Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Alastair Haines

An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened, and is located here. Please add any evidence you may wish the Arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Alastair Haines/Evidence. Please submit your evidence within one week, if possible. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Alastair Haines/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, — Coren  02:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note

I appreciate your input. I'm definitely researching this, and I'll admit that I have a long way to go. I'll definitely review everyone's evidence to see if it changes my perspective.

Lisa actually came onto my talk page and interacted with me while Alastair and I were discussing the Gender of God page. He and I at the time thought it ironic that I was defending Christianity's self definition while he was trying to source Judaism's. In other words, we were doing the wrong religions. But I was still scared to add to Jewish sections because of previous experience, and when I foolishly did so -- BOOM.

In any case, I've looked at Lisa's evidence against Alastair, and it simply looks like him protesting his innocence. I haven't been able to go through yours yet, but I promise to do so.

I guess we all have our perspectives here. I suspect that everyone here is being more honest than the alternate POVs suspect (that is, we all really MAY see things the way we are presenting them -- even Lisa). I guess that's why the committee is there.

But I do promise to go through your evidence, and hope you go through mine by the time I connect the dots from 2007 to today.Tim (talk) 16:51, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm actually heading home now and Shabbat is coming shortly after I get home (it's a long trip). I may not be able to rephrase my terms before Sunday, and I apologize if any mistake on my part causes a problem. But I'll give a good review of my words as soon as I'm back on Misplaced Pages. Again, thanks.Tim (talk) 19:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Please talk to me...

Hey-
I hate to bring this onwiki but you won't answer me elsewhere... Why are you mad at me? I really, honestly don't understand. Please, talk to me... L'Aquatique 22:42, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Good luck

If you have retired due to the Haines episodes, please reconsider; the fact that he suffers from a god-complex will be his undoing oneday. Just hang in there and eventually he will get his "comeuppance". Whatever you decide, good luck. Abtract (talk) 12:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Owned

Just read your reply to those arrogant underage kids in the "backyard airsoft" section in the discussion. I know it's a while ago, but it's good to know there are players like you who are doing all they can to counteract these idiots who are doing all they can to get the sport banned and ruin it for the rest of us86.46.208.159 (talk) 19:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Rhys_Morgan

• Response I am obviously very disappointed by this decision. The assertion that I did not read the article is highly misleading, not to mention offensive. I have been a Misplaced Pages editor for many, many years, and have followed the rules and regulations throughout these years. To suggest that I did not follow the regulations is complete bunkum. Using the evidence present in the article, I made a choice based on what I thought was a fairly obvious case - it STILL breaks our rules on blogs, recentism, notability, and bias. The "keep" votes are from people who have an immense level of conflict of interest, and therefore skew the vote something rotten. I am very disappointed that this entire episode has been carried out at my expense, rather than at the article itself. This response will be copied to as many concerned editors in this matter. doktorb _words 18:38, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for contacting me with your concerns. I cannot see where I have made an assertion that you did not read the article in my response to the AfD regarding Rhys Morgan, though I understand other parties might have felt that way. Obviously all AfDs have a certain measure of disagreement. This is true of all consensus and if in doubt I would hope you WP:Assume good faith of all other editors involved, whatever their account's age.

I should like to point out, in addition, that Misplaced Pages has no rules and regulations and that if we assume you are referring to the WP:Policies and guidelines, it is quite impossible not to fall afoul of them. That it why it is important to be WP:Bold on Misplaced Pages and rely upon consensus, to the extent we also WP:Ignore all rules. I should also hasten to add that an AfD is not a vote. Parties who simply add nothing to the debate are ultimately disregarded in the decision making process, hence why it is not worth getting worked up about them. Indeed, we could distill this down to the simple assertion that people are irrelevant when coming to such a consensus, only the arguments posed are relevant. Ad hominems are similarly valueless, hence it's better to just WP:Assume good faith.

An AfD, and the comments therein, do not reflect on the editors except insofar as their own behaviour besmirchs their name. Experienced editors regularly assert things that others do not agree with or make arguments others find ludicrous. This is perfectly normal and does not represent a failing or mistake on the part of the editor and should not be treated as such. This is particularly amplified when you consider that many of the accounts were relatively young and thus their opinions of other's actions hold zero weight amongst others not already inclined to those opinions.

In closing, I would suggest that making a large number of accusatory statements about Incivility is not a good idea unless you are prepared to take the flak of those you may have incorrectly labelled as such, since failure to WP:Assume good faith is not a trait Wikipedians value. -Rushyo 19:04, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi

Did you see this? Arcandam (talk) 21:40, 20 May 2012 (UTC) p.s. I made a small linkfix on your userpage, I hope you don't mind. Do you like Total Annihilation? Supreme Commander always reminds me of that game. Arcandam (talk) 21:44, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Yup, I've added a reply. Cheers for the linkfix. I would suspect SC reminds you of TA because it was made by many of the same people, I only played TA a few times, well over a decade ago now! -Rushyo 21:48, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Me too! I can highly recommend it, one of the best games I ever played. That doesn't surpise me, both are great games. Yeah, I know, I play oldskool games. :P Playing Theme Hospital by Bullfrog in 2012 on a quadcore is fun! I am addicted to Tropico 4 ATM; great game (gameplay is unfortunately a bit short without DLC's). Once you are used to the way the economy and traffic works it is really fun.

Speedy deletions declined

Hello Rushyo. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Shree Agrasen Mahavidyalaya(Dalkhola college), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 clearly excludes schools. Thank you. Alexf 13:10, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello Rushyo. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Dalkhola High School, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to schools. Thank you. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:07, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Cheers. Might propose re-factoring A7's description. I scan read the list for organisations, then glossed over the rest of the list and contined reading. I think the exception needs to be made more obvious -Rushyo 14:36, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Started discussion over at Criteria for speedy deletion talk. -Rushyo 16:43, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

And changed :) -Rushyo 11:17, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Frozen Synapse picture

In case you don't watch your commons talk page, I wanted to let you know that I tagged the screenshot you just added to Frozen Synapse for deletion. If you read WP:Screenshot, you'll see that screenshots of proprietary software cannot be public domain; it doesn't matter that you made the video, because the underlying game itself is not free. It's the same reason why you can't take a video in a movie theatre and then claim that because you shot it with your own camera, you now own the rights to that new work. However, you can probably re-upload the screenshot to Misplaced Pages's file system under our fair use exception (which does not exist on Commons). Qwyrxian (talk) 23:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect assumptions, however will discuss at the deletion page. To re-iterate: The image is not public domain, the software grants me copyright of this derivative work. -Rushyo 23:29, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Mozilla Editathon Saturday 18 August

You are invited to attend the Mozilla Editathon, where, among the like minded people, we will look at improving the Mozilla related articles on Misplaced Pages. For more information visit http://uk.wikimedia.org/Mozilla_Editathon

Your request for rollback

Hi Rushyo. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Misplaced Pages:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! v/r - TP 20:30, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Removing AfD template

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Ken Hoang. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it. Snotbot  t • c »  16:37, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

False positive. Removal was for 5th nomination, Snotbot is looking at 6th nomination. Reported to bot operator -Rushyo 17:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Stay off

Stay off my talk page. We have an editor who is disrupting the discussion by re-entering the same lenghty content. He was educated on how to edit his prior comments. --76.189.126.40 (talk) 20:55, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Assume good faith. Civility is a cornerstone of Misplaced Pages. If you are incapable of continuing your discussion without resorting to personal attacks and breaching Misplaced Pages policy yourself then I recommend you remove yourself from the discussion or utilise Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution processes. We do not tolerate personal attacks. -Rushyo 20:59, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

December 2012

Please stop your disruptive behaviour. Your behaviour is verging on harassment. Misplaced Pages prides itself on providing a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing edits potentially compromise that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. --76.189.126.40 (talk) 20:58, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Tau Epsilon Phi

Hi you reverted back my talk posting thank you. But IP 76 has deleted it again. Also FYI it is not repetitive posting. He is emotionally involved in the argument. Our admins have already agreed to leave names out of a particular article and he keeps distracting with harassing me, accusing me of things, and intimidating me rather then stay on the topic at hand. Sorry for the trouble.

Please help.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opthamologist (talk • contribs) 21:00, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

You have been educated about how to strike comments from your original post. And you do not re-post the same comments, especially lengthy ones. If you continue, you will be reported. --76.189.126.40 (talk) 21:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
