User:220.233.86.223 is back. I thought he was permanently banned?

I REALLY REALLY NEED YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT
See here for details: Wikipedia:Requests for Comment/user 220.233.86.223 --One Salient Oversight 05:37, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- he's back Talk:Potter's_House_Christian_Fellowship I obviously don't have the energy anymore to fight this. This guy has managed to work around his banning and continue his attacks on me. Can I please please please trust someone to do the RFC and take up my case against this guy? I had the police in the other night and they had no idea what was going on and couldn't help me. This guy has my address and phone number and is quite mad at me. If you look at the way he writes and the content he puts in, it is obvious that he is off the deep end. Help. One Salient Oversight 22:24, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments on my discussion page Matt. The only reason I'm talking to the guy is that "If he's talking, he's not stalking". Why is it that he got around his banning? One Salient Oversight 21:07, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Calcutta -> Kolkata name change
Hi there. I noticed you voted in the Wikipedia:Naming policy poll to keep the Wikipedia policy of naming an article with the most familiar English name. You may not be aware that another attempt has begun to rename the Calcutta article to Kolkata, which is blatantly not the most common name of the city, whether it's official or not. If you want to vote on the issue you can do so at Talk:Calcutta. Cheers. -- Necrothesp 13:53, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:Fatigue League
Hi there! Thank you for alerting me to this fellow's theft of my identity. I hope I haven't been a little too heavy-handed in nuking his user page, but for Wikipedia's sake (and not just mine), I think it best to put a stop to this kind of behaviour before it goes any further. A click on the USER CONTRIBUTIONS link shows that he has created a couple of trash articles. I've nuked one of them. David Cannon 11:09, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Planes
Hi Matt
I've just uploaded three image files for secret sharing. They might be a bit big, let me know if you want them smallerized, or if you want text labels.
a single plane
two planes intersect along a line
three planes intersect at a point
PGP "data format"
Hi,
In Pretty Good Privacy's change log you write:
- I'm not sure about the importance of "and associated data format"
I think it's quite important given the existence of independent re-implementations of the PGP formats and the consequent need for interoperability; the data format these days has an independent existence and destiny to the software derived from Zimmermann's code. IMO, it's necessary to keep the two separate in order to have a clear explanation of how they interrelate.
In particular, I added that to give myself licence to talk later about "V3 keys", "V4 keys" and so on. (This isn't entirely covered by the discussion of OpenPGP, as "V3 keys" and the associated message formats predate OpenPGP.)
JTN 20:53, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)
the plane! the plane!
yeah sure GFDL is good. I'm not that well informed about the various flavours of Gnu license but from what I read in the article about it, GFDL looks appropriate.
Did you want text labels put on? And would marking the line / point where the planes intersect improve legibility? I can add these if it does.
Added emphasis images are up
I've uploaded images with extra emphasis for secretsharing. see Image:Secretsharing-3-point.png and Image:Secretsharing-2-line.png

I am always courteous to legitimate editors, even when I have disagreements. But I deal with vandals and trolls as they need to be dealt with. It is only because some editors are willing to stand up to people like Skyring that Wikipedia is not an even bigger mess than it already is. Adam 09:35, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Diffie-Hellman key exchange
There isn't any word about Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm in history section of articles Public-key cryptography and Asymmetric key algorithm, I think it is the first public asymmetric-key cryptography algorithm. Am I right? Gbiten 21:54, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
S/Key expansion and images
Hello, this is user Lucw, I am replying to your message about the S/Key article expansion. First of all thanks for the encouragement. The images are my own, I have created them with Dia. I want to make them available in the least restricting license available, it seems like public domain is what I want. I have tagged the images and have added links to the source files (.dia files). I don't know if this in common practice on wikipedia but it seems like a good idea. Lucw 04:23, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Irate seems to have no intention to respond to the RFC. Unfortunately, I'm going away for two weeks, so can't take this any further. I think he needs to be banned, and I think, if he won't promise to reform, the ArbCom ought to be involved. Could I leave this in your capable hands?

Manx (cat) comments reply
Matt, thank you for your suggestions on the Manx cat article. I'm posting my reply to all those who've addressed it seperately to be sure they have a chance to understand as much as possible about me, the Manx breed cat and an invitation to learn more if they wish. I hope you'll find my comments polite and as constructive criticism as that is my intent to everyone I wrote individually.
To The JPS, Peter Isotalo and Matt Crypto who commented about the picture I posted. It's a very sad day when a picture of one of the oldest living Manx breeders known, judging a perfect example of the Manx is not worthy of being posted in this encyclopedia to represent the breed, herself, the breeder and The Cat Fanciers' Association. She's notable enough to have bred and judged registered Manx cats for more than 40 years, bred more than 35 Grand Champion Manx, be shown on the television show "The Animal Planet", written and assisted writing the breed standard for The Cat Fanciers Association (which is the world's largest cat registy), provided articles for magazines and books on the breed ( I could go on and on on her accomplishments with the Manx) yet isn't worthy to be listed on this site, what standards are you going by here? If people truly do not know anything about this breed as has been stated, what basis do they then have to edit and monitor it's content as to what is acceptable and what is not accurate? Makes one wonder if they don't know what is truth and what is not. I would be more than happy to replace the picture in question ( I have better pictures of Barbara judging my Manx that are higher resolution and show more of the cat like you've suggested) however, I don't think this is about another picture. It's about not allowing registered breeders the chance to teach others the truth that any tailless cat can not be considered a Manx cat. I think you should also know, although I was asked to post a new picture it's already been replaced...guess who! Hint: not me! Are you now saying that I should go replace that picture with mine, where does this end? What's the sense of everyone offering their opinions if what they suggest is not given the chance to be followed through? Who's job is it to make sure what's being posted is accurate and to block or stop people from doing as they were not told to do anyway?
As to those who admit they don't know enough about this breed to know what is and isn't correct, now's your chance to learn if you truly wish to. To learn more about the Manx breed cat from someone who has also been a long time breeder for 25 years, has a BS Eng.Phy., MS Ed, is President of the American Manx Club, technical consultant to Karen Commings for Manx Cats: (Complete Pet Owners Manual), (Barons, 1999) and Joanne Mattern for The Manx Cat, (Capstone Press, 2003, as well as being highly respected by Manx breeders and considered an authority on this breed, get in touch with Sherman Ross. His email address is openly displayed on the American Manx Club site. (tahame@juno.com) I'm sure Sherman would be more than happy to speak to anyone about this breed, address their questions and put to rest the MTYH of Manx Syndrome and other genetic stories about this breed that are incorrect. I'm not concerned about letting people know the Manx breed has genetic limitations, I have warnings about it on my website as well. Reputable breeders would never try to hide, cover up or decieve potential owners from the facts. However, I am very passionate about people knowing the "term" Manx Syndrome is just that, a "term". It is what is used by some as a description for illnesses seen by some in the Manx breed cat. However, the illnesses that are covered by the "term" happen in other breeds of animals as well as humans such as spina bifida, incontinence and rectal prolaspe, they're not only seen in the Manx breed. Therefore, those who use it are misrepresenting the "term" and breed. Also, stating "inbreeding causes shortened tails", is not accurate. Sherman tells me if this were true every registered breed of cat would produce some foreshortened tails. When was the last time you saw a bobtailed Persian, Korat, Occicat, etc? Here's where I'll end my comments, I've given those reading this discussion page enough to think over for now, do get in touch with Sherman he's a wonderful human being, loves the Manx breed and is just as passionate about it as I am.

Reverting
Next time you revert something, please make sure that you revert only the things you actually want to revert. When you reverted the bulleted list on WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia back to a table, you also reverted several changes I made (e.g. for one file, you changed the size/length back to question marks). I've fixed this myself now, but in future, please watch out for these things. Thanks. — Timwi 20:37, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Your block of User:Irate
You applied a 3-month block before your previous 24-hour block expired. I think this may had the effect of causing all blocks to be cleared when the 24 hours expired, since this was the first block... actually, I'm really not sure at all how the software works when there are multiple overlapping or conflicting blocks. Anyway, I applied a block for 89 days just now, presumably redundant. -- Curps 04:40, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Alan Turing v Enigma
Hi Matt. Saw your name in the Alan Turing history of edits and it occurred to me that you might be able to cast some light on the following:
The statue of Turing in Whitworth Gardens includes the characters:
IEKYF ROMSI ADXUO KVKZC GUBJ
The story is that this is an Enigma encoding of:
FOUNDER OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
but,
- the number of characters doesn't seem to match
- it would mean that the U in computer had been enciphered as U (http://www.simonsingh.com/Turing_Memorial.html) and it is said Enigma could not do this

Fourier transforms in cryptography
- Any application to cryptography is very tenous indeed,
Really? I'd have thought discrete Fourier transforms appear prominently in cryptography. Michael Hardy 21:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
- They do crop up, yes (the Walsh-Hadamard transform of a boolean function table can reveal lots about its cryptographic properties, for example), but they have very little to do with trigonometry in that problem domain. It'd be a very rare thing indeed for a trigonometric function to feature in a cryptography paper. Crypto maths is really things like probability, information theory, complexity theory, number theory, abstract algebra — to suggest cryptography is an application area for trigonometry would be stretching it. — Matt Crypto 00:40, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- In the uses of trigonometry article, I intended to include all things for which knowledge of trigonometry would be a prerequisite. Certainly one is normally expected to know trigonometry before studying Fourier series, Fourier integrals, etc. Michael Hardy 00:45, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- (Clearly my experience is hardly exhaustive, but...) in the uses of the Walsh-Hadamard transform within cryptography I've seen, knowledge of trigonometry is not a prerequisite. — Matt Crypto 00:51, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

my proposal
Your comment on my page is reasonable. But towards the end of the section in question, I do try to explain why -- when they say AD and BC do not express a Christian POV -- I think they are being hypocrites. Do you think I am misinterpreting what they say, or just that I should express my criticism (because they really do admit that they are expressing a Christian POV) differently?

Vote on policy positions at Government of Australia
I note that Skyring has said that he doesn't intend submitting a proposal for the position this article should adopt on the matters in dispute between him and other uses. I think we can all draw the appropriate conclusions from this. At the expiry of the 24-hour period I gave Skyring yesterday to submit a proposal (10.10am AEST), I will announce a vote at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board and at Wikipedia:Village pump. Since Skyring has wimped the chance to have his views voted on, the vote will be a straight yes/no on my policy position, which appears below. Amendments or alternative suggestions are of course welcome. I have an open mind on how long the voting period should be and how many votes should be seen as an acceptable participation. I will be posting this notice to the Talk pages of various Users who have participated in this debate. Adam 23:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
My proposed policy position is this:
- That in Government of Australia, and in all other articles dealing with Australia's system of government, it should be stated that:
- 1. Australia is a constitutional monarchy and a federal parliamentary democracy
- 2. Australia's head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia
- 3. Under the Constitution, almost all of the Queen's functions are delegated to and exercised by the Governor-General, as the Queen's representative.
- That any edit which states that (a) Australia is a republic, (b) the Governor-General is Australia's head of state, or (c) Australia has more than one head of state, will be reverted, and that such reversions should not be subject to the three-reversions rule.
- Edits which say that named and relevant persons (eg politicians, constitutional lawyers, judges) disagree with the above position, and which quote those persons at reasonable length, are acceptable, provided proper citation is provided and the three factual statements are not removed. Adam 23:08, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Aftermath of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Irate
Seeing you actually did the banning Irate based on the ArbCom decision, I thought you might have special interest in this.
On Meta, Irate created the "m:WikiPedia Liberation Front". I informed Angela of it, it was deleted, or RfD'd (I forget exactly). Then, Irate posted "Do you mind burning your own books." on my Meta talk page, and recreated the said page on Meta, with the text "To liberate WikiPedia from the clutches of those who see it as crucial ego support. Obviously this cannot be done in the ful view of the ArbComm or it's running dogs." Aphaia put the page up for deletion, and Irate has began to live up to his name on the RfD.
Your comment on this deletion process would be much appreciated. Sad to see old cases re-emerge. -- user:zanimum
