User talk:Willy, your mate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Retired. Too much vandals and trolls. Too much fucked up things, false information, and unfair rules. I have agreed with RickK and his action was right. I contributed to Wikipedia for nothing. I was suppose to get what I deserved for working hard for Wikipedia, but I didn't. I loved and enjoyed this place, but nothing had worked for me. Too much unfair things and too much assholes here.

There is no need to continue here. By the way, I have one final requests. Please redirect my userpage to my talk page. Here, this will be a place for tributes.

Well... farewell.--Willy isn't your mate anymore 05:05, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] From Here, Post In Tributes.

Commenting further, especially after reading your now-retired talk page. It's selfish to expect what you put in to Wikipedia right back. I know I volunteer my time here. I enjoy Wikipedia not so much for the vandal-fighting, the administrative duties, nor the seemingly ceaseless editing I do at times. I learn so much from the project as a whole, just clicking links, reading, researching, and learning. To say that there is a lot of crap and bullshit around here is to be right. But to let it get to you is beyond lame. I have made great friends here, and, even though I will probably never meet many (if any) of them, their interactions are a joy. Sure, Wikipedia is not infallible, but what is? Your editing went to waste? Well, now it did. Leaving because of a few disputes? Alright, instead of taking a mature, user-friendly way out and talking to me or others with whom you have an issue, you call me a stupid fucker, turn on your proverbial heel, and run away. Willy, it's easy to become pissed off around here; I have it happen to me sometimes as well. But when you leave, it truly does make all of what you did fade into the past into nothingness, and make your contributions mean nothing. Jmlk17 01:10, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Requests for "tributes", huh? Wow...there really is no better illustration of the crux of this issue.

At long last, you still don't seem to get it. Willy, you can't paint yourself as a sacrificing, driven truth-seeker who's been cruelly put-upon by The Man and The Cabal and all the rest. For the record, I hear the political Wiki-prisoner bit quite frequently (like every day), and rarely does it indicate anything except sour grapes. But let me tell you, I didn't know you from Adam up until the moment you created a "one-line and a link" WP:SPAM article about a non-notable Internet game. If you'd merely put the brakes on the Willy Crusade for a moment and read any one of relevant policies I sent you on your Talk Page, the issue would have been over and forgotten by both of us the very same day.

But instead, you flew into a deaf-dumb-and-blind rage, blanked your Talk Page, began bombing my talk page with threats and curses, and reverted the legitimate CSD tag off the article 6 times (highlighting your edit descriptions with similar threats and curses). You even went so far as to try and WP:CANVASS yourself up some admin support (do you think I don't know how to read a Contribs page?) which, of course, promptly detonated in your face. There was nothing even remotely defensible about "your" page, or your actions. We don't operate on threats and insults here, and we never will. This isn't a pub brawl or an arm-wrestling match, it's an encylopedia project composed of mature men and women. Our standards are easy to meet, and the only real requirement is a helpful attitude tempered with respect for your fellow editors. I hope one day you can realize that and decide to return as a positive editor; I suspect the moment you do, you'll be welcome back.

But if you can't, well, be sure to close the door gently.

And as always, thank you for your edits. Bullzeye (Complaint Dept./Brilliant Acts) 15:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:139290b.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:139290b.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Newsletter n°1

Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:

  • In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
  • I have slightly rearranged and updated the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
  • I have made a Wikipedia advert for our project, Image:Qxz-ad108.gif, what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
  • There are still map problems at Template:French commune - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
  • What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria.

It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, ChrisDHDR (17:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

It's funny how there are like four subjects and only one is kind of a tribute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.219.79 (talk) 06:16, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Newsletter n°2

It's been one high aiming month! The French WikiProject and related pages have been aiming high for Christmas - and have received an equal number of presents in return!

Well, that's this issue. Au revoir et à bientôt till the next time, ChrisDHDR (18:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)).
