User talk:Blockinblox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, I just started my account on en.wikipedia with the Username Blockinblox, and was immediately blocked by Curps. For 'explanation', he wrote that I have to contact an admin for 'verifiability'. Come on, I haven't even made any posts here yet and my name is not offensive. I have accounts on several other wikis. What gives? Do you need me to prove that I am the same Blockinblox as on another wiki?
I would have emailed Curps, but he doesn't take email. I would like to be unblocked ASAP, I am a serious editor and haven't done anything wrong, okay. Thanks. Also, could you respond on my talk page at en.wikipedia, it's kind of a pain (although not impossible) to get to this yahoo account. Much appreciated,
Blockinblox.
- I've unblocked you; I guess Curps thought you were a vandal who has been around a lot today under various names. Adam Bishop 23:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Okay thanks...
Thanks...! If any of the other folks I contacted sees this, sorry to waste your time, thanks anyway, and thanks for giving me a chance... Amor, BLockinblox
Do you have any sources for saying that clerics has been jailed in scandinavia? Sounds like made up echochamber stuff to me --BernieLomax 19:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vital Articles problem and possible solution
I've listed an idea at the village pump and on the vital articles talkpage in repsonses to your complaint on the lack of cross-cultural integration in the list. What do you think?--The ikiroid (talk/parler/hablar/paroli/说/話) 21:29, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] nice
[1] -- here is an example of what I consider "moderately scary": [2]. And here is an example of what I consider a heroic cleanup effort in the interest of the project: [3]. dab (𒁳) 19:25, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- OK, you're right, At first glance, it looks like a big improvement, so far. And no, I have not researched much about the Kamboja people. I have heard of them too; I know enough to know that they are a real people, not a fringe theory, but one that for some reason generic history books try to avoid, and only specialist books address. I only hope that you are not going to delete too much information about them, but I will have to trust your discretion, I suppose - I just thought it was only fair that the actual experts who have researched very much on the subject and have worked on the article, be alerted to things going on over their heads.

- indeed -- I have no interest in deleting valuable information, and the "Kamboja continuum" contains a wealth of references, all thrown into an unstructured heap. Don't be misled by the "fringe" moniker, I wouldn't dream of claiming the Kambojas, as such, are "fringe". But this is a case of WP:SYN, and of seriously heavy {{cleanup}}, and the "SYN" in question does involve various "fringe" bits, such as "Aratta", and the persistent harping on the a Central Asian homeland (which is a plausible hypothesis without much consequence to the topic itself). dab (𒁳) 20:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
you are making a fool of yourself now. If you want to draw attention to WP:FTN, just do it, but try to avoid silly rhetorics like "ominous, behind-the scenes". WP:FTN is neither ominous nor behind the scenes. I have dealt with ominous, behind the scenes "projects", they are coordinated off-wiki, in closed yahoo groups. Your WP:POINT appears to be that it has been "vetoed" to leave a note on article talkpages. You are wrong. Nobody has every "vetoed" such a thing. There is nothing wrong with posting notices to talkpages. All that I (and others) have said was that it isn't proper to demand every article talked about somewhere else on Wikipedia mandatorily needs to be notified of the fact. WP:UCS. If you want to make it your job to "notify" people of discussions on noticeboards, feel free to do that, as long as people don't tell you to stop spamming them with notifications of discussions they have no interest in, there is nothing wrong with that. dab (𒁳) 13:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
