Images

I have a webserver. All that should be there are media files for upload to WikipediA or some other Wikimedia site. Almost all are either work done on other free (Usually PD, sometimes GFDL) media, or are entirely new work that I hold the entire copyright to and release it. Sometimes I will have fair use images. Currently there should be:

If you do upload one of this for me, please let me know somehow. Thanx for listening (We now return to the scheduled talk page below (the ToC))! 68.39.174.238 21:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings from the United Federation of Planets

I noticed you have been reverting vandalism efficently and impressively. Judging from the text below I can tell that your IP was also used to vandalise wikipedia. Hence it is imperative for us, co vandal fighters to identify eachother, perhaps the best way to do so is to get an account. Wikipedia:Why create an account? exlpains more reasons. Regardless, I recomend the usage of tools that will assist you in your efforts in reverting vandalism. irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-en-vandalism is one of the tools another one is WP:CDVF.

Additionaly I feel you would make a fine member of the Wikipedia:Counter Vandalism Unit.

Please keep up the great work. --Cool Cat Talk 01:26, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know all the "Vandalism warnings" were accedents on their or my part. For the duration of this page's existence it's been mine. 68.39.174.238 01:29, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Old stuff

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - RoyBoy 800 07:30, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

By vandalize, are you referring to Pinochet? I'm trying to work out the changes to that articel with Kissinger on that talk page. 68.39.174.238 07:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, confused you with another anon (67.53.35.185). - RoyBoy 800 07:35, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I've been reverting some of his quackery on HIV and carpal tunnel syndrome, if that who I think it is... 68.39.174.238 07:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You mind reading the Pinochet page before keep changing it??, i made a better version of what the coup was about. Check the last version before yelling "vandalism"

You're really shocked that NYC has a flag?--Pharos 03:11, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, I was attempting to revert that vandalism, hence the edit summary RVC, however someone else got there 1st and something happened... 68.39.174.238 01:36, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the mistake. I still couldn't figure out your edits to Template:Vandal though. -- Curps 00:21, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Check out how the Communism vandal's links look, specifically the page moves and block log links for usernames that have spaces in them. They don't work at all, and I was attempting to remedy that. Thanx 68.39.174.238 00:24, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that's an old problem. Just use underscores instead of spaces. It ought to work with spaces too, but templates are a bit primitive. -- Curps 00:26, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Romanian grammar

Dear 68.39.174.238, the article on Romanian grammar is just now being edited, as was indicated by the {{editing}} label. Please have the courtesy to wait until I finish writing it, and afterwards feel free to check it out and modify it if you believe there is anything wrong. The section on the nouns that you reinserted is available as a separate article, Romanian nouns, on which I am now working. I am going to make a short version of this article and place it as a section in the main article, Romanian grammar, where it belongs. For any questions, write to me. --AdiJapan 06:56, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, you did that when Mr. Treason, or someone acting like him, was screwing around with many pages, and since pages dealing with minorites like to get vandalized alot, I suspected one of his cohorts or someone else was doing it. 68.39.174.238 07:04, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WARN

For the record, that was done to test whether or not the bot in Cool Carts vandal channel was working. I deliberately picked an out of the way page so not too many people would see it. 68.39.174.238 21:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

account and reverting

Why before you revert argument "blanking" (copyrighted?) you get an account first? It's more easy talk about and we get a consensus. --Mateusc 01:46, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't understand that. Which reversion are you talking about? I've done several. The only copyright violation I've flagged today was 4X computer games, which I think was a legitimate flag. 68.39.174.238 01:50, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm...

That's a first for me...I've never seen an IP add a WoW tag before! I hope you're one of the good IPs around here :-) --HappyCamper 03:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I regularly do that. Blocking them is part of it, but tagging them is also of importance. I can't do one so I do the other. 68.39.174.238 03:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ah I see. Well, your work is quite appreciated here. Why don't you get an account? :-) --HappyCamper 16:46, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting guide

I merged all the warnings and registration requests together as per this formatting guide. Judging from the comments on the discussion page, you seem to make a number of good edits; feel free to revert the page to the previous version if you disagree with the changes. // Pathoschild 21:03, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted as some things were combined that didn't belong together, Eſq., &c., &c.... 68.39.174.238 21:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Warnings

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.
This was carried over from the revert

Good job!

Hi! I've noticed you were doing some good work here reverting vandalism. Why not spend 30 seconds and register under a username? You don't have to provide any personal information, and you'll receive recognition for your good work here. If you're unsure, check out Wikipedia:Why create an account?. In either case, keep up the good work! Owen× ☎ 04:40, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Although I have a feeling that the wrong person will get this? Maybe? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:09, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

anon editing

Hey, thanks for all of the reverts you do. Although some would say get an account, as above, I don't have a problem with anonymous users, nor does Jimbo in my experience. One request though, would you mind creating a userpage, one that says something like "this user prefers to edit anonymously" so that it doesn't show up as a redlink in RC. If not, thats cool too. Thanks. «»Who?¿?meta 21:55, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

HeHe. The 2 times I've had a userpage, one was by Treason and got deleted before I even saw it and the other was someone going == Heading == ===Sub-Heading=== ====Sub-sub-heading==== 68.39.174.238 21:57, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
hehe. That's pretty sad :) I'm sure if you created it, it wouldn't get deleted, since I'm assuming this is a static IP, there are several other users who have well known static IPs with userpages. Oh well, worth a shot. cheers. «»Who?¿?meta 21:59, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As in making a sub-page like /archive to cleanup this page, or just deleting it, granted that's not archiving, but a record is still there. Just makes it easier for you and everyone to read the latest comments. You could always put the same note up top about not wanting to create an account, so you don't get bombarded with the same messages again. «»Who?¿?meta 22:14, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I see that you reverted a lot of vandalism and I also see that some wikipedians want you to make a username. Anyway point being I think you should, (who knows me suggesting it might convince you to make one) there are plenty of benefits to making an account. I agree with Who though, if you want to remain anonymous thats just fine. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 22:11, 12 November 2005 (UTC) [reply]

About David Miller

Thank you for asking. I'm having a bit of trouble with my editing. I'm trying to correct a situation where whenever I look up for David Miller, the singer, I end up with David Miller the politician. Could you please make it so that whenever someone types David Miller, the first page shown is the singer, who is an international opera and pop star, and not a local politician in Canada?

Oh, hello, I just saw everything is fine now. Thanks for putiing that "...." thing for deletion.

Right now I'm redirecting some links of that politician that are leading towards the singer, so that there's no confussion.

I just received your message, thanks for the advice. I think it's much better if the David Miller page led directly to a disambiguation page.

Okay, I got it, I'll try what you suggest right now.Rosameliamartinez 05:39, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Here's the situation. Now there's a page called David Miller and another one called David Miller (singer) with the same content, so wikipedia won't let me move the page called David Miller. What can I do so that David Miller doesn't refer to the singer or anyone else but goes directly to a disambiguation page?ByeRosameliamartinez 05:47, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

ayayayay...I thought I'd understood. But look what I've done now...What a mess!!!!Rosameliamartinez 06:09, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

At last, everything is all right, THANK YOU SO MUCH!Rosameliamartinez 06:29, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll be careful to write relevant comments when editing. I'm amazed that you've put up with me today for so long (Computers are so not my thing...but if you ever want to know about Il Divo...JUST KIDDING lolololol). Why do you want to delete your own page? I think you should tell a bit more about yourself; at least your name. BTW Hola, mi nombre es Rosa :) See you around!

In [2] I think you meant arrant nonsense. Just a typo, probably, but just so you know, as they say. By the way, has anyone ever suggested that you get an account? --Trovatore

Hola

I just dropped by for a cup of coffee and to say hello. Sorry I hadn't talked to you earlier this week, I was a bit spent with the "vandalism" trouble I got myself into.

I couldn't help noticing a few of the posts above, you got into "vandalism" trouble yourself as a newbie too? lol

I've just read Wikipedia's concept of "vandalism" and I'm horrified on just how many wikipedians don't fully understand this concept correctly, labeling changes to articles they have written or newbie experimenting as vandalism regardless on the changes been made in good or ill faith.

Finally, I have a few question. First, why are so many people interested in you getting an account? Second, what's an account? Third, do I have an account? Fourth, what can I do to win one of those pretty stars or a heart I've seen in other people's pages (like yours) or what do I have to do to give any to anyone? Finally, if I ever guess your name correctly will you let me know? :)

Adiós, Rosa Rosameliamartinez 19:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hola de nuevo, surprisingly (for me at least) it seems question number three has already been answered by someone I've never spoken to in my talk...I guess I tend to forget "my talk" is public...Rosameliamartinez 21:00, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For showing exceptional skill in hammering facts into my dense newbie head and being super nice and patient with me without having to I award you the Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar

I promise I won't get carried away with the barnstars lol good night, see you around real soon!Rosameliamartinez 07:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hola, why does this person "Coolseethie stoopidank" do that to his head shot? Apart from that, there's a a little strange connection I'm beginning to notice...am I on the right track?Rosameliamartinez 06:52, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hola ;D, I'm just happily passing by, see you later. Seen any interesting odd article lately? I just blanked and rewrote an article on a colombian music festival this morning, but that's nothing new to me. I wish I could find something really weird...Rosameliamartinez 02:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

hahahaha certainly not the "Alabama State Constitution" or the "Pennsylvania State Board of Censors"!!!!! You hit the right spot with the Unusual articles, gracias!Rosameliamartinez 02:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my, I've just remembered I know a great historical unusual article. Believe it or not, one of the poorest cities in Colombia declared war to Denmark ( Colombia didn't, just that city) in the 19th century (I don't know exactly the date) cause the daughter of the mayor or governor was supposed to marry a dane and the guy practically left her at the altar lol Now where do I get the complete info? I wish I'd paid more attention during that class...Rosameliamartinez 02:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hola ;D I can't remember exactly the name of the city, but I'm sure it's not a Spanish city like that other guy said since it was in "History of Colombia" class and I distinctly remember it was somewhere in the state of Boyacá (or was it the state of Boyacá the one that declared the war on Denmark?). Anyways, I haved googled too on this matter and haven't found anything, which isn't strange at all since there's not that much about Colombia on the internet. I'll try checking out some of my old history books. BTW I've been browsing the uncyclopedia, have you ever written anything there?Rosameliamartinez 18:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am one more person to bug you.

Thank you for your reversion of vandal edits. However, can you please, please, please, with sugar on top, make a cute, little, tiny, sweet, tasty account? You can choose a silly name if anonynimiy is what you care for (Suggestion: User:Honey cookie) but you are going to make so much easier the job of poeple watching for vandals.

I assume you've seen Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Anon page creation restriction. Judging by your contributions (mostly vandalism reverting), I suspect this won't bother you much.

I don't pretend to understand what pressures Jimbo's under, but this seems to me like a direct violation of one of the founding principles of wikipedia.

    When I say "recognized", I allude to the fact that a username entry would be easier for a human patroller to recognize as a contribution from a trustworthy editor, rather than incurring simultaneous scrutiny by six or seven patrollers. Also, while it would be debatable to say "most IP users are vandals" (because I suspect a large portion of the IP-user vandalism is caused by relatively few actual people), it not debatable to say "most vandalism does come from IP users." Thus, you should, really, take no offense to this. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 07:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My userpage

Thanks for the link on my user page. I agree that the state constitution is outdated and entirely too long, but I've reverted your edit. The state government is doomed, and there's nothing I can do about it. Last I heard, next year's gubernatorial candidates were Lucy Baxley, Don Siegelman, Bob Riley, and Roy Moore. Talk about the least of four evils! Anyway, are you from Alabama or do you just keep track of state politics? --TantalumTelluride 20:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Seigelman hasn't been convicted yet. Maybe I'll vote for him. As for Lucy, I'm just going to say that I've been forced to listen to her a few times and that I vehemently disagree with her platform. --TantalumTelluride 22:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Calm down. Nlu took you for a vandal because of that crazy edit summary. Anyway, Jimbo was born and raised in the Heart of Dixie. He graduated from Auburn University and attended the University of Alabama before moving to Indiana. I'm not sure where he lives now; his article isn't clear. I suppose he might live in St. Petersburg, since that's where the Wikimedia Foundation's primary servers are located. --TantalumTelluride 02:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed the problem at Seal of Alabama. The existing article was a copy-vio, and it wasn't even accurate. It was about the Alabama Coat of Arms! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll work on the articles a little more when I get more time. Meanwhile, I thought I'd let you know that Alabama may not be as "depraved" as you think. At least we're not Mississippi! ;-) But seriously, Alabama is a lot more prosperous than Hollywood would have you think, even with its 2-million-word Constitution that grants Mobile County the authority to charge a mosquito tax. --TantalumTelluride 05:15, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The archives

I'm not sure where else to reply to this IP's question. I just hope that whoever asked it gets this. Under "see also" there is a link to the institution housing Cruz's papers. They have a biography and a guide to the collection on-line. They have a procedure whereby researchers can obtain digital versions of images in their archives, provided that the intended use of said image is not for profit and falls under the "fair use" clause of copyright law. In some cases, the University holds the copyrights in some cases, the rights remain with the original artist, and in some cases the rights are unknown.--Rockero420 02:19, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good Charlotte article

This is regarding the page Good Charlotte. I had edited a portion of the biography that said "Today, through non-stop touring and wide publicity, Good Charlotte has built a huge fanbase amoung kids, tweens, teens, and college students from all four corners of the globe." because listing "kids, tweens, teens, and college students," if very long winded, and it can be abridged by just stating "young people." Also, "from all corners of the globe" is a cliche phrase, and so I changed it. My edits were NOT vandalism, so DO NOT mark them as so. Thanks. Spuddy 17 21:07, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and write articles, however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 68.39.174.238). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia.

Please note these points:

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on my Talk page – I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia.

Greetings

Yes, I have been following this guy since June of this year; I can demonstrate that but it will take a bit of research. He has hundreds of sockpuppets, and you have to track all their interlocking contributions; the pattern becomes clear when you see that they have identical IP ranges, identical interests, identical editing styles, and identical behavior. Even two kids in the same family, using the same computer, would show more differences than they do.

Regarding the user page: my personal philosophy is that unprotected userpages, especially those with "vandal counters", are troll magnets. No one else should have any reason to edit my user page; if they see something they want changed, they could ask me, and I'd probably change it. I like having a protected user page. Thanks for your help regarding that pest from NC. Best, Antandrus (talk) 03:46, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you register?

I'm just wondering, out of plain interest, why you don't register. Just look at the registration page... it's so simple, you don't even have to enter your email! You get to watch pages for changes, mark edits as minor (since you revert so much vandalism, it would be helpful to us all if you registered). If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to convince you to register! Please answer if you care... Nippoo 22:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for replying so quickly. I'm sure you 'have your reasons'... but it would really be beneficial for the community for you to be able to mark, say, reverts as "minor edits" (which can be filtered out on edit pages) and, of course, if you are an admin (just go on, even if you don't use the account, I bet everyone will vote in support), you can revert vandalism at the click of a button, without even having to put a reason in (it automatically fills out "Reverted edits by x to previous version by y), even if you don't need to watch pages! I'm sure you have "reasons", but please, go on, register... you can of course register with a user account of User:68.39.174.238 if that's what pleases you. I daresay I might be harassing you (if so I'll stop) but please, please, go ahead and state your reasons so I can sleep properly at night ;) or just register! Nippoo 22:18, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK then, but why can't you just register using a so-called 'normal' (not your IP address) username and edit like other people? Like that, you can mark edits as 'minor' (helpful to the community, so we can filter out reverts from the edit page), among other reasons? Just wondering what objection you have to registering... it's really been bugging me for some time! Nippoo 22:33, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for replying. I'll stop bugging you about this now, but I have registered the username RVC for you. It's a nice, short, easily remembered name which can be attributed to you, and so if you want it please email me and I'll give you the password so that you can change it and use the account - I believe you can get all your anonymous edits attributed to that account once registered. I don't see why not, but if you are interested simply email me, stick a notice on my talk page, whatever... (I have registered it without an email so you don't even have to reveal that). If you really aren't interested, say so on my talk page. I'll then get one of Wikipedia's nice admins to deregister it (oh, no, wait, actually it's such a nice name I might even drop this one and use it myself... anyhow). Again, I'll stop bothering you on the issue (that won't stop it bothering me though :P), and we can just forget the whole thing. But please, please, consider getting an account, if only just considering it. Nippoo 20:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I thought all was lost until I realized, one day, that if I could knock up an HTML/PHP form to email me with the password, you wouldn't need an email address. If you could go to [this site] and put a password in (it will be displayed in plaintext and I will receive it in this form, so it makes sense not to use a password you use for other things (but one which you will remember). I will then, on receiving the email, change the password to that and drop a message on your talk page when I'm done. You can then post a message announcing you have, finally, registered and log in using the new account! (then change the password for it). All cool? :D Nippoo 17:26, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So you don't want the account, then? Nippoo 19:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ach, you are so mysterious... *sigh*. Why don't you want to be able to block WoWs and vandals? I give up. :SNippoo 19:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is a little unreasonable to suggest that you wouldn't get admin *pretty quickly* though. :) 19:48, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Most people do think so, and it's always worth trying anyway - I'll bet you pretty much anything that you'll get admin pretty quickly if/when you do register. I personally don't see why not. Most people on this page do think so, and I for one will give you extreme (nominator?) support. :) Nippoo 19:58, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's just one person, as far as I can tell...and I'm not even sure whether or not he was serious. I'm still sure that you would be nominated for admin within 24 hours if you were to sign up, I have had several people say that.SoothingR 21:10, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gah... if you don't want the account, at least please tell me already... before my colon key dies on me from too many replies... :S Nippoo 12:09, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alright then, but I have even less use for it. The whole reason that I registered it was for you to use it... if you send me a password, you can then change it again and I won't be able to get into the account at all... since I haven't put an email in I won't be able to use the "forgot my password" link. I don't really know what to do with the account now... can't you please at least accept it even if you don't use it? Nippoo 12:24, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Fine... but you typing a few letters into [a box] might solve even more problems! Or at least tell me why you don't want to... Nippoo 12:33, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is it you who sent me something through that form? Just because I have forgotten in my haste to knock up that script to check the IP who sent it... :S Nippoo 20:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You're the only one to have supposedly 'touched' it for about a month. Does your password begin with "I"? If so, I'll change it to the one you sent - just drop a note on my talk page. Nippoo 20:27, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's done; play around with it for a few hours then I'll nominate you for admin if you accept it. :D Nippoo 20:50, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for accepting the account and sticking the note on the talk page; you do realize that I have changed the password so you can log in and put the note on the user page if you want? It would please me so much if you'd just log in and make one edit. :D Nippoo 13:08, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Egh... fine - but at least I'm logged in now! What do you have so much against logging in? Nippoo 18:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, so you can put it on the user page rather than the talk page, and secondly, so that I can see you at least make one edit from an account - if you decide against making further edits then that's fine but I don't see why you should decide against it! Nippoo 20:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admin status

I know you are pretty adamant about remaining an IP, but if you were to become a user you would have no problem whatsoever becoming an admin straight away. Does administrator status not appeal to you? (Please drop a reply on my talk page as well, cos I'll never get it otherwise) haz (user talk) 19:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I utterly disagree with that - we have to draw lines somewhere on becoming an admin, and a new account - even one that had made exemplary edits as an IP for years - would still have to show their mettle under the name of the new account. Otherwise, any new account could claim to have edited as a particular stellar IP. BDAbramson T 21:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not true. If the IP edits the talkpage of the newly created account, and the newly created account edits the talkpage of the IP in which the user has both the IP and the account state the same message should be enough proof.SoothingR 20:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ok, I'll believe you (I did actually check the block log before writing the above, however as you said it was only 7 seconds difference on Gamaliel's talk page, there was probably just a delay somewhere that meant it didn't show). Still think that in future you should probably leave the admin who carried out the block to leave the message, as this makes it clear to everyone who actually carried out the block. Anyway keep up the good work, I won't pester you to register a username as you're making your point about not all IP's being vandals quite well :) --Petros471 20:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Username

I have now reverted back to your edit. Yesterday was a worse-than-usual day for vandalism and garbage edits for the articles on my watchlist, with bad edits coming from both anon IPs and registered users. It looks like I made one too many reverts, and I apologize. BlankVerse 01:00, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday was actually worse for registered users, so I'm not sure why I fired away at your IP edit. One regular problem editor (possibly with Asperger's) who had been doing usually good edits for awhile started doing weird edits again (in this case adding events in the future as if they were true). And a new editor did one of my pet peeves, which was editing an article that they knew absolutely nothing about and assuming that they could edit the article without verifying that the changes that they were making were correct.

I blocked him as you requested on AIAV; what should we do about his contributions? As far as I know, a lot of those edits might be valid.

Unfortunately I didn't upload that image. It was already on the Safety Last page. I moved a copy to Cinema of the United States because that article needed a silent era image.

opinion?

Hi - Can I ask your opinion of an idea I sketched to help limit the amount of crap that shows up in Wikipedia? As an anon, if this idea were implemented it would have a direct affect on your anti-vandalism work (which is tremendously helpful). It's been archived at this point, at Wikipedia talk:Stable versions/archive2#forking considered harmful. I'm thinking about copying this to a user page of my own, tweaking the wording a bit ("vetter" is the wrong word, should perhaps be "editor"), and pushing this idea in other forums. I'm interested in how this sounds to you - if you have a chance can you read it and let me know? Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 03:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Main problem, possibly discussed: Is that newbie editors who try and edit a "stable" version to fix a minor error and get the open version with: A: MAJOR changes, which totally disorients them, or B: the error fixed, which also disorients them, or makes them wonder if their cache is dicking around. Frankly this whole "stable articels" buissiness seems like more trouble then its worth unless someone comes up with a really simple way to do it that wont: A, confuse the newbies, or; B, dramatically increase workload, disk/memory/proc/bandwidth, or software or process complexity. 68.39.174.238 00:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the reply. I really don't like most of the "stable version" proposals (IMO forks are inherently bad). On the other hand, I think the current situation is that Wikipedia invites vandalism, and dealing with it takes a ridiculous amount of time (from folks such as yourself). Stable version forks basically say "do what you will, we'll fix it after the fact". I'd prefer something that reduces or eliminates the influx of crap. I think some mechanism that makes it so only changes made by "reasonable" people are generally visible would really help (what fun is there in making the George W. Bush article say "Bush is a dick" if noone can see it?). I agree the disorientation issue is a problem. Do you think it might work if the "edit" button on the "public" version first shows the "most recent" version (with an "edit" button) rather than going directly to the edit page? So, if you're not a designated "editor" (or whatever it's called), you have to first view the most recent version and then get to edit it? I'm looking for a solution that doesn't eliminate edits from anyone anywhere, but makes it so that if you contribute an edit you're more likely to be contributing (rather than vandalizing) without making it ridiculuously difficult. As an anon contributor (as opposed to a vandalizer), I'm very interested in your opinion about this. Again, please let me know what you think about this idea. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 03:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Attention

A Communique from the United MilkMan Front For too long the conservative constructionist faction within Wikipedia has manipulated the dissemination of free information to include its own extreme right-wing message. In a manner typical of its agenda itself, this message seeks to mislead otherwise impressionable readers into believing that the greed of the American right may be justified in any manner of morality, ethics, productivity, or religion. It is time that the United MilkMan Front will change that message.

Notice is given to the Wikipedian Cabal that any tolerance of such bias is unacceptable and requires immediate remedy. Notice is given that progressive Wikipedians shall file an RFC within seventy-two hours of the posting of this message seeking to eliminate the systemic right-wing interference in the general knowledge of humanity or be subject to the UMF's editing. In the interest of allowing for one last chance at self-regulation, Wikipedian editors are hereby given a chance to make these vital corrections in the name of social justice and resistance to capitalist greed. Beyond the seventy-two hour deadline for the filing of the RFC, there shall also be a deadline of seven days from the opening of the RFC to begin the systematic elimination of the capitalist influence.

We have at present two hundred thirty eight (238) unique IP addresses from a variety of locations from which we can make the necessary edits. Failure to meet our demands within our deadlines will be viewed as noncompliance. We do not wish to do this, as we prefer to allow the potential which is Wikipedia to self-correct. We warned, however, we have the means and the will to engage in edit conflict and bloc voting against which you have no defense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lactose_Oracle (talk • contribs)

If you actually LOOKED at my talk page, you would have understood the reason why I deleted a 3RR warning from said page.

Regardless, I spoke with an admin and the warning was archived.

Considering it's MY talk page, I believe I have the right to delete what I like. Thanks though. I won't be watching this page for replies.

Welcome! Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and write articles, however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 68.39.174.238). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can type {{helpme}} on this page and an experienced Wikipedian will be around to answer any questions you may have.

Please note these points:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view to edit the article; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do that.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted texts, advertisement messages, and texts that are not related to that article. Both adding such unreasonable information and editing articles maliciously are considered vandalism. A user who repeatedly vandalises articles will be blocked from editing.

Re:Drastically late reply to "blocking messages"

Yeh, while I do occasionally add warn messages when other people have reverted (normally when I attempted to revert but got beaten to it by an admin equipped by rollback); I agree that we should probably let whoever did the action (especially blocks, but also reverts etc) place the warning message- makes it clear to who any comments should be directed to (as in the case of the message right below yours on my talk page). And like you say saves wasting double effort. Cheers, Petros471 09:02, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please remain anonymous

Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! You don't have to remain anonymous to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but not logging in and making large numbers of exceptionally useful edits and reversions will give you:

  • The use of an IP address you are stuck with, until your modem disconnects for too long.
  • The lack of a distracting watchlist which may prevent you from monitoring recent edits.
  • The privilege of asking others to start new pages for you.
  • The ability to watch others rename pages.
  • The ability to wait for semi-protected pages to become unprotected so you can edit them again.
  • The ability to compose well researched text, which is underrated compared to uploading images.
  • The ability to customize the appearance and behavior of your anonymous user page.
  • The eligibility to inspire the awe and thanks of Wikipedia administrators, for which attainship is yet but a pipe dream (or not).
  • Your IP address will remain visible to all users, and will act as a user name in many people's eyes..

We hope you enjoy your time here on Wikipedia and that you choose to avoid becomming a Wikipedian by remaining anonymous, but the choice for you to create an account is always there, and we won't hold it against you. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on my talk page. By the way, you should sign your name to your posts and comments with ~~~~. -- Ch'marr 06:11, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the Communism vandal hasn't really quit after all...Alvam (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) made two WiC edits on March 8, and got blocked by Curps. Of course, please post your reaction to this (if any) on the WiC talk page. --TML1988 05:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correcting the capitalization error on Government of Chad. KI 17:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

¡Hola!

For helping me understand Wikipedia which ultimately redounded to the benefit of Il Divo related articles I present to you the IL DIVO Barnstar Award.Rosameliamartinez 10:33, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Long time no see...I haven't been to wikipedia regularly for three months(!) until this weekend cause the Il Divo page crashed :( just dropping by to say hello and give you this (since I figured out just today how to create personal barnstars and so that you know that I haven't forgotten about you) ;D I hope you like it even though you aren't a fan. Adiós...Rosameliamartinez 12:16, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, I'm glad you haven't forgotten me :) I can't believe it has been so long already (time flies!)...have you created anything interesting at Wikipedia lately? Rosameliamartinez 13:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"the blasted AWB/redirect nonsense" LOL I see you've been busy...Rosameliamartinez 14:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not so sure I understood what you said on your last message to me LOL (technical plus) but don't worry I got the general idea...it must have been so boring to fix all that! I'm glad you're helping other newbies (I'm not so sure for how long can I still be considered a newbie though lol)Rosameliamartinez 14:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Treason

Mr. Treason apologized on the discussion in WikipediA's article about WikipediA, #25. These are possibly his words exactly "People of Wikipedia... I am Mr. Treason, I am sorry, and I will no longer vandalize your pages. Sorry." Pseudoanonymous 16:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because...

I likely wouldn't have bothered, but there was some vandalism to deal with anyway, and I thought I'd change it back while I was at it. I'm afraid I have a bit of a thing about edits that don't really change anything in an article, and let's face it, replacing lawcourt with court of law was hardly imperative.

National Anthem of Colombia

Hola, I've just translated Colombia's National Anthem but verses III to XI just won't stay in their proper place (they appear in the far right side).

Syldavia

Hi there Sorry about reverting your edit. I didn't really think it was vandalism, so I didn't put a warning or anything, but thought that something had gone wrong because of what the edit summary said. Just trying to be helpful! Will be more careful in future. Apologies again, -- ConDemTalk 13:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

about vandals

Hola, I figure this is a common question but, asides from treating vandals nicely and reverting vandalism...is there any coercitive way from stopping a user from vandalizing? I mean, see all of user's 217.127.192.219 "contributions". Rosameliamartinez 16:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Template:Infobox Baduser

You too? ;) I thought my changes didn't look that great either, but it looks a little better than the previous solution (which was really inelegant). I have another version that condenses the shortcut box into one line and places it right below the vandal's name — would you like that better? æle ✆ 19:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the infobox on my test page; see this page. Does that look better to you? æle ✆ 2006-03-25t16:29z
Those pages will need to be reformatted slightly, as the linebreaks are hardcoded in, but it'll otherwise work fine. I'll go ahead and make the shortcut box change. æle ✆ 2006-03-26t02:03z

Boycott

re: citation. i actually hunted this one down earlier and then forgot. it's copied verbatim from a .gov site (google cache for highlighting). i don't know what to do with citation stuff or copyright compliance checks, can you deal with this? or explain what needs to be done with it on the boycott talk page. thanks :) -Quiddity 08:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hola

Hello ;D I was trying to fix a link here where it says "userbox barnstar" but somehow I just got it messed up. At least it doesn't link to the Thallium article any more but it still doesn't look like the creator of that barnstar intended. Would you mind fixing it please? Rosa 23:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems someone fixed it while I was writing this LOL Thanks anyways ;)Rosa 23:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Create an account!

If you're so well known within Wikipedia, received barnstars, awards, etc (as I've noticed), exactly what do you have against creating an account and contributing with that? Do you like being anonymous? There are lots of benefits to creating an account, as I'm sure you know about - you'd even be able to join Esperanza, which is a Wikipedia-organization that exists to promote goodwill. You can even chat to us on IRC after you join.

I strongly urge you to reconsider. Or maybe explain to us why you like being anonymous so we can stop saying 'create an account!' and the endless 'Welcomes' because I'm sure you're getting sick of it by now.

PS: I understand your reasons for reverting on my userpage ages ago because I deleted a warning, but please assume good faith. An admin assisted me to archive my page. I wasn't a vandal then and I'm certainly not one now. — File:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (T • C • W) 04:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I too advise you to get an account. The community is very supportive, and you're already a hugely experienced and talented individual. Why not become a Wikipedian? I'm sure everyone here agrees with me when I say that you're not just the regular IP. Please reconsider, and cheers! :D M o P 05:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what I think you should do: get an account, but don't tell anyone that you've gotten one - and keep editing from this anon IP from time to time, so everyone thinks you still haven't gotten an account. Then, using your account, leave a few messages here imploring yourself to get an account. That would be a hootenanny!!! BDAbramson T 19:04, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No I haven't... 68.39.174.238 21:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, please stay anonymous. You are just a few hundred edits away from possibly becoming the first IP to make 10000 edits. That would be some sort of milestone. --TML1988 21:09, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, no [8]. — Mar. 25, '06 [08:28] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Um, how about "first IP to make 10,000 non-vandalism edits"? BDAbramson T 04:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving

As you do not seem interested in archiving this page yourself, would you object if I were to make an archive (or two) for you? BDAbramson T 01:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably 68.39.174.238 02:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC) (PS. I'm leaving this response here so other people can see it without sifting though your talk page to find it. Thanx again.)[reply]
Any particular reason? Long pages (talk or otherwise) take longer for users with slow internet access to load and read, and may take much longer to save edits to. That may not be a problem yet, but at the rate your page is growing, eventually it will. BDAbramson T 02:08, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I (think) I have my reasons. I'll investigate options more often as things like not being able to find stuff myself. 68.39.174.238 02:14, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok - let me know if you change your mind - cheers! BDAbramson T 02:23, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Nussle

Thanks for the tip, but the Signpost tries not to edit already "published" stories except to make corrections, since most people only read the stories once, upon publication, and wouldn't see any updates. My bit about Jim Nussle was in the "In the news" section, which usually focuses on external media attention on Wikipedia, not on our internal processes, and in any case, it didn't appear that the ONE Campaign edits really had anything to do with the ongoing edit wars there -- they just happened to hit a controversial article. If the story appears again in the media this week, however, I will be sure to make a (see related article) cross-reference to the Signpost Arbitration section.

Feel free to come write something for the paper if you ever need a change of pace...

And by the way, congratulations on your 10,000th edit! — Catherine\talk 04:49, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I just updated Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by featured article nominations and it struck me that although you can't be the first anonymous editor to nominate a featured article (5 anons already beat you to it!) you could be the first anon to successfully nominate more than one (it generally takes a fair amount of effort to push an article through the FA process). Just a thought. -- Rick Block (talk) 00:30, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a test, of sorts - I've uploaded Image:KingdomOfAlbania.png - does this look right to you? (Respond here, my talk is closed, as I'm on a Wikibreak. No, really I am). BDAbramson T 21:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Old (noncom) Image replaced in all (Two) uses. You can shoot it up now, I've saved a copy of it locally incase it's needed later. 68.39.174.238 21:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Shoot it up? How do you mean that? BDAbramson T 22:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You can delete the old one as it's been replaced by an image that exactly fulfils its purpose and is licensed noncommercially (IE. May be "deleted without further warning" since it was uploaded after the May 29 cutoff date). 68.39.174.238 22:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've perma-blocked the imposter account, who claims to have been created so you (User:68.39.174.238) can use it as an account. If you don't intend to do so, it should remain blocked, as even well-meaning imposters are not allowed. BDAbramson T 01:40, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As was mentioned on the talk page, some dudes on the vandal-channel are trying to get me to use it. Even if I did use it legitimately I'd never work when someone else got this IP addr. 68.39.174.238 01:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Pssh, if you think your IP address is going to be changed we better del you from wl and add you to bl right now, considering the vandalism from before you had this IP. --Rory096 01:51, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please archive!!!!

I can tell from looking at your talk page that this has been requested of you many times before, and I really really really wish that you would consider archiving. I'm trying to get the kinks knocked out of a new Wikipedia app I've been working on, and everything was working perfectly until I landed upon an edit you made to Molotov Monday, which I'm sure will soon be deleted. I've spent the last ... I don't even know how long ... debugging what I thought was an infinite do-loop. It turns out that the app was freezing because your talk page is 147,000 characters long (166kb in actual length) which jammed up my pagefeed routines. Luckly, thanks to you, I've identified a previously unknown limitation to the software, but as I'm planning on releasing the app this sunday, I really did not need that additional stress tonight. You must be aware how drastically your talk page exceeds the page size limitations on Wikipedia, and I know full well that the size of your talk page has caused problems for more people than just myself. If you would like me to archive the page for you, I'd be more than willing--just please do something about it. Thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say that I wasn't going to say I told you so, but then why would I be saying anything at all? BDAbramson T 02:58, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The database limit for all pages in Wikipedia is 1MB, so it might be a good idea to set that as the maximum... Titoxd(?!? - help us) 03:00, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
