"Barnstar"

 * Thanks, you guys. I'll try my best.

Adoption
Hello. I know you're a returning user, but if you would like to be adopted, I'd be willing to do it. Please contact me either way. Best regards, Kei  lana  00:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, why not? &mdash;BoL @ 01:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Defunct streetcar routes
I propose that we merge all of these routes into a single article, namely the article you just started. Thoughts? — Kurykh  02:05, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've just started one. Check it out. &mdash;BoL @ 02:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I know that. I meant that we merge all the defunct streetcar articles into that one. — Kurykh  02:07, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what I meant. &mdash;BoL @ 02:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Finished merging and redirecting the defunct streetcar articles. Now just need to clean up... — Kurykh  04:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if you added the infobox... &mdash;BoL @ 05:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * We don't need one. — Kurykh  05:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * eh... &mdash;BoL @ 05:10, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Now it only leaves the problem of a "G" line, if there ever was one. — Kurykh  05:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * There never was one. There was never an "I" line, either. Check out these refs. &mdash;BoL @ 05:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

User:Native94080
You've dealt with him already in regards to attacking users; he's started attacking me now (User talk:Butterfly0fdoom) and seems to desire to conspire with another user (User talk:Benreaves). Seriously, can something be done about this? The user's getting on more and more nerves. Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 08:07, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I've dealt with that person by reporting him. Next time, you may want to report him to one of the noticeboards, like this one. &mdash;BoL @ 19:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

List of F-Market Streetcars article

 * Thanks for helping out with that article. Sorry, for making it a mess in the first place, I was only trying to fix the article, since I was finishing another user's unfinished work (since that user took off, and retired). But anyways thanks! SFOetthekid (talk) 18:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's OK. And thanks. I happen to know one of the MSRy's reps, and he said it's like it was copyrighted from the site, so I did some cleanup. I'm not done yet, though. Happy editing! &mdash;BoL @ 19:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Your V's Place order
Hello dear customer. Thank you for ordering the Corner bar from our shop, but I'm very sorry to tell you that we cannot proceed with your order because: Please solve this issure by: specifying the subpages that will be presented on the corner bar. As soon as you do this, I can keep on working. Thank you.-- Vintei  Talk  17:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Reply
Right now, the RfC is unnecessary. Do one only if this gets out of hand again. Frankly, we solved this dispute with little external intervention, so such a drastic measure is not yet needed. — Kurykh  23:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

"Yes, you've all been wondering; I was known to you all before under a different username but changed my name under Right to Vanish. Please DO NOT mention that name on this page, or anywhere in Wikipedia"

You might want to chat to, who has mentioned this account in relation to your old account at least twice on-Wiki from what I've seen.  Daniel  05:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Yep. I'd spotted that too. Check this, for example. Best, AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 10:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Banned user TyrusThomas4lyf
Hi, I saw your message to Chrishomingtang and am curious about the reference to Pwee. What's the back-story behind the Pwee situation, and its eventual resolution? If you can help with the TyrusThomas4lyf sock-puppetry situation, that'd be great! Myasuda (talk) 14:22, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * We had his IPs rangeblocked for a while. First, you need to open a subpage ((wow, that was fast!)) and start listing his socks and his edits. Then, file a request for checkuser on him, gather his IPs, and see if they are dynamic. If they are dynamic, have an administrator rangeblock the top five closest ranges. That is all. If you want to see how it unfolded, go here. &mdash;BoL @ 23:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks! &mdash;BoL @ 23:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Rival of our shop
Hmm. When Ford started, he got rivals too, like say, Chevrolet. But he still won, right? Now, I got a barnstar for my shop, let's just see that happening to him. Runewiki777 got a shop too, and he joined our's (his was pretty good).-- Vintei  Talk  00:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * So you two stores are kind of merged, right? I'll just go see...and you may want to create a bank with Wikimoney in it! ;-) &mdash;BoL @ 00:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Please add your name to the "Workers here" section of our shop. Thanks. You wanted to work here, right?-- Vintei  Talk  00:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but what's a good position for me? &mdash;BoL @ 00:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Re
One of his IPs wasn't blocked because it was a large gateway. So, he's not gone for good, he's just crippled. He also may be using open proxies. --EoL talk 00:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh hey, we have similar names. :) --EoL talk 00:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Have you logged the event? And you're not the only one: 1 ;) &mdash;BoL @ 00:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I also noticed there was a break between his account creation. So, it probably worked, just not completely. --EoL talk 00:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That's sweet. How do we block him? Can we tell him to go to un? &mdash;BoL @ 04:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to steal your workers here, Vintei, but this user's already our lead user script developer as of just a minute ago. Nothing personal. -- Gp 75 motorsports  REV LIMITER 00:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Username block request
"XXXHolic" is the name of an anime, and I'd say there's nothing blatantly inappropriate about someone deriving their username from it. Also, the reason you gave for a block doesn't make sense, as Wikipedia is not censored, especially not from extremely mild things like "ExExEx" in a username.  r speer  / ɹəəds ɹ  04:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, thanks for clarifying things for me. &mdash;BoL @ 04:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Be more clear please
When communicating on Wikipedia, especially with new users, please be careful to be more precise in your communications. This message to a new user will be very confusing. They'll have no clue what an RFCN is, no clue why you'd think it's inflammatory, and no clue that you're even referring to their user name. In addition, your RFCN consisted of "Ownership of names, COI." Hell, that doesn't even make much sense to me let alone a new user. Please be more specific in your posts, thanks, Metros (talk) 03:06, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what the problem is with that username either. Why is it a conflict of interest? we they trying to promote something called "All_Your_Username_Are_Belong_to_Us" or spamming for All_Your_Username_Are_Belong_to_Us.com? Secretlondon (talk) 03:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't write him up. Wenli did, I opened the RFCN. &mdash;BoL @ 00:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, yeah, but see Wenli's report was a lot more clear than yours. I don't see how you can "pass the buck" on this one to another user.  You were the one with the report of "Ownership of names, COI" and the comment on the user's talk page, not Wenli.  Metros (talk) 13:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * never mind... &mdash;BoL @ 22:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

The Dreamlovers
I'm awful confused as to how you came to the conclusion that this article was created under a conflict of interest. I've been writing doo wop articles all day. Also, I was born a generation after this group broke up. Chubbles (talk) 22:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * My mistake. &mdash;BoL @ 22:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Awesome Kong II
I disagree about this being a nonsense article. There are lots of monster truck articles on here and this one fits right in. Jwess (talk) 23:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Protection requests
You were told under your old account to familiarize yourself with Protection policy, which states that we don't pre-emptively protect pages. Though there are exceptions to this, your user subpages are not those exceptions. In all likelihood, nobody's going to vandalize those pages; if and when they are, however, I wouldn't have a problem protecting them myself. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 00:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I am familiar with the protection policy. But I seem to recall a policy called user's right. Am I correct? If not, never mind. &mdash;BoL @ 00:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Please link me to that particular policy, as I'm not familiar with it.


 * Also, I hope you'll consider turning off ; it makes replying to threads here very obnoxious. EVula // talk //  &#9775;  // 00:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No wonder why. And as for User's right, I think it is [|here], and you can check this user's contribs. I've remember seeing him requesting protection of his accounts and his doppleganger. &mdash;BoL @ 00:55, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The page you link to specifically states "When edit wars or vandalism persist, the affected page should be protected from editing"; I see no edit warring or vandalism. However, as there does appear to be a precedent, and fair is fair: I'll protect the requested pages myself, revert my related edits to RPP, and make a note on the protection policy to reflect common practice. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 05:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The other admins do it all the time. Like The Dissident for example. But, it's all right, doesn't really matter, but yeah, I couldn't find anything called user's right. But somehow it exists, I just forgot where to look...anyway, take this: &mdash;BoL @ 02:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Bungalows of Lowell
Actually, they will be demolished pretty soon; that's the news that I've heard. — Kurykh  05:40, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, didn't know that. Sorry. Ours'll be gone in 2008. &mdash;BoL @ 05:41, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's because our school is done remodeling (save the art wing) and both of my bungalow classes have been moved back into the main building. — Kurykh  05:42, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, my school got a lot more coming up. Most of my classes are being moved out to the bungalows, I go to Galileo, by the way. &mdash;BoL @ 05:43, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

And I don't know why you turned off the section editing function on this page. Whether intentional or accidental, it's extremely hard to edit this page. — Kurykh  05:52, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I was trying to get MiszaBot to not archive the welcome, as you know, I'm a returning user under RTV. &mdash;BoL @ 05:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I know that, and the history behind it (it's best not to advertise your RTV, btw, per WP:BEANS, among other things). — Kurykh  06:00, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Ahem!
Your comments on this user's talk were inappropriately hostile and short (in fact, the CSD tag was inappropriately chosen as well!). Please refrain from biting the new contributors, be civil, etc. (you are not a newbie, so you should know the drill by now).

Just because someone hasn't memorized WP:NOT doesn't mean they intend harm or shouldn't be treated with respect and kindness. There are 8 other Wikimedia projects that have completely different scopes: perhaps you might familiarize yourself with them if you're going to be doing RC patrol. -- SB_Johnny | talk 13:05, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Tubbs Corner
Pardon, but what's possibly a problem with the notability of Tubbs Corner, Texas? Places are considered notable, and unless you want to argue with the GNIS, you can't doubt that it exists. I've removed the refneeded template, by the way, because all information is derived from the GNIS source listed. Nyttend (talk) 07:12, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't know that, but I've never heard of it. Not only that, I added that tag because it could've also used a little bit refimprove. &mdash;BoL @ 07:14, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The source for my statement is Articles for deletion/Common outcomes — of course, it's not policy, but it's good enough for most geography-based editors. If you already are familiar with this page, I'm sorry, but not sure what a righttovanish person knows and what s/he doesn't :-) Nyttend (talk) 07:31, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with that, either. Mostly, right now, it's just people stirring up nonsense, especially about Santa Claus and Resident Evil. &mdash;BoL @ 07:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you mind if I remove the notability tag? Nyttend (talk) 07:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't mind, but I think it could use a little bit improvement on the refs. &mdash;BoL @ 07:40, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's 3AM here in Ohio, so I'm going to bed (should have gone hours ago, as I'll likely be sleepy in church!) now, with no more time for research tonight. If you'd be willing to add references for information, I'd quite appreciate it...Nyttend (talk) 08:02, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Archiving
Hello Blow of Light. While on Recent Changes patrol, I noticed you moved your talk page to User talk:Blow of Light/Work Desk, and then blanked it and requested deletion. Were you aware that this would remove the entire talk page history, as well as all of the discussions? If you have questions about how to archive, see Help:Archiving a talk page. But you may want to not delete the page, as it would wipe out the entire history of your talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Ariel ♥  Gold  15:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That was unintentional. I had a work desk on my userspace, then moved it to the work desk as I started setting up my userspace. I didn't realize that would affect my talk page as well. So, I moved it back here, and requested deletion, but, from what you told me, I think it's best to keep the page blank. Thanks for letting me know. &mdash;BoL @ 19:52, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, what you should consider is that when you move a page, the page history itself is moved, and the old page becomes a redirect with no page history at all. That means the dates and times, and names of anyone who posted to the page is also moved. Therefore, when you delete such a page, you delete the history of that page as well, which, in the case of talk pages, is not generally advised. By copying and pasting the contents, you do restore the page itself, but not the history of the page, if that makes any sense, lol. Hope that helps explain it a little bit more. Ariel  ♥  Gold  20:05, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. And by the way, after this page is deleted, can you salt it? He keeps recreating that page and it's nonsense. I haven't dealt with him yet, but thanks, anyway. &mdash;BoL @ 20:08, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

hello
you recently redirected an LG Chocolate phone model to the main LG Chocolate page... i have reverted. The phones are all very different. I am still working on setting them up... the LG Chocolate section was in a mess before... can you please wait it out till im done with it all before re-reverting it all... this has been discussed over and over... and the only way we can arrive at a conclusion for this is by attempting to search out all the models (which I think I have now done... i found 3 extra ones in addition to the about 5 that there were already pages for). It will make more sense once its all done... but for now, we can only be patient. Thank you. Pollypenhouse (talk) 20:24, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Here's what you can do: You can merge them with the main LG Chocolate article, and redirect. &mdash;BoL @ 20:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no 'main' LG chocolate article... just a page where all the links come from... because they are all different phones. I know, this is confusing, but i think ive managed to make it a lot simpler so far from what it was originally... after i've got all the tables of specifications done, i will start referencing things... but for the moment, there is just so much more pressing work on these LG chocolates that I must do. Happy xmas :) Pollypenhouse (talk) 20:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Ahem! Ahem!
Well, you asked me to "adopt you", and I looked into it, and I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to be part of that program. However, I am perfectly happy to help walk you through the other wikimedia projects, so that you can see how they come together (because that was essentially why I wrote you the note in the first place). Rather than adopting you, I'll instead offer to be your "mentor" on Wikiversity, so please just list yourself here, and I'll be your mentor (which means you will have admin tools, which I think will be helpful for you to see how things work on wikimedia projects).

It's clear to me that you're a smart and dedicated contributor, but you need to see a bigger picture. If you'll have me, I'll be your teacher for a while and walk you through it. -- SB_Johnny | talk 22:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

WHAT?
What? Why every sunday there is a very high level of vandalism? I have a very unpopulated user page, so I don't have any vandalism. Please change my vandal status back.

Nillanilla3ee Talk  02:15, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't do that. You know why? Because it's a template. There's a central page called the wdefcon, which tells everyone what the current vandal status is now. Since vandals are starting to die down, I'll change it to level 3, but nothing lower. The exact same thing happened last Sunday, that's why. &mdash;BoL @ 03:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind; level 4. &mdash;BoL @ 03:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
