[edit] Good article candidacy review etiquette

It took me a bit of work, but I've been able to determine that on July 28, you failed tone cluster, which I had nominated for good article status. What you also failed to do was follow proper procedure. As is clearly stated, when returning a negative judgment, "Please leave a reason on the article's talk page." You didn't do that—indeed, you failed even to perform the courtesy of step 2 in the procedure, noting your judment with the appropriate tag—but I think I understand why. You went on quite a spree that day—failing six good article nominees in under an hour: in addition to "tone cluster," you struck down Duncan Shepherd, Amy Lee, Trobairitz, Daler Mehndi, and Gourd Dance in a span of 56 minutes. Impressive. I appreciate that in all the hurly-burly, you forgot to record in what way "tone cluster" fell short of your good article standards. Would you be kind enough to clue me in now? (If your answer has anything to do with the fact that some of the referenced books don't currently have the ISBN numbers you seem to feel are mandatory, you should know that the proper thing to do in that case is to put the nomination on hold with an explanation. If you have a problem with the reference style as a whole, please take a look at another, related article I am largely responsible for: Henry Cowell. This article, which uses the same reference style [and has not been ISBNed up], has been officially rated as A-Class.) Best regards, Dan—DCGeist 19:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Need help

If people see that you are a committed and helpful Wikipedia, they will generally come to trust you. Getting to know Wikipedians on IRC can also help. -- Where 15:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Late reply

Still ill, but managed to struggle to my PC.

Thanks for your support and nomination, even though it probably won't pass this time!

[edit] RfA

It's not live per my discussion with buchanon. I think I'll formally decline tonight. alphaChimp ^laudare 20:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I should ammend that comment. It's not live because we've decided to hold off the date. I have not yet had an opportunity to add my answers to the questions (nor to draft them). I'm not going to decline, I just want to wait a little bit longer. Oh, and I'm also waiting for some conoms that are still being written. I hope that makes things a little clearer. alphaChimp ^laudare 20:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

		The Resilient Barnstar
		This Resilient Barnstar is awarded to Minun, a Wikipedian who repents of Wikicrimes of the past, growing in a positive way. Gray Porpoise 23:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advice

It's unfortunate that the arbitrators aren't noticing you've stopped. My advice would be to make plenty of good faith edits and demonstrate civility towards HighwayCello. You can start by leaving an olive branch and an apology on his/her talk page. Also, remember that both parties can comment on the RFAR. I'm not you and you're not me, but if I were in this situation, I would attempt to make a promise on the arbitration's "proposed decisions" or talk page, stating that no blocks/bans are necessary, and that you'll permanently stop incivility and sockpuppetry, and that if this promise is broken, you'll accept an extremely, longer-than-proposed, block/ban without further dispute. You're in control of your actions, but that's what I recommend. --Gray Porpoise 13:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop

Do not give me anymore barnstars, I am not talking to the arbitrators. Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 14:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

To Minun: Bribery is not the best way to go.

To HighwayCello: Keep a cool head, and look at Minun's good contributions instead of just his bad. --Gray Porpoise 17:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

I noticed you asking somewhere how to get into the other editors good books again. One suggestion I would make would be to not use graphical images to indicate positive or negative votes in AfDs. They tend to annoy people. If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to ask. Viridae^Talk 13:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aeon is back

Hey there Minun! I'm back! Æon ^{Insane Ward} 16:42, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

You ok? Æon ^{Insane Ward} 18:30, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Tell me the whole prob. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 18:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok Minun, first give me a link to any relivent page. And Second I'm glad that you admitted it. I can't make any promises on this but I will see what I can do. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 18:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok I reviewed the ArbCom case on you. I posted my comments but it may be to late. I'm sorry man there is not much I can do Æon ^{Insane Ward} 19:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

ok just remember if you do get blocked (and from what I can see it will be at least 6 months) don't try to use a sockpuppet(or Anon account) to get around it. six months may seem like a long time but it will be over before you know it. Learn from waht happend and when your back be ready to edit the Wiki again. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 19:14, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For you

		The Resilient Barnstar

[edit] Yay, thanks!

Thank you. What for exactly? I was actually thinking yesterday that I'm not making any really productive edits on the main space anymore, so I was surprised to get an award. Not to say I don't want it. I'm actually trying to decide where to start editing more though. I need to stop spending time debating on the anarchism talk pages since edits rarely happen there. Anyways, thanks. Ungovernable Force^{The Wiki Kitchen!} 04:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Iloveminun

Just to letyou know that Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Iloveminun has just closed. check the link for details. -- Drini 03:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

{{Unblock|I stopped doing these things about two and a half (possibly three) weeks ago. Please read a couple of comments made at [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Iloveminun]], [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Iloveminun/Proposed decision]] and [[Wikipedia:Editor review/Minun]]. I am also appealing my ban for the reason given.}}

Unblock request denied; requests to appeal an ArbCom-imposed ban need to go through other channels. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the notice, what is the next process to appeal a ban? —Minun ^{Spiderman • Review Me} 15:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Feel free to appeal your ban via email to Jimbo Wales; I believe that's your only recourse. I don't think the argument that you stopped misbehaving once the Arbcom case was halfway through is going to appeal to anyone, however. However, no administrator will undo a block based on an Arbcom decision, so I'm removing your request. Your 1 year block is based on your 1 year ban: 6 months for attempting to destroy evidence, 3 months for personal attacks, 2 months for sockpuppetry, and 1 month for moving another user's page. The bans are to serve consecutively, as the Arbcom decision states. Since your ban is a general ban, the block is appropriate to enforce the ban. Mangojuice^talk 15:15, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

This doesn't mean that you can't view Wikipedia; only from editing them. You can still read articles, read Signposts, but you can't edit. --Bigtop 20:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I want to edit Wikipedia —Minun ^{Spiderman • Review Me} 10:46, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WIkipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Re: your private email

It's pointless for you to appeal by me via private email. I'm not the one taking the decisions, and I?m not the one callign the shots. Face the responsability of your actions. You hsouldn't have let things escalate so much, and now ArbCom has given a veredit. Nothing more to do, nothing more to see. Move on. -- Drini 17:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Charizard toy.jpg)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Charizard toy.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BigDT 22:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I left a question re your GA assessment at Talk:Gram Parsons. Take care! ~ trialsanderrors 17:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catullus

I don't understand why you deleted the entire "See also" list in the Catullus article. It seemed like an excellent place to identify numbered poems with familiar names. You cite WP:VPA, which recently recommended this usage precisely. I would advocate restoring the list. JMatthews 05:08, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked?

Hey Minun, I came here to ask a question, but I found that you were blocked, I myself, am under attack for the accusation that I am a sockpuppet/sockmaster. I am not. If you say that you are not; I belive you. If you are, I know that you are a friendly, nice, hard working productive person and I think it is terrible that Wikipedia puts such little value on good editors such as yourself.

I still can't belive this has happened. Dfrg.msc 07:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Message sent to arbitrations

Hello, im using the e-mail this user feature and i'd like to appeal my ban:

The arbitration case was based on past behavior that I don't engage in now. My username is Minun on Wikipedia.

If you need proof i've stopped doing these things, i'd be happy to send it to you

—Minun ^{Spiderman • Review Me} 14:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

One of them told me to discuss the matter with thr arrbitrators, so I shall, another told me to wait and think about the matter, i'll go with both replies (I've still got some to come) —Minun ^{Spiderman • Review Me} 10:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

For the final time, if you want to appeal the ban then you need to contact ARBCOM and ask them to review it. No one can overrule the arbcom ruling, so posting unblock templates here is nothing but disruptive and will lead to the protection of this page. --pgk 12:07, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I have notified VandalProof of your ban. Due to those circumstances, it is highly likely that you will lose VandalProof privileges.

I remember seeing you here during my first days on Wikipedia. You were new then, and needed some help on how to edit Wikipedia, but you learned. I am surprised about what you did, which led to your block.

When you are unblocked next year, I hope you will return to edit Wikipedia. Nwwaew(My talk page) 01:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
