Threshold

I'm happy to move the deleted article to a sub-page of your userspace if you would like to work on some of the sourcing issues and bring a new version back to the mainspace. I will also attempt to lend some time and effort to sourcing the article and/or anchoring it in the context of MUD history if you would like. Protonk (talk) 05:09, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds excellent. I would really appreciate that. I checked out your user page and you definitely seem to have an interest in gaming related topics. Would it be possible for us to discuss this further via email? Cambios (talk) 05:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer to do it on wiki, unless you have info or comments that you don't want to be made public. If you do, you can email me from the link on my userpage. Protonk (talk) 05:40, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dispicible incivility

This sort of personal attack is absolutely unacceptable. For your own sake, I highly suggest you retract it. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 07:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll second that. If it isn't retracted or refactored you will find yourself blocked and it will be no one's fault but your own. Protonk (talk) 07:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stricken. Cambios (talk) 07:32, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. Protonk (talk) 07:35, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Actually, on second thought, I just removed it entirely. I am honestly surprised by the reaction. He notes his inability to get a job along with a list of accomplishments on his own user page. I can only assume he must be proud of it or something. My bad. Cambios (talk) 07:32, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Are you sure we are talking about the same person? The guy is "retired" as in retired due to age...Protonk (talk) 07:42, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - Mendaliv is the jobless one. On Mendaliv's user page, he lists being unemployed along with his certifications and other accomplishments. Since he lumped it in with all the other good stuff, I assumed he was proud of it. My mistake apparently. Cambios (talk) 07:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Ah. Well, my advice is avoid comments about contributors (sarcastic and otherwise) like the plague. Nothing positive ever comes from it (speaking from experience as someone who has lost their temper on-wiki too many times). Protonk (talk) 07:55, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am trying to figure out what "Dispicible" is. Since Mendaliv has 17,000+ edits on Wikipedia and has lots of admin friends, I can only imagine it is a word us lowly newbies don't know about yet. Cambios (talk) 07:40, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It's likely a typo. You are in a hole. Stop digging. Protonk (talk) 07:42, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- I am going to defer to your expertise and stop digging. Sorry, I feel like I am being stalked here and it is very unsettling. Protonk: Feel free to thrash me into line if you think I'm doing something inappropriate. I trust your judgement. Cambios (talk) 07:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't want to thrash you. I can understand that you are upset. I think that the best solution is to sit back, have a beverage of choice and take a look at that Threshold article and debate tomorrow. The actual back and forth of the debate can get pretty heated and personal fast (one reason why I frequent AfD less than I have previously) and it is imperative that we stop things from boiling over. Like I said at the DRV, the best solution is for you and others (including me, if I get around to digging up some more sources) to rewrite the article and source it scrupulously. That way we can just move it back to article space and be done with it. Protonk (talk) 07:47, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your comments on Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 January 7: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 16:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please be a little more specific? What personal attack specifically? I'll remove/edit/etc. if there is a direct personal attack. Thanks, Cambios (talk) 16:42, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you similarly warn the veritable ARMY of people that repeatedly accuse me of sock/meatpuppetry (when that was VERIFIED as false by the admin User:J.delanoy, and canvassing (which is clearly false if you go to the post(s) on the site in question). Cambios (talk) 16:43, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
