User talk:Hemlock Martinis/Archive 4Flemish Renaissance paintersPlease stop adding Early Netherlandish painters to the Flemish Renaissance category. It is not appropriate for the likes of Jan van Eyck. Several could however be added to Category:Early Netherlandish painters, which is the usual term in art history for those active in the 15th century. Whether they were part of a Renaissance movement is the subject of much debate and not a suitable basis for categorization. See also Netherlandish.

Congrats, but please learn to Archive. Pretty please? --Bedford 05:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi- just writing to ask you to reconsider the speedy deletion of the above article. The band contained Shagrath, member of notable bands including Dimmu Borgir and Chrome Division, as well as a member of Ulver, meaning it meets point six of our music notability guidelines. On top of this, there is an article on another Wikipedia, and though this does not confer notability, it implies it should at least be given a chance. If you are still concerned about the article, I will be happy to do a little work on it. Note coverage on Rockdetector and many mentions regarding the history of Dimmu Borgir, but be aware that the dates of the band make internet coverage hard to come by.

Vital Articles ProposalJust wanted to say that your proposal is great. It's BOLD and well thought out. Because we had to agree as a whole or oppose, I have had to register my beliefs as a weak oppose; but I agree with an overwhelming number of the individual changes made in your "omnibus bill." Plus, it's great to have you back on the project. Postmodern Beatnik (talk) 18:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Request for Peer Review helpThank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue. 1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ... 2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month. 3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in. Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog.

Admin Master of Puppets unblocked me a few months ago. I was previously cleared by the checkuser but another user, Bobblehead, was creating socks and fearful that I found out and put a RFCU on him got me blocked saying that I was a sock even though the checkuser disproved it. Once he got me blocked, he successfully got the checkuser request cancelled. Since then, I have not disappointed Master of Puppets (who unblocked me) by editing constructively. Actually, I'm still pissed off at Wikipedia and how POV pushers like Bobblehead, who is using Wikipedia as a political campaign tool, block others that he doesn't like on the sock excuse. I am telling you this because Master of Puppets is on vacation. Please protect me. Here's the deal. I edit constructively and you make sure that POV pushers don't try to block me. I will honor the bargain by editing well so you can take credit for getting constructive edits written for Wikipedia. Actually, I'm so pissed off at the POV pushers that I think I'll stop editing for a while. Why help a website that is cornered by biased people...see how they destroy Wikipedia?

Cheers!--Pericles of AthensTalk 19:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC) ArbCom voteYou've brought up some excellent points in your oppose rationale, and I'd like the opportunity to address them. First off, the Editorial Council idea was not very well presented to the community. It changed too much along the way and I never clearly illustrated some aspects of it. My intent in proposing EdCo was never to circumvent or ignore consensus, but rather to solidify it. I view Wikipedia's encyclopedic content as a great ship, one which we all have built. We as the community are the sails, and when the winds of consensus come up we can carry the encyclopedia far. However, I've grown increasingly weary of the constant POV pushing and edit warring, especially in the nationalistic and ethnic conflicts. Those fierce storms are a great threat to the ship we built. They're distracting from the actual construction of an encyclopedia, which is why we're all here in the first place. Take a look at the most recent conflict to boil over in the naming of the Ireland-related articles as an example of how widespread within the content these disputes can be. These conflicts led me to decide that something had to be done, and so I proposed EdCo. I saw EdCo as a rudder for this fine ship, something that can guide us through the choppy seas of editor discord and the powerful storms of POV warriors. I stupidly tried to find a middle ground between binding and non-binding, and instead of achieving both I got neither. I've learned from that mistake. I'm toying with the idea of proposing a purely advisory, non-binding content-related committee at some point after the election in response to the concerns raised about EdCo, but nothing's certain right now. This rudder is not meant to represent elitism or a power trip, but stability and order. When I wish to strengthen ArbCom, I do not mean that I wish for its power to grow. Rather, I wish for it to use the power it has already been granted. This year was aptly described by one editor in their voter guide as ArbCom's annus horribilis. I completely agree. The Cla68-FM-SV case, with its ill-conceived merge, its shoddy implementation, the shady actions of some arbitrators, and the ineffectiveness that grew so bad it required the return of Newyorkbrad to sort out, represents all that went wrong with ArbCom this year. I want to fix these problems. I want boldness, speediness and common sense to return to ArbCom, and I believe I represent those three qualities. I may not hold every position you do, but I hope you share my belief that ArbCom needs to be fixed. ArbCom does not deal with content issues. Period. That is a view I have been steadfast in, so much so that rather than granting that power to ArbCom I proposed an entirely separate institution (EdCo) to help with it. I give you my word that should I be elected to the Committee, I will not let it become a forum in which content disputes are addressed or resolved unilaterally. I believe I'd written quite enough, so I'll end it here. I won't ask you to change your vote - your rationale is well-thought out enough to justify it. I'm glad to see voters like you are putting some thought and doing some research about the candidates, even the ones as minor as me. :) I will ask that you consider my views, put the same thought into them as you did my candidacy, and perhaps be a voice when I propose the non-binding content advisory committee after the election. Thank you, and happy editing! --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 07:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Arbcom evidenceThanks for clarifying that - the Wikipedia Signpost summary page seems to have been about as accurate as the Dodgy Dossier.

You don't need to worry about changing your mind, I think that it is very healthy - a lot of Wikipedia's problems are caused by people blindly refusing to admit errors or change their minds. I have to confess that I like a lot of what you are saying - your answer to Rschen7754's last question sums up a lot of my own feelings - you just happened to flirt with two of my bugbears: rigid, unquestioning enforcement of policy and ArbCom creating policy.

Arbcom Vote QuestionHemlock, Thanks for your note, in the interest of time I didn't list my oppose reasons. On your page specifically the reason was the voting system; in that this was indeed a vote, and the rules of the voting appear to allow additional 'support' weight via making 'oppose' entries (in lieu of abstain) towards all candidates I wasn't specifically supporting. On some of the candidates I opposed there were more specific reasoning, but here you were just not in my top support area. That's why polls are evil! — xaosflux Talk 02:56, 15 December 2008 (UTC) |
