Edmund

Thank you for all your help! It is an article we can all be proud of! -- SECisek 21:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Ironicly, I chased an anon. IP troll to the Edmund article last week, made an edit or two, got hooked, and here we are! A true Patron, indeed! -- SECisek 21:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I also would like to thank you for your assistance in the GA for the article. One of our anon friends is back (there were three at the last count) and as a person who has been caring for St Ed. for sometime I will rest a while. Look at the talk pages for a history if you wish, I have to admit I nearly lost it a couple of times. Now when it comes to Ipswich F.C.!? With Thanks --Edmund Patrick ( _work) 13:08, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

I'm perfectly chill. Just keeping spirits light. The Daddy has been stalking my edits for the past day, reverting changes in several articles he has no interest in simply because I've participated in them. Rather than screw with significant Misplaced Pages content like the Daddy does, I'm just having a little fun in a way that harms no one. Someday I do hope to achieve satori, when I'll feel no need to do anything at all. Until that blessed state comes to pass... Best, Dan.—DCGeist 21:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah right. I looked through the templates and thought those ones would probably be best try and persuade him to leave my userpage alone and my Wikiproject boxes (he vandalised my page by blanking one of the boxes of a project which I belong to). Would I need to have issued more warnings before going to the last one? - The Daddy 21:26, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

There is no reasoning with him it would seem, he has now followed me to Ezequiel Lavezzi's football article that I was working on, and he is moving youth club information into the senior club part of the infobox. Sad. - The Daddy 21:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. This is called giving the Daddy a taste of his own medicine, per the following message I just left with him:

===WP:STALK===

Li'l DyKy, given your concern with Wikistalking, allow me to point out these three edits to you, which constitute exactly that: , , . As the record clearly demonstrates, you have absolutely no interest in either perfect game or Joseph McCarthy, other than my participation in them. And, of course, your edit in the second of those summaries--"per concensus"--is not only misspelled, it's an obvious lie.

So, as Rambling Man suggests, let's try to get some positivity here. Obviously, we have to begin with you apologizing for instigating the negativity with your stalking and that deceptive edit summary. I'm all ears...—DCGeist 21:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

It's a shame that all this has made the Daddy sad. Maybe the Daddy should stop behaving like such a bad little boy.—DCGeist 21:56, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Britney Spears article

Thanks for your initial review of the Britney Spears article! I would love to hear advice from you on how to improve the article to FA standards. Thanks again. Oidia (talk) 05:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

No probs. You know, it doesn't really even look like a fish. Maybe some primal flipper thing. "Bloop". Look at that vacant stare, and those beady eyes. Dfrg.msc 07:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

*Cough* --DarkFalls 07:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh

Beat ya to it :) - Alison ☺ 11:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, well you should be working or something!! ;p The Rambling Man 11:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Sleeping! It's 5am :) - Alison ☺ 11:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I thought you Apple folks weren't sleeping until Leopard was unleashed?!! The Rambling Man 11:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Rowwwr. Squish them bugz! Won't be long now, from all account. I have it running here & it seriously slick. Loadsa new changes that didn't make the last seed build, so nobody's seen 'em. Tons of cool :) - Alison ☺ 12:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Claudius of Turin

Ready for a second round of suggetions. All initial problem fixed. -- SECisek 12:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Ready for a final round of suggetions. All secondary problem fixed. -- SECisek 12:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

BTW, I have not yet looked at Edmund, but another editor informed me that an anon., single purpose, IP belonging to a troll ran wild right after the GA pass. I'll take a look, but I do not want to feed him anything. Hopefully there are some personal attacks on the talk page and we can take action. Ah, the perils of recognition! -- SECisek 12:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you again for your help and suggestions. Any chance of you reviewing Peter of Bruys, which would catch up my back log of GAs and would free me to work other aticles up to GA standard? It is short, simmilar to Claudius, and I have already made changes that you suggested for Edmund and Claudius. Thanks again and it has been a pleasure working with you. -- SECisek 13:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing, I've reserved it already for review, should have first run at it done by this evening. The Rambling Man 13:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Pubic hair

Hi TRM - I am having an issue with User:Nandesuka once again. Consensus went against my photo at glans penis, which is fine, but it is a completely different story at pubic hair. Generally the argument that sexual acts are illustrated, but the body is photographed has won the day on various articles; hence my series of photos of the body (which is only an exceptionally small part of my portfolio). On pubic hair my photo replaced a bizarre and oddly colored male photo to compliment the current female photo. It was discussed on the Talk page, and consensus was reached. Now, two months later, Nandesuka wants the photo down, not replaced. He is currently edit warring, and trying to intone the lame argument that I should "butt out" since I have a COI (an argument that has never held any water, and is typically used so that an editor gets his way). The photo is --once again-- being discussed. Right now we have Nandesuka, who is against it, Geogre, who wants no photographs, only paintings, me, who wants the photo, and Nick Michael, who in the previous consensus voted for the photo. He has been adding witty remarks to the discussion for now, but since he previously voted to include the photo I feel somewhat safe in saying he is not against its inclusion. Based on that, Nandesuka is trying to take the photo down saying that consensus has been reached against the photo. This is admin behavior? Could you provide any assistance? --David Shankbone 14:42, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

While you're helping resolve this conflict I'll stay well out of your hair. <ahem> --Dweller 14:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

The situation wouldn't be so hairy if we didn't have an admin running amok, disregarding the twists and kinks of the discussion for his own clipped POV. --David Shankbone 15:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll have a look to see what I can do shortly. These pages are a bit unsafe at work...! The Rambling Man 15:06, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

SS Suevic

Thanks for taking the time to do the GA review of this article! I've tried to address all your concerns, and have noted how each was addressed on the article's talk page. If there's more, or if any of them haven't been resolved to your satisfaction, please let me know and I'll do what needs to be done. Thanks again! AKRadecki 02:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi. I just wanted to thank you for reverting User:Whitmorewolveyr's page move of Milan Central station to Milano Centrale station as I just realised that he wasn't an admin, moved the page with no discussion and moved by cutting and pasting and I didn't know what to do. Tbo talk 10:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I think 31 hours is exceedingly lenient. If he returns disruptively, I'll indefblock and seek a community ban. --Dweller 10:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Peter of Bruys

Ready for another round! -- SECisek 19:19, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, yes. Sorry, but I figured out how to expand the Peter the Venerable list after I message you. So added it all last minute. Good to go. -- SECisek 20:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I think we are there, anything else? -- SECisek 20:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Peter of Bruys

Thanks for taking the GA review for this - I had promised the nominator that I'd look at this next, but got unexpectedly landed with a short-notice project at work and didn't get round to it until today... by which time you'd already done the business. Good job ;) EyeSerene 20:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Enjoy your holiday. I look forward to working with you to improve other articles in the future. -- SECisek 21:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

@ Secisek and The Rambling Man

Ditto the above. BTW:

• "hopefully I'm not making too many mistakes"

Maybe we should adopt that as the GA reviewers' motto? It seems highly appropriate...

• "Big Pete de B": redirect page needed?

EyeSerene 21:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm finding GAC a really interesting area; I knew almost nothing about most of the article subjects I've reviewed. As you say though, the criteria are fairly objective so it isn't a problem, and from what I've seen of different reviewers most of us are pulling in the same direction! EyeSerene 21:34, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Revert

Sorry about my quick revert. I guess I thought it was vandalism at first glance. However, I don't need four people telling me about it on my talk page. In addition, as far as I can tell, I have not made many other errors using Twinkle. — Super-Magician 21:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I accidentally inserted the template without thinking. Again, that was my mistake, and I apologize. — Super-Magician 21:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Perdon? I didn't think he was attacking me. (Or were you referring to Super-Magician?) Me confuses. D: -WarthogDemon 21:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
