Archive box
I've fixed your archive box template so that it displays correctly. If this was inappropriate feel free to revert. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

No, That's quite alright.--Anderson - What's up? 04:03, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

I have AGF-reverted your addition, as you didn't follow the format on the page - please re-add it as the others did. (I would, but I must run for a bit.) Thanks!  Theo polisme  05:16, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Lord Bloody Wog Rolo
I apologise if i think you are someone that you are not, you flagged some of my additions to the Lord Bloody Wog Rolo article as Vandalism, regardless of who you are you obviously have limited understanding of wp:vandalism and i would ask you to read up on the subject. If you believe i am the one not understanding wp:vandalism please have the courtesy to leave a message on my talk page explaining how the 3 edits of mine you reverted at 07:09 on the first of September 2012‎ were a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of wikipedia.124.182.142.3 (talk) 13:18, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * They weren't. The info was not referenced.--Anderson - What's up? 05:50, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

September 2012
Anderson, please stop now. With this edit as you  have not maintained your promises and taken note of the advice to  you on the still  open  AN discussion, your contributions are disruptive to  a due process and the 3 official warnings start now. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Plan of action
Hi Anderson.

I'm leaving you this message because from what I've seen, you're coming close to getting yourself topic banned or even blocked from the encyclopedia. That's clearly not something that anyone wants to happen so I'm going to make a suggestion of how you should proceed for the next few months.

Areas to stay away from
 * For the next 6 months (Until March 2013) stay away from clerking any administrative board.
 * Wait at least 2 months before requesting any userrights at WP:PERM.

Aims for the future:
 * Try writing an article. You say you're from Invercargill - well we could do with an article on Turnbull Thompson Park. Why not start it at User:Anderson/Turnbull Thompson Park. This will teach you about looking for sources and writing on the encyclopedia, something I think every editor should have a bit of experience in, so you know what we're doing.
 * Keep reverting those vandals. You don't need rollback for this, though it makes it easier. If you do this for 3 months, without issue, I will consider returning your rollback userright.
 * See if the CVUA will have you as an instructor. Help training up new users in anti-vandalism. I woudl suggest you start with one user at a time. Once your first student has graduated, you can consider taking on more.

If you agree, these will be put at the top of your page to help you remember them. I don't have time to fully adopt you myself, but I will list myself as a point of contact, in case you have any problems or any editors have problems with you. I will be available to help you, but if you disrupt the encyclopedia, I will block you myself. Do let me know your thoughts.  Worm TT( talk ) 09:28, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Anderson, I would like to second what Worm That Turned has said here. He's giving you some good advice. ~Adjwilley (talk) 13:55, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I also second this excellent suggestion by Worm. Please say that  you  will agree to it -  I  would hate to have to be the one to  bock  you. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:48, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm going to return to removing vandalism from wikipedia.--Anderson - What's up? 21:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I do agree to this.--Anderson - What's up? 21:53, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I would be more then delighted to be a CVUA instructor, Knowing about different types of vandalism.--Anderson - What's up? 21:55, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I definitely don't want to be blocked. I am going to follow this plan.--Anderson - What's up? 21:55, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Anderson, you're getting some good advice here – I hope you heed it. I'll give you a bit more. Follow though on your commitments from now on – if you promise to do something, then do it. You squandered a golden opportunity when you retired your Scott Delaney account – Adjwilley had been kind enough to begin mentoring you and you threw that opportunity away. I know you thought people were being hard with you, and you were upset that Dennis Brown raised the WP:CIR issue, but your tendency to jump into areas of the project where you don't yet understand how things work was problematic then, and has continued to get you into trouble... So, before you do any edit in a place you're not completely familiar with, stop and think twice, and make sure you understand what you're doing, and if not, ask someone for an opinion or assistance.  And I especially think you should take WTT's advice and spend some time creating or expanding some articles. Remember, we're all here (at least we should be) to build an encyclopedia. Mojoworker (talk) 02:38, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm really glad to hear you've decided to follow the plan of action, which I've added to the top of this page. I'll offer you some advice at the talk page of the article you're creating there too.  Worm TT( talk ) 08:22, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm sure that is a negative unsourced BLP article.--Anderson - What's up? 22:40, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks to me like he's praising him for being a champion swimmer despite a disability. Might be better to search, source. clean up and expand. Dloh cierekim  22:44, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Gone anyway. Was not the best effort I've seen. Dloh cierekim  22:45, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * User:Joe Decker re-created it as a clean article.--Anderson - What's up? 22:46, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yup. He's good. He deleted and fixed it. Always best to improve an article. Dloh cierekim  22:50, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Your unblock request
On the WP:AN thread, a couple of people have agreed to unblock you if you are willing to accept certain conditions. They will be contacting you shortly, I have restored your talk page so you can reply. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 00:06, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

That would be awesome. I definitely will agree to any restrictions that are placed.--Anderson - What's up? 00:34, 2 July 2013 (UTC)


 * In response to Adjwilley, anything contributions on astronomy articles will do me good. I have taken up an interest in astronomy, and I Currently have a telescope at home. I would like to Improve articles on the stars, planets, and the universe. Thanks! --Anderson - What's up? 02:14, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Anderson, let's focus on the unblock request right now...we can talk about the articles you'd like to edit if/when you're unblocked. By the way, when you put the help template on your talk page, you'll want to transclude it, not substitute it. In other words, it will look like, not help. Alternatively, if you need to get someone's attention, instead of using the help template (which only draws editors who like to answer help requests), just link the editor you're trying to talk to, like this: User:Anderson. Also, I'm probably not going to be participating in the unblock procedure other than the comment I left at WP:AN. ~Adjwilley (talk) 02:37, 2 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I have left a message on the ANI discussion. I am not  opposed to  you  being  unblocked based on  your acceptance of the conditions. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:39, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I entirely agree to your conditions, Kudpung.--Anderson - What's up? 00:40, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

 * We're working on  it and looking  for a final  consensus and on  a set of conditions that  you  will  easily understand. If all  goes well they  will  then be posted here. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:40, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

After reading the conditions at AN, I have thought about, And I agree entirely to the conditions.

 * You'll have to  be patient. We're all  on  different  time zones around the world. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:44, 3 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I understand that, Kudpung.--Anderson - What's up? 20:45, 3 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree with Adjwilley.I might have made some mistakes in vandal fighting, but quite a lot of the reverts were quite good. I agree with not templating editors, but I should still be able to revert vandalism. If there is an edit I am not sure about, I'll leave it to another editor.--Anderson - What's up? 20:55, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The restrictions aren't "forever", they are just the starting point. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  21:12, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Conditions
Hi Anderson. Following the discussion at  WP/AN concerning  your  unblock  request, the community is prepared to  give you  another chance provided you  firmly  agree here to abide by  these conditions for 6 months, after which  we will look  at your edits again with  a view to  lifting all  or some of the restrictions. As soon as you  have posted your unconditional  agreement  I  will  unblock  your  account. To be absolutely  clear, this means: Do bear in mind however that  these conditions are not  negotiable and that  any  breaches of these conditions may  lead to  you  being  blocked again. You may  also  wish  to consider joining  an adoption  programme again, but  if you  do, you  must  follow it  through in  a timely  manner. If you  feel  that  you  are being  unduly  warned or harassed by  other users, including  admins, who  are not  familiar with  these unblock  conditions,  rather than react, please ask  for advice from  an admin, such  as for example Worm That Turned, Dennis Brown, GB fan, EdJohnston, Jayron32, King of Hearts,  or Kudpung, who  is familiar with  your  case, and we will  take it  from  there. If there is anything  you  do  not  understand in  these conditions, please do  not  hesitate to  ask Kudpung, Dennis, or Worm for a further explanation.
 * You may edit  in  article space. This includes adding correctly  sourced  'new' content, article assessment, categorisation, wikification, fixing syntax errors, adding co-ordinates, infobox conversion. You  may  also  take part  in  discussions on  article talk  pages of the articles you  have edited. You  may  not however, revert any  content  without  first  discussing  it on  the article talk  page or with  the editor concerned. For this, you  may  also  post  discussions on  the talk  pages of the editors in  question.
 * You may  not  warn, or place warning  templates on  the talk  pages of other editors. If you  feel  a warning  is necessary, please report  the instance to  an administrator. You  should take care however, that  you  do  not  do  this too  often.
 * You may not  patrol new pages.
 * You may  not patrol for vandalism or revert  any  vandalism.
 * You may not  place maintenance tags on  articles. If you  feel  a tag  is necessary, please report  the instance to  an experienced editor  in  good standing.
 * You may not take part  in  any  meta areas; by  this we mean any  'management'  areas such  as, for example (but  not  only),  WP:PERM, WP:AfD etc. This may  sound restrictive, but  remember that  we do  not  feel  that  you  have enough knowledge to  do  this for the time being.
 * You must  avoid  being  encouraged to  use editors' (or your own) talk  pages for social  banter, or an indiscriminate use of WikiLove or barnstars.
 * Finally, you may  not, under any  circumstances, create any  other user accounts or edit  without  logging  in.

Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:23, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I entirely agree to the conditions, Kudpung.

 * @Anderson, File uploads would probably take place at Commons, which is separate from Wikipedia. I don't think your restrictions here would prevent you from uploading files there. (Do make sure that any files you're uploading are free though.) If you have any files you'd like to upload feel free to let me know, and I can kind of help you through the process. ~Adjwilley (talk) 15:51, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

If there is anything  you  do  not  understand in  these conditions, please do  not  hesitate to  ask Kudpung, Dennis, or Worm for a further explanation. That said, as files are subject  to  complex copyright  regulations which  I  believe are too  difficult  for you  to  understand just  yet, my answer is that  no, you  may  not  upload files to  Wikipedia. You are welcome to  upload files to  Commons, provided you also  respect  their rules. 15:56, 6 July 2013 (UTC)Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk)

What is with your continued perseverance to make Invercargill look like an International Airport?
It is merely a stopover point for fuel on VERY RARE occasions. There is no need to have it in the destinations list as THEY ARE NOT SERVICES OFFERED FROM INVERCARGILL. If they were regularly routed through IVC, then it does become a technical stopover (enroute for ZQN-Australia flights). PLEASE CONTACT ME SHOULD YOU WISH TO DISCUSS FURTHER "ANDERSON" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiwifella123 (talk • contribs) 01:34, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I have noticed that the Technical stopover section mostly covers everything to do with the stopovers. I was wrong about everything to do with the stopovers from the start. Sorry for the confusion.--Anderson - What's up? 21:22, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Declined Adoption
Anderson, thanks for approaching me on my talk page about Adoption. Right now, I'm unfortunately going to have to decline adoption, as I have three adoptees and am trying to wrap up a grant for the WMF. If you'd like to add yourself to my waitlist or seek out a "mentor" adopter from the WP:Adopt-a-User list, which I recommend more strongly due to your edit history, I think those are both good options. Please let me know if I can be of any greater assistance! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 03:46, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Impact of username change
Aside from any other considerations, if you changed your username then no-one would be able to make jokes like this...


 * As you can see, we've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr Anderson. It seems that you've been living... two lives. In one life, you're a volunteer at a respectable software company, you pay your taxes, and you... help your landlady take out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers, where...


 * (blah blah blah)


 * One of these lives has a future. One of them does not.


 * (dramatic pause)


 * ''I'm going to be as forthcoming as I can be, Mr Anderson. You're here because... we need your help.

Even if i change my username, it will be me still. You'll probably be best to use my new name if i do.-- Anderson   I'm Willing To Help  22:51, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Are you planning to change your username to Scott Delaney? Mojoworker (talk) 05:25, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

No, Because using your real name, from what i've read, might cause harassment in some cases. I'm thinking about changing it to DragonFly, but it will be a usurpation. The user has edited. However, Their Last contribution was in 2005, and they haven't edited since then. Anderson   I'm Willing To Help  20:57, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Anderson, please seer my response to  your  question  on  my  user page. I  think  you have better things to  do  than mss around with  changing  your  user name at  least  until  your  probation  is expired. There is nothing  wrong  with  your  current  name, and Wikipedia would be best  served by  you  doing  some content  work. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:44, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

NewYorkCity101
Hi, I saw that you tagged User:NewYorkCity101 as being banned back in August 2012. However, he was not listed as being banned, as far as I can tell, when youy tagged him, and I couldn't find any RFArs, ANI or AN threads that led to his banning, so I'll remove the tags for now. Do you have any idea when and why he was banned? — SamX‧☎‧✎‧ S  13:31, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for mentioning that. Maybe because i saw his username listed there 2-3 years ago, but it was removed possibly in late 2011-early 2012 because he might not have been banned all that time. the ban tag was quite stale, and i couldn't take it down due to my current probation (unblock conditions). so i have to let other users do it and notify me.

Adoption
Hi there, I'm Lixxx235. I have been a registered user since 2010 and I am currently a rollbacker and reviewer. Are you still interested in the adoption program? I see you haven't edited for a while, so this is more of a formality than an actual offer, to get you off the list where other adopters will see you and come here. If you are still interested, however, I'd be honored to adopt you. If you would like me to adopt you, please leave me a message on my talk page.

ESEAP Conference 2018
Hello Anderson,

I’m Irvin from PhilWiki Community, a member of the Communication Committee of the ESEAP Conference. ESEAP Conference 2018 is a regional conference for Wikimedia communities throughout the ESEAP region: ESEAP stands for East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific. Taking place in Bali, Indonesia on 5–6 May 2018, this is the first regional conference for these Wikimedia communities.

East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific are the most under-represented regions within the Wikimedia community. There is a significant number of Wikimedia contributors in our regions, yet we continue to struggle in establishing a well-managed community. This conference will bring participants from various ESEAP communities together in order to better understand the issues and to look for solutions. It also aims to connect people of the Wikimedia movement within ESEAP regions, to share ideas, and to build regional collaborations that are impossible to achieve through online communication.

We’ve got a lot of participation from several countries, but we’re lacking from your country. As we need more participants from your country, we believe that your contribution and participation would be a valuable asset to the success of this event. If you would like to participate in the conference, please do fill the form as soon as possible (by April 5, 2018) and we’ll inform you if you get selected for the conference.

Thank you and we hope to see you soon. --Filipinayzd 01:16, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
