Welcome to my talk page! Please be sure to make all posts civil and constructive, as I'll revert anything I deem to be vandalism. Also, let us try to keep two-way conversations readable. If you post to my talk page, I will just reply here. If I posted recently to another talk page, including your talk page, then that means I have it on my watchlist and will just read responses there. I may refactor discussions to your talk page for the same reason. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! My Talk Archives: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened, and is located here. Please add any evidence you may wish the Arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Episodes and characters 2/Evidence. Please submit your evidence within one week, if possible. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Episodes and characters 2/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Daniel (talk) 21:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Daniel, thank you for the note. Have a nice night! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 03:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that the Arbcom Evidence has to be about TTN, not a bunch of unconnected stuff by other users. Also, what does it mean? AnteaterZot (talk) 09:09, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The case concerns episodes and characters. Thus, I provideed a chronological list of discussions in which all of the involved parties of the case discussed evidence and characters. This chronological list provides insight into how long the dispute has been going on for as well as how many users have actually been participants in it. Regards, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The case involves only the mass redirecting campaign of TTN. You are diluting the strength of your argument. AnteaterZot (talk) 22:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NO, TTN is the most obvious example. However, the issues are twofold. One is firming up of notability criteria to reduce interpretation and argument. The other is accounts whose mainspace edits are solely (or practically so) concerned with removal and/or merging of material and discussion of same. We couldn't single out TTN on the basis of this if others are doing the same thing. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand. Arbcom was called against TTN, and TTN only. The "material" which is being removed is garbage. Wikipedia policy is quite clear; the future Wikipedia will not have this unsourced material (but it will probably have different unsourced material). The case against TTN is based on the rapidity of his/her redirects, the style of his edit summaries, and the possibility of losing some encyclopedic information, as disruptive. Any perception of an agenda for retaining unsourced material will weaken your argument that TTN needs to be reined in. AnteaterZot (talk) 23:12, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Erm, no, that's why it's called Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Episodes and characters 2....yes evidence regarding TTN is compelling but it is only the epicentre of a wider issue which needs addressing. Hence the arbcom name. No-one is proposing keeping unsourced material indefinitely, we're all on the same side there. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just got back from seeing Cloverfield. Cool movie! Anyway, the case is not titled "TTN" for a reason. Rather it involves the behavior of multiple editors who have been similarly redirecting and mass nominating for deletion material that we obviously do not have consensus over. The fact that thousands of editors create those articles and work to improve them is proof that we do not have consensus among our contributors. Only a small segment of our community participate in arguing over some of these issues on policy talk pages and in arbitration cases. In fact, we are having quite a lengthy discussion over whether or not the episode guideline really does have consensus and if it should be no longer a guideline or re-written. Calling volunteers' contributions "garbage" insults thousands of good faith editors who devote many hours working to build up a unique encyclopedia and a unique opportunity to catalog as much of human knowledge as possible. As Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, who is to say what the future Wikipedia will resemble, but as for sources, these can come in time and we should give our contributors positive incentive to search for such sources. Just imagine if all this time spent mass nominating articles for deletion with Twinkle or mass redirecting articles that obviously thousands of editors and readers feel pass our standards were spent improving those articles by more constructively adding sources to them! Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 23:20, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for saying "garbage", should have said, "mostly unencyclopedic". AnteaterZot (talk) 03:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's cool. Anyway, I am just increasingly under the impression that what the community believes is and is not "encyclopedic" varies widely due to the nature of Wikipedia not being a paper encyclopedia. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 03:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you see my little essay? AnteaterZot (talk) 03:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet (I'm trying to revise my user page now to indicate the various positive interactions I've had with Wikipedians), but I'll definitely check your essay out shortly. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 03:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aaah unencyclopedic, that lovely word that can mean anything I want it to mean.....well, I read the essay and as I have said before, there's plenty of important stuff to ref out there on important political and social articles that will make more of a difference than the esoteric ones...cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sorry I took so long to respond to your request. Since you said this is for educational purposes, I think it's ok to put this in your userspace, but please request its deletion when you're done with it. --Akhilleus (talk) 16:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!!!  :) Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know welcoming the newbies is a good idea, but you might want to check their contributions before thanking them for them! I know it's a welcome template, but the above's contributions include edit summaries such as "Fuck you! Ur a vandal" and "Damn you, you useless troll", as well as this particular gem to an IP here. 21:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry. I would have had a different template had I noticed that. Regards, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 21:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the problem here? The man was trying to thank me for edits I did. I made them in good faith. The welcoming thing was perfectly suited for me. : ) Yoshaibo (talk) 16:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you perhaps help me with something? I am lookin for a project to join. One that is dedicated to the culture of Iran. You seem like a big user around here; can you perhaps give me some directions? Thanks in advanche, yours sincerely, Ramtashaniku (talk) 19:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'm always happy to help! Anyway, please see here for a listing of Iran based wikiprojects. We have one on Iran, one on Persian Cinema, and one on Persian Literature. Any one of these three would be a good place to start. Best wishes! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 19:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks alot! This is just why I love this site so much; when you have a question and ask it, you get friendly answers immediately! First, I asked Kermanshahi for a trnaslation; he gave me one directly. Then I asked you for a direction and you gave me one even quicker! Such effectiveness! Just amasing. Thanks, Ramtashaniku (talk) 19:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! Best wishes with the projects! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 21:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• 08:49, 16 January 2008: In this edit, Jack Merridew uses such language as "sin" and "Their day will come" when discussing his opponents in this arbitration case. Such religious fanaticism and extreme assumptions of bad faith have NO place on Wikipedia and cannot be tolerated.

  -- posted by you in the TV 2 case evidence

Hi, I just saw this and thought I would let you know that I found it quite amusing and would like to assure you that I was not approaching this from a religious perspective — really, that's not me at all. As to any assumption of bad faith, I was pointing-out that disruption of the sort referred to is blockable. --Jack Merridew 09:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jack, thank you for the note. I do think that "Their day will come" sounds a bit harsh and that we all should instead be thinking of how to compromise and work together. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Diagonal P. (talk) 16:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles, just wanted to comment about your edit to Freddy Newandyke here [1]. Yahoo! Answers isn't a reliable source. Please refer to that link for more information. Hope that helps. Somno (talk) 03:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you for your message. I figured some source was better than no source and that it could be a means of finding additional sources. Anyway, thank you for the link and have a great night! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 03:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, sometimes some source is better than no source; I just have found in my experience that Yahoo! Answers has a whole lot of personal opinions and not much stuff that's reliable! I hope you have a good night too, but it's only lunchtime here where I am. ;) Somno (talk) 03:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's almost 11PM here. Have an enjoyable lunch!  :) Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 03:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you feel the need to link the term Character to it's disambiguation page on the Chris Redfield article? Every word doesn't need to be wikilinks, and linking to disambiguation doesn't help anyone to understand why/what the name/word is linked for!  Doktor  Wilhelm  03:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Because Chris Redfield is a character, i.e. the term that best describes the article's subjects, is why I made the internal link. If you think it would be better to have something like fictional character, that would be cool. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 03:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the word need to be linked anyways? fictional character would be better, but I don't see why, not every fictional character has the term wikilinked, and not ever word need to be wikilinked, I think most people will understand what a character is, and if they don't I'm sure they can find out for themselves?  Doktor  Wilhelm  04:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I don't think it "needs" to be linked, but I do find it helpful for those who see that someone is declared a fictional character in the first sentence to then be able to go to the fictional character article and learn up on it. Please keep in mind that we have an incredibly diverse readership in terms of age and English language ability. Someone familiar with say Resident Evil might come across Chris Redfield's article and see that he's a fictional character and be curious what that is. Rather than copy and paste "character" in the search area, they can just click the link; that's how I navigate a lot, i.e. by clicking internal links and again, we cannot assume that everyone understands what every, seemingly common term means, even if a majority does. Anyway, I'm going to be offline for a bit (eating pizza rolls, watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann , A Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and then visiting my hounds). Have a nice night! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 05:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm being a utter ass! I do actually think that wikilnking fictional character in alot of article might be of help (even if it's formatted as [[fictional character|character]], to avoid the [[character]] disambiguation page), if only to improve the use of non in-universe language through out all articles. Hope you enjoy your pizza rolls, I just think I need to go to bed! Sorry again!  Doktor  Wilhelm  06:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! No biggie and yes I always enjoy the pizza rolls!  :) I hope you had a pleasant sleep! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hello, what did i do incorrectly? 82.109.222.194 (talk) 18:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have just read your post on User talk:Jimbo Wales and you are right. I am unhappy about these mass twinkle deletion rampages that are going on across wikipedia its not pleasant and its causing a lot of problems, I seen people on forums kicking off about certain deletionists and their ways.
