Since I have had a lot of trouble in the past I'm just trying to stay out of it, I'm just contributing to wikipedia but Randalph P. Wiliams is trying to get me in trouble I see. Good job you blocked him but would you care to delete the page Category:Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of Kermanshahi as I have no sockpuppets and the page being there brings me a bad name.

Writing help

Chris, do you know of a list editors who volounteer to help with the writing of articles? I have several sandboxes of articles I've created recently with text-dumps from several sources that need to be rewritten, but, for me, that is the most tedious part of creating an article. I now have 13 new articles that need text added, with several more to come. I keep finding new articles to create, and with watching my watchlist, I hardly have the energy to do the rewriting. Is there a place on Misplaced Pages to ask for this kind of help? Thanks. - BillCJ 01:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

off the top of my head I do not. I would but i am getting reayd to leave for a well needed week long vacation. I will take a look at it tomorrow my last day in town and see what I can do. Thanks for the heads up. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 01:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into it with the time you have. Enjoy your vacation! - BillCJ 02:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Freemasonry edits

The ISP editor is clearly Lightbringer... he tips his hat with both his edit to delete the Holocaust section and his comment on the talk page. Please report him. Blueboar 14:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I thought it my be a honest a goodness editor until I i saw the block removal of the holocaust section. I have the ip temporarily as a sock of lightbringer. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

State terrorism by the United States talk page

Hi, you didn't move the talk page back. Talk:State terrorism by the United States still redirects to Talk:State-sponsored terrorism by the United States. Cheers, Silly rabbit 19:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

You might want to take a look at the WP:AN3RR board. 2nd from the bottom, regarding the edit warring going on at State terrorism by the US. I re-organized the diff's and there is clearly a 4RR + 1 anon IP violation. Peace.Lsi john 22:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I am not at a location where I have time to research the issue. I will have time tomorrow but I am sure by then it will be to late. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 22:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

If I see another one, I'll probably reset the block, or lengthen it.. it's annoying! :D SirFozzie 20:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Doubt

I was watching 'recent changes' and a move intrigued me. Why do you think Del toro is an innapropriate username?? Films addicted 20:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)Films Addicted

It is a somewhat local thing. Read the page he edited, the one on the tommy and rumble show, it is in relation to a local radio show and a former host who died recently. The said host was at odds with a current host involving law suits. It is in regards to a recent on air stunt the show pulled mocking the chris benoit case. I will explain in more detail tomorrow if you so desire. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 21:52, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, as I see it, the ban regards to innapropriate comments and editions by El toro not about an innapropiate username itself. I was affraid Benicio del toro couldn't be allowed to edit here :-) Films addicted

It was purly in the context of the article he edited. I understand your concerns. I would not just block any name that met that pattern. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 00:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Tommy & Rumble protection

Hi. Perhaps only semi-protection is required for the page since most of those edits are coming from anonymous/new users. And are they still talking about it on air? - Akamad 07:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Minneapolis

		The Original Barnstar
		To Chrislk02, on the occasion of Minneapolis, Minnesota reaching featured article. Best wishes! -Susanlesch 20:58, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

?I dont believe I have participated in the enhancement of that article? -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 21:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, ChrisIk02. I do recall asking you a couple months back if you had any objections to its nomination (which is more than many of the other editors had to contend with by the way). If you know of any editors (even one rational edit counts) please give them a barnstar too if you think it's worth something (I tried and failed to give one to every editor). So not to worry, some people like them, some don't. Hope that explains. -Susanlesch 21:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Request

Hi. You blocked me a couple of days ago for my username. I appealed and the name has been okayed by the username comments page. I would like the block information removed from my page but I don't know if I'm allowed to do that myself. Thanks. GrotesqueOldParty 01:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Spirit of St. Louis

Chris, there is a newbie editor that has insisted that the flight of the Spirit of St. Louis was the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic and has constantly reverted the article to eliminate the word "solo". He has not responded to the discussion page or to the note left on his "talk" page. These are his only contributions to Wiki articles and he continues to make spurious claims, see: He will not stop the reverting although he has been politely informed that constant reversions without explanation on the discussion page is not considered appropriate. Asking for help here. Thanks Bzuk 13:34, 12 July 2007 (UTC).

Sock puppet family...

With the help of Sikh historian, I have discoverd a family of sock puppets. I don't know if it's a shared IP, but they are all making the same edit over and over again. Here are the IPs.

• 69.249.119.18
• 69.241.250.155
• 70.2.247.160
• 70.2.251.18
• 70.2.251.18

Could you please look into this?

Thanks in advance...

JONJONBT talk•homemade userboxes 18:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

That does not generally qualify as a sock puppet. What article are you referring to? The only real option here is protection as the IP range cannoty be effectivley blocked. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

The article is Sikh. Sorry I didn't say the article! JONJONBT talk•homemade userboxes 20:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Album covers

Re ; Ok then, get out your axe and head on over to Slayer#Controversy :) I removed four album covers from this article, and another editor re-added Image:Slayer - Christ Illusion.jpg. Your call :) --Durin 15:07, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

That one is quesitonable. I will agree that it is used for critical commentary which is an important part of FUC. Even thouygh not in the article on the CD itself, it is one of the true examples I have seen of a cd cover being truly used for critical commentary instead of for decorative purposes only. I think fighting over that would be fairly pointless personally and time better spent removing fu images from discographies etc. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:11, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

• I was curious to see your call on this. I tend to agree with you on this one. --Durin 15:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

You can edit the blacklist at User:DeadBot/UAABadwords. Feel free to refine it how you want. I am working on flags and whitelists etc. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 20:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

It is not my responsibility to fix your bot. I do not understand how it works nor have the time to do so. If it were up to me, i would get rid of a username black list. Please expedite your whitelist fix and flags. Thank you. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I cannot do it right now, i'm in college and as such do not have access to my source. I will leave the bot for now, but work on this as soon as I get home. Once pruned, the list should be fine. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 21:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Since many people are invlovled, and its a pain to keep going through pages, I will now be responding on my talk page only. Please watchlist it if you want to stay in the discussion. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 21:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Wrestlinglover420

Hey man it seems like Wrestlinglover420 has created yet another sock, this time by the name of BlueShrek, please read the following conversations on Yamla's talk page and this one on Sesshomaru's talk page for the arguments in favor of this, thanks for your time. -凶 03:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
