Awarding Barnstar

The Barnstar of Good Humor
Aprils fools day was a blast. Loads of users lightened up to have good old fashion fun. I want to thank you for taking part in editing this page in particular and even though I may not know you, embrace the same talk pages, or even edit with you in the near future, I'd like to award you this Barnstar for making Wikipedia a fun environment in which to contribute. Until next year. :) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 14:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

please bear with me ...

Hello, i'm new to this whole wiki edit thing. I just got some message that i chaged a page and it was unconstructive. But i DO know about computers, and the IP address was the same as my external, but it was from Finland. This isn't right. SOmething's messed up. Could you look into it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.201.73 (talk) 01:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Username Change

Hi Katalaveno.

Yes, User:ThePurpleMonkey had another username change... (thanks copyrights). I sent you a (snail mail) letter, and gave you a phone call, neither of which you have responded to. Anyways, I was just wondering if you wanted me to do the Tech for your production (Oliver, I believe).

Again, hope everything is OK!

Apparently, someone owns the copyright to PurpleMonkey in the UK.... so I wanted to avoid any future lawsuits, as my salary to pay settlements is rather limited as a student :)

I feel heartbroken..... I was really enthusiastic. Sigh........
Well, enjoy anyways!

Well, put my name on for next year. I'm now officially CompTIA A+ certified, so any other tech help you need (including updating the last 4 versions of MediaWiki) just email me.
Cheers,

thank you

Jackmantas

I saw that in the last half day you reverted vandalism by Jackmantas of the Eric Greif article. Curious, I checked back and saw no less than a dozen additional hack jobs. It appears that Jackmantas is a Single-purpose account created for only this seemingly malicious purpose of taking apart an article. I'm relatively new and figured you'd know what to do, if anything. Thank you. PositiveSpin (talk) 10:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Ailanthus altissima

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
I, Basketball110Talk, hereby award this barnstar for reverting multiple disturbing edits made to Ailanthus altissima. Basketball110Talk 00:46, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
You really deserved it. Basketball110Talk 00:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm not so sure; at least one of the bad edits around line 20, seems to have remained, and my attempt to revert the vandalism was, itself, rejected as vandalism.

There's little point to providing the diff now, as the matter has since been resolved. The problem was mischief apparently done by User:Scaldinghotsoup where the first two words of the third Paragraph, "In China" were replaced with a mis-spelled "China town". I tried to revert it, only to have my reversion reverted, but by the time I had completed the message about the bad edit, the problem had been resolved by other editors. ÞorsHammer (talk • 02:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I saw you reverting again. Good work! Basketball110 00:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

It's always good to meet folks here who understand that fully anonymous users aren't the enemy. Mr. IP (talk) 22:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Your Question

Administrators have the ability to delete certain revisions from edit histories. The edits however are still viewable by other administrators and not permanently removed from the system. Oversighters have the ability to permanently remove the edits so they are viewable only to those with the oversight abilities.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you

In relation to your admin views, i really do. Take a look at this user here, and you can see he was mocking the whole system. Im going to assume at that point all the admins were asleep, i guess there are only 1500. There was a backlog of about 9 reports at that time on the AIV. Its tough, we need more but we have to make sure they do the right thing because rogue admins are not good at all. I've seen some around, maybe they have lost the passion to do the admin stuff i dont know. I have seen you all the time putting your views on the RFA page, i think its great that members like you can put your say across. I dont really know how to improve the system, maybe thats something you can ask to someone in a higher position with experience and see what they say.
