[edit] Re: Rollback

Ah well, that's a bummer. Thanks for taking care of that :) —97198 talk 09:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep, sorry about that... if you decide to file a request to change your username, come straight back here (or reapply at RfR) and I'll more than happily take care of it –Alex.Muller 13:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi again! I've finally got around to having my username changed, and I was wondering whether you could take care of business? Much appreciated :) —97198 talk 03:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Should be all done now, hope that helps. Remember only for obvious vandalism, and stop by Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback if you have a minute spare. Feel free to let me know if you have any issues at all. Cheers, Alex Muller 07:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch! —97198 talk 08:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for fixing that AfD. I had a look at the redirect but, I couldn't be 100% sure I knew what they were trying to say. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem — I couldn't see what happened with the redirect either, but just reverted to an earlier version because it was the easiest thing to do :) Alex Muller 13:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

[edit] My RfA

Hey Alex.muller. I would like to thank you for your support in my RfA and the confidence expressed thereby. I appreciate your trust. :) Best wishes, —αἰτίας •discussion• 18:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Still Getting It

You discussed my post on the admins noticeboard. Please can you delete it, I can't log in because of a wikibreak enforcer. 92.5.91.181 (talk) 16:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Untitled the musical

Hi --I was directed to you as a possibility of restoring an article that was taken down. The people who created the article had permission to use the material found on my website for the show I created a few years back, and I emailed wikipedia to ensure that the permission was granted and was not a copyright infringement. Any chance the article can be restored the way it was before it was deleted? Thanks for your help Jjbalcou (talk) 04:24, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure — but what you have to do, according to this page is put a note at the bottom of that page saying that the text on that page is "licensed under the GFDL". I presume the page is [1]. You'll then be able to copy and paste the content right in after clicking on the Untitled the musical link. Hope this helps, Alex Muller 07:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disappearance of Hoplitomeryx

Is there any way of restoring Hoplitomeryx? It seems to be deleted along with the vandalism page it was redirected to.--Mr Fink (talk) 14:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Y Done, that was very odd... Alex Muller 14:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!--Mr Fink (talk) 15:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Odd computer error

As I was in the process of blocking an anonymous vandal whom you'd previously blocked, a computer glitch caused me to block you instead of the anon. I immediately corrected it and noted that the block had simply been a computer error. I probably should have written a more elaborate explanation, but I was so startled by the event and distressed that I wanted to get you unblocked that instant. You might not have discovered this any time soon, potentially never, but nonetheless I felt obligated to explain it and apologize profusely right away. Doczilla _STOMP! 10:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Ha, that's quite alright Doczilla... rumour has it that admins are only human after all, and we make mistakes just like everyone else (though I can't believe that myself for one second). And I quite like my block log not being so barren now... but seriously, no need to apologise at all :D. All the best to you, Alex Muller 11:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Alex. I appreciate it. That really was nagging at me. Doczilla _STOMP! 16:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] user nouse4aname

i reported htis to another admind but thye havnet replyaed yet.... the user nouse4aname has undo my edit 4 times with the last 24 hours so to aviod an edit war and to aviod violating the 3rr rule, i stopped editing the page, however i put the edit war warning on his page and told him since he undo my eidts 4 times he violated the rule, he then removed it from the page to make himself look like he has a better history so i added it back just now and that is where we are. he has a nack for customizzing the pages to his likeing, he will follow one rule thne dis obey another if he doesnt like it, he has been nothing but an annoniance since he started edited the used page, since he violred the 3rr rule and removed the warning i think u shud give him a band to teach him a lesson., i just checked and he removed the warning again so i will re add it again, the page he violted the 3rr on was shallow believer, he keeps removing the warning label from his page to make himself look good and he wont stop....he also stalks me on here and went to the other admins talk page to stand up for himself b4 the admin replyed to him so that shows he is just following every edit i make. here is his talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nouse4aname#used USEDfan (talk) 20:49, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

There's too much going on here for me to jump in the middle of, especially that another article is involved. If you feel that Nouse4aname has violated the 3 revert rule, create a new report at WP:3RRN with evidence presented very clearly and an administrator will deal with it in good time. Thanks, Alex Muller 20:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion request

Hi there,

Could you please delete these two images because they were blatantly copied from websites:

• [2]
• [3]

Thankyou. --G. Campbell (talk) 09:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Done — though just because they're copyrighted doesn't mean they should go, there could be a claim of fair use here. However, there was nothing near a claim being made, so I'll leave it to the original uploader to deal with if they want the images included again... Alex Muller 09:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marsupial lion 3RR blocks

Hello Alex. I replied on my Talk. EdJohnston (talk) 16:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

But I want to discuss the issues and reach a concensous, how am I meant to do this if I am not allowed near the article? And I do not wish to edit war again, not even in two days. I only did it because I felt I had to, I would rather we discuss things, listen to and address all points and issues raised in our reasons, and then agree on a concensous. Cazique (talk) 16:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Conversation on your talk, I want to make sure you definitely saw what I'm saying :D Alex Muller 16:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

It wasn't mindless though. I did it because he wouldn't reply and like I said in my request, what incentive is there if things are your way? Cazique (talk) 16:51, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I did most the things in WP:DR, honestly I tried before it came to the edit warring. Oh well at least now other admins are finally aware of us and will keep an eye on Uther as I suspect he will continue from his general attitude. Cazique (talk) 17:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Well now you can see he has gone against the condition to our unblocks and has reverted the page back to his version. How did he become an admin if he is not willing to abide? Cazique (talk) 17:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Dealt with. Alex Muller 17:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedians with ADHD

Would you please let me know if there's a "Category:" fpr Wikipedians with ADHD. Thanks, Gabriel

There isn't one that I can find, I'm afraid - but you could just add [[Category:Wikipedians with ADHD]] to the bottom of your user page. Alex Muller 07:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Serial key noticed

Heya,

Someone posted serials into a page - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Acrobat8pro.png&diff=prev&oldid=216417490

I undid the changes, but I figured you'd need an admin to remove it from the history.

mibus (talk) 06:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Cool, I've got rid of it - many thanks for the heads up :) Alex Muller 06:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1992 Nicaragua earthquake

Please tell me how this is vandalism. I removed the tag because it seemed absurd. I'm an Editorofthewiki^{[citation needed]} 11:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I honestly wasn't looking at whether it was vandalism or not, that's why I didn't delete it straight off. But WP:CSD states very clearly that "The creator of a page may not remove a Speedy Delete tag from it." Please don't do that again. Take it up with the person who tagged it or deleted it if you're bothered. Alex Muller 11:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I already did, they found no objection to my removal of the tag. I'm an Editorofthewiki^{[citation needed]} 19:46, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greater Cincinnati Tennis Association

Could you please email me a copy of the text of the deleted page: Greater Cincinnati Tennis Association? I failed to show why the article was needed, or the organization notable, and I'd like to try again. Thanks 10shistory (talk) 15:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Done, sorry for the wait. I couldn't email it to you, but there's a copy at User:10shistory/Greater Cincinnati Tennis Association for you to play around with. Hope this helps, Alex Muller 01:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Found poetry

Hey. I noticed you reverted some vandalism a while ago on found poetry. First of all, thanks! Second of all, can you add to your watchlist? It seems to go through bouts of vandalism sometimes, like all articles, I suppose, but this one seems to be a bit abadoned. The more people watch it, the better. --Justpassin (talk) 01:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing, just make sure that the version you're editing to is the correct one - that way, I have somewhere to start. I reckon I'm on here far too much, so any obvious vandalism should be gone pretty quickly. Cheers, Alex Muller 07:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cooper Huckabee

Hello, Alex.muller ...

When you contest a PROD, as you did with Cooper Huckabee (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs), please remember to add an {{Oldprodfull}} tag to the Discussion page so that others will know that it cannot be PRODed a second time.

Happy Editing! — 151.200.237.53 (talk · contribs) _{11:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)}

Thanks for the reminder - though I would note that WP:PROD does say "Consider adding", so I don't reckon it's strictly necessary. In any case, cheers for letting me know. Alex Muller 12:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

"Courtesy" is always optional, and it's a relatively new template, so most editors aren't even aware of it yet … for me, it's an administrative issue (as in CYA), but, as the template's author, I'm kinda biased … I often troll Category:Proposed deletion-endorsed and add it to articles that I find listed there, and I always add it to PRODs that I second (being a deletionist, I don't contest them very often. :-) —151.200.237.53 (talk) 16:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks re RFCU

if you can figure out how to make the reason appear in the template I would be grateful. I have no idea why it doesn't work and have run out of things to try, so have posted it as I have! --Slp1 (talk) 12:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem - you've got it done perfectly now, so I'll leave it as is. Cheers :) Alex Muller 12:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
