[edit] userpage discussions

Hi, I see you left a note with Jvian already about your userpage. I left both of them a note and moved their discussions to their talk pages. I left the one that you left originally, just rv'd the two latest ones. They were moved to User talk:Jvian & User talk:Eduardo Cuellar respectively. I just wanted to give you a heads up on what I did. Cheers. ∞Who?¿? 08:33, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] my userpage

Actually, it was a "friendly vandal" who came through and tweaked the layout. It's always looked fine on my screen! :-) I'm not up for going around and doing rigorous testing on different setups, so I suppose I should simplify it. Anyway, thanks for the feedback! FreplySpang (talk) 18:10, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nomen nudum

You marked nomen nudum for speedy deletion. But the article was in fact quite correct. Please take more care. Gdr 15:37:18, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

At the time, it was patent nonsense. ‡ Jarlaxle 20:17, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

No, it wasn't. The revision you marked for speedy deletion [1] was quite correct, as a simple Google search would have told you. Gdr 21:42:33, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

Oops. My mistake. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:50, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the Welcome

I don't need to say anything else ... nice to be welcomed, thank you. WP can be a place of overwhelming "cliqueness", where sensible edits are instantly removed by "members" for no legitimate reason other than the poster is not a member. I will work to change that, and my undesireable activities will cease shortly, once I have had enough fun with certain members.

Thanks again. oops --Zippydeedoodah 22:15, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dambrath

Thank you for the modifications on Dambrath :-) Reply to David Latapie 11:32, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

No problem. ‡ Jarlaxle 17:48, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Problems with font

Hi there, I saw your complaint on the am.wiki, I haven't actually tried the solution on that page so I can't vouch for that one, but there is another solution you can link to from the Main Page, just look for the English words "Can't see the font?" and try that method...

If that doesn't work, it could be a Unicode issue with your windows or browser system...

Regards, Codex Sinaiticus 15:54, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. ‡ Jarlaxle 23:42, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sandbot malfunction

That was caused by a page move. Please be aware that Sandbot is a valid bot, and any concerns over hiccups and such should be directed to my user talk page. Thank you. --AllyUnion (talk) 23:10, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About translating

Hello, you welcomed me the other day and I thank you.

But I have a question about style in the Wikipedia and I didn't found in the Manual of Style, and I don't know where to ask someone else, so you are the one closest.

Right now I'm working on a project to have info about bands from Latin America in the Wikipedia, but I don't know where I should translate and where not, can you explain me?

Should I translate the name of the band? I saw some bands with their names translated, but I also saw others without it translated.

Should I translate the name of the albums and songs of the band? I haven't seen any bands with this translated, but in the articles I made I translated them.

Thank you very much and sorry for bothering, and sorry for forgeting about signing my message. --Nicanor5 23:18, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New and improved

From my talk page:

Lord Voldemort ę How's that for a signature? ‡ Jarlaxle 19:41, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

It's not too bad, except I like having a bigger link for my talk page. I'll stick with what I have for the time being, but may opt for something more like your suggestion in the future. Cheers. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 19:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edits' formatting

I realize you've been gone a while: in the interim, there is consensus on the "External Links" vs. "External links" (that's why Bluebot is allowed to go around fixing them); specifically, it's been decided (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28headings%29#Standard_headings_and_ordering) that "External links" will exclusively be used. --Maru (talk) Contribs 05:17, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I see. I'm disappointed by that consensus. Except for articles ( ie. the), conjunctions, prepositions, and possibly some other word categories, the words in headings are supposed to be capitalized. <font color="black">&rArr;</font> <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> <font color="darkgreen">Jarlaxle</font><font color="goldenrod">Artemis</font></font> 05:23, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
... You might want to look at the capitalization section, then. --Maru (talk) Contribs 05:26, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not a hoax

Would you believe that Neuva Germania is actually not a hoax? Check out [[2]]. Ifnord 22:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Interesting. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:23, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Forgotten Realms Project

Hi,

We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.

The goal is to create a sort of World Factbook for the Realms. This means:

  • A consistent content
  • Use of templates
  • Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the Western Highlands.

On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as Pelvuria or Imaskar and, of course, Netheril

Main contributors are presently

Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! Reply to David Latapie 12:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Phobias

Please read the -phobia article carefully and don't add phobias about whoch there is nothing specific to say beyond dictionary definition. Please add them to wiktionary. You may want to expand the wiktionary:Category:Phobias, startind from categorizing phobias fromwiktionary:User:TheDaveRoss/phobias.

You may also want to read Talk:-phobia#There isn't a single thing someone hasn't a phobia about and other discussion. mikka (t) 02:19, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Once again: as with any other lists in wikipedia, like List of websites, Internet phenomenon, etc., to list something, you must prove its notability. The -phobia article spells it. Please don't pump coinages that don't have significant usage. Note: references from snake oil psycho websites don't count. They collect everything that floats on net. mikka (t) 06:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

You wrote: there is plenty of dicdefs, and several more will not hurt. Well. I am working carefully weeding out bullshit from the page. Ideally all from the bottom list must either go or move up, into solid section. But I am realistic and dont' delete everything just because they don't have articles yet. Most of what's left are common phobias with chance to have an article. Please, don't add helpless terms that cannot go beyond dicdef. mikka (t) 06:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image tags

When are you going to cleanup your image tags? I've been asking you about this for a year now. Unless I hear from you I'm going to start marking them for deletion. -Willmcw 02:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I never realized that my image tags were dirty. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:13, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes, they are naughty and incorrect. We've lready been over the problems many times, so I assume you know what to do. Thakns for helping out. -Willmcw 06:38, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Just to chime in, the main problem I see is lack of source, and under current rules that forces deletion in seven days. You may notice that some of the images in your gallery have already been deleted, so the process is underway. Stan 18:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] -phobia

"Listed in a textbook": ...and in a hundred of other places. Good luck for them there. Wiktionary is the place for them. mikka (t) 01:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

Which one? I've made a few different ones. If you mean the most recent, more power to you. Rogue 9 06:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

That's what I thought. Just made it because I was about two seconds from flaming TheCoffee with the very fires of Hell a couple minutes ago. Restrained myself for the sole reason that he's an admin on a power abuse spree and I don't care to push quite that hard. Rogue 9 06:07, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Don't mean to pry, but I can't help but notice that you aren't using the template.  ;) Rogue 9 01:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question...

So I like what you did with the twinkle article. I hjust wonder if it is worth having almost indentical info there as in the drizzt main article...

Jabencarsey 05:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I decided to redirect it right before you posted this message here. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 05:58, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] truncated usernames

The usernames at Special:Ipblocklist are truncated. You want the ones at Special:Log/block. -- Curps 06:31, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chultan Peninsula

Hi, the move from Chultan peninsula -> Chultan Peninsula created a few double redirects which should be fixed, please see Wikipedia:double redirects. Poulsen 03:38, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ?

I've just deleted your recent redirects, which were displayed as a standalone question mark character. Please review Talk: for my reasoning. -- Longhair 06:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I see you're again creating these redirects. Help me as I'm still mis-understanding here. If the characters you're adding redirecting to Tengwar can't be entered on a standard keyboard, what value do they hold here? Who's going to enter them directly, or create a link, if they can't be typed? -- Longhair 01:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Beats me. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 01:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Isn't that a perfect case for deletion then, if they'll never be used? -- Longhair 02:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I never said they won't be used; I just don't know who will use them. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:02, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Can you tell me how I can use them? What needs to be installed to do so? It seem you're able to enter them ok. I'm not against them, I'm just trying to see the logic in adding them. -- Longhair 02:05, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
There's info and a download for the Unicode version here. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:09, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Thanks for that catch of my mistake, I've corrected it. --Krich (talk) 07:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] vote

Please vote on whether to delete Kancho sense. You said you wanted it deleted and I nominated it for it. Voting link here: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kancho_sense StarTrekkie 09:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Brandt

There is no real need to italicise "Wikipedia" and "Wikipedia Watch". NSLE (T+C+CVU) 03:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

They are the names of websites. It's like italicizing Google Watch, which is done in the first paragraph of the article. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis
It makes no sense to italicise "Wikipedia" when elsewhere on Wikipedia it isn't. NSLE (T+C+CVU) 03:08, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Then elsewhere on Wikipedia is incorrect. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Artemis Rules

Hey there. I just wanted to introduce myself and give ya "props" for the use of Artemis in your name from a fellow user. All the best. Artemisboy 22:13, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Association of Massage Therapists and Wholistic Practitioners

I think you forgot to blank the text as per Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

No, I just don't like doing that. JarlaxleArtemis 05:09, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

– Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 06:34, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
PS: When you post to the Village Pump, where the edit summary is the main way somebody can tell what is going on, using edit summaries is even more requested. You have been told. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 06:34, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Why are you stating the obvious? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 23:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elminster

Sorry about the Elminster thing. The whole idea of that character just rubs me the wrong way. — Stratosalexandros 00:17, January 15, 2006

Why's that? (It doesn't have to do with the Elmara thing, does it? If you've read Elminster: The Making of a Mage, you'll know what I'm talking about.) ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 01:53, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lords of the Nine Hells

You removed the category "Greyhawk Deities" from this article because you feel these are not deities. However, as most of these beings do have worshippers in the World of Greyhawk, among other campaign worlds (check Gygax's World of Greyhawk boxed set, as well as the Book of Vile Darkness, I'm reverting your edit.Robbstrd 02:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] days of the year

it is the agreed upon practice to have only the first instance of a year hyperlinked. see Wikipedia:WikiProject Days of the year. cheers, Kingturtle 05:54, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] list redirect

Just a friendly note to say you redirected my japanoise artist list to japanese artists, although I actually meant japanoise (i.e. ジャパノイズ = "japanoise", aka 'Japanese noise'), a musicians sub-genre list. Hope there's no future misunderstanding. Nagelfar 17:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. There isn't an article called Japanoise, so I thought it was a typo. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Understandable, it's closely enough related in explaination that it is covered in the 'noise music' article; I'll go ahead and make a 'Japanoise' redirect to it now. Though I feel I should say, even if it were a typo, it would be helpful to wikipedia as a whole to incorporate any new information when & if you're going to take the initative to redirect a duplicate article; merging them. One of the things that I would have assumed should have stopped any misunderstanding would have been the fact that none of those recording artists I listed were already on any list of Japanese artists. A little extra attention paid should have caught that. Anyway, All the best to you, Nagelfar 05:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please don't add nude gallery links to Wikipedia bio pages

As per External links guidelines, please avoid posting links to picture galleries as they are not encyclopedic. Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 04:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk namespace

See Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. I notice that you aren't using {{subst:sharedip||Organization}} nor {{subst:ISP||ISP Name}}. —Viriditas | Talk 04:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, is there something you don't like about the template? —Viriditas | Talk 05:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
No, I just didn't know about it. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 05:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:JarlaxleArtemis/Image Gallery

Hi, I took the liberty of turning this gallery page into a list of links instead. There where a large number of fair use images there (76 acording to this report) and our policy is to now allow such images to be used on userpages or subpages thereof. Feel free to pick out any free licensed images you have contributed and show them in a gallery though, I only listified them all indiscriminately because it was a lot faster than checking each and every image to see if it was fair use or not. --Sherool (talk) 16:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, I reverted your revert. As I said feel free to show any free licensed images you have uploaded in a gallery, but displaying fair use images on userpages (and user subpages) violate Wikipedia fair use policy (See Wikipedia:Fair use#Fair use policy (point #9)), so don't just revert back to the full gallery. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 23:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Google has tons of image galleries under the fair use claim. The images are roughly the same size as the images in my gallery were. If Google can do it, why can't Wikipedia contributors? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 04:11, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Because Google has big expensive lawyers and Wikipedia has a policy against doing it. DreamGuy 05:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
That isn't a good enough explanation. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 01:15, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Ed Greenwood.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ed Greenwood.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 05:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Next time actually check to see if an image has a source instead of just assuming it doesn't. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 00:15, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I see you've changed the licensing tag on this image to {{promotional}}. However, you have not provided any evidence that this image comes from a press kit; the only source you list is a website which does not state that the images are for publicity purposes. Therefore I've reinstated the deletion process. —Psychonaut 21:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guenhwyvar

On the Guenhwyvar page, you reverted my edits that Guenhwyvar is actually male. I am sorry to inform you of this, but Guenhwyvar IS a male. according to chapter 17 "vengenace" in Salvatore's The Crystal Shard, drizzt says, quote:

"Guenhwyvar is no demon," Drizzt reassured his large companion [Wulfgar]. He is a valuable friend and ally."

Thus, I added the "gender controversy" subsection to the panther's characteristics.

Please understand. I will not begin a revert war, so I ask that all versions of "she" be turned to "it", and rewrite the gender controversy section accordingly.

P.H. - Kyoukan, UASC 15:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

It's obviously a typo, then. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lord Ao

Noticed that you removed a reference that was added to Lord Ao. Could I ask why? It seemed an appropriate reference to me. Powers 12:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

That reference wasn't used for the article. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 23:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Road Runner

And?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.94.114.251 (talk • contribs) .

Just making conversation. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 00:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Thanks,your signature was inspiration for mine. Plus Jarlaxle, Artemis Entreri, and Drizzt are my favorite FR characters too (Actually I take it back, Danilo Thann is, but Arilyn is too stereotypically "women empowerment" for me. Her moonblade is cool, it'd be awesome to see if Drizz't could inherit a moonblade-scimitar somehow, possibly from Elaith's family.) ⇒ SWATJester 17:24, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] War of the Spider Queen

I removed this section from the Vhaeraun article the first time because, as currently written, it is 1) non-enyclopedic, and 2) copied word-for-word from one of the novels, & thus a violation of copyright. I would suggest altering it in order to correct these problems. Robbstrd 22:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I re-added it, as it is 1) encyclopedic, and 2) the only thing copied is the deities' dialogue, which is quotations and thus serves as fair use. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 00:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Please explain why the dialogue is necessary--I think a summary would suffice. In addition, you should cite which source this is from in order to credit the author.Robbstrd 02:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to add that not crediting sources is considered plagiarism. Robbstrd 02:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I thought "War of the Spider Queen" was a good enough citation, but I'll see what I can do. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:03, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Subpages

In Firefox you subpages box goes off the side of the page. Just though you should know. The Neokid talk 11:26, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Just go to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:J.reed/monobook.js&action=edit and post {{subst:navpop}} there. After saving it, hold the shift key while refreshing your page, and you're good to go. You can learn more at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:51, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Hey, I undid the redirect for Albedo Piasora and started some discussions on the talkpage, since I just got word from the user. Deckiller 04:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked again

Hi, I have blocked you again, as you have not written the apology, which was required by your unbanning agreement. Any admin may lift the block as soon as you write it. Note that we now allow you to edit your own user talk page while you are blocked. I'll be watching your talk page or you may email me through Special:Emailuser. --Phroziac ♥♥♥♥ 20:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I wrote it a while ago; it's here. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 04:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't see a single link to it except this one here. Did you inform the editors to whom you were apologizing? -Will Beback 07:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
No, he didn't. This is the first I've heard of it. —Psychonaut 07:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Also, you were required to hand over the passwords to accounts impersonating Psychonaut, which he says you have not done. -Will Beback 07:01, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I never created any accounts impersonating him. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 04:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
What is the status of these accounts: User:Linuxbeak/Admin stuff/JarlaxleArtemis? -Will Beback 04:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
What's that mean? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 05:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
And what's up with your user page? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 05:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
According to computer records, you apparently created a number of accounts to either spoof or mock Wikipedia edits. One of the requirements of your unbanning is that you Repair any damage caused by acts of sockpuppetry/impersonation on other Wikis. Here is Psychonaut's note from February indicating that you still had not completed that part of the requirement.[3] It seems a bit late for you to just now be inquiring about the terms of your unbanning. Regarding my userpage, it's a complaint about me which I found amusing. Getting back to the apology, an apology posted in a hiding place is not an apology. For it to have any effect you have to apologize to the harmed parties directly. Please add me to the list. Cheers, -Will Beback 06:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
It's highly unlikely that the User:Psychonauts on the various other Wikiprojects were not created by JarlaxleArtemis, given that:
In any event, unless JarlaxleArtemis recruited a friend to do this, it will be easy to link him to the Wikimedia accounts by checking the IP logs, as was done for the English Wikipedia by Tim Starling. —Psychonaut 11:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I must add a comment that IP logs are not as trustworthy as most of you believed. My ISP, Hong Kong Broadband, uses a DHCP IP-hopping technology to randomly re-distribute IPs every day, and therefore all IPs of the customers subscribed to this ISP are shared. This resulted in my use of many IPs previously used by vandals, and I was being blocked through IP a few weeks ago due to this technical problem. I would keep my story short as I'm not coming to tell my story, but I wanna warn admins who like checking IPs that IP checking is not as reliable as you think. --Deryck C. 12:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
The difference between your case and this one is that in yours, your IP address was being misidentified as some random vandal targetting some random Wikipedia pages, whereas in this case we are linking a vandal with a particular agenda and known account to various anonymous accounts with the same agenda and coming from the same ISP. The likelihood of an independent third party at JarlaxleArtemis's ISP vandalizing the exact set of people JarlaxleArtemis has a grudge against is so remote as to be virtually impossible. —Psychonaut 13:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I agree your claim, and your claim in turn verified my statement that IP addresses isn't a reliable method of identification. Instead, article targets are. --Deryck C. 16:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblocked

I asked Guanaco to review the situation, and he has unblocked you, per the posted apology. Some of the other complaints seem to have merits, but I'm not in the mood to investigate them. Be good. --Phroziac ♥♥♥♥ 02:28, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand. Has Jarlaxle notified everyone of his apology? Posting an apology in a secret location does not seem to fulfill any conceibable meaning of "write an apology to". -Will Beback 02:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
And you care because? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 04:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Please notify these users of the apology. The apology is meaningless unless they are able to read it. —Guanaco 04:32, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
As I requested above, please apologize to me as well. Please also fu;fill the other requirements of your return. -Will Beback 16:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Apologize to you for what? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 20:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Your encouragement of User:Thodin's vandalism. Have you satisfied user:Psychonaut and user:Linuxbeak that damage caused by the fake accounts and vandalism have been repaired? -Will Beback 20:41, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
My encouragement of his vandalism? I have no idea what you're talking about. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 20:49, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Have you completed the other requirements? Do you have an active mentor? Have you read and will you follow Wikipedia's polices and guidelines? -Will Beback 21:08, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Question 1: aye, question 2: dunno, question 3: aye. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 21:21, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
When user:Psychonaut and user:Linuxbeak indicate that they are satisfied with your compliance on the damage recovery then that should take care of that requirement. Linuxbeak hasn't said anything but Psychonaut has said that you haven't. Have you done anything since then to fulfill it? Do you now know all of the current MOS rules? All of the current image copyright rules? -Will Beback 21:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Please stop editing pending the completion of your unbanning requirements. -Will Beback 22:40, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I have already completed my unbanning requirements. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
No you haven't. On 2006-03-14 you sent me the passwords to wikibooks:User:Psychonaut, wikispecies:User:Psychonaut, wikinews:User:Psychonaut, wiktionary:User:Psychonaut, and wikisource:User:Psychonaut, but I still haven't received the passwords to meta:User:Psychonaut and commons:User:Psychonaut. —Psychonaut 05:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Please stop editing pending the completion of your unbanning requirements. If you do not do so voluntarily I will block your account. -Will Beback 22:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

A minor aside—from the comment at m:User talk:Psychonaut, it appears that Silsor has already confiscated the account on Meta and changed its password; Jarlaxle can't turn over the password for that account because he doesn't have it. I don't know anything about the Commons account, however—I would urge Jarlaxle to turn over the password for that account immediately or provide a good explanation why he can't. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 22:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
OK, I've contacted User:Silsor to ask for access to the Meta:User:Psychonaut account. I still need access to commons:User:Psychonaut though. —Psychonaut 01:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Update: User:Silsor has given me the password for Meta:User:Psychonaut, and I've taken possession of this account. As for Commons:User:Psychonaut, I just received the following e-mail from JarlaxleArtemis:
Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 00:10:18 GMT
Message-Id: <200603250010.k2P0AIKx016281@srv61.pmtpa.wmnet>
To: Psychonaut <e-mail address redacted>
Subject: Wikipedia e-mail
X-Mailer: MediaWiki mailer
From: JarlaxleArtemis <e-mail address redacted>

I tried to log in to the Commons account with as many potential passwords
that I could think of, but I was not successful. Perhaps someone with the
"rename user" ability on Commons could rename the account. Then you could
recreate it with your own password.
I don't know anything about this "rename user" function, but if it does exist and someone can free up that account for me, then all JarlaxleArtemis's unbanning requirements concerning me will be fulfilled. —Psychonaut 04:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I just found a few more of JarlaxleArtemis's "Psychonaut" accounts on some of the foreign-language Wikipedias (hu, ia, etc.) which I've since repossessed; the passwords were the same as the one he gave me on 14 March. Are there any other accounts I should know about, JarlaxleArtemis? Also, if you could follow up on your "Rename user" plan by asking someone with this ability on Commons to move the account, that would be great. —Psychonaut 04:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
The Commons account issue has been resolved. [4] All of JarlaxleArtemis's Psychonaut impersonation accounts that I'm aware of have been restored to me. —Psychonaut 09:26, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I have blocked the account until the matter of the passwords of doppelganger accounts spoofing Psychonaut and Linuxbeak are resolved. I note that Jarlaxle lied previously on this page, insisting he'd never created such accounts, even though he had most of the passwords. Once Linuxbeak and Psychonaut say that they are satisfied the damage has been repaired we can unblock the account again. -Will Beback 04:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Typical admin. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 05:24, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Couldn't you just, you know, comply with the requirements of your agreement, and then the block will go away? Impersonating another editor on a bunch of wikis was a pretty low thing to do, and it's not surprising that people are upset about it. You've had a long time to resolve this. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:26, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Starting two arbitration cases against me for no reason was a pretty low thing to do. I already have complied with the requirements of my agreement. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:10, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
If the arbitration cases were frivolous or vexatious, then the ArbCom would have dismissed them out of hand, and possibly sanctioned me. —Psychonaut 04:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I believe that Psychonaut has now said in this edit summary that you have provided the last password to him. As soon as Linuxbeak makes a similar announcement then that element of your requirements will have been fulfilled. -Will Beback 18:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I said no such thing. Read the actual edit, not the summary, for details—JarlaxleArtemis has not provided me the final password, but has claimed to have forgotten it and suggested administrator intervention to restore control of the account. —Psychonaut 23:25, 26

March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. -Will Beback 00:23, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New problems

According to user:David Gerard at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#JarlaxleArtemis: WP:AN/BJAODN, this user has begun making mischief again. -Will Beback 00:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

How is asking for checkuser rights bad? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Are you insane? You will never get checkuser rights. Ever. Wikipedia will go to 1.0 before that happens. In fact, you should be nowhere near Checkuser in any form, or anything dealing with adminny-ness. Even asking is a strong indicator you are going to be resuming your vandalizing ways, or are at least considering it. --maru (talk) contribs 02:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
No, not really. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:57, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Password requests? Why's he blaming me for it? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Because it came from your email address. For what purpose did you want the checkuser rights? -Will Beback 07:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
No purpose. It was late at night, and I was bored. I saw a link to the Meta page concerning Checkuser, so I followed it and submitted a form, which took only a few seconds to fill out and submit. I didn't expect to get Checkuser rights, but I didn't see any harm in submitting a useless request. I don't see how Checkuser could help out vandalism, either. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:55, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Gerard says that "And he just tried a password request from every admin on Uncyclopedia."[5] What was the purpose of that? -Will Beback 04:09, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
How do you do a password request? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 04:11, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
I dunno. Are you saying that you never did it and that Gerard lied when he said you did? -Will Beback 04:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm saying he's mistaken. I haven't been to Uncyclopedia in months. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 04:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Please work it out with him so that the mistake is corrected. He's at user talk:David Gerard. Please also make sure that all "Psychonaut" accounts are turned over, and all other previous damage repaired. -Will Beback 09:51, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Islamophilia

You might be interested in contributing to the new article of islamophilia. --Germen (Talk | Contribs ) 11:15, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

That's not really my subject. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock requested

Completed unbanning requirements. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 01:45, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Please list your unbanning requirements and the steps you have taken to complete them. -Will Beback 02:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Partner with a mentor from Mediation/Mentorship
  • A formal apology given to Linuxbeak, Psychonaut, Anthere, NicholasT and anyone else who you may have caused harm
    • [6], [7], [8], don't know who NicholasT is.
  • Repair any damage caused by acts of sockpuppetry/impersonation on other Wikis
    • Gave Psychonaut the passwords.
  • A probationary period for as long as your defunct ArbCom case originally had set as the penal period (one year)

⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:02, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

You do realize that User:NicholasT redirects to the actual account, User:NicholasTurnbull, right? Did you even try? --maru (talk) contribs 03:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes, but I don't know that user. I've never had any interactions with him. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:51, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
But you still have to apologize to him if I'm reading your post above correctly. --maru (talk) contribs 04:54, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
And we need user:Psychonaut to state that he has received the passwords for all of the accounts. -Will Beback 05:59, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
As I mentioned before, all of JarlaxleArtemis's Psychonaut impersonation accounts that I'm aware of have been restored to me. He recently wrote me an e-mail claiming that there are no others:

Subject: Wikipedia e-mail

There aren't any other Psychonaut accounts that I know of.
—Psychonaut 08:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Good. Sorry for missing that before. As for mentors, Linuxbeak has become pre-occupied, so Cool Cat, Spum, and I will be your mentors. Let's see if User:NicholasTurnbull has any input, but it sounds like we're almost there. -Will Beback 08:47, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requirements met

User:NicholasTurnbull sends his best wishes, says he can't recall any incident either, and waives the requirement. It may have been a mistake by Linuxbeak, though I wonder why you didn't mention it back in November when you agreed to it as part of your unbanning. To recap the history, you were in the midst of your second ArbCom case when you were permanently banned for behavior. You were subsequently unbanned, contingent on certain requirements which which you've now fulfilled. You are editing under parole and mentorship. Complaints from other users or other evidence that you have engaged in the behaviors cited by the ArbCom will result in future blocks without notice. Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/JarlaxleArtemis,Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/JarlaxleArtemis 2/Proposed decision Those behaviors include: childish behavior, ignorance or defiance of Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and MOS, improper use of image tags, personal attacks, and vandalism. Please do not remove this and other enforcement notices from your talk page until your parole is complete. You are welcome to edit here so long as your contributions are helpful and you follow the norms of the community. -Will Beback 22:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
