I see he's using a dynamic IP to harass you now :| —— RyanLupin • (talk) 22:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, that IP kinda freaked me out so until he stops with the scary harassment, I think it should stay deleted. Thanks —— RyanLupin • (talk) 23:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Why on earth do I keep attracting attention from the wrong people? o_O Thanks again ——Possum (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I didn't react at all in this instance, instead I continued to revert as normal. It was only when the harasser guy started texting/emailing me when I started to get panicky ——Possum (talk) 15:56, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

No, the guy threatening legal action I'm pretty sure was just a troll and he's left me be. I was referring to my dramatic behaviour back when I was harassed. I received text messages, phonecalls, emails etc. That's why I asked for my userpage be deleted. I'm just saying, I don't always react badly, only if there's a good reason XD ——Possum (talk) 16:00, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Sockuppetry

I am NOT guilty of sockpuppetry...I have the right to edit pages.

Removal of active block message

Hello J. I saw your edit summary on User talk:Rtvybo787 about the removal of an active block message. I was unaware of that. I always thought this and this were the guidelines. Can you point me in the right direction on this? Toddst1 (talk) 16:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

AFAIK there are still only 3 things that are not to be removed: Declined unblock requests while the block is active, Shared IP notices, and confirmed sockpuppetry notices. Per WP:BLANKING. –xeno (talk) 16:40, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I hope my question came across ok. I wasn't being sarcastic. It's a strange and often misunderstood rule and the weird part is the rules sometimes change. Cheers. Toddst1 (talk) 05:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

3RR question

Hi J.delanoy, just wanted your opinion on this because you looked active right now. Am I handling this correctly by removing what I see as spam links from these disambig pages? Will I be subject to 3RR if I continue? Thanks, Darkspots (talk) 22:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Nice move with the French WP. Thanks! (You forgot to sign his talk page, btw) Darkspots (talk) 23:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

So....he's still at it. [1] I'm not reverting again because of 3RR—it seems like a gray area, whether or not my reversions count as a content dispute or as vandalism reverts. I warned him for 3RR, but I'm not sure of my ground here. Thanks, Darkspots (talk) 13:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

The icing on the gâteau for me is that it's extremely likely that he's Canadian and (also/therefore) speaks perfectly good English—highlighting your point even further. Darkspots (talk) 14:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

secondary sex characteristic

Did you bother reading my rationale on the talk page? How on earth is what I have done - remove a clearly non encyclopedic photo which fails to show one of the most prominent secondary sex caharacteristics of a woman - vandalism?

Reversion of Child Support

Ah, I feel more welcome already. It would be nice if instead of simply reverting my work on Child Support you provide an "informative edit summary". Removing external links can be contentious but the section was tagged and their was no discussion on the talk page. I'm sure a compromise can be reached, if you care to discuss this onTalk:Child_support.→(_Speak•^MorgothX•_Havoc) 03:32, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I just saw that huggle thing, the revert was probably a mistake. There was vandalism on the page, though not from my edit. I removed it later. If huggle or whatever is causing these mistakes it could end up hurting things worse than regular vandals! →(_Speak•^MorgothX•_Havoc) 03:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Userpage code.

How do you hide the contents of your userpage so that it dispalys that little "TO VANDALS: Where did the information go?" thing? I would like to know so I can have that protection on my userpage. Thank you. Vandalism destroyer (talk) 03:41, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Before the text you want to hide, use <!-- and at the end of the hidden text put --> . That should do it. Useight (talk) 03:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

That only hides text so that it doesn't appear on the page. It still appears in the edit box. I want the exact opposite. I want the contents of my userpage to only appear on the page itself, and not the edit box, so that vandals can't touch it. Vandalism destroyer (talk) 14:55, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Put the text on a subpage, and {{name of subpage}} on your userpage. It won't stop vandals editing it but it'll make it harder. You can't prevent people editing your page – see that "anyone can edit" on every page? – iridescent 16:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

RE: Your edits

Hi Techman!

I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching you, and all of your reversions that I looked seem good, as did your AIV reports. I think you may be a little overzealous with your UAA reports; you may want to read WP:USERNAME for a refresher, and please remember that UAA is only intended for blatant violations.

Basically, just keep up the good work with your reversions and AIV reports, and do take a minute to read the page I linked to!

Cheers!

Question

Hi I have a question. The reason I'm asking you is because, being an administrator, you would know far more than myself or most editors. If you go to the King Kong vs Godzilla page and look under the "Legacy" section, the last paragraph talks about a script for sale (including a website link). Is it OK to leave that in there? It seems to me script solicitation on a Wikipedia page would violate some sort of policy or rule since it seems to be a form of advertising. Is that the case?Giantdevilfish (talk) 17:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Great. Thanks for the reply. It just seemed wrong to me for someone to use an online encyclopedia to advertise a script, but I just wanted to make sure that was the case which is why I asked. Cheers!Giantdevilfish (talk) 18:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Buckshot (Rapper) cousin Stones

What's up J. Delanoy I see you've made extensive contributions to the rappers Buckshot bio page and I was wondering if you could and would help me create a decent page for his cousin Stones. I have extensive information on him and was wondering why the wiki site does not feature any article of him considering him and buckshot has appeared in photos, footage, and events with each other not to mention he has co-signs from Brownsville legends such as Smoothe da hustler along with Buck and I think he is also close with St. Laz who's another up and coming Brownsville emcee that's not feautured on this site. I would love to make a page for those two but considering that I am new to this site I don't know how to with out it being deleted from the site within a matter of days. If need be you can check out either one of their myspace pages for some information of your own ,myspace/STONESMUZIK and myspace/STLAZPOTTERSFIELD. I would be very greatful if you were to help me because if you too are a lover of hip hop I know you can tell that Brownsville emcees are some of the most potent from M.O.P. to Heltah Skeltah, AZ and even some of the WU Members.

Vandalism originating from 216.56.60.210

I noticed that you recently left a warning to 216.56.60.210 regarding vandalism. The same anonymous user, just prior to that, removed all the previous (multiple) warnings from their talk page. I'm unfamiliar with the protocol for this situation, as I do not want to remove your warning in order to restore the previous ones, and I suspect that the nature of your warning will change once that user's talk page has been restored. So, I'm kind of dropping it in your lap, hoping that I will one day be able to better handle similar situations myself. Thanks so much for your help. Steamroller Assault (talk) 00:57, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey Steamroller, this popped up on my watchlist and I thought I'd help out. Users (and anons) are free to remove items from their own talk pages, per this guideline, however doing so is taken as evidence that they have read and understood the messages, and little of the same vandalism is generally tolerated. Hope this helps. – Toon^(talk) 01:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't mean to butt in here, but whether its a copyrighted script or not, the site still lists it as being solicited for sale. If this script was sold and in production then fine. But its a script being shopped around. That seems to me to be a form of advertsing as in trying to sell a script.Giantdevilfish (talk) 04:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Not only that, but the text is badly written even if it weren't advertising. The two links are the same, it's badly punctuated, the number of pages is unnecessary detail, and it's generally unencyclopedic. —KCinDC (talk) 04:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

How do you revert so fast?

When I try to revert "blanked the page", I noticed that you have already reverted it while I was trying to. I do view the recent changes list, but how do you eliminate the edit so fast? Do you use a software program? I wouldn't think it's vandalproof, because that has been disabled.

Question

Hi - I wanted to ask you about this article, where an anonymous IP editor is constantly reverting to assert that Kosovo is part of Serbia. Now in my judgment this is a content dispute which is not really vandalism, and I do not wish to partake in a revert war. But I reverted an edit he made which had an edit summary carrying a threat. Question: can his edits, owing to his edit summary/attitude, be construed as vandalism? Did I do properly to revert with Huggle, or should I leave such edits alone? Vishnava _talk 00:21, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Questions about Huggle

Hi. I'm a newbie editor with intentions of becoming a functional recent changes patroller. While I was checking out the Recent Changes page, I noticed you revert a lot of vandalism (kudos to you on that mate), but not just that –you are unbelievably fast. I definitely don't think I'm the fastest around here, but I'm definitely not slow either, yet when I get to the page, I always find you've already reverted it! I might not sleep at night if I have to assume this is the result of human training; I mean, can you really be that fast without the aid of something?

So, I read you use Huggle. I'd like to try it out, but a couple of things confuse me. Maybe you could clarify them for me, since you say you can help with the vandalism tools? Pretty please with sugar on top? :)

The questions would be:

• Is Huggle even functoinal anymore? On its page (I assume) it says MEDIAWIKI CHANGES/BUGS HAVE BROKEN HUGGLE. USE SOMETHING ELSE. THANKS. So... yeah. Kind of confused here. If it is unstable (or something), how long has it been this way? And do you think it might work properly again? (If it's broken in some way in the first place, of course)
• Is Huggle the reason you edit at the speed of light? Or do you just possess inhuman, godlike speed? I might just worship you if you do :D Or at least give you some sort of barnstar.
• Do I absolutely need rollback rights to use it? Or can I just do less things with it without having rollback rights? I want to know if I can fight vandalism better without having to apply for a privilege I don't fully understand and probably wouldn't get in a million years.

Any help on any/all of these questions is greatly appreciated. --QuadrivialMind (talk) 03:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your answers mate. If I have more questions about the vandal fighter thingamabobs, I'll be sure ask you :)

Whilst rollbacking using recent changes, i noticed that you are able to use huggle. May i ask which version you are using, and and if you have any knowlege of the current huggle problm? Thanks. Montgomery' 39 (talk) 15:23, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

about.com

Is about.com considered a reliable source? I am currently editing an article that uses about.com almost exclusively. It does not look kosher to me, and would appreciate the benefit of your experience. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 15:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

According to our article about it, About.com is an online source for original information and advice [...] The site’s content is dynamic, attempting to keep up with new information and changing consumer interests.". So I would say that it is not reliable, since apparently pretty much anyone can say anything and they don't have to back it up like we do here. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 15:44, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

That is precisely what I thought. I am removing the references, which will, unfortunately, leave the article almost wholly unreferenced. Alas... ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 15:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism block, thanks.

[3]. Nice. Fast. I won't be surprised to see more of this from 87.112-87.115, which is the floating IP range for a provider used by both the banned User:Fredrick day and the blocked User:Oxyman42, which may or may not be independent users. Quite a coincidence if they are. (The only two very active users attempting to harass me are co-located?).? Anyway, thanks. Not worth spending a lot of time on this, they will just reboot the modem. --Abd (talk) 16:42, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll just block them as they show up. It's not hard, and it requires more effort on their part than on mine. Cheers! J.delanoy^gabs_adds 16:43, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Whack-a-mole is actually kind of fun, if a bit brainless. --Abd (talk) 16:50, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Pretty much. I remember one day someone vandalized an article with several different IP addresses, so I semi-protected it, since the mainspace actually matters. They then vandalized my talk page with "Ha, I sure pwned that article". I reverted and blocked. He came back again saying "I have unlimited IP address". rv, block. He kept this up for quite a while actually, and I just kept swinging the banhammer, and I refused to protect my page. After a while, he just stopped. Most vandals are like that.

Revert on user talk

Just as a note, I have undone your revert, I like to keep all messages for reference, unless they violate guidelines or whatever of course. Whilst it does perhaps constitute a personal attack, I'd prefer it be left. Just letting you know, you did indeed do the right thing, I just like to keep everything in one place. — neuro^(talk) 17:03, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

That is not a problem, it's your talk page. I just read it as a personal attack since you had reverted him, so I removed it. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:04, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Seems Huggle is being odd, I told it to leave it alone. Then again, it's not like it's being a happy bunny at the moment as it is. — neuro^(talk) 18:24, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, in that case, sorry for yelling at you. Here's hoping Gurch gets a new version out soon... J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

You have nothing to apologise for. Have a good day, mate. :) — neuro^(talk) 18:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Deleted Eagle Mountain, Utah edit

J. Delanoy - I have been trying to delete the current entry for Eagle Mountain, Utah under the History of Mayors section because it is full of personal attacks and a subjective view of the history, which I understand to be against Wikipedia's policies.

I am a representative of Eagle Mountain City and am trying to make our entry based on facts an verifiable information only, and yet I am the one who is being threatened to be banned from editing this page.

Please tell me how I may get this corrected permanently so that those who are truly vandalizing this page may be banned.

Thank you.

Latest Amande Dobbs update

Hi there,

I dont understand why you consider adding information about past international events vandalism. I was merely addind a comment about her Bronze Medalle at the 2008 AEGON Challenge Cup http://www.tracings.net/2008chalc.html and the Gold Medall at the 2008 JGP in Mexico City in Mexico to the Biographie section. If you consider this vandalism than I will no longer waste my time trying to improve the figure skater pages you have here.

Bill Ayers

Hi J, delanoy- I noticed you semi-protected Bill Ayers due to excessive vandalism. I had been working on the article and reverting vandalism, BLP violations and unsourced POV. The problem edits are mainly coming from registered users and the minimal vandalism is removed from this article by editors faster then a bot.

I have also been working on other election related articles that are now semi-protected and I can no longer edit without creating an account. I tried to create one with my known user name IP75, but there is a inactive user 'LP75' and I get a message that says I need an Admin to create this account. Can you help me with this matter and also waive the four day waiting period so that I can continue to contribute. Thanks, IP75 75.25.28.167 (talk) 20:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I would be glad to create the account for you. Can you give me your email address so that I can send a random password to you? As far as waiving the four-day waiting period, I do not think it is technically possible to do that. I looked around everywhere I could think of, and I don't think there is any way to do that. I am reluctant to unprotect the Ayers page, since it seems extremely likely that it will receive a high amount of vandalism. Would you be willing to wait the four days? I'm really sorry that it seems that I am going to have to make you to do this, but I don't know exactly what to do. :/ J.delanoy^gabs_adds 20:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I just found and filled out a request for account form with my email, but it will not be submitted until I confirm. Would it be faster to have you create the account and how do I send you my email without posting it? I thank you for researching the four day waiting period and hope you can find someway to waive it. IP7575.25.28.167 (talk) 21:40, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I've logged into the account creation interface, so if you want, just confirm and I will create it. Or, if you prefer, just email me at j.delanoywikigmail.com, and I will have it send the random password to whatever email address you send. If you choose the latter, include something in your message mentioning this post, and post here with "I confirm that my email has the text "[whatever]" so that I know who you are. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 22:04, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I sent you an email with the subject: IP75 account creation/Request for waiver of four day waiting period. IP75 75.25.28.167 (talk) 23:18, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Stalking

Is there anyway you can stop stalking the Obama Bio page? You're so trigger happy, you even accidentally revert people commenting on the talk page! Just breathe...and relax. 68.143.88.2 (talk) 21:38, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

JD isn't "stalking" the page; he has it on his watchlist and actively patrols for vandalism. This is a valuable task and the fact that he reverted a non-vandalistic edit - and immediately reverted himself - is not grounds for a call for him to cease-and-desist. Also, I'm pretty sure he's not doing it with any sort of passion, anger, or other emotion, so telling him to "relax" is condescending. You need to realize the motivation behind his reversions before you accuse anyone of stalking. Tan | 39 21:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Wow, this is amazing...

Over 2,000 reverts today with that fancy and addicting tool. I'm even just staring at the RC watching for vandalism until you and Thingg come along. I guess today is your day for Huggling vandals isn't it? Plus, I'm also impressed at your 90K + edits on Wikipedia in honour of your vandalism reversions. I would have given you a barnstar, but I have to do homework right now. Keep up that super-fantastic huggling! (P.S. Are you going to take a break soon?) SchfiftyThree 22:32, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Whoa, I have more than 2000 edits today? Wow. I mean wow. I was at college most of the day, and I had two hours with no classes and a two hour class where I don't have to pay attention to get an "A", and a two-hour lab where my teacher's rules are "Submit good work on time, and you can do whatever you want in lab.", so I haven't really had much that I have had to do. I didn't realize before now, but Thingg and I really have been slammin' dem vandals today. I don't know when I'm going to stop, probably once the vandalism slows down a bit. Have fun with your homework... X-P J.delanoy^gabs_adds 22:38, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I just got done with homework almost an hour ago, so be aware that I might be in your HG interface! :-) SchfiftyThree 00:10, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Phew! Apparently, I made 3,412 edits on 10 October. Kudos, please? J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:30, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Um, don't you mean 8 October, JD? And speaking of your reversions, did you actually see me 'beat' you to those reverts? ;-) SchfiftyThree 02:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

No, of course not. My time machine works awesomely! Shut up... (and yes, I did see you beat me some, but I got off since I was bored.) J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I dunno, this one worked fine. I just ignored it until I got rid of all the people who had already been warned. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 23:51, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure, but my point is...how many times? Yes, I saw your earlier one about the clown who wrote "I know you're supposed to warn me 4 times" but in general...isn't it cheap enough to issue a couple more orange bars before swinging the hammer?  Frank  |  talk  23:59, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't see this reply until now. Hmm, I can't remember who it was, but they had made a lot of extremely blatant vandalism, and Huggle was acting up, so it wouldn't warn him. I had his talk page open in Firefox to issue a warning with Twinkle, and I saw him vandalize twice more on Huggle, so I just blocked him. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I can't ever see me retiring, although the amount that I edit will probably slow down at some point. Right now, most of my courses at college are pretty easy, so I have a lot of free time. I assume, though, that eventually, I will find my courses difficult, and then I won't be on as much. But I very seriously doubt I'll ever stop completely, even if I'm not on very much. I really like working with you, and a lot of other people here. Don't you ever retire either ;-) J.delanoy^gabs_adds 21:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
