Don't go. Please. Take a break. You deserve it. But don't go permanently. We need you. Bushytail's Rfa upset me too. Things will get better. Trust me.--Sean|Black 00:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Enviroknot

Phroziac, why did you unblock Enviroknot? SlimVirgin ^(talk) 04:19, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

It's definitely Enviroknot, and he's banned. He's been causing a bit of trouble today using a number of IP addresses, and this one's his home address, and I think it's semi-static, so should be safe to block for longer periods. Must be a full moon or something. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 05:25, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Log 2:

<Jtkiefer> Adam1213 has been added to the autorem list on the channel due to the fact that he started bugging me on my talk page again about the access level, I have informed him and Redwolf24 as well as Titoxd agree that he should not be removed anytime soon but will be removed eventually, where eventually is going to be a long time but not never

---

I think there is a level of over reaction from all parties, I think a director involvement is necesary to resolve the issue.

I also think its approporate for only directors to get auto remove access. Everyone, including myself should not have this kind of power. To evade any incident of this nature. But thats just my opinion, I do not know what other directors think.

Thats all I got fot now. --Cool Cat ^Talk 10:15, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question

With JoanneB's RFA this was for short time advertised in the topic on #wikipedia-en-vandalism, after a brief discussion with her as she was uncomfotable with it, I removed it. I've been uncomfortable with these sort of ads for a while, since they seem to be suggesting some sort of official endorsement from CVU which seems inappropriate (even if as individuals we all endorse the candidate), and I'm sure at some point someone will use it as a reason to oppose. So I thought I'd ask the directors see if they had a view. Thanks --pgk^(talk) 13:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The rollback button

Hi Phroziac. I came to bug you with a particular peeve of mine. And that is the following: the admins should only use the rollback button against vandals, and nobody else.

I can see that in this revert you reverted against yourself, but if you check yourself the diff, you will see that it is utterly confusing to anybody else what the heck you are doing in there. A proper revert, with an edit summary would have clarified what you have in mind. And no, looking at the page history does not clarify what you are up to. All I see is "+yelyos" followed by "OOOPS" (I might have gotten the number of O's wrong though).

Anyway, using rollback button in this way does not provide a good example to follow (especially that many admin-wishers would like to become admin for the sake of the rollback button). You can reply here if you have a comment, I will keep this page on my watchlist. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:27, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

You have a good point, and i'll stop using it for self reverts. I agree with you mostly, but i've used it several times for self reverts. If you were wondering, I transcluded that rfa before the nominee accepted, and reverted it. And initially i accidently transcluded a year old version of it. --Phroziac^(talk) 01:50, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pigsonthewing Arbitration case injunctions

Two temporary injunctions have been made in the Arbitration case involving Pigsonthewing, which will hold until the conclusion of the Arbitration. Firstly, he is banned from editing any page in Karmafist's user space (but not user talk space); any sysop may block him for a short time, up to three days, for any edit violating this injunction, and all such edits may be reverted by any editor without regard to the limitations of the three revert rule. Secondly, due to repeated personal attacks, he is subject to a standard personal attack parole: any administrator may ban him for a short time, up to three days, for any edit which, in the opinion of that administrator, constitutes a personal attack.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 20:09, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

I have made no personal attacks. Andy Mabbett 16:25, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Andy, I don't think this is the right place to discuss it. Try Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Pigsonthewing/Proposed decision if you want the others to notice it.

Oh. Well, I kinda agree with was James said on your talk page. --Phroziac _. o º ^{O (mmmmm chocolate!)} 14:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Global Deejays Article Deletion

Hello. I saw you have just deleted the Global Deejays article stub. What do you think of restoring that stub and putting a mark asking for contribuiton, expanding, etc? So that a good soul who knows about Global Deejays would see that that article is in need of contribution and could donate time and knowledge to it. What do you think? Please answer me. Bye bye —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alberto msr (talk • contribs) 22:08, November 26, 2005.

Actually, the article is "Global deejays", with a lowercase D. I didn't know Wikipedia article names are case-sensitive. In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Undelete/Global_deejays it's the current version of the article. --Alberto msr 00:07, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes you are right. Even though Global Deejays is a very famous music band and that page would not fix in the "vanity" category, it does look like a vanity page. I will gather more information and write a full article when I have the time, insteading of reverting the undeletion right now. Thanks for your advice--Alberto msr 01:44, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

They are very famous in the UK and Brazil. I think in other european countries too, since they are from Europe. They play electronic music. Actually if you go to a night club in Brazil or UK the odds of not listening to their songs are very low. Listen to it sometime, you may like them :-) --Alberto msr 02:21, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Zen-master block

Hi, Phrozaic, thanks for your comments. As I've made clear, I didn't block him for his 3RR violations, but rather for his personal attacks. I think it's pretty obvious that repeatedly calling various editors "POV bots" and a "POV bot gang" is a violation of WP:NPA. I warned him beforehand, and subsequently announced the block on WP:AN/I#Zen-master blocked for personal attacks. Notably, no-one there objected to the block.

[edit] My RfB

Thanks for being so understanding of my situation. Although you cancelled your vote because of my immaturity at the time, I do not believe my immaturity justified my conduct. As an admin, the community should expect better from me. This is why over the past year, there have been no repeats of such conduct (which were triggered by strenuous circumstances — not that they justify my actions); if these actions were anything other than isolated misdemeanours, you'd have been able to dig up more dirt on me. ;-) Again, thanks for your understanding.

The editor appears to be the banned User:Enviroknot, and is using IP ranges and TOR proxies to both make personal attacks on other editors and revert the page multiple times. I'm not sure why you unblocked, though; I would be skeptical of any claims of innocence by "uninvolved" editors in the range, as this editor has made up new persona and lied about this many times. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:45, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Well even Jayjg mostly agrees. But anyways even if you don't think it's him, the user was still on a simple 3rr ban for making attacks/vandalism. So he/she can be reverted for that reason. BTW, no one else is complaining. He was the only user there that was adding the controversial info. Thanks --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 22:37, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

or is it permanent until you feel like turning it off? r b-j 71.161.209.24 17:57, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

> I did look at the editing history. When I talked to Rchamberlain on IRC (where he pointed it out to me), I also told him he should not blank the talk page, and pointed him to a few policy pages.

but you didn't block him, did you?

> Neither of you were in the right. I am not endorsing his behaviour.

you did endorse it if you blocked only me. that is undeniable. particularly since you summarily blocked my account.

> Normally, in an edit war, I would treat both sides equally. But, I do not agree with blocking users for reverting their own user and user talk pages.

he was not just reverting it, he was blanking it. the message he was sending was clear and decidedly uncivil. he was blowing my concerns off saying, in effect, that "i don't give a rat's ass what you think." i was only after repeatedly reverting the page myself, to leave my civil message of concern, that he gave any indication that he has heard me. and that indication was decidedly uncivil.

> What would you have done if he was doing what you did, on your userpage?

i would have had at least the minimum courtesy of answering him. i would have engaged in a discussion with someone came to my talk page with a complaint. your rhetorical point holds no water.

> Who would you want to be blocked?

you don't get it. i was not vandalizing his talk page. one can make a case he was vandalizing his own page (that is not impossible) and he was certainly the uncivil person in his initial behavior.

you were and are wrong. the clearly wrongful action on your part was blocking me with no prior nor contemporaneous contact - no asking me what's going on nor even a warning if you felt you were so correct in assessing a violation on my part. blocking a WP editor without a clear reason of bad faith or violation of policy (as opposed to guideline) is itself an uncivil action. please try to do better next time. r b-j 20:28, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I really appreciate your comments in this discussion. However, I believe we've reached an impasse and further discussion would only contribute to our respective Wikistress levels. Let's agree to disagree and turn our attention to improving Wikipedia in other ways. Cheers! --Phroziac _. o º ^{O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!)} 20:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

it's a convenient (i.e. self-serving) position to take after unilaterally increasing my wikistress, when, in fact you have not justified your action or, using other words, responded to my main complaint of blocking me unilaterally "for edit warring" (it takes two, at least) without contact me in advance about what was going on (so you could get another or "the other" POV of the problem). that is inexcusable. not unforgivable, just without excuse for an admin. it is convenient for you, in a position of power over me, after unilaterally acting to "harm" (by blocking) my being here at WP, to conveniently say "Let's agree to disagree and turn our attention to [something else]." i'll try to remember that evasive technique next time i harm someone in some way so i won't have to either think introspectively about it, make amends, or change something. r b-j 23:47, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Copy/paste

Hi. Thanks for reverting vandalism. In the future, you should not move pages by copying/pasting them. This hides the page history, and administrator intervention is required to fix it. You should move pages by clicking the "move" tab on the top, near the "edit this page" button. If your account is too new to be able to move pages, just let someone else do it. I have fixed the move. :) --Phroziac _. o º ^{O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!)} 18:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I moved the others properly once I realized what happened, but I was editing that page at the time and I got an edit conflict with the redirect link. Apparently the move meant I was editing a different page (history wise)... or something. Anyway, I just saved over it, which is how it ended up being temporarily impossible to move it back the normal way. Sorry, and thanks! Jibbajabba 21:09, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I posted an article which was summarily deleted as an advertisement. this article is a technical article about a novel use of nomex, on which, i have a patent pending. the novel use was turned into a product called the cool touch oven rack guard. it is a first of its kind product. the deletionist's contention that it is an advertisement is bogus if you compare it to a wikipedia acceptable article for "Roomba". if roomba is not advertisement, then "Cool Touch". isn't either. alternatively delete roomba and all such articles/adverts.

during my discussion with the deletionists, the history was: 1). delete because advert 2). my edit to remove name of product and link to manufacturer's webpage 3). told article must have ind. ver. and notable sources 4). included links to 3 i,v,n sources 5). deletionist then focuses on "must be nationally know" 6). i see that my discussion with him will lead to an infinite process, of obfuscation. so i am now asking for mediation.

i dont know if you can access the history on this, if not i will try to supply the various items i refer to.

to answer the question of "nationally known". here is a link to a video article on Cool Touch shown on HGTV, Scripts Media Company, which is a certainly nationally known news and information company. (i have put the "page on my Ftp space for safe keeping) http://members.aol.com/bshul/hgtv.html I hope you will straighten this whole thing out. I am hopeful that i will be able to post the my article with the product name and the link to the manufacturers website. I'm not telling you how to answer my request, but please include in your answer, comment on my Roomba contention. thanks burt 845 298 4229
