I don't know where to begin... Perhaps I should start from the begining... July 5, 2009. My fiance left me (as my userpage has said for some time now) and I decided to take a wikibreak. I left, sorted out my life, got a job (at lowes for anyone who's interested), and read a few good books. I have not looked at wikipedia since that day. Now, the first time I log on in more than a month, and I find my talk page full of crap that I had nothing to do with. |
|||
Obviously some (or most) of you will see this as a cop out, but it is not. However, my account has been compromised. I am changing the password, and will attempt to figure out that cryptographic hash thing so this doesn't happen again. |
|||
Reality bites. My fiance left me today (July 5, 2009). We have been together for two and a half years, and were supposed to get married by the end of this year. I have lost her, and her son. |
|||
I really don't know what to say. Either you will believe me or you won't. I am deeply disturbed by the events that have taken place under my name.[[User:Drew R. Smith|<b style="font-size:bigger;color:#900">''D''</b>]]rew [[User talk:Drew R. Smith|<b style="font-size:bigger;color:#900">''S''</b>mith]] [[Special:Contributions/Drew R.

|||
This is a massive, and disorienting upheaval of my life. I need to take some time to figure out what to do now. I'm not sure if I will return at all. If I haven't come back in two months, I'd like someone to blank my userpage, and user talk page, and replace it with a retired template. |
|||
== I'm sorry == |
|||
I do hope your personal issues are resolved. I hope that you will come back, but that's not any concern. I don't blame you if you don't return.

== Blanking of user pages == |

You need to not do these sorts of blankings ( [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AKillerChihuahua%2Fawards&diff=301501897&oldid=299559266], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ALar%2FTrinkets&diff=301501801&oldid=300274072], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:KillerChihuahua/awards&diff=next&oldid=301508693], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lar/Trinkets&diff=next&oldid=301508750] ) again. Please review [[WP:POINT]]. If you seriously think the page in question needs to not be there, discuss it with the user directly, and if that fails, nominate it at [[WP:MFD]]. If I see another blanking like that, it will result in a block with no further warning given, because I know you know better. ++[[User:Lar|Lar]]: [[User_talk:Lar|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Lar|c]] 16:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC) |

{{Ditched}} |
|||
In all seriousness, I do hope you get through this. I feel for you, having been ditched myself recently, I tried to drink her away but the heartache is still there when I'm sober, and that emotional pain is worse than any kind of physical pain. I found the best way to take my mind off of her was to involve myself full-time with reading and editing Wikipedia and that actually brought me comfort and consolation. This is just one of the ways Wikipedia has changed my life. So my best advice to you would be to continue editing.. maybe she'll realize her mistake and call you. Keep up hope.

|||
::::::::::: It's no glitch. That's the standard way things work here. For example, if someone creates an article that gets deleted, the article, its edit history, and all the edits to that article in the creator's (and other's) edit history disappear. The only evidence left will be a notice at the page that ''"Warning: You are recreating a page that was previously deleted. You should consider whether it is appropriate to continue editing this page. The deletion and move log for this page are provided here for convenience: [link]"'' Even better evidence of its previous existence (but still not evidence in edit histories) is when it is mentioned in AfDs. There it will be named with a redlink, and there may be information about content, editors, etc.. I consider this to be a very unfortunate thing, as evidence of misdeeds and vote stacking also disappears. I know of examples where votestacking by sockpuppets has occurred, but now the evidence is gone from the edit histories of the sockpuppets.

But the article wasnt deleted. It was replaced with a redirect, and someone reverted it. He re added the redirect, and I assumed (incorrectly) that he was edit warring. I reverted it again. He then reverted my revert, and left a message here. Now we cant find any edits in the history but his.[[User:Drew R. Smith|<b style="font-size:bigger;color:#900">''D''</b>]]rew [[User talk:Drew R.

|||
:2) I have resorted to using the talkpage, as instructed. |
|||
:3) I have not continued any action, thus your block is still lacking in a reason. |
|||
:4) Rjd0060 and Javert have bothed engaged in removal of content, which is not allowed. The only exception to this rule is a user on his own userpage or user talk page. |
|||
::1) No, I blocked you for disruptive editing. Not "edit warring". |

::2) Yes, and you're well aware (as he removed your other comments regarding the same issue) that he is uninterested and knowing full well that your comments would be continued to be removed. |

<nowiki>*sigh*</nowiki> What part of 'leave jimbo alone' was not clear to you? An arbcom case about jimbo removing your comment, which a) involves jimbo, which was the thing you were supposed to not do after your second unblock b) repeats the behaviour that prompted the (first block) which was the provision of your first unblock, and c) as I have already explained, Jimbo, and every other editor, is free to remove whatever they want from their talk pages. So, I'll give you two choices here. 1) You remove the arbcom case which isn't going to go anywhere anyway - and I'd be happy to discuss this with you more via email (I'm Prodego@gmail.com) or 2) I remove it. Your choice. [[User:Prodego|<font color="darkgreen">''Prodego''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Prodego|<font color="darkgreen">talk</font>]]</sup> 04:43, 11 August 2009 (UTC) |

Hi, Drew, waz-up? Prodego's letting you off pretty lightly ;) Please note that it's a wiki; ''I'm'' a bit inclined to go remove yon silly request. And I could; we can edit most anything as long as we're doing the right thing. I expect it gone pretty damn quick and you'll be lucky if you only get the week-long disruptive editing block reinstated.

:: You miss my point; the right thing to do is to remove it. Someone will, and they have clerks for shit like this. What you are doing is patently obvious [[Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point|disruption of Wikipedia to illustrate a point]], which in your case is that you're miffed about the [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Drew R.

It's all rather disruptive and you're about to get all sorted out.

Revision as of 10:39, 11 August 2009
Oh dear...
I don't know where to begin... Perhaps I should start from the begining... July 5, 2009. My fiance left me (as my userpage has said for some time now) and I decided to take a wikibreak. I left, sorted out my life, got a job (at lowes for anyone who's interested), and read a few good books. I have not looked at wikipedia since that day. Now, the first time I log on in more than a month, and I find my talk page full of crap that I had nothing to do with.
Obviously some (or most) of you will see this as a cop out, but it is not. However, my account has been compromised. I am changing the password, and will attempt to figure out that cryptographic hash thing so this doesn't happen again.
I really don't know what to say. Either you will believe me or you won't. I am deeply disturbed by the events that have taken place under my name.Drew Smith What I've done 10:39, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
