Awarded to Suffusion of Yellow for meritorious editing. Thank you for your good work with new articles written by an unknown editor. As part of this project I created an account with a dubious username and wrote ten referenced but badly formatted stubs about Antarctic mosses. Your cleanup has been impressive, and please feel free to ping me on my regular account--I feel a bit guilty for not having started them better, but was trying to imitate the style of a new user.

You're quite a bit better with that sort of article than I am. Thank you and cheers! :)

You have been granted with the rollback permission on the basis of your recent effort on dealing with vandalism. The rollback is a revert tool which can lessen the strains that normal javascripts such as twinkle put on the Wikipedia servers. You will find that you will revert faster through the rollback than through the normal reversion tools such as javascripts and the undo feature, because the rollback feature does not require fetching the data from the page history and then sending article data back to the Wikipedia server as the javascript requires, therefore you could save time especially when reverting very large articles such as the George W. Bush page. To use it, simply click the link which should look like [rollback] (which should appear unbolded if you have twinkle installed) on the latest diff page. The rollback link will also appear on the history page beside the edit summary of the last edit. For more information, you may refer to this page, alternatively, you may also find this tutorial on rollback helpful. — Tivedshambo ( t/ c) 10:54, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

As part of WP:NEWT I created a new account and started an intentionally malformed article which I expected to be promptly deleted. Instead, it was to my great surprise to find that you had made an actual effort to restore the page and make it a valuable addition. Wikipedia needs more editors like yourself. – Juliancolton | Talk 17:31, 10 November 2009 (UTC) |

I first blocked for 72 hrs and then reblocked for 12. IMO, not worth wasting time on thinking. The block is only a message, it doesn't really matter 12 or 72 - the user is not destructive to the mainframe, just trolling. I'm watching their talk and will reblock for longer next time. Please leave me a note if they resume their activity. Also, don't hesitate to drop other messages. Cheers. Materialscientist ( talk) 05:32, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Well I noticed one of you guys just blocked me yesterday. I'm back now. Someone else just edited the Porridge article expressing their own joy about dipping their nuts in porridge and it wasn't long before one of your fellow men censored him. I'm a little appalled by your urges to censor this new concept on porridge but I'll tell you what - I won't hold a grudge, I'll play it your way. Why don't we make a compromise to keep both parties happy? I'll play it by the book... I'll write about porridge-dipping a lot more professionally, I'll even cite the correct references next time I write about porridge-dipping next time I write about it. I'll even put it into a separate section on the article if you like, or I'll make a completely separate article about it. How does that sound? Keep in touch! :) Frozenfool20 ( talk) 12:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed your test page with special characters in the article name, and it seems we're both looking at the same problem.

I'm currently autoblocked. The autoblock template won't format correctly unless I put in my IP address, and I'm not going to do that. The account that got me autoblocked is
User:Suffusion of Yellow&more?, which I created to check if Lupin's recent2.js correctly parses usernames which contain special characters (see the discussion above). I was trying to find the correct template to use for alternate accounts when
User:NawlinWiki blocked the alternate account for impersonating me (which I appreciate, by the way!). I posted an unblock request from the other account, and
User:Daniel Case put it on hold. I'm not sure that he realizes that this account is autoblocked. I don't know if it's possible to un-auto-block an account without knowing its IP address. If not, please decline this request and I'll take a 24-hour wikibreak. :-)

I didn't mean to stomp on your edit, you just managed to do the same thing I was trying to do (you just seem to type quicker than I do). I just overwrote yours as I had added some of the awards he won. Vulture19 ( talk) 00:13, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
If this is incorrectly formatted or in the wrong place, please forgive. This time, I am not aiming for mischief.
I'm actually a bit fascinated by the regenerative power wiki articles seem to have thanks to those like yourself. I'm wondering if you are paid to do this, or if there are just so many devoted users out there that a happy balance is had.
I maliciously edited (vandalized) two articles tonight and found them both QUICKLY restored and a warning given. I did it because certain referenced people's actions highly offended me, so I meant to vilely slander them as I deemed they deserved all the retribution the world could give. I still believe the latter.
But I also believe in the beauty of truth and accuracy, and I am glad to know my childish efforts have been thwarted. It's good to know that we can count on wikipedia and it's loyal users to protect truth and nurture it.
So... thanks, I guess.
Again, if this is in the wrong place, please, my apologies. Unfortunately, it was not obvious how/where to leave you a message. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.74.240.121 ( talk) 06:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
The user named Zoogom has received 3 warnings of vandalism already and very recently he/she vandalized the article Mexicans by deleting a section and typing in a goof note in it's place, you can see this for yourself in the history of the article. This person appears to just be here for the sole purpose of causing disruption. Just letting you know since I saw that you gave him a final warning on his page. Ocelotl10293 ( talk) 22:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
We are having problems with the user Chris Iz Cali. He/she has a record for vandalizing all Mexico related articles by supplanting false information and deleting sections or sources. If you check his history you will see he has been doing this for some time now and has been warned several times to stop his disruptive edits but shows no willingness to stop or cooperate with other editors. I don't know how to report him/her so I'm letting you know since you seem to know how to deal with vandals better than me. Ocelotl10293 ( talk) 22:14, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

We may never know the real ethnography of Mexico since the Mexican gov't does not have a racial census. However, most statistics on this subject are estimates/educated guesses. I say the CIA world factbbook is wrong because it has old sources dating back to 1999 and 2004. The statistics/estimates for the ethnography of Mexico by the CIA is about 20 years old, about when the illegal immigration began. By that time, the demographics might have changed, and the 1990s also brought many white Latin Americans such as the Argentines. This is just my point of view, I am sorry if I have edited perhaps inapporpriately. But I just cannot see the Natives respresenting such a huge chunk of the Mexican population. Especially since most immigration to USA by Mexicans has been by Native and mestizo Mexicans, since all statistics show that they are the poorest in Mexico, whites would not go as illegals, or else the US popular media would picture illegals as white, and not brown (as they always do). The reason they are poor may be the effects of social racism, corruptness, the effects of the old caste system, or any combination of these three. If many mestizos and Natives are leaving Mexico and many whites (such as Argentines) are taking their place, then wouldn't you say that it is only logical for mestizo and Native populations to have shrunk (at least a little)?-- Chris Iz Cali ( talk) 01:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
I say we find more sources and stop relying wholly on the CIA world factbook.-- Chris Iz Cali ( talk) 01:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

No, I did not, I'm going to assume that it was some sort of edit conflict between myself using Huggle and the current revision using Twinkle, not sure specifically what happened. Thanks for the tip on the auto signing, I will do that. Also, not sure what you mean when you say that people frown on signatures like mine. Can you clarify? Thanks, cheers. petiatil »speak 09:21, 31 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petiatil ( talk • contribs)
First of all, thank you for caring and warning me before deleting the article.
Well, obviously, the words which show no hits on Google do so because of two reasons. For the name of the creator "Wirieg Azqud", there is no entry since the problem is completely new, unknown and un-commented anywhere. As for the other word, it is completely normal that the searcher does not find it since it is a coded/encrypted word, as the article says.
I am sorry if the article is causing you any problem.

Again, if this is in the wrong place, please, my apologies. Unfortunately, it was not obvious how/where to leave you a message. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.74.240.121 ( talk) 06:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
The user named Zoogom has received 3 warnings of vandalism already and very recently he/she vandalized the article Mexicans by deleting a section and typing in a goof note in it's place, you can see this for yourself in the history of the article. This person appears to just be here for the sole purpose of causing disruption. Just letting you know since I saw that you gave him a final warning on his page.

We are having problems with the user Chris Iz Cali. He/she has a record for vandalizing all Mexico related articles by supplanting false information and deleting sections or sources. If you check his history you will see he has been doing this for some time now and has been warned several times to stop his disruptive edits but shows no willingness to stop or cooperate with other editors. I don't know how to report him/her so I'm letting you know since you seem to know how to deal with vandals better than me. Ocelotl10293 ( talk) 22:14, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Re your message: No problem. Sometimes a welcome and a single warning works and sometimes it doesn't. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 06:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Oops! Very sorry: I reverted the wrong edit when I saw this silly sentence appear on my watchlist (didn't realize he had reverted it himself). -- Azurfrog ( talk) 08:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I had to cut and paste, because the page already existed, unless there is another way? Dusti SPEAK!! 01:26, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Yeah no worries. Hmm your userpage seems to be a prominent target for vandals. - Reconsider !
Just wanted to say thanks again for correcting the title of Today Was a Fairytale... had I known that it wouldn't be capitalized when I added it, I'd have let someone more experienced do it! The Mach Turtle ( talk) 04:58, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the revert on my userpage. Ian.thomson ( talk) 02:37, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
We may never know the real ethnography of Mexico since the Mexican gov't does not have a racial census. However, most statistics on this subject are estimates/educated guesses. I say the CIA world factbbook is wrong because it has old sources dating back to 1999 and 2004. The statistics/estimates for the ethnography of Mexico by the CIA is about 20 years old, about when the illegal immigration began. By that time, the demographics might have changed, and the 1990s also brought many white Latin Americans such as the Argentines. This is just my point of view, I am sorry if I have edited perhaps inapporpriately. But I just cannot see the Natives respresenting such a huge chunk of the Mexican population. Especially since most immigration to USA by Mexicans has been by Native and mestizo Mexicans, since all statistics show that they are the poorest in Mexico, whites would not go as illegals, or else the US popular media would picture illegals as white, and not brown (as they always do). The reason they are poor may be the effects of social racism, corruptness, the effects of the old caste system, or any combination of these three. If many mestizos and Natives are leaving Mexico and many whites (such as Argentines) are taking their place, then wouldn't you say that it is only logical for mestizo and Native populations to have shrunk (at least a little)?-- Chris Iz Cali ( talk) 01:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
I say we find more sources and stop relying wholly on the CIA world factbook.-- Chris Iz Cali ( talk) 01:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
I've restored the deletion template to MEOW. You can speedy it if you like. I thought that, with 7 million google hits, it wouldn't get deleted :P. Allformweek ( talk) 23:34, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
No, I did not, I'm going to assume that it was some sort of edit conflict between myself using Huggle and the current revision using Twinkle, not sure specifically what happened. Thanks for the tip on the auto signing, I will do that. Also, not sure what you mean when you say that people frown on signatures like mine. Can you clarify? Thanks, cheers. petiatil »speak 09:21, 31 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petiatil ( talk • contribs)
First of all, thank you for caring and warning me before deleting the article.
Well, obviously, the words which show no hits on Google do so because of two reasons. For the name of the creator "Wirieg Azqud", there is no entry since the problem is completely new, unknown and un-commented anywhere. As for the other word, it is completely normal that the searcher does not find it since it is a coded/encrypted word, as the article says.
I am sorry if the article is causing you any problem.
