[edit] A7X 900

Hey am new here and did not know about the vandalism rule. I will not do it again so please forgive me...

Hi Bucketsofg, A7X 900 was at it again. I see your entry on his talk page and I was thinking it might be useful if his offending edits are noted in the messages we leave him for future reference. Your thoughts? Xiner 00:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tiki

Some dude called Hooser is repeatedly vandalising Tiki (mythology). Can you do anything? Kahuroa 05:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 24.128.201.140

Please ban 24.128.201.140. He has vandalized dice and from his talk page I have seen that you have already given him a 'final warning' Thanks

[edit] Thank you

[edit] Ezra Levant Entry

Things appear to be heating up at the Ezra Levant entry. Somebody from a Calgary, Alberta IP keeps wanting to remove the reference to "stock-a-holic" as well as "The Snack Pack" despite the well documented history of both of these events, moniquers or nicknames by media for Mr.Levants... I would say "antics" over the years, but that would not be NPOV. How bout his "activities" over the years? (is that better?) Just something you may want to keep an eye on Buckets. Thanks. Somena 16:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

The revert has been done again, and accusation of vandalism has occured because I thought the interview where Levant declared himself to be a "stock-a-holic" took place on Canada AM. It was on a National TV interview in the morning, I remember, because I actually saw the interview. I have added cites to both the "snackpack" thing, the "stock-a-holic" phrase, as well as the contreversy surrounding Matthew Johnston's role. Johnston was claimed to be a co-founder of the Western Standard according to an old archived page of the Western Standard's own website, screen captured by Grandinite -- which I have linked to... but now is listed as an advertising executive. These are honest mistakes on my part. I have provided cites for everything I have written about Levant. And I have tried to as much as possible to make it as NPOV as possible. The Anon IP from Calgary has gone away, and now a new user (I think it's a new user, named Torporeal, is claiming I am a vandal. Just wanted to give you a rundown on what's happening. Somena 19:36, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Candidate's Song

[edit] RfA thanks!

Thanks for voting! Hello Bucketsofg, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care.

[edit] German-English translation

Thanks for helping to translate an article listed at Wikipedia:German-English translation requests - it's greatly appreciated, and it would be lovely if you come back and do some more translating. If you do, please move the article listing to the Recently completed translations – proofreading section to make sure it's proofread. Thanks! Saint|swithin 07:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverts

It is not nice to revert blindly. It could be even be considered vandalism. I am referring to your disruptive edits about Roman consuls.

[edit] Much thanks for your support on my RfA!

		Thanks for contributing to my successful RfA!
		To the people who have supported my request: I appreciate the show of confidence in me and I hope I live up to your expectations! To the people who opposed the request: I'm certainly not ignoring the constructive criticism and advice you've offered. I thank you as well! ♥! ~Kylu (u|t) 07:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

You spoke some kind words. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 07:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bourque article

The PDF article is not from the National Post site, and, since the National Post claims copyright and puts its material behind a pay for view wall, Wikipedia has no business linking to what is, essentially, a pirated copy.64.26.148.240 14:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

No objection here. I figured it was a content dispute, though, which is why I didn't like the semi-prot idea. Do you think maybe full protection would be better? Make sure you leave it protected as meta:the wrong version.  :) Mangojuice^talk

I do not see the point of semi-protection. Once it is semi-protected the anon user spings to life with as acoount that has a quite the interesting history. Pete Peters 00:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I take it you are famniliar with (a) the standard National Post contract (which I've signed) and (b) Canadian copyright law. I am amazed at the risks the Wikipedia Foundation takes letting people like you make these kinds of decisions.64.26.147.136 19:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

[edit] AE's IP

In AE's statement he claims to have a Sympatico(Bell Canada) account, but he made that claim using a Magma IP[1]Geedubber 18:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you forgot to inlcude a link to the latest checkuser request in your statement. Geedubber 03:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your e-mail

I think the answer to your question is "Scroll down." If not, I'm not an admin so I can't see it; you'll have to copy the deleted text into one of my sandboxes, and I'll re-archive it. (Cases from before June are also in the history of the main RFCU page, although it may take some digging to find what you want. I can copy the case from the history if you send me a diff.)

[edit] Thanks from Yanksox

Hey, Bucketsofg, thanks for supporting my RfA, with a tally of 104/4/7... I am now an admin!!! I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Yanksox 07:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Just a note for your attention, don't you find the editing pattern familiar by this contributor ?

Bog2 [2]Edits [ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Bog2] IP 70.68.127.172 [3]

May I draw your attention to the fact that this blogger [4]is currently in the Vancouver area, Shaw serves the AB and BC area does it not ?

Just thought you may wish to know about that.

Many thanks for your impressive contribution to the Kinsella RfA. It must have taken you hours to compile the information. Let's hope it makes a difference. HistoryBA 18:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

Dear Bucketsofg: I wanted to let you know that I changed your poem on Michael Snow's user talk page, by adding one word, in case you cared enough to revert. That's all.

Sincerely

[edit] User:Taeguk Warrior

What additional warnings would you suggest I leave? He seems to have been warned and blocked for vandalism and personal attacks often and recently... your comment said "premature, has not been warned at all"... LactoseTI 04:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:hooveruj

Please unblock user hooveruj as he is a unique user and was not engaged in sockpuppetry. He is the sole owner and administrator of the uselessjunk network and has vital information on justifying WP:WEB inclusion into wikipedia. The user h00ver was some anonymous imposter. Check the IP addresses. hooveruj edited the entry to improve factual clarity of the entry as he said in the edit "(site owner cleaning up inaccurate information published)". If anyone would like verification that hooveruj is the actual site owner, please feel free to contact him at his whois info with Netsol: sales@swelldeal.com. Please unblock this erroneously blocked user and thank you for your attention to this.Live Dog 05:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• • • ==Response== Thanks. I'm not affiliated with the site other than being a contributing community member. The site generates enough traffic on it's own without needing wikipedia as an advertiser. There is a history that has developed there that I believe is worthy of encyclopedic cataloging and that is the reason I began the entry. In retrospect, I shouldn't have openly asked for people to edit it for correctness, but should have just made hoover do it and kept it hushed from the membership, at least initially.- Live dog

[edit] Ohmy-omega

He removed warnings from his talk page only 1 hour ago. He is also stalking. Please revisit your decision to remove it from the list. I think you may have gone to the wrong page. here is his talk page.--Tbeatty 23:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much for voting, Bucketsofg! Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future! —Mets501 (talk) 03:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lloyd Pye

Hi - thanks for putting semi-protection on the much-vandalised Lloyd Pye article! Unfortunately it's been subsequently removed by the registered user:luluamelu, who I suspected of being the cause of the sockpuppet vandalism - and again vandalised. What's your advice? Cheers --JonAyling 17:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Can we remove those 7 IP adresses and the discussion from WP:AIV now? Are they safely reported somewhere else? —Mets501 (talk) 22:30, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

I want to say thank you for your help on the Robert Craig-Morgan page. As a wikignome I prefer to avoid edit wars and if the anonymous user who is editing that page comes up with verifiable information I will be happy to see it changed. Also, since this is my first real experience of an edit conflict, if I have handled anything in an improper manner please let me know so that I can learn for future reference. Your wikiversion of the 'Modern Major General' song is a real treat! Thanks again.MarnetteD | Talk 13:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Well the user has signed up to get around the semi-protect. The user still does not provide any sources. I propose a compromise wherein we list the shows that IMDb agrees with, but not the ones that the user claims are for another R C-M or the ones the user claims to be in that aren't verifiable. Also, the users edits don't completely reach the MoS requirements. Is there any way to get the user to try to understand that what they enter should look a little less sloppy than it does.MarnetteD | Talk 08:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi again Bucketsofgrewal and thanks for your suggestions and advice. I went looking in another direction to get to the root of there being two different actors and found this [[8]] and this[[9]] which I think helps back up an important part of his story. I am not sure he will take suggestions from me in good stead, since I have made the mistake of making a mountain out of a molehill with his article so I appreciate your requests to him on his talk page. I find that each step, and misstep, I amke along the way here at WikiP is an interesting learning experience. Thanks, again, for your help.MarnetteD | Talk 20:59, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chris Kempling footnote error

Bucket, footnote 2 on the Chris Kempling article seems messed up (showing blank). I'd fix it, but I'm not as familiar as I think you are with the abbreviated references. Please see if you can correct it if you have time. Regards, Deet 01:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] If you're game I've got a new job for us

I started an article Peter and Murray Corren, and the Correns are now editing their own article, and have provided the key central document to the article (previously undisclosed I think). I've asked them to not edit the article directly as per Wikipedia's autobiography rules, but we need editors to go through their edits and incorporate the appropriate info into the main article. Deet 01:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I like your approach. I'm signing off for tonight because I don't want to cross edits with you and want to make sure that you have the freedom to have a fresh look at the whole thing. Deet 01:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia. With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)).

Hello,

An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Rachel Marsden. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Rachel Marsden/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Rachel Marsden/Workshop.

A serious message - PLEASE READ

Wikipedia operates on the principle that every contributor has a right if they wish to remain completely anonymous. Wikipedia policy on that issue is strictly enforced. Posting private information about a user, specifically their (alleged) name and/or personal details, is strictly prohibited as harassment, and users who do that are often immediately blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Such posting can cause offence or embarrassment to the victim of the posting, not least because it means that their name, and any personal criticism or allegations made against them can then appear on web searches. If you have posted such information, please remove it immediately. Please then follow the link to this page and inform people there that the information was posted (but crucially, do not repost it on that page). An admin or developer can then remove the information from the archives of Wikipedia.

If you do not ensure that personal information you posted is removed from this site you may be blocked from editing this site. REMEMBER: Wikipedia's privacy policy is there to protect the privacy of every user, including you.

Right, I would love to see you delete and finally remove all reference to my name and my personal information as I have requested since the earliest of points of deletion of my original post for the very reason that you all are requesting the same. I asked you kindly to remove all reference to me my name, my project name as it is one and the same in a way, or rather at least references me and all of my personal information, etc. and so on. As I mentioned earlier, this process seems quite hypocritical and one-sided. Please remove all reference to me and my projects as requested, and the user name of my original posts as that is personal info..

Would you please look at this article and SD if you think appropriate? The creator has already removed the {{db-bio}} once before. Thanks --SquidSK ^(1MC•log) 13:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spamming by 63.80.97.254 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log)

Why did you not block/ban this user? Final warning was given on 27 Sept 06 by User:AbsolutDan. How can two "final" warnings be needed? -Seidenstud 04:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I would usually agree with you, except in the case that it is the exact same m.o. It seems that someone who drops by every couple of weeks and spams 4 or 5 pages before being noticed (as has been the case with this spammer) can easily escape consequences for an extended length of time.... -Seidenstud 04:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marsden, in reply

I'm sure you are following the arbitration as closely as anyone. You are certainly more familiar with the subject that I am. I'll rely on you to do what you think is right. If, acting in good faith, you can't produce a neutral article, then I will support stubbing it and letting other editors see what they can do. Tom Harrison ^Talk 23:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I really didn't change anything on..anything! Look I just started, I don't even know how! Beleive me, I'm not intrested in having a bunch of people blame me falsely. Thanks.

what exactly is grewal? oh and i just wanted to tell you, i'm sort of new here, and didn't know that nonsense articles aren't allowed, i just thought they'd put it the "bad jokes & other deleted nonsense" section, but i guess not... so, sorry. please forgive me? Your Face

Buckets! i've got a job for you! go to the article transwiki and there's a message saying it needs expert help, something about a backlog. will you please fix the article?

I think you've been more than patient with the vandal and a block is certainly in order; probably won't take much though, he's probably up past his bedtime as it is :) --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 00:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed...

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] RfA thanks

[edit] 64.26.147.175

Just an FYI, I noticed you blocked 64.26.147.175 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) on November 4th for 48 hours. The IP came back and made a mess of a huge number of articles, starting off with an insert of your name [17]. I reverted everything. I'm not familiar with the ArbCom case, but thought you would like to know. -- Gogo Dodo 00:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi Bucketsofg, and thanks for your participation at the recent RfA, which did not succeed. For those of you who expressed their support, your kind words and your trust are sincerely appreciated. For those who were opposed --especially those who offered their constructive criticism-- please accept this message as assurance that equally sincere efforts, aimed at enhancing the quality and accuracy of representations within the Wikipedia, will continue. Striving for improved collaboration and consensus will also continue, with all of your insights in mind, while applying NPOV ideals as fairly and reasonably as possible.

[edit] List of strange units of measurement

Hi. Can you explain that reversion please? --Guinnog 02:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I did notice that, right after sending my message. Thanks for reverting. --Guinnog 02:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:Kingjeff

I had just fully protected the page when I saw you deny the request. I personally think it should just be protected for the time being as he is just using his user talk page to attract unneeded attention. It's only further escalating problems. Nishkid64 03:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

By the time I get on tomorrow, he'll already be unblocked for more than 10 hours. I guess I'll leave it as it is right now. Thanks for the quick reply, though. Nishkid64 03:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for Protecting the Article

I used to be a main contributor to the List of Pre-Made Sims Characters and i was sick and tired of reverting uneccesary edits and reverting Vandalism. Now that you banned Vandalisers people can finally read that article without any uneccesary infromation.

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi Bucketsofg, I am very thankful to you for supporting and comments on my succesful RfA. Shyam ^(T/C) 06:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me.

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi Bucketsofg, and thanks very much for your support during my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 64/0/0. I am grateful for the overwhelming support I received from the community, and hope I will continue to earn your trust as I expand my participation on Wikipedia. It goes without saying that if you ever need anything and I can help, please let me know. Wait, I guess it does go with saying. ; ) --cholmes75 (chit chat) 22:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dalbury's RfA

My RfA passed with a tally of 71/1/0. Thank you very much for your support. I hope that my performance as an admin will not disappoint you. Please let me know if you see me doing anything inappropriate. -- Donald Albury 03:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
