193.200.150.167: k, I'm done now.

Hey there! Let me offer you a belated welcome, and thanks from a fellow LGPedian for all your great work. Also: your caption for [[Jonas Cares]] is absolutely hysterical. :-D ~ '''[[User:Jbshryne|JBSHRYNE]]''' 15:27, 28 November 2007 (CST)

== Theories ==

Hey, just wanted to tell you all the work you did on the Theories page is '''awesome'''! [[User:Nancypants|Nancypants]] 19:53, 3 December 2007 (CST)

== 0xxx ==

I didn't say anything so far because I didn't find anything that broke because of it, but...why the hell do you always add a leading zero to the episode numbers? What is the practical purpose of that? -_^

:[in reply to [[User talk:Renegade#0xxx]]]
:Well, since your note is lacking in [[User:Renegade#Episode Page Framework|my framework]], no wonder I didn't see it. xD (And no, that's not a hint to update it. :P)
:The thing is, with a leading zero, the sorting is messed up as well - everything is filed under "0". Episode 10, 256, 320, they're all in section "0" instead of "1", "2" and "3". I do see your point, but, in my opinion, it's easier to find episode 30 by checking a section "3" than to count down 30 in the "0" section...

::::No, I fixed that; I was contemplating changing things to be to the 100th place, but decided against it. The categorization is WAY off now, though. I'm trying to sort by date added, but it's not working too well. - [[User:Shiori|Shiori]] 18:53, 5 December 2007 (CST)
:::::It's less off than it was before, and it was less off than before you changed it to sorting by date. Before, everything was ordered under "0", now, at least what's starting with 3 is sorted under "3". It sucks that it leads to 3, 3x, 3xx, but it's still better having all 3s under "3" than having no numeral indication at all.
:::::I'm gonna revert that blog change, btw, because 0+order and numbers+slight inorder ''both'' make more sense than ordering by seemingly random characters. Not to mention that this ordering doesn't create any more order, because it Orders both September 2006 and September 2007 under "S" - not to mention all the stuff that goes into "J".
::::::~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 19:00, 5 December 2007 (CST)
:::::::Yeah, I know. Like I said in the change there, it was tentative. Ideally, it would be awesome if we could find someway to sort by date without having the pages categorized under any label at all; maybe year. I don't think that's possible, though, so bah. I mainly only care because it makes finding a person's previous blog a little easier. - [[User:Shiori|Shiori]] 19:06, 5 December 2007 (CST)
::::::::I find it quite easy to find the previous blog simply by looking at the [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|List of videos]]?
::::::::What we could try is do conditional sorting - iow, change the sort key to automatically change the sort key to "1 - <nowiki>{{{number}}}</nowiki>" "10 - <nowiki>{{{number}}}</nowiki>" "100 - <nowiki>{{{number}}}</nowiki>" and so on. That *should* sort them correctly. {{color|red|Actually, scratch that...that would result in the same ordering as now.}} But please leave the episode numbers alone in the future, it's easier to do such stuff in the template than editing 366 vid pages. ;)
:::::::::~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 19:20, 5 December 2007 (CST)
::I think I found why the zeros were there in the first place; I found this on Wikipedia:
::"When trying to sort with ''numbers'' (e.g. wikipedia:Naming conventions (pieces of music)), don't forget to add an extra zero when more than 9 entries in the category are expected; and a second extra zero when more than 99, etc...: <s><nowiki>[[Category:Symphonies by Joseph Haydn|Symphony 13]]</nowiki></s> → <nowiki>[[Category:Symphonies by Joseph Haydn|Symphony 013]]</nowiki> (he wrote 108 symphonies). Categories sort by the first character, so leaving out the preceding zero would cause 10 to be sorted before 2."
::I agree that, assuming we wanted to put them back in, it would be WAY better to do it in the template itself. - [[User:Shiori|Shiori]] 19:29, 5 December 2007 (CST)
:::That is ''kind of'' the reason - the difference is that, in that example, both Symphony 010 and Symphony 002 would correctly be sorted under "S" and then by number - whereas in our case, the sorting "0" is never right in the first place.
:::I think I just had an idea though...I think I semi-hacked the sort key on another wiki to sort everything under the space character (i.e. no sort key is displayed) - if we combine that with automatically generated zero-padding, it should be sorted correctly. Give me a moment to code this up.
:::'''Update:''' I think it's working - only problem is that non-canon vids are "numbered" JONx, for example - I'll have to add a special case for that. But otherwise, I think it's slowly re-ordering itself to the correct order, with no misleading header.
:::'''Update 2:''' Check [[:Category:Jonas's blogs]] - as far as I can see, everything is totally and entirely as it should be. The videos look in order, there is no header, and the pre-canon vids are separated. :)

:::::AWESOME! Should we delete the leading zeros from the KM blogs, too? I'm just wondering for continuity's sake now. - [[User:Shiori|Shiori]] 20:17, 5 December 2007 (CST)
::::::Well, the same template is used on both, so if KM vids have zeros as well, they'll have to be de-zeroed as well. Don't worry about it, though, I'll have EvilRenegade do it. ;)
:::::::~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 20:52, 5 December 2007 (CST)
:::::::I just ran the bot on the KM vids - that should settle the whole zero-padding issue once and for all. :) I forgot to turn logging on, so there might be one or two vids that fell through because of editing conflicts, but those will be apparent quickly because's sorted wrongly in the categories, and can be fixed manually.
::::::::~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 10:07, 6 December 2007 (CST)
::::::::I've edited Epcode just earlier, so I'm not afraid of it - I'm just not sure what you want changed? If you refer to the fact that the seasonal episode numbers are zero-padded, I did that because a unified format of #x### looks better than stuff like "1x1" does. The difference between "Episode 1", "Episode 10" and "Episode 100" makes no difference to our sense of design and symmetry, but "1x1", "1x10" and "1x100" kind of growing a tale looks a little stupid, imo. "Episode 1/1x001" looks far better than "Episode 1/1x1".
::::::::{|
|1x1
|1x001
|-
|1x5
|1x005
|-
|1x13
|1x013
|-
|1x52
|1x052
|-
|1x107
|1x107
|}
::::::::In the "Episode" part, the leading zeros were useless, 'cause there's no reason to pad the number in what is basically akin to a small sentence - our mind is used to reading "Episode 1", not "Episode 001". But in the episode code, the zeros preserve a unified format, without which the episode code is less readable and looks disorganized.

Déjà vu, much? xD 
Just wanted to say that things like simple mass replacements, like the removal of leading zeros, can be done much faster and easier by [[User:EvilRenegade|EvilGade]]. So next time just give me a nudge or something. ;)

{{Hardwork}} I think you deserve this! I was going to put it on your user page but didn't wanna mess it up! [[User:Nancypants|Nancypants]] 22:15, 18 December 2007 (CST)

== KateModern Renumbering ==

You're right, the videos do need to be renumbered. However, the way I listed them is the correct way.

It's not about me being all knowing; it's about me having spoken to the KateModern production team about how they wanted their series represented on LGPedia.

There are lots of reasons that there can be inconsistancies on the LG15.com numbering and the LGPedia numbering. For instance, [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails]] is not listed on the lonelygirl15 section of LG15.com which messes up the numbering, however, I think there is no doubt that this is Bree's first blog. Like I said, the way I listed the videos is consistant with the way KM wants their videos listed, so that's what I'm going to go by.

You're welcome to help out with the renumbering if you'd like. --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 13:27, 10 January 2008 (CST)

:Hey, it's not about being in contact with the Creators... they're not even the ones who told me this. It's just a matter of trying to accurately portray the series as the KM Prod. team would like.

:That being said, I think we should work from the assumption that no recap video should be given an official number if posted from the [[Sophie]] account. In general, I think that lines up with what they want. --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 16:53, 11 January 2008 (CST)
::That works, although The Story So Far... was uploaded there as well, and should probably be numbered. I was apparently wrong about all of the recaps being posted on the Bebo page, so we'll just use only the recaps listed on the KM Bebo page as the ones that should be numbered. - [[User:Shiori|Shiori]] 20:01, 11 January 2008 (CST)

== Tag spaces ==

#Like I said before, this is the kind of job that the bot can do quickly, easily and flawlessly. There's no need for you to manually go through dozens (or hundreds) of videos if you simply want to replace stuff (and "trait|positive" to "trait positive" ''is'' a replacement). Just ask, and you can save yourself a whole lot of time.
#I was actually holding off that very change for quite some time now, on a simple basis - technically, the tag isn't "trait positive" - it' the tags "trait" and "positive". Just like they're using the tags "hymn", "of" and "one", not "hymn of one". I won't revert it, because, as said, I've been thinking about the same change for quite some time, but I wanted to note that, technically, your change is not correct.

Thank you very much! I am not good at English grammar.--Irene([[User:AzukiLotus|AzukiLotus]])21:20 29th January 2008 (Hong Kong Time)

== Toyota Aygo Platinum ==

Hey, I saw you added [[Man on a Mission]] to the list of videos with [[KM Product placement#Toyota Aygo Platinum|product placement]] for the Toyota Aygo Platinum. I'm having a bit of trouble finding it in that video. Would you mind getting a screenshot to put on the page? Thanks. --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 16:05, 3 February 2008 (CST)

== Userbox ==

Hey, thanks for adding that spam patrol userbox, I just noticed it, it's awesome! [[User:Nancypants|Nancypants]] 21:52, 5 February 2008 (CST)

== Publicity photo categorization ==

Hey, didn't see you in chat today, so I'll try it this way...Zoey was thinking about categorizing the publicity pictures, with categories like group shots, etc. iirc, you did the Videos with... categorization a few weeks ago quite neatly, and I was wondering if you'd be up for this task? 
To differentiate them from "normal" categories, you'd probably have to go for stuff like "Publicity photos of Daniel" or something similar, or whatever reasonable system you come up with. 
How about it?

Have zoey delete it..I dont have time to argue about trying to keep it. --[[User:Iris2009|TJ Marsh]] 18:51, 28 February 2008 (CST)

== RE88 BTS Sandbox ==
The page exists because of the redesign going on with the Redearth88 Portal, it would only make sense to have the new layout carry over to the BTS page (also why I created that page for the Prologue). Shifting the info into a sidebar defeats the purpose of having the page at all. (Also, the reason it looked so plain was because I wasn't done building the page yet, I was planning on adding pictures, more info, etc, to the page.) --[[User:FH14|FH14]] 11:55, 10 March 2008 (EST)

==KM Cameos==
Ahh wait. Please don't add links to the KM Cameos pages for the new actors I listed unless you're actually going to add them to the KM Cameos page. Without the red links, I'll never remember who to add :x --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 08:51, 14 March 2008 (CDT)

==Photos==
Hey, Shiori -- where'd you find the larger versions of the Grill photos?? I looked everywhere on their Flickr page, and they were nowhere to be found! Anywho, just wanted to say thanks on finding them (wherever you found them :P) --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] 15:53, 16 March 2008 (CDT)
:Amazing . . . I'll have to try that next time, thanks for the tip! But where'd you find them on Flickr?? --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] 15:58, 16 March 2008 (CDT)

== Objection to Deletions ==
Regarding the addition of references to Userboxes on the [[437]] and the [[LG15 Today]] pages... You were wrong in the first place, shiori, to delete the material without first engaging in a discussion on it's talk page, suggesting such a removal and offering reasons why or suggesting alternatives so that it might be discussed, and have subbornly continued this unproductive approach with repeated deletions and threats, escalating rather than resolving conflict. ~ [[User:QtheC|QtheC]] 08:25, 19 March 2008 (CDT)
:Yeah, see, who's going to block me? You were the one that was flying the face of SOP and general consensus. Adding the vandal template doesn't do much if you can't back it up. - [[User:Shiori|Shiori]] 08:54, 19 March 2008 (CDT)
::As a fellow user of this LGPedia, I'm not sure why you are assuming you have some special status here. I have restored the vandalism tag that you improperly deleted. As the vandal in question, you really should not be the one to decide to remove it. The specific text of the vandal tag is not something I control, so interpret it generally. Clearly, your words, actions and behavior contradict the impartial/correct approach you claim elsewhere. Your disrepsectful treatment of the additions I made in good spirit are not, in any reasonable sense "standard operating procedure" - you may have convinced others temporarily that you were behaving reasonably, but actually, you were just deleting repeatedly without a clear reason or bothering to discuss and reach concensus first. It's my view that you have overstepped your bounds, but I realize I am probably dealing with someone that is not interested in listening or learning from their mistakes, so perhaps I should leave it there, and encourage you to focus on your positive contributions to the LGPedia. Perhaps the restoration of this tag on your user talk page will serve as reminder to try to be more careful in how you deal with the contributions of others in the future. ~ [[User:QtheC|QtheC]] 13:46, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
:::Okay, that was a bit over the top. Sorry for taking it so far. Tell you what, I'm re-removing your 'vandal' tag here, and if you want to reciprocate, you are welcome to remove the 'vandal' tag you placed on my user page... they are both a little silly in what has been a dispute over content editing... right? ~ [[User:QtheC|QtheC]] 16:29, 20 March 2008 (CDT)

==New Quote template issues==
It was the same fix I already did on [[Template:Person]]. It was a problem with the sidebar's floating, not with the way the quote template is designed. Add <code>position: relative; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 10;</code> wherever the need arises.

193.200.150.167: Does that mean I have to start eating fish tacos now?

==RE: Design discussion==
Of course the majority of the argument stemmed from me. Because I was the only one who actually stood up to Zoey. Everyone just went into a "Okay, Zoey wants indicators, so let's do indicators!"-mode. Totally ignoring that she was the only one who deemed this necessary in the first place.

I openly admit that I'm the only one arguing on that page. But I'm also maintaining that I'm right, and I will also point out that Zoey, the one who caused all this trouble, was notably absent after she aggressively reverted the original design.

How is it "for the sake of the wiki, and the lgpedia and the whole community" if everybody just silently accepts Zoey as their personal dictator?
:~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 16:25, 10 May 2008 (CDT)

:Ren, I understand that you want to defend yourself, and I respect that. However, the way you are doing it is not acceptable. I find it ironic that in response to Abslch's post, you do the very thing that he/she pointed out you should not be doing: attacking other users personally. As I've said many times, I. Do. Not. Care. if you have an issue with Zoey. That does not give you a right to call her a "dictator" or personally attack her in any way. If you would like, we are willing to discuss this with you privately, if that is what it takes to get you to stop. Look, to be honest, I am just getting sick of this. We have warned you many times not to personally attack other users, and yet you continue to do so. Either you do not realize you are doing it (which I find unlikely) or you are blatantly ignoring LGPedia policy and doing it anyway. If this is what you are doing, we will be forced to take action if the personal attacks continue. Again, if you would like to discuss this privately, that is completely fine. Just please, don't force us to take drastic measures because you are unable to keep from personally attacking others.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 18:44, 10 May 2008 (CDT)

::And I find it ironic that you keep claiming this to be a "personal attack", yet, so far, nobody has shown any proof that I am factually wrong - it was Zoey alone who wanted the indicators, and it was Zoey who ignored consent and pre-warnings and aggressively reverted the page. What do you expect me to do? Artifically include you and Pheon and say "the administration" did it? That'd be incorrect. If you can prove I'm wrong, feel free to do so. But as far as I can see, all I'm doing is retelling what happened. It's not my fault Zoey acted alone - but since she did, I have no other choice than to mention her alone.
::You also show several misconception that I feel the need to clear up:
::#I don't care if you care. Abslch directed a comment personally to me, and I replied to him personally. I even avoided putting this on the discussion page, and went here instead. This is a personal conversation between me and Abslch. To say "I. Do. Not. Care." when I didn't say a single syllable to you is more than presumptuous. If you don't care about what I say to Abslch, then don't read it! (Did I mention how impolite it is to hijack our conversation like this?)
::#I am not "defending" myself. I am very aware that all of you are going to bow to Zoey and do exactly what she wants just to get this over with. But I'm not going to play the good little sheep. Zoey had no reason to revert my change, she had no grounds to claim I tried to "overrule admins", and her allegations I was disrespecting her and even everyone else on this wiki were entirely bogus. Yet instead of actually supporting these wild accusations with factual evidence, she just waltzed in here, reverted what she didn't like, and vanished again. Because she knows herself she had no grounds for that revert. I made sure there was maximum consent on the revision. I changed large parts of the design to fit it to everybody's taste. I gave two advanced notices. There was nothing wrong with the way I proceeded (which you yourself actually admitted on the other talk page), and the large majority of people was happy. Zoey's "OMG we need link indicators" had exactly the same amount of backers as the "I think maybe the background needs another color than white." suggestion - yet I don't see an army of people trying to fix the background to Krisser's liking. And why not? Because Krisser is not an admin. Because Krisser cannot revert the change and ban dissenters. Check the discussion, Jon. Nobody was all "YES, ZOEY! I agree whole heartedly!". ''Afterwards'', after her revert and wild accusations, model came forward and said "yeah, I agree". But he's the only one. Everyone else is just trying to find a solution because Zoey has proven that if she doesn't get her solution, nothing goes. It's as simple as that. People are not looking for a solution because they agree there is a problem - they are looking for a solution because they have no other choice. And at the same time, more and more comments keep pouring in that people like the layout... To return to your assumption - I am not "defending" myself. For one, I have no reason to defend my actions - as I outlined above, I did everything in cooperation with the community and with more than a week advanced notice. I did nothing wrong, therefore I have nothing to defend. Secondly, I know full well nothing I say will make any of you stray away from the flock. I will simply not allow the administration to cover up Zoey's aggressive suppression tactics as my fault. Had she wanted to stop the design as it was, she could've said something in the 11 days the notice was up. Or she could've said from the start "under no circumstances this is going live before I get my fix". She did neither. She waited until 21 minutes before live time, and then was ''still'' alone with her opinion. If she was ''any'' other user, there wouldn't even be a discussion about this. Had this been nancy, or shi, or anyone else, you'd all agree and say "well, sorry X, but nobody else saw a problem". The only reason this is an issue is because Zoey has the power to make it an issue. Zoey is the one who acted out of line here, and I will not let you put the blame on me. As long as the administration of this wiki tries to make up offenses out of thin air to get rid of me, I ''will'' talk back.
::#Lastly, I have played too many shadow games on this wiki to discuss ''anything'' regarding it in private. Say what you want to say out in the open, or don't say it at all. The only reason you could want to do it in private is denial anyway.
:::~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 21:51, 10 May 2008 (CDT)

:::First of all, when I said "defend yourself", I meant against Abslch's criticism of you on the redesign talk page. He/she pointed you out specifically so it's understandable that you want to make your case. That's all I meant. And it's ridiculous to say "I did nothing wrong, therefore I have nothing to defend." You defend yourself when ''someone else'' thinks you did something wrong, not when ''you'' think you did. I only defend my actions when I think I'm right.

:::Secondly, one of two things is happening here: either you did not understand the intent of my post or you are purposely arguing about something else to avoid the issue. I thought I made my the point of my post very obvious, but let me explain it again. I'm not arguing about who was right on the redesign issue. I am calling you out on an official pedia policy, which is "no personal attacks". You say, "I find it ironic that you keep claiming this to be a "personal attack", yet, so far, nobody has shown any proof that I am factually wrong", yet that's not ironic at all. Whether you are factually right or wrong has ''no'' bearing on what I'm trying to say. That's not the issue I brought up. The issue is that you are personally attacking another pedia user, something that is simply not acceptable on the LGPedia. It doesn't matter that it's Zoey, it's just she is the one you have chosen to attack. Again, ''even if'' you are right about the redesign issue, that gives you no justification for calling Zoey a "dictator" or being disrespectful in any way.

:::Thirdly, I have every right to "hijack" your conversation when what you say is in violation of pedia policy. Again, this makes me think you're not understanding my post, or purposely trying to make it out to be something else. And if that's what you're doing, it's not going to work forever. I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but I think I've made my point very obvious here and in the past, yet you continue to ignore what I say.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 10:15, 11 May 2008 (CDT)

::::Well, no matter when ''you'' defend yourself or how you define it, I don't feel like I'm defending myself, and I don't feel like I have to defend something, either. So, whatever.
::::As for your second point, you're still trying to paint this as a purposeful attack against Zoey. If you can come up with a good way how I can reference the side of this discussion which unnecessarily and aggressively reverted the page even though everything went in coordination with the community and according to policy ''without'' saying "Zoey" - fine. Tell me. But until you can, the fact is that Zoey was the one who had the problem, and Zoey was the one that reverted. If there is only one person on the other side, I have no other choice but to call her by name. This has nothing to do with Zoey personally. I love Zoey the girl. But Zoey the admin failed majorly that day, and Zoey the admin was the only person that failed that day. Zoey the admin is also the one who is notably absent from the discussion she forced upon us. So unless you can come up with an ambiguous, non-personal term that describes Zoey's position and actions without calling her by name, I have no other choice but to keep saying "Zoey".
::::Last point, you may have a right to interrupt anti-policy activities, but for one, I contest such activities were going on, and for two, that doesn't change the fact that "I. Do. Not. Care." implies that I was telling ''you'' in any way, and that was simply not the case - thus, my point stands: I don't care if you don't care - I didn't address you. I was talking to Abslch.

::::I'd respond longer, but I'm kinda drunk, so if you want more, wait until tomorrow.
:::::~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 15:33, 11 May 2008 (CDT)

:::::I don't have a problem with your pointing out Zoey specifically if it's her actions you have a problem with. I'm not asking you to dance around what you're trying to say. And I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt when you say it's nothing personal against her. However, the way you say things makes it seem like it is. On the redesign talk page, you accused her of "[fucking] over community discussion and consensus." That's not really the most respectful language and you're accusing her, personally, of not caring about the desires of the community or the way the pedia is supposed to work. You went on to say that the only reason things weren't going ahead is because she was "pissed off because [you] didn't give [her] the opportunity to shoot it down in silence." Again, that's a harsh accusation. Later, you claim that we are "[cowering] in fear of Zoey's wrath". This implies that Zoey is somehow forcing us to act the way she wants, which, again, is quite an accusation to make. I could go on, but hopefully you see the point. Now, like I said, maybe you really don't have anything personal against Zoey, but the way you talk about her makes it seem like you do. And I'm not the only one who sees things this way. (Example: Look whose talk page we're discussing this on.) So all I'm asking is that you make sure you focus your criticisms on the discussion and what should be done, instead of going after one person in a way that appears vindictive to people reading it.

:::::Oh, and about the "I. Do. Not. Care." thing, maybe that was a bit harsh, and I know you were not directing it at me. The point I was trying to make is that it didn't matter to me if you had a personal problem with Zoey because that gives you no right to attack her. The way I said it was just a way to vent frustration at the issue and I realize now that my frustration is really irrelevant.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 23:23, 11 May 2008 (CDT)

::::::{{quote|Jonpro|[...] On the redesign talk page, you accused her of "[fucking] over community discussion and consensus." That's not really the most respectful language and you're accusing her, personally, of not caring about the desires of the community or the way the pedia is supposed to work.}}
::::::And I stand by that. The revision history and the remnants of discusson on that page show quite well that this layout was a community effort, that we all worked towards a common goal, and I believe the [[User talk:Renegade/Portal:Lonelygirl15#Comments|comments section]] speaks for itself. As I pointed out above - Zoey's complaint about icons had just as much backing as the suggestion to change the background color. Yet I don't see a large week-long discussion about what to change the background color to. There was consent. There was a long discussion that lead to the design I put live. And Zoey overruled all of that and reverted. How is that not "[fucking] over community discussion and consensus"?

::::::{{quote|Jonpro|You went on to say that the only reason things weren't going ahead is because she was "pissed off because [you] didn't give [her] the opportunity to shoot it down in silence." Again, that's a harsh accusation.}}
::::::So far, I did not see her contest it. And it's been three weeks since I said that. Then again, I wouldn't expect her to admit that, either.

::::::{{quote|Jonpro|Later, you claim that we are "[cowering] in fear of Zoey's wrath". This implies that Zoey is somehow forcing us to act the way she wants, which, again, is quite an accusation to make.}}
::::::Again, same example - you had one vote for changing the icons, and one vote for changing the background color. Did Krisser revert the layout, yell and make up offenses, and then everybody jumped and started to change the background? Nope.
::::::Just check it out - look at the course of the Character Icons discussion. The initial discussion did not even run 24 hours, then everybody had moved on to other things already. I posted updates on other stuff, and ''six days later'', on my own accord, without any further suggestion, I added more overlay stuff to appease Zoey. And what happened? ''Nothing''. For another 6 days, ''nobody cared''. Then, Nancy said she liked it, Zoey said she didn't like it, and FH14 suggested a different solution? ...and then? Right! ''Silence''. For another 10 days, until Zoey showed up and inquired if it was being worked on.
::::::Do you see the pattern? The character icons are only an issue when Zoey is around. Every single time, as soon as Zoey left, the discussion died. Simply because ''nobody else cared.''
::::::So, I stand by that accusation - this is not an issue because anybody thought it was necessary. This is an issue because Zoey made very clear the design would not go live without the indicators she wants, and left the rest of the community no other choice but to do her bidding in order to get the design live.

::::::{{quote|Jonpro|I could go on, but hopefully you see the point.}}
::::::I will go on.

::::::{{quote|Jonpro|Now, like I said, maybe you really don't have anything personal against Zoey, but the way you talk about her makes it seem like you do. And I'm not the only one who sees things this way. (Example: Look whose talk page we're discussing this on.)}}
::::::Well, so far, all you two (you and Abslch) have done is complained that I argue - neither of you has shown that anything I said was wrong. Especially considering that, no matter how much you'd like to talk it away, half of it was actually valid criticism about the approach - the original problem was that Zoey wanted to make absolutely, 100% clear the icons were links - and then model came up with a solution that required deduction and testing on a wider community. In other words: It does not fit Zoey's requirements. It's not my fault model was of a different opinion, and then started Apple evangelism. Of course, Since Zoey magically disappeared since she brought chaos and destruction, and she won't dare to pull the same shit with you as with me, it doesn't matter. The half-assed version that satisfies neither side will stay.
::::::Point is, instead of continuously claiming "personal attack!!!!" and pretending I'm wrong by default, maybe you should get up and actually show that I'm wrong, if you think so. Saying the truth is not a personal attack.

::::::{{quote|Jonpro|So all I'm asking is that you make sure you focus your criticisms on the discussion and what should be done, instead of going after one person in a way that appears vindictive to people reading it.}}
::::::Zoey abused her power to force her will upon the community, reverted a redesign made in accordance with tradition, policy and the will of the community, and then made up ridiculous and so far unproven allegations against me to justify her actions.
::::::If you think I'll just shut up and watch Zoey ruin my reputation to save hers, you're wrong.

::::::{{quote|Jonpro|Oh, and about the "I. Do. Not. Care." thing, maybe that was a bit harsh, and I know you were not directing it at me. The point I was trying to make is that it didn't matter to me if you had a personal problem with Zoey because that gives you no right to attack her. The way I said it was just a way to vent frustration at the issue and I realize now that my frustration is really irrelevant.}}
::::::Allegations that I overruled admins, disrespected the community and acted without consensus, paired with a threat of "consequences", are ''not'' "personal problems", and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop claiming that.
::::::It's not my fault Zoey doesn't have the balls to come out and admit none of that was true. But until she does, her accusations stand there and all I can do is hold against them.
::::::Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't see her on recent changes? Do you think I don't realize she purposefully avoids the discussion? She knows full well she has ''nothing'' to back up her bullshit, so she simply doesn't even try. And all the while, I'm sitting in limbo, with a fucked up reputation, on the brink of getting banned.
::::::'''Silence is not proof.''' The fact that Zoey doesn't say anything does not automatically mean she was right. I have shown you the history of the issue above and linked you to the vast amount of comments that approved of the design.
::::::What has Zoey shown to you that justified ''her'' actions?
:::::::~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 03:19, 12 May 2008 (CDT)

:::::::Apparently you still do not see the point of what I'm trying to say. You ask me to show you how Zoey was right, but what I'm saying is whether or not Zoey acted correctly is ''beside the point''. I'm not sure why you keep bringing it up. In a previous post on this page, I said, "Whether you are factually right or wrong has ''no'' bearing on what I'm trying to say. That's not the issue I brought up." And I stand by that. Why do you have to turn this into a discussion about who acted rightly about the redesign issue? I have not addressed that issue because that is not the point. The point is the ''way'' in which you make your accusations. Let me repeat that: you have every right to challenge what someone else does, head admin or not, and bring up with the rest of the community something you think that person has done wrong. What you do ''not'' have the right to do is to be disrespectful to that person because you are upset about the way they acted. It is possible to have a disagreement with someone yet still show respect toward them.

:::::::You say, "Well, so far, all you two (you and Abslch) have done is complained that I argue". That's just simply not true. Abslch said, "It just seems like you have a really bad attitude and are taking out your personal problems with Zoey out on all of us." Now, he/she did also mention that you argue, but he/she also brought up the issue of ''how'' you argue, your "attitude" throughout the discussion. Oddly enough, Zoey also mentioned your attitude ("if the attitude displayed in these posts continues, [...]") and Pheon did as well ("[...] there's simply no need to bring that kind of language and attitude here.") And if you read my posts, you'll see I've brought up the same issue.

:::::::You say, "Saying the truth is not a personal attack." Clearly you don't understand what I mean by a "personal attack" then. Basically, I define a personal attack as anything disrespectful toward another user; {{wikipedia|WP:EQ|Wikipedia}} has some good suggestions on how ''not'' to be disrespectful. If you would simply be civil, it would make the discussion you're trying to have (about who was right and who was wrong on the redesign issue) possible without things turning into one big heated argument.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 10:02, 12 May 2008 (CDT)

::::::::Still trying to turn this into "gade is attacking Zoey!!! :O", I see. And still you fail to show how anything of what I say was factually incorrect and purely an attack on her person. Thus, I maintain my previous position - saying the truth is not a personal attack. As I have shown above, the "harsh accusations" I raise aren't just "accusations", they're retellings of what happened - you can read it for yourself in the discussion. Thus, none of them are personal attacks, and thus, your point is moot.

::::::::Nice try on the "attitude" recital. Might've worked elsewhere. Luckily, ''here'' we have the whole discussion archived, which is why I can ''prove'' that 0 out of 4 people proved that anything was wrong with my attitude, and that 3 out of 4 people didn't even follow up on their accusatory post. You want to point out how many people question my attitude? Fine. ''I'm'' pointing out that 75% of these people simply put out the allegation my attitude is wrong and then leave. If I said "Jon wears pink dresses at night!" and then left, would that automatically make me right?
::::::::Once more, I'm forced to repeat what I already said - ''silence is not proof''.

::::::::Then again, this user's "opinions" are irrelevant anyway. It was a pretty good tactic, I'll give you that, and I hate to admit that it took a while until I caught on. But a tip for the future - if you want to make use of a sockpuppet, ''don't sign with [http://www.lg15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=User_talk:Renegade/Portal:Lonelygirl15&diff=prev&oldid=123751 two names] [http://www.lg15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=User_talk:Renegade/Portal:Lonelygirl15&diff=prev&oldid=125736 from the same IP]''. At least not on the same page.
::::::::Just out of curiosity - is it your sockpuppet or Zoey's?

::::::::Back on topic, I acknowledge that you keep claiming I'm personally attacking Zoey, and that you're questioning my attitude. But your ''opinion'' is hardly proof of any wrongdoings. Zoey hasn't said a word in three weeks even though she's clearly around, so apparently she doesn't have too many problems with what I'm saying. Pheon only showed up because Zoey summoned you two for support anyway, and, as far as I know, didn't repeat that accusation ever since. So...we have two users who don't debate the issue and won't repeat the accusation, one sockpuppet, and you. Sounds like a one on one to me, not a four on one. Nice try to fake support, though.

::::::::Entirely independet from that, I could of course start questioning what kind of attitude it is to violently revert valid content and to try silencing protest...
::::::::Would that make me right by default? Simply saying "Jon has a bad attitude because he yelled at me!"? Guess that means we both have a bad attitude now...

::::::::If you want this discussion to stop, quit repeating the same allegations over and over again, and actually prove that I did something wrong. But be aware that the entire discussion exists because of Zoey's actions - you can't just leave out the start and nitpick minor sentence down the road. Either you can prove I'm wrong on this issue, or you can't. There is no middle ground.

:::::::::I suppose I did not adequately explain my argument against your statement that "saying the truth is not a personal attack". I am not saying that your comments are "purely an attack on her person". That isn't how I defined a personal attack in my previous post. I said that it was saying "anything disrespectful toward another user". It has very little to do with the truth or validity of the statement, and everything to do with the tone of the statement. For example, if someone added a transcript to a video but failed to format the text correctly, included lots of <nowiki> </nowiki>'s, and put the entire thing in bold, there are a few ways I could respond to that. I could put something on their talk page to this effect:
:::::::::{{quote||Hey, just noticed you added the transcript for <video>, and I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do that. I went ahead and fixed it this time, but for future reference, please follow our [[LGPedia:General style guide#Video transcripts|style guidelines]] for video transcripts as much as possible. If you want, you can look at old video transcripts as well to give you an idea of how the format works. Again, thanks for adding the transcript and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my [[User talk:Jonpro|talk page]].--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 00:44, 13 May 2008 (CDT)}}
:::::::::Alternatively, I could post something like this:
:::::::::{{quote||Hey, after you added that transcript the page looked horrible until I was able to go through and fix all the formatting errors. Next time follow the [[LGPedia:General style guide#Video transcripts|style guidelines]].--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 00:44, 13 May 2008 (CDT)}}
:::::::::Both messages are factually correct, and they both tell the user to follow the style guidelines from this point on. However, which user is more likely to come back and continue adding transcripts? Which user will feel more welcomed and appreciated for the effort that they ''did'' put into the pedia? I think it's obvious. And before you start saying that this is different because Zoey is not a new user and because Zoey is completely aware of how to act while this new user may not have known about the style guidelines, the only point I am making is that the truth can be spoken with respect or with disrespect; it can be said with a good attitude or with a bad attitude. That's all this analogy is meant to demonstrate. A statement does not have to be either a personal attack or a statement of fact; it can easily be both at the same time.

:::::::::Now, on the sockpuppet thing, I ''deeply'' resent the accusation that one of the admins of the LGPedia is using a sockpuppet IP account to try to gain false support for an argument. That is a harsh accusation, and one that should not be taken lightly. Frankly I'm surprised you made it considering you have no proof to back it up. I mean, really, the fact that two different posts on the same page were signed with two different names does not translate in any way to the accusation that one of us is using a sockpuppet to make arguments against you. It's just a cheap shot at the administration and it's not acceptable.

:::::::::Moving on, I admit that my opinion does not prove that your attitude is bad, but you also cannot assume what you are assuming here. There are more explanations for Zoey's lack of involvement in this discussion than that she doesn't care. (She could be trying to avoid a heated argument which these discussions almost end up turning into.) And you assume that Pheon's silence means that he doesn't care as well, but the fact that he hasn't edited at all in a week and a half may also indicate that he's busy with real life stuff and doesn't have time to deal with this right now. Also, consider this: perhaps users do not comment because they are afraid of getting involved in an argument with you. Suppose for a moment that what I'm saying is true, that your posts often come off as harsh and accusatory even when you are right about an issue. For people who aren't very involved in the pedia but edit occasionally, what reason would they have for pointing out your attitude even if they thought it was bad? The potential benefit is that you will not be as harsh in the future, while the potential loss is that they will get involved in a big debate with you and in the end still not change anything. The benefits do not outweigh the costs, especially for someone who can simply stop editing at any time with no consequences. If this is the actual scenario, it would also explain Abslch's "Sorry :/" and apologetic tone in his post on the redesign talk page as well as his silence now. I'm not saying this is the only explanation, but it is one that fits the situation we have here.

:::::::::And as a side note, could you please explain what you mean by "violently revert"? I can only think of one type of revert, and that just involves undoing an edit someone made to a page. I'm not sure how it can be violent though.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 00:44, 13 May 2008 (CDT)

:::::::::*You're pretty much proving my point there, in my eyes. Please explain to me how the second "quote" constitutes a "personal attack". I cannot see anything attacking in it. Yes, it's not quite as sugar-coated as the previous one, but given the way you describe the hypothetical transcript...
:::::::::**''Hey, after you added that transcript the page looked horrible'' is entirely true, and does not "attack" anyone in any way. It is a ''fact'' that user did the hypothetical revision, and it is a ''fact'' the page looked bad afterwards. Other than these two basic facts, this part of the sentence does not include anything. No sugar coating, but no insult or attack either.
:::::::::**''until I was able to go through and fix all the formatting errors.'' - same thing; it may not be sugar-coated, but in the end, it's a simple, true statement that expresses what was wrong, and that the hypothetical you fixed it. Yes, if you wanted to, you could phrase it nicer - but the version as is includes no insults, no attacks, no nothing. It's a factual statement. Nothing more.
:::::::::**''Next time follow the style guidelines.'' - yes, this one would likely sound a little less angry with an added "please". But given the fact that hypothetical you just had to fix the transcript because the other guy fucked up the formatting, I don't think it's a problem it sounds slightly annoyed. Independent from whether showing unhappiness is appropriate, the fact that something is phrased imperatively does not automatically make it an insult or attack. If I say "Jon, you're parking in my spot, move your car!" - would you argue that is a "personal attack", because I failed to sugar coat my request that you move your car? Imperatives ''can'' be phrased nicer, but the fact that something is an imperative on its own does not make it a "personal attack".
::::::::::First part: Lacking insults or personal attacks.
::::::::::Second part: Lacking insults or personal attacks.
::::::::::Third part: Lacking insults or personal attacks.
::::::::::Would you please explain to me how that hypothetical quote violates any LGPedia policy?
::::::::::And before you argue "blablabla that wasn't what I was trying to show", well it's the only thing important. I do not contest that you can phrase statements in different ways. The question is not whether I ''could'' phrase everything I say so sweetly that everybody dies of sugar rush. The question is if the way I phrased my statements in this particular discussion constitute personal attacks. And even with your overly subjective and ambiguous "disrespectful" definition, I am still not aware of having said anything which purely had the purpose to attack or insult Zoey. As far as I can see or remember, all sentences that involve Zoey's name are statements regarding her actions. They may be phrased a little unhappily, but given the fact that she's making up shit to get me banned, I think it's understandable that they're not laden with "thank you"s and "please"s. As I have shown above - the lack of additional sugar coating does not automatically make something an attack. (And in order to break this cycle, let me state this very clearly: I do understand what you're trying to say. I just think you're wrong.)
:::::::::*Of course you resent the accusation you were using a sockpuppet (and try to paint it as a "cheap shot"). It would be rather stupid of you to openly admit it - but let's look at the facts for a moment: Every other general opinion comment to that date was positive (look at the comments section). There was obviously no support for Zoey's position. Then Mr. Mysterious IP shows up, and ooooh look, he says exactly what would support Zoey! Then he's gone without a follow-up. Then in the discussion, the same thing: Look at my posts - I may not have been sugar coated, to stay with previous terminology, but I ''was'' taking part in the discussion, and I was ''not'' posting further in Take Two. I just wasn't a good little sheep that simply smiles and nods. And then, all of a sudden, even though I hadn't said anything in the discussion for ''five days'', BAM Mr. Mysterious IP appears out of nowhere and says ''exactly'' what you would need to support forcefully removing me from the discussion, should it become necessary. I do not expect you to admit to doing it. Like I said, it's entirely possible it's Zoey's doing. But given the fact that the same IP posed as two different users who both just so happen to waltz in at the moment the administration needed it most, said exactly what you guys needed to gain an advantaged, and then vanished into nothingness without a second comment, you'll excuse me when I don't believe you.
:::::::::*As for explaining the silence away - it doesn't work that way. You can't just accuse me of a whole lot of offenses, threaten "consequences", and then walk away without proving. Either Zoey can prove I did something wrong, and she was right in threatening me, or she can't - if she can't, her accusations are void. But then again, if I went into the discussion and stated that, none of you would admit it, would you? Face it, this can only be closed by a conclusive administrative decision that states which side was right. So far, I'm not even getting a fair trial. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: ''Silence is not proof''. Avoiding a "heated argument" is very simple: All she has to do is admit I was acting within policy, and that there was no reason to revert, or, alternatively, make a case that proves I ''did'' behave wrongly. If it was as obvious as she pretends that I did wrong, I couldn't argue against it - if she admits I did nothing wrong, I have no reason to argue against it. The only reason this discussion still exists is because Zoey doesn't follow up on her bullshit. Her silence ''prolongs'' the discussion. As for Pheon, the same thing applies - it was clear by his timing and what he said that he agreed with the measure, so he has to justify it as much as you and Zoey have to. Simply running away is ''not'' justification. Trying to explain away his absence does not change that. 'cause, believe it or not, what's important to me is not what Pheon does outside the pedia - what's important to me is that you guys are trying to ruin my reputation and threaten "consequences". And so far, none of you could prove there was a reason to. You have two possibilities - either you're being dictatorial, then stop playing these games and ban me already, or you're being all nice and fuzzy and just, then give me a fucking fair trial already - which includes looking at ''all'' actions, ''including'' Zoey's original revert, judging ''both'' side's actions, and being open for the possibility that it was Zoey who fucked up, not me.
:::::::::*As for the whole "they're not posting because they're afraid of you" myth - same reply as always: Put up or shut up. Don't make up random claims and invent explanation, show me the actual users who behave that way. I could make up the same shit and say "I actually have 1000 supporters, they're all just too afraid to post because you'd ban them!" - would you believe me for one second? Show such users, or quit using them as evidence.
:::::::::*And by "violent revert" I mean the way this revert was executed - you yourself pointed out above how you can express the same thing in different ways. And it makes a big difference if you silently revert something, revert and put an explanation why, or revert, yell at the previous user, make up three different offenses, and threaten "consequences". It's the difference between erasing a new note from a whiteboard, and erasing the note and then punching the writer in the face. If she had had an actual reason to revert, she could've done so in a calm, professional manner, as she always promotes - instead, she "justified" her actions by making up bullshit and threatening me. Ironically, this is exactly what she always accuses me of doing. But I at least provide proof that I acted correctly and stay around to discuss what I say and do, whereas she just runs away without a further word.

::::::::::These allegations have been standing for over three weeks. Nobody has proven any of them, and the accuser is not making herself available for trial. In any real world court, the case would long have been thrown out. It is time the Administration (and with Zoey hiding and Pheon gone, that means ''you'') acts upon it, acknowledges the fact that the allegations have not been proven, and clears my name. This is ''independent'' from whether you think I personally attacked Zoey afterwards. This is purely about the allegation that I acted wrongly and the claim that a revert was necessary, and the fact that nobody proved it. Clear my name, or prove Zoey was right. But this constant state of unending trial is unacceptable.
::::::::::We can discuss my attitude, and determine whether or not my statements qualify as "personal attacks" afterwards, in a different discussion purely for that purpose, if you wish. ''I'' won't run away from it.

:I can't even bear to read all this. Renegade, you are a brilliant lgpedia editor. But you can be socially retarded, sometimes. This is one of those times. My personal belief is that Zoey's revert was completely fine, and warranted; that this all has been blown way way way out of proportion; and that no one gives a fuck about this drama bullshit. I am quite sure other readers and non-editors feel the same. That is all I have to say.--[[User:Milowent|Milowent]] 23:04, 14 May 2008 (CDT)

::Milo, I understand your frustration, and I don't like this any more than the next guy. But your jab at Ren and harsh tone don't really fix the problem either. You're probably right that most people don't care about this, but it's an issue that's come up and we're doing the best we can to resolve it. If you have a better suggestion about how to go about this, I'm all ears.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 05:05, 15 May 2008 (CDT)

::We'll see how you react when you randomly get accused and threatened for no reason at all, milo. The fact that no one even responded to my request for a fair trial is quite telling.

:::I am a little busy right now, so I haven't had time to think things through and respond in detail yet. I don't want this to be dragged on any more than you do, but it has only been a couple of days since your last post in the discussion. I promise I will address all of this as soon as I can.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 12:15, 15 May 2008 (CDT)

== The end of all of this ==

Look, here's how things are going to be. Renegade, I have tried to reason with you and be calm and rational throughout all of this, but the time has come when enough is enough. Zoey is the head admin here, and if she thinks that something needs to be done for the sake of the wiki, then she has the right to do it. It doesn't matter if you agree or not; it's her decision to make. Your lack of respect for her and others has gone on long enough. So, despite how much I hate to say this, if the attitude you display in your posts does not change, you will be banned. If that makes me a dictator in your eyes, then so be it; I have bigger things to think about than what you think of me.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 02:15, 17 May 2008 (CDT)

:Well, there is still no proof I did anything of what Zoey claimed, and you tellingly don't even reply to my request for a fair trial. So, yeah, "dictatorship" is pretty much the only word applying. Although you're more of a henchman, not the actual dictator.

:You still fail to show where I actually disrespected anyone, you still conveniently ignore my request for a fair trial above (including the displayed willingness to talk about my "attitude"), and you still fail to prove anything Zoey said was even remotely based in reality. Yet, I'm banned. And you wonder why I consider this system dictatorial?
