No problem. By the way, I think you should put some images on the history section of the article. I've already search some free images on Flickr yesterday but didn't found any free related images. — иz нίpнόp ʜᴇʟᴘ! 15:38, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I am still learning the basics of the wiki language, so I may not know how to insert images. LOL. And, I am unable to edit Wikipedia from 14 dec onwards for about 1wk +. Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 15:42, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Going for tour with my parents. And usually I have to study, so might not have much time to edit Wikipedia. Next year, I have to take PSLE as well. If you don't know what it is, it is the national exam for going-to-graduate primary school students. Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 23:29, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That sandbox edit

Just FYI, I was testing to see if a bug editing anonymously using the API that I was seeing over on Wikia was also happening here -- it's not. You did confuse me a bit when it wasn't there until I thought to look at the history though, and for that, I trout you.

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Unjustified revert

Explanation please? Would you please preventively also prove that the statements you reverted were false? Thanks for your help. --grin 10:58, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I recently declined your tagging with WP:G1 because the criteria is not eligible for the article. G1 (patent nonsense) only applies if the article is gibberish and has no meaningful history (e.g. "sjmdv Marcjsfdhvmamamama Lalalnmm"). In short, if you can understand it, G1 does not apply. Please see WP:CSD or WP:G1 for more info. Have a nice day :) Mediran talk to me! 09:32, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

America's Next Top Model

Hi, there seems to have been a mistake made in this edit. I was removing obvious hoax info: note the dates go up to 2052! There has been a lot of vandalism on that page, but I was actually reverting it, not adding to it. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 12:57, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not referring to that. IP editor inserted true info of Singapore beating the Thais in the 2012 Final, although he probably forgot abt the 2007 Final.[[1]] Yet you deleted it instead of adding another sentence for either the 2007 or 2012 Final.

I was reverting vandalism, his first edit triggered the blacklist log, it is not my fault the editor a) decided to trigger it in the first place, and b) s/he didn't provide a reliable source (for either 2007 and/or 2012).

CVU

Hey Arctic Kangaroo! You may now visit your own academy page for the WP:CVU training! Thanks! :) Mediran (tc) 13:32, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Off we go!

Are you ready for the next task? If yes (and I know that it is yes), come on now at User:Mediran/CVUA/Arctic Kangaroo for your next assignment. Thanks! :) Mediran (tc) 01:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Arctic Kangaroo, you still need to find 2 good faith edits to move on to the next task. I see that you already have experienced on reporting users to AIV. That's good, now you will have prior knowledge to our future tasks. Thanks! Mediran (tc) 05:54, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since I started becoming active in late November, I have been trying hard to extinguish vandalism in Wikipedia. I wanted to go through this course so that I can get the real meaning of vandalism, learn how to differentiate good-faith edits and vandalism. Basically, just to learn more about anti-vandalism and vandalism on Wikipedia to have a better understanding of them and how to handle vandalism. :) Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 06:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't get it. So you want to abort the course? Mediran (tc) 11:40, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, not that. I am continuing with the course, just that I am saying that I want to learn more about and have a full understanding of anything related to vandalism on Wikipedia, which is what CVUA is all about. So, just feel free to teach me whatever is in the syllabus. Cheers, Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 11:44, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh... silly me. Your next task will be coming soon! Mediran (tc) 11:57, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your next task is ready. I will be going offline now. It's getting late here and I have errands tomorrow morning 'till afternoon thus, I will continue to give you task tomorrow (I guess at the evening). Keep up the good work. Mediran (tc) 13:05, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Arctic Kangaroo!!!! Hey Hey hey. First of all, thanks for that response in my talk page regarding an issue. Anyways, what you're going to do with the task with the table is that...
  • Put the diff of your reversion at the column "Diff of edit"
  • Put the diff of your report at AIV if there are some at the column "Your comment (optional)"
Note that at least two reverts and also at least two reports at AIV. Use Twinkle for easier reporting. Thanks! Mediran (tc) 00:30, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal nomination

You have entered an incomplete nomination at AIV relating to an alleged IP vandal. Your nomination suggests that the editor in question is using multiple IPs, and I agree that it is important to stop this type of vandalism. But without either a complete IP address or any indication as to which article(s) is vandalised we cannot do much. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:22, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Superman: The Legend

Hi there. Just so you know, while you definitely had grounds to revert this edit, it was not vandalism. Twinkle gives you three options, so you should only press the "rollback (VANDALISM)" button for clear-cut cases. Not that your help is at all unappreciated!

Doubt

Even tough you have a banner in your page that states your (very) busy status, i can't help but notice you have replied to pretty much every message in your talkpage, but i was not "fortunate" enough in that department (regarding the User:Banana Fingers incident), on two occasions.

Is there anything i have not done properly in recent times or in the far past towards you, or something in my overall site manners you do not appreciate? If so, i sincerely apologize, keep it up from Portugal - --AL (talk) 08:42, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, you have never offended me in anyway, and your site manners are OK. You can retract the apology, and I apologize for not replying, as I usually reply to whichever I feel necessary. Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 09:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

January 2013 - UAAP Page

Hello. I did not make any disruptive editing. What I merely did was to replace the table included in the Women's Tournament with the template itself. I did so because it is easier to edit. As such, you won't have to edit both the page and the template itself. You can't block me for that. Besides, I know what I'm doing in the UAAP pages. I contribute to these pages every year. I appreciate your concern but I did not blank them in any way. If you have questions or anything, feel free to drop by my talk page. Thank you. Voncabriga 22:33, 6 January 2013

In response to your question at AIV, users who don't vandalize, don't have an inappropriate username, but repeatedly advertize ... you can warn them with {{uw-advert1}} through {{uw-advert4}} and then report them to AIV if they continue past the final warning.

Why have you taken the modifications to the university of manchester students' union page offline

Hi,

Why does the changes to the unviersity of manchester students' union page constitute vandalism. Nealy ALL of the information is out of date on the current page. If you took the time to research this you could find that out easily. If you want wikipedia to be kept up to date, why delete up to date information?Holmes194 (talk) 15:58, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

University of Manchester Students' Union

How do my edits constitute vandalism when they are all up to date and correct? You have committed vandalism by taking all that information off. Try clicking on the citations at the bottom and you will realise that all of the links are broken.

The Michael L. Baird article is badly written. It reads like a resume, and contains a large amount of irrelevant info. That's why I modified the article. 71.251.39.105 (talk) 03:50, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concerns over the way the article is written, but the info that you deleted talks about the person's career (or something like that), which is relevant as it is a biography of a living person. Perhaps, you can try to rephrase those info into a more encyclopedic manner. Cheers! Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 03:55, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Singaporean by-election, 2013. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2013 Singapore by-election. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2013 Singapore by-election – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. –HTD 18:23, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your removal of COI declaration on Profero

Hi - I notice you remove a COI declaration being made by the user who created the Profero article. Your note said you removed it as being "inappropriate". Can I ask on what grounds you removed it? I would have thought disclosing COI is entirely appropriate in this case. Thanks. --gilgongo (talk) 20:27, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Need to be in touch with you

Hi, I need to be in touch with you as you made a page that need current information. Dbfcuba. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbfcuba (talkcontribs) 11:25, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, will be glad to discuss it with you. But first, I don't get your message. In the future, please also place new messages at the bottom of any talk page. Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 11:33, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry ! :)

Don't worry my friend, I won't go too long, there's still many work need to do on this Wiki. Yeah, I would be back once the problem has been settled. :) — иz нίpнόp ʜᴇʟᴘ! 20:02, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I worried, because you have great contributions to articles like the Sabah-related ones (although I have not really looked at them yet), but not 100%. I knew that you would definitely come back to Wikipedia, looking at all the last-minute info addition and decorating of your user page before you "retired". :P Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 15:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WVIT

There is no edit war in regards to this article. I had removed miscellaneous, non-notable material from the article more than two weeks ago, and simply reverted after it returned. This warning is unwarranted. Other Side One (talk) 08:32, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean is, that was just extra info about WVIT. So, what about discussing the matter with the other editors who object your edit on the article's talk page? Wikipedia is about consensus after all. Cheers and happy editing! Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 08:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
From what I have seen, the issue was already discussed at WT:TVS, and the consensus was/is against it. Other Side One (talk) 08:42, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Possible to show me the diff of the discussion? I don't see it on that page now (perhaps I was messed up by the tons of words there). Thanks a lot. Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 08:48, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's there, deep in the archives. Troublesome editors (Radiodj1520 being one) are the culprits adding this fancruft, which I'm sure Cowbert was not aware of when he reverted back. On that basis, I removed it again. Other Side One (talk) 10:40, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Outside opinion from involved editor

Agreed with the removal of this information, which I have done because it's probably the work of one of the sockpuppets who persist in adding this information; looking in the past, the network slogans were generally used in the past solely by stations with no promotional budget or to fill a minute of airtime with the network's imaging song fit in with awkwardly placed mentions of the station. These days they aren't used at all thanks to direct response advertising. By past consensus, using the 'network slogans' within local station articles have been removed, mainly because the only sources to find them would either take eons to find at the local library or through YouTube and TV Guide collector's sites (which violates WP:ADVERT.

If you look at my user page, my user page has been vandalised 3 times (probably more if I did not request semi-protection) and my talk page has been vandalised 7 times. LOL. Anyway, keep up your good anti-vandalism work. Cheers! Arctic Kangaroo 12:28, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, you are not a rollbacker yet. Why? I find you are active in fighting vandalism. --Makecat 12:39, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I am trying to get a better grasp of anti-vandalism through the CVUA course. You can view it here. My trainer says that he will inform me when he feels I can apply for rollback. Anyway, I still make occassional mistakes in reverting vandalism, so I feel it's best I do more practice first. Arctic Kangaroo 13:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sometimes it's difficult to identify vandalism. In fact, I find Huggle quite useful because it lists most possible vandalism at the top of the queue for you to review. You may try it when you have rollback rights. --Makecat 13:29, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just to understand the situation better so I don't repeat the mistake again, may you explain what you mean by "harassment"? Thanks! Arctic Kangaroo 04:13, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. When someone removes a message from their talkpage, it is to be assumed that they have read it, and they're allowed to remove it. The only messages they are not allowed to remove are block notices while blocked and some other templates (WP:DRC and WP:REMOVED). Reverting to the same message over-and-over again is like spamming your mailbox with stuff you've already seen. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 05:59, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The thing is, I warned him, he removed the warning. After repeated times, I told him that I don't want to waste my time on him as admins can trace warnings and contribs anyway. From then, he started insulting me, which is not allowed in Wikipedia. So, how can I not remove it (moreover as mentioned, it's against me!) ? Arctic Kangaroo 06:04, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(no "talkback" needed)You gave a final warning. That's enough. After that you either need to report him or walk away. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 06:07, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I will do that in future. Thanks a lot for guiding me! Arctic Kangaroo 06:08, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, you're doing great. Just remember that sometimes it may seem like no-one cares for minutes or even hours after you report something. Gotta be patient. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 06:10, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thx for the barnstar. I'm quite new user in Huggle. You should also try out Huggle (you need rollback in eng wiki to use), I also tried twinkle at first but couldn't beat Cluebot and many other users with the speed of that. Then I started using STiki which was better than Twinkle, now I am using Huggle which is even better than other automated tools. My aim is to beat Cluebot but it's quite hard to beat the bot:P Anyway thanks for the barnstar. I really appreciate that. Torreslfchero (talk) 14:29, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your request for rollback

Hi Graphium. 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! Lord Roem ~ (talk) 15:10, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging of User:Pushbuttons edit as Vandalism

Vandalism on Wikipedia has a specific meaning, which is that it is a" a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia." - You fail to show that occurred with your tagging of the edit. Sources like the financial times and the Property Council of Australia agree broadly with the changes made by Pushbutton and if you have specific concerns then they should be discussed as normal editing disputes are, not by reverting the edit as vandalism. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 18:03, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very sorry about that. When I went through that edit yesterday, I failed to realise that the company had changed its name on 22 January 2013. I only referred to the page name and thus thought it was vandalism. I have reviewed the edit again, and I totally agree with it. So, do you think I should move the page? Cheers! Arctic Kangaroo 02:42, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No need to apologise to me, though perhaps one to Pushbutton would be in order (as well as removing the vandalism mesage). A page move would be sensible, but if you have any doubts use a requested move to check consensus. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 09:06, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graduate?

Hey Arctic Kangaroo! It's been days since you taken your task at your CVU course. And I was wondering if you want to graduate since you already have rollback rights. Because some trainers, if there students already got rollback, they let there students to graduate since an admin already confirmed this user's potentials to have that rights on his own. Well, hoping for your response. Thanks, Mediran (tc) 04:06, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was actually another user who tagged it for speedy. I only did my duty to restore the CSD tag when it was removed by the page creator before any admin even reviewed it. Arctic Kangaroo 07:52, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you have let that page as it was ealier (before you reverted) then it would have been deleted as G8 (author blanked the page). Torreslfchero (talk) 10:28, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry to bother you then. The script I use for speedy deletion notifies the last person to "tag" the article, so it sometimes makes that mistake. Feel free to ignore me. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 11:38, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I'm not sure about it too. I felt that it was better to include the comma, as it is included in the page name. And, you did not do anything wrong. When I reverted your edit, I labelled it as a good-faith edit. Arctic Kangaroo 09:01, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please just stop because I am getting really upset by your actions. Watchingeveryevent (talk) 10:11, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that you are willing to change. I'm not bullying you, just ask around. Constructive editors will say that it's fine to leave warnings on vandals' pages for disruption to Wikipedia, and I hope you can change, so I offered to explain things to you. But too bad, you snubbed my offer, so I can only let the admins handle you. It's as simple as that. Period. Arctic Kangaroo 10:14, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK then, I was just informing him about the block. Arctic Kangaroo 12:41, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He'd have been well aware of the block when he attempted to edit. Whether or not you intended this to be grave-dancing, it's very easy to construe it as such. Which is why it is generally best, if a matter is being taken care of at ANI, to drop the matter and go and do something else.

Username report

Hi there, I have seen that you have been reporting usernames in WP:AIV but it would be better if you report it in WP:UAA where username reports are reported. Although admin will block those in WP:AIV, it would fit better to report it there. WP:AIV is only used for to report vandalism by users and IPs. Thanks. Torreslfchero (talk) 12:33, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi mate, those I reported at WP:AIV were what I feel as "usernames that don't look/feel promotional". Those I feel prmotional, however, have been reported at WP:UAA. You can check my contribs between 7pm-8pm (UTC+8) if you want to take a look and verify. Cheers! Arctic Kangaroo 13:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, although you don't feel that you can always report it there (in UAA), they will be either blocked or be declined (your request). I know that you have very good contributions and also who know very well most of the things in wikipedia. Anyway, keep your good work on reverting and reporting vandalism. Thanks. Torreslfchero (talk) 13:12, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, not most lah, still learning. That's why I chose to get adopted and still taking CVUA course, so I can make sure I know everything (as much as I can remember). Also, thanks for your enocuragement. Arctic Kangaroo 14:09, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I have taken a second look at the article, and I find it fine. So, CSD tag has been removed, including the CSD message I sent to the author. However, I added a stub tag to it as I find that it can be more informative. If you find stubbing it inappropriate, just inform me and I will be glad to discuss with you (and perhaps the author).

Vandalism warnings

Hi, AK! I wanted to ask you to please not skip levels when warning vandals, except for really bad stuff like personal attacks. In those cases you should use a 4im level warning. The reason is that the AIV folks are generally pretty insistent that a vandal get 4 warnings before they will act. Thanks! Gtwfan52 (talk) 09:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I usually use this system.
Level 1 = AGF
Level 2 = No faith assumption
Level 3 = ABF, please stop.
Level 4 = ABF, stop or block.
im/single issue warning = LTA
Generally, I haven't really encountered too much problems with this system. The only problem I have enocuntered is that sometimes, I see an LTA user and give a im warning, and when he vandalise again I report him and they say "not sufficently warned". So, for this situation, I think using single issue "LTA" warning is better. Arctic Kangaroo 09:46, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

Regarding this edit, I'm pretty sure the IP is Chascharl, trying to avoid being reported for vandalism by logging out. He's been editing disruptively at List of Pair of Kings episodes and started vandalising my comments on the talk page. When I gave him a final warning for that he disappeared and the IP started making the same edits, but with some pretty weird edit summaries. --AussieLegend () 15:46, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info, will make a report at WP:AN/I about this. You may want to help by adding more evidence. I have just launched the report. Arctic Kangaroo 15:48, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I've taken a look at this article as it seems to have been the subject of some controversial removal of content and tried to ensure some balance. Looks like the comments the user - who may be the subject of the article - is objecting to were added on 2012-10-20 as the story was emerging and the full details weren't yet in the public domain.

Vandalism Warning

I'd love to know why I was threatened with a ban from Wikipedia when I do not, and never have, contributed any negative or vandalizing content. I assume this is regarding the Talk:Red-lipped_batfish page, for which I obviously had to switch accounts (i.e., log in) in order to remove the vandal comment which was, quite frankly, breaking the talk page. 69.249.227.39 (talk) 06:06, 11 February 2013 (UTC), aka Newms34.[reply]

Arctic,

From my understanding, you are allowed to delete content including warning messages from your own talkpage. Check. Mine is a shared IP and lot of people are using this. Unfortunately, some are misusing it too. 58.68.91.114 (talk) 07:10, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid to say that I can't confirm as you have no proof. I also just did a WHOIS check on your IP, but I don't see anything there to make me think you use a shared IP (but I may be wrong as I'm not very good at looking at those kinda thing). Refer to the report here. If you wish to be a constructive long-term contributor to Wikipedia, you may want to consider creating an account so you will not be affected by IP messages/blocks.

Editing on one's own talk page

An editor is allowed to remove any and all content from their own talk page at their discretion, with a few exceptions. Those exceptions are block notices, sockpuppet notices and the rare placement of CSD or XfD notices. This provision is of course only for one's own talk page and does not extend to article talk pages or other editor's talk pages. See WP:UP. I might add that the above reply to the polite message 58 sent you was a bit WP:POINTy. You need to assume good faith, please! Thanks and happy editing!

Edit warring on British Motorways

Hi Arctic Kangaroo,

I have accepted your edit-warring message, but may I register my disappointment in you taking sides on User talk:212.183.140.26 before you had heard my side of things and while I was still preparing my case. I would have expected more from you.

For the record, I chose to have the discussion on the M25 page as that is the most public British motorway page in Wikipedia.

May I also draw to attention that once the IP-editor signs off, (s)he cannot be contacted again. If you look at the changes made by User:212.183.140.50, User:212.183.140.5 and User:212.183.140.26, you will see that they all have the same look and feel. This is because IP addresses are allocated to them on the fly by the ISP, who in this case is Vodaphone who owns IP addresses 212.183.128.0 - 212.183.144.255. Martinvl (talk) 07:59, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it was my bad earlier on and thanks for guiding me on that. I have also reviewed your edits once again, I think you have valid points there. Just continue discussing until you reach a consensus. If needed, just call for admin help. Some of the better admins (just to name a few) are JamesBWatson, Materialscientist, Someguy1221 and Bongwarrior.
