"you're coming across as a major jerk"[edit]

Am I? To whom? In how many places? I will not temper my attitude in situations where that attitude is required. In that instance, it was, and I exercised my right to use it. doktorb wordsdeeds 03:39, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is total bullshit. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:16, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You've not answered my direct questions. So you've made accusations without evidence, flouting Wikipedia rules on civility. Can you please familiarise yourself with the important rules on this matter so as not to come across as quite so presumptive and rude? I'm sure you realise the importance of not shouting off accusations without proof. If you need any help in how to use Wikipedia I'm sure you know your way around the Village Pumps and noticeboards. doktorb wordsdeeds 19:42, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This edit of yours (and its context) are plenty of evidence in my book. Completely uncalled for. You've got some nerve to follow this up after making such a fool of yourself. 219.79.90.26 (talk) 23:08, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't make accusations without evidence; I made a single observation, based on a comment you made (which is in and of itself the evidence). If you don't like it, tough shit; I've got better things to do with my time than to hold your hand and explain the basic tenants of the project.
You were being an ass and I called you out on it; if you want to be upset about it and try to accuse me of not being familiar with the rules, knock yourself out. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:26, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Uizaretardo[edit]

Hi there EVula! I noticed that you welcomed Uizaretardo. It seems to me that the name is a clear insult, but you welcomed them, so is there something I'm missing or is it okay to go ahead and block the account? Thanks, ceranthor 02:51, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, block away; I was trying to assume good faith with their first edit (why do I even bother?), and hadn't sounded out the username, so I didn't pick up on that. EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:15, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Crat statement draft[edit]

Hi EVula


Following the drama at BN, I'm trying to come up with a statement all Crats could agree to. Please take a look, below.


I am quite content to do this onwiki -we have always worked transparently, except where secrecy is essential (ie RTV). I think we should be able to wordsmith a statement acceptable to all, and I think it's an important thing to do.

  1. In my opinion, this issue has come about through an unfortunate proliferation of documentation: policy, guideline, how-to etc
  2. I am not convinced that there is community consensus on all of the points encapsulated in those various pages
  3. I am unhappy at what may be described as some or all of: inconsistencies, inaccuracies or lack of clarity in that documentation
  4. I do not believe that any of the issues we have faced have been caused by Crats trying to widen their powers
  5. I would like to see the issues clarified, based on consensus, and for the documentation to be updated accordingly
  6. I'd like to thank Griot-de for generously withdrawing the rename request

Signed

Lmk what you think. Many thanks, --Dweller (talk) 13:29, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I seriously need to reread all the stuff on BN before I properly respond to this, and I just don't have the time right now. (I just got back from load-in for a show, about to pop in the shower, need to eat, and then get ready for a different show tonight) EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:49, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiquote name change[edit]

Hello EVula, thank you for your help with the change. If you wouldn't mind changing my Wikiquote account as you offered that would be great as well. Best regards, Lenny_Kaufman talk 18:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy notice[edit]

I have made the very serious accusation against you of being part of a cabal. See Wikipedia:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard#Resysop_request. Bring a cheesy grin. --Dweller (talk) 15:21, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, part of me really wants to be the one to promote her, just to see if it gets pissy people riled up over nothing... EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:44, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Darkhorse Theater[edit]

I'm awfully glad to see that you corrected my errors in Darkhorse Theater. I've never been there and know almost nothing about it (although I did meet Shannon Wood when she was running for Senate), so it appears that I'm prone to make stupid mistakes. I semi-adopted it as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GroundWorks Theatre, but I haven't done much with it. It and other articles about Nashville theater topics are in need of attention from folks with firsthand knowledge. Meanwhile, I hope you're enjoying your involvement there! --Orlady (talk) 14:19, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you make it out to the show that goes up in March (Sarah Ruhl's In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)), I can comp you in. ;)
If it makes you feel better, you haven't made that many errors, especially considering how few sources there are that can be used. People's Branch doesn't exist anymore, though they did use the space for a while (but towards the end of their run, they performed exclusively at the Belcourt), and the Nashville Shakespeare Festival hasn't performed there in a while (2006 I believe was the last time they were there), despite still being listed on the website as a member company. But again, no sources for that, just my knowledge of the space. I'll try not to make too many edits to the article (COI and all that; I've got my own set of keys to the theatre, plus I'm currently the head of ACT 1), but I can give it some improvements here and there. EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:47, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I won't be in Nashville for a play any time soon, but I sure appreciate the offer! It was a challenge to find sources for this article, so if you know of some good online resources, it would be great if you could list them on the article talk page for use by someone who doesn't share your COI situation. :-) --Orlady (talk) 16:04, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
