Abd

User_talk:Abd#Block – Abd has some unaddressed concerns about the block you placed him under. --Michaeldsuarez 02:03, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Bumping. --Michaeldsuarez 20:26, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

My statement is in the block reason and explained on the RfH page. I saw his concerns, but he needs to use the template so other sysop can review if they disagree. But thanks for the notification. --WizardOfOz ^talk 20:30, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Can you please repeat your comment on his talk page so that he knows that he has to use Template:Unblock? --Michaeldsuarez 23:00, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Fell free to link it there. --WizardOfOz ^talk 23:06, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I left a note. I'll try to notify him on the Wikipedia Review. Thanks for clearing things up. --Michaeldsuarez 23:37, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Sporna slika

Heh, znam, i to je najgore od svega. Ja sam se svo vreme nadao da će konačno shvatiti i da će ispraviti svoju brljotinu, pa da ne moram da menjam glas. Ispostavilo se da je ovoga puta u pitanju Srbija, zemlja u kojoj trenutno živim, ali to uopšte nije razlog mog protivljenja. Čak ne zagovaram nijednu od tih slika (bliži sam onome što je Bokica predložio), ali je de facto poražavajuće da kandidat za stjuarda ni posle tri dana nije shvatio suštinu i ispravio tu relativno jednostavnu grešku. mickit 13:53, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Držim fige :) Najveći problem je ako nastavi to da radi i sa drugim slikama. Ali, videćemo. mickit 13:57, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Vidim iz komentara na njegovoj stranici za razgovor (koristim GoogleTranslate) da neki misle da je po sredi prosto nacionalizam. Ne znam samo čiji, imajući u vidu strukturu onih koji su glasali protiv ili bili neutralni (a glasali su tako zbog brlje koju je napravio). Dobro, ima tu i nacionalizma, verovatno i inata, ali opet maše suštinu. mickit 14:11, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

essay

Which is whjat I hoped Nemo would do - instead he waited several months and then decided none of the edits met his standards <g>. Note my specific use of the article talk page etc, and his specific non-use thereof. Cheers - but I suppose the "wrong version" curse strikes again. Collect 20:34, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Trustful user

Just to tell, if im a good editor, do I need to request for premissions such as adminship, basic needs (rollbacker, reviewer, autopatrolled) or breaucrat on Meta. If you say no tell the reason and what time I should apply for request approximately. Please reply at my talk page for the results. I applyied for rollback rights here and it was unscuessful for me. What should I do? Help please. Note: reply this situation to the talk page. --Mohamed Aden Ighe 20:49, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Nemo bis

Without any consensus has gone and restored the old and not-consensus version of the DICK essay. I am not a sysop, and am unable to correct his misuse of sysop powers to make his own favoured version "official." At least I would think that a sysop using sysop powers to make his own edits is improper. Cheers. Collect 18:23, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I need to second this. He made a highly controversial edit under full protection. You have asked him to revert it. I have asked him to revert it. And yet it still stands. Please revert it as soon as is convenient to you, and ask him to take his proposed edits to the talk page.--Jimbo Wales 23:04, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Abd re: email

Hi! I have changed your block of User:Abd to allow his use of email. I'm not aware of it being misused by him on meta and the enwiki block has not gotten it disabled. Feel free to change it back if you have evidence of its misuse. N.B.: this would not be wheel-warring as you have my blessing to restore it. Regards, fr33kman 04:33, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

You have some serious explaining to do

I know for a fact that someone has deemed File:Mountain Parkway - Hacker Valley Kiosk.JPG a copyright vio, but it was in my eye copyright fraud. There was several similar images that weren't deemed copyright vios, and why was this one singled out, and don't try to pull the odl "Circumventing block" routine because thats a BOGUS claim.

The weight of evidence is clearly against you and wikimedia. 184.19.68.124 15:05, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

All of those data can´t be seen in your uploaded picture because it is a cropped version. And if I remember well, you´ve claimed that you have make this pic with older cam and before 2005 :D The date in those data above is 2011:01:04 08:34:09. So please stop be boring that kind. --WizardOfOz ^talk 15:44, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Bull, that image wasn't the one that I'm talking about the one that you are talking about is file:Mountain Parkway- Hacker Valley Kiosk.JPG, an entirely diffrent image. The one that i'm prostesting the copyright about is as described above, and uncropped. 184.19.66.13 10:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Described, but not linked to the image where those data can be seen. Posting some data without the image where those are implemented through the cam is without sense. --WizardOfOz ^talk 16:18, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

...As is deleting a image thats not a copyright vio, which was the fact in both cases. 184.19.66.13 10:29, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Is it allowed in Wikipedia?

To keep in the pages of wiki Administrator's personnel thesis? at http://sd.wikipedia.org ? Other problem is We call Computer as same in English, but admin forcibly used his word Ganpukar of Computer. I have proof that thousands of published books called it Computer not Ganpukar. If some one oppose him he started abusive language. That is the reason sd.wikipedia.org never got attraction to Sindhi community. Plz check record there. Other things are he locked CSS due to that on the same site there are lot of font styles appeared there. He is not able to set commonCSS or Monocss. We are in trouble to work in our local Sindhi language. I don't know where to say for this problem. Record history says all the situation there. I appeal plz warn him to follow en.wikipedia.org rules, other wise he will continue use his personnel details and personnel promoted articles there. Dear I am sorry If u r not right person to say all about this, Plz suggest me where I can raise this issue. My sd.wikipedia.org ID is same. His thesis is not a violetion? http://sd.wikipedia.org/wiki/ماحولياتي_انتظام_ڪاڻ_اُپُگِرَهِي_عَڪس_ضماءُ_۽_درجه_بنديءَ_جي_طريقن_جو_اَڀياس

Hello WizardOfOz, I hear there is someone who has an account named Erik Evrest can not log in and an admin says that there is a block. Instead of accusing, but I think it has something to do with you blocking his account in the meta. If not, please find out / researched whether there is something odd.--Erik FestMan 12:57, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

talkback

You have new messages

Hello, WizardOfOz. You have new messages at Mbz1's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

notification of Gwen Gale

Just for the record, I informed Gwen Gale when I noticed Mbz1's RfC (she posted a link to it at an off-wiki web forum) and found that there was no notification made. Also for the record, I have been a frequent critic of Mbz1's Wikipedia activities and honestly find it appealing that it is being allowed to continue on Meta. Both the RfC and whatever this spam to enwiki Arb members is about is creating a rather disturbing portrait of obsession and stalking by Mbz1 of Gwen Gale. I'm honestly not all that familiar about Meta operations and organization, but is there somewhere a discussion can be had about this? It's gotta stop. Tarc 15:17, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

And again Tarc is trying to sweep this under the rug rather than provide evidence explaining or contradicting Mbz1's point. Ajraddatz (Talk) 15:27, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

As I told you before, I will not engage in a rebuttal of Mbz1's "evidence" (the quotes are intentional) against Gwen Gale, as I feel the entire process itself...coming to meta when one has lost the debate at another project...is tainted. That is for the subject of the flawed RfC to do if she chooses...though how she was supposed to do this at all when it fell to 3rd parties to send notifications is beyond me. Let me ask you this; if Mbz1 is simply concerned about Gwen's alleged administrative abuses, why the long sections at the beginning discussing per-administrative activities? Including discussions about Gwen's real-life identity and prior accounts? Stuff like that makes this personal rather than an airing of a concern of admin abuse. Tarc 16:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Well, that last one is worth responding, but, if I may, I'd like to use tarc's own words to respond it please. "That's bullshit, the lack of due diligence would not magically absolve the person of the crime committed. Yes, we as a community should have pressed him for an identity reveal at the RfA, but the fact remains that a bad editor snuck through with a new face to become an administrator. Regardless of how we, collectively, arrived at that point, it must be rectified." This post with the edit summary "bullshit" was made by tarc less than a week ago at RFC concerning another admin on English wiki. --Mbz1 17:14, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Mbz, your command of ad hominems and non-sequitur oriented attacks is nearing legendary status. If you wish to come discuss the Fae/Ash situation, a user who faked a clean start in order to avoid sanctions regarding BLP transgressions, then by all means do so. That has nothing to do with discussing your atrocious and pathetic stalking of Gwen Gale across the WMF. Stick to the topic, if you would. Tarc 17:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

tarc calls its own post that I quoted "ad hominems and non-sequitur oriented attacks"? Interesting!

Stick to the point? OK. I described Gwen Gale's "per-administrative activities" because Gwen Gale made false and half-truth (that are even worse than false) statements about these activities in her RfAs, and once again quoting tarc "the problem is the deception caused by the person behind the administrator account. " Would have Gwen Gale passed her RFA, if the community knew that she wrote two articles about not-notable herself, that she violated topic ban on a few occasions,while claiming in her RFA she did not, that she added external links to her bio, the bio she wrote herself at feministsf.net to a few wikipedia articles and so on, and so on. --Mbz1 18:28, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

WizardOfOz, I apologize for using your talk like this. I will not feed the troll at your talk page any longer. If you have questions about RFC you are welcome to my talk or the RFC itself. Thanks.--Mbz1 18:28, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

• It is getting more and more difficult to deal with Mbz1's psychosis here; I had no involvement with Gwen Gales' RfA or with her prior accounts, Mbz1's "but other stuff" argument fails to impress. I will also note that Gwen's RfA stated up-front who her prior account was; this was taken into consideration anfd accepted by the Wikipedia community. As I have said several times in several places now, I have yet to see a justifiable reason as to why a Meta RfC was created for an administrator issue, if there actually is one at all, in one project (en.wiki). That this user is blocked form en.wiki should not be a free license to circumvent the dispute resolution there; Arbcom can easily be e-mailed, and this user could be unblocked solely to participate in a case if accepted.
• Honestly at this point I am tempted to employ Meta's deletion process on this fraudulent RfC and let the chips fall where they may. Tarc 20:23, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

So ladies, if you have nothing against, this is my talk page and not a forum. Please discuss your points somewhere else. I just provided a notification of an RfC to an user who is accused. As a sysop of this project, I can only tell that we are the only project where a crosswiki conversation and perhaps a solution of such things is possible. If someone is not heard at one project, it´s his right to come to meta, the coordination project and to make a RfC. So please stop this conversation and use your own talk pages. Thanks. --WizardOfOz ^talk 20:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

The problem is, Mbz1 was heard, but ruled against. Many times. And last I checked I'm not a lady, so please take care with your gender specifics in the future, bud. Tarc 21:03, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Tarc is far from being neutral in this. It would be easy to demonstrate that Tarc is quite a wiki-warrior when it comes to trying to indeff editors who are on the 'I' side of the I/P dispute articles, and likewise at defending from blocks all those on the 'P' side. Also Tarc's psychological diagnosis of Mbz1 as having a "psychosis" is so problematic that it might, itself, be considered grounds for a block; because it is merely using psychological terminology to make a personal attack. (As is obvious psychology is a field concerned with healing, and using psychological terminology to rough up a user is deplorable.) Malcolm Schosha 16:04, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the intrusion on your talk page, WizardOfOz. Could, perhaps, this whole discussion could be move to Wikimedia Forum? Malcolm Schosha 17:12, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Prekmurian

Dear WizardOfOZ! The request for the ISO code of Prekmurian is rejected. I have here a request for the Prekmurian Wikipedia. What to do? There is no code, but the Prekmurian language is actively used language in Slovenia and Hungary in the books and Press. The wikimedia will not accept this?

"I strongly suggest that you consult other admins before making blocks of this nature in future, otherwise you may find yourself without tools at all." schrieb Peter Symonds, was (wie er auch im IRC m. E. klargemacht hat) wohl heißen sollte "Vorsicht, wenn du so weiter machst, und mehr Leute denken, deine Aktionen wären falsch, könnte das zu einer Abwahl führen". Sei so gut, hör auf Trijnstel und ignorier diesen Konflikt mit enwiki-Benutzern, die offensichtlich die Meta-Vorgehensweisen noch nicht durchrungen haben. Ich fände es wirklich schade, wenn du auf jetzt Grund dieser überhitzten Diskussion(en) hier aufhören würdest. --MF-W 22:50, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm coming back online after a night sleep and trying to catch up. I am deeply sad to see what seems to have driven you this far. I have not always agreed with you but unlike some idiots who have arrived recently no disagreement has soured any working relationship here.

Your withdrawal was the correct decision, and will go some distance toward rebuilding my trust in you and your reactions. I'm certain it will do the same for other community members as well. Thank you for that. --Philippe (talk) 06:19, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hiya WizardOfOz, I just saw your RfA. I have been busier than usual lately, and missed it completely. I saw that you withdrew it and what others had to say. I just wanted to tell you, you would have had my support, even if it wouldn't have changed the final decision. I know a little more than others concerning what was going on last year, but it doesn't mean that the points others raised are not without merit. It is good that you withdrew yourself, but please don't be disheartened by it. You're a great community member, nothing will change the good work you did. Just give it some time, and let me know the next time you plan on running again, I will be happy to nominate you in a few months. Keep up the good work and have a cookie! ;) Theo10011 (talk) 10:59, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

E moj Wizarde

Pa AnToni je taj koji briše citate jer se ne slažu sa njegovim privatnim političkim uvjerenjima (simpatizerstvo sistema iz doba SFRJ). Citati bi trebalo da imaju svoja pravila, tj. bez obzira o kome se radi od citiranih, uz poštivanje relevantnosti. Ne kontam kako ste svi tako pali pod priču AnTonija, valjda što je birokrata pa ima kod nas u kulturi taj neki osjećaj inferiornosti u odnosu na ljude na funkciji. Elem, kod citata na en wikiquote postoji na većini članaka sekcija “Drugi o njemu”, a ovaj bi da se to obriše. 77.77.216.251 21:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
