Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, ItsLassieTime! I am Collectonian and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia!

Nice work

Greetings! Just wanted to day "nice work!" on The Mansion of Happiness. I tidied up one or two things, and think that you should nominate this article for Good article status. I think it's there (or pretty close) to that standard now. Having seen what you did for this article, I had a quick look at some of your other work, such as Cootie and Play-doh and think that you might want to consider nominating those articles for GA status as well. They might need a bit of work in terms of adding a few section headers as appropriate, but those both look quite good now. Cheers! --Craw-daddy | T | 20:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Donna Reed Show

Awesome job on the recent work you did on The Donna Reed Show. It looks and reads much better! Pinkadelica ^{Say it...} 10:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Ruth Martin (Lassie)/GA1

I finished the review. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 20:46, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks much for the Barnstar for Pal (dog actor)! That really wasn't necessary, but I do very much appreciate it. Frankly, I really enjoyed reviewing Pal (dog actor) and found it pretty rewarding to get it to GA status. I also meant to tell you that, as you yourself pointed out, the Lassie article could use some work, and I think some time down the road you should consider tackling that one yourself. Obviously, that one will require more non-Pal sources, but I think you'd be the person for the job. Good job, once again! --Hunter Kahn (talk) 18:25, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to say thanks, as well, for the kind words. :) I'm glad to have helped. Best of luck in the future, María (habla conmigo) 19:03, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

For helping with so much. I'm taking some time away from Wikipedia because of a new job assignment. Feel free to access my articles and work them up to GA status if you wish. You're a blessing! ReverendLogos (talk) 20:58, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Hispanics in the U.S. Navy

Hello ItsLassieTime. How are you? Thank you for the advice and good advice may I add. I removed some no-essential images, plus moved the placement of others. Thank you once more. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:03, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Milo of Croton

Good work on expanding the article by the way. I have to say that it adds a nice academic edge to your GA works. And I thought my choices of topics were odd! Cootie? What the hell is Cootie?! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 18:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted a GA review at Talk:Milo of Croton/GA1. --Philcha (talk) 18:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've found one small, slightly bureaucratic issue, no accessdates on Web links. Everything else is OK. --Philcha (talk) 12:56, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, it's a pass. Many thanks for the work you've put into this, and for your prompt responses to the comments in the review - it's been a pleasure working with you. --Philcha (talk) 08:45, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comics genres

Hi, I've seen all the good work you've done on horror comics and romance comics, so I thought it worth dropping you a note pointing out we are discussing organising putting a bit more focus on all the comics genre articles to bring them up to standard: WT:CMC#Science fiction comics / graphic novels.

We have an improvement driving rolling along and one of the things I'd like to do is get all the eras of comics articles up to spec (we just got Silver Age of Comic Books to GA) as they are good articles for people to get an overview of the field and so should be central to the Project (and ultimately we have an eye on Wikipedia 1.0). Clearly comics genres are another useful overview of the field for people and information/sources that come up for history of comics could also be useful for the history of genres. As you've put in a lot of work on both genre and history of the genres your input would be much appreciated.

Cheers. (Emperor (talk) 17:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Good work

I took a glance at your two articles that are currently listed at WP:GAN and I have to say I'm impressed; they seem to be a major improvement compared with the articles that we discussed in the past. It seems like you're gaining experience and quickly improving as an editor; keep up the good work! rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 03:50, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

April 2009

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for sockpuppetry. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below. KnightLago (talk) 20:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

ItsLassieTime (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am in the middle of reviewing a GAN. Please unblock my account so I can continue.

Decline reason:

You have not addressed why we should unblock you after you abused multiple accounts. Prodego ^talk 20:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

ItsLassieTime (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I ask that the block on this account be lifted. I accept complete responsibility for the multiple accounts. Some accounts were created to manage material more easily, for example, the Buttermilk1950 account was created to keep the 'rodeo' articles separate from other articles. None of the accounts were created with malicious intent, to engage in vandalism, or to deliberately create disruption although, as we have seen, disruption did occur. I am truly sorry. This account has won several GAs and I think Wikipedia has been enhanced in some small way. I should like to continue crafting articles to achieve GA status. I have learned a lesson. I ask that the block be lifted on ItsLassieTime, and I vow not to create multiple accounts in the future nor to engage in disruption of any kind.

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I ask that the block on this account be lifted. I accept complete responsibility for the multiple accounts.

Admins considering an unblock should be aware of these warnings: [1] and [2], and perhaps others farther back (I did not exhaustively search but there's a long term pattern here). I'm perhaps too close to the situation, since it was my wife that was (in my view) rather viciously and repeatedly attacked, but I'd be disinclined to unblock for a while, or at least until some reason to believe no more disruption would occur. Given the account's history (see the AN/I thread: [3] (history version) and follow some of the diffs to see long term corrosive behaviour going back to this accounts very start) more than just an assurance is needed, in my view. At the very least, if an unblock is granted, it should be with the understanding that very best behaviour is required and this is a last chance. ILT: removal of this section prior to block expiration or resolution will be looked on VERY unfavorably... strongly advise against it. ++Lar: t/c 11:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Lar for joioning in. I assure you I have learned a lesson about cooperative behavior at Wikipedia, about collegiality, and that no further incidents of a disruptive nature shall occur. I would like to point out that much of my time at Wikipedia has been of a productive, positive, and constructive nature in creating or bringing articles to GA. I hope that will be weighed in the balance. I am not perfect and I have made some grievous errors. I have learned from those errors. My only interest in Wikipedia is to produce GA articles. I am proud of my GA list, and am interested in lengthening it. I vow to continue good work, to avoid any disruptive behavior, and to work with an eye on doing my best. I am confined to a wheelchair, not in the best of health, and hope that when the time comes my obituary will read, (among other things), that I "enjoyed writing articles for the online encyclopedia Wikipeida".

Unfortunately, your tendency to write stories undermines your credibility, even if you happened to be telling the truth with this one.
