User talk:Dayewalker

Welcome to my page, and go Celtics! Leave a message for me below, and I'll respond on this page unless you ask otherwise.

Just so everyone will know, on June 29, 2008, I was given the Rollback tool by admin Kralizec! for help in vandal-fighting. I will also use this tool to revert, on sight, the edits of blocked wikipedia users. If you have a question about my use of rollback, it was probably in one of these situations. Any other questions, leave them here on my talk page. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 22:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

If you are an IP and cannot post on this page, it has been semi-protected. Admins regularly semi-protect this page against IPs who come here to disrupt. Please leave a message on the talk page for the article you'd like to discuss. I'd suggest registering an account, it makes everything easier.

Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. I appreciate it! Cheers! Apparition11 (talk) 07:16, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

No problem, glad to help. Take care! Dayewalker (talk) 07:16, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!!

LOL ya, thanks for watching my talk, and rvting my deletion of nonsense, thanks again!!! CTJF83Talk 07:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

No probs. I notice he's deleted your edits and my notice on his page. Hopefully he's learned. Dayewalker (talk) 07:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

HAHA, ya, we'll see. Just out of curiosity, do you have my talk page on your watch list, or how did you come across that he readded what I deleted? CTJF83Talk 17:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't have any idea. Somehow I've wound up with a lot of talk pages on my watch list, I don't remember specifically adding yours but I'm glad to help with vandal patrol. Dayewalker (talk) 17:14, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

LOL, that works for me! Leave me on there to fight more vandalism!! :) CTJF83Talk 17:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

i have already emailed the people from wikipedia before i made the edits who told me i could make them, i am properly sourced and anything that i change you revert back is poorly sourced information that must be removed since this is her biography page. we will fight about it all night, i will not be removed or quieted, this is my sisters page and you will respect it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.234.104.242 (talk) 07:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Mamaluigibob

Hi! I don't know if this is the right place, but i'm trying to clear things up with a Wiki member, but the Wiki member isn't even listening to me, and he even marked me for false vandalism!!

He even came on to my profile and wrote What you were saying was perfectly fine for the same section, and when I tried telling you, you ignored it, as a persistant pest would. AND FOR CRYING OUT LOAD, SIGN YOUR POSTS, DAMMIT! Skeletal SLJCOAAATR Soulsor 16:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

That's the SECOND time he insulted me in two days! But he's still not listening to me when i'm trying to explain what made him angry in the first place.

He insulted me in the Sonic Unleashed discussion topic, calling me blind because he thought that I posted the same "night of the werehog" video twice. Even though I Wasn't. I was just posting the article on it saying that it wasn't going to be a full length 3D Animated movie, because in the article it looked like it was talking about something like an 80 minute film, right? Then, when I cleared things up the user edited my post and then I got angry when he did that. (You could tell I could have gotten angry when he edited my post!)

Then afterwards, he marked me for false vandalism on the Sonic Unleashed article, even when I was just fixing it up! Also, I wasn't editing the page! I was just wanting to put down a full explanation to what I did! But that user edited it and then marked me after!

What should I do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mamaluigibob (talk • contribs)

Well, first you should not respond in kind to personal attacks. I'm going to post some links on your talk page and comment there. Good luck. Dayewalker (talk) 21:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments from Sauve.sean

There are plenty of contributors who do not have a problem with the definition i added. Consensus does nto exist for the definition as it stands, as evidenced by the extensive comments on the talk page. Another thing, I did take it to the talk page. Your accusations are patently false.Sauve.sean (talk) 00:01, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

You've been reverted by multiple editors and warned for WP:3RR. I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Consensus is against you, and will always be against you unless you try and change that consensus on the talk page. Dayewalker (talk) 00:19, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Presidency/Vice-Presidency

Dayewalker, I was correcting what I saw to be extreme bigotry and an non-NPOV situation that I saw on those pages. Note that on Barack Obama's page there was an end date for his term already posted in the infobox. While my editing of George W. Bush's page might have been going a little too far, I am not about to stand idly by and let people come in and subversively alter Wikipedia to favour Bush. I hope you can understand my point of view and why I won't stand for this kind of crap. Matt.T.911 (talk) 08:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying, but it's not NPOV to not refer to Obama as President until he is sworn in. Likewise, his elected term of office is scheduled to begin and end on a certain day. If he's re-elected, his second term will likewise end on a specific day. It's not NPOV to point that out. Dayewalker (talk) 08:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Hi, My Name is Joe Tatum i'm a new editor to the site and since i used to work for the New Mexico Activities Association i thought i would be a little useful to this site, i even donated money to this wonderful site. I noticed you marked me as a sockpuppet, i have never had an account on this website before, so how does this make me a sockpuppet of this so called "Politican Texas"??..i removed the template from my page.. any questions please feel free to drop by anytime thank you.

District 2-AAAA

I spoke to Robert Zayas who currently works for the New Mexico Activities Association (NMAA) and is Director of Communications. He tells me that the NMAA does NOT keep record of District championships as claimed by Joe Tatum on one of his recent edits of the District 2-AAAA article. You are correct his edits mimick the same ones from other users. I am working with Los Alamos Monitor Sports Edior Mike Maez-Cote on the verification of District Championships in 2-AAAA. The Fall Sports championships are correct and accurate and verified through additional research of microfilm of the Los Alamos Monitor and listed in the edit. I am in the process of verifying Winter Sports championships and eventually Spring Sports as well. It's unfortunate that individuals continue under a series of user names to provide incorrect information. Thank you for your vigilance of individuals such as this. --Taostiger (talk) 05:41, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Revert of a revert

You really should not have reverted a revert at the administrators noticeboard without discussing it first. Have a look at WP:BRD. Also, the thread at the noticeboard is no where near being "closed". Tennis expert (talk) 08:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I stand by my edit. Your reversion of the other editor's compression of that section was your opinion, as you admit. It's a huge section on the ANI page, and is so large as to discourage discussion. Dayewalker (talk) 08:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Every edit we do is our "opinion". So, you believe that you are exempt from WP:BRD or the edit warring policies in general? And what is the evidence for the section "discouraging discussion"? Your "opinion"? Tennis expert (talk) 09:46, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

You reverted another editor because you disagreed with them. I did the same. The conversation seems to only have one edit on the past twelve hours, and that one seemed to close the discussion. Since it was collapsed a few hours ago, no one else has weighed in on the issue so this certainly seemed to be the end of the long, unwieldy discussion. If you want to continue the discussion, reopen it and make your comments. Otherwise, it would seem it has played out and the entire page would be better served by collapsing the topic. Dayewalker (talk) 09:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

You violated WP:BRD by reverting a reversion. The issue is as simple as that. To fix the problem you caused, you need to revert yourself and refrain from reverting reversions in the future. Tennis expert (talk) 14:37, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Simply put, no. As I said above, I stand by my edit. It's been almost another twelve hours since the discussion was collapsed (not removed, archived, or marked as resolved), and there's only been one comment since then, which was from you. I told you above what you could do if you disagreed, but I agreed with the editor who collapsed that giant wall of text. Dayewalker (talk) 17:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• Frankly, I'm more than slightly surprised it has not been closed as "yawn" by now. Date delinker (aka Ohconfucius)_{hard problems}^proverbs 11:26, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Ditto to that. Since TE reopened it, that giant monolith of text has had practically no comments, so I stand by my original reversion. Less is better. Dayewalker (talk) 23:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Copyvio Question

Why exactly is less better? Who gets to decide that? And why are some people deciding that just because of popular opinion something should be removed? And what is a copyright violation? Because, as long as something is adequately sourced, giving acknowledgment to the original author, then why can't it be posted? Even in large block quotations, it's not a full reprinting, which is usually what would be considered a violation of copyright laws. Otherwise, so long as a quote is adequately sourced and referenced, then what's the big deal? --Jamesmichaelsf (talk) 13:33, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

It's not because of popular opinion, it's because of policy. Please read WP:COPYVIO to understand wikipedia's policy on copyright violations. An encyclopedia doesn't contain large blocks of copyrighted text from other sources. Dayewalker (talk) 17:04, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

American Populists

Hei, I'm just adding the folks that on the populism articles of the english, spanish and portuguese language wikipedia (the ones I can read are indicated as such. I don't mean it as insult, I'm distinguishing it from demagogue. Obama is no socialist/communist, he's a populist (community organizing, Gamaliel Foundation, does that tell you something? That's the Fabian Society of african-american populism!). OK, maybe not Hillary Clinton, but John Edwards called himself populist! And Pat Buchanan is certanly a righ-wing populist (a little more moderate or democratic version of radical right-wing populist people like George Haider or Le Pen). Lususromulus (24 December 2008)

Appearances are not always facts. I can prove to you (if you fancy yourself intelligent) that Professor Ralph Merkle and his side kick Freitas are deliberately stealing my technology for the United States Government. Specifically, my "trolley car means" and have wrote the book "Kinematic Self-replicating Machines" to cover for it. So is Cornell University's Hod Lipson who is spouting off about the illegal aliens getting a raw deal to cover for his stealing. I can provide you scans of court records detailing a long term pattern of government attacks including Quantico MCB kidnappings and agents provocateurs spanning over twenty years. I was the first to write a Wikipedia article on Self-replicators with the proper name of "Independent operability" which was summarily deleted and replaced with "Self-Replicating machines" which is nothing but a smear on my technology. Absolutely none of the nonsense there now is about self-replicating entities. All that is there now is of those stealing my ideas and products of true "sock-puppets" of my powerful competitors. Further, William R. Buckley who is admittedly my direct competitor, once banned for legal threats against me, now back without apologizing or resolving in any way is the one driving the contentions. He even admits initiating it. It is his sock-puppets that first voted me banned and it was for reporting a hacking which was labeled a "legal threat". Further, he is writing on his own work there on "Partial Construction ". If what I am doing is "fringe theory" then why is Ralph Merkle the undisputed top U.S. scientist viciously attacking me in his book with generality?: http://www.molecularassembler.com/KSRM/3.16.htm

No one has, to this day given this subject the attention it deserves considering my enemies involved. A simple reading of the claims of my patent and comparing it to the disclosed stolen technology will bear out this theft and the full tilt smear campaign now leveled against me. They tried to commit me for just talking about my self-replicators (affidavit from Cheif of police scans had). Further, I can provide you case after case where Buckley has been trolling to the nth degree, I have many diffs. Problem is, there is case after case when my point gets made that these "open source" nuts just delete the evidence and archive up or whatever they can maliciously do. It is very well known that all those attacking me are open source and are angry that I patented them out of business. But hey: I invented all of it way back in the 90s. Self-replicators are the engines that run the universe, all the top scientists know it and regardless if one "likes" my self-replicator or not the trolley car means is what they know will usher in a new era of research on the subject. My self-replicator self-replicates all its parts, including the small ones and a working model was produced before the patent office before I received my claims on "independent operability", a term which is instantly deleted and attacked without comment at Self-replicating machines regardless of who writes it. If you take the time to research all this and are truly "neutral" as you pose, you will find all these facts to be true. You will also find that I was blocked wrongly by sock-puppeters that are my competitors, particularly Buckley. And I have tried the channels, they are all jammed with hard core "open source" nuts that know me well and hate me.

Charles Michael Collins

No. With all due respect, I have not the time nor interest in delving into your problem. Again I ask you to go through proper channels. Good luck in the future. Dayewalker (talk) 05:11, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

You should be concerned about the ethics going on around here to this. Maybe if you see what we are talking about you may get the picture how indeed this is important to you and your family etc. as well, you can see what is stolen here (see videos at bottom of page):

http://ccsl.mae.cornell.edu/research/selfrep/morepictures.htm

All matter will soon be under programmable control. This makes it the biggest event since the dawn of time. When all things are made in your home there will be no need of corporate structure anymore. I don't pose myself as a professional editor and do not seek such. I'm a scientist seeking that the truth be told here. Your help to this is requested. The truth is laid out here at my site: <redacted>

Thanks!

What's going on? I had a cup of tea (coffee actually) with my friends, and I saw a message after I came back. I saw nothing so I checked the page's history and found 2 vandals - 1 IP and 1 called VicoMaster. As I am about to warn Vicomaster, I saw he had been blocked thus I checked the user's contribs. and I saw VicoMaster vandalised Moo's, JJL's, Collectonian's talk page together with mine. The IP vandal however only vandalised my talkpage and Collectonian's. Well, thanks for reverting the evil edit. Do you want a barnstar? I can award you one. --Mark Chung (talk) 09:44, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

ANI comment

I'm sorry but my give a shit meter is completely broken. I never said the comment was civil, I said it wasn't a personal attack. Do you need me to define the word personal for you? If you feel my actions are all that disruptive start a thread at the appropriate venue. My comment attacked no specific admin, at least I wasn't aware of an admin named "good portion of." Whining on my talk page isn't really going to solve anything. I already received a warning for my "personal attacks" so the next step is not another warning. Never mind the fact I had made no further similar edits since the first "personal attack" warning. Personal refers to a person so you know in the future, and a "good portion of admins" is not a person. Landon1980 (talk) 21:34, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

The first step in trying to resolve a problem is to discuss it with the editor. I can see you're in no mood to listen or be civil, so I'll give up on that one. Good luck with your shit meter. Dayewalker (talk) 21:43, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I had made no further comments like that so what exactly were you "resolving?" Landon1980 (talk) 21:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Your comments at ANI which were extremely uncivil, followed by your assertion in your edit summary that they weren't personal attacks. Splitting hairs as to whether or not the attacks were personal or not doesn't also solve the problem of the content. Dayewalker (talk) 21:51, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Mind linking me to "good portion of's" page? Here, hopefully this will make it more clear: "personal - relating to, directed to, or intended for a particular person." This isn't rocket science, the comment was an attack on a portion of admins, not any specific person. Please read over WP:NPA that may help as well. I admit the comment was uncivil, disruptive, and so on and I never said it wasn't. Sometimes the truth hurts. Landon1980 (talk) 22:08, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

(OD)And that's why WP:DICK applies here. I stand by my comments, so there's nothing more to say here in terms of deciding which branch of bad behavior this falls into. Good luck. Dayewalker (talk) 22:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi again, I owe you an apology. I was having a bad day but that's no excuse for how I treated you, for no reason at all might I add. Anyways, I hope their is no hard feelings but I understand if there is. Cheers, Landon1980 (talk) 07:56, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Good luck with your USEDFan stalker, I know full well what it's like to have a banned user that just won't quit coming back over and over again. Anything I can help with, just let me know. Take care! Dayewalker (talk) 08:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. Yes, banned users get very annoying after they come back over two dozen times. I don't know what was wrong with me the other day. I'm ashamed of how I treated you and the other editor. I have a bad habit of when I'm angry at something/someone taking it out on everyone/everything, and I'm going to have to work on that. Thanks for offering to help, but I don't even know what else to do. All the articles he frequents (which is only two) have been semi-protected a few times, but then he makes several accounts and waits for them to be auto-confirmed. His IP has been blocked with account creation disabled I don't know how many times, he gets around that by using proxies. Then he edits from a college which blocking the IP would result in far too much collateral damage. He is very determined and will never go away, at least it would appear that way.

Apparently, at some, long time ago, there was the user User:DavidYork71. This user was a heavy POV pusher, he didn't abide by policies, and was soon blocked. He later came back in over 200 socks, and is rumored to have over 300 more. I've run into a few of his new socks(and got them blocked) at an article which is currently under my watch list.

I just have to wonder at these people, don't you? Also, it seems we've seen the last of (x).— Dædαlus ^Contribs 10:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Murad Gumen article

I made comments on the talk page of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murad_Gumen and later felt they were not productive. My attempts to edit my own comments were continually vandalized by user Severino who insists on putting them back again. That entire talk page is an attack on Murad Gumen and should be removed.

Michael J Scanlon

I saw your post on Michael Scanlon- He is a member of our rugby union. His "Circle" happens to be USA Rugby which is one of the largest Rugby Unions in the world, and part of the worldwide rugby union. It Happens to be larger than the NCAA and one of the largest sporting governing bodies outside of the IOC. He has been influential in helping expand USA Rugby, something it desperately needed. His influence is no less than that of a politician, simply for the world of rugby, and not law. We don't expect many people outside of our "circle" to know him, but those involved in USA Rugby, the several million of us, recognize his contributions and hes a good kid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.117.6 (talk • contribs)

I understand. However, as per wikipedia's notability standards, your words about him and his influence aren't enough to make him notable. I understand this is your first wikipedia article, but please read up on notability and how wikipedia proves it through reliable secondary sources. Merely saying he's a "good kid" isn't enough, but if you can show his notability through outside sources, it would go a great deal towards getting him recognized. Good luck!

Hed PE

Protected for 1 week and IP blocked. I had a peek at the lengthy discussion at WP:ANI, and I'm not too sure how to handle this situation chronically. -- Samir 19:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you about staying off his talk page, there is no point in discussing anything with him. No matter what you say he denies it. He must not understand that we all have access to his edit history. For example, he denies saying NME was biased and unreliable, yet he said this countless times. I don't understand how, or why he is still denying the sock puppetry. I think this is a serious case of playing stupid, he doesn't believe half the things he says. I think he is trolling but I may be wrong. I have actually wondered if his account was compromised, but after looking back through his contribs it isn't. I stayed off his talk page for days, then commented yesterday and today. Then I realized why I avoided it to begin with, it's a waste of time. I don't know if Ibaranoff honestly just doesn't get it, or if he is merely pressing the issue to see everyone's responses. Landon1980 (talk) 00:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Rafael Garcia

Hi Dayewalker; you had offered assistance,[1] and I'm looking for some third party input / suggestions on what to do about user:RafaelRGarcia. Interacting with him and reviewing his comments / behavior at Talk:William Rehnquist, Talk: Clarence Thomas, and various other articles (and, of course, in regard to the 3rr problem and the medcab dispute), he seems to have an extraordinarily bad and unconstructive attitude, not only vis-a-vis myself, but with any other users who evince disagreement with his POV or preferred article narrative. Belligerent self-righteousness married with blatant POV and sloppy, imprecise writing and thinking is not a happy mix. Still, I'm not really sure what, if anything, is the right thing to do next (and I must acknowledge that the problem might be that I'm the asshole not him, although I think his attitude towards other users does seem to undercut that). Neither Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Request comment on users / Wikipedia:Problem_users or Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts seem right. Any ideas? Simon Dodd (talk) 22:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll take a look when I get a chance, I appreciate you coming to me with this. It really shows that you have the best interests of wikipedia at heart. I remember RRG having some difficulties with other editors before, when I get time I'll try and help out. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 20:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Sure - and thanks. :) I should mention, in the spirit of full disclosure, that I've also raised the question informally with user:Samir, who was the admin who reviewed the 3rr issue you flagged for attention at AN. Simon Dodd (talk) 22:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Barack Obama Page

Hi Dayewalker. I edited the Barack Obama page to say that he may have been born in the US. This is a huge, and ongoing controversy. I believe you reverted my edit, stating that there is no consensus on the discussion page for Barack Obama. That is true, which is why I changed the statement to "may have been born" instead of "was born," for which there is no consensus.

I'm pretty new to the complicated discussion stuff. Mostly, my edits have just been technicalities or grammar corrections, and such. I'm going to try to start talking on the talk page. If the Barack page is one you monitor, please let me know if I'm doing everything correctly. Thanks, -Erik Stone.

Erik Stone (talk) 08:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate you dropping me a line. The controversy has been discussed on the talk page, and consensus has been reached there. If you feel your changes are more accurate, I encourage you to take it to the talk page. Obviously, this is a heavily trafficked page watched by probably hundreds of editors, so it's very important to have consensus for major edits before posting them. Good luck! Dayewalker (talk) 09:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Dayewalker, I appreciate that you like to protect the Obama page from anything that might make him look bad in your mind, but facts are facts and they are more important than a so-called "consensus". There was formerly a scientific consensus that the sun revolved around the earth... but consensus can't change facts.

It's important to remain neutral, and as Obama has failed to produce a document indicating his birth hospital and the signature of an American physician at said American hospital, we must report his failure in a neutral way. Erik Stone is 100% correct. There is MUCH controversy, and has been since the beginning of the election process. All Barack would have to do to kill the controversy would be to release the proper documentation which he has failed to do. When McCain was challenged with his place of birth, he immediately released all of the proper documentation. Millions of Americans are still waiting for Barack to step up. --Climb It Change (talk) 18:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Not millions of Americans, the few in the tin hat crowd you like to make trouble. Grsz¹¹ 18:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I certainly appreciate your paranoia, Climb It Change. However, just because you want to see his birth certificate doesn't mean anything. If you can provide a reliable source that this is a legitimate controversy, bring it up on the talk page. Your version of the "truth" isn't relevant, and your interpretation of the facts isn't correct. Feel free to bring this up on the correct talk page, with proper sourcing. Dayewalker (talk) 18:45, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd be happy to bring a reliable source, if you can give me a source that you would accept.Erik Stone (talk) 03:50, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

WP:RS is a good example of how to find a reliable source for wikipedia. Good luck! Dayewalker (talk) 03:53, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank You, It's Appreciated

Mate, thanks for the assistance in the Dave Simons mess - it is greatly appreciated. Hopefully there's plenty of others on this Wiki with the same attitude and understanding as you have displayed. Your assistance was greatly appreciated - you offered real help, instead of pointing me towards your own page (heh) and the fact that the Simons entry is now up there is testament to your efforts. Again, thank you.Daniel best (talk) 22:41, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Got it

I read the policies you suggested and several others. I understand the consensus that you were talking about now. I can't say I'm happy with the policies and the new image I have in regards to Wikipedia, but at least I understand it. I read about the inaccuracies of Jimmy Wales' birth date and his struggle to make it accurate on Wikipedia. After reading about it, the Barack Obama birth issue doesn't bother me so much anymore. Thanks for the suggestions and the guidance. Erik Stone (talk) 02:45, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Good luck! Dayewalker (talk) 02:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Response

Hi, I have not used it before. A user was acussing me that I was a sock puppet. Their reason was because we each had one of the same pages in our edit history. I looked at the history of the Used page and anytime a user made an edit, it was reverted by Landon1980 and they claimed that a sock puppet of another user made the edit. I tried to talk to Landon1980 to see what their problem was but they have been very unprofessional and ignored me. They also claimed my edit was an unreliable source when it was really from the band's official website. I know I'm new but I think Landon1980 is doing nothing except bad faith editing and not assuming the good faith of others. Just recently they had to apologize to a user because they claim that that user too, was sock puppet. Looking at how much Landon1980 edited the Used page, I guess they are a huge fan and I understand they want the page perfect. I just don't understand why they wouldn't allow any updates to the page and have such a negative, rude attitude to any other contributer. Gladiator Knight 16 (talk) 00:46, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Raul has taken care of this. Thanks for the help. Looks like USEDfan also had a few sleepers up and ready to go. He does this when The Used is semi- protected. Landon1980 (talk) 02:05, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Response to my talk page

Fair enough, although in my defense I was mirroring my response to ThuranX's. If you take the time to read his statements, you can see that he uses similar phrasing from the very beginning of the "discussion". I even went so far as to ask him to adjust his tone, reminding him he really has no authority over the site, page or myself.

From the onset of the entire event, ThuranX's has maintained a confrontational tone and attitude that I see is common on a lot of his edits. If you look at his talk page he has many reminders to be nice, to be fair, to stop using vulgar language etc..

This is my first time taking care to maintain a section on a page, so in this particular instance I am taking cues from his behavior and I don't like the community or the conduct I feel I am forced to take to 'discuss' changes. I put discuss into quotations as it has been less a discussion as much as it's been an authoritarian hand making edits, and any opposition is met with vulgar language and multi-tiered (nonsensical) arguments about why he is right and I am wrong. From what I understand, this isn't how wikipedia should be.... --Apoklyptk (talk) 20:33, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I understand you've had an ongoing discussion with ThuranX about this, and if the tone of that discussion has turned negative, that's certainly regrettable. However, you are now edit warring against consensus. You're explaining to me why you've taken offense with another editor, but the fact of the matter is that consensus is clearly against you. Please revert and discuss. Dayewalker (talk) 20:37, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

The problem is that the consensus did not exist until ThuranX pitched a fit about it. How else was the section intact all the way up until last month with many of the same people editing it, and NEW people providing a "consensus" against it? It defies logic and speaks to either unethical practices on ThuranX's behalf - OR - simple coincidence. Either way, before mutilation the section was more than two sentences, and it is a shame to see an entire section just deleted.--Apoklyptk (talk) 20:46, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
