Anaheim Hills

Yes, there's a long history. See Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ericsaindon2, Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ericsaindon2 (which is incomplete because we stopped adding to the list), Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ericsaindon2, and many AN and ANI reports. The person is prohibited from paticipating in Wikipedia, though that hasn't stopped him from returning every few weeks to restore the material to Anaheim Hills or to recreate another article that also promotes the area. The basic problem, beyond his obsessive behavior, is that the material is out of proportion, unsourced, and otherwise glorifies a barely-notable community. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 07:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Brian O'Connell

I've just finished making a complete fool of myself by falling for a hoaxer (who had changed some Wikipedia pages to make his hoax consistent), and not only pompously removing a speedy tag but trying to improve the article. Luckily someone AfD'd it before I went too far; then I started tracing the external links, rather than the Wiki-links, and realized I'd been had. This really does deserve to be speedied, I suggest, but since my judgment is obviously compromised about this, I don't think I should do it myself. Would you mind putting me out of my misery quickly? (Only if, I hasten to add, you think it's justified -- if not, I'll blush for the requisite number of days until it closes naturally.) Accounting4Taste:talk 05:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

EFD

May I inquire as to why my username is one of those listed on the blacklist at the new EFD? --FastLizard4 (Talk•Index•Sign) 06:07, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

Hello, GlassCobra! Regarding the Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Despres you closed, I noticed you were the only (real) participant in the discussion (other than the nom). Judging from the comment from the user in question, you were probably in the right, but as a general rule if you participated it is frowned upon to close out the MfD resulting in delete (unless I am mistaken, in which case I apologize ahead of time). Simply to prevent yourself from any scrutiny, may I request you have another admin second the deletion. Have a good weekend!--12 Noon ^2¢ 17:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for supporting my RFA

	Thanks for your support, my request for adminship passed 62/0/0 yesterday! I want to thank Snowolf and Dincher for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and since you are reading this, I haven't yet deleted your talk page by accident!). Please let me know if there is anything I can do to be of assistance, and keep an eye out for a little green fish with a mop on the road to an even better encyclopedia. Thanks again and take care, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 18:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Sage Vivant entry

Hi, there. I noticed you are a new administrator and I also noticed that one of your first acts was to delete the entry for Custom Erotica Source founder Sage Vivant. There had been some discussion about this entry more than a year ago and after that discussion, it was decided that the entry should remain, especially since she had a book with a major publishing house published in April of 2007. Did you confer with anyone else to delete this entry? What prompted the arbitrary and sudden deletion of it, please? She is a widely published author with several anthologies to her credit as well as a non-fiction book, and she operated Custom Erotica Source -- the only online business of its kind -- for 10 years. She closed her business last week, and it seems especially harsh to have her removed from Wikipedia at this time.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 01:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I saw your warning to this user. This user has been adding unsourced material in almost every article he edited.
I contacted with another administrator about this issue but he did not reply. The situation is the following. Please read this.
It seems that there's a possible sockpuppetry case around these two accounts. Reply here, thank you.--Tasc0 01:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Deleted the worst album in the world ever.

You just tagged a page I was editing for speedy deletion? Why? If you mean the page was an attack page because of the title maybe a little research before you jump might be a good idea, it's a genuine album title. If that wasn't the reason maybe you'd care to share? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaltenbrau (talk • contribs) 18:42, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, GlassCobra. The request was made on a whim - I genuinely don't see access to admin tools as being a big deal - but it turned into a good learning experience, and my skin is thicker than all that.

Image source problem with Image:TR-808 MIDI Retro-Fit.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TR-808 MIDI Retro-Fit.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn (talk) 16:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

An Administrator is I!

KoL images are copyrighted, so I'll use this PD one instead.

Thank you for your support in my quest to become a sysop. Although I am now wielding the keys to my very own Bitchin' Meatcar, I promise to uphold the laws of the land, martini in hand, in a way that would make Saint Sneaky Pete proud. I will do my best to be a Jack of Several Trades (although I may be a Master of Nuns). I promise to Heart Canadia. And I will make it my goal to Make War, Not ... er, Wait, Never Mind.

I am glad to serve my guild, the League of Wikipedians. If I can be of any assistance, or you have any questions, suggestions, or criticisms in the future, please let me know. And if you are at a loss for what any of the above actually means, see this website.

Thanks again.

And by the way, I won't say no to a Loathing-inspired name ;)

An Encyclopedia is We! - Revolving Bugbear 22:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

America's Next Top Model, Cycle 10

Why did you revert this? It seems perfectly reasonable to me to not include the number of episodes of a TV season that hasn't yet aired if there isn't even a source saying how many episodes there will be, and it also seems reasonable to not include a finale date when that is always subject to change. I am not aware of the exact rules regarding this, but every other TV show article I've seen, including ones that are heavily edited by admins such as The Office, do not update the episode count until the episode airs and do not put the finale date until it airs.

Ye Art Cordially Invited to the Annex

Hello, My good Fellow, listen and I shalt telleth Ye a Tale of a Wiki that well comes All Manner of Articles relating to Fiction. What is This wonderful Place of Fantasy, You ask? It is the Annex, Haven to All fiction-related Refugee Articles from Wikipedia.

Before nominating or proposing a fiction-related Article for Deletion, It is My sincerest Hope that Ye import It to the Annex. Why do This, You wonder? Individuals have dedicated an enormous Amount of Time to writing These Articles, and ’twould be a Pity for the Information to Vanish unto the Oblivion where only Administrators could see Them.

Here is a Step-by-Step Process of how to Bringeth Articles into the Annex:

1. Ye shall need at least three Browser Tabs or Windows open. For the first Tab or Window, go to Special:Export. For the second, go here. (If Ye have not an Account at Wikia, then create One.) Do whatever Ye want for the third.
2. Next, open the Program known as Notepad. If Ye haveth It not, then open WordPad. Go to “Save as,” and for “Encoding,” select either “Unicode” or “UTF-8.” For “Save as type,” select “All Files.” For “File name,” input “export.xml” and save It. Leave the Window open.
3. Next, go to the Special:Export Window at Wikipedia, and un-check the two small Boxes near the “Export” Button. Input the Name of the Wikipedia Article which Ye wish to import to the Annex into the large Field, and click “Export.”
4. Right-click on the Page full of Code which appears, and clicketh on “View Source” or “View Page Source” or any Option with similar Wording. A new Notepad Window called “index[1]” or Something similar should appear. Press Ctrl+A to highlight All the Text then Ctrl+C to copy It. Close yon “index[1]” Window, and go to the Notepad “export.xml” Window. Press Ctrl+V to pasteth the Text There, and then save It by pressing Ctrl+S.
5. Now go to the Special:Import Window over at the Annex. Clicketh on “Browse…” and select the “export.xml” File. At last, click on “Upload file,” and Thou art done, My Friend! However, if It says 100 Revisions be imported, Ye be not quite finished just yet. Go back to Wikipedia’s Special:Export, and leave only the “Include only the current revision, not the full history” Box checked. Export That, copy the Page Source, close the “index[1]” Window, and go to the “export.xml” Window. Press Ctrl+A to highlight the Code all ready There, press “backspace” to erase It, and press Ctrl+V to pasteth the new Code There. Press Ctrl+S to save It, then upload once more to the Annex. Paste {{Wikipedia|{{PAGENAME}}}} at the Bottom of the imported Article at the Annex, and Ye art now finally done! Keepeth the “export.xml” File for future Use.

Thank Ye for using the Annex, My Friend — the Annex Hath Spoken 05:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
