Rush (band)

Just to let you know, Rush (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is up for FA status. Seeing as how you are a fan, it would be nice to have you look over the article and improve it! I really should have remembered to include you when I started the peer review, but alas, my brain didn't think of you and your ridiculous poll until it was mentioned on a prod for a Rush subarticle. Cheers, and thanks for any help on the article. —BorgHunter ^ubx (talk) 04:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Galveston pics

The weather wasn't fully cooperative, but my sister's finally getting out of med school there, so I figured I needed to get my pictures while I was going regularly. I tell you, that island has really grown on me, and it kinda makes me sad that I'll be spending inordinate amounts of time visiting elsewhere over the next six years instead. — Laura Scudder ☎ 17:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

HI Kate!

User:Katefan0love Galveston; used to go there every weekend when I lived in Pasadena! Would you go look at the dispute on Bonnie and Clyde? My2cents bears a suspiscious resembalance to other folks I have known at that site, and wants to make wholesale deletions, including all mention of:

• the limited involvement of Bonnie in real life as opposed to the public perception -- he leaves out all the sourcing, and pretty much eliminates the major controversy historians have been examining the past half century!;
• the incredible horror of the ambush scene, particularly well pictured by Milner on page 147 of his book, which by POV he deletes in toto;
• In addition, he deleted all mention of the relatively new controversy about Ted Hinton posthumous revelations concerning the bargain Hamer allegedly made with Methvin's father. (and considering Hinton's reputation, such charges have to be taken seriously!).

We need an editor who knows the material - that is you! - and can fairly take over and end the dsipute. My2cents is not an editor, I don't think, and even if he is, he is making changes with no sourcing, no discussion, no historical context - and that is plainly wrong. Anyway, I thought I woudl appeal to you. By the way, he also wiped out all of your work on the Frank Hamer article, simply deleting what you did on the aftermath. And did it without discussion, or questioning the historical accuracy. I returned it to your last version. Please come and deal with this person, who, if you look at his user page, is having these problems with every article he destroys with his POV edits. old windy bear 12:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Expectancy violations theory attempted renomination

Hi, I think an obviously wrong result was reached in the first AfD (no conclusion); see talk page of this article. If you know how to renominate an article, plez rewrite the official explanation instead of leaving a message on my talk page, since I've already spent way way more time on this than it deserves. No reply neccesssary, since I'm so peeved that noone has bothered to keep such fundamental WP instructions up to date that I don't even want to discuss it any more.

Swishing us forward

Thanks for moving us forward, Katefan0. I don't mind that the swish line is in need of clarity. We can sort that out in later months according to literature and consensus.

I have made some more suggestions to reinstate the views of scientists such as Beyerstein, Dreyden, et al. If you think it is too much to handle for the whole group (ei if it is spreading the effort too thinly) then please suggest a section for us to focus on as a group. I respectfully suggest that we begin with the smallest (Dreyden). Once Greg's and Comaze's objections have all been answered again, I'm sure the others will be happy to make their improvements to the article. ATB. Camridge 05:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Katefan0^(scribble)/poll, thanks for the support at Rind et al. (1998). Normally, I don't edit war. But recently I had to wade into a cesspool of external links with sexual explicit drawing of child-adult sex. Since then, my frustration discussing this topic has grown. How do you reason with people that object to what is obvious to most people? FloNight ^talk 04:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

More wise words. : ) I made the decision after a couple of months at WP to adopt a 1RR. I agree with your idea that WP is a long term project. Eventually the community will make the right decision. I rarely do more than make a few comments and and move on. The exception is copyright violation, libel, or other legal issues.

This dispute is part of a larger debate at WP:PAW. During past months, there has been an attempt to define pedophilia using the most restrictive medical definition. And then insist that child should be used to only refer to prepubescent children on child sexual abuse related articles. This mostly happened before WP:PAW became active. I joined WP:PAW to challenge this idea. The discussion is really just starting. Your level-headed comments are very welcome. FloNight ^talk 13:58, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

locking articles

Do you guys ever lock an article when the white users and black users differ and it is the black perspective which is upheld pending further investigation, or do we always have to lock an article when the black contributors ideas are first removed from having the final say until the investigation. Just wondering. The sphinx issue wasn't resolved with compelling reason before the lock and my position is far more compelling than the other's. --Zaphnathpaaneah 06:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Please. I didn't even look closely at the different "versions," all I needed to see is that there was significant and unproductive edit warring going on with both sides claiming a consensus. I protect articles in the state in which they are in when I find them; that's always been my policy and won't change because of spurious accusations of racism. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 13:54, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello : ) I started working on the Chad "Corntassel" Smith article when Johnc1 was blocked the first time. The article subject is not familar to me, but I like fixing up biographies of living people. Since we are going with Plan B (regarding his block), I'll wait a few days then contact him. I'll leave a message on Johnc1 talk page explaining specifically the best way to add content to the Chad "Corntassel" Smith article. I don't mind helping him adjust to the Wikipedia way. Articles are usually better if they reflect two perspectives. The article started out a more a campaign ad that an encyclopedia article. We'll see if Johnc1 can provide some constructive criticism. regards, FloNight ^talk 21:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

The site at John's Website] is run by United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians members. They have about a dozen folks they are mobilizing to vandalize that article. Just to let you know to expect vandalism and postings from several ranges from these folks. They have three active folks behaving as meatpuppets to vandalize the article. I tried to reason with them today (I doubt you folks speak Cherokee but I do and tried to restrain them) to no avail. The UKB Chief is apparently using this group for POV pushing to hide the embarrassments of the prosecutions and other materials. Just to to be a little bird and let you know what's up here. They are Cherokee so they won't stop. You need to go to indefinite blocks are it will just continue. 67.169.249.44 02:04, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Abuse of the rollback facility

I'd like to draw your attention to this revert. You may not have agreed with the edit, but that isn't sufficient justification for performing a rollback, which is reserved for dealing with vandalism. That edit clearly wasn't an act of vandalism, and your use of a feature restricted to administrators serves only to further the perception that administrators constitute a class of elite editors, when the reality is that you have been issued with a 'mop and bucket' by the community, not a set of weapons to be wielded in content disputes. Please be more careful next time. Thanks. 86.136.1.31 21:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

The edit changed Declaration of Independence to Declaration of independence, which looked to me like that edit would've been breaking a wikilink. I didn't assume it was vandalism, just a newbie error. The rollback button is used to make reverting obvious vandalism (or obvious errors) easier; no point in not using it for the purpose for which it's designed. I don't revert significant content changes with my rollback button. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 22:02, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation. I disagree that it was an obvious error, however, as I was making that redirect consistent with those at Bill of Rights, Supreme Court, Electoral College, and the articles at Congress, President, Constitution etc. 86.136.1.31 22:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

It certainly seemed that way to me -- I wasn't looking over your contributions to know what else you were changing. I was doing IP changes patrol and at that time I was reverting quite a lot of vandalism; that one caught my eye amid a sea of other edits. Again, this didn't seem to me to be vandalism, just an ill-considered change. Regardless, as long as it's not breaking a wikilink I have no personal opinion about whether it should be capped or not. Please remember to assume good faith. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 22:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Beer Categories

Hi Kate. It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. The proposal has been supported by User:Syrthiss, and supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

User Triage

Hi again Kate, I'd appreciate it if you could leave a comment on this user's page regarding civility and politeness. I've done my absolute best to reign in my sarcasm since returning from the break and this user, despite seemingly popping out of nowhere (since there are no edits/contributions to any pages regarding Aiken or Paulus in the user's history), has been ridiculously rude and inflamatory. And just now he/she left the remark that I should refer to him/her as "Sir" when speaking. I'm doing my best here, but I won't tolerate being spoken to that way. - mixvio 23:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

User Mixvio

Katefan, could you please read the recent discussion on the Aiken page, and consider talking to Mixvio. He is way out on a bender or whatever - yelling and screaming and telling folks off. And if I had been a guy and Mixvio and condescendingly addressed me as "Dear" - I would certainly not have been so civil as to simply indicate my gender. There is only one person on that page that has been consistantly rude and inflamatory, and it is Mixvio. I really think that he needs to be reprimanded. 69.19.14.18 00:30, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Incidentally, from the context you can clearly see I didn't mean "dear" to be condescending. Up until that point I was trying my damnest to get along with everyone to pass a solution. The order that I refer to Triage as "Sir," however, was not an indication of his gender, it was a command implying he was in control of me and it was rude beyond measure. And as far as "yelling" goes, 6 is the queen of bold and is really in no position to criticise my usage of the triple quotes. - mixvio 01:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Request for Arbitration

I've filed a request for arbitration regarding the Paulus issue here. If it is accepted by the admins you can present your side of the dispute there. - mixvio 01:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Question about RfA

I see Mixvio asked for arbitration. What happens if the rest of us don't agree to it and he's only presenting his side? We went along with the mediation which got us nowhere and was a waste of everyone's time. Sorry to bother you but I really do not know the answer. - Maria202 03:02, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Adding to this. We'd like to carry on. Does his request obligate us to stop working on a resolution until there is a decision whether the arbitration will be accepted? Would you mind adding a comment to the "talk" page stating your understanding of what we should do? Thanks! And, BTW, wasn't it nice of mixvio to continue the argument within that request by attaching a comment to my statement? -Jmh123 14:55, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

• In re: your request, I'd be more than happy to drop it if I had reason to believe I won't have to reinstate the request in a few hours because Maria and Jmh can't get over "solicit." I feel I have gone well above and beyond reasonable to accomidate everything they've demanded and I'm tired of it. I'll point out in case you haven't noticed that they've been going around petitioning admins related to the arbitration case with flat-out lies in order to tarnish my personal character, when I specifically didn't bring the arbitration against THEM, rather the issue. I didn't want to make it a personal dispute that would result in personal penalties. Regardless, they aren't being exactly nice or friendly to me either. - mixvio 21:00, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome :-)

Talk:Islamism

Dear Katefan0,

I appreciate your involvement in the Talk:Islamism page. However, reversion is hardly the only or even the main problem here. This page has suffered from egregious violations of WP:NPA and WP:SOCK, which user(s) User:24.7.141.159 and User:MuslimsofUmreka have ignored and flagrantly violated. Further, the two reversions I made last night were based upon WP:RPA - and as you will see there are a good deal of violations which I did not erase. It’s not ideal, but I’ve pointed the relevant policies to both violators and their various alias to no avail. Additionally, User:Hrana98, acting on behalf of (to put it charitably) User:24.7.141.159, was himself deleting and altering the comments of User:67.188.110.197 which, while unusual, did not clearly constitute personal attacks.

In and of itself, there is generally no reason to revert a talk page, and I’ve not made a habit of doing so, so I’ve no problem with this rule. However, merely freezing the page or banning reverts doesn’t solve the problem. I request that if you are to be involved that you also enforce WP:NPA and the use of sock puppets to violate WP:NPA. Your consideration is appreciated.Timothy Usher 19:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear Katefan0,

I invite you to view what is going on in the etiquette section you started on Talk:Islamism, and how the user behind User:Hrana98/User:24.7.141.159, who dragged you into this to begin with, is proceeding.Timothy Usher 07:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

The 'no' of 3RR

Your points about De Gaulle are well taken but moot to me. I am officially asking you to reconsider your blunt 'no.' in light of my most recent comment and original objections to his reversions. Maybe I counted wrong, if so, then I stand corrected if you could as a more experienced editor point out how. The dispute at the 'Laissez-faire' page started when he simply deleted most of my material. This was not done in some sort of vacuum. See my User page for background. If he had requested {fact} that would of been OK and relevant for response. Thanks for looking into the situation, anyhow. - On another note, if it is true, quite an interesting history of your links to the past. Spies for Washington? Way to go! Well, the best. --Northmeister 20:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Why was my change reverted?

Hello,

Although I am a frequent user of the Wikipedia, I had never made an edit until I spotted something which was misleading, if not inaccurate, in an article about UAMS, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

The text stated: "UAMS is the largest medical school in the State of Arkansas." I changed it to read "..the only medical school..." This change was later reverted. Why? Because I did not create a user account?

Thank you.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.30.38.152 (talk • contribs) .

Pretty much. I was doing recent changes patrol through IP edits and noticed this change made by an anonymous user, without any sourcing. Often IP vandals make these sorts of changes intending to actually make the article inaccurate. This sort of "sneaky vandalism" happens very often with articles about universities -- changing statistics so as to puff up one's alma mater, so to speak. Because it was a change to say "the only" on an article about an academic institution, and since it was made without any supporting documentation (in the form of a link, etc.), as a prophylactic I reverted it. Feel free to add it back in again, though, as long as you can support it with a link! · Katefan0^[[User

Sorry About

Sorry about the protection tag thing. I did not know that an admninistrator could put it on. The other user reverted it back to the old version. I think the current version has more citations and sources and the editing should begin from that one. The article is mostly fine. Except that it needs citations for most off it. The old version was just too POV in the opening introduction. The old version I am refering too is the one before all the major changes were made too it about 4 or 5 days ago. The current version just needds to be organized better and reworded and sourcing needs to be done for about half off it. MuslimsofUmreka 21:30, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Kyaa’s “vandalism” consisted of 1) restoring dispute tags that MuslimsofUmreka continued to remove and 2) restoring an introduction that all the other editors save perhaps User:Hrana98/User:24.7.141.159 seem to agree is much better than MuslimsofUmreka’s obscurantist gibberish.

While I note the different periods of supsension, it is most unfair to draw any sort of equivalence between Kyaa and MOU’s conduct. In my view, for whatever it’s worth, Kyaa was doing this article a great service by reversing MOU’s vandalism and should be restored toute suite so we can get back to work on making this a decent article.Timothy Usher 02:37, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

They were both edit warring unproductively; I support these blocks rather than protecting the article. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 02:56, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

FYI, Chechypaw (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)'s only edit is adding text to Sex scandal about Clay Aiken. I reverted it. Going to watch this new user. Could you put him on your watch list, too. Want to nip this problem in the bud. FloNight ^talk 16:07, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I actually came over to thank Katefan for being willing to get into the morass again and helping to guide things to a fruitful conclusion, so Katefan, thanks for that. I wish I had a cat for your page. On my watchlist are several other users with limited edits and the same agenda, possibly the same individual, as well as eight different Wikipedia pages where the same topic has been introduced, almost all by a participant in the debate (most now deleted). Given the fuss, I'll stay away from reverting for awhile. Thanks to both of you. -Jmh123 17:01, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Please watch the Joe Byrd article - related to Chad Smith

JohnC1 vandalised it. I have reverted it. --Vryl
