User:Greier has requested an admin investigation of you. He is basically a troll who has been blocked a gazillion times for disruptive behavior. He has also been hard on my case. I personally don't think that any of your edits have been problematic, and certainly not as disruptive as the behavior of Greier. But if you encounter any problems, please let me know, and I will be glad to report on how you and I have agreed/disagreed and generally worked well together in the past on the Transnistria talk page. Please don't be discouraged by this investigation and please don't stop participating in Misplaced Pages. - Mauco 17:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks for telling me, it doesn't really bother me at all though. In fact it's all very nerdy to be honest. :)

Talk page archive

Hello, I'm an administrator responding to a complaint atMisplaced Pages:Requests_for_investigation. I don't see anything that merits my intervention. You've been civil and participated in discussions, and you look like a new user who's acted in good faith.

There is one thing I'd like to suggest. Misplaced Pages:How to archive a talk page shows how to create a page archive so that discussions are easier to reference. Regards, Durova 13:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I wondered how you do that. I will do this in future.--Jonathanpops 20:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Tiraspol Times

Hi Jonathan. Some time ago you asked a question regarding Tiraspol Times: is a real hard copy newspaper, or only a website? User:William Mauco replied that TT is a real hard copy newspaper and pretended that User:Illythr can confirm . Quote from Mauco: “It is both. Illytr wrote, and he posted the reply here (see archives). The website is daily and the paper version is not. MariusM is trying to claim that just because he hasn't seen the paper version, it doesn't exist. He will get a surprise the next time he visits Transnistria (...). It is also available in the hotels and some other places which Illytr has more information about than me.”. Today Illythr just confirmed that "we can safely assume that TT is not sold in Tiraspol in public areas. As of late October 2006, at least" . Just another example of Mauco's plain fallacies, is his habbit to pretend that different persons/refferences/books support his POV, but when you check you find this is simply not true.--MariusM 14:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

There is no need to badmouth me. Jonathanpops can read. He can follow your links. He can draw his own conclusions as to what "habbit" (sic) I have, and who is guilty of what fallacies. And it ain't me, chum. - Mauco 20:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Of course Jonathanpops can read and can understand. Thanks for wikistalking me.--MariusM 20:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

This user (MariusM) has a nasty habit of posting information about me on the private Talk page of other users. I am monitoring his contributions - not wikistalking - in order to gather the necessary information for an RfC on his behavior. - Mauco 00:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I've always had doubts about there being a hard copy of the Tiraspol Times, in fact I'm sure I wrote them somewhere on the discussion. I think if there really were a paper newspaper we would have seen pictures of it by now. Like I also said though I don't think it makes the TT any less useful that it doesn't have a paper version, but I do think that everybody should call it what it is, a website, and nothing more grandiose than that.

At the same time I don't hold the same supspicions or animosity towards Mauco that you seem to, MariusM, and I don't think there's a need to mention his name everytime you come up with a new theory or some new evidence. It seems to me that the two are often unconnected. Having said that I don't have the same disregard for your opinions, MariusM, that some others seem to at times. A lot of the stuff you have to say makes a lot of sense to me. I'm not trying to draw sides here either, or trying to be everyones's friend, but just saying how I see things from my point of view.

Anyway, my own wild theory is that the Tiraspol Times, Visit PMR and Prinestrovie.net are all run by the same person, or bunch of people, not necessarily for nefarious reasons - just that they are. Although, knowing me, this is probably common knowledge and not any kind of revelation at all.Jonathanpops 00:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
