Thanks... I've actually just taken far too long to register a name. Is there any way to take all the edits I did as an anonymous IP address and flow them into the username? (I have a static IP, but even so, I'm pretty sure that Wikipedia doesn't allow that for fairly duh reasons involving stealing other people's work) Just wondering, as I did work I was rather proud of as an IP. Thanks. --Mechcozmo 04:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Mechcozmo, I don't know the answer to that question: I'm not an admin. You might try using the HelpMe function described above in the welcome template, and someone knowledgeable will answer the question. When I was new, it worked very well for me: someone quickly answers the helpme queries. Good luck ! If you're unable to make the helpme work on this page, let me know, and I can do it for you.

[edit] Warning on K. Scott Bailey Page

Response on my talk page. KarlBunker 11:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] KarlBunker

Perhaps I should simply take this request to a higher level. He appears completely unable or unwilling to even entertain the thought that he could be wrong. What's your take on his attitude thus far? Should I just go to the next level in my request for the removal of his completely inappropriate "warning"?K. Scott Bailey 17:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Give me and him a bit more time-- if he won't tell me what happened, then by all means, process to the next level and I'll gladly support you. For the moment however remember that it is your word against his and I just want to hear what he has to say for himself. The whole staying neutral in the issue bit, y'know. I hope he understands that too, as I'm probably easier to deal with than someone who has the power to ban, block, etc. --Mechcozmo 01:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I've been reviewing your participation as a "mediator" in the (largely nonexistent) dispute between KSB and myself, and I have come to the conclusion that you are incompetent in the role you are attempting to play. As I stated in my most recent comment, I believe the dispute can be called "resolved" at this point. In case you disagree with that, this is to notify you that I won't be participating in any further discussion in which you play the role of mediator. I'll be archiving my Talk page soon. Do not attempt to renew the discussion of this issue there. If you wish, as you have threatened, to escalate this dispute, you are of course free to do so. KarlBunker 14:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
By the way, here are a couple of interesting facts about Wikipedia that you appear to be unaware of:
  • You are not a "Mediation Cabal member"; there is no "membership" to the Mediation Cabal. If there was, there would probably also be some process to screen members for basic competence.
  • Any editor can put a warning on any other editor's talk page, so the question of how I "gained the ability to warn other members" is meaningless. KarlBunker 15:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry you feel that way. I meant to use the word 'participant' to describe my relationship with the Cabal. I did not know how to warn other users; I thought that this action could only be performed by some privileged Wikipedians.
I agree that this case ought to be resolved-- K. Scott Bailey seems to have been a bit overzealous in his attacks towards you and when you refused to respond that simply made matters worse. I should have tried to achieve some semblance of a cease-fire from K. Scott Brown before asking you to agree to mediation. I'm sorry. --Mechcozmo 22:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I thank you and have new respect for you for that conciliatory tone. I will also point a last couple of things however. My response, which you were so eager to get and which you say I "made matters worse" by not giving to you sooner, consisted, as I said beforehand that it would, of nothing but walking you through the existing record of events. This is a record which you said you had already reviewed. Second, in the course of this mediation I posed several questions to you, and you didn't respond to any of them. Anyway--whatever, all's well that ends.  :-) KarlBunker 01:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
