I see you've taken on the task of trying to cleanup after 68.80.30.39 ( talk · contribs). The user also has a history of removing cited info from anything related to the band Living Colour and has vandalised the Jimi Hendrix article several times. I've reported him to AiV many times. He's been given short blocks but, because his edits aren't "simple vandalism" he is usually allowed to fly free. I see he's targeted his usual haunts this evening. I can't be bothered rv'ing his "Living Colour" edits tonight. After 20000 edits I know that tomorrow is another day. I am going to circumvent AiV and ANI and go straight to an admin friend to request an intervention. If you have time try to keep an eye on the IP and see that his damage is minimal. Cheers and take care! Anger22 ( Talk 2 22) 04:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Then why don't we leave each other alone and go on our merry ways? -- TommyOliver 06:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict with the above by BigNate37) This is in reply to your report on WP:AIV. I see no evidence (such as diffs) for anything warranting a block on TommyOliver. Please use the dispute resolution procedure to settle any issues you two might have. Be advised that there is no consensus about whether one is obliged to keep warnings on their user talk page, so edit-warring about this on the talk page of TommyOliver is pointless and probably disruptive.

Hey, i got your message. Then, u've got to help me. People are questioning me about that matter. I'm a total Harry Potter fan like a lot of people out there. In Malaysia, there are lots of harry Potter readers and u've got clear their question on this matter. What do u think of this one? Edit it if u want but please explain. -Dudley does not know anything Harry's life and does not care about either either. In the fifth book, before Dudley and Harry are attacked by Dementors, he tells Harry that he knows Harry has been having a lot of nightmares and he keeps saying the name Cedric. The nightmares are, of course, because Harry witnessed Cedric's murder earlier. Dudley purposely asks Harry is Cedric his boyfriend. Although Harry does not answer him, it definitely not true because Harry and Cedric were only friends and Harry has feelings for Cho at that time.- Thank u.
Ooo. Ok. I'm sorry. Thanks for explaining to me. Now i know. I'll be more alert next time. Thank u. Vimalesvaren 08:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

John,
Please be careful regarding the DoB. I agree it should not be in the article, however, it might be better for us to move that debate to the talk page. Regards, Navou banter 22:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi John, I'm labrt2004 and I would like to help out with the Harry Potter portal. I'd like to suggest moving the news section to the top of the page, it seems to make more sense to have something entitled "news" to be in a more prominent location. What do you think? Labrt2004 20:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
The picture of Al u removed was, as i recall, a reasonably current picture, not unlike the one on his book. Just cause he is dead doesn't mean his picture has to go away. So unless u can give me some more justification, I'd like to revert. Tom94022 06:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello,
I noticed you redirected
Mårten Trotzigs gränd to
Marten Trotzigs grand, and I guess you were correct in doing so. However, I compared
WP:NAME to (the now archived)
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Swedish), and I'm still slightly confused by the contradictory guidelines. There are quite a number of Swedish-related stubs around, and very few of them containing 'åäö' seem to have been redirected. As my intention is to write much more about Stockholm, I'm wondering if creating redirects from titles without åäö isn't a better alternative.
Hope you can guide me on this one /

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Shawn Hornbeck. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Navou banter 05:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Just one comment, if I may...factual questions should be referred to WP:RD, and I wouldn't include commercial links in my answer, only the website's page on Wikipedia at best. Cheers. Xiner ( talk, email) 16:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
i'd just like to say something about the changes made to Heart of Midlothian. it was for the benefit of Wikipedia, because Mindaugas Baguzis was only at Hearts on trial, and he has NOT been signed by the club. please check the Hearts website because I know I am right! thakyoy
Thanks for that! (I hate to think of what would happen if someone refactored someone's comments to mean something completely different ... =) Yuser31415 07:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, please can you show me where the discussion of the disputed entry in the above article resulted in agreement for your recent reversion. You commented in the amendment "rv per discussion" but there is no evidence of a consensus resolution on the article talk page which supports your change as you infer in that statement, neither is there anything in support of your edit on your own talk page or the incident page which I've managed to track down - as far as I can tell at least. Indeed, the investigation into your disagreement with another user led to an independent arbiter stating "In all truth, the anon has a pretty good point...". Therefore the closest thing to support for either view that I can find is in support of the other user's edit, which you reverted. Thanks. 62.25.106.209 12:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

81.244.234.127 20:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)== Daniel Radcliffe page ==
I recently visited the page dedicated to Daniel Radcliffe. In one particular section, i noticed that the author wrote "Daniel is gay" which I know hasn't been confirmed yet. While attempting to correct what i first thought to be a mistake- there are, in fact, rumors about Daniel Radcliffe being gay -, but to my great astonishment, i discovered that, in the etiding mode, that sentence did not appear. I thought of a bug, And so I cut the section of the article that was concerned, saved my changes and then re-pasted the article in its original position. Afterwards, the sentence about Daniel Radcliffe being gay was gone. I am not familiar enough with this website to undersand how this could happen. However, i would appreciate it if someone could explain this, so i know what to do if i ever face a similar situation again. 81.244.234.127 20:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not going to pretend that you just 'happened' to stumble across this article. Stop spying on my edits, please. Michaelsanders 10:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
/ɹ/'s in British English do not occur at syllable endings. Also, there are no /ɹː/'s at all in English! I reverted your edit once again, since I think (and I read it somewhere) that HP's articles should be written in British English.

"You could avoid this "two IP" issue by creating an account because, as of know, you don't have a very respectable history."
If you did a bit of research (not your forte as I've seen) before criticising you will find that my two IP address are assigned to one employer - where several thousand people happen to work. Quite possible, don't you think, that there is more than one person here who visits Wikipedia? I see your history (all yours) isn't that impressive either: while you seem to lord it over mostly anons - easy targets - you are often slapped down yourself by established editors, usually for knee-jerk responses and over-reactions in reverting edits without justification and in contravention of Wiki rules - and reporting for infringements and citing rules you do not yourself live by fully. The words "pot" and "kettle" do spring to mind....but plain old "hypocrite" will do fine. Perhaps you should close your account? -- 62.25.106.209 11:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
I suspect the anon IP may be correcting what they think is an error, rather than deliberately vandalizing the articles. The pipetext that they've been removing consists of the call sign excluding the initial K (i.e KABC is sorted as [[Category:Radio stations in California|ABC]] rather than [[Category:Radio stations in California|KABC]]). It was actually done that way for a specific reason (to make radio categories easier to use since their articles all begin with the same first letter), but I think maybe the anon thinks it was just a mistake.
