re:Your Message on Talk:Dvorak keyboard

Oh, thanks for clearing this up. Strange that it is targeted at all. Why not keep it semi-protected and redirect Talk:Dvorak keyboard to Talk:Dvorak Simplified Keyboard since Dvorak keyboard is a redirect to Dvorak Simplified Keyboard? Oh, and it was a nice thought, but I'm not an admin :) semper fi — Moe 01:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I saw this trick where I saw just the category on the redirect and the redirect still work. I added it now The page needs to be labeled as semi-protected somehow and I think this might do the trick. Have no clue either why it was attacked, doesn't seem popular to begin with. About adminship, after I failed 4 times under my old username User:SWD316 and once under this name I decided to wait a year before trying again, which will be in March sometime. Cheers! semper fi — Moe 02:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much, just saying that brightened my day :) semper fi — Moe 02:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Marriage

For the sake of clarity, the article is completely locked, and we have been debating bitterly for a long while now. If you read the whole talk page, you can see we are coming to an agreement. Jeffpw 19:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

• Agreed. The condition it is locked in is scandalously POV. It had been NPOV, but some extremely religious/conservative editors altered it right before it got locked. Anyway, there are now good faith negotiations underway, and it is my hope that as soon as the lead is agreed upon, we can alter it. Can we contact you if we achieve consensus about the lead, to at least get that put into NPOV form while we discuss the rest of the article? Jeffpw 19:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks,

Thanks for the message. Nah, it does not discourage me at all. I'll try to improve myself. Maybe in a few months try again. Happy New Year. (You guys have about three more hours I believe, I have to wait ten more hours...) :) Greetings, Vseferović 19:47, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		For bringing about a positive change on the marriage article, and resolving a longstanding conflict. What a happy way to close out 2006! Jeffpw 22:24, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Your protection of the Continuation War article

Well, after five twelve days of heated debate, still no consensus in sight. Would you accept the daunting task of reviewing the resulting walls of text and passing a judgement? Or, at least, make further suggestions to help settle the conflict? --Illythr 21:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to mess your talk page, but I'm starting to feel we are dealing with a troll here. The way he tries to move discussion to the irrelevant issues, refusal to compromise and unwillingness to cite sources points to that way. :-( --Whiskey 10:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

"Contentuos history views"

Well, I'm partial to the conflict myself, so prepare to be brainwashed by Stalinist propaganda. :-)

Anyhow, this section was repeatedly inserted by numerous single-purpose accounts, many of which someone had already identified as sock-puppets . Calls to provide sources or at least discuss changes by other editors were largely ignored. Here is the last inserted version.

The addition is probably a result of the "Who won the war" war that raged long before that. Anyhow, after you had protected the article, Whiskey offered a paragraph-by-paragraph discussion to debunk the (totally unsourced) claims presented in the section. The responce was huge walls of text, full with pathos, more unsourced claims and, curiously, numerous sockpuppetry accusations directed at Whiskey and me, as well as some other visiting users., , , etc. The extraordinary claims presented by the anon army were debunked by user:Whiskey, and to a lesser extent, me. The last edit to the dispute section was made on December 28th. Since then they have mostly focused on more accusations and repeating older arguments. To me, this looks like a clear case for a rouge admin to come in and suppress The Truth™. I guess you can also ask other users, but the opinions of most of the regulars are already expressed here. --Illythr 22:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Name

The name of the article is currently only a minor problem. user:Roobit suggested to rename the article, because he thinks that the current name represents Finnish POV. I sort of supported him, because of similarity with Great Patriotic War (the Soviet name of USSR's war against Germany and its allies) article, which discusses only the term, while the actual event is described in Eastern Front (World War II). But that issue is rather slow-moving and not the focus of the major conflict (no edits/reverts were made on it). --Illythr 22:42, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to ensure that the issue doesn't become forgotten. As long as you have it scheduled somewhere, that's fine by me. Cheers, --Illythr 23:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Very well, I shall initiate a Checkuser procedure. I was reluctant to do so before, because I'm rather inexperienced in due process, but, I guess, it's never too late to learn it. --Illythr 12:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

The checkuser produced the obvious result, that should have been clear to everyoune from the begining: this army of puppets is nothing more then the perma-banned User:Art Dominique (also known as the "Kven user"). It took me some time to realize his true identity, as I was fortunate enough to never have passed paths with him before.

As there are no outstaning disputes, the article could be unlocked and his all edits reverted. If you do this, please inform the other parties, I am not going to do the cleanup. -- Petri Krohn 07:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

A friendly handshake to end the deadlock of the Continuation War article

User Whiskey and everyone else: The proposal by user Whiskey on December 29, 2006 for cooperation is appreciated.

His suggestion for us to hold on to the previously contested text, and to allow further sources and links to be added, and some minor alterations to be made, is in the spirit of the widely accepted Misplaced Pages standards and "rules".

The decision by the user Whiskey is met by a friendly handshake from the user Ahven is a fish, as long as it can be agreed to extend the exact same Misplaced Pages standards to cover the entire Continuation War article and its various claims, instead of this segment only. We - of course - must not have a double standard.

We must try allowing ourselves to act sensibly and sensitively with any changes proposed and made to the Continuation War article from here on.

Let us hope that others will not disagree with this attempt to cooperate. If we do not hear of opposing views by January 8, 2007, please allow the user Ahven is a fish to provide a new version of the text by January 9, 2007, in which minor alterations will have been made to the text, taking into consideration some of the suggestions that have been brought up and/or agreed upon in this forum. Also, further sources will be added.

The source below, provided by the user Bejnar on January 3, 2007, will also be added. This source confirms two very important key facts mentioned in the previously contested text, which has been under scrutiny in this forum:

1. Russian President Boris Yeltsin did admit, that the Soviet Union started the Continuation War, by its attack against Finnish targets (a claim fiercely contested by the user Illythr) .

2. President of Finland Tarja Halonen did remind in Paris, that - importantly - Finland had a separate war, siding the official Finnish view of the Government of Finland and the Parliament of Finland (a point fiercely contested by the user Illythr).

• "Finnish and Russian experts clash over wartime history" Helsingin Sanomat International Foreign Edition 22 April 2005

As the above points have formed the central backbone of the entire debate in this forum , it is solemnly requested, that the previously contested text will be allowed to stay intact from any further revert warring, and that sufficient time will be allowed for providing more sources, such as related book and page information, for support of the previously contested information. ---Ahven is a fish 06:47, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

A fine example of what we have to face back on the talk page. Do check the "reference" to see how much truth the above claim has. --Illythr 12:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Husond: I hope you don't mind such a long message about the user Illythr. I do not like complaining about anyone. This is the first time for me in Misplaced Pages, ever - outside the talk pages, in acceptable language. This needs to be done, however, for the protection of Misplaced Pages and many of its users.

In fact, there is much more discriminating information about user Illythr available. Please, let us know, if even more such facts need to be brought forward.

The above settlement offer from yesterday drove the user Illythr very mad, sending him to go after the people who oppose his views (and techniques), in a manner uncalled for, as these people are only playing by the rules. Instead, user Illythr should just let the facts speak for themselves on the talk page.

User Illythr's naughty game and tricks were pinpointed at early point. Yet, he was suggested to just calm down on Dec 24, 2006, and admit to the facts. He took this act of good will and kindness for granted. Yesterday he began vandalizing the Continuation War talk page (see below), and listing people as sock puppets on the checkuser page, etc., people who certainly do not belong there.

There is plenty of evidence about the unacceptable actions of Illythr, with many of his sock puppet accounts. Note, that when Illythr was spoken to, he answered "I did" - only yesterday -, but he had forgotten to change his user name to his computer (see below). This is all too typical for him. That alone would not be so bad, perhaps. The bad thing is, what he is doing with the information of Misplaced Pages. -- Cheers, and thanks, --Ahven is a fish 15:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the sock puppeteer Illythr (Roobit , Whiskey, 68.39.144.136, Jatrius, etc.)

Dear user Husond (I posted this message at the checkuser page as well):

(I picked up from the message sent to user Sebbeng, and used it as a frame, adding more info about the misbehavior of the user Illythr, which ought to justify the blocking of his various user accounts. Yesterday, a settlement offer was accepted on the Continuation War talk page, to end a deadlock. This drove the user Illythr on a rampage, and that rampage spilled to this page as well. It also led to his violations of the Continuation War talk page, in several ways. Note, that Illythr replied to a comment pointed to him, yesterday. In heat, he forgot - for just a second -, that he was signed in as Roobit. These are the type of things, this user can be seen doing in regular bases. The very bad thing is what he has been doing, and what he could continue to do, to the information of Misplaced Pages.)

The user Illythr uses several accounts to terrorize Misplaced Pages's articles, which fact can be shown clearly by much evidence. That is the reason why the matter has been brought up by users on the talk pages and elsewhere, including the Finnish Misplaced Pages (the signer of this message was not the first to request the blocking of user Illythr). Below, please allow an explanation and related leads (for the vandal control to catch this abuser of Misplaced Pages):

Loosing on the Continuation War talk page debate, - in desperation - the user Illythr appears to seek rescue by trying to blackmail and criminalize the opponents, by unfounded allegations of any sort. With false accusations, he appears to have now targeted the parties that revealed his actions not suitable for Misplaced Pages (in the talk page comments).

In the Continuation War talk page on Dec 24, 2006, the user Illythr was pointed out - with evidence - of having used a couple of user accounts in a highly unjustified manner.

At this point user Illythr came to defend himself with an us-signed message: (his IP address was registered as 68.39.144.136)

Simultaneously, his alleged duel account, Whiskey (e.g., the two accounts used the rare and personal nah word, nine weeks apart), left the crime scene for days, to quickly establish a user page for his protection, after three years of solid and continuous strong POV pushing to the articles relating to Finnish wars of the 20the century.

Three of the users' main accounts, Illythr, Whiskey and Roobit, had up till then fiercely fought to push un-sourced POV, propaganda, claims (lies) of the Cold War period Soviet Union to be included in the Continuation War article, and related articles.

At 18:31 Dec 24 (UTC), the several user accounts of user Illythr were discussed in light of initial evidence (more came later).

At the same time, the user Illythr was asked to please revert his vandal style action where he archived messages of other users , while refusing to archive a highly radical POV article written by his alleged sock puppet account Roobit.

Despite of continued pleas for the user Illythr to revert his action and to also remove the radical article by "Roobit" from the top of the talk page, in manner accptable to all parties, he refused to cooperate (relatet pleas can be seen e.g. in the history file of the talk page:  "Please, archive in chronological order").

Instead, the user Illythr has continued fighting fiercely to keep the text on the top of the talk page, by all means.

Thus, administrators, please help: see to it, that the text to move or delete article will be finally transferred to the archives, where much newer and appropriately sourced writings have been placed by the user Illythr. Please, also see to it, that the user Illythr will no longer get to terrorize and dominate the talk page - or related pages - in question, by clearly playing against the rules.

Despite of the clear evidence provided on Dec 24 of misuse of user accounts by the user Illythr in very unacceptable manner, he was not reported further. Instead, he was asked to begin cooperating from thereafter. He appeared to agree (except that he wanted to finish off by making a "check user" of someone on the opposing site first).

Hours later (16:04, 25 December 2006 (UTC)), the user Sebbeng pointed out that the user account Roobit seems to belong to an unwanted sock puppeteer . This alleged sock puppeteer, Roobit, originally posted - without signing - the extremist Stalinist POV writing on top of the Continuation War talk page, presenting of which on top of the page user Illythr so fiercely to move or delete article fights for, resorting to strong-arm techniques not acceptable in Misplaced Pages.

Despite of continued pleas from other users for user Illythr to archive this old radical text, along with all the other newer messages of other users which he had archived (11:25 Dec 23, 2006 (UTC)) - not in chronological order -, he refused to comply, e.g. here at 19:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC): (notice, how he forgot to sign in - the IP address became visible: 68.39.144.136).

This constitutes vandalism. This also must be among the reasons why the user Water suggested for the user account Illythr to be blocked from editing in Misplaced Pages. I agree in that assessment.

The user account Roobit received a "last warning" in reference to personal attacks from the user Sebbeng on Dec 3, 2006, due to personal attacks like the one shown here: .

To make an impression of being two separate people, the fiercely "cooperating", nah saying user accounts Illythr and Whiskey accounts only in recently began communicating through their user pages, as the allegations of the misuse began surfacing.

A bit closer look to the related user contributions by the accounts in question reveal a pattern of same wordings between the accounts. A number of other characteristics common to his user accounts are easily noticeable as well, such as use of space in the beginning of typing when editing is done etc. (more evidence against the puppeteer is available on the talk pages and in the Finnish Misplaced Pages, as well), also the smileys and signatures:

;-) --Whiskey 20:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

;-) --Illythr 20:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

;-) Roobit (14:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC))

On January 3, 2007, unsigned and using the account Roobit, Illythr made a mess of the Continuation War talk page :

1. by top posting (despite of several requests for him not to do so)

2. by posting between the lines

3. by even posting between the words, as in here: ,

4. by not dating any of his comments

5. by not even signing many of his comments

6. by not using the line margins for paragraph, etc.

7. by using insulting language, as in here:

Why this rampage, even worse than normal? The reason is the very same, as in his contacting the checkuser - see here:

He went wildly mad about the settlement being reached earlier yesterday morning - before the rampage of Illythr - by those who follow Misplaced Pages rules, see here:

This was Illythr, who was upset about this proposal to end the deadlock:

From the piece of conversation copied below, one will be able to see, how the user accidentally uses his "wrong user account", Roobit, when he intends to answer to a questions as Illythr (this has happened before): "… I did? First of all some … Roobit"

This kind of distructive behavior of the user Illythr needs to be stopped a.s.a.p. Illythr is an extreme reverse image of a friendly sock puppeteer.

Besides, under all three main accounts of his in the Continuation War concersation, the user uses offending and threatening language, which is not suitable to Misplaced Pages:

… it will be as easy to blow your statements up than theirs. So why do you want your statements blown up? --Whiskey 14:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

"are you smoking something? …" --Illythr 19:34, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

"… some scumbag declared me a sock puppet …" Roobit 09:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC) ( time from history file)

In the example below, the user intends to answer as Illythr, but accidently uses his Roobit account (forgets to sign in with his other user name):

Ooooookay... Could you, perhaps, help such a development by providing reliable sources to the claims in the disputed section? --Illythr 14:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The text is full of links, built-in sources, and quotes. Besides, as you can see from the history notes , the text was just being worked on, when you so rudely - without notice - suggested for the text to be locked. (Ahven is a fish)

I did? First of all some scumbag declared me a sock puppet … Roobit

AGAINST THE NATURE OF WIKIPEDIA, THE MULTI-USER ILLYTHR OPENLY DEFENDS LYING IN WIKIPEDIA (does it with similar wordings, in all of his accounts):

"… The totally different thing is then, does it provide the correct view." --Whiskey 10:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

"...doesn't need to provide the correct view to be present, only the mainstream view." --Illythr 10:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

"Something need not be true to be accepted as true. It only needs to stick around long enough." --Illythr 10:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

"So it is not necessary for photos to be authentic to be used in the article" () …--Whiskey 22:25, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Nah! This article is still full of juvenile exaggeration and sureness of those who don't know.;-) --Whiskey 00:53, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Military aid? Nah. Ever seen US soldiers manning Soviet military installations, say, during the Caribbean Crisis? --Illythr 15:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

this article seems to be quite neutral, as it draws flak from left and right.;-) --Whiskey 20:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey Whiskey, noticed any Marxist statements in there? ;-) --Illythr 20:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

… Happy New Year;-)" Roobit (14:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC))

Ahven is a fish 14:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

		Húsönd has snarled! Grrr!
		This is getting a complete mess. My user talk page is not an article's talk page. Your arguments/accusations are all so entangled that I can't really get anything out of this. Maybe you should consider taking this dispute to the mediation committee or the mediation cabal. And the sockpuppetry accusations to WP:RCU. Otherwise please state your arguments briefly, clearly an soundly so that I can help you. Last but not least, be civil and assume good faith. Thank you.--Húsönd 17:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC) p.s.-I'm not mad, just want things to slow/calm down here.

Nonetheless, I shall read all of the above and see if I can understand what's going on... --Húsönd 17:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Good luck in that daunting task! Meanwhile, it appears that our mutual friend here is called "Kven-user" and has already had an ArbCom decision on him. (see here). --Illythr 17:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I see that the WP:RCU has proved useful in this matter. After several users have been blocked, please report if the dispute continues with the remaining users.--Húsönd 19:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support

Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. It is my wish that I will continue to deserve your confidence.

Question about un-logged-in IP conversion

Hi, I was on another person's computer, made several edits which, upon being signed with ~ ~ ~ ~ , now bear that person's IP address (208.103.180.57). Is there now a way to convert those recorded IP's to my username, without going to every edit individually? The person at that computer does not have a W account and never edits W. Thanks, Tragic romance 19:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Stupid Question

I'm trying to get colors in my signature, but it isn't working. I'm using:
<span style = "color:red">]</span> <span style="color: green"> ]</span>
What am I doing wrong? (Yes, I checked the "raw signature" box.) Thanks! Madler Talk 12:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for protecting JFK

protection request

Thank you for protecting the Silver Chips Online page to prevent repeated vandalism by the user Cerberus. However, the page was recently unlocked, and Cerberus has resumed vandalizing its content. Please protect the page again in the version without his unwarranted contribution.

I have been invited to discuss Cerberus's proposed changes, but engaging in dialogue would only legitimize his vandalism.

It is wholly unreasonable for a page about a high school newspaper's history to include the ad hoc complaint of a disgruntled reader with a political ax to grind. If a section on "gifted and talented reporting" were approved, it would set a precedent transforming the Misplaced Pages page into a forum for anyone to air their complaints about articles they simply don't like.

Cerberus is simply seeking revenge after the newspaper published factual information that challenged his preconceived opinions.

Once again, please prevent Cerberus's renewed vandalism by locking the page in the version without his contribution.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.255.238.227 (talk • contribs).

for the record

The vandalism is on the other side: removal of factual content from Misplaced Pages while refusing to talk. I have made several offers to talk, plus I started a discussion page and invited comment. No response.

I have attempted to add factual content, appropriate to an article about the newspaper's history. In my contribution I include links for verification of the content I added. (The content can be seen on the discussion page, but the user has once again without explanation deleted it from Silver_Chips_Online.) I am happy to remove from my proposed text any content judged nonfactual or inadequately neutral in POV, and have repeatedly so stated. I continue to be ready to talk.

Note that user once again fails to point to any factual inaccuracy in the proposed content. As I have repeatedly stated, I am happy to remove any factual errors from the proposed content.

Cerberus 02:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

more for the record

I just want to make sure someone knows what is going on here. No need to reply. Note that I am not requesting protection of the article, which I am about to give up on. It has been an interesting lesson in censorship strategies.

New user Special:Contributions/Levante was created solely to hide efforts to censor Talk:Silver_Chips_Online. This appears to be the same user as Special:Contributions/205.222.248.72 and Special:Contributions/69.255.238.227 . Having repeatedly deleted factual content without providing justification, having disregarded multiple invitations to talk, and having tried to achieve censorship by requesting protection of a preferred version of the article, the user is now trying to achieve censorship by influencing an ongoing Misplaced Pages deletion discussion.

As always, I remain happy to remove any factual errors in the proposed text for the section Gifted and Talented Reporting, to address any POV problems (if the user can please tell me what they are), and to use any of the Misplaced Pages dispute resolution methods that the user might prefer. I do not expect this user to change habits, however, so my willingness seems irrelevant...

Cerberus 00:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

yet more for the record

Two new sock puppets Special:Contributions/70.21.48.108 and Special:Contributions/68.239.76.78 are deleting content from Silver_Chips_Online article. This is just fyi, not a request for any action. You have already been more than generous with your time in this case.

Cerberus 01:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

re: yet more for the record

I went to WP:RCU to report as you recommended, but like Levante, both these accounts were both initiated only for disruptive edits to Silver_Chips_Online. (There is no other activity, as seen at Special:Contributions/70.21.48.108 and Special:Contributions/68.239.76.78. Similarly for Special:Contributions/Levante.) They thus seem to fall into the second category: "Disruptive "throwaway" account used only for a few edits" which has proposed solution "Block. No checkuser is necessary."

If I am wrong about that (I am new to this process), which category do you recommend?

Thanks! Cerberus 03:14, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I will try to follow your suggestions carefully. Cerberus 04:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone Beat You to the Punch...

Looks like someone beat you to the punch to nominate me for adminship :P...I still feel its early so I declined and explained to the user on his talk page that if he is interested he can submit a co-nom with you. You people really are too kind :).¤~Persian Poet Gal 22:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar!

First or second barnstar makes no difference, that is just very nice of you Husond :)! As far as what image editing software I use, I can't help but be a fan of good 'ol Adobe Photoshop. I'm lucky enough to have the Creative Suite version, one of the more premium versions offered by Adobe. Their more basic versions, like Adobe Photoshop Elements for example, are pretty well rounded but lack many of the goodies Creative Suite offers. In those cases a better value might be Paint Shop Pro but I hardly ever worked with it. Now I bet you others might chime about way more sophisticated software in terms of image editing; and to tell you the truth I'm not so much a tech junkie more like an artist who knows how to use her computer :P...but honestly I've always been satisfied with Adobe Photoshop over the years and wouldn't really trade it at the moment.¤~Persian Poet Gal 05:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
