Consulting

Hi, the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines have contacted me looking for someone to consult short-term on Wikis. I'm not sure I'd be exactly what they were looking for and Angela thought you might be interested- if you are could you email me and I will foward on the details.--nixie 15:48, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

My user box

Hi, I made my userbox like 30 minutes ago and it got deleted with the apparent grounds of me being the only 'contributor'? Considering it's a template I wouldn't expect it to be contributed to very often, if at all. Could you please recreate my userbox?

Thanks. Kevin 23:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

No.

It got deleted because we are here to create an encyclopedia. Not to create crap. Who cares which hand you use to masturbate yourself ?

Anthere 23:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Who cares which browser you use? Who cares what your wikimood is? Who cares what your policy is on goatherding? I imagine in the same way, some people will be interested to know what hand User:Kevin Mulligan uses to masturbate. -82.40.177.197

Look VERY carefully 82. On my user page, there is no userbox. You have no idea what my wikimood is. You have no idea which browser I use. If I could take that decision, I suspect that all userbox unrelated directly to Misplaced Pages would disappear. In effect, wikipedians mood IS actually important to the community. In effect, which browsers are used is also an interesting information how Misplaced Pages appears to readers. Which hand is used to masturbate self is of no interest within wikipedia activity, except if you are actually masturbating yourself in writing on a user talk page. In this case, I highly recommand you go to one of the usual porn site as it is more likely to trigger an interesting reaction. Anthere 23:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

People have odd sexual-interests these days... No? --Cool Cat 00:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I've blocked Kevin, indefinately, after he admitted on Cool Cat's talk page that he was trolling. -- Essjay · Talk 01:07, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Could you approve Will Beback and Ronline to the MedCom mailing lists? I'm not sure if Ronline has tried to access the list yet, but Will Beback is waiting to be added, I know. Ral315 (talk) 21:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about it; Improv took care of it. Thanks, though! Ral315 (talk) 15:24, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

threat

Next time you try to force the french wikipedia to move such pages to meta against their will, you'll be blocked. Each project is free to decide what to do with such pages. Please do not mix with other projects habits. Make the move to meta if you wish, but do NOT impose english habits on other languages (in short, do not impose moving the pages over there). Thanks in advance. Anthere 22:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I dare you to block me for that, I merely tried to unite interwiki communities on a bold attempt. For that I only get yelled at. --Cool Cat 22:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

you can not unite communities in forcing them to move to another place where the language is essentially english. Which most do not speak. That makes no sense. I do not complain about you trying, I complain about the answers you gave to those non-english complaining of your bold move on your talk page and I complain about you reverting back when local communities opposed the move and reverted what you did. This is the problem, not the bold attempt. You must be aware that non english communities do not have the same rules than the english communities and that this MUST be taken into account and respected as long as it is not hurting the project. Typically, having community pages on local projects is a local decision to be respected. Forcing them to follow english rules is plain non acceptable. If they like the rules, they will adopt them themselves, or they will accept your bold moves. But if they revert your changes, you MUST accept that, with a smile. So, I repeat, on the french project, which is MY community, I can tell you this will not be acceptable. And we do not have to justify this. You do not UNITE people in imposing them your own rules of organisation. Please understand that. There are many things to do on meta, but sorry, not this. Anthere 22:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I am not forcing anyone to do anything. I only made an effort to convince people, that's called persuation. I only reverted a nl wikipedian reverting me on practicaly on all other languages and I only reverted him once on each. The "Nl guy" decided for the local comunities including en.wikipedia. I did absolutely nothing wrong for pushing the matter untill people at local comunities decide.

META is NOT english only. Thats like saying commons is english. Also pages I moved to meta were identical copies of the pages on every language wiki.

I blanked pages to take the attention of the local comunities. Never the less you threat worked! Farewell. I shall not be a part of a comunity that threatens me with blocks over two edits. MARMOT is given greater tolerance and I was not even vandalising. --Cool Cat 13:51, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I still dare you to block me. See blocking policy for christ sake, you cannot threaten random people with blocks whenever you feel like it. I havent even violated 3rr on any of the language wikis (assuming they have a policy such as 3rr). I am highly disapointed given you are a board member that should know better. If this was an idle threat what was the point of it? --Cool Cat 17:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

• Why am I even explaining wikipedia policy to a board member? Why is this happening? --Cool Cat 21:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

This was not an iddle threat. You do not even know that 3RR is a rule of the english wikipedia. I think this is a point enough. For the rest of it, I'll let your comments stand. I stick to my opinion. Even if that means I am less tolerant than Marmot. Anthere 21:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Surely if a nl guy was wikistalking Cool Cat through different languages this should be something we frown upon, Anthere? Sorry for meddling, but if what Cool Cat says is correct, this is a cause for concern. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

No you got it all wrong. Marmot is not the tollerant one, Marmot is the one being tollerated and he writes vandalism bots unlike me who is been threatened with blocks for making 2 edits on fr.wikipedia. What you are saying is you prefer people writing vandalism bots over bold users (I wouldn call 2 edits I made as "bold"). In fact I am suprised you dont know about MARMOT.

I do know 3rr applies to en.wikipedia (and MAYBE other wikipedias). I also know every wikipedia has their rules ranging from wikipedia policies to how copyrights are handled. Don't treat me like a newbie. This is never the less is en.wikipedia and anything happening in Fr.wikipedia is not in anyway of en.wikipedias concern and you are conflicting yourself.

This raises an interesting question: "Whose policies are you enforcing?" also "Which policy are you enforcing?". When threatening me with blocks are you wearing your "fr.wikipedia" hat or "en.wikikpedia" hat? I can basicaly cause havoc on fr.wikipedia at my whim which cannot in anyway affect my en.wikipedia experience in any way. I have no reason to do that since I am not a malicious user even though you treat me worse than how malicious users (ex:User:MARMOT who recieved Jimbos personal grace) are treated.

I have never threatened to block you on en.wiki ! What you do here is your own business. However, yes, I indeed say that should you try to impose again to the french community any decision you take *alone*, yes, you could end up blocked. Because blanking pages repeatedly for no reason or for a reason the french community will not recognise valid is bordering vandalism action. If any *stranger* of the english community came today here and decided on his own, to move the arbcom pages to meta and to blank the relevant pages here, I am pretty sure he will be blocked in NO time. I will not try it to make my point, but I am completely convinced nevertheless. And I think that the french community would do the same thing to protect itself from an outsider. This is the basic of wiki. People can try to be bold. But if the community is not happy with the boldness, the community will either protect the page or block the outsider. And the outsider can always afterwards try to screen "sysop abuse", or play Calimero as much as he feels like it, it will be correct that he is blocked, because it is the way wikipedia has always protected herself. So, now, take it the way you want. Do it again, but if you get blocked (by anyone, not only by me), do not come crying that the so-bad french admins blocked you, You would have deserved the block. OR, listen to what I suggest and do not impose your views on other communities you do not belong to. Suit yourself. I just wish you try to *read* what I am trying to tell you rather than pleasantly repeating to yourself that you are such a poor sad lonely cowboy. Get real CoolCat.

This conversation has been most disgusting and I am walking away from it. I will not run around screeming "admin abuse" nor will I take any of the threats here seriously as they neither have any policy or logical basis. Also I do not see how your threats poised at me making wikipedia a better encyclopedia. Fr.wikipedia is not any special wikipedia. It is just another wikipedia.

--Cool Cat 01:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Do me a favor. Stop playing Calimero. You are not victim of any sysop abuse. Anthere

Hi Anthere. I'm one of Cool Cat's mentors appointed by the Arbitration Committee on English Misplaced Pages. I'm advising Cool Cat not to meddle with thecontent of other Wikipedias, and instead to put notes, in local languages where possible, on the talk pages of the relevant articles pointing out the existence of the copies on meta and leaving it to local policy to decide whether to redirect or to keep the local copy.

If you have any further problems, I'd be happy to help in any way I can. --Tony Sidaway 19:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello

I was reading through talk page archives, and noticed you were something like my second talk page editor:

oh ! Say, I just picked up a beer. I'll drink it thinking of you. You know, sometimes your talk page fills up with good thoughts, sometimes it fills up with acrimony. user:anthere

Just checking up to see how you're doing :) — Ilyanep (Talk) 19:19, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

well, I am recovering and smiling :-) Anthere
