Barditch (Commenting on talk left on my page)
Barditch is reasonable jargon that goes back at least a century. If you don't like it, go tell your relatives. The dictionary is made up of such words that get added as they become common.. I've heard that liberals love to modify history so as to brainwash the future. For those who do this, I'd say shame on you, how do you know what the future will respect? BTW, I'm voting for Nader because the other two candidates have zero representative integrity, otherwise I'm voting Obama.. I'm Christian, but I see no reason in voting for anyone who is against abortion, people can change their mind, just go to a non-abortion pregnancy clinic run by women who didn't get abortions. If you are an individual, you should let your uniqueness be known, otherwise the lack of a unique identity will enforce stereotypes among those who love to categorize for the sake of justifying ones disposition. Is Wikipedia a source of information or is it yet another site on the web pushing idnividual agendas? --Rofthorax (talk) 21:55, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
A-Channel
i was wondering at 12:00 am on August 10th 2008 may i move the A-Channel Article to it new home on the A (television Newtwork)
please get back to me
(Dongwong (talk) 08:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC))
- You cut&pasted the content of this article. This is not allowed, because the GFDL requires the attribution of the original authors. The second problem was that you forgot the second bracket at the new article's title. --Oxymoron83 08:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
yes i know that i was wonderin when A-Channel beocmes A on August 10th if i can use the move tab button you suggested to move it to the new page using the A (Television Network)
please write back
(Dongwong (talk) 08:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC))
- Yes, if they change their name you can use the move button to change the title of the page. --Oxymoron83 08:31, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!
I didn't even notice you caught the vandalism to my userpage for a bit, until I looked at my watchlist. Wikipedia works best when this business is taken care of without making a scene. Peptuck (talk) 09:03, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Official Reaper Fan Community
Hello, my name is Amber and I have posted an external link to an official fan community in regards to the television show, Reaper.
It has been removed twice from the external links section of the Reaper wiki. I have recieved two messages about this.
Reaper ADDX, (the link I have posted) is the only active community on the internet for the CW series Reaper. My actions of posting this link was not to plug and/or advertise this website, but to give an open door to fans of the show Reaper, who are in need of crucial information, news and updates on the newly aired television series.
I am the owner/creator of this website, and would like granted permission for this to be an additional link on Reaper's wiki page.
It is a great opportunity for fans all around the world to gather in discussion of new or old episodes, their favorite actors/actresses on the show, and plot summaries.
Please take consideration on this, so that people will have the option to become one of our newly blooming community.
Thank you.
Regards,
Amber —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.204.43 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 6 Aug 2008

- The page was recently moved the other way round, so you should propose the move at the article's talk page. If there's an agreement to move the page back, it can be requested at RM instead of cut&paste moving. --Oxymoron83 22:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

With all due respect, I do have an excuse for the nonsense page (do I really need one) I was just eating my lunch when my 9-year old brother gets on and makes it. He saved it without me knowing. Sorry about that... --Vhoscythechatter-sign 16:22, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

your user page
is going to get vandalized now!!!!!!
Another IP hopping troll
From yesterday here they haven't been blocked yet and although they haven't started again, i think its right to let them sit on a block for a duration thats your choice. Thanks Monster Under Your Bed (talk) 05:59, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, this user is using dynamic IP addresses and changed it several times since then. This means that he's no longer using the above IP and a block now would not affect the vandal anymore. --Oxymoron83 12:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the Info
Hi Oxymoron, thank you for the info, however I have managed to create an account. It turned out that one of the IP's were not blocked. It seems to rotate on each log in. I see that there are some unscrupulous people using this IP and I do not wish to be associated with them. So I will not post on that talk page again. Also I wasn't sure whether to post this here or on that IP's discussion page so I put it in both. lol
Thanks again, --Wezgil (talk) 17:33, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Good to see that. Since you have an account now, you shouldn't be affected by blocks of these proxy servers. You said you've never edited Wikipedia before, so I put some links at your talk page, maybe you'll find them useful. If you have any questions, please let me know. --Oxymoron83 20:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Constant Vandalism
A couple of days ago you reverted some vandalism on my User page, and it keeps coming back, despite the fact I put the pp-vandalism template on the page. It started out by them (obviously someone who knows/hates me) putting "n00b" in my list of things I am/know how to do, and now it has been "relocated" to a comment at the beginning of the page, partially my fault for acknowledging the vandal in the first place. Why is is this still happening, albeit in the comment section, even after I placed yfull protection on the page?
Thanks, Anthony cargile (talk) 14:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Only admins can protect pages, the addition of a template doesn't protect it. You can request page protection or unprotection at WP:RPP. I've protected your userpage for a month. Please remove the personal attack from your userpage. While I can understand you feeling annoyed, personal attacks are never appropriate, please stay civil. --Oxymoron83 15:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Oh, thank you! I've removed the attacks from the comments, as the attacker shouldn't be able to mess with it anymore. Thanks a million! Anthony cargile (talk) 16:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for protecting it - I'm exhauted - I just came from a short break and had to see this mess all around. This user:ComingPresident has created quite a few edit wars since joining Wikipedia two weeks ago. Now I wanted to ask you - this user removed one entire sourced paragraph, could it be restored? I'll now try to talk to him. Shahid • Talk2me 19:43, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- Please engage in discussion first. If the paragraph you're referring to is well sourced, it shouldn't be hard to gain consensus for an inclusion. --Oxymoron83 19:58, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Not reliably sourced anyway, the situation was more of a conflict than it needed to be however, discussion is exactly what I had suggested. Other articles like as Shadrukh Khan seem to attact unwanted edits and edit wars too as here. Perhaps you could put this article on your watchlist although you problably have about 15,000 articles on there at the moment. The guy is basically like a Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt of Indian cinema but due to the huge population of India probably has more fans worldwide in Asia. As you can imagine it attracts a lot of fan cruft. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 20:25, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Again
Sorry to bother you again, but some warrant on wikipedia deleted my user page, citing advertising. You had a look at my page, and yet you didn't delete it, so why did this guy?
Also, being new here, I don't know about wikipedia's deletion policy, but I was never forewarned about this AT ALL, so I had no way to correct it before it was deleted. And what really gets me is the fact he did it after I had the protection on the page you gave me, which by the way the vandal posted a very stalkerish comment (refer to it in the history) on my talk page, so I am dealing with something quite big here, and now the person is open to freely place slander on my user page one again, possibly even threats.
I don't want this, I don't need this, and I have no idea why any of this is happening to me. Is there anyway to just keep my user page permanently blank, or just placing one link to the "about me" page on my website without appearing as spam, and just leaving it alone, without any vandalism or unwarranted deletions? I know I'm taking this a little seriously, but, come on, I just don't want to be stalked like this nor having to worry about it, especially since I had a relative killed by a stalker in the 90's before cyber-stalking even existed, so I'm a little worried about this sort of thing.
Anthony cargile (talk) 19:51, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hello Anthony, I agree that he should have contacted you, especially since you didn't create the account for the sole purpose of advertising yourself, aren't unwilling to change the content of your userpage and he removed the protection from the page. I hope the issue is resolved to everyone's satisfaction now.
- About the userpage vandal, best you revert and ignore them, they will go away automatically if you pay no attention. You might also leave your current account alone and create a new non-real name account (without mentioning your real name on your new userpage of course), but that's up to your decision. --Oxymoron83 03:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've just come across your userpage after seeing that you deleted an article that I'd CSD-tagged.

WP:AFC suggestion on German fair.
Hi, Oxymoron83! Since you are German, and since you're one of the most trusted and respectable administrators in all of the Wikipedia, (if I might say so myself!) I figured you were the best person to ask. User:92.72.208.212 suggested an article on Cranger Kirmes, a German fair, in WP:AFC, and I wanted to know if the subject is notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia. I've copied the suggestion onto one of my sandboxes, here; could you please look it over for me? Thanks!!! Mess around with the guy in shades all you like - don't mess around with the girl in gloves! (talk) 23:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's notable due to long tradition (has origin in 15th century) and the size. A few reliable sources from national journals and many more from regional newspapers can be found, although they are only in German, what is not preferential, but acceptable. The English GHits I found only point to youtube & similar pages. In case you didn't notice, there's already a de Wikipedia article and Commons category for some pictures. I don't have time now, but can help you with this article later today. Regards --Oxymoron83 03:36, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
My Feet Questions
Regarding human feet and toes, information about feet has to be credible even though it's highly disputed. Foot arches, feet and toes are in a major debate under many podiatrists and those that do feet and are experts. The trouble really, however, actually is getting the edits without vandalizing the articles and getting proper sources.
Foot arches are under serious controversy-the debates in foot arches are a major issue; there are debates regarding high arches, medium arches, low arches and flat arches.
I observed Toe as being constantly hit with vandalism, please tell me about that. And Happy Labor Day of 2008. Atkinson 12:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Glenview bells (talk • contribs)

my error
My sincere apologies for the problem caused by my use of WikiCleaner. I was using it to pinpoint pages in need of corrective action and was indeed viewing and fixing each individually. I wasnt aware of glitches or problems with the 'tool' and had no idea that it was automatically making so many inaccurate changes, entirely independent of myself. The realization of this dilemma is frustrating because I honestly contributed a significant number of accurate, productive edits. Thanks--1oddbins1 (talk) 22:17, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Can you delete this and then create the page again to point to the correct page here. That way the edit summ vand would not show up instead of deleting and restoring. The correct redirect is valid is it not? I dont know why someone didn't think of this redirect before and it had to be a banned user that did. Thanks Monster Under Your Bed (talk) 06:25, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- Done. The redirect was present before, but an admin didn't properly correct the vandalism and deleted this redirect at another page title. --Oxymoron83 06:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Please dont get rid of this page, Scott Gordon (smelly person). I dont know if its you thats doing it, but apparently its not notable or something. I dont even know what that is or understand it, it's not like anyone cares anyway. So please keep the page there, I want my friends to see it. (:

- We are writing an encyclopedia. If you want to create joke pages, try at myspace or get your own webspace somewhere else on the net. Also, please stop to vandalize other pages if you don't want to be blocked from editing. --Oxymoron83 13:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Humani generis redemptionem.
Thank you, I basically agree, but as I tried to move the page, it did not work as the correctly spelled page already existed with a redirect. So I was at a loss what to do and simply exchanged information. It will not raise much concenr, as old encyclicals are not excactly high in traffic. Thank's--Ambrosius007 (talk) 12:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- It's not a question of traffic, the question is if there's consensus to change the title, esp. as the other Humani generis pages are at non-capitalized page titles. You can explain your reasons for the title changes at WP:RM or a related Wikiproject page to gain consensus, and an admin will move the page afterwards without the loss of the page history. --Oxymoron83 12:23, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Merit badge?
Thanks for the speedy reverts and protection [3] on my talk page. Is there a merit badge for admins who have been enough of a pain in the butt for you-know-who that they become a target for his redirect vandalism? Being targeted certainly makes me feel good like I have been doing a good job in my admin duties! Thanks again, Kralizec! (talk) 15:56, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Houda Nounou
There is a problem and I saw you edit this page before so asking for some advice or to bring toyour attention. One page has been made about a person when a page about the person already exists!!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houda_Nounou & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houda_Nonoo I was going to do some additions but don't know what to do now with this one as where to edit? I don't know if you can help with this, or maybe you know someone who can do so. Thank you v. much for any help that is possible here.
10x10x10 (talk) 14:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for spotting that. You can merge the contents of Houda Nounou to Houda Nonoo and state in the edit summary that User:Aridd is the author of that content (and make your own additions in a separate edit), or leave Aridd a note on the talk page, asking if he wants to merge himself. Then you redirect Houda Nounou to the other page by replacing the content with #REDIRECT [[Houda Nonoo]]. --Oxymoron83 14:28, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you v. much for help. I will contact thuis person for help. Thank you. 10x10x10 (talk) 14:35, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Why did you delete my photo?
08:33, 1 September 2008 Oxymoron83 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image talk:GrandCanyonAerialViewByPhilKonstantin.jpg" (G2: Test page)
I had this on the Grand canyon page. You deleted it. Why?
I personally took the photo while I was flying over the Grand Canyon. I released it into Public Domain.
Return it.

- Hello Phil, your photo was never deleted. I deleted the talk page for this image twice, because IP users created the page with random gibberish. --Oxymoron83 14:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Nice!
Nice work on the block of 209.7.237.117 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). Your implementation of an eight hour school block strikes me as being both even-handed and fair. Kudos to you, sir! --Kralizec! (talk) 14:58, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. The intention was to get the current user of that IP blocked while keeping collateral damage for others low, as there are only few edits every some months. While most school IPs are used mainly for vandalism, I did not abandon hope that there are good pupils. --Oxymoron83 15:16, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- I fear that you and I are two of the very few admins who feel that way. :-( --Kralizec! (talk) 21:08, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, unfortunately :( The blocking policy could also be a bit improved in this respect, but I guess it is too difficult for most admins to differentiate between dynamic, static, shared and non-shared IPs. --Oxymoron83 21:50, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Request for Image Deletion
Hello Oxymoron83, I copied my images (1,2) to the Wikimedia Commons (1,2), can you please delete the original copies in wikipedia (if this is the right thing to do)? . After deleting the original copies in wikipedia, will the page look like (eg. this page) or not?
Thank you, ■ MMXXc.t 15:13, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Done. No, they will not look like the Wikimedia Community Logo after deletion, they will still look like the CVU Award :P --Oxymoron83 15:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much, and what i meant was the Page Template not the image itself. Thanks again. ■ MMXXtalk 07:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Not sure, she said she was on the pages Fire and Green (I have no clue why...) Does that help any?
It was maybe 10 minutes ago...

Unblocking my IP
hi, yesterday you blocked my IP (84.9.61.202) - could you please read the emails I have sent you regarding this? thanks Toby <email address removed>. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmovies (talk • contribs) 11:52, 11 Sep 2008

Hi Oxymoron83, OK, apologies, I wasn't aware of this. I shall not add any further links of this nature. It is likely, however, that I shall add links to the celebrities pages to their official websites (where they are not there already). It looks like this is OK? Can you confirm please? If it is OK, is there a way that I wouldn't be blacklisted again if I am doing a few of these at a time? thanks Toby —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmovies (talk • contribs) 12:29, 11 Sep 2008
- You can add links to their official website. If the links are in line with our external links guideline and if you discuss the insertion of a link another user disagrees with instead of continuing to insert them, you will not be blocked again. --Oxymoron83 13:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
