[edit] Hardy Boys books AfD

I have added to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Running on Empty (Hardy Boys novel) additional nominations for the other simialr articles created at the same time by the same editor. You may wish to revisit the discussion in light of this. DES (talk) 05:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of countries by military expenditures

Hello, there is an anonymous user that keeps reverting the page List of countries by military expenditures, removing the European Union figure, against the consensus. I would propose the page for semi-protection. Thanks --giandrea 20:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Reverted again.... left a final warning on the IP's page. Also noticed the 3rd level warning on your talk page: struck & annotated it. --Auto(talk / contribs) 02:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR Reports

In the future, please add your 3RR violation reports to WP:AN3. Thanks! alphachimp 12:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Report moved. Thank you, --Auto(talk / contribs) 12:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
No, he has already been blocked. That was just for future reference. alphachimp 12:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RFCN for Fenian Swine

(In reply to User talk:Ben#RFCN for Fenian Swine)

Would you please identify the person who voted twice on the page? The article is very long and hard to find that needle in the haystack. --Auto(talk / contribs) 22:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I added links to my comment: first and second votes. -- BenTALK/HIST 23:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you much... it appears that was pertinent to my comment about the socks issue, so I've struck out my notice. Much appreciated. --Auto(talk / contribs) 23:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC cloak request

I am autocracy on freenode and I would like the cloak wikimedia/Autocracy. Thanks. --Auto(talk / contribs) 00:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal

I enjoyed your handling of User:Sebas5431, including the AIV report. I half hoped that if I ignored him and didn't respond to his "challenge", he would get bored and go away. Alas, it was not to be.--Kubigula (talk) 05:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning vandals at Piracy

Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thank you. --AW 15:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Guess I missed one... but I usually manage to land the warnings :) --Auto(talk / contribs) 16:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Vandal Warning

Thanks. I think I'm a bit cranky and I feel like zapping vandals on first sight, that's where the warning came from. (I think that this may be due in part to the fact that I had surgery earlier this week.)  ~Steptrip 23:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rhodie

Interested in finding what you considered strong POV on the article Rhodie dated 22:17, 5 April 2007. I would like to point out that the original article was laced with strong POV attitudes toward Rhodesians which actually seemed to legitimate a derogatory and racist POV toward Rhodesians. Although racism is in itself not necessarily illigitimate, defining a derogatory and contemptable word toward another group as accurate does seem stretching beyond the truth. It would be equivelent to defining the word nigger as an accurate representation of blacks. I find it interesting that throughout wikipedia this hypocrasy is prevelent when directed toward derogatory words directed at European, specifically British and German nationalities. Why do you think Rhodesians left their homeland after it was submerged under the larger multi-tribal black state of Zimbabwe? Do Rhodesians still living in their homeland feel that they are white Zimbabweans or Rhodesians? Most former Rhodesians I have spoken to consider themselves to be a separate nation that is now in exile. Do you think this is accurate and if so or not why? Are Rhodesians living as Zimbabwean citizens an oppressed minority under the Mugabe dictatorship? If not why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.230.2.152 (talk) 23:34, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

Posted my comments on the talk page last night to avoid an edit war. Editors more familiar with the article are reviewing your changes. I'll keep watch, but ultimately your changes don't look helpful to me. --Auto(talk / contribs) 12:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:67.9.18.119

I'd already semi-protected the talk page as your message arrived. They won't cause any further grief. Cheers. -- Longhair\talk 00:20, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BJAODN

Where does it say I can't have that fake new messages on my talk page? It's been there for awhile, and some people said they even laughed after falling for it. TJ Spyke 01:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I brought it up with a few other editors... nobody seems to really have anything against it. I figure it's mildly amusing, but we'd have been better off without. Either way, thanks for asking and it's back in place. --Auto(talk / contribs) 01:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfC

I'll be happy to certify that, when it's finished of course. Don't suppose you could activate an email address, there's something you might want to know about the situation, and I'm not prepared to post it on Wiki for various reasons. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 03:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Email isn't working yet, might take some time for the system to catch up especially based on recent events. If you take a look at the RfC I created you'll get a better idea of how it could be set out. You definitely need the evidence of trying and failing to resolve the dispute, which would be my posts on their talk page plus the ANI posts. The description just needs to be a slightly longer and more in-depth version of the statement of the dispute. One Night In Hackney303 03:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for volunteering to help with the project. We still have to figure out what data we want to gather, but when we do we would be grateful to any help you can provide. Remember 14:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
