Sock accusation

I don't have any idea what the guy's problem is. His attacks are certainly uncalled for. I think it's appropriate to remove the personal attack from his page if you wish--I didn't check the rules. If he starts in again, I'll drop a note at WP:WQA. Cheers, Katr67 (talk) 00:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll leave it as is for the time being. Both you and Baseball Bugs have responded and hopefully that should deter him from filing a false sockpuppetry case. If he starts his lies again, I will delete the whole section. Willking1979 (talk) 01:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: WLEX Edits

They were fishy to me so I reverted them. The information wasn't really necessary to begin with and with the user being out of Indiana, my "something ain't right detector" was going off. Another good catch. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 27, 2009 @ 04:26

The IP address came back to Sprint PCS...which indicates it may have came from an internet-enabled cell phone. Hopefully the IPer will read WP:CITE before editing again. Thanks, Willking1979 (talk) 04:44, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

==How'd you find out about that so quick?

Twinkle, a tool used for fighting vandalism. Willking1979 (talk) 19:26, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Guess Who's Back

Nah, that is an IP user who is seriously obsessed with the digital transition. He was blocked for a month for just this and is back at it. I would revert on spot. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 29, 2009 @ 22:50

Reverted several of his edits that were not previously reverted. Thank goodness for rollback. Willking1979 (talk) 23:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I am trying to get the anon user blocked but User:Either way (formerly "Metros") is letting his "issues" (whatever they may be) with me cloud his judgement and he is dragging his feet. I have let the previous admin who blocked the user know what is going on. I would keep an eye out because the anon user is redoing what we are reverting. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 29, 2009 @ 23:54

I am thinking about emailing an uninvolved admin reviewing the matter. Hopefully Either way will block him, but we'll see. Willking1979 (talk) 23:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

If you wish to email an that admin, please by all means. It seems like Metros (I call him Metros, not Either way) is actually defending him. A couple dozen warnings with new warnings today, a couple blocks and and hundreds of reverts....this isn't someone who is working in the projects best interests. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 29, 2009 @ 23:59

Just reverted more of the IPer's edts. Sent email to an admin regarding the situation. Willking1979 (talk) 00:09, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Either way is not letting his "issues" with Orangemonster2k1, Flatsky, Alostnickel, Tehunknown Neutralhomer cloud his judgment but is acting with good faith because he doesn't see how it's pure vandalism. The infobox info isn't a standard according to the WikiProject. None of his other edits scream "vandalism!!" to me. If you seek wider input, take it to ANI rather than sending emails to other admins. either way (talk) 00:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Either way is resorted to personal attacks and dregging up all crap in the third person...nice, haven't seen that before. William, you are doing just fine. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 30, 2009 @ 00:35

Thanks, NH for the complement and telling the truth. Bringing up the past is a very bad way to do things on WP. Willking1979 (talk) 00:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

You're Welcome William :) I know I did some bad stuff like socking a couple years ago. I paid the price for it, came back as a good standing member (after being on probation for awhile) and am now off probation. It is not something I am proud of and something I shouldn't have done....which is why I don't talk about it, but it is public record. Dregging up the past like that is very bad form but something people do as a "come back", I guess. Oh well, I don't let it get to me anymore. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 30, 2009 @ 00:48

It's just a little hypocritical to call someone by their former user handle but not be okay with yourself being called by former name(s). either way (talk) 00:44, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Metros, stop trying to start fights and dishing out veiled personal attacks by dregging up the past. It ain't gonna work. If you want to talk about this like civilized human beings on your talk page, we can do that, otherwise act like an admin, take the highroad and leave me alone. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 30, 2009 @ 00:48

Stop referring to me as Metros then. You're just doing it to be a WP:DICK, so I encourage you to stop and stop now, either way (talk) 00:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Now you are threatening me? Oh this is great....and on another person's talk page even. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 30, 2009 @ 00:55

Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my talk page earlier! Keep up the good work. -BloodDoll (talk) 03:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Have a great weekend. :) Willking1979 (talk) 03:33, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Edit on David Denby

Is there a legit reason you made this edit?123.174.145.128 (talk) 16:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

It appeared to be vandalism and smears. Willking1979 (talk) 16:22, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I couldn't help noticing this?! Changing memoirs to Autobiography is neither vandalism, nor a smear. Please show greater caution in your reverting edits. cygnis insignis 15:14, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

While some of the IPer's edits on that article were disruptive and had POV issues...upon further examination, I admit I may have jumped the gun on that specific edit. I'll be careful as a Huggler. Willking1979 (talk) 15:26, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

reverting

Hi. Cheers for your revert of this test edit, but you overlooked a significant act of vandalism just prior to this. A referenced section was removed in its entirety. Regards, cygnis insignis 15:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

In this situation, I was Huggling and did not notice the deleted ref. I do apologize. Willking1979 (talk) 15:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Ta for the reply, its something to look out for. Automated editing has its pitfalls, and can invariably be used to advantage by vandalisers. Cheers, cygnis insignis 15:53, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
