"I thank God that I am not a well meaning Wikipedian"

A random favorite image/video...

Oh noz! The big bad homosexuals will get you! From 1961; 00:10:12 long.
Your messages and my replies

Want to see how a Wikipedia lynching works? Read this.


ANI

Hi. It's totally your call, but could you please avoid starting multiple new ANI threads over every "uncivil" comment? There are plenty of admins watching CoM et al., and we want to avoid as much drama as possible. Just something to consider. Cheers. –Juliancolton | Talk 18:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And therein lies the problem.. too many watching, none doing anything - except William, and he gets met with being called a drunk. Anyway, I've moved on. Thanks for the note. - ALLSTRecho wuz here 20:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To all editors dealing with article Jessicka/Hullballoo's aggressive edits

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xtian1313#To_all_editors_dealing_with_article_Jessicka.2FHullballoo.27s_aggressive_edits Xtian1313 (talk) 20:12, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that Xtian has been posting variations on this garbage for months and has uniformly had his complaints rejected (for example, at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive193#COI_User:Hullaballoo_Wolfowitz). It's the height of chutzpah for Xtian to edit articles directly relating to him and then insist that users whose edits he disapproves of are biased or have COIs. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:34, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I have to call you out on this one as well Hullaballoo_Wolfowitz, it seems, again, that you are wikibullying them. I see very little edit history of them editing articles related to them and those two edits would seem acceptable. -- Banjeboi 23:54, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Request for mediation not accepted

A Request for Mediation to which you were are a party was not accepted and has been delisted.
You can find more information on the case subpage, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Use of Sports Logos.

Umm, thanks I guess.. I didn't even know Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Use of Sports Logos was going on or that I was a party to it... - ALLSTRecho wuz here 02:26, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi
Glad that Twinkle is working for you again. I was offline for a bit so I didn't reply before it apparently resolved itself. Next time you hav problems with it, please have a look into the error console or the javascript console (depends on your browser where you find it) and look for any errors it reports.
For something completely different: Are you particularly attached to the shortcut links you have to this page, T:ASE and P:ASE? As you know they are actually cross-namespace redirects, and even if some pseudo-namespaces are somewhat accepted, none of them go to user or user talk space, so those two are pretty unusual, and should actually be deleted.

RFC moved

Discussion moved to Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/User_page_indexing. Gigs (talk) 18:47, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RFC/User page indexing

To answer your edit summary, it is very similar to Gigs, but not completely. I edit conflicted with him when I attempted to save mine. I copy/saved my statement then endorsed his. When I attempted to post mine again, I highlighted the sample text and accidentally hit ctrl-c instead of ctrl-v, so I had to start all over again. Mine does, however, go a little more specific with why internal pages need not be indexed, and I mentioned BLP specifically, as it's an important point. لennavecia 19:37, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. Thanks. - ALLSTRecho wuz here 19:42, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding images and sound samples: MJ as a featured article went through a heavy amount of scrutiny to include non-free content. For the purpose of encyclopedic analysis of an artist's music, sound samples are quite essential, even by the editors who specialize in WP:NFCC who are involved in reviewing music-related content. Janet Jackson, AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Phil Collins, John Frusciante, R.E.M. are other (among numerous) articles that feature several audio samples. Also, the article currently has one non-free image: the screen shot of "Scream". The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 22:25, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One sound sample would suffice.. no need in 3 of them. - ALLSTRecho wuz here 22:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. As with every music-related article, different audio samples are used to highlight different techniques used by the musician, particularly the evolution of an artists music over the course of their career. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 23:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As with all non-free content, it should be made very clear in the text why such content is included. If a reliable source says that a sound byte is integral to understanding Jackson's influence or effect, it should be included. If it does not say so, it should either be removed or the text amended to reflect it. A thorough discussion regarding how much nonfree content to use in a single article is always useful. I have no doubt that it was already had during FAC or its preparation, and that it will continue to be had. --Moni3 (talk) 00:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Rename

Thanks for letting me know about the speedy deletion of Template:Rename; sounds like it's worth killing now :o) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 10:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CROSS is only an essay, and what it claims as consensus looks wrong, either because it is unclear or consensus has changed. Cross-namespace redirects can be freely used (within reason) for certain namespaces, and they are exempt from CSD R2, but redirects to user space don't have that exemption. Even if speedy deletion is declined, the redirects are unlikely to be kept – Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:ASTAR, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:ZN and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:ASE were all deleted, and they weren't in the main namespace. snigbrook (talk) 00:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That was wikilaywering when you recreated them. Of course they are now on MFD, see here. Garion96 (talk) 08:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't logged in in a while so I didn't see your message, but I recently updated the digiclock template I made and it now supports a time zone offset as you and Cubs197 had suggested. It should be more useful now. • Anakin (talk) 03:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Wikipedia:Notability (uglyness) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for discussion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. ╟─TreasuryTagcabinet─╢ 17:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Hullaballo saga continues/ Any word whether he is a blocked editor?

Transmarch image

I'm not sure if you read my reply, but the image contains multiple geometry which does not qualify for PD ineligible. ZooFari 22:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It only contains 1 simple geometric shape, a star. Everything else is text. Per {{PD-textlogo}}, this logo is not copyrightable because it ..only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes.. - ALLSTRecho wuz here 22:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It contains text, a fixed star with a stroke, a background, and 3 colors. Seems too picky but something ineligible would basically be text. But if you insist, the image falls under your responsibility. ZooFari 22:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Currently a redirect this should be an article. The Free State of Jones (film) is in production as well. I was skimming through the WSJ when I thought of you when seeing "Rebelling Against the Rebels: Deep in Mississippi’s piney woods, Confederate deserters fought a different sort of war". -- Banjeboi 11:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't know about the book, thanks! I'm the one that created the The Free State of Jones (film) stub. Due to the past drama with my articles, I'm not creating any new articles for Wikipedia, but I do agree that it should have its own article instead of a redirect to a blurb about it. - ALLSTRecho wuz here 17:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You may not have known about this account

But did you create User:ASE? I not, then that user may be an impersonater.Abce2|Free LemonadeOnly 25 cents! 18:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's my WP:Doppleganger. See User talk:T'Shael#Dopple. Thanks. - ALLSTRecho wuz here 18:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It might be useful to have a little statement somewhere on your page saying something along the lines of "I own the following doppelganger account(s): User:ASE..." That could help alleviate any confusion of impersonation such as in this case (or even headoff concerns of sockpuppetry). LadyofShalott 18:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Was just looking at the templates for doing that. The account was just created about 5 minutes ago. Of course, anyone with a keen eye will notice the shortcut box at the top of this page too. ;] - ALLSTRecho wuz here 18:19, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
