Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 15:54, 13 May 2007

User:Ali-oops/Bar Start a new talk topic.

My user and talk pages attract a lot of vandals - it kinda goes with the job. If you have reverted vandalism here, please understand that while I really appreciate you doing this, I'll probably not be able to reply to you for a whole bunch of reasons. But I do appreciate it!

Soliciting advice

Hi, again. Since I seem to see you everywhere, I assume you must have the omniscience that goes along with omnipresence, and so I'd like to seek your advice on something. I got into a tiff with an Admin last night who seemed to take my speedydelete tag on an article for an indie band he liked personally. I might not be examining this with sufficient neutrality of perspective, so I'd like to solicit a third opinion. My questions are, basically, who was the asshole here?: User talk:Dynaflow#The Western Investor .E2.80.93 speedy delete. Did we both botch the discussion? How should we have handled it? Thanks. --Dynaflow 19:59, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I've finished centralizing the conversation on my Talk page so you don't have to chase timestamps to find everything said. That should include all of the exchange except for our blurbs on the AfD page here: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Western Investor. Again, thanks. --Dynaflow 20:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Military of Albania

Frankly it don’t concern me what you appreciate just like it should not bother you and you need to go very those articles again and again and again until you understand whose in the worn, also a good think would be to look at the sources those guys presented and read what they say and then read their figures, you would agree that the source does not match at all with the figures they presented, ohh and this one is a killer their strongest source is I send an email to the Albanian MOD and they told me what they have, which is pure out lie because they never reveal what they have and he did not present any proof, I think I would know a little more about my won country that I was born and lived in all my life than a guy that uses propaganda from the internet as proof.

There is your answer I would appreciate if you don’t bother me anymore. Gon4z 17:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

• I've been through those article, on request of another editor you've allegedly been harassing. You don't own the article, and you need to provide reliable and verifiable sources. It doesn't matter if Alfred Moisiu personally told you - it needs to be cited properly. You've been little other than rude and incivil to User:MrMacMan to-date and now you're continuing it with me, first by ignoring and blanking my request, then by posting this here when I restored my comment. - Alison ☺ 17:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for your attention at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_page_protection concerning the Keith Olbermann page. I wasn't sure where to put that. R. Baley 20:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

• No problem - Alison ☺ 20:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

About the decline of the semi-protection request on List of Courage the Cowardly Dog episodes

The user who is adding the sourceless information is on a dynamic IP address, so the user's IP address is constantly changing. I had formerly believed that this user had been warned on various occasions, but reviewing the history of the article, I can now see that this is not true. I shall attempt to warn the user, but I am unsure of how successful my attempts will be. Because this user is on a dynamic IP address, it will be difficult to intervene if the user ignores all such warnings. It is likely that these messages will never be received in the first place because the user likely disconnects from the internet before checking Misplaced Pages again, and thus the user's IP address will change and the comment won't be received. However, I do agree that this situation will be better solved if use of semi-protection is not necessary. ~ Oni Lukos _ct 21:48, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - see how it goes, so. It's a marginal case - Alison ☺ 23:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Heh

Talkpage full of warm fuzzies? Me adds another one. – Riana_ऋ 01:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

• Awww - thank you! One can never have too many warm fuzzies on one's talk page, I always say. - Alison ☺ 04:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Ds west

I'm immensely upset at this user for deleting my recent article. I had not finished filling out the article when it was prematurely deleted and I have not been allowed to convey my true feeling on the subject of "dw west". I hope that, before mindlessly deleteing sometihng you do not personally find important, you take the time to read the content and truly understand what I am attempting to represent and convey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desty44 (talk • contribs)

Our School IP address

Hi Alison,

I've just noticed you've banned our school IP address (217.65.158.131) for abuse. Unfortunately I feel the need to request this be made permanent. We have 2000 students and are unable to keep an eye one them 24/7. This sort of thing happens all to often.

• Thanks, Simon. It was just about up today. I've extended it to a 1-month block given this history of that account. Note that only anonymous users are blocked and any students that create accounts outside of school should be free to edit as before - Alison ☺ 18:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the complimets!

Sincere thanks!

L. Ron Hubbard

Hi. Please unprotect. Almost 3 weeks now. Thanks. --Justanother 17:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

• Hi there. Far as I can see, this is yet unresolved. I've left a message on the talk page asking folks for clarification on whether compromise/consensus has been reached on the whole DD-214 thing - Alison ☺ 18:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

 Done - good luck :) - Alison ☺ 17:10, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

quote help translation.

I was hoping that you could help me with a translation.

"'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. "

and I've tried translating it into Gaelic

is fearr gur ghráis is gur chaillis ná gan grá riamh.

can you help? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.177.157.135 (talk) 17:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

• Sounds about right, though it's a transliteration. There's probably a better native phrase out there somewheres. I'm kinda hearing, "Is fearr a bheith i ngrá 's a chailleadh, ná gan bheith in ngrá ar bith". I'm speaking it out here and it sounds stilted. A Gaillimh, a chara, an bhfuil aon fhios agatsa? - Alison ☺ 18:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you for your help. I am sorry, but I don't know about Gallway.

Boink!

You've got mail, Allie girl! :) Love you, Phaedriel - 21:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

• OOoh - let me check. Wow ... long. I'll reply tomorrow :) Dozing on the sofa here ... - Alison ☺ 02:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

And another one!

		I know you have one of these above, but I was just about to post to Ryan's talk page and saw your new version of Indefinately blocked. Gave me a laugh and fantastic idea, I don't mind designing the template if you want. 21:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

• Heh - seems just about everyone spotted that. *blush*. Re. template - go for it. That should be a total scream :) Just don't expect me to provide an icon :-D - Alison ☺ 02:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Danny Phantom protection

Isn't an edit war enough reason to protect an article? Last I checked editors generally fully protected articles to stop edit wars. Am I wrong? --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 02:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

• No, you're not wrong. However, I declined protection due to not enough activity (which is true). You are in a content dispute with an anon editor and both of you are in dialog, it would appear. Also, you reverted to your "correct" revision and then immediately took it to WP:RPP, which was kinda naughty. Page protection is used to stop edit warring, not to endorse or 'freeze' the 'proper' revision. - Alison ☺ 02:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC) (thanks for the revert, BTW)

If you think my version is incorrect, feel free to revert to the other one and protect. I personally don't care which version is kept. My version is supported by information on the LOE and that is the only reason I reverted the edits to begin with. I just thought it should be protected till the edit war is solved, especially with the anon being uncivil. (No problem with the revert) --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 02:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't want to revert to any version. That's not the purpose. What I'm saying is it's not (yet, at least) warranted IMO. If the anon editor is being uncivil, try to warn them, but I note that they're trying to communicate on your talk page as to their reasons. Protection is a last resort and we're just not at that point yet. Honest! - Alison ☺ 02:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and thanks again :) - Alison ☺ 02:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Alright then. I'll continue to try and settle this through the talk pages. Sorry to bother you. And no problem again :) --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 02:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

If it gets really bad, just request again and point out that it's got worse since my decline. And if the other editor gets nasty or looks like tripping over 3RR, do the warn/report thing - Alison ☺ 02:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok I will :) --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 02:59, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

wp:rs

I've added a suggestion via wp:brd - to WP:RS discussion. I don't know if you think its relevant/necessary or not, but I'm interested in your input. Thanks. Lsi john 04:02, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

New account

Hi Alison, I thought I'd better tell you that I am User:Tellyaddict, I know you may think this a hoax but I thought I'd should tell you as I said at AN/I that I was previously known as Tellyaddict, I think the people deserve to know. If you dont believe me (which I'm sure you will believe me) I will log in as Tellyaddict and make an edit but if you did want to see you would have to unblock the account after I asked for it to be indefinitely blocked. Thank you and I hope to see you around. Happy editing! The Sunshine Man 13:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
