WP:AIV
OK, the IP you reported 209.158.191.252 (talk &bull; contribs &bull; [ page moves] &bull; block user &bull; [ block log]) is a judgement issue, and you were definitely not out of line in reporting it. I think about half the admins processing that one would have blocked the IP since it is a vandal who has a nastily long track record, but in this case I decided not to block, and instead give a -warning for these reasons. If there is any more trouble from the IP do not hesitate to re-report. By the way, thank you very much for your help in counteracting vandalism, it is a severe problem here and anyone helping in fighting it is doing a greatly appreciated job!

 * 1) The last time the IP was warned was December 22 2005.
 * 2) The vandalism from the IP ended about half an hour ago.

Typo fix
Thanks for fixing the typo on the Yahiya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi article. I think the policy is to mark such corrections as minor edits. Thanks. :) --Nkv 12:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application
Dear DakAD,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - GI e n 18:18, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Nil problemo :-)... kinda thought i'd get tuned down, but was worth a try --DakAD 18:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

category talk
That category was moved to Category:Wikipedians by D&D alignment. — xaosflux  Talk  01:15, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

ahthankinyou. updated the WP:EDIANS link to it. --DakAD 01:29, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Uncategorized articles
Please be aware that putting a stub marker on an article, as you did with Bohemian earspoon, isn't good enough - please put in an actual category. Stub categories are Wikipedia maintenance categories, not subject categories. Eli Falk 17:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:CVU status
The Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to and/or  status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

A tag has been placed on Rodney Gordon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ←Signed:→ Mr. E.

Notice of edit warring at Fisting
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. HalJor (talk) 01:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I've blocked you for 24h for this. You are editing tendentiously and failing to respond meaningfully on the talk page. You are repeatedly re-inserting an attribution to "mich" as you put it in the full knowledge that is false; this is unacceptable William M. Connolley (talk) 13:51, 12 September 2009 (UTC)


 * what the fuck are you talking about? Haljor was the one who just stopped bothering to talk on the talk page and simply removed the image, and I am re-inserting an image that was quite clearly by michaelangelo, as it can be seen in the sistine chapel painting (ONLY difference being the colour). If you feel the attribution is incorrect, take it up with wikimedia commons (where the image is stored, attributed to michaelangelo). Why not block HalJor? He's 'edit warring' as much as I am, and is the one refusing to talk about it, simply deleting the image ad-nausium, claiming it's 'until we reach consensus' whilst refusing to discuss it.


 * And oh noez, you have blocked me! I guess I'll log out to edit stuff --Dak (talk) 18:49, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Jesus, are you guys fucking retarded or just trolls? I didn't know that it was block-evasion when I did it, as I said! And I'm being uncivil because I was blocked for no good reason (seriously, check the article closer: I made numerous attempts to discuss the issue, but HalJor just kept misrepresenting what I'd said and started an edit war, so i gave up talking and tried to stop him -- then he reported me, lied in the report (see below), and I was banned without even being able to state my side and without seeing whether the warning would work on it's own).

I guess I'll just create a new account for the duration of the block then, so I can keep on voluntarily aiding wp (note that this is the first set of edits that anyone's had a problem with) then come back to this account when the blocks expired. Unless you block 'me' permanently, in which case I guess I'll just keep my new account.
 * And now the block is one month--continue this, and it'll be indef next time. Blueboy96 22:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

RE: original block:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Dak_reported_by_User:HalJor_.28Result:_24h.29

Please note the following:


 * I never reverted thrice within one 24-hour period, and I only ever reverted HalJor's reverts.
 * Yes, HalJor talked on the talk page, BUT THEN HE STOPPED, and simply repeatedly removed the image without any further discussion on the issue.
 * And, no edits were made by me to the article between HalJor 'warning' me and me being blocked: I didn't have a chance to respond
