Revision as of 02:38, 30 December 2009
Welcome to my talk page
I prefer to keep conversations in one place in order to make it easier to follow them. Therefore, if I have begun a conversation with you elsewhere, that is where I would prefer you reply and is probably where I will reply to you.
If you would rather communicate by email, it will expedite matters if you leave a note here to inform me you have sent an email.
If you want to know why I deleted or protected a page, or why I blocked a user please check My admin log first before posting a message here.
Regarding Wiki Greek Basketball's RfA
I just thought you might be interested (amused?) with the reply I got to my message (about suggesting that WGB re-considers his RfA) at User_talk:Wiki_Greek_Basketball#Your_RFA_is_closed - if it causes the smile that I think it will, consider it my Christmas present to you!
If they intend on going all the way, and if they do not get any supports at all (which is looking increasingly likely from where I'm standing) then WGB will be the first person since December 2005 to go all the way in an RfA and get no support votes at all - and only the 9th person in all time, including the 8 from 2005!
Anyway, enjoy the holidays - I'll probably pop on for a few mins here or there on most days, but nothing serious on Misplaced Pages until after the holidays - apparently, the kids and family are more important?! Have a relaxing time, as I intend doing -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:52, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- I tried to tell the kid to let it go, but he wouldn't listen. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion, it was obvious minutes after he posted it that it was going to fail, but we have to wait six more days to see just how bad it's going to get.

Nova MUA2
That's imposible. There's no way Nova Confirmed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottKazama (talk • contribs) 16:19, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

"Childcustodydivorcefamilylawyer" requesting an unblock
Yo, Beeb. :) This fellow made a rather sincere-sounding appeal on his talk page. He's requesting a user name change and the whole shebang. He claimed to be unaware of the name issue and would like a fresh start. Merry Christmas! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:59, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well, he did post external links with his username in them, which is ill advised, but we can't expect a new user to know all about our various policies, and he does seem sincere. I don't object to an unblock. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:07, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
sorry
- sorry - btw, u sound so sexy cuz what u say is smart. bye —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmedfarhat (talk • contribs) 18:53, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- Oh I'm super sexy, if you're into beer guzzling geeks in their late thirties. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:56, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, that was sexy. Ahmedfarhat (talk) 21:04, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- User has been blocked for general disruptive editing and abuse of six or seven accounts, so you will not have to worry about him.(MDesjardinss (talk) 21:19, 25 December 2009 (UTC))
Unblock notice things
I'm not sure I'd block someone's talk page access because they tried to use one of the templates that shows up in the unblock request; isn't it one of those no-harm, no-foul things? --jpgordon 23:01, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- If you could specify which block you are referring to I could give you a specific answer, I've blocked a whole bunch of serial sock accounts the last few days. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:34, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, me too. I was just noticing User talk:86.144.107.133, and I got to thinking about how to react when users request unblock and then also cut-and-paste from the admin-only part of the template. I usually just think of it as garbage and revert the admin-only stuff, but I guess an argument could be made that the user is trying to cheat or something. Perhaps I'm being too philosophical tonight. --jpgordon 06:20, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- At the time I felt they were trying to be deceptive, but I suppose it's possible they were just screwing around. Given the apparent socking I leaned in the direction of assuming the worst. What the hell, I'll knock it back down and we'll see what happens. Beeblebrox (talk) 08:07, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Tom Bruggere AfD
Thanks for the notification. I'll try to add some sources and get it up to legitimage stub status, at least! -Pete (talk) 20:37, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- I was just going to come over here to drop a line, rather than having it on the AFD. Beeb, this AFD nomination seems to border on WP:RUBBISH/WP:UGLY, and per WP:BEFORE, you should've at least done a quick google news search, which would have confirmed the subject solidly meets notability guidelines, even if the article doesn't appear to meet it on the face of things. Sorry if this sounds snippy- that isn't my intent. I feel like I can be straightforward with you because we've had a plethora of interactions here. Cheers, tedder (talk) 21:28, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I thought you owed me your undying loyalty after that last ordeal. Seriously though, I did a quick scan on Google, and it looked like most of the coverage was simply in relation to him being an "also-ran" in the senate race that he lost. My understanding was that that is usually not enough for a politician bio, since anyone that runs for anything is obviously going to get their name in the paper a few times. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:32, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- Your first comment- heh, indeed. For the google scan, I completely understand. No worries, by your nom I was guessing you hadn't checked for sources. Apologies for jumping to that conclusion. tedder (talk) 21:37, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- I think there are grey areas along these lines, but I don't think this is one of them. Bruggere's notability, I believe, derives more from his entrepreneurship than from his one Senate race. But also, a major-party nominee for a U.S. Senate seat, who came within a few percentage points of victory is a pretty rare breed, even if it was his only run. But you guys are both right -- the Google results are a bit thin, and it'll take a bit of digging to find the best sources. I'm happy to keep chipping away at those though, should have a pretty well-sourced basic bio by this afternoon. -Pete (talk) 22:07, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

69.224.224.160
I see you're having the same trouble with this IP that I am ... take a look at this edit and this edit and see this is a repeating pattern. Also, I'm wondering if this user is attempting to evade the block placed on this other IP, who made very similar types of edits prior to an extensive block being placed on it. This is definitely getting tiresome, but I have a feeling it'll be resolved soon. Thanks for your help and diligence. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 18:50, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
User You Blocked
Hi, This is for information for a problematic sockpuppet and vandal dodger Nancy has been dealing with. This user you blocked, I suspect is a sockpuppet of this, this, this and many more users that have been blocked. He seems to have a pattern of vandalising surname related articles. He thinks Bahra is a surname, and hence has vandalised here, many times. Thanks --Sikh-History 19:13, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
