Blablaaa

Hello. Please can you explain this edit. What evidence do you have that the user has abused multiple accounts? Thanks. --Deskana (talk) 10:19, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

• Hello Desk, after reading this, I left a note on User:Jehochman's talk page hoping that he or someone else could come along to clear up on the puzzling fact why User:Blablaaa1 has been cross-linked on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Wikinger. Please correct me if I got it wrong, thoughts? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™} 10:33, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

The Blablaaa1 account looks more like an impersonator than it does a doppelganger (and actually, that's what it was blocked for). I've removed the sockpuppet template from Blablaaa's user page. Thanks. --Deskana (talk) 11:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

• C U later, alligator~! =P --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™} 11:09, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I think User:Blablaaa claimed Blablaaa1 as a doppleganger account. Perhaps this bears further scrutiny. Jehochman ^Talk 13:51, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

He did. I wonder whether it has something to do with a language barrier. For instance, when I hear "doppelganger" outside of a Wikipedia context, it makes me thing of strange little creatures from RPGs that steal your form and pretend to be you. On Wikipedia, we'd call that an impersonator, not a doppelganger. Perhaps he was thinking of the same thing. Either way, checkuser indicated pretty clearly that Blablaaa1 is not him. Incidentally, neither is Blablaaa0. --Deskana (talk) 13:55, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Interesting. This is a perfectly understandable error in retrospect. Several of us thought Blablaaa was a sock of a banned user, when in fact he was not. Jehochman ^Talk 13:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

• Same here but we obviously need a checkuser to help us, so I'm glad that Desk showed up and cleared up the smoke although I must say that I'm not the only one being smoked here. Ever wonder what summer vacation means for kids? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™} 14:06, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

OWB

Hey, I just noticed your amusing edit on the talk page to WP:OWB -- thanks! I just love the King James ... it's the aesthetic splendor of that language, that flows regally from the page. It's unmatched. Regarding my essay, well, I had no idea when I started writing it that I would probably get more personal satisfaction from that set of scurrilous observations than just about anything else I've written on Wikipedia. But then it's fun to generalize and I love reading aphorists. (It always amuses me when they piss someone off; look at Anonymous44's thread on that page; I never did find out which one poked him.) Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 02:15, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

• IMO, what you've written is nothing less than being a neutral third party's observation of the myriad of user behavioural patterns here on Wikipedia, very accurately summarised~! Note that I have quoted OWB to a few Admins above... guess you're not surprised how it fits their obliviousness to OWB sometimes but I guess we're all human beings, and human beings do make mistakes. Just hope they learn and become wiser through that learning process. Cheers~! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™} 02:50, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

KF-X

Dave, could you look at this deletion, the second one in a day or so, to the Korea Aerospace Industries KF-X page? Seems a bit odd. Thanks - BilCat (talk) 23:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Btw, better call the exterminator! - BilCat (talk) 02:51, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• Done, someone else already did on ANI. Shall we standby and watch the noose going to work again on the poor assless chap? (Read up also on WP:OWB#8 & WP:OWB#26.) --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦№1185♪♫™} 06:08, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

BITE

You were correct in what you said but you did kind of bite. Though some newbies may be delicious, a trout is much tastier. Slàinte mhòr agad. Justin talk 01:50, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

• Yikes, that's one mean trout you've got there, you'd better be alert when you go wee wee, it'll bite your **** off if you aren't looking out for it. =P (P.S.:Welcome back~!) --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦№1185♪♫™} 01:59, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

French flag in user section of Spike

Dave Before you yell "Heresy!" and have a heart attack, read the note first. The French flag will probably come down in a month and then go back up in a month. This is going to be a battle royal between the lobbyist for the French defence industry and the French Army. I am betting on the French defence industry. But the French Army says they need a modern fire and forget top attack antitank missile and the Javelin is to expensive so it is the Spike which a lot of other European nations have adopted is Option #2. Jack --Jackehammond (talk) 04:33, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

• Hello Inspector Clouseau~! Actually, I've knew about it and was wondering when you would be popping by to do just that (and boy has it been a long wait~!) because seriously, my French sucks... other than uttering a couple of "bonjour", "merci", "oui", "moi" and "ménage à trois" (← this I did not do~!). But frankly, I trust you with this one as I've known that you seem to be on very good terms with the French... so just fire away, you have my support here. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦№1185♪♫™} 12:15, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

F-16

Wow, talk about self-destruction! No attempt to even pretend to be civil. The funny thing is, I supported the title using LM instead of GD, as did several other users. It could have gone either way, yet it's all a sign of bias! Strange! - BilCat (talk) 09:47, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, that happened after I began my sleep period. I'm done assuming good faith with this person. He can be civil when he wants to, as exhibited by his other edits in the past few days on that IP.

User:Raj Kumar Gupta basti

I see you tagged User:Raj Kumar Gupta basti with {{db-banned}}. However, as far as I can see the user was not banned at the time of the creation of the page. {{db-banned}} does not apply retrospectively: i.e. a page can't be deleted because the editor who created it has subsequently been banned or blocked. On this occasion I have deleted the page anyway as spam, but I thought it might be helpful to warn you for the future. Using the wrong speedy deletion reason can often lead to a page not getting deleted when it would have been with a different reason given. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:46, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Dave, do you have any idea wht this is supposed to mean? I guess he means some kind of comparison, but I'm really not sure! We have a SImple English WP, so maybe it's time for an "Internations" English WP, so people can comparate aircrafts. ;) - BilCat (talk) 21:22, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I assume you've seen this threat to "help my victims"? Some people just don't know when to quit. I've issued a stern warning in response to that, but I doubt it will have the intended effect. Oh well, looks like I'm off of the football subjects again. Sheesh! - BilCat (talk) 07:38, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Closing old discussions

I'm not really clear about the usefulness of adding closed tags to old discussions as here, especially if the discussion is not very contentious or controversial. It;s not something parcticed in gereral for non-controversail conversations. Just asking. - BilCat (talk) 08:59, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

• Bill, I try to strike a balance when I go around discussion pages to place such tags, especially when any particular thread begin to show signs of pointing in the direction of C/C. Anyway, its best to nip it in the bud before it gets out of control later (per WP:Drama & WP:Forum), more so considering that some of these editors are not that mature in their choice of words or train of thoughts. Hope this help clear things up for us. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I understand, but still don't think it's necessary in those cases. However, it's not worth making an issue of it. I wont wikilawyer about it! - BilCat (talk) 09:38, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for ther clean-up. Btw, I thought "It looks like a doc" was funny. I'm getting the impression from this version of their homepage that English might not be his mother tongue, which might explain some of the inability to understand some things. Oh well, he might return again if I keep writing , so I'll shut up now. - BilCat (talk) 14:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

• Adding the close discussion templates does not seem needed in most cases. But then users will come by and reply in a talk section that is 1-2 years old too. Given that, it is not a bad idea.. -fnlayson (talk) 16:10, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I've been on WP to know that if something is a good idea, seems logical, or makes sense, then there's probably a guidelien against it already! Better check. - BilCat (talk) 16:17, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Apologies

I hope you don't take some of the things I say to heart. I apologise for speaking a bit harshly but I mean well. And I have been here truly longer than you have, in fact longer even than User talk:Huaiwei. I hate to say certain things because I came to Wikipedia merely to edit, and lots of edit wars in the past (not involving myself; nevertheless...) pissed me off no-end, to put crudely. I can never tell if a Singaporean is young, old, mature or otherwise and I do have some things that I have to do concurrently. Whatever it is I sincerely apologise.

You may think I am talking you down but I do hope Singaporeans hold themselves up as a beacon in Wikipedia. In the past, some Singaporeans get into meaningless edit wars using edit summaries. I don't want to count seniority but one event in particular, constant edit warring between Huaiwei and a Hong Kong user named Instantnood, made me reflect quite deeply on whether I should edit under a registered username ever again. I choose to be as nondescript as possible. I registered two years ago and as you can see, I hardly get any messages.

Whatever it is, please don't take this to heart. I do apologise. Let's get to the business of editing. If we both are civil this kind of things won't happen again, but like what I say, my patience is a bit short owing to past experience, and I especially dislike seeing people use Wikipedia as a platform to put down another user. Of course I don't mean you, merely experience has shaped my expectations.

If you wish to delete this after this, by all means do. Once again, I hope you understand I'm not trying to make things difficult for you and apologies once more. DORC (talk) 20:08, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

• Obviously, you've no idea that seniority count towards nothing here on Wikipedia, please stop with your “倚老卖老” mentality of pulling seniority/rank because I don't buy that. Also, you've no idea who's been keeping the Singapore article page cleared of vandals and POV-pusher (including WP:Civil POV pushing) all this while in your absence, eh? None other than yours sincerely here. If you had check it again, you'd noticed that I've gotten it semi-protected against editing by newly registered users as well as IP editors (most of them make no attempt to hide their intention and they don't usually provide an edit summary either... so do you see the similarity between you and them now?) due to their persistent introduction of patent nonsense and silly vandalism edits. Do us all a favor here by sticking to the simple courtesy act of providing a short and concise explanation/summary of your actions, such as... re = replied, rvv = revert vandalism, amd = amended, rmv PN = remove patent nonsense, el at... is that really too much to ask of you? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 01:59, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Dave, should we tell him what dork means in English, or let him figure it out from the DAB page? (A hint: I don't use vulgarity, so that one is not what I meant, and a definition I've never heard before.) - BilCat (talk) 03:37, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Seems like we ought to let him have the last word, since he hasn't started listening yet.

• Happens all the time, reminds me of a particular hotshot pilot (can't reveal his country of origin, sorry!) who did just that and was promptly shot down by his mentor, who told him and I quote: "Shut up and listen, simulation means no shit to us if you haven't even logged 2,500 hours in actual flight time!". To begin with, the newbie wasn't even ex-air force (but his mentor and SLAME were! *ahem*), let alone trying to get that magical number of 1,000 hours of actual flight time.

As far as I am concerned, you should not list others as trolls as you did to User:B767-500, User:Wispanow, User:Toyotaboy95, and User:HupHollandHup. Such action can be regarded as personal attack, and as a result you may be BLOCKED. Therefore, take heed! -- Scania N113 (talk) 13:54, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
