I am taking an indefinite wikibreak due to some burn out. If I don't respond on

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Todfox! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 09:48, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

  • Pleased to meet you, too. :) Ryan 09:55, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] Hey Burner

            Hey there. Yeah, I'm leaving for BRC on 8/25. Camping with Shangri La Village in the Purple Turtle this year. What about you? BTW, are you from Austin? If so, do you know Brady? Gecko 19:16, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

            Often thought of going to Flipside, but I haven't made the trek yet. One of these days! Gecko 00:59, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] Handbook of Texas proposed deletion

            Please go here and express your opinion on whether Category:Handbook of Texas citations should be deleted. As a Wikipedian in Texas, your opinion on this topic is particularly valuable. 66.167.253.162 17:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC).

            [edit] Question for Kit

            Excuse my lack of Wikipedia manners, I'm relatively new to this whole process, but I have a direct question to Ms. Kit O'Connel, who claims to be Dr. Joseph Ransohoff's granddaughter. I am his son. I just happened to stumble across a grossly short article about my father, when a sudden whim took me into the "discussion" section, and lead me here to your user page. I'd really love to know how we are related. My e-mail adress is WingZeroJake@aol.com, so if you could drop me a line and tell me how the heck we connnect to each other in this terribly byzantine clump of relations that is the Ransohoff family, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

            I think your Wikipedia manners were basically fine, but you can use four tildes (~) to sign comments on discussion pages. Anyway I am replying to you in email but I am definitely working on expanding the page on my grandfather. It has been on the backburner for a while I am afraid but I would like to add a lot more detail about him. Oh and pardon me being a bit silly, but Hi Uncle Jake! Fancy running into you here. Kit 09:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] Note of support for your work on the External links @ Burning Man

            I just wanted to drop a note of support for your attempts to clean up the links at Burning Man; reading over the talk page, I think you have behaved with commendable calmness and civility, in the face of, let us say it, less than that. I don't have the time or attention right now to form an opinion on the links particularly, but I thought I'd just drop a note of support for your work. Thanks! JesseW, the juggling janitor 08:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

            Thanks. I really appreciate having someone voice a note of appreciation for my work there. I tried very hard to remain calm and civil and it is good to have that noticed! Overall, I think things are settled there now; the external links section could still be better but hopefully that will be better improved after the proposed rewrite. Kit 21:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] Jaredite NPOV Tag

            Please follow the discussion you created at Jaredite. You stated:

            This article, especially the section on the Jaredite origin of blacks, reads like it is taken from Mormon scripture and doctrine. Thus I added the bias tag.

            NPOV on religious articles is taken seriously by myself and a number of other admins who watch religous articles. However, your argument is not sound. No offense meant, but this is a faith-based topic, and should be written from the point of view of its origination (which in this case would be a Mormon viewpoint) - that is common sense. If not, we may as well add similar tags to hundreds of biblical characters including Cain, Cush and Esau, Moses and others as their is no physical evidence for their existence and the historical infomation about them is believed based on faith in the Bible/Torah/Koran. The article includes a number of "obligatory neutrality disclaimers" such as "The Jaredites are an alleged ancient people ... " and "according to the narrative ...." and "in the Book of Mormon, specifically the Book of Ether, the Jaredites are described."

            I don't think any reader who reads the article will think any more than this is a people described in the Book of Mormon. I guess we are having a hard time understanding your concern. If you have specific concerns about the article, lets address them, but to say this is written from a "Mormon point of view" is not a sound argument, as the term would not exist if it were not for the Mormon point of view. Either clarify your thoughts or withdraw your argument. The tag will likely be removed by myself or another admin within a few days if no response. We want to ensure that religious-based articles are NPOV, so your concern is important, but your reasoning is either faulty or incomplete. -Visorstuff 16:20, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] Burning Man image

            Hi there! Re. that image, it's been so long ago now, that I've forgotten. Yes, I took the pic myself - of that I'm certain. I don't think I specifically asked permission from the BM team, tho' - Ali-oops✍ 07:05, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] Barney Is A Dinosaur

            Re your comment on Talk:Barney Is A Dinosaur - the article has been speedied twice and I'm now speedying it again. There is already an article on Barney. Rd232 talk 22:57, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

            I don't even remember this page or this comment, so it must not have been very important to me. thanks for letting me know though. Kit 03:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)


            [edit] Sock Puppet Policy

            I'm somewhat new to Wikipedia myself, but it appears to me that there is very strong evidence to suggest that NPOVenforcer is a sock puppet of the anonymous user (that he has reverted back to before). Is there anything we can do about the situation to remedy it? I read the Wikipedia policy on sock puppets and if he is, in fact, a sock puppet and using that sock puppet for deception, Wikipedia can take action against him. But it's unclear to me how one would begin that action. There is a template we can paste onto his user page, but all that would happen if we did that (I assume) is that he would delete it and try to get "revenge" or whatnot. In any case, thought I would see if you knew any more about this than I do. Feel free to delete this comment if you feel the need. I wasn't sure how else to contact you. --Jakob Huneycutt 17:57, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

            Although I believe that NPOVenforcer and 67,* are very likely the same person, I think that would make this more a case of straight up lying rather than real sock puppetry. However, I do believe that his hitlist on his User page is in violation of Wikipedia:Civility. If you would like to do something about it I suggest on of us post an RfC on his behavior. The suspected sock-puppetry-esque behavior could certainly be mentioned there. Kit 01:54, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] Talk:Blue screen of death

            This is getting real ugly in a real big hurry, and we could use some cool heads. If you want to throw your two cents into the new straw poll, it'd be greatly appreciated. --InShaneee 02:15, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] NPOVenforcer

            Yes, I noticed that. I was added at the same time as they made the bad-faith-assuming reply, which demonstrates to me a remarkable lack of patience for asychronous conversations. The whole thing is in remarkably bad taste, but then I gather that they've already concluded that all these people jumping on them are part of a shadowy cabal, and so have entirely eliminated the community's ability to help them. Their ability for creating misunderstanding just with the judicious application of impatience is impressive, and doesn't bode well for their career here.

            Although, so far it's mostly limited to a tasteless user page. I'm hoping they're just going to be a harmless dissident rather than anything worse.  — Saxifrage | ☎ 08:42, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

            I just noticed that the user that NPOVenforcer was "backing" at Talk:Objectivist philosophy (according to the indirect accusation on their user page) is the very same User:67.159.26.71 as appeared at Polyamory. It's easily possible NPOVenforcer is just following 71 around, but the alternative possibilities mean their comparative editing habits bear watching.  — Saxifrage | ☎ 08:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

            He's also backing the same anonymous editor on Capitalism and related political ideologies for which he has added User:Mihnea Tudoreanu to his hitlist. Given that thus far he only champions that anonymous editor's work and has yet to look for an NPOV issue elsewhere to 'enforce', I find it extremely hard to believe his assertions that they are different people.

            The irony is that if he keeps up this sort of behavior he probably will have a "cabal" of people who oppose him. Kit 09:16, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

            p.s. I find it especially amusing that he has not only accused me of libelling him, but libelling his user page as well. I didn't know it was possible to libel inanimate objects! Kit 09:17, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
            I've been reading some of the edits and the voice is similar (though lacks character enough that it's hardly decisive). Also, Ne's comment at Wikipedia talk:Neutral point of view compared against 71's edit history shows a significant match of opinion on the state of Wikipedia's cosmology articles. Do you know if there is a way to request a sock check without going through dispute resolution?  — Saxifrage | ☎ 09:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

            I created a Wikipedia:Requests for comment/NPOVenforcer Please visit and add this comment list, thanks for the heads up. Dominick (ŤαĿĶ) 12:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

            Thanks for telling him, I was waiting to ask an admin to do this. I do not trust people like this, out of my own bad experiences. I would like him to remove the list, in it's entirety. I imagine he is the same person who argued the issue on Objectivist Philosophy. Dominick (ŤαĿĶ) 16:07, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] NPOVenforcer

            I've removed it- as an involved party, it wouldn't have been suggested for you to do so personally. There's a chance another admin will unblock, so don't expect NPOVenforcer to be gone forever. But I personally think the name, combined with his/her actions, warrant an indefinite block in this case. Ral315 (talk) 06:18, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

            Fast, yes. I guess I spend to much time watching my watchlist! ;) I have been trying to inform people of their listings on his list so they wouldn't be attacked behind their back so I was watching his user page and the RfC. Kit 06:29, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

            re your post on my talk page: Interesting. I didn't know that, thank you! FT2 08:26, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

            New incarnation, same verbage and edit habits. "Harald88" Dominick (ŤαĿĶ) 21:49, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

            Respectfully,I think you are incorrect: Harald88 is far more prolific, predates NPOVenforcer, and disagreed with him in his most recent comment to to the RfC on NPOVenforcer (he just added it today). NPOVenforcer may have looked to harald88 as a potential ally but I believe they are different people -- neither a sock puppet nor a meat puppet but an actual other person.

            [edit] redirects

            hi kit- just cleared out hallucinogenic (redirect) but there seem to be about a dozen pages still linked to it that i can't find the link on- particularly mushroom articles. any thoughts? --Heah talk 17:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

            Damn that's confusing! I looked at them and managed to eliminate a couple of the items from the list but the rest have me stumped. Why mostly mushrooms? And only some of the mushrooms we deal with, at that? I will look again later when I am more fresh but in the meantime you might want to take this up with the Wikiproject. Kit 18:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

            More weirdness- every talk page with the project template on it comes up as being linked to hallucinogenic drug), eg talk:Albert Hofmann . . . --Heah talk 18:36, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

            [edit] Kenji Siratori

            Thank you for catching the copyvio on Kenji Siratori. I discovered that page just today, checking up on recent changes in cyberpunk. Someone had written him into the lead, mentioning him in the same breath as Bruce Sterling and William Gibson; OK, so those two aren't exactly my cup of mate, but a writer would have to be pretty darn influential to deserve placement there. I have provisionally removed Siratori from that article (it's clear he doesn't belong in the lead, at least), and I worked up a quick stub at Kenji Siratori/Temp to address NPOV and copyvio issues.

            Anville 15:10, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

            Yes, an anonymous editor keeps appearing both to edit Kenji Siratori and to add Siratori's name to numerous other articles relating to science fiction -- for example, I also deleted Siratori's Blood Electric from Sex in science fiction because he had added it to the list of notable works without any comment as to what made the sexuality in it notable, and damned if I could figure out what it was about from any of the reviews or descriptions on line. Needless to say, that's when I discovered that the text of Kenji Siratori was ripped verbatim from the Blood Electric publicity materials on the Creation Books page. So if you see Siratori's name added to an article, check the other contributions by that IP address; chances are it is being added to other articles too.

            My one concern is that there may be an issue verifying the fact that it really is a copyright violation if the publisher's website doesn't come back soon. I will probably try to dig it up via archive.org.

            Incidentally, some of the reviews of his book on Amazon are quite funny too, especially the one that includes an excerpt of the (incomprehensible) text.Kit 10:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

            I went through the "what links here" for the Siratori article and removed the most egregious insertions. Some mentioned him in contexts which were chronologically impossible—when you're born in 1975 and first published in 2002, some things just don't work. Some of the remaining mentions are questionable, but it would require a little more research to determine if they are outright fabrications or not. Anville 14:56, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
            The list of removals I made, if you were curious, is as follows: Craig Clevenger, List of industrial music subgenres, Techno-progressivism, Post-Futurism, Splatterpunk, Cyberculture, Electronic art, Futurism (art), Internet art, Arthur Rimbaud, Magic realism, Trent Reznor, Experiment, Postcyberpunk, William S. Burroughs, New Wave (science fiction) (one of the chronological impossibilities), Minimalism, James Joyce, David Bowie (a nice irrelevant mention) and Bruce Sterling (which claimed Siratori was a "founder" of cyberpunk). Anville 16:27, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
            Good work! In addition, I have made the following changes: Postcyberpunk was alphabetized so Siratori was not at the top of the list of authors, although I left Siratori himself in Transgressional fiction I removed his Blood Electric from the list of "major" works, I also removed Blood Electric from Transgressional art; finally he was removed from List of performance artists, List of bisexuals, and List of anarchists because his article makes no mention of those associations and relevant Google searches came up empty. His other current mentions look at least minimally appropriate, at least for now. If this is self-promotion it is certainly a novel form given that he had been added to List of self-harmers (but was already removed by another editor before I got there)! We should keep an eye out for this behavior in the future. Kit 23:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
            I also nixed him from Avant-garde due to being also mentioned on Postcyberpunk, Bizarro, and Cyberpunk genre discussions -- there are only so many genres one minor author can belong too, no? Finally, I left a note for Jameswilliamson who was responsible for some of the edits -- Wikipedia:Assume good faith prevents me from speculating on whether he was also responsible for the more egregious anonymous edits. Kit 00:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
            Thanks for the barnstar. My very firstest! <snif> "I'd like to thank the Academy..." Oops, that's my speech for when Warren Ellis, Darren Aronofsky and I share the Best Screenplay Oscar for Transmetropolitan: The Movie starring Patrick Stewart, Uma Thurman, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kenneth Branagh.
            And keep doing the good work for WikiProject Psychedelics. That's one of the many places I'd like to add my brainpower, had I world enough and time. (Never been to Burning Man myself, but ooh boy have my friends brought back stories...) Anville 15:39, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
            I just thought of a great Sokal-esque thing to do with the Kenji Siratori article. Under "Quotations", we could throw in some sentences like, "BLOOD->DNA flesh altered by genes/MEMES. Oncomemes thrashing in the afterdeath of 1,000 burning babies -- hope://null." and see if anyone can tell them apart from the real thing. Not that I'd ever disrupt WP to make a point, of course—but sometimes it's so... tempting... Anville 15:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

            You are welcome -- you took an extra step and in the process cleaned up a problem in a lot of articles that might have gone unnoticed for some time unless one of us got around to doing it so I felt you were deserving.

            Love the speech, and love the fantasy Transmet cast even more -- well done. I love Burning Man -- my first experience at a local event changed my life for sure, and going to the Big Burn twice was great too. I like the wikiproject a lot and while I try to do what I can I, also, do not have nearly as much time or as brainpower as I wish.

            Great fake text, that kind of culture jamming is hugely tempting here sometimes I agree. I resist the urge but in my mind I fantasize about the things I could do. Good thing fantasy is safe!

            I showed Siratori's overblown bio and the list of articles we deleted him from to an author friend of mine tonight -- someone who is in the main wikipedia namespace and, unlike Siratori is totally qualified and also, unlike Siratori apparently, writes books with plots -- and we had a good laugh coming up with overblown biographical data we could add to his article to make it similar. Maybe what we need is to start the 'Egopedia project', where anyone can have a vanity page as long as it is up to "The Siratori Standard." Kit 08:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

            Because all of this amused me I wrote up a post about it to the Wikipedians community on LiveJournal. Kit 18:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
            The anon IP 210.141.116.57 edited the temporary page before it got copied over to replace the copyvio text. Consequently, I had to trim Siratori-san's article down to size, again. At least this time it was only NPOV, not copyvio. . . . Anville 16:01, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

            I thought it looked nifty that way but I can certainly do so -- do you have a suggestion, i.e. from the waist up? Kit 22:06, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
            Or maybe just a head shot? Kit 22:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
            I uploaded a new, cropped headshot of the author. How is this? I would be happy to make any changes you want although my photoshoppery is limited. He was quite happy to pose for a Wikipedia shot, btw, and is amused by his entry here. Cheers! Kit 22:25, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
            • Looks great. Thanks. More than anything it was being off center that bugged me. Don't worry about photoshop stuff. Thanks again. Wikibofh(talk) 22:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

            You're welcome. I wasn't too hung up on the full-size image anyway since I accidentally cut off his cowboy boots when I took the photo. I really wanted the full ensemble. :) Kit 22:48, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

            [edit] Eeyore's Birthday Party

            I've made two administrative edits to the Eeyore's Birthday Party article. 1) I removed a red link for an article on the guy who started the festival. You got an AFD vote by creating the article - that was overcome handsomely of course - but you might be tempting fate to go and create a seperate article on the founder, or invite others to. If the person is notable for other reasons go ahead and put the link back in, but I clicked the red link and checked the 'what links here' and he only got a link from Eeyore's Birthday Party. That suggests non-notable. 2) I removed the cleanup tag as I see nothing wrong with the article compared to the average. --kingboyk 01:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

            Thanks! I wasn't planning on doing one on the founder but I totally see your point -- this is probably his only notability. I appreciate removal of the cleanup tag but of course any improvement suggestions you have are appreciated. :) I am working on fixing the references now so the footnotes work properly. Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 02:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
            Yep, if he's notable only for the festival he gets his mention there :) Red links are an invite to create an article so use them liberally :) - don't be afraid to use them by any means, but use them wisely. --kingboyk 02:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC) P.S. Hope to see you at Eeyore's Birthday Party, it looks like a blast!
            It is a total blast, be sure to attend (and let me know:) if you are ever in this part of Texas at the right time of year. There are also number of other similar events around that time -- the Bob Marley Festival is typically a week before and Burning Flipside takes place the following month. Despite its location in conservative Texas, Austin is a great hippie college town and totally worth a visit. Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 02:05, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

            [edit] 65.182.172.x

            I noticed that you have had interactions with the anonymous user 65.182.172.x on Talk:Burning Man. Cyberdenizen and I have filed a user conduct RfC on this user and your input would be much appreciated. You can read it at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/65.182.172.x. Thanks! - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 03:48, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

            Although I certainly had some uncivil interactions with this user, as of our last interaction we had both agreed to "bury the hatchet." My few interactions with him since then have been civil enough. It is unfortunate to hear he has apparently continued his uncivil behavior elsewhere on the wiki, but due to where we left off I feel it is best if I personally abstain from comment at this time. Thanks for letting me know about the RfC, however, I will certainly be watching it. Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 22:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

            Prometheuspan 03:15, 8 February 2006 (UTC) If you would have reverted it, I'd have quit playing the wikipedia game, methinks...I am sorry for creating chaos and stress for anybody tho, and I knew that was a likely outcome, but i just couldn't leave the article alone knowing it was as _off_ as it was. Thanks fer doing a great Job rewriting my rewrite, I'll try to contribute the small chunks it still needs in the next week or so. Anyways, thanks, and sorry, and thanks again. Prometheuspan 03:15, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

            I was pretty confused by it too, and honestly thought abot reverting but I am glad that we waited. Although I think the current article needs work, I do think the long-term effect of your contributions was overall to improve the article. It just caused some chaos in the meantime, like you said. I would say the more communication with the other editors on the page the better, as it tends to help minimize this sort of confusion. Having to find the discussion on your talk page was less optimal than if you'd opened a discussion of your changes, as you made them, on Talk:Psychonaut. Just my .02, I do appreciate your good faith efforts to improve the article. Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 21:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

            [edit] Disambiguation pages

            I noticed that you recently reverted my edit to Ranger. Per MoS:DP, disambiguation pages should not contain extraneous links that do not directly disambiguate. I quote from the first paragraph:

            Disambiguation pages ("dab pages") are, like redirects, non-article pages in the article namespace. Disambiguation pages are solely intended to allow users to choose among several Wikipedia articles, usually when a user searches for an ambiguous term. This style guideline is intended to make this process more efficient by giving disambiguation pages a consistent look and avoiding distracting information, such as extraneous links (internal or external).

            [edit] User PGP

            Cool idea, but after seeing yours, I realized that having a public key on a wiki is not the best of ideas, because anybody can edit it. Man-in-the-middle attack, and all. Off the top of my head, I can think of hosting it elsewhere, or making it available on public keyservers. --Christopherlin 03:05, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

            Damn I hadn't thought of that. I will adjust the template for offsite keyhosting. Thanks! Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 03:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
            Done! Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 04:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

            [edit] just dropping in to say hey

            hey man what's up. Remember me? It hasnt been too too long, you should remember. Anyways, just dropping in to see how things are going for you. About a week ago I got out of Sheppard Pratt because of ongoing and depression and suicidal thoughts. I also got kicked out of school when that happened, and a few days ago i learned that I am expelled from school so I have to go to an alternative school. It all started pretty much because of me getting caught with a bunch of shit at school (weed, and then what do you know i had Aleve/Naproxen (it's like prescription tylenol) in my pocket, and then i had cigarettes) Apparently some kid in my class told the teacher i smelled like weed so she sent me to the office and they searched my locker and shit dude. Anyways, thats pretty much it for me. How've things been for you? --Xer0X 14:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

            I've started putting together an Infobox that can go on the Burning Man type events pages. When you have a few moments and can look at the example I've put together, I'd appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks, and Burn On! SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 14:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

            [edit] Burning Man Userbox

            Hi! I made a Burning Man Userbox and fleshed out the corresponding category page. I'm fairly new to this, so I'd appreciate some gentle pointers if I got it wrong. I originally put it in the user space, but I thought it was safer to keep it in my userspace - or would it be kosher for me to make it global?

            Thanks! Oh, yeah, and please add the box to your page!
