[edit] Rfc on "Intellectual controversy" section of Oxford Round Table

I have made a request for comment [1] on the "Intellectual controversy" section of the Oxford Round Table article, which I notice you edited today. Would you like to participate? --Tony Sidaway 02:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict of interest warning

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Oxford Round Table, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

[edit] AfD nomination of Oxford Round Table

An editor has nominated Oxford Round Table, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oxford Round Table and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. ColdmachineTalk 23:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

I have blocked this as a disruptive single purpose account. Guy (Help!) 20:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

{unblock|process for dealing with (allegedly) disruptive editors has not been followed in this case - why on earth have you jumped right to blocking me? "Disruptive editing" calls for addressing me on my talk page, then RfC, then ANI, and only then block. My early edits were problematic, yes, but I have gotten a few big clues since then and now have a clear understanding of what it takes to play by the rules here.}Nomoskedasticity (talk) 00:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I've also asked for a review of all of the blocks that Guy made at the AN/I thread that seems to have sparked this. Pairadox (talk) 01:23, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

See similar request at User talk:Jrichardstevens. Cool Hand Luke 05:30, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I find no evidence of disruption. Unblocked with blocking admin's consent at WP:ANI.

Request handled by: Sandstein (talk) 16:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ANI thread (blocks by JzG)

For your information, the block is being discussed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Review of three of the above blocks. Carcharoth (talk) 00:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your persistent efforts on this. I have left a few comments at the bottom of that AN/I section ("Summary of account activity"). Main thing is, it is very reassuring to see people doing the sort of review that you and a few others have done on this issue. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 17:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Autoblock

I am currently on "autoblock" - I was blocked by "Guy" but am now unblocked by Sandstein (with Guy's assent). Autoblock appears to have nicked my IP address and is preventing me from editing even though the direct block has now been lifted.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Autoblock removed. --B (talk) 11:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppets?

If anyone is concerned about the possibility that I might be involved in sockpuppets on the ORT article, please see WP:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Drstones for my response to the "likely" finding on CU. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Renomination of ORT article for deletion

I have been unstruck at the AfD page. Your comments should be welcome, too. Heck, the "Notavote" template says so explicitly.Academic38 (talk) 21:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No Double Bluffing Please

Nomoskedasticity.. I would appreciate no personal attacks. PigeonPiece (talk) 05:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

But darling, I couldn't possibly have been more polite - courteous - inviting - welcoming! I am ready to be floored by your wisdom and bravery! Nomoskedasticity (talk) 14:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Where do you find all those cool icons for your user page?

Where do you find all those cool icons for your user page? I copied one (this user is an academic), but obviously some of what you have there doesn't apply to me. Thanks.Academic38 (talk) 18:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] reply

Thanks for the comment Pini00001 (talk) 06:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] reply

Let me refresh my memory. I'll leave a reply on the talk page once I have done so.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 20:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Speedy

Could you point me towards the article, perchance? I've forgotten the title. I do remember what it was about though, and there were quite a few reliable sources using it as a main source for their articles, so (in my opinion) it's notable. Of course, you can go through AfD anyway if you'd like, but I'll try a rewrite first. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 13:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Change

Thanks for informing me! Your help is appreciated -- Shaahin Shaahin (talk) 22:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

One more question, can you add the source to the sources list? I took the information about Jerusalem from here: 1- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jerusalem_(614) 2-http://www.wzo.org.il/en/resources/view.asp?id=222

[edit] the love of pasta

i've been laughing for a whole minute because of your comment here. Bangpound (talk) 21:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Mostly, wikipedia doesn't lend itself to humour - things get very serious; it's nice to lighten the tone when possible. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your revert.....

May I trouble you to expound upon your view of the external links policy? Which section in particular are you referring to? (If I didn't hold you in such high esteem, I would have reverted your revert immediately.)
--NBahn 00:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

That's odd, my signature doesn't seem to be posting properly.....
--NBahn 00:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words. I don't have anything against the content of the link - I just don't see why to include this particular article and not a multitude of others. And then it becomes a question of keeping links to a minimum as per WP:EL. If you want to point to a characteristic of that one that meets some other criterion in WP:EL, I won't make a fuss - I'm usually pretty relaxed about seeing my edits altered. cheers, Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
