Interesting nick

I am curious what inspired ya. :) --Cat out 19:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

What makes this so-called "nick" interesting? *suspicious glare* Kurds 01:16, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, for one Kurds are an ethnic minority... Generaly people choose something more... descriptive.

Even though you are not violating any policy, I'd encourage you to choose someting else. See: Misplaced Pages:Username

For the purposes of me learning the automatic/cultural mechanisms of wikipedia

This was posted on user talk:AccurateOne I felt free and removed it.(too soon? dust hadnt settled?)
I presume it then wound up here by you manually putting it here as a record for you. This is because wikipedia editorship admin etc is based on the level of level headed contribution. It also serves as examples of how to start Mediationalization. Yes? AccurateOne 02:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm constructing a record that I'll eventually copy to Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-05 Bullshit. They archive every mediation case, and usually like to have a record of the discussions. Eh, I'm not a fan of beauracracy, but whatever.

By the way, I've moved discussion to Talk:Bullshit, in the section titled "Mediation/Discussion", so we can figure out a compromise to these edit wars. Kurds 03:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed you started in the last few days. I think you may want to ask for a name change. You are likely to be assumed to be a vandal/troll with a name like that and its going to cause problems down the road. Shorten it to TPWOTCC or PWofCC or ProphetCrayon or something. Just friendly advice you can do what you want. jbolden1517 12:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern, and I can understand how you could come to these conclusions. But I feel confident that my actions will speak louder than my name. *smile* -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 13:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I See the future

I see a large lump on your forehead, but I would have to agree that every person who never tried also never did. The problem with that is that sometimes trying is very trying. TTFN. AccurateOne 23:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application

Dear The prophet wizard of the crayon cake,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that for security reasons, VandalProof's creator requires it's users to have made 250 edits to articles, which you have not. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - Glen Stollery 07:04, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Mediation

Thanks for your note. I've been involved with "Disemvoweling" from the beginning, though I haven't tracked this growing conflict. My concern, then and now, is that there are too few reliable sources, but I'm not passionate about the topic. I support your mediation effort and will help it in any way you think best. Cheers, -Will Beback 09:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

User:Marky48 wanted an advocate and I've assisted him; I warned him strongly not to violate 3RR because it could compromise his position later on, and I think he's decided not to continue, as he's fairly happy with the current article; you might want to close this one.

Sure thing. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 18:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Counties

Hi. This is meant as a friendly suggestion from someone who's been watching Talk:Association of British Counties: you might want to know that the unregistered user 84.9.xxx.xxx/87.75.xxx.xxx is (99.9% certain) the banned User:Irate (they're his favourite IP address ranges). His disdain for the rules was what got him blocked by Jimbo Wales himself: see User talk:Son of Paddy's Ego (one of his subsequent sockpuppets). Avoid if you can! --RFBailey 22:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 22:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my talk page. Much appreciated. The interesting thing is, I don't think I've ever even met/reverted the edits of that guy. Huh. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 00:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Tanks a lot !

You're really nice!

About my question: Firstly, I wanted to know if its posible to align more specifically the just left right (for wxample I have noticed that the babel template is automatically more to the right then the userboxes aligned to the right).

Secondly, it seems like the align = right doesn't work either anymore (see my user page. Also, I would like to now if there is a posibilty to align not only horizontally but also vertically (for example I would have liked "my subpages" userbox in my user page to be in the bottom right corner or something).

I hope you could help me. Thanks a lot again.Tal :) 11:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

P.S

could you answer via my talk page? It will be easier for me this way. Tal :) 11:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Happy Funtime Mediation of Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-21 Death Valley Driver Video Review

Before we begin, I'd like everyone to read this. (My own custom super-list)

'Please read and deeply contemplate the meaning of the following fundamental philosophies of being nice':

• Avoid making nasty personal attacks (Mean statements directed at a user's character), we need to talk about Misplaced Pages not each other.
• Be nice to each other, that's the only way anything gets done. If both parties are mean and unsympathizing, then no one will get what they want.
• Assume good faith in other editor's intentions. Misplaced Pages allows anyone to edit, so obviously we trust that everyone has good intentions when it comes to using it. If everyone were out to harm Misplaced Pages... well... we'd just be screwed.
• Basically... play nice  :)
  
  

If everyone is in agreement with the above philosophies, then let's have a nice lovely sit down with a delicious bagel and discuss what's going on. Shall we? -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 17:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, sounds good, thanks for the heads up.JB196 17:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Works for me too. SirFozzie 18:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, since I'm a neutral party, I think it would be best if you two begin the discussion, and I simply "guide" once I overview the situation. So, discuss your dislikes and likes, and so forth and I will chime in eventually. yaaay -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 19:02, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, first, JB.. I am legitimately not trying to hassle you man. I think you're going overboard on the # of tags. We managed to come to a fairly decent article before this all started. I'm going to do my best to assume good faith, and let me make some suggestions to see what you think.

A) Linkless Tag - Since the main/major reason for the DVDVR article now is the DVDVR500 (and the controversey it created). Would you support if folks started tagging wrestlers like Chris Benoit with their DVDVR500 rankings? (I use him as an example because he was #1 on three straight lists).

B) Cliche/Jargon - I do not understand why that needs to be there. Please explain, we may need to agree to disagree.

C) Notability - This is the one we're going to go round and round on, and I don't think we're going to come to a conclusion. I do know that in 03 and 04, when they were putting together flyers for the 03 and 04 ECWA Super 8, they were using the placements in the DVDVR500 as a selling point on the fliers. Just like the PWI500, it's fairly notable, and the site does have a large amount of Googlehits. Otherwise, I think we're back in the discussion from the AfD again.

D) Relevance- Not sure why it's on there. Feel free to explain.

The article itself? I largely agree with your edits (the article was VERY unwieldy), and perhaps it's at the right size now.

Hopefully this is a good first step. Please assume good faith of me, and vice versa. Thanks. SirFozzie 22:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh.. also (besides adding this to my watchlist) if you want, my email is (SirFozzie@gmail.com) or just use my talk page. SirFozzie 23:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ohhh, oops, you mean likes and dislikes as it pertains to the subject at hand...Dawp!!!

• "Would you support if folks started tagging wrestlers like Chris Benoit with their DVDVR500 rankings?" - No idea what you mean here.

• "I do not understand why that needs to be there. Please explain, we may need to agree to disagree." (in reference to cliche/jargon) - the previous version which you made had references to

""Head On Stakes Thread," ""Team Beefy vs. Glitterati," "X Song of the Day," ""Throw The World Away," and TENS of others of inside jokes/cliches/jargon that only DVDVR posters would understand. Every message board has its own inside jokes; it doesn't mean the jokes are notable.

• "Relevance" - because in the version you wrote, there are so many cliches/jargon as described above which don't serve any purpose to the article. i.e. does one really need to know that "The Land Of Confusion has recently been the main wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant that is a group project called "Throw The World Away"?" etc etc

The reason I added those tags is because you reverted my three weeks of edits (I think it was two actually, hehe). So while some of the content which is referred to above was not included in the version I made (the current one), we were going back and forth between reverts so in my opinion they still applied.

"they were using the placements in the DVDVR500 as a selling point on the fliers." - then why not just make an entry on the 500 system; does the whole site need an entry?

"We managed to come to a fairly decent article before this all started." vs. "I largely agree with your edits (the article was VERY unwieldy), and perhaps it's at the right size now."

These sentences seem to contradict each other to a degree; please clarify.

"I largely agree with your edits (the article was VERY unwieldy), and perhaps it's at the right size now."

With all due respect, then I am unclear why you reverted it to the original version.

To clarify, the thing I am not so cool with is when you were reverting the version I came to after I justified each and every edit, one by one, and you were not giving any reasoning for the revert besides it was some kind of three-week campain or something.JB196 00:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Just utter frustration, more than anything (you were thtrowing a lot of tags up there, man ;)). What I meant by my sentence above is add to the Accomplishments tab of wrestlers by adding where they placed in the DVDVR 500 with links to either the DVDVR article or a seperate DVDVR500 article.

For example, see this section on Chris Benoit. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Chris_Benoit&action=edit&section=17

would it be helpful if we added his DVDVR500 rankings under Accomplishments (see where the PWI stuff is at the bottom? that's where I'd add it)

Oh, I see what you mean now...No, I don't; with the exception listed below (see end of this paragraph) and with all due respect due to the web site, I think it would be absurd to also list it in their accomplishments. It's already been debated the notability of the web site; to list the web site's rating of the wrestlers would be nothing short of ABSURD. I could see it MAYBE for someone like Benoit for being on the three lists, but anyone other than them would really be pushing it.

As far as links go, I am thinking more like the PWI 500 in a See Also section.

Another quick comment on the Super 8 flyers - do you have any scans or copies of them? I am not clear how they could plug the DVDVR 500 when the only wrestlers who passed #50 on it were American Dragon and Low Ki, and looking at the lists their ratings seemed to go up AFTER the tournament...JB196 07:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

EDIT: The Linkless tag is not that big of a deal to me, I will go ahead and remove it so that will take one issue off our plate. There are no non-talk pages that link to it, but its more the Relevence, jargon, and WP:WEB which are issues to me.JB196 07:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

A) Ok. If we agree to leave the article at the pared down size/ability, with none of the "in-jokes" that you mentioned in the previous versions, would the Relevance/Jargon tags be able to be removed?

B) The scan of the flyers was on the board, unfortunately when the hackers took it ovr, it was lost :/ But I will try to see if someone still has a copy of it.

C) And we run into the notability issue again. It may just have to be left on there, Notability is going to be our big bugaboo disagreement I think SirFozzie 17:16, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Random statements that I'll put here.

• wow, your signature is almost 5 lines long--64.12.116.203 20:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! can we discuss it on my page? Thanks! :)

For crying out loud, how can you delete what I wrote about Joe Eigo???? It's even based on a friggin article from a NEWS website. Is your job deliberately deleting correct information??

Because all the information I wrote, was 100% accurate, and 100% true! I've even spoken to the guy, and I have his AIM screenname! I'm an acrobat myself, and I know more about Eigo than you do.

Now restore the page, and read the reference I wrote down! Jesus Christ, what is up with you people??? I'm trying to correct a mistake, and you start deleting the CORRECT corrections??

He's right. I think an apology is in order. You really are an exceptionally poor Wikipedian, wizardcrayon - and a thoroughly dislikeable individual to boot. - 85.210.176.196 22:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

And you want me to apologize to right after that statement? I'm sorry, but I will not apologize. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 22:40, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not edit the user pages of other contributors without their approval or consent, as you did with Karime89. It may be seen as vandalism. - 85.210.176.196 22:37, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your concern. I might have to watch out for that, but I'm sure she'll realize the intent was good, but if not then I am sorry. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 22:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I must say, you handle the drive-by vandals in a rather amusing manner. I don't think I'd be able to do quite as well, all things considered. The soap is a nice touch, too. *grins* Cheers! Tony Fox (speak) 23:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

You probably couldn't do quite as well because you're a furry and thereofore automatically incapable of basic social interaction skills that the rest of us take for granted. - 85.210.176.196 23:26, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
