User talk:Pilotguy/Archive9

You are out of line
Hello, you recently deleted an article about the website www.greasymoose.com citing the guidelines for notability. Well, you had absolutely no right to delete that article because it met the guidelines for notability, specifically it passed number 3 by having its archive displayed on its Dedicated section (meaning the author of the animations could not create such a dedicated section, a section like that has to be created by the management of newgrounds which is independant of anyone who is merely hosting their animation on newgrounds) on newgrounds.com. Also it won an award from the brisbane fast film festival for the animation angry dog (http://www.biff.com.au/general/content.aspx?code=84) and I wasn't able to get the link at the time, because people actually need to sleep too. So there, I met the criteria, now I demand that you undelete The Greasy Moose article immediately.

Heh, "I make mistakes, deal with it", you're damn right I'm going to deal with it...

Unblock request
Could you please unblock User:Afrika paprika? I think he deserves a probation period, if not, than at least because of User:Hipi Zhdripi. Notify me, please. --PaxEquilibrium 22:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course I understand. I just think personally that it was a little too harsh. Anyway, I am launching a movement in an attempt to ban banning from Wikipedia. Perhaps, I hope, that will be an official policy one day. I'm thinking of launching a temporary/transitional WikiProject to start balloting it. Are you interested, at chance? --PaxEquilibrium 23:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Apologies
Apologies, Pilotguy. I didn't check the block log - I was just RC patrolling trying to be helpful, but now I'll avoid overdoing it. Thanks! --SunStar Net 00:36, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

FYI, WP:AIV and WP:ARV
Just an FYI, but this edit broke compatibility with ARV. That's why you see a few of us going "I'm not a bot" in the history. Though sometimes I do wake up in the morning feeling rather odd. Perhaps I am a bot... -- Gogo Dodo 06:25, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Administrator intervention against vandalism
Hi. You removed my and other posting on the board, saying, "Take it to ANI." What is ANI? Thanks. :-) Nightscream 05:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay. By what criteria is vandalism judged to be blatant? This guy insulted other editors and the article's subject, removes the accompanying photo, does not engage in dialogue, has been repeatedly warned and blocked, etc.  Is there a page that describes blatant vs. non-blatant vandalism?  Thanks.  :-)  Nightscream 15:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. As aforementioned, he's been repeatedly warned on a dozen of his user pages, and on at least two of them (63.164.145.198 and 207.200.116.138), there is a long list of warnings and blocks that far exceeds four. Thanks again. Nightscream 14:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Deletion summaries
Hi, I have noticed that you often provide only a very short abbreviated deletion summary when you delete pages (like "a7" "nn-bio" and similar). Please keep in mind that most users do not know all of Wikipedia's speedy deletion criteria by heart. Please consider providing a brief "plain English" explanation without relying exclusively on "CSD jargon". Additionally linking to the relevant criteria so people can read it in full can also be useful, for example. This will help a "layperson" better understand why something was deleted when looking at the deletion log.

Most browsers have a autocomplete or other "form filling" features that allow pre-prepared boil plate texts to be inserted into web forms with just a few keystrokes. This is useful for inserting detailed deletion summaries without having to type out the same things over and over. Please consider looking into it. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 15:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, the rest of us are doing it, why are you singling me out? Is it that hard to remember the criteria for speedy deletion with one letter and number? // Pilotguy (Cleared to land ) 23:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Pilorguy!

The IP address 87.29.89.217 has been vandalizing and being perfectly useless and unproductive.

Some of his edits:
 * Vandalism 1


 * And Number 2

These aren't silly things, it is perfectly ridiculous.

Can you please take the appropriate action against this person/people?

Thank-You,

Hi. I'm slightly confused by the "no consensus" decision on this deletion debate. I counted it as 7-3 in favour of deletion (7-2 if you don't include the template creator), which I thought would qualify as a consensus? JW 17:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry about that weird "rvv" on your userpage. I swear, recent changes DID say an IP recently edited the page, and when I checked the diff, the person had blanked the page and said something about pilots. &mdash;The Gr e at Llama talk 18:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Did you block 207.245.40.134 or not?
Hi. I filed a block request this afternoon for IP 207.245.40.134. You indicated that your action was to block that IP, but you made no reference to a block on that IP's talk page. Maybe I'm just missing something, or maybe you just forgot to do that? Can you respond here (and on the user's talk page, if applicable) to let me know. Thanks. Wolfchild 03:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I blocked that IP... it's a school IP with nothing but vandalism so why would they care anyway? // Pilotguy (Cleared to land ) 13:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks, but you still haven't completely answered my question. You never (and still haven't) noted the block on the IP's user page. Unless I'm mistaken, you are 100% required to do so when you issue a block. Basically, I just think it is time for people to stop being so lenient with this IP (issuing tons of warnings before requesting a block) and maybe by seeing two previous blocks listed, people will toughen up a little more on this IP. Thanks. Wolfchild 17:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

That's very silly to do, considering it's a six month block on a school. Besides, no one's complained about me not doing so until now. They could care less anyway, it's a school. // Pilotguy (Cleared to land ) 22:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I am pretty much totally missing the point you are trying to make. Call me stupid, I guess. ;)

I just read the block log. It is only now that I see the block you placed is in effect for one month.

My only point is that, if students continue to vandalize Wikipedia after this 1 month block expires, I will want the school to be blocked the for a longer period next time (and eventually permanently if it continues from there). Do Wikipedia admins not base the block they are issuing at least partly on the length of the previous block? If so, do they investigate the length of past blocks (including this 1 month block) in some way other than looking at the user's discussion page?

Please make your response as clear as possible. I think maybe you are assuming that I know more about Wikipedia block policy than I actually do. Thanks Pilot. Wolfchild 04:39, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University
Hi Pilotguy.

Look, I am going back in to contribute to the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. I have agree fine to work the citation the dominant contributor and follower Riveros11 is proposing. Much of my edit is in paraphrasing untidy verbatim copy and paste quotation into neater prose.

You blocked on the basis of accusation by Riveros11 of "not being willing to discuss changes". Wiki records will show that I instigated both a Request for Mediation and a Request for Arbitration with Riveros11 but on both occasions he refused to participate. Two admins have cited Wiki policy of allowing self-published material which the other editor refuses to accept. I have even accept using the academic citation he suggests but am still subject to skillfully crafted ad hominen attacks by this member of the religious group in question. Please see discussion pages. It is laughable that I am the one being accused on not being willing to discuss!

So easy on that trigger finger until you have a better overview of what is really going on. Riveros11 seem to have sussed out the miracle of slapping Vandalism warnings on anyone that questions his world view. 195.82.106.244 01:54, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

139.142.135.106
Hey Pilotguy, You recently declined the un-blocking of 139.142.135.106. The IP is registered to my school, and I had to log out in order to be known as 139.142.135.106 and edit the talk page. It wouldn't let me post the request when I was logged in. About a month ago, some grade nines at CSS were vandalising the CSS page, and I had the AP deal with those students, and according to our techy guy, only 2 requests in the past month have been made to edit wikipedia, both from my laptop (which I take with me and connect at school). I would like to contribute and just manage my page from school, yet I can't do so because of the imposed block. Could you please lift the block off the IP, or atleast give a valid reason as to why the block should stay?? Thanks for your time, Ard0 04:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * There were some vandals at my school, so I requested that the IP be blocked. It was then blocked by Theresa Knott. The vandals stopped vandalising after the AP at my school dealt with them, and I wasn't allowed to edit due to the block. Thanks for understanding, Ard0 20:22, 25 November 2006 (UTC) PS: I'll let you know if you need to re-block the IP.

Thanks!
Persistent little vandal...it seems really important to him to get that one silly sentence into Common Era. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 19:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Reminder
Hey Pilotguy:

Just a small reminder: I noticed you delisted Requests for adminship/Me and my robot from RFA; don't forget when you delist an RFA to either close it out, or better yet, notify a bureaucrat so we can close it out. Once they're delisted from RFA we're unlikely to see them to close them out. Thanks! <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  03:50, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

3RR Warning
Why did you give me a 3 revert rule warning for the Galactus page? I was simply reverting a persistent vandal, a topic we are also addressing on the discussion board. Manssiere 04:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I (and I mean this in a non-offensive way) have to agree here and say that this was a tad premature. I had just opened a discussion as per someone's suggestion and was about to respond to the comments when I saw that I was blocked. Truth be known, I did not make three blind reverts but in fact added information every time. I did not think this was grounds for a block - only 3 blatent flip-flops in 24hrs. As to the edit - all the relevant material is still there. I simply rewrote it and culled some of the POV paragraphs. I'm not a vandal as I have enriched the article by adding references for new readers so as they can source the stories.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Regards

The guy you indef-blocked has made his re-emergence under the same IP as 89.172.7.166. You might also notice that he has exposed himself, 194.152.217.129 being yet another sockpuppet, seen at Talk:Pagania's history - the two continue their posts.

Wish to recuse myself of a template deletion that already occured
Hi Pilotguy, for this template [ I had voted to keep the template.  However a person on the other side of the debate launched a Checkuser case on me, with evidence which I feel is inconclusive.  Elalan the other wikipedian who was caught in the mess volunteered to do a checkuser on himself and me.  Here is the case:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Elalan.  The checkuser raises further lingering doubts, so I would sincerely like to recuse myself of the vote and unduely impact Elalan's credibility.  I feel this is the honorable thing to do.
