Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:37, 3 March 2015

Note: if I've made a clearly bad block, such as something that appears to be vandalism at first glance but actually has a good explanation, please unblock without waiting for me to come back online. If it's something less clear, please at least get consensus on AN/I first. Thanks.

I was not being offensive: reply of a warning

"You could warn me, but my mortification on the terrible bullying I'm receiving from that user is so obnoxious and corrupt."

This is what I said. Now, as you could see, I referred to the bullying, not the user, that was obnoxious (dangerously annoying) and corrupt (unfair). How could this be a personal offense? I have not insulted the user, I have simply described the user's bullying. Maybe it was grammar confusion, but this is how it goes:

"You could warn me, but my mortification on the terrible bullying (I'm receiving from that user) is so obnoxious and corrupt."

Is it still an offense now? HanSangYoon (talk) 04:30, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I understand the distinction you're trying to draw here, but in my experience, it's not a valid one. It's not possible to refer to an editor's "bullying" as corrupt without passing an implicit judgement on the editor themselves. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:40, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

How come there's no warning for Walruss?

@SarekOfVulcan:, please check this:

"Your arguments are full of holes, and they continue to show a closed-minded ignorance of Misplaced Pages editing concepts (see WP:Other stuff exists for example), but I am through wasting my time arguing with you. "
I find this statement pretty offensive. Isn't there supposed to be a warning towards Walruss?? HanSangYoon (talk) 17:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

It's a bit blunt, but I don't think it rises to the level of a personal attack. Making fun of someone's username, though, as you did twice above, could be considered one, though. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:03, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Done. Cheers =) --slakr 21:18, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

UTRS

I noticed that you had an active UTRS account, but it was made inactive after your admin bit was removed. Now that you are back in our cozy little cabal, I have reactivated your UTRS account as a matter of procedure (since there is no reason for it to be inactive anymore). You are free to use it actively, when needed, or not at all. :) ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 04:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. :-) Now I have to remember how to use the dratted thing. :-) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 05:01, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Or not, as you see fit. You had zero closed appeals even during your first admin term, nothing's forcing you to take on more now. UTRS access is just useful every once in a while if you need to read an appeal. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 05:43, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Thanks for the addition to my talk page. Here is a beer because it must get pretty hot on your planet! GeorgeLouis (talk) 17:45, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

The reason why I reverted the route map for Busan Metro Line 1

1) The route map is inaccurate. There are stations on the map that shows there is going to be a route to the north- no official announcements has been made for that section- even a consideration. Also, the southern extension's names are not official yet; the image is clearly off.

2) That image shows no aboveground or underground information unlike the route map. There is also no way to add on structures and details that is along or on the route.

3) The article has been worsened with replacing a more functional, same route map with a less functional one- this means the image insertion is a degradation. Terramorphous and I have made this map (along with another user), so we are accurate on what we made.

• SarekOfVulcan, just letting you know that I have raised this at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:HanSangYoon reported by User:ColonialGrid (Result: ). ColonialGrid (talk) 05:48, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
• The bit about the north and south extensions is a valid concern: I've created a derivative work at File:Busan Metro Line 1 Map.png that only incorporates the current stations and will replace the map in the article. Can anybody speak to the accuracy of the map itself, given that there doesn't appear to be any source given? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 12:52, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

  Ah, this is helpful. The northern section appears to be a railway connector, rather than part of the line itself. And the map as drawn appears to match up fairly well with the map at that link. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:08, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Puzzling AN3 complaint

Please see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:HanSangYoon reported by User:ColonialGrid (Result: ). If you know anything about this dispute, could you add some information to the AN3 complaint? Passing admins may not want to close it because it's too mystifying. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 18:17, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Since I was one of the editors HanSangYoon reverted, I have no comment as to the merits of the complaint at this time. I do note that he self-reverted his last edit, though. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:30, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry

I'm sorry about the loss of Spock.--198.201.23.10 (talk) 19:19, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I doubt I ever saw any first-run episodes, but the reruns were a large part of my childhood... --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:56, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Sad event indeed. Well, I suppose Spock Mk II is still around. Or is he 'Alt Spock' or 'Nu Spock'? --220 of 07:39, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Quick note

Thanks for your note; I've responded. Nyttend (talk) 03:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Didn't get it.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:32, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

I used Special:Emailuser, so it went to the address you've put in Special:Preferences. I got the normal "email sent" screen, so I don't think I made any mistakes. Nyttend (talk) 05:12, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Worked that time. *shrug* --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 05:27, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

I was trying to do the same

but kept getting e/c'd. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:23, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

I had the same problem. :-) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:24, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Protest against heavy-handed blocking of the Bitcoin article.

In my opinion your two week block of the Bitcoin page is rather heavy-handed. Spock would not have approved. Kraainem (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kraainem (talk • contribs) 19:46, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Surely you can block the editor/s doing the harm? You have God-like blocking powers, don´t you? And you certainly do use your absolute blocking powers like the God of Blocking! So, use your Godly blocking powers on the culprit editor/s. Can you not? Don´t tell me you are, in fact, impotent in blocking them? I would never believe you. Why block the article? That looks really stupid to me. You seem to have lost your logic ability as a result of being the God of Blocking . #IamCharlie Kraainem (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kraainem (talk • contribs) 21:49, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Blocking IPs is frequently not effective - it's too easy to jump to the next one. Semi-protection is more effective. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:08, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Kraainem (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kraainem (talk • contribs) 22:19, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

String or Precusision

You win this round Sarek. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aedw3089 (talk • contribs) 03:24, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

It's not about winning. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 03:30, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Edit to William Shatner

Hi SarkeOfVulcan,

The IRS relates directly to the parodied video that Shatner commented on in his tweet. Hope this information helps

SocialMediaSlaveSocialmediaslave (talk) 19:47, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but what you added indicates that it's a parody of Trek in general, rather than Shatner in particular. Therefore, I don't think it belongs in his article. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Spock, Sarek, Vulcan, whatever your real name is... My wording is not a threat, it is reality. This is the 3rd time in two years I have legitimately tried to respectfully correct slanderous comments from a Misplaced Pages site against our business. One of your administrators has already agreed to remove the wording that some anonymous poster keeps returning to the site. I will leave the management of your site to you and the other "administrators" or experts. We are a private company with employees who are proud of what they do. Calling them pirates, looters and thieves in a factual section of your site is slander. I know, I have spoke to our lawyers. They told me to attempt to change it one last time. As I said, if the content is removed, facts are clearly defined in the proper sections, and opinions are simply that, opinions, then I retract my threat of legal action at this time.
