[edit] Rollback

I'm sorry, but I'm still not comfortable. Although you were given a second chance, it's too soon after the block (which was within the last 24 hours). I would advise a few weeks of solid editing and then request again. Your contributions show some good vandalism reverts but the policy states that recent blocks are an issue with rollback. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 20:00, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

You didn't waste my time; I'm happy to consider requests. But I can't find the policy unfortunately, so sorry about that, I retract it until it can be found. Three weeks should be sufficient time, and if you're unhappy with my decision, you may appeal by asking any administrator in the Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to grant rollback requests. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 20:13, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unblocked

Well, as you know now, I've unblocked your account. It's after 0600 in the morning here and I really have to get some sleep so I shall respond to your list and other things tomorrow but in the meanwhile, I looked through the ANI discussion and since there's been no objections to the proposal but people can still raise concerns so please be prepared to respond if necessary;Amire and Shapiros have both agreed to continue with mentorship as terms of unblocking; and Matt the blocking admin has consented to an unblock, I have gone ahead and unblocked you. Amire has basically staked his reputation on you so please do not let him down.

Shapiros, I have your page on my watchlist now and I intend keeping en eye out for you myself, so you better behave yourself. I don't want to see you doing any stupid things and if you are caught socking again, I will immediately indef your account and go straight to ANI and lobby for you to be community banned and Amire or no one else will be able to save you a second time. So this is your chance and you must seize it with both hands and do the right thing and resist any 12 year old urges to do anything stupid. If you have an inclination to do something possibly stupid or something possibly borderline stupid, run it past Amire or me first for a sanity check. I've agreed to this unblocking largely because Amire is so convinced that you are sincere that you will do the right thing if you are given the chance and that you have the ability to redeem yourself and become a respected editor on Wikipedia, but I'm just telling you at the start and totally upfront what will happen if there is a repeat of bad behaviour and socking so that you know exactly where you stand and what would happen. Sarah 21:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, About rollback, I think you need to focus on redeeming yourself and repairing your reputation before you worry about getting rollback. Sarah 21:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Sam, I read your list. Just be careful you don't get too caught up in the numbers as that's a really bad way to go. Best to just try to become a really good editor for the sake of being a really a good editor and others will notice and want to nominate you or support you as an admin. If you have a "recipe for adminship" which is kinda what your list looks like, people will notice and be wary of you, thinking that you see adminship as a status symbol and are just here for that purpose. Most people fail RfA when it looks like they've created their whole editing experience around becoming an admin. I can only advise you to try to become the best editor that you can be and everything else will follow naturally. That is how it has been in my experience. Cheers, Sarah 09:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back!

Welcome back, Shapiros10, as i know, you been blocked for ANI for some period, I'm totally surprise for that. Anyway, that is pass over, and welcome back to Wikipedia, i leave my support to you here. --Aleenf1 05:06, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Good to see you here again. Hope it works out better this time! Lots of work to do over at WP:SURVIVE, so I'm pleased you were forgiven. Now, get to it!! -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 07:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Re your message: Yes, I remember you. I don't have any hard feelings, though I was very disappointed after I found out what you did. I hope you take this second chance seriously and work hard to regain the respect of the community. Sarah is an excellent administrator and you should heed her advice (I don't know Amire very well). If for some reason, you can not reach either of them, you are welcome to contact me. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, welcome back, Sam! Glad to see it wasn't as long as you thought! Are you back on the Survivor TF yet?Stjimmy61892 18:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Declined

I'm a bit iffy about welcoming a newly-reformed sockpuppeteer. Sorry. 21655 ταλκ/01ҁ 14:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SURVIVE

Well, I can see you've completed the R&F cleanup, as your message on the STF talkpage indicated. I'm not too sure, however, on your judgement to leave in the Ulong & Koror section for Palau as it is. I think that if it needs to stay, then it may need a rewrite. I can't remember off the top of my head exactly what it says at the moment, but if I haven't removed the bit about the irony of Ulong on Koror or vice-versa, then it's still there and probably should go. I'd do it myself, but I'm totally bogged down with school stuff at the moment, and I'm working on some politics stuff for WP:NZ as well. I'm sure you can handle it! And good work with the episode summaries, btw. Panama got done by an anon while you were away - wow! -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 06:07, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TAR

Yes, i think is good to have to-do-list. A lot need to be cleanup, and of course we need MOS here. Weaknesses include:

  1. Results table (should be emerge 1 consistent format)
  2. Notable events (some seasons still exists while the latest are not)
  3. Episode title quotes (I think it can be merge in race summary)
  4. Flags / Images (the placement violate WP:FLAG / WP:IMAGE)

So, I'm thinking a long time for this, but i can't get alternate solution, we need further talk for this anywhere. Anyway, i raise my concerns only. --Aleenf1 06:32, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Palau

I was bold and removed it. I started to edit, but realised that seeing as we had removed Marquesas' article coz there were worse tribes than Maaramu, it was stupid to keep this one after Fiji. Feel free to revert if you want, though. I won't edit war you over it. As you may have seen on my User Page, I'm (*gasp*) not actually editing at the moment as a result of that horrible, horrible thing we call real life, so I really don't have time to do it myself. If it's easier you may want to do it in a user-subpage (or in Microsoft Word etc) and upload later, or maybe just come back to Seasons 1-10 and convert Cook Islands and Fiji's summaries. Your choice. -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 11:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Hello, Shapiros10. You have new messages at RyRy5's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} template.

Oh, and welcome back! I noticed you were blocked because your name on the member list at WP:SOX was red. Then you added yourself again. Also, I think I sent you email a few days ago. Will be waiting for a reply. --RyRy5 (talk) 23:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. It's not my birthday this second though. How do you like your user page design? --RyRy5 (talk) 23:27, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:WP:Sims

Hi,

We've suspended it until next month, as the content in it at the moment isn't suitable for Wikipedia, and also it is badly formatted, so that some users are unable to read it.

Thanks,

[edit] TAR Israel

Have you notice TAR Israel? I think someone can create that. Sorry, i can't understand Hebrew, so probably need some help for that. --Aleenf1 14:30, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure, eventually i just want the job done, that is my approach. :) --Aleenf1 13:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Slick dogs and ponies.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Slick dogs and ponies.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:27, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake

Whoops, I pressed a wrong button on Huggle. Sorry! Vinson (talk) 23:01, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks. It was that vandal that I reverted like 10 times Vinson (talk) 23:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Adminship

Thank you for your support. But i have an unforgettable memory such as PA a person about 17 months ago (I'm not intent purposely for that), my intermediate English, that will be a huge obstacle, so I'm not brave to accept any nominations, even it is a dream time for me. Drop any further comment if you think i can do that. Thank you --Aleenf1 09:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, i think i can accept the nomination for one more time, if i gain sufficient support and reason to do that. Thanks! --Aleenf1 05:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Do you think if I sent you a picture you would be able to upload it to a page in the infobox? Bmorris09 (talk) 22:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Wow...

Yeah, that was quite an attack on your user page! Fine to see you back. Guess there were some problems... but that's human. Nobody's perfect, and it's always a nice thing to learn from errors and failures, to forgive and be forgiven! --Catgut (talk) 22:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

A consensus seems to be (from WP:AN) to not-allow the user to have a userpage, whether it is MySpace-y or not. So, yeah..I'd say it was necessary. iMatthew T.C. 15:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Definately, I've dealt with both, and I started realizing they were similar, and I saw the IP's contribs, and it all came together. iMatthew T.C. 21:53, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
