Derek Smart does not own the rights to the freespace franchise. Lordkazan 15:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody actually knows.. it's in limbo Lordkazan 13:14, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No.. put the quote in context - thread title "Freespace License. What if..." - begining of first post "....Derek Smart, yeah, that would be me, got the license from my friends at Interplay" - it was a conditional, one that never ended up taking place Lordkazan 16:59, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Dsmart.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Hi, I've just reverted your edit to Lordkazan's RfC. Please don't edit other user's comments, as it makes it appear in this example as though Addhoc was stating something he didn't. Instead, please feel free to add a comment stating that you believe Supreme cmdr is an SPA. Thanks, Jakew 11:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I am a new user and I was not aware of the above mentioned rule. It will not happen again.220.247.251.172 12:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry - we all make mistakes. By the way, you're not logged in. Jakew 12:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops. Error corrected. Thanks!Kerr avon 13:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning your note on the Derek Smart talk page, the proper place to report this would be WP:RFCU, but at this moment the situation does not look to be escalated enough at this point. There does seem to be a good deal of evidence that the account is a single purpose account (IE a meatpupper/sockpuppet), so a checkuser would be most likely unnecessary (and perhaps declined). Also, I'd like to note that I still believe this is a content dispute as there are perfectly valid concerns concerning the reliability of the given sources and their verifiability, so I wouldn't call this vandalism. There may be POV pushing, but that is a content dispute and not blatant vandalism, so making that distinguishment is important. I'm keeping an eye on the Warhawk user for now (I just blocked them for 24 hours), so I will block for longer if this continues. Thanks :) Cowman109^Talk 00:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your intervention. The sad thing is that this supreme_cmdr does not seem to tolerate anything negative of Smart which is wrong, the man has been a after dinner joke in the gaming industry for decades. Just search for derek smart on google and most of the top links are satires on him. So we must reach a consensus as to what negative points are to be included, or else allow a free for all and just let edit warring go on, eventually supreme_cmdr/Derek Smart will get tired of it and when he withdraws the edit wars will stop, just like the flame wars ended when Smart left the USENET in the late 1990's.

Once again thanks for your intervention regarding this matter.

Kerr avon 05:27, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Listen to me carefully. It seems as if you're on some sort of vendetta against me or something. I don't have time for your bullshit. You have already been warned here by an admin and via email. Yet you continue. If you want war, its war I'll give you and we'll just turn your talk page into a battle ground. Instead of focusing on editing the Wiki, you're focused on engaging me in stupid discussions which have nothing to do with this Wiki and which violate WP:GF. A quick trip to Usenet has given me an indication as to who (the Sri Lanka thing was a dead giveaway) you are. In fact, you are one of the 'primary' proponents of the legacy flamewar against Smart and now you are here doing the same thing. Especially now that you foolishly think that I'm him. Supreme_Cmdr^(talk) 12:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Supreme_Cmdr/Derek, I really have no vendetta against you. You claim not to be Smart, you have vehemently denied that you are Smart, so if there is evidence to suggest that you are Smart, I think it is relevant that others know of it.

What is this "Dead giveaway" you mention with regard to "The sri lanka thing". Please justify your accusations. I had nothing to do with the flame war, and I am indeed surprised that you were notorious enough to be known in my small country.

If you think I am one of the Primary proponents of the flame war, then please tell what my identity is and I will prove you wrong with my credentials, which will show that true to form you make unsubsantiated allegations.

Go ahead and open a RFC against me, you are perfectly within your rights to do so.

Kerr avon 14:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not attempt to uncover the real identies of wikipedia users. It is a violation of our policies and will lead to blocks. Thanks. JBKramer 16:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue to make legal threats, you will be blocked. JBKramer 17:59, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not making legal threats against the wikipedia. I was only mentioning what I would have done against allegations of racism by Supreme_cmdr which are every serious allegation in my part of the world or even in the western world.

Also please stop acting like a child and threatening me with blocking everytime, I am a highly educated doctor and I do not need childish threats of blocking to force me to do something. I am open to discussion or suggestion by anyone and will act according to establsihed guidlines here.

Kerr avon

LMAO!!! You're a what now? Oh, thats right. A "highly educated doctor". Gimme a break. Why should we care who or what you are (assuming your claims are true)? Fact is, ALL of your actions are against WiKi policy and eventually you are going to be blocked if you continue with this foolishness.

As to your being a doctor, you claimed a few days ago that you would post proof and whatnot. We don't care. But if you must, why not spend your time updating your Wiki page with your biography? That - to me - would be time better spent than your focusing your foolish vendetta against me.

Supreme_Cmdr^(talk) 16:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, sorry for the late reply but I was busy at the hospital, and I returned home only now,hence the late reply.

Derek/Supreme_Cmdr, you have made unsubtantiated allegations that I was a majot contributor to the flame war etc. So you obviously know my identity. If that is the case, please do expose my name and then I will post documented evidence as to who I am and everyone can that you have lied and made wrong allegations against me. So go ahead and post my name as you must know it. The moment you post that I will post a copy of my national identity card, my driving license, and a scanned copy of my medical certificate, which will be enough I think. I have called your bluff of you accusing me to be a major contributor to the flame war, and now its upto you to name me and show the genuineness of your claims.

Kerr avon 10:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The policy in question from above would be WP:LEGAL. Also, delving into the personal information about people is also regularly removed by users with oversight privileges, so unless it is relevant to perhaps an arbitration case, it is inappropriate. Cowman109^Talk 18:44, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will agree to your judgement with respect. I must admit that I was trying hard to prove a link between Smart and Supreme_Cmdr as the SPA has been repeatedly vandalising the Smart page and vehemently denying that he his Smart. I am a law abiding citizen and will always comply with guidlines. So that brings this matter to a close.Kerr avon 23:35, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody asked you. And if you know what vandalism is, you wouldn't make such obviously unaccurate and foolish accusations. Get a grip.

Supreme_Cmdr^(talk) 16:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it foolish to think that you (Supreme_Cmdr) is derek Smart when you both have the same arrogant,intolerant,self centered wildly accusing behaviour?Kerr avon 10:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There you go again. Have you ever heard of WP:GF and WP:CIVIL?? Do you see me accusing you of being Lordkazan when in fact both of you have the same arrogant, intolerant, self-centered and wildly accusing behavior?Supreme_Cmdr^(talk) 13:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The RFC I filed was very clear that the community believed you had a problem with remaining civil. Your most recent comment, [1] (second section) was wholey innapropriate. Personal attacks are unnaceptable. Do not make them. JBKramer 11:36, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been unable to locate this RFc. Got link? Thanks. Supreme_Cmdr^(talk) 11:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My friend first of all why dont you accuse supreme_cmdr too of making personal attacks, as he has done above too against me. He has laughed at my cliams to be a doctor, called me a fool, called me a racist, arent those personal attacks. I was unaware of a RFC being filed against me as I was busy in the hospital, our country is in the midst of a terrorist war, and there was a suicide attack against unarmed soldiers returning home which killed 90 of them and left countless wounded, hence most of the docs are busy.I will do my best to answer it now.Kerr avon 11:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am unable to find such a RFC, you are perfectly within your rights to open a RFC against me. If so I would be obliged if you can post the link so I can answer it. Kerr avon 11:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, confused you and Lord Kazzan. NPA applies to you as well. JBKramer 12:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. As per your suggestion, I agree that I will avoid any personal attacks against the SPA suprem_cmdr despite whatever provocation he tries. However I reserve the right to defend my self (in a civil manner of course )against the claims he makes in the RFC that he is going to file below.Kerr avon 12:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to open an RFc against him right now. Supreme_Cmdr^(talk) 12:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are perfectly within your rights to open one, and I will do my best to respond to it. However I will be leaving tomorrow for hospital duty for three days and I will try my best to respond before that, however once I am gone I will most probably be able to reply only on friday evening as I am on duty continously.Kerr avon 14:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

nope! Lordkazan 14:01, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yippee i found another patriot!!! Welcome to the club bro :-)  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  ^(Ŧ) 17:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks my friend. I am for a balanced NPOV regarding LTTE and other articles. THe eelam lobby has been very active on wikipedia, with a lot of uncited unsourced and potentially libellous information in the said articles. Just look at the state of the Vellupillai Prabhakaran artcile, it looks like a PR man hired by him wrote it. When one goes through the Lalith Athulathmudali article edits [[2]], unsubstantiated and potentially libellous allegations were inserted and maintained. I am for a balanced view on the above subjects, with 100% cited information, not from hardline sites of either side, but from neutral verifiable sources. Strict policing by admins would also probably be needed as these are controversial articles.Kerr avon 00:02, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Sri Lankan civil war, you removed see here from the causes of the civil war sharp differences over University admissions. Now it is a past and historical fact. See article Policy_of_standardization, it is a stub. You can add it to it if you want. It is true there is no perceived sharp differences over admissions to universities now but it is a fact like the world is flat that the perceived differences in the 1970’s was one fact that lead to the formation of Tamil militant groups. By removing a such a well known fact amongst historians, journalists and any researchers about Sri Lanka you would have weakened a Wikipedia article because it no longer is credible. About your edits to Black July I have opened a discussion page on them on the talk page. Thanks RaveenS 15:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you can site a reliable unbiased source (surely there must be many) showing that there was such discrimination then indeed, I would be more than willing to acknowledge your point.Kerr avon 07:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By 1977 the issue of university admissions had become a focal point of the conflict between the government and Tamil leaders. Tamil youth, embittered by what they considered discrimination against them, formed the radical wing of the Tamil United Liberation Front. Many advocated the use of violence to establish a separate Tamil state of Eelam. It was an object lesson of how inept policy measures and insensitivity to minority interests can exacerbate ethnic tensions.(A.Jayaratnam Wilson, The Break up of Sri Lanka, C.Hurst & Company, London, Orient Longman Limited, 1988)May be you could also jump in and add content about Sri Lanka. We have a lot of stubs and many talented individual editors just editing and reediting just a few handful politically charged articles when the overall content is minimal or non existant.RaveenS 21:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Campaignbox State terrorism in Sri Lanka [3]  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  ^(Ŧ) 02:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dr, you and I've had differences of opinion on the TFD. As a newbie I can tell you AFD, TFD and CFD brings the worst in people in Wikipedia. Anyway all what I want to say is let us respect each other for who we are and I have a lot os respect for doctors. You simply cant be a racist after being a doctor so I dont consider you one. I started the Assassinations attributed to the LTTE page another Tamil Tyronen started the Notable attacks attributed to the LTTE page. I've created and edited number of pages of dead Tamils allegedly killed by the LTTE such as Relangi Selvarajah, Chelvi, Kethesh, Neelan..... etc. All what I am saying is dead SL Tamils [or globaly speaking dead civilians] drive me to write about them whether they were killed by the GoSL or the LTTE, I dont have a POV on that. Unfortunately I have a lot of pages to create because of this stupid war.I hope you and I can work together constructively in the future. Thanks RaveenS

Comment Thanks for pointing out the re direct, I copied and pasted from User Sudharsan hence the left over redirect. I fixed it now.

I also wanted to say it was a real pleasure to have debated with you. While we didn't agree on each others viewpoints', what we do have in agreement I hope is something net positive for the future of the island, something that is sustainable. It must at times be extremely difficult in these hospitals during the times of major activity. It takes a lot of courage to be in that position. Many of these issues are not simply black and white and perhaps require patience on the part of all of us. Cheers, Elalan 02:16, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

don't laugh your balls off~

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article BlueZ, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:BlueZ. You may remove the {{dated prod}} template, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hey sorry I couldn't reply sooner but I've got finals these days and I'm a little busy. Don't know if you know already but the deletion of Terrorist_attacks_attributed_to_the_LTTE was overturned and the article is relisted for AFD. You might want to look at that. --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 17:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just finnished it, take a look. It could have section such as the International reactions and the Prison revolt that happened because of his death. I might do it later on RaveenS 19:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

A request for arbitration has been filed on the article Derek Smart, which you have been involved with in some manner. If you would like to contribute to the request, or subsequent case if accepted, please visit WP:RFAR. ⇒ SWATJester ^{On Belay!} 03:38, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
