== Stop vandalizing USC articles. ==

If you do not cease reverting USC articles I'll have you blocked. You are helping an avowed hater of USC in CobraGeek, just read his pathetic userpage, the loser HATES USC. Don't make me seek action against you.

Thanks for the help! It works now.   jj137 03:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Great success!
Thank you for supporting my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 53-3-2. Special thanks goes to Shalom for both the suggestion and the nomination. I'm honored by the trust that the community has shown in me, and will do my very best as an administrator. Thanks again! faithless () 08:31, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Is this a problem?

Might want to check 'this' out. Is that considered vandalism if you take off the heading? --HPJoker (talk) 03:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I would consider that vandalism if it says to leave that alone. I warned the user, and if he does anything bad again, let me know and I'll give him an indef-block (for vandalism-only account).   jj137 04:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
You must be a Wikiholic. Thanks. --HPJoker (talk) 04:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Hehe, you could say that :)   jj137 04:11, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Can I leave spammers those warnings? I keep finding them. --HPJoker

Advertising

If I went on a message board (red sox.com) and advertised our newsletter and asked for ideas (NOT WRITERS, IDEAS. 'these' are writers). Is that ok? --HPJoker (talk) 04:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I think that sounds like a good idea (although, make sure nobody gets mad there, because well that wouldn't be good, and I'm not familiar with the message boards there). I think I will go have a look around at these boards-- just because I've never seen them.   jj137 05:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
'Here' --HPJoker (talk) 05:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

There it is. Thanx. --HPJoker (talk) 19:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure there are plenty of Sox fans who will help us out.   jj137 19:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Wrong. Only 63 views and 1 post from someone other than me. --HPJoker (talk) 23:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
That's not good. Well, we still have a couple more days to wait and see. Tomorrow I am going to work on the newsletter some.   jj137 05:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
What are you going to write about? I'm feeling bad since I haven't wrote anything in the pass two weeks. --HPJoker (talk) 06:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I saw there was another reply this morning; someone mentioned Buchholz visiting Beckett's house. If we looked into that some more I think we could have an article about that.   jj137 16:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I wonder where he heard that. Nothing on ESPN.com, MLB.com, or RedSox.com. Does Clay or Josh have a blog that they posted it on? Did NESN report it? --HPJoker (talk) 19:34, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Would you mind un-protecting my monobook page? It was supposed to be un-protected at 15:12 on 12/26, obviously a computer goof has prevented that. Can you help me out? Take Care...NeutralHomer 18:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I unprotected your monobook (and removed the {{helpme}}).   jj137 18:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

You may want to close the AfD for the Strider Phoenix page you deleted, as it is now irrelevant. Improbcat (talk) 18:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

An Administrator is I!

KoL images are copyrighted, so I'll use this PD one instead.

Adventurer! The Council has identified a number of strange occurrences (such as "vandals" and "articles for deletion") in the surrounding wilderness. The Council would check it out, but they have important Councily-type things. But never fear: brave adventurers known as "sysops" roam the lands!

Thank you for your support in my quest to become a sysop. Although I am now wielding the keys to my very own Bitchin' Meatcar, I promise to uphold the laws of the land, martini in hand, in a way that would make Saint Sneaky Pete proud. I will do my best to be a Jack of Several Trades (although I may be a Master of Nuns). I promise to Heart Canadia. And I will make it my goal to Make War, Not ... er, Wait, Never Mind.

I am glad to serve my guild, the League of Wikipedians. If I can be of any assistance, or you have any questions, suggestions, or criticisms in the future, please let me know. And if you are at a loss for what any of the above actually means, see this website.

Thanks again.

User:B. Johnston

Hi Jj137,

I just got a message from an IP claiming to be User:B. Johnston. It appears you created this account for him a couple of days ago (I assume at WP:ACC), but since the WP:ACC page has since been deleted and restored, I can't tell if this is the same IP that requested the account or not. My response to him will be slightly different depending on if this is the same IP that requested the name; can you look at the deleted page and see for me?

I assume that the password you chose for him was random, and you can't email it to him again yourself. I'll give him the usual recommedation about checking his spam filter, but assuming that doesn't work, he's either out of luck, or in theory I'm fairly sure a 'crat could make the account available again. If you have an opinion on whether I should bug a 'crat about this, I'd be happy to hear it; technically if their email service is acting up, it's not Misplaced Pages's problem, but I'd still like to help the guy out if it's relatively painless. --barneca (talk) 23:16, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Saw your reply, thanks! --barneca (talk) 13:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for supporting my candidateship

Hi. I would like to thank you for supporting my Requests for adminship/Magioladitis. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Dear Jj137, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind support on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (72/19/6).

Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.

Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — E 12:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Bobby Farrell

Dear Jj137, I'm sorry but I have to again protest the wording of the external link on Bobby Farrell. IMO this is clearly in violation of WP:RSUE: "In principle, readers should have the opportunity to verify for themselves what the original material actually said, that it was published by a credible source, and that it was translated correctly. Where sources are directly quoted, published translations are generally preferred over editors performing their own translations directly. Where editors use their own English translation of a non-English source as a quote in an article, there should be clear citation of the foreign-language original, so that readers can check what the original source said and the accuracy of the translation." Best regards, Jvhertum (talk) 13:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I removed the external link altogether and alerted USRepublican we couldn't use it. Hopefully this is all settled now. --  jj137 16:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Let's hope so :) Jvhertum (talk) 19:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Newsletter

That sounds like a pretty good idea. STORMTRACKER 94 13:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree with StormTracker. That is a good idea. Would we be doing this during the regular season? --HPJoker (talk) 19:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Sure. During the regular season, it would obviously be much easier to find stuff to write about; we could probably have an article each week about the Red Sox games they played that week.   jj137 20:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I found a blog for Clay Buchholz here, but there's nothing there about it. You could write something about Josh Beckett winning the This Year in Baseball Starter of the Year Award; it happened December 10, but if we need a story I don't see anything wrong with writing about it. (We haven't written about it yet.)   jj137 21:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Better than anything else I've heard today. Is there anything else? --HPJoker (talk) 21:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
For now, no. Right now I'm in the middle of writing an article on George Murray, so that can count as one of the three new articles.   jj137 21:28, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey! May 1st is my B-Day! Why did you wikify the US Dollar? Other than that it's good. --HPJoker (talk) 21:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I added a link to the U.S. dollar because some people may not be familiar with the dollar sign. For example, I probably couldn't recognize the sign for the rupee, and if I saw it I wouldn't know what it was.   jj137 21:38, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Intresting. Would this be ok? Mark Loretta as a featured article next week? --HPJoker
Sure, and cool new signature.   jj137 02:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Spammers

That was great. I've been watching the Sandbox all day long (I was bored) and some bot came along and either added spam to the page or replaced the whole entire page with something and left. Would copying and pasting a whole entire page be a level 3? I'm trying to get a perspective.

Also, how can I make sig be my timestamp, so I can just click on that thing and have that appear? Is that possible? Thanx. --HPJoker

I'm not sure what you mean by "copy and pasting an entire page". As in, replicating the page, or blanking it? As for what level warning to give, you can just use your own self judgement on that; if it is just replacing a word with "poop" (or something along those lines) you could just use level 1 or 2, because it isn't that bad. Also, in the sandbox, you don't have to revert vandalism there; that is where most people work with editing (Obviously, if it is bad, you can remove it). You can try going to recent changes and looking for vandalism there. For your signature, you can add the signature code to your preferences so that all you have to put is ~~~~ each time you add a comment.   jj137 02:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I just removed that sup thing from the end and your text is all small. Odd. HPJoker
Actually, if you are using any browser except Internet Explorer, you can install Twinkle, a vandalism-reverting tool. It really helps.   jj137 03:04, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Neat. --]''' <sup>] (talk) 03:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Ok, that sig is screwed up. What did I do wrong? I copied and pasted it into the my preferences thing.
Invalid raw signature; check HTML tags.
I've tried removing them both, keeping them both, and removing the one at the beginning. Test didn't work. HPJoker .
I copied and pasted that. How did you do it?
Test Test --HPJoker 04:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
This apparently doesn't work. --HPJoker 04:11, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
No, I did the quick sig there. The Timestamp. >>> is a timestamp sig. --HPJoker 04:14, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. This is my gift to you (if you like classic rock)! --HPJoker 04:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


User talk:67.64.3.189

I realize you placed a 31 hour block on him for my report of his vandalism; there is one other thing I've just discovered, based on his pattern and prior abuse under the separate IPs: he's a sock of User:Jamesinc14. Yanking him entirely would probably be a better course of action. (and thanks!) --Mhking (talk) 04:25, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately we can't indef-block IPs unless they are open proxys. I kept his block for vandalism, though.   jj137 04:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Fryderik Frontier

Thanks, mate; always nice when someone edits an article I've created and it wasn't to flag it for speedy deletion. :)

I appreciate the redirect fix (for capitalizing Fryderik Frontier's last name). MJustice (talk) 05:31, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: ClueBot U1

This time, I used a batch deletion script located here. east.718 at 05:41, December 29, 2007

RE: Sandbox

. That is why I wanted a perspective. I'm glad I learned something bymyself through. --HPJoker 06:05, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Is putting up links to Google vandalism? --HPJoker 00:11, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I was just looking at the mass edits (are those mass edits?) made at the Sandbox.
I guess so. I think something like that could be considered vandalism.   jj137 00:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your support in my successful RFA. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 07:20, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Same stuff,new day.......

Thank you for your assist on the Michael Parenti page. There is currently much pressure from the two IP, (one)person editor to get the references up. I understand the importance, however it is a Holiday and I am a student and work at University. My parents visit comes first.

Thank you for template for citation. If I am unable to make it work correctly in sandbox, who do I ask for assist?

Last Question......Is there anything I can do to bring anonymous IP ( history of edit war, vandalism) to accountability. I really want this to be better article, not agendas.

Thank You again, JJilliana27 (talk) 17:01, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, it doesn't look like there's enough vandalism to have the article semi-protected right now.   jj137 17:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring my userpage, Nick Martin (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

No, although I don't know what context it is used in.   jj137 00:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Al-Ahbash - Protection

Thanks for your quick reaction. The pity is, you did not protect the "clean" version. Now we have to stay just with that agressive Anti-Habash text, we wanted to keep from beeing inserted over and over again :-( --89.56.167.80 (talk) 22:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I recommend a revert to this version - AloknaBot 05:34, 18 November 2007, as it has been used for several reverts in the near past - adding the changes, that were made by PixelBot 13:50, 28 December 2007 --89.56.167.80 (talk) 01:11, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I reverted to that version.   jj137 01:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

User:ClaxsonUnit

Hm. Did you mean to block that user per {{UsernameBlock}}? I don't see what's wrong with the account name. — Coren  00:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I blocked it because it is similar to User:Claxson, a sock master, and may cause confusion (or it may just be a sock of that person).   jj137 00:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

1288 ---> 1286_1286-2007-12-30T00:23:00.000Z">

User:Ad84

Thanks! :) Take Care...NeutralHomer 01:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. I would have given him an indef-block for vandalism only account, but it seems he did have some good faith edits.   jj137 01:38, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, some of his edits weren't bad. I think he was just a newbie that didn't know his way around Misplaced Pages yet. Take Care...NeutralHomer 01:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
That's what it seems. He probably just got aggrevated that people were warning him not to vandalize. I guess he can use the 24 hours as a cool down period.   jj137 01:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
We probably could still use one more article, if we can find something to write about in time.   jj137 01:44, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I saw your RFPP; I don't think there's much need to protect the article now that Ad84 is blocked. When his block is over, we may need to. I'll keep it watchlisted.   jj137 01:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
(Re: RFPP) - I requested the RPP before I put him on AIV. The RFPP can probably be cancelled for the time being and if need be, like you said, I can re-request. - NeutralHomer 01:56, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
You can remove it if you like. You shouldn't have to re-request it tommorow, as since I have it watchlisted I should be able to see if Ad84 is back at it again. Of course, if I am not getting around to it you should re-request it.   jj137 01:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I wasn't sure if I could...didn't want to get in trouble. I did withdrawn/delete it just a moment ago though. Thanks for your help. Take Care...NeutralHomer 02:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Afghanistan protection

Hello, you recently unprotected Afghanistan, stating as your reason that there had only been vandalism from IPs. However, the main problem on that article is not so much the vandalism but the sockpuppeting. I don't mind having it unprotected, but can I ask you to help watching it while it's being edited? Every new account that turns up on that or any related article continuing the old ethnic disputes between Pashtuns and Tajiks and about the demonym "Afghan" and "Afghanistani" is a sock. Since your unprotection, there have been at least two new ones, including lots of edit-warring, at least one bogus 3RR report by a banned sock against a legitimate user, and so on so forth. Thanks, Fut.Perf. 10:11, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I can help keep an eye on it. Do you think it should be reprotected to any level?   jj137 16:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for help with the anon IP userspace vandalism and personal attacks.

Appreciate the quick turnaround. There are several registered users who I'm sure were getting tired of the attacks. I had e-mailed User:Húsönd on two occassions to make sure I was doing the right thing here. Thanks again. --CobraGeek (talk) 17:22, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Congrats on a job well done!

I got the newsletter. The bot seems to be working fine. Our only problem is that we didn't get three articles. No deal through. It's hard to create three new articles of old Red Sox players. Ever thought of doing only one? --HPJoker 18:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Protected Nintendo GameCube

I just wanted to let you know that only one person, User:Mega Man 5 and his sockpuppet, User:142.59.1.45 support having the section in question the way it currently is, and everyone else who has commented (including myself) support the other way. (please see Talk:Nintendo GameCube#Section: "Marketing Share" tense for discussion on this.) This problem has been ongoing for some time, and I would like to request that you block Mega Man 5 and his sock and unblock Nintendo GameCube because this is a case of WP:OWN by Mega Man 5.

Stop vandalizing USC articles.

If you do not cease reverting USC articles I'll have you blocked. You are helping an avowed hater of USC in CobraGeek, just read his pathetic userpage, the loser HATES USC. Don't make me seek action against you.
