Hi Calton. I've unblocked you per consensus at ANI. That consensus included the following provision: ''any further use of edit summaries to make any sort of disparaging comments about other editors will lead to another block''. FYI and regards. --[[User:RegentsPark|regentspark]] <small>([[User talk:RegentsPark|comment]])</small> 19:12, 13 March 2013 (UTC) |

- It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that.
Some ground rules before you leave a message
- I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
- This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
- If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Wikipedia guidelines or rules, note that Wikipedia is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
- There is no Rule 4.
- Don't post when drunk. Seriously.
- All communication sent via the "E-mail this user" link is considered public, at my discretion. Reasonable requests for confidentiality will be honored, but the whole "e-mail is sacrosanct and private" argument I do not buy for one solitary second. Do not expect to use that argument as an all-purpose shield.
- Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
- Don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. Do I look like Montel Williams? Do I? NO? Then don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams.
- Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
- Please post at the bottom of the page and "sign" your posts using the squiggly things (--~~~~).
- Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a No Smoking page.
- Thank you. -- The Management.

A barnstar for you!
The Barnstar of Diligence | |
I know you scrutinize many users that cause trouble, usually ones that cause real problems. For that I also find this award very much in-line with what you've been doing.
But, I'm going to briefly talk of the recent edit (though there have been editS, that's right with a capital "s" made by you, all correct in judgment) you enacted upon my user:Yogurtforthesoul Wiki homepage. Truthfully, today, for the first time if you will please forgive me I have finally learned that indeed you haven't edited and left me just ONE edit/talk; you've left me two really (though I made four total edits; one you edit was after I had revised my "homepage" three times, then I revised it again later on literally with no clue that I once had something there, which lead to the most recent--it was back in March of 2012 so don't feel sorry for not remembering it...I don't use that page very often). I can easily see why in fact you did change after looking at your user page; I'll eventually redo mine, but I will be far more careful and obey the guidelines. I do however have a favor to ask... Do you have a quick link handy that specifically dictates what can and cannot go on a user:"x" page? It would be helpful. I'm thankful for people like you that are around to keep Wikipedia clean and clutter free. I thought what I did was harmless, but I FULLY agree that if it doesn't follow the guidelines it must go and as you said (I posted some links to a few of my profile pages at various sites), "It is not a free web hosting service". This rings even MORE true with me as I am a very ardent contributer to Wikipedia's funds. It's one of the best things we have on the Internet and losing it would literally be an injury to all of us that use the Internet...a deep one. Again, you are the type of person due to your diligence and your unwavering ability to still deal out "equal justice" no matter who it is or nor matter how much they will cry and throw virtual temper tantrums; though I'm MORE than sure you've been targeted in real life as well... SO, take it from someone who you have edited, who you have rebuked...you ARE doing the right things. You are a great and valuable user for Wikipedia. So with that in mind I therefore deem you more than worthy of the Barnstar of Diligence. Again, I will endeavor to not draw your attention again, in the wrong way. Have a good day. Thanks, Kimball Eaton (user:Yogurtforthesoul) PS- If you want to know more about me look up yogurtforthesoul--VideoSift is a good place to start and a good community, if you're looking for a new experience. It's a "meta-Youtube" basically acting as a "video-aggregator" from across the entire web, which allows for very tightly controlled quality and a thoughtful community... I hope I didn't waste your time and you appreciated this, if you didn't I really am sorry. --I also hope I used the award system properly as I couldn't find any real rules on it immediately available. Though I TRULY believe whole-heartedly you deserve this! Yogurtforthesoul (talk) 20:19, 22 November 2012 (UTC) |
Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride on a 1 horse open sleigh! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P2ewVviUh8 JonnyBonesJones (talk) 16:51, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
AfD: Kevin Surace
Could you check up on your nomination of Kevin Surace to AfD? In the article itself, there's a redlink for "this article's entry" in the AfD box. I clicked on the link in your edit summary, and got a very weird phenomenon: rapid juddering of the page, suggesting some kind of feedback problem. Thanks.

Calton, seeing your recent post on Deicas' page I thought you might care to glance at a new essay about WP:AGF, which is a "behavioral guideline" that should perhaps be put out of its misery. Or at least the practice of linking to it, which is an umbrella for so much hypocrisy. I don't think most of the people who refer to it have actually read it. Bishonen | talk 01:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC).
I responded to your point
G'day Calton. I clarified what I meant by "friends" of Epeefleche. It's a bit buried in the drama, so here's the diff. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 01:44, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

- I assume you're following the discussion at AN/I but just in case you're not, I've stated there that I will immediately unblock if you will give a simple undertaking not to use the term "Buckwheat" in future when referring to fellow editors. No explanation or apology is necessary; I'm uninterested in the past, and your assurance about the future will be good enough for me. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 17:00, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Calton (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Seriously? Racist? This is beyond stupid. All right, I will not use the word "Buckwheat" -- no matter how bullshit the complaint is -- because some people find it offensive. Of course, being insta-blocked without even the chance to point out that the source should not be standard operating procedure]].
Accept reason:
Not the most gracious unblock request I've ever seen, but I believe Calton's assurance that this term will not be used again. Please consider carefully Calton whether other edge-pushing terms you might choose to use could also give offence. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 22:07, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
