Shell, in answer to your question, I [[Straw man|didn't think the edit was 'nefarious']]. It just suggests that you have a relationship with one party cozier than your claim for neutrality would indicate. I think the tone and manner you have chosen to interact with me are also is evidence of where you stand. It's fine to have an opinion, as I do ... but claiming neutrality is where you go off. Like I said, I don't think you are corrupt. It's just that not everyone is capable of dealing with this kind of situation. You live and learn. Regarding your history of favorable decisions ... well, this has been my impression; but it's only an impression not a statistical database. If you'd like to compile a list of your EE actions since 2009 I'd be interested in seeing it. Regarding how I'm trying to protect Wikipedia. I'm trying to protect it from abusive editing and bullying gangsterism pursued in the furtherance of ideological goals. This is what Piotrus has done in the past (in addition to the many good things he's done). Since I am almost certainly the most knowledgeable non-eastern European admin in the area, I'd be surprised if any 'neutral' editor called for the gagging order you are calling for ... which is a kind of self-lobotomy for the 'Pedia. Anyway, hope I answered your queries. :) All the best, [[User:Deacon of Pndapetzim|Deacon of Pndapetzim]] (<small>[[User talk:Deacon of Pndapetzim|Talk]]</small>) 02:18, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

 Welcome to my Talk Page

I am retired, so if you're looking to contact me, please use the box over there --->

 Contact info
 So long and thanks for all the fish

Thank you for all of the warm wishes and generally nice thoughts sent in my direction. I have retired from all Wikimedia projects and turned in all my extra tools as a security measure (we all appreciate those now, don't we?). For those few of you who were disappointed at not getting a whole ton of gossip out of my explanation for leaving (and didn't think to ask me privately, duh) I can only offer this cartoon as penance. Best of luck to all of you and feel free to keep in touch (see above). Shell babelfish 11:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Query

Hi Shell -- do you remember this guy? Spinoza1111 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). He's back here, with quite a post, to say the least. Editing as an anon but using his real name; the three IPs are from Hong Kong and I don't have the slightest doubt it's him -- the style is certainly an exact match (see for example this talk page section from 2005). I'm planning to remove the section and block the IP, but my spidey-sense tells me this one may be trouble. Not sure why, but it just feels that way. Antandrus (talk) 04:11, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Holy from four years ago? I've just blocked another IP he came over with and Moreschi has semi'd the talk page since this banned user seems particularly determined to participate there. I've also left a note reminding him that he has to deal with the ban and how he can have it reviewed. It looks like he's using a variety of internet connections, so semi protecting anywhere he shows up is probably going to be the best way to handle things.

ping ;)

Hello, Shell Kinney. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

fyi, I've never had an AOL account!!!

Seriously, I've no idea what's going on in that case ;)

Cheers, Gold Hat (talk) 05:25, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AOL is ebil. I did get my mail though and I've responded to it (and put an updated note on the clarification). If the AC had taken on WWII, most of the participants would have died or gone off as bored before we came to a decision ;) Shell babelfish 05:37, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ACC

Thanks for approving my ACC tool request. I would just like to let you know that on the template you used to notify me, the link to the tool is outdated and broken. The tool is not at the "stable" server, it is now here [[1]]. Thanks again, and have a nice day. Krashlandon (talk) 17:10, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OOh - thanks for pointing that out, I didn't know the template never got updated. Shell babelfish 03:44, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Prod

Hi

I've just started editing and ended up working on the Unsourced BLPs. I came across this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Spencer_(musician). Would you be able to source it?

PS Weren't the Misunderstood a 60s band too "I can take you to the sun" was one of John Peel's favourites IIRC. Brainfood (talk) 11:13, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh that's an old one - an article creation request from quite some time ago before we were picky about sourcing. Looks like it has more problems than just sourcing - I'll see what I can do with it. Shell babelfish 11:23, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thanks. I see you deleted it! Have you read the Stephen King story Word Processor of the Gods (I think). Hope nothing happened to Kevin Spencer at the precise moment you pressed delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brainfood (talk • contribs) 21:50, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago Daily News images

Sorry, I should have made an edit summary, people don't normally care about them on images. Here are the terms for the Chicago Daily News collection at the Library of Congress. Those published before 1923 are public domain per US Law, but those published after can only be used under fair use guidelines. Kelly hi! 20:34, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gnoming my way through images from that source now, moving the free ones to the Commons and tagging the others. I'll use edit summaries on the non-free ones, and thanks much for the heads-up. Kelly hi! 21:04, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pittsburgh WP10 party

Hey! This is just a friendly reminder about the Wikipedia 10th anniversary celebration in Pittsburgh tomorrow. The meeting time has been moved up to 4:00 so that we can gather before the game starts and stake out places, and it may be a good idea to get there even sooner, if you can. Pittsburgh bars are likely to be a little crazy and very crowded. See you there!--ragesoss (talk) 02:15, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did work out in the end :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 06:39, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shell, in answer to your question, I didn't think the edit was 'nefarious'. It just suggests that you have a relationship with one party cozier than your claim for neutrality would indicate. I think the tone and manner you have chosen to interact with me are also is evidence of where you stand. It's fine to have an opinion, as I do ... but claiming neutrality is where you go off. Like I said, I don't think you are corrupt. It's just that not everyone is capable of dealing with this kind of situation.

If you'd like to compile a list of your EE actions since 2009 I'd be interested in seeing it. Regarding how I'm trying to protect Wikipedia. I'm trying to protect it from abusive editing and bullying gangsterism pursued in the furtherance of ideological goals. This is what Piotrus has done in the past (in addition to the many good things he's done). Since I am almost certainly the most knowledgeable non-eastern European admin in the area, I'd be surprised if any 'neutral' editor called for the gagging order you are calling for ... which is a kind of self-lobotomy for the 'Pedia. Anyway, hope I answered your queries. :) All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 02:18, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
