Dear Rockpocket, | |||
I am user riveros11 /avyakt7. I am contacting you because you are an Admin who had some connection with Jossi. | |||
In Jossi's talk page you will see the following: | |||
Dear Jossi, | |||
Thank you for clarifying in the article. I need to point out that at least 3 days were given for a final attempt to provide reliable resources. Note "3 day drill" in the talk page for every single part of the article. Needless to say, the previous editors have never produce a single reliable resource. User TalkAbout and the IP address ending in .244 (user known as .244) were the main editors of that article. Since previous notification was given, when do you believe I should erase those parts without reliable resources? Thank You, avyakt7 21:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
Three days is quite minimal. Be generous and wait a few more days. You can place a note that "unless sources are provided by such and such date, the material in secton X and sction Y will be removed." That way it is transparent and you give notice. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 21:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
Admin Rockpocket, I have been waiting until November 18 to make the changes. User:195.82.106.244 In the meantime was blocked and he insisted in changing the page without previous discussion. I have not heard from Jossi about this. His support is required in this case. There is an "outtside" user who has been watching the page his user name is Sethie, you may obtain unbiased information from him. | |||
There is a need for a prompt action on this. In a way I am defending my faith, Brahma Kumaris from ex members who started this article to begin with the only aim of defaming a fine religious movement. The page has been changed by user .244 and all the suggestions by admin Jossi and tags, have been removed by this user. | |||
Thank you for your attention to this and certainly look forward to your reply in my talk page. Best Wishes, AVYAKT7 /Riveros11 ] 19:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC) |

E-mail for you, Rockpocket. SlimVirgin 21:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks!
Greetings Rockpocket and thank you for adopting me! I will probably have lots of questions for you in the future, but for now do you have any tips as to how I can get better with this editing code Misplaced Pages uses? I think I have the basics but I don’t really know how to use the templates or how to work with photographs. Thanks again! S.dedalus 23:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Rockpocket playing with legal matters
The Irish Government has been informed of the terms used and of your edits regarding The British isles. This is not just a matter of opinion but a legal matter as stated in the edits regarding the Irish Government's standing. All forms of media are under scrutiny by the Irish Government and the Irish Embasy of London for abuses of the term "British Isles" referring to Ireland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billthekid77 (talk • contribs)
- There goes my plans of a weekend in Dublin, then. Will they be sending the Garda round? Seriously, though, i have no problem with an explanation of the Irish Government's position on the term. However, the lead paragraph of the article is not the place for it, and it must adhere to Misplaced Pages's neutral language policies. Oh, and while it doesn't bother me, be aware of WP:LEGAL - some editors would not take too kindly to suggestions that you may have precipitated legal action against them. Rockpocket 08:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
The user Frankdeano has no relationship to me..and is not a WPSOCK....before you start making false accusations, you should get some evidence...also..there seems to be a lot of people favouring the account of clearly stating the Irish position on this. Billthekid 06/11/2006
- Hello Bill. If you read my message carefully, you will notice I purposely avoided accusing you of sock puppetry. I pointed out the possible co-incidence that could be interpreted as such (see WP:SOCK#Circumventing_policy), noted that it could easily be confirmed one way or the other (see WP:RCU). I then advised that if you had been using two accounts then it would be better to stop now. As for evidence: I could request a CheckUser which would settle the matter definitively, but i would rather simply inform you of how it appears and let you proceed as you choose. If you have not been using two accounts then you have nothing to worry about, however, If the co-incidental co-operative editing continues to give the appearance of avoiding 3RR, then it will inevitably be checked out and the evidence provided one way or the other.
- Irrespective of the number of people favouring your position (even though i can only find you and Frankdeano (talk · contribs) doing the reverting currently), the content you wish to ad is simply not appropriate per WP:LEAD. As i have said before, I have no dispute with you adding the information, but please don't add it as the second sentence of an article. Thank you. Rockpocket 05:00, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
More Questions
Hi, thanks for all your help with the editing code. Looks like I’ve got lot’s to learn! ;-) I recently did some editing to the Works section in the John Coolidge Adams page, and in doing so ran into a string of commands obviously used to space text on the page. Like this!
I figured out how to use it from context, but I wonder if you could tell me what page to look at to learn more about this. I couldn’t find this addressed in WP:EDIT.
Also what is “my watchlist” for? Thanks! S.dedalus 23:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
RfA thanks
Hi Rockpocket, and thanks for your participation at the recent RfA, which did not succeed. For those of you who expressed their support, your kind words and your trust are sincerely appreciated. For those who were opposed --especially those who offered their constructive criticism-- please accept this message as assurance that equally sincere efforts, aimed at enhancing the quality and accuracy of representations within the Misplaced Pages, will continue. Striving for improved collaboration and consensus will also continue, with all of your insights in mind, while applying NPOV ideals as fairly and reasonably as possible.

Hi,
Since you're offerering to help:) I'm trying to install navigational aides but haven't had any success getting my monoskin to work. Any suggestions? --Duke of Duchess Street 01:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Congratulations
Nevermind, my monobook seems to be working now. Thanks for your note, my opposition wasn't based on anything personal I just thought some of the things that a few other people raised might be a problem. Congratulations on your adminship! --Duke of Duchess Street 02:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks
Thank you so much, Rockpocket, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me.

RfA thanks
Hi Rockpocket, and thanks very much for your support during my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 64/0/0. I am grateful for the overwhelming support I received from the community, and hope I will continue to earn your trust as I expand my participation on Misplaced Pages. It goes without saying that if you ever need anything and I can help, please let me know. Wait, I guess it does go with saying. ; ) --cholmes75 15:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC) |
Late Congratulations
Hi Rockpocket! and congratulations on becoming an administrator! No one deserves it more then you. I’m just sorry I didn’t see your request in time to add my support. Cheers S.dedalus 01:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Dalbury's RfA
My RfA passed with a tally of 71/1/0. Thank you very much for your support. I hope that my performance as an admin will not disappoint you. Please let me know if you see me doing anything inappropriate. -- Donald Albury 03:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Animal rights
You are wholly correct. I apologise.--Anthony.bradbury 18:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. I appreciate - in the company of likeminded people - that one can say things one might normally say. You are a strong editor, Tony, and I know at least one current administrator is pondering nominating you for adminship. If this is something you would be interested in, and if I may offer additional advice, it would be to be careful of associating too closely with DocEss. He too is a skillful editor, but clearly has problems working in a manner the community finds civilly acceptable. While his zeal is admirable, WP is not the place for zealots.
