My wheel-warring policy:
Admins: If you see me make a logged action that you think I should not have done, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo it without asking for my permission. However, if I marked the action as being done after running a checkuser query, or as part of a sockpuppet investigation, you should ask me or another checkuser before undoing it. In any case, if you do revert one of my actions, I would appreciate it if you tell me that you did so. Thanks!

You know what? I actually get off huggle and go off to do something else when I see you have arrived :D You beat us all, and you don't even leave anything behind for us slowpokes to enjoy.

CVU Anti-Vandalism Award
Well, a message is not really needed. But for the sake of those who don't know J.delanoy's speed and thoroughness in reverting vandalism; this was awarded to him just for that. Chamal talk 13:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Chamal talk 13:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, well... about that.... :D Thanks for the compliment, and don't worry, I'm in class now, so I can't use Huggle. (my teacher will get suspicious if I keep hitting the same key again and again.) J.delanoygabsadds 13:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You edit Wikipedia while in class? I've heard the word 'Wikipediholic' somewhere... Chamal talk 14:05, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
LOL, yeah. I'm in my first semester with a CS major, so pretty much all my courses are introductory. Since I already know how to program some, I can goof off in class and still get A's. J.delanoygabsadds 14:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cynthiana KY

The things keep being removed. the two pieces i added are accurate and true. matthew hyatt is the author of i am icarus. you can see it at www.cafepress.com/iamicarus and he is an acclaimed local artist.

the sexual involvement for teenagers is also the highest in the state percentage wise. that can be found through the local government.

Woops. Now I messed up... *sigh* I'm not good at wikipedia, so I tried to add you a comment of apologizing to you, but that backfired... I hope I'm doing this right, and I'm sorry if this isn't.

Probably not. For one thing, I have a PS3. For another, I've used it once since the end of August. I'm taking more than 18 credit-hours and I'm working part-time, so I don't have a lot of free time. I can do Wikipedia in class and in between homework. It's not as easy to do the same with a video game. J.delanoygabsadds 19:11, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

excuse me, yes i did vandalise before, but i tried to make a good contribution to the red headed slut (cocktail), to make up for what i've done. you may not know much about this drink, but i am related to rebbecca snider and i know the story of this. i am very dissapointed that you have marked this actual contribution as vandalism. if it is not changed back i will never use this site again, and speak to my friends in time magazine to write an article about jerks like you ruining this wonderful sight.

After reading the diffs, I endorse J.delanoy's revert, your addition may not have been vandalism, but it could be reworded batter, and the bit about how she was his mistress is irrelevant to the story. Something like the drink was developed by (name) and (name) with a source would be more encyclopedic. It's nothing against you personally, it's just that every editor needs to follow the same manual of style so that the project is uniform. See WP:MOS for the manual of style. --Terrillja (talk) 19:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Big thank-you from me too for reverting vandalism on my talkpage =) --guyzero | talk 19:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yo, Waz up???

I'd just thought id drop by ciscokid21 and see whats up (I really don't understand how you did the chess board but its really awsome) so, id just thought id drop by (trust me, i'll never vadlize again) (the only reason i did it was because i was bored out of my mind) CUL8TR Ciscokid21 (talkcontribs) 20:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The chessboard is just some really complicated wikitext. The board itself was already made by someone else, I just did the borders and move list and stuff. I was able to do it mainly by looking around to see how other people did similar things.
BTW, if you want to "vandalize" and not get in trouble, you can go to the sandbox and do practically anything you want. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 21:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection of User talk:Jeff G.

Hi. Thank you for all of your anti-vandalism efforts. While I appreciate your well-meaning attempt at protecting me, I did not ask for my user talk page to be semi-protected, only my user page. I think it is counter-productive for me not to be able to get feedback from anon warnees in the usual place for it. Also, I don't want to be thought of as someone who can dish it out, but can't take it. In addition, I don't want the burden of having a separate unprotected talk page like you have. Thus, I respectfully request that you unprotect my user talk page. Thanks again!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:06, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I meant to tell you that I had done that, but I got caught up following a vandalism thread on /b/ and I forgot to. So I guess I owe you an apology for that. I really hate performing logged actions on other people's userspace without telling them that I did it. I just saw someone calling for people to vandalize your page, and I know you are a good Huggler. I didn't want you to be distracted by all those "new messages" notices, so I protected your page. Sorry. J.delanoygabsadds 22:37, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Who called for people to vandalize my user talk page? Also, per WP:CSD#U1, please remove the reference to the Informative article you had deleted from User:J.delanoy/userpage. Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Someone on /b/. I have no idea who it was (they all post as "anonymous"), but I do know why he was calling for your page to be vandalized. It was because you were pwning all his minions. They were posting screen grabs of their vandalism, and when I looked at the page history to find who to block, you had reverted them around 90% of the time...
Also, link fixed. I forgot to update it when I asked for the original page to be deleted. Thanks for letting me know I had a dead link there - I wonder how many people have tried clicking on it... <_< J.delanoygabsadds 02:00, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info, the fix to the dead link, and the laughs I got from your humor section. :)   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 10:42, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i know i'm new to Wikiediting, but if i'm deleting as a born Austrian a germanspeaking part of an article like Voitsberg, that is neot refered to the City Voitsberg, than i think, that i'm not wrong.

For the user talkpage revert. It was very much appreciated. :) AngelOfSadness talk 17:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, and thank you, because if you're getting vandalized, it means you're doing something right, so keep it up! J.delanoygabsadds 17:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess that's one way to look at it. But it also means less vandalism on the mainspace in the process :) AngelOfSadness talk 17:37, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
heh, I never thought of that... J.delanoygabsadds 17:42, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi J.delanoy,

I need some help, please check this user Ariana-hime (talk), he is making some vandalism and unconstructive edits on some articles.

Thank you.

Harmonic gear (talk) 01:45, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at his contribs and I didn't see anything really bad. All I saw was him trying stuff out. Are there any particular edits that you were looking at? J.delanoygabsadds 02:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks J.delanoy, he blanking the Magibon article twice, and removing or adding info without giving reason or reliable source. Harmonic gear (talk) 02:28, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hrm. Those were definitely vandalism, but most of his more recent ones seem more like he's testing something. Did you try to engage him on his talk page? J.delanoygabsadds 02:33, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dekisugi already give him some notice. I wish to talk to him, but I'm afraid making the situation bad, so I write to you for some advice. Harmonic gear (talk) 02:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what do I do now

About this stale report, what do I do now? :( It's obvious that he will make POV edits again. I give him now another level 4 warning just admins can see it the next time that he gets reverted? --Enric Naval (talk) 21:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would just re-report him if he vandalizes again. J.delanoygabsadds 22:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'll do that Meh, at the end I left him another level 4 warning, so it can't be said that he wasn't warned appropiatedly --Enric Naval (talk) 22:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Video games

I don't have COD4, and I haven't played Warhawk in quite a while. I have time for Wikipedia since I can edit in between classes and in between doing homework. Video games require larger blocks of time, which I don't typically have. Sorry. J.delanoygabsadds 22:19, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

For blocking the anon who vandalized my userpage. I'm surprised that it took this long for it to get vandalized considering how many users I have warned and reverted their contributions. Anyways, thanks! --Terrillja (talk) 22:53, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. The way I look at it, if you're getting vandalized, it means you're doing something right. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 22:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it was a pretty dumb one though, I was reverting the anon adding info about Mac OS 10.5 on the 10.6 article. I've certainly reverted more controversial and touchy things. Now back to WP:NPP! --Terrillja (talk) 23:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I'll hold off on Huggle for a bit, I still need to learn the ropes of the place a little more. --Flyingbox (talk) 22:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Appreciate both you and Rlevse assistance on my user pages, that sneaky little rascal is really starting to get on my nerve. For laughs, I shall quote my wife saying this: "What's with this constant harassment by someone so fixated (wth!?) on you? I think you got a new secret admirer!". But it's the weekend again, so we shall all have our last laugh, eh? Cheers~! ...Dave1185 (talk) 23:09, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! No problem. Actually, Rlevse will do most of the work, but I am happy to help in any way I am able. One of the things that annoys me most is when vandals make attacks on people like he is on you, so I try to combat them as much as I can. J.delanoygabsadds 23:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, it's all part of "Karma"... I exposed all his socks (due in no small part by his own admission to them) and in return, s/he takes time off every weekend to try something fresh. Such is life sometimes, makes for a good laugh too, eh? Cheers~! ...Dave1185 (talk) 23:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A question

Hello! I've seen you a lot around Wiki lately. I've been looking for someone to answer a question I've got. I hope you can answer it, or direct me to someone who knows. While going through the RfA's I noticed many people opposed RfAs because they felt that areas like anti-vandalism, new pages, etc. had too many admins. So what I'd like to know is, which areas have a dearth of admins? Because I'd like to concentrate my efforts where they're needed most. Thanks. Antivenin 17:07, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. Well, for one thing, I don't think there are too many admins on vandal-patrol and NPP. If anything, there are too few, especially in the really early morning UTC. In general, I don't know of any areas that need admins more than any others. WP:SSP quite often has a backlog, but as I rarely involve myself in sockpuppet cases that are not obvious, I don't know for sure. I'm probably not the best person to ask that type of question, since I almost exclusively work in vandal-patrol and newpage patrol. J.delanoygabsadds 17:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for replying! Well, I can't really be of much help at WP:SSP since finding sockpuppets is pretty random, and only admins can review/ban them. I'm not online during the early hours (UTC) and since the other admins say there are enough RC patrol admins, I don't know what to do now. Okay. Another question. According to you, what is the minimum time a person must be active in Wikipedia to RfA? (Assuming they have enough edits/experience) I've seen RfAs being opposed because of that, but there doesn't seem to be any concrete figure (months, years, whatever). Thanks again. Antivenin 19:10, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
At least 6 months of active contributing. Eight would probably be better. If you're really good, you may get by with four or five, but that is extremely unlikely IMHO.

I am more than 99% sure why you are asking me this. Take it from me: being an admin is not really that great of an accomplishment. If you try very hard to be an admin, especially if you consciously start involving yourself in areas that you normally wouldn't, you will be disappointed.
People at RFA tend to frown on users who actively attempt to become administrators. In fact, one of the main reasons I passed my RFA was because I declined to involve myself in areas of the site that did not interest me simply to make myself more attractive to people at RFA. From the standpoint of empirical contributions to the project, as opposed to the project's contributors, as a vandal-fighter, being an admin only really means that I can just do stuff myself rather than reporting to AIV, RFPP, or by tagging pages for CSD. Which, while nice, is not particularly interesting, nor is it that enjoyable.
The only really nice part about being an admin, for me at least, is that I can usually help people if they ask me. For basically my entire time here on Wikipedia, I have fought vandalism. A freaking lot of vandalism, if I do say so myself. Because of this, my username shows up frequently in literally every corner of this site. As a result of this, people often come to me to ask for advice or help, and before I became an admin, I had to send people elsewhere many many times simply because I was technically unable to help them. Vandal patrol is, by and large, a solitary job, and it is not rewarding from the standpoint that all (read: 100%) of your contributions are buried in the page history. Writing articles actively improves the site, fighting vandalism only maintains the status quo. (This is somewhat of a chicken-and-egg situation, but the point is that vandal-patrol cannot, by itself, improve this site.) The single most rewarding thing I find on this site, and indeed the primary reason I continue to contribute here, is the knowledge that I am able to help people solve their problems. Thus, the rewarding part of being an admin, to me, merely means that I am able to help more people than I could before. That's it. If that is what you are looking for in adminship, you will be satisfied. If you are looking at it for pretty much any other reason, you will get bored with the tools before you have had them for a fortnight. J.delanoygabsadds 20:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lol. I liked this: "I am more than 99% sure why you are asking me this."
Yes, I'm looking at being an admin (eventually), I just didn't know what the minimum time-frame for applying was. And I wasn't trying to hide that. If it seemed I was, I apologize.
I like to measure my progress by (I'm searching for the right word here) clearly defined figures (numbers, data, whatever). Like edit count, article count, number of people helped, etc. So if I stayed on Wikipedia not doing anything (read:not "progressing") that would be very disappointing for me. Thus being an admin isn't a goal, per se, just another way to progress. I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say... But I hope you get the idea. Antivenin 07:54, 26 October 2008 (UTC)okay, i've been thinking about it and i suppose another reason why i'd like to be an admin is because i'd like to be less dependent on admins while reverting vandalism..[reply]

Protection of Yemen Floods

If you look at the history, you'll note that only one vandal has repeatedly vandalized; 216.211.125.193. There was only one other IP vandal who had 1 edit, and then another helpful IP who reverted vandalism.

So; do you think 2 weeks is really necessary? It was only one guy. And, given that this is a current event, we'll most likely have lots of updates; would you mind if I unprotected? Thanks, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 00:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nono, I wasn't yelling! :P I was just concerned because I expanded the article and put it on the main page, and given my horrible article-writing skills I wanted as many people to improve as possible. :P Keep up the good work! Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 00:21, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again, bro.

It seems that if one is going to extend an olive branch to a Wikipedia vandal, it must first be assumed that said vandal has some common sense. Obviously, our "Simpsons" friend is lacking.  :) I am absolutely convinced that he has an open acount at User:Westwind2009. I left a sock notice on the page which went unchallenged (typical Lyle123), but the account remains open and I've reported it twice. Can you do a bruddah a favor and slap a block on that account? Much thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll keep an eye on him, but I am reluctant to block an account with no edits that is not have a blatant violation of the username policy. Having gone through that experience at another wiki, I don't want to unintentionally drive someone away. Sorry. J.delanoygabsadds 00:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you want, I can ask a checkuser to look at it. J.delanoygabsadds 00:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. If it isn't Lyle, please feel free to delete my notices. There were no edits cretited to the account when I tagged it, not even the user page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:51, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You apparently have to have hard evidence before they will perform a checkuser. If you want to file a request on his other socks, you probably would catch a few stray ones, but there is nothing else I can do here. Sorry. J.delanoygabsadds 01:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They have avoided getting blocked by editing a lot, then not at all, then a lot again, but I think they have had enough overall warnings now to warrant some sort of action. --Terrillja (talk) 02:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA

1. Have you ever been blocked? Nope

2. Ever had an Editor Review? Nope

3. An RfA? Nope

4. What (if any) horrible skeletons lie in your editing closet? I once had to put myself on wikileave because I just got so frustrated with another user. A newbie tried to report me to admins for deleting his edits (which was agreed by all that it was spam) and I was just so frustrated, feeling like I did all this work to help Wikipedia for nothing. I was back within a week.

5. Got much recent experience at AfD? Recent, no. I have voted in several AfDs before.

6. Are there any major mainspace contribs or other subsantial edits that you are particularly proud of? Yes, I worked very hard on the Rainbow Brite article, and started the Emotionally unstable personality disorder article. I also recently tried to clean up the Abby Sciuto article which was labeled as sounding like a fan site. I occasionally go through the list of articles needing copyedit and clean them up.

7. Is there anyone else who has expressed interest in nomming you for adminship? Yes, User:Shicoco said she would support me.

8. Is there anyone specific you would have particularly liked to nominate you? (If yes, I can ask them if they would like to co-nom.) You and Shicoco would be fine. :) RainbowOfLight Talk 02:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll proceed further as soon as I can. Maybe tomorrow, but I doubt it. (Gahh!! Homework...) J.delanoygabsadds 04:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks for the message. I read the article you provided. As far as the quote goes, I wrote differently than what I meant. I don't do all the contributing just so I can become a sysop. What I meant was that if being granted these privelages would help me fight vandalism easier. If I am nominated for adminship someday, I would accept and would like the idea of becoming one. Like I said, those privelages I am applying for is not 100% imperative to me. I fight vandalism, patrol new pages, and participate in AFD discussions because I have fun when I do it. Either way, it's not a big deal. Sorry if I sounded that way, though. BTW: What was that Page Protection message you sent me about? I didn't request one.

Nevermind. you hit the wrong button. No big deal. Beano (talk) 04:21, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(with regard to first, non indented message) Oh, in that case, please accept my apologies. I unfortunately have an unnerving tendency to jump to conclusions sometimes, and there^^ you go. Again, sorry. J.delanoygabsadds 04:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem my friend. I do get what you're saying though. I get messages from people that's only goal is to be an administrator and I think it's pointless. I do what I do because it's A LOT of fun, and it's a semi-productive thing to do to pass the time when I'm bored. My goal is pretty much the same as what you said in the reply you linked me. It's really fun keeping things in ship-shape. Helping new users is the most fun I get out of doing what I do. Would I like to admin? Sure, but not bad enough to pour hours, days, and months, and even years into Wikipedia just so I can have the power. Beano (talk) 04:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are right certainly

Please teach me what should I do? I don't like worthless edition war. Need third persons help. I'm sorry, I annoy you and Rlevse.--Bukubku (talk) 03:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just go to Wikipedia:Mediation or Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal like Rlevse said. J.delanoygabsadds 03:17, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
