My view of this talk page

I will usually reply here, not on your talk page
Comments will not be edited except to reformat them to a nice thread format if it looks untidy
Obvious spam will be deleted


I had to read that again

Over on Talk:Diggers (True Levellers) you wrote that you agreed with James ... which opposed as I do, so I take it that in agreeing you are opposing? My head is spinning around and around. MPLX/MH 23:23, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That's right - I could perhaps have made it a little clearer. I'm agreeing with moving the dab page to Digger, with Diggers redirecting there. violet/riga (t) 23:25, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

user:Know It All

I realise this user appears to be up to no good, but I'd really like to urge you to assume good faith and try and guide his edits in a direction where they might actually be useful. The comments this user is making may simply be a misunderstanding of the way Misplaced Pages works. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 00:22, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)

I don't think it's that. A user with that name going around claiming to know the truth behind current events and adding a {{nonesense}} tag to Category:Energy is just being daft - I doubt there will be positive edits from them. violet/riga (t) 00:25, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Jeff Smith page

Please read my reply on http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Jeff_Smith_%28TV_personality%29 and tell me what you think. I tried to break it into paragraphs but failed (sorry). Thanks.

Jeff Weise

I did take it to the talk page. I think it's better to have a page which deals with Jeff.. His dad committing suicide, his mother Brain damaged, His Neo-Nazi tendancys, his Granddad apparently starting a New Romance.. etc, and then another page from the actual incident. Why do you propose diferently? --Irishpunktom\ 15:10, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)


  • Also, aside from telling me to go to talk (While you blankly ignore it), why are you Reverting perfectly good edits? --Irishpunktom\ 15:15, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
One main thing is that you are not allowed to copy and paste text from one article to another in an effort to move it. There will be a major duplication of effort and content if the articles are separate. We can look to have separate articles after the situation has settled down. violet/riga (t) 15:16, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Well, someone had previously moved Jeff Weise into Red Lake High School massacre without the slightest bit of discussion with those who were in the middle of working it. I I C&Ped the info, and then made significant edits to the Red Lake High School massacre, so that it reflected the "Red Lake High School massacre", rather than Jeff Weise, which you flatly reverted, again without the slightest hint of discussion, and then directed me to go to Talk! --Irishpunktom\ 15:28, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
There was discussion at Red Lake High School which had duplicate information with Jeff Wiese – something that should be avoided. I therefore made the decision that Jeff Wiese did not need an article of his own because he is only noteworthy for the massacre, which would be a better title for the wider situation. Even if you disagree with the move you shouldn't copy/paste the text but go to talk and discuss it. Or even ask me why. violet/riga (t) 15:33, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Raffles

Hi. I'd like you to take another look at Thomas Stamford Raffles Jooler 17:04, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You convinced me - done. violet/riga (t) 17:51, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Stamford Raffles delete - why?

Why have you marked the Stamford Raffles page for deletion? I think it's a very good redirect - if it's eliminated, I'll bet anything that somebody recreates it within a few months, since most people (including me at first) think that's his name. I think it should be left. - DavidWBrooks 18:03, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

stamford raffles ... "never mind"!

Guess I stepped into the middle of your change - sorry! - DavidWBrooks 18:06, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No problem - would be easy if I could delete it myself but the block compression is stopping it. violet/riga (t) 18:09, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

God

Violet/riga, whoever you are, I consider you my god. Where can I lay the lambs down?--Keyzersoze 06:15, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

High praise indeed - don't know why I deserve it, but thank you! violet/riga (t) 12:46, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

BC Liberal Party

I undid it because last I checked, it was being debated on the articles talk page, and no consensus had been reached. --Spinboy 22:44, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I objected, and there was no consensus. --Spinboy 23:06, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting User:1001 vandalism of my User page. He also vandalised the 'Vandalism in progress page:

10001

No problem, though do remember the WP:3RR because you could get yourself blocked if you're not careful! violet/riga (t) 15:09, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I was careful, in fact; I only reverted twice — the other times involved either compromises (for example, I left in his change to 'LDS' but corrected the spelling, and I eventually took out 'et al.' in favour of 'etc.') or a more general copy-editing (the article was in severe need of it).

User:Irate

Hi. Just so you know, I just filed an RFC against Irate. Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Irate. Cheers, Smoddy (tek) 22:50, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

If you want to think about filing an RFAr against Irate, as he is not responding to the RFC, you can have a look here, and edit if you so wish: User:Smoddy/Irate. Cheers, Smoddy (tek) 19:01, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Great, looks good. Just so you know, I'm going away for two weeks now. If you think it is appropriate, by all means file the RFAr with my evidence. Good luck. Smoddy (tek) 20:55, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for that - will keep my eye on the situation and see what progression is required. Have a good break. violet/riga (t) 20:56, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Cabinet Office (UK)

I count two editors who wanted to move this page and two who wanted it where it was. So why was it moved? Jonathunder 23:10, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)

Although I didn't vote (as I try not to in most circumstances) I supported the move, making it 3 for and 2 against. I think the primary disambiguation makes for the best way of doing it given that there is currently only one other (stubby) Cabinet Office article (for Japan). violet/riga (t) 23:13, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:Martin2000

I have finally raised a RfC on that guy due to his continous unreasonable behaviour. You might remember he became very unpleasant after you had protected a page on Bahaullah or the Bahai Faith. It would be good if you could throw in a comment or so. Refdoc 22:11, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks this was fast. Refdoc 22:34, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No problem! violet/riga (t) 22:35, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

My page

You know I don't like you so butt out and leave my user page alone.

Thank you

Thank you for reverting vandalism by 4.143.98.30 on my User page. —ExplorerCDT 03:45, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The Advanced Wikipedian

Hi Violet,

I'm guessing you are the sort of gal who know's her Iambic pentameter from her limerick (I don't really), and if so, you might be able to improve, correct and extend meta:The Advanced Wikipedian. -- Solipsist 22:51, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
