 * Thank you very much again! --Oxymoron83 18:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Hurry
Please block the user who vandalised you! That user is making rampant vandalism edits on many pages! Navnløs 18:57, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * He received a final warning for the nazi edit to my talk page and made no edits since them. If he continues to vandalize after that, please report to WP:AIV, I'm no admin and therefore can't block anybody. --Oxymoron83 19:00, 31 October 2007 (UTC).

A quick note
Hello, I'm thebestkiano. You have probably come across me in your anti-vandalism work (I have many times!). This is a quick note to let you know that I am leaving Wikipedia due to being treated like sh*t my Admins. For details, see my talk page. Thanks for your help on Wikipedia, goodbye.

Vandalism by 195.195.14.1
Hi, About half a month ago, a user from IP 195.195.14.1 vandalised Huddersfield Town F.C.. I am a member of staff at Greenhead College and their account has now been blocked on our system. If you notice any further vandalism from this IP address, please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll see that their account is disabled. Regards [Jam][talk] 16:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your efforts. I will try to do that but can't promise it as ip addresses are hard to bear in mind :) --Oxymoron83 17:07, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

apologies
My most humble apologies for implicating you in the edit summary here. Serves me right for trying a shortcut with popups.... —EncMstr 18:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, we all sometimes have to try new things out here ;) --Oxymoron83 18:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry
Hey man im really sorry about all this my little brother was pressing buttons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.92.124.201 (talk • contribs)
 * Funny how it is always the little brother who is the one vandalizing. ^_^ Knowledge Of Self | talk  18:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm waiting for the first editor who is at least a little bit creative and claims it was the little sister ... --Oxymoron83 18:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I find it's not always the little brother who was the one vandalising.....sometimes it was the son or young sons(yes plural) as I was once told. :D AngelOfSadness  talk  18:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You can count yourself lucky, some variety prevents you from being bored. :) --Oxymoron83 18:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's true, variety is good. I'm just waiting for the day when someone blames their pet (real or imaginary) on their own vandalism edits and then finally I'll be able to say "Yes it must have been your unicorn that redirected the apple page to Weird Al and replaced all the images with smily faces". :D AngelOfSadness  talk  18:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * In all fairness for that excuse, my cat did walk across the keyboard once while I was editing an article. I removed the asinine additions she created before I saved. But what if she had done it while I was getting a drink and I failed to notice it until it was already saved?! :P Knowledge Of Self | talk  19:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * See now an excuse like that is believable and possibly happens every week to many pet owners all over the world. Its the people who blame their goldfish on edits like this. AngelOfSadness  talk  19:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's why I'm going to create a Category:Banned Wikipedia pets and List of banned pets now. --Oxymoron83 19:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL, just so you know, I've enshrined you in my personal Hall of fame right here. Knowledge Of Self | talk  19:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yay so my well thought out plan worked out perfectly then :P. I think a board should also be set up to fight pet vandalism called WP:Administrator intervention against pet vandals. AngelOfSadness  talk  19:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Great now I have to make an amendment to it!! :P Knowledge Of Self | talk  19:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Now you see what a vandal, claiming his little brother did the edits, is able to wreak ;) btw, funny subpage. --Oxymoron83 20:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey!
Hello there. You're doing some great work recently. I've bumped into you reverting vandalism 5 times this evening, you always get there before I do! Keep up the good work. You might see me around! Lunchscale 19:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Your reversion of my edit in the Porridge article.
The reason you left on my talk page was the following:

"When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page."

Odd that you didn't spot "Changed Gröd to Grøt. (Gröd is not Norwegian.)" in the history page. And what could be controversial about correcting obvious faulty grammar? Ö isn't even a Norwegian letter.

I'll be courteous enough to let you redo your own reversion.

60.240.143.88 10:27, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The reason for the revert was, as written at your talk page, that your edit removed [ more than half of the ] content from the article, probably accidentally. And your edit summary doesn't explain the removal, therefore my note was appropriate. --Oxymoron83 14:48, 7 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Apparently I was a bit hasty in my reaction. Since I seem to be in the wrong, I apologise.
 * 60.240.143.88 23:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, it doesn't matter so much. --Oxymoron83 13:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

 * (ec - answering to your extended comment) No IP will be blocked for one disruptive edit (except in unusual circumstances). But if there will be more vandalism edits from this IP, a block would be appropriate to protect Wikipedia. The good news is: If you create an account, you are able to continue editing although that IP might be blocked. --Oxymoron83 17:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Oxymoron83

Request for comment
Hi, I was wondering if you could take a look at a request for comment on the St Mark's College discussion page.

This is the result of an ongoing dispute and I think the more people we get to comment, the better chance we'll have of resolving the issue once and for all. You're comments would be much appreciated. Cheers. Username nought 12:37, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

User 76.29.23.218
Thanks for reverting this user's vandalism. If you notice his contributions, they are all vandalism. I tried to request a block, but the process wasn't clear to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Theteachersson 20:16, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Theteachersson
 * This user has stopped vandalizing after the level3 warning, so no immediate action is necessary. If he continues to vandalize, you should give a final warning (templates can be found here); if he vandalizes afterwards again and is active at the moment you detect these edits, you can report to WP:AIV: click on the 'edit' link right to the 'user reported' headline and you'll find an example.

Hello!
I copy the code into my monobook css but I don't have the "vandal fighter" that I use into the spanish wiki! Can you help to install it? Thanks! --RoyFocker 17:38, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * At the moment you only have the css — used to describe the style of document presentation — there. If you want the scripts, you may copy the content of Usuario:RoyFocker/monobook.js to RoyFocker/monobook.js. But this isn't recommended, as you probably will have Spanish edit summaries. You can take a look at WP:JS and assemble your own script collection. The most scripts (if not all) from the Spanish Monobook-Suite can be found there. You may like this multifunctional revert/tagging for deletion/reporting script, popups and Lupin/recent2.js. Alternatively you can try out this script collection. Instructions for installing can be found at the related pages; if you have questions, please ask again. --Oxymoron83 20:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Edit count tool
Hey! Loved that really nice edit count tool you cited. Just an "odd" question, curious if it counts "deleted" edits or not (those made to pages that have been deleted), which would probably account for the discrepancy between that count and my unofficial one. Heck of a lot better than the wannabe_kate! SkierRMH 08:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Originally I found it in a post from KnowledgeOfSelf. This also counts the deleted edits and equals the count at Special:Preferences. This tool shows more edits, don't know how this comes about. --Oxymoron83 08:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Pretty good for a sock ;)... I've been accused of being a bot before, so this is something new!! I just have to decide now who my alter ego is!  The possibilities are endless ;0)  SkierRMH 00:11, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering why you declined your previous RFAs as you were very qualified for adminship well before your current RFA started AF'US'CO 18:45, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

3RR question
I deleted unsourced material from Husbands and Knives and this user rvted it 3 times, i gave him the warnings (which he deleted off his talk page) what can be done to people that keep adding unsourced material. Can i be blocked for 3RR for deleting unsourced material? <font color="#f00">C <font color="#f60">t <font color="#ff0">j <font color="#090">f <font color="#00f">8 <font color="#60c">3  17:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Asking for sources is reasonable. Nevertheless you shouldn't revert once more. I put another 3rr warning on Tuntis' talk page with the request to add the sources and will watch the situation for now. --Oxymoron83 17:38, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If I may - insist on sources. While not strictly policy it, should be considered IMO. <font color="#151B8D">Knowledge <font color="#6D7B8D">Of <font color="#461B7E">Self | <font color="#461B7E">talk  17:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but you might want to give User:71.56.219.142 more time, as he will prob vandalize your page along with mine after the block expires as he did to Mr.Z-man <font color="#f00">C <font color="#f60">t <font color="#ff0">j <font color="#090">f <font color="#00f">8 <font color="#60c">3  01:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 3 days are ok for the second block; if he comes back, he will be reblocked. --Oxymoron83 01:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there a certain procedure to fallow when blocking? I've seen users block indef. on the first time and others that never do that, after extreme repeats, or is it just up to your discretion? <font color="#f00">C <font color="#f60">t <font color="#ff0">j <font color="#090">f <font color="#00f">8 <font color="#60c">3  01:21, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * See WP:BLOCK. It's not fully clear atm if this is a static ip, too less edits. To triple the lenght of the previous block is appropriate in this case. IPs are generally not indef blocked (excluding WP:OP). Again: The IP can be reblocked, if it will be back. --Oxymoron83 01:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * so if i see that use vand again, can i give them a final warning, the first time after the block? <font color="#f00">C <font color="#f60">t <font color="#ff0">j <font color="#090">f <font color="#00f">8 <font color="#60c">3  01:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, better a 4im-warning; and adding "Vandalism directly after release of block" or something like that to the AIV report would be excellent. --Oxymoron83 01:41, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Missing headline 2
Hey, I got a note from you mentioning that I had edited the page about H. L. Mencken. In fact, I have not even visited this page. This must be a problem with shared IP's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.181.12.116 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 19 Nov 2007

Thank You A Lot!
I was accessing wikipedia from school, and someone (Deathtotheinternet) deleted a page. I know who it is its a known hacker so you should consider blocking or freezing that account. Thank yo for lifting the ban, do you know of any ways to access Wikipedia from a school computer with a different IP then the rest of the school? It would be appreciated if you had any information. Again thank you for lifting the ban. One last question, is there anyway I could get into a "class" or training or anything to become an editor and fixer like you are for Wikipedia? I hate people like deathtotheinternet, its an extreme nusince(SP?).

Thank You Very Much,

3RR
Hi, sorry, but it is not a 3RR case, it is an obvious vandalism.  ≈Tulkolahten≈ ≈talk≈ 01:11, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * He is also a banned troll. He's been doing this since at least february, and has accumulated no less than 8 blocks on various IPs since then. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No obvious vandalism. Do you have any links that confirm the 'banned troll'? --Oxymoron83 01:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * He is removing short-form of the name of the republic. It is an obvious vandalism, it's not a disagreement.  ≈Tulkolahten≈ ≈talk≈ 01:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * (ec)It all began with this incident back in february, for which (along with general incivility) was blocked. My first encounter with this user was in September with . His contributions were marked by general incivility, and a penchant for edit warring in place of even the slightest amount of discussion. He was blocked twice for these actions. He hopped around several other IPs in the 71.99.xxx.xxx range from then until now, accumulating another 7 blocks for roughly identical edits. I refer to him as a banned troll because most admins who have seen my reports of him have blocked him on sight. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * A link to that IP user page when reporting would be fine. As the long retention period at AIV has shown, I'm not the only admin who hasn't heard about that. --Oxymoron83 01:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Veeramanidasan
Hi Oxy, this is regarding Veeramanidasan wikipage which was recently getting vandalize by a person. It seems like you declined my requests which is quite shocked to me. As i mention, the user did not provide enough justification and reference. Since the page is contributed for a Living Person, the biography that i added was also re-edited to a talk page sentence which is totally out of sence. I have advised the user on the wikipage talk not to violate futher on the edits after a few edit warning, i requested for a page protection and its been declined by you. Please advise how i should proceed futher. I do not want to start edit war with the user and hoping to come to a conclusion. Your advise is highly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Killerserv (talk • contribs) 04:27, 20 Nov 2007
 * Not to start an edit war is a good idea. If you don't come to a conclusion at the discussion page, I advise to make a demand on WP:RFC or WP:RFM. I think you both are rational enough to resolve this problem without a page protection and an user block. And please sign your talk page contributions. --Oxymoron83 04:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Protecting 'Causes of the 1948 Palestinian exodus'
Hi,

Can you explain on its talk page why you protected this article?

There is some edit warring going on, but not very heavy (for the standards of this article). Also I am a participant in a mediation case, but that concerns actually only the use of one source on this page, and is irrelevant to the present edit warring.

Therefore I was wondering about your motivation.

Regards, --JaapBoBo (talk) 22:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I've protected the article as an uninvolved admin due to the recent precipitance in reverting without prior discussion. A couple of editors are involved, you too. The page protection has been requested at WP:RFPP. Please add issues to be mediated to the mediation page or find consensus at the talk page. Thanks --Oxymoron83 23:27, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Port Adelaide Football Club
You do not seem to understand what goes on on this site. It is regularly edited by fans of the opposing team in Adelaide. They spend considerable time trying to tarnish the tradition of Port Adelaide and making sure poor performances are highlighted. Why is it neccesary to highlight the losing score of the 2007 grand final? Why is there so much rubbish about the 2007 heritage round. This is one round that is played every year by all 16 clubs but is only highlighted on the Port site because the Crows fans want to take a cheap shot at Port.

In 2007 Port finished 2nd of 16 after finishing 12th the year before. This is an improvement rarely seen in AFL football. However due to biased unfavorable editing, 2007 on Wikipedia basically carries on about a couple of old players views of the heritage round and the large loss in the grand final.

If you google other famous sporting events for the largest loss in the final you have to dig deep to find what the score was. Googlr the AFL grand final and all you get is the myriad of posts by crows supporters.

 * Hello Steve, I understand your position, but you disagree with several other editors, so I protected the page for some days to cool things down a bit. I can see only 2 edits on the article's talk page from you; please try to find consensus there. After the protection has expired, you can edit the page again, but please don't continue to make the same changes without discussing first. --Oxymoron83 01:14, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the abuse on my editor review page! I regarded this as an entirely unacceptable personal attack / death threat, and have indef blocked accordingly.

well instead of just deleting it straight away, you could have at least sent a message or something letting me know where im going wrong. for a moderator you lot arent very helpful. it just seems like none of you have anything better to do other than racing each to see who can delete articles before anyone else does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hobbyhorses (talk • contribs) 16:46, 22 Nov 2007

Vinxx socks
One last thing on, User:Vinxx appears to be the puppet master and was blocked yesterday but only for 72 hours. This was before all of the socks. I just wanted to bring this to your attention to determine if the block should be extended. It does not matter to me, I was just patrolling new users, but I thought I would bring it to the attention of an admin. Regards.--12 N oo n 20:20, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I blocked as a 'slap on the wrist'. Edits like this are generally full of emotion, and I didn't want to appear biased. If the user is now using socks, however, perhaps a longer block is in order. I was hoping a 72 hour block would dissuade him or her from making charged edits again - obviously not! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 20:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Now not only are you not reporting vandals for me to block, you're blocking those that are reported before I can. I think that's rather mean ;-).

Seriously though, keep up the good work. WjBscribe 06:24, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe, thanks. But the following week, when my vacations are over, you can increase your blocking count again :) --Oxymoron83 06:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

vandal
Hi - I saw you gave a short block to just now for vandalism - I  just looked at his edits and reverted more vandalism  by him, and this appears to be the same user as  who was blocked a few minutes ago for vandalizing the same articles as this IP just vandalized - one page he vandalized is User:Malik Shabazz - Malik Shabazz had warned GoMJ1234 about GoMJ1234's vandalism and he retaliated by vandalizing Malik's page; same thing for the IP. Personally, I'd recommend a longer block for the IP than 3 hours - it's clearly a vandalism-only editor. Just thought I'd bring the specifics to your attention. Tvoz | talk 08:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've seen that he used that other account before, that's why I've blocked although he didn't vandalize after the level4 warning. But it's an AOL-IP, that changes every some minutes; what means (if that WHOIS is updated), he/she will have another IP soon, and possibly another user who will have been assigned this IP will be blocked for nothing. --Oxymoron83 08:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I just found out, that these 172.128.0.0/10 —AOL-IPs are "normal" shared IPs now (WP:AOL), what however doesn't change anything on the block length. --Oxymoron83 08:22, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah - I hadn't looked at the IP details. This is a recurring problem that we really need to find a solution for - the vandals get away with it because we don't want to cause collateral damage - I understand the logic of that, but it's frustrating.  Thanks for the reply. Meanwhile, I have the pages he's vandalized on my watchlist, and won't be surprised if he attacks mine or yours as this is his pattern. Tvoz | talk 08:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * There are also page protections and range blocks as a last resort ;) --Oxymoron83 08:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately it was the most recent clean version I could find, sometimes it's amazing how keen these editors can be to make loads of vandalistic edits at once. Sometimes it's easier simply to revert all IP edits at once. Bobo. 01:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Reference help
Hi oxymoron83. I created the page Thaddeus Griffin, who is peter Griffin's brother from the tv show family guy. I have a list of references about his family (one of the sections is a list) here. But! For some reason it is not allowing me to cite the info. Could you help me with citing his family members, and because I have them all here it shouldn't take any longer than about 10 mins.

Thanks a lot;

Cf38 (talk) 13:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't get what you want to do/how I can help you. What info do you want to cite; is this a syntax problem? --Oxymoron83 14:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Take a look at the article; It contains a section about his family. A few of the members do not have a wikipedia page, but a bio on Family Guy's 'wikia' page; So, I wanted to put links (refs) about these members linking to the site with the charecters bio's on.(this is the site)

thanks,

Cf38 (talk) 14:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I think I got it. But a wikia isn't what falls under a reliable source, better you look for another "official" source. --Oxymoron83 14:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

But because of the nature of the section I wrote (his whole family) that would be extremley difficult to find. Cf38 (talk) 14:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Basiclly it's probably the only site with his whole family on. even family guy's official site does'nt have any bio's, and without the citing, the article may be deleted.
 * I also wasn't able to find another source; but a reference to a Wikia won't help you in a deletion discussion (it's the same as if there were no source). Are you sure this character is notable at all? There has to be some real-world information. If you find sourced real world information, notability should be established, this is imo more important as to source the character list. --Oxymoron83 14:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm wondering about a user who says when their account is created, that they "will also nominate users for Adminship if they are worthy." (no mention of AfB). All very odd. Tonywalton | Talk 01:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I wondered about the same; also I think such nominations should be made by established users. My decline was nevertheless for another reason and would have been the same independent of the nominator. --Oxymoron83 08:52, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
