From the creator

Oh look! It's a new blank userpage!

Don't have anything to say right now, but at least this is here in case someone wants to talk to me about an edit.

I know who you are :)

I'd have thought you'd write more about yourself :) You may want to move your above intro to your userpage (from this user talkpage). I hope you enjoy your wiki experience! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 00:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Logged out by WP during edit, IP showing in page history

Anybody know if there is a way to fix this? I would prefer to have my account name only. It looks like my cookie expired right in the middle of typing in the edit :/

Thanks!

: Nope, it used to be possible, but it took up too much developer time. I'm afraid the IP will have to live on in the page history. Henrik 18:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

::You can always re-edit the page and add the user:Miles stuff by hand to the text if you want to claim it. But I came here to comment because I saw the name. Cheeky bastard! (meant in a friendly way) Sandpiper 15:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

:Was already on my way to vote. Be careful what you ask for, though... :) I'm not sure our political views match. Not telling what mine are, though, that's not what I'm on Wikipedia for. MilesVorkosigan 16:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

name choice

Your user page comment on height is quite appropriate. Do you have bug batter problems? ww 08:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Innapropriate vandalism tag?

How was that not appropriate? The user deleted my comment in a discussion where I was asking the user to be polite to other editors. They were clearly hostile in their intention. --Strothra 22:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

:By your last comments on my talk page does that mean you would condone reverting their talk page back to the vandalism tag? I'd like a second opinion. --Strothra 22:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, after this comment [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ACyde&diff=51592341&oldid=51591089] I think I'll leave it alone. That individual clearly isn't completely okay and will probably only get more irrational until they get themself banned. --Strothra 22:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:POINT

Hello, I was interested to read your comment about the Template Spoiler being up for deletion. Although you weren't the only person to invoke WP:POINT, I would like to know why you think it is being violated, and why I should be blocked. Thank you, Chuck 02:58, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:I was only trying to use the Abu Ghraib thing as a comparison of something I was already familiar with. My intention is not to get rid of the pics in that article, I already had that battle. I am currently concerned with the spoiler template, and you'll have to believe me when I say, I honestly think it is unneccesary. I was incorrect to list the reason for deletion as it was censorship, as it is not, but I could not think of another way to word what the problem was, which was later done under the few delete votes. Thank you for your comments and criticism, Chuck 07:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Protected talk page

User:Fastfission is an admin, able to edit protected pages in a single bound. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:46, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Blocked by mistake? Don't think so.

Miles, I always feel I'm likely to get these mysteries wrong, but unless I was completely derailed by the unbelievable autoblockery that hit WBardwin last night, there's surely chicanery at User talk:David Shield. What makes you think David Shield was only hit by autoblocks? Please check out [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:David_Shield&diff=prev&oldid=52632226 my message], let me know what you think. Bishonen | talk 09:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC).

Sock-o-rama

Oh, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Lamb_of_god&diff=52922320&oldid=52921798 seriously]. There's good faith and there's crazy talk. Bishonen | talk 00:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC).

Re: If you dislike humour

I'm afraid I don't follow. So you're saying to ignore the comments based on English-mockery, user-comparison and uncivility? Clever. But I'll pass. —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:Replying here as you removed my initial comment from your page.

:To clarify: If you don't like reading jokes that don't concern you that are posted on someone else's talk page, perhaps you should stop reading them. The theory is similar to hitting oneself over the head with a hammer. If it hurts, stop doing it. MilesVorkosigan 21:35, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

World War I

No problem, actually I left the comments a couple of weeks ago, but nobody bothered to respond to them - and then they were archived (I was just about to start the WP:FARC too, but now I'll leave the comments up for longer and see if they can be addressed). AndyZ t 22:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

  • On your wording question: "virtually unavoidable" "almost predetermined" "almost pre-ordained". Just ideas. I don't really like the second two, but couldn't just come up with one. :) Wikibofh(talk) 17:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Katyn

Too many good people died there, russia never apologized, but they admitted they did a cover up... so it's important the victims get their justice, also, we need to include other info on Beria who asked stalin to approve of the killings...

No fault IBAN Request

@MilesVorkosigan, I thought you would have gotten the hint by now that I'm no longer interacting with you directly, but I'm not surprised your still pressing for direct interaction. @Doug Weller and @ Ivanvector, please note that I'd rather not interact with this user on any level whatsoever. If that means a one-way, no fault WP:IBAN on me, then so be it. I see no way of having any positive or constructive interaction with this editor going forward. Thank you in advance. If you two are not the appropriate admins to reach out to, please let me know what process I should follow. Mkstokes (talk) 23:09, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:I'll note that we're on *my* talk page, and the limit of my responses to you on the article's talk page was replying to when you lied about something. And you're again @-ing me while claiming to not want any interaction. @Mkstokes

:But sure, if you can figure out some way to get yourself to stop lying about what I say, then I won't need to respond and correct you. Won't that be nice? I won't reply to you on the talk page of the article, either, I'll reply to other authors when you try to put in conspiracy theories and more unreliable sources.

:But I don't think you're going to be able to stop lying about me, you haven't shown any sign of regret for the ones you've been caught in so far. MilesVorkosigan (talk) 23:15, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::As part of the formal process, I am required to notify you of the request. Hence the message on your page, so consider this my notification. Since this is a no fault request, I don't know the next step. However, if you would prefer the Administrator's Noticeboard or the Arbitration Committee noticeboard we can go that route as well. Mkstokes (talk) 23:29, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:::You continue to not really be able to read what I post and reply based on some imaginary other things.

:::I didn't say anything about ANI or Arbcom, though I think you'd be *fascinated* to learn about WP:BOOMERANG if you want to post there.

:::As I said, I'm happy to stop replying to you* and again I note that you're posting on *my* talk page.

:::*before you try a 'gotcha', no, that obviously does not include when you come to my talk page. But as I said I'll continue to not post on yours, not @ you the way you keep doing me, and not correct you if you manage to get yourself to stop lying about what I say.

:::Good day, sir. MilesVorkosigan (talk) 23:39, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::::@MilesVorkosigan, no one's trying to "get you." Your comments bore me and I'm tired of you snipping at my heals while desperately seeking my attention. I stopped responding because your objectives are crystal clear and it's worthless because you utterly lack objectivity in your quest to fight all things MAGA and conservative. You can have the last word, because I'm done and have more important things to do. Good luck in your quest! Mkstokes (talk) 02:07, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
