User:Evilphoenix/status

are polls evil?

True. But this particular poll is not particularly helpful, for a variety of reasons. Radiant_>|< 02:22, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello--I am already messing around with the Userboxes and other fun things--Misplaced Pages as MySpace!:P

Clemson University T-shirts are really cool. My dad was traveling over there and got me one, I get lots of good feedback when I wear it.

Greetings!

Well alright then, hope you enjoy yourself. If you ever have any questions let me know. Ëvilphoenix 07:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, you're down as being an an active cabalist. Is that still true? There are plenty of cases awaiting mediator response, please drop by if you can! Dan100 (Talk) 10:56, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Man that took me a second to translate....but yeah. I'm willing to participate, but I have a policy against seeking out controversial issues to mediate on, I have enough of them come my way as is. That being said, I added myself there to let people know I was willing to help, and I still am, but basically I have to be asked...not trying to be snobby, I just try to only get involved where I'm asked to intercede, if that makes sense.

I encourage you to thoroughly read the comments on the discussion for my RFC. Actually, dont even read the comments, just read the section headers. Then you will understand that this is not a content dispute. I have tried to get this point across, but people just dont listen. freestylefrappe 11:34, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I have been reviewing the discussion, and I have already posted my comment. Your actions as an Administrator were out of line. You do not understand the requirements and responsibilities of Adminship, and looking at your actual RfA, I disagree with the closing of it and don't think you should have ever been promoted. You need to learn how to appropriately serve in your role as an Administrator and an editor. Ëvilphoenix 19:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Gov_Bredsen.jpg

Was there a specific reason this image was deleted, other than the fact that Scott Fisher uploaded it? I know Scott Fisher is a notorious vanity hound, but that particular image was worked out as a compromise after I carefully explained all the Misplaced Pages guidelines to him. Has he reverted back to his old habits? Kaldari 15:43, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I deleted all of his uploaded images, basically because he lied about the provenance of so many images, I felt that we could not be certain that any of his images were not in fact copyrighted, and therefore we could not afford to keep them on the Encyclopedia. It didn't really have anything to do with his vanity, just the legality of the images. Unfortunately, some images that were probably ok went with that, but I did run through quite a number that were obviously still going to be copyright violations. I'm sorry if that ended up throwing out the baby with the bathwater, but if you yourself have a copy of the image I'd welcome you to re-upload it. Ëvilphoenix 19:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Interesting, I was rooting around trying to find a reference to what he was referring to. They circled for several hours to burn off fuel, why not just go where they were going to burn off fuel instead? *shrugs*. Ëvilphoenix 05:23, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

BDAbramson's RfA

Hi - I just wanted to drop by and thank you for supporting my RfA. I'll do my best as an admin to help the dream of Misplaced Pages become the reality. Cheers! BDAbramson T 22:42, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Bout damn time too. :-P Ëvilphoenix 22:44, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for being level-headed

I'll post my last comments now. Key words are "fought as a unit in battle." As a military man, I can assure you that the citadel folks are trying to say that they had cadets fight in battles, and that is fine. That the citadel had cadets fight in battles is not being disputed. "Fighting as a unit" is different altogether. Dozens of schools had students fight in various battles in the Civil War, that was the nature of the war. Only one school fought as a unit in combat, ever...and that's VMI. Sorry for being heated (I'm a South Carolinian myself) but I continually see citadel folks latch onto VMI in virtually every regard, and they are definitely stretching the truth here. It's just plain "cheezy!" Tac1 00:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Pigsonthewing/Probation

When you updated the list of Active bans you gave 2006 as the year in which that ban would terminate. Linuxbeak mentioned a duration of one week, so I think that you might like to change that '6' to a '5'. 131.155.229.224 01:06, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

whoopsie. Ëvilphoenix 01:07, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. karmafist 04:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

My RFA

Well, looks like my RFA will pass very soon. I just wanted to thank you for your nomination, and for your last minute nominator support. ;-) I will try and use my admin powers for good rather than evil. Anyways, I just wanted to bring this particular thread off the RFA in my response:

1. Strong Support. I though I introduced Evil and Death though... Reasonably sure... Redwolf24 (talk) Attention Washingtonians! 06:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

   I wasn't sure what you were saying for a while until I noticed your edit summary. You are of course referring to this conversation, but I had met Deathphoenix prior to that on the HP WikiProject. Ëvilphoenix 04:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

   You may not know this, but the first time I encountered your username was in this VfD. --Deathphoenix 16:12, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

   I didn't, and that's awesome. I hadn't ever noticed that comment either, I don't think I'd gone back to the discussion after voting on it. That was only my second week on the Wiki! I didn't realize we went that far back. All five Phoenixes? Where are the other Three? What are they? GoodPhoenix? LawfulPhoenix? ChaoticPhoenix? :-P Ëvilphoenix 22:43, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

   There's Phoenix2, and even the original Phoenix, who only made four edits in August 2001 and one in January 2003. We'll need to find one more form the head & torso. Is there a Kingphoenix? --Deathphoenix 23:00, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

   There is another Phoenix... _Phoenix 06:06, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

   Yeah, I live there! Dmcdevit·t 07:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

User:Scottfisher

Hi there. I just got an email recently from Scott Fisher, who I had some contact with back when he was editing physics articles. I offered to inquire into his banning; I looked into what's been posted about him, and it seems to me like he might be a productive user if he could just stay away from uploading/adding images completely. (He clearly can't or won't avoid copyvios properly, but maybe avoiding images completely would be a simple rule that he could follow if it was made very clear that it was absolute.) Do you think it's worth giving him another shot, or has he already been given enough chances to clean up his act? Thanks, SCZenz 06:23, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not really active right now for the next day or so, if you don't mind waiting a bit for me to get back to you. Thanks. Ëvilphoenix 18:03, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Cool, no hurry. -- SCZenz 18:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

So, to respond to your comment, personally I'm not in favor of Scottfisher editing on Misplaced Pages. He has uploaded images claiming {{pd-self}} on images that were clearly not taken by him. He ended up indefinitely blocked by Fvw for it, but I unblocked him in order to give him a chance to reform. He managed to cooperate somewhat, but I also warned him to not upload or add images to articles under any circumstances, and he continued to do both despite being warned, and so I blocked him indefinitely for it. Being as no other Administrator has chosen to unblock him, that essentially amounts to a ban, unless an Administrator chooses to unblock him. However, he has lied about the provenance of uploaded photos, which is according to Jimbo a bannable offense, and he also created a sockpuppet in an attempt to circumvent his ban, and edited several images that he had uploaded as Scottfisher to attribute them to his new name. This does not encourage me that we would obey a restriction on image uploading. I would suggest you also speak with Fvw, and get his input. Ëvilphoenix 01:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. It sounds like the extra chance I was thinking of giving him may already have been given. I might check in with Fvw also. -- SCZenz 01:40, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
