User talk:Karmafist/Archive10

Hi

I know we haven't spoken, but I have a request. I noticed some of IP number userpages also redirect to My home page. Since I do travel, I've used public access PCs. Since those number can be used by anyone, they shouldn't be directed to My user page (and it would be a ridiculous idea for Me to have five broadband connections). I don't recommend blocking, unless they're used to mess up pages. I just don't want to be blamed for wrongdoing by those numbers. -- Eddie 05:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

I appreciate the endorsement as a "fantastic editor." I try my best to do good work when I can, glad it doesn't go unnoticed. I don't typically have any Wiki-related issues, as I try to fly under the radar, but you never know... I love how the WP:NH is growing with contributers, I am too pleased with our progress. Hopefully we can land a featured article one of these days, maybe the Nashua one will finally make it! Assawyer 08:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

nah

Not you, the little {{}} thingies.

hey I was bored at the time. --Mistress Selina Kyle ^{(Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉)} 14:04, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

RfAr against Freestylefrappe

I've filed at RfAr regarding Freestylefrappe here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Freestylefrappe. -- SCZenz 17:38, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll take the lead on this one. I just listed you because it's undeniable you were earlier involved. -- SCZenz 17:43, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Just FYI in regards to this RfAR, freestylefrappe was involved in an earlier dispute on the Bektashi page. I gave a 3rd opinion as requested by the other participant, attempting to ignore blatant abuse of admin powers so that it wouldn't prejudice my decision about the main issue. (I don't think it did.) Now I see, with no surprise, that FSF is in trouble for abuse of admin powers in other cases. Please review the dispute on Bektashi and its talk page, as well as Aldirma Gonul's user page, to add to the case against FSF. As I see it, FSF didn't assume good faith, called his edits vandalism when it was clearly a good faith attempt to add relevant and accurate information to the article, and threatened to block him as a tactic to win an edit war. Which, by the way, ended in the user giving up on Wikipedia altogether, and leaving (therefore, "don't bite the new users" may also apply here). After I gave my 3rd opinion, it was ignored, and the article remains as FSF demanded, instead of how I ruled it should be, because the other user is gone. Since I am a new user myself, I don't know exactly how these RfARs work, but I would be happy to support it if you give me a link to it. Aumakua 09:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

IP redirects to User:EddieSegoura

I saw your post on User talk:EddieSegoura, and posted the following reply:

According to Special:Whatlinkshere/User:EddieSegoura: User:68.167.45.99, User:24.105.138.40, User:69.112.54.11, User:198.22.123.103, User:66.114.67.80 all redirect to User:EddieSegoura. These redirects were created by User:NSLE. Why, I don't know.

I also put a message on User talk:NSLE asking why he/she did those redirects --rogerd 20:30, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Userboxes

I'm glad you decided to be a member. As you are our second admin member could I ask you to watch Wikipedia:WikiProject_Userboxes/Delete_requests. The purpose of this list is that once a userbox has been transfered into the user area, a delete can be requested. We aim to delete redirects at the origional location to help keep the templates area tidy (one of our main aims infact). Ofcource if you don't aggree with this process you do not have to assist in maintaining it, it would however help. Currently, our only other admin member, is the only one who keeps an eye on it (User:FireFox), and he agreed (well, allowed) its creation, however at the moment he seems to hav found himself unable to delete, and that is why your efforts would be especially valuable. Feel free to contact! Ian¹³_ID:540053 20:48, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

RFC

Just so you know, as soon as my RFA and the my RFC against Hazium are over I plan to file an RFC against you along with Zen-Master and a few others. freestylefrappe 05:42, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment on Freestylefrappe's talk page

You should be careful about your comments to Freestylefrappe. It doesn't do anyone any good to sound like you're gloating; let him make his decisions, do what you gotta do at the RfAr, but leave it at that. -- SCZenz 05:47, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

You may be right, but he's not gonna take any friendly advice from you (or me either) at this point. Best thing we can do is let it go. -- SCZenz 06:01, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's still being nice, after a certain point, if you know he won't see it that way. -- SCZenz 06:04, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Re: From The Admins' Board Nonsense

Hey, thanks for the words of advice... and for the virtual coffee :) Sometimes, I think all of us need a bit of reminding about keeping our cool around here - even more so for admins, cos they see the worst of everything. Cheers, and happy editing. enochlau (talk) 06:47, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

communism edit

Thanks for the revert. It seems like everyone agrees on this version, except GMB. He's also in violation of the three revert rule. Maybe he should temporarily be blocked from reverting the article... Patrick 16:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Your opinion is requested at Right-To-Work Laws

As someone I respect vis-a-vis wikipedia policy, would you please let me know who is right here? P.S. I'm trying really really hard to abide by WP:Civility but I'm about done with WP:AGF in this instance.  :-) Lawyer2b 22:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Please write out 'Freestylefrappe'

He requested not to be called 'FSF', so can you go through and replace the acronym with his whole name? I know it's long, but it shouldn't be much work with a little find-and-replace. -- SCZenz 23:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

I've been doing the whole thing. If he's complained about one abbreviation, he might complain about another; it's easiest to call him the one thing that's indisputably correct. Thanks. -- SCZenz 23:27, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Just letting you know that I've replied to your comment on my talk page Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 23:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

NSLE is at it again. Re: IPs

Unaware of Him/Her asking You to help, I mention that NSLE _(T+C+CVU) actively participated in the tagging. He just went and redirected the pages to with the tags. That is inexcusable. -- Eddie

Eddie

Eddie is signed in, but he's using only three tildes to sign. NSLE _(T+C+CVU) 02:09, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

The thing with the anons only caame about because they originally redirected to Eddie's user page, and was brought up by Rogerd. Then Eddie mentioned "I'd rather they not redirect", so I reverted back to the tags, and now he's accusing me of keeping the tags on? NSLE _(T+C+CVU) 02:13, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh and PS, I feel bad that you're up for desysopship on a RfAr vote. Hopefully you'll retain your adminship. NSLE _(T+C+CVU) 02:16, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't think You should be demoted, either. At least their's something we agree on. -- Eddie

You seem to be at the breaking point with Me now, but I'll take a gamble and talk to You. The anonymous IPs issues was settled. I did propose a move, but NSLE _(T+C+CVU) removed the proper tags. I tried putting up the request on page-move requests. If You think it's a bad idea You should be the one to revert. Again, no personal attacks are intended. -- Eddie 00:48, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[1] - IP change. Check contribs of IP. NSLE _(T+C+CVU) 01:07, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

The request was taken down, let's drop this please. It's Christmas, for cryin' out load! -- Eddie 01:34, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Looks to me like Eddie didn't realize NSLE had already takem down the Request for Move template (which Eddie had added earlier), and was trying to remove it - so he removed the first template at the top of the page, which was the shortcut tag. I think Eddie is just having a lot of accidents today. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 01:53, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Have to admit I was bewildered by whatever's going on w/ NSLE and Eddie - hope everything's OK. Let me know if I can help in any way. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 02:26, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

1 William vs Tobias 2 Subnational entities

I think there are two issues

• Williams attacks on Tobias
• Wikipedia:Naming conventions (subnational entities)

Some days ago I filed

• Wikipedia:Request_for_mediation#Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(subnational_entities)

From the RfC that you started I see that William goes on to attack me. How can this be handled? It is annoying what he talks all the time about me. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 04:10, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

John Seigenthaler Sr. didn't ignore what was written about him ;-). But well for my point of view no time to hurry. The Naming convention page is protected now and does not contain any _knwown_ misleading factual errors. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 03:18, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I notice you have signed Lulu of the Lotus Eater's comment on this rfc. I would be grateful if you could withdraw this endorsement as that user is not a neutral party in this dispute, and makes comments which really were not relevant to the rfc or the evidence which I presented and likely were intended to rubbish me and other people who the user suspected may agree with my summary. I would suggest that the views of User:Jmabel and User:Zordrac are more neutral on this issue. Thanks Arniep 18:17, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your reply, could you explain which points which Lulu made you agree with? Thanks Arniep 22:13, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, the problem is I did a lot of work to try and prove that this user has violated many Wikipedia guidelines and policies but, due to Lulu's intervention no admins have really taken much notice. Thanks Arniep 22:24, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Relatedly, I'd prefer if you insulted me to my face rather than on other people's talk pages. I don't think it's particularly fair to do so in an environment where I'm not given the opportunity to respond (unless I happen to come across it, and it just so happens ...). I'll gladly do you the same favor. Also, if it helps, I was also banned, so Jtkiefer was most definitely not siding with me. - Vague | Rant 11:45, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Ward Churchill and User:Fluterst

Sorry to keep trying to lean on you with this. But I'm looking for a friendly (but otherwise not involved) admin. Basically, despite a mediation request and some warnings from other parties, User:Fluterst continues to vandalize the Ward Churchill page every once in a while, by reverting to the same old version he likes. His old version reverts a few POV-neutral changes, but mostly introduces this idiocy about "Churchill is the most-hated and disgraced academic" to the lead sentence. There are a few other POV/vandal aspects, but that's the main and worst.

Fluterst is doing his vandalism reversion relatively infrequently, every couple days or so. So I guess that's good that it's not an every five minutes thing. But since I've taken to watching and enhancing that page, it always bugs me terribly when the awful doggerel/slander is the current page for a few hours before I fix it. I'm thinking that a short term block on Fluterst for vandalism might convince him to stop the crap (with escalating periods if repeated). Wanna do that? Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 18:26, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

P.S. This is utterly unrelated, and I definitely don't want to get you into the mess (mostly dissipated, fortunately, I think). But I saw earlier on this talk page that you had a brief discussion with ArnieP about his RfC on Antidote.

I think your complaint got Fluterst to redouble his efforts to put in his diatribe: [2]. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 03:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

There's a funny irony here, I think. ArnieP is convinced that everyone whoever voted against or removed a name from any of those Jewish lists is a sockpuppet for each other. The evidence for it is that a couple IP addresses from Miami did something in the course of the whole mess (I don't know if Antidote is from Miami, but I think ArnieP believes so); but it also included some IP addresses not from Miami in the "sockpuppet list". At the same time, it appears that every single editor who has participated in the "Add as many names as possible to Jewish lists" faction is from London. And, in fact, a bunch of them got blocked as sockpuppets (but reinstated by Dan100). A bunch of the Londoners have claimed to be "friends" with each other. Fellow Londoner User:Zordrac took up this cause, by way largely, of writing vitriolic things about me on every talk page s/he could find (even though I have no knowledge or involvement in the block; apparently just because I am on Poetlister/RachelBrown's "enemies list").

So "Jewish list" moral apparently seems to be that all Miamians are identical/sockpuppets, but all Londoners are innocent acquaintances. I don't have any deeper meaning to draw from that, it's all just silly. But it just strikes me as odd that one city carries some sort of "taint" while the other just means "concerned editor" (as least in the mind of London anti-Antidote folks, whatever their exact number).

Hi and thanks

While I appreciate this comment and links, was there any particular reason? Did I violate a taboo without realiseing it? Thanks, Justin 23:38, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Feedback appreciated

I was wondering if in addition to the links, we might develop a floating reference bar which can be expanded or shrunk and helps to define items on the screen, without switching to another page or window. The bar would have a quick dictionary section, a thumnail illustration section and a thumbnail geographic section. You would move the mouse across the page you were reading, and if you dwell for some user adjustable time interval on a word, the quick dictionary looks it up and the definition text appears in the reference bar/window. If there is a thumbnail illustration or thumbnail map for it, that appears in a temporary pop-up, then disappears. If you want to look up a phrase you just hold down the shift key and move the mouse across more than one word. If you want a deeper lookup as in wikipedia or some other prefered encyclopedia, you would hold down the alt key for the same selection. There are a lot of ways to expand on this idea. What do you think?

About Chocolate

Howdy Karmafist! Enjoying your break? I just thought I'd drop by (you seem to be under alot of stress these days) and offer you some chocolate and any assistance you may require.

Here is a little about chocolate:

Chocolate comes in dark, milk, and white varieties with cocoa solids contributing to the brown coloration.

Chocolate (see below for etymology) describes a number of raw and processed products that originate from the tropical cacao tree. It is a common ingredient in many kinds of sweets, chocolate candy, ice creams, cookies, cakes, pies, and desserts. It is one of the most popular flavours in the world.
