As came up in the discussion, there are many meanings to the word Buddha, including references to a religious state. I personally have no opinion on this, but I do feel the discussion was in line with policy. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 13:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, your bot hasn't been running for several days. I wasn't sure if you were aware. Could this be the issue I emailed you about? Regards, alphachimp 04:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very strange. Thanks for pointing this out. It is running, and listing off things it is doing, but it has not done anything since April fools day. I wonder if it is playing a joke on me.

When your bot was acting up, did it stop running? Or did it pretend like it was still going? I am wondering if it is a login issue, I should use a packet sniffer to see what is actually happening.

But first, sleep. In the morning I will examine this. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 05:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I am awake, and the bot is sending the changes, but it is getting a "loss of session data" error. I am going to shut down the bot and run it again and see if that helps. I saved the packet logs to future analysis. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 13:38, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And now it works. Hmmm it looks like it got logged out. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I need to add a routine to check if it is logged out and log back in again. This was most likely the problem you encountered too. Thankfully, because the script sends the login session on every edit, it will not make an edit anonymously even if the server expires that session. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your comment above, this is exactly the issue I was experiencing with my version of the bot. alphachimp 18:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, that means that when I fix my problem yours goes away too. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, it looks like my bot is running into the issue right now, so yeah, the sooner the better. alphachimp 18:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quite possibly, yes, but the present board may be too complex. Please see WP:AN for related discussion. >Radiant< 13:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that discussion, see WT:RFCN#New_way_of_running_RFCN for a larger discussion about how we have it now, that was made by the people involved in the process itself. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 13:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• I have no objection to the revert, and was unaware of the earlier debate, but it appears that the people on the admin board do not necessarily agree with the earlier decision. We'll see if it stands up to broader inspection. >Radiant< 14:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The people at the admin board can participate in the discussion on the relevant talk page, I don't see how this is an admin issue. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

E kala mai, jumping in here, but you're right... it's not an admin issue, I was only discussing there because that was where the current discussion was. Maybe that discussion should be moved to WT:RFCN with a note... Again, sorry for interrupting. --Ali'i 14:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries for interrupting, I have already put a note at WP:AN mentioning the existing discussion. People will go post there if they want. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• It's indeed not an admin issue. It just so happened that I spotted the thread on the admin board. It should probably be moved to the RFCN talk page. >Radiant< 14:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure moving it is the best idea, I hate it when I comment somewhere then I am getting responses on a page I don't even have on my watchlist. I have already left a note there though. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having a problem adding user:Pothead12345 to the RFCN page. Thanks. Wǐkǐɧérṃǐť(Talk) (Contributions) 14:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Read the instructions, you need to make a sub page. May I ask which part of the username policy that name violates? ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arcayne's bad faith "warning" on my talk was about comments I made on Talk:300 (film) which were not personal attacks. Thus my comments on the edit summary on Persian people had nothing to do with any warnings from Arcayne, so please do not make false comments. Thirdly, User:Heja helweda has constantly made partisan edits towards Persians in a similar manner to User:Patchouli (who has since been permabanned). This is just for your own edification. No need to respond again on my talk page again, because frankly, I am tiring of this harassment of editors like Arcayne "warning" others in bad faith. Why don't admins go after problem users instead of going after people like me who are actually trying to build a neutral encyclopedia? Look at the talk of Talk:300 (film) and Heja's contributions. You've got to be kidding me if that kind of thing should be tolerated. Khorshid 18:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Calling someone a "anti-persian kurdish supremacist" is a personal attack. Don't use name calling, it is a violation of policy. The circumstances surrounding the insult do not justify it, you are warned not to violate this policy. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the Fenian Swine RFCN, you said: "First off, no I don't disallow everything, check your facts. Secondly, if you think there is a problem with my name then go ahead and list it. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 19:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)" - the problem with that is if anyone actually took you up on that offer, they'd immediately be accused of violating WP:POINT (despite that a single RFCN listing is not disruptive, no-one cares about that when they cite POINT) and blocked. In light of this, can you please refrain from baiting people like that? --Random832 18:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, such a nomination would not be a point violation unless it was disruptive in some way. My offer for anyone to bring it up my name is sincere. It was not baiting. I think you have misinterpreted the situation. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the word "baiting" was a bit loaded, and I'm sorry for that. But, honestly - WP:POINT is often misused, and my very first thought on seeing that statement was "well, wouldn't that be a good way to get slapped for a supposed POINT violation?" I don't agree with the way it's misused, but it's out there, "the elephant in the room" so to speak, and needs to be considered. --Random832 19:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am not sure how bringing up my name in a discussion would be disrupting Wikipedia, even if it was done to prove a point, especially considering I have invited such a discussion. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 19:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wheeee! ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 20:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am the one who placed the initial civility warning on User:Khorshid's page, for his lack of civility with another editor in the 300 article here, here and here. It seems to be kind of a pattern, but hey - make your own determination. I think it certainly warrants a level two warning, as he did this right after getting the first one. That he removes them suggests he's aware that they can hurt them if they accumulate. He might remove your warning as well, but it will remain in his edit history. They really don't like that sort of behavior.
He's certainly passionate about his unique point of view. Cheers. -Arcayne 21:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I warned him that there would be a block if the violation of policy continues, I was sincere in that statement. He removed my warning, so I assume that means he read and understood it. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 21:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Humorous/silly thought based on part of the MfD discussion:

• Regarding your misconception about WP:ANI: It is simply a board for issues that require administrative attention; non-admins frequently comment there. The rest of your comment, the slippery slope argument, is thoroughly vapid. —Centrx→talk • 02:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • ANI is overcrowded, you cannot even load the page if you don't have enough RAM. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 02:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

It is not a blatant violation of the username policy, not that I can see. You can make a posting at WP:RFCN which is the better place for borderline violations. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 04:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, see #Wiki-civility for my plan. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 13:34, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well that fact that he removed one of them as "rvv" is yet another violation, and that is after he removed yours. So it is a post-warning incivility. The Behnam 18:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that justifies a block at this point. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:38, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mention block. I was just pointing it out for the record. The Behnam 18:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On that matter, what exactly are your "temporary page indexes"? What do they do? The Behnam 18:43, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is an index of items that have been removed from a particular page. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a way the bot can recognize when to use a short summary if the blocked user's name is long. If the name is long, it messes up the summary, like it did here.

It is clear that we disagree, so instead of going back and forth, lets wait a little while and see what other people think. And please refrain from going to people's talk pages whom you know to share similar views and pointing them here, that is not the way to make consensus. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 23:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a quick look at Peter Isotalo's contribs, the only single user talkpages he has posted on in the past weeks are a) mine, b) Stbalbach's. Once each. No chatterbox, he. So the "people whom you know to share similar views", not being Stbalbach, must be me, I guess. I suppose you realize that implying without the slightest basis in reality that he's been spamming for support is pretty insulting to Peter? Also to me. I'm sorry you think my input lowered the tone to the point where you had to reproach Peter for "pointing me" to the discussion. I won't disturb it further. Peter and I don't in fact share similar views on citing and footnoting. I'm a great believer in thorough citing, I don't think like Peter nor like Geogre on this issue. The dealings I've had with Peter about it consist of him opposing an otherwise well-received FAC of mine for having too many footnotes! [7] Or are you referring to "similar views" about polling? I agree with him there. Most experienced wikipedians do, and would call the Talk:Black Death poll a textbook example of a poll that does everything wrong. If Peter had meant to call in the cavalry on that one, I expect he would have posted to somebody like Kim Bruning (see Wikipedia talk:Straw polls) rather than to me. Incidentally, would you mind not following me around, or is Scandinavian yoga an interest of yours? [8] It's creepy. Bishonen | talk 12:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Thank you for your clarification on your views. As for me following around, I am not, I keep many things on my watchlist, and I also follow the trails of other users and vandal. I am often led to interesting places. Yoga is an interest of mine, but I came across that article while looking for unreferenced articles. I tag articles all the time, no need to assume it has anything to do with you. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 13:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize if I incorrectly believed that the posting on your talk page drawing you into the discussion was less than noble. Sometimes people make mistakes. This sort of thing happens when coincidences align themselves to create the appearance of a pattern, similar to how you came to the belief I was following you when I am not. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 13:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well. Maybe some day it'll come to you what a poor reply that was: what a disagreeable "thank you", what an unrepentant "apology". You over-use those words and under-use their spirit. Bishonen | talk 23:10, 11 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I don't really know what to do when a person rejects the sincerity of my apology. I suppose it is your loss if you do not believe me, but I was sincere. I will assume your actions are done in good faith, I would like it if you did the same for me. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 02:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not to tell you your job (you're obviously far more experiences than me at the moment) I just didn't think I could take the risk of assuming that the IP's are all the same person just because they have done a small number of similar things.

on recent chandes ive seen u twice deleting stuff hope ur not a wiki nazi(also how come thyat page is protected from creation some wiki nazis behind it i guess)Tremewanbill 02:58, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am doing regular maintenance. Your talk of nazis is both confusing and offensive. Make sense, be civil or stop talking to me. I asked you to be specific, which page are you complaining about? ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 03:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How did you put the girl image on top near the Wikipedia logo? Future54 03:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, that is my head, not a girl's, I just had long hair then. You can put stuff there using <span style="position:absolute;top:20px;left:-70px;z-index:-1">[[Image:some image.png]]</span>

If you use a PNG you can have a transparency layer, the numbers in the string will need to be tweaked. You can see how I have done this at User:HighInBC/Floating head. I put two on that page, one to show if it is in my userspace, and another if it is put in someone else's. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 03:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HIBC, I don't have much (or any) experience with 3RR. Can someone be warned/blocked for restoring almost identical versions of the same thing? My specific interest is here, where User:Befairtoturks (great not-at-all-NPOV name) makes multiple edits to Anti-Armenianism. I gave him a {{uw-npov1}} warning, but I wasn't the one who did any of the reversions, and none of the other editors warned. To me, this is a spirit-of-the-rule violation of 3RR. You can see his response to my warning, and my reply here. Thoughts? Flyguy649^talk_contribs 04:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would say you would be justified in either giving a 3RR waring, or just going ahead and giving a 3RR block. Nationalist POV pushing is extremely disruptive and has caused some major problems in the past. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 04:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Flyguy649^talk_contribs 04:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, High, I think the troll you blocked is back at my talk page. Here is the diff in question. [10] I don't know if it does any good blokcing him, but just FYI. Cheers. IronDuke 14:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You want me to give your talk page a semi protection for a couple days? ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sure, why not? It might cut down on the need to ban IP numbers for a bit. Thanks a lot. IronDuke 14:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is done. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not. And all the evil disgruntled trolls posting to WR have the only goal to destroy Wikipedia. We know that. —AldeBaer user:Kncyu38 14:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about WR, I as just making a little joke. Perhaps I used poor timing. On an unrelated note, I like the new name. Not sure why, but I picture a bear with the features of Alan Alda. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haha! Good guess about my name. My girlfriend suggested it, it's a German dialect form of "Alter Bär" (old bear). I like the Alan Alda interpretation, though. Regarding WR: I didn't know it either until someone linked to this essay on a talk page. I found it rather interesting, but I see why people are getting nervous about linking to WR. Most pages contain ugly rants and there are many attempts to out the identities of Wikipedians. —AldeBaer user:Kncyu38 15:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did read something on ANI or AN about WR outing the real names and addresses/contact information about Wikipedians who wished to remain anonymous. However, I have not been there to check if this is true. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 15:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look at Shibbir ahmed. When you check it's History you'll understand my request. Cheers. --Dweller 15:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Poof, it is gone. I put the user on my watchlist too. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 15:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --Dweller 17:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while since we last discussed this. We have been climbing up the charts and I want to know if we have reached notabillity yet. Highlights include a featured article on ZDnet, being mentioned on BBC Radio, and even being aired on National TV on Retirement Living. What do we need to get a page to happen?--Chalutz 20:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried posting a request at WP:RA? RJASE1 ^Talk 20:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Put it under podcasts in Podcast Section I expected HighInBC to answer that is really interesting. So did I write this up propperly? Is there anything else that is needed? --Chalutz 22:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to contest a previous deletion because you think the situation has changed, then you should present this new evidence of notability to deletion review. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 22:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to that article seems appropriate for that article. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 22:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found out what the name really is, it's a contestant in Robot Wars, see WP:RFCN page. Wooyi^{Talk, Editor review} 21:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't unblock until the RFCN discussion has had time to develop. Then unblock away if warranted. Drug references in username have been judged inappropriate many times in the past. I guess you've forgotten the classics: "Got a fat-ass 'J' / Of some bubonic chronic / That made me choke / Shit, this ain't no joke!" hehe. See also here. I bet the user is evading a block, anyway. Very interesting contribution history. -- Y not? 21:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you High. Chronic The Wedgehog 21:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded on your talk page. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 21:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
