No Legal Threats

I suggest you have a read of Wikipedia:No legal threats. Your user page may upset some people, and pre-emptive comments like those could be construed as a breach of Wikipedia:Assume good faith. Mr Stephen 14:53, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Funny...it doesn't appear to be on record with the U.S. Copyright Office. Is it registered somewhere else?

I'm not from the U.S, so why should I register it in the U.S? --- TheChrisD, Halo2Leagues.com Head Organiser 12:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I asked if it was registered elsewhere. My other point still stands. --Onorem 12:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sheesh, they made this site TOO strict!

Stay Civil

It seems to me that you are acting in an uncivil manner. Please remain civil and don't resort to making personal attacks or instigating edit wars. Doctoring of your talk page is not going to help. -WarthogDemon 17:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the warning of 66.172.163.2

66.172.163.2 has been warned, Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism is where I am going next. I have deleted your(and mine)warnings as they were unimportant. Your understanding is sought after here. 121.7.24.251 14:58, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update! Blocked :P! 121.7.24.251 15:00, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good work

Hi, I've seen you all over today reverting vandalism - good work! You've beaten me a few times. Just a word aside though, have you seen this? Before someone else picks up on it. ;) Keep it up. :) Bubba hotep 15:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chris

Thanks for the contact. I live in Newbridge but I post from the office in Dublin (therefore the anonymity). I work in tech support, so between calls I manage to do a bit of patrolling.

I've tried working on articles but I'm unable to maintain my concentration long enough, due to incoming calls, to be able to produce anything worthwhile.

I've noticed quite a few Irish contributors, and its good to meet another. Regards LittleOldMe 11:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Damn You! But keep up the good work!

You've preempted 50% of my vandal removals today! You certainly are on the ball today. Just for the hell of it, I am making a collection of vandal IPs on my user page, feel free to contribute if you like. ;) The3stars 12:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

71.93.179.58

Yeah - this one was a bit persistent! Looks like the admins have (finally) got round to blocking however. Cheers •CHILLDOUBT• 12:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't I delete my own page?

Like the title says, why can't I delete my own page? I don't want a page anymore. I just will edit if I see anything wrong. I don't see a problem with that, but you do, which I don't understand. Bcody 22:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have to request deletion of you page from the Administrators. Follow the Deletion Policy to get your pages deleted. -- TheChrisD™ 10:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is why I've decided to leave Wikipedia. It's really ridiculous how I have to get permission to delete my own user page. And when I do, I get a warning that says I will be blocked. Wikipedia is just ridiculous now, and I'm done with it. Bcody 21:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Quick Work

Thank you! You beat me at reverting the vandalism on the page, but I came through at the end :) --Nevhood 19:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalization counter

Yup, I'm up to 5 by now. It's my last userbox for easy access when I need to update it. --WillMak050389 19:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians by alma mater

I've added you to the wikipedians by alma mater list, hope thats ok. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedians_by_alma_mater#Dublin_City_University

PS if you're good at languages like german or spanish could you write a stub article for Dublin City University in either of those versions of wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.231.61.65 (talk • contribs) 12:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK..., even though I haven't got a clue what an alma mater is..., thanks.....
And I'm not good at either of those languages, sorry. -- TheChrisD ™ 14:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

process color

I am suggesting that process color be merged into CMYK color model. Since you apparently wrote most of the process color article, you might have some opinion on the matter. It seems to me that the two terms are essentially synonyms. As both articles contain some rather vague and misleading statements, I think merging them could be an improvement. Feel free to discuss here. --jacobolus (t) 14:57, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

heh. whoops, I only saw a big chunk of vandalism (content that had been removed in 3-4 vandalism steps) that you'd reverted. nevermind then. :) --08:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Dunboyne

Thanks for removing the vandalism on Dunboyne. It really pisses me off when people vandalise one of the pages I take a great deal of interest in, and work hard to improve it. -- TheChrisD ™ 11:51, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Sorry to say; “Welcome to Wikipedia”!. • ShoesssS ^Talk

Sorry to say? -- TheChrisD ™ 15:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, I meant the vandalism. • ShoesssS ^Talk

Why didn't you approve of me?

I added you to my MSNM, you didn't respond for some reason... Siúnrá 10:13, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Britain's Got Talent - Phil Blackmore

When The Deans of Magic didn't get to finish their routine tonight, Ant & Dec said after that they were the first act to get three buzzes before finishing, so I'm just assuming that Phil Blackmore got his last buzz after he finished. Simon171717 21:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

What?

What is wrong with my article? What do you have against me? Motof an 15:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What vandalism are you talking about?Motof an 16:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Motofan page

I know you are keeping an eye on him but you are going to have to give a man with strong beliefs just a little le-way. the list isn't needed but what you said about it could have been added over time. I don't think that what it was deleted for is the real reason. Chubbennaitor 16:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I know but if he gets blocked the WPF1 newsletter will fall to pieces. I need him for that and I fully understand why he does some of those things and I'm sorry but sometimes people are just too pedantic over unsourced information. Which is going out soon so I can't talk much. Tell me what the vandalism is and show me and I can either back or argue with you. Chubbennaitor 16:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have you even asked why he has done those things? Vandals are never seemed to be aloud to explain themselves sometimes. Chubbennaitor 17:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand is anger. I had anger like that before when people aimed 'vandalisers' rather than improving the Wikipedia. Chubbennaitor 18:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know (no offense) but those are the sort of editors I don't like too much. What is the aim at WP: to improve the encyclopedia. I know ou are needed but come on give room for error and don't jump in there and block them which I've experienced a few editors I know have had that happened to them. They need to be congratulated for editing not discouraged with reverting. Sorry for offense. Chubbennaitor 19:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Motofan

Hey! You shouldn't critisize motofan! He is a great f1 commentator an I know him personally. We go to the same high school! Flyhead (talk) 17:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

im clearly not new to 'pedia, but that guy was ****ing me off so i told him so. User:SE7 14:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know you're not new to Wikipedia, but I wasn't going to add a level 2 warning template to your user page, just in case. Either way, please try and remain civil, and don't let them all get to you. TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 15:48, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet of Flyhead

I'm just a new user, not a sockpuppet of Flyhead!!!Motorhead12 (talk) 07:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but there are a few things you're doing that is making me suspicious:

The way you're blatantly denying it, exaggerating it as a guilty person would.
Editing your user page to not only remove the template, but to attempt to attack me.
When you created the List of safety car affected Formula One races, it looks to be in the exact same format as List of rain affected Formula One Grand Prix, which was created by Motofan, a confirmed sockpuppet of Flyhead.
After looking through your recent contributions, I've also noticed that you're asking a lot of people on their user pages on subjects related to F1. Flyhead used to do that as was reminded that Wikipedia is not a chat room or forum.

TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 10:23, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Motofan1508 etc.

This discussion is in reply to:

Sorry, I just have a bit of a concern about that new user Motorhead12. A few things looked suspicious such as petty vandalism on a few F1 articles, and a very short user page intro. But one thing that really made me suspicious, is that when he created that List of safety car affected Formula One races, it is in pretty much the exact same format as the List of rain affected Formula One Grand Prix which Motofan created, until other editors stepped in to improve it as well.
I'm just a little suspicious. If he's not a sockpuppet, then I apologise and will step away. But, editing his user page to blatantly deny it, as well at attempting to attack me is also concerning me: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AMotorhead12&diff=220934460&oldid=220841545 TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 10:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I know he sounds suspicious and I'm keeping an eye on them. I'd say he's Motofan. He came straight to me and it was because he saw my name on the list. Why me. Why just me? I think he new me and had to think of a not very suspicious reason. Please don't delete the page he created. Chubbennaitor 11:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, the main reason I copped onto him was because he seemed to come straight to you. It's not as if you're name is plastered all over the Formula 1 articles for all to see! TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 11:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hang on so you're not aloud to discuss subjects anymore! The last bullet point needs to be re-thunk. Chubbennaitor 11:23, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying you're not allowed to discuss subjects anymore. I'm just saying that the manner in which he asks people things is very similar to the way Motofan/Flyhead used to ask things. See User talk:TheChrisD#F1 TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 11:24, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. (I don't like the people who only believe the rules and don't give a human touch). No offense. Yes I think he is a sockpuppet but not of Flyhead. Motofan yes. Chubbennaitor 13:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet

I am not a sockpuppet and I only want to do contribute positively to Wikipedia. I have a passion for motorsport and want to promote motorsport related articles. I also have the right to edit my own user page and you can't deny it to me. Happy ranting like a piece of crap!!!Motorhead12 (talk) 14:59, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to promote them, then don't vandalise or add nonconstructive edits, as I have seen you do on a number of occasions. And yes you have the right to edit your user page, but not to change or otherwise abuse the templates left by other users. TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 15:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
