Your old buddy editing from 24.11.28.169 that you blocked in late September [1] for vandalism is back at it. I've reverted the vandalism to [Efren Ramirez] and left a note on the user's talk page. Perhaps some more time in the ban bin would do some good. — A 21:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[2] This is the ip for my high school, the block on it ends on the 13th, It probably needs to be renewed, so anon editing is blocked to prevent any malicious activity from occuring to articles.

I've been substituting it (and {{ repeatvandal}}) for a long time ... I'm trying to think of why it's supposed to be transcluded. I guess because because it gets changed frequently enough that every usage should reflect the changes.
Personally, I prefer to substitute them because that makes it much harder for vandals to remove them. Not that that's happened to my knowledge, but you never know. Daniel Case 00:31, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
With this article, the version that was tagged was not the same as what the article had been for the rest of its life, on the 26th of august an IP dumped a whole heap of text in, over the top of the original. The original however did assert notability (hence not A7), so do you think you can undelete it and roll it back to the pre ip edited version? Viridae Talk 07:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
It's always nice to see folks improving articles. I had to write a short NDMA writeup for class, and the wikipedia article was in pretty bad shape when i found it. I learned chembox on this article - so cool! Thanks for filling in all the blanks :) User:x14n
What have you blocked this user for? He hasn't made an edit since 7 October (four days ago). First, it's not true that it is a vandalism-only account [3] [4], second, the user hadn't received a single warning (or well, I warned him, but he hasn't edited since that warning). An indefinite block seems much too harsh. Melsaran ( talk) 18:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Why did you delete coach mike thompson, gaa its a legitimate article???—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cocoapuffdaddy ( talk • contribs)
Thank you for acting on my WP:AIV request about User:Weasdog. The user's first edit was on the Currie Wot, which is a very obscure aircraft. I was monitoring recent changes and caught the vandalism because I saw this obscure aircraft as one of the recent changes. I've heard of of it but the vast majority of people haven't. There is a chance that this user has some very unusual and constructive knowledge to add to WP. The user has also said "sorry" which is encouraging and much more than most vandals do after being blocked.
I am willing to act as an informal mentor if see if this user can be a useful contributor to WP. Please consider unblock of this user or revise the block to 24 hours. If there are problems, I can contact another admin to reblock. Archtransit 17:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I've extended this user's block to 6 months. He's a return vandal who uses multiple IP addresses from 201.141.. to make the same set of edits to the Merck article. Given the number of IP addresses he uses, a 1 week block simply increases the frequency of his attacks. It's a case I've been following for a couple of months, now, and I didn't think you would mind.

Hello, Edgar181. We have to do more to make it more difficult for the vandal seen in this link... [6]...to edit Wikipedia.

Hi Edgar,
I made the omega blue because the alpha and omega were different colours, so I had to pick one to be consistent. The numbering scheme from the tail end was already red, so I went with the blue, because both the greek letters and the IUPAC numbering start at the head group (although offset). Maybe we should make the greek letters green instead and change the wording where the diagram is in use? -- Slashme 20:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
OK, now I understand. The fact that the α-carbon atom was labeled had made me think that the alpha and omega were there to indicate the greek numbering scheme as a third alternative. I have fixed it. (Another advantage of svg: Fixes like this can be done with a text editor!) -- Slashme 05:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I think should be better that chemical structures like

I am wondering why this article was deleted. It was mentioned that Julie is not notable enough for an article. She is running in an upcoming election which does not yet have a set date, the election could be called tomorrow, next wee or next year. In creating her bio I used a template of other candidates that are also running in the upcoming election and have not been deleted. I used a notation to link to the political party that she belongs to prove she is running in the election. I also find it suspicious that her article has been deleted when people who are running against her in the same riding have articles, but do not documented proof that they are running. I can also find several other candidates running in the election that have less proof than Hrdlicka. I am completely baffled, to what is, and what isn't required as proof of notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemonyjim ( talk • contribs) 22:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Edgar181,
I noticed that you were the one who blocked this user: 88.195.14.243 probably for his edits to Timothy McVeigh. However he has now been unblocked and continues to make changes to Daniel Negreanu, if you look at the history of the page you will notice that he is consistently fighting with other editors on that page [7]. Any help/advice on what to do with this user?

Edgar - I can only offer my most sincere apologies. The Freecycle Group Outreach Advisor for Yorkshire and Humberside asked everyone who was an owner or moderator of a Freecycle group in Y&H to "add in a link to your own Freecycle group in the External Links section (at the bottom of the page). You don't need to be registered to do this and it is very easy (look for 'Edit' at the far right of the External Links section at the end)."
It never occurred to me that this was against Wiki rules/guidelines (and meant I was doing the one thing which we too specifically forbid on Freecycle!!). I have sent a very strong complaint to the Freecycle GOA about their actions which encouraged us to break Wiki rules and has effectively has me into a spammer. To say I am annoyed with Freecycle would be putting it very politely.
Could I ask if you would unblock my IP address please? There's no way I want to be classed as a spammer, nor do I intend to try to add unauthorised links again. I am now going away to grind my axe at the Freecycle end :0))

The most common types of vandalism include the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, or the insertion of nonsense into articles.
i didnt put in anything dirty, i created the page so theres no way i would delete it. and yes i agree that this page is utter nonsense but it is a humoruos article that will be the outline for a movie that i am creating (its kind of like heroes360 or the lost experience). so if theres any way for this site to stay up, please let me know

the article you marked for speedy deletion entitled "dangerous dave ly" was labelled as "patent nonsense" the wikipedia definition of "patent nonsense" is:
Wikipedia writers and editors contribute a lot of brilliant prose, but occasionally some patent nonsense. This falls into two categories:
Total nonsense, i.e., text or random characters that have no assignable meaning at all. This includes sequences such as "i9da7gy98sdygida%£U%ETDF93ujfHc8vda097tt{%£^O&£^IEUyrhgietysbvd}TYu{og;d", in which keys of the keyboard have been pressed with no regard for what is typed (or typed with the eyes closed).
Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no reasonable person can be expected to make any sense of it whatsoever.
The article on Dangerous Dave, which was completely factual, does not come under either of these catagories. Could you please reinstate this article?

ok then. Maybe I should use the speedy deletion tags more carefully/sparingly or take such articles to Afd. But articles like NGC 88 which have no written text whatsoever, can be tagged for speedy deletion right?

Hi Edgar, I have a minor problem and would like a view from an administrator. IP address 68.55.128.232 has been used almost exclusively for vandalism and I categorised it as such. (The vandalism is mainly teenage stuff but occasionally offensive and/or racist.) The said individual didn't like this and reverted the changes a few times. He then set up a single purpose account Galdr whose sole activity (apart from one edit) has been reverting edits on User talk:68.55.128.232 and posting warnings to my talk page. I obviously don't want to find myself blocked by a slapdash admin on the basis of some spurious warnings by a troll. Can I remove these warnings with impunity?

First, it's not true that it is a vandalism-only account [3] [4], second, the user hadn't received a single warning (or well, I warned him, but he hasn't edited since that warning). An indefinite block seems much too harsh. Melsaran ( talk) 18:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Why did you delete coach mike thompson, gaa its a legitimate article???—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cocoapuffdaddy ( talk • contribs)
Thank you for acting on my WP:AIV request about User:Weasdog. The user's first edit was on the Currie Wot, which is a very obscure aircraft. I was monitoring recent changes and caught the vandalism because I saw this obscure aircraft as one of the recent changes. I've heard of of it but the vast majority of people haven't. There is a chance that this user has some very unusual and constructive knowledge to add to WP. The user has also said "sorry" which is encouraging and much more than most vandals do after being blocked.
I am willing to act as an informal mentor if see if this user can be a useful contributor to WP. Please consider unblock of this user or revise the block to 24 hours. If there are problems, I can contact another admin to reblock. Archtransit 17:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I've extended this user's block to 6 months. He's a return vandal who uses multiple IP addresses from 201.141.. to make the same set of edits to the Merck article. Given the number of IP addresses he uses, a 1 week block simply increases the frequency of his attacks. It's a case I've been following for a couple of months, now, and I didn't think you would mind.

Hello, Edgar181. We have to do more to make it more difficult for the vandal seen in this link... [6]...to edit Wikipedia.

Hi Edgar,
I made the omega blue because the alpha and omega were different colours, so I had to pick one to be consistent. The numbering scheme from the tail end was already red, so I went with the blue, because both the greek letters and the IUPAC numbering start at the head group (although offset). Maybe we should make the greek letters green instead and change the wording where the diagram is in use? -- Slashme 20:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
OK, now I understand. The fact that the α-carbon atom was labeled had made me think that the alpha and omega were there to indicate the greek numbering scheme as a third alternative. I have fixed it. (Another advantage of svg: Fixes like this can be done with a text editor!) -- Slashme 05:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I think should be better that chemical structures like

I am wondering why this article was deleted. It was mentioned that Julie is not notable enough for an article. She is running in an upcoming election which does not yet have a set date, the election could be called tomorrow, next wee or next year. In creating her bio I used a template of other candidates that are also running in the upcoming election and have not been deleted. I used a notation to link to the political party that she belongs to prove she is running in the election. I also find it suspicious that her article has been deleted when people who are running against her in the same riding have articles, but do not documented proof that they are running. I can also find several other candidates running in the election that have less proof than Hrdlicka. I am completely baffled, to what is, and what isn't required as proof of notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemonyjim ( talk • contribs) 22:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that you were the one who blocked this user: 88.195.14.243 probably for his edits to Timothy McVeigh. However he has now been unblocked and continues to make changes to Daniel Negreanu, if you look at the history of the page you will notice that he is consistently fighting with other editors on that page [7]. Any help/advice on what to do with this user?

Edgar - I can only offer my most sincere apologies. The Freecycle Group Outreach Advisor for Yorkshire and Humberside asked everyone who was an owner or moderator of a Freecycle group in Y&H to "add in a link to your own Freecycle group in the External Links section (at the bottom of the page). You don't need to be registered to do this and it is very easy (look for 'Edit' at the far right of the External Links section at the end)."
It never occurred to me that this was against Wiki rules/guidelines (and meant I was doing the one thing which we too specifically forbid on Freecycle!!). I have sent a very strong complaint to the Freecycle GOA about their actions which encouraged us to break Wiki rules and has effectively has me into a spammer. To say I am annoyed with Freecycle would be putting it very politely.
Could I ask if you would unblock my IP address please? There's no way I want to be classed as a spammer, nor do I intend to try to add unauthorised links again. I am now going away to grind my axe at the Freecycle end :0))

hi, you recently deleted my article on the quog for vandalism, and frankly i dont see vandalism. this is a quote directly from the wikipedia article on vandalism: Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. The most common types of vandalism include the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, or the insertion of nonsense into articles.
i didnt put in anything dirty, i created the page so theres no way i would delete it. and yes i agree that this page is utter nonsense but it is a humoruos article that will be the outline for a movie that i am creating (its kind of like heroes360 or the lost experience). so if theres any way for this site to stay up, please let me know

the article you marked for speedy deletion entitled "dangerous dave ly" was labelled as "patent nonsense" the wikipedia definition of "patent nonsense" is:
Wikipedia writers and editors contribute a lot of brilliant prose, but occasionally some patent nonsense. This falls into two categories:
Total nonsense, i.e., text or random characters that have no assignable meaning at all. This includes sequences such as "i9da7gy98sdygida%£U%ETDF93ujfHc8vda097tt{%£^O&£^IEUyrhgietysbvd}TYu{og;d", in which keys of the keyboard have been pressed with no regard for what is typed (or typed with the eyes closed).
Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no reasonable person can be expected to make any sense of it whatsoever.
The article on Dangerous Dave, which was completely factual, does not come under either of these catagories. Could you please reinstate this article?

Hi,
ok then. Maybe I should use the speedy deletion tags more carefully/sparingly or take such articles to Afd. But articles like NGC 88 which have no written text whatsoever, can be tagged for speedy deletion right?

Hi Edgar, I have a minor problem and would like a view from an administrator. IP address 68.55.128.232 has been used almost exclusively for vandalism and I categorised it as such. (The vandalism is mainly teenage stuff but occasionally offensive and/or racist.) The said individual didn't like this and reverted the changes a few times. He then set up a single purpose account Galdr whose sole activity (apart from one edit) has been reverting edits on User talk:68.55.128.232 and posting warnings to my talk page. I obviously don't want to find myself blocked by a slapdash admin on the basis of some spurious warnings by a troll. Can I remove these warnings with impunity?
