[edit] Before drawing false conclusions and arriving at blatant misinterepretations, read CAREFULLY!

Here [1] I am being besmothered with HOMOSEXUALITY by Tabib, which he has extended to my USER PAGE!!!

--Baku Ibne 11:52, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Okay, let's examine this step by step. In your entry on Vandalism in progress you stated "Very unsavory attack on my userpage [2] by vandal Tabib who is trying to besmother my reputation with talk about him and myself in connection with "HOMOSEXUALITY", in public. I categorically object to Tabib'advances..." What he wrote on your talk page was in no way an "unsavory attack" nor did he make any "advances." The wording you used implied that Tabib has been making homosexual advances toward you. Nothing could be further from the truth. In his post on your talk page he did not mention homosexuality at all. In the post you linked to on my talk page, he does mention that he researched the word "ibne" and found that it had homosexual connotations in Turkish (a true statement). That was after you wrote in this post "YOU ARE 100 percent "IBNE", Tabib!" Tabib did not make an "unsavory attack" on either your user or user talk pages, he has not attempted to imply that you are homosexual (although it appears that you may have attempted to imply that about him), and he has made no "advances" toward you. Your entry on Vandalism in progress was blatantly untrue. I removed it for that reason and informed you of that. You see, I did read carefully. SWAdair | Talk 07:26, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:Vaoverland - administrator

Thank you for supporting my appointment as an administrator. I appreciate the pat on the back this represents. It felt nice to read the comments during the voting. Please let me know if you see something I should be doing as admin, as I intend to be fairly passive unless it is clear I should do otherwise. Thanks. Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 20:06, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting a comment about Naming Policies

Hello and greetings
I am an student from the National University of Saint Mark in Lima, Peru, or also called UNMSM.

First i want to say thank you to giving me wellcome to wikipedia and as wikipedist i wish to have your personal opinion about the naming policy of calling the university Saint Mark instead San Marcos.

I am supporting Saint Mark based in the opinion of the Catholic Church (the same institution which named the university in the first place) precedent of anglicise the name.[[3]] Article from Catholic Encyclopedia.

This user called User:Viajero is trying to impose his point of view even without reach a compromise about the use of the anglicise name, by his own is destroying and modifying all articles that has the name National University of Saint Mark replacing by his point of view of the name.

I am still a newcomer to wikipedia, but i dont think so i deserve to be treated this way. Please it is urgently to have your opinion about this in the following link Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Interpretation of WP Naming_policies.Thank you to take time to read my dissertation. Have peace and prosperity. HappyApple 04:23, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • I checked into it and I have to agree with Viajero on this one. The English-speaking world seems to overwhelmingly use "San Marcos" when referring to this institution. SWAdair | Talk 11:08, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: double admin

When I had my nickname renamed, I implicitly gave up the right to edit as shallot, we had agreed that it will remain reserved and pointing to myself in order to avoid confusion with old references (or if someone tries to register that account and impersonate my old self :). If you ever see me abuse this, please feel free to report me to the authorities for semi-immediate banning :) --Joy [shallot] 11:56, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for voting for me for adminship. I appreciate the confidence you showed in me. — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:13, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Block

I didn't have any problem. Are you trying to block by clicking on the [block] link, or by typing in the User's name? Don't use "User:" at the beginning.

Want me to do it? RickK 07:29, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

How odd. I'd discuss it with a developer, if I were you. Maybe bring it up at WP:AN/I? RickK 07:41, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

How did your test go on the other computer? RickK 19:53, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

It seems RickK beat me to it :) But feel free to call me in the future. --Joy [shallot] 23:55, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Elysian Fields

Don't know where to tell you, but I marked it for speedy deletion because there's two, so I just moved the Discography to the other one, which had the same information (except for the discography, like I mentioned.) Ductapedaredevil 16:48, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)


[edit] I noticed that the edit summary says "Transwikied to Wikipedia".  :-)

Opps. I've fixed that little bug. Thanks for pointing it out. Kevin Rector 20:48, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Hello, I have a request about San Marcos

Hello, I'm a person that its constantly looking on some wikipedia stubs and always tries to add more information to them. However, on the page of National_University_of_San_Marcos, I realise that most of what another user (I think is Hasdrubal) does is delete some information withouth a proper disscussion.

HappyApple took the proyect to expand the info about the University, regardless if its call "San Marcos" (wich I think is correct) or "Saint Mark" (Wich I don't abject also) and I think it's a little unfair that most of his work is ignored by some other user. It may be dificult to understant, It is true (since english is not his native language) but this could easely being solve by asking the help of another experimented grammatic Wikipedist.

I have reverted the page to the last modification of HappyApple and I will request that another english-wikipedist take a look and help me to arrange it and make it more accurate. Please fell free to reply at my talk page. Thanks a lot for your help. Messhermit 03:31, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • (Cross-posted to User_talk:Messhermit) Thank you for the note on my talk page. It seemed to me that the version I reverted to retained most of the substance of the article, but apparently more than one person (you and HappyApple, at least) feel otherwise. I will try to make some time later to edit HappyApple's version for grammar only. After I do, I'll drop you a note asking you to review my edit for accuracy, to make sure I didn't accidentally change the meaning of anything. Happy editing! SWAdair | Talk 03:48, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! The article looks much better now. I will find info about the ALumni section, an leave only the ones that have an Article. Once Again, Thanks. Messhermit 15:19, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi SWAdair -

it seems that Messhermit was put off by Viajero's welcome notice on my page (to judge from his reply). I am quite grateful to HappyApple for having written an initial version of the San Marcos article; however, his English is not very good, and the page needed some major pruning and reshaping, anyhow. It seems that HappyApple is even newer than I am to Wikipedia, and feels personally hurt when a single one of his sentences is deleted - I know his feeling. Hasdrubal 17:51, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pending deletion

Thanks for pointing me to the template. Niteowlneils 22:07, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Hey Stephen, thank you so much for voting for me in my adminship nomination, and for your kind comment. I really appreciate your support. I hope you'll give me a shout if you see me doing anything I shouldn't, or not doing something I should. ;-) Best, SlimVirgin 03:23, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My photos

Hi Stephen, Thanks for your comments, and I have been thinking of really doing up my page in flash with a nice scrolling album etc. But I don't know whether it will play in Wikipedia or how to insert it. Perhaps you can help? Um, another thing, I would like it if you would add your comments in my mini-featured pix candidates, as it's hard to pick between the series I often upload! [FPCandidates] Thanks --Fir0002 04:06, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you (CHL)

I'm pleased to be noticed. I think I'm going to take my friend JonMoore's advice and stay out of wikipolitics for a while. It's much less stressful to just write articles. Cool Hand Luke 07:46, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for you support and kind words in my request for adminship. Your trust in me will not be disappointed. Now, I'm off to put these new powers to good use! -- Scott eiπ 02:38, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the deletion!

Thank you for taking the time to delete. I'm a new wikipedia and was finding my way around and accidentally created those articles and their copies. Greetings, --Dynamax 18:36, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Terms of disparagment vs. common use insults

Recent redirect may not quite qualify as a "Term of disparagement" and may be better served as a link to Insult or, likewise, the updated entry in Wiktionary. As a term of common-usage, may be apt to make more accurate distinctions between relatively benign terms such as that and ethnic slurs.

Kudos.

--JMWZ 22:06, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You!

Hi SWAdair,

I would like to thank you for your vote of support and confidence for my adminship, it has been much appreciated. If you need anything in future that requires my attention, please do not hesitate to contact me. :)

[edit] Thanks for your considered comments

Thank-you for your well considered comments on the VfD for my article. Even though we don't reach the same conclusion, I do appreciate your very thoughtful approach. --GrantNeufeld 01:53, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello SWadair, I'm not sorry for putting my "No sysop is above the law" message on Neutrality's talk page; Now I'll tell you why I did so. While looking on Wikipedia's Block Log I noted you had blocked Neutrality (Ben Locke) for the period of 24 hours and a big smile came on my face. The reason why I was so happy Neutrality had been blocked was because he was rude to me in the past. This reminds of the time a classmate of mine (named Meggie) in the Second grade didn't do a her homework; I was so happy that day! I never did my homework, but because she was a mean to me I was quite happy when she did get in trouble for not doing it. --Anon

  • In other words... spite, gloating, taunting, revenge and related negative reasons. I understand the desire, but I really don't think it was appropriate. You could have felt the same satisfaction without deliberately antagonizing him. We are here to build an encyclopedia. It helps everyone when each edit we make is not only accurate, but professional, civil and directed toward the community goal. I understand why you did it, but I don't think two wrongs make a right. Please give that some thought. SWAdair | Talk 23:06, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Surviving VfD

Thanks for taking "care of the red-tape side of things" on the VfD on my article. I'm (as you might expect) quite relieved that it survived given the time and effort I put in to making it meet WP standards, content-wise. Thanks again for your work and contributions to the discussion on this (and the other places I've seen you pop up here). -GrantNeufeld 11:10, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

Hi buddy, how you doing? I need you to look at LaLa Vasquez. I tried to put a copyright notice but, I don't think I did it right. Let me know and then I'll look it over so that next time I'll get it right. Take care Tony the Marine

Belated Thank You, Tony the Marine

[edit] Your admirable ethics and diligence

Maybe there needs to be a Wikipedia Barnstar for upholding the principles and community interests of WP - you definitely would merit one. Thank-you, yet again, for your thoughtful and considered contributions. You put very clearly the problem with letting votes be revoted continuously. I really appreciate your efforts here, so please consider me a supporter and feel free to call on me if you need help with any Wikipedia stuff. Thanks, GrantNeufeld 20:26, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Well done

On the "contributions" of 203.101.81.98! You cleared all them up amazingly rabidly! Well done! --195.7.55.146 10:50, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is that a typo I see above, or is this a backhanded compliment?-gadfium 23:53, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • LOL! I think it is a typo. Just a minute before I began rollbacking the spammer, 195.7.55.146 had reverted the spam inserted into Current Events. I assume he went looking to see if there was any more spam that needed cleaning up after and found me "rabidly" taking care of it.  :-) SWAdair | Talk 05:55, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Hahahah.. Was that a Freudian slip :-P ? .. That was a Typo I can assure you! One day I'll learn to spell! --195.7.55.146 16:29, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Maybe Katie

Salve, SWAdair!
It's been a long while since we communicated, but nevertheless I hope this message find you well. Lately I've not fared well with my FAC nominees, some failing to win even one support vote. I wonder if you would look at Katie Holmes and its nomination here and offer your comments. PedanticallySpeaking 15:56, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gotti Pope Benedict XIV

I have to thanx you! :) (for quick improving of our wiki :) sk:redaktor:Liso 10:29, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • You're welcome. I saw a new Pope-related talk page appear on recent changes and looked into it immediately. SWAdair | Talk 10:45, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Buckshot

Just noticed that you blocked him for 24 hours. It would seem then that my personal complaint has been taken care of before I even brought it up! He left a rather nasty (but mostly confusing) message on my talk page sometime last night. No idea what brought it on. Anyway, just wanted to let somebody know to add it to the tally of his silliness. Cheers · Katefan0(scribble) 14:15, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

  • Ah, you're welcome. I was tracking him for a while -- almost seemed to be a wikianarchist. He was walking the line, pushing the bounds of acceptable behavior. When he finally stepped over the line (he hit a user page instead of a talk page), that was cause for a block. He's on my watchlist now, so we'll see. SWAdair | Talk 02:36, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • You might want to add User:AlexandraFuller and User:AllenGinsberg. Some strange references on my talk page -- first from the AF account, to which I responded on its talk page... then from the AG account, responding to my first response. A bit suspicious. · Katefan0(scribble) 04:30, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
      • And FeloniousHerzberg · Katefan0(scribble) 02:04, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
        • Add to that User:BobMyDylan, User:KamaFuuktra, User:YaddahSeeker, User:BobMeComma, User:Danglebury, User:Userpage Vandalism, and User:MuppetMadness. All speak like Buckshot, all are newly-created accounts whose first or earlier than tenth edit is to leave me bizarre, cryptic messages like Buckshot did. They edit each others' user pages and reply to messages I left for a different one, making it quite certain they are sockpuppets. I made the mistake of responding to them earlier, but it is becoming harrassing and disruptive, so I've stopped. — Knowledge Seeker দ 02:18, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

            • Thanks for the note! I appreciate it. Actually it doesn't bother me too much, I mostly find it amusing. He's clearly a smart, articulate guy who enjoys being anarchic; too bad he doesn't seem interested in really contributing.

[edit] Tagging for deletion

Huh...I don't remember blanking before tagging for deletion, though I was up too late last night, and I may have either accidentally or because it seemed like a good idea at the time. I'll make sure to leave any existing content in place when tagging in the future. -- Beland 23:12, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ahhh... Thanks

Your note is appreciated; it makes me feel so happy to know I'm noticed :). And now I've spread the joy by reading your userpage. I like your political independence, as I myself am a registered Green (I don't know if you're more of a liberal libertarian or not, but there's certainly a lot of libertarianism in my ideals). Also, I really enjoyed Invictus. I don't know if you are much of a poetry fan, but, incidentally, my favorite is Tichborne's Elegy, which is sort of by a prisoner of war of sorts. Anyway, enough fun, Dmcdevit, back to transwikis! --Dmcdevit 02:28, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Ah, good. And I just noticed I even forgot to link it. So simple, but so elegant and powerful. Makes me want to appreciate life every time I read it. Well, happy editing to you! --Dmcdevit 02:48, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wholism

I am new to wiki and have been trying to establish a wholism page, but have been subject to constant harrassment by a particular user. My initial contribution was put on delete a week or so ago supposedly by Mel Etis, but I noticed that the delete initially came from an alias page. Several people voted on the page, one of whom was just a page name, prior to me making significant additions including citations. Someone who again is only a page name has now deleted wholism and redirected it to holism. I am not familiar with wiki procedure, but I am slowly learning. Could you please confirm that what has happened to the wholism page is acceptable and if not, could you please re-establish it and offer it some sort of protection? --Ogb 05:46, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Thankyou for your reply. However, the consensus was not 2/3rd for redirection to holism. In addition I could quite easily have established name only pages to vote for the site as I believe one user has done.--Ogb 06:02, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again for your reply. Not a very pleasant introduction to the wiki site. I would just as soon delete my contribution entirely since it apparently won't be available for general viewing. Is there any way I can do this?--Ogb 06:39, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Whilst the redirection of wholism might have happened in accordance with the rules, the rules are dishonest. When the deletion notice was put on the page, the page held very little information. All the delete/redirect votes were based on the page as it then stood. The delete notice quite clearly stated that the page could be added to. I spent a considerable amount of time putting references, links, and further information on the page over the subsequent days. These quite clearly demonstrated that wholism and holism are not the same thing. The only vote that was made subsequent to this information being in place was a request for an edit to add a comparison between wholism and holism and a link between them. The earlier votes simply did not refer to the page as it stood when it was redirected. The voting process is dishonest and based more on some editors' prejudices than on the weighing of the evidence presented. Wholism is not holism whether my analysis of wholism is acceptable to wiki or not, and it should not be redirected to holism. Neither is the word 'whole' the same as holism. In consequence the word 'whole' should also not be redirected to holism as it is at present. The words wholism and whole should stand alone in their own right even if they remain blank pages.--Ogb 11:48, 14 May 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan

Anglicized Arabic? SWAdair | Talk 06:36, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

  • No, Malay or Indonesian according to language recognition sites; I'd go for Malay. Until we create a [[Category:Islam articles in foreign languages]] ;-), this one can probably be deleted. Physchim62 09:54, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Language recognition sites: I used the two that are linked in the Introduction to Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English: one said Malay and the other said Indonesian, which is not too surprising given that the two languages are very similar. The lack of double vowels and the use of the word sultan make me think that this "article" is actually written in Malay. Physchim62 10:11, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Servers of the divine plan

Since, apparently, this article was submitted by the book publisher, it seems likely to be a non-notable book, in which case a VfD would be in order. How would one go about closing a copyvio and having a VfD instead? Stephen Compall 19:35, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re Admin prep school

Hello, again. I see that two messages up you said "Well, it's times like these I wish *I* had the power..." You certainly do enough cleanup around here that you could make good use of the extra buttons. I went checking. Kate's tools say you've made 2237 edits to the English Wikipedia, and that number is certain to be skewed on the low side because so many of your edits are tagging vandalism for deletion. Your interaction with others is always polite and level-headed, even after provocation. You're involved with cleanup all over the place. You've been here since April 11th. What?! April 11th? You've gotta be kidding. Remind me when July 11th rolls around and I'll be happy to nominate you. Many people use three months as a minimum to see if a person burns out after a brief rush of activity, to give time to gauge interaction skills, etc. One thing, though. You were using edit summaries consistently up until recently. Type an edit summary every single time. Every time. Everything we do here is available for scrutiny by anyone in the world, but edit summaries are an extra way of making our actions transparent. Many people weigh use of edit summaries heavily when considering an RfA. Otherwise, you're doing everything I would expect of an admin. It won't be long before your time for RfA rolls around. SWAdair | Talk 10:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

2237 edits?!?... wow... scary... actually, the scariest thing is that all these edits are done part-time between uni classes and Real Life. It's not like this is my only hobby either, I have several. So, if anything, I'll be able to be *more* active in June/July when the semester ends.
Yes I have been forgetting edit summaries. Hm. I see by looking through Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies that that's one of the most common grievances... well, I've started making summaried comments again, so that evens things out. I'll have to remember to keep that up... hmmm...
Actually, my edits are now at 2270, heheheh. I'm catching up fast, you're only on 3970! Master Thief Garrett 13:01, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
Anyway, I've just discovered I don't need any magical admin powers to process Vfds after all... yay! Now, what *else* do admins do that I can do already? *goes off to check Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list*

[edit] Western Civilzation

I dispute your speedy delete of this article. While I agree it is nonsense, it is not patent nonsense, and does not, in my reading of them, conform to the guidelines for speedy deletion. It should have gone to VfD, where it would have been soundly clobbered. Denni☯ 16:00, 2005 May 21 (UTC)

  • I think it qualified as patent nonsense "Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irremediably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to try to make heads or tails of it." However, since you disputed the deletion, I have undeleted and re-listed it for VfD. I think "that this whole shalopy was a load of dingo's kidneys derived by a mistake."  :-) SWAdair | Talk 03:00, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Esata

Seriously, why can't I add another artificial language to the list? Why are the other on the list worth staying and Esata is not? What are the criteria? Or is this a personal policy against me?

  • I wasn't involved with the VfD, but it seems the consensus was that this conlang is too new to be encyclopedic. In other words, it doesn't have a sufficient number of users to be notable. Once it gains popularity, you could make a case for re-instating the article. In the near future, however, the VfD consensus has to prevail. SWAdair | Talk 06:40, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
    • That's sad... It really feels like a slap on my face for no reason.
      • I'm sorry. I know. No one meant anything personal against you. The votes were honest evaluations by people about whether the topic was notable enough for inclusion in an encylcopedia. The concept of notability is often fuzzy (an obscure Dutch painter may have an article, but a newly-released book by a previously unpublished author may not), but it is that concept that ensures Wikipedia is not overrun by advertisements and articles about people's pets. I'm sure no one meant anything personal by it. Umm.. I hate to have to mention this after your last comment, but it needs to be said. Wikipedia doesn't allow articles that consist of nothing but external links. You can contest deletion of an article at Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion, but I have to warn you that any article deleted according to policy is highly unlikely to be re-instated. WP:VfU is mainly to contest the legitimacy of a deletion process (i.e. didn't follow policy), not to contest the result of a debate. SWAdair | Talk 06:54, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Why can't I find "Esata" on the deletion list so I can contest it's delition legitimity? Gebeleizis. 6:46 GMT

[edit] Quoty McQuote-Quote

I'm just really sarcastic when it comes to the junk that appears on VfD.

The "killed with a very large axe" bit is actually one of David Gerard's bits from the mailing lists. He was going off on people who use "delete - non-notable", but finished off by noting that most things on VfD still need to be removed in the manner prescribed. Now that I look at the actual message, he said "big", not "large". -- Cyrius|✎ 06:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I have the torrent piped to my Gmail account, so there's a big tank to hold the flood, and it's relatively easy to skim a whole thread. Not to say that it isn't fairly repetitive.

[edit] RFC

Hi there! I noticed that you've taken it upon you to delete uncertified RFCs. I think that's a good idea, as an uncertified RFC is close to a personal attack in most cases. However, I've in the past tried to get a couple of them deleted, but have not met with any success. Thus I'm not sure where consensus lies. Radiant_* 09:19, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VfD subpage

You know, I had entirely forgotten about that page. It's sort of a work in progress, only I got sidetracked. Give me a couple of days to clean it up and I'll move it into mainspace, it'd probably be useful to the community. Yours, Radiant_* 09:19, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support

Thank you for voting on my RFA. Have some pie! I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of supporters (including several people that usually disagree with my opinion). I shall do my best with the proverbial mop. Yours, Radiant_>|< 08:10, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kasassoglou

The Kasassoglou article appears both at the site I quoted and the site you quoted in full. In the kasassaglou.de site, you just have to click on the "next" or "previous" arrows at the bottom. I used the kasassoglou.de URL because it looked more like Giorgios Kasassoglou's personal website. — JIP | Talk 10:13, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
