Controversy vs Conspiracy Theories

Please justify your removal of my edition on the correspondent talk page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Normal nick (talk • contribs) .

I did.--MONGO 04:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

No you didn't. You commented the off-topic secction. I was talking about the "Biased and Non-Standard Section Title "Conspiracy Theories"" section, particularily speaking about the "motivations for the change".— Preceding unsigned comment added by Normal nick (talk • contribs)

Meditation

Hello. I'm here just to thank you for your politeness and neutral tone at dispute's moderation page. I also apologise you for having called you "assholes" in a private (At least it's the way I have taken it) conversation . It was just a coloquial manner of refearing to the oposition. No pun intended. Another thing that I feel I have to remeber you is that I never refered you directly as some sort of governamental spammer. I may have imagined it and expressed opinions that may lead to think I believe that. But it is to me a suposition, and never somekind of "belief". As I don't take you too seriously, you also shouldn't be doing it.Normal nick 13:45, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

RfA Results and Thanks

MONGO, thank you for your constructive opposition in my recent RfA. Although it did not succeed as no consensus was declared (final: 65/29/7), I know that there is always an opportunity to request adminship again. In the meantime, I will do my best to address your concerns in the hope that when the opportunity for adminship arises once again, you will reconsider your position. If at any time I make any mistakes or if you would like to comment on my contributions to Misplaced Pages, you are more than welcome to do so. Regardless of your religious, cultural, and personal beliefs, I pray that whatever and whoever motivates you in life continues to guide you on the most righteous path. --- joturner 05:29, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Just curious

Am I the one with the "knack for detail", or is that someone else? I didn't really consider myself a "contributor", although I would be honored to have been considered one. I can't find any more holes to poke in it, despite my fairly sensitive nit-detector. Good job. —Doug Bell 07:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Heads up

Respecting your wishes from the block log, I'm not unblocking, which the user has requested. It's all you. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 11:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

My (HereToHelp’s) RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA. I’m proud to inform you that it passed with 75 support to 1 oppose to 2 neutral. I promise to make some great edits in the future (with edit summaries!) and use these powers to do all that I can to help. After all, that’s what I’m here for! (You didn’t think I could send a thank you note without a bad joke, could I?) --HereToHelp 12:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Thakathi

Hi again. I am the nominator, and there have been new developments regarding this page; a knowledgable editor has appeared who redirected and rewrote the article. You may wish to revisit your vote, since you seemed to look for evidence of notability and seemed to qualify your vote with hesitancy. -- Mareklug 07:06, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

At last

...I've created a new national parks article. It is lacking pictures but I hope to attend to that soon. Karoo National Park, I've been on wikibreak for a while, and got to work on it yesterday, although most of the article was expanded by a certain Celestianpower. Cheers Banez 10:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Nah, it's your fault - if you hadn't started, I certainly wouldn't have touched it :P. --Celestianpower 16:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Super...it a lot of work to get these article going, but after you do a few, they do get easier. I also comment on your talk page.--MONGO 11:01, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah many thanks, the locator dot is indeed correct by my reckoning. You're right, its good to get the momentum on these and I hope to remove all the red links from the list of national parks in south africa article. Regards Banez 13:44, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, sorry, I was too lazy to link it. :) List of national parks of South Africa. Cheers Banez 05:37, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

For your kind words. I earnestly welcome any and all advice if there are ways I can or should approach these situations differently, and I am grateful for your continued good faith. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 04:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Heh! I've focused a lot on Roman articles, sculpture, and of course, contributing any relevant photography I might have taken as my 'passion pages' :) . -- User:RyanFreisling @ 05:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Featured article? That's great. Congrats and thanks for your hard work! Oh, by the way - my college's select choir has our season finale on Saturday, we're singing Mozart's Requiem (a different, more recent arrangement though - with lots of fun new things to learn). Cheerful, to the last. :) -- User:RyanFreisling @ 05:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Too late - looks like it was promoted to featured article! It's a great article, too. It'll be of great service in helping readers to understand the historical climate changes and related issues of environmentalism. It's stunning, the simultaneous fragility and resilience of our world. Congratulations again on a fine, fine article. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 06:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Thank you for your support vote on my RFA. The final result was a successful request based on 111 support and 1 oppose. You were the only user who liked me so much that you voted for me twice. :] --CBDunkerson 17:28, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Bad Redirect

Striver made Bloger redirect to Blog. Obviously, this is spelled incorrect as it is "Blogger" not "Bloger". I don't know how to get rid of the redirect, maybe you can delete it? --Jersey Devil 20:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I nuked it.--MONGO 20:33, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks.--Jersey Devil 20:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Also, he made this redirect from Inforwars.com to Infowars.com. Another case of mispelling. I think it should probably be deleted to, who is going to go checking for the non-existing "inforwars.com" website? --Jersey Devil 21:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Hasta La Vista, Baby--MONGO 00:15, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello MONGO: Thank you for supporting me (twice!) in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 77/3/0. I hope I can perform at the standards expected for administrators. If I make any mistakes, or you need anything, please let me know. Prodego 01:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

AN/I

I posted a note to AN/i here regarding Prasi90 (talk · contribs). I wanted to let you know directly so you could offer the rest of the story, and so you wouldn't feel like I was going behind your back. I opted for ANI, rather than direct discussion with you, because so many admins were involved in the situation, and also because AN/I will be a good forum for gathering together a consensus on how to proceed. I hope everything else is well. Essjay 03:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Land use

Actually, I'm in Canada, so the laws are a bit different. I was just interested if any of the land use controversies were being discussed on Misplaced Pages. But yeah, you were right about what I meant.SkeenaR 03:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I just want to leave.

Could you please get Kazafiel to stop reverting my talk page? I just want to fucking walk away from the project in peace. Thank you. Hpuppet - «Talk» 04:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

So all a guy has to do to get all the warnings from multiple editors (as well as a sockpuppet tag) removed from his page is ask someone to protect it? Sweet deal. If he just wants to leave, why does he need his talk page blanked? Is it because he said "fucking"? I can see how that would give you the impression that he's actually a quality editor at heart. Kafziel 04:25, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

He admitted he was a non-abusive sock of Hipocrite and then stated the account was now his username Hipocrite (talk · contribs) has also asked that that account be blanked and protected as he is leaving the project. No big deal.--MONGO 04:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

But he wasn't non-abusive. Several editors (including myself) have spent the last few days trying to stop his disruptions. He admitted to being a sockpuppet right off the bat, but only admitted being a sockpuppet of Hipocrite today, after CheckUser requests were filed. He vandalized and ranted as Hipocrite until he couldn't risk it anymore, so he made a sockpuppet. If he doesn't move his history, and he doesn't say what his old username was, then it's a sockpuppet. His history of abuse should result in a ban, not in his various user pages being blanked and protected. Kafziel 04:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh stop whining. If wants to leave, please allow him to depart in peace. The socksniffers can come later if need be. Please stop sabtaging this users humble request. -Zero 04:45, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

That's bullshit, and you know it. I've never vandalized a page in my life, and you're trying to make me look like the asshole? If he wants to leave, why doesn't he just leave? Why the blanking? Why the protection? Why ask a different admin to protect each of his different user pages? If he's really leaving, what does it matter? Doesn't it seem a little backwards to you to protect the vandal and then tell the editors who have had to deal with him that they're "whining"? Kafziel 05:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The point is, if he is gone, then there is no need to post anything to his userpage anyway. If he was vandalizing, then be happy he has left.--MONGO 05:11, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Mongo, can you just fucking make them stop? just wants to grind it in. Make it stop, please. Hpuppet - «Talk» 11:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

This editor is still editing under all three sockpuppet accounts and as you can see by the language used the editor is still a problem. Simply check the sockpuppet history accounts to confirm. If you feel the editor is going to leave and not come back then simply block all of the accounts including the IPs. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 12:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Prasi90

I think Prasi90 can edit his user pages without having the ip unblocked. I am reluctant to unblock someone who may cause serious trouble. I have not been following the details of his actions. Fred Bauder 14:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello MONGO! Sorry about the delay in getting back to you about the mentorship idea I had suggested last week, but my computer at home went tits up...kicked it's little cyber legs in the air and died. I did leave Prasi90 a note on his page to let him know where I am at concerning the offer. At the present I am restricted to WP involvement only from the computer labs here at my school, or whenever a friend might give me access to their home PC. Frustrating. This, and the finals I have coming up will curtail the time I have available for the next few weeks. The spirit is willing, but the machinery is weak. I will be trying to keep track of events as they transpire. Regards, Hamster Sandwich 16:59, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
