Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:16, 19 July 2007

READ THIS FIRST!

From January 1st, I will not answer your messages in a constructive manner unless you let me know in some shape or form you have read the following. So don't complain if you receive a sarcastic jab just because you didn't say "I've read your notice".

More likely than not, you're here to comment about my stance regarding the Esperanza MFD.

Before you do, let me first let you know that my comments provided during the MFD are made solely on my interpretation of facts and truths seen by detailed reading, rather than letting my emotions cloud judgment.

I for one, don't embed subliminal messages through linking by telling you to kindly read facts - that's ridiculous and even I try to avoid it except when I'm trying to be cordial. If it was up to me, I would have WP:DICK gone in an instant because of the way people misuse it. Rather, I try to be as cordial as possible without looking like a clown. I would say "Please read the nom and WP:NOT" - no subliminal messaging, no flaming, nothing of that sort. People tell me I'm nasty and harassing for presenting cold information; they obviously haven't seen the worst of Misplaced Pages.

Remember, assume good faith, be civil, be cool, be detailed, and don't stuff beans up your nose.--WaltCip 02:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for the support on the Fascist category page, your statement is very true and to the point. Usually I would not be so "riled up" about such things as categories but I'm sick and tired of playing the black sheep to everyone's narrow-minded mentality. Thanks again though.

Personal attack warning

Please do not randomly label other editors "aristocrats" - it comes across as a violation of WP:CIVIL. Accusing two good-faith editors with a long history of good contributions of sockpuppetry is most unwise and is a nasty violation of WP:AGF. If you still harbour doubts about the validity of the votes of myself and Folantin, then please take up the case at WP:RFCU. Thank you. Moreschi 14:08, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and one more thing. Any more behaviour like that and I will have no hesitation in posting at the Misplaced Pages:Personal attack intervention noticeboard and/or lodging a WP:RFC. Thank you. Moreschi 14:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm fully aware of the issue, and as you can see on the Poetry discussion, I have apologized. This is not the kind of message that I like to wake up to in the morning, thanks.--WaltCip 15:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Cao Yang Middle School (2nd nomination) - why did you use a different user name to nominate the article and similarly with other schools? JoshuaZ 21:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow, you've got guts to sling around sock puppet accusations like that, especially in my personal Talk page. I do NOT use a sock puppet (you can run a user check on me if you want). When I said, "I take offense to being blatantly named a sockpuppet," I did NOT say "I am a sockpuppet." I am not a sockpuppet, nor do I willingly conform to or condone the activities of a sockpuppet. Read WP:AGF carefully, and the next time you want to throw mud, look before doing so, or I'll have the admins on you in a flash.--WaltCip 21:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

And so the reason the article was actually nominated by User:Puerto De La Cruz is because...? JoshuaZ 00:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

The exact reason that he stated: verifiability. What's your point? --WaltCip 00:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

So the nomination was made by your sock. Could you explain why you choose to use a sock?JoshuaZ 01:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Call me a sock one more time and I'm taking this to the Misplaced Pages:Personal attack intervention noticeboard. I'm not a sock, I'm voting just like everyone else.--WaltCip 01:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

So is User:Puerto De La Cruz you or not? JoshuaZ 01:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Puerto De La Cruz is NOT me.--WaltCip 01:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

So why did you say this? JoshuaZ 01:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Because I felt offended by being referred to as a mere sock puppet rather than an actual person. Plus, an accusation of sock puppetry is a violation of WP:AGF - kind of like what you're borderlining right now. Furthermore, I was citing the reason the article was to be deleted - WP:V.--WaltCip 01:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Um, what makes you think he was referring to you? He was reffering to the nominator being a sock. That should be obvious from the context. JoshuaZ 01:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

If that's the case, it's my mistake. But the deletion was legitimate, and saying "this is part of massive sockpuppet nominations" seemed to, I thought, refer to everyone who voted Delete.--WaltCip 01:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Regarding "accusations of sockpuppetry"

I wasn't accusing anyone of being a sockpuppet, merely that I found it interesting they were automatically voting on nom's AfDs. I also took heat from that, so WP:AGF for me too :) -- See (1) (2) --JStalk 05:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Word association

Well, the difference between "no consensus" and "keep" is pretty much semantics, because the result in both cases is exactly the same. Consensus doesn't mean "the debate is unfinished", it means there's no real agreement but people should agree to disagree since the nomination is now closed.

The reason I listed this as "no consensus" is because I considered the four "sandbox" nominations together; the argumentation for and against deletion of all four of them is pretty much the same, and several of the commenters are also the same. The four as a whole don't show anything much of a consensus, hence I closed all four in the same way. But since this is mostly semantics I wouldn't mind changing it to 'keep' if that makes you happy.

You've got to be kidding

Found this on the AFD for the Half Life 1 mods.

"The result was delete, despite sockpuppetry. Not one valid 'keep' vote. Proto::type 16:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)"

Founded on what? Did you user check every person who supported the keep for the nom? My keep vote was valid and not based on sockpuppetry. A mass majority of keeps was collected, and yet, you found it fit to declare that the debate, out of process, was a successful deletion. What do you intend? This, I believe, is a violation of WP:ASG and Misplaced Pages deletion policy. Rethink your actions seriously. In the meantime I'm putting the AfD up for review.--WaltCip 21:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

No, the keeps were not valid. I didn't mean to imply this was because they were all from sockpuppets. They were just not based on policy, or even guidelines, just variations on the theme of 'I like this, it is useful'. Please, do take your query to Misplaced Pages:Deletion review.

Sorry

My apologies for wasting your time by creating the nonsense category Wikipedians who stop the cars and wave in the children. Please accept this peace dove.

A friendly reminder

Hi

WaltCip, I've answered you on my talkpage. Having a quick look through your contribs, I'm struggling to see any mainspace work. Maybe that's why my comment upset you so. Check out this page. There are tons of suggestions and links on it. Maybe you'll find a way that you can be more constructive. Happy holidays. Grace Note 02:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hello Walt, I don't believe we've met before. In any case, I'd like to thank you for complimenting my vote in the Esperanza MFD. It's great when another friendly voice like yourself shines through such an emotionally charged situation. Many thanks again, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 20:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Your userboxes

Hi, WaltCip, I have adjusted your userboxes to show up, as their name changed after the userbox migration. Have a nice day! bibliomaniac15 01:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Word Disassociation

I saw your comment on the talk page for Word Association. If you are interested, I have revived the Word disassociation game. There is a link on the regular WA page. Squad51 18:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Esperanza

I don't think that the deletion review on Esperanza should be speedy closed. I see a need in the project, and you are right about its old counterparts becoming seperate projects; but I want to make it into a more encyclopedia encourging project; plus many of esperanza's old projects were deleted. Which I too want back. I think people should show pride for wikipedia. Eaomatrix 14:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Just a note in re the {{spa}} tag

Noticing on the Super Mario Bros Z AFD, you've put your signature after the spa tag. This seems to obfuscate things a touch, and makes the post look like yours. I'm not sure it's necessary to sign those. Just sayin'. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Smile

Although we have different views on the suicide DRV, but I think a smile would prevent the differing opinions to escalate to personal level :-) When the heated debate subsides, everything would return to normal. I've tried to reach a compromise in the suicide controversy, by creating User:Wooyi/sdissues, you can go take a look and see it's acceptable. I've contacted Cyde Weys but he has not responded to the compromise yet. Regards. Wooyi 19:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Wooyi has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Waste of time

First of all WAltCIp who would waste there time just being on wikipedia to discuse if categories should be deleted or stay respectivly. That is a waste of time. Next I did read your thing fisrt up top. Finaly agian it is a waste of time. No offense. Hope I did not hurt your feelings just hoped a little advice may help.Hpsander456 21:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
