Response

I responded to your comment on my talkpage. --Valley2city 07:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Vandals

Thanks for the quick response --Steve _(Stephen) 22:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

You're right of course, it wasn't so much the talk page blanking as the disruption that wasn't going to go away. Thanks for clarifying. --Steve _(Stephen) 23:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for protecting the ACN Inc. page. It seems there are some people with vested interests in keeping the page vague. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tristan.buckmaster (talk • contribs) 23:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC).

Thanks!

Thanks coelacan!

And re: This. As the proud father (and rabid feminist since her birth), of a strange, wonderful, beautiful, perfect and gay daughter, I can assure you that yes, women do have lives, and that sanity and tolerance will eventually prevail in this country. The dinosaurs will die off, they always do.

Daniella Morris

Hello, I moved this page for capitalization and then came across the prior deletion discussion which you participated in. Can you please use your mop to see if this page is a simple recreation vs. new content? --After Midnight 04:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

It's pretty close, and I strongly suspect that this is the same article author using a different username. However, the first article did not actually get deleted at that AFD; it was speedy deleted as {{db-author}}. So {{db-recreation}} wouldn't apply anyway (as WP:CSD#G4 only works if an XfD resulted in deletion). So, sigh, this probably has to go to AFD again. The sources still aren't "sources", for the same reasons I outlined in the old AFD. Do you want to do the honors, or shall I? — coelacan — 04:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't matter to me which of us does it, but it is after 1 AM here and I need sleep. You can feel free to do it if you have time, or I can deal with it sometime tomorrow. --After Midnight 05:08, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

It was my pleasure. (No kidding! Amusing to say the least.) — coelacan — 08:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Thanks for informing me. How can I make the articles on Kendall Gaveck and Daniella Morris better? They both are notable especially on IMDB which is an official movie database. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindsaybabay (talk • contribs) 15:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Reporting Vandalism

You said a user can't be blocked until their last warning. Who has the authority to give a last warning? CJ 10:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Response

Well, I won't be closing AfDs, as I find them terribly boring, but MfDs are more interesting. I'm sure I won't close any straight away (unless if it was unanimous, and therefore uncontroversial), but rather wait until I feel more comfortable with the process. Hope I answered clearly; please feel free to ask more questions. · AndonicO 10:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Microsoft IP Blocked

Hi Coelacan, Thanks for your concern. I didnt find a significant change (some "and" was changed). So, I guess you can remove the block upon our company's IP. I can try to follow it up if one of my friend wanted to play around with.

Balajiviswanathan 01:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I was pretty much surprized when one of my coworkers pointed out this to me and they were jokingly putting all the blame on me for this and so I messaged immediately. Since we have over 50000 users with this IP, we dont have much mechanisms for policing this ourself, unless there is also a way to get MAC address or something of the edit to get the actual person who did this.

Request for Help

Hi Coelacan - on the Al Franken page we have one editor and an IP (possibly the same person?) who continue to put in unsourced POV statements into the article, with a citation that doesn't support those statements. The User has been warned, and it's now just vandalism. Can you please put a block in? They have already violated the 3RR rule to put these statements in, and been warned several times. It is User:Hughey. --David Shankbone 15:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the response on Al Franken. I am not the submitter of the material in question. My part has been only to revert the removals by David Shankbone and another. The removal by them seems in violation of the vandalism policy. For clarity, I realize where I erred, here, in as much as too many reverts. Still, that does not excuse their behavior. Hughey 16:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Hughey, our behavior was correct. You had not checked the article in question. I was the original person who put the "Issues" section in there, using the article in question. I knew it didn't say what you kept inserting. Had you read the article, you would have seen this as well. I also directed you to the talk page of User:Croctotheface so that you could read the article yourself. I understand you're new, but there was nothing wrong with the behavior three editors who reverted the addition of this material; especially, you know, since we read the article in question. --David Shankbone 19:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Dick Cheney

Regarding your revert of the Dennis Kucinich claim. The cite did lead to Rep Kucinich’s home page but in itself the connection to Impeachment is non-existent. The House Resolution that he claims to have authored (HR 333) has nothing to do with Cheney or impeachment. I did a little research and HR 333 is relative to an amendment of Title 11 of the US Code. It was authored by Rep. George Gekas . Hughey 18:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I was actually refered to the 109th Congress HR 333. My mistake. You're right it was added confusion. Hughey 18:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Deputy Coord?

If you don't have enough to do on Misplaced Pages (that's a joke! :), why not sign up to be a deputy coordinator? I think you'd be great at it! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 19:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I've been trying to studiously avoid that. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I'm a mite too busy irl to pick up anything else on wiki. — coelacan — 19:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Thecheez@hotmail.com

Sorry to be a pain, but you blocked the above user for having an @ in the name, but the user created this account before it came into policy and WP:U specifically says that these are still allowed. Ryan Postlethwaite 20:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

No worries, thank you very much for bringing that to my attention, Ryan. It was reported on AIV, but I'll have to remember to check the account creation log next time. — coelacan — 20:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I know it was, I was removing it when you blocked it - I'll have to be quicker next time :-) (don't think I was trawling through your logs!) Ryan Postlethwaite 20:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Do you happen to know offhand when the policy was changed? WP:U just says "established" but that'll mean something rather different a year from now... — coelacan — 20:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Not to date, but I know when it was changed, the software was changed at the same time so usernames with @ couldn't actually be created. You could trawl through the history! (I would but I've got very limited internet connection). Ryan Postlethwaite 20:19, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well, then basically we just don't block these usernames. — coelacan — 20:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
