Vandal 124.104.*.* user is at it again...
Just now, I've discovered that the vandal using the range 124.104.80.0/20 is back, this time as and while he no longer vandalized the Pinoy Idol article, he did vandalize the same type of articles he liked to vandalize. He did the vandal edits at the following more or less four hours ago: ... as well as Maoster's userpage.

Just telling you this because it may be his first activity since the rangeblock expired about two weeks ago. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 14:12, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like he's using more IPs this time.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 05:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Won't you do something about this? BTW, the vandal might have also used the IP, but this one is blocked right now for a month and is now reported in WP:ABUSE, which may be the reason he came back to this range. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 07:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Primary range blocked for 3 months this time around.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 07:45, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Let's just hope something good comes with the other report on the other IP as it is now under investigation. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 08:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Anonymous users
Okay, I personally think that anonymous users shouldn't be allowed to make edits on this site. Seriously. A lot of them are vandals and are people that think its funny to make silly edits, like the recent one done in the "List of Kamen Rider Kiva episodes" page. Although, there are a few anonymous users that make sensible edits.

What do you think about this? And do you think anonymous users should not edit Wikipedia in case this happens again? --Burai (talk) 08:41, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * There are some users who shouldn't be allowed to edit if they continually vandalize, but this is not the fault of all users who edit without logging in.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 20:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

DRV
An IP editor didn't inform you that he has taken your Rolando Gomez deletion to DRV. Also, not sure if you are aware, but it was actually kept a couple of years ago at AfD...(not sure how) --SmashvilleBONK! 17:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Can i ask you you something? Dark Kiva and kiva are the same right?

Proposed deletion of Power Rangers: RPM
The "source" from Australia never uses the term "RPM"; this is purest speculation. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  01:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've reworded the sentence preceeding it. The article is about the next Power Rangers series. Darville is part of the cast. The US Patent Office's website has six different trademarks registrations for a "POWER RANGERS RPM." None of the article is in any way speculative now.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 01:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Civility
You and I are butting heads over that one article, but it's been quite civil all along; thank you. Take a look at the recent assault on my talk page, for a contrasting example of how not to participate in this project! -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  03:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm
To explain the reversions on the page tonight, Drmikeh49, who appears to be a new-ish editor still learning the ropes, contacted me to let me know that they were actually doing some constructive edits (I reverted one after seeing no edit summary). I think the edits were legit unless I'm missing something. Pinkadelica (talk) 07:26, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The protection of the page is IMO not legitimate. One editor was attempting at improving the article and I do not see an attempt at POV, the editor had only started a simple copyedit. Protection is a very harsh tool to use for a mere perception of new editor who made ONE edit without an edit message?! Please remove protection. Pages with weekly vandalsim are not even lock-protected, merely protected against anons and newly-created users. --Shuki (talk) 23:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

The page is protected because people were edit warring. Regardless of who was right or wrong.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 23:40, 13 September 2008 (UTC)


 * That's simply not true, unless this edit warring has been mysteriously removed from the history. Two stupid bots, and one somewhat legitimate rv (though lack of AGF) is not an edit war. There was not even any blood. The article is not even a hotly disputed page. I suggest you remove the protection and look for other pages that have daily issues like Hot and Yes. --Shuki (talk) 17:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I thought I saw edit warring because there were a lot of reverts on that one page. I am not going to unprotect the page. Figure out what you want and when the article is unprotected automatically, make those changes. Or you can go to WP:RFPP.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 20:30, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * That's a weird attitude from an admin of all users. So now it might seem as if your point is too now keep that cooling off period for that editor to max you decided. Nonetheless, thank you for pointing me to that page. --Shuki (talk) 22:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Why did you block this user indefinitely without giving a reason? Follow this link:. I see you blocked his/her Wikipedia E-mail as well. Marcus2 (talk) 21:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Just glancing at it, the editor made five edits, all of which were either vandalism (inserting his own name into articles, apparently) or personal attacks. Dayewalker (talk) 21:10, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Still not an excuse to not give a reason for blocking, or to not give a notification that the user has been blocked indefinitely, leaving the user with a request for unblocking, whatever that template may be. Marcus2 (talk) 21:27, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Warning a blatant vandal or notifying the user that he is blocked is not a requirement.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 23:39, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

FYI
FYI. Seems routine, but thought it was worth mentioning. Carcharoth (talk) 21:55, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation at AN. I saw the "compromised" template and assumed it was someone getting an old password or something. Maybe someone could come up with a "global account compromised" variant template, if that's not too much of WP:BEANS. I'm assuming the usual processes meant to stop this kind of thing failed because the LarrySanger account was so old (February 2001)? Has anyone pointed this out to the developers (about very old accounts)? Or am I missing something again? Carcharoth (talk) 04:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

What Girls Learn (lifetime movie)
Hi, this redirect was the result of my moving the page from this title to the version without disambiguation, but I don't understand why you have deleted it - surely it's reasonable to leave the redirect from the former title of the page? PamD (talk) 07:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I deleted the article in question. The AFD it was from was closed improperly, and as an administrator, I saw that there was no consensus to keep so I implimented the proper closure.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 07:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Austinleal
Ryulong, I think that your close of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Austinleal did not reflect a consensus, or rough consensus, of the debate. The lack of consensus to delete was not overriden by policy, including WP:NOT#WEBHOST which you cited, as it does not apply to this case. Would you comment please? WP:UP is currently silent on this situation. Should it be changed? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It reflected the consensus as did the other three similar MFDs. Is there anything Wikipedia gains or loses by having these five pages deleted? No. If MZMcBride hadn't brought them to MFD, they would have been deleted and no one would have cared.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 19:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "they would have been deleted and no one would have cared". Are you telling me that user pages are, or can be, speedily deleted.  Which CSD criteria would apply?


 * The question I asked concerned the the AfD debate. I don't think your close reflected the consensus, but represented an agreement with one side of the debate.  I think you need to explain why opposing arguments were discounted.  Is there anything lost by deleting such pages?  I don't want to repeat what's already said in the AfDs, or in this one in particular.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

pissed off
Would you stop deleting true articles like dark kiva. It really makes me mad. Plus, how come you are on almost everyday every hour. Should'nt you be sleeping?

Negabandit86 (talk) 21:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Stop making articles that have no references. Then I'll stop deleting them.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 21:04, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with that there is a "Dark Kiva", with the only reference being a toy promo of Kivat II, but don't claim that that's Otoya, especially since recent events are pointing that the previous Kiva to be Taiga's father. But until that revelation is revealed(near #40?), this info should be leave alone for now. Fractyl (talk) 00:18, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Request for an apology
Hello. I would like to request an apology from you regarding the overly harsh warning (diff 1 and diff2) to block me for using NAC to close AfDs. Whilst it is true that I made some mistakes; I was very new to the task and had asked for review of my actions and had taken no more actions in NAC when you came in (without checking the facts of the case) and gave me a harsh block warning. I have concerns about your ability to function as an administrator which have been made more serious by this, and this. Failing an apology, I would like to take this matter to MEDCOM. I also ask you to put yourself up for admin recall. Thank you Fr33kman talk APW 23:31, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ryulong is not an administrator open to recall, the Mediation Committee will not get involved, and demanding apologies is not the right way to go about things. Daniel (talk) 00:23, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Ryulong's warning was appropriate, and demanding recall (even if he were open to it) is not a good first step in dispute resolution. If you're going to take an admin action like closing a deletion discussion – and you know enough to cite WP:NAC – then you're no longer in a position to cry WP:BITE if someone calls you on a screwup.  Incidentally, canvassing a bunch of other editors  to publicize your recall request is also not kosher, and is apt to earn you another block warning. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 00:28, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Please AGF. I thought it was allowed as they had taken part in the prior two (also why I thought he was open to recall). I understand that is not the case, apologies to Ryulong and all involved. I referenced BITE because I was new to NACs. I guess I'm to make no further comments so I won't Fr33kman talk APW 00:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * AGF, I will, and you certainly are free to comment further; but I want to note that I do not recall taking part in any prior "recall" or similar discussion and if I did, it wasn't at the link you provided.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 01:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I am not going to go through a recall and I am not apologizing. And my warning still stands. Good night.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 02:11, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Worst DRV in the history of DRV?
I am absolutely boggled by the "User pages of users with only one edit – creating their user page" listing at Deletion review/Log/2008 September 16, it is probably the most insane case of bureaucracy gone wild that I have seen in more than four years as a Wikipedia editor and administrator.

Gekisou Sentai Carranger
I'm no stranger to the unused monster costume from Carranger, but are you aware of the source of the name "Ballinger Z" in the Carranger article? Pulled from some Japanese source I'm unaware of and can't read or original research? Take care, JPG-GR (talk) 00:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's the original edit - . Probably fan-created garbage. JPG-GR (talk) 00:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Yep, all of that is factual.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 03:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

What?
Excuse me, how was that improper? There's no where else where his name is spelled Jyunichi...and how does licensing for pics work?Invisible Noise (talk) 02:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Official profile says "Jyunichi" which is the actor's preferred spelling. That is always used on Wikipedia if it is known. And if you don't know about pictures, you shouldn't upload them.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 03:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Plus another question: how were my edits improper to the point of deserving a block? I clearly intended to help the wiki, not hurt it,and I was trying my best. So how does that justify a block? Not trying to start a fight, just asking.Invisible Noise (talk) 03:54, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:BOLD does not cover actions you have done. So long as you learn not to do what you did that was wrong, then you can edit Wikipedia.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 04:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What exactly did I do that was blockworthy? And what can I do to fix it? .— Invisible Noise ( Ω )Invisible Noise (talk) 07:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Notable Power Rangers editors
You have been listed in my subpage User:Mythdon/Power Rangers notable editors. How do you feel about this. Mythdon (talk) 09:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I feel that that page is entirely unnecessary to the production of an encyclopedia.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 21:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It is just a subpage of my personal opinions of who are notable Power Rangers editors of Wikipedia. It is not meant to give encyclopedic knowledge, but rather give editors an idea of who are the notable Power Rangers editors in my view. The users (including you) on that list seem like the most notable in terms of Power Rangers articles. Also, had RangerKing kept doing regular edits, I would have listed him in the list too. Mythdon (talk) 23:25, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, i now have "current" and "past" lists in the subpage. Mythdon (talk) 23:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Wherries
Hi Dragon,

I noticed that you deleted Wherries, which redirected to Wherry. "Wherries" is the appropriate plural form of "Wherry", so I was wondering why the redirect was deleted.

 * Hi Ryulong,

 * Actually, there is...The Ghost Imagin posessing Ryotaro in attacking the Taros and Hana, New Den-O coming to their aid, Kotaro's formal intro, then the start of the final fight. Plus, all the early promos state it is "Den-O's last time in theaters." Fractyl (talk) 00:22, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

When you told me on my talk page to stop suggesting unnecessary things (not that i think all of them are unnecessary) on Power Rangers and tokusatsu articles, are you also telling me to think longer and harder before making suggestions?. Mythdon (talk) 03:55, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

My Userspace
I agree with recent actions you took and have decided to keep my userpage to a minimal, but could you keep an old copy of my main page so that once I have more mainspace contibutions than other edits, I can maybe post it again. One last note, could you restore my sandbox as soon as you can, because I was working on the 2009 Seattle Mariners season article, but it got wiped out. Thanks!

King of Checkmate Four
Saga only goes for Taiga, the current King. Besides, as I see it, it's no different to Takumi Inui, who usually fights in Rider form. But the previous King is another story, though I'll agree with you that he has a Rider form as well. Fractyl (talk) 05:09, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

How the fuck can Demo's of possible themes of the series NOT be related to the article? Henshin86 (talk) 22:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

There is nothing in the article concerning the theme song, and there is nothing in any of the other articles, except for Power Rangers that even mentions the theme song. Especially because they're only "possible" themes.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 22:17, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

This has only appeared in one scan and not for the "Hyper Battle Video" but for something called an "Adventure Battle DVD."— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 23:42, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
