Jeff: I could not find a link on your talk page to send you a private message. If you are so inclined, could you visit my talk page and send me an email? I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Thanks. Labyrinth13 17:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Email sent to you today via the Wiki-link on your talk page. Labyrinth13 17:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry

Who to who? --David Shankbone 14:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It's understandable. You know, I have moments in my history where I got out of hand, or was too emotional in my editing, but I always recognized it. I certainly wasn't fooling myself. It's amazing when people can't see their own behavior. As if a Talk page of warnings, blocks and responses full of snide, defensive remarks isn't evidence enough... Hopefully Ivo will make some good edits. He seems pretty reasonable. But there are now 9 editors in support...this doesn't seem to be all the controversial except for one persistent editor who can't keep his finger off the "Refresh" button for his watchlist. Even other editors who initially seemed to voice lukewarm support for his position have backed away, likely due to his war cries. <sigh> --David Shankbone 14:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I dare you to propose this sentence for the lead in the Buchanan article: James Buchanan (April 23, 1791 – June 1, 1868), also known as Aunt Fancy, was the 15th president of the United States (1857–1861).

Hi

Hi Jeff.

I noticed that, on your userpage, you had the following message:

5) Making sure that Misplaced Pages stays safe for all.

Is there any particular reason you have included the text? I consider it fairly likely I will become an admin in the future and I'd prefer you pointed out what I've done wrong instead of posting a rant on your userpage. Yuser31415 20:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Yuser, have you actually read any of the diffs provided in your RfA? You aren't going become an admin for a very, very long time, if at all. You apparently have too much of a 'tude, don't edit in the mainspace enough, and argue even when you're shown to be in the wrong. Seriously, go do something where you'll be appreciated, like write an FA or try your hand at mediation. Trying again at RfA before the summer will be an exercise in masochism.

Quote policy the way others can quote catechism? Please, you have to do more than say "WP:REDFLAG!!" over and over to be a true wikicatechumen. :) But you're right, it is a bit odd. On the other hand, vandalism patrol is often something that seems to appeal to men when they first sign up, so he may well be legit. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 20:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA

Thanks for updating the count which I forgot to do. Chrislintott 11:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Just so you know

It's not a competition between the two proposals. Even the AUTHOR of the first proposal has expressed support for the current one. Why would you feel it necessary to visit the talk page of one of the support votes and demand that they withdraw support from one of the two?K. Scott Bailey 23:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

KSB, I am feeling wikistalked by you. Please stay the hell off of my talk page. But since you barged in, I simply asked a user to consider striking support for more than one proposal on the page, as it leads to confusion. I didn't say which I preferred. Jeffpw 08:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I can't keep secrets!

After looking at your User page, I have a gift coming your way, but I'm horrible at keeping these things in - never tell me anything you don't want others to know! Let's hope it happens...read below:

Oh my, David! That would be so cool!!!!!!!!!! If it does happen, please tell him you know somebody who worked hard on his Misplaced Pages biography!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You get to meet the most fabulous people! Jeffpw 07:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

My sympathies

Li'l Peter is one thing. But dear god, I see you're grappling with Saint KSB. You know you're staring into the abyss there, mate.—DCGeist 08:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

KSB probably deserves our sympathy, not abuse, suffering as he does from OCD (and hitting the refresh button on your watchlist every 15 seconds certainly qualifies as OCD in my book). But yes, I am staring into the abyss. I must admit, though, that I am learning the art of the filibuster watching him at work. He's waging a war of attrition on the James Buchanan talk page. Jeffpw 08:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

so...

Do you want to request the checkuser, or should I? — coelacan — 08:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I do so hate admin chores, Coelacan, and you're so much better at that sort of thing:-)....which reminds me: why haven't you made a grab for the mop and vaporizer yet? (and I miss the pretty líl kittycat on my page). Jeffpw 08:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Eh, mop, I will when I feel like I need it. I'll go do the checkuser request. It was the "I used to edit wikipedia articles, but left because of user abuse. I myself have been subjected to attack by the LGBT community because of differences of opinion on religious issues" that suggested it to you, yes? — coelacan — 09:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Where the hell are all these cat pictures coming from?! And how cat expressions are there?! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 09:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yup, that was it. Couldn't be more obvious to me. I suppose it might be rjb, but that would surprise me more. But it is an obvious sockpuppet in either case. I note he has put that offensive userpage back up. By the way, nice kitty. :-) Jeffpw 09:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
