Thank you

Thank you for your recent swift action to block an IP user. Unfortunately another IP user from the same ISP has appeared who has just reverted back the edits again. Fnagaton 15:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the block. I do not think this is the last we have heard from 217.87.* . :( Fnagaton 16:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Rudget, please explain why Fnagaton is allowed to revert additions by other users without any consequences whereas other users have no such permission. --217.237.148.23 (talk) 16:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I'll answer this if I may Rudget? The IP user has been blocked from editing Wikipedia for "attempting to harass other users" (according to the block report). Since IP users with very similar IPs are reverting [1] [2] [3] those exact same edits to replace some of the harassment material and you are from the same ISP (Deutsche Telekom AG) it is safe to assume you are evading the block by changing IPs. So the edits are being reverted because of evading a block. Fnagaton 16:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I find it interesting that some users think they may speak for admins. Further I'd like to see some evidence for harassment. Especially "attempt" looks interesting. How do you define "attempted harassment" exactly? In how far is Fnagaton not harassing me? --217.237.148.23 (talk) 17:32, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't speak for the admin, I am telling you what it that means in terms of policy. You are blocked from editing, so do not do it. If you continue to edit then all you are doing is making it harder for yourself. Fnagaton 17:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I was addressing Rudget. Why do you feel the need to interfere? What exactly is "it" that I am making harder? Are you threatening me? --217.237.148.23 (talk) 17:44, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I respond because you misrepresent my actions and you have attacked me in the past. The "it" is a well known English expression and in this context it is the block that you are subject to. Fnagaton 18:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I did not none of what you accuse me of. You seem to misinterpret whatever I write as an attack against you. The one who misrepresents other's "actions" is no other than yourself by selectively picking out single edits which seemingly support your view. If we looked at all of your "contributions", especially your constant reverts with misleading commit comments, we would get a whole different picture. --217.237.148.24 (talk) 18:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
The actions taken against your vandalism paint the opposite picture of what you are claiming. You are at fault and you need to change. Do not use talk pages to misrepresent editors including myself. Fnagaton 19:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry you had to be on the receiving end of this user's obvious vandalism to your talk page Rudget. The same user has been vandalising [4] and on my talk page. The edit history is a mess trying to play whack-a-mole with this kind of disruption. Fnagaton 19:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Thin Ice

Interesting!!! Would not you say?
Coming here and threating me! I know you are an admin, and we have met before, but it appears that you can not tell who am I. Very well, but I just wanna say that there is no policy I am aware of that will prevent new users from voting (Support or Oppose), and I would have found it a bit unlikely to recieve this message if I voted Support.
I would urge you to reconsider your words, you are also advised to strike out the word "disruption" above.
It is a wonder that one simple comment like that can break so many policies, for example WP:BITE, WP:AGF, and most importantly one might resort to WP:DR or WP:RFC/U.
You, sir, are walking on thin ice, and might lose your admin tools if you continue this pattern of activity.
Cheers

You perhaps did not mean anything nasty, but "You will be blocked if you continue your disruption, if you continue to add baseless opposes to current RFAs" is hard to understand any other way, do not you say?
Assume good faith, even, when dealing with these kinds of cases. An admin, or any editor for that matter, will be right 90% of the time when they encounter such situations by simply assuming bad faith, which you did above. However, you will be scaring away newbies or anger experienced users in the remaining 10%. WP will be the only loser in this type of situation, and this runs contradictory to your mission as one of the 1500 sysop.
Dynamic IP's pose a problem indeed, a fact that seems to have been ignored by all but GlassCobra.
As for my "baseless" opposes, they are perfectly sourced and reasoned. Take for example: nousernameslef, I can hardly think of anyone with only 1000 main edits to be an, and I quote" acceptable candidate". How about Kim Dent-Brown, he has virtually no experience outside vandal fighting. Take Mind meal, who has a very miserable edit summary usage to what one might expect from an admin.
My !votes were based on something real. Points I would like an admin to have on WP, and I granted that right.
How can you say that these opposes are similar????
Finally, WP is already losing many of its fine editors (see WP:MW), and I would hate to see you scaring away the rest ( and the new ones)
Regards

WP:LOTD

Congratulations on your recent WP:FL promotion. You may be interested in participating the the selection of lists of the day and a list of the month for March or nominating lists for April.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 18:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Good to have you back!

I go for a few days and look what happens! Welcom back Rudget, sorry it's a bit late. Btw, 've sort've gone a little inactive recently, and I duno if I'll be editing much--Phoenix-wiki 10:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Armour thyroid

Rudget, as a fellow Mancunian, I would appreciate your views on this article: Armour thyroid. I have nominated it for speedy deletion a couple of times because it looks like a veiled promotion of a product of Forest Pharmaceuticals (http://www.armourthyroid.com). The speedy tag was deleted once by the original editor and the second time by an anonymous editor, but I am still of the view that it is promotional. I also reverted on the same basis an edit that User:Pacman187 made to Levothyroxine. Am I way off base here? Thanks. --ukexpat (talk) 20:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply on my talk page -- no problem with the delay. If you have moment I would appreciate you taking a look at the Armour thyroid article. It is a lot better than it was, but I still think that it is too promotional. I also think it's a little deceptive as nowhere does it mention who actually manufactures the drug. BTW I am not an expert in medical/drug matters so I cannot comment on the substance of the article. Thanks.--ukexpat (talk) 14:54, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the speedy response and action - much appreciated.--ukexpat (talk) 15:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Times.

You might want to add AM/PM here, to prevent confusion. · AndonicO Hail! 15:14, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

It's a 24 hour clock. Rudget. 15:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Ah... Right. :P · AndonicO Hail! 16:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

hello

It seem you've come back after a short retirement. Goo to see you back. New York Dreams (talk) 03:42, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Derollback

I have to quit this place, it takes too much time. If you could just remove that rollback again? Greswik (talk) 16:31, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA.

Same happened in my RFA, so no worries. :) · AndonicO Hail! 16:34, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I am SOOOO offended!!!!

Just kidding. Not at all offended. I just thought that would be an interesting subheader in your archives:) for anyone digging around for some dirt on you. I'm so bad... Of course I don't mind being labelled as helpful. What a nice compliment. Actually, I've watchlisted the page as I can never figure out what time it is anywhere else outside my little frigid world. Great idea - Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer

user:MOD-Broken

Crap I've just blocked him, we crossed each other. My opinion was that the "MOD" part of the username was for Moderator. What do you think? -- lucasbfr talk 12:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

Thank you for the invitation - I had been wondering recently whether or not the mop would help me contribute more effectively to the project, and had concluded that it might, so if you're inclined to nominate me then I'd happily, but humbly, accept.GBT/C 14:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

OK - shout when you want me to start sharpening my pencil. It is multiple choice, isn't it? GBT/C 14:19, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Blimey - I'm blushing. I'll drop you a note when I've finished my answers (may not be till later tonight), then you can transclude at will. Thanks again. GBT/C 14:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Done - transclude away, and let's see how we go! GBT/C 17:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, at 3/0/0, even discounting the one I get from you for free, at least I'm not going to be out for a duck! GBT/C 18:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

WP:UAA edit

Good morning! This edit you made to WP:UAA recently broke the bots that service that page. They automatically add and remove the backlog indication, as well as automatically removing blocked users, and entirely removing the tag (plus removing a space in the middle of their parameter string) caused them to be unable to remove entries from the page. I just wanted to let you know for the future, you don't need to worry about that - if you think the threshold for removing the backlog tag needs to change, discuss it at WT:UAA and it can be changed in the bot parameter string easily enough. Thanks! —Krellis (Talk) 14:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
