[edit] Vandalism Belen_Jesuit_Preparatory_School

You marked me as the vandal but then removed that. Please block 209.136.11.40 that's the IP of the school they used to be blocked for the same reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.238.171.131 (talk) 15:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] A little award

The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
Awarded to KnowledgeOfSelf for reverting vandalism to my userpage...again. I seem to have become a magnet for uncivilness lately, so keep up the good work! NF24(radio me!) 23:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
And thanks for blocking them as well. I didn't know until an RFCU involving them was denied. NF24(radio me!) 00:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
no problem, it usually means you are doing something right when you piss off a troll or vandal enough that they attack your userspace. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the encouragement

Regarding my crashing wikipedia repeatedly for 10 minutes, an event you aptly referred-to as the MJ-thingy, you probably have no idea how sick I felt... I could have vomited.... thankfully Ryan Postlethwaite came to my rescue and summoned a developer with magic pixie dust. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement. JERRY talk contribs 00:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

No I've never bogged the wiki down like that before, but I've had my share of gut wrenching experiences, shit happens. :-) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:78.148.93.102

This anonymous user was given an 'only warning' by me for vandalism of Ruth Kelly. I reported him/her when they continued to vandalise the page. He/she blanked the talk page to remove the warning. Cheers, Xdenizen (talk) 05:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pre Deletion Trama

I am working on an essay at User talk:Pharmboy/PDT and asking input from a couple of editors and admins whom I most trust. I see a lot of tension in AFD/Speedy from new users who jump into writting new articles, and even find myself BITEing the newcomers from time to time, and think an essay like this will actually improve Wikipedia by reducing tensions and helping educate the newcomers who are adding articles. If you feel the essay is worthwhile, please feel free to edit it, as it is still rough. If you feel it is not worthwhile or better covered by an existing article, please leave a note to that effect on my regular user talk:Pharmboy talk page. You are also free to ignore this request and I won't have any hard feelings. Pharmboy (talk) 16:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll give a look sure, but it might be a few days before I get around to it. Cheers. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 18:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 75.33.251.148

Heads-up: suspected TyrusThomas4lyf sock-puppetry from 75.33.251.148 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). Myasuda (talk) 17:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Luna took care of it, thanks Luna. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:38, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AIV

Thanks. :) Guess you learn something new everyday. Rudget. 16:38, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

Hi,

I received a warning for some Flying Spaghetti Monster thing, and I have no idea what a Flying Spaghetti Monster even is, and I never made any kind of contribution to the Flying Spaghetti Monster page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.71.168 (talk • contribs)

Hi, that message is from November of last year. This address is most likely dynamic and when you were assigned it, you received someone else's warnings. You can avoid this by creating an account. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 16:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Super Speedy Admin

Thanks for the really fast action on that guy "Wikiscrewer" obviously a vandalism only account, he got my userpage, as well as someone elses. Glad to see that you are always on the prowl. Cryptk(talk) 16:38, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Linkspammer

I was going to report this to AiV but whenever I do that I always run across a "puppies n duckies n bunnies" admin who doesn't handle it with any teeth. So I thought I would report whine directly to you. Check out the lyric links from Piotr127 (talk · contribs). Seems to think every music article should have a link to a lyric site... which I think violates WP:EL where it says "don't knowing link to an external website that has copyvio content". Am I right? I think I am I always am :D 156.34.212.152 (talk) 21:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Ooo. Yes you are, and I've reverted the edits with the offending links, I also went to far and reverted some ok edits. I think I fixed what I messed up. :/ I've given the user a message as well. Thanks Libs. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 21:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
No duckies n bunnies here.... just balls :D . 156.34.212.152 (talk) 22:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Winslow Homer

Hi Knowledge, would you please check out the vandalism war going on here now. Several vandals hard at work simultaneously. Thanks, JNW (talk) 15:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Both blocked. Acroterion (talk) 15:54, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Acroterion. I'm still waiting for that Best Buy discount, are you? ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 18:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the revert! This has to be the best vandalism I've seen on my user page since this. Thanks again! Acalamari 18:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

You're popular today. I've given up on Best Buy, but I await my invitation to the Cabal meeting. Acroterion (talk) 18:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] God damn it...

Thanks for the revert... I'm trying to explain to the user about notability, but it isn't getting anywhere. Jmlk17 10:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, his comment seemed rather trollish, hence the revert, good luck with explaining it to him. Some people just don't want to listen. Tis a real shame. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 10:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nazism talk page

I have placed something in the talk page explaining my edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Itchy01ca (talk • contribs) 10:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I believe this is for you:

[edit] Skyview High School

It happened some time ago, but you should keep your hands off my school's wiki. I know those guys and their nicknames are legit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.187.124 (talk) 09:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

The above message was left on my talk page... but you're the one who reverted their "legit nicknames" :-D - And, yeah... do what he says: "keep your hands off of his school's wiki" ...or else! I don't know what else... but I'm sure it's something bad... like maybe another message... or... something... I don't know... :-D Take care! ScarianCall me Pat 11:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Ha he left me that message too. I removed it as it was in the wrong place, and is utter nonsense. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 11:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Intervention

Can you you intervene an issue? IP 200.116.128.56 (talk · contribs) is now 8RR over the last few days on the Motley Crue page. User:Funeral, myself and other have used clear edit summaries to restore an already discussed topic... Mr 200 doesn't seem to know English (based on his one talk blurb I am not sure if he'd understand and lengthy explanations. I don't feel like shading 3RR just to correct him. I'm lazy and surly :D Can you peak in? Thanks and have a nice day! 156.34.142.110 (talk) 17:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I reverted, he reverted back, 9 reverts in one day, I already submitted for vandalism via 3rr as non-admin, we will see what happens. Pharmboy (talk) 17:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
It appears as though the 'RR' ip is swapping addresses to keep his opinions ongoing. rotten anonymous IPs!... none of them can be trusted... Wiki should be a registration only project! :D . 156.34.142.110 (talk) 19:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandals

You get all the amusing vandals. – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't I know it! ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 14:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
I see you around a lot fighting vandalism. I believe it's time you get recongized for it, so I award you this barnstar. Kannie | talk 16:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] semi protect my talk page, please

Hi, the anons who've been at Luna's talk page have started in on my talk page; could you protect it, or at least watch it? User page, too if the the semi has expired. Thanks, Jack Merridew 16:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Done, locked for 16 hours. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 16:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. --Jack Merridew 16:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yo!

Steve, could you shoot me an e-mail when you have a moment? I'm out the door in a minute, but I'll get back to you later. Talk to ya! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your block of User:Hoopburger

Please undo your indef-block for vandalism. I wouldn't call this account's edits to Mockingbird vandalism at all. It would be an appropriate response if xe were replacing the page with "gay" or something similar, but this just looks like a misguided attempt to add content, and seems like a very WP:BITEy block to me. Regards, shoy 16:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I happen to disagree, he was reverted and warned not to do that, he repeatedly undid the reverted vandalism, he was warned from test 2-4, and then blocked. If you want you can ask an other admin to examine the block and if they agree I won't object. But vandalism is vandalism. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 16:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Controversial theory

Enjoy! El_C 10:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Top notch as usual. Love the edit summary. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
LOL. One of my favorite things on RC patrol is "understated" edit summaries... Antandrus (talk) 04:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
One of the funniest things I've seen yet (can't remember who thought of it) was replaced 'penis' with article. Antandrus (talk) 04:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
OoOoOo. If you could dig up a diff on that, it'd go into the HoF. I must add the above too. I'm falling behind! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
This isn't as funny, because it wasn't original (I saw someone else do it, mm, maybe in mid-November... I don't know a way to search the database for edit summaries). Antandrus (talk) 05:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Doing our work for us, what can I say! :D El_C 00:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
lol, they have both been enshrined. I thank you for helping to contribute to the funniest user subpage on the wiki. (I hope it will be one day anyway.) As always keep them coming, I'll make em hip. ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:29, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting

Hi there, can you help me ... I don't suppose there is any easy way to undo all the edits by a particular editor. For example if all their edits are adding link spam? I think I know the answer is no, but you might know more than me! Thanks. MSGJ (talk) 21:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a master rollback that is available to admins only. There are automated tools you can use to revert vandalism/spam. See Twinkle. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. Would you have a look at Special:Contributions/71.243.120.202. Almost all of their edits have added an external link to one particular website. If you felt it was appropriate, perhaps you could use your super master rollback tool? MSGJ (talk) 12:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Come back :(

We need you. I can't fight vandals on my own! — Xy7 (talk) 21:28, 10 January 2008

Ah I needed to stay away for a day and clear my mind. I wasn't gone for long. :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
:D — Xy7 (talk) 17:30, 11 January 2008

[edit] 163.153.27.11

I unblocked this one at the request of User:NERIC-Security, which oversees the network in question, since they have better tools in place to track down and identify the vandal in question. Just letting you know ... this has been a long term problem but we and they are making progress. Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem here, let us hope that NERIC-Security works out. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Impersonator

By the way, I don't know if you saw this guy on your userpage the other day, but I thought it was kind of funny. I blocked him for ya. :P GlassCobra 12:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Appreciated. Thanky. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 12:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:201.37.60.119

All I did was remove the technique section which other registered members themselves are removing, and putting the variations section before the Healing section, the way it was before, wanna call someones attention? Talk to the person who insists in putting the technique section. Take a closer look next time. 201.37.60.119 (talk) 13:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

When you make a major change like that, coupled with the removal of sourced context, you will be reverted, especially without the use of an edit summary. Provide a valid reason as your e.s. and you are less likely to be reverted or confused with a vandal. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Award

The Hard-to-Swallow Award

Sometimes, things go astray on Wikipedia and our faith in the project may go astray as well. Frustration is really hard to swallow, but hopefully this award will make it easier. Thank you for standing for what you believe. Your attitude is so much stronger than frustration. Keep it up! Best regards, Húsönd 17:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Husönd, your message means more to me than the award, but I appreciate them both just the same. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Reverted, not blocked as he's not active. I'm watching the address though. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for reverting my talk page and extending the block on that IP. Unfortunately, he will probably be back with another IP. Don't be too surprised if you now get caught up in his "you're all the same people" theory. Oh. =\ -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Any time, he'll get pwned erm blocked if he continues. ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 23:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Sure enough, he came back and left you some choice messages. Welcome to the club. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which I withdrew with 5 support, 14 oppose, and 9 neutral. Thank you for your comments! Whether it was a support, oppose, or neutral, I likely got some good feedback from you. I will probably do another RfA in the future, but not until I work out the issues brought up.


Soxπed Ninety Three | tcdb 17:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Mmm, I didn't vote I simply commented. As an aside, it is rather curious that your signature left the date "January 12", when in reality you left this message on the 14th. Very odd. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

An anti-anon editor has ruined my day and attacked my Static IP talk page. Could you make me feel better by granting me non-admin rollback capabilities :D . Just kidding. :D . Have a nice day! 156.34.142.110 (talk) 13:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

lol. Mmm you'd be hard pressed to get it from me even if you were a "named" user Libs. I was/am opposed to non-admins having that bit. Alas my voice was a like a small woman screaming "fuck me", while the complete disrespect shown consensus was a large man screaming "NO fuck you!" Though truth be told, you are one of the few who in my eyes are not only in need of, but are deserving of that tool. Good days to you Mr. Anon! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 23:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your opinion

This edit (read the edit summary carefully) is Libs pushing the limits of WP:BOLD and exposing Libsy's "plus grande nads" to all Wiki and seeing just how long it takes a logo crufter to rv the edit. I believe, based on both the policy and the long overdue discussion on it... that the edit is a valid one. Wikipedia, by it's own mandate, is to be a free encyclopedia promoting free-use content when/wherever possible. You just cannot get any more free-use than plain text. Most bands copyright their logos and therefore using them requires well worded fair-use rationale. And if free-use always wins out over fair-use... I think my edit summary is noble, just and true. Time will tell. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Do you have a third opinion. I would be most interested in finding out. And I invite you to go ahead and invite anyone you wish into the conversation. Perhaps the discussion can be moved to my static IP page where it can be an informal chat... rather than a discussion... leading to consensus... leading to guidelines... leading to policies... and all that other Wiki-crap :D . Does free-use always win? I think Wikipedia was built on the foundation of "free-use". What are your thoughts? 156.34.225.75 (talk) 01:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow, firstly I must say I'm surprised it's still there perhaps there is hope yet! ;) The edit is perfectly valid, but I suspect someone may oppose/discuss/revert it sooner or later. I think that free content is 100% preferable compared to fair use, though fair use when used properly does no harm. Most copyright laws relating to images confuse the hell out of me, as evidenced by my scant 7 or 8 uploads, (Most of which were for personal use, or were deleted.) I think I have about 3 images that I've uploaded in article space. :P If you really seek a third opinion or the opinions of people who know more about this than I, you could try posting this at AN. Surely someone would offer a golden nugget of either wisdom, or complete stupidity. Cheers Mr. Anon. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

It's a terrible shame to see you go, KoS! You have been a fantastic Wikipedia editor, and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors! Nishkid64 (talk) 20:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Sad to see you go. Take care. We had some good laughs around the end! El_C 20:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Farewell my friend ... ah yes, "time to move on." I do know what you mean. And your userpage message does indeed show "knowledge of self". Very best wishes, Antandrus (talk) 23:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Sad to see you go, always considered you a intelligent editor. I hope to see you change your mind, best of luck. Tiptoety talk 05:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

There's a time to move on and also a time to come back. Hopefully you'll eventually get around to the latter. Either way, many thanks for your work Steve and adieu! (for now) :D Spellcast (talk) 09:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm so saddened to hear of your departure, my dear friend. I do understand and respect that there comes a time when people move on to other areas, but of course, selfishly, I wish this were never the case with you. I will miss you greatly, as I'm sure many others will, as well. I wish you all the very best in the next project you take on, and I'm sure you'll improve it as you did Wikipedia, for the many years you were here. Please feel free to email me at any time if you'd like to keep in touch. ~*Ariel Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold 00:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Really sad to see you go. I hope you'll be back some day. I wish you all the very best! Best wishes, —αἰτίας •discussion• 00:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

No! That can't be true! :'( … I wish you all the best, see you soon, hopefully here. :( Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 00:35, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I can't believe what my eyes are reading to the point where I greatly wish they are deceiving me. I, like many other editors, will miss you and wish that someday you might return. For now, I guess, it's farewell, good luck and best wishes. AngelOfSadness talk 00:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your fine contributions. Best of luck, JNW (talk) 04:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Very interesting tidbit

AHA! YOU JUST GOT SUPERGLUED!!! Now you have to stick around. Muahahaha.
AHA! YOU JUST GOT SUPERGLUED!!! Now you have to stick around. Muahahaha.
I'm still working on how to make it work over the internet.
... I had to at least try. :P --slakr\ talk / 08:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks everyone I appreciate the support and sentiments left to me on this page and through email, and I apologize for not directly responding until now. I *haven't* completely left Wikipedia. Truth be told I'm really busy in real life, which is the main reason behind my abrupt "departure." It is not burnout or anything negative. (Though, I don't miss the trolling and vandalism!)

It was simply my time to move on and focus on more pressing matters in my life. I may be "back" one day I may not. Who can say at this point in time? But as of right now, I am not back and I do not foresee coming back in the immediate future.

I do want to say that I'm still around as an anon using the wiki as a resource. And there is nothing to be sad about at all! :)

Kindest regards to you all. KnowledgeOfSelf (talk) 23:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the Help

Even though you might not read this I want to thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page (although I haven't updated it in a while). It was nice of you and I appreciate it. -Vcelloho (talk) 03:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:208.108.198.128

Hello, KnowledgeOfSelf ... I hate to bug you, but would you please block 208.108.198.128 (talk · contribs) for a few weeks? ... I know that it's a school IP, but this account has done nothing but vandalism, and I have just reverted their edits to Grace Hopper (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) for the second time in two weeks ... Thnx! — 72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 18:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, please note that KnowledgeOfSelf has retired Wikipedia.. so please ask another admin at WP:AN or you could ask anybody in the administrator category just a quick few people that might be able to help: User talk:Ioeth User talk:Rudget and User talk:Delldot however, I would suggest leaving a message at WP:AN instead as you would get a faster response with many administrators watching that page. --The Helpful One (Review) 20:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy Deletion of Wakfu

I'm not sure this article was a candidate for speedy deletion. CSD A7 "applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on." The article was about an upcoming software application (specifically, an MMORPG) under active development, not the website or organization announcing it.

Would it be possible to get the article undeleted and added to Category:Upcoming video games in time for the game's beta test, so that it won't have to be rebuilt from scratch? Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 23:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion Review for Wakfu

[edit] Thanks :)

I just realized that you reverted vanadalism from my user page back in November, Thanks. :) QuasyBoy 13:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shoe vandalism accusation

I'm sorry if this is not up to wiki protocol, I hardly make edits, but you accused my IP of vandalizing the article 'Shoe'. I'm 100% certain I've never been to that article before. I am not a vandalizer, nor do I ever plan to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antictzn113 (talk • contribs) 04:15, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
