[edit] A7X 900

Hey am new here and did not know about the vandalism rule. I will not do it again so please forgive me...

Hi Bucketsofg, A7X 900 was at it again. I see your entry on his talk page and I was thinking it might be useful if his offending edits are noted in the messages we leave him for future reference. Your thoughts? Xiner 00:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tiki

Some dude called Hooser is repeatedly vandalising Tiki (mythology). Can you do anything? Kahuroa 05:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 24.128.201.140

Please ban 24.128.201.140. He has vandalized dice and from his talk page I have seen that you have already given him a 'final warning' Thanks

[edit] Thank you

Hi Bucketsofg/Archive 4, thank you for voting in my RFA which failed eventually at a result of (91/51/8). I do not plan to run for adminship until a later date. Once again, I would like to thank you for voting. --Terence Ong _{(talk | contribs)} 03:31, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ezra Levant Entry

Things appear to be heating up at the Ezra Levant entry. Somebody from a Calgary, Alberta IP keeps wanting to remove the reference to "stock-a-holic" as well as "The Snack Pack" despite the well documented history of both of these events, moniquers or nicknames by media for Mr.Levants... I would say "antics" over the years, but that would not be NPOV. How bout his "activities" over the years? (is that better?) Just something you may want to keep an eye on Buckets. Thanks. Somena 16:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

The revert has been done again, and accusation of vandalism has occured because I thought the interview where Levant declared himself to be a "stock-a-holic" took place on Canada AM. It was on a National TV interview in the morning, I remember, because I actually saw the interview. I have added cites to both the "snackpack" thing, the "stock-a-holic" phrase, as well as the contreversy surrounding Matthew Johnston's role. Johnston was claimed to be a co-founder of the Western Standard according to an old archived page of the Western Standard's own website, screen captured by Grandinite -- which I have linked to... but now is listed as an advertising executive. These are honest mistakes on my part. I have provided cites for everything I have written about Levant. And I have tried to as much as possible to make it as NPOV as possible. The Anon IP from Calgary has gone away, and now a new user (I think it's a new user, named Torporeal, is claiming I am a vandal. Just wanted to give you a rundown on what's happening.

[edit] Thank you for your support

Dear Bucketsofg/Archive 4,
Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuiviénen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Little people/Big people

Grutness has suggested on my talk I move from lp to bp. Any comment? Kahuroa 00:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks!

Thanks for voting! Hello Bucketsofg/Archive 4, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care.

[edit] German-English translation

Thanks for helping to translate an article listed at Wikipedia:German-English translation requests - it's greatly appreciated, and it would be lovely if you come back and do some more translating. If you do, please move the article listing to the Recently completed translations – proofreading section to make sure it's proofread. Thanks! Saint|swithin 07:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverts

It is not nice to revert blindly. It could be even be considered vandalism. I am referring to your disruptive edits about Roman consuls.

[edit] Much thanks for your support on my RfA!

		Thanks for contributing to my successful RfA!
		To the people who have supported my request: I appreciate the show of confidence in me and I hope I live up to your expectations! To the people who opposed the request: I'm certainly not ignoring the constructive criticism and advice you've offered. I thank you as well! ♥! ~Kylu (u|t) 07:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

You spoke some kind words. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 07:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bourque article

The PDF article is not from the National Post site, and, since the National Post claims copyright and puts its material behind a pay for view wall, Wikipedia has no business linking to what is, essentially, a pirated copy.64.26.148.240 14:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

No objection here. I figured it was a content dispute, though, which is why I didn't like the semi-prot idea. Do you think maybe full protection would be better? Make sure you leave it protected as meta:the wrong version.  :) Mangojuice^talk

I do not see the point of semi-protection. Once it is semi-protected the anon user spings to life with as acoount that has a quite the interesting history. Pete Peters 00:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I take it you are famniliar with (a) the standard National Post contract (which I've signed) and (b) Canadian copyright law. I am amazed at the risks the Wikipedia Foundation takes letting people like you make these kinds of decisions.64.26.147.136 19:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

[edit] Your e-mail

I think the answer to your question is "Scroll down." If not, I'm not an admin so I can't see it; you'll have to copy the deleted text into one of my sandboxes, and I'll re-archive it. (Cases from before June are also in the history of the main RFCU page, although it may take some digging to find what you want. I can copy the case from the history if you send me a diff.)

Hey, Bucketsofg/Archive 4, thanks for supporting my RfA, with a tally of 104/4/7... I am now an admin!!! I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Yanksox 07:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Just a note for your attention, don't you find the editing pattern familiar by this contributor ?

Bog2 [2]Edits [ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Bog2] IP 70.68.127.172 [3]

May I draw your attention to the fact that this blogger [4]is currently in the Vancouver area, Shaw serves the AB and BC area does it not ?

Just thought you may wish to know about that.

What additional warnings would you suggest I leave? He seems to have been warned and blocked for vandalism and personal attacks often and recently... your comment said "premature, has not been warned at all"... LactoseTI 04:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:hooveruj

Please unblock user hooveruj as he is a unique user and was not engaged in sockpuppetry. He is the sole owner and administrator of the uselessjunk network and has vital information on justifying WP:WEB inclusion into wikipedia. The user h00ver was some anonymous imposter. Check the IP addresses. hooveruj edited the entry to improve factual clarity of the entry as he said in the edit "(site owner cleaning up inaccurate information published)". If anyone would like verification that hooveruj is the actual site owner, please feel free to contact him at his whois info with Netsol: sales@swelldeal.com. Please unblock this erroneously blocked user and thank you for your attention to this.Live Dog 05:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• • • ==Response== Thanks. I'm not affiliated with the site other than being a contributing community member. The site generates enough traffic on it's own without needing wikipedia as an advertiser. There is a history that has developed there that I believe is worthy of encyclopedic cataloging and that is the reason I began the entry. In retrospect, I shouldn't have openly asked for people to edit it for correctness, but should have just made hoover do it and kept it hushed from the membership, at least initially.- Live dog

[edit] Ohmy-omega

[edit] Lloyd Pye

Hi - thanks for putting semi-protection on the much-vandalised Lloyd Pye article! Unfortunately it's been subsequently removed by the registered user:luluamelu, who I suspected of being the cause of the sockpuppet vandalism - and again vandalised. What's your advice?

[edit] Thank you

I want to say thank you for your help on the Robert Craig-Morgan page. As a wikignome I prefer to avoid edit wars and if the anonymous user who is editing that page comes up with verifiable information I will be happy to see it changed. Also, since this is my first real experience of an edit conflict, if I have handled anything in an improper manner please let me know so that I can learn for future reference. Your wikiversion of the 'Modern Major General' song is a real treat! Thanks again.MarnetteD | Talk 13:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Well the user has signed up to get around the semi-protect. The user still does not provide any sources. I propose a compromise wherein we list the shows that IMDb agrees with, but not the ones that the user claims are for another R C-M or the ones the user claims to be in that aren't verifiable. Also, the users edits don't completely reach the MoS requirements. Is there any way to get the user to try to understand that what they enter should look a little less sloppy than it does.MarnetteD | Talk 08:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi again Bucketsofgrewal and thanks for your suggestions and advice. I went looking in another direction to get to the root of there being two different actors and found this [[8]] and this[[9]] which I think helps back up an important part of his story. I am not sure he will take suggestions from me in good stead, since I have made the mistake of making a mountain out of a molehill with his article so I appreciate your requests to him on his talk page. I find that each step, and misstep, I amke along the way here at WikiP is an interesting learning experience. Thanks, again, for your help.MarnetteD | Talk 20:59, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
