Welcome

A warm welcome to the English Wikipedia, dear Hexer! If you have questions, please don't ask on my talk page, because I'm not active here. Just ask one of these people. Most of them are happy to help (but only if nobody stole their passwords, of course). :o) We (I don't mean myself very much but rather the community of the English Wikipedia) look forward to your contributions! Have fun! --Thogo (Talk) 22:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

i don't know where else to post a message, but i want the page written about me deleted. you keep putting it back up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpodd6 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Sceptre would like to nominate you for adminship!

No hurry, of course :) Will ^(talk) 22:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, okay. It's possible to start the RfA on July 14, before 2 o'clock pm UTC? It would be wunderful 'cause then I'll have vacations. :) Maybe you add some links, e. g. [1] [2], [3] or [4]. I could do this, too, replying to the three "questions for the candidate". Greetings and thanks for your confidence, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Ey! Marcus Cyron 14:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Sry, werde hier regelrecht belagert von vorschlagenden Benutzern. :| Wenn hier alle, die wöllten, und die, die ich dazu noch gern hätte, die Laudatio schrieben, hätten wir so sechs bis acht Personen. Aber freute mich natürlich über deine Stimme. :) Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:42, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I've co-nominated you. Клоун 15:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Id would have been better to ask me first so that I can't hardly deny it now. ;) … I hope that not any more co-nominators will appear here. Thanks for your confidence! :) Greetings, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's better if someone else will nominate you here - because here I'm not a "Star" *g*. Nearly nobody knows me and if I nominate you with my horrible english, they maybe laugh but dont give you the voice. So we will wait a longer time until I can nominate someone for adminship here afte at de:WP ;) (for the others: DerHexer is already Administrator e at the german-language-Wikipedia and I had nominate him there for the election). The interesting thing is - Hexer is

1. Student
2. Wikipedia-Author ("Portal:Latein"/"Portal:Latin")
3. Admin who works a lot at the RC at the de:WP
4. and here at the RC.

He's a true Wikinator ;). Marcus Cyron 22:00, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't delete redirects!

Please don't delete "unnecessary" redirects. A redirect that was once made is likely to be useful again; redirects should be deleted only when they are actually harmful. See this policy. —Toby Bartels (talk) 02:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I see that they're all Talk pages, so it's probably not so important. (That's why I've decided against going through the list and restoring them.) But it's always possible that an external site linked to one of these old talk pages before it was moved, and Wikipedia has plenty of room (it's primarily bandwidth that Wikimedia needs money for), so they really should not be deleted. —Toby Bartels (talk) 02:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I've not deleted unnecessary redirects for days. Misza13 is doing this at the moment. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 09:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

If you mean that you decided last week not to delete them anymore, then I'm glad to hear it! :-) —Toby Bartels (talk) 00:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I've not the time to do it. And I've decided that at the beginning of December. ;) Well, and Misza is doing atm so that it's not needed that I'll have to do it. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 08:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

It looks like the last one that you deleted was on December 30 (Talk:Highway 132 (Wisconsin), whose deletion the WikiProject reverted), but the date's not important. Misza seems to want you to defend the practice (or at least wants me to ask you to defend it); you might prefer to do so on Misza's talk page. —Toby Bartels (talk) 20:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

No, that wasn't a redirect. As I said in the log it was a orphaned talk page. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:02, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned redirect talk pages are still orphaned talk pages, so I thought that you were just changing your deletion text. But you're right; that's not a redirect, even though its article is. That's weird! :–) —Toby Bartels (talk) 21:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, a meant that it was a talk page whose corresponding page does not exist. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see; when you deleted it (but not now), it qualified for CSD#G8. OK. (Actually, I disagree with G8, but that's not your fault.) —Toby Bartels (talk) 09:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Administrator in basque wiktionary, Why?

Hello, I look This and This, and in spite of the fact that I have more contributions and better that your, you are administrator, and I cannot, it for that? I am more active that your, then I should be the administrator. Bye Bengoa —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.146.63.126 (talk) 20:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm a steward who helps out on SWMT—wikt:eu has no local sysop and I've seen vandalism on your project which I've cleaned. If you want to become a sysop on wikt:eu please start a voting there and request the promotion here. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Question

How do you revert and warn successively? -- Mentifisto 21:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm using the monobook which I've written. I've separated my rollback script which is unluckily just for non admins, but I recommend you to use User:Oxymoron83/twinklewarnauto.js which adds my warning script to twinkle. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Um, which warning script? I imported Oxymoron83's but no automatic warnings are issued after a twinkle revert... and doesn't it work with the server's rollback? -- Mentifisto 21:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Gee, I see you revert in just a few seconds... the bots revert in seven seconds, you revert in four. What's your method exactly? -- Mentifisto 22:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's my monobook which makes me fast, and I'm using a shortcut to revert—I don't need to move my mouse for a revert (and its followed automatic warning/block). :) Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

So I should just import your monobook? :-p -- Mentifisto 22:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's just working for admins. But they just need to import it, yes. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I still didn't get how to autowarn though - does it work with rollback or only twinkle? -- Mentifisto 22:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Oxymoron's script just works with twinkle. But I'll change my rollback script for rollbackers. But it's not finished yet. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Mentifisto 22:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Worry

I have to express some concern, mild frustration, and worry over the fact that you often use fourth level warnings the first or second time around, and block rather quickly. Also, correct me if I'm mistaken, but you seem to target dynamic IPs', or IPs' assigned to school districts and colleges. You are an adminstrator, so I'm sure you know the special consideration these group of anonymous users need.

I am inclined to polietly remind you to don't bite the newcomers, which a lot of anonymous users' are, and direct you to this essay, however I am worried that I'll be bitten myself! Is there anyway we can resolve this situation?--Kannie | talk 21:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm warning vandals with the levels 2 and 4, and block if a level 4 warning was added. I'm not adding a new level 2 warning if the vandal was warned during the last 24 hours (so that I even take care of dynamic IPs)–then he'll get a level 4 warning. … It would be nice if you could give me examples where I've not warned a vandal or was rough to a new user. Thanks and kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

The fact that you only give vandals two chances--level two and then level four--is what worries me most. It's kind of startling. I thik the fact you admit to it is evidence enough, but I am willing to give you more if you want. It might be experimentation, or the person might actually think that they are serving wikipedia by, for example, blanking the page to get rid of "lies". I may have jumped the gun by saying you target dynamic/school IP's, but that's what I remember most. Sorry about that.

It's obvious I am not going to win this battle, but if you wish to continue the discussion, I will. --Kannie | talk 18:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, on projects like de:wp vandals were blocked with at most one warning. Blatant (user page or speed) vandalism is basically stopped even without one. … I've had no complains up till now, since I changed my warning behaviour months ago—and it's imo fair to give somebody a hint if he has made a wrong edit, and if he continues he should know that he could be blocked when he continues his vandalism, which should be fulfilled if he was warned yet (three mistakenly edits made by one person during a short time is imo hardly probable). … I didn't know that I'm basically reverting schools, thanks for your tip, but if a school/teacher is not able to prevent their pupils from vandalizing Wikipedia they should live with the consequences, imho. Well, and yes, I can't understand why people destroy the work of other ones, and I do not understand complains from e. g. Daimler why I've blocked ~ 10,000 workers who has used one IP address (which happened once on de:wp). It's not me who has made the mistake, who vandalized. The company has to fulfil the duty to find the person who destroys one's work and draw the conclusions. … Finally, if you don't give me examples were I've been too disruptive I can't help you :( … and I want to dissipate your doubts! Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem

Just wondering if anyone other than the bot was awake at this hour of the morning. Glad see to you got my message and reverted the edit. Keep up the good work. 75.19.69.40 (talk) 10:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure you wish all vandals were this easy to deal with. At any rate I won't bug you or the encyclopedia anymore, so enjor the rest the day (or night, whichever it happens to be in Germany). 75.19.69.40 (talk) 10:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Auto Warn

Hey, Do you use the rollback for reverting vandalism - or something like twinkle? Does what ever you use autowarn the person? If so, could you tell me where I could get it from? :P I have been granted rollback but at the moment it is no faster then twinkle as you have to find the users talk page and then warn, whereas with twinkle it auto warns. Also, where do you find the changes to revert? I use Lupins Tool - but I wondered it there was a better way. Tiddly-Tom 11:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

After reading above comments - I look forward to the modified rollback script. If I was to copy your monobook - would it not work at all or just not let me block? Tiddly-Tom 11:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Imo it won't work for you atm. … But could you please tell me the html source code for the rollback button? Should be something like this one: [<a href="…" title="…">rollback</a>] Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Btw., I'm using WP:VF to detect vandalism.

Thanks. I'm sorry but I do not have a clue how to find the html source code for the rollback button :S Tiddly-Tom 18:02, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

If you're using Firefox please go to View -> Page Source (or Ctrl+U). Then press Ctrl+F and search for "rollback". Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Here: [<ahref="/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:172.213.194.89&action=rollback&from=Tiddly+Tom&token=896d41793f099e4686b1196c5d8c7434%2B%5C" title="User talk:172.213.194.89">rollback</a>]

Hopefully that is what you wanted! I have no idea how much work goes into changing it - do you have any ideas of how long it would take you? Tiddly-Tom 18:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, it's the same link which I have so that my reversion script should work if you import my monobook: importScript('User:DerHexer/monobook.js');. —DerHexer (Talk) 19:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Will it think I am an admin and try and get my user account to block users - or is it clever and will report to AIV? Will it only work if I use VF? I would prefer not to downlode programs. Shall I just replace twinkle with this? Thanks! Tiddly-Tom 19:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you're right, it will think that you're an admin, but it should be not too difficult to write a script for additions to WP:AIV—I'll give you a note when I've finished it. You don't need to download VF and you can add it to twinkle, it's not needed to replace it. My script just adds a button to Wikpedia's interface and if you click this button the automatic warnings were added. But don't worry, the normal rollback button will be still available but renamed to "normal rollback". Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Just tried it - and it squished all page content to about 1/6 of the width! Any ideas why this happened? Tiddly-Tom 19:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I've heared that Wikipedia's interface was changed and that afterwards some users had problems with my monobook. But it's working here correctly. But this will be fixed for rollbackers. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! It is so quick! Have you used lupins tool before? It would be great if when I clicked the [rollback] button on that, it did what the js I just installed did. I dont know if this is a simple thing to do or not. The code is here. Tiddly-Tom 11:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a look at it. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert!

Thank you for reverting my user talk page last night... Gotta love it when you accidentally piss off the "wrong person". --The Listener (talk) 17:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you said that you didn't have to move your mouse to revert - or at least I think you did ;) Is there any way I can do the same, as my laptop mouse it quite slow :P Thanks! Tiddly-Tom 17:54, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Ctrl+Alt+S with Firefox. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm using Firefox, and that does not work :S Any ideas? Tiddly-Tom 18:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

o_O It's a.setAttribute('accesskey', "s"); so that it should work. Strange, please test it again (maybe with Ctrl+S). Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

What does aw stand for?! :P Still does not work. Does anyone else use the script we can ask? CtrlS is save. AltS does not work either. Out of interest, would it be difficult to integrate your script into Lupins? Do you want to do it? By no means do you have to, but it would be useful to know, as if you don't - I might see if I can find someone who feels like it if you don't. It's a lot quicker then Twinkle at the moment - but any increased speed is superb! Tiddly-Tom 19:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

aw = Antwort = answer. Very strange that it doesn't work. You've asked me yet if I could add it to Lupin's tool. :P I'll have a look at it. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes it warns - some times it does not. If it does not - it just goes to the Action Complete page and then just stays there. Any ideas why? Tiddly-Tom 19:25, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Timeout bug. Just click Alt+left to go back in the browser's history, or click the green button. That should work. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:45, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Fast Reverts

What tool(s) do you use to revert pages and warn? You have beaten me to the rollback at least 10 times in the last 1/2 hour. Thedjatclubrock :) ^(T/C) 20:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I attempted to use the code in your revert.js, but after CTRL-F5, I still only have a page of code. What am I supposed to do after that to actually make that code help me revert faster?

BLPs

This is stale (over two months old), but please check out the history of Dan Motuliak (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). This article is about a college football player who has, according to the NCAA, never played a down in a single game. It was created as a puff piece [5] with nonsense like "July 8th is now celebrated in Champaign-Urbana as Dan Motuliak day." An IP added vandalism [6]. Another IP, 64.198.236.233 (talk · contribs) blanked the article [7] twice and you reverted him twice and warned the user with standard vandalism templates. Based on the location of this IP, there's a really good chance that this is the subject himself or someone working for the school. WP:BLP#Dealing_with_edits_by_the_subject_of_the_article reminds us that "Anonymous edits that blank all or part of a biography of a living person should be evaluated carefully. When the subject is of ambiguous notability, such edits should not be regarded as vandalism in the first instance, and recent changes patrollers should bear in mind that they may be dealing with the subject. The use of inflammatory edit summaries or vandalism-related talk-page templates should be avoided." The blanked article was completely uncited and was largely vandalism/nonsense. I keep every article that uses {{Infobox NCAA Athlete}} on my watchlist and it's not infrequent that I see libel that escapes notice for entirely too long. Please consider this a friendly reminder to be extra careful when looking at BLPs - sports articles are frequently vandalized and garbage like this article should be stubified or deleted on sight. Thanks. --B (talk) 03:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, if I'd be a vandal I'd say the same–that I'm this person. But it's still vandalism even if it's the person itself who vandalizes his article without mentioning his user name. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

The point is, the article was pretty flagrant nonsense/libel ... all I'm suggesting is that when you revert a blanking, you take a quick glance to make sure that there wasn't a reason for blanking it. --B (talk) 00:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

South African Patriot

Thanks for reverting the vandalised version of this article but why did you then revert it back again to the false version? There is a very full discussion attached which should put you fully in the picture. Mark Hasker (talk) 09:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I was not sure if my correct was wrong so that I decided to revert myself. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

OK no prob. I though it was something like that. What is happening is that the former editor of this fascist, racist and antisemitic magazine keeps "doctoring" the article to put himself in a more favourable light. The more people keep an eye on it the better. Mark Hasker (talk) 13:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Diverses

1. Hallo!
2. Verzeih, dass ich nicht auf englisch schreibe, aber meine mir angeborene Faulheit verhindert gerade die intensivere Auseinandersetzung mit Gottes drölftschönster Sprache.
3. Gratulation nachträglich zum Steward.
4. Mein eigentlicher Request: Ich weiß nicht, wie hier in der englischen Wikipedia mit Löschanträgen, Links und ähnlichem Schnickschnack umgegangen wird, aber Versionen des Artikels King Orgasmus One hatten Links zu illegalen Downloadseiten der Alben. Außerdem möchte ich bezweifeln, dass die Artikelstubs zu den Alben irgendwelche Relevanzkriterien auch der englischen Wikipedia erfüllen, weiß jedoch nicht, wie diese aussehen. Könntest Du mir bei der Gelegenheit kurz mit Rat zur Seite stehen? Gerne auch via Jabber.
5. Danke! ;)

Hallo der Hexer ich bin es mal wieder - habe dieses auf den Diskussionsseiten bei dem Artikel über mich hinterlassen: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Christophe_Neff&action=edit&section=3 - bin inzwischen wieder auf der franz. Wikipedia zugelassen - bekomme aber immer wieder mails ich solle doch endlich den Artikel über mich in der englischen sprachigen Wikipedia verschwinden lassen.

{{uw-vandalism4}} after only one edits might be a little quick on the trigger. I might have tried another {{Test}}, {{Test2}}, {{Test-self}}, {{Uw-test1}} before threatening a block. Just something to consider...Cheers, Kingturtle (talk) 21:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Hallo Hexer - sag, kannst du mir Rollback granten? Will jetzt ein bisserl mehr hier mitspielen. Btw, kannst du mir ein monobook empfehlen, das zumindest ähnlich unserem Standard-PDD-monobook funktioniert? Danke und liebe Grüße --Nepenthessss (talk) 22:11, 29 January 2008 (UTC) (bzw. Nepenthes)

Kommt drauf an, was du haben willst. Wenn du eins zur IP-Ansprache haben willst, empfehle ich natürlich meins für Rollbacker. Allgemein kann ich aber WP:TW empfehlen. Eines mit Quickbar wie PDDs kenn ich aber nicht. Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok danke, ich probier's mal mit deinem. jetzt bräucht ich nur noch Rollback-admission. Könntest du da unten draufklicken? Danke

Das gibt's auch bei mir in der deutsprachigen Wikipedia, allerdings ist es dort nicht zu 100 % stabil und von PDDs Monobook getrennt. Wenn du's testen willst, schreibst du mir am besten eine Nachricht auf de:User:DerHexer/Monobookwünsche. Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

RfB?

Have you ever considered going up for RfB? I mean, so that you could handle user rights locally better. It's just that stewards are encouraged to take actions as your friendly neighborhood bureaucrat, rather than a super-admin (even though the steward policy directly states that stewies aren't super-admins, I really like that term :P ). It just kinda seems like skipping a step. You don't see trusted non-admins at RfB. But I'd lime to see you there someday :) Justin^Contribs_{User page} 04:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I really feel honoured that you ask me. But I'm imo not involved enough into the community, so that I think that I'd fail. Furthermore, I'm really busy with my work for the university and there's still so much admin stuff undone on de:wp and en:wp, and—of course—steward stuff. … I hope that you'll understand it. Thanks again for your request and kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sure. Just wondering if you'd ever consider it. Cheers! Justin^Contribs_{User page} 19:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

revert.js

So you finally made it for non-admins? Cool, this will really help me! (Although it doesn't seem to detect the type of vandalism - I rollbacked a blanking and it warned for vandalism.) -- Mentifisto 17:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow, my productivity has doubled now, and it even reports to AIV automatically! Thanks DerHexer! -- Mentifisto 18:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. If my script finds an older template it uses its type for the next one—e.g.—if uw-npov was yet added it will add uw-npov4 (or uw-npov3). Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, look at this :-S I think it just merged with the notice above it... a bug in the script? -- Mentifisto 20:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

No, wait... 'huggleblock'? O_o -- Mentifisto 20:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I see that you added that just yesterday. Surely a bug then... it should have warned. -- Mentifisto 20:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't know why it happened and what happens so that I decided to test my script again. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it did it again right now... somewhat embarrassing. :-S -- Mentifisto 22:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I've changed the code so that it should work again. Please clear your cache and test it. Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I haven't yet encountered a situation where a block was issued just before my warning. Another question though... is there any way to revert vandalism (like page blanking) without loading the diff? Especially in the case of page blankings, when the article is long, it takes a lot of time to load the diff and if I press rollback without waiting for it to complete the automatic warning won't be issued. -- Mentifisto 12:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

You could revert, go back in the browser's history and wait until the page is loaded and press the "rollback" button (next to the "normal rollback"). You should see a failure but if you'd go back again in the browser's history my warning script would be triggered. So you'd revert fast and warn the IP. But if the diff is too huge there's only one possibility: Rollback from the contribution's page. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I'll do that then. Another thing... could you make the script not mark AIV reports as minor? An admin requested that, since it may not show up on watchlists. -- Mentifisto 16:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Done. —DerHexer (Talk) 20:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, it still does it. -- Mentifisto 21:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

No. Have you really cleared your cache? —DerHexer (Talk) 22:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Forgot about that. Thanks for everything then. -- Mentifisto 23:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

User warnings

I am somewhat confused as to why you are jumping to the final warning template when warning users for vandalism, examples here and here. These users seem to have vandalized less than four times. Could you explain why this is necessary? Kakofonous (talk) 00:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

It's vandalism. … And if a vandal is blanking dozens articles inbetween seconds I'm even blocking them without a warning. … Btw., what's more important? To stop vandalism, take care of the database and the Foundation's interests or a recommendation to kiss the feet of vandals? —DerHexer (Talk) 00:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the bother. I understand now. Kakofonous (talk) 00:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, these words were rude but I hear those questions here quite often during the last time, please have a look at WP:BURO and do not forget that this is a voluntary project—on de.wikipedia vandalism is always stopped after the second edit. To tolerate at least five vandal edits before you're allowed to block a vandal are far too much. Nobody likes it to take care of dozens of vandals and templates, to remember which template and which type should be used in this exact moment. It could even happen that fighting vandalism would be ignored because of the confusing behaviour of warnings. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 00:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

peer review

I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality! Wikipedia:Peer review/Heroes (TV series)--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 04:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Socks of Arthur Ellis

Hi DerHexer, I think it's safe to use the WP:DUCK test and assume that Herniaboy (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) and 209.217.79.61 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)) are socks of user:Arthur Ellis. Same pattern, trying to blank their RFCU page[8] personal attacks in Talk:Rachel Marsden[9] and general disruptive editing.[10]

What the fuck?

I havn't edited anything on wikipedia for months. Wtf --75.34.155.84 (talk) 20:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, nobody complained about you: The last block for your IP was in april, the last posting on your talkpage, too. If you weren't the vandal, have a look at the bottom of your talkpage: This is the discussion page for an anonymous user, identified by the user's numerical IP address. Some IP addresses change periodically, and may be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users. Registering also hides your IP address. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 20:27, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
