| == athiests are sinners == | |||
| Not sure if you knew but that was a recreated article, recently deleted a few minutes ago. --]] 02:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Why have you removed my edits to the England page? == | |||
| I made some edits to the which you have regressed. Can you explain why you decided to do this? The main edit I made was (once again) the removal of the assertion that the English Democrats Party is a far-right political party and the implied association with the BNP. I don't kno what agenda you are following but I find it offensive. I am not a member of the EDP but I do know several high-ranking members and the party is absolutely not far-right or racist. Please reinstate my changes. | |||

| == Sorry for calling you queer == | |||
| My apologies, I accidentally clicked the wrong name. You, my friend are not a queer. | |||
| == User:Son of a Peach == | |||
| Please share with me your opinion of ]. I may have mistakenly nominated his or her user page for deletion. Please share your thought at the page's ] on the Miscellany for Deletion page. Thanks in advance. ] 08:03, 19 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==I'm sorry== | |||
| I'm sorry I removed that, but I honestly thought lies had no place on Misplaced Pages. If he was truly sorry, then why has he never stated so on my talk page? but only continued to persecute me and try to order me around. | |||
| he was not defending himself, he was making up baldfaced lies, he should atleast be warned, that's all I asked for. | |||
| he says one thing on their in order to escape justice, but his words everywhere else have proven to be opposite. | |||

| ==Test email== | |||
| Hi. Will you do me a favour and send a test email to my new account I just set up and attached to my wiki preferences? Thanks. --] 18:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :That worked! Thank you. --] 19:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == London is "very cosmopolitan" == | |||
| Please explain to me why you keep inserting "very" into the London article. The claim that London is "very cosmopolitan" is hard to justify since there is no objective way to measure "cosmopolitan-ness", so how can we say that London is "very" cosmopolitan, while other cities (presumably) are merely cosmopolitan. Your addition makes the article less ]. I should also let you know that Misplaced Pages has a policy against making more than ] every 24 hours. Please do not put this edit back into the London article. Thanks, ] 23:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Oh for pity's sake. It should be blindingly obvious that London is "very" cosmopolitan - just as New York is "very" dense and highrise, Tokyo is "very" futuristic, Paris is "very" beautiful, etc. You don't have to conduct some kind of test or study to come to this conclusion. Just take a stroll around the West End and you'll see the overwhelming multitude of different peoples and cultures flowing from literally every corner of the globe. Look at the countless different neighbourhoods around the city, occupied by tens of thousands of French, German, Spanish, Italian, Greek, African, Australian, Chinese, Russian, American, Arab, etc. etc... All of these people manage to live together in harmony. More languages are spoken in London than any other city in the world. I think you're being incredibly anal. | |||

| == AfD nomination revert == | |||
| Thanks for revisiting your recommendation and changing on the ] article after I worked on it. I'm not attached to the topic (quite the opposite, actually), and don't know what possessed me to clean it up. I was wondering, though - if the nominator changes their recommendation, does that result in an automatic "Keep"? Or is that viewed as a rather strong "Keep" by the closing administrator? I'm not sure it ''should'' carry more weight, I'm just wondering if it ''does''. On a more personal note, I lived in San Francisco for 15 years and now live in Chicago. I miss SF every day. :-( Thanks.<font color="FF6600">—</font>] ] 01:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Comments on afd pages you advised me about before == | |||
| On ] a person has left a comment about me (the nominator). Do you think that it is inappropriate? Or is it related in this case? | |||
| I think what gets me into trouble is trying to clear out wikify backlogs. I end up tagging articles and every once in a while feeling like I should afd -- which I have sworn I would never do again. But the wikify directions say to do that if you feel it needs it. | |||
| My new resolution -- stay completely out of clearing up backlogs! I've done too much of that anyway. ]] 15:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Aeropagitica, I'd like to talk with you about the block on this user. I believe its possible that I may be able to talk some sense into this one, so I'd like to consider lifting your block on him/her. The condition would be that if the user returns to adding nonsense to articles, I will reinstate the block without warning and with a longer duration (probably 1 week). Are you comfortable with this? Thanks, ] 23:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Gwernol, thanks for backing me up on my talk page regarding this user. While I still feel that this person was knowingly vandalizing, I hope you don't feel I was too hasty in my decision to report him or her to AIV. I certainly hold myself responsible if the block is to be deemed inappropriate. That said, I will go along in complete agreement if this user is unblocked, and will continue to monitor him or her myself, if that's alright, while exercising neutrality and not rushing to any more conclusions. -- ] (]) 23:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Please understand that my request here is absolutely not a critisism of either of you. The block (and the request for it) were '''totally''' appropriate. The only reason I'm making this suggestion is that I see some glimmer of hope that we can make a productive editor out of Zharta. I could well be wrong about this, in which case it will only reflect poorly on me, not on either of you. Hopefully the worst case is we have to revert a few more nonsense edits, and the best case is we gain a valuable contributor. Best, ] 23:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Review of Block of ] == | |||
| You reviewed this block, but you may have acted somewhat hastily in refusing to consider an unblock of this user. He was actually shaping up to be a useful contributor, but was victimized by the Arbitration Committee, which led to a months long ban and subsequent abuse by numerous administrators. I would advise you that an unblock with mediation would probably be superior to the current situation, as his block provides an unwelcome example of unfairness and out-of-process abuse by wikipedia's administrators and arbitration committee. --] 21:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==List of Frankist Jews== | |||
| Sure here: ]. The creator re-directed it to ] probably to try to dupe people. It worked unfortunately. He also keeps on adding this original research material to articles such as ]. Can you keep an eye on that article so it won't happen again? ] 12:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Boco vs Boco (disambiguation) == | |||
| Hi. I'm afraid that I have helped prolong the ]/]/] mess identified in ], although I did at least resolve its connection to ], for which I was given a barnstar! (Yes, I got fed up of typing 'BoCo' into the search box and ending up at ] rather than ]!!) | |||
| If you look at the history for ] you will see that it would be quite reasonable to move ] back over it, and delete the latter, since ] was only created from ] in July. This is the activity identiified by that project, but requires an admin to do it. | |||
| Could you have a look when you have a spare moment please? (It's not urgent). | |||

| == Sentance logic == | |||
| I believe that it is ignorance, not a typo. People who are dumb enough to spell 'sentence' with an 'a' should not get away with just a redirect, but should have to work to find the article. 'Sentance' ''is not'' a truly common misspelling. Anyway, trying to say 'sentance' just sounds weird. If you seriously believe this redirect should stay, add the template <nowiki>{{R from misspelling}}</nowiki> to it. I'll know it, so you don't have to change my talk page. ] 20:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, could use an admin's help over at the New York City Fire Department article. An AOL user is spamming the article with a link that s/he puts back whenever it is removed.(Diffs and more) It's a slow moving thing, so no technical 3RR violations. The user has not made any attempt to give a rationale for the link despite attempts to engage him/her with edit summaries and a talk page request to discuss.

| Hi. I was wondering if you could clarify a comment you made on ]: ''"Please read this and understand that this is the way Misplaced Pages names articles. Articles do not have to have the same name as the subject they are about."'' Rhythmnation2004 seems to think the comment means that he is allowed to capitalise song and album titles exactly as they appear on the CD covers, regardless of what Misplaced Pages's style pages say (] and ] stipulate that articles, prepositions and conjunctions in song and album titles shouldn't be capitalised). Now he's reverting wholesale any attempt made to clean up his edits, and he's becoming slightly uncivil again. I get the impression he thinks that song and album articles are to be treated differently from others and have their own "style" independent of the MoS, and that I just have a "bee in my bonnet" (so to speak); if somebody else (particularly an admin) had a word with him, he might recognise the importance of the style guidelines and policies.

| Hi, I've had a similar debate with this user on ] about the inclusion of people based on some essays saying they "might" have Jewish ancestors. The information has since been moved to another page (]). For one thing, even having genealogical research isn't evidence enough that "possible Jewish ancestry" has a lack of a basis, noting the comment on the talk page "However, genealogical research makes such an assumption rather improbable." (Wiktor Weintraub, "The Poetry of Adam Mickiewicz")." The user has the impression that if anyone anywhere on the internet has a speculation that someone is Jewish, it has to be noted or otherwise it's "cenorship." ] 02:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Felix's RFA == | |||
| I read your deleted comments on his RFA. I hope if you choose to re-comment you can think of a kinder way of making your point. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) {{{2|}}}.</small> | |||
| :Why do you think Felix has behaved as he has? Is it because he is a willful, malevolent vandal? I ask you, does he fit that profile? No, there is clearly something else going on here. An intelligent young man, who is very knowledgable obsessive about certain subjects but seems to lack basic social understanding. He seems unable to 'let go' of issues, he cannot take no for an answer and keeps repeatedly asking the same questions. He seems unable to understand the abstract ideas behind rules on copyright etc. His talk page suggests a range of interests below his actual age and more obessive behaviour - watching the same 3 videos every day. | |||
| :What does that suggest to you? I don't want to say it here - I'm hoping you are intelligent enough to work it out for yourself. My eldest son is a fellow traveller with him, so it is something I know something about. | |||
| :Assuming you are with me, I hope you can see why you need to make allowances for him in the same way I hope people will make allowances for my son when he is Felix's age. I know you've shown a lot of patience so far, all I am asking you to do is go the extra mile. ] 23:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I have tried to follow instructions as closely as possible. However I kept meeting dead links. If this is some sort of initiative test, then it seems I have failed. Could these instructions be more clear ? I don't think the abilty of being able to decypher this process is a fair way to deselect people. From your comments you imply I am not the first to have trouble with this. I think potential administrators should be judged on theirs edits. Perhaps in the spirit of cooperation you could forward my nominatation for me. I would appreciate your help with this. Thank you. ]--] 23:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

Although many users have explained to him/her that what he/she is doing currently (or in the past) isn't acceptable on Misplaced Pages, he/she is still disrupting my editing on Misplaced Pages by attacking my integrity by questioning my application of the policies.

| Inexplicably, the article about railway stations on Misplaced Pages is called ] and the article ] is a protected page redirecting to ]. I feel strongly that this is wrong.

Thanks matey. ] 12:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thanks for your advice. This is wrong because it is poor grammar. Train Station has crept into the English Language in recent years, possibly because of comparison with Bus Station. Train station' is not listed in The Oxford English Dictionary, which would suggest it came into use only within the past twenty years or so. This is the subject of much correspondence in ] in the UK, which has an official editorial policy to always use ] not ]. | |||

| Wow, coming from you, this means a lot. I would probably agree except for last week's stupidity where I was too tired to edit, misread some difs, and thought ] was one of a couple of immature people giving me a hard time over the ] attack page deletion. I knew I wasn't thinking and left a note on ]'s to seek help sorting it out, but '''Trialsanderrors''' helped got me straightened out. Frankly, the episode is too recent and too embarrassing for me to feel comfortable about an RfA now. I'm mostly a Wikignome, so I was planning to wait a while anyway. So, I am interested, but now might be a bad time. Thanks again for thinking of me. With best regards, ] 20:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

Retired This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanz 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
