[edit] regarding POMONA BOYS gang article
can you block this ip: 67.127.101.9 he keeps messing with the article and before that he used a diff ip which was 68.123.145.122 and that one got blocked so now he's using a diff one. if you go here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pomona_Boys&action=history you can see how many times he's messed with that article, i'm just here to show the facts and trying to stop vandalism on wikipedia myself but it's hard work, and this guy is really at it, he keeps messing with that wikipedia article... perhaps he's their rival, i don't know, but it has to stop.
[edit] Closing Discussions
I noticed that you are using {{debate top}} to close discussions. The {{Bot Top}} should be used instead. (The shortcuts {{subst:BT}} and {{subst:BB}} work as well) -- RM 13:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Uncyclopedia
Just to let you know, it isn't actually protected at the moment; it only has the template. I assume that wasn't what you intended. Gavia immer (u|t|c) 16:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] re:hipforums.
I do not understand why my oppinions on the controvercy section were removed from the discussion page. Isn't that supposed to be composed of oppinions to discuss the issue further? It seems as though by limiting what past users of that forum have to say about it, you are cencoring information which may be benificial to others.
It is a fact, that there was a mass ban, it is a fact that users were banned for expressing distaste to the admin of that forum which claims to be a free speech site. These things shouldn't just be written out of the encyclopedia they should be brought to the attention of those who wish to learn more about hipforums from a fair and balanced perspective.
If there are oppinions which contrast then both should be discussed or at least brought to light in order to give a fair representation of the issue.
My intire point was, hipforums claims to be a site based on hippies and free speech, yet they fascistly cencor their users and erradicate any beliefs which conflict with their own, this cannot be proven because the admin quickly deletes posts and bans users which do not hang on his coat tail. This can be shown by how skip stone chose to edit out my entry into the wikipedia discussion section for hipforums. He seems to believe that if he doesn't like an issue he can merely delete it and ignore it and not address it.
In short could you explain to me why my controversy section was deleted from the discussion page? Insanejester 17:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] thanx again
is there another admin which I can bring this issue up with? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Insanejester (talk • contribs) .

[edit] StormPay
Accusing my NPOV edits of being "vandalism" and saying I am not allowed to edit the StormPay article with factual information
I am posting here in regard to this comment left by you in regards to myself on User:Nlu's talkpage.
"I've reduced this block from indef to 1 month, and it is almost over. I'd remind the editor that continued entry of POV material may be considered vandalism, and the perhaps some of our other million articles may be more interesting to edit than StormPay. — xaosflux Talk 05:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC) "
I have committed no vandalism to Wikipedia and what I added was never POV material. My contributions have always changed the article from having a biased POV that omits any factual information that paints that company in anything other than a good light to being closer to a NPOV.
The only time I ever edited Wikipedia was under this name.
Can you please explain to me why User:Nlu having slandered me by accusing me of vandalism I never did under names/IP address I never used, and then unjustly banning me from editing as a result of me contributing factual information to lessen the flagrant biased POV in the StormPay article results in Wiki Admin unanimously defending this corrupt action and trying to censor NPOV information from the StormPay article by in essence saying that I am not allowed to add factual NPOV information to it?
If there is not a vested interest in Wiki Admin keeping that article biased towards a pro-StormPay POV, then why is it that anything I've posted on it is censored and labelled as "vandalism" yet the clearly pro-StormPay POV of the article is not treated in an equal manner? --Keepthefactsinwikiplease 10:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lupe Fiasco vandaliser
There is a user, 216.86.77.194, who keeps on vandalising Lupe's sales of his first album Food & Liquor. Eventhough reliable sources are posted for this user to see, the person simply ignores this and changes the sales amount. He also seems to have a negitive opinion of the rapper based on his modifications. Will you please help me out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.245.224.93 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] I think i didn't do this just quite right
Theres this guy User:63.114.228.2 who like to put up vandalism. I know he had a {{test1}} and hes had other warnings sense then. A total of like five or six. So i put a {{test5}}. Could you take a look-e-see to make sure i did it right.--aceslead 21:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your talk page
My first impression when I got here was that your talk page has been blanked by a vandal. There are many ways to archive a talk page, but blanking is one of the least popular. You may want to visit WP:ARCHIVE for additional options that you may find useful. — xaosflux Talk 01:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- No, no one blanked my page. I kinda just wanted a fresh start.--aceslead 02:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism of Jamie Gold article
Nice work blocking this user, I saw the vandalism wasn't going to stop after multi-reverts and being warned by another user, so I rushed to temp block and used a template I hadn't used before{Test5-n}, it needed a time for a value rather then a page name, my apologies ~~=Sirex98= 05:00, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey, regarding Template:Uncyclopedia
I'm here to ask if you were behind its deletion, and if so, why? I am the original creator of the template, and no one complained at the time when I asked if I could create it. I think it brings "interwikiness" among articles, as well as showing the fun side of things, after all Wp is considered by many to be too "dry", and a link at the bottom of articles showing alternative versions for parody reasons would in my opinion improve the Wikipedia experience, as well as prevent some vandalism by "smart-asses".
I thereby ask that that template may be recreated again. It took me a lot of work to create it and I have to confess, I was bold in doing so, but that's what people expect from editors, is it not?
I can't figure very well the deletion log, so I'm not even sure if it was you who deleted it originally. If not, could you please inform the original admin of my position? Or if you point me in the right track, I'll do it myself.--Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves/Saoshyant talk / contribs 09:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I've been looking around and seems like people apparently liked the template and tried to recreate it after the deletion, which led to the protection of the page. I speak for myself, though. I created the template last friday, 20 October, and I've been out of Wp the whole weekend. So, it is today that I learn of these things going on now. I haven't tried to re-create the template, although I wish to start a discussion on it, so that its recreation or "undeletion" might be considered. I don't believe it's admins who consider what should go or not in Wp, but the community as a whole. As such, I'd like you to consider my words here. When I created the template my intention was good; I didn't intend to vandalize Wp, or in any way interfere with it in a negative way. Do you know that there's an Uncyclopedia:link by default? That leads me to believe that mr. Jimbo Wales appreciates Uncyclopedia and doesn't mind users linking to articles in there.--Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves/Saoshyant talk / contribs 11:17, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your message
The message you put all over my user pages is inaccurate. Stop harrassing me now!
You put a message all over my user pages saying that "editing or adding comments to this page is currently disabled for new or unregistered users." This is first of all, inaccurate. Even registered users cannot edit my pages. Second of all, stop vandalizing my user pages. I have been simply trying to clean the crap off the talk page, and then I tried to request my user account be deleted. Because of idiot assholes like you, this has been made much more difficult than it needed to be. Remove the crap you put on my pages. I will give you and the other assholes time to clean up your mess until they make a decision on allowing me to delete my user account. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.228.229.141 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Blocking a user?
- Zbuddy (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log) This user has constantly been adding the same vandalism to the page Return to Halloweentown. He has been warned several times, and continuously repeats the offense, even after a final warning. I posted his name on the suggestions of users to be blocked, but it was removed without action. Do you think you can tell me why? Thanks!! MiniMary12 02:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Cool, thanks!! And I've been on here for a year already, but thanks for the welcome. Hope I can be an admin one day! MiniMary12 02:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] don't swear
great user page and all, but please refrain from posting semi-swear words on there. also, i like the interface, direct links to your talk page and stuff. and your bot, fluxbot, oh he's so cool! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Happy8 (talk • contribs) .

Thanks for your advice xaosflux, i made sure to visit those helpful links and bookmark them. just out of curiosity, are you an admin? Happy8 05:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Dear xaosflux, could you visit the article transwiki? It appears to need administrative help. Oh, and thanks for following my suggestion about that little swear word thing. Thanks again, Happy8 05:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User_talk:Cardinal Wurzel
You said: "Noticed you just blocked this user for an apparent WP:FU violation. I just left them a message as well. If they reply that they get it now or something to that affect I'd support reducing the block lenght, they appear to have been making useful contributions as well."
- I monitor these (and all blocks) and if a user seems to realise what they did wrong, I immediately unblock them. Well, once at least, sometimes twice. :) The block is not punitive, it's simply to try to reform the behaviour. --Yamla 16:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I'd like to register some sort of formal complaint against Yamla for his behaviour yesterday. I believe his blocking me was completely punitive, and that his feeling the need to assert that it wasn't suggests he knows perfectly well that it was. I uploaded a picture, which was removed as having no fair use rationale. I re-added it, providing a rationale, and it was removed again; my rationale being deemed not sufficient. Fair enough. I then added a movie poster instead, believing posters to be incontrovertably fair use, which was where you arrived on the scene and disabused me of that notion. That was the end of it as far as I was concerned, and I was amazed to find myself blocked. I believe it to have been a ridiculously heavy-handed response to three - three! - good-faith edits. I believe it was a complete abuse of Yamla's administrator privileges, and that he seems to be extremely trigger-happy with his ability to block people. He also seemed to have trouble un-blocking me.
I've looked at the "dispute resolution" sections, but they all seem unecessarily protracted. I don't want to instigate anything ongoing. I don't want to "begin proceedings". As far as I am concerned, the matter is closed. But I would like to think that somebody is keeping an eye on Yamla to make sure he doesn't abuse his position in this way with other users, and I would just like to be on record somewhere as having made this complaint. Is there any system for doing that? Cheers, Cardinal Wurzel 21:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

You said: "FYI, I replied to this user at User_talk:Cardinal_Wurzel#Your_BlockUser_talk:Cardinal_Wurzel#Your_Block."
- Thanks. I appreciate you offering to help this user out. --Yamla 04:01, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice; I'll look into it. C'mon, honestly, do you not think blocking me after three edits for "persistent abuse" was A Bit Much? Cardinal Wurzel 10:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I have refrained from providing any additional comments on this issue because I do not think it likely to particularly help matters. However, if either of you wish me to clarify my position and correct what I see as being some mistakes, please let me know. The first step in conflict resolution, however, is to step back, which is what I'm trying. --Yamla 14:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

"The first step in dispute resolution is generally disucssing the changes on the Talk Page of the page you are conerned about." This is not what I wish to dispute the reverting on David'a part. I am only allow 3 reversion and respect the policy so I rather dispute this then to revert again. Where do you suggest I go, or who do you suggest I talk to. This David person takes forever to reply and keeps reverting only because he wants it his way. 128.226.160.124 16:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, could you please correct the Esperanza MFD?
Hello, you seem to have edited a signed statement I made, after a page was protected. This has altered both the formatting and the wording of my statement. [2]
- I closed as No consensus, not as Speedy no consensus.
- You have reincluded a broken link that was since fixed.
- Formatting is a matter of taste, so I won't comment on that here. Though your alteration of formatting does make my argument less legible, and editing other peoples' signed statements is somewhat discouraged.
Please correct at least the first two points as quickly as possible, since those alterations misstate my actual opinion, and introduce two errors besides.
Thank you.
