Welcome message

Well, thanks for the thought, but you're a little (a year) late. :p Bl a st 21.03.07 1244 (UTC)

Sock?

Care to explain how 210.213.104.74 (talk · contribs) is a sock of anyone based on his one edit to Sound Connections? Metros232 03:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

please look here. it is an abusive sockpuppet of Jigs41793 zero » 03:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All you've proven with that link is that the IP address is from the Phillippines. Many people live there. I hardly think that the edit of that IP proves that it is Jigs41793 AND that it is abusive. Metros232 03:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not using that IP address. Take a look its contributions. Jigs41793 ^Talk/_contribs 12:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your nomination

I'm a guy of few words. Thanks for the nom. Philip Gronowski ^Contribs 00:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-== reverting vandalism ==
-Whether I warn vandals often depends on the exact kind of vandalism. The more childish the edit (writing a fun paragraph -> blanking -> poop), the more likely I decide that it's probably not worth the while to warn them, as it seems to me like a form of [[Wikipedia:Troll#Not_feeding_the_trolls|feeding the trolls]]. But I admit that sometimes I'm just too lazy to do it. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. —[[user:Kncyu38|KNcyu38]] ([[user talk:Kncyu38|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kncyu38|contribs]]) 02:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
-:Just wanted to add that now that I have finally discovered WP:TW, my warning percentage may increase significantly. I basically never left warnings from VP, instead changed to firefox for that. Tedious, but no more. Regards, —[[user:Kncyu38|KNcyu38]] ([[user talk:Kncyu38|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kncyu38|contribs]]) 01:53, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
-== Moving ==
-I still don't get what you want me to do. I have moved all those pages for you, and they retain the old history. [[user:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">=Nichalp</font>]] [[User Talk:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">«Talk»=</font>]] 13:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
-== Re: Comment from [[User:Z.E.R.O.|User:Z.E.R.O.]] ==
-Your vandal fighting skills have surpassed by users [[User:Curps|Curps]] and [[User:Omicronpersei8|Omicronpersei8]]. I consider nominating you for admin in a few months. <span style="font-family: Verdana">[[User:Z.E.R.O.|<span style="color: dodgerblue">ze'''ro'''</span>]] [[User talk:Z.E.R.O.|<span style="color: midnightblue">»</span>]]</span> 00:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
-: You are the [[User talk:Qxz#Adminship?|second person to say that]] in four hours. Please, at least take the trouble to read the rest of my talk page before saying such a thing – if not the archives, where there are several such requests. Each one of them is going to get the same answer: No, I do not want to be an administrator. Comparing me to two users who left months ago also demonstrates little and if anything is insulting to them. Thanks – [[User talk:Qxz|Qxz]] 19:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
-== Warning?! ==
-=== March 2007 ===
-Hello, <nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</nowiki>!  Thank you for reverting [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] to Wikipedia{{{{{subst|}}}#if:{{{1|}}}|, which you did in [[:{{{1}}}]]}}.  After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace|template]] or custom message.  This will serve to direct new users towards the [[Wikipedia:sandbox|sandbox]], educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. {{{2|Thanks!}}} <!-- Template:Uw-warn --> <span style="font-family: Verdana">[[User:Z.E.R.O.|<span style="color: dodgerblue">ze'''ro'''</span>]] [[User talk:Z.E.R.O.|<span style="color: midnightblue">»</span>]]</span> 03:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
-:I know <tt>:)</tt> - as you may be aware, one somtimes doesn't have the time to apply the appropriate warning, especially when (as is often the case for me) you spot a bit of vandlaism on your watchlist just before you go out!  Can I ask exactly which edit you were referring to?  I have, as you may know, knowlegde of the appropriate warning '''guidelines''', but sometimes it can be impractical to follow them, though I do try to adhere.  The thing is - the only vandalism I have recently reverted is to MartinBot's user page, and I tend to block when that occurs (personal attacks).  When I'm actively on RCPatrol, I always warn religiously, however if I'm making a casual revert, it's often difficult (in any case, admins should look through the user's contribs before blocking - not just the vandalism warnings (from experience)).  I really don't want to be one of those who comlains about this sort of thing, but I admit to having felt slightly affronted by a message given to new users appearing on my talk page, while a short, personal notice would have sufficed.  I have demonstrated in the past that I know the policy!  <strong>[[User:Martinp23|Mart]]<font color="red">[[User_talk:Martinp23|inp23]]</font></strong> 22:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

-== Re: similar account... ==
-...is [[User:Qxz86|this]] you? <span style="font-family: Verdana">[[User:Z.E.R.O.|<span style="color: dodgerblue">ze'''ro'''</span>]] [[User talk:Z.E.R.O.|<span style="color: midnightblue">»</span>]]</span> 00:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
-: No, it's not me. And since it was created over a year ago and has fewer than 50 edits, I also fail to see how it is "similar" in anything but name. I also find this an assumption of [[WP:AGF|bad faith]] on your part; by that logic, I could accuse you of being a sockpuppet of [[User:Zero R]] – [[User talk:Qxz|Qxz]] 00:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
-:: Actually, no; I have changed my username from Meteoroid to Z.E.R.O. at [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and I have been using this username for only 10 days. I do '''not''' know if is acceptable to change usernames more than 3 times. <span style="font-family: Verdana">[[User:Z.E.R.O.|<span style="color: dodgerblue">ze'''ro'''</span>]] [[User talk:Z.E.R.O.|<span style="color: midnightblue">»</span>]]</span> 00:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
-::: You can change usernames as many times as you wish (at least, if a bureaucrat approves the change; I imagine they'd begin to get annoyed if you requested them too often). Thanks – [[User talk:Qxz|Qxz]] 00:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
-== Sockpuppet ==
-Sorry but it is not mine. I only have one and will only ever have one. [[User:Big Boss 0|Big Boss 0]] 02:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
-It is a sockpuppet of [[User:Ockenbock]]. -- '''[[Special:Contributions/The Hybrid|<font color="Blue">The</font>]] [[User:The Hybrid|<font color="Red">Hyb</font>]][[User Talk:The Hybrid|<font color="Green">rid</font>]]''' 03:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
-Do what you have to do; I'm not an admin. Just talk to Metros232 about it first, as he is the admin who has to deal with this guy almost daily. -- '''[[Special:Contributions/The Hybrid|<font color="Blue">The</font>]] [[User:The Hybrid|<font color="Red">Hyb</font>]][[User Talk:The Hybrid|<font color="Green">rid</font>]]''' 04:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

-== Tip on warnings ==
-Don't bother issuing multiple "last warnings" to vandals. It just provokes them and they have fun pissing you off. Just report it quietly to [[WP:AIV]] and keep on reverting them until they're blocked.
