Misplaced Pages

Your recent statement on my talk page

I would like to ask why you have fraudulently accused me of edit warring. I have never been in an edit war because I have never reverted a page more than thrice except when reverting vandalism. Please see Misplaced Pages: Edit war before making any further accusations of edit warring. -- IRP ☎ 22:56, 12 March 2009 (UTC), modified 23:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I tagged for speedy--quite appropriately, as it was a G4 recreation. You removed it. I put it back, you re-added the pointless AFD link. Editwarring. Stop wasting peoples' time when things are obviously speedy and it has been explained to you why they are. Thanks. Bye. //roux   23:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Wasting peoples' time does not constitute Misplaced Pages: Edit war. I'm sure there may be an essay somewhere that advises users not to do so, however, I did nothing terribly wrong. Besides, all I did was restore the {{AfD}} tag after you replaced it with the {{DB}} tag, however, I did not remove the DB tag twice, I only removed it once, so please look at the diff before claiming that someone was edit warring. -- IRP ☎ 23:12, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

No, repeatedly reinserting something after you have been told why not is edit warring. In other news, you can stop being condescending right now, kiddo. Don't bother responding; further messages you post here will be removed on sight, seeing as you and reality don't appear to be on speaking terms. The best part is when you say you didn't remove the db tag twice. Seeing as I never said you did, one has to wonder what you're going on about. //roux   23:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I believe that this conversation may result from a misunderstanding. It's not edit warring to reinsert the tag of an open AFD on the article up for deletion, even if that article is currently tagged with speedy. Our deletion policy requires that these tags remain so long as the AfD is open. Among the reasons for this is that admins viewing CSD tags need to be aware of other factors that may determine their speedy choice. It also allows them to close out the AfD at the time if they accept the speedy, as User:SoWhy did. --Moonriddengirl 23:47, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

NAC?

I'm not objecting, but what does NAC mean? Thank you for your time.— Dædαlus 08:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

CopyVio problem

Thanks so much for your suggestion. It was great to get some help. Invertzoo (talk) 00:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

No problem. //roux   00:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Indeed.

I only joked because It's a fellow user of ED. Him and I are different on the perspective of vandalism to Misplaced Pages (I oppose and he vandalizes) No intention to hurt the user. It's okay though, not a big deal. Message me back if you feel the need to, peace with you. -THE MATTY! TALK! 10:23, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Your comment on User talk:Hersfold

Thanks for that! I tried that and I think it worked. My mind is at peace now :) Inferno, Lord of Penguins 22:16, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Recall

Just so you know, the question about Recall was highly criticized about 3 or 4 months ago. It is a question that garners opposes regardless of how the person answers it and it has not teeth. Look up the thread "adminship is dead" or something like that and you will see why everybody and their cat condemned the question.---I'm Spartacus! 04:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

And? Assuming someone has a decent amount of policy knowledge and reasonable experience, the most important thing to me is whether they view the bit as 'admin for life' or 'if I fuck up, please do these things to remove me.' The fact that certain asshats oppose over it is immaterial; certain people will find anything they can in order to oppose, or indeed make things up to oppose over. e.g. "oppose per age" in Bugs' recent RFA. //roux   04:18, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

No the problem is that the question asks for a campaign promise that has absolutely no strength whatsoever. It doesn't determine if people see adminship as something for life or as something that can/should be revoked, but rather a meaningless question with no right answer. Take me for example, I'm the biggest proponent of systemic change to make it easier to remove the bit from people... but, I have no desire to put some artificial construct such as AOR out there... it is a system that is abused and misused---see the recent attempt on MBiz. It is also a system that leads to some pretty obscure and impossible criteria. Some fo the criteria created are just not going to happen---and it is 100% reliant upon the person who made the campaign promise to live up to it. We've had at least one admin who "promised" not keep the promise when the criteria for her removal came about. I strongly urge you too look up the discussion on why people accross the board hated that question.---I'm Spartacus! 05:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Except no... the MBizanz thing worked exactly as intended: someone brought a frivolous complaint, it withered on the vine. Ironholds has done the right thing in saying "this diff is proof that I will stick to my promise, any crat can direct a steward to desysop me." Can't get around that--unless crats suddenly stop paying attention to what people request. //roux   13:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
