Reality has become a commodity. | |||
It wasn't a 'message' that I removed from your talk page. It was just a slogan that the IP had been slapping on pages willy-nilly in article space, article talk space, and – for no apparent reason – your talk page. | |||
You are part of the problem, not the solution. | |||
I wouldn't remove anything that resembled a message to you from your talk page. I was just rolling back the spamming. ](]) 05:01, 30 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

Ketuanan Melayu
Hey, sorry for not getting back to you about your email earlier. I was caught up in real life issues and other stuff on WP, so I filed your email away and forgot about it. Just thought I'd let you know that I have been doing some cutting and pruning, but I'm still not able to make any headway WRT summary style. I still can't see how to effectively do it without harming either the narrative flow of the article or the article's neutrality. A version which could do both would probably omit a significant amount of detail, harming the article's comprehensiveness. I've already junked a lot of extraneous material which I was doubtful about, and tightened up the writing. Maybe you could give it a look again, and suggest more ways to cut it down, or an approach to summary style I haven't thought of? Johnleemk | Talk 21:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. I agree, but fortunately I did find some redundant quotations and unnecessary verbosity that could be cut without harming comprehensiveness or flow. The article's just over 100kb now, and much of that is citations and the bibliography. Johnleemk | Talk 20:26, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Requesting your opinion
I wrote the article Dr. Jose Celso Barbosa Post Office Building Designation Act, the first bill in history that contains an article from Misplaced Pages. It appeared on DYK and right away somebody "tags" it for deletion. I inviteyou to express yourself here:Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Dr. Jose Celso Barbosa Post Office Building Designation Act. Thank you Tony the Marine 16:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Canute the Great
Any chance you could help with this article? It has long been something of a mess and now it has just been rewritten to be considerably more of a mess. Haukur 21:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Re: Upset
I nominated the article for deletion because the song wasn't released as a single and the information about it was present on the I Am Me article. If you want me to, I'll consider nominating it for undeletion soon (though not now - I'm at the library and it's about to close). Extraordinary Machine 14:51, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I've listed it at deletion review. Extraordinary Machine 20:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

that's a really stupid idea for Misplaced Pages that they had with the having to approve every edit first. hope it doesn't happen
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Winnie The Pooh (Disney)
Um, did you know that discussion closed over five months ago? Powers 13:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

A Northumbrian miscellany
As you've contributed greatly to whatever is good in the various articles on Anglo-Saxon Northumbria, I'd like to solicit your opinion on a few issues.
- Edwin of Northumbria or Edwin of Deira ? I'd go with the second, which seems to be much more common, and probably more accurate.
- Viking-Age and Late Anglo-Saxon Earls of Bernicia naming. These are Osulf I of Northumbria, Uchtred the Bold, Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria (that was me), Osulf II of Northumbria, Waltheof of Bernicia Eadulf I of Bernicia, Eadulf III of Bernicia and Ealdred I of Bernicia. I don't like "of Northumbria" or "of Bernicia", because that's what's used for kings. Do you think "of Bamburgh" would be ok for that family, or should be just use "X, Earl of Y" ?
- Lastly, it's been suggested that Æthelthryth, the first Mrs Ecgfrith of Northumbria, is better known as Etheldreda. I can't see it myself, but if you have any thoughts on it please leave a note at Talk:Æthelthryth.
Thanks in advance and best wishes ! Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Edit war
Hi Everyking. Could you please (if you are able and have the time) pop along to Talk:Transphobia to help settle a dispute over the same edit over and over. I'm attempting to clean up the article, but it's pointless trying to do so while somebody is more concerned with inserting one paragraph of opinion than they are with the article itself. The sooner the dispute can be resolved one way or the other, the better. Kind regards, Crimsone 14:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
User:OwenX placed a warning on the users talk page last night for the vandalism, and still 220.1.234.8 is persisting at making these edits. Any help would be appreciated, as my small amount of time on wiki continues to be eaten up by this issue rather than in actually getting on with the editing and improving I come here to enjoy. Kind Regards, Crimsone 15:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I have no interest in going through the user set up there, but I read it and can't stand watching themselves get into a flurry. The diff is in the first paragraph and it's nothing more than personal information of the sort prohibited by WP:BIO. Bastique▼ voir 20:18, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Desysopped
You have been emergency desysopped by the decision of the Arbitration Committee for offering to post deleted content publicly. As an administrator, we expect you to know better than to ever do something as inappropriate as that. Please see Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Everyking_desysopped for more information.

I regret that you have been desysopped. I believe you meant well. DS 18:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Let me get this straight: You were desysopped, not for making deleted content available, but for talking about it? I'm stunned. Sadly, I had more to say about this, but I'm probably already on thin ice for merely reading your talk page. --Kbdank71 20:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I can't see any valid reason for you to be have been desysopped (sp?). For what it's worth, if you choose to run again, you've got my support. Badbilltucker 21:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- According to my knowledge, all you did was post something that got deleted from Misplaced Pages somewhere else. Last I checked, there's nothing wrong with that. I'll support readmining you. Sir Crazyswordsman 01:53, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, no, I didn't do that: I suggested I might post some deleted content on a forum but then decided not to. I was desysopped just for making the suggestion. Everyking 04:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Which is even worse. Honestly, you're one of the better admins around, one who does things that he thinks are for the better of the project at all times rather than what the Cabal says you have to do. Sir Crazyswordsman 04:46, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

You have my support too, even if I haven't known you before. ArbCom took a few steps too far and as a matter of fairness and honesty, this desysop must be undone. --OrbitOne 13:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Mine too --Oblivious 19:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I have been on holiday and I read the report in the Signpost just now. This is outrageous. You have my support. I will watch for your renomination if this absurdity isn't overturned at some other level (I regret to say that it doesn't look like it will). — mark ✎ 18:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
If the reason for desysopping is just what was stated on yesterday's RfA then the witches got more mercy before inquisition court than you before ArbCom. Pavel Vozenilek 23:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- This is ridiculous, and something ArbCom should be ashamed of IMO. — Deckiller 17:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, there it is! :) Good luck with the questions. Haukur 21:47, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Damn, I was hoping to be the first to offer to renominate; I'll have to settle, I suppose, for trying to beat Haukur, et al., for the first support... Joe 01:43, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've never spoken to you before, but I was always a fan of your administrative actions. I'm sorry for my oppose on your RfA, which is purely based on reasons of time. Take care -- Samir धर्म 09:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- You'd have gotten my support, mate - as far as I can see your administrive actions were without fault. CharonX/talk 00:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Closed early? I thought it was to run until the 14th. --OrbitOne 05:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Count me in as on of those folks who believed you should have been resysopped as soon as the "emergency" had passed. I thought permanent desysopping required some sort of process. From an optics point of view, it just seems like they used this "emergency desysop" to get you desysopped quickly and to sidestep the process it takes to normally get someone permanently desysopped. I don't know if that's their intentions, but that's what it looks like from the outside. --Deathphoenix ʕ 20:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Ethelweard/Ælfweard
First off, sorry about your RfA. I'd have certainly supported it if I'd been aware that it was up. Next time give me a yell ! Anyway, I'm looking for input on where to move Ethelweard (son of Edward the Elder) to. John Kenney suggested Ælfweard of Wessex, which seems fair enough. If you have any thoughts, let us know at Talk:Ethelweard. Cheers ! Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
He forgot to say "nya nya"
Sad, isn't it? --Kbdank71 20:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not so much "nya nya" as "why do you keep saying I wasn't empowered to do something when I clearly was?" I find this continual head-banging against the stark, cold facts ofthe matter absolutely impossible to understand. --Tony Sidaway 20:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? --Kbdank71 20:42, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Ali Abdullah Saleh
You made some great edits to Ali Abdullah Saleh. Yesterday I took content from the references you provided and expanded a little. I hope this is to your liking. Regards, EFG 20:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Re: About sources
If I remove uncited information, then there's motivation for users who added the info, or who wish to keep it in the article, to look for sources. In most cases, simply adding {{fact}} and {{unreferenced}} tags (which are often removed without explanation) doesn't have the same effect. When I know who added the content to the article, I leave them a message on their talk page asking for sources. Sometimes I do look for sources (usually when I think the info is useful), sometimes I don't (usually when the info is blatantly false, unverifiable or, in my opinion, unnecessary), sometimes I move it to the talk page instead of removing it completely, sometimes I add tags.

Talk:Arnold Rüütel
Hi, I'm fed up with User:Clossius disruptive behaviour and indulging in personal attacks (see my entry there with diffs), rather than elucidating what does he exactly regard as shortcomings of the article. I've tagged his talk page with NPAs , but he keeps removing these (calling my actions 'vandalism' or 'hooliganism'). Could you suggest anything on comment on the issue?Constanz - Talk 06:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, I'd be interested in suggestions and comments also, and I am likewise fed up. I've suggested cooperation, as well as conflict resolution, and I honestly think that the attacks have come from User:Constanz first.
- I indeed changed the wordding of Arnold Rüütel and continued with contributions. I've given the diffs on talk:Arnold Rüütel, which probably show where the attacks came from.--Constanz - Talk 06:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with this for once :-) - I also admit that I've pretty much stopped editing this article or almost any other until this is somehow solved, because it's not fun working on Misplaced Pages under these conditions. Clossius 06:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- I indeed changed the wordding of Arnold Rüütel and continued with contributions. I've given the diffs on talk:Arnold Rüütel, which probably show where the attacks came from.--Constanz - Talk 06:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- I have no ownership of Arnold Rüütel, I just asked to have it balanced and what seemed to me old party-political campaign material shortened (not removed), and I did this in a concrete and careful (not wholesale) way, as the history shows. Since I genuinely think the NPA labels were put on my discussion space by User:Constanz in order to harrass - especially after I had said that I did not wish to communicate with him anymore at all, or fight -, and since he is not an admin, I think I may remove them. If that's not the case, I won't, of course. I would be more than happy to stop any form of discourse with Constanz, because I am really sick and tired of being harrassed, and I would be happy about any suggestion of how this could be achieved. Clossius 06:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Cassieiswatching
The article had a disturbing level of coverage given that the only reliable source that exists is a footnote mention in a NYT article; it was clearly WP:OR. Oddly, despite all the votes, only David Schaich mentioned this in the debate, and though someone on the keep side did say the article was sourced, it is sourced extremely weakly, and from primary sources, and goes way, way beyond them. But the vote tally does matter because notability is a prime issue here. It looked to me like there were new voters on both sides, but even counting every comment, I came up with 19-14. So that's the gauge of opinion. And as always, new voters get drawn in more to support keeping an article than deleting it. Mangojuice 12:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- If I had to nail down specific votes I would ignore, they would be all the IP votes (3 keep), Vanillaflava (delete), Ravensgrace (keep), RichardAdams (keep), and the two votes that remain unsigned (1 of each), which leaves 17-8 in favor of deletion. Like I said, anon or new voters heavily favor keep votes. Even with attention from such voters, the vote was significantly in favor of deleting. But it's not a vote anyway. And BTW, "no consensus" closes are bad for Misplaced Pages, and I would generally try to avoid them, especially when there has been a lot of participation. Mangojuice 12:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- And by the way, 2/3 majority? I would look for that I suppose in a debate with very low participation. But if 50 (legit) "votes" were case in an AfD, and it split 27 to 23, I would take that as a clear mandate towards the 27. When you've got a large sample, you don't need such a huge margin of error. Mangojuice 12:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- To me, certain comments can win a debate all by themselves: if 30 people say "keep" and one says "copyvio," and they're right, then copyvio it is. Unaddressed concerns about WP:V or WP:OR are like that too. When you have to go by a vote count, I like to have a substantial majority, but 2/3 is a little much when you have 10 votes or more. To me, the more participation a debate has, it should be more likely produce an outcome, not less likely. In my opinion, what you're looking for is which way the majority of WP leans; not which way the 2/3 majority leans if there is one. You want to have 2/3 majority in small debates because the margin of error is relatively high, but as you get a bigger sample, you don't need such a big grey area. Mangojuice 13:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

You will need to contribute an article called List of Popples episodes, which has episodes of Popples. --PJ Pete
The reason is, there should also be articles about the episodes of Popples, like People Panic at the Library, Treasure of Popple Beach, Poppin' At the Car Wash, and Backyard Adventure. --PJ Pete
1956 Hungarian Revolution
Hi Everyking, we've done a lot of work on the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 in the last few days, cleaning up POV, more citations etc. Would you mind taking another look at it and see if maybe now it warrants a support vote (or at least a neutral) on FAC?

Hi, I recall that you contributed to the FAC discussion for the article on Felice Beato that I nominated some time ago, and I'm wondering if you now wouldn't mind checking out the Pierre Rossier article (on another 19th century photographer in Asia), which is a FAC? It's been languishing on the FAC page for several weeks and has four "support" votes (with none opposed). Thanks for your help! Pinkville 02:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Jessica Simpson article
Alright, there's a disagreement with the users over the Jessica Simpson article and we need an administrator or someone who's clear on the subject to help dissolve the disagreement and I was wondering if you could help us?
The problem is on whether or not Jessica Simpson's current album, A Public Affair, is a RIAA GOLD certified album if it's only sold 235,000 copies. On the RIAA page, it specifically says and album receives a "Gold® album award for the sale of 500,000 copies." Which her album has not, but User:68.44.16.135 is arguing that "the album's SHIPMENTS surpass 500,000 copies, and that's why it was certfied gold, go to the RIAA page and search, it appears as certified gold." However, I checked on the RIAA page and searched for A Public Affair's stats and it's not even listed on the RIAA page, it's not even mentioned to have a gold certification on Jessica's website, so I don't understand how it's a GOLD certified album when both Jessica and RIAA's webpage say it's not. Even on her fansite it says the album's not certified as it's sales are only 235,000 copies, so I really hope you can help clear up the disagreement.

Request for assistance
Hello! I am interesting in finding more information regarding the notability and chart listings for the song On the Way to Cape May, which was prodded, deprodded, yet with the notability tag still on it. By my understanding of WP:MUSIC suggests we need better documentation. It's locally very popular or at least well-known, but very difficult to find documentation online.. I tried a list of chart-toppers of Cashbox's, but the site I found only listed the #1 for each week. Any help or direction you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Your vote
Hi Everyking :-) Are there any issues that we might discuss that would help you to put your trust in me? I value community feedback about issues including the election. Take care, --FloNight 11:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Moved from my talk page:
- People associate you with SlimVirgin, which is alarming based on how she has treated me in the past, and therefore the vote is just a matter of self-preservation. Everyking 11:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply Everyking. I appreciate your honest answer. It is very helpful feedback. All I can say is that I promise to not let any Wikipedian influence my decisions as an arbitrator. To carefully consider the evidence in each case and apply policy as appropriate. If you look at my work as a clerk and my comments left on workshop pages, you will see that my thoughts are not biased for or against any indiviual or subject area but based on policy. If you're interested we can discuss this further. If not, that is okay also. Take care, --FloNight 11:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Main Page featured article protection
Talk has resumed about what to do with this policy. Thought I would let you know as it has kinda went into a standstill (nobody really saying much) over the last few days. —— Eagle 101 09:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Commenting
Dear respected fellow editor,
"Commenting alone is not a reason to block someone." That's right, assuming that the comments are not personal attacks (even then it's iffy) and assuming no previous history. In your case there was a significant previous history including a remedy that limited your freedom to comment on the actions of admins. Disrupting the project certainly is a valid reason for blocking.
If I may further expound, when I blocked you it was an unusual action for me in several respects. I haven't usually become involved in controversial blocks. I saw an editor, an ArbCom member, requesting a block be placed on you and I figured that since I was a neutral admin I'd handle it. I checked the case and it seemed correct so I placed the block. To my surprise the requesting editor then unblocked after a private conversation with you. That's one of the only times I've ever had an admin action overturned and I was chagrined. I confronted the editor about it and he issued a public apology for reversing my block without prior consultation with me. Though it wasn't my idea, I do think that a week away from Misplaced Pages would have been helpful for you in the circumstance. Time away from Misplaced Pages is a major remedy that all of us should avail ourselves of when the time is right. Unfortunately, some us of who most need a break avoid taking it.
You know I've always appreciated your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I tried to help manage the NPOV on the AS/SNL matter. I've barnstarred you for your numerous minor corrections. But the bottom line for the project is that even the most useful contributor can become so disruptive that they must be constrained or guided. If we're thrashing around then we're just getting wet. If we're all rowing together then we can move forward.

Feliz Navidad
O.K., so maybe you don't believe in Santa, but I still want to wish you and your loved ones a "Happy Holidays" and all of the happiness in the world and the best new year ever. Your friend, Tony the Marine 23:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
My record may or may not speak for me, but for the love of Mike, why?
Look, I am the last person that will get into an edit war with anyone, really. I just won't do it, under any provocation. Just tell me once (and that is all it will take, no matter how inane or irrelevant the answer, I still won't get into an argument over the matter) what exactly is the problem you have with Ashlee Simpsons clothing being described as "faux punk" instead of "punk"? I honestly am curious what you could possibly have against that *added* specification. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 20:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
In answer to your responce to the above. I will just ask why you would think plainly referring to Ashlees clothing as merely plain good old "punk" would be _accurate_, never mind NPOV. But your point of people trying to pigeonhole her and her musical styles specifically, is well taken. I definitely wasn't trying to define her in ways that would go beyond the facts, believe me. But basic accuracy in this case is problematic. Perhaps there is a better word than "faux" to indicate, that Ashlees aquaintance with punk is at best fleeting, and definitely, I would assume she would agree, somewhat tongue in cheek. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 05:47, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Even though I disagree with your approach, I think that was very fairly phrased. I will try a very light adjustment to the statement about Ashlees clothing, just in the interest of clarifying. Honestly I am not trying to denigrate that style of clothing, but to describe it in a way that is not misleading. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 09:54, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Is that fine by you? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 10:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Happy New Year
Happy New Year from Tony the Marine 02:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I wish you and your loved ones all the happiness in the world this coming year.
Help needed
Happy New Year, James! By the way, I recall you've been an active editor on Saddam Hussein. As you can imagine, the page is turning into an utter mess, with the article suffering heavy traffic from users who think they know a lot more about Iraqi history than they really do. If you can help monitor the recent changes, your help will be quite useful. 172 | Talk 05:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Epeli Nailatikau
Well its the Intro that the people are going to read so its better if it is Mentioned there because people usually only read the intro and if the word Interim is missing then it might seeem like that it is the democratically-Elected Government.I'am from Fiji so I know what Iam talking about.It would be good if you moved the reference to the intro-section to avoid misunderstanding in the future by other Editors..Thanx..ø~Cometstyles~ø
Rhode Island Monthly
I noted that you found a typo in my Rhode Island Monthly article. After writing an article like that, it always makes me smile to see someone besides a bot has paid a visit. House of Scandal 11:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

"Excuse"
How incredibly rude. If you had posted that in the beginning then there would not have been a problem. Instead you chose to attack me for two minor changes. KazakhPol 23:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Discussion moved from WPT:RFAR
- The ArbCom definitely has problems responding to people. Most of the arbitrators won't respond to my e-mails, either. Everyking 08:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have always made the effort to respond to every email that I receive; if you did not receive a response, I apologize - I will openly admit that sometimes emails do slip through the cracks, although I hope such occasions are rare. (In other words, I move on to reading other emails and will inadvertantly not respond to something after putting it aside for further consideration.) Please take my sincerest apologies for not replying back, and let me know if there is anything I can do for you at this point. Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- (Looking at your email from last week now, I do recall reading through it carefully, and I gave it full consideration. However, given that no request or question was asked, the email being mostly your thoughts, I didn't feel the need to respond or reply at the time. Thanks for your understanding. Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC))
I would like to make it very clear, Everyking, that I have spent a disproportionate amount of time reviewing your emails to us and posts to WP:RFAR, and have made a considered decision to decline your appeal. I consider my decision on this matter final, and as such, am unlikely to reply to any further emails or posts from you on this same topic. Please be aware that we are constantly being petitioned, individually and as a group, and have no interest in repeating our responses to matters we have already reviewed and commented upon. Our first response in such matters discharges our duty and responsibility to the community and to individual users. There is not, and should not be, any obligation for us to engage in endless dialog with users who are the subjects of remedies we have issued. I would like to note that the off-topic, sniping criticism above is exactly the sort of thing that has made the committee so frustrated with you in the past.
