A direct quote from CK's latest subpage, written in the third-person:
"CoolKatt number 99999 is not someone whose edits you can revert on the spot. His edits are usually fully legit, and reverting such edits will draw the ire of him. Whereas, BenH usually makes edits that make no sense at all: like adding stub tags to non-stubs, poorly wrote sentences, etc. So, do not revert CoolKatt number 99999's edits without asking permission first." (retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolKatt_number_99999/What_CoolKatt_number_99999_is_not")

The Image:WSVN.png logo is the official logo of WSVN-TV just like the logo WHDH.png is of WHDH-TV. The 150px is a homemade generic logo created by Spotteddogsdotorg that does not have the official FCC identification of either station. I would advise you stop vandalism either articles with your nonsense before I report you an administator and have both pages locked from editing. Leonard23 11:50 24 June 2006 (UTC)
I think we should blow up the current RfC against CoolKatt and start up a new one, because it seems the current one will not result in some kind of resolution (unlike the BenH RfC). CoolKatt is again labelling my edits as vandalism (specifically on WKBS and WGTW) and something really needs to be done. This time, I would like to be the one starting up the RfC. I may even attempt to use mediation as well.
Here's one more gem from CK, from WKBS and WGTW: "!-- Do not remove the merge tag. Doing so is considerd vandalism. --" So, I guess that means anyone who removes HIS mandatory merge tags (or his worthless "trivia") is committing vandalism? You make the call. Rollosmokes 14:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey CFIF,
Some recent edits on your userpage and on this page indicate you want to run for adminship at some point, but that you feel you'll "sadly... never be an admin". You feel you wouldn't pass muster because you're not a "model Wikipedian". Clearly, your talk page indicates a history of incivility and other issues, but it's also clear you're working on that.
If you are interested in Adminship, I strongly encourage you, CFIF, to consider perhaps adding your name to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Programs#Admin_Coaching. Admin coaching can really get you whipped into editing shape and prepare you for an adminship, and by the time you are assigned a coach (it takes weeks, possibly months), you could be in a very different position than you currently are.
I hope you will not let past editing issues discourage you from wielding the mop some time in the future. There's no reason an editor with a somewhat checkered past can't become a very productive admin, since adminship is supposed to be "no big deal", and with the huge backlogs in many of the admin areas, we need more hands anyway.
Anyway, just some things to consider. Happy editing! :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 23:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I found that you have made this accusation of a WP:Point violation with out even the common courtesy of leaving a note on my talk page. I took a look into your history of this user and you seem to jump to conclusions rather quickly and without any conclusive evidence; something which I did unlike him acting like the boy who cries wolf. I hope you can give some insight on your standard of proof. On the various deletion pages I stated clear and valid reasons why the articles should be deleted and I have now placed this on my user page as well just to be clear. I do not have a bloody vendetta against all lists, just those which do not meet the established guidelines. I have encountered some pages of lists that I felt did not violate Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a directory. The purpose of deletions is to establish a consensus. How can a consensus be established if a user with out any real evidence screams that the nomination is in bad faith? This adds a bit of doubt to a perfectly valid nomination for deletion that was based on the established guidelines of Wikipedia. I feel that your behaviour is bordering on vandalism. If I decide to take further action I will at least have the common courtesy to leave you a message. Displaced Brit 18:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Do you know if there's any way to make the gallery section look better than it is now? I did it with two separate galleries because the infobox squashes it all the way down to the page bottom and puts the title heading way too high from the gallery (at least it looks that way in FF, IE and Opera).

Hey CFIF!
On Kpjas' RFA, you have voted oppose based on his apparent lack of commitment to Wikipedia, ("being here for 5 years and having less that 5000 article edits doesn't give me the impression that this user is committed to spending time on Wikipedia."). In fact, Kpjas is already an admin on the Polish Wikipedia, and has 37,000 edits there, including 2,600 to WP space over there. You have opposed based on lack of commitment to the Project, but these facts clearly indicate a sheer ton of commitment. CFIF, you want an experienced, dedicated for admin. Kpjas is clearly experienced and dedicated. Without badgering you, I urge you to reconsider your vote in this particular RfA. Happy editing! :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 00:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to the tropical cyclone Wikiproject! There are numerous ongoing projects that need work, including adding information for every storm in every seasonal article worldwide, as well as adding content to retired hurricane articles to bring them to Featured article status. However, any contributions you make, be it big or small, will be appreciated. Here's some pointers for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Dear Tropical cyclone editor,
As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.
Here's a copy of our latest monthly newsletter.
The Hurricane Herald
This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list.
Storm of the month
Severe Tropical Storm Bilis was a damaging tropical storm that caused significant damage to areas of southeastern China, the Philippines and Taiwan. The fourth named storm of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season formed to the east of the Philippines on July 8 and moved towards Taiwan, strengthening as it did so. It reached its peak strength of 110 km/h (70 mph) on July 13, shortly before it made its first landfall on northern Taiwan. Bilis then made a second landfall in Fujian, China on July 14 after officials evaucated over 1 million residents from the areas in the storm's path. The remnant lasted for several days after landfall and brought heavy rain to inland China. The most significant damage occurred in Hunan, where heavy flooding and mudslides destroyed over 31,000 homes and killed 345. Despite never reaching typhoon strength, the storm was responsible for $2.5 billion in damage and at least 625 fatalities in total.Other tropical cyclone activity
There were 10 other tropical cyclones worldwide in July, with activity in all 4 northern hemisphere basins.

Useful sources of tropical cyclone information
The following organizations provide helpful information for writing about tropical cyclones, both past and present.
In his April Tropical Cyclone Summary, Gary Padgett stated that he will extensively reference Wikipedia in his future summaries. I have communicated with him and he has stated that he is "very much interested in cooperating" with us. He has also provided me with a copy of Jack Beven's weekly summaries (covering 1991-1996). If you want a copy of them, email me.-- Nilfanion ( talk)
If you have any questions, feel to ask anywhere. Good luck with any future contributions, and see you around. Hurricanehink ( talk) 18:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Just wondering if you are in the industry or not, since you seem to make a lot of television related edits. I do, but I can't tell you who I work for and where, for obvious reasons.

You feel you wouldn't pass muster because you're not a "model Wikipedian". Clearly, your talk page indicates a history of incivility and other issues, but it's also clear you're working on that.
If you are interested in Adminship, I strongly encourage you, CFIF, to consider perhaps adding your name to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Programs#Admin_Coaching. Admin coaching can really get you whipped into editing shape and prepare you for an adminship, and by the time you are assigned a coach (it takes weeks, possibly months), you could be in a very different position than you currently are.
I hope you will not let past editing issues discourage you from wielding the mop some time in the future. There's no reason an editor with a somewhat checkered past can't become a very productive admin, since adminship is supposed to be "no big deal", and with the huge backlogs in many of the admin areas, we need more hands anyway.
Anyway, just some things to consider. Happy editing! :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 23:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks so much for voting, CFIF! Thanks so much for your support vote on my
request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future!— Mets501 ( talk) 03:47, 13 August 2006 (UTC) |

I found that you have made this accusation of a WP:Point violation with out even the common courtesy of leaving a note on my talk page. I took a look into your history of this user and you seem to jump to conclusions rather quickly and without any conclusive evidence; something which I did unlike him acting like the boy who cries wolf. I hope you can give some insight on your standard of proof. On the various deletion pages I stated clear and valid reasons why the articles should be deleted and I have now placed this on my user page as well just to be clear. I do not have a bloody vendetta against all lists, just those which do not meet the established guidelines. I have encountered some pages of lists that I felt did not violate Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a directory. The purpose of deletions is to establish a consensus. How can a consensus be established if a user with out any real evidence screams that the nomination is in bad faith? This adds a bit of doubt to a perfectly valid nomination for deletion that was based on the established guidelines of Wikipedia. I feel that your behaviour is bordering on vandalism. If I decide to take further action I will at least have the common courtesy to leave you a message. Displaced Brit 18:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
You remember Ben, right? Get a load of this: 71.2.17.3 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log).

A few months ago, you posted an opinion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations that you thought it was important to show the -LP and -CA suffixes in market boxes. I just placed a response opinion there, but wanted to ask why you attach such importance to that. I'm not looking for an argument; I just wish to understand your position better. Thanks. -- dhett 16:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Displaced Brit ( talk · contribs) has made personal attacks and has continued to stalk me.
I am in fear of retaliation for this call for help, so I am editing this anonymously in hopes he won't find out and jump on me for this. -- CFIF ☎ (as an anon IP) 19 August 2006

Do you know if there's any way to make the gallery section look better than it is now? I did it with two separate galleries because the infobox squashes it all the way down to the page bottom and puts the title heading way too high from the gallery (at least it looks that way in FF, IE and Opera). This is in 1024x768 BTW, I saw that it was normal in higher resolutions. Nate 22:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey CFIF!
On Kpjas' RFA, you have voted oppose based on his apparent lack of commitment to Wikipedia, ("being here for 5 years and having less that 5000 article edits doesn't give me the impression that this user is committed to spending time on Wikipedia."). In fact, Kpjas is already an admin on the Polish Wikipedia, and has 37,000 edits there, including 2,600 to WP space over there. You have opposed based on lack of commitment to the Project, but these facts clearly indicate a sheer ton of commitment. CFIF, you want an experienced, dedicated for admin. Kpjas is clearly experienced and dedicated. Without badgering you, I urge you to reconsider your vote in this particular RfA. Happy editing! :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 00:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to the tropical cyclone Wikiproject! There are numerous ongoing projects that need work, including adding information for every storm in every seasonal article worldwide, as well as adding content to retired hurricane articles to bring them to Featured article status. However, any contributions you make, be it big or small, will be appreciated. Here's some pointers for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Dear Tropical cyclone editor,
As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.
Here's a copy of our latest monthly newsletter.
The Hurricane Herald
This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list.
Storm of the month
Severe Tropical Storm Bilis was a damaging tropical storm that caused significant damage to areas of southeastern China, the Philippines and Taiwan. The fourth named storm of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season formed to the east of the Philippines on July 8 and moved towards Taiwan, strengthening as it did so. It reached its peak strength of 110 km/h (70 mph) on July 13, shortly before it made its first landfall on northern Taiwan. Bilis then made a second landfall in Fujian, China on July 14 after officials evaucated over 1 million residents from the areas in the storm's path. The remnant lasted for several days after landfall and brought heavy rain to inland China. The most significant damage occurred in Hunan, where heavy flooding and mudslides destroyed over 31,000 homes and killed 345. Despite never reaching typhoon strength, the storm was responsible for $2.5 billion in damage and at least 625 fatalities in total.Other tropical cyclone activity
There were 10 other tropical cyclones worldwide in July, with activity in all 4 northern hemisphere basins.

Useful sources of tropical cyclone information
The following organizations provide helpful information for writing about tropical cyclones, both past and present.
In his April Tropical Cyclone Summary, Gary Padgett stated that he will extensively reference Wikipedia in his future summaries. I have communicated with him and he has stated that he is "very much interested in cooperating" with us. He has also provided me with a copy of Jack Beven's weekly summaries (covering 1991-1996). If you want a copy of them, email me.-- Nilfanion ( talk)
If you have any questions, feel to ask anywhere. Good luck with any future contributions, and see you around. Hurricanehink ( talk) 18:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Just wondering if you are in the industry or not, since you seem to make a lot of television related edits. I do, but I can't tell you who I work for and where, for obvious reasons. But, as someone who is involved in broadcast journalism, don't forget sources, sources, sources! TV Newser 23:52, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
As previously reported at AN/I, Tywright ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is back to removing information on the Charlie Crist and Tom Gallagher pages after being warned multiple times, I think a block may be necessary. Maybe an indefblock for being a vandalism-only account would work. -- CFIF ☎ 12:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information; is there a reason you continue to include a list of non-notable data to this article? RadioKirk ( u| t| c) 14:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
