Fisher Queen, you deleted our article on Armorlogic. We entered that article because we saw a competitor's article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_Point and that led to our discovery of literally hundreds of other articles about our competitors and their products with content similar to what we posted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MatthewGWatson (talk • contribs) 15:29, 12 April 2009 (UTC) Please either delete all of the business articles or let us post ours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MatthewGWatson (talk • contribs) 15:31, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

ICL
I was involved in the discussions between ICL and Sun that led to Solaris and/or SVR4.2. What do you need to know? -- Simon Kenyon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simonckenyon (talk • contribs) 14:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't know what ICL stands for, what you mean by "sun" in this context, what you mean by "solaris" in this context, or what SVR4.2 stands for.

 * Hey, I remember this thing that happened... there was a store called "Sun" in the town where I lived. It was, I don't know, maybe six or seven years ago?  One day, all of a sudden, there was just a 'closed' sign on the store, and it was never open again.  No warning, no 'going-out-of-business sale', nothing- it was just gone one day.  It was weird.  I wonder if that was the same organization? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:40, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Check out early American football, where they played with rather less padding and sometimes even without helmets. And they didn't wear helmets in baseball until the 1960s or so. They were real men in those days. Including the ones who ended up with fractured skulls. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 22:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Aye, begorrah! In the days when they were truly the Wide World of Sports, that ABC-TV show used to play a tape of the Irish national hurling championship game every year around Paddy's Day. Guys dressed like soccer players, i.e. unprotected (except hopefully for a cup) - each of them carrying something looking vaguely like a shillelagh, wacking a ball (and each other) from one end of the pitch to the other. A great sport, kind of like a more brutal version of lacrosse. And I see some of them do indeed wear face masks now. Wimps. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 10:50, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Although let's give some credit to goaltenders in the first 4 decades or so of the National Hockey League, who played without masks despite the risk of being hit with a rubber puck flying at 80 miles per hour or whatever. I see old photos sometimes of an attacker bearing down on a maskless goalie and think, "What, are you crazy?" But that's how things were done then. And speaking of hurling, it was said that goalie Glenn Hall used to throw up before every game, due to nerves. That's another story. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 11:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I seem to remember back in the 1980s, when the NFL was trying to popularise American football over here in the UK, an offer was made for an American football team to play a rugby team under NFL rules with padding, helmets, scary face makeup and all the rest, followed by a return match under rugby rules, without padding, helmets or scary chevrons on the face. The Americans refused. Tonywalton Talk 14:49, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Possibly out of reasonable fears of a career-ending injury, which is why American baseball players aren't that keen on participating in the World Baseball Classic, Olympics baseball, etc. Players in various sports have been known to have their careers wrecked in exhibition games. If you're going to have your career wrecked, at least have it in a meaningful game. P.S. Key question: Do Rugby players wear cups? Or do Rugby players require, as the old saying goes, "leather balls"? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 14:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Advice
Hi FisherQueen, could you please look over the dispute between myself and another editor at Bolton Wanderers F.C. and Phil Gartside? Any help and advice on the situation and what to do next would be appreciated! Cheers :-) John Sloan (view / chat) 15:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I left a note on his talk page explaining the problem; he seems to have made the same error you and I did and mistaken a Wikipedia mirror for an independent source. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If Steve can't find the source, what are the chances of WP:IAR being used as a way to end this. I doubt Phil Gartside is going to even read the article, let alone file a lawsult! Also, when it comes to the flags in the infobox, whose interpretation of WP:MOSFLAGS is correct? Thanks John Sloan (view / chat) 16:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think WP:IAR will be useful unless the various participants actually agree on his nationality; the edit-war over whether he is English or Irish was how I first noticed this article, and I certainly don't know the answer. It sounds like he may be one of those many people who has spent portions of his life in both places?  We could email and ask him, which is technically original research...  On the question of flags, I have no opinion.  I think that in general, they cause lots of arguments where everyone's energy could be spent more usefully, but I haven't edited on articles where it's been an issue in the past and haven't studied the question carefully. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:15, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * He's Irish, but he has lived in England for most of his life. This problem started when Gusty the proven troll made it an issue. Now, we managed to shoot his troll opinions about "Trotters" and "Greater Manchester" down with sources. Our only stumbling block with his Gartside claim is the lack of a source. If i'm honest, its bugs me that a proven troll has managed to cause this much trouble. What I mean about using WP:IAR is, leave the irish flag next to Gartside in the Bolton article and add the info back into the Phil Gartside article with a tag next to it. How about that (if of course, Steve can't find a source first)? Thanks for all your help and patience with all of this! :-) John Sloan (view / chat) 16:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't really object, if those things are true information, to the solution you suggest. My knowledge in this area is quite comically absent.  I don't even know anything about the American football team in my own city, much less a soccer team (as we call them on this side of the water) on the other side of the world.  But wave at England for me if you see her! -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just a quick thanks to you, FQ. I am desperately trying to find a club year book, in the hope that it will contain conclusive information about Phil Gartside. Knowing my luck, this will just end in causing further confusion. I too am more than happy with the solution suggested by Mr Sloan; I mean, it's about time common sense was allowed to prevail for once, especially if all parties are in agreement that Mr Gartside is indeed Irish. Here's to hoping we find a reliable source soon! BBMSteve (talk) 17:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

User:194.189.32.65 legal threats and bluster
For what it's worth, the implication in the statement that this is "a widely shared IP, belonging to an organisation as large as the NHS" is complete cobblers - the implication being that "this IP address is used by the whole NHS and blocking it would affect the whole NHS". This IP address is one of a block of addresses at 194.189.32.0/20 - that is, one of approximately 1000 IP addresses, registered to a single NHS trust. Whether the trust managers would be sanguine about the usage to which that IP address is being put is a moot point - recent events in the news show that there may be a certain sensitivity in UK public offices regarding misuse of publicly-funded Internet connections. Also, the IP has been "consulting his solicitor" who is of the opinion that WP is in "direct breach of the Human Rights Act (1999)[sic]". They need a new solicitor; that's the Human Rights Act 1998 (not 1999), and I'm not aware that the remit of either the Human Rights Act (1998) or the ECHR runs as far as Florida. Cheers, Tonywalton Talk 22:17, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

"History" part of Al Qamishli article is offencive towards kurdish population of Qamishli
Hi FisherQueen, I recently received a reply from you on my request to unblock account Kurdish land. You refused to unblock my account on the basis that my contribution was disruptive. I tried to edit Al Qamishli article based on factual unbiased information. I've been resident of Qamishly for my whole life. At the moment I live in UK and a Human rights activist. The History part of article Al Qamishli represents Syrian Authorities opinion, which is discriminational against majority of Al Qamishli population who are Kurds.

I am copying here my reply from the discussion page of Al Qamishli article. Have a read more about this issue from independent sources, not arabic media. "In my knowledge Qamishli is not an Assyrian town historically. During genocide in Turkey Assyrians fled to Syria and settled in a camp in Qamishly as a refugees. The Syrian government then gave them rights as Syrian citizens. Qamishly has always been predominantly kurdish The article Al Qamishli - especially "History" part is factually incorrect and offensive towards Kurdish population. It states someones personal opinion, not historical facts. It says that on 12 March 2004 Kurds start a riot. Have a look at the information regarding this event on Amnesty international and Human Right websites. http://www.amnesty.org.uk/news_details.asp?NewsID=15984 I am surprised that such political discrimination against Qamishli Kurds is allowed on wikipedia. This opinion is of Syrian authorities to protect their crimes against Kurdish population of Qamishli. I hope that administrators will check facts regarding information on this page. I hope that they are aware about arabic-kurdish conflict and understand that article should be impartial to both sides" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qamishlo (talk • contribs) 23:58, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * User:Farhanbavealan, you are not allowed to keep creating new accounts to avoid your block. I have no opinion about your original block, but you are not allowed to create new accounts to avoid that block.  Your account is User:Farhanbavealan; if you can't use that one, you can't edit at all.  If you think you can discuss the most neutral, factual wording for this article- facts that people on both sides can agree with- and can wait to make changes until you reach consensus with other users, then you should request an unblock on your original account. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't want to argue about unblocking my account. I don't know who to discuss the new wording with, who created this article originally? All I see is that users there revert article to original version every time, the one that is offensive against Qamishli kurds. This group of users organized by Syrian authority to offend kurdish population of Qamishli, how am I going to discuss it with them. Read their comments, they write like kurdish nation does not exist. They also create different accounts every time, why they are not blocked.Qamishlo
 * Wikipedia has rules. Following the rules is the only way to get your preferred edits into an article.  There are good ways to fix a problematic article listed at WP:DISPUTE.  But you will not be able to do anything about the article while you are blocked, because blocked users are not allowed to edit.  If you want to improve the article, you'll need to request the unblocking of your account, which is User:Farhanbavealan.  Make sure that your request indicates that you understand the rules about consensus and edit-warring and are planning to follow them.  After that, you can try some of the solutions at WP:DISPUTE to find a better version of that article, one that's neutral.  Editing articles that are part of these major ethnic conflicts is always difficult, because people on both sides have such strong feelings.  You won't be successful unless you understand and follow the rules; if you do understand and follow the rules, you'll be able to make the article better.  To help you believe me, I won't respond to any other messages you leave me from sockpuppet or anonymous accounts; my advice is the only way that you will be able to do what you want to do. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Based on my observations, Farhanbavealan was an WP:SPA used only for edit warring. However, I will assume good faith and unblock based on the condition that he initiate a discussion about his edits on the talk page as opposed to sterile reverting.

 * You might be right; I was puzzled because it seemed like his version was better- written. Anyway, his latest ip said he'd lost his password anyway, so an unblock may be a moot point.   -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

additional comments on 3RR block on 70.71.22.45
Dear FisherQueen,

I am the other editor 70.71.22.45 was referring to in his comments. I don't know 70.71.22.45, and didn't realize she/he had been blocked until last night. However, since I think 70.71.22.45 was just trying to help me, I've added some comments and background about how 70.71.22.45 walked into the 3RR, for the record.

I posted my comments here.

Thanks,

User talk:The Maiden City
(Responding to your comment) Too true! I've been starting to feel that the entire issue of nationalist WP:BATTLEGROUNDing deserves to be under general sanctions. Not just Ireland/UK, not just Israel/Palestine, not just India/Pakistan, not just Eastern Europe, but everywhere. It's gotten to the point where any specific nationalist conflict not under general sanctions ends up giving way too much leniency to users who are here, fundamentally, to use Wikipedia to right great wrongs. You know what else makes me cringe? Unblock requests that are basically, "oh, I'm sorry I didn't spam properly. I promise I will spam according to Wikipedia expectations from now on, please unblock me." Mango juice talk 14:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't even know where Macedonia is, but I don't think I ever want to go there. Just hearing the word makes me break out in hives.  I'd be totally comfortable with a filter that allows us to tag specific articles with a function that makes it impossible to edit them from certain countries- no one in the UK can edit Ireland, no one anywhere in the middle east can edit Israel, etc. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:02, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * (A nosy interjection) FWIW not everyone in the UK or, as far as I know, the Repubic of Ireland, is exercised in any way at all by the (Northern) Ireland question; the majority of people here aren't even particularly interested in it. I suspect that's the case with much of the ranty battling that takes place on WP over whether a certain town or mountain must be spelled with an 'o' or an 'a' to avoid mortal insult to someone's forefathers. That's the trouble with all this nationalist stuff in general (and I don't just mean on WP) - the people doing it seem not to realise (or care) that they are doing their own causes nothing but harm in the eyes of the world in general. Tonywalton Talk 16:10, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * All right, Tony, you can edit Ireland if you like. I recognize that my plan has a few minor, subtle flaws. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:30, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

User:ResearchEditor
Hi FQ,

You're tagging socks (, etc.), I think you're tagging socks of User:ResearchEditor. Unfortunately I can only do a RfCU if the account gets used more than once - see Requests for checkuser/Case/ResearchEditor and Sockpuppet investigations/ResearchEditor/Archive. ResearchEditor uses a lot of throwaway accounts and doesn't tend to revisit the same account, meaning I can't request a checkuser (I read this guidance somewhere but can't find it right now). I requested a hardblock, but apparently that's a no-go. Which makes me sad because I'd be much more productive if I didn't have to track down socks all the time. I don't even bother tagging the accounts anymore. Referring to your comment in this edit summary, ResearchEditor is permablocked for socking (even though his arb hearing was a year block, he managed to up it to indef through abuse of mutliple accounts). WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 00:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that makes me sad, too. And what a tediously stupid thing to devote yourself to sockpuppeting for. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You should see the guy's home page. Nuttier than a Christmas fruitcake.  But if you really, really want to read something interesting, skim the lead of light pollution then read today's entry on Diana Napolis' home page.
 * I take this to mean you have no solutions. Wah!
 * Also sad - once I actually read a book by David Icke. Sucked.  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 01:15, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Diana Napolis really does make me sad. That's a serious mental illness there.  "I really need assistance," she says, about halfway through that blog entry.  Rarely have truer words been spoken. The article says she is legally required to continue taking medication; I wonder whether she is doing so? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:20, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing...no. If you calculate out the years, she's may be past the binding date of her court case.  In any case she's moved to a different state (courtesy of WHOIS on the IP address she used to edit the talk page).  Having matched "wits" with the people who push the satanic ritual abuse BS on wikipedia and off, I find myself having difficulty summoning sympathy.  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 01:34, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "Sad" is not necessarily the same as "sympathetic." What I'm feeling is more... 'It's very sad that they are so seriously mentally ill, and that they don't have anyone to stop them from publicly humiliating themselves and inconveniencing, scaring, or harming others, on the Internet or in public.  I wish there were a better cure for crazy.' -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:36, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll agree with your wish, but for much less sympathetic, much more self-serving reasons. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 12:06, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Undent. Here's a question, do you think page protection would be an option? Single-purpose, blatantly sockpuppet throwaway accounts are doing drive-by edits to the article and reverting to the same version pretty much every day. Indef page protection would pretty much solve the problem - throwaway accounts wouldn't work, and if they ended up accumulating enough edits to actually edit a semiprotected page, that means a RFCU would be allowed (which would also turn up socks who I haven't found yet). What do you think of the idea as an admin? WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 12:51, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea; I have a bad habit of forgetting that I have a 'protect' button. I've slapped it with a month of semiprotection -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Aw, now I've got a crush on you! Could I convince you to add it to Treating Survivors of Satanist Abuse for the same reasons?  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 17:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's that same inadequately medicated user, isn't it? Done. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. FWIW, I don't believe it is Diana Napolis who is sockpuppeting, it's someone else (and I don't want to out them no matter how much they personally annoy me.  Whether they are also undermedicated is a subject of opinion.  Doubtless they would say the CIA mind control medicated them enough already and they're just now undoing the 'orrible damage of being trained as a child assassin through lots of memory work, hypnotherapy and truth serum-assisted visualization sessions.  Why you'd want to train a child as an assassin, I'm not sure.  Yes, I realize there's an article that could be linked to :)
 * Also, what's your opinion (as an admin and as a Brit) of my decision to move U.S. Food and Drug Administration to Food and Drug Administration (United States) versus Food and Drug Administration or even United States Food and Drug Administration? I'm from Canada, we get too much US influence to really be unbiased.  The actual website has "U.S. Food and Drug Administration" at the top, the Health and Human Services website that is the oversight body to the agency uses just Food and Drug Administration, and there do not seem to be a DAB page for agencies calld "Food and Drug Administration" (closest is FDA (disambiguation)).  I may be requesting an undo of my previous move, but irrespective I stand by my decision to not use U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 18:34, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't really have an opinion on the naming. Regarding brainwashed child assassins, I can see how they could be very useful, if deployed cleverly. Not sure that a country would need more than two or three of them, though, as their uses would be pretty specific and limited. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Damn, guess I'm off to WT:MED. One advantage of the CIA child assassin was apparently their ability to maneuver through ductworks and other small spaces.  Not sure why you wouldn't use someone with dwarfism in a constume instead.  And I don't care how small you are, you still make noise crawling through a box made of tin.  Wait, why am I trying to be logical?  THEY'VE SUCKED ME IN!!!!  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 18:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Dwarfism is notorious for coming along with serious joint problems; I'm thinking that recruiting someone who is a dwarf with no joint problems and who is interested in becoming a government assassin would be pretty tricky. It might be easier to just kidnap and brainwash children. Alas, I'm not aware of any nonfictional technology that would make that possible, but that's the only flaw I can see in the plan. Unless we consider the ethical problem a flaw... -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Undent. No worries, they've actually got a plan for that - see, they (whoever "they" are, possible contestants include the CIA, the worldwide satanic conspiracy, Freemasons, baby-eating alien-lizard hybrids and transdimensional baby-eating alien-lizard hybrids) use torture and drugs to induce an endless series of alternate personalities, each with a specific role - assassin, baby breeder, sex slave, footstool, the list is endless. So really, they could use anyone as an assassin because their techniques are just that good. Oh, and the technique was created by a Satanic Jew (?) working with the Nazis (??) who then moved to the United States to work for the CIA (???) who control the entire world but leave no evidence except for children who finally break their programming after months of coercive questioning and grown-ups recovering their memories of this abuse after months of therapy, and then go on to pronounce the conspiracy of world-controlling CIA/Freemasons/Satanists/baby-eating alien-lizard hybrids/transdimensional baby-eating alien-lizard hybrids on Geraldo. I think the specific techniques involve drugs, torture (that leaves no physical evidence), and a box of some sort. It's all very complicated. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 20:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What a great story. I wonder if they do business with private individuals?  I could really use a sex slave.  Or just someone to clean the cat litter.  I don't particularly want a child sex slave, though, which sounds about as useless as a neon curtain.  I wonder if Geraldo could put me in touch with these folks?  -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Geraldo recanted, indicating just how crazy satanic ritual abuse is now seen. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 01:23, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * One more for your review (please scrutinize rather than taking me at my word) - Ralph Underwager? WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 01:33, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Zap! I have put a +1 Shield of Protection against Idiocy on that article. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:00, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ha, I'm reading another book on satanic ritual abuse and it turns out that a +1 shield will only slow things down. Needs at least a ring of protectino +3 and bracers of blinding strike.
 * Thanks! WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 22:16, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That was my whimsical way of saying that I semiprotected rather than fully protecting it; as you know, semiprotection slows down, but doesn't always stop, determined disrupters. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:59, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank You!
I had no idea about all of that stuff concerning those two companies aside from one appearing to capitalize on the other's reputation after the fact. Thanks for being the voice of reason and restoring my faith in the wiki process!--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 05:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I kind of feel for the guy, and was assuming that we'd next discuss how to best indicate that there are two companies with the same name in this situation, but he made the legal threat immediately, which made the whole question irrelevant. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I put a DAB link on the ATC page when I kind of realized what was going on. I still think it's odd that I've been a knife and tomahawk collector for 30 years and this was the first I had heard of this conflict.  I found this last night when doing searches: I think the ethical thing to do is allow each one to state their case.  There does not seem to be much published about the Cold Steel use of the name, however.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 12:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Alwaysright101
You may wish to reconsider your 48 hour block of User:Alwaysright101. Even though technically in violation of 3rr if you include the IP edit, after recieving information about edit wars being a bad thing, the editor, rather than reverting made a good faith modification edit rather than reversion edit. Also, such a block after your editing of the article for content reasons could be considered bad form. -- The Red Pen of Doom  12:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Really? I didn't think that was a good-faith modification, but removing a word to dramatically change the meaning to make a point- notice that the change he made means something completely different than the version he's edit-warring for.  Tell you what, though- if he says he's willing to discuss his desired changes, I'll undo it. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! He is not the only one in the history of the page who has had issues with the inclusion of that word. I think it was a legitimate move by a newbie to attempt to bring the article in line with his/her understanding of the topic without violating the 3rr. -- The Red Pen of Doom  17:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * From a purely grammatical standpoint, with or without the word in question, "Thing is the advantages" is simply wrong. I've been bold and at least put a singular noun in there to match the singular verb. Tonywalton Talk 22:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Administrator rodhullandemu
Following on from my previous blocking, I have now resumed editing. I reverted edits made to the page "Cilla Black", removing all the unsourced, unverified and unreliable comments. The administrator "rodhullandemu" posted a message on my talk page saying that he would allow the edits. Prevously he deleted the exact same edits, claiming he thought it was "butchery". Hardly consistent. For whatever reason, he seems to insist on posting comments to my User talk page. I have deleted them as they seem deliberately provocative and I do not intend to rise to his bait and earn another block. After removing the last of his comments, I also posted a warning on the page regarding unwanted comments. This warning was COPIED directly from rodhullandemu's talk page. It seemed to me that if it is appropriate for his page, then it must be appropriate for mine or indeed any other user. He not only deleted the warning, but deleted my entire talk page. I have now had to recreate this. On the last occasion I complained about his behavior, his uncivil manner - he has previously called me a "troll", a "loser" and a "whinger" - he belittled me by describing my complaints as "whingeing". I trust that as an administrator who has involved herself in this dispute in the past, you will not take the same attitude and will assist me in stopping this administrator from abusing me and abusing his power. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.16.217 (talk) 23:56, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

As a footnote, having agreed the edits I made to the Cilla Black page, administrator rodhullandemu has now reversed them and locked the page. I expect to receive a block within the next few minutes. It's a shame that administrators abuse the 'powers' that wiki grants them. He is not the first administrator to lock pages and issue bans simply because he cannot get his own way. I would be very interested to know your thoughts on my "whingeing". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.16.217 (talk) 02:44, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that Wikipedia is entirely build on people of good faith, working together peacefully even when they disagree.  I think that your recent edits do nothing to make the article better, and are simply you disrupting the article to make a point.  I also think that your aggressive insistence on being offended where there is no offense and your apparent unwillingness to discuss your desired changes politely with other people more or less guarantee that you won't get your desired edits into the article, where a person who was better at working together with others might.  I doubt your claim that User:Rodhullandemu agreed that the article should be gutted of content, especially as I can't find any examples of your discussing it on the talk page at all.  And, yes, I think that many of your comments are complaints with little basis in fact and no likelihood of a positive result, which, in my country, we call 'whining.' -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:56, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know why I bothered. I was advised not to appeal to you specifically, but I thought it was worth the shot. As a final note, I will just point out that in deleting my User Talk page, rodhullandemu also successfully deleted the entire history of the back and forth that had occured before I contacted you. I don't know how he did that, but as an administrator, it is clearly within his power. Shoot the insults, create the problem and then hide your tracks. Very egalitarian. Very honest. Very professional. Enjoy the benefits of belonging to the administrator's club, where wiki laws no longer apply. It clearly does something for you both. From my view point, it just makes you very sad individuals. Good bye. Good luck. But above all, good riddance to you both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.16.217 (talk) 11:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Goodbye, then. Wikipedia requires civility and cooperation; if those aren't things you enjoy, you wouldn't have been very happy here anyway. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:08, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Much easier for you to patronize than to engage in any research into what this administrator is actually up to. Civility is a stranger to him, and it appears, to you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.16.217 (talk) 12:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought you were leaving forever? Since you never substantiated your claims with any evidence, and since the evidence against you was obvious, I didn't take your claims seriously at all.  That's what happens when you are outrageously rude to others; others tend not to think highly of you, or believe what you say.  You've demonstrated very clearly why your strategy doesn't work; if you choose to continue using it anyway, I don't think there's anything else I can do to help you.   -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Meh. All the "English-English"/"American-English" language wars, come to that similar wars regarding US as opposed to GB foreign policy come down to this – what we Brits need to realise is that Yanks are actually not Britain, you're a different nation, just like what Laos is, or Portugal (but a bit bigger). As a great writer once said: …he realised now that Americans were foreigners and not, as he had thought at home, a kind of obstinate Colonial English, who persisted in speaking and behaving in a queer and rather objectionable fashion.

Puppetmaster?
I'm tired and off to bed, but I think that 144xwhatever has been arguing against any link at all, whereas MarkaCohen clearly wants a link. I may be confused again - it was on the Leuchter talk page. Dougweller (talk) 21:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It looked more to me like Buncho'numbers appeared coincidentally in that discussion at his first edit and jumped into the conversation, where he claimed to be against including the link but still suggested how to include it, then coincidentally found the ANI thread and defended the other user just as he was allowing himself to be talked into including the link. I also thought that their writing styles were quite similar, and that MyNameIsMath had the same interesting failure to notice that the link they were discussing was already in the article.  My reading was that it was just one of those rare occasion when sockpuppets are used competently, but I'm open to the possibility that it was all just a big coincidence. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Ah, but the phrase is "don't pose as a Jew," and in the context, that user is indeed posing as a Jew, with his use of the word 'kosher,' is he not? I can see how a real Jewish person would find that annoying, and it's not quite the same thing as saying "You're a Jew poser," which would be a pretty insulting phrase.  I think this person may be seeing attacks where there are none, as when he assumed that I was attacking him by suspecting that he was using more than one account. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:09, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just looked at his talk page; he says is is Jewish? Weird; from his edits, I assumed he was another of our endless parade of anti-semites.  Well, my only involvement here is in blocking the account I believed to be a sockpuppet, and I don't know the dude's edits very well. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:12, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Soliton
Two editors have removed a cited direct quotation from the Soliton article (an article that has precious few inline citations) stating that the quotation is not relevant. I consider that it is relevant, they consider that it is not. They have suggested creating another article but that seems ridiculous to me considering the article is still little more than a stub. May I please have some advice about how to progress this stalemate? Please refer article talk page.

Thanking you in anticipation
