testing

Hi George,

Is this message system confidential, or are communications with you posted publicly? I've just started working on the "Recent Events" section of the IIDB (Internet Infidels) page, and wanted to make contact with you.

edit: saving this page answered my question above. I bypassed the preview screen while making minor edits on the IIDB page, thus my multiple edit counts. I was preparing sources when apparently a representative of IIDB deleted the whole "recent events" section on which I was working. It is an important matter to a subset of the secular freethought community and merits being added to the page in an acceptable format. I look forward to working on this and meeting Wiki's standards.

Nuclear pulse propulsion

edit

Hello this article needs some simplification as noted in Talk:Nuclear pulse propulsion, I left a note on the Physics project but so far it appears that the project is fairly inactive, you provided two of the images in the article and have worked with nuclear technology so it seems you are the most qualified person to help me, I would appreciate if you can help resolve this issue. 24.139.240.166 (talk) 20:40, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have already warned him with a level 2 warning tag, you really don't have to do it again before s/he does anything new. If s/he does anything again, I suggest using the WP:WARN tags and if it gets to final level warnings(like uw-bv or any level4 stuff), you can go to WP:AIV to report him/her. I hate this user and knows that s/he uses this IP to get around the block, but policies are policies and we have to do things a step at a time. MythSearchertalk 08:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why would I need AIV? I'm an administrator... My banhammer works just fine *flex*
There's a line of thinking that the standard stock warnings aren't as effective as personalized discussion. In cases where it bugs me, I use both (the subst:uw-vandalism3 etc, and a "Hey, what you're doing here is bad, please stop" personalized to the situation).
Anyways, good work. Happy holidays! Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 08:25, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Opps, sorry, I didn't notice you are an admin. I agree with personalized discussion as well, but this particular vandal seems to ignore all of those, so I only leave them there to tell others s/he is bad :P MythSearchertalk 08:39, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes, site now redirects directly to wikipedia.

Request to unprotect Interchange Fee page

edit

Hello, I see you've protected the Interchange fee entry so that only Admins can edit. Looking at the history, I can see why. However, I think sufficient time has elapsed since that vandal came through, and there is new news to update. I did a lot of work bringing the article up to the point where it is now this summer, and I'd like to be able to update it. Perhaps it could be protected only for new users? Please let me know, thanks. --Livefeeordie (talk) 16:33, 27 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I would like to add, I notice that the page is protected partly due to an OTRS issue, namely that the page was derived wholly or in part from another copyrighted work. Well, this is no longer the case since I rewrote the page earlier this year. As noted above, it's my version that's currently protected, and the troll you warned, User:Maitrisent hasn't returned since you temporarily blocked them. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. --Livefeeordie (talk) 15:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the note on my page. Please let me know when you have reviewed the situation and, I hope, unblocked the page so I can continue working on it. Thanks again --Livefeeordie (talk) 15:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unblock sock

edit

Of whom is this supposed to be a sock: User_talk:Spindleshank? He's asking for unblock. When blocking a sock, please put {{sockpuppet}} on their user page. THanks. Pls respond at the unblock too. RlevseTalk 12:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Picture

edit

At least let me leave my picture there for now. This all started because of an english project at Purdue University. When I have more time I'll work on a better addition for the U.S. Soldiers (without them sites like this probably wouldn't exist). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmouser (talkcontribs) 02:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
