This user is a mutant or member of the brotherhood userboxes have dumb images man! Is there any cool pic of Magneto/Mystique/Toad/Wolverine/Apocalypse which I can add.

I added 4 funny religions(See my user page) JEdi,Sith,Britney Worship and Apocalypse's religion.I intend to add more.

Can you tell me if those images are allowed.I want to make those userboxes I added my own unique user brotherhood box on MY userpage. I guess thats allowed Batzarro 04:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I went through 100s of pics to see which were good. Good ones all have copyright probs man.Batzarro

But i guess its no big deal if i keep em on my user page. Why can't we add sith and jedi as funny religions. Did you see my user page?

I worship britney-thats funny so is lord apocalypse Batzarro 08:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Great work organizing the webcomics articles

Just wanted to say the above! -- Dragonfiend 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Userbox formatting code

I stole the format for my userboxes from your user page. Hope you don't mind - I was having a helluva time trying to stack them all vertically on the right side of the page without them going all berserk (finally abandoned using the Babel format). Thanks :) TKarrde 19:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Work on List of webcomics

Wow. I'm impressed. I knew it wasn't totally complete but I had no idea it was missing over a hundred entries. I ought to start copying some over to Comixpedia. Nifboy 04:41, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Cheers for the talk template reverts. Can't say I ever expected it to be vandalised much . . . Slac speak up! 02:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

AIV request - user dengXiaoPeng

Hi, I reported vendalism by user DengXiaoPing (or Peng - sorry I am forgetting the spelling)on the Eastern Front page twice today. I noticed on his talk page he had a warning about this page prior to my report.

You responded that this is a content dispute rather than a case of vandalism. I agree in part, but only in part. I think it began as a content dispute, but this has gone on for a couple months. User Deng posts the same edit over and over, and reverts those who delete it. I think it is worth noting that a bunch of other editors have removed his edits; it isn't just me. Users Michael Z and Ksenon have also reverted identical edits from deng several times. Deng hasn't got a clue what he is writing about, which makes it doubly difficult to reason with him. You can see the consensus of edits is against him.

I guess I don't know when a content dispute, over the same content over and over, becomes vandalism, but this guy is ruining the article. I appreciate anything you can do to either block him or explain to me how this can otherwise be sorted out. DMorpheus 19:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Friendly Hostility

Your comments are welcome regarding a change to the character bios. Bo-Lingua

Blackcurrent?! I don't think so...

Hi,

You reverted an anonymous spelling correction from "blackcurrent" to "blackcurrant". I don't know why; the 'a' spelling was correct, and reverting it to "blackcurrent" was shockingly poor form. Fourohfour 10:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• You're right. My mistake. –Abe Dashiell 10:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

User:217.23.167.59

The user in question vandalized List of billionaires (2005) at least three times after your warning to stop vandalizing March 3. User has been warned about vandalism 9 times, each time by a different user (see User talk:217.23.167.59). I think a block may be in order - the warnings aren't doing anything. -Parallel or Together? 12:10, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• It looks like the IP had gone inactive, but given the history, I decided to block for 24 hours, anyway. –Abe Dashiell 12:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I saw on the block log that you dealt with it, but next time could you let me know on my talk page? I don't exactly have your talk page on my watch list ;) In all seriousness though, thanks for dealing with the vandal, and I hope he or she won't be back in another 24 hours. Oh well. | | ⊕ ⊥ ?

Vandalism

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. I seem to be getting this a lot lately... Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 15:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I think I might know......

I think I might know......

I have an idea why I might be blocked. Seeing how I primarialy use this website from my high school, I share an IP adress with the entire school. Well, I herd through the grape vine that a freshman changed Thomas Jefferson's name within the Thomas Jefferson article to something along Thomas "Jungle Fever" Jefferson. This is probably one of many things that the students have done. More than likely, they are holding a chat within the Matoaca High School article disscussion. As much as it hurts me to say this, I think our IP address should stay blocked. Knowing the delinquits in this school, the vandalism would only persist and get worse, like some sort of virus. If you know of any way to block the IP but allow certain persons to be unaffected within the IP, I would be grateful to hear them.

Thanks Again

List of state mottos

Hello, an unknown person has done a copy/paste move in this page. Could you revert it please? Thanks.

• It looks like User:ShiningEyes beat me to it. That article is now a redirect to List of state mottos. –Abe Dashiell 19:49, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

From 70.70.185.49

Your edits to my talk page are not justified. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.70.185.49 (talk • contribs) .

• Context: There was a revert war over the talk page of this IP, and an appeal was made on WP:AIV. The user was removing warnings from the talk page, which is specifically defined as vandalism on WP:VAND. I did not believe the user's actions merited a block, but to maintain the integrity of the talk page, I felt semi-protection was necessary. –Abe Dashiell 10:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

I just went and looked at my userpage history, and noticed that it had been vandalized but you reverted it in December. Thank you for doing that; I never even noticed the vandalism. :) Sophy's Duckling 00:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism from 208.0.239.54

I'm afraid whoever this is from my school is at it again. I've written an e-mail to my sysadmin and I'm patiently awaiting a reply. I've got their contribs page bookmarked, hopefully in an effort to stem the vandalizations as quickly as possible. Other than a block, can you think of any other recourses? --^demon 17:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Abe

Hi, Abe, nice dovetailing at User talk:212.219.116.39, thanks very much! I hope we'll do such fine teamwork again some time. :-) P. S. I saw that "I" had "signed" one of the new vandal edits — very clever. The pasting of our template was a bit more sneaky than skilled, though. Bishonen | talk 18:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC).

You gave a last warning

I noticed that you gave a final warning to the user here: . They've vandalized the strip club article, as I mentioned on the same page. Just thought you'd like to know. I guess this school needs to be followed around eh? --Tyciol 20:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

That Block

Okay. While I respect your decision about keeping the block, it is probably impossible to get the network to track down those responsible. For a while, though, I thought I was the guilty vandal. Duinemerwen 21:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Isn't it possible for people to reverse the block on themselves anyways, on the Misplaced Pages Blocking Policy Page? Duinemerwen 18:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks.

I hope I'm doing this right (it's my first time). I wanted to thank you for your work. I saw that you took care of some vandalism in the 6th amendment article, and thought it might be nice to show my appreciation. Nazimkaraca

Harassment

Could you please delete everything off my WECoyote Userpage for me? I've throwed my hands up and I'm walking away. I have given up. I have had nothing but problems every since I first came to wikipedia. I will do all in my power to get others to avoid wikipedia. They don't need the hassle. --WECoyote 16:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Stealth (webcomic)

Eh, not going to raise a big stink about this, but your closing of that AfD was a bit irregular. Three comments to keep, one by a user who created the article and admitted he was biased, and one of those keep comments your own, it really would have better to let someone else close it. Unless you were pretty sure what their decision would be... --W.marsh 01:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

No, like I said, I have no intention of pressing this anywhere beyond a simple discussion with you. I just think you need to reconsider closing AfDs like that in the future. How would it have looked if I'd closed it as a delete? It just isn't a good idea for people who've participated in an AfD and have a clear bias to be closing them. -W.marsh 02:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, as far as I'm concerned you've just gained serious karma by trying to see my point of view and not being stubborn about it. I honestly hope I can be as graceful if somone comes to be with a problem over my admin behavior... it's never fun to get called out. --W.marsh 02:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Blocking me

Thanks for your apology. The IP you blocked was the Australian Parliament, so goodness knows who else you blocked. There must be a more selective way of dealing with vandalism. Adam 14:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Anon blocks

Thanks for fighting vandals and blocking trouble users, but please be aware that blocking a massively shared IP address for anything more than 3 hours is not good as it affects lots of registered users. violet/riga (t) 14:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

The real solution of course is that anonymous persons should not be allowed to edit Misplaced Pages. Adam 14:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I did, but I highly doubt that it will do any good. The editors on the abramoff page and the admins that they have on their side want their say to be the ONLY SAY. So there is little chance we will get a fair shake on this. But since they have blocked the page any interested reader will be able to see that our edits were reasonable. And the fact that the page is blocked just shows how we were bullied by the blockers.62.0.142.2 23:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

So, um, about your Misplaced Pages test on OKCupid. Does it, by design, never let anyone score higher than 75%, just in case we were feeling too secure in our wiki-skills? :) Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 07:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I must've gotten it when it was feeling mean. I went back and cheated with the answer key after the first test, and still got 75%. If I were you, I'd come up with a story about how it's a moral lesson regarding human imperfection :x I got a kick out of the test, though ;)

I noticed you had temp-blocked my school board NAT. Thanks. We've got some real losers (from the C++ class even! they're supposed to be smart people), and I for one don't contribute from school. Please go ahead and block us again as soon as someone starts vandalizing. (And if it's serious, please leave a note on my talk page, so I can ask the network people to ask the principal to chide whoever did it.) --Geoffrey 01:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Earlier article note canceled

No longer applies, as this comic's article has been deleted. Also, I am leaving Misplaced Pages. Why should I stay in a community that allows such a huge log of deletions to take place? It's not so much the deletion of the article (it only ever drew 30 hits, a sign that no one wants to bother coming here looking for webcomics), but the fact that this is going on with over a DOZEN other comic's articles, and how happy everyone seems to be over it. Congratulations, your community has lost another article writer and webcomic browser. I'm going to look at Comic Genesis or Comixpedia, now. After February 28, I will no longer come here. Apologies to Adashiel and any one else that might care. --Videowizard2006 23:14, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

deleting webcomics is not cool

I dont think its right some webcomics are being deleted from wikipedia, I use wikipedia because it has raw information, who is deleting entries???

www.hugoballz.com

And extending their AfD season could be seen as not cool, too

First, kudos for the edit summary using Newspeak. Second, I understand your issue with relisting, and although there's been some discussion of on the page since it was my prompting I though I might expand on it here a bit.

The last time I asked for a discussion to be extended it went to a clear delete, which could be seen as me angling to get this deleted as well. But really, if extendig the debate gets that result, isn't that consensus a desirable outcome no matter what our personal feelings are? Even if the currect AfD goes to no consensus, it will be a more convincing no consensus, if that makes sense. Multiple nominations make for messy cases. An example: Elf Only Inn Afd 1 Afd 2 Afd 3

In a more radical vein, if something had gone to a certain number of participants and was still a "no consensus" I'd like to see an "intermission" where the arguments to date are summarised and the floor is opened again "fresh" as it were. Just thinking aloud, really, but we've already got CSD and PROD to help clear out the easy stuff, so we should be able to have better debates on the ones left over...

From Habe

Hello Abeil. How dare you accuse me of writing that profanity.

Jew (disambiguation)

Howdy. Did you mean to remove the PROD tag from Jew (disambiguation)? It may not have been a well-formulated PROD request, but it was valid; that disambig page doesn't really disambig anything useful (see Talk:Jew#"Jew (Disambiguation)"), and I suspect it was created as a joke. I'd like to re-add the PROD tag if that's okay with you; technically I can't since it's been removed once. Thanks, android79 16:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Whoah!

So there really are some people who care about the webcomics medium here!

I was so disappointed when I first logged on... I found so much resistance from people who seemed to not only "not care" about webcomics etc, but actually seemed to be AGAINST them...

I just checked your userpage, and it did give me some hope... I was thinking of only bothering with non-webcomics articles in the future, because of the whole attitude I saw here (my first edit involved the main "webcomics" article to include self-referential ones - at least Checkerboard Nightmare remained there, it's really an important comic even today, regardless of the fact that Straub updates it only "when there's something to say").

I just joined today, but I thought highly of wikipedia long before I did, and was disappointed with the community soon after I joined... At least now I know it's not everyone...

Still, I think I will be editing non-webcomics articles here from now on (there's always comixpedia), i just wanted to say thanks for "restoring my faith in mankind" for the day. BunnyDee 14:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what you're talking about, but as this IP is coming up as mine, I can say very clearly that I've never posted or edited on Misplaced Pages EVER, prior to this response. I find it very offensive to be looking up information and to suddenly be greeted with some kind of silly threat like this. And in fact this computer has not even been in operation for months. If you're going to be some assholish watchdog, be clear about who you're accusing. And for the record I don't have a wiki account because I don't post/edit/anything other than read articles.

Notion for the Sope Girls

Good evening Adashiel. You have marked the SopeGirls section, pointing out something I had never realized before. When I made the SopeGirls section, It was mainly because they have quite a fan listing for their site, and have hit several high ranks on webcomic listing sights. It accrued to me, that those who view the comics, or those who hear about the sope girls, may know nothing of the group at all, or how they got started. It would be very easy to say "Just Misplaced Pages sopegirls, you will find all the information you need." I am trying to keep the article with as much redolence to other articles on Misplaced Pages, keeping with the Misplaced Pages spirit and style. What is it about the article that needs to be added to keep it on Misplaced Pages? What do we need to make it? I checked all the articles you sent me, and quickly saw on the Web section, that the group is not "big time" But they are quickly grow in all skill, talent, and popularity.

Please let me know what I can do to keep this article up.
