You have the audacity to talk about protecting families and children from the homosexual menace, while you yourselves tear apart families and drive children to despair. I don't know why my son is gay, but I do know that God didn't put him, and millions like him, on this Earth to give you someone to abuse.

He has to be the most bored person on this planet. I hope he reads this too. He just likes to argue and have the last word even if he is completely wrong. Notice not a single admin has replied to him and notice he didn't deny that he was watchlisting your page and removed those categories on purpose while you were away. I'm waiting for him to run to ANI and say, "APK said I was bored!! That's a personal attack! Someone, pay attention to me!!" AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:59, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
It's so obvious to anyone who knows the history beginning with the userbox issue, to the removal of categories from my user page, what his motive is here. This is why I will not participate any further in the discussion at WQA. Beating a dead horse indeed, let him beat himself to death. And as if I've had much time to write any articles.. no, I've only been dealing with my home having burned down. I know that's been made clear to anyone who keeps up with this page but I guess some people just don't get obviousness. Then again, anyone crying "write an article!" would do well to follow that advice rather than worry about some content on a humor page that doesn't mention a single person. Personal attack indeed. ;] - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 10:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Seriously, how old is this kid? I love how he's telling me to go work on articles. Compare his recent contributions to mine. He's one of those kids that always wants the last word. It makes him feel he's right. Still, no admins have replied to his pointless posts and what makes it fun is that I know he's reading this. Anyway, so how is the house situation coming along? I know you said you're out of a hotel room. Did you tell the insurance company that they're gonna sleep with the fishes if they don't pay you a million dollars? (I asked my cousin, Vinnie, to pay them a visit if they don't.) :P AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 13:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I think it's way past time for this. I think the community is tired of his attacks. I don't want to revert that dif, but I am going to let someone else do it (you or APK, please don't do it, because that's a COI). Also, anyone can add to this...right now it's not a top priority for me, but I will be adding to the discussion sporadically. Cheers, and everything will be okay. Thanks. miranda06:06, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I think I am done with my section. I can propose this to be adopted next Friday. Send me your thoughts via e-mail whenever you have time. Cheers. miranda21:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I forgot, I gathered some links for you to help you make your rebuttal (since you have limited access due to your home situation). He thinks that I am compiling evidence and speaking on behalf of you. I don't think his accusations are with merit because I do more good than bad on Misplaced Pages (i.e. upload free images, article building, GAs/FAs/DYK, reverting vandalism, banner creations, etc.). He has not done anything of that nature, except to disrupt the process. Also, I do not care if he wants to have a pity fit over someone bringing light to his actions. When he AfD those articles, I literally was very angry to my soul, because I wanted to make AKA featured on Jan. 15, 2008, as a part of the centennial celebration. However, that did not occur. The AfD process slowed down the FA nom, IMHO. His nomination of articles which one user solely has worked on without notifying them is considered stalking. When I see that he is trolling and acting uncivil to other users than me, harassing, etc., actions immediately need to be made. He has been warned many times to stop his POV pushing behavior, (once with Wikiquette alerts, two mediation cabals, etc.), and I truly think this user wants to get his own way instead of having consensus made by other users. I am going to ask Alan.ca to comment because he has interacted with Justin before. Also, I am not asking for external comments, yet. So if anyone has comments, please wait until we have gathered all of the evidence in order to present to the community. Thanks. miranda02:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, he conveniently forgets my house burned down and my internet access is limited. Nevermind the fact that there may be discussions going on in email, off wiki that he is not aware of. He really should stop assuming things and wait for the final report. I'll try an work on this tomorrow now that the weekend is here and I have some "me" time. Thanks. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 03:31, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Give me two weeks, or so. Kind of busy IRL. Also, this is an RFC, not a community ban. RFC >> Community ban. Mediation is not included, because 2 mediation cabals have existed, and I just don't feel like mediating with this user, because he will push his POV, regardless of the outcome, and disregard consensus. Also, I don't see any obvious content improvements, which is frankly sad, imho. miranda03:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Just overlook HiDrNick. He has a previous dispute with me and there's no doubt his MfD is related. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 17:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, if you review the talk page of this article you will see that the inclusion of references to Roosevelt's possible lesbian relationship has been the subject of extensive debate, and the consensus view has been that as there's no strong evidence which supports the claims that she had lesbian relationships the article shouldn't portray her as a lesbian. I suggest that you engage the editors with an interest in Eleanor Roosevelt in discussion before riding roughshod over this consensus. Cheers, --Nick Dowling (talk) 09:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I did read the talk page before restoring the LGBT Project banner. However, WikiProject banners are not subject to content and/or consensus. If a WikiProject feels an article falls under its scope, it may tag the article with the project banner. Whether or not Roosevelt was/was not a lesbian is irrelevant in this particular case. What is relevant is that she is a gay icon, just as Judy Garland and Madonna. Therefore, Roosevelt does fall under the scope of the Misplaced Pages LGBT WikiProject. I will give you opportunity to restore the banner before seeking discussion elsewhere in a more formal process. Thanks. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 14:40, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Can you please clarify what "I will give you opportunity to restore the banner before seeking discussion elsewhere in a more formal process" means? Every time someone has added Roosevelt to a LGBT category in the past it's been rapidy revoked, so you do need to discuss this if you want the tagging to stick. How about we take this discussion to the Eleanor Roosevelt article's talk page? --Nick Dowling (talk) 09:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm quite familiar with that template, as you might guess, as I am also a "regular." However, the willful, improper blanking of my contribution was so egregious that in this particular case I believe my use of that template was more than warranted. Badagnani (talk) 00:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I see, you're a friend of the editor whom I templated. Whatever the case, improper blanking cannot be supported, whether or not we are a friend of the editor who conducted such improper blanking. Badagnani (talk) 00:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Misplaced Pages namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 02:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
