Remarks

_*

1. I will post responses below your comment right here, so "watch" my page (or select to watch whatever you edit in your prefs). Same I will expect from you when I message you. Otherwise, continuity is completely lost.
2. You can spy if you want... Only morons don't use e-mail when they want to conspire...
3. My e-mail application actually has a bell thingy. I'll read them faster if you don't message me as well that you sent me one. Actually, it'd be more alarming to send me an e-mail, telling me you've left a message in my talk! :-)
4. This talk is being automatically archived using User:Werdnabot/Archiver. All comments that are older than 10 days are removed and placed in the respective archive. In the rare case I don't respond to a comment, please remind me so.
5. Sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~) that produce your name and the datestamp. The automatic archive doesn't work if it doesn't see a timestamp!

By the way

What are these long lists, vre Nicos?! I got dizzy woth this intimate dialogue with Francis!!!--Yannismarou 13:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I am a founding member of the Epsilon Team and Francis has confessed being in the payrol of the FYROM irredentists. We found out about each other after we had already become friends; no wonder why we are involved in obsessive debates. Fut.Perf. hates dinosaurs with obvious relationships to my secret leader and intervened. Dinosaurs are said to have secretly agreed with northern species for the name Slavomavedonia, but were overthrown before they could apply the solution. This is an attempt to hide the true facts from WP, which involves rouge admins. The Truth will prevail! NikoSilver 14:53, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow! This is even more complex than the murder of Kennedy. I need time to think about it and digest the waves of information!--Yannismarou 20:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Sandy

Thanks for correcting me in coprolalia. Sorry for the apparent WP:OR, but I thought the intro needed to say this is a nuthouse case. Anyway, keep me in mind whenever you need to correct Greek stuff. :-) NikoSilver 19:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help on Greek stuff (I really wasn't sure on the translations): I wouldn't really say it's a nuthouse case, though. I know some very accomplished and fine people who have coprolalia as a symptom of their Tourette syndrome. When I have time, I'll try to tune up the article to better explain. Regards, Sandy (Talk) 19:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Umm, possibly my English/Medical knowledge doesn't help to explain. I meant the intro needed some kind of hint that this is a non-normal mental situation/state. NikoSilver 20:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Help...

I deleted that category, but it seems there are some incoming links to it. Would you mind removing them for me? --HappyCamper 13:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry :-) No fuss at all. This place is too serious sometimes, and I got a healthy laugh reading through the comments! --HappyCamper 13:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I think that will be okay to leave them there. Thanks again for your help! --HappyCamper 13:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Phi Phi pics

NikoSilver, nice shots from Phi Phi. The Muslim village shot doesn't link through correctly (although, clicking on the image page, I do get the full-sized version). Can you fix that up? Also, I assume you took that yourself (as with the other two)? - Thaimoss 16:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC) P.S. You know the name of that village? - Thaimoss 16:02, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I'll see to it and try to fix it (mine worked). Yes, I took that pic myself too, but the captain/guide's English was really poor, and even if he said the name, I don't remember it. Sorry for that. I had hired a speed-boat from Phouket. You might also be interested in correcting/fixing up the James bond Island - Thailand. The picture is accurate, I have a similar one, but no word about the capitalization etc... NikoSilver 21:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Niko, I've taken a first run at the James bond Island - Thailand. Want to move/rename that to Bond (capital 'B')?

Actually 'James Bond' is a nickname due to the movie. They told me the real name but I don't remember at all. Thank God someone else knew it. Now I guess it's ok! NikoSilver 11:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

???

Dear Niko, What is the relation that you use my name in FpaS talk page.?Sory, what is wrong with me? Regards. Must 20:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Nothing Mustafa, don't worry, it was a joke. FPaS advised you not to use test-templates to experienced users, and I used it on him (thereby implying he is unexperienced). I linked your talk to show him where I read it. Have fun. NikoSilver 20:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Either he won't get it (didn't warn you not to use test templates), or it will be an old joke for him, as I bet he's wikistalking all of our talk pages! NikoSilver 20:59, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Of course it was...not. ;-) Khoikhoi 23:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

BTW, what ever happened to your pathetic signature?

Nationalistic botanists

I gotta quit. The exchange was a nice break to the tribal warfare over in Y land, though. Don't forget though that the truth is stranger than fiction. KP Botany 00:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

I wonder where you got the idea to come over and vote for me :)! Thank you very much for your eloquent remarks and vote in support. Biruitorul 15:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Our last discussion was indicative of your morale. I noticed your RfA and thought I should browse you. I liked the findings. I only vote for/against people I've seen around. NikoSilver 15:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you want to throw a look in this terrible mess of nice ideas! NikoSilver 15:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Request

Hello Niko. I need your advice if you're in a position to help. Originally when I created my account (User:Evlekis), you sent the welcome note. Am I to assume that this makes you an administrator! I don't know, anyhow, my only purpose is to extend articles, correct what I see as errors and generally edit much like any other user. I am occasionally subjected to revert-wars and I am in the middle of one at the moment. A User:DJ Bungi seems to have little better to do than design his own articles with regards persons from the former Yugoslavia, particularly those born within the old country, and remove their country of birth as being Yugoslavia. He never does this when the subject is born before its creation (ie. you won't find him removing Venetian Republic and replacing it with Croatia etc). He also likes to wipe out Cyrillic translations of peoples names: I apply Cyrillic names to people born in FYR Macedonia, Serbia or Montenegro at any time as the Cyrillic alphabet is to those places what the Greek alphabet is to Greece; naturally, if a person born anywhere else declares FYR-Macedonian, Serbian or Montenegrin nationality/ethnicity etc, then I place Cyrillic for much the same reasons, in that it is a sign of the people of the respective nation (whether they choose to use it or not). It does not take much space and it causes offence to nobody. Country naming is itself biographical and relevant to the article's subject. When he does this, he often reverts pages to old editions which wipe out many more details. I always believed that editors have the right to add info, others have the right to query it, but removal needs to be justified and one is not allowed to remove details simply because he doesn't like them: I hate the fact that NATO put bombs on Yugoslavia in 1999 but I don't alter the page as though it never happened! A recent example of a revert-war with Bungi boy is here:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Seka_Alek%C5%A1i%C4%87&diff=83890276&oldid=83418871

It took me a while to spot it but when I did: then came this -

• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Seka_Alek%C5%A1i%C4%87&diff=90381671&oldid=89266504

Anyhow, assuming there would be more than just a protest against Cyrillic and his misfortune of seeing Bosnia once in Yugoslavia, I realised that my own reverts may have been deleting something vital from his preferred version, I read through it and the only significant feature was a Bosnia-bio-stub. So I replaed the old edits having included the bio stub as such:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Seka_Alek%C5%A1i%C4%87&diff=91345309&oldid=91219206

...to which the next edit was:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Seka_Alek%C5%A1i%C4%87&diff=91554248&oldid=91345309

How do you deal with someone like that? No doubt when he rises from his pit as sun sets he will retrun to his nonsense.

So I then reverted the edit back to its original (but I will replace the Croatian link). Are you in a position to warn him officially that such behaviour is vandalism, if not, to whom do I go? Thanks for your time Niko. Evlekis 10:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Interesting. For some reason it won't show on your system. This was all on the English language Wiki but it is possible that when you click on the link (which takes you to the page via the search bar, that is externally), it takes you to something else. Fair enough, do you know any admin personnel? I'd be glad if you could give me the details of someone who might be able to help! Ευχαριστώ! Γειά σασ για τόρα! Evlekis 14:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Niko, it is all clear now what you meant. I think this is a behaviour dispute because he has a habit of removing Cyrillic examples of people's names and their country of birth as Yugoslavia when everyone knows that's how it was in 1981! I think the anti-country argument is that "country is not necessary" so in a sense, it is a mixture of content and attitude. Duja is a good editor but at the moment I'm waiting for him to get back to me on something else totally different, and there is no such thing as a neutral POV editor who is Serbian, not atleast if you happen to be Bosnian and set on your own narrow vision! :) Thanks again for replying and helping as best you could, thanks also for your time, keep up your good contributions!

Arghh! The composition of the Supreme Cabal Regime's politburo has been unveiled! How are we going to rule the world now? We The people must believe that There Is No Cabal; we've got to make a cover-up, so that they don't understand that we are the old Backbone cabal. I'll promptly consult with our leader.

Do you think you could be a mediator at the edit war taking place here?--Euthymios 18:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't give a about the tags on it. The very worse I can think, is someone trying to reason with him in -say- Bulgarian, and him not responding, therefore keep being banned! NikoSilver 18:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

BTW I hope none of my fellow members of the EYP had anything to do with Litvinenko's death. Hectorian told me something the other day which made feel worried - you should always tell me these things! :-D --Euthymios 18:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
