re:abuse reports

Hey, sorry I haven't been able to be as active as I'd like to be on abuse reports lately, been really busy in real life and had about a two week period recently with no internet access. But anyway if you want to contact the ISP in question, please go right ahead. Cheers! Mr Senseless (talk) 19:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: Vandalism.

Yep, I'm currently in Naval JROTC at Port Charlotte High School, and I'm proud to have earned the Cadet Seaman rank. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 19:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Thats cool dude.--Rio de oro (talk) 21:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I always thought about joining the USMC. SEMPER FI Rio de oro (talk)
USMC is a fine choice to consider, my uncle was a member of the branch. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 21:28, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


Cheerleading

Hello, for your information. Keep up the good work. -- zzuuzz (talk) 00:04, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

  • You're quite welcome! It's always great to stop a vandal, especially one who vandalized the Port Charlotte High School page. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:12, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Yeah, there's no doubt about it, that's that wacky cheerleader from Charlotte High down in Punta Gorda that I hear just recently got kicked off their squad, her and her mother scare me more than Mmbabies ever did. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I notice this last night. You're wrong on that, I never went to Charlotte, in fact, I don't think any of us ever went to Charlotte. Barnstargurl (talk) 19:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC) aka User:LBHS Cheerleader.

Bad idea vandal! GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 22:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

barnstar

Dude is that for me or for you dude. Wow, getting a barnstar is like a Medal of Honor here on Wikipedia.Rio de oro (talk) 23:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
You're quite welcome! GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

album cover`

Is there a rule here on wikipedia for putting album covers on our user page. I was going to put some small album cover images from The Doors. Is that alowed or now just askingRio de oro (talk) 23:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
I wouldn't suggest it, it's probably copyrighted material. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 23:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: Barnstar

Thanks!!! We need to find more people to work on those though. - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for that very red present! Doczilla RAWR! 01:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
To both of you: you're quite welcome! GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
By the way, red and black are my school colors, I'm glad you like it. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Your school colors are cooler than my schools coolers. BTW, my user page has my schools article page. I want to expand my school's article to be more cooler.Rio de oro (talk) 01:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the award! JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 04:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks dude for the barnstar, even though I minorly participated in the discussion. But still...PrestonH 05:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
You're both quite welcome! GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 14:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks as well for the anti-vandalism barnstar. For a couple weeks I did quite a bit of anti-vandal work with User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool and WP:TWINKLE. Keep up the good work!. Danski14(talk) 22:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Get Real?

Regarding Wikipedia:Abuse reports/24.59.108.241, maybe instead of "get real", you could educate a new volunteer on how to correctly document an IP for vandalism abuse? It certainly seemed like I was doing it the right way when I was doing it. I've only been on here a couple of months but I definitely see why you (we?) have the Wikipedia:bite policy. - Operknockity (talk) 07:37, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, that sounds good. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 14:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, when I first started working with the project, it took me a little while to figure it out to. But just like it seemed to you that you were reporting IPs correctly, it seemed like I was rejecting them correctly, I'll try not to "bite" anymore. By the way, it sure makes abuse reporting a lot easier when you read Wikipedia:GTAR, it tells you all (well, almost all) of the DOs and DON'Ts. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 14:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I hadn't found that article. I've skimmed it and read the "This is a last resort" paragraph. I'll read it more thoroughly later this morning.
FYI - What led me to do it that way was that after I posted two warnings to that IP's talk page, User:Momusufan posted the {whois|Road Runner HoldCo LLC} template which states, "In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts should be made to contact Road Runner HoldCo LLC to report abuse, which can be done here." So I clicked on 'here' and reported it. Having gone back over my steps, I now see that I missed the line stating, "Make sure that the IP in question has been blocked at least five times in recent history, or the request will be rejected." I've bolded the "blocked at least five times" on that page so the next near sighted newbie might catch it more easily. - Operknockity (talk) 15:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Reporting vandals and sockpuppets

In case you weren't aware, WP:AIAV is the place to report vandals. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 04:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: Adminship?

Sorry, I already tried running for adminship and it didn't go to hot. I'm not intrested at this time PrestonH 00:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

Thank you so much for the offer, but I don't really think I'm worthy. I've never done anything special, and I'm not on here 24/7. I might try for it in a few months, though. Thank you Maddie talk 01:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:02, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
You're probably right on that, after taking a second look, it doesn't look like you have as much experience as some of the other users who I offered to nominate, I'd wait a while before going to RfA. Users have a much greater chance of success if they've edited Wikipedia at least 1,000 times, and failure sucks. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Adminship (WAVY 10 Fan)

Not presently, but I would be open to it in the future. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 18:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Same, it will be considered once the site ages a bit more. « ₣M₣ » 02:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Your userpage

Hi there, I have protected your userpage for a week due to some pesky little vandals. If you want it lifted or if you want it to be extended, just drop me a note on my talkpage. Regards. Woody (talk) 17:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't worry about that, there's only a few people in Charlotte County Public Schools that know how to get past the blocks other than myself, I'll bet I know who that was. Probably some bad joke. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 19:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
There is one other possiblity, could word make it to the Charlotte High School (Punta Gorda, Florida) brats that fast? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 19:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Confirmed, those comments were not inserted by who I thought, those comments were placed on the page by someone else. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 22:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

re: adminship

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you, I've been at a funeral and the place I've been staying has no internet access. In any event, I'd love to try for adminship and am honored that you've offered to nominate me. Let's give it a go and see what happens. Mr Senseless (talk) 17:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 21:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Nom accepted and transcluded. thanks again :) Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 16:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

West Point?

Off topic for the moment about that idoit-boy (Mmbabies). Since you like the US Army . Have you thought about going to USA WEST POINT.--Rio de oro (talk) 00:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Maybe. But I'm more of a United States Navy guy, so I've considered the United States Naval Academy in Anapolis, Maryland more than the United States Military Academy at Westpoint, but I've not ruled out that possibility. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Dude, my bad for screwing up this thread. I ment to say was my schools ROTC is kind of cool , they won a few drill tournaments I think. I would join ROTC if it wasnt for Track and XC(CROSS COUNTRY). --Rio de oro (talk) 00:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
That's cool. Did I tell you that our unit has many cadets who also participate in other school clubs and athletics, such as band, football, basketball, cheerleading, etc? I guess that's for the real over achievers though, not just anyone could do that. Does your school have AJROTC, NJROTC, or something else? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC).
Its just JROTC (basic one). I dont critize it. They are some tough S.O.B.S GETTING up early for drill , it just like Full Metal Jacket_(film).--Rio de oro (talk) 00:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I didn't even know there was just a basic one actually. I really can't visualize it like that. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
It's Army JROTC according to http://www.neisd.net/mac/rotc/. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh.. I know a few guys that are in ROTC. Rio de oro (talk) 00:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Your school gots a cool coat of arms.Rio de oro (talk) 00:57, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

your edits to various sports pages

I have reverted your addition of claims like "In some communist nations, basketball is banned" to numerous sports pages. I would like to assume good faith here but the fact that you added the same text to a handful of pages all at once suggests an agenda. You need to provide citations for such claims, and I don't think they have a place in any of those articles, but they certainly do not belong in the lead paragraph. These articles are about sporting pursuits; political POV pushing is not acceptable. Simishag (talk) 20:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I can find a citation. But maybe later, I'm working on something not POV right now, and this one is on the bottom of my priorities for now. Sorry for any confusion or hard feelings. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 20:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

User:UBX/vandalized-combo

Hello, just to let you know, I've reverted your edits to the above user box. The existence of these userboxes has been criticized before for giving too much recognition to vandals. While I'm not one of these critics (obviously, since I use the box myself) your edits put it a little over the top, in my opinion. Since vandals will undoubtedly do what they do anyway, it's best not to antagonize them further. I'd be happy to discuss this if you disagree, however. Please feel free to let me know. Hersfold (t/a/c) 02:07, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I edited the template so it would point out that vandals are wasting their time. , I guess I'm one of those critics that think that as the template currently stands, it appears to just simply give vandals more attention than they deserve. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 03:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

thanks

Hey,

Unfortunately my RfA was unsuccessful, it closed within an hour or two after it began. Four oppose votes, one was from a disgruntled contributor who I upset a few months ago by PRODing an article he wrote, and the other three simply felt I was unqualified at this time, primarily due to not enough mainspace edits. All suggested I devote my time to actually writing articles instead of patrolling new pages and writing abuse reports.

In any event, I wanted to thank you for your nomination and support. I didn't have my hopes up to begin with, but the fact someone believed in me enough to submit me to RfA makes me think I'm doing something right. I'm not going to stop patrolling the new page log, or vandal fighting, that's what I love to do and its one of the things that brought me to Wikipeida in the first place, but I'm going to try admin coaching and do some more copyediting and article expansion and hopefully in a few months I can give it another go.

Thanks again man, I really look forward to continuing to work with you.

-Thom

Barnstar thanks

Hi GO thanks for the Barnstar. I appreciate the appreciation! Also for asking about adminship - I responded to Hu12 here. As with Hu12, my appreciation also extends to your own role as an admin. Keep up the good work! -- SiobhanHansa 09:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

76.7.2.144 belonging to Embarq

I found this IP vandalising today, belongs to Embarq. Contributions Momusufan (talk) 19:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Edgar181 blocked the IP for a month, it's been blocked 3 prior times in the past as well, Block log. Momusufan (talk) 19:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank's! Yeah, I can certainly contact them, but if you're thinking my friend's dad can do anything about this one, you've got a misunderstanding as he works in west Florida, including, but certainly not limited to, Port Charlotte, Florida and Punta Gorda, Florida. This IP belongs to a person in Kansas, but I'm sure they will do something (after all, Kansas is the home of their corporate HQ). Also, unless it's an IP which doesn't qualify for Wikipedia:Abuse reports, you should seriously consider listing troublesome IPs like this one there, I'm an investigator and a contactor there. One last thing, that's a static IP address according to the letters "sta" in the domain for the IP, so if we can't get this morron disconnected (although I think they will cooperate), we can certainly place a very, very, very long block on her/him. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 21:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
This one look's like a school IP. In that case, the abuse dept. will notify the school. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 21:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

IP abuse

I got an IP you may want to look into, I filed an abuse report on it. You can see it Here. It's been blocked 19 times and I think it's time to shut em' down. Momusufan (talk) 16:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Embarq Tor IP 76.4.223.205

i'm putting up open proxies on WP:OP and I happened to find an Embarq IP thats acting as a Tor exit node. I'm not sure if anything can be done, but here's the info on the Tor node Here. Momusufan (talk) 04:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

The IP only made one edit, and it looks like it's dynamic. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 18:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Investigations

Ok well if thats what works for you, you go ahead and do it.

im not saying including the log to them is a bad thing (i include it in the email message) but its not the only thing to send.

    • My emails didnt bounce back or anything, i just didnt get a reply (which i agree is not unusual but u give them 3 days to reply) i sent the reports from my ISP's SMTP server (Internode) which is extremlty reptuable, i would never send a report from hotmail because thats unprofessional (and it doest work with all spam filters) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prom3th3an (talk • contribs) 06:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Your favorite music

Dude, what kind of music do you like. I like classic rock, some modern rock. My user page has my favorite bands. I like to listen to Chiacgo(band) , Led Zepplein , The Doors, Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Jose Felicano, SANTANA(Carlos Santana and the other guys that were his back up), Jimi Hendrix. I listen to some LPs my parents have in the attic.Rio de oro (talk) 20:44, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I listen to country music. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Johnny Cash is a good country singer. FYI; I only brought this to b.s. about different stuff after the "fiasco" at MMb crap. Since called a "teenage mutant turtle". I dont really give a s- about it I've been called worse.--Rio de oro (talk) 02:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: WP:ABUSE

Typically if they have less than 5, they are always declined. This is mostly because there are not enough people working on these, and they pile up. Read through them though, and use your judgement. If you feel that there needs to be an exception, thats fine. But yes, all the instruction pages say that accounts should be blocked at least 5 times, so the people filing the reports should know that. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:30, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
