Bmedley Sutler

Is not a sockpuppet...and your accusations that he is will lead to harassment charges being brought before you in the court of law know as arbcom....plainly put...I wouldn't bother responding to him on his page anymore...once his way too short block expires, you'll get plenty of opportunities to play the game of arbitration or whatever then. Just a friendly reminder brought to you by the meanest, most incivil editor this website has ever seen.--MONGO 21:15, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Well..this is odd (there are many diffs in between)...what are the chances FAAFA and Bmedley would be interested in the same article? I guess, as he stated...he is editing for FAAFA? Okay, well...sure.--MONGO 05:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I am 100% convinced that Bmedley is Fairness And Accuracy For All (talk · contribs). Word choices, sentence structure, punctuation, the way he interacts with his friends and 'enemies' here, POV ... they're all within the range that FAAFA displayed, except that FAAFA occasionally made some good jokes. (I've often wondered if the variation in FAAFA's communication skills was due to recreational chemicals, brain chemistry instabilities like I have or something else.)

Also, I'm sorry I missed your RfA, and very sorry it failed. You would have been a great asset to the project on BLP issues. CWC 10:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I see that FAAFA has had his one year block restarted. - Crockspot 12:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Your Admin status

You are obviously a conservative, I am obviously a liberal. I do not know much about these things but is there a way that you could get a "learners permit" admin status, so that if you prove you are unbiased as far as admin duties go you could be made a full admin. I think it is silly to hold back a person because of their political beliefs (perhaps this is the Liberal in me). I think that if you prove to be a good admin then you are a good admin. I'm sure there are a many poor liberal admins, as I am sure there are many poor conservative admins. An admin should be judged on his actions on wikipedia not his political beliefs.

Anyone with Steward status could just sysop me (and in turn, de-sysop me), but that isn't likely to happen without a direct recommendation from the arbitration committee. - Crockspot 13:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Phil Hendrie vandal

Hello Crockspot,

There is a vandal making rounds on the Phil Hendrie page. It's the same vandal you admonished for such activities on the Chelsea Clinton Page. The User ID is 216.93.229.62 he or she made claims that Phil Hendrie was diagnosed/died of stomach cancer on 18 August 2007. This user had no source just wanted to vandalize the page.

User 216.93.229.62 didn't heed warnings from you and another administrator. I feel that she/he should be blocked before she/he vandalize more articles. Looking at his/her history which will be a certainty for more vandalism. Thanks for hearing me outELO MnLynx Fan77 13:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• I'm not an admin, so I cannot block, but it looks like Gamaliel got him. - Crockspot 16:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Day-um, these people are hostile to the truth

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=PZ_Myers&curid=6820253&action=history

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:PZ_Myers#Please_keep_personal_attacks_out_of_edit_summaries

From the way they're talking, it seems as if they would prefer to delete all those statement. The truth hurts, especially when it makes your side look like a bunch of raving, bigoted lunatics. Jinxmchue 00:06, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Gaaa. Don't try to drag me into that mess. - Crockspot 02:26, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Gosh, I'm prophetic. They did indeed remove all those statements under the guise of NPOV. I'm sure we both know that we couldn't get away with the same sort of thing on Ann Coulter's article. Jinxmchue 00:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Re

I used the span ID added to your RFA in discussions here and here. I contended that the introduction of your off-wiki statements unrelated to Misplaced Pages at the RFA constituted a personal attack, that your RFA had 86.9% support immediately prior to the introduction of the personal attack, and that the large number of subsequent opposition votes were directly attributable to the personal attack. I further argued that you should have been promoted, as it is highly probable that your request for adminship would have succeeded had the personal attack not been introduced. Most other members of the Misplaced Pages community strongly disagreed with my assessment. They argued that your off-wiki statements were relevant and acceptable material to present at your RFA. Because of this community sentiment, it is highly improbable that any bureaucrat would overturn the RFA outcome. Filing a request for arbitration over this issue is not recommended, as the Arbitration Committee has previously declined to overturn RFA outcomes when asked to do so, believing such matters to be outside their jurisdiction. There would be no reason, therefore, not to request the courtesy blanking of your RFA, should you wish to do so. I believe that your RFA is part of an unfortunate trend of using personal attacks against RFA candidates that I first observed at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Rockpocket, where I asked whether RFA's are "going to be debased with the personal attacks and mudslinging that often characterize political campaigns?" If you have any suggestions as to how this trend might be stopped, please let me know. John254 05:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Wow, I had no idea all that was going on. Thanks for the effort. - Crockspot 05:19, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		I'm awarding you this RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar for your great contributions to protecting and reverting attacks of vandalism on Misplaced Pages. Wikidudeman 14:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you. It even fills a gaping gallery hole on my user page. - Crockspot 14:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

RfA blanking

I'm not quite sure why you'd like that, given that if you search for Crockspot on Google it doesn't even show up on the first page... which is typically what courtesy blanking is for. --Deskana (banana) 17:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

• Not yet anyway. Give it time, and it will. - Crockspot 18:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

• Took care of it myself. Wasn't sure if there is a template that should go there though. - Crockspot 18:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== Blanking your RfA ==

Although your RfA failed, blanking it is not the way to go. The RfA is stored in the archives, so that if you do try again, people can go straight to your prior RfA without having to guess what was in it. It's also good for the bored archive readers too :) Panoptical 18:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, my fault, I did not know that people told you this was fine. Panoptical 18:42, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

• No problem, it's still available in the history, this just keeps google from indexing it. It can be unblanked for my next RfA. - Crockspot 18:46, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hunting license

Hi there, if you have time, or know of sources from the NRA, I would be nice for you to add in some more to the History section. If you can't, then don't worry. Bearian 20:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

They do publish a lot of books, but I don't have many of them. I'll look around on their website and see if my life membership gives me any kind of special access online to their books. Doubtful that it does, because they always want their money. I did find a link or two last night that might be marginally useful, they're on my computer at home, so I'll post them to the article talk page tonight. - Crockspot 20:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Fred Thompson age difference again

Zsero has resumed his deletion of the age difference between Fred Thompson and Jeri Kehn Thompson. As a participant in previous Talk discussion on this matter, your presence at Talk:Fred Thompson would be appreciated. Italia 14:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

DRV on Capital IQ

Hi, you can usually view deleted articles by clicking on the cache link that is part of the heading. In this case the article is here. Bridgeplayer 18:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

• Oh, cool. I didn't realize that. I'll take a look. - Crockspot 19:46, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Never mind re email I sent to you

I figured it out. THF 14:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Did you get my PM on CU?

Just wondering what your thoughts were on that. Jinxmchue 17:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Didn't get a chance to investigate it yet, but it seems plausable. - Crockspot 19:35, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Dead link maybe?

I was thinking (not that I clicked it) that the link at Mr. Moore's website that says "Facts in Mike's films"...if it was a true to it's wording...would be a dead link...just a thought.--MONGO 20:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

That POS disgusts me. I wonder, if I alter Sicko 95 times, will Mikey call me a nazi homophobe klansman on his website? Should we find out? - Crockspot 20:37, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
