[edit] Ban: 24 hours

You have been placed on 24 hour ban for your vandalism of The 3. Replacing the text with obscene scrawling is the mark of petulance and childishness. Your block will expire on 11 May 2005. If you continue to vandalize or vandalize user pages, your next block will be for much longer. I hope that, instead, you can contribute useful material and cooperate with other editors. If not, then perhaps Wikipedia is not the right project for you. Geogre 23:43, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

I see from following contributions that you believe your password was shared and therefore that others were using your account. You can go to your account (either through preferences or in the special pages) to change your password (highly recommended) or get your present account deleted and begin again. At the same time, I'm afraid that I have to hold to the block, since, simply put, we have to respond to what an account does, and this account is blocked (meaning your "friend" is blocked), since we can't be sure exactly when you'll have done the password change, etc. Feel free to go to the Wikipedia chat room on IRC to explain and get some help with remediation before then. Your edits prior to recently have, indeed, been very considerate, and it does look like a hijacking. Hope that you get it all worked out soon. Geogre 23:58, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked page

Discussion pages are not allowed on WP as I understand it. You can use the Village Pump to discuss issues. Vegaswikian 21:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

"It isn't a discussion page, it's a proposal." OK, it's a proposal that invites a discussion. It is not ever going to be an encylopedic entry. In any case, if my nomination is wrong, the admins will let the page live. In the mean time, you can use the village pump or go to the IRC channel as someone else suggested.

[edit] larry david

i reverted your edit to the Larry David article for several reasons. 1) it was written more in a gossip column style than for an encyclopedia. 2) it was redundant (the article already states, "Larry David was the primary inspiration for the character of George Costanza on Seinfeld." 3) it had a heading bigger than anything in the article. 4) the one fact, even were it not redundant, wasn't enough to justify a new section.

of course it's not mandatory, but may i suggest you leave summaries to describe your edits? even a word is usually better than nothing, and can be quite helpful to users who follow your trail. if you'd like to discuss, please do so here, on the larry david talk page, or on my talk page, as appropriate. thanks.

[edit] Re: impersonation

Thanks for letting me know. I blocked the user indefinitely. If this were to happen again, you may also consider reporting this at Vandalism in progress or the Administrators' noticeboard in case I'm not around. — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:07, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: Zoltarak

I removed your edit to Zoltarak's user page. In the future, please try to remember that the user page is for the user, unless otherwise stated. Thanks. Karatloz 16:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm... I think at the time I had decided that the User was using their userspace not as a "me" page but instead as a noticeboard to challenge and question Wikipedia's motives, and based on this usage I replied to it as I would with any talk page, trying to clear up any possible misunderstandings as best I could by explaining the probable reasons for the content's removal or alteration. But I understand if you don't see it now the way I saw it two months ago, if even I see it that way any more.

What I do when I find someone's put a comment on the User page is treat it as accidental and move it (rather than remove it), so that the comment can still be seen and addressed by the User at some point in time. But reversion and a query of the reasoning also works well.

Anyway, I thank you for your concern. Master Thief Garrett^Talk 08:28, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Karatloz

Your name is Karatloz. This is offensive. Change your name immediately fucker.

[edit] RE: Your Message

I am not an administrator, and as such, do not have the ability to block users or IPs. I believe that you may have mistaken me for someone else. -Colin Kimbrell 00:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Can't nobody get this bench

Thanks for your comment. I'm afraid I'm not sure what you're trying to convey, although I do like fractals. — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Lovely poem -thanks Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 11:38, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1 week block

You have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy against vandalising user pages. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock}} along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list. Note to sysops: Unblocking yourself should almost never be done. If you disagree with the block, contact another administrator. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 07:13, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm...I don't see that he's edited any user pages other than his own and that of User:Zoltarak in the last several months. Perhaps I am overlooking something? — Knowledge Seeker দ 07:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

User talk pages my dear fellow - see the conts list Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 10:08, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

So these [1] [2] [3] are the edits you consider to be vandalizing user [talk] pages? To me it seems a bit of a jump to thank a user after he leaves one poem, then block for a week after the second. I would like to lift the block for now. Perhaps we can try some of the intermediate steps first—like letting the user know you're no longer interested in hearing his poems. If that fails, a warning or perhaps a shorter block might be appropriate next steps. — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:29, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Who unblocked him should take responsability for today's new poem on Vegaswikian's talk page. -- _└^VodkaJazz/_talk^┐ 18:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Poems are not vandalism, they're poems! If Vegaswikians doesn't like it, he should delete it and tell me. I'll gladly stop sending him my poems if he does.Karatloz 18:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Please stop sending me your poems. Thanks. Vegaswikian 19:24, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Vegaswikian's mind is an open book for me. :) _└^VodkaJazz/_talk^┐ 13:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: your message

You're welcome. Although I'm confident that in the absence of evidence of vandalism, other administrators would have removed the block if I hadn't. One thing, though: while I agree that you were blocked in error, I do not think that your subsequent comments to Brookie (and others) were completely appropriate, either. We all make mistakes. Courtesy and rationality will triumph. I look forward to more of your poems, although I must admit I enjoyed the one about fractals more than this one. — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:11, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No more poems please

Please take me off your "mailing" list! Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 10:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'd like some poems

Hey karatloz, I'd like to be on your list of lucky poetry recipients. Keep on Fringoin'! Fringomania 20:39, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Karatloz

Well, even though I'm an administrator, I can't really convince anyone that your poetry is worthwile or not—that's something they must decide for themselves. Besides, it looks like you already have another fan. Maybe other people will see your poems on our talk pages and ask to receive them as well. Wikipedia's an encyclopedia, so it may not be the ideal venue for distributing your poetry—of course you may continue to do so in your current manner, but you should consider establishing a web site for it, if you are serious about it. — Knowledge Seeker দ 09:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
