Thanks for the help, I was getting a bit confused there. --Alchemist Jack (talk) 00:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem. :) Willking1979 (talk) 00:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

User: ForeignFuxer:

ok thank you he/she is a possible sock--Dcheagle (talk) 01:29, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah...He messed around with my admin symbol earlier on this page...that was the last straw that helped force the block. Willking1979 (talk) 01:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
i can understand Ive been dealing with this guy all day.--Dcheagle (talk) 01:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I shall trout you

I shall trout you for your edit to Template:SortKey. You should always add protection templates inside <noinclude>...</noinclude> tags in templates. Debresser (talk) 11:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Not to mention that full protection seems overdoing things for a template that is transcluded on less than 20 pages and does not pertain to any "hot-item" content. Debresser (talk) 11:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

My bad...It was my first time doing that kind of protection and I apologize for the oversight. Willking1979 (talk) 12:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
No problem. Are you going to consider stepping down to semi-protection? You can make up to me by null-editing the 4 images from Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. That would help cleaning out the category, and I can't do it since I'm not an admin. Debresser (talk) 13:14, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
I may be busy in the next few...but I'll get to them ASAP. Willking1979 (talk) 13:39, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 Done. It was confusing at first, but it is done. Willking1979 (talk) 14:22, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. What did you find confusing? Debresser (talk) 17:11, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Whether or not I had to include text...I edited one image with "noinclude," but later reverted my own edit because the padlock disappeared on the original edit. After those two edits, the image did not appear in the category. On the last three images, I simply did not enter text but simply clicked on "Save page." Since then, the category is empty. Willking1979 (talk) 17:34, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
That's why I asked for a null-edit... :) Debresser (talk) 22:32, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
I've learned my lesson...thou shalt not put text on null edits. There is no such thing as a perfect admin...I learn as I go and go as I learn. :) Willking1979 (talk) 22:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Account Creation

I have no idea if i should ask this here put could i get you to great an account by the username Dcheagles--Dcheagle (talk) 19:40, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Have you tried this to create the account? If not, go here. Also, is this going to be used as a doppelganger account? Willking1979 (talk) 19:53, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
yes it will be a doppelganger account My brother wants to create anccount but he wants to use Dcheagels for his user name and i dont want that so i would like to great this account to keep him from doing. I just dont want edits to be confused between mine and his account. I will try the links you have giving me.--Dcheagle (talk) 20:00, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok ive created the account thank you for the help that you have giveing me have a nice day.--Dcheagle (talk) 20:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Also, I corrected the doppelganger wikilink above. :) Willking1979 (talk) 20:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

User:MarkLevin7

Just FYI, this account, which you created today, triggered an autoblock. I've lifted the autoblock, assuming in good faith that you believe this user should have an account. But you might want to take a look just to be on the safe side. Mangojuicetalk 18:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I looked at it earlier today and emailed the blocking admin about the situation. While I had concerns about this account, I went ahead, AGF'd, and created the account. I will monitor the account very closely. Willking1979 (talk) 18:52, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
FYI this user turned out to be the same returning vandal. Mangojuicetalk 05:21, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
I noticed...I had the user page and the talk page listed on my watchlist. My concerns turned out to be true. Willking1979 (talk) 09:38, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your help! Now I can continue reverting edits! RuneScape Adventure (talk) 00:32, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

That voodoo that you do

Hey friend. Could you use your shiny, new, mystic admin powers to move Simon Bolivar Buckner, Sr. to Simon Bolivar Buckner per a comment at the bottom of this FAC? The only disambiguation is to Buckner's son, which can be accomplished with a hatnote. Thanks. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 11:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

 Done. My shiny new powers still have the new mop smell. :) Willking1979 (talk) 12:32, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Gracias, amigo.' Always nice to have access to an admin for stuff like this. Keeps me from having to go through that baptism by fire myself. I'll just stick to writing articles. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 14:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

WWE Bragging Rights

Hey can i get you to protect a page for me its WWE Bragging Rights Vandles are driving me crazy.--Dcheagle (talk) 12:36, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Blocking user:Ignition IM

I'm not sure that ORGNAME encourages blocking new users the day they create an account, before they've caused any trouble, and without a warning. At any rate, this user had good intent, and created that userpage as part of filling out a strategic planning application. (if you look closely he's not advertising his services, he is offering what he knows how to do to help wikipedia.) Please unblock and suggest he get his account renamed. +sj+ 06:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

The way I saw the wording, it did appear that it was an advertisement. It was tagged as an ad (CSD G11) by Triplestop (talk · contribs) and I immediately deleted it. In my block message (as in all messages of that type), I did encourage that if he/she wanted wanted to change their username, they can post an unblock message stating so. If the user is indeed using this as an application, I will very strongly consider unblocking him/her. Have you been in contact with this user by email or has the user emailed OTRS about this? Willking1979 (talk) 09:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the unblock

I appreciate it!--Hi540 (talk) 12:35, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 12:40, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Protecting titles

Re Paola Rey (pornographic actress): where have you been for the last (I'm not sure but it must be at least 18 months)? We do not use {{pp-create}} to prevent article creation - see this: "it's not used to slap on a page by creating it and protecting it, but rather as the explanation for the new creation-protection system". It is now possible to protect a title which has no article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I was not aware about that. My apologies...I have been an admin for the past couple weeks or so. Willking1979 (talk) 15:28, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

"Knit" picking

Take a look at the article history on Murray State University. In particular, notice how may times in the past few months IPs have added a notation to President Dunn's name that indicates that he "likes to knit". I don't know what kind of lunacy hatched the goofy crusade to add this piece of trivia, although as an alum, I can imagine a few scenarios! Anyway, reverting it is getting kind of annoying, but I don't really know what to do, since the edits come from varied IPs. Is semi-protection in order? Is there anything else we can do? Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 18:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Judging by the IP edits, I believe it is better to semi-protect the page due to the varying nature of the IP addresses, some of which belong to Murray State. I will go ahead and semi-protect the page for one month. After the one month protection, if the edits resume, I may have to start a sockpuppetry case or protect the page even longer. Willking1979 (talk) 18:54, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, dude. That's why they let you wield the big stick. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 19:55, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 20:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Deleted category

Would it be possible for you to merge the edit histories of a category and its talk page that you deleted with their replacements? An editor created Category:Sverige class coastal defence ships and then populated it while emptying Category:Sverige class coastal defense ships (the one you properly deleted) out of process. I have retagged the present category for two wikiprojects, but if you could also examine the deleted category talk page to ensure that there were no other WP tags, that would be most appreciated. Thanks. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

In addition to the two WikiProject tags in both versions, a WikiProject Sweden tag was also included in the deleted version. You may want to include that in the current version as well. Willking1979 (talk) 22:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for that bit of information, but are you able to do the history merge? — Bellhalla (talk) 10:46, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
I could not find a move tab on the category page... I tried undeleting and redeleting the page, but cannot move the page. Willking1979 (talk) 11:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
OK, well thanks for trying. Cheers. — Bellhalla (talk) 14:02, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Cheers to you too. :) Willking1979 (talk) 14:03, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Again.

Thanks again for helping me! I have a question, I already got an IP Address. Why do I have to do it again? I thought it would last for the like history for this user. Thanks again! RuneScape Adventure 01:17, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure...could be collateral damage. Next time it happens, consider requesting an IP block exemption. More information about this can be found here. Willking1979 (talk) 01:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! That helps a lot, but do you have to follow directions in that IP block exemption article? RuneScape Adventure 01:29, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes...you must follow the instructions listed in the article next time you are autoblocked. IP block exemptions are given to those who have been trusted not to abuse the exemption. Willking1979 (talk) 01:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Warnings

Hi. I was issued with a couple of warnings in error by the users Ertemplin and Runescape Adventure. The latter has suggested that I contact you to have them reverted. I tried to revert them myself by deleting the text from my talk page, but I'm not at all sure that that's the right way to do it... Help please? Clicriffhard (talk) 00:15, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I believe you did the right thing by removing the text. If you need any further help, leave me a message. Thanks, Willking1979 (talk) 00:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Will.Clicriffhard (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 09:13, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: Thanks again. =) I have no idea who that is, which I find kind of funny. Just one of the hundreds (thousands?) of vandals that I've blocked. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

This may be a clue to who this vandal really was. Willking1979 (talk) 20:44, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Unresolved mediation

I noticed that on 24 September you deleted User:Matheuler following his request and would like to ask your advice. He had kindly offered to mediate an ongoing edit problem that I thought was resolved, but now it's returned and we need help. When you have time, would you please take a look at Talk:Donghu and give me your opinion? Should I request help from another mediator or administrator? Thanks. Keahapana (talk) 20:40, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure what happened to Matheuler...he has not edited since September 23. I simply noticed that his userspace pages were on the speedy deletion list and went ahead and deleted them. Although I do have a history degree, my personal strength is in US history. While I appreciate you asking me for assistance, in my view you should ask an experienced mediator and/or administrator to resolve this case. Thanks for all you do, Willking1979 (talk) 20:53, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll follow your advice. Keahapana (talk) 00:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Signpost: 5 October 2009

user:87.252.167.254

This user, who you blocked on September 26 for "Personal attacks or harassment", has returned, and his only edits since his block have been to continue his harassment, by reverting edits and templating articles edited by myself, and by User:Hellbus. Hellbus and I were also the targets of this IP address's previous harassment as seen here and here. WuhWuzDat 21:52, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Just reblocked him for one week. I hope he learns his lesson after his block expires. If not, he/she will be blocked for much longer and an abuse report may be filed with the ISP. Willking1979 (talk) 22:02, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. WuhWuzDat 22:03, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm sadly unsurprised that this user has continued being unconstructive. As for learning his lesson, I have my doubts. This user has been blocked many times on multiple IPs with no significant change in behavior, except perhaps that he doesn't put a space before exclamation marks anymore. Hellbus (talk) 18:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Hellbus: Do you have any diffs showing the sockpuppetry? If so, I'll consider opening an SPI case. Willking1979 (talk) 18:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
See User talk:JeremyA/Archive11#Your block of 78.130.205.196 and the section right below it. Since that time, 217.10.252.131 and 80.80.132.156 also edited in a strikingly similar fashion (tendentious editing, article ownership, near-incomprehensible grammar, trolling). I wouldn't be surprised if those and the ones listed on JeremyA's talk page were all proxies used by the same individual. In the words of Henry David Thoreau, "Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk."Hellbus (talk) 01:03, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Just filed a SPI/Checkuser case here. Hopefully we'll have more answers as the case progresses. Willking1979 (talk) 11:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
That case was declined due to most of the IPs being inactive for a relatively long period of time. Doing an open proxy check might do more good, but I don't know how to do that. Hellbus (talk) 02:59, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

TalkBack, Dawn News

Hi. You deleted a page title "TalkBack, Dawn News". It still shows up though in the search engines such as google and yahoo and wikipedia itself and says it was deleted. Can you remove this page entirely from the web? If you can do so that would be great!! It causes great confusion! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.20.29.116 (talk) 08:31, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

We have no control over the search engines...their bots index pages every so often and from time to time they crawl a Wikipedia entry which was later deleted. However, you can ask Google and Yahoo to remove the entry from its results. Thanks, Willking1979 (talk) 09:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

24.196.232.201

Got another Dingbat2007 sock who is causing problems on the WAGA-TV article. It was just an addition of a errant "1" on the page (still vandalism), but normally the start of something. You were the blocking admin previously, would you mind having a look? Thanks...NeutralHomer • Talk • 22:07, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

There is only one warning at this time. I am waiting until the user edits again before I would block or take other actions. I will monitor the page carefully as well. Willking1979 (talk) 22:17, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Erm... oops

Earlier you very kindly deleted Sex Panic! based on my G7 tag. I thought I was tagging the user subpage on which I created it, not realizing I'd moved it from there to mainspace and that clicking on the subpage link was redirecting me to the page in article space. Fail. Would you be able to restore the article? Having gone to the trouble of getting the thing ready for a GA nom I feel a bit silly having it obliterated. Gonzonoir (talk) 13:56, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done. Restoration of all edits complete...speedy tag removed from article upon restoration of all edits. Willking1979 (talk) 14:00, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. FYI, there is some discussion on this at ANI: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#blanking_my_user_space. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 10:49, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome...after a few edit conflicts, I made my comments on the matter on ANI. Willking1979 (talk) 11:01, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

edit conflict

I do not think you should have deleted an article as lacking context or content when it is in the first stages of being written, less the 30 minutes after it was started . As it happens, I was just moving HIV Protease Inhibitors: Drug Discovery and Development to a modified title at the same time you were deleting it, so there is now a copy of it at HIV Protease Inhibitors drug discovery and development I think this article is somewhat likely to be a problem, but I will work with the author. DGG ( talk ) 20:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

If there were improvement tags on the article at the time like there are now, I would have kept it. There are Wikipedians out there that see that type of article and proclaim "delete this article now." I believe that was the case earlier this morning--some editor jumped the gun and placed a speedy tag. Authors should place improvement or similar tags alongside the speedy or simply contest the speedy tag. If there are indeed reliable sources to back up the article in the coming days, it should be kept. However, if there is little or no improvement during this time period, the article should be up for deletion. Willking1979 (talk) 20:43, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

why man give it back or at least the info

why please give it back why you deleted my article man that wasnt kool it was a gift for someone and you just ruined it i thought you was all nice and christian i was raise in a christina church and they told us to be nice and peaceful and let every one have there mind not shut thme up for some unreason thing —Preceding unsigned comment added by Obed ceballos (talk • contribs) 22:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I did not delete the article--Gogo Dodo (talk · contribs) deleted it. You must plead your case to that user. In my view, the article fails the notability standard for Wikipedis. Willking1979 (talk) 22:16, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Which IPs did this user previously used? Willking1979 (talk) 23:53, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

On KEWI....

Also on unrelated page KDIS-FM and KKDD, there has been the same style vandalism over the same range. It might be necessary to go with a range block as well. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 00:00, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

While there is a clear pattern of vandalism in that range, and since there has been no vandalism from that specific IP since your warning, I would monitor the articles and the IP range for any further edits. Interestingly, none of those individual IPs have never been blocked. Willking1979 (talk) 00:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah they seem to vandalize and then disappear for awhile and come back under a different IP and do it again. I have two of the three articles on my watchlist, so we will be both watching them. Thanks for checking it out. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 00:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

This page was a verbatim quote taken from Physchim62's talk page, and I ask that it be restored. If he thinks his ridiculous attempts at dialog do him no credit, he shouldn't make these stupid remarks in the first place. I have added nothing, and subtracted nothing. Brews ohare (talk) 21:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I have restored the page per your request. However, I would strongly remind you to be civil in your discussions with Physchim62. Willking1979 (talk) 22:25, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
I assume you also will "strongly remind" Physchim62 to avoid comments like those outlined here and possibly suggest that stating my views are those who "believe in the Global Conspiracy" does not constitute "playing nice". Brews ohare (talk) 22:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Please see my ANI comments here. Willking1979 (talk) 22:38, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
CSD G10 was correct: the page serves no purpose but to disparage its subject. The material is available on my talk page, there is no reason to copy it onto a user page. I note that the following finding of fact has passed at ArbCom: "Brews ohare (talk · contribs) has edited disruptively, engaging in tendentious debates and soapboxing ([1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10])."

Need a bit of help

Currently there is focused vandalism going on at Dan Lashley. Several users are vandalizing and now trying to nominate the article for deletion just because of a dislike for the person. Literally that is the only reason they're doing this. I listed the main one for Administrator intervention against vandalism and since the person who sent the first 3 warnings hadn't listed them properly it was removed for insufficient warnings sent by a bot. It's been childish remarks and now adding Speedy Delete to the page when that has been denied several times. Just looking for help in stopping this. DX927 (talk) 16:49, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I went ahead and semi-protected the page for one week. I also noticed that the talk page has not been edited since June. Hopefully this one-week semi-protection (which disallows IPs and new editors from making changes) will help in improving the article and adding reliable sources.

Edits

Hi! I just changed my username and now I only have 23 edits. I am supposed to have over 1,500 edits. How can I restore my edits? By the way I am RuneScape Adventure.RSA23Sign! 22:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Because you're still logged in as "RuneScape Adventure". Log out, and then log in under your new name. –Katerenka ☆ 22:56, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Oh thanks! I thought I would lose my edits. RSA23Sign! 23:04, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert on my user page. Though I kind of liked being a bureaucrat. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:29, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Willking1979 (talk) 09:49, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Here we go again

This edit needs immediate attention, suggest changing the setting so that the IP is unable to edit own talk page on top of the block. Cheers~! --Dave1185 talk 01:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done. User's block settings changed so that he/she will not edit the talk page. Willking1979 (talk) 02:01, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome...cheers to you too. :) Willking1979 (talk) 02:16, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
