Clones? How should I deal with these people?

These users uniformly present their views in Armenian Genocide(see talk) once one is quiet a new one pops in for my conviniance. They have a distuptive attitide and I do not know how to deal with it. I am open for suggestions on how I should proceed. Users in question are: THOTH, Davenbelle, Stereotek, Fadix.

I am not sure how to aproach the issue as this is being very time consuming. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 22:56, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Mark. I'm not sure why the "Coolcat" brought this up with you. He is the one with the disruptive attitude, IMO (and others', I expect). I, for one, am nobody's sock. "Coolcat" is very focused on Armenian Genocide denial and has presented himself has a "mediator" on a number of pages on which he has a strong Turkish-POV; see also: Talk:Greco-Turkish relations, Talk:Nagorno-Karabakh as well as Talk:Armenian Genocide. — Davenbelle 01:32, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

Well, these guys are acusing me of things, refering to personal attacks, are currently trying to get me banned, and other various irritating actions, I am not sure how to deal with them, they are monitoring all my actions. Whenever i post something somewhere I gen this kind of posts almost immidiately. I do not know how to deal with these people and I need help. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 01:08, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That's disgusting, Coolcat has done it again with his lies against members. I am ready for the administration, or the owner of Wikipedia to research my IP address or whatever they want. I have nothing to hide. NOTHING!!! If I wanted to hide something, I'll do like Coolcat, I'de claim to be a neutral non-Turk, non-Armenian. I have enough of Coolcat posting in members pages, he has been allerting countless numbers of members lying ahbout other members and talking on their backs. This guy has been POVing under the banner of neutrality every unimaginable entries directly or indirecly involving Turkey. Fadix 01:49, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Another quick questin, where can I report personal attacks of Fadix, whenever I post anything regarding him, he pops in. He has had enough of me asking for help as he continues to post personal attacks like, me being a troll, how biased I am, that I have a hiddenagenda and more, I know it is distastefull, I asked him countless times to stop, he seems to be incapable. Where should I reprot the matter, I have no experience with personal attack resolution before Fadix, I was lucky enough to have "clean" discussions. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 01:20, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I have stolen your "My talk" motife. :) --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 01:22, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

re: Email

I've added it in my preference. Fadix 02:50, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Re: IRC channel

Oh.. I didn't think anyone would notice my absence! Your question is a good one, but I'm not sure I can summon an adequate answer. It seemed to me that the channel had become ever more hostile since the new year. Whenever I logged on there was some argument boiling over, and even during non-argumentative exchanges there seemed to be a higher than expected level of snark. Users who I do find are affable (such as yourself) seemed to be dwindling in number, or else I kept missing their appearances due to my wacky schedule. Added to that was the subtle (but seemingly constant) denigration of GLBT peoples by a certain user (don't know if he's still around), and the temporary death of enrc. So two incentives to log on (enrc and cordial conversation) were gone, leaving a strong incentive to stay away (hostility). This is, of course, my POV only. I was going to blame my absence on meatspace problems and my attempts to focus on content creation; while these are also factors, they're comparatively minor ones.

Anyway, I hope school and life in general has treated you kindly as of late. You certainly look dapper in that suit, if I may say so. :) Thanks muchly for the nudge, -- Hadal 04:43, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Perth Aerial Image

Hi Mark, I was wondering where you found the aerial image of Perth you used for the Perth page. I'm working on the Perth WikiProject and thought it might be interesting to show the boundaries of the local councils (and eventually the suburbs). If you know of anything suitable or can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated, I've been looking through the NASA site but can't find anything for Perth. Thanks, Meesham 07:10, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Cookie

Hello! Thanks for the cookie. I must admit, I am not very active with my administrative roles in Wikipedia, and I am not very familiar with the Wikipedia IRC channel. However, this does not mean I am not active in the Wiki community!

Merci Beaucoup!! -- Earl Andrew - talk 08:19, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Contemptible

Your message was in fact beneath contempt. You should be ashamed. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Sneaky tabs on IRC

Hey! Chatzilla was messing with me! I'm sorry, Mark, I never saw the tab you opened on me, I just discovered it now. Apparently, when there are more tabs, they don't shrink like in a browser, they just disappear out of sight away to the right. :-( I did not know that. Thanks for your message. No, not any too funny, I thought. --Bishonen|Talk 14:37, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

WP:AN/3RR

I don't know what you are doing that broke /3RR by duplicating a large chunk of text, but please avoid doing so! Until you have the problem figured out, after making a change please look at the history and do a "diff" to make sure that the change you actually made was the change you thought you made. (And I hope the same problem isn't happening with any articles you have worked on!) In fact, you might want to do that on all changes anyway - I always do, just to check. Noel (talk) 16:19, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think it's an occasional bug in the software that happens randomly to many people. — Matt Crypto 16:27, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If you clicked on the section header, yeah, that's definitely a software bug. Wierd. Anyway, no problem, luckily I caught it before anyone else had editied, so it was easy to fix. But if it is a common big (per Matt), an ever better reason to check diffs! Noel (talk) 16:39, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Request

Hi Borofkin. I was wondering if you could explain this edit of yours to me? - Mark 07:22, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ahhh, I was wondering if anyone had noticed that. It's a tonge-in-cheek and very POV reference to how our current immigration policy seems to be at odds with values such as freedom, justice, and equality. I could have also linked "fair go" to White Australia policy, for example. - Borofkin 07:25, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

anon

an anon user 210.50.80.19 recently altered content on my user page (i would say it amounted to vandalism). the IP is very similar to some used by user:PSYCH. i wonder if this breaches PSYCH's personal attack ban from the arbitration. see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/PSYCH.

Hiding images

Hi. How long is this hiding of images going to last? It's been more than a month since you protected Template:Message box and I would like to edit it. —Cantus…☎ 04:36, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I cannot revert back to the version with the image because the page is still protected. Can you unprotect it? Thanks. —Cantus…☎ 22:56, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

Solana

Please do not revert Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Cumbey. How dare you? I have reverted back and reported your action at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. It seems to me you are just trying to subvert the legitimate Rfc process. Why? --SqueakBox 16:46, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC) I have no idea who asked you to remove the new work at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Cumbey. Was it Cumbey herself. Here Cumbey, at her static IP address, removed the text from the request for comment. Please can I have an explanation of your revert, --SqueakBox 17:39, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC) Perfectly reasonable explanation received. Have a nice day, --SqueakBox 15:00, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
