[edit] Welcome

A warm welcome to the English Wikipedia, dear Hexer! If you have questions, please don't ask on my talk page, because I'm not active here. Just ask one of these people. Most of them are happy to help (but only if nobody stole their passwords, of course). :o) We (I don't mean myself very much but rather the community of the English Wikipedia) look forward to your contributions! Have fun! --Thogo (Talk) 22:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

i don't know where else to post a message, but i want the page written about me deleted. you keep putting it back up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpodd6 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sceptre would like to nominate you for adminship!

No hurry, of course :) Will ^(talk) 22:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, okay. It's possible to start the RfA on July 14, before 2 o'clock pm UTC? It would be wunderful 'cause then I'll have vacations. :) Maybe you add some links, e. g. [1] [2], [3] or [4]. I could do this, too, replying to the three "questions for the candidate". Greetings and thanks for your confidence, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Ey! Marcus Cyron 14:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Sry, werde hier regelrecht belagert von vorschlagenden Benutzern. :| Wenn hier alle, die wöllten, und die, die ich dazu noch gern hätte, die Laudatio schrieben, hätten wir so sechs bis acht Personen. Aber freute mich natürlich über deine Stimme. :) Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:42, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I've co-nominated you. Клоун 15:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Id would have been better to ask me first so that I can't hardly deny it now. ;) … I hope that not any more co-nominators will appear here. Thanks for your confidence! :) Greetings, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's better if someone else will nominate you here - because here I'm not a "Star" *g*. Nearly nobody knows me and if I nominate you with my horrible english, they maybe laugh but dont give you the voice. So we will wait a longer time until I can nominate someone for adminship here afte at de:WP ;) (for the others: DerHexer is already Administrator e at the german-language-Wikipedia and I had nominate him there for the election). The interesting thing is - Hexer is

1. Student
2. Wikipedia-Author ("Portal:Latein"/"Portal:Latin")
3. Admin who works a lot at the RC at the de:WP
4. and here at the RC.

He's a true Wikinator ;). Marcus Cyron 22:00, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Person on Irish Wiktionary

I don't read Gaelic, but it looked like the account had not made any edits. I suppose it's possible that it's just a coincidence, but if the usual way of dealing with this is to usurp, I suppose I will usurp it. Thanks for the heads up. Natalie (talk) 13:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I see what you're talking about from looking at the above posts. If the account is blocked, I guess I'd just like to scramble the password, since I'll probably never contribute to Irish Wiktionary. Where do I make my usurp request? Natalie (talk) 14:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, would you be willing to recreate it and scramble the password? Natalie (talk) 14:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Easter bunny

• Hallo derHexer
• Hallo Splash

I have made a small contribution to the Article Easter bunny, concerning the origin of the Easter bunny tradition. As I suggest that many user will read the article, please feel free to check and perhaps change it. I have tried to name my sources. Furthermore I have the feeling, - in observing the history of the Article – that last night there were signs of a beginning edit war ? Perhaps you should watch a little bit to the article.

[edit] User:Mic of orion

Hallo Hexer!

Du kennst mich ja aus de. ;) Oben genannter Benutzer hat massenweise URVen hochgeladen. Die habe ich alle markiert. So weit so gut. Seine Antwort war aber nicht gerade freundlich. Ist das der normale Umgangstaon hier in en oder wie? Wo kann ich sowas melden (Gegenstück zu WP:VS in de)? Im Moment denke ich, braucht es da zwar noch kein Eingreifen eines Admins, ich warte erst mal seine zweite Antwort ab. Aber ich wollte trotzdem mal einen Admin darauf ansprechen und da kamst du mir gerade recht (immerhin sprichst du wenigstens die selbe Sprache wie ich).

Gruß, Chaddy (talk) 22:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

P. S.: Ach ja, und die Markierungen hat er auch wieder eigenmächtig von den Bildbeschreibungsseiten entfernt, sehe ich gerade... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaddy (talk • contribs) 22:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Ich schau's mir an, wenn's mir wieder besser geht. WP:AIV ist das Pendant zu de:WP:VS, allerdings nur für offensichtliche Vandalenaccounts zuständig, ansonsten ist WP:ANI zu empfehlen. Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Danke Hexer!

Du schreibst "wenn's mir wieder besser geht". Was hast du denn? Ich wünsche dir jedenfalls gute Besserung! Chaddy (talk) 22:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Mittlerweile das zweite Antibiotikum, da schon seit ca. zwei Wochen krank und kurz vor der Reise. Ansonsten noch viel Uni- und RL-Stress. Dazu kommt auch noch der SUL-Stress – gerade jetzt müssen die Stewards dies gründlich organisieren, ach ja, und meine Meta-Adminkandidatur endete auch noch. —DerHexer (Talk) 22:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Achso. OK. Das wird schon wieder.

Eine Meta-Adminkandidatur? Du hast doch sicher erfolgreich kandidiert? ;) Ach ja, und viel Spass in Griechenland! Chaddy (talk) 22:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Zurück zum Thema. Leider ist dieser Mic of orion unbelehrbar, wie man in dieser Diskussion unschwer feststellen kann. Er entfernt auch weiterhin die Markierungen von den Bildbeschreibungsseiten, auch nach zweimaliger Ansprache auf seiner Diskussionsseite. Außerdem hat eine IP gestern meine Benutzerseite vandaliert ([5]). Kurz darauf hat dieselbe IP die Marlierungen von einigen Bildern entfernt. Ich bin mir deshalb ziemlich sicher, dass das Mic of orion war. Er droht auch damit, die Bilder wieder neu hochzuladen, falls sie gelöscht werden. Die Bilder jedenfalls verstoßen gegen unsere Auffassung von Open Source, denn es gibt lediglich eine Freigabe für "wiki" (dabei ist noch nicht mal klar, für welches wiki...). In anderen Fällen gibt es lediglich eine Freigabe für Unterrichtszwecke. Also alles eigentlich sogar SLA-würdig (zumindest in de wäre es SLA-würdig). Ich habe mich deshalb dazu entschlossen, mein Anliegen dort vorzutragen. Wenn es deine gesundheitliche Verfassung zulässt, kannst du ja dort auch mal was dazu sagen. Chaddy (talk) 01:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Mittlerweile wurden die Bilder überraschend gelöscht... Gut, mal schauen, was Mic of orion dazu sagt. Chaddy (talk) 03:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Ob der Benutzer die IP benutzt hat, kann ja ein CheckUser herausbekommen, ansonsten ist die ANI wohl der richtige Ort dafür. —DerHexer (Talk) 10:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Layer in the shaft?

Schicht im Schacht = Layer in the shaft, according to Google translator.

What's that mean? 21655 ^τalk/ _ʃign 23:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Es ist definitiv nicht Stonkers? :-)

BTW, of the three Stonkers pages, the German one is the only one which doesn't mention the "It's definitely not Stonkers" in-joke, of which the above is a (BabelFish, hence crude) translation. -- 217.171.129.73 (talk) 15:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Apparently, Hexer has a "duty in the mineshaft", whatever that may mean. Schicht could mean "layer", but could also mean "duty", "working service", or "shift", as well as a shift of workers or labourers. Schaft means "shaft", often a "mineshaft". - Face 20:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

217.171.129.73, I don't really get what you're saying. What does "Schicht im Schacht" has to do with that Stonkers game? - Face 20:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

It means that there's a break during the work in shaft—and I'm on "holidays" in Greece: de:Benutzer:Jonathan Groß/Exkursion. —DerHexer (Talk) 14:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What does DerHexer mean?

I know that hex (German plural hexen, hence the Ravensoft FPS — whose end-of-game boss is Korax, after the Latin for "raven") is the German and Old English for "witch", hence I'm guessing that it means something like "the wizard". ("Der" == the masculine definite article? I know that German has three definite articles, roughly similar to the English "the" pronounced like "fur", "the" pronounced like "free", and "that"; but like most English people I know hardly anything about other languages.) — 217.171.129.74 (talk) 23:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

That is correct, it means "The wizard" but I do not know if he is referring to the game you mentioned. --Tubesship (talk) 06:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Imo TheWarlock is the correct translation, but my name before was User:TheWizard. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Was the name perhaps inspired by this wizard? - Face 17:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

IIRC "warlock" is a derogatory term in pagan circles (pun not intended), meaning something like "oathbreaker"; the correct (according to many sources, probably most notably the Harry Potter series) masculine term for "magical person" being "wizard". But we could argue etymology and usage until the end of time, if not beyond. :-) -- 217.171.129.78 (talk) 02:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The second one. —DerHexer (Talk) 14:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry what I done. I repented it on the day. --62.158.122.25 (talk) 20:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Hallo Hexer,

[edit] Kosovo und Admin Dieter Bachmann

Hallo Hexer,

Ich habe gesehen, du bist auch für das englische WP zuständig und dort gibt es ein Problem mit dem jüngsten Staat Europas. Ein Admin namens dab (aka Dbachmann) möchte partout verhindern, dass Kosovo wie andere Länder auch, an prominenter Stelle eine Länderinfobox und eine Flagge bekommt. Seine Begründung lautet, dieses Land wäre nur teilweise anerkannt und daher seine Existenz umstritten. Ich antwortete ihm daraufhin: "I never said it is undisputed. You can write this in the article. Nevertheless there are much more disputed countries that are treated in a country-style way with country box and flag at the top, like for example Nagorno-Karabakh_Republic or like Transnistria with no country recognizing them and no UN seat or like Northern Cyprus also with no UN seat and with only one country recognizing them."

Seinem früheren Argument folgend, dass Kosovo auch keinen UNO-Sitz hätte, entgegenete ich ihm, dass auch Deutschland erst 1973 einen UNO-Sitz bekam. Er lässt sich jedoch argumentativ nicht beeindrucken und bedrohte sogar einen anderen Admin (Husond): "I would be careful, you two. I could collect some rather telling diffs on both of you and the state of your "good faith"... dab (𒁳) 12:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)", siehe hier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kosovo_%28geopolitical_region%29

Vielleicht könntest du weiterhelfen und Kosovo wie andern Ländern auch zu einer anständigen Infobox und Flagge am Artikelanfang verhelfen? Ich danke dir schon mal im voraus,

[edit] User talk:74.71.141.93 --- This is your last warning

Original page I got to this MSG from, but have never even read, before today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Coral_Sea_%28CV-43%29

   USS Coral Sea (CV-43)

page I alledgedly (sp?) edited: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Neutral_point_of_view

   Wikipedia talk:Neutral point of view

I'm on a cable broadband link, which holds your IP address for as long as you keep your cable modem up and running. about twice a week, I lose my cable connection, or at least the router stops talking to the cable modem, and I have to reset portions of the system. When I have to reset the cable modem as part of the reset, or the cable modem resets itself, requiring a reset of my router, the IP address I am assigned comes from the available pool. Sometimes it's the same, sometimes it's different.

I have, on occaission (sp?) edited wikipedia articles. When I do, I always bookmark a link to see if it gets re-changed by someone within a couple of days. If it is, I go look at the discussion page to see why.

In this case, I made NO CHANGES, prior to now, nor did I try to change ANYTHING, I just tried to make a comment in the discussion page of the original page I read (for the FIRST TIME).

This is the first time I have seen "This is your last warning", or any commentary of any kind that indicates I violated any rule. I got it on a page I don't recall ever READING, let alone editing.

I looked to see what edits might have been done by that IP address, but can find none in the first two pages of past edits, let alone one that constitutes "vandalism".

The thing says something to the effect of "you can eliminate the problem by signing up for some sort of account" (paraphrase, not actual quote). Quite a while ago, I signed up for an account, but some idiot put an immediate hold on it, (less than 5 minutes after I created the account) for reasons that he/she never explained, so I reasoned that one is better off doing edits anonymously. Ever since, I have only done them that way.

I have no interest in becoming part of the "Wikipedia Community", and in fact view your "encyclopedia" as nothing better than a bunch of "high-school" to early "college-level" research papers, that have NOT YET been graded for either grammar or accuracy, and only look at it if I want a brief overview that a HS or BS level student would understand, and 100% accuracy is not required. If all I need is a brief idea of something, with 80-90% accuracy being good enough, then Wikipedia is the best source. But I am NOT going to bother trying to "improve" your "encyclopedia" if this is the kind of hassle I get when I try.

[edit] Redirects and speedy deletion

Well, actually, it is "ignore all rules" deletion. See here. It seems that adminbots have been running to delete "orphaned talk page redirects". I was told here that you imported this practice (of deleting orphaned talk page redirects?) from the German Wikipedia, so I thought you would be interested in joining the discussion. One such discussion started at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#CSD G6 clause "cleaning up redirects". I've also proposed that anyone who wants to expand the current criteria for speedy deletion of redirects do so over there. Carcharoth (talk) 10:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clayton Bennett

Hey, I wanted to get an admin opinion on a situation. An editor made some changes to the article Clayton Bennett. I've been reverting a lot of those changes one edit at a time because I was finding sources to back up what I was saying. In my opinion (which I think is correct), the previous editor user:Coz_11 didn't make statements that were backed up by the sources. However, I'm afraid I'll be accused of violating WP:3RR if I remove the other mistakes in the article. What should I do? Chicken Wing (talk) 16:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind for now. I missed this part: "Consecutive reverts by the same user with no intervening edits by other users will be counted as one revert." Hopefully, all of these issues can be resolved without it become an edit war. Thanks, anyway. Chicken Wing (talk) 16:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

It would be better if they actually were open proxies, weren't dynamic, and weren't blocked indefinitely.

I am doing a project for class and need to write a wikipedia article I was wondering if you could describe to me what goes into an article to make it successful on wikipedia.

Please have a look at Wikipedia:Article development. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Sambc

Hey DerHexer. I'm just stopping by to let you know I undid one of your open proxy blocks. It was affected Sambc and the whois shows it's actually a university owned IP. I'm fairly sure it's not an open proxy, but could you have another look? Ryan Postlethwaite 11:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that's correct. —DerHexer (Talk) 19:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

You mean, you agree it's not an open proxy? SamBC(talk) 19:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It's not an open proxy. —DerHexer (Talk) 20:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Cheers DerHexer - just wanted to double check with you. Hope everythings cool down your end. Ryan Postlethwaite 08:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:129.21.148.17

I am a bit concerned - why did you block User:129.21.148.17 as an open proxy? They're requesting unblock, and my tests show it to be a Tor client, but like much of the Tor network the policy forbits any traffic from exiting... where did you get the data that it was an open proxy? krimpet✽ 19:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to second this concern, as it affected me (see above section); you blocked an awful lot of IPs as open proxies recently, and I'm wondering why? SamBC(talk) 19:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

de:Kategorie:Wikipedia:Gesperrter_Proxy, m:NOP. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I guess that means some (who knows how many) of these open proxy blocks on the German language wikipedia aren't too correct either. Do I take your comment to mean that you went through the list of IPs blocked as open proxies on de:wiki and blocked them as such here as well? SamBC(talk) 19:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I've just blocked some of them here and stopped it some days ago. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 20:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Could you please tell us how you confirmed these 2,410 IPs were open proxies, and why multiple false positives appear to be popping up only a week afterwards? :/ krimpet✽ 22:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Block of 165.21.155.114

Yep, real wise move blocking bbcache155-114.singnet.com.sg which is obviously an caching proxy server for an ISP. I have to ask, did you do any testing whatsoever of this IP address yourself or did you blindly port this block over from de.wp? nmap turned up nothing for me and I can't proxy through it myself via ports 80, 3128 or 8080. And looking over the other false positives raised on your talk page, I too have to question your credibility. --  Netsnipe  ►  18:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DerHexer is watching you vandalise

Someone photoshopped an image of you upside down from a ceiling title a while ago and I can't seem to find it, I know you remember this, do you remember what the image was called, or what page its used on? --Charitwo ^talk 04:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Monobook again :)

Hey Mr. Wizard long time no see! I guess a recent interface change messed up the modified monobook you created for me. I had to delete them in order to edit the wiki on the monobook skin. Would it be possible for you to look into and correct this? Thanks in advance! Cheers! :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Please ping me on IRC. ;) —DerHexer (Talk) 23:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm that'll be hard to do, I don't have as much time on my hands as I used to. :( I have been trying to catch you on IRC for a while now, we never seem to be on at the same time anymore. Ah well hopefully I'll see you soon. Cheers. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:28, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 06:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm not really active on en:wp., very busy in RL, and my English is not so well so that it would be difficult for new users to understand me. ;) Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:49, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anon talk page protection

Hi. Would it possible to protect the user page of User talk:207.38.198.63? They insist on replacing the page with vandalism. Thanks! Pinkadelica 23:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Y Done Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Was sind das denn für Volltrottel hier? *kopfschüttel*

Gelten denn hier Diskussions-Verschiebereste tatsächlich als erhaltenswert? Ich glaub's nicht... [6] --S^[1] 19:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Och, die hab ich mal mit einigem Protest aufgeräumt, bei 130.000 Löschungen und N* haben dann ein paar Leute meine Idee/Skripte übernommen und unter ihrem Account weitergeführt. Wird also irgendwann so oder so mit irgendeinem Bot aufgeräumt. Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editing of the guc website

I've edited the sentence in the history section because it's structure isn't alright, the philosophy section is more of an advertisement for the university it only contains some irrelevant information & the main source of the information is the guc website which state some misleading information .

[edit] your recent block

[7] It's the fourth block, and it vandalized within a few hours of the release of a one month block. I was thinking three months or six months would be more appropriate. Enigma ^message 17:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

o_O I've checked the log … strange … extended the block length. Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thank you for reverting the vandalizm on my page. I have been on Wikipedia for a long time, but just recently created a page. I just have one question. Was your page ever vandalized by one user over and over again? And Im talking about in like summer 2006. Gregory E. Miller (talk) 23:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC))

You're welcome. My user page was more than 100 times vandalized on three or four days in June 2007. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Holy Crap! Wow. Im so sorry. Gregory E. Miller (talk) 21:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Dein revert-script

Hallo DerHexer,

weißt du, weshalb dein Script nicht, wie üblich, eine erste, zweite, dritte und vierte Warnung hinterlässt, sondern sofort final warnings? Den Grund meiner Frage findest du hier. Wäre schön, wenn du das fixen könntest. Lieber Gruß, —αἰτίας •discussion• 13:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Das war so gedacht. Zwei Warnungen sind vollkommen ausreichend. Möchtest du eine dritte Warnung ergänzen, musst du nur var levelthreewarning = true; in deinem Monobook ergänzen. Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Query about David R. Hawkins page in Wiki

Hi there DerHexer,

I have recently read one of Dr. Hawkin's books. I am surprised there is no page designed to explain his work on Wikipedia? I noticed that there seems to be some editorial issues with the previous content of the page. Do you have any idea why the page David R. Hawkins has been protected? Very curious...

Peace,

[edit] My recent RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA, which unfortunately didn't succeed. The majority of the opposes stated that I needed more experience in the main namespace and Wikipedia namespace and talk space, so that is what I will do. I have made a list and I hope I will be able to get through it. I will go for another RfA in about three month's time and I hope you will be able to support me then as well. If you have any other comments for me or wish to be notified when I go for another RfA, please leave them on my talk page. If you wish to nominate me for my next RfA, please wait until it has been about three months. I will not be checking back to this page so if you would like to comment or reply please use my talk page. Thanks again for participating in my RfA! ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 07:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Camp de Rivesaltes

Hallo der Hexer, - habe heute diesen Stub auf Grundlage der französischen Wikipedia angelegt. Wenn Sie da ab und zu mal ein Auge drauf werfen könnten.

How the heck did you do manage to do this? J.delanoy^gabsanalyze 18:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure if you missed my comment at #Open proxy block for 161.200.255.162 (talk). Would an anon-only block be appropriate? --Paul_012 ^(talk) 16:57, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spengler

That is pretty mean Hexerlein. There was a very interesting guy who looked closer into Spenglers manipulative use of Eu reports that completely contradicted, what he claimed they said. Why didn't you give the people--like him--that studied case a change to change the article themselves instead of deleting it? Inquiring minds would like to know?

I am mad!!!! I thought, I only needed to go back to Spengler's talk page to find a link to person and research. There is no doubt a larger quite interesting propaganda pattern. You sure did not do a good job here.
