Jericho

Thanks for cleaning that up and adding the link on the Episodes part. I...umm...well...I have a friend that works at a CBS affiliate and I wanted to get that out. He said it was also on cbs.com but buried somewhere. I tried to find it there but could not. Looks better though, thanks. WarFighter 22:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Price Is Right

'Salright about the revert thing yesterday. We all do stuff on here that we later realize we shouldn't have once in a while. 71.31.67.115 02:25, 3 February 2006 (UTC) (Steve Gavazzi)[reply]

Time Warner Template

What you reverted doesn't appear to be vandalism at all. Any reason not to re-revert it? matt kane's brain 15:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mea culpa. I was looking at an old version of the page. Sorry 'bout that -- Gridlock Joe 20:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nickelodeon

Hey, your rvv from today is identical to the previous version, complete with a broken link and mangled sentences. I'll revert to the one before the IP edits, 'kay? Karen 21:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I was chasing down a persistant vandal. -- Gridlock Joe 00:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A comment regarding BLAKLEYSHOT

Nice work you've done there watching after him. As a bit of a precautionary measure, I created User:Jamesinc7, so don't be suprised if he skips a number, or even comes up with a new name. —Whomp t/c 03:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MTV Tr3s

stop reverting my edits,if u actually watched the channel ud see that its true,and if the network finds that they will realize that's a mistake and stop airing those programs.

You have been warned several times in the past about NPOV.

Scoey Mitchlll = Scoey Mitchell = Scoey Mitchill ?

First, sorry about the typo in the edit summary claiming I was changing "ill" to "ell"—though, by then, I probably was ;-). I was actually checking "Kennedy" the other red-linked name and decided to f/u on Scoey as well.

I assume that this became his "stage" name? When I G'd him I checked both the "ill" and "ell" forms with "-wikipedia" (then adding "Match Game"; replacing "MG" with "comedian"; replaced "comedian" with "show") and wound up deciding that "ell' would be the entry people would use. Having checked your correction just now I see the following distribution:

328 — "scoey mitchlll" -wikipedia / "match game" = 86 / "comedian" = 23 /

1450 — "scoey mitchell" -wikipedia / "match game" = 217 / "comedian" = 269

232 — "scoey mitchill" -wikipedia / "match game" = 12 / "comedian" = 131

The IMDB site [1] has a pretty full list of his career activities and uses "ell"; the NY Times "lll" (but few entries).... Depending on whether he really used the "lll" form (& registered with the actors guild?) I would probably put him at Mitchlll with a re-direct from Mitchell (& Mitchell, since the "comedian" hits are so high)

In any case, it would really be nice if even a stub were written (there is one at the French WP!) to which the name(s) could be blue-linked (hint, hint) --RCEberwein | Talk 15:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Highway 401

I've brought this to arbitration. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 20:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the best move. It always helps to have a few neutral sets of eyes looking at things. -- Gridlock Joe 21:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mmbabies

Thanks "Gridlock" for helping control Mmbabies, who so far has posted crap under 19 different IPs. And I though BenH was a problem.

Thanks again. -- azumanga 03:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. If user continues, it may be worth our while to request Semi-protection for each of the stations affected. -- Gridlock Joe 19:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gridlock. Check out my little piece on him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:68.90.227.49#And_another_thing... -- azumanga 02:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since the previous semi-protect failed, do you want to try again? This time, have them take a real, close look at the Mmbabies sockpuppet category (with special attention to the WHOIS logs). (Sorry I can;t give a direct link for a category.) -- azumanga 02:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Considering he's extending his vandalism into other areas (my favourite: "On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, Cinnamon Toast Crunch will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut")."), it may be time to consider requesting a block for the whole of the IP range. -- Gridlock Joe 03:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have you thought about proposing a "community ban" against Mmbabies and his IPs? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ban#Community_ban -- azumanga 22:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at his socks' threats and edit summaries, I went ahead and proposed it ... this clown is a direct threat to the project. GOod Lord, I didn't know it was possible to do this much damage in only 2 months ... --Blueboy96 04:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the link ... we need to get rid of this idiot, now. --Blueboy96 04:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the community ban proposal. I've been away the past few days and unable to keep track of him. -- Gridlock Joe 03:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible that Mmbabies (talk · contribs) could belong to BenH (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 04:50, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe so -- BenH's edits came from Winter Park, FL, using Embarq's servers; Mmbabies' posts come from Houston, mostly from SBC's servers. -- azumanga 13:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing about the above -- BenH's edits generally involve unnecessary edits and additions, plus some false material, but he never threatened. Mmbabies' edits is malicious vandalism and falsehoods. If you compare the two, you will find that, while both deserve bans, they are from two different "worlds". -- azumanga 18:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KETH-TV 39

For god sakes KETH is 39 and KHTV is 14. Everytime you think of 14, think of the CW Network, 39 think of TBN. Go to channel 14 at 7714 Westpark Drive, at Hillcroft Avuenue, at Houston, Texas. Tell them that channel 14 is the CW.

What are you smoking? KHTV-39 is TBN, KETH-14 is WB.

Really -- You don't think KETH knows their own affiliation? Are you that dense? -- azumanga 02:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yah, really? I had already made WB 26 in Houston, Texas. Everytime I put WB 26 is changes, and I told them not to change this stupid WB 26.

Your name

...reminds me of Gridlock Sam, a fellow that answers traffic related question on his webpage. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 04:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's where I got the inspiration. I used to report traffic on the radio. -- Gridlock Joe 12:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
