Hi there! I've just unblocked Wonderfool's indefinite block - I think it might be better to leave it as is unless there was some pressing concern to block indefinitely. I've left some ideas on WP:AN, so perhaps we can all follow up on this there. --HappyCamper 14:03, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What not to post?

Hi, you recently deleted one of the articles on which I spent a good deal of time and effort. I'm new here, so I don't want to point any fingers... I just want to get a better idea of what I am and am not allowed to make articles about. Could you link me to something that will give me some good pointers? This particular article concerned a game clan. Thanks.

Grrrr

Hey. You deleted a great deal of a page that I had been working on for quite some time (like the post before me). I did a lot Wikipedian research to make sure I could do what I did. So mabye next you're about to go delete the whole fucking article, why don't you try and tell the person what YOU THINK is wrong with it. Mabye they'll explain it to you.

Dictators

So Zoe, have you revised your view that to call Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Pol Pot dictators is POV because "to some people, they're heros"?jucifer 01:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know youa are not a nazi that is not at issue.

The question is do you still think it is POV to call them dictators? jucifer 01:43, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How so?

Sorry, just thought I'd add to this. Stalin was a communist leader. Hitler was voted democratically. Mussolini and Pol Pot I think were both democratically elected. The term dictator is subjective. It is always a POV statement. You can say how they were elected, and you can assert that certain people have said certain things about them, but you can't say something like that outright. It's a bit like the argument on Osama bin Laden, where they try to assert that "Prior to 9/11 most westerners didn't know about OBL". Well I did, and I think he was in the news often enough from 1992 that you'd be pretty damn blind to miss it. I was pretty amazed to read the statement that to some people that was the first they'd heard of him. He was US public enemy number 1, from about 1995 or so, maybe 1997 tops. I thought that was why they blamed him for 9/11, to get rid of him. Statements like that are subjective. It is hard to deal with POV because you never know that you're making it. Yet everything we say is POV. I can never be neutral, nor can you be. Even if we put ourselves in someone else's shoes regularly, we still can't do it. One important thing is to use the right language in saying something. Often that's enough to stop POV. So, instead of calling them dictators, try calling them leaders, and then qualify that by talking about what kinds of things they did when they were leaders. You can't say that they were dictators as a definite statement, but you can say that the US government said that they were dictators. There is a difference.

New page creation announcement

Zoe - The dictator of love

So... what do i do then?

I am talking about Elefantes. And about the vulgar language, I was kind of mad that you deleted part of my first article. Sorry. I'm sure you know a lot more about Wikipedia stuff than I do (and fetishes too). So, back the lyrics thing, what do you think I should do. Should I just put a link to wikisorce on that page. What are some other things I could do?schyler

User:Jaculis

Zoe, I was trying to give an example of "arcu" web domain usage of Latin, was not finished with the post when you deleted it [check the time of creation and edits], and still feel the rest of the post had merit. You discarded the references to Horace's work along with everything else. I wish you'd reconsider and edit out the portion that you feel objectionable instead of throwing out the "baby with the bathwater". FYI I ran across the domain name is a Google search. I have no business relationship with them at all, and could care less about what they were doing. To accuse me of attempting to promote a web site is rushing to judgement, and is hurtful, especially since I was in the process of editing the article and checking links, and was not trying to promote anything except an understanding of the term "arcu". I detest being accused of something I was not trying to do.

User:Jaculis

Zoe, I appreciate you understanding that I was not trying to be inappropriate. I have a question as how to cross-link terms in the Wiktionary from Wikipedia, and vice-versa. Is using the external link the way to go? or is there a special format for an internal link to a "term". Point me to the manual and I'll read it. I just don't know where to start. I agree with you that the the entry for Propel is more suited for the Wiktionary (which I didn't know existed until now). Thanks.

Big East Conference Gallery

Zoe, I noticed you deleted the gallery despite the fact you were the only one who seemed to want it deleted. The consensus so far has been to keep it. If you are going to remove the gallery from this college conference, you should go ahead and remove the galleries from all of the other conferences as well. The people who added them on the other pages might bark at you though as the general feeling seems to be that people like them. Do you want to put it back on there or should I revert it back? --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 03:51, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It would also be helpful to fully address the reasonable questions raised in Talk:Big East Conference instead of constantly deleting what multiple users think is useful content. --User:Masonpatriot

Zoe, Please don't misunderstand. I said consensus so far and general feeling. It seems this has been an ongoing problem just recently, but from what I see it does seem you appear pretty unwilling to talk before you act. No need to rush to delete...See what other people want, and if they want to keep it, then keep it. So far you seem to be the only person with a problem with it. Have you gone to any of the other college conference pages to remove their galleries? Maybe go ahead and try it and see the response you get there. If people decide to keep them off, we can keep it off. An actual answer to my questions would be appreciated. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 04:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Taking it to the Village Pump would be fine by me. In the mean time it might be better to add it back so it doesnt look like you are uninterested in discussion. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 04:11, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Human consumption of dog meat

I think that if there were enough information for an article like the one about Beef, it would make sense to do that and call it Dog meat (which would fit with other articles like Horse meat). I think that in order to be neutral we have to treat dog meat the same as pig meat and cow meat and so on... but I think the main part of the problem was solved by taking out the text that was there, which I honestly felt was quite bigoted. Just because our culture has a taboo against eating dog meat doesn't mean that people from cultures where eating dog meat is acceptable are cruel and heartless. - AdelaMae ^{(talk - contribs)} 06:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the page posing a problem to the Wikipedia site and many other people I asked don't mind having it up as a user Subpage. You claim as if the page is too vulger to be seen.

Whiner Line

Stop deleting the Whiner Line article. If you had waited 30 seconds it took to go back and re-edit the WEEI page, we wouldn't have this problem.

I disagree with saying that an article on the Whiner line is not meaningful enought to warrant an article. Next time you should do some research and find out that The Big Show is often the number 1 rated sports show in the nation and the whiner line is their most popular segment. I think that would make it notable. Zzz345zzz 07:09, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Again, this is another case of waiting more than 30 seconds before you jump to conclusions. I posted a link saying that even after the popularity of the show dropped during the jan-feb months (when the only sport was basketball) and still retained its number 1 ranking. I also don't understand how a show with millions of listeners is considered to be less notbale than such topics as 3 Arietis. Could you explain this to me?Zzz345zzz 07:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK daily may be hundred's of thousands. I still think you underestimate the popularity of the show. I think it is time you drop your vandetta against me and the the "stoopid" show. Also if you would answer my question about why this article is singled out when there are plenty of obscure content out there. Zzz345zzz 07:54, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so now its moved to a page about the show. You happy now? Why do you keep skirting the question about the star? Zzz345zzz 08:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I just feel that it is as least as notable. I am merely using this star article, which is a little more than a sentence by the way, as an example of content that nobody will really be searching for. If there is already a major article on WEEI, I feel that the shows should be mentioned.

Also another admin, User:Lucky 6.9, has backed me up in saying that this show should be mentioned so get off my case. Zzz345zzz 08:20, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Worn out

I'm going to have a good whinge here, I hope you don't mind. I'm starting to not have fun here. Like, really really starting to not have fun here.

Tony's character assassination on the ArbCom was pretty bad, and got me down. Knowing that nothing will happen to put even the slightest damper on him is worse. Seeing Snowspinner rabbit on about me trying to "ram through" consensus makes me sick.

I've always avoided the useless "inclutionist/deletionsist" labels. I start to feel, however, that those people who self-identify as inclusionist simply do not play fair. Does a higher calling give you the license to be dishonest? We're drowning in shit, and some people delight in piling more on.

I look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greeneyes and see that a few people waxing philisophical is enough to out-vote common sense and even the incredibly weak WP:WEB. Oh, wait I forgot that one of the "keep" guys just wrote in the phrase that would keep this comic in. He must have learned that from Snowspinner. Of course, I'm the one who needs to be banned from editing policy pages.

I'm worn out, and just wanted to say that I've always enjoyed seeing you around. So, see you around.

No Legal Threats exception

Whatever IP edited the Dershowitz page, if that IP also made legal threats or there's proof that the person who was editing made legal threats elsewhere, that IP probably should be blocked. If it's really Mr. Dershowitz, I doubt he cares. But of course, with Jimbo personally handling the issue nobody's likely to do that without his say-so, and I agree that that's a bit unfortunate for our policy.

The discussion is whether the currently-deleted history of Thomasine Church (a redirect) should be restored. The original AfD debate that deleted it did so because of verifiability and the request would restore that so-far unverifiable material. The request on DRV does not relate to the redirected-to article at all, only the deleted history of the redirect itself.

Howdy, Zoe. I noticed you've been editing anonymously lately. While I trust it's you, you may want to "validate" the anon's user space by adding a signed note there, just to make it obvious.

Anyway, the reason I came here: You asked Maoririder to stop filling up AfC with requests. While I agree that most of his requests are annoying, it might actually be better this way – we are warned which articles he has created/is planning on creating and nip them in the bud.

Can I get a better definition on what you call vandalism? I feel I have made a good faith effort to reword and present the essential information about the Wahine Volleyball program, in a neutral point of view, your lack of a 2nd warning, without clarifcation of what you mean makes me question your intentions for removing your information. I feel you are the vandal for removing information about Christanity and it's effects on the Wahine.

List of Scientology centers

(on User talk:Wikipediatrix:) My feeling is to create an article on every one of those centers and list them, instead of just the cities they're in. Like I said on the AfD page, the church lists you mentioned were lists of churches, not cities the churches are in. User:Zoe|^(talk) 03:34, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The article was borderline at best as was, but since it survived I've been busting arse to bring it up to a standard of being useful for something. What do you think of what I'm doing with it now? The detail is mindnumbing for anyone not already interested in the topic, but as what passes for an expert it's the sort of thing I'd find a wealth of useful detail. When it gets longer I'll probably break it up by continent (that being how the CoS internally organises them) - David Gerard 15:32, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image galleries

You recently commented at Wikipedia_talk:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Proposal_to_modify_WP:NOT_an_image_gallery. In a related development, another, in my mind, valuable Image gallery is up for deletion (AfD). Please comment as you see fit. Dsmdgold 15:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mulla Nasruddin

Thanks for letting me know, Zoe. He's been editing into Ari Ben-Menashe that I work for AIPAC: actually into the article, not just the talk page. [4] And deleting referenced information critical of Ben-Menashe. Seems to be his no. 1 fan. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 16:08, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

thoughts on the deletion process

Always interested in new insight surrounding wiki deletion process, I wonder if you have any reactions to my thoughts collected at user:here/delete ? Any response appreciated, feel free to respond here on your talk page. ∴ here…♠ 06:45, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I will oppose any deletion process which involves blanking of a page. That's vandalism. User:Zoe|^(talk) 02:48, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised to hear that. I would expect otherwise considering your tenure here dates back to a time when the deletion process was quite similar to that of which you now oppose. Perhaps you could expand on your experience? ∴ here…♠ 19:47, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Elyssa Rundle

Why did you remove the copyvio tag from the Elyssa Rundle article? User:Zoe|^(talk) 03:16, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, doing a bit of late-night RC patrolling and made a mistake. Dan100 (Talk) 08:34, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

You did some excellent work helping to keep Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedians for decency neutral.

Would you be willing to add the same insight to Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam:SIIEG ? --Victim of signature fascism vote for the arb com 17:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Article notability

From my RFA page:

Anything that would fit into any encyclopedia, of any sort, should be eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia, provided it's neutral. Cool. Let's start an Encyclopedia of Zoe's house, where I can photograph every square inch of it and prove that the doorknob on Zoe's back door really is tarnished, and a picture of my cat lying on his back and write an article on Zoe's cat's favorite sleeping positions. Zoe (216.234.130.130 23:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]

The problem with that proposal is that it's completely unverifiable without original research. Verifiability, in other words, covers most things deemed non-notable already. Otherwise, I would agree with you. —Simetrical (talk) 00:02, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with that proposal is that it's completely unverifiable without original research. Not at all. Like I said, I could take pictures and prove the doorknob is tarnished, I can take pictures of the cat in his favorite positions and extensively edit the article. I can invite a friend over to verify the information and put it up on his blog with pictures. That's your verifiability. User:Zoe|^(talk) 01:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

According to the standards I used in some of the AfDs . . . yes. Now that you point it out, and now that I've had time to consider, I have taken back some of those votes. Only reliable sources are acceptable, and your friend's blog is not reliable. If there was for some reason a newspaper article about your doorknob, or an Encylopædia Britannica article, or whatever, then it would be verifiable and suitable for inclusion if anyone could make an encyclopedia article out of the verifiable information (Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, of course). —Simetrical (talk) 05:52, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That misunderstands verifiability - where will these pictures and friend's testimony be stored? Somewhere reputable, and with a high probability of being around in ten years? Phil Sandifer 06:08, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Which misunderstands verifiability? I said that the pictures and blog are not good enough for WP:V unless put in a reliable source, and therefore Zoe's friend's blog wouldn't be good enough to allow him to add stuff about his doorknob or cat to Wikipedia. —Simetrical (talk) 03:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hence my replying to Zoe and not to you. :) Phil Sandifer 03:43, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attack

I regard the following as a pesonal attack by you:

I regard the following exchange as a personal attack by you:

Speedy keep Please read WP:BIO before nominating any further biographical articles. CalJW 02:41, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:Zoe|^(talk) 03:17, 18 December 2005 (UTC) It was intended as a sharp rebuke, and your response demonstrates that you deserved it. I hope you will now leave off, remembering that you started it. CalJW 03:23, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Removing maintained

Here and here you removed my additions of {{Maintained}} from article talk pages. Both have been reverted by another user. I find this inappropriate. First, unless Maintained is deleted, it seems reasonable for me to add it to other pages. If you think it shouldn't ever be used (as indicated in your edit summary) that should be addressed the TfD, not by removing otherwise legitimate uses of it. Second, the fact that there is an ongoing TfD which is current 30-12 in favor of keep suggests that your removal is an attempt to circumvent the consensus of the community. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 04:26, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Thanks for the tip. Did you need an afd to say just that? --Striver 04:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks

Do not personal attack people in talk pages. Your charge of article ownership is completely unfounded in factual evidence. --Stbalbach 23:24, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please

Please, try to be productive. Your actions are very counterproductive. If you are concerned about the template, simple leave a message at Template talk:Maintained explaining what is wrong with the wording, and, if possible, suggest alternate wordings that do not imply what you consider ownership. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2005-12-18 23:34

Interesting, considering that I state the exact opposite of your claims under the template's "Guidelines". — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2005-12-18 23:40
- Anyone who wants to know how to use the template will have to go to its talk page, where the guidelines are right at the top. And I have now placed these guidelines right on the template page. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2005-12-18 23:44
  - Alright, that's fine. Just add a clarification to the template. But your clarification was over the line. Give me 5 minutes. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2005-12-18 23:50
    - Done. Is that acceptable? — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2005-12-18 23:53

Please change to Keep if you think it has a chance in some form, not necessarily this form. I support the clarification, so, and will enforce it. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2005-12-18 23:56

Explain? in reference to Satanic ritual abuse

Zoe, would you like to explain to me how a summary of the findings of academic journal articles constitutes slander? Do you actually think that the article, as it stands, is an objective or factual account? Biaothanatoi 05:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't people add me to Wikipedia?

Zoe -

You probably don't know me from Adam. My name is Mark Pesce, and I'm the co-inventor of VRML (look it up) and a well known speaker about interactive & technology issues worldwide. I was recently a participant in an event in Melbourne with Amanda Beersley of your foundation. My five books have sold around 50,000 copies worldwide over the last decade. I'm on the TV weekly here in Australia.

yet, for some reason, when no fewer than 4 people have tried to create bio pages on me - even though I am referenced at least 3 times in the Wikipedia itself - they have been denied. The last time - just now - it was by you.

Could you please explain why?

cheers,

Mark Pesce
