Your font I, and I'm sure others, find your font to be extremely distracting and difficult to read. Please read the talk page guidelines for info on what is generally accepted for fonts. The only reason I can see for making your font so small and non-standard is to cause people difficulty in reading it. Leebo ^T/C 18:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Am I on some kind of target list? I do not appreciate these repeated messages. Pls leave me alone.Lilkunta 19:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

I have to agree with Leebo. Your font choice is very difficult to read. If you want to be able to readily see your edits vs. others, a good way is to follow proper indentation, also do a CTRL+F to find your username at the end of any posts you sign. Cascadia ^{TALK| HISTORY} 19:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

People are allowed to express their concerns to you, especially when you are using a disruptive font on pages that are not your own. Leebo ^T/C 19:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Disruptive fonts? I have conversated with admins an rec'd no complaints, but am getting complaints from u non-admin, whatever. On what page did u view my 'disruptive fonts' ? Lilkunta 19:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

Um, this one. I have to move my face 2 inches away from my monitor to view your font. Please stop using the following tag

<FONT FACE="Chiller" SIZE="2" COLOR="green"> Your font size is HTML class 2, which is only 1 above the smallest HTML Font class. Chiller is also not a font that is on all computers. Please use the standard font and color. Cascadia ^{TALK| HISTORY} 19:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Lilkunta, I ran into your message on Tellyaddict's page and I have to second Leebo's comment, it's almost illegible. As a courtesy to other editors, you should make your font somewhat more legible. This is not a personal slight on your editing capabilities, or anything like that, but merely a request to keep this place clear, transparent and easy to use. Thanks, – Riana ^ऋ 19:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I also read your comments to Tellyaddict, but you have used this font on many user talk and article talk pages. Riana's right; I'm not trying to attack you, I just can't read what you post. If you reply, please restrict your reply to this page (so I don't have to format your font on my page). Leebo ^T/C 19:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

What is illegible? This isnt handwriting, it is crisp clear typed letters. I see it all fine. Maybe its ur webbrowser. Is ur trouble that the post is too light? Is this better? Is it too small? Should I try size 3,4,5? Where is the wiki page for fonts and font colours?Lilkunta 20:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

As you've noticed, any time you've posted here using the font tag I referenced above, someone has removed it to make it legible. What we are saying is, like everyone, use the defaults. Cascadia ^{TALK| HISTORY} 20:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Cascadia pls MYOB. Leebo & I r working on it.Thx. Lilkunta 20:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

I welcome others to comment on my page, and Cascadia is civil and doesn't use a disruptive font. If you don't want to change it, that's fine, but don't use it on my talk page again. I shouldn't have to format my own talk page to make your comments readable. Leebo ^T/C 20:38, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Lilkunta, I told you not to reply on my page with that font. You shouldn't not be changing your font at all. That should be clear enough. To answer your question, yes size 2 is extremely tiny, and Chiller isn't a font that is supported by all browsers. People without that font will not be able to read anything you write. Again - you shouldn't be altering your font at all, it's distracting. And definitely don't use that font on my talk page. Leebo ^T/C 20:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Leebo, I read ur 20:23 post. Pls dont be rude. Who says I'm not to change my font? It isnt clear. If I tell u to change ur signature 2 a plain 1, will u? I see others who post in diff sizes and scripts. I guess I'm lucky that my browser reads everything.

So its chiller that throws u off? What do my posts look like 2 u? Too light? Too dark ? Too small? I dont get what u meant when u said u had to move back in order to read my posts. I didnt know that all browsers dont ( ur particular browser doesnt) read/register/recognise Chiller.

Also, what about my other question? Should I try size 3,4,5? Where is the wiki page for fonts and font colours? Lilkunta 21:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Here is a screenshot of what your font looks like. 21:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Lilkunta, I'm not trying to be rude. What I'm saying is there shouldn't be a need to change your font, and you kept using it on my page (and then I had to remove your markup) after I asked you not to, so I may have sounded curt. As for your question about what it looks like, this is what it looks like in my browser. See the difference, just in size, between your font and the default font, not to mention the letters of Chiller. Leebo ^T/C 22:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. That is weird. U dont wonder y ur browser doesnt read Chiller? In future I wont use Chiller on ur page. But green is okay to use right? Glad we;ve come to an understanding. Lilkunta 00:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

This is just a test Leebo. Do u c this better?--> This is the test sentence.How does that look? If its not 2 much trouble, could u do a screen pic 4 me? Thx. Lilkunta 01:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Here you go. If you want my honest opinion, even though that's bigger and definitely readable now, I'd prefer that all users had the same default font. I know it's not a policy, but if we allow people to use markup like that the talk pages will be more focused on aesthetics than discussion. You can imagine 3 or 4 people with different colors and fonts on the same page, it would get blinding. Leebo ^T/C 01:11, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

If I might make a suggestion that will make life easier for everyone, including yourself Lilkunta, just type, indent, bold, etc, when needed. Otherwise, just type your comment. No need for extra formatting. Cascadia ^{TALK| HISTORY} 01:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow that was fast! U roc! Thx very much Leebo!Lilkunta 01:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

Vandalism accusations originating from this IP

Hey, since you're the Wikicop on duty, do me a favor and send me Apache http logs of when this vandalism happened so that I can fire the user responsible. This is a gateway for an IT services company in Florida, and I manage their network. You can email me directly at abuse@palion.net. I'm not going to log in with my Wikipedia account for fear of sanctions against it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.92.75.126 (talk) 02:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

Thank you for taking an interest in this, but please note that this was not a severe act of vandalism and my note was informative, because the user may not have been familiar with the policies surrounding the template they removed. It wasn't vandalism in the sense that it was with the intent of hurting the encyclopedia -- but repeated removal would have been perceived as disruption. Please do not take action against the individual responsible unless there is further vandalism. Leebo ^T/C 03:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Revert summary

Besides administrators, I have also seen users that are not administrators, and even few IP addresses who have reverted edits with the summary "Reverted edits by Username to the last version by Username" I wonder how they can do that. Amos Han ^Talk 14:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

AFD:JES

Yes, I think that WP:DRV is a good idea, I was about to do one, when it said, "where someone is unable to resolve the issue in discussion with the administrator (or other editor) in question", so I thought I'd bring it up with him first. If you think that a DRV is more appropriate than his talk page, I'm totally willing to do that. McKay 21:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The talk page entry is a request for help. I've been involved in a bunch of AfDs along similar lines. I think I'm right, but because it's happened so many times, maybe I'm missing (or misunderstanding) a crucial piece of policy. I'm telling people who look at my talk page what has happened, and I'm asking for help so that I can be a better wikipedian. I'm asking for help to clarify my potential misunderstandings of WP policy. I don't believe such content belongs on a DRV, does it belong somewhere else? McKay 21:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm "watching you" because I'm involved in the dispute related to your fonts. Your new font is better, readable, and properly closed; but I still prefer that users not change their fonts. Leebo ^T/C 22:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

regarding edit war at Fellowship of Friends

Leebo, my perception of edit war at Fellowship of Friends is as follows: This is a page about a controversial organization surrounding by a charismatic individual who claims to offer members of his extremely money-hungry organization the chance to become immortal. Mr. Fantoni is a member of the organization and a professional marketing executive whose goal, so far as I can ascertain from his actions, is to minimize publicity about controversies concerning the organization. He is not concerned so much with writing material as with deleting the writing I have done. I have added sections on history, recruitment and influence techniques, the organizational policy on suicide and the suicides of then-current and former members. I have been diligent about citing to reliable sources. Mr. Fantoni attacks my sources, but he does not indicate having read these sources or any interest in reading them. I suspect that scholarship is less his concern than advocacy. I bear him no ill will and would urge him to become familiar with the materials to which I refer. Veronicapoe 17:20, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Fellowship of Friends page

Hi Leebo, thank you for helping with the FoF page. I apologize for my last edit - I thought that your warning was only about "undo" (revert). Regarding the edit war that is going on, please read the Talk page to see how several editors (including Wine-in-ark and Babycondor, both former members of the Fellowship of Friends) disagree with Veronicapoe's edits. Thanks again. Mario Fantoni 04:10, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Robert Ira Lewy

Hi - You were involved in a discussion with kingseason about the Robert Ira Lewy page. Kingseason is NOT his research assistant, it is Lewy himself. You can easily google Lewy and find out that he has been displined, fined, and reprimanded in several states by their medical boards. In Oklahoma, he agreed to give up his license,pleading guilty to a misdeanor, after he had moved there because of his problems in Texas and had falsified his application to practice medicine. He lost admitting privileges to all hospitals and his last job, which is not mentioned in the information he submitted himself, was at a the Bryzynski Cancer Clinic, a highly-controversial alternative-medicine clinic in Texas, where he practiced and saw very ill patients, but was not able to admit anyone to a hospital. His submitted papers, etc., leave out all reference to Bryzynski, as does his entry. It is sad to see a once legitimate doctor fall to such lows, but he should not glorified with such a biography in Wikipedia, which falsifies by omission. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marciamaria (talk • contribs) 11:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

I was able to confirm some (but not all) of the Oklahoma information, and added that information (with a reference) to the article. I think he is notable. --Eastmain 00:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

AfD nominations for world class athletes

I may have been wrong re Ben Maruquin‎ and Tsai Chia-Hsin‎ (they both participated in the Olympics). As for Róża Kasprzak‎, I do not believe the article passes either of the WP:BIO criteria for athletes. 99DBSIMLR 18:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Considered adminship?

Do you have any interest in becoming a Wikipedia administrator? I ask because from what I've seen I think you have good potential. It's probably a little premature at this point but it's something you might want to think about. —dgies^t_c 03:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, dgies. I have considered adminship, but I plan on waiting a while. I've been approached by a couple editors, Merope originally, who have said they would consider nominating me. I'm not sure how long I'll wait, but I've only been a regular editor for a little over 3 months and about 4000 edits, so waiting can only help me gain more experience with policy.

FoF page - need help with sockpuppetry

Hi Leebo, sorry to bother you again, but I need you help. Today REDVERS, one of the Administrators that is working with the Fellowship of Friends page, left me the following message:

Hi, Mario. On the talk page of Fellowship of Friends, I offered Wikipedia's best way for how to resolve these disputes (basically WP:RS); sadly, this was basically ignored and very obvious sockpuppetry was resorted to instead, by people who held the high ground in the dispute. This led to the page being unprotected at your request and the edit war kicking off again, as it would when underhand methods are being used.

I wrote to REDVERS but he didn't reply to me. Do you know how can I find out who the sock pupeteers are based on this and this? Thanks a lot! Mario Fantoni 05:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Hi thanks for the information about there being a difference between the two, i will change future edit summaries to "attributed." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kevin Green342243 (talk • contribs) 18:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC).

Robert Ira Lewy

Hello Leebo -

I have added some more information with more specifics about Dr. Lewy. I do not know how to add specific references, but they are about actions by the NY State Board of Medical Conduct and the State Board of Medicine of Pennsylvania (fines, reprimands, censure). You can use Google to see quickly this information.....

I also added a comment about his employment at the Burzynski Clinic. If you Google Burzynski and Lewy, you will find the information that shows he worked there and you should be able easily to find info about that clinic. Sorry I don't have the computer skills to add the specific web site references. Without going into the long and sordid history, Burzynski has a long and dishonorable history of "alternative" cancer therapies.

As the Oklahoma censure specifically spoke of his pleading guilty to a misdemeanor, I would be curious to know as to why you think it is appropriate not to include this information.

Would it help to lead you to specific information about his divorces? I do not know how to do that myself in terms of including the citations. As this is publically-available information and as Dr. Lewy's biography was such that he was considered a "notable" person, I do not think that this is irrelevant. Would it also be helpful to add the name of his first wife?

Thank you.

Marciamaria —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marciamaria (talk • contribs) 19:44, April 10, 2007 (UTC)

Hi - I agree with not necessarily adding the info about his second wife; I just suggested it because of the incomplete info about his children. Someone else has deleted all of those references to his wives, in any case. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marciamaria (talk • contribs) 21:14, April 10, 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Robert Ira Lewy

Dear Leebo Dr Lewy has asked me to find out what method is needed to delete the article. Thanks 72.177.152.7 20:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Kingseason

This is Kingseason? You're not logged in. Anyway, if you log in as Kingseason and go to the article's deletion discussion and say that you request its deletion, I'm sure the closing administrator would look at that. At this point, other editors are involved and believe that Dr. Lewy's negative information makes him notable enough to have an article, so your request may be denied. Leebo ^T/C 20:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Dear Leebo

On behalf of Dr Lewy I am requesting deletion of his article. Thank you very much. Kingseason —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kingseason (talk • contribs) 17:58, April 12, 2007 (UTC)

Your warnings to Uncle G

originally started at User talk:DXRAW

Uncle G is an administrator, he knows the policies, so the warning templates you used that are intended for new users were inappropriate. On another note, he didn't assume bad faith or make a personal attack. I can't figure out why you removed his notes from the AfDs. Leebo ^T/C 23:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Just because somebody administrator or not knows the policy's does not mean that they follow the policy's. Those templates are for all users not just new ones. He didn't assume good faith and make personal attacks that is why i removed his notes from the AFDs. Also by pointing out he is an administrator are you saying he is above the policies? Cause that is sure what it looks like. DXRAW 23:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm not saying he's above the policies. At the same time, he wasn't in violation of any policies. I pointed out that he is an administrator because he knows the policies, there's no reason to use standard templates on any regular users, nevermind an administrator. Leebo ^T/C 00:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

This is an essay. It is not a policy or guideline DXRAW 00:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

What's your point? It's my opinion too. No one said you couldn't do it, but I was explaining why I feel it's inappropriate. Leebo ^T/C 00:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

My point is that there is no policy against what i did. So it was not inappropriate. DXRAW 00:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Anyway why is a Lynch Mob coming after me? Cant he speak for himself? DXRAW 00:28, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

You reverted all of the notes. I noticed because I was watching an AfD that I started where Wikipedia, Historian, and Friend? commented. Then you warned Uncle G. I disagreed with you, so I took it up with you. Leebo ^T/C 00:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry at the Fellowship of Friends page

Hi Leebo, I need your help. REDVERS, an Administrator also working on the Fellowship of Friends page, sent me the following message yesterday:

Hi Mario, on the talk page of Fellowship of Friends, I offered Wikipedia's best way for how to resolve these disputes (basically WP:RS); sadly, this was basically ignored and very obvious sockpuppetry was resorted to instead, by people who held the high ground in the dispute. This led to the page being unprotected at your request and the edit war kicking off again, as it would when underhand methods are being used.

I asked for a checkuser for the 4 editors linked on the diffs (Veronicapoe, Nixwisser, Unicorn144 and Babycondor) but now I realize that Redvers was indicating that Babycondor is a sock puppet of Nixwisser. I am correct? If I am, what is the next step? Thank you. Mario Fantoni 12:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Interesting. I've actually interacted with Unicorn144 before. I'll read the history of the article a bit more before making any conclusions, because these things are usually a bit easier to see when one is actively involved in editing the article. It's not going to jump out at me until I get a good handle on the dispute. Leebo ^T/C 12:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Unwanted Comments

Your unwanted comments have been removed from my talkpage. Cease and desist your Wikistalking DXRAW 11:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, that makes my post on this page to highlight the removal of Leebo's perfectly reasonable comments a bit redundant ;-) (DXRAW also edited out a bit of my post which he didn't agree with). --Nick Dowling 11:52, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikistalking is following someone with the intent of harassment. My intent was to clarify your misunderstanding of the definition of vandalism. You're free to remove comments as you see fit on your own talk page though. Leebo ^T/C 12:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I did not have any misunderstanding of the definition of vandalism. You have been following me with the intent of harassment thou. DXRAW 13:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

What Nick did was not vandalism, so yes, you did misunderstand the definition. And it appears you misunderstand the definition of Wikistalking too. Posting a single well-intentioned message on your talk page after our original discussion could hardly be construed as "following you with the intent of harassment." Leebo ^T/C 13:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism

I use to do that before for quite a while. But anonymous IPs, especially those that vandalise the featured articles, almost always offend again. I think there's a difference between biting newcomers and simply warning those with no intent whatsoever to contribute in a useful manner. Judging from my experience at least, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that over 80-90% of IPs who receive a level 1 or 2 warning (after vandalising the FA's) vandalise again. Spellcast 21:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I can't help but say that minutes after I posted the above message, I sent a level 1 warning to an IP vandalising the Scooby-Doo featured article, and a minute later, offended again. Spellcast 21:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

'Wikipedia is not for plot summaries'

Hi. I note your comments on User talk:Parkermusic: (quote) "you seem to have created a number of articles about various operas, the articles should not be plot summaries. It's acceptable to discuss the plot briefly, but more important is encyclopedic information like the operas' cultural impact. Most of the text of the opera articles are summaries of the plots.'" (unquote) (I see Parkermusic subesequently deleted the synopses.)

Your ideas are relevant to the work we are doing at Opera Project where we are currently working on many opera synopses. I wonder if you would like to leave a note explaining your views at the talk page. Regards - Kleinzach 02:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I am pleased you are not campaigning against opera synopses as such because there are several hundred of them, not to mention ones for films, plays. etc. If you check other opera synopsesyou will find many of them are long. Also article are developed section by section so we can't expect to start off with a balanced treatment. ParkerMusic should really be helped and encouraged not the reverse. - Kleinzach 03:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Robert Ira Lewy

Thanks for your note. What was intended to be a rendition of Dr Lewy's contribution to treatment of heart disease and his philanthropy (as titled) has turned into a judgment on his whole life, a rap sheet of everything unrelated to these topics that ever happened with a lot of blood-curdling sidebar comments too. He has nothing against a mention of some of these, but not what is turning out. 1. Can you mediate? 2. How can I have it deleted for him via an administrator? Also, 3. if I go back and edit in a more balanced way, can I be locked out of making further changes on my own article? Thanks.Kingseason

Robert Ira Lewy

Thank you. Kingseason. Are you saying that once the administrator decides, it is locked against further changes by me or anyone??

Thanks

Hello.

I have reviewed your editorial review request. Do you have intentions to run for adminship in the future? If so, I am willing to nominate you as you seen to be a friendly, helpful user and is able to control your temper under stress from other users (which is the essential requirements for adminship). AQu01rius (User &#149; Talk) 01:54, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to review my contributions; it is much appreciated. I do plan to run for adminship at some point, and I thank you for the vote of confidence, but I'm going to wait a bit longer. 3 and a half months feels like a long time to me, but every day I learn new things about Wikipedia and its processes, so I'm content to continue editing at this time. I decided to start an editor review because I think it's always a good idea to stop for a moment and consider one's progress. Thanks again. Leebo ^T/C 02:11, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
