explanation

now I am trying to put this in proper format bur I'm used to being a vandal in that position you have sure about proper format

I am not a racist

And I have not said anything racist

this is a shared computer may explain any racist posts

And I thought about creating a legitimate account but I'm fairly sure you would all ban me Just to get back at me for being a vandal

Another Keetoowah Sighting

Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up that he vandalized Eleemosynary's user page. I'll add it to his RfC. I figured you'd be interested since you two seem to have a little bit of a history. Karmafist 21:55, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Al-Ahbash

Habashies VfD was inconclusive, but there seemed agreement that total rewrite was needed. Oh dear: see Talk:Al-Ahbash. As Shatner would say, "McKhaaan!" Tearlach 17:41, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Boycottthecaf userpage vandalism

Just a heads up, V: Boycottthecaf vandalised User:Wiffle0rz's user page a little while ago. I didn't feel right blocking him as it seems like the first bad faith thing he's done all day, but since you seem to be watchdogging him, I thought I'd brind it to your attention. Fernando Rizo T/C 02:00, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Japanese emperors

Not to worry; there was a long discussion at the Japanese MoS about how to name Japanese Emperors, and those "double" redirects are alternative names that we agreed that we should have that are pointing to places where the article was going to wind up. I'm moving the articles in now, and those redirs all become single redirs when I do so. Noel (talk) 02:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Christopher Walken

I don't know why you protected the page. I saw the same thing on the Headline News ticker. As far as the IPs, look them up here. We're different people. --70.118.68.216 06:23, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Your blocking of 24.64.223.203

Hi, I don't think you should have blocked the user 24.64.223.203 (talk · contribs). You gave the reason as 'repeated vandalism to George W. Bush', but actually only the last one of their contributions was vandalism - the previous ones were in my opinion legitimate attempts to add information (it's only that the information was unencyclopaedic). We shouldn't be so eager to block new users, it gives them a bad picture of the project and the community. (In fact, I think we've just lost a prospective new user there, mainly because of inconsiderate reverting of their edits.) - ulayiti (talk) 08:10, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Er, they were warned exactly once. You blocked them immediately after they were warned once - they didn't even have a chance to disregard the warning. The edits the same IP address has done yesterday can't by no means be assumed to be by the same person, since they were of an entirely different kind (and this is a shared IP after all). - ulayiti (talk) 08:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

List of Ultimate Leagues VfD...

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your work on the VfD. I obviously disagreed, but you were right on the criteria and it was a good learning experience....and no, I'm not being sarcastic. :) Wikibofh 17:46, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

BTW: Can you clean up (ie delete) List_of_Ultimate_Frisbee_leagues? It's now a redirect to a redlink. We might as well do it right. I left a note on Woohookitty's VfD page (as he/she did the VfD closure) but I'd just as soon get it finished. I think it could be safely covered under the VfD. Thanks. Wikibofh 01:52, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Recent additions to "be bold"

User:Zoe: The recent additions to be bold were not an attempt to add "nonsense" to the page, and it is unfortunate and regrettable that it was viewed as such. It is just and proper that it was reverted. Please note that sending feedback to an IP-based "talk" page and then blocking it prevents any two-way communication, which is probably not very encouraging to non-admin-usernames. The feedback, while terse, is more helpful than utter silence, which is a common a tactic among other admin-usernames. You are a better admin-username for providing such feedback. This message itself is not an attempt to have the last word. If you post your rebuttal to that same page, mostly likely, a real person will read it and continue to learn what is acceptable and what is not. Note that there is a great deal of violence depicted in the Blade Runner page (and in the original movie in a highly graphic manner) and at many other pages dealing with subjects of entertainment and an ever-growing amount of gratuitous nudity-based photographic pornography at Misplaced Pages (mostly in user sub-pages) such as that referred to in User_talk:MutterErde/Nudity2. Note also that genuine violence that occurs in wars and in the crime-based stories such as Elizabeth Morgan, or the threat of future full-scale nuclear war, are glossed over or ignored entirely. Those phenomena can lead to confusion about what Misplaced Pages is all about, specifically if it is more about fiction or non-fiction.

Note also that username with a profile like Special:Contributions/Tregoweth, which focuses almost exclusively on entertainment and wife-beating pages is the same username that stripped the Elizabeth Morgan page of all of its supporting documentation (including the references to the Congressional records), and you will understand why some take a dim view of the future level of scholarship at Misplaced Pages.

Thank note

Thank you for cleaning up my user page after vandalism. :) -- < drini | ∂drini > 22:02, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

A belated welcome back

Hi, I only just realized that you are editing here again, so welcome back! My rough estimate is that you get as many comments on your talk page per week as I get in three years—I don't know what I'm doing wrong. :) All the best, <K F> 22:44, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Fenian Swine

Thanks for that.I really apreciate you doing it behind my back.--Fenian Swine 23:16, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

False Accusations of Racism

In the future, I would appreciate it if you did not accuse me of making racist statements without backing it up with proof. I was deeply utterly completly offended to be labeled like that, expecially since you lost your temper about it an threatened to block me. This makes the management of Misplaced Pages look bad. Please exercise more patience and use a level head in the future. I would like to be your special friend. Thank you. --Boycottthecaf 04:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

And if you didn't make racist comments, you wouldn't be accused of it The thing is, you haven't pointed out where I have said anything racist, you are just lobbing that attack at me without proof. Please stop. That is inconsiderate. I believe your admin powers should be taken away if you cannot behave responsibly. --Boycottthecaf 05:16, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

My userpage, thanks

Hi Zoe! Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage while I was off guard. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:23, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

If only I knew. I think it is related to me blocking a userpage vandal. This guy sent me about five e-mails as well. See WP:AN/I#User:Doogle777. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Sara-Marie Fedele

She's from the Australian not the US series of Big Brother. She's listed in the 2001 section. I changed the redirect. CambridgeBayWeather 08:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

I didn't know either but I was checking the creator's other stuff and noticed they had links to australia. CambridgeBayWeather 08:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Pat Robertson

It belongs on the Tuesday, because that is the date on every single one of the News Reports. UTC time, it was added to Mondays reports on the Tuesday, i.e, the wrong day. --Irishpunktom\ 09:30, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

It's not really that funny, considering you added this at 06:31, August 23, 2005.. Tuesday. --Irishpunktom\ 21:15, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages operates under UTC, not Californian time.--Irishpunktom\ 21:28, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
  - Yeah, i used to think the same till Several of my edits were reverted and moved owing to being in the wrong day UTC. --Irishpunktom\ 21:37, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
    - cool, I posted there. --Irishpunktom\ 21:43, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Deletion?

I'm pretty baffled by your message Zoe, perhaps you can rephrase your comments on votes for deletion, since I can't see anything about my votes there which is questionable, with the possible exception of an occasion where I merged some content into another article, not realising that this was not supposed to happen. In voting on that page, I have been very careful to read the guidelines before voting, and to try to apply the guidelines to the voting process, rather than my notions of what is important or interesting. Perhaps you can point out some examples of votes that you object to? Thanks, Trollderella 15:26, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Every single one of Trollderella's VfD votes has been keep. He has yet to vote to delete a single item. And even on articles which are clearly delete-worthy (like items which go on Wikitext or Wikisource), he votes keep. Zoe 20:26, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Zoe, I'm sorry you think that voting to keep things is a problem, I was not aware that there was any requirement to vote to delete a certain number of things, I often pass over things that look like they should be deleted because they already have a lot of delete votes. I am not sure which things you are talking about that are 'clearly delete-worthy', the things that I vote on are things that I have looked at, and evaluated carefully against the deletion guidelines, and that I believe do not meet them. The fact that there is a voting system implies to me that there is some abiguity about how to treat them. I'm sorry if you disagree with my judgements, and disapointed that you seem offended by them. By all means, if you disagree, then vote to delete them - I won't take it personally, and would encourage you not to as well - I hope we can learn to live with different opinions, Yours, Trollderella 21:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Prat

Mr. Swine is an unserious non-contributor to the project and has been harassing me and other members of wiki. I demand some action, hopefully a permanent ban. Tunney 23:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree.He vandilised my user page and even though you hate me I still expect you to act on these requests.--Muc Fíníneach 23:52, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Apreciate that.He was a menace or a troll or whatever you want to call him.--Muc Fíníneach 00:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Good work banning Mr. Swine. He was an A-hole as you americans like to say.Tunney 00:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Membership removal

User:MONGO removed your membership from Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Wikipedians for encyclopedic merit. If you object to this, I'd recommend you make some hay about it on his or the project's talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lulu of the Lotus Eaters (talk • contribs) LULU (UTC)

Anyone who thinks an obscene image belongs on every article in Misplaced Pages cannot possibly be in keeping with the scope of the project. It is a violation of WP:POINT...disrupting an article to make a point. Next time Lulu, sign your message.--MONGO 06:35, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

And aside from contirbuting zero to discussion, your sole contribution (in sharp contrast to the scope of the project) is this disruptive "membership" as you orignally posted it: "Zoe 06:48, August 17, 2005 (UTC) - I would like to see a standard which requires an obscene image on every page.]]"...and you threaten to block me if I remove it again...now that is admin abuse if I ever saw it. How about this, repost your membership like an adult, just sign and state that you disagree with the projects attempts to "censor" or something along those lines...I can deal with that. What would be the criteria for my being blocked since I saw your orignal membership comment to be a violation of and removed it? Serious...don't get angry, perhaps I am overlooking something.--MONGO 06:54, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

NO response, just a threat...and based on what...vandalism? It is not vandalism if my edit is in good faith and I see your edit as a violation of wikipedia:point. Nevermind.--MONGO 08:05, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Zambian Boys

Hi Zoe, I wonder whether you saw my message on your talk page above, since you did not respond to it, but continue to make accusations on my talk page. I am not sure why you think my vote on Zambian Boys is problematic, (# keep, for the moment, at least. I am worried that there may be good reason why this band doesn't have many google hits. More research needed. Trollderella 16:44, 25 August 2005 (UTC)) I may be wrong, and more research may well show that this article is not suitable. I voted as I did because I thought that the lister's reason (insufficent google hits) seemed flimsy, and it would do no harm to gather more information. I don't know what about that you found unreasonable, but invite you to explain a little more. Frankly, I find your tone a little hostile. Looking forward to hearing from you, Trollderella 20:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Zoe, I beg to differ, I did not make a judgement about the author of the article, but rather assessed the article on it's own merits. I did not find that it clearly met the criteria for deletion. I agree that, on being made aware of the history of the contributor, it may need even more scrutiny, but, while I respect your right to disagree with my vote, I am beginning to resent your repreated accusations. You have not, so far as I can see, chosen to vote on this article, but it would seem to me that, if you disagree with my assessment, the correct course of action is to vote as you see fit, rather than harrassing users who vote as they see fit. Yours, Trollderella 20:18, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

I replied on my talk page Zoe, and on the Ladner Trunk Road vfd. Trollderella 20:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Have I offended?

I have noticed that on each and everyone of my votes for/against deletion you have drawn attention to the fact that I have few edits under my belt. My concers are two: 1) where is it stated that you have to have a certain number of edits to make your vote count, and 2) did you notice my claim to be an inclusionist rather than a deletionists? This does not mean that I am going to be adding useless information but it does mean that I would like to see that real articles have a decent chance of become usefull info sourses. Furthermore, I am fairly certain that I responded to one of your responses to my votes, but it seems to have vanished? Is this accurate or am I mistaken? Thank you very much HoratioVitero 22:59, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

I stand corrected, my responce remains...HoratioVitero 23:01, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

You made me laugh...

And almost choke on a carrot. - brenneman 01:23, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Your comments

Zoe, I don't know why you feel the need to constantly comment, in a way that I find rude and unwelcome, on my votes on vfd. However, I would invite you, next time you feel the urge, to consider whether your and my time might be better spent writing or editing an article, instead of trading insults. Thanks for sharing, yours, Trollderella 07:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Zoe, I don't know why you find it hard to accept that there are people who disagree with you, but I suggest that you dial it down a little, for the sake of everyone's blood pressure. It's a vote. Please try to respect other's opinions. Trollderella 07:09, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

With respect, Zoe, you started this thread, with abusive comments, and are ending it with abusive comments. If you don't wish to have anything to do with me, that's fine - simply don't post abuse on my talk page. Trollderella 07:16, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Judiciary Act

Zoe, I need admin feedback: Was what I did with the VfD notice on Judiciary Act acceptable? CanadianCaesar 07:34, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Alex Linder

May I ask why you say that Alex Linder is user:Amalekite? You seem certain. -Willmcw 07:59, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
