Hello PAGENAME! Welcome etc.

War on Giftmas

Flakeloaf, I am in the process of creating the War against Christmas, and so it is not completed yet.

If it's anything like the Christmas Controversies article, I suspect you may see them merged very soon. Flakeloaf 10:17, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advice

Thank you for the advice, I do very much appreciate it! Kris Classic 23:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chi-ling Lin Mediation Request

Since neither editor expressed a desire to keep this mediation private, we'd may as well hash it out on the article's mediation page. After sandboxing the wording a bit here, I've moved my initial impressions there. Flakeloaf 03:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: WebAPP AfD

Actually, Steel359 probably deserves the credit for resolving that issue. :) --Core desat 00:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And here I thought it was you who tugged the chain; I wasn't sure if your participation in the AfD discussion put you in a COI position but hey, ask not get not! Flakeloaf 00:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you commenty again...

...on your third opinion? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 07:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As requested, though you might not like what I had to say. A 3O's by no means binding though, so kick this one a bit farther up the stairs if you wish. Flakeloaf 08:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your commentary. Smee 09:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Chiling Lin MedCab

Thanks for the mediation. I like your assessment and examples, especially since it comes from an English speaking, non-American perspective, which will hopefully produce a more balanced result than what I might suggested. Comatose51 15:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can only hope! Flakeloaf 14:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wanna chat?

Well, at the moment, not really. For the last week or so, Jeff has been persistently making false accusations and personal attacks about me all over the wiki, and that includes this so-called mediation request. Basically, any recent discussion with him boils down to him namecalling rather than making actual arguments. Several people have pointed that out to him already, but he apparently feels justified in attacking people he considers disruptive. If you can get him to retract those accusations and attacks, and to stop making them in the future, I'd be happy do discuss our disagreements. >Radiant< 15:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That definitely sounds like step one, at least until the accusations spill over into WP:CIVIL's talk page. Flakeloaf 15:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll keep it centralized here for the moment, Flake, you have my permission to move it to the mediation page at any point. I have not made any false accusations, and I feel that I have not made any personal attacks (with the exception of one this morning that I half-heartedly regret). I've made my statement at the MedCab page and stand by it, and I do not plan to retract any of my statements. I don't plan on responding to him in the future unless it's for substantive discussion, but I can't promise that. A lot of good faith in this process would be restored if he made a vow to cease his disruptive editing and actually make efforts to build consensus as this progresses, but I'm not going to allow myself to feel bullied. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To refer to another user as "disruptive" is tantamount to calling them a vandal; that sounds like a personal attack to me. Not expressing remorse over having attacked someone earlier is also not conducive to bridge-building. Farbeit from me to advise anyone, but since you're already listening to me might I suggest we all revisit this subject next week when the wikistress has defused a tad? Flakeloaf 15:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine by me. I don't know when/how the stress will diffuse in the meantime, but I'm rolling with you for the time being. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Might I suggest that you delete the present medcab request as an attack page, and start with a clean slate? >Radiant< 15:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That will surely ease tensions. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for the excellent work you may or may not have been doing for the possibly nonexistent Cabal. --Ideogram 10:12, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd appreciate that if I knew what the hell you were talking about. Flakeloaf 19:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation Cabal. --Ideogram 05:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What Cabal? I'm not in any cabal! Flakeloaf 05:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, my mistake. (sounds of whipping in the background) Ouch! --Ideogram 05:49, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ECW One Night Stand Mediation

For several weeks before the event, Eric Bischoff talked about how much he hated ECW, and organized the WWE superstars involved in the brawl that took place. It's my opinion that TJ Spyke has the cause and effect mixed up. The brawl was caused BY Eric Bischoff organizing the wrestlers, which is why at the end of the show, he was beaten down by them. Bischoff hating ECW was built up for weeks, with promos against ECW, him organizing the WWE roster against them, and finally, sending them in to brawl.

Location Maps

On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the discussion (also in other sections α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 7 Feb 2007 20:12 (UTC)

Is this case still active? Just wondering as it appears no conversation on the issue has occurred anywhere in some time, but I may be wrong. If/when it is inactive or resolved or whatever, could you close it? Thanks loads. --Keitei (talk) 21:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks dead, Jim. Sorry, work's been distracting me from WP for a while. I'll shut it down; thanks for the poke. Flakeloaf 07:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Street Fighter character articles mediation

Hi, it's mr.bonus. I know you have edited a previous post of mine to remove the uncivil chat between me and Kung Fu Man but it needs to be logged that his behaviour has been, at times, antagonistic. My first point (which you edited) was a bit OTT for a mediation case (which I made hastilly in retalliation) but there are some things that need to be said as Kung Fu Man has been treating this debate as in the same vain as a forum argument. I have written a little along these lines and I would appreciate it if you would leave it as it is. You'll find that the comments I made are not disparagaring and are simply there to make the point. My comments are justified, as a quick comparison between my and Kung Fu Man's replies will show how he frequently posts in an un-called for antagonistic manner.

On a lighter note, thank for your assistance in this debate. You've put a lot of time into it so far. Mr.bonus 22:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
