Jimbo's page

Hmm well it may not be the browser's settings, but I can definitely see the script properly. It's the same with any of those foreign scripts - depending on browser or computer capabilities, a lot of scripts will show as question marks. It might be the version of Firefox you're using - I've got 1.5.0.1. You can change it back again if you like, I won't complain, but I think it'll be up to Jimbo to decide if he wants it in the long run. Thanks, — FireFox • T • 11:44, 17 February 2006

Removal

I was referring to the actual removal from the WP:RFA page, a nice bold action :-). Durin is just doing some cleaning up of the subpage after the fact. NoSeptember ^talk 08:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UPA Judge

Hi NSLE/Archive 6! You've signed up to be a judge for the Esperanza User Page Award! You'll have three user pages to examine. The user pages you get coincide with your signup number. So if you signed up to be a judge in spot 1 than you will get nominations 1-3. Pick your favorite one, and list it in the finalist section. After all 5 judges have chosen a finalist it's time to award them 1-10 points in the four categories:

Attractiveness: general layout, considering colour scheme and/or use of tables if applicable
Usefulness: links to subpages or editing aids, helpful information
Interesting-ness: quirky, unique, captivating, or funny content
General niceness: at the judges' discretion

Please remember to include Subpages in your judging criteria. See the Scores section on this page for additional information on your job as a judge.

Keep in mind that your scores are confidential! Email [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] with your scores and final picks. As soon as all the scores have been tallied, a winner will be announced! Thanks.

And here are the userpages for you to examine:

My Welcome

I'm not getting any traction on the manifesto, i'll probably need to go back to the newbies sometime this week if things don't change. Sorry, my friend. I followed your advice, and I gave it a shot, but I have to do what I have to do. If I can't do it without newbies, then I will involve newbies. They're being thrust into the bullshit anyway, I got another talk page message today by one who I think was victimized by the system. Karm a fist 16:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The RFA, That's A Good Point

You're absolutely right, I totally forgot about that, and it probably would hurt things so there isn't any real need to hurry on the petition, I can wait until after the RFA. Once again, thank you for your friendship in looking out for me, a lesser person would have just said "Whatever, Karmafist", but you care about me, and please know that I would do the same for you and support you in one form or another no matter what.

User:E-Series

Can something be done about this user? Most of their contributions have been complete nonsense, and it is really annoying several users. This person's talk page shows the frustation of many users, including yourself. Could the user be blocked for a bit or something, just so the person realizes how annoyed everyone is getting? Thanks for anything you can do. Hurricanehink 17:22, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, he's making sneaky changes to yours and other's comments on his talk page. I've reverted... hopefully that was the Right Thing to do. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 20:25, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thanks for voting!

Although this is a bit late in coming, I want to thank you for voting (no matter what your vote was) in my recent request for adminship. You might be aware that it did not pass due to a lack of consensus. The final tally was 21/9/10. I think I will try again this spring or summer after I have gained a bit more experience and met a few more fellow editors. Thanks again!

My (new) RfA

Hi NSLE!

Just a quick note to express my appreciation for your change of vote at my RfA. Unfortunately, it looks as though are large number of opposing voters have appeared and I would be extremely surprised if my new RfA passed... which is fairly disheartening considering that I was around 1 hour from succeeding last time!

In any case - it has been an interesting experience - one thing I can take from it is that someone with a clear thought process should learn to control the focus of their views. As I am wholly unable to pretend I do not have a clear POV, I doubt I will apply for adminship again. It seems fairly clear from this second submission that I am better off sticking to what I do best!

Anyway, many warm thanks for your support, and don't hesitate to give me a shout if you ever need my assistance for anything in particular.

Regards, DJR (Talk) 19:30, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I Have No Idea What Barnstar To Give You

NSLE, my gratitude to you is beyond a barnstar, so I honestly have zero idea knowing how to thank you, both for the rfa nom, and the friendship beforehand. I also am wondering if I should respond to the opposers using refs and notes similiar to Aaron Brenneman's re-rfa. I think they've just misunderstood things like all of us have over the past few months, and i'm wondering if it would just make things worse if I tried to bridge that gap now.

Why you reverted my edit?

Hello, I want to know why you reverted my edit in the Current events about the cease of National Unification Council. I think we should call Chen Shui-bian as "President of the Republic of China" instead of "Taiwanese president". And more, in Chen's viewpoint, his announcement didn't break his "4 noes and 1 without". Please give me a good reason about your revert. Thanks. --Theodoranian 08:54, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NSLE您好，我剛才發現你的母語是中文，所以我就直接用中文留言給您。我是中文維基百科的管理員之一，我的nickname是虎兒，來自於台灣。您說我的修改看起來不符合中立原則，然而我必須要提醒您，陳水扁所擔任職位的正式名稱是中華民國總統，而非台灣總統，我記得英文維基百科有一項原則（但我不確定有沒有改變）：應該稱為中華民國的時候就不應稱為台灣。雖然我們習慣上常講台灣某某，但是中華民國總統是正式的稱謂。另外，陳水扁有沒有打破他的誓言，這有不同的說法，某些人認為有（大陸、泛藍），但是有些人認為沒有（陳本人、泛綠，因為陳水扁認為他的四不一沒有是有前提的，今天前提不存在了，所以他不用遵守承諾），最沒有爭議的事實是陳水扁宣布終止國統會跟國統綱領。今天Current events原來所寫「陳水扁breaks his.....」是嚴重的NPOV，我認為維基要做的只是把事實說出來，至於到底陳水扁是遵守諾言或是個騙子，由讀者自行去判斷，而非我們去寫他違反諾言。最後我要說，我玩維基百科很久了，深知什麼東西叫NPOV與POV，如果您有時間，歡迎你來看看中文維基百科首頁新聞動態關於陳水扁「終統」的寫法。--Theodoranian 10:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't know that you can't read Chinese. Today, I just passed by and I found something wrong, so I corrected it. Hope you can understand what I said. ^__^--Theodoranian 11:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your questions

Thanks for your questions, I think you had some very well worded questions there, I've copy/pasted my answers below for your convenience. Tawker 01:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions from NSL E:
The following are hypothetical situations you might find yourself in. I'd like to know how you'd react, as this may sway my vote. There is no need to answer these questions if you don't feel like it, that's fine with me, (especially if I've already supported you ;)).

You find out that an editor, who's well-known and liked in the community, has been using sockpuppets abusively. What would you do?

Communication, I would post on WP:AN and in IRC. I would also leave a note on their userpage and try and determine if there is a rational reason for what is going on. I would not act offensively without due reason

While speedying articles/clearing a backlog at CAT:CSD, you come across an article that many users agree is patent nonsense. A small minority, of, say, three or four disagree. Upon looking the article over, you side with the minority and feel that the article is salvagable. Another admin then speedies it while you are making your decision. What would you do?

I would make a note on the other admin's talk page with a link to a sandboxed copy of the page, I wouldn't re-create or re-post without figuring out what is going on. Wikipedia is about consensus, not power trips.

You speedy a few articles. An anon keeps recreating them, and you re-speedy them. After dropping a note on their talk page, they vandalise your user page and make incivil comments. You realise they've been blocked before. What would you do? Would you block them, or respect that you have a conflict of interest?

I would ask another admin to have a look, blocking users who I have a clear conflict of interest with would be inappropriate.

Thanks for voting

I'd just like to take a moment to thank you, NSLE for voting in my request for adminship regardless if you voted for or against me. Seeing some very valid concerns, I've pulled the RfA until some of the concerns can be addressed. Thanks for your comments, I'll use them to help better myself -- Tawker 02:22, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review on Mucky Pup

I've started a deletion review on Mucky Pup. I would appreciate your comments there, as I've only just noticed that you've tried to delete the article twice before. I could find no listings for it in the candidates for speedy deletion or PROD listings, and there never was an AfD discussion on the article either. I've stated my reasons on the review page, and would appreciate hearing and debating yours, as I stringly believe you've acted in error in this deletion.

I don't see how this warrants a block, even a short one. Is there something I didn't catch?Voice-of-All^T|@|ESP 04:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the comments were out of line, but I don't think that they constituted a personal attack, per WP:NPA. I think that I am pretty liberal with NPA blocks, I hand them out quickly and swifty.Voice-of-All^T|@|ESP 04:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can't approve of this block either, NSLE. I think you should take a deep breath and unblock. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 05:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will not unblock someone who has made a persoal attack against me. It's just for an hour anyway. You are free to unblock if you wish, I won't reblock (I don't do wheel wars), although I strongly feel the block was rightly applied. NSL E _(T+C) at 05:02 UTC (2006-03-06)

I have unblocked. I believe you are wrong about the block being rightly applied, here's why: Blocking policy does not permit blocking for simple violations of WP:NPA. Personal attacks which place users in danger, yes. Disruption, yes. But single instances of personal attacks: no. There are good reasons for this: one is that it can be hard to judge whether something is a personal attack; different people may have a different opinion regarding the same edit. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 05:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will block for "FUCK YOU BITCH" with one time, but that is just the IAR in me. An ambiguous, inderict attack by negative action descriptor can never warrant and instant block. Anyway, lets just call it a night for now.Voice-of-All^T|@|ESP 05:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see alot of myself in him, he means well but says things that cause him trouble. I have faith that we'll both improve ourselves through mutual assistance as well as the mutual assistance that all Wikipedians should and usually do give each other.

In any case, despite me, if it weren't for you, by now Eddie'd definately be gone. He still has rough edges, but you've smoothed out so many of them. I hope to see you soon, please enjoy your wikibreak. Karm a fist 14:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
