From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been around. It's been a lot longer than a few weeks hasn't it? It will probably be longer. I plan on returning, but I have enough stress in my life going on as it is, and even the occasional mild WikiStress seems to aggravate me a lot more than it used to. I express my deepest apologies to all those to whom I had commitments of any kind that I have not upheld.

Welcome to my talk page. Please be civil. Also, for the sake of convenience and organization, try to make sure that any discussion started here stays here. If you expect a response, feel free to add this talk page to your watchlist.

Also, here is an updating record of discussions I've had on user talk pages other than my own. I may also include discussions from article pages if they're noteworthy and relevant to me personally.

Thank you very much for the welcome. I've been reading and using Wikipedia for a long time and felt like I was long overdue for giving something back. -- Hinotori 09:47, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] United States vs American Television Networks Categories

(Originally posted at User talk:AllyUnion)

The category clearly states that Category:American television networks should redirect to Category:United States television networks but the bot seems to be doing the opposite. [1]

Confused. Hope this works out. -- Hinotori 00:09, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

The bot is functioning normally. A user attempted to rename Category:United States television networks and Category:United States radio networks without bringing the matter to WP:CFD. I swapped the tags to reverse the process. The same user also performed a copy-and-paste move of List of United States cable and satellite television networks to List of American cable and satellite television networks, the latter of which was speedily deleted. I intend to nominate the two new categories for deletion after the bot has finished emptying Category:American radio networks. —Lifeisunfair 03:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks so much for clarifying that for me. :)

I'd say 86 reviews, 350 BBS posts, and 1526 Blams/Protects constitutes being a "fan." Probably in excess of healthy levels. :D Merry Christmas.

[edit] Brazil4Linux

Just wanted to say, thanks for your help so far in dealing with B4L. I don't know what's up with this guy, but it looks like he'll be in my hair for quite some time now in the future. I just don't understand what motivates some people. Why does he do this? Daniel Davis 13:48, 25 December 2005 (UTC) (Doom127)

No thanks necessary. It really gets under my skin to see people who try to twist the rules to their own benefit. I snapped when I saw him posting bullshit from Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Hypocrisy defined. Personally, I think his all-consuming hatred for Microsoft is pretty scary. Any rational person would realize that such obsession not only accomplishes little, but also only makes you more a victim of your (real or imagined) enemy. Will he ever actually hurt the beast that is Bill Gates and co? No. But he can let his anger burn him up along with a lot of other hard working editors here, and, perhaps, in his mind, that validates his paranoid delusions of victimization allowing him to blame a faceless entity for the fact that he's wasting so much of his life on this petty crap. Bah. Whatever. We can only hope he'll run out of steam eventually. Luckily for you, he doesn't seem to be a criminal genius, if you catch my meaning, so at least his weak, if persistent, attacks can be overturned.

[edit] Armenian Genocide Vandalism

What did I do wrong? I just want to correct something on the Armenian Genocide??

(The last comment was by User:81.107.68.103)

Don't be silly. You blanked a huge article, then replaced it with two sentences. If this wasn't intentional, please preview your work before hitting submit button, especially if it's a large article.

[edit] Homosexuality/American Dream

I apologize for inserting opinion into what should be an unbiased account. Idiocy on my part.

(Last comment was by User:24.68.204.146)

No apologies to me necessary. I just work here. ;) You are welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia, as long as you follow the rules, and are encouraged to do so. Just keep in mind that NPOV is a central part of every article. Also, as an American myself, I can tell you that not all of us are obese, selfish bastards, even if many are. :P Blanket stereotypes are almost always unacceptable. Good luck in the future. Cheers.

-- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 15:11, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Momentary lapse in judgement due to too much rum and mass media. I know I don't need to apologize, but I feel like an idiot. Shan't happen again. Thanks for being civil.

No problem. :) -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 15:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

I should probably mention that not all Canadians are anti-American drunks, though a few of us were. ;) Cheers!

[edit] Punisher

OK, it's what I written also on the Punisher talk page, but then I saw that you have your own talk page (sorry, I'm new) and decided to send it also here. I hope you won't concider it spam, if yes, sorry ;-)

OK, it was me who added the info about his later appearance in Ultimate Spider-Man, where he fought a bank robber equipped with some kind of flying suit and was stopped by Spidey. Someone else written the part about fans not liking the story. I think the piece about the action should be left. It is, as far as I know, the only Ultimate Punisher appearance since he was imprisoned. So I think one line is not too much for this, as it is important to note, that he managed to escape from the prison but was probably send there again. If he continues to apperar of course this one little fact will be not significiant, but so far it is the only thing we have exept the Ultimate Marvel Team Up story. Cheers

Oh, one more thing. I think it should be noted, that Punisher doesn;t have his own Ultimate Punisher comic book, and that he only appeared as o guest in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up next to Spider-Man (who can be called the host of this serries) and Daredevil. It would be good to mention also that Frank and Jillette weren't just "caught by the police" as it is written now, but, that Castle fought Daredevil and was knocked out by interferring Spider-Man and then delivered by him to a police station. I could do it myself but I'm afraid that my English can be not good enough to play with bigger parts of text.

[edit] Semi-protection needed on Kutaragi

Brazil4Linux has returned, again. I think the only viable option is that Kutaragi become a semiprotected article... Daniel Davis 00:54, 27 December 2005 (UTC) (Doom127)

Agreed. Oye vey. -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 01:30, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't know how he did it, but B4L managed to bypass the block Nandesuka put on him. You know, we were JUST BEGINNING to make some real progress on this article, too. Daniel Davis 06:50, 28 December 2005 (UTC) (Doom127)

I already noticed and commented on it on the Kutaragi talk page. From the big picture standpoint, however, it makes little difference. B4L can actively get by blocks by changing his ip and using sockpuppets anyways. At least if he uses his real name we can monitor his edits. Furthermore, I think an admin will probably block the main account again either way. Personally, I think more permanent action needs to be taken because he's obviously not getting the message. Did you see his reference to the rest of us as "lame/newbies"?

-- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 07:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

The whole thing was, with the article being semi-protected, that meant that anon ips and new users couldn't edit it. Meaning Brazil couldn't just up and create a new user account or an anon IP in order to mess with the group consensus, you see? But if he can somehow still log in as B4L (who isn't a new user or an anon ip) that means he can mess with the article again... And yeah, I saw that "newbie" thing. It's one of the tamer personal assaults the guy's done; he's personally threatened Alkivar and left a comment on my user talk page about how he hopes a bomb goes off and kills me. Daniel Davis 07:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC) (Doom127)

Oh that's real lovely. I see your point about the semi-protection. I was under the impression that only anonymous ips couldn't edit it, so I figured a semi-protection wouldn't do that much good. But that's good news to me. After checking the policy, however, it seems that new users can jump on board after four days. B4L has demonstrated that he has that kind of patience (fanaticism?). Like I said, I think the admins will be pretty quick to block him again. The lift has to be some kind of mistake. I hope. Feel free to let me know if he extends his tendrils to other pages, I have Neowin and Ken Kutaragi on my watchlist at the moment. As I've said already, I can't contribute much, but I can certainly help watch for POV edits and vandalism. Also, if someone can establish that hate-filled rant against the U.S. traces back to him, I think that'd be worthy of an indefinite block.

-- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 07:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

You mean 201.29.52.180? I already traced it right back to his IP in Juiz de Fora, Brazil. It's the exact same ISP, veloxzone.com.br, that Brazil's been using since the very first time he logged in as an anon IP way back when. Daniel Davis 07:41, 28 December 2005 (UTC) (Doom127)

Great. Maybe make a note of that here? The more evidence we can consolidate, the better.

[edit] List of non-fictional heroes

Heh. Sorry about that; didn't mean to step on your toes :-) —Kirill Lokshin 03:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Nah. No apology necessary. Thanks for saving me the hassle. :)

-- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 03:57, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wow

I just got back from my birthday celebration. Seems that while I was opening my new Shadow of the Collossus game and watching Narnia, Brazil4Linux was busy trying to smash away at your page. That means, of course, that the block worked; he won't be able to vandalize the Ken Kutaragi article at all. Many thanks we owe to the tireless folks who kept erasing his "edits", that's for sure. And thanks to you for your support through all this. Daniel Davis 07:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC) (Doom127)

[edit] An Alert

Bet you'll never guess who this is. :) I'll get to the reason why I'm hiding behind it in a moment. I've been watching the edits, writing style and posting history of User:Dungeon_Siege (including his use of a so-called "anonymous IP", calling everyone vandals, etc, and I'm now thoroughly convinced that he's another sockpuppet of Brazil4Linux. Alkivar's got his page protected (because B4L vandalized it a while back repeatedly), so I'll have to notify him about it via my regular account. Can we get someone who can do user traces to track this latest one back to B4L? I think this might be the cataylst for a Permablock. I'm sure he's tracking the Doom127 contributions, that's why I've created this Sock. I'll put this message on everyone's page so you guys are made aware of it, and you can put your responses here. Doom127sSecretSockPuppet 11:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC) (Doom127)

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, the reason I've been rather silent lately is that my old laptop died a horrible death, and I was without a computer until yesterday. I probably won't be able to really regularly check up on B4L (or his gazillion sockpuppets), but I will check my talk page daily. If you find him and need someone else to come in and lend support, let me know.

-- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 13:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I've left a comment

I've left a comment on BorgHunter's talk page, if you want to take a look. I've requested that the page get Semi-Protection (rather than full), to prevent the use of anyone using sockpuppets and anons. I think it's just what Neowin needs. Daniel Davis 23:34, 7 January 2006 (UTC) (Doom127)

Semi-protection would indeed be great, though at the time he had given full protection to B4L's version. Not that he should be blamed for that as it's always "the wrong version" that gets protected. :) Noneloud's vote should really help though. Even if B4L rolls in a dozen sockpuppets, it'll be pretty plainly obvious which are his. -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 22:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pico

Excellent work on there dude. Very nice. Daemon8666 21:18, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much. :) I noticed on your user page that you plan on cleaning up the Pico page. I think the fan-made section needs a lot of work. Many of them are notable in regards to Pico, but the reader needs to know why. Maybe you could help with that? :) -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 22:31, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Camp Delta

I'm glad you happened along, and I appreciate you speaking up on the issue. I really felt like I was banging my head against a brick wall, and at least now I have some company. ;)

Thanks again. Kafziel 23:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

No problem at all. I know what it's like to argue against irrationality in a vacuum. Very frustrating. Let me know if I can help with anything else. On a side note, sorry I missed all that vandalism on that article; I only scanned through it the first time I read it.

-- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 01:55, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I missed it all, too. Somehow I fixed some of it and didn't spot the rest. Oh, well. It looks halfway decent for now. Still needs a lot of work, but I think I need a break from that article for a little while. Kafziel 03:31, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Dear Kafziel and Hinotori. I am sorry to have take up your time and to have been on your nerves. I also felt like shouting to the wind with you :-) (Also, for the arbitration, I did not realise that you people knew each other. I should have known better...)

Anyway, I would like your comments about this: What about revamping the article on Camp Delta to gather all comments/links/refs about the concerns on torture and the rebuttal from various sources in the two sections "3 International concern about the conditions in the camp" and "4 U.S. Government Denial of Allegations of Mistreatment"? Thus, this will free the article from some repetitions and will give one place to put together all the refs. from the U.S. government (and others) and the refs. from NGOs.

Yann

Yann, in all honesty, I have never met Kafziel before reading this article. If you don't believe me, feel free to check our contributions: mine and his. I arrived at the page because I was filing a request for Mediation at the WP:Mediation Cabal and noticed his request there just above mine. I wish I could help out further on the article, but I'm going out of town for four days. If there's still dissension when I return, I'll do what I can to help. Cheers. -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 18:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Dude, Yann, seriously - let it go and please stop following me around. Hinotori, I'm sorry to have brought this to your door, and I'm sorry for his bizarre accusations that we're somehow conspiring against him. I don't know what else to say. Thanks again for your help, and I'll try to take this elsewhere. Kafziel 05:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about it; I think I can see how the language barrier may make my statement about helping with anything else seem like evidence of past collaboration instead of just a genuine offer of neighborly assistance. I want to remind you to try and keep things civil. I empathize with you, and I understand that it's frustrating, but you'll do your arguments a lot more justice by keeping a level head. Cheers. -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 18:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm here to help you out

Thanks for your vote on my candidacy for ArbCom. I think I may be able to help you out of a problem. Unfortunately we can't write with a tone of voice, so I think that my stance has come across as a more blanket statement than intended. I am, by nature, someone who believes in loopholes and exceptions, and that loopholes and exceptions can't always be predicted in advance of them being discovered. Having a rigid rule would mean following it even if it was manifest that its spirit should not apply, to the detriment of the project of building an encyclopaedia. That's the reason why I endorsed 'Ignore all rules' although I think it hideously badly named.

What I don't think is that IAR should be used in a blanket way for users to take it upon themselves to say "I think this is in the interests of the project, and so I'm going to do it and damn the rest of you if you don't agree". The recent userbox debate is a case in point as the deletions were reversed almost immediately and stirred up considerable anger, making it more difficult for any coherent policy to be established - so it was also counterproductive. While I don't like userboxes which are used for advocacy, there is no way that I would ever go around mass-deleting them, not just because policy is unclear at present, but also because it's a discourteous thing to do. I hope you accept this as a slightly fuller explanation, but if you want to inquire further, then please feel free to do so. David | Talk 23:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I just want to state here that I do very much wish to interact with you further on this; it's just that I'm a little busy and I have a meaty explanation of my concerns that I would like to give (that you can read or ignore at your leisure). I'm out of town for the next four days, but I'll try to get back to you here after, if you're still interested. I hope I didn't give an impression that I was ignoring you. Cheers.

-- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 18:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for this, and I think you're being perfectly fair. Just wanted to give you a little reminder - no pressure, but the election has only about 30 hours to run right now. David | Talk 16:26, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate you starting the mediation process, but other than that, I haven't heard anything from you at all. Have you been paying attention to the case? -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 04:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Dear Hinotori: Firstly, my sincerest apologies for having neglected this mediation issue. I have indeed been paying attention to this case but, alas, I have been extraordinarily busy in "Real Life" (that mythical entity of the universe) and have alas not had a chance to work out the next stage etc. Please be assured that I have not forgotten about this case, however, and I will eventually get around to it (very shortly; within the next few hours if possible). Thank you very much for your patience. Best regards, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 23:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm the same Seizure_Dog on Newgrounds.

[edit] Proposed one month ban

You write: I strongly doubt that anyone, Tony included, actually sees a month ban as a just, or even useful remedy, thus my nagging concern that some other motive is at play here.

I am completely sincere in this.

Looking at an interpretation of the evidence presented by Aaron Brenneman, Nandesuka and others, my activities have been extremely disruptive and without justification over an extended period. Looking at my lack of penitence and unwillingness,after considerable period of reflection, to allow that I was wrong, then if that interpretation is correct it follows that this is an extreme case and similar behavior could well recur. Thus a ban of one month would be reasonable. And desysopping should certainly be considered.

I disagree with that interpretation, but I think that the arbitrators should consider it. They can evaluate my good faith in suggesting it (after all, they chose me as a clerk) for themselves. I would not make a proposal that I did not believe was, contingent on certain findings of fact, necessary in the best interests of Wikipedia. --Tony Sidaway 20:49, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carbonated drinks catgeory

I have no real problems with a Carbonated drinks catgeory. I don't see that it is needed, but if you want to have one that's fine. But I am not sure why you feel the need to include beer in such a category, and what it would serve. The way my mind is working right now I can see people creating categories for Dark Drinks, Light Drinks, Sweet Drinks, Dry Drinks, etc. Fine if they want to do such a thing, but if people tried to apply such categories to Beer I would see that as un-needed clutter and remove them. At the moment I see applying the Carbonated drinks category to Beer as un-needed clutter and somewhat misleading. Though I see no harm in having Draught Beer listed under Carbonation or Carbonated Drinks as that article is specifically about beer that has been carbonated. It may be worth bearing in mind that cask beer is not carbonated. And while bottle conditioned beers contain co2, they are not considered to be carbonated beers. And many lambics are served totally flat. In short - beer is not a carbonated drink, though SOME beers are carbonated. Cheers! SilkTork 08:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From Tony Sidaway's RfArb

*If he wouldn't, as you seem to be suggesting, it would show a lack of community confidence in his adminship, in which case he probably shouldn't be an admin to begin with. I'm not quite sure as to why you're directing your sarcasm at me. -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 19:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Geez, I did come off terribly snarky there. :-( I apologize, most especially to you, since I was feeling rather sarcastic toward the process as a whole, but not toward you personally in any way.

The thing is, I think a lot of admins - especially the ones who have been around the longest or been the most proactive in exercising their own discretion toward their admin tools - would almost certainly not pass a re-RfA. This comes from a number of factors, mostly that the longer you are around and the more you do, the more enemies you tend to accumulate. Also, the more active you are, the more mistakes you have a chance to make... and every mistake will be waved around in the RfA, you can be sure...

Plus, in Tony's case, obviously any re-RfA would be an enormous political battle, with most every process-is-important partisan voting against and most every encyclopedia-first IARer voting for. In the middle of all that heat and so little light, I doubt a fair determination of community support could be made. —Bunchofgrapes (talk)

A couple days ago, he had a slight disagreement with another user named Pagrashtak about the use of the ESRB being used- something about them being "decorative". Apparently after his first post, someone began using multiple AIM and Yahoo accounts to plaster [this message] at him repeatedly, crashing his IM client (and his PC in the process) and causing him to lose several hours worth of programming assignment work. He assumed it was Pagrashtak and an argument ensued, but Pagrashtak let him know (after a heated argument that went on for a while) that it actually wasn't him who had attacked him. So now you know what's been going on, and why he left. The Eye 02:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

• You've marked this article as NPOV. Could you please point out examples of how it is POV? Just slapping on a NPOV tag isn't very helpful. If you don't explain why, the tag will be removed. Thanks! Wickethewok 07:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I know. I know. I just don't have time to really work on it tonight. Mainly, it makes a lot of statements that I feel aren't particularly justifiable, e.g. "dominance of the dance floor." Is the article implying dominance over competitors? Over the whole scene? In whose eyes? Words like "classics" and "masterpiece" seem highly subjective, without any citations that would seem necessary for such claims. I can't make any pretense of knowing much about the label, or even dance music in general, but a casual read-through seemed pretty overly laudatory, especially for an encyclopedia entry. If you like, we can discuss it on the talk page tomorrow. I'm currently kind of on Wiki-break, which is why I put the tag up to hopefully let someone else take care of it. But if you want me to address it personally, I can. -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 08:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

• Heh, okay, I'll tweak the language, or at least provide citations stating that certain notable individuals regard it in a certain manner. Cheers n all that. Wickethewok 08:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

That would be great. Thanks. :) -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 08:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NextGen NPOV edit

I created the article Next Generation Magazine back when I was still new to writing wikipedia articles. Looking back, it definitely was a strong POV. I was a big fan of the magazine. The rewrite you did was excellent; it kept all the important information while removing some of the pro-Next Gen wording. Good job. --Mitaphane 00:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Don't encourage him. Anon, we have other wikis specifically for edits like this. If you want to check one out, have a look at Uncyclopedia; it's chock full of fun stuff. Wikipedia, however, is for factual information. ANY vandalism here, even amusing or creative vandalism, is a waste of other users' time and energy and hurts the project. Since you seem like a decent writer, why not try your hand at writing some constructive, neutral, informative articles? I'm sure you'll find it rewarding. -- Hinotori^{(talk)|(ctrb)} 03:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if I took long to reply. For the life of me, I don't even remember what the nonsense was that the whathisname wrote that I was commenting on (i.e. sarcasim). Thank you for the infor about that other site -- it should be amusing. Also, thank-you for the vote of confidence -- it's apreciated. -- Jason Palpatine 05:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC) (speak your mind | contributions)
