hey

hi, i recently added a genre dispute section to the used page both Pwange8 and FatalError loved what i did with it and they both made some tweaks to improve it however there is a user SilverOrion that keeps deleteing half of the paragraph, im trying to aviod an edit war here so im bringing this to u since we delt with each other it the past, they are saying the bert said the band isnt scremo when the source we have listed says he doesnt want to be considered screamo, they are also removing that the band is still often considered scremo and about half of the paragraph that follows, out of the 3 or 4 users that have edited the paragraph so far they are the only one causing a problem that can lead to an edit war, the pararaph was created to avioid edit warring but when they keep removing so much info, its hard to kepp it that way, can you have talk to them and tell them not to change it to their liking because even the users that use to hate me agree with it the way that i made it. tahnx. USEDfan (talk) 06:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

also with the amount of info they are removing, i think it may be consider vandalism, so i told them on their talk page that i bough tthe conflict up with anadmin so we can try to strighten things out. USEDfan (talk) 06:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

nevermind, im working on it with another admin right now. USEDfan (talk) 07:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

SilverOrion is still being abit of a problem to me, anytime an edit is made that they dont like, they say its a sock puppet of mine when i only have this aoccunt. edits were made by pawnge8, nouse4aname, gb, and bill and since they didnt like them they said "looks like u got another sock puppet account" also if u look on their main page they say that they constantly edit bands genres and will get invloved in edit wars and not back down, other users such as nouse4aname, bill and pwange8 and also not liked some tings they did such as remvoing screamo from a lsit of used gernesc(as seen on the used talk page), we managed to work things out on how the paragraph shud be so thats fine but it really seems like this user is just on wiki to start up trouble (they admitted somewehre to not being a big used fan, yet they still war on the page of the band they dont care about) it doesnt make much sense other thne that they are a trouble maker. u can talk to pwange8 and nouse4aname because u delt with us 3 in the past and maybe they can give a little more support or proof of what im saying, overall any edit made that they dont agree with is what they say is a sock puppet of me (which is not and u no pwange8 and nouse4aname arent sockpuppets of me) so maybe u can give them a ban just to end this problem with their account. and if u look on their talk page they had disputes about 3 other bands genres and its prob gona be more to come.

Please

Could you please redact your comment on Mccready's talk page? There's no need to rile him up more. Thanks for understanding. Cheers! Vassyana (talk) 07:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

...and by replying to his trolling attempts is also riling him up. It's amusing to read at the least. seicer | talk | contribs 13:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Rfb participation thanks

Hello, Seicer.

I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your support. -- Avi (talk) 18:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Omegatron

Seicer: From your post on Misplaced Pages:Wikiquette_alerts#Interference_by_involved_administrator, I assume your feeling is that Omegatron either did nothing wrong or nothing worthy of correcting or reversing? Is that right? And if so, why? I was under the impression that involved administrators were supposed to avoid taking sides. Greg L (talk) 02:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Nothing that has already been raised. There have been questionable actions from both sides, and as an uninvolved administrator, I simply closed it because escalating the matter will only further degrade the relations on both sides. Sometimes, it's better to forgive and forget rather than drag it through the mud. seicer | talk | contribs 03:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

• Accepted. Very wise. Greg L (talk) 04:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

98.224.211.86

Hi there. I've brought this user to your attention before. He is indefinitely blocked from editing on wikipedia but is still doing so through the use of a sock that cannot be indefinitely blocked because of a dynamically allocated IP address. You blocked the sock for a week but this block has since expired and the user has returned to direct more insults towards me, calling me "rude and mean," describing my views as "narrow minded" and telling me to "grow up." Granted, that is not as harsh as calling me a dick head as he did previously but still. All this on a talk page that he has not previously written anything on before the expiry of this latest block. He has not edited anything else since his return either. I'm just wondering whether there's anything that can be done about this borderline stalking. --Bardin (talk) 02:52, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll keep a watch but I don't see anything too incivil yet. seicer | talk | contribs 01:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. He's been a real annoyance among the Reference Desk and most of Misplaced Pages alike.--Ouzo (talk) 13:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

...aaaaaaand now he's unblocked :( --Ouzo (talk) 13:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Just to say I'm sorry if you think I warrant any sanction. I have replied to your comments on User talk:David Shankbone. Merkin's mum 02:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I still think DS needn't have been so intimidating. He doesn't know my life situation that makes privacy more vital to me. But I know he's liked here by some people, and anyway I shouldn't have been evil.:) Merkin's mum 02:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

The Used

We resolved the dispute, so I'm requesting the article to be un-protected. The only person that has not agreed with us is USEDfan, but I don't think it would be worth trying to convince him otherwise. The rest of us have reached a consensus, so if he attempts to change it again, we can consider it vandalism or whatever. Thank you! -- FatalError 18:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

USRD participants list

As discussed at WT:USRD, the participants list at WP:USRD is being split by state. Due to any of the following factors- your extended participation in WT:USRD discussions, your IRC participation, or your extended participation in Shields or Maps, I have guessed that you are a nationwide editor and have designated you as such in the USRD partiicpants table. This is part of the lengthy process. If this is in error, please let me know immediately. This is especially likely with this group as I have to guess whether you are a national or a state editor.

Parapsychology

Come on Seicer, there was a consensus on attribution, everything was fine till SA started edit warring against that consensus. Why do we have to put up with the page protected in his version? This is not a legit dispute. This is just disruption by one editor. ——Martin ☎ Ψ Φ—— 21:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm just protecting it to prevent edit warring, and you know that the protected version is not an endorsement of one version over another. I'm not taking sides, but as you are aware, I previously inserted in the removed text per consensus. If you can find the link and post it on the talk page (I'm heading out for a while), I'd be happy to reinsert it. seicer | talk | contribs 21:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
