| Well, where do I start? It does seem strange that after I responded to all the current criticism regarding recent postings that I should than be blocked for my compliance in altering/removing them. Isnt this the wrong way round? | |||
| I know some people have been wanting me blocked becuase they think I provide too many light hearted answers on the RDs. These people have to ask them selves about their true motives here. | |||
| A Samir correctly says: there is a very murky line between good and bad taste. I think this is the way to define the 'problem': many people seem to find my comments are in poor taste.

| :Light current, there was a bit in the NY Times Magazine today about a reverse-graffiti artist who writes by cleaning dirty surfaces of accumulated grime.

| Please put all your adverse comments about me here, so they can be dealt with easily when my block is over. | |||
| === Good faith comments === | |||
| We don't need to debate about whether these edits were done out of mischief or misunderstanding. People have probably already formed their own opinions on this matter, and of course there's nothing to be done to ''prove'' either opinion. What matters to the project is that effect is disruptive either way. By asking us to believe it was done out of misunderstanding, what you're saying is that you lack reasonable adult judgment. If that's the case, it also explains why you're unable to understand various editors' patient explanations of why your behavior is disruptive. It's ''not'' particularly important to the project that you understand- we can live without that. It ''is'' important to the project that your disruptive editing does not continue. If this can't be accomplished through understanding, it gets accomplished through blocks. Ultimately the choice is yours, and your block log suggests you've made some unfortunate choices so far. For the sake of the project, I hope to see you make different choices in the future. ] ] 17:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Friday. | |||
| While the advice and explanation you gave to Light current was good, I think you can understand that you're not a person that he's likely to want to hear (or listen to) advice from at the moment. | |||
| I am sure that there are enough people following what's going on that you don't need to respond to everything that he posts on his talk page. In the interest of calming things down, I urge you to just stay away from contact with him for the duration of his block. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 19:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Very true. I've commented there only a couple times in the last few days and have no further plans to correspond with him. I seriously considered using an alternate account to leave that last note, so he'd not prejudge, but I figured that would only lead to its own complications. Friday (talk) 19:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

| In the context of the current debate about the appropriateness of jokes on the Ref Desk and elsewhere, and given your own position on the topic, (with edit summary 'rm jokes', in an article ''about'' a famous set of jokes) is very difficult to read as ''anything'' other than making a nuisance of yourself for the purpose of making a point. | |||
| I stuck my neck out for you, and you blew it. I'm sorry, but I'm restoring your block. I will lengthen it if you continue in the same vein when you get back. ](]) 05:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I too am sorry that you have completely misinterpreted my edits on You have two cows. THis appeared to be a completly joke article not writtent in the encyclopedic manner. Also another editor had made an editorial note about the inclusion of jokes in the article. All WP articles should be written in a serious manner. I therefore suggested that it was AfD d. Someoned else has now done this. Its clear you have your own narrow view of what should and should not be allowed on WPs pages. | |||

| What was the point of , made after I provided the correct answer? If you were editing your response anyway, why not simply acknowledge your guess was incorrect rather than "improving" it?

| :Did you really not see the purpose of my self corrective edit?--] 20:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Well, yes I saw that you changed the comment from an incorrect guess that the "D" stood for denarium to an incorrect guess that the "D" stood for denarius (only one of which is an article). Leaving a blue link in the archives is probably marginally better, but since neither one of these is what it stands for it just struck me as odd. It is actually a ], which I linked to the article for further reading (some US coins have "S" or "P" as well). Changing your comment after the correct answer had been provided seemed almost as if you were disagreeing (oh yeah, it's not "denarium" it's "denarius"!). Maybe this might make more sense if I knew Latin (denarium wouldn't perchance be the plural of denarius? - if so, why not add a redirect?). In any event, this particular edit is not a big deal. You do seem to edit at a frenetic pace, doing things like changing line spacing which has no particular effect other than bumping your edit count by one (and, yes, I have looked at your edit history). I was just curious if you were trying to reach some magic edit count number or something. I'm glad that you're not. -- ] <small>(])</small> 00:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :No certainly not trying to achieve anything except helping WP. | |||
| :Also its interesting why a cent is called a 'penny' (an English term) in the US. The abbrev for penny here (UK) used to be 'd' (from the Latin). The difference between 'denarius' and 'denarium' is only one of 'case'. They are the same word. Im educated to know that on US coins this is a mint mark. Thanks! | |||
| :Also spacing of comments is I feel important for easier reading and understanding by everyone. If you look at some of my article edits, you may find they consist of nothing more than spacing of the existing text and headings. However, I believe these edits increase the readability of the encyclopedia.--] 00:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

I'd be interested in a screenshot if you could provide one. It is ''supposed'' to be there for all talk pages (which is why talk pages are generally "add at the bottom"). The pages that are "add at the top", like ], are not talk pages and usually have some separate "add an entry" link. How you want to run your talk page is of course up to you, but there is explicit support in the MediaWiki code for adding sections to pages (which adds at the bottom). For example, the link http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Light_current&action=edit§ion=new adds a new section.

| :::::Glad we got that cleared up. In Cologne Blue, the equivalent operation to the "+" is "Post a comment" (on the left, under "This page"). In all skins the three choices you mention are available, but the "+" (or "post a comment" - it's this in classic as well, which is the skin I usually use) doesn't exactly take you to the bottom - it's more like "edit a section" but for creating a new section which when you hit submit is added to the bottom. Many people are accustomed to using this operation, which is likely why so many folks end up putting comments at the bottom of your page. Like I said before, you're free to run this page however you'd like - but realize adding at the top (of a talk page) is very unusual and goes against the "add new section" operation supported in the software (in all skins). -- ] <small>(])</small> 14:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

When people edit an existing conversation, they click the edit button for that conversation. When they add a new conversation to a page, they just hit the + or Post a Comment button. When they want to add a comment to YOUR page, however, they have to hit 'Edit this page', then then need to interpret your various tables and templates at the top (the ones that contain your inspirational daily quotes, etc) until they get to the point where (hopefully) they won't disrupt the header to your talk page, and then they manually need to add a section.

For my part, here's what I'll do: If I see Light current being disruptive again, I'll drop you a note rather than doing something about it myself. I'm hoping this may help prevent things from turning into a pointless fight. ] ] 15:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Ive only just seen you post and I dont know whether Im unblocked yet so I respond.here | |||
| Thank you TenofAllTrades for demonstrating your faith in my good faith. And thank you for acting on what appears to be some sort of concensus that the block was too harsh! I have started a discussion on what people think the problem actually is, so it can be defined and legislated for. As I said, I was not conscious of breaking any rules or guidelines. THanks once more.--] 16:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Rules dont matter == | |||
| :One thing you need to understand is that wikipedia doesn't have firm rules. If you're being disruptive, people ''are not required'' to show you some paragraph in some rule book that explains why your exact actions are not allowed. Editors must use good judgment. Consistant failure to do so is sometimes disruptive. ] ] 16:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Whose judgement is right?--] 22:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Light Current, we each use our own judgement, and everyone else gives feedback on whether it's good or not. This is a consensus based operation. You can either accept that, or not. To be frank, I don't imagine a huge amount of patience exists for you to drill and drill and drill, so please use '''your''' best judgement in this regard. Regards, ]</small> (]) 22:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::As long as people do not think that their judgement is superior to anyone elses, Im happy. Im happy to admit that my judgement has been lacking in certain areas, but I'm not alone. This is why its essential in my judgement to get some sort of confirmation before removing posts and blocking people. Its best to be wise before the event, not afterwards. I dont understand your ref to drilling. 8-|--] 22:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::Light current, I strongly urge you to take Friday's advice here to heart. I know you might not be feeling particularly receptive to his remarks at the moment, but they are meant to be helpful to you in the future. I've stuck my neck out for you; please try not to test people's patience and tolerance, eh? ](]) 23:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Yes. I always try to use my best judgement. I think thats the advice being given. Maybe my judgement has nudged a little more towards the consensus judgement in the past 48 hrs 8-?--] 23:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

| === Admin Sayings === | |||
| An action that improves Misplaced Pages is not disruption, by definition. I suppose doing the right thing in a needlessly dramatic way might be a middle ground, tho. (I would assert in such a case that when the trouble it causes outweighs the good, it's no longer a net improvement for the project.) Friday (talk) 21:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| '''Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:StuRat"C)''' | |||
| I would appreciate it if you didn't cast this debate as some sort of holy war between the good and fun loving gnomes of the Ref Desk and the big evil admins who want to suck all joy out of helping others. For the record, I'm a big evil admin who happens to help out a fair bit on the Ref Desk (and I enjoy doing it), and I think you're doing yourself a disservice, StuRat, by drawing a line between yourself and the 'Admins'. Much obliged. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Any notion of "outlawing" a certain kind of response misses the point- we have no ability to enforce such a rule. We're all volunteers, and some people do sometimes answer with things like "try google". If you think this is bad, feel free to explain what a better answer would be, but any desire to "outlaw" a certain answer is completely misguided. Friday (talk) 21:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

Speedy deletion nomination of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Thomas Leach
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mhiji 21:07, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Axmouth02.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 12:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Another one of your uploads, File:BoundedPlate.jpg, has also had some information automatically added. If you get a moment, please review the bot's contributions there as well. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 14:04, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
File source problem with File:Musicians earplug.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Musicians earplug.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:29, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
