What is fiction?

Is this section accurate? Is it complete? Please take a quick look. Thank you. The Transhumanist 00:12, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Good block

Have you seen Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Geopolitical ethnic and religious conflicts#Dravidians: Caucasoids or Australoids?? Dougweller (talk) 06:36, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

A time-sensitive request

If you're available and have the resources to assist with sending out notices to a small list of users, please consider the issue outlined at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#SOPA blackout. As of now, there's only about 11 hours to work with if we want to allow users a full day to follow up, so it is rather time-sensitive. If you think it's something you can pull off, let others know in one of those discussions accordingly. Cheers.   — C M B J   14:54, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Your input is needed on the SOPA initiative

Hi Thehelpfulone,

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.

Thank you.

Your script

Hi, I'd need the script you used to leave a notice to all the users which participated to the SOPA's discussion, Basically I have to do almost the same for the italian one. Thank you! --Vituzzu (talk) 12:22, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

thank you!

That was incredibly helpful. I really appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amoun-Pinudjem (talk • contribs) 17:57, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again and question-

Will the final edit be put back up? I just completely rewrote it a few days ago and now an editor is going to fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amoun-Pinudjem (talk • contribs) 18:00, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Fries Entertainment page deletion

Could you delete the page Fries Entertainment? The user Sacredwolf2012 managed to have copied background information from a site that I'm an administrator of. And one of the rules from Wikipedia did say users cannot copy any information from any websites and paste them.

Here is the page he got it from: http://www.closinglogos.com/page/Fries+Entertainment

Hello, Thehelpfulone. You have new messages at HJ Mitchell's talk page.

— HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:08, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Right to exist.

You protected this page due to an editwar... a warring user has almost blanked the disputed section without getting a consensus under a pretext of verification failed. This is not a BLP and the verification itself is disputed... this will fuel the editwar back.. not to mention he just came out of a block. Would it be right to revert back to the version that was protected? --lTopGunl (talk) 10:10, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Or you could of course discuss the issue on the talk page. None of the sources used supported that content. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:16, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

This is not about content. It is about your revert right after the protection expired. I just informed him... since I think the article needs a much longer protection. --lTopGunl (talk) 12:37, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey, do you know how to adopt a user? OKelly (talk) 03:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

User:JunoBeach

Can you have a look at the contributions of User:JunoBeach, clear attacks on other editors, disreputably removing COI template from "his" article. Mtking ^(edits) 22:07, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi! Can I possibly be granted rollback right? It would help me with reverting cross-wiki vandalisms. See my sul info and cross-wiki contribs.

Locking "Pink Panther and Sons" page.

Is there a way you or another administrator can lock the page Pink Panther and Sons? There appears to be a vandal using multiple IP addresses and vandalising the page using multiple false information over and over. King Shadeed 16:11, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate you again! Thanks! King Shadeed 16:30, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
