About me

Guess who... As you probably guessed my name is Glen, I'm a 32 year old Kiwi. I'm an administrator here, as well as a VandalProof moderator and Vandalism Control Network Staff member for the vandalism channels such as #vandalism-en-wp. In real life I'm the Managing director of diverse companies; From clothing to energy supplements. I just happened to find Wikipedia in late 2005 when a Tom Cruise parody website I designed had this article written about it. My primary activity here on Wiki is the elimination of all vandalism, trolls and cruft. However, I have written several articles, usually related to my fairly wide interest base; Cults fascinate me, and because I am a former bodybuilder and have a 1st Dan black belt in both Tae Kwon Do and Ryu Kyu Kempo Karate I write about all subjects related to fitness, and the martial arts.

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed...

[edit] you reverted me

but you didn't read it first! I want a competent person who knows what they're doing to move Nicolas Saunderson to Nicholas Saunderson where it belongs. Read my edit on Nicolas Saunderson which you reverted! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.111.233.218 (talk • contribs).

You hardly went the correct way about it - you wrote "Shit. Bollocks. Swearing. This is vandalism, I'm getting your attention. Will someone who knows how to, please revert this rubbish I'm writing, but also change Nicolas to Nicholas, and put him back on the right web page." - vandalism as admitted by yourself. Write your request on the article talk page and ideally reference your claim. - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 22:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: re:

Ok, I've put it on the talk page of Nicolas Saunderson. Bet nothing gets done. What should I do, just copy and paste to the new location if I want to do it myself?

[edit] hey

Does vandalism count towards the 250 minimum? What about this message does this count? Talk pages and stuff can I just talk a lot on my own site and stuff? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Furry Roadkill (talk • contribs) 13:06, 8 May 2006.

[edit] Dr. George Tjionas

It isn't exactly the same as the deleted content, I sent it to AfD, so it should be gone soon. Prodego ^talk 02:52, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert on digital Photography

Hey there!

Sorry, I thought I was providing a link to a valuable tool for the community of people who are looking for information on Digital Photography. Didn't realise this was so offensive! <Vbinfo 10:19, 8 May 2006 (UTC) PS what has this to do with Tim Shadbolt???? (post below nothing to do with me)

Tim Shadbold edit wasn't vandalism, this really happened 203.211.68.137 09:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

No doubt - however it was your reference to him as an idiot that was the vandalism. If you'd like to add that please read WP:NPOV first - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 09:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The links you removed are actually not commercial in nature...

Glen, you have jumped the gun here, the links are not commercial, they were put there to be helpful. Aren't you being just a little judgemental? Vbinfo 10:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the post you made on your talk page re: my having "small country syndrome": Interesting comment considering you too are from New Zealand... Christchurch is it? I'm afraid vbinfo.net is a commercial link, after all, it does have a paid insertion option. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming and Wikipedia:External_links#What_should_not_be_linked_to. Enjoy your time here. Oh, and PS; The post above re Tim Shadbolt was made by User:203.211.68.137 regarding my reverting his post calling Mr. Shadbolt an idiot - it had nothing to do with you. - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 11:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links to SUPERAntiSpyware

Hello,

You have removed the link to SUPERAntiSpyware. The software should be allowed to be listed along side Ad-Aware (COMMERCIAL Product) and SpyBot. SUPERAntiSpyware is a FREE product just as SpyBot and Adaware. Please explain why those are allowed but SUPERAntiSpyware is not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.32.127.46 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Revert on Livermore High School

Not quite sure why re-adding some original information was considered vandalism. I was simply restoring what was originally in the article that had been deleted by vandals (judging from the edit history).

The original information about our rivalry should never have been deleted, because it never mentioned anything about one school being better than the other, or one school "sucks" more than the other. Much information was removed that describes school events also. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kdepa (talk • contribs) 12:05, 10 May 2006.

[edit] Paul Cain

Dear Stollery,

Do you dispute the facts that I have posted on this article? How would you suggest they be presented?

I'm not sure what your point is; it is not obscene to be a homosexual.

People should know why Paul Cain dropped off the radar, and why Mike Bickle, Rick Joyner and Jack Greene publically rebuked him.

-Bill —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.126.93.180 (talk • contribs) May 10, 2006.

Thanks for contacting me to discuss this. It's certainly preferable over an edit war so I appreciate it. I reverted your addition because you can't just randomly brand someone (anyone, let alone a Christian Minister) as "an alcoholic and a practicing homosexual" without proper references. The "reference" you added was to a webpage that no longer exists, and even if it did it is certainly not a valid source (being someone's opinion). If these facts are indeed true then you must be able to find a valid reliable source for the claims. If not, then they are POV and libellous. Hope this makes sense, and please buzz me if I can assist. Thanks again, - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 18:14, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TON 4 MUSIC / TON 4 Records

Hi Glen,

I just added my label to wiki and got the message that its marked for deletion because of its promotional nature. I've changed the text and hope its fine now. When will it be undeleted and how can I add our artists and an external link?

cheers, Patrick

[edit] Paul Cain

Glen,

Sorry about the wayback machine line. The link had changed; It should have been

http://www.morningstarministries.org/feature/sb/2004/SB06_04.html

Here's what Paul Cain himself had to say about the situation in March 2005

A Letter of Confession

I must apologize to the body of Christ for my recent conduct. I want to correct the denials that I made earlier in reference to charges brought against me. I acknowledge the following:

1. I have struggled in two particular areas, homosexuality and alcoholism, for an extended period of time.

2. I apologize for denying these matters of truth, rather than readily admitting them. I especially apologize to Rick Joyner, Jack Deere, and Mike Bickle for my misunderstanding of their attempt to discipline me according to Matthew 18. I have come to appreciate their loving intent for me in this process.

3. I am ashamed of what I have done to hurt those close to me and the pain I have caused those who have believed in my ministry. Particularly, if I have hurt anyone by my actions of emotional or sexual misconduct, I am very sorry. I sincerely ask for your forgiveness.

I have submitted to a team of leaders in the body of Christ who are supervising every aspect of my restoration. This team is headed by Larry J. Alberts (Fathers and Families Together, Minneapolis, MN) and Dr. Daniel J. Kim (Destiny Training International, El Monte, CA). Larry has considerable experience in restoration ministry and has been requested by leaders such as John Wimber, Rick Joyner, and Francis Frangipane to help restore highly significant ministers in the body of Christ. Daniel directs a training center which emphasizes biblical spirituality and prophetic reformation. I have submitted to Larry and Daniel to develop an appropriate program, involving professional treatments, so that I may walk in moral purity, spiritual and physical health, and wholeness of life.

With hope in Christ,

Paul Cain

I cannot find a current link on Cain's website, however this have been archived by the wayback machine from Cain's official website. I saw the original when it was posted.

http://web.archive.org/web/20050305180223/http://paulcain.org/news.html

It appears now that Cain has now decided to not continue with the restoration process with Larry Alberts. The reference for that is the Article posted by J. Lee Grady, the editor of Charisma magazine.

http://forums.strang.com/viewtopic.php?t=7820

Please note that Charisma magazine is a Charismatic publication, one that would normally ally itself with ministers such as Cain. Bickle, Geene and Joyer were also Ministers who worked with Cian. Cain spent most of his time with Bickle's church in Kansas City, Mo., when not travelling.

It is not disputed that Cain's ministry came to a screeching halt with the revelation that he was an alcolholic and a practicing homosexual. Nor is it disputed that he is not currently ministering, nor is he a pastoring a church (hence the change to "was" a pastor).

-Bill

Hi Bill, hey thanks for sourcing that for me (and for understanding). I'm actually just about to log off but thought I;d get back to you quickly to say please go ahead and (on the basis you provided) make the additions to the article. When I return I may come along and give you a hand with it too. Thanks again and God Bless :) - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 18:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Office of Special Affairs discussion on reliable sources

Why is Tory's website and articles a "perfectly acceptable source" ?? Please Talk:Office of Special Affairs --Nikitchenko 10:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Tory is not "perfectly acceptable" as a source to compose Office of Special Affairs article. Please re-read WP:V and WP:RS. Her articles can only be used to compose Tory Christman article. If you disagree then go talk to the people in WP:RS talk page and make an entry in our mediation page. --Nikitchenko 09:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

This is copied from the edit summary of when Stollery reverts me today: "I have explained TWICE on the talk page; WP:RS states does not state "only in the article about the person" but writing about the person. We are writing about Tory here! Watch your 3RR". Glen, talk to me in this page, not the editorial summaries. We are not writing about Tory, we are writing about the Office of Special Affairs. I don't like the way you keep reverting my valid changes. I don't think a 3rr should be applied in here so I made a complaint into our mediation page and documenting this. Again, I do not appreciate what you are doing. I will return when a mediator has responded. --Nikitchenko 09:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Will YOU please refrain from undoing MY edits repeatedly!!! I am disputing the statement the organization hired private investigators, fabricated criminal charges and harassed their targets, including at their place of employment, as well as their family members. because the source is dubious. Stop removing my dispute. I should not be blocked just because you keep removing my dubious tag and I have to keep replacing it. If Im blocked I will have to bring this up to RfC against you. --Nikitchenko 10:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

You have already made 3 reverts and your revert is against Wikipedia policy! And you are supporting false information. You should be ashamed of yourself! --Nikitchenko 10:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

3 reverts is acceptable, the fourth is not. People in glass houses... - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 10:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

People in glass houses? What are you trying to say Glen? Please address the discussion over content. --Nikitchenko 11:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia New Zealand

Hey mate, I'm not sure if you were actually interested or not, but if you are interested in helping form Wikimedia New Zealand, please add your name to the list at http://nz.wikimedia.org cheers, --NigelJ ^talk 05:05, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rape!

Hi, I think it is a mistake to remove Laius from the "rapists" list, he was not considered fictional by the Greeks and his act was a double act of rape, in that it was a kidnapping as well as a sexual violation of an unwilling boy. Haiduc 11:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

The category is for "individuals who have been criminally convicted of rape, or those for whom there is little academic doubt among historians as to whether they committed the crime." and the article in question begins "In greek mythology" hence he isn't appropriate for the category. Looking at the category there are no other fictious characters (and by stating 'Greek mythology' it is implied he is fictious. However I am not the be-all-and-end-all here by any means, and if you want to revert it I won't change it :) - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 11:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tanishq

I have removed the speedy deletion tag as this is the most prominent branded jewellery of India. There are several less prominent brands which we may be carrying in Category:Brand name products stubs. The contents of above article requires suitable modification. In any case, Tanishq and their promoters Tata Group do not require wikipedia to promote themselves. They are more than a 100 years old company of India. Regards. --Bhadani 14:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] declining for Vandalproof

Don't take it personal? DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL?!?!?! You bet I'm going to take it personal. I know where you live. And the things I'm going to do to you and your dog can't be spoken of here. I EM ELITE KEWL D00D! nOW GIVE ME ACCESS!!!! (just kidding) But seriously, I missed the fine print this time around. Missed where it says 250 mainpage edits. That's what I get for applying before actually having a cup of coffee. With luck, the ammount of vandal revisions will be low enough where that number won't be available for quite some time. But them, I'm the eternal optimist. Thanks for the consideration. Have a good weekend! (you can delete this note if you feel so inclined). Oh, and a great commentaty on Tony Robbins, but your mood indicator seems to be overlapping the text. Rsm99833 16:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delta Spartan Application

Arlight, Thanks Anyway. I should get more experience. :)

[edit] Dead professional wrestlers

Sigh. That was a cut&paste error. Cut&pasted the header into place, and did not edit in the correct result. The category was merged back into it's partent, Category:Professional wrestlers. I've fixed the debate header. - TexasAndroid 14:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

It's still telling me that my login request has failed. ^demon^{[yell at me]} /20:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It asked the first time. Now when I launch the program, it goes to a page and says "Your log-in request failed." Then it goes on to describe that you might have an incorrect username, etc etc. ^demon^{[yell at me]} /20:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reversions of Scientology

Just so you know, the 3RR doesn't apply to SIMPLE vandalism, such as someone replacing a well sourced paragraph with the word 'poop'. Although I could argue that he's deleting discussed, sourced material, to be safe, he is correct, and I should not revert again today. --InShaneee 20:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] On the nomination...

I am very flattered, but I need time to think. I have had several people ask before if I would like to be nominated for adminship, but I have always declined, not feeling that I possessed the patience that I believe a good admin needs to have. My feelings have changed somewhat due to various issues and incidents, but being nominated was still a surprise, and I honestly haven't made up my mind yet whether I actually should run for admin or not. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Your VandalProof Application

Dear Bornhj, Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.1 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that unfortunately you have too few mainspace edits. It is true that the 250 is a guide, however you have only 43 and as such we will need you to try again when a little more experienced. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 15:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

This box would be fine. Once I figure out where to put it, I will display it on my user page. Fetofs ^Hello! 23:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder about speedy deletion

Just wanted to remind you that failing to meet WP:CORP is not a criterion for speedy deletion. Only having no assertion of notability whatsoever is (CSD A7). -- SCZenz 01:30, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem at all, but one thing... I don't think, technically, that advertizing is a speedy criterion. (Please refer me to the appropriate place if this has changed.) I've been deleting most of what you've nominated as advertizements, but I'm a lot more comfortable phrasing them as articles that don't assert notability. -- SCZenz 01:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

If there is no assertion of notability, A7 certainly works for companies. But merely being an advertizement doesn't gaurentee that this is the case. For example, if we didn't have an article on Microsoft already, and someone submitted "Microsoft is a huge company that makes awesome software that everyone loves. You should buy some at their website right now." as an article, we'd want to stubify and edit for POV rather than delete. -- SCZenz 15:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for making the vandalproof moderator box

The loneliness of nights alone
the search for strength to carry on
my every hope has seemed to die
my eyes had no more tears to cry
then like the sun shining up above
you surrounded me with your endless love
Coz all the things I couldn't see are now so clear to me

You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knee
That you will always be
My everything

Now all my hopes and all my dreams
are suddenly reality
you've opened up my heart to feel
a kind of love that's truly real
a guiding light that'll never fade
there's not a thing in life that I would ever trade
for the love you give it won't let go
I hope you'll always know

You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knee
That you will always be
My everything

You're the breath of life in me
the only one that sets me free
and you have made my soul complete
for all time (for all time)

You are my everything (you are my everything)
Nothing your love won't bring (nothing your love won't bring)
My life is yours alone (alone)
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through (your spirit pulls me through)
When nothing else will do (when nothing else will do)
Every night I pray (I pray)
On bended knee (on my knee)
That you will always be
be my everything

[edit] External Link To My Website

I am the owner of a website you recently removed from the 'Beer' page, that is fine. I never actually added the link there and only noticed it when I checked my inbound stats and saw traffic originating from here.

I have the same external IP as it is my ISPs proxy server however.

Please accept my apology for someone adding it (even though it was beyond my control) and I hope it hasn't caused any problems. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.12.97.94 (talk • contribs) May 18 2006.

[edit] your comment

hi. i don't see how my edit comment was a personal attack. i wrote "amateur" because i reckon that the person on the picture is not a member of the IFBB pro division, hence an amateur.

oh that one. well it won't happen again, and sorry about forgetting the tildes. Jack Daw 14:35, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Please explain this edit[2]

Why did you remove other people's coments?

[edit] I apologise

I do not know how that happened. I assume I inadvertently edited a previous version. I am terribly sorry, you have my word it was an accident. I will apologise publicly on the page itself - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 21:45, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

That's Totally Ok. Just rv and re add your comments. No harm done. I've fallen victim to another glitch that deletes the bottom of long pages when you edit (I always triple check now). remember we are required to Assume good faith so you have noting to worry about. Just fix your mistake ASAP. If you fix it yourself people will generally assume better faith than if somebody else fixes it. The sooner you fix it the less people will know you make it.--E-Bod 22:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello.

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I got your message regarding edits made to the "Michael Sean Coulthard" page. Just so you know, I share this computer with my younger brother and it was him who edited the page. This is why I created this account by the name "Drakul". Anymore inapropriot (sorry about spelling) anonymous edits from this IP, just let me know and I'll deal with it.

Can I ask what exactly he had typed? I still find Wikipedia a little confusing at times. Infact I'm not sure if i'm messaging you correctly.

Anyway, sorry about my brother, I'll talk to him in the morning. Drakul 03:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your message - the edits were:

• "Rock Bottom into the dog poop, the dog poop, the dog poop....Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom into the dog poop! (At the end of the Dog Doo match between The Rock and The British Bulldog.)
• "It's Kane! It's Kane! It's Kane! JBL you sick Bastard! (May 19th episode of SmackDown!)

and

[edit] Vandal

Hello Stollery,

I've noticed a user adding pornographic links to innocent articles using different IP addresses:

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

etc.

This person is clearly trying to advertise some porn site and needs to be stopped, but the shifting IP addresses and the fact that I haven't got the Holy Smiting Powers of Adminship makes it difficult for me to do anything. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for the barnstar! Now the second one I've gotten from you :-). Though it's really you I should be thanking for all your help with VandalProof. It's nice to know I have people to keep everything running while I'm away. AmiDaniel (talk) 22:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VP user addition

Yes, that was my fault, I accidentally closed the approve users window before it was done saving. Then when I reloaded it again it must not have saved the whole thing, and left the users on the waiting to be approved list, even though I already added them to the list. Then you, seeing them waiting to be approved, added them, so then they were on the list twice. So I reverted you so the users would be listed only once, then I removed them from the waiting list. Prodego ^talk 18:33, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for the approval

Hi, thanks for approving me to use VandalProof. Have a nice day.

[edit] Stollery

I added a link in the Credit Cards article to www.choosingandusing.com which was removed. This is not a commercial site, and has been produced only to help consumers in an impartial manner. Though I understand the use of .com, this is a site that I have taken over and many references already exist to www.choosingandusing.com.

Could this please be re-instated?

If you have any queries please do let me know. Kind regards.193.130.61.85 12:47, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I have readded the link but reworded the description - I would suggest you also post a note on the talk page stating what you told me, and referring people to www.APACS.org.uk for more info. Hope this helps - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 12:49, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Credit Card Link

Stollery,

Though I do appreciate the fact that you have re-instated the choosingandusing link I think that the new one may cause confusion. APACS is the UK Payments association, and has its own web site. The link you have created suggests it will go to the APACS web site, and could cause confusion, especially for those using screen readers.

Am I able to change the link to 'An impartial guide to Choosing and Using a Credit Card created by APACS' or similar?193.130.61.85 13:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation Cabal case

The Mediation Cabal: Case change notification

Dear Glen/Archive2: Hello there. I'd like to let you know that in a Mediation Cabal mediation case that you are involved in, or have some connection with: Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-04-11 Scientology I've made the following changes: Made a preliminary analysis of the case, and requested that parties write a concise summary of their precise issues (here) I would be most grateful if you would please have a look at the mediation case page linked to above, and participate in the current stage of the mediation process if you wish. Of course, participation is completely optional, and if you don't want to take part in this mediation, that's perfectly OK. :-) If you have any questions or concerns relating to this dispute, the mediation, or the Mediation Cabal in general, please do let me know. Thank you very much. Best regards, NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 02:24, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VandalProof Moderation

Aghhhh, this is the second time this has happened to me, there are now too many moderators!! Prodego ^talk 18:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Both times I actually approved the user by the way. Prodego ^talk 18:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea how this happened, note the lack of edit summary, as well as the double message. It was done in VandalProof however. Prodego ^talk 18:44, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Vandalproof

The reason for this is that for security reasons, VandalProof's creator requires it's users to have made 250 edits to articles, which you have not...

I thought I had over 200 edits, how many do I have now? Mostly Rainy 03:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, you've got over 270 total, but only 114 mainspace (article) edits which are the ones VP counts (click here to see). Does that make sense? - Glen TC (Stollery) 03:44, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I thought you meant total edits. Why aren't other edits counted? Mostly Rainy 03:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Because edits on other spaces (like user talk pages etc) aren't usually involved in vandalism patrol and we just need to be sure that you have experience doing that. Have you been on RC Patrol before? - Glen TC (Stollery) 03:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I've done it. It's difficult to do with the "rollback" feature and I think software would help me better if I could use it. Mostly Rainy 03:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't see too much use of the {{test}} templates to warn vandals do you use them? - Glen TC (Stollery) 03:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I usually just revert the page. Mostly Rainy 04:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

See the truth is the warnings are more important that the actual reverting - Glen ^T_C (Stollery)' 04:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I've tried it and until I'm able use the software, will usually close AfDs and create disambig pages. BTW, have you been promoted? Mostly Rainy 05:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sandbox

Oops. I didnt read the page, figuring it was the sandbox >_< just searched for sandbox. well somehow i found the right one now, sorry for ruining sandbox :( Idea: Get a good version of sandbox and protect it to avoid this error?.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.197.2.40 (talk • contribs).

Is there an easy way to tell if edits are welcome? It seems most times i try to edit WP i just get reverted, often by a bot/admin. Is the idea to just add new info if you have it, or am i missing something? 72.197.2.40 06:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] peteg913

please do not add things back onto my talk page. peteg913 02:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

You are not to remove warnings from your talk page, it is considered vandalism - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 02:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  ?

Did you not see I was just blocked for catching an admin for doing the same thing? Admins can't break the rules, either. So, I ask, why are you busting me on this? What's on my talk page is my business. I will do one of your god damn archives when I have time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Peteg913 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Re: User:Peteg913

Already done. RadioKirk talk to me 03:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad you wrote and noted the edit conflicts, but you neglected to change the text of your message to reflect that you had made the report. When I saw that, I was in the process of writing the blocking admin to ask for an unblock based on your reporting the user three minutes before telling me you were going to. I'm still considering suggesting an unblock based on the time frame. RadioKirk talk to me 03:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

On what basis is he deserving of an unblock? He was warned 5 times about talk page blanking (3 times via his page and also via a conversation on my talk page) and then threatened " I will do one of your god damn archives when I have time" on my page. It seems to me on the basis of either the block is more than valid - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 03:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

On what basis? Because you had asked me to intervene, and I was attempting to intervene; it's somewhat disconcerting to find that effort cut off, seemingly by the person who had made the request of me. Still, the user has not complained (as yet) about the block, and the time-out may not be a bad idea. In the future, however, may I ask your diligence in making sure your edits are as up-to-date as possible when you click "Save page"? Thanks. :) RadioKirk talk to me 03:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

As a note to that, I blocked him for three hours given his past and your convincing message on AIV; however, I'm not entirely confident in the block myself. I'd be willing to remove the block if asked. AmiDaniel (talk) 03:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, it seems my position is off base. Please accept my apologies both of you. - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 03:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Accepted. :) RadioKirk talk to me 03:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Now unblocked. No need to apologize, but accepted from me as well. AmiDaniel (talk) 03:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
