==Spamming your manifesto==
I have to ask you to stop spamming your manifesto in your signature, as in my opinion it violates the spirit of your ban, which is "to be interpreted broadly, to prevent gaming". To remind you, you "may not link to personal advocacy pages, or include political language, in the welcome message, signature, or edit summary." In my opinion this applies to general messages as well as welcomes. --] 02:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


:I don't think that's how the decision was meant to be read. The quoted sentence falls under the subheading of "Karmafist's welcomes":
<blockquote>
;Karmafist's welcomes
1) Karmafist is prohibited from welcoming with any template or wording other than {{tl|welcome}}. He may not link to personal advocacy pages, or include political language, in the welcome message, signature, or edit summary. He must use a reasonable, civil, relevant edit summary. "''Welcoming''" is to be interpreted broadly, to prevent gaming. If Karmafist violates this remedy, he may be blocked for a short time of up to one week. After five such blocks, the maximum block time is increased to one year.
</blockquote>
:Also, "welcoming is to be interpreted broadly" suggests that the remedy applies only to certain actions, not all user talk edits. ] 03:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

: "Welcoming a user is to be interpreted broadly" means that welcoming a user is to be interpreted broadly. That is, the opposite of narrowly. I'm interpreting it broadly. Karmafist is gaming the decision and this is precisely the kind of occasion for which the term "broadly" was included. He's trying it on. --] 09:58, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

My Manifesto

¿Como estás?

Welcome back! I got a new username (and a new sig): Λυδαcιτγ. Like it?

I don't know if you care about userboxes, but I think everybody (with the possible exception of Cyde) is sick of the userbox wars. It seems like people are accepting Misplaced Pages:The German solution. I personally have subst'ed all my boxes, so I don't care that much.

Hopefully your Wikibreak has enabled you to edit articles once again!

See you around, Λυδαcιτγ 02:23, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome from me, too! --GeorgeMoney  03:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Karmafist, what do you hope to achieve with your edit summaries? --Sam Blanning 08:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


Karmafist - those edit summaries are not helpful to this project. You are spamming your e-mail address for personal reasons and stirring up dissent. I realise that your intentions are no doubt good, but the effect is disruptive and makes you look like a troll. Please cease and desist. I really wouldn't want to have to block you. Use e-mail if you want to contact people off-wiki. --Doc 08:58, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Let me be quite clear, before I'm misrepresented. I think a book about wikipedia might be a great thing. If this project is to succeed then critical reflection and constructive comment is neccessary. We must also be open to people trashign us too. My objection is to the misuse of edit summaries - they are for...well summarising edits.... not advertising projects. E-mail folk. Post to the Pump for comments. Why not see if Signpost will do an article on your project? Just don't misuse edit summaries - and don't (and I'm sure your not) stir up conflicts. A book should record not increase any problems. --Doc 11:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

save wikipedia

wikipedia is fine, thank you. Cheers.User:Mikereichold | User_talk:Mikereichold 12:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure? because I don't think it is. ILovePlankton 18:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
What's wrong? --Cyde↔Weys 18:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Well for one users who continue to disrupt wikipedia after they have been asked multiple times to stop and no one does anything about it. And there is far to much fighting going on and not enough trying to make wikipedia better. ILovePlankton 18:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
For two, disruptive admins, and users who show any resistance whatsoever being labelled "disruptive" or "trolls". Shall we go on? There's more material yet. — Nathan 03:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

A very sad thank you

Thank you for your vote in my recent RFA. At 43/43/14, I decided it was best to withdraw. I will wait until another time for an RFA. Thanks again, ILovePlankton 03:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


Greetings

Hi, Karmafist. I'm sorry to say that I don't think you should be unblocked either. Your recent edit summaries have nothing to do with your edits; they appear to me to be an attempt to spam recent changes. (Just imagine if everyone on Misplaced Pages were to use edit summaries that way—they'd be useless for recent change patrolling!) They do, also, go against the spirit of the arbitration ruling. I believe that you do want to make positive change here, but your methods of going about it are only hurting you. You are welcome to mention your projects to your personal friends and contacts, but misusing features such as edit summaries to do it is not acceptable.

Also, please don't remove others' comments while you still have the request to unblock up. It's misleading to other admins who wish to evaluate your request if they cannot see that others have refused. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 22:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

hey Karma, what goes around comes around (even though it seems to take too long). i might suggest to not let your recently gained political power in NH go to your head. things go around there, too. r b-j 20:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, rbj. Ditto for you too, buddy. Karmafist 21:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Your book

Do you have a title for it? ILovePlankton 21:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I like that title, it seems to go well with where wikipedia is at right now. Also I have a couple of questions. Is it going to be a story about you, or is it going to be a book about wikipedia? Will you have other people in the book (Like me? :p), and if you do will they have the same names in your book as they do on wikipedia? After the book is done are you going to leave wikipedia (please don't)? Is it going to sell in canada and Britain? ILovePlankton 17:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Did you miss my questions? ILovePlankton 22:36, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, but I was also wondering if it would sell in canada or britain, I know nathanrdotcom would like to buy it, if you don't know I understand. sorry about that ILovePlankton 22:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
You have a way of making me feel good. :) Thank you for all you have done for me and wikipedia. ILovePlankton 22:53, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh I second that, of course. — Nathan / 19:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

call it an award if you want

Template:Osbus's cucumber barn star A while ago you welcomed me under a different username, Afc3737. Well here I am btw is your book about Misplaced Pages? B/c I already started writing one :). --Osbus 23:46, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

On my userpage, how do I align the boxes vertically on the right?

Re:book

The book Im writing is along the lines of wiki-culture and focuses on WP. Nevertheless, I have plenty of ideas for your book...but is it meant to be published and read by WP editors or the general public? Good luck, --Osbus 02:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for coming back and not getting blocked! Your edit summaries are looking a lot better now. --TantalumTelluride 02:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I concur. —Nightstallion (?) 14:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I surely hope that you will try for nomination. --Nearly Headless Nick 09:38, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello

I just saw you and dropped in to say hello. How are you? Busy, I am sure. I wish you all the best for your new role in the real life. --Bhadani 16:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Our red tape and processes and all the attendant paraphernalia created to save and value add to wikipedia may be doing more harm than the good. Still, I being an eternal optimist shall do my part to improve the credibility of the Project and make it an encyclopedia in the truest sense than an encyclopedia based on consensus, and ultimately the largest blog created in the human history! Nice to hear from you. --Bhadani 17:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

Being the creator of:
