User talk:Atlan/Archive10

thanks for patience
Hi Atlan Thanks for your patience. I've had another go but something weird is happening. When I click on this, and click on history the latest I get is something from November, not December, and can't see compare whether the version I edited is in existence or OK. Kevin McCready (talk) 05:51, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. That history is correct. Your case is added to the subpage "Arbitration/Requests/Case", and then transcluded to "Arbitration/Requests". So your request won't show up in the history of the requests page. Arbitration is set up weird that way.--Atlan (talk) 11:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you SO much!
I'm really burning the midnight oil on my side of the planet and I may have opened a can of worms regarding MascotGuy. Thank you so very much for your due diligence on this. I was trying to remember the earlier accounts where he used both his e-mail address and that of his mother for naming sockpuppets. He's done so many socks that it was almost impossible to remember one so simple as the one you found. His mom sounds like a wonderful, hard-working woman and she's expressed an interest in helping out. Again, thanks for the help. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 09:24, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem. I think people are sometimes quick to cry OUTING and forget the actual point of the discussion. Good luck in your endeavors to stop MG's long term abuse. Simply playing whack-a-mole with his socks obviously doesn't really help. Have a good night.--Atlan (talk) 10:02, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much and the same to you. I would never have disclosed information that wasn't already accessible and I feel bad enough as it is.  Happy new year!


 * I think most of the (quite warranted) concerns were about the addition of MG's personal information to his LTA page. That wasn't you. I think we can all agree that you are not guilty of outing in your attempt to handle the situation. I'll be away until January 1st, so have a good New Year's Eve.--Atlan (talk) 13:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Kent School
Now that this edit has been sourced would you object to an univolved editor (i.e. me) adding it? I think it's relevant to the article as it's a relatively remarkable reason to be mentioned in a newspaper and the section is about the school in the media. Thanks,  raseaC talk to me 12:06, 4 February 2010 (UTC)


 * As I explained earlier, it's not so much about the school, as it is about its headmaster, Seth McFarlane and his parents. The headmaster acted on his own accord, not because of some school policy. To place this information in the notable allumni section of Kent School is to give it undue weight and going off on a tangent. If you have a compelling reason to have this information on both Kent School and Seth McFarlane, then by all means do, but I'm not seeing it at the moment.--Atlan (talk) 12:45, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Images
Okay, thanks. I read MOS:IMAGES which I had never read before. It does say something about right/left, and also about faces aimed toward text (which I've been doing). I do see your point about the TOC. As a former designer, I'm always looking for the best solution. Pepso2 (talk) 21:40, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Maltese nobility
Thanks for the support at AN/I ... but that being said, I dropped a line on Bali suggesting that we lay off further edits pending admin action, which is only proper with an edit war up. I'm fairly confident that given Pietru/Notpietru's long history of blocks and incivility he'll draw a block here, at which point we can sort out what's to be done with the article and how.  RGTraynor  12:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I should have waited with my revert until Notpietru was blocked. I thought of that after the fact. Oh well, no harm done in the end.--Atlan (talk) 12:53, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope. Judging from the way he's kicking and screaming about the block - he's asked to review it TWICE already - he's really risking a much longer one.  His choice, I guess.  Anyway, have a serene one!   RGTraynor  13:16, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out to me. It's rare to find a vandal that continues to pop up over such a long time span. Re-blocked for 12 months. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2010-02-24 18:28Z

Business
Please mind your own comments. THANK YOU Tj1224 (talk) 14:21, 10 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Whatever, don't say I didn't warn you.--Atlan (talk) 15:42, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Don't say I didn't warn you about what? Tj1224 (talk) 14:21, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I was quite clear on your talk page. I'm pretty sure you've read my warnings, as it wouldn't make sense for you to come over here to ask me to mind my own business if you haven't. If you've been afflicted with a sudden case of forgetfulness, I suggest you read my warnings again. They're still in the talk page history--Atlan (talk) 14:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Why would I need to be warned if the whole point of what I did was to get info? If I was using this as a social network it would be pointless and I would have a myspace. Would I or would I not? Who are you to give me warnings anyway? I would adise you to further explain yourself.Tj1224 (talk) 18:04, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Anyone can give you warnings. You are not using article talk pages in the appropriate manner, read WP:TALKNO. Since your inappropriate use of talk pages is not offset by any article contributions (you still have zero), you may be quickly blocked for it. Like I said, if all you want to do is ask random questions, do it elsewhere.--Atlan (talk) 18:38, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Bussiness
Like I siad mind your own business. Also read it yourself it says don't claim to have authorized access when you don't. If i wanted to socialize i would have a myspace, so long story short don't say anything unless it is an appology or a useful comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tj1224 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 11 March 2010 (UTC) Tj1224 (talk) 21:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

advice
Why don't you read it your self DON'T CLAIM TO HAVE AUTHORIZED ACCESS IF YOU DON'T. Long story short don't say anything to me unless it is an APPOLOGY or something USEFUL. Tj1224 (talk) 21:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

TAlk
if you are going to talk to me leave it on my talk pageTj1224 (talk) 21:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Uh, yeah. Whatever. Your posts are quickly degrading into silly ramblings, so I'd appreciate it if you would stop badgering me about this. It's getting rather disruptive. Just follow the talk page guidelines or take your business elsewhere.--Atlan (talk) 22:10, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
