User talk:Vanished User jdksfajlasd/Archives/2009/2009/May

Thank you
A pleasant surprise to read my user talk history and notice your reversions. Much obliged. :) Durova Charge! 16:37, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Heads up
Hey, when you comment on an RfA (like you did in this one), make sure to use #: instead of # to make sure that your comment doesn't get counted as a double vote in templates such as User:X!/RfX Report. :)  hmwith τ   16:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Examples
I almost missed your request for examples in the flurry of posts over there. The most recent one I've seen was at Black people. I don't think I handled the situation as elegantly as I would like to. However, I think the example still illustrates the main point.

There was someone posting to Talk:Black people about "bell curve"-this, and "dumb n***er"-that, and so on, and so on. I replied to the poster by asking whether they had any constructive suggestions, or were they just there to get a reaction. The user responded with a semi-coherent suggestion, which I proceeded to address, quite dryly and boringly.

Another editor or two attacked me for talking to "the troll", rather than fighting with him, as they had been doing. They had been reverting his comments without discussion, thus making it easy for him to cry "censorship". I didn't censor him. I listened to his idea, put it into a context, and made it look like it was - pathetic racism. After 3 lines of dialogue, he was gone. Another editor there assured me that I had just fed him well, and that he would be back. I'm still waiting. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:42, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Durova
I'm a bit confused. Is there a specific reason you reverted this message twice and left warnings for the user? --Onorem♠Dil 17:14, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Please do not tamper with my talk page and my edits. 87.69.176.81 (talk) 17:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I reversed your edit on your page due to the fact that you were still making unnecessary changes to your page such as the warnings that were giving to you.

as per your other page the user didn't want to get in a argument with you i used my best judgment a chosen to remove the page,the user can be seen thanking me for doing so i dont see any issue here im sorry you feel that way. Staffwaterboy Critique Me Guestbook Hate Comments 00:10, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm still confused. I don't see at all how you're explaining what part of their message for Durova was so blatantly inappropriate that you should revert without explanation and leave generic warnings. I don't care that Durova chose to thank you after the fact. --Onorem♠Dil 03:37, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, what unnecessary changes are you talking about? --Onorem♠Dil 03:38, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok i can see this going down hill and fast lets please try to be wp:civil my first point is why does it matter Durova has choosen not to adreese the ip as you can see in there diffs &.My next point is that the ip was obvsiously doing something it wasnt suppose to be and was blocked.Last why does it matter when your putting your nose were it dosent belong this didn't inolve you in anyway but now it does so that dosent matter.

Take care -- Staffwaterboy Critique Me Guestbook Hate Comments  04:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe I am being civil. Durova chose to reply and blank the message. That doesn't explain why you felt the need to blank the message before you knew how Durova would react to it without an edit summary, and leave generic warning templates. How was the IP supposed to know why you were blanking their message? What part of their leaving a message justified any warning at all? The IP was blocked for striking someone else's comment on AN/I...not really relevant here. I'm done here, but I still think your actions were inappropriate...and please don't tell me where my nose belongs. That's more uncivil than any comment I left for you. --Onorem♠Dil 11:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

You're invited...
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, establish a membership process for the chapter, review the upcoming Wiki-Conference New York 2009 (planned for ~100 people at NYU this summer) and future projects like Wikipedia at the Library, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the March meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list. This has been an automated delivery by BrownBot (talk) 22:25, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

This attempted removal of the Granimal from Wikipedia has been a major discussion with my friend's and I tonight. We feel it's part of a much larger issue. In order to be notable or successful in pro wrestling today you have to be a gymnast. It's all about who can put themselves through the most tables and get hit the hardest in the head by a steel chair. The idiots at the top of the WWE don't know a wristlock from a wrist watch and the Granimal would wipe the mat with their heads. I had the honor of wrestling with Granimal in the independents in CT and he had a little game he played before each show. He'd line up whatever guys were brave (or dumb) enough to take the Granimal challenge. The Granimal challenge was $50 to any guy who could last a minute (60 freakin' seconds) against him without getting submitted. He ran this game at a number of shows and I only know of one guy who won the $50. You need to educate yourself my friend. Granahan is one of the last men alive who has been trained by the last living carnival wrestlers mainly Frankie Cain and Billy Wicks. He's highly respected by Gene Lebell. In case you don't know Gene Lebell's the MFIN' GODFATHER OF GRAPPLING and he lists Granimal's American Combat Association as his top link on his website http://www.genelebell.com/links.html or maybe you're a mark who doesn't want to know who Gene Lebell and Granimal are because reality's a little too hard for you to swallow. Do a little bit of research bro before you start trashing a man that could have you and I for a morning snack before he eats his breakfast and coffee! Respond back in the comments section of the Granimal Deletion article after you've educated yourself a litte more on one of my heros.
