Revision as of 11:37, 13 March 2006
Hello and welcome to my talk page. I'll respond to your comments here, unless you ask me to reply on your talk page. Reyk 23:19, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Vandalism/Blocking Policy
I have a question that you may be able to help me with. If an ip has vandalized in, say, December, up until his/her final warning, then stops vandalizing and posts sparingly until February, where he/she begins vandalizing again, should the ip then go through the four warning levels again, or should they be immediately listed for a block? Kntrabssi 22:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- That's an interesting one. Ordinarily I would suggest that a block would be justified. However, I've been through the edit history of User:67.142.130.22 (I'm assuming this is "your" vandal?) and there have been good edits come from that IP as well as the vandalism. From that I'm guessing there's more than one person using the same computer; one's a good, upstanding Wikipedian and the other is a vandal. It wouldn't be fair to block the good editors along with the bad. I'll leave a suggestion on the IP address's talk page for legitimate users to get an account. Reyk 06:33, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, that's the one. I suppose that would be the best idea. Thanks for your help! Kntrabssi 13:12, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
you think your so smart
hahaha your not
- Yeah, your so not smart, that the former doesn't even need to use the right "you're" in either of his sentences!!! :-p Kntrabssi 04:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising
The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Wikipedia, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Wikipedia in the Wikipedia namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Wikipedia history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Wikipedia altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Wikipedia namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not fussed, really, if the thing stays a WikiProject or if it moves to MetaWiki. But I'll oppose deletion to the death. Reyk 06:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Request for Mediation
You recently filed a Request for Mediation; your case has been not been accepted. You can find more information in the rejected case archive, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Rejected 1.

WP:AFD
Hi there,
This concerns Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Daisey, where you recently voiced an opinion. User:Calton has raised some significant objections, and I would like to ask if you wouldn't mind considering the ensuing discussion and changing or confirming your choice with respect to the article Mike Daisey. Sincerely ENCEPHALON 07:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
AfD
Based on what I've seen from you on AfD, I think that you might have something to add to the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cart00ney. I'd appreciate you weighing in on the matter in either direction. Savidan 19:46, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- No problems. Reyk 06:12, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Aussie Sport Wikiprojects
You may consider joining WP:AFL and WP:CRIC. Thanks DaGizzaChat © 07:29, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- Already joined Cricket, heading over to AFL now. Cheers. Reyk 07:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Stubs
I already put the related geography stub template, thanks. Please correct the articles without this template, if you see any of them --Alperen 14:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I've done a few, but there's zillions of them. I'll get back to it when I have a bit of time. Reyk 14:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 39% for major edits and 59% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and all Talk namespaces.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear inpolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

In case you don't read it on my talk page, I've fixed up some of the general vocab to make reading abit easier/smoother, and added in some new info. Nothing major.
That being said, a good article nonetheless. Glad to see some people appreciating the great men that built our club.
Cheers, Boomtish 07:29, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent work on the rewrite. Reyk 07:30, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
FYI, your redirects West Ascot Vale, Victoria and West Ascot Vale pointed to nowhere. I've changed them to Ascot Vale, Victoria; I'm assuming that's what you intended. Cheers —Quarl (talk) 2006-02-27 05:55Z
RfC FourthAve
I've initiated an RfC for FourthAve due to personal attacks stemming from, Bob Vander Plaats among other atricles. If you agree with the request and think it proper, could you sign for certification? - Jaysus Chris 09:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- Done. Reyk 21:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
A minor disagreement
- My appologies for the next post, I completely misread what you said. It was actually quite funny, and I agree completely. I am a jackass. I would remove what I posted, but I feel it is more appropriate to leave as a monument to my idiocy. Sorry man! Not my leg 22:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- No worries. Reyk 00:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
It is unfortunate that you opted to express your disagreement with me by saying my decision "sucks." I can appreciate that you feel the article should have been should be speedied, and it is fortunately exceptionally easy to remove my prod and add a speedy tag. I, however, did not feel it clearly fit into the speedy criteria (nonsense, empty, nocontext, bio, test, attack, notenglish, from a banned user, copyvio, repost, or vandalism), yet I also felt it would be an uncontroversial delete, so I prodded it. You obviously disagree, and being relatively inexperienced myself, I am more than willing to humbly defer to you, the more seasoned wikipedian. My point, however, is that while I welcome your posting on my talk page and letting me know you have a difference of opinion, I only desire that you would avail yourself of the myriad options which the English language provides for expressing your profound disagreement, rather than use the inelegantly pedestrian "it sucks." Alas, to each his own. Not my leg 21:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
