User:Poluprovodnik

Okay by me. :) I highly doubt the guy was ever going to contribute anything worth keeping. GlassCobra 23:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Znznzn

I'm sorry to overrule you, but I'm absolutely outraged that someone should bring the picture of your son into this. This user has gone way, way, way beyond the point where any further contribution is even remotely possible and I can't accept the possibility that he will insult your family again; I've permanently blocked the account. You were far more forgiving than I'm prepared to be on your behalf. The only person who's going to change my mind on this topic is you; if you want something different to happen, let me know and I'll do it, but I'm so mad right now you could probably fry eggs on my head. Accounting4Taste 19:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks to you for getting independent admins to endorse the block. That's a useful and intelligent step that I probably should have done myself; well, now I know it's advisable I'll make sure that step is taken care of in the future. "Justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done." Egg-frying is now no longer possible, thanks to an appropriately-timed walk around the block. (I've been playing in a bridge tournament all weekend until the wee hours every night and am somewhat punchy, I think.) My only remaining concern is that this user will return under another sockpuppet name; I'll be keeping an eye open for that possibility and will consult you about my suspicions if and when it happens. My best to your wife and family! Accounting4Taste 20:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you take a moment to peruse my talk page, and particularly the last part of my exchange on Glass Cobra's talk page, you'll find out that in an amazing coincidence, something has happened that may just have ended our troubles with this user. So I guess I won't have to drag his mommy into it after all. Sure is a good thing that guy came home from Europe when he did!! ;-) Accounting4Taste 23:10, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man! How are WifeOfPedo and SonOfPedro? GlassCobra 16:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad at all, I've been blocking school IPs all day. American kids are really annoying, haha. I was really sorry to see about that thing with the picture of your son. I would have done the same thing in your shoes! GlassCobra 16:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really glad to hear that. Here's to you, buddy! GlassCobra 16:26, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am trying to create a wikipedia page for CP Morgan Company. I promise you, I am not associated with the company in any way. How can I edit my page so that it is not advertising? I do not want it to be advertising or come off as advertising! KB Homes, Shea Homes and Ryland Homes all have pages in wikipedia. Thanks so much Jdent15 16:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)joelle[reply]

Replied

I reply on my talk page, so it would be best if you check there for responses. — Save_Us_229 21:03, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Protection

Hey Pedro, I need protection on these pages: User:Lex94/Signature and User:PayneXKiller/Signature so me and my adoptee can have our signatures protected from any vandals. Lex⁹⁴ ^Talk ^{Contributions} ^{Guest Book} 23:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys, can you please read Wikipedia:Signatures#Transclusion of templates? Thanks. GlassCobra 23:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Formica

Pedro:

I would greatly appreciate it if you would reconsider this decision. I did not authorize this bio, and I am not 'notable'...although thanks for that. MJF —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.177.177.162 (talk) 12:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can only sugest you take it to WP:AFD but if you are notable and there are no inaccuracies per WP:BLP I'm afarid your authorisation or otherwise is academic. Sorry. Pedro : Chat 12:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please also try Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard Pedro : Chat 13:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are already recreating the pages

Now User:Neda23 is recreating the pages you just deleted. Ridernyc 12:57, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Signatures

The problem is that the code for my signature did not fit in the My Preferences tab. Lex⁹⁴ ^Talk ^{Contributions} ^{Guest Book} 18:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Wikipedia:Signatures#Transclusion of templates tells us to not use templates, because they aren't technically actually signatures. However, my preferences tab, has '''{{User:Lex94/Signature}} ~~~~~. The 5 "~" classify it as a signature.

The other reason it gives is the vandalism; which is the reason I want the page protected. Cheers, Lex⁹⁴ ^Talk ^{Contributions} ^{Guest Book} 18:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Signature with talk link

How's this? Any suggestions gratefully received. Accounting4Taste | talk 21:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Broken! Set your preferences to :

[[User:Accounting4Taste|Accounting4Taste]]:<small>[[User talk:Accounting4Taste|talk]]</small>

don't use the pipe - it breaks templates on user blocks (only found that out after I got the buttons!!). You can play with the code or let me know!! Pedro : Chat 21:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aaahhh, I get it. Thanks so much for that, I didn't know about the pipe. How's this, which I copied directly from your coding? Accounting4Taste:talk 22:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Miserable old git...

Hahaha...admitting it is the first step to becoming ~~normal~~ more like me, again :P Dihydrogen Monoxide 00:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, just rub it in that I'm not legally old enough for the second link...December 1st!! :) Btw. - MSN? Dihydrogen Monoxide 00:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yo

[1] - I really don't think this article is justified. I mean, it's hardly noteworthy, AND it's a cover of Led Zepp's Good Times, Bad Times. And this non-noteworthy Godsmack version is already mentioned in detail on that article, so this other article just should not exist. Cover versions are never given a separate article, even if it becomes more famous than the original (but this has clearly not, and will never happen). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.219.1 (talk) 05:28, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Red links in the edit log

When I check the edit log the are links to article that are supposedly requested but not yet created. How are those request made? And how do you delete something? NYDreams 10:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome. I know I'm too new for this but is it true any editor can become an administrator? NYDreams 10:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help, hopefully I can become a good enough editor. NYDreams 11:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like I found something to do here, I look for good articles requested in WP:AFC and I post the good ones. See my contribs. ---New York Dreams (talk).

Hoaxes

Hola Pedro. I suspected someone might take issue with my tagging this silly hoax for speedy deletion. But I am familiar with the rules. I'll have you know was attempting to follow speedy delete guidelines, which state that patent nonsense does not include: "poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes of any sort; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases" (emphasis added). I'd say copying a Toy Story writeup and replacing the word "Toy" with "Aliens" and inserting a fake and poorly manipulated movie-poster is pretty blatant. But I am often wrong about such things. Isn't there a faster way to delete this garbage than PROD or AfD?--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 11:17, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia page

Hi. I have created a mock CP Morgan Company, Inc. page in my user page for- Jdent15. Could you please take a look at it and tell me what I need to change so it can be used on Wikipedia? Thanks! Jdent15 16:22, 16 November 2007 (UTC)joelle[reply]

I have recreated the page however, there is a message coming up saying it still faces trouble. I tried using the KB Homes and Shea Homes as examples of how to write it. Do I need more more references or information to complete this article? Thank you thank you 76.106.38.66 (talk) 22:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)joelle[reply]

I'd suggest you follow the blue links inside the warning box for more help. It's not within deletion criteria however. Pedro : Chat 22:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ItsNat

Por favor Pedro puedes revisar el artículo ItsNat de nuevo? alguien ha marcado el artículo de nuevo como borrable con casi ningún cambio después de la última "aprobación". Gracias.

Pedro please can you review again the ItsNat article? someone *again* has marked the article as speedy deletion with almost no changes after the last "approbation". Thanks.

My RfA

I'm sorry you feel that way. I am deeply concerned by the calm acceptance by everyone that this series of IPs is who he/she claims to be; and some folks' positions seem to verge on, "Well, of course, we'll remove any articles that the subject doesn't want here"; in other words, we'll self-censor. I do not feel I was biting the noob; I don't even know if there is a noob at the other end of that IP. (That said: I'd rather have honest criticism than sly weaseling. You stated your position clearly and explained it well.) --Orange Mike 23:13, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
