Talkback

tb

Saw the ANI post

Putting that title on the blacklist seems to be the best idea or mentioning it to one of the admin bots around who block blatant usernames as soon as they are created (doesn't work with SUL accounts though i dont think). Since Luna's talk is protected mention to him that a range block was implemented on that editor (discussion here) last month for 2 weeks but seems not have made a difference. You know there are so many great things to do in this city and with summer approaching i know the last place i want to be is in the house - on the computer - editing wikipedia - make that vandalising wikipedia ;) 220.239.47.163 (talk) 06:45, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

You really want to know? ;) 220.239.47.163 (talk) 07:27, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Unbelievable. You really think i am the person behind the Hollback girl or whatever it is? I am trying to let you know some info. When that range block was implemented i realised that i was on the same IP range as that person. That's the only reason i wanted to let you know about this person. But if Luna or anyone wants to do another range block, thats OK of course. It won't affect me, for other reasons. Cheers 220.239.47.163 (talk) 11:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

respond to your message

i have responded to your message on my talk page.... --Cooljuno411 (talk) 06:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Edit

Would you please revert the last edit at the article? I don't like to get even close to 3RR. Squash Racket (talk) 07:52, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I will do so only because of your recent message on the talk page of the article, not because of your message here. This would fall under WP:CANVASS, which is prohibited.— Dædαlus /_Improve 07:53, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I think WP:Canvass applies to notifying specific, carefully chosen editors, not WP:ANI. Squash Racket (talk) 08:08, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought B.fever was an admin who had read about this at ANI. Squash Racket (talk) 12:00, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Internet addiction

Re your message: Sorry to hear that you've become addicted to the Internet. It's not entirely uncommon and the first step is to recognize that you've reached that point. Unfortunately, I can't offer much help because I'm not qualified to really help you with. You can look into professional help, but a first step may be to try to walk away from your computer yourself. As for requesting a block to enforce a wikibreak, that would not be done for you. Blocking is not done for wikibreaks. You can use the WikiBreak Enforcer script which can help you not login to Misplaced Pages, though really the only truly effective method is to just not use the computer. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:26, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Friends?

Giggle, i took your advice about being a contributer.The Nice Hollaback Girl (talk) 07:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC) This template must be substituted, see Template:Smile for instructions

I'll consider it, but I could be called a fool if I followed blindly into the light. I'll have to wait and see what happens before I agree of anything.— Dædαlus /_Improve 07:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, so far, so good. Let's hope it stays this way! Thanks for the note. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Help with hidden history

Re your message: From what I can tell, you tagged the article for CSD because a similar redirect was deleted through an RfD back in August. The RfD had spaces between the words, while the one you linked to did not. What did you need to know? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: I see. Everything happened back in August and nothing was created post the closure on the original RfD as far as I can tell. Therefore, I wouldn't call it disruptive. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:32, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: The RfD was still not closed at the time. Might I suggest that you not pursue this so vigorously? It's not that big of a deal. The redirects have been deleted, nothing was done post RfD closure, and everything happened months ago. There's nothing really to pursue. You're causing agitation over something that is essentially closed and done with. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your message

Why in the world should I need to explain a comment I placed on another user's talk page? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 02:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You seem to have some very strange notions about how this place operates. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 04:18, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Likewise. You wrote a comment about me. It is common courtesy to tell someone when they're being talked about. You have no reason to keep such information from me.— Dædαlus /_Improve 05:04, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

My one and only purpose in bringing the discussion to Skomorokh's attention was the fact that I was talking about him and felt he should be aware of it. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 02:54, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

RE:Troublesome Templates

Though holding grudges is wrong, or so I feel, he has the right to keep his talk page as he wants it, though it would be nice of him to make it work for the rest of us (it shows up weird for me too; I think the spacing is set to too large of a number). I'll drop him a note but I won't impose anything (I know you didn't ask me to, just saying). Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 07:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Template-ing

You seem to have done the same thing you accused me off. At any rate, it wasn't a "welcome" warning, precisely b/c they are well-versed it was upped. And if was because it can be construed as a response to uncivility, you will see, based on the template, it was uncivil. Furthermore, the template was just that, a template, with an addition more that led to a "personal message tends to work better in these situations."

Seeming the same thing happened here Lihaas (talk) 12:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page.— Dædαlus /_Improve 12:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

So here's your friendly notice for ad hominem attacks:

Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take another look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

What incident are you referring to then? I know what I was doing (and it still didn't concern. therefore in your words do not get involved when it doesn't concern you. That is WP:Stalk)

Furthermore, where are twisting the arguement to the other having to do with templates. Ofcourse it didn't start there. Why a ramdon conversation of templates come up? You brought the issue up about templates.

Read your own message and then if you "want to talk about being uncivil, you should look in a mirror." Or put the computer off,

Please stay calm and civil while commenting or presenting evidence, and do not make personal attacks. Be patient when approaching solutions to any issues. If consensus is not reached, other solutions exist to draw attention and ensure that more editors mediate or comment on the dispute.

... it'll help.

Now if you want to not resort to such ad hominem attacks, then I invite you back to debate the reasons. In the meantime, if you don't want to, then with "Harrasment" don't bring me into an uncivil discussion.

here's hoping... Lihaas has given you a cookie! Cookies promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cookie, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy munching!

Spread the goodness of cookies by adding {{subst:Cookie}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message, or eat this cookie on the giver's talk page with {{subst:munch}}!

Lihaas (talk) 13:14, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. Now, I have not made any attacks, I have not told you to stay way, so stop mis-quoting me. I said to not get involved in a situation until you completely grasp what is going on. From your comments, it is obvious you put no research into the topic at hand. The user mentioned above was talking about me behind my back, and had not alerted me to the fact. Of course, I was offended by this, as it was quite rude, and it is common courtesy here to alert those you are talking about to the fact that you are talking about them. He did no such thing, and when I asked him about it, he avoided answering. Finally an admin came in, Master of Puppets, and agreed with me on the matter. Only then did he answer my question.

If you are going to interfere, know what you are putting yourself in. The above conversation, as stated many times now, had nothing to do with templates. I ask this one, final, time. If you are going to get in involved in a matter for which you are a new party, as opposed to the original parties, then make sure that you know what you are talking about. Research every bit of information that is relevant to the subject at hand.— Dædαlus /_Improve 23:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

All this may very well be great, but i have no intention of pulling back into a slanging match (i didn't even finish reading your latest assessment). We can end this right here then.

But in response to the fact that you did not resort to attacks, I will quote this" If you want to talk about being uncivil, you should look in a mirror."

Have a good day, and happy editing. Lihaas (talk) 23:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, seems it's a bit too late for any comments. This is another case where Linhaas can choose to template whoever he wishes, but as you've noted that isn't taken warmly at all. Your message was taken in a negative manner, I feel, but I agree that it isn't the time to start digging in each others' pasts. That's my opinion, at least.

I blocked indef based on this comment. I have contacted that user for clarification. Do stand by. Daniel Case (talk) 14:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Per the FisherQueen comment on the talk page, I have unblocked. Daniel Case (talk) 17:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
