[edit]Don't go away anymore please. :D . Welcome 'Wiki-home'. 156.34.239.151 (talk) 01:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Libs!!! Mr. Anon!!! Teh awesome!!! Great to see ya mate. I make no promises, but of course I'll stride to stick around! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Make you a deal. If you work towards a range block on good ol' Mark753's range - 142.162.X... I will consider getting a user account he types with fingers crossed behind his back :-D 156.34.239.151 (talk) 01:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ohh you sly devil. I'm not a admin anymore so I couldn't do it. But uhh Sir Alf might be persuaded to do it. Has Mark been around causing trouble and annoyance in my absence? KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Mark is IP trolling 99% of the time. You are the one who knows the history better than anyone. Trying to type it all out and show all the diffs... the userpage vandalism... the 'everything else's'... I can just keep reverting him as I see him. If he gets too out of control I'll have my "scary manager give him a Pat". Alf is still having ISP troubles.. m'thinks. Or he just doesn't give a f**k anymore :D. I think it's the ISP thing 156.34.239.151 (talk) 01:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I actually stopped. I haven't vandalized in ages. Post link to a diff of mine in the past two weeks which has vandalism.. and I don't mean erasing text, or something like that.

- I asked him the same thing when he left...and now we have learned, we will never let him leave again! :) Tiptoety talk 01:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- You know I did try to convey that it wasn't a permanent departure. I'm not very good at that, due to the fact that I'm much smoother in my head, at least when compared to typing/saying things out loud! ;) Oh and you deserved it very very much.

[edit]I am so glad to see you back! That brought a smile to my face! Funny, I've been thinking about taking a break too ... not so easy to actually do though. :) Cheers and welcome back! Antandrus (talk) 01:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- I can say the same thing to you! It feels good to test the waters of the wiki once more. Sadly I'm afraid I'm quite rusty and not performing to my old standards, I'm getting beat almost all the time on the reverts now. O_O I'm hoping to change that soon enough. ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well I'll be easy to beat, since I'm currently working on an old laptop with a creaky touchpad. I don't do as much RC patrolling as I used to; there's a lot of newcomers and new tools for them, and the bots keep getting better too. It seems the trolls have gotten progressively nastier -- or is that just an illusion of needing a break? Dunno ... :) Antandrus (talk) 02:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- I thought the trolls were pretty nasty when I took that break (they were a part of the reason), but if they are getting worse they need a good old kick on the bum. You then take your cue from, revert, block, ignore. Not always the easiest thing to do I know. I just wish I had the old tools again just to get that block on a trolandal, for the first time in a long time. :D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- So ask... Keilana|Parlez ici 02:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oh I don't think I'm even ready for it yet. A lot can change in 2 months and I haven't read anything policy related for admins in months. I'd be out of the loop, and that may lead to a few mistakes. I've thought about asking for it though, and I plan on it seeking the tools whenever I feel competent enough to use them again. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you want admin coaching again, I'd be happy to oblige. (Easiest coaching job ever...) Don't go through RfA again, that would be stupid. Keilana|Parlez ici 02:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- You know it couldn't hurt, so yes I'll take you up on your offer, thank you. I must tell you though I have strong beliefs when it comes to using the tools and I may be a dis-agreeable student! :P KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Haha, this will be easy IMO. Not much has changed, what do you think you need a refresher on? I could go over pretty much everything, or just a few things. Whatever would work for you. (Bit of an odd coaching assignment, this, as it won't end in RfA.) Keilana|Parlez ici 02:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- I couldn't pick anything obvious right off the bat, so I would suggest confirming that my quasi-essay on admins isn't too rouge now. :) But perhaps IRC would be a better medium for this? KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Your essay is great, I agree with most of it. I don't/can't use IRC, so how about a subpage? We can just quickly review policy etc., it shouldn't take that long. :P Keilana|Parlez ici 03:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sure that works for me. Why don't you create one, (doesn't matter whose user space) and perhaps make a concise list of situations I'm sure to encounter once the tools are back? :P And I'm curious, what aspect of my essay thingy don't you agree with? :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm...list of situations. This could get interesting. I'll break it down by tool area (protection, deletion, blocking, etc.) to make it easier. Subpage is User:KnowledgeOfSelf/Admin coaching. As for your essay, I agree with everything except your saying it's very wrong to semi your talk page, some people have a legit need for semi-protection basically all the time. It's rare, and that's details. It's a great essay, really. Keilana|Parlez ici 03:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've started things off there, would you mind looking it over? Keilana|Parlez ici 03:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks I appreciate that, and I've added that page to my watchlist, so I'm keen to see what you come up for me. I might not get to far into it until tomorrow though. I've gotta be up in 5 hours for work so I should be sleeping right now. :| As to the semi-protection thing. The way I see it, (again this is my experience) I did a lot of vandal patrol and general clean-up edits. So a lot of anons have contacted me, or had a question/comment/complaint about an edit I made. I try to encourage communication between users above most anything else. So for someone like me to have my talk page semi-protected removes anons from asking for my help/pointing out a mistake/or just plain old venting, which everyone needs to do sometimes! I personally can't think of a reason to have sp on a user talk page on a permanent basis. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Whenever you can get to it is fine with me, I'll go around cribbing good questions until you've finished reviewing admin stuff. :P I see where you're coming from on the sp thing, though. Keilana|Parlez ici 03:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Looks good so far, I'll try not to disappoint with my answers. But they are coming tomorrow, I must get sleep. Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing what else you cook up for me! :) Cheers. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Sandbox
[edit]Just want to say sorry for that. My edit was actually a test; I was trying something with the Rollback thinking it would work. It didn't. :P -WarthogDemon 02:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- I see. Sorry about that again. My test was not only a failure but bad timing. D: I was actually going to back to a sane place without a redirect but you beat me to it. Sorry again; I'd have used my own sandbox but my test required a sandbox where multiple users edit. I shall take more care. Anyways, happy editing. :) -WarthogDemon 02:22, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching
[edit]Well, IMO you're already up to snuff. I'd like you to review the rollback stuff (shouldn't be too complicated) especially, but other stuff isn't as urgent. Your answers are great, if you want to keep going that would be fine, if not, WP:BN is expecting you. :) Keilana|Parlez ici 23:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hey I was just going to stop by to leave you a message. I'm sorry for the delay in not answering the rest of the questions, they require thought, and that is something I don't want to do after 10 hours at work. :) I'll finish them off soon.
- As to the rollback, I was around when that happened, I'm sure it has evolved since I last looked, but I'll say it now and again, I won't be granting those rights to anyone, and I won't be active with that function. (I did tell you I'd be a dis-agreeable student!) I'll still answer the questions of course. :) Thanks for your help and encouragement Keilana, I appreciate it very much. Cheers! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Aah, I figured that's what happened. :) Don't worry about the rollback stuff, plenty of people just ignore it and go about their business. (incidentally, do you have the permission? If not, I'll give it to you.) No problem, it's somewhat odd though, coaching a more "senior" admin... Keilana|Parlez ici 03:22, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Your answers were excellent. Is there anything else you want to review before resysopping? Keilana|Parlez ici 02:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, you tell me! You are the coach. ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, you've gone over blocking and protection, I assume you can still judge consensus in AFDs (not much has changed), you should probably look over the CSD criteria to refresh them. The sysop js has all the reasons in a nice list, so you should be fine. IMO, you should ask for the tools now, and read the CSD stuff while you wait for a nice crat. :) Keilana|Parlez ici 02:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, sounds good, thanks coach. :D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

142.162.187.183 (talk) 21:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
And I NEVER troll anymore. Removing a genre or adding a comma isn't trolling.
142.162.187.183 (talk) 21:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- It matters not, I explained this to you before, as a banned user you are not allowed to edit wikipedia. When you are found out you are blocked. However, the comment was not particularly rude, or trollish so I'll tell you what, consider this your chance to prove that you have reformed fully. I'll be watching you, and if you put a toe out of line you will be blocked. BTW removing a music genre can be vandalism. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

- LOL. Sorry, it was very nice. It sorta just went all muddled in my talk page and I lost it! I thank you kindly. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Article for notability & verifiability, possibly deletion
[edit]Hi. I was working on removing unreliable sources from this article and also tagged it for speedy deletion. My changes were reverted. Can you please help me with this? Or let me know if I should do this a different way? I was trying to explain my reasons with regard to Wikipedia guidelines. This article was deleted in the past, and it doesn't look as if the article has been much improved, as the sources are few and questionable. Thanks for your input Peggynature (talk) 01:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry I didn't notice where you tried to explain your reasons behind your edits. I reverted you because you appeared to remove a large amount of context. My advice would be to use the talk page, and to use a descriptive edit summary. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- I've done that. Thanks for your help. Also, I think I used the wrong tag; I'll fix that. Peggynature (talk) 01:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
hey :) The IP sent an email to OTRS to ask for an unblock. While I personally find them midly annoying (I just read the whole talk page), the editors there think we should give him don't seem to think a block was warranted at that stage. What do you think? (I would be in favor of reversing the block and see how it goes). -- lucasbfr talk 12:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey hey hey. Sorry mate no cookies this time around. ;)
- KnowledgeOfSelf gives lucasbfr a cookie anyway.
- I've unblocked the IP with an noted apology in the log. And a apology on his talk page. I'll make a note of the unblocking on the article talk page too. Thanks for the message! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 14:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- woot, cookies! Thanks (I edit conflicted with you on the article's talk page :)). I sent him an email. -- lucasbfr talk 14:17, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey buddy
[edit]Hey what's up, man? I'm glad you like my user page. I just thought that there was too much going for it, so I had to remove all the excess and just wrote about me. Plus, one of my friends told me it was cheesy hahahha. Well, the "going to the gym" thing was intentional. It's actually all I think about right now. It's probably because I was so skinny before, but not anymore :).
By the way, how are things with you man? Hope all is well. Orane (talk) 00:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Equipment operator? Hmm, wow. Sounds fancy. I'm glad to know you're doing so peachy lol. I'm under stress right now because of final exams. And the bad thing is that my exams are all spaced out, and the last one is May 2nd. Other than that, I'm doing great too. Glad for the summer; this winter was the worst ever. Too much snow :(.

The IP that just targeted your page
[edit]seems to be the same user. Looks static, and zero constructive edits. Enigma message Review 02:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Attack page against Gwernol
[edit]I was trying to post a db-attack on that page, then warn the editor, but you deleted it before I could warn the editor. I take it that the appropriate action will be taken. Can't have our hard-working admins like Gwernol attacked like that, can we? Mjroots (talk) 17:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Genre changing
[edit]Hi there. I would like to bring you attention to this user Special:Contributions/82.38.65.47, who has been repeatedly changing genres on numerous articles. The reason I am asking you take a look at it is because you were the one who dealt with the same problem with tis user a few months ago, and I'm not convinced it needs immediate attention at WP:AIV. You will see they have received several bans and numerous warnings in the months after these bans expired. Could you take a look at their history and decide on the best course of action? Cheers Nouse4aname (talk) 11:03, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't have very much time on my hands for the Wiki anymore. I'll keep an eye on him, when I can. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: Stop
[edit]Ha ha ha... But there is just so much to revert! It's a busy night! Always great to see you around, KoS... You are an amazing VF! κaτaʟavenoTC 00:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah it looks like it, but I take it back! Revert the vandals to your hearts content! I must run. ;) Thanks for the message! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:21, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi again... could you do me a favour the next time you are on... Could you semi-protect my user page for me? That would be much appreciated. κaτaʟavenoTC 02:41, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Done. :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Ooops!
[edit]Went out and left my computer on (Skype, and all my tabs open.. not sure what I was thinking.. or not thinking ;)) so sorry I missed you. Been a while.. I've just been off for 2 weeks pretty damn hectic; I hate it! Anyway, been running into some good music... we should eventually catch each other (I have been telling myself this for 5 months). Each time I "/query KnowledgeOfSelf" on irc I feel as if I really ought to have more knowledge about myself.. I always get nothing :P. Drop me a line, or an email. --Ali K (talk) 16:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Syops bits
[edit]Hey, just ask a bureaucrat to regrant you with rights. YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER RFA in order to reclaim back your rights. Also, can you change black on dark gray to white on dark grey, b/c many older people can't see the text. Thanks. miranda 00:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you...

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Things Fall Apart 41172.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:Things Fall Apart 41172.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you
[edit]for your intervention out of nowhere. You're always good for a surprise :) --Oxymoron83 00:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
SHIROCK Deletion
[edit]I am not clear I understand why you insist on deleting the SHIROCK article...they are one of my favorite bands and they are gaining a lot of popularity and need a page on Widipedia. Article A7 doesn't apply because they are gaining notability and deserve a page. What are your thoughts and reasons behind the deletion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jennifer345 (talk • contribs) 00:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Because the band is one of your favorites does not mean it deserves an article on Wikipedia. Gaining popularity is not a valid argument without reliable sources to back it up. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:46, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
