I check in most mornings and most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see Greenwich Royal Observatory from my new office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some OTRS tickets.

I am under considerable personal stress at the moment; my father died and I have a lot of other stuff going on in RL including a new job as senior engineer for enterprise storage and virtual infrastructure in a Fortune 500 company. Great job, lots of shiny expensive toys, big responsibility. But Misplaced Pages is still one of my top hobbies, and I come here to do what I can. I respond much better to polite requests than to demands. People who taunt me with "I dare you to block me" may have cause to regret it, as may I. Don't even think of trying to drag me into one of the many cesspits this project offers, I will likely choose only those disputes where I don't actually care too much. Not coming to your party? It's because I've decided it will make me unhappy. Sorry about that.

Above all, please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way. Make an effort to assume good faith and let's see if we can't get along. Guy (Help!) 22:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Patrick T. McHenry

The part fo the data that cause the page lock was the blog allegations that McHenry was somehow responsible for 3 deaths in the Green Zone... everything elase was accyratly sourced and noteworthy as itwasreportedby several news sources... please revert the article to this version. Otherwise, you've removed properly cited information.--Dr who1975 (talk) 19:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes... I know that... in fact I've often had to remind people of that... I mean it was cited with a valid source.--Dr who1975 (talk) 20:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
You did read the version I pointed to right? Are you suggecting that www.carolinapoliticsonline.com is an invalid source?--Dr who1975 (talk) 20:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou

God on earth, they are still talking about me at ANI, ill be famous in days at this rate, my talk page has seen more traffic this week than in an entire year. Realist2 (talk) 22:17, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Ha sounds like a pain stacking job, i will leave you in peace, we might cross paths again, hope under better circumstances, this is a wierd way to spend my 9001th edit at wiki. Realist2 (talk) 22:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Please see my comment here. Even if you disagree with me, it does absolutely no harm to refactor your comment so I hope you will do so. Thanks.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 01:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

State terrorism and the US

Can you check the start of this edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=State_terrorism_and_the_United_States&diff=205625876&oldid=205533853

You've reverted the content of the first three paragraphs in a way that removed useful links and typo fixes. --Ryan Paddy (talk) 20:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Bombing of Tokyo in World War II

Guy, in total 10 million civilians died in Japan from firebombing 70 cities and the two nuclear bombs with many radiation deaths after the event. User_talk:Igorberger#Pic You do not consider this as Allegations of state terrorism by the United States Igor Berger (talk) 20:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Not in the context of the time and a state of total war then existing, not I don't. I consider the Nagasaki bomb an atrocity (Hiroshima was enough) but I do not apply 21st century rationales and hindsight to what was beyond question an act of of war. Guy (Help!) 21:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Greif article

Sorry, but I don't understand what you're doing. These are references directly linked to the article and are not spam. They are not 'selling' anything. These references, upon re-write, will be incorporated into the body of the article via citations. A Sniper (talk) 21:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Technocracy movement

An editor put back the links you took out in external links and put this statement in the Technocracy movement ( In addition, the Network of European Technocrats aims for the creation of a European Technate, although the group has not yet finalised the area of this entity (most likely, other areas then just Europe would be needed ). Would you mind editing this article again to perhaps get rid of the extraneous links again and delete the NET material ? skip sievert (talk) 22:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I just went ahead and changed it. skip sievert (talk) 22:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok. Well the same editor put the NET stuff back in and also the extraneous links that you took out.. back in again. Technocracy movement. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Technocracy_movement&diff=205662793&oldid=205657424 Technocracy movement - Misplaced Pages, the 💕 He is telling me not to edit because he is going to just put the NET stuff back in and the multiple links to the same site. skip sievert (talk) 03:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Your modification in de:Impaled Nazerene

Sorry, I don't know why this metal-magazine is on the spam-list now. The link is used as a reference. So, please, unless you got a better link, leave the reference there. --Gripweed-de (talk) 22:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


Remote viewing

This is to inform you that I have filed a request for informal mediation on the article Remote viewing, and named you as a party. Best, ——Martin ☎ Ψ Φ—— 23:34, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Guy

Hi there! I was contemplating usurping the username "Guy" after I found that it had no contributions. Upon investigating further, I found that you redirected the Talk Page here. Can I ask why? Thanks! -- JT 16:15, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Why not use that as your username, then? -- JT 16:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Ah. Alright, rock on. -- JT 16:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Your warning

I responded on my talk page. Blizzard Beast 23:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

G'day Guy....

Hope you're good - I wanted to come here to gauge your thoughts on a possible appeal to arbcom for a lifting of my sanction; currently I'm not permitted to edit biographies of living people (though I would like the arb.s to take a look at all aspects of my case, to be honest!). I thought it might be quite likely that you would want to comment, and thought we could have a quiet chat here to try and minimise any noise on other pages.

The best case scenario in the whole world would be for us to be able to come to an understanding and maybe form a consensus on a good way forward - what would you think about things like a 1RR for biography pages? do you have any other ideas for how we could move forward? I'd really like an unencumbered account, and would love to talk with you about how it might happen! cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 23:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Kinder, gentler approaches

Regarding this, calling people "spiteful shit-stirring weasels" may not be the most effective approach, regardless of what you may think of them. It just plays into their hands, doesn't it? Hope that's helpful advice. ++Lar: t/c 23:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC)


Recent Vandalism

Dear JzG, I am not sure if your recent visit to my discussion page was to merely to insult me (e.g. calling me "mad") or to make a legitimate contribution. In any case, your contribution has been appropriately marked as vandalism and deleted. I would ask that in the future you use a more respectful tone when posting to the page. If you feel this notice is in error, and that your contribution is in fact legitimate, you are free to argue such on my talk page, here (please follow the instructions this time).
