Jamesmh2006

I welcomed him and answered his questions on his talk page. Take a look at the history on his talk page and his contribs. He claims he wants to use VP and counter vandalism yet his account is used for some vandalism (warnings on his talk page are being reverted). He claims in one of his edit comments that 'a family member' is doing the vandalism (from his account?). Not sure what to make of this. I try to AGF and not to bite when dealing with him but I'm not totally convinced he means no harm.Netkinetic(t/c/@) 00:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Lightning

[1] this is what you put back. Brian Boru is awesome 00:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The anon user has a history of edits like this, this, and this. As over a long period of time he has added vandalism referring to a certiain "Kyle" it is a safe bet it is the same user. What he added to lightening [2] was a basic nonsense edit. IrishGuy ^talk 23:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the additional information IrishGuy. I'm unsure why this has become Brian Boru's concern...I've explained the justification for the revert...the anon needs to simply add in the edit summary the reason for removing information from an article. The content wasn't obvious and there is not limitless time to research an anon's or editor's track record. Summarily removing information without an edit summary simply isn't recommended. Netkinetic(t/c/@) 19:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. At bare minimum, the anon could have simply written rvv. I don't know why this has become a bigger issue than it needs to be. Hopefully it is over now and nobody will hold bad feelings towards others. IrishGuy ^talk 19:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Reticular formation

You recently reverted an edit made on the page Reticular formation by an anonymous user. Did you read the edit, or did you simply revert it because it was by an anonymous user? Niubrad 08:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Shameless (disambiguation)

I wasn't done with it yet when you flagged it for deletion. -Mike Payne 16:04, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

• From my talk page: "Mike, I've removed the tag as you've added a second link to an established Wikipedia page. However, if I may suggest, creating the link to a non-existent page Shameless (HBO special) isn't advised. Regards. Netkinetic(t/c/@) 16:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)"
  • The link was to an HBO special performed by Louis C.K. but I really know nothing about it.

Counterparts Situation

Thanks for the kind words; for me, it not only served no pleasure, it also seemed a little excessive. I could understand the debate over the Earth-S and Earth-X entries in the grids, but Earths-One, -Two, and -Three were much more definitive - if anything, I was expecting the removal of -S & -X, and probably the Earth-Three entries that only ever appeared in the modern era's Anti-Matter Earth (they were already there - I just added the disclaimer), not the removal of the entire page.

The link you sent was interesting. The comparisons made there were definitely function-comparisons, though far more broad (aside from the standard JLA/JSA ones) than the ones I was trying to show (mine generally co-existed in the same time period - even allowing for the generational gap between Earth-Two and Earth-One - even when being published by competing companies, for starters), but I could see the comparisons being made were even more functional like, "youthful female with wings on a team," or "the fire-based member of a team," etc., that required using characters from different time-periods as well.

Just out of curiosity, why is there no allowance made for a 'reasonable inference?' Not that I'm trying to re-argue the debate on this particular entry, but it didn't seem to me that what I was putting forth was exactly outlandish. Maybe it's just a matter of changing the term 'original research' (which implies a deliberative searching for information to back-up a theory) to 'original conclusions' or 'personal observations' (which probably better describes someone like me, who was simply trying to show what I came to conclude after reading comics for enjoyment purposes for over 30 years, with the evidence being, primarily, those same comics).

But, that's all water under the bridge now. I can only content myself with knowing that I'm right, even if I can't demonstrate it to Wikipedia standards. Thanks again for the support. Starmiter 01:17, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

And to clarify, the 'External Links' area for Multiverse (DC Comics) cannot have a link to the same info on a non-Wikipedia page, even if it could be presented with a disclaimer like, "An intriguing interpretation of the pre-Crisis DC Multiverse may be found here" kind of thing? And as for the removal of the Earth-One info from the Earth-Two chart, I had based it mainly on the fact the Flash entry mentioned both versions, and so the remaining entries seemed incomplete by comparison - just thought people would've liked "cliff-note" info-blurbs for comparison purposes without having to read each and every entry, which is rather time-consuming. I have no intention of formally opposing their removal because, frankly, it would be too much effort, and my track-record is already 0-for-2 (and this is on subject matter that I considered myself an expert on), so I'm going to be more careful about when to pick my battles. Thanks. Starmiter 01:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I know it's probably too little, too late for the multiverse grid page, but I recently came across this site: http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/doveside/412/page4.html that goes even further than the comparisons I was trying to show. The part of this set of comparisons I found intriguing were the Earth-One/Earth-Two/Earth-Shazam match-ups (though I don't agree with Capt. Marvel, Jr., being linked with the Flash - more closely to Superboy who, like Supergirl, was introduced well after the Fawcett character). Also, I've been corresponding with Roy Thomas about the topic, and he recalls prior issues of Alter-Ego discussing the topics as well, though he is uncertain of the exact issues and cannot devote the time to research them. I'll still be digging through the back issues when I can get access to them, so perhaps I'll find enough to be able to re-introduce the grid and have it be kept this time (the irony here, of course, is that it's going to require a lot of 'original research time' to track down the back-up, which is why I think the term is a misnomer on the standards of 'no original research' and that 'original conclusions' would be a better term for the policy - I'm sure this distinction was probably debated ad infinitum back in the day, though). Anyway, just thought I'd share the info. Thanks. Starmiter 02:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Re User:131.183.238.102

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. User has not vandalized since final warning. fishhead64 06:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Requesting suggestion relating to Huntress (Helena Wayne)

Jc37,

I've come to highly respect your opinion. You have shown support towards me quite often even in the face of adversity and also given me some frank reminders when necessary. I'm attempting to broker a different path towards communication with fellow editors and have diverted my energy towards other projects such as combatting of vandalism. There is a particular article, Huntress (Helena Wayne) that I believe objectively meets criteria similiar to Huntress (Helena Bertinelli) and Paula Brooks. All of these articles were split from the Huntress (comics) main article in October of 2006 or thereabouts, and all were allowed to exist and develop further for a few months. Following my insistence on a particular related article, the Wayne article was included and summarily changed to a redirect page based on WP:FICTION. Yet this same criteria is not applied to the above two articles. I find this incredulous while at the same moment wondering if the article would not have been contested had I not been connected to it. If so I regret my involvement. Mention has been made that there was a consensus, yet only two editors changed the article to a redirect (Steve Block and Lesfer) while others seem to be on the fence without a definitive stand. I would ask for direction from yourself as to how to proceed with the community towards reconsidering this article. It will be intrepreted as WP:OWN on my part as having created it. Truthfully, the entire PH along with picture and other contents could be changed at this point by others and I wouldn't object. However, I cannot reconcile an application of WP:FICTION in one article's case yet not in comparable articles. At this point in the project, I cannot expect to build consensus and I understand this is personal. However, I feel a principal is involved greater than one editor. Regards. Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 01:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Please see User talk:Lesfer#Helena Wayne for further information. I've asked him to discuss on the article's talk page. I ask you to not comment at the user's talk page, in the hopes of keeping the discussion united in one place (Talk:Huntress (comics)). I hope this helps. - jc37 05:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reference to that talk page consideration, Jc37. I'm unsure if anything I say will be accepted in a manner that will solicit a positive response. It is apparent a few simply have no interest in dialogue beyond finger pointing. Of course I may be wrong. Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 20:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Vandal

You sent me a message about my deletion being inappropriate. Perhaps I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia editing rules but I gave an explanation of why the section should be deleted on the "Left-wing politics" talk page under the subsection "Accuracy Dispute - Huge problems with the political violence section." A previous user commented in January 2007 about how the section is factually inaccurate and tagged it as such. It is now May 2007 and no one as responded to the original objections. Since I believe that content of the section (though not the section itself) to be egregiously misleading and poorly written I went on to delete it. -df 12 May 2007.

Groupthink

By their very nature, I think all WikiProjects lend themselves to groupthink. It's an occupational hazard, one might say. Interestingly, in my early days as a member of WikiProject Comics, I frequently found myself on the losing side of arguements, directly in conflict with some of the longer-established project members whom I respected. These days, I find the opposite is true. I guess I must have drank the Kool-Aid somewhere along the line. ;) --GentlemanGhost 04:17, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Editing something doesn't equal obsessive-compulsive. As the pros say, writing is rewriting. I just don't use the preview feature much.

Re: My Edit

The statement that currently exists is presented as fact by the author. It has always been in dispute and that's what I was referencing. However, I'm waaaaaaaay too tired and disinterested in rounding up the membership and then sourcing the refutation. Let him have the historical conceit. Those of us who were there will continue to question the veracity.

Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes)

Crosses, yes, but crucifixes? I was under the impression that use of the cross with the Christ figure on it was much more limited, and that the only group regularly using it which would be appropriate for Jaime's region and ethnicity would be Catholic, as I understand it. Lucky number 49 05:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe there are some Protestant denominations of a more recent derrivage that also use crucifixes, but I'll check it out. Still, although it is logicaly Reye's is Catholic due to several biographical factors, until explicitly stated it is original research which is a no-no.Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 05:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Just 2¢ or so... (Looking out of curiosity over the header)

There is a short article at Crucifix that covers denominations that use them over plain crosses.

That being said, it sounds like a drawn conclusion that the Reyes are Catholic based on "religious wall decoration"+"ethnicity"+"setting". In that light it may be better to put off including the item until there is an explicit statement about the family's faith.

All the best

I'm not sure what you are referring to, but as long as you believe you are working to the betterment of the encyclopedia, and as long as you don't edit war and are prepared to accept you are wrong and to discuss issues, then ignoring all rules is a useful policy. I may be misunderstanding your message, but it is not a blank cheque to act as you will. I think perhaps you misread my whole comment to Tenebrae, which noted that the manual of style is at conflict with the comics exemplars, and in fact supercedes it. This allows the invocation of Wikipedia:Ignore all rules. I'm glad to see you still find my contributions amusing and follow them with such zeal. The most amusing thing for me is that I actually liked your Earth two article and recall asking you to concentrate your arguments on the merits of the article, rather than the wiki-lawyering to which you descended and which failed to help your cause. Maybe in the future you'll bear that in mind and concentrate on what improves articles to our featured article status rather than the ins and outs of policies. Best wishes, Steve block Talk 10:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

End of Evangelion

I hope you've seen the series and remember what happened, otherwise I am just wasting my time. During the original last two episodes, many assertions were made, such as that human personalities complement each other, each mind is only a small part of the possiblities, the implication that by others we can grow and learn. Then the rest of the episodes consisted of lots of bouncing of ideas off the different personalities, exploration of why they thought what they thought, the scenarios that Shinji was put thru, and finally his realization that his self-esteem was the main thing keeping him from forming proper relationships. The beginning of episode 26 describes how it shows the effect of the Instrumentality project on ONE INDIVIDUAL ONLY, because of time. The implication is that everyone else is going thru the same process. There is absolutely no reason to believe that Shinji's evolution is unique to himself; it has a kind of inevitability, as evidenced by Asuka's (or the Asuka-replica who is in his mind, at the very least) disgust at how long it takes him to realize what he finally realizes. If the Project failed, it failed by design.

But eh, what do I care if the Wikipedia articles on NGE are contradicting and misleading. I won't change it back, don't worry. 74.61.41.118 06:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Netkinetic. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --Cheeser1 (talk) 02:52, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Netkinetic. I completely agree and glad that you support his inclusion. Thanks! --CmdrClow (talk) 05:48, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced warning?

here. Enviroboy^Talk_Cs 06:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm unsure why he removed that content. We'll help him further with future edits. Thanks! Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 06:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

accusations of vandalism

I answered a comment on a talk page and you removed my answer. It was a serious answer and my use of mild 'language' does not negate the validity and potential helpfulness of my comment informing readers that the graph in question was using a logarithmic scale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.245.199 (talk) 06:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Well if you don't provide me your user name (or number, as the case may be) and you don't provide a link to the page...well mind-reading is not presently in my skillset. Regards!Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 06:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: User talk:205.250.70.250

The joke is getting old. Humor is great sometimes, but Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia. It is time to straighten up and make serious contributions. Netkinetic (t/c/@) 06:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

You're bitching that I made an edit and retracted it a minute later? Get a life, lone star.

Wikipedia can try to be a serious encyclopedia all it likes. Considering I haven't signed up or made any agreement with what my contribution will be, I will edit any way I please. Don't like it? Ban me. Don't like that I'll have a new one in five minutes? Ban my ISP or set up some account creation. Won't do all of that? Then shut up, as wikipedia will not be taken seriously academically until these changes occur.

re: LexCorp

Not that I disagree... but...

Iron Man (comics)

War Machine

Batman

Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)

It seems to be a standing practice if the character owns it, or works for it in costume.

- J Greb (talk) 04:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

To be honest, I can see it for suppoting charicters like Perry White, Lucius Fox, or JJJ. But it is just too big a stretch when applied to main charicters, and the same goes for "Executive branch of the United States". - J Greb (talk) 04:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

The Blackest Night

Hey, I'm looking for people to help me out with the creation of this article, care to lend a hand? --CmdrClow (talk) 09:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Brian Boru is awesome

Thanks for backing me up there. Though he usually edits in good faith, I don't really like the behaviour of this editor and some of the things he says. Particularly, on several occasions, I've asked him to leave an edit summary when he reverts a good faith edit with WP:UNDO yet he fails to do this completely. I have watchlisted this user. What you think he should improve on? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Indeed. I trust you have already watchlisted this editor? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Can We Talk

I've recently encountered someone who you have had some problems with. Would like to speak with you about it, is that possible?BGMNYC (talk) 00:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Well...hmmmm...if it is a problem with the admin who blocked you, or the editors who suspected and had confirmed that you are a sockpuppeteer...then no...haven't had the "some" problems with. Buh buy.Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 02:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

He's not stalking - Paranoia of one editor who enjoys blanking out comments on his talk page rather than address them

Cheeser1, would you please cool down and give Netkinetic a break? --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 05:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

If you are not familiar with the situation (and you are decidedly not), butt out. Jumping into a thread for no reason to rag on me with someone who harasses and stalks me is not doing you, me, or even him any good. --Cheeser1 (talk) 05:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Good luck, Netkinetic. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 05:13, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks LegitimateAndEvenCompelling. Since he persists in vandalizing my page I'm removing his slanderous comments above. Hopefully he'll bother someone else from here on out.Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 14:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Brian Boru

Why is he reverting your messages? Please reply below, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 20:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

They're the wrong user. Brian Boru is awesome (talk) 20:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

More specifically, Mr. Boru has a serious case of following editors he doesn't like around.Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 06:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

VP

Hey there, I'm not sure if you noticed, but when you reverted a vandal's edit here, it says you reverted my edit, but it was the vandal's edit that was reverted. I'm thinking you're running a version of VP that is 1.36 or lower. Might want to update? DiverseMentality (talk) 07:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Reverts on my discussion page?

Hi Netkinetic,

I am not sure what the warning was about but it has been twice reverted by 'Brian Boru is awesome'. I am just trying to find out what is going on. I am fairly new at this. I sent you an email via the Email This User option in the Toolbox.

Edit revert reason pointed to wrong edit

Your 03:23, April 6, 2008 revert to Mitchell gives the wrong edit as being reverted. Not a major issue since the right edit was reverted. Just mentioning it in case the revert tool you are using is not functioning properly. VMS Mosaic (talk) 19:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed someone else also mentioned a similar revert problem on your talk page today. VMS Mosaic (talk) 19:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

It is and I have mentioned it at the VP website while awaiting a response. Suffice it to say, the vandalism on the page in question was reverted and I've since manually informed each vandal with a warning rather than using VP. Whether or not it says "reverted edit of [fill in the name]" is determined by the VP interface, not by myself.Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 20:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Earth-Two

Hello,

I have recently updated the Earth-Two article with information form the upcoming JSA Annual #1 by Geoff Johns. I am attempting to upload the image from the articles and I was wondering if you could help me.

The article is located at:

http://www.comicbloc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63414

Any help or guidance you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

JeffCapo (talk) 04:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

First Jeff, you have to determine if that is a fair use image prior to uploading as Wikipedia has policies on this. I'd recommend you contact editor J Greb who is more experienced in such matters. Regards.Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 04:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

My RFA has closed

My RFA that you weighed in on earlier has closed as no consensus to promote, at a final tally of 120/47/13. I thank you for your feedback and comments there, and I'm going to be considering all the various advice and comments presented. I might end up at RFA again some day, or not. If you see me there again in the future, perhaps you might consider a Support !vote. If not, not, and no hard feelings. The pen is still mightier than the mop! See you around, and thanks again.

Warning issues

I've been posting warnings after your comments, but they are also included in the box, like User talk:74.230.134.150. Even if I hit "new section" at top, it still happens. Can this be fixed? Spencer^T♦C 01:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Nope your best bet would be to contact the admin behind VP.Netkinetic ^(t/c/@) 03:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Sure. Spencer^T♦C 10:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Alan Scott

Sorry to bother you, but I read you comment on the talk page and was a little confused. You clearly state Opposed which would not be in support to move the page to GL (Alan Scott), but your position seems to be that he is known predominantly as GL, which seems to be in support of the move. I just wanted to clarify. Thanks! -Sharp962 (talk) 15:49, 3 July 2009 (UTC).

Non-free rationale for File:Nomsportsmaster.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Nomsportsmaster.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:24, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
