Niteshift36 is taking a semi-wikibreak and will fully return to Wikipedia later.

Hello, I'd like to formally apologize for any hurt feelings I may have caused, on the stormfront (website) page.

No worries, Niteshift--I was happy to back you up there (that was easy anyway, since you were right). Man, some people need to get out more, so they don't have so many words left when they get here. Cheers! Drmies (talk) 22:48, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More beer! Drmies (talk) 05:18, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Who doesn't love free beer. :) Niteshift36 (talk) 16:29, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Tell you what, I had the opposite happen tonight. Old neighbor comes by, there's a bottle of champagne, she and Mrs. Drmies claim to be tired etc; by the time they're gone and I'm thinking about finishing that bottle, it's empty after all. Plus they were disrespecting the Clint Eastwood movie I was watching, tsk tsk. Also, I made a promise: to not respond at ANI. Hey, we're all buddy-buddy now, with all this stuff going on, but weren't we in a fight a couple of months ago? Where you were wrong, of course. Later!

	The Teamwork Barnstar
	For working with me on Dave Aronberg article. You've supported him, I was dead set against his most recent bid for office, but we worked together to make the article encyclopedic rather than looking like a press release. ...William 17:45, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose you think that's funny. It took me all day to transcribe that trash from my TV screen. :) When I wrote that stuff I was a young and foolish 63 year old with a new toy. I am now 64 and a little wiser and I.Won't.Do.It.Again.(promise). That article isn't deserving of all the attention it gets anyhow. The reason for all the caps is that that was how it appeared on the TV. However, there should be a way to cite the credits from a film, or even scenes in it. Could you point me in the right direction on that? If I change my mind after all when I know how to do it and put the music back in I hope you won't come after me with your nightstick! Please accept this with a good heart, I don't think much of stalkers either. :) Jodosma (talk) 22:37, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'd like to apologise for my behaviour in the recent RSN on Hazel Kirk. I think that my behaviour went over the line on multiple occasions in the way that I addressed you and your arguments. I don't mean this from the perspective of an online civility "policy", but just in terms of how one should normally address another human being. Normally I find it easy enough to deescalate in those kinds of situations; unfortunately I didn't in this instance. Sorry again for my remarks, including my initial one, many of which were unfair, rude and condescending. FiachraByrne (talk) 21:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Dallas Police Department article's misconduct section could use serious cleanup. I worked on the killing of Santos Rodriguez section but its probably imperfect because this is not my expertise. Thought you might want to give the article a try....William 23:28, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi; I see you're one of the only active people on WP:Bodybuilding and showed up of course on the blacklisting bulletin board...... I was just fixing up the Tommi Thorvildsen article and his (Tommi's) inclusion of stats/facts including his motto makes me wonder if there's an "infobox athlete" or if we could concoct an "infobox bodybuilder" that we could come up with for stuff like that. Also in all cases, to make allowances re COI/AUTO for them to be able to cite their own websites; his own website is used as a citation about it, right off its main page is a product page so I'm going to adjust it to his "Om oss" (about us) page so it doesn't get treated like spam. Which is is, but self-spam is part of the bb game anyway huh? Strikes me that anything in that bio that's not in other sites is useful, depite the self-citation interdictions usual in Wikipedia.Skookum1 (talk) 22:16, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seems maybe there should be a bodybuilder subsection on WP:ATHLETE too.Skookum1 (talk) 22:20, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm not sure why it got listed as a spam site in the first place. I don't really know anything about infoboxes etc. You might be interested in this discussion in 2011 about including bodybuilders in ATHLETE [1]. The problem is, most of the people with an opinion don't really know anything about the sport. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:31, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When you look at it, Bosley's naked pics and the lawsuit are 2 different things.

She first became famous (infamous?) when the pics first came out, then a couple of years later when Hustler published the pics claiming fair use, she sued and won a good chunk of change.

Both incidents got some national publicity, and as a longtime news anchor in NE Ohio, she's a public figure anyway.

So, I believe there's enough there to meet WP:N standards, and enough to satisfy WP:BIO1E concerns.

Vjmlhds (talk) 16:44, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• And I don't. Being a "public figure" doesn't make you notable. News anchors and weathermen from bigger markets have been deleted after AfD. Being on TV and mentions in local media don't amount to notability. As for the pictures and lawsuit, I view it as one event. One is just an extension of the other. Could the Hustler suit have happened without the original pics? No. Thus it's an extension of the first event.....ie one event. The fact that they're separated by some time doesn't really change that. I see another editor has also restored it, so perhaps I'm not alone in this thinking. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:50, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If Larry Flynt doesn't try to publish copyrighted pictures, there's no lawsuit. Therefore the lawsuit is a separate deal. Vjmlhds (talk) 02:41, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Niteshift36. In December 2011 you participated at the discussion which resulted with moving the Academi article to its current title. There is a ongoing RfC which is related to that move. Your input is appreciated. Beagel (talk) 20:15, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I can't blame you for having given up on requests for the spam whitelist; but anyway, I took a look at the requests there (for the first time in years). I've whitelisted one link that you want whitelisted. As for the others, I've instead asked annoying questions. In the short term, the latter may infuriate you; but I hope that it's better than a wall of silence.

If you're wondering why action there is glacially slow, I'll guess that it's at least in part because it's not at all easy for a willing admin to figure out what the hell it is that he has to do, and how and where to do it. Seems that you (actually, I) add the link (specially encoded) to the actual list (to which there's no link), you add it again to a log, where you're expected to say why you've done this (I interpreted this as needing a diff), you then mark the request as "Done" and move it -- jeez, I thought I was owed a beer after all the necessary studying, copying, pasting, explaining, etc.

Time willing, I'll return to that requests page a few days from now. -- Hoary (talk) 08:24, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done! How about nowpublic.com? (The question I posted there is poorly written, so let's rephrase it: Is there any relevant URL that still works and that could usefully be whitelisted?) -- Hoary (talk) 00:12, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks. I'm just going to leave the NowPublic one alone since there apparently won't be a relevant one any longer. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:23, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The following question is not:

• a reproach
• blame
• impeachment

or

• charge !!

It is a simple Question. I await a simple, but honest answer. At least. Do you have a problem with ethnic minorities ??? I ask you because: The 3 last deletion requests (about some articles i have recently created) of you, seem to underline (in my belief) it in some distant way. Swift & Gangs are Minorities, in the wake of their destiny. Are you against other Cultures ? With best respect and regards: i expect you to answer in the most honest way, you can. --Gary Dee 21:05, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• The most respectful way I can answer your offensive question is to say no and caution you to be careful before making another insinuation like this one. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:48, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
