A rather long and pointless waste of both time and space can be found here. Anyone wishing to further comment there is free to do so, but don't expect me to check up on it very often. Either way, too much space for my main talk page. Bladestorm 04:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
You can really do it both ways. If you wish to keep the edit history intact, you can move the page and put important things back on the talk page. I don't care about the edit history, as any questions of ownership would be solved by the signature - ~~~~, and the original talk page would have the complete history of discussion on my account. I just copy and paste, but it works both ways. Scepia 04:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
It was not a threat. It was a natural consequence of his actions. He had not made a single civil comment in his history on Wikipedia, and I called him out on it. When I did so, he threatened me with blocking, and I simply showed him the futile hilarity of his statement. --Golbez 23:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. If anything, Illuminato has performed three reverts on the page today (it doesn't matter which part of the article one reverts). Xiner (talk, email) 00:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey Bladestorm, thanks for stoppping by to talk. Some of the relevant portions are (emphasis added):
Introduction: Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts. It is a step that inevitably should be followed by other steps. The Movement is but one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy is vanquished and God's victory is realised.
Article 7: ... the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of God's promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, God bless him and grant him salvation, has said: "The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O slaves of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharqad tree would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews."
Article 28: ... when the Jews conquered the Holy City in 1967, they stood on the threshold of the Aqsa Mosque and proclaimed that "Mohammed is dead, and his descendants are all women." Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people. "May the cowards never sleep."
Note especially in the last graf, they condem Israel, Jews, and Judaism; they are aware that these are separate things. Also, they're huuuuuge fans of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. That automatically gets you into the antisemite club, complete with badge and decoder ring. There's yet more evidence, I think, but I hope this makes the point. Do keep nudging me, though, if you still think I'm wrong. Cheers. IronDuke 17:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. I'd just like to say I'm glad that someone else was able to see I did not break the 3RR. However I accept that myself and other editors have been edit-warring - indeed I pointed that out on one of the admin's threads. I think we might need a RFC on the matter if we can't agree on a new version to use. Also thanks for the comments about my version being more neutral, even if it could be improved.
Not saying you're taking sides or anything, just expressing some thanks for knowing other wikipedians are sympathetic to my position. Cheerio, John Smith's 21:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
On my talk page Fnagaton I have a section about a subject very close to my heart, binary prefixes being used in old computer articles, and I was wondering what are your policy related thoughts about asking a limited number of editors who have written about this topic before to check out my talk page regarding this issue? One editor has claimed it is "canvassing" and is "not allowed" but I think that it is reasonable communication about an issue to other potentially like minded editors. I ask because you have a track record of commenting on policy with an even hand. Fnagaton 01:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey, no problem. I don't take anything personally and I understand where you're coming from. I'm equally tired of going around in circles with this, and a little miffed at the combattive attitudes of some (like Sarenne and Fnagaton) who are trying to lawyer guidelines and refuse to see other people's viewpoint. For the record (as I stated on the MOSNUM talk), I don't believe that another vote will resolve this dispute, but I'm not going to try and stop it.
I just ask that you please not hold the actions of one editor against this guideline in general; behind all the arm waving and shouting there are actually valid reasons to strongly recommend the usage of the prefixes (as well as there are valid reasons not to use them). I think that either way we should have a consistent guideline; it's a big step backwards if we just let this go back to being decided on a per-page basis. -- mattb @ 2007-04-10T16:13Z

Thanks for your work on binary prefix debate. I do not understand why some think is absolutely necessary to only one prefix for all contexts. I have tried to explain it with no avail. You have done a better job, but it is not getting through.
I have taken issue with the overstating of "this is the consensus, now fall in line." Some of my comments were a bit out of line. Is it acceptable to delete your own comments on a talk page?
Before we have a vote, is the "must accept the change" clause allowable on any style guideline?
Thanks again for your efforts. SWTPC6800 03:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Here is a laugh. SLi added a POV tag on Binary_prefix#JEDEC_units_of_semiconductor_storage_capacity because JEDEC was a minor organization.
[1]
I beefed up the description adding that JEDEC/EIA was accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and mattb removed it. [2]

I've tried in vain to get folks to stay on track in that discussion. At this point I'm just going to sit back and see what happens, interjecting as little as possible. I've more than spoken my peace on the issue and am getting rather sick of the hurling back and forth of the same old arguments (on both sides). -- mattb @ 2007-04-16T22:02Z
Hey!! Thank You! Thank I really appreciate your kind words ^_^ lol I thought about putting that too XD Aoikumo 23:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Just a quick note to say hopefully there will be a compromise in the binary prefixes thing where the terminology used in the sources is used first and the binary prefixes are added in brackets afterwards. So we end up with text like this example here [3]. Unfortunately I'm away from the internet for a few days... *grumble* Fnagaton 16:19, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry that you feel I've attacked you. Please be aware that at the time I initiated those initial 'bad-faith attacks', I was comparatively new to Wikipedia, and had no idea you weren't allowed to question the integrity of other editors. Please do not move or delete this comment. Algabal 17:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi - these editors were blocked on the basis of being involved in a meatpuppetry ring with the banned editor user:Hkelkar. As they have been warned several times in the past about incivility/personal attacks/disruptive editing and there is no doubt they were were of Wikipedia's policies concerning meatpuppetry and banned editors, there was no need for any prior warning to them. Also, consider the nature of the situation - I was lucky to have obtained hard evidence about this ring in the first place. Warn them and then what? They'll try not to get caught again.

As a person who has been involved in the discussion of various rumors related to Richard Gere, I thought you may be interested to know that due to the unwillingness of FNMF to find consensus on this issue I have taken the discussion of the Gere/Crawford letter to the BLP noticeboard.

Bladestorm, I'm moving Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Call it curiosity into the section Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Binary prefixes. Hope you don't mind. Fair points by the way. Jɪmp 23:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I suppose I'm biased in that the "should be accepted" was the only part I took significant exception to, but I think that, considering how polarizing it can be, less policy is good policy.

*Son Goku (Dragon Ball) → Goku (Dragon Ball) - 1. "Son Goku" gets 707,000 hits, while "Goku" -"Son Goku" gets 1,650,000 hits. 2. The only usage of Son Goku is the Japanese subtitles on the DVDs and in VIZ mangas, while Goku is used in the anime, in the trading card game, action figurines (and other toys), the video games, and the English dub contained on the DVDs. Also, the manga does indeed use the name Goku. - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC) |
I agree but the link itself seems dubious to me. Personally I'd like to see multiple examples, and at least one from an independent journalistic article. There's nothing really to show that the heat sink was not attatched by an end-user or some other party besides microsoft. Personally I'd like to leave the tag for now and see what response it gets while I look into it a little further myself.--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 17:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Link erased one of your comments in the Son Goku to Goku consensus at WP:DBZ. I don't know if you wanted him to. Just thought I'd let you know. --VorangorTheDemon 00:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
What the HFIL...? Ok, I want your opinion, cuz you seem to have dealt with him more. I notice on his arguments for video games, he pushes pretty hard for European names over all else. Does Europe not get the most recent dual language DBZ DVDs and/or the Viz manga? Maybe that would explain why he claims them to be unfamiliar and mentions DBZ VHS tapes.
You've got three hours of peace. I suggest you take a break. I'm going to get a nice cold drink. I'd make it alcoholic if I hadn't already drunk all my vodka. I'd also make it a double, as I've gotten four edit conflicts trying to post this message on your page. --Deskana (talk) 00:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Why does it seem like you've resorted to fighting for Trace Memory instead of the first title? I mean, even though what that user did was what I did, which you oppose vehemently? You don't seem to have a problem with what the user did, even though it's no different from what I did, which you have a problem with. - A Link to the Past (talk) 21:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Despite the fact that there was no opener at all for tonights ECW, some users keep changing the opening theme to "Famous" by Puddle of Mudd. I can't revert without violating 3RR (even though removing unsourced info is supposed to be allowed by other policies), would you take a look? TJ Spyke 06:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey gurch.
I saw you mentioning the secure server (secure.wikimedia.blahblahblah). As it so happens: I have no bloody clue what that is. :D
But it sounds interesting. Problem is, I couldn't find any info on wiki about its secure server. Have a link? Bladestorm 00:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I identify their actions as vandalism because the user has resorted to using sockpuppets in reverting (switched from an IP to King of America). I am well within my rights to revert in situations such as this. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

(ec)Something to remember is that there's a difference between banning and blocking. Some editors really are effectively banned, solely for desiring privacy. While although adding the templates are obvious wp:points, they certainly aren't malicious, and are, rather, a way to force people to accept that editors are becoming victims of policy. It's not something I'd personally prefer to do, if only because it uses the same template as a 'real ban/block', but is still a genuine attempt to improve the project by protecting editors. (I know you didn't ask, but just in case you don't see why hiding IP's matters...) I primarily edit at school, in my office. Anyone with checkuser (or who can get an ip from a checkuser), and nslookup could very easily determine not only my school, but the precise office I edit from. It would then be a trivial matter to learn my personal identity (just ask the secretary). The other two IPs I edit from would detail my travels across the border (US/Canada), and would essentially allow a person to know precisely who I was, where I go, what I do for a 'living'... pretty much far more information than the average person wants available. If I had, for example, a crazy ex-wife or something, then she could very easily use my IP to track me down. These are serious concerns, and anonymous editing isn't malicious in and of itself. Banning people for wanting to protect themselves may be the only option, but it should be a public and transparent option. Wanting people to see these victims of policy certainly shouldn't be sufficient reason to block gurch. (Incidentally, so you don't think I'm trying to justify my own use of proxies or something: I don't use them. Anybody could find out a great amount of information on me, and even track me down, but I'm not personally paranoid enough to care about that. However, several people really do have to worry about that sort of thing, whether it be ex-spouses, stalkers, etc., and they shouldn't have to choose between safety and being able to participate in projects) Bladestorm 17:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Took it out anyway. So no harm done. But I think mentioning the Allspark thing is worthwhile, because there's too much inflexibility about what a MacGuffin is or isn't. When we have Wiki editors advocating one position *largely without references* against *published* meanings of the word used by the likes of Lucas and Ebert, you have to wonder about where they get their certainty from. I'm not saying their wrong, but I do suspect their purist interpretation of what Hitchcock means might not be the only valid one within the industry. Hence, I'm happy to play Devil's advocate here, and to push for a more inclusive article that more accurately describes the usage in the industry comes out. God knows why, because I really couldn't care less about the subject! Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 17:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

2005 came before 2006, not after it. The DS Lite came out in 2006. The Game Boy micro came out in 2005.
