Privacy essay

Heyas!

You might've noticed the essay on privacy I linked to on the mail list...er, yesterday? I was hoping you'd give it a once-over, though I do understand you're quite busy.

Thanks. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 04:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

and which I linked to on my userpage day before yesterday,[1] so clearly I think well of it - but if you want a critique you are right, please be patient - but I will take a look as soon as I can. KillerChihuahua^?!? 10:22, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

NOR

Yo dog - do you know that NOR has been protected for several days and some people want it unprotected? I haven't been able to sort out the precise cause of the dispute but there is a lot of talk on the page about how stupid the policy is, claiming that it forbids all use of primary sources. I have commented that it allows the use of primary sources if they are verifiable and not used to forward an editors own POV, and some have responded that well that's a stupid policy too. I think it is serious and hope you can check it out. Current discussion is occuring in many different threads which makes it hard to pin down, but the fact that the page was protected tells me something serious is going on, and whatever the source of the dispute editors currently active on the talk page have not reached any consensus. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear me... This is Not Good. I'm terribly buried right now with various things, and probably should have put a busy tag up. I will do my utmost to take a look as soon as possible - thank you very much for drawing my attention to this. KillerChihuahua^?!? 00:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Should this be the object of an RFC? I am going to poll other editors I really respect, but thought you should know. Slrubenstein | Talk 21:29, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Premature at this time IMO. KillerChihuahua^?!? 21:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay. But it still concerns me. Slrubenstein | Talk 21:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Me too, but policy pages have erupted into worse messes than this and then righted themselves )mental image of ship almost swamped, slowly righting.) KillerChihuahua^?!? 00:45, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Note

I'll step away from Jim62sch's talk page at your request. — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much - I just don't see how continuing this will have a positive result at all, especially given all that's been going on. KillerChihuahua^?!? 00:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Giorgio Armani

I disagree with your reasoning in removing the speedy tag. Of course he is notable. But the article as it stands is blatant advertising, not just an article that reads like an ad. Big difference. However, I will not revert you, just point out that you're thinking simplistically. Jeffpw 10:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Replied on user talk page. KillerChihuahua^?!? 10:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Shopping for a less careful admin by edit warring over the tag is not advised. As an admin here, you're pretty much required to assume good faith with an established editor, aren't you????? I'm not feeling the love, puppy. In any event, I acknowledge the power imbalance in our Wikipedia relationship and am not shopping or (as I stated earlier) reverting. Still reads as blatant advertising in my book, though. Pity you can't see it. Jeffpw 11:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

This has nothing to do with a power imbalance. This has everything to do with speedy criteria, which I explained to you on your page. My comments on edit warring with the admin who denied speedy were a direct reply to your comment of "I will not revert you". I appluad your good judgement in that decision; and the quote which you pasted above is cherry picked from my reply to you, for what reason I cannot imagine, but taking it out of context certainly skews its meaning. As I have neither accused nor insinuated wrongdoing on your part, and in fact said "good thinking" I fail to see your point in bringing up AGF. KillerChihuahua^?!? 12:01, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

more nor

Since others are taking stabs at rewriting this policy, I have decided to try my own. Before I share it with a wider group, could you go over it and make such edits as you see fit? Thanks [2] Slrubenstein | Talk 14:44, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Strangest AfD ever?

Hello Huahua. I see that the top secret OTRS handshake or whatever it is has been divulged to you. What the (expleted) do you think "Temporary keep per OTRS Ticket # 2007072910013442" might be about? "Temporary" seems stretching it: actually I'd pretty much forgotten about this fellow until reminded by this. -- Hoary 14:04, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Another OTRS person is currently looking into this, so I'll contact him. Remember that you can always renominate for deletion - I have looked at the ticket and this should not present a problem unless other issues arise which are not in the current ticket. Hope that wasn't too obscure! KillerChihuahua^?!? 16:02, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Let's first wait till this other OTRS person has done his or her looking (though I wonder how many more weeks this will take). -- Hoary 09:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

COI/N Thread

Hey, KC. I posted a thread about that issue earlier on AN/I, but I was pointed →thataway→ to the COI Noticeboard and have posted the issue there. Your comments would be appreciated! Thanks :) Arky ^¡Hablar! 21:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

What up dawg!

Congrats,KC!;-) I didn't know that admin meant adminastrator. I thought it was and ad making company trying to win you over. My Bad. I hope there's no offense, KC or other admins. Sorry. So your the Man now! Well, one of the Men and Ladies. Here a nice bone for a new admin. --Angel David^?!?Presents 21:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I've been an administrator for over a year now. KillerChihuahua^?!? 03:57, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

A year? Wow! I had no clue! Hey I have found the editor who sent me that Ghost Whisperer message his name is "The no erz", the only way I could find out who his indentity was by looking at the history of my talk page since he didn't put in the tildes (~~~~). However, I emailing back to him but he's not responding. In creppier terms he hasn't edited since August 17! It's like he's dead or something. I mean I know a person is sick because they put {{user health inactive}} and I know when a person is on vacation the put {{vacation3}} and I know that when a person is on a break by them putting {{wikibreak}}. Yes, this is strange indeed! --Angel David 23:53, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Not always. Sometimes a person is taken suddenly ill, or has a real-life crisis which does not allow for the time to add a message, or takes up a person's attention to a degree that they do not even think of Wikipedia until the crisis is over. Also, there are those who edit occasionally or leave without explanation. Many use those templates, but not all. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh! Now, I get it! But, I'm not sure if that happened. One time before August 15, he did not edit sice June. Oh well. Probably it happened to him twice. And KC,I think you would be interseted in putting the template {{respond conversation start}} because, you know, you respond on your own talk page.--Angel David 19:18, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Which I already state, in the Talk to the puppy section at the header, above. I prefer not to have multiple templates cluttering up my talk page - even if there are templates for everything I say there, it would take a screen and a half to scroll past them. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:19, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Since it's your talk page, I respect that. I understand. I'm totally fine with that--Angel David 21:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Gorham Manufacturing Company

Say, do you have a source for Gorham having designed the Davis Cup and the America's Cup? All evidence I can find points the other way... the America's Cup appears to have been made by Garrard & Co in the UK, and the Davis Cup by Shreve, Crump & Low... for the time being, I have removed this mention from the article. Lupo 16:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Hm, found it at the company web site. Can we find an independent confirmation of that claim? I consider it highly unlikely that Gorham in the U.S. designed that bowl that Garrard & Co in the UK made in 1848 and sold and that then became the America's Cup... Lupo 19:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't know about the America's Cup, but it appears that although the order for the Davis Cup was placed with Shreve, Crump & Low, they outsourced or subcontracted to William B. Durgin Company who actually made the cup, which would make all three articles incorrect. This is according to the Davis Cup site. It is possible something like that happened with the America's cup as well. KillerChihuahua^?!? 23:14, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but I can't find any evidence for that. [3] says the America's Cup was "designed and built be Robert Garrard, the Royal Jeweller in England". Lupo 08:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea, and don't have time to do any real research. I wrote the article over a year ago, I think, because it was a redlink, and my source for that information was the Gorham website. I applaud your desire to correct any inaccuracies, and wish you luck. I hope the information I located on the Davis cup is helpful to you. KillerChihuahua^?!? 13:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Enjoy

Enjoy your nice autumn wikibreak, or should I say Fall hol.? ;) ... dave souza, talk 22:21, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

thanks dear, I'm just trying for a bit break from the gyte fowk here. KillerChihuahua^?!? 23:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Have fun, KC. You deserve it! Cheers, Arky ^¡Hablar! 02:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't seem to be taking that thorough a break, but thanks! (I'm trying to cut back.. maybe hypno-therapy would work?) KillerChihuahua^?!? 13:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Oversight?

In your opinion, is this (note the surname removal) enough to warrant oversight intervention? Cheers, Arky ^¡Hablar! 14:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

its up to individuals whether they give personal information or not. He's 18, so he's not a minor - which would be automatic oversight. My advice is to discuss it with him, warn him of possible harassment and stalking, and abide by his wishes. If he agrees it should be oversighted, contact an oversight person and have it done asap. If he disagrees, that's his prerogative. KillerChihuahua^?!? 15:07, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

The Moulton affair

Sorry to disrupt your break, but after you modified Filll's view to be inside, Moulton made this edit deleting some of Filll's view and adding his own parody, with the edit summary "- Is this section really a kosher part of an RfC?" Not knowing the answer, I re-added Filll's comments under a note saying what I'd done, moved Moulton's comment under a comments heading and told Odd Nature that signing assent might be worth reviewing in light of the changes.[4] Should the whole lot be moved to the talk page? Puzzled, ... dave souza, talk 18:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I quote directly from the boilerplate on the Rfc page: "All signed comments and talk not related to an endorsement should be directed to this page's discussion page. Discussion should not be added below. Discussion should be posted on the talk page. Threaded replies to another user's vote, endorsement, evidence, response, or comment should be posted to the talk page." Feel free to remove or move to talk page any content not following this. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

...and I removed the "comments" per the above, btw. If Moulton wants to comment, he can do so on the talk page as he has now been repeatedly instructed. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, will remove my own note in a bit. Notice that you didn't undo Moulton's last edit,[5], which frankly seems a bit off to me. For information, I corrected a grammatical error in the Description after email discussion with Filll, as it seemed rather ambiguous to me. Sorry this is rather tedious, dealing with Moulton's rather like trying to push back treacle. In my opinion. ... dave souza, talk 20:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Oops, missed that. Its gone now, with a warning about WP:POINT. Is Moulton trying to get blocked over his disruptive behavior in his own Rfc? KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh and I'm from the American south. We don't "push back treacle" we "wrestle grits" - grits are a kind of porridge, sort of... well, grits are hard to explain in any concise fashion. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. <grins> Trying to envisage KC grits wrasslin'.... Moulton's behaviour does seem to be consistent. .. dave souza, talk 20:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

User:LegitimateAndEvenCompelling trouble-a-brewing

KC- I notice you've had prior dealings with this user, ao I thougt you'd be the admin to go to. LAEC runs a website that is opposed to the American Library Association, and over the past year since he joined wikipedia, he has devoted the bulk of his wikipedia activities to crusading against Libraries.

His first username was SafeLibraries.org (the url of his website), although at some point he was required to give up that username, since it was his site's url, and instead he chose his site's motto: "Legitimate And Even Compelling" (referring I believe to need to keep children from accessing american libraries).

Along the way, he's caused more than his share of disruption. In Oct '06, and RFC was filed against him. Glancing over his talk page, it seems like he's been causing plenty of stir in the intervening year. And now, he's been editwarring Another American Libraries Association article.

Because I filed the Oct 06 RFC, people contacted me to see if I had any suggestions for how to resolve his bad behavior. Regrettably, I'm swamped by real life lately, so I don't can't take lots of time to devote to the issue. Would you be willing to take charge of helping deal with LAEC-- or if not, could you please refer the matter to whomever should look at the situation?

Thanks so much! --Alecmconroy 08:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Anything in particular you wish to point me to, or is it the COI which concerns you? KillerChihuahua^?!? 11:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, conflicts of interest is troublesome, but if his edits were in the ballpark of being good ones, I'd wouldn't sweat the COI. It's more the tendentious use of wikipedia as a soapbox-- undertaking a systemic campaign to insert any possible criticisms of libraries into wikipedia, however tenuous.

Take for example the latest edit war. The YALSA, a library organization, does a billion different things, one of which is publish lists of popular books. It once included a book called "The Gossip Girl" on a reader list. Some people think "The Gossip Girl" is controversial. LAEC uses the diseparate facts to contruct an argument that the YALSA is immoral, and he goes to the YALSA repeatedly reinserts an article about "The Gossip Girl is racy reading"-- a news article which doesn't even mention YALSA. The text of the YASLA wikipedia article doesn't mention "The Gossip Girl." The link so inappropriate for the article, I don't know where to begin on what it violates: Battlefield, Soapboxing, Conflict of Interest, Original Research. But LAEC reinserts the link [6][7][8][9]. When 3RR prevents him from readding it, another editor with a suspiciously meaty/socky edit history shows up to add it back in for him. [10]

One or two of these incidents would be overlookable-- I'd just do whatever was necessary to restore the article and move on. But this sort of think has been going on for the better part of a year, despite an RFC against him. I'm at the point where I don't even feel like bothering to do the "edit war, recruit nonpartisan eyeballs, acheive consensus, editwar" cycle-- he'll just stop for a few weeks, move to a different library article, and start the process over again. It's at the point where somebody in the administration has to step in to start the process over again. --Alecmconroy 18:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I can help a little

I won't be on for a little while later, but I'm willing to help. Sxeptomaniac 22:50, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Looks like the topic ban discussion accelerated to an indefinite block last night, due to some really poor choices on that editor's part. Sorry I wasn't able to jump in, but don't be afraid to let me know if you would like a hand in the future. Sxeptomaniac 17:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that one went fast. He canvassed, and ignored the issues. I thought there would be time to give him another chance and work with him. Thanks for being available to make the effort, pity he shot himself before you could get there. I will indeed keep you in mind, and I will try not to be so slow to ask next time! Thanks again - KillerChihuahua^?!? 17:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

KC....sorry about that whole debate comment. I'm not really sure what in the world I was thinking, saying things like that. You're completely right, and I'm sorry. LAEC had no alternative, and after all this, he was rightfully blocked. That's the last time I give in to canvassing from someone. Arky ^¡Hablar! 19:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

KC - yes, my edit to Rosalind Picard here was probably ill-timed, at the least. It was, I assure you, a joke, in keeping with the obvious reasons after the protection, and not intended as point-y at all. Thank you for playing. What do we have for him, Johnny-O? ;) --profg 19:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Email for you

FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 16:17, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem

I'm glad I could help out. I see your page got protected. Do you know how you pissed off that guy who kept editing your page? Maybe reverted one of his other vandalism attempts? 66.189.137.113 04:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

He'd just come off a one week block and promptly started vandalizing articles. I blocked for a month. He claims he has a life, but apparently was planning to spend part of his precious time disrupting Wikipedia, and since I blocked him, he promptly started making socks to complain. KillerChihuahua^?!? 10:50, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Health effects of abortion

I notice that you recently got involved in an edit war on the Abortion page. I would appreciate it if you would also contribute to the associated discussion on Talk:Abortion. Thank you. Sheffield Steel^talk_stalk 14:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Did I? I don't think so. I have made one edit to the article in September, at 20:29, 15 September 2007. Prior to that, I made one edit in June, on the 7th, and two in May. In February I made nine edits, and in January one edit. You surely are not calling my edits back in February an "edit war", are you? Or if you are, you are using the term loosely, as that particular series of edits was almost all reverting vandalism. Perhaps you'd care to reconsider the phrasing of your request? KillerChihuahua^?!? 14:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, the edit history looks like this:

Photouploaded removes text
Ferrylodge reverts that edit
Lion's Heart reverts that edit
KillerChihuahua reverts that edit
Lion's Heart reverts that edit
ElinorD reverts that edit

... so hopefully you can understand why I interpreted your edit as "getting involved in an edit war". On reflection, though, since Lion's Heart provided an edit summary that did not include the word "revert", I can see how it would not have looked like revert-warring. I did not mean to imply bad faith on your part and I'm sorry if I gave that impression.

Anyway, I was hoping to get more discussion and less reverting on this issue, hence my request above, but I quite understand if you don't want to involve yourself further in this. Sheffield Steel^talk_stalk 15:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

You are my new hero

Just a friendly note to apologize for my past snippetyness. I am starting to see and enjoy the method in your madness. I do think we are ideologically at loggerheads, and I do not think that will change. However, I do hope that we can be friends. Please let me know if you feel I need to make amends and how I might do so. Cheers.LCP 16:59, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

You just did!!!! KillerChihuahua^?!? 17:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Very confused by your edit summary

Why did you say "Photo, just because there is a discussion about possible changes does NOT mean you get to make any changes you want while the discussion is underway.)"? Lion's Heart was the person who removed the image, not me. All I did was place the "no consensus template", is that some huge problem? Did you think I removed the image? Please explain. Thank you. Photouploaded 17:40, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, my apologies - I read the history wrong, apologies for confusion - I've already left an apology on Lions Heart's page, was going to yours next - however the tag is not necessary, please remember to use tags with discretion - such tags are more appropriate on less-edited articles which are heavily biased or need massive cleanup. An article such as Abortion is always going to offend one side or the other, usually both sides (especially if we're getting the NPOV right) so cluttering the article with tags is not only unhelpful, it is counter-productive. Let me know if you have any questions about this - and apologies again for my confusing edit summary. KillerChihuahua^?!? 17:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your willingness to apologize. Thank you. I wish to humbly request that in the future, you will try to refrain from making personal remarks in edit summaries. Unfortunately, now there is a permanent record of you chastising me in an edit summary of the article, which really shouldn't be there. I will be happy to accept your apology if you will please try to make your edit summaries neutral from now on. This would reduce the error margin in the record. Thank you for your consideration. Photouploaded 17:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, I understand what you are saying about the template, and though I do think it should be there to help bring some fresh voices to the discussion (since it seems to be the same small group of people arguing the same things over and over again), I won't put it back. Photouploaded 17:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I am well aware of the permanent record, and I made no personal remarks. I didn't, for example, say "Photouploaded is an idiot" or "Lion's Breath is a jerk". I addressed (erroneously, as it happens) edits made, not individuals, and I addressed my comments to the person I believed had made the edits. I was in error over what was done and who did it, hence my apology; this does not under any circumstances translate to your assertion that I made a personal remark. Your swiftness to accuse others of incivility and personal remarks is growing tiresome; surely you realize that you are alienating other editors by your constant failure to AGF and erroneous accusations? KillerChihuahua^?!? 18:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm amazed, KC, that you would be so cavalier and dismissive. The edit summary you made said, "Photo, just because there is a discussion about possible changes does NOT mean you get to make any changes you want while the discussion is underway." That is a personal remark. No, it is not an insult, but it needlessly makes me look like I did something wrong where I didn't. I humbly and politely as possible asked you to change the behavior that led to the error, and now you sound angry. I guess I just can't ask for anything here, even if I'm being stepped on. Photouploaded 18:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Calling me "cavalier and insensitive" is a personal remark.

If you're going to edit Wikipedia, people will address you in posts and edit summaries. If you edit from an IP, people will address you by IP or a portion of the IP number. Otherwise, there is confusion as to who is being addressed. If you do not wish to be addressed, the only way to ensure that is to cease editing Wikipedia. I suggest you instead accept that people will address comments directly to you from time to time, and realize that it is not a "personal remark" when they do so. Consider it synonymous with the address on an envelope. KillerChihuahua^?!? 18:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I do think you are being too dismissive of my concerns, I don't know how else to say it. It's not meant as an insult, it's meant to try to bring something you don't seem to care about to your attention.

My impression is that edit summaries are meant to be a neutral record, available to all, of the changes to an encyclopedia article. They are not like envelopes being sent to one person or another. They are more like a signature on a work log, where it wouldn't be appropriate to say "10:35AM - Removed 4 struts that MARK SAFFORD put in backwards" (when Mark Safford didn't make that change). Photouploaded 18:28, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

(outdent) Check any high-traffic page's history - try WP:ANI, for example. Summaries are frequently used to communicate brief messages rather than using the talk page. Errors are sometimes made; and sometimes apologies are made for the errors and sometimes (much more often) not. The world will not end tomorrow if there is an occasional edit summary which is erroneous, poorly phrased, or names the wrong party. Its an oops, not a personal attack. Accept apologies if offered, and if not, then usually its best to not make a big deal out of it - its almost certain nothing was meant by it. KillerChihuahua^?!? 18:55, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

take a look?

Could you take a look at this discussion? I think we have a repeat of similar POV issues elsewhere and would appreciate your input. Thanks (By the way, my cousin Peewee, a chihuahua, bit me - well, nipped my thumb - when I was about 5, but I've forgiven him and don't hold it against you...)

Never mind. I found a workaround. Sorry to have bothered you.LCP 22:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Help?

KC, would you please help me? The problem I am having is that LCP keeps editing a comment I made on their talk page. They inserted a link into my comment that I did not put there, it was not part of my original comment. This "substantially changes its meaning" and thus I see it as vandalism. Would you please help me? Photouploaded 22:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I need a dif. Do you know how to paste a dif? KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, be right there with it. Photouploaded 22:28, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Sheesh ok, I think I have this figured out. You posted [13] and later, when you blanked that from your page (with, I might add, the edit summary of "removing trolling"), he copied the posts from your page. Is that close enough, or am I missing any strongly relevant details? KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:33, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Almost. Before I added the whole conversation, I first tried just adding (about half a dozen times) a live link to the conversation. That is what Photo calls “changing his meaning” and reverted a half dozen times or so. In the process, I also added a general warning to my page warning unauthorized people off of deleting or modifying content. I said that I would consider unauthorized editing and deleting as vandalism. This had no effect on Photo’s behavior on my talk page. I then added a warning directly to Photo’s Talk page and asked him to stop changing my talk page. That didn’t help either. Sorry to bother you with all of this.LCP 22:39, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

That's what I thought. You edited the link to go to an old version, so it wasn't rendered meaningless, yes?

(interjection) No! That isn't what LCP did. LCP didn't link to an old version for posterity, he linked to the diff of me removing the conversation. When I pointed out that the edit was not accurate, he reverted it SIX TIMES and threatened to report me if I didn't let his edit stand: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). - Photouploaded 22:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

(ec) Read my post below. He can revert 200 times on his own talk page, it isn't against 3RR. You, Photo, have violated 3RR, HARASS, EW. Drop it. Apologize. Be done. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22: 56, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, that is modifying another's post. However, as the "meaning" wasn't changed a damn bit, Photo, you're being anal about it. I am perplexed at why anyone would bitch about someone correcting a minor link on a talk page, and I'm not impressed that you violated several policies to edit war on LCP's talk page about it rather than attempting a polite and civil resolution, such as we now have. I'm too nice by far; according to the very clear warning I gave you, by all rights you should be blocked for harassment and 3RR on someone else's talk page.

In the future, LCP, add a secondary post of your own, with commentary such as "link no longer valid, here is link to content referenced in previous post" or somesuch. If its one of my posts, however, feel free to fix the link, I won't object. It is generally frowned upon to edit other editors posts for any reason, so unless you're fairly sure the editor won't object, use the "add a post" method. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for stepping in, it's OK now. Photouploaded 22:55, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I totally felt harassed, and if it wasn’t my Talk page, I would have let it go. What you suggested is what I f-i-n-a-l-l-y figured out. Again, I am sorry that didn't figure that out sooner and instead you ended up getting dragged into the tediousness. I can be a little dense sometimes. Thanks for your help.LCP 23:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

(outdent) Not a problem, I'm here to help. KillerChihuahua^?!? 23:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Question for you

At Talk:Abortion in this diff, a question; it would be hard to find if you weren't looking for it. Photouploaded 02:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not seeing how that is directed to me. KillerChihuahua^?!? 09:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I think KC mis-typed - if I'm not mistaken, I think KC meant to say that like Kuronue said, "womb" and "mother" and "baby" in this context were "emotion-laden, pro-life" terms, not "pro-choice". Tvoz |talk 23:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh dear, yes that's correct. Apologies for any confusion. KillerChihuahua^?!? 23:25, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The club

Yeah, well, I don't like being accused by innuendo, and this is at least the 4th time that that particular editor misrepresented me - I've called him on it each time I've noticed it, and have yet to get anything remotely like an apology. I don't know, when I'm wrong I acknowledge it - apologize for it - explain it - something. This guy just flails around and doesn't respond or reverses the attack when he's called on his misrepresentations, without any evidence. Disagreement, even very vocal disagreement, is not harassment, and I'm not the type to be intimidated by false accusations. Feel free to email me if you have any suggestions.

Please help unblock my account

You appear to be perhaps the only obstacle to unblocking by account at memestream. You commented that you may have got the wrong end of the stick, and then you asked why I needed two accounts. I have given exceptionally good reasons (I made an undertaking with my former partner not to edit psychology topics in the name of lindosland becuase of close links with her business and the fact that we are both called P. Skirrow leading her colleagues (who edit those pages) to mistake my edits for her (she does not edit).

Many editors and admins have testified to a mistake being made. I did nothing outside the rules, I did not edit war, I was always civil and polite, I never edited the same page using both names, and I never deliberately stirred things up. I am currently editing in an intense but very successful fashion with Tim Vickers at neo-Darwinism, the very problematic page that started this, and you are welcome to look there. While that page, which I created, is up for deletion, it now has 15 votes to keep, and has become a good page. I have also listed many pages where I have made huge contributions, always without any problems.

There has been a big mistake (actually I was warned and set up by an anti-creationist group who mistook me for something I am not and will do anything to stop the page I created, but it's futile to go into that - you will see that allegation made by GettaGrippa without prompting from me.

Please take another look (I've summarised to make it easier) and unblock. Regards --Lindosland 11:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Profg

I'd be inclined to block Profg for the stalking, given his previous history William M. Connolley 20:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Would you mind doing it? I'm worn out from the Ferrylodge debacle, and as I have been trying to reason with him, then if you block, it will at least be clear to him that its not personal, he really is stalking according to more than one administrator and perhpas he will be motivated to change his behavior.

I agree with Elinor, this is very very good news if you're back, Severa. Please let one of us know if someone starts harassing you again. I learned from this that the "bully-victim" while almost impossible to counter, can be countered and I hope not to lose any more good editors to someone who maligns people with that type of harassment and character assassination.

I was about to say I don't mind waiting, but it appears one of you has already started at it, so thanks in advance. Also thank you for the thoughtful message you left on my talk page a while back, ElinorD. Needless to say, I gave Wikipedia a wide berth for a couple of months, so I didn't catch it until recently, and it looks as though I've got a lot more catching up to do!

Abortion edits

I have recently noticed two different editors making similar reversions on the same group of articles, including Abortion,[15][16] Post-abortion syndrome,[17][18] and Mexico City Policy [19][20]. Both have also made similar edits to David Reardon.[21][22] What do you make of this correlation in patterns of editing? -Severa (!!!) 20:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

It may be that they are merely interested in the same articles, although IMO there is enough there for a cu request. KillerChihuahua^?!? 21:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Recall question

Hey, KC. I've seen this come up in numerous RfAs, and so I figured I'd ask you :) What are your thoughts on Category:Wikipedia administrators open to recall? I'm personally divided on the issue; I think it's fair to be desysopped if someone misuses admin tools, but I don't think I'd like to have a potential recall hanging over my head...hmm. Oh well, just looking for your thoughts, and happy editing, ( ar ky ) 03:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

{butting in) The "recall" process really has no teeth, feel free to claim you're open to recall if you feel it will help you get sysopped. I know of at least one admin who has openly admitted to lying about being open for recall in his RfA, and at least one other who got his admin bit based on a promise to be open to recall, and then simply removed himself from the recall category when people began questioning his admin actions. There's no need to fear that process, it's completely voluntary and (frankly) a joke. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 04:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Ferrylodge arbitration request

In the Ferrylodge arbitration case, you state that "Also typical is his initial naming of "Ferrylodge v. FeloniousMonk", indicating his mindset of Me. v Them." This connection between the naming and his motives does not follow, because the use of "v." was once the standard for two-person disputes that didn't have any other reasonable name (see Category:Wikipedia Arbitration cases). Only recently was this changed, to make case names sound less adversarial. So what you are attributing to his state of mind may very well just be left-over knowledge of the old case naming conventions. I'd like to request you remove this claim unless you can back it up, because users shouldn't be blamed for shifts in procedure they were unaware of. Picaroon (t) 01:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I have not seen that in the last two years that I've been on en.wp. I'd venture to say it's more likely than note that Ferrylodge was not aware of this either. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 02:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

As a followup, looking in that category you posted, on the first page (A through R), the latest case with "v." (or the like) in the name is May 2006. The others were all in 2004 or 2005. Ferrylodge has no arbcom edits in 2006 or earlier. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 02:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Mediation plz

Hi KC. Today, an editor named Equidistant put on the Conservapedia entry some related articles he thought were appropiate. They were deleted by other users, so Equidistant opened a discussion on the talk page. Only user Hut 8.5 replied. I supported Edquidistant. Given that nobody said nothing else, I thought it was fine to make the edit again, but user Fredrick day reverted it.

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ferrylodge

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The Committee has found that Ferrylodge (talk · contribs) has a long history of disruptive editing on topics related to pregnancy and abortion, but has edited reasonably on unrelated topics, and that he was blocked after a discussion on the Community Sanction Noticeboard that did not have a clear consensus. Ferrylodge is unbanned, but is put on an indefinite editing restriction: "Any uninvolved administrator may ban Ferrylodge from any article which relates to pregnancy or abortion, interpreted broadly, which they disrupt by inappropriate editing." The Community is urged by the Committee to develop a coherent policy regarding the method by which community bans are to be imposed.

Oh for goodness' sake. He lists a pile of reasons for being here, none of which involve writing an encyclopedia, then accuses me of formulating a "Theory of Mind" because I draw the obvious conclusion? Not to mention yet another bit of evidence that he really doesn't understand how Wikipedia works, in criticizing me for not responding to his unblock request - as the blocking admin, I am the only admin barred specifically from responding, but hey - we didn't actually need any further evidence of his general state of Cluelessness, did we? I see the tireless Yamla came in as co-supporter for the Theory of Mind as well. bah. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

My honest opinion about his behavior, and the self-image he attempted to create, are probably not constructively sharable on Wikipedia.

Actually, a dislike of being poked with needles is quite rational. It took 2 or 3 consecutive winters of getting the flu before I accepted the necessity myself. :) MastCell ^Talk 23:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Privacy

I was very surprised when I saw that you changed the tag on that page from "historic" to "guideline" without announcing the change at all [25], months after it had been tagged "historic". I changed it back to proposed. If you think it has consensus, I encourage you to announce it more broadly. You can't expect people to continue to watch a page that is marked as historical for months on end; the point of the tag is to indicate that the proposal has been rejected. — Carl (CBM · talk) 20:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

And now you can be surprised at yourself, as well, since you changed it to "proposed" after four months, without announcing the change at all yourself. If you think it does not have consensus, I encourage you to announce it more broadly. KillerChihuahua^?!? 18:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I announced it on the village pump for policy when I changed it back to proposed; no large group of people complained that it had consensus.[26] I changed it back to proposed rather than rejected to give you and any other supporters a chance to make a case. But unless consensus materializes soon, changing it back to rejected will make sense. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:08, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Your rationale [27] was that it had been a guideline until 8 march 2007, when in fact on that day it was tagged as a guideline for the first time and removed that same day. Did you not analyze the history thoroughly enough? —Random832 04:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Findings of fact vs Accusations

I am wondering what you, as an experienced admin, think of the current RfArb system, in which "Findings of fact" are often indistinguishable from mere "accusations", which are allowed to stand as if they actually have been proven findings, when they sometimes are only poorly (or even undocumented) documented accusations. This situation seems to exist because the one raising the RfArb is always the accuser. While they often do raise legitimate concerns, in some cases they may actually be carrying out a vendetta against someone, and their accusations are then framed as findings of fact. What do you think about this situation and what can be done about it? -- Fyslee / talk 16:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The workshop page has "Proposed findings of fact" and the proposed decision page has "Proposed findings of fact", which are only placed as "Findings of fact" in the final decision if the ArbCom members conclude they are accurate. Does that help illuminate anything or were you talking about something else? KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes and no. I'd rather communicate by email. Since your email isn't activated, please use mine so I can discuss this with you privately. -- Fyslee / talk 21:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

changes to pregnancy page

Hello KillerChihuahua. True I am new to editing on wkp. True I have made a few changes to the pregnancy page. I, too, am very busy in real life being a Consultant Obstetrician/Gynaecologist. The changes I made were all scientifically correct (w/o reference to sources as I noticed that most of what I was reading - and correcting - was also not referenced). Believe me changes were made with the best of intention and according to EBM.

I re-iterate that the correct medical terms are the ones I illustrated: term, preterm, postterm and postdate. Premature and postmature are error-inducing terms and best avoided in this context: Obstetricians and Gynaecologists certainly avoid this ambiguous use of these terms. (You will find that this is consistent with all recent medical literature on this subject). Premature in Obstetrics is best limited to another pregnancy related condition: PROM as in premature rupture of membranes. Definition of "term" = 37 W to 41 weeks + 6 days. This is universally accepted. (NO-ONE defines term as including the period from 42 weeks to 43 weeks). Consequently preterm = up to 36 weeks + 6 days and postterm = 42 weeks and beyond. Using premature and postmature in this context is an ERROR (that's probably why I felt it necessary to correct this). You will find that common sense suffices: mature, and consequently premature and postmature are biological terms whereas we are discussing temporal terms i.e. time-related - weeks and days.

My consideration on the mathematical/statistical vs biological/clinical importance of these terms was also to the point. You will find that this derives from a slightly skewed bell-shaped normal distribution of curve of term delivery dates.

The only point that could be open to discussion is the point I made about the term "postdate". Postdate is best left related to the period from 40 weeks + 1 day up to 41 weeks + 6 days. THIS, I grant, is not universally accepted but is a suggestion that I make put this term to better and preciser use.

Cervical ripening is a correct medical expression and believe I do not need to be chastised for my use of the term. I stated that seminal liquid contains certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) that can favour cervical ripening: this is a fact. I did not state that intercourse should be used to induce labour (which would be rubbish).

I feel the need to avoid reference to the Gregorian calendar as this adds nothing to knowledge of pregnancy dating.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drrem (talk • contribs) 21:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

''Kaiserlich_und_königlich''

Hi, I noticed that you declined speedy deletion for this. That's my fault in part; I was in too much of a hurry when I noticed it was still around. In fact there was a recent RfD on this (Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2007_December_16#.27.27Kaiserlich_und_k.C3.B6niglich.27.27_.E2.86.92_Kaiserlich_und_k.C3.B6niglich); I assumed it was a recreation but it appears that it was just never deleted in the first place. I should have noted the RfD in my db tag, and would have if I wasn't hurrying. Would you mind carrying out the result of the existing deletion discussion? Thanks in advance. — Gavia immer (talk) 15:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

It had been deleted, but was then restored:01:36, 9 January 2008 Toby Bartels (Talk | contribs | block) restored "Kaiserlich und königlich" ‎ (4 revisions restored: There was hardly a consensus for deletion, and it had a rather long history at this unfortunate name; many possible outside links.) As deleting a redirect is more work for the servers than leaving one in place, I suggest we just leave this one alone. It isn't hurting anything where it is. KillerChihuahua^?!? 15:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Hurm, well, all right. At this point, I guess it would need DRV, and I don't think it's worth it - so I guess it's time to let it be. Oh well, I'm sure I can find something else to do; maybe write an encyclopedia or something... — Gavia immer (talk) 16:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Update: It's been marked for speedy again, this time not by me (and I had nothing to do with it, just for the record). That's likely to keep happening, so I may end up putting it through DRV anyhow. This is way too much of a time sink at this point. — Gavia immer (talk) 20:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Meditation

Thank you for notifying the matter. I almost forgot about it until the notice. However honestly to say, although I've set on the page on my watchlist for a long time, I'm very ignorant of the field and meditation procedure. I just restored JJL's reverting to the previous version one time after edit warring occurred between JJL and Manacpowers or melonbarnmonster. Once JJL put my name on the meditation page, I just simply agreed to engage in the matter without much consideration. I don't know I'm qualified to discuss its origin and how to write my comment on there. I must fully acknowledgy the whole content and relevant articles and sources. Do you think that writing my opinion on the page is urgent to proceed? If not, I still need a time to check all citation attached to the article.

Read the links on the welcome message I posted, familiarize yourself with Wikipedia rules, and learn what is acceptable and what is not before you attempt to rewrite major articles. KillerChihuahua^?!? 03:48, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

KillerChihuahua, I can assure you that the exact same time I posted this message, was the time that Baegis posted his or her response, 3:46. Your tone is unacceptable, and your rash conclusions indicitative of bigger problems. Yhvh777 (talk) 03:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Agnosticism

Hello KillerChihuahua. I hope you will recover soon. Some users have added the views of Benedict XVI on the article agnosticism. That's rediciulous! Agnosticism is not a religious ideology. The view of Benedict XVI should be in his biography. I think you should take appropriate action against POV pushers. And, nice to know that you are a rationalist. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 12:43, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Palming

The this user is continuously complaining that because The God Who Wasn't There isn't listed as propaganda, that Expelled shouldn't be. Can you explain to this user that these two pages are completely independent of each other and that The God Who Wasn't There does not have any where as many neutral sources calling it propaganda as Expelled does. Sincerely, Thegreyanomaly (talk) 23:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

blanking of Jon Awbrey

This was done per Alison at [this link]. Alison is traveling, otherwise she would have done it herself. Could you please unban the other editor who has been blocked because of this? Jayneofthejungle (talk) 21:53, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

If Brad or Alison wish to discuss it with me, they may do so here. I blocked (not "banned") the IP for 3 hours for page-blanking, and there has been no request for unblock on the IP talk page. Decisions about page blanking, blocking, etc. are accomplished here on Wikipedia, not on Wikipedia Review or any other site or venue. I am unimpressed with any rationale for decisions made elsewhere, and take exception to the implication that I, or any administrator, should do so. KillerChihuahua^?!? 21:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Who cares where - if anywhere - this was discussed? What about because it's the right thing to do? Is there a _reason_ to have "This user has been banned" as the top google hit for someone's real name? Or are you just being obsessed with process? --Random832 (contribs) 22:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, they both said that this page should be blanked and they are pretty high on the totem pole. Take that as you will. Why wait, since Alison is going to do this when she gets back anyway? cheers, Jayneofthejungle (talk) 22:02, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't recall that either of them had much to do with Aubrey or are aware of the details of his history here. I fail to see that I should be impressed with anything anyone says on WR. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:14, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

How's it being on WR make it different from what an arbitrator and a checkuser/oversight say anywhere else? --Random832 (contribs) 22:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

The point, or one of them, is that if we really believe in BLP, then the #1 google hit for a real life person should probably not be a page that says "Jon Awbrey is banned from editing Wikipedia." True, this is a complex issue when someone who has chosen to edit under his real name gets blocked or banned or taken to Arbcom. However, Awbrey is not such a currently pressing problem that his ban needs to be posted so prominently. It will certainly remain in the history and the block log. Thatcher 22:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Really? I could argue that is not the case at all. BLP is that we should be very careful that what is in an article about someone is well sourced. This is not an article, and it is certainly factual. However, that's not the issue here. My objection is to WR even being mentioned on my talk page as a place to make decisions on what to do on Wikipeida, followed by the rather insulting insinuation that Brad and Alison "outrank" me in the sense that their off-the-cuff decision elsewhere somehow translates into marching orders for me. This has nothing to do with ArbCom nor checkuser; therefore their "rank" precisely equals mine. I am, in short, highly insulted with how this was handled. I await a civil post from either Brad or Alison, and prefer to drop the subject unless and until that transpires. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:27, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I think BLP is explicit that it applies everywhere, not just articles, and if it isn't it should be. Certainly it applies to article talk pages. What about an AfD of a person where one commenter says, "He's a crackpot but a notable crackpot and antisemite so we should have an article on him." If the article is deleted, should the AfD remain in that form? If the article is kept but does not contain properly sourced allegations of antisemitism or being a crackpot, should the comment be left in the AfD? Personally I think we should be careful in all our spaces. A number of arbitration cases have been "courtesy blanked" for similar reasons. Thatcher 22:35, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Concur, and courtesy is not even (or should not be) dependant upon BLP. However, although JA is not a "pressing" issue, he is still an active and annoyng sockmaster, who has stated his intentions to continue to create socks with the intent to cause trouble here. He has not, to the best of my knowledge, ever hinted that he might ever stop. I fail to see why we should extend courtesy to one who is not willing to extend courtesy back. He certainly earned and re-earned his banning. If he wants it off, I feel rather strongly that he should make a commitment to cease making socks here. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:42, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a fair request. Thatcher 22:45, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

And that's the only objection I have. I would prefer it be discussed on ANI once he does make such a commitment, as well - but my personal objection to blanking would be alleviated by such a statement from Awbrey. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

If their "rank" precisely equals yours - and mine - why is a civil post from me worth less than one from one of them? And with I don't recall that either of them had much to do with Aubrey you imply that you do and therefore that your opinion matters somehow more than theirs, therefore you get to overrule anyone else on this. Well, to that I say - at least they can spell Awbrey. --Random832 (contribs) 22:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Good god, that's a snotty comment. Do you always make snide remarks when someone misspells something? KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

No, only when they implicitly claim to be especially "aware of the details of his history here." --Random832 (contribs) 22:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

And I wasn't implying that they "outrank" you - I was simply implying that the fact that one is an arbitrator and the other a checkuser/oversight - in other words, that they're both highly respected users in good standing - might serve to contradict the idea that it should be ignored because it's a BADSITE. --Random832 (contribs) 22:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

The "rank" comment is in response to Jayne's "pretty high on the totem pole" comment.
So anyone who is knowledgeable about any small chunk of history is open to snide and childish rudeness? Interesting approach. I cannot say I condone it.
"should be ignored because its a BADSITE" - you seem to be missing the point by a rather large margin. Its not BADSITE that's the issue. It never was. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

My point is that _you_ claimed to "outrank" _them_ on this issue, implicitly, when you overrode them. Unless you're our resident Awbrey expert, I fail to see how this is the case. And by saying "I fail to see that I should be impressed with anything anyone says on WR." - even when that "anyone" is otherwise highly respected, you are making an issue of the fact that it's WR. --Random832 (contribs) 22:44, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Nonsense. I over-rode an IPs first ever edit, then a newbie who seems to be here to make nonsense articles and tell me I should do what two people, who I have no way of confirming are or are not who they claim to be (being on a completely different site - ANY different site, or IRC, or anywhere NOT Wikipedia) regardless of who they claim to be. If they claimed to be Jimbo I'd revert the IP and put a note on Jimbo's page, and/or email him. This is absurd. Other sites are NOT where to make decisions about Wikipedia, I've said that several times now, and you persist in painting me as irrationally opposed to one site in particular. Cease this bizarre accusation, nothing can come of it. I certainly "outrank" an IP and two unknowns who aren't even on Wikipedia. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

"So anyone who is knowledgeable about any small chunk of history" - You haven't established that you're knowledgeable about this. You haven't even asserted it. Would you like to assert it? And if you know so much about this case, why don't you explain it to the rest of us - why it's so bloody important to put a scarlet letter on this person? --Random832 (contribs) 22:46, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

NOTE please take any future comments on this subject to WP:ANI#User:Jon Awbrey. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

No, but it doesn't make a difference what he believes. I'm not doing this for Awbrey‎ or WR; WP:BLP is non-negotiable policy, and it weighs in favor of blanking. Do no harm. Cool Hand Luke 23:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

KC: I have commented at more length on the ANI thread but since I have a great deal of respect for you, I just want to say this to you directly for you to think about: BLP applies everywhere on the project, not just in article space. And we should do what's right, even if the subject of our doing right is the biggest weenie the project has ever seen. That makes us better than the weenies. Finally, as a CU, I can tell you I will not be hindered in any way by his page being blanked (not deleted, just blanked)... I know who he is already. So should ever other CU here. ++Lar: t/c 03:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Then let it be across-the-board, by open discussion and consensus, not a Special Case for one still-disruptive sockmaster; decided offsite on a completely different forum by two individuals. This is completely unacceptable. If we're making a special exception for this person, there need to be special circumstances. If we're changing standard operating procedure for sockmasters, that needs to be made clear. Either way, it needs to be decided here, not anywhere else. KillerChihuahua^?!? 15:04, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, KC. As things have moved on over to ANI, I've commented over there regarding the blanking of JA's userpage. It is my opinion that it should be blanked in deference to the man's RL name. Luke put it rather well when he said "do no harm" and I concur. We're not here to punish people, nor bring their name into disrepute.

Re. the "rank" issue above; I have rather strong opinions on that matter myself. As far as I'm concerned, bits - be they sysop, checkuser or whatever - do not confer greater authority nor standing upon any person. We're all editors on here, IMO, and we all should have equal weight in these matters. Like Lar says, though we've not met much, I've also a great deal of respect for you however I think we're going to have to disagree on this one - Alison ^❤ 07:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm unclear on what you're disagreeing with me about? KillerChihuahua^?!? 15:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Sorry, I missed your comment. The part I disagree about is where you said to Thatcher above, "I fail to see why we should extend courtesy to one who is not willing to extend courtesy back." I'm of the opinion that, as it's his RL name, we are somewhat obliged to redact it as it's the proper thing to do, regardless of this editor's actions. WP should not be a battleground, and that applies to Mr. Awbrey, too - Alison ^❤ 18:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

In that case, it should apply to all editors who use their real names - what is being proposed is a special, or extra, courtesy to someone who is still vandalizing Wikipedia on a regular basis. I suspect we agree in principle and disagree in application. KillerChihuahua^?!? 18:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I think we're largely in agreement on most of the above (including that whole "rank" thing :) ) but disagree in application. Were any editor to request same, I'd likely consider. It's not a simple issue, though ... - Alison ^❤ 18:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:BOLD

Hi, the edit summary you used here seems to discourage any attempt to change the article without obtaining prior approval. This is not the way Wikipedia works, and I would like to encourage you to familiarize yourself with some of our policies and guidelines. The guideline at issue is that of WP:BOLD, which is explicitly mentioned in the five pillars of Wikipedia. You may also want to review the WP:CONSENSUS policy: I think you will find that, although it is important to gain consensus for edits, one way to do this is to make the edits by being bold. Discouraging all editing on the basis of prior discussion can have a chilling effect, and potentially terrible consequences. I appreciate your attention to this matter in the future. Thank you, silly rabbit (talk) 13:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I assure you, I am quite familiar with the WP:RULES. The cycle is Bold, Revert, Discuss. You were bold, I reverted, and reminded you to discuss. KillerChihuahua^?!? 14:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

The statement "Gain consensus BEFORE changing" suggests that it was wrong of me to attempt to make a change without obtaining prior approval. Did I misinterpret you? Perhaps you can clarify your intentions further. silly rabbit (talk) 14:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with that user this morning. In my AIV report I mentioned that it was from the US House of Representatives. That makes it a "Sensitive IP address", so you are supposed to notify the Wikimedia Foundation Communications Committee here. I just saw that the IP added something that could be a threat on the IP's talk page and went to report that, but it doesn't look like you got to update the Communications committee. You probably should do that quickly. Toddst1 (talk) 21:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello

May I ask why you did the above? Thanks. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 14:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

From what I read, it appeared that evn if the editor(s) using that IP were the same as the IP(s) who had made the edits on your talk page, they didn't do it with that IP - hopefully that isn't too convoluted to follow. That being the case, I blanked the page, as the situation has been handled by other means, and that particular IP talk page would not be the correct placement of the warnings issued. In short, to prevent future confusion. I blanked rather than deleted so the history would be there if needed. KillerChihuahua^?!? 14:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - Guy already tried, Raymond Arritt tried, others have tried, but she's still at it, and when she started complaining about the attention on her talk page - um, excuse me? She curses and fumes and creates divisive userboxes, creating more drama than I've seen since Kelly Martin's last Rfc, and then complains about the attention? Pardon me, but that's horse hockey. No one is that stupid, at least not anyone who can type. You don't roll out the red carpet for attention and then cry "woe is me, people won't leave me alone!"[29] unless you think your audience is extremely naive and stupid, and you can somehow frame things so that you're the injured party by such puerile means.

Vandalism

I am a bit confused by the message you left on my talk page. The IP's edit was vandalism, in that it was the deliberate introduction of false material. WP:VANDAL is explicit that warnings are not a necessary precondition for a block; in any case, the IP's talk page is full of warnings. In November, 64.58.187.23 was blocked for six months, and appears to have immediately resumed vandalism after the expiration of that block. If you feel that their behavior does not warrant a block, you may decline to issue one, but your ultimate judgment does not control the propriety of reporting sustained abuse to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. RJC ^{Talk Contribs} 21:58, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your support

I would like to thank the community for placing their trust in me during my recent request for adminship, which passed 72 13 2 . Rest assured, I have read each comment thoroughly and will be addressing the various concerns raised as I step cautiously into my new role as janitor. In particular, I would like to thank Balloonman for putting so much time into reviewing my contributions and writing such a thoughtful nomination statement after knowing me for only a brief period of time (and for convincing me that I was ready to take up the mop now, rather than go through admin coaching).

To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong).

To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)

We also must try to resolve the dispute and as a first step my suggestion is developing guidelines or procedures aimed improving behaviour from now on, so that the desired outcomes can be achieved amicably. Your assistance and comments will be much appreciated. . . dave souza, talk 14:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of William Norman Grigg

What the...?

Just a note - I really don't appreciate being told I have "the brains of a brickbat", or that I am dense, or brainwashed, or malicious. I don't think I know anyone who does. Kelly ^hi! 20:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

As I have done none of those things, I cannot imagine why you're telling me this. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:43, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Uh, OK. I guess you don't remember making those comments a few minutes ago. ~~Not just a river in Egypt, I guess.~~ Kelly ^hi! 20:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Linking to the same post a second time does not change its meaning. Did you read my reply to you on that page? Perhaps you should enroll in a reading comprehension class, as you seem to be confused (and conflating your confusion, which exists, with my denial, which does not exist.) Please let me know if you are still unclear on my meaning, and I will be happy to elucidate any portion which you find difficult to understand. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

KC: I've known you and respected you for a long time, you know that. But using phrasing like "Kelly, continuing to repeat that nonsense indicates to me that you have the brains of a brick-brat; or else you're congenitally dense; or else you've been brainwashed; or else you're happy maligning a group of people based on the actions of a few: which is it?" is just Not On. It reads exactly like a personal attack... regardless of any rhetorical escape clauses. Please don't repeat phrasing like that. Kelly, dial down a notch too "Not just a river in Egypt" is sarcasm. Stick to being unfailingly polite please. ++Lar: t/c 20:53, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I gave her multiple choice, including (which you did NOT copy) the option to offer an explanation of which I had not thought, in response to HER slanderous and egregarious personal attack. She has been screaming NPA ever since and not clarified her rationale, except to cite an Argumentum ad populum, which I find nauseating rather than exculpatory. As she has in fact engaged in personal attacks, and I merely am attempting to find out why, I would appreciate your either being more even-handed, or recusing yourself from chiding me, as you seem to be a bit confused and/or biased, Lar. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:59, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I didn't repeat all of the choices, no. Didn't need to. It reads like a PA even if you left an escape clause. If it reads like a PA, it's a PA. Just don't do it, please. You are way smarter and better than that old rhetorical trick. Make your point without it. I know you can. As for Kelly, I've chided Kelly before and will again. Did here, in fact. ++Lar: t/c 21:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
