== Shared IP notice ==

Hi. May I ask why you removed the notice on 70.109.223.188 ? -- [[User:Avraham|Avi]] ([[User talk:Avraham|talk]]) 18:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

::Well, with all the evidence presented against you, including the IP being traced back to your hometown, you obviously made a mistake by refusing to tell the truth at first, although you never lied as far as I can see.  But that seems to be the only ''real'' controversy you've been involved in.  The canvassing allegations are a real cheap shot, and since all of the editors you notified had edited that page before, that makes what you did a [[Wikipedia:Canvassing|limited and neutral notification]].  Reading all this actually '''does not''' hurt my reputation of you at all, and I'm glad you chose to stay on Wikipedia.  I would still be '''''very''''' happy to nominate you at RfA; although before your RfA you might want to issue a public statement regarding the vandalism you allegedly made, and describing why the actions you made to notify those editors a while back was not canvassing.

== Camera ==

Well it all depends on how much you are willing to spend (obviously!). Are you thinking of getting a DSLR or just a point and shoot? --[[User:Fir0002|Fir0002]] 01:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

:I'm considering both options.  I want a good camera, for a (obviously) reasonable price.  - [[User:Diligent Terrier|Diligent]][[User:Diligent Terrier|<span style="color:orange">'''Terrier'''</span>]] <small>[[User:Diligent Terrier/Autographs|(and friends)]]</small> 01:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

::I see, well I recommend Canon Cameras so if you're after a P&S I'd say the Canon G9 for quality or if you're after a bit more versatility then get the S5 IS. DSLR wise the 450D is a really nice starter body, or if you have a little more to spend get the 40D. Either way if you get a DSLR buy a body only and get a lens separately - kit lenses are useless and will make you disappointed in your DSLR. A good (cheap) starter lens - the lens I started with - is the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. Hope that helps a bit and good luck! --[[User:Fir0002|Fir0002]] 05:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

WBOSITG already has a co-nomination offer from Wizardman.  People oppose on really ridiculous things such as the number of nominations, and I don't want this to get out of hand.  Would it be ok if you held off and simply "strong supported"?  More than two nominations can get kind of bad, but I, along with WBOSITG, appreciate your offer.  :)  <span style="font-family:georgia;">'''[[User:Malinaccier|Malinaccier]] ([[User talk:Malinaccier|talk]])'''</span> 21:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

== your adoption of Florention Floro ==

Hi Diligent, I see you have adopted [[User:Florentino floro]]. I would like to call your attention to a place where I think he could use some guidance. I have tried, in the past, to help teach him better techniques, but I have found him quite stubborn and unwilling to learn. It may well be my approach, so maybe you will have better luck. Basically, he adds news items to wikipedia without much regard for the sense of the article. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Missouri_Botanical_Garden&diff=prev&oldid=210268490] for a recent example. A botanist affiliated with the Missouri Botanical Garden discovered a new species of plant. Wonderful, but it doesn't tell the reader anything about the Botanical Garden. You will see that his edit history is full of this kind of edit, often the same story in multiple pages, as well as adding news items under "External Links" (like [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Calumpit%2C_Bulacan&diff=prev&oldid=210283938]), where, it seems to me, they don't really belong. If you could help him in these areas, I would be very appreciative. thanks. [[User:Maxschmelling|maxsch]] ([[User talk:Maxschmelling|talk]]) 17:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::Hi, Diligent Terrier, by way of rejoinder, and to air my side, I respectfully aver, that - I had discussed, reasoned and debated professionally with submitted evidence and wisdom, on the multiple and continuous deleting of my edits by [[User:Maxschmelling|maxsch]]. First, a cursory perusal of his contributions[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Maxschmelling&month=&year=], from 00:45, 29 January 2008, until today, essentially reveals and indubitably shows that this editor singles my edits, and he rarely contributes to Wikipedia, except to delete my edits (unlike me, who as of today, has '''3,468''' edits). Second, he miserably failed to read and synthesize the intent and spirit or policies of Wikipedia rules; his statutory construction or selective citation of Wiki rules, pervert or prostitute the reliability of Wikipedia. Third, my 3,468 edits and contributions to Wikipedia, had rarely been deleted, much less reverted by any foreign editor. Fourth, in legal parlance (I am a lawyer / judge), this editor's actuations are defined as "badges of fraud", meaning therefore, bad faith, vengeance, vendetta and towards [[vandalism]], so to speak. I spent long hours, to make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia, and I want to leave footprints here for future generations. This user definitely failed to comprehend the grey area and FINER POINTS of news and encyclopedia. He treats all my edits or almost all of them as news, tabloid, and not pertaining links. Premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed, that as administrator, this editor [[User:Maxschmelling|maxsch]] be reprimanded, or his account blocked, or suspended until further notice from you. At the very least, I petition, that he should allow or give chance to other editors and administrators or the CREATORS of the articles who watch those articles, to be the one to revert or delete my edits. This is a requirement of respect, integrity, neutrality and fairness in Wikipedia, among co-equal editors. Sincerely --[[User:Florentino floro|Florentino floro]] ([[User talk:Florentino floro|talk]]) 08:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Further, may I respectfully submit an '''evidence''' of his [[vandalism]] or bad faith editing: 17:18, 29 April 2008 Maxschmelling (Talk | contribs) (54,643 bytes) (Undid revision 208986282 by Florentino floro (talk)removed non-notable new budget legislation) (undo) - in [[University of the Philippines]]; this editor deleted my edit on the landmark, since 1901, [[Philippine]] legislation of new UP charter this 2008. He said that it was a budget statute. He misled Wikipedia, since it is not. So, I added it to the upper portion, since he said, it was not proper to insert it in the "centenial" sub-section; but such new law is about UP's 100th anniversary this year. Since 1901, UP's charter was never repealed or revised, until just this year. So I added: "President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on April 29, 2008 signed into law the University of the Philippines (UP) Charter of 2008, Republic Act 9500, which repealed or totally revised the original 1908 Charter, and declared, inter alia, UP as a National University.[18]"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_the_Philippines#History]. And about 90% of my good edits, like yesterday, were deleted by this editor. So, I cry foul and INJUSTICE. Please do use your admin button to put off his account. This submitted evidence is of the highest character to prove that this user violated the MAIN Wiki rules.

I'm reviewing all of these to get the whole story, and I will comment as soon as possible.  - [[User:Diligent Terrier|Diligent]][[User:Diligent Terrier|<span style="color:orange">'''Terrier'''</span>]] <small>[[User:Diligent Terrier/Autographs|(and friends)]]</small> 17:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
: I would like to point out that Floro has had a notoriously high noise-to-signal ratio. Not only does he add irrelevant news links as he's relegated himself to lately, but he also justified many of his older edits by claiming, on multiple occasions, that '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Miriam_Defensor_Santiago&diff=205984475&oldid=205826581 not only can he predict the future but also cause it by casting curses]'''. I'm not normally one to judge an editor based on their character, but I think it's relevant to point out that Floro not only has a [[Florentino Floro|documented psychosis]] but also a history of doing exactly what he's been doing even to the [http://www.supremecourt.gov.ph/jurisprudence/2006/august2006/A.M.%20No.%20RTJ-99-1460.htm Supreme Court of the Philippines]. Just doing a search for his name yields a hundred forums which he has joined solely to talk about his supernatural powers and defend his reputation from the people making fun of him on the internet, and checking his history here on Wikipedia shows that he believes the entire Filipino Wikipedia community to be involved in a grand conspiracy against him. I think maxsch is completely justified in keeping a watchful eye on Floro 's edits, and quite frankly, I think more people should be keeping an eye on Floro. --[[User:Cma|Migs]] ([[User talk:Cma|talk]]) 07:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:: Dear Diligent Terrier. With all due respect, I thought that when my 2 articles were deleted on AFD, and when I was outvoted by Filipino editors, all these debates would end. Contrary to the above-unsupported claims of [[User:Cma|Migs]], it was my previous adopter, [[User:Ianlopez1115]] who resigned, who emailed me about the palpable [[conspiracy]] of Filipino editors to muscle me. I disregarded his e-mail, since I believe, as [[lawyer]]/[[judge]], and Wikipedian editor, that all of us editors are co-equal and below administrators. '''Grounds:''' First, it is most unfair for [[User:Cma|Migs]] to accuse me, by personal attack of unsupported [[Florentino Floro|documented psychosis]], or mental illness, since the 75 pages decision, when read in full, reasoned that I could not continue as judge due to [[dwarf]] consultation, nothing more, nothing less, and I submit and quote the "ratio decidendi" as proof:[http://www.supremecourt.gov.ph/jurisprudence/2006/mar2006/A.M.%20No.%20RTJ-99-1460.htm]"''There is no indication that Judge Floro is anything but an honorable man.  And, in fact, in our disposition of the 13 charges against him, we have not found him guilty of gross misconduct or acts or corruption. Judge Floro himself admitted that he believes in “psychic visions,” of foreseeing the future because of his power in “psychic phenomenon.”  He believes in “duwendes” and of a covenant with his “dwarf friends Luis, Armand and Angel.”  He believes that he can write while on trance and that he had been seen by several people to have been in two places at the same time.  He has likened himself to the “angel of death” who can inflict pains on people, especially upon those he perceived as corrupt officials of the RTCs of Malabon.  He took to wearing blue robes during court sessions, switching only to black on Fridays.  His own witness testified that Judge Floro explained that he wore black from head to foot on Fridays to recharge his psychic powers. Finally, Judge Floro conducted healing sessions in his chambers during his break time.  All these things validate the findings of the Supreme Court Clinic about Judge Floro’s uncommon beliefs and that such beliefs have spilled over to action. Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such belief system.  However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are so at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system. Judge Floro’s separation from the service does not carry with it forfeiture of all or part of his accrued benefits nor disqualification from appointment to any other public office including government-owned or controlled corporations. As Judge Floro’s separation from the service cannot be considered a penalty, such separation does not carry with it the forfeiture of all or part of his accrued benefits nor disqualification from appointment to any other public office including government-owned or controlled corporations. In fact, the psychological and psychiatric reports, cannot be used to disqualify him from re-entering government service for positions that do not require him to dispense justice.  The reports contain statements/findings in Judge Floro’s favor that the Court cannot overlook in all fairness as they deserve equal consideration.  They mention Judge Floro’s assets and strengths and capacity for functionality, with minor modification of work environment.  Thus: a. High intellectual assets as a result of “self-discipline and self- organization.” b. “(I)mpressive academic achievements” with “no drastic change in his personality and level of functioning as a lawyer in private practice.” c. “(C)haracter traits of suspiciousness, seclusiveness, pre-occupation with paranormal and psychic phenomena … not detrimental to his role as a lawyer.” d. “Everyday situations can be comprehended and dealt with in moderate proficiency …. His concern for the details that make up a total field represents his attempts at being systematic and cautious.” e. “(E)quipped with analytical power.” Consequently, while Judge Floro may be dysfunctional as a judge because of the sensitive nature of said position, he may still be successful in other areas of endeavor. Consequently, while Judge Floro may be dysfunctional as a judge because of the sensitive nature of said position, he may still be successful in other areas of endeavor.''" Second, it is most unprofessional and violation of the world's democratic Constitutions, for [[User:Cma|Migs]] to attack my religious beliefs, credo's, psychic or spiritual aspirations and battles for [[truth]] and justice. What is the dire materiality to the issue at bar, of Mig's citing 100 forums where I joined to chat and make friends by sharing my pains, life, spirit guides and quest for justice. I hereby submit evidence, that his accusations do not have any legal basis: I made the legendary 28 pages record in Rush Forum, unduplicated since 1996, with more than 53,013 views and 1,355 replies until today[http://www.rushmessageboard.com/cpmb/index.php?showtopic=2112&st=1300&start=1300]. If no one here in Wikipedia ever did that record, then, this is the best evidence, that: I am one of the best  and honest contributor here in Wikipedia, despite my lack of PC learning. Reason and common sense dictates that if I am suffering from [[psychosis]] as Migs accused me of, who would read my threads in Rush? While I have no hard evidence that [[User:Maxschmelling|maxsch]] is a [[sockpuppet]] or [[dummy]] of all those Filipino editors which voted in the deletion of my 2 articles in AFD, suffice it to say that by virtue of a) [[Res Ipsa Loquitur]], and the evidence of [[User:Ianlopez1115]], adopter's statement against "the" Filipino editors, this user does nothing except to concentrate daily on my edits. Is there any better evidence to prove my finding of dummy? Third, Migs accuses me of "Floro has had a notoriously high noise-to-signal ratio." This is without any ground and is utter lack of merit. Migs knows me and I do not know him. He could not even submit any hard evidence here, that I discussed without any reason and outside the bounds of Wiki rules. Migs desire that I should bow down in discussions to hypocrisy, lies, and injustice, burying the truth, so to speak. On the other hand, as I said, my very own previous adopter e-mailed me with the expose of all these, and I disregarded or ignored all these Filipino editors who were out to muscle me, since there is a proper forum here, to ban or block me. I believe Wikipedia editors are fair and are themselves governed by rules. I reported this conspiracy by Migs and others to muscle me to [[User:FisherQueen]], the very first administrator who was kind enough to re-create my [[Florentino Floro]]. As administrator, please do examine my submitted evidence, and let them all submit counter-evidence, point by point, and edit by edit, so that per Wiki due process of law, I will be able to reply, submit a re-joinder, and respond, rather than be unilaterlly accused by most of them of causing their pains, as my own lawyer [[Rene Saguisag]] did suffer. I repeat, it is my faith that it is God that punishes evil, and man suffers death because of sin, and sin come from law, the law of lies, hypocrisy and rage. This is what all of these/their accusations are all about. It is direly easy to bend and cite Wiki rules to muscle an editor. But truth must prevail. In the end ... Sincerely --[[User:Florentino floro|Florentino floro]] ([[User talk:Florentino floro|talk]]) 08:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
::: I think Floro's reply speaks for itself regarding my points, but if you need more, [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Tambayan_Philippines&diff=193982837&oldid=193916203 here] is an example of him defending an anti-government article he wrote, claiming that this new article foreshadows the last days of our current president. Search for "Nostradamus" and you'll notice him defending his choices by claiming to have prophetic powers. I am not attacking his beliefs, but he's been using them as the basis for many of his contributions. --[[User:Cma|Migs]] ([[User talk:Cma|talk]]) 10:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Lest I be misconstrued, (by way of rebuttal of [[User:Cma|Migs]]'s stance that I am anti-government), let me state that I am apolitical. I never voted since 1970, more or less. I do not believe in politics. I am not anti-[[Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo]]. For even if I saw the vision on January 9, 1999, 6:00 of a) global millennium quakes, disasters until 2010, b) several apparitions of [[Mary]] and c) the physical hurting of VP GMA, no time frame, I predicted the enthronement of GMA on 2004, and I was a great critic of Jun Lozada. I only write what I see. I hated most, as my spiritual belief, the unseating of PGMA, because of greed, lust for power, etc. by same old politicians. I am not against the present Government but I saw the deaths and illnesses of several incumbent and past magistrates, officers, inter alia, due to God's dire punishment. I am a closed Catholic. Yes, I fought hardly against [[Nene Pimentel]] (predicted his pinched nerves surgery) and [[Koko Pimentel]]'s loss, via [[Psalm 109]]. Further, today I contributed 3,653 edits[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Florentino_floro] to Wikipedia, and I never used my Gifts of healing and prophecy, bi-location, exorcism, mystical levitation, annihilation, inflicting illnesses, etc., for spiritual cleansing, but not to edit in Wikipedia. This is the first in Wikipedia history that a jobless poor Filipino dwarf judge editor had been accused of "using them as the basis for many of his contributions". I have no prophetic powers but only Gifts. Powers are limited and are developed, while my Gift of the Holy Spirit are infinite, have no bounds, and were/are bestowed upon me versus evil and hypocrisy. I wield these gifts with benevolence and compassion. Take the case of my very own lawyer [[Rene Saguisag]]. I did not create that article, but every midnights since I begged him for mercy at [[Malate]] Mil Nueve Cientos 2004, I never missed a midnight where I did not recite [[Psalm 109]], for Rene and his family's repentance. I got it on November 8, 2008, after long long hard midnight works. Parenthetically, I prayed not only Fridays but daily for [[Juan Miguel Zubiri]], since I was humiliated by [[Nene Pimentel]], set up and made a beggar, when I asked for job help. I never called Mig's office nor asked for help even I could not find a job until now. It is unjust and unfair if I would be charged with using my Gifts in Wikipedia. I wield these, via [[Psalm 109]] to fight evil, to annihilate those who vilify me. Such is pure self-defense by annihilation up to the 4th generation. Take for example that even if I was hated by many Filipino editors who voted in AFD my 2 articles and some of them are in Vibal and Filnet, I gracefully created [[Gaspar Vibal]] and [[WikiPilipinas]], even if I had previously seen the vision of horrible [[tragedies]] in Vibal, to come. There is No Exit for Vibal, borrowing [[Jean Paul Sartre]]'s book. --[[User:Florentino floro|Florentino floro]] ([[User talk:Florentino floro|talk]]) 08:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

== Petition to Ban/Block [[User:Maxschmelling]] or to Disable his edits on my edits ==
:I am [[Florentino Floro]] / [[User:Florentino floro]]. In my 8 long years fight for truth and justice, I respectfully come to your good office, as adopter and administrator, and aver, that:
::'''1.''' [[User:Maxschmelling]] began to contribute to Wikipedia on: 04:11, 7 July 2007[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&limit=500&target=Maxschmelling&month=&year=]. With very few contributions, this user first edited my edits on 04:56, 27 September 2007 User talk:Florentino floro‎; He barely edited my additions, except 2 or 3 articles – [[Mt Pangasugan‎]] and the latest on October 10, 2007 – [[WPA World Nine-ball Championship]].
::'''2'''. Starting from 20:38, 31 January 2008 User talk:Florentino floro‎ (→insertion of news items into encyclopedia pages), this user began to edit, amend, delete and heavily concentrate on my edits. Surprisingly, he does nothing here in Wikipedia but to microscopically dissect my edits, inspect Wiki rules and bend them to suit his tastes of deletion. Badges of fraud, bitterness, vengeance, vendetta, rage, anger, and hypocrisy, inter alia, did color his edits of my edits. Unmindful of the spirit, letter and intent or liberal policy of Wiki rules, he principally uses alibi if NEWS vs encyclopedia, as sole reason why my edits must be deleted. But his hidden agenda was not yet revealed at that time, until he was caught in flagrante delicto on UP article.
::'''3'''. I was therefore adopted by a Filipino editor  [[User:Ianlopez1115]] (upon suggestion by editor, but when I agreed, I imposed the condition that only foreign users will adopt me for neutrality and objectivity, since I made tons of  Filipino editors who voted to delete my 2 articles in AFD. So I was adopted  05:59, 3 March 2008 by User talk:Ianlopez1115/Florentino floro ; 20:44, 8 March 2008 (hist) (diff) User talk:Ianlopez1115‎ (about your adoption).
::'''4'''. Starting from 17:43, 16 March 2008 User talk:Ianlopez1115/Florentino floro‎ (→inappropriate news items),  this editor began to do nothing in Wikipedia but to daily and timely inspect my edits. Here is the best example of how this user in bad faith fought to delete my landmark drug edit, and he was rebuffed by many foreign editors:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:San_Diego_State_University#Drug_ring_on_campus.2C_arrest_and_jail] The best evidence of  flagrant violation of Wiki rules on editing is utter vandalism when this user deleted my landmark edit of first charter of UP since 1901: 17:18, 29 April 2008 Maxschmelling (Talk | contribs) (54,643 bytes) (Undid revision 208986282 by Florentino floro (talk)removed non-notable new budget legislation) (undo); So, I had to cure his deletion / vandalism here:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_the_Philippines#History]  It still remains today: President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on April 29, 2008 signed into law the University of the Philippines (UP) Charter of 2008, Republic Act 9500, which repealed or totally revised the original 1908 Charter, and declared, inter alia, UP as a National University.

Since, I am under your parental authority and tutorship, it is plain and palpable contempt or insult to YOUR integrity, capability and professionalism, when this user miserably failed to stop editing and continued to refuse to stop editing my edits. It is sheer lack of respect to an adopter, administrator, and to a co-equal editor, myself, who took pains to have edited as of today, 3,595 edits, in good faith. While, I admit that I am not perfect, and since I had no training in computer or internet unlike today’s Filipino grade and high school students (for I just learned to touch internet when I was Googled world famous or infamous[http://www.google.com.ph/search?hl=tl&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=SW2&q=judge+floro&btnG=Maghanap&meta=] due to the [[dwarves]] on April 6, 2006 or just 2 years), still, with my experience in these 3,595 edits, I learned a lot, on how many editors edit Wikipedia. Will all due respect, as administrator, and with your diligence in contributions, I bet that you will never find any user in Wikipedia who contributes solely and daily, just to edit the works of another or single editor. And worst, this user, I repeat, devotes all his days and times in editing and deleting my edits, unilaterally even if I already have an adopting parent / administrator. Bypassing / these actuations have no place in Wikipedia. 
::'''6.''' This user’s bad faith editing of all my edits began when many Filipino editors won in the vote to delete my 2 articles here. I lost the vote, but I lost to Filipino editors. Why? The issue there which I squarely raised was self-defense of Truth by an editor, via Wikipedia’s best and only article [[Psalm 109]] which, I recited midnights, to fight injustice. In the midst of the vote of these Filipino editors in AFD, I lamented on my 8 years longest suspension in world judicial history and am now jobless due to [[UST]]’s [[Alfredo Benipayo]], a Filipino jurist, [[COMELEC]] Chair, etc. In the middle of our debates, this jurist fell and was hospitalized (like in my more than 800 prophecies).[http://www.gmanews.tv/story/81828/Ex-Comelec-chief-Benipayo-rushed-to-hospital-in-Iloilo] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Benipayo#Angioplasty] He threatened my adopter and because of this, my adopter resigned[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ianlopez1115/Florentino_floro] This user directly replied to me that he is not a Filipino editor, when I raised the issue of vendetta-editing, but he refused to state his relationship with Filipino editors and his nationality, although such is not material  here. I want to submit this evidence to you, as my adopter and administrator, as best and additional evidence to BAN and BLOCK this user, or at the very least, to DISABLE his editing, or to stop him, while I am under your adoption, to edit any of my edits or articles or additions.

:::This got a lot more heated than I had intended. My only response is that all of my edits of Floro's edits were justified.

I have tried in good faith to help instruct him in better editing practices and he responds with off topic rants. He has a non-neutral agenda, involving 1) a vendetta against those people who he feels contributed to him being disbarred as a judge, including [[Rene Saguisag]], [[Regino C.

==What's up?==
Hi Diligent, I realize that in a sense I started this argument, and I apologize for you now being in the middle of it. I imagine you may feel like you stepped right into a pile of non-terrier mess. That said, I am a little worried about the way it has escalated here on your talkpage. It has been several days of this back and forth, and I feel it may be time for you to either step in and say something or to refer this to [[WP:ANI]].

I'm sure i'll ask for your help a lot.

Well, that's not a good thing. And I think the "Adopt 5 users" barnstar is a terrible idea, it gives a bad idea out. Actually, I'm sorely tempted to get it deleted. It's not about the amount of people you adopt, and having 16 adoptees, or more, is stretching yourself far too thin, if you're doing it right. I have only one adoptee, [[User:RyRy5|RyRy5]], but my adoption works differently, is a dedicated program, as shown [[User:Steve Crossin/Adoption|here.]] Cheers. <font face="Lucida Calligraphy" color="blue">[[User:Steve Crossin|Steve Crossin]] [[User talk:Steve Crossin|(talk)]] [[Wikipedia:Editor review/Steve Crossin|(review)]]</font> 19:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

==Conclusive Evidence of Flagrant Violation of WikiPedia Rules by [[User:Maxschmelling]]==
Hi, adopting parent. Now, I am fully armed with heavy evidence against this user. It is time for us to ban or at the very least suspend and disable [[User:Maxschmelling]] contributions lest more insults, contempt to co-equal editors, and utter destruction of this good encyclopedia's article be further enjoined against more damages. 

'''First''', let me prove that - this user's contributions
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Maxschmelling] are 95% sole edits of my contributions, and 100% of all of this user's edit by reverting my contributions, are in clear, palpable and flagrant violations of editing, and ethics among or for co-equal editors/users. Please examine each and every contritions of this user from about April until today. 

'''Second''', he evades this issue, by making it appear that this user contributes to other articles, but this user does not know how to edit,  never reads the links, news, etc., and solely hurriedly edits. So, here this user was caught, was cursed, lambasted and insulted by a veteran editor, and this user complained of personal attacks. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Maxschmelling#Paul_McCartney] I quote this against this user: ''" How dare you delete a sentence with a reference? You wrote: (supporting Everton is not a significant element of McCartney's lifestyle) with a reference?...McCartney is also a known supporter of Everton Football Club.[1]Shame on you.--andreasegde (talk) 00:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)"; "In your words: "description of divorce hearing is not necessary" Which planet are you living on?--andreasegde (talk) 00:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC); You're not English are you? For anybody in the UK, which team you support is almost a religous faith. If you ever get the chance to vist Liverpool or Manchester (or anywhere really) I suggest you stand in the middle of pub on a Saturday night and say that football is not notable...As for your complaints about what I said; I think that they were not insulting enough, because you deleted a referenced sentence. That is tantmount to vandalism, or blind stupidity in Wikipedia. What makes you think references are not notable enough, and that they can be deleted? The arrogance of it...The judge's ruling vindicated McCartney from Mills' lies about him cutting her with a wine glass and letting her crawl to the bathroom. If Mills' was proven to be a liar, I think that is notable enough. Would you think it was not notable if someone said that about you? I think you would..--andreasegde (talk) 12:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)'' 

'''Third''', in my additions to [[Orobanchaceae]] New genus and species [[Talk:Orobanchaceae]] I quote this: "Well, once there is such a genus, it becomes easy, but the question is what to do for the 6 months or so that it will take. I think it shows admirable restraint to not jump the gun and start using the genus name before there is a validly published name. We've had similar situations with Red List entries for "sp. nov. A" and the like (see for example Rhus and search for "Rhus sp. nov. A"), and at least in that case we just put it in the article for the higher level taxon (although it seems a bit odd, I agree, it isn't clear whether there is a better solution). Kingdon (talk) 04:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)" 

'''Fourth''', in the landmark and historical UP Charter of 2008 which I added, this user 2 x deleted this alleging mere budget law, but it is not. So here it stay. Pure vandalisms as andreasegde (talk) simply put it against this user. [[University of the Philippines]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_the_Philippines#UP_Charter_of_2008]. 

'''Fifth''', this user attacked my edit here, but in CHORUS, he was denied, contradicted and refuted in detail by several voters who voted against his request for deletion of my edit:[[Talk:San Diego State University]][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:San_Diego_State_University#Drug_ring_on_campus.2C_arrest_and_jail] maxsch argued: "Is this really relevant to the article? I would argue that it isn't,  I vote for removal. maxsch (talk) 18:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)* It's relevant because of the size of the operation ... OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)* In my opinion, its RELEVANT - Streltzer (talk) 01:49, 9 May 2008 (UTC)* I would believe this to be relevant, especially for its considerable size. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 02:00, 9 May 2008 (UTC)* However, as the largest operation of it's kind in San Diego County, it is notable. I included the fact that the community has a mixed reaction to it. Perhaps others can add more as the story unfolds. OhNoitsJamie Talk 03:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)" --[[User:Florentino floro|Florentino floro]] ([[User talk:Florentino floro|talk]]) 07:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)'''In view of the foregoing''', and since this user caused the resignation of my former adopting parent, causing damages, I respectully ask you to watch all his daily edits by deleting and reverting all my edits, as I continuously revert them also. I further ask that you cause a petition to ban him be filed with the adminstrators. Regards. --[[User:Florentino floro|Florentino floro]] ([[User talk:Florentino floro|talk]]) 07:14, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

:I think the central point is getting lost here. I edit a lot of [[User:Florentino floro]]'s contributions. That has never been disputed. But I don't do it out of vindictiveness, I do it because he has a documented habit of adding [[wp:NPOV|biased]], [[wp:trivia|trivial]], [[wp:relevance|irrelevant]], and [[wp:notable|non-notable]] content. I do it to make wikipedia articles more readable and more sensible. I do it because if no one did it, wikipedia would be worse. It's a thankless job. On several instances I have talked to him (in good faith) about specific wikipedia policies and tried to show him how his edits could be improved. I have even encouraged him when he added useful content. But it is clear that he isn't interested in listening to me. We would all be better off if someone (how about his adopter?) would step in and teach him better editing practices. Then I could leave him to edit unsupervised and he could quit attacking and threatening me. [[User:Maxschmelling|maxsch]] ([[User talk:Maxschmelling|talk]]) 22:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

It’s edits like this one [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Florentino_floro&diff=prev&oldid=186051551] that led me to figure out that he was making biased edits.

== Uncivil behaviour ==
I would take far less offense to someone cursing at me and calling me all kinds of names, than I do at having someone accuse me of behaviour and refusing to address my response.  I don't know that I am correct or that you are not correct.  But you did level an accusation at me, and I proceeded to explain my perspective and you refused to acknowledge my points, saying that you don't have the time.  So you ''do'' have the time to throw mud on other people, but you ''don't'' have the time to engage in a civil discussion of why you may have been mistaken in your mudslinging?  How can I see this as anything other than arrogance and contempt for others?  A civil editor, in my judgement, is willing to discuss such things, and is willing to consider the possibility that he might have been mistaken.  And I acknowledge that ''I may be in error'' here—but as of this moment I believe that you have erred.  Since you are the one impugning reputations here, the burden should be on you to discuss the matter.  If not, what kind of world would we have, where reputations can be maligned at the arbitrary whim of one person?  Do you not understand the value of civil discourse, or just not share it?

==Homeschooling project==
Thanks for the invitation to this project, but I must decline. It's not a subject that interests me particularly. I've had [[Unschooling]] on my watchlist for a long time, ever since a long-ago edit when I encountered [[:Category:Ageism]] and removed Unschooling and other apparently irrelevant articles from the category. I'll continue my peripatetic efforts to improve the article (and monitor for vandalism), but don't look for me to contribute on other Homeschooling topics.

Hi diligent, sorry to keep hounding you about this, but your adoptee is getting really out of hand with his edits and his personal attacks. Have you decided to keep yourself out of it?

I feel like I have given you all the information and evidence you could possibly need and I really want to get to a point where this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Banana#First_in_world_history_of_banana] kind of thing doesn't happen anymore.

:::You have got to be kidding me! I have responded with details and plenty of examples every time you asked a question up to now, and you are asking me to start over. I have stayed civil in response to repeated personal attacks. I understand that you want to stay neutral, but your neutrality is really starting to look like inaction. You adopted Floro nearly three weeks ago and you have not given him one single piece of advice, when he very clearly could use some. I feel like I am wasting my time. You have shown no real intention of becoming involved, and now this: "I just want to give both parties a chance to give their side of the story." That chance has been given and both sides have responded in excessive detail. If you have a specific question that has not yet been answered, I am happy to try to answer it, but it doesn't make sense to me to repeat all the same accusations.

:Thanks for your kindness. Wikipedia is a place for all fellow editors and even administrators, especially, adopting parents, to help make Wikipedia better. If an editor has a grudge, complaint or accusation against another co-equal editor, there are, for sure, rules and policies that Wiki had in the past and present provided. But rules and policies cannot in any manner change any hidden agenda, anger, bitterness and hypocrisy on the part of editors. Human nature dictates and such is the truth of matter in this broken world of materialism, where rage rules. [[User:Maxschmelling|maxsch]] had been repeatedly contradicted by many editors on his edits of my contributions. I suggested and advised that he should carefully read the rules and policies of Wikipedia without any subjectivity. Cold neutrality so to speak, of an impartial jurist. I just wonder why this user had concentrated on my edits, daily and reverted or deleted almost all my edits, without even giving any chance to other editors to comment, to ask for their sides, and more importantly, with due respect, he must have had  at the very least, asked the opinions of creators of the articles I contributed to. You will notice, that when he reverts and deletes my edits, and I revert or re-add, he is IGNORED by any and all editors, and in several time, he was objected to and lambasted. Remember the "shame on you" and "What planet are you in?" hurled to his face by a no nonsense editor. My former parent resigned because of this [[crab mentality]]. This user needs a lot of rest and mental therapy, and this is not a personal attack since this is a Wiki truth. Finally, '''this editor uses his account''' here, '''only to edit my works''', wherein, none of the editors ever complained of, and this user never created any article nor contributed, by adding new edits. This is the essence of pure [[vandalism]] in the highest sense of the word. To be sure, if an editor will not vandalize, but will edit, by deleting not in a pattern or scheme, but daily and continuously, and focusing on my edits, what is this, is this not sheer vandalism? I am, I am, and I am, precisely, under adoption. Ergo, due respect, must be accorded by this fellow user not only to you, as adopting parent, but, imagine, to a former administrator, who was and is well versed in rules. Due process and courtesy plus kindness require that this user must respect you, as adopting parent, and give you all the time and chances to correct my edit/s, lest rage and vendetta of dark human nature reign supreme in this Encyclopedia. Reason dictates, that if my edit is bad or wrong, then other editors, would, for sure, revert, delete or amend my edit. Such is coherence and neutrality among co-equal users. Just my comment, dear parent. I know you are tired of this user, but let it go. It will pass. Let administrators take care of this user in a fair and honest discussion or debate where both of us are squarely given chances to air sides and submit evidence. A final word. Lest I be misconstrued, I, as judge / lawyer, give you my parent, an unsolicited homily: as an authority for having joined in 140 forums, a user or member, like this editor, who continuously perturbs not only editors, former administrator, and now, adopting parent, inter alia, the sole remedy to this rage and mental shock, is IGNORE.

== Userpage layout ==

Hi. Have you ever wondered how your userpages look in non-monobook skins (which, conversely to what one might think are in common use, especially by long-standing contributors)? I happen to use the modern skin (a popular alternative) and I must say that the tricks with floating images completely obscure the action buttons on the userpage (edit, watch, etc.) and generally look messy (on both pages) as you can [{{fullurl:User:Diligent Terrier|useskin=modern}} see for] [{{fullurl:User talk:Diligent Terrier|useskin=modern}} yourself]. Do you think you could do something about it? Thanks, [[User:Misza13|Миша]][[User talk:Misza13|<span style="color:green">'''13'''</span>]] 09:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Request for Peer Review help ==

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at [[Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog]]. I have three requests to help this continue.

1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with ''Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at [[Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog]] (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...''

2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the [[Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers|PR volunteers]] page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.

3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at [[Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits]]. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.

Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. [[User:Ruhrfisch|Ruhrfisch]]  '''[[User talk:Ruhrfisch|<sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt;</sub><small>&deg;</small><sup><small>&deg;</small></sup>]]''' 21:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

== Sock Puppet Issue surrounding Jimboss69 IP ==

I have been asked to leave you a message with regards to this situation by one of my co-workers.  The IP you listed as a potential sock puppet is actually shared by several users.  Many of these people do in fact make constructive edits on Wikipedia.  Others may be acting disruptively.  That aside though the IP, in and of its self is not a sock puppet of a single user, vandal or otherwise.  Co-workers who have found they can not log into their own accounts are slightly disgruntled over this matter as most of them are not, and have nothing to do with, Jimboss69.  Please take this factor into consideration when addressing the "sock puppetry" issue. [[User:Simonm223|Simonm223]] ([[User talk:Simonm223|talk]]) 14:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

== McCain's VP ==

Since I left the United States and came back to Europe, I'm not following US politics as I did when I was there. My hopes are on Huckabee, but I don't know if McCain could choose him. I think that he needs a conservative anyway, better if Southern and with governor's experience. I don't think Romney, Rice, Powell and Lieberman would be good choices. I would choose between Huckabee, but what about Tim Pawlenty, Mark Sanford, Bill Owens and Charlie Christ? I really don't know... what are your ideas instead? --[[User:Checco|Checco]] ([[User talk:Checco|talk]]) 16:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

He's an evangelist, and thus is against gay marriage and abortion, but he's not a conservative at all. Look at his foreign policy.

::::::McCain is definitely a fiscal conservative (he has one of the best Senate track records in fighting for taxpayers), but the whole reason he's had such trouble getting the nomination (he should've been there in 2000) is because many say he's not a true conservative.

:Just as a spectator looking in, I would say a McCain-Romney ticket would be best <sup>(just because an Obama-Richardson ticket could beat them dead)</sup>. <span style="cursor:help"><span style="color:#FF8C00; font-family:'Elephant';">Basketball110</span></span> <sup>'''[[User:Basketball110|My story]]'''</sup>/<sub>'''[[User talk:Basketball110|Tell me yours]]'''</sub> 02:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== WP:NBA June Newsletter ==

I just wanted to tell you that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject National Basketball Association/Newsletter/Archives/3|June newsletter]] for WP:NBA is finished. Preferably, it would delivered on June 1. However, seeing that you're on a wikibreak, maybe not *sigh* Anyway, I hope you can get to it sometime. All that needs to be done is to send it to everyone on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject National Basketball Association/newsletter/receive|this list]].

On a side note, have you thought about archiving recently? (hint, hint) [[User:Noble Story|Noble Story]] ([[User talk:Noble Story|talk]]) 07:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
