Manuel Enrique Mejuto González
Hi there. Regarding the locking down of Manuel Enrique Mejuto González's Wikepedia page. I see you have stated the reason that the page has been locked is due to "disgruntled England fans" - you may want to revise that - seeing as the match that Manuel Enrique Mejuto González was refeering was in fact SCOTLAND (Not England) v Italy. Just thought I should point out the obvious to you!
Regards
RE: irc
Sorry about the delay, I didn't see your message amoungst all the spam, papers and other crap. If you want an irc client Chatzilla is a great one that works with firefox, you can download it here. If you don't want that or don't have Firefox HydraIRC is another good client that works with any web broweser, downloadable form this site. Once you've got your client, if you don't already have one, you can connect to freenode where the wikipedia channels are by typing /server irc.freenode.net or clicking on freenode in a list of servers that some sclients have. The main wikimedia channel is #wikimedia so type /join #wikimedia once you're connacted to freenode. That's a bit of a formal channel but the other main ones (And infinitly more informal ones!) are:
- #wikipedia
- #wikipedia-en
- #wikipedia-en-help
You can connect to those the same way you connect to the other ones. A more complete list can be found at and some more instructions at . I hope to see you on irc soon! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phoenix-wiki (talk • contribs) 20:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

- It was a good report. Clearly indicates unusual circumstances where it is a SPA, not to mention the edit summaries. I would have blocked, just as another admin chose to do. Even AIV has exceptions. the_undertow 00:28, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- No, there is nothing here that makes this account particularly unusual. All vandals start off with a number of edits that are only vandalism, and edit summaries are often part of that. We do not block vandals that have not had a final warning, except for unusual situations such as very rapid vandalism. As I mentioned above this is not an unusual editing pattern for a vandal. Certainly calling it a SPA after a total of three edits to articles and the sandbox stretches the definition of an SPA much too far, an SPA account comes to Misplaced Pages with an agenda beyond simple vandalism. Accounts are usually deemed to be "vandalism only" accounts after a number of warnings and blocks have failed to rehabilitate them. I have recently seen a lot of reporting of "vandalism only" accounts and subsequent indef blocks, for other accounts that have only a handful of edits and this concerns me.

Thanks!
Howdy Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, thanks for participating in my request for adminship. I am happy to say it was successful, 55/0/0, and I am looking forward to getting to work. Thanks for your vote of confidence, and I'm looking forward to your own adminship coming down the pipe. By all means, feel free to check in on my work to come. Suggestions and advice are always appreciated.

Username
I like your username, it is exactly what you stated in your RfA, "a light-hearted play on the idea of a 'dashing cavalry officer' - as I'm an officer myself, I find the stereotype of a 'dashing cavalry officer'". It is not at all offensive or sexist, don't let them bully you into changing it. If they find it so offensive, let them take it to WP:RFCN. That's my opinion. Dreadstar † 09:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- I don't intend to change it unless there's a strong feeling that I should. When I first posted the message, it looked like a severe problem, but in all honesty it now looks like it's just one user with a problem with the coalition military. In any case, they've withdrawn it, so I don't need to worry for now! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 13:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Excellent. Please feel free to let me know if it comes up again... Dreadstar † 18:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations
A consensus has been reached by your peers that you should be an admin. I have made it so. Please review Misplaced Pages:Administrators' reading list and keep up the great work. Sincerely, -- Kingturtle (talk) 22:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations from the nominator!
Congratulations on being an admin! I feel proud of myself seeing that someone I nominated to be an administrator, actually became one! NHRHS2010 talk 23:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- I am reading all the lists of reading material. It's hard work, this administering! Thanks for nominating me, I'll have aa proper thanking message sent out in due course! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- What is it like being a sysop? By the way, well done with your first block! NHRHS2010 talk 23:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's like being given command. It's cool until you see the amount of paperwork... Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- You there. Stand up straight (for God's sake). Well done. I noted your new behaviour at WP:AIV. Carry on. The Rambling Man (talk) 01:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC) Congrats, keep it up, when you can!

AIV -Bleach22 (talk · contribs)
That is not strictly true. An edit that offensive does not mean you have to assume good faith. I have posted one or two similar before and the user has been blocked. In context of his posts even his usernam was intended to be offensive. Decision was yours, and you made it. I don't have to agree with it. Regards. Hammer1980· 15:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- That's true, but having checked the article itself, it wasn't inherently racist. Instead, it was a tongue-in-cheek view about how Birmingham as a city is racist. It was perhaps a little frank on the matter, but wasn't inherently offensive, in my opinion. In any case, the user seems to have abided by the slap on the wrist they were given. Thanks for your message though, I'll take it into account next time I see an AIV report! 15:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Counsel
Hi, I noticed your intervention on Eugenics. I do not know if you had time to read the links I provided but I need your advice. For the first time in almost two years of participation on Misplaced Pages, I'm confronted with a user, user:Azukimonaka, who is not only unable to adequatly understand english but unable to understand how a source is provided on articles and how to read the history of a given article. Thus, for two months, he started multiple edits wars and launched many unjustified violent personal attacks against me, attributing to me all the stuff he did not like or did not understand ]. Those accusations were so weird that some users like user:ZayZayEM or user:Saintjust have tried to take my defense ] but overall, Azukimonaka it is simply impossible to discuss with this erratic user. Given the time wasted in war edit with this user, what can I do ? ZayZayEM and I considered for a moment asking Request for comment, but choose instead mediation on Eugenics in Showa Japan and there is still no mediator... Is that the only way ? --Flying tiger (talk) 16:35, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's certainly the best way. This looks like a complicate case - wait another two weeks to see if someone is willing to intervene. Post a note at WP:AN, to see if someone with knowledge in the subject can possibly intervene in some other way. Hopefully, however, the protection will warn him off. After a Request for Mediation, I believe the next step is the arbitration committee, which is basically as far as it goes! Wait a while before you investigate that though.
- Go and have a nice cup of tea and a sit down, that's my advice - if he resorts to personal attacks, he can be blocked for that I do believe. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 16:43, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Dragon Ball Z
Thanks, but because of the opposing user, the article is currently violating WP:VERIFY, WP:OR, WP:FAN, and WP:MOS-AM#Content. Due to these violations, could you please restore the data back to this revision? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, no. You'll have to get consensus, or get another administrator to do so for you. I'm reluctant to change it: see WP:WRONG. I'm sure you understand! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 22:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- Of course. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:14, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry - no hard feelings, I certainly see your point and I'm right behind you, but me doing it would make things difficult for you in the long run. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 22:17, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- I asked another sysop to help out, if he decides not to get involved, would you know of someone else who can restore the page to that particular revision? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- Try making a posting at WP:AN or WP:ANI. They'll come to a rough concensus, and someone should step forward to do it! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 22:29, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
