Fighting Vandals Help...

Hey Hall Monitor! How's it going? I just wanted to ask you how to fight vandals. Because I wan't to catch them in the act, and I can't seem to because they strike when I am gone, so what should I do? Thanks! Swiftoak 02:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boo!

You spoiled my fun by sprotecting Sildenafil. I've blocked around 20 open proxies from his run. I was starting to get bored and was thinking about sprotecting it myself. --GraemeL ^(talk) 18:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would you block this guy again for vandalism to Seaman's act please. - the.crazy.russian (T) (C) (E) 17:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

204.220.139.2

Repeated offender caught for vandalism on the Cloud article. Would you block him again? His act can be found under the history of Cloud as of May the 8th. Also, User:204.220.139.2 has vandalized Cloud twice on the 28th of April. 15:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proxies

How are you testing for open proxies? I have a perl script that I put together using HTTP::CheckProxy, but you blocked one IP as an open proxy that my script said was innocent. I suspect that you were right and my script was wrong as it was one of the IPs used by the Sildenafil spambot. Any advice on improving my detection methods appreciated. --GraemeL ^(talk) 17:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, at the sitewide spam blacklist, I requested addition of the web address that has been repeatedly spammed to sildenafil. It might be easiest to wait until it gets added to test unprotection of the article again. --Ed (Edgar181) 19:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Alexander (cartoonist)

If you've closed the deletion review of Patrick Alexander (cartoonist), would you mind unprotecting it? I'd do it myself, but I'm an interested party. Ta. Steve block talk 22:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I did not realise that it was protected. The article has now been fully restored and open to the general public. Best regards, Hall Monitor 22:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet as! Ta, no harm done, I just thought it was more prudent to check you didn't have a reason for leaving it protected. Have a good one. Steve block talk 22:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Willnz0 - is using sharedip blocked for long term

Not sure how you want to handle this one, apparently good editor is trying to edit from 210.55.230.122 which you've blocked for repeat repeat vandalism, I'm a little concerned about keeping a good editor from editing, I'll ask them to see if they can edit from a non blocked ip, there is another user stuck at the IP who is unblocking / blocking as he needs to edit but it obviously isn't a possibility for a non sysop user. -- Tawker 06:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for contacting me, I have unblocked this IP address for the time being. Best regards, Hall Monitor 18:31, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

Why am I blocked? (IP address: 62.171.194.41.) I haven't vandalised any pages, so please explain why I cannot edit. Thank you.

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Shang Dynasty at 21:39, 31 March 2006. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Dragonbones 04:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Hello Hall Monitor, how are you? Thanks for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (88/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you require assistance, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an administrator. Once again thank you and with kind regards Gryffindor 18:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RFA Thanks

Your block of 169.244.143.115

I recently tried to edit while in school today, when I found that it was blocked. This was somewhat normal - I assumed the next day it would be back, but no. You blocked it indefinatly, citing that "This address is blocked per request of the service provider". It'd be great to see some documentation for this claim, and it'd be even better if the ban could be lifted. Thank you. --Tony^St 19:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~I'm adding my own comments at Gator's talk page. Phoenix-forgotten 17:32, 6 April 2006 (UTC)~~ Gator1 deleted his talk page due to harrassment trouble with a blocked vandal(a different IP from this), so I'll just leave a message here.[reply]

I'm also curious as to what you meant by "blocked per request of the service provider." I had my school's sysadmin contact you as your original blocking message requested in January; is that when you got the request? I sort of hoped something more productive would have come of that, like him forwarding you to someone who had the power to enable X-Forwarded-For on MSLN's computers. Did you learn anything from talking to him? Phoenix-forgotten 00:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Hall Monitor! Thank you for your support in my recent successful request for adminship. If you ever have problems that you could use my assistance with or see me doing stupid things with my new buttons, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 02:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As the admin who lifted this block, I thought I should bring to your attention this 3RR complaint. Bucketsofg 02:40, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your block of 83.100.212.100

I noticed recently that you have put a 4 month block on 83.100.212.100. As you may have guessed, that IP address is the external address of a local education authority's proxy. The authority network probably serves 25-30,000 users (I don't know the exact numbers). Each school has a proxy server with an outward-facing address within 10.x.x.x which connects to the central proxy server with the outward-facing address above. (This situation seems to be described in X-Forwarded-For/RFC 1918)

I am an admin on one of the school networks and am in contact with the central admins, so please get in touch if there's anything productive I can do to alleviate the situation.CSS-Prince 19:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User Acumen76

I see you unblocked this user.

A couple of days ago he changed a date on the opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi. The date was March 11 and he changed it to was March 4. At first I thought it was bona fide and I was wondering where it came from. I checked all my sources and couldn't find any discrepancy. I asked him and he claimed to have got it from the May 4 article, but according to the history he added the information himself on 4 February.

When I looked further at the May 4 article, I found he had made a vast number of edits - all to that same page. I don't understand what is going on here, but if this user is a vandal, many of his changes will go probably go unnoticed and uncorrected.

I believe you are familiar with this case. What do you think can be done to prevent the wrong information being added to articles? - Kleinzach 21:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saved by the Bell not "saved" from vandals

I'm not the world's biggest expert on Saved_by_the_Bell_Minor_Characters, but it appears this page has been vandalized because I highly doubt that a Saturday morning sitcom featured bukkake and double penetration. I suggest you might want to look into it or get the page reverted. It may even warrant a frequent attack tag or protection if it recurs, because I suspect the vandalism occured due to hardcore Adult Swim fans taking vehement exception to the show taking up part of the animation block.

Colateral damage unblock

I unblocked 209.165.134.49 per a request on the mailing list from User:Knowmore. Just letting you know. JesseW, the juggling janitor 22:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Weird...

The last 6 pages you edited spell "Goodbye People I Will Miss You" in your contributions page. That kind of freaks me out. What's the meaning of doing that?

Yeah, no kidding. Get back here this instance, young man! Well, I do hope you decide to return soon, with this name or another. Good luck on your Wikibreak. See you soon. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 02:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The edit summaries were creative, but we'd go for boring any day if it meant you were not leaving. -- Nataly a 20:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever it is, good luck and all the best, whenever you are. Of course, you will be sorely missed too! - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 19:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And we'll miss you too. Come back sometime, when it suits you. Take care, Snoutwood (talk) 07:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Goodbye Hall Monitor, come back soon. Prodego ^talk 01:54, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you had to leave... I hope everything is OK and we'll see you back here one day. If you could let us know if you're OK (and if not, if there's anything we can do to help), please do. As you can see, people are worried here. Cheers — E starriol ^talk 11:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving?

I'm sorry you've left. I don't know if you'll ever get this message, because it looks like your last edit was a month ago. I want to wish you good luck, and happy trails.--The i kiroid (talk)^{(Help Me Improve)} 14:20, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian English userbox

I have notcied that you have put 'eh' at the end of the sentence in the userbox (it's not a question) I thought that 'eh' forms a question, so it does have a purpose there, eh? Myrtone@Hall Monitor.com.au

PS I have just revised some UK/US centric notations in this article as they are never going to make everyone happy, and, in Canada and Australia, they are going to please, well, no one at all, eh? Myrtone@Hall Monitor.com.au

The golden age of hip hop for deletion?

Lethbridge Collegiate Institute Block

Hello hall monitor, i am a student at Lethbridge Collegiate Institute and i have been trying to use wikipedia at school but my attempts have failed becaue of an indefinant ban of the school's IP address. This is a school of 1600 kids and they are all unable to use wikipedia. It has been like this and I havn't been able to edit for months. With all due regards it would be much appreciated if you lifted the ban, i'm sure the prosecuter has completely forgotten about the banning considering he hasn't been able to edit for such a long time. Thanks a bunch. Max.pwnage 19:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
