[edit] VAWA - Immigration Information

Adding information about VAWA in regards to immigration would be a worthy addition to the VAWA topic. Civil rights attorney Roy Den Hollander is challenging portions of VAWA which allow immigrants ( men and women ) to circumvent the U.S. immigration process with false abuse complaints.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.3.102.227 (talk) 07:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, but you know anyone can edit articles so if you have reliable sources for this information you could add it. There is a summary of wikipedia's policies for attribution at WP:ATT and verification at WP:V--Cailil ^talk 12:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] anacapa comments

Thanks for the heads-up. I have no problem with my comments being removed. I had no idea he was a baned user. --Enric Naval (talk) 18:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The only reason I know is because I've been dealing with this guy's disruption for over 18 months - *sigh*. Anyway thanks for the reply and for understanding--Cailil ^talk 18:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Michel Foucault Talk Page

Please refrain from leaving troll messages on my talk page. The place to discuss the Foucault issue is in the discussion page for the article. Additionally, your claim that the issue is closed is far from true. There has been no consensus reached, and no rebuttal of the sources provided. Cheers, 38.117.213.19 (talk) 20:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

You have already been directed to relevant site policy. Please review it--Cailil ^talk 12:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Insisting on the acceptance of your personal unsourced opinion is unhelpful. Please provide sources if you would like a specific viewpoint included in an article. Perhaps this issue would be better dealt with in the talk page for Michel Foucault. Best, 38.117.213.19 (talk) 05:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Anon you have it backwards -you have to prove your additions are up to site standard - please stop editing tendentiously--Cailil ^talk 09:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Also consider this a warning, calling users trolls incorrectly - that is without evidence showing bad faith additions or refusal to hear site policy or consenus - is uncivil and carries a template warning if you do it again I will ask for sysop attention in regard to behaviour here and on the talk page of Michel Foucault. If you have a serious rather than spurious concern about my editing contact a sysop for their views on it--Cailil ^talk 22:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Theatre May 2008 Newsletter

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter! Issue 3 - May, 2008 Welcome to our third newsletter - we've got lots to get through this month so without further ado, let's crack on... The Big Debate - Character Lists in Play Articles For those of you who haven't headed over to our talk page recently - you've been missing out! Throughout the past month there's been great discussion about the issue of character lists in play articles. The aim is to form a standard presentation of character lists to be used on all play articles so if you'd like to make your voice heard on the issue then check out the talk page now. Collaboration of The Month Yet again this month's COTM has remained unchanged as no-one has nominated any articles to become the new incumbent. Quick - get yourself down to the COTM page and nominate an article for next month! Assessment The number of articles at the Assessment page are growing - if you're feeling a little lost and don't know where to begin to help us out, head on down to the Assessment page and give us a hand. New members The past month has seen Dereksmootz, Duckie for broadway, Dozenthey, Fewster, Nrswanson, Kleinzach and Broadweighbabe join us - welcome to you all! It's wonderful to see such a large influx of new members. If you've been editing a theatre-related article recently and noticed another user helping you who also appears to have an interest for the subject of theatre, why not drop them a line and invite them over to the project? HELP! We're crying out for people to help us out wherever possible. We are currently looking for members to volunteer to give us a hand in several areas. If you can do any of the following, please drop us a line at the talk page: Newsletter Editor(s) - Always fancied yourself as a bit of a journalist? Perhaps you could help us write this newsletter - it doesn't take long to compile. Maybe you'd like to help but can't commit on a regular basis? In that case, why not rally round a few other members of the project to help you out and take it in turns each month to compose the newsletter? Mailmen/women - If writing the newsletter isn't your bag then maybe you could help in the distribution of this fine document? As our membership grows it becomes quite labourious to send it to everyone. It's only a quick task that needs doing once a month, and really is just a case of copying and pasting a template onto our members talk pages. Portal editor(s) - It's come to our attention that the Theatre Portal hasn't been updated in a long time and we'd like to get someone, or a group of people to take charge of it and get it up to the standard of some of the great portals out there (e.g. the Comedy Portal, the Solar System Portal etc). And finally... Don't forget to add the WikiProject Theatre userbox to your userpage to spread the word about the project!

[edit] Just "hey,"

Well, that was pretty quick, huh? Slrubenstein | Talk 19:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

It'd be great if all the trolls under the bridge were as obvious wouldn't it. But I think I need a day off now after all that though--Cailil ^talk 19:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

You deserve a little break! Slrubenstein | Talk 19:30, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

BTW did you see my suggestion for the reword of the lede of feminism at the bottom of the 2nd section break. It's probably lost somewhere in my 18 or so edits to the talk page :/ --Cailil ^talk 19:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I would write, "Feminism comprises a number of social, cultural and political movements, theories and moral philosophies united by the politics of women's rights, gender difference, and gender inequality" which I think would cover more flavors of feminism. Slrubenstein | Talk 20:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Gender difference *slaps forehead* - the lede doesn't address that properly at all yet. Generally it sounds good to me except I verge on saying "equality of the sexes" rather than "gender inequality"--Cailil ^talk 20:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hows about this as a compromise suggestion--Cailil ^talk 23:25, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nice Work

I just noticed the work you are doing on the Feminism page and wanted to thank you for your thoughtful efforts. Kukini ^{háblame aquí} 14:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note Kukini, much appreciated :)--Cailil ^talk 14:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re:question about final fantasy wiki

Yes, if the user request it, or if the userpage has elements which administrators feel is not suitable to be placed in the Wiki. Might I ask why? — Blue。 15:01, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Type {{vfd}} on top of the page. An admin will delete it when they make their cleanup bit. You could also contact an admin in the wiki to do it for you, and put in reasons so that they'll understand why you want to have it deleted. — Blue。 15:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] History

Thanks for the note and the historical information. I agree with Mastcell that a user conduct RfC is in order regarding those two editors. However, if the conduct continues as it has been, I will take appropriate action - with or without an RfC in place. Dreadstar † 18:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Just to follow up, I see Dreadstar blocked Jagz for 24 hours for Jagz' continued inappropriate behavior, after which Jagz put up the "retired" template. I'll keep an eye on this. If Jagz resumes editing, then I think a finite topic ban (3-6 months) on any article even loosely tied to race/intelligence would be appropriate, and I'd be willing to impose this and take it to WP:AN/I for feedback. MastCell ^Talk 16:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

To answer your question about meatpuppetry: it's hard to do much pre-emptively, other than be aware. Off-wiki solicitation is an extremely common phenomenon (come visit AIDS denialism sometime if you want to see it in action). It's difficult to "prove", and we can't do anything about what people do off-wiki. In the past I created the {{recruiting}} template, and I've used it on affected talk pages, but again there isn't much that can be done other than to be wise to the situation. ArbCom is grappling with the issue in a fairly high-profile case at the moment: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/CAMERA lobbying. Happy editing. MastCell ^Talk 16:53, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
