Can you have a look please

I have to sign off now, so can't pursue something I was about to do. Can you have a look at User:The Fish from Florida ? Four edits, four bits of vandalism, the an edit to his user page. Has he actually protected his own page? Gotta go. Cheers Moriori 04:16, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

Need Help

Hi. I saw your tagline on the list of administrators... And I need help! Lol!

I have recently created a page on the comic series The New Avengers, and it has been put to a vote to merge into the page for The Avengers comic series.

Some people have a personal dislike to the page, and I think that since they have been around so long, and been building the Avengers page, they are unwilling to see it end, despite the fact that the comic itself has ended and The New Avengers is a different title.

All of the facts that have been presented are in favour of keeping the two pages seperate, but these people who have been around for some time together are all voting together and using that to bully newcomers - even accusing one new member who voted against the merge of being me! While we know each other - we are not the same person! There is a general concensus on Wikipedia to have individual pages for individual comic series' (The Spider-Man comic series' all have their own individual pages).

I know my New Avengers page is limited at the moment, and I am not the only member to have contributed to it - but I thought the point of Wikipedia was to expand, and as I have said, the only facts that have been brought forward in discussion suggest that The New Avengers is deserving of its own page. I don't want to see my work deleted. Is there anything I can do to stop my work from unjustly becoming just a footnote on another page?

K, I'll try to go over this point by point:

Yes, I am willing to help.

I think I may just support the merge.

Before you think of anything else, try to keep this in mind: Experienced Wikipedians may know more of The Wikipedia rules than you. This is not meant as an insult, or taking sides, I'm just sayig to keep that in mind.

About the person who's not you, but you know them... there's a such thing as Meatpuppets. Meatpuppets are Non-Wikipedians, such as your friends, who come in to vote on polls, often the same as their friend.

Your work wouldn't be deleted, it'd be more of a merge than that, and the New Avengers would redirect, you'd still have credit. Their theory is that the New Avengers page and the Avengers page aren't really that long, so merging would make them look better. Plus there are other Avengers comics merged to the main one, aren't there?

But this is all a content dispute, there's nothing that I can do for you, besides tell you what I have. R e dwolf24 (talk) 05:32, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. As it turned out the actual merge was just a deletion of my work until someone else added the information later. Whether it continues to exist remains to be seen.

I'd just like to say that I wouldn't bring in a friend to vote - that's so not like me.. While a new member, she has been contributing to Wikipedia and didn't join solely for the purpose of voting - she wants to do a lot of tidying up of some Farscape pages...

As for the page itself, which was already in excess to the preferred length, (which was the main reason for creating the seperate page) the only Avengers comic covered by the Avengers article was The Avengers(There was an in-brief paragraph on the new comic at the bottom of the page)... And now The New Avengers... The West Coast Avengers comic title has its own page.

While some have argued that the information was irrelevant, it is exactly modelled on the The Young Avengers page, containing just as important information...

I know that reading this, the tone may sound like I'm complaining, but that's not my intent. I just thought I'd tell you how it turned out. -- Avengers fan 22:55, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I saw it. Charter related. I was gonna copy and paste to the ESP page, but didn't. Nice to have you back! R e dwolf24 (talk) 01:08, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bootcamp typo?

From your bootcamp page: "Or with a pound sign (#) (this will make a numbered list, including the period):"

Did you mean the -number- sign, as the pound sign is £?

I stole your code

Hey, I thought I'd tell you that I stole the code from your page that creates a link that lets people leave you messages. I put it on my user page. It's really cool, thanks. I guess it's not really stealing if you give credit for it and tell them about it, is it? Joe 19:07, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gacy

You should read about John Wayne Gacy if you liked those killers. He's the guy that dressed up like a clown, killed little boys and put them in a crawlspace under his house.66.115.235.199 22:09, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

the Welcome Wagon

Hey. I noticed that you've been doing Newcomer Patrol today (so have I) on the recent huge surge of registrations.

There's a problem, though, that I don't think you've noticed (and it's annoying the hell out of me, so I'm relieved that I have a chance to bitch about it to someone).

A huge number of these registrations are bogus. They're created by people who have no intention of using them, but just... I dunno, want to fill up the database, maybe? Trying to flood the system in some way?

Think about it. How often does someone register as a user... and then not do anything, not even comment on a page or tinker in the sandbox?

So it vaguely irks me to see someone like you, so well-intentioned, falling for it and leaving them the {{welcome}} message.

What I do, to see if they're real, is (if their userpage is still a redlink) I click on the User Contributions. If they haven't contributed anything in the hours since they registered, I feel safe in concluding that they're just garbage accounts, and I close that window and move on to the next on the list.

It's damn frustrating to think of the dozens of genuine new users going unwelcomed amidst the throng of hundreds of empty accounts. DS 23:37, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well think of it this way... most of us started out reading pages, right? We may see the login button and decide to register an account. We may not immediatly make edits. However, yes, there are many garbage accounts. But I don't think that good users are going unwelcomed because I'm welcoming other users, notice how I welcome about 15 users a minute? I think it would take five times as long to check the contribs. There is no harm done in welcoming garbage accounts, they could be used one day anyway. Though it is useless, I admit.

Thanks

Thanks for the support on my RfA. I was very pleasantly surprised to see so much support throughout the week. Of all the 77 supportive votes, yours must be among those that means the most to me. We didn't get off to a great start, a fact that was my fault, and I'm both glad and relieved that we seem to have gotten past that. You have indeed been of help to me, and I hope you will help me out in future, too. So please do keep an eye on me and my logs, especially while I'm learning the ropes with the new buttons. Thanks again! -Splash 23:50, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, my first adminly action was pressing rollback to some anti-semetic edit... see when I saw malathion's edit summary it said rv vandalism, and then I saw [Rollback] in boldface, thinking it was a link to some project, so I clicked it... stupid shiny new buttons.

Losing your edge

Red, your last few vandalism attempts prove you have no idea what you are doing. Vandalism is an art, my friend; an art that you seem unable to master. Sure, "angry parsely" was a cute little reference, and blanking that guy's userpage was funny until he posted back "you've had your fun" yada yada, but when are you going to get to some SERIOUS trolling, man? The redwolf I know and love torments new users simply because they don't spend 25 hours a day on their computers, and blanks pages, throws tantrums, and makes people hate him. What happened to the Redwolf24 of old? My guess: esperanza has made him soft. Happy editing (and congrats on 7,000! That's a lot of redirects and blanked pages! --kidding) -[[User:Mysekurity|Mysekurity]] ^{[[additions | e-mail]]}_{05:00, 10 September 2005 (UTC)}[reply]

Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts

Hey, thanks for moving me up on the list. I didn't even know this list was around, just found it. And not having much net acs for 2 weeks doesn't help with my edit count :( Not that I'm really worried about that, just all the stuff that needs to get done that I help out with.

User:Kdbuffalo (Ken)

Hello...Mkmcconn (Mark) and I have been observing some ongoing edit concerns at Biblical scientific foreknowledge. Aside from the fact that the two of us have ZERO interest in the subject, an edit war has been taking place between MickWest and Kdbuffalo (also known as Ken). The page was protected briefly.

It seems to me that Ken's tone has grown increasingly unfriendly toward Mick and, at times, Mark. Both Mark and I have warned him about this. Mick seems to be trying his best, but Ken is close (in my view) to violating civility rules.

If you have the time, do you think you could review some of the discussion there and, if you deem it appropo, see what you can do about Ken's tone and approach to editing? Mark and I aren't sure there's much more we could do.

Thanks for your consideration...KHM03 23:45, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The only evidence I can present (and I am not an administrator, so I may be way off here) is the discussion on the talk page for the mentioned article. Ken's tone, and accusations. I feel that Mick is being mistreated. Again, I may be wrong, and I'm not asking for any specific actions...just another set of eyes to check it out. A "look see" would be appreciated.
