[edit] Sorry for reverting

[1] Sorry for taking off your legit edit. There's an alert on Template:Wdefcon to watch recent changes, and I just acted too quickly. =( --Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 02:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: this

I understand what you are saying, but I'm not sure how the warning helps you. The main point of being able to see the deletion history (when a page is deleted, the number of previous deletions comes up automatically) is to determine the length of any block, and if, presumably from choice, you're not an admin, I can't see how knowing it's the 4th deletion helps you. User contributions are available anyway, so you can see the track record of a malefactor. Forgive me if I'm being a bit dim, and I've misunderstood your comment thanks, jimfbleak 19:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll put you up for admin if you like (will be later though). The problem with warnings it that they take time. At peak vandalism times, I can be deleting/protecting/blocking non-stop, and still barely stemming the tide. Pop-ups are invaluable in saving time viewing pages without opening, but that time would be lost if warnings were put on clear vandalism (I do warn in borderline/pest cases) jimfbleak 06:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for permanently banning the user Irfanhasmit

this user is a friend of mines but he keeps vandalizing my pages and other pages. He even did a personal attack 2 times! I do not know how to prevent other people from editing my user page so please tell me if you can help protect my page.

Requesting:

• Permanent Ban for Irfanhasmit
• Protection on my userpage.

[edit] RfA nomination

I've nominated you here. You need to accept and answer the questions for the process to commence. good luck, jimfbleak 15:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Looks good

I agree...I was working on following these edits, as many are db's for articles that have been vandalized or should instead be afd's. Take a look: [2]. Peace, Kukini 16:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Take a look: [3], you say. Bleugh! I just took a look, now I'll take a proper look... Tonywalton  | Talk 16:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I was a bit hasty with that one. Seeing so many promotional bios one after another, one tends to get a bit cynical. I'll try to give more benefit of the doubt in future. Akihabara 17:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Great working with you! I am impressed with your style, encouragement and focus. Best, Kukini 17:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Just noticed this [4]. You considering it? Let me know if you do. Kukini 18:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

Tony; may I wish you the very best of luck in your RfA, and I was delighted to be able to be the first to support you.--Anthony.bradbury 19:43, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CCGB Thanks

Good points, Thank you for your valuable input and clarity!! Chrisgo 14:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for amending the page

Thanks for amending the page Arlington House but I must object to your accusations that I ‘over-write a pre-existing article with a new one’’ if you look at the history (May 2006) the changes had been made along time before I got there - I just updated some info and ONLY removed onelink that appeared to not relate. Thank you anyway. Chrisgo 14:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

You did tell me Please do not simply over-write a pre-existing article with a new one when I only Deleted one questionable link and added seven words! I think my language is fair so will not be 'toning down' thank you (I could say the same about you but your free to have your say and I appreciate you feedback).Chrisgo 15:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to both you, Tony, and Chris for your help with the Arlington House DAB page. See my more detailed comments on Chris' talk page. --JohnPomeranz 16:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My opposition to your RfA - shifted to neutrality

Tony, I've shifted my stance on your RfA from 'weak oppose' to 'neutral' and have explained on the RfA page - thanks for taking the time to speak to me on my talk page ... and good luck. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Charming Associates

Tony, this gets only 7 hits on Google, including the Wiki article. I think it's a spoof. See my comments on User talk:Voncrass regarding his creation of Falar. I'm going to chop it. jimfbleak 16:31, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Tony,

With regards to the charming associates, it is not a spoof. They are a very popular band that are currently in the process of being signed. All you have to do is go to their myspace account to see that they are not a spoof. www.myspace.com/charmingassociates

Please will you re-instate this page as soon as possible. I have been to great lengths to research more information about them that I was in the process of adding today before it was unfairly deleted.

Regards.

Cut/pasted to Jimfbleak's talk page. I didn't delete it. Tonywalton  | Talk 16:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem, jimfbleak 17:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The ipswich ripper

There's been so much total nonsense that at first I thought that page was too. After the guy kept putting it up, and was adding to it, I googled it and found that same ref. you cited, and apologized to the page creator. It is very poorly done, though, as you said. Aleta 20:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

• I've started the talk page for the article so any further discussion can take place there. I did tag it as a current event and as needing cleanup. Aleta 20:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I haven't dealt with the AfD before, but if you need my backup on it, let me know. Aleta 20:37, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the link! I have made a comment, suggesting a rew name for the article of something besides "The ipswich ripper", as well as the need for the article to be improved. Also, I will watch this to learn about AfD. Aleta 20:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Im sorry

Hope? You've been here since 2005, you're a newpage patroller, and you still have hope?  :p

I suppose the only thing we can do is to keep hoping that eventually, some n00b will read WP:INTRO and become a newbie instead of a 'k3w1 d00d'. It already has a link on the page creation form, so you never know. — BrotherFlounder (aka DiegoTehMexican) 22:25, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations!

Well done on getting 100% support in your RfA! You must be really pleased with that result. I'm sure that a Bureaucrat will be along shortly in order to issue you with a shiny new set of admin tools. If you have any questions about using them then please ask. Have a pint for me when you go off to the pub to celebrate this one! Regards and happy mopping, (aeropagitica) 16:22, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're a sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=
 PS Please add you name to WP:LA!

Very well done. Don't go deleting gems such as "Bus Wars" without letting me have a look first! :) Bubba hotep 08:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
