Re: Sockpuppets.

Got a chance to look it over -- all three accounts you mentioned are now blocked. Luna Santin 00:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

BJAODN

I'm sorry; but I'm not sure what you are asking when you say, "what is the meaning of this page?" in regards to Wikipedia:57 Varieties of Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense. Are you asking about that specific page, WP:BJAODN in its entirety, or just the specific edit you mention later in your message on my talk page?

As for why I added User talk:Dr. Stephen J. Krune III to BJAODN; I found that entire talk page to be hilariously funny. I'm sure, being one of the parties to that discussion that you would disagree, but humor is subjective anyway.

I found Krune's hystarics amusing; hence I added it to BJAODN. Of course, it seems more than likely that he was here to troll in a misguided effort to be amusing anyway, so perhaps per WP:DENY I shouldn't have added it. But WP:DENY is an essay, and BJAODN is for bad jokes and frankly, I think Krune was here to pull a bad joke and even if he wasn't, his talk page reads like a bad joke (to me).

Does that answer your question? If not let me know. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 19:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is a joke page. Check out WP:BJAODN to learn all about "Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense". There are, at this point, 57 pages of bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. Some are better than others. When I'm bored I go look at them, and when I find something I think is funny I add it. As for how I found out about Krune... I was reading the firestorm over at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship, so I took a look at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ryulong 3 to see what the fuss was about, saw your question to Ryulong about what he (she?) would do with that user, and went over there to see what that was about. In other words, just poking my nose in everything that it doesn't belong in because I'm curious. Such curiosity has gotten me in trouble before. :) ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 19:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I've removed it. The page has been deleted and can only be viewed by admins. Additionally, we now delete most pages about vandals and trolls per DENY and posting such pages to BJAOAN just undermines that. Sarah 16:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Edit to Alexis Bledel

Hispanics encompass a wide range of diverse nations which include Argentina. With her Dad being from there, that makes her a Hispanic. Better to discuss on the talkpage before removal if you are unsure. Please revert. Ronbo76 04:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Username Change.

It's easier than it sounds -- they just need to head to WP:CHU (I suggest giving them the full URL) and put in a namechange request. If they're having any trouble, you can have them copy-paste this at the bottom of the page:

{{subst:Renameuser|Sashajackson|Sasha Jackson|My Very Convincing Reason.}} -- ~~~~

(they should, of course, provide a good reason.) However, it looks like the account you mentioned only has one edit -- that being the case, it's generally easier to just register a new account and leave the older one alone. Hope that helps! Luna Santin 20:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Nah. As somebody who performs a lot of username blocks, it's not likely they'll be blocked over that. If they are, let me know, and I'll be happy to sort it out. Luna Santin 21:32, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Userpage

They were not appropriate in that context, but I'm sure wherever they are currently, they are supposed to be. Cbrown1023 21:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I know, I understood that. :) I didn't scold you for it at all, did I make you feel that way? Cbrown1023 21:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

It was for closure's sake, as to show that the debate was closed and that was the result, the user was blocked and the userpage was deleted. Doesn't that show you the items better? Cbrown1023 21:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Picture Question.

Ahh, the rule there is less clear-cut than we might expect. While free images are allowed on userpages, any fair-use images are restricted (per policy) to the article namespace. Relevant pages include Wikipedia:Image use policy, Wikipedia:Copyrights, and especially Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Fair use criteria. I wouldn't consider myself an expert in this particular policy area by any stretch of the imagination, but as a pretty good rule of thumb, fair use on userpages is discouraged. Luna Santin 23:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. :) Anything fair use is a source of endless debate, around here -- I mostly stay out of it, as well. Luna Santin 23:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Miley and Christian Music

I happen to agree with your definition, but when I went to Category:Christian musicians, they decided otherwise. At some point they changed their minds again. Looks like the page is correct now! Yay! -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 00:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk page vandalism

I did check; and read through them extensively. The comments you removed were not vandalism or disruptive; they would not have been kept or archived by those who regularly edit the pages if they had been. Your removal of Talk page comments, however, is vandalism -- of an egregious sort. I'm sorry, because I can tell you think you were doing the right thing, but it wasn't. Not by a long shot.--Leflyman^Talk 19:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• It's not vandalism if the messages are rude. I've read that. However, I recently wrote on Mr. ChrisGriswold's talk page that I will revert my removals if asked to. If I'm told not to revert them, then someone else can. I didn't vandalize, or intend to vandalize. Acalamari 19:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• I know you didn't "intend" to vandalise, but you did just the same -- in large part because you were given the go-ahead by Chris who should have known much better. That's why I'm posting this up for others to review on the Admin's Noticeboard: not because of your actions-- which, yes were wrong-- but because Chris prompted you to do so. I understand that you are a fairly recent user and want to "learn the ropes' so to speak; it's just highly inappropriate to delete comments by other users, even if you consider them "rude" -- which I do not, nor apparently did the regular editors on the Talk pages you took to "helping". I think you realised that it wasn't appropriate, when you went to Chris to ask if it was alright. --Leflyman^Talk 20:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Please understand that this is not ChrisGriswold's fault, no matter what he said. It's my fault: I was the one who removed the messages because of their content. ChrisGriswold should not have any punishment for this at all. It is my fault, not his. I was removing some of the messages before I asked him about them. Don't take this out on him: it is my fault. Acalamari 20:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Eh. Acalamari, don't worry about it just yet, and don't revert anything you've done. Let's wait until this is posted to see what others have to say. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 20:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Even so, I will revert if I have to. There's no way I'm going to let you have your Adminship revoked. This is my fault, not yours. The responsibility is mine and mine alone. You simply agreed with my actions: you had no actual role in removing any messages. Acalamari 21:02, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Let's also be clear - no good faith contribution to the encyclopedia can ever be vandalism. It is transparently obvious that those comment removals were obviously in good faith, and thus not vandalism. In addition, they were obviously correct actions that helped the encyclopedia. Hipocrite - «Talk» 21:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• Let's be further clear, then: mass removal of legitimate comments for no other reason than because they were left by an IP address claimed to be a banned user is an inherent assumption of bad faith. I suggest you review again which sort of comments were removed.--Leflyman^Talk 21:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• One of the edits you mentioned on the noticeboard, Krune's edit to Talk: Elizabeth (film), you say was fine. The last time I looked commenting on what the film is about does not belong on talk pages. No one should care what someone thinks of a film: talk pages are to discuss the article, not the subject. Also, do not accuse me of bad faith. I'm not giving out any accusations here. Acalamari 22:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• You didn't notice that the Elizabeth comments were left under a section "Perhaps some discussion of how historically accurate this film is..." making it an entirely legitimate there. You might also not have noticed the follow-up to the IP's comments by another editor which noted, "This is pretty much the best movie review I have ever read, for any movie, ever. Ralp 18:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)"

A closer look, actually, reveals that you deleted the comments not of the IP, but those of user UUCP -- which makes your action even more grievous. I have now reverted this deletion.

Further, I stand by the statement that it is an inherent assumption of bad faith to delete wholesale a single user/IP's comments on the belief that the user is banned. That is entirely contrary to Wikipedia norms.--Leflyman^Talk 22:18, 30 January 2007

I had noticed that comment, but at the time I was scouting for Krune's messages. I was going to take another look at that one later to review it...but I haven't had that chance because you've already brought the topic up. For that, I thank you. Acalamari 22:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

You didn't revert my mistake. I just had to go and do it. Acalamari 22:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia's servers timed-out during a pop-up revert. Please calm down.--Leflyman^Talk 22:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. :) Acalamari 22:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

"Please calm down?" He only corrected you. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 22:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, "please calm down": as the tone of marking the edit as an "Urgent revert" and leaving insistent "I just had to go and do it" comments here and on my talk page indicated an over-excited state.--Leflyman^Talk 23:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It was an urgent revert: I made a serious mistake and I had to correct it. Acalamari 23:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• I understand you feel that way. Reverting yourself was an appropriate action; but "urgency" is not a requisite description for reverts. Edit summaries-- particularly for minor edits, which is what reverts are considered-- don't have an "importance" qualifier. Describing it as an "urgent revert" just came off as, well, overexcited.--Leflyman^Talk 23:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I can see your point. The reason I used that edit summary was because I wanted anyone who saw edit to know that I had made a mistake. Acalamari 23:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• There's no need to hang a light on your mistakes; owning up and fixing them is just fine :) --Leflyman^Talk 23:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I Know It's Not MySpace

I'm not sharing my account I'm using it so me and kids at my school can talk about it and help each other out with stuff. That's the only reason I made it. 209.106.216.1 20:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Admin's Noticeboard

• You might have already seen it, but I have offered to use my talk page as a place to discuss this issue. The trouble with the noticeboard is that it is a long page, and takes times to load. Others users (including other administrators) can still link to my talk page to discuss this. My talk page is also a much smaller page compared to the noticeboard. Acalamari 21:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• While I understand the sentiment, that really isn't appropriate. The Admin's Noticeboard is a centralized discussion area for particular issues that are intended for wide attention and comment. Your talk page is for discussions one-on-one with other users. The various noticeboard pages are always long, because there is always something someone is unhappy about.--Leflyman^Talk 21:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, nothing seems to be going on at that discussion at the moment, which was another reason why I suggested my talk page. However, I understand what you said; but I will leave the option there, just in case. After all, it's because of me we're in this mess. Acalamari 21:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Alerting other editors re: Policy/Guidlines etc.

Acalamari, kindly inform yourself fully of a given Wikipedia policy/guideline before you go about leaving similar messages as you previously left on my talk page. Specifically I would recommend reading WP:3RR to understand why I reverted your "alert" from my talk page. Thanks. (→Netscott) 23:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

That's fine, I appreciate the reconciliatory messages you've left for me. Thanks again. (→Netscott) 23:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

One last thing, this is also why I was less than pleased to see your original message... this banned user unfortunately has a history of instigating others to act as his proxy to cause me difficulties and I fully expected that this was the same case (which CheckUser has now confirmed). Now that the truth is fully in the light I'll take the opportunity to apologize fully for my side in that dust up. Cheers. (→Netscott) 03:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Help!

Hey, can you help me? I added another comment to the Michael Richards AFD page, and it appears that the page has gotten too long. When I click edit, I can see the full page - but comments on the bottom do not appear to be visible in the non-edit mode. (including votes!) Can you take a look at it, please? I'm not sure. I may have done something wrong here. Thanks! Cleo123 00:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Never mind! Looks like it may have been an editing conflict. Thanks any way! Cleo123 00:24, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

About Molly Ivins

Hi Acalamari! (I like your user name.) I see that you've added the semi-protection tag to Molly Ivins. Unfortunately, per Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy, only admins may do this. Please remove the tag and request page protection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Thanks! --Tkynerd 01:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

No, you're good. My mistake. I thought the tag applied the protection. I find it odd that User:Gamaliel didn't add the tag when he or she protected the page, but maybe admins don't have time to do that. Many apologies for bothering you. --Tkynerd 01:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

The tag is merely a notification. Adding or deleting it does nothing except put the banner there. But you know that now. :) P.S. I tried it once, too, way back when. :) Wahkeenah 03:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I understand. I just didn't explain very well. Cheerio. :) Wahkeenah 03:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Can I Make A Request?

Our high school has recently employed the means of a program called Dansguardian. Because of it we can no longer access our email or any kind of chat site. I ask only that you allow us to communicate on MCEstu freely. If anyone breaks the rules that you have laid down simply tell me and I will speak with them myself. I ensure you we only desire to communicate freely. If you wish, we can change the name so that others do not accidentlly stumble on to it. This is my only request and I ask that you at least consider it before makeing a decision. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stanler (talk • contribs) 21:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

I thank you for your time and will speak with nextbigpaint and others that have been told . I apologize for the trouble we have caused and, again, thank you for your time. One more question, how do I sign?

This is why I want to do this. I would like to get other peoples opinions on the issue before I post it on the site.

Sorry

Just a quick note to say I'm sorry for the nomination of User:Konstable to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names, it was meant to be a good faith proposal but as I am now aware, he is an established user (I was only going off the comment he left on his user page) and after going through Rfa, he shouldn't have been nominated. Once again, sorry if you thought I was being provocative RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:56, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

There's no need to apologize. I simply asked about the word "constable," as I've heard that word many times. I can see, however, where you thought the word meant "cunt stubble." Acalamari 23:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to make sure no-one thought I wasn't assuming bad faith, because I wasn't. Upon reflection, I'm glad the user name has been allowed as it could mean constable as well RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 00:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Hate To Sound Bossy...

Nope, haven't had much time to check email, yet, today. I'll probably get to it after finishing up on some homework -- if you're okay waiting, that's cool, if not, you could post to the admin noticeboard to get somebody's attention. Luna Santin 21:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFCN

I've just seen your conversation on HighInBC's talkpage. Please don't delete your barnstars. As to your comment: "I was more concerned that I had gone from a "reasonable" user to an idiot in less than 24 hours". I certainly don't think this has happended. WP:RFCN has always been a bit of a mess and procedure there is very unclear. The notification template, for example, was only created on Jan 29... I know we haven't seen eye-to-eye on a few of your latest reports but I do not think you are looking to get users blocked. I think you may be preempting difficulties where none may arise, and I'm not sure that's helpful, but have no question you are doing this in the utmost good faith. Ultimately WP:RFCN policy is still developing and people are bound to have differences of opinion as to how it should work. But I am pretty sure no one sees you as an idiot or feels you have acted in bad faith. I definitely do not. Best wishes, WJBscribe 19:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

You said: "Yamla, I'm not completely sure, but I believe that Pandora04 has broken the three-revert rule. The user has continually removed text from Fergie (singer) that has been put back at least three times. Would you mind confirming that this user has broken it or not?

Not yet. I issued a WP:3RR warning to the user, though. --Yamla 03:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism? I thought several weeks ago another user removed a message from your talk page that was rude to you. I assure you that my edit was not in bad-faith. Acalamari 18:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Removing personal attacks is not vandalism. In fact, no good faith edit is vandalism. If you don't want Acalamari removing personal attacks from your userpage, you can ask him nicely, but it is not vandalism. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove comments from users' talk pages

You deleted a significant amount of material from User:George Carlin's talk page, commenting that it was a "personal attack", when in fact it was clearly complementary towards User:George Carlin. I did not write the material, and I will not revert your edit, but I must insist that you restore the content you removed. Aelffin 17:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I simply did what HignInBC did. It was not vandalism. If HighInBc had not removed it several times first, then I wouldn't have removed it at all. Acalamari 17:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I will leave a message for HighInBC as well. If it were a personal attack, then you could certainly remove it. But if you read it, you will see that the user did not attack User:George Carlin. Aelffin 17:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

• Note to everyone: from now on I will not remove personal attacks or vandalism from user talk pages other than my own. I am tired of being called a vandal when I am clearly not. As for non-user talk pages, I will remove vandalism if it is obvious vandalism. Acalamari 19:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you! Aelffin 20:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop intervening

Acalamari, if you find a problem, come to me. You don't have the experience to handle many of the things you are getting into, and it would be better to get someone with experience. For example, your removing comments from talk pages. Don't do that anymore. You simply don't have the experience yet. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 20:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

You said on my talk page a day or so ago about losing your patience, so I decided to stop asking you for any help, as I didn't want to become irritating. Even before then, I decided to limit asking you for help in order to stop myself from becoming an annoyance. As for removing vandalism or personal attacks from talk/user talk pages...I won't remove any messages from user talk pages other than my own (personal attacks or not, I'll leave the attack messages alone to avoid being called a vandal), and with other talk pages, I'll only remove the vandalism if it's obvious vandalism (like blanking).

Thanks for your note. Yes, you've caught on to one of the major flaws with wikipedia, that "anyone can edit". And when someone famous is in the news for some reason, the vermin come out and chew on the articles. I've found it's best to let the commotion die down for a few days. Or, given that there are plenty of others reverting, you could just check back once in awhile and see if some vandalism has been there for awhile. Then it's safer to revert, i.e. the fix might last a little longer than in the peak of the day. What a nuisance, though. I like writing on this site, but it seems you have to take the bad with the good. Wahkeenah 03:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

No worries. If you look down the right hand side of the page I linked to before, in the box called "deletions tools", you'll see a heading "Speedy", that section has all the speedy tags you can choose from. Sarah 20:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Autoblocked.

Converted block to AO. You should be able to edit now. Sorry for the trouble! – Luna Santin (talk) 03:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

You should be able to edit now. Sorry for any inconveniences . ~ Arjun 04:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, well, glad to see the situation is resolved, either way. – Luna Santin (talk) 22:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the reporter

You did the right thing. You were polite and sensible throughout. It is no problem. :)--Jimbo Wales 02:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Monobooks

Well MB's are really helpful and I believe if you want the best and the basic you should download the popups here ,that would really help you a lot and yeah ..Happy Editing..--Cometstyles 18:55, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Seems like someone left quite a nice and well thought out explanation for you on my talk page :). Go check it out.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 19:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• You're not annoying me with the new message box at all :), more than happy to help. Your monobook is located here User:Acalamari/monobook.js. I doubt you will experience any crashes on your first try. Experiment with the popups code give above (click the link provided by cometstyles). After saving the code on the page be sure to refresh your browser cash (Ctrl+F5 for Internet Explorer, follow the note on the page if you are using any other explorer). If the code and refresh works properly you should see yellow popups whenever you hover over a wikilink. Hope this helps.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 19:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you. I'll try this out later. At the moment, I have been busy with two tasks: your talk page, and helping other users deal with a user with 10-20 sockpuppets. Acalamari 19:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• No firewalls should not affect the coding. It isn't literally new page popups. Merely little yellow boxes that appear like tooltips.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 20:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Good, if firewalls did affect them, the popups would be doomed. Acalamari 20:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Sure no problem..Now Iam trying 2 fix mine..heheCometstyles 20:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Not a bad Idea..pretty cool and smart but nahh I cant go without Either the VandalProof or Popups..anywayz wateva Suits you Best..Ciao..ø~Cometstyles~ø

More sockpuppets of starwars1955

We just completed a checkuser on starwars1955's multiple identities and turned up 25 additional users - see Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser#Sockpuppets_of_starwars1955. Thanks, PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 02:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I saw Acalomari. Acalamari 02:58, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Paris Hilton

This is definitely a sensitive article which warrants semi-protection. However, I would like to see all pages, even those vulnerable to vandalism, such as George W. Bush, be unprotected from time to time. When I joined in 2005, no article ever received indefinite protection. I am particularly willing to unprotect a page if vandalism has been subdued and if it's on my watchlist. - Gilliam 03:10, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.

You said: "Thanks Yamla. It's odd, but there seems to be a problem with my IP. I seem to be on three slightly different ones. I can't work it out. Anyway, I can edit, so thanks."

It's probably your ISP using a proxy server. ISPs are annoying that way. --Yamla 23:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your message

I'm not really sure what you want us to do about it but I don't think anything can be done. I suggest you just ignore it. Sarah 08:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Acalamari, this is another example of you over-reacting to something. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree I probably was overreacting, but when I joined Wikipedia, I didn't expect to get badmouthed and hated on blogs. I had better not get vandalism to my user or talk pages for as a result. Acalamari 16:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, because that is so difficult to revert. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 20:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

What is difficult to revert? I can easily revert vandalism on my user and talk pages (I just haven't been able to because Ryulong and Tra reverted it before I could,:) which I'm glad about). What did you mean? Acalamari 20:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

←On a random note, i thnk many active wikiepdians will make enemies. I recently found this with a nice "chrislk02 sucks" and a wonderfully vandalzied picture of myself! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I saw your message on Bubba Hotep's talk page, as I noticed my user page linked to there. I occasionally Google my username, only out of curiosity. You and I aren't the only ones with outisders hating us: I believe RyanPostlethwaite had people hate him as well. Acalamari 20:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I kind of look at it as a good thing! I am making enough of an impression that people have a problem with me. I personally dont have a problem with it! (It actually makes me feel that my effors on wikipedia do not go unnotices (which i am sure all of us feel from time to time)). The same goes for userpage vandalism. I feel that when my userpage gets vandalized, it means i am doing a good job! There are also many paeople watching my page (as well as yours) and when those vandal do strike, there is an army ready to strike them down! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I would love to stay invovled with this conversation but I am headed up to University of Virginia for a weekend of partying and the such! Take it easy. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

(Last message for you then) I agree, it is a good thing. I wish mine had come from reverting vandalism and not from reporting a name, but hey, I'm on someone's blog, even if they do hate me. I'll admit I was a bit scared at first (I'm 16, I didn't expect to be on a blog with so many heavily-negative things being said about me), but then I realized that they're only giving me publicity, and that I shouldn't be worried about what they're saying. Acalamari 20:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Acalamari, your right, I had a forum started up becuase I had a band called Rock Slope speedy deleted, the thread can be found here. As chris was saying, if something like this occurs, it probably means your doing a good job! I personally felt honoured that some people would go out of their way to start a forum about me! Oh yeah then theres [[Image:N500977567_16527_6213.jpg]] picture. I'm going to say well done for joining the club! But how do you feel about it? RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 22:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

How do I feel? Well, after being unsettled at first, I got over it. These people are giving me publicity. There's no point in getting upset or angry about what they're writing, as that would distract me from my Wikipedia and real life. Some of them were saying about how I waste time editing Wikipedia, but do they realize that they're wasting more time hating me? Acalamari 23:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah it is unsettling at first, I requested an editor review and had my userpage protected as I thought I was doing something wrong. What you need to remember is that they haven't got your address, they haven't got your phone number, all they know you as is Acalamari. Your not doing anything wrong on wikipedia, your request to WP:RFCN was a goof faith nomination, and by the sounds of the above forum, all angryblackwoman was doing when creating a username was trying to provoke a reaction RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

You read the links I gave to HighInBC and Sarah Ewart? If you did, good. As for them knowing me, yes, they only know me as Acalamari. I am glad you have to be a registered user to use the "E-mail this user feature," and I'm even more glad that the E-mail isn't revealed until someone responds. That way, no one can spam you. I'm not worried about these people, and even if they decide to vandalize my user and talk pages every hour, that won't bother me either, as I can always ask for semi-protection, like you did for your user page. :) Acalamari 23:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the Barnstar. Putting up with users like that is just part of the job, but it's nice to get the props for it! | Mr. Darcy talk 16:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hi Alacamari! Thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia! I certainly enjoy being here, editing stuff and laughing at the humour here. I regret not being able to edit as much as I like, because I have to do my work as a psychotherapist. Yet, after having listened to people´s worries it is so enjoyable to come to Wikipedia, where there are so many cheerful and enthusiastic persons! --Tellervo 07:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

You are very welcome. Acalamari 20:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

May I email you my latest article to make sure it meets standards? Thanks Project for Pride in Living 21:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: 10,000 Accounts.

Heh, that would be something. How would he keep them all organized? ;) He apparently does have a number of sleepers, but I doubt it's any number large enough for us to really be concerned over. – Luna Santin (talk) 22:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, he does have a lot of sleepers. I think 10,000 is a bluff; it would take a lot of time to just to acutally set up all those accounts. Acalamari 23:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

vandal watching

Thanks for watching my back. Keep fighting the good fight. Kaisershatner 19:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Locked Article

Will the lock be removed form Anna Nicole Smith's article any time soon? The media hype about her death isn't as big anymore, so there won't be such a flurry of edits as there were on the day they found her body. Half the people I know forgot that she died in the first place. 212.139.222.62

Since the vandalism has died down a lot, I think it will be removed at some stage. I'll ask an administrator if unprotection should be requested. Acalamari 19:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: Anna Nicole Smith Unprotection.

The expiry time for the protection is currently set to never. By now I would have opted to unprotect it but if you look at the history even established users (those registered for more than 4 days or more) are still vandalizing it. May need another few weeks or so. If however, the vandalism starts to really cool off for at least 3-4 days, I'll consider unprotecting it.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 19:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for your response. I'm keeping an eye on the article anyway. It's in my watchlist. Acalamari 21:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

With Love (song) and quotation marks

Regarding With Love (song): Please only include punctuation marks inside quotation marks if they are part of the quote. For example, there is a period in the original Billboard review that is quoted in the article, but there isn't one in "Spankin' New Music Week", so the punctuation should come outside the quotation marks. For more information, see WP:MOS#Quotation_marks. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 21:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. I should have paid more attention. Acalamari 21:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, no need to apologise :). Extraordinary Machine 21:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

LAX

Glad to help, you're a good editor. Feel free to ask, anytime you have an article you're personally interested in. Do feel free to add back some of the details I've deleted, though. I can't tell if one article I looked at copied from Wikipedia or Wikipedia copied from it. To be on the safe side of copyvios (none), I've deleted quite a bit. I also edited Briana Carr's article. KP Botany 20:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

PS Acalamari has over two syllables, how could you possible expect anyone to spell it correctly?

• You did a great job! Thanks! I thinking about removing the information you removed, so I'm not going to put it back in. I will, however, remove that information about Destiny's Child that was already there. I don't see how that's relevant to the article at the moment. As for my name, it's not as though people have to actually say it: they just have to look carefully at the name. :) Acalamari 20:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Rosemary2003

Hi Acalamari --

Please don't goad Rosemary on with further responses or conflict. Looking at her edit history, she appears to only here to troll, and giving her attention is the response she's looking for. She has received her civility warnings, and if she continues to make personal attacks she can be reported at WP:ANI. Thanks! ~CS 17:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

After that message I posted, I was going to stop anyway. I want to watch and see what happens next. I consider this to be another lesson. Acalamari 17:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but you have to understand you are an avid troll feeder. Stop giving people the negative attention they seek and they will go away. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Knowing nothing about the school in question, I'm just wondering whether there is any truth behind the rants about that school? Or is it just belligerence? Wahkeenah 21:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I couldn't respond earlier; there were power outages were I live, which is why I haven't edited much recently. To Mr. ChrisGriswold: I don't keep responding to trolls. I gave Rosemary2003 a warning after they left a threatening message on your talk page: I wasn't going to revert your talk page again. To Wahkeenah: what school are you talking about? Acalamari 02:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Something about an academy in Pittsburgh. Maybe I'm getting my stories mixed up here. Too many pages on my watch list. :\ Wahkeenah 02:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, you mean Shady Side Academy. Acalamari 02:52, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

That would be the one. Either that user is a random vandal, or has a serious personal axe to grind against that school, or both. Wahkeenah 03:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
