User talk:Philosopher1

Hi there. I just reverted that blocked guy's talk page again. I need to step back, being the blocking admin an' all, as I need to stay neutral and am quite annoyed right now. Can you take a look? Thanks - Alison 05:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for following up on that. Much appreciated. Furthermore, I think I learnt a lesson there about engaging obvious trolls, even in the most minor way. WP:RBI and all that. Thanks again :) - Alison 15:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I love you

Thank you for indefinitely blocking User:JFBurton. You are my very favorite Wikipedian in the world right now. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow, I came here just to tell you the same thing. This guy was still hurling misiniformed insults at me... About an article I last edited on January 29th. (This, in response to this, because I'm from the U.S.) Good riddance. Grandmasterka 22:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your message on my talk page about the article Youhannan Semaan Issayi after you deleted the previous 2 and began the new one. It was driving me crazy as I didn't know what to do. I tried, here and there, by looking up sources and couldn't find any... well one or two. Correcting spellings, that I was sure of (not many), capitalizing what I was sure of (not many), and grammar (not well). Oh my! I didn't want to slam the creator of the article and tried the best I could with little (none) knowledge of the subject and my inability to correctly format citations (the way they display in the reference section and citing same source on different info). I'm working on it though. Cheers! __Jeeny 16:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your support in my recent RfA- I have now been promoted. J Milburn 17:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

MySpace Events

Why was myspace events deleted all that it needed was there and someone who didnt participate on its discussion at all deleted it.Martini833 20:03, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

• I understand that but the votes were much more on the keep side so it must have been a decision he thought of instead of what the wikipedians wanted. And could you alert fellow admins to see what they say so tht i may get an idea about this article staying on Misplaced Pages.com Martini833 21:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

HELP

Please see User talk:Paulapatty page with the deletion request back on the page. You had changed the article Youhannan Semaan Issayi earlier after I tagged it for deletion. I thought his user page reflected that, as I didn't notice it before now. Thanks for the help in looking into this, as it will help solve any confusion for the original author and myself. I have been working on this for hours. lol. Jeeny 20:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the delete tag. Heck, the poor guy is probably so confused. I answered you on my talk page, but thought I'd say something here too, to make another long page for you to archive. :p Jeeny 21:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

South Australian general election, 2006

Hi. This WP:BRD is new to me but it seems like a good way forward. According to the page, it requires some leadership and experience to work - so I hope you are going to stick around and drive that process forward. Joestella 16:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you need to look at the last 3 months edit history of this user, of his own talk page, at WT:AUSPOL, and you'll see that consensus generally puts this user in a slim minority and he has a habit of forcing his beliefs, opinions and behaviour on everyone else, and doesn't take "no" for an answer. Also two AFDs I started at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Western Australian general election campaign, 2005 and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/South Australian general election campaign, 2006, and his at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/User:Jeendan which closed keep. Im prepared to consider what he has to say, but I'm not willing to tolerate bullying and aggressive/extreme behaviour. Note that these extreme reversions and content changes only began 2 hours ago, at his instigation, the page had been completely silent before that time. DanielT5 16:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

It appears that his edits were an attempt to disrupt a currently-running AfD on South Australian general election campaign, 2006 (an article Joe created out of process a bit over a month ago which is currently looking like Delete consensus), which has just hours to run. I am genuinely disappointed, after my good faith attempts to reach out to him over the last 36 hours after editing at the WA article reached a similar peak. I have removed several objections to contentious changes he had proposed elsewhere as he finally conceded on a couple of key issues which I and others had raised, and I was genuinely shocked to see what he did tonight. If a block is not given tonight, I can foresee one soon (probably on another article yet to be determined), as it is a consistent pattern of behaviour. A random survey of WikiProject Australian Politics or the most visible Australian admins would probably solicit a similar response to my own, he's been on the radar for months (long, long before I came on the scene, as I normally edit geographic articles). Orderinchaos 16:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I honestly think, and I hate to say it, but an RFC with binding conditions may be the only way to fix this one. I *want* it to be otherwise, but I am too familiar with this editor's contribution history and complete disdain and contempt for his fellow users to have faith in any informal negotiated outcome - any good outcome I believe has to start with mutual respect.

olympian efforts

You beat me to fixing Olympian by minutes. It is frightening: Google has already seen it! -- RHaworth 18:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

User Kirbytime

Thanks for following up on that. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 19:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

No the time looks good. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 20:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Jamdonut

Again, I'm just screwing with him. He's fighting an obvious block, so why not have fun with the punk? --Golbez 20:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

My WP:AN/I report

I responded on that page, but to summarize, I need to see some diffs here if you are asserting that the individual you reported is continuing the same behavior they were blocked for.--Isotope23 14:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the late response. Truth is that the individual Artaxerex (talk · contribs · count) only came back today, with the original user name and another edit war broke out at Reza Shah (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) --Rayis 23:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

BLP

You seem to be regularly enforcing this based on recent events, can I get some input here please? Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

No rush, thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Question

I'm sorry for bothering you, but I know that you're an admin, and that you would know this... and I don't, because I'm a newcomer. When you look at the recent edits on "my watchlist", what do the (-74) or (+3214) mean? - Hmwith 19:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I thought it was a user rating or something, haha. - Hmwith 19:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry about that! By the way, how long will it take to check the user? Davnel03 13:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Mifflin Street Block Party

Careful... You reverted one sockpuppet but not the other. (This is your revert; this is JFBurton hijacking the whole article. :-) Grandmasterka 16:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: P.B. Pilhet

P.B. Pilhet has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!

Yes, I had figured the vandal and Jayrowbo were one and the same. But there's not much I can do about it; that's what comes of being a vandal patroller. Actually, I was being pestered by an IP vandal for a while before the Jayrowbo thing. Then, all of the sudden, the IP came back and apologized to me (in great detail). Not surprisingly, right after that, a new account (User:Ih8God), came out of nowhere and vandalized my userpage again. So it appears that the IP, Ih8God, and Jayrobow are all the same person.

Thanks for noticing my plight :-) -- 18:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

You'll never stop me I'll bring this wikipedia down!

Well no, not really. Sorry about that, thanks for fixing my accidently removal of another editors remarks. --Fredrick day 19:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Help again, Please!

I don't know what else to do or how to report this issue. You're the only administer that I've had actual contact with. I have been working my butt off the past few days on Misplaced Pages, while also fighting vandanism, reverting articles and posting warnings. This user Special:Contributions/76.171.9.67 has vandalized a lot of pages, plus he did it to my user page! I guess it's because I gave him/her a bunch of warnings as he/she was going around to many articles inserting the same nonsense while I was working really late into the evening last night. Can you help either by protecting my page or something? Will that prevent me from editing it? lol. I'm sorry, I'm still new and having a hard time learning the ropes in addition to other things I have to learn and study. Will appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Thank you.

User:Daniel575

This is the last discussion on Daniel... I guess he was never technically banned, but if those socks are being abusive, block them too. Grandmasterka 21:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
