I've been very busy with hospital tests (don't worry- nothing wrong with me) which mean I may have blinked and missed something for a few hours over the last couple of days. If so, my apologies, and bear with me, normal service is now resumed. :)

Not an article, but...

I'm planning on making a Misplaced Pages: page, intended as humour, about Wikipedianism, in the same context as Animalism. I need a fake Communist-reminiscent flag, similar to the hammer and sickle, like the hoof and horn flag, both below:

Gimme some help, make a flag like the hammer and sickle or something.

N.B. This is NOT a wikifaun.--Editor510 11:07, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Well answer me then!--Editor510 20:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll write an article 1 day, but first I want to get into the general feel of creating pages. I think after this, I'll be ready.--Editor510 07:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

ip vandalism

I'll cop to what I did in the past (and have done so) - I have no idea what that AN/I report is about, it's nothing to do with me. As for the charge that I'm a SPA obsessed with deletion, that's a lot of old bollocks - I'll take my licks for what I've done but that's revisionist history - my contribution history speaks for itself:

Well I would confirm my identity by editing my fred day account - but it's locked down in such a way, that it's uneditable by me. --87.113.118.192 (talk) 14:06, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Help, now, please, go

I have an issue with Daniel. Please can you go to his talkpage and add to my apology, I'm worried he'll become a WikiEnemy and want to block me! HELP ME!--Editor510 16:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

What ... the ... Daniel (talk) 16:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, Dan. It's sorted. Leave it. Just leave it. Never look back. Leave it.--Editor510 12:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Sticky...

I'm going on a wikibreak. I can't change my Wikistress-o-meter because my page is protected. I am now very sad because of these people. All I wanted is fun. I'm not happy. Good job I'm going to Bulgaria anyway. See you in two weeks. I hope you complain to these people, upsetting a kind person like me.--Editor510 17:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Ye, I do. And its gone. For good. I'll think up some other prank...>:->--Editor510 12:30, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Are you, by chance...

...from Toronto? I don't want to ask about specific areas or whatnot on a public page like wikipedia, but I'm moving to the general area somewhat soon, and thought I remembered seeing something about that here. I don't see it now though, so maybe I'm remembering wrong. Unforgiven24 (talk) 19:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

About User:Fredrick day's unblock request, I'd hoped it was a hopeful sign. But not yet, apparently.

I think it is truly unfortunate. I saw it and believed it was important that any administrator considering an unblock realize the depth of the matter. Contrary to what was implied in Steve's request, Alle wasn't blocked merely for block evasion, but that was simply the least disruptive way to deal with his behavior, since it avoided RfC, ArbComm, and that huge fuss and the inevitable contentious debates. It was hard enough just to file the SSP report and Checkuser request, as you know. If you aren't familiar with it, I'd urge you to read my recent edits to Fd's talk page.

I tried to make clear in my comments that I was not opposed to unblock, intrinsically. I agree with the Misplaced Pages policy that we don't punish. However, it would seem to be essential, for us not to fear that recent behavior would simply be repeated, that Fd show that he can respond civilly and constructively to criticism, assuming good faith. His reaction showed that he is far from ready to do that. Basically, it will be necessary for him to face the full impact of what he did, and probably would have continued to do. It isn't deletion and cleanup, that's a necessary function. But how it is done is crucial. POV-pushing pales as a problem compared to uncivil and ungenerous deletion. (By ungenerous I mean "unwelcoming," that the attitude is essentially "go away, you can't do what you want to do," rather than, "Well, if you want to do this, you would have to satisfy that guideline or find a consensus that it is proper. If I can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to ask." Real vandals will ignore that, or spit on it.

Good luck. --Abd (talk) 15:46, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

yeah, well, i think your name is inappropriate

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome back. I've gotten caught up in building a webpage for my water polo team, and have been having so much fun I've been neglecting wikipedia. So far, it's only the home page, but I'm pretty happy with it and am ready to start the subpages. people.tamu.edu/~bradenkeith if you're interested. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradenkeith (talk • contribs) 05:21, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Your adoptee needs some help and advice

User:Presumptive, having formed the opinion that the opening sentence of September 11, 2001 attacks is wrong, and having first raised the matter on the Talk page, went on to change the lead of the article to match their prefered wording and against accepted style. A variety of (to my mind) clumsy and ungrammatical proposals and attempts were made to change the lead sentence. Presumptive has since added an OR tag to the article based on the belief, not that the article's current title is wrong, but that the lead sentence should not use the same phrase. The latest development is an RfC on whether the wording is OR and must be changed.

This is an awful lot of effort (see the Talk page) for something which, to me, could be resolved fairly easily as a proposed move to a new title. I note that Presumptive responded to receiving the standard 9/11 arbcom sanctions warning by removing it (on the basis that they were not being disruptive according to another editor). Having adopted Presumptive, I assume that you believe so too. However, disruption even if unintentional is definitely occuring. I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
