Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! Danski454 (talk) 18:32, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for the work you have put into dealing with Kevin Overstreet's self-promotion and sockpuppetry. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:45, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the blocks, JamesBWatson. Cheers, 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 14:50, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You did a mistake on chakradharpur Wikipedia

Please update my information Chakradharpur (talk) 06:59, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I don't think so. The next time you add unsourced content or otherwise vandalize a page on Wikipedia, I'll request your account be blocked. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 07:08, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll be happy to do so. Drmies (talk) 01:31, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mistaken block

Please accept my humblest apologies - I saw an IP reverting a named editor a number of times, asssumed the worse, acted in haste. Now unblocked. Giant Snowman 07:37, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Will you please restore my edits? This has been upsetting. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 07:39, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, already self-reverted. Apologies again. Giant Snowman 07:39, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. What a mess, accelerated by a sock. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 07:45, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this has been an interesting morning. If you'd like a decent giggle, Drmies, have a look at my edit history. JJMC89, thanks for helping out at the beginning [1]. Night. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 07:54, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A gay bomb? Drmies (talk) 20:25, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Not that so much, Drmies, as the circumstances that led to the mistaken block in the middle of the night. A hellacious crossfire, wherein I was reverting two disruptive accounts and getting harassed by both simultaneously, and had my reports at AIV and ANI repeatedly deleted. Then my reversions of vandalism were temporarily undone in the few minutes when I was blocked. The whole scene was Kafkaesque, by Wiki standards. My hair was on fire, but lucky for me I don't have that much hair to burn anymore, anyway. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:32, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, an admirable show of restraint not to block this user [2]. Though I wouldn't have minded 24 hours of cooling to give them time to actually read the guidelines. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:34, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - I know, I saw. I reverted them. They will be blocked next time, and I would have blocked had I seen it. I didn't see Bailo26 careless revert; I suppose they didn't have anything to say. But who was the sock that got you blocked? Drmies (talk) 01:04, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Drmies, the sock was Bluexander (talk · contribs); have a look at that edit history prior to their block. At the same time, I was also getting flak from Chakradharpur (talk · contribs). I think it was the worst shitstorm I've walked into in a dozen years. Not counting the time I uncovered that admin who created the thousands of puerile redirects--when I reported it at ANI, one of the conspiracy-minded regulars suggested that I'd framed them. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:24, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - Oh I remember that admin, yes. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:28, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Colleyville Heritage High School

John from Idegon, this was pared last year by Drmies, and I just cut further. I suspect you'd be a lot less gentle still, and I wouldn't blame you. Have a look if you have the time and inclination. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:29, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	You are living proof that not all anonymous editors are unconstructive. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:22, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You think? Thank you, Walter Görlitz, and good catch on the serial vandalism. That sort of disruption of articles on children's movies and tv shows comprises a sizeable subset of destructive editing. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:26, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the Jim Acosta edit. Drmies (talk) 04:21, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- But of course, Drmies. It's a little disappointing to grow older, and realize there's still so much stupid out there, and it's not going away any time soon. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:39, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ugh. At least we still have beer. I like beer. Don't you like beer? We drink beer. I drink beer. I may have puked but I have a weak stomach. I can't eat spicy food. But I drink beer. Drmies (talk) 04:43, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ugh indeed. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 13:59, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

High End Systems

I've done some cutting of promotional content here. Probably a lot more can be pared. JJMC89, Melcous or other top-notch talk stalkers, have a look if so inclined. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:05, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

St. Pius X High School (Houston)

While we're at it, some more eyes here will be appreciated. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:24, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ford O'Connell

Drmies, Melcous, this could benefit from your attentions. I've removed a few external links, and more remain. This isn't the most egregious autobiography, but it has apparently been overseen by COI accounts for years, so further clean up and watchlisting are in order. Thanks and happy weekend, 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 14:00, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, JJMC89. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:39, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- And you, Drmies. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:15, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - JJMC did the heavy lifting. For shits and giggles, see Stephen Ibaraki. Drmies (talk) 21:43, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Good lord. Couldn't that be nominated for speedy as purely promotional? 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - Sent it back to Drmies last version. — JJMC89 (T·C) 00:27, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DO2dTUN

In current form, how much, if any of this, is salvageable? 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:23, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the observation, So sorry about that. Actually, I am still working on being a better editor. I think I have a good understanding of what is promotionional content on Do2dtun. I wish to fix it too, what do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olakunle Rufai (talk • contribs) 19:41, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is a car wreck--I don't think you can fix it. Almost the entire article is promotional in tone, and it always has been. Your edits this year just made a bad situation a bit worse, so I'm hoping to get a few uninvolved veteran editors to look at this and offer assistance. Thank you, 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:44, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no problem. would look forward to seeing the changes so I can learn a few things. Thanks again. --Olakunle Rufai (talk) 19:59, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For starters, all the content you added and sourced to TribesNG is dubious--that's not a WP:RELIABLE source, and it looks like a mirror of Wikipedia. As I mentioned, you must divulge if you have a conflict of interest with any of the subjects you're writing about. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:43, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ranveer Singh

Oshwah, Drmies, page protection noticeboard is locked. This needs a stronger protection level. Thanks, 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:33, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Drmies. I'm sick this week, spending much of the afternoon writing an article for publication. On my back. It's a decent way to kill time. Then I get up, shuffle to the desktop and see what's shaking here. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:00, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Take care of yourself. I hope you have bourbon in arm's reach. Drmies (talk) 02:56, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh yeah. Drained the bottle today on hot toddies. Mrs. 99, as we refer to her here, knows how to make them. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:17, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - And look at you, getting all helpful in my old neighborhood [3]. Good call, but it almost begs separate sections on his relationships w. Manet and Whistler--the latter was really interesting, if more peripheral. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:26, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Every time the wind blows too hard here

I return to my desktop to find i have a new IP. So it is today. 2601:188:180:1481:7868:6144:7C5D:484A (talk) 21:02, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Port Perry High School, and a question re: copyright

Before I start cleaning this up, can someone tell me if it's a copyright violation of [4], or if the Wiki article content pre-dates the school website. Thanks, 2601:188:180:1481:7868:6144:7C5D:484A (talk) 03:09, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
