Johnski

Thanks for your message. His vandalism is certainly reaching epic proportions. I am happy to support any disciplinary process against him. --Centauri 21:29, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

I also am willing to completely support any action performed against this user; I will sign any WP:RFC you place against him. Samboy 21:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

thanks for your recent comments on the talk page. in case you missed it, there is an actual poll on this issue, & your vote there would be appreciated. Talk:Kim Jong-il#Poll Appleby 16:58, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Section headings on talk pages

I noticed you were changing some section headings on talk pages to have headlines with one = sign instead of two. If you click the "+" button at the top of a talk page (which used to be labelled "add a comment" and is one of the most common ways of starting a new discussion) you get a == level heading, so in general it's best to keep them all the same or the tables of contents get thrown off and new comments look like they are subheadings of those.

I have no idea why == is the default instead of =. Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 17:15, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Solkope

I noticed that you were the last person to edit Solkope, yet you did not remove the DOM content. Why did you keep this content? Samboy 08:27, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

If you want to remove the content, go ahead. This was something I was doing to lay down the law in terms of the junk Johnski puts in the articles. I didn't remove all the content, but edited it back to a version I had added to the article as a something Isotope and I agreed would be a good alternative. I have no problem with it being removed. Be ready to be attacked by Johnski after he logs on. Davidpdx 08:43, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Mediation

I am sorry that I suggested your case would not be suitable for mediation. I said that I didn't feel mediation would be useful because I had seen the comment higher on this page about vandalism. When you list someone as having multiple sockpuppets, it doesn't bode well for mediation. Mediation is about resolving differences, not punishment. I couldn't see your dispute being helped by mediation. RFC seems a better course of action. Best wishes, ] 10:25, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree; WP:RFC time. I don't like the word punishment; I like to assume good faith and assume the editor in question may make positive contributions to Misplaced Pages once they let go of their DOM obsession. Samboy 21:07, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Johnski

Yeah, I've seen the "we had consensus" stunt pulled before, by Johnski and others, and I'll be ready to point out he doesn't have it if and when appropriate. (In fact, I pointed that out preemptively this time. :) ) Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 14:24, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I'm asking you to look at the article Karitane Shoal; it is really bad form for one editor to directly do a revert war with another editor (see Misplaced Pages:One-revert rule. Samboy 21:03, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Who the hell are you to call me sockpuppet? You dudes might want to read more carefully. Just looked at Taongi talk and what Johnski wrote is that there is concensus on the DoM article about Taongi's Iroijlaplap granting a lease to it. Where has he or I ever claim other consensus on points that there is no consensus for? Put up or shut up!SamuelSpade 04:52, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
