• Archive, May 2003 - October 2005

Question

Did you mean to remove every single "Articles protected against re-creation" on WP:PP? Alot of the pages you removed are still protected against recreation. --Woohookitty 12:58, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to revert the removal of the section from PP. Because. It's not correct. :) Then try again. :) If you'd like, I can go through the list myself and remove the ones you unprotected and the already unprotected ones. --Woohookitty 13:00, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

OK. I removed the ones you unprotected and the already unprotected ones. Should be ok now. --Woohookitty 13:08, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

TFD: Linkimage

Hi there, you voted to link the image Image:Autofellatio 2.jpg at autofellatio rather than provide it inline. The template used to make the link is now up for deletion, please see Misplaced Pages:Templates_for_deletion#Template:Linkimage... Mikkerpikker 15:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Wikipedians/Germany is being replaced by a category

Hello! You were listed on the Misplaced Pages:Wikipedians/Germany page as living in or being associated with Germany. As part of the Misplaced Pages:User categorisation project, these lists are being replaced with user categories. If you would like to add yourself to the category that is replacing the page, or one of the Bundesland-based subcategories, please visit Category:Wikipedians in Germany for instructions. --Angr (tɔk) 14:47, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello

You were actually nice when you used your Gentaur account. Now I don't know what's the matter with you. I sent that email to check my user page to get your opinion. Why did you accuse me of being some troll who you do not know about? By a glance at the furry articles, this troll stays up all night editing the articles only to get reverted and if it's one person they have not slept for several years. I doubt it is one person. I doubt it is one person who alters the George Bush article (substitute controversial figure). And for copywrite, please tell me now how to write copywrites if you make the image yourself in an editing program. It had a single function when I uploaded it. Are you a copywrite lawyer? Do you know any? Because I'd like to know. Please respond to me and address these issues. Thanks for the communication--I hope to here from you, bye. Arights 10:05, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Gentaur was my old account, not ContiE's. We are not the same person. Coyoty 19:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I want to discuss things with you

I am aware that you swore a blood oath to assassinate another user, but I am not this person. I am tired of going at it with you and I want to resolve things. Please explain why TV, video game, movie or comic book screenshots are not fair use. Please explain the Chakat thing. That's pretty much all for now.Arights 07:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I can't say whether you are User:Thodin or not, but you are surely trying to convince me of being him. Anyways, here are a few answers: Please read Misplaced Pages:Fair use carefully, you are not allowed to have fair use images for your own userpage. Fair use is only allowed to illustrate something on an article, and only if there is no free picture available that would do the same. The "Chakat thing" was explained on Talk:Yiff already, and I pretty much agree with what was written there. Feel free to ask more questions if you have them. --Conti|✉ 17:14, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I guess I missed the part about userpages. So a subpage of a userpage might not work, I don't know. I put them in furvert. I hope they don't upset anyone. I am considering making the animated image smaller and reuploading it--shrinking it with wikipedia size garbles such images so it needs reediting. I also removed them from my user page. They should qualify for fair use now. Arights 03:03, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Fursuit

Was going to move that picture in there once the PUI was deleted ;) --Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 21:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

About username change

If you are really close to the 6,800 limit, perhaps deleting random edits on your user page/subpages/talk page may get rid of some of your edis to make it around 6,800, since you have about 369 on user namespace. That said, you might want to slow down editting until the request is fulfilled. Just a thought, Cheers. -- WB 10:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

LARP as RPG-term

While I understand your revert, I feel that LARP is a class of RPG that not all gamers are familiar with or knowledgeable of. Therefore, I was attempting to put LARP in the category where searchers would be likely to find it. The Bearded One 21:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Assistance

Hey, Contie. I was wondering if you could possibly assist me? On my User Page I wanted to put an image up, but I guess I cannot put in the correct "codes", blah, I was never good on these types of things. --X`terrania 04:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

revert

I don't mind but please give a reason and I won't put it back. 206.11.112.251 02:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, should've given a reason in the first place. Well, Rhobite was faster than me: I think we should link to articles actually describing what something is about, and not to ones that make fun of the topics. Also, if there should be a link to ED's article on furries, the other topics mentioned should also link to ED and not to wikipedia for consistency. But IMO they all should link to our articles.

And nope, no name change yet, for some reason users who have a certain amount of edits can't be renamed now, so I'm stuck with this one for now, but thanks for asking. --Conti|✉ 03:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

A couple of people have been renamed several times. I read somewhere that somebody miscapitalized their wiki name (here or wikicities) and was complaining. For the article, I was considering linking to the categories directly instead. Oh, and one idea is how about besides the external link at the bottom write "Not work safe" or some such thing. Maybe a "turn off pictures to make work safe." Right now the main page has a naked sex act picture. I think like goatse, which says which links are not safe (or sexually explicit--or whatever it said) this should be her,e too. 206.11.112.251 04:44, 5 March 2006 (UTC) Hmmm goatse no longer has "not work safe" and links to worse pics like tubgirl. 206.11.112.251 04:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, if not clearly stated otherwise, links in articles are usually links to other articles here. Maybe there could be links to both tho, first to the wikipedia article, then to the ED one, but you should first propose that on Talk:Encyclopædia Dramatica to get a consensus. Same thing for the "work safe"-stuff. Unless there are permanently really disturbing images, such warnings usually won't be put besides the links, people should know that the internet and wikipedia is not work safe everywhere. --Conti|✉ 17:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

As for really disturbing images, see the tubgirl link on goatse. 206.11.112.251 03:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Feminism

You said "reverted vandalism', I didn't vandalise, I added a link of a critic of feminism which I put onto pending topics to be done.

Have a look at Misplaced Pages:External links, if you're actually interested in doing something for this encyclopedia. The feminism article has way too many links, even without totally useless ones like the one you added. --Conti|✉ 22:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Conti-sig.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Conti-sig.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam 20:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

It's a small version of Image:BDSM-emblem.gif, but I have no use for it, so it can be deleted anyways. --Conti|✉ 20:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

image deletion comment

Hiya, I notice you added a comment to one of the first pages I've edited : http://commons.wikimedia.org/Commons:Featured_picture_removal_candidates/Image:Kusama_Tulips2.jpg I was wondering what you meant by 'user's second edit'. Does this call into question the value of my vote in your opinion. Please let me know what this means. Cheers, Saul

Question about Misplaced Pages, its Self.

Hi, I'm pretty sure this shouldnt be here, but your an Admin, and know about the site, so yea. I was just wondering if there are just Administrators for the whole site, or if there are also moderators just for certain categories that you can apply for? Please anwser in my talk page. Thanks.

Anti-furry site voted for deletion

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Encyclopaedia_Dramatica I hope you will vote for delete DyslexicEditor 05:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I just voted, or rather just commented, I'm not sure whether I should vote either keep or delete on this. --Conti|✉ 16:54, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Moderation Question

Anti Admin Spam

Just thought I would mention that Arights has spammed dozens of people with an insulting message aimed at you and accusing you of various crimes. --Darkfred 14:13, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Wow. Why didn't anyone tell me earlier that I had dozens of admin sockpuppets? --Conti|✉ 14:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm one of your sockpuppets (according to Arights and SnowConeYellow), and I'm not an admin. Why can't I be an admin? You like the other sockpuppets more! File:Cry-tpvgames.gif Coyoty 19:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I found that one yesterday. As long as he does his stuff over there and keeps away from wikipedia I don't really care. Oh, and I'm also mentioned by name here. :-) --Conti|✉ 20:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

He mentions my LiveJournal and my webpage as yours (and me as you), however, and this can cause problems for me. (I have no problem with you, but with the accusations against me as you.) I've written a response at my LiveJournal, just so you know you might be hearing more about it. Coyoty 03:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, if I wouldn't be convinced that we are dealing with a serious troll here, I would propose to simply edit the wiki entry and remove your journal, but I don't think people at ED care too much about personal problems their articles might cause. I still gave it a try tho, so let's see if it works. --Conti|✉ 03:47, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, that takes care of the livejournal, but not the webpage (Bestiaria.com). I'm afraid if I go and remove it, it'll only reinforce the delusion. Coyoty 03:56, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh well, the livejournal link is back in. Our special friend seems to read this and edit the page accordingly. I'm not sure what can be done in this case, other than not feeding the trolls. --Conti|✉ 13:11, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I know

My computer has been going off it's rocker for an hour now. I've been creating the page and all, I've done this before. Lotusduck 15:43, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

There are too references for furry fandom. The biggest difficulty in finding articles on furries is that both "furry" and "furries" are real words used in the ever present news cute animal story. Here,a newspapers web edition describes the cast of cats as furries http://www.nashvillescene.com/blog/pitw/archives/00000871.shtml and there's this:Why not 'CSI: Kink'?; Hit CBS procedural attracts fans, critics with fetishistic plots, USA TODAY, February 8, 2006 Wednesday, FINAL EDITION, LIFE; Pg. 1D, 1472 words, Bill Keveney But beyond sifting through news pieces, there's published comics. It's as long as the trekkies page, if not longer. But add the "totemistic beliefs" etcetera to that page, and I still think it'll be taken as too OR and unbased there. If you think that's what needs to be done, though, go ahead and do it. Lotusduck 21:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

The problem I see with verifiability and the furry fandom article is this: Most of the so called verfiable sources (mostly smaller american newspapers) simply get much stuff about furries wrong. I know it, because I'm involved in the fandom for some years now, know some people these articles talk about, etc., but I'm not a reputable source, of course. And I shouldn't be. But we also shouldn't use stuff we know is wrong just because some newspaper wrote it. To be honest, I don't know what should be done in such a case. But what should we do about things that are easily personally verifiable, like the existance of furry lifestylers, that have not been published anywhere yet? Just ignore it and forbid any mentioning of it? --Conti|✉ 21:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

It's simple: verifiability says "verifiability not truth". If you know something personally, and you write it on wikipedia but cannot prove it with a published source, you are in violation of policy. The people that make these rules are the people that invented and curate this wiki for us all. You could easily put the info on wikiinfo or other similar sites, but you put it here for the assumed credability. Plus your definitions of right and wrong are subjective. On the lifestyler talk page people argue about what a lifestyler is, as you know. And without sources, we get a BS consensus when we all get tired of arguing instead of anything resembling truth. Great. Lotusduck 22:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree, but that was no answer to my question. As per WP:V, we should remove half of the furry fandom article as well, delete Chakat, WikiFur, Rabbit Valley and I don't know what. And that's just stuff from the furry category. --Conti|✉ 22:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Would it help to think of it as transwiki to wikifur or wikiinfo to you? If the info is accessible to people who care about it, why does it have to be here making people think that they too can break the rules? Lotusduck 22:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Even when your soapbox is to say things you know as very simple truths, using wikipedia as your soapbox is inappropriate. Instead, you can write in articles to BUST or other sources that occasionally take mailed submission essays. Otherwise, your colloquial if hard learned definitions will just be squabbled over on wikipedia pages? It's hard to see the furry lifestyler page as anything but a lazy persons publisher. Lotusduck 22:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Just to make this clear, I don't oppose the deletion of the furry lifestyler article, I just think it should be mentioned in the furry fandom article that there are people that call themselves "lifestylers". I do think that quite some stuff should be moved over to WikiFur, but that doesn't mean that we're not to allowed to mention these things anymore, IMHO. --Conti|✉ 22:43, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

You should perhaps re-think your vote then, because it may be taken as a merge and redirect and in that sense, as a keep vote. If you really just think a little of the info should be on furry fandom, then the appropriate action would be to add that content to furry fandom and then change your vote to delete.Lotusduck 21:33, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Adding content from one page to the other and then making a redirect of the one page is exactly what a merge is, as far as I know. I think there should be a redirect, people might just search for "furry lifestyler", and it doesn't hurt to direct them in the right direction if we can. --Conti|✉ 21:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

If you're gonna add info onto the furry fandom page, go ahead and get started. Of course, I'd put a citation needed tag on it, and after a while probably take it out, because all of the content on furry lifestyler encourages by example the interpretation of stuff from forums and newsgroups as valid for adding to wikipedia.Lotusduck 22:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm seriously wondering why you do not nominate Furry fandom for deletion. All references are selfpublished, everything is more or less original research. --Conti|✉ 22:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

No, there's actually a couple of news stories cited, as I recall. It appears that the page is not uncited because sources are hard to come by, but because some editors find they can say whatever they want if there aren't verifiable sources to work from. The topic itself is not unverifiable, even if much of the content on the article is and will have to be gradually phased out. It is, I admit, odd that there's a page for the fandom of a genre of comics, films etcetera, but no page for that genre itself.Lotusduck 22:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I can't see any refereces that would be accepted by WP:RS on Furry fandom. Actually, some of what is now on the furry fandom article once was at Furry, but it was discussed there a while ago to make disambiguation page out of Furry, simply because there's no simple definition of that term. I opposed that move, but I was in the minority back then. Since then, many Wikipedians have asked this question. Might be worth to start the discussion about recreating Furry again. --Conti|✉ 22:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

By the way: Please read Misplaced Pages:Verifiability#Self-published sources in articles about themselves carefully. Self-published sources are ok under certain circumstances, and I do think that the furry fandom article and others can have self-published sources, like they do have now, without violating any policies. --Conti|✉ 23:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not reverse my deletions without discussion. Arbcom has defined such activities as wheel waring and quite unaceptable. I'd hate to see you desysopped. Thanks. --Doc 00:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Question about subspace changes you made

WHich username do you go by in game?

I am wondering why you you removed the client download links from the subspace wiki I added?

It should be on the page. SubSpace is a free game, and by having the downloads like i did it alllows for new users to get acess faster.....

Furry fandom and contentious edits

Hey. I imagine you're following the drama of the anonymous IP constantly reverting this article to place contentious and incorrect information into it.. he's been at it again tonight, and I'm at a loss as to what to do about it. I even pointed out why his "sources" are not good sources, and was ignored and reverted again. Do you have any thoughts? It's really wearing on my patience. Tony Fox (speak) 05:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I think he just broke 3RR, too, but I haven't the time to deal with it any further tonight. Please take a look when you get the chance. Thanks. Tony Fox (speak) 05:43, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that happens from time to time. Reverting him and telling him why his edits aren't helpful is probably the best thing. If there's a 3RR breach involved, you can report it at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR. I'm currently somewhat busy, learning for an exam, so I won't do much more than watch the whole thing for a few days. --Conti|✉ 14:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

That's fine - it was mostly frustration last night that had me looking for help. Real life is definitely more important, and I'm sure the other folks watching the article can keep it managed for now. Doesn't seem to get the message at all, unfortunately, judging from a look at his user contributions. Ah, well. Tony Fox (speak) 18:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Darn it, now I started to discussus there nonetheless. :) I think it turned out to be much more productive than any other discussion I had with anons over there yet. --Conti|✉ 23:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Could someone please archive the furry fandom talk page? Maybe everything 2005 and earlier gets archived. I'm not quite sure how. The page is slow to load. DyslexicEditor 23:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I was just thinking about doing this. There isn't anything special to it, just copy&paste the stuff that you want to archive into a new article and save it there, and link to it from the talk page. --Conti|✉ 23:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Why you deleted my link?

I see there http://en.wikipedia.org/Zoophilia link to bookstore site <Dr. Hani Miletski's Page information on survey and research work on zoosexuality, prologue provided for future book published on work.> You should read careful the rules especially this: 8. Bookstore sites; instead, use the "ISBN" linking format, which gives readers an opportunity to search a wide variety of free and non-free book sources.

I`m waiting for the answer!!!

User:Zver

I see these rules disallow bookstore sites in rule: "What should not be linked". But you allow this link to online shop.

Please ban Dr. Righteous

Dr. Righteous when you started editing the fursecution vandal stopped. Dr. Righteous created an account purely to make edits on this article that others disageed with. I believe Dr. Righteous is the fursecution vandal.

Also he does 3RR violations DyslexicEditor 13:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I also would like to lodge an official complaint against DyslexicEditor. He added POV statements to the furry fandom page, which I justly edited out. He reverted the page without waiting the 15 seconds it took me to put my comments on the talk page. He suckered me into an edit war, gambling that I did not know about the 3 edit rule. Then, instead of addressing my comments, he started a smear campaign against me. This does seem to be a certain violation of many rules. I think he at least deserves a reprimand. Dr. Righteous 20:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I see. So Dr. Righteous going after me and harrassing me by reverting me no matter what I write, stressing me out a lot, was I do was some master plan of mine? DyslexicEditor 22:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
