Hello, you just left a warning on my talk page for vandalizing another editor's talk page. If you wouldn't mind looking again, I think you'll see that the IP blanked his/her own talk page to remove the warnings I had left. Thank you, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 00:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I'm assuming that warning you left on my talk page was for the unregistered user causing the vandalism? Regards, RaseaC ( talk) 00:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
With this edit you left a warning for me when the edit you indicated in the warning was clearly made by someone else. As a matter of fact, I reverted the edit in question. I know VandalProof has its bugs (I used to use it), but I just thought I'd let you know. If you're looking into a less buggy vandal fighting application I'd recommend Huggle (I personally like it loads better than I ever liked VP.)-- Dycedarg ж 00:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
You left a warning on my talk page stating that my edit to Talk:George W. Bush was a vandalism and has been reverted. You have made a mistake. The edit you reverted was indeed vandalism, but it was not my edit, but rather done by 67.232.82.180

On what grounds do you make this charge? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spitzer19 ( talk • contribs) 05:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
First of all, I have complied with the 3 revert rule after I edited more than 3 times by mistake, unlike Boodlesthecat but for some reason he seems to get a free pass. Secondly, the discussion regarding this is actually in my favor. All Boodlesthecat and a 1 or 2 others 2 is repeat the same discredited argument again and again. The sources mention nothing of David Duke being someone who tries to revive Nazism, just that he was a Nazi as a teenager. Because others have passed by and agree with me does not mean that they are me. I'm sure if someone checks their IP's they probably live hundreds of miles away from me and even if they don't did certainly did not use my PC and I have no idea who they are. Perhaps you people should show some more appropriate conduct for an Encyclopedia and have David Duke removed because the sources are either biased or mention nothing about him trying to revive Nazism and block Boodlesthecat for a certain term of time for his repeated violation of the 3 revert rule.-- Spitzer19 ( talk) 13:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Why is it nobody has blocked user Boodlesthecat when he has repeatedly violated the 3 revert rule after being warned?
This sentence needs to be removed "according to their official website they will be continuing the 'Cougar' name with the 'Ford Kuga' in 2008" from the ford cougar section.

This is the best thing that can possibly done for wikipedia. To avoid an American way of looking at the world and to cover places evenly. The article you tagged is likely to be as adequate a settlement as any of the thousands of articles on small settlements in the various states of America and Canada that exist on wikipedia.
Given the very large size of some of these central asian countries, the fact we only had 10 articles a few weeks back shows how uneven the coverage is on here. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 23:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Well it will be kept as an article on any settlement. Ther eis even a notice at the afd page that articles on any settlement has a claim to notability. Try reading Wikipedia:Notability (Places and transportation). If you can't see that we are missing many articles like Karakol then thats your problem ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 23:55, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't know why you are trying to make out as if I am trying to find an excuse. Not at all. If you want to waste your time taking it to afd to hear that an article with three map sources is valid then go ahead. I think it would be a real eye opener for you to see what these places really look like and not the hamlet of two houses that you seem to be imagining. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 00:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Did I say that the articles on small villages in America and Canada shouldn't have articles??

Some-one did vandalize my article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sainik1/J3HaaD
But everything's undone now. Thanks for the message :) Is there any way that I can avoid this other than logging repeatedly to check my article every 2-hours? -- Sainik1 ( talk) 22:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. I will, of course, be glad to revisit the AFD on that article. I can't do it immediately, but will sometime in the next 24 hours or so work for you? - Philippe | Talk 21:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, I've spend some time really looking into that, and have come to the conclusion that I must have been daft. You're right, there was no consensus to delete. I've undeleted and restored it. Since someone had requested that I userfy it, I've actually un-userfied it, but it's back to its original location. I strongly encourage a merge in this case, but I'm declaring the RfA invalid, because of my bad call on the closure. Further attempts to RfA it should be considered independent, and to that extent I've left a comment on the RfA page.
I'd like to thank you for the courtesy you showed in addressing this, and again apologize for the time it took to get back to you. Best wishes, - Philippe | Talk 04:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I understand your concerns. Generally a user with two cases of vandalism wouldn't be blocked, but I decided that because his first two edits consisted of vandalism and he showed no remorse, an indefinite block would be a good way to end the vandalism. I reasoned that if he requested unblocking on his talk page and was sincere, (showing that he actually cared and wasn't a vandalism only account) then he would probably be unblocked and would contribute positively from then on. If he didn't request to be unblocked (like what happened), then it would be shown he was acting in poor faith.
Now that I do look back on the whole situation, I think my whole reasoning was slightly skewed. I should have used a 24 hour block and waited instead. Thank you for catching that and bringing it to my attention so that next time I'll think in a better manner. For that, I present to you this:

Hi, you placed an vandalism warning on my talk page. I accidentally double posted something which I personally wrote, which I then deleted. If I deleted something I shouldn't have, my mistake and I am sorry, I am simply going through the very tedious task of amassing evidence for a AfD. thanks for your diligence in checking recent edits for vandalism. this is the second time someone has accidentally thought my edits were vandalism. If necessary, Can you show me the edit differences? Please message me or email me to clear up any misunderstandings and resolve this issue to both our satisfaction.

Hi !
Please see this !
I don't know what tool you were using to do this, and if you maintain it or not. But it actually appended a message on a redirection page instead of the target page, and it is a little bug :)

Thanks for having requested an editor review. A month has passed since it has been posted there, and it has been archived. You can find it at Wikipedia:Editor review/BigHairRef/Archive 2, where you may read last minute additions. We would really appreciate your help in reviewing a random editor.
If you want to talk about your review, I'll be watchlisting your review page for a time. If you request feedback later and aren't sure if I'm watchlisting it, you can check my editor reviews still being monitored section on my userpage to see if I'm watching yours, or just take the bull by the horns and leave me a note at my talk page. :D (Actually, you can do that at any time.) Happy editing. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:33, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Big Hair,
Intrepidity is not a misspelling. Type it into Wiktionary; the definition given is The quality of being intrepid; bravery. The word also occurs in plenty of Wikipedia articles. It is a valid redirect.
Neelix ( talk) 00:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Is it normal to Huggle-tag a page that's only been up for ~1 minute? I've never seen something go up that quick. Yes, it is a short article and has all the flaws attributed to it (although the reason there's no footnote is that, essentially, all the information currently on the page is from the source listed), you could at least give a guy a chance to put up more than a placeholder. Perhaps you could give me some guidance here? Dewelar ( talk) 02:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Dude, you need to chill out with adding speedy deletes automatically, it's uncivil and cause for conflict - or it simply drives newbie editors away, frustrated. There are appropriate times to add speedy deletes, but many of the ones your doing (literally within seconds of the article being posted) are inappropriate.

Hi, I think you should re read the piece I put up on Power-Plate. I do not believe it reads as an advert, and I think that if you feel that way you should edit it rather than delete. I have commented in the discussion page. There are multiple articles here on the topic of exercise equipment, and I do not see how this is any different. Daviegold ( talk) 09:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
You put on a dated prod which the article creator removed, so when I saw it it was then untagged for anything. I speedied it since it appears to be a neologism unsupported by references to the phrase, rather than the "outrages", and was clearly being used as a platform.

That is an old instruction that really needs updating. I'll try to get to it in a couple of days.

MBisanz talk 09:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
I've taken a quick look at you as well... there are a few things. First, because of the backlog at Admin Coaching, the few coaches that are looking, a are a little more selective right now. I do like your going in search of a coach, that's a good thing. But I doubt if you will get a coach right now. I do have some advice for you:
Chazzwazzer is a reference to the Aussie term for Bullfrogs from the Simpsons episode Bart vs Australia. Not a misspelling. Please remove the deletion and find something better to do with your time than nitpick redirects.
Why exactly have you marked User talk:Aaron Brenneman/Wanking/Arbitration Committee/Requests for arbitration:C68-FM-SV for speedy deletion?

Sorry about that! its been a long day and when i get not only a trivia section but a trivia section who's main points include "the bands logo is a banana" i get a tad peeved. but thanks for pointing out the lack of civility, i'll try and calm down a tad!

Some-one did vandalize my article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sainik1/J3HaaD
But everything's undone now. Thanks for the message :) Is there any way that I can avoid this other than logging repeatedly to check my article every 2-hours? -- Sainik1 ( talk) 22:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. I will, of course, be glad to revisit the AFD on that article. I can't do it immediately, but will sometime in the next 24 hours or so work for you? - Philippe | Talk 21:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, I've spend some time really looking into that, and have come to the conclusion that I must have been daft. You're right, there was no consensus to delete. I've undeleted and restored it. Since someone had requested that I userfy it, I've actually un-userfied it, but it's back to its original location. I strongly encourage a merge in this case, but I'm declaring the RfA invalid, because of my bad call on the closure. Further attempts to RfA it should be considered independent, and to that extent I've left a comment on the RfA page.
I'd like to thank you for the courtesy you showed in addressing this, and again apologize for the time it took to get back to you. Best wishes, - Philippe | Talk 04:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I understand your concerns. Generally a user with two cases of vandalism wouldn't be blocked, but I decided that because his first two edits consisted of vandalism and he showed no remorse, an indefinite block would be a good way to end the vandalism. I reasoned that if he requested unblocking on his talk page and was sincere, (showing that he actually cared and wasn't a vandalism only account) then he would probably be unblocked and would contribute positively from then on. If he didn't request to be unblocked (like what happened), then it would be shown he was acting in poor faith.
Now that I do look back on the whole situation, I think my whole reasoning was slightly skewed. I should have used a 24 hour block and waited instead. Thank you for catching that and bringing it to my attention so that next time I'll think in a better manner. For that, I present to you this:

I'd recommend skipping such notification for bot accounts (or at least for those whose bot status can be inferred from the last three letters or so of their account names...). Alai ( talk) 02:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I merely removed my own comments. Surely you don't object to that?-- S7740 ( talk) 02:38, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I own the copyright to my own comments and therefore have the right to remove them from the internet.-- S7740 ( talk) 02:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I see you already know this is a bot account, but I don't know if you're aware that the notification has been placed on a redirect page, and is hence not even visible.
Might it be a good idea to amend whatever process you use for notifications to either follow or ignore redirects? — the Sidhekin ( talk) 10:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for looking after my archive. Ty 15:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, you placed an vandalism warning on my talk page. I accidentally double posted something which I personally wrote, which I then deleted. If I deleted something I shouldn't have, my mistake and I am sorry, I am simply going through the very tedious task of amassing evidence for a AfD. thanks for your diligence in checking recent edits for vandalism. this is the second time someone has accidentally thought my edits were vandalism. If necessary, Can you show me the edit differences? Please message me or email me to clear up any misunderstandings and resolve this issue to both our satisfaction. Trav ( talk) 04:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi !
Please see this !
I don't know what tool you were using to do this, and if you maintain it or not. But it actually appended a message on a redirection page instead of the target page, and it is a little bug :)
Also, if you are able to whitelist DumZiBoT, I'd be grateful.
Thanks ! NicDumZ ~ 16:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I undid your undo of my edits to the Gundam 00 character article, as there was no explanation of how or why it is vandalism. This seems to be a fairly regular occurence with your bot, judging from this talk page. Please use more prudence in the future, or work on a better AI for your ill-mannered bot =P 69.243.158.192 ( talk) 11:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I have constantly worked on a page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sainik1/J3HaaD , I have made on my team for the last few weeks. After loads of editing, I think it is finally ready to get uploaded on the actual encyclopedia. Could you help me in this matter? What is the actual procedure? -- Sainik1 ( talk) 23:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for having requested an editor review. A month has passed since it has been posted there, and it has been archived. You can find it at Wikipedia:Editor review/BigHairRef/Archive 2, where you may read last minute additions. We would really appreciate your help in reviewing a random editor.
If you want to talk about your review, I'll be watchlisting your review page for a time. If you request feedback later and aren't sure if I'm watchlisting it, you can check my editor reviews still being monitored section on my userpage to see if I'm watching yours, or just take the bull by the horns and leave me a note at my talk page. :D (Actually, you can do that at any time.) Happy editing. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:33, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Big Hair,
Intrepidity is not a misspelling. Type it into Wiktionary; the definition given is The quality of being intrepid; bravery. The word also occurs in plenty of Wikipedia articles. It is a valid redirect.

Is it normal to Huggle-tag a page that's only been up for ~1 minute? I've never seen something go up that quick. Yes, it is a short article and has all the flaws attributed to it (although the reason there's no footnote is that, essentially, all the information currently on the page is from the source listed), you could at least give a guy a chance to put up more than a placeholder. Perhaps you could give me some guidance here? Dewelar ( talk) 02:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Dude, you need to chill out with adding speedy deletes automatically, it's uncivil and cause for conflict - or it simply drives newbie editors away, frustrated. There are appropriate times to add speedy deletes, but many of the ones your doing (literally within seconds of the article being posted) are inappropriate.

Easy there tiger.. the page just wasn't quite ready yet.. its better now, although it needs some work! i put some info on the guy, last time i checked, being one of the largest importers of cocaine from columbia in the 1970-80's is notable.. so delete that stupid speedy delete tag.. bully Bambinn ( talk) 02:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi - please note that G4 only applies if the article was deleted at AfD, not via speedy or prod. See WP:CSD. In the case of Velocity scene, it should have been tagged A7 again. Regards, Bencherlite Talk 08:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Зияющие Высоты got tagged CSD R3, but it's exempt from R3 as a link from the common title in another language. It may have gotten tagged because I had forgotten about Template:R from alternative language until I read the R3 criteria. -- Closeapple ( talk) 09:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I think you should re read the piece I put up on Power-Plate. I do not believe it reads as an advert, and I think that if you feel that way you should edit it rather than delete. I have commented in the discussion page. There are multiple articles here on the topic of exercise equipment, and I do not see how this is any different. Daviegold ( talk) 09:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
You put on a dated prod which the article creator removed, so when I saw it it was then untagged for anything. I speedied it since it appears to be a neologism unsupported by references to the phrase, rather than the "outrages", and was clearly being used as a platform.

Hi BigHairRef, can you please remove the speedy deletion warning on 'Huangshan Longevity Tea'? Edits have been made to answer commonly asked questions about the online store's origins and the history of the ancient street. Gusniles ( talk) 11:35, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

That is an old instruction that really needs updating. I'll try to get to it in a couple of days. And yes there is a backlog, primarily because no admins want to be coaches, so at this point all I can advise is to toy around with Other Options and wait it out. Sorry I can't be more positive atm. MBisanz talk 09:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
I've taken a quick look at you as well... there are a few things. First, because of the backlog at Admin Coaching, the few coaches that are looking, a are a little more selective right now. I do like your going in search of a coach, that's a good thing. But I doubt if you will get a coach right now. I do have some advice for you:
Chazzwazzer is a reference to the Aussie term for Bullfrogs from the Simpsons episode Bart vs Australia. Not a misspelling. Please remove the deletion and find something better to do with your time than nitpick redirects.
Why exactly have you marked User talk:Aaron Brenneman/Wanking/Arbitration Committee/Requests for arbitration:C68-FM-SV for speedy deletion?
You realise that this is the talk page to a userpage created by User:Aaron Brenneman as he is trying to figure out his thoughts on a current arbcom case? What exactly did I write that makes you think this is an attack page? I will look forward to your response. Risker ( talk) 04:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
This is the startings of a good article, but I was holding off diving in and cleaning it up in order to try and get the history rescued.

Thank you for your support at my RFA, which has closed as a success. I note that you initially supported me because Kurt opposed, along with some latin gobbledygook (res ipsum loqitor?). I must confess that I don't know any latin - I just ad lib. Seriously though, your support (both initial silly one and the more thoughtful one that followed on from it) does mean a lot to me, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
