My pleasure. No doubt, fighting vandalism and sometimes dealing with other editors can be frustrating. As long as we uphold WP:CIVIL, it's an enjoyable place. Ciao for now. PJM 20:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] comment from Lucifers hammer

From Lucifer's Hammer tks i will find better picturs note: i am young pls dont kick me i like adding things here and as you guest i am CANADIAN. just trying to help my fellow canadians tks—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucifers hammer (talk • contribs).

I personally don't see this as an attack. May I suggest that you not BITE the newbies? If this is not the personal attack you were referring to on the user's page, then never mind. Mak (talk) 05:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok, thanks very much for trying to help him out. Cheers, Mak (talk)

[edit] Leyasu

Leyasu is coming back from a 24 hours range block: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Block range against User:Leyasu. I will continue fighting him/her as long as I stay online today. You might want to ask another admin to keep an eye on these aticles, though. Maybe User:TUF-KAT, who does alot of wor in music coverage. Circeus 15:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I was reverting for the gramma and wording corrections. I was actually going through the EL in accordance with WP:EL before my friend came round and interrupted me. She just left so im planning on finishing up now.

[edit] Bob Dylan links

I'm not sure if you have the bob dylan page on your watch list or what, but I think your suggestion to me is decent. The thing is, the old list of external links had a fair few good ones in it, but with enough crap ones or random fan sites or places with overlapping information that the list was overwhelming. I might go through it when i get a day off from work on tues. if im not out playing in the ocean :) SECProto 23:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Metallica

Excuse me, but why don't you consider them "speed metal/thrash metal"? User:Egr (talk), 24/7/2006

Thanks for your explanation, FD. The next time I visit that page, I'll trying to do much more constructive changes. Bye. User:Egr (talk), 24/7/2006

Another thanks, FD. I've done that edit only because most Wiki pages about musicians never start with the stage name. User:Egr (talk), 24/7/2006

[edit] AC/DC

I've give him a talk page comment, which you probably should have done. Having discussions via edit summeries is frowned upon. Circeus 19:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

My apologies for involving you. I didn't realize the user would be as uncivil with an admin as he's been with everyone else. His sockpuppet accusations are getting stale. You gave the link for an CU but it went unheeded. At least that would have ended that part of the annoying chatter. Again, my apologies for introducing you to that particular user. For now he seems to have gone back under his bridge. Fair Deal 03:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, watch it buddy. I'm reporting you for uncivil comments for your bridge crack.NCC17 17:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Read, and understand, Wikipedia policies before you try and quote them. I took your personal webpage off my watchlist over a month ago. You are the owner now. You can edit it to your hearts content. Now, back under the bridge you go. Fair Deal 23:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2112

Let's try to work together on the article. 2112 is obviously a concept album. I mean, the story is explained in the aricle. It is a fairly detailed story, too. Can we work to some kind of compromise? dposse 04:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Sure. I was simply going by the "concept" definition indicating a consistent theme throughout. The concept tag has been added in on the main Rush article in the past and regular editors seem to be of the concensus that it isn't. It mirrors the debate over the album being tagged with the label "prog rock". Again, the regular Rush editors identified that side 1 is prog but side 2 was definitely not prog. Perhaps a better route would be to discuss the topic with one of the regular Rush editors: Wisdom89, KaptKos and admins Borghunter, Deckiller and Spangineer. All watch the Rush articles with great scrutiny and will know any "concensus" history when it comes to previous content debates. Fair Deal 11:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need Admin help

I've already told User:NCC17 that he should stop making these allegations on any and all user talk pages. In addition, I suggested to him that he should start a case to determine whether or not you were using several IPs to edit AC/DC. By doing that, the case can be settled for once and forever. For now, these two measures should do. However...if he makes allegations again on any page but WP:SSP, I'll make sure that he won't get away with it. —♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 06:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I've given him one final warning. On another note, for the sake of clarity please start making contributions while logged in.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 05:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Sorry, it just seemed a tad suspicious that the links were edited by an unregistered IP that seemed to have quite a lot of knowledge on Wikipedia. I was aware of the AC/DC External Links edit war, but I was not aware of NCC17's attacks against you in the past. I just made an assumption, based on the fact you could trace the IP (that edited the links recently) to the region you live. Hope there's no hard feelings, hope to see you around as well. Later :) HK51 17:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

And just FYI, I wasn't "sheeping" behind the leader, I just got quite agravated that the links had been edited again by someone who did not discuss it in the talkpage first. I was a bit quick to point the finger, but again it just seemed suspicious this had been done by an unregistered IP who appeared to have a lot of knowledge on Wikipedia guidelines. HK51 17:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

That's ok, I understand. Plus, my knowledge of the geography of Canada isn't the best! Yes, hope to see you around, good day! :) HK51 11:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Mike Gordon

I understand, as I have made such errors myself before. By all means edit away. The anons and SEGA don't get the fact that you can stil be a lyal Phish fan without denying and hiding Mike's arrest.... BabuBhatt 17:12, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Had to step out for the day. Thanks for doing the edit. Also, perhaps it's just me...but I think SEGA and "the anons" are one in the same. Anyways thanks again. Fair Deal 03:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re prog metal list

Maybe our IP friend could stop leaving false edit summaries and accusing me of vandalism and saying he is undoing my edits when I am not and they are not mine (yeah I know you shouldn't use wikipedia to prove a point but I don't believe I was really being disruptive as the links could either stay or go I don't really care and obviously somone thought they were being helpful by adding them). I only left that summary because thats how the user has reacted to my attempts for helpful edits in the past. By the way not all of those are fan sites either as you say. Anyways that user is making thousands of edits from a couple of different IPs probably at a library or computer lab or something, why don't they get an account? Besides so what if they can quote policy, there is more to wikipedia than quoting policy without going into detail as to why. For all I know maybe you are the same user or he is your friend outside of wikipedia or something and I am wasting my time typing this. I don't really care anymore. --E tac 07:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Guaranteed its not me. I don't travel 5000 miles just to edit Wikipedia. I see lots of edits from that IP range. Some appear to be static and there are over 5000 edits from 1 IP alone. And 1 of those IPs is in pretty tight with a half dozen admins and has been awarded a Barnstar for their edits. Has and Admin ever given you a Barnstar? They are a treasured editor(s) in the Wikipedia community. Why ruin it with a stupid made up nickname? My real name isn't Fair Deal. And yours isn't E Tac(unless your parents hated you when you were born) At the rate the east coast IP range is going....it's probably going to be the first IP to be voted as an Admin. BTW, your websites are all unauthorized and have no official affiliation with any of the artists listed on them = fansite. Good fansites. But fansites none the less. And fail WP:EL doing so in that they offer nothing to Wiki that isn't already here. Hope that helps. Fair Deal 01:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
