As I recall you asked for a source to confirm Kentucky's numbers from the Southern Focus Study (which for some reason you didn't believe) which in tern confirms Kentucky's Southernness.

I'm getting really tired of this. I just give up on the GTZ article. Maybe we can let it slide this time and overturn it later. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 22:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I just wanted to point out that the above comment was not left by Nihonjoe, as indicated, but rather a sock impersonating him.-Chunky Rice 06:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I want to stop but I can't. I don't know why I'm doing this anymore. I don't even care about the article. I just want to stop this and forget about it. I don't know why I allowed it to go this far.
Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.
Regards,
16:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Bummer that you are leaving. Of course, we'd like it if you stayed :). --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 16:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to ((inactive)) and/or ((historical)) status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Stop reverting all my edits. I am from WV and I hear all of this in the time I have been around and read them. I know Im right. Nevilledad 19:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Iraq in Fragments.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed the Thurmond part for now and left somethign about Byrd renouncing his views. I can see where the other editor is coming from, and it is a bit snarky at ol' Strom. It is probably best to keep the article focused on Byrd, since keeping npov has been quite a tricky task. youngamerican (wtf?) 17:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Including your ip edit, I count 4 reverts by you. You have been blocked for 24 hours for the violation. I have speedy deleted the sock catagory. Spartaz Humbug! 04:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Seicer (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
My reverts, as cited at ANI#Wikistalking and possible WP:COI, I felt were justified because they were corrupting citation templates and rendering the references unusable. They were later not reverted for content but for the corruption, as stated in the edit summaries, and I took up the discussion at the respective talk pages. Other editors at Robert Byrd and Strom Thurmond agreed with my edits as well. I am looking for an opinion on the subject, because quite frankly, I'm up against a wall: I added in two reliable sources and they are continuously reverted, deleted and/or corrupted. I am being Wikistalked, as evidenced by the numerous edit summaries the offending user has placed. And I have confessed to using the IP address here, so I am not attempting to hide anything. I'm not upset by a 3RR block, as I did revert four times, so it is of no consequence if the block continues. Granted that I didn't check the exception list before editing, which is an error on my part, I won't repeat the mistake again.
Decline reason:
This seems to be a content dispute about whether or not an assertion about Strom Thurmond should be added to an article, associated with a source citation. Revert-warring about it violates WP:3RR. — Sandstein 05:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Hello, Seicer. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
Regards, Rschen7754 (T C) 23:34, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps it is the best move for now. Are these IPs proxies as they keep shifting at every edit? But frankly, I despise specialized tags such as ((gamecleanup)). If an article doesn't conform to a WikiProject's MOS, then it should be flagged through their talkpage banner instead of a project template that masquerades as a cleanup tag, which reeks of WP:OWNership. --Farix (Talk) 00:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
SPAs/checkuser/open proxies are outside my field of specialty. However, I can spot a pattern of abusive edits, and the AfD nomination looks disruptive. Accordingly, I speedy-kept the article and closed the current AfD, and I protected the page. Keep me advised if another angle of attack is tried on the page. —C.Fred (talk) 00:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
You might also have a look at User_talk:Keetoowah. It has been alleged that the former Keetoowah is the current Getaway (at least by User:Eleemosynary). Ossified 20:29, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Reagrding your message on DCooper's talk page, I don't think that Keetoowah is a sock of Getaway, I think that it is Getaway's original account which he abandoned, perhaps as a result of accumulating a number of warnings and generating some ill will. Ossified 22:58, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Is http://www.uky.edu/OPBPA/whytop20.htm the site you are claiming supports the ranking info? Because it doesn't mention it. -- John Reaves 21:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
I note that you appear to have "reverted" my changes to your entry entitled "Urban Exploration".
I am an engineer involved in the utility industry which is being adversely affected by this so-called hobby. There are individuals out there who care nothing for their own safety by entering sewers, and expect firefighters and paramedics to rescue them should they encounter trouble. Furthermore, there are accounts of "urban explorers" forcibly gaining access to drinking water reservoirs - surely I do not need to elaborate on the problems that these people are causing by their activity?
If Wikipedia is to permit links to websites which support this type of activity, then I can only assume that they are willing to share the responsibility for the resulting death and injury that is bound to result if it is not curtailed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scumspawn (talk • contribs) 00:47, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I hope this was just a misunderstanding, and you have no problems with the categories being removed given that they are on the state articles. If you do, you may wish to "reopen" Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads#Browsing on multistate articles when state-detail articles exist (which is about browsing but easily applicable to categories too). --NE2 18:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I noticed you had to deal with this abusive editor in the past, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Apparently, a few days after a Wikiquette civility report was filed on Getaway, he -- true to form -- abandoned his account (as he formerly did with Keetowah), and created a new account a few days later: JobsElihu. He's ramped up the incivility by a power of 10, is engaging in the same 3RR threats/wars, and appears to have gone over the edge. It also seems he is using this sock account to evade his block history. See his edit summaries here compared with his ones here. There's also overlap editing by both accounts on the Sam Brownback page. I think it's long overdue for an RfC or RfA on this guy. Any suggestions where to go from here? --Eleemosynary 14:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Spent some time reviewing the history of the article and the redirect, Tudor Chirilă. I'm prepared to let the article stand as it is but have obviously watchlisted it.

If you are willing, please leave your answers on my talk page or e-mail them to me.
This research will not be published academically, as this research is primarily to demonstrate the feasibility of doing online ethnography in online only communities such as Wikipedia, though I intend to make my findings available on Wiki. Your name will not be associated with any information you provide in any published work. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you. --Cspurrier (talk) 18:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Would you be able to tell me where you referred the wikiquette to? I would also appreciate if you could explain why? Cheers--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♣♥♦ 02:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Consensus does not work like this. I ignored the discussion because I felt you were just trying to disrupt Wikipedia and I said that sterile discussions with a troll are useless. I disagree with the proposal and I am sure that virtually every wikipedian from a country which uses diacritics will be against this. I'm sure that if someone announces the Eastern European noticeboards, you'll get plenty of people with whom to argue, but what's the point? bogdan (talk) 01:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
OK, so my position remains, "no vote"; and I'll explain. IIRC, in the (ongoing, eternal) matter between me and Ronz, you were the one who commented (to my Wikiquette, see the RfC) that the matter was too complex. The RfC never got even that much response. The battle is ugly, and the material is spread over many pages and camoflaged with superficialities, so I can't blame anyone for not solving it for me; but I was disappointed. Now, your nomination seems to be doing well, and I had intended my comment in the "con" side to ameliorate the animosity from the Anti-anti-science camp (which probably has the strength to squirrel a nomination against mere consensus, much less a mere majority). I don't think you are a purveyor of quackery; I myself am just sympathetic to widely held public views, which should provoke education, not animousity. Recusing yourself on the grounds given is reasonable too; but again, it's not brave. It's not the courageous choice IMO. So I remain no-vote; I'm in the market for courage currently, not mere patience. But I certainly don't oppose: most soldiers are yeomen, not heroes, and the wiki needs plenty of soldiers. And maybe if you mediate Cold Fusion you are a hero. Pete St.John (talk) 20:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

You recently chastised me about some unsourced information on the History of Taiwan page. I'm not sure what you are talking about. Perhaps you could point out the particular revision.Readin (talk) 20:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
For some reason the links were acting funny, or I was mis-clicking. I ended up looking at the Taiwan page. The edits in question for the History of Taiwan article were not addition of new information. It was putting back in place long-standing well-known useful information that had been anonymously deleted without explanation. It was not the only information in the article that is lacking a source. Normally before deleting something that has been around for a while and presumably not controversial and isn't thought wrong by others, you flag it with a citation-needed or even a dubious tag to give someone a chance to defend it. If you're really dubious about the information and think it needs deletion quickly, it is polite to copy it to the discussion page and explain why you deleted it. Instead the anonymous deleter picked two paragraphs out of many unsourced paragraphs on the page, a paragraph whose facts happen to show a particular political party in a bad light. All this looked to me like someone trying to make a political edit or whitewash rather than someone trying to make an honest improvement. So I undid the change and requested an explanation for the deletion. My note on the edit read "reverting removal of useful content. If content should be removed, please say why". Should the two of us make an effort to immediately delete all unsourced information on the page, or just those two paragraphs?Readin (talk) 20:56, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:BernieWard.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

My speedy tagging of this userbox had nothing to do with the MfD. The userbox is unused, and is located in the main article namespace. Were it used, it would make sense to move it to template space or to a subpage of User:UBX. But, it isn't. Please have a look at [5]. It's not transcluded anywhere. Template:User SavSt DOES exist and is actually in use as transcluded [6]. So if you would please delete [[Savannah State University/Userbox]]?

Hi Seicer, I saw you deleted images uploaded by Blueberrypie12 on the grounds that he's a banned user. He isn't banned. His accounts have been blocked for sockpuppetry, although it's not clear why -- he used one account after another, not in violation of WP:SOCK, so far as I know. But regardless, he is blocked, not banned, so there would be no reason to delete his images, unless they violate the policies in some way, which I believe some of them did, but not all.

Seicer, nobody has voted oppose on your RfA. I believe that you are clearly manipulating other editors with mind control, and demand that you stop it at once. --Cheeser1 (talk) 15:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I really have no idea what to say. I'm quite speechless actually, and I never imagined that I would receive such unanimous support from other editors and administrators. I find it really quite heartening that so many feel so strongly about my positive contributions that they are willing to forgive for my prior mistakes, and that they have a lot of vested interest in seeing me succeed as a potential administrator. Reading over the comments at my RfA has put a large smile on my face, and has reinforced the notion that my contributions for the past year and a half have been worth it, despite the adversity, personal attacks and harassment that I have endured over the years. Thanks for the gracious comments, they have been very well received, and I will do everything in my vested power to ensure that I uphold the role of an administrator to the highest standard.

You may recall a wikiquette item I had brought regarding Ronz; the only comment was yours, that it was too complex for a WQA. I created an RfC but that go no comments at all.
Now in response to Ronz's complaint (posted at my talk, where it was unwelcome as per the above) I moved the complaint and my answer to a new wikiquette. Presumably, since it reflects Ronz's complaint against me as much as mine against him, it might get more attention this time. Pete St.John (talk) 21:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Seicer, you just deleted a page I just created. I think the page should be expanded instead. The reason of the deletion was because it looks like balant advertising. It's not. I just was seaching about web desktop solution as part of my daily job tasks (IT) and found this one. I was surprised by the fact that Wikipedia was lacking an article on the subject, so I decided to create one. Even before I finish, when I hit the save button to see how it looks, the article was tagged ((db-spam)). That was quick. I didn't even finish and someone else was guessing that I was advertising something. Don't give me wrong, I admire you all guys for your effort to keep Wikipedia reliable, but I also think that sometimes some of you just exagerate. Finally, i was just trying to create an article for a technology and it was deleted. Please check WebOS to see what I mean. --Rosant (talk) 03:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Dear Seicer, I saw that you speedy deleted this page. I am in agreement with this decision. I am thinking that this page and this should also be speedily deleted. The latter was the talk page of G4-speedy delete page (actually, the third speedy delete of pages with slight name variations). There was nothing new discussed on the page -- same old rehashing of discussions from the previous delete with the addition of a purported "new" user who got blocked today for 1 week due to personal attacks.

Would you mind closing this? I already shot my mouth off. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 06:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Oops. Accidently tagged the wrong thing: User:Kaiba/Award is supposed to be undeleted and User:Save Us 229/Award should be deleted.
P.S. If you could deleted User:Save Us 229/monobook.js it would be much appriciated. — Save_Us † 13:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I went to place a username block on this user talk page and noticed that you had deleted it as an orphaned talk page. I presume this was an automated response (ala Twinkle) following the deletion of the userpage as promotional. Since I expect that you didn't intend to delete a user talk page under this rationale (user talk pages being excluded under WP:CSD#G8) and since the user might (if he comes back) benefit from seeing why the userpage was deleted, I've taken the liberty of restoring it before placing the block notice. I would prefer to ask you first, but you seem to be gone at the moment, and I expect that this restoration would be uncontroversial. If I'm wrong, I heartily apologize. :) It's not my intention or desire to step on your toes here. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Please do not re-create talk pages of deleted articles, as these will be speedy deleted. See WP:CSD. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 19:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

After renames, deletions of the previous user and user talk pages are generally not performed, unless exceptional circumstance exists. Keeping these as redirects increases transparency. Would you mind restoring this page? seresin | wasn't he just...? 01:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Why was this page deleted?
Styleslut is a Trademarked brand that has received worldwide press and I have legitimate refrences for all achievements/qoutes/statements etc. Thanks

Styleslut is a cult London-based blog that takes a cutting look at music, fashion and lifestyle issues, often with a satirical or ironic edge. Popular with the underground 'scenester' community, the blog is often cited as one of the many catalysts for the 'nu-rave' scene. (Although, the blog has since renounced the movement and often mocks it.)
Here are links to 6 'non-trivial' articles regarding Styleslut from respected publications and websites such as 'The Guardian' 'NME', 'RWD', 'Time Out' 'Dazed and Confused' and 'myspace.com'. http://music.guardian.co.uk/urban/story/0,,2204182,00.html http://www.dazeddigital.com/incoming/item.aspx?a=340 http://bp1.blogger.com/_ABdF67EWGBc/RwFOnT35AuI/AAAAAAAAAIA/w3AP4P9Rp6I/s1600-h/donald.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c227/styleslut/styleslutmyspace.jpg http://www.rwdmag.com/articles/5094.html http://www.timeout.com/london/clubs/events/395236/styleslut_presents_hood-stonbury-07.html
The site was also voted as one of 'the top 5 blogs in Europe' in 'the peoples choice' category at the 2006 BT 'Online Music Awards':

The blog can also be found at 'www.thestyleslut.com' and has numerous contributions from writers, graphic designers and photographers from all over the world, so it is not a 'personal blog'.
The page was still 'under construction', which is why the links had not yet been added.
Please restore the page as the site meets the core requirements.

Hi, there is a backlog at the SSP page and i was just hoping you can take a look at this case i made, [9]. Seems no one has yet looked into it, no one i have contacted has been of help, and the user has used yet another I.P. as a vandalism-only account. One of the users IPs has just vandalized multiple page again and i am seriously getting tired of having to revert all of his mess everyday. Please look into it. -- LaNicoya •Talk• LaNicoya (talk) 02:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
If that is the guideline then why don't the Orlando resorts state the specific city that they are in? 74.163.224.123 (talk) 18:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Next time read the question. I didn't ask about a category. Read the 1st sentence in all the Las Vegas area casinos articles, they all say in Paradise, Nevada. 74.163.224.123 (talk) 19:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
As what may be the final consequence of your "this issue is too complex for a WQA", I've finally made an AN/I. But no, it probably won't be :-) Pete St.John (talk) 19:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

If I might jump in: I would recommend DRV and/or some sort of discussion central to the AfD (maybe on its talk page). The closing admin is really the one responsible for assessing whether to delete these articles. Seicer was just deleting things that had been AfD'd as delete. He might have realized that the closing admin had made a mistake (if indeed s/he did), but it's really not something to bring up with Seicer. Have you brought it up with User:Secret? --Cheeser1 (talk) 23:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
After a self-imposed hiatus since the unpleasantness of a few weeks ago, I just now checked back to see how the mediation was going. I'm impressed with your progress. Ronnotel (talk) 21:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I disagree with the deletion of this topic. The product is mentioned in several articles past and present in Wikipedia and is one of the three or four most widely used GUI functional testing software solutions for Windows. Several other products of similar functionality and market usage have wikipedia pages (IBM Rational Functional Tester, HP QuickTest Professional, Winrunner, SilkTest). Rather than simply referring readers to a Compuware webpage that has marketing information only, I thought it appropriate to begin a page that talks about the product in a manner similar to others listed on Wikipedia. Granted, the initial article was very brief, but isn't unlike the article for IBM Rational Functional Tester (for example).
Moreover, now for the pages where I have taken the static (unlinked) references to TestPartner and redirected them to the topic, I am now receiving complaints that there's no page...
In short, I would like the text of the original article restored or, if not, I would like a copy of the original text in order to appeal elsewhere and/or create a more extensive initial article that, again, would be consistent with those of other similar software that have pages here on Wikipedia.

I thouhgt I put the (pink) speedy deleteion tag on those templates seven days ago. This is past seven days approx. when will they all be delete?--Freewayguy (Webmail) 01:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for this. Did I do it appropriately with the note in talk pointing to the AfD under the other name? I'm keeping an eye out for this one to pop up again, I think we're going to be playing whack-a-mole. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 03:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
