Thanks for the help, I was getting a bit confused there. --Alchemist Jack (talk) 00:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem. :) Willking1979 (talk) 00:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

User: ForeignFuxer:

ok thank you he/she is a possible sock--Dcheagle (talk) 01:29, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah...He messed around with my admin symbol earlier on this page...that was the last straw that helped force the block. Willking1979 (talk) 01:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

i can understand Ive been dealing with this guy all day.--Dcheagle (talk) 01:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I shall trout you

I shall trout you for your edit to Template:SortKey. You should always add protection templates inside <noinclude>...</noinclude> tags in templates. Debresser (talk) 11:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Not to mention that full protection seems overdoing things for a template that is transcluded on less than 20 pages and does not pertain to any "hot-item" content. Debresser (talk) 11:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

My bad...It was my first time doing that kind of protection and I apologize for the oversight. Willking1979 (talk) 12:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Are you going to consider stepping down to semi-protection? You can make up to me by null-editing the 4 images from Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. That would help cleaning out the category, and I can't do it since I'm not an admin. Debresser (talk) 13:14, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I may be busy in the next few...but I'll get to them ASAP. Willking1979 (talk) 13:39, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 Done. It was confusing at first, but it is done. Willking1979 (talk) 14:22, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. What did you find confusing? Debresser (talk) 17:11, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Whether or not I had to include text...I edited one image with "noinclude," but later reverted my own edit because the padlock disappeared on the original edit. After those two edits, the image did not appear in the category. On the last three images, I simply did not enter text but simply clicked on "Save page." Since then, the category is empty. Willking1979 (talk) 17:34, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

That's why I asked for a null-edit... :) Debresser (talk) 22:32, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I've learned my lesson...thou shalt not put text on null edits. There is no such thing as a perfect admin...I learn as I go and go as I learn. :) Willking1979 (talk) 22:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Account Creation

I have no idea if i should ask this here put could i get you to great an account by the username Dcheagles--Dcheagle (talk) 19:40, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Have you tried this to create the account? If not, go here. Also, is this going to be used as a doppelganger account? Willking1979 (talk) 19:53, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

yes it will be a doppelganger account My brother wants to create anccount but he wants to use Dcheagels for his user name and i dont want that so i would like to great this account to keep him from doing. I just dont want edits to be confused between mine and his account. I will try the links you have giving me.--Dcheagle (talk) 20:00, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok ive created the account thank you for the help that you have giveing me have a nice day.--Dcheagle (talk) 20:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Also, I corrected the doppelganger wikilink above. :) Willking1979 (talk) 20:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

User:MarkLevin7

Just FYI, this account, which you created today, triggered an autoblock. I've lifted the autoblock, assuming in good faith that you believe this user should have an account. But you might want to take a look just to be on the safe side. Mangojuice^talk 18:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I looked at it earlier today and emailed the blocking admin about the situation. While I had concerns about this account, I went ahead, AGF'd, and created the account. I will monitor the account very closely. Willking1979 (talk) 18:52, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

FYI this user turned out to be the same returning vandal. Mangojuice^talk 05:21, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I noticed...I had the user page and the talk page listed on my watchlist. My concerns turned out to be true. Willking1979 (talk) 09:38, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your help! Now I can continue reverting edits! RuneScape Adventure (talk) 00:32, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 00:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

That voodoo that you do

Hey friend. Could you use your shiny, new, mystic admin powers to move Simon Bolivar Buckner, Sr. to Simon Bolivar Buckner per a comment at the bottom of this FAC? The only disambiguation is to Buckner's son, which can be accomplished with a hatnote. Thanks. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 11:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

 Done. My shiny new powers still have the new mop smell. :) Willking1979 (talk) 12:32, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Gracias, amigo.' Always nice to have access to an admin for stuff like this. Keeps me from having to go through that baptism by fire myself. I'll just stick to writing articles. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 14:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

WWE Bragging Rights

Hey can i get you to protect a page for me its WWE Bragging Rights Vandles are driving me crazy.--Dcheagle (talk) 12:36, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

 Done. Protected for 6 weeks. Willking1979 (talk) 12:40, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks--Dcheagle (talk) 12:47, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 12:54, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Blocking user:Ignition IM

I'm not sure that ORGNAME encourages blocking new users the day they create an account, before they've caused any trouble, and without a warning. At any rate, this user had good intent, and created that userpage as part of filling out a strategic planning application. (if you look closely he's not advertising his services, he is offering what he knows how to do to help wikipedia.) Please unblock and suggest he get his account renamed. +sj+ 06:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

The way I saw the wording, it did appear that it was an advertisement. It was tagged as an ad (CSD G11) by Triplestop (talk · contribs) and I immediately deleted it. In my block message (as in all messages of that type), I did encourage that if he/she wanted wanted to change their username, they can post an unblock message stating so. If the user is indeed using this as an application, I will very strongly consider unblocking him/her. Have you been in contact with this user by email or has the user emailed OTRS about this? Willking1979 (talk) 09:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the unblock

I appreciate it!--Hi540 (talk) 12:35, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 12:40, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Protecting titles

Re Paola Rey (pornographic actress): where have you been for the last (I'm not sure but it must be at least 18 months)? We do not use {{pp-create}} to prevent article creation - see this: "it's not used to slap on a page by creating it and protecting it, but rather as the explanation for the new creation-protection system". It is now possible to protect a title which has no article. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 15:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I was not aware about that. My apologies...I have been an admin for the past couple weeks or so. Willking1979 (talk) 15:28, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

"Knit" picking

Take a look at the article history on Murray State University. In particular, notice how may times in the past few months IPs have added a notation to President Dunn's name that indicates that he "likes to knit". I don't know what kind of lunacy hatched the goofy crusade to add this piece of trivia, although as an alum, I can imagine a few scenarios! Anyway, reverting it is getting kind of annoying, but I don't really know what to do, since the edits come from varied IPs. Is semi-protection in order? Is there anything else we can do? Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 18:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Judging by the IP edits, I believe it is better to semi-protect the page due to the varying nature of the IP addresses, some of which belong to Murray State. I will go ahead and semi-protect the page for one month. After the one month protection, if the edits resume, I may have to start a sockpuppetry case or protect the page even longer. Willking1979 (talk) 18:54, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, dude. That's why they let you wield the big stick. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 19:55, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 20:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Deleted category

Would it be possible for you to merge the edit histories of a category and its talk page that you deleted with their replacements? An editor created Category:Sverige class coastal defence ships and then populated it while emptying Category:Sverige class coastal defense ships (the one you properly deleted) out of process. I have retagged the present category for two wikiprojects, but if you could also examine the deleted category talk page to ensure that there were no other WP tags, that would be most appreciated. Thanks. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

In addition to the two WikiProject tags in both versions, a WikiProject Sweden tag was also included in the deleted version. You may want to include that in the current version as well. Willking1979 (talk) 22:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that bit of information, but are you able to do the history merge? — Bellhalla (talk) 10:46, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I could not find a move tab on the category page... I tried undeleting and redeleting the page, but cannot move the page. Willking1979 (talk) 11:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

OK, well thanks for trying. Cheers. — Bellhalla (talk) 14:02, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Cheers to you too. :) Willking1979 (talk) 14:03, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Again.

Thanks again for helping me! I have a question, I already got an IP Address. Why do I have to do it again? I thought it would last for the like history for this user. Thanks again! RuneScape Adventure 01:17, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure...could be collateral damage. Next time it happens, consider requesting an IP block exemption. More information about this can be found here. Willking1979 (talk) 01:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! That helps a lot, but do you have to follow directions in that IP block exemption article? RuneScape Adventure 01:29, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes...you must follow the instructions listed in the article next time you are autoblocked. IP block exemptions are given to those who have been trusted not to abuse the exemption. Willking1979 (talk) 01:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Warnings

Hi. I was issued with a couple of warnings in error by the users Ertemplin and Runescape Adventure. The latter has suggested that I contact you to have them reverted. I tried to revert them myself by deleting the text from my talk page, but I'm not at all sure that that's the right way to do it... Help please? Clicriffhard (talk) 00:15, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I believe you did the right thing by removing the text. If you need any further help, leave me a message. Thanks, Willking1979 (talk) 00:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Will.Clicriffhard (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank-you

Thanks for reverting the recent vandalism to my user page. Jerry delusional ¤ kangaroo 01:23, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 01:36, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert on my user page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:07, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 09:13, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: Thanks again. =) I have no idea who that is, which I find kind of funny. Just one of the hundreds (thousands?) of vandals that I've blocked. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

This may be a clue to who this vandal really was. Willking1979 (talk) 20:44, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Unresolved mediation

I noticed that on 24 September you deleted User:Matheuler following his request and would like to ask your advice. He had kindly offered to mediate an ongoing edit problem that I thought was resolved, but now it's returned and we need help. When you have time, would you please take a look at Talk:Donghu and give me your opinion? Should I request help from another mediator or administrator? Thanks. Keahapana (talk) 20:40, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure what happened to Matheuler...he has not edited since September 23. I simply noticed that his userspace pages were on the speedy deletion list and went ahead and deleted them. Although I do have a history degree, my personal strength is in US history. While I appreciate you asking me for assistance, in my view you should ask an experienced mediator and/or administrator to resolve this case. Thanks for all you do, Willking1979 (talk) 20:53, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll follow your advice. Keahapana (talk) 00:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
