User talk:Siskus

Hi Siskus, you seem to have annoyed REXX contributors. Could you answer their polite questions rather than just deleting them as I think they are worried that you will make further edits of the sort they would like to have a dialogue with you about. --Paddy3118 (talk) 17:31, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

P.S. There is also a question on the talk page of this page you created: Form:TaskImplmented. Could you have a dialoge about that too? Thanks. --Paddy3118 (talk) 17:31, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Annoying REXX contributors

Hi Paddy3118,

Congratulations you are the first inquirer on this page. Those gentleman are not so polite as you think. They are completely unaware about Wiki and Wikitext and even HTML is a struggling. They really think that they own the code that is committed. Maybe could you teach them a lesson about Intellectual Property under GNU. Furthermore they are so funny; they are the Statler and Waldorf of Rosetta Code and there pure monoglot contibution is a show called REXX. The right name for a dinosaur. :-)

Truly, you are first on this page, Have fun. --Siskus (talk) 20:36, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Yes, some users on Rosetta Code have ongoing(!) difficulties with wiki formatting and, occasionally, ettiquette. They are not, however, habitually rude or obnoxious. They have also not insulted other users' wiki ettiquette while at the same time showing a total lack of respect for other users, their langauges and their code. You had one warning already. Because I simply don't have time to deal with the barrage of complaints I get about you (despite the complaintant's curteously acknowledging my lack of time and clearly extended execution of patience), and because you didn't seem to get the message the first time I banned you, I'm banning you again. This time, for one month. This *is* your final warning; if I have to ban you again for any reason, it will not be a temporary ban. Congratulations would be in order, too; in the seven-year history of this wiki, you would be only the second non-spammer I'd have ever felt the need to perma-ban. Please shape up. This wiki is fundamentally built on cooperation, congeniality and respect. If you cannot manage to imbue those attributes most of the time, or at least fake them, then there will be no place for you here. --Michael Mol (talk) 22:17, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

As for me I am truly shocked and appaled by this unbelievable reaction!

This is far off the behavior I am used to on this Wiki! Siskus, you need not respect REXX but at least stay awy from it! --Walterpachl (talk) 22:26, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

By the way, If you think that adding my request on your user page was inappropriate you could have told me (politely). (I apologize if this annoyed you.) Either there or on my user page or via email which you find on my user page. Permit my not sharing your kind of humor. --Walterpachl (talk) 23:26, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Walter,

At last you reached it, this discussions page. Q: Is that supposed to be a punishment, to stay away from that "Stick a fork in it, we're done" goings-on? (That phrase is essential code for the successful execution of the program. Deletion the phrase would ruined the program, I learned from an expert.)

Please keep off my user page and stay in your "own" REXX cellar. I must congratulate you that you have noticed the humor. We had a big laugh about it.

Have fun. --Siskus (talk) 12:12, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

A: Consider it a blessing (for you)

B: Look for another expert! What she or he told you is rubbish

C: Good for you that you can laugh. I can't

D: You have still not answered the question in the Rexx solution to ranking languages by popularity (or removed the 'invalid' note you placed there. Would you be so kind?

--Walterpachl (talk) 12:23, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Can I have your suggestion how to communicate properly and professionally? --Walterpachl (talk) 12:23, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

In case you "forgot":
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code/Rank_languages_by_popularity#REXX

This example is incorrect. Please fix the code and remove this message. Details: Program does not properly ranks tied counts, counts are not accurate, PARI/GP is missing
