Revision as of 22:53, 17 March 2012

If I left a message on your talk page, please do not post your reply here. Reply on your talk page instead. I will be notified of your response. Click here to start a new discussion. I will reply on this page. If you like, I can post a notification on your talk page when I reply. Simply request it.

Harassment policy

Your ANI comments in the Turian thread indicated a partial misunderstanding of WP:HARASS policy.

It is long-established that posting to people's talk pages after they have requested you to stop is harassment, under the policy. Doing so in context of other abusive behavior contributes to justification to block.

It's not OK. Admins will enforce it if/when we become aware of it being violated. Notifications of noticeboard postings and admin warnings are exceptions to that - "doing business" as it were - but personal comments aren't ok after being told to stop.

Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 04:13, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Even if that were in the policy, my ANI comment would not necessarily indicate any misunderstanding. However I've read through WP:HARASS, and don't see what you've described there anyway.

Giving commands to your opponent in a conflict just isn't effective. When tempers have already flared, genuinely stopping the argument is likely not your top priority; instead you're trying to get in more shots and goad your opponent, which is exactly what a command to "stop posting on my talk page" should be viewed as. Being familiar with conflict, Malleus was fully aware of this.

I could nevertheless understand if one or both parties were too far into it at that point to be thinking at all, but in that case the discussion should've just been forcefully closed, maybe accompanied by trouts and warnings for both sides. Blocking only one party, just because they didn't heed a "don't post here anymore" comment in the depths of a conflict like that, is a superficial response to the last event without considering the whole. Both parties were being equally bullheaded.

People who want to be seen as having attempted to discontinue an exchange need to have made a genuine effort. They need to stop fighting themselves, not make faux attempts that actually encourage the opposite. Equazcion 08:43, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

More complete list of image deletions

I do not know where the discussion is continuing, so here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:PleaseStand/Sandbox2&oldid=360978677 PleaseStand 22:00, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Are these still just Jimbo's deletions or does this include all those with the "out of project scope" and "porn site" (Black Falcon's suggestion) in their summaries? Equazcion 22:05, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Here is the regex I used: /com:ps|scope|porn|cleanup/i Is that good enough? I did not look specifically for Jimbo's deletions this time, but I did retrieve the last 1000 contribs versus the last 500 since more images had been deleted since I generated the first list. PleaseStand 22:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

That sounds good enough to me. I posted this at Misplaced Pages:Village_pump_(proposals)#Examples_of_deleted_works, in case you want to add anything there. Thanks. Equazcion 22:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

ChipsFrigginDubbo (talk)

Hi there. This user has made a single post (so far) on the BMW 3 series , however given the nature of the post - vandalism - and their slightly suspect name, I thought I'd pass it onto an adminstrator. a_man_alone (talk) 17:38, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not an administrator :) but no harm done. Even if I were, all anyone can really do is wait and watch til they act again. That is, unless the username is a violation, but I'm not really even picking up on what's suspicious about it. Equazcion 20:50, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, I kind of assumed you were an admin as you frequent the Admin noticeboard. Chips Dubbo is a character from Halo - although I can only glean that from Google, as I've never played it, but friggin is considered profanity by most people - although the severity is up for debate. Administrator or not, I wasn't expecting an immediate ban, just awareness. a_man_alone (talk) 07:25, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair point

I did think that the paragraphs starting "in all cases" probably refered to both situations in the previous paragraph but meant "when blocking use a neutral summary". I think was wrong, however, and your revert of my revert was probably correct. We'll find out if KnightLago makes any more changes, I guess... --Jubilee♫clipman 23:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, in the less clear-cut cases the arbitration committee would handle the potential block, so there's no need to detail how the block should go in that situation. In general though, if you see an error like that, it's probably better to attempt to correct it rather than reverting the entire thing wholesale; or if you don't have a clear idea of how to go about that, maybe bring it up on the talk page. Equazcion 00:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. Wholesale reverting is rather extreme, I grant you, especially when the reverted edit is particularly complex for one reason or another. Talking is always better! --Jubilee♫clipman 00:10, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

The Game

What is going on is that the same editor switches IPs and continues to make edits using sources that are not reliable or like the hollywoodreporter, requires membership to access the page. The editor knows all of this from past discussions and continues to insert changes that aren't adequately and reliably sourced. Wildhartlivie (talk) 19:42, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I am editing but not switching my IP address. I saw your comment on edits I made to The Game. I explained here, http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:The_Game_(U.S._TV_series)#5.2F14_changes_i_made_to_article , my edits. I went thru the older versions and built from them.Is there a page on wikipedia directions saying what are and arent reliable sources? The hollywood reported does not need memberhsip. Thanks. 69.138.165.244 (talk) 19:47, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Here are the sources I see the IP added:

• http://www.multichannel.com/article/451489-_Game_On_For_BET.php?rssid=20527
• http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/10/14/worrying-wednesday-dawn-ostroff-im-worried/30496
• http://www.bvbuzz.com/2010/04/19/coby-bell-the-game-returning

• http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ib6c66237fa7a658de95d6d0c60e30b80

I'm able to access all of them without membership, and they seem relatively reliable to me. What specifically are your concerns with these, WHL? Equazcion 19:49, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

No, I will report the IP for violating WP:3RR, after having been directly warned not to edit it again. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:22, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

You're guilty of the same violation, WHL, and I will be sure to note that in the report you make. I'm sorry you're so unwilling to discuss this. Equazcion 20:24, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to look into it deeper. Oh, and I only reverted 3 times on that page. There was one a couple days before the three, but I stopped before I violated 3RR. I double and triple checked that I didn't go over 3. This has been a royal pain on that page for some time, but it is mostly from IPs and hard to track down to make SPI reports. I have to think that past history made the editor be so aggressive. I appreciate the apology. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:33, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for telling me about the report. I did reply there. About this : My support of this anonymous user is starting to waiver. They seem to be switching IPs very rapidly, and also seem intent on restoring their exact version, which includes grammar, spelling, and other style errors. Equazcion (talk) 20:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC) ... why is your support waivering,I am not swithcing ips. Where are the grammar, spelling, and other style errors. errors 69.138.165.244 (talk) 00:22, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello again. I see you integrated my edits. Thanks for that. That is all I wanted all this time. We all are here to contribute. I see my error in my titling. Could you make a few corrections for me. <1>In the curent verision it says Mara Brock Akil will return. This is not correct. The source supports this. Mara is working for ABC, Coby Bell is not back FT, he is a recurring character . Below is the correct information for the 'cancel and revival' section

Cancellation and revival
As The CW moved to make its schedule free of half-hour comedies, series creator Mara Brock Akil attempted to convince the network to air the series as an hour-long, single-camera series like the other shows on CW. On May 20, 2009, Entertainment Weekly announced that the series was officially cancelled.

On March 15th, 2010 AOL Black Voices reported that cable channel BET struck a deal with The Game's parent company Paramount to develop new episodes of series . Production moves from California to Atlanta, and will begin in May; with new episodes to air in the Fall. Actor Coby Bell will be only a recurring character since he has joined the California based cable USA network show Burn Notice.

On April 15th, 2010, BET announced the renewal of "The Game" at its April upfronts. Series creator and executive producer Mara Brock Akil now works for ABC 's Cougar Town as consulting producer so she will not be involved with the show; however she will get executive producer credit. Her husband Salim Akil will take over as showrunner .
Thank You. 69.138.165.244 (talk) 02:01, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

An amazing learning curve: the previous detailed post from an IP who didn't know what a "diff" was less than an hour ago. Ever seen "The Thing"? Doc9871 (talk) 02:31, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

What is your problem You and that other editor need to check your attitudes. Your brain didnt think hmm I guess she read the link Goodness 69.138.165.244 (talk) 03:20, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Was I rude? Jeez... sorry! You go from perfect English to sloppy and intentionally evasive. Goodness! Doc9871 (talk) 03:28, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes I found it rude, I feel you were being a smart sss, like you didn't think I would understand. What is sloppy and intentionally evasive about what I wrote? 69.138.165.244 (talk) 03:31, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

A serious lack of punctuation is sloppy, especially for an encyclopedia. "Being a smart-ass is a whole lot better than being a dumb-ass", my Momma always told me. Equazcion probably doesn;t want this to continue here, but you're always welcome on my talk page. Cheers :> Doc9871 (talk) 03:42, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

THANK YOU !

Thank Allah, Krishna, Vishnu, G_d, David, Jehovah and more for User:Equazcion. User:Equazcion you actually tok the time to look at the article, look at the edits, look at the links. You integrated the edits. I appreciate your work. You make Misplaced Pages worthwhile. 69.138.165.244 (talk) 03:39, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Mind your own business

What has it got to do with you? As a regular he should know better than to add unsourced original research. Warning valid, and I will add further warnings if user persists. magnius (talk) 13:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

You can warn if you like, but I wouldn't use warning templates. Sarek will likely remove them himself even if I don't, as most experienced users would. And "mind your own business" is really not a valid remark on Misplaced Pages... everyone gets into each other's business here all the time; we're encouraged to. If you want privacy, this is not the place. Equazcion 13:40, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

I didn't know there was an essay about templating the regulars. Wish I'd known about it. He did the same thing to me the other day after I'd added something with a tag and was looking for a reference, and I wasn't best pleased about it. TheRetroGuy (talk) 18:05, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

2nd ANI for iLuvrihanna24

You commented on the first ANI for this user but just a month later similar issues so i thought the 2nd ANI for him/her would interest you.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Iluvrihann24's POV-pushing, disobeyal of community opinion/practises and repeated disruption of Rated R, Rihanna discography and "Te Amo". Thank you. Lil-unique1 (talk) 17:31, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

SRQ

I have filed an SPI here, just so you know. Cheers :> Doc9871 (talk) 21:16, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me, I'm watching it now. Equazcion 21:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

No problem! It's amazingly obvious, really. (Sigh) Doc9871 (talk) 21:37, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

It does look like her. Also interesting is that the IPs who "vandalized" her talk page back then were also from a Verizon cell phone. Of course many people have Verizon cells, but still. Those vandalisms always struck me as being awfully valueless and ineffective for any of her opponents to have perpetrated. Equazcion 21:51, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

"Mmmm-hmmm", as a certain someone would say... ;> Doc9871 (talk) 22:15, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

One more thing, you said in one edit summary and then on the talk page that the IP made an edit that was identical to one SRQ made before being blocked. If you could find those diffs it would really help the sock case. I noticed they weren't in your SPI comment. Equazcion 22:34, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Not sure where you mean. Point me to it and I'll find the diffs... Doc9871 (talk) 22:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Oops, looks like I confused you with DocOfSoc. My bad. I was close, anyway :) Equazcion 22:52, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Heee heee! I notified her especially; she's put up with a lot from SRQ over the years... Doc9871 (talk) 22:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I tried looking for things and failed miserably. However, I did note that she clearly stated that she used Verizon when her rollback was removed back in January. That is a bit of a duck, afaik. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:56, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

It never even dawned on me that she was her own bigot to the postings on her own page. Gosh, all the lectures she gave about those postings too. I wonder if she really had email sent to her or if she sent that to herself too? I hope this get stopped quickly. I know she used her cell phone to rollback two editors on my talk page. This was brought to AN/i and she said it was an accident and was believed. I never understood though how you could have an accident like that twice since the two rollbacks were something like two hours apart. I'll be watching the SPI too. If I think of anything I'll add it there. Doc of Soc is the one who thought of who she was first from what I can tell so I think her adding the dif that triggered her suspecisions would be useful to the report. --CrohnieGal 11:37, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the code fixes, E! I added this, btw - maybe there'll be a response at the SPI... but I doubt it. Cheers :> Doc9871 (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for notifying the user, I neglected to do that when adding them to the SPI. I eagerly await their comments. Equazcion 23:00, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Good question. If it isn't Rosemead, Temple City, or Montebello, which is it? Man, this is getting weirder by the minute. Oh, the cowboy responded in typical sock fashion, I'm sure you saw... Doc9871 (talk) 01:41, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I saw yeah. It would be good if DocOfSoc were a bit more specific when commenting on this. I saw your added evidence too, was impressed with the work you did finding those similar phrases. I knew this user sounded like SRQ but was too lazy to actually go finding similar text. Thanks for doing that, it'll help the case. Equazcion 02:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Anytime! But, you know I didn't do it for me or you; but rather for the "good of Misplaced Pages in general" (heehee). Cheers ;> Doc9871 (talk) 02:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

BTW - It's interesting that SRQ didn't actually "read up" on edit warring until May 19 when the term was mentioned way back on May 6. All the while engaging in it! It's amazing how quickly some can pick up policy (or never could)... ;> Doc9871 (talk) 03:24, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Any idea how long these things take to process? Is there a way to "speed it up"? It's my very first SPI, and I'm 100% positive it's SRQ. The suspense is killing me... ;> Doc9871 (talk) 00:55, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

They notoriously take a while. There aren't enough checkusers available to handle all the cases in a "timely" fashion, which is why they're actually in the process of electing more of them right now. Til then, we might be waiting a few days, unfortunately. If SRQ becomes more of an immediate problem that semi-protection doesn't cure, you can make an ANI report and have something done in the interim, perhaps. Equazcion 01:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Cool! Thanks, Equazcion :> Doc9871 (talk) 01:49, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

No problem :) Equazcion 02:12, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Nice! No response from the accused yet... I (for one) am totally shocked... ;> Doc9871 (talk) 04:54, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

TY!

Tbsdy thing on ANI

Advice only, certainly not telling you to do anything: As someone else on the enemies list, I'd be inclined to leave it alone, and remove your ANI post. It's not gonna show up on any kind of google search on your name, because your name is piped; he's lost credibility here, so I'm not concerned I'm on his enemies list anyway, no one is going to modify their behavior towards me because of it; I'm pleased to be in the same company as others on that list; and I'm more than happy to trade being listed on an enemies list in an off the beaten path talk page for his non-participation here. If you ignore him, he may go away. if you don't, he probably won't. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:09, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not exactly embarrassed by it either. I guess I have an ulterior motive, which is to point out the unchanging behavior, to an audience wider than merely his talk page watchers, should the user decide to come back. I find it's usually better to make a record of having noticed these things for the future. Equazcion 17:18, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

OK. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

All should drop the Tbsdy thing. I share concerns re recent stuff, but I'm old-time here, as is he. He's done a lot of good here, more than most. Show some respect for that. Jack Merridew 02:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not big on that way of thinking. Maybe he did a lot of good, but I don't think that should excuse future indiscretions. Perhaps some leeway, but clear and repeated violations shouldn't be overlooked due to a good reputation. Equazcion 02:33, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps you misunderstood me; I'm not at all keen on what I've seen from him recently. I'm not excusing anything. But everyone should stop poking him. I'm not specifically targeting the above comments or any specific ones elsewhere. Just sayin' that it's time to drop it. If shite continues, it's a different story. Jack Merridew 02:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I guess I did misunderstand you then. I'm not sure which poking you're referring to; maybe giano's comments do qualify though, but I was never too thrilled with his behavior either. Equazcion 02:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

All of it. Re: Giano, we do differ. Jack Merridew 03:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Why did you move a page based on a "course" into the MoS?

Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my talk page. Actually, the vandal was right, there was indeed further vandalsim to that article, so I fixed that too. Those darned kids LOL. Seaphoto 15:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

No problem :) Equazcion 15:57, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for reverting this nonsense message off my talk page. No good deed, eh? ;) Pinkadelica 06:34, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

No problem :) Equazcion 14:15, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Is and was

Hello... I noticed your edit summary at the FlashForward TV article. FYI, the rationale is that the creative work continues to exist, even if there are no new episodes being produced. (You can still watch the series, be it in reruns, syndication, or on DVD etc.) We would also not write that Gone with the Wind "was" a film, or War and Peace "was" a book. Hope this helps. --Ckatz_spy 05:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I kind of disagree with it though. It seems excessively pedantic even for an encyclopedia. When a series is over, it's generally referred to in the past tense, despite the fact that it technically still "exists". In fact I'd venture a guess that if there is an encyclopedia of TV series somewhere, they refer to them in the past tense. I don't care enough to challenge it though. But thanks again. Equazcion 07:53, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Is She Back?

Please checkout the Ryan Seacrest article. I spent several hours reorganizing, and categorizing the article, only to have it reverted. Input please. Shalom! DocOfSoc (talk) 21:35, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Talkback please. DocOfSoc (talk) 21:38, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure. I'm much more familiar with SRQ's discussion style than I am with her editing style. It doesn't look like you were entirely reverted exactly... I'm not sure exactly what was done, but comparing the version just before your edits with the IP's edit shows differences. Equazcion 21:59, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

"Our" report, Equazcion? Uh oh; maybe she was right after all... (chuckle) ;> Doc9871 (talk) 19:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Excellent evidence, Equazcion! I'm glad you found the "Find-A-Grave" thing; I couldn't for the life of me. The report is much better now (and can you believe there was a response at the SPI?). Hopefully this will get processed soon. Cheers, and thanks again! Doc9871 (talk) 21:29, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, and yeah I hope it gets looked at soon too. Equazcion 21:36, 1 Jun 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the boxes at "Molly Bee". I have yet to learn that skill. Shalom! DocOfSoc (talk) 03:40, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

No problem :) Equazcion 04:47, 2 Jun 2010 (UTC)

Should we remove it until she can explain it? It doesn't fit in with the rest of the report... Doc9871 (talk) 18:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I think so. I just removed it. If this was a mistake I'd also like to remove the comments pertaining to it, but I'll wait for DocOfSoc to get back to us first. Equazcion 18:37, 2 Jun 2010 (UTC)

I think Luke is going to check on the SPI case. We are conversing on my talk page here if you would like to add anything. --CrohnieGal 20:32, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I hope we find which of the IPs were deemed unrelated; because that was clearly her point by switching so much. A fiendish tactic used only by banned or indefinitely blocked editors bent on socking (for whatever twisted reason). I'll do what research I can when asked, and you have also done a very great job. We both know it's her... it just is. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be "hitting the save button under the edit summary" right now... ;> Doc9871 (talk) 08:02, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Good work all around on this. I'd like to see the second account blocked and if possible a range block on the IP's. If you look at the history Doc you will see that Luke had listed the ones in common and then changed the format. From memory, the 70 IP's were her and the 90's. I put a comment at the case about the blocking of these. I think a clerk comes around and finishes up the clean up of marking accounts, sometimes they are administrators so they also finish the blocking and comment is made about duck. I think whoever comes to close the case will say or do something, that is if they see the new comments we all made about this. I didn't know if we were allowed to comment down by where Luke made his comments but maybe a short note to read the last group of messages are allowed? Equazcion, do you know if we can leave a note so that they read the rest of our concerns prior to closing it and archiving? Thanks all, --CrohnieGal 09:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

People can be surprisingly sticklerish about formatting; I'd keep out of the clerks' section myself. I'm sure whoever comes by to close the case will read the entire thing anyway, even the end. No need to remind them to read any particular part, as far as I'd figure. Equazcion 09:42, 4 Jun 2010 (UTC)

I agree so instead I went to the source and talked with Luke about things. He has responded at my talk page and at the SPI page. He blocked the second account and suggested we take the rest of it to AN/i for discussion. Take a look at the SPI case. My talk page is pretty much a duplicate and about some other things we were talking about. Now the question is, who's up to taking it to AN/i? I hate that board to be honest but... I'm going to be leaving here soon so if I get chosen to take it to AN/i it will have to be at a later time. Thanks, --CrohnieGal 15:06, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I think Luke is mistaken, and taking this to ANI will only get us a barrage of comments about how we should just let it get handled at SPI. I was (and still am) under the impression that checkuser isn't the end of an SPI like this, and that ANI isn't where DUCK is determined. That's why we have SPI in the first place. It's not just a place to request checkusers. ANI isn't the venue for a sockpuppet investigation. If/when the SPI determines that it's SRQ, the corrective measure could then be determined at ANI. If admins are overlooking the SPI report for some reason now that checkuser is completed, mistakenly thinking everything is resolved, then we'll just have to keep contacting other admins until someone does handle this correctly. We could maybe even make an ANI posting just as an advertisement that this case needs eyes. Equazcion 17:12, 4 Jun 2010 (UTC)

Legumes

I think that reverting or conventionally deleting the material is sufficient. I've watch-listed the page and warned the IP. It looks like he's more interested in getting a reaction than in building the encyclopedia. WP:DENY.   Will Beback  talk  09:03, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Got it. Thanks for your attention on this. Equazcion 09:09, 3 Jun 2010 (UTC)

Notify SRQ

David Fishof

Greetings

Hi there. Although you've been registered here a while, I thought I'd welcome you nonetheless. Thanks for your work on the Rock n' Roll Fantasy Camp article, and congrats on launching David Fishof, which I see you've been working on for a while.

A couple of pointers, though:

Foremost, you seem to have a pretty focused topic of interest here, which is the fantasy camp and its founder. While that's generally fine, it does seem rather obvious that you either are this person, or work for him, or otherwise have his interests in mind when editing. Misplaced Pages has rules about conflict of interest and using Misplaced Pages to promote a business. Although this topic has been your main focus I'd advise stepping back from it and letting neutral parties revise your work, to make sure it isn't seen as spam.

Also, you had your user page redirected to an article. That's generally not allowed, so I've reverted it, and placed a link on your page instead.

Let me know if you have any questions about this, or about anything else. You can reply right here below this message, or on my talk page. Hope to see you around! Equazcion (talk) 15:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Dear Equazcion,

Sorry to direct a message to you on your personal talk page, but I left my response on my talk page where you first contacted me and on the talk page of the article, but some days have passed with no response, so as you stated in your letter, I am contacting you here.

Thank you for your expertise in editing my page. Taking into consideration that the following changes have been made:

(cur | prev) 20:50, 28 May 2010 Equazcion (talk | contribs) (5,961 bytes) (edited heavily to remove promotional language/content, misc CE, merged very short sections, removed IMDb and Misplaced Pages as invalid refs per WP:RS, rm "cultural ref" (youtube vid), rm non-existent image) (undo) (cur | prev) 20:26, 28 May 2010 Equazcion (talk | contribs) (8,078 bytes) (→Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp: no need for this list here, it's in the main article. also copy edited especially for less promotional language) (undo)

is it now possible to have the box removed from the page that states: "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Misplaced Pages's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page."?

You advised stepping back from it and letting neutral parties revise my work which I have thankfully done. Glad you have taken an interest as a drummer! Thanks again for all your hard work! Hope to see you around too!

I'm somewhat inactive on Misplaced Pages right now. From what I remember, I left the tag on David Fishof because you did seem to continue editing that article even after you said you'd step back, even reversing some of my edits made in the interest of neutralizing the language. I'd like someone else to take a look at the situation before removing the tags. You might try posting a message at WP:COIN to get input. Equazcion 04:49, 30 Jun 2010 (UTC)

I just came across the talk page of the Venus project article. I gotta say I admire your patience with those editors. Your messages never lost the cool and respectful tone, and you presented your arguments clearly time and again, despite repeated comments that IMHO seem like attempts at wikilawyering. I would give you a barnstar if I was used to that and knew where to find the right one. As I don't, accept my kudos and admiration. Cheers, Waldir 22:31, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Kudos are more than enough, no barnstar needed :) Thanks. For an argumentative feller like myself it's always a nice little ego boost when someone says I argued well. Equazcion 04:49, 30 Jun 2010 (UTC)

WP:Misplaced Pages Toolbar

So I figured out how to get the toolbar to work in Firefox 4. My question for you is, can you either transfer the ownership to me, or give me developer access? I figure this way those that do have it installed will automatically receive the update, and there won't be multiple listings for Misplaced Pages Toolbars in the addon directory. I'll obviously credit you however you like for creating it. Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 02:49, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Question about User Watch

Hello Sir/Lady:

I was wondering how I can add a user box to my page that would tell me, and others, how many people are watching me. I see that you have created such a user box but I'm not certain how to create one for myself. Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Bill the Cat 7 (talk) 02:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

The box is placed using {{user:Equazcion/User watched|75}}, where "75" is replaced with the number of users watching you. As you can see the number needs to be typed in and updated manually, since there's no mechanism in the wiki software to do it automatically yet. To check how many people are watching you, you would go to your user page's history, then click the "number of watchers" link near the top. Unfortunately though, the number of users won't show unless there are over 30, and I see you haven't reached that threshold yet. You can make your own educated guess in the meantime though. No one polices the accuracy of these things. :) Equazcion 02:35, 2 Jun 2011 (UTC)

Cool! Thank you very much for your help. Bill the Cat 7 (talk) 15:38, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Did I get a little overzealous?

I've always been loathe to edit the ecig article too heavily, but I looked at it recently and felt like it was filled with weasel words and the like and not encyclopedic enough. I noticed that you edited it a lot of it back. I don't do a lot of work on here, so I'm not the most qualified person to judge exactly what makes an article less encyclopedic. I just wanted to ask what your thoughts are and the reasoning on your changes so I can be more up to date on editorial policy and style guidelines. Did you change everything back that I edited? Or was it just some portions? Thanks. Vnarfhuhwef (talk) 22:01, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

I hadn't looked at where the changes came from at the time, but I see now that you're the one who removed all the "often" and "some" speak from the intro, which I later returned. I believe I did revert the entire intro, though I don't think I touched the rest of the article, in case you made other changes there.

You weren't overzealous, no need to apologize or anything, I'm not in charge of the article. It's just that qualifiers (some, often, mainly) are not always weasel words. In this case the ones present in the intro are necessary, since electronic cigarettes for example don't always deliver nicotine, are not always portable, sizes don't vary ONLY based on battery size, etc. So it's necessary (in my humble opinion) to add qualifiers that indicate we're saying what the case is generally, rather than across the board, as electronic cigarette designs are so prolific that no description could definitively encompass them all accurately.

Aside from that, there were other changes that I felt lowered the quality of the writing and sometimes introduced grammatical errors. Aside from accuracy, articles also strive to be artistically written (for lack of a better word). Of course that's a subjective judgment and my opinion is no better than yours, so wording changes could be discussed on the article's talk page if you feel strongly that your changes are necessary. Equazcion 22:27, 8 Nov 2011 (UTC)

That's a good point. I guess what I did was just try to completely sterilize everything. You're right that there should be some style to the articles. My brain just doesn't operate that way when I'm doing strict editing. I don't feel especially strongly enough to discuss it on the page itself. I just wanted some insight from someone with more experience than me.

Though it's funny that we both edited it because we each thought that the quality of the article was lowered. Maybe I'll look at it again eventually with all of the above in mind. That particular article is one of those that I have on my watchlist that I always think in the back of my mind, "this could be much better somehow", but I haven't figured out how yet.Vnarfhuhwef (talk) 22:53, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Holography page - modification

I am proposing some relatively minor changes to the 'How holography works' pages, and would like your opinion - see talk:Holography page. Epzcaw (talk) 16:48, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Which section on the talk page? Equazcion 01:15, 5 Feb 2012 (UTC)

Sorry - should have made that clear. It is in the Section called 'Revamp'. I guess I should have added it at the bottom. This is what I said just to save you time:

I think the 'How holography works' section needs a further few amendments.

The requirements for a reference beam should be mentioned at the beginning

It should be made clear that the complicated arrangement of multiple mirrors and beams-splitters is not necessary for making a hologram - a point made by 71.218.130.13 in the disucssion unded the heading 'Hologram Kit'.

I have created a modified version at user:epzcaw and would welcome comments.

Feeling overwhelmed and need to take a break

Hello Equazcion, I would like to write a essay response to what you wrote to me on the ows talk page here where you said:

How dynamic or static an article has been isn't really of consequence. Editors sometimes get excessively attached to articles, feel it's their "duty" to maintain them, and therefore think they need to serve as gatekeepers so as to lessen their burden in the future. Content doesn't need to be agreed upon beforehand -- the nature of a wiki is that we all edit the live content, rather than craft it on the talk page first. This is the case no matter how "dynamic" the article is. If you feel overwhelmed by how often it changes, take a break. But don't make up new rules.

In the 2nd sentence, are you referring to me or Gandy (or someone else)? 완젬스 (talk) 10:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

I was referring to Gandy, but also to your specific interpretation of Gandy's stance, where you said too much change "creates" too much work for her and "there has to be some sense of sanity". The only way frequent changes would create work for an editor is if that editor felt a little too responsible for an article's stability, and I feel it's improper to fend off bold edits so as to "lower their workload", so to speak. It's important to remember that even when someone cares about an article, they should also remain vigilante in being accepting of bold changes rather than developing a policeman-like attitude to keep the article "stable" or "sane". Equazcion 10:51, 10 Mar 2012 (UTC)

Point taken, let's just focus on the 2nd sentence only, and let me say that through like-minded editors working alongside each other, a "pact" was implicitly enacted that no hijacking editor should cause 2 or more in-pact editors to devote >= 51% of their time working on stuff they would rather not work on. For example, amadscientist's merge proposal was a huge waste of time and if I spent 30 minutes getting wasted into pointless discussions to "fend off bold edits" and as a result only have 15 minutes to improve parts of the article I think needs attention, then 66% of my time was wasted.

This next example may not resonate with you, but I'll tell it anyway. Back when the article was so out of shape, there were literally easy grammar errors & nonsensical corrections which we were unable to work on, because every day there are "bold edits we must overturn through concensus" which became routinized and systematic.

Now here is my remedy to solve the problem: use the talk page any time we can stave off an edit war. Although there are some editors whose recalcitrance & staunch fervor in WP:BRD strikes me as possible mental illness, and some editors who argue the right to "edit freely" or whatever floats their boat, I can vouch for Gandy & myself personally as always fair communicators. Simply put, the way to resolve the problem is to reach consensus on the talk page.

To change topics, can I ask if sentence 3 is a straw man? (I personally do not find Gandy or myself ever advocating such an easily denounced argument؟) 완젬스 (talk) 11:46, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

What you're advocating here, albeit in a more long-winded way, still constitutes the same problem. If an edit war starts merely because a new change was boldly implemented, that isn't a good reason to require a demonstrated consensus on the talk page. Reverts should occur if an editor feels the content shouldn't be there, rather than merely because they think someone might have a problem with it being there so it "should" be discussed first. With that in mind, no, my third sentence wasn't a strawman argument -- it is a restatement of what I feel you're advocating, which if you're doing it unintentionally, I feel needs to be pointed out. The talk page isn't for discussing every content addition; that's only necessary when there is actually controversial content to discuss. Equazcion 12:00, 10 Mar 2012 (UTC)

I see we're making some progress. If I made you feel that I'm advocating that, let me just flatly say I don't. With that said, I can see how my explanation seems like I'm sympathetic or in favor of what I've observed. But, that's all it is--just my post-hoc analysis--looking back and describing patterns that weren't specified a priori. It's my position that WP:Consensus trumps all rules, and can be used to make unpopular judgment calls on an article which attracts WP:Owners who Gandy & I have faced our fair share in the past. If I can be criticized as an editor, it's my Npov or Coi issues, not these issues. Let me also welcome you to the article, and I'm optimistic that we will be able to work together amicably, as you've been a great host to me on your talk page. Thanks, 완젬스 (talk) 12:38, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

If you're not advocating what I think you're advocating, could you explain this edit? Your edit summary states that you were cutting it down, but didn't state the reason. Equazcion 12:55, 10 Mar 2012 (UTC)

It's stuff which could be chopped & cropped to the reaction article. It's 4 paragraphs now, and it should only be 2 paragraphs & contain a much better summary than it currently stands. However, I'm fine with NorthAmerica who reverted me and I'll let it stay for at least 1 week. The "zuccotti park occupation" section is 10 paragraphs, and way too long. Yesterday I did this edit but after two tries, I'll start trimming the article somewhere else. I'm much more in the "BRD crowd" than you give me credit for. ;-) 완젬스 (talk) 13:04, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

What do you say let's tackle something together

Let's take on a project of your choosing on improving/shortening any of the various occupy articles. I'm game for it if you're feeling readiness to get some sweeping work done anywhere it's needed (at your choosing, ows related). 완젬스 (talk) 13:06, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

I disagree with cutting down articles or sections just for the sake of making them shorter, so I can't help you there. If you have an idea for crafting a better summary (or article, section, etc) then great; ditto if you feel there are specific reasons particular content doesn't belong. I'm not sure where your two-paragraph suggested length comes from; craft the content first so that it constitutes a good summary, and whatever length it ends up being is fine. I see you're acclimated to thinking in terms of lengths and percentages, but quality of content should be the first concern. Equazcion 13:15, 10 Mar 2012 (UTC)

Tell me a little bit about yourself as an editor. I have 3 main questions: What areas of the occupy wall street article need the most improvement? What other "occupy articles" do you want to improve the most this month? What does the occupy movement mean to you personally? Were you displaced from your home by mortgage or are you affected adversely by the economy (sorry if too personal, discretion is up to you.) Also, what is its message, in your opinion (and not necessarily supported by reliable sources) and how well does it resonate? Has the movement lost a lot of momentum to you personally? Thanks for our interactions today--I'm fascinated by your ability to not get upset at the article talk page while having a separate & unrelated discussion here, without letting the tension affect you here. You must be an INTJ personality, and my first impression is that you're in the upper quartile of editors I've experienced. You just leave me hoping that you're satisfactorily pro-OWS! 완젬스 (talk) 14:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

I don't like to state my political leanings here, as it takes focus away from accuracy and opens the door for people to assess each other's edits in a less objective way. Adding a pro-OWS statement into the OWS article, for example, can take on new meaning when the editor has advertised themselves to be pro-OWS. Such things don't matter. I want to help make accurate and unbiased information available to anyone looking for it, while hopefully presenting it in a well-written way, and that's all anyone should be concerned with here as far as my motivations go.

I also don't (generally) view editing as a project, but make improvements whenever I happen to come across something that I feel I can contribute improvement to. Equazcion 14:42, 10 Mar 2012 (UTC)

Stratfor leaks

woops...caught it from dyk dint know a discussion took pace ;P(Lihaas (talk) 12:42, 14 March 2012 (UTC)).

Media Response

Five days into the protest, Keith Olbermann criticized the initial media response for failing to adequately cover the protests. The protests began on Saturday, September 17. The following Wednesday, The New York Observer reported on the nascent protests in Zuccotti Park. On Friday, September 23, Ginia Bellafante panned the movement in The New York Times. Joanna Weiss of The Boston Globe found it difficult to take the protests seriously, criticizing Occupy Wall Street for its "circus" atmosphere."

http://en.wikipedia.org/Reactions_to_Occupy_Wall_Street#Media_response

See the article talk page. Equazcion 20:49, 17 Mar 2012 (UTC)

It's already been covered on the media responses on the split page. To include Olbermann hoists his significance somehow. Can you tell me what you see as so significant? (he implies there was a media conspiracy not to cover the occupy movement, which was before there was any journalism stories to compare to)완젬스 (talk) 20:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Too many edit conflicts

Can I ask a simple question here? Are you for or against the chart: 완젬스 (talk) 22:34, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

(because there are 2 issues--the chart & infobox being 1 of them, and the other being the paragraph which was re-added here) 완젬스 (talk) 22:35, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

No, you may not ask. I'm not interested in any of your requests for clarification on my personal opinions, as I attempted to tell you politely, and repeatedly, before. You would do well to argue points logically regardless of who makes them and whether or not they've demonstrated an allied status with you. Equazcion 22:40, 17 Mar 2012 (UTC)

I'm not asking about the blackout question. I'm trying to ask if you are for or against the chart, because there are so many edit conflicts on the ows talk page. 완젬스 (talk) 22:41, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I know what you're asking, and I answered you. Equazcion 22:46, 17 Mar 2012 (UTC)

(ec)see here there are 30 edits in 41 minutes. I am trying to prevent more confusion because two of your comments seem to be ambiguous if we're all on the same page here. 완젬스 (talk) 22:47, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Can you only participate in a discussion if you first divide everyone into teams? What if I'm not for or against anything, but I want to discuss the merit of content with an open mind, hoping to arrive at an unbiased conclusion? You need to stop thinking in black & white. Equazcion 22:52, 17 Mar 2012 (UTC)

Understood, I just wanted to point out the two separate things. Sorry for the frustration today--I just want to make the article cleaner and I think from our earlier discussion here on your talk page, I'm a deletionist and want the article considerably shorter. I'm also reducing the number of occupy articles (see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Occupy_movement_in_the_United_States#Occupy_Berkeley_merge_proposal_into_Occupy_Cal ) so don't misinterpret my desire to avoid further edit conflicts as me badgering you. I have had about 15 edit conflicts during those 30 minutes, and I just wanted to keep the discussion over there more clean & easy to follow, which is why I wanted to clarify what I thought was your misinterpretation of the two over-arching discussions between becritical and artist. 완젬스 (talk) 22:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
