If you have any problems, concerns, or just want to comment on my actions and behavior in general, please leave a message here, or if you would like to discuss things, my talk page and email is available for use. A watch page has been created that will list areas that I might have problems with and may need help with. - Ottava Rima

RfC

I'm giving up with this. Please don't ask me to assist with an RfC again. I knew it would happen, but someone has created the cupcake section again, and it's still not certified properly. It's a joke, frankly, and I have become the butt of it. So please do not involve me again. I tried my best, but frankly, I can see where several commenters are coming from.

It is certified properly. You know, if they think it isn't, all we have to do is post on her talk page: "Please explain why you aided Geogre's sock puppetry and resign" and just restart it again. Ottava Rima (talk) 13:56, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Then do that. Just don't ask me to assist you. I'm fed up with this shit. Best wishes, Majorly talk 14:01, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

WP:AN

Sorry, that's rubbish. Ikip will take any chance to have a go at Merridew, and he needs to stop it. The thread is about the WQA, not Ikip's grudges. Black Kite 16:58, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

• Sorry, I am causing disruption? I'm trying to stop Ikip derailing the thread. Black Kite 17:02, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

WikiCup submissions

Hi, please see Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup#Why should you get credit for these?. iMatthew  at 18:47, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hi: Can I ask what it is that you (or others) have done that has caused this furor I'm noticing everywhere? I noticed that you said on SandyGeorgia's page: "I was unblocked, after it was determined that blocking someone for restoring a deleted RfA that was deleted out of process by someone involved was not against policy and consensus could not override policy." Are most of these disputes on Misplaced Pages about controversial articles where one side wants one thing written and another wants another thing written? Or does it get way more complex than that? Varks Spira (talk) 19:04, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Here is a timeline for you:

1. 10 April 2008: A FAC on Jonathan Swift related article came to Geogre's attention.

2. 12 April 2008: Geogre edits the page and makes his first comment about the sources and the page.

3. and 12 April 2008: I respond.

3 13 April 2008: I create a page on Jonathan Swift's printers.

4. 14 April 2008: Geogre attacks another Jonathan Swift related page, Sermons of Jonathan Swift, after it received praise by a third party.

4. 15 April 2008: We fight.

5 During this time: I take his attacks against my other articles and against myself on my talk page to WQA and then I remove them and attacks from his sock puppet Utgard Loki were soon made on my talk page .

5. 2 hours later he deletes the Swift's printers page. WQA comments and ANI. After discussion at ANI, it is recommended that I go to DRV.

6. 16 April 2008: the page Geogre deleted goes through DRV and is restored. Geogre, Guy, Moreschi, and Folantin all fight to have the page kept as deleted.

That is the beginning of this current mess. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:53, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Geogre seems to be a difficult person to deal with. "Swift's printers" might not have been the correct title for the article, or it might have actually been correct, but an article dedicated to printers who worked on getting Swift's works put into print is definitely worthy of an article. You seem to have written a fine article in the draft mode; it's a lot better than my article on Misplaced Pages administrators. How can someone like Geogre be an administrator? Anyhow, I see that the dispute centers on Jonathan Swift-related articles and wrongheadedness in writing them. Thanks for the answers. There appears to always be Misplaced Pages article(s) lurking behind these disputes. Cheers, Varks Spira (talk) 20:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Harrassment warning

User:Bishonen asked that you no longer post to her talkpage. You chose to post anyway. Please stop this behavior, or you may be blocked from editing for harrassment. UnitAnode 20:18, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

No, she said that she would -remove- my comments if I posted there again. By the way, you cannot make false allegations about someone and claim that they cannot respond. False allegations about them would be incivil, and that is what she did. Your warning above is inappropriate. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

My warning is merited, and I imagine that if you continue posting at Bishonen's page, you'll most likely be blocked for harrassment. UnitAnode 20:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
