don't try to threaten me just because you can't fit through the doors of your favorite comic book store, even if you did delete me i will find a way back on to continue being what you whould call "disruptive". honestly if you have some problem with me or if wikipedia is the only place you feel your life has a point please just come out and say it instead of wasting my short free time. i will not make fun of you or any of your yuppie ideals because in a way i pity you and i know you'll only go and get your D&D buddies to try to increase your meddle, in short "How can I kill that which has no life". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deanostrodamus ( talk • contribs) 13:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
You reading of this situation is very different to mine, but nevertheless your solution is a sensible and practical one, given the circumstances. Thanks Gohdeilocks ( talk) 20:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Barneca, no I do not agree for changing the title of WP:ANI
Please leave the title as A request to Ban an abusive Sockpuppet User:Gohdeilocks Thank you, Igor Berger ( talk) 21:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, too many edit conflicts, I'm leaving messages for you at the same time you're leaving messages for me, and since I'm not up to speed with John Gohde I got lost anyway. I assume you both have my talk page watchlisted.

Barneca, I left a message for User_talk:John_Gohde#naturalhealthperspective.net Let him take a look at this, he knows these people very well. Thank you, Igor Berger ( talk) 23:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, its alright that it got closed... nothing is going to hurt my feelings, my friends insisted that i request it. and i kept saying im not ready, but i did anyways... there was no hurt, but thanks for caring
♥♦¢åŗđş♣♠ ( talk) 02:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. As you can imagine, I still feel really guilty that someone might have actually felt driven away from a website because of me. And when he commented on my talk page, I defended my decision instead of actually looking, which I imagine infuriated him further. I think I might stop keeping my eye on recent changes and just reverting vandalism as and where I encounter it, since it's safer than trying to make quick decisions (and, of course, recent changes are patrolled by others too - leading to exactly this kind of situation where I revert another's genuine reversions because I didn't see the page inbetween). I also think I'm too unsympathetic to anonymous members, i.e. "any anonymous member who I even suspect of being a vandal is definitely a vandal". So I'll try and change that. But like you say, it's difficult... and trying to be active in reverting pages inevitably leads to errors. Thanks again for your comments, though. I hope he'll come back. -- RiverRubicon ( talk) 16:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting the vandalism there! IronGargoyle ( talk) 04:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Barneca, Appreciate that you are very busy, but am appealing to you to block the following user/editor for having vandalised the Count Basie article. Thanx. Technopat ( talk) 22:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
This issue was discussed at User talk:Jimbo Wales/Archive 31#Wikipedia surrendering users' info without a fight. It was stated there that it was not an appropriate discussion forum for the topic of how hard the Foundation should and did fight to prevent revealing the IP addresses of registered users to parties who had been criticized in a Wikipedia article and who subpoenaed the user information. I have started a discussion at the Village Pump policy page at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)# Releasing IP addresses of registered users: the Video Professor incident. Two other websites successfully avoided releasing the subpoenaed information. You did great work to try and resolve the drama at the Video Professor article in compliance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Your comments are welcome. Thanks. Edison ( talk) 05:18, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Barneca. I've sent you an e-mail message using the "E-mail this user" option. I hope you receved it. If not, please let me know and I'll repost it here. Regards, Nsk92 ( talk) 03:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
If people choose to be rude to me, it's their bad karma, not mine. What I see is User:Y calling User:Be best and User:W guice racist. It might be that he was actually calling their behaviour racist, but that doesn't make any difference. A person whose behaviour is racist is a racist. You cannot say that Hitler was not a racist, just his behaviour was. Hitler was a racist, and we can see that from his behaviour.
I will only drop this matter if an admin somehow blocks or bans me, or closes the discussion (whether with good reason or not). Because I'm just a normal user without any powers here. If they choose to do that, there's nothing I could do. But until they do that, I will keep saying that User:Y attacked other users personally without basis.
Do you remember that TV reporter saying (jokingly or not) that Tiger Woods should be lynched by the other players? If you don't know what I'm talking about, search news websites for this story. Woods has said that he has forgiven the reporter and wants to move on, but the Rev. Al Sharpton says her comment was hurtful to African Americans, and he will keep saying that even if it makes him unpopular. Yes, I'm unpopular for saying that User:Y should be demoted because he attacks other users personally. But being unpopular does not mean being wrong. Thank you for your kind message, but I'm sorry if I won't drop this matter until I'm banned or the discussion is closed by an admin. -- Koreanjason ( talk) 18:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Not at all. I saw a request at WP:SPLICE. Glad it is fixed as expected. :) - PeaceNT ( talk) 19:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
yeah, db-vandalism would work better. I didn't read the content to see what it was, so I just removed to speedy and changed to a construction temp. I changed it already to a db-vandalism. Thanks for pointing that out! Icestorm815 ( talk) 21:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there,
I just read your message on Dreamafter's page about adminship, I was about to wonder myself and ask you if you have been nominated for adminship, I will be looking out for your RFA, keep up the good work at WP:ACC!

I tried adding Miszabot to my talk page, but it didn't do anything. I see you have your talk page archived - would you be able to do what's necessary to mine, just to make it work. I can change any parameters like days or size to what suits me afterwards. Thank you in advance. -- Matthew Edwards | talk | Contribs 18:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

My friend, I wrote an article on Dohasan, and later discovered a stub had already been written. I have posted the notice required when one wants to incorporate a stub into a full article, and no one has answered, though it has been a good bit of time. How do I proceed from here, in terms of trying to get the stub merged with teh full article? I would really appreciate your help, and here is the link to the stub needing merging... [3] Thanks! By the way, you have my vote - no one on this project has earned admin status more than you have. JohninMaryland ( talk) 14:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on becoming an admin!

Hey, congratulations. Well-deserved. It's always nice to see the community correct its mistakes :) Enjoy the new buttons, and let me know if I can give you a hand with anything. You'll probably make some mistakes, but don't worry. When admins get in trouble it's because they don't ask for help beforehand, or refused to admit any fault afterward.

15:46, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
The answer is, of course, yes. I would consider a sincere assurance from Robin that he would not continue the vandalism sufficient for any admin to unblock, and would give one myself if I came across it. This comes, of course, with the caveat that an actual apology would make me feel much better about the odds that it might happen again.
I'm happy to comment / respond to any questions, but I don't insist on being kept up on this situation, as it seems pretty straightforward. But thanks for your consideration.

I've unblocked, per your note on my talk page earlier today. I'll keep an eye out, but I think the squall is over. --barneca (talk) 21:09, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that, it's not like me to falsely warn and report someone for vandalism. I suppose I clicked too hastily. I'm at work at the moment. It's just a real eye opener when you see disparaging comments in a biography of a living person (at least for me, that's a pet peeve of mine). Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It has been fixed, and the real user has been warned with a level 1. Wisdom89 ( T / C) 19:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I do think there are some over zealous 'policemen' here now. I do not have the time to put up many full articles, and often one has evolved. People have corrected English, improved the graphics and generally I thought this was the wiki spirit.
The SDS 930 article was like that. I had a few notes from when I worked on one in 1990, realising that the documents describing how transistors had an MTTF much better than valves meant transistors were the way to go, seemed funny at the time. I then realised that this was pivotal to hardware design. When I first created the wiki page it was threatened with speedy removal. I considered then I had to waste time defending it.
Anyway I am very busy now, so I wont be submitting articles. I do like the way you can lift TeX out of wiki though. That was well thought out.
I think that the 'speedy delete' police need some taming here.

No worries mate. Yes, it got a bit interesting there, with what I still feel are totally spurious "excuses" about dodgy broadband, emails from brothers, you name it. Normally a block for incivility's a bit simpler than that! I concur by the way with the people that said you aren't classed as "involved" if you apply a block following incivility to you, if the incivility is a response to your warning them in the first place (did that make sense?) I find the main thing around here is to CYA - follow process (but with due regard to WP:IAR) and you should be fine! Cheers, Tonywalton Talk 22:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

What do you think? Please leave a message on my talk page :)

Update your userpage "Other potentially useful information about me - I am not an admin, and if I did something to give you that impression, I'm sorry." :) Tim Vickers ( talk) 00:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Done and commented. Thanks -

The answer is, of course, yes. I would consider a sincere assurance from Robin that he would not continue the vandalism sufficient for any admin to unblock, and would give one myself if I came across it. This comes, of course, with the caveat that an actual apology would make me feel much better about the odds that it might happen again.
I'm happy to comment / respond to any questions, but I don't insist on being kept up on this situation, as it seems pretty straightforward. But thanks for your consideration.

I've unblocked, per your note on my talk page earlier today. I'll keep an eye out, but I think the squall is over. --barneca (talk) 21:09, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that, it's not like me to falsely warn and report someone for vandalism. I suppose I clicked too hastily. I'm at work at the moment. It's just a real eye opener when you see disparaging comments in a biography of a living person (at least for me, that's a pet peeve of mine). Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It has been fixed, and the real user has been warned with a level 1. Wisdom89 ( T / C) 19:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I do think there are some over zealous 'policemen' here now. I do not have the time to put up many full articles, and often one has evolved. People have corrected English, improved the graphics and generally I thought this was the wiki spirit.
The SDS 930 article was like that. I had a few notes from when I worked on one in 1990, realising that the documents describing how transistors had an MTTF much better than valves meant transistors were the way to go, seemed funny at the time. I then realised that this was pivotal to hardware design. When I first created the wiki page it was threatened with speedy removal. I considered then I had to waste time defending it.
Anyway I am very busy now, so I wont be submitting articles. I do like the way you can lift TeX out of wiki though. That was well thought out.
I think that the 'speedy delete' police need some taming here.

Hey! Time to delete ACC, it's been 5 days now! Thanks, SQLBot ( talk) 17:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey Barneca, thanks for the message - I replied on my talk page if you're interested. This isn't the first time it's happened. These IPs are all the same user with a penchant for willfully blanking all of those templates. Wisdom89 ( T / C) 20:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
You gonna give that guy a warning too, or am I going to have to contact a proper administrator-- Hammerandclaw ( talk) 22:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I know what I mean, and it isn't ISP. I should not, and will not have to apologise for anything, let alone to nh.jg, and plus it seems he has retired from Wikipedia anyway. Thank you for your technical advice, I appreciate that, but if I want a lesson on online courtesy, I shall retrieve it from the help desk. Good day to you.-- Hammerandclaw ( talk) 10:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
You haven't even linked the right page, I'm not on this one!!!!!--

You're doing excellent work. :) I can tell because you had to semi-protect your talk page. MastCell Talk 20:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
No worries mate. Yes, it got a bit interesting there, with what I still feel are totally spurious "excuses" about dodgy broadband, emails from brothers, you name it. Normally a block for incivility's a bit simpler than that! I concur by the way with the people that said you aren't classed as "involved" if you apply a block following incivility to you, if the incivility is a response to your warning them in the first place (did that make sense?) I find the main thing around here is to CYA - follow process (but with due regard to WP:IAR) and you should be fine! Cheers, Tonywalton Talk 22:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello. Next time, please be careful when removing requests from WP:ACC. Just a few minutes ago, you removed the directions as well. If you are to reply, please do so on my talk page. Thanks. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
All in good fun! I keep a mental list of absurd groups. I keep a mental list of a lot of absurd things. If only I could control these thoughts... Justin (Gmail?) (u) 22:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I like to cangradulate you for becoming an admin. I hope it is good for you doing the job. Igor Berger ( talk) 07:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
It appears [1] my faith was misplaced. I've reverted back to your indefblock. Thanks for letting me try. --barneca (talk) 15:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Some guy spammed you. Looks like I saved your ass.-- Hammerandclaw ( talk) 18:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Semi break isn't it? Not that I want a Barnstar, especially. You might need to watch yourself MastCell, a lot of wierd stuff going on, you don't want anything to happen to you.-- Hammerandclaw ( talk) 20:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
