New help request

Please see the contributions of User:Wut Duk. Kukini 06:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

He has stopped after your last warning. I have deleted the image he/she was using to vandalize, and I will block him/her if he does it again. Mushroom (Talk) 06:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Cool. It was beginning to get out of hand. I invited him/her to join in productive editing. Kukini 07:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

That's a good thing, I hope he/she does. Mushroom (Talk) 07:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

For you...

I don't know if you already have this award, and frankly, I don't really care! - ~VNinja~ 21:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Welcome message number one

Hey, thanks for the message. I am an eternal newbie.

(I hope I didn't do anything you didn't like much!) Nbettencourt 03:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome, and I appreciate your contributions. Happy editing! Mushroom (Talk) 03:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Fred The Monkey

Mushroom, the cartoon character Fred the Monkey has been gaining a lot of notability recently (Googling it gives you 4,450,000 hits). He has recently made a cartoon in which his wikipedia article featured (http://www.fredthemonkey.com/cartoons/notablemonkey.html). SO I decided to take a look at his article, and discovered that it had been deleted by yourself. This is an outrage. Explain yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reynolds45 (talk • contribs) 07:49, March 22, 2006 (UTC)

This is my explanation:

• "Fred the Monkey" (the full sentence, not the three words) has 498 Google hits.
• The deletion of Fred the Monkey.com was voted by the community, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fred the Monkey.com.
• I deleted Fred the Monkey since it was a redirect to a deleted article (its only content was "#REDIRECT Fred the Monkey.com").

Message for User:Mushroom

I am the wife of User:Danny B., as he advised the Wikipedia Welcomer User:Wiki alf and we log in from the same office computer. We don’t contribute all that often and so it came as quite a surprise to Danny to find himself blocked by you and this message on his user page:

This user is a sock puppet of Ted Wilkes, as established by Wikipedia:Requests for CheckUser/Archive/March 2006#Ted Wilkes (talk • contribs) and related accounts,

Because you provided no explantion for your actions on his talk page, it took me some time to track it down. At the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard [1] you wrote:

"See this request for CheckUser: Ted Wilkes, Danny B. and Karl Schalike are the same person." Mushroom (Talk) 06:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I note that this statement by you was posted immediately after Danny complained on the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents [2] about vandalism by Onefortyone which you did nothing about.

However, at Wikipedia:Requests for CheckUser/Archive/March 2006 User:Sam Korn who did the checking said only:

"Ted Wilkes, Danny B. and Karl Schalike appear likely to be the same."

Your action appears to have been based on a message left on your talk page by User:Onefortyone [3], someone on probation who I see has been banned by User:Stifle from editing certain articles for a time as result of his repeated violations of his probation and someone that numerous others have complained about. (User:MrDarcy, User:Arniep, User:Lochdale, User:Func, User:DropDeadGorgias and if I looked a little further, I'm swure I would find plenty more).

Mushroom, I think it is right to assume that a Wikipedia:Administrator has the responsibility for stating facts, not making quick guesses to spin there own version of what User:Sam Korn who did the checking said. Your rush to judgment has forced me to do a lot of searching all over Wikipedia for no reason. I will unblock my husband and place copies of this message on the talk page of each member of the Arbitration Committee.

Just for the record, because my husband has an interest, I am the one who pointed him to the non-encyclopedic material being pushed by User:Onefortyone after I came across a nonsensical contradiction in on of the articles he edited. I also come from a small city with one of the highest number of writers per capita in Canada and where Wikipedia has a high profile and where I know from the local newspaper(s) and business/social associations that there are a number of Wikipedia editors. - Cynthia B. 19:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your good work in blocking this sockpuppet. Fred Bauder 23:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Both Cynthia B. and DW/JillandJack or Ted Wilkes contributed to the following articles: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10],etc. This suggests that DW alias Ted Wilkes has created many more sockpuppets, as DW did in the past. Onefortyone 23:13, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks!

Hi Mushroom! Thank you for supporting my RfA. It passed at 105/1/0, putting me in WP:100 - I'm delighted and surprised! I'm always happy to help out, so if you need anything, please drop me a line. Cheers! ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 20:53, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

	Thank you! Thank you for supporting / opposing / vandalising my RFA! The result was 71/3/0 and so I am now still a normal user / an administrator / indefinitely banned. Your constructive criticism / support / foulmouthed abuse has given me something to think about / helped me immensely / turned me into a nervous wreck. If there's any way I can help you in return, please ask someone else / suffer and die / drop me a line! --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 19:47, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Dear Mr Blanning, thank you for choosing the ACME Auto-thanker! Simply strike out the phrases that do not apply and tear off this strip at the indicated line to give all your supporters and detractors the personalised response they so richly deserve. N.B: DO NOT FORGET TO TEAR THIS BIT OFF, MORON!

User 208.11.162.***

It looks like this user is back, and once again vandalizing Super Mario Bros. television series. -- VederJuda 22:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for voting on my RfA. It passed with a consensus to promote of 45/7/1. To those of you concerned about the fact that I am a relative newcomer, I encourage you to poke me with a sharp stick if I make a mistake. Or better yet, let me know on my talk page, and I'll do my best to fix it. Makemi 04:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
