Hello

Hi. How did you do in the exams? --Bhadani (talk) 13:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Passed all of them. Got B+ in two. :) — Nearly Headless Nick 13:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
It is fine that you passed all of them and Got B+ in two papers. What about others? --Bhadani (talk) 13:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
C+ in Managerial Accountancy, C in Contract Act - I (barely passed, *phew*). — Nearly Headless Nick 13:32, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Though I congratulate you on your passing the exams, I would suggest you to concentrate more on your studies. What are your papers in the next term? Perhaps, i shall be able to give some suggestions - after all, decades before Bhadani was also a student :) --Bhadani (talk) 13:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
B+ is considered super awesome at my college. Anything above 50 is god's domain. :) — Nearly Headless Nick 13:39, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Is it so? Ok. Fine. What are the papers in the next term? I am a bit curious. --Bhadani (talk) 13:40, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Continuous evalutation every week + Mid semesters (in two months) + Finals (in four months) + project and paper submissions. — Nearly Headless Nick 13:42, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Archimedes

Hi, thanks for closing the discussion and deleting the article and talk page, but what about Talk:Archimedes Plutonium/Archive 1? Shouldn't that be part of the deletion as well, especially given the reasons for deletion that most people voiced in the discussion? Thanks. ElinorD (talk) 13:43, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Terminated. — Nearly Headless Nick 13:44, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. ElinorD (talk) 13:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

DYK

Do You Know? I am enjoying myself at Autism and Diabetes. The place is free of stress and one can silently work - life in small wikis are different than the stress of wikipedia. --Bhadani (talk) 13:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I somehow enjoy the challenge this place provides me. — Nearly Headless Nick 13:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Everyone has a definition of enjoyment. After all, happiness is a state of mind. --Bhadani (talk) 13:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
BTW, I have not left wikipedia completely. I will come back whenever I feel so. --Bhadani (talk) 13:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes, we should take a break when we feel stressed and not continue "Macbeth-style" (in the words of morven). Remember, no one leaves Misplaced Pages (words of freakofnurture). — Nearly Headless Nick 14:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Flood geology

It may be just a misunderstanding, but my revert is explained on Talk:Flood geology. I hope that satisfies your concerns. If not, let me know. --ScienceApologist 14:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

A. Pu deletion vote #3

Re: your closing debate and deleting on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Archimedes Plutonium (third nomination). Note: I voted to keep, but am quite content to see deletion if that is the consensus. However, I count 15 votes to keep, 11 votes to delete, and 4 votes to merge or redirect. That didn't look like a consensus for deletion to me. Am I missing something? Puzzled, -- Infrogmation 14:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

That is because you are counting votes. — Nearly Headless Nick 14:53, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. However I fear I remain unilluminated by it. Is there anything related to this which I might find informative which you'd care to share? Cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
AfDs are not supposed to be !votes. We are consensus driven, and not a democracy. Consensus can exist only within the purview of policy. Everything, including my rationale of closure, based on weighing the discussions of both side, is available on the AfD page. Best, — Nearly Headless Nick 15:03, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Archimedes Plutonium

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Archimedes Plutonium. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Barberio 16:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Abuse of CSD A7

I object strenuously to the speedy deletion of Karen Leigh King under a category of Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. Since when is a Harvard professor an unremarkable person? Did you actually examine the linkst to the page before deleting it? Charles Matthews 16:45, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I apologise for the inconvenience caused. — Nearly Headless Nick 06:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Sir_Nicholas

With great thanks for deleting the page that was created about me, and on which people created controversy on to attack me. I was impressed that the wiki community stepped in to make things right with a user with an agenda to spray slanderous paint. Also note that the user who sparked this Rwilco201 continues to post the original article on his user page - to rebel against the wiki editors who told him to delete it, and to continue with his/her initial objective of promoting a non-accepted slanderous article from a tabloid - do users ever get deleted? He/she really concerns me, based on the history of the posts, and his subtle, but clever ways to continue pushing his/her agenda. Should I delete anything on my user page? Should we delete my user account? I would be ok with that, as well. Please advise. Mitchthrower 17:05, 9 June 2007 (UTC) -Mitch Thrower

I have deleted the GFDL violation on Rwilco201's page as well. — Nearly Headless Nick 05:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Andy, I noticed you added a fair-use rationale to the above image. I have added {{Replaceable fair use}} tag to the above image. If you dispute the tag, please feel free to discuss it on the image talk page. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 20:11, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I have deleted the image. Thanks. — Nearly Headless Nick 05:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Australian Catholics magazine entry deleted

Dear si nick, you deleted the Australian Catholics magazine entry with what authority? The entry is regardnig a magazine that has a CAB-audited national circulation of 200,000 in australia. It is a not insignificant magazine. Furthermore, the entry was written by the editor himself, so the entries are VERIFIABLE. I will thank you for not deleting it again.

Spam if I ever saw it.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

HmmRyūlóng (竜龍) 07:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
First of all, it wasn't A7. It was G11. And secondly, I don't appreciate the userfying of the spam article. If he does not edit outside of that page, I will reblock him.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:00, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi there! :)

Dear, I see you blocked User:Spoolintsi for 24 hours due to sockpuppetry, but after you blocked, I added further information to his CU case. In the last hours, he created yet another sock and also posted under his IP, making at least 7 different trolling edits to WP:RFPP and vandalized Karrmann's userpage. Just letting you know about the aggravating circumstances present in this case, which combined with his previous use of socks might make the 24 hours a little too soft in this case. What do you think? love, Phaedriel - 10:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

It's all upto you Phaedriel. :) — Nearly Headless Nick 11:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I didn't want to undo your actions without your permission, sweetie ;) Have a beautiful day! Phaedriel - 11:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Utopia

Would you please explain what the problem with the image was, bearing in mind the discussion on Talk:Utopia (Doctor Who)?--Rambutan (talk) 11:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

WP:NFCC. — Nearly Headless Nick 11:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
So, the talkpage consensus that it was OK with NFCC doesn't exist?--Rambutan (talk) 12:10, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Consensus does not trump policy. Discussion underway – . — Nearly Headless Nick 12:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
See the Utopia talkpage.--Rambutan (talk) 12:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment

Hello Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington. If you take a look on the users talk page, it says that he can be blocked without further warning. I believe that if a user gets a warning like that, and he decides to vandalise again, he should be blocked from editing. When warning editors I believe they should get warning 2,3, the 4, but as I said above, if they vandalise after they get a warning that says they may be blocked without further warning, I think they should be blocked. Have a nice week and God bless:)--James, La gloria è a dio 13:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Hi! yes I am devastated with all those non-free use messages. I did not know I uploaded so many controversial images! Only for two or three I cared to provide some fair-use rationale (those which in fact have some rationale). Otherwise, I let it PWN me...--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Tim and Chris Stamper

Hi. I notice that you deleted the article Tim and Chris Stamper citing the fact that there were articles for both of them. However the seperate articles were redirects which have now also been deleted by another user because they had nothing to redirect to. The content history of the these articles is presumably now lost. Please be more careful when deleting apparent doubles. Miremare 02:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

They were duplicate pages and GFDL violations. — Nearly Headless Nick 05:28, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
That's the point - the other two articles weren't duplicate pages, they were redirects to the article you deleted. Thankfully there wasn't a great deal of content in the article but what was there will now have to be redone. Like I said, you really should check that apparent doubles aren't redirects before deleting stuff. Cheers, Miremare 18:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Also, I did not write the article (it was merged from the previous Tim Stamper (game artist) and Chris Stamper articles, but I copy edited it and changed various bits, so I'd be quite interested to know what the GFDL violation was. Miremare 18:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for blocking 222.153.71.243 for his constant blanking of user pages. Did you see the new garbage at the bottom of his talk page?

What do you want me to do about it? Powerfulmind 23:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Is this better? Powerfulmind Powerfultalk Powerfuledits 23:19, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Still awful. :) — Nearly Headless Nick 12:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Nicholas

What does your username "Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington" Stand for? How come it doesn't say that in your signature? King Lopez 09:22, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Stop trolling lol, just kidding. You can read about this literary character, right here – Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington. Cheers! — Nearly Headless Nick 09:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

That's a interesting story. I requested that Riana will talk to CSCWEM about that trolling thing. Cheers! King Lopez 09:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Reversion on omelette

I just thought it was a little harsh on a new user to revert those edits. I've put them back and added references. I think it would have been more constructive to tag them with a {{fact}} tag, and give him (or someone else) the opportunity to add citations! Owain.davies 09:37, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Agree. Sorry about that. :) — Nearly Headless Nick 09:38, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Very funny

... bunghole ;p Neil  10:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Ha ha. Wilful violations of Misplaced Pages's WP:NPOV policy. :) — Nearly Headless Nick 10:45, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Kuntan IP resurfaces

Hi.

A little while ago, I left some info on your talk page about suspected socks of kuntan (here in your archive #14).

At that stage, I raised the issue of an IP address being used, 202.41.72.100 (talk · contribs). After going quiet for a while following the account blocks, it appears that this editor has decided to reappear and continue in the same disruptive behaviour as before (eg ), but as far as I am aware, they are presently only using the IP address and not more sockpuppet accounts.

While there have previously been claims that it is a shared IP, I've looked at the contribs and suspect that if it is shared at all, very little has ever been contributed by anyone but kuntan. I note that it has previously been blocked. Is it possible to do something a little longer lasting about this IP? Thanks --AliceJMarkham 11:18, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

  • What, we're going to bet on how long between the block expiring and me coming back whinging again? My random guess is about 3 to 5 days unless they finally give up. :) --AliceJMarkham 13:22, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
