Attention and participation

As you might know, The Signpost has been reporting on the Climate change case for the past several weeks. One of the drafting arbitrators is clearly unhappy with my reporting, and a couple of other users share a similar view. However, some users disagree (and on at least one occasion, one case participant disagreed with the objection raised (see this). Each user is obviously going to have their own opinion, but irrespective of the outcome, I think actual participants in the case (who are involved in the dispute or may be affected) should add their input. Therefore, I think your attention and participation is invited here. Ncmvocalist (talk) 09:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank semi-spam

Thanks for having the last word at my RfA, which has been closed as successful. It was a pretty good way to end the !vote. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 16:05, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Amatulic

I would like to question the tone of some of your comments in this RfA. Regarding the Stanley Wagner article, at the time of the AfD, it looked like this. Note that the article used as sources at the time not just the NYT obit, but another distinct full-fledged obit article (i.e. not just a list of survivors and date of the funeral, but an proper obituary article) from a smaller newspaper. Also used was another NYT article from when Wagner was alive, where almost a third of the article was devoted to quotes from Wagner and comments about him. And also cited was the NYT obit which was reprinted in substantial part in another major newspaper outside New York. I don't agree the article should be described as a "farce" with respect to establishing Wagner's notability at the time, nor that one should say that Amatulic's arguments fell on "deaf ears". --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:25, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Okay, maybe my tone was a little strong but those obits are generally void of anything within them that would suggest notability and if it is mearly the existance of the obit that we are going on I am rather suspicious as it makes we wonder about advertising revenue. I would also like to note that the obit was only published in the NY regional edition of the paper so it cannot be classed as a national newspaper obit but only a local one. I would have !voted delete on this one . Polargeo (talk) 09:15, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Looks like your prodigee is following on your footsteps :). Jrod2 (talk) 15:47, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I have had no contact with "my prodigee" I only asked you as an admin to assume good faith particularly if you are going to lecture others about it. Polargeo (talk) 08:44, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Due respect, Bro...when did I give lecture on good faith?? Matter of fact I apologized to him before ya gave me your silly token which i took no offense cause i love fish, aight. Peace out Jrod2 (talk) 15:16, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing :) Polargeo (talk) 08:37, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Barber

Don't let him bait you. He has a long history of this (although much of that history is obscured by a username change) and he's really very good at it. Just ignore him. -- Scjessey (talk) 14:58, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes I saw that username change. On another note why do we have to deal with and be polite to "users" like this? Polargeo (talk) 15:05, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Because good Wikipedians treat all users in exactly the same way. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Even when they call for you to be banned, blocked and desysopped based on some minor disagreement which was so minor I had even forgotten I had the disagreement with JWB. No JWB has passed any AGF with me. Polargeo (talk) 15:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Especially then. Grappling with assholes just covers you in their shit. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:24, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I found the thread title here funny. If I started a thread with that title, odds are the rest of the post would land me quite a long block. :-/ Delayed reaction due to my not following the big-waste-of-time case.-Atmoz (talk) 02:51, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Interesting and good to hear

In devotional service there are certain activities which are called determined, such as fasting on certain days, like the eleventh day of the moon, Ekadashi, and on the appearance day of the Lord. All these rules and regulations are offered by the great acaryas for those who are actually interested in getting admission into the association of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the transcendental world. The mahatmas, great souls, strictly observe all these rules and regulations, and therefore they are sure to achieve the desired result. .. Observing Fasting on Ekadasi In the Brahma-vaivarta Purana it is said that one who observes fasting on Ekadasi day is freed from all kinds of reactions to sinful activities and advances in pious life. The basic principle is not just to fast, but to increase one's faith and devotion for Govinda, or Krishna. The real reason for observing fasting on Ekadasi is to minimize the demands of the body and to engage our time in the service of the Lord by chanting or performing similar service. The best thing to do on fasting days is to remember the pastimes of Govinda and to hear His holy name constantly. .. One who hears this Bhagavatam on the Ekadasi or Dvadasi day is assured of long life, and one who recites it with careful attention while fasting is purified of all sinful reactions. .. One has to perform devotional service in full tapasya, austerity. One should fast on the two Ekadasi days, which fall on the eleventh day of the waxing and waning moon, and on the birthdays of Lord Krishna, Lord Rama and Caitanya Mahaprabhu. There are many such fasting days. .. According to Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, tapah, austerity, means that one should observe vows such as Ekadasi-vrata, in which one fasts from grains and beans twice a month. The word japtam refers to chanting the holy names of the Lord, such as Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has further pointed out that one can offer one's wife, children and home to the Lord by converting one's family into devotees of the Supreme Lord. Rather than becoming artificially puffed up in the pursuit of so-called status symbols, one's family should be trained to understand that they are eternal servants of the Supreme Lord. And when the entire family becomes dedicated to the Lord's service, a very beautiful situation is created. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.132.87.253 (talk) 19:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

AGF

You might want to tone this down a bit. The last sentence seems like a bad faith accusation that is likely to draw heat. -- Scjessey (talk) 10:32, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

You are right. But it is not actually a bad faith comment more a result of months of experience of Lar's actions. Polargeo (talk) 10:36, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. It is clear where Lar stands in this topic, which is why it is impossible for Lar to act as an impartial administrator. Your new language is better. -- Scjessey (talk) 10:44, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I do wish to be fair to Lar because I do genuinely think he is doing his best so thank you for putting me into line. Polargeo (talk) 10:51, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Climate change case

Just a note to say I've collapsed the Scjessy discussion thread, please don't add anything more to it (although I don't mind if you strike anything). Thanks. On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Dougweller (talk) 17:23, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

3rd opinion please

I userfied this-- User:Tunafish24/sanbox after CSD'ing per G4, as the creator disagrees strongly with the deletion. One of the problems is the lack of reliable sourcing in the article. They're all primary sources from the manufacturer. Could you look at the sources listed at User_talk:Tunafish24#MyGreenPC to see if they meet WP:V/WP:RS? Thanks Dlohcierekim 13:58, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

WUWT

The material in question is being actively discussed in talk. There is no consensus to remove it. Additionally, a large number of edits have both deleted and reinserted it. It's rather revealing that you, as an involved editor, and immediately after threatening me with a topic ban, post an edit warning against me, ignoring other editors who have been more active in regards to this section. Is this your official or unofficial stance? Fell Gleaming^talk 15:43, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I have reported your edit warring at the arbcom PD page because of the current limbo. Polargeo (talk) 15:46, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

If you want that to count as an official notification, provide me the link. I have no idea what an "arbcom PD page" is. Fell Gleaming^talk 15:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Done on your talkpage Polargeo (talk) 16:07, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Polargeo. I should probably inform you of this post to 3RRNB. You're not the "reported user", but I do mention you in my post, specifically your query asking whether FellGleaming is IP 99.144.248.213 and also your denial here of the counter-query. Best regards,  – OhioStandard (talk) 22:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Clarification

Are you in fact editor ScienceApologist? I think its important to clear this up immediately. Fell Gleaming^talk 17:11, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

He can't be ScienceApologist because I'm ScienceApologist. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 22:41, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

No. That was easy wasn't it, next question please. Polargeo (talk)

Are you two going to bicker all day? Should I find an administrator to give you a time out? -Atmoz (talk) 17:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm off home now. If you think admins should give editors blocks for bickering then you have a different view of wikipedia than I do. Mind you you have more experience of this than I do. Polargeo (talk) 17:18, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking they could force you edit only Pokemon articles for the next month. >:-) -Atmoz (talk) 22:30, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I like Pokemon but it would drive me nuts. Polargeo (talk) 08:34, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Relax

Last time I tried to calm you down (see "Barber" section above), my efforts were used to construct a case against me. I shall be more cautious this time and just tell you to relax a little bit. I sense your stress levels rising as you try to deal with this FoF/remedy nonsense you are facing. Many editors are being treated unfairly in this case, but I'm afraid there is little that can be done about it. Let your good behavior and quality Wikipedia contributions demonstrate your good faith and good intentions, and things will improve. Roger kindly offered me a reasonable, non-prejudicial solution to my difficulties that I think will be a benefit to both me and the project. Perhaps you can come to a similar arrangement if you sense your protestations are going to fall on deaf ears. In the meantime, my advice is to </stress> and focus on your baby daughter. Congratulations, by the way. :-) -- Scjessey (talk) 15:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I just don't see any problems with my editing. A topic ban is therefore completely nonsensical and I am not about to beg Roger for a solution. I am honestly going to retire from wikipedia should this sill nonsensical topic ban come to pass. Polargeo (talk) 15:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
