The questions that just has to be asked

I'm sorry but I have to ask this "Do you really lie awake all night wondering if there is a dog?". Oh I'm sorry, that was the Dyslexic insomniac agnostic.

Comic book covers

Hi. Right now you are rendering copyright-infringing images in your userspace. In order to discuss unfree images, you can insert a colon after the two opening square brackets (like this Image:Copyrighted image.jpg) to point to an image without rendering it. According to Misplaced Pages's fair use policy, copyright-infringing images that we claim fair use on cannot be used in userspace. Thanks for understanding. Jkelly 18:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't blaming you, which is why I went to the bother of explaining the colon thing above. That's what I do when someone renders an image in my userspace that they want to discuss but shouldn't be rendered there. Thanks for taking care of it, and happy editing.

Pagemove vandalism

Hello. Don't commit pagemove vandalism. Thank you. -- Curps 05:45, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

The only thing I can suggest is, try to follow the steps in Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution, or if you feel it's serious enough you could take it to Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. At the moment unfortunately I'm not able to investigate, too many other time commitments at the moment, sorry. -- Curps 05:51, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Metaseries

I'm too tired for a substantive rewrite of the section you added to metaseries, but I'd like to point out Age of Apocalypse (1994, I mentioned this when I drew your attention to the term on Talk:Maxiseries) and the (unfinished) Jack Kirby's Fourth World (early 1970s) as non-recent metaseries.

You also appear to be conflating Fictional crossover and metaseries. Given the reality-shift buisness and the fact that the tie-ins generally have their own plots unrelated to the core plot other than taking place in the HoM fictional universe, I'd probably give you HoM as a metaseries, even though it's a crossover too; but the whole Countdown/Infinite Crisis event is a straight crossover, even if it includes minis specifically created for the crossover. - SoM 00:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Ignoring other users

Hi; if you find particular people are getting you down, just ignore them and go and do something else completely unrelated. If they start following you around then it's a clear personal attack / wikistalking and can be dealt with by others. Come and join the fact checking at a much slower and more peaceful pace, for example. Or press the random button until you find something interesting, or ... there's lots of other stuff.

Page mergers

When you merge information from one article to another, you should indicate which article the information has been merged from so as to keep intact the edit history, which is important as it forms part of the licence under which Misplaced Pages is written. For more information please see Misplaced Pages:Merge. I also note you have archived the poll I created and which was still garnering opinion, and you have moved, well I'm not sure what on earth the page was called by now. Please do not move the page again, as previous moves have meant that the edit gistory is so badly magled I am no longer sure what pages need merging back together. Moving a page is a very bold move and since we are still attempting to build consensus on the best way forward, I would appreciate it if you could leave all pages related to the concepts limited series, minseries and maxiseries where they currently stand. Steve block talk 18:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. I always move talk pages with the article. Some of the page moves by T-Man he did by creating new pages and shifting the contents. I won't be making further moves, as we have only two pages now, "limited series (comics)" and "list of limited series". Dyslexic agnostic 18:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

No, we also have List of limited maxiseries, the page history of which belongs to either of the two pages you mentioned before, List of l maxiseries and List of maxiseries. I am also unclear as to why we need limited series (comics) when limnited series] redirects to it. Policy states that in such instances the limited series (comics) should be moved to Limited series, although that is something no-one should attempt until I work out which pages should have what history. Can you remember what information you merged into Limited series (comics), and where it came from, and if so, could you paste a messgae on the talk page of Limited series (comics) explaining that. Can you please also explain to me why you have archived the straw poll? Steve block talk 19:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Limited series links

Aye, thanks for the help, much appreciated. Although keep in mind WP:ES, it's always wise to have something in there, even if you just CTRL-V a cut and paste statement like fixing limited series link. But thanks, it was appreciated. Steve block talk 21:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Leaving

Hey, DA, don't leave. I won't get sappy or anything, but I appreciate your edits and I think your a good part of the wikipedia community. If you need a break, by all means take one. Just come back when your done. --Gillespee 00:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC) P.S. I didn't spend all that time looking up T-man's and your first appearances at certain articles to prove you weren't wikistalking just so you could quit. Hope to see you soon.

• Seconded :) You're a good contributor rst20xx 22:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

advocacy

are you free for some advocacy help? --CyclePat 04:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Well... This might be a feisty case to start with. I need some help. I need to know if I'm off the wall in the debate that is currently happening at motorized bicycle. Otherwise I need your support. I am having issues with WP:CITE and some possible WP:POV, as well as WP:V toward the content. For the last two days we (user:JzG) and I, have been arguing to the point where the article has been locked. User:JzG seems to have gathered some support from some of his fellow administrators. User:JzG is a new administrator and may have abuse his power. I think that there are problems in the article which I elaborated on my to do list. (meanful, User:JzG changed the title to something like futile list. We obviously aren't getting along. And (On one side they have a strong belief that I am pushing some agenda of mine (my company deals with motorized bicycle, but 90% of the time I'm actually at University, but that entire subject shouldn't matter) He has even removed a video that I added. I've been trying to solve this problem and think of a way to solve it but he just keeps shooting me down with stupid WP:NPA and comments like "where were you when the article first started." I need someone to help me out with my at least prove that their is a dispute. (They seem to fail to even recognize that their is a dispute) Anyway... I have an icky situation of NPOV and the article is lacking in citations. Perhaps a third opinion (or a call for a third opinion may be appropriate here... perhaps you may suggest that!) I also need someone to support my ideas. Do you think you might be able to clarify a couple of my questions with the little information I gave? --CyclePat 04:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Cool, so what do you advocate for in the real world? I'm trying to advocate electric bicycle when I have the time and I just went to a meeting tonight at the http://www.evco.ca and got some good information that may be added to the article but unfortunatelly because of the current dispute it won't happen tonight.--CyclePat 04:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind comments. I have dreamth and worked so much in law and advocating my provincial government (Ontario, Canada) for the use of electric bicycle on road. Actually the new information that I want to put in is in regards to the new bill that was passed, thanks in part to our organization and everyone that sent letters, and questions... and petitions. I can definitely empathise in the work you. (depending what field of course you work in!) I will take your advice though on creating the userfied version.

However, of course I would have to remain neutral, and it would be in the section of electric bicycle laws so I think I'll be okay for that. No matter the case. Perhaps later on I will be able to pursuade you to advocate for me when the issues are cooled down a little and when get to the near the root of the problem... whatever that may be. Thank you. --CyclePat 05:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

LOL! I think if anyone is inclined to ask Woohookitty, Katefan0 or me we will be able to identify the root of the problem quite readily :-D - Just zis  Guy, you know? / 13:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Arbitration

While I can totally understand why you're incredibly frustrated with T-man (a feeling I know all too well) I wouldn't worry too much about his evidence (and I use that term loosely.) I'm certainly no expert on arbitration (or anything else on Misplaced Pages apparently), but it looks to me like he's simply digging his own grave with his crazy, non-organized, poorly written evidence. He still hasn't posted a statement and the way his evidence section rambles on with personal attack after personal attack against you seems to be to your benefit (in the long run.) I don't think you have much to worry about, sure, you violate NPA and CIVIL a couple of times. I think we've clearly proved that you're not guilty of wikistalking, he's the one following you around.

Just look at his diatribe on the Bane mistake. To me, he comes across as mildly unstable for being so worked up a single content mistake you made. It wasn't vandalism, it wasn't a revert, you were actually trying to decipher his text and pull the good stuff out. Thought it's a pain to read, I think the more he goes on, the more he hurts his own case.

Did you ever hear back from anyone about how long arbitration takes? The lack of any evidence to the contrary makes me wonder if anyone has even looked at it yet (but again, I know nothing of the upper echelons of Misplaced Pages.) Just let him keep tripping over himself and things will all work out.--Gillespee 07:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh and his evidence is long on comments, short on actual evidence. Just ignore him, it's possible he's trying to get you worked up so you screw up again.--Gillespee 07:21, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

One more thing, he's approaching 100 edits on the evidence page after changing everything there over and over. I'm guessing that's not normal behavior, it creates the impression he's trying to hide something.--Gillespee 03:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

are you really that blid to you own acts??

that's the kind of comments I reffer as cynic.

I asked my friend rowe for a piece of evidence and he did the rest. I even told him I wouldn't like to put him in an uncomfortable position

• you should have done what wesley dotts did to my Enemies of Batman paragraphs since the begining. then again you didn't because you don't know sh*t about enemies of batman.

• You should have asked me to review your sh*tty paragraphs as I did before, the when you refused. And I told you the FACTS were wrong. Well spoken wrong facts are not worth sh*t. And NOT vice versa.

• How dare you write info you know you don't know sh*t about without researching!

• How dare you erase the edits of editors that know hundreds of times more than you! That makes me so angry!!!!!!

• How dare you tell me I'm your "bud" and then erased all my works. You cynic lying bastard!! You only gave me the hant to then stabb me in the back!!!!!! I felt so betrayed!!

• You shoul limit yourself to fix minor sh*t like the usual links you put everywhere. Stop fooling yourself!!

• The worst part, was when I learned today you did know there are episode articles of shit like Buffy or Angel!!! Why the f*ck Did you erased the "Legends of the Dark Knight" episode if you had that knoledge?!!! I felt so related to the guy you did that to!!! You are the worst thing that ever happened to wikipedia!! WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY did you had to nominate the bat-embargo?? what bad did that page did to you, You could have improved it!! It was about a series you don't even watch you lying *ssh*l*!!!!!!!!! You enjoy using wikipedia procedures to mock me!!!! What kind of person does that!!! According to Dante people like yourfreakingself get the worst hell when they dye.
