Mywayyy

Hi Aldux, the Greek geo articles were recently unprotected again, but Mywayyy hasn't given up and keeps reverting twice or three times daily. Would you consider re-protecting? Please see User:Future Perfect at Sunrise/Mywayyy for the details to-date. -- As for something different, the posting above is by a new user who was trying to make some changes to Macedonians (ethnic group) but was reverted, by Telex and others. It might be good if someone kept an eye on it to make sure he understands the rules of NPOV, but also that he doesn't get bitten. Cheers, Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Slavery

Is it really? I thought I recognized the style...Bridesmill 13:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

There are very little doubts IMO.--Aldux 15:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

New user

Hello. The contributions of a "new" user SemiProtected appear to be directed at you. Perhaps you want to take a look. Jonathunder 17:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Indo-Greek kingdom

Hi Aldux, please await PHG's reply to the debate before reverting the image. Regards Vastu 11:15, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

In reponse to your revert comment, there is indeed no reason it should remian - and until the debate is resolved, no reason the original should either - yet you have favoured keeping that. Vastu 11:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

The awnser is very simple - PHG's map has successfully passed through a Featured article nomination, your's has not, and generally speaking PHG is the main author of several featured articles. So don't be surprised I tend to value PHG's opinion particularly highly.--Aldux 12:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

So have you read the article and decided for yourself, or are you mearly going on this 'reputation', which im sure a person like PHG neither desires or requires, as they obiously consider scholarship paramount to dogma. I shouldnt have to remind you that wikipedia is open to anyone - you are engaging in vandalism of someone's legitimate edit, which has not yet been disproven in any argument. Indeed, I am still awaiting PHG's reply - I am unsure whether he/she plans to reply at all, as they are usually punctual - until then, your reversion amounts to vandalism. I am beggining to suspect ulterior motives here, i.e. Hellenic bias, else why did you revert the image, and not allow PHG to decide? Vastu 18:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

You will be glad to know that the issue has almost been resolved, and by the latest comment from PHG, will likely end with the general outline of the latest map, with some minor alterations (thinkening of the campaign line. Vastu 10:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Albanians in the Republic

Per request, regards. I'll be watching it. Perhaps apply for mediation? - FrancisTyers · 21:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Now what republic would that ^---^ be? Ha ha. Thanks Al, for the note. I responded accordingly. Feel free to LMTO! :NikoSilver: 00:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Eluchil404's RfA

Thank you for taking the time to express an opinion in my recent request for adminship. I have withdrawn my self-nomination because there seemed little prospect for further productive discussion or the formation of a consensus to promote. Many commentators offered constructive critisism that I will use to improve myself as a user. Others suggested that the nomination was premature and that a re-nom in a few months would be more likely to gain consensus. You suggested that I did not yet have enough experience for adminship. If you have the time, I would be curious as to what level of edits or time on wikipedia you consider sufficient. As there is a wide range of opinion on these matters I want to do my best to gauge the rough consensus on these issues. Ciao! Eluchil404 20:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you so much for voting in my recent RFA. It passed on the relatively narrow vote of 38/8/8.

Chad-Sudan sign an accord...again

Title says it all.[1] I dont have time to put up a page... but might I suggest 2006 Chad-Sudan Accord? Tchadienne 17:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

N'Djamena Accord sounds good - as a title, not in practical terms. From what I've read the accord does not differ at all from the last one so its significance is highly questionable. Regarding Janjaweed, it seems as though the Sudanese government provides money and arms to the Janjaweed, but their actual control and oversight over Janjaweed incursions is unknown and debatable. Janjaweed and the Sudanese Government have similar goals but have fought against each other, according to HRW's report, during this conflict. Tchadienne 22:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

my RfA

Thanks for your opinions in my RfA. Ultimately, the request did not pass, with a vote of (43/16/7). But your honest opinion was appreciated and I'll just keep right on doing what I do. Maybe I'll see ya around -- I'll be here!
Cheers! - CheNuevara 17:46, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Request

Hi Aldux,

First off, congratulations on your successful RfA. :) It appears that Mywayyy is reverting articles again. Could you please protect Pharmakonisi, Gyali, Gavdos, Fourni Korseon, Arkoi, and Agathonisi? I doubt anons will normally go to those articles anyways. Thanks! —Khoikhoi 17:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again. —Khoikhoi 18:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Asteraki

User:84.164.* are Asteraki in case you were wondering :) — see Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Asteraki. - FrancisTyers · 16:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Darn, I always confound Asteraki and Kamikazi, maybe because they're so similar ;-)--Aldux 17:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

inappropriate behavior

Your changing of someone else's comments on User:Jkelly's talk page is rude, and vandalism. Please don't do this again.--Vidkun 14:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Vidkun is quite mistaken. Aldux left a message on Jkelly's page[2] and Vidkun Yabafh vandalized it[3] — his first ever edit. Aldux merely undid the vandalism.[4] Why he didn't block the vandal, I can't imagine. (I have now rectified that!) AnnH ♫ 14:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

So, while we are in the midst of pointing out honest mistakes, you want to fix yours, up there?--Vidkun 14:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Vidkun, thanks for trying to keep my talk page from being abused. It is appreciated. Clearly you haven't met Aldux yet, so you wouldn't know that there is really no danger of vandalism from this account. Jkelly 15:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for not checking the history, Aldux.--Vidkun 14:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Iasson

If Iasson is a banned user, then the thing to do is to rollback every edit from a sockpuppet (even any good edits). It is annoying, especially when other editors who don't know the situation get worked up about it (this happens especially when rolling back messages to user talkpages). But it is the only way to enforce a ban, and it is also the only way to make sure that attempting to create new accounts and continue disrupting Wikipedia is not rewarding. I don't know who Iasson is, which suggests that it might make sense to make sure that you have a summary of the situation handy to link to and to ask more admins to help out. Welcome to adminship!
