I broke my irony detector a few days ago. Despite all the machinations the page is actually improving, which is the important thing. Marskell 15:48, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admin power is needed for editing a user talk page and leaving no record of it in the history? See reference on mine regarding boot camp and "help me" that inexplicably appeared and also now appears in every previous version. SkeenaR 23:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody has played a funny trick by editing my talk page and not only leaving no history of it, but making it appear in all the previous versions. I'm basically wondering if I'll be able to identify the culprit. SkeenaR 23:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing has been added in the history. Something is missing from the history. That would be the reference to boot camp and "help me" that was just added to the greeting that Blackcats sent me in December. It is also made to appear in every previous version so that it looks like Blackcats put it there. SkeenaR 23:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK that explains it. I knew that wasn't there before and there was no record of it. I wasn't aware of anything called a live template and didn't think that was possible. I thought somebody was trying to imply that I should be sent to bootcamp! Thank you for clearing that up for me. What about you? You think I need boot camp? :) SkeenaR 23:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty interesting stuff. SkeenaR 03:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, he/she has e-mailed me claiming that it wasn't a 3RR violation that he had -- that he did make four different edits rather than reverting. Can you look at the situation again? (I told him/her that I'm uncomfortable removing another admin's 3RR block, but I'll look at it myself as well.) Thanks. --Nlu (talk) 02:33, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After examining it, it looks to me that User:Wyss was removing/reverting "ROHA"'s vandalism (I am calling it vandalism because ROHA has shown no desire whatsoever to abide by 3RR/NPA/&c.) and, as such, didn't violate 3RR. I'm going to go ahead and unblock Wyss. If you believe that a reblock is warranted, please let me know. --Nlu (talk) 02:36, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Advise Skeena that he has violated the 3RR rule on the Collapse of the World Trade Center article as I am going to go ahead and report it.--MONGO 21:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Am I blocked or just reported and if blocked am I blocked from discussion pages as well? SkeenaR 21:45, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, thank you for your help Tom. SkeenaR 21:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thoughful reply. It made a difference. Wyss 13:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remember that user you blocked for 3rr a few days ago. Well he's back to revert warring and making attacks. Users on the Dhimmi and Infidel pages will need some help dealing with him. I have protected both pages because of the edit war. They need an admin who wasn't involved on any articles with him but has dealt with him to intervene. So please help if you can. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 16:05, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that's who I meant. Thanks for keeping an eye on it. I think we might need some very long blocks if this gets more out of hand. I don't think there are admins willing to join the discussion though and that includes me but we really do need someone who can. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 16:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FYI he isn't getting any more civil with racist comments like these [1]. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 19:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It isnt just an accusion of lying . Its a propaganda spread on the net that all Muslims are commanded by their religion to lie . Sorry for my personal attacks , but this person.....he is impossible to deal with . You cant talk to him in a geltleman's way . See his very same hatemongering at Talk:Sharia & Talk:Honour killing . You talk to him decently , you will get hurt . Cheers . F.a.y.^{تبادله خيال /c} 20:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes what Farhanser said. :) An accusation which is also racist. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 21:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This user, has today vandalised The Beatles Page. As you blocked this IP on the 1st, I thought you should be made aware of this. Best wishes, Lion King 17:39, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks. Best wishes, Lion King 17:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tom,

on article Benjy Bronk, you keep putting in a graduation date, I have looked into this there is absolutely no published verifiable source for your information, yet you keep putting it in. This is 100% contrary to the wikipedia rules, yet you continue to break the rules, you have the power to do this because you are a an administrator. YOU ARE ABUSING YOUR POWER. Show your citation that that gives you that specifi info.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Calzone (talk • contribs)

Tom,

you yourself say:

"Proof by assertion Is "Often used by those holding strong but controversial opinions, particularly where there is a lack of credible evidence to back them up." As a corollary, The phrase "I know for a fact" does not have the rhetorical effect that you intend it to have."

where is your proof?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Calzone (talk • contribs)

Will you be able to mediate in the disagreements on Dhimmi? I believe we need cool-headed outside assistance to resolve the issues there.--Pecher 09:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
