MARMOT,
Hi {{PAGENAME}}, and ] to Misplaced Pages! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a ] of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the ]. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the ] to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a ], second, ], and third, use ]. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the ] page. You might also be interested in ] and possibly ].


As discussed, you are hereby on one year of probation. You are to complete the following tasks as part of your unbanning agreement.
Be sure to get involved in the community &ndash; you can contact me at ] if you have any questions, and you can check out the ], where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the ]. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.

MARMOT. Your proposed policy "Adminstators can't vote" is very hard to understand, largely because you have overused questions marks. For example, when you write "Judges can't vote in General Elections?" it's not clear if this is a question to which you want an answer (the answer is yes they can), or a statement (since you have put question marks after other statements) or an ironic comment (which would tend to argue against your proposal). Your proposal would be much better recieved if you went and tidied up the English. Thanks. ] 13:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hello, MARMOT. I noticed at ] that you had several questions about reversions. The reason why I (and two other people) reverted your changes were because they appeared like a joke in an otherwise serious page. Your suggestion made little sense and was irrational; in addition, your choice of words ("Problem fucking solved.") appeared to indicate that your suggestion was to not be taken seriously. As such, they were reverted by Snowspinner. You then proceeded to revert him and also remove his comment; you should '''never''' remove or tamper with anyone's vote, comment or suggestion. As such, I reverted your changes. After you made the change again, Talrias reverted your changes. If you want people to take you seriously, please make serious suggestions and comments, don't tamper with other people's comments (especially the person who had just reverted you), and don't mark your edits as minor when they clearly are not (the addition of new material is generally considered major). While you may have been trying to inject some humor into the page, this wasn't the appropriate place or time to do so. The second reversion that you point out was when you added a section titled "Developer insight" and wrote that you were the "programmer of the software". The added section seemed to make no sense; you aren't a developer &mdash; are you saying that a developer said that? In either case, please attempt to make your changes more clear in the future (i.e. explain what you are trying to state so that someone stumbling upon the page would understand the addition) and provide ] in the future to assist other people in understanding your edits.

The comment removal was accidental edit conflict, as to the Super Troll, I am the programmer of Love Virus and Love Virus is the software used by SUPER COOL/SUPER TROLL. I stopped publishing keys after I was unbanned.


On another note, I ask you delete the vandalism page on me.

:It seems like ] has already been deleted by another administrator. Regarding the Super Troll page &mdash; are you saying that you provided them with the software? If so, I'll clarify that on the page. Finally, could I ask you to review your use of the "minor" flag?

You may wish to review ]. Thanks a lot! ] <small>(])</small> 15:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Well the problem is the minor edit is always selected, not intentionally.

Thank you for deleting the vandalism page.

MARMOT,

As discussed, you are hereby on one year of probation. You are to complete the following tasks as part of your unbanning agreement.

  • A formal and open apology written to Linuxbeak, Phroziac, Cool_Cat, and others that you have caused harm to
  • Mentorship/mediation, which is to be pursued immediately
  • A probation sentence of one full year from the moment of your unbanning
  • Ceasing of all harmful activity against Misplaced Pages and it's users (including IRC)
  • An indication of behavioral improvement, marked by an RFC, after three months

I also have another task for you. Every sock puppet that you have used is to be identified.

Good luck in your probation, and welcome back. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 20:45, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Trolling

Please resist trolling and verbal abuse around wikipedia, and irc networks. Cheers. Hejog 01:57, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Mentorship

MARMOT:

As we have agreed, you are to undergo a year of mentorship. You may find your mentorship case at WP:MENTCOM. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 01:47, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

The three mentors will be myself, Karmafist, and Celestianpower. Feel free to ask any of us for help, and know that we will be watching over your contributions. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:25, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Kristin Kreuk

You'll have to be more specific in your edit summaries. Those comments weren't appropriate from a WP:V/WP:NOR standpoint, but in terms of some kind of moral code, please remember that Misplaced Pages isn't censored. Karmafist 16:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

MARMOT has a point. The article is a bit.. well, biased. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 16:56, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

MARMOT is right, there was definately alot of OR in there. I tried to limit it a bit and put in an external link from a third party interview. MARMOT, please feel free to ask me anything. I apologize if I seemed gruff before, I just want to make sure you avoid any issues in the future. Karmafist 18:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

You may wish to review Misplaced Pages:Minor edits. Thanks a lot! Flcelloguy (A note?) 15:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Well the problem is the minor edit is always selected, not intentionally.

A few notes

MARMOT - when you post an arbcom solution based on randomosity and end it with 'problem fucking solved', don't be surprised when you're reverted. Also, sign all comments with ~~~~. Do not post such messages as the Charmed one at WP:AN, instead maybe post it at the Village Pump, and lighten up on the gratuitous swearing. We're not prudes, but when we see 'I shit myself' over and over we tend to get a bit annoyed. Good work on the articles though.

He also added himself to Phroziac's list of vandals . Perhaps I'm overreacting? Anyone know what's going on? -- Curps 19:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I can explain somewhat. I gave him permission to toy with my sandbox. I told him not to vandalize anything. Linuxbeak (drop me a line) 19:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Hmmmmm. Can you ask him what his "Frinelli walker" bot is for? -- Curps 19:48, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
