Are you bored? Please stop ammending our accurate Blackbeard entry on Wikipedia. Chris McCleary is a data pirate and well known as black beard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Datamonkey (talk • contribs) 15:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologies if my message is impatient, I was just exasperated. Ive just discussed with our lecturer who pointed out that there were 2 potential men known as black beard, and the one on wiki is indeed as arguably legitimate as Chris McCleary. I will amend the entry to reflect this, and get to the uni library this afternoon to confirm the citation references. Thanks

Hey: I just corrected a welcome message you left. When you use {{welcome4}} you should write {{welcome4|Llamadog903}} and don't forget the ~~~~ at the end. Thanks for welcoming people, though! Mangojuice 01:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey - no problem. You're still forgetting to sign the welcome message by adding ~~~~ at the end, though. Thanks again! Mangojuice 01:52, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE STOP

Hey -- I just realized you're welcoming dozens of users that don't actually exist. Why are you doing this? Adding nonsense to wikipedia is considered WP:Vandalism. And just in case you think this will help your RFA, it won't: people are too savvy about wikipedia to fall for it. If you want to help, I'd ask you to mark all those fake user talk pages with {{db|CSD G7 and G8}} so that someone can clean up this mess. Mangojuice 02:03, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I was mistaken. Most of the users you welcomed hadn't contributed any articles, but they had been created. I apologize, I should have been more careful. Mangojuice 02:19, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

A Few Questions

When a "controversy" exists on a "discussion page", and a consensus is reached regarding that "controvesy", is it polite, for one person, who did not take part in the controversy to change (or in this instance: remove) a portion that he felt "controversial". Without even going to the "discussion" page first and re-opening the "controversy"? That is: if this happened to you, how would you feel? Mark Preston 17:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

UPA

Userboxes

Okay, here's what you do. Go to the Wikipedia:Userboxes page. Scroll down to the bottom, and Voila! There's a bunch of codes for making userboxes! Copy one you like. Then, start a new article called Template:Name of userbox. Obviously, fill in a name. Then, paste what you've just copied. Its kind of self explanatory from there. If you have more questions, just ask!JaredW! 12:07, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Which ID section are you asking about? The first one, where you insert pictures or very short text, or the long one, where you write the long text? JaredW! 12:00, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience: "No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Note from the editor Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!

The last AC meeting (full log) Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen. Signed... Celestianpower, JoanneB, Titoxd, KnowledgeOfSelf and FireFox 17:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter #2

Barnstar Brigade The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date: "Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Information Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!

The last AC meeting (full log) The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly. A plea from the editor... The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there. Signed... Celestianpower, JoanneB, Titoxd, KnowledgeOfSelf and FireFox 19:53, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed... Celestianpower, JoanneB, Titoxd, Pschemp and Freakofnurture 20:29, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage!

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed...

Fair use rationale for Image:Satanismsymbol.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Satanismsymbol.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Web broker

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Web broker, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Web broker.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. -- Mentifisto 17:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's perfectly acceptable in fact. The aim is to stop the vandal from vandalizing and anyone can do that - then, if they continue, and after a last warning, you can report them to WP:AIV. -- Mentifisto 21:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Image tags

Please see my reply on my talk page. At least one of the images you tagged as not having a license was clearly intended to be uploaded with the {{PD-self}} template, even if the uploader used the wrong template.

Trustnet

Hi, I am new to Wiki, and attempting to upload some information about a fund performance rating system but it keeps getting reported for speedy deletion, because it contains references to the company from which these ratings are issued.

I am contesting this deletion because references to the company in question (Trustnet) are made to support the article I am writing about Crown Ratings - the fund rating which this company uses to rate the performance of mutual funds in various markets.

This is a quantitative rating based on recognised performance ratios, unbiased, independent of any fund provider, and freely available to all, making it relevant to anyone who invests in mutual funds in the markets where these ratings apply, and the rating - as well as the rating provider - are no less worthy of mention than, for example, other ratings agencies featured on Wikipedia such as Standard & Poor's, so I'm a little confused.

Can you help me understand what I need to do to ensure that the ratings appear on Wiki, without compromising the purpose of the encyclopedia?

For info - this is what I am trying to draw attention to - http://www.trustnet.com/general/ratings.asp

Please stop tagging CSD tags until you review what they mean.

Hi, I noticed you tagged two articles with db-nocontext here and here. The first one is supposed to be a db-band as a non-notable band. However the second one is really not "no-context" since it did mention that the person is an actor in an internally linked British show article. Please review WP:CSD before tagging additional articles. Thanks and have a great day! And if you have questions, feel free to ask. - Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ contribs} 13:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Howcome u want the Cibola Caounty Beacon article deleted?----Dominic Edward Aragon (talk) 22:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Carnivorous plants!

Hi there! I see we suffer from the same affliction: an obsession with carnivorous plants. Glad to have you aboard. Just a heads up, as you can probably tell from the project talk page, we're not all that active. Many of the main members are busy in real-life and can't make big contributions. That being said, you've probably seen User:Mgiganteus1 around on the Nepenthes articles and I'm finishing off the final few stubs of Utricularia, though I specialize in Stylidium. User:NoahElhardt, when he's around, spends a lot of time on Pinguicula. Anything you specialize in? Right now, as a project, we lack basic stubs for many species, but we are also in need of a few more featured articles. Let me know if anything grabs your attention that you might like to collaborate on. I'm always up for a change of pace from my stub creation. I've also got access to plenty of resources (primary journals), so if you ever come across something you need and can't get, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Anyway, enough blathering for now. Again, welcome! Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 02:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Plasters

Hello, changed your csd template on this page to a re-direct to Adhesive bandage, which is where Plaster re-directs to, and removed the notification from the editor's talk page - just thought I would let you know! Not sure it would have passed a csd anyway (assuming a page on plasters somehow didn't already exist) as there was sufficient context and the subject is certainly notable, even if the page did not do it justice. Anyway that's beside the point. Have a good day :) Avnjay^Talk 15:35, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

{{CarnivorousPlants-stub}}

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:55, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA was unsuccessful

I am sorry to inform you that I have withdrawn your RfA as it unfortunately no longer had a realistic prospect of being successful. I hope you will not be too disheartened as many of Wikipedia's best admins had unsuccessful early attempts. I hope you will take on board the comments made and will consider running again when you have more experience. WjBscribe 01:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

ACC Tool

Hi, I just need to confirm that you requested access to the ACC tool. I need to confirm your identity before approval for security reasons. Alexfusco⁵ 02:18, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

You have been approved, please read WP:ACC/G for more information on the tool. There is an IRC feed of requests available in #wikipedia-en-accounts on freenode Alexfusco⁵ 02:21, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I can't find the info for this anywhere else. If a username is taken or such and I hit Taken, does it send them an E-mail? If it does not do I send them one from my personal E-mail account?

Yes, it sends them an Email. Alexfusco⁵ 17:36, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Llamadog903 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I was blocked for evasion of a block. I have not been blocked before so I believe this impossible. I am a good faith editor and hope that you, the admin reading this will unblock me. Thanks!

Decline reason:

Per Slakr, this account appears to be a Grawp sockpuppet. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 19:44, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I have suspended your access on the ACC tool. If this block is reversed your access can be restored. Alexfusco⁵ 19:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

It is looking like multiple established accounts were inexplicably blocked by User:Slakr for "block evasion" with no further reason.[1] My inclination is to support an immediate unblock. --Elonka 19:35, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

This account is apparently a Grawp sock per Slakr's message on my talk Alexfusco⁵ 19:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Slakr is not a CheckUser. What proof is being used to justify this accusation? --Elonka 19:59, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea who Grawp even is. The Llama! (talk) 21:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

{{unblock|I Don't agree with this at all and Slakr has no idea.}}

I have posted details about the investigation at User talk:Slakr. If you have any other trouble, please let me know ASAP. And again, profuse apologies for the confusion here. --Elonka 21:33, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I have reversed your suspension on the ACC tool as this was a clear mistake, sorry. Alexfusco⁵ 21:37, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Now, THAT is annoying! It still says I cannot edit for another day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Llamadog903 (talk • contribs) 21:42, July 24, 2008

Is it all cleared now? Or are you still getting autoblock messages? --Elonka 22:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Echoing the sentiments of my fellow admins, above - my apologies for the block. I feel especially bad, given my decline of your unblock request, above. Again, mea culpa! Best to you, UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 22:44, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

BTW, Llamadog903, if/when you go up for admin again, please contact me, and I'll be happy to answer any questions that may come up about the block, to ensure that it doesn't hinder your chances in any way. I am also available for some adminship mentoring... Perhaps not a fulltime "official" mentor, but I can definitely answer any questions that you may have, or review certain situations that you are dealing with. My own area of expertise right now, is analyzing dispute resolutions procedures, especially in cases dealing with articles that are in longterm chronic edit wars. For example, you might be interested in reading this, a page that I helped to write: Wikipedia:New admin school/Dealing with disputes. --Elonka 16:21, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Mark Alvin Jabrica

You tagged Mark Alvin Jabrica for speedy delete as nonsense. I have removed the tag because the article is not nonsense, just not English. You may want to remove the notice from the user's page. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

WHACK!

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Not necessarily

Removing warnings, and the rest of the talk page, prevents the appeals process from working. Eventually, if the block has been upheld or is a ban, then in due course the page will be removed by a bot as the page is no longer needed. –– Lid^(Talk) 12:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Redirects to categories

When creating a redirect to a category, please put a colon at the beginning of the link (before the word Category). For example, please use #redirect [[:Category:Requests for unblock]], not #redirect [[Category:Requests for unblock]]. This way, the redirect doesn't end up being one of the entries in the category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Template:User:bench

Hi Llamadog903. I initially thought this template was created by User:Bench. Is there a need to have Template:User:bench in template namespace? If not, please consider moving it to one of your user subpage and consider changing the name to something that does not imply ownership by another user. Thanks. -- Suntag ☼ 19:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Typo redirect Template:UBX/madscientist

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Template:UBX/madscientist, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Template:UBX/madscientist is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Template:UBX/madscientist, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 19:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Template:User:CSD

Hi Llamadog903. I moved "Template:User:CSD" (which had two namespaces in the title) to "User:UBX/User CSD" (Which has several User:UBX/User templates). -- Suntag ☼ 22:08, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I moved "Template:User:Digestion" to "User:UBX/Digestion". -- Suntag ☼ 22:21, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Smolt (Linux) speed deletion

The reason for my comment here is that you declared my first contribution (stub) Smolt (Linux) as candidate for speedy deletion, and whole process was so fast that when I've found your message there was no deletion marker anymore. Amazing. I'll keep for a while few links about first steps on Wikipedia that you provided. Simon321 (talk) 20:16, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

John Burgess (bagpiper)

You might consider reading articles before nominating them for speedy deletion. If an article says someone was "one of the most eminent players of the Scots bagpipes" and provides a reference to back it up, it's hard to see how you can suggest that it "does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". Just a thought.Quelcrime (talk) 13:30, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism of Exhibitionism

Hey! I'm out doing RC Patrol right now, too, and I wanted to ask you about a reversion that you made. It was one. I see that you marked it as vandalism and left the level 1 vandalism warning on the user's talk page, but I had also looked at that particular edit and was thinking that it was probably a good faith edit -- they were saying that flashing also referred to exposing of a man's genitals, which I feel was a reasonable contribution. I hope you don't find my questioning offensive, I was just wondering why you found that to be vandalism? FaerieInGrey (talk) 04:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Llamadog903. You have new messages at Cssiitcic's talk page.

Bob the ghost

You tagged Bob the ghost under A1, which means that there is no context. However, upon reading the article, it simply describes a run-of-the-mill gym teacher, which is deletable under A7, the correct tag. Happy editing, --Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 00:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

VANDALISM

I was trying to revert vandalism on World Extreme Cagefighting and you reverted my edit back to the vandalised edition. Currently, WEC does not have a Flyweight division, but will have one in the near future, so the current infobox is incorrect and misleading. Thank you very much. 24.91.180.246 (talk) 18:10, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Tell me about it. This guy is a fukn asshol. As soon as you create an article he tries to get it deleted. If you hate Wikipedia that much why not log out and get a life? You'll never get the whole of Wikipedia deleted, Llamapig.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
