Signature

First off, I'm not picking on you, but Exploding boy was right. A recent request for comment on an unrelated user showed consensus that a signature must link back to either your user page, your talk page, or your user contributions. I know things have been rough for you around here, so please understand that this is only me attempting to explain what the community has decided our norms should be. AniMate 02:19, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks dude, but WP:SIG is not policy. From my understanding it's a basic guideline. Correct me if I'm wrong but until there is consensus to make it policy, I see no issue here. On a side-note could you please give EB a warning to stop wiki stalking me? He's been harassing me for over a year. He stalks my edits as you very well know. He's followed me from E.O. Green School shooting to Jesse Dirkhising to Carrie Prejean to the Traditional marriage movement. He even stalks my talk page and leaves unwanted posts when he knows he's not welcome here. Digging through his history shows that I'm not the only editor he stalks, bullies and attempts to drive away. When he's faced with editors who don't approve of his POV pushing, he deliberately attempts to drive them off the project. He has bullied/harassed/stalked users like User:Rico and User:InaMaka to no end and is in my opinion a disruptive goof. As an admin you should be focusing on that jerk and not me. Ned 13:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Signature use that is intentionally and persistently disruptive may lead to blocking under the disruptive editing policy. –xeno 13:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with my signature man. Ned 13:25, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Your sig looks fine but I think HersfoldAniMate was talking about somewhere where you just signed as "NED" (no links or timestamp). Honest mistake? Then forgive the intrusion. –xeno 13:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry dude but I can't seem to find where Hersfold said that. Could you give me the link please? Ned 13:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

oops, got confused there. Anyhow this is the example and I'm not sure what this was about either. Anyhow. Your sig as you are signing is nice. –xeno 13:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh sorry about that man. I was fooling around with my signature and meant no harm. Glad you like my sig though. Ned 13:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

No worries. Cheers, –xeno 13:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Just a quick followup, but your current signature is great. Thanks for changing it. AniMate 22:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Once again, I've wasted my time assuming good faith with you AniMate. I was foolish enough to believe that you came here in goodwill. I was wrong. I asked you for help and you kick me in the face by ignoring my post. Is this what all admins do or is it just you? Thanks a lot man, you're obviously a buddy of EB's. Case closed. Ned 10:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Caden, you might want to take a step back here, you're falling into old patterns :( → ROUX ₪ 10:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about? I'm asking a question. I deserve an honest reply and that is not to much to ask for. Ned 11:16, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

You are right Caden, it's not too much to ask. And welcome back from summer recess. But remember the old saying that applies to all of us: "It's not so much what you say, but how you say it." — Becksguy (talk) 19:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Becks. I was away in Connecticut. Yeah dude, I know that's some good advice you give but I'm not so good at expressing myself in words. I try my best but I guess it doesn't come out right. Caden 02:46, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Also remember to assume good faith. I had a lot going on yesterday, and it slipped my mind. I've left Exploding Boy a note asking him to come to me with any problems he might have with you and to keep his comments focused on articles. AniMate 21:07, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, the same applies to you. Don't make any comments about him and try to keep focused on articles instead. If either of you has a problem with the other, you can take it to an administrator's board. AniMate 21:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

After re-reading your complaint above, you definitely need to refactor it. You've called EB a "disruptive goof" and a "jerk". That's not okay. No more personal attacks. AniMate 22:10, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay thanks man and I apologize for this miscommunication. I didn't know it slipped your mind. Advice is taken but I ask that EB make no further comments about me as well. I disagree that I've made personal attacks but I will not argue with you since you're entitled to your own opinion. Could you refactor it for me? Caden 02:46, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Caden, to say you react poorly to editors who have different opinions than you is an understatement. You needed to stop the drama five minutes ago. I've tried to treat you sympathetically, but there is only so much hand holding that can be done. Nothing written by Exploding Boy comes close to what you wrote here. You. Must. Chill. Focus on articles and stop focusing on these petty conflicts. Now. AniMate 07:42, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Dude please listen. I stopped ages ago. You don't understand man how upset I am at this moment. Keltie's causing serious damage to my good name on ANI. He's misleading editors by alleging that I'm associated with the KKK. It's not true. This is the second time I'm attacked with this KKK crap on ANI. Dude I'm at a loss here for words and I don't know what to do or think. I'm pissed off beyond words but I'm trying to remain cool even though it's getting worse as I see he's now canvassed 3 separate admins (including you) personally on their talk pages in order to sway a block. I'm going to be banned over his KKK allegations on ANI and I'm telling you it's not fair because I'm not a racist. I don't hate. It's not me. I have black buddies. Sure I have a temper but it's in no way as bad as some think. But dude the KKK? Hell no! None of what he's doing makes sense. I'm trying to take your advice to "chill" but how can I under these circumstances? Being accused of something I'm not is hard to take. I'm a big boy and I can take a lot of punches man, but what that dude is doing is just too much. Just please understand how this all makes me feel. I know you and I have had our differences but that doesn't mean a thing on Misplaced Pages. I still respect you and I have always appreciated your feedback. I don't know what else to say. I'm too upset. Keltie's going to end up getting me blocked or banned over this whole racist lie garbage. It's just not fair. So fucking unfair. Caden 10:48, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Question

{{adminhelp}} Could an admin warn User:KeltieMartinFan to stop making personal attacks? Please check his talk page and edit summary. I'm not asking that he be blocked. A warning should do. Also, I've noticed he edits any article to do with NBC which leaves me feeling there could be a COI here? Is it possible he's employed by NBC? Just for the record, I've had problems with Keltie in the past. Again, I'm not asking for a block. Please just read what I've said and look into it. Thanks. Ned 12:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree that some of there edit summaries were inappropriate, so I have placed a warning notice on their talk page. For future reference, you could do the same yourself, it does not require an administrator - see WP:WARN.

I cannot really speculate about possible conflict of interest - if this is a concern, I suggest that, in the first place, you (politely) ask them about it. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  12:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! I did try to contact Keltie with a warning to cease with his personal attacks but he reverted me. That's why I used the template here. I'm very concerned that Keltie may be employed by NBC which is a COI if he's employed there. However, I can't do anything because he will revert me if I ask. Ned 12:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Friendly note regarding talk page messages

Hello. As a recent editor to User talk:KeltieMartinFan, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors- from deleting messages or warnings from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). These exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, — Kralizec! (talk) 14:16, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Good call

Good call on turning the computer off and going for a run rather than speaking from anger. I take that back: excellent call. I'm actually going to do the same pretty soon, though I'm going for a ride on bike (the weather here is amazing today). When you get back to editing, try not to come from the prospective of "Caden vs. the gays" or "Caden vs. the liberals." It's not productive and can and will lead to more conflict. Instead, if you feel your voice isn't being heard try asking for a neutral opinion. WP:3O is a great place to start. If you're not satisfied, try going to the Misplaced Pages:Content noticeboard. If you're still not satisfied, you can always file an article WP:RfC. These are all great alternatives to airing past grievances you've had with editors in the past and are more productive than simply saying a conservative or heterosexual has no voice at Misplaced Pages. Finally, if none of that works, you can always take your complaints to the admin noticeboards. I would link to them, but I'm fairly certain you know where they are. ;) AniMate 23:06, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks man, I'm glad you agreed. I take it you jog too? Good to hear you bike, I do a lot of that and love it. In regards to your advice dude, I appreciate it. But isn't WP:3O for situations where there's a dispute between two editors? For some strange reason the link you gave isn't working for me. All the other suggestions are good except for the admin noticeboard :) Caden 18:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Sandbox

{{adminhelp}}Can an admin please delete my sandbox for me? Thanks. Caden 16:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Admin help isn't needed, Caden. Just use {{db-u1}} on the page. → ROUX ₪ 16:40, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Assuming you meant User:Caden/sandbox,  Done. –Juliancolton |  16:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah dude that's what I meant. Thanks. Caden 16:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

BLP

Hey dude. (BTW, do you prefer Ned or Caden?)

To continue our discussion on BLP. Check out the arguments I used in Talk:E.O. Green School shooting about the article having been moved to "Murder of Lawrence King". Essentially I was saying that we can't use "murder" in the title since that implies an intent to kill by McInerney that's speculation, and therefore is a BLP violation. If and when McInerney is found guilty of murder, then it can be discussed. The article was moved back to the E.O. Green title. Anyway, let me know what you think. — Becks 22:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Becks. I prefer to be called Caden (I did mess around before with my name which spells out as Nedac backwards =]). In regards to your E.O. arguments, man I completely agree with you. "Murder" in that case would be a BLP violation. You were wise to have picked up on that. It's up to the courts to decide based on the evidence from both sides if or not there was intent. Until then man, the E.O. title is best. I must say you're one of the best editors I have ever seen. Dude I wish I was as good as you. I sometimes have difficulty with certain articles that hit a little too close to home. Anyway, sorry I haven't been on much lately but school, soccer and a few other things left me with little time. BTW my classic Mustang is now a awesome shade of blue. Man it took me weeks to find the right color but it's been worth it. Before I forget, checkout the link on my user page if you want a good laugh. It's no secret that I can't dance but I have a feeling the folks in the video are worse at it than me. Caden 00:56, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I had a 71 Chevy Malibu 350 in a kinda metallic Green with a black fabric roof, and a Turbo 350 tranny, bucket seats, and console shift bar rather than a stick. Loved that car. Unfortunately never took pictures that I can remember. Why don't you post your car pictures somewhere, like FLickr. I'm not saying if I can dance better or worse that those in the video, but it was laugh. And thanks for those kind words about my writing. Becks 16:07, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

The End of War

Hello Caden. I hope I haven't given you wrong information on the source of the quotation, but after reading this I am less sure that Plato said it. Cheers. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 13:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I didn't know there was debate over the quote, but thanks for giving me the link. Caden 22:34, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

You're right, of course

And I will take your advice. Seriously. Respectfully -- what would you do if someone posted a pack of noxious lies about you on a public noticeboard? I'm sorry I lost my cool, but I'm only human. Sometimes you need to stand up and say "bullshit." Anyway, thanks, I'm going to chill out now, and I'm quite serious. All the best -- Antandrus (talk) 00:43, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Dude I understand why you lost your cool and I respect you for having the balls to call it "bullshit" because that's exactly what it was. No need to apologize man. I just thought you could've handled it better. Basically when I told you to "chill", I was just trying to say to be careful when dealing with a difficult editor like him. You're a good admin and that is rare to see. Don't let him spoil that. Caden 14:21, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Tyson Ritter

Please use reliable sources. That article is already littered with enough unsourced trivia. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 06:44, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I would think a official band site is official and reliable. Perhaps you should read it? It's made quite clear that Ritter has an injury. What part of this is too complicated for you to grasp? Caden 06:57, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

WP:UNCIVIL

WP:CITE

Learn to use references properly before you put on your macho suit. You made speculative claims with original research in there, not for Misplaced Pages - create yourself a blog. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 07:56, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I made no such claims. I told you the official band site for the All-American Rejects specifically states that Ritter is injured. Caden 08:10, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Lets assume good faith here, please. Not every single fact or sentence in an article needs reliable sources. From WP:VERIFY "...material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation." That Ritter was injured does not seem highly likely to be challenged, at least to me, and it isn't controversial. However, once challenged, RS are required. The references there now seem sufficient to establish an injury by Ritter, so I assume this issue can be put to bed. However, it would have been better to work this out on the talk page collaboratively. — Becksguy (talk) 09:49, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, when you claim that someone may have had a tumor in their knee, I would like to see a source. Simple as that. Ended up he had just copy and pasted it from Contactmusic anyway. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 12:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Nope I didn't claim, write, copy or paste anything. User:tyb222 might have done that edit but not me. What I told you was that Ritter was injured and that the official site verifies this fact. Anyway, Becks is right in that we should of discussed this on the talk page together. Regardless it's over dude. Caden 13:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Smile

Hey thanks Caden. Nice to hear off you. I've kind of retired actually, haven't edited properly in a while. Kind of lost my fire with the passing of Michael Jackson. Hope everything is going well though. Kind regards. — Please comment R 11:00, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sad to see you've retired. And I'm very sorry you lost your idol too. I know how much you admired him. I hope you can return soon man. The good article work you've done on Michael Jackson (and all the other music related articles you built) is too good to see you leave. Just take a break and then when you feel ready just jump back in. Good luck Realist :) Caden 13:19, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Undid

Hi!

Do you care to motivate these two edits? Gabbe (talk) 11:30, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Grrr...

Caden, don't ever agree with me. Aren't things much easier when we're at each others throats? </sarcasm> Seriously, thanks for the back up. And for the record, does this look anywhere in the neighborhood of 30? I'm kind of stunned that anyone would do this and think it was okay. AniMate 09:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

LOL I love you too man! But seriously that dude is so way out of line it's sad. And you're correct in that it's at least over 50 automated messages he left for Daniel. Caden 10:10, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I knew I was smarter than you. Look closer. It's over 100. AniMate 10:15, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah you're right. It's over 100 which only proves my point that it did borderline harassment. I've never seen anything like this before from an admin. I'm surprised he wasn't reported to ANI. Caden 10:22, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

If I wasn't doing three other very necessary things right now offline, I probably would have filed it myself. If a report was made, I would throw my support behind it, but I'm in the middle of several things and really tired. Even though it will be stale, I'll likely bring it up tomorrow. I'm honestly just kind of stunned and irritated. Were I more focused online I would have stepped in well before this, but now I just don't have the wherewithal to make a good report. Granted many, many of Daniel's images should be deleted. Yet he seems like a good enough kid, and some reasonable non-automated explanation should have been given to him. That said, I don't agree with all of the nominations and will hopefully have some time to do something tomorrow. This is why I hate automated edits and why it irritates me that some admins feel they're above actually dealing with "problematic" users on a personal level. AniMate 10:47, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

If a report was made I know I would support that. I don't think it's stale though as I've just seen that Xeno and other editors have noticed the situation and made comments on it. Many of Daniel's images are very good and worth keeping. He's a good editor. The majority of the nominations (by User talk:Fastily) were clearly made by a poisonous admin out for blood, and therefore most of his nominations are shit for the birds. It's a real shame that Fastily is allowed to get away with this type of behavior. As both I and Xeno mentioned on his talk page, it's time for the dude to step down as admin. Caden 23:36, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks man

Thanks! I really was about to quit until I saw everyone coming in on my side all of a sudden. Maybe you're not in on that yet and you don't know what I'm talking about. But thanks! Daniel Christensen (talk) 06:46, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome dude and hey welcome back! I'm glad you decided to stay. Your image contributions are good and very much appreciated here on wikipedia. But yeah I'm too aware of what happened to you. It's totally uncool the way Fastily harassed you to no end. But it looks like things will be okay now. If you ever have problems again with that guy just let me know.

Caden 07:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring over images by Daniel Christensen

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 10:58, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
