== Bluebore ...sigh ==


:Sigh...I agree with Bluebore. This small issue has once again been blown out of proportion by Cyborg Ninja and the success she has achieved by being th messenger between Bluebore and PalanceGuard and the support, as they saw it, by your taking sides. If they will just stop talking about it I am more than happy to do so. It is a petty issue. I long ago conceded their copy/paste tactics worked despite policy. I is clear there is nothing I can do. I do not expect fairness. Lets drop it. I have been given a long list of anti-wikipedia links, and I think I will take my energies there. I have head those links are much more rewarding that these small minded preoccupations incouraged by admins who love wielding power. --] 03:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


==More sighing==
:Please ask him to just drop it. No one else beside you, Cyborg Ninja, Blueboar and PalacGuard008 is interested.


:I have asked you to clarify exactly what I did wrong, as PlalaceGuard008 and Blueboar are prolonging this and continuing it. Since I do not know what I did wrong I would appreciate an explanation. When Cyborg Ninja gets back in the ring (it is she who filled the mediation) then it is likely to escalate further. Please explain specifically what I did wrong (not diffs of long paragraphs where I cannot tell if you are saying if anything I said was O.K. in your eyes or only certain portions. I need specifics. If a do not understand, then a real mess has been created, the outcome of your actions is waiting in the wings. Surely you will get involved in the mediation as you are a major factor now, due to your taking sides. Perhaps there you will provide the specifics, as the links you have given so far will not be considered helpful.


:I will also explain that I spent one year on Misplaced Pages as a "nice" person always being polite and doing the right thing. That netted me pobably 15 t0 20 ANI complaints, got me labeled as a proven sock puppet (rediculous) and had me banned several times. This year, after the sock puppet ring after me returned and I realized that I would not get any help, I decided on the nasty approach. Unfortunately, the nasty approach works better. This is my first ban this year, and I do not think it is well substantiated. You still have not pointed out specific examples. Giving diffs to very long paragraphs is not helpful. Are you meaning every word I wrote in those long paragraphs were uncivil. Perhaps if I knew what you meant I would be in a better situation regarding understanding this. Now, I have no idea what you are talking about, as so much uncivil and personal attacks have been directed a me that do not count in you eyes. How can I tell the difference?

Hi. You might recall the business between myself and G2bambino, back in August, and my consequent making of a as a means of dealing with talk-page harassment. That sub-page has just been nominated for deletion. Whereas you were a witness to its making, and to the circumstances of and reasons for that making, I hope that you will comment at the . You seemed, at the time, to understand the page's worth and usefulness. If so, and if that remains your opinion, I hope you will support its keeping. So far, it seems to have discouraged further spiteful posts on my talk-page, and I wish that to carry on, as the least troublesome ways of handling such nuisances.

== Your block and more == == Oh my! ==
You continue to become involved in issues over Mattisse whenever she notifies you, though I and you yourself have noted that because of your previous involvement over the ] article, you may have a conflict of interest. As for the supposed "personal attack," Mattisse was talking about herself and I commented on how I didn't know they let "old ladies" on oil rigs. Mattisse referred to herself as a grandmother in the past. Calling someone "old" and a "lady" is inoffensive. If I called someone a "hag" or "on their death bed," then you would have a point. But unfortunately, nothing occurred here except your inability to properly manage your job at Misplaced Pages. Your ignorance of my attempts at mediating the arguments over the ] article and past attempts in helping Mattisse over ] and psychiatry is disappointing. I would hope that someone of your position would accumulate a background of knowledge before taking such drastic attempts of warning and blocking other members. Also, your arbitrary decisions while ignoring evidence of the other party's violations is repulsive for me to see on a site such as Misplaced Pages. I hope that a formal review of your conduct will be undertaken, and in the meantime I will assemble evidence of improper conduct on both your part and Mattisse's on behalf of the populous of Wikipedians. - ] 23:43, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

::Doubtless I have had many Cornish name source books over the years, any of which may have contained an entry for Carleen... but none now close to hand.

Can you take a look at User:Hereinindy to see if that user is a sockpuppet? All the edits by that user are recent and vandalism. What's interesting, however, is that the edits were done with an obvious knowledge of WP. He/she uses templates, uses WP terminology (i.e., dab), includes misleading edit summaries, etc. The editor is almost certainly an experienced WP editor but the short edit history indicates the user was created for the purposes of vandalism.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==
==Block of Academy Leader==


Hello,
Less, I am more than a little disappointed that you chose to issue me a warning, rather than attempting to discuss the disagreement first. The warning is a statement that you believe you are right and I am wrong. That's no way to begin a discussion. Considering that I had reviewed the 530 contributions of Academy Leader, and you had not looked at the matter yet, you might not have had as clear a picture as I did. Please look at the wording of ] and you will see that the behavior of Academy Leader qualified as a bad hand sock puppet. He has another account in good standing that he is free to use. I hope this disagreement between us can be resolved informally. I have appreciated your perspectives in the past, and felt like this warning was hasty and uncharacteristic. If you refactor your remarks, I will be pleased to adjust mine accordingly. - ] <sup>]</sup> 16:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

SEMI-RETIRED This user is no longer very active on Misplaced Pages.
If you leave a message here this editor will possibly reply... as I still have notification enabled. I, however, am semi retired and would be very grateful for anyone who is not requiring my assistance on a previous matter, or not making a social visit, to give all due accord to the notice at the top of the page and this notice and abstain from bothering me. Such irritations may garner a response that could be less than cordial... please be gentle. or responding to a request/comment generated by me, to gently pass on by without disturbing the equilibrium.
Mark

Of course, your name is noted on your Userpage - but I only checked that just a moment ago; I was never one that thought it necessary to check the sources before committing to publish... as you might remember! LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:19, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Oh my!

I had no idea you were still - or again - kicking around here. Good to see you! (Of course I see you in that other place too but seeing LessHeard vanU is a treat!) I wonder how the old gang are doing. Stay well! Tvoz/talk 02:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Heya! I read the 'pedia for fun these days, and hit random article when I have a few minutes to spare. If I see something I can improve - like an USA article that neglects to mention that it is such - then I do a little edit. I log in to take responsibility for it. I have a few pages I still keep a watch on, as well. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:45, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

So you are popping your head in once in a while. Glad to see that. Always good to see a member of the Editor's Hall of Fame around. :-) Hope you and yours are well Mark. — Ched (talk) 19:54, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

More in response to the Precious Anniversary posts, but under this heading because reasons. While the deaths are sad and deleterious to the project, it is inevitable. However, the stupidity resulting in the cessation of RexxS contributions provokes a response more in the nature of exasperation. LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:03, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Carleen source?

Hallo Mark, I am delighted to see that you are still occasionally editing, as my enquiry relates to an article you created in 2006!

You created Carleen, which in 2009 was turned into a redirect to Breage. Today there was some discussion about Carleen (disambiguation) which included mention of "when the place in Wales became a redirect", and I followed up out of curiosity and created a page for Carleen again over that redirect.

Your original stub gave the name derivation, but with no ref. Have you got a source for that? (I imagine a book of Cornish place-name origins beside your desk, optimistically). Please add it to the article, sourced, if you can. Thanks. PamD 22:50, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Doubtless I have had many Cornish name source books over the years, any of which may have contained an entry for Carleen... but none now close to hand. Most publications are local, and are unlikely to qualify as reliable sources. WP:OR will provide you with the name; "Car" meaning 'fort' or more likely 'defendable dwelling/place' and "Leen" (or "lene" or "lean") meaning 'Stone(y)', which is likely how the various authors have come to the translation. If ever I find anything which seems like a peer reviewed book or website I will endeavour to include it. LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:06, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
