Thanks

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. IrishGuy ^talk 00:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Anti-Colbert sentiment is not appropriate

Wikipedia needs to take into account popular culture. It is ignorant for you to delete any entry without fully considering its validity just because the source of it happens to be someone like Steven Colbert. Steven Colbert is a great man and brilliant thinker. Plus, his wife is hotter than the cyber chick you masturbate to every 16 minutes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.162.136.179 (talk) 02:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

My RfA

• Thanks for the support position. However, I've decided to withdraw my acceptance because of real WP:CIVIL concerns. I will try again later when I've proven to myself and others that my anger will no longer interfere with my abilities as a Wikipedia editor. Thanks again, and I'll see you around here shortly. :) JuJube 04:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my recent successful RfA. --Anthony.bradbury 14:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I have semi-protected your user page...

Re:Your signature is broken

It's not broken, I'm just using the easy, "fake wikilink" signature, popular a while back. --[[User:Pie Man 360 | UserPage Talk about me!]] 21:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your Support on my recent nomination for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 89/1/1. If there's anything I can help with, then you know where to find me. Cheers. - Michael Billington (talk) 06:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

RFA

Hey Dgies, good to know you've finally decided to take the plunge. I'll write you a nom right after lunch. :-) See ya shortly. --Húsönd 12:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

It's done! :-) Don't forget to change the Scheduled-to-end-date before launching it, and please let me know when you do so that I may support before getting too beaten. ;-) Good luck! Best regards, Húsönd 14:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd err on the side of the user, maybe a 1 day block will get him to change. Many admins started out as "vandal-only" accounts. Yes your attitude complies with policy, but I feel it's too extreme. Jeff Defender 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

With all due respect...

I brought up your first edit to my RfA to show how I think you found Cremepuff's pages. Xiner (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Dgies, I never once questioned your motives in posting my edit details. Xiner (talk) 18:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I merged the votes.

Himno de Cantabria

Yes, I made the translation. I know it´s very literal, in fact as you can see I wrote in the edition page this note: !--Correct translation?--. That´s all I can make with my low level of english and over all my scarce knowledge of english poetic resources. Feel free to introduce changes.--Uhanu 18:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for reword my translation, obviously it seems more natural now. On the other hand, of course I´m up to date with the article Cantabria/Translation, thank you for the note :).--Uhanu 23:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Reply to Speedy deletion tagging of Justice league episodes

I see you have tagged many redirects from titles of Justice League episodes with the deletion reason "Just because it's the name of a Justice League episode should not mean that it should redirect there". This does not appear to reflect any of the speedy deletion criteria. Please don't use speedy deletion tags for things you simply think are bad. If you really think these should all be deleted, you may list them at WP:RFD, but I should mention it is common to keep redirects like these to help people find the closest-related article currently available. Thanks. —dgies^t_c 05:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Reply: ok, then what about reedirects like The Terror Beyond, In Blackest Night, Injustice For All, and other redirects like that, I don't think they should redirect here, because another page about those topics could be written, so do you think those redirects should be keptGman124 17:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Those specific cases have a stronger justification for deletion because they have more generic titles, but it's still not a speedy deletion criteria. They should be listed at WP:RFD if you want them gone. You may with to read WP:CSD a bit to see what qualifies for speedy deletion. —dgies^t_c 17:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I added them at RFD, and i have a question, there I found the tag {{db-redirtypo}}, so can't i use that to speedy delete the articles Gman124 17:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

No, because these are not typo redirects, they are related topic redirects, which need to be debated. A redirect like "Listt of justic leege spisodes" would be a good candidate for that tag. —dgies^t_c 18:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank for the help Gman124 18:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gman124 (talk • contribs) 18:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC).

Hey

Thanks for helping with Steptrip's coach. :-) It's a fact that you have some very good material on your admin coach subpage. By the way, your RFA seems to be going (unsurprisingly) very well. Way to go! Best regards, Húsönd 01:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Non-notable birthday warnings

Yeah I pointed it out on IRC. It's just a copy of Gurch's text not a template I'm afraid. Also, as he pointed out, I don't think the manual of style is right and I can't find a correct one (if it exists) yet. I'd support someone making a template for it though! Will (aka Wimt) 18:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the sandwich! It was a very kind gesture of yours. I'll be honored to co-coach a to-be-admin with you in the near future. "Co-coach" sounds funny btw. Best regards (and once again congrats), Húsönd 00:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations on passing your RFA! Thank you for the sandwich. I'm enjoying it. :P I am looking forward to do admin coaching with you one day, we shall see how things go first. If you didn't know why wasn't I editing the past few days, it was because I was in a place far from 21st century civilisation. See you around on IRC or here.

Eleven Burial Masses

Hey - I recently noticed you removed the Speedy tag that I placed on the above article. As professional as the article may be written, it is indeed nonsense, and is a copy of Live Bait for the Dead, if you look at the track listing. The article will inevitably be deleted in the future anyway, so a speedy deletion would be the quickest and the least hassle. Thanks ≈ The Haunted Angel 17:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Huh. I based it on the Amazon sales page for it, as well as other vendor sites. Is this some sort of DVD re-release? If so, it should be replaced with a redirect to Live Bait for the Dead, not deleted. —dgies^t_c 17:25, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, it seems that what Amazon is selling there is Heavy, Left-Handed and Candid under a different name - if you check that article (Heavy, Left-Handed and Candid is the DVD, and Live Bait for the Dead is the CD) you'll see it is divided into two sections. The live concert on disc one is called "Eleven Burial Masses", which is also the CD Live Bait. There isn't gonna' be another Cradle release (The Cradle website makes no mention of a new release) under that name, as that concert has already been released twice, once as the CD, and once as the DVD. ≈ The Haunted Angel 17:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

My request for speedy delete

Hi. The user created the page while trying to contact me on my talk page. I've moved his comments to my talk page and informed him of the move and gave him a link to my actual talk page. If you could please delete the subpage, that would be great. Thank you Darry2385 01:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind. The page has been deleted. Darry2385 01:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I deleted it. I got confused for a second because the only contributer was not the person who tagged for deletion, but then I realized it was in your user subspace... —dgies^t_c 01:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

You're a sysop!

Hi, Dgies/Archive 3, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, block anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion for more than 5 days (provided there's a consensus), protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=
 PS Please add you name to WP:LA!

Thanks!

Archive_3, thank you very much for your support in my successful RfA. I am thankful and humbled by the trust that the community has placed in me, and I welcome any comments, questions or complaints that you may have. Again, thank you for your support, and happy editing! Hemlock Martinis 22:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Hi Dgies, I think that it may be a good idea to extend the block to indefinate, for this IP you blocked, because of continued vile personal attacks on talk page, and it appears that no constuctive contributions came from this IP. Do you plan to give the IP more warnings first, assuming good faith that they will stop?--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 23:49, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

As a rule, IPs are not indefinitely blocked because they may be shared by multiple people or reassigned to innocent users. This IP only had a single day of attacks so for now I'll treat it as a one-time occurrence. If they continue after the block expires, they will warrant a longer block. —dgies^t_c 23:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

OK. I have another illrelevant question. If a talk page of an permanetely blocked user is fully protected, as oppose to semi-protected, but then an administrator deletes the talk page, would that blocked user still be unable to edit their talk page, by creating it again, or would they still be unable to edit their "deleted talk page", being a "blocked user".--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 01:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Page deletion removes and existing protection, so it would be unprotected. It would only still be protected if it was transcluded onto another page with cascading protection enabled. For more information, see WP:SALT. —dgies^t_c 02:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

username

Hi again. Polakworrior, who you blocked, doesn't seem to agree that the name is inapproprite, nor do I understand why it would be. I gave additional advice, restating some things that were already said, and trying to say it in a way it would be understood. Perhaps, you can give addition information from here.(You're doing a great job as an administrator, and I hope you are enjoying the extended service to the community. Keep up the great work.)--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 03:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Polack is an ethnic slur, and WP:UN prohibits those usernames. ("Slurs, profanity and obscenities") I will unblock and file a WP:RFCN case so they can make their case. —dgies^t_c 04:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah, yes, those kind of names should be immediately blocked without consideration. I had no idea what Polak meant, but now I completely understand the situation, and if you haven't already, I will let the user know on their talk page.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 04:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

But I was not fast enough to do it, running into the edit conflict that you got it covered.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 04:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

It was Wikipedier. I guess I should have mentioned that earlier. Yes, I remember you from when I reported Iwasdeadforever, and you said that you didn't think it was inappropriete, exerising good judgement, and why I supported you. I didn't see it coming, my username being inappropriete. This was hard for me to swallow. So I was in a hurry to change it pronto.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 04:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I meant User:Wikipedier when I said Wikipedier.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 21:40, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Your Award

Well here is what I have. Only preliminary concept material, so let me know what further specifications you would like.

Aequo 23:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

It's a good start. The "drawing" part especially is just about ideal. I was looking for something which looks more like an actual manual than an award. So it wouldn't say award, and it would look like a book. Perhaps you could use either Image:Sermon.jpg or Image:Ralph Chaplin IWW booklet.jpg as a base and then using transparency, add on the picture and "MOP & BUCKET OWNER'S MANUAL" in a blocky font. —dgies^t_c 00:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

re: New admin coaching award

I was thinking that there should be a special "thank-you" award for people who have been helpful in the admin coaching program. By chance I met someone on IRC who wanted to make a Wikipedia award in Photoshop. Through consultation Aequo made Image:Mopbucketmanual.jpg for me. Do you think it should be listed on any of the admin coaching subpages? I'm not quite sure where it should go... —dgies^t_c 15:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Re. Your block of Louispgagne

Yeah, both for 3RR. I wasn't going to block any of them for vandalism. Especially because the user that was reported had been attempting to discuss the changes on the talk page. I was considering protection as well, but decided to watchlist the article instead. :-) Best regards, Húsönd 02:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

re:talk page blanking

Why not? Seems a slightly odd way of going about things especially as there is the {{subst:uw-tpv1}} warning message. Surely blanking out recent warnings to avoid other editors doling out the appropriate warning does constitute vandalism as per any other form of blanking? Maybe that's just my opinion, but as I detest vandalism, I would see it that way! --Samtheboy ^(t/c) 06:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow-up. It's just rather frustrating when people do blank valid user warnings (i.e. ones that have resulted in a block) as it makes my life (as a recent changes patroller) more difficult! Ho hum, thanks for your time! --Samtheboy ^(t/c) 06:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

If you're asking for purposes of a possible user name block, I'd say no, leave it be unless they show signs of spamming. The top search hits I find for it are just some MySpace account. —dgies^t_c 15:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Request for Help

I and others are having problems with two users, User:Kd lvr and User:Kdkatpir2. These two user accounts were made within three hours of each other on September 18th, 2006 (so sockpuppetry is suspected) and the users are personal attacking, violation of WP:OWN, among other rules I am not aware of and causing a ton of problems on KDKA-TV and related pages. Some help is requested. Thanks...SVRTVDude ^(VT) 21:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

It's a tricky situation. First, aside from a couple snarky comments, I'm not seeing anything that's an overt personal attack. WP:OWN is policy, but not directly something a user can be blocked for. I'm not seeing WP:3RR violations (but if they exist, please show me the diffs). As for sockpuppetry, while they are almost certainly related, it's hard to tell if they are the same person or just, say, coworkers at KDKA, which would be "meatpuppetry". Even then, aside from double-voting in AFDs, they're not doing major no-nos like block evasion or 3RR gaming. I will cross-post to WP:ANI for a 2nd opinion. —dgies^t_c 21:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks....I and a couple others are keeping a very close eye on both of them so no vandalism or edit wars break out. I will look and see if there have been any reverts today. Thanks again...SVRTVDude ^(VT) 22:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

If you look at my talk page, You will see some evidence. His "curtain is falling down". I suspect he will start to get sneaky and try to make it look like two people; so I suggestion action be taken. Thanks, --TREYWiki 02:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

It's obvious that the 2 accounts are related, and it doesn't really matter whether they are the same person or just friends. Let me know if you see misconduct besides just the use of 2 accounts. —dgies^t_c 02:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: MAC Cosmetics

Received your note. I was the one who reported the editing war originally. I'm sure you'll see from the history that what I edited out was Spam and Vandalism.

Regardless, thank you for intervening and locking the page. 24.46.123.100 00:41, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Judas Is Getting Ass Raped In Hell

I this case, should the account creation block be lifted, so that the user can have a chance to create a new account with an appropriete username, unless it's a sock.--U.S.A. cubed 02:21, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

No. Account creation is allowed and the autoblock is disabled when a good-faith user (or future user) inadvertently chooses a name that violates the username policy. There is no way that someone believed that "Judas Is Getting Ass Raped In Hell" was going to be an allowable username, and in fact this is one of at least 15 similar names that have been blocked within the past hour or so.

For username blocks, you'd generally be correct, but there's been a rash of blasphemous accounts so it's probably all one person and we shouldn't let them make more. —dgies^t_c 02:25, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Your comment on User talk:Kkrouni.

You said that Raul should Checkuser Kjrouni. The fact Raul checkusered Cowboy Rocco is why Kkrouni was blocked actually. Funpika 23:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, I recommend you go to that user talk page and a comment on the block again. Funpika 23:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, but I've made up my mind and I don't think there's much he could say which would convince me or any other admin it was just a coincidence. —dgies^t_c 23:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

ACN inc. talk page

Hi, may I remove all comments (including mine) made on the talk page of ACN inc. that have nothing to do with the content of the wiki? The talk page is full of off topic posts (of which I am partly responsible) and could do with a clean out.

Tristan.buckmaster 06:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure, or better yet, just archive everything stale. See Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page. —dgies^t_c 16:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

User:219.95.37.175

There's a discussion at AN/I regarding the above user making death threats, I'm a bit concerned that you've blocked the IP for this, it's not a threat, it's just simple nonsense which could have been dealt with via a warning. Was there any other reason? Ryan Postlethwaite 17:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Never mind your on AN/I now anyway. Ryan Postlethwaite 17:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I treated it as a (admittedly improbable) threat because they kept making the same vandalism and having it removed, so it was clearly directed at the person removing vandalism. I was under the impression threats are to be treated very seriously. If you think it was overly harsh you can unblock/warn. —dgies^t_c 17:33, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not undoing one of your blocks, I just fail to see how that was threatening the user that kept removing it, did it mention his name? Ryan Postlethwaite 17:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

This is moot now as its on AN/I so I'll respond there. Ryan Postlethwaite 17:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Your comment re: 3RR violation by me

Dgies, I appreciate your relaying of my unblock request to the admin that installed the block. However, I am concerned because I do not understand the basis for your comment that I "clearly did violate 3RR". May I ask your basis for saying this? My edits in no way attempted to delete the work of others, and it is my belief that the material I introduced was authoritative, reliable, and verifiable. The users involved in the dispute -- in particular the one that filed a 3RR violation report -- made no significant attempt to engage on the talk page. Your further response could be very valuable in helping me better understand the 3RR policy. If you want to leave it here, a message to the effect that you replied would be appreciated. A response on my talk page would also be fine.--68.54.18.57 04:23, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

You added the same content 4 times in under 24 hours. That's WP:3RR. 3RR doesn't make judgements about whether someone's edits are authoritative, reliable, or verifiable, it only makes exceptions for obvious vandalism, copyright violations, and unsourced libel. —dgies^t_c 04:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Recent block

Hi, I tweaked the block on User:DickBeater2000 to a full block since the only contribution indicated an obvious throwaway vandal account. --Wafulz 18:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. I was tempted to do that anyway but they only made one edit. —dgies^t_c 18:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Restoring prod tags

The reason I reverted the prod tag, was that the person who removed the tag was a vandalism-only account, and while in hot pursuit I assumed this one was an act of vandalism as well. His opinion shouldn't be taken into account at all, but yours is a different matter, and since you think the Golden Bear Stadium shouldn't have a prod, it shouldn't. Peace, Maurog 22:08, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Honestly I think it should be deleted, but that prod removal doesn't look like vandalism to me, so it is a valid, if unexplained objection. —dgies^t_c 22:10, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Social cycle theory (Sarkar) AFD

I'd strongly suggest relisting, considering that majority of votes were cast by new users / possible socks. -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  07:13, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I noticed the socks, but I also noticed that the main deletion arguments were a lack of notability/sources, and a suggestion that it be merged, but no consensus on what parts or where to merge it to. Since several (apparently reliable) sources were added later, that kills the main deletion argument, and if someone with more subject knowledge wants to merge later, they can still do that. —dgies^t_c 07:19, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

The basic issue is which article has claim to the title Social Cycle Theory

See also: Social cycle theory (Sarkar)

The important thing is that Piotrus chose Social cycle theory as a name for a page he created about theories of social dynamics. He is now trying to kill the Sarkar page because it upsets this arrangement by laying claim to the name. Indeed, it is a fact the name first came with Sarkar's theory. Before that no one referred to the theories on this page as social cycle theories. As a compromise, on the Talk:Social_cycle_theory I have proposed the article created by Piotrus be renamed to the plural Social Cycle Theories and the Sarkar page named in singular Social Cycle Theory. Piotrus, however, has wasted no time to oppose the proposed solution. Now he is trying to rally support elsewhere to relist the Sarkar page for deletion in the vain hope of getting rid of the problem that way. That is not going to happen simply because Sarkar's theory is too important and has become too well known. To have to enter a debate like this is no fun, but I´m afraid the issue will not go away until the correct solution is finally adopted.Ramayan 19:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

You two are having a dispute about page naming conventions and ownership of a theory. I don't know who's right and frankly I don't care, but neither of you have articulated a good reason to delete the other's page. Until you can come to an agreement on page naming, you get the status quo. —dgies^t_c 19:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Good job on that one, are you some kind of article-writing dervish? Did you have some preexisting source you wikified to make the new version? —dgies^t_c 16:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Twin Towers hit squad (talk · contribs)

Can you please lift the account creation block for this user, being that fact that you blocked the user for having an inappropriete username.--U. S. A. 22:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Their only edit was a personal attack on someone's userpage, which suggests this is a sockpuppet account for block evasion. I suppose I should have been more clear in the block log, but was there any particular you wanted them free to make a new account? They didn't place {{unblock}} on their talk page... —dgies^t_c 22:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

They did not continue after their warning, and I thought inappropriete usernames shouldn't have the ACB. If the user is a sockpuppet of another editor, that would be another case, but I'll trust your judgement.--U. S. A. 22:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

For a run-of-the-mill vandal, yes, they shouldn't be blocked without continuing past warning, but this strongly suggested to me they had already been blocked and were only going to use the account for harassment. In general, username blocks should not have ACB set, but when it is clearly intended to be disruptive I consider some account creations essentially vandalism in their own right. —dgies^t_c 22:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Ashley Beedle

This is a bit inexplicable. Google's cached page gives the prod reason as "Unsourced biography, has existed in unsourced state for substantial amount of time", yet you cite A7 in the deletion log. AFAIK being merely unsourced has never been a speedy criterion, and a search at the usual venues will turn up more than enough to satisfy notability. –Unint 22:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

It was prodded for being unsourced, but I deleted it under speedy deletion criteria A7: non-notable biography. There was no assertion in the article of why this person is a notable musician. Now that I dig through it, it had links to other articles which could have been used to assert notability, but they didn't and it was deleted. If you can show why this person is notable and want to add that to the article I will restore it so you can work on it. —dgies^t_c 22:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Would a profile in The Guardian be sufficient? Otherwise, I'm not about to adopt the article or anything, but I'll see if others are interested. –Unint 01:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
