Misplaced Pages

call it an award if you want

Template:Osbus's cucumber barn star A while ago you welcomed me under a different username, Afc3737. Well here I am btw is your book about Misplaced Pages? B/c I already started writing one :). --Osbus 23:46, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

On my userpage, how do I align the boxes vertically on the right?

Re:book

The book Im writing is along the lines of wiki-culture and focuses on WP. Nevertheless, I have plenty of ideas for your book...but is it meant to be published and read by WP editors or the general public? Good luck, --Osbus 02:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for coming back and not getting blocked! Your edit summaries are looking a lot better now. --TantalumTelluride 02:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I concur. —Nightstallion (?) 14:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I surely hope that you will try for nomination. --Nearly Headless Nick 09:38, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello

I just saw you and dropped in to say hello. How are you? Busy, I am sure. I wish you all the best for your new role in the real life. --Bhadani 16:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Our red tape and processes and all the attendant paraphernalia created to save and value add to wikipedia may be doing more harm than the good. Still, I being an eternal optimist shall do my part to improve the credibility of the Project and make it an encyclopedia in the truest sense than an encyclopedia based on consensus, and ultimately the largest blog created in the human history! Nice to hear from you. --Bhadani 17:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

You shoukd re-create your article on Wikinfo or another wiki. — goethean ॐ 18:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

You might also try re-creating it here - the only reason it was deleted here was because the article was created by a banned user. If you recreate it and reliably source it, it potentially would not be deleted. FCYTravis 22:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

My dear Karmafist

My dear Karmafist, seing you showing up your beautiful face once again has filled me with joy - can I hope this means you're back with us? Please say you do....

Please take care, and I hope to see you back asap - big hugs, Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 19:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Research Survey Request

Hello, I am a member of a research group at Palo Alto Research Center (formerly known as Xerox PARC) studying how conflicts occur and resolve on Misplaced Pages. Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Misplaced Pages (e.g., as a member of the Mediation Cabal) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

Civility parole violation

I have blocked you for 48 hours for a violation of your civility parole with this edit. I just do not understand why you are constantly pushing the buttons as much as possible. A cursory glance over your block log seems to indicate that you have chronic problems with keeping yourself in check, and if this goes on any longer, you will end up facing the one year block per your RFAR sanction. --Cyde↔Weys 17:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Agree. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I have extended your block to 1 week per the terms of your arbitration probation. I was actually trying to be nice with only 48 hours, but your response made me realize the leniency wasn't deserved. --Cyde↔Weys 17:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I can't condone removing block notices and calling them "spam", but a block for that edit? There's a difference between criticism and uncivility. I see no name-calling or other similiar malfeasance here. Are you sure you're not looking too hard for reasons to block? Friday (talk) 17:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

See ; Between deciding not to contribute to the encyclopedia and incivility, Karmafist is choosing to walk a tightrope. Calling that edit -- a notification of a block -- "spam" while removing it is incivil in my book, and is a return to behavior that was raising hackles just a few weeks ago on this talkpage, actually. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

This has the hallmark of kicking someone when they are down. "*Delete due to Kelly's reputation, it appears to be a hitlist of some sort." is simple precis of the whole argument: If no one had thought it was a hitlist, no one would have cared. I'd like to see this block lifted. - Aaron Brenneman 03:33, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I've also removed the protection to this page. If someone removes a warning, replacing the warning and instructing them not to removing it may be appropiate, but there appears to e little consensus on this. Protecting the page after one removal is clearly overkill. --brenneman 03:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I support this block in view of the animus Karmafist has developed; describing such attacks as a "simple precis of the whole argument" isn't helping to make Misplaced Pages a reasonable place in which Kelly and others can work. Simply put, we can do without such loutish behavior and those who condone it. The protection was also reasonable in the circumstances, but not strictly necessary. --Tony Sidaway 19:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

We are talking about the creation of pseudo-attack lists with the stated aim of getting an adminstrator to block her, right? Because the suggestion that Karmafist was the uncivil one here is simply astounding. - brenneman 15:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

There was no attack list nor anything that could be described as a pseudo-attack list. You're simply repeating and compounding Karmafist's attack. --Tony Sidaway 04:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd direct you to the meaning of "pseudo." Kelly had, by her own declaeration, created a pseduo-attack list in order to bait another adminstrator into deleting it/blocking her. She re-created multiple versions of this list after it was deleted. Karmafist accurately decribed the public perception, and does not in fact appear to be expressing his own opinon. To suggest that this was an attack, out of the blue, on someone just casually minding her own business is simply bizarre. - brenneman 04:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

You're simply repeating, in different permutations, your own misconception of what Kelly did and said. This appears to based upon the most malicious possible interpretation of her words, And that is pretty much what got Karmafist blocked under his incivility parole. --Tony Sidaway 04:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

How many possible interpretations are there of "I created it for one express purpose: to see if El C would jerk his knee and attempt to punish me for creating it."? - Aaron Brenneman 05:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I only want to address your misinterpretation, which is that "Kelly had, by her own declaeration, created a pseduo-attack list in order to bait another adminstrator into deleting it/blocking her." That interpretation can only have been based on the purest malice. --Tony Sidaway 05:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Hmm

I'm sorry to learn that you're in the midst of a conflict; I do hope that things eventually get sorted, and that when the block elapses, you will still be interested in contributing to the project. You are a good contributor.

Oh, and extremely belated thanks for voting on my RfA. DS 02:07, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't let the bastards win!

Just a reminder: You still have a lot more friends and supporters here than enemas. Please don't let a bunch of bullying, petty-minded, vindictive fools get you down. This is still OUR community, inspite of their best(worst) efforts to turn it into their own egotrip playground. Should they succeed, all our work will have been wasted and this project will be rendered a bigger joke than even Colbert could conceive. Courage and Truthiness my friend,--R.D.H.
