Welcome to my talk page!
Hello and thanks for visiting! Feel free to leave a message. I am an administrator here on Wikipedia, which means that I have few extra buttons to push if I need to. It also means that if you need help with something, I can probably provide assistance; so please ask! Please remember... I will reply to comments on your talk page unless you request otherwise. Be polite. It makes the world a better place. Assume good faith. I am human and I do make mistakes. If I have made one, please tell me. Sign your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~). This lets me see who you are with having to look at the page history. Also, if you are leaving a message about one of your edits that I have reverted or modified, please provide a diff or at least mention the page's name so I can find the edit you are talking about.

Kosovo

Surely it's POV to call Kosovo a country on wikipedia when the UN does not recognize it as such? 41.245.142.230 (talk) 15:45, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Larry LaRocco

I noticed that you stepped into the edit war currently occurring on the Larry LaRocco page and was wondering if you could provide some guidance to a new editor trying to stop the ongoing revisions to this page from an anon user who is intent on posting inflammatory material on a BLP page for a current political candidate. I am not the most conversant in parsing the syntax of wikipedia and have simply been undoing this users edits every chance I get. As you have also attempted to revert the page I assume you have some means to guide me in preventing further abuse by this editor. Sixdegrees2008 (talk) 21:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

2008 Summer Olympics medal table

Hi, I know the reverts you've been making at the above page are probably the right thing to do but perhaps explaining the changes to Jamyfox would have been more constructive than vandal templates? The user did after all think that they were making constructive edits. Also since they weren't actual vandalism you came quite close to a 3RR violation yourself.

Yay! [hugs] FangedFaerie (Talk | Edits) 01:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Thought I'd show you my first noms for deletion, and I had to fight with the templates and criteria a bit. I feel kinda bad about it, actually. I spent a couple days trying to find info to bulk them up and make them into better articles, but it's just not there. Regards. FangedFaerie (Talk | Edits) 06:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

While I'm having firsts, thought I'd show off my work on this one. :) Regards. FangedFaerie (Talk | Edits) 03:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm at loose ends here. I believe User:Tautologist means well, but s/he's pushing really hard for the (alleged) connection between Sarah Palin and Thomas Muthee. I'm all for making the latter's page more interesting and in-depth about its main subject. I've tried to tone down some of his edits and give some logical info for him to chew on, but he's drowning the Palin talk pages and the Wasilla Assembly of God's talk pages (main page currently in total lockdown) in stuff about witch-hunting. When the editors elsewhere make him leave, he dumps some of it on Muthee's actual page. I don't think he needs to be banned, but I'm not sure what to do from here. Regards. FangedFaerie (Talk | Edits) 03:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Blocked for 3RR violation

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 hour in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I know that the other editor's actions could be seen as vandalism, but it was sufficiently arguable that it would have been better to report him to WP:AN/3RR instead of edit warring. Remember, there are lots of other folks who can revert persistent edit warriors too. Consider this a short shock from the proverbial electric fence. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

      Note: A log of this block has been made on Talk:Barack_Obama/Article_probation#Log_of_sanctions. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:47, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Josiah - are you familiar with this editor's long history of prolific, on-target vandal-fighting? I guess one hour isn't a "big deal" but I'm concerned that it puts a blemish on his record that is perhaps a bit harsh. I realize the Obama article is high-profile, but it looks like Thingg has gotten caught up as unfortunate collateral damage. Perhaps a warning would have sufficed? We most often give vandals 3-4 warnings, after all.  Frank  |  talk  12:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I make it a general rule when blocking for 3RR to block all participants who have violated the rule, although I don't always block all of them for the same duration. (The vandal got three hours, which to my mind signals that he was at least three times as much at fault.) I know that it's easy to get carried away when fighting a persistent vandal, but sometimes even a good contributor needs a small reminder. Since Barack Obama is a high-profile article and on article probation, it's got far more eyes on it than the average article and there's all the more reason to let someone else do that fourth revert.

I don't consider a one-hour block a significant blemish — I know lots of folks who've become admins with more and longer blocks! That said, I am human and do make mistakes, and it's true that I wasn't aware of Thingg's vandal-fighting history. I'll look more closely next time I'm blocking for 3RR. Maybe a fifteen-minute block would have been better. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 12:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. My main reason for concern is that this is a user who has made great vandal-fighting contributions and recently was unsuccessful at RfA, so there seems to be an interest in being able to do even more for the project at a later date, and a block might make that date even later.  Frank  |  talk  14:28, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I've been trying to decide whether to comment here or not, as I don't want to pile on and I know the block has expired already. But I just want to confirm that someone else thinks Frank is right; this block doesn't seem terribly rational. Josiah, your comments above indicate you at least knew this was a grey area before you blocked; if so, wouldn't the prudent approach, the respectful approach, have been to send Thingg an orange bar, rather than block him from editing? Whether it was a 15 minute block or an hour block, the thing I have trouble with is that for a good faith editor, a message would stop it as easily as a block would. There has to be a little consideration for individual circumstance here; Thingg was reverting an account, with a 99% chance of being a sleeper of a previously blocked editor, who's only purpose was to get autoconfirmed and to edit war on the page.

That said, I'm not calling for Josiah's head on a platter, and I agree, Thingg, that at most this will force you to write an extra paragraph at your next RFA explaining the situation; it shouldn't do any long term harm.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm reblocking your edit war opponent indefinitely as a blatant POV-SPA-sock-etc. nogoodnik. --barneca (talk) 16:35, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

*sigh* well, I was just trying to help out with the article. I figured I would be safe because of the FAQ #2 on the talk page and the fact he was being most unreasonable. I guess not. :( Thingg^⊕⊗ 22:04, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, upon reflection I think this block was a bad move on my part. I should have just given a warning. Every referee sometimes makes a bad call, and this was one of mine. I'm sorry, and I'm going to investigate whether there's a way to remove the block from your record. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 02:37, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I think the 1-second block with the explanatory note and link, coming directly from you as the blocking admin, are perfect. While I personally had already considered this a "done deal", I now think it's the best possible result. This stuff happens, and it's been cleaned up, and that's the way the world should work.  Frank  |  talk  00:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bachna Ae Haseeno.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bachna Ae Haseeno.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Adminshipp Round 2

so apparently we've in an adminship crisis ... only 7 promotions last month! have you considered making another go? I'd be happy to nom you again and there's also an open offer for nomination statements from a 'crat so he could possibly co-nom. whaddya thinkk? –xeno (talk) 12:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

It's still just as much of a fire pit as it was the last time around... hopefully that 3rr thing won't be a problem because the admin rescinded it with the comment, you'll just need to make a statement in your opening as to the particulars. you had a decent amount of support the last time around, the CSD thing seemed to have been what really set things on the downward spiral. lemme write up the nom sometime this weekend and then you can decide if you wanna make another go at it. –xeno (talk) 14:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I could probably be convinced to co-nom, and I could focus on that block thing since I said something about it at the time. Let me know, U2.  Frank  |  talk  14:52, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I asked Dweller if he wanted to write something based on his recent post to WT:RFA, but he said he's been busy, so I'm not sure if he'll have time- so go ahead and have at it if Thingg's ok with that. though, I already touched upon the B.O. block thing. –xeno (talk) 15:13, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

(←) So now you decided to run an RfA. :) You'll do just fine, Thingg. Good luck! -- RyRy (talk) 21:10, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to drop you a line and say good luck - I supported you last time, and I categorically support you this time. You are more than ready in my humble opinion. I hope the RfA doesn't veer off it's very positive, and very accurate, course. Cheers dude! Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 23:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Although, now that we have crossed paths, I am wondering why sometimes you warn vandals with huggle and others you dont? Just curious. --Kukini ^{háblame aquí} 04:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I tend to prefer warnings to be given, as it creates a clear record of efforts to try to encourage editors to do something constructive on wikipedia. If they won't, then they might be in need of a little "cooling time" via a temporary block. Kukini ^{háblame aquí} 05:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Reversed edits on Paint.Net

I have to disagree; the Paint.Net web site does not claim it is open source, and the license makes no claims about *what* is available. It also does not claim the software is available.

The source code is not available on their web site, and a request for the source code resulted in the response shown on the 'talk' page of the Paint.Net entry.

Is there anything else that I should do to verify that it is NOT open source any more?

Why did you revert the edit that I made, along with removing most of the external links in the article, Contra Series? They were not spam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.218.43 (talk) 22:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I however see no reason how informative external links violate the policy. Also, was this policy applied very recently? Because those links have been there for months, now.

Please take a look on this guys edits. Most of them are unsourced changes in the articles concerning the history of Poland. He errases the data that some parts of this country was also part of it before the WWII and leaves some unsourced data that usually says "in the opinion of the polish historians" "as the polish historians name it" and so on. Please look what had he done with the article about the episcopal duchy of Warmia, which used to look | that way (it was smaller but the data was not POVish and was sourced).

Congrats! Of course, you realise that new admins are obligated to buy free drinks for those who supported them! :-) Ecoleetage (talk) 04:34, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

• Congrats on the somewhat successful RFA. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 04:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Thingg, Enjoy and keep the trust and confidence of the community. Congrats and best wishes. Thanks for the note too -- Tinu Cherian - 06:24, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Congrats, Thingg. :) Feel free to ask me if you ever need any help or backup. GlassCobra 09:22, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

• -hugs- Please accept Icy's congratulations :). The community trusts you with that WP:MOP, and I've no doubt you'll do well with it. IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 18:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

No problem

I figured you'd be pleasantly surprised - a unanimous WP:100 hitter in this day in age is rare, and shows that the community truly does have great confidence in you. Nobody rakes up 111 supporters with absolutely no opposition without being worthy of it. I know you'll be a great administrator. :) Valtoras (talk) 01:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations

Keep doing the work you've been doing...Modernist (talk) 10:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:RfA

Your welcome. You'll make a great admin. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 13:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

good work, and hello!

I was on FlyingToaster's page, and saw your thanks, so I checked your page out(He adopted me, so I check his pages a lot). So you like video games too, huh? cool. leave a reply on my page, I'd like to get to know you better. Do you like Garry's mod? cause I do. come to my talk to converse. congrads, dude! —Preceding unsigned comment added by MidKnightHunter (talk • contribs) 17:55, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

it's completely understandable. I had to get a new graphics card myself! ain't that a coincidence! what does your computer take? PCI, PCI-e, ADR, etc.? Mine's a PCI, so I got the Best one for it, a geforce 6200 G. card. every thing above that is PCI-e, dammit. at least when you play a console game, you know that it's gonna work, right? I'm also gonna get LBP for the PS3, although I hear the storyline is super short, and most of it is user generated. also, I don't play on-line, except for late at night, sometimes, on the weekends.

sorry, can't use email on cousin's computer. have to wait a while to get my own. MidKnightHunter (talk) 19:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Anahí (disambiguation)

Thanks for the quick response. The Deletetion A7 tag was for the unsourced info that had been added to the disamb page by someone who appears to have thought that it was an article. There looked like there might be enough info to create a page if a source could be found, but I don't know anything about the subject and didn't want to create a page that would then be deleted, and also didn't want to remove some info that could be moved and expanded.Tobyc75 (talk) 22:04, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey, are you on? don't think toaster is, so are you free? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MidKnightHunter (talk • contribs) 00:39, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

sorry, bra. don't use other people's email, and my cousin is being leniant letting me use this one. MidKnightHunter (talk) 00:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

gotta go off. cousin's being a jackass again. MidKnightHunter (talk) 00:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't Call Me a Vandal

How is that vandalism? Lowe is the same sound as Low or are you just one of those deaf persons that can only see words and not hear them? Sorry if that's the case but I don't like being called a vandal. Faethon Ghost (talk) 02:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

How can I post an image for the dancer, "Blake McGrath"? I already have the picture, I just don't know how to format the page to show the image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdemers-cc (talk • contribs) 03:27, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Natalie Glebova

Dear Thingg, Recently, there was a surge of unproved information posted on == Natalie Glebova == page. I reverted to the original text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.119.78 (talk) 03:44, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Moose Factory, Ontario

"Moose Factory is also home to NHL star Max Krakowski. Max "The Golden Moose" Krakowski holds the single game record for total goals, with 17. He did this on September 11, 2001 and no one cared. The opposing goaltender Roman Turek said after the match, "I shit myself after the first slap shot hit my blocker. I was just lucky to make it out of there alive." Backup goalie Chico Resch wasn't so lucky. He died at 15:17 into the third period from a puck to the face."

Can't you see this is obviously fiction and you're reverting my last attempt to remove it?

Sorry to bother you, but is this an acceptable use of the UNDO button? Master&Expert (Talk) 04:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
