Heh, thanks. :-) Regards.--Húsönd 16:13, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it's fixed

Maybe it was a time ban, because I can edit now. Oreo

Excessive vandalism in Buddhism and Hinduism

User:Green23, User:Saavak123 and User:216.254.121.169 are sockpuppets of the same person. They have the same patterns (see here and here) and what's worse is that they have started voting in AfD debates (You'll notice that the only two delete votes are given by Green23 and Savak123 here). This is in addition to them having the number 23 common in their ID and the same contribution patterns.

I've worked hard and even mentioned their excessive quotes on another page altogather and linked it up, aside from mentioning every aspect of the earlier work. My good faith has met with arguments such as "read all edits...tagging until I add edits. Go to discussion page to get facts straight."

Please take appropriate action and ensure the sanctity of the article.

I blocked him

I blocked the IP that was trolling on this page after he vandalized Colin Powell again and was reverted by AntiVandalBot. Academic Challenger 22:56, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting my page!

It wasnt simply a "duplicate". You didnt read the beginning.Jerry The Jerk 01:00, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: User:Sunset's Light

I blocked this user indefinitely after discussing the matter with other admins on IRC. The contributions are interesting (in their manner, not their content): a third of them were controversial edits to his user page (namely userboxes praising Osama bin Laden and referring to the John Seigenthaler Sr. controversy), a third were abusive or just downright trolling, and a third were vandalism reverts. Given the reversions of vandalism, I had to get a second opinion on the matter, but I think the trolling ([3], [4], [5]) and abusive edits (such as this post on Jimbo's user talk page) trump the vandalism reverts. --Coredesat 12:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Re: User:72.249.32.51

Yeah, it was lucky I was keeping my eye on that article for vandals and such. Being attacked like that is something nobody should have to put up with. I was called a "dumbass" and "idiot" today too, so I can kind of relate. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 07:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Templates

I'm a little incredulous that someone would do a speedy delete on all 6 templates, after 3 AfDs chose keep, and there was clearly no consensus on this page among the admins. Aren't speedy deletions for uncontroversial material? I'm too emotionally involved to say anything on the noticeboard myself. -Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

This is getting a bit too far. Perhaps it was amusing in the beginning, but now it's just simply annoying. Not to mention that person vandalised my page too.

hey

haha, thanks for the smiley thing... you guys get a lot of headaches around here like that crap at the polish page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rowsdower45 (talk • contribs) 7 November 2006.

Heh.

It was just a quick joke. I was going to delete it after I showed it to my cousin just for a quick comic effect. But, I really respect what you do. It must be difficult to regulate Wikipedia when it's so easy for people to damage well-established articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TequilaPickles (talk • contribs) 7 November 2006.

Welcome Page

Hey Luna, I was just inquiring about giving users Welcome Pages. In the past some new users have left messeges on my talk page requsting Welcome Pages (I did not give any). Although the users have stopped, for future I would just like to know, am I allowed to or would I be considered a impersonator (for acting like an admin). Could you please respond on my talk page.

Thanks alot Kelvin Williams 08:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for that Luna, appriciate it. Kelvin Williams 08:44, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Leeching internet

hi, this is the person who asked to be unbanned from the IP 71.141.128.49

i live in an appartment and i'm sorry to say, people leech my internet just curious but could you send me the pages that they vandalized? maybe this way i could find out which of them did it

thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dalazshinobi (talk • contribs).

I was going to answer the question, but I saw that Special:Contributions/71.141.128.49 has no history. It appears, Dalaz, that it had nothing to do with people leeching your internet, but with other IPs in your range. Luna will have to answer your question more specifically.

i'd like to have Al Gore deleted from here

i'm sorry but everytime i glance at Al Gore's page, it brings back a haunting memory involving a japanese man's hair and a pickle accident i had some time ago. I don't really like to discuss my traumatic experience, but it devastatingly altered the path of my life. I would appreciate it if Al Gore was taken off of here. With gratitude,

Help re: User 83.67.21.186

Hi, User:83.67.21.186 is at it again, despite being blocked once by you. Recent vandalism by the user: [6], [7], [8]. This appears to be a vandalism only account. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Nazli 03:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Trolling? Seeeeeeeeeeeriously?

Seriously -- using profanity while disagreeing with poorly thought-out administrative priorities and actions is "trolling"? Nice environment to edit in. Too bad we can't kick admins to the curb who practice neocon wikipolicy ...

The cool thing about being an admin is that if you act like a dipshit, and someone calls you a dipshit, you wield the almighty banhammer, giving the admins the first and last word. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.148.66.9 (talk) 9 November 2006

Mattisse

Please review Mattisse's edits today. As part of her ongoing vendetta against pagans, she has removed the link to the personal websites of the subjects of at least a dozen articles. This is an ongoing campaign of stalking Rosencomet about which no one will do anything, despite the use of over 18 sockpuppets. —Hanuman Das 06:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hacking

I am the real Kelvin Williams, but recently somebody has hacked into this account. Anything that happens after GMT 10:30+ 6:24 9th of November 2006 is not me, so please don't block me.

Your removal of information at WP:PAIN

Why? Why did you do this edit? [9] Your edit summary states: User:Luna Santin -- (Fahrenheit451 - looks like no further action is being taken). So your edit summary stated your conclusion but your edit summary did not state what you did. Your summary doesn't say that you deleted from the page, or archived it or cut and pasted it somewhere. Yet User:Durova had requested something from User:Fahrenheit451 which had not happened yet. The possibility of resolving an issue is gone from the board now, thanks to your edit. Why did you do it, what did you do? Do you require a fuller explanation of the issue which was, as is appropriate, briefly stated ? Terryeo 22:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Newbie Question

Seems you beat me to it (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User:212.159.116.212)

I requested this user had their IP address blocked. However I realised I should show a warning to them first. How do you show a warning template to an anonymous user? Its not explained anywhere - it just mentions showing one on their talk page. Can you answer this question?

Pdhooper 22:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Quick response!

Thanks for the swift response. The links you gave me are the ones I've read, and I can see how to do it for a registered user. However I must be being really dumb as I cannot see how you can target a warning an just an anonymous user. With an anonymous user they do not have a talk page, and surely if you put the warning up on the vandalised page then everyone will see, or will they?

Ah! that makes it clearer - thanks. I've put a warning for the user in question [here] - hope this is correct. I have found in the UK that the DHCP leases of most ISP lasts a long time - a matter of months, so lets hope he sees it. Thanks again, Pdhooper 23:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I have some concern.

One this page here [10] under the file history it says that I "reverted" the image, which is not really true. Now I hate to play with other users but I may have to request to change my password. Please if you can investigate this for me or explain to me how it can be possible it would very much be appreciated.(UNFanatic 03:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC))

Unfair Blocking

Hello Luna Santin,

I believe I have been unfairly blocked due to my IP address or IP service provider being shared by other people. The page which it is claimed was edited by myself, I had never seen before, nor do I understand any of it. How can this be avoided in future? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.28.159.168 (talk) 10 November 2006

Visual Basic 5.0

Thanks for unblocking me. I'm not sure if you'd see this message on my talk page or not, so I'm repeating it here. Now that 163.192.21.44 is blocked for anonymous editing, someone should block 163.192.21.43 anon-only also, since that IP is also used by us. Whoever is doing the spam here has a 50/50 chance of coming in via that IP. FYI. Visual Basic 5.0 14:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Just so you know

BrownHairedGirl wasn't guilty of breaking any wikipedia policies.. I'd looked through both her edits and the one who reported her, and basically, he canvassed and attacked her for AfD'ng gamecruft that he had posted.--Vercalos 20:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

About a warning left on User talk:MONGO's page regarding vandalism

Even after reviewing WP:VAND, I am unsure how to qualify an attempt by an editor to remove every instance of a particular word from Wikipedia. The word is dysgenics, and the user removed it from no less than 9 different pages (please refer to his list of contributions to see the list, all done between 07:10 and 07:48 EST November 10 (they're all in a row and difficult to miss). However, in the interest of civility I will go and remove again the template and explain instead what was intended.--Ramdrake 21:08, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
