Welcome to my talk page. If you've come to complain, whine, moan, question my judgment, my intelligence, my sanity, or tell me off in any way, that's fine. I'm a big girl who can take it. If you've come to chat, compliment me, have a laugh, or discuss articles that's even better.Image:Theresa Knott Sig.gif

User:SLJCOAAATR 1 is following me around

Since his block ended: he has posted nearly everywhere I have. I remove a tiny bit of information from an article, he reverts it in a matter of minutes. I post on a talk page: he posts nearly right away with an arguement. I feel he is just trying to stir up trouble, and needs to leave me alone. In the case of the reverts: I see it as a bit of ownership, because he thinks his view on notability is the way to go. I shouldn't have to be stalked by this user, just because he has a clear grudge against me. He doesn't agree with my edits, and decides to lash out on me in talk page posts. Perhaps I'm being a bit paranoid, but I feel he doesn't need to instantly reply to each and every comment of mine, just to argue with me. I clearly know he wont agree with much on me, I don't need to see a new post about it. RobJ1981 (talk) 01:48, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

big shocker!!! rob is acusing some person of stalking him (AGAIN!), and yet one more person is told to stay away from rob. rob is always the victim. i think thats now 50 people that have to syat away from rob. must be nice to have admin to cry to every five mintes. rob should be renamed doesnotplaywellwithoters1981! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.199.145.21 (talk) 13:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
You are posting on pages in which he is clearly interested and almost certainly has on his watchlist so talking of stalking is OTT in my opinion. Never the less I have asked him to stay clear of you for a few days to calm things down a little. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 08:04, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
So now, I can't work on the articles that I normally work on?... -.- Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 16:35, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
I didn't say that. I asked you to steer clear of RobJ1981 for a few days that's all. There is no need to immediately reply to his posts on a talk page for example. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 17:38, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Thing is, I'm on like, 10 hours a day, and I get pretty bored, so, whenever I see that someone is on, I reply right away, I'm not the type person to be all "Oh, look, someone repled, I'll a week..." lol. Y'know what I'm saying? Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 17:45, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes I do and I'm telling you not to do it to him! He has accused you of stalking him for crying out loud. So don't do it. He's not your mate. Leave him alone. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 17:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Fine, though, I don't get why he keeps saying I'm trying to fight him...I told him to calm down, and out of that he gets "He's stalking me." and "He's trying to fight me." I mean, I replyed to both of you cmments here rather fast, does that mean I'm stalking you? No. Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 18:05, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 20:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Rob is such a peach!! please see his disruptive behavior vs skeletal, he has a long history of poor behavior and as been talkt to many time by admin. Not assuming good faith

accusing skeletal of own (not to mention stalking)

undoing others edits with no reason in edit summary

but please donnt tell rob to behave. he only has several rfc's, wikiquette alerts and ANI's and a ban against him. but somehow it is always other guy!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.198.252.151 (talk) 14:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Please stop following Rob around SLJCOAAATR. I've reverted your edit at his talkpage. I'm pretty sure this IP is yours. D.M.N. (talk) 15:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Is this 3RR violation?

Since we (I and Sennen goroshi) can not leave a message to each other's talk page or edit article at the same time, how could we warn 3RR if one is engaging in a edit warring with others? Sennen picked up a similar article with which I edited.2008-08-06T20:55:28 my edit on dog meat. Sennen goroshi's edit warring on Bosintang (dog meat soup) I'm not sure whether it is a 3RR violation because I consider adding something first without a consensus is "reverting". There is no discussion on this at the talk page of bosintang. Why do I bother to report this because I feel he still select similar articles that I previously edit before like these.Comfort womenProstitution in South KoreaProstitution in South Korea--Caspian blue (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

"how could we warn 3RR if one is engaging in a edit warring with others?" You don't. You stay away from him not getting involved in any way. He is entitled to edit similar articles to you. If he edit wars on them, that is none of your business. Others will deal with it. No need for you to get involved. Please do not check his contributions. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 15:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, you did still tell me that these diffs are a 3RR violation or not. That is what I want to know. 3RR reports are often filed by uninvolved parties as he did to me as well. The above diffs prove that he is "checking on my contribution history first". Besides, you will see that the articles he edits recently have time stamps of me some times ago. Therefore, I automatically get to know his activities on articles on my "watchlist". So that is MY business. In order to avoid meeting him at the same time, I have to carefully check my watchlist and article history.--Caspian blue (talk) 15:27, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

DO NOT FILE A 3RR report on him. What is it about leave each other alone that you find so difficult to comprehend? Stay away from him. Watchlist stuff is really easy. if he edits and it comes up on your watchlist, then obviosly you should not for 5 days. Easy. Stay away from him. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 15:31, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

If I have an intention to file a 3RR report on him, I would not bring this up to you. He knows 3RR rule quite well and 3RR warning is actually up for newbies. I just want you to warn him not to make disruptive edit wars and still checking on me and following me. Nevertheless, I believe he violated 3RR on the article similar to dog meat that I edited. However if I were in a similar situation, I'm pretty sure that he would file on me per our long history.--Caspian blue (talk) 15:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
If he is editing disruptively then other admins can deal with that. Although no one is likely to agree with your interpretation of the 3RR. A first edit isn't a revert. I am confining my self to making sure that he doesn't stalk you. But you make this very hard if you don't steer clear of him. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 15:51, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Oh thank you for clarifying the notion of 3RR. That helps me. However, every time I edit some article, I have to check to see if I miss his edit on it within 5 days, so you make me have imperative ideas (of course, you think both are responsible for that probaton)--Caspian blue (talk) 15:57, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I did not know that you archived the talk page, well, I think we're done on this conversation.--Caspian blue (talk) 16:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I understand. Still try your best not to even think of him. Before you know it things will have calmed down and you won't even need it. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:03, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Tucker Max

Hi Theresa. I don't object if you wish to shorten Aharon42's block. My main concern is that he was edit-warring to include material that seems to violate WP:BLP. Aharon42 needs to be willing to follow our high standards for WP:BLP articles. EdJohnston (talk) 14:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Ringo Star

Be advised that I have reverted your changing of this article to a redirect to Ringo Starr. AFD procedings are still underway, and such an article cannot be moved or deleted in this way until a consensus is reached. If consensus results in a decision to delete the content and make it a redirect, then this can be done afterwards. But in order for an AFD to be viable, the article in question needs to remain accessible. 23skidoo (talk) 14:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

OK I'm fine with that. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:12, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Out of line

No, I'm not. I posted a welcome message because he didn't have one, he responded in a rude and aggressive manner, so I will treat him with the same level of respect I recieved, and will continue to do so, everytime he makes contact with me. Chafford (talk) 15:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 15:59, 9 August 2008

(UTC)

In your own words Theresa: There is no nice way of saying this, so I'm going to be blunt, you're wrong, I saw the case on ani, I posted a welcome on his talkpage, he hadn't recieved one, and I thought it would help by outlining policies and making him feel less stressed through seeing a freindly addition to his talkpage, instead, I recieve a paragraph of accusations and personal attacks, so I will treat him with the same level of courtesy. None.

I requested talkpage protection so he would be forced to sit his block through and not spew out further accusations. Chafford (talk) 16:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

If you don't like what he was saying you could have simply stopped going to his talk page. Newbies are allowed to spew out accusations, he wasn't a vandal, he wasn't ranting, He was angry. Instead of trying to calm him down you got angry too! Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:10, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Either way, I don't accept being treated like a peice of shit by a new user, there was no need for his anger to be directed towards me, I did nothing wrong. Chafford (talk) 16:13, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
I know. But being angry and being rude to you isn't treating you like a piece of shit. Like I said, you know he was angry when you went to the page. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:16, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm angry now, I'm not spewing out abuse at you, so what exactly gives Aharon the right to be abusive? Chafford (talk) 16:34, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
I not saying that he has a right to be abusive. I'm saying cut him some slack and don't make things worse. You went to his talk page after all. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

On a side note. Please don't go after people just because you see them on my talkpage. Even if I have angered you. S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. is far from perfect but he has done nothing to you so templating his talk page and reporting his username serves which purpose exactly. Note that none of the people who work on the articles he edits have found his username confusing, so why do you? Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Theressa, for helping to try to make him a better user. I admit that I am far from perfect, but, there's no need to threaten me, and my friends because we talk to each other on our user talk pages. Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 19:42, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Skeletal's use of WP as MySpace

Hi Theresa. I had a run in with User talk:SLJCOAAATR 1 and posted the following: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#WP_seemingly_used_as_a_social_network. I thought you might like to comment as you have dealt with them recently. Thanks for you insight and opinions. -- Alexf42 20:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Audio links - I don't understand

Hello. I've noticed that you've removed the links I'd made to a free source of audio texts in French. I'd like to understand : those links add something to these articles, to my mind. Not only for the blind, but for those who want to have an access to the original versions, or who want to improve their French instructively. Moreover, litteratureaudio is the librivox of France : in all his aspects, it's a similar project. You seemed to approve the links to the latter, so I thought you approve it to the former... for french texts... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaiffelet (talkcontribs) 20:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

To be honest i was highly suspicious of you adding so many all at once. You have no other contributions to wikipedia and I suspect that you are involved in litteratureaudio and are here to promote it. That's why I reverted you. You might find the the French Wikipedia will accept the links but for the English one a recording of the french text has little value for the majority of our readers. Having said that I am but one person's opinion. Why not try suggesting the link on the article's talk pages and see if the editors of those articles agree to add them in. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:07, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm a french wikipedian, and I've done a lot of contributions there. The links are presents there, and very well accepted. I've participated at the wikisonore project (on wikisource), but it failed - we were a few implied in it in France. But we success with litteratureaudio, and we have so many foreigners interested that I believe it a good idea to make them know that resource exists. Gaiffelet (talk) 21:21, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I think important to add that litteratureaudio is an association without any lucrative purpose. Gaiffelet (talk) 21:23, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

OK fair enough. If you readd i will not revert although someone else might so i still think it would be a good idea to take it to the article talk pages. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:28, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

"to take it"... You mean : each link I proposed ? Gaiffelet (talk) 21:44, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes I mean go to the talk page of each article and suggest adding the link you want for that page. See what people say. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok. That's a good idea. I'll do this later. It wasn't my way of doing on the french wikipedia, because I knew the moderators in the philosophical district. But that's not the case here... I'm new :-) Good night !Gaiffelet (talk) 22:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Could you please help me?

Today I've been blocked for using Wikipedia as a MySpace, then I got unblocked and all the userboxes I've made got deleted (including the pictures that came with them) for routine clean. Which, to me, doesn't seem like a good reason to delete someone's userboxes. Come to my home page and you'll see. Unknown the Hedgehog 20:28, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

She's aware of the fiasco. Here's two of Unknown's. I'll get the others.
  This user hopes there's a Super Mushroom inside.
This user thinks that Shadow the Hedgehog is the greatest Sonic Character.

Think you could do all of mine as well, Theresa? Be warned, there's a good 30+ of them. Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. Soul 20:36, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Ill keep my answer short. No. Instead of worrying about stupid userboxes, you should concentrate on writing an encylopedia. I will take no part in helping restore things that i have always considered a huge waste of time. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 22:20, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

an accident

I do realise that there is a 5 day period which caspian and myself should wait before editing an article, edited by the other. Today caspian edited an article about 1 minute after I did, and in all fairness, I imagine that it was a mistake on his part, due to my name not being on the edit history when he started his edit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Korea_under_Japanese_rule&action=history

I know he and I have had history, but I am not so petty as to wish to see him blocked from editing, from what I assume was an innocent mistake on his part.

Sennen goroshi (talk) 12:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

fair enough. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 23:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Certainly, I did not realized it until I got a message from Sennen goroshi on my talk page.[1] Well, first of all, I was surprised to get this message because we can't leave a message at each other's talk page that would cause a block to a person who violated the rule. Secondly, when I edited the article, I surely checked on the history to see if his name there and could not find him. He was 1 minute fast before me during my editing the article. Technically, we both broke the rule accidentally, but I don't know how you would deal with this.--Caspian blue (talk) 12:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


Sennen goroshi please don't post on Caspian blue's talk page. Even for something like this. Caspian blue, please don't edit the article for now.That's the only action that I think needs to be taken this time Theresa Knott | The otter sank 23:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Abusive user

Theresa, I have a complaint against User:Straight_Edge_PXK. First at this post he calls anyone who disagrees with him "f*ing idiots." Secondly, In the section below that I provided sources (third party reviews) for the alternative-rock claims that other people were unable to provide. Based off of this, I made the appropriate changes in the article, and he is now edit-warring and reverting any change I make. Will you please have a look? Thanks!

Theresa, I see Tan is already talking to him about his post (after I made this complaint) so I'm going to post this on his talk instead. Please disregard or handle as you see fit, and thanks for your time. Wikiwikikid (talk) 15:29, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
