:::And you're not getting the point either. Don't try to turn this around on me. Ever hear of a thing called ]? Seems to me that's the place to discuss admin abuse. If you've got a problem, go ahead and post it. You're defending yourself by trying to place blame on me, which is a normal human defense mechanism and in a sense expected. However, you also a.) e-mail bombed me, b.) were offensive to multiple users, and c.) have violated a temporary injunction four times. I'm telling you: I'm willing to defend you iff you are willing to cough up an apology. Come on IRC and we'll chat. Don't try to pretend you're the victim in this case, Jarlaxle, because you're not. The only chance you have of avoiding a year-long ban is by getting someone on your side, and I'll be honest: I can help you. Don't be stupid by passing up this opportunity, because it won't save you anything by just playing victim. I'm open to discussion, but only if you show any signs of remorse. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. ] | ] | ] 21:30, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

On ], you wrote:
:''You reverted edits that weren't vandalism. You probably reverted a lot of other people's edits that weren't vandalism as well, but you can get away with it because you're an admin. I'm just a lowly user.''
I think you misunderstand how Misplaced Pages works. As stated on ], "Administrators are not imbued with any special ''authority'', and are equal to everybody else in terms of editorial responsibility." Thus ] is not "getting away" with anything. He's just as accountable as anyone else here and is answerable for his actions via ] and/or ]. (Feel free to instigate a case against him if you feel it is necessary.) Administrators are simply those editors elected by the community to perform housekeeping tasks. Any editor can become an administrator with the support of the community; feel free to nominate yourself at ]. After all, you're already listed as a prospective candidate at ]. —] 13:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

== Tasks at hand ==


== New and improved ==
Jarlaxle:


From my talk page:
As part of your unbanning and probationary agreement, this is the list of tasks that you are to complete.

*Partner with a mentor from Mediation/Mentorship
*A formal apology given to Linuxbeak, Psychonaut, Anthere, NicholasT and anyone else who you may have caused harm
*Repair any damage caused by acts of sockpuppetry/impersonation on other Wikis - Specifically, Encyclopedia Dramatica.
*A probationary period for as long as your defunct ArbCom case originally had set as the penal period (one year)

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. ] (that's ] 06:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

:Is it stipulated that these tasks are to be completed before JarlaxleArtemis begins to edit articles and other Misplaced Pages pages? If not, how long does he have to complete these tasks before he is considered to be in violation of his probationary agreement? And how will the mentors/administrators determine whether he has, in fact, identified all sockpuppet and impersonation accounts? Will IP checks be run on accounts suspected of being controlled by him? —] 23:30, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

== Mentorship ==
Hi Jarlaxle,

As part of our unbanning agreement, you have been assigned to mentorship. Please see ]. Thanks, ] (that's ] to you) 01:38, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

== Welcome back ==

Jarlaxle, I just want to say welcome back. I'm glad your ban has been lifted, and I hope everything works out well. Regards, ] ] 22:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

==Greetings from the ]==
Hi, I am one of your ]s. Since you also think "Paramount<sup>©</sup> are a bunch of a****** to cancel Star Trek: Enterprise", I think we can get along well. You know how to contact me :) --] ] 23:41, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

== Hello there, buddy! ==

Hello there, it's Spum here. I've been assigned to you as a mentor, so if you need any help, feel free to message me either on IRC, Jabber, or the WikiPedia. As part of your mentorship i am here to make sure you're not up to your old tricks, whilst at the same time, i'm here to welcome you back to the wikipedia and I sincerely hope that you will be able to go back to making contributions , and become a part of the community.

Hey, we all make mistakes, it's how we correct hose mistakes when we're given a second chance that matters! So, enjoy yourself, and hope to see some good contributions as before from you.

Regards,
]


== Recent edits' formatting ==

I realize you've been gone a while: in the interim, there is consensus on the "External Links" vs. "External links" (that's why Bluebot is allowed to go around fixing them); specifically, it's been decided () that "External links" will exclusively be used. --] ] ] 05:17, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

:I see. I'm disappointed by that consensus. Except for articles ( ie. ''the''), conjunctions, prepositions, and possibly some other word categories, the words in headings are supposed to be capitalized. ] 05:23, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

::... You might want to look at the capitalization section, then. --] ] ] 05:26, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

== We need to talk. ==

Hi Jarlaxle,

We need to talk, preferably over AIM. Some sockpuppets from your area are turning up and they are still being disruptive. I do not think you would be so daft as to continue with your previous activities, but I want to make sure. Some members of the ArbCom have expressed some skepticism in your return, and I do not want them to think that these socks are of your own doing. I'm sorry that I have to keep a check on you like this, but I'm sure you can understand my frustration.

Take care, and don't forget your assignments.

Regards, ] (that's ] to you) 21:32, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

== Not a hoax ==

Would you believe that ] is actually ''not'' a hoax? Check out ]. ] 22:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

:Interesting. ] 03:23, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

== Unbanning requirements ==

Hello, Jarlaxle.

I previously mentioned that I wouldn't give you any specific timescale on your unbanning, however, it has been a while since you were unbanned. As such, I am now giving you an assignment. The written apology that you agreed to as part of your unbanning will be due no later than December 15th at 00:00 UTC. A late submission will be allowed, but you will be banned from editing starting at December 15th with the exception of your user space.

Thank you for your cooperation. So far you have proven to be under control. ] (that's ] to you) 02:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

== Forgotten Realms Project ==

Hi,

We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.

The goal is to create a sort of ] for the Realms. This means:
* A consistent content
* Use of templates
* Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the ].

On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as ] or ] and, of course, ]

* The project is located ]
* The ] is a good start to get a visual of had been done, as well as the ] entry.

Main contributors are presently
* ]
* ]

Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! ] to ] 12:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

== Phobias ==

Please read the ] article carefully and don't add phobias about whoch there is nothing specific to say beyond dictionary definition. Please add them to ]. You may want to expand the ], startind from categorizing phobias from].

You may also want to read ] and other discussion. ] ] 02:19, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Once again: as with any other lists in wikipedia, like ], ], etc., to list something, you must prove its notability. The ] article spells it. Please don't pump coinages that don't have significant usage. Note: references from ] psycho websites don't count. They collect everything that floats on net. ] ] 06:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

You wrote: there is plenty of dicdefs, and several more will not hurt. Well. I am working carefully weeding out bullshit from the page. Ideally all from the bottom list must either go or move up, into solid section. But I am realistic and dont' delete everything just because they don't have articles yet. Most of what's left are common phobias with chance to have an article. Please, don't add helpless terms that cannot go beyond dicdef. ] ] 06:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

== Image tags ==

When are you going to cleanup your image tags? I've been asking you about this for a year now. Unless I hear from you I'm going to start marking them for deletion. -] 02:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

:Sorry, I never realized that my image tags were dirty. ] 03:13, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

::Yes, they are naughty and incorrect. We've lready been over the problems many times, so I assume you know what to do. Thakns for helping out. -] 06:38, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

:Just to chime in, the main problem I see is lack of source, and under current rules that forces deletion in seven days. You may notice that some of the images in your gallery have already been deleted, so the process is underway. ] 18:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

== -phobia ==

"Listed in a textbook": ...and in a hundred of other places. Good luck for them there. ] is the place for them. ] ] 01:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

==Userbox==

Which one? I've made a few different ones. If you mean the most recent, more power to you. ] 06:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
:That's what I thought. Just made it because I was about two seconds from flaming ] with the very fires of Hell a couple minutes ago. Restrained myself for the sole reason that he's an admin on a power abuse spree and I don't care to push quite that hard. ] 06:07, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Don't mean to pry, but I can't help but notice that you aren't using the template. ;) ] 01:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

::Like I give a damn, you fucking robot. And anyway, moving pages is not a violation of Arbcom. The only thing I violated was editing my own article. ] 22:17, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
== Question... ==
:::I wasn't aware that you "owned" any articles here. If you don't intend for your contributions to be edited by others, then you may want to reconsider participating on Misplaced Pages. —] 10:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC)


::Also, Linuxbeak is a major hypocrite. I thought that personal attacks were not allowed on Misplaced Pages. Maybe I was wrong. Look at the block he made on 18:31, August 27, 2005: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Linuxbeak&page=. ] 22:28, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

:::Jarlaxle, Linuxbeak was well within his rights to summarize the block reason as "bitch" for Love Virus and reincarnations of it such as the User: with the invisible name.

You know something, Jarlaxle, it's disappointing you didn't take up my offer to hop onto IRC and try to hash it out with me. It's too late now; I'm not going to make so much as an attempt to save your rear from the fire. You needed an ally, Jarlaxle, and I was willing to offer help. Instead, you more or less ignored my proposition. Good luck getting out of this mess solo. ] | ] | ] 13:28, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
Hi, the move from ] -> ] created a few double redirects which should be fixed, please see ]. ] 03:38, 2 January 2006 (UTC)


:What mess? This is just some stupid website. I don't give a damn if they ban me. You should all be grateful for all that I have contributed. I don't see Linuxbeak contributing a thing. Almost all of his edits are reverts. ] 22:44, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

::So Linuxbeak doesn't ? I see. ] | ] 10:02, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
I've just deleted your recent redirects, which were displayed as a standalone question mark character. Please review ] for my reasoning. -- ] 06:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
::JarlaxleArtemis, if you think that Misplaced Pages is just a stupid website and don't care if you're banned, then you could do us all a favour and simply stop contributing to it. I acknowledge that you have made many helpful edits, but your failure to abide by policies set by the community, and in particular your exposure of Misplaced Pages and yourself to legal action through your harrassment, libelous remarks, and blatant disregard for copyright, are very disruptive. You've furthermore demonstrated an inability to learn to abide by these policies and to control your temper. So honestly, if Misplaced Pages isn't that important for you, please just stop contributing to it and find another project more commensurate with your skills and abilities. &mdash;] 15:00, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
:::Psychonaut has a point. There is no question that you have made more than your share of helpful edits, especially in the realm of fantasy. However, I will once again dispense of the diplomacy and tell you the solid facts: you've made some piss-poor decisions on this encyclopedia. While you have been an active editor, you have also made life incredibly difficult for those who have had to perform damage control on your disruptive edits as well as those who have had to monitor your actions. That's not helping anyone, and time and energy that is wasted making sure you're staying in line could be put to better use creating and editing articles and doing what Misplaced Pages is all about: making an encyclopedia. I suggest you find yourself a better outlet for both your anger and your abilities, because Misplaced Pages doesn't need editors who make life difficult. ] | ] | ] 17:54, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

userpage discussions

Hi, I see you left a note with Jvian already about your userpage. I left both of them a note and moved their discussions to their talk pages. I left the one that you left originally, just rv'd the two latest ones. They were moved to User talk:Jvian & User talk:Eduardo Cuellar respectively. I just wanted to give you a heads up on what I did. Cheers. ∞Who?¿? 08:33, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Actually, it was a "friendly vandal" who came through and tweaked the layout. It's always looked fine on my screen! :-) I'm not up for going around and doing rigorous testing on different setups, so I suppose I should simplify it. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Nomen nudum

You marked nomen nudum for speedy deletion. But the article was in fact quite correct. Please take more care. Gdr 15:37:18, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

At the time, it was patent nonsense. ‡ Jarlaxle 20:17, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

No, it wasn't. The revision you marked for speedy deletion was quite correct, as a simple Google search would have told you. Gdr 21:42:33, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

Oops. My mistake. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:50, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the Welcome

I don't need to say anything else ... nice to be welcomed, thank you. WP can be a place of overwhelming "cliqueness", where sensible edits are instantly removed by "members" for no legitimate reason other than the poster is not a member. I will work to change that, and my undesireable activities will cease shortly, once I have had enough fun with certain members.

Thanks again. oops --Zippydeedoodah 22:15, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Dambrath

Thank you for the modifications on Dambrath :-) Reply to David Latapie 11:32, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

No problem. ‡ Jarlaxle 17:48, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Problems with font

Hi there, I saw your complaint on the am.wiki, I haven't actually tried the solution on that page so I can't vouch for that one, but there is another solution you can link to from the Main Page, just look for the English words "Can't see the font?" and try that method...

If that doesn't work, it could be a Unicode issue with your windows or browser system...

Regards, Codex Sinaiticus 15:54, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. ‡ Jarlaxle 23:42, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

Temporary Injunction Violation

You have, for the fourth time, violated your temporary injunction as outlined in your RFAr case. You have been blocked for one week and your illegal edits reverted. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 15:47, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

I haven't violated anything. It says I can't edit articles, which I haven't. I have edited discussion pages. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:51, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
So this would be a discussion page? As far as I can tell, it's an article. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 23:19, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
Oh, I forgot about that. Well, I fixed an interwiki link. Big deal. ‡ Jarlaxle 23:43, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

Sandbot malfunction

That was caused by a page move. Please be aware that Sandbot is a valid bot, and any concerns over hiccups and such should be directed to my user talk page. Thank you. --AllyUnion (talk) 23:10, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

About translating

Hello, you welcomed me the other day and I thank you.

But I have a question about style in the Misplaced Pages and I didn't found in the Manual of Style, and I don't know where to ask someone else, so you are the one closest.

Right now I'm working on a project to have info about bands from Latin America in the Misplaced Pages, but I don't know where I should translate and where not, can you explain me?

Should I translate the name of the band? I saw some bands with their names translated, but I also saw others without it translated.

Should I translate the name of the albums and songs of the band? I haven't seen any bands with this translated, but in the articles I made I translated them.

Thank you very much and sorry for bothering, and sorry for forgeting about signing my message. --Nicanor5 23:18, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Revert button

So sue me. Give me a good reason why the revert button is used strictly for vandalism. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 21:04, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Better yet, come on IRC (irc.freenode.net #wikipedia) and discuss it with me face to face. Or would you rather just coward out and post my e-mail address and let :other people fight your wars? Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 21:13, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
And if you read the original post from here , it was being discussed with edit wars, not strictly vandalism. The suggestion is that it is only used for vandalism, but there is no wrong with using it to revert illegal edits. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 21:17, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
And you're not getting the point either. Don't try to turn this around on me. Ever hear of a thing called WP:RFC? Seems to me that's the place to discuss admin abuse. If you've got a problem, go ahead and post it. You're defending yourself by trying to place blame on me, which is a normal human defense mechanism and in a sense expected. However, you also a.) e-mail bombed me, b.) were offensive to multiple users, and c.) have violated a temporary injunction four times. I'm telling you: I'm willing to defend you iff you are willing to cough up an apology. Come on IRC and we'll chat. Don't try to pretend you're the victim in this case, Jarlaxle, because you're not. The only chance you have of avoiding a year-long ban is by getting someone on your side, and I'll be honest: I can help you. Don't be stupid by passing up this opportunity, because it won't save you anything by just playing victim. I'm open to discussion, but only if you show any signs of remorse. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 21:30, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
And if you haven't noticed, your ArbCom case is getting really close to the grindstone. Either show some signs of redemption or I will continue my efforts in seeing you off of this encyclopedia. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 21:32, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Adminship

On User talk:Linuxbeak, you wrote:

You reverted edits that weren't vandalism. You probably reverted a lot of other people's edits that weren't vandalism as well, but you can get away with it because you're an admin. I'm just a lowly user.

I think you misunderstand how Misplaced Pages works. As stated on Misplaced Pages:Administrators, "Administrators are not imbued with any special authority, and are equal to everybody else in terms of editorial responsibility." Thus Linuxbeak is not "getting away" with anything. He's just as accountable as anyone else here and is answerable for his actions via RFC and/or Arbitration. (Feel free to instigate a case against him if you feel it is necessary.) Administrators are simply those editors elected by the community to perform housekeeping tasks. Any editor can become an administrator with the support of the community; feel free to nominate yourself at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship. After all, you're already listed as a prospective candidate at Misplaced Pages:List of non-admins with high edit counts. —Psychonaut 13:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

You just want me to start an RFC, Arbitration, or Request for Adminship so you can further humor me. ‡ Jarlaxle 19:14, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

New and improved

From my talk page:

Lord Voldemort How's that for a signature? ‡ Jarlaxle 19:41, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

It's not too bad, except I like having a bigger link for my talk page. I'll stick with what I have for the time being, but may opt for something more like your suggestion in the future. Cheers. --Lord Voldemort 19:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Temporary injunction violation #5

JarlaxleArtemis, I note that for the fifth time you are breaking the terms of your temporary injunction on editing articles unrelated to your arbitration proceedings ( ). I have made a note of this on the Administrators' noticeboard. —Psychonaut 09:38, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

As such, you have been blocked for one week, as authorized by the ArbCom. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 14:13, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
Like I give a damn, you fucking robot. And anyway, moving pages is not a violation of Arbcom. The only thing I violated was editing my own article. ‡ Jarlaxle 22:17, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
I wasn't aware that you "owned" any articles here. If you don't intend for your contributions to be edited by others, then you may want to reconsider participating on Misplaced Pages. —Psychonaut 10:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
Also, Linuxbeak is a major hypocrite. I thought that personal attacks were not allowed on Misplaced Pages. Maybe I was wrong. Look at the block he made on 18:31, August 27, 2005: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Linuxbeak&page=. ‡ Jarlaxle 22:28, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
And furthermore, does Linuxbeak have any proof that this lengthened block is authorized by the ArbCom? ‡ Jarlaxle 22:36, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
Jarlaxle, Linuxbeak was well within his rights to summarize the block reason as "bitch" for Love Virus and reincarnations of it such as the User: with the invisible name. That wasn't a personal attack because the user wasn't a person, it was a highspeed vandalbot. (I helped clean up some of its page creations.) Best wishes, Bishonen | talk 22:48, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
Proof? Like, coming from Raul654 himself? Sure. I'll get right to it. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 22:50, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
While the arbcom never explicetely stated how Jarlaxle was to be punished for violating the injunction, blocking him for a week is a perfectly reasonable response. →Raul654 06:40, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
Agreed. I see no problem.
James F. (talk) 08:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

You know something, Jarlaxle, it's disappointing you didn't take up my offer to hop onto IRC and try to hash it out with me. It's too late now; I'm not going to make so much as an attempt to save your rear from the fire. You needed an ally, Jarlaxle, and I was willing to offer help. Instead, you more or less ignored my proposition. Good luck getting out of this mess solo. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 13:28, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

What mess? This is just some stupid website. I don't give a damn if they ban me. You should all be grateful for all that I have contributed. I don't see Linuxbeak contributing a thing. Almost all of his edits are reverts. ‡ Jarlaxle 22:44, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
So Linuxbeak doesn't contribute a thing? I see. Bishonen | talk 10:02, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
JarlaxleArtemis, if you think that Misplaced Pages is just a stupid website and don't care if you're banned, then you could do us all a favour and simply stop contributing to it. I acknowledge that you have made many helpful edits, but your failure to abide by policies set by the community, and in particular your exposure of Misplaced Pages and yourself to legal action through your harrassment, libelous remarks, and blatant disregard for copyright, are very disruptive. You've furthermore demonstrated an inability to learn to abide by these policies and to control your temper. So honestly, if Misplaced Pages isn't that important for you, please just stop contributing to it and find another project more commensurate with your skills and abilities. —Psychonaut 15:00, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Psychonaut has a point. There is no question that you have made more than your share of helpful edits, especially in the realm of fantasy. However, I will once again dispense of the diplomacy and tell you the solid facts: you've made some piss-poor decisions on this encyclopedia. While you have been an active editor, you have also made life incredibly difficult for those who have had to perform damage control on your disruptive edits as well as those who have had to monitor your actions. That's not helping anyone, and time and energy that is wasted making sure you're staying in line could be put to better use creating and editing articles and doing what Misplaced Pages is all about: making an encyclopedia. I suggest you find yourself a better outlet for both your anger and your abilities, because Misplaced Pages doesn't need editors who make life difficult.
