User talk:Calton

It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that.

Some ground rules before you leave a message

1. I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
2. This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
3. If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Wikipedia guidelines or rules, note that Wikipedia is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
4. There is no Rule 4.
5. Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
6. Don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. Do I look like Montel Williams? Do I? NO? Then don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams.
7. Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
8. Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a No Smoking page.

Thank you. -- The Management.

Daughter of David Woodward - copyright criminal??

Hi Calton, I see that you flagged a copyright infringement which shut down a page I started for my dad as a commemoration of his birthday/anniversary of his death was last week. He was one of the top cartographers in the world and I thought his bibliography could be of use on the site.

I merely pasted his bio (which he wrote I believe) from his own site to wikipedia. And yet, you so relish the idea of "mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical" that the site was plastered with a harsh red flad of copyright infringement and investigation!!!

I value Wikipedia's restrictions and appreciate your keen watchdog pride but could it be there is a hazy fog covering the line you tread between dishonesty and humanity?

I will now begin sending emails to all the legally-required copyright blah blah blah. I hope the site will not shut down before I can collect the necessary info. I could hardly figure out how to send you a message, so this will take a while....Another afternoon wasted.

Sigh.

Please see Help:Talk page where it is made clear that it is acceptable to redirect one talk page to another where they are both the same account. This is a static IP address and it's not changing. If it ever does change, I'll remove the redirect but until then, I want to keep all communications on my user talk page. I am allowed to do this. Please stop changing the redirect. — Preceding comment signed as by Dbiv (talk · contribs) actually added by 80.177.212.6 (talk · contribs)

Um... did you WANT to be?

I'm lazy and I didn't look in archives and stuff, but did you want to be an admin? when someone as old time as The Land says "I thought he was one" that's a pretty good giveaway to me. Happy to nom or conom if you're interested. You can reply here. ++Lar: t/c 14:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Consensus

Could you define that please? Majority? Supermajority? And of what? People Powered 23:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC) ok, thanks.People Powered 23:44, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

That page doesn't particularly help much, it's rather vague on what "consensus" actually is. After reading that, I assume that this concept is similiar to Potter Stewart's definition of pornography. People Powered 04:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

What's going on?

I simply changed the factoid (which had been there for months) in the Sheehan article from Vacaville to Berkeley. True, perhaps it does not belong in the first paragraph, but there was no need to delete it. Couldn't you have moved it instead of deleting it? I think her moving from the moderate bedroom community of Vacaville to Berkeley (of all places) warrants a mention in this article, as it seems to fit her pattern of leftist activity - Neanderthalprimadonna 14:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh and BTW, if she has officially changed her residence to Crawford, Texas that warrants a mention too. IMHO.- Neanderthalprimadonna

Talk: Marvin Heemeyer

You have single handedly ruined the article with unbelievable slander and misrepresentation, please leave the new article that will come up soon alone! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.207.49 (talk • contribs) 19:57, September 5, 2006 (UTC)

Not entirely civil, perhaps, and not productive, but doesn't really qualify as a personal attack. "Dr. Relativism" might qualify as a personal attack if used repeatedly or as part of a pattern of less-than-civil edits regarding that particular user, but as it is it's just something to raise your eyebrow at. However, it does reflect a disturbing trend. Captainktainer * Talk 02:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The candidate did not add the RFA to the main page, nor is there any indication that the candidate asked the nominator to do so. RFA's should not be added to the main page by a !voter. Therefore, it does not appear to have been formally accepted. Petros471 12:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Civility

Regarding edits such as this: Editing another user's signed statements is HIGHLY innapropriate, as is most of your communications with this user. Stop now, or you will be blocked for disruption. --InShaneee 15:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

No, you won't. Consider this your last warning. --InShaneee 15:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes. You're trying to cleverly insult him. Don't do it again. --InShaneee 15:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not going to warn you again. The next time you display such incivility, regardless of what any other user may or may not being doing, you're going to get a time out. --InShaneee 16:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Alright. Believe what you wish. But the next time you edit another user's signed comments, you will be blocked without further warning or discussion. Period. --InShaneee 16:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
