User:Vitriouxc

This user that you blocked has been using IP addresses to continue voting at RFA's. He has also made borderline personal attacks against you at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Randall Brackett. If you could check of this. — The King of Kings 07:57 July 09 '06

Bots

The automatic vandalism bots seem to be a funny invention but could you please stop yours and visit the talk page of Muslim Bulgarians / Bulgarian Muslims?

Date linking

Whoops, my bad; I must have missed that. I thought only month/day/year dates should be linked. Looks like I'll have to revise my editing methodology. ==ILike2BeAnonymous 18:00, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In need of a rouge admin

Would you have any interest in restoring the deleted edits from either User talk:Wsiegmund or North Saskatchewan River? Just for your own personal viewership?—[?????] 13:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's very interesting, thanks for letting me know. I'm not really sure why MONGO is going around removing innocuous edits he made while logged out. --Cyde↔Weys 14:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My personal view is to avoid people backtracking his ip to harass him outside of wiki. Syrthiss 14:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page.
Misza 13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

Subpages of my talkpage

Please return User talk:Ssbohio/B & User talk:Ssbohio/BB to their condition before being deleted & moved. I hadn't finished my work on B, and BB doesn't belong in its place. Since this entirely concerns my talk page, please direct further discussion there. Thanks. --Ssbohio 00:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies if I was unclear, but I'm asking you to undo both your move and your deletion of subpages of my talk page. You've undone the move, which I appreciate, but I'd really like the pages back the way I had them before your work on them. Also, I'd ask you to be careful with edit summaries. The move wasn't made because I wanted a different name for the page, but because I wanted you to revert your actions taken with regard to both affected pages. Thanks again. --Ssbohio 01:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I'm done here. I don't like your attitude at all. You ask me to fix one of your pages while simultaneously writing something negative about me on that page? What is wrong with you? --Cyde↔Weys 02:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing. You delete one of the subpages of my talkpage for no reason that I can determine, fial to explain yourself when questioned about it, and fail to revert your deletion when asked to. Yet, perversely, the problem is my attitude? You're the one with the administrator's tools that you're using to make deletions not supported by deletion policy on pages that relate to a controversy in which you are involved. I didn't come into your userpages and start deleting things. You came into mine. Of the two of us, the onus is on you, both by virtue of your position in this community & by virtue of you being the one who made the deletion. I shouldn't have to curry your favor to get you to restore these pages to the condition they were in before you intervened. I'm not asking you for a favor, Cyde. --Ssbohio 02:31, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'll tell you what's amazing, that you act like a jerk and then think I owe it to you to help you out. --Cyde↔Weys 03:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see the misunderstanding. I don't expect you to help me out. I only expect you to undo what you've done. I'm here doing what I'm supposed to do when an administrator takes an action. I'm addressing it with that administrator. I don't think ill of you for taking the original action. I've seen enough of your work here to know that you're motivated by good intentions. That doesn't mean that the deletion you made should stay deleted. You may think I'm acting like a jerk, but all I want is a return to the status quo ante, not any favor or extraordinary treatment. --Ssbohio 03:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still hoping we can resolve this. --Ssbohio 02:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A one-on-one resolution is becoming less likely as the silence passes. I'm sorry we apparently couldn't. --Ssbohio 03:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User Pahonia

Hi! Can you please explain the reason for deletion of the template in subj? Thanks --Czalex File:Belarus Coat of Arms, 1991.png 22:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:GUS for more information. --Cyde↔Weys 02:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GUS Fun

This is where I'm going to post all of the boxes I've eliminated transclusions for. Some still have links, but I'm not going to screw with those (do you think I should?). Thanks Cyde. αChimp ^laudare 02:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC) [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:User_humanism[reply]

Nasdijj - what's going on?

Hiya, don't really understand what's happening on the Nasdijj article - is a bot malfunctioning or something? Can't see any instructions from Jimbo Wales. Vizjim 09:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The anonymous IP that blanked the page and placed the {{sprotect}} notice was actually Jimbo Wales, he was just in a remote location on a flaky satellite connection with some proxy issues that wouldn't let him log in. --Cyde↔Weys 12:33, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, I've restated the question on the article's talk page (and Jimbo's talk page): still not sure what's wrong with that well-sourced and scrupulously fair article! Vizjim 13:07, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cyde, how do you know? Rich Farmbrough 21:58 28 July 2006 (GMT).

What, how do I know it was Jimbo? He told me off-wiki. --Cyde↔Weys 23:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've asked for confirmation from Jimbo (or Danny). Meanwhile I've left the history deleted and unprotected the article, since there are no issues with IP users. If confirmation of the problem isn't forthcoming soon, I'll undelete the history, as it can easily be deleted again if required. Rich Farmbrough 22:25 29 July 2006 (GMT).

Incidentally Jimbo was logged on this morning, and yesterday morning. Rich Farmbrough 22:26 29 July 2006 (GMT).

SO basically you're not taking Cyde's word for it when he told you Jimbo asked him to do it and he's convinced it was Jimbo. That's just not a good approach in my view. Admins should hang together, should trust each other, man... I think you should leave it the way it was. ++Lar: t/c 00:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More than just "convinced" ... Jimbo came into the private administrators' channel on IRC with his cloak and everything and told us he was editing from a remote location and it wasn't letting him stay logged in long enough to edit. He explicitly asked us to watch over the page and semi-protect it. Deleting the history was my own idea because someone had just pasted back the old revision over Jimbo and I. But he most definitely wanted it sprotected. --Cyde↔Weys 00:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly restore deleted sections

Dear Cyde, deleted log shows your name:

22:09, 26 July 2006 Cyde (Talk | contribs) deleted "Binaca Geetmala 1979" (I have no idea what this is but it doesn't appear to be encyclopedic.)

As noted by you, it may not appear encyclopedic, but nonetheless, it provides an excellent benchmark of top songs of Indian Hindi Cinema. Please restore the deleted sections of Binaca Geetmala listings, since it is an excellent resource for music fans interested in Hindi Music and Binaca Geetmala, which has consistently played in our homes during our childhood and lists the top songs of that particular year. Kindly restore the sections ASAP. Thanks, EyeMD 17:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, nothing more and nothing less. If you actually think this content is encyclopedic and can justify it, then bring it to Wikipedia:Deletion review, otherwise, just let it go. --Cyde↔Weys 17:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cyde: Millions of Indians have enjoyed the Binaca Geetmala, (which is akin to Billboard top listings) since its inception. The listings are the only way I could reach back in time to savour the very songs which have driven my childhood. These listings are, in fact, encyclopedic in nature. They deserve their rightful place. I have put up the article for undeletion at your suggested page too. If you want proof of Binaca Geetmala, here is the excerpt from http://www.ameensayani.com/reviews/review_1.htm :

Binaca Geetmala, for that is how it began, was so popular it ran for 39 years on Radio Ceylon after it was started in 1952. "In fact, during its peak from the '50s through the '70s, listenership was estimated to be anywhere from 9-20 crores," says Mr Sayani. "Nobody bought radio sets that did not receive Radio Ceylon! I received feedback from all over Asia and even the east coast of Africa." Geetmala subsequently shifted to AIR's Vividh Bharati station. EyeMD 17:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to butt in on your chat. Eye, your best bet is not going to be to try to convince Cyde. You really need to go through the deletion review process and try to convince wikipedians there. You can't just argue your way to undeletion. αChimp ^laudare 17:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is Template:User Gambler a T1 violation?

It seems to me like it just describes a hobby, and I don't know how it could be divisive or inflammatory. If possible, I'd like to see the code so I can Germanize it. Sir Crazyswordsman 03:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Sir Crazyswordsman 03:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain this to me???

Why have religious userboxes been deleted? I'd like a clear explanation. I sense some hostility towards religious people by the Wikipedia staff. --Rambone (Talk) 04:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check out WP:GUS. They are getting moved to userspace and then deleted. The consensus was that they were not appropriate for an encyclopedia. αChimp ^laudare 04:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

T1 deletes

Hi. WP:GUS is new to me but at first read I see that the userboxes are to be transferred not outright deleted! Could you please supply me with the code for these boxes please: Template:User Alternattiva Demokratika and Template:User Partit Nazzjonalista. My humble suggestion is that you create a user subpage and throw in all the templates you delete -- users can then, on own initiative, copy the userbox to their own /Userboxes/ directory and delete it from your subpage; and you may also make a sort of automatic removal after say 1 or 2 months. Thanks. _└ ^VodkaJazz / _talk ^┐ 13:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Antivandalbot wrongfully waned me

Antivandalbot warned me for reversing rightful vandalism by Simple Thomas. Could you please remove the warning tag?--Gdo01 17:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it's a wrongful warning you can just remove it yourself. --Cyde↔Weys 17:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm an astroturfer?

Reguarding Wikipedia:Categories_for_Deletion#Category:Gangster_Wikipedians, I found your closing statement to be totally out of line. It's a blatant personal attack on myself and other users, and you closed the vote barely a day after it opened. There wasn't really consensus in the vote; Mareino had made an excellent point that I'd wanted to expand on and suggest a solution. Instead, you closed the vote and made a sweeping accusation about everybody who had voted to keep. I'm assuming good faith here, and it's not a big deal if the category is deleted, but I'm a little worried about the repercussions in other CfDs because of this, and the close (to me) seemed premature. syphonbyte _(t|c) 01:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Gangster Wikipedians"? Get serious. We're writing an encyclopedia here, we don't have time for infantile nonsense. --Cyde↔Weys 01:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would it kill you to not revert pages and then protect them unless it is actual vandalism? The section on wikiality or the Idaho's Portugal thing isn't really vandalism. Do it all you want with the three times more on the elephant pages. Kotepho 04:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
