Talk:Terry Bogard

Hello. Anomosity seems to be brewing on this talkpage, and I would like to avoid an edit war. Please add in your two cents, as I am not sure this user will accpet my explanation of policy violation. -Zero 19:03, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, not yet. I'd like to see how he responds; see if we can implement some dispute resolution beforehand. -Zero 19:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Looks great to me. The chap's concesus is clearly spelled out, and I've directed him to find a few sources if possible. I've evicerated the misconstrued thought of my confusion, as it appears it was simply an break in communication. Sounds like an excelent oppurtunity to try out IRC. -Zero 16:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

New user welcomes

Hi Tony. I just wanted to thank you for going through the effort of giving all those new users proper welcomes in place of Karmafist's message. -- SCZenz 04:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, I see the RfA on Karmafist... has anyone checked to see if he did or didn't in fact talk to Jimbo about it, and if so what Jimbo said about it? I have no idea either way, but the answer could make a big difference... 8-\ Georgewilliamherbert 08:28, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

The rfa is over, I'm afraid. From what the opposition provided as concensus, It also appears Karmafists actions as an administrator and usage of the mop also contibuted to his desysopping, not just his imflammatory welcome template. I daresay that Jimbo's actions were merely the last straw upon an long list of unacceptable habbits and intolerable behavior. -Zero 10:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Karmafist is the subject of a new application for arbitration, which seems very likely to be accepted. It currently lacks only one further acceptance vote. The cause is his unusual welcoming messages. --Tony Sidaway 21:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Notice of Request for Arbitration

Due to the continued, wilfull violation of WP:NPA and WP:NPOV by FourthAve, I have asked the Arbitration Committee to investigate his actions. I have listed you as an involved party because you have been a target of FourthAve's behavior. The RFA can be found here. Please leave a statement if you are so inclined. - Jaysus Chris 11:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I see FourthAve's been blocked again. Will he be able to respond to the RFAR while blocked? - Jaysus Chris 19:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

He's only been blocked for twenty-four hours. If he wants to respond, he will have plenty of time. --Tony Sidaway 21:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Appreciation

I really appreciate how rational you are when dealing with our problematic editors (at least, the ones we've intersected on). There's a calmness and dedication there that I find admirable. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 02:27, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Magnetophone

Hello Tony,

Thanks for the welcome...

I've been using Wiki for sometime now for general research and thought I'd put an article together myself. I've edited it countless times trying to improve it as I learn more about how a Misplaced Pages article should read and what it should/should not contain etc. I think I've got it to a point where it is acceptable, but with room to improve...the neutrality is quite a tricky thing I've found.

I was wondering if you might be able to tell me how I can get the article looked through to check I haven't made any enormous gaffs in terms of Wiki protocol etc. I'd be very appreciative...

The article is 'Magnetophone'.

Thanks for your time... Matt. Roomfulofechoes 19:50, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Rajput

• thanks Tony, permablocking individual socks would not help much, as they are on dynamic ISP (which also made it impossible for the arbcom to evaluate how many individuals we are dealing with), but the article does need some admin watching it and keeping things organized (which was what I was doing originally, but I was targetted as 'involved' immediately, and by now I guess I am even though I have no agenda there). Their game is slow revert-warring, without any productive editing or debate, and the occasional outburst of abuse on talk. If you could censor them for that behaviour I think the atmosphere would benefit.
• Also note that we have Gorkhali, a "Hindu Rajput" editor, which I believe was banned by the arbcom by mistake: He was not even mentioned in the fact-finding part, but suddenly under "remedies" they ban him. I think this may have been an honest mistake on the arbcom's part, what with the large number of confusing usernames involved, but he seems one of the very few good faith editors taking the "Hindu" pov, so the situation is a little unfortunate, the bad eggs get to continue reverting because we don't dare to block their socks, and the honest editor is locked out. But I don't know what could be done about that.

I did the clerking at the close of that case, so I remember that a lot of people were banned simply because they were on a list in an evidence page. If he's been banned through error, it should be easy enough to get him unbanned. Could you assemble some kind of brief on his case? I'll be happy to support an appeal.

Minding that article sounds like tough, grinding work. --Tony Sidaway 09:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Magnetophone

Thanks Tony...that's good to know...and thanks for taking the time...I feel another article coming on!. Roomfulofechoes 13:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Do you remember me?

Greetings from an Indian wikipedian. I have been around here for about a year, including being an administrator from 18th September 2005. I request you to kindly do me the favor of providing me your valuable comments and suggestions on my contributions, activities and behavior pattern. I shall be awaiting your free and frank opinion, which you are most welcome to give here. --Bhadani 15:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/John Bambenek

I saw you voted in the deletion review of this article and was wondering if you'd be willing to comment in the RFC your thoughts on the matter. Thanks. -- Alpha269 00:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree with some of your points, but it would take more than a RfC to deal with the brokenness of our deletion and undeletion processes. It seems to attract people who are particularly susceptible to a slash-and-burn approach to constructing an encyclopedia. Rules that were put in place to stop the encyclopedia filling with trivia are used to destroy perfectly good entries about well established experts. The processes to work most of the time but commonsense is severely deprecated by the regulars of DRV in particular. --Tony Sidaway 03:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
