- Seems to be creating a number of articles in good faith, although they are quickly listed as speedy deletions or at least on vfd. You (Talk) 18:52, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Besides posting the {{welcome}} > message on his user page, I've left him a tip on what should be in Wikipedia. Flcelloguy | Give me a note! | Desk 22:12, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- P.S. His list of contributions seems to be blank. Have they all been "rolled-back" by an admin? Also, if they have, is there any way of finding out the date he edited so we can see if he comes back to Wikipedia? Thanks. Flcelloguy | Give me a note! | Desk 22:14, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It seems that his/her contributions have all been deleted. I have some of the links to the vfd pages though:
- Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Dragging a car
- Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Alligator in sewer

- OK, thanks. I'll check on his contribs (if he does anymore) periodically. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 20:32, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- This user has changed the controversial Benny Hinn article and Alva, Oklahoma article, both times adding POV hostility towards religion. Perhaps they could be helped to be a fruitful editor? --Prosfilaes 23:24, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I doubt he'll be back- just 3 edits (on June 6 and 9). But just in case, I've put both pages on my watchlist. Flcelloguy 18:46, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- And... he's back! Edited as anon IP number 65.66.18.44 to Alva, Oklahoma. Hmm... I'll see what I can do about it. Flcelloguy | Give me a note! | Desk 00:44, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Added stern warning (including {{test3}} ) to talk page. I have a feeling that this is a user who just wants to have some "fun" and won't listen to our warnings. If he does it again, I'll put him under WP:VIP- any objections? Flcelloguy | Give me a note! | Desk 00:49, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Vandalised Alva, Oklahoma again (this time with IP 65.66.18.44). I've put him on WP:VIP now. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 20:41, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Noticed that Alva, Oklahoma was edited again on July 1 (IP 66.141.66.114). I couldn't find the listing for this person on WP:VIP and -- being a newbie myself -- was uncertain of what my next step should be. Vespertine27 8 July 2005 07:57 (UTC)

- I'm not sure how much this user's activities are naivete or just plain cussedness, but he could do with more love and attention than I can provide. Mark1 04:01, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I've added a welcome notice on his user talk page, and also told him to feel free to ask me any questions. His edits seem to be in good faith with all good intentions. Flcelloguy 18:51, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Update: Flowerofchivalry did not respond to my comments, and continued editing. Some of his actions were controversial and several Wikipedians have filed a RfC against Flowerofchivalry (view it here). Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:12, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Adding Latin themed articles to the list of featured articles without going through the featured article process. Cedars 01:37, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- He has not made any edits after June 6, 2005. Flcelloguy 18:53, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Seems rather intent on creating several categories for the book Make Easy Money with Google. Seems to be the author of the book. I'm not really sure what to do about this, if all books would be considered notable enough for their own article, etc. You 20:20, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
203.173.159.115 (talk · contribs) Seems to be stretching the limit of newbie test. See the "contributions" for yourself. Superm401 | Talk 05:27, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Has not been back (only 4 edits on June 1). Flcelloguy | Give me a note! | Desk 22:15, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Huge amount of work creating what appear to be templates for Wikipedians to list their proficiency in musical instruments, similar to the language templates, e.g. "Oboe-ist level 3". I've left a message on the talk page, but this one has me scratching my head. - BanyanTree 01:00, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
- Apparently floated the idea at Wikipedia_talk:Babel#Skills other than languages, got no response, and proceeded to start adding them. - BanyanTree 01:43, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
- Enthusiatic but appalling revision of Beethoven. Adds hi's to his favorite pages. Tedneeman 23:34, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
- His only edits are all on the 26 of May, and it's been two weeks already. I doubt he'll be back- a one-day thingie. If not, then we should leave him a friendly warning. Flcelloguy 02:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
