Edit Counter

I am not very handy with computer stuff so when I found this simple edit counter on another users page I wanted to add it to mine to make it easier to find my count. http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tangotango/editcount.php MarnetteD | Talk 16:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No bother whatsoever

The MO of that anon vandal seems similar to Bambifan, but that IP resolves to Michigan. Bambi does the majority of his nonsense from Alabama. However, if you even so much as think you smell this guy, please let me know. His destruction and damage is nearly incaluculable. Thanks for letting me know and believe me, asking about something like this is not a bother. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You bet; it was a pleasure hearing from you. You may find this page helpful in regards to Bambifan. The precious little darling has his very own long-term abuse page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:51, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for updating me on the sockpuppet news. I think it's quite easy to get it wrong sometimes, but you definitely handled it in the right way. Keep up the good work, Bretonbanquet (talk) 13:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks also for your update on this subject. Like another editor said to you, "No bother whatsoever." There is more I would like to detail, but not here; suffice to say I believe you nailed it correctly. Have a good one, MarnetteD. Prhartcom (talk) 01:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sock

Thanks for your note about the return of our sock to the George Harrison article. So he's a UCLA student. I'm glad Rodhullandemu removed the link from music fans [1], as our sock added that several weeks ago and I've been meaning to remove it (that was the one single edit the sock added that wasn't immediately reverted). And I'm glad you removed the link to the other list. [2]

As for how to proceed, I suggest a very boring approach:

No interaction. I didn't sign up for this business of interacting with a mentally challenged person. I'm finished interacting with him—It's sometimes dangerous and always pointless.
No discussion. Making it a drama on the talk pages and edit summaries has become old. We can just refer back to the Sock Puppet section on the article's talk page.
No edits. Nothing he adds or deletes must stand. He's hopelessly incompetent. Revert it. The edit summary could always say the same thing, i.e. "Reverting sock puppet, see talk page."
Tag him. Put the sock puppet tag on his newest user page. The list of all his usernames will remain complete.

There's always the chance that we'll misidentify him (I was right there with you on that last guy; same M.O., right up to the end when it no longer sounded like him) but I suppose we have no other choice. The only other thing I would add is to possibly reopen the sock puppet investigation. Prhartcom (talk) 16:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re. the new user: We'll tag him later if more evidence arises. Prhartcom (talk) 15:35, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"UK does not do miniseries"

Re this, actually, just to complicate matters, UK TV does have miniseries, but the definition is not as clear cut as in the US! The average network season of, say, House will have 22 episodes filmed from August to March, with the filming of later episodes overlapping with the broadcast of early ones. On the other hand, a miniseries, like The Pacific, will have a shorter run of ten episodes, all filmed and edited entirely before broadcast. Compare this to UK TV, where a returning series (like *shudder* My Family) will often have only six or eight episodes per season/series, which are all filmed and edited before broadcast. "Miniseries" is generally used here either as a comparitive term (the third series of Torchwood was only five episodes long compared to the usual 13, so was a "miniseries" (that was also a serial!)), or as a glossy phrase by Me Too media publications trying to show off how UK TV is equal to or better than US TV. Short-run series/serials (like costume dramas) of only three or four episodes will often by referred to as miniseries, so people don't confuse them with returning series. There's a good chapter in a book about this but I can't remember the name or author! I'll have a look on Google Books for it and post a link for you here if I find it.

I smell venison...

The last couple of Bambifan socks were rather cleverly disguised and I think this may well be one of them. I'm going to block the account, but I'll leave the talk page open just in case. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:50, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
