WT:CHUG

Hello Andre,

thanks for your kind message. I can understand why you'd take exception to my comments and I'd like to apologize. You probably don't know me since I tend to be more of a gnomish maintenance guy but I can assure you that I try to stay up to date with what's going on (particularly the noticeboards and the mailing list). I guess that makes this even more embarrassing. The truth is, I've been going through the archives and my own talk page archives for the last thirty minutes or so, and whilst there's a good chance that I had Deskana mixed up with Cecropia, I'm just not sure. In any case, there's really three things I'd like to say. Firstly, and most importantly, sorry again as I did not mean to offend you in any way. Secondly, thank you because I probably really should have taken a real wikibreak a long time ago (I mostly tried to keep up with WP:BOTREQ and, if possible, also WP:CFDW even when out of town and, apparently, a break was long overdue) and I'd rather take a break now and come back in a few weeks or month. Thirdly, I still stand by my comment to the extent that I think that in this context discretion is not only a good thing but also the best way to approach this. Thanks for your time. S up? 02:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 2

Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship.

If you ever have any questions or suggestions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, --Elonka 06:30, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the bot flag. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 11:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom Hearts II FAC

The nominators and associated editors have tried to address your concern over the Kingdom Hearts II FAC. I invite you to reconsider your opposition as the FAC draws to a close. Axem Titanium 15:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article Names

Do I have to change my user name in order to change the Title of my article? I'm just confused about this because there is not a place to edit or change the title of an article and I don't want my user name to appear as the title. Can you help me with this?CQG Inc. 17:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thank you very much for promoting me to admin status and thanks also for the congratualtions on my talk page! I'm very happy to finally be an administrator and I look forward to helping the Wikipedia community in this new role. Thanks again! --MatthewUND(talk) 07:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Mario

Excuse me, I was just sharing theories with a user. I was not going to include it in any article. Mr. Mario 192 15:30, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you. THF 19:56, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfB

Well, this is somewhat belated, but as my WikiPhilosophy has evolved, I've realized that my comment on your most recent RfB was actually rather stupid. You've likely forgotten my inane comment (a neutral), but I still feel guilty about it and just wanted to say that I'm glad you were promoted and I think you're doing a great job. --JayHenry 04:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:TTN and rapid merging/redirecting without consensus

Hi Andre. I'm trying to figure out what to do about User:TTN and his "vigilante merging" (as named by another user on his talk page) - I see evidence of widespread disruption among many different areas of Wikipedia because of TTN's merging efforts, and he has not only refused to slow down, but has stated an intent to keep "pushing and pushing" as long as he feels he's right.

If you take a look at User talk:TTN, you can see a long history of people questioning his merges and redirections. It appears to be causing quite a controversy. In addition, I asked for an outside opinion from Parsifal, an editor I've been working with over at Wikiquette Alerts, and he so far agrees that there's quite a bit of disruption going on, even without any direct policy violations. He suggested I contact an admin for help, since he doesn't feel that WP:RFC/U will be effective.

The basic jist of the problem is that TTN seems to be very forceful in whatever discussions he engages in, he doesn't allow adequate time for merge discussions to take place before he goes and performs the merges, and he seems very willing to reject the opinions of others (even stretching to some degree when good points are brought up about sourcing and application of WP:FICT/WP:BRD). He is, in my opinion, unilaterally enforcing policies (and according to Parsifal, he's using AWB to automate a lot of this) to such a degree that it's disrupting WP on a pretty large scale.

Can you give some insight here as well? I haven't had time to do a full investigation into this myself, and unfortunately I don't have time at the moment to write up a detailed report for the Admin Noticeboard (as Parsifal suggested).

Thanks. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 18:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I've gone ahead and posted to WP:AN: [1]. This was at Parsifal's suggestion. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 21:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For the record

I think it may be good to leave your idea at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. Secondly, maybe it could become part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia (another recent project)? Simply south 21:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You could get so more people attention on the proposals page and this is still in the early stages. Al east you could try it out for now. As for the second, it could be a child project, unless this covers more than just Wikipedia pages. Simply south 10:30, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

THANKS

Thanks for changing my username. HIYO

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami

Dear Mr. Fader The section of the article Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami titled Sex Abuse and other Scandals that was recently added by DominvsVobiscm does not conform to many Wikipedia standards. The third party references are not a respectable source (Matt Abbot opinion columns) Matt Abbott does no research, he is not a journalist, he is a blog columnist that does no fact checking and whose columns are not reveiwed by a fact checker before publishing. The statements in the last paragraph by attorney Jeffrey Herman are actual statements published in a major local newspaper. These statements remain unproven to this day, there have been no arrests of any archdiocesan official who Herman claims knew about a priest being a pedophile and doing nothing. The only person on record as knowing about his past is the deceased former archbishop of Miami. Archbishop John Favalora has not been implicated by the Broward Sheriff's office because there is no evidence that he knew anything about the priest pedophile. Pope John Paul II appointed Favalora our bishop in Dec 1994. He didn't come here until a year later. He came from the New Orleans Diocese and did not know intimate details of this archdiocese upon arrival.If I were editing a Wikipedia article on the Duke Lacrosse scandals, I could easily quote the prosecutor in that case many times from reliable news sources saying the Lacrosse players were guilty. As we all know, that did not happen. For Wikipedia to include the statements of Jeffrey Herman when there are no prosecutions to back up these claims is irresponsible.I do not think any of Dominvs additions merit inclusion in the article Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami. The article does need to make mention of the scandal and such mention should include the Archdiocesan response. I did this in my last edit of the article yesterday but it has been since deleted by DominvsVobiscm. If my edit is going to be included, I can spend more hours referencing it. I did not want to spend any more time on this if it was going to be tossed in favor of DominvsVobiscm's lengthy replacement. I am awaiting the decision of the arbitration before I do any more work on this article. It is frustrating to try to create a respectable factual article when it is being persistently vandalized by a person with an obvious bias and axe to grind.NancyHeise 15:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Username Change

Alright then, how does WIKIVUE Detroit sound??? It's themed around the TV Guide Network when it was known as "Prevue Guide" in 1992. [2] --WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI AUG 17 2007 3:56 PM EDT

Mr. Fader, I have reviewed the article as left by DominvsVobiscm. I have left his information in and added information to make his addition less biased. The information I included is included in the references already there. Excluding the information makes the entry biased and inflammatory. I also removed from the article statements that were not included in the references and were without reference but appeared to be opinion. Please see my corrections to his work as a possible alternative to what he has offered. He has again eliminated all my work without explanation and I undid this. I am sure he will keep undoing my work unless you can help us. I still think the article does not need to include most of his information but refer to the Wikipedia Roman Catholic Church Sex Abuse Scandals instead. Could you please give me feedback on your opinion of this article? NancyHeise 21:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Archdiocese

Dear Andre, with regards to the current mediation related to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami article, and the issues related to that, I'll leave it to you to decide if you'd like me to comment further. I made my statement as clearly as I possibly could, and clarified it further after the editor in question replied. I feel that I've added all I can, considering I was only involved due to my doing Recent Changes patrol the other day. However, if you feel there is anything in my statement that needs to be clarified, or if you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll do my very best to give my thoughts. In addition, details of my conversations with Nancy regarding the issue can be found on my talk page, should you like some additional background. Thank you, Ariel♥Gold 23:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Andre, absolutely no worries I thought that! I don't consider my participation integral to the mediation, and I am not at all upset that you didn't leave a note, truly! You do your RL stuff and have fun if you can, and this will still be here when you return. Ariel♥Gold 23:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Fader, I object to the page Roman Catholic Archdiocese being locked as it is with DominvsVobiscm's version. There are changes he made that are inflammatory and incorrect. As the page stands right now, it is a propaganda tool of the catholic and homosexual hate group of Christifidelis.NancyHeise 04:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
