TK!

Good to see you on Misplaced Pages my friend. Enjoy yourself! Keegscee (talk) 18:28, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Keegscee! Almost anyone on the Internet has my email, or could easily find it on my CP user page, if they have burning questions for me to answer, so I appreciate your clearing this area of junk unrelated to Misplaced Pages. --TK-CP (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Regarding oversight

If the admins haven't responded to your oversight request, I'd be happy to try and get them to respond. Sorry for indirectly calling you creepy; you may watchlist my talk page if you wish. Just try to use it for talking with me, and with a purpose. I appreciate your suggestion on my talk page. I haven't deleted or archived it ever before, and am hesitant to do so. ...comments? ~BFizz 01:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I re-sent the entire complaint to "Oversight" about two hours ago, and would be happy for any assistance you (or anyone else) can give...but I do wonder if my sending it again, mentioning it even, is being counter-productive and pissing people off. I wanted to prod, not anger whoever looks at that stuff, is all. As for the creepy-stalky thing, we are both Admins, and I know where you were coming from, just my dry sense of humor at work. Sorry. --TK-CP (talk) 01:54, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I am, in fact, not an admin, as far as I am aware. ;) Speaking of stalking...lol. ...comments? ~BFizz 06:08, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Dang! I guess I had better go right now and enable that pop-up thing someone suggested! Perhaps you should be, B. :P --TK-CP (talk) 06:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Being a regular WP editor, I find plenty of ways to waste my time contribute at Misplaced Pages! If anyone nominated me to be an admin at WP, I'd decline for fear of wasting more time being overwhelmed with things to do. =P ...comments? ~BFizz 07:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Not bullying, just some advice

Use the other rollback buttons, not the vandalism one. You have to be careful not to label something as vandalism unless it is clearly vandalism, as that is considered a personal attack too. -- Nx / talk 11:27, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Nx. That was indeed the case, me using a new tool I was not familiar with and someone obviously allied with another site rushing to judgment or just stirring the pot. I would think that most fair-minded people, like you are showing yourself to be here, would have asked and assumed good faith. Anyway, live and learn! --TK-CP (talk) 11:39, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Where terms such as vandalism are concerned, the burden is upon the person using them to ensure they are used correctly. Inexperience is not an excuse. --rpeh •T•C•E• 11:46, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Use of talk pages

Per WP:TALK, The purpose of a Misplaced Pages talk page is to provide space for editors to discuss changes to its associated article or project page. Article talk pages should not be used by editors as platforms for their personal views on a subject. You appear to be misusing the Talk:Conservapedia page to do something else. You should not edit the Talk:Conservapedia page if you are not proposing a specific edit to the article or evaluating a proposed specific edit to the article. Thanks. Hipocrite (talk) 20:43, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps you should actually read the thread you "removed" and you would have seen that was exactly what was being discussed, eh? As opposed to the continual arguing, a few of us have actually been making headway at resolving some of the changes that have been proposed. In America we have a old saying about too many cooks spoiling the soup. Perhaps it would be helpful if instead of instantly jumping in and proclaiming your arbitrary decision about what you think is going wrong, you waited and let the Administrator who is watching the page deal with it, Hipocrite. Just a suggestion..... --TK-CP (talk) 20:53, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

There were no proposed changes in that section. Hipocrite (talk) 20:54, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

You are wrong. Perhaps since you are not an Adminstrator, you will kindly stop posting here, and kindly stop with the arbitrary, unilateral and silly "warnings", and leave it to the Admin monitoring the situation? If you have questions, ask first, remove stuff later. I am going to revert your actions on the page and leave it to the Administrator to act if he deems it necessary. --TK-CP (talk) 20:57, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

I warn you that if you remove my colapse box, I will seek to have you prohibited from further editing of both the article and the talk page. Hipocrite (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Wow. You are the appointed dictator of the page now? What gives you the right to judge over anyone else? Take your complaint to where it belongs, and seek sanctions, Hipocrite. But leave the page alone, or I will file a complaint about your actions, arbitrary, judgmental and unilateral as they are. --TK-CP (talk) 21:00, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

I welcome any and all concerns about my editing behavior and waive the 2-certifier requirement for an WP:RFC/U regarding my edits. Hipocrite (talk) 21:03, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Emails

Since you offered, I for one would like to see the email allegedly from Trent Toulouse, in which he threatens you "with investigation by private detectives, knocks on my door, late night phone calls and court orders from his editors." That's sort of a serious accusation to make against someone when you're unsure who the email is even from. I'm curious as to what makes you think it was from him. -R. fiend (talk) 17:30, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Do you think we never, ever talk, R. fiend? It was from his known email address at gmail, the same one he has used to email me dozens of times in the past, and in response to my own email to him. Who said I was unsure who the email was from? That seems to be the Alinsky method for making me seem unsure of myself, or what? --TK-CP (talk) 03:57, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

"I had a email earlier, from Trent apparently", now "apparently" seems to strongly imply that said email was not certainly from Trent. So was it or was it not? Why not say "I received an email from Trent"? And since you offered, yes, I would like to see the email in question. Can you forward it to me or not? -R. fiend (talk) 02:45, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Trent and I did exchange e-mails, as he posted on your talk page, but he is misrepresenting what was said evidently, and leaving out context for the dispute. As far as I am concerned it is resolved. If you want more specific details, you can talk to Trent since he is offering you further insight, even though he claims the matter is resolved, which makes one wonder if it is, IMO. But over the years this is par for the course with the RW people, and I have grown to never trust their word for anything, as it always is made public if it suits their schemes. I am still waiting delivery of all those "trolling emails" David Gerard said he had, or word from the audit committee they have gotten them. --TK-CP (talk) 07:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Archive issue

Hi TK,

I recently noticed that Rumping, in this edit to User talk:TK-CP/Archive 1, seemed to have corrected Nuttish's message from its original posted state. Nuttish's message was apparently changed by you in this edit, which is how it appears in the archive as I write this. Forgive me if I'm missing something here, but it seems that Rumping's edit was not in error, as it was correcting Nuttish's message to its original state from which you (accidentally?) changed it. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 00:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Also, I looked around on Rumping's talk page and found this; it seems that there's sometimes an interference made by Skype where it adds these random bits of text when editing, as was done with your edit that I linked to above. I've gone ahead and restored Rumping's edit to your archive, considering the above. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 01:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

"Correcting" things in articles is all well and good, Super. However archives should remain inviolate, in my opinion, and unless there is something there that could harm the wiki operation, I wish mine to remain exactly as posted. Thanks. --TK-CP (talk) 17:00, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree that archives should normally remain unedited, but to archive a message of another user that does not reflect what that user actually posted due to it being edited by another user isn't right. Correcting something shouldn't be limited to just the mainspace; if something should be corrected, it should be corrected regardless of where. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 19:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
