Misplaced Pages

Civility

Removal of a personal attack is allowed when the attack is not against the person removing the comment. And using strikethrough instead of complete removal allowed people to still read what you wrote.Ferrylodge (talk) 19:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

• Its not a personal attack to call a snide and whiney complaint a snide and whiney complaint. More to the point don't you think it would have been better to discuss it with me or ask me to adjust the comment myself? Spartaz 19:58, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Perhaps it would have been better for me to speak with you about it first, but usually I find that people who make personal attacks are not very pleasant to deal with. And maybe it would have been better for you to discuss your removal of the strikethrough before you removed the strikethrough.Ferrylodge (talk) 20:00, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Well I'm generally receptive to feedback - can't speak about anyone else and I didn't see any reason to leave the strikethrough since it hadn't been discussed with me. Tell you what, I'll remove it entirely as a guesture of good faith. Spartaz 20:30, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
      • Okay, thanks. Much appreciated.Ferrylodge (talk) 20:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Merges and Redirects after Deletion Discussions

Hi. I saw your link to your new essay WP:Merges and Redirects after Deletion Discussions. I skimmed it and broadly agree. Having read and participated in the Chris Parmelee DRV, I agree that relevant guidance should be written somewhere. WP:AfD and mergers#AfD outcomes hints at the strength of the closer's statement and could/should be expanded, but a separate essay could be more comprehensive.

ANI

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

User talk:Arindamp

Hi :) Nice to see you're still around. I have taken the liberty to undo your decline, for after checking the CU logs I don't think the block was CU-based. I feel the user is right: the SPI was not related to him directly. -- Luk 13:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:

Spartaz, please remove or strike this comment from the Workshop page. The Workshop is intended for the proposal and discussion of elements to the remedy of the case, not for unfounded speculation as to the motives of parties or other users. Such comments are inflammatory and not conducive to determining a solution to an issue that is clearly very contentious to begin with. Thank you. Hersfold 21:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

• there. Happy? If not feel free to redact it further yourself I'm going to bed . Spartaz 21:46, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

about my evidence

I have finished it. I got it down to 1088 words (according to OppenOffice word count), which is still over the 1000 words limit, but clerks might decide not to touch it anyways (I notice that Abd's evidence goes to 1409 words using the same tool, and that he is cheating by linking to diffs with more evidence, lol). The tool used by clerks may give a different count, I recall a clerk explaining how he counted but I didn't think of bookmarking his explanation, such a pity.

If you put some of the sections under your name then make sure to read it first and check that you completely endorse what it says, since it will be under your own name.

Btw, I think that I found that diff you were looking for, I posted in my talk page. I have to say that reading so many long posts written by Abd almost felt like a punishment :-P My workmate asks me often to read aloud comment made by Abd and others so he can marvel at what outrageous stuff people posts in wikipedia..... --Enric Naval (talk) 08:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, I have been told by Ryan in the workshop's talk page that I can move the evidence to subpages in my userspace if it gets too big, and that arbs will read it, so I'm going to try that path for now. --Enric Naval (talk) 20:35, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Your comment on my proposals

If you think that my having previously used another name has any relevance to my proposals perhaps you would care to explain it on the appropriate talk page (mine for example). Otherwise please explain to the ArbComm why you are trying to intimidate one of the contributors while you are acting for one of the others. Arkady Renkov (talk) 11:09, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

• Its obvious that you have edited under a different name and we need to know if you are really a banned user. There is already a prohibition preventing established users from editing policy pages under alternative accounts. All I did was raise the issue and ask someone to look into it so I'd suggest you either use your main account or disclose your previous identity. Your contributions scream matured sock....

Your comment at Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abd-William_M._Connolley/Workshop

Thanks for the display of good faith. For what it's worth I'm not a sockpuppet, but feel free to go open an SPI. TotientDragooned (talk) 07:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

• Nah, the clerks can handle it I'm sure. There are enough CUs who frequent the case. Clearly you are not a new user and this isn't your first account and thanks for your own bad faith in mentioning me too. That was much appreciated. I do have to say you are a much nicer sockpuppet then the last one though. Spartaz 08:44, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Cabals

Re: your denials: Well, you wouldn't be quick to admit your cabal membership, would you? You're just trying to hide its very existence as always, but there are those who know the truth! While we're on the subject, can I please join? Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

• You are just tryng to trick em into giving the game away, :-D Spartaz 04:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Wokai

Hi Spartaz. Just created a draft at User:Euwyn/Sandbox. Would be able to help me with the next steps? Am fairly new to Misplaced Pages'ing, so apologies if I sound clueless. —Preceding undated comment added 20:15, 23 July 2009 (UTC).

Since you are generally open to feedback

Since you are generally open to feedback, you might want to reflect upon this statement. While I can understand your frustration and puerile need to lash out at Abd, it seems apparent that you meant that as a slur. If that is indeed the case then be aware that you are unfairly and insensitively denigrating not only Abd with that comment but everyone who suffers from ADHD or autism as well. If that is not the case then I apologize for the misunderstanding and would suggest that you try to be more clear in the future.

Also, I am by no means an expert here, but my five minutes of research seems to suggest that you are incorrect about ADHD even being on the Autism spectrum. How did you come to have that particular impression, if I might ask? --GoRight (talk) 02:40, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
