Misplaced Pages

And if I had been out, then leaving a message here could have taken hours or even days. AIV eliminates that possibility and ensures that some admin will see the vandal. If the problem is super-urgent, then pop into IRC and say something; there is almost always an admin in there. - jredmond 21:12, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert on my talk page! Grutness...wha? 01:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Yeah I saw all thatbut I checked the log before re-added it and the only thing I saw was the 24 hour block that had expired. It must have been put on sometime right after I re-added it. Thanks though.Gator (talk) 19:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

PLEASE HELP ME

I need an admin. I am Bucephalus. I messing around with my monobook file, trying to make the navigation popups work. I broke it. Now I can't access my user name. Only admins and the user themselves can access the file. Please can you blank the file:

http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Bucephalus/monobook.js

This should make it work. Thank you --Bucephalus1 23:06, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

on REMOVING my LINK

Why did you remove my external link??? Who are you people and why do you feel that you can do this all the time. We have a legitimate magazine and it should be including alongside those other magazines as well. Do you work them??? What is the deal????

I have no connection to any of those magazines. However, since you have a connection to musclepolynesia.com, you should avoid adding links to that site to avoid any possible implications of spamming. Please see Misplaced Pages:External links#What should not be linked to for further details on our external linking policy. - jredmond 04:03, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

What do you mean by spamming? You think I'm going to spam people? Uh... I don't do stuff like that. I'm simply adding our link (just like they did) to increase awareness of other avenues other than these magazines. Actually, some of these magazines are linked on our site. They are no different to us.

ok I will blank it for you.

Baseball on Wikicities

Hello Jredmond, Googie Man here, and I'm writing in case you're a baseball fan, as I noticed you made an edit on the Albert Pujols article. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Misplaced Pages, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Misplaced Pages and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man, 22:07, 4 January 2006

Thanks...

Yeah, thats what I intended...but I also gave up trying to edit that page after three of us tackled it. I wasn't aware it ever included my edit enough to let others see it. My bv is not needed in any case after your test2 and the test5 from whichever phoenix. :) --Syrthiss 17:36, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Dfitty

When reverting a user's vandalism, check their contributions and make sure the user hasn't vandalized other pages. freestylefrappe 18:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, but I already do. Please check the contribs; you should see that I reverted Dfitty's very first edit more than a day before Dfitty's second one. - jredmond 00:38, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

2019 edit

Hi. Please take a look at the talk page for 2019 regarding your edit. Thanks.

One of your favorite people

Time to make good on Test4-n with this anonymous user. I'd do it but am no admin. Bill 15:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - working on it now. - jredmond 16:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

United States Bill of Rights

Hi, I'm soliciting Misplaced Pages:Peer review#United States Bill of Rights comments from people who contributed to the FA on the 1st Amendment, since there doesn't seem to be any response at PR. Many thanks, Kaisershatner 21:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

User:64.9.10.166

Re: the indefinite block of this IP and Johnleemk's blocklog comments - according to Misplaced Pages:Blocking policy#Expiry times and application the shortest block takes precedence. Vsmith's 48 h block was still 'active' and cancelled yours. As I understand it, it should have been lifted first. Femto 16:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that does appear to be the case... I think I saw the 14 March date and associated it with the 3-hour block underneath. Thanks for spotting that one. - jredmond 16:59, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Jredmond

Dear Jredmond, I am beginning the process to create a wikiproject for Missouri. in order to do so i'm required to show that there is a base of at least 5-10 people who would be interested in contributing to such a project. the project would serve to aid in the creation and editing of articles related to the U.S. State Missouri, its cities, counties, geography, transportation, culture, history, education, and so on. It aims to expand Misplaced Pages's resources on Missouri in a fair and accurate manner. Since you're stated as being a wikipedian in missouri, i wanted to see if you were interested. if you are, please add your username at Misplaced Pages:Wikiproject/List_of_proposed_projects#Missouri and User:Preschooler.at.heart/Missouri. thanks for your consideration. --preschooler.at.heart my talk - contribs 16:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

User:Bonnieisrael

Hi Jim, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't unblock this user (per the blocking policy, however, feel free to discuss further). He or she is unquestionably connected to Israelbeach, and may be the same person, and contributed significantly to a situation in which a good editor and admin was harassed with legal and other threats. SlimVirgin 15:46, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Jim, it is not acceptable for you to undo another admin's block without discussion. I see you unblocked this user before you even left a note on my talk page. See the blocking policy. SlimVirgin 15:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

The note on your talk page was in a separate tab from the unblock; clicking the submit button on one before the other was pretty much a random thing. In any case, she wrote Jimbo insisting that she's a separate person; I'm giving her a chance (per WP:AGF) to make useful contributions outside of the Israelbeach/Woggly debacle. I'm also keeping an eye on her contribs, though, and if she falls back into bad habit then I'll block her myself (if someone else doesn't beat me to it). - jredmond 16:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Jim, the blocking policy says that if you disagree with a block, you should discuss it thoroughly with the blocking admin, and that you should refrain from unblocking unless an unambiguous error has been made and the blocking admin is not online. This user and the other accounts s/he posted with caused an enormous amount of trouble. Bonnieisrael is beyond any reasonable doubt a sock or meat puppet. Even in the extremely unlikely event that s/he isn't, s/he was still highly disruptive, made almost no positive contributions to the encyclopedia, appeared to defend Israelbeach's legal threats, along with several other accounts believed to be operated by Israelbeach or friends, threatened to open an RfC on another admin who blocked Israelbeach, and almost caused the target of the legal threats (a good editor and admin) to leave. It was an absurd and very unpleasant situation. If s/he makes one more edit of that nature, or edits any of the disputed articles, I will reblock indefinitely and I've left a note on his or her talk page to that effect. SlimVirgin 16:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

It's been three weeks since you unblocked the account for Bonnieisrael. In those three weeks, she has made the following contributions to Misplaced Pages:

• voted on AfD against deletion of an article about an Israel News Agency writer
• voted on AfD against deletion of the article about the Israel News Agency
• dismissed me on her talk page
• argued for undeletion of the article on the Israel News Agency on "articles for deletion"

In the meantime, Slimvirgin and I have both quit editing Misplaced Pages due to lack of support - but situations like this still rankle. I get derision and abuse heaped on me for tagging users like BonnieIsrael with "socksuspect" tags, no other administrator steps in to intervene; sock and meat puppets continue to ], no other administrator steps in to intervene. What happened to your promise to "keep an eye on her contribs"? I've been telling myself that I should simply stop caring, but like a bad scab, I can't stop picking at it. Ultimately, it's not the POV-pushers and self-promoters who upset me, for predictably taking advantage of holes in the system - it's admins like you, who continue giving them the means to do so. --woggly 06:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Consented blocks

Good to see my block wasn't unprecidented, thanks for adding your's on. Only thing, I was noticing you blocked them indef. Would it be alright if we transfer it to being renewed annually, after consultation with the school board. Just to make sure their policy decisions don't change in the mean time. -- Zanimum 19:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Sure - the annual-review thing would probably be more effective anyway, and would have the added bonus of conforming with ArbCom blocks. I'll go ahead and reblock so that that IP can edit again in March 2007.

It might also be worthwhile to post a link to Misplaced Pages:Consented blocks from the appropriate User: pages, or maybe even to create a template and category to smooth out the process... but we can figure those things out later on. - jredmond 20:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I did for the school you blocked, didn't get around to it for the 18 IPs that my district covers. I also redirected the user page to the user_talk page, just to streamline things a bit. I agree it could be probably best to create a category/template before the list grows too big. -- Zanimum 13:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Good template! -- Zanimum 17:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for voting in my RfA!

Thanks for voting in my RfA! <blush> at those comments btw... The nom didn't gain consensus, but still happy I accepted it. Thanks again! - Amgine 20:41, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Aidan Work

I see that you have blocked the public library system in New Zealand of all places.

I think that you should know, as I put on Gadfium's page too that there is more to the Aidan blocking than meets the eye. Thank you. Kind regards. Wallie 19:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

--- I got involved with the Ian Paisley article, and these three people, especially Kiand took a very POV stance. I was just trying to improve the heavy POV in it. I am not particularly for or against Paisley, but like to see that the article is a true representation of the person. Kiand in particular was always trying to wind people up, espeically Aidan. Aidan obviously "lost it" which gave someone the excuse to ban him. Kiand is still trying to annoy him on his talk page, even though he is banned. I see that you mentioned it was Jdirl. I really think that this sort of thing is not good for Misplaced Pages, and wanted you to know. Wallie 19:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC) ---

Please re-read my note on User talk:Gadfium — I unblocked that IP address. You can also verify this with the relevant block log. - jredmond 20:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Somewhat avoids the issue... Are you going to continue to "chase" Aidan, given what I said? Wallie 06:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

How exactly does unblocking a library system's IP constitute chasing Aidan? I had not been involved with Aidan in any way prior tohandling that e-mail from the library, and I have not been involved with Aidan since unblocking the library IP. You can verify this with my contribs and with the logs if you don't believe me. - jredmond 16:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I do. Thank you very much for your answers. I wish you a pleasant day. Wallie 23:18, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Links on article Bratz

Due to Misplaced Pages's popularity on search engines, sites that were never on or contributed to Wiki were coming in looking for mere advertising. You removed all the useful links on the site that had been there from the start of this article. Due to damaging actions such as link url tampering and text description altering by ONE set of people trying to advertise for a site called "****" (check logs in History) I assume you took the action of removing everything. Not all of those were fansites. The checklist you also removed is a useful resource I linked to and found informative. I also contribute to Misplaced Pages when I have computer access. I do not think it right that you remove all links due to the action of one set of people who were only here to advertise for their personal site. I found coming here and reading and being able to read info on the linked sites here on Misplaced Pages useful and to damage a useful resource because of the vanadlism of possibly one person is wrong.
