[edit] JIm Shapiro

Hi: I am new to Wikipedia. My username is ArieltheUnicorn. I was utterly'dismayed'''''''at reading the messages about the article on Jim Shapiro. In fact, I used the link and read the article for myself to seee what all the fuss was about. My Dad always taught me to make up my own mind on things like this!! ;0) I AGREE COMPLETELY with the Administrators that the article should have been deleted IMMEDIATLEY!!!!! There was NOTHING positive in the article AT ALL!!! :( :( :( JIm Shapiro is apparently a complete SNAKE he is the type of attorney that all the jokes were made up about! You know, the ones that give the rest the bad reputation!

[edit] Deletion of The Maccast entry

Hi, On August 26th, 2007 I posted the following in your talkback and I have not received a response yet. Can you please upate me on this request? Thank you.

I am writing to request that you re-list the page related to my podcast. I currently have a page listing my bio here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Christianson and the Wiki link to the information on the podcast itself is a dead since this page was removed. Your rationale for de-listing was cited as CSD A7 - Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. My podcast is listened to by over 25,000 people worldwide each week. I would argue that is "significant". The show provides entertainment value on par or equal to that of other radio and video shows that are listed elsewhere on Wikipedia. Please reconsider your decision to remove this content. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phylaxis (talk • contribs) 05:27, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] removed AIV report

Sorry for the (apparently) invalid WP:AIV report. At the time, from what I understood, personal attacks in all forms are unacceptable. I was patrolling the sandbox, and found this, that looked like an attack. I warned, then he/she added this. I gave a final warning, and then the user added [1]. I thought that it was unacceptable for anyone to add something like " ALL OF THE WIKIPEDIA MODERATORS AND ADMINISTRATERS LOVE SUCKING COCK", "Wikipedier is a pussy", etc. I guess those kind of attacks don't warrent a block for WP:NPA, and I'll ignore such things in the future. Again, sorry for the invalid report.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 21:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Staten Island Railway stations

Hey Alphachimp, haven't seen you in a long time. Listen, I need to ask you a favor. Me and the other participants at WT:NYCPT have worked on creating articles for Staten Island Railway stations and have also modified {{Infobox NYCS}} for SIR article use. But we need to find the opening dates for the SIR articles. But we need to find the opening dates for the stations, and surprisingly; nycsubway.org and stationreporter.net have them. So let me know if you come across any sources that can provide this. I'll continue adding the infoboxes to the stations. Thanks.

Other than that, what's going on? I haven't seen you around the project for a long time. Knowing you're an admin an all, I really do hope you still do participate at the project. Marc Shepherd has also returned and we've also been getting a substantial amount of help from Larry V and NE2. So things at the project are okay, and I hope you're good too. So get back to me when you can, and enjoy your wikibreak. —Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs • email) 20:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar of Diligence

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		I hereby award Alphachimp the Barnstar of Diligence for their continued work in making sure that editors reported to Administrators intervention against vandalism are hastily reviewed for their vandalism, and blocked if necessary! The community appreciates your actions, because without Administrators like you, vandals would be running loose everywhere! Thanks! ✬Dillard421✬ (talk • contribs) 07:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much! :D alphachimp 07:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just to let you know

You didn't add a block notice to the the talk page. Was that intentional? Thanks for blocking the disruptive user, Enigma ^msg! 17:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I didn't think that block went through, because it did not show up on block list. Sorry about that, it was an oversight on my part. alphachimp 06:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Castratingkittens

He's requesting unblock. While I would like to see him change the username, do four vanity edits really warrant an indefinite block? I'm inclined to unblock and offer another chance, unless there's more to the story. Daniel Case (talk) 08:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, the username merited an indefinite block by itself. I have no objection if he changes his username. alphachimp 13:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, looks like he was inidef blocked. alphachimp 13:47, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging of WikiProject Companies articles using Alphachimpbot

Hi. As per the discussion over at Bot Requests, are you still willing/able to help out with my request? If so, here is what I would like Alphachimpbot to do:

Main Task

• Add {{WikiProject Companies}} to the talk page of any mainspace article using Template:Infobox company or Template:Infobox Defunct Company, if of course it is not already there.

Additional Tasks, not required but would be nice if they are easy to accomplish

• Set the class parameter of the WikiProject Companies banner to "Stub" if a stub template is used on the article
• If the banner for WikiProject B&E ({{Business}}) is already on the talk page, but the class & importance parameters have not been set, then remove it (this was agreed with WP B&E participants at this discussion)

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks! Richc80 (talk) 12:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll look into setting it up and get back to you. alphachimp 13:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I am beginning to set up the bot for this run. Thanks for your patience. alphachimp 03:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Perfect, thanks again for your help!! Richc80 (talk) 22:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 71.193.17.159

Thank you for responding to my request to block this IP. --InvisibleDiplomat₆⁶₆ 17:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I would like to nominate you for a position in the Bureaucracy. After reviewing some of your contributions, I think you would make a great addition on behalf of the Wiki community. Please reply on my talk page. --InvisibleDiplomat₆⁶₆ 17:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much! At this point I'd rather not be a bureaucrat, simply owing to the time required for such a post, and the unnecessary stress that would come about as a result of the nominating process, but thanks again :D. alphachimp 22:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You have an admirer

:) AGK § 18:42, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

LOL. That would be me. Found out from Metros I gotta go through a validation and creation process for the nomination. So, if you concur I would be happy to nominate you for RfB. --InvisibleDiplomat₆⁶₆ 19:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I responded above. alphachimp 22:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Long time

Just popping in to remind you about the possible botting. On a completely unrelated topic how long did it take you to become an admin? I know it is very off topic but I am a curious person. –– Lid(Talk) 10:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Your name popped up while browsing which surprised me as I thought you had vanished sometime last year, nice to see you. As it turns out it takes fourteen months from that comment for me to become one and due to you helping me out a fair bit way back when this means you are indirectly responsible for the hundreds of complaints on my talk page from creators of articles I have deleted. Now how do you feel? –– Lid^(Talk) 11:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

haha, there's nothing quite like causing lots of complaints. Congratulations on your relatively new adminship. I wish I had known so that I could have voted. Keep up the good work, alphachimp 20:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why was my page deleted?

Hello. I posted an article about the North American Nunchaku Association and you removed it. Please let me know why. There should be no reason it was removed.

Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hikeba (talk • contribs) 02:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

The article failed WP:CSD criteria A7 regarding the notability of groups. alphachimp 03:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Weird HelperBot behavior

I dunno how often you monitor the AIV Helperbot talk pages, but there have been a couple of weird report deletions by Helperbot2 recently (User talk:HBC AIV helperbot2#Odd report removal). I am guessing there is a race condition where helperbot reads the page, as user submits a report, then helperbot writes the page back?

If so, you probably already thought of this, but I suppose the bot (or, sigh, another bot) could detect this kind of condition by looking at the helperbot edit summary and if there were modifications that did not match the edit summary, restoring those?

I dunno, just thinking out loud. Or maybe this race condition happens so rarely that it doesn't matter :) --Jaysweet (talk) 15:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] HBC AIV helperbot2

Hello, just letting you know that your bot (as well as all the rest in the series) appear to have died. I assume this is a toolserver issue, since they all died at once, but the IP addresses aren't blocked, so I was checking to see if there was something you could look into. None of the bots have made any edits in the last 50 minutes. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Whoops, never mind, they seem to have just come back online. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Return of Mykungfu Sockpuppet

Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Mykungfu (6th)
Hi AC--After some time off, the MKF sockpuppet appears to have returned--even assuming good faith, his/her edits are the same, and he immediately went to the same edits he left when blocked before. After attempting to use several open proxies to circumvent the blocks on his former accounts, he now appears to be editing from User:RobertOgleFan. I am just contacting admins like yourself that have had experience with MKF. -RoBoTam^ice 14:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
