Unblocking of Idorunet

Well, he's at it again, vandalizing Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Wackymacs by removing Private Butcher's vote. --Nlu 01:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

I saw that one, I'm the one that fixed Private Butcher vote. But you can see the vandalism is minimal to nonexistent now, and since blocking him would block also CoolCat, I'm hesitant to block him for that minor flaw -- ( drini's vandalproof page ) 02:07, 1 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Wiffle bat award

I, Nlu, award you this wiffle bat for your patience in dealing with marginal users. I certainly don't have anywhere the same patience or persuasive ability.

VFD for Laura Alito

Where was the VFD for this article? I'd like to review the discussion that led to the deletion consensus. -O^O

No VFD, it was speedied as nonnotable bio (speedy criteria A7). Being the daughter of someone famous is no claim of notabilty (the notable person is the parent, not the son/daughter) so in the best of cases, it could be mentioned on the parent entry. -- ( drini's vandalproof page ) 04:19, 2 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Block

you appear to have blocked my ip adress from editing any pages, although it was in fact someone else with what i can only assume to be the same IP adress who 'offended', which meant that my update (sizeable) to the Scunthorpe United F.C. page was blocked.

Well maybe, but I don't know what ip is that, so I can't check or fix. -- ( drini's vandalproof page ) 17:18, 2 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

User Page

I had thought it was my perogative to edit my own user page; apparently I was wrong. This is an extremely offensive situation. Please Don't BlockPlease Don't Block

Your user page, certainly, but I don't think you should revert warnings off your talk page. --Nlu 05:27, 3 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
It represented a misunderstanding. I had attempted to edit the userpage of one of my own accounts by mistake, and anyway I didn't succeed. Please Don't BlockPlease Don't Block
Well, your user page yes (although you don't have 100% to say what goes on it, for instance if you post personal attacks on your user page, they will be removed). But this was the talk page, so grounds are more shaky, and you're removing other people's comments. If you take it offensively, well, sorry about that, but I'll just shrug as you ahve no reason to be offended. -- ( drini's vandalproof page ) 05:35, 3 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

New page for definition revision

I want to post a new page ("flashing sign") for the purpose of getting people to revise the definition I'm offering. Is there some place on the page where I can add a little note explaining my motives? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manjusri053 (talkcontribs) 06:18, 3 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

ON the talk page of such entry (create the entry, and on the edit summary write: "see the talk") -- ( drini's vandalproof page ) 06:20, 3 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Manjusri053 06:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

ray kay

hey, tried to make a article for my brother ray, but you deleted it because i pulled som text from his homepage.. do i have to totally rewrite the text? i basically want the same information there... the credits list i a fact thing, i can't really rewrite that ? i'm sorry i'm really new to this... :) i'll try to rewrite the tex or pull out som essence off it - but i can assure you - my brother will not sue me or anyone else for copyrightviolations of his own text... fred

Basically yes you cna't copy other websites, you need to rewrite the stuff, although I'd suggest you not to do it, since you being his brother, it'll be dificult for you to have a neutral point of view. Here's some food for the thought: if somebody is notable, someone else will write an article eventually. If your brother isn't, as much as you like him, his article is likely to be sent to Afd for deletion. -- ( drini's vandalproof page ) 01:36, 4 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

List of people who have beaten Bobby Fischer in chess

Drini, I noticed you merged the above into Bobby Fischer, then deleted the page. I was just wondering if you are aware of how the GFDL requirements to preserve attribution history impact merge & delete actions? If not, please see this discussion. For methods on how to perform a merge and delete, see this series of posts. Forgive me if you're aware of all this stuff—if you are, may I ask if you deliberately linked the AFD in your edit summary, which contains a link to the original page, which has a link to special:undelete, which of course lists the attribution history? Because, come to think of it, that's not a bad way to do things, I supose. Cheers encephalon 03:15, 4 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

NO I wasn't aware. Thanks for the information, encephalon. Hopefully I won't screw it again ;) -- ( drini's vandalproof page ) 04:36, 4 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
PS. That means you need to restore the page...:) -Splashtalk 04:53, 4 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Done :)
