please revert your edit if you agree with me, or correct my feeble attempt at understanding katakana. - Phorque 09:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

What would you suggest?

Hello, Tjstrf. What's your idea, of a guideline for bio articles titles/content (on Diacritics), for the Wikipedia: Naming conventions page. GoodDay 01:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

If you can present a compromise that has no contradictions, wich could end this 'Diacritics' Schism, then I wish you good luck. I've washed my hands of the disputes. In my opinon, only an Aribitration Committee ruling will be heeded by all Wikipedians. Good Luck in finding a solution. I'm done with it (seeking a compromise). GoodDay 18:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Relating to Tokyo Mew Mew

metamorphosis vs. metamorphose

In the Tokyo Mew Mew manga, the Mews say "Mew Mew (name of Mew) metamorphosis!"

In a la mode, Berry says "Mew Mew Berry Metamorphose!"

Yume no Kishi told that "Metamorphose" would be grammically correct, and gave her reason in the Tokyo Mew Mew dicussion. Seeing how Tokyopop tended to correct mistakes in a la mode, that further strengthened her reason. But, I would rather have a 3rd person give their reason which is right; like more of a consenus.

This is the 2nd time I write this, but since an idiot wrote "CAN'T KEEP ME DOWN FOREVER, BITCH!" it got deleted...

"THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" 18:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

"(Are the other moves verbs or nouns?)"

You are refreing to their attacks right? Hmm. I would have to say the majority of the Ichigo's and all of Berry's attacks are refering to the techique.

Mint's and Lettuce seem to be refering to what their doing. Mint shooting an arrow what makes echos, Lettuce's are refering to the rush of water, not entirely sure about Puuding and Zakuro's.

ChilledToTheBone nonsense...

Thanks for the heads up. I admit I was surprised an apparently new member was working on it, but I (tentatively) assumed good faith (maybe was an active anon who decided to finally get an account) --I hadn't paid attention to why that particular T-Mobile hotspot was blocked (I do most of my edits from work which is static and unproblematic). Good luck with this joker. --Bobak 02:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Holy cow... No kidding! I saw the "you have a new message" bar and then checked the talk page history. I feel like an inadvertent theater of war :-) --Bobak 16:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

United Kingdom

I was really just trying to maintain a sensible edit of the page broadly agreed with; shame that doing that is considered 3RR and the vandalism is not vandalism when done cleverly. Note also TharkunColl's recent deletion of multiple user comments on his page. MarkThomas 17:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Frankly, the fact that you can't see a difference between having a harmonised map on all EU country pages and one different one on the UK only makes me wonder how you see Wikipedia. Do you see it primarily as an encyclopedia for users or as a battleground for editors with different points of view? I can understand people giving up on the former given all the rubbish that goes on, but it does seem to me that you are siding against the good guys here for reasons of your own. MarkThomas 17:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Cplot

I don't think the users you reverted here were Cplot(look at their contribs). They look to be trolling, but not Cplot, unless there is something I missed about contibs.--Wildnox(talk) 00:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh I saw your last edit, I see. --Wildnox(talk) 00:30, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about Crimsone though. It would still make sense to revert since his post would have been in response to Cplot. --Wildnox(talk) 00:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, considering his reply is part of a common Cplot rant in which he claims our evidence of sockpuppetry is flawed because it's only obvious to the average 4 year old rather than the average 3 year old, I'd say yes. --tjstrf talk 00:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I noticed his ranting bit, found that to be suspect, in that sense he may be. His edits though, seem to go quite far back and seem to be rather involved. He recently has posted once or twice on the Cplot incident. This may be a case for check user if he actually goes over the edge with this kind of stuff at one point, but in my opinion Crimsone seems to be a mildly misguided user rather than a Cplot sock. --Wildnox(talk) 00:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

You'll notice I didn't tag Crimsone. --tjstrf talk 00:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I didn't notice, I just thought you ment "BOTH' were socks before. --Wildnox(talk) 00:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

No, that's why I made the Cplot the Boor pun. Should've been more specific I guess. --tjstrf talk 00:45, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, I felt that the comment was intended as humor (which it was from a certain perspective.) After seeing a comment by him on WP:RFCN though, I'm inclined to agreeeith you. Please accept my apologies, and thanks for not tagging me! lol (I'm pretty sure I'm not Cplot. lol. It's her by the way... :) )

Sorry - the comment didn't stick. Seems that I saw the new talk page message banner and opened it in a new window without realising there was an edit conflict. Never mind - it's here now!Crimsone 00:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

You're joking, right?

My point was that Cplot will surely "promote" those commenters to his list of "U.S. government agents" conspiring to Conceal the Hideous Truth, yadda yadda yadda, which has just about the credibility of a badge from a Crackerjack box.

Now if you want to declare me a suspected sockpuppet of Jimbo Wales, to that I won't object, complain, confirm or deny.... -- Ben 02:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

You're certainly free to delete anything from your talk page, including my earlier question, but the absence of any reply leaves me wondering. Are you planning to revert your change to my user page, or should I feel equally free to do so? Please advise. -- Ben 05:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I've fixed it and I apologize. I assumed your post was merely another snippy Cplot insult and reverted it without looking. For a more detailed explanation, see your talk page. --tjstrf talk 06:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind note, and for your apology, which I both accept and appreciate. Certainly no hard feelings on my part. After what you've been through, it's a wonder you're not seeing Cplot in every shadow of your own home! -- Ben 07:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

PS -- that ROT26-encrypted suggestion over there ("Robert A .. let you smile") is classified COSMIC/NOFORN/For Your Eyes Only, please shred into the burn bag after reading. Per the CIC directive, FOIA should be disregarded on that topic. Neither confirm nor deny -- Ben 18:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Bleach image issue

I agree, the original image is the best - on quality grounds alone I would delete the other image. We should also still be careful about spoilers right at the top because the English dub has a ways to go before it reaches that part (hopefully it cuts out the fillers, but that's too much to hope for...).

On a side note, I cannot see the edit war. Where is it taking place?

-- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 16:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tjstrf

I tried to clarify my position on the delete page [[2]] I really wish you would reconsider your position in light of the harassment that I have received from Chochopk. Does my last message clarify everything better? Coinman62 16:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Yumichika Picture

The reason I reverted your previous picture edit is because I feel that the "shiny Yumichika" picture is not adequate as a main one. Usually, main pictures are more serious ones, or at least not as comic as that. I think that the previous picture should still be used, and perhaps include the "shiny Yumichika" somewhere else in the article. MoChan 03:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

So, uh, can the main picture be this one again? http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/b/b7/250px-Yumichika.jpg

Newyorkbrad's RfA

This is to thank you for your early support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 17:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

It's because a user is being incivil about me at my RFA, and assuming bad faith about me. --SunStar Net^talk 01:29, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
