Trolling, and using Wikipedia as an axe grinder, please help?editI hope I am following proper procedure here, someone should take a look at this entry, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Straight_Dope_Message_Board&oldid=18307131 specifically at the changes user MichaelCaricofe made. One person (Evil Monkey) has already reverted the article in the past in favor of MichaelCaricofe, and admits they didn't even read the reversion, just assumed that the anonymous person was the jerk. Let it be said, that I don't back what some of the other anonymous people have done to either of them, I just don't want Wikipedia to be used as this troll's soapbox. Here are some links you might find useful in getting to understand this situation, I'm not a turd smoker, I'm a watcher of turd smoker, what they dub "anti-anon". Here is their "snark pit" entry about the Wikipedia trolling. http://www.deadjournal.com/users/anonpitmod/72154.html I do not think that the incident belongs on the entry, because it's just rehashing the event, trying to dredge up sympathy for a person who got banned. I'm not saying I agree with what happened to cause the whole blow up either, but I also think Michael has taken up the mantle of troll, he's depressed, disturbed, and has an axe to grind, so he should be recused from comment about the place. In any case, this could get REALLY ugly, based on what the turd smokers are capable of, and based on Michael's (once known as Stage Manager on the SDMB)admitted severe depression/recently suicidal mood. The anons, btw, don't represent the whole of the SDMB, not by far, they are a minority, though they'd like to think they have a lot of power. They can, and do however work very hard at snarking, and like it when their targets feel the sting. ETA: The turd smoking people also use randomizers etc. by their own admissions in the past, (in one of the many incarnations of their snark boards) so blocking their ISP might not be an option. ETA: my signature, I'm not a member yet, but I hope to be someday. 68.103.67.214 7 July 2005 06:29 (UTC) ImpersonationeditYou seem to be blocking a lot of impersonators lately. Any tips on tracking them down? Mgm|(talk) 22:00, May 6, 2005 (UTC) About your star pictureseditHi, I'm an active user on the Spanish Wikipedia wondering if the star images (Image:Cscr-candidate.png, Image:Cscr-featured.png, and such) are free for use on the other Wikipedias. We're currently organizing our feautured articles and having templates similar to the ones on this wiki would be great. You can answer me either here or here.--Fito 01:46, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
Robo_Donut articaleditIt has come to my attention that someone has created me a wikipedia page. He is not me, but an individual who happens to be very bored at a LAN party. I am sorry that he has wasted your time and created a completely useless topic on this great site.
Template:MountaineditHi. This template is a part of WikiProject Mountains. While there may be a new process for standardizing templates, I think projects should be given a chance to voice their opinions on a change to one of their templates before it's changed unilaterally by someone not actively involved in the project. RedWolf 08:00, May 7, 2005 (UTC) Another imposter!editI just saw another imposter on RC: User:JmoIiver. The "I" is on the fourth letter. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:11, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Zscout370 (talk) 17:19, 7 May 2005 (UTC) DYKeditWe seem to have collided in updating DYK. You didn't even see my inuse notice. I'm not using the Railway article because it's much more stubby than the others. Hope you don't mind. Mgm|(talk) 19:13, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
ThankseditIs that so? Thanks for the welcome and the tip. Jim BeIl 19:40, 7 May 2005 (UTC) Hi. I don't know whether you know of User:JMBell, but this user seems to be a pretty clear impersonation or similar. Added to that, his user name is JIM BEIL, with an I (i), which is a trait of an impersonation vandal I blocked last night. Just so you know, cheers, Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 19:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
Nice one! Jim Bell 20:35, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
This template is really useful (congratulations on the design, btw), but I have one concern. Does impersonation really get someone banned? I thought it got them blocked... Could you verify this for me? I know its semantics, but it is important in this case. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 20:41, 7 May 2005 (UTC) (edit conflict count: 4)
ProtectioneditI've removed the protection from your talk page, as other users do want to contact you, as I've heard from IRC, and it's not good form to stop others from contacting you. You also didn't provide reason why you protected both your talk and user pages. Dysprosia 07:27, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for going about the impostor blocking. However, User:SPUl was not an impostor; I created it as a preemptive measure, and there's no reason to block it (not like it would be useful as a sockpuppet, being meant to be confused with me). --SPUI (talk) 07:28, 8 May 2005 (UTC) Thanks, not a problem. --SPUI (talk) 19:41, 8 May 2005 (UTC) AMAeditHi. I recently added myself to the AMA list and, as I am happy to be actively involved at the moment, wondered if I should add myself to the list on Wikipedia:AMA_Advocates_accepting_inquiries (or whether some other process had to take place before I went on that list). Also, I left a note on Adam756's talk page but it looks like he is not currently contributing. Do you know if the AMA is still active and if Adam756 is still active as the coordinator? Cheers. TigerShark 15:01, 8 May 2005 (UTC) RfC Trey StoneeditHello, according to a message you left on his talk page, you blocked user Trey Stone for 24 hours on March 19 for "user page vandalism, making personal attacks, and violating the three revert rule". I have just opened an RfC on him Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Trey Stone and it would be most helpful if you could add information about those problems to that page; I couldn't find an entry for the block on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR. If you'd care to add anything else to that RfC it would be most helpful. Thanks, -- Viajero 12:50, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Re: Imposter HuntingeditThank you for your message. After I was impersonated on another wikipedia site I went to all of the others and created my username there as a redirect to this one. The one you have located was a deliberate ploy of mine to take the username and keep it as a dummy, before anyone else tried to. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 00:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC) Accusation of vandalizingeditHello, ClockworkSoul. At last I know an administrator. First, I want to say that SqueakBox is vandalizing my talk page. He includes a dialogue that has nothing to do with me and text that belongs to the talk page of a former nick of mine I use no more because I discover too late that the name did not comply with the Wikipedia rules. I have reported it. I hope you will be a fair behavior and you will not make distinctions. Besides, I am not vandalizing anybody. The user SqueakBox in his user page includes a badge saying that he has gone beyond the call of duty and I do not know what things more. He is a very difficult user who has had a lot of problems with many users because he makes kind of erratic edits. Simply take a look at his talk page. For example a user complain for the following: "Any reason to keep editing my Fidel Castro remarks? You a Castro accolyte? Tell me how Forbes saying he has 500 million dollars is not factual information worthy of being on the guy's bio?" I do not like him including anything that looks like official when as far as I know he has never made any useful contribution. He only wants to project an image of being a "Wiki hero" to humilliate those who are attacked and insulted by him. I believe that is not the Wikipedia way. He also has the photograph of a cat and he uses offensive language to refer to him. I am unable to tolarate that attitute towards animals. Besides, SqueakBox has made something I consider pure vandalism. He went to the article José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. It was very long, so a month ago it was broken into several parts. He went to the extended articles, Zapatero's years as an opposition leader, Zapatero and the Local and Regional Elections of 2003, Zapatero and the 2004 General Election, Zapatero's domestic policy and Zapatero's foreign policy and substituted its text by a REDIRECT statement to the main article José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to hamper its recovery and has removed from the it the links to them to avoid honest users accessing them. Besides, he has a very unpleasent apporach towards me. For example, he says that the article "I made" of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is very bad, that I have no idea of what an Encyclopedia has to be and a lot of other things. If you go to the article you will find it was edited by a lot of people and I do not understand why it is my article and not that of other person. Thank you for your attention. Zapatancas 09:16, 12 May 2005 (UTC) Did you know?editUserpageeditI hope you don't mind but I stole the code for the layout of your user page - it's quite clever and neat. I was just wondering if you're ok with it, then could you tell me how to space the columns out better? Thanks. ♪ Craigy ♫ 06:39, May 13, 2005 (UTC) Can you come here and not only see if you can solve the situation but also to see if I am doing anything illegal here. I was listed as a vandal for reasons that to me, are probably out of spite or disagreement. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 00:13, 14 May 2005 (UTC) BarnstarseditYou seemed to have issued a number of Barnstars, so maybe you can answer me this: I want to award Bishonen a Barnstar for his article on European toilet paper holders, but I'm not sure if he qualifies because it is apart of his user page. The article was featured (for a very short period of time) on the main page this past April 1st, and really is of feature quality. Anyway, does he qualify for a Barnstar? *Kat* 05:41, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Zscout and Clockworksoul! And I agree with Clockworksoul, the Oddball Barnstar is in order here.*Kat* 07:24, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
Brazillian Wandering SpidereditHi, I see that you negotiated with the owner of the copyrighted Brazillian Wandering Spider image for permission to put in in the English Wikipedia. Would you mind trying to get the same permission for the Wikipedia Commons so that I could use the image in the Chinese language version without lots of work-arounds? Thanks. 金 (Kim) 08:19, 14 May 2005 (UTC) Thanks for your quick reply. Actually, there are two or more different ways of giving permission on the Commons. Part of the reason is that European restrictions may be more strict. I think you could probably find some way of letting people use his picture for non-commercial and/or educational purposes only. If you have a feeling for what he wants to protect himself from you might have a look at the Commons upload area where they give links to the various kinds of permissions templates and see whether there appears to be anything there that might fit his needs. 金 (Kim) 07:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC) MediationeditHiya.... I see you are still on the list of "request to be mediator". That is long enough and time to really do it :-) Here is the deal : Aesthetic Realism. We had a formal request for help on the board list... it seems a good nest for a mediator. Would you jump in it ? (please, say yes) Cheers. Anthere 08:47, 14 May 2005 (UTC) FACeditHey, I was wondering what should I do on this. I am trying to get an article to become Featured, called Hero_of_Belarus. The Hero of Belarus is a title that is awarded by the Republic of Belarus to those who perform great deeds in the name of the State. It is the Belarussian version of the Hero of the Soviet Union. After I am done with the article, I want to invite people to come in, comment on it, and then put it up on WP:FAC. I was wondering if you can help. Regards, Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:02, 15 May 2005 (UTC) Cascading coffee rolleditThere's been some talk about rolling the standard template design into the local Mediawiki stylesheets.

My sigeditThank you for your kind remark! ℬastique▼talk 03:53, 16 May 2005 (UTC) Please help mediate the Aesthetic Realism disputeeditNot sure why my post here yesterday didn't show up, perhaps I forgot to hit Save Page after Preview. In any event, Yes, for the love of god please help us mediate the Aesthetic realism dispute! Aesthetic realism is a philosophy encompassing art, psychology, and personal therapy. I don't dispute the philosophy itself, but I contend that the group that promotes its study (the Aesthetic Realism Foundation) operates as a cult. I was born into the group, as was my mother, since her parents were involved. I had a "lesson" with the founder/leader Eli Siegel at the advanced age of two. My concern about the article is that the AR people censor any criticism from the article or otherwise whitewash it. My first contribution to the article was adding a single sentence, something like "Some complain that the group that promotes its study operates as a cult." The AR people removed that sentence. I added it back, they removed it, etc. Eventually other Wikipedians decried the bias in the article, so the AR people finally allowed the link to stand, but they kept excising other points that appeared in the article. I added a note that Eli Siegel killed himself, they removed it, I added it back, they removed it, etc. They also filled the article with cheerleading so it read more like an advertisement than an encyclopaedic entry. As I write this I feel the article is actually in pretty good shape. I do have a few specific objections, but the article is still much, much better than it used to be. I have no problem with the AR people telling their side of the story but I feel that criticism should be fairly represented. What I'd like to get out of mediation, besides some kind of agreement about the article content, is some kind of negotiated truce that neither side will edit the article any further except pursuant to some other condition, such as the edits first being floated on the Talk page, receiving support from established Wikipedians (e.g., ten articles edited prior to August 2004), and such Wikipedians making the changes themselves, not me or the AR people. I'm flexible on the details of course, I just don't want your effort to be wasted with brand-new edit wars starting right after we reach a hard-won agreement. Thank you very much for your help, Michaelbluejay 05:46, 16 May 2005 (UTC) Can I get a newcomer barnstar?editI've been a fervent contributor to wikipedia also have my signature on other forums with wikipedia and love wiki. just check out some of my original contributions. one has already been featured in the "india portal" Wikipedia:Wikiportal/India titled "Biryani" under "Cuisine" which was a painstaking original contribution. I've added many other such titles and there has been a gap in contribution due to personal reasons, else I think I deserve the newcomer award. Heh, maybe i'm just boasting myself and i don't have a sense of humility, but hey what the i'm giving it a shot. maybe i'll get some medal. btw, i'm also currently undertaking a project to tabulate and add photos to all the boxers. please check out boxers like Jack Johnson and Sugar Ray Leonard to see what i'm talking about. i hope someone also can help with this. i hope if u r not the person who awards the barnstars please tell me to whom i should approach to get one. thanks. a very eager eyed wikipedian. Idleguy 12:19, May 16, 2005 (UTC) Re: Mediation for Aesthetic Realism controversy. I am 66.114.86.135 (username Aperey)editDear ClockworkSoul, I am the person (Arnold Perey, PhD) who asked for mediation on the entry Aesthetic Realism. I wanted, and still want, protection against the depradations of one Michael Bluejay. He wants to do in Wikipedia what he has done on his web pages: alter the truth in order to hurt innocent and decent people: doctors, artists, teachers, scholars, who study the philosophy Aesthetic Realism. His involvement with a pre-existing attack on Aesthetic Realism began about half a year ago. This previous attack is described on "Friends of Aesthetic Realism--Countering the Lies". There you will get a little history. To establish the truth--that Aesthetic Realism is about as far from being a cult as New York University is--"Friends of Aesthetic Realism" has posted statments by many people (the friends) who are eyewitnesses to what Aesthetic Realism is and to how the Aesthetic Realism Foundation teaches it. They take up, one by one, the lies intended to damage Aesthetic Realism which are posted on Mr. Bluejay’s (and associated) web pages. Since the last update, more lies have been told which are as ugly as the first ones. Mr. Bluejay--unlike the "Friends"--is not really an eyewitness. A number of the friends--like the people who post on Bludjay's web pages--are former students of Aesthetic Realism who now do not study it. One difference is they sign their names and they tell the truth. Most of Mr. Blujay’s sources are anonymous, and one doesn't know how many or few people actually wrote the entries. Still, their motives should be asked about: Do they have good will? Do they care about telling the truth? In his communication to you, ClockworkSoul, Mr. Bluejay presents himself as the innocent victim of a number of unreasonable "AR people" who obliterate his links. I am the one person--an anthropologist, teacher, and writer (perey-anthropology.net)--who has been trying to keep the entry on Aesthetic Realism fair to it--it was I who made all the changes. There are no mysterious "AR people." I even wrote the original entry some time last October or so. It's always been the same IP, or now the same username Aperey [now that I learned about logging in, a few weeks ago that are connected with the changes Mr. Bluejay is upset by. And he surely is savvy enough to know this. He once worked for Microsoft. I suppose, too, that if you look at the history of discussions concerning the Aesthetic Realism page--and the entry on Eli Siegel too--you will see that Mr. Bluejay is not just, as he states, "receiving support from established Wikipedians." I'd say Wikipedians are divided. As I remember, there was one early entry that noted the only interest a certain "anon" had in Wikipedia was his desire to put things about "cult" in the Aesthetic Realism entry. That "anon" was Mr. Bluejay--and he then registered and logged in when I "outed" him in the discussions. You will notice, perhaps, that the blatant ill will and the copiousness of his insertions became somewhat subdued after I asked for mediation. Prior to that, it was a free-for-all--with some strategic restraint. I admit I may have been too hasty in my deletions. In fact, I was shocked by the ill will I saw in what he kept inserting, and felt I couldn't stand for people to read it unopposed. It was so bad! As a “newbie” I’ve had to learn the ropes. The deletions were not a cult conspiracy. They were my attempt to have the truth known cleanly. If you are sensitive to style, you will see that Mr. Bluejay thrusts things into the text which are intended to shock and discredit--including a link to his page "Eli Siegel killed himself" or "Eli Siegel, founder of Aesthetic Realism, committed suicide," his search engine title. And it is a page where he uses *very* bold text to make his shocking point. I think it is unnecessary, in an article that is about a philosophy, to make a point of how its founder died. Meanwhile information about Eli Siegel's death is on the Web for all to see and has been since 1985, I think. The circumstances of his dying are also made clear in my entry in "Friends of Aesthetic Realism--Countering the Lies" and some other entries, and that ought to be enough. Blujay claims HIS phrase--Eli Siegel killed himself--HAS to be in Wikipedia, and complains that the "AR people" (namely, me) deleted it--but he never asked why. He never inquired what the people who are must concerned felt was right. I submit that if you look at the entry on George Harrision who, it is understood, died with dignity at the home of a friend, all that is said is: "George died at the home of a friend in Los Angeles, California on Thursday, November 29, 2001, at the age of only 58. His death was ascribed to lung cancer that had metastasized to the brain." And if you look at the entry on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis who also died in a similar way, we have, simply, “she was diagnosed with lymphoma, a form of cancer, and died from it at her Fifth Avenue apartment in her sleep on May 19 that year.” It is sad to have to argue about the death of a person, Eli Siegel, who was great, and whose philosophy Mr. Bluejay says he does not "dispute." What he and some others call being a "critic" of Aesthetic Realism is really not that. Criticism is not trying to tear apart a good or beautiful thing. A critic tries to see what a thing really is, and show people truthfully what it really is--what Matthew Arnold called "the object as in itself it really is." But Bluejay and some others want Aesthetic Realism and the Aesthetic Realism Foundation to appear to be a "cult"--that no one will want to study this philosophy. I am one of the personal victims of his web pages. (He has begun to call me "cultist Arnold Perey.") In them he has smeared Aesthetic Realism, the founder of this philosophy, and the persons who now study and teach it. (See michaelbluejay.com/x) It is not true that "he has no dispute" with the philosophy, for every source he links to maligns it egregiously. (See his webpages michaelbluelay.com/x --and they malign the educational institute that teaches it, calling us a "cult." Over time he has escalated his attacks by posting anonymous "exposes" and links to tabloid-style writings--writings which have little consideration for the truth. Call them "hatchet jobs."
In fact, he has little first hand acquaintance with the philosophy and even less with the Foundation that teaches it. As I indicated above, apparently just this year he got himself entangled with a small group and their decade-long history of attacking Aesthetic Realism. Ellen Mali of Evergreen, Colorado and her son Adam, whom I also knew, are the longest-term attackers. Once again, you contacted me under my IP number, which is 66.114.86.135. My login is Aperey. I have put the controversial discussion in a separate category. As I noted, this was done in Wikipedia for the attacks on John Kerry and the same should be done for Aesthetic Realism. I hope we ALL can have an exact and truthful dialog.
