What is vandalism?

Please list only vandalism on Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism. USer:Fluterst's actions, if not helpful, do not meet the definition of vandalism. Consider Wikipedia:Dispute resolution instead. - Taxman ^Talk 19:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any suggestion on how to pursue this type of issue then, if you feel it is not vandalism? Going through an RfC might take months, and never really get anything done. But many of the changes made by Fluterst fall far below the level of anything that could be reasonably be considered a content dispute (some are bad, but still at the content dispute level; but many are well, you say not "vandalism", but I'm not sure what else to call them).

One little indian

Thanks for your note. We have similar problems on Anarchism with 'anarcho-capitalists'/revisionists.. Seem to be folk paid to fill these articles (ala COINTELPRO ) - i.e they seem to be on 8 hrs a day non-stop. I don't have my head completely around the history of allegations against Ward Churchill.. but the Rocky Mountain News campaign should not be given undue prominence in the article... That "newspaper" should not be relied upon for unbias coverage , especially since they target panelists looking at the research misconduct allegations>[1] - max rspct leave a message 15:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I see you been at University of Colorado ...I wondered whether you had actually met W.Churchill? - max rspct leave a message 16:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have, very passingly. I've never had a one-on-one conversation with him though. This was way before he had his university appointment, maybe mid 1980s. It would have been fun to take a course from him, but I left CO in 1988, for the slightly fairer shores of Massachusetts (and a Ph.D. program here). My mom used to be fairly good friends with Churchill—not "talk every day friends", more like "ocassionally go out together" friends. In the last decade or so, she's less in touch with Churchill, but still "pleasant greetings at a social event" friends (nothing so dramatic as a falling out or political conflict, just how things happen in life).

Mom also, FWIW, is somewhat known in Indian art circles. She was one of the (numerous) co-authors of the first-in-the-USA "Colorado Indian Arts and Crafts Act". So I may have known about Churchill as an artist before I ever read any of his essays. Both Mom and Dad (and a few other people I'm in touch with) are in Colorado, and are hence exposed to the local anti-Churchill press, which I hear about in filtered form (including sometimes subjecting themselves to some awful right-wing radio DJs; I couldn't bear that for five seconds myself).

Poetlister

You're not going to believe this, but s/he's apparently been blocked, I believe for sock puppetry. and she's saying she must be unblocked to deal with the mediation with you. I kid you not. See User_talk:Mindspillage#User:Poetlister_block. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 22:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Zordrac

You're not the only one dealing with Zordrac's lies. He's currently claiming that I requested him to send e-mail to Daniel Brandt, "explaining" that I "used weasel-words" to try and "discredit" Brandt in an "underhanded" way -- yeah, you heard right, he's actually trying to pretend I asked him to represent me to Brandt. He's also telling the lie that I made fifteen reverts (or as he phrases it, "15RR") in a twenty-four hour period. Most days I don't even make fifteen edits in twenty-four hours, let along fifteen reverts, let alone fifteen reverts to the same page. Anyways, if I end up bringing this lying sack-of to RfC or ArbCom, want to come with and help? -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:38, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in my comment on his talk page, I've never interacted with Zordrac before. So while I didn't like the comments I saw, I don't think I'd have all that much to add to an RfC. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 02:56, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

LOL Antaeus Feldspar is the one that's been wikistalking me. I did precisely what he asked me to do. As you can see, he somehow happened upon your page so as to badmouth me to you. Anyway, no worries, go and associate with someone like that. I am sure it will help your reputation lol. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 04:22, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK... how about apologizing for (and retracting) the false and derogatory comments you made about me on yet another users page, for no apparent reason?

FWIW, I also have no previous contact with Antaeus Feldspar, so can also make no comment on his edit history. It sounds like a conflict I'd be best to stay out of. But so far, only one of the two of you has gone out of their way to write nasty things about me on pages I have no involvement with. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 04:30, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Political Compass

Wherez your results then? Economic Left/Right: -8.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.33

I am suprised folk pay so much attention to this simplistic device. It only reinforces that constrictive, disenfranchised and spectacular capitalist culture of ours. And to have a professional philosopher encouraging me to participate in it...It also seems to be an invention (we don't need) from the US of A ??? BTW> one of our 2 trollers intoduced one of these on his debut day.. right in the middle of anarchism article. Amateurs, thats why notes to editors are on the front page. And how far is 'assume good faith' supposed to last? Who writes all these rules anyway?- max rspct leave a message 15:24, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mine are the second or third result, I think. I abbreviated my name as "LotLE" just for space reasons there, as sometimes elsewhere (but it links back to my regular user page).

I guess I'm obviously not so down on little OCD self-tests as you are :-). I sort of enjoy little quizzes; and the two dimensions seem moderately better than just one. Can I add your numbers to the table? Definitely not a USA test though... they spell all their words wrong *wink* (http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/faq.php#spell).

No, please don't add the results.. Call me a killjoy but I wouldn't want to support or give it credence - max rspct leave a message
