IP block

Sorry that you were unable to edit recently, but as you can see at Special:Contributions/64.136.26.226 this IP has been vandalizing a lot lately. I'm afraid it is not quite as easy to just unblock a username and not an IP just yet. So I have unblocked the IP for now. Please be aware that if the vandalism persists there may be more blocks, however we will try to keep them to a minimum now that we know that your IP is used by many users. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 05:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

please tamp it down

This isn't harassment but it's in the leafy outskirts. Please talk about content and sources, not what you think might befall other editors. You might think it was harmless, but nonetheless this kind of post only stirs things up and won't get you what you want for long. This is meant as a warning, but a friendly one. It's not to be seen as taking sides in any content or PoV dispute. All the best, Gwen Gale (talk) 09:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Courtesy note: I wanted to let you know about this conversation. Thanks. Ikip (talk) 06:35, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

RfC Collect

Could you give your impressions of Collect at his RfC based on your interaction with him at Joe the Plumber (include other if there is any thnx). The RfC is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Collect Soxwon (talk) 13:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

It is indeed very much still open. Feel free to comment. Soxwon (talk) 22:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

That was quite the comment. Cheers. Mattnad (talk) 01:55, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Sluggo, regarding your RfC comments, please remove (not strike but remove) the comments about another editors being "insane" and "arrogant dolt". This only makes you look bad, not the editors you are talking badly about. The most sucessful editors on wikipedia are editors who keep it cool, and never call other editors names (some refer to this as being passive agressive). If you want to bitch about editors, do it off wiki, in email or wikipedia review, not on wikipedia.

There is already a request to move your comments to talk: Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/Collect#Outside_View_SluggoOne

I was thinking of emailing you*

*You should activate your email account at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences. Most editors will not look at your user page for your email, and you will get into a edit war with an editor and they will spam your email. You can have the user page deleted by adding {{db-author}}, so no future editors will get your email

Anyway, I was thinking of emailing you, but your behavior seems a little self-destructive and unpredictable, you seem to be attacking everyone and everything. I don't want any help I try to provide you to blow up in my face (I am reminded of user:deeceevoice). Ikip (talk) 03:50, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I know, I know. It's about me, not what I said. The guy's gone, hopefully for good, so who cares? It really takes some odd priorities to see the havoc Collect has wrought and think, "gee, this other random guy ought to be more civil." Based on your considerable efforts at the RfC, you definitely have better ways of spending your time. (Thanks, also, for the concern, but do you have Gmail? Their spam filters are the best, bar none.) SluggoOne (talk) 04:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I have gmail and yahoo.

Unfortunatly on wikipedia bad comments are more punished than disruptive behavior. I dont like it, but that is the reality we must live in. I support NPA, but I feel like disruptive behavior should be punished more.

Best wishes, Ikip (talk) 14:30, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I have not been punished a bit, and I maintain it's because, unpleasant as my comments may be, I haven't actually said anything wrong and what I say tends to agree with consensus. Most people are just as appalled by Collect's arrogance as I am; the only thing that annoys me more is the lack of reaction by people (read: admins) with the power to keep him in check. I make no apologies. I'll be watching the discussion at ANI if it ever happens. I assume I won't be asked to contribute.

You ought to phase out your Yahoo email. I did. Yahoo mail and Hotmail are just not as good as Gmail, which was a predictable ending, wasn't it? SluggoOne (talk) 02:02, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: "I have not been punished a bit" your a new editor, who has not crossed powerful editors. All our edits are recorded here, ready for opposing editors to harvest. I am simply trying to help you avoid my repeated 4 years of turbulent mistakes here on wikipedia. Recently, I attempted to help an editor here, who talks a lot like you: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Dream Focus This is your future.

Your edits are minor and no threat to any established editors, but if you ever cross one of these editors, you will be on ANI, just like Dream Focus, who has your same attitude. When you get reported to ANI, editors will not agree with this comment: "I haven't actually said anything wrong and what I say tends to agree with consensus"

You are incredibly lucky that you have not crossed an established editor in a bad mood yet, otherwise you would already have a block log, which will follow you as long as you are on wikipedia with this user name. Ikip (talk) 03:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
