[edit] "that shouldn't happen with AOL...?"

what shouldn't happen with AOL? what are you talking about? I'm just trying to edit a template? correct a minor formatting error--205.188.116.135 18:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Sidaway silliness

I just wanted to say that I support your attempts to hold Tony to the same sort of sensible standards that all of us are held to. I regret unfortunately that there are many other admins on here who believe that Tony's style of disruption is somehow honorable or beneficial. Best of luck with it, to you. I've since mostly given up on trying to be reasonable with such people, since it is not very rewarding and it is clear that they have no understanding of the benefits of not causing needless disruption whenever something is not to their liking. --Fastfission 15:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DVD+R/W's RfA

Thank you for your support in my RfA, which ended with the result of (74/0/0). If there is anything I can help with feel free to ask. Also, if there is anything I am doing wrong, please point that out as well. I look forward to working with you in the future.

[edit] Request

Hello, Mr. RadioKirk. I have a problem. Mr. IrishGuy from the Bambi 2 article, is constantly pestering me, and labeling me as a well-known vandal. I have nicely asked him to stop, yet he continues to pester, and all I do is contribute to articles. I ask you to give him a short 48-hour blocking, then give him a little pep-talk. Thank you, and have a nice day. 65.103.86.243

[edit] Lindsay Lohan

As I am sure you saw I was rather confused. I was RC patrolling and clicked history instead of diff and saw that you had previously reverted the users edits. I check the history and without checking what the actual reference was saw that it was changed to saw not. I assumed it was vandalism and reverted until I further checked it was not. At any rate I would like to thank you for cleaning up that little mess. Thanks again and good day, SorryGuy 03:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jake Gyllenhaal

The reason the Defamer link was used was because it was the most reputable one we could find. The problem is, because the toothy tile rumours are now everywhere, it's virtually impossible to find a link that mentions him and Austin Nichols as friends but doesn't hint at their being lovers. The defamer was the best we could come up with. See the talkpage for the discussion we had on the matter. Dev920 23:25, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


Oh, it's definitely true that they are friends. There are pictures of them hanging out together from mid 2005 onwards. But the places where those photos can be freely linked to, tend to be those sites that promote the "Jake loves Austin" rumour. Which, for verifiability and edit warring reasons, we can't put in. More importantly, Jake's rep officially confirmed they are friends, but we can ONLY find that on articles about the rumours, because the rep made that statement in response to the bi speculation. So while the friendship is there, the proof of it is inextricably linked to the rumours. Hence our problem. Dev920 23:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Thankyou for your good wishes - if you look at the Jake talkpage now, you will see that stevenscollege has dug up a thing from the US weekly. Dropping a note on the talkpage as to whether this is ok or not and why would be much appreciated. :D Dev920 00:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Would appreciate some help...

Hi again RadioKirk. You seemed really helpful the other day, so I thought I'd leave you a note about another issue that I think needs some admin attention. In the process of scrolling down on your talk page just now, I noticed another note about User:Tony Sidaway... he is part of the problem that I am coming to you about now, and it looks like you know a bit about his history. Earlier today he instated a 3-day block on User:Alienus, which in all aspects seems completely unfair. If you have a few minutes, please take a look at Alienus' talk page for details, as it is all clearly spelled out there and would be redundant for me to explain here. I left a note on the admin noticeboard, but I thought I should come to you as well. Hope you can help out here, or at least give some advice. Thanks, romarin [talk ] 01:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I disagree with your assessment, but I thank you very much for taking the time to review this case. romarin [talk ] 02:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Dear RadioKirk/Archive04,

I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuiviénen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Virtual Boy games

Hi again RadioKirk, as I know you are an admin who also works with in the CVG article space, I would like you to take a look at a matter which is being disputed. What it has come down to now is the protection and removal of information of the page in the headline by an admin who has not taken part in any discussion. Admin Jkelly has taken it upon himself to protect and remove the images which where in the article to identify each game in question. Stating that they are not free, and break the fair use policy, which is a lie. They do not break the official policy set forth in the fair use article.

Users Vic Vipr and ed g2s has taken it upon themselves to police wikipedia with non-exsistent rules and policies, because they themselves see it as breaking the rules. User ed g2s has even gone so far as to start changing the look of the feel of the article stating "Wikipedia has a standard skin which gives the site a universal professional look. If we coloured each page based on the subject, we'd end up no better than a MySpace website." which is also a blatant lie.

I feel the removal of the images, and the behaviour of these users goes against wikipedia's official policies, and even go so far as to being un-civil to the other editors whom have worked heard on said article.

Please read the talkpage for List of Virtual Boy games, to get a glimps of what have been going on, or maybe you can unprotect and revert to where the images where, seeing as they break no rules, and are there to add to the article. Thank you for your time, cheers. Havok (T/C/c) 08:54, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Go watch pr0n or play with your Xbox, 'k?

Hi RadioKirk, thanks for your reminder on Civility. You are of course correct. Although consequently, I enjoyed your sarcasm about Xbox p0rn all the more. The pathos! :-D --feline1 20:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, cheers for actually taking an interest, but what's the sum-total of that? He's clearly not repented. Would you please keep an eye on him?--Crestville 20:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I realise I could have handled the situation better, but he really gets to me. He's so smug, y'know? And won't accept his mistakes. Anyway, cheers, nice to know I've someone I can come to about this. Cheers.--Crestville 20:52, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

He left a message on my talk page. It may have been an olive branch, or a personal attack. I can't tell anymore.--Crestville 23:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

It's... well... abstract... ;) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 23:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zilker Hillside Theater

I am in no way connected to running this theater, and the article is not in any way intended to advertise it. I'm new to Wikipedia and simply wanted to contribute a little bit of information. Also, since the productions are entirely free, it's not telling about anything that's for sale. Additionally, the productions that I "advertised" have already occured. If you plan to delete my article, please delete this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Amsterdam_Theatre), this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Edward_Theatre), and all other articles providing useful information about any theater as well.

[edit] Unblocked a username block

FYI - I've unblocked User:KleoBot, who you blocked for his username. He is a BOTanist not a roBOT, and let us know about it on OTRS. I've encouraged him to pick a different username, too. Best wishes for your medical issues - I hope they resolve themselves well and soon. FreplySpang 01:29, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh dear. Please accept my apologies - I misremembered the policy as having more latitude. Thank you for pointing out the section of WP:USERNAME that enumerates the unacceptable names. The user hasn't gotten back to me yet; I think he's probably given up on Wikipedia, frankly, in which case this all becomes immaterial. I'd rather not reblock immediately in case he does get back to me, but I won't wheel war if you see things differently. In any case, I'll watch his contribs to see if he starts editing. Thanks for your patience. Best, FreplySpang 14:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Glad this worked out amicably. :-) I'm proposing a related change at MediaWiki talk:Signupend that I hope will reduce the number of times this occurs in the future, if you are interested. FreplySpang 15:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I understand that, but how is deleting contents and manupulating a poll not vandalism? Second, what do I do now, since restoring the content inevitably means violating 3RR. For hours this character is deleting comments, alleging I am making personal attacks, manipulating a poll and still nothing can be done. This puzzles me.

[edit] User:Fredgreg

Hi RadioKirk, remember the other day when I alerted you to the return of Marytrott? Well, it would appear as though this person is back, under the name of Fredgreg. For one, one of the first things this user did was add to the "vandalize/customize" section on IronChris' page (though no profanity this time); also he admits on his talk page that he is the former User:Niggershvar, who was banned for his inappropriate name. On that page, I found information that I remembered seeing on User:Marytrott's page a while back. Finally, this user calls everyone "chief", which is something that Marytrott did often.

I just wanted to alert your attention to this user, in case you hadn't come across him yet. Not sure what, if anything, should be done at this point, but it's probably best for an admin to keep their eye on him. Thanks, romarin [talk ] 19:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Just in case you want to check this out, here is what User:Marytrott first wrote on his userpage, vs. what User:Niggershvar wrote on his talk page. Unless this is a copy-cat case, it is definitely the same person. Thanks again, romarin [talk ] 21:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't subst Template:WoW

I just want you to read the template below before proceeding this message:

This user is a suspected sock puppet of Willy on Wheels, and has been blocked indefinitely.
See block log. Please do not subst this template.

The last sentence says, "Please do not subst this template.," that means we mustn't use {{subst:WoW}} and must use {{WoW}}, called transclusion. Most WoW templates are transcluded to user and user talk pages, but rarely subst'ed by some editors that might've forgotten to pay attention to this read notice. You can check Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:WoW that nearly all pages contain transclusion enclosed with parentheses. Further, I encourage you not to subst a specific known-vandal sockpuppet template, such as {{NCV}} or {{Johnny the Vandal}}. In case, contents in transcluded templates added to pages can be changed to something (like category) by editors editing Template:Foo (for instance) be made through {{Foo}}. I'm giving you an explanation if you haven't perceived this matter.

There are four more protected pages all containing subst'ed Template:WoW, placed to Category:Wikipedia:Suspected sockpuppets of Willy on Wheels, which is now renamed to Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Willy on Wheels per CFD. I noticed you protected three of the pages, including a user talk page as well. I'm asking you to un-subst the template to transclusion on each page that'll merely be categorised under the renamed category, then check the old category that is quite empty and delete it. In the future, don't subst this WoW template, instead use {{WoW}} to tag a user page. Hope that's good enough. -- ADNghiem501 09:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Worrying statement on ANI

Your statement on ANI is rather worrying. Using the {{vandal}} template is merely one way to get a bunch of useful links (including the block log, page moves log, etc.). Although it was recently moved to {{userlinks}}, many users haven't gotten accustomed to it yet, so the intent of using that template is still primarily to create the requisite links rathen than call someone a vandal. --Cyde↔Weys 19:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neo-Nazism Edit War

Regarding the article Neo-Nazism, specifically the part about Croatia.... I'm involved in an edit war with an IP address. I reverted some of his edits, as what i saw on the talk page convinced me that the article wasn't NPOV. I've read into the matter somewhat, and I'm rather convinced it isn't. I removed the offending paragraphs, but the IP address added them back. I left notes on his talk page, but He doesn't seem to reply. he mentions on my talk page the Concensus and Community are meaningless, and when I tried to meet him half way, by applying an 'unbalanced' tag but leaving the paragraphs in, he removes it. Any suggestions? I think we'd both appreciate your input! HawkerTyphoon 20:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou muchly. The article does need re-writing, but I'm not sure if i'm qualified enough (I'm British) to do it... Croatia was never my strongpoint. HawkerTyphoon 20:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aix Group article deleted

Hi,

I recently published an article entitled "Aix Group" and you deleted it because it was copyright infringement of www.aixgroup.org. I was asked by one of the coordinators of the Aix Group to create the article. Here is an email she sent to Wikipedia permissions that went unanswered:

To: Wikipedia Permissions

Hello,

I am writing to you under my capacity as the Aix Group's coordinator.

The Aix Group is a unique Working Group of Palestinian, Israeli and International economists that was formed in 2002 under the auspices of the Université Paul Cézanne-Aix-Marseille III in France, and in coordination with the Peres Center for Peace in Israel.

Two weeks ago, the Group launched its new website and is trying since then to promote the Aix Group's activity and work.

According to user: Tom Sansani, we tried to add an article about the Aix Group on wikipedia.org., however it was shortly deleted thereafter by a user named: "radiokirk" (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Aix_Group) citing copyright infringement from the website www.aixgroup.org.

As one of the coordinators of the Aix Group, I have granted permission to user "Tom Sansani" to use all material from www.aixgroup.org in the Aix Group Wikipedia article.

Since the article took a good amount of time to put together, I would appreciate if may please upload the deleted article and take all measures to prevent its deletion in the future.

For further information please don't hesitate to contact me via email, or call me at: +972-3-5680630.

Thanks in advance,

Racheli Batish – Levkovich

[edit] 65.222.216.15

User talk:65.222.216.15 and User talk:64.142.89.105 (both suspected to be the same person) have been changing band articles to incorrect grammar. For example, user would change "The All-American Rejects is" to "The All-American Rejects are". His rationale is that all bands name ending in "s" are treated plural. I disagree because these are band names—they are proper nouns and treated collectively. User has been doing this for a while and will not stop changing them from is to are and were to was. Please reply on your talk page if there will be a response. When people try to change back to the correct version, he would revert and call whoever corrected it a vandal. 12.40.31.149 20:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

If one were to be pedantic (and, I usually am [grin]), any collective group referred to by a single noun or proper noun is a singular entity. As an example, The Eagles is a band, its members are Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 20:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Well those 2 users have engaged in edit wars for months and will not stop reinserting incorrect grammar. See Talk:Guns_N'_Roses#.22Guns_N.27_Roses_is.22_vs._.22Guns_N.27_Roses_are.22 and Talk:Angels_and_Airwaves/Are_vs_Is. I contacted you because you are an admin and I saw on the talk page that you have dealth with these 2 IPs before.

So what's it feel like having an article you contributed to heavily be featured and on the main page? As the main page article always get its daily dig of vandalism, does it annoy you? Just wondering, must feel like a real compliment though!--Andeh 19:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In regards to my IP

Please see User talk:124.184.176.56 -- Can you please not block that IP, it may belong to Marytrott (although I doubt it), but it also belongs to me (not currently, but on my home computer). I did make one edit to IronChris's userpage, which I now regret due to the problems it seems to be causing, however, if you look Here, you'll see that he wrote "If you want to modify/customise/vandalise my user page, please feel free to do so by clicking here" & "This space is for you! Feel free to modify the space below this line. New additions at the end please. No profanity, and please, try to show some imagination!". So, what I did should really be classed as vandalism. WinHunter agreeded with me, which can be seen here.

Although removed now, IronChris did have a space for others to edit. My edit, which can be seen here (the part in red and the sentence, "Quick, get some food into him stat", below it) was not rude, profane, or a of personal attacking manner, which Marytrott seemed to do.

I believe that, that IP does not belog to Marytrott, I believe that you saw what you thought was vandalism, and due to the recent vanalism made by Marytrott, you thought that it was him/her making that edit.

So, I request that you please don't block that IP, and remove that sock puppet suspicion at the top, thanks. I am aware that I can create an account to still post if the IP is blocked, but I still don't want it to be blocked. --58.178.80.57 17:36, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be allowed to stay. But it is your call. Pete Peters 18:14, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lindsay Lohan

Hi Kirk - your edits to date formats on the page, I'm wondering if they should stay as December 1, 2004 format rather than the December 1, 2004, as the latter format breaks the conversion of date into user prefs format. So for me, in my locale, the first date appears as 2004-12-01 while the latter appears as December 1, 2004. My prefs dicate that I always want dates in yyyy-mm-dd format..... --Oscarthecat 20:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your sig

Forgive the oath, but, holy shit! Are you aware your sig requires 296 characters to create (not including the date)? I would be surprised if I was the first to mention this (in fact, on some pages, such as administrators' noticeboards, it'll be refactored for page length), and I do have a way to lop off a few characters as a start:

<span style="border:1px solid #808;padding:1px;">[[User:(aeropagitica)|<font style="color:#fff;background:#808;">'''(aeropagitica)'''</font>]][[User talk:(aeropagitica)|<font style="color:#808;background:#fff;">'''(talk)'''</font>]]</span>

has 241 characters (which is still huge, BTW) and produces (aeropagitica)(talk)

See WP:SIG#Important considerations for more detail and, if I can be of further help, let me know. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 17:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello and no need to swear, old chap! You are the first person to mention this to me but I am well aware of the length of my sig. If you look at [[5]] further up this Talk page, I made a comment to Netsnipe to the effect that I was experimenting with reducing its length. Funnily enough, I had come across your pages and was looking at some of the solutions that you had offered with changes to my monobook.js page! Your edit above is close to a version that I have been playing with. Thanks for taking the time over this, I do appreciate it.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  21:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

LOL sorry ;) Anyway, you should know that different users have differing ideas of what constitutes "unnecessary exposition" and, at that length, you will find it changed on some pages, as I've noted. Thought you'd appreciate the heads-up, and happy editing! :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 21:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Changed down to 227 characters now, with your help! Best wishes and I hope that we meet again in another nice collaboration soon :-)  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  22:20, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Foul Language

I wholeheartedly and vehemently disagree with your position about Foul Language (Even in the talk pages). There has been usage of foul language in the past as I foresaw it, and judging from past use of foul language, I see it more of a problem as opposed to an occasional "clean" NPOV fix. Generally people use foul language in everyday lives, but as I see it, during a flame and/or a personal attack, people direct foul language upon others, and I see foul language to be more of a problem that Wikipedia needs to address. Now people may flame and flame other people from time to time, but at least they shouldn't be using foul language, or if they tend to bring up POV issues in an article, it should be done but without foul language. Now I could debate with a Wikipedia Admin and defend my belief of "no-foul-language" talks/edits, but at least the foul language needs to be rectified because currently, people can type down an edit, discuss about "things" in NPOV pages, but Wikipedia from my point of view shouldn't allow any foul language under any circumstances, as it should be of Encyclopedic quality. Talk Pages too, as the tone of the messages will affect other users as well. Now eventually, I had beefs with past Wikipedia Admins (Madchester since I admittedly had an edit war regarding about Rebecca Jarvis's application result in The Apprentice 4), but the foul language issue needs to be fixed, though the website isn't censored. Civility is why I currently had a beef with Kiand regarding about use of foul language, and I really bite too hard when it comes to "things" that has foul language. Sometimes discussions have to be either moderated, or a talk topic has to be purged due to bad words, but you guys supporting foul language the rules have to be changed a bit in order to forbid use of bad words. Now there are time I might feel like using an occasional bad word, but I feel that using bad words are a sign of flaming and/or trolling too hard.

I feel that Foul Language Policies needs to be changed a bit. No Censorship is fine (Don't get me wrong), but I feel for the least the bad words need to be rectified, and I feel that there will be times when the No Censorship policy might not be used in good faith. The last thing I want to do is lose my cool and have an ongoing beef with guys like you, so at least have the foul language policy fixed. — Mark Kim (Reply/Start Talk) 21:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I detest Kiand's stance regarding about this matter. I don't want to debate about this forever, as the reason why I had to delete a talk clause on the Sennheiser talk page is because literally, No Censorship should only be done in good faith, and I felt that the person who cussed abused this fact. I believe that No Censorship does NOT mean that people can cuss, though.

Anyway, if you don't believe why I feel that who posted the latest comment at the Sennheiser Talk Page deserved to be either edited and/or deleted, please read the latest comment. — Mark Kim (Reply/Start Talk) 21:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Honestly (Warning, Strong Language Examples)

Honestly, words like "fuck", "shit", "ass", "asshole", should not be used (excuse me, but I'm using examples here) because 99% of the time, words like what I've mentioned are used during personal attacks, flame wars, and uncivilized edits. 99% of the time I'm willing to let "something uncensored" slip because it was done in good faith, and in an encyclopedic manner, but using the words like I've mentioned tends to be abusive and a little bit over the roof. If you still don't believe why I think the Sennheiser Talk latest comment deserved to be "moderated" or "marked as deleted" or in Wikipedia Lingo, EDITED, now's the time to read that talk page. — Mark Kim (Reply/Start Talk) 22:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

It was actually the subject line that needed to be edited a bit. Correction. — Mark Kim (Reply/Start Talk) 22:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Kiand

I felt that Kiand warning me about Wikipedia's No Censorship Policy was extremely uncalled for. I am extremely insulted about the fact that he left a notice to the Adminship about me. Should Kiand not have talked to me about this, then I would not have posted this message in your talk page.

Furthermore, I am not gonna forgive Kiand under any circumstances. Users should have the right to remove and/or nuke comments at their talk pages at anytime, but Kiand alerting admins about me removing his comment from my page was way over the line. — The Evil in Everyone (U * T/R * CTD) 23:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Would you mind checking the history on this file. I've tried getting the page protected, I've tried getting the IP banned, but no one wants to do anything about it.

Re this edit, I thought the removal of an AfD tag during an ongoing discussion was an issue of conduct, not content. (It's not a part of Wikipedia I delve into very frequently, so I may be mistaken about community practice here. Nothing new about that!) WP:DRV doesn't seem to address this type of complaint, either, since the article in question hasn't been deleted yet — it just seems to be going that way very rapidly.

[edit] Punctuation and quotes

Well, I'm not going to get into an edit war as to whether the semicolon should come before the double quotes or after. ;) But is it really an English usage? I'm American, and in terms of whether punctuation should or shouldn't always go inside quotation marks I've almost always heard "yes, it should." I've heard a few people say that it's okay if punctuation is outside of quotation marks (and certainly I've seen enough people do it -- in the state in which most people's grasp of proper mechanics is in today, though, I'm not going to take that as proof of correctness), but in particular I recall my secondary school English teachers drilling "punctuation inside quotes" into our heads.

I do realize that this is niggling over an eensy point. I'm just a grammar-obsessed English major, and genuinely curious. Feel free to ignore me if I'm weirding you out by posting a full paragraph about a minor rule of punctuation. ;)

Hbackman 06:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


...well, after taking a peek at your user page, maybe you won't think I'm weird for being obsessed with grammar. (Maybe I should have guessed that given that you left a longish, thoughtful edit summary for reverting a punctuation edit?) Hbackman 06:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pepperstool v. crestville

[edit] Re: Pepperstool

Hi,

A user called Crestville has made a complaint against me, see:

"Being subject to a fair bit of personal attacks from this user, who has also vandelised a number of pages. Not so much offensinve as annoying, gets under your feet y'know? Makes dopey assumptions, pesters a bit, generally keeps me from getting my work done. Strikes me he's only here to stir trouble, make himself feel big etc. Textbook sadact vandal. Could you take a look for me? Ta very much.--Crestville 22:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)"

I would very much like to defend myself in this matter but avoid having to go through the "school playground tactics" that this user is employing. I agree this is all very petty and Crestville's actions are equally so. In his last message to me he said he would report me "for the sake of spite" (sic) before stating that I am being petty. In return I would like to refer you to comments he has made to me antagonising the situation further:

"patronising, boring opinion" "waste time writing a petty, ill-informed, defensive, whiney reply" "you are a vandal and a time waster" "patronising" (again)

All of which I find incredible offensive and agressive. I will not tolerate being refered to as such hence my response. I would therefore appreciate that Crestville also be sent a reminder about civility. Perhaps you could mention that the use of expletives in his messages are also offensive and further his agression towards other users. I am note that Crestville feels that after making complaints about me he is then unable to leave the situation but instead exasperates it by continuing the disagreement, see "By the way, just for the sake of completeness...." after he has made his point about letting things lie.

I appreciate that you consider my last response to him as being 'well beyond the boundaries of civility' but he is not innocent in this dispute and as I have said already, he is fanning the flames with his agressive and defensive replies. If you want to contact me about this please feel free.

Thanks.

Please vkeep in mind the fact that he has primerially displayed himself as a vandal, adding his own "album reviews" to articles.--Crestville 11:28, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Crestville

Further to my original message to you earlier today Crestville has continued in his attempt to provoke me into a disagreement. He has even admitted that he has made a dismissive remark towards me which I find offensive and also provocative.

Contrary to his remarks I have not "primarily displayed" myself as a vandal. I have contributed significantly to various pages both under my user name and anonymously. I did add a rather one sided review to 'Don't Believe The Truth' and feel that this was entirely fair as the detail currently displayed on this page is also biased, inaccurate and sycophantic in tone. It does not contain varified fact or avoid personal opinion which, according to Crestville, is the reason why my entry was deleted and started this whole dispute. If Crestville continues to provoke me further I will report him again and will continue to do so until he ceases. "Pepperstool 15:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)"

Edits such as this and this clearly display vandalism. This one couples vandalism with a personal attack. Perhaps now you can see why I am making an effort to be dismissive of this user, and ignore him. I apologise for embroiling you in this.--Crestville 16:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to both

Okay, two things: It appears Pepperstool needs to read up on what is original research and why it is not allowed on an encyclopedia. It also appears Crestville neads to read the page on what is and what is not vandalism (good-faith edits that do not belong in an encyclopedia are not vandalism until they continue to be made after it has been made clear by consensus or administrative action that the data does not survive scrutiny. It appears that the solution for you two is to 1) learn to work together or 2) stay away from each other's work. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 17:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Do you not feel that after I had made it clear that he is a vandal and he continued (per a warning by User:Madchester on the Hal (album) page) for vandalism, that he is worthy of blocking? Out of interest, has he ever contributed anything of worth to wikipedia? He seems rather filpent and sarcastic on my talk page. I also suspect he may be acting as a sock puppett as[6] or something rather similar. See the Noel Gallagher talk page. Ta rather very a bit much--Crestville 22:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

My Sweet Lord, are you honestly defending him? Look what he's done. Seriously, click on each of the links I've given you. At the end of the day, you shouldn't be coming back to me and saying "maybe we should be nice to him because..." You should go back yo him and say "people are annoyed at you becuase...". He has quite clearly acted as a vandal, intentionally or not, and you should be doing something about that! Ta.--Crestville 22:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry, look here [7] - same ip adress.cHas he contributed anything or worth? I've a feeling he's only here to stirr things up/ It seems glaring obvious to me-. Also both repetedly fail to sign thier comments.-Crestville 22:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Crestville

Dear RadioKirk,

I hope that Crestville's continued barrage of unfair comments made here on your page is evidence enough of his vindictive and churlish attitude. I have already agreed not to edit anything on Crestville's pages and he still continues to insult me and attempt to have me barred. I will not tolerate this pathetic juvenile behaviour. I have added articles of value to Wikipedia but Crestville is so determined in his battle to have me barred that he has not looked at anything apart from an entry that involves his page.

If Crestville continues in this cowardly confrontation or if I discover any further duplicitous tactics on his part then I shall persue this matter with a more senior authority. I hope, therefore, that this settles the matter. I shall add this comment to Crestvilles discussion board in anticipation of concluding the issue.

Kindest regards. "Pepperstool 08:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC)"

Wokka wokka!--Crestville 20:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I don't get this

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by RadioKirk for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Rappy30V2". The reason given for Rappy30V2's block is: "vandal from 216.164.203.90". Your IP address is 64.xxx.xxx.xx. Why on earth did you block me dude?Ferick 18:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nookdog

Hi RadioKirk. When you have a spare moment, could you look at User talk:Nookdog? I've indef blocked this account after the user left a rather virulent message promising unceasing vandalism. The user is now claiming that his/her password was breached and that you can vouch for their tale. I'm reluctant to do anything further until talking with you. If you feel this latest account is trustworthy I'll go ahead and remove the autoblock, though my preference is to let is expire. I don't trust anything that Nookdog is claiming right now. Many thanks, Gwernol 19:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I'm in a similar situation. I'm an admin over at Wikinews and n:User:MyName (who is identical to Nookdog by own admission) asked me to contact you after going on a vandalism spree saying pretty much the same thing as above. From your response to Gwernol it's fairly obvious that you're not quite buying his explanation but I would still appreciate a response. Thanks, --Deprifry 21:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
