Found this junkThanks for catching that stupid vandal in my user page. He said that I should be beaten with a wrentch. I dont know how he will do that or how I met that user but thanks for reverting his stupidity --JAranda | watz sup 03:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC) And also the person who created that insult page in avobe is a sockpuppet User:Mexican G's. of the blocked user User:Mexican G's that is probaly the person creating all those insult names and should be quickly blocked. --JAranda | watz sup 03:28, 5 November 2005 (UTC) Should u create a template with that user as it is a bit serious like what we do with Supertroll WoW etc. Like this Mexican G's and a Vandalism in Progress report as this is a bit serious --JAranda | watz sup 03:35, 5 November 2005 (UTC) An other oneTwo hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps "My friend is dead, what can I do?" The operator says "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There's a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK now what?"

A nice metaphor about a zigguratTitoxd, Wikipedia is a kind of vast, towering ziggurat, the hub of a bustling city. It is unfathomably large, and, like a ziggurat, it was built a long time ago by wise and ancient priests who dispensed wisdom to the community at large. (I'm going somewhere with this metaphor, so stick with me.) I am very new here. Metaphorically, I am a small child running in the street, feet caked with dust, squinting into the sun at the temple's apex. From this perspective, Wikipedia is a very daunting thing. Your gestures of kindness were both unexpected and heartwarming. You are -- here the metaphor fails me -- a nice priest at the ziggurat who has given me some lapis lazuli beads and told me to buy something nice at the village market. Like the ziggurats of ancient times, this metaphor has become a terrible ruin. And like the ziggurats, archaeologists will look back on this metaphor and wonder, "What were they thinking?" So allow me to conclude by saying, thank you for taking the time to be nice. Your grace has made Wikipedia a little less daunting. Written in thanks, Caroline Sanford 06:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC) PS. Happily, this means I have achieved another of my life's goals, "To write metaphors about things that are like ziggurats." Re: VandalismJust so you know, your user page was vandalized [1] by an irate AOL IP I blocked. Gee... you're not even an admin and you're getting vandalized! Good work. Titoxd(?!?) 22:44, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Re:Whaaa...?Hey Tito, you're being so kind that I feel really bad saying "is it ok to wait a bit". Do you think it would be ok for me to let you know when I'm ready? That way I won't feel like I'm being a jerk :). I'm also in a bit of a spot: you happen to be not the only kind soul who's asked, so I've had to behave this rudely to quite a few people (~10 times now :(). I'm going to be very busy this month and in January, so I was wondering if early December or February/March might be better? I think when I'm kinda-sorta ready I'll mail you and one other very nice fellow who's been making repeated, entirely undeserved, offers. Is this ok? Thanks once more buddy. encephalon 22:20, 6 November 2005 (UTC) NB. Metapedian, eh? Didn't know that word. Learn something from you all the time. I think I'm somewhere between exo and meta; pretty clueless both ways. :) PS. Tito, As you can see from the history, an odd thing happened when I first posted this reply—it flew up to the top of the page. But it seems ok in Preview mode when I place it above Psychim's RFA thank you note. Is there some kind of funky HTML thing going on that's causing this? I can't spot the problem myself looking at the code. Posting this note just so you're aware of a possible problem. encephalon 22:33, 6 November 2005 (UTC) PPS. Tito, It is Psychim's note. If you remove it, the page works fine (in preview). There's some bit of code in it that's causing a problem, perhaps in concert with your new layout. Looking at it now. encephalon 22:43, 6 November 2005 (UTC) RfA thanks TestTesting... removed extra div tag, closed font tag... encephalon 22:45, 6 November 2005 (UTC) PS. Seems to be working now buddy. I've tested adding posts using all three methods ("edit this page", "+", and clicking the last edit), and everything seems to work. I think it was the extra closing div tag. I've seen that tiny thing wreck all kinds of havoc. Also, in case you didn't notice in the flurry of activity, Aaron dropped you a note up there, Tito. So long then. encephalon 22:54, 6 November 2005 (UTC) testingmore tests... Titoxd(?!?) 22:47, 6 November 2005 (UTC) Protection for Republika SrpskaThank you for attending to this issue. You have however locked the article after it was vandalized. Could you please revert the last edit. These particular users seam to be understanding the Wikipedia as an extension of Bosnian battlefield. They have used the discussion page only for nationalistic arguements and heated debate. Your attendace to this matter would be much appriciated. I have already requested help from other administrators in order to deal with users and issues in question. Thanks --Dado 00:35, 7 November 2005 (UTC) Sorry, do not listen Dado, he is a vandal and political propagandist. Just read my last post on the discussion page. My version of the page is neutral and his version is biased. PANONIAN 01:14, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks
Johann Wolfgang's RfAThank you for your support on my RfA. I will use my new abilities with the common interest in mind. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Though your message is nice and all welcoming him I should let you know that this is a reincarnation of User talk:218.101.117.9, please take a look at each one's edit histories. User talk:218.101.117.9 was blocked for 1 month by me for death threats and this second one started immediately afterwards and has begun to cause problems. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 03:16, 7 November 2005 (UTC) Im GoneThis looks familar There is a fatal flaw in the system. Vandals, trolls and malactors are given respect, whereas those who are here to actually create an encyclopedia, and to do meaningful work, are slapped in the face and not given the support needed to do the work they need to do. There is no reason to continue here. --JAranda | watz sup 03:17, 7 November 2005 (UTC) Recent blockFrom the block log:
Hey, I think you already know this, but we shouldn't block IP addresses indefinitely unless they are an open proxy. Nowadays, a lot of IPs are dynamic, and your block therefore wouldn't have any affect, except to bar an innocent user from Wikipedia. While the death threat was serious, we just can't ban it forever. I've reblocked for a month. Thanks, Bratschetalk | Esperanza 03:58, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks from PamriHi, Thanks a ton for voting at my RFA. I am now a wikipedia administrator. I hope I can keep your trust. Thanks again. --Pamri • Talk • Reply 05:00, 7 November 2005 (UTC) Regarding user vandalism on this ipThis is a public computer for the Rivergrove Library, so please avoid leaving messages for its users. If the problem is severe (which I doubt, since I've gone over the history logs), rather than bothering my responsible users, send me an email at root@rivergrove.ca. Thanks, Stephen Parker Network Administrator Republika SrpskaHi! Since you was the administrator that locked the Republika Srpska article, (and probably prevented a fierce edit war :), I would like to inform you about vandalism going on at the Talk:Republika Srpska. An anonimous user, is erasing posts of User:PANONIAN. Here is the evidence [2], [3], [4], [5]. I think that one of the worst and most perfid forms of vandalism is erasing posts on discussion pages. Could we do something about it?
Well Dado, is that not a personal insult? Your proposal is same as it was on the begining of the dispute - biased and one-sided. I 100% agree with the arbitration about this issue, and I think that we have to reach compromise about this. Do you want to reach compromise or only to post your one-sided and biased version of the story? I proposed a compromise on the talk page (Talk:Republika Srpska), and you are free to say your opinion about this compromise. It is better to try to work with me than to conduct personal "crusade" against me on the entire Wikipedia, as one can see from your contributions: If it is necessary, User:Titoxd or some other administrator should guide us to reach the compromise. PANONIAN 17:30, 8 November 2005 (UTC) I discovered thisUser:The mad bitch just created may be a sock or clearly username block. Could u block him just in case. Thanks --64.12.116.5 00:29, 8 November 2005 (UTC) Thanks!Thank you for guarding my user page and blocking that incessant vandal! Owen× ☎ 03:20, 8 November 2005 (UTC) Over here, you have written that the article Israel vs. Iran and_Russia War on AfD was to be deleted. It seems that you have forgotten to enforce the consensus as the article still exists. Please check it out.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 14:49, 8 November 2005 (UTC)  Thanks for your support on my request for adminship. The final outcome was (96/2/0), so I am now an administrator.

JCarriker subpagePer your edit summary at User:JCarriker/cabal It use to appear on my user page, it was in template form so others could add it to their pages if they wished. I used your template as a model, the residual link in it to your page was an error. It links to nothing because removed it from my page—it's self-deprecating humor and after the second Hatshepsut FAC debacle I don't feel like being laughed by anyone not even by me. -JCarriker 02:31, 9 November 2005 (UTC) Vandalism revertYou're welcome! It's funny, isn't it? I got stuck myself for a good half an hour reading about various Soviet spies, VENONA, and so forth while in the middle of that. He added my talk page to the category too, which gave me a good laugh. Happy editing! Antandrus (talk) 04:05, 9 November 2005 (UTC) Thank youVery much for your kind support of my adminship. I'll do my best to live up to your and my other supporters' expectations. If you have any comments or concerns on my actions as an administrator, please let me know. Thank you! — MC MasterChef :: Leave a tip — 14:44, 9 November 2005 (UTC) UserboxThanks! I'm always on the lookout for more userboxes, so please send some over if you can think of any that fit me. BTW, were you in Esperanza's Trading Spaces program? This place looks great, my user area could use some touching up. Maybe i'll enroll, but I don't think I can be of much help to anybody else with redecorating. Also wondering if I should go for 3,900 total edits tonight(20 more to go after this), but i'm very sleepy right now. Karmafist 05:40, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
(I posted this on requests for protection as well) Attention: I think we need protection again. It's been all of 36 hours since Titoxd unprotected the page and we've had 75 edits. And it's the same old stuff. We still have a dispute over whether or not Kerry's einjury that got him his first purple heart is a "wound" and whether or not it was "non serious". The problem is that we have a consensus, but Rex is fighting it...so...it's still an edit war. Please reprotect. It's exhausting trying to follow all of this. protection is needed. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 15:13, 10 November 2005 (UTC) Cheers

Regards, --JoanneB 13:24, 12 November 2005 (UTC) Blanking of my comments, againYou should check this: User Emir Arven just blanked my comments there. PANONIAN (talk) 14:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC) And he did it again: Also, you should know that I will end my involvement in this issue. I do not have nerves to deal with such indiviuals like users Emir Arven, Dado and Live Forever. If you check their contributions to Wikipedia you will see that these 3 person have no intentions to write a valuable Wikipedia articles, but rather to prove their political point:
As I said, my involvement in Republika Srpska articles will end or it will be very small in the future (I much more like to write articles about my beautiful city and some other interesting things than to argue with those people). I just want to tell you that you should not let those people to post their hate material into article. If they post this hate material there, the article will be the subject of permanent revert wars in the future, since the people of Republika Srpska will not like to read a hate stuff about them or their motherland. To prevent furthern revert wars about Republika Srpska article, the entire history section could be moved to sub article: History of Republika Srpska, like it was done in the articles about Kosovo and Montenegro. Of course, there is no help for the History of Republika Srpska article, it will be the subject of constant revert wars because of its biased and controversial nature, but we can have decent Republika Srpska article only if we move entire litigious history section into the subarticle. Maybe you can arrange some voting among administrators about this. Good luck. PANONIAN (talk) 14:31, 12 November 2005 (UTC) Sorry to disturb you so much, but just to show you one interesting example what are the goals of mentioned users on Wikipedia. I will just let Dado to speak for himself: Quote written by Dado: "with others reconciliation cannot start until truth is established and until people responsible for that truth are ready to start taking responsibility. On both individual and collective level". He obviosly have intention to "establish (his) truth", not to write neutral and non-biased article.

Perhaps I should adopt it in the ong term... Then again, maybe not. --Celestianpower háblame 22:47, 12 November 2005 (UTC) Oh cruel fate!I give in to temptation and come off my Wikibreak, and about the first thing I see on my watchlist is you saying you're going to be away! Coincidence?... Anyway thanks for your kind words on my talk page, it was real life getting in my way as well combined with a bit of disillusionment with Wiki things in general. Hope your real life situation works out alright, and see you when you get back. the wub "?!" 23:53, 12 November 2005 (UTC) A-OKHey Tito, I'm very glad to see that your OK.

Technical problemsHi Titoxd, do you know whether the technical html problems on wiki are only temporary? --Anonymous editor 23:48, 14 November 2005 (UTC) ThanksThanks for helping me with moving the page :-) Rex(talk) Thanks #2Good work banning "Sovietloveletter" (I was one of the people whose userpages got hit). Looking at the joker's contribution list I do believe he would have left little f-bombs all the way up the alphabet if he wasn't stopped. I'm just amazed it was an actual registered user for once. I'm used to that sort of behavior coming from anons. Cheers! 23skidoo 02:41, 15 November 2005 (UTC) SignaturesThanks for your comment. I didn't have any straight HTML in my signature, just some simple wiki-syntax. A little more digging showed that my [ was being converted to [. My signature had been Rossami]] [[User talk:Rossami|(talk). May I ask what your signature looks like? Yours seems to still be working. Thanks. Rossami 03:21, 15 November 2005 (UTC) Same with Rossami had no HTML and [ was being converted to [. but I still some how cant fix my sig Thanks --[[User:Aranda56|Jaranda([[User_talk:Aranda56|<sup>watz sup</sup>]])]] 04:09, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm a bit concerned about Splash. Do you know any more than is apparent from his page? Keep an eye out, will ya? Thanks. encephalon 02:27, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
WikipediologyI'd like to ask those fellows who have not indicated whether or not they grant permission for a wikibio on them to please do so soon. I'd also appreciate it everyone could expand or create the wikibios for which permission has been granted. The wikibio project simply won't be useful unless fellows actively participate; so I'd like to issue a challenge that each fellow contribute at least one sentence to two wikibios. I'll be on wikibreak for the next week and when I get back there will be prizes in store for the fellows who have the three highest edit counts on wikibios. Thanks. -JCarriker 22:57, 17 November 2005 (UTC) 5th timeThat is the 5th time you and that damn rollback button have got there before me! Oh well as long as it gets reverted right. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 23:44, 17 November 2005 (UTC) VandalismHello there fellow wikipedian and counter vandalism unit member, recently you permanently banned a wiki vandal by the name of sovietloveletter for userpage editing and he vandalized yours, well it turns out that he's back and has been vowing revenge on me (in his statement on his userpage i'm don zapapico and he states that he hates and calls me a coña). He vandalized my userpage under his name and the school he goes to ip 64.171.131.218 , I wanted to know if you could ban him again for userpage vandalism and keep a watch on the school ip and his. It would be a major convience not having to deal with is vandalism and I can't ban myself becuase i'm not an admin. His new name is FREEDOMSHMEEDOM. Thank you so much - Patman2648] | Patman2648 16:51 17 November 2005 (UTC) Thanks for the welcome!Thanks for the "welcome back" message, indeed, its great to be back. Places like Esperanza make it all the more worthwhile too. Thanks again. Banes 20:07, 18 November 2005 (UTC) ThanksThanks for supporting me for adminship. The RfA passed today.
