I think we might have another User:BryanFromPalatine sock

His first edit was to Bryan's user page. User:The_Friendly_Ghost removed the edit of some IP troll who posted a link to Bryan's phone book entry. No quarrel with the edit at all, as that needed to be removed, but isn't that a funny place to edit for your very first edit to Wikipedia? And a funny place to be looking if you were not involved? How should I proceed with this? Should I ask for a Checkuser? Or just let him be? --BenBurch 03:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

He's editing WW-II topics as Bryan did under his ClemsonTiger sock. And look at the wording of the protest he put on his user page when I marked it as a suspected sock. This is Bryan, I am almost sure of it. --BenBurch 05:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Newyorkbrad's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. And as for your comment that "you could not believe it when you saw Newyorkbrad's name at the top of RfA at last" ... well, I guess I decided it was better to risk being a few weeks to late than a few weeks to soon; anyway, it's done now.

vadalism

Hi,

I just wondered if there is a way for me and another user to stop vandalism on our article instead of deleting, we have an article called the crims which is about an online game of which we are moderators and have been assigned to stop anymore vandalism to the article as we have had recent problems which have been sorted, i have heard of something called vandal proof i would like to know if that helps stop the vandalism to articles and if so would it be possible for me and 1 other user to get it??

Regards,

SammyBoyTCcrew

i need to be able to put back the previous edits as last time alot was edited and we had to almost remake to whole thing

Nothing now

My gurdian angel led me to the way. Hmm. How did the <pre> tags get there in the first place? I wa sraging then turned my back and they were there. Could someone be editing under my name? --D.H. ( T | C ) 20:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I( do not know. Should I remove the pre tags then purge? And the Message box still stays the same even though I added diff to the end. (last change) in stead of (diff)

Still dont work...

Mozilla-not firefox

Maybe yu should just clear it.

Hammer is sitting next to me.

Thank you

Thank you for your assistance. --D.H. ( T | C ) 21:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

VP

Hi, I haven't received any information about my VandalProof application, but my name hasn't been added to the list of approved people. I assume I've been turned down for some reason - would you mind explaining why? If this was nothing to do with you, sorry!

Threadjacking, re: VP warnings... I'm kinda waiting to see whether they keep {{test4}}/{{blatantvandal}} and those, where ONE warning is all should be given. By the way, thank you for letting me know regarding the customized warnings. - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 01:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Up until now, I only really gave bv if I see 3+ edits by an editor that was very bad vandalism, but... I think bv needs to be revisited if people think it's not WP:AGF at all. - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 02:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

User:WikiMan53 and VandalProof

Hi Prodego,

I have to ask you to check this user, WikiMan53, and his edits regarding VP: [1] - removing one user from the VP Approval list and [2] - telling the user that the his VP application was rejected, by using the same message that you VP Moderators use.

Even I, sometimes, tell peoples that their VP request will be likely rejected, but as you can see here, I clearly state that I'm not a moderator and so on. This user doesn't do the same ;-)

So, can you check the whole affair?

VP

Now that I have reached over 500 mainspace edits and an overall edit count of over 1000, do you think that I can reapply for VP even if my past application was filled only 11 days ago? Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 00:34, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Done Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 00:53, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: BryanFromPalatine socks

I am not familiar with the case. Which of the articles are you referring to? Or is it the AN/I page itself? Owen× ☎ 00:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's a full time job to stay on top of the mess on Free Republic... I'd just protect it for now, and once it's brought back to a workable state, change it to semi-protect. Owen× ☎ 01:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

VP approvals

Hi Prodego, I notice you're a mod for VandalProof and that you seem to be active at the moment. I just wondered if you might consider taking a look at the Awaiting Approval section - there's a few people on it now and I've been there since yesterday. I've already been approved once but I seem to have been among the casualties of the move to the 1.31 userlist. It's not especially urgent, but I did a fair bit of vandalfighting yesterday and I'd be keen to try out the latest incarnation of VP. Thanks, and sorry to hassle, --YFB ¿ 02:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Snowolf & VP

Thanks for the approval ;-) Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 03:09, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

At the moment, VP still tells me that I'm not on the authorized user list. I'll try again in 6 hours or so. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 03:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Now that I check more carefully, it seems that my nick disappeared from User:AmiDaniel/VP/Approval. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 03:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Still not working. It still say "You are not on the user list" Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 03:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Cookies are working. IE version is 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp2_gdr.050301-1519 Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 03:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've done it. Same result... I'm leaving now, I'm sorry. See you. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 03:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've tried also VP 1.22, which at least starts correctly, but immediately provide me the following error message:

1. You might have entered an incorrect username. Currently, your username is set to Snowolf. You can change this at anytime from "Set Username" under the File menu.
2. You might not be correctly logged into Wikipedia with that username. Try logging into Wikipedia within the current browser.
3. You might not be on the list of authorized users. Please post a request for permission to use VandalProof on the VandalProof talk page. If you have received a message stating that you have already been added to the list, please contact the user who posted that message.

Now, in the right upper corner, it's clearly stated that I'm logged in as Snowolf...

I have to think that the problem it's not within my pc, but in the authorized user list.

Nevertheless, now I'll try with a different IE version.

Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 09:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

The problem is on my computer. I've tried with another computer and it works. Now I'm preparing for reinstallation ;-) Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 10:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Uhm... I reinstalled XP four times... nothing... VP still won't work, but on the pc just next to mine, which this afternoon was running the same XP version of mine (with the same IE, the sam updates, etc... only other programs were different) and now is running Vista with IE 7, it' running perfectly. I really don't know what to do! Bye and Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk) on 03:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Redskunk

So I have 31 mainspace edits? Redskunk 03:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

What exactly is a mainspace edit? Redskunk 03:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I watch newpage and that doesn't seem to be showing up. Why is that? Redskunk 03:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
