User talk:Banes/Archive 13

You are...
...On my list of wikifriends: see my userpage! I know we haven't interacted directly. I saw you being active on Esperanza, discussing new ideas and doing the likes. Anyway: we dont need to interact to be friends! After all, a person once said: even if a person isn't your friend, if you want to be his friend, then he will be your friend-- Exir  Kamalabadi Join Esperanza! 13:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching
Hi! While User:Titoxd is on a Wikibreak, he gave me permission to do some leg-work concerning Esperanza admin coaching. I was curious how your coaching with User:Gryffindor is going. If it is finished (or even if it isn't), would you be able to take on another coachee? Don't feel guilty if you don't have the time- I perfectly understand, and wouldn't want anyone feel overworked. Thanks for all your time! E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:32, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I have assigned User:SFGiants as your coachee. Thanks for all your support of the admin coaching program, and let me know if you have any questions. E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 05:43, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Changing the length of a block
Hi, Banes. I was doing some WP:AIV duty, and I came across this. You seem to have given a 48-hour block, and then changed your mind and re-blocked for a week. However, since you didn't unblock first, the shorter block is the one that is effective. If an admin blocks someone who is already blocked at the time of blocking, then regardless of which block was done first, the one that is due to expire first is the one that is effective. If you had made it one week, and then changed your mind and made it 48 hours, that would have worked, but it doesn't work the other way round, so you'll have to unblock and re-block if you still want it to be for a week. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 12:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Many thanks for the token of appreciation, which is in turn very much appreciated! Zaian 14:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

So did it work? (Squidward)
So what was the upshot? Did Squidward stop, or what? Just curious. I haven't seen any George-Reeves-guy type stuff for a while. Herostratus 04:30, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

User:209.221.115.5 block
Could you please review your block on this IP, as your much shorter block over-rides FireFox's. As its been blocked several times before and is a 'bad' vandal I'm requesting you unblock (O) and then re-block for longer. Thanks.

Btw, how did your Wikibreak go? Was it enforced with power/connection trouble or voluntary? How's things on that front now? Cheers, Petros471 18:34, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


 * So he did... I'm not sure why I couldn't see that, especially as it was only a couple of mins after the block. Weird cache or something. Glad you enjoyed your break. And yes I thought you'd noticed that (I wonder how...), thanks. Petros471 19:07, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Block conflicts
Please check the block log of a suspected vandal before blocking them, as you may discover they have already been blocked. See, for example,, in which your block conflicted with mine. Thanks. --Cyde Weys 19:11, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Heya banes,

Did you notice I wrote a new paragraph on WP:BSB? I was trying to incorporate some things we discussed on the talk. Does it look okay to you?

Re: Admin Coaching
I'm not normally much of an IRC buff, but I'm willing to play along if you think it's a better way to set things up ;-) Sometime on a weekend might be best, I think; otherwise, the time zone difference means that I won't generally get off from work until the middle of the night your time.  Any particular time that you would prefer?

Our nominal coachee seems to have gone inactive, though, which might make this a rather academic question. Kirill Lok s h in 18:29, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Banes, I hope I'm not bothering you too much; I was just wondering, if you have any spare time in your busy schedule, could you look at the Editor review page and try to maybe review me? I'm trying to find out how I can improve and how I'm viewed on Wikipedia. Much thanks!   _-M     o     P-_     04:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the kind words! I try to keep my editing balanced, but I chat too much it seems; half of my edits are talking to other people :P But hopefully with the advice of yourself and others I can improve tenfold.

Comment moved from userpage.
Thanks for the welcome. I'm sorry I didn't know there was a sandbox. I will use it from now on if I want to test something. Sorry, your welcome told me to sign with with 4 tildes, I forgot to do that. The Genesis 08:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry again, I didn't know I put that comment on the wrong page. I am working on an article called Black and Mild and I cited an article that states that they are the top selling cigar brand in the US. I have an other webpage that say's this besides the one I already cited. Should I cite the second one too? The Genesis 21:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I decided not to use the second source per your advice. The Genesis 01:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand HTML so what you told me just confused me, sorry. Could you explain it to me? The Genesis 00:31, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi I have a request I would like you to please do for me. I created an article called Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood. It needs to be moved to Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood, my account says I'm blocked or that my username is too new, so I can not move it myself. Could you please move the article for me?

Happy April...a reply^^
Hey, Daniel...thanks for your note on my talk page at the beginning of this month. Sorry to not reply for such a long time...business has stolen me! No, hopefully I won't be doing any more exams until possibly this summer or even later...(as in a year). How are prospects coming to the possibility of you coming to America?

Also, I'm not sure if you noticed my comment in reply to your comment on my blog. I was so surprised to see your comment there...thanks! I'm working on a reply, but I just wanted to let you know I was blessed to see your opinion on music like that. It's something I believe strongly in (could you tell? very POV, eh?) and I was glad to see that you were inquiring about it, as well. God bless!--<font color="#FF6699">Violin  G <font color="9999FF">irl <font color="CC00FF">♪ 18:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I think the last exam I had was the one I failed, the one you knew about...too bad for you about the upcoming tests and stuff. Let me know, and I'll be praying. I might not reply right away, but I check over here anyway once or twice a week. 'Twould be great if your whole family could move here with you. Ok, have to run.

Nobody is attacking you
To all the people who accused us, do know that you revealed names of innocent people, so expect fire, geocities, will not be used,feel free to track ip, it will get you nowhee, that's not the point, feel free to file lawsuits, we are good at it. Banes shame on you, you did not help, only caused this problem with other scumbag administrators. Next website will be impossible to go. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.107.2.250 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, firstly, I have no intention of filing any lawsuits, nor have I attempted to track your library IP. There are better things to do, life is short. Secondly, I did not cause you to vandalize wikipedia as Squidward. And as for your hate sites, I am not that worked up about them, just a couple of geocities pages, so, I am not worrying right now about anybody attacking me. "Next website will be impossible to go" Having trouble? Regards --  Ban  e  z  07:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * If you're going to blame anyone here, blame me. I tracked your IP addresses (first the Comcast IP and secondly the library IPs), reported your vandalisms and will continue to do so. Why? Because you have nothing better to do than vandalise (No wait, that's not a personal attack) Because you have nothing better to do than vandalise.


 * I may be setting myself up as a target, but it'll take the negative attention away from Banes.

Esperanza elections, Wikibreak, etc.
Banes,

I'm sorry to hear that you are withdrawing and taking a Wikibreak, but I understand that there are things that must be done in real life. I have honored your request, and have withdrawn you from the race. Take care, best of luck, and let me know if there's anything I can do for you in the future. E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 05:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I second that. My thoughts as I was reading that were "Oh, ****!!!", because I know you are an excellent Wikipedian and would be an ideal member of Esperanza's leadership. But there's always next election, right? :)... Tito xd (?!? - help us) 06:24, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Good luck with real life! It's annoying how things always pop up in it and cause problems... ;) We will certainly miss you around Wikipedia and in Esperanza, hopefully you know by now that you would have done fantastically on the Advisory Council.  But as Titoxd said, there is always next time!  Good luck, and we'll see you around (hopefully). -- Nataly a  11:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry to see you decide to withdraw... but you've got your priorities straight, hats off. Best wishes in your future endeavours and hope to see you active again soon... + +Lar: t/c 13:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Good luck, and all the best in your real life. Hope to see you back soon! - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 20:38, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
