I am accessing my account at present from a corporate network - vandal must be using another company computer? ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ (talk) 22:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

TYVM sir! ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ (talk) 03:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Doyle Brunson

I have reponsed to your request. Not only did I add a citation per request of Strongside (or whatever his name was) simple research shows that Doyle is iconic in the poker world. My edit was in good faith. This is a corporate IP the vandalism were not performed by me. (if that is why there was a quick revert) 63.76.234.250 (talk) 16:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sportsbook.com

Please explain your deletion of my contribution.Fadeintoyou (talk) 21:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

at first it seemed as if you were out to discredit them. Perhaps that was a bit of a premature action by me. Let's let others have time to see it and comment on it. If you want to make comments or questions about the article then see Talk:Sportsbook.com ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ (talk) 21:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
The contribution was primarily three inappropriate links to a non-RS, and a long laundry list. I removed it again. If the user wants to start a discussion on the talk page to properly source complaints about the company, fine, but we aren't here to promote somebody's website. 2005 (talk) 21:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Forbes is not a reputable source? Sportsbook Review is the primary independent watchdog of the on-line sports betting industry. They're not reputable? The only person shilling a website here is you. If you wish to mediate this, we can. Otherwise, stop vandalizing my edits.Fadeintoyou (talk) 21:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm moving this to Talk:Sportsbook.com. ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ (talk) 22:22, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I gave him a one-day break. If he's like most of these guys, he'll stop and be done. If he's one of the crazy ones, he'll be spamming with a million different IP address so blocking the registered account won't matter (semi-protecting the page will stop him). If he actually starts up with the registered account again, it's permanent. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:29, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
cool, thanks, time for sleep anyway. Edit warring can wear a man out :-) ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ (talk) 06:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
FYI, if you hear from him, I'd suggest reading WP:SOUP and see if that isn't familiar. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:38, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IP range blocked again

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "Again victim of someone on my corporate network vandalizing Wikipedia - unblock?"

Decline reason: "Please follow the instructions at Template:Autoblock as I am unable to identify the IP address which has been blocked and is affecting you. Stifle (talk) 14:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

oops heh heh think I would know my way around Wiki by now

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Autoblock of 167.230.38.115 lifted or expired. If this happens much more in the future, you may want to consider requesting temporary exemption from IP blocks.
