Just block him, he keeps on adding them.-- iGeMiNix / What's up? / My Stuff  02:39, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Done.  Tide  rolls  02:46, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * He is a rather odd editor, he does do constructive edits, however, his opinion on presidents with spamming userboxes could cause a problem if it happens again. Also it is just tedious to revert them lol.-- iGeMiNix / What's up? / My Stuff  02:48, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You should check out this talk page. Dude loves Regan.-- iGeMiNix / What's up? / My Stuff  03:24, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm rather fond of the old fart myself, but pushing that on others is just wrong. This is not the place for agendas.  Come here with an agenda and prepare for a frustrating, short visit.   Tide  rolls  03:26, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, I wouldn't know, all I know about him is what I learned in school and even then, American History is such a boring topic to me. Just wondering, can you even reappeal after your appeal was denied?-- iGeMiNix / What's up? / My Stuff  03:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * There is a limit to the number of times one can request unblock, but it is not a definite number. Eventually an admin will determine that the requests aren't addressing the block issue or are becoming disruptive.  At that point the user's talk page access is denied.  It's not a good situation but repeating a disfunctional cycle is a waste of time.  Also, I'm old so I remember Reagan...and his predecessor...and his predecessor...anyway, for a while back.   Tide  rolls  03:38, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I see, and wow, you can like be my pops or my grandpa then. XD-- iGeMiNix / What's up? / My Stuff  12:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I wasn't at the laying of the foundation for the pyramids or anything, but yeah...I'm old.  Tide  rolls  16:43, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey, do you mind checking out the user User:Nathanl1192, his contributions are rather odd, he sometimes act as he doesn't know how to do something and pretty much blanks out the user page of Soxbot. Also, he left a pretty dumb reason 1 for one of his edits.-- iGeMiNix / What's up? / My Stuff  19:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh look, he is back. User:129.78.32.22-- iGeM  iN  ix  02:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

my edits for Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences
I feel as though you unrightfully got rid of my edits. Albeit a bit of the edit might have gone a bit far, and I can take those out, or you can simply edit them out, but the rest was all legitimate from actual students, including myself, which is what prospective students and parents want to hear from. Also the last names might should be taken off or scrambled, except for mine, I will create a page about me, Andrew D Peterson(it will be necessary in the future when I am famous). thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohnoesmyfriends (talk • contribs) 02:42, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * You certainly have a right to feel as you want about my actions. I invite you to seek other opinions.  I've explained my revert on your user talk.  As for your proposed article here is some more suggested reading: WP:NOTCRYSTAL.  Regards  Tide  rolls  02:46, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

ok that makes sense I guess, but what about an article about myself, could I create it, If I only add facts about myself, not my own opinions, I will be famous one day and I feel a personal page would be great in the future, plus it would make for a great ice breaker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohnoesmyfriends (talk • contribs) 02:56, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok...so don't read it. Your choice.   Tide  rolls  02:59, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Ohhhh, ok, I think I get it now, so not until I am famous can I have my own article, because now it would be speculation(except of course the facts about me), ok, I suppose that makes sense, if one person is allowed their own page, everyone would be allowed one, and I don't guess the servers could handle 9 billion plus more articles about anyone who cared to have a page, i'm only a college freshman, so a lot of these big words are a bit much, I'm a computer nerd, not an english nerd. --Ohnoesmyfriends (talk) 03:12, 13 October 2010 (UTC)Ohnoesmyfriends

hi
hi tide rolls. wat does ur name mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.94.130.222 (talk) 00:42, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Block 69.78.133.73
Can you block 69.78.133.73 due to long-term abuse?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   23:50, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I already blocked him.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  23:51, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I saw it when I finally got there. Huggle has been burping on me tonite.  Good work, Eagles...good to have your help :)   Tide  rolls  23:55, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I desperately need someone to create an edit filter for this guy.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  23:57, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * User:Shirik is my go to guy for edit filters...if that helps.  Tide  rolls  23:59, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep up the good work fighting vandalism guys. Tide rolls, can you please review my account to see if I'm ready to become an administrator?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   00:02, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I will take a look at the end of my session tonite. I may not respond until tomorrow.   Tide  rolls  00:07, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay.  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   00:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

After reviewing your contributions it is my opinion that you are not ready for adminship. I state that bluntly because it is not a bad thing. You do good work and your efforts are valuable; one's user rights are simply tools and only marginally affect one's contribution. More important are one's passion for accuracy and one's ability to work within the framework established by policy and convention; I've seen you exhibit these qualities and have no reason to doubt your good intentions. I hope that you continue to learn and contribute positively here because we need your help. One thing you should keep in mind is that adminship is not a goal; I can appreciate your eagerness to help, though, so I'll offer some advice. Find some area of interest for you that will allow you to expand your contributions in the direction of content. Being a vandal-scrubber is a good thing but there are many, many other tasks that need attention. This may sound hypocritical because I do so much recent changes work; remember that I'm advising you based on the expectations of the community. 3,000 to 5,000 content developing edits convey that one is an accomplished encyclopedia builder; 100,000 automated edits (with few errors) indicates that one is an accomplished vandal fighter. The ratio of the numbers is practically meaningless. Also, I would say that you need to stop asking about adminship. In six to eight months of solid contribution your interest in candidacy could be explained for what it is, an eagerness to help. If you continue to ask for input on the subject, a perception could develop that you are seeking the tools for the wrong reasons. See ya 'round  Tide  rolls  17:42, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * See you later and where do you you guys need some help at?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   17:48, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * There is a collection presented here. Another option would be to ask editors on any of the WikiProjects that interest you what task(s) they think need attention.  Tide  rolls  18:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Rights
Can, you remove my rights? I am planning to retire editing here. Thanks.-- iGeM  iN  ix  00:48, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Of course I can, but I would want to be sure that is what you want. Do you want some time to reconsider?   Tide  rolls  01:55, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I am pretty sure, wasn't really into the whole wiki thing anyways, went on a week break before, and I think this time its going to be a long term one, I mean I will be on every now and then, but I don't think it is worth having the rights.-- iGeM  iN  ix  02:37, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll alter your user rights as requested. If you change your mind in the next few days, message me and I'll restore them.  Breaks are essential and I would certainly understand one taking advantage of them.  I just want you to know that your help is valued and I want to thank you for that.  See ya 'round   Tide  rolls  02:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I might be back next year, I don't know, only time will tell. Peace.-- iGeM  iN  ix  02:44, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I appreciate the heads up, Dave, but I am loathe to block a user without a direct cause. I will leave a note for Materialscientist, though, as he seems acutely aware of this user's activities.  See ya 'round   Tide  rolls  04:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Copy that, will let MS take care of the follow-ups then. Best. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 05:11, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * TR, per this edit, could you please disable the IP's own talk page accessibility? -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 08:03, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * TR, he's back at it again, is it possible to disable his talk page edit ability? -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 05:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Apologies, Dave. I wasn't around to see your message.  As you have seen, the matter has been addressed.  Tide  rolls  10:07, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

i deleted the page by mistake..
ok, i recovered the page i wrote. my request to you is, can you create a draft page for me. I don't know how to create a sub page.

Thank you.


 * I apologize for deleting the content. When an article creator blanks the page it is tantamount to requesting deletion.  You can find the content by clicking here.

Edit
Was this edit constructive?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   00:15, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Definitely not. However, the vandalism goes back several edits.  Fixed now.   Tide  rolls  00:17, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I know.  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   00:18, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Will you please revert this edit and this edit to the last version by this edit on my user talk page?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   00:26, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Your diffs are only showing me the edited [ages, not the edits themselves. You do know you are allowed to delete vandalism from your own user talk, right?  Tide  rolls  00:32, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I know that I could vandalism is that Huggle had difficulties and that's why I couldn't revert it and no it works again.  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   00:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, why don't you try Igloo?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   22:22, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I may try it. I find Huggle works so I'm not looking for a better tool.  We'll see.   Tide  rolls  23:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, and does reverting vandalism fast on Huggle depend on the computer and your connection speed?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   23:55, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sure those variables have some impact.  Tide  rolls  23:57, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, see you later.  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   23:59, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Barkhorn and Hilbert article reversions in error
Reversions made in Barkhorn article were in error because the German text deleted had already been used in the first paragraph. Enough IS enough: IMO we need little if any foreign language usage in any language wiki, and it is unencyclopedic to do so, but in any case one use per word/phrase article is ENOUGH!

You do not really think there are any English speakers who would rather read Schwert rittercruz (without tranlation 2nd time where I edited) more than once, do you?

As for the Hilbert article, an entire paragraph of foreign language 100% totally useless to 99.9% of all readers IS too much, and IS unencyclpedic, and should not be employed in English or any other languae wiki.

I request reversions be undone, and if your vanity is too great to allow you to do the obviously right thing, then please provide me with link to appropriate sectionS where I may (1) contest your unreasonable reversions, and (2) where I may try to start a discussion about the policy allowing gross overuse of foreign language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NCDane (talk • contribs) 18:02, 25 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok. In response to your "request" that I self revert. As far as I know, I've never edited the articles you reference.  However, you may contact any editor to review my actions.  If you have a specific complaint regarding my on-wiki actions, you may post at the administrator's notice board for incidents.  I would caution you, though, to familiarize yourself with the Wikipedia manual of style and the concept of diffs before posting there.  Now to the main point; I (and others) have explained to you many times that this project is centered on the concept of consensus.  If you are seeking an appropriate forum to voice your concerns, I would advise contacting other editors on the discussion page here: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style.  If you have more questions or concerns I will make myself available.  Regards   Tide  rolls  23:49, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

autoblock

Huggle errors
I don't know why Huggle continues to give those warnings saying that it has a problem and it needs to close. Why does this keep happening?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   00:39, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I got the same thing when I used to use it before I gave up the rights, which is partially why I enjoy using igloo more even though it is in beta. -- iGeM  iN  ix  00:41, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I know that, Huggle is starting to stop working on my PC, too. It keeps having problems. I tried Igloo for some edits and then I wanted to stay with Huggle instead because I always used Huggle.  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   00:43, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
