==Promo Material?==
Your removal of URLs on Sarfatti's site seems totally inexplicable. It seems that all references to Sarfatti's writings, his TV/movie appearances, indeed the whole web page is "promo material" using your criterion. Isn't the fact that Sarfatti is in a multi-million dollar motion picture with Uri Geller relevant to his bio? This movie is made by a multi-millionaire with close connections to the Dutch Royal Family. Can you explain your reasoning in this case? :-) [[User:SamuelJohnson714|SamuelJohnson714]] 02:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)Samuel Johnson

I noticed your offer to help in the [[Adam Long]] case on [[wikipedia:deletion review|deletion review]]. Ajaxsemaphor has created [[User:Ajaxsemaphor/Adam Long]] at my suggestion and I've given him some pointers on sourcing, which he has accepted, and I told him I think it's basically okay. If you agree that it's acceptable as a reasonable Wikipedia stub, we might put it to the debate at [[Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_June_29#Adam_Long|the Adam Long deletion review]]. --[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]] 21:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

First of all, the unqualified deletions of a rude anon are not a breach of 3RR. They are removal of vandalism. Second, why can't you even look at the evidence I've provided on the talk page before reverting in a knee-jerk fashion. If I could do it for the anon, you can sure as hell do it for me.

I regret to inform the Wikipedia community that Calton Bolick has passed away, Friday evening Japan time, after a short illness. I've known Cal online for more than 30 years; he was always a fascinating and complicated intellect, sometimes a bit pointy on the edges, but always honest and direct in the pursuit of truth.

The content of these user pages is well within the allowed limits for a User page. For article namespace I would gladly remove it under CSD:G12, but a user has much more leeway when it comes to their user page. I removed the speedy tags.

:"Spam"? "Advertising"? How can an unlinked userpage advertise anything? Who other than RC patrollers even sees this page? I think you are chasing shadows here. Yes, G12 can be applied to any page, but review [[WP:USER]]--the standards for a userpage are very different from those of the article namespace. I also notice these accounts haven't made any useful edits since they were (recently!) created. By deleting their user page, we are making it more likely that they never will. I know similar userpages are being deleted--incorrectly--all the time. I'd appreciate your help in stopping this practice. [[User:OwenX|Owen&times;]] [[User talk:OwenX|<big>&#9742;</big>]] 03:46, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

::I agree with [[User:OwenX|Owen&times;]]. These type of pages, when created in mainspace, are actually moved to editors' user pages.

:::And as you are aware in relation to version of pages such as these [[:User:Losplad]], [[:User:Chris funk bass]] when you put up Speedy Tags, I agree also with Admin OwenX <i>et al</i> and others that have posted comments on your talk page in relation to you adding such tags where those pages are '''simply not SPAM'''. Indeed your edits especially '''[[User_talk:VirtualSteve#Spam|here]]''' come across as disruptive and in breach of [[WP:POINT]].

==Your opinion welcome at deletion review for Plot of Les Mis ==
After [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plot of Les Misérables]] closed as a deletion, I'm challenging the way the closing administrator acted as in violation of Wikipedia rules. Your participation is welcome at that discussion, [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 July 14]]. Please keep in mind that only arguments related to either new information or to how Wikipedia rules were violated or not violated in closing the discussion will be considered. It isn't a replay of the original AfD. I'm familiar with [[WP:CANVASSING]] and I am alerting everyone who participated in that discussion to the deletion review. I won't contact anyone again on this topic, and I apologize if you consider this note distracting. [[User:Noroton|Noroton]] 04:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

== userfication ==

I hope you have noticed that I have given up userfying. Moreover, I have noted a few cases of user pages that you might like to watch. Look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20070601000000&limit=500&contribs=user&target=RHaworth&namespace=2 this contributions list] and search it for "Calton". -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 11:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

==Stephens City, Virginia (Sept 1/Oct 3)==
Sorry Calton, it's not "gone" just because you say it is. When something happens in a colonial state and it only happens '''THREE''' times in that state and only '''THREE''' times, yeah, it's notable.

I have many forms of proof that Thomas Lord Fairfax only helped with the charter of Stephensburgh (later [[Stephens City, Virginia|Stephens City]]) and no other town. He helped with the founding of Stephensburgh and what would be modern-day [[Leesburg, Virginia]] and the expansion of [[Winchester, Virginia]].

With all that, he was only instrumental in the charter ''and'' founding of Stephensburgh. No other Lord from England did this and it was ''not'' common practice for Lords to do this. So, yeah, it's notable and way beyond trivial. - [[User:Neutralhomer|<font color="#0000C8">NeutralHomer</font>]] <span style="font-size: 0.8em;"><sup>[[User Talk:Neutralhomer|T]]:[[Special:Contributions/Neutralhomer|C]]</sup></span> 22:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Why did you tag [[User:Jon.baldwin]] for speedy deletion? Was it just a mistake? How can a user page be blatant advertising? [[User:Billlion|Billlion]] 08:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
:Please justify your case for deletion on [[User:Jon.baldwin]]'s talk page. It seems that you have set about speedy deletion of a number of User pages. I know nothing about the others but I do know this user. You seem to be suggesting that the existence of this user name itself is spam. But it is just the Jon Baldwin's name. What is wrong with that?[[User:Billlion|Billlion]] 21:19, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
::Ah I think I see what you are doing from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=User%3AJon.baldwin deletion log]. It seems to me that a not-very active user has had his page spammed, perhaps by someone with the same name. If you delete rather than revert the page, then when he does log in he will be confused as to why he is given a warning when trying to create his own user page (not having much wikipedia experience). If you had simply reverted the edit he could at least see what had happened on the history tab. Actually I don't know how to check who was the spammer was as I can't see the history log. I am pretty sure this [[User:Jon.baldwin]] is not ''Jon Baldwin, President Circulation Service America'', but of course I cannot be sure without looking at the history.

''"Either obey or obey" is not a part of [[WP:DR]]'' - Nor are they dessert toppings or floor waxes -- which is just as much a ''non sequitor'', perhaps even less so, than that bit of handwaving.

For better of worse (worse in my opinion, which doesn't account for much) consensus at WP tends to want to keep articles about minor royals even if they are exiled from the kingdoms, dukedoms, etc., even if they are minutes old (just wait the Countess of Wessex gives birth), so they are not candidates for speedy deletion; take it to [[WP:AFD]] if you disagree, but please do not keep tagging it.

==Image source problem with Image:Collegesequoisseal.png==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|32px|left|Image Copyright problem]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Collegesequoisseal.png]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{Tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Fair use]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use]]. See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too.

==Socionomics==
Just because I am an Elliott Wave proponent does not mean I get anything from Robert Prechter, or that I even believe that socionomics is useful, or agree with him. If you read the quote in my book, I said that I really did not believe one could forecast fundamentals with the Wave Theory (which is what socionomics suggests). I supported keeping the article merely because I believe that socionomics is noteworthy, and that there is ever growing research into the field (meaning my comment in my book could prove to be wrong, although as of know I just don't know). I also support the article being rewritten by somebody other than RFolsom because of the COI, but I do not know enough about it. At some point, if I have time to read up on it, I will write about it. I do not understand why you think I should not write the article. Can you give me a good reason?[[User:Sposer|Sposer]] 13:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't want to clutter [[Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Infinite_monkey_theorem_in_popular_culture]] any further, but you mentioned several times that mathematicians and statisticians have no special knowledge of the article. I have a different opinion and am curious if we could work it out. -[[User:Weston.pace|Weston.pace]] 21:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

:First, do you believe that pop culture articles should exist at all (a valid opinion)? If not, then I agree with you, mathematicians and statisticians have no special knowledge against that argument.

:If you do, then there must be some decision as to whether the article is a valid culture article or not. It's here that I believe mathematicians and statisticians could have special knowledge. They would have a better idea from personal experience (because on average, I believe they pay attention to monkey references more often than the average person) as to whether the article is significant enough or not.

:I'm not trying to argue about deletion policy or the article itself, but you seem frustrated that no one is answering your question, and I'm intrigued by your point of view, so I hope we can have an interesting discussion.

== speedy deleting image talk pages ==

Hi Calton. Just to let you know that many image talk pages cannot be speedied because they contain a discussion of their deletion. Often, this is the only trace non-admins can have explaining why their favorite image was deleted. Common practice is to err on the side of keeping even when there is fairly limited info about the deletion process. For instance, I won't delete [[Image talk:Aya Hirano.jpg]] (not that anybody would care if I did but stil...). Cheers, [[User:Pascal.Tesson|Pascal.Tesson]] 02:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
:Look, I don't want to be a jerk about it but the fact is I've seen quite a few of these end up in DRV, creating a complete waste of time for everybody. As far as I'm concerned, even those containing significant debate should be deleted as I don't think anybody actually reads them after the fact but that's the way everybody agreed to do it. In any case, these errant talk pages are not posing any problem and it's unclear to me why you would choose to spend much time hunting them down. Cheers, [[User:Pascal.Tesson|Pascal.Tesson]] 02:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
::Don't worry, they waste server space even after they're deleted. As a matter of fact, everything that was ever written or uploaded on Wikipedia remains on the server and admins can restore things that were deleted years ago. The only difference about these parts of the database is that they are not accessible to ordinary users. The only motivation for deleting talk pages of non-existent pages is to keep things tidy. You are right to say that the deletion discussions make no sense whatsoever for users who can't see the image but the reason these talk pages are kept is for users who previously ''did'' see the image as part of their favorite article and want to know what happened to it. There's no need to get upset here, all I'm saying is please don't tag these talk pages with a db tag because people like me who are cleaning up [[CAT:CSD]] will just lose time removing the tags.

== Power Girl, other media ==

Hey, I want you to know, I reverted the removal of the mention of the Power Girl fanfilms from the main [[Power Girl]] page because there was a pretty healthy debate over it when articles about the first two came up for deletion. In the end, the compromise that seemed to satisfy everyone was to delete the articles themselves as not notable enough to warrant separate articles, but to keep a small mention of them in the "In Other Media" section of the main PG page, since they ARE the first motion-picture (i.e., film, TV, cartoon, whatever you want--any visual medium that's not static) depiction of Kara Zor-L/Power Girl herself, thus meeting the notability requirement for a passing mention in the main article. (Indeed, DC seems to have given Blinky Productions its tacit approval, in that a DC-contracted writer, [[Gail Simone]], recently did a pro bono script for one of his other films.)

Forgive the inquiry, but how am I "spinning" to note that "indicted" and "AP" is insufficient criteria under [[WP:BLP1E]]?

:Your crap about "left-wing blogs" is the spin. Oh, nice double spin with your characterization above: generally, one is supposed to address arguments '''actually made''' by the person you're arguing with, not ones you've projected onto them. See [[Straw-man argument]]. Find the accusation uncivil? Stop the behavior prompting the accusation. --[[User:Calton|Calton]] | [[User talk:Calton|Talk]] 05:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

::I still don't understand what you're complaining about. The subject has been covered by left-wing blogs. Your argument still doesn't address the BLP1E issue. And, yes, calling my argument "crap" is un[[WP:CIVIL]], and I've raised it [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#.5B.5BUser:Calton.5D.5D_and_.5B.5BUser_talk:THF.5D.5D_and_.5B.5BWikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.2FPatrick_Syring.5D.5D|here]]. [[User:THF|THF]] 05:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

(WQA initial response) THF, I don't really think Calton ment anything by his orignal "spin" comment. Although "spin" ''can'' be pejorative, it isn't always -- in some regions of the US, the term is used as generic slang for the way someone presents any argument (i.e. as a synonym for "the way you made it sound"). Also, Calton never mentioned WP:BLP1E in his deletion comment (about your spin), he was talking about WP:CRYSTAL. Your inquiry, while politely phrased, did indeed seem to suffer from a bit of straw-man. If you disagree with his AFD argument, or it's not well-enough explained in your opinion, you don't need to respond to it, that's the beauty of AFD. If he doesn't explain his arguments well enough, they won't play much of a factor in the decision of the admin who closes the AFD.

Calton, your reply to his inquiry did cross the line of civility. Referring to another editors opinion or statements as "crap" is rude, in my opinion. Just because another editor does something that you disagree with is no excuse to behave rudely. Your remark, <blockquote>Find the accusation uncivil? Stop the behavior prompting the accusation.</blockquote> sounds like you're excusing rude comments to an editor because you disagree with their behavior. I'm sure you know that's not acceptable, you've been around long enough to know that. PLEASE keep that in mind when you choose how to phrase your comments to other editors.

I hope this helps you both with a little perspective on the issue. This same message will be posted on both of your talk pages to ensure you both see it. If you'd like to respond, or wish to have further discourse with each other, please do so at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#.5B.5BWP:CIVIL.5D.5D:_.5B.5BUser:Calton.5D.5D_and_.5B.5BUser_talk:THF.5D.5D_and_.5B.5BWikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.2FPatrick_Syring.5D.5D WQA page].

==DRV dispute==
Hi,

If you wish to dispute my restoral of the new draft of Gaeltacht (a choice that I do consider silly, as neither G4, nor AfDs, nor DRVs apply to content that is substantially different than the prior version), you'll need to open a new DRV request. It's a new day -- for one thing -- and your reasons are very distinct from the previous request. Reopening an old DRV for a wholly new purpose will only hopelessly confuse people. I have re-closed the old DRV for this reason. Best wishes, [[User:Xoloz|Xoloz]] 15:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:Hmmmm... I'm guessing the reason I moved the content is that it is a wonderful new, sourced draft the creator produced after userfication, which was wholly different from the AfD and DRV versions. You really haven't looked into this much, have you?

:The reason I closed the August 23 DRV early was because the deletion had been endorsed the prior day at DRV, and the newbie DRV nominator made a nomination that sounded clueless, and wasn't going to garner support. When I talked with him a bit, I realized that -- despite his (understandable) mistakes in presenting his case, he was a good-faith guy with a good case for undeletion. When I prompted him to write a new draft, he did a fabulous job in just a few hours. Yay for him, yay for Wikipedia, yay for solid, sourced content. You are welcome to open a new AfD on the new draft, but I suspect it will survive. In any case, there was no abuse of process whatsoever -- wiki-process always allows for substantial article improvement to supercede prior deletion decisions. You've been around long enough to know that; and to know also that the question of whether an article is "substantially different" is routinely left up to individual admin judgment through CSD G4. The goal is a good article, and that's what now exists, and what changed over the course of a day. Best wishes, [[User:Xoloz|Xoloz]] 04:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Nope, wrong again (you keep striking out). Based on the comments on your own user page, YOU are the one who resorts to name-calling and bullying.

Inasmuch as you've apparently asked that he not write you, it is probably appropriate that [[User:Neutralhomer|Neutralhomer]] has not informed you of his having raised concerns with respect to your civility an AN/I, viz., [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Calton...again|here]]; I write, then, to apprise you of the existence of the thread.

I should note that, according to NeutralHomer's recitation of the facts, which appears on its face to be accurate, you replied to a comment he made at [[User talk:VigilancePrime]], focusing, in part (and, one supposes, untowardly), on him qua contributor rather than on his contributions (although I certainly understand the occasional need of one to reference an editor's previous problems comporting his editing with policy in addressing certain actions or comments of that editor), and then upon his replying to you there accused him of wikistalking and the like. One gets the impression from reading NH's comments, at the very least, that you (perhaps quite properly) joined a conversation between NH and another editor and then suggested that NH's replying to your comment evidenced his wikistalking you; such a suggestion would seem rather absurd, of course, and so if there's some clarification that might be helpful here, you might be well served to offer it, should you think it worth a bit of time, at AN/I.

== ????? ==

When I will login it says I have a message and then I see a message from you saying something about blocking me and a hoax? Then I login and is gone? Some explanations please...<font face="georgia">[[User:heltzen|Heltzen]][[User talk:heltzen|◩]]</font> 13:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

You are kidding right? I also don't know who you are! I come to login and before I enter my data it shows up the banner "You have a message", I click and at the top says User talk:213.133.97.162 and a lot of nonsense, then I try to edit the page and tells me I am blocked. All this still out, not logged, then I login and puff! all is gone! Someone is kidding with both of us or what? <font face="georgia">[[User:heltzen|Heltzen]][[User talk:heltzen|◩]]</font> 14:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry but now I am lost. Why it shows up to me if it is not for me? Was I hacked or my username was hijacked? Sorry, I am totally lost in this one . So I get that is not for me but why it pops up to me ? I also understand is not yours right? <font face="georgia">[[User:heltzen|Heltzen]][[User talk:heltzen|◩]]</font> 14:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I checked now and my IP is 213.133.97.162, so what that means? <font face="georgia">[[User:heltzen|Heltzen]][[User talk:heltzen|◩]]</font> 14:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm not worry, just preventive, you never know. So, for closing the matter, the thing is for someone else with the same IP, right? One more thing, there is between your messages an unsigned bit telling me that "in my panic...(whatever)" was that you? That was a talk to someone else right? Are we OK? Don't need to bother you or get bothered any more right? <font face="georgia">[[User:heltzen|Heltzen]][[User talk:heltzen|◩]]</font> 14:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

=> That's exactly what my remarks are ment for; about the widely known weapontrade for Bosnia and how/if (as partner of Sacirbey) Mabel was involved, with naming the sources, so they can be investigated further. When the sources are verified, this info can eventually be incoorporated in general page instead of discussion. [[User:201.237.112.206|201.237.112.206]] 16:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I said some of the things I wanted to say about you and your good friend Guy at that Administrators Noticeboard thing. If you're so concerned about why I'm defending a good editor like NeutralHomer against a troublesome editor such as yourself, look there.

It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that.

Some ground rules before you leave a message

  1. I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
  2. This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
  3. If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Wikipedia guidelines or rules, note that Wikipedia is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
  4. There is no Rule 4.
  5. Don't post when drunk. Seriously.
  6. All communication sent via the "E-mail this user" link is considered public, at my discretion. Reasonable requests for confidentiality will be honored, but the whole "e-mail is sacrosanct and private" argument I do not buy for one solitary second. Do not expect to use that argument as an all-purpose shield.
  7. Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
  8. Don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. Do I look like Montel Williams? Do I? NO? Then don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams.
  9. Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
  10. Please post at the bottom of the page and "sign" your posts using the squiggly things (--~~~~).
  11. Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a No Smoking page.
Thank you. -- The Management.



RIP Calton Bolick (1961-2022)

[edit]

I regret to inform the Wikipedia community that Calton Bolick has passed away, Friday evening Japan time, after a short illness. I've known Cal online for more than 30 years; he was always a fascinating and complicated intellect, sometimes a bit pointy on the edges, but always honest and direct in the pursuit of truth. I'll miss him. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 04:42, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
