Re: Clean up tag

Sorry for the wrong tag. Still getting used to the procedures. Anyway, you said peer review instead. Is that appropriate? The information on the May 13 incident need some verifying but thats just not it. Theres a lot more information I think could be added. Just not sure its relevant and really need a good discussion on how to proceed. Posted everything on the talk page. Nobody responded yet and I'm reluctant to do a major editing on a stable article. Any comments on that? --C2Sane 11:12, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

Mailing list

John, please don't write things about me on the mailing list where I can't respond to defend myself, unless what you are writing is entirely uncontroversial. Everyking 16:25, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

John, on the mailing list you wrote: "what is clear is that Everyking refuses to allow others to edit the article". This fundamentally misrepresents the whole dispute, and I don't want all the people on the mailing list reading what you wrote and thinking its accurate. Unless you are willing to describe the controversy in neutral terms, you should only take this to places where I can defend myself and my arguments. I don't think that's an unreasonable thing to ask of you. Everyking 20:59, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Blocks are not expiring

I'm posting this message on every admin who has made a block in the last few days. The title says it all really: because of a bug in the new software blocks are not expiring when their time is up. Until this is fixed can you get in the habit of manually unblocking a few everytime you block one. If everyone does this we'll be able to keep on top of things until the bug is sorted out. Note also that another bug is displaying indefinite blocks as expiring at the current time and date. obviously you don't want to unblock those. If you want to reply please do so here Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 09:47, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)


Arbitration on Everyking

Have you thought of just going for RfC? In my opinion this is an ideal case for RfC because multiple parties have tried to reason with him and failed. In my opinion Arbitrationi is overkill at this stage and is unlikely to be accepted by Arbcom. His inability to show willingness to bend is bad for Wikipedia in my opinion, but is not a serious abuse. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:21, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

My initial reaction was the same, but then I remembered that Autobiography (album) is already on RFC and has been for a month without resolution. WP:RFM went nowhere, and apparently Everyking has declined mediation and invited arbitration on User talk:Ambi. Oh well. iMeowbot~Mw 16:43, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

What do you want from me, John? I can't give up my opinions. Do you just want me to leave? That would be fine. I'm not here for my own enjoyment; these days almost every moment spent on Wikipedia is a stressful one. I'm not willing to continue working in this battlefield atmosphere, where others are looking to shoot me down. Everyking 16:15, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

And what, if I may ask, do you want me to learn? Everyking 16:56, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. It looks like everything that needs to have been said already has on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration. If the rest of the committee accepts it, I'll give you a hand with evidence. Ambi 01:29, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Norman Weiss comments

Hi there! Thanks for your kind words...but the article is a stinker. I simply cannot verify anything, and it reeks of innuendo. Look at it again. It has nothing substantial in it and what can be added? I really wish you would reconsider. I mean -- how many authors actually AGREE that their own article be up for a speedy delete? When you mess up...well...'fess up and move on. Best regards, allie 17:16, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

219.93.174.96/27

Thanks for removing that /27 block, I received an email from an accidentally-blocked user as well. I thought I had it narrowed down as far as it could go, but it seems a lot of people use a few addresses there. silsor 05:26, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)
