Hello. I've recently re-nominated Plymouth Argyle F.C. Player of the Year as a Featured List candidate and wondered if you would take a look, since you were involved in its previous nomination? I've spent plenty of time improving it so that reliable sources isn't an issue any more. Cheers. Argyle 4 Life 20:20, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Would love to. Give me a day or so? I'm already leaning towards support based on my last vote but want to make sure I cover everything. I'll make a comment now and follow up.Cptnono (talk) 05:17, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate the feedback. I did the best I could when describing Mariner's 1970s mullet. Argyle 4 Life 22:28, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

If you don't think the article should be deleted, perhaps you should mention that on the nomination page. – PeeJay 06:12, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Pending changes/Vote comment

As you commented in the pending closure discussion I am notifying you that the Misplaced Pages:Pending changes/Vote comment is now open and will be for two weeks, discussion as required can continue on the talkpage. Thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 00:08, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Human rights in Saudi Arabia

Thanks for your edit to that article. "Perceived" was definately not the best word to use, and I don't want you to think that I'm sympathetic to the Saudi government. As neutrality is of the highest importance to an encyclopedia, what I was trying to convey is that what is "perceived" as gross violations of rights by most people, is indeed considered normal to the Saudi government. Women and gays do not have the rights that they certainly deserve in Saudi Arabia. However, to the Saudi government, womens' rights, and the very existence of homosexuals is considered an affrontery. I was trying to bring a bit of balance to the article. I thought that you may have some ideas, as far as this is concerned. Best wishes! 2tuntony (talk) 22:02, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Thanks :) How have you been? Aaroncrick 23:18, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

My real life has been a little off lately so I am spending less time on Misplaced Pages. Probably for the best! I mentioned the RfA since you used to screw around from what it looks like but have focused on doing some quality work and come across as a more than decent dude. Consider it in the future. I am sure others feel the same way.Cptnono (talk) 23:22, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Yeah, same. Haven't been on here much over the past few months. Real life sometimes gets in the way, aye. Aaroncrick 23:25, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Recent Edits

My grandmother always told me, "You will catch more flies with honey than vinegar." I would suggest a less haughty tone in your messages. Kaihoku (talk) 19:09, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I would suggest not reading them that way then since they were not meant to be. And try following the guidelines while you are editing, too.Cptnono (talk) 20:22, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for the bling. I'm still frustrated that this didn't meet fair-use requirements/practices. I'm surprised (and very happy) that the marketing director I contacted was so quick to respond and give permission. In the end, I'm just glad that the articles are still as high quality as they were a week ago. --SkotyWA_C 03:54, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, if we beat Chivas then I totally want to nominate the 2009 final article for TFA on the day of the final this year. It'll be the 1-year aniversary (1-year plus actually) of the event. What do you think of the odds of successfully getting that to happen are? --SkotyWA_C 04:02, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Against Pending Changes

Add this userbox to your userpage to advertise your opposition to WP:Pending Changes, and tell 10 like-minded users to do the same and vote!--Gniniv (talk) 07:20, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Loanshark (film) JPG page

Hi...It's been a while. I finally added the Loanshark (film) article. When I filled out the jpeg info and uploaded the poster image, I received a warning pop-up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Loanshark_poster.jpg. Is it too big, too what?. Can you take a look and fix this up for me? I'm not sure how to fix this myself. Also, a little further down the same page under "File History", the "Comments" box was supposed to read: "This is the movie poster". Instead it somehow added the entire "Summary" description which is way too long. Can you take a look and clean that up for me? I tried but can't figure it out. Much appreciated. Thanks! Timemachine1967 (talk) 03:28, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Looks like Sreejithk2000 already resized the photo for me and took care of the File History/Comment issue as well. Timemachine1967 (talk) 07:11, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Apologies for the delay on that!Cptnono (talk) 07:13, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

I assumed Austria. Regardless, am reporting you as a troll and having your edits reverted. If you really want to get stuff fixed you need to follow the rules. Being mad about Israelis isn;t going to do much.Cptnono (talk) 08:01, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, I´m not a troll and not mad about them. However Misplaced Pages is suspiciously ignoring the reality. --213.33.31.120 (talk) 08:04, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Well you have your chance to defend your edits on the talk page before I finish filing the report. Read the link on verifiability and let us know exactly why your edits are valid with sources backing them up and there is a sliver of a chance that they will stand.Cptnono (talk) 08:11, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Can you please sign your TP post at Beck. Thanks. -- (talk) 20:35, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Stalking me

Why you stalk me without saying hi? If you are curious then ask, don't be a creep :P LibiBamizrach (talk) 22:49, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh LOL. "Stalking" was meant to be tongue in cheek. I did check out your edits out of curiosity but I wasn't doing it for any malicious purposes.Cptnono (talk) 22:53, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

ok, no i did not think you did for any bad reason. just saying next time you can say hi! LibiBamizrach (talk) 22:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Well "Hi!" then. I hope you enjoy editing. Nableezy often (annoyingly) accuses new users of being socks so don't take it too hard.Cptnono (talk) 22:57, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Falafel

Falafel and neutral view point? Falafel is a dish from the levant, more specifically Palestine. How can it be a traditional dish of Eastern European Jews who migrated to Palestine? I think it's you who has a biased viewpoint. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.232.149 (talk) 02:33, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:31, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for conceding a point. That's hard to do in the midst of a vigorous debate. Thanks for thinking my Pollyanna reference was amusing. Thanks for caring. Cullen328 (talk) 07:06, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Your Pollyanna reference was not amusing. It was hilarious. Cptnono (talk) 07:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I don't know anything about licenses. Could you explain me why, for example, in this article this image is accepted but I can't put it on this one? I just want to improve the articles, I really don't want to upset anyone. Perhaps you could help me to understand and learn. Thanks for your time.--AndresHerutJaim (talk) 19:25, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I did chuckle at bellend and bum. But yeah, GTFO.Cptnono (talk) 10:24, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Images

Hi Cpt. I found this in connection with your request on images. It’s not as graphic as the montage or as biased as the David/Goliath depiction. The caption can read “Israeli soldiers and Arab locals inspect anti-Israeli graffiti scrawled on a wall in Jabalia.” Hope this helps.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 18:03, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

sub categories

Hiya. I noticed that in the category: SSCS you made the note "categories that relate to SSCS" and then listed them. The problem is that listing them in such away means that they aren't just related categories but become parent categories of that SSCS category. Did you intend for all the "related" categories as you wrote to be "parent" categories? I may not be understanding this correctly but it seems that "parent" categories are automatically generated from the list at category:SSCS whereas "related" are automatically generated at the mainpage. I submit that things like "fisheries", "eco-terrorism" and others are not parent categories but are in fact related topics. Are you making a case that SSCS fairly belongs as a subcategory of terrorism or that it is mearly a related topic? Thoughts? 69.246.27.226 (talk) 03:58, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Asleh

Why the change of heart on Asel Asleh? I just found another source from Haaretz covering his death and the subsequent investigation in great detail and another from what seems to a speech about Asleh in the UK House of Commons.--TM 15:28, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Screw off

(Response) from "The Truth" Hey quit following me around. I never said it was stupid to edit neutrally, I said you were doing a crappy job of it and the articles still reek of anti-Israeli spin. Not only are you so absent of any real facts on the battle of Gaza that you can't see a spin, but you are so freaking retarded that you don't read my posts all the way and follow me to wherever I am talking and add some stupid-assed comment that doesn't mean anything. If more of you stuck up know it all's made references to legit things like the Geneva Convention like Nableezy did Misplaced Pages wouldn't be in the mess it is now. Most of it's thanks to pricks like you. Don't bother replying, the fact remains that the article barely changed thanks to your foot-dragging. You told me to go to article issues and I did, so quit jumping in, acting like you own the damn internet, waving your editor status at me like it meant something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.236.248.179 (talk) 19:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Re definition of "misogyny"

Hi, I don't recall who you are, but whatever. This definition is taken from Wiktionary:

misogyny: 1. hatred or contempt for women

Note that the conjunction is "or", therefore either condition is sufficient for the definition to apply.

It's not necessarily a pejorative. It simply describes a state or action.

There is a very simple way for a person to avoid being labeled as a "misogynist", and that would be to not show contempt for women.

It is not possible to have frank and open collegial discussion to improve the Misplaced Pages without the ability to accurately describe the state of affairs on the ground, as it were. This is required for fruitful discussion to flourish, in my view.

Of course, anyone can make a mistake. If that is the issue, if I have wrongly applied this definition, please point the cases out to me and I'll correct this. Otherwise, I'm inclined to continue to apply clearly defined terms to clearly defined states or actions, per WP:DUCK. Herostratus (talk) 04:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Now look here. Last time I looked, our editorship was about 87% male. Ever wonder why that is? There is a casual frat-boy contempt for women here, and that is a problem even if it seems the natural state of affairs for many of our editors, and I am not going to shut up about that, OK? And I claim my right as a Misplaced Pages editor to describe and address problems that exist on the Misplaced Pages, OK? Even if you, personally, don't like it. And that is an end to it. Herostratus (talk) 04:48, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

OK. Now what are you one about? Is this about Talk:Bukkake#Images, or what? You have not provided me with any diffs or sufficient detail for me to understand what, exactly, you are referring to. I write a lot here. If you are talking about Talk:Bukkake#Images, I don't see the problem here. Oh, OK, you have contributed to that thread. So, are we in an editing dispute or something? Sorry, I can't always keep track of who is who. If we are having an editing dispute or something, you can take to WP:ANI or whatever. If your basic complaint is that I am making arguments you don't agree with, you probably won't make much headway there, I guess. I'm not sure what you mean by "already been asked to stop". I am certainly not going to stop, if that's what you expect. Talk pages are for discussion, and discussion is allowed. Also, I do understand that you don't care if I don't approve of the demographics. I don't expect you to. You continue doing whatever it is that you do best to contribute to the Misplaced Pages, and I will do the same, OK? If there's anything more, could you please provide diffs and be more specific? Thanks, Herostratus (talk) 05:32, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, OK. Well, the first thread you referenced (Final warning on disrupting Misplaced Pages to prove a point) is kind of an old thread, it originated over a complicated issue, I responded to the original poster on his talk page, and I did apologize the editor I went off on, and as far as I know we're good pals now. But I shouldn't have done that, as I admitted at the ANI thread referenced. On the next two diffs, OK, I see your point -- the article says it's a "Japanese term" so your assumption was it should show a Japanese person. But on the other hand the article doesn't say or imply that it's a Japanese practice. "Assassin" is an Arabic term (حشاشين), but I wouldn't take too kindly to someone saying "We need a picture of a Middle Eastern looking person to illustrate Assassin" or whatever. I honestly don't know why the article even exists, what it's supposed to be about, or what. Let's just say that to avoid being misunderstood it would probably be a good idea to avoid terms like "Asian female" in future, OK?

As to ""...is a skilled pornographer and, I infer from his work and writings, not terribly fond of women.", I don't see the problem. OK, this was referring to User:Seedfeeder. Well, he is reasonably skilled, isn't he? I think so. And he is a pornographer, right? According to Wiktionary, the definition of pornographer is "One who is involved in the creation or dissemination of pornography". That fits ], doesn't it? It's just a neutral descriptive term. Larry Flynt was a pornographer, and he was proud of it; Al Goldstein was a pornographer, and he was proud of it and had a blast doing it. (In fact, I just looked at Goldestein's article, and it begins "Alvin "Al" Goldstein (b. January 10, 1936, New York City) is an American publisher and pornographer." So no problem there. As to "not terribly fond of women", is User:Seedfeeder going to be invited to speak by the National Organization of Women? Is the Feminist Majority Foundation going to mount a display of his artwork? OK, it's possible that User:Seedfeeder hates making pictures of women being abused and so forth, and he forces himself to do it for the good of the Misplaced Pages. It's also possible that I am the heir to throne of the Austo-Hungarian Empire. But it's not likely. I mean, we have to go with what we see, right? We're allowed to make reasonable inferences based on observed behavior, right? We don't have to take everything on face value; we're allowed to point out contexts and subtexts if there's reasonable evidence. Of course, others are allowed to refute such claims. Welcome to the Agora.

By the same token, you can call me a "censorer" or whatever (if that's a real word). It'd be a reasonable assertion.

None of this is personal attacks. Personal attacks is, you know, "you're an idiot" or "that's a stupid argument" or whatever. It's not making reasonable inferences. It's like... if you say "I'm a Communist", then people can say "You're a Communist!". But if you say "I believe in all power to the Worker's Councils, with the dictatorship of the proletariat controlling the means of production", then people can still say "You're a Communist!". You can't say "I believe in all power to the Worker's Councils, with the dictatorship of the proletariat controlling the means of production" and then also say "How dare you call me a Communist, that's a personal attack!". We need to be civil, but we don't need to pretend to be stupid. I guess what you might take away from all this is, people do judge other people by what they say and do.

As to the "Final Warning" bit, would you knock that off please? That was just some guy flying off the handle over an entirely different matter, and I am not on some kind of probation, and you are not my probation officer. As to the other stuff, as I said I'm not going to shut up about these issues, and these are tough issues, and it's never going to be all sweetness and light. My personal opinion is that you can't let these things worry you too much. But, you know, it's entirely your right to pursue whatever avenues of redress you wish.

ANI

I took this to ANI (thread just opened) because I think it's an important principle that those attempting to bring potentially contentious pages into line with policy are not accused or bitten unfairly. If you will say that you did not mean to accuse me then I will be happy to regard the issue as resolved. Itsmejudith (talk) 10:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough then

OK then. I was asking for clarification. And you'll see that I was not advocating use of EI. I find that the "if your source then my source" tit-for-tat is bedevilling Israel-Palestine articles at the moment. Itsmejudith (talk) 07:35, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

That thing

I don't understand why you're so animated about the Nishidani thing. I'm not familiar with the jurisprudence here so I don't know if you're right or you're wrong. But it seems so unimportant that I can't see why it is worth inflaming I/P relations which seem to be getting worse. All these little things matter so little and just build up the enmity. I kind of wish you could say "I disagree with y'all but in the interest of good will I'll drop the matter. And maybe you guys could reciprocate with some understanding in the future." In the spirit of the holiday and all (Canadian Thanksgiving). I don't mean to dump on you but I thought you were generally interested in improving I/P relations and I always thought you were one of the reasonable few around here. Just my thoughts. I don't really edit these days but I check in now and then and it distressing to see things get worse and worse. --JGGardiner (talk) 08:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not animated. The guy has inappropriate material on his talk page. I didn;t think it was disruptive until someone else said something. Someone else said something so it means that two people have a problem. And you should be able to tell when I am animated. My posts have more "fucks" "shits" and "dirty liars" in them (I've refrained from the liar thing since it is completely unacceptable). Cptnono (talk) 08:14, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

LOL. Nevermind, I must be animated. A nicer response would have been, I see what you are saying. It really isn't THAT big of a deal but it it still annoying. I would like to think that I am reasonable but I have a habit of flying off the handle when something gets under my skin. The principle of his user page gets under my skin. It shouldn't but it does. If he followed the standards like everyone else is suppose to (but doesn't) then everything would be fine. We could also continue to ignore stuff like that but where is the line? Can editor x revert too much while editor y is a jerk? They ar eboth wrong and need to stop. I hope I don;t look like a jerk for the MfD but I still feel that it is backed up by our guidelines and policies so it is an easy out for me.Cptnono (talk) 08:24, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Invalid deletion of my small "Gaza War" contribution

I did not add commentary or my own personal analysis to the Misplaced Pages "Gaza War" article. I merely added three items to an existing list of facilities "attacked" by Israel during the Gaza war. These additions where factual, and where properly sourced and cited. I did not "add commentary", nor did I "violate Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy". I shall be reinserting my small contribution. Prehaps you would be good enough to provide a valid reason before deleting it again. hopefully we can avoid having to seek arbitration on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prunesqualer (talk • contribs) 18:57, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Having read some of the relevant "talk page" I would say there was very little consensus about the "Gaza War" article. As to the validity of my contribution you used the word "targeted" in your criticism. The word used in the article was "attacked" not "targeted". These have slightly different nuances. "Attacked" dose not necessarily mean a deliberate targeting was involved. For instance the USS Liberty was undoubtedly attacked by the IDF, but not necessarily targeted.

Ghostofnemo

I don't know if you still have his/her userpage on your watchlist or not, but today User:GhostofNemo decided for some reason to return just to explain to the (Wiki) world why he left Misplaced Pages. He didn't actually include the sections that were required to be blanked as a result of the MfD, but instead just included a link to them in his article's history. You were the primary "victim" of the page, as I recall, so I thought you may care. Of course, feel free to ignore; maybe it's long enough ago that it no longer matters.

RE: Image Copyright

Thank you for your message. For me to actually have the slightest idea who made the image I would have needed to be a 4chan admin, online for the few moments when the image was alive in its original thread, ready with a subpoena from law enforcement to serve the individual's ISP. As our current discussion would indicate this moment is not the product of those circumstances, so what other roads are there to take to ensure the image does not get deleted? I guess I do see the high danger in the maker who values their anonymity so highly in the midst of these illegal events rising from the water to sue wikipedia over this anti-copyright propaganda, so it's all fair enough.Chewwy225 (talk) 00:26, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

http://payback.pcriot.com/ is definitely up... direct link to image is here. I asked in the "official" irc channel and no-one (including the channel owner) knew who made it or where it originated, so I don't think the image is any more official than any other image an "anon" has made.

Could you provide a link to the ship image you're talking about? Chewwy225 (talk) 01:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I'm tending to agree with you that an image more specific to the Pirate Bay might be a better match for the article. Was it one of these two images? Chewwy225 (talk) 16:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Good stuff, I went ahead and switched the two images around in the article. The newer one doesn't fit quite so seemlessly into the layout but I'm hoping it will look more at home once the article grows a little around it. Chewwy225 (talk) 01:48, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll probably leave the parameter size for now, I did a little experimentation at the time and found it looked the best. Although if someone changes it at a later point I have no problems. Chewwy225 (talk) 18:11, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Pamela Geller

Hello Cptnono. Thanks for providing your ideas for the Pamela Geller discussion. There's really one issue left, and then we can wrap it up -- if and how to mention the Second Temple. I think you have a good point and responded; would you mind responding over on the Talk page for that article? (There's also an question about links, but I think that will be easily resolved.)

Re: Operation Payback

Hi. I'm having a bit of trouble to determinate the license tag on that images. The two images are propaganda posters of the group. The group is like.. against labels, their use of copyright and that stuff. So I guess their images aren't copyrighted lol xD I'm trying to contact these group of people to ask them to put in their website that their flyers are released under public domain. They want their flyers in wikipedia because they added them, but they don't know much about editing wiki. If we delete them they will add them again. I'm not sure how to proceed. --Neo139 (talk) 23:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

hey, thanks! That was a fast reply ^^ --Neo139 (talk) 23:18, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again!!. I think the best option is the fair use. Tomorrow they will hit the RIAA. I'm sure TorrentFreak and some notable websites will talk about it, and that will be enough for fairuse. So now we have to wait. --Neo139 (talk) 02:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Re:Proposal

Hehe. One of the reasons editors on both sides of this conflict get so wrapped up in these edit wars is there's this sort of "I know what policy says" mentality, and people stop bothering to read what the policies actually say. An editor on one side argues not to include some information in one article, citing WP:UNDUE, then an editor on the other side argues the same thing in another article, using the first editor's misinterpretation. And it spreads like wildfire, one great big clusterfuck of people citing policies they never bother to read. The policies themselves become like mythical tomes which everyone thinks they know but nobody reads (in the same way that everyone thinks Eve ate an apple in the garden of Eden, but the Bible doesn't actually say it was an apple, just a "fruit"). I started playing around with your version, but I might actually hold off. Overall, I think your proposal is fine, so it might keep the discussion a little more focused if I don't bother with (mostly minor) changes. Btw, happened to see Fredy Montero at the Home Depot in Bellevue today. I read yesterday that he bought a new house... looked like he was shopping for carpet. Hopefully that means he'll stick around a while! The chick with him was pretty hot, haha. ← George 05:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh yes, definitely much deeper issues too. I'm really hoping I can find time to make it to Sundays game. Been insanely busy of late. As long as we win though, it's all good! ;) ← George 05:31, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Dude, I really don't care. I mean, if you want to ignore each and every question Nableezy asks you, or reply to him in no less than 20 pages, it just doesn't matter. The fact that Nableezy keeps repeating himself is coming across as being a dick, and that doesn't help us achieve consensus. If Nableezy is really interested in your thoughts, he should ask you on your talk page, not fill up that discussion. ← George 20:42, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Lol, shiiit. Well, if you disappear from Misplaced Pages one day, I guess we'll know what happened! :O ← George 20:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so I think I get why some editors are pushing for the "under international law" bit. I couldn't figure out why Shuki kept stressing that they were legal under Israeli law, but apparently some editors read the first proposal as saying that "the international community considers the settlements illegal under Israeli law". I know that's not how either of us interpret it, and I know that's not how we intended to write it, but I'll admit that I can see how the wording can be slightly ambiguous. Just thought I'd clarify the problem some editors are citing, which is why I added the second proposal. ← George 22:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I also tried to make it less redundant by moving the "international community" to the beginning of the sentence, away from the "international law". Having the two right next to each other was definitely redundant. ← George 22:20, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't misinterpret it, but I guess I can see that there is an ambiguity to it that someone might misinterpret. Apparently Shuki and Nableezy did, anyways. Regardless, I'm really fine with either, as long the the edit warring ends. ← George 22:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Random question, is that English bloke who plays for Sunday's opposition fit at the moment? I'll be watching (and obviously rooting for the Sounders) either way, but it's hard to get info on the MLS from this side of the pond. —WFC— 08:04, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Request for mediation - your input is required

A request for mediation has been filed concerning a matter in which you have participated.

The operative page is at Misplaced Pages:Requests for mediation/Creampie (sexual act). Please go there and indicate your acceptance of mediation at the Parties' agreement to mediation section (or you can decline to accept mediation, if for some reason you want to.) If you have any questions about mediation, see Misplaced Pages:Requests for mediation or message me. Thank you for your time and consideration. Herostratus (talk) 16:12, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you posted as disagreeing with the request for mediation, which is your right of course. I notified everyone who made even a single post on the issue, as is required (I think), and sorry if this has been a bother to you. If your objection is just that you don't consider yourself a party to the discussion and/or don't want to be bothered with the issue, would you consider removing yourself as a party (or I'll do it for you if you request) rather than remaining as a party but actively disagreeing. Herostratus (talk) 05:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I consider it a waste of time, an abuse of process, and a complete disregard for the RfC. Appears that I am not the only one. Better luck next time.Cptnono (talk) 05:22, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

American Free Corps

Hi! I'm just trying to sort out some of the self-contradictory articles on Misplaced Pages, and I see you tagged American Free Corps. I admit it doesn't look particularly well written, but it's refering the a propoganda concept that didn't happen, though something similar did. I've read it through a few times and can't see a contradiction, so I've removed the tag. Can you just double check to see if I've missed something that you spotted before, and if so put the tag back with a comment on the talk page? Cheers --Worm 09:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm. That was lame of me to not put something on the talk page. I don;t recall off the top of my head what the contradiction was so it should be fine.Cptnono (talk) 22:43, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Razorback216

Do you remember this fella?--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 00:19, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

On June 23, 2010 Razorback216 made this edit. The edit was reverted and subsequently, a flurry of IPs came on the scene and reinserted precisely the same edit. I had my suspicions about Razorback216 back then and as you may recall, I filed an ANI but I let the matter rest when he stopped editing. On 11 November 2010, Remi14 made the same edit. Remi14 made his first edit to Misplaced Pages on 23 June 2010, the same day that Razorback216 made his first edit to the Gaza war. Razorback216 completely stopped editing on 25 June 2010 after I filed my ANI action against him. Lo and behold, Razorback216 suddenly reappears on 11 November 2010 and begins making edits to the Gaza War, the same day that Remi14 made his edit. A new editor, Salubrious-inca, having never made an edit to any article joined in. A comparison of edit summaries between Razorback216 and Remi14 is also very telling with both emphasizing grammar. Compare contribution histories for both Razorback216 and Remi14 I believe that Remi14 and Salubrious-inca are sockpuppets of Razorback216 and I believe that Razorback216 is almost certainly a sockpuppet of a banned user. Your thoughts--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 01:12, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Cause for suspicion and reverting without talk page use. I'd take it to AE (they are sick of new editors it looks like and a check user may not be necessary per DUCK) or SPI.Cptnono (talk) 02:29, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

AE or SPI or both. Which option--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 02:50, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Lean towards AE but the report should detail how POV the edits war. SPI might be easier to submit. Both would look bad. Cptnono (talk) 02:57, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

SPI--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 05:30, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Tea bag (sexual act)

Please review WP:TPNO and consider whether your comment "why are you being a dick" here belongs on an article talk page. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:57, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

It would've been perfectly acceptable had Cptono wikilinked WP:DICK, apparently. :-) †TE†Talk 18:09, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Is that the page that begins The presence of this page does not itself license any editor to refer to any other identifiable editor as "a dick"? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:16, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I know what it says. Just commenting from personal experience after seeing it used by both admins and garden-variety editors. I'm not passing judgement one way or the other. †TE†Talk 18:25, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Although inadvisable, I've never seen anyone in hot water for suggesting that someone else is being a dick, as opposed to a dick. Probably best to take it in good humour, call him a douchebag, and then try to resolve the matter at hand. Regards, —WFC— 18:32, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Why are people commenting on my page about this? He made a dick comment and I responded in kind. When civility blocks are enacted I will not do it in the future. Until then he can fuck off for making that comment.Cptnono (talk) 03:45, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cpt. He's a decent chap and I have a feeling that English is not his first language. Maybe a warning on his page would suffice. Just a suggestion. Thanks.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 05:33, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Team work ?

This is your notification: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles. It does not need to be done by an admin. It is not acceptable to attempt to recruit people who you agree with simply because you do not agree with someone else. If I have misread the situation then it is great since you will then be happy to take it to the proper venues. If you need more clarification please do so but any attempts to circumvent standards in the topic area will be met with either a request to have you banned or tons of "fuck yous".Cptnono (talk) 06:17, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I take note of this, Cptnono.

This is your notification too : Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles.

I have the feeling that you are currently involved with some other editors in a team-work consisting of covering some pov-pushers by a diversion strategy.

Marokwitz is involved in an agressive campaign of pov-pushing on wikipedia. This is in complete contradiction with our standards. He made more than 500 reverts yesterday in removing the references to a specific article that he proved he WP:IDONTLIKEIT. In coming suddenly on my talk page, harashing me and used such a unacceptable vocabulary (see here above), you just try to upset me and to give me an image of bruiser.

You, your friends and your so-called enemies should not import on wikipedia the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Misplaced Pages is not the place for this. In proceeding that way, you harm both the encyclopaedia project and your own image, the one of Israel and the one of your community.

I hope you understand the consequence of you behavior and you can come back on a more appropriate climate. Noisetier (talk) 07:04, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
