Given the insanity from Mytwocents I would have to say there are some users who, contrary to oldwindybear's note, are not welcome here. And given my schedule, summer job, and a life, I doubt I will be here much. My experience with wikipedia has not proven to be very appealing - to be accused of being someone else? Thanks, but no thanks.Max 12:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please stick around

Don't let conflicts with one editor have you distrust the rest of us! If you're going to be busy that's ok (Wikipedia doesn't pay well... or at all for that matter), but trying to improve the vast body of knowledge freely available to all is a noble cause worthy of respect (even though we get in lots of fights around here). Feel free to drop me a note on my talk page. I do hope you change your mind. --Charlie(@CIRL | talk) 16:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Oldwindybear

Hello Stillstudying, I am one of the admins regarding the case. I can say that it has been returned inconclusive, so neither you or Oldwindybear will be blocked. A request for checkuser was discussed between me and Dijxtra, and decided not to go ahead with it. If you need further help, do not hesitate to contact me or Dijxtra.

[edit] Sock Puppet Charge - Goodbye

ilo-Lima|(talk)

I will not be editing on wikipedia any further, since the investigation was inconclusive. In my case, I am a recent editor, and my experience has been unfailing negative, with a crude personal attack, which was not, and please don't take this as personal, resolved sucessfully. Everywhere I edit, the editor who attacked me will just claim another sock puppet. Frankly, oldwindybear appears to love this site, and I will leave rather than have any suspicion that I am a puppet. I do protest, and again, please do not take this personally, that this was not resolved with a check of internet addresses, so that I could remain without doing so in a way that would interfere with the work of an established editor.

[edit] A final plea to stick around

Hey Max... I'm sorry to hear that it seems you've made up your mind. By inconclusive I think what kilo-lima is saying is that your accuser failed to put forth sufficient evidence to even warrant the use of Check User (as it's extremely obvious that from your posts and contribution history alone you and oldwindybear are not sockpuppet/sockpuppeteer). Checking IPs is usually only done only as the final stage of a sockpuppet investigation because it raises huge privacy concerns. It may interest you, that old windy bear has requested mediation for the actions of my two cents Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation#Request_for_Mediation_on_actions_of_user_Mytwocents and I'm sure he'd be saddened by your departure as well. Best of luck --Charlie(@CIRL | talk) 15:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Charlie(@CIRL | talk)
Thank you, and your kind message may convince me to stick around. I myself could not understand how anyone could possibly believe I was oldwindybear, who, no offense, because I like his work, never said anything in less than forty-two paragraphs, while my edits are brief and to the point. Again, thanks, and yes, I am interested in the results of the mediation. I think oldwindybear is dead right on one point, my two cents is someone who gets extremely nasty and very personal. This attack was totally unjustified. Thanks again, back to the books! Max 16:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please Stay

I admit I had to wince at the note that I never say anything in one or two sentences that I can say in 10,000 words, (or as you said, "never said anything in less than forty-two paragraphs), but thanks for liking my work, long winded or not. Please remember this:Charlie and people like User:Katefan0 Dijxtra User:Essjay and ilo-Lima are the true heart of wikipedia, not one nasty person who attacks you. I am truly sorry you got drug into his vendetta against me - but please do not leave.

Charlie 's efforts to get you to stay are what wikipedia really is, so please, stick around, and watch me write 42 more paragraphs somewhere, and feel free to tell me how wrong I am! Free debate and consensus is the heart of this wonderful project - stay and help! Please! old windy bear 19:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Wow, that was quite a bit of newbie-biting going on here, not quite the welcoming atmosphere you were hoping for, I expect... I hope you will decide to stick around (the fact that you're considering it shows some admirable diligence), as from the few edits you made it looks like you could make a valuable contribution to Wikipedia. If you need any help or if you have any questions, let me know. Kind regards, --JoanneB 20:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I second everything Joanne has said, and I'm sorry that your start here was such a rough one. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 23:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Citizen of the Galaxy

Hi Max, can you review your last edit to Citizen of the Galaxy? "Heinlein was never any finer..." is a personal opinion (a good one -- I love the book myself -- but still, an opinion). Can you edit it to remove the opinion part? Thanks! -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 20:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Jim Douglas Sure! Good point, and I should have thought of it. I will go remove it now. Thanks for catching it! Max 20:32, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Also, you seem to have an interest in Heinlein; take a look at the discussions on Talk:Robert A. Heinlein. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 20:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Jim Douglas Thanks! Let me know if any of my edits are inappropriate, (I am still fairly new at this), and I will change them. Max 20:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
