Yeah, I've popped my head over at IRC a couple of times; I struggled! I couldn't give myself a voice whenever I signed in, so I was being asked constantly if I wanted any help; someone gave me a temporary voice but it had expired by the time I got back to my PC. Do you know how to set it automatically? Cheers, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Briefly, I removed the information in question because the
Race and crime article is not about race relations, but simply about the correlation between race and crime. Statistics about interracial crime give a far too narrow view of the topic as they usually comprise a very small percentage of the overall crime rate; in that specific case the statistics assert a "white vs. black" stance (which
adds a POV to the article) and are less than 10% of the overall rape statistics for that year most years. (Not sure about 1982, but that was the case in the 1997 statistics that are already cited in the same section) Basically, not only is the information misleading when placed in that article, it's essentially useless information for the scope of the article as well. Hope that clears it up. --

Hi Master of Puppets. Glad to hear from you. Basically the arguments are being stated at the bottom of the John Howard talk page. There is a problem when adding new content to the John Howard article. There exists are small group of editors who revert it as soon as it's added. Sounds like something out of a Dr Seuss book. Usually, reverts occur seconds after content is added. Reverting to quickly delete content should only be used in cases where there is vandalism, or if someone has inserted libellous content. None of these apply in this case. Referenced material that has been covered by hundreds of major news outlets should be treated differently to that. Added to this, there is a sizable number of editors who have stated that they are in favour of retaining the content, so to use the quick delete method is really not appropriate. Will talk more.

I wanted to share some good news: I received my first WP:GA recognition, for my work in expanding and promoting the article Pontius Pilate's wife. Really, it is the only nice thing to happen to me on WP in the past week. People have been on my case, for one thing or another, and I was seriously thinking of quitting (the ultimate WikiBreak). But the WP:GA award tells me I must be doing something okay -- at least by someone's standards.

Hey Master of Puppets, since you're an adopter of Ecoleetage, I was wondering if you could look at this note I left at his talk page. He replied to it less than positively here and deleted the note I left as nonsense. Do you find anything wrong in what I said? It essentially does appear to be begging people for barnstars and recognition, which reflects poorly on him. Was I out of line, or do you think I was okay in what I said? Or is it just a case of an overly-sensitive user? Thanks, Metros ( talk) 02:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the vote of confidence.
I have to contradict a certain editor who has been turning up on this page by stating that I am not begging for barnstars or any recognition. As I have said several times, I have been frustrated lately over what I am perceiving as abusive and patronizing commentary from people I am trying to work with. Maybe it is just too much muck piling up all at once, or maybe it is a combo of online and offline muck (offline hasn't been a day at the beach for me, either). In any event, I didn't get the impression that my work was appreciated -- perhaps I vented my frustration in a rambling manner (and please remember that English is not my primary language, so often it sort of comes out screwy).
I greatly appreciate your support and friendship. Be well. Ecoleetage ( talk) 03:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the offer of help. But I can't seem to narrow it down to what it is I need help with -- like everything, maybe? I think IRC is much more difficult to learn, for me anyway, than Wikipedia. I can copy things I see from the edit windows, etc. But, I see all these "templates", which I've found some, such as citation needed and who?, but do not know if there is a place where all the templates are located. I know there are many, I just don't know where to look. Also the larger templates, banners? for whole sections, etc. Is there a cheat sheet somewhere for these types of things? Oh, I've been to WP:V and WP:RS and found some there, but I don't see some of the templates I've seen on some other articles. I can't show you an example now, because I don't remember were I saw the particular banner template. Thanks again. -- KGBarnett ( talk) 03:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

You deleted this article. I had many sources available and references including an article in the Toronto Star. It is significant because it is a camp which was around for more than 50 years. as far as summer camps go that is significant. camps pop up all the time but few last for very long let alone for over 50 years. I also have two more articles from the Toronto Star talking about the camp but I had not added them yet. There is more significance listed here than there is for 70% of the camps listed on Wikipedia. I didn't just create a stub that says it was a camp located in an area without any other information about it. Significance is also evident in the fact that my sources are the Trent University Archives which saw fit to keep information about it, and the Burk's Falls and District Historical Society which displays camp materials in their museum as the camp has made a great impact on the community. Significance should be implied when a museum puts items from it on display. I was told after the first deletion that what I needed was a couple of sources and the article could go back up. Can you please undelete this article now? Also why was this just deleted without me getting some kind of warning that it was going to be deleted so I could defend it or add information?

Hi. I went to edit something today, only to find this message:
"You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia.
You can still read pages, but cannot edit, change, or create them.
Editing from (your account, IP address, or IP address range) has been disabled by Master of Puppets for the following reason(s):
Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Roscoep007". The reason given for Roscoep007's block is: "Vandalism-only account".
This block has been set to expire: 06:14, 2 June 2008."
Obviously I am not Roscoep007, rather an editor with around 9,500 edits, who has contributed to FAs, GAs and DYKs, received a number of Barnstars for my work on Australian related articles and never been blocked. It seems that I share an IP address with someone who you blocked and thus found myself blocked as well (I have had to go to a public internet place to post this). I was thinking "wouldn't it be really cool if this Master of Puppets unblocked me, didn't block me again purely because of some other user sharing an IP address, and let me return to working on the articles I was quietly working away on?"

Well, I need help with a similar type of thing - graphics editing.

I've got to have all the awards done by July 15th, and I don't even have the first one finished yet.
I'm looking for someone who knows how (or is interested in jumping in and learning how) to work on images in xcf format using GIMP, or Inkscape, etc. (Because I and others will need to be able to edit each image's layers after you are done with it).
If this sounds like something you are interested in helping with, please drop me a note.
By the way, both GIMP and Inkscape are free, making it easy to get started from scratch.
I look forward to your reply.

Thanks so much for your help on WP. You've helped transform this bungling newbie into a full-fledged Huggle-loving editor (and helped me acknowledge that forgetfulness wasn't only isolated to this kiddo).
However, I have decided to leave Wikipedia for good. Real life (a.k.a., studies, music, etc.) has taken over, and so Wikipedia is one of the things I am forced to leave behind.
I'll check in every once in a while, but peer reviews, copyediting, and other heavy work must end. Thanks again for being a fellow Wikipedian!

Hey, MoP
I made that change to "Cell" because while the 'hive-mentality' was indeed a crucial plot point, I felt it was a bit of a spoiler in that particular section of the article. My feeling is if it's not on the back of the book then is shouldn't be on the description section of the book's wiki-article. Plot details like that, IMO, should be reserved for the PLOT DESCRIPTION sections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadowtron ( talk • contribs) 12:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Master, I should have said nothing. There was a complain on AN about a very POV pusher, Tvoz. I should have said nothing. Now, Tvoz is going to pick on me and try to ban me because I just added a comment. You remember that you unblcoked me. However, the bad taste for being wrongly banned resulted in me not editing.

Um, MoP, why did you unblock a sockpuppet of Dereks1X [12]? Considering he socked his way to admin account Archtransit and has been banned by the community on several occasions, in several incarnations, I am rather disappointed with the boldness of your actions. I see that the RFCU came back as unlikely, but I would have hoped you contacted the blocking admin or a checkuser before deciding to unblock. MBisanz talk 18:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
The RFCU proves that I am not a sock. Master of Puppets' wisdom is shown as I have been constructive (pissed off at Wikipedia, mainly). Blocks are suppose to prevent damage to Wikipedia so if no damage occurs, the people who then advocate blocking do it for blood and punishment. The people who accused me used the logic of "anyone who I disagree with can be banned by being called a sock".
Master of Puppets, I will continue to show that you are a smart person by showing I edit Wikipedia well. You need to stick to your guns and don't let Bobblehead and Tvoz scheme to block everyone they hate. They are scheming now per their talk pages. Please don't let them control Wikipedia and use it as a political campaign tool. You can do this by protecting me as long as I edit responsibly.
Their use of the term "MO" is just an excuse to block others. Since they both use the term, using their logic, they are displaying behavioral evidence of sockpuppetry. Oprahwasontv ( talk) 00:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I feel like I want to be adopted so I can learn more about Wikipedia. Well, I registered last June, so I'm technically a newbie. But I have over 1500 edits here. Nevertheless, I still want to be adopted so I can learn more. Please! Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 06:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know that the Keith "Steve" Howard thing arises from the execrable abridged Yu-Gi-Oh. We had the same problem when Keith Howard was a separate page. Stifle ( talk) 10:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Your userpage in the "Basic Statistics" section says you are 17 (witch is real according to the birthdate), but the "Wikipedia" and "Userbox" sections say your are 16 years old. Please correct your age in the "Wikipedia" and "Userbox" sections. Thank you. Mythdon ( talk) 02:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi MoP. I understand you create "ads" for specific wikiprojects. Would you mind creating one for WP:QUAKE - we kinda need a bit more publicity! Your friend Eddy O. D. Wiki citation needed 15:07, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which passed with a count of (154/3/2). I appreciate the community's trust in me, and I will do my best to be sure it won't regret handing me the mop.

I notice you commented on this issue on his talk page already, so I thought I'd raise it with you rather than bother with anything formal at this stage. His tagging of the article for Muten Roshi as lacking notability has no consensus basis, and in fact defies consensus. There was an AfD listing arguments and sources for his notability, and the talk page notes in detail evidence like good hits and so on which also go to notability. The consensus is clearly in favour of his notability (albeit with the article being fixed up alot). The merge "discussion" provides neither evidence nor consensus for tagging for noteability, and he keeps reverting me when I fix the page. Can you please tell him to stop until he actually provides an argument or some consensus on this? JJJ999 ( talk) 01:19, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

You said: If you'd like to reupload this image and you are indeed the creator, please remove the watermark
First - what I am about to say is not a personal attack on you but a comment on the way this issue has been handled.
I will stress what I said on the image page - I am the photographer and I own all rights. How I choose to license any of my images in up to me and me alone. The License I chose is:
This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 171 Second Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, California, 94105, USA.
I do not think you, or any other mod, took the time to read what I posted on the images talk page and the clear citations of the Wiki rules as they apply to my images and how the images are allowed and should not be deleted. If you, or any mod, had taken the time to read and not just delete I would have seen the discussion on the topic. There were none.
As for your specific comments to me: perhaps you are not a photographer or, if you are, you have no objections to your work being given away without any form of protection. That is fine if so, however as I would never tell you how to release your photographs or work I would appreciate you not telling me how I can, or can not, license my work. Your comment implies I am not the photographer but if I really were all I have to do to prove it is to upload a "clean" image. After 30 years in the industry I can say this with all seriousness - Do you think I am stupid?

I just thought you might want to take a look at what happened when I took the ignored report to AIV. I am somewhat upset ... this was a clearly a report that could have been handled immediately at AIV. Instead, I had to wander over to ANI, where such things get quickly lost. Because things get lost and delayed by everyone's desire to discuss things, I had to move the report to get people to notice it. About three times as much work, and a much slower response time.

I do have an account, but I often edit from my IP. In this case, I knew these guys were coming and figured I should put a hold on them as soon as I could. Cheers, 65.190.95.8 ( talk) 01:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, it's me again. Goingoveredge on the potential superpower page has accused us of pushing POV, and calling us indophobics (calling me an indophobic when I'm of indian descent, weird, huh), and accusing us of owning. Even after you told him to stop that. He also calls the author of one of our sources a neo-facist neoconservative who lives outside the mainsteam academic despite the fact that Parag Khanna is one of the most respected members in International Relations and Geopolitics. Also, accusing our sources of being written by a guy of racist ideology. While we're still reviewing the sources he's put because some of us have concerns that the sources he's putting only have to do with why it's a potential ______(ex. Military) superpower and not an full fleged potential superpower. So, you already warned all of us, you already told us not to make unfair accusations, so I don't know what to do?
