Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Rollback Jimbo Wales Talk Page

Hi! Just because you support the blackout, that doesn't give you the authority to rollback topic discussions on Jimbo's talk page. Thanks! Stubbleboy 02:59, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

That isn't because I support the rollback, but rather is because the reverted comment was rather disruptive. I see I caught one other comment also, which was accidental. Calabe1992 03:01, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Oh, so now that you personally feel a comment made on someone else's userpage was disruptive, that gives you the right to delete it? Stubbleboy 03:04, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Read over WP:BEANS, and understand the point. Also, it was on a user talk page, not a userpage. Calabe1992 03:04, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

WP:BEANS!!? That is your reason for the rollback? WP:Beans is a humorous essay, it is not a Misplaced Pages policy or guideline. Stubbleboy 03:08, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

WP:AGF isn't an official policy either, but I can say right now you've violated it. Calabe1992 03:11, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

I saw that a couple of admin's set you straight. Nice to know. Stubbleboy 04:14, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

"Set me straight"? You'll notice I didn't revert you after you reinstated it. Calabe1992 04:15, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

I had time to think about the edits I made to those talk pages before the blackout, and I was honestly just messing around a little. I didn't really agree with the blackout completely, but in the end it was probably a good thing to raise awareness about SOPA and how damaging it would be if it passed the way it's written now. Hope you have no hard feelings. Thanks. Stubbleboy 05:20, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

No damage done. Calabe1992 05:21, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Also, I see that you've been here since April of last year, and you already have over 21,000 edits. Do you believe you would consider the possibility of becoming an administrator here on Misplaced Pages en? Stubbleboy 05:51, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I applied once back in October, and didn't make it by a country mile. But typically one (or more) failure(s) is the way it goes before you get in. I'll apply again sometime, probably this year. Calabe1992 05:53, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Look forward to offering my support. Stubbleboy 06:19, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Appreciated, although I don't know for sure when that will be. Calabe1992 06:19, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thank You Calabe SPARK8 (talk) 04:03, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Everyone, and I repeat EVERYONE in Palm Springs knows who Gavin Servelle is.

A Misplaced Pages article about Mr. Servelle is currently being created by a group of gay/bi/transgender volunteers, as he has done massive amounts of work in the community to help bring about gay/bi/transgender awareness. He is a household name in and around Palm Springs, California. I do not appreciate you attacking me, claiming I attacked another member who blatantly spat in the face Mr. Servelle and everything he has worked for. Quite honestly, I'm disgusted.

Spirit In The Sky Paul (talk) 06:28, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

You clearly attacked the IP, you added an entry to a list without an article. Somehow, I'm doubting the article will assert importance, and if that's true, it will be deleted. You need to review guidelines before jumping into what you've done. Calabe1992 06:33, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't think I quite like your tone. You assume that just because he is homosexual, an article about him will not have importance? I myself am not writing the article, but I figured I would jump the gun and add Mr. Servelle's name to the list. The article is also referencing multiple news articles about Mr. Servelle in Palm Springs. I am quite offended by you, Calebe1992.

Spirit In The Sky Paul (talk) 06:37, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I like how you assume that I believe importance will not be asserted only because he is a homosexual. Read over WP:AGF and then come back. Calabe1992 06:39, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I like the line, "It is important to be patient with newcomers, who will be unfamiliar with Misplaced Pages's culture and rules, but may nonetheless turn out to be valuable contributors." You don't seem to be very patient. I'm just here to learn Calebe, but evidently you're a bigot.

Spirit In The Sky Paul (talk) 06:42, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm not going to patient with someone who blatantly attacks another user when they were the one enforcing policy. Calabe1992 06:45, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

How was that an "attack?" I merely told them I was offended by their removal of Mr. Servelle's name. I've seen numerous notable residents pages where the person being referenced has a "red name." I see on your user page that it says you're straight. See? I can use italics too. It doesn't make my point any more justifiable. It's quite evident you're purposely targetting me because of my defending of a homosexual rights activist.

Spirit In The Sky Paul (talk) 06:48, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

You just don't get it, and with your accusatory attitude, you're not worth my time at this point. Calabe1992 06:49, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Accusatory? What's that supposed to mean?

Canidae

Hello Calabe1992, On the subject of Canidae at JamesBWatson's talk page, I would like to ask you to mind your own business and not interfere. I was asking him a question myself and not anyone else. Thank you. JoJaEpp (talk) 06:29, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Doesn't matter. You can't revoke rights to participate in a discussion. Calabe1992 06:33, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I have also posted a note about this at User talk:JoJaEpp. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:47, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry Calabe1992, I did not mean to be rude, I just have a tendency to being particular to who answers me. JoJaEpp (talk) 00:54, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Edits to School Holidays page

• Initial edit modified the ref and was marked as spam.
• Second edit added a new ref and was marked as spam.
• Third edit removed a ref and was marked as vandalism.

Please consider your approach to handling these edits in the future.

You replaced a ref with a spam link, got reverted by someone, then removed the ref, got reverted by me, then replaced it with the other link again, and now someone else has reverted you. Read over the link guidelines. Calabe1992 06:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry but that's not a spam link. It is the most reliable source for information and much more reliable than the current existing ref. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnyma22 (talk • contribs) 07:04, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Read over WP:Reliable, that wouldn't fall into it. Calabe1992 07:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Then for the sake of consistency please remove the other ref because that has the same issue. Thanks Johnyma22 (talk) 07:14, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Any particular reason why you would want one and not the other? Calabe1992 07:15, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the initial link has the incorrect dates for the school I work at, the link I replaced it with allows users to submit dates that are then peer reviewed. Thanks Johnyma22 (talk) 07:17, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough, but since you can't actually cite the dates (other than on that site) I've replaced the ref with one that credibly states that dates vary. Calabe1992 07:19, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Trying to add Blogs to a couple of sites on Misplaced Pages

Hi Calabe, I have been trying to add my personal blogs to the Misplaced Pages sites, and they keep being thrown out, I have tried on one occasion to "undo" but still it gets took off. The sites of my own and probably have far more information on the subjects that Misplaced Pages have got already so I do know they would be a useful addition. Furthermore I do see that other organizations or blogs have been accepted. So I am struggling to understand what I am doing wrong. Can you help it would be great. birderbryan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Birderbryan (talk • contribs) 16:46, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

You would have a WP:COI with your own site, and it would likely fall under WP:SPAM. Calabe1992 16:50, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Kharwar

Can you block that IP and or protect the page. This edit war has been going on for over a year.Andrew Kurish (talk) 02:04, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

I am not an administrator. Otherwise I would. Calabe1992 02:06, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about that!Andrew Kurish (talk) 20:07, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry this is a little late...

...But thank you for reverting the vandalism on my userpage! I really appreciate it! :D Queen of Awesome (talk) 23:41, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

No problem. Calabe1992 01:43, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Madchen Funk

Your A1 speedy deletion tag of Madchen Funk was not correct- A1 only applies to pages with truly no context, and the criterion actually lists what that means. If you can identify what the article is about, it has enough context. However, since no claim of importance was made, the article was deleted under A7.--Slon02 (talk) 02:06, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

I think I tried to tag the previous one as A1, and somehow got the next one as well; I don't remember tagging one by that name. Calabe1992 02:11, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations!

<bad faith award removed>

Is this an insult? Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:42, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Judging from the attitude I've seen on my talk pages and others, my guess is yes.Wikipelli 18:04, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it was. Calabe1992 18:40, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
