User talk:Realist2/Archive 12The return of Daara JWell, after waiting awhile, doing some reorganization and copy editing, and not finding much else (or really anything else) to put in, I decided to renominate Daara J at GAN. Thought you might like to know, because I seem to recall that, after our little rift, you encouraged me to do so. Hopefully it passes! --Kakofonous (talk) 19:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Sharp ShooterWe reverted at the same time, but I got the VW3 in. Happy Wiki-birthday, by the way. If I'd remembered, I'd have baked you a cake. --Rodhullandemu 23:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Wiki BirthdayThe Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 23:51, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
CadenThank you, but in return I'd like you to try to be a little gentler around Caden, since he obviously has not been brought up properly, and it's going to be very difficult for him to change his ways. And incidentally, it's "pussy-footing" - that is, 'walking delicately like a cat does'. DS (talk) 00:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC) I agree with DS here (though I would note that how "properly" one is brought up is a matter of opinion), and I would like to expand on DS's request by noting that you are veering dangerously close to making personal attacks yourself, by how you are characterizing CadenS's views. Even discussing his views as something Wikipedia should be concerned about, is missing the point. Wikipedia does not care what views - no matter how much you and I disagree with them - its editors have. Wikipedia is only concerned with its policies. So, commenting on CadenS's conservative views is not helpful. Commenting on his actual violations of policy (WP:PA and WP:CIVIL), however, is. -kotra (talk) 00:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC) I have already talked about his breach of policy at the appropriate noticeboards, however you are right, i shouldnt expand on it beyond that, i just have strong principles on such things. Advise noted. --Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 00:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC) Madonnayes still time to finish off the article My keyboard has problems Ultra! 20:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC) If you computer is faultering and you need even more time than 7 days im sure we can sort something out? --Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 20:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC) no not more than 7 days Ultra! 20:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC) OK, best of luck. --Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 20:21, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Best selling music artistsSince you are cleaning up the article, I decided to confirm the other Japanese references. The reference for Kazuhiro Moriuchi has lots of text, but I located a citation for more than 55 million records in 1985. 220.253.19.78 (talk) 22:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC) ?Questions:What is a global account?What is the ubx template indicating you have one?I think I have one.

I don't expect Barnstars, because I just go around getting on with it. I've currently got Criminal damage in English law on GA review, and should finish it tomorrow. It's going a lot better than the last one, however, because it has actually been reviewed by an academic lawyer, and not an amateur. --Rodhullandemu 00:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Leaving isn't the answerRealist, I can see that you are abysmally frustrated with the whole XP fiasco. I fully understand. However, I've seen you around and you are a highly valued and diligent contributor. In fact, the patience you've shown in defense of said user, and your attempts at inculcating him are commendable. My only request is this. Don't let these incidents sour you to the point of an indefinite Wikibreak, or even leaving permanently. I hate to see editors leave disgruntled, honestly. You have a userbox that reads you are proud to be a Wikipedian. I believe that. Just thought I'd drop you a note and share my thoughts. Regards. Wisdom89 (T / C) 02:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC) Happy Birthday!Oh, and don't leave.

Elvis triviaGood point you made about the awards and recognition section. Didn't hang about, I just did it. Rikstar (talk) 07:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Thanks R2. Take your point about length; you should have seen the FA nomination of 2 years ago - 150kish?? This article is pretty much impeccably sourced, but we can lose some stuff - if only other editors allow (it's been difficult...). Will give it a go. BTW, Bob Dylan is Featured and 140kb... and it was long when it got the star. Rikstar (talk) 15:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Janet picThe Flickr uploads are always problematic. In theory, if the photographer in question really uploaded this to Flickr under the Creative Commons license, I think it is okay.. but how do we prove the uploading user is who they say they are? I don't really understand how this policy works in regards to Flickr... I might try doing some reading and see if I can find out. --Jaysweet (talk) 14:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC) ResponseWhen it comes to such serious things I felt I had to step in and report the user my self.

HeyHey, Thanks for the message. What edits are you reffering to exactly though because I haven't been editing much recently!. I see you've done some nice work too. Keep it up!. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
ObamaSuggest you revert your last - "retained a lead" makes more sense than "retained in the lead". Did you think it said "remained", perhaps? -- Scjessey (talk) 01:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC) MJ archivesThe duplicate could be deleted under WP:CSD#G6 but that would leave a hole in the numbering which is undesirable since someone would wonder where it's gone. I'd make the smaller one a redirect to the larger with an edit note saying "Archive duplicated in error". This would leave the history intact if anyone wanted to check it out. Seem reasonable? --Rodhullandemu 16:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Michael Jackson/Archive 6, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Talk:Michael Jackson/Archive 6. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC) Obama consensus debateThank you for your kind words on my talk page. My only desire is for a neutral article, but the sheer bloody-mindedness of the folks who don't want Obama to win anything makes it extraordinarily difficult to achieve any sort of neutrality. I am hoping this "mild" approach will cool things down and allow normal discussion. -- Scjessey (talk) 18:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Talk page archive censorshipHey, I just wanted to know if there is any policy that allows comments from a talk page archive to be removed like this. You could justify that it is a BLP violation, but I could argue that being an MJ fan, you are trying to remove all traces of any even-slightly negative comments made against him and his family. Further, you don't seem to have discussed this anywhere. indopug (talk) 20:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC) I discussed it on the admin noticeboard, im to take the links to Jayron32 when I have finished to be wiped off the site. Cheers. --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 20:32, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Here, if Jayron cant handle it he wont mind passing it on the the relevant body. Im gonna AGF on your part that you didnt think i was wildly removing stuff because of my taste in music, id like to think I have a little more respect off the community than that. — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 20:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I might do when im finished, at the moment im just trying to get through the 18 archives, you can help me if you like, start from 18 and work your way down. Its so much fun. Besides "Whitewash" seems like a bad word from my understanding of it. Im doing a good thing. — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 20:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Article talk alert?I had mentioned: FYI: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Kossack4Truth LotLE×talk 00:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC) I will defer to your removal. To my mind, K4T's disruptive edits and sock-puppetry are exactly what is stopping the article from calming down to something reasonable and encyclopedic. Well... it's not like I am sure someone else wouldn't take his ideological place before too long. If other editors could add evidence to the checkuser request, I believe that would be helpful. Unfortunately, as long as K4T remains active there (under whatever account name), it will be impossible for the discussion to be about anything else, hence I think the checkuser request is (sadly) germane to article. LotLE×talk 00:27, 3 June 2008 (UTC) Its very unhelpful. --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 00:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Comments from KossackWhen you're transferring comments from Kossack's talk page to the article's talk page, just copy the applicable parts of his comments and try not to interpret his comments. While it's clear that Kossack is in favor of option 7, it's really best to just use his words and also provide the link to the diff for that comment. --Bobblehead (rants) 00:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC) I provided a link? Sure though i should have made it a little more indepth, frankly i wise we could all just stick to 1 easy number lol. --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 00:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC) Barack Obama consensus failIt appears that the attempt to build a consensus over the Ayers issue is failing miserably. The extreme views (on both sides) are probably going to cause this process to break down. I thought everything was going very well, but now I am uncertain how to proceed. Any advice you can give on how we might be able to restore the spirit of cooperation would be appreciated. - Scjessey (talk) 16:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
FWIW, I am confident the IP is a genuinely different editor, given its edit history. However, I am equally confident that Workerbee74 is another sock-puppet of K4T. As soon as K4T's first sock, Fovean Author, was blocked, Workerbee74 appeared to rant in the exact same voluminous tone that K4T had been doing (even hinting about "Fovean Author" soon weighing in with a #7 vote, once the block was done). I guess I'll add that user to the existing sock-puppet check request. LotLE×talk 17:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Jikes, il take a look now, if they are all socks it'l make consensus of #3 a whole lot easier lol. — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 18:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC) Fan club vs fan siteYou keep considering janetfanclub.com a "fan site" when it is not. A fan site is a website setup by fans that may or may not have accurate information. This site is not setup by fans, it was launched by Live Nation for the tour and is where you buy your tickets. This website lists Los Angeles. This is accurate information. I notice Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour uses the exact same type of website for its source on all of the dates. I don't see the problem in using this website for a source of the dates. Thankyoubaby (talk) 20:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC) The only problem is, when I click on it, it always appears as a dead link, therefore I cant see it and cannot find out its style or reliability, I can only read the link which doesnt look impartial. --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 20:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Talk:List of best-selling music artistsI see the IP guy is unhelpful and I have warned him for WP:NPA, but you shouldn't delete his comments. --Rodhullandemu 20:58, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Obama's mother's raceIt should be in the intro of the article, perhaps along with this father's race. I think Obama's diversity is certainly one of his defining characteristics. What do you think? JackWilliams (talk) 02:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC) The color of his skin is of zero interest to me. Discuss it on the talk page. Do it again and you will likely be blocked. --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 02:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
No, not really, im really color blind, i dont find it special. Thats not the point though, the point is your edit warring and you must discuss instead. I really dont want to get into how liberal I am. --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 02:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
