Per this edit, how can you say that an article about a radio program hosted by John Diliberto and edited by Jdiliberto isn't a COI? Look at his edit history, he has done nothing but spam links to his program and add promotional information to the article. IrishGuy talk 21:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
So now you blank my comments and call it vandalism? Nice. IrishGuy talk 21:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I am posting this comment for the purposes of public record. A number of editors, among them senior WP admins, have communicated with me to identify the above as a single-purpose troll account. In the spirit of not feeding the trolls, and in anticipation of an indefinite block being applied to said account, I will no longer respond to, or consider as valid any communication posted using the "Milomedes" account, as its sole purpose is the active disruption of Wikipedia. Should any administrator require clarification or further information on this subject they should contact me privately via email. -- Gene_poole 21:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
The GDP figure for the Principality of Sealand came from here [1], the Spanish estate agents company thats in a business contract with Sealand. Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 12:11, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
The article for the Sealand dollar could be improved if there were images of the coins. I found the following template and thought that it could be useful in the uploading of images from this site.

Hi. I'm attempting to track down an Arabic-speaking editor for some assistance on an article we're looking at as part of an Article for Deletion debate. The article, Cairo Opera Company, appears to be entirely in Arabic. I'd love to see the article translated, but I'll settle for some indication that the article is worth translating as written, or whether it should be deleted in favor of a fresh start in english. Your user page indicates that you speak Arabic, and you appear to be active - could you have a look for us? If you're too busy, no trouble. Either way, thanks for your time. Best, ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 05:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Need I say it? Sure I do. You outdid yourself again with UT 682. Have you played Burmer and Brennan before? That's what I call headphone music; it's just not the same on speakers, although I did try listening to it on an iPod alarm clock, and it sounded fine. I don't think it's possible to hear the texture and nuance without good headphones. This particular music reminds me of the best ambient film scores. BTW, don't forget about sources for EoA, or even UT for that matter, as I'm chomping at the bit to get started. — Viriditas | Talk 12:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
I thought the new editor was genuinely interested in cleaning up the Sealand article and making it Featured, which is why I spent a lot of time cleaning out old cruft, marking the potentially bad references, copyediting etc. Unfortunately I'm now beginning to believe he's working to an agenda, which is that Sealand is a state. That's really too bad, because if he can't see the big picture he arguably shouldn't be editing the article at all. -- kingboyk ( talk) 20:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi David. I wonder if you wouldn't mind looking at the contributions of Onecanadasquarebishopsgate on the talk page of Principality of Sealand. This new editor appeared a little while ago, and as the weeks have passed his comments have become less and less coherent/rational, and more and more troll-like - to the point where they now seem to resemble those of you-know-who, to a rather uncanny degree. Let me know what you think. -- Gene_poole ( talk) 06:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Arms Avram.GIF. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 06:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
An editor has nominated Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands (3rd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 21:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Rather than continue with this absurd to-and-fro, perhaps you would agree to mediation. Here is the link, you can sign there, [3].
I would like to see this dispute resolved, why not in a NPOV way? Onecanadasquarebishopsgate ( talk) 22:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
In the event that it does go to ArbCom, I want to be notified. Basically, that's it. Also, it gives me a chance to make a statement. I was a party to the discussion of how that editor insisted that Sealand was a part of the scope of the European Micronations Project, and how the stamping of passports by a few countries was proof of being a microstate. I would certainly consider at least adding that information to the statement as well. If you thought it best that I remove myself as a party, however, I probably would. John Carter ( talk) 02:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
As an uninvolved administrator I have left User:Onecanadasquarebishopsgate a rather lengthy disruption warning. [4] The present dispute hardly seems worthy of ArbCom. If you or any observers have any evidence that suggests any sort of bad faith editing, such as sock puppetry by a banned user, please let me know.
Additionally, it would help resolve the situation if you avoided calling Onecanadasquarebishopsgate a vandal, troll, POV pusher, etc. WP:SPADE is just an essay. If he is one of these things, it will be proven soon enough. If he isn't, at this stage such terminology only serves to inflame the dispute. Thank you for that. Best regards, Jehochman Talk 14:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I know that there has been a dispute for the past two months, but ever since the dispute resolution has been restored there has been a lot of progress with the micronation articles and the discussion pages, so I don't think the dispute needs to continue anymore. I do have a question about Atlantium - the capital of Atlantium has been moved to Concordia - yet I don't understand how Atlantian territory exists Would that not mean seccession from Australia as it is Australian land, or is that land more like an embassy or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta?
Thanks ----- Onecanadasquarebishopsgate ( talk) 23:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I made a user category, Category:Wikipedian members of micronations, and added you to it, as I know you are emperor of Atlantium. I hope you don't mind. If you know of any other micronationalists, please add them to the page. -- Micromaster ( talk) 01:50, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Can the images from Atlantium's website be used for Wikipedia? I think the article would benefit from more images - the only ones being used at the moment is the flag and the seal.
Thanks ----- Onecanadasquarebishopsgate ( talk) 17:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
I've tried sending the info to you twice now, and been told each time that your address does not pass the Sender Policy Framework. I'm adding the information from the CIA factbook enclosure to the page User:John Carter/Sealand. The formatting is problematic, but it's what I can do. Sorry for the delay.

After creating those tables I think that the Atlantium article can be, after some more improvement, nominated for good article status (probably better to get good article status first, then eventually featured article status). Atlantium's website has plenty of information and images that could benefit the article, but some of the images require permission. Can I use those images? Since you are the Emperor, I think that your contribution to this will gain the article good article or even featured article status.

A tag has been placed on Template:Hutt River Province table requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>
).
Thanks. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 21:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
It appears our DoM hack is once again back. [5] We'll see if he makes a run at mucking up the DoM articles again. Davidpdx ( talk) 10:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
GP, there was another edit to the DoM article recently. I think this is clearly a "test edit" aimed at trying to figure out of we are still watching that page. Please take a look and let me know if you agree or not. Davidpdx ( talk) 00:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, there has been a problem with the images at
template:AtlantiumFlags. One solution would be to update the images so that Wikipedia had Atlantium's permission to use them - will Atlantium allow Wikipedia to use them?

Wanted to also tell you that I enjoyed the UT "Patagonian excursion" podcast. — Viriditas | Talk 13:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Gene, any chance you can avoid addressing Milo directly, and just discuss his ideas without mentioning his name? If you can, then adminstrators will be able to see that he's the one doing the trolling. In the past, the problem has been your reaction to his trolling. Don't react, just ignore him, and I'll report his behavior to the appropriate people. But every time you react to him, it makes it look like the two of you are responsible for the same behavior. So please, stop reacting to his jabs and we might be able to make some progress. — Viriditas | Talk 06:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
BTW, UT672 is downloading right now per your suggestion. What do you think of Stephen Kent and Trance Mission? I wanted to add some sources to remove the unreferenced tag, but I'm having some trouble. I found a few, but one is self-published and the other isn't as good as it could be. Having seem them perform before, I'm sure there's good press coverage somewhere. If you know of anything, let me know. Which brings me to the question of categorizing their music. Is this electroacoustic music or some other form of ambient? The self-published book calls it "Electronic Ambient World Music", so should I just tag it with electronic music and world music cats? — Viriditas | Talk 12:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I am curious as to why you deleted Gemnoviag from "List of Micronations" when it clearly has over 500 hits on Google which is more than other micronations such as Alantium. So if Gemnoviag is an "unverified nonsence claim" than several of those are too. So if you are going to delete something like this and how you classify it is rubbish maybe it's time to take it down a notch and do a bit more research... Furthurmore I would like to point out that on your page for Alantium is referenced as only two are reliable sources. All but those are references to the "governmental" site. Obviously given what you are putting on is only using two reliable claims you are under cited. Given someone took the time your article is qualified for the Articles for Speedy Deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.32.220.117 ( talk) 22:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Gene Poole. I blocked because of 3RR; the discussion that occurred on his talk page was evidence of communication, and a defence of editing. Davidpdx acknowledged his awareness of the defence by replying, but he still continued to revert. This is not acceptable, and should have been taken to dispute resolution, i.e. a request for comment before the 3RR was broken. Furthermore, no evidence has been provided that Mattfray is a sockpuppet, and we can't assume that they are; if one suspects it, there are proper channels in which concerns should be raised. I've advised dispute resolution following the block's expiry, in order to avoid edit warring. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 12:14, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
GP, thanks for coming to my defense. I just took the block like a man and it doesn't mean much since I don't even edit on Wikipedia much anymore. Awhile back I was labeled a sockpuppet and had to argue to get cleared of that. It just goes to prove how unstable Wikipedia has become.
I put a note on the talk page saying I was perfectly happy with the changes you made, but that I don't believe they will stay given the history of the DoM POV crap that's gone on. I'll continue to watch it as I can. Davidpdx ( talk) 05:38, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
