Sorry about that -- didn't look into what you were doing before I reverted. My mistake. Sucks that you lost your password. Gscshoyru 22:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you
Thanks for notifying all parties involved in the "article bullying" conflict recently spawned on the AN page. These simple acts assist greatly toward progression in such issues. --Jacob Talk 01:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Farneheit 451.jpg
You left a note on my talk page stating that there was not an appropriate rationale for Image:Farneheit 451.jpg. Since there already was a rationale for this image on the image page, could you let me know what specifically is wrong with the rationale as listed. Thanks. --Rtrace 02:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

- No worries. I just wanted to make sure it didn't get deleted. Thanks for responding.--Rtrace 02:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Lost password????
How could you! Sorry to hear that. It'll take some getting used to calling you a different name. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 12:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Responded To. EoL talk 01:31, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not 100% clear on what the feature would be. Do you want the ability to easily place {{SharedIP|organization}} on an anonymous user's talk page? Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 18:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Responded To. --EoL talk 23:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you
Thanks for the revert to my talk page - I don't mind people abusing me on my talk page (it's only when it's on my userpage that I have a problem with it!), so whilst I appreciate the revert, I've reinstated the comment. Thanks again! Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 22:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

JMU Fight Song
The James Madison University Fight Song article has been speedily deleted under criterion G12, as a blatant copyright infringement. Next time you see something like that, where it's an obvious copyright infringement, skip PROD and nominate it for speedy deletion. The bar is higher and more specific for speedy, but in my opinion, that article fits G12 to a T. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Quick question
Hey Ember! I'm wondering what criteria you're using to determine the wdefcon levels. I'm watching the live IRC feed, and it is really not very "calm", lol. There are constant blankings, several a minute, plus multiple instances of various IP vandalism as well every minute. Generally, the lowest level would be when things are truly quiet, I've seen times when no vandalism has been done for 10, 15 minutes at a stretch. Just wondering, are you updating via IRC commands?

I removed the indefblock template from TTG's page -- he's only blocked as long as his legal threat stands. There's reason to believe he'll recant it (it's regarding discussion at WP:AIR). If it stands for a longer time and it looks like he won't come back in to the fold, as it were, it would probably be appropriate then.

Pee Wee Herman
Hi. I am trying to put together a checkuser request in relation to the "Pee Wee Herman" vandal, with a view to getting the underlying IPs blocked (I have range blocked some IPs used by the vandal(s) with limited success). I am putting together a list of sockpuppets and their edits here. As I see that you have been involved in dealing with this vandalism, I am letting you know and please feel free to contribute to the list. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 23:57, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

REtag
I just went to go do all that retagging and saw you did for those socks. Great detective work. Thanks for retagging. Do you need any cats deleted or anything? — Rlevse • Talk • 17:20, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I created this template because some users (such as this) are blocked as socks without the puppeteer ever being known. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 03:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Apologies for my friend, nice catch
Hey, I stepped out of the room for a second and a friend changed the Uranus article. While he was playing around and knew it would be reverted within seconds he still should not have done it. I am actually currently researching Wikipedia on its reliability through "Wisdom of the Crowds" arguments and my friends are intent on proving me wrong. Thanks for your work to keep up Wikipedia's integrity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.252.254.26 (talk) 00:51, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Open proxy
They closed my SSP case where I was trying to root out the master of EdChampion due to the master being an open proxy. This is over my head. Does that mean it is impoosible that the abusive account is connected to the other three disruptive accounts? -- SECisek (talk) 18:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Responded To. --EoL talk 21:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Do I have another move? This guy is clearly doing something he shouldn't be. -- SECisek (talk) 03:50, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Great idea for Friendly!

What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar | |
| For the idea that I almost missed; tagging of Shared IPs via Friendly. I was reviewing the talk archive today and realized I had forgotten about it, and what a great idea it is. I should be able to implement it soon, now! Kudos, and kee up the good work! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 17:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC) |
- Thought you might like to know that this feature is now implemented! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 19:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

89.242.214.19 IPsock tag
Thanks for that. One day the user may understand what "indefinite"means... Tonywalton Talk 23:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, to be honest. I set the protection and block to 1 year from indefinite per the bit of WP:BAN that says "Users who have been banned indefinitely by the Arbitration Committee may appeal to the Committee after one year.". OK, this is a community rather than an Arbcom ban, but I think allowing an appeal after one year is not unreasonable (having said that I was wrong in setting the block to expire, as opposed to the talkpage protection - I'll reset the block to indef now. ....Done).
- I agree he doesn't seem to understand the concept of "ban", though. I even tried to clarify it at User_talk:Just2saythis — yet another sockpuppet — but it seems to no avail. This person still seems to live in a world where saying "sorry" is enough, and even if you don't, you'll be forgiven anyway, given a couple of weeks "grounding". Ah well. Tonywalton Talk 23:40, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Reverting
Thanks EoL. I didn't realize I could do that; I thought an admin had to. I guess you learn something every day! 66.93.12.46 (talk) 06:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Er, hi! I have a question. How long was PWee's IP's blocked? Because he's back again. —BoL @ 00:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
RE: Speedy deletion of Isopropamide
There seems to be some misunderstanding here. The CorenSearchBot identified this page as being "copyrighted" merely because it had been copied by a wikipedia mirror (this mirror has no copyright on the material it lifted from wikipedia). In other words, the original article (at isopropamide iodide, which I moved to isopropamide, per naming conventions for drug articles) was copied by a wikipedia mirror. When I made the move, the bot identified the material as being from another website (the mirror), even though it was originally from wikipedia. This is an absurd situation. Too many sites copy from wikipedia, and too many editors are copyright paranoid. Please restore the article, and in the future, don't jump to conclusions about copyrights without first looking at the details of the situation. Thank you. Fuzzform (talk) 01:58, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't remove any tags. By the time I got back to the article, it had been deleted by another administrator. I'm assuming that you got your "copyright infringement" tipoff from the CorenBot. In the future, please double check before deleting articles. Information lifted from wikipedia is abound on the internet, and none of it can be claimed to be copyrighted (except copyrighted stuff that was copied to wikipedia in the first place, then copied to a wikipedia mirror). Fuzzform (talk) 02:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I explained the situation to the operator of the CorenBot, which is what was recommended in the tag. I thought that would be sufficient, but I guess not. Fuzzform (talk) 02:08, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
