| As an anonymous unregistered user, you called my Misplaced Pages contributions 'nonsence'. Please imply which article you are referring to, as I have never added nonsence to Misplaced Pages. I am a good boy, and have never vandalized anything in my life. It may have been a bad edit but I did not read the manual on my first article, ]. It may have been bad, but I have never purposefully vandalized Misplaced Pages.--] ] 15:45, 1 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == "Non-existent category" vandal == | |||
| The vandal ] (]) and ] (]) is mostly misguided, but it refuses to take direction. It's back adding non-existent useless categories. It continues to be tiresome to those of us who constantly have to revert its "edits". When asked before, you gave it a short three hour block, reasoning that it might be better than a long block, and that the user might get the message. Well, it is incorrigible. Short blocks and warnings aren't sufficient at this point. Please block it for a more substantial period like a week. Thanks. ] 04:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Multiple AFD nominations == | |||
| Please don't move AFD nominations around unless you take the time to correct every link. In the case of Once Moore, you orphaned the original nomination and broke the link which had been in the renomination. I'll clean it up but frankly I'm curious why you bothered.

| :I was not the one who moved the original AfD (check the history!). I was just as upset as you are about the way it was done, which is why I replaced the redir on the Talk page with a proper link. ] ] 13:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Block on 195.92.168.175 == | |||
| Are you aware that this address is a webcache belonging to one of the UK's largest ISPs? You already blocked this last night, and I can't edit at all via that ISP when this happens. I don't know the exact mechanism for cache<-->user allocation, so I can't always get round it. | |||
| Is it not possible to block anonymous edits from that address, whilst allowing logged-in users to continue editing? Users are easier to block without collateral damage, and new accounts can be similarly blocked as soon as they appear (if they are obviously conduits for vandalism). | |||
| ] 12:46, 3 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I don't see any block on ]. I blocked seven different IPs last night, but none of them look similar to the one you mention. What is the exact message you get when you're blocked? | |||
| :: I don't know; it's gone from the cache now. Sorry. It definitely mentioned 'MogLAWL' as the reason it had been blocked, and had your name as the person responsible (and for contact). ] 16:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I strongly disagree. It is a long-standing policy that a user may do what they want with their own userspace (subject to using it for personal attacks/advertising), and ArbCom has confirmed this policy in a number of cases. Trying to force a message to stay in a user's userspace despite that user clearly demonstrating that they don't want it there is considered disruptive and abusive. This policy is so long-standing that it is inappropriate to seek to over-ride it via a discussion on one proposed template's talk page. | |||
| Combatting vandalism is important - but that does not mean we should take measures that interfere with the normal operation of Misplaced Pages to do so. If someone's vandalising - block them. Put a message on their talk page and leave a clear edit summary for all to see. | |||
| My take on this is the opposite. I have seen too many very inexperienced admins come in and over-react to situations - labelling people as vandals who are not, misunderstanding fundamental policies, and all sorts of other mistakes. I really don't see it as appropriate to give those admins so powerful a hand that they can insist that their musings remain evermore on a user's talkpage. | |||
| Also, many, many people remove warnings of various sorts from their talkpages on a daily basis. Insisting on keeping those warnings on talkpages, when it has happened, has only exacerbated and increased the dispute. It would be foolish to go down the route of suggesting that anyone who removes a warning from their userpage should be blocked. I oppose the idea wholeheartedly, ] 22:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Regarding the block on ] == | |||
| Thanks. That guy's edits have been bugging me for days. --] 20:52, 6 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Could you take a look at this? == | |||
| seems to be obsessed with Igor Shleypak, whoever that is, and lately hunting down the word Palestine and changing it to Israel. It seems like vandalism to me, but I could be overreacting. I've done a little bit of reverting, but only when it is obvious. This case may be a bit to subtle for me. Thanks.--]] 20:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :I checked some of your attempts to add vandal-handling tools to your monobook scripts. If you are not fluent in Javascript, I think your best bet is to simply copy all of my scripts, and then carefully remove the parts you don't need, making sure it still works after each change. I think my system of a separate button for each type of warning is more efficient than the template you are trying to create. Give it a try, and if you need help tweeking it, give me a shout. ] ] 00:24, 8 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| hi, this is Zarbon. I'm very annoyed at a member named Infinare. he keeps putting in wrongful and opinionated information. He keeps deleting all the real info i put in for zarbon in the dbz section. he constantly follows my edits and reverts them on purpose and vandalizes on a constant basis. he needs to be blocked permanently or i know for a fact he will continue to make moronic vandalisms. please reply OwenX. | |||

| Looking things over, it actually makes more sense as a separate AfD, I see. If it were an article on say, an individual like Ian Ricci with content that's mostly the same, I guess it would be alright to redirect and combine the AfDs. Since these are somewhat different entities, separate AfDs are appropriate. Next time, I'll put separate AfDs and reference the other in my nomination. -- ] (]) 20:58, 8 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hello, OwenX. I noticed that you informed ] that the IP address {{user|169.244.143.115}} was an open proxy. It's my understanding that that IP address is a public-use computer for Maine Department of Libraries - do you have any reason for indicating that as an open proxy IP address? Thanks! ] <small>(])</small> 01:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks for the reply. I don't disagree with having the IP blocked, but if it isn't an open proxy, it shouldn't be tagged as such and blocked indefinitely. (My understanding is that it's only (a) public-access computer(s), but I may be missing technical evidence Hall Monitor has, of course.) In addition, the reason this came to my attention is because the IP address is used by some legitimate editors, such as ], whom I'm currently mentoring after an Arbitration case against him a month or two ago. While we wait for Hall Monitor to reply, though, I'm going to take the liberty to unblock and then re-block for a week while we figure out what to do in the meantime. Let me know if you disagree. Thanks! ] <small>(])</small> 01:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
