Your user name

LOL. Bearian (talk) 13:42, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have the best username on wikipedia. Bravo!--Karljoos (talk) 22:57, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; I'm glad you both got a kick out of it. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 21:46, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there! I came to user page solely because I found your name a very funny and interesting one... Keep up the good sense of humour!!! Ho ho ho And a very Merry Christmas to you!... La Alquim ista 12:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Also pretty epic that I'm the fourth one to comment on this xD "Reverted edit to last edit by Some jerk on the Internet" well that's not very... wait o.O GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 09:42, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Epic username, made me laugh when I saw "Reverted edits by x to last revision by Some jerk on the Internet" The Thing // Talk // Contribs 19:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 19:58, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There should be a barnstar for this =-) Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please...you'll have me blushing! Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 17:29, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I too am only here because I saw your wonderful name on a revision, and had to click through to your user page. PerryTachett (talk) 22:50, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. This was hilarious! Too bad you can't de-cap the first letter so it'd look more natural. --Illythr (talk) 00:51, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah; a lower-case 'S' would be much better. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 00:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can change your signature at least so that it appears lowercase. Enter it as you like it at Special:Preferences. No way to do it in revision history as far as I know. postdlf (talk) 00:54, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. Much better. some jerk on the Internet (talk) 00:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

oh jeez that's a good username. An IP called me that recently, but I see you've solved that problem for yourself. BTW, you can change it all the way at WP:RENAME. cheers, The Interior (Talk) 01:00, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have the single most awesome username on all of Wikipedia. Ozob (talk) 00:01, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto everyone else. Rollbacks with your user name in them are priceless. Millahnna (talk) 08:23, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

lol Spin off 12:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May I further recommend that you add parentheses to your signature? Example:

This article is crap. (some jerk on the Internet) (talk) 00:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then it will be perfect. postdlf (talk) 17:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From one funny username to another: Cheers! (and LOL!) —DoRD (talk) 02:43, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great username for regulars but might deter new contributors who mess up articles in good faith (yeah, I know, but that's still a popular hypothesis around here). How about making it look a bit more like a signature—rather than regular text—when you use it in level 1 warnings? You'd still get the w-t-f? effect in edit histories. - Pointillist (talk) 23:37, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How's this? Any better? It's first stab at setting up a signature with markup, so it may need some tweaking. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 18:36, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

nope. gets lost in the message. How about this? --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 18:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let me add my name to the chorus --and beware of the over-serious brigade that things that humor of this sort is in bad taste. It's is they who are the bad tasters! LOL. --Bobak (talk) 17:26, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent reference additions

You recently added references to Uptown Consignment which are linked from http://proquest.umi.com. When I attempt to access these links, I receive a denial notice (you are not authorized on this server). Is this a private server to which only certain users have access? If so, the link should not be included as a reference (although the reference is still valid, as it gives sufficient detail for a user to find the article if they have the desire to do so). WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:18, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've been wondering about how best to handle this, actually. I accessed the two articles through a library database. I provided the Proquest url because that's what MLA (6th edition anyway) calls for, and with the hopes that if another user attempted to follow the link, and happened to have access to the same database, would be taken, if not to the articles themselves, at least to a point where they could search for them. Is there a protocol on WP for indicating that articles were accessed through subscription databases, and not via the open web? Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 01:41, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't necessary. While it is desirable to have references online, it isn't necessary. The fact that you could verify that the article was published in a certain publication on a certain date means others can verify it to -- if only by going to the Hartford library and searching their archives.

Rollback

Why don't you request rollback? Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:01, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I'd never considered myself to be editing at a level that would warrant it, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for the suggestion. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 21:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think your request will succeed because you have a lot of vandalism reverts lately. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback and reviewer granted

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've also given you reviewer rights; see WP:REVIEWER and Help:Pending changes for more information. Regards, Dabomb87 (talk) 00:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much. I shall endeavor always to use them on behalf of the forces of good. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 18:33, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you try Huggle? Wayne Olajuwon chat 20:05, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't download to the computer I do most editing on, or I'd try it. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 20:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You should try to download Huggle at WP:Huggle/Download. Wayne Olajuwon chat 20:49, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You could try Igloo, it runs right from your browser. Allmightyduck  What did I do wrong? 17:40, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip; I'll look into it. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 17:42, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Igloo works well, but it will only work with Firfox or Chrome. I've been using Lupin's Anti-vandal tool at work, so you might give that a go. --TwistOfCain ^(talk) 19:37, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Emerald

Hello, I think there's a bit of a mixup. I was fixing vandalism, not creating it. 12.34.39.3 (talk) 19:56, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sorry about that. I clicked a little too quickly. When I saw what had happened, I backed off to let you finish what you were working on. Sorry again. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 19:57, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Small mistake

Hey mate, just to let you know, the recent revision you approved on the 2010 Formula One season page was actually some vandal replacing the table headers with some bogus information. A casual glance does make it look like a legit edit, so you might one to look a tad more carefully next time. Anyway no worries, I've made plenty of mistakes :) P.S. Nice Username ;) QueenCake (talk) 18:38, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. Thanks for catching it. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 18:42, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

quit being such a jerk WookieInHeat (talk) 02:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

False vandalism warning

You rollback of my edit here, was not the best. If you would have inspected the edit, you would have seen that the template had been forked, due to incorrect navbar links in the navbox header. I was reversing the fork, and correcting the links. I have reverted your rollback. Thanks! 134.253.26.12 (talk) 21:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my recent edit of the Take That Progress page not constructive? Thanks. Robintetley (talk) 22:25, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies; I must be experiencing some lag, because neither of those reverts were intended. Time to call it a day. some jerk on the Internet (talk) 22:30, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

False positive

The revert on TV2 (Malaysia) was a false positive, check it--182.53.48.177 (talk) 16:53, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You for help -6jpn850 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.53.48.177 (talk) 17:12, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no vandalism, please leave the info i added

The info i added is totally correct and is from a recent book titled Ed Koch And The Rebuilding of New York City by Jonathan Soffer. The book is about his term as mayor, during which the eleanor bumpurs incident occurred. I don't know how to reference books so that's why i didn't use a ref but the info is definitely correct, it's in the book. Please leave it as is, Thanks

Rollback of holocaust page edit

My edit was not vandalism and had been discussed on the disc page before I made it. Joel Mc (talk) 20:55, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep up the good work!

		The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		I've noticed that you've beat me to reverting vandalism several times this evening. This implies that you're doing a fair amount of vandalism patrol. Thus, in conclusion, you deserve a barnstar! :D Sophus Bie ^(talk) 01:26, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Igloo

How's Igloo? WAYNEOLAJUWON 01:51, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's working well for me. Every now and then I get some lag issues and have to close out for a spell, but overall I like it quite a bit. some jerk on the Internet (talk) 01:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good humor

		The Barnstar of Good Humor
		I award you this barnstar only in good-humor, after seeing how many times someone had to revert to your revision after your reverts. :\| TelCo NaSp Ve :\| 00:01, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow!

Igloo better than Twinkle?Cracked acorns (talk) 16:57, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've never used Twinkle, so I couldn't say. I've had really good luck with Igloo, however. In any event, it seems that none, or at least very few, are better than ClueBot NG -some jerk on the Internet (talk) 18:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Level 4im vandalism warnings

Hey there! I've just deleted 92.30.52.204 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)'s edits as they were grossly offensive. Just to let you know, when it's an edit like that, you can jump straight in with substing {{uw-vandalism4im}} rather than starting at level 1. Additionally, you might consider finding an admin to remove grossly offensive comments, as it was luck that I came across it (I watchlist one of the other articles they hit). I'm not actually sure whether that sort of thing goes to WP:ANI, but I can't see any harm. Ged UK 10:52, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

I like it. In fact, I've referred to you by name many times over the years, without realizing it was you. You do get around. Herostratus (talk) 16:42, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Admiral Ackbar

Why did you change my edit to the Admiral Ackbar page? It's as if you thought there was more to Ackbar than "IT'S A TRAP!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meow12345 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

77.98.140.22

Ok, I will stop now, but why the fuck is every edit i make restricted!!!!!! its like im a parrot in a cage. all constructive edits but everytime. RESTRICTED. I mean WTF, its silly. I find now that wikipedia has become too strict to become usable and editable. So i decided to take it out on wikipedia entrys.

I can only speak for the edit that I reverted, which I do not consider constructive. If you have constructive edits to make, I encourage you to do so, but further edits like that one are sure to be reverted, and could cause you to be blocked from editing. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 19:59, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. A few weeks ago I was vandalizing Wikipedia when you kindly warned me not to. In addition to not listening to you I also vandalized your userpage. I just wanted to offer you my sincerest apologies and hope that you can forgive me. Beenrunman (talk) 20:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apology accepted. I hope you'll continue to make constructive edits in the future. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 20:31, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
