Welcome

Hello. Welcome to Misplaced Pages. I created your account for you.

See our introduction to become acquainted with Misplaced Pages, and move on to the tutorial which, I think, gives some very good information about editing that all Wikipedians should read.

There are lots of ways you can help with the encyclopedia; check out Misplaced Pages:Contributing to Misplaced Pages to find out how.

If you have any questions, you can ask on my talk page, check Misplaced Pages:Questions, or leave {{helpme}} and your question on this page, and someone will be around to help shortly. Again, welcome, and happy editing! WODUP 06:25, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

More advice

I seriously urge you to drop any mention of PeeWee. On ANI, you barged into the thread without knowing anything, did no investigation of the situation whatsoever, and made completely erroneous comments, which not only make you look stupid, but can also inflame the situation and can be construed as disruptive. Let me be frank: a lot of people don't hold a very high opinion of your actions already. Continuing down this path will get you extremely close to the blockhammer. So, perhaps as a New Year's resolution, maybe you should resolve to think twice before posting anything. Happy New Year. —Kurykh 06:56, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Three times. Avruchtalk 08:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

True. And not only that, I know about that. Happy new year to you too, and can I transfer any accounts I created over? —BoL 01:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean by transfer? As in rename the account to something else? Metros (talk) 01:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

No. This is a sock that I created to write up RFCU drafts on PWeeHurman. I feel that I should transfer the account to someone else in order to prevent any obsession about PWeeHurman, which got me worked up yesterday. Any idea how that can happen? You want it? —BoL 01:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean give it to someone else? Why don't you just scramble the password so you can never log into it again? What good does it do for anyone here at all? Hell, what good does it do for you? Why do you even have it in the first place? You can't report him using your own account? Metros (talk) 01:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I never did use the account for editing. I was thinking you'd block that account. And also I don't want to violate WP:USER. —BoL 01:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Recent nomination for deletion of Soering v. UK

I have noticed that you nominate articles for deletion on a regular basis. You recently nominated Soering v. United Kingdom, which has had quite a response. In the future, if an article is part of a wikiproject, please contact that wikiproject about your proposal, in this case: wikiproject law. Those more knowledgeable in a field can better assist you in determining if an article is notable. Because you left bare commentary on your deletion nomination, I am unable to determine what your criteria was for determining notability. Leaving more commentary assists other users, substantiates the nominator's position, and forces the nominator to investigate the article further. An alternative is to tag a stub for expansion and to notify the appropriate wikiproject. Legis Nuntius (talk) 18:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me. By the way, what was the result of the AFD? —BoL 23:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

In fairness to the nominator, this article was not tagged as being part of the project until I added it some 3 or 4 days after the nomination. It also has been expanded dramatically since its original nomination. At that time, it was little more than a stub. Still, your point is a good one - this clearly would fall within the scope of the law project, and it would have saved everyone a bit of trouble if someone familiar with the subject could have weighed in first. Still, since the nominator withdrew (thanks for that by the way) no harm done. Xymmax (talk) 21:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I withdrew. Either way it would have been closed, because it was going on for more than 5 days. —BoL 03:54, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Userboxes

Thank you for offering, but since I haven't been here for a while, I don't need that anymore. XtraCredit (talk) 18:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

George W. Bush

This wasn't vandalism. It may not have been the most helpful edit in the world, as incumbent is already included elsewhere in the infobox, but it certainly wasn't vandalism. - auburnpilot talk 03:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I was going to revert my own edit, but thanks. —BoL 03:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Again, this isn't vandalism either. It is a factually accurate addition, and could be sourced with this article from USAToday.com. You really need to be more careful. - auburnpilot talk 01:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Milomolaria

Taunting the vandals doesn't really do anybody any good.  :) Corvus cornix_talk 05:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

True. I wanted to do more, but realized I had to stop before I get blocked again. But, that's true, right? —BoL 05:19, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Seriously here, I spend a lot of time on Misplaced Pages, like 2/3 of my day. I'm just an ordinary editor, like you. I try to help where I can, like you. I write articles, and improve others, when I can. I saw the "shops" thing going on, but had better things to do than get involved. You had some good advice from Kurykh just above. Please, your heart is in the right place, but you need to think a little more before wading in too deep sometimes. As for vandals, they piss us all off, but help is at hand. Just chill a little. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 05:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

You're right. —BoL 05:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Questions about PWee (sorry if you want to forget about him, I've been busy and need to catch up)

Has he been blocked? Are there any new puppets? What about checkusers? What kind of vandalism is he conducting? Do you see any way to stop him outside of blocking any IP he may use? Please respond on my talk. Thanks, --Gp75motorsports 12:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: RFA

I regretfully decline this offer. I don't really think I'm ready just yet, but I am willing to try, say, in March. I'll contact you when I would like to be nominated. Thanks for the offer, though! Jonathan § 23:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. —BoL 23:48, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey jack...

...can you create a doppleganger account called User:Jack Merridou? I'll be using that account to create a checkuser log for him and his IPs, so we can have its other IPs blocked. —BoL 23:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

He seems to have gotten there first. I'm all for hobbling this character, but I don't see how my creating a new account will help. email me and he'll not have a chance to snag whatever name gets used. Thanks. --Jack Merridew 06:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I have created User:Jack Merridew (doppelganger) and endorsed that it is me from this account. All should be clear enough from the user/talk pages and their histories. What's next? --Jack Merridew 06:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

That's not good enough. You need to think of all the names that can be impersonated and create them, and then tag them with {{doppleganger}}. If you need help, let me know. —BoL 01:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I misunderstood. I don't see it as practical to reserve all possible variations on my username. This would only amount to a challenge to whomever to come up with something I missed. I also don't care to engage in an exercise in self-deprecating naming. I was really more interested in preventing the harassment than the impersonation. --Jack Merridew 09:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

PeeWee

25 January? That's it?! He deserves to be indeffed. I hope whoever blocked him learns their lesson next time. I'd think that such a short block would only fuel his activities. --Gp75motorsports 11:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

IPs cannot be indeffed. The longest anyone can be blocked is between one year to 30 years (yes, accounts have been blocked for 30 years I've heard at AIV.) —BoL 01:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you show me? --Gp75motorsports 11:39, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Potential vandal alert

Hey, BoL I've found another potential troll. He is User:NikhtaSt and he already has three vandalism warnings on his page. That's bad considering he's only been here a little while (the abscence of a userpage signifies a new user). Let's watch this guy. I don't like the way it's looking. (loads M4 Carbine) Here's some ammo. --Gp75motorsports 18:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

(Sorry 'bout that, I copypasted this directly from Alasdair's page.)

It's OK. I'll start a page. —BoL 01:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Insulted once more

Hello that racist person may or may not be this one.insults.With no reason sources or any logic i have been extremely insulted in english,in Greek and in albanian(which i dont understand)Megistias (talk) 21:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Not the one. He did have a previous account, but not that one. --Gp75motorsports 23:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Bring that up at ANI. I think FastLizard4 might know russian. —BoL 01:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

lol we're competing again for NPP?

crap... you took my pages... :D hahahahah keep it up man! :D - Jameson L. Tai 02:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Yep, new pages box and Twinkle. Although I didn't tag any, someone else did. —BoL 02:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Marman Twin SD request

DOn't know if you read the link, but that article and the page it referenced are not spam. The Marman is a vintage motorcycle, and the reference page was an enthusiast page on the bike. I posed a hangon tag for the original editor, as I think your request was premature. Cheers. Bagheera (talk) 02:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The links weren't spam, they were just written in a way that it was blatant advertising. But, yeah, it's poorly unwritten. Cheers, —BoL 03:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

For your welcoming message. AmandaPirato (talk) 03:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. You know, I know someone that can help you fix that sig up. Would you be interested? —BoL 03:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean exactly? I thought using the four tildes was the correct way of doing it? AmandaPirato (talk) 04:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

It is. I mean the design of your sig. —BoL 04:05, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, go ahead, sounds cool to me ;) I think I can leave those Amanda's out right? AmandaPirato (talk) 04:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Take this for now: Copy the source code to your preferences:

]]/]

This is the best I could come up with. Feel free to let me know so I can refer you to another user. —BoL 04:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Uhm, thanks, but for some reason it still looks the same?? Maybe I did something wrong? Amanda/C

Wow, I messed it up. Amanda/C 04:30, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey that one looks awesome, I hope it works now. Amanda/C (talk) 04:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Wait. —BoL 04:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what to change, I appreciate your kindness and help though :) AmandaPirato (talk) 04:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. He might be able to help. Just show him the sig I made for you and he'll try to fix the problem. —BoL 04:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I will leave him a message. By the way, I love SF. AmandaPirato (talk) 05:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I live in SF. —BoL 05:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I saw that on your userpage. I guess I need to create one too some day. I was a few days in SF in 2006 and 2007. AmandaPirato (talk) 05:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm a bit busy right now. Vandals are up. Later. —BoL 05:30, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

East Los Streetscapers

Hey amigo, what's up? I was just kind of wondering what's going on with the article. It looks, from your comments on the talk of the article's creator, like your impression is that the article is self-promotional or intended to spam. May I gently remind you of the guideline to assume good faith? He only has 19 edits, so it's also important to remember not to bite the the newcomers.

What I'm wondering is why you are using "Friendly" to automatically tag the article with {{refimprove}}? Wouldn't that be something you would want to check first, rather than using a bot to haphazardly accuse editors of not adequately citing their sources? Please have another look at the article to determine whether the referencing meets your standards, now that a somewhat experienced editor has had a crack at it. And I would ask you to reconsider your use of this bot, seeing as how it can be taken offensively.

Gracias, --Rockero (talk) 06:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not a bot, homie. It's a program. And the reason why I use the {{refimprove}} tag because it doesn't seem to be enough with the notability, and i'll try to remember that next time. —BoL 06:03, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean by "it doesn't seem to be enough with the notability"? What will you try to remember? I second the editor who asked you to communicate your ideas clearly. I can't tell if you're trying to dissimulate or are just having a hard time expressing yourself. Would you care to elaborate?--Rockero (talk) 06:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Relax, I've removed the tag. It could still be expanded more, I'll do some research on it. —BoL 00:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Joe Knox

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on Joe Knox. The reason is:

being the mayor of Mooresville, North Carolina is importance enough

Hi, i'll move this down sorry i accidentally added it to the guy above

I was nowhere near done, that was just my basic which i was going to start editing and inserting references. That is why i was only writing in my talk not in actual Misplaced Pages. So why are you deleting from my talk page? Now i lost all the rough info i had just put in, and its not like the talk page is the actual wikipedia article!? So why'd you delete it? Can you put it back please so i can fix it properly until its a legitimate article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Number631 (talk • contribs) 04:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I didn't delete it, I just revert it. And please remember to sign your posts with 4 tildes Number631 (talk) 05:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC) or I won't respond next time. And not only that, it still looked like spam. Tell you what: I'll revert it, copy it to your userpage, then revert it to before. OK? OK. —BoL 04:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I know it looks like spam, i'm gonna change it i wanna add references to it and everything, i probably won't get to it tonight but i'll make it look like a good article and i'll even ask permission from one of you guys to check it before i try to add it to Misplaced Pages to make sure its good, k?

k. Do you want me to help? —BoL 05:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thx but i don't need much help now, just a quick question, does a non-english european magazine article rating products count as a valid reference? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Number631 (talk • contribs) 05:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe so. —BoL 05:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

k, thx... i'll ask if i have any further questions later on —Preceding unsigned comment added by Number631 (talk • contribs) 05:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
