ad hominem ''attack''? Are you sure? Looks like a comment on your behaviour not your person. I'd let it go, and reflect on the wider stuff.--[[User:Joopercoopers|Joopercoopers]] ([[User talk:Joopercoopers#top|talk]]) 23:06, 11 July 2009 (UTC) |
Revision as of 23:06, 11 July 2009
Pull up a seat. Have a chat
Huh?
Mine was the last comment on Peter Damien's talk page before he pulled out his own plug. Do you think it was something I said? --nemonoman (talk) 02:31, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Beats me - I'm pretty hacked off with Peter about this. The idea had some legs - not as the radical agro group I think Peter alluded to, but as place for editors to gather and compare notes and think about or advocate improvements. Twitchy people didn't like the idea so it was plagued by an MfD an appeal to Arbcom and then an RfC - unfortunately they only saw Peter's radical proclamations, rather than the moderates calling for something quite benign, so he did nothing to help there - but I'm mostly hacked off about him marching a bunch of good editors onto the playing field, only to storm off with the ball in a huff. He's a good editor, but that's no way to behave. Was it something you said? erm no, fairly sure about that. --Joopercoopers (talk) 12:29, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think most of us were put in an awkward position - given Peter's apparently underlying agenda; which in retrospect seems to have been some sort of payback. I just wanted to have a forum in which to consult with and work through problems in league with others in varying fields of expertise. Although I'm a little relieved that he split. Peter's comments about admins was totally out of line...Modernist (talk) 12:54, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- No it was the comments at the RfC that did it. I really could not believe what was going on. I badly misjudged the mood of Wikipedia, where there clearly is no possibility of change. I deeply apologise. I am doing my best to give this up for good. It is entirely futile. Sorry to have dragged you all through this. Peter Damian (talk) 13:21, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Accepted. It would have been a courtesy to have explained that on your talk before blanking all the pages, but ok. --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:13, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Do we want change?

The issue you raised at Roma (Romani subgroup) has been extensively covered at the above article. If you would like to contribute, please do. However, Yahoo newsgroups might not be the most authoritative of references. Regards. RashersTierney (talk) 14:29, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Joop. Love the new 'upholstery job' on Beeblebrox's chart.;-) RashersTierney (talk) 22:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Saw it on your page - a nice addition to the decor I think. Any idea what happened to Mae West's Lips?--Joopercoopers (talk) 23:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, you've lost me. You mean the actual Girona sofa? RashersTierney (talk) 23:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- No - this was a glorious picture of my furnishings until some those brigand stole it this evening. I've alerted the authorities and the best they can do is tell me they'll look out for suspicious wikipedians with lip shaped swag bags. It's all very distressing......--Joopercoopers (talk) 23:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Aha - clues Msr Poirot. --Joopercoopers (talk) 00:00, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- Sincere condolences! Real bummer when the repo man calls. RashersTierney (talk) 00:09, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. The article Jean-Philippe Illanes was pretty much written like a blurb you would find on an art gallery's web page. There wasn't actually anything there that claimed notability, so I felt that it was eligible for speedy deletion. In my opinion the current deleted version is not salvageable, but I'm willing to restore it to the user's subpage if requested. ... discospinster talk 18:07, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: RfC
Thanks to the pointer to this page. I obviously had lost track of where this conversation had gone. -- llywrch (talk) 18:11, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
FYI test discussion system
Thought you might be interested in this, you mentioned in the past how you feel about the inadequate talk page system: http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2009/07/improving-wikimedias-discussion-system/. Sswonk (talk) 03:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Fantastic, thanks for offering! I've put in a request for a plan here with some links; let me know if you need more. Ideally, it'd mark the streets, chapel, hall, lodgings, fellows' library, fellows' garden and the Old Members' Building, since these are mentioned in the text. Best wishes, BencherliteTalk 12:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- This image isn't of great quality but has a scale at the top. I have a hard copy that I can scan and let you have on Monday if a better version would help. BencherliteTalk 14:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

ACPD pages created
I've created two initial pages for the ACPD:
- Wikipedia:Advisory Council on Project Development
- Wikipedia:Advisory Council on Project Development/Forum
Please add them to your watchlist, stop by, and so forth. The latter page has a couple of logistical issues that we should discuss sooner rather than later, so I'd appreciate if you could find some time to comment on them.
Thanks! Kirill [talk] [pf] 13:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
