ANI Thread needs attention

Could you please look at this thread? Thanks, ~ Troy (talk) 21:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

main page DYK edits

On 28 September, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cubs Win flag, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for your assistance in getting this page up and running. Be advised I have reversed the following main page edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Cubs_Win_flag&diff=241671989&oldid=241668451 --TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 02:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for your opinions re: Sarah Palin. You might possibly want to check out Talk:Sarah Palin as one of the issues I hoped was gone has re-arisen. And don't write off a White Sox - Cubs series yet! Dave Collect (talk) 20:59, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Today's Liebman sock

In view of your plans to possibly retire, a Cubs-White Sox World Series (or any Series involving the Cubs) would be agood way to go out --Davey Collect (talk) 21:15, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Note that someone is apparently seeking to either stalk me, or just annoy me. The above "user" is someone's sockpuppet, and ought to be slapped down. Thanks! Dave Collect (talk) 11:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

It's either User:Ron liebman, a banned user who keeps turning up using that schtick, or it's (ironically) someone imitating Liebman. Baseball Bugs 12:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

User:ㄏㄨㄤㄉㄧ

Bugs, I take a complaint to you now with this accusation by the above-mentioned user accusing me of being a sockpuppet of another user based solely on what he sees on my userpage → "This page intentionally left blank.", which is according to him similar to another user going by the name of Dave whom he suspects is giving him a hard time now.

Against the same user, it is noted at ANI that he is suspected of operating several sock accounts which I have now tagged as sock in response to his tagging of me being a sock.

Also, the accuser is noted for being disruptive and uncivil on several of his edits with comments to others. I wash my hands off this guy and shall leave the accuser now in your judgement. --Dave1185 (talk) 21:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

apparently not. i request an admin run an ip trace on all of the sockpuppets i accused dave of being.ㄏㄨㄤㄉㄧ (talk) 21:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Dave1185 AKA David873 AKA 122.105.149.69

all 3 are the same disruptive editor. User:David873 has been blocked already, and had exactl y the same "This page intentionally left blank." on his page.

plus if you look at the edit history of the page of User:Nefbmn, he posted the EXACT SAME sockpuppetry accusation as David873.ㄏㄨㄤㄉㄧ (talk) 21:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Please note

I am not an admin. Y'all need to take your concerns to WP:ANI. Baseball Bugs 22:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

My reaction? So far my opinions of "administrators" who take pains to point their status out is underwhelming. Give me honest folks any day who desire no titles nor pomp! And the White Sox lost today. Collect (talk) 02:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Ironically, Tampa Bay kept them honest. I suspect that the Rays are this year's team of destiny. But I've been wrong about that before. :) Regarding admins, they come in all stripes. Find a few good ones that are trustworthy and whose philosophy is similar to yours. Baseball Bugs 02:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Alas, I am such a dang straight arrow that no one seems to be willing to stand up for what is right at times. Meanwhile, take a gander at the "comments" left on my talk page if you want a laugh! At least the Cubs are alive for you! Collect (talk) 17:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Caution: Above user lacks a sense of humor. Tread on eggs. Baseball Bugs 00:17, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Danorton (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Making fun of your edits is not a personal attack. Baseball Bugs 00:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!

Welcome! AdjustShift (talk) 13:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hahahaha! That was funny! AdjustShift (talk) 13:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I welcomed you because you thanked me. You've contributed for a long time! Would you like to become an admin? AdjustShift (talk) 14:07, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

That was a long reply, but I read everything you wrote! :-) You are still quite young, so you can wait. I've read you post on WP:ANB/I and they are quite good. I believe you have the right temperament to become an admin. Someday you will become an admin. Have a nice day! :-) AdjustShift (talk) 14:31, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

According to your userpage, you are only 13 years old. So you are young! :-) AdjustShift (talk) 14:47, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

You are thirteen and a half years old! That means you are still quite young. Even young Misplaced Pages admins are 17 or 18. So you've time. You should be proud of achieving so much on Misplaced Pages so soon! :-) So you got your Misplaced Pages name from the cartoon Baseball Bugs! It's a cool name. My Misplaced Pages name "AdjustShift" comes from my Casio watch! Have a nice day! :-) AdjustShift (talk) 15:04, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, so you are older! :-) AdjustShift (talk) 15:18, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

:-) AdjustShift (talk) 15:25, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello, madman!

Saw your username and just HAD to look at your userpage. Looked. HAD to comment. :)

I'm a Bugs Bunny fan and a Misplaced Pages editor (well, copyeditor mainly), and I love stuff like this. But wait. Am I addressing you, or your sockpuppet? Or maybe your sockpuppet's sockpuppet's sockpuppet... Would it save time if I just gave up and went mad now?

Rosuav (talk) 03:12, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

All the above. And don't let me stand in your way. 0:) Baseball Bugs 03:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Diskettes? Yep. Remember them, have a pile of them, and occasionally use them. 3.5" and 5.25" but not 8". I'm young though; the oldest computer I have - which is older than me - does have a hard drive. I never used the dual-floppy models. But I learned to program in BASIC, then assembly language, in 640KB minus however much DOS was using at the time, and I think it was good education. Today I write programs on 32-bit systems with upwards of a gig of RAM, but I still think in terms of coding efficiently.

Haha. The Merrie Melodies theme just came up in my MIDI playlist. How appropriate! Rosuav (talk) 03:22, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

There's a number of computers still around that, though they'll happily use USB devices once booted, won't boot anything other than hard disk, floppy disk, or CD (and on some, not even the latter). Doing a BIOS update on those computers requires the use of a floppy. It's a VERY narrow sectional use... for the rest, I think floppies are ever so slightly useless :) Rosuav (talk) 03:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

If you ever run for adminship, I'll nominate you a trillion times over. You are more mature than most users around here (and some of them are like, decades older than you), for I have yet to find a talk page where you lose your temper in moments of being challenged. It's very hard to believe you're only 13 considering your maturity and intelligence, because let's be honest, the knowledge most kids your age have is about the current status of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's relationship. And I bet you they couldn't even locate their homeland on a map, either. --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 03:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Crackthewhip775 (talk) has given you a cookie! Cookies promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cookie, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy munching!

Spread the goodness of cookies by adding {{subst:Cookie}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Here's a cookie for not being an American idiot (which is quite rare in people under 30 nowadays). Green Day would be proud. --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 04:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you both for your support and your willingness to go along with my 13 1/2 years old joke. I'm not interested in being an admin. That's not an adventure, it's a job. :) Baseball Bugs 06:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

You mean you're not 13? --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 02:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Thirteen and a half. My user page says that, so it must be true, right? Righty-right-right? :) Baseball Bugs 02:13, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

As long as you're not some 30 year-old pretending to be a teenager.:) --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 02:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I am definitely not 30 years old. :) Baseball Bugs 02:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Recent comment on ANI

You mentioned something about letting a user go far enough so that we can really block him good. You may want to read this: WP:GIANTDICK. Its mildly entertaining and totally applicable here... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:38, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
