Charter Convention

Would you consider a Charter Convention? — Xiong熊talk 15:19, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)

Link to material? I'll consider just about anything, provided it's readable and I've got the time (and I've seen your prose, so I'm not worried there).

Without having seen anything, though, color me skeptical. The wiki tends not to take constitutions, charters, legislative bodies, politicians and other trappings of formalized power well; things spring up as they appear to be needed. There is one rule I hold dear to my heart, ignore all rules, which does not mean what most people think it means. But as I said, throw me a bone and I'll chew on it. JRM 15:38, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)

Citation Template

Thanks for pointing out the current discussion. I was aware of a standardized but plain source note. After locating a good 100 undocumented citations of wikipedia in law review pages I felt it would be a good opportunity to launch my own more noticeable template. I may be giving myself more credit than I am deserving my but I see my template as different and justifiable. My temp is not intended to be informative (exact citation, link to sources page) - that's secondary, I congratulate contributers for their good work and convince visitors that Wikipedia is gaining prominence. Rather than standardize the material, I hope other Wikipedians see the larger promotional and honorary role unique to a source template. I'll stop and join the discussion though. Lotsofissues 15:05, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Followup

It appears the templates have been selected however the press citation template does not fit my purpose of documenting law review cites. I hope there are no objections, but I wish to continue to use my template for this sole purpose. Lotsofissues 23:14, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Insanity article

Heyo -- thanks a bunch for the work you did on Insanity just now. I sort of waffled back and forth between a cleanup and an NPOV; the article as it stood seemed to reek of adolescent rebellion. Your edits have made a much cleaner article. -- — I. Neschek | talk 15:11, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

VfD

Yes, you are right, I picked on a too general word "thing", which is open to many interpretations. My reading of the word "thing" was "object from real 'world' " as opposed to "article about the object". And my point is that one should distinguish invalid topics and invalid articles, with both issues being valid subjects for vfd. Extreme examples from real wikilife (with the whole spectrum, including merging the concepts altogether, exists): Sean Piniero is an invalid topic, while the article Nick (DNA) with the content "fuck you, moron" is an invalid article. Mikkalai 19:17, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, it was vote, not debate. And since I closed it, it could not influence anybody, so I don't see any harm at all. It was directed to you, rather than to sway someone's future vote. Anyway, next time in such cases I will talk to users' talk pages instead. Mikkalai 21:01, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pandeism

Please see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Pandeism and add your vote. --brian0918™ 21:04, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Please consider changing your vote on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Pandeism to a "redirect" to pantheism. I believe I have adduced sufficient referential evidence to show that this article was not "original research," but simply a non-notably uncommon use of a term that is most commonly used as a reference to a word of similar construction. It's very easy for those not acquainted with religous details to confuse "theism" with "deism" (and in fact, most of the non-wiki-mirror references on the web do use pandeism to mean pantheism) so this would be a useful redirect. I apologize for having overestimated the importance of the use of this term with which I had been made familiar. It was one of my first posts, when I was new to Wikipedia and not yet familiar with the criteria for notability. -- 8^D BD2412^gab 06:32, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)

• Forget the above. I have found conclusive evidence of the use of the term "Pandeism" dating back to 1833 [1], being used by Godfrey Higgins, a follower of John Toland, the creator of pantheism.[2]. The term is used in a book written by Higgins called the Anacalypsis. -- 8^D BD2412^gab 10:23, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)
  • You're looking at the text, not the meaning - the whole thing as written is nonsense, but this Higgins was both a Druid and a phallic-obsessed joker - everything in this has a double meaning. This is a guy who was a follower of Tolands, would have known about both Pantheism and Deism (and don't forget, Toland wrote cryptically about Pantheism for many years out of fear of getting found out), using a term that we know has absolutely nothing to do with any religions ranging from Medea to India... so what does it really mean? Why would a man in Higgins position make up a word like that, and use it as he does? -- 8^D BD2412^gab 10:43, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)
    • Pandeism is completely rewritten. You win. Have a nice day. -- 8^D BD2412^gab 13:37, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)

Love Me, Love My Girlfriend

Sort of, yes. My point was merely that that person has been voting to oppose anyone and everyone who has said a word about the belle dame sans merci. I.e. it's something a bit automatic and really not by anyone's reckoning substantive. Asking for substance in that case is just going to feed the fire. An argument takes two sides, and I think it's enough that the community acts in an appropriate manner in regard to those with monomanias without allowing them to continue to believe that those actions are personal. (I.e. you're in the right, but pointing that out just helps a good editor go bad.) Geogre 02:21, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Oh, hell, I was being so circumloquitous that I confused myself on re-reading that. Ok, at the risk of offending, here it goes. I personally think that Everyking is an excellent editor with a long history of contributing high quality material, but he has an unaccountable monomania about Ashlee. I don't get it. You don't get it. No one gets it. However, it is a subject he cares so passionately about that it has led him to some highly ill-judged actions. Well, the community has, I think, acted appropriately to counter these whimsies. You've been one of those who has opposed his misguided efforts. For whatever reason, Everyking is now voting to Oppose every RfA of every person who has ever said an unkind word about the Ashlee articles. That's reactionary and, again I think, misguided and ill-considered. There's nothing substantive in these Oppose votes -- no rationale, no reason -- and I don't think anyone is swayed by them. My fear is that, for Everyking, something that should be objective has become personal, and the worst thing we can do is allow him to move the ground of the debate onto personal animus. I hate the idea of a valuable worker like him losing himself, and our losing him, to this passion, and I keep hoping that if we refuse to play the game of personal invective and defense we can sway him back to the true path. There. Now I've said it, and Everyking can be mad at me, too, if he wants. (I suppose he already was, as I'm a "deletionist.") Geogre 02:42, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm continuing this discussion here because it's more important to keep it together than having us see the latest updates ASAP.

Yes, I did comment on the Ashlee Simpson issue. The first time I did so was on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Autobiography sales and chart positions/Archive1. In which I voted Keep, as unlikely as that may seem! (I didn't outright support Everyking, but agreement with Everyking wasn't what we were voting on—and neither did I oppose him). The second time I did so was on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Autobiography promotion and publicity, and here I voted to merge, and discussed with Everyking on why his position wasn't necessarily right because his edits were more substantive. Search for my name in there, if you will, and judge for yourself if I was harsh. No, correction: see for yourself if what I said in there sounds like a likely cause for someone to start disliking you.

I never hurled insults or invective at EK. I never took the scissors to his articles (I edited Autobiography once; a minor edit, not reverted by anyone, which is rare enough to convince me it had approval). And while my personal opinion is that the detail EK put in was of dubious value to the reader, if only for making it less accessible, and while I personally don't like Ashlee Simpson, these are my personal opinions, and I've never presented them as anything else (when I've presented them at all). Believe it or not, but if you hadn't said it, I would have never considered this issue to be at the root of his mistrust. I still find it hard to believe it is. My comment was not referring to it, in any case.

It took me some time to remember where and when I'd said these things, because while I make sure to remember every instance of behaviour on my part I myself see as potentially troublesome, this certainly wasn't one of those times. Of all the people he could possibly have a beef with over the AS issue, I should think I'm the least of his worries. If he really wants to oppose my adminship on those grounds, then he's going to have to come forth and say it, or formulate another argument why I should not be an administrator. I'm not doing this to taunt Everyking or mock his opposition—on the contrary. If he has a valid argument as to why my behaviour or atttitudes towards him or anyone else disqualify me as an admin, please let him say so, so I can work on it. I honestly want to know. Give me a trial by fire. Don't mince words. I'm presently at a loss divining the exact reason James is saying "no". If it's just personal dislike or distrust, that's fine too, as long as he says it is. Maybe I'm not entitled to such detailed answers, but I can damn sure try and get them. JRM · Talk 07:44, 2005 May 2 (UTC)

Wow. Well, I'm as much at a loss as you are, then. Personally, I think that votes there, like votes on VfD, should not be counted if they have no rationale. I don't know who the beaurocrats are who are considering these counts, but it seems to me that no one should be counted who merely votes without grounds in any deliberation. I understand, of course, the sensitivity of this particular vote and why the stakes are higher, but a bit down the page EK was giving a similar opposition. I haven't followed RfA as well as some folks, but the last time I looked in, he had again voted Oppose over the AS issue. From the diffs, you appear to have handled the AS issue with as much delicacy and consideration as anyone could. Perhaps EK has gone over too far to come back and the various attempts at RfC and arbitration are valid. I'm sorry to even think so. At any rate, I by no means meant to imply indelicacy on your part. I merely thought that leaving a bald "Oppose" from EK spoke for itself. Geogre 12:00, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

"Look, Dmitri, I can be just as sorry as you are..." I didn't take your comments as implying that at all; I just wanted to know what "grudge" you could have been referring to. I'm going to sound very silly for this, but I honestly didn't think of the AS issue. :-) JRM · Talk 12:07, 2005 May 2 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip.

I always wondered why that happened - thought it had something to do with an edit conflict. By the way, have a look at my latest contribution - it's the greatest thing since sliced bread! ;-) -- BD2412 ^thimk 17:04, 2005 May 2 (UTC)

Hmm, good luck finding the first mention. It seems the origins of sliced bread itself were cloudy enough to be all but obscured for decades; the phrase, originating not late after the introduction, is probably impossible to trace to its source (or a convincing first use, for that matter). Unlike have one's cake and eat it too. :-) JRM · Talk 17:28, 2005 May 2 (UTC)

My RfA, and yours, and yours

Eggsqueeze me? What's one thing got to do with another? It wasn't because I thought I wouldn't make admin that I opposed getting nominated, y'know. I benefit from the IRC factor too, with my pretty prattle in the channel all day long, so I rather thought I would, as immodest as that may sound. By now, though, I have of course enlarged my horizons and am going all out to topple User:Fvw's record! Helping it along a little—see me sneakily move votes from Oppose to Support? MWAHAHA!
However. I can't say my heart is in these little ruses. The ridiculousness factor of (currently) getting more votes than you does kinda turn the whole thing into a joke. :-/ Bishonen | talk 17:54, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

But getting more votes than me is nothing at all, eh? It's ok. I know where I stand. Last year's model and all that. Oh, look, here's someone to endorse me. Geogre 02:11, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Geogre, to me you're every year's model, up to and including spacecraft! But as for getting more votes than you did back when, no, that actually ain't much. What exactly do you expect to happen when a person hangs around for ten months, scribbling more and more interferingness all over the shop, and spends the entire last month shitwitting on IRC and changing the topic to PENIS at least twice a day? If YOU had done those things (mutatis mutandis, since you think and type a lot faster and a lot less tastelessly on IRC than I do)--if you hadn't (sensibly) stood for admin as soon as you were ready for it--you would obviously have gotten more votes than any of us.

Portal:Cricket

Thank you for your comment on my talk page. I still think the Cricket (portal) VfD does not belong there. It started off badly with lots of knee-jerk reactions and no-one asking why the page was created in the first place - a point which is quite important to any discussion about the page. The first VfD has also achieved its original objective as Cricket (portal) is now a red link. On the other hand, the Portal:Cricket VfD has plenty of constructive comments - and generally the page is welcomed. Although there is some disquiet as to its location, it is looking that there will be a consensus to keep it where it is for now, although many would like to see new readerspaces for Portals such as this and for Lists. Indeed, I myself would not oppose such a development (and would probably see the page still being called Portal:Cricket, albeit in a proper Portalspace). It has some days to go yet, but that would seem a sensible conclusion and a positive, pro-Wikipedia way forward. Kind regards, jguk 19:22, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

re: No consensus for deletion

I like what you said about "Consensus for deletion" on the Pandeism vfd. If you think THAT was as clear a "keep due to no-consensus" vote as they come, then you haven't seen List of incidents famously considered great blunders. (Wait, you have seen the page already... but didn't vote on the vfd.... interesting... no strong opinion?)

I also like your philosophy as stated on your user page. I might "borrow" some of it. :-)

Those with no sense of humor can bite my shiny metal ass. And there is a very significant difference between flops and blunders, as explained on the vfd page and the talk page. I think my main mistake was expecting a higher level of maturity, open-mindedness, and understanding on Wikipedia then exists.

If Wikipedia doesn't grow up, it will eventually be destroyed, or beaten at it's own game.

See: Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#BILL GATES IS COMING TO EAT YOU ...Oh, you've already seen that, too! You really are quite observant. Impressive.

"These days days everything you create that smacks of dubiousness is tagged for VfD, because there are many more eyeballs around, and people have less time to give every entry its due."

That's a contradiction! More eyeballs should mean better analysis, not worse. The fact that they don't means that the system is screwed up. Eric S. Raymond (author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar) would NOT be happy with the current state of things on Wikipedia.

"Wikipedia has become more curt and businesslike as it has grown, for good or for bad."

I can see it becoming more "curt"... it may even have become for "businesslike"... but it has not yet become professional, and that's the key. Wikipedia has grown and evolved considerably, but it is still in a transitory state.... I think it's current state of evolution is analogous to the middle ages of human history. See Wikipedia talk:Revotes on Vfd. (If you haven't already seen that one, too.)

Sysop

Congratulations! You are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the administrators' how-to guide helpful. Good luck. Angela. 00:05, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations JRM!
