When I called him on it, his buddy 75.3.141.197 started vandalizing my talk and userpages with racial epithets, blanking and replacing with "poo", etc. I see your point in general, but my opinion is that both of these particular users deserved to be reported. NawlinWiki 22:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC) Also check out 68's last edit (redirecting Taiwan to China). NawlinWiki 22:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC) Snake Liquid Please check the talk page for Snake Liquid's RfC. He seems dissatisfied with a comment you made and that I repeated on the talk page. Please clarify your reasoning for him. You may remove this comment from your talk page when you are done with this issue. --Targetter (Lock On) 23:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC) Never mind. Discussion was closed. Thank you for your input, and sorry for the interruption. --Targetter (Lock On) 23:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC) Clarified reasoning might actually help, especially because I was unaware of how popular I was among you people. Also because I'm under the impression that if I so much as edit a spelling error or change wording to improve an article, nevermind a picture, someone's going to pounce on it and call it vandalism and tell on me like a little kid. A bias, maybe? My own topic category on at least three seperate user talk pages, I'm surprised.--Snake Liquid 00:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC) Save me? Heh. Right. How condescending and patronizing of you. You didn't help me at all. You didn't get my record cleared,or my charges dropped, you didn't get me any amnesty. You came in and said if someone gets pissed off at me for whatever reason (and knowing how you guys act, it doesn't take much, and a lot of things are taken the wrong way in the wrong context), you'd get rid of me, only you changed the words around to make it sound like you were a nice guy. You're not. You can't ban me either. And no, I won't take my argument some place else,. If I can get called on civility, they can get called on contradiction, hypocrisy, and abuse of authority. And there are two sides to every problem. People provoke, and get provoked. If you ignore them, you're just as bad as they are, and for a minute I thought you were one of the good guys.--Snake Liquid 04:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC) Gibnews Rfc Your comments added to the RfC are imprecise; Since he is only making POV edits that favors one reasonable side (ie: not pushing extremist ideologies), I think we should just give him a warning, and tell him that he needs to stop or leave. He needs to make this choice himself, as I always say. Arbiteroftruth 00:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC) If the he referred to is me, then a cursory check will show that I have made a lot of edits and included a quantity of images, text and references and therefore totally refute the claim of only 'making POV edits' On the other hand, some of the other editors have been obsessed with an attempt of including inappropriate pejorative language in relation to the Gibraltar finance industry, based on references which do not actually back up their claims, and flooding the talk page with large extracts from the Spanish language wikipedia, where a link would be appropriate; I got trashed for doing just that Can I suggest you revise your contribution. --Gibnews Generally the need to invoke the Nazis, unless there is a direct connection, suggests that godwins law has applied. --Gibnews Wikipedia Signpost Thank you very much for signing up to do the interwiki report for the Chinese Wikipedia. Here are a couple of things you need to note: The report is due to ethier me or Kpjas by 00:00 13 August 2006 at the latest. We need to look it over; copyedit it, etc. If you don't know what to write look at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-07-24/Interwiki report, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-07-31/Interwiki report and Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-08-07/Interwiki report. By the time the report gets to us it should have been moved to this title: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-08-14/Interwiki report. And by the way, this isn't for about another week. It will go live August 14th. Good luck. Carmelapple 14:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC) Thank you for the report. Carmelapple 23:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC) User page work Hiya! Putting the sharedip tag on so many user pages: great (though the language on them is more suited for user talk pages; maybe we need a special one for marking user pages? Marking user pages of banned etc. editors: great! What you put on User:Incorrect -- not good at all; a personal attack, regardless of its accuracy. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 16:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC) Alright (In response) That makes two of us.--Snake Liquid 23:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC) Drini and the CVU deletion You, like so many other Wikipedians, seem to have felt that Drini's actions in the CVU deletion proccess were wholly inappropriate and did not follow policy. As a result, I'm forming an ad-hoc group of sorts composed of people interested in removing Drini. If you'd like to be involved, just drop me a note. ShortJason 20:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the support. How do you suggest we proceed? ShortJason 02:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC) Drini's talk page Just as a heads up, you probably don't want to continue that discussion on Drini's talk page. I completely understand your feelings, but statements such as "How typical...this implies guilt" hurt your case. If dispute resolution on this issue does occur, those type of comments are going to severly weaken your overall argument. The entire debate will become about civility and AGF instead of what it should be about: admin over-reaction. As I've suggested on my talk page there are several productive things you can do from here. Continued discussion on Drini's talk page is not one of them. Thanks. --Nscheffey(T/C) 23:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC) Civility in criticism, please Comments like this one – where you compare another editor to Robert Mugabe – are not an appropriate way to express criticism on Wikipedia. In future, please bear in mind these three points. Wikipedia is an open project, and everyone can read everything that you write. Our policies require civil discussion at all times, even on user talk pages. Ways to resolve disputes are listed here. All of the methods are guaranteed to be equally if not more effective than namecalling on third-party talk pages. Cheers, TenOfAllTrades(talk) 13:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC) Anson Chan edit? I'm confused as to why you put the test1 template on my Talk page[1]. May I ask your reasons? None of my edits were vandalism, and none of my edits were reverted either. - Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 22:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC) Reply - Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 22:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC) Get A Mac Ads "RV" stands for "ReVerting", not "Reverting Vandalism". I know I used to be confused with that too. I thought I wrote why I was doing that, but apparently I didn't. The reason I reverted it is the entry isn't meant to be a script of the ad, and the fact the end shows a powerbook with its cord being pulled isn't notable. --TheTruthiness 09:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC) Could you verify a reference in Chinese? On penis, there is a reference to the Guangzhou Daily, used to support the date and location of the first penis transplant. Could you please look at the referenced page and see if it supports this? Thanks. –RHolton≡– 12:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the confirmation. I'd like to say that I'll sleep better for knowing this is true, but... –RHolton≡– 03:49, 19 September 2006 (UTC) Help with Translation Hi, my name is Ricardo Ramírez, I'm from Colombia and I'm working in the article of Cúcuta. Can you help me to translate it from the Spanish Wikipedia? Cúcuta - Spanish Wikipedia - Click [2] Cúcuta - English Wikipedia - Click [3] The spanish article is very long. Could you help me with the section of stadistics? Thanks... Ricardoramirezj ✍ 15:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC) Barnstar on talk page I'm so glad you brought this up, and disappointed I was out of the country to see it. You're the second person to try. Yep, been there, done that. You people affiliated with the CVU have this terrible idea that you are some kind of crack Gestapo, standing for justice and peace and all other royal-blue things on Wikipedia (when you're not even an official project!). That you assail every admin who even doubts your presence (think Drini) is further evidence of what you people think you are. Here is an excellent case in point: The barnstar on your userpage was awarded by the Sockpupppet of a vandal. I would suggest to you kindly to remove it. Rather than patrolling recent changes or doing whatever it is you do, your primary concern is with a barnstar that Bobby Boulders awarded me over a month ago. I agree 100% with him on his arguments on the MfDs, as did some other Wikipedians including me (you chaps at CVU are quick to gloss that over because you busted a vandal in the process). BB presented some astonishingly brilliant arguments and I supported him one hundred percent. That he wasn't careful enough to let the MfD live is a let down, to say the least, but I'm waiting for an opportune time to MfD you again. Campaign before the elections, if you will. That said, he did not vandalize my user page when presenting the barnstar, did he? I restored the edit. Live with it. The revert I made was nearly a month before your comment. It's BEEN over for a long time. Was it just not enough to leave it alone? --JStalk 00:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC) Vandalism Please do not accuse other editors of vandalism when their edits are not intended to disrupt or decrease the quality of Wikipedia. Please assume good faith, especially in heated content disputes. Thank you, Kusma (討論) 09:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC) Calm down! Do not use the term "vandalism" when not called for. Calm down. You, along with other users, are escalating a factual conflict into something silly. I suggest you take a one day wikibreak, research the facts, then come back with the proper references for your facts. -- Egil 09:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC) Your attempt to get my attention About the messages you left on my Talk page, leaving specific messages on admin's Talk pages is not the correct way to get admin assistance unless the admin is specifically involved in the dispute. I'm not really sure how you found me as I have had no contributions to France 24 that I recall and I don't believe that I have interacted with you before (though I have seen you). Having an argument on an uninvolved editor's Talk page is generally not a good idea. Please use the standard methods to request assistance in the future. Sometimes the assistance will come slower than you would prefer, but eventually an admin will assist you. -- Gogo Dodo 17:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC) Re:72.36.201.226 = User:Enlighter1 and User:Universalgenius Hello Arbiteroftruth, I'm afraid that it's very rare to put an indefinite block on an IP address. If the IP resumes vandalism on your user pages, I will extend the block to a longer period of time. Just let me know if it happens. --Deathphoenix ʕ 23:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC) It's A Wonderful Life Thanks for your message. Looking at the history I see that I reverted to the wrong version. Thanks anyway! Xanucia 04:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC) Re your message: Yeah, it appears to be some coordinated attack. All their images have been deleted and I checked the accounts that uploaded them for any leftover images. I'll watch the article for a bit and, if necessary, page protect it if they keep going. -- Gogo Dodo 04:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC) Re your message: Ah, that's why the interest. I didn't know it was airing tonight. -- Gogo Dodo 04:57, 17 December 2006 (UTC) Re your message: Another admin decided to page protect it. And it looks like they settled down anyways. -- Gogo Dodo 05:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC) AfD Nomination: BBC 'Rhythm & Movement' idents I've nominated the article BBC 'Rhythm & Movement' idents for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that BBC 'Rhythm & Movement' idents satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ITV Idents and Presentation. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of BBC 'Rhythm & Movement' idents during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. --tgheretford (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC) Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bbc1taichi.jpg) Thanks for uploading Image:Bbc1taichi.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is as a result of the AfD nomination above and was required to keep the article. Hope you don't mind Wikiwoohoo 19:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC) Re: A Question Re your message: Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I wanted to have enough time to thoroughly look into your question instead of just quickly answering it. I think it might be a bit early for you to pursue an RfA. Looking at your contributions, I don't think you have done enough RC Patrolling or other admin-related functions to pass an RfA. I would suggest either spending some more time doing RC Patrolling or being involved in the Deletion Process. I think your encyclopedic contributions are fine, but you need more experience in admin-related areas. I see that you thought about an RfA this time last year. Just on a side note, you said that you have been around since summer 2005. I think you mean 2004 as your earliest edit was April 2004. =) So you certainly have the "be an editor in good standing for N months" requirement that a lot of !voters have for RfAs covered. =) -- Gogo Dodo 23:35, 20 January 2007 (UTC) Re: Hey Hey, it's nice to meet you, Kenny. :) -- RattleMan 16:07, 23 January 2007 (UTC) Long-term block of 165.234.100.1 As much as I would like to, Wikipedia policy advises against indefinite blocks against IP adresses, as they may be re-assigned at a later date. Currently, the block against the IP address should expire some time around mid-August.

I'm not sure if you were using a tool such as VandalProof to make this report, but it's best to wait until an IP has vandalised after the final warning before making the report. Thanks, Deathphoenix ʕ 17:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC) No problem. Given the recent volume of reports for anons that haven't edited after a final warning, I figured I should start taking the extra time to inform other users when I remove such a report. :-) Thanks for replying, Deathphoenix ʕ 19:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC) Image tagging for Image:Hk02.gif Thanks for uploading Image:Hk02.gif.

I admit that the "Die trivia die" edit comment was humorous and could confuse someone not paying attention, but the section tag clearly said that trivia section should be removed, and I agreed, so I did. You should read the Wikipedia:Assume Good Faith and Wikipedia:Vandalism#What vandalism is not sections before you do that sort of nonsense again. 216.165.158.7 06:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC) User:4.156.201.14 IP should probably also be permanently blocked along with that User:芸術破壊行為 User:Blarga2 was blocked first for edits to John Madden (football) followed by the anonymous IP and the Behaviors of Artistic Vandalism chimed in with similar edits. If the anonymous IP is the root, it might eliminate this user. Thanks for the block. They all have similar vandal edits tonight. Ronbo76 06:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC) Welcome messages Hi, I noticed you left some welcome message for the users Empire3212, Snowmanstud, Rasitgorgulu, and Philliph41. I wasn't sure if you realize, but you left these notes on their user pages, instead of their talk page. Just a heads up, happy editing. Leebo T/C 20:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC) host info I notice you are adding {{ISP}} to every anon page you edit. May I ask why? That template should only be used on shared or dynamic IPs, which most aren't. What makes you think these IPs fall under those categories? Prodego talk 01:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC) The template says extra caution should be used in blocking, which implys the the IP is shared. However, this is not true for the majority of IPs, so it may be misleading to less technically versed administrators. Prodego talk 01:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC) Blocking an IP is not a precarious business, it is very common. It is extremely rare that a vandal be reported to it's ISP, so this isn't really worth the work. ISPs do not care about wikipedia vandals, they strongly defend their clients. Therefore, IPs are not reported, since the ISP will just say no anyway. Even the overloaded and relatively abandoned WP:ABUSE limits itself to schools and government agencies. Prodego talk 02:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC) Anyway, I would like if you would stop doing that, since that template adds to Category:Shared IP addresses, and may misrepresent what kind of IP an anon is. Dynamic IPs are a minority. Thanks, Prodego talk 02:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC) Re: Interview Sure, but it can't be too long. -- RattleMan 05:03, 3 April 2007 (UTC) Contactor Hello.

I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

Carlos5678 05:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC) Maxi Biewer A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Maxi Biewer, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.130.152.219 16:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC) Horizon (TV) Hi, I noticed you created this article regarding a U.S. local news programme. Note that there was already an article on a different TV series under this name, as clearly listed at Horizon (disambiguation). I have retitled the two articles to avoid confusion, but please take care and check the disambiguation page in future. Thank you. Fourohfour 14:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC) User:Garric Hi, thanks for reporting this user's behavior. You gave him a final POV warning after his last contribution, so I think we should assume a last bit of good faith before blocking him. If he blatantly inserts POV, don't hesitate to report him. -- lucasbfr talk 08:22, 4 June 2007 (UTC) I double checked his contribs and to be honest I don't feel a block would be anything else than punitive at the moment. In my opinion, his edits are not disruptive enough to warrant a block. I left him a message, I would suggest you to try to bring him on the talk pages of the article to discuss the changes (or dispute resolution if he really doesn't listen). -- lucasbfr talk 08:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
