GAP Project

What the HELL are you doing?! WHY are you reverting to the copyright violation without discussion? RickK 05:43, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hello. Unless I am sadly mistaken, I don't see your name at all at Talk:GAP Project. – ugen64 05:44, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Indeed. Though it is on the VfU page where CoolCat took it upon himself to reinsert the copyright violation in violation of VfU rules, and I have also made edit summaries explaining the reversion. I do not understand what it is that I have done to make you an enemy. Why is that? RickK 05:48, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/RickK 3 - An RfC has been opened to document today's events. I think you're eligible to endorse it, being that you were involved. -- Netoholic @ 21:31, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)

Abuse

I have never added anything to Misplaced Pages, never mind "nonsense". I have only ever removed things which are not based in fact. Please try to avoid personal attacks in future. 82.13.187.127 18:42, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Peers

Assuming that all the articles currently in Category Peers get into the proper subcategories, that seems fine. Do recall that some peers ought to be in multiple categories. john k 19:58, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My suggestion would be they should get a category for all titles held at the highest level of peerage. For lesser peerages, these should only be mentioned when they give the person a seat in a different parliament. Thus, lesser Irish peerages before 1801, lesser Scottish peerages before 1707, lesser England/Great Britain/UK peerages for Scottish peers until 1963, and for Irish peers to the present (or 1999, I guess)...At any rate, something along those lines. john k 20:07, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hugh Fraser was created a baronet in 1961 and a life peer in 1964, so that's the source of the confusion. I'll thunk the article accordingly. Mackensen (talk) 00:37, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ack, worse than I thought. The original Hugh Fraser was made a baronet and a hereditary peer (probably one of the last). He died in 1966. His son or grandson (son seems more likely) disclaimed the peerage, but was still a baronet. Mackensen (talk) 00:40, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Quality monitoring

Remember, after tagging a page as a copyvio, list it at WP:CP. I have a script i occasionally run that caught this one, so it's already been added--Duk 04:59, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Belated thanks, and other things

Thanks for supporting my RFA! A sad family situation occurred just at that time, so I haven't been able to spend as much time here as I would like, but I hope that will change soon. Also, happy birthday! And, what are you taking at Harvard? I'm signed up for a couple of classes there myself - a sociology class about the development of the modern nation-state, and a women's studies class about the role of the body in society. I might switch the sociology class for something else, I'm not sure. Anyway, welcome to Cambridge and have a great summer! FreplySpang (talk) 23:15, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Friendly Chat

Hey isn't it your Birthday? I believe I saw that posted somewhere the other day. Anyway if it is "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" and if it isn't then consider this an advanced or belated message. I know I sound kind of crazy. Your friend Marine 69-71 01:44, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Your user page

Ugen64, you got rid of almost everything on your user page. Is everything ok? 209.92.136.131 28 June 2005 12:52 (UTC)

I echo that question; I do hope you're OK and just taking a breather for a bit. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 29 June 2005 14:27 (UTC)

The last few weeks have seen too many people who hold my respect leave the project. I wouldn't have you be the next. We need people like you Ugen. Just keep your head low for a while, work on some articles, and ignore the wiki-politics. Best wishes, Mackensen (talk) 1 July 2005 00:25 (UTC)

Take a nice break, but please do return. (Come and visit me at Chicago!) — Dan | Talk 3 July 2005 23:17 (UTC)

It's prospie season! I hope you'll turn up eventually. Say hello if you do. Regards — Dan | Talk 05:38, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Please come back Jobe6 July 5, 2005 01:59 (UTC)

Concerned?

Are you still concerned about this user? I urge you to vote: Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_adminship/Hedley_2. Dmn / Դմն 1 July 2005 10:25 (UTC)

Comunlang VFD-2

You are receiving this notice due to a consideration that has come up during a VFD for the article Comunleng. As there was no clear consensus in Comunleng's previous VfD, it has been nominated again. We are notifying all participants of the original VFD. Please see Votes for deletion/Comunleng 2 for comments. The Literate Engineer 23:48, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Welcome back?

I hope that I have the honor of welcoming you back. Mackensen (talk) 10:02, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

• Come back, shane, come back! Ah, and are you still in Boston? +sj + 19:47, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Bureaucratship

I'm letting you know that I've just nominated myself for bureaucratship for the second time. If you didn't care to know about this, I apologize for the inconvenience. Andre (talk) 02:38, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/European Union member states at the 2004 Summer Olympics

You might be interested to have a look. Regards --Pgreenfinch 15:37, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

You're missed

For your many contributions, of course, and also your excellent level-headedness. I hope to see you back soon. If you happen to read this anytime soon and feel like coming back for a brief moment, User:The Singing Badger is up for adminship. You and I both offered to nominate him/her for admin once (in fact, I think you offered twice), and right now there is some opposition. I never go ask people to vote on a candidate, but I thought in this case it might be appropriate to let you know, since you had intended to nominate Badger once upon a time. :-) Anyway, there my tale's told, and now I'll be going. Best regards as always, Jwrosenzweig 17:59, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Popups tool

Congratulations on being made a bureaucrat! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Misplaced Pages:Tools#Navigation_popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is to paste the following into User:Ugen64/monobook.js:

// ] - please include this line 
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' 
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');
popupAdminLinks=true;

Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! Lupin 02:35, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikijunior Solar System Needs You

Danny Wool has challenged us to get Wikijunior Solar System out to hurricane evacuees by October 32005. This is going to be tough!

You expressed interest in WikiJunior. Would you be willing now to join the push to get Wikijunior Solar System completed?

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Template/Workshop

You, or any Misplaced Pages user, can contribute your suggestions and comments to the /Workshop page of any active arbitration case. Comments on evidence or proposals can help in understanding the import of evidence and in refining proposals. Proposed principles, findings of fact, or remedies may be listed on /Proposed decision and form part of the final decision. Fred Bauder 19:38, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Advisory.

Please be more careful when closing V/AfDs. On reexamination of Missy Palmer's VfD, it was 5/2 in favor of merging, and the two keep votes were from an IP with one edit and, at the time, the other voter did not have more than 100 edits. Thank you, and have a good day. - A Link to the Past (talk) 22:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Welcome back!

I saw you made some edits recently. It's good to have you back. →Raul654 06:10, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Indeed, welcome back, and nice quotation, too. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 05:18, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Yay! Mackensen (talk) 11:50, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Halibutt

Since you have supported me during my RfA, I wonder if you could review and comment on the RfA for Halibutt, the first person I have nominated myself. There seem to be a heated debate and votes of experienced, unbiased editors would be appreciated. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:58, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

detectives, inc

Is there a reason you blanked Detectives, Inc? For now I am removing it from "candidates for speedy deletion," but feel free to blank it again if you meant to do so. Thanks, – ugen64 06:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Never mind, I just made it the redirect you had before. – ugen64 06:37, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Hiya. Actually, the reason for it was because of my stupidty, or, to be fair, carelessness: I wrote up an entire article before noticing that I'd not only gotten the very title wrong (adding a comma where the logo doesn't have one) but on top of that, forgetting the period in "Inc."! As Bugs Bunny would call me, "What a maroon!" So, I can see creating a redirect from "Detectives, Inc." (with an incorrect comma but otherwise spelled correctly, and which someone might reasonably type in) but not so much from "Detectives, Inc" (which is just my sloppiness -- ironic, given how I dot my "i"s and cross my "t"s with the copiously annotated research).

Anyway, thanks for going there and for caring. I love putting these articles out into the ether, and it's nice to know someone's reading them. -- Tenebrae 15:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Fresno, Tolima

hi, don't want to start any kind of edit war, but this town already has an article at Fresno, Tolima, so the article Fresno (Tolima) is in the wrong name and it is simple usless information so it should be deleted, and without any sort of merging as it is completely usless, you might want to see the articles talk page, cheers. --mexaguil 02:11, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Cool--mexaguil 02:16, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

AFD & Speedy deletion

If you're going to speedy-delete a page, please check that there is no open WP:AFD on the subject. I've just spent a while clearing up deleted but unclosed AFDs, of which three or four had pages deleted by you. - SoM 13:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Babel

Could you consider adding this template to your userpage? It is very helpful in case translators are needed and such.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 15:11, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Semi-protection

I saw you just reverted vandalism on George W. Bush, and wondered what you thought about the proposals to curb what's going on there. If you have time, check out Misplaced Pages:Semi-protection policy, and weigh in (there's something of a large discussion page, so be prepared. For a quick run-through of what's been said and done, see #rehashing) Hope to see you there. -Mysekurity 22:00, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

for the revert to my user page. - Taxwoman 22:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Player squad templates

Hi - I was wondering why you changed the first-team squad in Arsenal F.C. from using the existing set of templates to the alternate, non-template format? I personally disagree with it, not just because using templates is good practice, but it takes up more space on the page and adds irrelevant information (is a player's previous club(s) really relevant to the article about Arsenal?). But then, I don't want to arbitrarily revert it as you may have a compelling reason (or it might be a work in progress), so I'd thought I'd ask your opinion first. Qwghlm 20:07, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, cheers. I've reverted it back. Qwghlm 08:29, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry; I will. HolyRomanEmperor 21:17, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Royal Victoria Order in Canada

In Aug 2004 you posted a question on the Royal Victorian Order's talkpage about its use in Canada. For the postnominal letters you asked about I think it must have been a typo. In Canada we use the same Royal Victorian Order as in Great Britain, however we only use the first three classes (Memeber, Lt, Commander) whereas in the UK there are 5. This is due (probably) to the Nickle Resolution which (sort of) prohibited Canadians from getting honours which included the use of titles like Lord, Sir or Dame.

Feliz Navidad

Ugen64, O.K., so you don't believe in Santa, but I still want to wish you and your loved ones all the happiness in the world and the best new year ever. Your friend, Tony the Marine 06:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from Tony the Marine

I wish you all the happiness in the world and remember, if an injustice is ever committed against you or one of your articles, I will always be by your side. Your friend Tony the Marine

Userboxes

As an administrator, can you please undo Kelly Martin's userbox massacre? It's clear from the RFC that there was no consensus for this. Firebug 01:00, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Kelly Martin RfC

IRC logs

Please do not post public logs (or portions of logs, or conversations, etc.) of conversations on the wikipedia IRC channel. I've deleted the portion you posted on Kelly Martin's RFC (personally I don't care, but...) - if you restore it, I know several admins who would probably block you on sight for "trolling" or "privacy violation" or "being a jerk" or whatever...

Cheers! – ugen64 17:30, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

There's no rules about it: m:IRC channel quotes

Proteus and Glenys Kinnock

I don't think you're being entirely fair in putting all the blame on me for Proteus' departure. I have been in dispute with him over Glenys Kinnock in which I have been entirely civil despite receiving some rather uncivil responses. This is a collaborative project and all users have to accept that their opinions may not be shared and work with those with different views; if Proteus is unable to do that, then I'm very sorry but it's his problem and not mine, and if you're saying that I should not have maintained my disagreement then that's the equivalent of saying "No-one shall, whatever their reason and however justified they are, take and maintain a stance in disagreement with Proteus in case he has a hissy fit and refuses to edit any more". I also note that I am not exactly the only person whom Proteus has had a go at recently.

On the subject of the Glenys Kinnock article, I believe that including the title 'Baroness Kinnock' would violate NPOV, in particular Undue weight. The practice of referring to the wives of Barons as Baronesses has practically fallen into desuetude, and Glenys Kinnock does not even use the title "Lady Kinnock". The only Google hits for "Baroness Kinnock" are Misplaced Pages and its mirrors and there are no books which I have found which do so either. I want to suggest a compromise by having 'Lady Kinnock' in bold in the lead sentence as this is a standard usage and fair even though it is a title she does not use. Please let me know what you think. David | Talk 13:39, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

John Hall

Do you really think Hall's FG miss needs to be mentioned in what is now a fairly short article? After the game, I don't know that many people looked back on that as a big deal. Just asking. J1729 20:08, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Good point. The claim that he had his most accurate season was a little bit of a sloppy edit of the fact that 2004 was his previous best season. I'll save it for when I feel like doing a re-write of the entire article. J1729 20:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

1.0 Collaboration of the Week

Hi, I noticed you signed up as a member of the Misplaced Pages:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Misplaced Pages for future publication on CD or paper. Recently, a 1.0 Collaboration of the Week was created to work on essential topics that are in need of improvement, which will ultimately go in a release version of Misplaced Pages. You can help by voting, contributing to an article, or simply making a comment. Thank you for your support. :) Gflores 08:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin

Template:User freedom

You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Misplaced Pages which are shared and which create Lists of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.

There is a Misplaced Pages:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.

Thank you,

Katelyn Faber

Could you weigh in at the bottom of the Talk Page for Katelyn Faber regarding the inclusion of an image of her? User:Tufflaw, who unsuccessfully tried to have the entire article deleted back in December 2005 insists on censoring/deleting it for extremely specious reasons, and I've been asked to gather a consensus. Please read the bottom two sections of that page. Thanks. Nightscream 18:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
