take a look at this?

the keep "votes" don't seem that strong. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Chile–Estonia relations (2nd nomination). LibStar (talk) 12:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Socks

I see you tagged Smith Jones (talk · contribs) as a suspected sock of Manhattan Samurai (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The user just removed the tag from his user page. Was there ever an investigation? I see some similarities that'd make further checking worthwhile, if it hasn't been looked into already.   Will Beback  talk  23:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply and enjoy your retirement or break. Your contributions to the project are appreciated.   Will Beback  talk  00:04, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

User:Swancookie matter at AN/I

In yet another Clint Catalyst/buzznet related dispute today, User:Swancookie rather gratuitously impugned your good faith and insinuated anti-"LGBT" bias. Being fed up with the series of hit=and-run SPAs (named and unnamed) who attack rather than discuss, I've raised the incident at WP:AN/I. I doubt you want any more involvement with this tarpit (who would?), but I thought you should be alerted to the situation. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 02:19, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

For the record- I NEVER insinuated an anti-"LGBT" bias! Hullaballoo Wolfowitz that's a complete lie.

I need to discuss a LGBT matter that's separate from my issue with HW. Swancookie (talk) 17:39, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Notification of arbcom discussion

Your actions have been discussed here as relevant to an ongoing arbitration case. You may wish to comment. I have linked a prior version of the page because the person who added this material reverted it and then incorporated the material by reference to the reversion, so as to make it impossible for you simply to search for your name. (Hope that's not too confusing.) Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 01:47, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome back

Stick around, ok?

IMDb and WP:ELNO

Hi there. I'm reverting your change removing the Clint Catalyst IMDb listing. WP:ELNO specifically mentions IMDb as acceptable:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/Wikipedia:Elno#Linking_to_databases

In fact, we have a template for adding IMDb listings. Thanks. Jokestress (talk) 15:53, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. I didn't even think IMDB was considered a reliable source (it shouldn't be). Times have changed.Bali ultimate (talk) 15:58, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

...Peace...

.. I will try to improve my English writing skills...Kindly excuse some of the comments by my "supporters" at my RFA. They are not intentional -- Tinu Cherian - 15:48, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, i think their comments are intentional. But I appreciate you're a polite fellow, and don't hold you responsible for their actions. I know only one way to express my opinion -- honestly and directly. The nom is for the same reason -- having looked at that article, i worry that you don't understand how to apply notability. None of this means i wish you ill. As it is, your adminship will pass. Take your responsbilities seriously.Bali ultimate (talk) 15:54, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I am sure you may not like me at the best ( atleast as of now). But regardless of the outcome of my RFA, I wish to collabrate with you on wikipedia in future. Kindly let me know if I can be of any help to you anytime. And my deepest personal apologies, if someone made any unfair comments to you related to me and your stand on the RFA. Have a great day ! -- Tinu Cherian - 14:14, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Gatsby

Are you a fan of The Great Gatsby? If so, could you tell me if it is Gatsby or Tom in the promotional poster for the 1974 film? Thanks, mynameinc (t|c|p) 14:37, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a huge fan but like the book and started that article. Redford played Gatsby in the 1974 film and that's Reford in the poster illustrating the film article. Best. Bali ultimate (talk) 15:08, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. mynameinc (t|c|p) 15:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Did I forget to thank you? ..

Dan Murphy ,Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed nearly unanimously with 174 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 neutral votes. Special thanks goes to RegentsPark, Samir and John Carter for their kind nomination and support. I am truly honored by the trust and confidence that the community has placed in me. I thank you for your kind inputs and I will be sincerely looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas ( including my english ;) ). If you ever need anything please feel free to ask me and I would be happy to help you :). Have a great day ! -- Tinu Cherian - 06:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Greetings.

Hi.

Since you are one of the people who voted in favor of my recent topic ban, I invite you to participate in this discussion on my talk page. I am especially concerned that the people who supported my topic ban did not answer these particular questions that I repeatedly asked during the discussion of my proposed topic ban. I am very much interested in hearing your answers to these questions.

If you do not wish to participate in this discussion, you don't have to. If you wish to erase this comment from your talk page, you may do so. I will not post this message on your talk page a second time. This comment is meant as a request, and not a demand. Thank you.

Grundle2600 (talk) 13:09, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Your topic ban is appropriate. That you are dissatisfied with the answers given as to why you were banned and don't want to deal with your own behavior is unfortunate, but something i can't help you with. I have no interest in circular discussions that are irrelevant to the topic. Edit elsewhere for a few months and then maybe see if you can get the ban lifted, is my advice.Bali ultimate (talk) 13:14, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Flame war on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of creatures in the Resident Evil series (2nd nomination)

Hey, I'm on your side in that deletion debate, but you've got to comment on content, not on contributors. Relax. --Explodicle (T/C) 15:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Fellow called me a liar. I'll make a fool out of him every time he does that. He's headed for arbcom if his friends can't muzzle him.Bali ultimate (talk) 15:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

He has a rather long track record of such behavior. This recent RFC on the user may be of interest to you. .Bali ultimate (talk) 16:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

If his behavior bothers you, bring it up on his talk page or somewhere that matters. Take the high road. Fighting back at AfD is just going to cause a "no consensus" closure. --Explodicle (T/C) 19:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Needling others at AFD

Bali ultimate, please do not needle AN in deletion discussions, as you did here. I'm specifically talking about "denying" his request for more time, a request that anyone with your experience in AFD knows is directed at the closing administrator. Also, mocking his "sincerely" in various discussions: I recognize that he's been doing it for months and that DGG has counseled him against it, but "Why are you wasting so many man hours trying to force unencyclopedic content into wikipedia! Sincerely, and with great affection for a fellow editor." is just plain mean.--Chaser2 (talk) 17:45, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Turnabout is fair play son. He learned nothing from his RFC. He's a disingenuous, MMORPG game player, who confounds the normal process here and who'll be off to arbcom shortly if he doesn't shape up. The problem is all his.Bali ultimate (talk) 17:49, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Biggest and warmest thanks

for your editorial job on Islamic influences on Christian art. You've turned a piece of mindless propaganda into something that could actually pass for factually accurate. This was most brave of you! Cheers, RCS (talk) 19:03, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh thanks. It obviously is an interesting topic but as written... ugh.Bali ultimate (talk) 19:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I cannot even BEGIN to imagine the haters and trolls scrabbling all over that page. I'm almost afraid to even look at the history. --King Öomie 22:12, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for stepping in at AN/I. I figured anything I posted there would only escalate his conflict with me. Jayjg 04:03, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

No worries. I was a little dissapointed, though -- I expect a little more rhetorical skill out of a rebbe with a 140+ IQ. I guess all that deference takes the edge off.Bali ultimate (talk) 04:31, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

math.toolserver.org

or something like that ;) 113 at the moment. It won't go down unless the page is deleted or something is oversighted; I suppose there is a chance of the latter. For general use. Cheers, Jack Merridew 12:23, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
