Images

Re:Images

It's not my job to format your userpage. It's yours to follow policy, and in this case, mine to enforce it. I harbor you no ill will, I'm simply applying policy by removing the images. Whether you wish to maintain them as a list or another method is completely unknown to me, and in any case, how could I know what format you wanted them in? Unreasonable demands cannot be met.

Big O episodes

I created Template:The Big O episodes. It adds any article where it's transcluded into Category:The Big O episodes.--Nohansen 23:37, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A category for the episodes would be better. Then, that category can be placed in Category:Television episodes by series.--Nohansen 23:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Screenshots of The Big O

I saw that. There's a procedure for moving all articles in one category. It must be requested and then a bot takes care of the rest. But I don't know how to make the request.--Nohansen 23:58, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

November 2007

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Template:User en-3 worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. Thank you.--Tasc0 01:18, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Improper speedy tagging

Hi, I just noticed that you tagged Template:Babellist and Template:BabelUser for speedy deletion improperly. They were both tagged with {{deprecated}} less than a day ago, a process which has a 14-day waiting period. I'd notified the template's original author and he was supposed to have that period of time available to him in order to respond. Please don't add speedy templates to templates marked deprecated in the future, if they really do warrant deletion they'll go away in the fullness of time and they cause no harm in the interim.

Err

Your signature doesn't correctly link to "Special:Contributions", unless you want people to enter your username manually. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 22:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

The Big X (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I don't know who User:PatPeter is and would like to discuss here how I have been mistaken for him. -The Big X 02:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Declined per checkuser result. Mango juice^talk 16:29, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Left note with blocking admin. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:55, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will ask a checkuser for IP verification. Mr.Z-man 03:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note they have a very similar editing style. Cheers,Je t Lover (Report a mistake) 03:17, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've been watching this user for some time. (I didn't want to block someone just due to "similar" editing habits.) However, there have been some edits which have clinched it for me.

Incidentally, the user need not be unblocked to discuss on this talk page. I'd rather wait, than to risk continued SOCKs. (See also User:Sox207.) - jc37 06:37, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I asked Deskana (who did the last check on PatPeter) on IRC. The check came back "likely" that they are the same person (same ISP, same area). Mr.Z-man 17:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"However, there have been some edits which have clinched it for me." I would like to know what these are, because after going over some of my edits I have come across a couple similarities. First of all when I started editing userboxes it was off-topic for me, I just came to edit The Big O articles and upload images etc. etc. I put user en-3 on my userpage because I thought that was what level I was on, but after reading more at babel I see that I am probably just user en (the whole chain confuses be how en is inbetween en-4 and en-5) but then I got in a discussion with Tasco about color schemes and how the userboxes seem to follow the visible spectrum blue indigo green yellow red, except three is blue instead of green, which doesn't make much sense, and also the userbox was created in '05 by an inactive user. After this i began to look at other level three templates, some of which I found to be green, and some of which looked absolutely horrible. A lot of the templates didn't have Template:Languages so I started adding that, then I came across Category:User templates en and i noticed two types of categorization. You Jc37 put "Userpage userboxes" in usersubpage categories to sort them with the rest of their kind and keep them away from templates. PatPeter on the other hand does "Userpage user templates" both of which are pretty long, so I just cut off both second and third words for just "userpage," I did this following your lead jc37. After that I started standardizing other templates, like the en-sco I got a barnstar for. I noticed that all the en-sco were at the top of the User templates en list and obviously didn't think the belonged there, they belong with the rest of the templates, so I took the space out.

So yeah it's funny how our minds work, how I jumped from one topic to another. Sorry for any bad grammar and spelling, as I said I don't know where I would be on the Babel list, but I came here to edit The Big O and any other anime I come across that I can help, just want to help the project. -The Big X 20:24, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll tell you honestly that I don't quite understand what you're saying here, but it doesn't seem to be true?:

"You Jc37 put "Userpage userboxes" in usersubpage categories to sort them with the rest of their kind and keep them away from templates. PatPeter on the other hand does "Userpage user templates" both of which are pretty long, so I just cut off both second and third words for just "userpage," I did this following your lead jc37."

Second, your surprising intimate knowledge of template syntax was only one reason I started looking into your contributions. It's not just your edits, or even just where your edits were, but what your edits were.

And all I have to do is read over User_talk:Sox207#unblock_req._reviewed, to see that we're at least dealing with meat puppetry here, if not direct sock puppetry. (Though I still think it's SOCK puppetry from the edits involved, more than one user "could" be using this account, which would also be problematic.)

While I'm tempted to ask to have a discussion with PatPeter to discuss a tentative return to Wikipedia (lifting the block), what we've seen so far doesn't inspire confidence, and the events leading up to the final block really suggest that this is user drama that we just don't need. - jc37 22:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is the difference between meat puppetry and sock puppetry? I wasn't lying when I said Sox207 was my friends account, but I was using it. This account was another attempt to help the project.

Yes I made a sock puppet and used another user's account but only because I was getting close to no friction on User talk:PatPeter, lets talk more there. -The Big X 04:22, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Presuming you meant "traction" instead of "friction".

Just a question: Can you explain saying:

"I don't know who User:PatPeter is and would like to discuss here how I have been mistaken for him."

in light of what you just said above. - jc37 08:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I meant traction, thank you, having trouble finding my words lately

I just sort of gave up hope as editing as PatPeter again and was afraid that I wouldn't be allowed to edit (demon^ made that phony post, or as fastlizard said, that another unblock request would get the page protected, where there would be no chance of coming back), so I made The Big X, I didn't think there was a possibility for my unblock, I made multiple multi-posts, no one replied. I am sorry I lied, all I want is to help the project. My last reason for block (as PatPeter, not sockpuppets) was for "soapboxing," in which I was trying to create a politically correct userbox saying "This user does not support the LGBT community." I made some mistakes on some userboxes, like when Template:User queersupport, or what ever the title was (I changed it on Sox or Big X), I just put a "no" on that and moved it to my usersubspace, now obviously if I knew it was an incorrect term to use I wouldn't have used it, but it was used on the main template for people to state this opinion. Other users say that the userbox would offend a group of people, well let's look at pro-choice and pro-life, a pro-life person still finds pro-choice offensive and vice versa. People who are pro-gay, I would bet to say that some of them would find me offensive, hell in a flame email by User:Dev920 she said "Oh, and your homophobia is disgusting." I don't vandalize the homosexuality page or post the userbox on talk:main page, telling everyone my opinions, which is what real soapboxing is. All I am trying to do is everything other users do, make a userbox. -The Big X 03:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, no traction. -The Big X 17:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
