Talk with Cyan re: lists of heterosexuals moved to user talk:Cyan by BuddhaInside
Recreating the page is this way after it has been deleted through the proper channels is bordering on vandalism. I would like to remind of what Jtdirl said here:
It is not wiki policy to allow a page that was deleted to be put back like that. If that is done, a sysop will simply delete it outright. If wiki decides to delete these pages (and on the votes so far it is a foregone conclusion) then they will be deleted and any attempt to try to recreate the same page by the back door will be seen as vandalism and deleted on sight.

So you are using the rule that users can generally control their own talk pages to keep people from messaging you. That confirms my opinion of your previous actions.Ark30inf 00:26, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
BuddhaInside, refusing to communicate with other users on your talk page by consistently blanking it is not in the spirit of Wikiquette and WikiLove, which are fundamental concepts of the Wikipedia community. Nor is your behavior on the silly List of heterosexuals. You are welcome to make contributions to Wikipedia, but if you continue with your current trolling, it is likely that you will end up being banned. Please focus on useful contributions instead of alienating other contributors. Thank you! Note that this page might be protected if you continue to blank it, to guarantee that at least these messages are a matter of public record.—Eloquence 00:45, Sep 7, 2003 (UTC)
For the record, it must be noted that he appears to be perfectly willing to communicate with other users on their talk pages (like mine, for example). -- Cyan 01:54, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Just some advice - it's probably a bad idea to try and edit VfD at the moment. Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/temp might be an idea if you don't want your comments to be lost in the edit wars. Angela 03:24, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Edit war
While your support is appreciated, I would prefer it if you participated in the arguments on Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion so we can bring an end to this pointless conflict.—Eloquence 04:15, Sep 7, 2003 (UTC)
- Is it regular that a user may not edit his own pages ?
It is widely believed that this user is a banned troll returning to cause more havoc. It would be interesting to know if it is Adam, DW or one of the other neanderthals that return to screw up pages periodically. FearÉIREANN 22:15, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Heterosexual list
How do you prove that someone is a heterosexual, given the fact that those who express the strongest distaste for homosexuality and put the strongest emphasis on their own heterosexuality also have a higher likelihood of being closet homosexuals? [1] On the other hand, who would claim to be a homosexual while not being one, given that this is not an attitude one can derive substantial social or personal advantages from? It seems the data on homosexuals is much more reliable than the data on heterosexuals.—Eloquence 03:22, Sep 8, 2003 (UTC)
Camembert unprotected this page, following my request on wikipedia talk:protected page. Martin
- BuddhaInside (I choose to have no content on my user or talk page)
Not your choice to make, love. Sorry. Martin 08:26, 10 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Reiterate request to have User:BuddhaInside and User talk:BuddhaInside deleted. After deletion, would prefer that both pages be protected -BuddhaInside
- This user has already been involved in two major edit wars. The talk page should be open in case that unfortunate situation arises again no matter how unlikely it may be. I think the user page can be protected if thats what he wishes though.Ark30inf 02:30, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- The problem is that he is going to insist on the deletion every time someone writes anything on it. This is impractical, although current deletion policy (point 7 on immediate deletions) does seem to say an admin has the right to delete these pages on request. Perhaps in this case he might be better advised simply to blank his pages if he so wishes. Angela 02:37, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- If he were to engage himself in another edit war where would discussion take place on it? If there is another locale then thats fine (I'm still new here). I am just worrying that he is attempting to shut off debate about his actions. Which have been a bit controversial.Ark30inf 02:40, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Blanking is not identical to deleting, and doesn't achieve my objective at all. I'll discuss any specific page on the talk for that page, but I'm going to request my user and talk pages be deleted anytime content is added. -BuddhaInside
- Perhaps if you gave the reasons for wanting them deleted and protected. The only one I can come up with in my limited knowledge is that you want history of discussions about controversy you are involved in deleted and to shut off discussion of any controversial actions you might take.Ark30inf 02:45, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Edit war discussions really need to take place on the talk page of in question. The fact that they often end up scattered across various user pages is wrong. This prevents an accurate record being kept and hinders those trying to follow what is going on. So, edit wars aren't the issue here. The issue I have is that talk pages are the means to communicate with other users. It is simply not acceptable to demand deletion every time someone leaves a comment there. Angela
- Okay, I understand now. ThanksArk30inf 02:49, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
BuddhaInside, do you have any reason for this request or are you just being pedantic? Any sysop can still read the contents of a deleted page so you are not hiding anything by doing this. Angela
- Oh yes, my reason is very simple. I want my name and talk link to appear in red on the "recent changes" page. I really don't mind if sysops can review the history of my page, that doesn't bother me at all. -BuddhaInside
- I'm afraid that isn't possible. Red links are there to demonstrate a user is new. They rarely stay red for long as new people are welcomed fairly quickly. You are most certainly not new, so this does not apply to you. Please try to focus on writing articles rather than worrying about what colour your name appears. Angela 02:59, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
