[edit] Proctor silex?
Why did you delete the Proctor silex page? ENTPfox 03:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Because of its nonsense content. And... seeing that you're just a new user, you might just be a sockpuppet...-- Tdxiang @ 03:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I can't even find the page he's talking about in the deletion log and don't have any recollection of it among the hundreds of cruft pages I delete each week... If you can give me any more info I will look into it Blockinblox 03:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- This is the page he's talking about. The current version starts with upper-case letters.-- Tdxiang Adminship 03:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Types of English
On the other EN, "correcting" British English to American English (or vice versa) is rather frowned upon, especially if it leaves a mix of both in the article. Is it really OK here to change some words from BE to AE, while leaving others BE?[1] Freshstart 17:28, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- That was the one. Now that I think about it, it's probably not as 'black & white' as color/colour or kilometer/kilometre. And I guess I can't really speak to common/colloquial usage in Britain, but I can't imagine a US school teacher accepting 'learnt' as a correct spelling, but I was led to believe that 'learnt' is what is taught in UK schools (like 'spelt')--I guess it's possible that's changed more recently. Anyway, it sounds like you are aware of the issue, and had reasons to change it anyway, so I won't worry about it (I actually like 'learned' better also, but I assume that is my personal bias based on living my entire life in the US). Especially on EN I've seen so many people "correct" the more concrete ones, like colour to color, that apparently I've developed something of a 'knee jerk' reaction to similar changes. Freshstart 19:13, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hello. Could you tell me what do you think about this version of Main Page?. Greets, --odder 18:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
PS. It's not my idea. I've just modified the polish Wiki Main Page.
[edit] Administrator
I'm happy to point out that, consensus being reached on Wikipedia:Administrators, you are now an admin. Make sure to review all the current policies. If you intend to use the "Block user" function, you must keep your email address current and check it often. The big thing to remember is not to use your abilities in any conflicts (editing or otherwise) that you're directly involved. Other than that, I'd suggest starting out slowly, and feel free to contact me or another admin if you have any other questions or just need a second opinion. Try to keep to the core values of Simple:, and remember that we aren't just another of EN: Wikipedia. -- Netoholic @ 06:22, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Congrats. Some indoctrination, huh? Just in time for today's serial vandal. Freshstart 06:30, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Blockinblox! I would like your comment on Wikipedia talk:Simple English Wikipedia#Policy issue because you are an administrator and the discussion is directly related to how Simple English Wikipedia is or should be run. It is also related to Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not, where I wouldn't mind knowing your opinion as well. Thanks! --Cromwellt|talk 20:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

- My apologies for asking you twice for the same comment. Just take that to mean that your comment is really important! :) Oh, and congrats on gaining admin status! I would've definitely voted for you, but I was occupied with other things at the time. --Cromwellt|talk 23:07, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Help
Should you need help with cleanup, I can get a temp sysop permission from one of the Stewards in order to help you. Let me know. --M7 14:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New main page
Hello Blockinblox. I've got a job for you. Could you unprotect the main page, please? I'll replace it with User:Odder/Main Page. We need to unprotect the Template:Wikitopics too, I'll add to this template some icons. Could you do it, please? Greets, 83.27.82.34 13:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, it was me odder 13:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- I certainly could unprotect the main page, but I don't feel I ought to go that far, without some higher authority to do so. Also, if it seems there is indeed a general agreement to replace them with the new pages, any admin could just replace them with the new copies, without even having to unprotect them. Blockinblox 13:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- I asked here. If you want to, do it yourself. I was going to ask Angela, but I saw you edited some articles, so I asked you. But you know, I would like to replace it myself :). odder 13:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My user page
...has been vandalised by User:68.147.251.201. Please block him or her per my requests; he or she has been warned before.
If I was an admin, I'd block that person for years on end. But for now, he or she needs really good talk up at Care-a-lot... --Slgrandson 03:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A major matter to deal with here...
I would apppreciate it if you could block whoever is responsible for creating those sockpuppet accounts to disrupt the project and my work:
- Maybe you all should try to protect the page and do an IP check
- So it took fifteen minutes, not 4 hours
- Another one to offend me while trying to stop him or her: Name withheld.
Now that same person's going to create more accounts, and it'll get much worse by dawn local time!
When I go to Wikipedia:Administrators, I will place my request so that my work can continue smoothly. In the meantime, please block the IP(s) of this user and warn them off. --Slgrandson 07:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] #vandalism-simple-wp
Forgive the spamming of admin talk pages, but I wanted to inform all the active admins that there is now a Counter Vandalism Unit IRC channel devoted to Simple English Wikipedia. If anyone is interest: #vandalism-simple-wp. -- Psy guy 16:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Capitalism
Why did you revert my edits and list it as minor? It would only be minor if it was vandalism, and it wasn't. Although I'm not a Marxist, to say his ideas do not work are POV, especially when many Marxists don't think his ideas were ever put into practice fully. I actually think his ideas don't work, but it is still POV to say that in an article. Anarchists (at least the vast, vast majority) oppose capitalism, and the ones that don't are often not viewed as part of the anarchist movement. The Ungovernable Force 18:27, 15 April 2006 (UTC)\
- I didn't mean to imply vandalism by marking 'minor', I thought this could be done for any revert... I know that most anarchists do oppose capitalism, and wasn't trying to revert that edit, as much as the deletion of "because Marx's ideas did not work"... But I see how that could be construed as pov, so maybe it would be more factual in light of what you pointed out above, to write instead "because Marx's ideas were never _made to_ work"...? Blockinblox 20:19, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, the minor is only for reverting clear cases of vandalism or fixing small grammatical or spelling errors. In fact, engaging in too many reverts is called an edit war, and that is definetely not minor. I like the idea of "because Marx's ideas were never made to work", that sounds fine. The Ungovernable Force 21:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiReader
Would you mind taking a look at my WikiReader proposal on Wikipedia:Simple talk? I think it could be a fantastic way to go for the Simple English encyclopedia. Archer7 15:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Last warnings
What template are you using for the last warnings? I've never seen it before. Archer7 | talk 14:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hello
I hope that you do not mind me adding things in simple English. I was banned from English Wikipedia for correcting the Port Arthur massacre article there. I thought it was very unfair. I provided references, while the people that banned me just made things up. I think it would be good if that article could be accurately presented. I have written many articles showing how Wikipedia have covered up that article. If you look at the first entry, the first entry is a redirect to something that does not exist. The first talk entry was one apologising for something beforehand. There are over 100 entries that have been deleted from history. This is something that I would have hoped that something like Wikitruth could have exposed. This is actual censorship. And they have banned people for trying to speak truth and trying to improve accuracy. This is all that I have ever aimed to do. I have an article on these censored topics on Wikinfo too, with Fred Bauder's permission. These are important topics, and I do not think that it is right that we are going to lie to people about it. I do not care about the politics of Wikipedia, about the cabal or whatever else. I just want people to tell the truth. 203.122.215.44 04:17, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- The truth is all I'm after, but we can't put on the whole trial here. In cases where there are two sides to the story, usually the solution is to give each side's main points, not including only one side, or cutting out one side, and more or less proportional to the actual representation of that view in the public. You say that most people agree with your version, but has anyone established this, say with a poll or something? I can maybe see an article that gives both sides of the story. Even the English version mentions that there are other views, and gives links to websites of opposing views. That seems fair to me. Then there is even the question of whether topics like this (a retarded person convicted of going on a shooting spree) are at all necessary or appropriate for this encyclopedia project. Blockinblox 04:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

- Being the single greatest mass murder in Australian history is notable. 35 people killed total, 32 in a single day. The next highest is 15. That makes it notable. Sure, there's only 21 million people in Australia, but its a decent enough size. That is what makes it notable. The event also had major influence in politics. They changed the gun laws purely because of this, which in turn meant that John Howard stayed as leader (he was behind in the polls before this). They also changed the law to allow for his money ($28 million, I believe) to be given to victims. I didn't put in the figures because I couldn't find a source for it, but yes, that was significant. It was also one of the greatest trial by media examples in the history of the world. Never has a person been so demonised in the media since Adolf Hitler. It is probably 2nd in terms of the most controversial result in world history, after the JFK assassination, and is the number 1 most controversial story in Australian history. Whether this is encyclopaedic is not an issue. The issue is how to tell it. Nowhere outside of the English Wikipedia is there such a biased, inaccurate version which fails to acknowledge the enormous outcry about the verdict. Wikipedia goes further than just blatantly stating the official story. They have lied about people like a Mrs Larner, they have misquoted text, such as about his diagnosis and about the trial by media issue. They have falsely stated that he confessed. It is just quite simply a load of nonsense. Acknowledging an opposing view is one thing. But stating that opposing view as a "baseless conspiracy theory" is another. And failing to acknowledge the name and identity of the person who started the "conspiracy theory", as being Wendy Scurr, the chief eye witness and first person to report the murder to police, is misleading. Wikipedia has said that all eye witnesses said he did it. In fact, no eye witnesses said that he did it. We can't argue NPOV. This is a blatant falsehood. We have hard and fast evidence that eye witnesses said that he didn't do it. Whilst its not unusual for police to just arrest "someone" (see Ivan Milat and the Backpacker murders as another example of this - or Bradley John Murdoch and the disappearance of Peter Falconio as another), rather than properly investigate a case, the sheer notoriety of this case makes it notable. It was a cover up. One of the greatest cover ups in the history of the world. Wikipedia, sadly, fails to acknowledge all of the evidence of this, and instead have worsened the cover up. I have written many articles exposing this cover up, if you want to see them. But things that I have written are not allowed to be used in Wikipedia, per their rules on citations, so we have to leave them out. I think that what I wrote was very neutral and very accurate. If you disagree, feel free to edit it a little. 203.122.215.44 06:20, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

- I see what you are saying about a "poll". As far as I know, they have never done a poll. So I shortened it to "95% of articles written oppose the official story". You can prove this using Google. It is very easy to do, and is quite accurate. Of course, this was an example of trial by media, so most likely there are many people who do not know much about it that blindly believe the official story. Especially since En Wikipedia's article. At the 10 year anniversary, on 28 April 2006, over 90% of attendees were reported stating that Martin Bryant didn't do it. This was picked up repeatedly by the media, and there were numerous reports stating this. 90% or 95% does not seem to me like a "baseless conspiracy theory" and I think it is inaccurate to state it as such. It is a majority of people who support this. However, there are about 1,000 different theories as to what really happened. So in terms of theories which are believed, we can say that the official story is probably amongst the top 5 most commonly believed theories. It just depends on how good you are at manipulating statistics. On a similar issue: how many people believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy? It's the same kind of issue. A cover up is obvious. The truth is not so obvious. 203.122.215.44 07:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandal
Hi there,
I'm sure you've seen our latest vandal, but User:Reri Horlockon has recently vandalised my user page twice. All other edits are constructive, but I've had no replies to my questions about it. User:Reri Horlockon could actually be the same guy as the vandal, or the vandal could have hacked his account, or he could just be angry with me. What do you think we should do? At the moment I'm tempted to place him on an 'enforced wikibreak' for a few weeks. Any ideas? Archer7 | talk 15:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Semi-protection
How do I semi-protect? The only one I can see just protects from unregistered users, not accounts under 4 days old (semi-protection). Archer7 | talk 21:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Netoholic
I would appreciate your comments on Simple talk regarding User:Netoholic. Netoholic has claimed that my actions were inappropriate, and I would like to know what you think. Archer7 | talk 10:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reri Horlockon
User:Reri Horlockon has finally admitted to being the 63.19 vandal (see my talk page). Apparently his vandalism will carry on, so I have now warned him about Wikipedia contacting ISPs. Anything else happens, do a range block of 63.19 for a while, it's best to just knock it out now I think. Archer7 | talk 10:15, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unisuitable content
Why are my edits being deleted as unsuitable? Wikipedia has articles on the Donkey Punch and the Dirty Sanchez, and it also has real anatomical photographs. I think that information should be free and available in simple english, and that these articles represent a serious deficiency in the quality of information available on the simple english wikipedia.

[edit] Mao
Please beleive me, I didn't mean that to be the final version, or to white wash his crimes. I just wanted to bring it to a more neutral level, and I think that we can agree neither version is neutral. I understand that he was responsible for millions of deaths. Some of what was said seemed to be a very POV exaggeration, and I realize I probably went too far in the other direction. So can we compromise, instead of reverting everything the other person tries to add? Thanks. Picaroon9288 22:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, what do you think now? Picaroon9288 21:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki:Edittools
Hey Blockinblox, I noticed you just edited MediaWiki:Edittools. While you're at it, can you enclose the warning in a <span> with an ID so editors who know the warning off by heart can turn it off in their Monobook? Thanks, Tangotango 16:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- Okay. I lied - a <div> is probably better ;) I've posted details at MediaWiki talk:Edittools. Cheers, Tangotango 17:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] French revolution
If you want to be so ridiculous at the universe, you should accept the following version of French Revolution, shouldn't you? --216.125.49.252 21:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I see you reverted edits to Universe but have no problem with the current version of the French Revolution. If we are honest, we really should support this version shouldn't we? After all, none of us were there to witness whether the French Revolution happened or not, were we? Your advocacy is, frankly, unbecoming, not based in fact, and extremely ignorant. Perhaps you should consider getting an education. --216.125.49.252 18:52, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
What are you talking about, there were plenty of eyewitnesses to the French Revolution who left testimony. How many were there for the Big Bang? Blockinblox 21:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edit war
OK, I've just looked at the Big Bang mess, and I've decided it's way out of control just over two letters (which IMO make no difference at all to the NPOV or factual accuracy, see page talk). If 216 or Billz revert any more, or any insulting comments or anything, it's an instant 24 hour block to the offender. Thanks for walking away from this one. Archer7 - talk 19:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- I am sorry about sparking off an edit war. This was not my intention and I will not continue any further. At the time, I thought I was saving Blockinblox a job, but I realised I was not. I apologise for my errors. Billz (Talk) 19:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:ForestH2 & socks
Good call with that. In reviewing this, I found clear and convincing evidence by looking at both his simple: and en: contributions on all accounts that this is the same, disaffected user. I've blocked him and the socks (user:Treebark and user:Carmelapple). -- Netoholic @ 04:47, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured articles?
As you seem to be a very experience editor on the Simple Wiki (evidenced by your adminship), would please comment on this proposal on Simple talk, advocating for the creation of some sort of featured article process?--TBCΦtalk? 08:18, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

- Hi, sorry about me having to hurry cuz I had to go to church but now I think I could talk now. Well about Chacor, I knew about him from the english wiki for a long time but had somewhat of a bad relationships between eachother and had conflicts frequently; since he'd usually critize my ideas and edits and call them vandalism although they were rather good-faith edits. So as a result, I recently "quit" that wiki (not actually leave, but shut-down all activity), and moved here for a fresh start until he came again so I worried about it and began freaking out. --§ Alastor Moody (T + C) 23:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey
Hey Blockinblox, thanks for blocking User:Beckjord. Can you fix a particularly irritating piece of vandalism he did, by deleting vector ^_^ (talk) and moving ITALIAN FAG to vector ^_^ (talk), and then reverting the page? (The history for Vector's user page is currently located at ITALIAN FAG. The talk page is okay.) Thanks, Tangotango (talk) 16:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

- Now look, I find your continuous chatting away about technical stuff really annoying. Your way of saying things give the impression that you know absolutely everything and I don't know anything.

I don't understand Chacor, if yu wish to come and help over here, how come yu have to give bad first impressions to other users that didn't do anything at first and call other user's edits "unnecessary", cause this wiki is not to make conflicts (espeically what happedned before between you and me in en wiki) cuz I don't want that in here. You made me abandon the genral English Wikipedia, but do yu now wish me to leave this wiki also, cuz I'll have no choice but go say bye-bye and go to myspace.com instead. So please, chill out and stop making early complaints. --§ Alastor Moody (T + C) 06:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- I will note that it is you and Random who have taken the initiative to launch baseless attacks against me. User_talk:Chacor#unsimple - I am sorry, but I am not going to tolerate being attacked. Your claims that I've done nothing here is also ridiculous, given that as an anon I decided to start simple's 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. Chacor 10:41, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spoken
Hi. Thanks for the advice. The majority of the edits I made, though, were of a (I believe) completely uncontroversial nature. Mostly grammar and wording fixes. I made a little factual correction to Chocolate and added a sentence to atheism that probably I should have waited for. If it's not just grammar and minor wording that I fix, I'll be sure to wait in the future. Cheers! Storkk 15:22, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion
Hi again. Under what policy criteria did you delete Image:Spoken Atheism.ogg? I am not too familiar with policy on simple, having only just started here, on normal EN, it would have been marked for a deletion discussion. You could have simply de-linked it from the page, and waited for a while. You also reverted the textual addition to atheism. May I ask on what grounds? That it wasn't referenced? By that criteria, most of simple would have to removed. Since I don't want to revert you, I'll cite it now for you, if you like so that you can add it back:
- Michael Martin, Atheism: a Philosophical Justification pp 7-14. 1990 Temple University Press. ISBN 0877229430.
- J.P. Moreland and Kai Nielsen, Does God Exist? The debate between Theists & Atheists 1993 Prometheus Books. ISBN 0879758236
(I can't immediately find the page references for the second reference, but I will be able to overnight)
Please respond with your reasoning. Many thanks! Storkk 16:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- One more reference:
- Bertrand Russell, Why I am not a Christian pp11-14, 22, 63-72. 1957 Touchstone Books. ISBN 0671203231 Storkk 16:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- Since it would not meet any en:WP:CSD, en image deletion policies would forbid Speedying it. I also did not "rewrite" the article. I added 1 sentence, which I have now sourced. --Storkk 16:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- True, I'll keep that in mind for the future. That, however, has no bearing on the sentence that was removed from the textual reversion that you performed. Now that it is sourced, please add it back or let me know that you won't revert again when I put it back. Many thanks! --Storkk 16:16, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Autofellatio
Hi, I just wondered why you thought this article was inappropriate. AnemoneProjectors 18:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Users
Hi Blockinblox, I came to tell you about several problems here about new users signing in as registerated users with most that have innaproaite names and with users that have 0 edits. I think you should patrol on those stuff (or ask a checkuser) to monitor those stuff. thanx. --§ Alastor Moody (T + C) 06:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Alastor Moody, please note that Checkuser is only used for suspected sockpuppets and not users who violate Wikipedia's guidelines on usernames.--TBCΦtalk? 21:27, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] mistaken identity
I can see why you might think my recent edits were unusual, but I assure you, you are mistaken. Template:Admin displayed "Jimbo Wales" only because that was default (for easy viewing). See en:Template:Admin, which does the same. When I updated the Admin template today, I was reminded of the imposter and took steps to rename that account. User:Jimbo Wales was an account originally created by an imposter, which I've identified as User:Ewok Slayer now (from en:). I've renamed the imposter's account, and now created an account for Jimbo to prevent future problems. -- Netoholic @ 19:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry about the mixup. Just being on the safe side. But on another note, if somebody ever did guess your password, blocking them would do no good since they can unblock themself the same way! Blockinblox

- Agreed, which is why admins especially should have very good passwords. Hopefully, impersonation and account takeover will be reduced if Single login specifications ever get implemented. -- Netoholic @ 20:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry! Timing issue. I didn't know an admin was around. zephyr2k 11:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User:Shandlewood
Please block User:Shandlewood. He is a vandal who makes nonsense pages. PullToOpen Talk/Contribs 02:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] N00b question...
What's a double redirect? I never really did understand that term eventhough I encountered it quite frequently on ENWP. zephyr2k 21:52, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! That link was extremely helpful. zephyr2k 22:25, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Factorial
Could you kindly check if there is a good version of the article? It was deleted and I know that Eptalon created the stub. zephyr2k 11:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you! zephyr2k 12:44, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Big words
Funny article. Anyway, would you mind deleting the redirect and uncategorizing it? I would uncat it myself but I don't mess around with other people's userspace. Thanks! zephyr2k 02:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User:Blockinblox/Big words
Hello, Blockinblox. May I know why you redirected the Big words article there, into a sandbox page with extra large fonts? :)-- Tdxiang @ 03:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Well to expand on the reason I gave in my comment on the Move log, the article was created by an anonymous wag, and should have been deleted, but I felt it was too funny to just delete -- so I moved it to the only place I could think of where it might be allowed, into my own personal space. I kept it "as is", big fonts and all, and so far haven't changed anything that the anon wrote, apart from removing the category. Blockinblox 03:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Very well, you have a great sense of humour! And... do you mind if we file for a CheckUser on the creator of User:ForestH2/blog? This troll, 66.233.247.12, has been placing profanities on the "blog". Possibly User:ForestH2. Thanks.-- Tdxiang @ 04:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE:Guantanamo bay
Hi, regarding guantanamo bay, I think you were right to add the template, but someone else has changed the term "concentration camp" to "prison", I think prison is innapropriate, as it is not officially a prison! any thoughts? Chosongul 16:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image uploads
Dude, if you don't want image uploads, then disable the image upload form, instead of complaining when people use the fully-functioning image upload form. Image en:Image:Shield-Trinity-Scutum-Fidei-English.png (which is NOT a "fair use: image) has absolutely no functionality whatsoever outside a specific English-language context, so I have no intention of uploading it to Commons...

[edit] Advice
Hi, today on simple.wiki a vandal was creating useless pages and I had to seek for help from a Steward. He did let me block the vandal and clean up the mess, then removed my temp admin status. Later, he was also informed that there is a pending RFA on this wiki for User:TangoTango and the Steward asked the user to put his request for sysop's flag on meta and therefore gave him the adminship, since the only active bureaucrat doesn't seem willing to do that. You can read about this on meta. I'm asking for your opinion about the statement of Netoholic on this page and also on RFC page that was opened. --M7 21:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

- I have a feeling, Blockinblox, that the two vandals you blocked just now were sockpuppets. Mind checking it out?-- Tdxiang @ 03:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

- That's why I suspected that they are open proxies. People can hide their IPs by using them. I used to use it back in the days when I used to chat on IRC. I remember I was 16 and I thought I was cool for making people think I live in another county. LOL. Well, I guess that's enough spam on Blockinblox's talk page.

[edit] Shit reversion
Hello, Blockinblox. Can you explain why you reverted my edit? It's not vandalism, I was just wikifying. :) -- Tdxiang Adminship 04:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- It was a typo error. I wanted to change it but you reverted it. :(-- Tdxiang Adminship 04:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shetlands
Yep, I performed a history merge of the two articles (for GFDL compliance). You can find both histories at the history page of Shetlands; you may have to do a hard refresh to see the new copy. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 13:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is, admittedly, rather difficult to follow changes to each article ;) However, it's quite useful (if not necessary) if the article has been merged via copy-and-paste, I think. I guess the real objective is to make sure each piece of text can be attributed to the correct author - if you don't merge, you have to delve through two histories (the other of which may not be present if the article is subsequently copied to a non-Wikipedia site) to find the author of a piece of the text from the merged article, while with the merged history, you can be sure to find it there. -- Tangotango (talk) 14:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- In my attempt to merge, I tried to preserve all the text that was there. I basically copied over (and commented out) that part of the one, from the 18... source. In my opinion it is very unfortunate that this situation could arise. -- Eptalon 15:26, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your proposal for my adminship
Hello Blockinblox. Thank you very much for the trust you place in me. Yes, it was unfortunate that I did not make it to admin at the start of this year. At that time however, I had considerably more free time I could put into Wikipedia. Now I do between 200 and 400 edits a month, and I feel bad about it. However, I will take the responsibility, if the community thinks I would make a good admin. -- Eptalon 15:26, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Could someone like me, with 205-450 edits (as per [editcount) be of use in the admin team? -- Eptalon 17:31, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Could you look something over
Sir James Paul has shown a tendency for a strong christian bais in each of his edits as well as removing inwiki, cats, and other tags while completely replacing text on pages. There is also little to no wikifying of his pages and certain pages have included the odd bits of extra coding (added headline text such as on the talk page for mormonism. He has had several comments on his talk page from people trying to help improve the edits but continues to blank pages and reinsert information he feels is right for the article. It would be appreciated if you could review this if you get a free moment. -- Creol 01:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My becoming an admin
Hello Blockinbox. Yes it seem that the community has finally placed some trust in me, and made me an Admin. I will try to fulfill those administrative duties as best I can. I am still unclear on how to create archives of pages, but for the rest, as you can see I am already fulfilling my duties (mainly cleaning nonsense pages, and doing requested deletions). Thanks anyway, hopefully we will see you as one of the new Bureaucrats. -- Eptalon 02:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Creol/Sir James Paul
Hi there, I've just issued Sir James Paul with this warning.
I'm afraid this is only going to get worse, so the same applies to Creol if there are any more attacks like this. I'm hoping I don't have to resort to blocking over this, but does that seem fair to you? Archer7 - talk 15:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I promise I will not attack Creol again. I was mad at him because his messages were rude. I appologized to him. If he does not appologize to me by the end of the day will you ask him to? If he does not say he is sorry for this I will be even more mad with him. All I did was give him a barnstar on his user page and I did not know not to. Please answer me on my talk page. Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir James Paul 16:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Desysopping
Hi, you said earlier on to Tdxiang that we could desysop him. Actually, we can't. They decided a few months ago that bureaucrats couldn't be trusted with removal of access and took that privilege away. All removals need to go to the stewards now, all we can do is grant sysop, bureaucrat and bot flags and change usernames. Oh, and just to let you know, I'm going to try and enforce Netoholic's decision on User:Kimberly Ashton, all except point 3 (edit more articles or you will be banned). I'm really not that confident that it'll succeed, but I'll give it one last shot. Archer7 - talk 16:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed that you deleted Talk:Zatch Bell! (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|delete). This redirect was (unexpectedly) created via a page move, and I didn't think such redirects were normally deleted in case people tried to use them, whether they were red or blue. Is the deletion of redirects that lead to non-existent talk pages of articles that exist normally done here? JDtalk 22:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Learning on the job
Hello! As you know, I am kind of new to this whole administrator thing. I recently blocked two users (Reri Rules All! and Reri's Revenge) for messing with Reri Horlockon's user pages.

You blocked user Jaysomething, supposedly for rudeness. Why did you block him for rudeness if he did not even make any contributions? --71.231.130.56 04:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- When I block a user for creating vandalism articles that are deleted, their contrib list will turn up empty, so that can be confusing. The article he created that I deleted was a spam link to a pornographic site, that is not welcome here and if a newly created username does it, it results in an immediate permanent block. Blockinblox - talk 13:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kimberly Ashton-esque funny business
Ok, so we have already confirmed that Kimberly Ashton and AbbyItalia work from the same IP. However, what about User:Yehku Yehklucs Yehklann and (and possibly User:Terikron Tiraldi)? The first thing that the first user did was vandalize the IP's user page, accusing sockpuppetry. This seems somewhat odd that somebody would know that much who isn't an insider or was here before...so this person may be Ashton/Abby herself. Again, this is only a hunch, but I think it may be worth mentioning. PullToOpen Talk 03:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- From the view point of categories, User:71.231.130.56 is an obvious match to Abby. Abby was the only person prior to that IP who used Cat:Words for any article and now the IP is doing the exact same thing in their markups. Habits die hard it seems. -- Creol 06:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cat tree
I personally just don't like using the special page for the cat tree. That's why I tossed the link to the stats concise cats page. The special page takes up too much page space for basic info while the concise list can cover the first two subcats in much less space making it easier to get a good location for a jump off point when looking for the best cat. True, the special page is constantly updated while the Concise list is a month or more old, but there really isn't a lot of movement on the top level categories. Using the concise list as links to the cats themselves to explore the lower cats when needed (does cat:English people have a subcat for English explorers? for example) is easier with the concise list when dealing with hundreds of entries a day. It may just be a matter of taste. -- Creol 06:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Baseball
At least the version I made is more simple. It also has some helpful stuff in it. I agree that the version you reverted it back to is better but it is not simple. Mine is simple and has some helpful stuff. I'm reverting it back. Please give me some time to work on it.--Sir James Paul 01:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles you recently deleted
Unless Egg vibrator (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|delete) and G-spot vibrator (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|delete) were candidates for quick deletion, please restore these two articles. While Wikipedia may not be a "vibrator encyclopedia", it is an encyclopaedia that has articles on all notable topics. If you feel these articles are not appropriate for Simple English Wikipedia, they should be listed on Wikipedia:Requests for deletion so that the whole community has an opportunity to comment on whether these articles are worthy of inclusion here. Please also note that G-spot vibrator has an article on English Wikipedia. Thanks. J Di 16:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'd appreciate a response, even if your answer is no. J Di 01:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- J Di is not the only one waiting for an answer! I have submitted the article on G-spot vibrator and I don't really like, that what I try to share with other people is so easily deleted by one person. Yes, simple wikipedia is not a "vibropedia" but IT IS an encyclopedia and people deserve to find out what this or that vibrator is (or any other gadget, be it sexual or not) just as much as reading information about the iPods. Thanks. voodooThursDay 08:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- I submitted the article Egg vibrator, which you have deleted. This article meets all the requirements of the simple wikipedia, the rules of this encyclopedia do not limit the range of the themes. I agree with the Siliconov and I will add this article again and if any problems arisen from the content of this article, please, contact me first. Green Tanya 09:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- They should go through due process to be deleted as well. Clearly not everybody agrees with your reason for deletion, and you should allow the articles to be listed on WP:RFD so that everybody can comment on them; if you are so sure that the articles are inappropriate then there will be community consensus to delete them. The articles you first deleted were not quick deletion candidates and reposted content can not be quick deleted twice. J Di 16:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

There is no rule that reposted content cannot be quick deleted twice, if you check the rules, reposted content is supposed to be speedy deleted, and if the page continues to be recreated after that, then we protect it with a message that says:

- Speedy deletion criterion G4 "cannot be used if the content had already been quickly deleted before". The articles weren't even speedy deleted; they were deleted because you felt they were not compatible with the project. Several users, including two at Wikipedia:Simple talk#Deletion review, have spoken out against your actions, and so far you are the only person that has said that these articles are inappropriate. You should restore the articles and list them on RfD so that if there is consensus to delete them, they can be validly deleted should they be recreated. J Di 16:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- And once again I agree with J Di! I understand that I have made a mistake by re-posting deleted articles, but why being so critical on this topic. If you are not interested in vibrators, there are other people for sure, who can't fluently speak English and are interested to find out, what a G-spot vibrator means. I see I'm not the only one who's suffered of this. So how about just reverting the edits and placing them for voting, or whatever. I may not be perfectly familiar with all the policies, but what I know for sure, is that wikipedia is a COMMUNITY and not DICTATORSHIP. If the community agrees that I turn the wikipedia into a porn forum, I'll contribute with something else. Thank You! Sil 16:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- Please calm down! I have read this article and I must say that I agree with the deletion, because the content of the page was clearly pornographic and instructional. But I will vote for an undelete if somebody is prepared to rewrite it. The life of brian 17:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Howdy
Could you please take a look at Presbyterianism. I started this article and would like to know if it is correct. It is my first article in Simple English. Thanks! « Keith t/e» 17:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I don't know what the admin would say, but I think it's simple enough. Sil 07:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'm back. I am ashamed to admit this but I have forgotten where to report vandals. Where do you? Have a nice week and god bless. --Sir James Paul ,La gloria è a dio 22:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Complaint
You seem to be an admin... I'd like to complain about User:Netoholic about his irrational behaviour concerning a spelling dispute. See his talk page ("Basic English, again") for details. DenisL 15:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Soldering iron
Good evening; I've blanked the above page on grounds of suspected copyvio. I'd appreciate it if you could have a look at the article's talk page where I've outlined my reasons, and give your opinion.
Thanks in advance,

If you'd care to give me a list of everything you believe is opinion only, I will find you a reliable source backing up my statements. -Chosongul 16:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bot flag
I've made a request for a bot flag for User:W7bot to switch over templates per this. Please look at it if you get a chance. Thanks --Werdan7T @ 22:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for moving High Blood Pressure to High blood pressure. I'll try to fix the links. Thanks again! --Kyoko 14:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Human Be-In
Hi, Blockinblox. I've seen you around a lot but I don't believe I've had the chance to chat with you yet. I think you might want to have another look at Human Be-In. I don't want to simply revert without explaining my reasoning because I respect you. If you look at what I took out, you might see that it is extraneous info, not needed to understand the context of the event. Also, the article was full of long, complex, run-on sentences. I believe the changes you made have again made the article unnecessarily complex. I simplified the sentences that I felt contained pertinent info. I removed sentences that didn't have anything to do with the event. In particular, I think the sentence about "The recent November 1966 elections to Congress were a setback for the Democrats, with more and more people unhappy about the war and the riots, and the Republicans finally succeeded in getting the first African American Senator elected since the Reconstruction" is not needed at all in this article. Perhaps you could give it another look? Thanks, Tygartl1 16:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I will go ahead and leave the info in although I still feel it disrupts the flow of the page somewhat. I will try to simplify the sentences though since they are still a little long for a simple page. I hope you don't feel like I stepped on your toes. At second glance, I can see how my edits could have been construed as reckless, but I assure you I thought long and hard about my edits before I made them. :-) Tygartl1 16:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Shiver me timbers"
Well, I stand corrected. Sorry for the trouble, I should have ran a search myself and not assumed. Thanks, Browne34 18:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I was a little surprised myself to see there was an en article. I suppose I should correct the mispelling of 'timbers' though. Blockinblox - talk 18:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Selective restoration
I have done a selective restoration on your talk page to get rid of the link that was added by a vandal to your talk page. The link was to a website that had personal information of everybody's favorite KMcA on it. Cheers, PTO 23:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Anthony cfc RFA
Hello, Blockinblox. Although I may not be a 'crat, I closed Anthony cfc's RFA due to lack of consencus. Thanks. :)-- Tdxiang 04:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wanted categories
I was wondering who caches the Wanted categories page and when, or if it's somehow done autmatically. The reason I ask is for a while, it was being cached around midnight each day and it hasn't been done since 2am on Tuesday. I was just wondering if you had a way of updating that. Thanks! Tygartl1 17:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- I wish I did! I have noticed how sporadic it is and have tried to find out why or who does this at Meta but with no success... Blockinblox - talk 17:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reverts of my edits
In response to this edit summary: I did not say that I don't understand the message, I said that it is not very clear. While the message you have put there explains what happens when the box is ticked, it does not explain what happens if it is not ticked, and this information needs to be somewhere easy to access. Assumptions regarding people's knowledge of the MediaWiki software should not be made.
I also do not appreciate the comment you made in this edit summary; reverting my edits, which attempted to make things more simple, without explanation is not helpful. J Di 14:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't know how your computer is set up, but on mine this message fits on one line. Also, "this" is ambiguous, and though "selected" may not be on Wikipedia:Basic English alphabetical wordlist, "selection", a similar word, is. J Di 13:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
