Be careful

Listen mister, do not vandalize other people's work. John Hyams 23:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Please discuss my issue with "your work" on the article talk page. —Psychonaut 23:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

db-userreq

Hello Psychonaut, I see you have requested your userpage be deleted, may I please inquire as to why? I can have it deleted for you but I am curious, and somewhat concerned, that something has happened I am unaware of that I may also address for you. Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge aka "Wiz" 23:39, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

What, you're an admin now? I want the user page deleted because its history contains objectionable and personally identifying statements made by a vandal. —Psychonaut 23:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

::Can you identify what diffs? The diffs themselves can be deleted without having to delete the whole page, or the page can be undeleted without the offending diffs. And no, I'm not an admin (at least not as of now) but I keep in contact with many sysops (and crats) on IRC. ✎ Peter M Dodge aka "Wiz" 00:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Seem to be okay now I guess, sorry to be a bother :) Let me know if I ever can be of help. Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge aka "Wiz" 00:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Nice job!

Just wanted to say I thought you conducted yourself very well and maintained your temper in Talk:International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust. Kudos to you! Dkostic 02:05, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Courtesy Warning

Just a courtesy message that I complained about you and other vandals on this board. This is a warning.

Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User Coredesat , User JDoorjam , and User Psychonaut —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bosniak (talk • contribs) 02:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC).

Srebrenica massacre

I am glad to see that some more people are getting involved in the Srebrenica massacre article.

While not massively factually incorrect it is marred by a POV selection and presentation of events. Left unchecked, the Bosniak editors active in editing the article (one of who you have already made the acquintance of, aptly named Bosniak) will, and have, turned it into a political issue rather than a historical/current events one. They are quite ready to bully/attack anyone who opposes thir presentation of event. Like you, I have been labelled a "genocide denier", "Serb apologist", "nationalist Serb" and so on.

The copyright issues with the text (of which I believe a lot is a cut and paste job from the icty judgement against Krstic) and the photos (which are probably AP or some other news agency, hardly private or for free) are an additional problem.KarlXII 08:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Double Redirects at Grizzly–polar bear hybrid

Sorry to bother, but I just thought I'd let you know that your moving of this page led to some double redirects. I think I've fixed all of them now but if you can, try and check the "What Links Here" page for any redirects before moving something. Thanks. Jellypuzzle | 16:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

The new great game

I moved The new great game to the New great game. If you believe "New Great Game" is a better title, feel free to move it to that. Regards, KazakhPol 01:23, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

This source here, reference 3 on the page, calls it the new great game. I will revert to my last version, but if you would like another source to back up that use of the phrase, I am happy to find one. Regards, KazakhPol 18:50, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Do not vandalize other people's pages

Like you did to mine. John Hyams 17:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Are you talking about your user page? I have never vandalized it. My only edit to your user page was to revert the edit of User:Pancasila, who blanked most of your page and inserted a comment calling you a "fuckface". —Psychonaut 17:45, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I have mistaken you with that user. Please accept my apology. Sometimes it is hard to keep track using the page version comparison... Thanks for reverting my page back! John Hyams 23:11, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

deletion of article

I don't understand why you keep interfering with my article about an english youth hostel. It is inoffensive, non-controversial, of considerable interest to many who actually live in these parts, and causes you no discountenance whatsoever. Why do you feel the need to keep sticking your nose in? Davidahearn 13:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The article you created was deleted several months ago because it did not meet Misplaced Pages's criteria for notability. You recently attempted to recreate an exact copy of the same article twice. Reposting content deleted in accordance with Misplaced Pages's deletion policies is not permitted. If you disagree with the article's deletion, you may seek an independent deletion review. You could also try posting a new article which assert's the subject's notability with reference to multiple, independent published sources. —Psychonaut 13:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

But why do you feel you have to get involved with things that are absolutely nothing to do with you? Why was it upsetting you? Don't you have better things to do with your time? I feel like you have a vendetta against me.Davidahearn 13:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I am involved with this encyclopedia, which is all the justification I need for my participation in the quality control of articles published therein. I don't know who you are and I don't particularly care. I expect that you don't know who I am either, which makes me wonder why you are so sure that I have nothing to do with YHA Saltburn. For all you know I could have worked there. —Psychonaut 13:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

You are a tad rude! Happy new year.Davidahearn 14:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

That is just the way Psychonaut is. He stalks and harrasses people and then makes up lies about them. But you can't do anything about it because the admins are on his side.--Infomaner 08:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Such a shame - spoils the whole project for everyone.Davidahearn 15:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Question about "badJPEG" tag

Hi. I noticed that you tagged Image:Wong Kim Ark sons sigs.jpg with the {{badJPEG}} tag. Did you do this simply because the image is a JPEG, and all JPEG images are discouraged on general principle? Or do you feel there is something specific about this particular image that would show up better in a different format? I would welcome any specific suggestions you might have about this particular image. Please note that I generated this image from photocopies of documents, though, so it's all black-and-white and not of extreme high quality to begin with. I doubt I can do much better in this case, in terms of quality, than what is currently there. Richwales 20:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

The JPEG format is designed for images with smooth colour transitions, such as photographs. It is not appropriate for images such as black-and-white scans, as it will introduce visible compression artifacts, and moreover the compression ratio will be very poor. For black-and-white scans, please use PNG instead. Further information should be available from the links on the {{badJPEG}} template. —Psychonaut 11:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Courtesy Warning !

Either stop harrassing and threatening people on wikipedia, or I will request your permanent ban for you. This is my last warning. Okay? Bosniak 22:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about. Did you confuse me with another user, as User:John Hyams did above? If not, please provide diffs. —Psychonaut 11:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm curious

Before copying and pasting the same message on all of the list nominations, did you actually read the nominations? My rationale for suggesting deletion is on every single one of them. "Delete as nominator - originally part of mass nom at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of fictional actors. These are indiscriminate lists drawing largely unrelated articles from a wide variety of genres, difficult if not impossible to maintain and will never aproach completeness."

London meet, Wed 10 Jan

Misplaced Pages:Meetup/London#Informal_socials - Montagu Pyke (the one that was shut before), I'm getting there sevenish - David Gerard 21:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

London meet is TUESDAY 9th, not Wednesday 10th!

Update: Jimbo got his days of the week confused. This is now happening TUESDAY 9th, same place. You may care to sign up again or not - David Gerard 10:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

SDF members

It's a very good idea for a category, so I'm happy to help fill it out. Your articles on early SPGB members are very interesting - it's an area about which I don't know a great deal. Warofdreams talk 23:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

character equivalence class?

Did you intend to create this article soon? If not, why not just add a description of the text-processing construct to the equivalence class article? Thanks, Lunch 02:45, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I meant to add that article right after I added the link, but I got sidetracked (telephone rang or something) and forgot to come back to it. —Psychonaut 01:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Justice

Many thanks for the offer, which I may take advantage of - this kind of material is certainly not available in Sheffield, anyway! Out of interest, is this material in the SPGB archives? Warofdreams talk 01:28, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's in the SPGB archives. They're open to the public by appointment. —Psychonaut 01:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Categories

Maybe it's just late in the day, but I'm not totally convinced that Topic article rule is written in English...--Red Deathy 16:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Forgotten, not declined

It took ages to produce that AN/I report, and then I had a staff meeting immediately after. And I'm trying to stay off Wiki for my weekend, look how great that's going. Thanks, though. -- Merope 19:43, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
