Battle of Baghdad (1258)

I imagine you're already aware of the baloney going on around this article, but I thought I'd alert you just in case. I've already deleted some of the dreck on the talk page per WP:TALK but it's been reinstated. Several good quality editors now have an eye on this article so there's a limit to how far the nonsense will be allowed to go. Cheers. --Folantin (talk) 13:21, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, and I'm glad to hear that others are keeping an eye on it. I'm still going to be traveling off and on for the next week or two, and my wiki-time is severely curtailed. Looks like I'll have lots of !entertaining reading to do when I get back! :) --El on ka 18:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

That certainly sounds like our old friend Dr B. (I'm not the only one to think so either ). --Folantin (talk) 19:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Update: blocked indefinitely by Moreschi . Dr. B and his possible imitators are already indef. blocked so their socks can be instantly blocked too. --Folantin (talk) 20:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Request for Mediation

Hi Elonka, I was sent here by Jehochmen because I had a dispute about an edit at the quantum cryptography page ( here is a link to the diff). He deleted a large amount of text that I feel didn't need to be deleted. I explain my stance in the talk page. I already undid his edit, then he redid it, and I dont' want to get into an "undo" war, so if you could help me it would be much appreciated! Thanks!--MaizeAndBlue86 (talk) 14:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

In theory...

My ISP has fixed my issues. Note I said in theory. Things seem to be working for now... we'll see what happens. Ealdgyth | Talk 21:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppet hunt

(This relates to your question to DarkoNeko)

Howdy,

If you're looking for user:Geir Smith, yes he's the creator of the French version of the Boubouleix article. IP 86.207.56.195 also intervened, as well as the 4 IP and users below. No other contributor of significance.

FYI: fr:user:Lord Hearntown, fr:user:D A A Boubouleix and fr:user:D Boubouleix are all sockpuppets of one another (+IP 86.207.121.187), but seem to be distinct from G.S. (we ran a Check User on them names, see here).

Hope this helps! Cheers, Popo le Dog 10:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

what he said :) DarkoNeko x 11:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! :) --El on ka 16:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

G. Smith incident

It was a very strange incident. Both the main perpetrators, Geir Smith and Dominique Boubouleix (plus his various socks), have been banned from Misplaced Pages. They posted some bizarre conspiracy theory rants about you here and on the French Misplaced Pages. You can see the unfolding saga at WP:FTN. We concluded that Smith was a crank who was trolling for hits for his website(s). He was desperate to get PHG on his side but we haven't found evidence that PHG was involved in any way. As Dbachmann said: "it transpires that is embraced as a brother in arms by the Warriors of Shambhala because he is in dispute with Elonka. I am sure he will be nonplussed to learn of his popularity among the Immortals". Cheers. --Folantin (talk) 10:29, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

"My CIA handlers will be pleased". Boubouleix's sock puppet "Lord Hearntown" also alleged you were really Jewish and a Mossad agent on French Misplaced Pages (since blanked). I haven't kept track of PHG's editing history in detail but we found no on-wiki evidence of collaboration between him and Smith, so I have no idea whether he's been inducted into the Warrior Cult of Shambhala, knowingly or unknowingly. This whole episode has been the strangest I have encountered on Misplaced Pages and has left me wondering about the quality of mental health care in France. --Folantin (talk) 16:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Dirty Dancing

Let me know if you want me to look at the article. I'm certainly not the greatest FAC reveiwer, but I can usually see where something is unclear. Normally I don't do "modern" stuff much, things past the Reformation bore me usually. Ealdgyth | Talk 04:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

ah, and I keep forgetting about this resource, you can dig around at WP:PRV. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to get to it tomorrow. I do most of my reviewing in the morning while my eyes are still fresh and I can face the task of being utterly picky. (grins). Ealdgyth | Talk 04:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

There, later than I hoped (stupid Daylight savings time change always annoys me) but got it done. I put a few questions/concerns/suggestions up on the talk page. Hopefully it helps. Ealdgyth | Talk 01:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: Request for review

Thanks for the message Elonka. Arabo-Norman civilization did not exist... and a quick Google search for the term shows the Misplaced Pages article as the only result. It should be speedy redirected to Norman conquest of southern Italy... because that is the time period in which Sicily went from been a Muslim country, to once against a Christian country (under the Normans). I'll redirect it myself due to it been a completely invented term. - Gennarous (talk) 09:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Priory of Sion

Hello Elonka! Congratulations on becoming a Misplaced Pages administrator! Would you have the time and interest in collaborating with me to improve the Priory of Sion article enough to meet Featured article criteria? --Loremaster (talk) 10:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I recently did some tweaking of the Charges of heresy section of the History of the Knights Templar article. Did you have any comments? --Loremaster (talk) 10:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that you'd been working on it, yes. Though I didn't review the edits in detail, because I know that you know what you're talking about, so I trust you to put in good material. :) When I get a chance, I'll go in and look in more detail. The Priory of Sion project sounds like a good one too, I'll definitely help as I can, though right now my time is a bit crunched. I've been sick with the flu for a couple weeks, and when I do have time (and health) for Misplaced Pages, my attention has mainly been on an ArbCom case. It's in voting phase now, but even after it's done, there are a a lot of articles (some of them Templar-related) that are going to need complex cleanup. I am also trying to get Dirty Dancing to FA, and will be submitting it for another Peer Review soon, and probably FA again next week. But if you still need help on Priory of Sion after I get those projects off my plate, yes, I'll definitely help out! :) --El on ka 19:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. The help needed is mostly with standardizing the citing of sources. Anyway, take care of yourself. --Loremaster (talk) 03:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Do you think the Priory of Sion is now worthy of good article status? If it is, could you nominate it? If not, could you tweak it enough before nominating it? --Loremaster (talk) 15:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Dated sub-cats

Essentially the templates need to be tweaked, and the sub cats created. There's a few bits of admin too, but that's the crux. I'll have a look at it. Rich Farmbrough, 21:29 11 March 2008 (GMT).

Basically done. Rich Farmbrough, 22:41 12 March 2008 (GMT).

Sorkhagtni bekh

Dear Elonka and Friends,

I read the secret history of mongols 3 times. Because I am mongol. Although I am a financer, i love medieval history especially mongolian.

I think the right spell for her name is Sorkhagtni but not Sorgaghtni. I think mongols did not use K instead of Kh or H in early times. K is foreign letter for us. For example, people call some names such as Kublai, Kaidu (or Qaidu)and more. Mongols call them Khubilai and Khaidu in mongolian.

Thank you!

longissimam agnoscere veritatis viam

Elonka: your recommendation at Talk:Viam agnoscere veritatis seems sound. Would you mind, however, proposing the redirects cognoscere and agnoscere for speedy deletion by way of {{db-author}}? These are ordinary Latin infinitives with many other uses. Aramgar (talk) 14:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. The solution for cognoscere and agnoscere is good. Aramgar (talk) 18:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Franco-Mongol alliance

This Arbitration case is closed and the final decision has been published at the link above. PHG (talk · contribs) is prohibited from editing articles relating to medieval or ancient history for a period of one year. He is permitted to make suggestions on talk pages, provided that he interacts with other editors in a civil fashion. PHG is reminded that in contributing to Misplaced Pages (including his talkpage contributions, contributions in other subject-matter areas, and contributions after the one-year editing restriction has expired), it is important that all sourced edits must fairly and accurately reflect the content of the cited work taken as a whole. PHG is also reminded that Misplaced Pages is a collaborative project and it is essential that all editors work towards compromise and a neutral point of view in a good-faith fashion. When one editor finds themselves at odds with most other editors on a topic, it can be disruptive to continue repeating the same argument. After suggestions have been properly considered and debated, and possible options considered, if a consensus is clear, the collegial and cooperative thing to do is to acknowledge the consensus, and move on to other debates.

PHG is encouraged to continue contributing to Misplaced Pages and Wikimedia projects in other ways, including by suggesting topics for articles, making well-sourced suggestions on talkpages, and continuing to contribute free-content images to Wikimedia Commons.

For the Arbitration committee, Thatcher 01:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow, while my mind was on other things, somebody just quietly got on with a very careful and well researched job, and got a result that will help raise the quality of Misplaced Pages's medieval studies articles. Well done, Elonka. --Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The 17:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

User:KellyAna

Hi, don't want to bother you, but you're an Admin now — with that and your vast experience (and participation in WP:SOAPS), I'd like your advice on how to deal with KellyAna. I have just hit my limit with her behavior and misguided edits. As you may know, she does not accept criticism or advice, but I am hoping there is an official way to get through to her. Her edit summaries and history and behavior on her own talk page (she ignores or deletes critical comments because they're placed "in the wrong place" on her page) should prove my case alone, but there are also several editors I feel she has terrorized and steamrolled lately and their interaction would also be illuminating. Please advise. — TAnthony 03:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Elonka. I have previously warned this user several times for her edit-warring, falsely labelling good-faith edits as vandalism, a technical problem with her user talk page, etc. Because of the idiosyncratic way she 'archives' her user talk, you may want to read the history, from about here on to get a picture. Best wishes, and I hope adminship is suiting you. --John (talk) 04:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

This may also be of interest. --John (talk) 04:47, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Elonka, as always ... I have never felt the need to intervene with an editor like this before, so I appreciate your advice. I of course don't wish to get KellyAna "in trouble" or even blocked, but hope to somehow get her to listen to reason. I do plan to post a detailed comment on her talk page, and amass links to the various recent situations I feel have been a problem (like John's, above). I may even ask you to look it over before I post it, so expect me to get back in touch ;). Thanks again. — TAnthony 05:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Nonsensical

A comment that makes no sense is nonsensical and I have a right to remove anything from my page that I don't understand the wording of. It is not "uncivil" it is fact. Have people speak in normal English and I'll not remove their comments. Comments that makes no sense will be removed as "nonsensical." KellyAna (talk) 03:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

And how is it I can be called INSANE and that editor doesn't get a warning but I remove a nonsensical comment and I get a civility warning? Double standard much? KellyAna (talk) 03:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Apparently your warning to TAnthony went unheeded. I removed it from my talk page because you told us to stop but you can see his personal attack within my history. KellyAna (talk) 16:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Request to amend Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Franco-Mongol alliance

Hi Elonka. I hope you've been keeping well and enjoying your new shiny buttons :)

Just letting you know that I've filed a request to amend the Franco-Mongol alliance case, mainly the restriction on PHG and medieval or ancient history. Your comments at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration#Request to amend prior case: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Franco-Mongol alliance would be much appreciated. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 10:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Your new, er, friend

Ok noted. Do you have a policy here on :en that allows you to ban people whose username translates into asshole and clearly state that they're not coming to help? I guess that'd save you a loooot of time :-)

Rude people

. Basically I told him to get off my page if he was going to be rude "clean your glasses" but you've asked me to play nice with others. How is this possible when people attack you just for questioning an uploaded picture. Seriously, I asked TAnthony and he even agreed the picture was not Lorenzo Lamas. KellyAna (talk) 01:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hey Elonka. Thanks for blocking 98.194.118.152, I just found out they blanked my user page earlier. Mad Props!--InvisibleDiplomat₆₆ 16:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

List of supercouples

This article has unfortunately taken up far too much of my time at Misplaced Pages as of late, and I have no time these days to give to it. As it is, I'm limiting myself to one edit a day here since I've got a ridiculous amount of drawing to do in the next week and don't want to overuse my moneymakers typing unless I absolutely have to. Significant progress has been made on this article, but it's come at the price of hurt feelings and more than one editor deciding to leave the article. The current debate centers on an article from "Mount Holyoke News" independent student publication (which is the schools official newspaper I believe) and whether or not it is a reliable source. I've removed it from the List of supercouples article but it is still currently in the Supercouple article.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at the current debate and maybe give some feedback on the source and the direction of the article. I've contacted you because I know that Flyer22 and KellyAna (who has all but left the article) both hold you in high regards, and would rather solicit the advice of a friendly and familiar admin that take a crap shoot with the reliable sources noticeboard or filing an RFC. Thanks, Animate

I'm breaking my own rule about posting once a day, but I'm dealing with a little insomnia and am hoping briefly dealing with this will get my mind off work and ready to shut down. Anyway, you should know that this isn't a huge conflict and none of the editing relationships are beyond repair. There are clear "sides" for lack of a better term, but I think (for the most part) everyone has been relatively civil, refactored uncivil comments, and apologized when necessary. The reason I contacted you, is because I think we just need an new set of uninvolved eyes. Right now, there are three or four editors going round and round in circles and it's not productive. I guess this is my own bastardized version of the third opinion option in the dispute resolution process, and what better opinion than that of a fellow editor I know the other editors on the page trust implicitly.

WP:USER rationale

Hello. Thank you for stating a rationale at .

As wikipedia is a consensus system, it helps to record the rationale behind each decision and best practice, since people are required to supply such a rationale when asked for one. (else negotiation becomes rather difficult ;-) )

Could you please update WP:USER with your information as well?

Thank you very much! :-)

--Kim Bruning (talk) 19:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC) Meh, why does that sound like a template? Think of it this way: Update the page, and you might avoid having to answer that question again ;-)

re: Advice

The thing is, aside from being an utter ], I am not sure which of his ArbCom sanctions he would be violating. The same edit, offered over and over again wth naught but edit summaries to provide his reasoning is disruptive, sure. And yes, he is the ony one being disruptive in the article. And yes, he has chased away at least one editor. I am not sure how - aside from being a disruptive lout - this is anything more than an AN/I complaint. I welcome your thoughts on how to proceed, though. People are getting fed up in the article, and I don't want more to walk away, afraid to comment. - Arcayne () 03:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Supercouples

Hello Elonka, Thank you so much for agreeing to help out on the list of supercouples. Trouble is brewing again down to a conflict of views - as evidenced on AniMate's talk page. You expert guidance skills would be appreciated here! And yes, I need to control my temper....Paul75 (talk) 21:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

No, Elonka, trouble's not brewing, I'm too busy pulling my head out of my ass and trying to figure out how to deal with people in the real world to cause trouble on the article. Not that I need to tell you, but please view my talk page. KellyAna (talk) 21:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

If my comment about how KellyAna dealing with people outside of Misplaced Pages crossed a line, I apologize, but I've noticed what seems to be a pattern of immediate incivility with people who she doesn't agree with. You say she's getting better, than I'll believe you. Still I think a reminder of what you said here might be in order. AniMate 00:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't "immediately incivil," I said I just couldn't go back to the page after Paul's insistence the lists must go. That's not uncivil, it's fact. You attacked me, my real life existence, my job, my personal interactions. I wasn't even talking to you and you attacked me. That's a fact that can't be swept under a rug by apologizing to a third party. And those conditions were to be upheld only if Elonka and I were to participate in the article. I gave a waiver and said I couldn't adhere because of Paul's comments and I wouldn't be participating. KellyAna (talk) 00:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

(ec)KellyAna you were immediately uncivil with me in our first interaction. You misinterpreted something I said and refused to accept my apology. I see multiple instances on your talk page of confrontations with other users. If I offended you I apologize, but your interactions with people at Misplaced Pages are problematic and I was merely wondering if you are so quick to fight in your "real" life. I'm guessing no. The thing about being anonymous on the 'net is that we say things we might not normally say in everyday life. I do it. You do it. Elonka and Paul both do it. It was a roundabout way of saying we should interact with each other as if we are sitting across from one another at a table. It was done inartfully, but it was not an attack and I again apologize for offending you. Please accept it.

Also, those conditions Elonka set out are conditions every single Wikipedian should follow no matter what is going on. AniMate 00:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

That's an apology? KellyAna (talk) 00:44, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Again, I apologize if I offended you. AniMate 00:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't accept what my mother called "back handed apologies" and that's what that was. I never attacked your personal life or being and you can't say the same. I left the article because you and Paul made it your mission to ruin it. I wanted out and you not only tried to pull me back you insulted me in the process. Paul did everything he could to bring me to tears. Your back handed whatever isn't enough. KellyAna (talk) 00:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

You have misinterpreted what I said. I never meant to insult your personal life. I am sorry for what I said. Ani Mate 01:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Kelly, I can't speak for Paul, but AniMate sounds sincere. If AniMate isn't using words which properly convey that to you though, then the thing to do (per that Transactional analysis thing I told you about), is for you to decide for yourself, "What would I need to hear from AniMate, to help improve our ability to communicate?" Instead of just saying, "You're not meeting my needs" (which is the "C" in the PAC at TA), the more adult way to handle things is to take the responsibility for communication of just what your needs are. Another way of describing it, is with a mother and a baby. If a baby has a wet diaper, the baby just cries, and it's up to the mother to try and deduce what the baby wants, and fix it. But what I'm trying to encourage you to do, is to deal with things in a different way. So instead of just "crying" (not saying that you are, I'm just using that as an analogy), imagine that you were a baby and you could say, "Um, mom, the diaper's wet again. I'd change it but I obviously don't have motor control (or reach past the crib walls here) to do it. Think you could take care of this for me? Thanks so much, I really appreciate it." :) --El on ka 01:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Indeed I am sincere. I never want to hurt anyone's feelings. I do think you misinterpreted what I said, and I really am sorry. That being said, I still think all of the principles Elonka laid out on your talk page are things every single Wikipedian should follow every time they post. Paul certainly did not do that on my talk page, and Elonka correctly warned him. However, I do think incivility and not assuming good faith are real problems with you. We're discussing it here, and it's being discussed on your page by another admin. My mission has never been to ruin anything. All I've wanted is to collaborate with all sides in this and improve the article. Ani Mate 01:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Here's what "pisses" me off. I asked weeks ago to get away from the article. I was happy, content to be away and some how someone tried to suck me back in and this happens. Do you see why I wanted out? I wanted nothing to do with any of it. Why did you do this to me? I wanted out, done, gone, bye, over, not to touch again because I can't deal with people like Paul. I don't appreciate this escalation over an article I stepped away from weeks ago. It's very unfair. KellyAna (talk) 01:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

The reason I asked you back is because I was unhappy that you left the article. I wanted to work with you and thought it possible that two people like us with vastly different opinions could work something out. It's as simple as that. No one should feel they have to flee an article. I was simply reaching out to see if maybe you would want to participate in something I knew you had cared about in the past. Ani Mate 01:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Kelly, this is the internet, no one can force you to do anything you don't want to do. :) If you think someone is "coercing" you to do something, close the browser. :) Unplug the computer, walk away. You have complete control over what you do or don't do online. If you don't want to work on the article, don't. It's as simple as that. You don't need to justify, or explain, or react... Just go work on something you do want to work on. :) --El on ka 01:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

(ec)Yeah, I cared about it but according to Paul's accusations I claimed to own it. I guarantee you I don't own that article and NEVER claimed to. I've always said that was Flyer's article and I just a contributor. I don't even know that it is you that would be "to blame" but rather Paul. I think maybe, but not necessarily likely, you, Flyer, and I might be able to work things through but Paul is the one I can't work with which is what I was replying to on your page. I just think it's better for me to not be involved because, quite honestly, the removal of the "notable wave" section infuriates me. I know me, I know when it's better to walk away. It was what was best for me and all involved for me to walk away. Look what happened tonight. I've made more enemies than friends tonight and it's all because of that stupid Supercouple list set me off. Just let me walk away. PLEASE. It's what I wanted weeks ago, it's what I still want. And what else I want is for Elonka to help me and this article isn't part of that agenda when the talk about it includes comments like "what planet" and "pull your head out." I just don't need that abuse, I have a teenager, I get enough abuse at home =)KellyAna (talk) 01:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, I also apologise to KellyAna for my comments if it is any use. In defending myself in probably an undefenbisble situation is thyat you are increasing difficult to work with KellyAna. From the moment myself and AniMate came across this article, if you have been aggressive and uncivil. All i did was stumble across an article by sheer mistake that I thought needed some help. Correctly or incorrectly, I thought it didn't adhere to Misplaced Pages guidelines and thought it could be improved - AniMate obviously felt the same. I feel incredibly frustrated that every time we attempt to do something, you turn on us and cry foul. This is the reason why I suggested you behave as if you own the article. When I made one of my first edits to the article you left me a message saying something along the lines of "Thank you for experimenting on the List Of Supercouples article - please don't do it again, next time use the sandbox". That is not a very helpful attitude. It is this frustration of being able to get anywhere with you that lead me to lash out yesterday with some unkind language. I am sorry, it shouldn't have been said and yes I have problems control my temper. My apologies go out to you, AniMate, Elonka and everyone else involved. It was a stupid thing to do and did not advance the case any further. But KellyAna, please, no matter what I have said in the past can you try and be a little more flexible with us, and not shout us down everytime we say something? We are NOT trying to ruin this article, despite what you think. We are not the Wicked Witches of the West patrolling Misplaced Pages in an attempt to destroy things. We both just happened to see an article we thought needed help. OUR thoughts. No-one elses. Misplaced Pages is there to be read, used, edited and changed by everyone and we have the right to our own opinion. From day one both myself and AniMate have been confronted with rudeness and uncivility, but we have weathered the storm. If you could please accept that we have differing views and then we can all move on. And yes, I don't like lists - so what? Do you really think that means I will be a one man army that will destroy every list on the site? I really don;t have the time or inclination. By walking away from this list now, you are effectively giving control to the evil twins leaving us free to do whatever we want to the article, and I don't think you want that. :) Why don't you stick around, I don't care if you hate me, internet snipings don't bother me. Just please please try and accept that we all have different views and are not insidiously evil out to ruin things. Paul75 (talk) 11:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

No, Paul, anything and everything you say only makes things worse, as you've done here AGAIN. The message, Hello, I'm Per Honor et Gloria. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. is just a default message used by Misplaced Pages, it's a template not my words. If you'd been around as long as you claim, you should know that and not have taken it personally. What absolutely gauls me is I haven't even touched the article but to add one reference in a long time and when I repeated WHY I won't touch it, because of you and what you've done, you immediately attacked. You should have celebrated because I was stating I wasn't coming back and you could continue ruining the article to your hearts content. Why when I'm saying "I'll leave you to your destruction and won't interfere" are you still attacking me? I really think you need to look at the past conversations and stop attacking me for NOT PARTICIPATING. Stop dwelling and stop attacking me. And what "walking away now"??? I walked away WEEKS AGO see here where my last comment was February 28 so LEAVE ME ALONE and move on and go back to destroying the Supercouple list but LEAVE ME OUT OF IT.

DreamGuy at AE

Not sure if you were aware of it, but I submitted a report on DreamGuy at AE. I am also not sure if you want to be involved with it, but perhaps you could tell me how long it takes for investigation/action to be taken on a submitted enforcement complaint. Either way, thanks for pointing me int he right direction with your comment on my User Talk page. - Arcayne () 17:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Heh, GMTA, I actually just posted. As for how long it takes to get action, it really depends who's watching the page. It might be worth posting a note at ANI, reminding the admins there to check the enforcement board since no one else seems to be watching it at the moment. If you do post at ANI, let me know and I'll weigh in too. --El on ka 17:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Considering your long history of wikistalking me, Elonka, you know you shouldn't be getting involved here. But then you never seem to care. DreamGuy (talk) 21:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

DreamGuy, the above comment is uncivil, an assumption of bad faith, and a violation of your ArbCom restrictions (see Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/DreamGuy 2). Please, understand that I do see the good work that you do. I know you have expertise in certain topic areas, and I do see you working hard to fight spam and vandalism and POV-pushing, and I appreciate how much you care about Misplaced Pages. What I don't like though, is when you mistreat other editors, when you assume bad faith, and when you play fast and loose with the truth. When you are uncivil, you make Misplaced Pages a more unpleasant place to work. I also take exception with the way that you throw around terms such as "harassment" and "stalking". When you make false accusations like that, it makes situations more difficult to resolve. Even when you are being faced with rude behavior, it does not give you the right to be rude in return. And when people caution you about rude behavior, you most especially do not have the right to react to them with abusive comments and false accusations, and thereby further escalate the situation.

I wish that you could hear the good things that people say about what you do, and take enough pride in that, that you didn't have to react so defensively to the bad. I wish that you could acknowledge your temper, and say, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I'm going to try and do better in the future." If you could do that, I think you would find an enormous number of people here who would be eager to put aside old grievances, and genuinely try to give you another chance. Apologies can be powerful. I wish you would consider one once in awhile. --El on ka 23:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

AniMate, sorry about the pronoun thing! As for your article, I'm afraid all I can do is wish you well. I unfortunately had family at Auschwitz, who yes, had contact with Mengele. I already bump into the Nazi atrocities enough while I'm doing genealogy work, because of all the holes in my family tree, and death dates from World War II. I do not think that I could maintain my cool while working on that kind of an article. :/ --El on ka 02:37, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Very understandable, it's the worst article I've ever worked on. I had family at Mauthausen-Gusen, so I understand how hard working on Holocaust articles can be. Still, thanks for everything. I'm just going to go ahead and submit it for GA review once I've tweaked some retrieved dates. I've had to really be clinical and detached with this, and I still feel bad whenever I work on it. Thank you anyway, and you're forgiven for the pronoun slip. And KellyAna it does explain SO much. It explains why I'm so incredibly awesome (which I'm sure is what you meant).

Kindly explain

Hi Elonka,

regarding your arb enforcement call, if you could provide the rationale for your decision, as I'm not too clear on how you arrived at said decision. It doesn't have to be long, if you can just give me a general idea of how you perceived the situation, I'd appreciate it.

--Skyelarke (talk) 13:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Elonka,

Thanks for taking the time to reply - the thing is, several of your statements on the noticeboard appear to me to be innacurate, I'm sorry to say - but I don't want importune you with a long discussion about them - but there are three points that I'd like to raise -

1) The whole problem to me hinges on the relevance of those images - I must reiterate that they are very important to the discussion - I would not have called a RFC without being able to include them - and the image question is mentioned in remedy 2 of the arb decision (and is mentioned prominently elsewhere on the RFA page).

2) Edit warring? Does one instance of reversion consitute edit- warring? If so, then by definition should not User JGreb should also be included in that instance?

3) I am curious as to why the unusual (and to me rather severe) enforcement i.e. contrary to the steps stipulated in the enforcement indications, when normally an initial offense is usually met with a warning, as was the first case?

Cordially,

--Skyelarke (talk) 03:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanky for the reply,

What can I say? I must respectfully disagree with most of your replies - although I won't pursue my objections any further - again thanks for your time -

I would like to make one suggestion however - maybe wait a while before continuing to handle arbcom enforcement cases? (I don't mean to sound condescending, but I think it is one of the tougher areas to handle on Misplaced Pages, for anyone).

I say this because the impression I get is that although I think you handled the request OK on the whole and consciensciously so- I get the impression that there's a lack of pragmatic experience in dealing with conflict resolution situations, image questions, edit warring, etc...

Maybe deal with some less complex stuff at the community notice notice board or the adminstrator's incidents noticeboard a bit before tackling the arbcom thing? No offense intended, just trying to make a pragmatically helpful suggestion.

All the best,

--Skyelarke (talk) 04:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Request for clarification

Similar to Skyelarke's, above.

See User_talk:J_Greb#Extra_eyes..._.282.29.

From what I can tell, #1 should be implemented. And it seems that you dealt with (confirmed) #2 and #3 in your closure. If you disagree, clarification would be welcome. - jc37 18:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: query

Hi Elonka, this is in relation to the DreamGuy section, right? Are you asking this question because of PHG's edits, or something else? --Akhilleus (talk) 20:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I see your point, but I think I would only be "involved" if I were part of the dispute at Jack the Ripper or had some other ongoing conflict with DG. ABD/PHG's comments are spillover from another dispute, in which I am (tangentially) involved, and I wouldn't take any admin actions there--but the situations are different, and their comments haven't affected how I viewed DreamGuy's situation at all.

If you continue to be concerned, though, I wouldn't have a problem with getting more input--the more eyes, the better, in my opinion. --Akhilleus (talk) 21:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

France, Japan, and PHG

I was not going to indulge this, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask you to be more specific about any concerns with France-Japan relations (19th century). Perhaps if you are waiting as you say to see it get fleshed out, you could just put it on your watchlist (if it's not already) and take the tags off as PHG works on it, re-adding them later if the problems are apparent.

Little more pressing

Okay, so we have a situation that's really more important than the AMC ep count. Talk:Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald which is also at Talk:Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane and hooked to article Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. There's been consensus to keep it without Crane but Dougie insists it be with Crane regardless of policy, verifiability, and consensus. He moved something an all sorts of mess happened. Half the talk page is gone, including the part that says "let's leave it without Crane" on one talk, the other has all the conversations, and the article is on the page without Crane. Dougie keeps adding screen caps that change regularly. The site doesn't have Crane but he's not content with that no matter how many people say "leave it." The gest of it is, there's now two talk pages. KellyAna (talk) 02:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald (Crane)

Why have you locked that page to a factually incorrect title when I've shown proof that it is correct to say Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane? I filed an arbitration request but somehow that person KellyAna got it squashed. Is there any recourse or does KellyAna own this site? -- Dougie WII (talk) 03:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Comments on others

Hi again. I regularly search the Internet to make sure people are not copying from my site, etc... When I did one of my searches tonight, the Misplaced Pages page came up. Although it didn't deal with copying things from my site, I was dismayed to see several erroneous comments about myself on the page. Here is the link to the page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:List_of_Days_of_our_Lives_cast_members

My name is mentioned numerous times on that page. I signed up to Misplaced Pages tonight, since I thought I had a right to defend myself. They are not breaking any rules, but I just wanted to let each of them know my stance on the situation.

KellyAna on January 29 stated: "Please see what constitutes reliable per WP:V and Jason's page is not reliable. He "guesses" based on where someone's name appears in the credits or if they appear. His information is faulty and Kristen has not been on in 2008 on a contract basis. She's not even in the credits on days she does not appear. KellyAna (talk) 23:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)"

My response on her page was that my information is not faulty. I do not "guess" about contracts. I've kept track of the Days credits since 1985, so since I've been doing this for 23 years, I feel I have some history to back up my credentials. Also, she states erroneously that "Kristen Renton (Morgan) is not even in the credits on days she does not appear." That is an outright error, since Kristen Renton has appeared in the credits every day since December 3, regardless of if she appears at all during a week or not. There have been many weeks since December 3 when Kristen Renton did not appear, yet her name was still in the credits, meaning she is on contract.

As for IrishLass, on January 30, she stated: "Kristen Renton is not on contract. Jason is not considered reliable sourcing. You did mention Jason on KellyAna's page. If you have other sources you put them here, not on a user page for others to consider the merit of a source. I've checked all publications and only Jason is assuming she's on contract as he did with the young lady that played Gabby and he was wrong, generally is."

I addressed her on her page, and asked that she not make statements like "Jason was wrong, generally is." I pride myself on reporting only the facts, not gossip or errors. I admit that perhaps I make an error or two once every two years, which might be 10 errors in total in 10 years since I started my site in 1998. Since I average maybe one error per year, I don't think it's fair for her to say that I'm generally always wrong, when I'm usually 99% right.

Also, IrishLass stated: "Contract status means in the credits everyday, even when you don't air, she is not. She is only listed on days she appears. IrishLass (talk) 16:01, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Again that is incorrect. I don't know how both of those editors of that page could be incorrect but they are. Perhaps they don't watch the credits carefully, but I do, and have done so for the past 23 years. Kristen Renton has indeed been in the credits every week since she was upped to contract status on December 3. Both IrishLass and KellyAna both told that person (username Doolkid) who was trying to get Kristen Renton added to the contract credits that she was wrong, but in fact, Doolkid was right.

It's easy to see who is on contract with "Days." John Aniston (Victor) and Leann Hunley (Anna) are a good determination, since both of them do not have contracts and generally are the first names after the contract cast is listed. There are a few more people on contract that they have yet to/refused to add: Tamara Braun (Ava), Shawn Christian (Daniel) and in the coming weeks Arianne Zuker (Nicole) and perhaps Kevin Dobson (Mickey), whose status we'll find out when they run the credits on April 1. Thanks, Jason Jason47a (talk) 03:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Comments

Yes, I understood about "unreliable" from the get-go. But as I mentioned above, I was talking about specific things mentioned by those two editors. I was not saying that they had to consider me as a point of reference or for being reliable. Both of them said incorrect things in response to username Doolkid. They both said Kristen Renton (Morgan) was not listed in the credits every day since December 3, when in fact, she has been. Also, I did take exception to Irishlass stating that "My site is generally wrong." That is also not true. I sort of am an "unofficial" official source. I have had several conversations with the former Days website webmaster, and even he said that sometimes they would come to my site to get information for their official website. Besides that, the "official" site never even updates cast biographies in a timely fashion. That's perhaps why the other editors don't believe Kristen Renton, Tamara Braun and Shawn Christian are in fact on contract. I can see their point, since "official" sources don't list it, but in actuality, those websites are just behind in updating. They don't bother to make the daily changes that I do. I haven't checked, but I assume the official sites still list Brandon Beemer (Shawn) and Martha Madison (Belle) in the cast biographies. I had them off my site as soon as the March 24 episode aired, since they were no longer part of the active cast at that time. Jason47a (talk) 04:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom review

Hi, thanks for the note. Since AE threads are very time-consuming (as it's necessary to come up to speed from zero to really give it a good review), I'm trying to limit myself to no more than 1 or 2 per week.

Re: Days site comments, etc...

Hi Elonka. Just a few updates on IrishLass0128. She too seems to have the same feelings towards me as KellyAna. I'm dismayed to see they feel that way, since they have no reason to, but there's nothing I can do about that. IrishLass0128 refuses to answer my question about Kristen Renton and immediately removes my questions/statements to her:

Her first response to me was: As you and the Jason47 site seem to have an admin on your side (although I don't know if she knows your work or not) I'll simply say that I stand by my previous opinion and actually hold it stronger now than before, a claim of only wrong twice in 10 years is impossible for me to believe but also tells me a very great deal. I could list many sites I'm associated with in some form or another that do not allow what you post on your site to be listed as "fact" only as rumor and speculation, much like DaysCafe.com, but never fact. I further stand by the opinion that the Jason47 Days of our Lives site should not be an allowable resource for articles. Say what you want, do what you want, but I'll forever fight to keep that site as a non-referenceable source on the basis of WP:OR if nothing else but more importantly as a strickly fan site and fan sites are not allowed. Good bye. Please don't stop by again as it will only serve to negatively affect my opinion of you. Thank you. IrishLass (talk) 17:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

She incorrectly stated that I said I was only wrong twice in 10 years...I did not say that. She also said she will fight to not have me as a reliable source. Nowhere in any of my statements on Misplaced Pages did I ask to be considered a reliable source. My question to her was why she spoke incorrectly about Kristen Renton. She seems to not to want to admit she was wrong, but will just remove my question as though it did not exist, and just change the subject to something else.

After she removed my question, I made one final comment to her, also re-adding my question back:

Hello. As I had said earlier: "I will admit in my ten years of running the site, I might average one or two mistakes every two years or so, but that's a pretty good track record for a decade on the Internet. Much better a track record than saying "Jason was wrong, generally is." You mistakenly wrote that I said I was only wrong twice in ten years...as my statement above says, I'm wrong once a year or so, so that would be 10 times in 10 years.

On another statement you left, just wanted to make a correction on your error. You stated: "Contract status means in the credits everyday, even when you don't air, she is not. She is only listed on days she appears." That is incorrect. Kristen Renton has been listed in the credits every day since December 3, regardless of the weeks she appears in. Many weeks she did not appear in December, January, February and March, yet she was still in the credits every day. For this, I was correcting your incorrect statement of January 30 that you said she was not in the credits every day. I bolded that statement of yours, because you wrore yourself that "Contract status means in the credits everyday, even when you don't air." So it's not me speculating on Kristen Renton, it's her placement in the credits and the fact that she is listed every day, regardless of when she appears, just like you wrote yourself saying that was the criteria for contract status.

Nowhere in my statements above did I ask you to treat me as a reliable source, so I don't know why you would bring that up in your response. Now, if you'd like to answer my original question about Kristen Renton, and why you stated she does not appear in the credits every day, please do. I'm sorry that my response "will only serve to negatively affect my opinion of you." Thanks, Jason Jason47a (talk) 17:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:IrishLass0128"

I was expecting a response about Kristen Renton, not: "Any additional comments will be removed, as was your last comment. I have said all I will say on the subject. This is not to be incivil, it is to avoid incivility and stating my true feelings which would not be a civil thing to do. Thank you for respecting my wishes."

I guess you won't be responding to my question about Kristen Renton? I'm confused as to why you would be incivil to me, since we've never met, and I've never done anything to you. This will be my last comment to you, which I assume you will also remove. If you do remove this, I ask that you remove your inaccurate statements about me in the previous post where you say: "a claim of only wrong twice in 10 years is impossible for me to believe but also tells me a very great deal." and "I further stand by the opinion that the Jason47 Days of our Lives site should not be an allowable resource for articles. Say what you want, do what you want, but I'll forever fight to keep that site as a non-referenceable source on the basis of WP:OR if nothing else but more importantly as a strickly fan site and fan sites are not allowed."

Maria Despina Palaiologos

First of all, I replied to your post at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy#Saint_Mary. Second, the use of Despina, is interesting. I had discussion, which you can see on my talk page about its usage. Despina, which you may not know, is not only a name, but a title, it means "lady". So it could be used throughout the article to say "Lady Maria Palaiologos" and misinterpreted as her middle name or something like that. Since you say you are adding to her article, I would suggest you look into this by finding some more sources, etc. Good luck. I'm here if you need my help. Grk1011 (talk) 01:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

There's a long history going on and what I said wasn't a personal attack. Stop stalking my every move. Look at these lists: , those are the confirmed socks. Then there's the suspected . I left for two days to get away from you and those you protect that don't deserve it. Check out Randy Jaiyan and all his socks and all the damage he's done. Nothing I said was anything less than fact and you aren't objective. Ask Yamla about Randy before reverting what I say to him especially when it's fact and not an attack. She'll tell you how many problems he's caused and his bad grammar is well documented. Just stop following me and let another admin like Yamla make objective decisions because we know you aren't objective about certain things lately, like whatever I do. I can't even correct formatting without you following me. It's ridiculous. KellyAna (talk) 00:40, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

This was clearly a personal attack. Please review Misplaced Pages's policy on no personal attacks, and Misplaced Pages's policy on civility. I'm serious. Please read both of them. --El on ka 01:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

If something is true, it's not an attack. You really need to review the issue and his abuses heaped on Misplaced Pages and the admins who have dealt with him. Again, you have no objectivity ever since that admin playing editor scolded you. You were a good admin before his comments, you shouldn't have changed. KellyAna (talk) 01:23, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow, couldn't help but see this; just want you to know that any time I see something this ludicrous being leveled against you, I will certainly do all I can to comment on your consistently neutral and constructive demeanor, impeccable manners and tactful intervention. — TAnthony 22:22, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Email

Hey, I know I was a bitch to you via email but some other user on my page is claiming I don't have email set up and since I did email you, would you mind commenting. DJS24 and I have a storied past and now he's lying all over my page saying I don't have email set up and IrishLass and I can't possibly be friends off Misplaced Pages, which we are. I know, I was a bitch to you but I need you to comment on this as a co-editor, not an admin. KellyAna (talk) 22:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

DJS

I have no need or time to report her. I've been down that road with her before; she can't stay on the topic. I think you've read my concerns and I thought her edits were very questionable. I brought it up and of course she gets uncivil/defensive and brings things up that have nothing to do with the situation. I also think her comments to other users who are trying to help are completely uncivil and rude. Just look at any of her edits this week, there all rude. I see you already blocked her once this week for it. However, I made my comments and have no need to continue this problem. I'm sure KellyAna will now go and attack my brother (Blackwatch21) because that's what she does. Just watch. Thanks for your time and I'm sorry if I was uncivil in any way.

Re:

Thanks, I will not use it anymore in the edit summary. ≈Tulkolahten≈ 08:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually yes, I offered him a cup of coffee regarding our disagreements about Charles University adrticle but he never responded. ≈Tulkolahten≈ 08:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes that's true I didn't contacted him. Partly because I contacted him before, even we have some disagreements, with cup of coffee but he didn't respond. And partly because I saw in that a vandalism so I reverted his changes in a quick line, I admit it was a mistake. Then we both got to the Antandrus table . He offered a 3rd party view, I agreed and I wanted to know if my reverts were correct or not, so we could discuss them. Antandrus provided a long review but in the meantime Matthead filled arbitration enforcement process and then it all began. ≈Tulkolahten≈ 09:08, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
