Revision as of 07:34, 20 May 2009

1RR I've agreed to only make one revert per article every 24 hours, and admins can block for violations.

I periodically go through and clean out the old comments... This is because they refer to old situations or that the discussions are otherwise no longer current. Those looking for archives are invited to refer to the history.

If you have a demonstrated history of personal harassment on these pages, your posts are not welcome here. You should know who you are. If you do post, your comments will be removed, most likely unread. If there's any chance that you might not know that your behavior is considered harassment, I will tell you, and from that point on you will not be allowed to post here. To anyone who doesn't know what I am referring to here, this warning does not apply to you, so by all means leave a message.

Please add new comments to the bottom of the list below (you can use the handy dandy "new section" tab next to "edit this page" at the top of the screen).

1-RR COMPLIANCE TO DO LIST:

Lore Sjöberg

Thank you for putting up that quote and a link to the Wired article on your user page. It's been a while since I've laughed so much. As they say, it's funny because it's true :) §FreeRangeFrog 21:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, once I saw that one I knew I had to include it.DreamGuy (talk) 15:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

FYI

I thought you should know that Arcayne's complaining about you in http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard

From what I'm seeing here, he didn't bother to inform you.

It's really sad. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for this guy. Doesn't he have anything else in his life? Erikeltic (talk) 17:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I have ANI watchlisted, and whenever I see him posting there I check to see if he's complaining about me or not, so I already replied.
He's frankly obsessed with me and constantly seeks out ways to get into conflict with me, but thankfully he usually loses. At this point he's been stumbling so badly and doing the same to so many other people that I suspect he's probably heading for some serious consequences soon. DreamGuy (talk) 17:22, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
God I hope so. It's just unfair that he gets to abuse the system the way that he does. Erikeltic (talk) 18:05, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

AFD question

You seem to have been editing Misplaced Pages heavily for much longer than I. Do you know of any ways to help make sure an AFD is seen by the broader community so that it cannot be swamped by editors just from the page up for deletion? Thanks- Locke9k (talk) 19:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Battle Cry of Freedom (book)

Just wanted to say good work on the above. I think it is better now than before. KnightLago (talk) 17:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

The end of Dan Schlund

I know other editors were giving you a hard time about your so called "aggressive behavior", but there are two sides to every story. Throughout that debate, I felt like the other editors downplayed the contra-opinion unfairly. The correct move was ultimately made, and thanks for helping keep WP advertisement-free. smooth007 (talk) 15:06, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

ANI

I have mentioned the recent activity by Azviz over at WP:ANI, if you want to comment over there. MuZemike 18:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Graeae Theatre Company

I wouldn't worry too much about the notability tag on the article. It can't be listed on AfD again for a minimum period of time anyway. It does satisfy notability although the text could use some work, and any more references you can link back to the text itself will be of benefit. Leave the tag there; removing it will just make him think he's getting under your skin and encourage him. Having it there will attract other editors who may know a thing or two about the subject and can work on it as well. --BlueSquadronRaven 19:47, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism to my user page

Hi. I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page. I think that they didn't appreciate my removal of their spam from the Untouchable (Girls Aloud song) page. ~~ 18:16, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Carina Axelsson entry

Hi! Hey, thanks for finally getting those idiotic blogs deleted from there. I think we've got the pretend princess pretty well shaped up. PR (talk) 23:14, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

poor man's original hash research

Why have you removed virtually all the content of poor man's copyright page? The section called 'modern methods' seemed quite sensible to me. Did you look at (or do you understand) the linked maths-based cryptographic hash pages? Far from being original research - its what people actually do every day! e.g. Inventors write down in a journal a hash and also publish said hash. Galileo published anagrams to the same effect hundreds of years ago. Edit and prune an article perhaps - but what use is slash and burn. 91.109.13.236 (talk) 20:42, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Deleting outright is the accepted -- and, in fact, necessary -- action when the content in question is completely hopeless per encyclopedic standards. It's just original research/recommendations added as a how to guide. We aren't here to give recommendations, especially not silly technical nonsense that isn't legally sanctioned for a topic on legal matters. DreamGuy (talk) 20:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Jack the Ripper Suspect - Melville Macnaghten

I don't thank you for deleting my article about Melville Macnaghten in the Jack the Ripper Suspects page. Who the hell are you to say which author or book is notable or not ? Did you even read the book I mentionned ? I wish you had an open mind but you obviously haven't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.68.217.210 (talk) 18:57, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

It's up to you to demonstrate that it's a notable theory, not the other way around, and since you are unable to do that it cannot be mentioned there. On top of that, the field of Ripper studies universally considers that particular book to be a total joke. We do not list every single person that everybody with some weird conspiracy theory decides to accuse of being Jack the Ripper, only the most significant ones -- wide media coverage, general level of acceptance in the field, etc. DreamGuy (talk) 19:58, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Horneldinkrag

It ain't no stinkin' sock. Not of mine, anyway. My guess would be it's the same guy that was harassing me from an IP a day or two ago, only this time playing kind of a "reverse psychology" game of outrageous kiss-up "support". At least it's funny. The one over the weekend wasn't. I didn't want to pose this theory out loud, but since you brought it up... Baseball Bugs carrots 15:43, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

There are a couple of different plausible explanations, but none of those are that it's a sock of you. Yours might make more sense than the one I was thinking of. DreamGuy (talk) 16:11, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
On the other hand, there's always a chance that I've got a devoted fan out there somewhere. The downside would be if he turns out to be a stalker. If so, I'm ready for him, in my home in this Florida swamp, surrounded by razor wire and a moat filled with large, grinning reptiles. Baseball Bugs carrots 16:49, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Your edit, summ'd "this list is full of content that has very list purpose for being here, if any -- clearing out ones already linked to in article, that aren't ULs or related" -- has needed doing for a loooong time. thanks! DavidOaks (talk) 19:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
