User talk:Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington/Archive/Archive06

Messages This is an archive of old discussions. Please do not modify this page. Archives: The Basement WikiProject Indian cuisine I'm planning to set up this WikiProject; seeing as you take part in Wikipedia:WikiProject India (it was in Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington) I thought you might be interested. Anyhow, you're doing great work here on Wikipedia.... keep it up! . --Gold-Horn 15:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC) Where do I sign up? — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC) EA Elections Thanks Hi Nick :) Thank you so very much for your kind vote. I hope that I can live up to the high standards set by others AC members, and help continue Esperanza down it's wonderful path. All the best, Thε Halo Θ 11:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC) Me again, sorry... :-( Sorry Sir Nick, it's me again, and still having the same problem. I didn't find any other administrator who wanted to help me, and I'm growing tired of being treated like garbage by the people at the Greater and Lesser Tunbs page. Only one friendly person turned up on the talk page and defended my work. Look at what happened. Since I started working on that page, they have blindly reverted me nine times. Today I made a big expansion of the article, backed up with lots of sources. ([1]) I'm actually quite proud of it, I think nobody can seriously say that isn't an improvement. But it was reverted too, blindly, even with all the factual uncontroversial corrections I'd made on the way. ManiF was clever enough not to do the revert himself this time, he sent somebody else to do it for him. But he endorsed the revert. And of course, nobody even bothers to argue what's wrong about my edits, or what's wrong with my criticism of the earlier version. They just won't accept anything that even hints at the possibility that anything other than the Iranian point of view could be taken seriously. I even made a little correction about the Persian name, about their own language, and even that was reverted four times until ManiF finally admitted (well, sort of) that I had been right after all. What can be done? I'm actually quite tired of the idea of having any further discussions with these people or doing "mediation" with them. They have been behaving abominably. Hah, I also found that page somewhere that says newbies shouldn't be bitten. Nice joke. I for one feel bitten for certain. Oh yes, and I also found what you said about ManiF being on "Arbcom probation". You meant this here, right? Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Aucaman. Egad, what a mess. Now I understand what's been happening. So he can be banned if he edits disruptively? I mean, it's not for me to decide, but if this here isn't disruptive, then what is? FellFairy 22:23, 4 October 2006 (UTC) Harassment Hi Andy. Please check your E-mail inbox, I've sent you an e-mail. Also, please take note of the following harassing and condescending remarks by FellFairy. [2] Could you please remind the user, that such comments are borderline personal attacks, and not in line with the wikipedia rule to "Discuss the topic, not the individuals". I love genuine dialogue and debate about the topics dealt with in articles, but I'm not interested in personal petty arguments. I'd appreciate your help and advice. Thanks. Regards --ManiF 07:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC) Thanks And thanks for the congrats Vakeel Sahib! Hope all is well -- Samir धर्म 02:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC) Can you do something about Calton? Dear Sir, I had it up over my neck now with shit from Calton, its start to get a bit to much now, do you have any suggestion what to do?

I call his actions Sock - cruft. Bakaman Bakatalk 23:30, 11 October 2006 (UTC) RfB With A Smile :) Username Warning I find Alkivar's usage of an image in his sig far less disruptive than an admin who brakes WP:USERNAME and WP:SIG by obfuscating their real username behind a "nick" name. This borders on throwing stones. Leave Alkivar alone; there are bigger problems in the 'pedia. An admin who hides behind a nickname lacks accountability. Please change it soon or request WP:CHU. —Malber (talk • contribs) 02:56, 13 October 2006 (UTC) Quit wikilawyering Malber and state which part of WP:USERNAME and WP:SIG my username/signature are violating. Your malicious intents are clear from your reply on User talk:Alkivar — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 09:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC) Recently created: User:Nearly Headless Nick.

I know you have a right to ask whatever questions you see fit on RFAs, but I don't see what your question about WP:WONK is intended to achieve. Most Wikipedians - even admin candidates - just aren't that deeply involved in Wikipedia politics to know of that page or care about its contents. Furthermore, it's a personal essay that has no policy/guideline status. Finally, it should be blatantly obvious that pigeonholing people isn't likely to help the encyclopedia or productivity. If you want opinions on that essay why not just ask on the talk page? --kingboyk 13:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC) Ho, hum. That personal essay makes much more sense than many other guidelines and policies. When I show my support or oppose an admin's candidacy – I must be clear about the particular user's thoughts. I am more of a process one, than a policy wonk. I believe that we are all here for making the encyclopedia than indulging in unneeded politics. :) — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 09:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC) Thank you! Thank you for your wishes on my birthday, Anirudh! Hope you enjoyed yourself on yours :) --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 06:57, 16 October 2006 (UTC) Strawman argument Do you even know what a straw man argument is? —Malber (talk • contribs) 16:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC) Whatever. My point being – you are taking up another argument than talking op-topic and moreover you point is moot. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC) Professionalism Please restrain your comments on Requests for adminship votes to either Support or Oppose. Comment's like Fuck yeah are childish and unprofessional. Thank you. —Malber (talk • contribs) 14:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC) [3] — *Ding* — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC) Reply on ANI I've replied to your comments on WP:ANI.

Have a look here. Thanks. BhaiSaab talk 17:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC) No, he's not. And you guys better stop revert warring on the article. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 17:12, 18 October 2006 (UTC) Perhaps you would like to chime in on the talk page. BhaiSaab talk 17:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC) Thank you Thanks for protecting the article so that we may all calm down and argue reasonably. However, I do not believe that I was eit-warring as I was providing citations everywhere I made edits.Please take into account that I am asking for arbitration/mediation in the talk page for the Indian caste system.Hkelkar 17:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC) You're misrepresenting sources.

I will go through Fair use before I start doing anything stupid. bye for now. --IndianCow 16:11, 19 October 2006 (UTC) Who am I to argue? ➨ ЯEDVERS awards this Barnstar to Nearly Headless Nick for being a positive, friendly and wise ghost user who I always enjoy seeing around, doing good works. zOMG! Thankeeee! — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 18:33, 20 October 2006 (UTC) No 3RR All of my edits over the last 24 hrs were not reverts. The other user violated 3RR on Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and is edit-warring similarly on Khalistan. If you disagree then kindly point out my 3 diffs and I will undo my last revert.Hkelkar 18:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC) It is always good to discuss and solve the matter, buddy. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 18:40, 20 October 2006 (UTC) Yes, sir. I fully agree. However, he has refused to respond to my please for at least 3-4 days and continues to ePOV-push across wikipedia articles (see his POV-fork attempt on Bhindranwale here).I have tried to plead with him on his talk page. he violated 3RR on Bhindranwale and I reported him.Hkelkar 18:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC) That's good then. But you should not try to assume the responsibility of trying to keep POVs from all the India-related articles. The disputes will be resolved in time. And you don't need to call me "sir". My name is Anirudh. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 18:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC) Could you look into the matter of this User:Gstar4 guy? See his contribs for patterned disruption and POV-forking and 3RR violation on Khalistan which I have reported on ANI.Hkelkar 18:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC) I am on my way to bed.

What`s next? Beg him not to break 3RR? Expecting answer. Greier 15:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC) Well, I am no expert in this particular article. And if he keeps himself from breaching 3RR, what are we policy wonks going to do? Regards, — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:58, 21 October 2006 (UTC) Mauco here. I am certainly eager to work well with everyone, and in particular with editors that I disagree with. If someone believes that a particular edit of mine is NOT a "good faith edit", then I sincerely hope to hear about it with a personal message on my User Talk page. - Mauco 16:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC) I guess it ok to Liable “Headless Nick” is a dque.

It's a big WP:POINT being made by the person filing it (but then, show me someone subject to the sharp-end of an RfC who doesn't say that! :o) and an attempt to avoid the block for disruption I warned the user that s/he was heading for.

I recognize the seal of the Templars of Jerusalem on the figure. May be he is a chief Templar like Geoffroy de Bouillon ? Nice picture. Really. TwoHorned 16:38, 25 October 2006 (UTC) I found it on the commons perhaps. I was looking for a picture which showed some likeness to Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC) Yes, I believe he's the same guy. You can check this article – Godfrey of Bouillon. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 17:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC) Bingo ! TwoHorned 18:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC) Block gone wrong? Hi, I reported 207.157.146.66 at WP:AIV and it looked like you blocked him/her but now it looks like something went wrong with the blocking: 207.157.146.66 (talk · contribs) My report "207.157.146.66 - More "last warnings" than the Apocalypse)" Your list clearance "(all blocked, LIST EMPTY)" 207.157.146.66's block log Thanks for your help stopping repeat vandals. --A.

Looks like I made a mistake. I wanted to remove that vandal reported by Nehwyn, because it had been warned only once in that day and removed yours by mistake. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC) Thanks for fixing this! (I will avoid puns about losing your head ....) --A. B. 16:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC) I still have my head here.

Thanks. By the way, I think that image can go as only he's using it, and not in a free-use way. yandman 16:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC) Blocked for 12 hours. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC) Is it possible to stop him blanking his talk page while blocked? yandman 16:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC) I could protect it, but then you would have to remind me to unprotect it again when the block expires. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC) Hopefully, I'll be far away from my computer by then. Shame they don't have a time limited protection option. Have a nice weekend. yandman 16:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC) about aksi/Hkelkar/RFCU etc. Seriously what is your view on this whole thing? When you confronted me on Aksi's talk page, I meant exactly what I said, that I felt he stabbed me and other Hindu users in the back. Usually I have something better to do (more edits than BhaiSaab, TwoHorned, Hkelkar, and TerryJHo combined), but seeing Hindu users ganged up on by cabals of trolls does get my blood boiling.Bakaman Bakatalk 22:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC) Wikipedia is not about Hindus and Muslims.

LOL. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC) User:TerryJ-Ho Hi, are these edits of Terry's acceptable? [6][7] Bear in mind that my talk page edits regarding this matter were memos based on the suggestions of a mediator in an unrelated dispute.I will abide by your decision regarding this. If you think that Terry's edits are legitimate then OK.As of now, I believe that they constitute harrassment.Hkelkar 12:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC) Removing warnings, whether relevant or not relevant isn't kosher. Although warnings by vandals can be removed, I let them be on my page and someone comes around and comments about its validity. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC) > Basically - the initial warning was this.The other two he marked above are warnings on removing the first warning a number of times on the pretext that Admins have agreed [implying that admins have agreed that it is right to say "SOCK ARMY"] - considering that the editor has repeatedly been asked not to use confrontational language, Wikipedia is not a battlefield and comment on content and not the editor - at the time of that remark he was still on a block for incivilty.Use of such language is not civil and remindful that he has not mend his ways.I could have been wrong to assume and that is why I asked him to seek an admins views before removing but he blanks out the warning saying he only "unrendered" the warning - in turn I got rewarded by this on my user pageTerryJ-Ho 14:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC) Revert-warring is bad. If a user does something wrong, posting one warning generally does the job. There is no need to repeat it again as it only exacerbates the situation. Instead leave an edit summary with the word Warning and report it to the admin who comes to the concerned user talk page. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC) The last checkuser concluded that it was "likely." BhaiSaab talk 18:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC) Likely is generally not good enough. I suggest you start collecting some serious evidence and approach ArbCom member User:Dmcdevit and ask of his opinions on this matter. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC) I have replied to your question on my talk page. BhaiSaab talk 16:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC) User:66.225.141.126 Regarding this. Try leaving vandals who do not have a long abusive past, at least one warning before posting the {{test4}} template. Regards, — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC) I agree with you in theory, but this user had two prior blocks and a whole bunch of test4s on his/her talk page. It did, in fact, look to me like a "long abusive past." The edit I was warning against was this. And the test4 did, in fact, stop any further vandalism from that user yesterday (it began again today, resulting in a different admin giving a third block). Thanks, NawlinWiki 15:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC) Mmmkay, but I always believe in giving them a chance. In my opinion it is subtle vandalism that really threatens Wikipedia. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC) Your Muslim Guild action Sir Nick, just wanted to swing by and thank you for your reversal. I do appreciate you taking the appropriate time for it. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:31, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Its only because I hold you in utmost respect. I am a process wonk and that page, in my opinion, is a waste of wikipedia's resources. I hope to see your comments on the MfD, for which I have requested the other user to present evidence of solicitation and advocacy. Thank you for your time. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC) I'll keep my eyes open for it. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Accomplice You may notice that User:68.115.227.253, whom you just blocked, and User:209.215.83.201 seem to be in cahoots. --Flex 15:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Blocked for a week. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Saw you blocking vandals.

It's regular purple and green. --Fang Aili talk 17:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC) I wasn't talking about you, sweetheart. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 17:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Oh, ok. :) --Fang Aili talk 18:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC) I think you may have made a mistake Your block of User:Kunstgebit lists "(I just love vandals who leave "vandalism" for editsummaries.)" as the reason. I checked, because I was curious why someone would do that. His edit summary of "vandalism" refers to this edit where he complained on an IP talk page that that user had vandalized. I checked his other contribs and I saw no vandalism and no talk page warnings. Am I missing something? Cheers Dina 17:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Please stop using euphemistic sentences in front of me. I think you may have made a mistake; There is no question of may! I did make a mistake. So, unblocked. Thanks for pointing this out – I couldn't have kept this on my conscience. :P — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 17:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Okay, no more euphemisms! If I catch another one, I'll give it a much blunter title. Thanks for fixing it, I felt a bit bad for the guy, his vandal message was kind of endearing. Cheers. Dina 19:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Thank you for supporting my RfA Thank you for your support in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of (56/0/2). It was great to see so much kind support from such competent editors and administrators as commented on my RfA. I know I have much reading to do before I'll feel comfortable enough to use some of the more powerful admin tools, so I'll get right to it.

If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter. The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.
