You editted Dark Throne, do you play?

If so, could you let me know on either my talk page, by adding yourself to the Category:Wikipedians who play Dark Throne category, or both? Thanks!

Even if you don't play anymore, would you still add yourself to the category? Lady Aleena 23:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Ahh... "Idiots"

Thanks for pointing that footnote's possible interpretation out to me. I had simply picked out the lower frequency word in David's comment, if it was an attack it was a subconscious one!

The problem with the civility issue is two-fold: Although the times when I'm uncivil are a diminshingly small protion and restricted to a very narrow audience, when I do let fly it is usually 1) Quite public and 2) Served sizzling hot.

An example of how I normally deal with low-level conflict would be Talk:Advanced Individual Combat Weapon. For a non-Tony-related incident, we could look at Gmaxwell. On several occasions he's sunk the boot into me with very little provocation. I compare the way that I responded to him a few months ago to how I responded to him recently. I've learned that it matters not who fires the first salvo, if I don't fire back there won't be a war.

Thanks for taking the time to raise this with me,

Copyvio

Please check the history. It was not me who put the copyvio on, I merely reverted the original author removing it himself, something sstrictly prohibited. if you believe it is not a copyuvio remove it yourslef. Neither Zapatancas or I as the contiributors to this article should remove it as wikipedia policy clearly states, SqueakBox 15:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I only had Zapatancas' word for it, which is not enough as I assumed he could have been lying (if we don't assume people can lie about copyvios we will quickly gertn infected). Zapatancas made no attemopt top prove it wasn't a copyvio and I asked him to get someone else to check it ouit. According to him that is beijng disruptibve but his poor explanation was not. Do you want copyvio's on wikipedia. If so I hope you are the first in line to be sued, SqueakBox 16:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I assumed that to check on the copyvio was a job for admins, and not my job. If Zapatancas had given a satisfactory explanation in the first place, as he eventually did today, though not on the article talk page, none of this would have happened. Instead he gave an insatisfactory explanation and kept reverting a copyvio notice where the alleged copyvio offendor was him, which as you well know he was prohibited from doing without giving a reasonable explanation. I asked him to get an admin to get look at the case but he ignored me and kept trying to revert a copyvio that he had allegedly created without giving a satisfactory explanation or waiting to get an admin to review the case, instead personally attacking me, for maybne the 50th time.

I would have been more civil to you if you had not misjudged the situation by making assumptions in the first place (eg that I put the copyvio on the article) instead of checking the facts. Acting as an admin is a position of responsibility which makes a basic attention to detail and not making assumptions without checking to see if they are correct or not an important part of that work, SqueakBox 23:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Poll

Dear Ral315, I would like to in vite you to my 1st poll, Best DCOM. Thanks! : ) Tcatron565 9:47 am CST 2/04/06

Can you please tall me how you changed that photo?!!!!!!!!!!!! Tcatron565 9:09 pm (CST) 2/05/06 (P.S. Thanks for voting on my poll! : ) Thanx!!!)

But everytime I try to do that It says that the file is corrupt. Tcatron565 9:15 pm 2/05/06

WP:RFR

Your oppose on WP:RFR (request for rollback privileges) has me confused. The RFR proposal is nothing like WP:RFA; there is no poll. There is no vote. It's just a centralized discussion area for people requesting rollback privileges. B-crats make the decision entirely on their own. All that is allowed is discussion. If there's language that can be changed on the RFR page to better explain that this is not a vote and not a poll that's being proposed, I think everyone working on this would be all ears. In any event, thank you for leaving your comments; I hope you'll take a second look at the proposal and reconsider endorsement of this (for lack of a better word) process. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, thanks for your response. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 05:31, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Well

Oh, well. Thanks anyway! Tcatron565

Re: Signpost update

Yes, I'll update it now, and I'll also include CheckUser rights if no one has done that already. (Heading over to newsroom...) Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do; I'm updating to reflect all 5 de-sysoppings now, I'll add in the granting of CheckUser rights to News and Notes, and also the new CSD for userboxes. I'll take a look at the other article and see what needs to be done. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:16, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I need to stop for now, but I'll be back shortly to finish up. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

News and notes has been updated with CheckUser and the CSD; I've expanded the other story to reflect the 5 de-sysoppings. I haven't broken up that article into two seperate ones, but if you think that's necessary, feel free to do so and expand the section on the cartoons. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Replied via email; taking it to WP:AN now. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 22:46, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Signpost questions-reply

Sure. WikieZach 01:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Neuro-linguistic programming

You are a mentor! Please familiarize yourself with the case and conflict. I've posted notices to the article's talk page and AN. You may want to introduce yourself to all the parties (though that's a lot). Again, thank you. Dmcdevit·t 10:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Mediator section

It's locked, so I can't add it in, but I wanted to mention that if you look in the archives, Headly Down DID accept my mediation. It's the entry that starts off "Hmm. Well your cred seems to check out...". As a neutral party, I'm not making any judgements here, but I do feel it important to mention that Headly did accept my mediation. If I can offer my advice: In my time dealing with that thread, I found out that the sides are so firmly entrenched that neither one wants to accept anything by the other side as acceptable. Further, some of the participants (most notably the NLP opponents) deem any mediator or administrator's pointing out policy violations such as personal attacks to be "biased". I strongly believe that a heavy hand is going to be needed to solve this issue, or at least some big gun administrator powers that I didn't have access to (nor would have right to use as a mediator due to conflict of interest.) Cheers, I'll be monitoring the thread myself. ⇒ SWATJester Aim _Fire! 00:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Check all revisions

I didn't create it, and I don't remember who did. It was someone on IRC, I think. It's so simple that I think it would be ok for you to go ahead with it. Whoever I asked wrote it quickly in a minute or so. — ₀₉₁₈ • 2006-02-9 19:39

I didnt realize I was attributing them to anyone...

I added a new barnstar to my page from the site you gave me, I thought people just put them on their pages because it made their pages look cooler, and told about some of the things they've done. Can I grab other images and put them on my page, or will those be attributed to other users as well? pickelbarrel 22:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Ive readded a barnstar...

But I think its okay because it doesnt have anyones name attached to it I dont think...Please take a look and let me know if its okay...Is it okay if I give other people the barnstars?...also Im curious if you would like one of my barnstars...for helping me out? pickelbarrel 23:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

A Barnstar for clearing things up for me...ENJOYpickelbarrel 02:12, 13 February 2006 (UTC)|

Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Well Ive been triing to get that barnstar page

I cant seem to copy whatever it is I need to copy to reproduce those barnstars, so I asked my freind Emperor Cenestrad to give me some awards, but between you and I, I dont think Ill keep the ones he gave me... I was hoping you might be able to "walk me through the process" abit so I can give away some of these things, and hopefully keep some as well. Thanks pickelbarrel 04:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
