Pretty Please.... Thank you FuzzyD Much love and positivity your way :) Source — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.150.141.120 (talk) 09:45, 30 October 2012 (UTC) The hunt is apparently continuing on the Sam Winchester page, since the Jared Padalecki page is locked. Might that be rectified? Much thanks. --‖ Ebyabe talk - Opposites Attract ‖ 17:44, 30 October 2012 (UTC) Thanks, it looks like someone else took care of it. --Bongwarrior (talk) 18:38, 30 October 2012 (UTC) Gishwhes Please unprotect the Jared Padelecki page because my Team needs it from me for Misha Collins hunt? That all We want. Thank you, Christine Eliza — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.229.28 (talk) 19:55, 30 October 2012 (UTC) I'm sorry, but that's not happening. Please see the related discussions above. --Bongwarrior (talk) 19:58, 30 October 2012 (UTC) Laura Ramsey Hey there, sorry I didn't respond earlier, that episode made me cease caring for a while. I responded on my talk page, thanks. JesseRafe (talk) 17:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC) ANI discussion Hello. I left a note on the administrators' noticeboard that you may find interesting. It would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks! - Eureka Lott 02:37, 1 November 2012 (UTC) Thanks for letting me know, I vaguely remember blocking and deleting a few of those. --Bongwarrior (talk) 06:59, 1 November 2012 (UTC) Editor Good evening. Saw that you are admin for Wikipedia. I occasionally get on an edit , usually when I see some idiot put something outlandish and flat wrong. I read on wiki a ton. How would I move up my senority so to speak so I can edit even more articles? IE like the one on Halloween. You locked it and rightfully so, I think it was a good move. However in the opening paragraph last line it ends by saying (paraphrasing) "that Halloween has turned in to robbing and looting. Which I don't think is accurate. Nor does it have a proper citation to back that assertion up in my opinion. U can look at my prior edits to see my street cred lol .... If you could direct on the process to move up in rank to be able to have access and edit more that would be much appreciated. Happy Halloween! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lottie20032 (talk • contribs) 02:55, 1 November 2012 (UTC) Im an idiot... Thought the above post woulda left my details. The above post and this post is from lottie20032 Thanks Lottie20032 (talk) 02:59, 1 November 2012 (UTC) Happy Halloween to you too, and thank you for offering to help. Your account has been around long enough that you are autoconfirmed, which basically means that you can edit 99.9% of all the pages on Wikipedia, whether they are semiprotected or not - you are able and encouraged to edit the Halloween article, for example. You don't really need any special permissions to be able to help, just a willingness to fix any problems that you notice. If you think a page might have been vandalized, there are some good tips at Wikipedia:Dealing with vandalism. Usually, all you will need to do is check the last edit and undo if needed, but sometimes it's a little trickier than that. If you see something wrong but you aren't sure how to fix it, there's nothing wrong with asking for some help. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 07:21, 1 November 2012 (UTC) Thanks Many thanks, Bongwarrior, for keeping an eye out for vandalism on my personal pages. Regards, Pinethicket (talk) 10:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC) And thanks for this. It happened like 10 seconds after I pulled up my watchlist! Thanks for keeping a close eye. :) • Jesse V.(talk) 21:53, 3 November 2012 (UTC) Apology Sorry for my edits. I was just testing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hahahahohoho22222 (talk • contribs) 09:15, 3 November 2012 (UTC) Procedure query Please, what is the full procedure in blocking a user whose username's appropriateness is queried in Wikipedia:Usernames_for_administrator_attention/Bot? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:15, 4 November 2012 (UTC) Depends on how bad the name is, and how bad the edits are (if they have edited). And always take the bot reports with a grain of salt - a lot of those tend to be false positives. Which particular user were you wondering about? --Bongwarrior (talk) 10:22, 4 November 2012 (UTC) User:ALongBrownTurd, listed in Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention/Bot. One edit, which was vandalism. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:26, 4 November 2012 (UTC) I would probably {{Vaublock}} and disable their ability to create a different username. If it was just the username with no edits, I would probably softblock and let them choose a new name, but it is sometimes useful to let the report linger until they edit, in order to see what their intentions are. --Bongwarrior (talk) 10:39, 4 November 2012 (UTC) Of course, often times you can judge the user's intentions by the username alone, if it is sufficiently foul. In those cases, there's no point in waiting for additional evidence - just block them as you would a regular vandal-only account. --Bongwarrior (talk) 11:02, 4 November 2012 (UTC) What should I also do in leaving messages and information on one page or another? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC) If you mean the user's talk page, there are various templated block messages specific to vandal+username, username hardblocked, and username softblocked. The templated reasons at the bottom of Special:Block will automatically appear when the blocked user tries to edit - if the user's talk page is a redlink, I will usually skip leaving a message for them there because the red "this user is blocked" banner will appear at the top of the screen. If the user's talk page has been edited, the banner doesn't show, so I'll usually leave a message there. --Bongwarrior (talk) 10:55, 4 November 2012 (UTC) Please, where are these templated block messages listed?Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC) Category:User block templates, and at the bottom of the pulldown menu on the block screen. --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:52, 4 November 2012 (UTC) Hello I am very sorry if I have done something to annoy you regarding my reversion of User_talk:129.100.107.81 edits... I promise that I have never had any such intention. I am curious about the number of reversions claimed. When I made the apology to his talk page, I only saw one reversion. I don't see two. Was there another that was removed or something? Again, I sincerely hope I am not annoying you, you seem like a very reasonable person. --Sue Rangell 22:07, 6 November 2012 (UTC) Not at all - I had removed the first warning that you left, but not the second. --Bongwarrior (talk) 22:09, 6 November 2012 (UTC) Fuck you Bongwarrior. I want the world to know of my masters importance!
