[edit] My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cahir Grinder

I understand why you want this deleted, but I'm sure you've never tasted it either. I'll try and get some pictures.

Maybe I jumped the gun on that one, but the way to save the article is by citing independent, reliable sources about it, rather than uploading photos. -SpuriousQ (talk) 03:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dan Harrington

Excellence addiction to the Dan Harrington article, Nice work! ▪◦▪≡ЅiREX≡Talk 04:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :-) but I think you give me too much credit. I just cited the website the previous content was largely copied from. -SpuriousQ (talk) 05:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Captain-poison

Captain-poison has vandelised my userpage. please help me. he has switched my family tree stuff of the family of Gengis Khan into The forsytes and Borat! help. -- OV

I reverted the edit. -SpuriousQ (talk) 11:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago-joes...POPCORN!!!

he's doin the block thing again... but not you now he's just goe on Sexmeeres page again and said i've blocked her for life! DC

He's been temporarily blocked, more silliness will result in an indefinite block. -SpuriousQ (talk) 10:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paris Hilton - Celebutante

I believe you and I came to small consensus about this issue, see talk here. I could use some support on this issue. Its a neutral and accurate description.--Conrad Kilroy 00:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hi, SpuriousQ, and thanks for your participation in my RfA. I've withdrawn it, and will be writing up an "analysis" of it, which will soon be available at User:Giggy/RfA/Giggy when it's done. Please come around when you get the chance, and give me feedback on how I can improve. Thanks again, Giggy UCP 04:47, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Curious

I'm curious what your reasoning is in saying User:Jameeserano's edits are in "good faith" and not blocking him when the two edits right before that were both vandalism of user pages. It seemed quite a slam dunk to me, did you happen to see something I missed? Trusilver 05:40, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Trusilver, I checked out his contributions from one or two days ago, he's not your regular vandal account. Just seems like someone unfamiliar with Wikipedia policy and frustrated that his articles were getting AfD'd. Plus, he seems to have stopped the vandalism. All in all, blocking him didn't seem constructive to me.
By the way, I've noticed you've been doing some great anti-vandal work lately. Keep it up :-) -SpuriousQ (talk) 06:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Fantastic, just wanted to see what you are seeing :). Have a great night! Trusilver 06:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sry

sry bout that last thing didn't mean to offend anyone

[edit] Please except my apology

I reverted you on the Paris Hilton article. It looked like vandalism but when you reverted me I took a closer look and saw I was totally wrong. Sorry, --CrohnieGalTalk 11:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

No worries, I've done the same thing before :-) -SpuriousQ (talk) 12:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What?

What the hell are you talking about? I have never looked up Lostock, what the hell is it? =S

You probably have a shared IP address. This edit came from your IP. -SpuriousQ (talk) 05:09, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paybacks (Band)

Hello,

Paybacks has significance. I quote http://www.creemmedia.com/_site/BeatGoesOn/Paybacks/KnockingHarder001.html

"Rolling Stone and Spin have given the band much-deserved, if not belated, nods. The Carson Daly Show snagged the quartet as house-band for two nights this month after Daly caught their recent, sold-out CMJ fest performance in Manhattan...The band has done everything, big tours (they did Southern Culture on the Skids tour this year), European excursions (they're in Spain this month), and countless U.S. club jaunts"

They qualify for an international tour, and performance on TV. Please un-delete the page.

If you can create an article that is verifiable and asserts notability by drawing from independent, reliable sources, feel free to do so. The article I deleted wasn't very informative, but if it helps I'll undelete it to user space in a little bit. -SpuriousQ (talk) 05:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
You can view the original article at [1]. -SpuriousQ (talk) 05:15, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Martial Arts

Hello,

Their are some martial arts styles that you haven't added on to Wikipedia.com, American Karate was created by Lou Casamassa, Toso Kune Do was created by Jason David Frank as Tommy Oliver from the Power Rangers Series, Shorinkenjitsu Kenpo Karate was created by Master Ernest, American Tiger Jiujitsu was created by Master Ernest as well, Snake Fist Karate was created by Master Ernest as well as Shorinkenjitsu Kenpo Karate and American Tiger Jiujitsu, I was wondering do you think taht you could make those pages on this site?

Hey, how did you find me? I'm not really in charge of editing martial arts pages or anything like that. But, you can go ahead and make changes yourself! I do caution you, however, to ensure that the material you add is verifiable by citing reliable sources. You may also want to take a look at WP:5P for a good introduction to Wikipedia. Let me know if you have questions. -SpuriousQ (talk) 02:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reddit

Per WikiRage.com, the article reddit received heavy editing today by unregistered users and may benefit from a good review. Per Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee (Talk) 06:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Reverting

Thanks. That makes deleting vandalism a lot easier! STORMTRACKER 94 13:47, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dutchy of Jülich-Berg

Re
01:32, 20 June 2007 SpuriousQ (Talk | contribs) deleted "Dutchy of Jülich-Berg" ‎ (CSD G7: Author Requests Deletion)

Hi

I was just contemplating what to do about the 4,767 entries on my watchlist, and noted that this title is now gone. Inasmuch as I recall accessing (and evidently editing it--else wouldn't be on the WL!) I'd like to take a peak at it. Can you please access the page and plop a copy into here (Just write/paste-in over top of it).

Seems to me there ought to at least be a redirect, and this I can discuss with WP:Germany. Thanks. // FrankB 00:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Fabartus. The article is available at Duchy of Jülich. Feel free to create what redirects you feel are appropriate. Actually, you yourself had moved the article to Duchy of Jülich-Berg, and then requested the old one be deleted. I had figured it was to make room for another article or some such... but it sounds like a redirect may be a good idea. -SpuriousQ (talk) 13:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gangrene Article.

That gangrene article is seriously F*CKED up, no offense to the writers of the article in question. The pictures of the rotting feet are totally disgusting. I know that wikipedia has a non-censoring policy, but wouldn't it be more prudent to hide the pictures in question for audiences with queasy stomachs as done in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ejaculate . That way you can get a warning across without violating no-censorship.

I appeal to the senses and the moral standings of the wikipedia administrator and hopes that he/she/it will act in due course. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.6.218.181 (talk) 22:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you should take your concerns to Talk:Gangrene. I haven't worked on that article before. -SpuriousQ (talk) 14:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] KennieJYoung PageRank

You took down a link I put up on the PageRank information page, because it was directed to my own website. The Page is number One in every search engine for terms such as PageRank table, Google PageRank table, compare PageRank values, etc, so I don't have to add a link to attract people to the page. I added it as it is an authority page that has been at the top of Google,MSN and Yahoo search engines for three years and that would help your readers understand the value of PageRank, as it is much easier to understand for the average webmaster, than the mathematical gobbledigook that appears on the page, or contradictory information, such as, "These values can be viewed in the Google Directory. Unlike the Google Toolbar which shows the PageRank value by a mouseover of the greenbar, the Google Directory does not show the PageRank as a numeric value but only as a green bar." Where the writer seems to have confused himself.

Ther is absolutely nothing to gain for me adding a link to this page, as the links are all nofollow, so what underhand tactic did you think I was employing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.130.37 (talk) 20:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Can you remind me which website this is? I havent edited PageRank in months. I likely did not know it was your own website, and reverted on the basis of WP:NOT#LINK and WP:EL. A website being at the top of search engine results does not necessarily mean it is appropriate to link to on Wikipedia. -SpuriousQ (talk) 02:37, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Over 6 months

It's been over 6 months since Riana and I nominated you for adminship. I just wanted to drop by and say that, as well as ask how you are doing. :) Acalamari 19:07, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha, thanks dude. I've been editing only sparingly lately, haven't really had the time or energy. But things are good. Glad to see you are still quite active, and hope you have a happy birthday :-) -SpuriousQ (talk) 09:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Heh, heh, you're welcome! I'm glad to see you're still around and are okay! Thank you for the birthday wishes. :) Acalamari 18:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

I'm sorry but i have not edited that page or any webpage at all. You may have the right IP, but the wrong person. I am a anonymous person who looks at wikipedia for information. Please stop accusing me of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.111.24 (talk) 15:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happy New Year!

Dear friend, I hope you had a wonderful New Year's Eve, and that 2008 is your best year yet! ~ Riana ⁂ 02:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


Thanks! I wish the same for you, too :-) -SpuriousQ (talk) 10:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UFC 84

A discussion is happening right now on the fate of UFC 84. Because the outcome of this discussion could affect other MMA event pages and how/when they are created, your input would be greatly appreciated. The discussion is happening here. Thank you for your assistance! Gromlakh (talk) 17:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page, and blocking that vandal.  This flag once was red  06:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

No worries, this always happens on Wikipedia. -SpuriousQ (talk) 06:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re Anna

I was doing a not-too-large edit the other day, and at about the same time there occurred both an edit conflict and a bizarre bollixing up ... ALL the spacings disappeared ... of the whole article. When things cooled down, I reverted to an earlier, non-bollixed up version, and then added the edits I had planned on doing. How the couple of scrunched up sentences you found occurred (and then persisted) I haven't a clue. I believe I fixed them eventually. Sfahey (talk) 03:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I found another missing space, but think that's all of them. -SpuriousQ (talk) 01:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can you please take a look at this?

I tried to post at Talk:Zionism, and all the text disappeared. I tried restoring by going back to the last version, and that gave a blank page as well. Now a sample test addition of text on the blank page yields no page content at all, but shows up in the history. Has the page simply reached its capacity, and I'm too dumb to notice, or is there a deeper technical problem here? Clueless, and grateful for any light you can shed, BYT (talk) 13:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Should be fixed now. I'm not sure why you experienced the problems you did. Take a look at the page again and let me know if it's still wrong. You might want to hit reload in your browser. -SpuriousQ (talk) 16:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Spurious--many thanks for the help, that did it. BYT (talk) 16:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Accusation of vandalization

Hello, I have been accused for vandalizing Nicole Richie, but the only thing I have ever edited on wikipedia is the sandbox. However I have a dynamic IP, I might have gotten the vandal's IP address. As the vandalization happened 21. March and my IP was last changed 3 days ago, I suspect this is the cause. Anyway, I just wanted to clear this up. Cheers.

83.108.231.61 (talk) 15:19, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Don't worry about. As you can imagine, this happens a lot on Wikipedia. IPs are only blocked if they are currently vandalizing. -SpuriousQ (talk) 02:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A year!

Hi SpuriousQ, I just wanted to let you know that you've been an administrator for a year now! I am pleased that you allowed Riana and I to nominate you: you've been great, and I hope you've had fun, and will continue to do so. Best wishes and happy editing. Acalamari 01:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Went by fast, thanks for reminding me. Thanks man. -SpuriousQ (talk) 11:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
You're welcome! Acalamari 23:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Adminship Day
