Hello

Good to find you on here. I have deleted your bit about corrupt power from chess on the article about school. Alex Holowczak 21:46, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No that wasn't me... Probably an estranged IP editor. I shall tidy a few bits up on there, such as making the link a sentence, and deleting your bit about modelling it on Harry Potter... Alex Holowczak 21:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're joking! Actually, come to think of it, I remember posters going up around school about something like that... Oh well, I'll leave that in, but I will put the link to the chess website in the article. Alex Holowczak 22:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a section about the School Council, and edited facilities to include the notice board in the foyer. Alex Holowczak 19:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC) (P.S. Can you tell me your e-mail address - it would be easier to tell you via Hotmail than constantly editing your talk page!)[reply]

Take a look at the page I created in the chess section about the DJ Wright Trophy Winners (I turned it into a history page...) Alex Holowczak 20:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You posted that the article about the Guild/3of'em was nonsense. I was just wondering what exactly made it nonsense? I didn't exactly understand. Thank you in advance.--MasterMemo 20:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think I understand why the article was deleted. I need to look at the guidlines a little better. I don't understand what you meant that it didn't explain what it was about.--MasterMemo 01:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering.. how do I alert an admin of someone that has violated their last blocking warning? In this particular case I'm talking about the IP 207.241.244.1. It was warned yesterday but has just been vandalising this article. Thanks.

You can report such instances at

WP:AIV though it is often the case that admins expect a very recent warning to have been issued before acting. I'll take a look at that one for you. --pgk 18:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply

The third track is called my little drum- not little drummer boy. I fixed a mistake, and I was not vandalizing. If you want wikipedia to be factually correct, you should accept my edit. I am right.

I made constructive edits to Pine Crest School but they were removed because I was told I didn't have sources (they were factual i.e. we had 27 national merit semifinalists this year - the highest in the state of florida for any private school etc.) but they were all removed because i didn't have "sources". Take a look at the Pine Crest School page --- the whole studnet life section and many of the other sections HAVE NO SOURCES. None of that info is contained on the PC homepage. Why does that get to stay? It's not really fair. It seems this type of domineering is not conducive to productive editing by users. It's not my fault Pine Crest has not decided to post an announcement on the internet about these things. And the kids are completely censored from publishing criticism of the school - we would get expelled or suspended. So does that mean Pine Crest has succeeded in censoring wikipedia since we can't site a "source" where the criticism is coming from -- even if it is legitimate such as "Some students feel that the administration's censorship of student publications such as Type 1 and the Scribbler is unjust." (Or something along those lines) Wikipedia is really letting me down here. Thanks.

PS - and NOW you just reverted the farris hassan and alumnae/i edits! Ah! This is so sad. Hassan is not an alumnus. This is INCORRECT information. You can change the heading and section to "notable alumni and current students" - that would be correct. current alumni is not! He is a current student, class of 2007 - he's a senior! AND what is wrong with putting alumnae/i instead? Must you REALLY edit that? it is along the same lines as using the pronoun he to refer to a child when that child could be a boy or a girl. it is sexist language - pick up any MLA book and read, they warn against this - just because alumni is latin doesn't mean it gets an exemption from the rule! what is going on? I thought wikipedia was about useful, correct, factual, productive, fair editing?

Thanks for the kind response. Can I put the edits back then? Would it be a better idea to change it to "notable alumnae/i and current students" - and keep hassan, rather than remove him? I think that would be best. He does have a place on the page since many people know who he is now. 65.34.134.90 18:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I'm a bit confused now, sorry. It has always said "notable alumni" - I wasn't the one who put it there. That's what it has always said. What I question is putting Hassan down as an "alumni" since that term is used for GRADUATES of an institution and he is still a current student. See? I wasn't questioning the use of the term "notable" - unless you think it is trite since as you stated: everything on wiki is notable. my second concern was the use of the world alumni to refer both to men and women - see usage note here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alumni or any standard

Hi! Yes, I got confused...that's probably what comes of looking at diffs in popups. I'm not sure I agree with removing the wikilink to American completely -- I don't really think it constitutes "excessive linking," and there's a reason why American is a dab page -- but I don't feel strongly about it, so I've no reason to change it back. Sorry for the confusion. :-) --Tkynerd 20:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your attempts to revert the vandalism to Matt Groening but it looks like both times you accidentally reverted to a previous vandal.

Rv vandalism to Pandora

Hi, I see that you reverted some vandalism to Pandora. I was following another nuisance editor's work and found that the preceding edit was also vandalism. Clearly you are doing a lot of hard work on Wikipedia, for which thank you, but I wonder if you could adapt your working method to pick up more than one vandal edit at a time?

User:170.211.121.61

Hate to break it to you, but this user that you blocked just a few days ago came back into Wikipedia and did it all over again. Not your fault in any way, but I see a lot of "last warning" and "blocked" tags on various vandals who know they're coming back. I'd rather see us increase the number of days these individuals are blocked, based on what they continue to do. Carajou 22:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting labeling

Hi LibLord, you might find it interesting that the information you recently shared with the above editor was blanked and she or he labeled both of us "overzealous vandals." Here is the diff [1]. --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 21:00, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i was already aware of the tags. now, kukini, you may stop your vendetta before you drive away a good faith wikipedia user (me) with over 7,000 edits. i told you this flamewar you started when you got bent out of shape because i exposed your carelessness in wikifying links was over yet you are now picking fights on every single edit in my archives. please, liblord, comment and intervene on the side of common sense. kukini may be an administrator but if you check the logs, he/she/it (legitimately not aware of kukini's gender) has been blocked for prior overzealous activity....abusing the 3RR rule. i have told kukini i am rallying troops to document info on the original site in question but that comment has not merited a response, only more semantics games and transparent instigative attacks from behind the administrator banner. i received this same treatment trying to start the entry Delaware State Fair a couple weeks ago and let me say it is driving legitimate users with good knowledge to share away from wikipedia. i trust that you liblord, based on your prior record, will come to a fair settlement before this wasting of time and energy goes on any longer. WillC 21:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback, LibLord. I really have no personal agenda in this whatsoever. Just working to make sure that the lists of "notable" people are, in fact notable. My only issues are with the quality of our work on wikipedia. I note you have a similar focus and appreciate your comments to new users learning how to respond appropriately to vandals on wikipedia. I appreciate this in you as well as you clear and consistent level-headedness. Keep up the GREAT work! Best, Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 04:44, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalizing Tony Banks page

I apologize for what may have seemed like vandalism on the Tony Banks talk page. I felt that the initial writing was mainly fancruft, and it did not contribute in any way to the progress made on the development of the article. Jphillst 12:41, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the edit was not vandalism, then I myself apologise. Removal of parts of articles is perfectly legitimate so long as you justify your decision on the talk page. Edits are also less likely to be identified as vandalism if you edit under a username, so if you had been logged in at the time I probably wouldn't have reverted it. Anyway thanks, keep up the good work, LibLord 14:41, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your request for rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of

  only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view

this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! —αἰτίας •discussion• 05:16, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply
