3R on Texas redistrict

Hi Heah. I went back and labeled the reversions on 2003_Texas_redistricting. I can't quite figure out how to make that template work. In the subject article, the individual is simply reverting back to his old copy. They're not edits. He complicated (or obfuscated) the process by doing some of his reversions in two or three steps, e.g. taking out one sentence, saving, then taking out the second, etc. There are four clear reversions where he returned copy to exactly what he had before. Here's the direct link for you. Thanks. BehroozZ 16:16, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

GNAA

thanks for the sprotect on GNAA. It was definately tying some of the RC patrol editors up. Once again, thanks. ⇒ SWATJester Aim _Fire! 04:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

This is one page I'd almost consider worthy of permanent protection. After more than a month of this I'm getting burnt out of doing reversions on it, and it may end up being taken off my watchlist. --Kickstart70-T-C 04:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

67.172.194.15

Hi Heah, Thanks for your intervention with 67.172.194.15. This user has acted in fairly bad faith in the past and I doubt they will ever do more then lie and insult on the talk page. If they do settle down, great. If not, what can I do next? What this user was doing was subtle vandalism. Adding there own name to the admin list, removing other names... removing large chunks of sourced info. What can I do? Advice would be appreciated. ---J.Smith 15:02, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look at the situation. ---J.Smith 20:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

He's back at it again. I've reported on WP:PAIN for his most recent personal attack. Now he/she is simply making things up in the edit summary and trying to impersonate me on the talk page. (to what end I have no idea... the comments are not clear) ---J.Smith 07:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

71.48.105.212

Thank you for blocking this user. He was bad.

Are blocked users supposed to be using talk pages? — goethean ॐ 17:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

3RR and NPOV tag

Heah, I've posted a follow-up about 3RR and NPOV on my talk page. Would you mind taking a look? Thanks. 71.212.31.95 01:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. I've posted a brief reply and I may add some further comments, but you don't need to look at them or respond to them unless you want to. Sorry to have bothered you. 71.212.31.95 02:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Pls. del this talk page

There is a talk page with POV info only. Can you pls delete it? It's here. --Bruin rrss23 (talk)11:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Vandal you just blocked

I don't know if you saw the vandal's block log, but it has been repeatedly blocked and vandalism is the only thing coming from that IP. Its block log follows:

18:50, 21 April 2006 Heah blocked "206.235.249.52 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 24 hours (vandalism)

18:50, 21 April 2006 No Guru blocked "206.235.249.52 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 24 hours (repeated vandalism) 15:44, 20 April 2006 Can't sleep, clown will eat me blocked "206.235.249.52 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 31 hours (repeated vandalism to 44 BC) 15:43, 20 April 2006 RobertG blocked "206.235.249.52 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 24 hours (Continued vandalism after requests to stop) 20:23, 3 March 2006 BorgQueen blocked "206.235.249.52 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 24 hours (vandalism) 14:33, 2 February 2006 Pathoschild blocked "206.235.249.52 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 2 hours (vandalism) 15:20, 12 January 2006 Egil blocked "206.235.249.52 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 24 hours (Repeated vandalism, has been warned)

Given that, I think a slightly longer block might be in order. Thanks. JoshuaZ 18:54, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Pericles

Thank you for reverting this nonsense in the Pericles article. I worked to hard rewriting this the arivle to tolerate this stupid vandalisms--Yannismarou 20:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

heah

I appreciate the message, but I think you edited an old version of my talk page: You accidentally removed a comment from Stele, and added two vandalisms that I removed earlier. In the interest of saving time, I'm just going to revert your edit, and let you know here that I did see your message, and I was unaware there already is a process. Thanks. ⇒ SWATJester Aim _Fire! 23:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Belay that. I just fixed it myself. Your message is back on there. ⇒ SWATJester Aim _Fire! 23:44, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Unblocking 199.79.168.160

No qualms at all. That is really unfortunate you are sharing address space with a pathological vandal. Have you tried contacting someone at your school about this? If you provide them with the dates and times the vandalism occurs, they should be able to match this up with their proxy logs. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 23:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

cannabis strains linkspammer

No prob! I don't have many of those pages on my list anymore - I thought (hoped) he'd given up. I'll keep an eye on him though and let you know if I see him misbehaving --AbsolutDan 02:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I am the so called linksspammer. I do not understand why other sites can have their links on cannabis related pages and my site cannot. My site is NONPROFIT, has no ads, and contains content that was added to wikipedia's pages (many different cannabis strains). I don't understand why other sites with message boards and similar content to mine can have their links up but i cannot. If i put up too many links just let me know, but i have to be allowed to have a few links up, as i see many similar sites to mine with their links up with no problems. 209.51.82.222 16:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Heah - I talked with 209.51.82.222 a bit on this (here). He has taken my suggestion and constructively posted a comment on the talk pages of Cannabis (Talk) and List of cannabis strains (Talk) (under the username of Chq. What do you think? Is the site he's pushing for informative enough to be on at least one of those pages - like List of cannabis strains? Or are there too many "list sites" there already? --AbsolutDan 13:07, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Appropriate Username and Flashmorbid

Just FYI if you don't happen to check back at the AN: I deleted that subpage. If there's personal information, delete the page instead of just editing it out. Otherwise it's accessible through the history. Also, the links there were a good example of WP:BEANS. ~MDD4696 01:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

User:Lou franklin

Lou franklin's RfAR is near closing, and a remedy of banning him from Societal attitudes towards homosexuality and its talk page has been passed. Since that's where he committed all his 3RR violations, would you object to me lifting the one-month block you imposed when the RFAR is officially closed? --Sam Blanning 08:52, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

rfa

Thanks for the support on my RFA. Unfortunately, it did not achieve consensus. I look forward to your support in a couple months when I apply again. Holler at me if you need anything. ⇒ SWATJester Aim _Fire! 19:22, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Unreasonable blocking

Hi, I am sorry for bothering you, but can you please look here and comment on the matter? Thanks. FunkyFly 19:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Heah. About a month ago you blocked Ceraurus (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (aka Mark Bourrie and Isotelus) for using sock puppets for the second time to circumvent the 3RR rule at Rachel Marsden. One of the IPs that he used to do that was 70.25.91.205 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), as shown by checkuser: see here. Today this IP joined several others in multiple blankings of that same Rachel Marsden page. I've asked for semi-protection of the page, and reported this incident to the admin board, but as blocking admin, I thought you should know too. Cheers, Bucketsofg✐ 21:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The 70.25.91.205 IP is the National Library of Canada! Bucketsofg has a hate-on for both Marsden and Bourrie and has sucked you into his content fight. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.26.170.216 (talk • contribs) .

Obligatory notification

Cardamom

Hi,

Thanks for the info, the phrase is gone, Im not sure where it went.

Fred Starwindsurfer 20:14, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

Not sure who to take this to, but the Cardamom has some strange vandalisim that I cant seem to remove, its in the taxo card, and it dosent show up in the edit box. The grafiiti text reads "== ME AND BRITTANY ARE TIGHT LIKE A FAT KiD IN SPANDEX! ==" and apears nowhere in the text body of the edit window, I did search for it. I saw your name in the edit history and that you seem to have some history in helping protect the wiki. It would be nice to know how to fix this if it happenes in the future.

Fred

Jewsdidwtc, redux

It appears another administrator ignored your request on the page and undid the deletion you did on Jewsdidwtc, and whaddyaknow...the same day someone again spams the link onto the Gay Nigger Association of America page. Here's the diff: . Again, since the page is spam, and the issue itself non-notable, the redirect really needs to not exist, IMO. --Kickstart70-T-C 23:41, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

So? It's just vandalism. It makes no difference if the link they spam onto a page leads to a big grey box or a redirect back to the article—In fact I'd say that a redirect is more useful because the vandalism may have been reverted by the time you get back there, especially considering it's a fairly highly watched page. Also, you'll note that I already informed Heah of this at #Obligatory_notification, above. If you don't think it should exist, nominate it for deletion (and yes, I would argue in favour of keeping it).--Sean Black 03:43, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Any protected redirect is better than a {{deletedpage}}. If someone sees someone spamming "JEWSDIDWTC" into their IRC channel and looks to Misplaced Pages to figure out why, do you think "this page has been deleted and should not be created without a good reason" is going to help them? It's relevant and is a perfectly valid redirect. --Rory096 07:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

169.204.191.197 blatant vandal

Can you please block this IP for possibly one week? I don't know if this IP is blatantly vandalizing WP... --Bruin_rrss23 (talk) 08:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Articles too short that may be Speedily Deleted...

Heah, you might want to try out your deletion powers here. Follow some links on the template and you'll find articles too short and can be speedily deleted. Badly, Kuala Lumpur is in Malaysia and you're an American, so I doubt what you're going to do e.g. delete it or stub it as I don't know if you've been to Malaysia yet. I might decide to improve and stub some articles but if they're just too short and the hopes of improving it is very low... well, it's up to you. --Bruin_rrss23 (talk) 08:33, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Entheogens

Keep an eye on the Entheogens article. Its been hit by the anonymous "bible verse" vandal who periodically hits the psychedelic pages. I've reverted it, but unfortunately, a certain User:Meco with an overly-literal interpretation of "assume good faith" is reverting my reverts. I've re-reverted, but that may not stay in effect, and I'm trying to stay on the right side of the "three revert rule". Peter G Werner 13:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments in Lar's RfA!

We are here to build an encyclopedia!

Hi Heah, and I'd like to "gladly" thank you for your supportive comments in my request for adminship! With a final tally of (109/5/1), I have been entrusted with adminship. It's been several weeks since the conclusion of the process, so hopefully you've had a chance to see me in action. Please let me know what you think! Thanks again, and I will do everything I can to justify the trust you've placed in me! ++Lar: t/c 03:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Strauss

I'm curious: what do you not like about Strauss? I've only read some the lectures notes on the Symposium, so if you are willing and able, will you enlighten me? EmileNoldeSinclair 05:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, as I understand it Strauss was a rather cagey writer so it's a bit difficult to really interpret his stance...the article on Paul Wolfowitz states that he only took three classes with Strauss and that he claims to be more a student of Albert Wohlstetter. Prof. Rosen, a former student and friend of Strauss, claims that the neo-cons have misinterpreted Strauss completely. (There are several interviews floating around on the internet in which he makes this claim). So, I think that it is at least possible that Strauss need not be blamed for neo-conservatism.

Heya, how good is your spanish? On the hyperreality article on the Spanish wikipedia they inserted MMOPRGS as an example but we have already been through this on the english language and it doesn't belong as an example. Anyway I took it out on the spanish wikipedia and they reverted my edit because I think they thought i was vandalising. Is it possible I could get you to apologise on my belhaf and explain the justification from teh talk page as to why it does not beling.... thx. - Abscissa 20:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion during AfD

Hi, you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from Big Hairy Monster, because it was currently on AfD. You are aware that articles get speedily deleted on AfD all the time, right? If the article clearly meets the speedy deletion criteria, why should it not be speedily deleted? (Considering that the entire point of adding A7 to the speedy deletion criteria was to speed up the deletion process in certain obvious cases in the first place, is that not a little counter-productive?) As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong (or against policy) with tagging articles for speedy deletion during the AfD process. Happens on a regular basis. -- Captain Disdain 21:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, just to let you know that it is perfectly okay for articles to be speedily deleted while they are on AFD, if they qualify. In that case the AFD should be closed with the result speedy delete. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 14:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Hah. first time in months i've done anything with speedies, and two of the six i deal with get this response. i do understand that articles at afd get speedied all the time; i figured if the quick consensus on afd was to speedy that should go ahead and be done, but when it's at afd, the decision to delete or not (speedy or otherwise) might as well be made there . . . but hey, no problem, if people want the tags to stay up and the article to be speedied i'll do that in the future. thanks for the feedback.  ;) --heah 22:19, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Trunk Space, Modified Arts, and Paper Heart Gallery

Hello. I was hoping for your opinion on the articles I created for these venues, seeing as I used Che Cafe, The Smell, 924 Gilman Street, and The Casbah as models for them. Please respond on my talk page, or, any corresponding AfDs. Thanks! PT 00:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from Yanksox!

Hey, Heah, thanks for supporting my RfA, which registered a tally of 104/4/7. Which means... I am now an admin!!! I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Misplaced Pages with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Yanksox 04:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Help me fight a Bambu employee Lost Society / 24.215.229.224

He keeps reverting your and my changes to the Roling papers articles to try and put his brand up top and hide the newspaper articles about them being convicted. He reverts both Bambu and Rolling Papers constantly. He deletes the A brands so that Bambu (B) will show up first alphabetically and lots of other cheesy scams.

Please block him somehow :( --Mrtobacco 14:42, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Bambu & Mrtobacco's false claims against my former employee

The acusations made my mr.tobacco in reference to the 20menutos article completely do not pertain to Bambu's rolling papers, rather they have to do with Miguel y Costas's brand Smoking. I think that Misplaced Pages staff should be obligated to do further research before any of these bogus claims tarnish a name brand which has existed for over 200 years. It is quite obvious that Mr Tobacco works for a bambu competitor brand such as HBI. I seeing past post, his focus lys on tarnishing Bambu while praising brands such as Raw, Juicy Jay, Abadie etc. What is his problem against Bambu mind you? Please rectify this for the sanctity of the Misplaced Pages community.

He's still modifying the page to make himself #1 :(

The user Lost Society used just another IP address to go in and modify it back to the way he wanted it :( As you can see from his posts and the notes he put in his explanation, it's the same guy. This time he used a different IP because you blocked his other IP. The info is all right there in the article, complete with references etc...

This time he used the name 207.237.30.253

Please fully protect it from him :( Put the article the way we had it and then protect it please. He also went in and modified the Rolling Papers article to make Bambu pull up as #1 again :(
