A suggestion from a previously uninvolved admin

Hopefully you won't ignore this. May I suggest that you keep your talk page as others have edited it but with your modifications commented out using the <nowiki> templates and then when you want to read the page, uncomment out your font and size modifiers and use the preview button. This will hopefully make everyone happy. JoshuaZ 04:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Since your an admin and discussing policy (imho), there isn't any reason to ignore your message. About your suggestion, I will take it under consideration. Thanks! :) Ste4k 04:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
You can trust Joshua implicitly. He is an excellent editor, a very fair admin and a wonderful human being. I can't think offhand of anyone I respect more on WP. Joshua is also very well-informed on religious subjects. Just zis Guy you know? 21:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
The burden involved in implementing his suggestion renders it moot in my opinion. I'm saying this only after giving it due regard. Finding enough time to deal with only this page when I want to see the other pages on Wiki like world at large sees them hasn't justification compared to using the same time to work on articles. I've begun writing a client for WP now. Ste4k 21:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


Course in Miracles

I could not reach you by email but please do not suggest a name change to the "A Course in Miracles" article.Who123 19:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd seriously like to put the entire subject matter behind me. Until doing serious research on this topic, I hadn't ever heard of it, still haven't ever seen any of it mentioned in the media in any serious way, doubt that it has any real significance to world wide politics, religion, society, charities, wars, or anything else that is going to significantly change the planet any time soon. The fact that it does require an enormous amount of research indicates only that it is an obscure topic. That so many editors have so many different viewpoints on the matter only indicates that nobody can reach consensus and that the subject matter is ambiguous. The article along with its neighbors has caused significant amounts of abusive remarks to me for simply researching the matter which indicates that the presence of the article causes more problems than it serves to provide any information. Providing information is the primary objective of the encyclopedia. Consensus is the primary means that this encyclopedia changes it's content. And disambiguity is the primary tool for accomplishing that goal. Ste4k 19:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Trolling

Just because it's your talk page doesn't mean that trolling is okay. Please can the lame header changes and sarcasm. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:46, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeeah. Don't troll me, either. Consider this a warning. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

What is your point? If you don't like the way that editor signs his name then take it up with him, not me. Ste4k 06:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

By the way, why did you remove my comment? Ste4k 06:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't aware I removed any comment. If I did, I didn't mean to. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

See Line 37 and 38 --Ste4k 06:41, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

You're right, looks like I did. Did you want to put it back, or do you want me to?
Incidentally, you don't need to dupe all the comments you make here on my talk page. I have this talk page watchlisted. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:46, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
It doesn't matter to me if they are put back or not. The point is that I am getting mixed messages from you. When you remove my statement and replace it with "Don't troll me either", then what am I to think? And here we have just below this conversation, someone that has been stalking me for more than a week saying "don't remove comments because it's hostile". Ste4k 06:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry I sent a mixed message; I thought removing your hostile and obnoxious headers, with an edit summary that threw my own words back at me, would be message enough. And, frankly, it's right; it's a bit hostile and dismissive to remove comments. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
You totally lost me. Please take some time and be more specific. I have completely stopped working on articles tonight because of this conversation. I think you will get better results if you avoid pronouns and use specific terms or use wikilinks to point out what you're specifically writing about. Ste4k 07:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

False 3RR Report

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Dissident Voice. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Ste4k 13:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Ste4k? 3RR has to occur in one day. I did not edit the article yesterday in any way, thus I can not violate that rule. Also I did not revert your changes but rather addressed the macros/templates you put on the page. Please do not make false accusations, if this continues, I will report you. --Ben Houston 13:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Ste4k 13:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
You don't understand what a 3RR is - I was making changes and addressing your concerns. Yes, I did remove the various templates/macros, but except fro the extraneous ones, I actually addressed the issues they were warning about. Also, you mentioned that you thought I was new -- I've been editing WP since July 2005 and have racked over 3000 edits to over 1000 articles. Also you should check the WP:V section I quote on the Talk:Dissident Voice page -- it is relevant and you should really read it. --Ben Houston 13:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry but the July date in your contribs averted attention from the year since it is the current month. Please accept my apologies for thinking you were a new editor. Ste4k 14:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Red Links

I notice you don't like red links. They are not actually that bad since they suggest to readers where they could contribute new articles. Also there are global links of articles that don't exist that have the most links -- these are useful in helping guide people's new article creation efforts. --Ben Houston 16:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

The following discussion is a formal notice and warning. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in other sections of this page or elsewhere. No further edits should be made to this section.

Notice and Warning to Nscheffey

Your merge is wrong. If you want to talk about it here or on the articles talk page thats fine, but dont just revert it. --User:Nscheffey 20:44, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Neither do I own any "merge", nor is a "merge" an unjust or injurious act, something contrary to ethics or morality, an invasion or a violation of another's legal rights, nor an injustice. Neither have you followed your own advice. You have already established that your intent is to stalk me personally rather than have any concern over any article I edit. Consider this message formal warning that further attempts to communicate with me before addressing prior concerns about your stalking will be considered harassment. Ste4k 00:15, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Attempting to contact you concerning a major edit is not stalking, and your allegations are outrageous. --User:Nscheffey 00:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
      • If you have a dispute then follow correct procedure. Your statement above signifies that you have read and understood my complaint. Until such a time as you have addressed those concerns formally, all further communication to me from you is considered harassment. Ste4k 01:12, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Headings

Hi and thanks for your clean up work. Note that per the style manual one should use lowercase in section headings except the first letter and in proper names. So, 

==Further reading==

instead of 

==Further Reading==

Also, articles should be named Sine and cosine transforms rather than Sine and Cosine transforms.

Small things but I thought I would let you know. You can reply here if you have comments. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
