Please leave a message here if you need assistance. However, please do not ask me about the NLP article or ask for assistance on that article. I did mentoring work on there for awhile but I feel it's a lost cause and I want nothing to do with it. Thanks for your understanding.

Blocking IPvandal 152.12.4.15
Thanks for blocking the IPvandal: 152.12.4.15 - he has vandalised more than 30 times. And I am afraid that he shall continue to do so after the block given by you expires after 31 hours. In view of the persistent vandalism for the past 1-1/2 months on the same pages, I believe he needs a much stricter punishment to save some more headache for all of us here - i.e. the IP should be permanently banned. EyeMD 09:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Got it. However, the block shall expire during the weekend. And I am sure he will do something that will not let me take rest. Hopefully, you can kindly extend the block to expire at 9 AM EDT on Monday (2nd Oct, 2006), so that he can't vandalise more on the weekend. Thanks & cheers! EyeMD 09:22, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I never knew I did love you? Till I saw you rock & roll anyway. ;) If you wanna join, which I suppose you do, I'll start sending you out a questionaire when the next one comes along.

Hogeye edit warring
Hi Mike. As far as I can see, Hogeye went straight back to Anarchism (political) and reverted it again, just as soon as his 3RR block expired. Note his motive as posted on Talk:Anarchism (political), too. I'm thinking a week's block for inveterate and disruptive edit warring, perhaps? Or more, since he seems quite deaf to exhortation and explanation. I'm beginning to see how his block log got to be such a horror story. Anyway, whatever you reckon, could you please do it, if you're around, as I'm going to bed? Best, Bishonen | talk 03:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC).
- How do we go about getting an indef block? I've been trying to get this question answered for a while now. This is exactly why so many people want him kicked out of wikipedia. Ungovernable Force 04:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
The Bible
Just wondering what your thoughts are: should articles refer to Super/System as "the Bible of poker", or instead "a very important book," "a seminal book," etc. - Abscissa 13:49, 1 October 2006 (UTC) P.S. Jamie Gold, ugh totaly ruined the ME 2006 for me, what a lucky @#!@#!!!
Anarchism
There seems to be a consensus among the involved editors that the article should be unlocked. See the article's talk page for details. -- WGee 01:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Pretender
Hi, I have seen you have blocked the pretender page against me because some users say that I have vandalized this page. This is false! In this page I removed only Rosario Poidimani as fake pretender! This affirmation is false and this is a true and big libel against this pretender that has in Portugal many supporters. Some users continue to insert this pretender as fake pretender in this wikipage only in order to "legitimate" the other pretender Duarte Pio of Braganza. So please I request for unprotection this page and after to remove Rosario Poidimani as fake pretender.82.48.224.24 12:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
For the time you took to try and handle things at anarchism. It really is a messy situation. I think that it helped having you there for a while. At the very least, you have a better idea of what's going on. I think that every administrator should have to watch that article for a week. ;-) Best, --AaronS 14:00, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, thanks for tryin. Blockader 16:33, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Opinion needed
Hey, there is a bit of an edit war going on in the external links section of The World Can't Wait and Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. The talk pages of each include the relevant info. It seems to me that User:In the Stacks has an axe to grind with Chuck Munson (which appears to be mutual) and as such is refusing to allow any links to Chuck's website infoshop.org. This isn't going anywear, so I thought I'd ask an uninvolved party for their opinion. Ungovernable Force 05:40, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Green Tortoise
According to the history page, you are one of the editors who helped create the Green Tortoise article. Right now, somebody is trying to destroy your work. A self-indentified Green Tortoise employee signing in under the name "Here" has stated, on a page linked to from the Green Tortoise discussion page, that his employer "freaked out" about the article, feeling that while it was OK for some of the authors we cited to have written articles critical of his business, it was not OK for others to know about those articles or for us to tell people about them. On this basis "here" has demanded the right to remove links to any material critical of his employer, doing so in the name of NPOV!!!
How far has this gone? We've already seen pro-Green Tortoise graffiti posted to the references section, ad copy taken directly from their site used to overwrite the article, and the employee, in at least one case, create a sock puppet account (GTWebmaster) and then try to claim that somebody was supporting his position. He has threatened to file frivolous complaints against anybody refusing to go along with what he wants, as he engages in vandalism.
None of which probably sounds like anything you'd want to be around for, and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, but it bothers you to see your work destroyed and replaced by ad copy posted by someody who has come out and said that he is a corporate shill, now is the time when I hope you will speak up. I hate to see companies find that they can turn Misplaced Pages into ad copy, in this case quite literally, but I can't fight this one alone. If you'd be willing to help, your help would be greatly appeciated and needed. One lone editor vs. an entire company is not a fair fight, and sooner or later you know that this guy will bring in his coworkers. -65
Passing along this bit of info....
Seeing your with the CVU, thought you could either make use of this info a/or direct it to the proper administrators. Found it while looking into a report on another post on that site concerning my duties elsewhere. http://img.7chan.org/i/res/18643.html#18643

Whitman...again
If you're around and willing to help, I wouldn't mind if you'd help me keep an eye on the Charles Whitman article. It seems our friend John Moore has returned with his trolling ways, and I'm wary of violating WP:3RR myself. Much thanks. Sherurcij 01:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Heh, I just checked my inbox and apparently he was sending me more hate-mail while arguing he wasn't Moore on Wiki :P Sherurcij 18:02, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking TURBOZOID, catchy, no? Anyways, I appreciate you removing the crap (Moore, you're probably reading this...learn to format), but don't worry about purging history or anything, my eMail address is no huge state secret or anything - though today it seems Mr. Moore has beaten out both deposed Nigerian princes and men who have discovered the secret to pleasing my wife, in upping the spam percentage of my inbox.

WP:UW
Hi Woohookitty,
I see looking at the WikiProject user warnings page, that you are a participant in this project. I have recently started an undertaking to harmonise all user page warnings and templates. For this I would like your assistance. I have listed a number of ideas on the project template page here as a first draft. I fully appreciate that as with most editors and admins, that you are fairly busy. Therefore I am not looking for anyone to carry out the actual work, I am willing to do that myself, with help from a number of other RC Patrollers who have come forward. But what I am looking for is your invaluable input, on the draft ideas and also to suggest other ways you believe we may improve the templates. I do however require the services of a couple of administrators to put into effect some of the new templates, as they are currently protected. Please take 5 mins to look through the new templates page, and both the project and templates talk pages and leave any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Best regards Khukri 10:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Halle Berry
Do you propose a different introductory sentence to the article in the controversy section? Because it needs to be added. And I don't think it is plausible for you to say, "What (we're) shooting for." You have no authority over the article. Shakam 21:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
It says she was the first African-American to win an Oscar in the film awards section. So are you suggesting I correlate that to the quote? And why do I need quotes from other people? Identifying as something you are not is a controversy in itself. Shakam 02:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
African-American Self-Identification
Although she is typically considered to be African-American, Berry is actually biracial (her mother is Caucasian and her father is African-American). Her self-identification is a result of the ignorance of her peers and her mother's influence. She is quoted as saying, "I was raised by my white mother and every day of my life I have always been aware of the fact that I am bi-racial. However, growing up I was aware that even though my mother was white, I did not look or "feel" very white myself...Many times my classmates did not believe me when I said my mother was white. I soon grew tired of trying to prove that I was half-black and half-white and learned not to concern myself with what others thought. I began to relate to the other "all black kids" at my school more because quite simply...I looked more like them...After having many talks with my mother about the issue, she reinforced what she had always taught me. She said that even though you are half black and half white, you will be discriminated against in this country as a black person...why should it matter what color anyone is or what heritage they identify with? If people would just learn to look at everyone equally and stop trying to label one another the issue of what we are all made of would be null and void...We are all members of the same race, the HUMAN RACE!"
How is that? please feel free to give ur input
"Many times my classmates did not believe me when I said my mother was white. I soon grew tired of trying to prove that I was half-black and half-white and learned not to concern myself with what others thought" --- Isn't that the definition of ignorance? How is it POV if she says it herself in the quote? Shakam 05:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Anarchism
Hi, Mike. Sorry if the heading alone makes you nauseous! I'm probably being naive here, but what do you say we archive Talk:Anarchism , and post a prominent threat to delete all mere holding-forth that has nothing to do with editing the article? With, say, a quote from Misplaced Pages:Wikiquette:
- The Talk ("discussion") pages are not a place to debate value judgments about which of those views are right or wrong or better. If you want to do that, there are venues such as Usenet, public weblogs and other wikis. Use the Talk pages to discuss the accuracy/inaccuracy, POV bias, or other problems in the article, not as a soapbox for advocacy.
And then we both watch it, and do delete all soapboxing? Not forever, of course, but for a week or so. Note new user Anarcho-capitalism especially. Btw, I noticed a familiar face, Doctors without suspenders (=wolfie sock), and left a message on their page, and got the usual "don't know what you're talking about" in return. It's unmistakably out of wolfie's drawer, but I'm also getting a nasty feeling that there could be several wolf socks on Talk:Anarchism. What a nighmare of a page. Reply by e-mail if you like; I'm not using it because I think it's all to the good if Anarchism editors see this post. Bishonen | talk 03:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC).

Semi protection for NLP
Hello kitty, Hope those claws don't have to come back out. The NLP article still needs a lot of work. While most recent edits were positive, some edits from an IP address were not so helpful. I think that reinstating the semi-protection temporarily would reduce the chance of returning to the status quo ante. Best regards, --Comaze 04:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Spanish Gibraltarians
Hi Woohookitty,
I feel that the decision to delete this article is unfair and erroneous. It has been deleted twice, although the second time it was because I was unfamiliar with the undeletion process and I simply posted it again to plead my case. I explain why I feel it was wrong to do so on the talk page of the article Spanish Gibraltarians. Could you please take a couple of minutes to read my arguments and the article (which is posted on the talk page) and at least explain to me what is wrong with it. The material is well sourced, NPOV, uncontroversial and it duplicates no material in Gibraltar related articles. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks alot.
Burgas00--Burgas00 22:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Ok I have done so. I only restored it on the talk page temporaliry while the undeletion process lasts so that users can read it more easily. I hope this is allowed?--Burgas00 01:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Ok thanks Woohookitty. If I break any wikirules its only out of my own ignorance...:-)--Burgas00 17:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
naming lost episodes
The ones tagged for speedy deletion are so moves can be made.
The episodes that don't need disambiguation will no longer have it.
See WP:TV-NC for guildlines involving how to name episodes. And WT:TV-NC for discussion that's led to the current group effort to get a lot of TV episode articles moved.
Please stop redirecting the pages tagged with speedy deletion. --`/aksha 07:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

NLP article may have some problems
Hi user Woohookitty. I am fairly new to Misplaced Pages but I had a good look around at various articles for the past year and scouted round the policy pages as per recommendation. It took me a few days to get up to speed but I noticed that there are some problems with the NLP article that could be long term problems. I read what you said about it on the discussion page and I quite agree with your statements there. I have quite some spare time and enjoy copyediting. I looked up (and even purchased) some source information presented and found there was actually far better versions of the NLP article in the history tab. I started verifying the information and presented it properly on the article. There does however seem to be a huge amount of resistance to the more reliable information. The user Comaze especially is quite persistent in altering straight scientific information to create promotion points. There are scientific statements pretty basic to psychology that unnamed editors want to delete. Reasonable discussion or obtaining valid reasons for those actions seems to be a million miles away. I'm not sure how to handle these problems. Could you advise? AlanBarnet 13:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Round Ear Spock
Just a friendly reminder to use an edit summary when proposing deletion for an article. Edit summary usage is always good, but it is especially important that edit summaries are used when proposing deletion. The reason for this is that articles proposed for deletion that later have the {{prod}} tag removed should not be proposed for deletion again, but rather sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. The only easy way to check if an article was previously proposed for deletion is to look at the edit history and the edit summaries people have left before. Thanks!
