User talk:BarkingFish/Archives/Archive 4

Re:Help needed re: Disappeared user.
Userpage: this user has never had a userpage, hence the red link. It hasn't been deleted either (no deleted edits viewable to me in the history). A user can't 'remove themselves' from Wikipedia in the sense that all contributions (except deleted ones) will always be available (and deleted ones to admins, if the article is known).

Talk page: This was blanked, a common (though certainly discouraged) thing done by users who've received warnings.

Checkuser: To check the IP address you'd have to file a checkuser request. However, in this case it will be rejected, as 'checkuser if not for fishing' (for privacy reasons). Basically you have to have suspicion already about a particular sock account being used for vandalism. Take a look at the guidelines at the top of the checkuser page for more.

So basically, I wouldn't worry about it too much, just keep an eye on that user/the article, and treat it like any other vandalism (revert, warn, report for block). Cheers, Petros471 20:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Superted's Magic Words
Hey there! I just wanted to message you after reading what you wrote here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DanielLC I'm actually the guy who created the auction for Superted's magic words, and I can assure you I'm not a lip reading expert, and that's not how I worked it out. However, I can't really tell you much more about this in a public forum for obvious reasons. I cannot be held responsible for passing out a loaded gun like this to the world! Aaarrrggh

I finished reading the text on the article Rien Poortvliet and corrected some mistakes. Unfortunately, I'm unable to translated it further.

I will add it to my watch list, and if vandalism gets too bad I will protect it. Tom Harrison Talk 13:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Crete mourns
Thanks Thor. My Greek is just good enough to see that Crete is indeed mourning the death of Tim. Amazing that it doesn't get into a English language source somewhere in the world...Pliny 17:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Ref: Vandalism to Tweenies and Bob the Builder
We do not usually protect a page until the vandalism gets more intense. I have it on my watch list and will revert and block as necessary. Thanks for letting me know, Tom Harrison Talk 21:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
