I don't know User:PistolPower, and I'm not sure I want to. Thanks for hiding the salacious left message on my talk. AnAn 02:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Speaking of PistolPower, I've been considering putting him on AN/I. Good idea or bad, do you think, Mark? He certainly has been exhibiting some...er, flamboyant behavior. —BorgHunter

Suggestion
I recognize that when you close TFD debates in which the template was speedy deleted, you tend to use the text "The result of the debate was moot. The template was speedy deleted." This tends to lead to some confusion and anger from the participants in the debate, who, not checking the delete log, assume that you deleted the template. Might I suggest stating instead "[...] The template was speedy deleted by User"? That would go a long way toward alleviating this confusion. --Teh Puppet 10:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, Anonymous Senior Admin. That's of course an excellent suggestion. I'll definitely do that in the future. For now, I thought about amending the closing messages of the relevant TfD sections, but on the other hand I know I'll be accused of rewriting history. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 23:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
re: CSD T1
As you may know, there is a ongoing debate on Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion on exactly how to define what "offensive", "inflammatory", or "personal attack" is. Some have expressed concern that it is "too vague". Therefore, I currently have a rule of thumb that if I have even a bit of doubt, I will leave it alone and have another admin look at it. But since no other admin dealt with Template:User Fascist for several hours, while most of the other things on CAT:CSD were routinely removed, I did what my instincts told me (which I admit has been heavily influenced by the result of Kelly Martin's RFC). Zzyzx11 (Talk) 21:27, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- I understand your concern. On the other hand, the situation is slightly different now, we have new policies, and in the specific cases you reverted the calls for speedy deletions actually came from other users who I hope have come to realize the divisive nature of some of the political userboxes. I don't think we should let ourselves be bullied around by a vocal minority, but of course it's your choice if you don't want to be the target of their cute little wrath. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 23:19, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Ausflag growing up
Hi I notice you have put Image:Ausflag growing up.jpg up at IFD. A less administrative method of dealing with it would be to either tag it {{or-fu}} or {{redundant image}} and it would be speedied. --Martyman-(talk) 22:58, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, it's not identical in the "all pixels the same" sense. Some pixels are noticeably different, due to compression artifacts in the JPEG version. If that doesn't matter (I personally don't think it does), by all means speedy it. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 23:00, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
RfC and TfD
I'm sorry to see all these accusations against you getting out of control. You have my full support.--Alhutch 23:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. It's just an attempt at intimidation by the usual suspects. I keep telling myself that it's not about me personally, but rather a symptom of their frustration about being unable to push their ideas through by astroturfing, vote stacking, passive-aggressive threats, and disruption. I just wish they'd at least get their basic facts straight. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 00:13, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- There are two users who are being utter jerks on my talk page over this template issue (User:Lawyer2b and User:PistolPower) , and so I feel some of your pain. (I think these two should be banned, but that's another issue). These userboxes are encouraging the very worst behaviour among wikipedians, and so the elimination of these inappropriate userboxes is a good thing. Let me know what I can do to help. linas 15:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
User confusion
I received an email from User:Boxes with the following text:
- Can you please tell Mark Sweep that You and I are not the same person.
I can confirm that this is correct and that this is a different individual (whom I had not heard of until now). Feel free to have someone run a CheckUser if you'd like to verify this. The only names I have used for editing are User:Crotalus horridus and User:Userboxes (the latter of which was fully disclosed on the user page). Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 00:14, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Can you post this on WP:AN#User:Userboxes please? Thanks, --MarkSweep (call me collect) 00:25, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- I have done so. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 00:25, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- I already checked for the AC case - User:Userboxes and User:Boxes are completely different. (Boxes is a role account as well - did its operator list themselves publicly as yet?) - David Gerard 00:33, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. And, no, not yet, as far as I know. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 00:36, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Discussion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rexmorgan (talk • contribs)
Speedying Template:Offensive
I wasn't around for the discussion of the previous Template of this name, but the discussion in the delete log seems to indicate it was intended for an entirely different purpose (ie. to "protect minors"). Mine is based on a message used by the Special Broadcasting Service and ABC TV here in Australia (where, for example, Aboriginal people are frequently disturbed by images of people who are no longer living), and is intended to represent cultural sensitivity, NPOV etc. etc. On that basis, I'm re-creating the template. Please discuss before speedy-deleting it again. — JEREMY 02:07, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Discussion moved to Template talk:Offensive. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 22:55, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Marksweep. Thanks for your comments. I didn't know about Pearson's chi-squared test.

Setting the record straight
- On Wikipedia:Deletion review/Userbox debates you accuse me multiple times of having deleted templates like {{User_participant_userbox_war}}. Since the situation has already been explained to you, I would appreciate it if you would retract these false statements and set the record straight. Thanks, --MarkSweep (call me collect) 09:27, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- You didn't think it was necessary to ask me what was going on in the first place. You didn't think it was necessary to inform me of the RfC you tried to file. And now your misguided accusations are still up and causing problems, so I've asked you to do something about it. At least you could try to discuss this with me. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 23:24, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- The discussion on the RFC wasn't enough? Sct72 00:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Apparently not: Your false accusations are still present on Wikipedia:Deletion review/Userbox debates. At the very least, you could retract them. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 00:19, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- No, I would like to discuss your false accusations on Wikipedia:Deletion review/Userbox debates. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 00:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Don't split hairs. Your comments on Wikipedia:Deletion review/Userbox debates are out of order. Please have at least the decency to retract them. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 02:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
userbox nonsense
I very nearly added this text to Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/MarkSweep:
- If Sct72, Arbiteroftruth, Lawyer2b, and other editors would devote as much effort to editing encyclopedia articles as they do to defending a bunch of silly userboxes, Wikipedia would be a better place.
But I decided it would be uncivil and inflammatory, and anyway it wouldn't change anyone's mind. But I offer it here, by way of support, and hope you can keep your chin up. Steve Summit (talk) 06:25, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Far from being uncivil, I take that as a compliment and I happen to agree with your statement. But the reciprocal is also true. Obviously userboxes mean a lot to some people and if MarkSweep, TonySidaway, et. al. would stop baiting us (by picking on userboxes that are only displayed on someone's userpage anyway) Wikipedia would be a better place. Lawyer2b 13:39, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Karmafist Manifesto
Dear Mark, it was my idea to place the message in the welcome message. Karmafist didn't at all force me to do it. Also, I tried to make the message as unintimidating as possible; I'm not rushing up to people and staring them down, but rather proposing something that might be of interest. Like I stated, I didn't barge in and shout "Vote for Karmafist,". Hence why it states please consider, not do. --MasTer of Puppets Peek! 16:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
The Welcome Message
I've never been able to make a user space template, would the page you suggested be put in as {{user:karmafist/petition}}? If so, that'd be infinately preferable: my goal is to reform Wikipedia, not piss people off.
However, with the petition, my main goal is how many sign rather than who signs. However, if there was another way I could get a large number of people to sign, that'd also be great. Right now the welcomes are at around a 3% rate, which was around average for non-face to face persuasion canvassing during my four months working for America Coming Together back in '04.
I'm not going to change my welcomes back for now, instead copy and pasting the old one from a word file I have, just as a show of good faith to you(avoiding a pointless edit war), if all else fails, I'll do that along with AWB to avoid edit wars while still sending out welcomes. Karmafist 22:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, userspace templates work exactly as you thought! But copy and paste works too, of course. More later, --MarkSweep (call me collect) 23:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
For vandal who deleted Template:No_Marxism
This template was deleted and should not be recreated -- is it that you are the one who makes laws here? Is it really enough of your personal political and/or 'anti-userbox' convictions?
I tell you what -- I'll do all I can to have you received the salary you deserve. Constanz - Talk 10:36, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- I asked you where was the proper discussion (and consensus for)? I.e Anti-fascism template was discussed.
- BTW, neither template:anti-fascism nor template:anti-imperialist (and anti-gun control or whatever) are neither divisive nor inflammatory, eh? Constanz - Talk 10:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
From that point of view, Marxism (and all its Communist-Socialist heirs) should be discarded, for those ideologies are certainly 'divisive' (you haven't heard of 'class war', have you?). Am I mistaken?
(I wonder why are you so busy with anti-marxism, so that you've virtually forgotten other negation ideologies...)
Your change to Template:Ln
I don't argue whit your change, but the "log" entry you added might not work of entries including whitespace, I have added bug 5012 for a solution. →AzaToth 14:06, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- I know, one has to use underscores instead of whitespace. I hope this gets fixed in the software, since it also affects things like Template:vandal (e.g. Willy_on_Wheels (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)). --MarkSweep (call me collect) 14:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Resolving the Template:User No Marxism dispute
1. I have come aqcuainted with opinions by wikiauthorities and have retained my position. Although I'm aware that the chances that my proposal would be accepted are next to zero I am ready to take further steps. Before that, though, in order to prove that I've taken steps to settle the issue before turning to arbitration, I offer you the possibility to prove the unbiasedness and neutrality of your position.
I would emphasise that I as a firm believer in liberal democratic principles, am for userboxes showing opposing political views. I am absolutely for communist, Marxist, pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia, pro-religion etc userboxes provided that userboxes representing views opposed to the previous ones are permitted. I shall never propose any of these for deletion myself.
You stated as if you had taken such extraordinary out of procedure step with the purpose of removing 'divisiveness' and 'inflammatoryiness' -- then please confirm your position: please take similar decisive measures against other templates/userboxes you regard as of the similar nature. There are lots of them to be found. Hopefully I'll become confirmed of our common conception of indivisiveness. Constanz - Talk 19:10, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
2. Do you accept mediation on this issue? Let's turn to a mediator if you agree. Constanz - Talk 19:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't made up my mind yet as to whether mediation will be appropriate in this particular case. To me, this seems to be mostly based on a policy dispute. I'm not opposed to mediation in principle, but you should check with a potential mediator first whether they think that mediation is appropriate here at all. I don't think I've taken any "out of procedure" steps. Per WP:CSD polemical templates can be deleted. In fact, if you find other polemical templates, you're more than welcome to tag them for speedy deletion yourself. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 21:25, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:Vice Presidents who have shot people|Johnson, Richard Mentor
Good catch. Richard Mentor Johnson is on my watchlist. Your edit summary made me curious, so I looked. Silly, childish, and non-encyclopedic, but funny : ) He could also be Dicks that shot people. Are you removing a group of them or did you just find this one? Good job, either way. FloNight talk 02:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I tried to systematically remove all of them. Also from Category:People shot by standing Vice Presidents, which is even less useful. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 02:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I wished you hadn't removed the category so quickly. There's a lot of folks who want to cross-reference Cheney & Burr, and the category was the compromise about a half-dozen of us reached. I'm afraid that without this category, those who want the cross reference are simply going to add the reference back into the Burr and Hamilton-Burr articles proper (as they have been doing over and over again these past few days. Can you humor them for awhile and store the category? (or weigh in and explain why the articles about this historic figures shouldn't be defaced with unrelated modern references. God knows we've tried... Rklawton 02:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I won't put the category back in, because IMO it doesn't belong there. I'll keep an eye on the articles, though. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 04:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I find it odd that you would unilaterally overrule the compromise effort made by a half-dozen other people without any discussion. On the other hand, I agree with your assessment. Rklawton04:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Now you've stumbled upon one of my pet peeves. We need to keep the product in mind. I personally wouldn't argue for something to be put back into an article unless I really thought it should be there. Let me look at the talk pages and see what's been going on. Is this spread across multiple pages, or is there a summary on one particular page? --MarkSweep (call me collect) 04:29, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Rklawtonand MarkSweep, I left comment on Burr article. Let's work together to keep the material out of the article and the categories gone. Rklawton, you agree that the categories are not needed, right? If so, WP:AGF per the deletion. I don't think MarkSweep intended to mess-up your compromise. He was trying to get rid of the crazy Cheney stuff just like you. FloNight talk 05:18, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. And you're right, my original point was to get rid of the category, but now that I've had a chance to look at the history of the Burr article, I understand what's been going on there. The reference to recent events is far-fetched: I don't see how one can seriously compare a duel to a hunting accident. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 07:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Please stop emptying the category. It's on CfD. Either it will be gone in a few days or there will be a substantial body of opinion that likes it. (For my part, I think it's one of the better ways to find Harry Whittington, which is a good thing.) Septentrionalis 04:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Your actions are "INFLAMMATORY"
Your repeated deletion of the userbox I created, Template:User_CDP-USA, even after it has been modified and found acceptable by two Admins (one who was critical of the original), is itself an "INFLAMMATORY" offense. The userbox is no different than any of a hundred other political userboxes that are currently understood to be acceptable. All it says is "I support [insert political party]." If it's good for one, it's good for all. Lay off.

Userbox debates
You really should relax a bit. I'm not your enemy. Hell, no one active in these discussions is, but I'm not even disagreeing with you on most of these. It was (and is) my contention that the Dubya-box discussions should be preserved somewhere (besides the wiki log). You might disagree with that point, but I would hope you don't think it's some crazy idea, let alone vandalism. But whatever. I'm active on that page not because I feel passionate about the issue one way or the other, but because it bothers me that the page frequently devolves to hostility and name-calling. So please don't put thinly veiled threats on my user page if you disagree with my edits. In the end, we're all on the same side here. Regards, JDoorjam Talk 18:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for including an archive on the page. After our spitball fight was over, I examined the Dubya-box discussions more closely, and saw they hadn't been added on to in at least a day—an eternity in userbox debate time—so I agree that it was time to take them off the page. To make one more request (which I'm pretty sure you'll agree with), can you put the "Archive purposes only" tags on it, to make sure people don't get, I don't know, lost, and start the debate up again in the graveyard? I'd do it but I don't know the template. Regards, JDoorjam Talk 19:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent suggestion. Done. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 19:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
DRV blanking
You can't blank in progress DRV discussions even if you disagree with them. You don't WP:OWN drv. This is almost vandalism, please stop.--God of War 19:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

You are now in violation of WP:3RR for blanking the global notices section 4 times. Please restore this section and cease any such behavior in the future.--God of War 19:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- The discussion is now on the talk page, where it belongs. The Global notices section is for notices, not for discussion. Don't push this any further. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 19:53, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Is that another threat? What gives you the right to silence the opinions of others?--God of War 20:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your comment at Jimbo's talk page, I think the issue here is that you unilaterally decided that discussion was over and that the Bush userboxes would not be recreated. Threatening people who questioned your actions violates WP:CIVIL. You have not threatened me, but I consider such threats (i.e. "This is your only warning.") to be a threat to myself. I asked a question on the DRV page, and you could have answered it right there or left a message on my talk page. Instead, you engaged in a revert war and threatened people. Also, attacking God of War serves no purpose. --Fang Aili 20:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Far from unilateral, this decision is supported by several administrators. It's the continued filibustering that is disruptive. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 21:00, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Kruskal tree theorem?
Redirecting K's Tree Theorem to K's algorithm seems a mistake. His tree theorem states that embedding between finite trees is a well-quasi-ordering, which has no connection with spanning trees and finding the smallest one. We should have a stub article on the tree theorem. I am currently working on a wqo article and would like to link to a K tree theorem article, even in stub form. PhS 20:17, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I remember what happened: There already was a redirect from Kruskal's_Tree_Theorem ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Kruskal's algorithm. For some reason the page on Kruskal's tree theorem (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) turned out to attract loads of vandalism. There never was any proper content there. At some point I made it into a redirect along the same lines as Kruskal's Tree Theorem. Please go right ahead and change Kruskal's tree theorem (which is the MOS compliant title) into a proper stub. I'll then adjust the redirect from Kruskal's Tree Theorem. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 20:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
TfD
Let me direct: the number of userbox nominations that come to TfD is becoming needlessly large, and many of them have your name on them. Feb 10 is a good example: the outcomes are obvious before the nomination even begins; they will either be no consensus or speedy (occasionally a redirect), but rarely a useful outcome from the debate itself. I'm no longer taking the time to close the debates or remove tags. There's no point. Just the other day, I took a pretty hard line on a user who nominated 15 (yes, fifteen) in one massive spate, but had not realised that you had nominated 10 (ten) on the 10th. I think a different solution needs to be found, and TfD needs to be left to get on with what it does. Which is not to carp about things that carping about will achieve little to nothing. -Splashtalk 00:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- I more or less agree. The only recent problem is that people keep removing CSD notices, which means we either have to take it to TfD or be bold. I think the worst is behind us now. I doubt that the 11th and onwards will be as cluttered. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 00:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't "warn" me about anything again: I can make any suggestions to other users that I like. --Mal 10:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- Don't warn me either MarkSweep. A couple days ago when you got upset with my anti-bush userbox I assumed misguided good faith in you, but right now I am having trouble. This reeks of authoritarianism of the worst kind. Then when I try to point this out with my no wiki-police state userbox you delete it in minutes. I'm sorry, but this has got to stop. You and the other deletion-happy admins need to cool down and listen to what the community is saying. The Ungovernable Force 11:21, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

- Don't take it up with me, take it up with me along with all the other admins who supported their deletion. The Bush templates are gone. You're still in denial, and the best thing for you to do would be to go directly to acceptance. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 18:45, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Can you please explain policies upon which you have speedied {{User freedom}}? Expressing opinions on one's own page is certainly not disrupting anything, so WP:POINT doesn't qualify. And WP:DICK doesn't seem like a policy at all. Thank you. Misza13 (Talk) 17:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- It's simply provocative and increasingly inaccurate. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 18:45, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- "Simply", you say? For me it is not that simple. I don't see what provocative about it. It only states an opinion and the only thing that it (and other similar UBXes) so far seems to provoke is it's unjustified deletion by authoritarian admins. The phrase "increasingly inaccurate" I can't understand - can you be more elaborate. BTW: By comparing your above comment with the original deletion summary one can notice that you aren't really sure about reasonability of the deletion. I'd like then to ask you to undelete it and, if you wish so, start a proper discussion on WP:TfD. Speeding templates (or any content at all!) without firm (and I mean rock-solid) reasons is just abusing the admin powers - not to mention that user pages with redlinks simply look ugly.

- Can you stop speedily deleting things that "simply' appear divisive to you? I'm tempted to simplyspeedily delete your page because it appears divisive to me... :p SLOW DOWN, you're pissing a LOT of people off with your vandalism. Mostlyharmless 19:43, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- Your deletions are baseless. I don't see how userboxes harm you, It's not like we are plastering them all around articles. --CFIF 19:45, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
