[edit] Gibson Melody Maker link

Thanks for the info on the new Melody Maker! I've edited the article to include it. The page is now among the "References", so I removed it from "External Links". Thanks again for helping to keep the article current! Respectfully, SamBlob 12:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zodiac killer

Your addition of the external link has been reverted per WP:MOS. That site is already used as a reference, and can thus not be reused as an external link. Jeffpw 08:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't realize that. Thank you for informing me. Bsroiaadn 08:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Swiftness

I don't know how you do it, but you seem to beat me to nearly every revert against vandalism. Haha. I would give you the barnstar, but I'm not even sure where to go to get the template for it. If/when I find it, I will be sure to award it to you, though. Bsroiaadn 08:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

That's quite all right. I have far too many barnstars anyway. Though for future reference, see Wikipedia:Barnstars. Thanks – Qxz 08:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

I'm reverting a known banned user. This has been a persistent problem that Thatcher131 is aware of [1]. In a new twist, the user has actually posted on Thatcher131's talk page effectively admitting to being the banned user [2] and expressing contempt for the Arbom decision.

As I understand it there is no limit to how many times a banned user's attempts to disrupt a page can be reverted. I assume Thatcher131 is off-line right now. I am hoping he will semi-protect the page when he gets back.

Please confirm that this is acceptable.

Thanks & regards Bksimonb 16:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

If it is to combat vandalism, then it is fine to revert a page as many times as needed. The Three-revert rule article says it is perfectly acceptable to revert a page as many times, as need be, if it is due to vandalism, as long as it is obvious vandalism. Bsroiaadn 16:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, report him as using another name to get around the ban. That is also against the rules. Bsroiaadn 16:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism Removal

I'm afraid your script "Twinkle" is reverting a large section of the article Stochelo Rosenberg that has been plagiarized. Please see the article's discussion page. I've since re-removed the section, but it may happen again. dq 18:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I find a lot of people just delete stuff for no reason. I apologize. I figured it was another case of someone deleting things because they're testing wikipedia or they delete it to put a single sentence that isn't very good, or something of that sort. I will be more careful. Bsroiaadn 09:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
No problem, at least an edit war did not ensue. dq 15:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Gibson Blackbird

Thank you for the amazing compliment! I'm not sure how good an example I am, though. I've only been here a few months, and I'm not too certain of all the rules yet. Good luck with all your endeavours! Respectfully, SamBlob 01:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] dont try do shut my mouse

If you had referenced it, it would have been fine. Find a reference first. If I put it as vandalism, sorry. Bsroiaadn 09:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I didn't even report it as vandalism, just find a reference next time. I'm more concerned about the fax machine claim than the jewish ancestry claim, but both need references. To anyone reading this, the article we're talking about is Arthur Korn. Bsroiaadn 09:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome

...and congrats on having your page vandalized. I think it's a sure sign that you are doing a good job with vandal patrol.--Kubigula (talk) 15:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yup you too mate. SilverNightFire 10:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you note

Thanks for your words, I appreciate it a lot, specially because I don't know you, and you still cared, and dedicated a moment of your life to leave me a note. Thank you. Now, just for curiosity, how did you get to my userpage? AlexCovarrubias ( Let's talk! ) 17:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Do you mind if I use any of these?

I saw this page in recent edits and got curious, so I clicked it. Do you mind if I use any of those images? I don't want to use them without your permission. Bsroiaadn 02:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your query. They are intended to be displayed in a userpage template I have made; you can add this to your own userpage using {{User:Qxz/ad.css}}. I have set up an information page at User:Qxz/Ads; see that for details. You are free to use the individual images as you wish, provided you comply with the license terms for those images which have a license (as far as internal use within Wikipedia is concerned, you can do anything you want). Thanks – Qxz 02:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning placed on User talk:Fashelfer re: Michael Shelfer

Hello, I am a fellow RCP editor who noticed the edits on the Michael Shelfer article by his father. Fashelfer is not fully up to speed with Wikipedian policy. Still, that does not excuse his blanking and removal of maintenance tags to his son's article. I have tried to explain WP:COI as best I can to him. I would like to suggest to you that he is not yet up to a Level Three warning (although it is close depending upon an editor's interpretation of his actions). I would like to intercede for him and ask that you reduce your warning by one level. Of course, I will respect your opinion and will await your response here on your talkpage. Cheers, Ronbo76 01:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, yea, sure. No problem. I went back and reduced it right after reading this. I put it to level 2. Thanks for explaining the circumstances. I wasn't aware of all of that. Bsroiaadn 06:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, it's been a busy day for me. I had a fever earlier today and then got caught up in seeing his son's article being editted. I felt like a one-armed paper hanger at times. I really appreciate your demonstration of leniency towards this user. Cheers, Ronbo76 06:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
It's no problem man, any time. I hope you feel better and get well soon. Bsroiaadn 07:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

To Ronbo76, Bsroiaadn and RHaworth:

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate your willingness to educate me to the policies of Wikipedia. Had I had prior knowledge of the policies, I would not have posted the article to begin with. Now, I understand. Historically, I've experienced hostile attacks against a website on the Internet and also virus attacks against my own personal computer. Anti-virus software has cost me plenty over the years. When RHaworth redirected the link, applied the COI tag and made his comments, I reacted defensively because I perceived it to be a personal and hostile attack against the posting. If I own Mr. RHaworth an apology, then of course, I apologize. I would have preferred Mr. RHaworth to have had the courtesy to have sent me a brief note explaining the reason for his actions. At least that would have been the more professional way to have conducted his edit. In the future if the article remains on Wikipedia, I'll take no further action with respect to editing or changing the article in any way. If the managing editors of Wikipedia feel the article is in violation of Wikipedia convention and its continued existence on Wikipedia has no merit, then they should remove it; the sooner, the better. I would prefer its removal to having it continue to exist with the COI moniker on it. Once again, thank you for your willingness to educate me and the time it took you to do it. (FAShelfer 18:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Dear Wik-Idiot

For Future Reference: Please be advised that one cannot, by definition, vandalize their own talk page. 14thArmored 17:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm not. You can vandalize your own talk page. If you delete LEGITIMATE comments, it's considered vandalism. If it's stuff like people asking you questions or whatever, then it's not. But when you delete WARNINGS it is. Bsroiaadn 17:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Technically, it's okay for the user to delete warnings (especially if they came before a subsequent block and are thus moot). It's not in good taste, but it's not disallowed by policy either. Leebo T/C 17:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Yea, I was reading up on it again to make sure. Sorry about that 14thArmored. Still, I'm pretty sure calling me a "wik-idiot", as you did on my talk page, is a personal attack. Bsroiaadn 18:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apology

The ability to admit an error and learn from it is not repeat not a characteristic of a wik-idiot. I hereby apologize for my previous comment in this respect, and withdraw it without reservation. I commend you for your honesty. 14thArmored 18:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you and I accept your apology. I apologize as well for the mistake. Bsroiaadn 18:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About deleting warning messages

Can you please show me where it says you are allowed to or where it says that it's not against the rules to? I'm trying to find it to show someone, but can't find it at the moment. I'll keep looking, but if you know where it is, please give me the link. I'll be checking your talk, so just reply here. I ask you cause you're the one who informed me that it is allowed, so I figured you might already know exactly where it states that. Bsroiaadn 05:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

From Wikipedia:User page: On a user's own talk page, policy does not prohibit the removal of comments at that user's discretion, although archival is preferred to removal. Please note, though, that removing warnings from one's own talk page is often frowned upon.
So, basically, it's not a good idea, and everyone has a right to be a little annoyed by a user removing warnings, but it's not explicitly disallowed, only frowned upon. Leebo T/C 05:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Alright, thank you very much. Bsroiaadn 05:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mayor Quimby

When a user repeatedly removes block notices and other relevant conversations while he is blocked, people can revert that user's edits. This sort of action constitutes "disruption", and according to Wikipedia protection policy, the user talk page can be blocked for the duration of the block. Also, Mayor Quimby made legal threats to a number of administrators involved in his block, and that is clearly against Wikipedia rules. Nishkid64 22:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm just gonna reply here since it wouldn't tell you if I replied in an archive. Anyway, if there were these edits going on, why not just log the page? I'm not sure if you're an admin or not, but you should have gotten one to do so if it was really that disruptive. I'm not sure how removing a block notice makes any difference, to be honest. He's blocked, removing a block notice won't let him edit anything anyway. Plus, people could always check the block logs. I wasn't aware of the legal threads, though. That is definitely unacceptable. I like your signature, by the way....just saying. Bsroiaadn 04:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I was the admin who originally blocked him. After I blocked the user, he repeatedly blanked his page and added some hateful things about other admins/editors involved, which I thought constitutes disruption. I fully protected his page and I let it expire at the time he was unblocked. He continued with his disruption on his talk page shortly thereafter and he made legal threats against me and other admins, which prompted the indefinite block. Anyway, he just basically blanked his page repeatedly, and that was the problem. When a user is blocked, he is not allowed to remove relevant discussions regarding his block or other stuff. Nishkid64 14:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I wasn't aware of any of that, I think I understand now, though. Sorry about that. Oh well, I learned from this. Bsroiaadn 18:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry about that

I notcied that you said I vandalized a page. It's not a big deal to me but, when I first logged in, I was on a school computer and forgot to sign out on it. I think one of the other imature kids might have done it. Middle school has some crazy 2 years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The SOAD Fan (talkcontribs).

It's all good man. Just be more careful about it next time. It stinks that they did that instead of just signing you out, though. Oh well, like I said, just be more careful next time so it doesn't happen again. Bsroiaadn 18:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism on Bend It Like Beckham

I was doing a vandalism patrol at the same time - the changes, while massive, do appear valid. I'd recommend undoing the rv. MojoTas 03:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Question On Super Sentai

[edit] Who is this?

I know absolutely nothing about this show except that it seems Power Rangers was somehow adapted from this show but for American audiences. Anyway, I was wondering, in this picture what is the name of the character in the white suit with the partial-rainbow in a triangle shape on his chest and helmet? If you wouldn't mind replying on my talk page, because I might lose the link to this page somehow, that would be great. Even if it's just like "I answered your question on Talk:Super_Sentai", ya know? Anyway, I'll try to not lose this link, but I asked just incase you would be willing to. Thank you. Bsroiaadn 20:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

His name is Big One. Super Sentai has been running for 15 seasons prior to the first season PR adapted; our season 15 (Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive) was adapted from their season 30 (GoGo Sentai Boukenger). Big One came from Sentai's second season, J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, which aired in 1977. He was basically a "sixth" style additional Ranger, and the very first example of the add-on Ranger formula, although he was #5 there; that season started with only four heroes. The pic you linked was a teamup with multiple heroes from previous seasons; it's where the idea for the US episode Forever Red came from. He showed back up for the ep. Arrow 20:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
D:Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Haha. Thank you both very much. :-) Bsroiaadn 20:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Heads Up

I answered your question on Talk:Super Sentai.  :) Arrow 20:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Super Sentai

The guy in the white suit is Soukichi Banba or "Big One" from J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai. He never appeared in Power Rangers because the series he is from was started in 1977. In case you are curious, the other characters are Yuusuke Amamiya/Red Falcon from Choujuu Sentai Liveman, Miku Imamura/MegaPink from Denji Sentai Megaranger, Gouki/GingaBlue of Seijuu Sentai Gingaman, and Daimon Tatsumi/GoYellow of Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the other parts about the record in Martin Brodeur. I forgot about those. I'm glad someone realized I didn't fix them. Bsroiaadn 01:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm assuming you are a Devils fan seeing as we were both editing the page a second after the game ended. Thanks for the team loyalty and we both know that "Marty's better!" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JRWalko (talkcontribs) 1:59, April 6, 2007 (UTC).
