Hey!

Sorry for the delay, but thanks for the barnstar and the nom. Had to think about it but I'll accept your nom and we'll see what happens. – Zedla (talk) 21:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Just want to say thanks again for your support, hopefully we both learned something about going through the RFA, and btw good job on the sockpuppet case for LBHS-Cheerleader. I think you deserve this:

Misplaced Pages:List of banned users

I don't see any discussion leading to an explicit ban of LBHS Cheerleader (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). (The closest is this WP:ANI entry.) On the other hand, if a user is blocked and nobody is willing to reverse the action, he can be considered to be de facto banned. This includes the notorious vandals like "Willy on Wheels" or "Vandal with a grudge".

I also see this user as a simple vandal account of a "revert, block, ignore" variety, that doesn't have to be logged at WP:BANLIST. You can see that the above mentioned vandals aren't listed there. (And if - and I refrain on judging whether or not this is the case - it's a sockpuppet account of an already banned user, (s)he doesn't need a separate entry, either.)

So much for my opinion; you may put the user for discussion at the appropriate talk page. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Sounds fair. From another point of view, this vandal may already be gone, there's a good chance that it's the same user who made this edit seeing how I;ve not seen her vandalizing since that IP was reported to Embarq. It totally agree that there are some cases that should be reverted and then forgotten, but I also think that some cases should be taken seriously. This one seems more of just a preppy little troll who thinks it's funny to harass the Wikipedians, or maybe she thinks it's cheery and shows school spirit. Call me a ROTC nazi if you want, but I personally find it funny to get those kind of preppy troublemakers who think they can get away with anything into really big trouble. Alas, I guess maybe this one isn't quite destructive enough to place on the banned user list. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 16:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Abuse report on 167.128.156.40/167.128.156.45/167.128 range

OK, so I tried reporting these addresses to you, since I'm so pissed off at them; shower them with a bunch of polite warnings and WikiLove, but they're still vandalizing, especially the VeggieTales and Strawberry Shortcake articles. They even tried vandalizing my wiki site, too. I know you don't accept users who are only blocked once or twice, but how can we deal with these persistent vandals? Blake Gripling (talk) 00:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Aye aye sir, why didn't you say that it was a range in the first place? So I take it you own that other wiki, right? Have you tried calling them? Seeing how you own that other wiki site, you'd be more likely to get a positive response contacting them yourself if you have any experience dealing with ISPs. Do you still want me to handle this? I'd gladly contact them now that I know we're dealing with a range. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 19:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

For sure, sir; I'm pretty sure we can handle this one... The edits made to Strawberry Shortcake, VeggieTales and other articles appear to be similar and may come from either a single student, a group of students or something similar... Blake Gripling (talk) 23:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'll call them tomarrow (I'm assuming by the word "we" that you'd like me to handle the case). GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 23:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I hope this turns out well... God Bless and have a nice day... Blake Gripling (talk) 00:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, you do the same. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

69.142.202.92

Thank you for that message on my talk page about my report of abuse. I didn't know what to do about this one, and I'll know better next time. Meanwhile, the addresses seem to have been quiet. Thanks again for taking the trouble to get in touch with me about this. Macspaunday (talk) 23:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:Urgent

All I could think of is the IP addresses 167.128.156.205, 45 and 40. There are still many addresses that may come from this server, but I'm not really that sure about it... Oh, and do you know how to speak Tagalog? Blake Gripling (talk) 02:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know how to speak Tagalog seeing I only see my dad once a year. I'm sure he does, however. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 15:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think I'll be able to get in touch with the school IT today because schools here in the USA are closed on Saturdays. Too bad Spring Break is over on Monday for me. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 16:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Grand Theft Jimbo

Oh, and how about the gangs? All I could think of is this:

• The Arbcom - Jimmy's own gang
• Uncyclopedians
• The Ballas
• Grove Street Families
• The Triads
• Mmbabies
• H4xx0r Kings
• The Manta Rays
• The ID Phish

And should this take place in Jimbo's hometown? God Bless and have a nice day, homie... Blake Gripling (talk) 02:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I've got some ideas. Firstly, in the game, have it so that China had just taken over the US in the very beginning, and instead of cops, have Chinese militants. If you're wondering why, it's because the Chinese Great Firewall blocks access to Misplaced Pages. A couple more rival gangs could be The Mmbabies (not just one person in this case), The Vandals, The Destroyers, The Hacker Kings, The ID Phish, and the Manta Rays. The Mmbabies could be a whole bunch of anti-wiki Cubans who constantly are placing death threats against editors on Misplaced Pages. The Vandals could be, well, use your immagination. Do the same for the Destroyers. The Hacker Kings are people who hack peoples computers. They try hacking both Jimmy's computer and Misplaced Pages servers, which is unacceptable. The ID Phish make fraudulent websites to try and steal peoples bank account info, Myspace logins, and Misplaced Pages logins. It angers Jimmy and his gang when they send Jimmy himself a fraudulent email. Their ringleader is a 24 year old man. The Manta Rays are a bunch of cheerleaders at Lemon Bay High School, which is the rival of NJROTC's school (NJROTC is the nickname of a member of Jimbo's gang Arbcom, he got the name because he was a member of the Port Charlotte High School Pirate NJROTC Unit before the Chinese took over). THe cheerleaders enjoy vandalizing Misplaced Pages. Their ringleader is a cheerleader named Lindsay Charlotte, and their cheer uniforms are blue and gold. As far as the setting goes for the whole thing, I don't know. I do believe that GTA games tend to feature more than one location, right? I don't know because I don't own any of them, but I have seen

videos of them on You Tube. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 15:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it should have a part where the Chinese try to disable the Misplaced Pages servers and the Arbcoms have to fight them. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 16:21, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Take a look at Wikimedia Foundation and notice how Wikimedia Foundation was originally based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Although it is now based in San Francisco, California, I'm reading that Jimbo Wales was replaced by someone else for the Foundation's chair in 2006, and Wikimedia didn't move until 2007. I say it would be better to base the game in the State of Florida since Jimbo probably hadn't even dreamed of something called "the internet" or "Misplaced Pages" as a boy. If you want to make him young in the game, make it as if he were raised in St. Petersburg and he had gang buddies accross the state to help get rid of the vandals. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 16:52, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

About the Chinese stuff, I won't do that since it would be way too controversial; maybe a Triad gang would do the trick instead; San Francisco would be a nice location, but a typical GTA game takes place in a single city, although the original Grand Theft Auto game took place in three cities. OK, God Bless and see you around... Blake Gripling (talk) 00:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I hear that there's no little kids in GTA games. Excuse me if this sounds over the top, but that might change in this one. Well, okay, the idea isn't to have first graders being taken out, but more like fifth graders (the last grade of elementary school where I live). Yeah, make it so there's fifth graders who tick off Jimbo with their "test edits" to his user page (such as replacing it with "Maggie was here," but you might not want to make them look to "cute" because then people would see it as controversial. Fill an elementary school with fifth grade boys and girls from the San Fransisco slum, or something like that. Also make a gang of obsessed parents who Jimbo hates because they always ignore anything their own offspring does but create a mess when ever their offspring is the target of biting or cyberbullying on Misplaced Pages. These should be parents of kid(s) ranging between age 10 and 16. Sound good? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I've got a great idea! I could make TV commercials for the game (which would actually only be viewable on the Grand Theft Jimbo page) using The Sims 2! I would use several cheats which would allow be to compile all kinds of cool scenes and use as much custom content as possible to minimize the chances of "copyright claims." BTW, copyright claims will be highly unlikely when I perform this as planned. I do all kinds of cool things with that game, including the constuction of miltiary bases, churches, high schools, prisons, hospitals, telephone switching stations, custom built college dorms with 50+ rooms, and other things the game makers would never imagine, and I make some hilarious scenarios, I'm sure I can find some way to spice up this idea. Another thing we need to consider is cheat codes for Grand Theft Jimbo. This idea goes along with my idea for a movie about someone working for the United States Navy IT. I plan to title it "Abuse Department," but it will be a long time before I get that far, it's not really my dream to go into the movie business, but more of an idea to create one based on hopefully my future life in the Navy IT and of course a few fictional scenes as well (the whole movie would be fiction, but it would be an action movie, I'd say more, but I'd rather not have "copycats"). I actually intend to mention Misplaced Pages vandalism in that, but that most certainly will not be the main theme. Too bad it will be years before I get to that. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice! I was thinking of a mod for this, but maybe if we upload it at YouTube, that would be better since WP's somewhat strict when it comes to copyright stuff... The only thing missing is a player model of Jimbo... OK, God Bless and see ya'... Blake Gripling (talk) 02:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Even better yet, we could create a blog at http://www.myspace.com about the game. We could upload videos, pictures, a description, maybe some music... GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 04:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

You might consider getting a GTA Place account and discussing about the game there. I'm a member there, you know... Blake Gripling (talk) 11:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

admin

Let me think about that, I have some specifics in mind but in the meantime the Misplaced Pages:Admin coaching page is a pretty good summary of what to work on and of course there's the Misplaced Pages:Guide_to_requests_for_adminship#What_RfA_contributors_look_for. Cheers – Zedla (talk) 04:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I think I'm going to go for it. If I pass, that's great, if I fail, then hopefully I'll learned something. I need to try now because I'm going to be slowing down here shortly, which I'm going to guess may hurt my chances of passing if I wait, right? I'm guessing it would be like being a new user if I slowed down dramaticly and then started editing normally again. Have a great day! GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 22:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I missed that and it didn't work out, it's always a learning experience. take it in stride, be humble where you should, keep on vandal fighting, and it should work out next time. ps and yeah sure, no prob. – Zedla (talk) 01:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

24.0.21.173 vandalizing again

Hello again. You suggested a while ago that I should get in touch with you directly when 24.0.21.173 starts vandalizing again, and he's done so now. He's repeating exactly the same ones that he made in the past. Is there any chance of getting him blocked again (for the fifth or sixth time, I think). Thanks? Macspaunday (talk) 01:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

He's already been blocked. No need to waste any more time on this one... Thanks again. Macspaunday (talk) 02:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
