'bout the cat city thing. i was under the influence of drugs. won't happen again though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.88.228 (talk) 05:54, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, if I'm understanding your question, there are two answers: (1) Any administrator can remove edits from history, through what's called a "delete and partial restore" method. However, there are still "deleted edits" which are then visible to any other administrator. Someone with oversight access, however, can even delete things such that they don't show up in the "deleted edits" option. (2) Userpages don't need to have extensive vandalism to be semi-protected. In general, no one's going to be editing the userpage except for that user anyway, so there would never be a need for an anon or new account to have access to the page. In the vast majority of cases, any anon who did edit someone else's userpage, would probably be doing so just to vandalize. Since Hobartium does some vandal patrolling, after I saw his page vandalized, I offered to semi-protect it for him, and he agreed. Hope that helps explain, --Elonka 14:31, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi- generally, that's not something admins want to get involved in. However, I can point you in the direction of the Wikibreak enforcer, a script which will prevent you from logging in for a certain amount of time. Just copy it across to your monobook.js, as explained there, and you're all set. J Milburn (talk) 13:19, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you write, when undoing my contributions to Samuel Karlin's page, that my rewrites were "sneaky, very sneaky?"

"Assume good faith" no "Personal attacks"

Don't agree with those basic tenants?

I'd supplied several book citations complete with ISBNs -- which you deleted.

I'd filled in considerable other information about Sam, each time with supportive links from credible sources -- which you summarily deleted.

A careful read would have shown that I relocated the one or two sentences you restored... while you simultaneously obliterated all the other information I'd added.

But, seriously, your "commentary" that my edits were "sneaky, very sneaky" was very, very unnecessary and absurdly inaccurate.

Thanks for the (cough cough) welcome to wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.23.13 (talk) 02:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to be civil here. I understand that disrupting the entire "Michael Kelso" page is unruly and uncalled for, but at the same time, I AM a human being. I am the REAL Michael Kelso and I deserve to be noticed. As you can see by my editing, I was around long before the boy on "That 70s Show" and besides that I'm real. All that I ask is that I may have a small paragraph or two to let the world know my story. Oh and if it's possible, I would like to place a small edit on the John F. Kennedy article for my mother, Janice Faye Kelso (JFK).

Re your message: You're welcome to reinsert it with the ref, but it seems to be one of those random top 25 show things than a true award like say an Espy. I think it was originally added here and then changed here to make it sound like IBM awarded it to him unlike, as you said, was just sponsoring the thing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I blocked him for being a sockpuppet after looking over the contributions. I don't think a checkuser is neccessary as it passed the duck test with a couple of edits. There's an unblock request sitting there right now, but I doubt that is going to get him unblocked. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gee, thank you for the compliment(s), Roadrunnerz45. :-) I'm glad that my work here is still appreciated by someone, as this year I've been receiving more stones than compliments. :-P I believe that you are right when you say that these are times when users leave the project because they somehow get tired of the project. Wikipedia has become quite gray, one often has to ask themselves why are we here. Maybe this feeling started after Esperanza was terminated. Many users supported its extinction because it didn't produce any benefit to the project. They were wrong, Esperanza was one of the few human things on Wikipedia, it provided a little bit of human warmth to the project. Right after Esperanza was terminated, Wikipedia began to get colder, many users stopped getting to know each other and now, well, now Wikipedia is not half as fun. Eventually someone will fix this.

I disagree that there was a "consensus" that the main article should be "Coco Pops" with a redirect from "Cocoa Krispies." One person suggested the change and after a week's time had passed and two people (notably people from "Coco Pops" countries) supported it, the change was made.

I am not going to revert the edits I made to the Coco Pops page. (That is a horribly Anglo-centric and shabbily done page with misinformation, e.g., Coco Pops in Mexico? No, it's Choco Krispis. Indeed, the article ignores the entire Spanish and Portuguese speaking population of the globe -- including heavily populated Brazil -- which knows the product only as Choco Krispis.) Rather, I am resurrecting the Cocoa Krispies page as I had edited it without the redirect to Coco Pops until the problems are (amicably, of course) resolved, for, among other things, the reasons set forth on the Coco Pops talk page.Jhw57 (talk) 15:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I think that this Wikipedian is a real genuine supporter on this site. He truly deserves that special honor you bestowed on him.

I have been having a hell of a lot of problems with editors from ??? these past days. I think that there should be elimination of bad editors who just go around the site making troubles for others. I have experianced this especially over the past few days. Enigmaman is the one who watches out for deliquents on here. I am more than happy he got an award.

Thanks for your revert of this article. Also thanks for providing me with some chuckles. You called the edit you reverted, "dubious unsourced content". Actually, it was downright vandalism, the same kind that plagues both this article and Steve Burns. As the main editor of both, I'm come to call it, "Steve Burns vandalism". Thanks for your quick fix!

I have nominated Surtsey because it does not seem to meet the featured articled criteria 1.(c), 2.(c), and 4. It is quite short, and is not of comparable length to current FA's. It is very under-referenced, and some of them aren't in the {{cite web}} form at all, just in <ref> tags. I do not believe that this fits the FA criteria any longer. You are welcome to comment at the review. Dreamafter (talk) 21:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was added to Wikipedia:Unsuccessful_adminship_candidacies/F right after it was closed, and the user was notified. Even though it was not accepted, it was transcluded, and as such, still failed. In my opinion, it should remain in the archive. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 21:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I think it would be a great idea to include images of each character on their pages. I think one screenshot of each character on their individual pages would be fine, or an image of all the characters in one photo would also be acceptable. To reduce the size of the images I usually use Photoshop or Apple's Preview app (I'm on a Mac). If you want some help resizing images, upload them onto WikiCommons and then I'll shrink them and reupload for you. Howie ☎ 14:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. There is a user on here who loves to target my contributions on Wikipedia. How can one advance on here when you have someone like this fella,User:Indopug. Loves to remove everyhing I do. I can see his only hobby is going around participating in vandalism. A building reputation he has himself focused on at Wikipedia.

I sense he has no knowledge of nostalgia which Cheap Trick (the issue in question) which Cheap Trick is relying on for years. It makes complete sense when there is an article about the topc on hand. I don't even think he has no knowledge about the group. That is an sssumption of mine. A very boring individual who has one offensive pesky task on here,indeed among other's with other more productive interests.

Primitive Indoplug has one indispensible role on here. Bringing trouble and just trailing me. I liked to have some silence on this as soon as possible. Can you do something about it. The end result to this is that you can resolve the issue in hand. How can one be productive on here with ones like him around targeting others. I know he has a history of it on Wikipedia. I've discussed this issue at a few groups/seminars I've attended here in Japan. Wikipedia shouldn't be about bad reactions to contributions. It should be more welcoming. I could say more about this. Perhaps, I will at a later date. Electric Japan (talk) 05:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Are you in Japan as well?

I am not dealing with kids anymore. My schedule is not going to be going on here to have a war of words. This is all that the spotlighted user is about.

I will wait a day or more than take it up to administration.I can't match his vandalistic attitude online. If you want productive contributions then I will add to it...which is fact. I can't understand the mentality of those that refer to themselves as a Wikipedia editor. It makes for a great comedic discussion though.

Thanks, Electric Japan (talk) 05:49, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Australia! Great!

You are exactly right. I use to be Wikipedia's biggest fan. This has changed over the weeks. I am through with edit wars. I don't need it. I am not a fighter who wants to mess up things. I only contribute facts.

This is going to be over for me if it keeps up in this direction. This is the only thing he wants. I couldn't possibly imagine having a conversation with this kind of individual. Releasing anger on the net seems to be something that I have no time for to see from others who claim to be editors. I appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I just woke up. Anyway, the exclamation point is sometimes used because it is supposed to mean "not vote". In some computer programming languages "!=" means "not equal" and the idea of "!vote" was taken from there. Using that terminology is supposed to indicate that it's not really a vote.

To answer your second question, thank you, but I already have rollback--or at least I have a button marked "rollback", which appeared when I enabled Twinkle--but I don't use it very often because it doesn't work very well with my browser. But thanks for the thought. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support at my RFA; it has now closed, and I am now an admin! As a magician, I shall add it to my repertoire, but I guess you've never seen me perform. The word "impressive" would have been used to describe my waistline, not my effects! (grin) Seriously, thank you for your support - it means a great deal to me.

Thanks for the personal message and good luck, you will do fine. Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 05:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aloha to you, too. Thanks for signing my guestbook! Okiefromokla ^complaints 01:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw your comment on the article Gayreece ref it being on Google. Is it?? I tagged it (and the guy removed the original vandalism tag as well which should be noted to an Admin as I think the article is a bit of fluff to be honest. I also think the user should be blocked for a while as they have a couple of warnings. All the best --BustOut' (talk) 10:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for he feedback paaardner :-) --BustOut' (talk) 10:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

and also thank you for adding my post ! I like your name, by the way. I'll check to make sure you're not under MY bed. Kaaskop6666 (talk) 12:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, thanks for that :) Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 14:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see my comment is being pretty much ignored, however... :( __Kaaskop6666 (talk) 20:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note on my talk page about the Abdul Raziq Bugti article. I'm not sure whether its original research, or whether just badly cited. Pahari Sahib 02:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...for the vandalism reversion. Fritzpoll (talk) 08:23, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the positive feedback on that photo. It was taken from a publicly accessible area, Runway 34L Beach - this link has directions to this one and others. I used to get the ATIS info online, runways in use, to help decide which spot to go to. My bookmark for that no longer works but Airservices has this link which may be useful. XLerate (talk) 14:07, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen errors like that before and wondered where they come from. I honestly don't know how it occurs, but I will post something on the WikiProject Trains talk page about it. Murjax (talk) 17:30, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support in my RFA, which passed with 140 supporting, 11 opposing, and 4 neutral. I will do my best to live up to the trust that you have given to me. If I can ever assist you with anything, just ask.

Cheers!

Got it, thanks. If they recreate it I'll protect it. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 04:32, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please take care of this speedy delete. I dont really know what reason to give it. Cheers Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 09:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind helping, though you have me curious: Out of the 1500 or so, Why me? : ) - jc37 09:18, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you want me to reply here. Well a lot of the 1500 are inactive, and i just saw your name pop up on recent changes and looked at your user page and you were an admin. I apologise if your not an admin into deleting or taking requests, drive by sort of. Hopefully i haven't bothered you too much :P Thanks Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 09:22, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're fine. I was just curious. Feel free to ask in the future : )

Though in this case, it looks like User:Stephen got to it before I could. - jc37 09:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind words! Actually, I'm far from perfect... As for the article it looks like nonsense to me (but maybe that's just because I know absolutely nothing about WoW). You could use that as a speedy category if you think it fits. Even though I'm an administrator I have no idea what the alphanumeric codes for speedies are. :) I don't really do much of that. Calliopejen1 (talk) 01:24, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I took it from the M7 cycleway. It climbs up to the top of a hill a couple of kilometres away. I happened to stop there and get some water, otherwise I would have missed it. As for the Western Line, I have no idea when we'll get photos. I don't think there are any Wiki editors interested. I don't really have much time to do that now either. JRG (talk) 03:02, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else has done the job - if you just tag an article which needs speedy deleting, it will come up on the CSD page and an admin will delete in due course - no need to contact admins directly unless a particular problem (ie persistent recreation) jimfbleak (talk) 11:39, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

some info. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 19:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your UP would be really cool if you built it around the monster under the bed theme. Like choose monster colors (green slime, black, blood red, etc.), create an image for your heading using a creepy font, add a bed with monster eyes peering out from underneath, and so on. Things like that.

A free graphics program you could use to create your header image is the GIMP.

I hope you like the touch ups I made to your user pages.

Have fun.

The Transhumanist    02:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on a project that you might be interested in. It requires the use of advanced tools.

No experience required. If you don't have any advanced wiki-tools, we can fix that.  :)

Interested?

Looks like I missed a lot of action in the past few hours. TyrusThomas4lyf (talk · contribs · logs) had a history of edit warring and personal attacks, mostly on NBA related articles, dating back to early 2007 (starting with another alias). This ultimately got him banned. He's had grudges against a number of editors, and I'm certainly one of them, as I can identify him fairly readily through his signature edits, I've reported him in the past, and I endorsed and contributed to the RFC summary Wikipedia:Requests for comment/TyrusThomas4lyf. This time around, he's probably ranting about me since I did tag his user page with a sock-puppet notice (maybe I should have placed it on his talk page instead, as Chensiyuan did) and reverted some of his changes. If you're interested in additional history per this user, you can view a quick summary at Wikipedia:Long_term_abuse#TyrusThomas4lyf. — Myasuda (talk) 16:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re your messages: Sorry about that, I had indeed decided to log off just in the nick of time. It looks like Bongwarrior blocked the IP a few minutes later. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:00, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[1] You can have more than one tag at a time. Makes sure the admin knows you mean business ;) --mboverload@ 07:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I softblocked that IP to force Grawp into the open ... but maybe I should cut it down ... Blueboy96 02:59, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
