Sorry

Sorry about that block. Thought you were a bot going the other way.  :) Wikibofh_(talk) 22:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• No problem--Bill 22:36, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Will you be able to undo the block on my account?--Bill 22:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• I thought I already did. Let me check again. Wikibofh_(talk) 22:45, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• • You should be ok. Are you still having problems?

22:36, December 15, 2005 Wikibofh unblocked User:Bill37212 (gotten by accident looking for WOW)
22:34, December 15, 2005 Wikibofh unblocked User:#68840 (oops, got 'em by accident looking at move log)
22:33, December 15, 2005 Wikibofh blocked "User:Bill37212" with an expiry time of indefinite (indefinite: known vandal block)

• • I'm still blocked. I'm not sure how this works, but could it be that my account is ok but my IP address is still blocked?

• • • Can you cut-n-paste me the block message here and I'll try to unblock it. Wikibofh_(talk) 22:51, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• • • • I think you're good to go now. I unblocked that # one again and now I don't see it. Wikibofh_(talk) 22:52, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• • • • Problem solved. Thanks.--Bill 23:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

please stop making this article evil!

There is a horribly pro-condom/anti-life view being expressed in this 'article' please stop re-adding it, I've already fixed the article, now don't change it anymore!--64.12.116.197 18:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

• Why do I have the feeling that you don't actually believe anything you're saying? --Bill 18:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Metal Page Reverts

Hey. Just a quick note to say: In a sentence, names of metal genres are done in lower case, not capital case. For instance, i suggest checking the gothic metal and symphonic metal articles. Dont worry, i got blammed for it before. Just thought id give you a nice little tip, rather then let someone else bite your head off. Leyasu 01:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I was reverting a vandal who was uncapitalizing the first letter of sentences, and I didn't notice that he accidentally made a few correct edits. --Bill 15:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry for the vandalism to "Stupidity". I was showing a co-worker how Wikipedia works, and was going to change it back immediately, but he wanted to show another co-worker first. I apologize. Markocain 12:45, 11 January 2006 (EST)

• Ok. I thought it might be something like that.--Bill 17:47, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert.

Hi,

Good looking out for the vandalism to the WiMAX article. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Cheers. Folajimi 21:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)^(talk)

Vandal violates last warning.

Hi,

I noticed you gave this one the last warning and they are at it again. User: 216.84.56.189

• Thanks for the headsup. Its been a couple of weeks since the last warning, so they can't be blocked. I gave the user another warning.--Bill 19:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• This vandal is back again today. I will let you handle this because I am new to the Wikipedia.

subst

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

User: Flightindaman

Hi Bill, when I opened my account you sent me a message, saying you hoped i enjoyed it here [on wikipedia], and that I' stay. I just thought I'd let you know that due to the sheer rudeness of user Flightindaman I will no longer be using wikipedia. He has put to shame the whole of the community, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has caused several others to leave for the same reasons as I. I am disapointed that nothing has been done about his rudeness, to the point where he has sent me obscene e-mails. It is disgraceful.

• My rudeness consisted only in pointing out ukpcdaz's dishonesty. I have sent him no emails. Sorry that this issue has had to spill over on to your talk page. Fightindaman 04:39, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

9/11 conspiracy theories

"Based on this information, some theorists such as economist Michel Chossudovsky suggest the calls were fabricated or never made at all..."

You know, certain users are going to have a conniption fit over that.

I salute you, noble sir.--DCAnderson 22:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, it wasn't my intent to upset anyone with it. It baffles my mind that they think its bad faith to identify the person's occupation.--Bill 22:05, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Because when you actually mention what the 9/11 "researchers" qualifications are, it makes them look bad, and apparently mentioning anything that makes the "alternative research" look bad is "POV pushing."--DCAnderson 22:12, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

As you said, if you are embarrassed to admit who you are citing, you might not want to include the theory at all.--Bill 22:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Discussion page heading

No problem. The sad thing was, it was probably hurting Pokipsy more than anyone else, because someone from outside stepping in to the discussion would see the title and think, "Oh, this is a personal dispute, and nothing I should actually be concerned about is being discussed here. I won't bother reading it then." So it would just stay the way it was: the three of us vs. Pokipsy.--DCAnderson 18:21, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Hingham

I understand that you are not overly familiar with the citizenry of Hingham, MA?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.136.231.248 (talk • contribs) .

Taking things too seriously

SkeenaR is a friend of mine, and wouldn't take it as vandalism. Please revert your fix, and let SkeenaR handle his own page. Also, see WP:AGF, you could use some. Morton devonshire 22:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

MYSSOURI

Re: your CSD tagging of MYSSOURI. I found some links to MYSSOURI on Google, so I added those links and stubbed the article. Please do not re-add the CSD tag without notifying me. All the best, HubHikari 16:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Sorry. I thought other people would add information after looking at the links. But whatev. --HubHikari 17:17, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Cynthia is not in the intelligence community

I know that I am like the Black Death to you, but the intro para is bad -- sentence structure seems to indicate that Rep. McKinney et al. are in the intelligence community. Please don't knee-jerk revert my edits. Morton devonshire 21:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Why do you think you're the Black Death to me? We seem to have the same view of conspiracy theorists.--Bill 21:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Anyway, you're right that the structure is bad. We should correct the sentence without removing the specific examples.--Bill 21:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Revert this ;-)

It's a bit pendantic to revert my edit because you thought it was a revert, then send me warnings about getting banned if I reverse it back. Why would I bother? It was no more than a stylistic change, not to tip the argument but to make it not sound like it was written by a guy on crutches with the phone crooked under his chin and a pencil in his teeth.

Out of that big page of mumbo jumble you singled out my edit of one sentance, or have you just starting firing on sight due to being almost overrun by zealots on this page? Thimpk. PLUTONIS—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 221.254.241.196 (talk • contribs) .

Help

You recently warned an anon user about vandalising the TM page- this guy is out of control. He has three accounts which he hops from one to the next, and he just tried to completely rewrite the page, with no consensus. Any help would be appreciated! [3] Sethie 20:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Bill37212,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
