Be that as it may, I think that the note does provide a compelling reason to keep the spoiler warning. --tjstrf talk 02:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree but if anyone were to contest it, they could easily state that it is cannot be enforced by a policy that is not yet policy. Gdo01 02:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, but anyone going around mass-blanking spoiler warnings will be doing it based on that pseudo-policy. So they'd rather undercut themselves if they made that argument. --tjstrf talk 02:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well you (in the note on Aizen's page) and Poetic Decay in edit summaries both used WP:SPOILER as justification or a link to it. Gdo01 02:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's because I mostly agree with it. If someone here wants to revert me, they can, I won't edit war over it or anything. --tjstrf talk 02:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AIV Request[edit]

Thank you for making a report about 69.235.225.159 (talk · contribs · block log) on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Edits by User:69.235.225.159 not obviously vandalism. No edits since the final warning (which was the only warning.) -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) (Talk) 03:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See my reply on AIV below and please don't use a generic template, I have over 9000 edits and have been here almost a year. Gdo01 03:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The warning was at 3:40 and the next vandal edit at 3:43. How isn't the vandalism obvious? There is no French queen born in the last 10 years. Also, the blatantvandal template can be used in place of other warnings. Gdo01 03:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Three minutes after the final warning isn't that long of a time. It could be that they vandal didn't see the final message after making that change. You are right about the vandalism, however. I must admit I didn't look too closely at the content, but the changes and edit summaries looked legit.
In general, vandals are to be given several warnings before getting blocked. If this person performs any more vandalizing, report them and they will be blocked. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) (Talk) 04:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The reason the vandalism was blatant is precisely because the vandal tried to pass off as a normal editor. That clearly shows an intent to blatantly vandalize which is why the blatantvandal tag was appropriate. As the blatant tag says, a vandal can be blocked immediately after vandalizing after a blatantvandal tag is placed. I was courteous enough to put a test4 but I did not have to. Please read the blatantvandal tag clearly, vandals can be blocked after just getting that one tag. Gdo01 04:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify[edit]

Explain to me what you are accusing me of! Cause if you are examining (as a patroler) dicussion pages are made for opinion and comment, tell me where did I go wrong? Where do you see a problem with me and my comments? I have not cause no problems. Send me some feedback. Thank you. LILVOKA 05:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your commentary on the Simpsons feud was completely a forum topic, it had nothing to do with improving the article. The same goes with the commentary you put on a radio article, advice to buy satellite radio does not belong on Wikipedia talk pages. Gdo01 05:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, anything else aformented in this dicussion? I see that the dicussion of the WROU radio station was wrong, I didn't mean for that one to end up on there. But for other dicussions, tell me you have many others who do that? Where does the time go when there is not just me but others? Cause I am still not convinced that this warning you placed on my page was necessary. I mean there is many others who do that too. LILVOKA 05:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't go fishing. Of course, there are others out there but that doesn't make your violation any less. Frankly, if you are resorting to that defense, it seems that you know you did wrong and want to justify yourself somehow. However, you are partly right that I do not often go after Talk violations but going through my contributions you will see that I do do it semi-often and you just happened to do it on several articles on my talk page. Not to mention the fact that the same stuff was posted on 3 pages and if you look at the 3 pages you will see I am not the only one who finds what you wrote to be misplaced or inappropriate. Gdo01 05:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that seems like a better conclusion. Although disagreements are necessary for the better of Wikipedia, I do agree that is essential for your position as a patrol administator to do this. I will make contributions more reasonable. Is there are anything else needed for me to improve on? LILVOKA 05:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thats it. Thanks for the level headedness, I've lately dealt with lots of immature impulsive editors and you are a welcome change. Gdo01 06:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No Problem! That's why we're here! LILVOKA 06:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like your opinion...[edit]

If you got into an "edit war" with an anonymous user, and felt that your reversions were accurate, and said individual was vandalizing, would you give them a 3RR warning, or ask another editor to do it? For some reason, which I cannot easily explain, I simply feel that giving him the warning (which he so richly deserves) myself would be inappropriate. I would very much like to hear your opinion. Thanks. ---Cathal 01:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well if its obvious vandalism, reverting it is exempt from 3RR. It really depends how obvious the vandalism is. 3RR can be a pathway to blocking the anon but it being vandalism is a better and more understandable way to get the IP blocked. Gdo01 01:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The question is, then, was it vandalism? The same user made a number of good edits whilst, at the same time, continuously reverting the title of a book that had been altered after a talk page discussion. I asked him to provide an edit summary with an explanation for his changes, which he did not do. I then warned him not to change the title again, because there was good reason for the change I had made, and he changed it back again, without explanation. The good edits aside, he changed the title intentionally, willfully, and maliciously. It's a 3RR violation, without question. ---Cathal 01:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is and if that were the only case then I would tell you to warn the user yourself no matter if you have done it too. In that case, you would hope to get an observant admin that would see the true crime is with the IP. Other than that, it depends on how solid the consensus is. Going against a unanimous decision would definitely be vandalism and so should going against other more minor consensus. If you feel comfortable going the 3RR case go ahead but I would try to justify myself as defending consensus from a non-responsive user. Gdo01 02:03, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As it happens, whilst I was off doing more important things, another editor reverted one of the IP's changes, and he has not done it again. So, I will avoid any action at this point, and see if this comes up again later. For now, all is at peace, and I intend to keep it that way. Or, at any rate, not do anything to stir things up again. ---Cathal 04:01, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

for reverting the vandalism to my userpage, I wonder why that user did that. Very odd. Thank you very much none the less. KOS | talk 03:13, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Gdo01 03:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You altered my words, that is vandalism even if it is on your page. I would advise that you should stop doing stupid things like calling yourself an admin and thinking you are Jimbo Wales Gdo01 20:20, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think im Jimbo Wales first off and second off just because you can sit around all day and change things on an internet site dosnt make u god. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soupman15 (talk • contribs).

Then why did you copy the commentary from his profile as if your page is as visited and as edited as his. Further please read WP:NPA, you can be blocked for personally attacking me. Anyway, I can do whatever I wish within the bounds of the rules of Wikipedia, something you keep on violating by vandalizing Wale's page with useless commentary, changing my words, and impersonating admins.

CopyNight Orlando[edit]

Hi Gdo01/Archive/Archive 03! I see you're from Florida. If you're in the Orlando area, please check out this brief survey. I'm looking to start a meet-up of CopyNight, a monthly social discussion of copyright and related issues (like Wikipedia, Creative Commons, and open source). If that sounds neat, please answer this short survey to help with scheduling the event. Thanks! --Gavin Baker 11:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Hi there. Ill stop.[edit]

Hello there.

I know, it seems like I am some rampant vandal, like most are (Ironically, I bust vandals at school).

However, I do have my reasons.

I won't vandalize the jamie Lynn Spears article again. I just wanted to send a message across about how bad the people of this generation are ending up. Drugs, sex, the big enchilada are all included int his generation. I should know...

I have to deal with these total idiots like these at school all the time.


I became cynical on the inside since Middle school.

I have strong views on the future. I consider myself a futurist. I like to make up new technologys, but I also predict possible landslides caused by these total idiots.

Sumimasen
