Stables and tag teams

I think that would probably work better: even though current teams and stables would be small, compared to former teams/stables. Currently, WWE only has a handful of them, as does TNA and other promotions. Teams in one section, stables in another for each article would probably work best. RobJ1981 01:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Response

Hi, Moe. I'm so sorry for late response. I am pretty busy in my real life, and had many tests in schools. I apologize for late response. Anyways, How are you doing? I occassionally check my messages here, but I didn't have time to response your messages, and when your school will start Winter Break? Daniel5127 <Talk> 02:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Same as mine My school will start winter break next week, but will start on Jan. 8. Daniel5127 <Talk> 02:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Question and comments about wrestling teams/stables

I thought an admin was going to delete the list page (from what you posted on the talk page)? Or are you waiting to make the new article(s)? I suppose it's smart to just wait anyway, since many teams probably should go. It would save some time when making a table for the new things. I noticed Fire and Ice is gone now, so that's a good start to this team cleanup. A prod I placed on Christian and Tyson Tomko was removed, so I'm sending it to AFD. Granted they are a duo in TNA currently, they still haven't done much. All relevant and notable information can go into their pages (if not in them already). I believe prods are on several teams still, so it's likely a prod deletion could work for some (I'm hoping at least). This "tag team cruft" needs to be eliminated from Wikipedia. RobJ1981 06:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Moral support?

I must say that I'm somewhat surprised that you are voting moral support at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Vote/PMA. I really dislike the "moral support" votes, but at least often there can be some rationale behind them. But giving moral support to somebody whose entire effort in running for ArbCom is a single sentence that can be boiled down to "I've been here five years" is beyond the pale. Maybe you see this differently, but when I support a candidate, I'm putting some of my credibility on the line to do so. Your credibility, at least in my eyes, has taken a hit for your support of this non-candidate. I've given credence to your opinion in the past, and will do so in the future, but not quite so much as before when I see you supporting or opposing an RfA nominee or another ArbCom candidate. —Doug Bell talk 08:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champions

I am not and was never looking to start trouble, all I am trying to do is expand a definition based on fact and references.

The Triple Crown and the Grand Slam are what we have been going back and forth on.

My contention is that The Intercontinental and United States Championships are equal and thus are interchangeable when when deciding a Crown/Slam.

You say no because WWE never explicitly came out and said so.

On 8-4-06, JBL said he was a Slam winner. A WWE wrestler on WWE TV said he accomplished a WWE sanctioned feat.

It was said that no outside source has verified this, but no one in WWE has disputed JBL's claim either.

Also it must be pointed out that PWI has always considered the two championships as equal.

When PWI used to do their rankings for WWF and WCW, the I-C and U.S. Titles were always listed as automatic number one contenders for their respective World Champions. The same holds true today when they do the rankings for Raw (I-C) and Smackdown (U.S.).

PWI is considered the main source for what is considered a "World Title" and their word is law here on Wikipedia.

They also have always maintained that the I-C and U.S. Championships are of equal value and of equal standing.

As I have said before, I am not trying to vandalize or add nonsense to Wikipedia, only enhance it with an updated definition based on consensus and fact, based on logic and references.

JBL, PWI, and many other wiki users have backed up this definition. (Look at the Triple Crown Champion Discussion page).

All I ask is my contribution be allowed to stand as I respectfully feel that I am in the right on this one.

Thank you for your time.

per cscwem

Hi, Moe. I'm particularly sensitive about people asking me about the reasons for my votes. So I won't be offended if you are, or decline to answer (heck, I walk that line frequently). It is my hope, though, that our past history will put aside the notion that I'm grilling you over the coals. I found your vote opposing CSCWEM today. I was wondering if you could explain to me what I've missed. I personally voted against him for administratorship, on the basis that he simply did not need it to continue the work he was doing. He still doesn't. And frankly, I oppose most RFAs. In this case, though, I've interacted with him a lot and find him to be (I hate to use the term) a real "standup kind of guy." If you'd deign to explain to me, I'd be most grateful. Thanks, Alex. ... aa:talk 09:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

You know, I mostly agree with everything you've said. I think the one perception difference we have is that I see him interacting with a lot of users in the process of all those revert edits. But, your point is valid. Thanks for letting me know. ... aa:talk 22:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Question

I was reccomended here by Big Boss 0 for information on how to download images to wikipedia. Could you please tell me how. I woul greatly appriciate it. User: Nightmare 81

User:Vlh

I've blocked Vlh 48 hours for his disruptive edits to wrestling articles, as he still refuses to provide sourcing or discuss the matter with other editors. If he continues to edit in this manner after his return, please let me know. | Mr. Darcy talk 15:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Could you help Me?

In the discussion section on the John Cena page I found the following comment:

  • "I suspect that User: Crazy Commander is a sockpuppet of User: You're The Man Now Dog.204.42.20.85 20:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)"

Could you tell me how I should handle this? I checked the John Cena page history and found that the attacks were similar. Could you please tell me how it should be handled? User: Big Boss 0

I still didn't understand what you said so could you please do it for me and tell me how to later. User: Big Boss 0

For the Arbitration Committee --Srikeit 05:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm willing to be nice about this

First of all, I'm not trying to get under anyone's skin or be disruptive to Wikipedia; all I'm trying to do is add information to make an article as encyclopediac as possible. WWE has put the WWE Tag Team Championship on the same level as the World Tag Team Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship on the same level as the WWE Championship. Now, I am willing to be fair and let ECW World Title go, as it's still a new title and PWI doesn't recognize it yet as a World Title. However, I must continue to argue for the US Championship, as it has been around for the past few years and WWE AND PWI have both recognized the US Championship to be equal to the IC Championship. We know this because, not only did JBL himself call himself a Triple Crown Champion (don't forget, Shawn Michaels called himself a Grand Slam Champion), but Big Show has also been called a Triple Crown Champion, and he never won the Intercontinental Championship, only the United States Championship. And, Big Show's page lists him being a Triple Crown Champion, and his page is in the Triple Crown Champion category. WWE Tag Team and World Heavyweight Championships are both eligible for Triple Crown; why not US Title? There's only about 9 months difference between the creation of the WWE Tag Team titles and the US t itle. Is 9 months really that much of a time issue? Ultimately, what would silence this whole debate is if WWE put up a list of Triple Crown Champions; but until they do, isn't it up to us to decide things? Anakinjmt 23:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down here. Now, if you had read correctly, you would have read that I was willing to be nice about this. I'm not going to resort to a petty edit war, as that is stupid and pointless. For sources, where's the sources for the list of champions right now? That's not there. The article has already been tagged. For providing the sources...you know that WWE.com hasn't listed any of the superstars as being Triple Crown champions, and I've never read PWI, I only know this from other people that have shown me scans...and NO, I don't mean other people here. I'm talking about people on wrestling forums and such that get the magazine and have shown scans. As for JBL, being a Grand Slam Champion requires you to be a Triple Crown Champion, and Big Show didn't call himself a Triple Crown Champion, but he's been referred to as one before (JR, Michael Cole, etc.). I couldn't tell you when because I honestly don't have an airdate, but I do recall them calling him one before. Relax, no need to go banning people because you don't agree with them. I'm not here to cause trouble, as I've said before, so I would appreciate it if you would stop treating me like that's all I'm out to do. I'm just someone who feels like people should be given due credit for their accomplishments. Anakinjmt 00:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Triple Crown Championship

By the very definition, the US title must be accepted as part of the Triple Crown. It is a midcard title. The Wikipedia article has at least one flaw in it. The flaw is either not including the US title as a step towards achieving it, or recognizing wrestlers who haven't won the IC title as only needing one of the others to achieve it. John Cena is one of the most notable people on that list, as he is listed as only needing a tag title reign, but he hasn't won the IC title. I wasn't using OR; I was just paying enough attention to realize that the article contradicts itself. -- THLR 00:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

TC Champions email

Has Big Boss forwarded the E-mail to you yet? I trust him, but it seems odd to have received an E-mail back around Christmas time. Cheers, -- THL 23:54, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

That is understandable; however, there seems to be a consensus to include the US title in the article with or without sources. It is generally acknowledged that the US title counts towards the TC, and I don't see why it should be left out because there aren't any websites that say it does. In my opinion, WP:IAR also applies to this situation. I know that the IAR thing is usually used as a bullshit answer, but in this case I do feel that it actually applies. Common sense says that the US title counts, consensus says to add it to the article, JBL and the Big Show have both been called TC champions on the TV shows, so leaving it out hurts the article. That is why WP:IAR applies. "If policy gets in the way of improving the article, ignore it." That is my opinion. Cheers, -- THL 00:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually nevermind. -- THL

That is very suspicious. Recently, Big Boss has been asking me the most efficient ways to destroy Wikipedia with vandalism, claiming that he wanted to know his enemy after I asked him why. He deleted that question from his talk page after responding. All I did was say that it was impossible to destroy it, and I put over AntiVandalBot, but I am growing suspicious. Is this grounds for a check user? -- THL 00:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The nevermind, I want to deal with Big Boss before stirring this up again. I have taught him about VandalProof, and if he gets approved for it in the near future, and our suspicions turn out to be true, then he could cause some damage. He specifically asked why vandals don't wait to get a tool like that before going on a rampage. If he is a sockpuppet of that user, I want to know now. Cheers, -- THL 00:21, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I think that you should. I have never done that kind of thing before. Cheers, and thanks. -- THL 00:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to be leaving tomorrow for a vacation, so I won't be around to see how it turns out. I'll be back after the first. Cheers, -- THL 04:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you wrote on THL's talk page that you had me checked to see if I was a sock of Big Boss. First of all, let me assure you that I am not. If you check my IP, you can see I'm from Michigan. Second, I'm not offended that you did, as it appeared my edits were very similar to his. I just happen to agree with him concerning the US title for the TC criteria. I am still looking for a viable source, and so far I've found one thing, but I want to check it out more before I present it, as I've never heard of it before (but that may not mean anything) and I want to make sure it's a good source. Also, I'm sorry if I was part of the reason you left beforehand. I will admit, I was frustrated that you didn't allow the US title in and I thought you were hiding behind the no original research policy, but I see now that you're using that as a check so it can be the best accurate. While I still feel the same about the US title, I understand the need for some sort of verification. However, I do wish to know if you personally believe it should be in there. Just so I know you're not totally against it, but you just want to play it safe and have a confirmed source agree with you or not. Anakinjmt 20:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

As much as I have revealing my location I am from Illinois. Big Boss 0 00:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Despite the fact that I was never accused of being a sockpuppet, I will go ahead and say that I am from Arizona. My IP address will be given upon request assuming that the requestor has a good reason. Also, I have removed the strikethrough from my previous comment, and I would like to go ahead and stir this up again. Cheers, -- THL 04:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

If you get a reply from the WWE stating that the US Title counts, then will you be willing to ignore the NOR policy? It may not count as a source, but it would certainly answer all of your fears. If so, then I will drop this. Cheers, -- THL 06:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to add it to the article without a source, alright. What I was saying about the E-mail is that even though it doesn't count as a source, it guarantees that we won't be making a mistake when adding it to the article, and that is what really matters. If the E-mail is from the WWE, then it is reliable plain and simple. If we know for fact that the US title counts towards the TC, then it is our responsibility to ignore the rules and add it to the article. -- THL 06:59, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I haven't e-mailed them. I was just asking whether or not you would add it if they replied to you. -- THL 07:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Under extraordinary circumstances (such as receiving a personal email from a multi-billion dollar company confirming what others have been suspecting) it is OK to ignore the rules for the good of an article. -- THL 07:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Alright. -- THL 07:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Your message on Talk:Dvorak keyboard

Hey Moe Epsilon. I noticed your inquisitive comment on this page. For some strange reason, Talk:Dvorak keyboard was constantly targeted by spambots recently and was deleted 4 times in less than a month. If you're an admin, you may check the history of deleted edits. Regards,--Húsönd 01:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

It used to be a redirect alright. I tried to restore the redirect after protecting the page but apparently it didn't work while the {{sprotected2}} template was hanging there. I could of course have restored the redirect if I simply removed the template, but then I guess I was concerned that other admins would not know that the protection was intended to last longer than usual. Oh well, maybe I'll just do that after all. Thanks for reminding me of this odd situation. I really have no idea why was this particular page so avidly attacked, it's not like it's going to attract a lot of potential customers after spam. By the way, I also found it rather odd that you're not an admin. You certainly seem qualified for adminship, maybe you're just not interested? Regards--Húsönd 02:26, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Format for List of professional wrestling stables and tag teams?

I'm not sure if you forgot about the article or not, but it still needs some kind of format. I was thinking a similar type of table as the promotions page, then broken down into sections: active teams, active stables, inactive teams and inactive stables. Teams and stables are different things, so that format should be the one used (unless something better can be come up with). RobJ1981 05:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Random Informaton

Re: Tam Pierce. It's hardly random information. It's the start of an article about a very old and well known folk song. It's also linked to an album by Burl Ives, which in turn is linked to the discography in the Burl Ives entry. I noted that the "article" was a stub; I had planned to come back to it later. Chironomia 23 January 2007

Re: Copyright. True folk songs are in the public domain. But let's do without the lyrics for now. I can include summaries and links instead. Feel free to add to the content of the articles (i.e., the stubs) to improve them. Deleting is not the only option, you know. Chironomia 24 January 2007

Moe: You undid a lot of my work. It was work in progress. I was building -- slowly but surely. You deleted my work without contacting me first to discuss the matter. Although you made some improvements to the "Wayfaring Stranger" article, you also introduced several errors, and you created confusion with the many redirects. How do we resolve this dispute?

Re: Album infobox error

Very strange, I will check that out and leave another note when found out, thanks for noticing. -- ReyBrujo 00:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... well, the explanation is easy (although I can't understand why): the template/MediaWiki is considering a space as album name. In example, "| Cover = " (note the space) gives the Cover variable in the template the value " " (a single space). If it is written "| Cover =" (note the lack of space) makes the image appear. I will see how to fix this. -- ReyBrujo 00:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

FYI on Randy Orton "This Fire Burns"

I noticed you removed "This Fire Burns" from Randy Orton's line the Music in Professional Wrestling article. FYI, he did, for exactly one episode, use a theme song that I believe was "This Fire Burns" (currently C.M. Punk's theme). The following week, the theme song was reverted to his normal theme. No official reason was given for either change.

However, all that being said, I doubt this fact is verifiable in a published source (I just personally know the song changed for a week because I happened to watch those particular episodes last year and my friend and I spent a while wondering about it). So I don't have a problem with deleting the information as unreferenced. But just so you know, he DID change his theme song for exactly one week in 2006. Later! Dugwiki 18:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmm.. never saw the epsiode you mentioned :( Anyways, two reasons that it probably shouln't stay is because 1) I don't think we're confident that it was in fact "This Fire Burns" but if we had a source it might be better and 2) If he only used it for one week, is it that important that it be recognized as his theme?

You seem to have reverted one of my Help Desk answers: [3]. Was there something wrong with it, or did you hit the wrong button? --ais523 18:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

A comment about WWE alumni

Well actually two comments: good job on working on cleaning that, and secondly: Justice Smith, Seth Skyfire, Tracy Taylor, Tommy Suede, Ryan Reeves, Jack Bull, Mike Taylor and Tony Santarelli never appeared on WWE tv ever: they aren't alumni. Being a development talent isn't alumni to WWE itself (if that was the case, the alumni page would be flooded with every development talent released ever). I've removed them from the list. I think a warning of some sort should be put on the top, so people don't add them again (and to prevent adding of release development wrestlers in the future). RobJ1981 17:55, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I added a note about it and removed the developmental talent. semper fiMoe 18:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Wrestling photos/tag teams and stables

I don't know if you knew this or not, but I created this: User:RobJ1981/NeededPWphotos for a list of wrestling articles needing photos. It's helped somewhat, but not alot. Do you know good sources to get wrestling photos for Wikipedia? While adding articles to the list: I've also noticed tag teams and stables articles on Wikipedia are a mess. Most are short unsourced stubs and lots of POV statements. I've been trying on and off (while I assess and other tasks on Wikipedia), to clean them... but I've hardly made a dent in them. Can you help? RobJ1981 20:48, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I can help with improving articles and giving you names to be added to your list. Something I haven't been able to do is find a good place to get Images for articles. Most Images about wrestling now pretty much have to be public domain or they get deleted because a rule on Fair Use is that it's only fair use if no free alternative is available. The only problem is finding those free alternatives. I'll start looking though. semper fiMoe 20:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


New and Improved user page

Please take a look at my new and improved userpage. Big Boss 0 02:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Take a look at this cool HHH pedigree video too. Tell me what you think. Big Boss 0 03:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT3ELTRFDJw&NR

Hey Big Boss. I like your new userpage. About the video, it's amazing Triple H didn't break that guys neck doing it so incorrectly. semper fiMoe 04:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Economy

Dear Moe, the image worked well, but somebody erased the hole article. Could you help to recover it? Best regards from --Jörg Sutter 09:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Jörg. Could you clarify something about your question? You said someone erased an entire article. Which article are you refering to, Economy or Economics? I'm not sure since you recently edited both of them. Regards semper fiMoe 04:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Undel request.

Could you undelete User:Moe Epsilon/welcome for me. I don't know if I'm going to be using it a lot, but it seems like I had it transcluded in a lot of places that now just have a red-link. If you could do this, I would appriciate it. Thank you! semper fiMoe 05:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Sweet Adelines International

Hello Moe. Thank you for your interest in Sweet Adelines International.

The information that I recently posted regarding the organization's current activities gives readers a relevent representation of the organization as it stands today.

An accurate synopsis describing the origination of the organization follows the current information section. This particular data was gathered through years of research and anecdoctal feedback from long-term members, describing events and circumstances from first-hand experiences.

As this is approved industry information, I request that you do not alter the copy.

Thank you very much for your support. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kkirchhoff (talkcontribs) 15:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

A couple of things I should discuss with you about this article and about Wikipedia itself:
  1. Don't ask people not to edit something, You don't own articles.
  2. Your version doesn't present a neutral point-of-view and it written in a non-standardized format for what Wikipedia considers appropriate.
  3. Where is this information coming from? You didn't provide sources and that much information needs them (See Wikipedia:Citing Sources)
Moe (Review Me) 15:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


Hello. I apologize that you misunderstood my request. Of course you have the right to edit the page, but all I ask as the Director of Communications is that your information is completely accurate and derived from official Sweet Adelines International publications, bylaws and/or historical documents.
Sweet Adelines International is a wonderful organization with a lot of interesting information for readers to review. I simply added this content to the page, and plan to add more interesting content in the next few days. The Barbershop Harmony Society has a wonderful page on Wikipedia with a lot of pertinent content about their organization. Sweet Adelines International should also have the opportunity to display a wide range of information.
I have included the information source at the bottom of the entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kkirchhoff (talkcontribs) 22:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC).
Unfortuantly, we can't list telephone numbers on Wikipedia. As long as the official website which includes that information is listed at the bottom, you don't need to list it twice. above. I have tagged the article for {{tone}} and {{wikify}} so it can be written in the tone of an encyclopedia article. — Moe (Review Me) 22:32, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Big Boss 0

Hey Moe check out my official Big Boss 0 sockpuppet. User: Big Boss 1. Big Boss 0 00:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

If you have seen Big Boss 1 tell me what you think. Big Boss 0 14:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Although your allowed to create sockpuppets under WP:SOCK, I'm not really sure I see the point in creating a non-active account for no purpose. — Moe 23:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Moe check this out. I couldn't stop laughing the first time I saw this. By the way could I ask you a favor. Big Boss 0 23:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsHBzYYNIns&mode=related&search=

What is the favor you need? (I saw the video, it was alright :P) — Moe 00:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

As you know my e-mail account was infected with a virus. My internet company fixed it and gave me a new e-mail account. I am able to recieve e-mails but I do not know if I can send them. So could I by chance e-mail you to see if it works. I am sorry but I lost everything including the WWE HQ e-mail. I will be unreachable for the next two days and I was wondering if I could do this later. I do ask that you keep my e-mail name confidential. Big Boss 0 00:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

This is fine, feel free to e-mail me. — Moe 00:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
If you have sent an e-mail, I haven't recieved it. — Moe 00:59, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I sent it. It should have the subject Big Boss 0. Big Boss 0 00:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

You sure. Double check. Big Boss 0 01:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure, nothing there. — Moe 01:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks anyway. I'll be back in a minute. Big Boss 0 01:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

So what have you been up to recently? Anything interesting happen. Big Boss 0 01:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Nothing much, just real life stuff. — Moe 01:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

My trip was cancelled so I will be around. Talk to me if you feel bored or something. Big Boss 0 18:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

thiought of you

I saw this discussion and thought of you ;). I see you are still plugging away in your area of expertise, good for you and for the encyclopedia. Cheers, NoSeptember 06:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks NoSeptember. :) But the obvious solution to this is to block me for starting the trend. :p A whole lot of complaining for absolutly nothing. All I see is potentially embarrassed admin getting revenge for clicking on it, wiki looses users for these kinds of things :( — Moe 06:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I too am often amazed about what people feel is worth arguing about. And we do lose users over the silliest things. NoSeptember 06:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Cheers. Long time no hear.

I tried to retire myself, but a troll won't let me.

How've you been? --PaxEquilibrium 23:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, long time, no hear :) What kept me from retiring was the vandalism or misinformation to articles I use to look stuff up for. I'm fine, how are you? — Moe 02:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Slightly frustrated. I really want to retire (and return occasionally to put a news or two), but I simply cannot while User:Afrika paprika is on the run. One time, I finally retired and he added 19 times to my user page that I "suck Vojislav Šešelj's dick". And I really can't retire knowing that he constantly keeps returning like that and harassing me. --PaxEquilibrium 13:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear your frustrated :( The only advice I can give you for retiring (like you want) is to not look at the history of your userpage if he is actively vandalizing it. Responsible users/admins will revert and block the socks whenever they start to show up, so theres no reason for you to stress. I have similar trouble whenever I try to retire or the like, my page was vandalized 7 times within the first 24 hours of me trying to leave. Thats when your most vulnerable and thats when vandals seek to attack you. My advice would to be just to stay away from the history page as much as possible. But if you have to look at the history, don't look at what the vandal said, because it will most likely make you upset (I should know, the weirdest vandalism to my userpage was a vandal saying I masturbated with a gerbil up my anus or something like that.) Just ignore them, they aren't worth stressing over. — Moe 16:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Cody Runnels and Shawn Spears

What is your reason for deleting my article? --Cowboy From Hell 20:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)DJ BatWave

There is no point to this article. There is nothing that can't be included onto the main article of those individual wrestlers articles. There have been teg teams that have won the Tag Team Championships on RAW and SmackDown! that don't deserve articles and they are more notable than Cody Runnels and Shawn Spears. This isn't a wrestling wiki to dump any and all information about professional wrestling. — Moe 02:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Big Boss 2

Someone created the user account User: Big Boss 2. Do me a favor and keep an eye on him. This is not a Big Boss 0 sockpuppet and I reccomend maximum alert around this guy. Big Boss 0 01:37, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Since you are saying that Big Boss 2 isn't yours and he is claiming to be you, then he needs to be indefblocked. — Moe 02:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Stranger thing is that User:Yaga Waga Huag attacked it before I knew it even existed. Could he be his socckpuppet? Big Boss 0 02:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but theres no action to be taken against User:Yaga Waga Huag, he is already indefblocked. — Moe 02:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Just to be safe we might want to do a usercheck on User: Big Boss 2 and all of the suspected Ockenbock sockpuppets. Big Boss 0 02:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

No need to. All socks are indefblocked and Big Boss 2 will be taken care of. — Moe 02:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

So, when will the autoblock expire, if ever? I must have misunderstood the autoblock process. -- The Hybrid 04:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, I apologize for flipping out on the TCC talk page. While we still disagree, I acted like a dick with that angry rant, and I'm sorry. -- The Hybrid 04:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I just looked up the autoblock thing, so nevermind on the question. Peace, -- The Hybrid 04:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

All autoblocks are a 24-hour block. in the case of Big Boss 2, If an IP that was used to login as Big Boss 2 accesses Wikipedia, the WikiMedia server recognizes it and automatically blocks it for 24 hours. Pending on how long the original blockees block was, Big Boss 2's in indef, the autoblock for 24 hour trend will constantly reappear because he will never be unblocked. This is how problem IPs get singled out. I checked and currently no autoblocks have been activated for Big Boss 2, so no worries right now.
I am also sorry for getting a little testy on TTC talk page, it's getting to everyone, the whole debating thing, but things will resolve themselves. Cheers! — Moe 04:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, at least you got the stupid version of what an autoblock is from me :) — Moe 04:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I decided to stop editing the page altogether. It just isn't worth it. Literally everything is currently being disputed. I mentioned it at the WP:PW talk page, and it looks like it may get AfDed. While I doubt it will get deleted, it would sure make it easier on people. That is a subject that at first glance looks relatively uncontroversial, but when people start digging all of this starts to make sense. Cheers, -- The Hybrid 04:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it would get deleted. It's too popular a subject among wrestling fans and now editors of Wikipedia ;) Naturally, I would vote to keep it, but I wouldn't shed a tear if it was deleted. — Moe 04:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I had something to do. Anyway, the same goes for me. I would personally like to see it deleted, but it does deserve an article. And actually, the stupid version got across exactly what happens with autoblocks better than me reading over the article. Cheers, -- The Hybrid 04:41, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Glad to hear my ignorance was clear :) — Moe 04:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Just to make sure I get it ;), so if he doesn't log into any of his blocked accounts for 1 day he will be able to create another account, right? -- The Hybrid 04:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Nope, his account creation was blocked [4]Moe 04:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Ah, but don't the Wikimedia servers automatically delete any IP information for an account that is older than 2 weeks, or do the WM servers make a point of storing that info for banned users? -- The Hybrid 04:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
WikiMedia servers have the memory of an elephant :) — Moe 05:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
For one last question, my nephew Logan, who created the account User:Moose-a-chu once while I was letting him mess around on my computer, got my IP autoblocked (little jerk >:( ). He also got the account creation ban. If I hadn't had the autoblock removed, would I have ever been able to edit from this account, which existed previous to the account creation block, or my IP address ever again? -- The Hybrid 05:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
*Moe's head swells from overload of questions* Your account was created before the block, you will always be allowed to use that account as long as the block isn't on your block log. That specefic IP he was won't be able to create accounts. If you have more than one IP, I guess that's your ticket around it, but if it's a static IP, you're stuck to one account creation (unless you create an account outside that IP). If the autoblock has been removed, you can edit from your account. If you logged in on the same IP that was blocked, there would have only been one autoblock to remove, and you're editing now aren't you? :) Pending on the number of IPs you use, you're probably not going to have deal with this problem. My best advice is to not let you're nephew edit Wikipedia :P — Moe 05:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for answering my questions :). Yeah, my nephew will never EVER be allowed on this computer again. I think I get the autoblock thing now. I guess the reason auto was in the name ever got through my skull ;). And now I have to log off. Cheers, -- The Hybrid 05:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Hybrid

I believe Hybrid is having a nervous breakdown. See below for evidince. Please leave a response after you finish reading. Big Boss 0 02:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Why the hell did they give Umaga the IC Championship and why did Vince pick him to represent him? Big Boss 0 22:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Umaga, they are giving him a mega-push. He has gotten over as a monster heel, and he is able to make the power moves look really devastating. Vince also likes to push big guys. It has worked for him enough times in the past (Undertaker for one example) for him to keep trying it. Umaga also has a fair amount of experience as a member of 3 minute warning, so he knows how to handle himself fairly well. I have a bias towards high-flyers so his IC victory didn't thrill me, but it wasn't the worst choice he could have made. Cheers, -- The Hybrid 22:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

How did you get worst choice to link to The Great Khali? And I can think of someone worse than that. Big Boss 0 22:23, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Big Dick Johnson. Big Boss 0 01:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

My Adoptees

In March I am going to be going on vacation for 10 days. Would you mind if I told my adoptees that they could ask you for advice while I'm gone? I would like to have 3 people for them to be able to go to, and if you say yes you will be the second. They are all very low maintenance. Cheers, -- The Hybrid 03:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Sure, it will be my honor. Just tell me their names I'll be sure to make them comfortable in the Hotel Wikipedia :) — Moe 03:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
User:Xero Anarian is literally never on. We haven't spoken in months. I'm actually considering dropping him. User:Lazylaces has a great sense of humor, and rarely needs editing advice. User:LindeeK is busy in real life at the moment. I am planning on leaving a note on my talk page rather than sending them a message, so you don't have to introduce yourself. Just be prepared if they show up, which I don't predict. I don't really have a high maintenance adoptee anymore. Thanks Moe, -- The Hybrid 03:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, when you start to become inactive, I'll be sure to moniter you're talk page and introduce myself to those adoptees who are active. No problem, glad I could help. — Moe 03:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Cool. I am leaving on the morning of March 9th, so the evening of March 8th will be when my edits stop. I live in Arizona, so I am 7 hours different from UTC time. When I add the Wikibreak template is when to do what you plan on doing, or whenever you get on if you aren't here when I leave. I get back on the 20th, so I won't be editing again until the 21st of March. Thanks again, -- The Hybrid 03:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
I guess we got some time in between now and then to see if your adoptees are going to be active. Happy to help :) — Moe 03:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

What did you hope to accomplish with this page? Lupin's tool doesn't work like that. Unless I'm mistaken, it's supposed to be in your monobook, not your userpace. I have redirected to your userspace.

If you have time...

Could you comment here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Professional_wrestling#Redlinks_in_wrestling_PPV_and_event_articles. Basically to sum it up: I think redlinks should be in articles, and another doesn't. I don't think there is any policy on this? The redlinks are useless non-notable teams and wrestlers that will most likely never get an article on Wikipedia. I'm hoping for a consensus with the project about this.

ArbCom for Free Republic

Please do not remove comments from the workshop or evidence pages of this Arbitration case again. Removing comments is disruptive and you could be blocked if you do it repeatedly. — Moe 15:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

The material I removed was in violation of one or more policies. Specifically, the policy forbidding tampering with someone else's evidence presentation and the policy against posting personal information about another user. Dino 15:43, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
You sir are the one tampering with that person's evidence. If you would like that information to be deleted, not removed, request someone with oversight powers to investigate. Since I have seen your edits like this before though, I have a hunch you have already :requested this and it has been denied, so I suggest you let the matter drop. — Moe 15:48, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
I see your response and notice that you've carefully dodged the bit about "posting personal information about another user." Care to respond? Dino 15:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
What are you talking about? If you want my take on personal information here it is: It's unacceptable and a blockable offense for posting. The part your trying to hide is not personal information, meaning, the part you are trying to hide is your last name (I think?) and that is in your username. If you didn't want your real name spread across Wikipedia, you shouldn't have used it in your username to begin with. — Moe 15:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I just reverted another edit by Dino. --BenBurch 16:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Must have missed that one, thanks for reverting and feel free to revert any others I may have missed. He has stopped since I talked with him, so I won't take any furthur action. — Moe 16:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not talking about my last name, but someone else's. He did not choose to reveal his last name. Dino 17:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Then why have you taken upon yourself to be his represenative for removing his name? — Moe 17:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
I am taking it upon myself to be the representative of the Wikipedia policy that forbids the posting of personal information. "It's unacceptable and a blockable offense for posting." Follow through on that, would you please? BenBurch and others have been busy all morning. If you do not stop them, they will only escalate this. Dino 17:19, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
If you want this matter to be resolved, without you being blocked and without the information being spread than your going to have to do this without edit warring, reverting established editors and without sniping at people. — Moe 17:27, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
That is precisely what I am trying to do sir. Right here, right now. Without edit warring, reverting established editors (except when they violate the policy you've just acknowledged) and without sniping at people. I have stopped trying to enforce the policy that you acknowledged should be enforced with blocks, and I've come to you.
Now please. Do something about it. Dino 17:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm happy to help you, but you must cooperate with me and others. First off, I need who you are speaking about (whose name you're trying to oversight) to be on Wikipedia. — Moe 17:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Please check your e-mail. You have more than enough information to take the necessary action. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. Dino 17:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I will reply on e-mail to avoid WP:BEANS. — Moe 17:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Nirvana (band)

Please stop what you are doing. The consensus is widespread that the Seattle band belongs at Nirvana (band) and that the disambiguation properly directs people to the UK band. (This move is certainly not "non-controversial".) -- ChrisB 06:34, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

There is more than one band named Nirvana, Nirvana from American and The UK band). Feel free to discuss this, but I beleive this change would most defiently satisfy our guidelines on disambiguation. Nirvana (band) is anything should be a disamb. for the two bands or a redirect. — Moe 06:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Problem #1: the name you chose does not follow Wiki guidelines. The correct title for what you are trying to accomplish is Nirvana (US band). If you go to that article and check its history, you'd notice that this has been attempted before and was immediately reverted.
Problem #2: this was not a non-controversial move as dictated by guidelines. The most responsible action would have been to consult with the editors of the article before attempting a move.
No move like this, particularly with a FEATURED ARTICLE, should be attempted by a lone editor on a whim. There should have been discussion prior to it happening. (Had the title's disambiguation been an issue, it certainly would have been discussed during the FA process.) -- ChrisB 06:53, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Discuss this on the talk page and move it appropriatly after consensus is formed once again. But you can't deny the fact that there is two Nirvana's and this disambiguation is nessecary. One can't be Nirvana (band) and the other one be Nirvana (UK band) and expect disambiguation to be the best it can be. The UK band could in theory take the same title as Nirvana the Washington band and it still would have been correct. Disambiguation is meant to be clear enough so viewers (not editors) of this site can easily navigate it without confusion (not the only reason for DAB though). I'm going off-line now. — Moe 07:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. That actually made me smile. pschemp | talk 00:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad, in times like these on Wikipedia we frequently forget to, glad I remembered this random day. :) — Moe 00:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks :) — Moe 02:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Episodes of D:TNG

I appricate your hard work on these articles. But there seems to be a problem. The many red-links you provided on the episode guide seems to bring trolling editors to create non-sense pages or poorly created ones. Since you seem to be the one doing a fine job creating the articles, I was going to inform you of this. I am filling all the red-links to a redirect to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation episodes until you get the time to create the articles to their best. Whenever you come upon on that has been redirected by me, feel free to revert and start writing the articles. Contact me if you have any questions or need any help. Cheers! — Moe 02:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Season 1 seems fine and especially like the length and depth of Mother and Child Reunion, Part 1 (D:TNG episode). Try to make all of them like this if you could :) — Moe 05:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC) 02:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok it's fine. I didn't even notice that some where being created. Anyways, I linked it in the episode guide since I planned to create the pages later on so the redirects are fine. -- Xallium 12:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

At least one user..

Is liable to disagree with your addition. (Netscott) 03:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

So every word that Jimbo Wales should be taken as the words of God? Even Jimbo is human, and I know he wouldn't agree with the spamming issue.. — Moe 03:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
No actually in my book WP:JIMBOSAID logic is pretty weak. But I thought it notable just the same. (Netscott) 03:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Of course his opinion is put on the near-top of the list, so to speak (come on, he's Jimbo :p), but he can make mistakes :( I'm not saying it's Jimbo's fault, but sometimes his lack of activity on Wikipedia is key to him missing some of the little issues that spark up into bigger ones.. — Moe 03:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

please can u adopt me?

i saw u in he adopters area so please adopt me contact me on my talk page a.s.a.p please thanks sooo much mate thanks!Pjg12 19:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I would be very happy to mentor you on Wikipedia. Consider yourself adopted :) — Moe 20:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Big Boss 0*

Before I leave entirely, I wanted to let you know that BB0 has gone insane. Peace, -- The Hybrid 05:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I haven't trusted him since the thing about the Triple Crown Championship personally. — Moe 05:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
See the thread at WP:ANI to see what I think he is up to. I'll be here for a little while. Peace, -- The Hybrid 05:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeh, I just read that WP:AN/I thread. By some of his comments on his [Metro's] talk page he sounds like a over-enthusiastic Metal Gear Solid fan, and he mixes pro wrestling into the bunch *creep factor increases as those are some of my favorite things* — Moe 05:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I made a comment to him before about how Wikipedia isn't Tactical Espionage Action, but to no avail. I predict a block in his future. Too bad, but deserved. Peace, -- The Hybrid 05:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Alright, time for me to go to bed. See you on the 21st, assuming the ship doesn't sink. Peace, -- The Hybrid 05:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Lol, *Snake (portrayed by Moe) peeks around corner, 'no vandals here'* More irony, Snakes real name was David like mine, lol :p Ok, I'm logging off now, hope this gets resolved. — Moe 05:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Don't die on me Snake; I'm counting on you to keep Wikipedia from being overrun by Metal Gear VAN while I'm gone. Peace, -- The Hybrid 08:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks sooooooooooooo much

hey thanks sooo much for adopting me wen shall we get started

all my thanks Pjg12 09:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Whenever you are ready, I am ready! :) — Moe 17:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Konstable

Moe, I don't think there is any current issue with Konstable's editing. Can I suggest that you avoid initiating interaction with him (and vice versa). Thanks and regards, Newyorkbrad 22:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Beeg Boos 0

This should not by any means be a week-long block, it should be indef. He is clearly impersonating User:Big Boss 0. — Moe 18:43, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I have unblocked that user. Please request some other admin to block this user indefinitely as that will be in order as I do not want to do it as my action will look biased. --Bhadani 18:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
And, sorry. Nice to meet you. Thanks. --Bhadani 18:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I feel that this user may be a banned user named User: Ockenbock. I cannot be sure at this point but it should be an indefiblock. Big Boss 0 13:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Apparently his talk page has been protected from placing unblock templates on it. Has he been blocked? Big Boss 0 13:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes, he was indefblocked. — Moe 23:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Re. World Wrestling Entertainment roster

Done.. I was actually unsure whether to protect or just semi-protect. Please accept my condolences for your loss. Regards, Húsönd 20:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to hear about this also. ~ Arjun 01:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

I am really sorry to see that your friend died. Anyway thank you for dealing with that imposter for me. Thank you very much. Big Boss 0 19:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Super Bowl XLI

Hi Moe Epsilon,

I moved the Dolphin Stadium section located in Background to a new subsection called Dolphin Stadium Trivia in the belief that that is a more appropriate location. I suspect that it others might have removed the material because of its location. I do think that the information is appropriate, however.

Take care,

Larry --Lmcelhiney 12:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually the section was removed by a vandal that said it wasn't in a "Neutral Point of View", which is completely absurd. The move was fine. Cheers! — Moe 23:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

sources

I have fixed the references tags there. Please correct me if it isn't pointed to the correct reference. — Moe 22:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the sources, but why was it needed to add a space between the reference and the period? --Thus Spake Anittas 23:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Quite honestly, I don't know. I actually didn't know that all I did was add a space and it worked, maybe it confuses the code, or something.. — Moe 23:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, now I removed the space and it's still good. Strange stuff. Thx again. --Thus Spake Anittas 23:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: "No fair!"

You copied my answer! [5] :p — Moe 03:01, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh; I copied your response because it was the best answer to the same statement on Karmafist's talk page. :-P 1ne 06:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi

I am currently looking for someone to nominate me for adminship. I was wondering if you might be up for it? Thanks either way. MGAME 13:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Users banned by community consensus such as you, MGAME (or should I say, Verdict (talk contribs)?) will never become administrators. --Yamla 19:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Couple of problems with your request for me nominating you:
  1. You have too few edits
  2. Your account is too new
  3. Oh yeah, your also indefblocked.
Come back to me once you have resolved this, although this may take a while.. — Moe 23:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Big Boss 0

Well glad to see you back. Hope to hear from you soon. Big Boss 0 22:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome back, and for the message before when I went on wikibreak. — Moe 23:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. Anyway things with me should return to normal(if you call how I normally act normal). It was a really complicated situation. I'll tell you about it if you want to hear it. And how do you just sign the time for a response? Big Boss 0 02:34, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for coming to my defense or whatever it is you did on my talk page. Anyway Nightmare has gone a little nuts. What the heck is up with him. I tried calling him but I got no answer. Big Boss 0 13:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks

thwank you for archiving the vallo talk page, it was a pain ikn the butt to try and figure out. thanks again.jasonRazor romance 13:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. If you need anything else, just ask. :) — Moe 10:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm back

Yo, I'm back. What did I miss? -- The Hybrid 05:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Howdy Hybrid. You didn't miss much, how was your trip. — Moe 10:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Very relaxing. Of course, the day I get back I return to BB0 causing all hell to break loose again, but I was expecting that, so no biggie. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. That's always tough. While I was gone one of my uncles died, and they went ahead and did the funeral while I was gone. Understandable since it was literally hours after I had left, I was going to be gone for almost 2 weeks, and they had no way to contact me, but it is really quite depressing. Later, -- The Hybrid 22:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
