Greets RickK, 've had no contact so I'll check my stuff...did you get my original message? --Esseye 13:33, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I thought I'd written an ok article about Anita Diamant but when I thought about what you'd said I tried to re write it. Check it out and tell me what you think. Bremen 10:33, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the input...I've never wikified an article before...someone else always seems to do it for me, but I'll see what I can do. Bremen 22:22, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Greetings Rickk,

I am not sure if this is the correct place to talk to you, but i am just looking into the site and i happen to come up with vote for deletion, and i saw http://sparknrg.websspace.com/TheNewAge.htm article was put up for voting to delete, and reading the policy i see it should be deleted, even though it was my work i see my name should not be at the end of the article on this site, if also you think it is ok to keep the article and take the name out I will be happy, I see you do editing so please feel free to check the article and do necessary changes in which might help the reader better understand the work

thanking you most kindly sparkle*

Hi RickK,

Just went through Newpages and I thought I wanted to let you know that there is a template {{POV check}} for articles that may be biased/POV to be used rather than {{POV}}, which is usually reserved for POV/biased articles that are disputed between editors.

Is back. Haven't been involved in the VfD so I don't want to delete it, just a note to let you know. Rich Farmbrough 13:11, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's back. Resistance Manifesto. -Willmcw 00:43, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. -Willmcw 01:19, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Apparently a chief concern of the "Resistance Movement" is the monument known as the Georgia Guidestones. Links to the recreated article re-appear there occasionally. AFAIK, the "movement" is a website. Thanks for your efforts. Cheers, -Willmcw 05:23, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I guess not. However, he's most likely a sockpuppet and probably a troll. Feel free to unblock though—I don't mind at all. Neutrality^talk 05:47, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Rick, our new Glaswegian chum appears to be well versed in Wikipedia, creating nested macros. See his use of {{User:212.100.250.215/0808 570567|service=[[social science]]|name=John McGloin, [[Glasgow]]}} here. I've never yet gone through the process of proposing to delete a macro and right now lack the necessary time to read up on the procedure. Over to you I'm afraid. (No need to reply; but if you do, please reply here rather than on my page. Thanks.) -- Hoary 08:16, 2005 Mar 20 (UTC)

I didn't create a bogus userpage: it was my userpage. I don't agree with the racist remarks that were made above and will be making a formal complaint by email to Jimbo Wales. Reply here.--212.100.250.215 08:29, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

LOL. RickK 08:30, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

...on the other side of you face soon. ...at 08:31, 2005 Mar 20, the spammer User:212.100.250.215 shyly refrained from identifying himself as the author of this scintillating comment

You deleted this article, but I could find no evidence of a deletion debate at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/California English, so I restored it. It seems like a perfectly reasonable article. I'm curious why you thought it should be deleted. Nohat 08:30, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

California English is demonstrably not the same article as California Accent. I really don't think it should be deleted. I won't revert you if you delete it again, but I really think it's not necessary to have to go through the red tape of VfU. Nohat 08:39, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I never saw the old article Californian Accent, but from what I read at its VfD archive, it seems to have been nonscientific, impressionistic drivel. The article you deleted yesterday, California English, was not a restoration of deleted content; it was an encyclopedic article reporting on published linguistic research, i.e. not original research. And however much native Californian nonlinguists insist either (1) they don't have an accent or (2) there are lots of California accents, the fact is linguistic research shows that there are generalizations that can be made about California English as distinct from other U.S. accents. Please let the article remain. --Angr 08:48, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Pardon me if I may butt in here (or even if I may not), but whether or not there's such a distinction, the article would certainly belong at California accent, not "California Accent" (note caps). --John Owens (talk) 09:50, 2005 Mar 20 (UTC)

Thank you SO much for expanding that article. Lalo was one of the nicest people on the planet and it blew my mind to see a red link the other day, so I slapdashed something together. - Lucky 6.9 00:07, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I kinda sorta know his son, Mark, but I don't know how to get hold of him. I have at least one other person I can ask. I'm glad you're the guy that added the link to the "recent deaths" page, BTW. - Lucky 6.9 00:14, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Ah, good! Thanks for the tip. Signing off... - Lucky 6.9 00:18, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think it probably is fair use, but if the anon is a person from that site, then we ought to at least let it be listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems for a week rather than keep reverting him. See also my comment on Wikipedia:Copyright problems. I'm probably just being overly-cautious on anything that appears like it could be a takedown notice even when it's legally not one. Angela. 06:54, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

Hi RickK, I noticed you rfd'd Penis envy. Would reverting to its state a week or so ago, before it was redirected, be a good solution in your view? Thanks. -R. fiend 07:21, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I guess you saw my achievement in trying to fix a misnamed new article -- is there a better way to do such things? Thanks. Joefu 07:25, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I think it is a legit first-time user article where the user couldn't name the thing -- will try to sort out. Joefu 07:29, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for suggesting I update the Shetland Islands page. It'll take me a few weeks but it is definitely something I can do. I will probably also create a page for Up Helly Aa, a pagan fire festival that has great importance in Shetland. Thanks again. Christhomson 08:16, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed you put a tag for Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/2006_Maryland_State_Senate_District_31_Election and there is a nice turnout for the vote. However, a question was raised that the vote should be finished by now, and I was wondering when you think the vote should stop. Thanks. Zscout370 19:14, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Me and my friend are sorry.

Hi RickK, I agree that the autofellatio.jpg listing on VfD is invalid. What is one to do to enforce that? TIMBO (T A L K) 00:58, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

In that case, I wonder if someone would delete this one? (I'm not an admin). TIMBO (T A L K) 05:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. I've left a note on WP:AN. TIMBO (T A L K) 05:59, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Please butt out, you have no business reverting my non-login user page. 216.153.214.94 06:53, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why do you call my comments "nonsense" without elaboration? What is nonesensical about them? Did you read my reply to you on the requests_for_page_protection page? (Have your read nonsense?)

Also - how do you define vandalism? The Wikipedia definition is that it is editing "in bad faith". I was trying to communicate with you serious concerns about the article and your reply was to brush off my concerns as "nonsense." And you ordered me to "stop deleting valid data" without even entertaining a discussion with me about those deletions - perhaps they were justified? But no - you had your mind made up and weren't interested in a discussion - that much you made clear. Where is your good faith? By the defintion your actions (especially banning me without a chance to reply) are much more akin to vandalism than mine.

By the way - some of your comments come across as sarcasm (see sarcasm defined as "mocking"). Is that your intention?

Please reply to User_talk:Narcissus14

Regarding GRider's 'Socratic' VfD nominations and the ensuing reactions by voters, please read and comment on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/GRider2. Thanks. Radiant_* 12:23, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

I've been working to help clear out the Category:Move to Wiktionary category. Well, a few pages were deleted (as they should have been) after being transwikied and I was going back to add the {{Transwikied and Deleted}} tag to the talk pages and I goofed up. I accidently added the tag to the article page for the following: Yafla, Yago, Youse, Immaturity, "creative differences", which means that I re-creatd by accident pages that were just recently deleted. As an administrator could you please go through those and re-delete them. Sorry for the inconvience. Kevin Rector 14:25, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

Also, if you delete the talk pages along with the article pages I won't re-add the template. Kevin Rector 14:34, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Kevin Rector 20:45, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

I noticed that you've tagged a lot of the Andromeda as in need of cleanup. Any particular reason? I've been going around and editing them, so I'd like to know exactly what it was that you were looking for. Thanks. Entroki 01:05, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hey Rick, this is to say thank you for voting for me in my adminship nomination. I really appreciate your support. I hope you'll give me a shout if you see me doing anything I shouldn't, or not doing something I should. ;-) Best, SlimVirgin 02:53, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

Despite our differences Rick I would just like to thank you for your warning regarding CPS. He has apparently removed my comments a second time on a VfD yet left his allegations intact. Megan1967 04:50, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello, there's this pesky little rule that only non-stubs will be included for featuring in the section. Would you mind to expand Ninety Mile Beach to something over 1000 bytes so I can use it within the next 2 days? -- Mgm|^(talk) 09:23, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

I notice that on March 4th, you reverted one of User:Faethon's sockpuppets on the Greece page. Another of his sockpuppets, User:Aeropus II of Macedon, seems to have re-added what you reverted. I have no idea if what he added is true, but since you reverted him before, I assume you can tell the difference, so you might want to check it out. --Calton | Talk 12:02, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC) (note to RickK - just fixing a typo here, no new content]

And now User:Aeschines Socraticus has just appeared. --Calton | Talk 05:47, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. I tihink that the author had a prety good take on wikipedia - probably not how an insider would have done it but that's okay. I would like to say, though, that I am much better looking than the picture suggests. whooops, I guess this in NOT a NPOV statement. Carptrash 17:56, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Oh, that's hysterical.

Anyway, now that you're of the collective, there are some handy firefox extensions that make wikipedia a bit easier:

• Wikipedia extension - puts handy edit things on the context menu of a text input (bold etc)
• Nuke anything - allows you to temporarily kill any object in a webpage. This is invaluable when a vandal adds a floating DIV with an image on it, occulting the links on the page you want to use to revert him. You nuke the graphic, and hit the link.
• Unread tabs - makes tabs you've not read yet show up in italic. Invaluable if you're mass-reverting / mass checking a vandal - you can load a bunch of pages in tabs, and this reminds you which ones you've already looked at.

Adblock is great in general, but not specifically useful for wikipedia. -- John Fader (talk | contribs) 22:54, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Greetings. I'm contacting you because you voted to keep Image:Autofellatio.jpg, but you indicated that part of your reasoning was because the image was not demonstrated to be a copyright violation. Someone recently found the image on http://www.wowboy.com/welcome.htm, a porn pay site, with the notice "© WowBoy 2001-2004, All rights reserved". I don't know if this changes your vote or not, but I thought you might want to know. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 02:27, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for helping moving this article back. I just moved the talk page back too. This page moving business is a very sneaky type of vandalism. — Knowledge Seeker দ 09:09, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Good idea. This type of deliberately insidious vandalism probably does merit a block. I'm going to keep a close eye on this User:Albanau and on Origin of Albanians. You're welcome to block; I'm a new administrator and hesitate to block someone without at least a warning (by me or another), but then again this is far worse than garden-variety vandalism. — Knowledge Seeker দ 09:38, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I checked — there is such a person, though the article was mistitled. I've moved it, and slapped various templates on it. If I get the chance I'll clean it up myself. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:59, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Rick. Has Coolcat made it to your radar screen yet? He's run-up about 2,500 edits in less than two months and is 'policing' articled related to Turkey (465 of his edits were yesterday!). Places you might want to check-out are Talk:Armenian Genocide, Talk:Nagorno-Karabakh, Kurdistan Workers Party and Abdullah Öcalan. On the two talk pages he has presented himself as a 'mediator' in spite of his strong Turkish POV. Most disturbing is his Armenian Genocide denial; he refers to those who do not share his view as 'pro-genocide'. — Davenbelle 11:50, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Good to know you care enough to take time out of your busy schedule to screw with me and everyone else who happens to read that talk page. -- Netoholic @ 07:01, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)
