I partly agree and partly disagree with the first sentence. I am sure that he has an understanding of why he was put on probation. Maybe he understands it as a bad-faith action by the CABAL, or as the result of the arbitrators not understanding how important his reverts and comments are. As to the second sentence, he won't learn anything from probation, but it is not necessarily wasted. If he engages in uncivil conduct, can admins block him? If so, the probation is a useful way to free the arbitrators from having to consider the case yet again. ] 16:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

::I re-read the RfAr. You are correct. The remedy is not fashioned in the same way as personal attack parole, and ZenMaster was not placed on personal attack parole. I agree with you that the remedy has teeth, but really needs a good carnassial shear that can draw enough blood to stop the disruption. ] 19:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

::Zen-master asks a valid question, which is what he is doing that I consider disruptive. The answer is asking a lot of negative questions about why Misplaced Pages processes are so imperfect without any constructive effort to improve them. The purpose of Misplaced Pages is to produce a product, an on-line encyclopedia. This makes it an electronic workplace. I work for a large company that produces information technology systems, which are products. If I were to say that the company's business processes were flawed, I would be asked to suggest how the business processes should be improved, and I would do that. I would hope that my comments would then be seriously considered, whether or not they were acted on. I don't see Zen-master doing that. He appears to be saying "Misplaced Pages processes suck." Maybe they do, but if so, either work on the product instead, or address how to make the processes stop sucking. ] 20:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Using negative labels such as "disruptive" has often been used to thwart a serious consideration and investigation of criticism. Before a new course of action can be determined in many cases it's good to prove the existence of a problem. I just suggested on the ] page that everyone should be encouraged to archive subsections rather than delete to history. It seems Fred Bauder, a member of the arbitration commitee, has gotten into the (bad) habit of deleting to history rather than archiving which is how I noticed the page wasn't being properly archived. It's separately interesting Fred deleted to history something that was "maybe not answered". ] ] 20:29, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Woohookitty. I'd just like to explain my removal of the {{template|protected}} tag on ] yesterday. I saw the tag while checking a recent edit, and noticed the page was not protected at the time. Without checking the edit history to see who added the tag, I assumed it had been added by a new user who thought he/she could "protect" the page simply by adding the tag. If I'd known you had added the tag, and that you intended to protect the page, I wouldn't have removed the tag. I hope my edit didn't cause any problems for you. Thanks for taking action to stop the edit war. ] (] <small>], ], ], <font color="green">]</font> ]</small>) 20:51, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm completely flummoxed. This guy has got to be on an AOL proxy. I keep blocking him and he keeps on coming back. Any idea how to block the IP range? - ] 03:12, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, that's right. Thanks. Trouble is, I can't access the IP since he's coming in via sockpuppet accounts. I left word on the admin noticeboard. You da bestest and you should know that we are thinking of replacing our dearly departed dog with a couple of kittens. Might just name one "Woohoo!" - ] 03:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't use IRC, but Kelly is one great user over here and I'll leave word with her if this clown doesn't go away. Regarding cat names: One will likely be named "Biscuit" since my wife always wanted a cat named Biscuit. I chose "Waffle" for the other just because I ''love'' that idiotic cartoon character by the same name on the ] TV series. Kinda goes good with Biscuit, too. - ] 03:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

LOL! My dog, God bless her, was named...Lucky. Never admitted that my user name was partially inspired by a pooch! - ] 04:40, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


== Perl script to separate red and blue links for ] ==

I am currently looking for help (a perl script) to parse and separate red and blue links for various lists at ]. I have made a request at ], but it has languished for over a week. There was a ] that does some of what we need it to do developed by ], but it only works on a few of the many lists we are currently working on. Specifically I'm looking for something that would separate and sort a list like this:

# ] Comment about link 1 with link to ]]
#:Nested comment about link
#::Second nested comment
*Wrongly nested comment
#] Notice space has been removed
#]] Malformed links with

#] Renumbering because of space
# ]
# ]

into a list like this

'''Red links'''
#] Notice space has been removed
#]] Malformed links with
#] Renumbering because of space
'''Blue links'''
# ] Comment about link 1 with link to ]]
#:Nested comment about link
#::Second nested comment
#::<s>Wrongly</s> Fixed nested comment
# ]
# ]

This is a worst case example. The current script works well, but it evaluates link by link, not line by line and so ] about the link would be removed.

See ] for more comments.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. --'']'' (])&bull; 22:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

== Talk on my page... well may mention your name. ==

The talk on my user page mentions your name. But don't worry I don't think we have any issues, right? I'm not planning anything against you. I just wanted to check out your adminship votes. Actually I wanted to see Neutrality's votes... --] 04:40, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

== Thank You ==

Don't know if it is appropriate, but thank you. This (vis ]) was my first time having to do this, and I was surprised at how fast the action was. Thank you for what is obviously lots of work on WP. And no, I'm not trying to curry favor :-) -- ] 06:25, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

== Advice on unprotection ==

I protected ] a while back and have discussed, and semi-strong armed a compromise of sorts on the article. Jason Gastrich kept his Notable Alumni list, and the .edu discussion was remained deleted (as I see it as inconsequential)... but on the flip side I kept the "Diploma mill (allegations)" (i added that) and "Dissertations" (with some tweaks by me) sections put in by WarriorScribe along with others which cause the edit warring in the first place. I have "resolved" the issue(s) which lead to the initial protection, but I'm confident edit warring will resume (albeit hopefully on sentences and tone, rather than entire sections) once I unprotect it. I'm under the impression now that I'm involved and have edited the article, I can no longer protect it. If so, apart from banning people in enforcement of the 3RR and requesting protection from another Admin... what can I do to maintain the integrity of the article and try to keep some constructive momentum? - ]] <sup>]</sup> 06:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
