I found that you warned MarkPC (talk·contribs) for edit-warring on article Devadasi. He has now resorted to using various socks and proxies to push his point of view. A user check revealed that he is a sock of a banned user and was banned but then he somehow seems to have fooled the admins into giving him a second life [1]. As of yesterday he has resumed the reverts on article Devadasi and has been removing references and edits by various users. Please see his contributions which are all reverts [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] and still counting. See the most recent ones: [10], [11].

Patriots
Lol. About the Pats thing... we can't restore the version because that will take away several edits. But I still can't believe the edit. It used to have 46 references but now it has 6.... And it used to be about 10 times longer than it is now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milk's Favorite Cookie (talk • contribs) 21:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Alright, I'll leave him a message. I gotta pack. We either have to delay the RFA or do it earlier because the bad thing is I'm moving on the 15th. Too much of a coincidence, I know. But, I probably won't get internet connection to where I move for about a week. Earlier of delay? - Milk'sFavoriteCookie21:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Half of my room is finished, and I've already filled up 4 boxes... This going to be a long day. Considering that I can barely lift two of them... :( - Milk'sFavoriteCookie22:25, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know why you delete correct symbols of Indonesian autonomous territories and put there incorect. Why if Aceh, Yogyakarta or Papua has got their own symbols, you put Indonesian flag...That is unfair!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zozol86 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
The only thing I can think of is a "Today's Quote" or "Today's Motto" section. It won't take up much space but thats the only thing I can think of right now. If I come up with any more ideas, I'll let you know. Burner0718JibbaJabba!03:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I thought it was a bit unfair of you to characterize Fork Stab(talk·contribs·deleted contribs·page moves·block user·block log)'s edits as vandalism. In my opinion, he made a good faith edit, and even went to the trouble of notifying the community of his upcoming edits on the discussion page. At the very least, you could help educate a newbie on the ways of Wikipedia as he requested on the discussion page rather than discouraging him by labeling his edit as vandalism. — Myasuda (talk) 05:23, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Once again, thank you very much for your userpage design. I just changed my userpage and I think it looks much better. I still need to customize some of the links, colors, etc. and add some content, but I still think it looks really cool. Thanks, dude. jj137(talk)15:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
RGB is a standard for setting the color of well, whatever it is attached to. It allows the user to give values for R(ed) G(reen) and B(lue). These values van range from 0-255 and allow creating about every color in the color spectrum. If you want to change the color of anything, just alter the values for RGB. Excirial (Talk,Contribs)15:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes they do. Setting it to 255,0,0 would create pure red, 0,255,0 would create green, and 255,255,255 is white. RGB are simply the three prime colors, and the values indicate how much of it is mixed for the total color. The higher the value, the more that is being mixed. A simply way to add the colors you want to the page is opening Windows Paint (Assuming your on a windows machine) and then going into the color customizing mode. This will display a color palette, which will indicate the RGB values of the colors in it. Excirial (Talk,Contribs)16:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Chotoku Kiyan was a master of Shorin Ryu. This should be noted on his Wiki page. He was one of the primary teachers to master Shimabuku, of Isshin Ryu. I know this because I practice this style. It is well documented.
I would try to get some more Wikipedia namespace edits (and maybe more Template and Category namespace edits as well, if possible). Just a few suggestions. jj137(talk)20:12, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
First, I like your new page. Looks cool. Second, I am going to join the fantasy baseball league.I've been discusing it with Stormtracker for a while now. Third, I would like to apply for a rollback and noticed you were one of the admins so I decided to come to you. Can you grant me permission? Respond quick!!
Stormy was confusing me as usual so think I will join ESPN because I already have an account there. He told me to get one. About the rollback, I will try harder. I edit on a dial-up connection so it is hard enough already. Happy editing!!!

Question
Hey, I created two categories last night. One for the wikiproject cavs and wikiproject suns. My question is that on the suns one, it lists everybody under U. Now I know I had this problem with the other one, but I don't remember how to fix it. Do you know how to fix this? RC-0722communicator/kills15:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Lol. Worst reasons. The request was from Articles that IP's write and request they be created. (I forgot the link). It was his article though. That was my mistake. - Milk'sFavoriteCookie18:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Welcome
Hi, and welcome to the Boston Bruins Taskforce! We are a group of (mainly) Bruins fans who help to improve coverage related to the Boston Bruins on Wikipedia.
Looking for somewhere to start? Here are a few suggestions.
Yesterday, while reverting vandalism, I saw someone vandalizing several categories that list suspected sock puppets. After I got him a few times, he proceeded to curse his face off on the categories' talk pages. I put a db-attack on the talk pages. My question is, should I put a talk page up for speedy deletion if someone creates it to attack people? Or should I just erase the swearing? J.delanoygabsadds20:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I think I will join CBS instead because I was having a little trouble with username avalibility. I guess it was taken. --Carerra "I help newcomers!00:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I saw you just deleted the entry on DahnMuDo. Your reasons for doing it weren't clear? "Neutrality issues"? What can be done so that it can go back? This is a real practice deserving of note and recognition - I have been a practitioner for over 2 years and am an instructor in the art. Please let me know what I can do to get it back on Wikipedia. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamb4 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I didn't nominate the Prod or decide the reasons; I just clean out the backlog of articles that need to be deleted. VanTucky was the person who nominated it and decided the reasons, so you actually may be better off talking to him. jj137(talk)02:45, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Signpost updated for February 18th and 25th, 2008.
Alright, at least I'm getting somewhere. Now, how do I join. I talked to Stormy the other day and in his usual fashion, said "HPjoker created the ESPN league and I haven't found it yet." I will talk to him today. But do I need somekind of password to get in. If I do, you can email it to me. My address is mXlancerX@gmail.com. My user on ESPN is CarerraZ. I'm not that creative. --Carerra"OoOoOooh!"12:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
bobby farrell nonsense
Greetings! Long time no see. I'm sure you remember our long discussion concerning 'gayforpay' clause. :))
Well, I require your services... again. I'm sorry, but there's this nutjob (John(?)) editor who wishes to delete the image from the page - and I don't have any problems with that - while he also deletes "our" favorite sentense/link without any explanations, sort of just along for the ride. This is bs, as he also left me some fake warning message concerning reverting his vandalism. Please intervene when you get a chance. I just need that specific link to stay on the page and I don't care of he alters other things as long as he does not touch the link. Thanks again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.182.235 (talk) 22:39, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi again. It seems to have quieted down for now. If another fool starts the nonsense again - I'll drop you a line. Thanks & cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.182.235 (talk) 22:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey jj137! :)) Looks like the fool just revealed itself... and lied about re-insertions, because I did not reinsert anything after his tirade: this s.o.b. just blocked the page after dropping the link arbitrarily - check the log on the article. When you get a chance, please see what you can do to restore the page to your previous version with the link. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.177.134 (talk) 18:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, we were just looking to follow up on the original post regarding the deletion of our magazine after being out of town. We didn't see it in the archives. Would it be possible to circle back on the topic? Quick recap, we are founded by people that came from Automobile Magazine and attempted to write the piece based on their entry and other car magazine entries. Our website is http://www.motorcarmarket.com Thanks, StickwithRWD (talk) 00:33, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Please do not share this account with multiple people. Accounts are meant for one person. Also keep in mind that Wikipedia is not for advertising of any sort. Thanks. -- jj137(talk)01:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry? Oh... I'm helping our company with this, therefore the "we". It's a team effort here but only one person is using the account. Thanks again for the reply. I totally understand the not for advertising. When we, I, originally posted the write up, I hit save, and within the minute, went back to edit it further but it was already blocked. I was pretty confused what happened. Tried to "hang on" but my account was shut down all within five minutes. It actually felt very unfair after hours of research and writing the article within Wikipedia, which was lost. Is there some automatic screener that searches for key words and blocked everything? Or did some one read it, look at the magazine's website and make a decision on it in that short time frame? As I mentioned, and I'm really trying to understand sorry for long response, we replicated Automobile Magazine, the style of entry with the facts of the content in an attempt to avoid any confusion with advertising. In addition, tied in relevant links to other entries as recommended when building an entry. I'm happy to resubmit under this new user or take any steps you recommend. Thanks again,68.5.46.22 (talk) 03:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure why my sign-in didn't registered when I replied last night so I just wanted to reply with my correct user id. Thanks, StickwithRWD (talk) 02:48, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I have unblocked this user per a discussion on unblock-en-l. As it turns out, this is the concatenation of the person's real name. In this case I think an exception can be made to WP:UN. (Let me know if you disagree, I am open to discussion on this.) --Chris(talk)15:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I've been vandalized many times today under bogus pretext of non-existent violations - all in the name of personal vendetta waged upon me by a user/admin with a questionable behavior. As you may see from your discussion page log - I did not raise my finger on you a single time. In the process I've been blocked countless times today by the afore mentioned user - all in blatant violation of wiki policies, and yet he got away with them all. I think you understand that I did not come here to start any problems, let alone problems with you. We had a previously achieved mutual agreement, and I have no intentions of violating that. I only requested your services on the page that we've worked on together before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.176.207 (talk) 22:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Haut-Koeningsbourg castle, Alsace.
Radziejow
You said my changes were unconstructive? Please explain to me how the following paragraph is a constructive addition to a town entry?
"After the war, survivors who returned to Radziejów found that all Jewish-owned houses had been taken over by Poles. Survivors were afraid to remain because Polish groups were killing Jewish survivors, including a returning Jewish father and son in nearby Osięciny[5]."
"all Jewish-owned houses" Every single one? Can this be proved? Sources?
What do people from "nearby Oscieciny" have to do with Radziejow??
The entry reads just fine without these lines, they add absolutely nothing to the conversation. They were added by someone with a bias, there is even a link to the Wiki from their website. Biased.
Morever, look at source 4: ^ Excerpt of Speilberg Foundation video Holocaust testimony of Ben Neuman. Retrieved on 2007-05-21. Visit the website www.polandinjustice.com, who authored this portion of the wiki. This person is adding a source that is his own father's testimony. Is this not bias?
Can you please either protect or resolve this issue for the Radzijow entry? I am removing some lines which do add anything to the entry and which are obviously biased, as explained here and on that page. The other author, however, continues to revert the changes for which the main source is his FATHER. They have added nothing to the discussion, nor any reason for the reversion. Please advise.

That looks like a consensus to keep to me. If that user wants the article deleted, they can open another AFD, but there is no reason you should overturn your decision and delete it. jj137(talk)03:07, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
It seems to be getting shorter every day (or its just me), Imagine it being today's FA, and imagine how the front page would look. (Now, I kinda laugh) - Milk'sFavoriteCookie03:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
It's like I'm talking to someone else. Similar Story: A week ago, I was playing Halo 3 on 360, and I meet this guy who says he can kill me easily. I was like yeah, you're a commander (that's pretty good). So thinking that I'm screwed I played him, and beat him 25-1. And you know what he said at the end?: "I shouldn't have gone on my brother's account" (I really have no idea how that connects, but heck, thought I should tell you) - Milk'sFavoriteCookie03:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Decent. But I know a couple of kids at school who could kill me with their eyes closed. But I know a lot of kids who I can kill with my eyes closed :) - Milk'sFavoriteCookie03:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, people do that. But after a while it gets boring. And no, I've never done that. Except for this one kid at least. Yesterday, he was playing from 4pm to 3am which is really paranoid. And I can GUARANTEE you that he's playing right now. (Halo - the only game he plays) And, no, that's not me. - Milk'sFavoriteCookie03:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
LOL. I'm going to try playing Madden on the Wii tomorrow, I still haven't gotten a chance. BTW, my status won't show up for some reason. If you edit my talk page, it's the first thing on top.

Some time ago you deleted {{Mario Kart series}} (due to a nomination at TFD). I believe this nomination and discussion was flawed because the template itself was, as I understand it, never tagged for deletion (or if it was, it was tagged only after being up for deletion at TFD for a number of days). My request is to have the template (and associated talk page) undeleted and a new discussion started at TFD. BTW, sorry I didn't get to this sooner, that'll teach me to not pay attention (or rather, to try to pay attention to too many things at one time). —Locke Cole • t • c03:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Strange, at the TFD discussion another editor indicated it wasn't tagged until days after the TFD was initiated. Can you verify this statement was incorrect? Thanks. =) —Locke Cole • t • c05:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
It was in fact tagged 11 minutes before the TfD was initiated, and removed by an IP about two days later:
00:32, 2 January 2008 (diff) . . Dream out loud (Talk | contribs | block) (761 bytes) (TfD) - this is where it was added.
18:58, 3 January 2008 (diff) . . 71.240.174.67 (Talk | block) (648 bytes) - this is where it was removed.
I was thinking the same, but then I saw that similar edits were coming from different IPs in a similar range. Check the history. Rudget.16:47, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I've just seen this (the history, set it to 100) - this pattern of editing stretches back to December by numerous IPs. Protection seems the only way to prevent this disruptive editing. Regards, Rudget.16:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
SatyrBot is now delivering weekly updates to the Wikiproject College Football to-do list. Have a few minutes, but don't want to start a whole new article? Check out the to-do list and knock one or two items off. If everyone pitches in, it'll go a long way towards making Wikiproject College Football the best source for college football information on the Internet.
Gwguffey has created a series of navigation boxes for college football stadiums for every state in the United States. If you're creating an article about a new stadium or updating a current article about a stadium, be sure to include one. It'll make the page more useful to readers, and they look darn nice, too.
SatyrBot assessed approximately 4,300 previously-unassessed college football articles. There are still over 1,500 unassessed articles out there, so if you get a chance, feel free to lend a hand.
If it becomes necessary to use an archaic name for a university, link to the modern name and/or Wikipedia page. Example: Virginia Polytechnic Institute. This is particularly common in articles dealing with subjects prior to the separation of NCAA divisions in the 1970s. (Discussion)
A motion to create a Wikiproject High School Football has been brought up on the talk page.
Editors are reminded that any template that automatically includes a fair-use image (such as a university logo) will be automatically deleted by Wikipedia. Instead, create a general template that asks the user to select the logo rather than automatically including the logo inside the template.
Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page.
I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game.
Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article.

I just finished playing Madden on the Wii. I won 72 - 3. (But, then again... I faced the Raiders...) The commentary is horrible.
