Hi Okip. I note that you did some good work with the Article Incubator when it was first set up, but then you stopped. I'm looking into the incubator as concerns have been raised about it so I'd be interested to learn why you stopped being involved, yet carried on with [[WP:RESCUE]]. What do you feel are the essential differences between the Incubator and Rescue, and why do you prefer to continue with Rescue but not Incubator? <span style="border: 1px #F10; background-color:cream;">'''[[User:SilkTork|<font face="Script MT" color="#1111AA" size="2">SilkTork</font>]]''' *[[User talk:SilkTork|<sup>YES!</sup>]]</span> 19:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC) |

Hi Okip, I just noticed that the article on the [[National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia]] was modified on February 20, 2010, at 16:00 by an editor VickyMa, deleting all my contributions with total disregard and without any comment, justification or reason; in my opinion, with total contempt. What should I do here to have my contributions inserted back into the article? I don’t want to do so just on my own initiative in order to avoid any argument or confrontation.

Hi {{PAGENAME}}! If there is any consensus at at all, it is that the entire discussion has become a tangled confusion, and as a result both proponents and opponents of the issues under discussion are abandoning ship. None of us want this. It is still not clear which way consensus will fall and your contributions to the discussion are invaluable. However, In an attempt to keep the policy discussion on an even track, some users have decided to start the ball rolling for clarity by creating a special workshop pages. The first of these is for the technical development of a template at [[WT:BLP PROD TPL]] in case policy is decided for it . The taskforce pages are designed keep irrelevant stuff off the policy discussion and talk page, and help a few of us to move this whole debate towards a decision of some kind or another. The pages will be linked in a way that watchers will still find their way to them. This move is not intended to influence any policy whatsoever; It is to keep the discussion pages focussed on the separate issues. Cheers. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 23:17, 6 March 2010 (UTC) |

Hi {{PAGENAME}}!. Every attempt to rescue a Wikipedia article is a noble gesture. However, there may be occasions when, with the best will in the world, it is just not possible to accord even a minimum of notability to an article or stub, or find a proper source for it. Most regrettably, even the most dedicated inclusionists will have to concede that the article may have to go if the creator or major contributors cannot justify their work.<br> |
|||
For new and recent unsourced BLPs, some users are now working at [[WT:BLP PROD TPL]] on the development of templates that are designed to encourage contributors to source new BLPs, without scaring away the newbies who might not be aware of the rules. This template is certainly not another a licence to kill for the deletionists, in fact the very idea of it is to ensure that you are not fighting a losing battle. It would be great if you could look in at the prgogress and maybe leave a word of encouragement. The workshop page is essentially a template development taskforce, and is not a place to engage in a hefty debate on incusion/deletion policy. See you at [[WT:BLP PROD TPL]]?--[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 13:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC) |

:I would like to second this sentiment. I honestly think that this initiative could improve the encyclopedia, and that it will likely not result in many unwarranted deletions. (Obviously, I could change my mind once it is actually implemented.) I think this is a good way to shift a bit of work back to contributors who know where the sources are, rather than other random contributors who will have to invest significant time to find them. I think a likely result from this initiative is that many or most of the tagged articles will be fixed by the creators within the time allotted, and that the worthy articles of the remainder will be fixed by other interested editors (say, from [[WP:ARS]]). I think it could be a good opportunity to educate new contributors about sourcing. [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 18:57, 7 March 2010 (UTC) |

:::I think that Wordsmith's change was correct - i don't see any consensus one way or the other for WP:BEFORE, because it wasn't actually discussed hardly at all. (Actually, this was unfortunate, because it will be hard to get consensus either way now, with people losing interest after this protracted discussion.) I think extremists on both sides are being a little bit ridiculous, with Septri... totally refusing to accept the legitimacy of the reasonable close, and deletionists threatening further out-of-process deletions. I think a lot of this partisanship was caused by the original ridiculous arbcom blessing of Scott Mac... and his gang, which put people at war and made people angry rather than thoughtful about this issue. (People feel powerless when one side with more power threatens to do what they want regardless of others' views.) Anyways, I think now there could be a good outcome from this whole mess.

:Dear Okip, things have moved a very long way in the last 6 weeks, and I doubt if either of us could have predicted this outcome. The deletionists who were arguing that old unsourced BLPs were the number one problem are frankly routed to the point where the main debate is now over whether we change to my position of not allowing the creation of new unsourced BLPs. Please don't think of this as a railroad from on high, rather think of this as a triangle where our two positions which once seemed almost equally unacceptable to the deletionists are now the focus of disagreement. I can see the temptation you must feel to argue that 35 should be a blocking veto, but I would urge you to consider a compromise - if only because if this succeeds it is much more likely to settle the issue for the foreseeable future whilst a solution that doesn't work almost guarantees a fresh proposal in a few months time. I think you are in a position to seek concessions, such as making the sticky prod linger longer than 7 days, or not allowing it to be applied until an article is an hour old, or in no blocking of the creators of unsourced BLPs.

Deleting well referenced material as copyright violations is absolutely appalling.[1] Some of these "violations" are no more than one sentence!
This fanaticism by these "self-appointed [copyright] guardians"[2] makes any prolific editor a target.
If you're still picking yours up, I've sent you one. pablo 20:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Article Incubator
Hi Okip. I note that you did some good work with the Article Incubator when it was first set up, but then you stopped. I'm looking into the incubator as concerns have been raised about it so I'd be interested to learn why you stopped being involved, yet carried on with WP:RESCUE. What do you feel are the essential differences between the Incubator and Rescue, and why do you prefer to continue with Rescue but not Incubator? SilkTork *YES! 19:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Your oppose at my RfA
I'm flattered that I could bring you out of retirement just to carry on the battle. FYI - The enormous collapsed table you added to the oppose section has broken the numbering in that section. You might want to take a look. SnottyWong comment 16:36, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

| You have been identified as a valued contributor and your efforts are appreciated. We are honored to present you with the Valued Contributor Award and we thank you for donating your time, expertise and effort to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. Thanks. (more details) |
Ikip, I just wanted to ask you think about coming out of retirement. There are many people that greatly value the work that you have done on the project. I'll send you an email later and hope you'll read it. Thanks. - Hydroxonium (H3O+) 23:37, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Dude, do it, or don't do it. You're not making yourself look too good by sporadically unretiring to pursue your long-term vendettas. pablo 16:40, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Take it easy
Hi! I don't know you, but I just wanted to give some friendly advice that you might want to relax a bit with your edits to the ARS talk page. Your recent few edits seemed like they wouldn't do much but cause more drama, and came awfully close to uncivil personal attacks.
Best, Yaksar (let's chat) 23:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Reversion
You whacked my comment, so I reverted you. Please take more care next time. --Nuujinn (talk) 23:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
- For the record, I have no interest in all in getting you blocked, but I don't see why you keep trying to stop a productive discussion for personal grudges.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:19, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

You were a significant contributor to the rescue template, so you were notified
Per section 3 of the guidelines when nominating a template for deletion/discussion, (Wikipedia:Templates for discussion), "it is considered civil to notify the creator and main contributors of the template that you are nominating the template." I simply notified a few users who contributed significantly to the template, per the revision history for the page— Located Here. User:Okip, you were a significant contributor to the template. There was no "canvassing", "selective canvassing", etc., and it is very inappropriate to insinuate such. I followed the instructions. Period. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:57, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

A notification that the Templates for Discussion discussion (oy, repetition) has been taken to a deletion review discussion. The Article Rescue Squadron was notified, and as notifications to previous involved parties isn't normal practise, I and a few ARS members agreed that, in the interests of transparency and fairness, we should let everyone know...hence this talkpage message ;).
If anyone has an issue with me sending these out, do drop me a note on my talkpage. Regards, Ironholds (talk) 10:31, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

A structural solution to good-faith deletion battles
Would you look over Wikipedia:Deletions and Openness and see what you think? I agree that civility is part of the problem, but I really think it will be easier to reverse this trend using software, rather than "excommunicating" the quality-control teams from the project. --HectorMoffet (talk) 08:02, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Dispute resolution survey
 Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Okip. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

- Was he blocked for evading a block with a multiple account or for malicious editing with a second account? A shame, he added some good content ツ Jenova20 (email) 16:08, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- As far as I know, he was not under any extant sanctions. The block is for participating in process (in particular, XfD) with multiple accounts which is not allowed since it compromises consensus. — Coren (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- I see. That's a shame as i found User:Dragdrag to be a competent and friendly contributor. Hopefully he will learn from this and come back with a spring in his step. Thanks ツ Jenova20 (email) 16:21, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

- Did he use more than one account at a time? Special:Contributions/Dragdrag shows he was active just one day there on 17 October 2012. Didn't he ask previously for his Wikipedia password to be scrambled since he was spending too much time on it? Where is the sockpuppet investigation at? He didn't seem to be using his main account much at all that year Special:Contributions/Okip and not on the same day or same areas that this other account was at.

- Alternating between abusive socks on different days is still socking, and pretending to be different editors to game the system is still dishonest. Doing so with multiple socks over years is... well, let's just say that the current AN thread isn't heading in an "unblock" direction. — Coren (talk) 20:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- Per the current consensus at WP:AN, I've extended this block to indefinite. That doesn't necessarily mean permanent, so keep the conditions of WP:OFFER in mind. Mark Arsten (talk) 20:24, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- You really ought not to have extended the block before the discussion was closed. No need as it still had weeks to run. Make's it look like the perma ban is a fait accompli. Appalling way to treat such a legendary editor as Okip. FeydHuxtable (talk)
- Well, I agree an indef block looks more punitive than anything else (after all, how is an account block going to prevent socking?) but years of socking used to sway consensus are a very, very serious infraction. I hope Okip gets it and accepts a WP:OFFER. --Cyclopiatalk 22:10, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- It wasn't "years of socking used to sway consensus". He had three sock accounts, one he just started last month, another he used for one day in the month before his latest one was created, and another that hasn't been used since 2009. If he had used any of them at the same time, then it would be a serious problem. Are we punishing him for something done over three years ago, or one of the more recent minor things? Indef ban seems rather harsh either way. Dream Focus 23:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know. I try not to reason in "friends vs foes" terms. I felt close to Okip as an editor, still socking is a very big no-no in my book. Also socking is a stupid thing to do, given that sooner or later, especially if you use it in controversial debates, you are going to be caught, and put yourself in deeper trouble. --Cyclopiatalk 09:58, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to see this - but consensus says banned for now.
Okip - I personally am very sorry to see the outcome here, but after discussion at AN here, it seems pretty obvious that the community has decided you need to take a break for a while. I strongly encourage you to read over the Wikipedia:Standard offer and plan on returning in the not too distant future. I've seen you do some wonderful things for the both ARS, and Wikipedia in general, and hope you'll weather this bump in the road. Best of luck to you in all. — Ched : ? 21:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Agree with Ched, wholeheartedly. Hope to see you back soon -you did mistakes, but you can show you're a great editor again
