Mr. Lefty is currently busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries. |
I will reply to urgent matters on your talk page unless requested otherwise. For other things, I'll probably just reply here.

[edit] Lemon heads
Can you check on Lemon heads (hist) again for me? I had tagged it for speedy delete, but the user was insistant about having the article. I'm still doubtful about its notariety, but at the same time I appear to be the only one reverting. What didn't help was that the user removed the speedy tags twice and placed an {{sprotect}} as he thought I was vandalizing the article. Trying to do the right thing here per WP:BITE, so I made an apology on his talk page and backed off. Maybe all I'm looking for is a "You didn't screw things up, James" from someone. Can you help?

[edit] Vandal bot
hey dude did u create that vandal bot... its kool
- Uh, no, I haven't been creating any vandal bots. If you're asking about AntiVandalBot, that would be Cyde who created that. --Mr. Lefty (talk) 17:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Andrew Sylvia
No, Glen created the account, so it's not a sockpuppet. I justed wanted to know why. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- I knew it wasn't a sockpuppet, I was just informing him that it was blocked in case he didn't already know. --Mr. Lefty (talk) 18:48, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

- Won't that block his IP as a result? The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism
Hi there; I notice that in the midst of my brief bit of action with User:BubbaJubba, terminated by User:Gwernol, you reverted a piece of vandalism which I did not even see, you were that quick. Thank you.--Anthony.bradbury 22:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
[edit] Scientific attitude
When you have a moment, can you take a look at this article [[2]], and tell me if this looks kosher? I was going to speedy it, but could not think of the proper category to put it in... it's not really nonsense, but it is certainly not encyclopaedic. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thanks. ---Charles 00:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's not speediable, but it's also very subjective. You will probably want to consider a PROD or AfD. --Mr. Lefty (talk) 00:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
-
- Ok. When I first looked at it, I was going to tag it for wikification, etc., but there is nothing to wikify. It is an opinion piece, not an article. I will propose it for AfD. Thanks for your thoughts. ---Charles 00:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rv vandalism on my page
Thanks for fixing that. I gotta admit that's one of the funnier vandalisms I've seen in a long while! I LOLed!! E. Sn0 =31337= 01:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A very Californian RfA thanks from Luna Santin
 |
Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of (97/4/4)! I've never been able to accept compliments gracefully, and the heavy support from this outstanding community left me at a complete loss for words -- so, a very belated thank you for all of your kind words.
I have done and will continue to do the utmost to serve the community in this new capacity, wherever it may take me, and to set an example others might wish to follow in. With a little luck and a lot of advice, this may be enough. Maybe someday the enwiki admins of the future will look back and say, "Yeah, that guy was an admin." Hopefully then they don't start talking about the explosive ArbComm case I got tied into and oh what a drama that was, but we'll see, won't we? Surely some of you have seen me in action by now; with that in mind, I openly invite and welcome any feedback here or here -- help me become the best editor and sysop I can be.
|
- I'll look forward to seeing you around. :) Luna Santin 19:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Lefty,
I see looking at the WikiProject user warnings page, that you are a participant in this project. I have recently started an undertaking to harmonise all user page warnings and templates. For this I would like your assistance. I have listed a number of ideas on the project template page here as a first draft. I fully appreciate that as with most editors and admins, that you are fairly busy. Therefore I am not looking for anyone to carry out the actual work, I am willing to do that myself, with help from a number of other RC Patrollers who have come forward. But what I am looking for is your invaluable input, on the draft ideas and also to suggest other ways you believe we may improve the templates. I do however require the services of a couple of administrators to put into effect some of the new templates, as they are currently protected. Please take 5 mins to look through the new templates page, and both the project and templates talk pages and leave any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Best regards Khukri (talk . contribs) 09:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Could you take a look at what I think is a blockable offense?
Street Scholar (talk • contribs) has expressed some pretty offensive views about women and continues to do so after warnings. This interaction on my and his Talk page is the most recent: User talk:Street Scholar#Pakistan Hackerz Club, User talk:Saxifrage#It was an old convo. Apparently this is a pattern.[3] [4] As far as I've read, people have warned him for previous offenses but he's yet to receive a message in the form of an instructive block. My first reaction to reading (before I'd even commented to him) was that I'd block had I the power. Your opinion on it would be good as I fear I'm losing perspective. I'm not asking for a block, but your opinion on it would be appreciated. I think an RfC is probably the appropriate next step, as I don't think Wikipedia needs that kind of un-self-restrained attitude. Thanks. — Saxifrage ✎ 16:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind, but thank you anyway. There appears to be an entry at WP:ANI#User:Street_Scholar already. Good day! — Saxifrage ✎ 17:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Objection
What I posted in Halo 2 was not "nonsense". It was simply a fact (NOT opinion) of Halo 2 that many players do not like to admit. Just because you don't like the fact doesn't mean it is "nonsense".
[edit] Thanks!
Seems that we have a new pest whom I've dubbed the "Shit Vandal." Thanks for flushing that loser. What a turd. :) - Lucky 6.9 23:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Lucky 6.9 has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
[edit] Vandalism by User 205.188.116.139
Hello. I'm contacting you because I saw your name on the talk page for User:205.188.116.139, who is once again engaged in vandalism.
He/She has been at the article on author Kevin J. Anderson and has also blanked my user page and added a {{banned}} tag.
SandChigger 01:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, but there's not much I can do right now, seeing as it's an AOL IP and probably a different person than the previous warnings were directed to. But, I warned them, and if they keep it up I will have no choice but to block them. Thanks, --Mr. Lefty (talk) 01:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
-
- Thanks; I understand the problem with the proxy IPs. No doubt it's the same person, but I just noticed that the Anderson page edits were from address 205.188.117.8, the blanking of my page from 205.188.116.139. Sorry for not being more precise earlier!
-
- I haven't looked into such "meta matters" recently, but is there some reason why the powers that be don't go ahead and require people to create accounts (with verified email addresses) before they can edit? SandChigger 01:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

As far as I can see you are not currently assigned as a coach to anyone at Admin coaching. Are OK to receive a new trainee? Thank you for helping with admin coaching! Highway Grammar Enforcer! 22:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Would you prefer a more experience partner, or would you like to take someone more junior to the program? Apologies if you're junior yourself. ;) Highway Grammar Enforcer! 22:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- D-Day, FayassalF needs a partner, Tawker is free too. I'll just match you up with the next person who replies. Why do I get the feeling I'm going to get a whole archiveful of message by tomorrow morning? :P Highway Grammar Enforcer! 22:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User:Mr. Righty
I went to block this one for being too similar to your username and saw you got there first... I thought your block summary was hilarious. =) --Ginkgo100 talk · e@ 23:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi! It seems that we will work together on training User:Shyam Bihari. Do you have an msn or skype account? It'd be much easier to talk about it a bit more dynamically. :) My skype account is ncurse. NCurse work 12:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion tags
Please don't remove speedy deletion notices from articles. You may place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page if you oppose an article's speedy deletion. Thanks. I have provided a better explanation for the tag this time. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 01:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm an admin, so I do know what I'm doing. Speedy deletion tags can be removed as long as you're not the one who created the article. --Mr. Lefty (talk) 01:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Admin coaching
It's my pleasure that you are agreed to coach me. Please suggest me, how should I start? Please make all the suggestions at a common place: User:Shyam Bihari/Admin coaching which is created recently. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 02:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin coaching - November 1 - New recruit issues
Hey Lefty, NCurse (talk • contribs) has offered to take on Shyam Bihari (talk • contribs) by himself, so you could take on another coachee yourself. It's up to you if you'd like to have a student to yourself, you're free to stay with NCurse. Please get back to me soon, Highway Grammar Enforcer! 20:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yay! *Does dance* I've finally cleared the unassigned and the archived requests. I can start chipping at the list now! :) I'll let you know who you get, Highway Grammar Enforcer! 22:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need some help
Hello,
The page Splashdown (disambiguation) is completely antiquated at this point, its contents having been moved to Splashdown and all of its links changed as well. So, if speedy deletion criterion g6 isn't the approproate template for it, how should I go about getting this deleted?
Thanks in advance, —Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 05:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you for supporting my RfA
 |
Thank you for your support in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of (56/0/2). It was great to see so much kind support from such competent editors and administrators as commented on my RfA.
I know I have much reading to do before I'll feel comfortable enough to use some of the more powerful admin tools, so I'll get right to it. |
[edit] triforce
look! i am just saying that you can no way get the triforce in ocarina of time. people just use these gameshark codes called moonjump and this nayrus love code thingy to make us think they got the triforce but they really havent. ok? to be honest, i think that userbox that i keep removing SHOULD get considerd for deletion. 81.129.233.201 02:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey there
You've been selected to be my admin coach. Per HighwayCello's instructions, I went and set up a coaching page User:Swatjester/Admin coaching, but in the off chance that I forget to check it, drop a line on my talk page and I'll pick it up, or send me a wikipedia email. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 04:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiLove!
Here's a right hand for you! Right hands somehow promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving something friendly to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Make your own message to spread WikiLove to others using Template:smile! Happy editing! --TBCΦtalk? 08:19, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Get it? A righty for Mr. Lefty? Anyhow, keep up the good work on Wikipedia, you've contributed a lot of great edits. :D (another ackward attempt at comedy by TBCΦtalk?)
[edit] Please block user: 24.187.79.74
Due to multiple accounts of vandalism. His last edit of yellow journalism was after his last warning. Link to talk page
[edit] Image:Sq-thekiss-take2-wi.jpg
This image was used in Bisexual chic in which article it could never be fair use. Please delete it. Arniep 00:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, yes, it couldn't really be used in that article, but that doesn't mean it can be instantly deleted. If it's not used in another article in seven days, however, it can be. --Mr. Lefty (talk) 00:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ah but as it's orphaned it's unlikely it will be used isn't it. Perhaps we could use common sense? Arniep 14:37, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Small Favor
Hey Lefty, I was wondering of you could help me out with getting votes for expanding an article I started a while back. My old US Australia relations article is currently being considered for expansion by the Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight. To vote, go here and scroll to the bottom.

[edit] Donald Rumsfeld
Dont know if you saw my message on WP:ANI but I wrote:
Much as I feel its a last resort sprotecting articles linked of the main page, like Saddam's article earlier this week Rumsfelds has gone totally off the chart. In the previous 3 hours its had over 250 edits - and AT LEAST 20 vandalism reverts - and that was just glacing up the history page quickly.
I personally reverted a good dozen of those myself and so I'd kindly ask that you please keep a very close eye on it now you've removed protection. As frankly Im beat.
Good luck! :) Glen 02:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
