Important notice

If you came here to find out why I haven't answered yet, please take note of the following:

1) for personal reasons I will no longer post on Sundays between sun rise and sun set 2) for the same personal reasons I will keep myself as far as possible from controversial issues on Saturdays.

So, if you have a POV problem with me, do not expect an answer before Monday. I am sorry, but after being accused of being a Russian meat puppet of Ghirla, a communist Polish vandal and a vicious German nationalist (last two on the same day) I need some time at least for calm reflexion. Thanks for reading this rant and may the peace of Our Lord be with you. --Pan Gerwazy 11:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Not a sockpuppet

I was reviewing my prior edits, and noticed that you had deleted my vote on Misplaced Pages:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_June_30 because you claimed I was a sockpuppet, yet you couldn't even have the decency to alert me on my Talk page or ask me who I am and why I made my vote. Where is it written that I must make edits to Misplaced Pages every day to not be a sockpuppet? At least have the decency to give people a chance to defend themselves.

Apologies - I just noticed it was 172 who deleted my comment. My point still stands. Sachmet 18:37, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I lent my support to striking out your vote because I thought your account did not have enough edits. It is not usual for people who have so few edits to add templates and even vote on them. I said you may possible be a second account of someone else - that is not the same as a sockpuppet, but of course you cannot vote twice. Note that this vote is six months old. --Pan Gerwazy 17:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me. If there is anything else I can help you with (backlogs, comments, ...), you can always contact me on my talk page. Fram 14:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Pytalovo

All in a day's work :) I do, however, think, that the majority of the credit here belongs to the bot owner. Thanks for the update though—this sequence of events is quite entertaining!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Not knowing the languages of the articles this article is interwikilinked to, it is very hard for me to sort all this mess out. I am definitely not moving anything in Spanish Misplaced Pages :), so if you are reasonably sure about what the text there says you might want to go ahead and do it yourself.

As for the name of "Pytalovo", my 2002 toponymic dictionary says that it is "possibly derived from a personal name" ("вероятно, антропонимического происхождения"), but provides no further details, except that such derivatives are very common in Central Russia. The "mesto pytok" theory is not even mentioned, although your theory sounds quite plausible.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, once you can source it, it stops being original research :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

On the subject of Port Pirie

Greetings Pan Gerwazy Thankyou for your comments regarding Port Pirie. My early alterations to that page were a learning exercise and not vandalism as you call it. The only way to learn is by doing and learning from mistakes. My apologies for having agrieved you. I did attempt to insert the 2006 ABS figure after I thought I had successfully mastered the edit function but alas that attempt failed. Please be patient, I will become competent at this given time. I only discovered that I could edit Misplaced Pages a day or two prior to the subject of your complaint. Again my apologies. Cheers Mal Victmw 23:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Answered on your talk page. --Pan Gerwazy 10:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Estonia related AfDs etc.

I get your point. At first I thought he and this newly registered other guy were some of the anonymous new editors who had started barraging the the Bronze Soldier from IPs in Estonia. Seeing this second users skills in editing/manipulating Misplaced Pages, (see this Afd) and his clamed knowledge of Misplaced Pages conventions (example) I now see that he must have a very long edit history, possibly under an other user name. It is thus possible that he is a sock puppet of a banned user.

I think we could go for closing both AfD:s as sock puppet crap. -- Petri Krohn 15:40, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. As you may have noticed, I started working on Restoration of Estonian independence, which should give a background for the two AfDd articles. Seeing all this POV pushing, I doubt if I will ever dare to release it in article space. -- Petri Krohn 15:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

P.P.S. Please check that this hate speech is not reintroduced to the article. -- Petri Krohn 15:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
