User talk:DreamGuy

I periodically go through and clean out the old comments... This is because they refer to old situations or that the discussions are otherwise no longer current. Those looking for archives are invited to refer to the history.

Note: If you are here to leave personal attacks, false accusations of vandalism, a long tirade about why your cat photo or article about yourself should be left alone as you and only you wanted, nonsensical rationalizations of why vampires, ancient astronauts, werewolves, "creation science" and so on should be treated as completely real and so forth, do not bother, as I'll either just remove them right away or simply point you to the appropriate Wikipedia policy which you should have read in the first place.

Otherwise please add new comments below (you can use the handy dandy + tab next to "edit this page" at the top of the screen).

No baiting zone

I am watching this page. If you are one of the small number of editors who User:DreamGuy has previously asked not to post here, please respect his wishes. If you need to resolve a problem, feel free to ask me or another administrator for help, or use one of our friendly dispute resolution mechanisms. Thank you. - Jehochman ^Talk 20:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

DreamGuy and i have had issues in the past. He has not requested my absence here, and, as you can see, my post below is of a conciliatory nature. --DashaKat 12:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any problem with that. Conciliation is a good thing. Happy editing. - Jehochman ^Talk 13:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually, his claim that I have not requested his absence here is false... In fact he was specifically told never to post here again by myself and also one or two admins previously. Of course I have no problems with him wanting to start fresh. DreamGuy 15:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I honestly don't recall either of those situations, but whatever. --DashaKat 20:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Information

I am trying to get a link to a site that deals with real life stories of MPD not just clinical studies or "this Dr. said that his patient" type of writings.

Is there no way to get a link to a very valid site that tells the true story of MPD and not some sensationalism type of article, only?

Please let me know. I'm trying to get the word out that you can live with MPD and I was recently featured on a show for this very reason. How else can I let others know?

Every article always goes to the extreme cases and it would be nice if Wiki would reference real life situations, not just clicnical theories of DID or someone else telling the story for a multiple.

Ty for the information,

Please see WP:COI for how to handle suggesting links to sites you are affiliated with, as well as WP:EL and WP:SPAM for the kinds of sites we would and would not link to in the first place. I think it'll be a tough sell to convince others that this personal blog would serve any encyclopedic purpose. DreamGuy 15:33, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Vlad Tempis Dracula

Hey...I offered you some photos of Dracula's Snagov gravesite, fotress, chapel, etc. that I took over the summer, but you did not respond. Are you interested? --DashaKat 12:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't remember seeing that offer. Is this supposed to be for work on some article here? DreamGuy 15:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Nope. Purely personal. Here the original post, dated 9 Sept 07...

Hey...I'm taking some time off, but before I disappear, I understand that some of your interests lie in occult legend and myth, specifically werewolves, vampires, and the like. I just returned from Romania, and had an opportunity to spend time in Snagov, as well as Bran. I'm wondering if you'd be interested in the pictures I took of Vlad Tempes' gravesite, and the church in which it resides. I've got a great shot of one of his original impaler devices, as well as a shot of the well he forced to have dug by hand...actually by hand...no tools. I even had a drink out of it...kinda creepy, but the water is sweet. Gory stuff aside, the church itself is magnificently painted and maintained.

Best...--DashaKat 20:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

NNDB

Hi, I have renominated the nndb template- Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_October_29#Template:Nndb_name. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 23:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, see my comment at the end of the tfd discussion- I think there has been some organized defending of NNDB going on by people associated with Soylent Communications and Rands. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 11:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not surprised, as it has happened in the past when I brought up NNDB elsewhere. By the way, I mentioned this on the WP:EL talk page because the editors there had previously ruled the site to be spam, which is where some of the recent delete votes came from. I don't know if it will be enough though. Over and over there we're seeing that people working with an agenda can mobilize and appear to be lots of people so that it overwhelms editors who genuinely care about the topic and who happen to take note of the controversy and take the time to express an opinion. With sockpuppets, paid marketing assistants at companies who have Wikipedia editing as part of their ob descriptions and so forth we've really got our work cut out for ourselves.

Arbcom enforcement complaint filed

I am not sure if you received the notice and removed it, or if the person filing the complaint forgot to notify you, but I wanted to make sure that you were aware that such a complaint has in fact been filed, noting violations of both Wikipedia policies and your previous ArbCom restrictions. As per policy, you are supposed to be notified. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 21:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
