Jtkiefer's RFA
Hi,. Thank for supporting my RFA! Even though I did not get a consensus vote of approval I have learned a lot by reading the comments provided by my peers and appreciate your support. Thanks again. Jtkiefer T - 04:42, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Jtkiefer's RFA
Coolcat, thank you for supporting me, I appreciate it. Jtkiefer T - 04:51, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

kmccoy's RFA
Coolcat, thanks for your support on my RFA. Once I get a better internet connection, I'll use your IRC bot to help EXTERMINATE. :) kmccoy (talk) 04:44, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Couter Vandalism Unit
I don't know how much RC patroling you do, I noticed you reverting a few vandals, so here it goes... You may find my bot on irc.freenode.net #en.wikipedia.vandalism intriguing. Feel free to use/try it. Cat chi? 23:14, 2 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I do very little, but I like to be aware of things, so I'll check it out. Thanks! --Jimbo Wales 11:04, 3 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Your white list ide (irc) is nice and not hard to implement. Who could provide me such a whitelist? Also can do a blacklist. :) Cat chi? 17:21, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Article writing
I'm sorry you feel you can't do this anymore -- I don't know you very well, but from what I've seen you do important work in neglected areas. I don't know anything about Kurdistan (well...very little), so I'm afraid I can't be of much assistance, but I hope a time will come soon when you can go back to article writing. Even if you do present a POV (not surprising if true -- we all have a bias, although I think many of us do our best not to let it guide us), I can't believe it's in Wikipedia's best interest for people to harass you into silence -- we need all the help we can get, and from what I've seen, you tend to be polite and clear on talk pages, which I think should allow anyone who disagrees with your edits to work things out through compromise. In short, I'm sorry you feel frustrated. Let me know if ever I can be of assistance. Jwrosenzweig 01:22, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar
I am giving you this barnstar to let you know that I too feel your Wikistress. Take care, D. J. Bracey (talk) 00:59, 7 August 2005 (UTC)



If you're not an adm. I'll be glad to nominate you. D. J. Bracey (talk) 00:59, 7 August 2005 (UTC)


 * No, I am no admin. This is the first time someone suggested nommination. I do not want to self nominate but do not object to any nominations. :) Cat chi? 13:37, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Japanese war atrocities
Do you think the POV and cleanup tags are still needed at List of Japanese War Atrocities? The article has been improved a lot...CharlesZ 18:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The tag was removed long ago. Maybe the article title can be improved to (by moving) Alleged Japanese war atrocities as there is a lack of acceptance of the incident according to some views. Cat chi? 19:09, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile I'll review the page. Cat chi? 19:09, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for spam... I notice you added a test note...
I am currently in discussions with Ozemail regarding persistent vandalism that has been occuring from the following IP addresses in their network:


 * 203.166.96.234 (talk • contribs • [ page moves] • block user • [ block log])
 * 203.166.96.235 (talk • contribs • [ page moves] • block user • [ block log])

 * 203.166.99.252 (talk • contribs • [ page moves] • block user • [ block log])

I need assistance with all the specific items of vandalism. I have setup a page to gather this evidence at User:Ta bu shi da yu/Ozemail.

I need your help! Please use the format:


 * '''13:30, 5 August 2005
 * Added abusive text to Ta bu shi da yu user page

We'll see just how good their service is at responding to this sort of thing - we should be supporting any company that assists us. Therefore, I'm hoping that the Wikipedia spirit of cooperation and immense amount of volunteers will help with tracking down vandal edits.

If Ozemail gives a good response, we can use them as an example of a good ISP, and maybe even shame AOL into assisting us (we get lots of vandalism from them).

Ta bu shi da yu 01:51, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I did read a similar note on the Ips' userpage. I am not sure if the ISP believes they are resposible of their users actions... A responsible ISP is. If all ISPs were responsible no such thing as spam would ever exist. I am just pessimistic. :( Cat chi? 10:13, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Nomination
You're nominated. Except proposal here []. Take care, D. J. Bracey (talk) 04:21, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Scout ranks
Just wondering if you were going to expand on the Boy Scouts of America rank pages you created. It seems like if you intended them to stay the way they are now, a list would have been better. Why have 6-7 pages when one would do? Dismas 20:22, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, being a scout myself rank insignias and rank itself has deep meaning and requirements. I think they each can be a page as there is enough material. I am trying to write uniform articles. Eagle rank was writtrn before I starte dthis. Currently I am working on images. Cat chi? 20:26, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I was a Scout in days past, made Eagle too, so I understand what you mean about the personal meaning. I was just curious if you intended to expand them.  I just didn't see the point if they were basically just image placeholders.  If you want any help with anything, let me know.  Dismas 20:36, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


 * We can work together to write about the rank isings and ranks. It has been a while I had been a scout. :/ Cat chi? 20:41, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Each will not be any longer than the eagle scout page I think (of course the longer the better). Cat chi? 20:44, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Rename Coolcat -> Cool_Cat
I would love to have this minor adjustment :) Cat chi? 17:07, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Renaming
I'm renaming you right now, just so you know. Pakaran 00:06, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, User:Cool Cat already exists... is there another name you'd prefer? Pakaran 00:07, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * That's my second account, sockpuppet. Which I was going to use for a bot but havent yet. Cat chi? 00:53, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Re:Nomination
I'm sorry that the nomination did not work well for you. I went on ahead and decided to put in the RfA because you had stated "I don't reject to any nominations." I hope everything works out well for you in the future. Take care, D. J. Bracey (talk) 22:32, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well was a bold nice attempt. Too many people hate me and not enough people love me. Half of the votes were rather impolite IMHO. Cat chi? 22:47, 9 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I am glad you are taking the situation well. D. J. Bracey (talk) [[Image:Flag of California.png|25px]] 22:54, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Tznkai
Did you ask his permission before making the adminship nomination? SlimVirgin (talk) 02:37, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, on IRC Cat chi? 04:18, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks, Coolcat. SlimVirgin (talk) 05:48, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

WP:SUCKS
What is the point of this redirect? Dmn  € Դմն 13:21, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * BJODN, just on IRC people referance this nono existent page abusively ;). WP doesnot suck :P hence the NOT in rempte article :) Cat chi? 14:42, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Func's RfA :)
Coolcat, I appreciated your vote for my adminship, thank you.

Please never hesitate to let me know if you have concerns with any administrative action I may make.

Your behavior
Your behavior is unacceptable. Continued disruption will result in a permanent ban. Eyeon 13:22, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Amusing. Cat chi? 13:28, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Star Wars
I am terribly sorry if I did not follow the correct procedure. However, I did not commit any vandalism, and I added an edit summary, just like you requested. Yet you still took my edits as vandalism. Anyway, what do I need to do to suggest a larger change of any page, before doing so? Because I do believe the Star Wars page needs lots of edits and better organization. --E.P.I.C. 22:23, 13 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry, I just saw too much info removed. You may want to post changes in talk and discuss with other editors. Introducing Star wars to Help:Contents was an honest mistake I believe. Cat chi? 22:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I apologise for falsely accusing. Cat chi? 22:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

By 'talk' I presume you mean using the discussion page of the 'Star Wars' article, right? Don't worry, you are doing your job. --E.P.I.C. 22:33, 13 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes. Talk page of article is the discussion page. :) Cat chi? 22:39, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Very well, thank you for guiding me. I promise it'll be the last time. Now I must go sleep... --E.P.I.C. 23:02, 13 August 2005 (UTC)


 * You did nothing wrong. Aside from adding star wars to Help:Contents which is an honest mistake as far as I am concerned. There is no wikipedia guideline declaring what you did as wrong. It is recomended to use talk for large edits, but it is just a recomendation. Do not feel discouraged. Cat chi? 23:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
You may want to do an RFC on the article title for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and also possibly post requests on the Talk pages of any appropriate WikiProjects. When given enough eyeballs, the Wikipedia editors usually choose the most accurate title (see Côte d'Ivoire and Mumbai for examples). Blank Verse  ∅ 23:56, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Karl Meier
Hey Coolcat, I was wondering that if I made another RFC for Karl/Stereotek, would you endorse it? It seems that we have both been victims of his wikistalking.Heraclius 17:13, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I may, I have to investigate the nature of your dispute, do understand I have to be very careful or I will only give Stereotek an excuse to stalk further. Cat chi? 17:19, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not that we have a "dispute" per se. Karl has an anti-Islamic point of view and there's nothing wrong with that.  However, he seems to target people that don't agree with his POV.  Also, I don't think you need to worry about him stalking you more.  He seems to have chosen me as his next "target".Heraclius 17:22, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Ataturk
Yes, i responded. I was trying to say that any accusation of Ataturk in connection with an Armenian genocide is so baseless that it doesn't even warrant attention.--E.A 19:31, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the articles
Coolcat,

Thank a lot for your contributions. I ended up in wikipedia during an article search in Washington Post, and ended up spending half my workday going through articles.

The information that you provided on GAP project was very insightful. I am a Turkish Citizen, and I have learned some details that I didn't know. Especially, I was not aware at all that this was a big conspiracy to destroy Kurdish Villages in the region. ;o) Thanks again and best regards,

Murat Kutlug. murat@kutlug.com - 17:05, 22 August 2005


 * Well, I worked at the dam project, I am also unaware of such a conspiracy. Apperantly the conspiracy theory originated from the UK. Cat chi? 16:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Christianity
Wow one hell of an archive, you do realise thats over 2.5 megs rite?! :) Cat chi? 16:37, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the page was over 341 KB, and I kept getting into edit conflicts while trying to archive stuff, so I figure we can just split the archive into separate ones instead of trying to edit from the talk page which is constantly changing. Sound fine? --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 16:41, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no objections it just 2.5 megs is crazy! :) Cat chi? 16:43, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * There, I trimmed them down some. I think they are now 97KB, 83KB, and 76KB, or something close like that.  Hopefully you aren't asking for more division. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark)  16:56, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I wasn't asking for anything, just commented on a long overdue archive... O_O;; Cat chi? 16:59, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

So I was going through the George W. Bush archives and found something you might find interesting. Check out the length of Talk:George W. Bush/Archive 17. Now that is a long overdue archive. Cheers. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 14:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC) Oh, and Talk:George W. Bush/Archive 18 used to be a part of it but was split into a new archive. Understandable. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 15:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiDefcon
Well, it looks better than my shameless ripoff of the Wikistress thermometer :) User:Luigi30 (Ταλκ) 02:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Re: Code
Thanks for that script code. I'll try it out at some point. Much appreciated. Rob Church Talk 22:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

What do you mean?
The sock puppet string was back in June. Oh, they took care of it, quite well. I'm done, as they threatened me with a year-long ban. They are VERY aware of what I have done. I caused them to rethink their policies on vandalism. What is your concern with it, by the way? Adamwankenobi 02:18, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * If you are bragging about sockpuppetary you are less then aware of anything or choose to ignore it. I dont threaten people, I just do it. Cat chi? 02:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Specify. Adamwankenobi 02:23, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

template:vandal1
Hi, I'm just letting you know that I'm nominating this template for deletion, because I feel it to be redundant with tests 1-3, can be considered "biting the newbies", and causes confusion when someone clicks the section edit link. Feel free to weigh in on the TFD. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) 04:31, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I see. Fine, how ever dont mark it for deletation istead redirect to Template:test1? Cat chi? 15:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
