RfC/U

I am concerned that your interactions on Wikipedia may be disruptive. I have accordingly opened a "Requests for comment" to invite community review at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Xanderliptak. This RfC/U is not yet certified and may not be. Currently, I am the sole signatory. If another contributor who has attempted to address these concerns with you does not also certify within 48 hours, it will be closed and deleted as "uncertified." If you have not participated extensively in an RfC/U before (I have not), you may find Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct/Guidance2 helpful, especially the section "If you're the subject of an RFC/U". --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:35, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

O'Donovan arms

Hi Xander. Since I see you are involved in a dispute about things I don't understand at all and don't want to, I'm perfectly happy to take down the arms from all pages like you did. When the other user restored them I just assumed it was all worked out, not understanding the issue. Now I see it is not, although I still don't understand any of it. But thank you very much for drawing them and I am glad to see them in your sample gallery at your website. I have now removed them from all pages here.

I look forward to seeing O'Conor Don's!

Roux, whom I don't know, has restored the arms, and I, as their original (spiritual) "commissioner" have removed them again. Since I am a descendant of the last inaugurated lord/flaith/prince and a cousin, if a very distant and quite poor one, of the modern Lords of Clancahill I get to have my way here, I think. I hope. As their representative I own the message of four of those articles, and the fifth, Irish heraldry, I don't see much case for, since you are the artist and they don't necessarily need to be there since others could be used.

Now I know the name of a major problem. I feel for you, Xander. And yes I intend to use my otherwise worthless female line pedigree from the medieval family to respect your wishes in these articles. Who knows how I will but it sure sounds impressive! I'll wave my spiritual White Wand in their direction or something and send the enemy scattering! DinDraithou (talk) 22:47, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Perfectly put. It's obviously a little nuts, or maybe just stupid. Anyway, User_talk:FisherQueen#Those_arms is the place to be. I've got myself sounding right important. And I have no intention of entering the discussion you know where because that would dignify you know what. DinDraithou (talk) 00:34, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

This is the weirdest discussion ever and such a spectacular waste of time! Anyway, you know I don't want to get blocked for removing the images again so we'll just have to let the character win for now and let the "experienced" (lazy) admin feel more experienced. I have other things to do. But at least you can use this, whatever it was, in the future as evidence of... nonsense? DinDraithou (talk) 01:07, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

A mess and hastle it is. I've had problems with a few editors in the past and have occasionally told myself to learn some procedure, but never have. Part of it is that I just forget too soon and don't care, but also I can't remember where I've had repeated and repeated problems with the same one... so I probably haven't. In your case you are more likely to because of what you have to offer and defend. I've followed less than 1% of it but there was one discussion I saw a while ago where you were making a sophisticated defense and none of the maybe five editors disagreeing with you were really saying anything. But I guess if you bring not only specialized but arcane knowledge to a place like this it will sometimes happen. Then it is your artwork and some people may think you are advertising, nonsense because you'll hardly make much money this way. It's Wikipedia! People aren't coming here to see arms so they are just an unexpected delight. Sure it's a curious place to show off, but there's nothing wrong with just doing that. I do it with some of my own arcane knowledge and just love the slightly weird persona I think I've created. But I've created 80 articles, the majority with good scholarly content, some of it rare, and made major contributions to others. So I can only imagine how I would react if I were challenged like you have been by some people here. Although small and not perfect this unique article is a minor masterpiece and if only slightly expanded with some easily written original narrative could be of journal quality. The research is that good and yet I offer it for free. But it's not a pretty picture, the laws concerning which form of knowledge are different. DinDraithou (talk) 03:15, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Since DD deleted this from their talkpage, here you go. This will *help* you.

It really is that simple actually. Just go to WP:AN/I. Post a concise summary of the problem. Include specific diffs which show the exact problem is occurring, and that you have attempted to resolve it. That's really all you need to do. I will point out, however, that the diffs are the most important part. You should ensure that every allegation is supported by one, and that the diff actually says what you say it says. I'll get you started. Click here to start a new section on AN/I. Click here for all of my 21K contributions. This will give you a 50K foot view of policy, while the two collapsible templates below my comment here will provide you with a list of key guidelines and policies. Enjoy.→ ROUX ₪ 02:43, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Wow, 21 thousand edits? It is impressive you have that many problems with editors. [talk] XANDERLIPTAK 04:40, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Notice

Your claim that I stole an image and uploaded it to commons is an outrageous lie, and I am reporting you to WP:ANI. I have also notified the board at commons, since your lie spans both sites. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:03, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
