Range blocks
Hiya I saw you recent post at the village pump, and thought I'd come an teach you how you could have done it.
Firstly do a reverse DNS check to see the internet provider. If it's AOL give up. AOL is far too large, has far too many computers for you to ba able to block the vandal.You'll sucseed in blocking loads of legit users and probably won't get the actual vandal.
Assuming it's not AOL then proceed as follows,
64.12.116.10 through 64.12.117.22
Set the last digits to 0 64.12.116.0 ->> 64.12.117.0
do two /24 blocks 64.12.116.0/24 and 64.12.117.0/24 that will block a total of 512 IPs
Stick to /24 only if you are at all unsure about what you are doing. Note that /31 will block fewer than /24 and /16 will block a lot more. Never go lower than /16 ( I don't you you can in actual fact anyway) Also since range blocks catch innocents as well as vandals keep them short. Policy is 24 hours only I think.

Stress
You always seem to be under a lot of stress, what with dealing with trolls and vandals and people who just don't get it. Relax and have a cookie. You'll feel better (food allergies excepted). -- Cyrius|✎ 06:18, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Farce
Hi! About Zahra Kazemi trail. Iran admited that Zahra Kazemi was killed (load word) in prison. Various official reports talk about torture, phisically attack, damaged body (load words). The article is full of load words.
A farce is a comedy written for the stage, or a film, which aims to entertain the audience by means of unlikely and extravagant yet often possible situations, disguise and mistaken identity, verbal humour of varying degrees of sophistication, which may include puns and sexual innuendo, and a fast-paced plot whose speed usually increases even further towards the end of the play, often involving an elaborate chase scene. Broad physical humor, and deliberate absurdity or nonsense, are also commonly employed in farce.
I think this is the right word about that trial: an exemplar farce with a threatening message for Iranians. --Vasile 01:49, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Maybe the farce
I added screencaps to a lot of articles, but I thought you'd like to see Denise Alexander. Look at my user contributions and tell me what you think of them. I have ten more ready to place. Mike H 02:37, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)
Oops...
Sorry, Rick...that comment was mine. I was surfing anonymously and found that ridiculous article. Couldn't resist, and I still care just enough to want to see crap speed-deleted. "Lucky 6.9" aka 4.16.255.30 06:15, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Hi, again. I'll sign in if you think that, uh, article is a VfD candidate. - 4.16.255.30 06:20, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Eva Longoria Christopher
Yeah, as far as I know, they're just in the process of divorce. For all intensive purposes, though, it's over, because Soap Opera Digest ran a "cute couple" pictorial on him and Natalia Livingston. Apparently that's why him and Eva broke up. Mike H 21:54, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)
- Off to the village pump, then. I may be staying away from VfD, but I sure as shooting am NOT going to let this idiot win anywhere else. What do I have to do to be nominated as a sysop? I'll blow the things out of the water on sight, so help me. - Lucky 6.9 22:18, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Count me in. I'm back. I may be off of VfD, but I'm back. This is war, my friend, and I am not going AWOL. - Lucky 6.9 22:29, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Yes! I've accepted the nomination. Thanks for putting me up. - Lucky 6.9 01:44, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Jonathan Jackson
No I mean the Boston merchant, state senator, state treasurer and delegate to the Continental Congress. - Signed "The guy you asked"
I added to Coronation Street and many articles that linked from there. Screencaps galore. Tell me what you think of them (other than the widescreen resolution, I already got that comment). Mike H 19:49, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
- I knew you wouldn't know anything about it, but I wanted to know if anyone had any problems with the widescreen format. Mike H 19:54, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
Vandals/Clueless Newbies
Hi, RickK. I wanted to let you know that I think you are being too harsh on vandals and clueless newbies. We should encourage them to make some proper edits, and if they don't listen, then we can warn them, and then block them. We can't just give them a final warning and then block them when they just do some testing to articles.
Also, you accused so many people of being trolls or vandals when they actually are not. Like User:128.12.53.90. [1]. You need to be more careful when you do things like this. Thanks. --Lst27 23:11, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Yes, I saw the whole page. You did apologize. But next time I think you should be careful and not accuse anyone of being vandals or trolls if they are not.
Also, for Pepperthemaster, I think he is just a clueless newbie, and doesn't really know how Wikipedia works. If you just tell him nicely what to do, maybe he will stop making those improper edits and do the right things. Thank you. --Lst27 23:26, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Animal names in Papiamento
RickK, it looks like you tagged Animal names in Papiamento VFD back in April, but the tag is still there. Any decision reached? Joyous 01:35, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
Old VFD tag
RickK, it looks like you tagged Animal names in Papiamento VFD back in April, but the tag is still there. Any decision reached? Joyous 01:37, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
- (Sorry. I have no idea how this saved twice.) Joyous 01:39, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
Are you mistaken?
Article Prem_Rawat
I removed the link to crticism page, because we have incorporated the contents of that page into the main article..... This was agreed with all other contributors. I have been working on this article with Ed Poor. Please see the talk page. --Zappaz
Yeah, Rick, what's up with "RickK m (Reverted edits by Zappaz to last version by Ed Poor)"? And marking it minor? I think we need a policy page on Wikipedia:minor edits. --Uncle Ed 16:37, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I just redirected Criticism_of_Prem_Rawat page to the main article, "critics" section. That will do it. -- Zappaz 19:36, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Note
Rick, I removed that slander from the top of your page -- it looked to me like you wanted it gone when you reverted Pepper's edit, but he only added an exclamation point to the comment already there from the anon (24.whatever). If I should have left it (for what reason, I cannot fathom), please revert me. If it was on my page, I'd want anyone who saw it to delete that kind of garbage, so I feel safe cutting it.

Deletions
As per point four of the Wikipedia policy at Wikipedia:Deletion_guidelines_for_administrators#On_deleting_pages, please do not include {{delete}} in your deletion summary. It is obviously unnecessary and clutters the deletion log. Thanks. blankfaze | (беседа!) 00:59, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- This is no longer the case since templates are not expanded in the deletion log. Angela. 00:14, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
Burnout
This last disagreement on Village Pump is really making me feel burned out. Mike H 23:43, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
Hope springs eternal!

Thank God for whois! - Lucky 6.9 00:36, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thank you SO much. - Lucky 6.9 00:50, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
listdev tag use
I saw that you removed the {{listdev}} tag from List of songs whose title includes personal names. I had added that tag because it is clearly not a complete list, but of course it never will be complete. Is that why you did so? You appear to have vastly more experience on Wikipedia, so I would appreciate your specific opinion on the use of this tag, especially since I contribute to a dozen or so such lists (having created half of them myself) and want to keep in line with good Wiki practices. Thank you. — Jeff Q 04:42, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Got your reply about Wikipedia's essential unfinishedness and the consequent pointlessness of {{listdev}}. For the most part, I agree, but I would point out that there are some lists that are sufficiently small that they could be completed; e.g., web-safe colors and area codes in the North American Numbering Plan. I don't know how many of these kinds of lists exist in Wikipedia, and some of them may not stay complete over time, but it seems the tag may have some utility. Perhaps it would be better to add some usage guidelines for it. — Jeff Q 04:59, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Vandal bot emergency
- Dude, am I ever glad you're here. Did you see that entry on VfD above the vanity article nomination you just posted? We have the vandal bot from Hell, here. I really wish I had the admin powers. I even left a comment on the nomination page asking the opposing parties to reconsider so that I can help eliminate stuff like this. Can you help block and delete these in the meantime? They are all coming in via the same proxy. Thanks again! - Lucky 6.9 06:15, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
