==He does not seem to be getting it== All 18 edits were him, including the IP edits which were obviously him too. O Fenian (talk) 23:08, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I would assume so. I have just explained (the bottom section) what I am planning to do if he carries on the same way. O Fenian (talk) 23:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * He is now using his talk page as the article. O Fenian (talk) 23:39, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

What is a drive-by tag?
A drive-by tag is a tag left by an editor on an article without any followup discussion or attempts to improve the article. Stating that there is a concern with an article without specifically articulating to other editors what that concern is or attempting to actually improve the article. Tagging articles in this manner is about as helpful as graffiti, imho. Dlabtot (talk) 15:56, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

So now you can stop saying "I don't know what a drive by tag is". You could also respond to me and tell me how you think any article you tag could be improved. The talk page for each article is the appropriate place for doing so. Dlabtot (talk) 16:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the tags are pretty clear as to their meaning (plain English and all that). Dismissing the edits of others as "drive by" or "graffitti" is very unhelpful I have to say. WikiuserNI (talk) 09:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If you aren't willing to discuss your edits, it is going to be hard to be a productive member of the Wikipedia community. Dlabtot (talk) 21:19, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, been round too long, edited too much, spoken to too many people to take that seriously. Really. WikiuserNI (talk) 19:35, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice to see you!
Would love to hear the story about your name change sometime! Seriously, wanted to congratulate you on sticking to the book and getting your point across with Patton (film) using established forums and methods. Having recently dealt with a very difficult situation with another editor, our interactions don't seem so bad. -OberRanks (talk) 00:05, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * There's a record kept of all account name changes. And I'm not sure what was so bad about our exchanges, not from my own point of view at least. WikiuserNI (talk) 10:23, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia's a strange ass place...
...to people unfamiliar with the higher rigors of academia. Makes me wonder what effort goes into Britannica. 74.240.224.193 (talk) 04:16, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Having worked in a university, it always disappointed me to hear how many students copied wholesale from Wikipedia... WikiuserNI (talk) 10:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Never ending story
Could you possibly second my request at User talk:80.3.142.174, that way another request for comment can be filed for the same problem only with a different editor. Thanks. O Fenian (talk) 16:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually due to another edit made I believe it is Ryan kirkpatrick evading his block. O Fenian (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Klaatu barada nikto article
Hello, WikiuserNI. Comgrats on making reviewer status. I noticed that you and Eldar seem to be maintaining the Klaatu barada nikto article. I would like to improve the article and have made some proposals on the talk page Talk:Klaatu barada nikto/Archive 1. I would very much like to get your input on the proposed changes. Thanks. - Hydroxonium (talk &#124; contribs) 14:49, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello again, WikiuserNI. I am almost finished updating the Klaatu barada nikto article and will be submitting it for reassesment in the near future.

A well deserved Barnstar
I hope you have a good vacation. We will miss your help here at Wikipedia. I also must thank you kindly for your help with the Klaatu barada nikto article. Your insight and encouragement is appreciated very much. Thanks. - Hydroxonium (talk &#124; contribs) 15:13, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, all in a day's editing. And thanks too for the recent edits to the KBN article.
 * I'm actually just back from my break, I should remove the banner from my user page too, lol. WikiuserNI (talk) 15:19, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

OS
I wouldn't recommend this line of action, it's a blockable offense to repeat any outing information that was Oversighted. Repeat the offense and I will have have you blocked. Dreadstar ☥  00:52, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well then perhaps you might not show it again. You deleted it twice, the first time with an edit summary that said it wasn't personal information that would lead to an outing. I was after all, assuming good faith and taking your word for it... WikiuserNI (talk) 01:00, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry, I haven't seen much WP:AGF from you, so my apologies Just let me repeat: " Repeat the offense and I will have have you blocked."'  Ok?  Dreadstar  ☥  01:49, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * And just let me reiterate; when an admin reintroduces material to a talk page and labels the edit as not related to an outing, then deletes it without any further reason, it is reasonable to take them at their word and view the material as just that, not related to an outing.
 * No offence took place, an admin was taken at their word and they should not take it out on those who did so. Perhaps a clearer edit summary is needed in future when taking admin actions? WikiuserNI (talk) 01:57, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I so look forward to your outing-defense argument next time you mention my mistake and try to re-introduce the personal information I mistakenly added. Dreadstar ☥  02:12, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That's the point though, you never said until this entry on my talk page, that the material you had deleted for a second time was something that could be used to out anyone. It was used in a manner befitting the edit summaries that you gave the deletions. If you did report me for this "incident", then I certainly could point to your edit summaries as a reason for using that "personal" material again. If it was a mistake, then it was yours and not something you should be taking out on other editors.
 * Besides all of which, I don't even know why I would out you? If it results in a banning, why would I? Does it make the article any better? Hardly. WikiuserNI (talk) 02:23, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought you didn't like me. :( Dreadstar  ☥  02:43, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, but your somewhat hyperactive attitude to talk pages does make it hard to have a reasonable discussion. WikiuserNI (talk) 09:29, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

HAH!!!!
If you knew anything about Star Trek fans or ST history, you'd realize that your life is in danger from adding this parody. Lordy do I remember the absolute hell Shatner went through for that one. Ah, maybe time have changed. LOL! Oh, ADD this "parody" too, you'll be sure to win friends and incfluence people: I Am Not Spock ROTFL!! 02:12, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * One fan to another, I think you're trying a little too hard. WikiuserNI (talk) 02:25, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, me too, you. I have no stake in that SNL skit....except it was the best thing in SNL/ST that I ever saw.  No one at the following six conventions that I attended, could hold in their enthusiasm and the screenings were so full that....well, no one could have even transported into it.  Instant.  Cult.  Classic.  There's nothing really more or less that can be said. Sources I think I have I'm just awating a copy so I can scan  and upload it....with pictures and arrows....maybe some words on the back...I dunno.  Or maybe my trusted contact will screw me and I'll have to remove it.  I meantime.....well..you just keep doing what you seem to do best  Dreadstar  ☥  02:51, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * What I do best? Making articles... awesome! Thank you, I will. WikiuserNI (talk) 09:04, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
