reverted the wrong edit-- AOL account 13:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting recent vandalisms to my userpage. This seems to be a problem with one specific person at sympatico.ca - the IPs are dynamic. I doubt anything can be done but this is really annoying - the vandal seems to post more and more offensive stuff as time passes (the recent suicide one notwithstanding). Thanks. — Natha n ( talk) / 15:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
KOS | talk 18:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)If you have time, could you take a read through Mountsorrel and make any changes you think it needs? I recently expanded it but I'm still not happy with some sections.
Thanks,

I got a message you blocked my IP because someone else created a user name similar to mine, yet my IP was blocked too!!! What's the deal? Thomas Anderson 19:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there not a special exclusion on user pages as for interfearing?
It's called a user page, not a bloody article for a reason.

The Working Man's Barnstar | ||
FireFox, I award you this barnstar for always beating me on reversions and speedies. Good job! Shadow1 21:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC) |
Bug fixed. It was supposed to only ask to delete if the vandal is the only contributor thought it was mising the check to stop if from doing that when another admin rolled-back first. Its fixed now. Thanks. Voice-of-All 07:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
You get my very own personal golf ball for rv my talk page.
FF, thanks for your support in my RfA- from such a well-liked editor as yourself it was very much appreciated!
In retrospect, I think I'll let the RfA run its course.
EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME 17:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi again FireFox, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. Actually, you were the last support vote before it closed :). You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page.

I'm having a bad controversy with him (see my talk page here, then look at the bottom). Should he be blocked for personal attacks or any some other kind of issues? -- Big top 19:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
There was a load priority issue cause the defaults to override the custom values. Thanks for pointing this out. I've updated the instructions [1] with a working method to customize them. You should probably make the script an SRC inclusion again though, so it gets updated automatically. Voice-of-All 22:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to start this by saying I mean no ills to Bigtop at all. I have three questions. First, why were my previous comments rolled back by User:Lorian 'to prevent vandalism'? Second, may I please be taken off whatever probationary status I have been put on? Third, if I have made any inflammatory remarks, please point them out, as I have not noticed anything that is either a personal attack or a disruptive comment. I would greatly appreciate it if this post were not rolled back or deleted, and that an expedient reply is given when possible. -- Oreo Priest 02:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I hope you don't mind me borrowing some elements of your page for my own... let me know If and how you would like to get credit for them on my page. aido2002 07:23, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi FireFox!
I've just noticed that the icons in your Admin section were mixed up slightly, with Delete and Stop being exchanged. It has been fixed. -- NetRolller 3D 13:48, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed my userpage being vandalized by a (suspected) Willy on Wheels account, which would also be proof that im a good editor (yay). I noticed you reverted it so I would just like tro say thanks, cheers — M in un Spiderman • Review Me 14:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I like the way your userpage looks. How can I set mine up according to a similar template? Also, you keep beating me to the punch on these early morning vandals! Good goin' Ashwinr 14:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry! Forgot to check that, the template was on the talk page, and it should be on the user page only. I must have moved it without checking. Removed it now. >< Richard 06 12 UW 16:08, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
that a user you previously warned, User:12.151.120.81 has added racist vandalism to the Skrewdriver article, which i have reverted. i'm not well up enough on wiki policy to know how to instigate a ban (which i feel is deserved, looking at his edit history), but i have a feeling you might. thanks -- Kaini 19:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Could you block him because his username consists of non-latin characters? Thanks. -- Big top 19:59, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I just wanted to say that I greatly enjoy your RfA standards. I think there is such a thing as having far too few edits or being far too new, but I really hate when people immediately discredit a candidate simply because of editcountitis, or simply because they haven't been a main contributor to a featured article, or for some other reason that largely avoids who the editor actually is and how they are trying to improve WP. To be fair, I'm not an admin, so I don't have in-depth knowledge of all of the tools you guys have as admins, but I think basing your opinions on how they'd use these tools is perhaps the best criteria I've seen yet. -- Kicking222 20:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm having issues with this user because he made an edit to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories because his edit content is disputed. Could you talk to him if you can? -- Big top 21:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, My name is 'YourCousin'. I have been blocked by RYULONG and his admin buddies. I was VOTE 16 on the OPPOSE list and his #3 supporter(Mr Lefty) deleted my vote after 90seconds (look for yourself)... This guy is totally crooked and a real wiki-bully! I have been censored (LOOK AT THE NOMINATION HISTORY)and would appeal to you to PLEASE read my entry which they deleted... this was vote 15:
Strong oppose I am repasting this as it was just CROSSED OUT by RYULONG SUPPORTER #3, MrLefty. THIS IS A VALID VOTE AND ENTRY, PLEASE READ IT AND DON't JUST TRY TO SILENCE IT! This user(RYULONG) and I had a dispute about a controversial Jeremy Clarkson quote that involved INCEST. I deleted the passage noting that it was too controversial to remain with NO SOURCE. Ryulong insisted that it stayed claiming that 'HE PROBABLY SAID IT' and 'IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING' he would say. After a short editing war, I decided to start a TOPIC on the discussion page so that we could sort it out. RYULONG repeatedly deleted my topic more than 6 times until finally, he had an admin friend block my username for a week. I returned with a sockpuppet and attempted to open the discussion again only to have it constantly and repeatedly deleted.
Please look at RYULONG's discussion page history as well as the discussion page history at Jeremy Clarkson and I am confident that you will see that not only did he attempt to thwart my fair introduction of a topic onto the discussion page, but also tried to insist on keeping a Jeremy Clarkson quote on the page that tunred out to be TOTALLY INNACCURATE. He was stating that when you introduce a quote to an article, it is not the contributor's responsibility to CITE the SOURCE of the quote, but rather it is up to the editors to prove that the subject DID NOT SAY the quote.
I may have lost it and personally attacked this person even telling him to F.O., I may have used sockpuppets to have the page corrected (as it has been and is now)... But this is a bona fide crooked bully. Do not make this bully Admin please. Just look at the pages and you will see that everything I have said is true and the truth has NO holes. he is not concerned about the factuality of an article, he is more concerned about getting his way and having his input in it! He was very, very determined to have the INCEST remarks left INACCURATE and INTACT. The ACTUAL quote is now on the page and has a SOURCE. This is factual. --YourOtherCousin 17:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for reading,

Thanks for "fixing my fix." I thought that the "number signs" (#) were what was messing it up and that they corresponded to the tally numbers, hence didn't belong in front of non-tally paragraphs. Obviously not the case. Is there a style page where I can read up on this? Newyorkbrad 17:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I can't recall any acts of vandalism on my part, would you care to show me which article I supposedly vandalised? 222.155.12.62 18:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Dear FireFox, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My
Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to
come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Dear Firefox, this is the perfect opportunity to finally speak to one another after reading your words for months and months. I am sure that we'll be able to talk often, and trust me, it'd be my pleasure. Both your contributions and, most important your warm way to deal with others made me notice you long, long ago; and being supported by a person I look up to, like you, meant the world to me. I sincerely hope this is but the beginning of a friendship, and such thought fills me with joy. Please take good care, and I hope to talk to you again real soon! :) With a big hug, your friend,
Need more admins that don't hesistate to block vandals such as yourself.-- Andeh 11:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey FireFox, thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. I've decided to semi-protect it as the actual content is transcluded from a different page and reverting vandalism on the page is just a nuisance for all the RC patrollers out there. Cheers, Tangot a ngo 12:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I award you this Minor Barnstar in recognition of all the small, yet valuable edits you make to Wikipedia. Keep up the fantastic work. Daniel. Bryant 11:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC) |
Well excuse me but it is a nominations table. Also it does not matter what series 6 had - this is series 7. Also that wasn't much of a concensus, just two people. Aren't we here to improve not to just copy? It should say no nominations as that is the twist (even though there isn't according to your comment). It could then be removed on the final day, but as I said it is a nominations table, not a results table. I don't expect much will come of this, but that is my opinion of it. -- Alex talk here 16:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

As an administrator you should have sufficient awareness of policy to know that for a statement which is so serious it must be totally verifiable. Yet you are content with half a line in a tabloid article from a publication with a verifiable track record of fabrication. You clearly have not read, or understood WP:V and I find your attitude towards mental health unacceptable as well as immature. You are condoning a gang attack on my edits by various other contributors, which in itself is against editing policy.
If you see fit to use your admin. powers against me I will refer the matter for arbitration. You have no entitlement to edit controversial articles in which you are also involved in admin. issues and if one of your cohorts exercises their powers it will still be seen as your handiwork leaky_caldron 21:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I shall take a stance completely contrary to the above. As someone who's left previously, I think everyone needs a good break from Wikipedia once in a while. Take it, and then maybe make edits under a second account if you're abandoning this one. Underlying point is, have a good break, and I hope to see you back, but regardless, good luck.

Hey FireFox:
You recently reverted this article, probably because it was a blanking. Un actuality, I believe it was the wide scale removal of highly POV material--non-encyclopedic theories rather than sourced facts. Went ahead and removed it myself.

Hello, Firefox: I'm writing in support of AnneCr, who has been temporarily blocked (apparently by you). I would like to appeal that block. The user whose unhelpful edits (unbalanced content, obvious agenda) she reverted was himself blocked yesterday for over a dozen reverts.
The fact that he was blocked makes it clear that someone in the Wikipedia hierarchy thought -- as several of us who have worked on the Spencer article do -- that reversions of his material were justifiable. I would suggest that blocking a user for correcting edits that were enough of a nuisance to get the offender blocked is punishing the wrong party. The 3RR, I believe, is in place to prevent abuse, not to delay its correction.

Hi. I've reblocked the above user ( ZIN ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) indefinitely. New user pops up and all they do is tag is blocked user names, makes me suspicious. There's no encyclopedic edits so, I hope you agree, no reason not to block :) I've blocked from account creation too. Let's see if the active block list throws up any autoblocks now - my guess is that it will. Please message me on my talk if you disagree with this blocking. -- kingboyk 12:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering why you put back the article on Esmie Tseng. As a friend of hers, I feel (and she agrees) that her private business doesn't belong on wikipedia. I understand that she's sort of a public figure, and that people will be curious. I don't know if you read the article on her in the Pitch, but it was vicious. She doesn't want this publicity, she told me in her last letter. Please take it down out of respect to her wishes. -Lacy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onlylivingirlinnewyork ( talk • contribs)

Thanks for reverting recent vandalisms to my userpage. This seems to be a problem with one specific person at sympatico.ca - the IPs are dynamic.

Second, may I please be taken off whatever probationary status I have been put on?

that a user you previously warned, User:12.151.120.81 has added racist vandalism to the Skrewdriver article, which i have reverted. i'm not well up enough on wiki policy to know how to instigate a ban (which i feel is deserved, looking at his edit history), but i have a feeling you might. thanks -- Kaini 19:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Could you block him because his username consists of non-latin characters? Thanks. -- Big top 19:59, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I just wanted to say that I greatly enjoy your RfA standards. I think there is such a thing as having far too few edits or being far too new, but I really hate when people immediately discredit a candidate simply because of editcountitis, or simply because they haven't been a main contributor to a featured article, or for some other reason that largely avoids who the editor actually is and how they are trying to improve WP. To be fair, I'm not an admin, so I don't have in-depth knowledge of all of the tools you guys have as admins, but I think basing your opinions on how they'd use these tools is perhaps the best criteria I've seen yet. -- Kicking222 20:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, My name is 'YourCousin'. I have been blocked by RYULONG and his admin buddies. I was VOTE 16 on the OPPOSE list and his #3 supporter(Mr Lefty) deleted my vote after 90seconds (look for yourself)... This guy is totally crooked and a real wiki-bully! I have been censored (LOOK AT THE NOMINATION HISTORY)and would appeal to you to PLEASE read my entry which they deleted... this was vote 15:
Strong oppose I am repasting this as it was just CROSSED OUT by RYULONG SUPPORTER #3, MrLefty. THIS IS A VALID VOTE AND ENTRY, PLEASE READ IT AND DON't JUST TRY TO SILENCE IT! This user(RYULONG) and I had a dispute about a controversial Jeremy Clarkson quote that involved INCEST. I deleted the passage noting that it was too controversial to remain with NO SOURCE. Ryulong insisted that it stayed claiming that 'HE PROBABLY SAID IT' and 'IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING' he would say. After a short editing war, I decided to start a TOPIC on the discussion page so that we could sort it out. RYULONG repeatedly deleted my topic more than 6 times until finally, he had an admin friend block my username for a week. I returned with a sockpuppet and attempted to open the discussion again only to have it constantly and repeatedly deleted.
Please look at RYULONG's discussion page history as well as the discussion page history at Jeremy Clarkson and I am confident that you will see that not only did he attempt to thwart my fair introduction of a topic onto the discussion page, but also tried to insist on keeping a Jeremy Clarkson quote on the page that tunred out to be TOTALLY INNACCURATE. He was stating that when you introduce a quote to an article, it is not the contributor's responsibility to CITE the SOURCE of the quote, but rather it is up to the editors to prove that the subject DID NOT SAY the quote.
I may have lost it and personally attacked this person even telling him to F.O., I may have used sockpuppets to have the page corrected (as it has been and is now)... But this is a bona fide crooked bully. Do not make this bully Admin please. Just look at the pages and you will see that everything I have said is true and the truth has NO holes. he is not concerned about the factuality of an article, he is more concerned about getting his way and having his input in it! He was very, very determined to have the INCEST remarks left INACCURATE and INTACT. The ACTUAL quote is now on the page and has a SOURCE. This is factual. --YourOtherCousin 17:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Dear FireFox, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My
Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to
come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Dear Firefox, this is the perfect opportunity to finally speak to one another after reading your words for months and months. I am sure that we'll be able to talk often, and trust me, it'd be my pleasure. Both your contributions and, most important your warm way to deal with others made me notice you long, long ago; and being supported by a person I look up to, like you, meant the world to me. I sincerely hope this is but the beginning of a friendship, and such thought fills me with joy. Please take good care, and I hope to talk to you again real soon! :) With a big hug, your friend,

I award you this Minor Barnstar in recognition of all the small, yet valuable edits you make to Wikipedia. Keep up the fantastic work. Daniel. Bryant 11:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC) |
Well excuse me but it is a nominations table. Also it does not matter what series 6 had - this is series 7. Also that wasn't much of a concensus, just two people. Aren't we here to improve not to just copy? It should say no nominations as that is the twist (even though there isn't according to your comment). It could then be removed on the final day, but as I said it is a nominations table, not a results table. I don't expect much will come of this, but that is my opinion of it. -- Alex talk here 16:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

As an administrator you should have sufficient awareness of policy to know that for a statement which is so serious it must be totally verifiable. Yet you are content with half a line in a tabloid article from a publication with a verifiable track record of fabrication. You clearly have not read, or understood WP:V and I find your attitude towards mental health unacceptable as well as immature. You are condoning a gang attack on my edits by various other contributors, which in itself is against editing policy.
If you see fit to use your admin. powers against me I will refer the matter for arbitration. You have no entitlement to edit controversial articles in which you are also involved in admin. issues and if one of your cohorts exercises their powers it will still be seen as your handiwork leaky_caldron 21:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Come on, can't you let us know what happened/why (email if not here)? Then we might be able to do something more useful than saying "you'll be missed :(" and "come back or else!" Petros471 18:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I shall take a stance completely contrary to the above. As someone who's left previously, I think everyone needs a good break from Wikipedia once in a while. Take it, and then maybe make edits under a second account if you're abandoning this one. Underlying point is, have a good break, and I hope to see you back, but regardless, good luck.

Hey FireFox:
You recently reverted this article, probably because it was a blanking. Un actuality, I believe it was the wide scale removal of highly POV material--non-encyclopedic theories rather than sourced facts. Went ahead and removed it myself. This is in response to a request at OTRS (ref 2006081710005152). Thanks. Bastique▼ parler voir 20:46, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my RfA. Give me shout if I can be of help. Thanks/ wangi 00:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I think that the excerpt I posted there is fair use, isn't it? It was only a short excerpt from the article. Anyway, my intention for putting it on the talk page was that someone else would be able to re-write it. Apart from doing nothing, is there a correct way to upload fragments of this type? —Preceding unsigned comment added by RichardNeill ( talk • contribs)
I'll be moving to Connecticut tomorrow along with my family. I'll be leaving Wikipedia for a while until everything gets set up at our new home. It all depends on my Internet access, but I'll be seeing you in a week or two. Bye! --Slgr @ndson ( page - messages - contribs) 01:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back FireFox. Hope you enjoyed your break. Its awesome to see you back here editing! :D -- Ter e nce Ong ( T | C) 10:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Welcome back. We've been experiencing some very heavy AOL vandalism over the last two days at around 0800 utc, so you couldn't have come back at a better time. MER-C 10:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Might I suggest semi-protecting your sig page? I put mine on RFPP, and you may not have thought of it - if you get vandalised, it could be really nasty. Hope that helps you, and thanks yet againfor the support :) — Xyra e l / 11:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (64/3/3).

Hi Firefox, saw your edit on Delta Flight 5191 and that you're an admin. Could you do the requested page move for that article?
Thanks, MikeZ 13:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the support, though I think the tally isn't counting your vote because you forgot to implicitly state it. Cheers, Netsnipe (Talk) 20:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Firefox: I'm writing in support of AnneCr, who has been temporarily blocked (apparently by you). I would like to appeal that block. The user whose unhelpful edits (unbalanced content, obvious agenda) she reverted was himself blocked yesterday for over a dozen reverts.
The fact that he was blocked makes it clear that someone in the Wikipedia hierarchy thought -- as several of us who have worked on the Spencer article do -- that reversions of his material were justifiable. I would suggest that blocking a user for correcting edits that were enough of a nuisance to get the offender blocked is punishing the wrong party. The 3RR, I believe, is in place to prevent abuse, not to delay its correction.
Thank you for your time. Dy-no-miite 20:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the support vote; the whole painful thing went through to success. Hoorah! I will free my poor, eaten cousins yet! -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 04:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I've reblocked the above user ( ZIN ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) indefinitely. New user pops up and all they do is tag is blocked user names, makes me suspicious. There's no encyclopedic edits so, I hope you agree, no reason not to block :) I've blocked from account creation too. Let's see if the active block list throws up any autoblocks now - my guess is that it will. Please message me on my talk if you disagree with this blocking. -- kingboyk 12:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Probably not connected, but since we've been talking have a look at this: User:Kingboyk is a GFDLvio Admin. Wtf?! Lol. Fine, call me an asshole or something but GFDL violating?! What's that all about I wonder? (rolls eyes). -- kingboyk 13:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your support on my recent Request for Adminship. The request was ultimately unsuccessful - which wasn't entirely surprising - and so I'll be taking special care to address the concerns raised by the opposing !voters before running again. If you have any feedback for me, please don't hesitate to leave it at my talk page. Thanks! |

I was wondering why you put back the article on Esmie Tseng. As a friend of hers, I feel (and she agrees) that her private business doesn't belong on wikipedia. I understand that she's sort of a public figure, and that people will be curious. I don't know if you read the article on her in the Pitch, but it was vicious. She doesn't want this publicity, she told me in her last letter. Please take it down out of respect to her wishes. -Lacy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onlylivingirlinnewyork ( talk • contribs)
