[edit] sockpuppetry
Hi this is mrbsball825, and i am sorry for any inconvience. My cousins, brother, and I are bored out of our minds since we're on summer break. Crocsie is only 9 and he really doesn't understand that he should respect other people's userpages. sorry once again.
[edit] Chicago Landmark Stubification
I noticed that you have edited Whistle Stop Inn this week, which is one of the new WP:CHICOTW stubs. This week, we WP:WPChi are focussing on stubifying the numerous redlinks in Chicago Landmark with a goal of getting over half the redlinks stubified (we began with about 25%). This will improve our chance of getting it approved as a featured list candidate. When reviewing this week's new stub contributing editors your name was absent. You may want to choose a redlink or two from Chicago Landmark and create a stub before this week's project ends on 5/16 so that you can be a part of our drive for featured list status.

Last week you helped edit the Chicago COTW, but did not vote. Thank you for your help! Your input in future selections would also be appreciated. This week Magnificent Mile has been chosen. Please help improve it towards the quality level of a Wikipedia featured article. See the To Do List to suggest a change or to see an open tasks list. See past CHICOTWs. Note our good articles.

[edit] Chicago Landmark Stubification
I am writing you because you either (1) edited Chicago Landmark 5 weeks ago when it was the WP:CHICOTW (2) edited it or created a stub last week when we had the stubification drive for it or (3) you nominated an article to be the CHICOTW in the last few days.
I have finally had a chance to take a tally on last week’s stubification effort. Based on my manual count we now have 109 bluelinks on a total of 241 landmarks. Preliminary indications were that for our article to be successful at WP:FLC we would need to eventually rename it (something like List of Chicago Landmarks) and get the majority of the landmarks linked. Based on my cursory count we need to write 12 more articles to get to a majority. It would be great if you might be able to assist by creating a couple stubs to assist in this effort. Here are some of the stubs that were created during last week’s efforts: Black Metropolis-Bronzeville District, Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Arthur H. Compton House & One North LaSalle. Among the articles still redlinked are 2 buildings on this week’s CHICOTW, Magnificent Mile (Perkins, Fellows & Hamilton Office and Studio, Woman's Athletic Club). Recall that each redlink on Chicago Landmark has a footnote to a reference that gives you enough info to create a stub. If you create a new stub please add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago#Newly_Created_Chicago_Related_Pages so that we can keep track of the progress.

[edit] AJ Allmendinger
Excuse me but that AJ Allmendinger edit was not vandalism, if you can check, he made the Coca Cola 600 in a current car, making my edit an update not vandalism. He made the race, i have proof.

I tend to revert anything by an active vandal as soon as possible after he edits, so he gets the idea that his edits won't last more than a few seconds. --Rrburke(talk) 03:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GuerillaClock
Hi there; I have, indeed, blocked this user for a short time, as you warned him would happen. But it is better if you use the authorised templates for issuing warnings, which can be found in WP:TEMPLATE. It can sometimes be difficult, as an admin, to be fair to an article editor who may not understand the details of wikipedia without undermining the comments of a competent editor such as yourself.--Anthony.bradbury 21:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip. These are great templates.

[edit] Wiki
Hello, I read your userpage and noticed that you like airsoft. There is a wiki I'm a part of, called the Gun Wiki (wikia:guns), that has a few articles on airsoft; I wanted to ask you if you might want to come and join, the wiki can always use users with knowledge pertaining to guns. Happy editing! Brain40 04:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! I've been there before and I'll try to contribute as much as I can! Cheers, JetLover -- Talk to me! 04:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sandboxes
I made a sandbox on my userpage to test things, Later i found a red link to my sandbox because it was deleted. I have corrected the link, I think this link is correct [[User: oysterguitarist/Sandbox|sandbox]] tell me if this is correct before i make it and put tests on it. And why do most wikipedians say cheers? Thank You.

[edit] Block Message
I came upon one of your edits while patrolling for vandalism the edit was to 72.146.114.242 you told him that he was blocked so, did you report him to AIV and tell him he was blocked before he was blocked or are you an admin and you blocked him? I am just curious. Cheers oysterguitarist~Talk 04:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Ok thanks so if i report somebody to AIV to i tell him he is blocked before he actually is. I am kind of confused cause of the way you put it. Cheers oysterguitarist~Talk 22:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, that makes sense now. Cheers oysterguitarist~Talk 22:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Users removing warning templates
What do we do with users who remove warning templates, cause i hade a user User:Corcyn who removed his warning message i just told him that's not allowed but i believe there is a policy on this and i would like to refer him to this now he is correcting grammer on my talk page (this happened while writing this message). Cheers oysterguitarist~Talk 00:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
The user above has brung up another question how do you deal with annoying users. I spent 00:33 to 1:43(UTC) dealing with this user. Cheers. oysterguitarist~Talk 02:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I saw you took care of that user for me except i removed the warning about the my sandbox because my sandbox said that you can vandalize it and he annoyed me about that so i guess that one does not count. Please correct me if i'm wrong. By the way if he harasses me over this can you help me. Cheers. oysterguitarist~Talk 03:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I looked at the history for AIV it says ACB: Account creation blocked what does this mean? and thanks for reporting him. Cheers oysterguitarist~Talk 04:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Last warnings
Hello. I noticed that you left multiple last warnings for User talk:85.211.30.179. Once a last warning has been left, the next course of action is to report the vandal to WP:AIV. A last warning should be just that. Leaving multiple last warnings will never get the vandal blocked. Thanks. -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 00:50, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi there; when I am in the process of blocking a user, I would be grateful if you would not take it upon yourself to tell the user that I have done so. I will do that. Thank you.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 00:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- OK, it's not a problem. But an admin will normally post his own messages, and hitting edit conflicts can be a little disturbing. Happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 00:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 70.189.36.210 vandalism warnings
Hello,
I just undid some vandalism for "MP3 blogs", and was in the process of posting my warning message when you posted one. Does yours refer to the MP3 blog incident as well (in which case I'll scrap it since your username doesn't match up with the revert log), or does it refer to something else (in which case I'll bump mine up to level 2).

I have to know how you catch so many sockpuppets!

[edit] A strange proposal, but it's worth asking
I want to nominate you for adminship. I may be out of my sane mind, but here's why.
I've recently seen a couple of cases you've forwarded to WP:SSP. I wanted to ask you, "If the sockpuppetry is so obvious, why don't you just block them yourself?" Then I saw that...you can't.
I've checked your contribution history, and I found that you've made more reports to WP:AIV and WP:UAA than a solid fraction of admins who have been editing for much longer.
On the minus side, you've been editing only for the last 49 days, and your only significant article contribution barely survived AFD (but it looks fine now). The mood at RFA is to shun candidates with low experience and minimal article writing.
Still, I keep thinking that you already know the system well enough to operate it correctly. If you're willing to take a shot at it, I'm willing to nominate you and see how it goes. Shalom Hello 03:08, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] More help needed
If you have been following along at WP:FLC#List_of_Chicago_Landmarks you know we need help creating stubs for the List to make it a more useful list and help it achieve WP:FLC status. Since I reminded people of this 7 stubs have been created. We need about 40 more to be safe although we may have a successful candidacy with the article as it stands.
Some of you may also be following the success of WP:CHICOTW at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/COTW/Good Articles. For the last 4 weeks no one has been very active. Thus, I am fearful that Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Harold Washington Cultural Center, Crown Fountain, & Art Institute of Chicago Building will all fail at WP:GAC when their turns come up. Also, Magnificent Mile did not experience the collaborative spirit. Our reputation as a successful collaboration is at stake. In addition to making stubs for the FLC we need your contribution to our collaborations. I am sorry to pull you away from whatever other wikipleasures you may be experiencing, but we need your help.

[edit] Reno Nightlife
I would disagree with your message that my add to the Reno Nightlife page was not constructive. I think it is inappropriate to only mention downtown as "nightlife" in Reno while there is nightlife elsewhere. That is like saying Disneyland is the only recreation park in Southern California. The Reno page I think is used by a lot of new people to Reno or tourists, and I would think giving them a fair and balanced view of nightlife in Reno is constructive and what Wikipedia is all about. If elitists like yourself take over Wikipedia, it will become an encyclopedia like all others with very narrow views of what is "constructive" and what is not. I feel Wikipedia has too many self-appointed, so-called editors who feel it their right to determine what is constructive and going beyond their real duty of simply keeping vandals out and inappropriate material.
[edit] Stubification
You may have missed the message from yesterday. We need more stubs to fully satisfy the WP:FLC reviewers. TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

| Hi JetLover, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs. Whilst I would have normally thanked you at the time of you leaving your message, the importance of my not appearing to be canvassing prevented me from so doing. Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you. I intend to uphold a style of good adminship and will welcome your further comments at any time in the future, even if they are in the form of admonishment.

[edit] Warnings to a vandal about being reported to the admins
Hello - saw your message here and thought you might be interested to learn that there have been some pretty strong views expressed against templates that leave similar messages here and here - the basic theme being that it could encourage vandals to speed up before they're blocked.

Hi! I saw your message about the concerns over my username, and there was another user who expressed concerns as well. I can assure you that my username was never intended to offend anybody.

However, I appreciate your concern over the matter and your politeness in discussing it. I know that some usernames are blocked for obvious reasons. Accordingly, I will change my username later today to avoid any confusion (and possible blocks) in the future. Thank you and take care. User talk:I Saw My Coach in a Skirt 2 July 2007
