[edit] Greetings to and from Paris, and welcome to Wiki

Did you just join today? You haven't even begun your user page yet : ) Anyhow, welcome to Wiki!

You say that you are living in Paris? That is wonderful news - a few of us were just getting ready to begin work on the Paris article to bring it up to "Featured" status - and that page could use your help! The 'French' English-Wiki pages are still relatively 'low-traffic' and lack knowledgable input - and first-hand knowledge is the best. I really hope you can help out. Never mind what you'll see in the Talk pages there - reams and reams of detail-filled banter - as our goal is to take what we've got and work forward. You may even find some of it amusing.

Anyhow, hope you enjoy your stay, and thanks for your contribution earlier today.

Take care,

--THEPROMENADER 20:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome :) I created the account just a couple weeks ago, and haven't got around the idea of filling my user page yet, though I suppose I should.
I'll have a look at the Paris page, and see if I can help somehow, but I'm not too sure I'm fit for the more popular entries and the never ending edit/talk wars usually going on. If anything, it seems very time consuming for little changes. But, as I said, I'll give it a try at least. Equendil 22:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I had the same impression when I first opened that article (and didn't think to touch it for more than a year), but the Paris page seems to be like that supermodel everyone assumes has a demi-god boyfriend/husband. The fact of it is, and most likely because of the same sort of general assumption in face of its 'big-city' title: she's been a loniler girl than you think. Would you believe that, for the time being, there are but two or three 'regular' contributors there? The arguments haven't helped to attract contributors, granted. it's taken a while to sort out the 'extent' of the article, but this done it will be clear sailing and changes frequent and constructive. For sure wait until the going gets easier - but I can't keep from fishing for input from anyone with first-hand knowledge of Paris. No matter, I won't push you : ) See you around!

[edit] Edit summaries

Please use them. They're extremely important, and save us wikipedians many clicks and much confusion. Thanks. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Eh, sorry, I was editing on radar, time for bed me think :) Equendil 03:33, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haha

Damn that guy is dense as steel, and steel is pretty dense. Very weird individual....UberCryxic 01:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Let's make that as dense as Osmium, the heaviest known element. He's like totally out of his mind, but pathological liars like him who think they are both smart and cunning but instead keep digging themselves a hole are entertaining in a twisted kind of way. Gonna have to clean the talk page when he's done making a fool of himself (move stuff to archives that is). Equendil 01:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Until then, I will drive him to the ground with my legendary Albanian stubborness.UberCryxic 01:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, I'll sit there and keep track of the score. So far he's jumping around on one leg and no arms claiming "just a flesh wound" Equendil 01:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Lmao this was his latest comment: "Im going to have a shower, and I will think of you erotically." HAHAHAHAHAHA.........UberCryxic 01:25, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Dude what time is it in France right now? I'm in Eastern US, and I think you guys are five hours ahead. Soooo....about 3 am?UberCryxic 01:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Yep, that's right, 3.40am now in fact Equendil 01:40, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok nvm 6 hours ahead....it's about 9:45 here....yep...so what's happening on that side of the Atlantic?UberCryxic 01:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Pretty dark out there, not much happening hehe, I should be sleeping, damn crazy anonymous users :)
btw, you want to check your comments which he edited, for instance "I accept all of your concessions. Thank you for participating and winning the debate. I love you Byron.UberCryxic 01:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)". Might be others, I'm having a little trouble following, for some reason my web browser is eating up all the CPU on the edit history. Equendil 01:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

god fucking dammit.....I am going to tear that bitch a new asshole. I just changed it. Thanks for bringing it up.UberCryxic 01:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need a Favor

Hey man what's going on? I need a big favor from you. When you have time, can you go through France in the American Revolutionary War and translate some of the sections towards the end? I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks.UberCryxic 23:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I'll give it a go. Equendil 23:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify tags

Hi, I've noticed you've been using the {{wiki}} template on a number of articles. That tag is useful, but from what I understand it's better to use the {{wikify-date}} template to help with organization. Using the template in the format {{wikify-date|May 2006}}, for instance, puts the article into Category:Wikify from May 2006 which can help the people and/or bots doing maintenance (see Category:Articles that need to be wikified#Progress). Thanks! -Big Smooth 20:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

As per that page: "Add the tag {{wikify}} to the top of the article. A bot will automatically change this to something like {{wikify-date|May 2006}} within 24 hours. Any articles you see listed near the bottom of this page have been tagged and are waiting to be automatically sorted into a monthly subcategory.".
Just {{wiki}} seems alright to me, bots have picked those up alright. Equendil 20:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, you're right! Someone misled me at some point. My mistake. -Big Smooth 21:01, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doc-Fai Wong

Sorry to be a bore, but Doc-Fai Wong looks like a copyvio of www.plumblossom.net/Grandmaster. I have marked it up as a csd. Mr Stephen 21:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Guess I should have let the pages get deleted for the wrong reason, I'll tag other pages I've saved earlier from speedy deletion, and that have similar content. Equendil 21:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, they might not have got deleted. You probably did the right thing. Mr Stephen 22:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dirt Bike (Game)

Hello Equendil. I had to change it to {{prod}} as ads are not speedyable. don't worry, I used to do this four months ago, see User talk:Blnguyen/Archive1 and I am now an admin. Keep up the good work.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 04:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Damn, thanks for the update, it was so blatently wrong it didn't even cross my mind that still doesn't qualify for speedy deletion. Equendil 04:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs

Hello Equendil,

I noticed that you've been marking a lot of the new articles as stubs. It is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can. That way, knowledgable people in specific fields can find the stubs and expand them. Thanks! --MarkBuckles 05:22, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to remember at least the more common of those tags. Equendil 05:28, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logan L

In regards to the article Logan L, which you proposed for deletion, I have marked the article for speedy deletion, as I feel that the article meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion. In cases where it applies, speedy deletion is preferable to proposed deletion. I have left the {{prod}} tag in place, so that if speedy deletion is rejected, your proposed deletion will remain in place. Thanks! Mangojuicetalk 13:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scholl

I moved your essay from Equendil/Scholl to User:Equendil/Scholl. I think that's what you meant to do the first time instead of creating an independant article; plus the / made a supbage of Equendil. Anywho, it's all fixed now- though I believe such an essay belongs on meta. Teke 00:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Doh, thanks for that. Equendil 01:12, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] photosystem merge

i just went ahead and did this merge without discussion. Hope this is OK. David D. (Talk) 19:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

It sure is ! I didn't feel very confident in doing it myself, as it's rather technical. Equendil 19:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Great, i thought it would be fine, just wanted to check. :) David D. (Talk) 19:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Russian operas

You moved my article to the this name, however this is not exactly what tha article is about. This is a subpage for the article Russian opera and includes all the links inside the Wikipedia. An I would prefer that this would be entitled as List of Russian opera articles. If it is not acceptable, please help to find the appropriate title. I wrote the folloving introduction:

"The following is a list of Russian opera articles. It provides the names of composers, librettists, opera patrones, directors, companies, theatres, singers as well as opera titles — everything that is connected to the topic Russian opera."

Thank you for your assistance, Yours, (Meladina 14:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC))

I was just reading the article again, and realized I moved it to not quite the right title, so I agree it needs moving again.
I find List of Russian opera articles to sound a little ambiguous still, what about Articles related to Russian Opera ? Equendil Talk 14:35, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that your title is less ambigueus that mine. I still prefer my version List of Russian opera articles because it begins with the word "List". Another suggestion would be just Russian opera articles that I like even more.
Please advise. (Meladina 14:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC))
What about going for the long descriptive name List of articles related to Russian opera ? No ambiguity, content matches the title. I really find "list of russian opera articles" to sound like what I've mistaken it for the first time, ie, a list of russian operas. If you don't like this last one, you have my approval for a title of your own chosing, I really only wanted to get rid of "The" in the title, which is against naming rules. Please make sure no redirect is broken after moving a second time Equendil Talk 14:48, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
You probably right, but disadvantage of your title List of articles related to Russian opera that it is too long. As you see I created a new entry Russian opera articles and moved there all the content from the previous one. Now I need to eliminate the previous, but I afraid to do do something wrong. Could you help me? (Meladina 14:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC))
Sure,i'll check and redirect. Equendil Talk 15:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
All redirects done and fine now Equendil Talk 15:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Listing Sub pages

I cannot for the life of me find out how to list sub pages in a given namespace (starting with my user space) ... any help welcome Equendil Talk 07:08, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, see this page to list all pages in your userspace. Cheers, Tangotango 07:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Damn, that was one of three links I had never clicked to see what it led to in "Special pages". Thanks a lot, I was reluctant to create sub pages knowing I would forgot what I called them pretty quick :) Equendil Talk 07:13, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vestigial brain: NOR

Shame for WP:NOR, or vestigial brain could be added to the list. Equendil Talk 21:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, maybe not OR after all. Take a look at [[1]] --Ramdrake 22:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

haha, thanks for that :) Equendil Talk 23:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notablility

Hi, I've just removed the notability tag you added to the article Yossi Melman that I recently created. I can understand that the article's original form would raise some eyebrows since I left it with only a short sentence and no references, but I just added a reference as well as a long bibliography. I hope that clears up any confusion. Joshdboz 23:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

That was indeed the reason, and yes, it clears up the confusion. Equendil Talk 23:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Cantor

Hi. I changed the tag to just a "stub" tag. I'm not sure there is anything else about him on the 'net. He may have retired from theater around the time the internet was created. --Ssilvers 03:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jo Kittinger Permission

You should forward the permission-granting e-mail and post the permission as directed here: Wikipedia:Successful requests for permission. --mtz206 (talk) 23:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I will do that, I was not aware of that procedure, thanks. Equendil Talk 23:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
No prob - and thanks for the effort on getting permission. --mtz206 (talk) 01:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Was a little foolish of me seeing as it was merely an entry I saved from speedy deletion and just a little paragraph but oh well :) Equendil Talk 01:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks Equendil

Hey,

Thanks for the info i might just do that in order to my everyones life easier. I will just wait to see what will the response from InShaneee.

Thanks again

Hey, you're welcome :) Equendil Talk 04:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Well now i hope my first article will be published and then i will feel famous :)

Davidoff 04:35, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I just saw you removed that scary paragraph that appeared on the article, Thanks :) does this mean I get to keep my article, or do I need to go through another process to be sure this will stay up? Thanks for explaining all this, this info is very useful Davidoff 04:46, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, now you need to remove any doubt that you're the owner of the copyrighted web pages, either by setting them free under GDFL licence, or using this page as someone pointed out to me earlier today : Wikipedia:Successful requests for permission, which would involve mailing the wikimedia foundation from an email address that marks you as the owner of the website. Either way, make sure to mention it on the talk page when you're done.
As for scary box, it's part of the speedy deletion procedure, which you can check at WP:SD. There are other procedures, you can check the whole thing here : WP:DP. Anyway, I don't think your article should be tagged for speedy deletion again. If it happens, just edit and remove the box and leave a message on the talk page of whoever put the tag, some of us wikipedians are a bit trigger happy with copyright violations :) The message on the talk page and history of the article should make it safe now however Equendil Talk 04:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Well i did as you said although trying to send the email to permissions@wikimedia.org gave me an error i am not on one of the allowed domains so i just left a short message on the talk page of the article, so now i wait :)

Davidoff 05:33, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Better go back to plan A and mention on your website that the pages are under GFDL then, it really is the best way by far to ensure it won't go to deletion in the future. There's no central authority on wikipedia that will answer your message on the talk page anyway. Equendil Talk 05:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
So all i would need to do is to simply put a footer on my pages similar to what is on the wiki pages? All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (see Copyrights for details). With the links as well ofcourse :) Davidoff 05:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Yep, exactly. Equendil Talk 05:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I suggest linking to http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html rather than wikipedia however, and you can skip the 'see copyright' link unless you want to write a page detailing the licence in term of your website of course. Equendil Talk 05:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
so life is easy after all :) will do that probably within a day or two :) no worries :)

Davidoff 06:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

One last question i have is to know what sort of rights i have on an article i published on wiki , i mean with respect to various edits some people might make in the future.

I am really picking your brain for all this information :) Well i hope this info will be useful to other new article editors that might read this. One other question was to know if i do put on my site the "GNU Free Documentation License" link does this mean that every person can copy info from my site and post it here on wiki? (i guess this is the most important question...) Davidoff 08:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

You don't have any 'right' on an article published on wiki, anybody can edit :)
As for the second question, yes, but you don't have to release your entire site under GDFL, just the pages you chose to feature on wikipedia (or other places). Equendil Talk 15:00, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Again thanks for your ongoing help I think I am slowly starting to get the idea of how things work here. Hope it will come through because I do not see anything wrong with sharing information on a much global scale such as wiki, especially when no real explanation of this topic was made on wikipedia other then a small section on the backgammon article.

Davidoff 16:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


  • I have put the GNU Free Documentation License link on my page, so i hope it will be enough to get this published here, i have a lot more articles i would like to publish and this is good for me to learn the correct process of conducting this in the best manner. Please have a look at the site [2] to see the link addition.

Davidoff 16:37, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

  • It's perfect as far as copyright issues go.
  • Look like your article has been proposed by someone to deletion again, through a different mean and for different reasons (basically on the ground that the article is a game manual (WP:NOT), you can take part in the discussion like everyone else, though it's best if you mention you're the original author of the article there. Click the links on the 'AfD' box on the article for more information. I'm sorry you're going through so much trouble here. That's some ultra quick course to Wikipedia you're taking here :) Equendil Talk 16:47, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Hey do you mind having a look at some of the changes I have made to the article and if you think they are good can you make some comments on the AfD discussion. Thanks Davidoff 07:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Just added comments on the AfD page. Equendil Talk 12:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I tried to do my best, using pertinent informations. The principal thing that I have to do is to find the sources that were lost in the article Romanians, which specify that there are 500,000 Romanians in France. Surely, over the time the article will be improved. Cheers, Arthur 9 June 2006

Pour la traduction de l'article France_in_the_American_Revolutionary_War, je suis capable de comprendre l'anglais, donc je vais (dans la semaine) verifier si tu n'as pas fait des erreurs de sens (qui changeraient l'Histoire), et validé tout ca.

Salut, je viens de continuer la vérification du sens de tes traductions sur France_in_the_American_Revolutionary_War ( Voir la difference des historiques ). J'ai fait une partie, mais je n'ai pas encore finit la vérification. En tout cas, je te remerci puisque tu as fait le principal (la traduction), donc cela deviendra bientôt un bel article anglais :] Yug (talk) 10:40, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice meeting you

I thank you for your attention and remarks. I apologize that I did not reply earlier. I am new to this and do not kow my way around very well. Sorry If I appeared to you as proselytizing in my own little world. I ususally deal with adventists only, as all davidians do, and rarely talk about the rod to people who know nothing about it. I am trying to be as objective as possible, but when I made this section I wanted to put something there temporarily till I make a better article. I am trying to work on something more detailed and with a more scientific format. The article wacokid added was better. It is false and unaccepable for both davidians and branch davidians to confuse thes two as part of one family. The doctrines are different to the extreme and the two structures have totally different motives, organization and objective. Please feel free to contact me if you feel I am messing up, which I am sure I will do often. THanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Srodinfo (talk • contribs).

Your last comment just before you wrote this on my talk page being "Oh UberCryxic, don't lie", I think I'll give it a miss. Equendil Talk 18:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


Oh, I don't think so ... You said:

  • "Laying in repair" is anything but vital information, similar additions could be made for pretty much any battle, there are always reasons battles are lost: "outnumbered", "caught by surprise", "exhausted troops" etc, this belongs to detailed articles not short overviews.
  • Replacing "several victories" with "one more early victory" is not accurate, UberCryxic cited the battles, you claimed they didn't happen, it's flat out wrong, what now ? Equendil Talk 20:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

To which I said:

>>:*"Laying in repair" is anything but vital information, similar additions could be made for pretty much any battle, there are always reasons battles are lost: "outnumbered", "caught by surprise", "exhausted troops" etc, this belongs to detailed articles not short overviews.<<

In that case you're hypocritical as these sentences weren't reverted;

managing to resoundingly defeat a combined Spanish-Dutch fleet --> defeated a Spanish-Dutch fleet Financial difficulties, however, allowed the English and the Dutch to regain the initiative at sea. --> However the English and Dutch regained initiative.

However, in a very impressive effort, a more numerical French fleet under de Grasse managed to defeat an English fleet at the Battle of the Chesapeake which ended in a tactical draw --> However a French fleet under de Grasse managed to engage an English fleet at the Battle of the Chesapeake which ended in a tactical draw

Beyond that, and Suffren's impressive campaigns against the British in India --> Beyond that, and Suffren's campaigns against the British in India

and obliterated the Chinese navy at the Battle of Foochow in 1884 --> of 1838 and defeated the Chinese navy at the Battle of Foochow in 1884


>>:*Replacing "several victories" with "one more early victory" is not accurate, UberCryxic cited the battles, you claimed they didn't happen, it's flat out wrong, what now ? <<

Is it? Several early victories.Several means more than 1.But it doesn't quite cover just 2 early victories, that's flat out wrong, what now?

Where's that reply of yours? Surely you know what you 're talking about ...Rex Germanus Tesi samanunga is edele unde scona 19:22, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Feel free to alter the wording and remove subjective adjectives such as "impressive", I won't oppose that. However that doesn't include "obliterating" the chinese navy which can be substantiated. As for "one more early victory", it was factually wrong, period. Beyond that, I have no interest in getting dragged down into edit wars involving personal attacks and questionable intents. Equendil Talk 19:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Topography of the Lungs

Thanks for the comments on The Topography of the Lungs article, but i think you need to read it again. It is introduced, the genre is identified, and the players are listed and are internally linked. Stephen Dorian

Ultimately, the genre is Jazz but was not mentionned once and not obvious for someone unfamiliar with "Free Improvisation", "Bailey" linked to a disambiguation page, nationality was not mentionned, the "Inus Records" link was also broken ("Incus Records"), hence my observations. I attempted to address the issue. Equendil Talk 01:31, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Ultimately it is not Jazz, an only someone who never heard it would say that. No one intrested in this record would search for it first. They would find Derek Bailey first and then go to the Topography article.

How do you make sure people do that ? Hell, the article was orphan before I added links. It's best not to make assumption and write proper introductions. I'm sorry to say that the first sentence: "The Topography of the Lungs was the first release on Incus Records, the record label founded partly by Derek Bailey." provides more information about a "Derek Bailey" than it does about the subject. But whatever, have it your way, I shouldn't waste my time on obscure entries in the first place. Equendil Talk 15:41, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Considering it is actually a Derek Bailey solo album, despite the presence of the other musicians, it should provide info about Derek Bailey. You shouldn't waste your time on things you don't know anything about.

Considering this is an encyclopedia, not a "Derek Bailey" fan site, an article should provide information about the *subject*. Equendil Talk 02:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Block

Can I request you block User:4.43.46.13 for yet another vandalism to the article Love song? He has continually vandalised articles & I noticed your name on his talk page. If you are not an admin, would you be able to point me in the direction of one or tell them yourself? I'll give him a warning but I do not think it is getting through to him & I would like him blocked sufficently. Thanks, Spawn Man 02:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm no admin I'm afraid, the WP:AIAV page can be used to get vandals blocked if necessary. It's best to issue a warning first to draw attention of the vandal to the fact he's going to be stopped as he may not be the same person (shared IPs, school IPs ..) that received the other warnings (that were on different days), though you can shoot for ({{test4}} straight if the IP has an history of vandalism and the new vandalism is blatant enough, then and only then report that IP if he does it again.

Hey man what's up? Yeah I heard. I got back my day job of putting up pics of her on my former high school forum! Finally. Summer without Melissa is like a rose without petals. What kind of a rose is that? A rose that sucks, that's what. Haha.....I'm jealous man. You can see her regularly and I can only drool. I was wondering, is she only on twice a month? And do you have any idea on her viewership this time? Nevermind the site answers these questions lol......freaking awesome.UberCryxic 22:18, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi...explanation

Thanks for the reply. What I mean is the way it appears now is like the man's first name is "Sri" instead of Harold. So if I do a search for Harold Klemp, which is the name most people would search for, it says "redirected from Harold Klemp."

Instead, I think it should be the other way around. Does that make sense? When I checked amazon.com and google searches I find that he uses the name Harold Klemp. The title Sri is a term of respect, but if he wanted it on his name he would add it to his books, therefore I think the Wiki article should conform to the way he lists his name on books, etc. Based on my research, he is referred to as "Sri" by other people, but he does not refer to himself that way and does not use it in the title of his books.

A user did a redirect from the way it used to be and I think it should be restored to the original way it was listed, but somebody can add this title of respect in the text of the bio instead of in the main title. KarateLadyKarateLady 16:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you once again...

Thank you so much. I will add the appropriate notes to the discussion section on there. Cheers to you! KarateLadyKarateLady 16:37, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] question

Hello Equendil, Can you please look at the article Ambrose Burfoot. There seems to be a problem with the external link at the bottom. I have tried to fix it, but it doesn't want to respond. Perhaps I have done something wrong. KarateLadyKarateLady 02:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Wow...that was fast! Thanks a million. KarateLadyKarateLady 02:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stick to the Facts

"Your request for investigation for sockpuppetry at Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser/Case/Poison sf was answered by a bureaucrat, the case was checked, and the users you listed were deemed Unrelated. Please quit your disruptive behaviour, harassing wikipedians you disagree with will get you nowhere and is against the policies of Wikipedia. Consider this a warning before action is taken. Read Wikipedia:Etiquette, Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:No personal attacks for further information. Equendil Talk 17:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)"

The CU investigation was merely one step. The evidence is overwhelming. The CU was for a combination of sock and meat puppet abuse and checking a 'representative sample' of users is not dispositive. As for disruptive behavior and harrassment - I have done neither, and UberCyrxic has attempted to get me banned by every avenue imaginable including contacting admins directly, which is forum selection and is strictly prohibited. I refuse to recognize your warning and I caution you in the strongest of terms not to threaten me again. Stick to the Facts 17:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


Please refer to the wikipedia talk page guidelines. "Don't threaten people: For example, threatening people with "admins you know" or having them banned for disagreeing with you." Thanks a bunch, Stick to the Facts 18:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New userpage

Your old userpage was boring so I took the liberty to vandalize it and improve it. Obviously if you don't like it just revert. If you have a problem with the colors then just play around with them for a while until you find something that you like. Au revoir!UberCryxic 21:14, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, thanks a bunch, that's a definitive improvement, I'm going to have to add some content eventually, it's rather lacking right now, but at least it looks less boring now indeed :) Equendil Talk 21:28, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The amazing sock puppet show

Now I know that sock puppetry can be a serious pain in the arse but when it's this amateur and transparent in nature it's actually quite funny. --Charlesknight 21:46, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Aye, in a twisted kind of way, it's pretty funny, but it gets dull after a while, I've been interacting with people online for like ten years now, and well, there's few variations to the plot. What never ceases to amazing me though is how those people think they can fool everyone by hiding behind nicknames and stacking lies upon lies, even long after they've been exposed.

Eq, Thanks for the input. This man's book is used as a reference on a few other sites, so I wanted to make improvements to the article. I'm still learning things on here, and I appreciate the help. KarateLadyKarateLady 23:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:My RfA

I added this response to the oppose vote that David D. posted on my RfA.

"I did calm down problems. What McGinnly quoted on his talk page was the first edit I made. I ended up changing that a bit after I had cooled down a bit. I even repeatedly apologized on McGinnly's talk page, and I went as far as re-answering his question. We have resolved our conflict. Apparently, people may not have seen this yet (and I would understand why), but if people had seen it, they would have seen how that I avoided a potentially huge conflict by eventually resolving it in due time. 6 of these oppose votes came as a result of the comment I left on McGinnly's talk page the first time, and people haven't checked to see how I tried to make amends for my behavior."

I just want to tell you that this was an anomaly in my behavior, and that McGinnly took my comment out of context. I had reformed my edit, and I even repeatedly apologized to McGinnly and I have gone as far as making amends for my behavior.

Although you may think negatively of me still, I would appreciate it if you re-consider your vote on my RfA (even though, it looks like it will close later today).

--Nishkid64 20:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I had read the other edits already. That you reacted so negatively to criticism in the first place, and quite aggressively so as well, while you were being considered for adminship and knew you had your every move watched, doesn't make me trust you with admin tools. What will happen when nobody is watching ? Being quick-tempered is not compatible with adminship in my opinion. I expect the RfA is closed now, but I wouldn't have changed my "vote". Hopefully, you can take this in a constructive manner and remember to remain cool headed in all circumstances in the future, even when under fire. Equendil Talk 23:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
I see you are now an admin, so my congratulations nonetheless. Equendil Talk 23:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. I have definitely learned a lesson here, and you can be assured that I will follow your advice. --Nishkid64 00:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nishkid64's RfA thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RfA, which closed successfully earlier today with a result of (60/9/4). Although, I encountered a few problems in my RfA, I have peacefully resolved my conflicts and made amends with the people involved. If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free talk to me. I hope I will live up to your expectations. --Nishkid64 22:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] France portal subpages

Equendil- I noticed you got rid of the red borders of the frames... except on the lowest two frames. I'm not particularly attached to the red borders (I had put them in for bleu blanc rouge). Can you fix either the last frames or the upper ones for consistency? --NYArtsnWords 23:32, 28 September 2006 (UTC) Oh, thanks, BTW, for doing it (i.e. the subpages/templates).

Aye, I've just noticed that too, I'll make them all the same colour. Equendil Talk 23:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
By the way, I didn't really get rid of the red borders, I just copy/pasted the templates from another portal, and haven't altered them yet, apart from the royal blue background in titles. Equendil Talk 23:36, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Oh, ok. Hey, as a token of my appreciation... maybe you'd like to chose the article of the month for Oct? --NYArtsnWords 23:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Equendil! I was just curious about an edit you made a short time ago, and was specifically wondering why you removed a number of questions. Thanks, Dar-Ape 18:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

ouch! Thanks for bringing this up to my attention. I wanted to write an answer and went to click the 'edit' button for the section, only there was no such button, I reloaded the page, still no section 'edit' button, so I had to edit the whole page to insert my answer, which I did and saved. In retrospect, it looks like I have been editing a previous version of the page hence why I was missing the section edit buttons. Dumb mistake, sorry about that. Equendil Talk 18:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help wanted request

Equendil, thanks for responding to my resquest for help. I started editing a ophan article called Lords reform. I've attracted a lot of criticism at a very early stage because I started with a paste from various sources which was obviously political.

If you could look at my user page, my question is there. Please beware that I'm struggling just to cope with the basics. Mike 16:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks for responding to my help request. by posting that picture on my talk page, you solved my problem! the fact that you responded by saying "here ya go" and then posting that picture baffles me. that was the most ridiculously assinine and unnecessary comment ever, moron. i still must ask what the fuck were you thinking? 76.16.75.77 04:41, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Right now, I think what you need is a longer block. Equendil Talk 10:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
a personal attack?? because i called you a moron?! okay, your the sensitive type that does not take well to constructive criticism. by the way, i like the way you evaded my question. back to that, why did you post that picture instead of offer your assistance? please clarify that to me because i thought it was counterproductive and imbecilic; however, i do admire your audacity. i am very interested in your response. thanks. 76.16.75.77 22:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo in KP duty article

Well, heck if I can figure out what I was doing wrong yesterday, in fact I just copied and pasted the frustrating thing I had tried and failed to post yesterday and it worked today. Anyway, I got it up the size I wanted, and just wrote a caption underneath and it enhances the article. It's the first article I've created on Wikipedia, and I found a great Public Domain DoD photo to put in it, and managed to upload the photo myself, so I'm rather pleased. KP duty.

So, maybe it's not the font of culture and the bastion of knowledge, but it's something folks might want to know. I'll work on the links tomorrow. Thanks for the help. KP Botany 22:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

PS One of the other botany folks re-aligned the photo so it looks nicer on the page, in with the text, instead of just stuck on the bottom, and bolded the text so it's clearer. KP duty I keep thinking I'll figure it out one of these days, then someone just comes along and does it for me. I'm all for random-acts-of-editing that improve the content. KP Botany 17:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

PPS I eventually figured out how to post images on Wikipedia. They usually require someone more competant for an attractive format, but I can routinely post them now, and can generally debug. I think there are ought to be a barnstar for "First time newbie tries something different without screaming at computer." KP Botany 22:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First level warning (here you go)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

ok, ma friend. lemme tell you sumpin'. My block expired so i removed my unblock template as wikipedia policy says. Also, it is my right to delete any other comment on my talk page, except warnings isn't that so? you however:

  • you restored the unblock template, a idiotic move i'd say (i am criticizing the edits, not the author in case you get any funny ideas) without a sane reason.
  • you restored your idiotic comments about open proxy. You think this is a proxy, a stupid opinion of course, you go tell an admin not go trolling my page with crap.
  • therefore, adding these nonsense to my page could and will be considered vandalism and i'd suggest you stop. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.248.204.176 (talk • contribs).
Unfortunately (again), I've just left a message on your talk page from your IP address which you claim is not a proxy. Everyone is invited to check, here's the diff, and its confirmation. You can put as many warnings as you want on my talk page, this will get you blocked, not me. Equendil Talk 00:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, i was just having a little fun and you took advantage of this. You proved nothing convincingly actually. Told you, think is an open proxy, you go tell an admin to block me, not go trolling my page. Or perhaps you do not know who is an admin?
