I came across an article written by [[User:LiftWaffen]] called [[What Witches Do]], about a book by Stewart Farrar. LiftWaffen both created the article, with a link to the Starwood Festival, then added a link to ACE. I never saw the article before. What's particularly interesting is that LiftWaffen is, evidentally, a sock of Matisse who has been permanently blocked! If the issue of the links to Starwood ends up boiling down, in part, to there being too many (which IMO is why a few admins think there is an issue at all), it would be good to know just how many such links were created by Matisse and Co., like the Musart article and this one. (And do books often get their own articles? Well, I suppose a few are very influential in and of themselves: Moby Dick, A Christmas Carol, Stranger in a Strange Land, Catcher in the Rye, The Bible...)[[User:Rosencomet|Rosencomet]] 00:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC) |

Nonsense
Please stop being a Dick. At least check the diffs before reverting article improvements.
Grow up, Stalker Boy. What improvements would those be? "It's famous, I swear it is!" Or did you slip in a link to the Starwood Festival while I wasn't looking? Need those Google hits! --Calton | Talk 19:46, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Uh huh. And the notability? Once again, "Because I said"? Not a Wikipedia-approved source. At least check the tags before removing them, Stalker Boy. --Calton | Talk 19:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
An accredited educational institute authorized by the state to confer a Master's degree is notable
And the state standards for a "Master's degree" are what, then? --Calton | Talk 19:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds like the topic for an article about education in Washington State. Feel free to research and write.
- I know this may be difficult for you, but try being intellectually honest instead of blathering about irrelevancies. In words of few syllables: you claim a "Master's degree" automatically equals notability, skipping over whether "Master's degree" has a relevant meaning.
- However, the precise definition is not needed... Since I never asked for a "precise definition", it's difficult to tell whom you're arguing with. Hint: making up arguments and attributing them to someone you're arguing with isn't on the up and up.
- ...to establish that a school is reputable and notable within its field and state. See, that's where the whole "reliable sources" bit comes in, and "because I said so" fails. --Calton | Talk 20:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like you just earned yourself a block for 3RR unless you revert
Calton, I would advise you treat the user with dignity and respect. Incivilty shouldn't be tolerated on wikipedia.--Certified.Gangsta 06:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. That is much better work than I could have done on the topic. —Hanuman Das 15:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
RfC on Mattisse/Timmy12
Hello. Just letting you know that an RfC has been opened on Mattisse, here. As it provides strong circumstantial evidence that Timmy12 is a sockpuppet of Mattisse intentionally using two computers to evade checkuser, I thought you might want to comment. I don't really care what side you weigh in on, but I know you've been in a position to observe at least part of the situation and any view would be helpful. —Hanuman Das 11:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- OK I've removed your name from point 7. --Salix alba (talk) 22:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. You may be right, an RfC against Timmy12 might have been a better idea... —Hanuman Das 15:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

- Wow! Nothing at all to do on my watchlist this AM. Somebody must be doing something right. I noticed your additions to Namkhai Norbu. I thought you didn't know all that much about Buddhism.... Ekajati (yakity-yak) 14:45, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the category
To Indian rock cut architecture. If I can't find a category on another article to copy, then I'm at a lost how to find one. So, thanks! Mattisse(talk) 22:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, maybe you can keep your eye on it because I don't know anything about hierarchies either. I know they exist -- that it is important what order the categories are in, right? Is the most general category supposed to go on the bottom, then work it's way up to more specific, or the other way arount, or does it matter? I should pay more attention to that, but when I look at articles I can't tell why the categories are in a particular order. Mattisse(talk) 22:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- In songs some seem to have a dozen cateories: song:1953, song:single, song:blues, song:American, song:Elvis Presley, song:hot 100, song:songwriter Johnny Mercer, song:Hall of Fame etc., even song:Mississippi -- I'm not being accurate here but you get the drift. I'm glad there are people like you that take care of all that! So, thanks again! Mattisse(talk) 23:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Mattisse RfC
Would you possibly reconsider signing the Mattisse RfC? Hanuman Das has dropped out, but you also tried to resolve the issue, so can endorse it... -999 (Talk) 17:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I can understand and respect your position. Seems like Timmy12 is gone, but if he comes back and repeats the same multiple driveby tagging without discussion, I may go ahead and open an RfC on it. I have seen other users who do the same blocked really quickly (e.g. InnerJustice (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) and I'm not sure why Timmy12 shouldn't also be. -999 (Talk) 17:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Speak of the devil... I see just after posting this that Timmy12 is back and posting crazy paranoia on the Mediation page... -999 (Talk) 17:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Starwood mediation
Several parties are trying to do an endrun around the mediation process (after it has worked, no less). Please add your input to the "consensus" they are falsely trying to create on the mediation page. —Hanuman Das 02:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Singing Bowl & Namkha & Phurba
Ekajati: as a protector of the teaching of Dzogchen and non-duality please have a look over my edits to Singing Bowl, Namkha and Phurba for probity. I noticed you edited Trul Khor and thought you may be interested. Thanking you in anticipation B9 hummingbird hovering 01:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Ganachakra
Ekajati: i noticed you contend the relationship between yab-yum and sex magic in the discussion section of ganachakra. So what were Padmasambhava and Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal doing in those caves? I would like to establish linkages between both articles and I invite dialogue with you to establish a workable solution. Namaste B9 hummingbird hovering 02:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletions
I was just discussing some of the recent deletions and attempts at the same with Hanuman Das of articles I had created. Two of them, Robert Lee "Skip" Ellison and Taylor Ellwood, must have been speedy deletions (I suspect by Pigman) that I missed out on the discussion of. (By the way, what's the story on creating a watchlist?) I think they were notable, especially Skip, and he pointed out that he's on the "article needed" list in the Neo-Paganism project page. Is there someplace I could find my original text, or is it lost in the ozone? Maybe I could beef them up and re-submit.
Two more that were targetted were Sally Eaton and George R. Harker, but the response was so overwhelming to keep them that the challenge was dropped. One more currently being considered is Tannin Schwartzstein, which you may wish to weigh in on. I must admit, however, that her's is the weakest case of the lot, at least by virtue of the information I've been able to gather. Pigman has, however, declared that he believes that at least a third of the articles I've created lack notability and should be deleted (and of course all the internal links).
By the way, I've just added my name to the Neo-Pagan project page. Rosencomet 02:43, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Starwood
Thanks for your response. I've set up a mediation page at Talk:Starwood Festival/mediation where I've addressed the issues raised on my talk page.
Peace! - Che Nuevara 06:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Musart
I posted this on Che's talk page, too.
I find this to be rather bizarre, and a good example of how the folks on the other side of this issue have had a pattern of manipulating things either for their own amusement or to put the actual editors of the articles in question in a bad light. I had nothing to do with the Musart article, which was created by "Flinders", apparently a sock-puppet. He/she also created the Ann Hill & Anne Hill articles, claiming she was a "frequent speaker at the Starwood Festival" (she exists, but has never appeared at Starwood). At one point the name Anne Rice was changed to Anne Hill. (Someone also accused me of linking to and messing with the Andrew Cohen article, though as far as I know it was never linked to the Starwood page, nor did he appear there.)
I'm not saying Musart isn't deserving of an article, and I could create one, but this one had only two facts that were not false: the very first line ("Musart is a musical art company founded by Muruga Booker."), and the links to the Musart website. (Pigman, oddly enough, just took down those links.) The rest of the article seems to be a cut & paste job from part of the Starwood Festival article as it stood at the time of the Musart's article's creation. (Muruga Booker actually asked me about it in a conversation 2 days ago, assuming I had created it, and wondered why the content was so very wrong.) This kind of behavior - fake articles linked to Starwood, constant demands for citations, subsequent accusations that the citations constituted linkspam and google-bombing - all seems to have started with Matisse just 7 days after my first contribution to a Wikipedia article. Rosencomet 17:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm trying to find a civil way of putting this: I believe it would be helpful and useful to Wikipedia if you spent a little more time contributing edits and verifiable information to articles and a little less time worrying about other editor's actions as sockpuppets. Whether a sock of Mattisse started the Musart article is immaterial to my mind, no one owns the page. My current concern is that there is no supporting documentation for this event/group. I just want to know it's a real event because I've never heard of it. (My having heard of it isn't a test of its notability, I just don't know.) I'm not asking for citations up the whazoo, just something. --Pigman (talk • contribs) 19:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Skip Ellison
Could you tell me if the original text for the deleted article I created on Robert Lee "Skip" Ellison still exists somewhere that I could cut & paste it from? Also, on the Starwood Mediation issue, I think Pigman might have a point regarding the Association for Consciousness Exploration links. I would be willing to take them down, except a few where they're obviously pertinent (like the Starwood Festival and WinterStar Symposium articles themselves). Should I, or would this be a bad idea while the mediation is going on? Rosencomet 17:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind. I found it on answers.com. The page is up now. Robert Lee "Skip" Ellison. Rosencomet 19:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
