No prob about the Dave Van Ronk pages... thanks. I'm planning on doing some more with them. It's a confusing discography too. He recorded on so very many labels.Airproofing (talk) 19:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Wiki protocol is to have the original releases with original label, then mention or link to a compilation, esp. re-releases. I'm sure that is how it will go with Van Ronk. Take a look at my Chet Atkins discog which is huge. I've got artwork for Van Ronk too to go up. We should be able to put something together. I think his discog deserves a separate page but we're not quite there yet. Soon... Airproofing (talk) 20:54, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mucky Pup entry

No sweat on the Mucky Pup info. I'm actually friends with a few of the Mucky and Dog Eat Dog guys and when I saw how little info was written on them a year or two ago, I felt obligated to do the research and write real entries for them. I also did the majority of writing on the Biohazard, Nastasee and 24-7 Spyz (which I believe you and I had minor some disagreement over recently) pages. Always glad to help though! JohnBWatt (talk) 04:56, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming you live outside of the USA. I mention that because of your question as to why Non-Fiction isn't represented here on Wikipedia AND your following of the bands we've spoken of. While bands like Mucky Pup, Dog Eat Dog and Non-Fiction might still have a decent following in Europe, they're virtually unknown here. They were all part of local scenes here in NJ, and Mucky Pup and Dog Eat Dog even had some very minor recognition on MTV, but nothing noteworthy enough for anybody to really write about here. It's still weird for me to see Dog Eat Dog go to Europe and play festivals with Ozzy, Metallica and Wu-Tang Clan, yet when they return here they'll play a small club and still have trouble filling it. Even a band like 24-7 Spyz had a very limited following here. Their biggest claim to fame here was appearing, anonymously in the background, on a beer advertisement. So yeah, it's just a matter of styles and tastes I guess. What was a passing musical phase here, seemed to really catch on in Europe. I don't even have too much knowledge of Non-Fiction because outside of Dan Nastasi, I was never much a fan of the other music made by the members. What I wrote in the article was from memory and general research on the internet. So yeah, if you think you can actually get enough info on Non-Fiction, go ahead an write the article. The musical family tree of members is pretty large, stemming mostly from Hades. If I can add anything constructive, Ill lend a hand. JohnBWatt (talk) 23:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- OK, I was way off. Had to assume that though since most people I've been in touch with on her, especially concerning those bands, have been from Europe. Speaking of the Spyz, are you aware of the project that P. Fluid, Angelo Moore and Corey Glover have done? It's one song, which I have yet to download, and they claim to have no intention to do any live shows. If you go to P. Fluid's site though it only refers to this project, they're calling AFC. In addition to that, there's a Show Date link. Clicking that give a date of Friday, February 27th 9pm at the Mercury Lounge. I assume they meant the Mercury Lounge in NYC but there's already another show there that night. I Googled Mercury Lounge for other clubs with that name and none of them have the show listed. Just something to keep an eye out for if you're into those bands. JohnBWatt (talk) 15:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Album chronology

Are you telling me that albums can progress from any type of album or have the same type now? I been following the same type recently and had no clue there was such a change. Personally, I'm with the same type of album/release. FireCrystal (talk) 19:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the WP guidelines, it does not suggest that EP and LP should be listed differently (as they are very similar in their concept). It DOES suggest singles and albums should be listed separately. Luminifer (talk) 00:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

Sorry about that revert. I don't remember it, and I think that I must have pressed the "rollback" button by accident while I was checking my watchlist. (Double-check your edit, though, as I think it has a typo or two.) Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a point of order, if you make a change and someone challenges it, the article should be changed back to the way it was, and THEN (if really necessary) ask for it to not be changed until an agreement is reached, rather than restoring the change and trying to freeze it. On that basis, I reverted. However it appears Newyorkbrad may not have been challenging it after all. Anyway, I still like the article without the word "shit" spelled out (especially since you inserted it multiple times), since the song itself is polite enough to not say the word. The song puts the word in your mind without saying it, and I see no reason why the article can't do the same. Just my opinion, but I'll ask Newyorkbrad what he thinks. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 00:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show me where in WP what you are stating here is stated? Also, the wording was rather immature by wikipedia standards: "a certain word" doesn't seem very encyclopedic. Luminifer (talk) 03:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Satori

Do not revert information which does not belong. The album was released worldwide back in the 70s. Moreover personal opinions of columnists do not belong on the wikipedia. Nor do subjective edits from ignorant persons. It is false information, on a website that is suppose to provide correct information. Moreover, please do not edit my talk page again. Thank you, Hitomi 中村ヒトミ (talk) 07:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reply re. Satori

Hi, and first off, I have no intention of being anyone's adversary, so don't worry about that. I think everyone who edits on Wikipedia meets up with unintentional adversaries.

Regarding your current problem, you are certainly in the right to ask for discussion, and the other user is wrong when he says "facts" and not opinions of columnists are what we strive for at Wikipedia. There is no way to decide what the facts are, without reference to published reliable sources. The article

WP:RS

talks about this.

As for the other user's talk page, it is considered acceptable for a user to remove anything he wants from his talk page, and to ask others not to post on his page. Therefore I don't recommend you try to reach him on his page again. It is not acceptable for another user to tell you to refrain from editing an article or its talk page, and other comments he made to you are not acceptable. If he won't discuss his reverts on the article's talk page, you may have to ask for administrator assistance. I am not an admin, so I can't help. But it does look like you tried to go about it the right way. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 17:54, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One point: The other user said, "The album was released worldwide back in the 70s", and I think he is saying that your edits about a Canadian edition only refer to recent editions, not the originals, and is therefore misleading. I see no reason why factual information about any edition can't be added, but if it is misleading or does not address original editions, this may be something that needs to be fixed. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 17:57, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but I see Wiki Alf has given you a hand, and his edit summary is great. I've been having similar trouble with another article, where someone insists on removing some content and refuses to explain why he believes it's untrue, even though he is very insistent that it is. He opened a "request for comment" which I wasn't going to recommend to you, because these don't get a lot of attention, and that was this case in this instance: nobody commented. On that basis, I restored the text. I'm waiting to see what fallout, if any, results. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 11:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jac and Ron :)

Hi! Yes I'm french and live in France. I could not see Jac Berrocal on stage yet, I missed his last live show in my city after arguying with my ex-girlfriend^^ So, waiting for the next one... Actually I could see him in Belgium "playing" bicycle on stage with Nurse with Wound, amazing show! Xic667 (talk) 16:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to tell you, you may have seen there's already an (relatively poor) article about The Molecules. When I wrote down the french article was just after seeing the band play, and I wondered what would be the best to have an article : the man or the band ? And I concluded that afterall an article dedicated to Ron would be better, and would logically include the informations about the band. What do you think ? Personnaly I think it'd be more practical to have a more synthetic article about Ron that would refer his main projects, PAK and The Molecules, and merge all. I would not do it myself, as I told you I'm actually french and not perfectly at ease with writing articles in english. Xic667 (talk) 18:26, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I know the principles of Wikipedia :) (I'm sysop on french wikipedia), it's just that I don't know well the uses here, so I prefer to leave it to more experimented contributors from here (and there's some much work to do in my language...). My idea about The Molecules was just a suggestion, I'm not gonna do it, really. What I may do is for example try a rude traduction of the french article on Berrocal, wich is quite complete, so that you can write it properly. What do you think ? Regards. Xic667 (talk) 18:47, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The link is there, "french", at the bottom of the page on the left, in "languages", can't you see it ? Xic667 (talk) 19:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll launch the traduction in one of my user pages so that you can correct it before we put it in the article. I won't begin before a pair of days at least I think. Xic667 (talk) 19:21, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Smoke on the Water

Hello, I applaud your attempt to find a source for a statement that seems obvious but was deleted because it was unsourced. However, I don't think the Guitar World article made the case that "The song is famous for having, arguably, the most well-known and often-played guitar riff in rock history" all it says is that it is "the first song everyone learns on guitar". I'm all for finding references for unsourced material, I did it myself on this article when the record was broken again this past May, but I think you have missed the mark on this one. J04n(talk page) 23:41, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, CNs means citations right? If so yes, then up to a point. In this case I searched Guitar World, Rolling Stone, and Billboard and couldn't find a quote to support the addition and even so it's just someone's opinion. As another example, see this edit I did earlier today. Someone put in a fact with a non-verifiable source and I went to the school's website, found verification and added it. I read your user page and say "right on" to most most of it, but to maintain quality of this site you do have to expect quality. I think dropping a line and offering help to someone attempting to add to a site (and not just wanting to see that they made a contribution to the internet) is more productive than leaving questionable material. I haven't been on Wikipedia that long and most of my original edits were deleted, I then read some policies, asked advice from editors that had more experience, and now I spend every waking moment editing and think I do a fairly good job. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I try to be between an inclusionist and exclusionist. Hope to talk to you again. J04n(talk page) 01:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You do it your way, I'll do it mine

If the person quoted is living, I remove uncited additions. Just cite what you add. "I heard it" isn't a citation. If the person who added it won't notice the removal, they won't notice the cite tag either. And if misinformation is added, it's degrading, not improving, the encyclopedia. I don't believe that a greater quantity of words necessarily leads to an improvement in the quality of an article. Some articles would be greatly improved by slashing gratuitous quotations. I use my judgment and plan to continue to do so. Feel free to use your own rather than mine.

I disagree that it's better to tag than to remove uncited information about a living person. If you can't cite it yourself, I don't think you should return it to the article. If you think it's important and care about it that much, search up the cite yourself before returning it. In short, no, I don't agree with you. And you're not going to convince me to change my approach and there is nothing wrong with doing it my way.

I'm afraid I never kept a copy of the E-mail, but no matter.

I'm not really sure how you want me to help, but all I can do is offer that advice; just keep as calm as possible. I know that you have probably already told yourself this, and indeed I have never seen a circumstance where you have been rude or were you have shown frustration in your discussion with the user, and so I think that you are dealing with the situation very well, far better than myself in any case, I have ceased to have any communication with the user, as I did not trust myself to maintain a calm state of mind =).

Again, I am not sure why you contacted me about the matter, not that I mind having been contacted, but it just leaves me a bit lost as to how to help. Although I have said that we should back down when discussion becomes nonconstructive I believe that if the user is being rude or unwelcoming to a newcomer, then we should always strive to stop them.

I know that my words are probably of little use to you, as they are probably just a repetition of what you already know.

Again, sorry I can't be of more use, but if you want any other assistance then please just ask, and I'll do my very best.

Re: Edit war/vandalism

I've blocked the most recently used IP based on today's edit summaries, and a comment on my talk page which was a further veiled personal attack. It also takes into account the actions of the previously used IP which were similar, if not more frequent. I'm sorry I didn't notice it before. If you don't mind though, I will stay out of the content dispute matter because it will affect my ability to act in the administrator role on those articles if

other action needs to be taken. Well, that's me directly assisting. As for advising where to go from here? Hmm, I don't know. I will have a think. – B.hotep •talk• 19:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply

I know that you yourself have not edited the GNR page, but I'm curious of your opinion of thier genre and a source I used.

High Tide

They were an early prog metal group who kind of sound like Jim Morrison fronting Black Sabbath. Their first album(Sea Shanties) I highly recommend it, "Death warmed up" and "Futilist's Lament" were very heavy for their time and the album also has it's softer moments. Their second album is more straightforward prog. You may know Simon House from Hawkwind started out with them. Rockgenre (talk)Rockgenre 04:16, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The rules don't apply to some people here, which is why I don't register.

Just to help you out

You forgot to put User:Mozucat in your report. If you are worried that someone will think you to be sockpuppeting in the future you need to separate the potential sock suspects completely by adding them all to your report. Also note, sockpuppetry wasn't brought up. A CU is for sockpuppet checks. Which was not mentioned in earlier discussion regarding the tainted AfD. I don't read where anyone thought that the 3 of you were the same person. The AfD was tainted because of the weighted evidence of personal acquaintance (via the web). That term used for that is "meat" not "sock" A CU can clear "sock" but not really "meat" The CU will just show all the accounts created from the same IP range that you edit from. Hope that helps you out. The Real Libs-speak politely 03:30, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know that. This was in response to your comment: "You seem to forget that, even though all events pointed to doing a checkuser, no one, myself included, ever formally requested one on you and your internet friends.". I didn't want you saying that over and over again as if I were guilty and that somehow you were actually assuming good faith, when in actuality you were constantly refering to the event. Luminifer (talk) 03:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
AGF is great. But at no time should AGF be used as blinders to avoid seeing a possibility because of what it might entail, especially when all other possibilities are far less plausible. For example, we don't overturn Checkuser results because the owner of the IP maintains that there are 25 people in the house that all have their own accounts, and all like to edit the same articles. While that's potentially possible, Occam's Razor applies. --King Öomie 04:13, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply

Interesting comment, but what's the relevance? I'm saying Libs did not AGF. You're saying Libs did not have to (or may not have to had done so). I'm saying Libs was saying they DID AGF in the recent post on the WQA. So, what's the relevance? or is it even important to explain it? I didn't say Libs should have AGF in this case - Libs claimed that they already did, by not issuing a checkuser. I did not want to hear that claim anymore, hence my attempt to enter it myself. Luminifer (talk) 04:15, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, there's a couple claims I'm tired of hearing. Rather than wading through yet more diffs, I'll just say that's not worth explaining. I must say, you are announcing your retirement in many, many places over a fairly long period of time. --King Öomie 04:25, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't... has this not been explained? Libs posted a link to when you said who you were. You had it oversighted, but that doesn't mean the edit never happened. Regardless, it's not going to go away if you insist on telling every editor you bump into that you've been 'outed' (with a handy link to the WQA). --King Öomie 13:07, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
King, I do not appreciate you consistently harassing me on my talk page, despite very clear instructions at the top. Libs did google searches on my userid to attempt to determine my identity. Whether or not this violates any policy, it makes me uncomfortable, as I've stated. I do not appreciate social networking profiles of mine being posted on AFD discussions.

No one asked for a ban. "Tell Libs his behavior is appropriate in a way that Libs will actually acknowledge and adjust to" is more like it. but you misinterpet me anyway- I'm leaving either way. Whether I still have faith in the project as a whole or not is contigent on the outcome of this WQA, as I've been claiming in discussions promoting wikipedia, etc, that there are ways to combat these sorts of things, and if it proves not to be true, then how can there be faith in wikipedia?

Thanks for the WP:MUSIC link

As this is topic drift from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick Wolven I'm replying here.
Thank you for bringing up that thing about 
WP:AUTHOR is far tighter. For example, I'm struggling with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Irene Radford
 where an author has 20 books published by major publishers and with every single one of them available in public libraries (sometimes in over 200 libraries). Were she under WP:MUSIC it's an instant keep but for authors having a book published is not a WP notable event.
One question as you seem to know the music scene. Roughly how many albums are the major record companies producing each month? I'm trying to see how it compares to books published where there's perhaps ten major publishers (many of the old indie publishers are now owned by publishing groups) and each of them releases around 20 new books per month. Counting all of the indie publishers I'd guess 300 new books per month with 30 of those getting highlighted in the "New Books" sections of your local bookstore. --Marc Kupper|talk 10:06, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for your message. While the AFD was a tricky call, in the end the !votes weighed up as being 7-2 (maybe 7-3 if you count the SPA) in favour of deletion.

Hey, here's a really interesting article you might enjoy reading http://www.jptscareband.com/jptlostpioneers.pdf . It mentions some of the more obscure early hard rock and heavy metal bands. Rockgenre (talk) 03:10, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reconsidering of articles

Given the circumstances, you probably could reinstate your previous articles,
it probably isn't to late e.g. Pain Hertz,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Pain_Hertz
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nick_Wolven


Problems with Only Semi-Democratic rules can be a drag and problems with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MUSIC
can be annoying,
but its no reason to give up.
You also appear to have unfinished business here, which could be useful given the circumstances:

--Pendelberry (talk) 11:40, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pendelberry has been blocked as a sock of User:CosmicLegg, who's had socks[5] caught and stopped by Wiki Libs for some time now; thus, the vested interest in undoing anything Libs was involved in. Socks including a number of users you (and I) have worked with before. So I was taken aback when you called libs "one of the worst, longest-running" puppeteers (which is a term that doesn't actually apply, according to Brandon). --King Öomie 21:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
are you saying that to pick a fight and/or just yell at me? or do you really want me to respond reasonably to this? Luminifer (talk) 05:56, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm speaking to the motivations of the user that posted here. You can do what you want, I wanted you to have the full picture. He could give two... about the articles he's suggesting you bring back, he's only interested in undoing something Libs took part in.
Again, do what you want. I personally don't think Lib's involvement (rather, the involvement of accounts and IPs connected to libs) warrant a 'mistrial' in this case, but if you bring the articles back and they meet WP:N, etc, great. --King Öomie 15:14, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply

Nick Wolven

Hi, Luminifer. I have evaluated the article Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Nick Wolven which you placed as being ready for return to the mainspace. Unfortunately, it remains substantially unchanged from the article which was evaluated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick Wolven and deleted. It still lacks any significant reliable sources. As such, I have deleted the article. An article about this person will need to wait for some future time when their notability is established and they garner significant coverage. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Regards.  — CactusWriter | ^needles 22:39, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
I see you added a large number of references to Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Nick Wolven. Unfortunately, none of these really does anything to establish notability - and adding links to non-reliable sources probably hurts the cause more than it helps.
I would suggest first limiting the article to one reference per sentence, except when necessary to demonstrate multiple reviews and eliminating the obviously non-independent sources (e.g. publisher's comments on stories). Then you will need to craft an argument why a (seemly random) review on the web should carry enough authority to establish notability. Hope that helps.
Feel free to ask me is you have any questions, ThaddeusB (talk) 21:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
RFA

You know, I really did enjoy our debates, as heated as they got. Near the end I would actually be worried to open the page, thinking "has he found something to really stump me with?" It really did breed the respect of a sparring partner.
So I have only one thing to say about your post to my RFA.
Well played. --King Öomie 18:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My response to King
Hi King - I don't know how to say this… I think you have potential to be a good admin or contributor, but .. I am bothered by the fact that you don't seem to have taken any of the criticisms on your RFA seriously. Part of my objection really is summed up by what you just said here - that you viewed our discussions as 'sparring', and that you really enjoyed the arguments. I feel that in order to really grasp wikipedia you need to move beyond those attitudes and to understand that wikipedia is a real entity in the world, and that editing it places on you real responsibility for how it is perceived and the information it presents. It is not, as Wiki Libs often says, a game at all. I think you have the ability to rise above a lot of what I see as petty squabbling, but you really need to pull back your perspective, and not jump to conclusions so quickly (re: Sumbuddi for instance).
I really hope you read through the criticisms and _take them seriously_ -- many people had valid thoughts. When you are going to enter and argument, stop and think about where the other person might be coming from. Stop and think about if the effect of you arguing with them will be good or bad for wikipedia. Stop jumping to conclusions so quickly and making it other peoples' responsibilities to convince you otherwise. This is not what NPOV is about, and if you become an admin you will have to apply NPOV to people as well as articles.
Regarding your lack of contributions, no one has summed up the feeling very well - the belief is that, if you have not contributed actual material to the encyclopedia, you won't know what it feels like for someone else to delete it. You won't know how people think when they make contribution, and you won't know how to help them along to assist them in correcting their mistakes. I think this is a valid claim.
Regarding your comment to Sumbuddi that it was my post that caused you not to get adminship, I don't know what to say. Most of the people who objected didn't do so on the grounds of my diffs - people like DGG particularly had very sound points that they brought up as well. It kind of worries me that you don't seem to be taking this seriously - that it sounds not only like you don't plan to listen to what objections people might have, but that you view the whole thing as a game (by your "well played" comment on my talk page, for instance). I need to stress this - no one objects to you as a person, and this is not a valuation of your worth. However, there are things that people want you to improve in order to feel like you will act fairly in all situations. A lot of these have to do with perspective. Please, for yourself and for the project, read over all of the objects, and take them seriously. If you get an adminship the next time, it doesn't mean that all of that good advice people gave was not necessary. I'd like you to be a really good admin, and I think you have the potential, but I do feel you need to work on a few things (who doesn't?).. and a lot of those (not all) were summed up in that RfA.
I wrote this up and then decided maybe it's not even worth posting, since you do genuinely seem to not be taking any of this to heart… especially considering how you've been badgering Sumbuddi on his SPI, and then took it upon yourself to try and respond to Tim Song's query to sum up the position, despite the fact that he repeatedly asked Sumbuddi specifically to respond.
One last comment - you seem to be under this belief that everyone who Supported you was 'in the right', and that everyone who Opposed had some nitpicky issue that really should not have been an issue at all. This is disrespectful to everyone who had a valid objection - and in fact, your belief of this after the RfA serves to show that you really don't seem have respect for 'consensus' (or lack of consensus) when it disagrees with you. Please think about it. Luminifer (talk) 20:54, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Wikipedia is serious, yes, but if it were inappropriate to enjoy one's work, I doubt the project would have the tens of thousands of active contributors it does. There's a level of solemnity required, of course, but I already have a job, and I don't even get paid for this one.
I never said it was your post that cost me the RFA, and I don't believe that to be true. I said that several other opposes cited diffs you provided.
To your last comment- I see no disparity with implicitly agreeing with those who agree with me- and I didn't say that I outright believe all my opposers to be wrong. I accept that different people have different standards. Several specific opposed included characterization of my edits that I felt were quite off-base (including your own), and pointing this out cost me. You'll notice that many of the Opposes have no response from me at all. These I had no real issue with. --King Öomie 20:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that you need to think harder about why you felt that these people's characterizations of your edits were 'off base' with how you interpreted them. Especially for an admin, some degree of understanding why people feel the way they do about your actions is very important. (Also, the answer is not to convince them that your actions were misinterpreted by them. The goal is to try not to perform actions which WILL offend and/or be misinterpreted). Luminifer (talk) 21:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If there's one thing I've learned from a watchlist including admin talkpages, it's that no matter how grounded your actions are in policy and logic, someone somewhere WILL complain directly at your face. I'd say that being able to succinctly explain oneself when faced with such complaints and/or misinterpretation ("You deleted my article because you don't like that person!" being a popular one with CSD A7 tags) is quite important, and that it's not always easy (or even possible) to avoid actions others will take offense to. Hindsight being 20/20, perhaps the most politically correct position is to completely avoid contentious subjects, but it's certainly not the most useful. --King Öomie 21:15, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds to me like you are saying that because it's inevitable that people will get angry at you, you shouldn't think about why someone is angry and figure out if you could have done anything differently. Also, it still feels like you are arguing to prove that you are right, or that what you believe is right, rather than discussing things to reach a common ground or where 'the truth in the middle' may be. This is what people meant by "confrontational". Luminifer (talk) 01:40, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I was saying I disagreed with your prioritization of explaining oneself and avoiding the need to explain oneself. There was no extreme yes/no in there. --King Öomie 02:08, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You must be a saint

I was looking through the incubator and saw Nick Wolven and was curious about the author, so I came here to look around. I was saddened by what I saw.
In looking around I've seen that you have been a very constructive and valuable editor. Exactly the type of person that Wikipedia should be appreciating. But the opposite has taken place.
I looked through WQA and was shocked to see that your attempts at having a 
problem user corrected not only failed but were turned in to an attack on you. I was even more disheartened to see that two others joined in on the attack on you instead of correcting the problem user. And even worse, the problem user was a super-ultra-massive sock puppeteer
.
What I expected was that the two others would apologize and admit their mistakes, but what I saw was that they attacked you again. Then to top it off they both ran for adminship and attacked you even more for politely pointing out their weaknesses. Weaknesses that were actually egregious failures on their part.
It's just amazing how vicious people can be to good contributors such as yourself. I really must commend you on being so cordial to such vicious people. I would have blown my top. Maybe my perspective is different because I was able to read several months of events in a couple hours, but I have to say you must be some kind of saint to put up with all of that and not loose your cool and to continue to be polite
It looks like your semi-retirement changed to full retirement, so I'm not sure that you'll ever see this. But I needed to say something after reading through all the hell that you went through. I wish you the best and am sorry you had to go through all that nastiness. 64.40.62.48 (talk) 05:25, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
