Happy New year!
Happy New year!! --FadedSoul (talk) 18:56, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
The Chronic has given you a bottle of Cristal! Cristal costs $350, and hopefully this bottle has made your New Year's Day better. Spread the spirit of the New Year by giving a bottle of Cristal to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Give a bottle of Cristal to someone else by adding {{subst:User:The Hybrid/Finger}} to their talk page with a friendly... wait...

I apologise, I failed to explain properly, User talk:Mcspoosh is a sockpuppet of a previously banned editor. Sorry for the inconvenience. Sacharin (talk) 20:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Has this been confirmed by a CU? Lara❤Love 20:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- This was a vandal who created several accounts to vandalize the same page. The first account was blocked (not a banned user, different things). Since the page is now protected and the vandal is inactive there is no reason to block the other accounts. shoeofdeath (talk) 21:00, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Any particular reason this needs to be protected? I need to talk with him. Guy (Help!) 00:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Whenever. I'm heading to sleep, but I'll be back around full time. Whenever is good for you. Gimme until tomorrow to respond if you start it tonight, but I am definately in... --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

This is good. the_undertow talk 06:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Dude... that so does not look teh good. But you know what, I trust you. I'd have to pick some shit off, though. Haha. Lara❤Love 13:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Ur gonna be so teh mad, but I only captured my way to the target location. Something happened with my surveillance equipment and my objective was blown. However, the mission was a success! You are lucky-best wiki-friend ever! the_undertow talk 06:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- WTF?! Masterchip theater results in a car ride to your mailbox? Nice Superman pajama pants, tho. I have a ridiculous collection of pajama pants. I thought I was getting too old for them, but I've just reevaluated my position on the matter. Anyway, do0d, I'm so glad you like it... great band. A couple years ago and I probably would have sent you Maroon 5, which I'm sure that would have resulted in a less impressive smile. So yea, good times. Your camera's work ethic last night was teh suck. Bad times. BFF, Lara❤Love 13:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Adopting users?
Hello, I noticed you over at GlassCobra's talk and it seems s/he's not around at the moment. I had an offline conversation with a blocked user in which he agreed he had made mistakes and wanted to be able to edit under the rules. He is evidently an expert in his field, but his field is controversial. I'd like to be able to tell him someone is looking into giving him some guidance which will allow him to contribute to Wikipedia. If you are willing to adopt this user perhaps he can be unblocked for mentorship. —Whig (talk) 09:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Who is the user? Lara❤Love 13:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. User:Danaullman. I'm not sure if I'm the best person for the job, but if him getting unblocked is contingent on being adopted, then I'll do what I can. Lara❤Love 15:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Specifically he does not want a mentor who is involved in his field either as an advocate or opponent. There are people on Wikipedia who do not want anything but a particular POV to be represented and seek to condition his unblocking on being disallowed from editing in any article or talk space where his expertise is relevant. He objects to this constraint but accepts temporary limits will be placed on him while he learns how not to make mistakes that break policies or guidelines of Wikipedia. I hope that someone will be able to help him become a constructive editor. —Whig (talk) 17:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- If you're willing I've e-mailed him to let him know about our conversation here. Is there anything that I should do further to ask for help from another admin or seek a different mentor? —Whig (talk) 17:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'll do it. It should be a positive experience. If I need assistance from another editor/admin, I've got a Rolodex-worth of resources. I didn't even know what homeopathy was until I just read over the article, so I have no opinion one way or the other. Nor do I have an interest in picking a side.

- O yeah. I can see this going really well. the_undertow talk 19:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Betamax should have done better than it did. That was an unfortunate sitch. Lara❤Love 19:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Page views
Just noticed: "#3 on the list of 100 most viewed user pages (January 2008)... how funny is that?" actually WikiCharts haven't been updated in a long time, so that data is correct, but not relative to this month. Snowolf How can I help? 20:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- So what are you saying? I have the #3 page, just not for January, but rather, since like October or something? Lara❤Love 20:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Happy New Year, LaraLova
Notability and adoption
Thanks for your response. I have a lot of questions. How do I undelete a profile?I dont agree with the notabilty statement because I people I was making profiles for are semi-famous. They are on TV so I would think that would make them lagit. do you wannna adopt me?
- Please read over the notability policy (WP:N). Being a TV personality does not in itself assert notability. I'm not accepting new adoptees at the moment because of limited free time. However, there are many editors accepting new adoptees listed at the link I provided. Lara❤Love 18:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Um.
That was really a lot of bullshit that you left on my talk page. Now I have to fucking archive. I don't know which file could have been corrupt. Your MP3 player must have corrupted it. Shit! Can it be grad school teim now plz so I can live in teh dorms?!
Did you really just say 3rd Eye? Yeah...um...good times. Although 4 degrees is really teh song that makes me think about you. It's about a boyfriend who is trying to convince his girlfriend that anal sex is a way to bring them closer than 'dying, and cancer, and crying.' Note the 'cavern of treasures,' 'lets go digging' and the fact that the anus is four degrees warmer than the female genitalia. Die Eien Von Satan is a recipe for brownies, just FYI. Anyway, have fun at work. I'll have a beer or 10 for you tonite. I am teh jealous about the ham. You know the shit I can do with a ham is really quite amazing and illegal in 52 states! (that makes teh nonsense). the_undertow talk 20:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- WTF? Glad to know why 4 Degrees makes you think of me. That's so random... and nasty. XD Just drink your beers tonight and paste the drunk dial message over this section. Haha. Fun at work... this is teh possible? Lara❤Love 20:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Anything is possible through trust and compromise. O, you mean work? No, that's way less likely to happen. the_undertow talk 20:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Arbcom 141
I think I finally figured out all of the formatting to get the Arbcom submittal ready. I just looked at some of the "verifiable, well sourced" but incorrect material 141 put in the Steve Allen and Ed Sullivan Show articles. It's very sad, but I don't even want to get into it in those articles. And I am ready to do this. I will file on Monday, so I will have to time to notify everyone. Thanks for the input. I'll post a link to the Arbcom case on Monday, too. Steve Pastor (talk) 20:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
The Arbcom case has been filed. [1] I think the next move is up to 141. What a pain this is! Steve Pastor (talk) 16:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Heads Up
As no one bothered to let you know (as far as I can see anyhow - ) Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:LaraLove/Bathrobe Cabal - just to let you know! Pedro : Chat 01:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you protect User talk:Milomolaria? She does like to keep making threats and taunt people until her Talk pages get protected. Corvus cornixtalk 05:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Adopt me?
Does that title come across as pleading? Hope so, because I've got my puppy dog eyes in.
I've recently started being a bit more active on Wikipedia having used it for many years. I'm definitely in the WikiGnome category. I've spent some time patrolling new articles and recent changes (manually) and had a go at Wikifying a few articles but I do rather feel that I need a bit of stretching and exposure to other aspects of Wikipedia so I can make sure I'm actually directing my energies where they are best suited and have the best effect. Gaffertape (talk) 17:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for adopting me. My interests - well, in terms of things to do on Wikipedia, I'm definitely of gnome stock so I won't be planning on writing huge numbers of articles. However, I am aware that I know very little about the place, so want to at least try most things so I can get a flavour of it all. I definitely need to improve my policy knowledge.
- When it comes to subject interests they are wide, but not that deep. In that I am quite into a number of topics, but there aren't many I have a really in depth knowledge about. If pushed I'd probably go for something UK geography and history as some of the things I am most interested in, perhaps with anything geeky as a secondary topic. Gaffertape (talk) 22:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- The other thing I should have mentioned is that I had a name change request pending. Gaffertape is no more... I am now BlinkingBlimey (talk) 10:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because of the holidays and all the off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, and have a great new year, --Elonka 18:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi
Damn you're good looking. Brains and beauty. I envy a very lucky guy.
Congrats on your cabal victory. May the Bathrobe Cabal live forever!
By the way, is your lesson on good article development complete? If not, it would be a shame to let it just sit there unfinished.
I look forward to your reply, so we can figure out what to do about it.
The Transhumanist 22:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. :) And thanks for your support on the BRC MfD.
- I had meant to finish that lesson and I forgot. It's close to being done. I'll finish it this week. Lara❤Love 03:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Cool. I'll start looking for proofreaders. The Transhumanist 07:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Small request
Given your flair for signature changes, I'm wondering if you might tell me which of these three you prefer? I'm being indecisive as usual... Thanks, VanTucky talk 07:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC) P.S. How the hell are you?
- I would like #2 if 'Tucky' was green. But NOBODY asked me, haha. the_undertow talk 07:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I am stealing some things from Chips userpage. Thanks for making it all for me. :) Trevor "Tinkleheimer" Haworth 17:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
NVM, I can't figure out how to steal it. I've gotten by without it for awhile, so I don't need it. :) Trevor "Tinkleheimer" Haworth 17:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Nah, I'll be fine without having your afd closing hnds on my userpage. Trevor "Tinkleheimer" Haworth 17:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Chip, your sig code was jacked; not only not working but fucking my page code up. I fixed it... nice color? Lara❤Love 17:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

a way to get nickname back after a block ?
I use DzzD as my nick name since more than 10 years on severals website, anyway to unblock this nick or do I am really forced to use another one, if so please tell me why ?
DzzD 18:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- The name is blocked. There's no getting it back. Had you not used it to promote a site of the same name, it wouldn't have been blocked. Lara❤Love 18:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- seems that doing such wiki call me a sock pupper or something like that DzzDDzzD 20:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I might have stuck my foot somewhere where I shouldn't have. User:DzzDDzzD has been created to make the same COI, SPAM article that he got banned for as User:DzzD. I tagged his userpage with a WP:SOCK and db-banned the article he made. I have a feeling I may have gone about this the wrong way. What do you say? --Pmedema (talk) 21:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- If he's doing the same things he's already been warned not to do, I'd say you handled it fine. Lara❤Love 22:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- OK... I'll follow up with you...--Pmedema (talk) 03:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Now we have User:Matthijs b making 3DzzD... should it go up for AfD?...gonna prod it in the mean time and see what happens.--Pmedema (talk) 03:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Ehud Lesar
Contribution evidence was posted by another user at User:Fedayee/LesarBaguirov Evidence. I was considering a block since it's quite apparent Ehud = AdilBaguirov from the evidence, but I waited to see what Khoikhoi would do. Khoikhoi is probably the admin who can make the best judgment here, since he has been involved with these users (see AA and AA 2) for the last two years and knows their ways. Khoikhoi has also blocked the last few Adil socks based on contribution evidence.
CheckUser did not confirm Ehud = Adil, but from his previous socks, it's apparent that CU will be of no help here. Adil is an Azeri lobbyist, and he is constantly traveling around the globe (his IPs in the past have been traced to six states including California and Texas and cities in other countries such as Baku and Moscow). I'm sure if you contact Khoikhoi now, he will give you a sufficient rationale for the block. Best, Nishkid64 (talk) 19:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- It appears Khoikhoi may not be on Wikipedia for days/weeks, so you may not get a reply if you ask him about the block now. In that case, I ask you to reconsider the unblock, based on the evidence link I posted above. Nishkid64 (talk) 19:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Do you mind if I re-block the account? Nishkid64 (talk) 02:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Do what you will, but I'm not endorsing the blocking of a user based on assumptions. I see no evidence that he's a sock. Didn't Durova just take some heavy shit for something like this? Lara❤Love 02:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- It was a slightly different situation, but yes, Durova did take the heat for a block based on evidence she collected. Also, this block is not based on assumption, but evidence. It may be a bit circumstantial, but I feel it is good enough to show that Ehud is a sockpuppet of Adil. Besides me, there are two other admins who have reviewed the evidence and feel the same about this user. Nishkid64 (talk) 02:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

- Do you mind if I re-block the account? Nishkid64 (talk) 02:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I have reviewed the block and it appears to be correct, Ehud Lesar is almost certainly a meatpuppet or sockpuppet of Adil Bagirov. The user should be kept blocked Alex Bakharev (talk) 03:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for interfering, but why don't you ask for official investigation of this? This is certainly going to reach arbcom, so I suggest we get someone officially investigate the allegations of Ehud being a sock of Adil. There's not a single piece of evidence to support such a claim, checkuser also does not support this, and blocking people based on assumptions is certainly no good. So my suggestion is to get this properly investigated. Please remember that people are innocent until proven guilty. Thanks. Grandmaster (talk) 05:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

My computer went down hard - another HP down the drain. I've had it what, 3 months? Fuck. Anyway, I'm taking it in, so I don't know what to tell ya. Arg!

So long. chip talk 23:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Dude, calm down!! XD I did not call you a bitch. I said your sig is a bitch. It fucks with my page code like the dumb bitch that comes to a party and starts messing with the knick knacks. If you will notice, after your sig above, the text color changes from black to indigo. Then, after another instance of your sig, the font changes from verdana to dreaded arial. Bad. Times. That's all I'm saying. Mad love, don't leave me. <3 Lara❤Love 01:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Peer review?
I notice you're still not doing GAC at the moment. Are you not doing PR too? Because I was after a favour, but only if you're active (if not, you should take your name off the volunteers list). I was hoping for I Don't Remember to be peer reviewed so we can get it up to FA. Let me know (or, feel free to dive right in, if you want). --rm 'w avu 08:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

... appears to be some straggly noinclude thingies in there for some reason. (or no reason?) Compare with Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Liruxoyo which doesn't have them.
