Odd

"Admins" is plural but Jim is singular... er... anyway so I am a little confused when you mentioned a biography page. Who exactly would you be biographying? tyciol 10:29, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

You. Your user page is biographic, and would better suit an article format... other articles look a bit amateurish if they refer to notable people (such as yourself, within this context at least) by linking to accounts they have on this site. The Admins 22:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh okay, if you want to change my Tyciol redirect into an article I can't stop you, it would divide what I say about myself (on my userpage) versus a wiki-style information gathering on an article edited by many. I don't feel right creating it though as I don't feel particularly notable, I'll just intercede if I believe there are inaccuracies. I hope you'll allow me that courtesy at least, it's a lot more than ED/CSO/Wikispo/EU/.ch ever did. Ty 05:50, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

EU

European Union? I guess I don't really understand the significance of this, is someone in the process of writing that? Ty 19:10, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

It's a body that funds NGOs, so is of interest to NewgonWiki. The Admins 01:08, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

So, planning on making that page anytime soon? I don't really see it happening. In the mean time, we have Evil-Unveiled which could use it. If a Europe article comes up in the future I could always change a redirect into a disambiguation page right? Ty 20:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Quoting

About this, if we're going to have quotes, shouldn't we attribute them? Otherwise, anyone could just add a random quote. I could make one up and be all "hymen-breaking cures HIV" and unattributed it might be implied to come from some source we're criticizing. Ty 20:09, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Moving

Hi, haven't seen you active this September, still lurking? Anyway I have been trying to help out User:Dissident by categorizing the essays he has been adding. Unfortunately he seems to be having some trouble creating new pages, I think he's clicking any random red link he sees to open a blank page (such as articles which don't yet have talk pages) and using those to make his essays, and then using the 'move' command to retitle them. This creates a lot of havock in terms of navigation because people will click a talk page for a certain essay, but rather than bringing them to a conversation about a said page or essay as they would expect, it instead redirects to a whole new essay he has written.

He seems to be imbued with Bureaucrat/SysOp powers, I am not entirely sure why based upon the lack of experience in wiki editing that I have observed. I spoke sternly and issued a 2-hr warning ban based on this abuse of the 'move' function prior to realizing these ranks. I am concerned about potential repercussions now. Should I be banned in return or something, I hope you will keep in mind that I did that out of concern for what is best for wiki integrity. Also do you know if Pantheadoros or Jillium will be coming back? First hasn't been on since 09 and 2nd not since March this year. Ty 06:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
