Thank you so much. His behavior is going to drive me to quit if he keeps this up. Acetic' 03:38, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Blocking Istina

Hi, you recently blocked Istina. You may not be aware that after warnings were posted on the user's talk page, the user went on to make valid edits (see the Zvornik history page). I thin that we should give him/her a second chance and that s/he might have got a bit excited when he/she discovered teh edit function and that they might now be prepared to work within the rules. Unless you're aware that the IP address has been used to conduct other vandalism, could you consider unblocking him/her. I think that blocking him/her might just discourage them from becoming an active and useful wikipedian. I'm prepared to keep an eye on Istina's edits to make sure that they don't continue vandalising. Adz 04:03, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on her/him. I only noticed it because I had one of the articles on my watchlist. If s/he keeps it up I'll be sure to let you know. I'm only giving him/her the benefit of the doubt because s/he appears to have made an effort to do the right thing, but if it turns out that they continue to be a problem wikipedian then I have no hesitation in you blocking her/him again.

User:Pigsonthewing

Given that I have already taken the high road, informed an admin and even GOT SO FED UP I'VE STOPPED EDITING THE WIKI, I can't see there is any other option availible to me but to edit his user page. I'm not going to sit here and be slandered by User:Pigsonthewing. Leonig Mig 06:35, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Links to edit history

The link to your edit history which you put in whenever you sign, can be rather disconcerting when scrolling an article... Other than that, great work! --Wulf 06:08, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

Clarification:

1. The code is this long when seen while editing "<font face="Copperplate Gothic Bold" color=#1F85FF>Sasquatch</font>]]<span style="background-color:#001E6F">]]</span>"

2. The black box stands out against the rest of the page while scrolling, and can be slightly disconcerting, as one may think it is an image, and go back up on the page to look for it, only to see it is just a link your contributions... --Wulf 03:03, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for helping us deal w/ the Barbara Schwarz issue

Now if you could help us deal with the fact that the vandals have begun to slander anybody who takes an opposite point of view, like User:Tilman or Mark Gallagher. Oh, and they've also said some pretty nasty things about you, since you're the one who stopped them from re-editing the article. They're accusing people of libel and misinformation (and other fun stuff - they've dragged in David Touretzky as a punching bag), but I don't know how to go about reporting this nonsense to the admins... 206.114.20.121 19:19, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Please stop this user

This user TJive Contribs keeps blindly reverting edits not agreeing with his conservative pro-American political opinion, often cutting off whole sections on American atrocities. He even reverted back spelling mistakes and broken links without checking.

Do you realize that this anon that apparently turned your attention my way is the same one as the anon who you just blocked for a week a few days ago? Not only is he evading his block but he had been vandalizing userpages and reverting changes I made to articles irrespective of content. He is a fanatical Chinese nationalist that I knew from another forum and so has been trolling my user/talk pages and following my edits. Most of his contributions are attempting to insert pro-Chinese or anti-American (literally, as in a horrible article called "Americofascism") POV and he cusses out anyone who edits his contributions. --TJive 17:26, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

I might have a strong love for China, but I at least try to create a balanced article and acknowledge opposing views. You on the other hand, revert my edits with no mercy, and it seems like you specifically hunt down whatever I wrote, and cut everything you don't agree with. Do you have any evidence that I try to insert "anti-American" or "pro-Chinese" POV? This is Misplaced Pages, not Conservapedia, and inserting properly addressed opposing views is not a crime. You are the one inserting right-winged POV, insisting calling Cuba's government the "Castro regime", and repeatly cutting out sections you don't like .
