I SEE YOU, WE NEED YOU MAN!!!!! GET AN ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!! I just saw that you and I were trying to revert the same vandalism. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* (talk) 21:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

4! 68.39.174.238 22:00, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Wow, your fourth request - you are about to have so many messages that you'll need an archive soon. And not only that, you'd be the first IP I've seen with an archive! εγκυκλοπαίδεια* (talk) 22:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Has an account already

There is no doubt in my mind that this contributor has an account already. There are other IP addresses with discussion page archives, but they're not pretty.  ;-) Thank you, 68.39.174.238, for your diligence in keeping Wikipedia free of vandalism. Hall Monitor 22:06, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

And no I don't have "an account already". 68.39.174.238 22:18, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I, Hall Monitor, hereby present the RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar to 68.39.174.238, for his/her honourable dedication to seeking out and removing article vandalism. We applaud your efforts, regardless of whether or not you are logged in. Hall Monitor 22:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hola

I just dropped by for a cup of coffee and to say hello. Sorry I hadn't talked to you earlier this week, I was a bit spent with the "vandalism" trouble I got myself into.

I couldn't help noticing a few of the posts above, you got into "vandalism" trouble yourself as a newbie too? lol

I've just read Wikipedia's concept of "vandalism" and I'm horrified on just how many wikipedians don't fully understand this concept correctly, labeling changes to articles they have written or newbie experimenting as vandalism regardless on the changes been made in good or ill faith.

Finally, I have a few question. First, why are so many people interested in you getting an account? Second, what's an account? Third, do I have an account? Fourth, what can I do to win one of those pretty stars or a heart I've seen in other people's pages (like yours) or what do I have to do to give any to anyone? Finally, if I ever guess your name correctly will you let me know? :)

Adiós, Rosa Rosameliamartinez 19:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Hola de nuevo, surprisingly (for me at least) it seems question number three has already been answered by someone I've never spoken to in my talk...I guess I tend to forget "my talk" is public...Rosameliamartinez 21:00, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

For showing exceptional skill in hammering facts into my dense newbie head and being super nice and patient with me without having to I award you the Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar

I promise I won't get carried away with the barnstars lol good night, see you around real soon!Rosameliamartinez 07:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Hola, why does this person "Coolseethie stoopidank" do that to his head shot? Apart from that, there's a a little strange connection I'm beginning to notice...am I on the right track?Rosameliamartinez 06:52, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Hola ;D, I'm just happily passing by, see you later. Seen any interesting odd article lately? I just blanked and rewrote an article on a colombian music festival this morning, but that's nothing new to me. I wish I could find something really weird...Rosameliamartinez 02:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

hahahaha certainly not the "Alabama State Constitution" or the "Pennsylvania State Board of Censors"!!!!! You hit the right spot with the Unusual articles, gracias!Rosameliamartinez 02:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh my, I've just remembered I know a great historical unusual article. Believe it or not, one of the poorest cities in Colombia declared war to Denmark ( Colombia didn't, just that city) in the 19th century (I don't know exactly the date) cause the daughter of the mayor or governor was supposed to marry a dane and the guy practically left her at the altar lol Now where do I get the complete info? I wish I'd paid more attention during that class...Rosameliamartinez 02:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Hola ;D I can't remember exactly the name of the city, but I'm sure it's not a Spanish city like that other guy said since it was in "History of Colombia" class and I distinctly remember it was somewhere in the state of Boyacá (or was it the state of Boyacá the one that declared the war on Denmark?). Anyways, I haved googled too on this matter and haven't found anything, which isn't strange at all since there's not that much about Colombia on the internet. I'll try checking out some of my old history books. BTW I've been browsing the uncyclopedia, have you ever written anything there?Rosameliamartinez 18:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My user page

It's customary not to edit other people's user pages, but seeing how damn amusing the change was, I think that I'll keep it. Thanks :) – ClockworkSoul 05:50, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Also, may I recommend you use the "userbox" template, as follows.
{{userbox|#FF0000|#FF0000|[[Image:Hammer and sickle.png|40px]]|This person was [[User:ClockvvorkSoul|'''impersonated''']] by '''[[Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Wikipedia is Communism|the Communism vandal]]'''!}}
Cheers! – ClockworkSoul 05:55, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

You've heard this a hundred times already, but you know you like really would be easier if you created an account... – ClockworkSoul 05:57, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, last one: try this template: {{User:ClockworkSoul/Wic|FakeName}} – ClockworkSoul 06:06, 1 December 2005 (UTC) User:ClockworkSoul/Wic Way ahead of you: the colors have been fixed (at least I think so), see? – ClockworkSoul 06:28, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is an anon nominatable for adminship?

I guess that if there were an RfA for User:68.39.174.238, not a single person would oppose ;-) --tyomitch 09:45, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

  • His power could be abused by anybody capable of using his IP number. I would support if he creates a password-protected account, even if it is User:Sixty-eight or somesuch. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 09:50, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Not too many people can use that number. Comcast's current policy is that IPs are statically assigned to MAC addrs, so as long as I don't change my Inet-facing MAC this'll be me. 68.39.174.238 03:52, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question for you

Why did you put that warning on my talk page? I have not vandalized anything. You must have confused with someone else.--219.93.174.106 09:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:Essjay Left......On Wheels!

Thanks for your notice on User:Essjay Left......On Wheels!. However the notice indicates that it has been blocked. Do you think this is the case, or are you flagging it as a possible sockpuppet which should be blocked? DJ Clayworth 22:09, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I sure wish you'd get an account

I think I've blocked you two or three times because I've mixed you up with the anon vandal you're reverting. User:Zoe|(talk) 08:08, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Featured User

I just wanted to pop in to say that your Featured User template was hilarious. :) Acetic Acid 04:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hey, sugar cookie, get an account

I am one more person to bug you.

Thank you for your reversion of vandal edits. However, can you please, please, please, with sugar on top, make a cute, little, tiny, sweet, tasty account? You can choose a silly name if anonynimiy is what you care for (Suggestion: User:Honey cookie) but you are going to make so much easier the job of poeple watching for vandals.

Please, please, don't just gloss this over. Maybe you can give it a try, ah? Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 05:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] thanks for reverting the vandalism

Just thought I'd let you know your vandalism reverting is appreciated. Thanks! -- Rick Block (talk) 05:51, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Which stuff? This stuff -- Rick Block (talk) 05:56, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
BTW - I don't really care if you don't want to get a login, but I'm curious why you don't want one. I see several folks have suggested this. Your login can be as anonymous as your IP address if you'd like (perhaps user:x4427AEEE might be to your liking). In any event, thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 06:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I assume you've seen Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Anon page creation restriction. Judging by your contributions (mostly vandalism reverting), I suspect this won't bother you much. If it ever does (i.e. you'd like to create a page), please see Wikipedia:Articles for creation (or, just ask nearly anyone who's thanked you for your vandal fighting - I suspect any of us would be very happy to help you out in any way possible). -- Rick Block (talk) 03:53, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't pretend to understand what pressures Jimbo's under, but this seems to me like a direct violation of one of the founding principles of wikipedia. The "delete all unsourced images" thing was bad. This is bad. It's frankly a disturbing trend. -- Rick Block (talk) 00:31, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] GET AN ACCOUNT ALREADY!

Sorry, I just had to. 69.236.184.108 08:20, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

The masked avenger strikes again ;) thanks for the revert to my userpage. Alf melmac 12:39, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

You really should gen an account - with your quick eye, you could be an administrator in no time ;-) Izehar (talk) 22:19, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for reverting the vandalism to my userpage! —Kirill Lokshin 04:47, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for fixing the vandalism to my user pages, and for incrementing the vandal counter. Much appreciated. -- Francs2000 13:52, 8 December 2005 (UTC)




[edit] my first barnstar!

Thank you very much. if i had the power, i'd grant you the ability to see your user page. as it is, i can only give you this in return. may you display it proudly hidden:

pg-0 This anonymous user is not permitted to create pages in the Wikipedia.




Hmm. Is it true that the ban on anon creation only applies to en.wikipedia.org? Then again, isn't saying "in the English Wikipedia," in English, a redundancy? --216.237.179.238 23:00, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My userpage

Thanks for the link on my user page. I agree that the state constitution is outdated and entirely too long, but I've reverted your edit. The state government is doomed, and there's nothing I can do about it. Last I heard, next year's gubernatorial candidates were Lucy Baxley, Don Siegelman, Bob Riley, and Roy Moore. Talk about the least of four evils! Anyway, are you from Alabama or do you just keep track of state politics? --TantalumTelluride 20:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

You're right. Seigelman hasn't been convicted yet. Maybe I'll vote for him. As for Lucy, I'm just going to say that I've been forced to listen to her a few times and that I vehemently disagree with her platform. --TantalumTelluride 22:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
I think I might just write in James D. Wales for governor. Jimbo meets the minimum requirement of being a state resident for seven years. --TantalumTelluride 02:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Calm down. Nlu took you for a vandal because of that crazy edit summary. Anyway, Jimbo was born and raised in the Heart of Dixie. He graduated from Auburn University and attended the University of Alabama before moving to Indiana. I'm not sure where he lives now; his article isn't clear. I suppose he might live in St. Petersburg, since that's where the Wikimedia Foundation's primary servers are located. --TantalumTelluride 02:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
I've fixed the problem at Seal of Alabama. The existing article was a copy-vio, and it wasn't even accurate. It was about the Alabama Coat of Arms! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll work on the articles a little more when I get more time. Meanwhile, I thought I'd let you know that Alabama may not be as "depraved" as you think. At least we're not Mississippi! ;-) But seriously, Alabama is a lot more prosperous than Hollywood would have you think, even with its 2-million-word Constitution that grants Mobile County the authority to charge a mosquito tax. --TantalumTelluride 05:15, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Oh, that's just a local joke. The folks in Mississippi used to say "At least we're not Louisiana," but we all haven't been picking on Louisiana as much lately. --TantalumTelluride 06:11, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Archiving

I am not sure if it is allowed, but if so, do you want to archive some of your older talk messages? --Nlu (talk) 21:49, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't know, I kind of like the current structure, even though on closer examination it is a bit random and nonsensical. 68.39.174.238 21:58, 8 December 2005 (UTC) PS. Yes I can create sub user talk pages (Which have have done 2x already, see above). 68.39.174.238 21:58, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

For your impressive efforts fighting vandalism, I, Saikiri, award you the RickK anti-vandalism Barnstar.

[edit] The archives

I'm not sure where else to reply to this IP's question. I just hope that whoever asked it gets this. Under "see also" there is a link to the institution housing Cruz's papers. They have a biography and a guide to the collection on-line. They have a procedure whereby researchers can obtain digital versions of images in their archives, provided that the intended use of said image is not for profit and falls under the "fair use" clause of copyright law. In some cases, the University holds the copyrights in some cases, the rights remain with the original artist, and in some cases the rights are unknown.--Rockero 02:19, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

You know. --Jay ( Reply) 05:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes you do know. Thank you KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 18:01, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good Charlotte article

This is regarding the page Good Charlotte. I had edited a portion of the biography that said "Today, through non-stop touring and wide publicity, Good Charlotte has built a huge fanbase amoung kids, tweens, teens, and college students from all four corners of the globe." because listing "kids, tweens, teens, and college students," if very long winded, and it can be abridged by just stating "young people." Also, "from all corners of the globe" is a cliche phrase, and so I changed it. My edits were NOT vandalism, so DO NOT mark them as so. Thanks. Spuddy 17 21:07, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm giving him one more warning and then it's bye bye. Can you imagine if we allowed those things on here? Good god. Apparently he thinks we're a scholarly journal or something. Anyway. Thank you. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 14:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

And btw, don't listen to these fools with the "get an account" business. You do just fine. :) Sometimes I wish I could be anon on here. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 14:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Apparently, Pathoschild beat me to it and blocked him for 19 hours. Probably not a bad idea. If he wants to help, he has a chance to. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 14:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
So we meet again; I've got my name way up near the top of the page. The fact that an IP address is amongst the most active anti-vandals is utterly creepy. Thanks! ;) // Pathoschild 14:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey, it's his choice. I mean if he'd rather stay an anon, that's perfectly ok. I think we've told him "get an account!" enough. :) So he's an anon. So what. He does a great job. No reason to diminish that. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 14:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and write articles, however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 68.39.174.238/2005 Archive 2). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia.

Please note these points:

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on my Talk page – I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia.

[edit] Greetings

Yes, I have been following this guy since June of this year; I can demonstrate that but it will take a bit of research. He has hundreds of sockpuppets, and you have to track all their interlocking contributions; the pattern becomes clear when you see that they have identical IP ranges, identical interests, identical editing styles, and identical behavior. Even two kids in the same family, using the same computer, would show more differences than they do.

Regarding the user page: my personal philosophy is that unprotected userpages, especially those with "vandal counters", are troll magnets. No one else should have any reason to edit my user page; if they see something they want changed, they could ask me, and I'd probably change it. I like having a protected user page. Thanks for your help regarding that pest from NC. Best, Antandrus (talk) 03:46, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Just wanted to say it always makes me smile to see your reversions pop up on my watchlist—I love your edit summaries and especially the "RVC" (it makes me laugh to read your explanation above). By the way, it may be time to archive your talk page, if you so desire. And if you ever need someone to move a page for you or create an article or something, just let me know. — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I moved "United States Senate Pages" to United States Senate Page, and updated the links. Hope that's what you wanted. I'm sure it's frustrating, and I'm also sure you have your reasons. Let me know if you need anything else done; I'm happy to help. — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I, too, am one of your fans. Keep up the good work. -MPD 00:32, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
