User talk:Premeditated Chaos/Archive 3

Archive One and Archive Two.

I tend to reply on your talk page, not my own. If you'd rather just talk here, make note of that in your post. Feel free to comment or ask about anything. (Just, make headings when you start a new conversation, if you would be so kind)

Mweh

It's late, I'm tired, I'm so stuffed with caffeine I can stay awake all the way through to christmas and you have a blank talk page. The first three I can't change. The last one I just did. ^_^ Moo to you! And reply in here please, by the time I get to your talk page to write a response, I usually get distracted again by som- ... Oh, look at that pretty birdy! :: DarkLordSeth 03:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, dude, how's it going? Yeah, my talk page was all narsty and overgrown so I pruned it...lol...even though I'm never on anymore. [[User:Premeditated Chaos|User:Premeditated Chaos/Sig]] 07:40, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Things have been peachy here, how about yourself? Been ages since we talked but I guess you're still on your slightly-enforced break from WikiPedia. And yeah, it was messy in the end. I'll clean up things for you when things become chaotic in here, next time. :) :: DarkLordSeth 17:33, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Eeeeyeah...it sucks because I'll be on looking for info for like a school project or whatever and I'll see some glaring typo or error and I can't fix it. Drives me batty, I tell you. Other than that I'm good. [[User:Premeditated Chaos|User:Premeditated Chaos/Sig]] 19:45, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

What do you mean with 'Can't fix it'? Just hit the edit button and fix the typo? :P :: DarkLordSeth 16:09, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Parentally enforced wiki-vacation. They check the history. They're creepy that way. Apparently the Wiki stops me concentrating on my schoolwork (which it does but that's entirely aside the point...) [[User:Premeditated Chaos|User:Premeditated Chaos/Sig]] 22:24, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I heard about stuff like that before. Parents installing keyloggers and reading up IM logs and all that. Seems some people are way too concerned and wonky these days... Besides, didn't you just have summer holidays over there in Canadia, eh? I dunno what your parents are so concerned aboot with you Wikipediaing ( Is that even a word? ) during your own holidays... :: DarkLordSeth 00:03, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah...they're a touch weird. But I can get on sometimes when they're not in, so that's okay. [[User:Premeditated Chaos|User:Premeditated Chaos/Sig]] 19:25, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

By the way, where can I report abusive users? Some asshat got his panties in a bunch after disagreeing with me and I can't say he was quite civil about it. Instead of redirecting some offensive articles to his user page, I decided to forgo vigilante justice and just report this to the nearest admin that I know; You. :) :: DarkLordSeth 11:39, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see...you added a bit to Lineage II about private servers, he NPOV-tagged it, you disagreed and took it off, and now he's reacting in a rather uncivil manner. Is that a fairly accurate summary? For now, instead of reporting him I'd try to follow dispute policy and talk it out with him nicely. Try to refrain from calling him names, and ask him to do the same. Explain your point (about how you think it is NPOV), and ask him to explain why he thinks it isn't. Get him to be as specific as possible, and try to be the same if he asks you for anything. See if he can add the opposing point of view to the article without removing or seriously altering what's already there. (After all, if he thinks it's biased, he ought to be able to provide an opposing view to fill in.) If he can't have the discussion without resorting to insults and general crankiness, try mediation. I'll keep an eye on the discussion, but, as your friend, I'm going to stay out as much as I can so it doesn't look like favoritism.

Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/ChaosGallantmon Crimson Mode

Hey there PMC. I'm closing out old VfDs and this one perplexed me a bit. I wouldn't know a Digimon from an Almond Joy, so I'm deferring to you. The nominator in this case had a trivial number of edits, so I can't in all good faith count his nom as a vote to delete, leaving the total at 1 delete vote to zero keep votes. If you think this article is bogus, VfD it again, will you? I don't want patently false information on the EnWiki, but it'd be a conflict of interest for me to get involved further with it.

Wikimania 2006

In the course of informal discussions at Wikimania in Frankfurt the possibility of having Wikimania 2006 in Vancouver was raised. What makes Canada desirable for such a meeting is the capacity to draw delegates from the United States. For many overseas delegates, however, U.S. visa requirements make that country less attractive. All else being equal, Europeans see Vancouver as a more interesting Canadian city to visit than Toronto, the only other Canadian city to receive significant consideration.

Preliminary bids from various cities need to be made by Sept. 30, 2005. A short list will be drawn from those bids. Is there enough interest and energy to put together such a conference in Vancouver for August 2006? The people in Frankfurt put on a tremendous gathering, with a core organizational group of about a dozen people. Some 400 people attended from 52 different countries.

I expect that a North American Wikimania could be a little smaller, but we would still need a suitable facility. It would be good to know that such a facility is available for a conference; the type of youth hostel facility that was used in Frankfurt does not exist in North America. What would be the cost of hosting such a conference at UBC?

I'm looking for interest and commitment. To that end I am proposing a Vancouver meetup for Saturday, Sept. 24. If someone has a reasonably accesible place for such a meeting please let me know. (I live in Richmond, but something in the city of Vancouver would be more appropriate.)

I am spammiong this to all Vancouver area Wikipedians that I can find. Please reply to my talk page. Eclecticology 21:50:16, 2005-09-03 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. I have a 15-year old son, and would be delighted if he showed an interest in the Wiki! That being said, I also appreciate that Wikiactive youth would have just as much difficulty convincing their parents of the value of this project. Two often made suggestions when the issue of protection of youth from on-line predators comes up are to have live meetings in a public place in a public place, and for the youth to bring a parent to the meeting. I'm in a position to strongly influence the first condition, but can do nothing about the second. If, based on what you have said, you cannot make it on the 24th I will understand. Nevertheless, I still look forward to your participation at a future time. Eclecticology 18:31:07, 2005-09-04 (UTC)

Userpage vandalism, oh my!

Yeah, bad me. Though I do recall someone else repeatedly vandalizing my pretty (blank) userpage... I don't suppose you'd know anything about that, silly? *pet pet pet* ^_^ :: DarkLordSeth 15:52, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You are a very bad little vandal! Shame on thee, fair lady! Now don't make me break out my somewhat offensive yet utterly awesome movie-quote templates! :D :: DarkLordSeth 17:35, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
