Re:User: Randy Baer

I was only reverting edit by an IP address which I thought to be vandalism. I would never intentionly vandalize someone else's userpage. Sometimes I've made some revertions without looking at them, I just saw an IP editing a userpage and was a tad bit hasty. I have reverted it back now and deleted the clearly wrong warning I gave to the IP. Anyway I'll put the articles on my watchlist and if there's any other way I can help, let me know.

AngelOfSadness talk has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Looks like only admins can edit RD Reynolds. So that article is not a problem considering the vandals will not be able to become admins overnight(thank god). AngelOfSadness talk 16:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

If the guy who has just re-registered is a vandal, you could make a sockpuppet report on him as he created another account to evade the block given to him on his other account. AngelOfSadness talk 20:01, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you so much, DX927! I guess I was in "robot-mode" for a while, and I'm really sorry. Again, thanks; and I'll be on the lookout. :) *Cremepuff222* 02:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

User:RD Reynolds

Another clone of the Randy Baer/Blade Braxton vandal, by the looks of things. I've even noticed him accusing anonymous users of 'vandalising' pages, when they're only cleaning up his mess (User talk:144.32.130.132#Vandal. I've left a message on his talk page, but you might want to step in, as you've had more experience of dealing with this guy. Elcondor 18:27, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I've become a bit of a 'Crapper' myself after seeing the wiki.

On another note, the RD Reynolds page has been nominated for AfD again, you may wish to contribute to the discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elcondor (talk • contribs) 19:02, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out, would you know why there isn't a page on Blade Braxton (or Troy Ferguson, as his real name appears on the ECW press site for the new book. [1]) Elcondor 19:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Now Samueld4bombay is vandalizing the talk page to remove your ban threat. Still, the undo button isn't too hard to hit. Elcondor 19:52, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

W.Crap

No problems there! I just read some of the above comments, yes sometimes we can get a little hasty, but more often than not, we don't get it wrong. Hope you enjoy wikipedia. Phgao 22:48, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

That's good to know! You can report them on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism if they vandalise more than 4 times, and have been warned. Phgao 23:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Thanks (Wrestlecrap)

Re your message: No problem. =) Upon review of the edit history for WrestleCrap‎, I decided to set the page-protection for that article to be the same as RD Reynolds. That should help a little, though it appears the vandals are now using sleeper accounts. -- Gogo Dodo 00:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: I'm not sure I want to know how Fruity Pebbles is related to WrestleCrap. Very strange. So far the vandalism seems fairly light on the article, so it does not require protection at this time. -- Gogo Dodo 21:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: Yes, indeed they do. Very weird. I checked all of the accounts that did the various vandalisms to Flintstones pages and they have been indefinitely blocked. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Royal Rumble (2008)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. TJ Spyke 02:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry, I think he thinks he's Wikipedia's wrestling god or something.-- FPAtl (holla, holla, holla) 00:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Warped Tour 2008

MySpace is not a valid source. Corvus cornix_talk 06:09, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to get into a "yes they are", "no they're not" argument with you. Provide proof that MySpace is reliable. Wikipedia consensus and precedent is to remove MySpace links. Try again. Corvus cornix_talk 06:13, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

In addition, using Undo to remove my edits is improper use of the Undo button. I suggest you learn what it's for and try editing in a more collegial manner. Corvus cornix_talk 06:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I've opened a discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Warped_Tour_2008. Corvus cornix_talk 06:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

"We"? Who is "we"? Corvus cornix_talk 06:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello, DX927. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Corvus cornix_talk 06:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked three hours from editing for 3RR violation on Warped_Tour_2008 in order to cool off a bit. --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 06:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

The block wasn't intended to be punitive, since you have been a good faith editor in the past it was kept short to allow for a cooling off period, which is what seems to have been the effect. What led me to block you particularly were some of your statements like "I suggest you move on. We've been doing this for years now and it's been going fine." which indicate that there was a problem with a proprietary attitude towards the article in question. You've put a lot into it, but if another editor makes a policy-driven point about a source in an article, any article, that point has to be addressed, not dismissed and reverted, esp. more than 3 times in 24 hours. This is a sign of edit warring, which will lead to blocks much longer than 3 hours, eventually. Much better in the long run to actually answer someone's concerns in a collegial way and try to work out a consensus wording that will satisfy all parties. --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 14:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I apologize

I had been vandal hunting for quite a while last night and was not in a very good mood, and then you and I had words which both of us probably regret. I could have handled things better. Corvus cornix_talk 20:56, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Warped Tour 2008

I have nominated Warped Tour 2008, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warped Tour 2008. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Saturday Night Main Event

Excuse me, just wondering.. So it was 1988 they changed the theme music? I used to think it was 1989, then i saw the thing on here saying 1987, then it was changed to 1992. So i was confused, FamicomJL had said before it was in 1987. Oh, and the more important reason i was talking.. Where do you find SNME DVD's anyway? I looked all over but couldn't find any for sale, yet they appear to exist. Thanks, Terminator14 (talk) 11:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, so you were watching them on VHS.. So you can't get SNME on DVD? Also, did you like the Animotion song or the generic better? Terminator14 (talk) 19:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Question about Vandalism of Warped Tour 2008

I'm not sure what you mean by saying I vandalized the page for Warped Tour 2008. All I did was correct the link for Blink-182. Connorflanagan (talk) 08:42, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

sockpuppet tag

Hi DX927, you did the right thing here. The IP is clearly ECW500 again or an imitator. One day, hopefully, (s)he may get bored with the game. Happy editing - Peripitus (Talk) 21:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

rating of RD Reynolds

Hi DX927, no consensus is required for this ( or most changes ) - if you see it needs doing you do it, only seeking consensus if it's a contentious change ( or a consensus already exists). The new rating seems to meet the appropriate projects stated importance scale it seems that a low rating is appropriate. Regardless of his reasons for the change, I don't think that importance ratings are important enough to worry about. Happy editing - Peripitus (Talk) 12:07, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Hoax articles

Listing it at AfD would be a better way of getting it deleted, actually, than a prod. Unless you're still trying to show good faith, which is noble of you but doesn't exactly square with an AIV report. Daniel Case (talk) 03:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Someone else has deleted it. I will now be blocking the creator if someone else hasn't. Daniel Case (talk) 03:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you just left a period out of the link. Hold on, I'm nominating it right now. Daniel Case (talk) 03:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

OK, here it is. Daniel Case (talk) 03:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
