[edit] Doctor33

I think he may have created another sockpuppet: User:A2007, the account was just created today but has already done the same type of nonsense. I'm telling you since you reported him the first time. TJ Spyke 23:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I found a new sock of his. see User:D12111's contribs. What is up with this guy?-- bulletproof ^3:16 06:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

AHHHHH!!! He's back as User:D12111 again!!!!-- bulletproof ^3:16 03:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Montreal screwjob FAC

Hi Oakster - observing your interest in professional wrestling articles, I request you to have a look at this article and weigh-in on its FAC. As you can understand, there is a paucity of interest in the subject around here so I do value your input. Rama's arrow 20:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Oakster - I reiterate my request for your input on the FAC. Please do have a look and comment at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Montreal screwjob. Cheers, Rama's arrow 22:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Verdict

Thanks, Oakster. This user occasionally changes the image names. I thought I had the images on my watchlist but it turns out I didn't. I should be able to pick up Verdict socks more quickly in the future but please notify me of any I haven't caught. Hopefully fewer will slip through now. Just an account name is fine, I can quickly block and then roll back any edits so there's no need for you to even revert the changes. I appreciate your efforts at keeping this particularly troublesome user out of Wikipedia. --Yamla 23:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Once again, thanks. This guy is one of the most annoying vandals on the Wikipedia. At least he's not one of the most damaging. --Yamla 19:50, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vince McMahon

C'mon, what's wrong with "boldy" people, Bobby Lashley is a "boldy". lol, keep on keepin' on man... Bmg916 ^{Speak to Me} 16:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow, I just realized I was the last contributer before you. I wanted to let you know I certainly did NOT make those edits, I must've missed them rv'ing the vandalism that I did. Thanks for sweeping up after me. Bmg916 ^{Speak to Me} 16:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Our best buddy

Left some vandalism on your talk page, reverted it. Bmg916 ^{Speak to Me} 12:12, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

We really should report him to his ISP. Wikipedia should consider legal action. I'm not kidding, this is getting absolutely ridiculous. Bmg916 ^{Speak to Me} 12:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sortkeys

I started a discussion at Template talk:Sortablename, since there seem to be a number of unconnected efforts to create sortkeys for sortable wikitables. ~ trialsanderrors 20:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WM23

I know Undertaker didn't, but I think the druids came out to "O Fortuana" (I say I think because i'm not sure if the music was the same one the druids came out to at WM XIV). TJ Spyke 22:34, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confirmation for Image:Michaels-sweetchinmusic.jpg

Hey, I copied the response from my e-mail and put it on my talk page, got the link and put it on the image discussion page. Would that help? Zerorules677 15:42, 03 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:sortable date

Hi, I saw that you had created template:sortable date, but this is redundant with the existing template:dts. I saw that you had only transcluded this template on a single article, which I have already switched to use the more widely used 'dts'. If you agree, I can speedy delete 'sortable date' to clean things up. Thanks, Andrwsc 22:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Randy Orton

Hey, the image that's on Orton's article was edited by the dude that uploaded the image. How do I know? Cause I found the original image. I thought I should let you know. Batmanrules677 12:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC) [1]

Your welcome. Glad I could help. Batmanrules677 16:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shawn Michaels

Hi, thanks for putting my edits in, after the bot blocked me. However, I'm extremely wary of not putting any links in the article, incase the bot, decides to block me (I'm on my final warning). What should I do? I was getting the links as I feel this could be a GA-candidate with a load of links in. Davnel03 17:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't matter, I've put the links on anyway - 100 references!! Davnel03 19:34, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Could I nominate it for GA-candidate - or would it just get rejected? Davnel03 19:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Doctor sock

You know those socks that keep adding nonsense about WWE and Bratz from Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/216.83.121.194 and Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/216.83.121.194 (2nd)? Well there's a new sock around - User:ECW11313 - See his contribs.-- bulletproof ^3:16 23:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the late response. I just got back from a week long Wiki-break. Yeah this guy is really annoying. There are ways to ban this troll indefinitely. We can file a report on Community sanction noticeboard and have him get a community ban or we could request that he have a Long term abuse page like the one our 'ol pal JB196 got at Wikipedia:Long term abuse/JB196. Lord Deskana and Yamla can help us do this properly. This troll is getting on my nerves. What is up with that obsession he has with WWE and some brand of dolls anyways? I had to put all Bratz related articles on my Watchlist just so I could hunt his socks down. -- bulletproof ^3:16 04:26, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Another sock! User:Cholo1132 What is up with this guy?-- bulletproof ^3:16 01:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

It would certainly help in this situation, yes.-- bulletproof ^3:16 16:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Trust me he's not Verdict. Adam was just some 14 year old kid who had a tough time with our policies. His edit history is much different than Verdict’s. I've been watching the situation over at Commons. -- bulletproof ^3:16 18:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Very interesting. Most of the images the user on commons uploaded are the same images Adam edited on here. I can tell you another thing; those WrestleMania X-Seven images are not free. I saw them on a set/stage design site. Hmm lying about copyright status... Think you got him-- bulletproof ^3:16 19:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem really.-- bulletproof ^3:16 05:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commons Uploads

Thanks!!!! My photo editor wasn't really working with me!!! And, I was gonna ask you if you could of helped me with the Orton image; since you've uploaded some stuff from flickr!!!! Thanks for fixing it!!!  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Do you think this image might work for the New Breed's infobox?  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, I could ask him to change the license!!! That's what I've been doing with some of the images I've uploaded so they could work here!!! Just let me ask him. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I just sent him an e-mail!!! Also, I was just in MySpace and the big news is that Chris Benoit is dead!!! What's your deal on it?  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Really? Were you a big fan?  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

He was tough!!! He kicked ass!!! But, is is sad!!! First Vince now Chris!!! I wonder who's next?  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

The Orton one?  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:50, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

You're Welcome. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey I have a question!!! Concerning Randy Orton's article!!! On his Bio, do you think there's good detail to have have the quality scale at "Start"? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

The Marine info. is mentioned in the Before they were Superstars DVD!!! Do you think that might work? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

You are Welcome!!! I'm just here trying to put the right information!!!! --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey, do I have your permission to remove the reliable / sources banner from Shane McMahon's article? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] speedy tags

Hi. Let me save you some time: just tell me where you're getting all these wrestling image speedy deletions from and I'll delete them. No sense in you going tagging all of them. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 20:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. (what a bore that was!) Almost all of the remaining pics in the category should be moved to commons if you have the patience to do so (I sure don't!). Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 22:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] titles FT

In regards to the List of WWE championships page, perhaps we should move what you have done to the mainspace under the name "List of active World Wrestling Entertainment Championships", clean it up, and then see if we can get it peer reviewed. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pedigree

Listen, I found an image of the Pedigree and I got permission to use it in Wikipedia. And I don't know if it would be appropriate that Triple H is about to Pedigree Chris Benoit!!! Since all of this controversy occurred!!!! Do you think it would be appropriate to use it? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:58, 06 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I know!!! I forwarded them my e-mail confirmation, and I still haven't heard from them!!! Maybe their on vacation!!! I know, your just doing your job, I understand. I'll see if I could reach them!!! But, I will get that confirmation. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:47, 09 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CM Punk

Thanks for doing the thing with the dates to comply with the FAC comment. I was going to do it last night, but I've been concentrating on the Chris Benoit murder-suicide article, which I'll be concentrating on also in the next few days. Thanks anyway! Davnel03 12:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Apparently, the IP block was ineffective. The user is using a new sock. See User:Bratz12. If he was able to create a new account, I'm willing to bet he has a new IP and won't hesitate to make more socks. -- bulletproof ^3:16 21:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem. ;) I actually consider you one of my Wiki-mentors. Since, you gave me a whole lot of feedback for the use of images, so I thank YOU. P.S. Would you like to sign my autograph book? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Snoop Dogg

I agree that his involvement should be noted, but I am not sure it should be in that section. I suppose for now it's fine, but after the PPV airs it should probably be mentioned in the Event section of the article. What do you think? TJ Spyke 16:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I see that you did a redirect to the other article however you removed the speedy deletion template in the process. I have no problem with you changing it to a redirect and i actually appreciate it, however, instead of deleting the speedy deletion template perhaps next time you could add a {{Hang-On}} template so as to either let me delete it myself, or an admin to delete it.
