[edit] Thanks

Thanks for reverting those two edits to my user page. Acalamari 20:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. --Ed (Edgar181) 20:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Maleic anhydride.png

Hi Edgar, I've uploaded this image on commons and licensed it as "PD-self". I don't know if this licensing is correct: can you verify it, please? Thanks, --XXXL1986 15:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's correct. --Ed (Edgar181) 17:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attack page creation warning

Hi there, Is it a good idea to include the name of the person in the warning about the attack page at User talk:Faronandziska? (Since we do not wish to propogate the attack, and the original page itself will be deleted anyway). My warning was actually about the same page, BTW. Fourohfour 23:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I understand your concern, but in my opinion, it doesn't do any harm because the attack itself not visible - I only add the template after I delete the article. It may even be a good idea for the "victim" of the attack to be known. From a practical point of view, it helps avoid confusion about which article is being referred to. Also, the instructions on the category page Category:Attack_pages_for_speedy_deletion say to use the {{attack}} template, which is what I did. Let me know what you think. --Ed (Edgar181) 23:37, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I see, yeah. Fair point, although I don't know if it was intended for discretion to be used or not when including the article name. Fourohfour 23:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
You make an interesting point. The use of {{attack}} is fairly widespread. If you're interested in other people's opinions on its use (or wording) a good place to start a discussion about it would be Wikipedia talk:Template messages/User talk namespace. --Ed (Edgar181) 00:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IP adress block reccomended

IP adresses 206.131.56.156 and 207.225.62.126 should be blocked from editing in Wikipedia permanently. These are from a middle school and are pouring vandalism into pages of Wikipedia. This will prevent future attacks and time wasted by having to fix the pages.

A student at this school, (a non-vandal) --Benjwgarner 21:59, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Both of those IP addresses are already in the middle of 1 or 2 month blocks that prevent anonymous editing. (Logged-in users are still free to edit.) We'll wait and see what happens when those blocks expire - Wikipedia policy is to block for ongoing vandalism and not for anticipated vandalism. But thanks for the heads-up - I'll keep those IPs on my watchlist and block promptly if the vandalism starts up again. --Ed (Edgar181) 22:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks again!

Thanks for the AIV response! :P Kyaa the Catlord 00:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. --Ed (Edgar181) 00:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Patrick Higgins

Could you send me the content of my page entitled "Patrick Higgins"? It's my only copy. Thank you.

Since you don't have email enabled, I put it on your user page. You can just copy it and then blank the page if you don't want it there. --Ed (Edgar181) 23:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the revert

Thanks. Even though it was pretty obvious, I didn't want to remove a sock notice from my own page. Appreciate the help. --Onorem 15:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. But I wouldn't worry about reverting anything like that on your own page. --Ed (Edgar181) 15:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable

My point is, who is to say who is notable. The people I listed have had a profound effect on many lives, and they are alumni from AHS. There are countless National Merit students, students who have received community service awards, students who are making a name for themselves in arts and entertainment. Is it fair to list only those who achieved some status in a sporting event as notable? Either change the description "Notable" to "Alumni I feel should be named" or allow anyone of note to be added to the list. - Thededitor

[edit] IP block

Hi, sorry I'm not more clear on the whole dealing with vandalism procedure, but I noticed you previously blocked this ip and it has been blocked a number of times before then... yet vandalism continues. This may not be considered a very serious case, but I thought I'd mention it. The IP is 216.56.3.162. If you have suggestions on correctly dealing with this sort of thing, I'd like to hear those as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.192.134.182 (talk) 17:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

I hate to say it, but vandalism from that IP is not actually that bad. Nevertheless, I have applied a one month block to it. In the future, warn vandals (standard warnings can be found here: WP:TT) and then report them to WP:AIV if they persist. You can also read WP:VAND for a general overview of how Wikipedia tries to deal with vandalism. --Ed (Edgar181) 17:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:Angela51194

Hey, there. I was watching recent changes in user talk for more of this guy, but happened to see you blocked this one -- I recently removed a report from AIV pertaining to this user, since they only had one visible edit, and needless to say, I didn't check their talk page at the time, and it's obvious I made a mistake with that. Good catch. – Luna Santin (talk) 22:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the one edit made me curious. Checking the user page made it obvious why the report was made to AIV. --Ed (Edgar181) 23:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nitrogen

i was changing the I LIKE EGGGS on nitrogen because that was.... uncorrect should i say. GamedevilKZ (User: Gamedevil)

Sorry. My mistake. It looks like I mixed up your edits with those of the IP that was vandalizing. --Ed (Edgar181) 17:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Block reasons

Please use {{schoolblock}} as your blocking reason for school IPs, especially 1 & 6 month blocks, otherwise the unblock-en-l mailing list gets flooded with irate or confused emails from school staff and innocent students. I'd appreciate it if you would go back and update the reasons on your most recent blocks. Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  17:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

OK. I've been adding the template to the talk page, but not in the text of the reason for the block. I've gone back to my recent month+ blocks and added the template as the blocking reason - and will continue to do so from now on. --Ed (Edgar181) 18:07, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Film cat vandalism

Hello, I noticed you helped out at Category:Croatian language films and Category:Serbian language films. Could you give User:SISLEY a warning? On two separate occassions he has used "self-delete" tags for categories I have started. Apparently, he's a new user, so he probably doesn't know how dispute-resolution works (or verfiability, for that matter) but he still shouldn't be using dirty tactics to get a speedy delete enforced. Thanks. --Thewanderer 12:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, done. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Those categories are in Serbo-Croatian-language films, the person who created those categories forgot a dash —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SISLEY (talk • contribs) 14:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC).

I'm not taking any sides on whether it should be deleted or not. But speedy deletion of a disputed category is not appropriate. Please take it to WP:CFD. --Ed (Edgar181) 15:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
THE CATEGORY IS ALREADY CREATED —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SISLEY (talk • contribs).
That doesn't matter. Please discuss it at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_March_13#Category:Croatian_language_films. --Ed (Edgar181) 18:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merck mission

the problem is that wihtout the qualifier, it is advertising for merck, which, i think, is not the job of an encyclpedia. what is your view ?Cinnamon colbert 00:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you that it needs the qualifier, but it is already right there in the first part of the first sentence. --Ed (Edgar181) 00:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK question

According to Rigadoun, bergamottin is just shy of the 1500 characters required for featuring in the DYK section of the main page. Could you fix that. It sounds really interesting and it would be a shame if this one wasn't featured. Don't forget to leave a note in the relevant section of T:TDYK if you decide to update the article. - Mgm|(talk)

OK, done. I think it's a bit silly that an interesting article wouldn't be featured because it was 1470 characters instead of 1500, but I went ahead and added a little to it to put it over the top. --Ed (Edgar181) 11:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning:Category:Serbian language films

I've undeleted the cat; someone should probably bring this up at CfD, as you said. Cheers. Lectonar 16:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. It's on CFD now: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_March_13#Category:Croatian_language_films. --Ed (Edgar181) 16:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ode to the helpful admin

I spend a lot of time patrolling Recent Changes,
Looking for destruction that's been wrought on our pages,
There are more silly people than I could possibly handle,
So thank you blocking this annoying vandal. --Dweller 16:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

That's great! Thanks. --Ed (Edgar181) 16:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
And this one too. User:Bedmod4anded. Cheers again. --Dweller 14:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning:Category:Serbian language films

A last warning for what? You guys have invented new languages and you didn't pay attention to the rest of the categories of films by language, as I repeated several times, I didn't create the categories, if you have problems with them, you should complain to the people who created the categories of films by language.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by SISLEY (talk • contribs).

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 18 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bergamottin, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Chemical structures

Hi Edgar18,

I have seen that you are contributing many exceptionally good chemical structures. If it is possible, could you please upload all of them to the Commons at high resolution (like the recent numbered ones). That way all Wikipedia languages could use them. Cacycle 00:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been meaning to upload many of them for awhile, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll start with the numbered heterocycles. --Ed (Edgar181) 11:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Ed, I just wanted to say thanks (again) for drawing chemical images for the pages that I tagged recently! -- Quantockgoblin 16:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome. --Ed (Edgar181) 17:11, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the quick attention to the user vandalising my page. Keep making Wikipedia great :) --YbborT 01:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. --Ed (Edgar181) 01:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Explanation?

Can you explain your block of user:Sammycon, please? I'm not doubting you, I just want more details. DS 21:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

75.41.209.88 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) was blocked for repeated vandalism of Sean Hannity despite repeated warnings. Then Sammycon (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) immediately showed up and made the same edits, received several more warnings, but continued the vandalism, so I blocked him. A simple case of vandalism. I'm surprised that another admin unblocked him without even consulting me. But I'm not surprised that he then had to be quickly reblocked within minutes for continuing to abuse edit priviledges. --Ed (Edgar181) 23:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] tert-Butylhydroquinone

I completely missed that the article tert-Butylhydroquinone had been blanked. Thanks for catching that and for your cleanup work. Adm58 19:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I got suspicious when I noticed that it didn't have any categories. --Ed (Edgar181) 19:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Socks

This user you recently blocked, [1] I think he has created a sock here, [2] thanks. Artaxiad 21:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

That account is now blocked for vandalism. Thanks for letting me know. --Ed (Edgar181) 22:53, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Isothiazole.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Isothiazole.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Article clearence

Hi Edgar181 i just wanted you to give a go or nogo on this article Fanny Smaking

Is where groupe of people assault citizens in the street. It is done with no weapons just kicking and punching till the victim is severly injuerd and imobilized.Then the group leaves.

Source: seen on csi lost vegas. pls tell me what you think.Redknight26

Personally, if I saw an article such as this, I would recommend merging it into something like assault. --Ed (Edgar181) 15:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
