Re: You seem an experienced user...
While I appreciate the idea, I must respectfully decline. I have no ambitions of adminship, nor do I fancy the idea of subjecting myself to interrogation. Thanks anyways. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring warning
An edit warring warning for the very, very FIRST revert in 15 hours, while the other editor, who is at his second revert in 10 minutes does not get a warning. You must be kidding. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:42, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Get away from me! I don't want your copyrightparanoiaitis!!! Island Monkey talk the talk 15:46, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know how serious you're being (obviously "copyrightparanoiaitis" is meant to be at least partly humourous) but I hope you realise that no-one thinks for a moment that there is any legal concern about either of the contested versions of the article.

July 2011
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at List of Rozen Maiden characters. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. 28bytes (talk) 16:50, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, shouldn't Delta be blocked as well? Island Monkey talk the talk 16:51, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No, because he's doing NFCC enforcement, and
 * See WP:NOTTHEM. 28bytes (talk) 16:59, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm sorry, but, he is still in motion for a block since WP:3RRNO clearly states that only unquestionable NFCC violations are exempt from 3RR. His removal of the images has been questioned, see the talk page. Island Monkey talk the talk 17:04, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Well then, you will be happy to note that he has been blocked by another admin. 28bytes (talk) 17:05, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I now accept this block, it is good to know. See you tomorrow. Island Monkey talk the talk 17:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Fast Lane (song)
The article Fast Lane (song) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. This article has numerous issues, but I will give you the general seven days to fix these issues. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Fast_Lane_(song)/GA1 for things which need to be addressed. - Rp0211  ( talk2me ) 19:20, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Adding to Rp, Monkey, I have so far done most of the fixes but would you care to make sure they were done right? Please take your time, with the July 18 deadline in mind. Thanks! W IKIPEDIAN PENGUIN  (♫♫)  23:41, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Since all of the issues have been addressed, I put the article in good article status. For comments see: Talk:Fast_Lane_(song)/GA1. Congratulations and keep up the good work. - Rp0211  ( talk2me ) 02:07, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I was gonna ask WPP in the morning (well, morning for Britain), but it appears it's been done over the BST moonlight. Island Monkey talk the talk 07:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Blocked as a sock puppet
You have been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet. –MuZemike 21:04, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

You may contest this block by adding the text below, but please read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Orphaned non-free image File:Nuspire-networks.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Nuspire-networks.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a template, along with your question, beneath this message.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 06:16, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Excuse me...

 * How has ArbCom got to do with this? I have had no trouble with ArbCom. Island Monkey talk the talk 14:33, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Checkusers say you're a sock. If you want to be unblocked, you'll need to make your case to ArbCom. 28bytes (talk) 18:14, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Will do. Island Monkey talk the talk 18:16, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Goodbye
Hey, before I go, I would like to clarify a few things. Number one is that the sockmaster isn't Special Cases but User:Unclebert10. And secondly, you've missed a treasure full of other socks (see Sockpuppet investigations/Alacante45). 109.145.183.52 (talk) 11:12, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Read and understood. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:36, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Goodbye :'(
It was nice to see an experienced vandal fighter here. I understand your frustration about being blocked. Don't worry about it. Understand that you have been among one of the best vandal fighters I have ever met. I nearly had a heart attack when I found out you had been indefinitely blocked from editing.

I still will not refuse to award you a last barnstar:

Always best regards to you, and good luck in the future.

Arbitration Committee appeal
The Arbitration Committee has carefully considered your appeal and has declined to unblock at this time.

You may re-apply to have your ban reviewed again in six-months' time. There is no automatic entitlement to an unban, however, so you will need to provide us with good reasons why we should do so. Additionally, we would expect to see evidence of insight into the conduct that caused the problems in the first place as well as commitment to changed and well-controlled behaviour. Clearly, six-months trouble-free editing on another wikiproject (for example, Commons or Wikiversity) would count in your favour at a later appeal.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Logo-pgl.gif)
Thanks for uploading File:Logo-pgl.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
