[edit] Hey there

Welcome to the collective. :-) --TheParanoidOne 19:39, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. It seems most of us are wikigremlins of some sort... Though there are a couple exceptions. --GargoyleMT 19:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Corrections

Hi there, are you an administrator, few things need corrections, most of the administrators on wiki are closed minded, meaning do not know what they are doing... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.99.1.183 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I beg your pardon. I'm not sure what you're talking about. It sounds as though you're upset at something I changed, but this is the only edit attributed to your IP address. I'll be happy to talk about any changes I made, but you have to let me know what you have a problem with. --GargoyleMT 12:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
You did not answer the above question?
No, I am not angry with you, you sound ok, I am angry with certain scumbags administrators on this site who can not accept the truth, e.g. and simply run around doing what they want to do. So far, we were unable to find one good administrator. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.99.2.16 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
No, I didn't answer your question on purpose. I don't know you, and you put me off balance by asking it. Especially since you and I don't seem to have had any contact. I am just a user here. I haven't had any experiences with administrators, but if you're calling one (or any) of them "scumbags," I guess you have. Maybe the wikipedia administrators are not "accept[ing] the truth", but I am a Babylon 5 fan, and this quote from Kosh feels appropriate: "Understanding is a three-edged sword." --GargoyleMT 04:16, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree, it may very well be more than 3 edge sword, for example, i tried to add under rocky marciano... Sugar Robinson was undefeated as an amateur. That's is fact, I simply added it in the paragraph where there is a mention of other fighters, so this one stupid user reverted that saying it's incorrect info, then I complained to the moron who runs this site Jumbo Wales, did not even bother replying and I was not even the only one who wrote him, it's a long story, but I believe adding that statement is certainly a prejudice of certain administrators who hate me and vice versa. Anyways, you are a fan of boxing? If so, great, I am a historian of the sport, former amateur boxer. E.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rocky_Marciano&diff=79761260&oldid=79754173 here's the change I made, instead of talking about it on the talk page, it was reverted, anyways, try to insert it a week from now, I wonder if they will revert it, after all, I was the one who improved many boxing sites here and added lots of new information. I can send you more stuff, I can email you directly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.99.3.25 (talk • contribs) 15:18, October 12, 2006.

Ah, now I understand how you found me. I edited Rocky Marciano to remove [1] and [2], as the user had made a number of bad faith edits, including a near-blanking of a page on my watchlist. As far as your reverted edits, find a credible source and cite them when you make your changes. That seems to be the way things are done - you can't simply "escalate" your issue by contacting well placed others. Work within the system. Do you have any evidence that the person who reverted your edit were actually administrators and not just editors? Perhaps they were not, and if not, accusing Wikipedia administrators of bad things won't (or shouldn't) help in the long run. The name calling is something you might want to drop, since it goes against WP:CIVIL and gives people ammunition to use against you. (Plus, it is rude.) I hope you will consider my advice, but that's all I can give you. --GargoyleMT 21:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


Nice advice, the things you reverted that's good, as I said I added: see the link above, about Sugar only. I had problems with few administrators. If you go under sugar ray robinson you will see that I was right about him. Simply fits with other boxers. O yea, to you, no problem, you sound civil and all, we can talk nice forever if need be. I am simply saying there are some bad-ass administrators that I was very civil with them, But they were not with me, how much, how much can a person stand bs from somebody, not much... I mean, he could not even discuss problem on the talk page, but called me names. Anyways, see what you can do about the above statement of mine, as I edited. Anyways, what are your hobbies? I am otherwise historian.
I will tell you this much, the problems I had to go thru with some wiki administrators, you have no idea. There are so many mistakes on this site, I do not know where to start. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.99.1.206 (talk • contribs) 15:39, October 14, 2006.

Hey, did not hear from you, what's up, are you loosing the above argument, anyways, you need to add few things under Rocky, thru time, i always added the best stuff. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.107.220.180 (talk • contribs) 20:31, October 17, 2006.

I didn't think there was anything to say. Earlier I said that advice is all I can offer. If you want to make edits to articles, do so directly. --GargoyleMT 02:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

No, thanks, they will only attack me more, they are using this to their advantage, simply look at the above version and do it, i think i did nothing wrong by adding info on sugar. However, this behavior clearly shows wiki prejudice and their administration is wose than pathetic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.99.3.126 (talk • contribs) 15:52, October 25, 2006.

I don't know you, and I have no stake in your argument against the "administrators." I'm not interested in becoming your edit proxy. I was originally sympathetic, but your negativity and unwillingness to recognize the boundaries that I've communicated have resulted in a change of opinion. --GargoyleMT 04:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Excuse me

What sympathy, you are like the rest of these vandals, adding sugar ray robinson 85-0 is vandalism which i did, clearly shows your lack of judgment. What advise, you did not give me diddly squat.

[edit] Suikoden

Seems like you've beek keeping the suikoden entry clean of junk. There's one rather clueless individual who keeps adding forum topics under the thought that it would be a good idea to make an index of discussions. This person simply lacks the ability to understand rules (he has an incredible history of doing this sort of stuff). Just wanted to clarify that the stuff he does is not endorsed by any of the sites he links to, because you said such in his IP's talk page. --SARSadmin 08:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, especially for the correction about what I said on the talk page. I was just speculating, of course. Suikoden needs a cleanup, for sure, but getting rid of the forum links is something easy for me to do. I'm mindful of the 3 revert rule, so if he keeps doggedly adding it, someone else will need to assist in the reversions. As an aside: this is definitely a person, and not (unauthorized) automated edits that feed off of an RSS script or similar? --GargoyleMT 13:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh yes, definitely a person. He finally gave up doing his stuff on wikipedia, and will be making his topics index on a different webspace.--SARSadmin 00:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ghastly's Ghastly Comic

[3] Verifiability asserted in the second post from Ghastly. - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I just read the first page of that discussion. The tone wasn't all that great, but the outcome is pleasing. --GargoyleMT 04:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Turd Ferguson

Hi GargoyleMT - just letting you know I'm batting for you on the Celebrity Jeopardy article and decided to revert Croctotheface's changes. I'm not going to hang around for an edit war there, as I'm sure Croctotheface will revert me in a matter of minutes and it's just too trivial in the grand scope of things, but I think he's really out of line on this one. -Rolypolyman 17:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't have a stake, and I don't see it as a battle, but I do see the position as a bit odd. It's not the only redirect with no mention in the article, but the current state doesn't seem to be what the Wikipedia policy creators intended... --GargoyleMT 18:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rapid prototyping / freeform fabrication proposed merge

Sorry GargoyleMT, I didn't realise that there were variations of the merge template - just getting to grips with the right ones! I transferred your comments to the rapid prototyping page. Thanks. - CharlesC 00:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't much experience with merge templates either, except for the other merges suggested recently... --GargoyleMT 13:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
it seems you have a grip on the subject. I've had a look at the dscussions and think you can be bold and act on a conclusion you can derive yourself. Thanks. frummer 17:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! I'm glad I won't be stepping on your toes. --GargoyleMT 17:36, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Just to say I've replied to your recent comment on my user page on the article talk page (just to inform others too.) -- CharlesC 21:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
