News Ltd Style Guide
Hi Sarahe, re: your comment here, I was just wondering if you actually have a copy of the New Ltd Style Guide? I couldn't find one online... it does seem like a useful thing to have around.

BTW, if you haven't checked out WikiProject Melbourne (or Sydney, or Perth, or...) then I am sure you will find that an interesting resource, too. :)

Exicornt
Thanks for un-redirecting the page after I reopened the AfD. (Not to mention speaking up as a voice of reason in the AfD discussion.) Best, FreplySpang (talk) 22:59, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * You did yourself proud by calling Eddie and company's bluff and emailing the author of their so-called claim. I'll bet they weren't expecting that! Congrats from hydnjo talk 00:25, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys! :) I was just happy that Pete replied so quickly. When I emailed him I wasn't even sure if he would reply. Sarah Ewart 00:37, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


 * We know. That was what was so adroit about it. You called their bluff when they were least suspecting. Good going! hydnjo talk 01:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism
Thank you for reverting vandalism to my user page. --Viriditas 11:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Message from EddieSegoura
if you keep creating hoax articles about made-up words and trolling with sockpuppets, then you will continue bumping into us. I'm not a troll that's here to spy on other users. I'm not here to ruin and vandalise people's hard work. I don't want to talk about "sockpuppets" anymore, I'm sick and tired of hearing about it. If You have someone better to say, fine. How about putting this all behind us and moving on with our wiki lives, okay? -- EddieSegoura 12:54, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think you do want to ruin other people's hard work. And you don't have to talk about sockpuppets. You said you don't want to talk to me anymore, and I'm just telling you that if you continue to create hoax articles (ie exicornt) and using sockpuppets (Lets Go Yankees, BestBuy25, etc) then you will no doubt continue bumping into us. I am willing to put all this behind us if you cease using sockpuppets to rig voting and cease creating hoax articles. If you agree to that, then I will agree to starting over with a clean slate. Sarah Ewart 13:03, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * If You're willing to put "AfD" behind us, then yes. We can talk.  I do have a question.  Is it true You're only allowed one account on Wikipedia?  From what You're telling Me, extra accounts aren't allowed.  Is that true?  -- EddieSegoura 8:33 AM, November 28, 2005 (EST)
 * If you have a look at this page: WP:SOCK, you'll see that it is against the rules to use multiple accounts for the purpose of voting, deception or circumventing policy. The accounts can be permanently blocked if you use them to cast double votes. If you look further down that page, you'll see some instances where multiple accounts may, in very rare cases, have a legitimate use. However, it is extremely limited and is generally frowned on by the community. It's the sort of thing people will use against you if you decided you want to try at RfA again. As far as voting goes, it is certainly against policy to use multiple accounts to vote. Sarah Ewart 13:41, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Exicornt
The Exicornt page has been deleted, as far as I know. Haven't we agreed to keep Crossover (rail)? -- Eddie 13:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've archived My old "Exicornt" page, if that's okay with You. -- Eddie 22:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with you archiving the page in your userspace. But if you are planning to repost, you'll have to find genuine sources to support it. Sarah Ewart 23:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Viriditas & Sarah Ewart

 * Please stop reverting this page. --Viriditas 04:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Please don't talk to Me again. Lately, all of Your talk to Me had been about "sockpuppets" and other silly stuff and it's making My wiki life miserable. Unless You have something good to say, I don't want to talk to You. -- EddieSegoura 04:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not "making" you violate Wikipedia policies, Eddie. Please don't blame me for your own misbehavior. As for the sock puppet accounts that you are using, they are not allowed to be used on AfD and they are not allowed to be used in revert wars. You were informed of this multiple times but you continued to do it and to this day you continue to do it. You have made your own wiki life miserable, Eddie, not me. Take responsibility for your own actions. Currently you are simultaneously editing as EddieSegoura and Lets Go Yankees. I suggest you choose an account and stick with it. Until that time, I will continue to categorize your multiple accounts as suspected sock puppets because they are being used to violate Wikipedia policy. Viriditas 04:31, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * If You're going to continue looking at Me as a "sockpuppet" then I have no reason to talk to You anymore. I also stated I will stop posting in that AfD discussion (thanks to You). I've suffered enough negetivity from You and I don't need You to make things worse for Me. EddieSegoura 04:35, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Eddie, I honestly don't think you are a bad person. You have a great sense of humor and you obviously have many interests. But, I feel that you are abusing Wikipedia, especially the nice people who offer you good will, trust, and the benefit of the doubt. Look at all the people who posted on the AfD, just to find out that you were wasting our time. You said you were going to post a reference, but you used your sock puppet account to do it (User:BestBuy25) because you knew that if someone checked up on the source, they would discover that you made it up. That was very sneaky, Eddie. I think you are using your sock puppets to avoid taking responsibility for your actions, so that when one gets "blamed", all you have to do is stop using that account and move on to the next one. Essentially, you are having sock puppets do your dirty work for you. Well, it won't work, Eddie, and it only makes you look like a mean person who enjoys violating the trust that other Wikipedians have given you. Is that how you want people to think of you, Eddie? --Viriditas 04:52, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm not a mean person, just upset that you continue look at me as someone that likes to drive people crazy and make people suffer. If you truly feel that way, I have no reason to speak to you.
 * But it seems to Me that You're making Me suffer by "sockpuppeting" Me. It seems like that's the only subject you can bring up when you write to Me. I also said I'd put the AfD page behind me and move on. (That "AfD" page should have been closed already.)
 * Look, I don't even need to talk to you to read and edit pages, anyway. EddieSegoura 06:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Eddie, I agree with everything Viriditas has said and I think you should go away and think about it carefully.Sarah Ewart 05:09, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I'll just use Wikipedia without talking to You. I'm not here to vandilise pages and ruin people's hard work. I'm here to give give useful edits to page on subjects I know, especially the Subway I ride every day. -- EddieSegoura 06:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * That's fine, Eddie. I don't mind at all if you don't speak to me. I have tried to be nice to you and even came here to try to help you. However, if you keep creating hoax articles about made-up words and trolling with sockpuppets, then you will continue bumping into us. Sarah Ewart 12:46, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, Eddie, for your own personal security, it might not be a good idea to have personal information, such as your place of employment etc on your user page. Sarah Ewart 12:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think you do want to ruin other people's hard work. You said you don't want to talk to me anymore, and I'm just telling you that if you continue to create hoax articles (ie exicornt) and using sockpuppets (Lets Go Yankees, BestBuy25, etc) then you will no doubt continue bumping into us. I am willing to put all this behind us if you are willing to cease using sockpuppets to rig voting and cease creating hoax articles. If you agree to that, then I will agree to starting over with a clean slate. Sarah Ewart 13:03, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Eddie, in answer to your questions, if you have a look at this page: WP:SOCK, you'll see that it is against the rules to use multiple accounts for the purpose of voting, deception or circumventing policy. The accounts can be permanently blocked if you use them to cast double votes. It's also the sort of thing people will use against you if you decided you want to try at RfA again. As far as voting goes, it is certainly against policy to use multiple accounts to vote. Also, the section on circumventing policy includes using puppets and anonymous IPs to engage in edit and revert wars, and to attempt to evade 3RR and account blocks. If you were to do things like that, you could be blocked and other users may choose to take formal action against you. I hope that answers your questions. If you are willing to follow the Wiki policies and rules, I will consider us to now have a clean slate. I cerainly don't hold any hard feelings against you and I hope that we are all able to move beyond this and contribute useful and legitimate content to Wiki.

Message from Mr. Transit
I reverted your edit. Please don't put junk on my page or I will have to clean it. It's very annoying. MrTransit 23:42, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * There is an agreement to leave all sockpuppet tags in place until such time as an admin decides the status of the account. In any case, I have no intention to get into an edit war with you (but thanks for the offer). Sarah Ewart 23:52, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Check out a new page I added: Rainbow Shops. I hope this doesn't get disputed like My last one. -- EddieSegoura 8:35 AM, November 28, 2005 (EST)
 * Okay, I'm just about to go offline, but I'll read it when I get back. Sarah Ewart 13:41, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
