Messages

Please put messages at foot. I will delete them when I have read them. If you are replying to a message I left I don't mind where you reply but try to keep conversations together. If you are offering to help with the Schools DVD I would be very glad to hear from you. There is loads to do at present and we are working through the new subject index:

Art Business Studies Citizenship Countries Design and Technology Everyday life Geography History IT Language and literature Mathematics Music People Religion Science

The new selection of articles is about two weeks away. We are still hand checking version numbers (yawn) and still aiming for about 5500 articles to fit on a DVD. Just to update the selection of articles has just moved off wiki to allow a quicker automated run but it will come back. --BozMo talk 06:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the appreciation which I have moved off as they clutter the page. --BozMo talk 18:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

NOTICE: Climate Change articles

Please see Climate Change probations. In general, with a few specific exceptions, I am an "uninvolved" administrator on Climate Change disputes within the meaning of the probation as worded "if he or she is not engaged in a current, direct, personal conflict on the topic with the user receiving sanctions". However although the probation states that "Administrators are not to reverse such sanctions without either (1) approval by the imposing administrator, or without (2) community consensus or Committee approval to do so." I would like to be clear that in my case until further notice my general invitation to other admins to reverse any of my admin actions when they think that the actions are inappropriate or simply suboptimal still stands even on Climate change articles. Of course I appreciate a courtesy note if you do, but am quite happy for this to happen. --BozMo talk 09:52, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk Review

Hi BozMo, Could you review the talk here and with regards to warnings about the kind of abusive talk confirmed here for "pointless" accusations, that serve no stated point (in an of themselves). Considering the probation and prior warning, the editor making "pointless" comments may require a new warning. In addition, I would like advice on how and where to express my comments about "pointless" remarks not serving the point of wiki, and how I can avoid these being perceived as a PA. Thanks.

The second diff gives a reply by you which I do not begin to understand. But the first one contains the words "and pointless" in a redundant manner, which I will raise. --BozMo talk 19:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I will try to explain myself on my talk page. Zulu Papa 5 ☆ (talk) 00:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Told ya :)

Well i did my best but as you can see wmc is making all the changes he wants without getting consensus, i reported him and it`s been chucked out. Whats the point of discussing when it is just ignored? I give up, wikipedia can continue to be a propaganda piece for the AGW movement and have zero balance in it`s articles. Thank you for your support and help, it was much appreciated --mark nutley (talk) 22:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Would you cast your beady eyes over

And tell me what you think? I hope it is laid out ok but would like a second opinion, thanks. --mark nutley (talk) 21:16, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Page deletion and possible stalking ...

I had noticed a conversation at where Mark was working on an article on the Gore Effect in his user space. 2/0, you, and even KDP seemed OK with him trying to work on it there.

Seeing this I went to take a look and I made a few formatting and cleanup edits to help Mark out. This morning I find that ChrisO has appeared out of no where and had the page speedily deleted. We will pursue an appeal of this. If you think that it is acceptable for Mark to work on this in his own user space as your comments seemed to suggest (since you took not action to have it removed yourself), could you please weigh in on this?

Also, I believe that this MAY be an indication that ChrisO is beginning to stalk me so I have placed a notice to that effect on his talk page indicating that if he persists appropriate resolutions will be pursued. This is just FYI for now and to register that I will be paying attention to this issue and may be seeking assistance in this regards should the problem continue to manifest itself. --GoRight (talk) 15:26, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
