Block on Mr nibble

Thanks for blocking this user for his outburst of personal attacks. I notice that four of his edits, with offensive edit summaries containing personal attacks, were reverted before the block and are thus preserved on the individual page histories. ([[1]] Is there a way you can get them removed? Thanks -- Karenjc 12:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Y Done, best regards. --Bongwarrior (talk) 12:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice Work

As one of the guys who was vandalising the Sonnenbuhl article, I've gotta say, that's some nice admining your doing. You're a good man, Bongwarrior.

Thanks

Thanks for the vandalism revert and follow-up block. :-) - Philippe 02:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

your messages

I have just received your message and I have to say the link that I have posted will help the readers to see the pictures of that certain topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Imfsite (talk • contribs) 08:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

That may be true, but Wikipedia's stance on external links is that forum-type links are generally to be avoided. Also, your username suggests some sort of vested interest or affiliation with this website. If this is an area of interest for you, please stick around and contribute. We need all the help we can get. As for the links, it might be best to bring it up on a few of the articles' talk pages first, just so other editors can see you have good intentions. Welcome, take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 08:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for saving...

My user page! My friends thought it was funny to "edit" my user page and other pages I've contributed to. I'm not as active as I used to be due to school work building up, so I might not have notcied for awhile. Thanks again! -Resueht (talk) 21:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review for Sonic's_Edusoft

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Sonic's_Edusoft. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nineko (talk • contribs) 11:52, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that edit Charles Stewart/New England/Sasha Callahan made to his talk page. That was pretty quick! szyslak (t) 01:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Archive Page

You don't know how happened to delete my archive page (User talk:Dan arndt/Archive 5)? Dan arndt (talk) 00:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

The only edits to that archive were vandalism by User:Bugmenot1984, and a request for deletion. There were no valid messages in the history, so I deleted it. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

we are sorry

it was a very immature act and we didn't do it cos we where sumwhere else and then another kid did it called nathan smith. we r very sorry and it won't happen again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.191.57.186 (talk) 08:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Anabolic steroid

Ah, that explains it then. I had it on my watchlist for a while and was surprised that the vandalism had got so heavy! Tim Vickers (talk) 19:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry for wheel warring :-) But I thought you'd understand. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 19:37, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

For the revert! Nice to know people still watch my page even though I'm not around much (or at all). But summer is starting soon, and I think I will have time... thanks again!

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Sorry, i found you an admin, so i just want you to take care about this history, because it is too much reversion, it is hard for me to report to 3RR, so i decide to hover to do, so if i wrong, please erase this message. Thank you. --Aleenf1 10:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Johnny Cash

Hey Stifle, why the full protection on Johnny Cash? I don't see any evidence of edit warring, just a few vandalism reverts. --Bongwarrior (talk) 22:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, should have used vandalism as the summary. I've unprotected it now. Stifle (talk) 08:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU

Hello again. The Highly Active Users project has gone through a complete revamping per popular demand. We believe this new format will make it easier for new editors to find assistance. However, with the new format, I must again ask you to verify your information on this page. I attempted to translate the data from the old version to the new, but with the extensive changes, I may have made some errors. Thanks again. Useight (talk) 04:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Jonathan James

Jon is my brothers best friend and a close personal friend of mine. He committed suicide some time today and my brother found his body at his house between 6-7 P.M. eastern. I am very sad right and i would appreciate it if you allowed my edit to remain in his honor. I understand that a source needed for edits however there are no official reports yet because the police need to talk with a guy who may be implicated in his death.Thevitogodfather (talk) 03:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your talk. --Bongwarrior (talk) 03:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
i have just one question. what happens if it is not reported in the news at all. is there anyway i can change it then?Thevitogodfather (talk) 14:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Not really, everything has to be verifiable. --Bongwarrior (talk) 19:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Not vandalism

Hey "dude," my edit wasn't vandalism. I removed source-less edits. Please refrain from sullying my discussion page with rash accusations of vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NewsEditor1000 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

If you honestly don't see anything amiss with this version of the article, then I don't know what to tell you. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I see a version of an article with sources that you reverted to a version of an article largely made of what I can only assume is made-up information. Now, I'd appreciate a real explanation or else please clean your warnings off my discussion page. Hey Joseph McCarthy, you can't just accuse someone of vandlism because you disagree with his or her good-faith edits. --NewsEditor1000 (talk) 05:59, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Not sure how to handle...

05/21/08 While on Wikipedia today (American Idol site), I "paged back". The site was still there around the edges (logo, navigation, etc), but the page was blank. It was the message that bothered me. I looked for a place to report this, but I don't know where or how. I can't find anywhere on your site to report this, nor has it ever happened before. I was quite shocked. More so, I was alarmed that a young person might have seen this. I was online at work, which has a security/antivirus program.

Please advise if I am in the wrong place - and where to go if you can't help.

This is what was there: (The disturbing/vulgar messages.)

1) First one said:

i want to stick my finger in your vagina

2) Second one said: American Idol From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia • Ten things you may not know about images on Wikipedia •Jump to: navigation, search

someone is harassing this site whoever sees this next please start to fix it

This has never happened & I don't know how to report it. Can you help? DJjer (talk) 23:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)DJjer

Hey DJjer, welcome. That, unfortunately, was vandalism. It happens, especially on a high profile article like American Idol. It's usually fixed pretty quickly, but if you find some that hasn't been corrected yet, just click on the article's "history" tab and check the most recent edits. The last one is usually the culprit, but not always. If it's just one edit that's bad, just click on the "undo" button and that should undo the damage. You might also consider warning the person who made the edit. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Leighton Meester

so you want me to post paparazzi pictures of the couple kissing? 'cause that's the source —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.17.46.230 (talk) 21:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I had to take care of some business. Not paparazzi pictures, but any sort of reputable online source will be fine. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for more information. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 22:14, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Edits

Hey

I'm DjBeau and I recently made some crap changes to a few articles. I'm doing this as part of a university assignment to see how fast they will be changed back. I noticed that you changed them all back. I have a few questions I hope you'll answer for me.

1: How did you discover the first change? 2: - and the 2nd and 3rd change? 3: How often are you correcting mistakes?

Kind regards Bo Hansen —Preceding unsigned comment added by DjBeau (talk • contribs) 10:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

  1. Special:RecentChanges
  2. By checking the rest of your edits after I noticed the McCartney change
  3. Waaaaay too often

Patrolling new pages

Hi there! Great to see a fellow new page patroller. You may want to patrol from the start of the list though, there's a HUGE backlog of pages that have never been patrolled, and are up to 30 days old, plus it's not always fair to assess articles within a few minutes of creation. Paulbrock (talk) 10:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Gah, no thanks. I usually stay away from Special:Newpages because it seems there's usually enough people on it already. I just wandered in there to mark a page I had dealt with as patrolled. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 11:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry, i was going to say somthing about how i hadn't changed anything then i just relised my little sister had changed it after reading what the difference was. Thanks for changing that article back.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.191.17.206 (talk • contribs) 25 May 2008

User:TimothyBanks

This user constantly moves articles from their common names, particularly female soap opera character articles. Wikipedia has a Common name policy, as you may know, that instructs editors that articles should be titled by their most well-known names. Well, TimothyBanks totally disregards that, and has been warned and blocked for it more than once. It seemed that he had started to follow the policy, but now he's back at it (his destructive moving), and tries to use other incorrectly moved articles as his justification. Any assistance from you on this matter would be much appreciated. Flyer22 (talk) 05:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I left him a note. At a glance, it doesn't seem as if he means any harm, so I'm reluctant to be too harsh. Let me know if there are any more problems though, take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I would agree about the "no harm" part...if he had not been warned about this several times before. There was even an instance where he moved a real person's article, Heather Mills to Heather, Lady McCartney (he actually did that move more than once, even after warned). But, anyway, thanks again. Flyer22 (talk) 18:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Protection

Hi Bongwarrior. Just a note to let you know, as you may have noticed, that I've indefinitely protected your userpage. Feel free to remove it any time, though if you want my advice you should probably leave it indefinitely. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks zzuuzz, I probably will leave it up. For some reason, I had the notion that protecting my userpage automatically protected my talk page as well. Now that I see that's not the case, there's really no reason not to leave it protected. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 17:49, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Your username...

Is that really acceptable? Come on, young people read this site and shouldn't have to be exposed to drug minutea. 70.9.221.156 (talk) 18:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I've never heard many complaints about it. Some people think that it is sort of an odd username, some think it is unbefitting an admin, but very few think I shouldn't be allowed to use it. --Bongwarrior (talk) 19:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
