Rollback
Hi,
please don't use the Rollback tool for edits which are not vandalism; see Misplaced Pages:Administrators#Reverting and Misplaced Pages:Vandalism. Thanks, --Eloquence* 02:43, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. You have also used the Rollback tool for edits which are not vandalism here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:01, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages:Revert#Admins. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:10, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
‡ Jarlaxle 21:13, August 22, 2005 (UTC)Its intent is solely to be a timesaving shortcut for reverting mass vandalism...
That edit on my user page was a mistake, and I regret that. I was angry and wasn't thinking. But that's not the point. You reverted edits that weren't vandalism. You probably reverted a lot of other people's edits that weren't vandalism as well, but you can get away with it because you're an admin. I'm just a lowly user. If I get the strength to do more posting, I will, but this list is rather incomplete at best. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:20, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
- When you revert those "illegal"-but-good-faith edits, you compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia to prove a point. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:26, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
Inclusion of squadron web site on CAP page...
I disagree that RI-102s page should be linked just because they contributed an image. Should we link the squadron pages of everyone who wrote into the article? The link should be moved to the picture in question and removed from this page. -- NetSerfer
Adminship
Hey, Linuxbeak, I'd like to know how many edits a person should have if they are considering running for adminship. Would the person need more than 450? --WikiFan04
inuse tag on Swiss Army knife
Hi Linuxbeak, I've removed the {{inuse}} tags on Swiss Army knife since they were placed there on 28 July 2005, several days ago. According to Misplaced Pages:Edit lock, a typical length of time for such a tag to remain is 30-180 minutes.
If you want to edit the article again, feel free to re-add the tag at that time. -- pne (talk) 11:58, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Welcome back
I hope you enjoyed your little vacation. Now get back to work :)→Raul654 21:35, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Fight against injustuce
This guy placed my article Carlos Lozada up for deletion at:Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Carlos Lozada. Please check it out, I know that you will consider it an outrage. Tony the Marine 16:41, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Can you do me the favor of doing the same for Hermann Bauer at Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Hermann Bauer? -- Kaszeta 20:37, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your help. -- Kaszeta 22:50, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
Off topic forum
Glad to see you at Off topic. It's yet another invitation to vandalize internet forum article that seems to serve mainly as an extension of the forum here on Misplaced Pages. I'm learning to hate these. Joyous (talk) 23:38, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
off topic
You're hard at work fighting the trolls. Good work.
Thanks
Many thanks for what you did with the Carlos Lozada issue. Now, tell me, how was your trip? I took the liberty to centralize some of your Wiki awards while you were away. Tell everybody where you've been. Take a look at my user page and if you like what I did with my "Places I've Visited", you are more then welcome to use the same format. Take care, buddy Tony the Marine 23:47, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
WP:RFA Dispute (title added by User:Linuxbeak at 18:34, August 6, 2005 (UTC))
Yes sorry about that. My cursor just slipped. But I have to ask you why do you persist in taking my name off the list? Am I not "cool" enough to be in your little clique here even after all my hard work? I highly doubt if you have the authority to do that. You are crossing the line, my boy. (Unsigned by User:Rainbowwarrior1977 at 18:14, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
Barnstar
Holy Mother of God! I about had an anurysm laughing from that one! I'm highly honored to be the first to receive it; in a reciprocal act, I hereby award you a plenary indulgence for any WikiSins you may have, a Vandal Whacking Stick, and I appoint you a cardinal of the Misplaced Pages:Protestant Church of Misplaced Pages. Pax tecum! -- Essjay · Talk 19:35, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
Image
Hi, Image:USgenerals.jpg has a picture of two soldiers fighting each other in the MMORPG game America's Army. It's supposed to have a picture of WWII generals, and that shows up on the US Army page. I tried reverting it, and even re-uploading the old picture, but it hasn't changed. How am I supposed to change it back to the old WWII picture from the America's Army picture? A message left on my talk page would be appreciated. --WikiFan04
- Hope you won't mind Linuxbeak, but I stole this one out from under you. I wanted to try my hand at fixing an image problem, and I seem to have done it. I saved a copy of the good image from the history, deleted the existing images (mantaining the original tag information) and reuploaded the image. Problem should be solved, and I'll leave a note for WikiFan04. -- Essjay · Talk 01:52, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Looks like you already left a note, so I won't. -- Essjay · Talk 02:01, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
OK, I reverted it. But it shows up the same, so never mind. All clear! :-) --WikiFan04
Cleanup Taskforce reminder
Greetings. You are receiving this boilerplate notice because you have a task on your Cleanup Taskforce desk that has not been updated for over 30 days. If you do not wish to complete this task please assign it to another Cleanup Taskforce member who has space on their desk. If you do not wish to receive cleanup requests on your desk any more, you may remove yourself from the membership list. If you or someone else has completed the task, you can close it by adding {{cleanup taskforce closed|ARTICLE NAME HERE}} to the article's talk page and removing it from Misplaced Pages:Cleanup Taskforce. If you have a status update (e.g. you intend to work on it in the future) or need help, you can update the collaboration page (which is linked from your desk). Also feel free to reply to the person who left you this message. -- Beland 04:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Rainbowwarrior1977
I, regretably, have no authority to take action against Rainbowwarrior1977. However, I noticed that he's thoroughly disrespected you and your station, so I thought you might be a friendly outpost. I'd like you to take a look at "Oh Be-have!" on My Talk and "Why Are You a Liar?" on Rainbowwarrior's and give me your thoughts. Thanks! -Soltak 19:22, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- I left Soltak some advice, and filed an RfC. Please consider commenting here, or if you feel up to it, endorsing. Thanks for all your help with this. -- Essjay · Talk 23:49, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
RfAr?
An anon left the message "an RfAr has been lodged against you", but he blanked your talk page in the process (which I rv'd). Dan100 (Talk) 15:55, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
- There was an RfAr filed earlier today by a MARMOT sock; it had coarse language, etc. I was in the midst of filing an RfAr when it was posted, and I was edit conflicted. I brougt it up to one of the arbitrators on IRC, and it was removed. If you really want to see, its in the history. -- Essjay · Talk 02:18, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
Stub Sorting
Greetings, Linuxbeak. My Username is Banes. I am a one month wikipedian, and would be delighted to help with stub sorting. (What exactly is that, anyway?) Please let me know if you still want that help. Thanks. Banes 12:28, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi
Just wanted to say sorry for accidentally calling you a cunt on the RFA. Hope you can forgive me.
Love, Marmot
Thanks
Thanks for reverting that vandalism to my user page. I appreciate it! --Canderson7 19:43, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
Request
In regard to: "a fellow by the name of David Van Pelt would like to interview you concerning your gang days in New York. He's researching gangs from the 50's and he's got some questions to ask you. His email is david AT vanpelt DOT on DOT ca. Would you be able to send him a few lines? " I would like to do the interview, but for some reason the e-mail address is not clear. I'm Still willing if he wants the interview. Tony the Marine 20:37, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
User list
I don't know if you know this but I was looking at the User list and there are several names in red which "Linuxbeak" is used but in a negative way. Is it possible for these to get removed from the list? Thorpe 18:28, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
Editing or adding to an old RfC
Hi, Linuxbeak. I never replied to your message of thanks for voting on your request for adminship - I think I was busy with college assignments at the time - but you're welcome, anyway, and I hope you're having fun with the rollback tools!
I have a question for you. Some time ago, I was snooping at someone else's talk page (perhaps Mel's) and I saw a message from you asking him to look at an RfC filed against another user. I think it might have been someone called Marmot. I was a bit bored at the time, so I clicked on the link. I knew nothing about the dispute in question, but you had either filed the RfC or added to it.
This is my question. I think - I could be wrong - that one of the "offences" this user had committed was editing or adding to an old RfC. And I think - again I could be wrong - that that particular complaint was made by you. What is wrong with adding a comment to an old RfC page. I have been wondering about doing it myself, a few times - not with the RfC you were mentioning, but with two that I was very slightly involved in. In one case, I want to withdraw my endorsement, as I now think, after gaining more experience with Misplaced Pages, that some RfCs are filed too easily. In another case, where I supported the person against whom the RfC had been filed, I would like to add a few clarifications and comments. Both of these RfCs are a few months old. Is there a rule against editing them now? Thanks. Ann Heneghan 18:12, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
Phi Sigma Pi
I'm not removing content as a form of vandalism. I clearly stated my reasons for removing the chapter listing on the Phi Sigma Pi Talk page. The listing of collegiate chapters posted was already out of date, and I replaced it with a link to our organization's official listing of chapters, which is always up to date. After I did so, the page was twice reverted. Can you please explain why?

Possible troll
Hi, 71.134.192.100 appears to be a troll. He appears to be JesuitX of the GNAA, although this may be a joke, because he said "my name is not capitalized" in an edit on the GNAA, and kept reverting something that didn't need to be there (a company infobox). Also, all 6 of his edits were on the GNAA. Also, Depakote was participating in the reverting events. --WikiFan04

Verror templates
Hi Linuxbeak. I noticed you added a series of new Verror template to address specific cases where vandals are deliberately inserting bad data. I'm wondering if it would be more effective to rename the series to match the other test messages (e.g. test2c, etc.)? I find it's hard enough to remember the existing templates, much less all of the new ones. --Alan Au 15:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Vandal at Memory Alpha
Hi Linuxbeak. I'm an administrator at a Star Trek wiki called Memory Alpha; someone over there may have stolen your username and used it to vandalize a few pages. We've had this happen before (i.e. vandals creating accounts claiming to be Misplaced Pages users and then making disruptive edits) so if this isn't you, let me know and I'll get the account locked. Thanks! -- SmokeDetector47 03:28, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Me again... I just received a series of e-mails through the account at Memory Alpha claiming to be from you and I'm guessing there's some sort of connection to the accounts DMTsurel mentions above... I'll keep the account at MA blocked until further notice. Thanks again! -- SmokeDetector47 05:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Same story on the Dutch version of Memory Alpha. Someone is making a terrible mess of the articles. We've blocked the account there as well until further notice. --Patricia
- Also on the Star Wars Wiki (), so like as not whoever's doing this is all over the place. Dan MacQueen 22:31, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

- I have also blocked the account of this sock puppet using your name at Wookieepedia, aka Star Wars Wiki. However since you seem to have a fascination in SW, maybe you can join under a new name eventually. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:15, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- We have the same trouble with Mamory Alpha's swedish edition. I'm now asking Angela to block this user. I'm so sorry if this is troublesome for you, all these blocks from wikicities all over the world. Peter R, Memory Alpha Swedish

- Same thing with MA's german version. Fortunatly I was online, when he was, so I could prevent further vandalism. (Spocky, Administrator at MA/de)
- I can't give out IPs, but what I can do is change the password of this user so they can no longer log in to any Wikicity with that username. I checked their contributions across all Wikia site and the only ones they'd edited were Memory Alpha (German, English, Dutch, Swedish) and Star Wars. Angela. 19:49, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
Feces
Linuxbeak I need you to protect the feces page, and block user:Love Virus, who keeps vandalising the page. It's really annoying and it has to be stopped. I'm asking any administrator I can. The Fascist Chicken 12:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Did you forget to put notice in the user page! Cate 12:51, 26 August 2005 (UTC) . Oops. I didn't check the user page, normally I read only the user talk, so I see the whole list of test1..5). Sorry -- Cate 13:03, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism at Orthodoxwiki, too
Alex, I am one of the sysops at Orthodoxwiki. It appears that someone has registered an account there under the name of "Linuxbeak". The user page and user talk page redirected to yours here. After those edits, several user pages and user talk pages (mostly admins') were vandalized. I have corrected the vandalism (except for the redirects), but do not have database access (working on it, though). Thought you'd want a head's up just the same. We may be the only wiki who is praying for this particular vandal; that makes me smirk just a little. Magda 02:17, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
And at Sourceryforge
Hi, This guy has vandalized several user pages at http://sourceryforge.org/w/Main_Page by turning them into redirects to an obscene picture on the wikipedia. He has created an account under the name Linuxbeak there and turned it into a redirect to your wikipedia userpage. I can't do anything about it because i'm not an admin there and don't know how to get rid of such redirects. I'll drop the owner of that wiki, Elseware, a note so that he can revert that stuff. This wiki hasn't got anything to do with wikimedia. I suggest you go there and ask Elseware if he can help you with the IP of the offender. This is one of the most disgusting cases of vandalism i've ever seen online. (i mean the behaviour of the vandal, not the picture] Best wishes and good luck!! Eusebia 13:49, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Since you had an opinion about the cast list, you might want to add your voice to another discussion about including the opening crawl in the article.

Able Danger Protection
Just curious, why did you revert to Gorgonzilla's version and then protect? Shouldn’t you have just protected the last version? TDC 20:42, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
And when are you going to remove the protection? The version you protected is incomplete and inaccurate as a result of biased editing and urgently needs correction which you are preventing. Anonip 18:29, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Linuxbeak, Are you going to respond to this? Anonip 20:17, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for responding. Anonip 06:07, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Bureaucratship
Hi, Linuxbeak. Thank you so much for your support and kind words on my bureaucratship nomination. Unfortunately, it didn't pass, but I intend to run again soon.

P.S. Good luck on yours, when it becomes time!
- Hey Alex, how you doing? I'm really proud of you and the step that you've taken. I've been checking the voting process and let me tell you, if you don't make it this time, you will definitely make it the next time. I've noticed that of the oppose, 7 stated that it was too soon, but will support you in the future and the nuetrals seem to think the sameway. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that no matter whatever the outcome is, I'll always be in your corner. Tony the Marine 05:51, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for your vote on my RFA; I appreciate the fact that you supported me in spite of what you called a minor problem. I don't know whether voting for your RFB mostly based on your comment on my own RFA (which is on top of my mind right now although I have seen some of your work) would be appropriate, and I'm afraid I'd agree it was a tad early. However, if you let me know when you try next time, you'll have my vote. Rl 11:15, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
