Sorry for the delay, but thanks for the barnstar and the nom. Had to think about it but I'll accept your nom and we'll see what happens. – Zedla (talk) 21:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

My error

My sincere apologies for the problem caused by my use of WikiCleaner. I was using it to pinpoint pages in need of corrective action and was indeed viewing and fixing each individually. I wasnt aware of glitches or problems with the 'tool' and had no idea that it was automatically making so many inaccurate changes, entirely independent of myself. The realization of this dilemma is frustrating because I honestly contributed a significant number of accurate, productive edits. Thanks--1oddbins1 (talk) 22:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which succeeded with 71 support, 14 oppose, and 5 neutral. Thanks for your participation. I hope I serve you well!

You're quite welcome! 22:09, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Hello! I just wanted to pass along my thanks for your support in my RfA from earlier this week. I hope I did not disappoint you. I am going on Wikibreak and I will let you know when or if I am back on the site -- I am trying to take time away to clear my thoughts and refocus on this and other priorities. Be well. Ecoleetage (talk) 04:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Your quite welcome! 22:09, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you for the assessment on Carmel High School (Mundelein, Illinois). I have not been doing as much work on it recently , as I have been doing more work on other articles with a new source of references. I hope to get back around to that one soon. Best of luck on your studies, naval and otherwise. LonelyBeacon (talk) 22:05, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Your quite welcome! 22:08, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Grawp

OK, so I've read that you, like the most of us here, have a deep vendetta against Grawp. I see that you posted about the possibility of a crackdown on the vandal mob, ala Operation Buccaneer, and that some people disagree somewhat to what you said about the botnet. I dunno, but since the contribution log and the LTA page are clear evidences against the mob's inappropriate and malicious humor, maybe a court case is possible, although I'm not sure about the exact violation the group will face (either harassment, malicious mischief, or a violation of the Communications Decency Act, judging from the pornographic/sexually expicit images in the Encyclopedia Dramatica page used to coordinate Grawp vandalism). If so (since it is now known that a group in ED is responsible), then Dramatica might be at risk of being taken down by the feds for malware and other malicious activities. I think WP has the right to sue anyone who's doing malicious things here in the site. I visit ED, and I laugh at some of their jokes, but some of their users have been inclining on disrupting others for no reason, or as they say, "for the lulz". I also do comedy stuff for the lulz, but not vandalizing Wikipedia or any other wiki that the mob is targeting. Blake Gripling (talk) 13:15, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

GA review on PCHS complete

I've completed the GA review of Port Charlotte High School; you can read it at the article's talk page. I've placed the article on hold to give you a chance to respond to the points I raised there. I'll let it stay on hold for at least seven days, and would be willing to let it go longer if you would like more time to work on it. Good luck with the article. Mike Christie (talk) 00:14, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

All right, thank you! 12:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:ABUSE

Hi,

Ive made a proposal and would like your POV, thanks   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 02:28, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

IP address 76.7.95.112 - misleading information

This IP address is NOT, I repeat NOT, limited to the library to which you singularly designate. It is a registerd IP address of Charlotte County government for various county institutions. Why don't you do research before you defend misleading information, of which you are the source. Women are less likely to contact rape and domestic violence centers in the county if a stalker or ex husband or boyfriend can locate their place of emailing via Wikipedia, thanks to you. IP addresses appear in email header information in case you were unaware, even ones sent via website email forms. 76.7.95.112 (talk) 15:24, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

If it's such a pressing issue, then you should have politely asked the information to be oversighted, explaining the reason why the information must be removed, rather than removing the information using the "edit this page" button, which still leaves the information in history, leaving a vague edit description, and then leaving such a nasty note when the information is removed by a regular editor who thinks he is dealing with a newbie who doesn't know our policy. Furthermore, I think that such victums should consider creating an account anyway since it takes about one whole minute, requires very little personal info to be revealed, and completely hides the IP address from anyone who isn't a checkuser, and there's about ten checkusers on this site worldwide, making the chances that one of these big bad dirtbags having such an account much lower than that of such a nutcase knowing who the IP belongs to without even needing the template. Also, if the cops needed to trace the IP, they could request that a checkuser give them the IP address unlike the dirtbag ex whatevers (and we're quite careful with who we reveal checkuser results to). Also, if that's not just for that library, wouldn't sending a psyco on a wild goose chase to the wrong place be a good thing? 00:44, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

If they use Gmail, then the IP will NOT appear in the full headers. Also, I must say that if I was in such a situation, I'd be using a freaking open proxy such as Ninja Proxy. As far as victums being less likely to contact rape centers over all of this, I'd think they'd know to use a proxy too if they knew all about full headers and crap. That's mostly spam fighters that know about full headers, and they usually know that spammers have a bad habit of abusing such proxies. If the library blocks the proxies, then they should ask to bypass the filter (and I know it is possible to bypass it).

01:34, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting the imprecise information in the notice at the top of the shared-IP user talk page. I am right now using a computer with the indicated IP address and it is not at the physical location you originally designated. I have not made any vandal edits that may be indicated on that page and such is the problem with shared IPs; not everyone is guilty. 76.7.95.112 (talk) 15:29, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Would you be content to live in a police state where freedom of expression is completely restricted?

Because going on the information on your userpage and your contributions, you seem to want to make this place a bit like North Korea.--ArticleDiscussion (talk) 09:31, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

No, absolutly not. I'm anti socialism, anti communism, and anti dictatorship. Whst the heck makes you think that? 11:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Red envelope

All I edited was someone's jibberish typing ("CChinskndksndknsdl..."). The page has received a lot of vandalism; you may have mistaken my edit for vandalism. I should have just logged in to my regular account. Lesson learned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.147.109 (talk) 22:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry 'bout that, I'll remove the warning. I guess your IP kinda blended in with all those vandal IPs. 22:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

PCHS GA review update

Hi -- sorry I've been a bit slow about updating the review. It's now quite close. There are three remaining things to do to pass GA. See the review for a little more info, but basically they are:

• The lead has a reference to a recent teacher firing that is not mentioned in the body; either delete it from the lead or mention it in the body with a cite.
• There is one {{citation needed}} tag to clean up.
• Footnote six links to Wikipedia, which is not a reliable source.
• Please change the caption from "Yes, I am a Pirate!" to something like "Main entrance" or "Port Charlotte High School".

Let me know if you have any questions. I am away from home this weekend and may not have net access so it might be early next week by the time I reply to anything you post. -- Mike Christie (talk) 03:56, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I just addressed each of these issues. :) 21:42, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks good. I just passed it GA; congratulations. Mike Christie (talk) 21:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
