Revision as of 00:24, 12 November 2008
Yes, I invoked WP:VANISH, but please feel free to leave a message. Better yet, please e-mail me.
Thanks for swinging by and please keep it civil. I reserve the right to delete any and all unwelcome comments which will remain in the edit history anyway.
Nice to see you again
Glad to have you back! I hope you don't get driven away again. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Cheers, and have a good evening! (or morning, afternoon... I have no idea what time it is for you) J.delanoygabsadds 04:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Tthanks for that revert! (Can't a guy commune with nature in peace? :P )
- Anyways, I saw that sockpuppet report on AIV, and when it was gone, I looked to see who had block him/them, went to Luna's talk page and saw your post. Again, it's nice to have you back! Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 07:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Re: Nuts.
Re your message: I noticed that you had returned. I was about to leave you a note when I got distracted and needed an ice cream break. Try not to let the vandals bug you. They're not worth the aggravation. That's great about fixing the plane. Perfect way to start a weekend with a test flight! -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:42, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- D'oh! Well, just means you get to go out again for another flight. Glad to hear that the repairs look good. You know how they say the weld is stronger than the original metal, I guess the same thing is true with the epoxy. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

You spurred me in to action
I just did what I probably should have done weeks ago and sent the whole of my stalker's sockfarm to checkuser for an IP check. Not sure what will come of it as fear that will require an unfeasibly huge range-block but if I don't ask I'll never know. So, thank you for finally making me realise quite how unacceptable the whole situation is. Cheers, Nancy talk 20:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Protected
Semi-protected your user and user talk. Also blocked the IP for a week for what it's worth (not a lot I fear). Nancy talk 07:41, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Not wanting to tempt fate.....
....but I'm going to, obviously. Since you and J declared your support on my talk page I have not had a visit from my little friends, that's five or six days now and considering they were on there every night for the past month I'd consider that a result. So THANK YOU a million times THANK YOU ....now stand by for an onslaught in the next 24 hours...... Still no movement on my request for an IPCheck but things seem to move at a snails pace over there (and to be honest the checkusers have a heap of far more encyclopaedia-threatening cases to deal with which rightly take precidence over my stalker problem.

DYK for Wild Bill Shrewsberry
Ahhh, someone besides myself is working on a drag racing article! Royalbroil 05:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- Cool! Too bad it ran overnight. I posted it at around midnight Central and it was gone by the next morning. If you do start a new drag racer article, buzz me. I have lots of free-use pictures of major drag racers. One of my flickr friends took lots of great pics from the 1960s to present. Royalbroil 12:38, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Assumnig good faith, biting the newbies, and User talk:Goatsejames
Hello: I saw your comment on Goatsejames's user talk page and I wanted to drop you a line. You wrote on his talk page that "It's obvious by your username you have no intention of contributing in a constructive manner and have been reported as such." While it's quite clear that's an unacceptable username, I still think it's worthwhile to assume good faith and not bite the newbies in dealing with a situation like that. I checked the user's contribution history and they haven't made any edits yet, so it's hard to say whether s/he intends to be a vandal or not. It's always possible that it's a genuine new user with extremely bad taste in usernames. If it's even possible there's good faith and a mistake, rather than nefarious intent, it's always best to be nice, say something like "You may not be aware of this, but wikipedia doesn't allow just any username, and a username refering to goatse violates our policy against obscene usernames. You should feel free to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, but I recommend you register a different account to do it under. Your username has been reported as obscene and will probably be blocked." That way, if it's a vandal, they're still locked out of the account, but if it's a kid with a bad sense of humor, but that would make good edits, he'll come back with an acceptable name, rather than walk away thinking that "those wikipedians are just a bunch of dicks." The bottom line is that it costs nothing to both report the username and also assume goof faith, so why not do so? ⇔ ∫ÆS dt @ 00:52, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Sarah Geronimo
OK, so I've read about your comments about the article being a target by fans. Hmm, I guess they were driven by their ill obsession with Sarah (or with other artists) to sprinkle the article with POV and write it in an inappropriate and unnecessary tone. It's like those fanboys who routinely mess up the High School Musical article or Avril Lavigne, thinking that they can add anything and everything to it. I think these Sarah fanboys may should seek help for their obsession. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:03, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Re:On the money, bro.
I would like to have these fanboys slapped for good... Blake Gripling (talk) 01:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- I admit, I am a Strawberry Shortcake fanboy, but I edit in a responsible manner and note that any fannish edits to the articles that I edit will be reverted. But these Sarah fanboys need to seek some help regarding their obsession. Blake Gripling (talk) 02:11, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding MascotGuy, yep, seen 'em. I'm an Eloise fan, and it seems as though this guy's been into messing things up in there. It is assumed that he has autism, and his mother limits his online time. There are two things that I think that can keep him from bothering us: have his mum block access to Wikipedia, or something like that. I feel sorry for the guy, but I guess he needs to cool down and stuff. Blake Gripling (talk) 02:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Catching that one vandal
Good work! But try to do it with as little ceremony as possible. Post on AIV with a terse note, tag his userpage, redirect his talk page to his userpage, and forget about it. WP:DFTT really does work. BTW, you really weren't kidding that he is stupid. Unfortunately, his ISP is too big for a rangeblock :( J.delanoygabsadds 06:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Re: Lyle123
Re your message: It certainly looks like him. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:06, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- Re your message: We wouldn't want that now! Plastic is not good for you. Unless you want to buy an iPhone? Anyways, nothing to worry about now. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- Adding here with my best wishes (after you reversion of the comment on my talk page).
- Hi PMDrive - my suggestion is in cases such as this (so that we are all following the AIV reporting rules) is that you either leave myself a note (or someone else) that you have another sock and I will monitor it out of the AIV spectrum to block immediately upon the first vandal edit. The fact is (whilst I am not at all naive) an editor who is legitimate might create a name that fits within Lyle's MO but isn't Lyle and s/he would be blocked illegitimately. The problem with your current reports (and I have noted your great work at AIV and believe I have blocked on your request before) is that you are giving us so very little information and technically are asking us to break the rules. That said, (as my administrator history will show) I will jump to the cause every time there is a vandal that needs to be blocked.--VS talk 08:13, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Re your messages: I had gotten the one from today already. I picked up the one from yesterday. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:18, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Fun
Thanks, hehe. Yes... It can be very frustrating that kids do this kind of thing.. and you know what, I'm going to give you a secret:
I am a reformed vandal. A very, very, very, very long time ago, when this account was created, I went to high-school. My attempt at vandalism was uploading a modified picture: Basically, a, One cannot simply rock into Mordor meme. I uploaded the image, but then I couldn't figure out how to put it on the page, as I was not use to the code. Since I could not understand the markup, I quickly gave up.
A about a year later, I returned, and started constructively editing. I don't like to admit this, because it was ... well, I just don't like to .. I feel the need to prove myself, and that proof exists that I was an attempted vandal at some point is like a strike on my record as a constructive editor. After the Vanboto incident, I improved, at least in terms of civility. I don't think I'll ever be able to write an article, I don't feel up to the task. I'll just stay with reverting vandalism for now.— Dædαlus Contribs /Improve 06:33, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi
Just a friendly pointer: This edit was not vandalism to be reverted, any editor is allowed to remove PROD tags. Nonetheless, the album should of course be deleted, speedily even per WP:CSD#A9 (WP:Articles for deletion/The Faceless).

problem with ANI thread you started
You need to leave the IP or username of the problematic accounts, so admins can look at the problems. The way it is right now, no admin will help you unless you leave more specific details. --Enric Naval (talk) 00:09, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
MG
FYI. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:42, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Re your message: It wasn't a public IP. It was another DSL IP. I don't think anybody is copying MG. I suspect that it is the same person and he just unfortunately has a neurological disorder. There is not much one can do except to WP:RBI and request another CU should new accounts show up. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
(undent) MG reminds me of Bambifan101 (yet again being discussed on AN [1] as you might have noticed) in the way both may have some neurological disorder, both target very specific articles and neither seem to be able to recognise the general damage they cause. That alone isn't unique, these issues have occurred before and most times IPs get locked down and RBI can be fully enforced but both BF101 and MG are different in that you cannot enforce it because they jump around so much and their IP pool(s) is/are so large that it's simply not possible to end it without creating an issue for other people. BF101 is a lot more prevalent because he targets a larger set of articles and also edits on Simple English wiki amongst others but as mentioned in that thread, neither are any more different than anyone else listed on WP:LTA. The thing is though that both happen to be fairly similar enough and rangeblocks have been put up for 3 different /19 ranges which BF101 have used and I can't see how the same thing can't happen in this case because they both have the same MO and both need to be stopped. treelo radda 12:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
