Razzinator socking and also violating block evasion
Razzinator (talk · contribs), socking with IP to avoid block and violate block evasion during block you gave the user. I blocked the IP User:68.118.199.90 and tagged, but perhaps you could take a look, and extend the block on the main account Razzinator for block evasion and socking? Cirt (talk) 22:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I blocked Razzinator indef, turns out the account is a sock of already indef blocked Onelifefreak2007 (talk · contribs). Cirt (talk) 08:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yep, well handled. GDonato (talk) 13:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
That was over 18 months ago. I'd like to review it to see if semiprotection is still considered necessary. See talk:renewable energy. --TS 11:30, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

- Erm, wrong person? :) GDonato (talk) 16:18, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- My apologies. I get this problem when I try to warn a particularly bad edit for the last time, Unfortunately, you had reverted the edits before I could warn the vandal, and so you got it instead... Sorry... Rkr1991 (Wanna chat?) 04:42, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Blocking problem?
Hi. You blocked User:208.49.40.13 for 24 hours for vandalism. It looks like this editor made a further 2 vandalistic edits (which I've reverted) four minutes after the block. andy (talk) 16:34, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- They were one day and four minutes after, confused me for a moment too :) GDonato (talk) 20:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, yes! But meanwhile he's at it again, on Toy andy (talk) 00:18, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Quick Seven (user recovery)
If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected biographies of living persons violation, I will userfy the article for you.
Note that using the text to recreate any deleted article may automatically qualify them for speedy deletion, and copies of previously deleted content that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion because Wikipedia is not a free web host. We have a list of alternative sites which may be used to host your content.
Subject Page: Quick Seven
I hope you can help me with the recovery of my Quick Seven text. I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
-Larry (issue78)

where was the need to stop me and a friend having a quick laugh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamtheswales (talk • contribs) 23:55, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, unfortunately your "quick laugh" is not appropriate for the site. In addition as the content appeared to be derogatory and/or offensive you were issued with a warning, if you are genuinely interested in creating an article see WP:FIRST but continuing to recreate that page will lead to loss of editing privileges. Best regards, GDonato (talk) 00:00, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
RE: Vandalism
Um I didn't vandalize anything. If anything got deleted then it must have been a mistake. Let me know what page that was on but I did not vandalize anything. Thank you. (Rwhollywoodfan (talk) 17:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC))
- I think there might be a misunderstanding; I haven't accused you of anything, as far as I can tell you've done nothing wrong at all! :) GDonato (talk) 19:44, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Oh ok thank you sorry i just saw your name and a weird message. must have been a mistake. thanks again (Rwhollywoodfan (talk) 19:25, 3 April 2010 (UTC))
