Personal Attacks?!

WTF!!! Did you read the discussion - I was the one being attacked, and yet you reverted my edit and did not tell Emir Arven to stop personal attacks against me. Unbelieveable! —KingIvan 03:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

, , and constitute personal attacks, which violate Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks. Responding to personal attacks by other users does not justify making personal attacks yourself. I will, however, warn any other users involved in this dispute who made personal attacks. Please do not restore the personal attacks to User talk:Elaragirl. John254 03:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

My last comment on that page (which was "Spread your shit on bs.wikipedia - on the en, we don't take crap!") was not a personal attack - I'm merely directing someone to the Misplaced Pages which is in the editor's first language. But besides that, if my last comment on that page is removed, then that discussion will have ended with a personal attack against me. (The last version without any "personal attacks" is this - http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Elaragirl&oldid=102135133). It's either remove all of them, or none of them. —KingIvan 03:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

But yes, I do realize how they can be seen as personal attacks. I've calmed down, and might go watch some TV (I think the Australian Open is on) —KingIvan 04:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Mistake on AIV

I inadvertently removed your report before applying the block rather than the other way around. I should have realized that the two functions aren't commutative. :) Please pardon the mistake, this is my first hour of doing this. Regards, Newyorkbrad 01:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

"No longer needed"

You do realize that there's zero benefit in deleting old user or talk pages that contain significant content? It remains on the servers either way, and issues such as turning up in searches can be resolved by blanking. The only reason to delete is if you want to hide something from view.

Fake newbies welcome message spambot

Hello I see you placed a speedy delete tag on User talk:Lhenryiii. Actually if you had placed the correct wecome message {{wellcome}} if would have fixed the problem at once. There is a vandal bot adding these. Any chance of some help reverting it? Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 23:16, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Homosexuality and medical science article

Would you mind moving that articlle back to the mainspace? Redirects to userspace are not allowed and as such the redirect to your user subpage has been deleted per WP:CSD. That means there is no way for people who were planning to work on the article to find it! There have been various discussions about the page and I have suggested it be split into articles about- (1) HIV/AIDS and its incidence among the gay community, (2) whether homosexuality is caused by genetic or environmental factors and (3) reproduction for same-sex couples. Which seems better than this bizarre combination of those topics. References can be added during this process. But it would be helpful if the article could go back to mainspace so contributors other than yourself can work on it. Many thanks, WJBscribe 03:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I've now seen the AfD so understand the move. Is it OK if I make known the presence of the article in your userspace to those interested in developing new sourced article(s)? WJBscribe 04:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. WJBscribe 04:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Reverting OrphanBot

Could you please look at what you're reverting before reverting OrphanBot's actions? OrphanBot correctly identified those images as not having a source, and tagged them accordingly. --Carnildo 01:45, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Your AIV report

Thank you for making a report in respect of User:Jochic on the page Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. However, we have been unable to block this user because the user has not received a final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) recently or has not vandalised since that warning was given. If a user who has not been warned vandalises a page please ensure they receive the appropriate warning and only report them on AIV if they vandalise again soon after receiving a final warning. Thank you.

Jochic (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is a blatantly obvious sockpuppet of 87.116.145.81 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), who was recently blocked for the exact same vandalism. We need not give each sockpuppet a series of warnings before being blocked. John254 15:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the revert of that troll on my talk page. Looking at your history I see you're active in helping and reporting these, keep up the good work —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheBilly (talk • contribs) 17:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC).

John, Thanks for your help with correcting the Stoke Newington School web site. I am Chair of Governors there and am concerned at the wide range of inaccurate information (Mark Emmerson is in fact still the head), abuse and libel (accusing senior staff of coacaine use and other acts).

While I hugely value wikipedia's model of open editing, is there nothing that can be done to stop such practices?

Vandalism comments

Hi John, I appreciate that you took the time to explain your case. I just saw your comments at the vandalism talk-page but I'm at work now. I'll take a look at it in more detail when I get home, but thanks very much for registering them. Ekantik 17:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Hey John,

I just would like to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 54/13/11. I appreciate the trust expressed by members of the community, and will do my best to uphold it.

Naturally, I am still becoming accustomed to using the new tools, so if you have suggestions or feedback, or need anything please let me know. - Gilliam 21:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The

Without prejudice, I've reverted your close of this debate. Please make sure that when you close deletion debates that you user Template:Oldafdfull on the talk page, eh? - brenneman 06:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Your 3RR report

Hi John, could you please let me know what your involvement was in the User:ElKevbo 3RR incident? If you'd like, you can email me. Thanks, Crum375 04:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
