Albigensian Crusade
Having discussed the withdrawal of GA with LuciferMorgan, I give notice that I am sitting down with the three classic original source texts (Puylaurens, Vaux-de-Cernay and de Tudèle - the last in the Livre de Poche edition as the Martin-Chabot is long out of print) to add the missing inline citations to this page. I do not intend at this point to make any textual alterations, but if comments are made which are NOT justified, be prepared to state your sources now. Jel 17:04, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

You edited the page, therefore have an interest - I'm letting you know out of courtesy. Nobody's done a decent job on the citations, so I'm allowing anyone with an axe to grind to tell me to desist BEFORE I waste an evening doing what should have been done long since.Jel 17:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

The GA gestapo put a warning up months back which has been ignored, that's enough warning for me, and I don't have time to waste on doing it that way. As a matter of professional standards I must confess they're partially right, even tho' the citations will be to the sources listed, there's not much else. Why Gestapo? I contrast with the Today's Feature on Shakespeare a couple of days back, which didn't list a single contemporary source, even tho' there's quite a lot available, resulting in commentaries on commentaries - at least the Crusade page listed exhaustively the classic sources. Anyway, this page has evidently been orphaned and dumped on because nobody's looking after it, it's an area which is a turning point for two nations' histories, and could become riddled with New Age folly. Time to do a decent job. Anyway, if you're not interested, fine by me, have a great weekend...fine to delete this conversation btwJel 17:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I apologize
Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Wikipedia under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.

I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.

Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:


 * Adam Bishop, Amarkov, Antandrus, AntiVandalBot, Bdj (Badlydrawnjeff), Conk 9, CanbekEsen, DLand, Downwards, Eagle 101, Ericbronder, Gogo Dodo, High on a tree, Hut 8.5, Interiot, Jayjg, Jrwallac, Kingboyk, Kuru, Noclip, Patrick Berry, PFHLai, PhantomS, Pollinator, Rachack, Ranma9617, Rx StrangeLove, SlimVirgin, Tfrogner, TommyBoy, Vary, Woohookitty, Zzuuzz, and some anonymous IPs. (I also reverted one edit myself after it went unnoticed for three weeks.)

Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.

If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.

Best regards, Shalom (Hello • Peace) 19:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, Congratulations on becoming an administrator. Obviously, it is unlikely that you will know how to use the tools at first and mistakes are bound to happen, so if you would like to practice using them, with step by step guides to follow, in an environement that you can do no harm in, then why not pop down to the new admin school where we have pages on blocking, deleting and restoring pages, protecting and unprotecting pages and viewing deleted pages. Once again, congratulations and best of luck with the tools.  Ry an P os tl et hw ai te  20:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Hinayanan article sandbox
You deleted Hinayana/Article Sandbox yesterday, according to its |deletion log. I do not agree with the explanation that this is a "non-controversial housekeeping deletion". Please restore it.

If you insist and can justify your insistence, I will then move it to a personal page and request deletion myself. However, I really don't know why anyone has a problem with it remaining where it was until we reach editing consensus on what is, after all, an extremely controversial topic. The article, I mean. As for whether article sandboxes are permitted in the main namespace, I understand that some people, apparently including you, don't like them. I have yet to see a genuine reason for this, however. Meanwhile, you have managed to erase quite a bit of work on a difficult topic, for reasons that are far from clear.

he is a drug addict!" Bewareofdog 00:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Derzhavina page you deleted
Since I was a co-author of the text you called a "blatant copyright violation" your deletion was a bit strange.

Nevertheless given the bureacratic limits you seemed to apply, I will rewrite the page but it's hard not to use the same text I wrote in the first place!!!

You will perhaps notice that the concerts mentioned in the original Yale text have already taken place, therefore the content was edited accordingly.

But I will submit new text. Careful though, you may find similar sentences in there which may cause further bureaucratic actions on your part!

For me to poop on
As I've just mentioned to the person who tagged this, it is not even slightly an "implausible typo". It is a quote, which happens to contain a naughty word (oh noes!), that is discussed in the article. I'd appreciate you reversing the speedy deletion, though of course you should take the time to confirm what I've said first. — Gavia immer (talk) 20:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

RE: Your false warning on my talk page
Many people make the same comments in deletion discussions. It is very common. It is also common for Wikipedians to label the actions of those they disagree with as "disruptive." Personally, I think your deletion nominations are disruptive.--Neverpitch 19:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Patrick A. Reid
Good morning! I thought I'd bring the above article deletion discussion which you recently closed to your attention. The article you endorsed as a KEEP was a reproduction under a different of name of an twice nominated and twice previously deleted article, the second occasion included a deletion review which was also thrown out. The previous article was entitled Patrick Alexander (Cartoonist) and it appears the new article has been created stealthily by the parties unhappy at seeing the article deleted previously I'd suggest an overturing, or at the very a least a re-listing of the article in AfD under the previous name. Thanks for your time. Hen Features 04:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * EDIT: Having checked the creation date of Patrick A. Reid, it falls squarely on the same date the Patrick Alexander article was endorsed for deletion. It appears pretty clear what those upset at the deletion were up to! Given that the entire premise of the KEEP arguments hinged on the subject being notable, the fact the name of the subject is apparently so unimportant that it can be swapped and changed around at will appears to undermine the whole argument. Hen Features 04:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know I lifted the block placed on that user. Based on his past contributions he appears to be a good faith editor. His claims of a school mate using his account when he forgot to log out seems very plausible to me. He thought his account may have been hacked but he claims to have changed his password and appears to have control over it once more. Please let me know if you have any issue with my unblock of this user. Happy editing. Knowledge Of Self |  talk  18:52, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Open Education Declaration
OK. I got my head around the CC copyright violation. You will be aware of this report about Jimmy aligning copyrights. You'll also notice that he is one of the signatories on the declaration, so he's going to be a bit embarrassed as I've been pointing other signatories at it, and saying we might as well do the drafting here. --Simonfj (talk) 20:58, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm trying to keep a thread on the input here to the reply over here []

Your reply was, Yes, I know Wikipedia is soon going to be migrating to a Creative Commons license, but until that happens the text can't be included in Wikipedia. Even if that wasn't the case, the text would have been deleted through some other mechanism since it wasn't any kind of encyclopedia article and Wikipedia is not the place for any kind of campaigning, as I'm sure Jimmy Wales will know. Hut 8.5 21:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

And I'm trying to confirm:

Thanks Hut,

Let me get this right. Even if, in the meantime, I get the guys at [2] to put a link to the GNU Free Documentation License, the founder of Wikipedia doesn't have the right to put a document (article) he has signed, whose core aim it is to further the Foundation's aims, on the site he set up?--Simonfj (talk) 21:33, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

If they license the text under the GFDL then it will not be deleted straight away as a copyright violation. However, Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia, and including text campaigning for anything is a violation of WP:SOAP, and this would likely result in the page being deleted in an articles for deletion discussion. Note that Wikipedia's policy of neutrality was strongly championed by Jimmy Wales, and I seriously doubt he is going to break it. There are other websites the Wikimedia Foundation can use to express support for the petition other than Wikipedia. Hut 8.5 21:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again Hut, Just keeping the thread together. I'm using our exchange as an illustration of how conversations can't be followed (by newbies) due to the separation of 'inputs' and 'outputs'. If I'm missing something about how they're kept together here would you let me know. I'm taking it that OEDeclaration can be undeleted (somewhere) as and when this gets to the Trustees.

Just made an entry to the NPOV page [] Please don't feel I'm in any way having a go at you. But if Jimmy can't campaign for something around here, then this NPOV policy is obviously blocking a lot of other people from reintepreting their old fashioned ideas about how 'policy' is meant to be implemented.--Simonfj (talk) 22:47, 8 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you actually have anything from Jimmy Wales asking you to post the text on Wikipedia, or are you assuming because he's signed it that he wants it on Wikipedia? Hut 8.5 10:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

No, if I had've I would hve put it as a reference on the article. Even so, even kings have to obey the laws that stand. I'm assuming that Jimmy, as one of the signatories, will be thinking along the same lines as others who attended [4]. who point out that these kind of docs, unless they are hosted on a global library, where they can be edited, never become living docs. They never become encyclopedic because they aren't seen to be shared nicely. [5]

I could have referred to a Budapest Declaration, which this one is based upon (as Philipp says), and made the article about DeclarationS. But I'm using this as an example of why, because there is nowhere a New article writer can put a doc up (in an open space) and gather a constituency, newbies are presented with a deletion notice which, if they are not thick skinned (like me), will frighten them off. It's either that or a conversation is split between two users discussion pages, like wot we're suffering, and no one can read how NOT to be made to be seen as stupid.

The problem is that we are now at the stage in Wikipedia's development where we are beginning to synethesize similar docs. Remote groups are wanting to read off the same page rether than duplicating "me too" articles. So we need to improve the communications process, and use more relevant comms tools.

It's a bit much to expect, when you're patrolling 6, that you haven't a way to better orientate a newbie, especially after you see the need to shoot their firstborn. So let's see if this conversation, like the proposal I've just sent to Sue Gardner, doesn't act as a catalyst for improving the way we share our knowledge. Merry Xmas. --Simonfj (talk) 20:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)--

You deleted a page I started on Dr. Steven Libutti, I think for a copyright violation (G12 was in the deletion log). The data for this entry was obtained from a US Government website and as such is in the public domain and cannot be copyrighted.
