Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:54, 28 August 2005

Important note: If you wish to carry on a discussion with another user initiated by something they post on this page, please take it to their talk page, not here. I don't like seeing "You have new messages" every 5 minutes when they have nothing to do with me. A reply to another user's comment is fine, as is anything directed partly towards me, but beyond that please don't use this page.

Old comments are at User talk:Nickptar/Archive 1.

Hey

This isn't vandalism. It's the next word in numa numa. Your page said I could edit it. Howabout1 00:13, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

WikiFun Round 9: Lightning Round Time

I have decided to attempt to advance and end the round quickly. Parts of the question will be revealed with more hints and/or be more elaborated on as every two days. I have currently provided more hints on the answer pages for the current remaining questions. --AllyUnion (talk) 08:33, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Of interest to me

I see you created a bot that's specific goal was to clean up all those Star Wars lists. I was wondering if you are into this stuff, for I may have a proposition for you. Over at Wikicities we have a Star Wars Wiki aka Wookieepedia, and I was just wondering if you might have been interested in helping out with the project. Once again, I only assume this because your bot worked on those lists. You may not even be into SW, but at least I'm asking. -- Riffsyphon1024 14:06, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

In response...

In response to your question at "Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for arbitration/Gabrielsimon/Evidence", I copied this from Gabrielsimon's user page. Quote "It has been said that I have a very open mind as well.... I have been called inhumanly patient... and inhuman. If you want to know more, ask. I'm on MSN, YIM and AIM. Leave a message at my email address to learn what the IDs are."

I have been watching this sad saga unfold like a slow motion car crash for several days now. Beyond the obvious squabble that has been going on, I have come to some conclusions (based strictly on my own personal observations) that much of this GS, Ketrovin, Khulhy, Gavin the Chosen (and who knows how many others) is a cry for help from a lonely person. I also feel that many of the typographical and grammatical errors are contrived so as to foster a sympathetic response. I am curious as to what lengths the editors and admins are willing to go to in "babysitting" this individual. I am a new user myself, but is it in the best interest of WP to coddle a person who seems to go out of their way to be obtrusive? I wait, with interest to see how the situation plays itself out. There are a few admins here who I have made positive connections with, and I am inclined to copy this memo to their talk pages just to get some outside opinions. Keep up the good work Nickptar, as a new user I can say I've been impressed with your contributions here. See you "round! Hamster Sandwich 23:30, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Good stuff

I saw your bot repairing links redirecting to lists etc on some of the articles in my watchlist, it seems to be functioning perfectly. Se, here you go:

Aw, shucks. Please tell me if you see any errors in the future - I'm sure there are still bizarre edge cases I haven't thought of. ~~ N (t/c) 23:48, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for your speedy response to my memo:

If you're brave enough, perhaps you could leave a friendly note on his talk page?

I don't think I want to establish a corespondence with this individual. Gavin the Chosen left a memo on my talk page today within minutes of my posting to the RfA page and I chose not to reply. I just don't think its prudent, at present to respond to that user. If it turns out that my observations are incorrect concerning that posting I will gladly and sincerely apologise to anybody affected by my comment. Thanks again! Hamster Sandwich 00:00, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

• Well it all comes out in the wash, as they say. My opinion is hes a nut-job. He goes from user to user like a sad sack looking for help. "Whats a sockpuppet?" "Can you help me?" "I got an email from a friend who told me..." Its all very tawdry and pathetic. Sad. Well sorry to take up your time with this, I just saw a pattern and wanted to report it. Mr. Gavin should be very glad I'm not an admin, because quite frankly I wouldn't have the patience for these shenanigans. I hope he becomes a good editor, and makes the extra work you admins have done with him worthwhile. Thanks again. See you 'round. Hamster Sandwich 05:43, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Geez Louise! You have the patience of saint! Good for you man! Hamster Sandwich 07:50, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Tell me about it, I just gave a guy a recipe for deep fried field mice. Because he asked and I'm bored.. Peace!Hamster Sandwich 07:56, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I should like to Thank Hamster Sandwitch for the lovly personal attacks, found above, I wonder though, if such is something that can get a user blocked.Gavin the Chosen 08:45, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Gavin the sockpuppet

Did you protect that page? He changed it back to the one without the tag but there's no edit option so I can;t put it back. DreamGuy 06:34, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

SlimVirgin did so. I listed it on WP:VPA for comment. ~~ N (t/c) 06:37, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

anyway

As explained Before, If this is the only active account, then im not a puppet, as for asking what one was, its called trying to maintain cover.. Please thank Hamster Sandwitch forhte personal attacks.Gavin the Chosen 06:36, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my Talk page. there are some bored people around. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:07, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your work with TECO!

Thanks for the work you've done disambiguating TECO!

You're welcome. ~~ N (t/c) 02:14, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Looks like you could use this...

For that pounding 3RR headache. :-) FreplySpang (talk) 15:20, August 16, 2005 (UTC) File:MedAcetaminophen.jpg

Why thank you. ~~ N (t/c) 15:24, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hiya. Just wanted to thank you for supporting my recent RfA. Cheers! --Ngb 18:51, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Wicca

• Hi just thought I'd let you know that the tag you replaced on the Wicca talk page is part of a greater Christian "moral" attack on many different articles. Please see Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/WikiProject Wikipedians for Decency for the main body of the controversy. That tag may not be POV in and of itself, but it has a VERY POV agenda behind it that is in violation of WP:NOT and WP:NPOV.Gateman1997 23:45, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• • I realize this, but I see nothing wrong with the tag being there - I see it as harmless (as nobody will take it seriously), and removing it as censorship. I won't revert you, but I suggest you put a replacement there so as to make the context of the following conversation comprehensible. ~~ N (t/c) 23:47, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Fernando Rizo's RfA

Nick, thanks for your kind support of my RfA; I was promoted last night. I'll do my best to do the job right. Fernando Rizo T/C 18:06, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

User:Was blocked

I'll get some of my admin friends on him, I stole your edit summary, I like it. Howabout1 19:57, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

If you write an edit summary saying we shouldn't do something, very loud in caps, of course I had to see what the fuss was about. AAARGGHHH!!! Jacoplane 19:59, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

ROFLMAO! I should have mentioned what it was, you're right. ~~ N (t/c) 20:00, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Otherkin

Your revert to a version of Otherkin is being treated by a user as an authoratative statement that it was the consensus version, though you disclaimed any such knowledge. Allow me to request that you speak up at otherkin, or it's talk page, post haste? Thank you. Hipocrite 03:47, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

would youl ike to tell that user that being rude gets you called rude, and no matter how much you dislike it, IF someone treats anyone rude , its well within thier rights to make note of it and ask the other to stop? where does hipocrite get off telling me to apologize to him or her for telling them to stop being rude to me? ( or is it an act, to maintain the name)?Gavin the Chosen 03:57, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

I think the discussion at Otherkin may be about to flare up. I've done my best to treat civilly with DreamGuy and assume that he's editing in good faith, but it's finally beyond me. I'm sorry to ask this of you, but I suspect a neutral opinion and calming voice might help the discussion get back on track at this stage. Please? Vashti 09:04, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

And this statement is absolute nonsense. He claims to try to treat me civilly and puts personal attacks on my talk page and tries to escalate his personal conflict with me to an RfAr without even trying to do any other parts of conflict resolution process and he's trying to play the victim here... I've constantly tried to put the conversation on track but he simply replies by claiming that I won;t listen to anything he says and etc. when it's that I've listened and it's wrong and I've explained why over and over. comment by DreamGuy, 15:38, August 22, 2005

I have not opened an RFAr against you; I left a statement on one that had already been opened by a third party. Regarding your claims of personal attacks and ignoring what you've said, I am at this point happy to let the history speak for itself. Vashti 16:00, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Nick, I protected the page as you requested. Thanks for stepping in to help reach consensus. I think it might help the poll if you identified more clearly what wording is "DreamGuy's version" and what wording is "Vashti's version" - as it stands, pretty much only people who have been in the thick of it can participate. FreplySpang (talk) 15:07, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Worse than that, Vashti has had multiple versions and his current version is factually incorrect and violated NPOV. I don;t think people understand what it is they are voting for because there's no way his version makes sense in the slightest. DreamGuy 15:38, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Just because its not YOUR POV doesnt make it NPOV, and btw, this user DreamGuy is under arbitration for such flargrant use of incivil language as shown on the Otherkin talk page.Gavin the Chosen 15:42, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

I am not "under arbitration"... Give it a rest. It's funny how you claim I am when I am not and skip over the fact that you are far enough along yours to know that you are going to be blocked for at least a month. Anybody can make a claim to start an arbitration -- as you have already done in the past under a sockpuppet and failed, remember. That doesn't mean anything. DreamGuy 21:37, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

sure ,your not under arbitration jus yet, but its getting there..Gavin the Chosen 21:39, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

assistance please

the chabges i was doing to otherkin were suypported, and hipocrite revertsthem for spite, as edidanced i the edit summaries. please help. i do NOT want to get blocked any more.Gavin the Chosen 14:57, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Look, by just going away you won. Hipocrite 21:28, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar

Please take this barnstar in light of all the stress that you have been under during your tenure at Misplaced Pages, and know that most Wikipedians are usually friendly and lighthearted.

Take care, D. J. Bracey (talk) 21:42, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, man, I needed that. My Wikistress just fell a point or two. I hope to be able to return the favor soon. ~~ N (t/c) 21:45, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Hey Nickptar, thank you very much for my award. I appreciate the feedback very much, and the kind thought. ;-D Cheers, SlimVirgin 02:07, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not Fred Bauder but...

From the DreamGuy RFAr: "Sorry to butt into this section, but what existing case? ~~ N (t/c) 21:40, 23 August 2005 (UTC)"

I assume he means the Gabriel/Gavin RFAr, no? Since DreamGuy is active in it, and everyone active in an RFAr is potentially subject to arbitration. Cheers, FreplySpang (talk) 14:09, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

That would make no sense, to merge it to one with the opposite plaintiff and defendant. Where's the policy on everyone being potentially subject to arbitration? Or do you mean that the Arbs could decide in Gavin's case to impose restrictions on DreamGuy and him? I suppose, but that would be pretty clumsy. ~~ N (t/c) 14:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Template: (All participants are subject to Arbitration Committee decisions, and the ArbCom will consider each participant's role in the dispute.) I don't think the notions of "plaintiff" and "defendant" are distinguished in ArbComm proceedings as they are in real-life trials. Instead, the spirit seems to be more like "There's a bad situation here, how can we straighten it out." The current situation here is an example where the party bringing the complaint may wind up getting more, um, guidance, than the "defendants." FreplySpang (talk) 15:55, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Do anything please

You are a wiki admin and I need your help. Can you explain about this changes to my page?

Gavin

Hi Nickptar, I've posted a note on Gavin's talk page reaffirming the terms of my agreement with him, and making clear that there will be no further exceptions. It would help me a lot if you could let me know if you see examples of 3RR violations, personal attacks, or any other behavior that you feel is problematic. A brief note with a diff on my talk page would be great. Many thanks, SlimVirgin 03:35, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
