Latest on you

Hiya, you're an idiot. No offence like, but you go around telling people what to add, edit, publish on issues that you have no real interest in. Why squander the will of others to spread the word and the info on certain subjects by deleting full topics?? Most of the time with bad grammar anyway. As someone rightly pointed out to you "articles have to start somewhere".

And by the way you "WRITE" with a pen, "RIGHT" is the opposite of left, numptie.

Pro-Lick's user page

While I'm no fan of him, I am curious as to why you keep removing the link to his blog. JoshuaZ 04:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, but taking out the link doesn't deal with that all. The user should probably be indef banned by an admin, but taking the link out doesn't help matters at all. Like when Gastrich made wiki4christ.com, it was just as disruptive whether or not he had a link to it is basically irrelevant. JoshuaZ 04:14, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Indef-block for an editor with at least some history of good contributions is usually only done by reference to ArbCom, in my experience, unless they do something very extreme. I am not sure this case warrants an indef-block, although a block is unquestionably in order and an RfC would be entirely reasonable. Just zis Guy you know? 15:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

He called for large scale vandalism and POV pushing on his blog and detailed how to do it. Nor is he at all repetant. An indef block seems completely reasonable to me. JoshuaZ 17:32, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You Deleted My Work in Progess

Hey: I'd appreciate if you'd not delete my Atreides Family Tree; I'm not used to the "code" for family trees yet, which is why it didn't look right. Thanks. :) Zidel333 16:25, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, was working on article writing, then got interrupted, and had to volunteer for 6 hours. This article is using the Family Tree of the Greek Gods, Solo family, and Skywalker family as guides.

However, could you have possibly waited before deleting it again? Seriously. It would be nice you'd try to warn the last contributor before deleting. It sounds like common sense, or even plain courtesy, but would be quite helpful for people who might need a little help (i.e. like me), and can be taken very badly.

Zidel333 02:20, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You know, you just proved my point from above. And articles have to start somewhere.

Hoary's sig

Hoary signed it. I hope you will consider changing your vote. Cheers, from Hoary's former Wikistudent.--Tdxiang 陈 鼎 翔 (Talk)ContributionsContributions Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 09:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Zoe!--Tdxiang 陈 鼎 翔 (Talk)ContributionsContributions Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 09:55, 4 April 2006 (UTC) This was preceded by Hoary placing his signature on his Rfa page, which let to Zoe's change of vote from neutral to support.

Pro-Lick

Hi, Pro-Lick just mailed me complaining that he was unfairly blocked. I've blocked him a few times myself for a 3RR vio but don't really know what he's been up to. I couldn't find any discussion on WP:ANI on blocking him indefinitly. Could you give me a pointer? Cheers, —Ruud 17:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't really know anything about the situation, so I'm not going to unblock, but I do think you should post this on WP:ANI. Cheers, —Ruud 17:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Pro-Lick

Zoe, hi.

I've been in touch with Pro-Lick, and I'm ready to support an unblocking, and to unblock the account myself if nobody opposes, based on what was said in email, where the user expressed an understanding that their behavior had crossed lines, a willingness to adapt and change, and a desire to participate constructively, as well as evidence of better-faith editing shortly before the block. I don't want to do anything without contacting you, the blocking admin. I'm also posting at the AN/I section. Please let me know if you have any concerns I can address regarding this matter. Thanks. -GTBacchus 06:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. If he continues to be disruptive and you reblock, I won't object at all, and I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. Let's give him this chance though, and not assume it'll go badly. -GTBacchus 19:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't keep track of what his blog site was and I'd like to take a look at his updated recommendation. Do you remember what the website was? JoshuaZ 03:40, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Emo Rangers deletion

Holy shit! Why the hell did you delete my paper?

You're going to have to tell me the page name, I can't find any article by that name in the list of articles I have deleted. User:Zoe| 19:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I have a new concern, Zoe

You might want to take a look at the deletions, contributions, and creations of this user . I was particularly concerned with what he/she has done with . There are several items that he/she seems to have been actively vandalizing. Kukini 00:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Rikki Lee Travolta

Hi, could you take a look at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Possible_advertising_scam and consider whether the users involved should be blocked. Thanks Arniep 02:51, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia_talk:Censorship

A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you knidly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 10:12, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

A new concern

Please take a look at the combination of multiple AfD additions on sexually-oriented articles as well as the blanking of content by the following . Thanks much, as always, Kukini 15:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:English_Civil_War#North_America

Please tell me what your take is on the issues. I'm just as interested, with my own input as well. IP Address 04:46, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

<<::Read The Cousins’ Wars: Religion, Politics, Civil Warfare, and the Triumph of Anglo–America, by Kevin Phillips. His thesis is that the English Civil War, the American Revoultion, and the American Civil War are all one long drawn-out war with the same combatants. -- Zoe>>

What are your personal views on it? Have you read this? What's your thought on that as well? IP Address 00:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I am uncertain how I think about these books. They overinflate the Protestant heritage and conveniently ignore the Catholic colonists also from the UK. They basically glorify the Nonconformist/Dissenter sects/churches, while frowning sour on the Anglican/Episcopal side and not mentioning the Catholics. White slaves and servants were most often Celtic Catholics, but who cares about White Niggers sent in death ships? I am particularly incensed that the Evangelical lobby used to and still does on occasion, continue to blast the Greco-Roman immigrants from Europe. That flies right in the face of the American Revolution, which was supposed to reinstitute the (neo) classical form of civilisation and which obviously sourced from the Greco-Roman cultures of Catholicism and Orthodoxy. It should be plainly apparent, that Protestant heritage is Celtic or Germanic Barbarians and Vikings. One can go to Canada for such focus. IP Address 02:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Are you inferring on scholastics about historical-political-ethnic heritages in these books? IP Address 03:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Are you inferring that the Republican politics are related to the analysis of materials and writing of history with certain biases, especially for Puritans and against "Papists"? IP Address 00:25, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

So, this means you basically agree with the identification of Republicans as descendents of Puritans? That's what Albion's Seed says. IP Address 01:31, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Wendy Curry

It would be helpful if you'd discuss your reasons for reverting this article to the redirect on the article's Talk page. Thanks. — ciphergoth 08:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. Members of BiNet USA have created bios for many people involved in the organisation, including Luigi Ferrer, Gary North (journalist and activist), and Sheela Lambert - are these articles OK? — ciphergoth 15:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

The Sheela Lambert article is extremely long and detailed about someone whom I, personally, feel is nn, and I'd like some info as to what Gary North has edited. His labor work might make him weakly notable. The Ferrer link is red, is there another article title? User:Zoe| 15:56, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

we were just about to ask where the rest of the this discussion was prior to it being reverted.

just a few points, while Ms. Curry is indeed a member of BiNet USA (she is an officer of that organization) I and several other people who have been adding /updating bi (+ general NYC related LGBT) articles are not members and have no affiliation with it other than knowing of it's existence. If you were under that impression and that coloured you reading of our work we are sorry if we somehow gave you that mistaken impression.

We are not doing anything at the behest of anyone, we are just random bi people who are computer literate and very tired of being told we don't exist or having our accomplishments, community, institutions or our very persons erased, nullified or attributed to others.

we can see that the Sheela Lambert article is not correct, but if you will notice it is the first article a new wikipedia editor User:Snoopy753. He is in the middle of cutting it down severely and then making sure it all was properly referenced to meet standards. Obviously he has not accomplished this task yet. We have been e-mailing him about this, (& I only know him via e-mailed help requests).

The Wendy Curry article was likewise not in proper format, we noticed this to and e-mailed someone who knows her, but the article a was reverted before anyone could make a move to fix it.

It would be more helpful if people spoke to us and guided us rather than making unwarranted assumptions about who are, why we are doing things or just deleting articles without giving anyone a chance to bring them up to standard and to prove 'notability'.CyntWorkStuff 17:06, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I should have mentioned - Ferrer was deleted as NN. I'm just giving you some of the history. If I could only go back and see my edits to deleted articles, I'd be able to point out more such instances. Thanks for helping with this - I've been trying to get these reviewed, for which I've been accused of saying the people involved didn't exist, and of an anti-bisexual bias. For the record I've been a bisexual activist for well over a decade. — ciphergoth 16:23, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry that Ms. Curry, a person who I only know via general bi moment Internet contact, made those intemperate comments.

But you do remember that part of our previous discussion was that you had approved an initial Speedy delete of various articles (with no contact or discussion) on the grounds that you were a bi activist and didn't know them . . . yet you are a bi activist in the UK and the articles were in reference to USA people. It might be natural then, meaning no disrespect to you, your position in the UK Bi Movement, etc. that you might not be up on all things bisexual world-wide.

Additionally, you may remember that, you, I and User:Paolo Liberatore had an extensive discussion regarding the notability of Luigi Ferrer (see links , , ). As a result that article is being rewritten off line to meet standards and will be reintroduced. CyntWorkStuff 17:30, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

In response to your query on Talk:Haikouichthys

What does "Luo, Hu & Shu" mean? -- Zoe

   Names of its discoverers, listed after the species name. Freederick 11:34, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Gnome (bot)

Thanks for unblocking it. Below is a link to the bot's operation criteria. If you are interested, please look it over and see if there is anything else wrong with it. (I want to try to avoid a second block:-).

User:Gnome (Bot)/Help/CleanupCriteria

P.S. If you find need to block it agian, go right ahead!!! Just please give me a better idea of what it is doing wrong, and an explenation of why what it is doing is wrong. (I want to program a useful bot!!)

Eagle (talk) (desk) 17:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Agian, please let me know if there is something wrong, (when I run it). But most important please tell me where and why what it did was wrong. (i.e. what article). My bot gives me a output on what it sees on every page, and if it does something, it tells me why it did what it did, (what criteria the bot made the edit under). Thank you.

Basically what I am saying is, if it makes a mistake, block it. but please tell me why what it did was wrong, and what edit it did was wrong. (I can than fix the code)Eagle (talk) (desk) 19:09, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Pertaining To 'Change History'

Well you could email me . Or if your wondering what I mean by reply, I just mean, please leave a comment.

Thanks.

24.70.95.203 21:51, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about. User:Zoe| 21:54, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

e-mail

Assuming you have your user preferences set to something besides /dev/null, you should be receiving an e-mail about a particular issue on which I'd like your opinion. Please reply at your earliest convenience. — Apr. 9, '06 <freakofnur_xture|talk>

disappointing

Apparently a few people disagree with me on the issue, some of whom imply it was unreasonable to even consider such a possibility. Backstabbers, AGF'ers, I can't tell the difference anymore. — Apr. 10, '06 <freakofnur_xture|talk>

Apparently WP:NPA is relaxed for admins.--Pro-Lick 19:30, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Explanation of that edit

That was probably my younger brother. He probably did it as a prank when I forgot to log off earlier today. I should remember to log off more. :-o

BTW, I didn't even know he did it until I received this.

Trolling?

Hey, why is that trolling? I only suggested Swedenman and Snowtroper to change name, because they continuously log in and get blocked... i was only giving a simple advice, nothing more. I'm here to help 22:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
