==JakeW==

Hello, are you somebody who's trying to introduce a little sanity in the face of JakeW? I do hope so. I have posted (under my other sign-in, AlexanderLondon) several long requests on his page asking him to tell us what his credentials are and he clearly doesn't want to admit that he doesn't have any. Hope I haven't got this all wrong... Anyway, it looks as though you're a nice counterbalance to the extremism of JakeW and "Robert the Bruce".--[[User:Oxonian2006|Oxonian2006]] 00:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Hex This] is the RfA of [[user:Hex]].

Hi there. Seeing that you're a regular contributor to the Japanese articles on Wikipedia, and also over at BigDaikon, I thought you might be interested in my idea about creating a wiki related to the [[JET Programme]] over at [http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/WikiJET Wikia.com].

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I've reverted the move back to [[darkroom]].

== Doing something about the ridiculous date autoformatting/linking mess ==

Dear EB—you may be interested in putting your name to, or at least commenting on [[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29#A_new_parallel_syntax_for_autoformatting_dates|this new push]] to get the developers to create a parallel syntax that separates autoformatting and linking functions. IMV, it would go a long way towards fixing the untidy blueing of trivial chronological items, and would probably calm the nastiness between the anti- and pro-linking factions in the project. The proposal is to retain the existing function, to reduce the risk of objection from pro-linkers.[[User:Tony1|Tony]] 15:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

== About policy ==

[[wP:NOT#BUREAUCRACY|Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy]]. If there is a consensus that something should or should not happen, "the rules say you're wrong!" is not a valid objection. There is a consensus to allow non-latin usernames, so "But the rules say it's not allowed!" is not a valid objection. -[[User:Amarkov|Amarkov]] <small>[[User_talk:Amarkov|moo!]]</small> 23:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

::Nevertheless, the policy states that confusing usernames are not allowed, and with good reason.  According to WP:NOT, "Follow the spirit, not the letter, of any rules, policies and guidelines if you feel they conflict."  The spirit of the username policy is that usernames must not be confusing.  Non-latin usernames ''are'' confusing to those who cannot read them, and might impede discussion, editing, blocking and other functions.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 00:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
:::No, the spirit would be what has consensus. The consensus is for allowing non-latin usernames. Thus, the spirit of the policy does not include disallowing them. -[[User:Amarkov|Amarkov]] <small>[[User_talk:Amarkov|moo!]]</small> 00:04, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Do not revert administrator closure of duscussions in the future - take it to a noticeboard instead. [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite|Ryan Postlethwaite]] 00:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

::I'm an administrator too.  Try to be a little more polite in the future, and don't close discussions prematurely when they are still ongoing.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 00:03, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

And you should know a couple of things too: WP:NOT clearly states that you should "Follow the spirit, not the letter, of any rules, policies and guidelines if you feel they conflict."  The username in question is clearly confusing.  You closed the discussion prematurely, while it was still ongoing and there was no clear consensus.  

Also, I find your signature rather disruptive.  It expands to nearly 4 lines in the editing window.  You may wish to consider altering it.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 00:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

:It's within guidlines. Usernames with non latin characters are allowed - WP:NOT doesn't trump policy, and specifically when policy says that usernames with non latin characters are allowed. [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite|Ryan Postlethwaite]] 00:10, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop using your extended signature on my talk page (per the reques that has been on this page for nearly a year).  I find it very distracting. 

You don't seem to be listening.  Policies are not laws.  There is scope for interpreting them.  The spirit of the username policy is that usernames should not be confusing for other users, for obvious reasons.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 00:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

:But that's our point too. Policies are not laws, so if something is against consensus, it should not be defended by claiming that the policy mandates it. -[[User:Amarkov|Amarkov]] <small>[[User_talk:Amarkov|moo!]]</small> 00:19, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

::I see non-Latin characters as the accepted exception to the confusing name part, or it wouldn't be mentioned. [[User:Leebo|Leebo]] 00:21, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Look, Yug, I'm not trying to delete your content.  But you will need to propose changes on the talk page first if you don't want them edited.  I tried to rewrite what you had written yesterday; it proved to be far too much.  You took perfect sentences, and rewrote them with the same content but in poor English.  You also made at least 6 edits to the page.  Trying to go through each edit and pick out the content while rewriting the sentences in good English proved too complicated.  I reverted to one of YOUR versions, and tried to add back the information I could find, and I made it CLEAR that that's what I had done, to avoid just this scenario.  Please.  Discuss your proposed changes on the talk page ''before'' editing the article.  It will make things much easier for everyone.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 21:10, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

==Geographic names==
As one of the editors who collaborated in [[WP:NCGN|our convention on geographic names]], I would appreciate it if you would not quote it out of context, as you have been doing on [[Talk:Iwo Jima]]. All our naming conventions are based on the principle that we use the name to which our English-speaking readership is most accustomed. We do not use local official names, except for places in which English usage is not clear; mostly such obscure places as [[Groß-Gerau]] in Germany. 

If you want a change in our policies, it would take consensus to change them; you are of course free to begin organizing such consensus. But insisting that they now say what they do not is not a promising way to start. [[User:Pmanderson|Septentrionalis]] <small>[[User talk:Pmanderson|PMAnderson]]</small> 20:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

==Fair use rationale for [[:Image:Yajikita.jpg]]==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:Yajikita.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found  [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:Yajikita.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.  Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. 

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].

== Hilton page ==

Hi, I strongly disagree with you. The Hilton and Libby cases are very much related. Both events occurred within a short period of time and are high profile cases. There was a huge uproar over Paris' supposed special treatment-- people were upset that she was being treated as "above the law". Libby was convicted of felony counts of obstruction of justice and perjury, yet was given special treatment and treated as "above the law". For this to occur right after the controversy about Hilton is ironic, and notable. I only added a single line. It was a statement of fact, and while you may not personally see the relevance, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I don't think my addition should be deleted just because you disagree over its relevance. As these issues fade, so will the relevance of that line, so why not compromise and leave it up for a week or two, then take it down. [[User:Ubertar]] 17:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

::What I wrote were not "musings" as you put it. My post consisted of two facts, which are relevant, for more than just that the two had legal issues. The connection is that:

::1. both Paris and Libby were recently convicted of crimes and requested pardons. 

::2. Paris was accused by large portions of the public of getting "special treatment". These accusations were likely a factor in her being sent back to jail. Libby has been accused of receiving special treatment by many legal scholars and politians. 

::(http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/03/washington/03libby.html?pagewanted=2 
::Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, called the commutation “disgraceful.”

::“Libby’s conviction was the one faint glimmer of accountability for White House efforts to manipulate intelligence and silence critics of the Iraq War,” Mr. Reid said. “Now, even that small bit of justice has been undone.”

::Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, acknowledged that the president had acted within his powers. But Mr. Leahy said: “Accountability has been in short supply in the Bush administration, and this commutation fits that pattern. It is emblematic of a White House that sees itself as being above the law.” )

::3. These events occurred within weeks of each other, unlike the Martha Stewart example you cited. With the uproar about Hilton's supposed light treatment and the issues it raised fresh in people's minds, Libby's commuted sentence is particularly relevant because it deals with many of the same issues. The fact that Libby's sentence was reduced while Hilton's was not could be seen as highly ironic due to the seriousness of Libby's felony conviction. Since these events happened at essentially the same time, they reflect the state of our times, and as such, are intertwined. [[User:Ubertar]] (usigned)


:::::''both Paris and Libby were recently convicted of crimes and requested pardons.''

::::Different crimes, different requests, from different authorities.

:::::''Paris was accused by large portions of the public of getting "special treatment". These accusations were likely a factor in her being sent back to jail. Libby has been accused of receiving special treatment by many legal scholars and politians.''

::::Unlikely.  It's called judicial discretion.  Libby's situation is unrelated to Paris'. 

:::::''These events occurred within weeks of each other, unlike the Martha Stewart example you cited.''

::::That still doesn't make them related or relevant to one another.

:::::''With the uproar about Hilton's supposed light treatment and the issues it raised fresh in people's minds, Libby's commuted sentence is particularly relevant because it deals with many of the same issues.''

::::No, as you point out yourself above, the issue with Libby's sentence is the Bush administration.  No one has ever suggested that Bush interfered in Hilton's sentence.

:::::''The fact that Libby's sentence was reduced while Hilton's was not could be seen as highly ironic due to the seriousness of Libby's felony conviction. Since these events happened at essentially the same time, they reflect the state of our times, and as such, are intertwined.''

::::Again you seem to be missing the point that their sentences and crimes are completely unrelated.  It might be relevant to add something about Nicole Richie's sentencing to the Paris Hilton page, ''maybe'', since the crimes were similar and the two are friends.  Even then, it's unlikely such an addition would be permitted to stay in the article.  In this case, however, the two are clearly unrelated.  In Paris Hilton's case, the issue was whether or not she deserved 23 days' imprisonment for her crimes; in her opinion, she didn't.  In the opinion of the presiding judge, however, she did.  Case closed.  Very simple.

::::In Libby Scooter's case, the issue is whether or not the president acted inappropriately in commuting his sentence.  Completely different issue.  Totally unrelated.  

::::Finally, for the last time, please sign your posts by typing four tildes (~) at the end of your last sentence, like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 18:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

==Your recent edit==

to the Citations missing template. What's the deal? [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 06:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:It's a discontent with cleanup and citation requests without written reason (see [[:Category:Unreasonable nagging templates]]). Templates not requiring a link to a written explanation on the talk page promotes an ugly template littering that is hard to deal with properly because there's no explanation on what's to be improved. F.ex. how in the universe is Alice in Wonderland going to be cited? My act is a deliberate provocation, so if it attracts observers, fine!! But on the other hand, I prefer discussing before confrontation, generally. [[User:Rursus|Rursus]]  07:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

::To be perfectly honest, I really have no idea what you're talking about.

[[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 07:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:::Hmm, no. First of all: I got your attention. My experience on Wikipedia is that it's a hard time getting anyones attention att all. Now, if anyone adds a cleanup or citation request, someone is going to have to make the cleanups and the citations (or else the articles will look like detestable patchworks of template lists). That person (often me) has to figure out what's wrong, which is easy if the requests are accompanied with a written explanation, or if it is placed near the text that is bad, f.ex. placing the request in a ''section'', or using a very specific cleanup templates, such as <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> after the sentence that is considered dubious. Again: how in universe is anyone going to find more citations to Alice in Wonderland? Is the problem intelligible? [[User:Rursus|Rursus]]  07:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Frankly, I have no idea what you're trying to do. I've just looked at the template again, and see no problems with it.  You're either going to have to be a lot clearer or... Or, I don't know.  I really have no idea what you want.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 07:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:With the risk of being rude (according to my culture): what I wish, is a modification of the template, so that it, like the <nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki> template, requires a link to a certain section of the ''talk page'' where the problem of the article is described in detail. That is how more ''serious'' templates, such as merger requests are treated here on Wikipedia (if you didn't know that already?). If you really read [[:Category:Unreasonable nagging templates]], it would have been clear to you by now? [[User:Rursus|Rursus]] 07:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Well again, would it not be simpler to add such a link to the template?  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] 07:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:OK, it might have been an error of mine. (BTW it's OK to delete my "category", I'll going to do another less offensive, such as "templates requiring proper talk links") However, I have a hard time finding it used. It should then be obligatory, such as <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki> without any defaults. <span style="color: #800000; background-color: #FFFFA0; padding: 1px 2px 3px 2px">''Said: [[User talk:Rursus|Rursus]] [[User:Rursus/OTHITPWMEEENAE|☺]] [[User:Rursus|★]]''</span> 07:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I have now stated my reasons for wanting to see PPA deleted based on notability policy and not on any dispute, please see the talk page. Were my afd to be rejected yours would unquestionably be the next best solution and this is what I wanted and was proposing until Xavier (I think) proposed the wider merging. I am not at all sure the pro pedophile activist movement has enough notability to warrant its own article but does have enough to warrant mention in pedophile (a greatly shortened section) but that some Pro-pedophile activist groups and individuals do have notability fior their own articles and in these 2 places we can include all that is needed about this very marginal political group. We dont have a cannabis activism article or an Earth activism article (but we do have the [[earth Liberation Front]] etc. We do have an animal rights activism article, the Animal liberation movement but animal rights are considerably more notable than pedophile activism is, [[User:SqueakBox|SqueakBox]] 00:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

== Removal of Secure Card Dealer ==

How is the post for Secure Card Dealer blatant advertising when it did no more than explain what the company does?  I noticed posts for other companies out there, why are those not advertisements?

== You're right ==

Sorry about letting my emotions get away from me on the fare strike article. 

But I have a concern. The other antagonist on that page has been using people's real, legal names when they don't do so themselves. Is there a wiki policy about that? And is there any way to have them removed? 

Thanks,

Ed.

==Comments from InaMaka==

No.  I'm not going to change anything that I have wrote and I am not going to apologize for anything that I have written.  I have not violated any civility rules and you, that mean you, exploding boy, you need to stop removing whole pieces of information.  Also, I have been in long, long, long discussions with many, many a Wikipedian that has attempted to use intimidation to get me to back down from a point of view and I have not back down and your constant comments on my talk page will not change that.--[[User:InaMaka|InaMaka]] ([[User talk:InaMaka|talk]]) 11:24, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

:I am not acting uncivil.  I am just stating my opinion on how the articles should be edited and you simply do not agree with my opinion.  I will not apologize and I will not back down.  If place the nasty, fascist, narrow-minded, unnecessary, hate-filled comments of Hilton back into: (1) [[Carrie Prejean]], [[Miss USA]], or [[Perez Hilton]] then I will remove them as a violation of BLP. It is as simple as that.--[[User:InaMaka|InaMaka]] ([[User talk:InaMaka|talk]]) 23:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

::Ok, let's go over this again.  In sum, you want me to shut up because you don't agree with my opinion.  Next, if the nasty, hate-filled comments of Hilton are repeated in Wikipedia then that will be a violation of the BLP and as such I will have no choice but to remove them.--[[User:InaMaka|InaMaka]] ([[User talk:InaMaka|talk]]) 23:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

:::I do not have to do anything that you demand.  I will not apologize for what I have stated.  I have stated my point over and over again.  Hilton's hate speech will not be repeated on Wikipedia without it being a violation of BLP.  And I will do my job as an editor and remove it.  Also, your comment that I have not been civil is not true.  You are wrong.  Your comment that I have engaged in personal attacks is also not true. You are wrong.  I put a stop to the repetition of Hilton's fascist, hate-filled vindictive and now your making false, derogatory claims that I have been engaging in uncivil behavior.  Please stop engaging in this false behavior.  By the way, the proper grammar is "uncivil" not "incivil".--[[User:InaMaka|InaMaka]] ([[User talk:InaMaka|talk]]) 00:03, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

:::::Ok, I guess we have to review the facts again. Hilton's remarks are nasty, mean, narrow-minded, fascist, stupid, vulgar, inappropriate, moronic, childish, and most of all not encyclopedic and a personal attack and as such their is no reason to repeat his comments word for word on ANY Wikipedia article.  If I see these comments I will do my duty as a Wikipedia editor and remove them and rewrite the section without the nasty, moronic comments.  Also, I never, ever engaged in any uncivil behavior.  You are simply making things up and you need to review [[WP:CIVIL]]--[[User:InaMaka|InaMaka]] ([[User talk:InaMaka|talk]]) 00:21, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

:::You stop it.  I never wanted to talk to you anyway.  I will remove ALL of Hilton's nasty, fascist, moronic comments that are repeated in Wikipedia as a violation of BLP.--[[Special:Contributions/98.196.128.133|98.196.128.133]] ([[User talk:98.196.128.133|talk]]) 00:56, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== [[User:CadenS]] and [[User:Exploding Boy]] dialog ==

I'm leaving the same comment on both your talk pages. Stop the drama. I'm not taking a position on content about [[Carrie Prejean]], or on who's right and who's wrong at this point, but this overreacting behavior is unacceptable. If you both can't discuss content in a civil way, then just leave each other alone. Enough said. — [[User:Becksguy|Becksguy]] ([[User talk:Becksguy|talk]]) 01:59, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
