Did anyone said adminship?

I know you do excellent work around here especially with sports articles and normally see you around in AFD and Im thinking should I nominate you for adminship as you are easily qualifyed in my standard. Thanks --Jaranda(^{watz sup}) 21:13, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I still want to nominate you for adminship even though I don't meet your standards of being nominated by a admin :(. But still could I. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 23:57, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to nominate you after Howchung RFA is finished which is on December 26th if that's ok with you. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Want me to nominate you now ;) --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Personal attacks at Talk:Asian fetish

I find your comments to me interesting... Now where do I call Blackcats I kike. I said that by principle if he is so "un-PC" and wishes to not be a total bigot that there should be no restraint to the use of vocab. I repeat I NEVER have said that on wikipedia. Whatever I do or say otuside of here is of no concern to you. I find it funny that you defend him so much and try to get me for anything you can. This is the 2nd baseless claim you've made on me. If I didn't know better your trying to silence me. Just in case you have difficulties reading, I invite you to quote the line wehre I explicitly call him anything other then a bigot... whichi s what he is. Further HE HAS called me a bigot as well... so why don't you send your little love letters to him as well?

Also, by "attacking," his obviouslly Asiaphille friend, I do not attack him. In fact, it cannot be construded as a personal attack since its not to his person. Another example of you trying to get me for something that I obviouslly am not guilty off. I will make my statements clearer after this week, but I deleted my "arguments" on this talk page because I'm rather busy and don't have the time to properly res pond... It was HE who brought those deleted statements back and you try to blame me ? If you want to get rid of me go ahead but it'll just alert many others to what sort of hipocarciy and whitewash bias that is going on here.

By the way, isn't it curious that all the people on the "right" on this discussion happen to all be white? White = Right .. right? SillyAlgebraist 05:48, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

My failed RFA :)

Dear Idont havaname,

I would like to thank you for supporting me on my RfA. Even though it failed with a with the final tally of 55/22/6, I want to thank you anyways. I don't want to be one a admin anymore until I reach 10,000 edits now that it's over with. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 02:17, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Image referencing tags

I'm not sure what an "image referencing tag" is. I posted all the info I could about the image in the Summary section:

Found through Google Image Search at http://www.virtualmagie.com/

Yeah, looks dodgy. Either is fair use or copyvio. Morwen - Talk 07:14, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning

Thanks for letting me know about the bad revert, I've apologised to the user on their talk page. I did not realise that most RC patrollers were admins? I'll try to be more careful in the future. Archer7 13:43, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Help!

There is an unregistered user who is constantly vandalizing the Evansville, Indiana page to include a vanity link to his website. The user in question is Evansvilleboneyard and the website in question is Evansville Boneyard. Despite consistent removal by a number of contirbutors, he/she continues to add it back to the Evansville page with such things as "widely read", etc. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest it is encyclopedia worthy and the user should be warned and/or banned. We could really use your help in removing these pointless links and keeping this guy from adding them back.--YHoshua 03:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Just to be clear, I didn't say a consensus had been reached. I told him to move it on the talk page until one had been reached. However it is worth noting that he was the only one adding the link and numerous people had been removing it. Also worth noting is that he has not made other contributions. The only contributions he has made, and made repeatedly, are links to his own site. That his username is the name of the site reinforces the notion that his sole purpose is to advocate his site. Finally, he blatantly lied in saying that another user had submitted a link to the "boneyard" article on the zoo. It was he that submitted it. This is a vanity site and a user hell bent on getting his low-read site some coverage.--YHoshua 22:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I take offense that you say I deliberately lied about the zoo article. Someone else originally posted it and I modified to give credit. Let's not start petty personal attacks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evansvilleboneyard (talk • contribs)

p.s. - The article you reference was a history and pictorial on the history of the zoo and was a project of both the Mesker Zoo and the Boneyard and was completely appropiate but some little person deleted it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evansvilleboneyard (talk • contribs)

This place sure gets one down

Hi, probably don't remember me, I was the user you welcomed - thanks again for that. Lately I've been feeling frusterated with the overall atmosphere on this project-site. In any case, I think I'm going to throw the towel in soon. Just wanted to leave you a message here before I left reminding myself to thank you for being the first person to welcome me on board here. I've tried my best but I guess you need to really be one dedicated MOFO for this place, which is clearly not what I am. Anyway take it easy, and hope your future here shines on.

hi, there is an organized campaign to save the above self-promotional vanity games-club page from deletion.... i'm wondering if you'd be willing to take a look and voice your opinion? normally i wouldnt care but (a) i hate organized campaigns from groups of users (especially when they have vested interests but dont declare them) and (b) when challenged about it, they suggested i try it myself! so here i am.... cheers!

RfA thanks from Deathphoenix

RfA thanks from Deathphoenix

Hi Mr. havaname ;-)

I just wanted to thank you for supporting me in my RfA. To tell you the truth, I was surprised by all the support I've gotten. I never saw myself as more than an occasional Wiki-hobbyist.

My wife sends her curses, as Wikipedia will likely suck up more of my time. She jokingly (I think) said she was tempted to log on to Wikipedia just to vote Oppose and let everyone know that she didn't want her husband to be an admin.

I'll make sure your trust in me is founded. Enjoy your holidays! --Deathphoenix 14:36, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Baseball on Wikicities

Hi Idon'thaveaname, Googie Man here - I wanted to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan and Wikipedia. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done such great work on Wikipedia I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man^(Talk), 19:45, 4 January 2006.

Your RfA

I have just removed most of them, though I really don't see why this should have any bearing on whether or not I would be good at doing admin tasks.

Thanks for removing, in the unlikely case your RfA becomes tight, I'll withdraw my oppose. And yes, why this should have bearing.

I've got somewhat alarmed by discussions on wikiEN-l and felt obligued to visit RfA, because of the arguments:

• Userboxes are a sign of treating Wikipedia as a social experiment, not as a project to write an encyclopedia.
• Userboxes can be used as a measure to organize factions and block voting
• Adminship may be a big deal today, contrary to previous POV, and more caution in granting adminship should used.

Pjacobi 12:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

You are still abusing the RfA votes, simply ask rather rejecting a legitimate editor's chance to become an admin. I refuse to support these comments. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 20:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Re:My RfA / Pjacobi

Actually, he's already an administrator, and he placed the same vote (verbatim) on several other RfAs recently. The whole userboxes controversy has gotten very out of hand, to say the least. Also, thanks a bunch for answering those oppose votes for me; your help is much appreciated. (I'll send the usual thank-you messages too, barring any last-minute wave of oppose votes, but I thought I'd stop by and give you extra thanks for helping me out.) --Idont Havaname 06:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, any time I feel that there is an injustice, I feel the need to speak out on the behalf of those being discriminated against. I feel that you have shown a very astute level of compotency as an editor, and that you do deserve to win an RFA, which you are doing; but I feel that childish votes about user boxes and making a parody of your user name is absolutely crazy. Please continue to work here and be a friend, despite the having to deal with such things. If Pjacobi continues to act the way in which he does, I'm sure someone will file an RfC or RfAr on him - either of which I will support.

Thanks again, εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 20:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 08:30, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi, this is Werdna648. I supported you in your recent RfA, and you welcomed me to Wikipedia! I have Adminship in mind for a later date, although I do realise that this is a long way away for me. I am just wondering what sort of edit-count, and other such achievements, I would need to reach to gain yours, and other editor's support in an RfA. For reference, here are a few links that may be useful:

• My talk page
• My contributions
• My edit count (Currently 507)
• My recent comment on the Kelly Martin RfC

Thanks, and again, congratulations on your recent promotion to Admin. Werdna648^T/_C\^@ 11:59, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

two quick question from new user

1. how do i change my tag for my tildas, like, your name is signed differently; i've seen others in colour?
2. how did you leave that "thanks for supporting my rfa" box...i mean, how do i make a box like that, that could be purple, or have a graphic.

Thanks, JamieJones 01:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

ok cheers for the heads up delete it. i was told to add it

I think you do remember me

Yep that's was me at Enclave. Though I didn't start Enclave, a pal of mine, Gabe did, I just took it over towards the middle. I'd love to collaborate... in fact i've run into your name here at Wiki a couple times already. What was your old name at Enclave?--Adrift* 15:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

don't know if i remember your old Enclave handle, but it's been a long time and a lot of names. I'll give some imput onto some of the articles you mentioned if i find anything of use, but to tell the truth, I'll probably be more interested in editing straight up goth and synthpop bands in the scene than the industrial rock ones.--Adrift* 06:22, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Leyasu

My dispute with him was at Talk:Grunge music, not gothic metal. I would like to point out a few things to you in case they will help you with dealing with this user.
Leyasu constantly makes personal attacks against other editors and refuses to admit it. His favorite one (as already mentioned) is "megalomaniacal" and variants of it (including "MPOV"). He claims that this is a kind gesture, not an insult. Despite this, two admins yelled at him for attacking me with it, and one of them gave him a temporary ban for continuing to do it after being warned not to.
What's worse, he will claim an article is POV to force his POV into it. He'll do this whether there are references cited or not, and will not cite his own references. When asked to give references that back his statements, he googles for the article's title and gives links to the first 4 or 5 results. He obviously doesn't read them first, because some of his "references" are mirrors of the article. In fact, this method of his proves that he doesn't even understand the concept of academic honesty.
He's a difficult person to deal with, and if anyone should be on trial it's him. Hopefully this arbitration will at least convince him stop violating Wikipedia's official policies over and over again. -- LGagnon 02:04, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

yeah, i've already had several run ins with him as well. I agree he tends to push the POV thing when it's obvious it's not his POV. --Adrift* 06:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Lengsel

I'm not sure how Lengsel could meet WP:BAND since they only released one album. Extol on the other hand seem quite qualified and looks like a perfect place to put as much as you want regarding Lengsel. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:19, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

An Esperanzial note

As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Celestianpower ^háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Before I do any more work

I would like you to take a look at this:

New What it should really be saying Epica's The Score ~ An Epic Journey — was released in September 2005 many of the songs on the a album were made for a Netherlands movie called Joyride. Though it can also be seen as there thrid album. The album is influenced by the music of Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman. Characterised by guitarist, Mark Jansen, the album is "Typically Epica. Only without the singing, without the guitars, no bass and no drums"[2].

Old what it should not be saying. Epica's third album — The Score ~ An Epic Journey — was released in September 2005. Not following the style of previous releases, the album is reminiscent of epic film soundtracks and is influenced by the music of Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman. Characterised by guitarist, Mark Jansen, the album is "Typically Epica. Only without the singing, without the guitars, no bass and no drums"[1]

The Score was never really there third album. All it really is, is a soundtrack for a movie in the Netherlands called Joyride. I think it would better if we put in what it really is so that any one who comes across it and want to pick up there CD's will see it for what it really is. I don't really want them to confuess it for there thrid album when it's not. by turemetalfan Feb 8, 2006 7:03 PM ET

I did not really know who to go to for this. But I wanted to ask someone before I did this.

Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,
