"You sodomites really know how to stick together....yech !!!! I never met one who was not significantly emotionally disturbed. Oh, they can function and prosper in society but when the center of your life is your perverted sex you are emotionally disturbed and after looking at your user page are no different. People like you should and someday will be destroyed. It will be a glorious day. BTW i rotate ip addresses about every 2-3 days........Keep on Suckin'
ps. have you ever thought about putting a gun to your head and giving your life to jesus? i know i could not go through life day to day looking in the mirror at that vile degenerate looking back at me." - 97.88.222.103
Maybe I shouldn't have used that word, but it's obvious the guy is trolling on ASE's page because of the new userbox that he doesn't like. He doesn't seem to have a problem with the other userbox that actually uses the BSA logo and talks about not wanting to be associated with the organization. I find that hypocritical. He's on a mission to somehow prove that he's right and doesn't want any mention of the BSA's homophobic policies, even thought ASE's new userbox does not mention the BSA at all or use their logo. Other admins have mentioned they think it's ok the way it is. But that doesn't seem to be enough for him. After you left this same kind of comment on Justinm1978's page, he said "I shouldn't be stooping down to the same level." IMHO, that's B.S. He has been going after ASE for a few days now and is determined to get his way and leaving comments suggesting we're illiterate and suggesting that ASE is not willing to collaborate even though he has created the new userbox that is very neutral. I also find this hypocritical. I hope you and other admins can see that and I also hope your judgment is not swayed because you seem to agree with him.

Well... I've accepted the nomination and answered the questions. We'll see what the community has to say now. Thanks for the nom! AletaSing02:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I transcluded it to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Ya missed that step. They would have removed it totally. Now, as for this RfA. I totally support it, because of the quality of your edits and your demeanor on Wikipedia. I don't think I've once seen you get cross with anyone, edit war, etc. But I do want to prep you.. your total edit count is 7547. That will bring a lot of people who will give you praise but still oppose you because of "experience". Unfortunately, that's been the case in almost all RfA's I have seen. So just do your best to answer any questions posed and to drive home quality over quantity. :] Good luck Aleta! You deserve it! - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo04:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
7500 non-anti-vandalism edits is a lot. The only time somebody MIGHT say that's not a lot in an RfA is if the person in question was strictly a vandal fighter using a bot. I would also not be surprised if Wisdom doesn't change his oppose to support.Balloonman (talk) 08:01, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've created the 2 articles I mentioned and added quite a few articles to the list. Are you wanting to count schools such as Ravenscroft School on that list or does it need to be a specific building since that schools has multiple buildings? Side note: I use to live a stone's throw away from that school. I miss Wake County. APK is thinking about moving back there. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 10:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think schools in general would be right for the list unless they have architectural or historical significance, but I'm open to debate on that. Murphey School, as Raleigh's first integrated school, could use a page. Needham B. Broughton High School has one but it is in desperate need of cleaning up. As for other places, I'd like to see Pullen House get a page. It's not on the NRHP but is significant to me, anyway.
You've got the content part covered for most of thes and its much appreciated! If you've got a list of needs, I'd be happy to snap some public domain photos of these landmarks. Spring is beginning to bloom here and its getting to be good photography weather! Jmturner (talk) 14:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I need a picture of the new Raleigh Convention Center, if you get a chance. You mentioned historical schools. I'm going to write an article sometime in the next day or so for St. Mary's School (Raleigh), although it's listed as St. Mary's College on the National Register. I'm not sure if I should title it school or college. Do you know of some websites where I could get info to write about the Pullen House? I'm not seeing too much info at first glance. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 21:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I notice you reverted my edit to change the pronunciation listed for Raleigh from "ral-ee" to "rhymes with trolley" and marked it as vandalism. I'm curious as to why. I'm born and raised in Durham and I've only heard "ral-ee" a few times from Canadians or Americans living in the upper midwest. 66.57.252.97 (talk) 22:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I mistakenly marked it as vandalism because at the time, I was reverting vandalization on several articles and when I saw that edit from an IP it appeared to be a nonsense edit. Although it's not vandalism, I don't think adding "rhymes with trolley" is the best pronunciation to add. Also, I lived in NC most of my life and I'm not sure I see the problem with the current pronunciation. It appears to be the correct way to say it. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine, I don't think it's that important in the long run; but do you really think "ral-ee" (which I'm interpreting as "rally") is correct? That's like pronouncing Garner "gare-ner"... 66.57.252.97 (talk) 00:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry AgnosticPreachersKid, but not this kind of user behavior. The WP:AIN is supposed to report on abnormal user behavior such as evasion of blocks, abuse of admin tools, persistent vandalism, persistent spamming. Again, these pages are not the place to raise disputes over content, or reports of abusive behavior. Please take such disputes to requests for comment, requests for mediation, or requests for arbitration rather than in the WP:AIN. And please, be communicative, You just left a message to SatyrTN. Cheers.
--Mhsb (talk) 02:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I'm very communicative, hence the number of edits I've left on talk pages. You left the message on Satyr's page, and so I responded there. There's no need to leave another message on your talk page to respond to a question on his page. If you know how WP works so well, then you would know that. Also you're telling me to "please take such disputes..." You're talking to the wrong person. I'm not the one that posted anything at AIN. All I did was state that you're incorrect when you said "reporting abusive behavior" does not belong in AIN, because that's exactly where it goes. I wasn't referring to your case, I meant in general. So please get your facts straight. All you did was copy and paste the response you left on other talk pages onto mine without checking to see if it actually applied to me. Last thing, you're wrong about the incident not belonging on AIN, see this for details. Cheers. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. :-) I don't know if that project was more active at some point, but since I started editing, I haven't seen any type of communication or activity going on in the project. The only project member I've ever spoken to is Jayron32 (on second thought, he's not a member, just watches over some NC articles since he lives in Raleigh). I've been rating alot of articles for the project since it appears no one took the time to do that. I just add my new articles to the project list in hopes of someone that still watches the page will see and look over my articles for possible errors. I didn't get one of those cute Welcome banners or even a Hi when I joined. I guess I was spoiled by the LGBT project and the welcome I received. I have about 100 articles in my mind that need to be created. I just wish I had enough time and energy to create them all. I've still got to tweak the Raleigh article and some of the town articles in Wake County. I added alot of stuff (crap?) to most of the town articles already, but I need to go back over them with a fine comb. Also, there are soooo many articles that need overall maintenance, including my first article. AHHHHHHH! Am I the only person that feels torn about what Wikitask to do next? (I'm soooo not trying to come off as bragging, but I feel like I'm one of the few people doing anything on the NC articles, and god knows there are alot of them that need work.) AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Have you been nominating any of these articles you're creating for Did you know...'? That Lightner one you just wrote would be a great candidate for it, I'd think. AletaSing05:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I haven't nominated any of them but I was reading about the qualifications yesterday. I thought the same thing about Clarence Lightner, but I need a picture and maybe some more info for it to be long enough. I just e-mailed his Foundation to ask them to upload a picture. What else do you think needs to be done for it to be eligible for DYK? Right now, I think a good line would be "Did you know that Clarence Lightner was the first African-American mayor of a metropolitan Southern United States city?" or something like that. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looking through the requirements, it doesn't appear that it has to have a picture, although if you can get one, that would definitely improve the article. You've referenced a lot of it inline; if you could put some more inline refs, that might help... I haven't done it, so I don't know exactly what they look for in picking them. Something else that would be good to add, although I don't know if it makes any difference for DYK is an infobox, maybe a succession box for Raleigh mayors as well. AletaSing06:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the LGBT watchlist and saw over -63,000 on that article, so it appeared to be someone removing content. But I don't think there needs to be a disambiguation page because the church in Canada is not well-known, the link you added is just a page that says "not affiliated..." and the Westboro church in Kansas is the one people will be searching for.

Excellent article, crisp and factual. I think it would be good for DYK, but have not nominated anything for that myself. Good luck! --Parkwells (talk) 12:05, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question on firsts - I'd suggest going back to the original sources (rather than wikipedia) to check dates. Who knows, maybe they are counting the election dates, rather than when people took office, or maybe Atlanta overlooked Raleigh's first. The dates should establish it. Also, I've added more historical perspective - Lightner came of age when most blacks in the SOuth were disfranchised, and was of the first generation to be elected to political office after the Voting Rights Act. I think it's worth mentioning.--Parkwells (talk) 12:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the comment. I didn't actually take that picture, I cheated and found it on the Cary, North Carolina page ;) If I get a chance I will take a picture of the convention center, but I don't go through downtown Raleigh very often so it might be a while. --Fromnc (talk) 12:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(smacks himself in the head) Duh, I totally forgot it was on the Cary page. ha. That's fine about the Convention Center pic, just if you ever get a chance. Hopefully I'll talk to someone on here soon that goes by that area frequently. I know of a few Raleighites on WP. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 12:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Once upon a time, there was a really bored user that was vandalizing pages. Ms. Aleta left warning comments on his talk page. (Notice the spelling of 'faggot' in the unblock request...We're dealing with a real winner here.) The vandal decided it would be 'kool' if he left Aleta this nice message 3 times on her talk page, which Roleplayer and I reverted. Not wanting to leave others out, the boy decided to leave this message on Roleplayer's talk page because he was throwing a temper tantrum about us reverting his vandalism. All of this was going on while I (patiently?) waited for an admin to block the user after I reported him to AIV. So the user was blocked. Well, boredom and retardation got the best of the poor guy and he returned in a few minutes with another, yet similar name. He proceeded to leave lovely messages for the admin that blocked him and for myself. I was thrilled because I didn't want to feel left out like I did that one time at band camp. I reported the sock and he was blocked again. Well, I guess masturbating to midget porn on Xtube and picking the scabs on his scrotum caused by his condition got kinda old. He created another sock and the midget porn must have been really funny to him (that, or he was happy there wasn't too much stuff coming out of those scabs) because he left ROFL messages for me and Aleta. He was so happy about not having alot of pus, apparently, he was rolling on the floor and laughing in excitement. So I reported that account as well. Now, you know The Rest of the Story.

No, but I might tell you a story about the time I "met" a nice off-duty man (that looked like a Greek god) from Iowa while strolling the white sand dunes of a nude beach near Pensacola. The lesson I learned that day: sand can get into so many places. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 12:04, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are apparently the "real winner" here. If you would have actually looked you would have seen the unblock request was made by someone esle. My guess is that would be you. Did you not realize it was an insult to waterboy, and they were calling him a faggot? That should have been your first clue. 123.242.230.161 (talk) 16:58, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Here is what I'm wondering. How do you make your IP adress completely different that rapidly? I didn't know you could do that. My IP only changes like once or twice a year. 123.242.230.161 (talk) 17:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
O rly? *looks at your contribs* "You do realize that if I wanted to continue making the Anberlin article factual all I would have to do is create an account, right? An account is no longer considered new after a few constructive edits. Also I could make a 100 accounts today, all with completely different IP's and in a short time they would no longer be new accounts. So don't think you all won, I just got bored with it." Kind of silly to be accusing APK of being the one prone to anon IP abuse here... Rachel Summers (talk) 20:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What the fcuk is this person talking about. I've been on off WP for a few hours and find some random anonymous IP (probably Waterboy) accusing me of rotating IP addresses. Troll. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's the same guy..shortly after I posted here, my talk page and the last thing I edited got hit (but very quickly reverted by others). The silly twit hasn't figured out the virtues of laying low, he's just making enemies left and right. Rachel Summers (talk) 00:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On the Kamau Kambon article, someone is removing the racism category saying it is a violation of BLP. The subject of the article said, "The only solution in my estimation is to exterminate white people." Does the racism category belong? Calling for the genocide of white people seems, oh I don't know, just a wee bit racist. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 00:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oy..depends on how Wikipedia defines racism in terms of categorization. If they go by the definition that implies the desire to use institutional power by the dominant cultural majority (in the US, whites) against minorities, then it wouldn't be. On the other hand, if they go by a broader definition that involves any persecution of a discrete race, regardless of the subject's minority/majority status, then it would be. Rachel Summers (talk) 01:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By the broader definition, yes--but then there is the argument that while such a view constitutes prejudice, as the view of a minority it doesn't count as racism. Again, it depends on which school of thought is being applied here. Rachel Summers (talk) 01:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth--I note that groups such as The New Black Panther Party are listed under that category. If they can be interpreted as black supremacist and therefore racist for WP categorization, then seemingly so could Kamau Kambon. Rachel Summers (talk) 01:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
With the caveat that I no nothing about the subject, and haven't even looked at the article, I would that it certainly sounds like racism to me. (Of course, there may be problems analogous to those with the homophobia cat being discussed elsewhere.) AletaSing02:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone please attempt to write something on the Talk:Elisabeth Hasselbeck page, a test edit or something. I have repeatedly tried to post on there and keep getting a "spam filter message." Someone keeps removing material from the article and I can't explain why it belongs. BTW, that user has a major agenda. I'm trying to add: "Arthur Smart is repeately removing material explaining why Elisabeth was right in relation to her debate with Whoopi about black men having the right to vote before women. He says it's POV and that it's debateable. Obviously, there is no debate about when the ammendments were passed and what they were about. It appears to be an attempt to make Elisabeth look wrong by removing facts." It won't let me post it. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 01:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I tried to post and got a spam filter link referring to some external site. My post contained no external link, and the only internal link was to this page. So, the problem is more widespread than just effecting you, APK. Maybe report it to WP:ANI with a copy of the spam response? Jay*Jay (talk) 01:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I've removed your request to have the above user blocked, as I can't tell that he's had any vandalism edits after a final warning, not am I seeing any blatant evidence of sockpuppetry in relation to the three accounts you mentioned. Additionally, User:Boobyboshay is not registered. You may want to bring this case to WP:SSP or WP:RFCU for more investigation. Thanks, Hersfold(t/a/c)02:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The user you said on AIV admitted to being a sock. I might have missed something (as is common for poor old me, but what can you do?) here, but in this comment: [2] I think he says he's not a sock, but admits to vandalizing. If he was blocked for being a sockpuppet, I think he ought to be unblocked, the reblocked for the right reason. Just so you know. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:26, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not seeing it; all I gather from that is that he is unfortunate enough to have down syndrome, and put something about porn on your userpage, thinking you'd like it. Could you please clarify where the sockpuppet part comes in? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, read his latest comments on his talk page. He says he just "happen" to come across my talk page. His very first edits were to add porn to my page. Please don't try to justify his obvious "sockiness." AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well no, it's not a joke. I merely don't like when someone is jailed for the wrong reasons. I don't see how this evidences that he has more accounts on Wikipedia, but if it does somehow, I have no qualms with it. A Wikipedia criminal, for whatever they've done, has to be properly dealt with, after all. And now I'm sure I've wasted about half an hour of your day, for which I am sorry. Good day, and happy editing!!! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 03:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Realizing he's a SOCK is called common sense. He won't answer the questions I've asked him about how he came across my talk page and decided as his first edit, to add porn. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, now I see. I don't know of any politer way to say this, but isn't that still a little presumptuous? Maybe he was scared to answer. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 03:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC) Although I can't offer an explanation as to why he would have chosen your page to pornographilize, other than that it was a random choice. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 03:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not surprised. She posted again to test whether or not I would remove it and so she could report me if I did. According to this, I can remove comments. I politely asked her not to post again and she did anyway. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you notice the edit history in the past few minutes, you'll see why Willa has received a final warning about harassment on her talk page and at the ANI post she started. I'm soooo over this.

Really folks--this is obviously a troll. Why don't we ALL just mind our own business instead of defending them when they throw temper tantrums? Rachel Summers (talk) 05:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Except that as far as I'm aware, we're not doing anything wrong by discussing her hharassment of you on your user page. And I don't care to have my convos interrupted, particularly on behalf of someone who gets their rocks off manipulating others into rushing to their 'rescue'. That's my piece, I'm done now. Rachel Summers (talk) 05:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I have rescued nobody. I have warned that person, and yet they don't seem to be heeding it. See my latest ANI post. This is getting silly, and for the record, I agree with everything Rachel has said.
