Team America

That comment was priceless. I would have used the Super Friends, but as it was, your post nearly made me nose-boot. Thanks. :) - Arcayne () 07:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up! Pedro :  Chat  00:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Incidents Instigated Much?

An IP with a sense of humor it seems. :P I must say these are the most peculiar IP edits I've ever come across. -WarthogDemon 02:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I see. Well, it's been quiet now so maybe not this time. -WarthogDemon 02:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Apathy

My apathy has depths that your apathy is too shallow to even imagine.Kww (talk) 02:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Just An FYI

The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe is held in very low esteem by the general comic book fan/Wikipedia editor subgroup. Lots42 (talk) 01:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

You make valid points. But the usual method is to reference an example. Such as indicating that in BlahBlah Issue (number, month, year), EvilGuy, unaided, punched through an M-1 Abrams tank, then threw a taxi full of accountants into the sun'. That is more clear then saying 'The Handbook says he's really strong'. Lots42 (talk) 01:34, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I think you yourself just clarified why the handbook is not held in high regard. Plus, like I indicated, vague. Heck, IIRC, even the handbook itself said the comics themselves were more definitive. Lots42 (talk) 01:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Heads up

That IP that just vandalized my pages is a sock of a indef-blocked known sockpuppeter. β 00:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Judicial tyranny article

I am curious as to why you summarily reverted my changes to this article, which removed a large swathe of unsourced material which had no relation to the subject, was in many cases indisputably factually inaccurate. I believe my talk page explanation was clear. The material I removed was an attempt to turn a reasonable article into a rather wacky soapbox, and should have been removed long ago. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 03:19, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you for your quick reply and response. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 03:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:ANI

Thanks. Semi-pp'd. Some are TOR nodes, some are not, but it's easier just to deny at present. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

My experience is that they tend to be open until someone tells the operators otherwise. In recent cases, they have been flagged as open and anyone seriously wanting to use those IPs can find others. Misplaced Pages cannot be responsible for its input, in my view. If IP operators tend to be lax about how they allocate IP addresses, then I'd suggest those that use those operators should find a more sensible way of contributing. I know there are difficulties from some countries, but all we have to go on there is how those IP users edit; and currently, it's not looking good. These are not politically oppressed activists, they are nuisances. Feel free to disagree. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's just the nature of anon IPs. Schoolkids tend to be naive, thinking if they don't log in, they can't be traced. Until, of course, we do a 6 month schoolblock and nobody can edit unregistered, which, on balance may be no bad thing. TOR nodes, I can see the advantage of for those who live in repressive countries and have no other way of reaching outside; however, like any open structure, there will be abuse. My own recent professional experience is in detecting paedophiles, and it's a technical nightmare, let alone explaining it all to a jury. Gone are the days of the BBS boards and the overt Usenet groups; even P2P is pretty well sewn-up, so it gets harder and harder. Meanwhile, at least here we can do something to keep it in-house. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I liked the principle of "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit", but having seen the other side, I'm beginning to doubt it. I'm tending towards going for registration with an ISP, not a web-email address. That might lose a lot of good editors, but it would certainly lose a lot of bad ones too. But then, as an admin, perhaps I tend to see mostly the bad side. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Re to Semi-Protection?

Not so; you were being crapflooded in the 4channer style; I deleted the revisions after blocking all IPs involved for three months apiece. -Jéské 02:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

RE:Doobiedoo's Victoria Cross edit

Yeah my trigger hand accidentally fired the rollback button. I restored it right after I realized.¤~Persian Poet Gal 03:04, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Re It's as random IP attack

Will do. Now that I think about it, I remember this happening before. Same exact death threat, too.--Dycedarg ж 03:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Before you post on my talk page...

that was a mistake. I was about to revert myself till you stepped in... 21655 00:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Uncivil?

That's how I feel too, see the collapsed discussion further up my talk page. However, I'm trying as much as possible to stay as neutral as possible to prevent it from getting worse. Hersfold 05:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: school IP

Well, I am using an automatic tool (huggle), so I dont actually look at the vandals' talk pages. Either way, I think you are still supposed to give warnings even with school IPs. J.delanoy_adds 16:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I know exactly what you mean..... J.delanoy_adds 16:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. --Aleenf1 04:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

OrangeMarlin

I scrolled back, and the only possible problem OrangeMarlin might have caused was allegations of incivility toward Hersfold. Can you give me some diffs? I might have missed something in their contribs--unless I was looking in the wrong place. Blueboy96 17:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

wrongly put the warning thank you for reverting it.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 23:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Yes missed out a word.Thank you again.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 23:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

The Great Dolphin Race

Well, I think you were right. They just showed The Great Dolphin Race, and Le Master of Disguise and Match on Mt Olympus were on yesterday... But you probably know all that already! -- Flyguy649 22:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

RE:Just wondering...

Do you mean using rollback on User:Fantasy Game Productions? I doubt it. The user was being obviously disruptive and removing a deletion tag. I don't think you were in breach of 3RR.¤~Persian Poet Gal 00:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Prediction: fulfilled :) --TIB (talk) 23:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Busy night for vandals. Cheers, JNW (talk) 01:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Three Musketeers3

Re your message: I didn't think it was an attack either, but it was a sockpuppet account. I reverted the comment because I noticed you reverted the previous one. If you would have preferred that I leave the comment, my apologies. It took me a moment to figure out what he was referring to, but once I figured it out, I discovered that it's another sockpuppet account. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:58, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: Yup, just a sock. I had to dig around Pascal.Tesson's log to figure it out. Everything's been deleted or blocked so there isn't much to look at. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: deletion closure

Since the article had indeed been uncontroversially deleted, you did close it legitimately. I'd call that good housekeeping. You didn't apply the top template right at the top of the page, so I tidied it up. Were you to close a discussion as a keep, Just be extremely careful with non admin keeps should you close a discussion, and observe Misplaced Pages:Speedy keep and Misplaced Pages:Non-admin closure. No matter how good your judgement may be, avoiding any unnecessary bother that might result from it is best. Regards, WilliamH (talk) 21:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

The wrong closing template was used - one for normal discussion, not the one for AfD debate. See Misplaced Pages:Deletion process. I've re-closed it to clarify it was a speedy by User:Inter. Otherwise it looks as though you made the decision, whereas you were just recording the decision made by someone else. Ty 03:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Backyardigan vandalism

Thank you for the message you left on my talk page. When I blocked the previous IP as per your report to WP:AIV, I went ahead and protected List of Backyardigans episodes for a week. Hopefully this will be enough to give our friend an excuse to find something better to do. --Kralizec! (talk) 00:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
