Vandalism of Protagoras
At User talk:168.10.112.2, you apparently blocked the user for vandalism on 4 August 2006. The user blatantly vandalized Protagoras today, and I'm wondering if the IP address oughtn't to be reblocked. (It serves multiple users through the Georgia Dept. of Ed., but the contribution history seems mostly vandalism.) Wareh 14:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * As the last warning was a blatant vandal tag, I have reblocked the IP vandal for one week. Thanks for letting me know! You can report these vandal attacks at WP:AIV, which may get a quicker response than leaving a message on an individual's Talk page. Regards,  (aeropa gitica)  14:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Evil-ted™ complains about his username block
Hi. The owner of the Evil Ted (tm) account complained to unblock-en-l about the username block on their account. I would like to initiate a query as to why you felt the username was inappropriate or inflammatory; it doesn't seem obviously either to me on first inspection. Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert 20:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The username Evil-ted™ contains a special character, the trademark symbol, which has to be entered as ALT+0153, making the username difficult to enter correctly. WP:USERNAME recommends using Latin-based alphanumeric characters in order to render correctly in browsers. It can be changed to Evil-ted (tm) easily enough, as in your example above.  This will render correctly in all browsers that are loaded with Latin-based character sets and requires no additional keystrokes in order to be typed out, as opposed to the existing name.  (aeropa gitica)  20:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I passed the info along to him. Are you willing to unblock him during the name change? Georgewilliamherbert 22:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I will unblock the account pending the change of username following the process given in Changing username. Regards, (aeropa gitica)  22:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Please unblock...AOL User...thank you

User:205.202.240.133
I blocked the whole Nebraska Comm range on May 6th since CheckUser found out most of the AxelPMP and Nascar vandal ips were coming from it, as you could read on User:Drini/AxlPMP. Now this was a particularly nas spread to manyty set of vandals, since they weren't limited to en: but they spread to many wikiprojects. The block expired long time ago and since thay had calmed I never reblocked, but on the past weeks I've seen several of them resurface (I guess school started again ;)  So feel free to block them (you couldn't find it on the blocklog since it was a rangeblock) -- Drini 15:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

You have blocked me from editing ANSWER, even though others are vandalizing my edits. I expect better from a DR Who fan who should respect freedom of expression. MagicKirin

Re: Longtail stingray
Sorry if I sound like a pest on my second day as admin, but I just wanted to remind you that you should check the article history before deleting a page. I noticed that you deleted Longtail stingray because it was a blank page, but when I went back to see the history of the article, I saw that someone blanked the article yesterday, and then Crzrussian tagged it for speedy deletion. I restored the page, though. You can see the log here. Thanks! -- Nish kid 64 19:51, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Now is the time to take a break from admin duties! Regards, (aeropa gitica)  19:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No break! CSD G7, blanked by creator, so tagged. Nishkid is still green - and you're doing fine. Cheers. - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the vote of confidence! We're all still learning, doing this job. (aeropa gitica)  21:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh !@#$%. I take that back. I really need to get my eyes checked out. It was blanked by creator. My bad, aero. However, I don't understand why the creator blanked the redirect link. It's a valid redirect link that doesn't exist. Should I put it back in? -- Nish kid 64 20:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * If the redirect is valid then there is no reason for its deletion. If it redirected to another redirect page or to a deleted page then it is logical to delete it. Check Redirect for details, particularly points 1,5 and 6. Regards, (aeropa gitica)  21:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks a lot. This re-direct is valid. I did my own external research and found that these two animals were indeed the same, so I restored the redirect page. Thanks for all the help, aero. -- Nish kid 64 21:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

MagicKirin 16:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC) These are not bias edits they are facts. Hugo Chavez is associated with Cuba, North Korea and Iran and proudly admidts it. The bias seems to come from my detractors who are not open mindedMagicKirin 16:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC) MagicKirin

User:B&W Anime Fan
Hey -- just to let you know, this user is requesting unblocking. I assume the edit was in response to that user's edit on Vandalism, but personally, I don't see the edit in question as disruptive, just improperly performed: (added " Oral sex " when should have added " Oral sex ".)  Is there another reason I'm missing? Mango juice talk 18:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)


 * It looks like three admins agree with my reasons for blocking; subtle vandalism is still vandalism. (aeropa gitica)  00:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Your block of
Hi, you recently blocked this IP address indefinately for vandalism. This is not a user account and the IP address does not have an enormous record of vandalism and disruption, and therefore I beleive that this block is out of order. Please reconsider. Thanks. &mdash; Nearly Headless Nick  {L} 12:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. (aeropa gitica)  12:07, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Boy, are you quick or what? :D &mdash; Nearly Headless Nick  {L} 12:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Just a query as to why you blocked for only 31 hours? I thought it was your everyday one off vandal but the usage of hangon and the talk page at least implies a sockpuppet. –– Lid(Talk) 23:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I was tempted to indef-block but I thought that they could have a second chance. Maybe I should go with my gut instinct. If they do return to vandalise at that account again, an indef block would be in order as a vandalism-only account. (aeropagitica) 00:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Also can you salt Tariq Sabri please? I userfied the page when it was first posted on the 28th but he seems to have continued to continue making it. –– Lid(Talk) 00:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Help
Thanks for deleting my test. It clearly did not do what I thought it would. What I can't work out is how to fit all this information on Lords reform into some kind of useable hierarchy.

Part of what I need to do is to provide more details of the various proposals. Now the information is very specific to House of Lords reform, so I don't want to have a general page, but I'm struggling to work out how I should add the information. Help would be appreciated Mike 20:30, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * A good place to ask for help with this type of issue is Village pump (assistance). (aeropagitica) 20:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Help with User:IHaveAColdThatsAwesome
User has made several nonsense edits, and now claims that addition of Category:People who carry swords  and lots of people to it is not vandalism (see talk page). I don't have the authority to make him stop, but the edits seem not-so-coincidentally silly. Comments? -Patstuart 22:57, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I have replied on this editor's Talk page and commented on the CfD debate. (aeropagitica) 23:10, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Wiki-Off
I think I should be able to make a page since the idea is real and actually really fun to do. Please restore it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by A.blue.wave (talk • contribs)


 * Firstly, sign your comments with four tildes, ~ . This helps editors to respond to comments. Secondly, the concept already exists at Wiki Game, so there is no need to recreate the deleted page.  Thirdly, if you would like to contribute to Wikipedia in a constructive manner, please look at Your first article and Missing encyclopedic articles for starters. Lastly, new comments are added to the bottom of my Talk page and not the top, as it says at the top! (aeropagitica) 19:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Removed
Your opinion on whether FlowFighting is a "non-notable mixed martial art style" has been removed since the standard format used here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PraMek has held for over a year. Since the individual in question Scott Sonnon has been the USA National Team Coach of two martial art styles, and trained numerous world and Olympic champions, his record stands firm unless you can otherwise provide reasons to the contrary. If you would like to request a vote, that is fine. Please use the standard voting format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by B-ham (talk • contribs)


 * Once again, the existence of some article (PraMek) should not necessarily be viewed as a precedent or an open invitation for other articles - that article does not constitute a "standard format". Also, the article was on FlowFighting, not Scott Sonnon, so Sonnon's record is irrelevant.  In any case, the request for a vote has been honored - see Articles for deletion/FlowFighting. fbb_fan 04:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Morewellian
Thank you, dear, for the patronizing comment. The article that I created was what we in the biz call a "stub" and will be filled in shortly. Give it time. It would have been more helpful if you were to have googled for the term and filled in the stub.

User:208.108.164.52
I just gave 208.108.164.52 a final warning for continued vandalism on Bellefontaine, Ohio even after you blocked this address. Could you help us ensure this person does not continue to vandalize Wikipedia? Thanks! -- SwissCelt 16:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Now reported to WP:AIV. It is best to place vandal warnings for admin attention there rather than on an individual admin's Talk page, in case they are offline.  This IPvandal will be blocked if they vandalise again.  Regards, (aeropagitica) 16:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Imransiddiqui
I would like to know how to fix the blocked article so that it can be put back on line after making the relevant corrections. I guess most people of the world have no idea about the broadcast situation in Pakistan that is why it came as a shock. But I am willing to fix it in order to follow guidelines and procedures observed on this forum. Regards, Imran Siddiqui —Preceding unsigned comment added by Imransiddiqui (talk • contribs)


 * First, sign your Talk comments with four tildes, ~ . Second, you have to provide a link to the article in question or at least give me the name in order to understand what the request for comment is about. (aeropagitica) 07:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Articles for deletion/Imransiddiqui - this is the article in question, yes? I have taken a look at the deleted content and I don't think that there is any way that it can be saved.  Please read Your first article and Help:Starting a new page.  Be aware that articles should be sourced and referenced and not contain any original research on your part. The speedily deleted article above fell foul in all of these areas. (aeropagitica) 07:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I hope you are feeling fine. I have re-inserted your comments on the affected page. Sorry about that. I was having an edit conflict and I guess I may have accidently removed your comments. Thank you for pointing this out to me! -- S iva1979 Talk to me  08:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Abuse Report
Hi user Nagarajachar has used very offencive and abusive language against me and my family in my talk page which is very rude and i am really upset about it, he has made personal attacks could you please take some action. Though he has not left his signature or time.Thanks--Ganesha1 08:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. Next time, please report this type of incident to WP:PAIN, as any given admin may be away from their computer and this will delay the response, if one is warranted. (aeropagitica) 11:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for ur help, will do it appropriately next time.--Ganesha1 14:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Re:RfA Withdrawn
Hello! I have withdrawn your RfA on your behalf. The point that I wanted to make was that becoming active in XfA discussions and citing policy and guidelines when you do participate is a good demonstration of your grasp of the Wikiprocess, besides showing your civility and interest in topics. Please don't be disheartened by this event! No one who participated is your enemy; everyone who contributed wants the same thing that you do, to see you improve your editing skills and Wikiknowledge. Try again in ~2000 edits, using this time to learn about the above and to make friends on Wikiprojects. Regards, (aeropagitica) 12:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for doing that for me. Not disheartened at all. All of the oppose votes I saw were contructive criticism, minus Daniel.Bryant's which frankly was an editcountitis vote to me ;-). I'll try to get more involved in the xfd process next time around. Thanks for taking part in my rfa! - Mike  ( Trick or treat ) 17:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. (aeropagitica) 07:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I do however please guilty to still learning! Super Impose 12:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

My RfA: Malber
I've removed my listing and posted a response to most of your points on the RfA page. I thank you for keeping the discussion civil. You are the only person who brought up the User:DyslexicEditor thing, so I thought I'd address it: take a long hard look at the editor's comments at ANI and the editor's tendentious editing history with the percieved cabal.

Also, I think it's unproductive for an admin to have sprotected their talk page. What if a newbie or anon has questions? -- User:Malber (talk • contribs) 15:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your civility remarks - politeness costs nothing! Good point about sprotection, I was thinking much the same thing last week, so I have now removed the status. Regards, (aeropagitica) 16:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Panda & Angel
Please explain why this band does not deserve an article. according to WP:band, a band deserves an article if it "Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers, personal blogs, etc...)." Well, they have been featured on msnbc at  and they have been featured in numerous independant music magazines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Senti mental (talk • contribs)


 * Firstly, the article title should go at the top of your comments on my Talk page, so that I have something to which I can refer. Secondly, sign your name with four tildes, ~ in order to make it easier to reply to your comments.


 * To quote from the article; "..the band released [their] first self titled ep in June of 2006." The criteria found at WP:Music states that a band is notable if it;
 * "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)"
 * If you would like to develop the article in a Sandbox user sub-page before publication then please do so and the article can go up for AfD if the evidence provided is equivocal. (aeropagitica) 19:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
