Happy First Day of Summer!

Just wishing you a wonderful First Day of Summer 2008! Mifter (talk)







If you live in the Southern Hemisphere and are entering the season of Winter not Summer then I wish you a Happy First Day of Winter 2008!

RE: re User:Tahitia and flags....

Oh I am all for helping any user understand Misplaced Pages better, as people did with me when I was a newcomer, and even to this day I'm always learning new things about Misplaced Pages. I just feel that if someone is going to be that ignorant to policies after being warned multiple times, what other option is there? I would never request a permanent block, I do feel this is right, I just believe that if someone is warned and continues to vandalize, if they're blocked for such misconduct then they may learn. Just my personal opinion, which is why I took the case there after warning in edit summaries and the talk page. but if the potential block is countered by a more experienced editor/admin, I will not argue the case. Happy editing. --HELLØ ŦHERE 19:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

All the warnings were within six minutes. Not that long a delay. --Alvestrand (talk) 19:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Random Information...

Please look at the Mt. Vesuvius page; just above the disambiguation template, there's a random "Hi everyone". As it is protected, I cannot revert it, but please do me the honours. :D

Cheers.

Placing warnings. Everyone gets one. Besides, they seem to have stopped contributing. Note: Use WP:AIV for more organized admin intervention. --Alvestrand (talk) 22:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Original research on Battle of Opis

You commented earlier on Talk:Battle of Opis about Ariobarza's original research. Unfortunately he's ignored everything that was said and has created a POV fork based on his OR, at Battle of the Tigris. It's been nominated for deletion - see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Battle of the Tigris. Please feel free to contribute to the AfD discussion. -- ChrisO (talk) 20:27, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

done. Sigh. --Alvestrand (talk) 20:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

You probably also noticed that Ariobarza is now lashing out with personal attacks against myself and other editors who have !voted to delete. This seems to be a habit of his. Having reviewed his edits systematically, I believe there are significant concerns about him that need to be addressed. I have raised this issue at WP:AN/I#User:Ariobarza. Please feel free to contribute to the discussion. -- ChrisO (talk) 20:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Question

I do not know if I am breaking the rules here by commenting on your page but what does this mean?

You are breaking the rules. You're supposed to log in and use your talk page.

Ariobarza blocked "for a time period of infinite" by Jehochman. What does "for a time period of infinite" mean?

Ask Jehochman. I think his comment on AN/I was pretty clear:

I concur. The block evading sock puppetry combined with the history of disruption shows that this user account should not be allowed to edit further. If somebody would like to volunteer to mentor them and take responsibility for ensuring that they do not resume disruption, I will consider undoing the indefinite block that I am placing on the account. Jehochman Talk 12:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

, he wants to ban me! He is trying to delete sourced articles, and ignoring me, I knew there was something fishy about him... I could not reach you by any communication, so I am I am commenting on your page now. I do not know why I can edit from my computer now. I know I should not, so I will make this brief. I had prophesied I would get finally banned, despite my efforts to be nice, you escalated things, and I am now blocked, and now you want to ban me? THIS WAS YOUR AGENDA PERIOD! You just needed to sway the crowd a little, so good job. By the way check out my home page, and do not edit it please. So again I know I should not break the rules now, but seeing that your trying to delete valid articles, I had to put in the sources. I do not know if my articles (with you here) will survive in a week, so I had to do it. I am willing to not edit Misplaced Pages for two weeks (I will double my own sentence, to make up for my breaking of the rules) IF you promise me you will not delete those articles until the end of November, when I come back with my Public Apology and Reconciliation Letter to all(maybe even to you too, ChrisO). I want to come back, I love editing Misplaced Pages (it has a good feeling, and I ask to have a mentor if I knew I could make articles before making them when putting my name in front of the title I would have done that, and no OR would have occured, I needed to put enough material to sustain the article in the begining, that is why it looks like OR, so this is my solution to how I will be good, thats if you do not ban me of course, if you do I will never come here again, the founder of Misplaced Pages made mistakes too, and he's a Libertarian like me, so we have something in common, and I have potential to improve, I accept I have made major mistakes in Misplaced Pages, mostly in OR and CIVIL stuff, I came here to Misplaced Pages last year, so I am technically new to the game, and wish to survive, so my life is in your hands...) I say this to you from the bottom of my {heart}. Thank you.

Please, I beg you Alvestrand, don't let him do this, when editing articles I will uses sandboxes to perfect it before posting it from now, I will do anything, just do not let him keep tricking the crowd in his favor, he thinks he is special. God help us all.--99.49.15.82 (talk) 04:26, 1 November 2008 (UTC)Ariobarza talk

The problem has nothing to do with ChrisO. It's all about you. --Alvestrand (talk) 05:21, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Ancient Persian problems

You've recently contributed to discussions about problems with articles about ancient Persian history. I have been reviewing the contributions of the editors who have been involved in these and other related articles, and have found a considerable number of issues - bad writing, original research, lack of sourcing or citations, and POV problems. I have posted the results of my review at User:ChrisO/Ancient Persian problems (it's a work in progress, as I'm still going through the contributions). Please feel free to add to it and leave any comments at User talk:ChrisO/Ancient Persian problems. I would be interested in any feedback that you might have. Thanks in advance. -- ChrisO (talk) 01:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
