"Spelling" Article
While I appreciate your efforts to keep the pages on Misplaced Pages clean, the edits I made on the "Spelling" article clearly were constructive. It stated that "Hercules" is a common misspelling of the "correct" "Heracles." This is factually incorrect.

Hello
You sent me some message regarding that I did not appear to be constructive. However, I hate to disagree with you, but I disagree. They told me on here to delink common words, such as United States, certain dates and place names, etc. And then you say its vandalism when I simply delink the word. This site is so hypocritical...and besides, you did not have to message me to tell me that in the first place. Justme89 (talk) 16:16, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser
You were totally justified in running the checkuser, and the editor who complained about the duck test was way off the mark. I didn't think it likely that it was Caden, but it was somebody up to no good, and the checkuser was useful in determining just who. Baseball Bugs carrots 06:45, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- In fact, if I were in Caden's shoes, and that impostor showed up, I would have asked for a checkuser myself, just to demonstrate good faith and get exonerated quickly. In my experience, socks seldom turn up during short term blocks like this one. They're more likely to come from indef'd users, such as Pioneer Courthouse, who figure they've got nothing to lose; or Liebman, who just enjoys being a pest. Baseball Bugs carrots 06:54, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Liebman
I should point out that Liebman has been posting this phony "retirement" stuff on my page for like a year. Things must be slow in New York City. Baseball Bugs carrots 23:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Re: Your AIV report on Tiaizzylinda
Thank you for your report on Tiaizzylinda (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I have however declined to block for the following reason:
User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently.
If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Cheers! -- Luk 07:12, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Restore request
That user has been blocked indef, there's no reason for a restoration of his/her talk page. The move of it to mainspace was apparently a fit of pique following various disputes that earned him/her a prior block and if you look at recent edit summary you can tell, things were not improving.

Suspicious sock puppet involving Caden
Hey just to let you know, the way you approached the Checkuser with Caden was really unfair. It's not so much the fact that you felt a checkuser was necessary, it was your uncivil and fighting tone that has upset me and some other people. Words like this (when Caden had clearly made a mistake and was not trying to be malicious) were uncalled for: "Your rants sound just like an IP user who I got banned, who also referred to me as a she." Instead of ranting and raving, you could have simply said something to the effect of: "I think this checkuser is necessary. Here is the evidence." It is entirely reasonable that Caden was upset by this. Wouldn't you be upset if someone falsely accused you of being a sockpupetteer? You owe this Wikipedian a major apology - not for proposing a checkuser, but for your nastiness. You should have been a lot more understanding of his anger and frustration, especially once he was proven innocent. By the way, HAVE A GREAT DAY!

User:Uikopdep
I was merely commenting on the reason itself. Many people come to wikipedia and don't write articles. Especially today, when most of the notable subjects are already written about. I'm not saying he/she should be unblocked as he/she is obviously a singlepurpose sock, but to block someone for "not writing articles" seems a bit odd.Drew Smith What I've done 02:33, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, but quite antagonistic
Thanks for the link to the personal attacks information. I suggest you respond in a less headstrong, confrontational manner in the future. "The next time you make a personal attack, you will be blocked for disruption," is extremely antagonistic and unlikely to elicit a welcome response. Please read the personal attacks section for more information on personal attack severity and suggestions on appropriate warnings.Stargnoc (talk) 06:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Re:PCH
Ok, I'll change my vote to endorsing the ban. Cheers, C.U.T.K.D 09:01, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Personal attack
"I see certain editors who never attempt to add anything positive or even neutral to the article. The only things they even attempt to add is negative information. They never try to find sources for neutral stuff or add anything that would put him in a positive light, only negative items. They try to minimize anything positive. You will find those same editors doing the same thing in other articles about people on the same end of the political spectrum as Hannity. It goes beyond coincidence." This poster marginalizes every individual who posts information about Sean Hannity that isn't favorable. I see this is a broad attack against many editors, who he arbitrarily labeled as "Hannity haters". Allowing lies and hypocrisy like this to go unchallenged is not in good faith. So I labeled this individual a "liar" and a "hypocrite" which I still feel are accurate labels, and I still believe posts like his are a greater threat to the sanctity of Misplaced Pages than mine ever were.
"New members are prospective contributors and are therefore Misplaced Pages's most valuable resource. We must treat newcomers with kindness and patience — nothing scares potentially valuable contributors away faster than hostility. It is difficult for a newcomer to be completely familiar with all of the policies, guidelines, and community standards of Misplaced Pages before they start editing. Even the most experienced editors may need a gentle reminder from time to time." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stargnoc (talk • contribs) 11:48, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

- Yes, I said what you quoted. I'm sorry if calling a group who's sole contribution is to add any negative thing they can find as "haters" offends you. But apparently you have not read wp:blp and it would probably help you if you did so.
WP:BITE Daedalus I know you act in good faith - but perhaps a slightly lighter touch might elicit results more benficial to the editorial community perhaps? Amicaveritas (talk) 20:56, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I am so sorry
I am so sorry that one of my fellow administrators treated you so poorly, using both insults and thinly veiled threats to discourage your point of view. I am disturbed by the lack of response to your complaint, and I am disgusted in the way you were treated for making that complaint. I truly wish that Misplaced Pages administrators as a whole comported themselves with more respect and dignity. It whole matter really cheapens the idea that administrators should be impartial enforcers of consensus based policy. I truly think Misplaced Pages would be better off without those administrators who find themselves above policy.
Unfortunately there is an atmosphere of tolerance towards this sort of thing so there is absolutely nothing I can do that would not simply be reversed. I am sorry. Chillum 00:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Bishonen blocked
Just in case you were not aware, Jimbo Wales himself has blocked Bishonen for three hours for "Incivility unbecoming an admin" - hopefully that will act as a wake up call so we can avoid a repeat of this performance. Exxolon (talk) 02:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
User:MarkRomero
Hi. Because I've worked quite a bit with MarkRomero (talk · contribs), I am concerned about your edit here. Can you explain it and the related summary? Are you saying that MarkRomero (talk · contribs) is not now Voltin (talk · contribs)? Thanks! →Wordbuilder (talk) 14:08, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Bishonen's alternate accounts
Hiya Daedalus. It's cool, those accounts are just joke userpagers. GoodDay (talk) 22:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Re: Do me a favor
I just re-read the two edits I made which refer to your conflict with Bishonen, & I honestly don't see how they make any judgments about you. About Bishonen, I do comment at length about her state of mind. I also say her comment to you was offensive & insulting. And I state how I think other people view the situation -- which is why I suggest you let the matter drop. I would apologize for upsetting you, except I don't know how I did. -- llywrch (talk) 23:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

- Daedalus, I didn't mean to imply that you knew that. I was explaining to you that other editors knew that, assumed you did also, & that is why they responded in that manner. Maybe you should take the evening off, & do something not directly related to Misplaced Pages. -- llywrch (talk) 00:05, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Andy Wisne article
I have recreated th article. I have been through hell and back and I have buddys that have pges on hre simply for being a Notre Dame football player which is considered notable. I have listed referances from the LA Times to a first place story that was written about my bout with bipolar disorder, near death experiences, Notre Dame plaing days, and being an actor. Ihave no idea how one could consider that non substantial, irrelevent, or non notable unless there was a subjective viewpoint as this did not breach neautral point of view. I have ha\d to fight my ass off for everything I've gotten all I'm asking for is that this be understood as notable as it is.- There are millions of readers of the LA Times,and Millions of Notre Dame viewers.
