- Thanks for helping out there...sad thing is, what this guy is spamming has to do with some of my very favorite music...for about a month, I went to sleep every night listening to a couple of albums from the period being documented. Frustrating; we've given these people a good route to doing it right, and they simply say "we know better because we're Brazilian". --jpgordon::==( o ) 16:07, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

few years ago(Jesus, it was more than 10! Life is racing by...) (my wife is a fan and took me with her). Not really my type of music, but even I was deeply impressed. Yeah, at some point we have to throw our hands up and say "Enough is enough. When you're ready to act like an adult, we'll be here, ready to talk. Until then, yes, you are essentially censored." --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:16, 30 August 2012 (UTC)- Where did you see him? We saw him around 2003 in San Francisco. Just him and guitar. --jpgordon::==( o ) 17:05, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- At a university in the Boston area; I've been trying to count backwards to figure out the year, but my memory is fuzzy. Yes, just him and a guitar. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sir You are experiencing a tremendous misunderstanding between us. I have tried to demonstrate that as a producer and entrepreneur John for 25 years I have information that improve the entry in the encyclopedia. It has been difficult to be understood and accepted, I still can not understand why. I tried to include in the entry information concerning the passage of Joao in Japan I imagine that it matters to the fans. A list of the key facts of the artist's career in the 25 most recent years of its history, I also seem relevant. Enter the website we have developed with texts and images of the artist, like no other website on the internet, also seems appropriate for the encyclopedia. But what we had? Misunderstanding, debates, demands. And you are fans of Joao .. For example, in the Amazon we are accredited to administer the biography, here on Wikipedia are treated as spam. Gentlemen, how can we change this? How can we get our information published?--189.60.164.201 (talk) 01:16, 7 September 2012 (UTC) I feel very proud to have produced and touted the shows that you refer and brought so much pleasure. Now I would like to ask you in order to help improve the information in your encyclopedia entry. I refer to two texts: a chronology of recent 25 years, and the data about the passing of Joao by Japan. Is it possible?--189.60.164.201 (talk) 10:01, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- My talk page isn't the place to have this conversation;
you should post to the article talk page insteadactually, I see you've posted to the article talk page too, that's the place to discuss this. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:49, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
I think this is one of the clearest cases of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT I've ever seen. --jpgordon::==( o ) 23:20, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, it's beginning to look that way. I also just saw Miúcha, which I guess I'll try to deal with when I have more time, possibly tomorrow. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:22, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
my apology
I am the one to apology here. My reaction to the block was over to the top and not correct. In a civilized world we discuss and talk without verbal aggression or inappropriate language. You did what you had to do based on the info and situation. Thanks and lets just work to make Wikipedia a better and better project, including João's page. user:lfcohen —Preceding undated comment added 14:45, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- I saw this yesterday, but forgot to reply. Thanks for this. No worries from me, I know being blocked is stressful. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:18, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
my point of view
I beg permission to enjoy what LCohen said, and agreeing with him in relation to civilized behavior should emphasize the value of independence and freedom. The greatest value of the civilized world is freedom and thus, preventing the free access and free circulation is the main executioner of value. For my part I have nothing to apologize, I think we have braked a confrontation fair and honest, I do not see why i should simply accept what i disagree, mainly because I see in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, an opportunity that we have, all of improve it and make it really an instrument in the service of communities. My identity and achievements are displayed on my site and have the social responsibility that I have legitimately manifest here. I sincerely hope that we can move forward and understand my motivation is honest.--189.60.164.201 (talk) 13:22, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Arbitration motion regarding User:EncycloPetey

Good call
[1]. I was watching as well. Drmies (talk) 23:34, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have started blocking obvious trolls and vandal-only accounts with talk page and email access removed right away, to reduce the amount of timewasting involved in pointless unblock requests. I'm open to feedback if you think that's too aggressive. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:36, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Voldyworthy
You neat me too it by an edit conflict. You realise of coiurse that he's almost 99.9% sure to be a sock of Anderson. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:40, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know enough about Anderson to know that. I just know there was a 0.00001% chance of useful edits in the future. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:48, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for all the edit conflicts, but the editor was incredibly abusive. I could have restored your decline but wasn't sure if you wished me to. More important, I'm inclined to extend the block. Any opinion on whether to do that and, if yes, for how long? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:28, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- I'm slightly more forgiving than most when editors spout off on their talk page right after they're blocked; I wouldn't lengthen it myself, though that's probably a minority viewpoint. However, I'm slightly more harsh than most people when editors don't rapidly gain clue, so if they come back after the block as disruptive as they have been so far, I'm inclined to block indef next time, and they can find out how they need to behave and then request an unblock. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:38, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
that's a feature, not a bug
I understand the phrase. I have no clue what it has to do with this situation. The user still doesn't get it, but good on you for restoring the rights before they have a chance to gain the clue. --Onorem♠Dil 17:30, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
- Are you asking for an explanation, or did you just want me to read this? --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:01, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

The Admin's Barnstar is awarded to Floquenbeam who went through a tedious discourse and took what I think is a particularly difficult decision. Please do not retire. What am I going to do without admins like you? (No offense to others) Mrt3366(Talk?) 17:49, 11 September 2012 (UTC) |
Rude Comment
I noticed you accused me of 'whining' on the AN so therefore I will open a complaint case against you at AN. --Niàobùmíxìn (talk) 00:58, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, that will work well. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:00, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Good call with the block. Good lord, it's been a while since I've had one of these encounters. I should've probably dropped it sooner. Oh well. – Connormah (talk) 01:11, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Sometimes you only recognize trolling in retrospect. I was clear at ANI that I wasn't referring to you, right? If not, sorry, I should have been clearer. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:15, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Good call with the block. Good lord, it's been a while since I've had one of these encounters. I should've probably dropped it sooner. Oh well. – Connormah (talk) 01:11, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- No you were perfectly clear, it's my fault for taking the bait or being too AGF-y. Oh well, lesson learned, time to move on. – Connormah (talk) 01:18, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Need information on policy
I need some clear information/confirmation (feedbacks from stalkers are also welcome):
- Does an image have to be at least "1024x768 pixels" (or in short, have to be of featured quality) to be eligible for inclusion in a Featured Article? I know the larger it is, the better and all of that but my question is can an image of dimensions, say, 672 × 480 pixels be eligible for inclusion in a Featured Article? Is there a policy that explicitly dictates that images have to be of this size or meet some other criteria (in terms of quality) for being eligible to be included in a featured article?
- Does anybody have the right to arbitrarily (or rather autocratically) dictate "protocols" (not to mention that will cause confusion and obfuscate a simple issue) on the talk page of a Featured Article which others, according to him, should abide by, before voting or proposing anything??
This sort of autocratic thinking actually perturbs me. I understand best-quality is preferable, but what I am asking is that is it mandatory? I know there is a good intent behind all this but can a protocol like this be imposed on others or made mandatory in one article by a minority of editors, under the current policies of wikipedia? Mrt3366(Talk?) 11:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- I am aware of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images & Wikipedia:Image use policy. Is there anything else that corroborates this severity when it comes to FAs? Mrt3366(Talk?) 11:13, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know anything about FA requirements for images. If this is an actual honest content-related question, you could ask at WT:FA. If this is part of an ongoing battle, then don't take it to WT:FA, because FA is a part of actual quality encyclopedia building, and they shouldn't have to put up with crap. --Floquenbeam (talk) 12:17, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Request
This User_talk:Mrt3366 is reverting the good faith edits in the page Human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir, inserting pov templates, putting <· ··!> in the text to hide information. When asked to restrain he argues and uses harsh words. My request is kindly take a look on the history section, talk page and on the article and act accordingly, so that the encyclopaedic values of the article are not lost. Thank you sir. MehrajMir ' (Talk) 11:38, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Nothing disgusts me more than an edit warrior whining that someone reverted his reverts, except perhaps for an edit warrior smelling blood because an enemy has recently run into trouble, and thinking they can take advantage of an enemy's unrelated problems to "get" them. Mrt3366 appears to have reverted you once, with a descriptive edit summary. You had just reverted him, with no edit summary. This is, of course, not how grownups would collaboratively create an encyclopedia article, but it is par for the course here on controversial subjects, and the templated warnings you give each other are silly. There is no way I'm getting involved in that quagmire, I have no opinion of who is wrong and who is right in the underlying content dispute, it is a subject I know nothing about, and for the most part people like you deserve having to deal with each other. But I'll tell you what: the next time you revert someone with no rationale, and then "report" them after they revert you once, I will block you for a month. --Floquenbeam (talk) 12:13, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Wondering about the template on this user talk...
Came across this IP's talk page today[2] and noticed it has a 'schoolblock' template on it placed there in March 2012. I ran a couple of 'WhoIs' checks and did some Google research and so far as I can tell, this IP is not a school/library/etc, but maybe I'm missing something? Since you were the admin who placed the 'schoolblock' template on this IP's talkpage, I was thinking you might want to take a look at their Whois and let me know what I missed. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 18:41, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
- You didn't miss anything, i just used the wrong template. I've replaced it with {{anonblock}}. Thanks. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:59, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Look at your own diff, you diff.
You're own diff shows there was no edit war, but instead the proper form of editing. 1)I had made an addition to an article (as an IP, which is not an offense, even though you seem to think so with your rude comments, you jackass (per community response to user Malleus using swearing to insult an editor is ok if they did something to make you mad, so it's ok for me to do that). 2)Logical Cowboy, who I was in a dispute with somewhere else, decides to remove the information. 3)I revert his undoing. 4) he reverts my revert, calling it vandalism. 4) I go to his page and let him know that vandalism is intentionally trying to hurt the encyclopedia and that is not what I was doing, and secondly that he's wrong about there not possibly being "alot of businesses" in a small community of less than 150 (6 gas stations, 5 hotels, 3 restaurants, and 5 fast food restaurants (and much more) sounds like alot in 1 sq mile to me) At what point was that an edit war, let alone breaking 3RR? It sounds like normal editing to me. Apology please?Camelbinky (talk) 22:37, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
