Can I get you to review your close of this, please? You've called it "no consensus" when there is a "no reliable sources" reasoning to delete and reliable sources with non-trivial mentions are not provided. - brenneman 00:45, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I stand by the non consensus. Feel free to take it to WP:DRV. Viridae 08:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

January Greetings

Happy January 15th, 2007 Viridae. Did you know i have created over 60 articles? You can see them by viewing the bottom of my talkpage. Merry... January! --Chikinpotato11 16:28, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

ip ban on 204.193.6.90

your ip ban on 204.193.6.90 is a ban on a school what happened that made you ban that ip? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stapuft (talk • contribs) 14:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC).

If you'd like to hear from him in the WP:AN/I thread...

...you should probably drop him a note on his talk page. As far as I can see – following an admittedly very cursory examination – nobody has followed up with The JPS during this discussion. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 12:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, hadn't checked. Viridae 12:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Block precedent?

Hi. I'm curious about this block? A six-month block for an IP with three edits ever? Is it an open proxy? —Wknight94 (talk) 13:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh never mind. I see now it's probably a open proxy. Sorry to bother you... —Wknight94 (talk) 13:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

No problems. Viridae 22:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

User 71.60.67.39

I was under the impression that physical threats were a reason for an immediate block, which is why I reported this user. TimVickers 00:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I think they were more a case of a school aged child being idiotic, the primary offence being vandalism. Viridae 00:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Can Admins edit the Edit summary? If this threat could be removed then I would be less concerned. TimVickers 00:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I cant edit it, but as it was an uncontructive edit I can delete the edit entirely. Doing that now. Viridae 00:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

The Bacteria article has now disappeared, is this normal? TimVickers 00:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I deleted it and am in the process of restoring the 2200 revisions. I have to do it in bacthes because I'm getting an RSI checking all the check boxes. Viridae 00:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thank you. Sorry to bug you but my heart stopped for a moment! :) TimVickers 00:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I see you have done a massive amount of work on the article, Barnstar coming your way when I finish with this! Viridae 00:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Thanks also for all that revision work. Ironically, after all that the moronic vandal didn't take the hint and re-inserted exactly the same threats. TimVickers 02:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Protection requested

I had long and way out of line-terrible argument with mkil who was vandalizing marciano and other pages, i also asked him not to talk to me or leave me any more messages, i do not want to talk to him, all messages are left on marciano dispute pages, tell him never to contact me again. Also Marciano page should be locked longer and mkil not allowed to be there. I have evidence he was logging on under some other ip 58.8 and had some of his friends join in on the "fun" He was warned not to revert many times in the past. http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Rocky_Marciano#Third_opinion Most of the info is here. Boxingwear

I will make my decision when the protection is removed - I may contact another admin to watch over it for me and reprotect when the protection runs out over the weekend when I am away. Protection is not meant to be permanent, it was placed in this case so editing diputes stopped being fought in the article space. If this behaviour continues, I may just hand out blocks to whoever I think is involved. Viridae 23:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Right, i agree, but you have to look at the broader picture, on talk, right now, people agree with me, i also requested protection from mkil above, did you read that... i mean, wow. On a different subject... http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Gwernol#Complaint This user deleted the lineal champions, we need to recreate it, reasons are given above and there are other people who agree with me, i can not believe why good articles are killed on wiki, bad remain...Boxingwear

If you'll look at the Marciano page, BoxingWear was told in no uncertain terms by another editor that my edits were not "vandalism." I requested a third party opinion that resulted in a strong chastisement of BoxingWear. He/She continues to assert that my edits are "vandalism" and that I log on under different IP addresses (which is false -- I welcome any attempts to trace IPs to see the truth of this). BoxingWear continues to attack me and refuses to recognize my good faith edits as legitimate. MKil 04:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)MKil

How to do things

What is the code to put things into archive, to merge or rename article or to put music or square on my talk page. Boxingwear Is there any way you administrators can find out if some other user has been using different ip, in order not to reveal who he is like mkil?Boxingwear

whaa? vandal?

Last spring I was looking at the group, The Residents, listing and found it full of mistakes and suppositions. I made extensive corrections which as manager and historian of the group seemed a rightful responsibility. Acutally I am the only authority for this subject as I also oversee www.residents.com. I am even named in the article as a participant in the group. I made all the changes under my real name as I was not playing games. I just discovered that back in June all my corrections reverted back to the errors and I was branded a "vandal" for removing other people's erronous speculations where it seems to me the person who revereted the material back to the errors is the vandal. I had a message from you from June that I am now resonding to claiming this. Maybe it was you who vandalized my corrections. I don't know since I am not a power user.

Anyway, I do not monitor The Residents page nor will I start doing so, but do wish that the term vandal was not generously handed out to us authorized individuals. Meanwhile, the Misplaced Pages page for The Residents remains flawed and by naming me a vandal I guess it will stay that way. I do not understand allowing the ignorant to freely speculate on Misplaced Pages while blocking the knowledgable from correcting data.

Hardy Fox <email removed> www.residents.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hfox (talk • contribs) 18:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC).

Huh? I never warned you for vandalism. 02:16, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Irwin

Could you help me please? I have received my first warning on Misplaced Pages (I think from you). Last October there was vigorous debate regarding a quote from Germaine Greer inserted on Irwin's page. After this debate it was edited out and it remained that way for a couple of months until one person inserted it again. Based on previous discussion I and others deleted repeated attempts to insert it again. We suggested that this person read the archives – it seemed to me this person had not read the discussion. The last suggestion to this person was to discuss it before reinserting it. There has been extensive discussion and (at the risk of only presenting my side) all but two people did not want it reinserted for many good reasons. I am confused as to why the person making an insertion in these circumstances gets protection whilst another who removes this with the consent of the discusscion page gets blocked. What should I do. It seems unconscionable to permit this insertion. Alan Davidson 12:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC) I have now noticed you warned both of us. That does seem fairer. Many thanks. Alan Davidson 12:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

You userpage is now fully protected because you have continually reinserted the content in violation of policy. Please note that a protection if preferable to a block, and it was one or the other because of the policy violation. I have chosen protection however to allow you to discuss it here and at WP:ANI (see the bottom of the page). ViridaeTalk 10:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't you ask me what's written in arabic before deleting the template? Do you really want to provoke me? Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you want to bring more racism to wikipedia? Embargo 10:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Just a heads up that I've taken this to WP:AN, to try and stop a revert war, I've asked the user to stop adding it, however, he keeps on doing it RyanPostlethwaite 11:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Let's take the opportunity to be nice.

Hello! If we want to make a neutral encyclopedia, we will need people from all over the world cooperatig with our efforts. Certainly, if Embargo adds non-neutral material to articles, that would be a problem. But maybe they're quite reasonable. Let's talk with them and see! --Kim Bruning 12:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Help over at CAT:CSD

Hi, and congrats on your promotion! Per this discussion, I'm dropping a friendly note to some of the recently-promoted admins requesting help with speedy deletions. I am not an administrator, so if you don't feel comfortable diving into deletions - or if you need more info - please don't come to me, but I'm sure that Cyde Weys would be happy to guide you if you want to help. Any help is great, but I'm sure that Cyde and others would deeply appreciate it if you could put the page on your watchlist and do a bit of work there on a regular basis? Maybe weekly? Thanks in advance! Oh and if you're already working away on CSD please disregard this message; it's not meant as a slight against any hard work you're already doing. Cheers!

Request for Arbitration regarding Trodel

Because you have been working so hard to try to resolve the dispute, I am requesting that you once again help in resolving the dispute. I am filing a request for Arbitration, as it has become clear that Trodel will not abide by any decision we try to come to in the RfC.

Drini deleted your comments from the Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard

AFAIK, this is disruptive behaviour.

I asked for all the comments (and my original text, rebutting Drini´s defamation against me) to be reposted again , and Drini deleted my petition and posted new defamatory (i.e., false) stuff against me .

I was receiving good ideas about what to do from other administrators until Drini came and started posting factually false nonsense about me (as Drini recognized ). Drini was called to enter the fray from the Spanish Misplaced Pages .

I think that this Drini´s behaviour is outrageous, and I ask you for help. What can I do?.

Randroide 11:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Not so bad. False alarm, maybe

Well, the situation is not so bad as I thought (albeit is neither a good one).

Drini pasted the whole discussion in a different linked page .

I missed that pasting. I thought the text was deleted.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nonetheless, any comment?.

Randroide 12:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Quick question

A user/SPA has requested a copy a deleted article (deleted per AFD as NN). I don't see anything in the article that is sensitive - but a quick scan of policy scan reveals no guidelines. Is dumping a copy into his userspace kosher? Kuru 13:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Just undelete then move it to a subpage of their userspace. Viridae 21:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind

I had already indef blocked that CaptJebus guy before you left your warning, so I replaced your warning with an {{indef}}. I didn't think a threat like that even deserved a warning, but feel free to revert me and remove the block if you feel it was inappropriate. Kafziel 21:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't aware notability was remotely relevant to G11 spam ... Chris cheese whine 09:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Well considering you tagged it without the use of s epcific template, I took the most obvious one - db-bio, which meant notability applied. As it WAS a bio and not selling a product specifically, that was the appropriate action. Viridae 12:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

3RR

I would agree, if it weren't for the fact it was a bread-and-butter merge (duplicate articles), and reverting the redirect was effectively a POV fork. User:Mais oui! also seems to have a history of edit warring, ironically using the summary "reverting edit warring by User:X". Chris cheese whine 12:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Not commenting on the other users behaviour yet, just your statement. I am looking into what is going on. It would be a damn site easier though if you two stopp removing stuff from the respective talk pages. Viridae 12:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Er, it's a duplicate article. There are no changes to discuss. User:Mais oui! is merely being stubborn. Chris cheese whine 12:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

In which case, it should be easy to get consensus from the wider community. However if you continue to edit war (this applies to both of you) you WILL be blocked. Step away and calm down. Viridae 12:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

blocking vandals

Hi, you removed an ip that I re-requested at the admin intervention page. Rather than reporting the same IP for the third time, and risking being regarded as a vandal myself, I just wanted to bring it to your attention that new vandal edits came from this ip. Making it 5 in just over 2 hours. Please deal with it in a way you see fit, I will stop monitoring this IP and get out of your way.

Thanks! Sander123 13:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
