[edit] Personal Attacks

Just remember the Gospel of WP: NPA. A certain user whom I think we both know has rubbed me the wrong way too, but calling him out like that is probably not the best way to run things. BigHaz 07:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure this is about me, but just in case it is, please be aware that I'm perfectly fine with you two criticizing my edits and calling me a troll as much as you want. If you want to do so in a way that risks violating WP:NPA, feel free to E-mail me. Stanfordandson 22:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your reverts of wikipedia:verifiability

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

The edit summary of your last revert read: "Rv. Gain consensus before making major edits to policy articles."

Note that SlimVirgin didn't "gain consensus" for her series of six edits 20:45 to 20:53, 24 June 2006, while I did for the version preceding that series of edits.

Your reverts were not helping in stabilising the WP:V policy page. And are in danger of breaking 3RR.

FYI,

I replyed to your oppose vote in my rfa. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 07:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Greek Americans

Just about one of the last lists to go unsourced/fixed up. I seem to be coming under a bit of fire there - would appreciate some back up. Thanks. Overall this seems to have worked out very well for the majority of lists, btw Mad Jack 22:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I really, really, really, really do please need your asssitance. A sort of "rebellion" is going on across the board with these lists. Please check out List of Polish Americans and List of French-Americans. Mad Jack 04:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
And another bit here [1], by Arniep. Mad Jack 15:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks, and thanks (nt)

Mad Jack 00:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oh, and I thank you too!

[edit] RfA Thanks, believe it or not

Thank you, Grace, for giving of your time to take part in my RfA. While I am happy that wikipedia as a whole reached a consensus to allow me to perform administrative tasks, I will keep in mind everything I have learned through the process, of which you were a part. Please feel free to provide constructive criticism. I would like to mention that the quote you referred to was among my very first here in wikipedia. I believe that if you were to look at the 3500 or so edits since then, you would have seen a clearer picture. Regardless, this is a community procedure and I appreciate your taking the time to partake in it. Avi 03:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X-American nonsense

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of Irish-Americans, a test case. Arniep 19:44, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stanfordandson

I don't see it as a content issue. I see it as clearly deliberate disruption, and I think it was reasonable to take into account his past editing history as his edits became less blatantly unreasonable. I think he was deliberately trying to create the sort of difficulty that I am now in, and I thought if I stayed the course and dealt with him that I would be backed up. This was reinforced by several admins of good sense agreeing with my blocks (I hadn't thought Jeffrey O. Gustafson and pgk were rogue admins), and not raising even the suggestion that I'd screwed up.

Can I ask how detailed a look you've taken at his edits? I feel it's very hard to summarize properly all the evidence that this user had no interest in contributing to Wikipedia, but rather in making peoples' lives difficult. -- SCZenz 07:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

We're on the same page here about what's going on, then, but I disagree with your approach to all this. If in my assesement, corroborated by other admins, the primary purpose of an account is to deliberately disrupt Wikipedia, why shouldn't I take action? Disruption is disruption; it's not the "wrong thing" to block a deliberately-disruptive user just because the edits don't fit individually into the mold of vandalism. The fact that someone could argue it's a content dispute isn't an issue if it is not, in fact, a content dispute. And I didn't think I was indluging him, because I honestly expected to be backed up all the way.
Between the implied concerns of the arbitrators and your suggestions, it might be best for me to stop dealing with this guy entirely. The problem is that I'm not sure that's what's best for Wikipedia—will anyone else keep an eye on him? -- SCZenz 11:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Replied by email. -- SCZenz 07:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arniep

The guy just won't stop, will he? Now he's created Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Rules for lists of X-Americans, knowing full well we don't have "Rules". Cheers... Mad Jack 16:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for

The move/revert war issue for Israeli Apartheid has been referred to arbitration. See Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Move and revert warring at Israeli Apartheid /SlaveCrixus 17:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at [[Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Apartheid (disambiguation)]], and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. /SlaveCrixus 17:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rose Garden

Hi GN, I blocked Rose Garden as requested, but it probably hasn't been compromised. People requesting new passwords is quite common. They do it just to be a nuisance. The password doesn't get changed just because an anon IP makes a request; you have to confirm. The notice you got should have given you the IP address that made the request. You could look it up to see whether you can guess who it was. SlimVirgin (talk) 03:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  !!

Bon jour. --Rednblu 12:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Oui, ça va bien. J'ai été très content d'avoir de tes nouvelles. --Rednblu 06:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I like the plain way you talk

At WP:RS. As you know, I don't have a clue about you or your interests. I'm just stating the obvious from my own POV. Also, I found it somewhat cheering to read your User Page. Terryeo 02:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Sean Black

I said if he was given his sysop bit again, he would abuse it, and lo and behold, he's abused it. Can I appeal to any admin watching this page to unblock me. I am a contributor in good faith, with literally thousands of edits to the encyclopaedia. Having unpopular opinions is not, so far as I know, yet a blocking offence. Grace Note 11:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Your talk page was on my watchlist and I saw the complaint. Jesus. The block log sounds like something unpleasant happened. What's the story? You made a few uncivil comments at Talk:God which would merit a sanction or warning, but there's nothing on AN, ANI, any of the editing abuse boards, or personal attack noticeboards. I'm curious as to what triggered the block (as well as an autoblock of another user, if I read the Ipblocklist summary). Something's going on, and it doesn't sit well in my stomach. Captainktainer * Talk 12:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
It's a guy with an offwiki grudge. He's clearly unhappy that I opposed his RfA strongly and we've clashed before. It's not the first time he's indefinitely banned someone he doesn't like. Grace Note 22:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Maybe it's time for the {{unblock}} template. You certainly have the right to call attention to this and ask for a review. Captainktainer * Talk 22:53, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your concern. I've now been unblocked and can get back to editing the encyclopaedia. Grace Note 00:29, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Legalities

We think alike. --Tbeatty 03:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Armenia

Please visit the Talk: Armenia and Talk: Armenians pages http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Armenia&action=edit&section=3 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Armenians&action=edit&section=36 please voice your view on the current discussion, there is a small minority that are promoting and point of view that Armenia is geographically in Europe and Armenians are a European people. It is best to serve the factual truth and your support is desperately needed.

[edit] List of Brisbane Suburbs

Hi GraceNote, You have been a active author on List of Brisbane Suburbs. Would you like to provide a comment on my question asked on the discussion page about the future of the page? Thanks Rimmeraj 12:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A note regarding dispute resolution

Inability to resolve issues with Giano is a huge minus. [2]

I quite agree: After this is done (I have no illusions that I'm going to miraculously win a passing percentage, but I see no point in withdrawing now) I'm going to attempt my own first dispute resolution to end this conflict. I've apologized to him in e-mail, as Bishonen suggested, and while he initially accepted this and decided it was behind us, apparently his ill feelings towards me continue. I didn't find his questions to me on the ArbCom candidate questions page to be questions so much as a very public statement, hence my avoidance of them. I didn't feel that my own involvement with Giano was ever even attempted in mediation or RfC, so I didn't take part in the ArbCom case as it was neither directly related to me, and also it was (in my view at the time) terribly premature.

Honestly, I think I should've taken the chance to let the arbitrators decide the thing and have it end then and there.

Anyway, don't take this as a plea to change your vote, I actually find your opinion regarding the matter quite correct. ~Kylu (u|t) 03:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
