User talk:Zoe/April 1 2006

Assume good faith

Zoe, you have recently posted some of the most offensive, abusive, comments that I have ever seen on Wikipedia. You have been so offensive in your comments to others that users have warned you that your comments are out of line and not in keeping with Wikipedia policy. Yet, in spite of other user's feedback, you persist in your degradation of other users and their edits. It is obvious that you are in need of a vacation. Please stop harassing and biting the new comers.

SNK

Holla, que tal? =D (I'm brazilian, and you're spanish must be much better than mine)

Wish to know I did you want to delete SNK Boss Syndrome article. I'm not involved in it, but i'm curious... I was about to jokingly show it to some friends...

If you could awser me, my mail is kaze12@gmail.com

Thanks for the attention anyway

hope to see you, Igor

Note: I love your name. Zoë, isn't it? ^^

Your vote on the RFR poll

Hi, Zoe, you voted oppose on the requests for rollback privileges consensus poll, suggesting that people who would like rollback should just become admins instead - that being an admin is "no big deal". While I think that in an "ideal" Wikipedia, this would indeed be the case, I believe that over time standards for becoming an administrator have clearly risen. This is apparent by looking at the RFA system throughout Wikipedia's existence - intially, all one had to do to become an admin was just ask nicely, now we have a complicated procedure. A recent proposal on the RFA talk page for requiring at least 30 minimum support votes and a significant number of existing contributions was given some serious consideration. There is frequent talk of "bad admins slipping through the RFA net", and while you may not agree with that philosophy of adminship it is undeniable that the standards have risen.

Because of this, candidates who pass are already very experienced with Wikipedia. While this in itself is no bad thing, it means that for the month or so before they become admins they are not being given the tools an admin has which would help them to improve Wikipedia, by removing vandalism and performing administrative tasks such as moving pages. The qualities which make a good administrator are not determined by length of stay on Wikipedia or number of friends you have, but by personality and character. Time at Wikipedia only gives familiarity with the way things are done here. However, being at Wikipedia for an extra month doesn't grant any special insight into the ability to determine which edits are vandalism and which are not. This is why I believe that we should hand out rollback to contributors who are clearly here to improve Wikipedia but won't pass the RFA procedure because of their percieved lack of familiarity with policy by some Wikipedians. I think that adminship should be no big deal, like you, however I see just two ways to make sure Wikipedians can quickly and efficiently remove vandalism - either by all those who believe adminship should be no big deal involving themselves much more in RFA, or by supporting this proposal and giving out rollback to good contributors who have not yet been here long enough to become admins. We have to remember that our ultimate aim here is to produce an encyclopedia, and we should balance the idealism of "adminship should be no big deal" with the pragmatism of granting rollback to our best non-admin contributors. I would be very grateful if you would reconsider your viewpoint on this issue. Thanks, Talrias (t | e | c) 13:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Move discussion at Lost

Hey, Zoe. I thought you might be interested to know that there's yet another Lost-related move discussion underway at Talk:Lost. This one is about whether Lost should be a disambiguation page (as it is currently) or a redirect to Lost (TV series), with the disambiguation content moved to Lost (disambiguation). Since you'd voted in earlier Lost-related move discussions, I thought you might be interested in this one. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Incivility concerns on wikien-l

Regarding [1] - this concerns me, as a listadmin, because wikien-l does in fact have a civility policy that is enforced. (We even had to go to moderating people's first posts to avoid the trolls. Complaints, even strident ones, are allowed (since wikien-l is the official place listed in block messages to complain), but going on about it isn't.) Do you have particular messages you consider make wikien-l "a viper's pit full of poison and bad faith" to such a degree that "most people would do well to avoid it in order to retain their sanity and their stomachs to continue on the project." We (the listadmins) very much look forward to details - David Gerard 11:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

If you can make it clearer what's what message and what's your commentary (if any), I'll list the link on wikien-l - David Gerard 17:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Joe-Max Moore

In view of the difficulty one generally has in monitoring responses to his/her queries at the reference desk, I thought I would leave a note to tell you that I responded to your question here; in short, I think our info is correct and that the putative Moore is wrong.

User talk:Reneec

Hi, Zoe. I don't want to override your revert here, but, er, why just one step? There are lots of recent warnings in the history that would be useful for admins to see. Bishonen | talk 23:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC).

Well, Reneec is editing it energetically as we speak, I guess I'll just leave it. Mine was a block warning, but removing it presumably means that s/he's seen it. The blankings are reported on ANI in any case, so never mind. Thanks and good night! --Bishonen | talk 00:09, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Please see my comments on the WP:PROD talk page. It actually was advertised in a number of very well known places. I look forward to your response. JesseW, the juggling janitor 00:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

It is odd that you did not see it until the beginning of the test period was announced, as it was mentioned on the Village pump (proposals) on 17:27, 27 January 2006, minutes after the page was first created. It stayed on the page until 00:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC), when it was automatically archvied by the archiving bot. I don't know why you didn't see it, but the history of the page confirms that it was there... JesseW, the juggling janitor 00:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Nonsense and vandalism

My apologies... The page stated "Predicted and Scheduled Events"... I was merely making predictions. Yeah, they were unrealistic, but they were intended to be humorous. April 1st being April Fool's Day... You get the idea. I don't see how my predictions and someone else's can be any different in terms of importance. I don't think anyone would take offense to the Supreme Court reference... Some might find it funny. What's wrong with humour on the wikipedia?

If you'd like to talk further with me on this issue, I'd be glad to. My email is c.steffen@yahoo.com.

I understand your point, but I don't see how my posts hurt anyone.

Email this user?

Where would this link be? I see none.

So, if I wrote <<JOKE beside the joke post, it wouldn't take away from the legitimacy of the rest of the encyclopedia, would it? People would understand (as they should already) that the april 1st joke was not serious. It's not deleting anyone else's modifications, it's not distorting anyone else's information, and by denoting it a <<JOKE people will understand not to take it seriously.

What of that?

Zoe

I appreciate your message. I would encourage you to research and find the latest happenings in Denton about the mayoral race. You may not be up to speed on everything since you possibly are no longer living in Denton. These are factual statements, history in the making, that can be verified via the local filing office. After you have completed the research on this matter, please rewrite the information that is factual, legitimate and varifiable. I understand your compulsion to keep me off the encyclopedia, some users are abusing it, however I was merely trying to add to it, showing the current state of Denton.

Mauritania / Current Events

"Nemo of honour for diggin out details and working hard in improbable situations." I read on your page. I hope this doesn't jeopardize further cooperation, but instead of blindly deleting news, wouldn't you take one second to follow the wikilink and get the source? It's the first time I've used this "current events" thing, and you should be aware that news are news only as long as they are posted at the right time! Thank you for - I hope - unvoluntary censorship. I assume however your good faith, but don't be so hard when you see someone has forgotten something. Don't you think oil is important? Don't you think it's important to know what the new Mauritanian government does? I remind you that the new regime, led by Vall, has overthrow in August 2005 a guy who was there for 21 years, and that Mauritania is one of the poorest country in the world. Cheers anyway! Tazmaniacs 08:55, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

...a little bit disappointed...

Hi Zoe. Say, I was a little bit sad that you suggested that I was in violation of proper conduct (WP:POINT at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Pedophilia) without mentioning it to me first. I try to follow the codes as well as I can, and although like all I do fail from time to time, in this case I think I might have been misunderstood. Well no big deal. Anyway, yes that project is definitely going down, I'm having a little trouble seeing the overall benefit right now, but I trust the community to know what it's doing better than I do. Herostratus 16:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem, apology completely accepted, toatlly understandable. Shouldn't have even mentioned it, I guess I was just caught up in the whole thing, My goodness what a great lot of confusion! The whole thing is pretty funny, actually. CU around. Herostratus 21:36, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Godawful Fan Fiction

Sorry, I was wondering if you could tell me why the article on Godawful Fan Fiction was deleted, and why it was previously AFD'd?

Oh, I see. I hadn't realised this had already come about. It's a great pity, since GAFF has a very long history within the fanfiction community, and spawned whole subsectors of it, but I understand that this has already been decided. Sincerely sorry for troubling you.

WHY YOU -

"Zoe", I have never added any false information to Charlie, and he did have other animated or cartoon television series in the past from 1974 until the early 1990s and I have already gave proof to the show, before. - But, why does it get deleted, many times?

What now? Toss out only one picture of himself outside. No, I will never ever do that. - ABC did NOT print those pictures.

However, I am leaving Wikipedia.

Oh, no, will the FBI be after me now? User:Zoe|^(talk) 16:20, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

NO NO NO you stupid cunt! You and David and Geni have nothing to worry about from the FBI. The FBI is a strictly domestic enforcement agency of the USA. It stays within the US boarders, and when it fails to keep its attendtion strictly within those US boarders, some FBI agent gets whacked really bad, so that they do not do that again.

Now that CIA, well, that is a another story. They have only a few convert agents in the U.K. Yes, they do sometimes assassinate people that they do not like. I wish that they would not do that, but they do follow the rules some of the time.

my bad —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ziploc (talk • contribs) .

Zoe:

At first, I thought that you had added this, then I saw that this new account had. I do not care. I am willing to imagine that you added this anyway. I know that you are smarter than my treatment of you might suggest, but there is a reason why I do not acknowledge your ability and accomplishment. It is because that would be too easy. If you would look at how I fought to give Susan back her name even though she dead, you would see that I am no misogynist. Do you see how I empathize with this woman who simply wanted to escape her stereotype? Do you see how helpless she was to escape that stereotype. Do you see how our own fellow Wikipedian's are part of the problem? OK, you are young, cute and smart. You do not have to put up with that shit. Wait until you get old, my dear.

Do you see how much I admire and adore Catharine MacKinnon? Do I call Andrea Dworkin a big fat dead Kite Dyke like others might? No. She might be obnoxious, but all I do is lovingly record indexes to her every word, as far as I can. Do you think I go and tear down my 12-year-old daughter's image of my ex-wife? Of course not! I want my only child to grow up to be a strong, successful woman like these women I adore.

Alright! Yes! I did take our Joan of Arc, rip off her helmet, grab her by the hair and throw her in the mud. She can afford it. It was just to show you all that I, sniveling knave with nothing more than my pole-arm could dismount that female knight and do with her as I will. With just my mind. If the opponent at the time was a male then let us just go for it and do the maximum damage. It is not a destructive process. It is about the WHOLE story. It is about Integrity. Brutal, unblnking honesty.

I want to write so much more about the feelings that I had when I thought that you had made this small concession. I am so hopeful for dialog with you guys, that I irrationally refuse to believe that "my bad", such a small concession, are not your heartful words. I am not looking to win. I am not looking to put you down. I really was considering comign to England, not to deal with you directly, but just go have a cup of coffee with your parents (and you know by now that I am crazy enough to do it, despite the moderate expense). I do not care that the words "my bad" are no your words. They are so sweet and lovely because they suggest that further dialog is possible that I will not let go of them. If you think that I am pathetic to live in such a dream world, then fuck you. I LIKE my little dream world where Zoe made a small and reasonable concession. I feel better than you can possibly imagine. If you still think that "Andrew loses", good for you (and keep such a thought to yourself).

Three weeks of admin tools

Today three weeks have passed since I was granted access to the administrator toolbox. During this time I have made use of it in the following way:

• Protections and unprotections: 1
• Blocks and unblocks: 4
• Deletions and restorations: 69
• Rollbacks: 246

I've found that the rollback tool is much more useful than I'd thought for vandalism patrol. In fact it makes that task so easy that I've been doing it more than before. On the other hand I've been surprised by how little the blocking tool is needed. Having done a significant amount of vandalism patrol I have still only blocked one solitary vandal. The great majority of addresses which send out a vandal edit do so only once. Those who do it more often usually stop after a warning or two. Only rarely is a block actually needed and in those cases someone usually beats me to it.

As a side note I haven't retired from writing articles either. I'm still hoping to bring Freyr up to featured status but even though I've already performed more edits on it than on Hrafnkels saga back in the day, a lot of work remains to be done. Community expectations for featured articles have gone up and so have my own ambitions. I'm currently waiting for a couple of books I ordered to arrive and then I may be able to make the final push.

I'm trying my best to live up to the trust you showed in me by supporting my RFA. If ever you feel uncertain whether I'm using the admin tools in the best interests of the project, let me know. I am at any time willing to relinquish the mop and reapply for it to address concerns people have and ensure that I'm not using the admin tools without being trusted to do so.

Before I leave Wikipedia

The PBS headquarters in Washington, perhaps was aware that something was going wrong with Wikipedia and their editors. Someone at WGBH stated is the show, Charlie the Red Dog or (Red Disco Dog) cannot be found on PBS nationally, nor their local station.

The Weather Channel also denies they air the show as well, I think there is nothing to worry about, but only 22 percent do not like the TWC, and ABC denied it.

I found later that ABC has dropped to #2, but PBS is now at #1, in the list of television networks.

But only one person admitted on the Weather Channel Classics forum: "Who cares if a couple overcame a tornado outbreak with their talking dog?"

my name is Uir, i also post as Opy67. I have been confused with Dante26, who uses the same computer as me.

Your personal attracks

Please don't make personal attacks. See Wikipedia:No personal attacks. here is a quote from the opening of it. Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks will never help you make a point; they hurt the Wikipedia community and deter users from helping create a good encyclopedia.. I would remind you admins are excpected to hold a higher standard than normal editors. The article later says Many Wikipedians remove personal attacks on third parties on sight, and although this isn't policy it's often seen as an appropriate reaction to extreme personal abuse. Users have been banned for repeatedly engaging in personal attacks. Abusive edit summaries are particularly ill-regarded Threatening to abuse your admin powers blocking me for removing your personal attack would be a sure way to end up on an Rfa for admin abuse. Threats are not helpful, neither are personal attacks. I shall be keeping an eye on your contribs as I feel it is admins like you are are destroying wikipeduia by making unnecessary and uncalled for personal attacks and makinbg the atmospghere so unpleasnat others don't want to edit, SqueakBox 13:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't wory I won't be doing it again, I made my point, and I hope you got it. You have the right to make comments in your own statement as critical as you like but snide comments on other users votes seems to me beyond the limits of normal civility in such a sensitive area as sonmeone in the Rfa process (a process which has seen many an editor leave wikipedia because of similar comments aimed at them).

Re: lyrics

Terribly sorry, I wasn't aware of that. I just noticed that lyrics were already included for In The Flesh?, The Thin Ice, The Happiest Days of Our Lives, Mother (song), Goodbye Blue Sky, Empty Spaces, Young Lust (song) and One of My Turns (ie. several other songs from the same album), without being deleted, and I therefore thought they were OK to include.

Deletion Review

Zoe - please see additional info on Wikipedia:Deletion review re deletion of my user page. You may wish to reconsider. Thanks J1838 20:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Palooka

When I placed a speedy delete tag on Palooka (disambiguation), the article linked to only one other existing article, and there was no indication that it would be useful. Now, however, it is appears to be more useful as a disambiguation page, as it links to several real articles. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 23:04, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Help me with an IP address editing question.

Zoe,

Please see User_talk:Nandesuka#Zoro.2FZolo. The underlying substantive issue is not that interesting, but an editor is making what I consider to be an extremely incorrect argument. In summary, "Reasonable, supported opinions submitted by users without a username don't matter." Since I know you went for a while editing as an anon, I know you care about this issue.

Copyright Violation

As long as information is cited and not exactly copied, it is not a direct copyright violation. Addressing people of copyright violation because they have copied and pasted is a litte brash has a great overall effect on the average expolorer. Although I know that contributers would not like to have their works stolen and that addressing the situation like this is an efficent method, it still implores on people who browse by copy and paste.

Your remark on on AN/I

You said on AN/I: "I don't understand why someone would assume that I'm RickK, but I can say categorically that I am not."

Now, to the right is the reason this rumor got started: You stopped editing pretty much exactly at the time RickK started, and when he left you came back almost immediately. Now, I'm not doing this to prove anything, and I am not implying that you are a sockpuppet (can't be in any case as there is no puppeteering). But it is a remarkable coincidence, you must admit. Of course, if you are RickK this isn't exactly news to you, but I have no reason than that peculiar pattern to assume you are, and in fact quite frankly don't care, since I never had the slightest to do with either of you. It just looked to me that you honestly want to know why people assume this, and that's the reason right there. -- grm_wnr Esc 17:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

RE:???

ok thank you but then how do i start my on article?

• grin*

No problem. It wasn't simply for tonight's antics. He is on probation yet has been posting abusive comments about another user he clashed with, and who is also on probation, calling him a "convicted liar" on various pages. (The other guy was criticised by the arbcom for his use of sources. Wilkes is misrepresenting that to claim the arbcom convicted him of lying.) It wasn't specifically the nonsense with me tonight. It is the idiot's behaviour all over WP. He is pissed off at me for blocking him for one week because he broke his probation three times. (BTW there is a widespread rumour that Wilkes is our old pal DW. The edits are the same: find one topic and flog it to death by writing every conceivable article about it. Wilkes's big issue is actors. Like DW sports (horse racing) seems a thing with him. If it is clearly established that he is DW he will be banned permanently instantly like all his other sockpuppets and trolls.)

I wasn't sure who was on at the time so I did the blocking as I have been dealing with the idiot's assing around for weeks. We have authorisation from the arbcom to extend his probation if necessary. I think that point has now arrived though if it turns out that he is DW his probation becomes irrelevant as Jimbo has already hardbanned him permanently time and time again under his various sockpuppets and trolls. He certainly bares striking resemblance to DW in his conduct: writing endlessly about one issue as if he got a book out from the library and is working his way through its index for articles, abuse, mispresentations, targeting of 'enemies' for personal attacks and abuse, etc. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 04:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

It should be added that Ted Wilkes seems to have created a lot of new sockpuppets. One of these is "Danny B. (usurped)" This user name he used for an alleged "third-party" statement during the time Ted Wilkes was blocked. See [3]. Significantly, Danny B. (usurped), as a relatively new user, has deleted exactly those passages from the Nick Adams article which support the view that Adams had homosexual leanings and, at the same time, reverted the Elvis and Me article to exactly the version preferred by Ted Wilkes who was blocked for one week. See [4] and [5]. Furthermore, both Danny B. (usurped) and Ted Wilkes contributed to the following Wikipedia articles: [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], etc. Their editing interests are very similar. Surely this cannot be just coincidence. I wonder how many other sockpuppets Wilkes may have created. Onefortyone 14:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Ted Wilkes and Jtdirl

To my mind, User:Ted Wilkes is frequently gaming the system. He did this several times in the past. Most people may remember his mud-throwing campaign against arbcom member Fred Bauder. There is much evidence that he is identical with multi-hardbanned User:DW. For a summary of facts supporting this view, see [15]. Wilkes was blocked for one week by administrator Jtdirl. His contribution to the Jim Duffy article seems to be his personal reaction. Onefortyone 04:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Some additional facts supporting the view that Ted Wilkes is identical with DW

Multiple hardbanned User:NightCrawler alias User:JillandJack alias User:DW is certainly identical with Ted Wilkes. Here is a debunking edit by NightCrawler:

PLEASE NOTE: I, NightCrawler, have never attacked anybody at Wikipedia, the record of contributions will show hard work creating quality non-copyright violated articles to the best of abilities and go about fixing numerous links, inserting full birth/death dates when only a year is listed and then posting that info to the “year” page. Nightcrawler never interferes in others work, ever. However, while NightCrawler never has and never will attack anybody, this User most certainly will respond forcefully to an attack on me through lies, innuendo or other conduct unacceptable to Wikipedia policy. Thank you for showing respect to ALL Wikipedia users.

See [16]. This is remarkably near to expressions frequently used by Ted Wilkes in defense of his own misbehavior:

1. Note that User:Ted Wilkes never inserted statements from less that unimpeachable sources that in fact contradicted these statements by the Crime Magazine personal website etc. Instead, I put them on the Talk page with detailed rebuttal that was ignored by Onefortyone. See [17].
2. I am the one who requested this page be protected. For the record, I NEVER removed any link to The Guardian, EVER. Before making such a statement, it is best to check the facts. See [18].
3. NOTE: "to engage in prostitution" is TENTH in Webster's order of definition but again, Guralnick never once used the word in that context – ever. See [19]

Furthermore, both JillandJack and Ted Wilkes contributed to the List of Canadian musicians and to the List of people who died in road accidents. See [20] and [21]. Both JillandJack and Ted Wilkes are interested in the history of motor racing. See [22], [23], [24], [25] and [26], etc.

In the past, DW, NightCrawler and JillandJack also contributed to the Bugatti article. See [27]. In addition, DW, NightCrawler, JillandJack and User:Karl Schalike contributed to the List of Quebecers. See [28]. Finally, both Karl Schalike and JillandJack contributed to the List of racing drivers. See [29].

I think, this is evidence enough that DW, NightCrawler, JillandJack (and probably Karl Schalike) are identical with Ted Wilkes.

The case of Karl Schalike is somewhat different and confusing though, as he made edits in support of the view that Adolf Hitler may have been homosexual. Ted Wilkes, on the other hand, is frequently deleting contributions which prove that some celebrity stars may have been gay. However, between 29 March 2005 and 2 February 2006, there were only three Wikipedia contributions by Karl Schalike, two of which were significantly made in defense of Ted Wilkes: [30] and [31]. Furthermore, this edit by Karl Schalike is certainly an allusion to, if not a parody of, my own contribution here. If Karl Schalike is indeed identical with Ted Wilkes, then it is quite obvious that this user endeavours to game the system by poking fun at serious topics.

In my opinion, it is high time to hardban Ted Wilkes alias DW for all of his system-disrupting activities. Onefortyone 21:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

You dismiss my perspective as "nonsense and bullshit" and a cursory browsing of your Talk page reveals this is a somewhat common response, on your part, to Disagreement--Violations of WP Tenants certainly as bad as those you cast at this newbie.

My initial comment that this is 'frivolous' was not meant to imply a bad faith MfD on your part (although I did consider it at first). Not the policy on userpages (nor much of anything on this site) is written in stone--I do not endorse your citation, nor do I agree with its application. I consider this a frivolous (and suprisingly devisive) issue.

Banned for one month?

Just a question. Administrator Stifle has banned me for one month (!) from Elvis Presley, Memphis Mafia, and Elvis and Me "for violation of probation by tendentiously adding links and poorly-referenced claims." See [32]. I do not think that this was necessary. I have only discussed some newly discovered sources with other users on the Talk:Elvis Presley page. See [33]. As for the other pages, I only reverted repeated edits by Ted Wilkes. Certainly this is part of a long edit war. His contribution to Elvis and Me includes false information. Original quotes from Priscilla Presley's book, Elvis and Me undoubtedly prove that the following paragraph Ted Wilkes has added to the Elvis and Me page is a fabrication:

She says Presley was a very passionate man, however, because of attitudes at the time, strongly reinforced by his Pentecostal upbringing, he told her that her virginity was a scared thing to him. Presley's generation still had a double standard that cheered men for their sexual prowess with women, but insisted a girl should remain a virgin until married and if she did not, she was labeled a slut.

The words "Pentecostal", "virginity" and "slut" (included by Ted Wilkes) nowhere appear in Priscilla's book, as an Amazon search shows. See [34], [35] and [36]. I corrected the text but Wilkes repeatedly reverted my version to the fabricated one he has written. See [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], etc. For direct quotes from the book, see [43]. On the Memphis Mafia page, Wilkes is frequently deleting two external links to sites related to the Memphis Mafia arguing that these websites are "improper" and personal websites. See [44], [45], [46] etc. etc. It seems as if Wilkes does not like the content of these pages. Significantly, the two external links to websites he had inserted are also links to personal websites. Isn't this double standard? See also this comment by administrator Tony Sidaway [47] and Talk:Memphis Mafia. So I don't understand why an administrator has now blocked me for one month from these articles, especially since my opponent in the edit war is also on probation for his contributions (and for harassing me) (see [48]) and there is much evidence that he is identical with multiple hardbanned User:DW alias User:JillandJack, etc., who was constantly gaming the system in the past. See [49]. I am not sure whether User:Count Chocula, who claimed that I violated my probation, is somehow related to Ted Wilkes. Their editing interests are very similar.

Sockpuppets violated Ted Wilkes's probation

User:Ted Wilkes has again violated his probation. Although he is "banned from making any edit related to a person's alleged homosexuality or bisexuality" (see [50]), he edited the Boze Hadleigh article heavily dealing with the homosexuality or bisexuality of celebrity stars, thereby denigrating the author and reverting the edits of another user. See [51]. Based on recent checkuser evidence, Ted Wilkes, Danny B. (usurped) and Karl Schalike appear to be the same. See [52]. As both Danny B. (usurped) and Karl Schalike have contributed to articles related to the alleged homosexuality or bisexuality of famous personalities (see [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62], etc. etc.) thereby violating the probation of Ted Wilkes (see [63]) more than five times, Ted Wilkes, who has wasted the time of many users, administrators and arbcom members, should now be blocked for one year or hardbanned indefinitely, especially in view of the fact that he also seems to be identical with multiple hardbanned User:DW alias User:JillandJack. See [64]. The arbcom ruling says, "Should Ted Wilkes ... edit any article from which (he is) banned (he) may be blocked for a short period, up to a week in the case of repeat offenses. After 5 blocks the maximum block shall increase to one year." See [65]. On 28 February 2006, administrator Jtdirl admonished Ted Wilkes not to breach arbcom rulings again: "You have now made 3 breaches of the arbcom ruling, the two that caused this weeklong ban and the one that caused the earlier ban. If you make 2 more at any stage before the expiry of the arbcom ruling, or its amendment, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia for one YEAR. " See [66]. Onefortyone 16:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

AfD question

In my few months at Wikipedia, there are several admins whom I've found to be both excellent editors and excellent admins, and you are surely on that list; I've often been impressed with the level-headedness and intellectual dexterity you have demonstrated passim. Thinking you to be a sound, neutral party, then, I wonder if you might offer me a bit of advice. A few hours ago I tagged for speedy this article, recognizing the religious significance but thinking it nevertheless to be a story unfit for the encyclopedia (as, for example, would be most Bible stories were they recounted in that fashion). The creator of the page was altogether unhappy with the tagging, and, after reviewing his objections, I decided AfD would be more appropriate. After four of us voted "delete", the article's writer chastised us for having insufficiently researched the topic and having been too quick to "delete"; even as I think I had more knowledge of the topic that he would seem to suggest, and even as the animus he ascribes to me toward minority religions is non-existent (after all, here I'm NPOV but in my capacity as a person I'm an atheist), I wonder if you might look at the article and leave me a message on my talk page as to whether you think I was wholly out of line to have tagged for speedy and then AfD. I am concerned that I've offended an editor who appears to be making great contributions to many of the Sikh articles, about which I am neither wholly without knowledge nor very knowledgable, by suggesting that an ostensibly important religious story was fiction or non-notable; I perhaps should have tagged the page instead for cleanup, Wikification, and sourcing. If you should happen to have time to drop me a line, I'd be much appreciative. Cordially, Joe 06:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I got a good deal of feedback from others, and everything worked out fine. No need to drop a line. Thanks, Joe 04:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate the changes and i apologize if i was not following any type of rules that i was not aware of. i will be sure to do so in the future. the term "life-changing" is not to be seen as an opinion, it is the genre of reality television in the vein of shows like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I was just placing it in front of reality television because it is the subset within the reality television genre. if it is looked as a 'point-of-view' then fine leave it out. But I am unaware of such a thing.

ok thanks, I was just joking there is no evidence yet.

why cant i call them terrorists? because they are american ?

why cant i call them terrorists? because they are american? Check out the article on moussaoui , he's called French terrorist. What he hes. he hasnt been judged yet. Those american terrorists either but they are terrorist.

You have deleted the words American terrorist and put instead american citizen.

"since we should allow the people who blew up the World Trade Center to be called terrorists, but that's not allowed, so why should American terrorists be the only people in the world who we can call terrorists?" why do you say that its not allowed to call them terrorist? all the media do it, and in fact they are not only called but treated as terrorist in Guantanamo. americans are not the only we can call terrorist, in fact its not easy to do it, the prove is in this page. lol

why do you say that? Its not allowed to call them terrorist? all the media do it, and in fact they are not only called, but treated as terrorist in Guantanamo they havent been judged yet. Americans are not the only we can call terrorist! In fact its not easy to do it, the prove is in this page. lol

Whiner Line

I thought we had gotten through this, but for some reason your vendetta against the whiner line page has come back to life after you deleted it again after nearly 3 months of useful and inciteful edits by a handful of users. Go try to delete other pages, but stay away from mine, they are all staying. Peace biiiatches. Zzz345zzz 10:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

It says that you were supposed to notify both the creator of the page, as well as post a notification on the page itself that it has been marked for deletion. If you try to delete pages atleast don't be secretive about it, I along with the other editors of the page would have liked to have known and thrown our two cents in as well. Since we were not given this oppertunity, I refuse to acknowledge any "vote" that took place and will not allow the page to be deleted. If you would like to remark it and go through the proper channels, go ahead. Zzz345zzz 06:12, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Apparently the User named Zoe deleted a page I created two days. It is in my deletion log:

04:15, 25 March 2006 Zoe deleted "Greg Gerke" (content was: 'Greg Gerke (born 1974 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American author of novels and other prose. He has published one book, Fiction for a Sound Bitt...' (and the only contributor was 'GreggNY'))

Is this because I am the only contributer? Just wondering. I don't know if there are watchdogs editing down Wikipedia, which is understandable.

Thank you,

Why have you deleted the word terrorist and the CIA mention in my article about The terrorist Triston Jay Amero and his accomplice Alda ribeiro? You said it was ok to call them Terrorists.

You have deleted the expression "american terrorist" after the name of the criminal which are very important in the text, and you have put instead "american citizen". Why are you trying to censure this expression? are you American or what is the reason for this bias? W As I told you already the article on moussaoui contains the expression french terrorist and I think its very important from a sociological point of view to clearly say from where are these criminals.

Jonathan Daniels

I was wondering when you were going to whitewash the Jonathan Daniels article. You probably don't even know the whole story behind his murder by a white supremacist. But that's ok. You keep sticking to that NPOV...

SmackBot

Hi, Zoe. I'm very much aware of the sad situation surrounding rapid delinking dates, and I'm not doing that. I'm delinking months of the year and days of the week. I don't think anyone objects to that. If you do please let me know and I won't let SmackBot unlink any more until consensus is established. Rich Farmbrough 23:23 27 March 2006 (UTC).

I have some sympathy with your position! The alphabetic thing is interesting, the databae is strutured with a big "blob" of articles in approximately alphabetical order at the beginning, I assume these were copied over from a previous software version a few years back. They also tend to be the big articles and the important ones, being old, and not be a good place to start a run. However AWB does offer a facility to sort an article list, which means you get a better distribution. It also means you can more easily cut out chunks of alphabetically related articles you don't want to edit. One of these efects was probably what you saw. With the census articles, I have generally started with the places with the smallest populations first, again any problems and it's not New York or Los Angeles broken, secondly, these articles are far more complex (having lots of zeros, and hand edited bits) so provide a better test bed.

You were right!

Hi, Zoe. Concerning this comment, it looks as if you were right. I can't give you a first prize for guessing, though, because I guessed as well! Cheers. AnnH ♫ 22:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh site

I removed any pasted material from the Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh wikisite. It is now entirely in my own words. Sorry about that.

Unenrolled

Just letting you know that Political commentary and Party government have been created, nearly identically, by the same editor, and added to the AfD nom. Daniel Case 03:34, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

The Old Man's Wikipedia entry.

Hi Zoe, Sorry for deleting the deletion message! I'm new to Wiki, but love it. Trying to add my first entry and get involved. I thought the fact that our local pub was the first to sell Stella in London was quite cool. I am trying to find out more about the history at the moment and would like a chance to update the info.

Kind regards, Stuart.

Great Work

I present this Geiger counter to Zoe, for having one of the most finely calibrated bullshit detectors on Wikipedia.

Just a quick note of congratulations for your outstanding research regarding the undeletion debate of the John Fullerton article. All editors should take this as an example: we need to accept verifiability as the central pillar on which Wikipedia stands, not just as a kinda-sorta good idea sometimes. My sincere congratulations. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:19, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I always thought you were good stuff: a fine editor with a clear and correct vision of what the real purpose of being here was. Now add 12% extra goodness. And that you combined it with a pointed kick is what really makes me like you. - brenneman^{L} 00:31, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Why are you so mean?

1. You took down my tripod link, you disturbed my Munhunt Costa Rica and Gabriel Garro enteries and now your asking me to write the Miss Chinese International article in some format! What's wrong with you? Your like a bee. Have to check every article I created and ruin it. I'm taking down that template thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam72991 (talk • contribs)

In view of Sam's having contributed some relevant info to the Miss Chinese International article, I explained to him/her on the article's talk page that the "wikify" tag in no way reflects a judgment apropos of the notability of the subject of an article or the quality of the article and, in welcoming him on his talk page, directed him to the article's talk. I see now, though, having reviewed his edits and the history of his talk page that he previously has vandalized pages (e.g., by removing AfD notices), so perhaps he isn't truly interested in why the article needs wikification and how he can improve it (one assumes good faith, but that faith is sometimes tested). In any case, I re-added the "wikify" tag (although he again removed it) and will try to wikify the article myself sometime soon. Joe 03:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I tried to clean up and wikify the article (a bit difficult inasmuch as the sources aren't great and as I know absolutely nothing about the subject); I hope others who know more about the subject (e.g., Sam) will partake as well. Joe 20:10, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Gnome (Bot) behavior

Zoe:

I am the author of the behavior list for User:Gnome (Bot) (as opposed to User:Eagle 101, who is the author of the code). I understand that, while I was on vacation, the test for Gnomebot was interrupted twice due to a disagreement over the {{cleanup}} --> {{stub}} feature. I would like to clarify the reasons for the bot shutdown.

Is your reason for the shutdown that:

1. the behavior in question should not exist?
   1. that no cleanup articles should be moved to stub?
   2. that cleanup stubs should be double-labeled?
2. that the bot was 'amok' and sorting cleanup articles incorrectly?
   1. that the criteria for selecting 'stubs' was poorly chosen?
   2. that the criteria were correct, but the bot was not properly applying them?

My partner is currently on wikibreak due to the Gnomebot controversy, so please reply to my talk page. I hope that we can assume good faith and restart this vitally needed bot post haste with a minimum of fuss.

Please note that the {{cleanup}} --> {{stub}} feature is only one of a number of behaviors executed by Gnomebot, whose general role is as the janitor bot for Cleanup. These behaviors were passed off by the commentors on both the bot and cleanup pages; if more general objections to the behavior list exist, perhaps an RfC would be in order.

Can you restore it, it's in my userspace and it's a improper speedy. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 04:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, and if you can you could move all the April Fools AFD nonsense to my userspace if it's allowed, I'm using it for WP:BJAODN perposes only when it's done. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 04:09, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

fac tags added by 70.177.170.196

Hi Zoe, I noticed that you reverted the {{fac}} tags on Talk:The Adventures of Pete & Pete and Talk:American Pie (song). However, both do have entries on WP:FAC now (the former has been going for about a week, but the latter does not have any comments... yet). I noticed that User:Ahummer was the one who posted both of those FAC nominations, and each shortly after the anonymous user added the respective {{fac}}. Ahummer's only 4 contributions have been to create those nominations and to list them on WP:FAC. — TKD::Talk 05:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Please explain your comment to me.

I dont understand your comment dont leave editorial message... thanks H0riz0n 05:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
