Vert et Noir

Welcome to my talk page.

ALF logo

Hi Vert, just to let you know that your ALF logo seems not to have uploaded properly, in case you want to redo it. I've added a cleaner image of the logo to the page in the meantime. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 06:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks SlimVirgin. I tried about 3 times, to no avail. I'll try again tomorrow. Vert et Noir^talk 07:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Heads up on "State Terrorism by United States"

Hey, just wanted to let you know that a brief vote on the "State Terrorism by the United States" page would be welcome. Just a "Keep" is all that's needed -- the nationalists on the page are taking an up-or-down vote on whether to rename it.

Oh, joyous day to the infidels. Looks like it's been handled, but thanks for the heads up. I haven't logged in for awhile, but I should more frequently. Vert et Noir^talk 03:57, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I Asked Canaen for wiki-adoption and his answer was:"I would highly suggest asking my friend User:Vert et Noir " . :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kanibalos (talk • contribs)

That sounds like him. I would love to adopt you. Vert et Noir^talk 06:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for not signing ^^ , I posted when I woke up . Kanibalos 09:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

So about your questions:I started posting from the 24th April in the Anarchism in greece article because it was inflammatory and probably written by someone who really dislikes anarchists . As you said through research one learns lots of stuff and suddenly i was with a ton of stuff in my hands and having to learn all the wikipedia rules (about citations , image copyright, wikification etc). Add this to the fact that English is not my native language and you can come to the point where I am standing right now. So I would like some help about "style" and any suggestions about how to make my life easier in wikipedia . See you later gtg. Kanibalos 07:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Nobullshit.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Nobullshit.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Nobullshit.jpg fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

I uploaded it for a template which is no longer used. It's no longer needed.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Nobullshit.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:30, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Sociable

I just created the article Sociable, I was wondering if you would like to contribute.

Hey, not sure how much time you're spending around here these days, but some of us have thrown together an Anarchism Task Force to concentrate on improving anarchism-related articles. Feel free to drop in and contribute! Murderbike (talk) 05:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh god, that's got to be the worst acronym we could've come up with, haha. I'll check it out. I don't do much editing right now, but thanks for letting me know. I've been thinking there should be something like this for awhile now. Vert et Noir^talk 07:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Little late, but yeah, I came up with the shortcut, and pretty much just because I thought it would be childishly funny. Murderbike (talk) 05:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Photo: Rouge_clearcut.jpg

Hello Vert,

I was just doing a cleanup of Clearcut, and noticed your picture entitled Rouge_clearcut.jpg. The caption read: "Water rushing down a Rouge Valley slope in Alberta, Canada. This clearcutting action was done for the Hwy 407 East Partial extension rather than to facilitate the regrowth of a new stand". I was just curious about where you got the info on the shot because the Rouge Valley and Hwy 407 are in Ontario, not Alberta, and the picture sure doesn't look like a forest anywhere near the Rouge or hwy 407. It does look like Alberta, at the coordinates listed, however. It also doesn't show water rushing down a slope. Perhaps you could re-upload the image with the correct information attached or upload the Rouge valley image that fits closest with the caption? Cheers. BC (talk) 22:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Brian, my source was http://www.frw.ca/rouge.php?ID=29. If memory serves, I didn't know where on earth the Rouge Valley was, and searched for it on Wikipedia, and found that there was a Rouge Valley in Alberta. If you figure it's in Ontario, you're probably right. The Hwy 407 bit is straight from there. Vert et Noir^talk 07:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey Vert, Not a big issue; I was just curious. The shot on Clearcut looks somewhat like the image on http://www.frw.ca/rouge.php?ID=29 but if you look carefully, they aren't the same picture - different vegetation and one has the rushing water. The source website also refers to the Rouge valley near Toronto; in the area in Alberta where the clearcut shot was taken, there is no Rouge River. All the best. BC (talk) 17:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

They've changed the image on their page, it seems. That's the site I got the image from, not the information. The site does not mention where on earth the Rouge Watershed actually is, which was my problem. If you know of a Rouge Watershed, and it is in Ontario, near Toronto, and you know that Highway 407 runs nearby there, the image is almost definitely of a clearcut in the Rouge Watershed near Toronto. To be blunt, I pulled the info about it being Alberta out of my ass, simply because it seemed like the most likely Rouge Valley that Wikipedia had listed. That's it. You're probably right, and you should change it. Vert et Noir^talk 03:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ukrainian Revolution of 1918

Hi. Regarding your vote to keep Ukrainian Revolution of 1918: in case it isn't clear, I want to point out that that article is practically a copy-paste duplicate of the article Makhnovism, which ought to be removed because it is a content fork. The actual revolution in Ukraine, which started in 1917, is covered in Ukraine after the Russian Revolution. Regards. —Michael Z. 2008-04-30 04:27 Z

Talk:San Francisco burrito

Your recent contribution to Talk:San Francisco burrito was not appropriate. While you are very welcome to express your opinions, there is no need to attack other editors or resort to such incivil language. Not only does it significantly diminish the likelihood that your argument will be listened to, it also creates a hostile and unfriendly environment for all editors. Please try not to repeat this kind of behavior. Thanks, Gwernol 01:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for personal attacks and continued incivility. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

Gwernol 01:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

((unblock|Read below. Administrative abuse of power.)) User:Gwernol seems to have blocked me for disagreeing with him. This is an abuse of administrative power. I received a warning from [[User:Gwernol] for what he perceived as a personal attack. I argued with him about it. He then blocked me. Not mind you, for any other action, not for any more allegations of breach of wikipedia policy, simply after I spoke up on his talk page disagreeing with him. This is a clear abuse of administrative power. When did it become okay for administrators to play the role of totalitarian dictator? Vert et Noir^talk 00:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

This block appears to have expired; feel free to restore the unblock request if you remain unable to edit. In the meantime, I do encourage you to use more civil language in the future. As a community with diverse membership, it's important to bear in mind the potential effects of our words. – Luna Santin (talk) 00:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of whether or not the block remains in effect, and regardless of a past action, it remains that I was blocked by User:Gwernol for no reason other than he did not like me speaking up to him. This is not what Administrators are for. Vert et Noir^talk 00:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

You were blocked for making repeated personal attacks and breaching our policy on civility, as I explained to you before and in your block notice. You are welcome to pursue dispute resolution if you believe I have acted improperly. However, I'm afraid you don't get to pick and choose which of our policies you abide by. Administrators are here to enforce our policies when necessary, for example when they are repeatedly breached after warnings. Gwernol 00:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

You warned me once, and I disagreed with you. Then suddenly I'm blocked? That's not repeated personal attacks. That's Administrative abuse. Vert et Noir^talk 00:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I warned you once about your incivility at San Francisco burrito. You then left a message on my talk page denying the existence of WP:CIVIL and I warned you a second time. You were warned a third time by Viriditas for the personal attack on my talk page. You responded yet more incivility on my talk page and were blocked. Best, Gwernol 00:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

You warned me once. I disagreed with you. You insisted that I had indeed previously made a mistake, somehow breaching policy. That's not a second warning; that's you and I arguing. Viriditas seemed to chime in on your side of the argument. You blocked me. I still didn't do anything else after your first warning. I don't see how that calls for your blocking me, other than your being upset that I disagreed with you. That's not your job, and that's not how Wikipedia is run. Vert et Noir^talk 00:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I am not taking sides in this particular dispute, however, it is true from what I have seen that some administrators take their "power" and block people without proper warning and explanation of consequences if they continue. I think warnings need to be clear so there is no room for debate as to what is happening. People should have the freedom to disagree without fear of personal retribution on the part of the admin. in the form of a block. I have seen this more time than should be acceptable.
