Rick, I have a confession to make. Can we discuss it at my private talk page VosConclavo? It's very important; concerns hoaxes and vandalism, please reply at the said talk page ASAP. Regards - 84.154.113.120 22:46, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hello Rick, User:Albanau is engaging once more in behavior that I consider vandalism. I have proven once again that an argument he continues to post is bogus, but he continues to revert it. See Talk:Origin of Albanians, the last section. It is like arguing with a retarded child trying to convince Albanau that his arguments are not admissable in an Encyclopedia. He is spreading misinformation, because sites such as Nationmaster have already transcribed his bullshit across the net. Decius 05:24, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Really in my opinion, if Wikipedia does not put an end to his actions on the Origin of Albanians page, I think the article might as well be deleted (I don't even care if one of his desires---to see the article deleted--would thus be fulfilled, because all the information in the article against the Illyrian idea is already known), to avoid spreading misinformation constantly added by "Albanau". Or perhaps I should erase all his bogus edits and have the page locked. Decius 05:28, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Albanau should be blocked from editing the Origin of Albanians page---I don't need him to be banned from Wikipedia (though that would be fine), but at least blocked from that page. I plan on posting a complaint against him at Arbitrations. Decius 06:35, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Note that he accuses me of also engaging in his type of edit behavior, but the History of the article shows that the only mistake I made was suggesting that Albanians might be descended from the ancient Paionians---this is very possible, but it can be considered original research. At the time I added the sentence I thought it might qualify as demonstratably admissable, but I agree that I shouldn't add my own theories, so I erased that direct Paionian suggestion months ago---what mention of Paionians remains in the text is just the geographical fact that they once lived north of Macedon, east of Albania. That's as far as I went, which in no way compares to his "actions" in the article. Decius 05:42, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I see that from Talk:Finno-Ugric languages, it is possible for a User to be banned from a certain page. This case is worse than the Finno-Ugric case, which got User:Antifinnugor banned from that page. Anyway, the reason I contacted you is to get some input on what steps should be taken.

Your help and common sense is needed. User:Kelisi, has been producing some maps and trying to replace the CIA maps for several Caribbean and South American countries. In my opinion these new maps (which have more detail than the CIA maps) are vastly inferior. They use garish colours, terrible decorative fonts, use a horribly large pixel size and are generally ugly and crowded, and look terribly amateurish and like they were produced on a Commodore 64 or something. Here is a list of maps he has produced . http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Kelisi&hideminor=0&namespace=6. Perhaps the worst example is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Brazilmap.gif . Bizarrly these maps seems to have support from a few people who have been trying to push through their inclusion on several pages. Please see talk:Panama and talk:Honduras.

Salutations. RickK, you are being summoned to a discussion with an anonymous user who calls himself the Fort Bleakeley vandal. He says it is very important. You would do best to join the discussion at my talk page immediately. Please hurry. VosConclavo 11:46, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I am writing this message from India. I am working as a Senior Manager of a premier Bank of India. “Johar Jharkahnd”, the article which was recommended for deletion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Log/2005_March_27#Johar_Jharkhand) was placed by me. I am new to wikipedia and I had just put the article, which I had written for my Bank’s House Journal. Out of context, it certainly looked babelfish translation / weird / contained pidjin-English words and was certainly not encyclopedic. I am convinced that the decision to delete the article was correct. However, I can assure you one thing- the article was never intended to read like a Nigerian email scam.

I am very new wiki and within a week, I have become a wikipedian addict. I am sure to participate in the wiki experience and contribute in a positive manner in creating a free encyclopedia. . Thanks…. Byeee.--Bhadani 13:54, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Please respond to my various comments at Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion/List of General Slocum victims. Thanks. --brian0918™ 20:08, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Nice excuse to avoiding thinking. Is there a valid reason why a list of casualities of 9/11 is allowed on Wikipedia but a list of 1,000 people who died in a previous NY disaster is not allowed on Wikipedia? --brian0918™ 20:23, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I should note that the article is a valid VFU because of the new information that Wikisource doesn't want it either; they want it put on Wikipedia. The original WP VFD wanted it moved to Wikisource. --brian0918™ 21:49, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Rick -- you are blocking me again. I can't help it if AOL assigned me a vandal's number. Please release the block. Thanks. WBardwin 00:44, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Did that take care of the problem? RickK 00:48, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks - I'll try to just log out and then back in if this happens again. Always get another number that way. WBardwin 00:51, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm with AOL at the moment -- are you looking for something more specific than the company/carrier? You'll have to walk me through some things -- I'm more writer than tech! WBardwin 02:36, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

After fussing through a variety of things with a techie friend, I'm afraid the remainder of my computer difficulties are due to the fact that high speed internet is not yet available in our area. -hard to believe, huh. So I crawl along as best I can -- with quite a bit of downtime, interruptions, and broken connections. After all, to the rest of the internet, I'm a dinosaur. WBardwin 22:26, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Rick - FYI: User:RicKk is blocked indefinitely for impersonating you. I rolled back all his edits except his vote on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Chamaeleon since the page had been edited since then, but I left a note pointing out that he was a sockpuppet. User:Rdsmith4/Sig 21:39, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You said, "don't vandalize Wikipedia." What the fuck are you talking about? How do you define vandalism, and when did I vandalize anything? Maprovonsha172 03:45, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

How would I know my anonymous ID? Maprovonsha172 19:47, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

'Screenwriting' (my Favorites link takes me directing to Screenwriting if I want to go to Wikipedia, because I'm waiting to see if anyone adds on to it.) Maprovonsha172 23:28, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Rick, just to let you know, I unblocked User:65.27.80.50, blocked by you earlier, because TheGrza wrote to me saying it is his IP address too, and was used by someone in his dorm who has said he won't vandalize again. However, if you want to reblock, feel free. I'll keep an eye on it, and if there's any more vandalism, I'll block it again myself. Hope that's okay. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:16, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Since you have edited on pages with disputes about the names of German/polish locations, I would invite you to vote on Warsaw/Vote to settle the multi-year dozends-of-pages dispute about the naming of Warschau/Warsaw and other locations.--Schlesier 08:37, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You may be aware of this case. I refer you to some of your comments archived here and wondered if you would like to comment. Paul Beardsell 22:41, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
