AfD nomination of SPCMDCON.SYS
- Hi, sorry I didn't get to comment in this AfD in time. I didn't see your message until today since I don't actually check my user page that often. If you leave a message on my talk page next time Wikipedia will notify me and I'll get to it more quickly. Again sorry about that. What was the page about? Can we add the information somewhere else?

The Dragon on the Bookshelf
No problem. And thank you for creating the page. If you ever need help with some of the more tedious bits and pieces of a page (category sorting, referencing, templates, etc.) don't hesitate to ask. How did you come across this story? Do you read a lot by Harlan Ellison and Robert Silverberg? I've been trying to add to and improve some of the articles on Harlan Ellison's short stories and collections and would love some help and suggestions. Cheers! Sbacle 01:42, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Your recent RfA
I'm sorry, but I've closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you've only got 176 edits on Wikipedia; while edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards that they judge RfA candidates by, there was no chance that the RfA was going to pass.
I'm sorry about this, and hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I'm confident that you could possibly run a successful RfA in the future. You may want to consider submitting yourself to Wikipedia:Editor review for feedback on where to get some good experience, and when you're ready for RfA again, there's a great Wikipedia:Admin coaching program for you to use, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.
If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

UWU
Thankyou for your interset in the Union of Wikipedia Users...I was informed that making an account for the purposes of it being a Union, group ex. was against Wiki laws...or something like that. Therefore we are removing the User: U.W.U. page on Monday, October 22nd. However we do plan on having something like an Alliance to ensure accuracy in articles. We (me and User: Greenwood1010) will contact you soon (most likely on friday or monday) Thankyou! --King of Nepal 13:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
New Group??
Are you forming a new group? We can still work togather with out a page1 Rush me info about this new group. Are you taking over the UWU? I resigned as Chairman today...you have to talk to User: Greenwood1010 he is the new chairman. Thanks --King of Nepal 13:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
What is going on?
I am the Chairman of the Union of Wikipedia Users and I go to the uwu page and see that some one is claiming to be in charge of the uwu and says that I am vice-president...of my own group of which i am chairman? What is going on here? Please contact me right away!User: Greenwood1010 —Preceding comment was added at 13:51, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Chairman Greenwood
If you want to relocate it and all that...fine. It's just taht you should have let me know, or did you think my friend, User: King of Nepal was still chairman? Anyhow I am incharge of UWU and your renaming of the group does not change that...however give me a day to think, I like your ideas...please drop by and leave me a message of your plans...BUT I AM IN CHARGE... however I do need a Vice-Chaiman, interseted? User: Greenwood1010 —Preceding comment was added at 13:57, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Greetings from Nepal
Hello, I see that Greenwood contacted you. Hope all is going well. I have to log out, but keep up the goog work. I will get in touch with you on monday, around 10 a.m. ok well just make sure that the group does not break any of Wikipedia's laws ok!? ByeUser: King of Nepal —Preceding comment was added at 14:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
ok
Ok then, it all sounds very confusing. One request however, is there anyway that we can stop using the User: UWU page, from what i've heard using a username for somthing like this is against wikipedia's laws. can we move the alliance to another page/link (forgive me I'm not good with "computer talk") Anyhow you seem to know what you are doing. It is just that the user name, User: U.W.U. is one of my personal accounts and I already have one so I'm trying to have it deleted. (it seems both me and King of Nepal are having troble with our signature!! User: greenwood1010 —Preceding comment was added at 14:13, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Banned
What do you mean it will get us banned, and how do you delete it? Everytime I go to User: U.W.U. your name followed by the WAU show up, conatct me right away. Stop submitting all info. My e-amil is [email protected] if have to leave soon so i will have to talk torromow, but i'm still hear untill 10:55am User: U.W.U. AKA User:Greenwood1010
This is what I am going to do
For now I say that we delete all UWU and WUA stuff, then talk later and regroup...did you say that you submitted the WUA stuff to wiki? I am just going to delete all UWU & WUA stuff for now...however I can't remove my account. Did you link User: U.W.U. to your acciount?[[--Greenwood1010 14:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)]]
ok2
Ok i won't remove the User:Gp75motorsports/Wikipedia Users' Alliance page. But when you type in User: U.W.U. it takes me to the page with this at top. So ok it's my 2nd account..umm but your in control of it? Anyhow I just hope it all works out, it would be a nine thing: I have a gov idea, i'll post it in a minute:--U.W.U. 14:41, 18 October 2007 (UTC) Government Idea
You seem to know more than I do about how this all works so how about if the WUA is run by a council, but for the most part it only handles judicial type things (expelling members, interviewing those who want to become members ex.) The Chairman (that’s me) will have veto power and overall authority, however the President (you) will be appointed by the Chairman and will handle overall administrative duties (setting up the pages, planning meetings ex.) That is how many companies are run, with a CEO, Chairman, Board of Directors and then an administrative President. Does this sound ok? Anyhow for now it will be me, Chairman, you Vice- Chairman. I have to go in 5 minutes so we will talk tomorrow, around 10 am? Is that ok? Anyhow bye and I look forward to working with you. Keep me up to date and see you tomorrow.--U.W.U. 14:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC) aka User: Greenwood1010

A Major Announcement
“As Chairman of the Wikipedia Users Alliance I herby abolish the offices of Chairman and Vice-Chairman in an effort to ensure that WUA is in complete compliance with all of Wikipedia’s laws and regulations and that the group will be open to all Wikipedians without them having to follow or report to a Chairman, President or anything of that nature. This action shall take place at 10:35 today, October 19, 2007. This is my last act as Chairman and while it does sadden me, I know that it is what’s best for the WUA. Thank you and may the heavenly spirits bless the success of the Wikipedia Users Alliance. Sincerely, His Excellency Founder and Chairman of the Wikipedia Users Alliance,--King of Nepal 14:32, 19 October 2007 (UTC) "

Look when WUA is deleted then we should not repost it...I am opposed to that idea...however we could have a wua in "exile" type thing... by this i mean that we still could get together on one of are disscussions page and talk about articles we edited or whatever and we would have on officla webpage or whatever just wiki friends united in an unoffical group. With a form of gov you know, but no username site or anything like we have now...what do you think--Greenwood1010 13:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
No
No talk page...first lets go to the debate page and in a nice mannner say that we now will no longe roppose the deletion...second did you send me a e-mail...3rd the group will have on page or anything like that--Greenwood1010 13:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

How about an Accuracy on the Internet Alliance group. (Now, for all of you who are watching this page...THIS IS NOT A WIKIPROJECT GROUP. I am not trying to start another "movement" So before all of you freak out, I suggest you finish reading this message) I mean that we would go around to different websites (Wikipedia, About.com AND MANY OTHERS) and insure that the info was accurate. Ok? Like, for example we would go to a history website and make sure everyhting was true...get what I am saying? (Now Gp75mot...I know you like wikipedia...but you can't just do wikipedia, you have to do other sites as well...ok?) Anyhow think about. Your friend--Greenwood1010 12:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
External domain
If you pay the fees for the domain name and hosting, pretty much whatever you want to within the boundaries of the law wherever your site is being hosted. There is all kinds of free software out there to set up forums, etc. Heck you can even download the MediaWiki software and host your own wiki for you and your friends.--Isotope23 talk 16:28, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- You can do anything you like on your own domain. But... aren't you overthinking this a little bit? I work to improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia. I have online friends who help me. I don't need to organize a group to do this, I just... do it. People who have the same goals work with me, and we have a nice social little time while getting useful work done, all without a separate web site or any formal organization. I think you might end up finding that the organization distracts you from the work you want to do, rather than helping you do it- we've had much larger organizations at Wikipedia try what you're doing, and in general, it hasn't worked nearly as well as just getting on with the work of building the encyclopedia. Still, off-wiki, it's entirely up to you, and I wish you success in whatever you end up doing. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Listen
I really do support any conclusion to this matter. However Giove and myself already made an agreement wich he broke within 48 hours (with circa 15 edits). He accepted my proposal for us both to stop editing because of the possible restriction, but went on as per usual. This is just an example, I'm afraid, and I'm skeptical because of this, but will do my best.
Every time there is a historical/ethnic conflict people (not excluding myself sometimes) are prone to irrational conversation and dubious arguments, Giove, however, is beyond all this, he just emakes a dozen edits and "explains" them with an uncompromising sentence or two, the reply to wich he does not answer.
- Hope someone does. I think even most Italian editors realize he is behaving irrationally. With the possible exception of the so-called "esuli" (eng: "exiles") editors, people who left territories in TALK) 15:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)]
Hi, Gp75motorsports.
Few notes: the best description of Giove's behaviour is on the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Dalmatia/Evidence, section "Evidence present by Kubura"..
About user PIO. See this : Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Dalmatia#Statement_by_semi-involved_PIO. Also, I think that PIO has a history of certain words against admins on it.wiki (I think Ilario).
Also, user Cherso is a "one-time edit" user. Possibly a sockpuppet of Giove himself, or of his banned collaborant Giorgio Orsini.
Sincerely, Kubura 09:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I suggest we spend some days discussing it on the appropriate page with the Slovene so we can understand his intention.

I don't see an error on your userpage so I don't know what you did, but most likely you broke the table, see Help:Table also I said earlier "the only pics not allowed on user pages as far as I know are copyrighted (without permission)/ fairuse pictures" I forgot to say illegal pictures. anyways I'll have to see the error in order to fix it.▪◦▪≡ЅiREX≡Talk 01:41, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't be so sure, we'll still have to be on the lookout for his puppets. I don't think LEO's one of them, but I also don't think a "mere" ban will discourage Giove. I'd say we may have another User:Afrika paprika on our hands before long, the guy probably thinks this is all part of my GRAND MASTER PLAN, he's blaming me. --
monobook.js
Thanks Gp75, but I was mostly being trying to be funny. I don't use monobook-related stuff much, but for other reasons than fear (I use many different OS's at the various places I edit from, and things that seem to work in Windows don't on a Mac, and vice versa, and it's a pain to fiddle with it all the time). I'm sure I could get the WE to work, but I know I'd just edit anonymously.
However, if I do try something monobook-related sometime and need help, I may pester you (now that you've made the mistake of telling me you know what you're doing).
Thanks, --

Wow... your userpage is impressive :) Not to mention your talk page...It's huge!!!
I must sincerely thank you. I had no Idea the wikipedia is such a user-friendly and active community! I thought... It's like everyone for himself.
I will definitely check it out. Tho, I only worry about the image uploads... must read more about that. I really really hate pre-done layouts. I'm probably going to code my own. Must only learn about the automated features such as collapsible objects and wikipedia-specific things... Other than that... ^__^

- 1) The IP started reverting within 48 hours of Giovanni Giove's ban.
- 2) The IP's reverting the exact same articles Giovanni was interested in (in the same way).
- 3) Check out Giove's statement in his sockpuppet report (here: [1]):

RE: No prompt
When the Commodore 64 is powered on, the C64's BASIC 2.0 operating system is loaded from from 20 KB of ROM rather them a hard drive, which meant it came on instantly rather then the user seeing any kind of boot screen, if you want add something that you what see when loading a program from a floppy or a tape drive, you could type

illegitamacy
gp, you undid an edit citing "does this dis the topic". I'm not sure I follow. Were you saying it's not relevent to the topic of bastardy laws when modern judges publicly espouse a prejudiced view against bastards?, or that the substance of the judges comments (verifiable) were so unconscionable that the only civil response is to pretend they were never said?

- You didn't quite "get it". You created adoption pages for people who haven't agreed to be adopted by you. Hell, with you being on a topic ban, should you even be adopting others? An adopter is supposed to be an example for the adopted user; I don't think having a topic ban is a good example. Your UAA report was clearly wrong; that's not even close to being promotional. So, no, you don't fully "get it" yet. Metros (talk) 20:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

AND, add that to the fact that I didn't know Hopiakuta's last edit was a half-month before I posted the thread. If I had known that, I wouldn't have created that page or the adoption directory in the first place. And from now on, I'll stay away from UAA because I violated not only community terms, but my own terms (which are to not do anything unless I know it's against username rules).

- Okay, but still, in no way did you ask to go around your topic ban. The way your question is worded appears to sinply be a general query about whether that's allowed (for any user) or a good idea (for any user). You never explicitly ask if you can go around your topic ban. Hersfold's response appears to have no knowledge of the topic ban within it. He clearly answered it as a general query and not a "can I go around the topic ban?" question. Metros (talk) 21:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

What'd you want? A card signed by everyone saying "We hope that you have a speedy recovery so that you can return soon as a non-productive editor who proves again and again why he is on a topic ban"?

- You do realize that your next block is going to be fairly long, right? Probably in the 3-6 months to a year to possibly indefinite range. So when that block expires, you better become a productive user who doesn't have all these "accidents" and "mistakes" that you keep experiencing. Metros (talk) 14:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
GP, can you possibly explain what you are hoping to accomplish here? Prior to your topic ban, your sole purpose was to give an obvious troll the attention he wanted. Since then, instead of contributing to the encyclopedia, you have gone out of your way to get blocked. You've pushed the limits of your topic ban and played the victim time and time again. I've even defended you... foolishly. Enough. Stop begging for attention and contribute. If you don't want to contribute, retire or get banned. Simple. AniMate 15:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
If you want the respect of the community at large, earn it. People like Riana and Newyorkbrad have dedicated themselves to working on many, many different areas of the project (as well as working across some of the other WMF projects), and as such, people have respect for them.

Well, I can’t claim to be an expert on the fine art of Wikipedia editing. But here are some things that I learned from relatively brief time here.
1. Articles don’t write themselves. They begin with a single person, usually sitting alone somewhere, who thinks he is creating something special that the world will appreciate. Always remember that there is a person who created the article. That will save you a lot of grief down the road.
2. Some people get very attached to their articles. Almost obsessively. When you edit someone else’s article, you may feel that you are improving it. But the person who created the article may feel you are ruining their work. This can create fights.
3. There is no one be-all/end-all way to write and edit an article. Yes, Wikipedia requires certain ways to reference footnotes, but that’s another matter. The actual art of creating and writing is highly subjective. You may look at a subject one way, I will look at it another, and a third guy will have an opinion that contradicts both of us. Go figure.
4. Everyone can and will make mistakes in writing and editing. That’s why pencils have erasers and Wikipedia has the “undo” function. Remember that no one makes intentional mistakes, so don’t be cruel and nasty if someone goofs up (and that message goes to some other people who may be reading this, by the way!).
5. If you are in doubt, share your work with others and ask for feedback. While some people around here may seem rude, there are a lot of nice people on Wikipedia. I’ve met some and I can help make introductions. And always surround yourself with positive people – stay away from losers who cannot say anything nice to you!
6. Don’t worry about the quantity of edits you have. Focus on the quality of your work. Time is your ally.
7. Enjoy what you are doing here. If you find yourself getting upset or having fights with people, something’s not working. When that happens, turn off the computer, give yourself a rest, then come back later.
Now, I don’t know anything about your editing or your approach to Wikipedia articles. If you have the time and interest, you can do me a big favor. My pal Magnewatan is trying to clean up an article. It is over here: [7]. If you’d like to work with us, here is what you can do: copy the article off Wikipedia, save it as a Word document. Edit it as you believe it needs to be edited. Then e-mail your Word document to me. Let me look at it, and I can report back. How does that sound?
Thanks!

Advice
I'm quite sorry you hurt your hand and I'm sorry that someone from your school is harassing you. Neither of these things, however, have anything to do with your current block. You seem to desperately want someone (mostly Metros) to help you. He has. You were an unproductive contributor focused solely on one vandal. So Metros and the community gave you and Blow of Light some strict guidelines to help you edit productively. BoL (for the most part) followed the guidelines set out for him and is free from editing restrictions. You are not. You seem extremely uninterested in actually editing the encyclopedia. In fact, of your 1900 or so edits, only 311 are actual edits to articles. Now, you should know, I'm giving you this advice because I want to. It's not my job to guide you anymore than it is Metros'. That's something you seem very confused about. While some administrators are natural nurturers, it isn't a requirement. They have a mop (in the form of extra buttons) to help clean up and protect the encyclopedia. They are not your teachers, they are not guidance counselors, they are not mentors. If that's what you want, I'm sure any of the people watching this page would be happy to put you
Still, all of this begs the question: Why are you here? Looking over your history, it seems to be that you enjoy the dramatic, community aspects of Wikipedia but don't really care for contributing to the mainspace. That's problematic, as your contributions to the "meta" side of things aren't helpful either. So, why are you here? And, what do you want?
Personally, it looks to me like you're after acceptance by the Wikipedia community. That only comes from meaningful mainspace contributions or insightful contributions to the meta/policy side of things. If I'm right about your motivations, and I suspect that I am, can I suggest that another venue might be appropriate for the kind of interactions you're looking for. Here's a
I'm not telling you to retire or anything, but I do think these options might be better if what you're really looking for is simply community acceptance and personal interaction. These are just my opinions/late night thoughts. I'd consider listening, as something here has to change. AniMate 08:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, something is going to change. Let's try to harness some of that energy and enthusiasm into a worthwhile project? Which leads us to our next topic for GP75...
- I still really want you to think about what I've said. Article writing and copyediting haven't been things you've been very keen on in the past, and there are other virtual communities out there where you might find the types of interactions you seem to be looking for. AniMate 11:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I need your help in researching/writing an article
Listen, I have a friend who is a movie actress and a former
Oh, how is the hand doing?
- Uh, okay. I'll see what I can do. --REV LIMITER 11:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)]
Okay, I sent the information over. Take a look at it and give it a try. You may have a talent for article writing that you didn't even know was there! Also, I won't be online much this weekend, so just be careful around here. Be well.
Got it. ;) --
Adoption?
GP, when this situation is behind you, would it be okay if I adopted you? Let me know.
- Sure. --REV LIMITER 10:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)]
- Great. Now we have something to look forward to! Oh, heads up: I got three Did You Know? notices over a four-day period (May 30-June 2). I was a bit happy and wanted to share the news. :-) When you're active again, let's make an effort to go after the Did You Know? competition. talk) 12:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)]
- Sounds good! --REV LIMITER 16:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)]

This is kind of sick, but another DYK notice just came in -- my second today. Hey, you have some article ideas cited on your User Page. When you have the time, see about creating them offline. When you've resumed editing, we'll get them online and get some DYK nods for you!
I hope it is a good day for you. How is your hand healing?
- My hand's healing well. I'm having the stitches taken out Thursday. --REV LIMITER 17:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)]
Did you do...this???
Hey is this your creation: [8]? Because if it is, you could be a fine writer. I enjoyed this a lot – excellent work! Really, I’ve not been this surprised since I caught Fred Flintstone smoking cigarettes: [9].
- Yep. Suprisingly it's not really my favorite work. My favorite is this. --REV LIMITER 19:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)]
- This is good stuff! Do you want to be a writer? You have the tools to pursue it, if you wanted to. talk) 00:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)]

You are? I know people who know people -- let me know when you are ready for publication. Seriously, I wish we had more people on Wikipedia who can write original content. There was a Texas congressman named Sam Rayburn who said that any jackass can kick a door down, but it takes a carpenter to build one. You need to hang out with the carpenters and stay away from the jackasses.
The article you are working on
FYI, I was very impressed with the diligence you are putting into the article I assigned you. Keep up the good work.
- Thanks. I'm working on it when I can. --REV LIMITER 10:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)]
Get well
Remember what I told you through AIM ;)

Another idea
Hey, if you have the time and interest, can you please recommend some articles lying around Wikipedia that should be considered for
Just to clarify -- I just want you to ID what you feel are articles that should be considered for deletion. I am curious to get your input on how this site operates. We will obviously discuss the choices once you point them out. Thanks!
- Sounds like an excellent idea! Going there now. --REV LIMITER 16:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)]
Very nice. I hope the day is treating you well.
- It is. --REV LIMITER 18:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)]

No prob. Let me know what you think. Hope you are doing well -- how is the hand feeling?
- Feeling pretty good, actually. --REV LIMITER 16:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)]
