[edit] Blocked!

Psiphiorg 18:47, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


As you can see from Special:Contributions/12.2.142.7, someone using this IP address committed "SQUIDWARD" vandalism. I'm sure this wasn't someone inside your company (because this particular vandal abuses hundreds of IP addresses all over the world, often simultaneously), however the vandal made use of your company's network to commit vandalism against a third-party website (Wikipedia). Either 12.2.142.7 is an open proxy which allows random users and hackers from remote locations to surf the Internet through it, or at least one computer within your company has been hacked and compromised and turned into a "zombie" which is part of a botnet controlled by an outside hacker. You might want to bring this to the attention of your network administrators.

Regarding your e-mail, there is no difference betwen the 12.2.142.7 "user" and the 12.2.142.7 "address" from Wikipedia's point of view they are one and the same thing. Unfortunately, when an IP address is blocked, every user (even logged-in users) who use that address is blocked as well (because that's how Wikipedia's software works). Your username isn't blocked and you can still use it when logged in from home, for instance, but as long as the IP address is blocked no users (logged in or not logged in) can edit Wikipedia through it. -- Curps 06:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've unblocked the IP, hopefully no serious vandalism will come from the IP, it might get blocked again -- Tawker 05:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Looking at Special:Contributions/12.2.142.7, it appears that only one edit was made between your unblock and the time it was re-blocked, and that edit was not vandalism, but an actual edit to the page (see the edit in question). Why was the IP address blocked a second time? --Psiphiorg 23:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] listdev vs. stub

I was stub-sorting and noticed your edits to List of Statutory Instruments of the United Kingdom, 1960 and List of Statutory Instruments of the United Kingdom, 1958. You added both {{stub}} and {{listdev}}, but the two are really mutually exclusive. If it's a list, then it's not an "article" (and thus, a stub) per se. I've removed the stub tag from both, since listdev is a better tag for them. Just wanted to let you know. Have a great day and happy editing! ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 21:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

I've done a little "spring cleaning" (yes I know it's summer ;) on your userboxes; cleaned up formatting, table-ised, removed deleted userboxes, userfied userboxes, etc. I also took the languages out of the Babel box and arranged them seperately in their own table. If you don't like any of what I've done, feel free to revert it but I hope it helps. — Nathan (talk) / 04:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The CW

Hey Psiphiorg!

Thanks for catching my slip-up here. I appreciate the quick fix. :) Happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 05:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Irwin Schiff

Dear fellow editor: Thanks for cleaning up my footnote work in the above referenced article. It appears that the following verbiage is still in the article (and should be), but is not viewable unless I'm on the edit page:

At the Court of Appeals, the admission of the videotape was ruled unduly prejudicial, the conviction was overturned, and the case was remanded for a new trial. He was convicted a second time for failure to file, and that conviction was affirmed. [footnote coding here] United States v. Schiff, 647 F.2d 163 (2d Cir. 1981).

I think this is some sort of coding problem, but I'm not sure how to approach it. Can you take a look at it? Yours, Famspear 20:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Dear Psiphiorg: OK, I think I've made the correction. Thanks, Famspear 21:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for copyediting me for the second week in a row on Survivor: Cook Islands. I think my problem is that I'm keeping notes as I watch the episode and am writing it as it happens, not thinking that it's already happened. -- Gogo Dodo 04:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I'm just playing my part in the Wikipedia community.  :-) --Psiphiorg 05:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jericho

Thanks for fixing up the morse code tables...I tried, but yours looks much better. I just got sick of seeing it all in a long string of dots and dashes, sometimes being broken at the end of the line in mid character. Thanks again. WarFighter 19:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks...

...for catching the "an"->"a" error at Jericho. I forgot to change that when I edited the lead - glad you're paying attention. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 21:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note in thanks

Just wanted to thank you for your work and comments at Star Trek spin-off fiction and List of Star Trek novels. Morwen - Talk 16:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from User:Psiphiorg

Dear writter, i woult like to inform you i an cwk14724 and want to say that it was mentioned by Eric Green in jericho episode 9:02 that Robert Hawkins is a voluenteer and a deputy and in episode The Walls of Jericho. Robert accepts Jimmy's proposal to be a Deputy Sheriff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwk14724 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Excellent work

Just a note to say thanks for the excellent clean-up work on the article on Log Cabin Republicans. Great job! NYDCSP 15:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation

Heya, I saw your edit to SSM in the US and would like to invite you to join WikiProject LGBT studies - we'd be delighted to have you! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hiro

Jonathan Archer as an "in universe" tag at the top. And Buffy Summers has an "in-universe" description. Superman doesn't even have a "biography" section because the article got to big. Almost all the Heroes (TV show) character articles are headlined with "Character history," which is another way of saying "Fictional character biography" (changed during a concensus). Any instance where a fictional character has "biography", it's wrong. If you want more examples, besides the written policy link, I'll give them to you:

--EXV // + @ 06:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I see plenty of Comics examples, and I also see that the policy is part of the Comics WikiProject. I don't see why television character articles are obligated to follow procedures developed in a different project. --ΨΦorg 10:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vacation?

Your user page says you are on vacation to a date 4 months ago. I assume you're back so I just wanted to remind you to change that. GoodnightmushTalk 03:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] heroes: origins

hey, great job on creating the article for the new spinoff! You sure are speedy. Just so you know, i added infomation on the spinoff in the plot section about a hour before you did(check the history). ;) Would you mind editing the Heroes templates to include a link to the spinoff article? thanks. dposse 18:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello... looks like we overlapped on the Heroes template. I've reorganized it a bit to put related and relevant items on the top row. I've also added a link for the main series. (I know there's already one in the title, but I think it makes sense to list both as it looks odd to only have Heroes: Origins in the main part of the box.) Let me know if this works for you. --Ckatzchatspy 19:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, that looks better. Thanks! --ΨΦorg 19:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Television Series By Number of Episodes

Hi. I just came across the Article which lists TV series that have produced 150+ episodes. Are you actively involved with that article? Please let me know. Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 19:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)) User talk:JosephASpadaro

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Heroes-dallaspetrelli052307.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Heroes-dallaspetrelli052307.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Okay

many thanks for your many wiki-syntactic corrections. Saltation (talk) 00:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Better Halves

An editor has nominated Better Halves, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Better Halves and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heroes lazy references...Please Help! (smile)

Hello...i saw some fantastic clean up work that you did on the Heroes main page ref list. I was wondering if you could come back and clean the page up again. The ref section is a little messy, and I noticed in the history of the page you did some incredible work cleaning up all the lazy refs. If you have time, can you please please please come and help fix some of the refs? I think the page is ready for a serious peer review and I really think that this needs to be fixed before the review takes place. I would hope that if you cleaned it up again, it would remain that way. I am ready bad at correctly citing sources, so a lot of times i do lazy refs...so i apologize...but i could use your help, and i promise to look up WP on citing sources correctly and educate myself for the future. thanks...i would relaly appreciate it. could you let me know if you are available for the job? thanks...we really need you help!! (smile)--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 06:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
