Tin whistle man

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. A page you recently created, Tin whistle man, may not conform to some of Misplaced Pages's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. All the links in the article were fake or nonworking. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:57, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Archive

{{helpme}} Can someone please help me with my talk page auto-archive? It's supposed to be set-up so that anything older than a month is archived, max archive size 100K, and leaving no fewer than 10 threads in active talk. Several threads should already have been archived. If you can fix it, perhaps you could change it to every 3 months for me? Talk isn't quite as active as I thought it might be. Thanks, C.U.T.K.D 08:41, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I've had a shot at fixing this; the relative link might have confused the bot. Give it 24 hours to see if it works. You should note that the bot will ignore threads with less than two timestamps, so the welcome message and the various bot warnings wil still need to be manually archived. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:58, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Right, it's working now. I've added a couple of section headers to help the bot out, which should hopefully allow it to process the rest of your old messages. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Awesome! C.U.T.K.D 12:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

You might have noticed that you have come close to violating the three revert rule in the talk page of User:219.74.32.135. Be careful. Pmlinediter   08:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

My understanding of the three revert rule is that it does not apply in the case of persistent vandalism, which is exactly what was going on- a blocked user was abusing their talk page. C.U.T.K.D 08:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Deion/Deioneus

Hi

Re these unexplained reverts:

Deion is a dab page; Deioneus says "In Greek mythology, Deioneus (Greek: Δηιονεύς) or Deion (Greek: Δηίων) is a name attributed to the following individuals:"; I presumed the article name must be the more "usual" of the two? 58.8.15.66 (talk) 10:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Deion is an acceptable alternative for Deioneus, thus you could argue there was no need for you to change it in the first place. That said, you are probably right, so if you wish to change them back again, I won't revert this time. C.U.T.K.D 10:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Deion is a dab page. I've undone your reverts. Thanks. 58.8.15.66 (talk) 10:35, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Signature

{{helpme}}

I am having problems with my signature after I accidentally reset my preferences to default.

The source code I am using is ] ^{<b><font color="blue">]</font></b> | <b><font color="red">]</font></b>}, which when typed directly produces: C.U.T.K.D

However, when I use the signature stamp ~~~, I get this: ] ^{<b><font color="blue">]</font></b> | <b><font color="red">]</font></b>} (talk)

Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks! C.U.T.K.D 08:16, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Make sure you have Raw Signature checked.— Dædαlus 08:18, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Awesome, all working now, thanks. C.U.T.K.D 08:33, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

PCH

What the hell? The user is massively abusive and has over thirty socks, many of which the user used to try to get others blocked. Seriously, how the hell can you assume good faith with someone who tries to get others blocked for nothing in his free time.— Dædαlus 08:15, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

No, this ban is not out of the blue. The user was previously blocked indefinitely, awhile back, for continuing to evade blocks in order to harass others. Where the hell is your good faith coming from? This user certainly doesn't deserve it. This ban is simply to make it formal, instead of the informal ban he already has.— Dædαlus 08:47, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Wait, why would anyone ban him? He's a good user -- I had an exchange with a highly maligned user in 2007, and then a mate deleted a section of an article under my login, as well as the obviously tongue-in-cheek "threat" of a revert war I "engaged in," and CUTKD was here for us all to give me a "stern talking to" :) Please realize that CUTKD is here for us all, and is good. Come on guys, we're self-policed here. Lets get back to editing articles, not talking to each other. Hrhadam (talk) 22:15, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:The Apprentice (UK series five)

Agreed, the IP's also been blocked, yey! The page had only recently been unprotected too... anyway, thanks for helping :) Jozal 11:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Hogus.png

A tag has been placed on File:Hogus.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Possibly unfree File:Beijing 2008 Taekwondo.jpg

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Beijing 2008 Taekwondo.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --Durova 20:57, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

You do realise that spectators are allowed at the Olympics right? And that photography is not banned for spectators? C.U.T.K.D 21:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Why is there no metadata then? –Juliancolton |  21:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Because I ripped the photo from facebook that's why. C.U.T.K.D 21:42, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

Due to repeated image copyright violations despite warnings (cf. ) I have blocked you for 24 hours. Please familiarise yourself with our copyright policies (i.e. Misplaced Pages:Copyrights, Misplaced Pages:Copyright violations). Regards, — Aitias // discussion 21:56, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Since the block duration is only 24 hours, there's really no point appealing it as by the time I can prove to you that the latter image was not a copyright vio, the block will have expired. That said, once I do clear my name, I will expect a full apology from those involved. C.U.T.K.D 21:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

If you believe this block is unjustified, you are free to contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. — Aitias // discussion 22:01, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

To CUTKD: Please understand how your situation looks to an uninvolved administrator. You uploaded photo's of the Olympics that, by virtue of their quality and proximity to the events themselves, it would be quite reasonable to presume were taken from the Press pit; there is no photography date or metainformation. In almost all cases where such characteristics as these are present, the upload is a copyright violation. If you're able to prove to the contrary, then please do so, and by all means, the block will be lifted; but it's unreasonable to "expect a full apology" from all involved when you haven't provided the required information in the first place. AGK 22:53, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Until you do clear you name do not upload any more pictures whatsoever. Theresa Knott | token threats 22:57, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello friend

Well, it seems you've had trouble with Misplaced Pages in the past, yourself. :) Since you relished in "giving me a stern talking to :)" I really am waiting with baited breath for your responses to my very equitable responses to both you and the other Misplaced Pages user who were after me. Or do I assume your silence is but quiet acknowledgment that you understand what I was on about? Cheers Hrhadam (talk) 22:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

*YAWN* actually I hadn't even noticed that you had responded, nor do I really care. Run along and play now little boy! C.U.T.K.D 08:45, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah yeah yeah, you definitely care. You enjoyed giving me a "stern talking to" now didntcha. .. .Lets spar, fellow British martial arts master : ) Anyways, I'm fine with the entire thing now that that loser that started all this drama has retired from Misplaced Pages. But don't call me a little boy, you might know me in real life :) Hrhadam (talk) 21:02, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

DJ Talent Remark

Cool your jets, buddy. I was involved in no evil plots, I did not attempt to delete this article twice and behavior such as this in bordering on violation of WP:AGF, WP:C and WP:OWN. If you'd like to maintain a respectable and dignified editor personality here at Misplaced Pages, future discretion will be more appropriate than the low-brow, childish mocking you have exhibited thus far. DRosenbach 13:53, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Your evil plan to have this article deleted has failed for the second time. Ha!

Your rhetorical, mocking laugh exhibits incivility and the lengths you go to champion this article (in becoming excessively defensive in apparent violation of WP:AGF, together with your apparent incivility) may appear to be a stance against those who seek to oppose an article that you created, thus bordering on making it appear as though it's your article to defend. DRosenbach 18:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Its his personality, he enjoys maligning others, but deep down somewhere he wants to do good, so let it slide. Hrhadam (talk) 21:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Dude chill. I already said it was a joke! C.U.T.K.D 07:36, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Duel

I challenge you to a duel. I will be allowed a tank; you a shotgun. Expect to get exactly what you deserve! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.134.130 (talk) 18:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I accept your challenge, but with one alteration. You can have your tank, but I get to use WP:AIV. That seem fair? C.U.T.K.D 07:45, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

WP:ANI

You need to be really careful about making overt claims of sockpuppetry, such as by tagging user pages. If sockpuppetry is suspected, and there is evidence, then a sockpuppet investigation should be initiated. Baseball Bugs carrots 09:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok... I thought someone was initiating an investigation anyway? Or have I misread the thread? C.U.T.K.D 09:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't see anything listed (yet) in Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations. In fact, what I said to you above I should first have said to the other guy who actually "put you up to it", someone named RS. Which I will now do. Baseball Bugs carrots 09:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah ok. C.U.T.K.D 09:20, 28 M 09:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

In my latest comment on ANI, I'm essentially challenging RS or RCS or whatever it is, to find evidence for an SPI. Lots of users will support other users for whatever reason, which doesn't necessarily make them sockpuppets, even though sockpuppets will certainly do that. However, sometimes sockpuppets will even appear to oppose themselves, to divert suspicion. The many socks of Pioneercourthouse (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) provide a good example of that kind of thing, from this past Jan or Feb, whenever it was. Baseball Bugs carrots 09:43, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I answered on my talk page. You know, my username is not so difficult to remember correctly, i take offense at the way you make fun of it, especially since we already met (not IRL, to be sure). Cheers, --RCS (talk) 09:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not making fun of it, I actually do have trouble remembering user names unless they stand out in some way. Because I put a comment on your page, you're on my watch list for the time being, so I should be able to remember it now. Baseball Bugs carrots 09:48, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

REWP:ANI

"Does this user do anything besides make enemies?" Check my contribs, and keep your mouth shut.Drew Smith What I've done 10:34, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Misplaced Pages has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Misplaced Pages and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Misplaced Pages's blocking policy for Disruptive editing, including the creation of the attack page User:CUTKD/List of enemies, copyright violations, and other disruption despite warnings. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. PeterSymonds (talk) 01:36, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

CUTKD (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I am very sorry about some of my recent edits. I have been extremely stressed, especially when a few things didn't go my way, and whilst I appreciate that creating the "List of enemies" article was a totally reprehensible act (I know it was wrong and am very angry with myself for creating it) I did try to keep it within user space and out of the way. I hope that, upon reviewing my contributions, you see that I have been an active and willingly constructive editor most of the time, who has been prepared to perform numerous manual reverts for the better of the encyclopedia. basically, I am asking for a second chance. I know that I've done wrong, and gotten myself into a few squabbles recently, but I promise to turn that around. If unblocked, I will try to concentrate on article creation/building, especially in the area of taekwondo which I know a lot about. I would also like to continue blatant vandalism reversion, but will refrain from joining discussions for the time being, and will certainly ensure I say nothing provocative from now on.

Decline reason:

Due to how you handled the stress of editing, and being that it's the second block in appox one week; I believe you should take some time off and reflect on things. I think there will be more sympathy for an request for unblock after some time has elapsed, perhaps a few weeks. When you do ask in the future, please ensure you detail where you plan to do the article creation you speak of and give further insurance that you understand our policies on civility, copyright, etc. Nja 07:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): I have decided to give you a second chance. Please do not abuse it or you will be reblocked without warning. Good luck. Request handled by: PeterSymonds (talk) 23:55, 9 July 2009 (UTC) Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.
