[edit] MAJOR CYBER ATTACK HERE
Folks, the IP address I have used for the last six years has come under major cyber attack in the last few days, so I have abandoned it. So for those who do checkuser requests on me to see if I am a sock puppet or similar, there is now a second IP address that you will find associated with this account, and which should be the only one I use for the indefinite future. --BenBurch 19:10, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was doing usability testing on the VRWC's new Innernets LibberZapper before its official release. :) - Crockspot 21:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, warn a guy first! Sheesh! ;-) --BenBurch 21:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's nukular powered, you know. - Crockspot 21:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

- So you just decided to attack BenBurch with it? What in the world is a LibberZapper anyway, a portscanner? Prodego talk 21:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

- Hmmm... methinks the Wellstone Ray needs a warming up. - Crockspot 21:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- He's JOKING, Prodego. He's one of the three guys from that side of the fence I actually get along with. --BenBurch 21:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I hope I'm one of the other two. Find a venue yet? VoiceOfReason 00:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- You are! And RWR too. And I haven't forgotten you. I have an Arbcom case just now that is taking my minimal free time, but I am thinking that my Live Journal might be a good venue. --BenBurch 01:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Your LiveJournal will do nicely, although I suppose you just want the traffic ;) I'm looking forward to this, by the way. I think we can both agree that the amount of sheer acrimony between Right and Left has skyrocketed in the last decade or so, and this will be a good experiment to see if two people on opposite poles can engage in real, substantive, thoughtful, and logical debate. If this works out, you can pick the topic for the next one. VoiceOfReason 02:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

- VOR, are you trying to pass yourself off as a conservative? - Crockspot 20:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Conservative Rumble!!!! (tee hee) You might not believe this, but in normal times I might be considered to be a conservative. I actually worked for Ron Paul's last Libertarian Presidential campaign... --BenBurch 21:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- We forgive you, Ben! --Orange Mike 15:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

- Come clean, Ben. You only flirted with the libertarians because you agree with their position on the War on Drugs, am I rite?
- And as for you, Crockspot, I call myself a neolibertarian, which is a libertarian who believes that the state's power and duty to defend the citizenry from attack extends to taking proactive measures to engage threats. There's plenty of positions of mine the conservatives abhor, and there's more that the liberals abhor. In practice I generally vote Republican, on the theory that a social conservative can merely delay progress (rollbacks are extremely difficult) while an economic liberal can create new government programs that will never stop growing. But that's beside the point: this particular debate is on the legality of the war in Iraq, and I think it's safe to say that those who believe the war was illegal are generally Left while those who disagree are mostly Right, so for this specific purpose I champion the Right.
- Ben, this arbitration thing can't be taking all your time. What's the URL for your LJ? Let's get the party started. VoiceOfReason 17:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cookie
Thanks for the cookie. I've looked in on the RfA for Free Republic and wanted to wish you luck. --PTR 18:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] White Rose
Hey Benzo, somebody put a speedy delete tag on the WR article, claiming it "fails to assert notability". Someone else removed it and suggested that it go AfD instead. Don't see any further action yet, but you might want to add a sentence or two to the intro to better assert notability. If there is any content that is exclusively available from WR, that would be something to mention that would assert notability better. - Crockspot 19:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- I probably shouldn't edit it as I have a COI. I appreciate the head's up! --BenBurch 20:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- If no one edited any article that they were connected to in some way, half the articles on WP wouldn't exist. I say edit away. I don't buy into the COI arguments except in extremely egregious cases, and there is no hard and fast rule about it. - Crockspot 20:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
-
-
- Okay I'll update it a bit, but then you look at it after, OK? --BenBurch 20:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DeanHinnen
Must have missed that one, thanks for reverting and feel free to revert any others I may have missed. He has stopped since I talked with him, so I won't take any furthur action. — Moe 16:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiWorld syndication
Ben: Based on your suggested method for Web syndication of the WikiWorld comic (as well as information posted later by SteveBaker), I've posted the following image file in Wikimedia Commons: Image:Current comic.jpg
I'll do my best to update it weekly, when each new comic is posted in The Wikipedia Signpost. Please let me know if you run into any problems - or if you can suggest a good way to let others know about this option (once we're sure it works correctly). Thanks for the great idea! --Greg Williams 15:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unwise
I was looking to see who posted this image; if it was FAFFA, I would have blocked him for 24 hours for trolling on the arbitration case. I'm not sure I shouldn't block you. Supposedly you are the more responsible and levelheaded of the disputants here. Please try to play nice with the rest of the class. Thatcher131 15:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Actually that was meant to be instructional FOR FAAFA. He needs to figure out that he doesn't HAVE to say some things, that other people come up with their own correct conclusions and that this way he doesn't have to say uncivil things... Since it was misunderstood, I'll remove it. --BenBurch 15:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- It would be best to do that on his user talk page, not an arbitration page. Others might misread your intent as I did. Thatcher131 15:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Edits made to Free Republic Evidence
I removed your edits to my section. Feel free to add or edit your own personal section of evidence as you see fit (including referencing mine). I removed it because 1) its contrary to wiki policy to edit others evidence sections, 2) I personally don't want to discuss the details of the his case in my section as its not relevant (only the question of identity is relevant). Dman727 17:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fair enough! --BenBurch 17:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You're kidding me
You're kidding me! Grumble. Well, anyways, I don't know the first thing about starting an RFC. If one gets started, I'll participate in it. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 22:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- I looked at his main user contributions and I don't see any of those annoying edits in the past 30+ hours. Are you referring to one of his Bot accounts? ~a (user • talk • contribs) 22:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 10:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Free Republic
This arbitration case has closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The indefinite community ban of User:BryanFromPalatine for tendentious editing, personal attacks, block evasion and disruption is endorsed. The ban also applies to User:DeanHinnen and all other proxies or sockpuppets of BryanFromPalatine. User:Fairness And Accuracy For All is banned from Wikipedia for one year. The articles Free Republic and Democratic Underground are placed on article probation. It is expected that these articles will be improved to conform with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and that information contained in them will be supported by verifiable information from reliable sources. Either article may be reviewed on the motion of any arbitrator, or upon acceptance by the Arbitration Committee of a motion made by any user, and users whose editing is disruptive may be banned or their editing restricted as the result of a review. This notice is given by a clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. Newyorkbrad 00:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Did you go?
I see that this happened in your home town, just wondering if you went, and if I should start dragging a CU article out of my sandbox archive yet? - Crockspot 18:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Oops, that was the Elgin theatre in Toronto... nevermind. - Crockspot 18:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
