Engjs back edit warring

Hi, sorry to trouble you, but Engjs/125.255.16.233 is back, and engaged in edit warring again on . He's (1) Inserted POV language, claiming that Brignell "demonstrated" fraud on the part of the UK government (2) When I tried to change this to "asserted", reverted me and accused me of vandalism (he's been warned on this point many times) (3) Sock-puppeteering using both his user name and IP address.

If you could respond, that would be great. JQ 05:48, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

User:John Reid

Please unprotect. Thanks for the thought. John Reid 16:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Re:170.211.237.1

I saw that we blocked them at the same time. I'll unblock to and block again as per your 1 hour. Cheers. No Guru 19:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Just quick note of thanks for having reverted vandalism to my user page earlier! _└/_talk 19:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Impersonators

Thanks for blocking User:Timothy Usherr. That wasn't a very good impersonation on his part.

Might you block User:T Usher as well? He has impersonated me on User talk:Sean Black. A few weeks back, I created Doppelgangers for the most obvious variations, but didn't think of this one...

Musical Linguist has already done it. Thanks again.Timothy Usher 22:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the quick revert on my userpage... I'm guessing that T3h p3n0r is one of many socks:

• Commodore Kevles (talk • contribs • Kevles page moves • block user • Kevles block log)
• Admiral Kevles (talk • contribs • Kevles page moves • block user • Kevles block log)
• Warlord Kevles (talk • contribs • Kevles page moves • block user • Kevles block log)
• Captain_Kevles(talk • contribs • p3n0r page moves • block user • p3n0r block log)

based on edits. The last of these, User:Captain_Kevles, was vandalizing the same pages moments before T3h p3n0r appeared (and is/was listed at WP:AIV). Anyhow, thanks for the quick action. --TeaDrinker 03:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of Zacarias Moussaoui

Sorry about the massive edit conflicts. This was a mess but thanks for taking care of it. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 04:07, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

errr

Sorry, but the history deletion processes looks completely fubar when two admins get conflicting edits. In retrospect my comments may have seemed sarcastic, but I wasn't trying to be. ---J.S (t|c) 07:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Deletions

Did you really check all of the good history versions for the 2004 voting irregularities talk page! That must have took forever. My next javascript is going to make that much easier.Voice-of-All 16:36, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

block

If you leave a note on the user talk page when you block a user, it may prevent reduplication of effort. This is in accord with Misplaced Pages:Blocking_policy#Instructions_to_admins. -lethe 21:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Deletion

Yes, normally that is what I would do, but because it is on the main page, I want to get the page back up as fast as possible. Prodego 03:25, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

The Wiki Pakistan Community

Hi Pepsidrinka,

Firstly, just like to say your doing a good job creating alot of awareness of Pakistan through all these articles, especially your work on the main Pakistan article.

I was wondering if you have seen the following page, its a place where alot of people work as a team to progress and work together on articles and images of Misplaced Pages.

The Pakistani community for sometime has been very dormant, as there were not many people here to write articles related to Pakistan. If you go the following "Project page" you will see a new community has been formed, where I think alot of us should asign tasks and work more as a community than individually. Here's the link;

Misplaced Pages:Notice board for Pakistan-related topics. Do take a look at all the other communities the way they are working to improve articles and promote their communities.

I think its about time we all do the same. As you may notice everthing is just been laid out, so now its our turn to fill the gaps. Do pass the word on to other Pakistanis and people working on Pakistani articles.

Many thanks, Fast track 06:59 08 May 2006 (UTC)

Cheese

You reverted that quickly because you saw it in the new edits bulletin. I made the text in the edit summary a link because I knew it would be red and would thus attract the eye. You like it? I do. But why did you revert it? It was not POV, it was NPOV—a proven, undisputed fact. By the way, do you like cheese? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.130.143.156 (talk • contribs) .

But British English is gay. It's a known fact. Saying that it is POV is like saying that Earth is a cube. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.130.143.156 (talk • contribs) .

You do know what a cube is, right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.130.143.156 (talk • contribs) .

A cube, or regular hexahedron, is a three-dimensional Platonic solid composed of six square faces, with three meeting at each vertex. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.130.143.156 (talk • contribs) .

Block of User:Sex packets

Hey -- you blocked this user for an inappropriate username. He has requested unblocking, and says he's willing to choose another username, but the block on this username is interfering with his ability to do this. I was hoping you'd be willing to temporarily unblock him so he can create a new account? Thanks. Mangojuice 17:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Idit Harel Caperton

Thanks for your help on the peer review from a month or so ago. If I can ever be of help to you on Misplaced Pages, just let me know. Cheers. youngamerican (talk) 14:29, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Protect this guy's talk page, too, would you?

Since you blocked La enciclopedia del Internet es comunismo from editing, why don't you also protect his talk page? It's getting really annoying seeing his stupid ranting cluttering up the recent changes. Thanks. Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 01:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

User:Meteorman

Please ban User:Meteorman for vandalism. Has been warned. Continues to vandalize. --Bayyoc 02:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Islam

Hi , I have included a new image in the talk page of the Islam template, please make your comments about it to be included in the template, thanks  «₪Mÿš†íc₪»  18:58, 13 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) 02:58, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Canada FAC

Hello, I was wondering if you could check the Canada article once again. I think your comments on Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Canada have been addressed. Thanks, -- Jeff3000 03:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of NFL Draft busts

Would you mind reverting your deletion of the above talk page? The actual article was crap, but the talk page had some good ideas about what should be included in any future article about the concept itself. If not, could you userfy it on my namespace somewhere? Cheers. youngamerican (talk) 19:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

An RFA thank you!

Thank you for supporting my recently successful nomination! I still have to ask, though: Sopeutral? I guess I'll have to look that up... Jude (talk) 11:04, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Iqbal

Hi Pepsidrinka - please check out Muhammad Iqbal whenever possible. I need your help in making this an FA. Rama's Arrow 12:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

United States article nomination

What do you mean "unnecessary detail" in the United States article? You have to be specific so there are clear goals of how to improve the article, otherwise the objection is unjustified.--Ryz05 _t 01:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

BOT - Regarding your recent protection of Krazy Kat:

You recently protected this page but did not put in a protection summary. If this is an actual (not deleted) article, article talk, or project page, make sure that it is listed on WP:PP. Please be sure to use protection summaries when you protect pages. Do not remove this notice until a day or so, otherwise it may get reposted. Thanks. VoABot 01:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

RfA/Gurch

Thanks – Gurch 16:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

You Blocked Me

why did u blockme did i offend you? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Travis0123456789 (talk • contribs) .

Thanks!

Dear Pepsidrinka, thanks so much for your support during my recent successful request for adminship. I really appreciate it. And Canada just loves Pepsi! Take care and let me know if I'm doing something I shouldn't as an admin -- Samir धर्म 06:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

thank you for breaking my template

The only way to get it to work was to {{}} to a subpage, otherwise it breaks the URL, now the whole thing is broken, could you restore and protect?--AOL user 03:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• I can't insert {{urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}}} directly into the template, because it breaks the url, and the PAGENAMEE version that you reverted to doesn't work at all--AOL user 03:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Oh well, I've tried something else instead--AOL user 03:53, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Repair

Thanks for the repair work on my user pages. Cheers, -Will Beback 10:00, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks!

--Pilot|guy 22:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Where you at?

Haven't seen your sig anywhere lately. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 03:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Mothers

I did indeed nominate Mothers against whatever for deletion. It had been nominated for deletion before, I am sure, under the same title. It seemed to me to be a nonsense article, but I do understand that it is not. I have apologised to the author.--Anthony.bradbury 21:33, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

2004 NFL Draft

I have this draft up as a featured list candidate and would like your input. I beleive I've made it pretty close to the other 2 drafts in terms of format and quality. --Wizardman 13:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support in my RfA!

Thanks for voting! Hello Pepsidrinka, and thanks for your support in my recent RfA. I'm pleased to announce that it passed with a final tally of (96/0/0). I was overwhelmed by all of the nice comments and votes of confidence from everyone. Thanks again, and see you around! OhNoitsJamie 16:41, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

R2RO

Thank you for your support. R2R0 just re-created the page R2RO again, so I would suggest blocking him now. Travelbird 11:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Just saw you did. Thanks ! Travelbird 11:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

India and Indian

Hi - I've had some detailed talks with user:Spasage on the sensitive issue of national identity between India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. We've come up with some ideas on how to resolve the problem, through a disambiguation page for both "India" and "Indian." Obviously its a big move, so please weigh in here.

List of dragonfly species recorded in Britain

Hi. I've added the table headings now, as you suggested. Does this article now have your support for Featured List status? Thanks. SP-KP 21:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

The result of my RfA

Thank you for taking the time to vote in Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/IanManka, which, despite your oppose vote, passed by a margin of 54/6/1.

Now, in your vote, you linked to the Misplaced Pages policy of WP:AGF. I was perplexed by this vote, as I found it mildly contradictory. If you were to assume good faith, one would think that you would disregard my IRC blunder, and voted to support me. Am I missing something here? I would greatly appreciate it if you would help me understand your vote, as I strive to improve from my downfalls.

You may be wondering by now why I am contacting almost a month after my RfA has closed. There are many reasons. First, I am hand-typing all of my responses to peoples' votes (save a few explanations which could be pasted in multiple responses) I thought this would be an easy task, but it proved to be diffucult and very time-consuming. Second, the FIFA World Cup coincided with the closure of my RfA, and distracted me enough to not respond to the people who voted in my RfA. Third, I also had some issues outside of Misplaced Pages that I needed to deal with. Last, I took my time so that those who opposed me could see what I have done with the admin tools since I got them. You can inspect my records for yourself: IanManka (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves)

Thank you for spending time voting for my RfA, and if you see me doing something I shouldn't with my newly acquired tools, please feel free to let me know. Ian Manka Talk to me! 09:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. With this message, I am only trying to improve my editing techniques, as your worst reviews are often your best ways to improve, if that makes any sense. I respect your choice not to reveal your decisions, motivations, etc. with regards to your vote. Not knowing how the bulk of RfAs go, I didn't know that some editors harassed users for opposing, though I saw the same sort of thing when Rory096 opposed, and I assume this is what you mean. So, no problem about the vote, but maybe, in future votes, leave a quick note along the lines of Oppose, for reasons I'd like to keep to myself. I would hope that Wikipedians would respect this request, but then again, I could be assuming too much.

Thanks for the heads-up on the semi-protection I offered to a user page. I forgot to add a reminder to unprotect after 72 hours to my to do list, though that is no excuse. Thanks again for all the time you've put into this matter, and have a great day. Ian Manka Talk to me! 06:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

RfA support thank-you note!

		Thanks for contributing to my successful RfA!
		To the people who have supported my request: I appreciate the show of confidence in me and I hope I live up to your expectations! To the people who opposed the request: I'm certainly not ignoring the constructive criticism and advice you've offered. I thank you as well! ♥! ~Kylu (u|t) 00:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Here, have a nice cold Coke on...what're you doing with that axe? AIEE! ~Kylu (u|t) 00:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Dragonfly list FL status

Hi. Can you let me know if you feel that all issues with List of dragonflies recorded in Britain have now been addressed? Thanks SP-KP 22:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from Yanksox

Hey, Pepsidrinka, thanks for supporting my RfA, with a tally of 104/4/7... 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 07:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

You've got a Thank you card!

Dear Pepsidrinka, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Despite I've never had the pleasure of talking to you until now, dear Pepsi, I really think the best gift that my RfA has given me is to meet people like you, as I see that you're a great editor and an awesome person. From this day on, I also consider you my friend, and I'd be happy and honored if you accept me as your own... even tho I'm too much in love with Coca Cola to share a Pepsi with you! ;) Please take good care, and ttyl! :) With a big hug, your friend,

The Original Barnstar A Barnstar awarded by Striver on 28 October 2006 to Pepsidrinka for for creating those very usefull hadith reference templates. Good work!
