	== Who's handling MG now? ==

			== Administrators' newsletter – January 2024 ==
	After PMDrive's retirement, I've noticed that nobody else has decided to take his place to remove MG. I feel that unless someone is keeping a close eye on him, he'll just end up spawning more account hives and still performing edits when he shouldn't be. Any info on this? <font color="#94887C">]</font> <font color="#D2CDC6"><sub>]</sub></font> 10:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

			] from the past month (December 2023).
	:Nobody was handling MG, per se, though PMDrive was certainly good at finding him. Other admins have blocked MG sockpuppets in the past. If you find some that need blocking, feel free to drop me a line and I'll block them. I've added his page to my watch list, but I don't monitor his usual targets, so I'm not likely to find his new accounts. -- ] (]) 23:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

	::That's what I mean, he was pretty much the sole person trying to remove him for good even though nobody wants to take action as he's not a Grawp level of vandal. You can't simply keep playing Whack-A-Mole with his sockpuppets each time one pops up and I also reckon keeping a well updated list of his most recent accounts is good either, even he edits it! No, something does need to be done because regardless of if he's being malicious or even editing in good faith, he remains an issue and I'd like to see if those who have dealt with MG in the past can make some form of coordinated effort to get this guy community blocked. I know PMDrive tried very hard, even asking Jimbo and others higher up the food chain than the local admins here for some action and nothing has happened and makes a mockery of the anti-vandal system. <font color="#94887C">]</font> <font color="#D2CDC6"><sub>]</sub></font> 10:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

	:::He's already been community banned, so it already is block on sight. Apparently whatever ISP he uses has a large IP pool and too many other active or potentially active editors to make a range block worthwhile without collateral damage. Unfortunately, beyond that, there isn't much more admins can do about that. Going to the Foundation, I would imagine he isn't a high priority compared to other more prolific and destructive vandals like Grawp. -- ] (]) 03:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

	::::Interesting, didn't know most of this before, ] is the only thing available then? They are right, he's no Grawp and is merely an irritant to those who know his past behaviour but I'm thinking of a few other vandals similar to MG in having a large IP pool from which to vandalise and nothing can be done about them either. Hm, I'll keep the list upto date (which I reckon MG keeps as a nice trophy) but I only ever spot him when he strays into my watched articles so you might miss a few. <font color="#94887C">]</font> <font color="#D2CDC6"><sub>]</sub></font> 09:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

	Hi, MG. I got your e-mail and I'd like to thank you and Treelo for recognizing my efforts. I guess I misunderstood your message; I thought I was being linked with MG! :) Anyway, it was I who'd contacted his mom under my original "Lucky 6.9" username. An early sock was named after his mom's e-mail account and I took a chance on trying to make contact since he was becoming so prolific so quickly. She's the one who told me about him. I remember her telling me that she monitored his computer use and made sure that he stayed off of chat rooms and such so that no one could take advantage of him; I'm glad she doesn't view Misplaced Pages as a threat! I answered back, explaining the severity of his actions over here but I never heard from her again. That e-mail address was from Road Runner Cable in San Diego; another was an e-mail address for an account with Cox Cable, a major provider in San Diego. They even sponsor the sports arena at SDSU. I agree he's no Grawp. That lunacy is perpetuated by bored teenagers who stumble on the ED entry, come here and play copycat. Unless ED puts a stop to it (which they won't), the "whack-a-Hagger" will simply continue until they get tired of it. As for me, I kind of got tired of the game myself, started lashing out at those responsible and getting my own butt chewed out for a lack of civility. Anyway, thanks again for the recognition. It's hard to stay away, but I'm trying. :) Later. --] (]) 14:49, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

For all the Ips it was their first block, they hardly received any warnings if at all and ] he blocked indefinitely.

	Hi Gogo Dodo,
			</div>

			] '''Guideline and policy news'''
	I'm writing with regards to the Oxford Martial Arts Academy. I think OMAA is significant in the following ways:
			* ] of the ] has commenced to improve and refine the proposals passed in ].
	- this is the first academy in Oxford offering a variety of martial arts training
	- OMAA has the ONLY professional ring in Oxford. I've been there myself and the ring is really something that Oxford needs.
	- OMAA's instructors have international standing - see Des Brackett and Luciano Pereira.
	- OMAA works closely with the community (Oxford Council and the Youth Justice Board, of which I am a member)to try to get kids off the streets and therefore reduce crime rates in Oxford
	- OMAA can best be described as a social enterprise, and this is the first time (to my knowledge; and I've been working in the industry for a very long time) that a martial arts academy concentrates alot of time and effort in community work. I do, however, really think you should keep the page up and not delete it.

	Just wondering why you deleted Strike the Choir's article. I, being a fan, believe they deserve their own article as they are as big as they are. They play regularly with bands such as Fear Before the March of Flames, and The Number Twelve Looks Like You. Their CD was recorded by Tyler Orr and Cody Bonnette (of As Cities Burn) and they're notable for their mathematical time signatures mixed with the screamo genre. What is not important about any of that?

	Hello Gogo Dodo!

	I am a new user on wikipedia and just wanted to ask if my new page could be removed from the deletion list. My new page is ] and i still have a lot i want to do with it. I think the reason it was considered is because it starts off like it should be in wiktionary. but yeah just give me some time to make it better.

	Thanks!

	Can you help me then, I am new to this. I don't know what you mean by explain why she is notable. She is the whistle blower basically. It's like why is Sherron Watkins important to Enron. That is who she is in this story. How is that not important?

	forget it, i don't care now, i'm not going to bother trying to contribute. my first attempt at participating was to edit someone else's entry and as i was doing it it was deleted. there are very credible authors who have written about her role in bringing justice to the Follieri fraud but instead of offering help my first attempt was met with a speedy deletion. So clearly there is no interest in contributors who aren't an administrator, it's an encyclopedia dictatorship apparently and you deem what the importance is. She is the whistle blower obviously and is even noted as such in the Yucaipa lawsuit against Follieri. It's all information readily available and easily verifiable.

	== User:HorseGirl070605 ==

	I've been concerned about this user for some time, know you've had a run in with her in the past so lets' get down to the issues at hand. This user seems to have an issue with co-operation and has had spates of adding original research and for whatever reason adding the same phrase to various articles. Several times during her tenure here she's blanked her talkpage anytime someone told her something she didn't like or was given warnings. That in itself is not bad but the constant references to "I will work with others" seems to makes me think she takes ownership of all she edits and does not want to work with anyone else willingly, even going as far as asking for adminship to prevent anyone but herself editing an article . I can tell she's young but there's a history of this user being very incivil towards others and generally I don't think her attitude is something that should be tolerated even if it is a passive aggressive stance she's taken. Talk to her if you like but she's very unresponsive to others and I have no idea how much traction you'll get out of that if any. <font color="#94887C">]</font> <font color="#D2CDC6"><sub>]</sub></font> 11:09, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
	:Back to give a little tap, two people have had to give her warnings regarding her conduct and it's been an issue since she joined in February even though she has come close to a block several times but never actually modified her editing style. Keeping out from under the radar is no excuse for making statements of ownership and even though it's not extreme vandalism or bad faith editing, I still reckon some form of admin intervention should be done given the persistence of the editor. Just keeping you aware. <font color="#94887C">]</font> <font color="#D2CDC6"><sub>]</sub></font> 09:59, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
