Is this your account?

This account was created a few hours ago: the user page directs to yours and the talk page to your talk page. You may want to investigate. --04:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Y'know, I thought your username was familiar: It was that sock you were talking about, I've seen his/her edits around. Anyway, I also told User:Kuru, and da sock, he be block. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 05:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Your vandalism log

Very nifty log you have there. Might I ask how you set it up and how you add to it? I mean, I can see the format of the code for the table but do you add the info completely manually? Drop a line on my talk page if you're inclined to explain it. I'd really like to set something like it up. Thanks. --PigmanTalk to me 06:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Aha! I use VandalProof as well so I'll ask User:AmiDaniel for tips. However, VP crashes quite frequently on me (often after only one intervention) so I don't use it with any consistency. And yes I'm up to date with it, Ver. 1.35 I think. I think the problem has to do with my internet connection. Thanks for your tip. --PigmanTalk to me 06:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Edward photo

Thanks so much for the response! Do you know where to get a free image suitable for the article? I'm reading the link you gave me, and I'll follow it's instructions and suggestions - but if you know of an available photo...oh please give me the short cut! Thanks again! Dreadlocke ☥ 05:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

And wow! Very cool user page! Dreadlocke ☥ 05:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
The only way to find a free image of him is taking a image of him yourself, or searching the internet and try to find a image free of any copyright. The last option is very slim since most images in the internet are copyrighted. --K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 07:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I see. Well, then doesn't that make the book cover the best choice until a free photo is actually found? I mean, it's essentially irreplacable until that time - there's nothing currently to replace it. Or is just the concept that it can be replaced by someone lucky enough to get a shot of him? I don't quite understand that part. Thanks! Dreadlocke ☥
But it can be replaced, thats the main idea. It's been known that, in Wikipedia, if there is no photograph on an article, there is a much higher chance that someone will obtain the image. If you place the book cover on the article, then noone will bother getting a newer and better one, because they will think the article does not need one. See here for a better explanation --K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 07:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I see! That makes sense. I hope it works in this case. I put up a photo request on the images request page, and added a tag to the article's talk page. Hopefully someone will get a photo soon. I'll keep ya posted...Dreadlocke ☥ 08:42, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

No photos yet. If I take a picture of my tv screen during a showing of Edward's show, would that be ok to post? Dreadlocke ☥ 01:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Depends on the copyright status of the television show in question. It might violate Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Fair_use#Film & television stills. --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 05:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
The tv screenshot tag says a limited number of low-res screenshots is allowable even if the show is copyrighted. So I'm not sure what you mean by copyright status in this case? How can I tell? Dreadlocke ☥ 17:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, i have already made a subpage although i am no too sure it is correct, if you don't mind helping me out check Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/190.53.15.171.

I'll be happy to help, although I am not sure how much use I'll be --K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 09:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Once again, thanks. My suspicions were correct and the request confirmed they were the same person [1].
    LaNicoya 15:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the pointer to WP:SSP, I'll keep that in mind. My suspicion is basically just that though, I don't think I want to make specific, formal accusations against possibly legit users. The one account I posted on AIV had (I thought) the clearest "bad" contribs and it's gone now, so if another arises I guess it can be dealt with then. Thanks again though. skip (t / c) 10:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

What's up

How's going dude? I haven't heard from you in a while, is everything alright? Peace. DizzyD

May I ask who you are? I think you got the wrong user since I know noone named DizzyD, or having your ip address. --K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 20:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Brandt accident

Looks like you accidentally removed someone else's statement but I put it for you... - Denny 22:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I was in a rush, and seemed to have removed the comment. Accidentally wrote keep in the edit summary which made me panic. --K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 06:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Rita MacNeil are considered personal attacks to the person in question. The word "shapely" in the context that you put it in is considered vandalism. --K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 21:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi!

Congrats on passing me...I don't seem to care any more. --The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 00:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: ????

Hi. I was talking to you. There's a typo in that comment, "...bogus claims then they are..." should read "...bogus claims than they are...". He's talking about using bogus claims to ban other users, which is completely different from "bogus claims to build an encyclopedia". Zocky | picture popups 02:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh right. Thanks for pointing it out. "Bogus claims to build a encyclopedia" doesn't even make sense...I don't know what happened to my brain today...--K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 02:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Kzrulzuall/VandalismLog

Hi Kzrulzuall, I noticed you're keeping a log of vandalism edits you've reverted at User:Kzrulzuall/VandalismLog. Interesting, though I suspect you could use the time spent maintaing it to improve other parts of Wikipedia. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-04 07:06Z

Not sure what you mean, since I don't use any time at all to maintain it. I just click a button and VandalProof automatically does it for me. --K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 07:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Ah, I see, I didn't know it had that feature. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-04 09:43Z

Category

ATP Tennis Best 3 Years at No. 1 category removed as "arbitrary, made up record"

I created this category based on a graphic that appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter, comparing the reigns of greats from the open era. I'd like the deletion of my work to be reconsidered. cybatrax

I'll try to help, but doubtful if it will be much use. The category wouldn't make it into the guidelines at WP:CAT--K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 23:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

SSP case

Hi Kzrulzuall, as you may have noticed, the SSP board is backlogged, so if you are concerned to have User:Kzrulzuall69 blocked, you might just want to contact User:Kuru, the admin who blocked the other socks. On the other hand, it doesn't look like your doppleganger has edited with that account since 2-21, so maybe it's not urgent... --Akhilleus (talk) 03:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I haven't checked SSP for a long time. --K.Z Talk • Vandal • Contrib 04:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Assesment tennis articles

Until today, I assed about 20 articles. Must we keep some sort of log when we asses tennis articles? I thought there is some sort of bot for that job. :) --Göran Smith 20:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

The department is for people who wants a article assessed. It isn't a log for articles assessed. Sorry if i didn't make it clear. --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 23:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I was a little confused about this, too. Should we keep a log of assessed articles? I've seen other projects that have a summary of the number of articles of each quality type.
Also, are you still trying to get tennis to FA status? If you are, I'd like to help. Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 04:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help..Its appreciated. Also, the summary of the number of article assessed is done by the editorial team not the WikiProject itself. --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 04:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Tennis

What's your opinion on all the "great players" sections? I think they're completely POV and should be removed. There's no question that the debate has occurred, and that the debate can be verified, but the whole thing just doesn't seem encyclopedic. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 22:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I saw your recent edits. I really think the stuff on prosets, no-ad and, and supertiebreakers needs to be in the main article. It shows that there are alternate rules that can be used (some quite commonly, imo). I agree that it shouldn't be marked as American high school rules, because they are used outside of that, but I think they're still significant enough to leave in. Supertiebreakers are even used in pro mixed doubles, and they're experimenting with no-ad for doubles as well. Also, I think the para. about playing lets would be better off in serve (tennis) than in point (tennis). I like the revisions to types of courts. I'm going to try and find some information about relative popularity (in common use) of the various court surfaces. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 06:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. Supertiebreakers should be mentioned in the articles but I don't think anything else should. It isn't crucial for the topic, and is only some side information. If included, it should only be mentioned for a few sentences instead of three paragraphs. --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 06:58, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Cutting them down would be fine. No-ad could be mentioned as one sentence in the paragraph about games. Prosets could be one sentence in the match paragraph, or a sentence or two on it's own. We also have that whole 'miscellaneous' section to deal with. Canadian (Australian, American) doubles and wheelchair tennis, along with a mention of prosets and supertiebreakers could be a section on its own, with the other stuff moved to other articles. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 08:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

What did I post that was considered vandalism? There was no untrue posting, and no foul language.

Keep in mind that there are often children reading this website. What you wrote, although maybe true, wasn't put in the appropriate language. Also please cite the source after you type it. See WP:OR --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 08:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

AFD on Rajkumar Kanagasingam

Hi,

An AFD on my Bio Rajkumar Kanagasingam is brought only to distract the offences at wikipedia after stealing my e-mail address and thereafter my wiki passwords by Netmonger and his/her group and nothing else.

Unless I'm mistaken, the final was from yesterday. More often than not, another final warning will stop a vandal a eliminate the need for admin intervention. Plus, there's always a chance that it's a different person behind the the IP and they haven't received any of the previous warnings. John Reaves (talk) 08:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh. I thought it was 24 hours, not one day, before you need to issue a new warning. Thanks for the note, although it is highly unlikely that the user has changed, following the repetitive comments on his own userpage. Thanks for the explanation --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 09:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I meant 24 hours, maybe I misread the dates. I assume they've stopped for now anyway. Also, looks like Riana already protected that page. John Reaves (talk) 09:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

VP vandalism log

I see you're managing to have VP update your vandalism log and related pages. I noticed you reported a problem at User talk:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs. I've been watching there for a long time in search of a solution. I am curious how you fixed it. Thanks! — Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 00:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't fix it. The last few times i updated it were manually done, after remembering the code used. The problem still haven't been fixed. --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 00:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Ah, so I didn't miss something. Might you help me with the code? I'd like to update mine, too. — Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 03:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay. I know that the Vandalism Log doesn't update but click it anyway. If nothing happens, go to the place where you keep the vandalproof files. Click on a text file named VandalismLog.txt. Open it and add the needed contents into your vandalism log. (Remember that the text file holds only a partial number of the full content) The log should be updated. --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 03:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Aha, thanks! Now if only that worked for my VandalismStats page, too... :) Great tip! I hope AmiDaniel fixes the program, though. There's something about just clicking a button...
You also mentioned something about remembering that the file only holds a partial number of the full content. Does that mean it only holds the last 100 reverts or something? Thanks again for the pointers! — Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 06:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I meant that sometimes your vandalism log has things missing from it. If you look closely at edit number 355 of my log, you'll find the next number down is 345. And, to update the Vandalism Stats, go to My Count.txt and get the numbers from there. You need a calculator to figure out the percentage of mistakes though.... --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 06:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Vandals

If someone is a bv, do we need to go from warning 1 to final or can we jump to final warning? Crested Penguin 05:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

If someone already received a blatant vandalism warning, feel free to report him. Bv warning equals final warning. But BV warnings should only be put on long term vandals and vandals that have already been blocked but have vandalised after the block has expired. For vandals which don't fit into any of these categories, give them a warning dependant on their vandalism history and its severity. --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 05:14, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

ARC-deathcamps.org not given the chance to correct it's page,

A rigged deal? I am not an admin, so I didn't tag the page for the block. Sergey Romanov's page was corrected before I went on it, and the ARC page was tagged beforehand. For the admin who wiped the page blank, see User:Physicq210 --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 22:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Rubin Carter

The individuals who wrote the Rubin carter article for Wikipedia are slanderers and liars. What appears to be a balanced account is nothing less than an attempt to ruin the man's reputation. Read their Google web sites and you'll see the same stuff. This is a dangerous use of a public forum and should not be allowed to continue. The materials they use are all self-referenced. There is no foundation for the belief that Rubin Carter and John Artis were murderers; they were both exonerated of the crime for which they spent many years in prison. Carter is a respected and revered figure around the world whereas the people who keep saying these things about him are nothing but slime from the swamps of New Jersey.

Not sure what you mean

I'm not sure what you mean [2] here], is it that AN/I isn't the appropriate place to post such a notice? I thought it required attention from an Admin (and was glad that it did)... Pete.Hurd 23:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. The way you posted and stretched the words out made me think you were spamming or vandalising. You're right as it is the place to place it, although you could have tagged the article with CSD. Sorry again for the reverting of your edit. --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 00:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I did tag it, but they have a history of getting weird... Pete.Hurd 01:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Notes

1. Archive time, probably?
2. About awards, Steptrip has just kindly given me one, let's just not be too competitive, shall we?
3. Can you take a little more care when reverting?

Please address user before taking name to RFCN

As the instructions at the top of WP:RFCN say, before listing a username for comments, please make your concern known to the user, and give him or her a chance to respond first. That may resolve the issue without anyone else getting involved. Only if that direct approach fails to settle matters, one way or the other, go to WP:RFCN and at the same time notify the user that you are doing so, giving him or her a chance to respond there as well. Otherwise it comes off as going behind the user's back, an impression I'm sure you don't want to give.

The RFCN instructions list some helpful templates for these user contacts, if you're not entirely sure how to say things diplomatically. You don't have to use them, but if they even suggest ways you could phrase your own message, they've served their purpose. -- Ben TALK/HIST 15:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Oops.. Seem to have forgotten to do that. I actually feel asleep at my desk... Sorry about the misunderstanding of the instructions. --KZ Talk • Contrib 06:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Jessica Liao sockpuppets

Dear KZ, after I posted an admin notice-board incident here, you suggested I post the request in another section. I hoped that I would not have to do this after I already asked for a checkuser request. I don't know how to post a WP:AIV for 1 user and 3 ip addresses as it seems divided between the two sections. Since the admin noticeboard report has been since archived with no action against the user (although there has been an unrelated ban of one of the ips) I was wondering if you could suggest further action I should be taking. MrMacMan 21:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Posted on AIV for you....they should be blocked soon. --KZ Talk • Contrib 06:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Done. All users have been blocked, however because of possible shared ip addresses, the ip's haven't bee blocked. --KZ Talk • Contrib 06:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. You have been a great help! I hope that I and wikipedia don't have to see her sock-puppetry any-longer. Again, Much appreciated. MrMacMan 07:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

School of Ed mediation

KZ - Could you please share with me the next steps that happen after the informal process of WP:MEDCAB? User:Skaraoke, whom I am seeking mediation with at here, has removed the tag from the page and has stated they will not participate in a voluntary mediation process any further. This would not bother me if User:Skaraoke laid off. However, they continue to make accusations about me and my WP contribs, as well as slander me personally. I am looking for advice on next steps. Thanks. - Freechild 21:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, so User:Skaraoke has now threatened me and again taken then mediation tag off of School of Education. I am going digging for next steps, but if you could provide any guidance that would be great. Of all of the contributions I've made on WP this is the first time anything like this has happened; I'd suppose there are odds involved in there, right? Thanks for any help you can provide. - Freechild 23:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
If he will not participate in a voluntary mediation, feel free to send it to WP:RFC. It seems that you have tried to settle the matter with him personally, but has got no results, as yet. If RFC fails, send the case to WP:MC --KZ Talk • Contrib 01:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Maybe one of the lessons I've learned from this is that when a new editor has indicated they will not participate in any form of voluntary mediation, the other party has to be committed to going through the rigmarole of going all the way to WP:AC. Lesson learned. I suppose I will endure. Thanks for your advice. - Freechild 06:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Pro Wrestling in Australia

Kzrulzall, thank you for your contribution to the admin report by Wackadoo Xanadu. My friend Mal Case has been having trouble supporting my view, and getting some ill-informed propoganda from certainly RCW and to a lesser degree HRPW regarding the truth of relations between the two feds. I'd rather not say anything more than that in public - being a past recipient of the threats RCW fans and certain wrestlers engage in. Indeed, the legal threat issued to both myself and Mal should not have been published by Wackadoo, and she should be yanked into line for that as Isotope seems to have done. I did warn editors on the talk page to avoid giving either fed any space at all on Wikipedia - and it seems Wackadoo is ignoring that warning and the consequences are now becoming apparent. And to be honest, it is her poor handling of this that is the problem. I wouldn't be here at all (per my user page) if Mal wasn't having so much trouble. If you can activate your email I'll contact you privately and give you the full details of what is really happening including iron clad proof - which bluntly I can't trust Wackadoo with as she is showing herself to be extremely careless in her handling of the situation in my opinion. Oh, and Mal never said he was leaving WP. That was me, and I have explained to you the reason why I have returned temporarily. I hope that explains matters properly - and I should sarcastically thank Wackadoo for forcing me to use up Internet Cafe time after Mal rang me and told me about this. Curse of Fenric 05:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh PS - by making a legal threat, RCW have in fact proven that I am telling the truth. They do engage in threats. Curse of Fenric 05:12, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

It should be activated now. Apparently, I had to change my email for a friend, but forgot to activate it on Wikipedia. --KZ Talk • Contrib 05:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
PPS - I'll just noticed that Durova has blocked Wackadoo for the offence! It's probably too late though unless an effort is made to keep both feds off WP. I also noticed an anon remove HRPW calling them "bkyd" and it was reverted by someone I know is associated with HRPW. Thanks for the email activation - I'll email you from home in the next 24 hours.

Tennis portal link

Hi KZ, do you really think we need two links to the portal on tennis? Most articles I've seen just have it in the "See also" section instead of the top. Either way, I think it needs to be one or the other, but not both. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 21:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't see it in the see also section....You can decide. I only put it on the top because of what another featured article did. --KZ Talk • Contribs 21:46, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

The above archive is a past discussion. Please direct all new discussion to the current talk page. Thank you.
