Re: [Stalin's] Death== Report me where you want! (by User:66.99.3.88)
- OK Rklawton 21:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
I blocked the IP for 24 hours. I'll put the IP on my watchlist for a week or so, and perhaps extend the block. Right now, I'm just trying to clear up the backlog on that page.
By the way, nice meeting you! I don't think we have met before on Wikipedia. If you ever need anything, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. See you around! --HappyCamper 20:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- You sound like a really interesting person! I am in the process of writing some papers for my research. I don't have time to set aside for a textbook yet, but I would love to do that someday. Some of the topics I'm interested in are on my user page. My current goal is to create a series of useful templates to help guide readers around topics related to communications theory. If I'm lucky, I might do the same for polymers as well (but this is a little bit of wishful thinking on my part...maybe by the summer I'll get a chance to do this.)
- I tend to stay away from the limelight as well, but if I spot a backlog where I can help out, I'll usually jump in. Administrative activites on Wikipedia can be quite draining (and even stressful), so I tend to do only as much as I can handle - I guess you can say, I like to sit back and enjoy my coffee while reading/monitoring Wikipedia. I used to be much more active in articles for sure!
- By the way, I don't know if you are aware of this, but there is the reference desk which you might find interesting to browse through or participate in. I think it is the only place that has simultaneously minimal vandalism, "wikipolitics" (or whatnot), which is why it's a fun and relaxing place to be. Thanks again for your note :-) --HappyCamper 21:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Re: Original research
Re: please do not include your own research
- Silly. Obviously, research of such high quality must be plagiarized. Femto 19:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- I felt somewhat abashed about making such a bold claim. I thought I'd go with the more conservative approach. Rklawton 20:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I've removed your report of Boxcar288 (talk · contribs) from WP:AIV as he had only one edit, which was an image upload. To report 3RR violations, you should go to WP:AN/3RR and follow the procedure there. AmiDaniel (talk) 05:57, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ahh, sorry. As I only saw the one contribution from the user, I simply assumed that you had listed the wrong user. Anyway, getting a 3RR or vandalism block on him now would probably be rather difficult, though I do agree that his actions were highly inappropriate (though, as I'm not an admin, I have no way of looking at his deleted edits), and I will try to keep an eye on him. In the future, it will probably help to clarify these matters if you post appropriate warnings on the user's talk page, both because it serves to alert the user that his actions are wrong (often times newbs simply wonder where their edits went and never realize that someone else has been reverting their changes) and as it will let others know exactly what the problem with the user is. Anyway, sorry for the confusion. AmiDaniel (talk) 06:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Your comment
Thanks you for your advice. I was just stressful about it. If She had sent me message, I would have discussed with her to solve the problem of editing the article. So, I apologized her for my behaviour to give her warning.

- It takes character to recognize and apologize for a mistake. You will do well here. Rklawton 14:48, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: user talk pages
Hi Rklawton,
You recently left a welcome message on User:Gombert Girl's user page. I believe messages like these are supposed to be left on talk pages? That way the user gets a "you have new messages" note and she gets to create her user page herself when she gets around to it. But I wanted to confirm with you because you seem to be a more experienced editor than me. --Grace 21:15, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up on that one. I've made the correction. Cheers! Rklawton 21:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
McFly Sockpuppets

Re:I am the law!
Well "Discosphincter" was just blocked indefinitely, but I'm not sure what to do about the underlying IP. I think we have to request a "check user" and see if it's from the same IP, and then see if anyone else (not-vandals) also use it... I'll see what I can find. ... discospinster talk 13:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Please try and practice forgiveness, my child. oooooooh, child RevGeorgeMcFly 22:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
I checked further and changed my mind per WP:VAND and WP:NPA. User indef'ed. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 03:29, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Coolio. The guy seemed like a bit of a special case. Rklawton 03:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Blocked for a week, images deleted, thanks for the note. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:37, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- User:Juicy J seems to be learning, if slowly ;) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've blocked User:The Mystery Man for 1 month per my own criteria, "doesn't get it and/or doesn't care" (grin) and removed today's images. More likely need to go... :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 01:48, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Re: Sockpuppet?
Is User:Sean Black and User:68.64.65.89 the same person? I reverted Sean's edits to date article April 3 and promptly got flamed by the IP address.[1] I know Sean has had some temper problems in the past, and I'm asking for an admin's help to determine if this is more of the same. If so, his incivility (he should know better) and his use of an anonymous address to mask bad behavior needs to be noted. Rklawton 18:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- This is not important, you must just assume good faith and presume it is different people. {{helpme}} is for building the encyclopedia.--Commander Keane 18:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- I had the impression that such a check was useful, simple, and common. I'll see if I can find a more appropriate forum. Rklawton 19:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Dr. Rice
Thanks for the speedy removal. I was just talking to someone and we found this website Wikipedia Watch and were having a good laugh at it. He didn't believe me when I said that there are always people watching and bad stuff gets deleted quickly. Thanks again. --Snafuu 01:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
