| Hello, Gwernol. I wanted to sincerely thank you for the extra effort you have put into getting the ] article up to standards. As you well know, it has been no small effort to monitor that very active article. I noticed that you have recently placed the article in ''"Protected"'' status. Might I make a humble request? Would you please consider changing the status to ''"Semi-Protected"''? That way, I and some of the other, more experienced editors could help with the clean-up. And almost all of the inappropriate edits have come from unregistered IP users. I will respect whatever decision you make, and, again, thanks for your efforts and guidance. --<span style="font-family:Palatino Linotype">]</span> 17:56, 16 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Hi its 578 == | |||
| Hello Gwernol, | |||
| Since you are the admin that I have had the most contact with and that I feel is the one of the more leveled headed ones, I would like to ask you a question. Yesterday AlphaChimp blocked an IP because I left I note on your talk page saying "I wasn't going to use the (fill in the blank) bot". S/he claimed that I was "threatening to commit vandalism" the other part of my note was also taken off your talk page. Now the rest of the note had nothing to even remotely do with vandalism yet it was still taken off. I was looking at the entries on U-boats the other day and in my view they are rather meager. I want to bring them up to the status that I fell they should be at. I would like to do this under my "578" screen name, but that is currently banned as you correctly linked it to the other IP's I was using. If you unblock my account I swear that I wont do any more vandalism to wikipedia again. If you (or any other admin) finds that 578 or any IP that traces to where I live is doing vandalism you can ban it for life. If you don’t want to unblock 578 I understand and I will make another account but openly state that its for my editing U-boat entries. | |||
| The reason why I started to vandalize wikipedia was because I did not like some of the new rules/policies and some of the users. Fram would follow a group of us around like a troll and try to Speedy Delete, AfD or RfA every article that we made (they were all legit despite what he claims)Though I reported this to admins and filled a legit RfA against him I was shot down saying I filled it wrong and if I did it again I would get banned. At that point it was pointless to even try to do anything more. I then became a vandal, I want to go back to being a legit editor (if you look at all the edits 578 made in around 2004-2005 all were legit). Let me know what you think. | |||
| TO ALL THE RC PATROLS PLEASE DONT BAN ME OR REMOVE THIS FROM GWERNOL'S TALK PAGE I AM NOT AND WILL NOT DO ANY MORE VANDALISM TO WIKIPEDIA. IF GWERNOL WANTS TO TAKE THIS OFF HIS TALK PAGE SO BE IT BUT PLEASE LEAVE THAT UP TO HIM. | |||

| == Tynllwynhen == | |||
| Further to my previous comments: coincidentally, I went to Tywyn today. I didn't have time to travel on the Talyllyn, but I did pick up a copy of the latest guide book. In that, they spell the halt with two words, i.e. Tynllwyn Hen. I suspect either is correct. — ] <small>(]/]/])</small> — 21:01, 16 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Pixies == | |||
| Hey. Uh...thanks. I messed up. I admit it. I'm...really sorry. I should have been upfront and either requested a move or contacted an admin. I didn't realize you could move an article to an existing redirect as long as it only has one edit in its history, which ] did. I just knew it couldn't stay at the title "]". I'm...sorry. Oh. I said that? Sorry. D'oh! There I go again. Anyway...thanks for fixing my mistake. I swear it won't happen again. | |||

| == Help disambiguating == | |||
| Hello, I've seen you've been editing UK related articles, and there is a current need to help disambiguate the term ]. At ], ''British'' is the disambiguation pages with the most links (by far), and ideally there should be no links to disambiguation pages. So if possible, please take a look at the ], and try to disambiguate the links to a more correct location. It's actually pretty easy, and most get disambiguated to ].

| You seem to be a really popular and well experienced admin, so I was wondering if you could give me some advice on things I would need to improve on if I ever wanted to become an admin. I was thinking about nominating myself on ], but I seriousley doubt I would be made an admin at this point. Looking at my own Logs and Contributions I have already noticed a few things that I'm lacking, but I'd really apreciate it if you could tell me specifically what I need to do to have a good chance at having a sucessful RfA.

| Re: Your message on ]. | |||
| I made these categories for ] to have upper-level categories at the top of the list instead of sub-categories at the top of the list. I don't like sub-categories being at the top of the list. Also, the !!! Albums is a sub-category and not a list of sub-categories. Therefore, it's name should be changed to Albums !!! so it's no longer at the top of the list. The top of the list should be lists of sub-categirues like any other Categorization plan. Using the exclamaation point I discovered is how the software gets the general categories at the top of the list, where they belong. | |||

| == British == | |||
| See ]. ] is a disambiguation page and from that page: "''Misplaced Pages articles should not link to disambiguation pages (with rare exceptions where the ambiguity of a term is being discussed); instead links should go directly to the appropriate article.''". British actually is the biggest disambiguation page and is the coloboration project of the month. The standard practice for adjectives for countries such as "American" or "Persian" is to disambiguate them to their country such as <nowiki>]</nowiki> and <nowiki>]</nowiki>. If you want more information ask ], he's kind of the user with the most experience disambiguating. -- ] 00:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Also note, that I don't always disambiguate to ]. I check the date and location that the adjective is referring to, and then decide. Some go to ], some go to ], some go to ], and some go to ]. Given the recentism that is in Misplaced Pages, however, its no surprise that many go to ], as usually all the film/song/pop/etc articles actually relate to the current country. -- ] 00:52, 21 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Vandalism == | |||
| Hi there; I have been fairly active today annoying vandals, and I seem to be a current target anyway. I will not be looged in again for about 24 hours. Could I ask you to do me a favour, keep an occasional eye on my pages, and revert any idiots who have nothing better to do than to attack me? Can my userpage be protected from new and unregistered users?--] 23:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Got home earlier than expected, and nothing seems to have happened; they must have got bored (or got blocked). If possible, I would still like my userpage blocked to new and unregistered editors. I know it can be done. Can you do it? Please?--] 17:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::OK fair enough. I am happy to follow wiki policy, although allowing free editing of other editor's userpages could be seen as a discussion point.--] 21:20, 25 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::Please do not misunderstand me; I had and have no intention of making any sort of issue out of it. Take it as residual irritation caused by 14 vandalisms. And yes, I know that some people have been hit a lot more. Thanks for your help.--] 21:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Assistance with a difficult editor == | |||
| Hi, We've interacted in the past and I appreciated the manner in which you dealt with the issue. (cuckold) I am hoping that you might give some assistance in dealing with a problem. Unfortunately I am involved in a revert war with a fellow named ] on the ] article and the ] article. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he keeps reverting editing changes that I have made. From the talk page on those articles, as well as his talk page, you can see I have worked hard to work it out. As a result of the difference of opinion that we have, I submitted an RfC], and got no response after a wait a few weeks. I then posted to the ] with no response. Eventually Michaelbluejay asked a friend of his to comment, (an admin I believe) who gave weak support. Now, I am not trying to get you involved in that really. Basically MichaelBluejay is a very good friend of Nikki Craft, and edits the content for her web sites, and insists on including references to those web sites numerous time in the indicated articles. ( and ] web sites does not qualify as a reliable source, and is largely original research and pushes a POV with little verifiable data (in my opinion). I've just asked Michael to pull the information relevant to the article INTO the article, and cite the original source, rather than the opinion on said sites. Lately in the Nikki Craft web site I have made improvements to her Bio, and asked for references for some of the information stated there, but where to references are cited. I keep being reverted, over and over, even though I am making what I believe to be meaningful changes. I find it disruptive to have to deal with being reverted over and over, and embarrassing to be involved in a revert war. I tried to negotiate that we would just leave the site alone until we got meaningful response on the RfC, but that brought that we could leave it alone as long as his citations remain. My other attempts to work with have failed too. | |||
| I guess I am not sure what I expect from you. I'm not asking for him to be blocked, or anything, I just wish someone who is an admin would step in and give a more authoritative opinion. If your opinion is in his favor, rather than mine, then so be it. At least the issue will be resolved. I suppose my ideal would be a request that we leave out the cited disputes until we get meaningful response from the RfC, or an admin willing to take on the issue of whether or not the web sites violate wikipedia standards, as I discuss in too much detail elsewhere. Even just a word of advice would be welcome. | |||

| Hello. Today I made my first edit - and I wonder if you can tell me why you removed it. I know I have a lot to learn about how this works, so I thought I'd just ask... | |||
| The edit was made on this page ]. The change I made was to add an external link to the web page of Benton High School in Columbia County. Perhaps only links to other Misplaced Pages pages are allowed? Or perhaps it isn't deemed useful to have a link to the website of the school? | |||

| Hi, no don't worry, you didn't miss anything on that RfA. I occasionally support users' RfA's if they don't stand a chance of passing. It's not the first time I've done it either. Why you ask? Well, | |||
| #There's no harm in it, as it won't actually affect the end result | |||
| #It's to help the candidate feel a bit better about themselves | |||
| #I believe throwing a bunch of oppose votes in someones face is unneccasary, when ultimately it won't make any difference | |||

| :Well I'm doing it for the same reason I'd say someone is reasonably good at painting, when infact they are not. Truth hurts sometimes, which is why lying is sometimes the better route to take. I won't stop voting like that in the future, but instead I'll take your advice and avoid using such strong words such as "awesome", I'll just tone it down a little.--<font style="background:white">]</font> 11:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Hesher? == | |||
| Thanks for the response. I was enlisting the help of others more educated than myself, but without a document to edit, I don't see how they can contribute. | |||
| This article is linked to from many related articles. Though incomplete, I believe the article I wrote works well as a base to be "cleaned up" and corrected. It is much more substantial than the previous article which was discussed & deleted. Do you not agree? | |||

| Hey Gwernol, | |||
| >> I don't see why starting it again in basically the same state <br> | |||
| If you look, it is not the same article at all. True, its not referenced, but it is researched (within wikipedia mostly) and links to many pertinent articles. It is clearly needed as part of the explanation of terms such as ], the origins of ], ] etc. | |||
| >> For 18 months the article sat there and wasn't sourced or improved<br> | |||
| The last article had 18 months to get "cleaned up", the one I created was barely alive 18 minutes. Hardly giving it a chance. | |||
| Found at least 5 articles that link to this one, is mine really worse than nothing? | |||
| I won't continue to argue if you still feel it warrants deletion. | |||

| Gwernol, I am writing you because you are an administrator who may be able to do something about ]. If you look at his Contributions page, you will find that he has been vandalizing for many months in dozens of articles. If you also look at his Talk page (]), he has been repeatedly warned and even blocked at least once. Is there no way in which this incorrigible vandalizer can be permanently blocked? - ] 17:18, 25 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Using the history of the ], I have created a discussion archive page at ]. As you are well aware, the history of that page was a mess: lots of refactoring and vandalism.

| == FT clan == | |||
| First of all I am calm and have been throughout this entire process to this point, but now I am starting to get pissed off. You claim to be making an encyclopedia yet you do not allow people to post things which others may learn about or learn from. Last time I checked people used encyclopedias for research and for learning about new things. I am not making personal attacks on any of the people here, I am merely stating how COMPLETELY AWFUL my experience with wikipedia has been so far. If you are to encourage people to contribute then maybe you could try by not being so uptight and by not being assholes to those who post things.] 19:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| How am I to discuss things with people who are being quite simply, closed minded and will not listen to my arguements? In my last recreation of the page which I have posted, I put the reasons why the group was significant which is what I had been asked for, but you just flat out deleted it anyway. How about you make up your mind about what you want from me?] 20:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Well then what contribution of yours am I supposed to talk about? The fact that you so nonchalantly go around and delete other peoples work as if you were god? Also, just because you, as GOD obviously, havent heard about the clan doesnt mean that it isnt notable. And how are there supposed to be "reliable sources" when I cited the web site of the clan and the only real sources about the clan besides that are the people in them? How do YOU know that we are not reliable?] 20:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Personal attacks do not include civil language used to describe an editor's actions, and when made without involving their personal character, should not be construed as personal attacks. I did not say anything about your character, merely about your attitude towards others, especially those new here. Thus, you need to read the article you posted for me to read yourself before you get on your high horse and say I made a personal attack when I clearly did not as defined by your own rules.] 20:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

Retired This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanz 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
