[edit] commons:User:Syrthiss

I assert that I am the same person as User:Syrthiss on commons. Syrthiss 13:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Block

Here, it looks like you made the block anon only- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:NYkid0709 I don't think you meant to do that. JoshuaZ 20:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

? I thought that anon only did nothing when blocking a user account, only when you block IPs. *goes to read up on WPBLOCK*. Syrthiss 02:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Yep, per WP:BLOCK

Block anonymous users only prevents anonymous users from the target IP address from editing, but allows registered users to edit. Prevent account creation prevents new accounts from being registered from the target IP address. These options have no effect on username blocks.

Unless it doesn't actually work that way in practice? Syrthiss 02:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Nope, you appear to be correct. I didn't know the blocking tool was that smart. I should pay more attention. JoshuaZ 03:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

*whew* I mean, I block a lot of vandal accounts... Its kind of my thing. I would have banged my head on my desk for a few hours if I had been doing it wrong ever since those changes went in. ;) Syrthiss 12:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can you check to see if this user has personally attacked me?

User:Danielpi has been blocked for a week in the past by the arbitrators for personally attacking me. Last night I think he personally attacked me again by stating "Of course, I wouldn't want to infringe upon wiki's tradition of love, charity, and respect; so, I feel I should clarify my position insofar as I absolutely DO NOT regard Dionyseus to be 1) a blight on wikipedia, 2) a mental degenerate, 3) incapable of lucid reasoning, or 4) incapable of language use. He is certainly none of those things." Today he repeated the attack. Dionyseus 02:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I would agree that there is no other way to interpret that. It appears per his userpage that Danielpi has quit wikipedia sometime between you leaving this message and now. If I may ask, why did you ask me in particular to look into this? I'm just curious. :) Syrthiss 15:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into it. I chose you at random from a list of administrators. Dionyseus 21:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my page. --Nlu (talk) 19:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Anytime. ;) Syrthiss 19:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SWG?

So you played Star Wars Galaxies? Which server were you on? :) Siyavash 18:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Persistent long-term IP vandal 204.38.132.248

You've blocked this IP before: 204.38.132.248

Based on samples, this IP makes info smudges (changes names and numbers, adds typos), at infrequent intervals. Most recent smudge is Annie Oakley (diff). Milo 22:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just when you thought you were out ...

they pull you right back in. A CfD closure that you did a year ago has become a central issue in this deletion review. You may wish to comment at the deletion review. Please bear in mind that "No good deed goes unpunished." : ) -- Jreferee 16:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 4-time vandal: 207.241.242.150

You warned this person of blocking after his/her 3rd act of vandalism. Here's a 4th. Michael Patrick 14:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another vandal: 86.137.41.229

This person has made four inappropriate edits to two articles. Michael Patrick 01:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Alternate history games

Hi dude! Could you please recategorize all video games (I think it's pretty much all articles in this category) under Category:Alternate history games to Category:Alternate history video games? Thanks a lot --MrStalker 20:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. --MrStalker 14:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signature-Fixing

Syrthiss,

People keep asking me to 'fix my signature' but I don't know why its broken. If you have any helpful suggestions, a step-by-step method to 'fix' it, please advise.→ R Young {^yakł_talk} 23:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phlox

You blocked User:Phlox on January 3, 2007 indefinitely. This user is asking for unblock asking if the block have been long enough and this user wants to learn to make constructive edits. You can reply a message on User:Phlox's talk page. Amos Han ^Talk 23:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Did you review my block?? i have no idea? all i know is that i want to be able to make contributions and be noted for them, instead of just doing it when im not logged in. Thats right, i made CONTRIBUTIONS! sure did, yep, thats right, no sensless vandalism, oh be nice and unblock me, cummon, i'll give you a cookie Phlox

No vandalism at all. --Deskana (fry that thing!) 01:09, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Block

I would suggest you block 206.211.69.253 indefinitely. It is a school of 1400 teenagers, of which I am one, and I think you will get more vandalism after the next block expires. User:Jonwilliamsl(talk|contribs) 13:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Restore

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Alex Prior. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs).

DRV has been closed. The Alex Prior I whacked was someone from Brisbane, not the one mentioned in the sources. Cheers. Syrthiss 18:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I have nominated Category:English students' unions (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 05:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Hiyas SWATJester. Stopped by the discussion, but I'm really undecided on the matter so I'll have to decline to comment. :/ Syrthiss 15:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little context in Category:Beer and breweries in Europe

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Beer and breweries in Europe, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Beer and breweries in Europe is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Beer and breweries in Europe, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Maya Angelou

I do not recall editing that page. Possibly it was another user of this IP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.159.73 (talk) 00:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DC Meetup on May 17th

[edit] Bot activity

I was going over the list of bots and noticed that Syrcatbot (talk · contribs) has not edited in a very long time. Is this bot still active and if not, would you object to it being de-flagged? Please post your comments to Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Dead_bots since this is a rather widely-posted message. MBisanz ^talk 02:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
