FYI. Ive added to you previous range block of the "Asia pres" troll, see [1]. thanks--Hu12 (talk) 22:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TRM's nom

Thanks. I'm having quite a stressful day IRL, so that was really helpful. --Dweller (talk) 14:45, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFB comment

Hey AO. Thanks for supporting, but just a quick note re your comment [Well, what Neil has done (oppose all reconfirmation RFAs, regardless of who is re-running) is, in a way, an equally flimsy grounded oppose.)]. If I opposed reconfirmation RFA just because I believe they are unnecessary, it would be a flimsy protest vote. But there's a deeper meaning - the fact they are unnecessary suggests to me the only reason a user would take one is to obtain a community "pat on the back" prior to regaining the sysop bit, when all the time he/she could have just requested from a bureaucrat, anyway. Unnecessary bureaucracy is anathema to me - my career IRL is based on eliminating it. Additionally, I also feel admins who care "too much" about what the community thinks of them are prone to being unstable and unreliable, and need a confirmation is evidence of that mindset. I think an admin who needs an unnecessary reconfirmation before retaking the tools is too sensitive for the role. That's why they are unnecessary. Neıl ☎ 16:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I wasn't expecting a retraction - that's fine. I just thought a little background would be informative. Cheers. Neıl ☎ 17:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TRM RFB

Thanks. And thanks for your encouragement. We'll see how it goes! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about that, every time I see your username I have an urge to leap for the block button....! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:30, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

WikiThanks

Thank you, AndonicO, for your support in my RfB. I appreciate your trust. Acalamari 22:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WBFAN

Hi - The reason Rise and Fall wasn't credited to you is because it was credited to user:AO. Like the comment says at WP:WBFAN, direct edits generally will have very little effect (the bot recreates it from the source lists, pretty much every day). This edit will fix it permanently. -- Rick Block (talk) 01:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pot-de-fer

The Cannon work spurred me on. Even with 2,500,000+ articles, you still find something to write about. bibliomaniac 1 5 22:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you liked the last one, you will love this one

So I got to thinking after a short 100 edit reverting vandalism marathon (half reverts, half warnings and a couple mistakes of mine that I fixed), what could I make to brighten the day, I think my latest conception is as great or greater then my last one. Please have a look at the 42^nd Cabal its awesome! (yes the html scripting was taken from the Bathrobe Cabal)--Pewwer42 Talk 07:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MfD

Yeah, I managed to figure that out a few minutes ago. I think the problem lay in the fact that your nomination was exceedingly short and altogether too clear; my practice at XfD is to write exorbitantly long nominations that say relatively little, and surely nothing persuasive, and I am ill-suited to handle, you know, cogency. Thanks, in any case, for catching my oversight (especially since I intended later to offer at MfD some diffuse commentary on the autograph books MfD), and apologies for my failure to read more carefully.

MFD Userfication

Hey, I closed the discussion for Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:I'm_Proud_to_be_a_Wikipedian as essentially moot but then realized you didn't actually complete the userfication - or you undid it. This was pretty well WP:SNOW for userfication. Could you delete the projectspace page? Also, did you copy the full history to userspace? I was a little unclear as to where it went in userspace, it looked like Wizardman said he created it in userspace at User:Nothing444/contest at the same time as it was nominated, which didn't make sense. Anyway, I thought about undoing my close once I realized the issues, but I think we can just get rid of the projectspace page if the history has been moved. Thanks.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 05:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He just moved it back again. You want to take care of this, I don't think there's any need to get an uninvolved admin.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 02:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Philipsburg, Montana

Thanks for protecting the Philipsburg, Montana article. That was flat-out nuts. What would've been the proper way for me to have handled that? Would a RFP request on the page worked? --JaGa (talk) 10:11, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to semi protection per vandalism. Zombie outbreaks hardly constitute a "dispute", Andonic0 :) Full protection is too excessive. —Dark ^(talk) 10:16, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pls note....

... that Jimmy Wales is protected... (although I agree with your deletion). ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 21:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

... and so is Rachel Marsden. Care to self-revert? GRBerry 21:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See here. If consensus is to keep it in, feel free to revert my edit. · AndonicO ^Hail! 21:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wales/Marsden

I was a bit bold, so if consensus is to revert that, I'm okay with it (I won't be around for a few hours). · AndonicO ^Hail! 21:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. After all, it's a lot more relevant to Marsden. This way we can treat the subject with a brief mention in the Wales article and go into it in better detail on Marsden's. --Merovingian (T, C) 21:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I replied to your query at user talk:EncMstr#Rachel_Marsden. —EncMstr 02:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Block expiry

I like your block expiration date here. Think they'll have reached maturity by then? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 06:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was curious also, so I asked. "I block blatant vandals for 29 years instead of indefinitely (technically a shorter period... and middle age usually fixes school vandals). This user in particular was vandalizing multiple pages (including a few that were deleted), so I blocked him for 29; if he wants to be unblocked, I have no problem with that as long as he decides to contribute constructively." :) Enigma ^msg! 07:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle

I just started using Huggle. I think I understand the basics, but wow. This program is overwhelming. I read WP:Huggle. After opening the program the first time, it certainly changes how I revert vandalism. I used to just focus on the few hundred pages on my watchlist. Now I'm viewing everything anywhere that is marked as possible vandalism. Enigma ^msg! 08:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned something about shortcuts. Memorizing all the shortcuts for the program seems a bit much. Which specific ones do you think are most helpful? Sorry for directing all the questions to you, but you're my Huggle contact! :) Enigma ^msg! 16:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About that IP vandal

Remember how I was talking about that vandal guy on IRC? Well, I've been doing some WHOIS searches on the latest IPs (especially the 172.x.x. ranges) and some of The UPN Vandal's old ones, and I do believe it's the same guy. He is adding false info into film/TV-related articles with poor grammar, which is what he used to always do. So I put {{Ipsock}} on the IP pages, like you said. You can block them, if you like. Also, some of the articles he's currently targeting are Happy Feet, Winx Club, Dreamworks Animation, and others. You can scout out the history pages of these articles to help uncover more IPs, and check those IPs' contributions to help find more articles he's targeting. Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. --AAA! (AAAA) 14:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Puncharoo is Probably a Komodo lover Sock

Hello AndonicO, I was on recent changes patrol and noticed someone posted concerns about User:Puncharoo being a Komodo lover sock. It seems fairly obvious that Puncharoo is Komodo lover, especially when this edit mentions all the topics/articles Komodo lover is notorious for adding hoax information. Do you mind if I extend the block to indefinite due to the evidence that shows his account to be a very likely sock?¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 18:12, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
