I hope you dont mind but I went through his controibs and absolutely nothing but vandalism, so I indefblocked. Glen 14:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
User:Aquarelle and I caught his vandalism days ago, and he is now attacking our user pages. Are there any way to indefinitely block an IP? Arbiteroftruth 22:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Many thanks. Arbiteroftruth 23:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Look at Students in Harry Potter's Year, Harry Potter characters birthday list, and the project page. Take a look at the issue, and contribute. Whether you disagree or disagree, it is vital that these issues are decided by editors who are familiar with Harry Potter and who are capable of deciding upon the worth of the articles, rather than editors who clearly have deep contempt for it and no real understanding of the subject. Please intervene. Michaelsanders 22:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I asked another admin to restore the article to my space but I'll ask you as well. I have the sources needed to allow it to pass muster and I want to do a quick rework before republishing the article. Thanks. NegroSuave 19:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the support and I will keep your suggestions in mind. I am working through my research on psychopaths and it starts with Hare; in the end I hope to demonstrate a balance between what Hare says and what other researchers have come up with. In the meantime I feel that your criticism is entirely valid. Best regards, Moomot 18:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello Deathphoenix, wondering if you'd check out a littler situation at Harry Potter fandom and Talk:Harry Potter fandom#Discussing whether we should add this: --Please do not add a site here without first discussing it on Talk:Harry Potter fandom first. Thank you.-- with User:Carhonda. S/he reverted an edit you made which removed a NN fansite without being discussed. I then pointed the user in the direction of the comment at the bottom directing people to the talk page to discuss, and the user removed the comment and set up a straw poll discussing whether to include the comment on the article, almost WP:POINT-ish. I reinstated the comment and responded to the user on the article talk page. Mind investigating? Thanks. -- Fbv 65 e del / ☑t / ☛c || 21:40, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the reporting of that blocked username today. There was nothing on the userpage or talk page to signify the block had been applied and I didn't think to go check the block log this time. ju66l3r
Since you blocked User:Mdey33 recently, I wonder if you'd mind also looking at User:Ajent, whose purpose also seems to be vandalism. Is there a more appropriate way to handle these complaints than sending them to a random admin? Wahkeenah 01:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I know that I should keep my signature simple, but the simple fact of the matter is that I am lazy. If I want to find my previous edits on any page, I can scroll down quickly and find them due to the giant black bar with red (searching for "shark" or "sharkface" using the find button actually takes longer most of the time).

Thanks for that advice. I thought it was inappropriate username, that's all. -- SunStar Net talk 17:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
You've removed this IP from the vandalism list without taking action. Can you make a suggestion about how to best proceed then? If you look at the extensive sock report provided or the Vladimir Lenin article history for the last few days and the effort this person has taken to circumvent due process, you'll see that something should be done. Rklawton 21:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Regarding User:Justin67, I must ask you to look at his edits. Using inflammatory language like "Hindu fascists" in WP:LEAD repeatedly is highly vandalistic [3], particularly since he keeps repeating it. If it was only once then fine, but twice? Rumpelstiltskin223 03:39, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I’m writing a few admins because I’ve seen your good work on WP:AIV. Is there any chance WP:RFI could get some love? I know RFI is a lot more work, but it’s no less important.

Yeah, I couldn't keep up with User:216.79.182.147 He/she and User:216.79.174.100 were vandalising Zeus too fast for me to keep up with warnings. BTW, look at these edits (vandalism) to Benedict Arnold this morning, all within 12 minutes:
I was just about to report them when they stopped, both have only vandalized Zeus, neither has any other edits. - Dan D. Ric 16:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
I reported User:Samantha Dean for vandalism (persistent content removal from Paternity fraud which I arrived at via a recent changes patrol) and you removed the report from the board without taking action (because you believed it was a content dispute) and I'd like to understand why because it seems to me that there's no point in doing recent changes patrols if vandals who persist in obvious content removal despite repeated requests and then warnings to stop are allowed to do whatever they want. It seems that the processes for trying to deal with vandals are useless (especially if the vandal retrospectively, after they're issued with a final warning, pretends they're not vandalising). I've watched this page so feel free to reply here if you choose to try to help me understand. Thank you for your time. :-) Random Passer-by 16:03, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I always assumed that Wiki had a bot that welcomed people on the talk page of the new accounts in which had links to the Wiki's policies, help pages, Tutorial, etc... and is signed by administrator (like how Death Eater Dan did for me).In this way welcoming them before other temperamental editors scare them away. I'm I mistaken? If so, why doesn't Wiki have a bot that would generate this type of message when new account is created? ( Duane543 16:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC))
You have more patience than I. Feel free to take whatever actions you deem appropriate. - Big Brother 1984 17:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Deathphoenix, it wa spartly my fault on this matter. I misread a final warning, thinking it was issued today, but it was issued days ago (for which the IP did get banned for). The user blanked pages and added insulting references. Arbiteroftruth 19:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
You wrote on my talk page:
Thanks for the message. I don't use that option in VandalProof (when I use VandalProof), so that didn't cause the problem. I did run into a WP server "zero bytes returned" error a time or two, and perhaps my resubmissions after those errors caused the duplicates. At any rate, I'll watch more closely to try to not send any duplicates. Thanks again for the heads-up!
-- JFreeman (talk) 20:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
You are right there: Harry simply notices that the ring is no longer on the table, and no explanation is given for its location. I think I assumed that Dumbledore had given some sort of indication that he had moved it (which is what happens when I don't pay close enough attention to the sources), whereas in fact, we have no indication of its current whereabouts, except that it is NOT on the table where Harry last saw it (it's probably in a cupboard in the office, to be honest). I'll change that to fix it (i.e. to 'its current location is unknown'). Michaelsanders 17:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

There are three proposals which need some comments. Please weigh in:
Two of the three are sensitive, and thuglas is taking the whole process personally. Finally, there has never been a standard for how much support is needed for the creation of a barnstar. The LGBT star went up with seven votes, and thuglas is threatening to post his star when he gets ten supportive votes. Thoughts? -- evrik ( talk) Barnstar]]

Hi,
One of my articles (Dissident Sound System) was deleted recently before I had chance to bring it in line with wikipedia's guidelines. I would be very grateful if you could let me know how to get hold of the original text again so that I can resubmit it and make it acceptable to wikipedia's rules.

I made an AN/I post and suggested the page be locked for a few weeks. Someone needs to round up the forces of light and goodness involved in antivandalism and edit some of these AV pages though.

to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.sorry I didn't know how to message you in another way. I'd ask you to review and control the acts of one of wikipedia contributors, who delete even scientific or documented articles only because of his personal interests and practically vandalizing the wikipedia.. And his answer is “every1 on wikipedia is equal, if you are older or have more qualifications it really doesnt mean anything here.” The example of the page http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Michael_Jackson&oldid=154591006 , the "illness or dream project" could explain what I would ask you to direct. He deletes the article only because his a fan of Michael Jackson, and has no interest in facts that could be reflected in there. regards T2345 19:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Firstly we already no why michael Jacksons skin colour is white, it came out in court documents during his trial, this wish wash babble he talks of means nothing. Oh I didnt realise his english was lacking, shame I guess where ever he comes from they probably dont have Human rights so equalty would be a wasted word on him, it would explain his discriminatory right wing mentality. :-) Realist2 00:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

No i was deliberately being sarcastic, im sure they do have human right from whatever Island he`s off. Let`s just leave it as it is, Yours with a lot more gratitude than I would give T2345 (Take that as a complement), Realist2 17:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind respond. I'm sorry for my hard words to him. Well I have always thought the medical truth about MJ could be more appreciated than terms like "bleaching himself" and so on which can cause serious health condition for many racial groups who may like to be white like him. But if I was wrong about what I did, and scientific facts are not much appreciated in wikipedia, I apologize again and this will be the end of my contribution.

Hello my name is Anthony Carver. I work for Penton Media and I've recently been made aware of Penton's standing with Wikipedia. I've been forwarded an e-mail concerning Penton's history concerning Wikipedia. I would like to make efforts on the company's behalf to improve our relations with Wikipedia. It was never Penton's intention to spam Wikipedia. We would like to do what we can and what's necessary to become unblocked, and not make the same mistakes. Is there a time limit on how long we will be blocked? And is there anything we can do to help make things better? If we are able to become unblocked we will have a strict posting policy so as not to violate Wikipedia's content rules. We don't want to cause problems anymore than you want to deal with them. We appreciate your understanding.

Thanks for uploading Image:David_Miller_with_veteran.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 23:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Deathphoenix. You closed this AfD. I recently happened upon this user subpage. Since you have some familiarity in this matter, would you look into this? Thanks. -- Jreferee t/ c 17:21, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to send notice to you that this user has one or more links on her user page linking people to a shopping site in order to purchase Star Wars costumes. I believed it to be spam, and I kindly and openly notified her on her talk page. If you don't mind looking into it, I would appreciate that a lot. While I do my best to revert vandalism, policy violations in this area are usually passed from myself directly to an administrator. If you don't mind sending me a message of what I should do if I see this next time, I would appreciate it. I would not want to violate any wikipedia policies in attempt to revert or remove what looks to be against Wikipedia's spam policy. Thanks a lot. BeanoJosh 19:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
BTW: What does it take to be considered for adminship? I have many reverts for vandalism, and I am beginning to participate in admin/user chores, including cleaning up articles from Wikipedias backlog. What else should I do? Thanks.
I was hoping you could help me out. A user keeps deleting one of my userboxes because it conains a "free use" image. I wanted to have your permission to use that image in my userbox. all it is, is this:
This user works at | [[]] |

It's just a userbox saying that I work at Old Navy. I do work there, and have been since June 2005. May I please use that image?

I don't know the wikipedia rules when it comes to creating a user account and what words it may contain. Could you fill me in on this and link me to the page that defines these rules? I saw in the RC a new user creation log of User:Garotted nigger, and I don't know if this violates any policy. BeanoJosh 17:12, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for answering my question. I was pretty sure there was policy against inappropriate usernames, but I couldn't land my finger (or my mouse) on it. I have another question for you. I am desiring to change my username from User:BeanoJosh to User:Beano, but I am sure the name is taken. It seems like an inactive user and has no userpage. What can I do to request that change? Thanks. BeanoJosh ( talk) 07:03, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Although I found the answer already, I just wanted to let you know that I successfully changed my username from BeanoJosh to Beano. What happens to all of my saved things in my old userspace? If I were to blank all the stuff from it, would it also delete the things off of my new one? Beano ( talk) 10:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Pursuant to a group AfD, you deleted this article. Would you mind placing a copy of it, with history, in my User space so that I can review it for possible return? This was a notable criterion and was, in my opinion, only deleted because nobody knowledgeable about election methods and issues noticed the AfD. Thanks. -- Abd ( talk) 20:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Dear Deathphoenix,
My name is James and i am quite new to wikipedia and i dont know how to do this properly. I was hoping that you could temporarily restore an article on Joseph Yahuda, an author who wrote the book "Hebrew Is Greek" for me, becasue i saw your account name on the page. I would deeply appreciate if you could give me the source of the article so i can review it off wikipedia.
Please email me back on mx55@hotmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Motionpicture ( talk • contribs) 15:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
As you can see just above your post, I recently asked a similar question. I'm not sure if anyone is answering the phone over there and I can't figure out if we're supposed to chase these things on our own or if there's a team that takes it over.
If you get anywhere with it, please let me know. Cheers! Franamax ( talk) 21:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

You left a notice on the talk page of that user to let you know if any vandalism is done by that IP. I'm faily certain that these edits [17] [18] [19] [20] do constitute vandalism. It's certainly not obvious vandalism, but you have more experience than me, so I'll leave it up to you to decide if it is and if action should be taken. According to the history page, the page was edited by two IPs (the other of which I simply warned), both of whom I'm guessing aren't very happy with their jobs at Softtek.

You have deleted the pages of several well known companies in the United States. Who made you God to decided what is or isn't a valuable page on Wikipedia?
You aren't even American. How do you know if a company is well known in the US enough that people want to read about it or not? I bet you don't even know which companies I am talking about while living in Toronto. If I create a page for a company that you haven't heard of you will probably delete it even if that company has several thousand employees and have tens of thousands of American customers.
Sometimes there are export restrictions on certain products such that only American governments can purchase that product. For a Canadian such as yourself you would not even be aware of that company's product's existance and you took down that company's page more than once without realizing that the company is as well known in the USA as Nortel is in Canada. I mean, how many people really know what Nortel is? If there were an American as stupid as you are they would have accidentally taken down Nortel's page as blatent advertising just as you had incorrectly taken down several pages in the past.
Think about the pages you marked for deletion and see if you can figure out which companies you did this to by accident. I bet you're too ill informed to be able to figure it out. You should stick to editing pages of Canadian content and leave the American content to Americans.
Je pense que tu est stupid, eh?

Thanks for uploading File:VC Beharry.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kwekubo ( talk) 10:11, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:VC Beharry.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Dear Deathphoenix,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck ( talk • contribs) 14:10, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

During the month of April, Wikimedia Canada is preparing the National Contribution Month, and we are looking for experienced contributors to organize a contribution day (or half-day) in their region.
Contribution days are activities where Wikipedia's contributors, students, or anybody interested in contributing to Wikipedia meets together to collectively improve a predetermined theme. This meetings generally take place in library where references are easy of access, but can be organized in any communal room. Beside improving articles, a goal of this participatory workshops is to initiate neophyte in the cooperative contribution of Wikipedia.
If you are interested in organizing or participating in a contribution day in your region, communicate witht he national team on the project's talk page. The exact agenda of each local event is left to the discretion of the organizer. Help is available for the organization from contributors who already organized these type of days, so don't be worried.

A relative of Luz Long contacted Wikimedia in connection with the statement in the Luz Long Wikipedia article that he received the Pierre de Coubertin medal. She is working on a biography of Luz Long, and does not have information about this honor. The Luz Long article isn't sourced, and the editor who first added the information is an IP. However, it is also mention in the Pierre de Coubertin article, which you edited.
I noticed that User:Joseph Dwayne added the statement, ...Jesse Owens after being adviced by his competitor, Luz Long, at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Long was awarded the Pierre de Coubertin medal for his sportmanship."
Some time later User:Deathphoenix add the word "posthumously'.

Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on

Hello, Deathphoenix. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Deathphoenix.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Hello,
I know it's odd that I'm a very new user without any edits getting in touch via your talk page. Also, I'm not sure if this is the proper way to contact Wikipedia users. I'm researching a topic in the Wikipedia community during the early 2000s. You were around, and I just wanted to pick your brain about the situation.
Would you mind replying back to me via the "email me" tool on my page?
Best, mehrpw

Look at Students in Harry Potter's Year, Harry Potter characters birthday list, and the project page. Take a look at the issue, and contribute. Whether you disagree or disagree, it is vital that these issues are decided by editors who are familiar with Harry Potter and who are capable of deciding upon the worth of the articles, rather than editors who clearly have deep contempt for it and no real understanding of the subject. Please intervene. Michaelsanders 22:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello Deathphoenix, wondering if you'd check out a littler situation at Harry Potter fandom and Talk:Harry Potter fandom#Discussing whether we should add this: --Please do not add a site here without first discussing it on Talk:Harry Potter fandom first. Thank you.-- with User:Carhonda. S/he reverted an edit you made which removed a NN fansite without being discussed. I then pointed the user in the direction of the comment at the bottom directing people to the talk page to discuss, and the user removed the comment and set up a straw poll discussing whether to include the comment on the article, almost WP:POINT-ish. I reinstated the comment and responded to the user on the article talk page. Mind investigating? Thanks. -- Fbv 65 e del / ☑t / ☛c || 21:40, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Since you blocked User:Mdey33 recently, I wonder if you'd mind also looking at User:Ajent, whose purpose also seems to be vandalism. Is there a more appropriate way to handle these complaints than sending them to a random admin? Wahkeenah 01:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I know that I should keep my signature simple, but the simple fact of the matter is that I am lazy. If I want to find my previous edits on any page, I can scroll down quickly and find them due to the giant black bar with red (searching for "shark" or "sharkface" using the find button actually takes longer most of the time).

You've removed this IP from the vandalism list without taking action. Can you make a suggestion about how to best proceed then?

Regarding User:Justin67, I must ask you to look at his edits. Using inflammatory language like "Hindu fascists" in WP:LEAD repeatedly is highly vandalistic [3], particularly since he keeps repeating it. If it was only once then fine, but twice? Rumpelstiltskin223 03:39, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I couldn't keep up with User:216.79.182.147 He/she and User:216.79.174.100 were vandalising Zeus too fast for me to keep up with warnings. BTW, look at these edits (vandalism) to Benedict Arnold this morning, all within 12 minutes:
I was just about to report them when they stopped, both have only vandalized Zeus, neither has any other edits. - Dan D. Ric 16:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
I reported User:Samantha Dean for vandalism (persistent content removal from Paternity fraud which I arrived at via a recent changes patrol) and you removed the report from the board without taking action (because you believed it was a content dispute) and I'd like to understand why because it seems to me that there's no point in doing recent changes patrols if vandals who persist in obvious content removal despite repeated requests and then warnings to stop are allowed to do whatever they want. It seems that the processes for trying to deal with vandals are useless (especially if the vandal retrospectively, after they're issued with a final warning, pretends they're not vandalising). I've watched this page so feel free to reply here if you choose to try to help me understand. Thank you for your time. :-) Random Passer-by 16:03, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I always assumed that Wiki had a bot that welcomed people on the talk page of the new accounts in which had links to the Wiki's policies, help pages, Tutorial, etc... and is signed by administrator (like how Death Eater Dan did for me).In this way welcoming them before other temperamental editors scare them away. I'm I mistaken? If so, why doesn't Wiki have a bot that would generate this type of message when new account is created? ( Duane543 16:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC))

Deathphoenix, it wa spartly my fault on this matter. I misread a final warning, thinking it was issued today, but it was issued days ago (for which the IP did get banned for). The user blanked pages and added insulting references. Arbiteroftruth 19:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
You wrote on my talk page:
Thanks for the message. I don't use that option in VandalProof (when I use VandalProof), so that didn't cause the problem. I did run into a WP server "zero bytes returned" error a time or two, and perhaps my resubmissions after those errors caused the duplicates. At any rate, I'll watch more closely to try to not send any duplicates. Thanks again for the heads-up!

You are right there: Harry simply notices that the ring is no longer on the table, and no explanation is given for its location. I think I assumed that Dumbledore had given some sort of indication that he had moved it (which is what happens when I don't pay close enough attention to the sources), whereas in fact, we have no indication of its current whereabouts, except that it is NOT on the table where Harry last saw it (it's probably in a cupboard in the office, to be honest). I'll change that to fix it (i.e. to 'its current location is unknown'). Michaelsanders 17:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.sorry I didn't know how to message you in another way. I'd ask you to review and control the acts of one of wikipedia contributors, who delete even scientific or documented articles only because of his personal interests and practically vandalizing the wikipedia.. And his answer is “every1 on wikipedia is equal, if you are older or have more qualifications it really doesnt mean anything here.” The example of the page http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Michael_Jackson&oldid=154591006 , the "illness or dream project" could explain what I would ask you to direct. He deletes the article only because his a fan of Michael Jackson, and has no interest in facts that could be reflected in there. regards T2345 19:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Firstly we already no why michael Jacksons skin colour is white, it came out in court documents during his trial, this wish wash babble he talks of means nothing. Oh I didnt realise his english was lacking, shame I guess where ever he comes from they probably dont have Human rights so equalty would be a wasted word on him, it would explain his discriminatory right wing mentality. :-) Realist2 00:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
If you notice from my user page english is not my first language either!!! I still know whats inappropriate or not. You shouldn`t defend people like T2345. He`s still being patronising (sorry if I miss spelt that) now. Its irrelevant the piece will not be included in any shape or form . Realist2 15:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
No i was deliberately being sarcastic, im sure they do have human right from whatever Island he`s off. Let`s just leave it as it is, Yours with a lot more gratitude than I would give T2345 (Take that as a complement), Realist2 17:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind respond. I'm sorry for my hard words to him. Well I have always thought the medical truth about MJ could be more appreciated than terms like "bleaching himself" and so on which can cause serious health condition for many racial groups who may like to be white like him. But if I was wrong about what I did, and scientific facts are not much appreciated in wikipedia, I apologize again and this will be the end of my contribution.

Hello my name is Anthony Carver. I work for Penton Media and I've recently been made aware of Penton's standing with Wikipedia. I've been forwarded an e-mail concerning Penton's history concerning Wikipedia. I would like to make efforts on the company's behalf to improve our relations with Wikipedia. It was never Penton's intention to spam Wikipedia. We would like to do what we can and what's necessary to become unblocked, and not make the same mistakes. Is there a time limit on how long we will be blocked? And is there anything we can do to help make things better? If we are able to become unblocked we will have a strict posting policy so as not to violate Wikipedia's content rules. We don't want to cause problems anymore than you want to deal with them. We appreciate your understanding.

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me. I still feel your touch in my dreams. Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why Without you it's hard to survive.
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling. And every time we kiss I swear I could fly. Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last. Need you by my side.
'Cause every time we touch, I feel this static. And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky. Can't you hear my heart beat so... I can't let you go. Want you in my life.
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky. They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all. You make me rise when I fall.

Thanks for uploading Image:David_Miller_with_veteran.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 23:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Deathphoenix. You closed this AfD. I recently happened upon this user subpage. Since you have some familiarity in this matter, would you look into this? Thanks. -- Jreferee t/ c 17:21, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to send notice to you that this user has one or more links on her user page linking people to a shopping site in order to purchase Star Wars costumes. I believed it to be spam, and I kindly and openly notified her on her talk page. If you don't mind looking into it, I would appreciate that a lot. While I do my best to revert vandalism, policy violations in this area are usually passed from myself directly to an administrator. If you don't mind sending me a message of what I should do if I see this next time, I would appreciate it. I would not want to violate any wikipedia policies in attempt to revert or remove what looks to be against Wikipedia's spam policy. Thanks a lot. BeanoJosh 19:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
BTW: What does it take to be considered for adminship? I have many reverts for vandalism, and I am beginning to participate in admin/user chores, including cleaning up articles from Wikipedias backlog. What else should I do? Thanks.
I was hoping you could help me out. A user keeps deleting one of my userboxes because it conains a "free use" image. I wanted to have your permission to use that image in my userbox. all it is, is this:

It's just a userbox saying that I work at Old Navy. I do work there, and have been since June 2005. May I please use that image?

I don't know the wikipedia rules when it comes to creating a user account and what words it may contain. Could you fill me in on this and link me to the page that defines these rules? I saw in the RC a new user creation log of User:Garotted nigger, and I don't know if this violates any policy. BeanoJosh 17:12, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for answering my question. I was pretty sure there was policy against inappropriate usernames, but I couldn't land my finger (or my mouse) on it. I have another question for you. I am desiring to change my username from User:BeanoJosh to User:Beano, but I am sure the name is taken. It seems like an inactive user and has no userpage. What can I do to request that change? Thanks. BeanoJosh ( talk) 07:03, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Although I found the answer already, I just wanted to let you know that I successfully changed my username from BeanoJosh to Beano. What happens to all of my saved things in my old userspace? If I were to blank all the stuff from it, would it also delete the things off of my new one? Beano ( talk) 10:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Pursuant to a group AfD, you deleted this article. Would you mind placing a copy of it, with history, in my User space so that I can review it for possible return? This was a notable criterion and was, in my opinion, only deleted because nobody knowledgeable about election methods and issues noticed the AfD. Thanks. -- Abd ( talk) 20:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Dear Deathphoenix,
My name is James and i am quite new to wikipedia and i dont know how to do this properly. I was hoping that you could temporarily restore an article on Joseph Yahuda, an author who wrote the book "Hebrew Is Greek" for me, becasue i saw your account name on the page. I would deeply appreciate if you could give me the source of the article so i can review it off wikipedia.

You left a notice on the talk page of that user to let you know if any vandalism is done by that IP. I'm faily certain that these edits [17] [18] [19] [20] do constitute vandalism. It's certainly not obvious vandalism, but you have more experience than me, so I'll leave it up to you to decide if it is and if action should be taken. According to the history page, the page was edited by two IPs (the other of which I simply warned), both of whom I'm guessing aren't very happy with their jobs at Softtek.

You have deleted the pages of several well known companies in the United States. Who made you God to decided what is or isn't a valuable page on Wikipedia?
You aren't even American. How do you know if a company is well known in the US enough that people want to read about it or not? I bet you don't even know which companies I am talking about while living in Toronto. If I create a page for a company that you haven't heard of you will probably delete it even if that company has several thousand employees and have tens of thousands of American customers.
Sometimes there are export restrictions on certain products such that only American governments can purchase that product. For a Canadian such as yourself you would not even be aware of that company's product's existance and you took down that company's page more than once without realizing that the company is as well known in the USA as Nortel is in Canada. I mean, how many people really know what Nortel is? If there were an American as stupid as you are they would have accidentally taken down Nortel's page as blatent advertising just as you had incorrectly taken down several pages in the past.
Think about the pages you marked for deletion and see if you can figure out which companies you did this to by accident. I bet you're too ill informed to be able to figure it out. You should stick to editing pages of Canadian content and leave the American content to Americans.

Thanks for uploading File:VC Beharry.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kwekubo ( talk) 10:11, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:VC Beharry.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Dear Deathphoenix,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,

As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

During the month of April, Wikimedia Canada is preparing the National Contribution Month, and we are looking for experienced contributors to organize a contribution day (or half-day) in their region.
Contribution days are activities where Wikipedia's contributors, students, or anybody interested in contributing to Wikipedia meets together to collectively improve a predetermined theme. This meetings generally take place in library where references are easy of access, but can be organized in any communal room. Beside improving articles, a goal of this participatory workshops is to initiate neophyte in the cooperative contribution of Wikipedia.
If you are interested in organizing or participating in a contribution day in your region, communicate witht he national team on the project's talk page. The exact agenda of each local event is left to the discretion of the organizer. Help is available for the organization from contributors who already organized these type of days, so don't be worried. If you have any questions or want more information, don't hesitate to contact us.Amqui ( talk) 00:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next several days. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

I just wanted to let you know that, there having been no serious concerns expressed by my fellow 'crats, I've restored your administrative rights. Welcome back to Wikipedia. Pak aran 18:25, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
A relative of Luz Long contacted Wikimedia in connection with the statement in the Luz Long Wikipedia article that he received the Pierre de Coubertin medal. She is working on a biography of Luz Long, and does not have information about this honor. The Luz Long article isn't sourced, and the editor who first added the information is an IP. However, it is also mention in the Pierre de Coubertin article, which you edited.
I noticed that User:Joseph Dwayne added the statement, ...Jesse Owens after being adviced by his competitor, Luz Long, at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Long was awarded the Pierre de Coubertin medal for his sportmanship."
Some time later User:Deathphoenix add the word "posthumously'.
I'm sending this to both of you, recognizing that this was a decade ago, but wondering if you know where you got that information. I'd like to share it with the family.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 01:43, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
hello, My name is yilmaz. I am doing master at Sussex in the field of media and cultural studies and I am writing dissertation about Wikipedia as a commons but I need to have an interview with at least three (3) Wikipedians. I will send you an interview form, which consists of twelve questions. The interview is crucial to analyse the main logic of Wikipedia and digital commons. I hope you will help me for this.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on

Hello, Deathphoenix. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Deathphoenix.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Hello,
I know it's odd that I'm a very new user without any edits getting in touch via your talk page. Also, I'm not sure if this is the proper way to contact Wikipedia users. I'm researching a topic in the Wikipedia community during the early 2000s. You were around, and I just wanted to pick your brain about the situation.
Would you mind replying back to me via the "email me" tool on my page?
Best, mehrpw
