Tacna Region and War of the Pacific

I would like to have you in a non-official mediation in the above mentioned articles between me and User:Bdean1963. Your contribution can help us to avoid more troubles here in Misplaced Pages. Thanks! Messhermit 01:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Well done on your RfA!

Well done on passing your RfA with 82% support! That's a really good result, you must be pleased. A Bureaucrat will be along shortly to issue you with a shiny new set of admin tools. If you need any assistance in using them then please don't hesitate to ask and I will do my best to answer. Regards and happy mopping, (aeropagitica) 06:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

If you have questions, feel free to leave a talk page message for me or any other admin. Again, congratulations! Essjay (Talk) 07:02, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations. You've earned it. -Will Beback · † · 07:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Congrats Jersey Devil. While you may have found my name in the oppose section, there were enough supporters for me to expect good things from you as an admin; my !vote aside. Again, congratulations. auburnpilot talk 07:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Congrats! Syrthiss 13:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Congrats! If you ever have any questions about how to be a good admin, ask someone else! Ha!--MONGO 16:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, enjoy your promotion. Indeed you have earned it. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 05:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Abhay

You were the admin who closed this discussion, and I am interested to know why Nandini was kept. It certainly looked to me like there was a consensus to delete it? It is half way inbetween a disambiguation page and an article- effectively, it is an article about two things that do not quite deserve articles of their own, and, as far as I am aware, there is no policy allowing such things. J Milburn 10:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see, good call. J Milburn 21:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Peru Edits

User:Jersey Devil, thank you for your intervention, which I respect, although I disagree with your editorial actions, which in my estimation do not adequately reflect the historical record regarding political events in Peru (1980-2007). Your editorial intervention is discouraging, particularly in light of your removal of credible information about recent attacks on the freedom of expression in Peru. I encourage readers to review your claims regarding my conduct on Wikpdeia, specifically the exchanges I have had with User:Messhermit on Peru related issues. Regards, User:Bdean1963. 00:37, 4 February, 2007 (UTC)

Take note that I only reverted in order to maintain the article as it was before the contributions of yourself and Messhermit.--Jersey Devil 00:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I am a person that doesn't like to create troubles for others. I must say that I have done everything to solve this in a civilized way, and I'm sorry to read that you might have to use your powers as an Administrator to radically solve this at some point. For me, this issue is settle once User:Bdean1963 understands once and for all that Misplaced Pages is neither a political forum nor a place to promote his POV. If User:Bdean1963 doesn't end his political persecution against certain political actors of the Peruvian society here in Misplaced Pages or modifying its history, I'm afraid that he is going to keep on going over and over again. In my case, rest assure that I'll keep avoiding troubles. Messhermit 00:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

That's great. I'm all for it. On the other hand I think I already put a request under the "History & Geography" with no results. If you can get the RFC running, then that's good. Messhermit 01:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

You might want to see this , another clear attempt of User:Bdean1963 to push his POV. Is this the kind of attitude that I have (and many here in Misplaced Pages) have to tolerate from this person? I'm deeply concerned that he is actually trying to use Misplaced Pages to promote himself and his political views. Since he was not able to portray his bias in the article of Peru, he is now doing it in the main article Alberto Fujimori. In my opinion, he should be banned from editing that page, since its more than clear that he is obsessed with the former Peruvian President. Messhermit 04:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I am pleased that User:Messhermit is willing to resolve editing disputes regarding Peru related essays. Civil discourse is preferable to the tyranny of intolerant ignorance. I am perplexed by User:Messhermit's refusal to abide by his own words ("In my case, rest assure that I'll keep avoiding troubles" 4 February 2007), as he has just reverted a recent edit I made to the history of Peru section. I look forward to your constructive engagement in the pursuit of knowledge. User:Bdean1963 4 February 2007

I have no complains for your actions. In fact, Jersey Devil, I knew that this was going to happen, but I couldn't just let User:Bdean1963 doing whatever he wants. Thanks for you quick respond and in this particular case, the way that you handled this issue. Now that I'm unblocked, I'm looking forward to work with you in the RFC in the articles of War of the Pacific and Tacna Region. Messhermit 21:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

By the way, both War of the Pacific and Tacna Region are unblocked. Would you kindly revert them to the original state before the Rv "War"? Messhermit 21:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I didn't mean to offend you when I asked you to restore the original article. I simply wanted to avoid another pointless confrontation with User:Bdean1963. Regarding the "Talk Page", I have already made several contributions in both articles' "Talk Page", and I'm still waiting a response form him. You can review it, and see that I'm not getting a response. I already did my part, and I don't know what else to do now. Regarding that Mediation, I was not even aware that he put that: He simply didn't told me about it. Messhermit 02:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

You might want to see this: , I'm away from my computer for 3 days and apparentlyUser:Bdean1963 is once again doing what he wants. Messhermit 04:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

In the dispassionate interest of the advancement of knowledge free from censorship, I respectfully request that User:Messhermit reverts recent edits I have made on the War of the Pacific to accommodate alternative yet balanced points of view to reflect the historical record. User:Bdean1963 13 February, 2007

NPWatcher

Hello. I'd like to use NPWatcher and have added myself to the approvals page, but Martinp23 hasn't approved any users since January 24. Any administrator can approve users, and I noticed that you were online. Would you please add # {{UserVP|WODUP}} to the protected page User:Martinp23/NPWatcher/Checkpage/Users for me? Thank you.

Thank you very much. Wodup 05:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

US Senate

Hello, yes, i'm Kopaitic, that's mi real name, this one is a nick I use for a Blog that i have. Lately I have work in the biography's of some US Senators, and I really like to use "Plantilla" (sorry i always forget the name in english) but in the spanich wikipedia they don't like that sort of thing, for example, i work on a Plantilla for Popes, the same that's in every Pope in here, (it took me a long time to do it) and they dind't let mi use it, so we'll se what happend with de USAsenadores, I hope it wont be remove.--Domingo Portales 18:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Good looking out

Ahh, that's what that was about. Glad to be of any help. – Luna Santin (talk) 22:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Messhermit, Bdean, et. al.

You might want to keep your eye on List of Presidents of Peru, which appears ripe for some major Peru-related flare up between those two. I leave this message on your talk page not to get either of them in "trouble" or whatever with an admin, but because both of them seem to respect you, and you obviously have a great knowledge of Peru-related matters. Hopefully, we can avoid having these toxic relationships spill over into too many articles. --Descendall 17:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not so sure that I would have blocked them, to be honest with you. Messhermit seemed to willing to adopt a respectful tone on the talk page, and Bdean just showed up to the page recently and only added cited material. In any event, Messhermit seems to think that his block was justified (he said that he "can't complain"), and if he can't complain, than neither can I. However, Bdean has asked to be unblocked, and I think that you should at least seriously consider it. You know the rules much better than I do, but I'm not so sure he broke any in this case. --Descendall 05:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, you know the deal better than I do. I'm just looking to come to some sort of consensus on the whole fax thing on List of Peruvian Presidents. Guess we'll have to wait 48 hours. --Descendall 05:54, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I have posted something there. --Descendall 06:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Anthony John Bailey Afd

I saw you added the anons template yesterday, and the admin who said he would keep an eye on proceedings is on a short wikibreak at present. The anon IP editor (who's also editing as 'Seisal' ) has just made this rather dubious edit. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 19:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC) Ignore me, I thought a !vote had been removed, but on second glance my eyes deceived me. One Night In Hackney 19:46, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks but no thanks

Please keep your "warnings" to yourself from now on. I have a right to make good faith edits without having it unilateral reverted by a single over-zealous editor. At least be fair in your "warnings" and give the instigator the same warning to at least give off the perception of objectivity for goodness sakes.Melonbarmonster 04:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah that's quite laughable. You need to count correctly and learn how to use the history page correctly. As the instigator of the revert the other guy would have to violate the 3rr before I would be faced the the decision of passing the 3 mark. Please take your POV crap elsewhere.Melonbarmonster 13:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
