help

how do you insert a image? (i.e for vanadlism warnings or recent changes patroller)? --Dog Eat Dog World 23:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I sent you an email back when you asked this, but never heard from you again. I hoped it answered your questions. --Krich (talk) 04:08, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great work!!

I was busy blocking the IMDB vandal and found that you've reverted all his edits by the time I finished blocking him. Great work, keep it up!! --Gurubrahma 08:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, same to you! --Krich (talk) 04:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Paul McCartney / Left or Right Handed

Hi Krich

I'm brand new to Wikipedia, but already having a ball!

I was about to tell you off for deleting my contribution in Paul's trivia section (if indeed it was you), however, that is precisely what I was guilty of in the first place! Perhaps I should have started a discussion first? Anyway, shall be seriously researching this subject over the next couple of days thanks to you. Probably learning tons of other stuff on the way! Watching football right now so the Beatles can wait.

Nope, that wasn't me who deleted the material in the article. I did add some sourcing and verification info on the talk page, I think it pretty much settled the issue for the other editors. It contains a quote from Paul himself answring the question. Thanks, --Krich (talk) 03:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please check your WP:NA entry

Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:

If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.

Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BD2412 T 03:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trench Warfare

I was just in the process of giving that guy a warning when I got an edit conflict & noted you'd already done so - great minds think alike :) Longshot14 17:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia! That happens sometimes when reverting vandalism, you often bump up against others also removing the nonsense. I think it's a good think, shows that sometimes our efforts overlap and create a more dense screen against the vandals. Thanks for the help! --Krich (talk) 04:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars Trading Card Game

Kirch I don't know if you know this, but Gollum really is the best SWTCG player ever, okay. Have you ever played, do you know anything about the game or it's players? I do, and this is a FACT. (This UNSIGNED comment left by 71.115.57.82 15:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Sorry, upon checking it looks like your edits weren't vandalism. "Best in the world" probably needs some sourcing and/or toning down, but it was mistake to have rolled back your first edits while I was RC Patrolling, and I've left your reverts alone. Good luck --Krich (talk) 19:11, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism of Latinos

I'm sorry but this is a genuine article, and not a matter of vandelism, but of great local heritage. Please refrain from vandelising my carefully written and researched articles. (This unsigned comment was left by 84.67.184.108 18:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Looks like vandalism to me, and to several other editors reverting your nonsense. Please leave the redirect alone. --Krich (talk) 19:06, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Experimenting on the WBRU article

May I ask why you think I'm experimenting while I'm adding information regarding their April Fools prank? And why do you keep reverting the page?

Cheers, Nite Nite

Wikipedia articles are not the place to play out a local radio station's April Fool's Day prank. The article was being jerked around mercilessly. I reverted all the vandalism edits I could find, it appears that others editors and admins joined me, and an admin then temporarily protected the page to prevent further vandalism.

The notice on your talk page was a standard, 1st-level warning about spurious edits. Please continue to contribute to Wikipedia, just not in this fashion. Thanks! --Krich (talk) 20:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This "April Fool's Prank" is part of the history of the radio station. If you lived in the area you would understand that until about 5:00pm when all kinds of stuff went down in regards to the station, if wasn't exactly realized to be an April Fool's Prank. If you would read the history and comments you would understand that many people didn't believe this was an April Fool's Prank at all. Listeners called up the radio station crying thinking that the radio station was being taken over by some media conglomerate goons.

The wikipedia updates served as a wonderful history of the past few days about what was going on and whether or not it was real or not. Why you think this is not deemed of a Wikipedia entry for just a few days (it was listed as a current event) until all details are finalized I don't understand.

Please keep your counter vandalism efforts to things you might know a thing about. It is clearly not vandalism, it was very informative (read the discussion page of people thanking people for the updates). The page should at least be reverted back to the timeline before you reverted everything with a few new updates, and in a few days once everyone realizes the scale of the event a proper footnote in the entry can be written. - Ryan (This unsigned comment was left by 24.147.118.244 21:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I'm sorry, Ryan, but that is not the reason Wikipedia exists. This is not a webspace provider, nor a blog or fan site. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and I'm sure you wouldn't expect to see an ongoing listing of events happening during a local radio station's April Fool's Day prank in an encyclopedia article.

If the prank turns out to be notable in the history of the station, a line or two referring to what happened might be appropriate (I honestly doubt such a normal radio prank would be so notable, but assuming that it does become so). But the ongoing listings of songs, reactions to the prank, comments from DJs, etc, are not.

Also, please note that I am not the administrator who protected the page. Not only was the page temporarily protected by a Wikipedia admin, but someone has already requested that the protection be removed, and other admins have declined to do so.

I hope that you stay and enjoy Wikipedia, and continue to contribute to Wikipedia - just please read up a bit on our guidelines and policies. Thanks again, --Krich (talk) 22:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would you kindly never accuse me of vandalism no matter how egotistical you are. I added FACTUL UPDATES on a CURRENT EVENT. That has never and most likey will never be a Wikipedia violation. You were completly out of line by twice telling me to stop vandalizing WBRU. Look up the definition of that word, apparently you haven't the faintest clue what it means. Next time, you should maybe find out what is actually going on before you start throwing out accusations and reverting pages. You should be ashamed of yourself. You give Wikipedia a bad name and you are the reason that Wikipedia is not considered a creditable source. -caf3623

I'm sorry you are upset, caf3623 - it was not my intention, nor I'm sure was it the intention of the other editors and the admin who worked to clean up the mess that was made of the WBRU page yesterday and the night before. The BRU page was being hit so often and so fast with the spurious edits that a Wikipedia administrator (not me) had to temporarily protect the page - that is, temporarily bar anonymous and brand new registered users from editing the page. That is something that we really don't like to do, even for a short time.

I saw that you found the correct page to request that temporary page protection to be lifted, and there yet another administrator explained to you that the edits happening at BRU constituted vandalism, and refused to lift the temp protection - so you should be aware by now that the activity happening at the BRU page were not something allowed here at Wikipedia.

I also understand that you are a very new registered user (within the last day or two) of Wikipedia, and the edits to the BRU page make up almost all of your edits so far. You obviously aren't very familiar with how things work here. Now that you have found us, we'd love for you to stay and participate constructively to the encyclopedia - to help, I'm going to drop a note on your talk page with some links about how to get started here, and some of our basic policies. If you will read through those, and then my comments above and on the WBRU talk page again, I think you will see where things went wrong here.

Block

Could you please block this user? 72.59.27.197 They keep vandalizing articles. See their contributions: [1] --Sebesta 19:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm not an administrator, and can't execute a block (although I agree this ip needs another one). I've placed a 4th level warning on his talk page, and I'm watching his edits - if he continues, I'll place a notice on the Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism page - or you can do that too. Thanks, and good luck --Krich (talk) 19:37, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help anyway! I've just seen the list of your recent contributions and your edit count. I think you would be a good administrator. Ok, I'll be keeping an eye on this person. --Sebesta 19:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can't sleep, clown will eat me RFA 33⅓

Thank you for your early support during my third RFA. The self-nomination was a success, with an unexpected number of participants from all over the world. Your support was particularly meaningful because of all the time and effort you've dedicated to keeping Wikipedia free of vandalism. If you ever need anything, are feeling snackish, or would just like to chat, please feel free to visit me on my talk page; I never sleep. 8-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 19:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That RfA was fun to watch, and it was my pleasure to cast an early support vote for you. Your kind words are much appreciated. Please do the same and drop me a note or feel free to call on me if you need anything, I rarely sleep as well (looking at Interiot's tool, it appears I only sleep between 13-15 UTC!) --Krich (talk) 17:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michigan City vandals

Please, we were just trying to make the outside world more aware of the rather disgusting truth of our hometown. It was just in jest - however, the jest was a truth. (This unsigned comment was left by 206.158.2.80 15:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I'm sorry, but Wikipedia just isn't the place for that sort of thing. Please remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox or a place to make a point. Thanks! --Krich (talk) 17:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

19:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Sorry I didn't know about writing at the bottom. Look my only purpose on wikipedia was to give more information and make indian cinema known here with many articles. i chose to work on rani mukerji's page was only because you guys didn't put much there and i thought whatever you wrote was not good enough. that is why i attempted to write. i told you before i'm not a professional. i respect you people. edit my writing if you may. don't revert my work. i know i need to make it more neutral but u can help me with that. i just collected all the useful information yesterday. i couldn't make everything perfect just in one day. it will take time. you can help. all i want to say is that you cannot cut the length of the page. whatever is on there is true. read the saathiya interview at the bottom where it says press coverage. the whole interview correstponds to the breakout role. i even watched the koffee with karan show where karan johar confirms that saathiya was a milestone in her career and from then onwards she became Yash Chopra's muse working in: hum tum, veer-zaara, bunty aur babli, saif n rani new film. although they first started with mujhse dosti karoge but the film was a flop. thats what i wrote in the breakout role. the film was a flop. so there u go. we have something negative against her. if you see all the award shows on tv, yash chopra and rani sit together all the time. although preity zinta is also another yash chopra film worker, rani is more partial to him. i'll try to neutralize the page. but it's tagged vandalism so im scared to touch it. you should help me. lastly, i wasnt trying to flatter u. simply encourage u to help me. i need u guys! thanks! shez グレン 12:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Recent Test1

Hey. I noticed on a user page (80.Something.Something.219?) you warned him about editing Creataceous? That was a different user. Under his contribs he has only contributed to Hempden Park.

Thought you should know, Logical2u 21:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I had already spotted that (a copy'n'paste left over from the previous vandal revert), but I appreciate the heads-up anyway! --Krich (talk) 21:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected vandalism - Wrong

I have you know that Oliver Hurley is a well-known actor in new zealand and Is mostly know playing for in the play Anorexic Schoolboy!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.34.186.251 (talk • contribs).

Can you provide a reference? He's so well known that I can't find a single reference to a Oliver Hurley of that age being in such a play. --Krich (talk) 19:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Recent Revert

You recently reverted a hangon notice. Whether or not these are placed validly, they should not be reverted. Alphachimp ^talk 23:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I was reverting an incorrect usage - it was originally placed in parentheses, not brackets. However, the editor who inserted the tag fixed it just as I was reverting, so both his tags were acidentally reverted. --Krich (talk) 23:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Walt Disney: Known Anti-Semite

Please do not hide the truth about Walt Disney. He was not some cuddly old man, he hated Jews, and was a known anti-semite. Not including this in your article makes it biased and witholds the truth about a very evil human being.

Walt Disney really really really hated the Jews. I have my sources —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.46.78.232 (talk • contribs).

This is not vandalism, it is balancing a very biased article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.46.78.232 (talk • contribs).

Hi, I dont really know how to use this but..I'm gonna hope this works. Okay, some of the nonsense stuff is not me. I just wanted to say that the things I added to the history section of the Panic! At the Disco page, are entirely true. According to their label, they ARE touring with Jack's Mannequin and Bloc Party this November. According to MTV News and Brent Wilson's brother, Brent IS filing a lawsuit against P!ATD. So please stop deleting that part. You can cite sources or clean it up or whatever, but it is TRUE. As for the nonsense, well that can obviously go. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.38.68.244 (talk • contribs).

Peter Lamborn Wilson / NAMBLA

I noticed that you accused the user from 24.80.178.251 of vandalism, saying that he was inserting nonsense into the Peter Lamborn Wilson article. While his edits are debatable and lack a bit of sociability in form, I don't think they're nonsense or vandalism. I think I know who the editor is, and the issue of Hakim Bey's pedophilia looms rather large in his view of the world's problems. So he is POV pushing, to an extent. Nevertheless, the citations he has just provided in the list of PLW's writings on boy-love are real, and I think he has a geniune contribution to make to the article. If it's not out of line for me to say this, I'd suggest you make a retraction on his talk page. Rlitwin 01:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
