Before leaving a comment

Before leaving a comment realize I will remove any pointless, childish, or silly accusations made against myself, or other editors. This page is not a place to stroke your ego, point fingers, or extend your battleground to. Examples of items that will be removed are:

  1. Comments the summarize to the basis the world revolves around you. I do not have time to listen to other editors stroking their ego, insisting I participate in this project just for them. You are not the sun, stop acting like you are even important.
  2. Accusations you do not even care to defend, such as with difs. Baseless accusations of me killing your cat or deflating your tires will obviously be removed.
  3. Accusations of sockpuppetry. Feel free to file RFCU after RFCU. I am not a prior edit, oddly I was drawn here by an article in the newspaper regarding the screwed up situation here. Who would have thought it was worse then described. For those who honestly think wiki-markup is difficult, most people who have any training in coding get the ''' for bolding and *gasps* <ref> for citing references. Especially since they are included in every article on here.
  4. SPA accusations. My interest is in Latin America History, as such much of my contributions will be on topics related to Cuba and Colombia as well as the atrocities that occured there. It is called being focused.
  5. Any and all attacks, again, be a child in your living room or an AOL chat, neither of which is here.

If you have something useful to contribute feel free to post, if not, there is always the village pump.

Single Purpose Account? Probably Not

SixOfDiamonds, I don't think you are a sockpuppet. But I don't think it's appropriate for you to remove the {{subst spa}} tags from your comments in the U.S. state terrorism AfD. The quality of your contributions is enough to convince others of your good faith. Clconway 14:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reassurance. I guess I will leave them if its going to cause an issue, however they seem designed to diminish my contributions to those discussions. --SixOfDiamonds 15:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiquette

Hi there SixOfDiamonds. I understand that you post under the IP address 74.73.16.230 sometimes. To avoid any allegation of impropriety, would it be possible to sign your posts as SixOf Diamonds even when not logged on? This would be especially useful when taking part in debates under both identities. Thanks a lot, --John 00:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How would I go about that in automated fashion? When I hit the tilde's it just puts the IP. --74.73.16.230 10:08, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think you'd need to type in [[User:SixOfDiamonds|SixOfDiamonds]] each time. --John 14:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mongo's Arbcom in progress

You may be interested in this: User:MONGO/arbcom ... Seabhcan (Here we go again!) 13:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like an attack page to me. I will give it a month, if it is not gone by then, or he has not started an arbcom then I will ask it deleted as an attack page as he isn't acting on it. Seems he didn't care to add the apology I gave to Tom either, as I did not know Tom took it offensively, nor that admins can edit pages. Kinda of disingenuous --SixOfDiamonds 14:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mongo seems to want to keep it secret, though. So, shooosh! [13] ... Seabhcan (Here we go again!) 14:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Removal_of_comments_on_article_talk_page Remember, us Time wasters, POV pushers, trolls...need to be shown the door Travb (talk) 15:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really do not understand what allows one person to insult another in this situation, especially over the internet. It must take someone with alot of arrogance to assume the motives of others. I was harped on and called a SPA, even after explaining I simply found that debate first. If people were not so quick to assume the worst of others here, which oddly is directly in conflict with Wikipedia own policy, perhaps others would be more productive. The irony is that no apology has been offered by MONGO for the labels he attempts to stick on me, even after I have gone on to make 5 articles in the little time I have been here. --SevenOfDiamonds 20:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hi Seven! Nice to have a new "face" contributing bird articles! There are certainly lots of spectacular ones in both Cuba and Colombia, which could conceivably keep you busy for a very long time. :) Please consider joining us at WP:Bird—we're a friendly bunch!

Troll template

Please remove the troll template at the top of your talk page, it comes across as agressive nad wikipedia is a cooperative project. Thanks in advance. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 10:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK I've asled MONGO too, so please remove yours now. Cheers! Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 10:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Luis Hernando Gomez

Hi SevenOfDiamonds. You are off to such a great start on the article Luis Hernando Gomez that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee (Talk) 21:01, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you but I have no clue what I would write. He was a successful cocaine smuggler, his exploits and achievements are nothing to promote on the main page. --SevenOfDiamonds 17:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of trolling and harassment

I just put this message about trolling and harassment on the administrators noticeboard. Link Bmedley Sutler 04:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I left a note, I think everyones behavior needs to be looked at, and I posed a question regarding the end run around AfD situation. --SevenOfDiamonds 17:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Email

Hi. Do you have an e-mail address? I note that one is not set up here for you, and sometimes communicating by e-mail can be of benefit. Thanks.Giovanni33 18:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Will have one setup by end of day for Wikipedia use. --SevenOfDiamonds 15:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

warning blanking

I answered your query at WP:ANI, but here's the relevant link WP:TALK#User_talk_pages. Removal of warnings indicates the the recipient has received and read it. Flyguy649 talk contribs 16:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I may have misinterpreted your comment there. Carry on! Flyguy649 talk contribs 18:06, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So permitted or not? I am confused now. --SevenOfDiamonds 18:08, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, users can remove their warnings. They are always in the talk page history. This is one reason why I always leave an edit summary when I leave a warning (like v2 for vandalism2, e.g.), like here. That way if the person deletes, it's easy to see. I usually check the user's Contribs before warning, and if they look like they should have been given other warnings then I check the talk page history. I used to warn vandals for blanking warnings, then I found out about the policy (I don't recall whether it was in a thread or by reading policies). It usually becomes moot because the ones who are removing their warnings immediately are often the ones that end up continuing doing the very things that are setting them on the path toward a block. Anyway, I hope you're less confused now. My second comment came from going back to the original ANI thread, btw. I was obviously a bit confused, too! Flyguy649 talk contribs 18:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have cleared that up nicely, thank you, and thank you for taking the time to do so. --SevenOfDiamonds 19:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

quoting policy

No, the policy is about reliable sourcing. That material isn't reliably sourced yet. Please don't make that error again. Jayjg (talk) 03:04, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um no I quoted it for you. --SevenOfDiamonds 10:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'RFC' on Ultramarine?

I am thinking that the only solution is an 'RFC' on Ultrmarine. His questions have all been answered and he asks them again and again. He is arguing in circles and making nonsense objections to the smallest things. He is using 'tendentious' arguing. He usually picks a non-important source as his link and name for objections. Like only 'The Nation Magazine' objected to The Torture Manuals. Trying to 'reason' with him does nothing. He is trying to 'owning' the articles by writing his own version and saying that his is the version we will use without objections. I have gotten some changes in but even the smallest true change he wants to argue and argue about. This is not how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Do you know how to file an RFC on him? Should we ask for 'mediation' too? Thanks Bmedley Sutler 19:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should seek some other form of mediation. I highly doubt Ultramarine doe snot know he is skewing policy since he has been here for over 2 years it seems. But I think we should try to resolve issues possibly with a 3rd party mediator first. --SevenOfDiamonds 01:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks

Thanks for your nice and polite message, but there is no need at all to apologise. You did the edit with the intention to help me in case I had made a mistake, as could easily be assumed, and I appreciate the thought! JdeJ 18:06, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The atmosphere is a bit hostile, I did not want my actions to be mistaken as anything other then an attempt to help. --SevenOfDiamonds 18:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Is this stalking of userpages by MONGO a habit? Is it just reserved for those on the other side of disputes? VanTucky (talk) 18:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those on the other side of the dispute, I have had him appear here numerous times, lucky my userpage is pretty much blank or I may have to deal with similar frivolous complaints. He has actually stated on AN/I that I create articles on Wikipedia to harass him. I have gone through 4 RFCU's so far as well due to his accusations. Its quite sad when you think about it, I have often attempted to just debate the topic, but this "Wiki-bully" behavior kicks in. Surprised your page was not spammed with Wiki policy acronyms. --SevenOfDiamonds 18:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crockspot's RFA

Thank you for coming to my defense. Cheers, ➪HiDrNick! 06:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome. I really did not get the point of tagging established editors. I do not agree with the practice of tagging anyone, especially when it was done only to one side, the oppose votes. --SevenOfDiamonds 11:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply

Sure, but you can get fancier and say "municipal government" as well. ➪HiDrNick! 23:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accused of being this person. 217.160.125.86 22:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No surprise, another accusation. The similarities are going to work at the same times as over 3 million other people and leaving it at 5PM ... rush hour. I see MONGO will not even goto checkuser anymore. No surprise there. --SevenOfDiamonds 23:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
