Personal Attacks?
What constitutes a personal attack? The use of the following words in a sentence: Fuck, shit, poop, sunnuvabitch, cunt, snatch, pussy, motherfucker, hell, balls, dick, penis?
I don't get it. Telling somebody to "go to hell" is not a personal attack, rather -- driving instructions? Uh.. just kiddin'. Really, have a more liberal less bureaucratic attitude towards the usage of these words, not only is it free speech, but using these words, these expressions, constitutes freedom of expression. Freedom to express my anger and outrage through creative usages of words.
If anger does not exist on wikipedia and this is essentially a thousand subhuman stupid monkeys at keyboards, well, is wikipedia something that I or anybody else would want to be a part of?
This is a valid question, I feel that the admins need to discuss amongst themselves and their colleagues. Anger does exist, it is a valid human emotion, do not try to rubber stamp it and consider it a rejected application form. People get angry, allow them to express their anger creatively, not force them to submit to bottling it up.

- You called Steel359 an "IDIOT!!!" [1] That by itself is a personal attack, and telling him to "GO TO HELL!!!" is in violation of WP:CIVIL. No discussion required. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 00:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Idiot is a word derived from the Greek ιδιωτης, idiōtēs ("layman," "person lacking professional skill," "a private citizen," "individual"), from ιδιος, idios ("private," "one's own"). I would say that he lacked "professional skill", wouldn't you?--Mofomojo 06:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's just splitting hairs. HalfShadow 00:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Telling him to go to hell is basically telling him to die and be in everlasting torture. You dont want that, do you? I dont think people on Wikipedia go to hell for doing whats right. [[User:Nwwaew|Nwwaew]] 10:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The Johnny Haynes entry on October 18
Looks like a valid entry to me, he just messed up the formatting. I cleaned it up. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 22:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. What actually tripped my trigger was "greatest ever player". -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that would have tripped me too...but it was a blue-link, so I checked it out. (Of course, blue-link doesn't always mean it's valid; kids sometimes enter themselves when they have a name that matches someone who has a Wikipedia bio. But entries like that typically show up under "Births" in the early 1990's (i.e. teenagers); it's a bit more unusual -- but not unheard of -- for a fake entry to show up under Deaths. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 22:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I'll try to be more careful next time. I'm usually a little more thorough than that. Thanks for pointing it out. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- No harm, no foul. I don't think it's possible to fix hundreds of entries and not miss a call from time to time. I'm shocked that nobody has called me on my mistakes so far! (Two I remember offhand: Someone changed an entry for a Vietnamese name to the correct format with weird letters...I reverted it because it looked like a kid playing around (then realized my mistake a while later and fixed it). And a kid was playing around in 1992 and entered Barry Bonds birthday there...he got me so confused that I started to help him format it, for some reason thinking I was in the 1964 article.

Well, Cronbot would have raised a lot less fuss but then it does force someone to be a monkey and bit block a lot.

Ok, 3, then there's the group that thinks Jimbo should just override community consensus and bypass RfA.

I agree that it is difficult for an outsider to distinguish an edit war from vandalism, in particular because part of the argument took place on the German page. Regardless of the fact that informed people would not object to the claim that ebs was Germany's first private business school (as stated on the school's website and elsewhere), his posts (grammar, spelling, wording etc.) show he is extremely careless and aggressive. He reverts carefully edited text passges and inserts blunt statements with typos. He refuses to explain his position and only reacts to edits. His reasoning is erratic. Once you show him clearly that his argumentation is flawed, he simply comes up with a new way of rationalizing.
Example:
... long history of annoying edits in the German version ...
He suggest ebs is no research university by pointing out that it is not member of an important academic association. Obviously, he studies at some competing institution. I add some context by mentioning the most reputable national research ranking where the school is listed among the "strongest". Currently, it hosts the annual meeting of the German Finance Association. He asks for a source. I provide the source. (wrong, che does not say leading)
I change "leading" to "strongest" to match the ranking document. He ignores the change and simply reverts. (revert, che does not say leading)
I revert. (Revert vandalism. I deliberately chose the word "strongest" used in the CHE source cited. The anonymous user is not interested in content and does not even read my edits.)
He reverts. (please stop your vandalism with random without context quotes from other sources, this is a advertisement platform) He probably means "not an advertising platform". Very funny, because his initial post was clearly out of context. My only reason to add the ranking was exactly to provide this context. I would never have added the reference if it hadn't been for his completely random membership statement.
Another user reverts. He makes a minor edit with a smartass comment to disguise his third revert. Note that he keeps reverting to a version with an obvious typo. (there is NO research assistant doctorete or a senior doctorate)
I am trying to be as friendly as possible, adding several requests for clarification on various user pages. No response. (Partial revert (close to vandalism). I do not care about advertising. It was YOU who started the DFG argument. You only keep facts that advance your own agenda. Tell the whole story or simply stop.) I admit an accurate translation would probably be "first state-accredited institution of higher learning" (http://www.ebs.de/index.php?id=1&L=1), which in fact sounds even more impressive. The current version is probably the result of edit wars he had with other users who eventually gave up. Standalone business schools cannot legally call themselves "Universitäten" in Germany. In English "University" is perfectly acceptable and commonly used by dozens of other vocational schools with virtually no academic standing. In this case, "university" is even part of the school's official name which was approved by the government (see logo in the upper right corner). He keeps deleting similar passages in the German version.
It is clearly not about accuracy, wording or even facts. He just hates on the school. (revert, wrong facts (ebs is not the oldest private institution in germany), ranking is of no interest and citated out of context)
Would it be possible to simply prevent editing by IP accounts? I assume the suspected vandal would not dare to reveal his motivation or any details about his background. Thanks for your consideration. -- 84.168.120.192 02:18, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Omicronpersei8,
We have noticed recent changes in Wikipedia’s Conquistador page and wanted to amicably resolve this conflict. The U.S. Trademark for Conquistador for use in a live performance, recorded music or music downloadable from a global network is owned by the group the Los Angeles group Conquistador, led by Alex Antebi. You removed link to two websites, which do not sell products of any kind. They are both purely informational sites with background on the artist. A reference to Wikipedia has even been made in order to redirect traffic. Wikipedia is a valuable service provider. In no way have we meant to offend or go against the rules or regulations of Wikipedia. In fact, we value the service that Wikipedia provides. Considering that there is no product being sold or promoted on either site and since this submission is in consideration of the rules and regulations of Wikipedia, we kindly request permission to have both links posted. We thank you for your attention and consideration in this matter.
Thank you,

On assuming bad faith
This request was formulated 5 times by that user that you had him blocked. In this 5 comments, he was only following your suggestion you left him on his talk page along with the final warning. Blanking edits when someone is trying to communicate with you is obnoxious. No matter what that user did, he stopped vandalizing after the final warning and tried to contact you. Your choice to remove his edits and have him blocked is only assuming bad faith which it seems, as your case proves it, only normal users should avoid. 213.85.88.70 11:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- On the other hand, some people come to Wikipedia only to troll. This goes beyond the realm of assuming bad faith; it is clear, deliberate bad faith, and trolls should not be encouraged or humored. (That was over-the-top on preachiness, sorry. Still, I don't think anything good would have come of letting him troll freely on my talk page, considering there was nothing to discuss, just because a template invited him to (WP:LAWYER?).) -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 13:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Reverted Barry Bonds Edit
I put a notation next to Barry Bonds' stat of 734HR, and it was reverted. The Link stated clearly that Bonds admitted to taking steroids "unknowingly" and could have affected his home run total. I think readers of his article should be notified. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatClemenza (talk • contribs) 19:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- The way to do it is not by stealthly inserting it next to his homerun count, or, like User:Playaofthegame34, deliberately cut the number down by 1/7th while inserting the link. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, but I didn't cut the statistic number down, I put the notation in and it wasn't stealthy. It was a clear notation that cited a source which implied that he took drugs that could have affected his numbers. I think it should stay. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatClemenza (talk • contribs) 20:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Was this also meant to be a subtle implication? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 20:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- You do appear to have good edits in your contributions list, so thank you for those. But if you want to claim that a baseball player took steroids, it would be best done by adding it to a relevant area of discussion. By this I mean possibly adding a neutral, good-natured paragraph that discusses the allegations, and which makes a point not to insinuate that steroids are responsible for the player in question's performance overall. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 20:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
As far as the Bonds page, putting a link in is the same as Major Legaue Baseball has discussed doing with an asterisk. It's basically the same as putting in a small referral to call the numbers into question. The Giambi page was entirely truthful, being as he fully admitted to using steroids and all of his numbers should be eliminated or noted as ingenuine. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatClemenza (talk • contribs) 20:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
"By this I mean possibly adding a neutral, good-natured paragraph that discusses the allegations" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Giambi#BALCO_Scandal, apparently, there already is one, but most people aren't going to read the entire article down to that page and would be much more likely to see and click on a notation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatClemenza (talk • contribs) 20:41, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Why wouldn't they read it? Sounds to me like it would be a popular section. Still, that doesn't excuse adding what amounts to an off-topic and non-neutral link next to his stats. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 20:44, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't believe my notations were either off-topic nor non-neutral. Argue the neutrality of the links. I didn't write them, they were published in fact. All his numbers could be affected by his use of drugs and it is relevant to each statistic listed in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatClemenza (talk • contribs) 20:51, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
In addition, the "Balco Scandal" section of Giambi's article makes mention to the affair but makes no reference to the fact that "Performance Enhancing Drugs" may have enhanced his performance. Adding a notation next to all of his numbers as I did was completely acceptable, truthful, and neutral. I would appreciate a reply from you so we can come to an understanding before you completely eliminate my right to free speech on wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatClemenza (talk • contribs) 21:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- So add your link to it in that section. If you put it next to his numbers it looks like you're asserting that he's a cheater. I don't really see why we're still arguing this; if you had put the link in the appropriate location in the first place, I wouldn't have reverted it. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
If taking steroids doesn't classify you as a cheater, what does? He is a cheater by baseball standards and the links were next to his numbers which is the appropriate location.FatClemenza 21:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Just admit you've been dominated.FatClemenza 21:53, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your vandalism of my comments here, if you really wanted to "annihilate" my argument, you could start by arguing something based on policy rather than claiming that I'm suppressing your freedom of speech. Here are good policies to start with: WP:RS, WP:NPOV, and most importantly, WP:BLP. I also find it interesting that this is a game to you. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the three policies you sent me:
-Reliable sources: It is a clear fact that Giambi admitted to using steroids, that's not even disputable. It's in the wikipedia article itself that he admitted it.
-Neutral point of view: See above. There was nothing biased about my addition, as performance enhancing drugs are often treated by baseball the same way, with a notation to signify the ingenuity of his statistics.
-Biographies of Living Persons: See both of the above.
Look, I have made my point clear and there is no question that these should stay. You took away information and without it, it appears to a reader that the numbers Jason Giambi put out were genuine and permissable. With a statement from Giambi himself that he used performance enhancing drugs, it seems irrefutable that his numbers were at the absolute least, subject to fabricated enhancement and should be noted as questionable.FatClemenza 22:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- You're still ignoring the reason why it was reverted in the first place: the placement. I've even invited you to put the link back in. The reason it was reverted was because of the placement; it shouldn't go next to his stats count, because it's POV and to say it's the reason he's as good or bad as he is is speculation, which is not allowed. WP:BLP is a strongly enforced policy here; if you have any problems with that policy, you should take it to Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons. I'm not barring you from including that link in the article, just do it properly. Whether or not he's a "cheater", putting that link next to the statistics area is not helpful in defining the veracity of his stats and makes an obvious implication to the reader. And before you argue against that last sentence, no, it doesn't establish the truthfulness of his stats. We're looking for links that justify numbers, not argue against them (and that link doesn't really even do that). -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:11, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
You said: "to say it's the reason he's as good or bad as he is is speculation, which is not allowed." Allow me to restate the last point I made: "it seems irrefutable that his numbers were at the absolute least, subject to fabricated enhancement and should be noted as questionable."
His numbers should be, at the very least, subjected to question of their authenticity. If you want only links that establish "truthfullness" and not argue against it, that's restricting information to one side of an argument. Whether or not it is damaging to Giambi and his BLP or whatever the hell your policies are, it happened and should be noted next to each of his numbers. Posting the link without further explanation is simply making refernece to the event, not it's possible effects on his career and Major League Baseball. I'm essentially stating the same points here because you have failed to answer any of them successfully. I'm done making my point. Good luck making wikipedia a bad place. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatClemenza (talk • contribs) 22:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Heh, no. Sorry. You know better than that. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- And sorry if I somehow missed your points. Here's mine: it's speculation to directly link his scores to his steroid use, and irresponsible to the reader to imply as such. If this was acceptable, it would already be in the article. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:27, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

- Hi, and thank you for that. I'd be happy to give some reasons; can you give me a little while first, though? I'm on RC patrol at the moment but I'd like to give you a well-thought out answer on your talk page a little later. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Of course, please take your time; no rush whatsoever. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to answer the question in the first place. Wikipediarules2221 21:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your greatly insightful and well-thought out response to my question. Your elucidation of the pros and cons of each Vandal fighting program is deeply appreciated. I have no experience with Linux so I think I will be sticking with VandalProof until a more Windows friendly version of Vandal Snipe is made available. Once again, thanks a lot for taking some time out (unfortunatley time away from fighting the good fight) to answer my question with such proficiency and care. Happy editing and continue your arduous efforts in counter-vandalism. Thanks and cheers! Wikipediarules2221 20:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Unfair Vandal Snipes
I feel I have gotten a lot of unfair Vandal Snipes. I cited my sources as well provided educational information and provided it in a classy way. I would just like to ask what exactly I was warned for and for what reason? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Playaofthegame34 (talk • contribs) 21:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Modifying User:Omicronpersei8's posts once to say he didn't have a strong argument and that you should continue editing and again to suggest that he likes being cruel to animals seems a pretty good reason for a warning to me. HalfShadow 22:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- This editor is just deliberately trolling. Don't mind him (until he starts it up again, at which point he will be blocked). -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, obviously. I still like rubbing their noses in it, though. Might be a slight character flaw on my part, but so few things please me nowadays... HalfShadow 22:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Dane Cook edit
What in the hell is wrong with you? You have your Dane Cook page that lists his birth place as Cambridge, MA on the right side, but lists it as Myrtle Beach, SC in the text. I edited it to make it right, and you reverted it you idiot. I'm right. You're wrong.
http://movies.msn.com/celebs/celeb.aspx?c=227126&stab=3
That lists him as being born in Cambridge, as does your own site except for the text. You need to put your personal issues with me aside and let me make edits that are right and not just revert them you moron. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatClemenza (talk • contribs) 23:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia's Policy on Vandalism: Say please stop, then pretty please stop, then pretty pretty please stop, and it goes on for a while until finally a ban is set down. If you want to gain any semblance of credibility for this site (right now you have none, a research paper, a jorunal, or anything that uses wikipedia as a source will be immediately discredited) ban perpetrators the first time. Yeah, I just wanted to mess around to test out the site, oh and the 4th time, it was fun too, I'm practicing for serious scholarly input. Fat chance. And I will not post on wikipedia again, but I could, since I'm not banned, depsite the record of my tenure here.

Just wanted to thank you for reverting vandalism to my talk page and user page (the latter I hadn't noticed, I just saw the revert notice). I'm a newpage patroller, and I had never met such a swift and persistent vandal, the amount of reverts he did manually in a matter of seconds is amazing; it took three admins to finally block him (although he's now protesting the block).

Thank you for your work on reverting of vandalism. It is, as I know myself, easy to get carried away when doing it. Please note that your edit summary here [7] might be construed as not being in the spirit of WP:BITE. Hornplease 08:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

- There also seems to be a sizable bit of vanity entries coming from India as well, although this is just a personal observation/opinion, so that probably also fueled the frustrated edit summary mentioned above.

Hi,
My history teacher gave us homework to make a minor but random and incorrect change to Wikipedia because my class has been trying to convince him to let us use this site, which he believes is inaccurate. We challenged him that all the edits go away within 5 minutes.

Billy Meier
Okay, I see how that works. I agree ENTIRELY that the adding of 'fraudulent' under Billy Meier is a violation of neutrality. Seeing as how there's no conclusive proof either way, the photos may be real and they may be fake. This makes me wonder, however, if the same is not true for Al Qaeda? Al Qaeda and September 11....no CONCLUSIVE proof either way. Not a single shred of evidence on either side that hasn't been subjected not only to debate, but to EXTENSIVE debate. So, in just the way that Billy Meier's article can not be stated either way, Al Qaeda should not be either. It seems to me that pointing the finger at Al Qaeda without conclusive proof violates neutrality because it expresses YOUR opinion (which is just as much a violation of neturality as my opinion is.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by All5Horizons (talk • contribs) 18:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

You removed my link from the chess page of this site. At one point my link was posted on this page and removed for the following reason...

Since then Red Hot Pawn and Schemingmind have added their links however they also show up in this review. If the Chess Maniac link is not allowed than these two links should also be removed.
Thanks for you help,

Michael Moore
My good friend Omicronpersei8,
Not everyone assumes that Michael Moore is anything more than a government schill whose movie "Farenheit 9/11" is meant to distract viewers from the truth about 9/11, which is that it was planned and carried out by the US government with controlled demolitions and remote controlled airplanes, and not 19 hijackers (something which Moore never mentions). Not everyone assumes that Michael Moore's true motive in making his film "Bowling For Columbine" was trying to raise attention to the problem of gun violence in America. No, some, indeed millions, of Americans, understand that Moore's films are precisely the type of films that a government which seeks to take away our guns and distract us from the most incriminating facts about 9/11 and the US government's involvement would put out to the mainstream public, in a way that would make many "dissidents" trust him, while making government supporters (who won't believe a word he says no matter what) enraged, effectively dividing the country, which is, once again, exactly what the US government wants. Divide and conquer. And distract with disinformation agents. Like Michael Moore.
WE'RE NOT ALL IDIOTS DUDE, SO GIVE US SOME CREDIT, AND LET THE REVISION STAND. THANK YOU. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.27.125.101 (talk • contribs) 23:16, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

calling Michael Moore all those other things without even mentioning the possibility that he is a government operative
Is a form of commentary and analysis as well. And no less so. The whole article is written from the dogmatic assumption that Michael Moore does not work as a propaganda agent of the US government and its interests. And therefore, the article's assumptive tone about Moore's civilian status, as it stands without my "commentary", is a biased commentary in and of itself. Perhaps you have the courage to admit that and let it stand, or perhaps you don't. I'm only trying to do what I feel is some much-needed and well-justified historical revisionism, which I feel is well within the spirit of Wikipedia's "neutrality" policy.

Help requested
Hi
I'm writing to you - and others - because you are one of several people who appears to have experienced the same thing as I have noticed and experienced.
Namely a pattern of vandalism by an anonymous user. The IP # is 66.229.10.64
See this user's talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:66.229.10.64
This user has been temporarily blocked several times. I notice that the pattern is the same.
The person doesn't seem to respond to polite community requests to engage in dialogue - or to desist from repeatedly making edits that several editors consider to be vandalism.
I am not that experienced in these matters but can there be an attempt made to block this user permanently? Or at least for a period of time so that the person gets a message about respecting the community. Thanks. Davidpatrick 03:20, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Movie Gallery / GameCrazy / Asylum
(I dont know the Proper Channels of Reporting Vandalism so applogies in advance)
I have been made a Unofficial Representative of the Game Crazy: Asylum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_Gallery
Information that has been officially verified continues to be deleted and replaced with nothing more than lies by people who have a Vendetta against the Site and would like nothing more than to infuriate current members
The Information that should be up and mantained should read out like this
In 2004, Game Crazy started the Asylum program for frequent costumers who have MVP accounts. The inclusion to Asylum is a company decision, and a customer can not request to join. The only requirements to be accepted into Asylum seems to be spending a certain amount of money at Game Crazy And Accumulating a certain ammount of points by purchasing High Ranked Games. However, the importance of Asylum is debatable- while the original intent of Asylum was both to offer online services and to distribute free bonus items to customers, it is currently an online Message board and Chatroom for members, and Exclusive Contest are held on a Semi-weekley Basis. No additional features of Asylum exist- it does not otherwise enhance membership in any way other than Bringing fellow Gamers Together. Asylum is hyped as being a "secretive" club, taking quotes from the movie Fight Club to push its image of being private- however, this seems to be little more than an advertising gimmick as Asylum is not in any way a secret to Game Crazy employees or most customers. In addition, an Asylum page link exists in plain sight on the Game Crazy homepage although a Password and I.D. Tag Number is required to get any farther into the Sister Site.
anything else is to be considered False

Celine Dion Sales
Hi, I am a big fan of Celine Dion and I have spent days trying to complete her albums and singles discography. Albums worldwide sales has always been a problem. Nobody knows it for sure. I want these numbers to be accurate. The numbers you're talking about (before these pages were put) were also by me. But they were to low. I didn't change them knowing that I will soon create a new albums discography page. I'm a freak about Celine's chart positions and sales for many years now and I have gathered many informations.
The last official info said she has sold 175 million till August 2004. It was official (Sony Music, IFPI, World Music Awards, Celine official website - they all said that). So after August 2004 Celine released only 2 more albums: Miracle and On Ne Change Pas. They sold together over 4 million copies for sure. And if we add Celine's early French recordings form the 80's which were not included in 175 million (and sold over 1 million at least), it will give us over 180 million.
Now, all those totals from before don't give us 180 million. The numbers I posted now, give that. There can be misteakes, but these are the best numbers that can be. So please don't change them....Thank you.-- Max24 12:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your edit to Gibraltar:
Your recent edit to Gibraltar (diff) was reverted by automated bot. You have been identified as using a shared IP address to edit a page that experiences frequent malicious edits by users that continue to edit via shared IP ranges. Since these ranges are too large (collateral damage) to be blocked and user's IP addresses are not visible, edits to this page by logged-out editors of shared IP ranges or new users are reverted. The changes can be reviewed and restored by established users. To avoid this in the future, you can start by making an account. // VoABot II 23:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- The bot seems to have stopped, though I turned it off as "limited IP range" should be an impossible revert reason for a user. Voice-of-All 23:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
It seemed to be suffering from some lag, which may have made it look like it stopped when it was still going; it reverted me four times, I think. Thanks for taking care of that! Thanks for running a very helpful bot, too (seriously – I know how these things can happen occasionally, no big deal). -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 23:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- OK, the bug that could sometimes cause users to count as shared IPs has been fixed and I added a new measue to all edit-type based reverts that should stop it from reverting established users such as yourself.Voice-of-All 00:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick attention to the vandalism on Karl's entry. Roaming27 00:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Matt Bryant
--- The recents additions to the "October 23rd" and "Matt Bryant" pages on my behalf are 100% legitimate. I understand why you might not want to include the addition to the "October 23rd" page considering the holiday is not a significant event, but the occurance marks a momentous point in Matt Bryant's Career.

- Okay, thank you for the link. I Google searched this before I started reverting you and got zero results, which is why I decided it was a hoax (the recent vandalism from your user account didn't help either). I'm still not sure how other editors will react to this addition, though. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 02:16, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't Let the Devil Get You, Son
Omicron,
What exactly do you mean to imply in calling my evangelistic postings "blank content?" There is nothing "blank" about the words and teachings of our Savior. What I posted was a full two-page response to the so-called "criticisms" of Christianity so deviantly showcased on Wikipedia. It included not only a clear, rational refutation of the "criticisms," but also an open invitation for all who have sinned in posting that article to turn from their perverse, depraved, deviant, swineish ways and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
Don't let the Devil get you, son. He's out on the prowl for men's souls. He wants nothing more than to see you flung headlong into the firey pits of hell. Won't you open your heart to Jesus? Won't you come and receive Him as your Savior?
Regards From,

Isaac Newton
I see the Cultural depictions of Isaac Newton article eventually becoming something like Cultural_depictions_of_Joan_of_Arc. Newton is easily a more prominent figure than Joan of Arc, so building up that article should (hopefully) be easier. Borisblue 05:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I'm the guy who took Compact Cassette through the Featured Article process. I've seen the terrible things that happen to the Featured Article of the Day (see my fifth rule) so I was actually kind of bummed when I heard it was going to be on the front page. Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for looking out for it, since I can't bear to watch. Kafziel Talk 02:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

vandalism-only account
Hi, I saw your recent vandalism reverts at circumcision and thought you might want to look at the entire account for possible blocking; it seems to be a VOA that has been in use sporadically for several months. Here's the user contribution page [15] Dasondas 03:12, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Since it's an IP (and thus we can't really label it as a vandalism-only account per se), the best we can do is watchlist the user's talk page and popular article destinations and give short blocks where applicable. Thanks for the report, though; I'll try to keep an eye on this user. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 04:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

question
Omicronpersei8,
I find no reason for you to have made this deletion. Neither did you provide a reason, suggesting not only ignorance of Wikipedia's reverting procedure, but also the possibility of a personal attack. Please respond by listing and linking to the exact URL (or URL and anchor) of the infraction you allege that I committed.

And you're far too humble. I saw the notice right after I offered the nomination. Offer stands firm if you ever change your mind. I sometimes wish that I didn't have the rollback button, but I'm far too fond of the site to see it get hammered by people who seem to think this is some sort of public chalkboard. BTW, I like that RC patrol mistakes template and the Barnstar page. I'd like to borrow those if you don't mind. - Lucky 6.9 07:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
You bet. I'll rearrange the "mistakes" template into one of my own after my break. Definitely gonna stay away over the weekend since I need to pull the starter on my son's Buick, replace some power steering components on a '69 Ford Ranchero that I just picked up for peanuts (and which I can sell at a really nice profit) and finish hooking up a bathroom sink and vanity. I was suffering from a bit of insomnia thinking of the "fun" I'm about to have, which is why I'm here in the first place. See you soon.

The reference desk... as a general rule
..People don't usually vandalize the RD, in fact, it almost never happens. So in the future, if you see an anon doing something odd to the RD archives, it's probably a valid change. Also, there's a pretty good chance it will be me, as I tend to do tedious maintenance work while logged out, in this case the edit you reverted was part of a change over to a new archive system, thus the redirect from the old Subpage, to the new one. No harm done, really more of a loose end, since the page wasn't in use anymore --VectorPotentialRD HAS A BOT !!! 22:32, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Okay. For the record, though: while I could have done more research on why that specific link was being added and thus might've discovered that it belonged there, I actually reverted it because it looked like an accident, appearing to have used a faulty
#REDIRECT
tag. I'm not exactly sure why#REDIRECT

RE:Elliot Tittensor...I wish someone would expand these kind of stubs.

Because the way the article is right now, it doesn't really tell you anything about its subject.
