Thank you for your recent AIV report on {{user|82.132.138.200}}. After reviewing the IP`s contributions, I am not sure why you listed it as being a "spambot or a compromised account." Any light you could shed on this would be appreciated. Thanks, ] (]) 16:32, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

::You get points for honesty. Thanks! But that said, please do not be lazy when making AIV reports, because it made me waste time checking out the IP`s other contributions looking for "spambot" or "compromised account" activity when I could have just blocked the IP for NPA violations after seeing the first diff.

Space music

I'm sorry to see you've closed the case. If it's any consolation, I suspect Milomedes would have deliberately objected to any mediator, so don't take it personally. Anyway, thanks for making an attempt. There's no need to reply, as I want you to maintain your neutrality. But I did want you to know that your effort is greatly appreciated. I was actually going to take the case myself but declined for this very reason. Viriditas (talk) 08:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind words. All I can say is that Milo objected to me personally, and the other users have elected to pursue other methods of DR. So it goes. //roux   08:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


"I suspect Milomedes would have deliberately objected to any mediator"
Viriditas, you really need to work on your AGF. Since I have mediation skills, I have high standards for mediators. Surprised? See my "Wiki Wiffle Bat" barnstar-like small mediation award: #Wisdom shown should always be rewarded.
"going to take the case myself"
Of course I would have declined you (also), but not because I would have declined anyone. I looked over the MedCab mediators page, and I'd say the best choice for Space music would have been the one or two that specialize in near-hopeless cases.
Mediators need to be as uninvolved and neutral as possible. You became heavily involved with one side at Space music, and would have added another COI to what is already a tough non-profit-commercial WP:COI case.
Since a mediator must know policies and guiderules as well as an admin, they should also consider going to admin school even if they don't plan to become admins.
You aren't my good buddy, but I don't dislike you, and we do have a lot of culture in common. Milo 11:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

The only hopeless case here is you, Milo. Your longterm ceaseless trolling, endless bad faith personal attacks, repeated false COI accusations and incessant tendentious obstructionism are finally coming to an end. I warned you 2 years ago it would come to this; now all your chickens are coming home to roost. And there are a lot of chickens. Best you go find yourself a new hobby. --Gene_poole (talk) 04:50, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Gentlemen, I would appreciate it greatly if your disputes were not carried out on my talkpage. Please note that is directed at both of you; I am singling no one out here. //roux   06:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Notice of request for deletion of editor Roux :)

Roux, the editor you are, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that you satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space. Your opinions on yourself are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at User:GlassCobra/Editor for deletion#Roux and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit during the discussion but should not remove the nomination (unless you wish not to participate); such removal will not end the deletion discussion (actually it will). Thank you, and have a good sense of humor :). iMatthew 01:58, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

About your design

I would just like you to know that your talk and user pages are the best-designed that I've seen on Misplaced Pages thus far. That DON'T PANIC cat is also awesome. ←Spidern→ 15:59, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Scroll and Key "notables"

The box is an eyesore. Could you soon do better? SLY111 (talk) 16:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)SLY111

An anon IP did that; I didn't want to just revert him/her again. But yeah, it's been a couple weeks since they did anything, and never bothered to respond on the talkpage, so I'll fix it. //roux   16:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

copyvio tag

An undoubted copyvio is where the material was added at one time by one person from a known source that you can specify. If you have not found the source, use the "copypaste" tag. Knowledge organization (management) , for all you know, might be copied from a PD source. DGG (talk) 15:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

turns out the situation is just a little different than I had guessed -- see my talk p., and my note to the author. DGG (talk) 19:51, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Tyler on AN/I (Your comment)

I appreciate what you said on the AN/I I posted about Tyler, however, this appeared to be a case of a user's actions putting another user's work on Wiki in jeopardy, by posting an offensive messsage on their userpage and sending it to them by email. This was, imho, a serious case involving an onwiki action (at least until I found out Tyler'd been taking the ****). I won't do it anymore, simply cause I don't want stuff like this to happen anymore. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 15:41, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Silly permissions

Further, Falcadore you may not be aware of this, but the creator of a page is not permitted to remove CSD tags from that page. I would like to know just how I might have been aware of it, and bear in mind there are a lot of WP documents, policies and guidelines, making it intimidating large amount of material for any new editor to read and be familiar with. I don't mind the verdict, but I do mind how it was done.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, what the author is or is not entitled to do is not stated sufficiently clearly. The annotation for CSD should more clearly indicate this. --Falcadore (talk) 05:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Technical Problem

Hey there, I would like to divert your attention to one article "Shahid Masood", this article is not showing some of the sections which are present in the editing tab but not shown in the normal preview of the article. Plz have a look at this article and help correct it if you can. Regards.BurhanAhmed (talk • contribs) 08:37, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Request for input

Hello Roux. You had initially brought up the idea of a topic ban on Shutterbug (talk · contribs) and related accounts, in a WP:ANI thread that was later moved to WP:AE. As a result of Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/COFS, all Scientology-related articles are under Article probation, so technically according to Misplaced Pages:Article_probation#Types_of_sanctions any administrator may carry out the topic ban. However WP:BAN is clear this should be decided by uninvolved administrator(s): The Arbitration Committee may delegate the authority to ban a user, such as by authorizing discretionary sanctions in certain topic areas, which can be imposed by any uninvolved administrator. You are not an admin, but you were the original uninvolved editor to bring up the idea of an indef topic ban. Would appreciate your further input in this matter. Thank you, Cirt (talk) 21:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


Your vote on Cool Hand Luke

Dear Roux, I noticed your vote statement on Cool Hand Luke, and I just wanted to encourage you not to blanket-oppose somebody just because they have a Misplaced Pages Review account. While I myself do not have one, I know many pillars of our community do-- New York Brad comes to mind as a shining example of someone who, I think, has used that forum from time to time for meta-discussions.

I've never spoken to Luke before the elections, I don't know him that well, I'm not writing you here on his behalf. I just notice that some very "battleground"-esque people have targeted Luke and are making some very intense accusations against him. Before his name was dragged through the mud, Luke was almost unopposed, a veritable shoo-in for election. Now, he's not.

Roux--if you think the accusations are true, if you've investigated them and are convinced Cool Hand Luke has acted improperly, then obviously, you have to oppose.

But please, don't oppose just because of innuendo, bold accusations, or generic labels of "drama" or "bad associations". Don't make the decision based upon a question like "Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of WR". Don't let a tiny minority of users, through grandiose statements of mudslinging, sink an otherwise untarnished candidate. I don't think that's the kind of project we want.

Anyway, thanks for listening to this ranting. :) --Alecmconroy (talk) 22:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I figured. I want to be clear, I wasn't saying you were voting that way, I just wanted to be sure. Truth be told, you've probably know the candidates and their stories better than I do, so no worries. :) Cheers! --Alecmconroy (talk)

Thank you for participating in my RfA

I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for taking the time and effort to participate in my recent RfA. As you may know, the discussion closed 66/0/1 and I'm now a holder of the mop. I will keep working to improve the encyclopedia and appreciate the trust which you have placed in me. - Dravecky (talk) 00:12, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Quick question...

I know that requests for comment can be used on a Talk page of an article or user, but is it acceptable to do so on a WP:AE? I'd like to get some uninvolved opinions for the Scientology-related thread for which you suggested a topic ban. ←Spidern→ 05:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

WP:DoTTR

I fail to see why you think this needs to be posted to ANI at this point. ANI is too busy as it is. Your concern would be put to better use if you tried to help solving the issue right there. --dab (𒁳) 18:17, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

removing self-categorization

I greatly appreciate your help in removing self-categorization from categories. I wonder if you'd be interested in taking your efforts a step further and supplying one or more parent categories in cases where the self-cat was the only parent. Best wishes, -- Stepheng3 (talk) 00:08, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
