Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. -- cds^(talk) 00:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.-- cds^(talk) 00:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing.

This edit. — FireFox ^user_talk 17:10, 01 June '06

And this. — FireFox ^user_talk 17:14, 01 June '06

The warning was indeed from Xyrael, who asked me to reply to your comment on his talk page, because he was busy at the time. — FireFox ^user_talk 17:17, 01 June '06

He didn't have the time to reply to my article, but he had the time to ask somebody else to reply for him? What made him ask you? --JD^talk_email 17:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to your article? He was busy and didn't have any time left so he asked me to reply for him. — FireFox ^user_talk 17:20, 01 June '06

I meant my message. --JD^talk_email 17:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It takes a lot less time to ask someone to reply for him, than reply himself. — FireFox ^user_talk 17:23, 01 June '06

Nobody is against you. Please try to understand we are all trying to write an encylopedia here, and each of us getting angry with each other is not helping our case. — FireFox ^user_talk 17:24, 01 June '06

Not my words; they were Xyrael's. --JD^talk_email 17:27, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopaedia.

Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. -- 9 cds^(talk) 15:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page protection

Re: [1]. Please refrain from adding false {{protected}} tags on pages, which can only be protected by administrators. Thanks, — Fire Fox • 14:36, 09 June '06

Doesn't that actually protect the page you put it on? I only put it on the page because I saw it uesd elsewhere, and I assumed it would stop what I thought was vandalism on the page. Sorry. --JD^talk_email 14:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, no it doesn't. All it is used for is to make clear that the page is protected and why, but doesn't actually protect that page. Protections can only be made by admins, we have a little "protect" tab. :) — Fire Fox • 14:56, 09 June '06

Oh, okay then. Thanks for that, and sorry again. --JD^talk_email 14:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images you added/reverted on BB Aus

Any reason you removed them again? I think they looked quite good :) -- 9 cds^(talk) 16:20, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the email - they look good - good job! -- 9 cds^(talk) 20:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Big Brother Australia series 6

Just to let you know I've removed the images you put on there because we can't claim fair use if they're on a talk page. -- 9 cds^(talk) 21:59, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Toadfish

I'd like to know why on earth you have moved the Toadfish Rebecchi article, particularly why you have done this without engaging in discussion. mge kelly 08:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it back. See the edit summary for my reasoning. mge kelly 11:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Australia/UK

This has nothing to do with Wikipedia, but I am curious - You live in the UK, but watch the Australian version of BB? How, and more importantly, why? :)

Sfacets 17:38, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've watched Big Brother Australia for a while, but BB06 is the only series I've followed properly. It's just more interesting than BB7 this year. The live feeds on the website help me keep up to date with what happens; and the news section. It's kinda tragic, I know, but I have much time on my hands, and not many ways to spend it. --JD^talk_email 17:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An idea

Just a thought, but I don't think it's a very good idea to say "please post new messages above this message" – if somebody clicks the add new section link, which a lot of people do, it will automatically put the message below your notice. Thanks, — Fire Fox 17:42, 17 June '06

TfD nomination of Template:BBArticleSpoiler

Template:BBArticleSpoiler has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. -- 9 cds^(talk) 15:32, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BB TfD

Regarding this edit - shall I take this as an author request to delete the template? If so, I can delete the template and close the TfD immediately. Secondly, regarding this edit, everybody is allowed and welcome to leave messages on your talk page. Please stay civil, and remember that anybody and everybody is allowed to post on someone's talk page. Thanks, — Fire Fox 15:41, 18 June '06

Ok well seeing as you haven't requested deletion, I can't speedy it so the TfD will stay open until we get a consensus or you state you want it deleted. As for 9cds, she, and everyone else on Wikipedia is fully allowed to post on a talk page whenever they feel fit. They don't need permission from whoever the talk page is of, and they shouldn't feel that it has to be important to post. Nobody owns Wikipedia, and that includes nobody owns your talk page (same applies to talk pages and articles). Thanks, — Fire Fox 15:47, 18 June '06

You can't stop people from talking to you. The only thing you can do to "stop people from talking to you" is ignoring them, which is a very bad etiquette and is severely frowned at. — Fire Fox 15:52, 18 June '06

What do you mean when 9cds does it to you? — Fire Fox 15:53, 18 June '06

I am not aware of any occasion where 9cds has ignored you. However, whenever this is the case, with any user, don't "complain". You were probably appearing uncivil which may be why you received warnings about personal attacks. As I said though, I am not aware of any specific incidents. — Fire Fox 16:03, 18 June '06

As I said, I was not aware of specific incidents and wasn't prepared to go searching for one. This instance when you were asked to stay civil had nothing to do with anyone ignoring you so I can't see how it is relevant here. — Fire Fox 16:15, 18 June '06

Right, but does that seem civil to you? Users aren't required to reply to a message as soon as they receive it, they can do it when they see fit, and are much less obliged to ever reply when they're met with an incivil comment (verging on a personal attack) half an hour later. — Fire Fox 16:22, 18 June '06

If you've got the time to make endless reverts to other pages... — Fire Fox 16:31, 18 June '06

She. Your comment appeared incivil at the time. — Fire Fox 16:34, 18 June '06

She. There is no point keep going on about the same thing to me all day, because I don't know why she decided not to reply to your question, and there is probably a perfectly good explanation but I don't know it. — Fire Fox 16:42, 18 June '06

This is a Wiki. Everybody is free to do what they like, in reason, and don't have to do anything. But as I said, completely ignoring somebody for no good reason is seen as a bad etiquette, but it's up to you if that's the path you decide to take. You cannot, however, stop people from posting on your talk page. And just for the record, 9cds is female. — Fire Fox 16:48, 18 June '06

There are many possible results of choosing to ignore someone... for example being disrespected by the community, people choosing to ignore you back, and the chance of it affecting any future requests you make, such as adminship. — Fire Fox 16:55, 18 June '06

It could happen. The nomination certainly could. But then again, if WP:RFR ever lifts off, it could affect that too. — Fire Fox 16:59, 18 June '06

Well I was just giving you an example. It could affect absolutely anything. — Fire Fox 17:04, 18 June '06

Fair use

Hi, you currently have two pictures on your userpage that have a 'fair use' license. This is not allowed, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use (under "Policy"). Could you please remove the images? Thanks! --Joanne B 16:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: File:BB05-Tim.JPG

Yes I am, and so I have done so for you. — Fire Fox 10:04, 19 June '06

Big Brother Australia series 6

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.-- 9 cds^(talk) 18:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. — Fire Fox 19:20, 19 June '06

The most I can do is just look over the situation. One more revert in the next few hours from either of you will cause you to be blocked for violating the three revert rule. Just best to carry on discussing the situation, and I will make sure things don't get out of hand. — Fire Fox 19:22, 19 June '06

No but I offered a reminder to her in person on IRC, which I would have done the same to you if you had been there. — Fire Fox 19:24, 19 June '06

9cds

For your information, 9cds is female, and prefers to be referred to using the pronoun "she." By refusing to call her "she," it can come across as rude, and I know that you do not want to be percieved in that manner. Happy editing! -- Where 19:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing to call her by the wrong gender pronoune, however, could be seen as violating WP:CIVIL. -- Where 19:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It might seem minor to you, but it is not to 9cds. Please cease and desist. -- Where 19:44, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know; but I told you this with her approval. Anyhow, thanks for agreeing to attempt to stop :) -- Where 21:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She. I am she. By saying he you are insulting me. -- 9 cds^(talk) 11:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At the MedCab page you have accidentally called 9cds "he" again. Don't use a gender specific pronoun (eg "they" works for me) or use "she". If you continue to use "he" we will have to assume you are trying to annoy 9cds, and a block may ensue.--Commander Keane 11:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did say I would try to stop. I'm too used to using 'he'. --JD^talk_email 11:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like communication between the two of you is pretty tense. While I'm not saying she's perfect and you're not, I do think it would help, especially as you've tried starting a mediation case. Of course anyone could go and change all the instances of 'he' to 'she' but it's probably more effective if you do it... --Joanne B 12:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're suggesting I do that over all of Wikipedia!? I don't even remember half of the places where I've done that. I'll do it on the mediation case if it makes people feel better, but I'm not all too sure about the rest of Wikipedia... I guess I could do them as I encounter them again. --JD^talk_email 12:09, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I did actually use her in the mediatioon cabal page... Once... --JD^talk_email 12:10, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, sorry, I didn't mean all over Wikipedia :) I meant just the mediation thing, as that is hopefully the start to a constructive solution for the problem you both encountered. --Joanne B 15:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well I did that earlier. And I'll try to keep to female pronouns in future. --JD^talk_email 15:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Big_Brother_housemates

Hi, do you know if it would be possible to change the colour of individual lines in this template? If you don't have a clue about this sort of thing, then sorry for asking. --JD^talk_email 14:45, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by changing the color of the individual lines? Do you mean the lines where the participants are listed? And if so, do you want to be able to change it for each individual use of the template?--SomeStranger^(t) 14:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had an idea that would mean people could get rid of the table on BB06 if a consensus is reached. Instead of having the table, and the lines colour-coded for nominations and evictions, I was thinking maybe do it in that template. If it is possible, and if you have some spare time, could you do it just for the template on the BB06 article please? Or tell me how I would be able to do it, if making such a change would affect the automatic alternate colours used for each row? --JD^talk_email 14:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather acheive consensus before making all these changes. Why don't you go ask 9cds who seems to be the other person heavily involved with the Big Brother related pages. If she agrees then I will go ahead and make the changes requested.--SomeStranger^(t) 15:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure, but I think 9cds has been blocked from editing for a few hours. But I'm sure she'd jump at the opportunity to have the table deleted. I'll try and ask her on the IRC thing, and I'll get back to you. Thanks. --JD^talk_email 15:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest leaving a message on her talk page regardless. Blocked users can still edit their own talk page.--SomeStranger^(t) 15:16, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I spoke to 9cds on IRC, and she said that it was alright to do that. Right before she said she was going to report me to a freenode operator. Anyway, so should I post something about it on the BB06 article's talk page for other peoples' opinions? --JD^talk_email 15:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JD, I never said that, but I do recall this part of the conversation:

17:54:22 <JD_UK> i spoke to somebody about it and they said that i shud ask u 
first since u made it
17:54:28 <JD_UK> but i think they can do it\
17:54:42 <cds> They can, yes.
17:54:53 <cds> But it's polite to talk to people about changes, rather than 
              start edit wars.
17:55:01 <JD_UK> really?
17:55:09 <JD_UK> you should maybe take your own advice
17:55:26 <cds> Reporting you to a freenode oper.

Which is against freenode guidelines. I will, however, work on the changes in my own time. -- 9 cds^(talk) 16:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather the person I asked did it if anybody did it. --JD^talk_email 16:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to be a part of the conflict between the two of you, please argue somewhere else. As far as the template goes, I had just started making changes when I saw this message. The color changing is implemented for the first 3 contestants (Go see the code if you want to add it to the rest). If you would rather have me finish it up for you, then let me know.--SomeStranger^(t) 16:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

=PLEASE DO NOT DELETE DISCUSSION PAGES - THANK YOU= Ste4k 19:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but after much discussion with you today about what is necessary to follow policy,WP:V,WP:NOR,etc.,you have chosen to only ignore my comments and revert my work several times.

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

Re: Big Brother Australia series 6

I understand your concern, however I'm afraid the article will remain protected for the time being to give all parties a chance to cool down. My advice to you is to work with the others on their concern. Based on the looks of this talk page and other related pages, you all still seem to be at a misunderstanding. Keep in mind articles are always being reverted, so it is not always necessary to fall back on previous edits. As far as this article is concernced, you will need to come to a consensous on the article's talk page (which you appear not to be doing at present) and then I will unprotect. Please stop fighting with fellow Wikipedians, it is wasting everyone's time. You need to accept the fact that others may disagree with your views, and move on. --Pilot|guy 18:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Big Brother Int'l

I've removed it because it was untrue. Before BB 2002 Australia there were double evictions (BB2 Poland) and BB nominating all the housemates (several seasons of BB Portugal). About BB themes, some countries do use the same one. Spain, Italy, Argentina and Ecuador used the same theme. Pabs

Hello good friend! There's really no point in vandalizing Wikipedia... countless users have tools and programs that spot vandalism, and we have almost a constant lineup of users who volunteer to monitor harmful edits, as well as automated bots that can locate vandalism and change it back almost instantly. Vandalism just like yours has been done countless times in the past, and we know how to deal with it. Yes, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia anyone can edit, and sure, it might be tempting to totally fuck an article up, but that's not what we're here to do. If you'd like to edit Wikipedia in a constructive manner that doesn't make you look like a complete idiot, feel free to do so, otherwise, it's best to just leave it alone. That saves you the time of making pointless changes, and saves me the time of reverting those changes just as fast, if not faster, than you make them. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy using, and maybe editing, Wikipedia.

And if you have any questions, feel free to direct your inquiries to my delicious talk page; where we can sit and make banter over a lovely cup of green tea. --JD^talk_email 13:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
