WP:AIV

OK, the IP you reported 209.158.191.252 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) is a judgement issue, and you were definitely not out of line in reporting it. I think about half the admins processing that one would have blocked the IP since it is a vandal who has a nastily long track record, but in this case I decided not to block, and instead give a {{subst:test4}}-warning for these reasons.

1. The last time the IP was warned was December 22 2005.
2. The vandalism from the IP ended about half an hour ago.

If there is any more trouble from the IP do not hesitate to re-report. By the way, thank you very much for your help in counteracting vandalism, it is a severe problem here and anyone helping in fighting it is doing a greatly appreciated job! Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:40, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Typo fix

Thanks for fixing the typo on the Yahiya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi article. I think the policy is to mark such corrections as minor edits. Thanks. :) --Nkv 12:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it's time I got myself a pair of specs. Sorry to bother you. :) --Nkv 03:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application

Dear DakAD,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - GIen 18:18, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Nil problemo :-)... kinda thought i'd get tuned down, but was worth a try --DakAD 18:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

category talk

That category was moved to Category:Wikipedians by D&D alignment. — xaosflux 01:15, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

ahthankinyou. updated the WP:EDIANS link to it. --DakAD 01:29, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Uncategorized articles

Please be aware that putting a stub marker on an article, as you did with Bohemian earspoon, isn't good enough - please put in an actual category. Stub categories are Misplaced Pages maintenance categories, not subject categories. Eli Falk 17:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:CVU status

The Misplaced Pages:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Rodney Gordon

A tag has been placed on Rodney Gordon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 04:16, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring at Fisting

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. HalJor (talk) 01:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I've blocked you for 24h for this. You are editing tendentiously and failing to respond meaningfully on the talk page. You are repeatedly re-inserting an attribution to "mich" as you put it in the full knowledge that is false; this is unacceptable William M. Connolley (talk) 13:51, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
