False Claims

You are the vandal, calling me a vandal because it gets you props for IP-killing. 68.110.9.62 10:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Lawrence High School perma-block?

Well all of the various 24 hour blocks we've put on have had no effect. I've had a talk with the people at the school, but they are technically illiterate expect much from them.

I think it's time we considered a perma-block on the IP in question. Comments? Maury 23:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

ush ush ush.....lets do it!!!

Thanks!

Thank you for your rude auto-revert on the circumcision page. Great work-- keep it up.

Wayward, YOU ROCK!

Thanks for all your work! You deserve major KUDOS in spite of the fact that you are a t-sip! (GIG 'Em Aggies!) =) Keep up the good work, my friend!

My RFA

Thanks for participating in my RfA. It passed with a final tally of 98/13/10, just two short of making WP:100. If you need my help with anything, don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for the clarification

Hi Wayward, Thanks for the clarification about Tawkerbot. I'll re-apply my edits to the Cigarette Smoking Man article. Petrus4 23:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Mariah Carey

Hi. I was told by user:Petaholmes that you are a good copy-editor, and I was wondering if you could take a look at the Mariah Carey article? I'd like it if I wrote perfectly, but I know that I don't, and my eyes tend to glaze over after reading the same thing again and again. I keep going through it, but I'm absolutely certain that I'm not seeing mistakes. If you are too busy or don't want to do it for whatever reason then I won't mind, but I would really appreciate it. Also, please feel free to comment at Wikipedia:Peer review/Mariah Carey/archive2 about the state of the article. Thanks! Extraordinary Machine 22:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

It is no longer protected. Thanks for doing this, I know of a lot of users who will appreciate it. Extraordinary Machine 00:22, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I can't stress this enough. I just looked at the diff, and I really feel stupid now for not noticing some of the most obvious errors. Thanks again, and if you need any help with anything then feel free to drop me a note on my talk page. Extraordinary Machine 14:23, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

George Washington

Greetings,

First, let me thank you for reverting the vandalism done to the George Washington article. With that being said, I have noticed a disturbing tread. I have review the history of the George Washington article and noticed thast the page has been vandalised at least once a day since it was written. Thus, I conclude thta this article is, for some reason, a favorite target of vandals. Most vandals tend to be IP addresses. Is there a way to have the page at least temporarly locked to editing by IP users to reduce if not eliminate future vandalism? God Bless! (Steve 17:01, 15 March 2006 (UTC))

Thank you for responing. I have been watching it as well, but I still getting tha hang of how things work around here. Thanks again for your help (Steve 19:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC))

Revert edit summary script

Hi. You beat me to the punch with that revert to the vandalism on Australia. I noticed you used the edit summary: "Reverted edits by 195.93.21.4 (talk) to last version by Cedar-Guardian". This exact form of words crops up so often, and never with any spelling errors, that I assume you didn't actually type those words, but had it automatically generated using some template. I've asked elsewhere and got no answer to this. What is the template I should use to get that sort of result in the edit summary? Cheers JackofOz 20:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hi, thanks for taking care of my Talk page. I don't know why it was vandalized, but anons who can change addresses like that are pretty much impossible to track. User:Zoe|^(talk) 18:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

how do u change them soo fast? ur like a god . i bow to u.

Hello Wayward!

Hello Wayward, I am sorry to hear that you have removed my contributions to the website. I wanted to enlighten the public on the facts about John Kerry. He is a "giant douche", and the public must be informed about this. Please let me add this to the article, and please do not change it.

Thank You, Kevin Yang

Sorry :) was testing

who are you? Are you gay?

got a warning by mistake, I think

I caught the anon IP attack on the Pink Floyd article and attempted to rv it. You must have doing the same thing at the same time. I was probably a little too hasty and rv'd your clean up by mistake. If you review my edit history you'll notice I'm a clean user. It did shock me a little though to look at my watchlist and see tawkerbot on my user:talk page. It took my a second to try and figure out what went wrong. True vandals seem to come in waves. It must be tricky to nail them all down. Anyways, cheers! Anger22 18:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Trouble User

Hey, I see you have been reverting the tony blair article as well. Can you give the user user:82.12.240.233 a warning so we can block him? Thanks. --OrbitOne 20:02, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Reversion on Hamilton (district)

You reverted my addition of a copyvio notice on Hamilton (district), via, I assume pgk's bot in #vandalism-en-wp. This was incorrect, as the copyvio notice is valid. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks! 134.10.12.226 00:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC) (User:JesseW/not logged in)

Copyedit

Thanks for the copyedit...[1] to Retreat of glaciers since 1850. An article as big as this one is tough to see all the fine tuning it needs sometimes, so an extra set of eyes always helps.--MONGO 09:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

bug

Hi! I think there is a little bug in your monobook.js: in the function addToolBoxLinks the code:

   username_a = document.URL.match(/:.*:(.*)/);
   username=username_a[1];
   addlilink(tb, 'http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/count_edits?dbname=enwiki_p&user=' + username, 'User\'s edit count', );

doesn't work if in the main namespace (that is, if there is no ":" in the URL). --Salvatore Ingala 21:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

your reversions

they are lies.ɵ

Copyedit

I've got an article - Don Dunstan - currently under peer review. You've been suggested as a good non-Australian copyeditor, is there any chance you'd be able to take a look? Thanks. :) michael ^talk 08:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for that! Is there any particular Australian terminology that made the article harder to understand or degrades its readability? michael ^talk 11:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Jesus - sprotect or protect

Re: Jesus I went to edit the article, but there were no edit links. I assumed it had full protection, but no, it was only semi-protected. As a registered and logged on user, why couldn't I see the edit links? Anyway, now you have made it fully protected. Whether that was the other administrator's intention, I don't know. It seemed an over-reaction to me. I have asked him user:slrubenstein(sp?) on his talk page. ^rossnixon 09:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Request

Hi, if you have the time could you please have a go at copyedting Frank Macfarlane Burnet. Thanks. --Peta 03:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Another request

Hi, I have an article about Mount Tambora being peer-reviewd. User:Petaholmes has suggested me to ask you to copyedit the article. Could you please help me that? I see from your talk page, that you have many requests for copyediting and you're one of the best copyeditors in WP. I hope you wouldn't mind to give your skill in the article. Thanks a lot in advance. Cheers. — Indon (reply) — 07:31, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your copyedits of the Toraja article. You are really the best copyeditor in WP.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/History of Solidarity

During the FAC review it has been suggested that the article needs a copyedit (as it was written by a non-native speaker, i.e., me). I'd greatly appreciate your help, and of course, comments at the FAC page.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  03:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

sorry

Sorry, I didn't alter the chuck liddell website. I live in a fraternity and someone using my computer must have doen that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Need response

I have not edited anything since a year ago when I fixed something and was blamed for vandalization on a page I was never on. Please do not blame me for things I have not done unless you prove to me someone on my IP has done it. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:65.94.111.34 is what I an referencing. Also, this is not the IP address I recognize from before, and I just got the alertfor the message today.

OK, you know what? i was angry there, but all i want to know is what was vandalized. sorry for bothering you.

ok, 3rd time. I checked what it was you had a problem with, don't even know who john tory is, and i hope we can figure out what the problem is.

Dec 20: ok, I did what you said, if you find theres a problem again, ban my IP from editing Wikipedia.

Congratulations

Congratulations, you reverted my vandalism test within under 10 seconds. Good work. Sorry for the inconvenience. --Unregistered User —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.61.67.163 (talk) 15:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC).

Albert Fish Letter

For some reason you keep removing a line from the Albert Fish letter on the "Albert Fish" article. This line is directly from the source, from the original letter. I'm not really sure why you'd remove it, as it is part of a quotation. It is cited and takes about 10 seconds to verify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.65.204.82 (talk) 21:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

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.
