Masssiveego RFA requirements

Hello Masssiveego. I have come here to address you on your questions regarding RFA's. A couple of things...

1) These questions do not have to be answered withen 24 hours regardless if the user is on Wikipedia or not.

Nobody is forced to answer the questions. I automatically oppose regardless of qualifications if the user if they do not answer in 24 hours. I find it rude if an user refuses to answer in the time limit. WP:Civil. Masssiveego 18:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

2) These questions should be opinion questions like:

"What do you plan to do..."

type-questions, not right or wrong questions like

"Are copyright claims legal threats?"

The above question demonstrates knowledge in policy. Masssiveego 18:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

In conclusion, please give editors time to respond to your questions and ask more opinionated questions please. Moe Epsilon 16:50, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Would like to give more time, manners dictate returning messages promptly. 24 hours is more then enough time for a user to notice, and respond. Opinionated questions rarely demonstrate what the user knows about policy. Masssiveego 18:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

It's a question do they know how to really use Wikipedia resources? If a person just once a day checks the "my watchlist"

when they login, they would have noticed something changed in the RFA. I test to see if they know, or have the ability to research. For instance, the [Mike Murdock] page, it was A7 without a hint of research. I want to bring up where I think the user is weakest, or wrong at, and either have the problem corrected or oppose if they are obviously incapable of handling the questions. Masssiveego 19:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for adding cleanup-date instead of my cleanups. I'll remember to use that tag next time. --Mboverload 23:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism from WoodDaver

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my pages from SlickK, an apparent sockpuppet of WoodDaver. Sir Isaac Lime 23:32, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I reverted Dalip Singh to his real name

Since it hasn't been posted on WWE.com and SD! hasn't aired yet in the US (to keep to the Title Holder Standard). Wouldn't be simple to make the rule on spoilers to just post whats been posted on WWE.com for WWE and TNA.com for TNA etc. So we eliminate any USA POV from Wikipedia on Wrestling? BionicWilliam 23:52, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Many thanks for your support on my recent RfA. It was successful. Thanks again, Mark83 10:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for supporting me in my RfA. I really didn't think people appreciate my work here that much, but it's nice to see you do: my Request was closed with 66 supports and 4 opposes. I'll do my best not to turn your confidence down. If in any point in the future you get the feeling I'm doing something wrong, do not hesitate to drop me a line. --Dijxtra 11:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Jonathan Paul Taylor

I reverted this cricketer back to the name by which he was known as a player, which is Paul Taylor. Here's the reference from the fount of rather a lot of the cricket wisdom in the Cricket Project pages, and Wisden Cricketers' Almanack agrees. Johnlp 21:21, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Lado Enclave

Hey Moe. You put a clean up note on Lado Enclave. I removed the guff and returned the page to basically what it was when I first created it. When I wrote the article about two years ago, little did i know that it would be a target of the WRITE IN CAPS POV loopers (if you haven't already checked out the Lad Enclave talk page history, that will give you a good idea). Please check out the page and see whether you feel the clean up note can be removed. Cheers. --Roisterer 14:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Templates Cleanup and Attention

I saw your proposed merger on the talk page of Template:Cleanup. I think thats a great suggestion. The attention template is sort of redundent to the cleanup template anyways. Another merge I am suggesting is Template:Cleanup and Template:Cleanup-date. Cleanup-date is much better IMHO because it categorizes it by month. What do think of that possible merge? Moe 01:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, some people use Template:Cleanup without adding the date, and ideally they should be able to continue to do so. It's a well-known tag, and easy for lazy but observant people to add. We do have a bot, Pearle, which converts all cleanup tags to cleanup-date tags, on a daily basis. If these templates were actually merged, we'd need the result to have an optional date parameter, which would make its wikicode somewhat complicated. (But I've done that with some other templates.) A merger would also make it a bit harder for Pearle to do the conversion. -- Beland 14:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Your edits

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and 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. Moe 17:08, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm just a lazy long-time editor (at some point I was in the top 1000 of editors...) It wasn't actually a test, I am seriously in doubt that Burroughs is gay. So I don't see why it was reverted... Or is it not done any more to leave comments in the article? In which case you had better moved it to the discussion page, in order to not put off newcomers...

Attention -> cleanup-date

Yup, attention is now merged with cleanup. Pearle is currently converting attention tags to cleanup-date, so there's no need to do that manually. (Except for tags which are located on talk pages, which she skips.) -- Beland 15:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Does Pearle replace it with the date it was actually tagged? Moe Epsilon 15:52, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes. The history is examined month-by-month. -- Beland 15:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks..

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage :) and sorry to have overwritten your warning about userpage blanking - Pseudomonas 17:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, thanks for reverting my Talk page. I appreciate it. I do feel honored though to be the subject of vandalism...makes me feel important. Thanks again, Chcknwnm 19:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism Thanks

Thanks for being so quick to catch vandalism on the Duke University page. Hopefully moving the discussion to a new article will help. Anagrammarian 19:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Oops..

Sorry for reverting your edit to a vandalized version on the Randy Orton article -- I wasn't quick enough. Thanks for fixing the vandalism there. 24.224.153.40 02:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Curps got 'im

Curps blocked Bloop1 indef. NSLE 02:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

The Miz

I know that The Miz is going to SmackDown!, but I feel putting him under inactive is incorrect since he is still wrestling down in OVW. If he had already debuted for the brand and hadn't been seen in a while, like Johnny Parisi, I could see him under inactive, but he hasn't made his debut yet and is still active in OVW, so I feel he should be moved back to the OVW roster. --JFred 06:00, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

And I see where your coming from. I guess we should have some kind of standard for this issue. I know others (Trinity and Angel Williams come to mind) have been moved up with no official mention of the move by WWE. I guess with the Miz's case, we can move him up because of the TV vignettes he's in for SmackDown!. So in this case I'll keep him under SD! Inactive. With anyone else, though, we shouldn't move them up until confirmed by WWE either on TV or on the website. --JFred 19:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Solar eclipse of 2006 March 29

Hello,

I have undone your page move of Solar eclipse of 2006, as all the other articles about eclipses follow this same convention. Please do not move it again.

Happy Easter!

Please put all tasty Easter wishes here!

They were laid by a chocolate bunny. Go on, take them! :P Master of Puppets 04:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)	Happy Easter! These special Easter eggs were laid just for you by an evil bunny! nathanrdotcom 06:04, 16 April 2006 (UTC)	Look, an evil bunny! :D Happy Easter, Moe Epsilon! Sango123 14:04, 16 April 2006 (UTC)	BionicWilliam is here to say Happy Easter! -- BionicWilliam 19:17, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Well you seem to be doing fine for bunnies and chocolate eggs, so have a couple of pretty eggs for for the shelf. --Wiki alf 16 April 2006 (UTC)	Happy Easter to you too! Canderson7 21:01, 16 April 2006 (UTC)	These little bunnies were not taken yet so they have come to wish you a very happy easter. DakotaKahn	Happy Easter to you as well!! Prsgoddess187

Happy Easter! :D Master of Puppets 04:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Is there ever a place where you don't insert a Simpsons reference? :P Master of Puppets 04:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Everyone else seems to have stolen all the good Easter pictures and stuff, but I wish you a Happy Easter all the same. FireFox 18:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Just make sure not to get hit by User:Bunny in Basket or something. -Mysekurity 18:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Happy easter Moe. I tried to put 2 bunnies on the page but it messed with the comment section. They are in history anyway.--DakotaKahn 22:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for re-adding them and again happy easter. It was forcing the comment section into the gallery.--DakotaKahn 22:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Easter wishes. Good to see that you are doing a little better. Have a great holiday. Prsgoddess187 23:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Happy Easter to you, too! Sorry about the late reply. Evan Robidoux 23:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Mε! Happy Easter to you too! — Knowledge Seeker 01:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Moe! A happy and safe Easter to you as well. Sarah Ewart 02:12, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Happy Easter Moe and thanks for the bunny! --Anonymous editor 05:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Happy Easter to you as well! Thanks for the bunny, have a great holiday. P. S.: Sorry for the late reply, but there's Easter Monday as well. :) --Terence Ong 09:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Many thanks for your support of my RFA, which passed narrowly. I will try to be worthy of your trust. I especially appreciated your advice about fleshing out my statement and about not responding to opposition. Your prediction that bad-faith responses would be addressed was correct, and your advice stopped me from screwing it up badly. Regards, Kaisershatner 20:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Master Jay's RfA

Hi David. Thank you for your support in my recent RfA. If you have any concerns, leave me a message here. Regards, Master Jay 01:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Bob Orton, Jr.

Didn't Bob Orton, Jr. have a Legends contract that was seperate from his on-air contract? I had heard that the only contract he was released from was his on-air contract, not the Legends one. --JFred 22:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

But when he was released, the news wires were only saying it was from his on-air contract and that he was still under the Legends contract. And I'm figuring from the structure of the Legends contracts, Vince wouldn't want to terminate any of them. --JFred 22:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Bruiser Brody

Eventhough the Legends contract was signed by his wife (since he's deceased), the contract is for Brody's name and likeness and whatever else is apart of those contracts. Also, eventhough a dead person cannot sign a contract, the controller of that person's estate, in this case his wife, can enter into a contract if a company wants to use that person's name and likeness, in this case WWE. --JFred 22:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it's his estate that's under the contract, his wife just happens to control the estate. --JFred 22:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I'll accept that wording. The important thing is that Bruiser Brody himself is mentioned. --JFred 23:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

A tiny favour.

Hi there Moe, I hope I'm not bothering you too much; I was just wondering, if you have any spare time in your busy schedule, could you look at the Editor review page and try to maybe review me? I'm trying to find out how I can improve and how I'm viewed on Wikipedia. Much thanks! Moe Epsilon 04:33, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry 'bout that, Mirlen Moe. Master of Puppets 04:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words! I must admit, the concept of an RFA excites me; however, nobody will vote Support just because they like me. As you said, I think I'll wait at least 'til July or thereabouts. Moe Epsilon 04:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

not that i don't like bunnies on my talk page

but i'm buddhist. Avriette 05:08, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back!

Welcome back from your Wikibreak! — nathanrdotcom 21:51, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Um, yeah...me, too....because that's why I'm so late in saying THANKS for the bunny...cuteness! Hope your Easter was lovely...--ViolinGirl 18:42, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Banwari Trace -> Banwari Trace, Trinidad and Tobago

I was wondering why you moved this article. As long as there is no other usage, why should the article be at the longer name? While this is the convention for American places, last I checked it wasn't the naming convention for articles. Guettarda 06:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

The shortest name is preferred, unless there is a different standard applied for a specific country. The American naming convention is an exception to the general rule, although it is by no means unique. Guettarda 22:00, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Your message

I'm seriously considering it. If there's another ethnic-related slam on either side, I will restart the RfA and inform those who voted without resorting to ethnic POV. Linuxbeak 01:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Favour

Hi, it's me, Evan. Could you do me a favor and go to the editor review page and review me? I've been wondering what people have been thinking about me and what I do here. Thanks! Evan Robidoux 04:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Evan Robidoux 04:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note

Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Celestianpower 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Non-English redirects

I noticed you created the 社会民主党 page, which has been speedied. Actually, just got deleted as I typed this. And recreated. Now deleted again! :) Can you explain why the need to provide a non-English redirect? Thought I'd ask before deleting, as I recognize your name. Thanks. Turnstep 23:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

(reply) Fair enough. I'll not delete anymore, as they are mostly harmless, but I lean towards not creating them unless there is an obvious need, as we could easily add hundreds of thousands of redirects that nobody might ever use. Turnstep 23:19, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Do you have to get permission to create userboxes? Evan Robidoux 23:11, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Professional wrestling in Australia

Can you nominate this page for deletion since it not encyclopedic BionicWilliam 04:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I am unsure of what you mean by "meet Wikipedia standards". Yes, some things such as the upcoming PPV schedule can probably be removed but if anything I think the pages about other countries should be brought up to scratch with this article. If you need any help with this article drop me a line, I'm basically taking care of this page as best I can. Normy132 11:09, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the credit, much appreciated. I'll fix as much of this up now as I can.

Moe, don't mean to keep on your back about this but is the upcoming PPVs section really needed? unregistered users keep adding it in but I don't feel it is nessacary seeing as the PPV dates are already listed elsewhere. Normy132 00:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

RE: OVW roster

IT'S NOT VANDALISM. Do you even follow OVW? Da Beast is now going by his real name for two weeks now on OVW TV, Beast and Tytus are no longer teaming, same with Seth and Chet, Boris Kolov is now on OVW TV as Boris Alexiev, Venus is no longer around, so her and Serena are no longer a team, and I removed a bunch of other names because they haven't wrestled in OVW for a long while - including house shows. I also added those couple of names because they've been around a bit and have appeared on OVW TV. I monitor the OVW community over on LiveJournal, where house show and TV taping results are posted regularly, so if you don't agree with a change I make to the OVW roster, ask me before you blindly revert my changes. --JFred 23:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

WWE Alumni page

I noticed that you list Brian Adams as also being known as Adam Bomb. Actually, Bryan Clarke wrestled as Adam Bomb, and Brian Adams wrestled as Crush. --JFred 20:42, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Already made the changes for you, also added Aldo Montoya with Justin Credible for Peter Polaco. --JFred 21:04, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know, Brian Lee was last known as Chainz in WWE and was part of DOA. This happened after he was the Evil Undertaker. I'd make the change, but I don't know when he was released after his stint as Chainz. --JFred 02:44, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Barbara Goodish

I don't think it's a good idea to add the linking ability to Barbara Goodish's name as it only invites people to create an article, of which she is not noteworthy enough for. We could, however, link her name to her husband's page. --JFred 20:48, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I see your point. --JFred 21:04, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Edits

I was "justifying my vote." --VKokielov 01:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Drop the quotation marks. You might as well spit straight in the face. Now what I said isn't an opinion. It ought to be there on the wall, where it belongs. --VKokielov 01:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Don't believe me? You don't think that the Croatian bureaucrats who voted against him will leave if he becomes administrator? --VKokielov 01:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Babble. User:VKokielov/Babble You have paid the Jews, the Russians, the Serbs, and the Croats a great compliment. Meanwhile, I've already explained that I am an amateur.

Deleting others' comments is vandalism, no? --VKokielov 22:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Just another RFA thank you note

Dear Moe E, I appreciate your vote and your kind words in my RFA. It has passed with an unexpected 114/2/2 and I feel honored by this show of confidence in me. Cheers! ←Humus sapiens 03:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

And another

Thank you for voting at my RFA. Even though you did not vote for me, your counsel was appreciated. In the next few months, I intend to work on expanding my involvement in other namespaces and try a few different subjects than in the past. - CTSWyneken

Apologies and thanks

I would like to say thanks for your comments on a lot of talk pages, plus your cleanup of most of the wrestling section. Once again, sorry for doing a few WWE alumnis, I stopped once reading your message. I added a redirect, WWE Alumni - I hope you don't mind. So, once again, thanks and apologies Kingfisherswift 16:52, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Don't be sorry

I guess it was the nomination, kinda came out of the blue. Master of Puppets

Yeah, but as you say, its not like its the end of the world :) Maybe somewhere after July, when I turn 15 (some of the opposes were on the grounds that I'm not mature enough >_< Master of Puppets 22:19, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Note Bene

Please also notice that I was told you can't remove your own name from the list of vandals once it's been added. Love, --VKokielov 23:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear Moe Epsilon

But you have it all upside down.

In the eidt war which we were conducting, both of us were guilty, and both should have been blocked.

Now the nice people in #wikipedia-en saw through it earlier today. They'll see through it when I bring it up with them next time.

Yours sincerely, Your estranged, --VKokielov 23:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC) et al.

HRE's RfA

Hi Moe. VKokielov has agreed to draw a line under this episode, but has requested that you remove one of your edits to HRE's RfA (please see my talk page for details). I wonder if you would be prepared to do this, simply as a gesture of good faith to end this dispute? Cheers TigerShark 23:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

When you remove the comment

When you remove the comment, remove the one I added under it too. I will, anyway, but you can, if you want to. --VKokielov 00:09, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hi there, Moe. I respect your vote on my RfA page, but I'd like to invite you to reconsider it in the light of MasterofPuppets asking me for an explanation on the HRE debacle and, after my response, subsequently changing his vote to neutral. As your votes were almost identical, I thought it a good idea to ask you to read through my response. Werdna648 01:06, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
