To Be Frank--Go F%!? Yourself

This seems pretty self-explanatory to me, you duplicitous little turd. I may leave Wikipedia after this little episode. I can see that you have ruined this site for a number of users with your over-zealous execution (fitting word) of Wikipedia regulations. You have truly gone below and beyond the call of duty.

Vandalism?????

I have eddited no pages. I dont know what you are talking about I'm sorry

I am the copy write holder

For your information I am the copywrite holder for CHOSA. But I will leave the artical as minimal as possible.

JP cartoon "victims"

Since you've warned to block me indefinitely should I recreate the page in any fashion, I'd like to ask you, whether you'd agree if I'd follow Joes advice and use his title for my page. If you wish, I'll blank out the names of the admins as well. Can you live with that? Raphael1 00:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Please let me explain, why I feel the need to make this list: This list would point out the results, when administrators enforce Februarys poll results by blocking editors who ignore those polls. I don't like those consequences, and they are actually in conflict with WP:NBD

In order to reach the best possible decisions, we hold it important to listen carefully to each other's arguments, and to try to find mutually acceptable solutions in conflicts. Polls are the exception and not the rule, and where they do exist they are not binding.

and WP:CON

Precise numbers for "supermajority" are hard to establish, and Wikipedia is not a majoritarian democracy, so simple vote-counting should never be the key part of the interpretation of a debate. When supermajority voting is used, it should be seen as a process of 'testing' for consensus, rather than reaching consensus. The stated outcome is the best judgment of the facilitator, often an admin. If there is strong disagreement with the outcome from the Wikipedia community, it is clear that consensus has not been reached.

Do you have any suggestion for an inoffensive title for the list? Raphael1 02:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

May I regard your silence as consent? How about the title "Consequences of enforcing Februarys poll results"? Raphael1 12:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

usernameblock

Hi Zoe, how do I report a possible {{usernameblock} candidate? It's User:Ricardo Lagos (former Chilean president). He has been editing Ricardo Lagos, engaged on vandalism and personal attacks agaist another user who warned him. Regards, E Asterion ^{u talking to me?} 00:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Ricardo Lagos has been repeatedly vandalizing, and when I reverted his massive vandalism, he tried to add it to BJAODN. If he's up to it again, it's time for him to be blocked. User:Zoe|^(talk) 01:49, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. An admin blocked him for now. I found him funnily disturbing. There are some weird people out there...E Asterion ^{u talking to me?} 08:55, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

3 rv rule redirect.

Sorry. I just thought it would be easier to go to this page that way. If it is causing problems or i have done something wrong, please delete it. I was just trying to find the three revert rule page as a person has been vandalising the autism and aspergers pages, amongst others. Actually can you do anything about them. They are from IP 70.142.153.51 Simply south 20:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I will try WP:3RR in future. Thanks for the shortcut. I must remember that when creating redirects, not to do them to pages with Wikipedia at the start or other such pages. Simply south 21:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Your proposed deletion of my first entry to Wikipedia :The res3ia Enigma

Hi there

Could you enlighten me as to what exactly is wrong with my entry. Having used Wikipedia for some time, I thought I would make a contribution of my own, only to discover that you had recommended it for deletion within moments.

Your article Porto-Novo

Hi, I have recieved an email from a reader about the article Porto-Novo. He noticed that article looks a lot like this article. Even more when your compare it with the the first version of the Wikipedia version. According that website the text of Porto-Novo comes from the "The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia". You seem to be creator of that article. Do you know how this can be? Greetings, --Walter 22:50, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I've never heard of allrefer.com, so I know I didn't copy it from there. This article was created in my earliest days on Wikipedia, but I really do not remember where the informatin came from. I'm sure I got it from several different online sites, the Columbia Encyclopedia may have been one of them, but I don't think I would have copied it verbatim. I honestly do not remember my source. Do you want to rewrite it? Or else I can, if you think it needs to be. User:Zoe|^(talk) 20:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

When you compare the first version of Porto-Novo with the version of Porto-Novo from the Columbia Encyclopedia is clear the are almost the same. Only the Wikipedia-version is a redused version.

I think tr best way to resolve this if you would make a new article from scrach. Posibly a stub. And when that is done delete the article and directly restore it again with only the last edits of the history. Problem gone. --Walter 22:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Would this be a copyright problem concerning the other edits that have been done since my first version? User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The original version of the article is copyrighted by the Columbia Encyclopedia. All versions after that from the same source are also illegal. The current article is using a free licence while it has not right to be under the GNU/FDL. If you prefer I can use the VFD-procedure. I have contacted you directly to avoid that so it can be arranged more discretely. --Walter 21:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not trying to duck any responsibility, I just wanted to make sure that there would be no problems in doing as you suggest. I will take care of it, I just have to do some research. But as long as there are no copyright issues involved in deleting it and starting fresh, I will do so. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:13, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Could you take a look at User:Zoe/Porto-Novo and let me know what you think? User:Zoe|^(talk) 02:46, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The EN wikipedia is not my home-wiki. I can not guaranty that if you do that you do not get complaints/problems about it. If you are not sure you should use the VFD-procedure or whatever procedure there is to deal with copyright problems.

The new version looks very good. --Walter 08:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Wheel War

You do realize a wheel war requires more than one action? The fact is the block was ridiculous. If I went around blocking everyone for a week every time they told me I was stupid or abusive or didn't deserve to be an admin because I blocked over an edit war, there would be hundereds of people blocked each week in that manner. He was asked several times to reduce the block and after 2 days, decided another 8 would be enough. 10 days for what? Please review the situation before jumping on someone for a non-existant wheel war. Shell ^babelfish 12:21, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hawthorne Caballeros Drum and Bugle Corps

Why would you have deleted this page? It was empty but at least it was a start. --JimBurnell 20:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'm still a newbie for Wikipedia, so I'm not sure whether our conversation should be on your talk page or on mine. In any case, yes, the content that you mentioned was vandalism, but not grounds for deleting the entire article. It was empty but it was a framework to be filled in later at least. Is there a way to resurrect it? --JimBurnell 20:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Request for Arbitration re: Raphael1

Hello Zoe, you may want to add yourself to this request for arbitration begun by User:Cyde after User:Raphael1 recreated his infamous list (and left Cyde and Pegasus1138's names in a historical version). Netscott 02:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Zoe, it's good to see your participation on this ArbCom case. One thing that I'm not seeing in the arbitration statements is a link to the WP:ANI discussion concerning User:Raphael1's block for spamming and activities concerning the deletion of his original "hit" list. You might want to add that and "exhausting the community's patience" to your statement just for clarity's sake. Cheers. Netscott 17:33, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

You issued me a temporary block? You've never blocked me before our unfortunate missunderstanding regarding the title of my user page. See [2] Raphael1 17:35, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

User:NoseNuggets

I was typing a message but got conflicted by a pagemove vandal. Anyhow, the above user has again been blocked for disruption to current sports events. Do you believe arbitration should be filed? RFC's not produced any results, as I'm sure you know. NSLE _(T+C) at 08:17 UTC (2006-06-08)

Should we file it now, or give him one last chance to change his ways after his most recent block? NSLE _(T+C) at 10:39 UTC (2006-06-09)

Just as you typed that, I blocked him a further 48 hours for resuming his bad habits. ;) NSLE _(T+C) at 16:15 UTC (2006-06-09)

Sigh... quote an email he sent me:

Go take a look at the past sports pages (since February) and see that recaps are italicized. If you don't like it, shove it up your mothrerfucking ass.

NSLE _(T+C) at 05:22 UTC (2006-06-10)

Apologies for insinuating myself into this discussion. An RfAR might be necessary, inasmuch as NN, concomitant to his valuable edits, disrupts certain sports-related pages significantly; I'm honestly not certain that we can characterize the net effect of his contributions as constructive. I must say that I'm genuinely surprised at the incivility of his reply to NSLE; I always thought that his ostensible intransigence stemmed primarily from ignorance of policy and an inability properly to understand the entreaties others made to him on his talk page and at the RfC, but it seems that he well understands that many of his edits are unencyclopedic and simply doesn't care. His unwillingness to collaborate or to listen to the suggestions of others is most unfortunate and leads one to wonder whether he properly appreciates the nature of the project. Joe 05:40, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Arbcom discussion

Hi Zoe. It seems others are commenting too. There doesn't seem to be a formal talk page related to the case yet; could you please point me to the rules about this? — JEREMY 02:07, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I see; fair enough. Given there's nowhere else for me to clarify the situation re. the GA rules, however, I'll leave the comment as is and hope the clerks refactor it appropriately. — JEREMY 02:15, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Article Un-redirect

If an article went on Afd and consensus was to redirect to another article, what's the best place to go for a user afterwards to get the page reinstated? For deleted pages WP:DRV would be the right place, but since the page wasn't actually deleted I'm not sure what the correct procedure is. -- Hirudo 15:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I've given my thoughts on the same question here. I'd be interested in seeing Zoe's take on it too, so Zoe may or may not want to read what I said first... :) ++Lar: t/c 15:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Can you tell me what article you're talking about? I would have to know the history of the AfD discussion and see what sort of content you plan on re-adding to remove the redirect. User:Zoe|(talk) 15:37, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

See Lar's link above for my reply to him with the details. (Also, please reply either on his page or here instead of on my page. I hate split discussions. Thanks) -- Hirudo 15:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't see any reply on Lar's page. User:Zoe|^(talk) 15:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Don Voss

You deleted "Don Voss" because there are "thousands of college football players". That may be true, but there are not thousands of college football players who were All-Americans, played in the Rose Bowl, and also will be named to their University's Football Hall of Fame. Thanks for the lack of thought in deleting the article. Wiki is a waste if no one cares to understand what they are deleting. Maybe someone with football knowledge should only delete football players?!

Dissapointing. Done with Wikipedia.

Please note that although I nominated the article for deletion, I did not delete it. The discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Don Voss was properly concluded. If you disagree with the process, not the votes, you may submit it to WP:DRV for a rehearing. User:Zoe|^(talk) 15:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Your comment Re: Mending Wall on deletion review

Can I ask you where I might have said anything that might be construed as a personal attack? -- SCZenz 19:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I actually wasn't thinking of you at all when I wrote that; after all, your AfD nomination says "transwiki to wikisource" so I was under the impression that you thought it was legally in the public domain and you were nominating it for some other reason. I was thinking of Robertsteadman, who in my opinion maintained a very insistent campaign based on the convolution of two issues: 1) a misunderstanding of copyright law, and 2) his believe that the poem was non-notable. He was in error on the first part, and he was rather insistent about it, and if he had listened to the suggestions of others (perhaps the first time Xoloz suggested the problem might be a difference in US vs. UK copyright law) it would have saved us all a lot of time. (The non-notability, was of course debatable, and was debated.) Perhaps you made a mistake also in the AfD nomination, if you were thinking AfD is the proper place to discuss a possible copyright problem that could be easily removed from the article. But you should not read more into my words than I say; if I say you or another user has made an error, that is not a personal attack, nor is it intended as one. -- SCZenz 21:05, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I certainly never said anyone shouldn't have expressed an opinion, but I continue to maintain that the assertion the poem was a copy-vio was a clear error from the start—unless Wikipedia:Public domain was wrong, and then it should have been hashed out there first with interested users who (presumably) know a bit about copyright law. That is what I intended to say the first time, and I do not believe it is a personal attack; if you think it is, I would be interested to hear why and perhaps I'll reconsider. -- SCZenz 21:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

24 Minutes, CRU, Gategoer- Destroyed

Fair enough. If you do not want this on the website, then so be it. But next time, give a good reason why it should be deleted instead of because it is about a local school. Explain why, because from my point of view, you and others seemed to blow 24 Minutes out of the water. Now my first entries were false, yes, but I just wanted to see what would happen to them if posted. Posting the false is my fault, but 24 Minutes was REAL, not a lie. I thought it would be proactive to display a parody of 24 because it went with the topic. Yes, I defended my page because if I didn't, it would be destroyed anyway, so I gave it a shot, it failed. I bet if you were in my shoes, you would do everything to save an article that you worked on, or at least figure out why it was unfit to be here. I really hoped the environment of Wikipedia would be more excepting to articles written along with other important topics. I can say this, you do find the false and delete it quicky, I support that. But, if the topic was connected to another, I just don't see why it can't stay. I only been here for 24 hours, that's it. I don't know all the rules and regulations, but I do know that this is a website that offers free knowledge to all around the world. Then doesn't that give the world the free chance to share some of their factual culture to the world? Does it hurt anyone if a page stands that doesn't quite follow all the rules? If it does, I'm sorry. But please, be more proactive and make others, not just myself, understand why what they written was wrong. If everyone in the world were less accepting, we would all be in a world war, but were not. We, to the best of our ability, try to have an open mind about other things, and not shoot them down. If people didn't give Edison the chance to invent the light bulb, phonograph, movie camera, cement, etc., we wouldn't have those things today. My point of this is that instead of just posting delete on something, saying -doesn't work- explain why to them so they could redue it or let it go. By the way, why are spending so much of your time on this webpape everyday, looking at everyone's work? Go outside and enjoy your life instead of staying indoors, staring at a computer screen. I know I will be. -Gategoer

Thanks for your reasoned reponse to my comments on the Alienus unblocking. I was getting frustrated and I think my comments were stronger than they needed to be. I appreciate your not escalating past my own strong comments. User:Zoe|^(talk) 00:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

No no, your comments were quite appropriate. RfC is the right thing to do with an admin who consistently breaches policy, which I did. I do apologize. I complain about admins who block too easily, but maybe I'm an admin who unblocks too easily.

Hi Zoe! Yes, very clever... but at the same time a bit dim (so very easy to see through what they were doing!). I've corrected the close I did on the AfD to remove your name - although you have to admit that, at a glance, the deletion history page doesn't tell you why it was deleted, just who did it! ➨ ЯЄDVERS 22:47, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:Kennedyjohnson.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Kennedyjohnson.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Zoe: I just read through your short list (only June this year). You sure are involved in a lot of deleting. I don't know who has what job around here, is your job deleting articles? Is June the month you delete alot? Is this an unusual month - a lot of writers showing up who don't know what they are talking about? Is June slow month for this? One guy said he was here for only twenty four hours. Is that a long time, a short time? Was he lucky to be here that long? How could he have had more than 24 hours, if he wanted it? As an editor, that sure seems like a short time to decide he didn't belong here, but I didn't see his story. It must have had every error a story could possibly have to last a mere 24 hours. How did you derive at 24 hours or less (or possibly a little more) as enough time for a writers story to stay in Wikipedia? I thought that this was a public place, I would have given the guy a week or so. Especially if it were his first piece. Do you also decide which stories are taking up too much space for no good reason and, that 24 hours is good? Is the public happy with that? How do you know? Lastly, do you own part of the Wikipedia? Is there any money in it? Are there shares open for sale? Thanks, Bud Whiteye 00:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Bud Whiteye

No, Zoe just loves deleting things she doesn't agree with. She can always call them "copyright violations" or some such nonsense. Here definiton of fair use is "if I personally think it's fair, then it's fair use; if not, it isn't." She could care less where the image is sourced or cited. Even she doesn't like it, she wipes it. And there's nothing you can do. Welcome to Wikipedia. Zoe's troll ground.

Zoe: Thanks for your kind reply. I am writing about the Sarnia Area pollution. From the first word, I never felt I was writing anything else. I have read about Chernobyl in the Wiki and other places, ugly as it is, it has forced its place in history. The whole world knows about Chernobyl through encyclopedias and other sources, primary or as in the Wikipedia. Such disasters as Chernobyl should be revealed to the world. The disasters at Aamjiwnaang are no less horrible. It is not my point of view alone that Sarnia, Aamjiwnaang and all those affected by "Chemical Valley" see the pollution as anything less than a disaster. Nobody knew about Krakatoa until somebody went there, took some notes, revealed some evidence and wrote about it. Historians and writers are good like that. My article may have some gliches, but it is about the disaster on-going at Aamjiwnaang. Zoe, why does it have to be about Sarnia? Sarnians know how to write. They can as easily link to Aamjiwnaang, when they chose to write about the disaster. One of your colleagues expressed a kind of "systemic discrimination" upon certain stories that keep some articles from not appearing or enjoying great debate. Is an Aboriginal story, written by an Aboriginal one of those special kinds of discrimination? I'm not inserting this as a qualifier for my story. I know you would not accept it as such. My defense of the story stops for now, with "...the disaster" in bold above. Your site manager runs all of our words together. You asked if I had any Qs, that is one. I would hate for the eventualities at Aamjiwnaang go un-noticed because of a bias not listed in your criteria. Thanks again, Bud WhiteyeBud Whiteye 02:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

What criterion for speedy deletion did this image meet? Thank you for reverting the BBIH vandalism on my UT page, incidentally. —BorgHunter (talk) 02:29, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

- I would like to know, Zoe, why you tend to want to delete things just like that? Are you incharge here? If so, I understand your desire to edit everything, but if not, then what business do you have deleting other people's article?. I know you can hear me. And I know you know the source of this question. I'm still a little ticked that I received no reply from you about why you wanted to delete my articles so badly, when they've been posted for less than 2 days! I've only been here for 2 days now. If it was a rule violation, then just say so. If it was a misunderstanding, say so. Don't expect me and all other newcomers to know what you mean when we just walked through the door! Give us a break, please. I started friendly and with good intentions but now you seem to throw things against the door. Why? Why nice one minute and rude the next? I didn't ask for this! I asked for a little understanding, give me a break! And I'm back again just to see if you could give me a decent response to why my artcles were so bad. And once you do that, then tell me what I can write and can't write. Is it that diffucult and tedious to ask? I want peace and understanding. I hoped that Wikipedia's environment was peaceful, but now it's more like battlefield, edit this, destroy that. If this wepsite was BUILT FOR EVERYONE, then shouldn't the creator of an article have a say in their article's future? Please Respond so I can understand why you are so angry at me.

That's just good ol' Zoe, no matter if you are new to Wikipedia or have something to contribute. And don't get her started on "Neutral Point of View." You'll probably have to wait a long time for a response, too. A classic example of Wiki Administrators run wild. She unfairly and without reservation maligns even minimal contributions from first-time contributors.Harmanos 03:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Yep. Welcome to Wikipedia. Otherwise known as "Zoe's domain." Whatever she doesn't like, she wipes, and always has some excuse about "violating copyright," etc. even when there's no such violation. Especially if you're new. Then she accuses everyone who agrees with you of being a sockpuppet. Typical frustrated fangirl. 71.158.149.97 00:48, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I have only your reply (NPOV) and a sentence that includes "...please don't hesitate to ask." So, I did. I explained that everyone, including the manufacturers hold the view on how polluted Aamjiwnaang and Sarnia are. Then I asked some technical q's to try to be inkeeping with Wiki Policies. Now, this is in "My Page" (Bud Whiteye) can you get this from here? Thanks, Bud Whiteye Bud Whiteye 22:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC) ZOE, I brought this over from my "Talk" page; I didn't know what else to do. No one has told me yet where to write where editors who have concerns can read (my) our responses. Thanks Bud Whiteye Bud Whiteye 22:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Zoe from Bud

Zoe: I left you a short note today (June 20, late PM) in your "Talk" page. BWBud Whiteye 22:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Zoe

I didn't think you were going to get back to me. I must have hit an artery: I'm getting some good responses now. Editor Z told me that since my article is "out there" (Google, Anishenabek News, and so on) it is not OR. Are you both right - somhow? I believe the world and Wiki readers would be well served if they had this information as a resource, a place to turn in researching the world's polluted sites - might help them get a PhD. I can't understand why most editors are stuck on "Op-ed, or news article. The information and the people dying or not being born are still there. I am a writer. If the information needs to be put another way (as in Chernobyl), why can't that be done? Again, thanks for your timely and good reply. Bud WhiteyeBud Whiteye 23:36, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Zoe: This is the first time you have said I could do a re-write. I believe another editor would like me to as well. I am a writer, most writers are used to rewrites and multiple editing (usually by one and the same editor) that never means one is a bad writer, it means the editor knows what they want and the piece has not yet achieved those parameters set by the editor - based on the rules set by the publisher (publication). BTW This story is from many places, if you check, you'll notice that google did not get it from Wiki. How much time do I have to do a rewrite? BWBud Whiteye 12:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you have any objections to me starting a group to calculate statistics. One of the programs would calculate mediation success. There would be no admin programs. Geo. 20:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I need a group because this would be a massive undertaking, involving quite a few volunteers. The statistics would be used to

make a better encyclopedia and would verify official statistics.(Example:Mediation success rate could be used to estimate how many cases go to Arbcom). I will have oversight boards so there will be no grand high poobah. Also I would like to put the past behind us. Geo. 23:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

The statistics (for mediation program) would be used to help the Arbcom predict how many cases they will receive. The statistics in

other programs will state their purpose in the program plan. I have no plans to collect statistics that will be used to harass people. Geo. 23:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

That was one possible program. Another would determine how many specialist admins there areGeo. 20:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

A specialist admin is a administrator who indicates a focus on a certain aspect on their listing on the sysop category. By tallying up the number of Admins with each specialty, you can

see where Wikipedia has the least admins focusing. Data collection would involve counting how many Admins are in each specialty. The only list would have numbers, and zero names.Geo. 20:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll never contribute again!

Congratulations! Thanks to your original problem with "NPOV" of a man murdered by another man who had a quite lucid, non-neutral point of view about racism, and your mistreatment of "sock puppets", "noobs", and other first-time users, you have driven me away from ever joining the Wikipedia community. I don't have to hide behind an IP address, either. I cannot help but to feel sad that something I liked and enjoyed was ruined. I wonder if this makes Danny Lilithborne smile to know another useless, faceless, nobody will get swept out of Wikipedia because of you.

Best of luck in future endeavors. My username will be deleted in two days. Harmanos 05:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

His only contribs seem to be adding links to one specific site to a heap of WW1 articles.

Why did you delete the andrew cooper talk page, we were simply putting our case forward to re-instate the page, the subject matter himself was also posting a valid reason for it to stay, you culled an article before it had a chance to grow and have sources added to it, you are clearly a poor Mod

rm PROD, [[WP:POINT[[ violation. Changed "starred" to appeared".

So, how are those mind-reading courses going? Not so well, I can tell you. So what part of my prod: Very minor actor was unclear? Hint 1: "very minor" had nothing to do with whether he is, in fact, a minor. A quick glance at the IMDB listing would have provided a further clue.*Hint 2: whether he "starred"/"appeared"/"did handstands" is not relevant to the first three words of the prod reasoning. Citing that as your apparent rationale for removing the Prod strikes as you violating WP:POINT yourself -- you know, disrupting the Proposed Deletion process to make some sort of point. Oh, the irony. --Calton | Talk 04:11, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Addendum to "Here is my attack"

Well, I hace confessed to vandalizing for the past several months, and for permanently scarring my reputation. I want to state now that Tex's contention that I haven't left is entirely false, I only came back on the 23rd to voice my opinion against RobChurch, and his RfA. Well, my attack: I am sorry for being the CIyde vandal and for my attacks on John Reid. I am sorry that I came here, stressing myself, and others out. To further emphasize this, I did create an account with the intention of it being constructive after a three month long meltdown. Hopefully, I will be able to edit constructively, and I am sorry for all the trouble I cause. Yes, people reform, and to be honest, the point of the vandalism was to attract attention to what I see as incivility, and the reasons several of my friends have left here. But vandalism is vandalism, so I better quit before I get in trouble. I am sorry I was ever apart of the project. I DONT want to be a Brian Chase. But, at least I did edit here constructively for a year and three months before I went haywire.εγκυκλοπαίδεια*14:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

My undoing of blocks

Hi, Zoe. I understand that you're a disinterested party and that you commented in good faith on my unblocking actions wrt His excellency. I don't know if you saw His excellency's explanation that, just as I said, I only made a real block change once--that the other time was me trying to fix a technical problem? The block had expired (this was Woohookitty's one-week block), but HE still couldn't edit, and several admins on IRC tried to fix it. As I understand it, there was a capitalization discrepancy (Excellency/excellency) which was keeping Jeffrey Gustafsson's supposedly undone indefinite block still active. I saw it and fixed it (rather proud of myself, being no techie :-)) There was no question of me undoing a valid block; HE was *supposed* to be able to edit. If this is unclear, please let me know. I'll be glad to ask a developer or whatever to explain what happened, and then perhaps you could see your way to withdrawing your statement on ANI that I, uh, said the thing which was not? It makes me uncomfortable to see it there, coming from a super-respectable admin like yourself. Bishonen | talk 00:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC).

wp:jimbo makes mistakes

unfortunately, i don't know just how "pov rant"ish this essay was, because you deleted it, but it doesn't seem to be a valid candidate for speedy deletion. also, the deletion policy doesn't say anything about deleting articles in the wikipedia namespace. wikipedia essays are defined as "Essays about Wikipedia and related topics. These are not policy and are primarily opinion pieces.", so i don't see why you can delete an essay becuase it is POV. maybe it did deserve deletion, but i feel you should use the afd process and let the community decide. --Samael775 19:03, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Not saying that one or the other was being silly here. Just um, Ashibaka put it up at the village pump (policy) for review, and now no-one else can review it, and/or tell him if and why it sucks.

Ah well. In future, note that you don't always have to speedy, sometimes you can consider moving items into a users namespace. But mostly, especially when someone is starting off a new page, and they are asking for input, give them a chance to get that input. You never know what the outcome might be! :-)

Wikipedia:Jimbo makes mistakes

Howdy, I restored this as I didn't see a valid reason for the deletion in the first place. I think it's almost always poor form to re-do an action another admin has undone. I didn't see that it was discussed anywhere obvious, but my apologies if I'd missed something. If you really see a big problem with the page, is there a way to deal with it less invasively than deletion? Friday (talk) 22:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

So, what, you're just going to wheel war over it and not discuss it? You've now reversed two different admin's undeletions. Very poor form indeed. Friday (talk) 14:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Stay cool and discuss first folks. Possibly the page should be worded differently? Kim Bruning 14:58, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I gave reasons for undeleting on the talk page. I still see no explanation of the reason for deletion, other than short commments in the deletion log. First it was deleted for being a "rant", then later it was deleted for being an "attack page". I'm rather dismayed that so many editors apparently think that anything that looks like criticism is automatically an attack page. Friday (talk) 15:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Zoe put the full text on my talk page too. :-) Perhaps it looks ambiguous to some people, and it might need to be "npov"ed in some way?

Zoe: Would you mind if we undelete and move to userspace? With a little luck we can safely assume good faith on this one. That and Friday and I will also keep an eye on it, if Friday doesn't mind.? Kim Bruning 16:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm willing to help however I can, and I'll certainly watch it, but I have no particular interest in that content. I just saw from Wikipedia talk:Jimbo makes mistakes that Ashibaka wanted it back. Since I saw no particular reason for the initial deletion, or the subsequent re-deletion, I undeleted. As a general principle, I hate to see issues resolved by deletion, when simple editing would do the trick. Friday (talk) 17:09, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Personal info

I'm saying it on your talk page so it's not as noticed, but wikitruth's website has lots of admins on the front page and that site reveals things like real names, and lots of personal info. It even reveals birth names of people who changed it for a sex change operation. The link is in the article. Hardvice 03:09, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

why are you here

I don't have to explain myself to you. I see you made your first 500 edits almost entirely in 10 days. Wow. It's true that I have been registered for 3 monts, but made also like 300 article edits in like 2 weeks in June. Whatever, that time was wasted, I could have used it for better things. Wikipedia attracts losers that have nothing better to do than sit infront of a computer and "do the good thing". Rewards like barnstars, praise and most importantly the adminship are very nice, kinda psychological work I guess. Why exactly are you here? What is your inner motivation? Got a lame job?

Hello Zoe, having stumbled across this discourse between yourself and Azmoc I thought I might point out that although on Wikipedia references like this to wheels makes one tend to think of Willy on Wheels, in this case Azmoc was likely sarcastically referring to a torture wheel like this, this or this. Not sure if knowing that'd make much difference relative to the block but if one assumes good faith this explanation should hold sway. Take it easy. (→Netscott) 23:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

How old are you, ten? User:Zoe|^(talk) 20:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Zoe, I appreciate your concern, however, I wrote that bio. That is me, Datguy. My partner and I have a radio show on Mercury Sessions. I own everything on that page! Thank you for watching out, but that was written soley by me, and copied by everyone else who writes us up as artist. Please leave the article in tact. I own full copyrights to it all.

Zoe, thank you for your concern, however, I wrote that bio for our artist page. I am the owner of the copyright for Datguy, and all materials regarding it. Any copies found anywhere on the net are my words that people got from our website. We have a radio show on Mercury Sessions, where they copied it as well. I would appreciate you leaving it there. Thank you again for your concern. Please email me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Please don't leave one sentence messages which don't tell me anything. I am deleting them. Once you have more to say, please rewrite them. --ppm 23:10, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

"if I want"??? From when does that matter! Do whatever you want, including leaving unwanted messages on the talk page. --ppm 23:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

"I see you like "unwanted" comments when they praise you, but you're not so happy when another user suggests" -- oh yeah? Would you try reading my talk page once again, or, like, for the first time?? Here's what's on my talk page:

"you must NOT make that judgment"..."Here you impose your POV about Ray's life"..."I think the organization is messed up" ...."can you mark what facts are being supported by the references being added?"

The difference is: You delete/redirect the articles, and THEN come to me with sanctimonious advice.--ppm 23:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Fullname

Just to make it the fullname, you can always revert it and make the fullname a redirect.

Swiss municipalities

Thanks! I created a script and ran it against a database dump from the German Wikipedia. (I also did the same and completed the list of Swiss distruct navigation bars.) I now have on my hard drive about 1800 files, each one representing a stub article for a single Swiss municipality. Creating a new article is thus a matter of clicking on a redlink, finding the municipality's SFOS number, pasting the contents of the the associated file and saving. It goes without saying that it is laborious and tedious work. I have thought about creating a bot for the task, but it is a little beyoond my skills at present. BillC 23:56, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Recent edit wars

Hello Zoe. Thanks for your attention to someone whom I've had an edit war with. I have opened a case against this person on Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets, and I hope you can comment on it. I was just trying to revert major changes that came without consensus. If that's wrong, I don't know Wikipedia. If you're not familiar with me or the situation, please see my discussion there, which should tell you everything. Thank you. Tinlinkin 07:01, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Buffalo Bill

I too have read Buffalo Bill's autobiography and it clearly says that he was born in 1845. I believe that Buffalo Bill would know himself what year he was born in instead of a school book written years after his death. Bcody 13:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

You know that I have tried to answer your questions and settle the disputes between us by e-mail. It would be nice of you if you decided to reply to them, even on my talkpage. Thank you in advance for any input. Azmoc 20:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Zoe, what if I want to give Zereshk a barnstar? I can't edit his userpage?????? Will you add it for me, (please)? --Aminz 02:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

May I also request you to at least add the Category of 'Wikipedia administrators' to your userpage? --Aminz 02:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, if you don't like to pay any attention to me, it's fine. At least please add the Category of 'Wikipedia administrators' to your userpage so that nobody would have "the temerity to lecture" you. --Aminz 02:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

In all the fuss over User:Zereshk, there are two Fair Use pictures that are still up (see my removals on the history page). If you'd care to remove them, it'd be appreciated, or otherwise tell me to, but I'd rather not do so while the page is under protection by a different admin. :) Thanks ~Kylu (u|t) 03:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Done, thanks ~Kylu (u|t) 03:06, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

If you don't want fullnames used as the title of your article and prefer a truncated name, then revert it and make the full name a redirect. If there already has been discussion between the two and consensus has been reached then make the fullname a redirect. That way everyone knows its already been discussed. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 03:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Show me a written rule

Show me a written rule, otherwise you are enforcing your very personal opinion. I will continue my editing tomorrow at 6:00 EST unless you can show me a written rule. All my moves are easily reversible, and the procedure when using a truncated version of someone's name is to make the full name a redirect as in "Jimmy Carter" and "James Earl Carter". Feel free to revert the ones you are passionate about, but please cite rules and regulations, or lobby for new rules and regulations. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 03:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

NWA Virginia Junior Heavyweight Championship

Hello, I have restored NWA Virginia Junior Heavyweight Championship which was deleted per this AFD, because it's not a copyvio (the user who has posted it has permission to use the information from the copyright holder). So if you think there are other reasons for this article to be deleted, maybe it's time to start another AFD. Or DRV, as I guess my undeletion was kinda out-of-process (I have undeleted as the main reason cited in AFD was the copyright violation, which is not the case). Conscious 08:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I haven't kept the letter, but I have forwarded it to Wikimedia (the copy is at User talk:Aaron Brenneman). If absolutely necessary, it's possible to request the confirmation again. Conscious 15:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Justforasecond

Hi Zoe. Yes, I requested and received info from Nandesuka when I was considering changing the block. Based on that I probably would have shortened or removed the block, as I don't agree that minor slow motion edit warring is "valid" grounds for a month long block. However, that became irrelevant when the user agreed to stay away from the page and any 'preventative' basis to the block thus ended. That the user is pursuing the disagreement with a possible RFAr rather than moving on is unfortunate, but has nothing to do with their block status.

The fact is that the edit the user was trying to make wasn't particularly unreasonable... it is readily verifiable that numerous notable conservatives have cited the founder's felony conviction in attempts to discredit the holiday. That's a relevant and notable fact which ought to be included. His phrasing was POV and apparently meant to denounce the holiday's founder, but that's a reason to rewrite to conform with NPOV, verifiability, et cetera... rather than revert warring in turn or placing a block over content. Both sides were edit warring and violating NPOV - taking that out on the 'unpopular side' just promotes bias in Wikipedia and anger against it. --CBD 13:48, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

CBD, note that Justforasecond has, within the past few months, used sockpuppets to avoid 3RR while edit warring over that same fact: Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Justforasecond. I'm happy that you got him to agree to leave the article alone, but I want to make clear that I blocked him because of his behavior, not because of the content dispute. About which I don't particularly care. Nandesuka 02:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I am trying to keep this out of litigation, but a stewards opinion will help if this has to go to Arbcom. I am also going to ask other admins for a opinion. Would you be interested in doing so? Geo. 20:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure. I think he should be blocked permanently for stalking and racism. User:Zoe|^(talk) 01:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Do you have proof.Geo. 00:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Proof of what? Just look at his edits. User:Zoe|^(talk) 01:33, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Zoe, after asking on my talk page "how good is your word?" (implying I was dishonest, and, IMO assuming bad faith) I replied and explained things. I still haven't heard back from you. Beyond those allegations, I'd appreciate if you stop calling me a "racist" and suggesting I be banned indefinitely. This is uncivil and does not help wiki to be a better place. If you haven't already, take a look at my contributions[11] one of these days. Justforasecond 18:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Beg Pardon (The Pretension Will Stop)

Neither Knowlton Estate nor Aría were hoaxes; simply put, neither were particularly well-known. There is a difference between non-notable entries and hoax entries. If I write an article on my dog Mildred, I have not posted a hoax, now have I? Have a nice day.

Jeanpaul Ferro

it could be possible that the user was creating an article about himself. Note: Jferro67.Geo. 00:42, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

A user cannot create an article about himself when someone posted it couple of years ago.

The author was adding a link to some of his work available online. Sorry if I was trying to make my own entry created by someone else better. What was I thinking?

So be it.

Grange Estate

Hello, this is History21 19:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)History21. I just had a question regarding Grange Estate. One of our colleagues looked at the sources I posted and said that he (or she) thought most of the information I had written checked out. As such, I would like to repost the article. You said that you had found some inaccuracies in the Eyre section of that piece. If you could point them out to me so that I could remedy them, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

He has done similar vandalism on pages I edit. Why are you giving him multiple chances after being told any more hoax edits and he is done for good? WillC 23:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

History21 Again

Fair enough. However, I urge you to please read the statement I have posted on my user page and also to look at my contributions log. I think you will see that this is a genuine misunderstanding. And I wish you to know that accusations of "vandalism" on the Maryland page are unfounded. I did voice my opinions (heatedly) in the talk section, but did not vandalize the article. I think that it would be good of you to look at that as well. I will confess that I have been frustrated and a bit angered by all of this, but I feel that it was an honest misconception on the part of some editors and I solely wish to see the issue resolved civilly.

==Grange and Others==

Very well. I have agreed to this, but you will maintain a certain level of professionalism. I have referred you to the sources whereby this whole thing might be cleared up, and as such expect a courteous decorum. I am not a five-year-old to be chided and in fact have contributed many legitimate articles. Assume good faith, and do your best to represent Wikipedia in a more respectful manner. You are an administrator and should be setting a good example for others.

Kristina Paner being deleted

Why have you deleted my article? I was not yet finish editing it. I was absent for about a few minutes ago and when I came back I found it was deleted. I was following instructions that you mentioned and I'm just gathering some data and other articles for her whole biography. Now how can people know who Kristina Paner is when you deleted that kind of title? You may probably delete me here as a member but please don't delete the Kristina Paner title. She's one of the relevant actress in the Philippines way back in the 80's. Please answer my posts. I want to know your answer.

You are more fun than Wikipedia itself!

Truly, your approach to others, and to their work, makes you one of the most interesting studies on Wikipedia as a whole. I feast on your work, your words, your cold nastiness. Your mission. Your talk page is sort of like a petrie dish...add a bit of this, watch it grow. Which makes you the growth medium. So fetid!

Rock on. Very enjoyable.

Deleting entry

Hello,

I was updating my Wikipedia entry that someone else entered a couple of years ago, that is also linked to other Wikipedia entries of me, and that others use it. Why was it deleted? You noted that I am not "notability enough". What is the standard? I am a noted published author with 10 books published in 9 countries. What am I missing?

Your post said if that I didn't fall under the Wikipedia standards for deletion to repost, so I did. I wasn't suppose to. Just wondering what happened. LMK.

Assumption?

I didn't copy and paste material from other sites. If there are similarities it may be because some articles found online are written by me and the information isn't sited because it comes from my conversations with him. I mainly was hoping that someone would write a more thorough version of Ai Weiwei, who is one of the dominant figures of Chinese art and should be on here. In fact, the lack of an article on Ai Weiwei is the reason why I joined.

Jeanpaul Ferro

Hey Zoe. Your speedy deletion of this article was brought up at WP:ANI (in rather a ranty, process-obsessed way, but there we are). This is just to let you know that since the speedy seemed a bit hasty I've undeleted the article and sent it to AFD so a consensus can be achieved. Cheers, --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 21:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Jeanpaul Ferro deletion

Hi Zoe,

I agree 100% that admins reversing your actions should talk to you. However, I see no evidence that article fit the criteria for speedy deletion; it had an assertion of notability, although very likely the community will decide that it isn't actually notable in the end. I feel it is extremely important to be stringent about meeting the speedy criteria, and to let other deletion processes run their course in borderline cases—on the off chance that other sets of eyes will spot something the first admin on the scene didn't see. -- SCZenz 06:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't move your talk page

Can you clarify this message on ste4k's page: That's worse than blanking it, and will get you blocked. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• I believe I did that the last time I did a big archive... which preserves the history with said archive, N'est pas? Ahhh. Whew, Guess not. Didn't after all. Template:II'd apparently just thought to do so. But wouldn't that be more apropo when archiving so links were preserved, or are they not updated, so they have to be fixed manually? Thanks. // FrankB 07:25, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I didn't write that, but I wrote something very similar to that for a magazine. Standard press release material. There are factual similarities, as I'm not going to change years and events. Besides the facts, my article spent most of its time (I had been planing on elaborating) talking about his use of sacred materials and han dynasty urns in new ways. I did not talk about his architectual leanings, which I admit is a direct byproduct of my bias against that newer work. I did talk about his schooling at Parsons and Art Student League, his Southby's sale, and the founding of China Art and Archive Warehouse. This incorrect assertion that I lifted an article word for word has further dissuaded me from contributing to wiki, but as I will not be the one writings it - please write something on Ai Weiwei. He deserves it.

Los Hermanos Rosario

Hello, you deleted Los Hermanos Rosario about an hour ago. You didn't put a reason in the edit summary so I'm not sure why you deleted it (I couldn't find an AfD). I don't actually care why you deleted it, I'm just here to tell you that it's back and if you delete it again, you might want to make sure nothing wikilinks to it (or people will just create it again).

Peter Szatmari and Natche24

Hi, Zoe. Something that occurred quite a while ago has just come to my attention, and I was hoping you would drop a clarifying comment. In the midst of a FARC for Asperger syndrome, several editors were hard at work correcting the deficiencies in the article, which resulted in the featured status being perserved. I just went to several of the user pages to award them Barnstars for their hard work, and noticed you had placed a vandalism template for one of the editors; I failed to notice it when it was mentioned here. Since Natche24 was a valued contributor to that work, I was hoping you could make a note on his talk page, so that he won't be thought of as a vandal. Since I can't access the deleted content, I can't guess why you may have viewed it as an "attack page"; Szatmari's contributions to AS are respected in the field, and by Natche24, who was trying to create a page to include the diagnostic criteria which is referred to in the main article. Thanks so much, Sandy 13:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, Zoe. Those are actually the Szatmari diagnostic criteria for Asperger syndrome. I didn't know Natche had done so much work ! Perhaps you can leave an apologetic note on his talk page ? Regards, Sandy 20:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Bad faith?

I take accusations of bad faith pretty seriously, because I put a lot of value on integrity. In order to conclude that this is a bad faith nomination, you probably have some evidence as such, correct? Do you mind sharing what that is? Thanks, Karwynn (talk) 13:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
