When In ROMe

thanks for the rom-edit. i really couldnt think of how to phrase it. the_undertow ^talk 00:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

No worries! It honestly took me four or five goes before I came up with a way to word it that felt right. I guess it wasn't as simple as I thought. :-/ Pleasure to help. — GrimRevenant 00:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for support in my unsuccessful RfA. I appreciate the support, and am disappointed on being judged by what in most opinions seem to be the wrong things. Until next time, edit on! :) — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 03:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:XeroBank Browser logo.png)

[[

Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading Image:XeroBank Browser logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:05, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Ooh, shiny! You are an Irishman of your word.

By my count, though, that was 31 minutes. Son, I am disappoint. You are tardy – don't you have some sort of time machine or TARDIS you could have used?

(Nevertheless, thanks for the shiny!) —GrimRevenant 01:10, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

"Web host block"

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Grim Revenant (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. I am accessing the web via a VPN provider because the country I am currently in logs connection metadata. Should I be using Tor instead? —GrimRevenant 08:36, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline; you need to provide your IP address so we can find the block. Note that tor is generally blocked, too, due to massive abuse coming from their exit nodes. Yamla (talk) 11:42, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Oh, right, forgot CheckUser is relatively uncommon here. Never mind— new IP appears working fine for the time being. —GrimRevenant 19:21, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
