User:69.124.9.173 and cats

This is apparently User:Lg16spears acting under an IP as he came behind the IP and made the category. He has already made numerous bad categories that had to be deleted and apparently is still at it. *sigh* I've rolled back all of the IPs edits. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 03:47, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm share your frustration. I have been cautioned lately on getting involved with content disputes so I'm trying to be a bit more cautious in my approach. Once I saw the category created I stopped undoing their edits. Thanks for taking up my slack Tiderolls 03:52, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I'm going to report him to ANI, as he is now recreating categories he'd made before that were deleted in CfD. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 03:54, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More eyes would certainly be helpful. Good idea. Tiderolls 03:56, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user page the other day. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 19:11, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Always glad to help. I appreciate the positive feedback. See ya 'round Tiderolls 19:20, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE:

Heya Tiderolls, it was just missing a {{reflist}} in the references section, watch out for that next time ;). See you around, all the best Spitfire^Tally-ho! 21:24, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh...I didn't look there. I was so intent on the cites themselves. Good catch...thanks for the help Tiderolls 21:28, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anytime, not a problem, all the best, Spitfire^Tally-ho! 21:30, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

Have you ever thought of requesting protection for your userpage, so that these vandals can't keep attacking it? Until It Sleeps 04:15, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've had it protected for short periods when it's been a non-stop party. Since I watch RC my page is gonna be a target now and then. My only concern is the work it may create for others in reverting the noise. I don't really have a preference, though...click a button and it disappears. I'm open to other perspectives on protection...I may be missing something obvious. Regards Tiderolls 04:28, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

--BlackIdentity (talk) 12:13, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear of your difficulty...I am presently at work and can not give you an indepth response. I am going to read the page explaining use of external links and get back to you. Feel free to familiarize yourself with the guideline by clicking on this link. Please remember to be careful reverting the edits so as to avoid violating the three revert rule. Good to hear from you...take care Tiderolls 16:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have read the guideline for external links and there is a statement that could be problematical. In the section titled "Links normally to be avoided" there is this.."11) Links to blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority (this exception is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for biographies)". The pivotal concept is "recognized authority"....note that this exception has limited application. If you could provide facts that support your status as a recognized authority then your case for inclusion of the link would be strengthened. It's my assumption that the anon IP(s) are relying on this stipulation for their continued deletion. Please check with other editors whose judgement you trust...this is unfamiliar territory for me and my analysis, though well intentioned, may not cover the subject completely. I feel that you are editing in good faith and I apologize for not providing you with more solid support. The guidelines and policies are generated from a concensus and are put in place to keep the encyclpedia factual and reliable. Feel free to contact me if you feel I can be of any assistance. Take care Tiderolls 01:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the two reverts on my user page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:41, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I think you've done the same for me (after so many attacks it's difficult to keep straight). I've seen your user name on the RC page and I aprreciate the hard work you put forth. Tiderolls 02:39, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for undoing the damage to my user page.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 02:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to do it. I've seen your hard work on RC and I know how that can make one a target. Keep up the good work Tiderolls 02:36, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

It looks like you've been helping me and others by removing vandalism from our user pages. It is much appreciated. Alanraywiki (talk) 01:45, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome and thanks for the positive feedback. Tiderolls 02:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Matty560

I warned him for you about Coronation Street. Hope you don't mind.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 01:14, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. I hit the wrong button. I warn 98% because I'm looking for blatant vandalism. I sometimes let the odd grafitti go without a warning hoping the user was just bored...or testing....so something else and decides to move along. Thanks Tiderolls 01:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guess you must be doing something right, I think you've made a friend with Matty. ;) Ajh16 (talk) 01:26, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Make a friend and he gets blocked. Just my luck Tiderolls 01:28, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for keeping an eye out...

So fast I didn't even see it... [1]. 7 ^{talk | Δ |} 02:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is not a race, but some vandalistic edits just rub me the wrong way. I'm constantly reminding myself...calm...tranquility...there's no deadline... Tiderolls 02:13, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I try to remember to get at least 1-2 hours of a break from WP on the weekends. ;) Doesn't always work though. 7 ^{talk | Δ |} 02:14, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I admire your discipline. Rather, your attempt at discipline Tiderolls 02:24, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm only stating the obvious. How is that vandalism? 76.247.131.189 (talk) 04:19, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Contributions/172.163.34.68

Hi, thanks for your AIV report of this guy.

If you see someone doing that in the future, don't bother warning him, just report him to AIV straight away. If you want, make a note that he is the "infringement" vandal. Thanks for all your work with vandalfighting and your AIV reports. I don't think I've ever seen you make an incorrect one, and I've fielded a lot of reports from you.

Cheers. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 14:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I've seen that editor (or editors) inserting "infringement" in various articles several times. This was my first experience with the insertion into the artists' names. I guess variety IS the spice of life. Thanks for the positive feedback on my reporting. I don't think you will see a false report from me...not bragging, I'm just saying my mistakes are usually pointed out before they advance into a report :) Also, thanks for the quick action at AIV....I know I tax that system with my reports...lol...but the admins haven't complained so I'll keep reporting. Seriously, any advice or criticism is welcome. See ya 'round Tiderolls 14:24, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aboanity

Dear Mr(s). Tide rolls, Please don't send me scary messages. I just want my page back. Aboanity is very important to me, and I have been an Aboanitian girl for as long as I can remember. I am 11 years old, and I would apreciate it very much if you would put my Aboanity page back. From: --Aboanity33 (talk) 15:23, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is easy to get frustrated when things don't go your way. You must not let that frustration lead you to deface the user pages of other editors. That is why I reverted your edits...if you had come here after my first revert I would've explained how your edits appeared to be vandalism. I did not revert your messages on the users talk page as that's where they belong. Try to be more careful how you edit and you should not have any problems. Feel free to post any questions or concerns you have here and I will try to help. Good luck Tiderolls 15:29, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SORRY MISSUS OR MISTER, I JUST *SNIFF* WANT MY PAGE BACK. ABOANITISM OR ABOANITY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AN 11 YEAR OL ABOANITIAN GIRL SUCH AS MYSELF. IS VANDILISM LIKE THE GRAFFITI ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE?--Aboanity33 (talk) 15:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's some information you might find helpful: [2] Tiderolls 15:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UH...THANKS. BUT CAN I PLEASE JUST HAVE MY PAGE BACK? PLEEEEAAAAASE? FROM:--Aboanity33 (talk) 15:42, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your page was deleted by an administrator. I am not an administrator so I will not be able to restore your page. Your best course of action would be to follow the instruction of the admin that deleted your page. That editor will let you know why the page was deleted and how best to restore it, if restoration is possible. Good luck Tiderolls 15:45, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good Company

It's nice to know that I'm not the only jerk around here. :) Also, thank you for the reversions to my user page. Best, TNXMan 16:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good company indeed..lol...the announcement on that page indicates a promotion for me. Moet et Chandon all 'round. Cheers Tiderolls 18:51, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Julian Salvi

This is copyright infringement from other website. dont revert it.--Cveloe (talk) 01:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can appreciate that fact and have not reverted your other edits which carried summaries explaining your action. The edit I reverted had no such summary. My apologies for the revert, but any help you can provide by providing summaries is very helpful. Regards Tiderolls 01:35, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

:) Thanks for reverting that vandal on my talk page Until It Sleeps ^{Wake me} 04:59, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. You got him off mine as well, so I thank you. See ya 'round Tiderolls 05:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, a little bit of a surprise when I saved my section to find that image on there... And you're quite welcome :) Until It Sleeps ^{Wake me} 05:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking it was a weird edit conflict glitch. My HG has been puking all night, so I'm struggling to make sure I'm not "over reverting". I've seen several "action timed out messages" that were not true. Must be sunspots :) Tiderolls 05:06, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well these reply's are manual... I wish Gurch would hurry up and update the lite version... the full version is... crippled. It's slow as heck, and there's more bugs than ever... They just need to rewrite the whole thing, and in something other than Visual Basic .NET... Until It Sleeps ^{Wake me} 05:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My PC is old so I have that to overcome as well. I'm just glad there are so many watching RC because I know I'm missing many edits that need to be at least looked at. Tiderolls 05:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, at least my PC is much newer... On my old, ancient tower, 8.3 onward would actually lock up on my computer. 9.1 would probably force me to reset my computer due to the massive amount of bugs and bloat in it... Until It Sleeps ^{Wake me} 05:18, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I started with 9.0 so I can't compare the versions. I'm using the full version and I usually have to log out and restart every hour to 90 minutes. Not that bad, but very ineffecient. Tiderolls 05:23, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

you

I bet you think your so cool becuase you reverted my vandalism.
