For You Alison. King Lopez Contribs 09:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Awww - thank you :) I'll pass it on - Alison ☺ 05:34, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my page. Arimasen is a known village idiot in the Bemani community. You were there to correct my page for me, when I didn't get around to it. Thanks again. --Dj HaQ 17:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much

It's unusual for me to log in and not be met with harassment from Gaimhreadhan, so you seem to have resolved the problem. Brixton Busters 17:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. His block expired some days ago but he's not returned since - Alison ☺ 05:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have been referred to as the current Provisional IRA propaganda units', please help. Thanks. Brixton Busters 13:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, you have not. Please try and read more carefully...Gaimhreadhan (kiwiexile at DMOZ) talk • 19:04, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help:Logging in undo?

Any clue as to why when I tried to undo the move, it went to Help:Logging instead of Help:Logging in (history) ? ~Kylu (u|t) 05:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say you got tripped up with the space in the title, somehow. I was doubly-careful to ensure it was not escaped or anything. Though nobody noticed my fixing it :) - Alison ☺ 05:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed, thanks! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 05:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Amish troll

Hello there Allison, according to the ip's contribs that edit was his/her first offense. Am I missing something here. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 21:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems friends of the Amish shouldn't be allowed to edit articles either. =P Krimpet 22:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

I need you to visit my Userpage and Fix the icons at the very top right of the page. They're clahing and I don't know why.--Hornetman16 (talk) 03:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That'll probably stop 'im for five minutes, tops.

Just saying. Any possibility of a prefix block, or would that be too damaging? HalfShadow 07:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Krimpet/DaisiesI am an idiot. A troll like me is someone who starts arguments with disinfo or liges, so I am one of them. I do, however, flame. You are one of hundreds of incredible and wonderful cops who does or says things that takes thinking beyond entry-level college/university. -lysdexia —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.108.164.11 (talk) 07:38:16, August 2, 2007 (UTC)


I know yer a 'er. So am I (do I look like an 'Al'?). Anyways - fun's over with Riana. Sorry for that. By the way, WP:SOCK refers to using multiple accounts (or addresses) to evade blocks. Kinda like you're doing. Please also take my advice and read WP:AGF, WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL and WP:3RR. Work for you? - Alison ☺ 07:40, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
User:Krimpet/Daisies'Al' is not contradictory. As I'm banned, my "block" is forever, which is why Wp is a corrupt catch-22. faith? I will not assum any faith (faketh); it has nothing to do with the work here. The NPA page still does not explain what attacks are, nor does the civil page explain what civil is. That was true the year/years ago I was banned, and it's still true today. S-whatever was the one who broke the 3RR. I get banned for everyone else's sins. -lysdexia —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.108.164.11 (talk) 07:48:39, August 2, 2007 (UTC)


Oh, don't talk to the badlife, Al. HalfShadow 07:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Where's my flowerz?? I want my pretty flowerz??? - Alison ☺ 07:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Here ya go, hopefully this'll be the last that we need =) Krimpet 07:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty, pretty :) - Alison ☺ 07:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Technical question re: RfCs

Hey Alison, hoping you can answer this question -- just a technical question about who can or cannot certify a user-conduct RfC.

I started two RfCs for users in the long-time battle of the Battle of Washita River -- Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Custerwest and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/HanzoHattori -- and have been waiting around anxiously for User:Murderbike to get online & certify them as another user intimately involved in the same dispute. Just now, another user, User:The Evil Spartan, who has not at all been involved in the Battle of Washita River disputes but who has had much prior contact with HanzoHattori, came in to certify the HanzoHattori RfC. But it seems to me that his certification is invalid, as he hasn't been involved in the same dispute, but rather in other, unrelated disputes. I said this to him, but he thinks he possibly is okay to certify this. (See User talk:The Evil Spartan#HanzoHattori RfC.)

Is his certification valid? Thanks. --Yksin 19:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't believe so. From WP:RFC, "Before requesting community comment, at least two editors must have contacted the user on their talk page, or the talk pages involved in the dispute, and tried but failed to resolve the problem. Any RfC not accompanied by evidence showing that two users tried and failed to resolve the same dispute may be deleted after 48 hours. The evidence, preferably in the form of diffs, should not simply show the dispute itself, but should show attempts to find a resolution or compromise. The users certifying the dispute must be the same users who were involved in the attempt to resolve it." - that would indicate that, as User:The Evil Spartan has not been directly involved in trying to resolve the dispute, they cannot certify it. - Alison ☺ 19:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks. I'll let him know, & cross my fingers Murderbike shows up soon. --Yksin 19:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like MurderBike just showed up :) - Alison ☺ 19:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, a related article RfC has been initiated at Talk:Battle of Washita River#Request for comment. We could really use some comments from people outside the dispute. We've been dealing with this since July 1. Thanks. --Yksin 02:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More problems with Gaimhreadhan

Please see my comments here. What can be done about this disgraceful POV pushing please? Many thanks. Brixton Busters 00:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh... perhaps you could study our policies?...Gaimhreadhan (kiwiexile at DMOZ) talk • 00:42, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This looks like a content dispute, to be honest. There is POV-pushing going on on both sides. Your original statement was unsupported and it was indeed not neutral. I see nothing to take any action over at this point although I'd advise both of you to note the three revert rule - Alison ☺ 00:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your advice has been duly noted, Alison. Deity of your choice bless!...Gaimhreadhan (kiwiexile at DMOZ) talk • 01:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good. DOYCB, also :) - Alison ☺ 01:17, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't my original statement, it was in the article already. It was removed as it was unsupported, and it was added back with two references to support it. So I'm having difficulty understanding how it can be removed again? Brixton Busters 01:09, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. "the" original statement. While you've provided references, it's still not NPOV, in my opinion. I don't edit articles of that nature (by choice) and have no opinion as to the content. However, I note that both of you are discussing the matter on the talk page, so maybe you both can work through it from here - Alison ☺ 01:17, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that the reason the prisoners refused to leave their cells shouldn't have been removed completely, especially as it had been doubly sourced. However I see your point about NPOV, and I will address the wording to make it more neutral later, time permitting. Thank you for your assistance. Brixton Busters 07:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have now been accused of intellectual dishonesty, which according to the article is an obfuscatory way to say "you're lying" or "you're stupid". This editor's constant attacks on me are becoming tiresome. Brixton Busters 18:19, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, no. I have provided references so that you can study our policies (and the intellectual rationale for them) so that you do not needlessly revert again without considering your position in depth.
I'd also appreciate the courtesy of being alerted by e-mail or on my talk page when you mention me by name in an administrative complaint again. Thank you for your consideration!
I was also rather interested in your rationale for not considering your own "please do not misrepresent sources" as not being a teensy weensy bit accusatory...Gaimhreadhan (kiwiexile at DMOZ) talk • 18:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this okay...

[2] :-p ~ Wikihermit 22:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re [3]

I would ask that you not remove this link unless you have a specific objection to its inclusion. Per Help:Reverting, reverting a good-faith edit should not be done lightly; at a bare minimum, this would seem to imply that one should not revert a good faith edit when one does not actually disagree with its content, merely for reasons of fairness or process. John254 01:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have not removed it since. However, re-adding it as quick as it was smacks of triumphalism and as there is so much debate over it and a lot of unanswered questions from User:Steinsky on the ArbCom request. I have a number of reservations myself, from a cursory glance as the site appears to be a portal for local companies touting their business - Alison ☺ 05:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

May I inquire as to how people (such as yourself, for one) have customized their usernames? It's something I've been seeing a lot of lately and was curious. I'm sure there's docs on it somewhere that I'm too blind to find.. Th 2005 10:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You mean customise your signature? Wikipedia:Signatures tells you most of what you need to know. For more exotic signatures, there are people here who can maybe help you out. I got mine from my friend User:NikoSilver and his signature shop. I can do simple ones myself, if it's any help to you - Alison ☺ 05:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

G'Day

Hi Allison, I really love your userpage, do you mind if I take a few bits I love and make it mine too?  :) Anyway, was just wondering what you meant about the Anthony Chidiac article. It hasnt been deleted 5 times, just once, and the name then got "salted" because I reposted a completely revised article up and put a (hangon) saying that in a few days citable references to his works will be provided. If you look on my userpage, looks like both myself and others are providing such links and, like wikipedia, will only get better with time too. What I need to to give this article "birth" in wiki for others to be able to work with/on, as its my userspace and I want to work on other things now. The guy is very notable, doing things with famous people for decades, and creting change in the industry through creative ways. He is rumoured to be on the Zune project (secretly), though no media report is out yet on it so all I can note is his current status and past achievements with technologies. thoughts? Thanks for your time. T --T3Smile 12:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your note

Hi Alison, thanks for asking before acting. I don't know this editor, but I see that he's been blocked 4 times over the last month. My own experience is that being over lenient and reversing blocks often results in repeat behavior. I would highly recommend that instead of unblocking you simply reduce his block, say to 48 hours, on his promise of good behavior. Then, you can monitor his continued conduct, and if he persists in violating rules, he should be blocked for at least a week next time, with no parole. Consider that by being over lenient, you could actually be harming his own chances at reform. In any case, I leave it to your discretion. Crum375 19:50, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi there, Crum375. That sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I'll reduce the block to 48 hours, as suggested and monitor the situation. I agree that repeated unblockings are not a Good Thing as it can instil in an editor that blocks can always be reverted. Thanks again - Alison ☺ 20:02, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're welcome. Thanks again for consulting - I wish more admins could follow your lead. Crum375

Userpage protection

Hi there. I just semi-protected your userpage as it's been the subject of intense levels of vandalism. Hope you don't mind :) - Alison ☺ 21:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. I'm planning on making one for myself, by the way... eventually. Hopefully soon. Just after I deal with this one other thing... ;) Gscshoyru 21:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, a quick question -- how did you become aware of this? I don't think I've dealt that much with you in the past, etc, though I could be completely wrong. Gscshoyru 21:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Walmart article was up on WP:RPP recently and I investigated page protection. Your username was in the recent edit history and I clicked to take a look. Your userpage history speaks volumes :) - Alison ☺ 23:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

If you get a chance could you look at this Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, Counter-revolutionary is replacing 'Killed' with 'murdered' yet here he argued that 'murdered' was Pov and edited this article to 'Killed', I ask him about this on his Talk page and he is being contradictary on the issue, he even manages to have a dig at VK, who is not even involved in the discussion.

When I reverted his edit, another editor Biofoundationsoflanguage reverted it back so I ask him in his talk page why, it would appear we are supposed to edit as NPOV, but they are think they can ignore the rules of WP.--padraig 23:24, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Y'know, Padraig, I'd really love to help but I try my best to steer clear of Irish political articles as I've my own POV when it comes to certain matters and I can recognise that. Can you possible bring this matter to another admin or maybe get back to me here if you cannot? As a child, I recall Lord Mountbatten's death (and that of a local child) and have strong views on the subject - Alison ☺ 23:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Alison we all have views on issues but we are all expected to be neutral in our editing on articles, I have brought up other issues with another admin in the past few days, and they have been ignored, involving another editor and one of those mentioned above. So I decided to ask you because you seemed to be fair in your handling in the few cases I come across your input.--padraig 23:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Padraig, I've thought about it some more and took a cursory look over some of the issues and to be honest, I need to recuse myself on this one. Sorry, but I'd really rather not. Can you possibly place a request on WP:ANI so someone else will pick it up? - Alison ☺ 00:57, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am not being contradictory. I was pointing out a difference between the killing of an elderly man by terrorists (see Prince Louis and Sir Norman Stronge, bart.) and a shooting by a legitimate army at Bloody Sunday. --Counter-revolutionary 08:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

my page was deleted

and I need it back. I worked on it for over a month and wanted to publish it by aug.28, 2007. I last saw it on AugM 1st. Can you help me? It's about an R and B singer whose first release is Aug. 28th.

My email addr is lestermar@aol.com

Thank you for your support, and for the nice note on my talkpage. Please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Wikipedia project, and I'll try again in a few months! If you ever have any questions or suggestions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, --Elonka 01:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hope my report to AIV was done correctly. It's been an interesting night, having just stepped out of a dispute in which I probably should've been blocked over had it not been my honestly admitting I should be blocked. :P Anyways, sorry for the inconvenience. :) -WarthogDemon 07:09, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats

Hey, congrats on living in the states for a year now! Hope it's been a good one! Jmlk17 07:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kappa

I really don't think that the user needs to be blocked, I've responded evenly and neutrally throughout, and have explained what he/she did wrong (even though he/she accused me of meatpuppetry, lol) and what the solution would be (to have someone make a disambiguation page), but it seems the person is simply emotional, from looking through their talk page. Take the report down, no need to block them, honestly it doesn't bother me, I just erase the bad words, lol. I do appreciate you and WarthogDemon looking out for me, though! (And Hi Alison! :) ) Ariel♥Gold 07:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I knew

Oh sorry, I knew they were there somewhere, all I remembered was Jtdirl, see he's back, on and off, just checked. Keep up the good work;) GH 18:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks :) Yeah, I'd forgotted about Jtdirl - he's kinda left now. His last words were "WHo gives a fuck?", which doesn't bode well. I think User:Kwekubo might be a sysop - he definitely is on ga.wiki. Speaking of which - have you thought about editing over there as Gaeilge? - Alison ☺ 21:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Listerslashrimmer

Hi Alison, sorry to bother you again, but I have a question about banning. Listerslashrimmer recently made the most revolting case of vandalism I've ever seen on Wikipedia - see here for a comparison of before and after my reverting it. Moreover, ClueBot immediatly reverted it, but Listerslashrimmer reverted it back (at which point I reverted it back to ClueBot's version). I placed a warning on his user page, but it stikes me that this should surely be worth an outright ban, regardless of having gone through the correct number of warnings or not. Could you take a look, and let me know what you think? Cheers, TheIslander 20:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, no problem - it's just nice to see another vandal (or sock of a vandal, in this case) banned ;). Cheers! TheIslander 21:46, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
