Re: thanks
No problem. The way I look at it, if you're getting vandalized, that's really them telling you how good a job you are doing. So keep it up! J.delanoygabsadds 21:16, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Re: Question
Yes, you were definitely correct to use Huggle. For a long time, articles about the Balkans have been under attack, so much so that an arbcom case allowed uninvolved administrators to do basically whatever it takes to preserve sanity. There's even a couple of custom warning templates for situations involving the Balkans: {{uw-balkans}} and {{uw-balkans2}}. As for the article in question, I have semi-protected it for 2 weeks, so you shouldn't have to worry about. As to his threats, no he cannot sue you or Wikipedia. The Wikimedia Foundation, who owns Wikipedia, has a right to do anything they want (short of breaking laws regarding libel, child pornography, etc.) with their websites, and they have allowed users to collectively determine most of the rules here. This, people cannot legally sue Wikimedia regarding issues that are not illegal, and it is most certainly legal to consider Kosovo separate from Serbia in our website's text - the First Amendment allows any business, organization, or person to say practically anything about anything.

Hello?
Yeah, I got this weirdo orange button on my page, so i clicked on it, and I saw all these edits that were "made by me" at this I.P. address along with a bunch of angry wikiadmin chastising me for making edits I have no memory of making. I didn't know wikipedia existed until 2007. what is this??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.54.22.188 (talk) 02:51, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- If yours is a shared IP address, then someone else using this IP may have made the vandalism edit and you don't have to worry about it. All the same, I recommend creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Vishnava talk 02:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
HI!
SORRY ABOUT THAT EDIT, BUT I COULDN'T FIND HIS TALK PAGE, I DID TRY TO EDIT IT AGAIN TO REFLECT THIS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edwahunn0800 (talk • contribs) 18:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Misunderstanding
Don't worry about it. It can happen to anyone, and I hear that Huggle thing is pretty fast! I realized what had happened when I checked the logs and saw you reverting, so I wasn't going to say anything anyway :P
Actually, I should say something and commend you for all the vandalism you've been reverting :) Keep it up!
--QuadrivialMind (talk) 06:11, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry
Me and my friend were just talking on each other's pages. Is that unacceptable?
- Hi - the problem is that messages like this pretty much construe harassment. The other guy has done similar stuff. You guys are attacking each other and we can't assume you are playing with each other. I would advise that you do so off Wikipedia, as this is not the place for such things.
OK. Sorry about that. Pheonex (talk) 20:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- No problem then. Vishnava talk 20:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
RE:
This is a shared IP address. Not taking that into account and including the appropriate component in your templates makes it seem to some people as if they are being targeted for edits they did not in fact make. For example, I am on this end of this IP address and I did not do what you accuse has been done. Thanks and don't go too overboard with your reverting and warning. 96.5.66.240 (talk) 20:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi - if you didn't make the edit, then you have nothing to worry about in the first place - any positive edit you make will not be reverted. But as you say, this is a shared IP so its not necessary that the warning was meant for you but its necessary to warn the perpetrator. Vishnava talk 20:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine I'm not saying you shouldn't warn the person who did. I'm just saying as a friendly reminder from someone who has been a registered editor that you should remember to put the shared IP clause at the bottom of your warnings like the one just above the one you just made. 96.5.66.240 (talk) 21:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC))
RFA
Shame you withdrew it - the concerns were all minor and it's still early. -- how do you turn this on 23:56, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Good job in withdrawing. You'll be ready in a few months I'm sure, and knowing when you need more experience is always a good characteristic to have, I'll keep that in mind on your next one! --Banime (talk) 00:04, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, a shame to see you withdraw. (I was the one who archived it) Hope to see you there soon. All the best.--LAAFansign review 00:15, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm shocked - and somewhat disappointed - that you withdrew. With all due respect, would you care to offer a reason as to why for those of us that believe that it would have succeeded? --Winger84 (talk) 01:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey
How're you doing?
I'm sorry to see your RfA go down like that. I personally thought you'd make a great administrator - the opposes didn't convince me in the least (see support #23), and a slight lack of references on a DYK is something that is common even among the most seasoned DYK artists. I think the request would have passed had you gave it more time, since the consensus leaned towards trust for you. But either way, I just came to tell you that you're a great vandal fighter and article creator who's work is tremendously appreciated - keep up the good work! :D Valtoras (talk) 01:28, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
