Hi

By the way, you are going to regret deleting the GoldKey page when it is world renouned and I have the power to embarrass you in front of the world because YOU opposed GoldKey. Just thought I would let you know.

Whatever, I correct myself: You tagged it for speedy deletion. If you think it is not the right kind of article, you write one. Use goldkey.com as a reference.

Are you going to take my challenge, or what? Let's see if you can do better in five minutes. (which is what I had) Force4good (talk) 20:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC) Force4good (talk)force4good

I have no interest in any challenge. You are welcome to recreate the page yourself and make it so that it complies with Misplaced Pages guidelines. If you want to start with the page you had originally, you can contact the deleting administrator who can reverse the deletion if you indicate that you want to do legitimate work on it. I would suggest that, if it will take you some time to work on it, that you indicate that work is in progress either by using an article template or posting on the talk page. 331dot (talk) 04:03, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

hmm, rwacolyd

Thanks!

I am glad that there is a rational way to redirect readers to a better page!

You're welcome. I'm not the most knowledgeable person in wikicode but I know that one. :) 331dot (talk) 11:01, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

I think we're well into WP:Don't feed the trolls territory now. If were you I would have stopped after this. I asked Materialscientist to extend the block to include talk page access here if you want to add to it, Meters (talk) 18:39, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I really don't think much more can be added to the situation anyway. Given what they have said about themselves I'm not sure they should be editing here anyway. I think your request is appropriate. 331dot (talk) 19:25, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Zingindiapower

Zingindiapower obviously doesn't speak english natively, so writing your long essay isn't really going to help. I've left a nice draft space for him to start in, though it will probably never make it to the mainspace... EoRdE6

@EoRdE6:Quite possibly, but I am ever hopeful. Your draft space should hopefully be helpful. 331dot (talk) 02:22, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Dirt it looks like dirt

To let you know that user already got warned 4 times and I submitted an AIV report on it see here. I been keeping good eye on that article. —Mythdon 01:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Good to know. Thanks for the information. 331dot (talk) 01:09, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

No problem. I thought I'd fill you in because they been blanking their own talk page of the warnings apparently to cover up the fact they been warned and I'm not even the only user to have submitted an AIV against them as another editor did right after me. —Mythdon 01:10, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

User talk:Supersoftdevelopers

Hi. I'm just pointing out that we do not delete user talk pages. I have corrected as necessary. If you think the user should be blocked for spam name and/or spam edits, that's another issue, one which you can take to the appropriate noticeboard. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:54, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

@Kudpung: Thanks for your explanation and I understand what you are saying; but the administrator who blocked the user, Orangemike deleted the page and then recreated it with the block notice. I have seen this done before in instances of blatant spamming on user talk pages, so I thought that would be all right. I did additionally report Supersoftdevelopers at the Username board. 331dot (talk) 11:23, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

OK, well let's not argue with OrangeMike, he's been an admin even longer than I have - and he's very good ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:32, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

That said, I don't really see anything wrong with what you said, it is just different. Again, thanks for the explanation. :) 331dot (talk) 11:45, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

A user, especially a blocked user, needs a talk page; but there is no reason to leave blatant and shameless spamming of the kind I deleted, even back in edit history. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:48, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Well said

*applause* *standing ovation* --AmaryllisGardener 22:19, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Or not. *applause* etc. No sarcasm had been deployed tonight, although perhaps being British I assume y'all aint gettin' it. *seated slow hand clap* *wait for help* The Rambling Man (talk) 22:33, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Maybe you should keep in mind that the rest of us aren't all British. Can you see how calling something good, mediocre, and 'well played' at the same time could seem like sarcasm? 331dot (talk) 23:04, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps you didn't read it properly. I said that the article had been improved from shoddy (below average) to mediocre (average) and that it was well played by those involved. Maybe you were just looking for some weird hidden message, who knows? The Rambling Man (talk) 07:20, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Where I come from 'mediocre' might mean 'average' but it also has a negative connotation. Google it and "of only moderate quality; not very good" comes up. "Well played" can also suggest some sort of negative connotation(as in being played). If you say you weren't being sarcastic I can only accept your word on that, but I completely understand how someone could see it as sarcasm. 331dot (talk) 12:01, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Like 331 said, it was a message filled with words with negative connotations. And your first comment here is an insult to Americans, about how we don't get "it", paired with country southern talk to insult our English ("y'all aint gettin' it"). --AmaryllisGardener 14:14, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Seems like you don't get it either (and if you think "well played" has negative connotation, there is little hope)... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:41, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Why is it always other people who don't "get it" and not yourself? 331dot (talk) 14:47, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I am German, so not "getting it" might be part of us not having any humour ;) Cheers from Berlin and no hard feelings! Zwerg Nase (talk) 15:58, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

And while we're here, would you like to explain why you removed Sca's comment? --AmaryllisGardener 14:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

For the sake of discussion here, this was my comment:

Zwerg Nase, Leider typisch hier herum. Keine Sorge. Sca (talk) 14:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

TRM likely would argue this is English WP and we can't have other languages befouling our sacrosanct discussion pages. Sca (talk) 15:06, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

No, I hit an edit conflict so I guess I didn't copy and paste your comment across. But thanks for the display. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:08, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Display? Sca (talk) 21:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I see now that TRM has added my comment back in. Thanks. Sca (talk) 21:56, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I think TRM is using 'display' to refer to this discussion; another example of a statement that could have been conveyed better. 331dot (talk) 23:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

It covers a multitude of meanings, all of which apply to this bad faith charade. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:32, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Are any of you enjoying this? You've misunderstood someone and hauled him over the coals for your misunderstanding. Unsurprisingly, he's bridled over it. You've then accused him of bad faith, and he's explained there was an edit conflict and fixed the problem. And still you're annoyed with him? Can you just drop the tag team baiting please? --Dweller (talk) 10:32, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm enjoying nothing, and I understand that there was a misunderstanding. It takes two to have one, and it would be nice if TRM admitted that his comments could have been worded better, too. I will move on either way. 331dot (talk) 10:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

@Dweller: Since TRM has removed my genuine requests for clarification from his talk page and refused to have a good faith discussion with me(calling it "harassment"), I will again post my comment to you. I didn't assume his comment was sarcastic, that's just how it appeared to me based on my personal experience and knowledge. I accept TRM's word that it was not, but I still think it would be nice for him to acknowledge that not everyone is going to understand his comments the way he might want and to grant people some leeway in that area. I hope I am not being held responsible for the discussion of the edit conflict which I did not ask for. As I attempted to tell him, It's very disappointing that he thinks he holds no responsibility for making sure his comments are properly understood by others of varied cultures and experiences. I get that I was in the wrong too, but I think it is a two way street. 331dot (talk) 13:02, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to think if I'd been treated in the same way that I'd be gracious enough to act in the way you describe, but I'm not certain I would. TRM is a good guy and a tremendously cooperative editor (check out his talk page for all the requests for help he gets/responds to). I'm sure you're a smashing bloke, too. How about we just drop this and everyone try to get along. --Dweller (talk) 13:23, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate your reply and I assure you I will do as you suggest. I'm not sure TRM believes me (as evidenced by his 'clique' statements) but I really and genuinely want to get along with him and everyone. 331dot (talk) 13:34, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

That definitely reflects well on you. Cheers, --Dweller (talk) 13:43, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Oh, you're still going with this? Difference is that Sca told outright lies and didn't like it when I asked him to substantiate them. It appears the clique statement holds more water than you claim though. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:00, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

All I said was that he should leave you alone, which is what I thought you wanted. I suggest you reread what Dweller said about Sca's comments. I will have no further comment. 331dot (talk) 15:01, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I suggest you reread the disingenuous edit summaries that Sca has used to claim I've utilised some kind of admin pressure whereas all I've sought has been the truth. I suggest you reread the lies that Sca has attempted to propagate. I'm sure you understand the text that he has written, right? You and he have really got the wrong end of the stick and have run with it too far and too long. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:04, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment, just added a reply. Busy Moose (talk) 02:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I've declined your nonsense, as it's mostly Lithuanian. It's now tagged A1 instead. Peridon (talk) 21:25, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

@Peridon: Thanks for the clarification and change. 331dot (talk) 10:59, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
