Trolling?

I'm very upset that people would call another editor a troll here. You aren't the first person who this has happened to and you won't be the last, either. When new users try and take on larger roles, they get called names and most of them, unfortunately leave the project. Best, Electriccatfish2 (talk) 10:59, 16 July 2012 (UTC).

It's ironic that the people who show up here to call him a troll are themselves trolls. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:11, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

As a minor point of information, what's wrong with being a Troll. Unless it is linked to appearance, it hardly seems pejorative. In any event, I come from the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and we have a whole population that are colloquially called "trolls" because they 'live beneath the bridge. In any event, it just seems to be a term that is loosely used in Wikipedia to describe someone who is a lurker, that is sees what is happening on a page, but doesn't ordinarily intervene. Like me. But I digress. Happy editing to you all. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:45, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks guys for making the point I am not a troll and that EggCentric and co. clearly are by basically harassing and bullying people away from Wikipedia. I'm sure you agree that something needs to be done with people who attack new users. Kindest thanks for your help! TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 16:58, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

(Personal attack removed)

 Comment: Warned 94.2.68.11 for personal attacks (this one and the one that TIW reverted) on their talk. Theopolisme TALK 17:25, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

TIW Please see Wikipedia:User pages you are free to remove or revert any comment that you do not like from your talk pages. Please ignore the editors who are trying to discourage you. Please keep your cool, and the harassers will be blocked if they dont mend their ways. regards--DBigXray 18:25, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

Hi TheIrishWarden. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Calmer Waters 13:49, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

ANI Notice

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Theopolisme _{TALK 17:39, 16 July 2012 (UTC)}

Page Protection

I've semi-protected your talk page temporarily for 1 month to assist with the harassment you're receiving. Let me know if you do not want it, no longer need it, or need it extended.--v/r - TP 17:41, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Have a beer. ignore the trolls, eventually they get bored and leave. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:48, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Nothing of consequence

If you were not amused, it's your page, and you get to do with it what you want. Cheers! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:24, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

A beer for you!

To moving on with you work here, and ignoring the rest :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 22:51, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi! First, I would recommend trying out rollback at the NAS. Also, another thing that rollbackers can do is help out at Special: ArticleFeedbackv5. After you try out rollback, I'll show you what to do there. Best, Electriccatfish2 (talk) 22:51, 16 July 2012 (UTC).

I certainly won't be signing a bear any time soon! TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 14:43, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

NPP

Are you a new page patroller? Electriccatfish2 (talk) 12:18, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

No, I've been on the listings page for New pages and tried and played around but I don't know how to do it. Any help? TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 13:17, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

The plot thickens

Hi,

I stumbled across your page when I reverted some vandalism on it a few days ago. This coincided with what looks like some massive dispute between you (a fairly new user I see) and several established editors, (e.g user:Egg Centric, user:Gareth Griffith-Jones) as well as some anons, ultimately resulting in unacceptable trolling/harassment.

I see your talk page has been protected to prevent this, which is a shame as many other anonymous editors cannot speak directly to you if they have an issue. I also thought the quick arrival of the hounding trolls was a little suspciious so I did some digging...

user:Gareth Griffith-Jones made these two edits [1] [2] to an IP's talk page, both of which contained the phrase "There is no place for "TheIrishWarden" on wikipedia".

This was the same phrase (or very similar at least) used by two of the troll ips when they attacked your talk page. See [3], [4].

Of course, I may be way off the mark, but if you want to do something about this I'll leave the matter in your hands. If you'd rather forget about the whole incident and move on instead then that's your call. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 17:39, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Just for the record, I've mentioned this in the AN/I Case. Theopolisme _{TALK 18:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)}

unfortunately it was protected but that was due to persistant harassment by a few IP addresses. User suggested protection to protect myself from these edits. These random IP's sounds very dodgy. TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 18:16, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

that is very interesting indeed, I did think these random IP's were a bit dodgy. What do you think of it? TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 18:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Personally I have no idea what to make of it. You could start an SPI if you thought it might help. Then again it may not tell us anything. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 18:15, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Would you support me if I filed an SPI case? I may get in more trouble if I go on solo. TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 18:17, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Maybe it would be better too see what others say on ANI. Thanks for the info. TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 18:20, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Like I say, it's your call. I can't see how that would land you in trouble though. If anyone did complain just direct them here :) C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 18:22, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
