TyrusThomas4lyf
Regarding the TyrusThomas4lyf sock-puppetry issue, it's a little early to tell but Hypebuster (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is operating over a similar selection of articles and *may* be a TyrusThomas4lyf sock-puppet. Just a heads-up. Myasuda (talk) 21:54, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Done Tagged as sock of Tyrusthomas4lyf. Now writing up a checkuser report. —BoL 21:56, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Great! Thanks for your help, and happy holidays! Myasuda (talk) 03:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Happy new year to you too! —BoL 03:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

JROTC
Hey, it might help to just place the stats on my sandbox article. Would you like to help me in getting this article together? I asked Daniel Chin to help me, but he told me he's too biased to keep a NPOV on the issue, so I'm almost SOL on the issue (which is why I haven't touched that sandbox in a while)... - Jameson L. Tai 07:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Wait, who's daniel chin? —BoL 00:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Random question
Do you have Need for Speed: ProStreet? If you do, what system? --Gp75motorsports 02:46, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- No I don't. But I have Need for Speed Underground 2. —BoL 02:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
The Tractors (album)
Thanks for helping me on this page. The reason the image was showing up was because I hadn't uploaded it yet; I usually type the image name into the infobox before I upload it, to save a step. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 02:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Dang, newpages are off the hook! There's this user who keeps removing db tags on this article! —BoL 02:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Advice
I would strongly suggest you take into account the experience level of the user you are talking to when expressing a concern over the article they have created. While the templates do a good job of explaining basic policy for new users, they are not appropriate for users who have been around for several years and will likely just inflame the situation. Communicating almost entirely in templates or following rigid procedures with experienced users is not productive and leads to needless conflicts. Thank you, henrik•talk 03:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Should I withdraw the AFD? —BoL 03:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, but a word of apology to C S might be in order - you acted hastily and failed to assume his or her good faith in this matter. A simple note explaining your concerns after the first removal of the CSD tag would probably have avoided all this. (No worries though, everybody can be caught up in actions and make mistakes - but it is important to be able to acknowledge them) henrik•talk 04:03, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- I remember the last time I was caught up, that resulted in a block... —BoL 04:03, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

More advice
I seriously urge you to drop any mention of PeeWee. On ANI, you barged into the thread without knowing anything, did no investigation of the situation whatsoever, and made completely erroneous comments, which not only make you look stupid, but can also inflame the situation and can be construed as disruptive. Let me be frank: a lot of people don't hold a very high opinion of your actions already. Continuing down this path will get you extremely close to the blockhammer. So, perhaps as a New Year's resolution, maybe you should resolve to think twice before posting anything. Happy New Year. —Kurykh 06:56, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Three times. Avruchtalk 08:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- True. And not only that, I know about that. Happy new year to you too, and can I transfer any accounts I created over? —BoL 01:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- What do you mean by transfer? As in rename the account to something else? Metros (talk) 01:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- No. This is a sock that I created to write up RFCU drafts on PWeeHurman. I feel that I should transfer the account to someone else in order to prevent any obsession about PWeeHurman, which got me worked up yesterday. Any idea how that can happen? You want it? —BoL 01:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- What do you mean give it to someone else? Why don't you just scramble the password so you can never log into it again? What good does it do for anyone here at all? Hell, what good does it do for you? Why do you even have it in the first place? You can't report him using your own account? Metros (talk) 01:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Recent nomination for deletion of Soering v. UK
I have noticed that you nominate articles for deletion on a regular basis. You recently nominated Soering v. United Kingdom, which has had quite a response. In the future, if an article is part of a wikiproject, please contact that wikiproject about your proposal, in this case: wikiproject law. Those more knowledgeable in a field can better assist you in determining if an article is notable. Because you left bare commentary on your deletion nomination, I am unable to determine what your criteria was for determining notability. Leaving more commentary assists other users, substantiates the nominator's position, and forces the nominator to investigate the article further. An alternative is to tag a stub for expansion and to notify the appropriate wikiproject. Legis Nuntius (talk) 18:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for reminding me. By the way, what was the result of the AFD? —BoL 23:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- In fairness to the nominator, this article was not tagged as being part of the project until I added it some 3 or 4 days after the nomination. It also has been expanded dramatically since its original nomination. At that time, it was little more than a stub. Still, your point is a good one - this clearly would fall within the scope of the law project, and it would have saved everyone a bit of trouble if someone familiar with the subject could have weighed in first. Still, since the nominator withdrew (thanks for that by the way) no harm done. Xymmax (talk) 21:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I withdrew. Either way it would have been closed, because it was going on for more than 5 days. —BoL 03:54, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for offering, but since I haven't been here for a while, I don't need that anymore. XtraCredit (talk) 18:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
George W. Bush
This wasn't vandalism. It may not have been the most helpful edit in the world, as incumbent is already included elsewhere in the infobox, but it certainly wasn't vandalism. - auburnpilot talk 03:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- I was going to revert my own edit, but thanks. —BoL 03:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Taunting the vandals doesn't really do anybody any good. :) Corvus cornixtalk 05:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- True. I wanted to do more, but realized I had to stop before I get blocked again. But, that's true, right? —BoL 05:19, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Questions about PWee (sorry if you want to forget about him, I've been busy and need to catch up)
Has he been blocked? Are there any new puppets? What about checkusers? What kind of vandalism is he conducting? Do you see any way to stop him outside of blocking any IP he may use? Please respond on my talk. Thanks, --Gp75motorsports 12:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
