If you've come to complain, whine, moan, question my judgment, my intelligence, my sanity, or tell me off in any way, that's fine. I'm a big girl who can take it. If you've come to chat, compliment me, have a laugh, or discuss articles that's even better. Deletion of William C. Hetzel and Dave Gelperin ArticlesHowdy, Theresa, I have read through both the criteria for deletion for speedy deletion and notability requirements for [| BLP] articles. It's my understanding that according to the criteria for deletion under article 3, an article (such as Dave_Gelperin or William_C._Hetzel) includes ""No context. Very short articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Example: "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh." Context is different from content, treated in A3, below." So, while the articles do not exactly match the wording of the "empty" box, they do apply to the criteria for deletion using that dag. The articles do not lack content (are not empty), but they do lack context. Is there a better way to nominate these articles? I am new to Wikipedia as an editor but have used it for years. I appreciate your time and effort and guidance. V/R Wikiwikikid (talk) 20:58, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
AgeNo i am not 5. Wow you really must feel important, I mean god... what I would give to be an administrator on an online encyclopedia. You must have the dream job. (I hope you got my sarcasm in that last passage as i find it quite hard to portray it over the internet without the ability to change the tone of my voice) Anywho I hope you have fun deleting all my future inputs to this wonderful site, coming soon to a page near you. Thankyou and goodnight. Chazer600 (talk) 20:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Elina Networks looks like an advertHi, I just wanted a page with some info about our company. It was copy pasted from our profile so I guess it read like an ad. I've edited it. Hope it's ok now. Thanks. PrasannaK79 (talk) 09:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC) MmbabiesNot to revive contraversy or anything, but I'm still noticing what I would like to call "personal attacks" on the Mmbabies page uncensored. Not that I'm looking for a fight or anything, but I just don't think it's fair, whenever anyone has made an attack at Mmbabies it's been bleeped. Not to bite at Rio or anything, but if you look carefully, I think you'll see a lot of the "superhero" style on Rio's part, not mine. For instance, it was him that said "Hey dude, thanks for doing that. I was researching info about that idoit boy people tried to file reports and where declined to help. Man dude you finally stop this prick from his games. Thanks for all your help. You may have stoped one of the wrost Wikipedian vandal in history. Oh it should be added in the books; that user:rio de oro , and user:GO-PCHS-NJROTC stoped user:Mmbabies from making threats aganist people. Thanks for all your help man" and "Spread the word that Mmbabies is gone from here" on my talk page, not me (see Archive 3). Immediately after, I mentioned barnstars, but that was just a question out of curiosity, nothing else. There's been many other vandals just as bad or worse than this fool, I realize this. Also notice that I told Rio "Don't get your hopes too high, we don't really know yet. Lets wait and see what happens." I don't feel that I have had that uper hero attitude; I've known for two years that abuse reporting is messy business, there's a 50-50 chance that an ISP will totally blow a person off. The same applies to government agencies. Why sure, I've played along with Rio and his overreaction a little bit; I think he's been trying to contribute in good faith, so I've been trying to comply with WP:BITE on the matter because of his intention to help, not hinder, but I've always known some of what he's been doing crosses the line (and not the equator either, get it?). Now I don't want to take sides (or tick anyone off at me), but I don't think it's fair for you to associate me with his actions when all I've been doing is acting within the guidelines set out by WP:BOLD, especially after I left comments like "Seriously Rio de Oro, you can't go sayin' crap about the hackers like that. I think all hackers and spammers should be fed to the alligators, but I never (well, never say never) make attacks (other than the usual, acceptable vandal fighting) at them. It gives them too much joy, and hacker/spammer joy is a mess. If you're gonna threaten vandals, at least try to be civil about it (like me, try using the {whois} template) and make it more of a promise, not a threat, because threats are for Mmbabies and LBHS Cheerleader, not vandal fighters." and "It's because everyone knows Mmbabies is full of BS." Once again, I don't want to point the finger at Rio or anything, but one of the big reasons I made such a big deal out of the case is because of constant pushing from him; I had slowed to just simply reporting new IPs to abuse AT att DOT net, but people have been really beating up on me to try to get the FBI and the police to tell me what was going on, which I know would have just encouraged them to ignore us and ignore me on all future cases as I've done that with similar cases and they already told me they don't diclose information on their cases, so I came up with the creative plan (which worked) to complain to the Better Business Bureau; I figured that would force an answer from AT&T which would calm the rage a little bit. Now I was uncertain myself about contacting the news, that's why I proposed it instead of jumping in immediately. I wanted to reserve that as a last resort, I knew I had to do something or I'd never hear the end of the constant pressure. At times, I regret even getting involved in this one, it's been a bit of a circus, especially recently. I say, we (we?) need to start that Mmbabies page with completely clean, delete the talk page and the main page (this removes the logs, which I think give this troll too much glory as is), rewrite the main page, removing any unneeded trivial information, ban Rio and I from it if you desire, and keep a look out for not only AT&T socks, but socks from other Houston, Texas ISPs as well as he'll be returning on another ISP if he returns. Just as R. Baley said to me, you should realize who your "friendlies" are; I'm on your side if you're here to fight IC (internet crime), and I think the "superhero" comments is kind of like "friendly fire."

Re: Zachary JaydonTheresa, I am still having an issue with user "thegingerone" and her rants on various pages about me, about Zachary Jaydon, about my supposed identity etc. I am at my wits end. I don't want to continue having these rants. I was stupid enough to respond, and would like to delete my comment to end the argument. At this point I don't care about having the last word. I would just like this nonsense to be finished. It has been going on plenty long enough. She says she's over it constantly after leaving putrid messages on my talk page and the talk pages of articles I've worked on, but keeps continuing to rant. She had an admin reprimand me for giving out "personal information" but is doing the same by claiming to know me and saying I'm this person or that person, etc. The information is completely inaccurate, and I honestly don't care much, however the principle is the same. Long story short... please let me know if it's fine to delete my comments from "The Mickey Mouse Club" page or if it's not. I know as soon as I put up my next article, it's going to be butchered and probably AfD by her immediately... It's just frustrating. I'd like to eliminate myself from this mess completely. It's insane. Thank you, Theresa. I am coming to you because I know you're level headed, knowledgeable and get back to me quickly. Skyler Morgan (talk) 21:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
OK I made this point a while ago but I'll make it again. It doesn't matter who he is as long as all statements are sourced. Both of you please read WP:COI. Secondly I think it would be best if both of you agreed not to post anything on each other's talk pages at all. Thirdly, no posting of personal information please. It' not nice. Skyler. I think deleting your comments in order to diffuse the argument is fine. Thegingerone instead of trying to prove who skyler is or isn't instead insist everything he adds has a good reliable source to corroborate it, because if it doesn't it can't go in. OTOH Skyler if you can provide good independent sources to back up your claims then it certainly can go in. Is that a good plan for you both? Theresa Knott | The otter sank 09:30, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I have posted my article on Zachary Jaydon, omitting anything unsourced sufficiently for the time being. Thank you for your help. I'm sure I'll be asking for more in the next day or two. You don't know how much I appreciate it. Skyler Morgan (talk) 08:02, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
If you can show me how to cite a magazine, I can add a number of other good sources. I just need the code, so that it shows up correctly. Skyler Morgan (talk) 08:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
So, what do I do since my article was nominated for speedy deletion? I have cited reliable sources regarding Jaydon as a noteable songwriter. Can you help me with that? I covered my bases as far as what the previous admins asked for. Skyler Morgan (talk) 18:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC) I'd put it on Wikipedia:Deletion review with a link to previous AFD explaining that this isn't an exact recreation as you have now provided evidence of notability and ask for a new AFD instead. 19:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC) Thank you. I couldn't find the discussion, but I trust you knowing what you're doing. Let me know if there is anything I need to do, as far as explanations go. Skyler Morgan (talk) 19:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh. That was my bad. I'm not sure how to go about doing that, but I will try to figure that out. I read your last post wrong. This is the part of Wiki that confuses me. Skyler Morgan (talk) 19:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC) Re: thegingerone This article (Zachary Jaydon) is under-construction and has been well sourced thus far. I will be providing quite a few additional sources in the next day or two. User thegingerone has spent the past several days writing libelous and irrational crap about Mr. Jaydon nearly non-stop. See http://popstressbabble.blogspot.com/ for verification. No, really... If you take even 30 seconds to read any part of the writings at that link, you will see exactly where I'm coming from. I am asking for help to please have her cease editing this page, as it is a blatant COI. I have been obliging in your request to not write anything on her talk page, and have been avoiding articles that I know she has worked on. I think that given the circumstances, she should be smart enough to do the same. I feel like it's obvious that she is stalking pages I work on/create. Thank you again, Theresa. Skyler Morgan (talk) 03:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Well spoken. I have done quite a bit more work on it, and included sources I never would have looked for. I wish her intentions were good, but no harm no foul. Thank you once again, and I'll let you know if I need anything else! Skyler Morgan (talk) 07:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I understand you position on the matter. I do hope you feel like I have sourced this article well. I've certainly tried. Again, thank you for your help. I really do appreciate it. Skyler Morgan (talk) 09:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Woah. I mean... woah.I just read everything there was to read regarding a certain persistent vandal, and I sincerely wish I hadn't. Madam, your poise is remarkable and your hide rhinocerine. I automatically reached for a Surreal Barnstar, but since you've already got one of those, here's an (almost) equally appropriate one:
...shaking head, deep sigh...Would I be correct in my belief that something needs to be done about our friend Rio? [1] (Having just had a quick walkaround through the relevant pages, I see you've already found that edit. All the same, though.) I know he's supposedly just a kid, but I've AGF'ed til I can AGF no more. He's been told. Repeatedly. And he's so strident that WP:DENY wouldn't work--there'd invariably be someone who'd bite when he said something else outrageous. So what are our options here?

Could you also tell me what a sock is? You said it in a seemingly negative context. I am not trying to accomplish anything negative regarding the creation of my article or the ones that I edit. I spent a bit of time citing and cleaning up Craig David's article today.

I have been reading up on Wiki policy, etc. I pointed out the AfD to someone that I knew shared some of the same opinions about certain aspects of the debate as myself. Although I didn't solicit a 'keep' vote from anyone, I don't want a meatpuppet argument later on in the AfD. I struck the vote as it didn't add anything additional to the debate as well as to maintain a fair objectivity. I want to play fair, and am continuing to clean up the article. The past few days have been extremely busy for me, but I have some excellent magazine sources to add as soon as I have a free minute. Thanks again for the information.

Theresa, please believe me, I have nothing to do with DARK3345I don't know what I can say to get you to believe me, but im really upset that everyone know thinks that was me. I'm getting myself into quite a state here, as I explained to barneca earlier I have ADHD so i know i carry on sometimes, and i guess that's why nobody will ever believe me know, but i'm almost in tears now because it seems like all the admins are against me (they may have just cause to some extent) but now also i am being accused of something I had absolutely nothing to do with. If you want to formally accuse me of being that user then i am prepared to make an official complaint to WP, hand over my pc if need be. as i said to other users. this dark 3345 is either:

Theresa Knott | The otter sank 19:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC) Well i don't know what more to sayI guess we'll never be able to prove my innocence either way. You seem sure that i am lying, and for me, everytime you call me a liar i cant believe that 2 admins have made such a thunderous error. I guess it must have been a hoax by somebody reading the admin noticeboard today. I am worried tho that it may have actually been an admin. I dunno. Anyway i feel well and truly stitched up - you might think i deserve it anyway - but i've lost all faith in wiki admins now i think. Anyway on a different note, as i mentioned earlier, i notice you were at UCL. Fantastic institution let me say, i'm hoping to be studying in london in sept, either at UCL or KCL, they are my first two choices. So i'll let you know in future if I do end up going there and maybe you can give me some tips if you forgive me for my past behaviour on here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.133.250 (talk) 19:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

An idea regarding Mmbabies issuesHere's an idea that I don't think you will find to be "ninja" style. Why do we let Mmbabies disruptive edits remain in the edit history of the pages he vandalized? I mean, isn't that just what he wanted, to fill up the edit history for those pages with endless nonsense? I say removing those edits from the edit histories would serve a good purpose. What do you think? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC) Well we could delete all his edits but it's an awful lot of work for someone. I suspect knowing that he's made an admin follow him around in order to delete him would be much more satisfying that having his edits in a page history that nobody ever reads anyway. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC) Yeah, you may be right; it'd probably be good to wait a couple more months and make sure he doesn't come back on another ISP.

A user you blocked has popped up again, apparently distressed that a Google search still returns many references associating her real name to her rather unsuccessful involvement with Wikipedia (including one higher up on this page). Now we cannot control Google's caches, but we can go some way towards courtesy blanking. I blanked one section[4], but felt uncomfortable doing the rest. What do you think? By the way, for obvious reasons, I am avoiding further use of her real name here. Thanks, Bovlb (talk) 06:51, 15 May 2008 (UTC) Well we can certainly blank everything out no harm in doing that.

As you understand, verifiability is important. As such, the media response to the manipulation if Youtube and wiki was sourced to a Polish magazine published by edipress.com. As a respected magazine with a large circulation in Poland this is considered to be a reliable source). The statements in question were proven in the article and cannot be considered to be rumours. The comments sourced as per reliable source by BBC host who is well respected as a commentator of eurovision who has been written up in UK newspapers over the past few days were written in a non-POV manner and provide more sources for her performance which came last. As Eurovision is a contest that Isis Gee tried to win her results ( place and critic of performance ) are not given undue weight. The article already went through WP:3O and User:Kevin Murray supported removal unless sourced. This was not completed as User:PrinceGlora and yourself have not responded to my points. In face, although User:Kevin Murray removed the false and unsourced Polish mnationality of Isis User:PrinceGlora and yourslef reverted versions that included a unsourced material and false statements about her position in the contest which violated WP:BLP. I ask Ricky81682 to add to the WP:3O initiated by User:Kevin Murray and stop wasting admin time with entries such as this. Would some other admin like to get involved and settle this again?

He accepted me back, on the basis of a deal I concluded with him but didn't accept my resignation. You can read the details of the deal on my talk page. This is the account he has allowed for me to make a fresh start with Wikipedia independent of my past and hope for a new beginning. I messaged Mr. Wales, and he sent me a message stating he forgave my past and wished me to have the best. Well, what's your opinion of me returning Ms. Knott? Let me know willya?

User: Vandal: MahaakaalHi Theresa, Thank you for noting my concerns regarding the above user. Here is one example: The first complaint is that if you look at his first complaint about me, regarding Nanak the founder of Sikhism, he states repeatedly that Muslims revere Guru Nanak in Punjab. Now 2/3 of Punjab is in the Islamic state of Pakistan, in 1947, India was partitioned where Muslims formed the Islamic State of Pakistan and Sikhs remained in India so by by definition Muslims revere Their Prophet Mohammed as well as Christ, David and Noah, but not Nanak - its simply biased POV to state that they do revere him. I do accept that Sikhs and possibly Hindus revere Nanak since Nanak was born into a Hindu family, but to suggest Muslims revere Nanak in the same fashion or context as Hindus/Sikhs is blatantly biased and false. There are many attempts by this user to twist original definitions of Deh Siva Var Mohe, Waheguru all the cited references I have provided have been deleted by this user. I have even provided many references from srigranth.org where the user deleted those references, yet they are used in many other wikipedia articles for referencial material.

Hi thereYes, I have been pretty absent from Wikipedia editing (although I use it as a reader almost every day). It's my intention to get back into doing a bit of editing each day. I discovered Huggle yesterday which is absolutely amazing, so perhaps I'll try to commit to doing at least a half hour shift on that a day. As for the meet, do you have any details? I may fancy it. However I made a complete arse of myself at the last meet, getting ejected for persistently trying to smoke in the restaurant and then trying to kiss Angela goodbye. I was completely sozzled. So it will take me a good deal of courage to get over that and attend. Nice to hear from you again after all this time. --bodnotbod (talk) 13:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

User hid signatureHey Theresa, Your comment on Jeffrey Pierce (on the help desk) was made based on the user that said "User protected identity to avoid edit war", right? HaHa, that was Graham who made the previous post! I wanted to look into the matter deeper after I looked at the question, but found out some suprising details. I didn't want to make myself look like a spaz, and wanted to avoid conflict, so I used a {{NoAutosign}} to fend off SineBot, waited 5 minutes, and made that post as a signature! You have to admit this is pretty funny! Graham (talk, contrib) 21:18, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
RFA DeletionOkay - Thank you for the Advice. Wikipedian2 (talk) 21:22, 6 July 2008 (UTC) New York Post real estate linksI was a bit iffy on these links myself. The links are to a commercial site, but do include useful and encyclopedic information about the neighborhoods. While I do not disagree with the removal in light of the fact that they appear to have been inserted from the source itself, may I suggest that you include an edit summary explaining the removal on all of your edits. Many of the editors reverting your deletions of the links may be doing so because you have offered no explanation for your actions. Alansohn (talk) 19:38, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

As you've said, there's nothing you can do if I was banned in another Wikipedia project, that is another language, which is in fact what have happened. I'm extremely pleased, though, in this mixed-sensations-day, by your kindness and superbly polite approach to me. Although my problem continues to exist - because in the Wikipedia of my language I have not been merely banned in an unfair way, but also deprived from channels to comunicate my complaint to the ban - although that, I said, you really have lightend up a smile in me with your gentle way of considering my petition, making me remember what I often forget (silly me!) that the world has also nice and reasonable people. Thanks again, and... I don't know, I really don't know what to do yet... Perhaps I can ask you something in the future if I need to? Thank you very mcuh and good bye.

User:Auson and attacks on BenkenobiHi! I've noticed you blocked the above user for one day for cerating an attack id. However, I have been tracking identical vandalism to User:Benkenobi for a week or so, blocking anonymous IP addresses as the vandalism crops up to try to "flush out" the user who was doing this. This happened when "Benkenobi is a retardate" was created to get around a previous block I made of an IP address. Consequently, I think the block should be increased to indefinite, as that kind of harrassing behaviour is quite unacceptable. What I have done in a similar circumstance is stated that the indefinite block could be changed to one of a more limited time scale if a suitable undertaking is made to stop carrying out harrassment of the editor concerned, and perhaps even to keep away from editing the articles that brought about this harrassment. I wonder if you think it appropriate to alter the block you imposed in this way? DDStretch (talk) 20:04, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Please tell RPoD to stop being a jerk.Since you're an administrator, please tell him to cut it out. He's the one "edit warring", not me; the article was fine for months until he butted in. (Besides, I'm suppose to take seriously someone who calls himself "The Red Pen of Doom"? I mean, what the hell?) Wikijerks like him, people who scream like stuck pigs when someone touches one of their precious articles (or just decides to be a major butt-head, because they can) seriously diminishes my enthusiasm for Wikipedia. Kindly tell RPoD to move out of his Mom's basement and meet a nice girl. Thank you.

Does something have to physically printed up in the The New England Journal of Very Important Stuff before it qualifies for Wikipedia? 3) His username is neither here nor there Sure it is. Someone who refers to himself as "The Red Pen of Doom" obviously has some acute psychological and/or emotional problems. (Again, what the hell?) But don't take my word for it; just read the multiple complaints on his talkpage. 4) Don't make personal attacks. If it looks like a jerk, and quacks like a jerk...

Google calls its Mountain View campus the Googleplex which is a term previously used in the Hitchhiker's Guide, the first building they moved into was Bldg 42, their mission is to organize the world's information (or something), the CEO still resides in the (now comparatively smallish) Bldg 42, and it were visitors are typically told to meet. But no academic or official reference that I could find on the quick. Dirk Riehle (talk) 17:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
EmblemPlease first read the blazon of the National Emblem of PR China and then decide. Obviously neither you or the IP user have read it, nor have you seen the official image of the emblem, nor the image with Mao holding the emblem which looks like the .svg file not the .png file. I think we need to be more thorough on these issues rather than "humm that looks nicer so I'll pick that one". This is not a candy shop but a decision on which one of the images we have is the right one and the .svg file corresponds to blazon and official images. Obviously the blazon doesn't mention 3D effects that .png file is showing, the same reason why we don't use very nice animated .gif files instead of .svg files for flags. Yes it would be cool to have flag images that look like they are waving in the wind or the emblem images which look like a sculpture but if you simply look through the articles or somewhere in the MoS you will notice that we have decided not to use those (even though they might look cooler to some than plain vector drawings). But even in the sculpture version [5] you can see that bends on the red ribbons are gold not black. The blazon says "The national emblem of the PRC features Tiananmen Gate beneath the five shining stars, encircled by ears of grain and with a cogwheel at the bottom. The ears of grain, stars, Tiananmen and cogwheel are gold; the field within the circle is red, as are the ribbons festooning the bottom of the circle. These two colors traditionally represent auspiciousness and happiness." And as you can see on their passport 3D effects are not emulated when the image is supposed to be shown in 2D [6]. I hope that I have informed you better on the emblem and I hope that now you understand that the .png file is not only a lower quality file but also a factually incorrect file. --Avala (talk) 22:17, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Blocked accountHey you. I noticed that you blocked my user account User:Neckstand99, after I tested some functions on Wikipedia to see what would happen. I was just about to meet with Wikipedia for the first time, and had good intentions with my account. i think i only made 2 conributions before it was blocked.. I didn't know the rules are so strict on Wikipedia, two edits and you are banned forever? What the ----? Are everyone admin acting like this on Wikipedia?

An indefinite block is not the same as banned forever though, it is merely of indefinite length.( Which practically means until someone lifts it). This would happen if you put an unblock request on the account's talk page explaining that they were just test edits, or contacted me by email. Anyway I'm glad it hasn't put you off contributing. To answer your question, mo not all admins block so readily, in fact I rarely block so readily. But I saw a pattern of abuse from a number of accounts of which yours was one and that is why I blocked.

Baseball cardsI feel like a villain the way nothing gets done about the guy harassing me. I cannot imagine doing to someone what this guy has done to me. I have not been allowed to contribute to the baseball card pages for several months now. He has been undoing my work for quite some time. When people like that are not disciplined it is the same as promoting their behavior. I don't see him changing his ways. Even if he gets blocked I see him making another sock army and coming back with a vengeance. I have said this before; when he makes a good edit, I don't touch it but if there is an error I am obligated to correct it. He, on the other hand obliterates everything I do. This is infantile.

Just as you blocked me. On that exact spot, I was trying to post this ":::::Why can't you leave me alne with your whining? Again, I shall explain this, before you came into play, AMIB was much worse han my current form. Constant swearing, attacking users, and editwarring. I finally became fed up with him, as many others were as well. I blew up, then you just jumped in, out of no where, and AMIB started playing the "Innocent Little Kid" act, to make it seem like I'm the bad guy. You fail to realise that, no matter how many times I tell you. THAT is why, I'm getting rude with you. TTN, Cig, JohnnyMrNinja, etc. were on the same side as you two, I'm not attacking them. Only you, Rob. Do us all a favor, and just stop. That way, I can get over it. I'm not going to be nice to people who don't see the full thing. I'm sure that you'd be acting the same way if you were in my position. Let's put it like this: It's a normal High School day. You, and your friends are walking to class. Out of nowhere, this huge, big, tough guy just jumps on you, and starts beating you up. Your friends run of for help. You're not doing anything, while the attacker (Let's call him Steve) keeps pounding on you (Let's call you, Joe.). After a few minutes, you're covered in blood, bruises, cuts, etc. You're still not fighting back. Suddenly, Steve pulls out a big, sharp knife, and takes it to your throat. You kick him in the balls, in an attempt to get him to stop, so can make a break for hit! He stops, and you see a tear in his eyes, then, you make your move, but, a secruity guard named Max grabs you, and drags you down to the principles office. Steve quickly hides the knife in his pocket before Max notices, and takes him too. You, Steve, and Max arrive at the the office. Mr. Hack asks Max what he saw. Max says "Well, a couple of kids came up to me, and told me that there's a fight. I rushed down to where they told me it was. When I got there, I saw Joe kick Steve in the croch (Did I spell that right?)." Mr. Hack thinks for a minute. Max leaves. You try to tell Mr. Hack the full story, but, he won't let you. Steve smirks. He pulls out his knife, and cuts his leg, and puts it under your seat. You don't notice. Steve suddenly screams in pain, and insists that you took a knife, and cut his leg. You swear you have no knife, and tell Mr. Hack to look at the cameras. He yells at you to stop lying. "Joe! Enough of your stories! You're suspended!" Now, I feel alot like Joe, right about now. AMIB is Steve, you're Max, and Xeno (Or any admin for that matter) is Mr. Hack. Do you get it now?" This was aimed at Rob. You're being just like him. If somebody would JUST LEARN THE FULL STORY already!!!! You'd know WHY I'm getting SO fed up with Rob & AMIB lately. Please, before doing this to another user, learn the full story. Thank you.

SLJ wanted Rob to email him, so tha they can try to solve issues privatley, instead of cluttering Wiki, and constantly using his friends to send mssages to Rob. Rob, rudely turned it away saying that he was "done with SLJ". That kind of proves that Rob has absolutley no interest in getting over things. Could you at least say something to him?

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month. If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too. The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required! Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along. Yours, James F.

I would hate to see this turn into a topic ban or even worse. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Korean_nationalism&action=history My edit was merely using slightly more NPOV English and removing a POV term (harsh) and 3 mins after I made my last edit, it gets reverted. It might be a good idea to reply on my talk page, as right now, this is a discussion between you and I, and if it is on my talk page, I will remove all comments made by any 3rd parties, therefore removing the potential this has for yet another 10 page debate.

Again, your lying resumes. You have not tried to anything. You even not apologize for your repeated dirty slurs against me. You even kept doing further in the public place. You keep insulting me and provoking me on your sock's talk page. You broke the promise first as you edited the articles today that you blindly reverted my edits as wikistaling me two days ago. Sennen goroshi just wanted to revert the articles because he knows how I would react at his disruptive provocation.[15] He does not regard the naming convention or alphabet order in Japan-Korea related articles as he always proclaims to be kept. If he wants to follow the admins' advice, he should not edit articles that we disputed before. However, the user broke the promise and ignites again with his inconsistent POV editing.[16][17] I have seen his "fake promise" more than enough. I want a justice. Sennen goroshi comes here to bully me and harass me. I just want a peace, and such disruptive users are not necessary for Wikipedia.--Caspian blue (talk) 03:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
1) I said 5 days not 2 2) reverting for the sake of it os disruptive Both of you are causing disruption and I will not hesitate to block either of you if this contininues. 07:48, 4 August 2008 (UTC) Injustice and unfairnessTheresa, I don't understand your unfair treatment on me. I filed the ANI report, because I have been wikistalked and harassed by Sennen goroshi. You really gave a mild warning on his repeated slurs and insulting comment against me, and did ignore all these and even preached me with no plausible reasons. I'm mainly editing Korea related articles, and he does not. Whenever he resumes editing Korean related articles, he just followed my every step for his fun and bullied me. There is not constructive edits by him on Japan-Korean related articles which is pointed by many editors. Several editors even said his disruptive behaviors at the ANI and didn't you see that? I know he would still game the system, as did yesterday. If he takes advantage of your so-called rule which I've never said to agree with and understand, he would edit first to prevent me from editing such articles. He did that yesterday An Jung-geun, Korean nationalism. He broke your suggestion and why should I be threaten by you unfairly? Please give me a good reason why I should follow your enforcement (however, it actually sounds like a threat) that I never say so. If you can't meditate in the middle ground, and condone his continuing disruption, you would not be a good meditator to look into the case. Why would I waste my time to report him to ANI? Did I wikistalk him, or harass him or even make a personal attack for more than 8 months like he has done to me? Why would I be treated along with him on the same standard? Besides, Sennen goroshi not only follows me, but also Good friend100 (talk · contribs) before and seems to target at him again.[18]--Caspian blue (talk) 15:47, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Deleted TechCrunch50?Wow, you really need to take a closer look. I created a Stub for TechCrunch50. I really don't care if you undelete it or whatever. I couldn't care less about whether Wikipedia is relevant, but I thought YOU would. I am not affiliated with TechCrunch50 OR with Wikipedia!
Last year, at TechCrunch40, 40 companies were introduced. Many had little or no funding. Since the event, 10% of those companies received funding of $10 MILLION to $27 MILLION. A FULL FORTY PERCENT WERE FUNDED at $3 MILLION OR MORE. 39 of the 40 are still in business. Significant? Heck, it may be driving the world's next phase of technology. And yet TechCrunch50 isn't significant enough to have a wikipedia page! That's funny. Blatent advertising? ok, whatever.
AN thread thingJust letting you know that this ANI "wikistalking" thread has come out of that "cat" thread on AN. Regards, D.M.N. (talk) 16:52, 5 August 2008 (UTC) About Skeletal...Hey, this is Usernamesarekewl here. I'm a new user who has only been on wikipedia for about a week or so, and I'm already being flamed by another user named Skeletal. He is being very rude to me, undoing everything I edit and even telling others to do so too. If you want proof look at my talk page or at the bottom of the 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2006' discussion page. I have told him to stop and to give my edits a chance many times, but he has done neither and continues to both flame and threaten me. There is nothing wrong with my edits! I have gotten requests from users that can't edit semi-protected pages like I can to slightly change the Sonic video game series template, which I have. I even follow the five rules of editing the template listed below the template, and all Skeletal does is change it back immediately! I am getting kinda tired of this and hope you can do something. Thankz! Usernamesarekewl (talk) 17:34, 5 August 2008 (UTC) I note that you haven't including any edit summaries explaining why you are making the edits. If you wish to change something and he does not then it's up to you to go to the talk page and convince people why your change is for the better. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 17:43, 5 August 2008 (UTC) Okay. Thanks, I'll do that then. :) It might take a few hours to put everything together though... Usernamesarekewl (talk) 17:55, 5 August 2008 (UTC) Help?Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out in this problem? When I place this template, and click "Edit", "View", or "Discussion", it takes me to the real thing, instead of User:SLJCOAAATR 1/Sandbox/Template:Sonic Characters. Is there a way to fix that? Or should I ask someone else? Thanks. Also, you can reply here. I'm watching your talk. lol. Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 19:55, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
CASPIAN BLUETheresa knott. I got this warning about Caspian blue on my talk page. I watch him now and come here. Always the same with him. He starts his revisions on comfort women again. I discussed with him. I provide him with references. He ignore me. I think he is going to make war again. -- Priorend —Preceding unsigned comment added by Priorend (talk • contribs) 04:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC) Can you take it to ANI please, I'd like other admins to deal with it. Also If you are a sockpuppet account you need to go back to your main account as I, and most admins, ignore socks. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 07:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Unblock requestYer up to bat on User talk:Cbsite's unblock request. Please see his blank/reset of the talk page recently; probably trying to create another account. Tan ǀ 39 19:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
User:SLJCOAAATR 1 is following me aroundSince his block ended: he has posted nearly everywhere I have. I remove a tiny bit of information from an article, he reverts it in a matter of minutes. I post on a talk page: he posts nearly right away with an arguement. I feel he is just trying to stir up trouble, and needs to leave me alone. In the case of the reverts: I see it as a bit of ownership, because he thinks his view on notability is the way to go. I shouldn't have to be stalked by this user, just because he has a clear grudge against me. He doesn't agree with my edits, and decides to lash out on me in talk page posts. Perhaps I'm being a bit paranoid, but I feel he doesn't need to instantly reply to each and every comment of mine, just to argue with me. I clearly know he wont agree with much on me, I don't need to see a new post about it. RobJ1981 (talk) 01:48, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Rob is such a peach!! please see his disruptive behavior vs skeletal, he has a long history of poor behavior and as been talkt to many time by admin. Not assuming good faith accusing skeletal of own (not to mention stalking) undoing others edits with no reason in edit summary but please donnt tell rob to behave. he only has several rfc's, wikiquette alerts and ANI's and a ban against him. but somehow it is always other guy!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.198.252.151 (talk) 14:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Is this 3RR violation?Since we (I and Sennen goroshi) can not leave a message to each other's talk page or edit article at the same time, how could we warn 3RR if one is engaging in a edit warring with others? Sennen picked up a similar article with which I edited.2008-08-06T20:55:28 my edit on dog meat. Sennen goroshi's edit warring on Bosintang (dog meat soup) I'm not sure whether it is a 3RR violation because I consider adding something first without a consensus is "reverting". There is no discussion on this at the talk page of bosintang. Why do I bother to report this because I feel he still select similar articles that I previously edit before like these.Comfort womenProstitution in South KoreaProstitution in South Korea--Caspian blue (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
"how could we warn 3RR if one is engaging in a edit warring with others?" You don't. You stay away from him not getting involved in any way. He is entitled to edit similar articles to you. If he edit wars on them, that is none of your business. Others will deal with it. No need for you to get involved. Please do not check his contributions. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 15:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
DO NOT FILE A 3RR report on him. What is it about leave each other alone that you find so difficult to comprehend? Stay away from him. Watchlist stuff is really easy. if he edits and it comes up on your watchlist, then obviosly you should not for 5 days. Easy. Stay away from him.

Dante Raul Teodoro DeletionHi Theresa! I just want to ask your help to keep Dante Raul Teodoro in wikipedia. What do you mean "he is not notable?" What do I need to show to prove my claim that Dante Raul Teodoro is notable and he has done a lot, has brought pride and honor for filipinos overseas, has been awarded and recognized in the field of business both in the Filipino and American community. |
