I have made some more comments on the talk page of the Crews article. I think that you, and DGG, ought to respond to them. DGG made a mistake in saying that I had placed negative comments about someone sourced only to blogs; this was not the case. I have made some comments about this on my talk page.

I most certainly have not arrived here from Stormfront, good God. No, this is an account which is somewhere between 3 and 4 on the list of valid reasons for sock accounts -- and hence providing a clear link between the accounts would totally defeat the purpose of them. As it happens, my old account has not made an edit in quite some time, so this is the only account I am using at the moment. The reason for it is simply because my old account is very easily linkable to my IRL identity, and frankly this topic is so ridiculously over-politicised -- both ways -- that I would rather avoid problems before they start. I'm quite happy for someone trusted, like Thatcher, to run a checkuser on me to establish that I am not a sock of any other editors of these topics (evidently those sorts of voluntary checkusers are frowned upon, but the offer stands).

My reason for drawing attention to this at all is that this account is new, and yet would appear to be blessed with an uncanny understanding of Misplaced Pages process/policy, etc. for such a new one...I know enough about Misplaced Pages as well to understand that that would arouse suspicion, so I reckoned that a full disclosure right from the beginning would be a good policy; if I were a newly canvassed meat-puppet from some Nazi forum, as you suggest might be a possibility, then I would say it would be unlikely that I would be as familiar with Misplaced Pages as it should be obvious I am. --Plusdown (talk) 00:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I mean no disrespect by what I said Plusdown and I do AGF towards you. In regard to RFCU thsi kind of check cannot be done. I also understand your wish for privacy and it is 100% legitimate (especially in regard to this topic). Again I understand why you would not link you accounts but such links or some kind of confidential verification is recommended for alternative accounts but not demanded--Cailil 00:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

My old account is so outdated that a checkuser would come back as saying that only this account is active on my current IP anyway. It isn't even really a 'sockpuppet' account anyway, but since I did quite a bit of editing before, I felt it would be right to point out that I am not a 'newbie'.

So the 'sinister' options here are

1. I am a sockpuppet of another current editor on these articles. If things get really nasty, a checkuser could easily clear that up, at least. OR
2. I am a meatpuppet with no prior contribution history here on Misplaced Pages -- perhaps, but unlikely given that we are having this conversation in these terms.

I really don't care, actually. Unless I do something that gets me into serious trouble, there is no good reason why this should be problematic. On the contrary, I would have thought that being honest and straightforward about it on my userpage would be a good thing. Maybe I should have just left an ominous red link... --Plusdown (talk) 00:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Plusdown, I am merely pointing out what is on WP:SOCK. I'm not accusing you of anything. As I said I am AGFing in regard to you--Cailil 00:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem, then :P --Plusdown (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 01:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

AN/I

Thanks for the heads up. BTW, how did you figure I liked lolcats?--Ramdrake (talk) 00:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah the user-boxes give you away - also I love the things myself :)--Cailil 01:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

RE the StormFront sockpuppets/meatpuppets thing

Would appreciate a note on my talk page if anything happens with it now that you have reported it to the admins. Tundrabuggy (talk) 13:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Theatre June 2008 Newsletter

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter (June 2008)

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter! Issue 4 - June, 2008 Collaboration of The Month Yet again this month's COTM has remained unchanged as no-one has nominated any articles to become the new incumbent. Please can someone get down to the COTM page and nominate an article for next month! Assessment The ongoing task of assesing the articles at the Assessment page continues - if you're feeling a little lost and don't know where to begin to help us out, head on down to the Assessment page and give us a hand. New members The past month has seen Canadian Scouter, Carole Higgins, Gonzalo84 and Kiwiboy121 join us - welcome to you all! If you've been editing a theatre-related article recently and noticed another user helping you who also appears to have an interest for the subject of theatre, why not drop them a line and invite them over to the project? HELP! As mentioned in previous newsletters, we're crying out for people to help us out wherever possible. We are currently looking for members to volunteer to give us a hand in several areas. If you can do any of the following, please drop us a line at the talk page: Newsletter Editor(s) - Always fancied yourself as a bit of a journalist? Perhaps you could help us write this newsletter - it doesn't take long to compile. Maybe you'd like to help but can't commit on a regular basis? In that case, why not rally round a few other members of the project to help you out and take it in turns each month to compose the newsletter? Mailmen/women - If writing the newsletter isn't your bag then maybe you could help in the distribution of this fine document? As our membership grows it becomes quite laborious to send it to everyone. It's only a quick task that needs doing once a month, and really is just a case of copying and pasting a template onto our members talk pages. Portal editor(s) - It's come to our attention that the Theatre Portal hasn't been updated in a long time and we'd like to get someone, or a group of people to take charge of it and get it up to the standard of some of the great portals out there (e.g. the Comedy Portal, the Solar System Portal etc). And finally... Don't forget to add the WikiProject Theatre userbox to your userpage to spread the word about the project! You have received this newsletter because your name is on the list of Participants on the WikiProject page. If this information is out of date and you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, please remove your name from the Participants list and also click here to stop receiving the newsletter.

If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let us know on the talk page.

Adminship?

Would you like to be nominated for adminship? You see to have avoided it somehow, but you've now been cornered. Jehochman 13:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I suppose it's not a big deal but I'd like to think about it for a day or two. Poke me on Friday if I haven't replied--Cailil 13:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
