Questions, comments, thoughts, complaints? (last blanked 10/17/07)

Have you considered archiving instead of blanking? - CobaltBlueTony 16:56, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What constitutes notability?

Hi Everyking! - In my course of studies I am a fan of various art schools most notably Dadaism and Surrealism, and the more recent group Massurrealism. I've read the book of their essays and have been following this group for some time now. Please visit on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massurrealism my knowledge of wiki standards may not be up to par, but this tag makes no sense. I've noticed you have also worked on this entry in the past. It seems to me that there are considerable references included from third parties. What gives? --LAgurl (talk) 11:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pokemon Lists

Hey! I noticed that you've taken an active interest in improving the Pokemon stuff on Wikipedia. I understand that you probably want the articles back, too. But while you're busy persuading the senior members of the project to undo the lists; I noticed that List of Pokémon (381-400) had some virtually empty sections on pokemon. If your up to it, we could expand on them a little and improve what Wikipedia has right now. If the list are ever un-merged, any useful information would just be put back into the articles anyway.

WP:PR, The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power

The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power, at Wikipedia:Peer review/The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power/archive1. You commented back when this article was up for deletion discussion, and I don't think you monitor the WikiProjects I posted this notice to. Your suggestions on any tips to get this article eventually to WP:FA, or if you think it is ready for WP:FAC or WP:GAC, would be most appreciated at the Peer Review. Thank you. Curt Wilhelm VonSavage 19:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hi Everyking, I saw that you frequently contribute to African articles, and was wondering if you could look over an article about an Ugandan sect, the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, that I have expanded. I am working with the suggestions on the talk page and could use another eye. Thanks, --arkalochori ^|talk| 01:30, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RotC election

Any chance of finding out who won the seats for which the Republic of the Congo parliamentary election, 2007 results were annulled? Seen any info on by-elections yet? —Nightstallion 22:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing we lack now is the date of the by-election... —Nightstallion 10:27, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, great. I've tried to find info on that point, but I haven't been able to find *any* mention of a date up to now. —Nightstallion 11:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No luck yet, either, I suppose? —Nightstallion 23:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hah! They'll be held on 7 December 2007, confer http://www.afriquenligne.fr/actualites/politique/legislatives-partielles-en-decembre-au-congo-2007111511495/ —Nightstallion 13:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Togolese parties

I think I managed to decypher most of the abbreviations from {{Togolese parliamentary election, 2007}}, but four are still missing. Any idea? —Nightstallion 12:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nov 11

Hi Everyking. I'm looking to archive some of these requests for clarification, so I'll note here that November 11 appears to be the set expiration date for your restrictions. This is the last revision relevant, where Kirill Lokshin agreed on Nov 11. Tell me if you'd like it restored, but I don't see any likelihood of a different day being selected as the expiration date.

Unless I'm much mistaken, today is the 11th. I believe your restrictions have expired? If so, here's some balloons for you! Good luck! Acalamari 17:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary User

Hi there. Could you confirm that the User:Everyking on en.Wiktionary is you (he says that he is, but I have my doubts). -- Jeff Knaggs (talk) 22:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC) (aka SemperBlotto on Wiktionary)[reply]

That is not me. Thank you for checking. Everyking (talk) 23:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. He is now blocked (seems to be one of our long term sneaky vandals). Jeff Knaggs (talk) 10:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WWE RAW 2

this page has been vandalized by the same user 8 times. do you think you can leave a message on their talk page. I'm also warning, you, it's not 1 ip address, but 2 in the same range. Tech43 (talk) 06:36, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have found where the IP's are located: Canberra, Australia. Looked on another wrestling page and have found several Canberra Ip's who have vandalized. Who should I go to? Tech43 (talk) 07:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i don't know the templates for warnings. i will also report it. thanks for the help. Tech43 (talk) 07:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Troublesome

Yes, I chose words carefully. I do not think you're wrong, and I do not think you're bad (although late in the game I think you were certainly the one, but you knew I thought so). The question, in that sentence, was merely "going to cause a lot of trouble," which you very much have done, and intentionally! You meant to cause problems when you caused problems, just as Giano has intended to cause trouble when he has caused trouble. If you believe that you are right and believe that it's time to cause problems, you have done.

If you want to go on to ask "What is my evaluation of Everyking," it's pretty nuanced. I think you didn't jump as much as you were pushed. I think you were as much victim as perpetrator. You reacted. At the same time, when the proximal causes were removed -- when the people who were pushing stopped pushing (or were stopped) -- you sort of did what they wanted by starting to see everyone through a filter of enmity. Begging your pardon, but looking at my edit and thinking I'm against you or that my judgment is bad for it is sort of still giving what those people wanted.

Finally, in that conversation, the question was "An administrator who will mistakenly or intentionally use administrative powers awry." Again, you knew exactly what you were doing, and I was addressing an audience who would never have stood for my mentioning the administrators who have done the most spectacularly troublesome acts (Kelly, Tony, Ed), so I used your troubles.

I apologize for offending, but I stand by my statement that you were troublesome, though never out of ignorance and not without legitimate cause. (Comparing you to one of my oldest on-Wikipedia friends, Giano, should tell you that no insult was intended.) Geogre (talk) 12:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Typo redirect Color Outside the Lines

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Color Outside the Lines, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Color Outside the Lines is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Color Outside the Lines, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

What do I need to answer? Alright then. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've answered it. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sikua/Situa

Hi. In fact, according to the edit histories the article with the correct spelling was created, albeit in abbreviated form, some three hours before you first created your article with the miss-spelled title. I have restored your version.--Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 19:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Joyeux Noël

I just want to wish my fellow Wikipedians a Merry Christmas! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 01:58, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stubs

Well, firstly, I do not appreaciate the tone used in your message towards me. I've noticed your work on Wikipedia and believe me, it is appreaciated. However, it is not reply to blast me for such a trivial few words. I labeled those articles as former politicians because, to my knowledge at the time of writing them, they were former politicians (not current foreign ministers). Please adjust your tone next time you leave me or anyone else a message.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 01:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ambassador

Uh... if he hasnt served "since 2007" then he hasnt served "as of 2007". How is there a difference? And why do you oppose cite web? Jose João (talk) 02:54, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Really? Cause I created the article and used cite web which would make me think cite web would stay on the article. But that's just me. Personally though, I wish Wikipedians would just pick one reference style so this wouldnt be an issue. If possible try and find the exact date (although I assume by your previous edits that is your goal). Jose João (talk) 03:16, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year, Everyking

Milton Jimenez

Hi. I wondered if it is possible to see which articles have been deleted following a speedy tagging by the user who nominated Milton Jimenez for deletion. The reason I ask is that the Milton Jimenez article was originally speedy deleted (the deleting admin has refused to comment) and User:Mh29255 has nominated a number of articles for speedy deletion over the last few days that clearly didn't match the criteria [1]. My concern therefore is that more articles which should not have been tagged, may also have been deleted (I only noticed Milton Jimenez being deleted, because I went back to add the references section). Thanks HookOnTheWall (talk) 05:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. However, I was hoping to see which articles had been tagged by User:Mh29255 (and then subsequently deleted by various admins) rather than see the deletions made by a given admin (it is Mh29255's tagging, and possible mistaken deletion based upon that tagging, which concerns me). Is that possible? Thanks again HookOnTheWall (talk) 06:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, too bad. Thanks for taking the time to respond, and thanks also for your note of encouragement. HookOnTheWall (talk) 06:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I wonder if you could please comment on what has been said here. Am I correct, or have I misinterpreted the criteria? Thanks HookOnTheWall (talk) 04:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have done what you suggested. Thanks again. HookOnTheWall (talk) 05:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

request

Hi. Could you have a look at the discussion at Talk:Communist Party of India (Marxist)? I don't really know how to procede with this, and an outside comment would be very welcome. --Soman (talk) 01:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

It doesn't always take one minute to grant the request: some users are known to be trustworthy enough to grant it immediately while others take more time to research them. In your case, I knew you were trustworthy to use rollback from both the fact that you were an effective admin during your time as a sysop, from my past observations of you, and because I don't believe you'll ever be abusive: I can trust you. Good luck, Everyking. :) Acalamari 19:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at your recent edits, I'm happy with my decision. :) Just one thing though, when warning a user for vandalism don't forget to add "subst" before the template. For example, in this edit, you should have put {{subst:test2}} rather than just {{test2}}. Apart from that, keep up the great work! :) Acalamari 19:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Save Us 229

I think you've been needlessly hard on him. He's just trying to do a good job here like everybody else including you and me. There was a big, big mess made by others and he plunged in to help with it. --A. B. ^(talk) 03:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent keep comments in AFDs

Just saying notable isn't a real reason to keep it. Next time you are part of a deletion debate: actually use a reason that is sentences and not just one word. Short comments (like the one you posted) in deletion debates will usually be ignored, and at times can be considered disruptive. RobJ1981 (talk) 12:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not everyone in deletion debates are "deletionists". Wikipedia simply isn't the guide to everything, so deletion debates are necessary. RobJ1981 (talk) 06:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everyking, Rob does have a point. It is always worth giving some indication of the basis on which you are !voting. for one thing, it is more effective that way. I don't think short comments are disruptive, though, just unhelpful. It often does help reach compromise positions. DGG (talk) 05:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page as an essay

It looks to me like your user page, re controversial actions taken by Admins etc would make a nice start to an essay on Ethics. What do you think?Wjhonson (talk) 23:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Hey there, I'm writing to inform you that I have withdrawn my request for adminship, which was currently standing at 11 supports, 22 opposes and 6 neutrals. This count could have been so much better if I had understood policy, although I believe that 17 questions is a lot to ask of a user's first RfA. I will take on all comments given at the RfA and will endeavour to meet the high expectations of the RfA voters. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN}^{play it cool.} 21:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which closed unsuccessfully with 25 support, 18 oppose, and 6 neutral. Thanks for the support and I'll look forward working with you. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 06:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

for the thoughtful reply on my user talk page. Also, if you have more time, could you please take a look at the survey on Talk:Burma? Take care, Maglev Power (talk) 00:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question

It was just over two weeks ago when I granted you rollback. I wanted to ask, how has it been for you to revert vandalism more quickly again? Acalamari 23:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I was just asking because I was curious, that was all. I sometimes check up on people I've granted rollback to to see if they're happy with it. No problems here. Acalamari 00:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Rfa

My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, But I wanted to thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.--MONGO 19:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE:the aftermath

I'm willing to do all the cleanup and redirecting, although I would wish to say that two seperate articles on the Political stuff and the Violence would be a BAD THING. The aftermath section was getting too long anyway (almost half the size of the the article) and it was much longer than the violence article so I decided it was the right thing to do. I didn't talk to you about this beforehand because I was stupid and didn't consult the edit summary to find that you added much of the content. Also, you do not own wikipedia articles and if you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it, as stated at the bottom of this edit box. Editorofthewiki (talk) 22:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please cool down. I didn't mean to insult you. I was just saying that Political stuff and Violence would look better in one article, rather than two. I did not destroy your work, I just merged it. Please stop almost yelling at me on my talk page. I will solve the problem real soon. Editorofthewiki (talk) 23:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your compliment. I see you have taken great interest in the article, so please update it when more information is available as I will be working on other pages in the meantime. Editorofthewiki (talk) 00:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Four years!

According to your contributions, you made your first edit about four years ago, and have made some 105,000 edits since then. Congratulations!

It's also been about a year since your last RfA. Do you have any intention of running again? Acalamari 02:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) I'll be glad when you do get to run at RfA again once your sanctions are lifted; I think you'd make a great admin again. Acalamari 03:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome: I would have been disappointed if ArbCom hadn't done the appeal in the open, otherwise I may not have been able to write that. I was hoping to say something for you, and I'm glad I got the chance. Acalamari 17:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
