UK GA Review

Tell me when you are through editing (adding facts) to UK, and I will review the article for you. I am currently in the process of reviewing UF. So, please take your time. (Hint: the UK image in the beginning needs a rationale). Thanks! :-D miranda 10:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I believe it has been adequately taken care of. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 15:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

ACTC GA Nom

Thanks for taking some interest in Ashland Community and Technical College. If this article passes GA, we'll have a model for getting the other KCTCS colleges to GA. Perhaps that could even become a task for WikiProject Kentucky and its child projects. Let me know if I can help with the ACTC GA. Acdixon 13:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You're more than willing to contribute! I found some information regarding the consolidation of something in the Big Sandy district, which I'll post and link to here later today. I can find some for Bluegrass, which was a part of UK's system (like Ashland years before) until IIRC, 2006. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 15:03, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, nearly all of them were members of the UK system at one time. Big Sandy used to be Prestonsburg Community College, I think. Let's just say I'm close to KCTCS, so I'd like to see those articles improved. Hopefully, Ashland will become a model so we'll know what we need to accomplish to get the others promoted to GA. Acdixon 15:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, thats good to hear. I couldn't find much in the way of articles for ACTC outside of record enrollment and some plays. I lived only minutes from ACTC for 20 years, and now I pretty much live a minutes walk from UK, so both are pretty personal projects for me. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 15:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

False anon IP AIV

I posted a stern warning to the talk page. However, since this has happened before, if you provide diffs for previous spurious AIVs (and their removals) I will block. I take a very dim view of misuse of AIV ... this is the first time I've ever come across one done to try to and harass another user. Daniel Case (talk) 04:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

With pleasure!

I found some of these on my own and blocked the IP for three months and CompScientist for four days. I am really disgusted by this. Daniel Case (talk) 05:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

No kidding. I came across it at WQA and thought that it was a routine content dispute, but it was just one sock after another. Thanks for the assistance, it was much welcomed! Seicer (talk) (contribs) 05:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Prime Signature dispute

please be patient ...I am working on a response ...--Billymac00 (talk) 17:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem, just let me know if you need any assistance. It's on my watchlist as well. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 17:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Romney

You left the following message at my talk page: "You have essentially turned Mitt Romney's history into an elongated rant against his religion, imposing not text relating to Mitt Romney, but to the religion. Please cease and take your discussions to the talk page."

Seicer, if you look at the history of the article, I have been opposed to the exact thing that you criticize me for. On December 4, I wrote: "If it were up to me, his great-grandparents wouldn't be in this article at all."

Others demanded extensive discussion of Romney's religion, and I have always said it is excessive. When others refused to acknowledge the inappropriateness of turning the Romney article into a lengthy discussion of Mormonism, I tried my best to alleviate the undue weight given to that topic. As recently as today, I again urged that the section on his religion be dismantled, and the material dispersed to appropriate sections, including sections located much later in the article.

Would you please reconsider the message you left at my talk page? I am a Romney supporter and contributor. However, I have always tried to be even-handed and neutral at Misplaced Pages.Ferrylodge (talk) 19:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that, it was misdirected. I should read further into the WP:ANI case. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 19:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I hope you read about it. This article definitely could use more eyes watching it, IMHO.Ferrylodge (talk) 20:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Mediation Commitee

It is my pleasure to inform you that your request to become a member of the Mediation Committee has been successful. I encourage you to place the Mediation Committee page and Misplaced Pages:Requests for mediation on your watchlist, as well as the open tasks template, which will be updated as new cases are accepted. You are also encouraged to join the Committee's internal mailing list; please email me directly so I can confirm your email before subscribing it. If you have any questions about how the Committee functions, please feel free to ask me. Congratulations!

For the Mediation Committee, WjBscribe 02:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a difference in Misplaced Pages. I assure you that I will strive to be upfront and responsible for my actions and duties. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 02:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

No respect and honor among Wikipedians?

Civiled? You and Tenebrae are not civiled Wikipedians. I do not see why I should have a good faith with Tenebrae who has failed to inform me about his poisition and policy when he changed Vampirella article. Real administrators require to inform Misplaced Pages the reason why they changed and stated the policies which they have duties. This Tenebrae is not qualitified as an administrators. Neither you, Seicer. You are acting like a king or boss more than administrator, you forgot that you don't own Misplaced Pages. You disrespect my message in my talk page -"Wikipedians and guests, please fill your opinions, discussion, and others about me as Cculber007 only, placing here. If it is about pictures, articles, and other issues including Wikipedian policy in legal way (illegal ways will give you suspendion in the policy of Misplaced Pages that protects the rights of Wikipedians) must be in Cculber007's Talk archive, not User talk:Cculber007 otherwise they will be deleted. if I get disrespectful treats". I have to delete your disrespectful message because I got dispectful treat from you. I prefer to speak with a real administrator. I think that Tenebrae needs some lessons. Vampirella picture is legally cover and 1969 Vampirella cover is in a museum, we need new cover of Vampirella. I am not cooperating and respecting with unfair, unrespectful, immature, and senseless Wikipedians like you and Tenebrae. I do not give good faith for bad Wikipedians! I can file a deaf discrimination lawsuit. Cculber007(Talk Archive) 05:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow, that's long. Per WP:VANDAL: "If you find that another user has vandalized Misplaced Pages, you should revert the changes and warn the user (see below for specific instructions). Users who vandalize Misplaced Pages repeatedly, despite warnings to stop, should be reported to Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism, and administrators may block them."

Note that it states that a user, not administrator, may approperiate the warnings. If an administrator agrees with the warning templates, which are required before report to WP:AIV or WP:ANI (and etc.), then you could be blocked. I'm not an administrator, but I can easily report vandals, those involved in an edit war, etc. to the appropriate noticeboard for resolution. Your last sentence pretty much sums up your belief and outlook for WP, which is quite sad and highly undesireable; you should always have good faith no matter what.

AGF issues

This has been brought up earlier but it is escalating amongst other users. Cculber007 (talk · contribs) has been warned many times and has been blocked previously for incivility. Here is a list of DIFFs, also catalogued on my talk page:

• : Belief that any warnings appropriated by users is nonsensical and would appreciate warnings/notices from administrators only, going against WP:VANDAL.
• Wholly inappropriate edit summary, per WP:AGF.
• Creative reuse of a header.
• (the second message)
• E-mail from Cculber007 (66.230.200.216 (talk · contribs)) sent at Jan 12, 2008 6:20 PM: "That is not vandalism, that is my complaint. I think I contact Misplaced Pages about your bad faith. I am not accepting that you think I vandalised your pages but you vandalised my pages. I get news for you, You are not right person for Misplaced Pages. Remove vandalism words and changing to correct. if not, I will call you as vandalism on my pages."
• E-mail from Culber007 (66.230.200.216 (talk · contribs)) sent at Jan 12, 2008 6:26 PM: ""You start to make a fire, you do not want to finish this fire but you want to bring more fires." It means you do not want to solve the problem, you want to start flame war against me instead of others. I think you has something against me as a deaf person. This is last time, changing your comments in your pages from vandalism to complaints. If they are spams and vandalism then Misplaced Pages is deaf discrimination. Do a right things and solve them will give you a chance of Mediation Committee."

Just making a list. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 23:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Under Misplaced Pages policy rights, that was not vandalism

I tried to tell Seicer that was not vandalism, that was my complaint that I believe in the best of Misplaced Pages's interests but Secier gets a different impression of Misplaced Pages policy. As my right, I only said what I believe. Seicer does not want to work it out like other administators that I had in the past and pushed it to be a bad side as I called bad faith. Seicer did not cooperate and listen to me but he chose to be on his wrong way. This is last time, it is not vandalism I wrote on the page. Cculber007(Talk Archive) 05:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Loperamide Edit

I think this is the correct way to go about this, but if not, please let me know. I've repeatedly attempted to edit the loperamide page to include the ongoing discussion of its abuse potential. I did make the mistake of saving before I added citations, which I corrected when it was pointed out to me. I'm not positive why it's being sent back now. The sources I provided were not "credible" as in scholarly, but they were original sources- directly from the mouths of those who had actually been doing the 'abuse.'

I don't see what better citation you're looking for for this sort of thing. There's hardly a better source for information regarding the abuse of obscure substances (and those with little recreational value) than the mouths of the users, who are seldom reached for traditional research.

The final citation I provided was direct to the abstract of a journal article that detailed the proper preparation of O-Acetyl-Loperamide, which anyone with any chemistry experience would see negates the possibility of using acetic acid in place of acetic anhydride.

Do you want a journal source to say directly that O-Acetyl-loperamide *can't* be prepared from acetic acid and requires acetic anhydride? It will never exist, it's just common sense for anyone with training in the area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.115.78.223 (talk) 15:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the info

I'll add a note to my report about his pattern of abuse. Thanks again! --Tenebrae (talk) 18:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Need guidance

Hi Siecer. I'm new to the WQA board and therefore seek your help in mediating in the User:Ronz case. It seems to me that Ronz's position is more correct on the Quackwatch page contents; however the other writers are right in that Ronz is too terse in his messages & accusations. All in all, both sides have a history of good edits. Also Ronz hasn't tried to defend or explain himself even once at the WQA board or at the RfC. Could you guide me on how to help? Thanks.

RfA thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which I withdrew with 5 support, 14 oppose, and 9 neutral. Thank you for your comments! Whether it was a support, oppose, or neutral, I likely got some good feedback from you. I will probably do another RfA in the future, but not until I work out the issues brought up.

Seicer, you can use the "E-mail this user" link on my user page. -- llywrch (talk) 21:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Warning

You appear to be bandwagoning on Chronic fatigue syndrome while ignoring the RfC's. Please undo your last edit immediately. Note that your edit includes reverting an edit that is not in dispute. Guido den Broeder (talk) 14:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
