I would like you be part of our SWTTF Anti-Vandalism Unit specifically. You seem very experienced in vandalsim fighting, and you may be a good choice to head out our Unit.
After thinking a while about it, I'm not sure if I'm the appropriate person. I fight vandalism to all topics rather than one I have no special knowledge about. I think a membership couldn't change that much. If you think I'm nevertheless the right person, let me know. --Oxymoron8321:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if you don't want to head out the Unit that's fine. But, if you'd still like to join as a normal member of the Unit, that would be good too. Thanks, Psdubow15:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The person using 74.46.211.176 seems to be making small, but inaccurate changes on the Transformers pages at random. Maybe it's a sabotage bot or just a prankster. I don't know how to report them. Can you help? Mathewignash14:20, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Mathewignash, thanks for watching him. Surely that's no bot, only a common vandal. As far as I can judge not all edits are vandalism, but I'm not an expert within this topic. The ip belongs to Frontier Communications of America. As that ip is static this makes it easier to watch him. First he has to be increasingly warned. Warning templates can be found here. If he continues vandalizing after the level 4 warning and is active at that moment you can report to WP:AIV; an appropriate template can be found there. Adding static ip to the reason would be helpful. Additionally you can read Wikipedia:Vandalism if you haven't already done so. Regards --Oxymoron8322:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, Thank you for the barnstar, it means a whole lot coming from you as you are one of the editors i see doing the most anti-vandal work. Tiptoety23:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Or just revert it back yourself - it's a wiki. I see it several times a day that users revert to a prior vandalized version. Due to the unfavourable vandalism/RC patroller ratio here this happens sometimes. Moreover I wont revert an edit I don't understand. --Oxymoron8302:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's true, I've got a mystery illness and I'm eventually going to die. I am in such pain you wouldn't believe. Don't ever take your lives for granted. What I wrote was NOT nonsense. Svengali12303:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry for you, but creating wikipedia articles to promote yourself is against our policy and although you are so ill we can't make an exception. Please read WP:NOT. Get well soon. --Oxymoron8304:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please take a look at the edit history. Some idiot kid went on a vandalism spree and I am trying to undo it by reverting his edits. Thanks. 71.102.80.3907:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Um...you just warned me about the vandalism to the El Camino article. I am not responsible for the vandalism. I have contributed to that article in the past and I would appreciate it if you would kindly strike yourwarnings from my IP talk page. 71.102.80.3907:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Let's try this again: I am NOT responsible for those edits!!! Look at the other IP, for heaven's sake!!! I was attempting to undo the vandalism one entry at a time and the damned system credited ME with vandalizing the site! 71.102.80.3907:12, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I used to edit Wikipedia on a constant basis with more than 20,000 edits and six features to my credit. I quit back in January. I'd thought of returning if only on a limited basis, but to heck with it. The last time I tried doing any "vandal-slaying" on an anonymous basis, this same idiocy happened. If anything, you were misinterpreting my attempts to undo the damage as the original vandalism. If that isn't a flaw in the system, I don't know what is. This site stopped being fun precisely for reasons like this. No need to respond, but take it from someone who's been in the trenches fighting for the sanctity of this site: When a misunderstanding happens, don't compound the problem by (a) insulting someone's intelligence regarding the use of the welcome page and sandbox and (b) take a moment to verify what a user such as myself tells you regarding misunderstood edits. It'll save you a lot of antacid, believe me. 71.102.80.3907:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and for the record, I'm logging on for the first time since January to let you know that I am who I say I am. I hope this will dispel any further suspicions on your part. - Lucky 6.907:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I nevertheless think that you haven't been careful enough when making these edits, especially as you are such an experienced user. 1) If you click on the undo button you get a diff where you can preview your edit and abstain from clicking the save button and 2) if you had taken a closer look at the history you would have seen that this vandalism edit had been undone before. --Oxymoron8307:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed while patrolling the "Recent Changes" that you were reverting vandalism by User:68.88.198.143, but you broke the WP:3RR policy. This policy applies even to vandalism. You should read the policy, if you haven't already, and make sure that you follow it in the future. The only reason I bring this up is that User:68.88.198.143 was blocked because of this edit war. Thank You, Connör(talk)21:21, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That exception only applies to very obvious vandalism like page blanking. Also, I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just trying to remind you of WP:3RR. Connör(talk)21:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'm not really sure if thats big enough to be an exception to 3RR, but I guess if you only reverted it 4 times then that's ok, and I'm not trying to argue so I will not reply here again. Connör(talk)23:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually one more thing, I didn't realize that that was an admin who said it was exempt from 3RR. So I'll take Moreschi's word for it. Connör(talk)23:20, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This question haunted me as long as I am here. There are opposed opinions. WP:USER#Removal_of_warnings says it is allowed to remove warnings, but there are arguments to prefer the opposite. Sorry, recapitulatory I really don't know. Regards --Oxymoron8316:48, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I note that you only gave Dave Wong a weak keep per WP:BIO. I had found this article in poor shape and did what I could to wikify it; most news coverage of this singer is in Chinese, which I can't read. (yet!) I think WP:MUSIC applies to singers rather than the general WP:BIO, and I think he's clearly met that by selling half a million of one album. Is there more that could be done to establish the notability of this singer at a glance? I might try using Google language tools to translate his extensive discography from the Chinese Wiki page, which seems to have worked for Phil Chang. - Fayenatic(talk)21:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did some minor tweaking, tenses, wording, etc. Also reduced the size of the map image to 250px, so it doesn't overwhelm the page so much. Feel free to revert if you don't like any of the changes.

Would you be willing to deal with a copyright issue? It has already been explained to the editor in question, as have the obvious WP:COI issues, but the editor seems unwilling to respect Wikipedia policy and guidelines, and has repeated the violation on their userpage: User:Eriko E. Gale has placed verbatim liner notes from her father's CD, with no evidence of permission: States at the bottom of the page: "(As appeared on the inside sleeve (a.k.a C.D. liner) of Eric Gale's album "Ginseng Woman & Multiplication", courtesy of Columbia Jazz Contemporary Masters, re-released in 1991 (released originally in 1977 by Sony Music)" I think perhaps a word from an another editor may assist this user in understanding that the editors she's been in contact with are indeed, citing proper policy and guideline, and especially with regards to copyright, these things are taken quite seriously. Ariel♥Gold01:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
LOL Ohhhh, okay well I asked Moonriddengirl to peek at it, as well, so she may be able to help. I think that this editor feels that there are only two editors who are 'ganging up on her' and doesn't fully understand they are protecting the integrity of Wikipedia by following copyright and other policies. We'll see what happens I guess, heheeh thanks! Ariel♥Gold01:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I received a "please refrain from test edits/vandalism" message from you, regarding the Blue Valley Northwest High School entry.
I personally did not make such an entry. But, I do have a child who is a student at Blue Valley Northwest. She or one of her friends may have made the entry from my network.
Can you provide any additional information, such as what was written? I would like to discuss this with her and make her understand that being 'annonymous' is not license to do stupid things.
Hi Oxymoron83. I noticed that you tagged Pablo García (Football player) for speedy deletion on the basis that it is a copyright violation. However, the page which you said it is a copyvio of is Pablo García, another Wikipedia article! If you are using some software to find copyvio articles, I suggest a little tweak to prevent it occuring again :) I have turned the article into a redirect anyway. Regards, пﮟოьεԻ5719:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pablo García (Football player) needs deletion in any case as there's a GFDL incompatible attribution of the authors. Also a non deletion can become problematic in the future when more changes to these articles are made and it's difficult to look through which part was written by whom (e.g. another user reverts back to the first version on Pablo García (Football player), such cases occur several times a day).
For the other part, I'm not sure if Pablo García should be moved at all. The other person that User:Evis Daison Marrero wrote about at this page is probably not notable. And if he's notable, I think the footballer should stay under this title (essential higher publicity) with a {{otheruses4}}-tag. But that is secondary.--Oxymoron8320:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay okay, relax Mr. Oxymoron. Take it easy man... I mean moron! Just kidding, relax. I'm sorry for the vandalizing edits. I won't post anymore disruptive comments.

AFUSCO would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact AFUSCO to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Oxymoron83 (2nd nomination). If you accept the nomination, you must formally state and sign your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.
Thanks AFUSCO for your trust, but as I've indicated at my last nomination (that was no more than three weeks ago), I need at least another month to gain more experience. I still don't feel ready for adminship and I'm busy in RL the next week, so I couldn't reply swiftly to any optional question. Also I would like to be asked before a new RfA subpage is created, as it is a bit awkward for me. Nevertheless thanks again for your trust. --Oxymoron8318:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He works faster on de? That doesn't seem possible. But I guess there is a lot more vandal fighting to do here as it has got more articles than any other wikipedia. More articles = More Vandals :D AngelOfSadness talk 17:54, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
He's equally fast on de. On de the vandals are blocked earlier (after 1 or 2 warnings), however for 2-7 hours only. This and the lesser number of articles/vandals reduces the number of vandalism edits. And on de I think there is a more favorable vandal fighter to vandalism edits ratio, so that normally all vandalism edits are reverted within seconds. That's why you have to be fast there, otherwise you have no chance to revert an edit. --Oxymoron8318:11, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see. No wonder you decided to vandal fight on en and I am very glad that you made that decision. En has a lot of vandalism edits, a few go undetected for months at a time. AngelOfSadness talk 18:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There's somewhere a user subpage where some of the vandalism edits that remained the longest time in articles are listed, I wasn't able to find it now; maybe you know which page I mean. --Oxymoron8318:37, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oddly enough I have never heard about this list until now. It sounds really interesting though. Maybe the page you are trying to find has been vandalised itself because of a vicious page move or redirect and no one has noticed it yet :D AngelOfSadness talk 18:49, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem regarding the revert of page blanking. As I'm not familiar with this topic I can't decide which information is correct. But I strongly suggest going to WP:RFC or WP:RFM if you haven't already done so as this conflict seems to be present since ages, a couple of editors are involved and no agreement could be reached on several editor's talk pages and the article's talk page. This article is on the brink of a page protection in the wrong version. --Oxymoron8309:34, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've been here since May of this year, you have 31012 edits, you obviously know your way around with the vandal whacking stick, are you ready for the vandal flame thrower, and ban hammer as well? (Instead of me blocking the vandals you list at AIAV, you can do it yourself.) You correctly revert and warn users, and correctly identify articles that should be speedy deleted and you tag them appropriately. Sadly I'm having trouble finding articles that you contributed to in terms of content/context/general improvment/expansion et al. Still I think you'd do just fine on a RfA, and most importantly I really believe it would be an enormous benefit to the encyclopedia. What do you say?

BTW: Does VP warn automatically as I often see inappropriate warnings given with VP (not from you but generally; e.g. a level2 warning 2 minutes after a level3 warning, or 3 level2 warnings in a row within some minutes)? I'm authorized for VP but never got it to work.--Oxymoron8316:05, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's the tricky thing with VP. You can choose your warning level upon your revert, but the problem is that you don't see the user's talk page until after you warned them. It does look silly sometimes to see a level 2 after a 3. I know I've done it. There is a section within VP that shows if the user has received any previous warnings, but it's not always accurate. What tool do you use to revert? Twinkle? Jauerback16:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hehe, I can't judge if TW or VP is better as only TW is working for me, but the thing with the warnings with VP sounds rather prejudicially. --Oxymoron8316:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I admit, I stole your monobook source code and I am now using. Don't bother with VP. Once I get the hang of this Twinkle thing, I don't see myself going back to VP. Jauerback18:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On the talk page of the user who is warned, under the headline (where normally 'From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia' is written) there you get a notification why a user isn't warned ('Keine IP' means that only IPs are warned and 'Warnung kurz zuvor' means that the user received another warning in the last minuted, to avoid multiple warnings for the same edit - make sure your PC time is adjusted correctly). And the third possible comment is in English now - you have to report with the AIV tab at the top.--Oxymoron8319:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This code is sweet. I take back my apology for screwing up your talk page with VP. I never would have found this otherwise. Jauerback19:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
ok ok i said i was sorry calm down it was just a joke. i wont do it again. WHATS THE NAME ALL ABOUT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.5.87.247 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 19 Oct 2007
In recognition of you're fine, consistent anti-vandalism efforts, I present you with the RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar. Happy editing and keep up the great work! Lradrama19:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For outstanding contributions in the area of anti-vandalism, I present Oxymoron83 with The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar. Good on you! Ling.Nut14:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You deserve it! PS, just a thought, you have over 100 sections on your talk page.. it might be about time to archive some of this, moving your barnstars either to your talkpage or to a subpgae made specifically for barnstars... ;-) --Ling.Nut14:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your note, it is planned to archive my talk page at the end of the month (at the end of last month it was too short to archive imho). I have already a subpage with Barnstars (from the first archive) here ;)--Oxymoron8314:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The last edit by this ip was more than a month ago, there is no reason to block it now. Blocks are used only to avert further damage from the project, not to punish. Additionally I'm no admin and therefore can't block anybody. --Oxymoron8316:22, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reverting that weird CNN copy/paste dump onto my user page. That was one of the more unusual vandalisms done to my user page. =\ I don't quite understand the point of it, but then perhaps I am not supposed to. -- Gogo Dodo 17:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
No problem; i don't understand it, too. --Oxymoron8317:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, there's already an article on him. The original "First article" content you searched for is at Wikipedia:Your first article (non capitalized f), that's why I've moved the new article to Levatt's user namespace, so he is able to include the information in the pre-existing article. --Oxymoron8319:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You really earned this. Thanks a lot for protecting my user page, and thanks for your great anti-vandalism work in general. Lupin reports "Already Reverted by Oxymoron83" very frequently, which is all the more a reason to give you this award. --Excirial (Talk,Contribs)17:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As i said, you really earned it :). And the more conflicts the better; After all, that way its certain that all of these idiot editing attempts are removed --Excirial (Talk,Contribs)17:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please AGF. Im not so sure that this was vandalism, but rather a new editor. Albeit, it was original research, but I don't think vandalism. In any event, thanks for all your counter-vandalism work in general. -ReuvenkTC16:54, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(Butting in here, sorry) If you check the notice Oxymoron placed on the editor's page, it was a test edit notice, so no mention of vandalism was given. Additionally, the revert doesn't mention vandalism, so I think it was a good revert edit summary, and an explanatory notice, although yes, the third parameter of additional information can be used to link to WP:OR in cases like this (or WP:NPOV), but I don't think that anything Oxymoron did was not assuming good faith. A level 1 template, no assumption of vandalism, and an assumption of simply a "test" edit are all quite appropriate responses to that kind of edit, out of four possibilities (vandalism, POV edit, test edit, or OR). Ariel♥Gold17:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Ariel, are you a mind reader? ;) I didn't label that edit as vandalism, because it was none. I think I assume enough good faith and the level 1 test edit warning was appropriate in this case, although a reference to WP:OR would not have been amiss, that's right. --Oxymoron8310:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wie langweilig – immer zum Monatsende zu archivieren. Sei innovativ! Bei mir ist's nach ca. 80 bis 90 Einträgen. ;) Ergo wird's bei mir auch wieder Zeit. Grüße, —DerHexer(Talk)20:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Things are getting a bit hot over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Agriculture There is an individual, User:WAS 4.250, who started quite a discussion over there, and is now threatening me and claiming that my addition of a link to Wikipedia:Don't feed the trolls was a personal attack. Judging by the talk page of this individual, as well as their edits to this discussion page, there is a need for a babysitter for a bit. I see you checked FisherQueen's talk page so you are online. This fellow is really quite threatening and I feel very intimidated by his attitude. Montanabw(talk)18:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Since you posted the same message to ANI, I think you primarily search for an admin? As the discussion is already in progress there, it should be continued there. Regards --Oxymoron8319:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But a little angel came along and fixed it! 
Thank you! — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 19:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
