Lucky 6.9
I just got word that I've been promoted to administrator. I truly cannot begin to thank all of you enough, whether you supported me or not. Even the oppose votes show that you care about the project. I promise not to let you down and I promise to personally thank each and every one of you!
Many Thanks
Thanks for supporting my RFA. It couldn't have happened without your effort. FeloniousMonk 17:35, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
I think you were a bit quick on the button on this one. I was actually editing it for an expansion and got an edit conflict with your deletion. Yes it was a sub-stub, but there was the context there to do easy expansion to a decent stub. 1 google search did it.
Could you restore the history since the current version incudes soem text based on the original sub-stub? DES (talk) 18:43, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
- You wrote: I'll have to take a look as to how. The original entry was nothing more than something like "Geo is a Pakistani television channel" without so much as a period. - Lucky 6.9 18:45, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
I know -- that is what I started editing from (I think it did say "GEO TV" though). If the undel of history is too tricky, how about a note on the talk page indicting the user who created the first sub-stub? DES (talk) 18:51, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the history. DES (talk) 19:05, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that I changed your copyvio link, it appears that the text was originally on IMDb gkhan 19:06, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks! And you know what, I really am da man! gkhan 19:29, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

I'm fine with you joining in on the request for arbitration, but if you don't mind it would be nice to cut the snarky retorts, even if you are being baited. I hope you understand; I'm trying to keep the tone professional, as I think that improves the chances of handling this issue successfully. --Michael Snow 21:11, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. --Michael Snow 21:23, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

I just reblocked your buddy. As soon as he was unblocked, he created Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Wiki brah. Zoe 03:34, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
Hi I am back again good morning. I was thinking about a few things. How cann I get those cool templates on my page like "french speaker," "english speaker," et cetera? I want you to teach me how to make templates I have a few ideas for templates that should help out and also I would like to write a new article on a pornographic model named Sarah (I dont know her last name).Wiki brah 19:02, 17 August 2005 (UTC)!!

Maoririder's past
When I was looking at Maoririder's latest contributions, I noticed he worked on an article called Prison Break which fit his style perfectly. But when I checked the history, to my surprise it wasn't created by him, but by User:Historicperson. This user's talk page is very similar to Maoririder's- people begging him to stop with the nanostubs. I'm thinking they're the same person. What do you think?

Speedy request
Hey! Could I get you to delete Joshua Bendowski (only if you agree that it meets the criteria, of course)? It's an anon article and speedy tags seem to get removed from it, so I'd like to get it trashed before my tag is removed. Thanks in advance! --Scimitar parley 17:09, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, it's certainly satisfying to see garbage disappear.--Scimitar parley 18:03, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Nice catch...
Noticed on the block list that you caught a User:ZScout270 on wheels before they could "contribute" — good eye! - jredmond 19:51, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Yo, Willy. Fast enough for you? - Lucky 6.9 19:56, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Quomodo?
Felix sum quam te me videos. Sed quam malis facio? Ego non cognosco. Check out my new user page now thank you for your help look at how I improved it and what i said in latin was roughly "Happy i am that you are watching me but what wrong did I commit, I don't understand." It is just sometimes earsier for me to communicate in Latin its a more rational parlance.Wiki brah 06:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
deletion of List of Japanese given names
Hi. You deleted List of Japanese given names today. Why? It had a VFD debate without a consensus being reached. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of Japanese given names. There was some further discussion about the fact that there was not a consensus on the talk page, but that appears permanently gone. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 23:44, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for dropping by. That poor title had been created and deleted 114 times, mostly as nonsense. Last time it was posted, it was, well, nonsense. It can easily be unlocked if you'd like to write about it. Gotta run, but take care. Best, Lucky 6.9 23:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
- I think you are confusing this article with another one. This one just appeared in the transwiki log the other day. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:16, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
If you have the time I'd like you to take a look at the two users above. Horatio86 was added to WP:VIP for several cases of vandalism and, about two minutes after that, YumaKid showed up to stick up for him. I've posted {{sockpuppet}} at User:YumaKid with links to their contribs. Thanks! Soltak 00:21, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- He's got another User:ViteroHoratio, Special:Contributions/ViteroHoratio
As an admin, can you run some kind of check to see if all of their IPs match? Soltak 19:49, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Is there a place to post a request for a Bureaucrat to check the IPs or do you need to just ask one? (I don't personally know any) Soltak 19:55, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for passing the names along! :-) Soltak 20:32, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- By the way, you just blocked one of the AOL proxies my server rotates to :D Soltak 20:32, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
""There's no specific policy against it, but it's generally considered uncool unless you have a good reason." From Wikipedia:Sock_puppet. The reason being that Soltak has taken what started as harmless and turned it into a personal crusade against me... I request, no demand that the tag be removed from my user page and that this harassment stop immediatly. If the harassment continues I will appeal to higher athority, the the founder himself if required. ViteroHoratio 20:31, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

I failed to notice that you deleted Timothy Bright in between when I loaded and edited the article to add the tag. Nice catch on your part, sorry about the extra work created. — Lomn | Talk 06:19:55, 2005-08-19 (UTC)
Maoririder?
So there I was, patrolling new pages, as I'm wont to do, and I spot an article about "Chief Michael Chitwood" (now at Michael Chitwood. Now, normally this wouldn't catch my notice, except that he's police chief for Portland, Maine, one of Maoririder's favorite subjects. I checked the edit history of User:130.111.105.203, the anon IP who submitted it, and have started tagging some articles for speedy deletion. This anon also evidently likes Arthur, so I would suggest strongly that it may in fact be Maoririder. --Scimitar parley 15:58, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- Also check out User:130.111.96.164, who appeared right after I left a message on the first anon's talk page. I have not left a message on this guy's page. Don't want to spook him. --Scimitar parley 16:09, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- On second thought, I will. This following him around is getting annoying. --Scimitar parley 16:16, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- Maoririder still hasn't commented at his RfC. I don't think he intends to, either. I can't begin to guess at his motivations, but I'm postive both of these anons are him. --Scimitar parley 16:22, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- If I was an admin, I'd give him a warning, and as soon as he crossed it, I'd give him a short block. It's your call, though. --Scimitar parley 16:37, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- He's logged in now. We should probably try to talk him through his RfC. What do you think?--Scimitar parley 16:42, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- See the talk on his RfC page for the latest. He's been creating sockpuppets... whether to get around your block or just generally to throw people off his trail, I'm not sure. -Satori 18:43, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Congrats!
You finally made it! The admin that could! What a ridiculous ordeal it's been. I've no doubt you're up to the task.
By the way, I created List of countries by population (graphical), and someone listed it for deletion. It's been over a week, and I believe consensus is to keep the page, but I don't think I should be the one to close the discussion. You wanna break that new mop in? – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 17:36, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
Bureaucrat IP Check
Hey, just wanted to let you know that bureaucrats can't check IP addresses, as at the moment I believe it's restricted to developers. A proposal has been made to allow us to do that, however. Thanks for passing my name on as "one of the best" though :D — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 21:06, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
More Maoririder?
Lucky, please take a look at User:4.160.207.175. The style, inclucding a faked stub tag, looks very very much like our friend. DES (talk) 02:45, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Your buddy
Your buddy Wiki brah left me a note asking for some help; I've got quite a bit on my plate at the moment, trying to put together an RfAr, deal with my admin responsibilities, keep up with the watchlist, and fufill my real world obligations. I don't want to come off as rude or ignore him; since you're helping him out, could you look into what he needs and give him a hand? Thanks! -- Essjay · Talk 05:12, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Could you explain what you mean by "Forgive me, but your editing style is very much the same as is your choice of subjects. The user in question has been adding some very disruptive edits as of late and has been known to create sockpuppet accounts?" Are you saying that my edits are disruptive?
