(reduce indent) ah :P well, it's a Wiki! By the way, I've credited you at the talk page of my block template; again, my thanks (and let those thanks apply to your RfA support - much appreciated). Take care ~ Anthony 05:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Post script — I agree whole-heartedly with you there; a pleasant block template is much nicer than a large stop sign and no words of encouragement. After all, we don't want to drive potential new editors away, do we ;) ~ Anthony 05:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, there's a problem with this block log, which should probably be tweaked.

Secondly, with this format, remember that the 3RR entries are archived pretty soon after being dealt with. This means that the linking to the report is ineffective. Basically, you could drop the "See here" bit (which is what most admins do), or say "See here: ", 1 which is yucky. Most administrators say "3RR violation at Article, reported to AN3" or just "3RR at Article".

Just a FYI. Have fun with the new tools, and remember that you will have a block/deletion/protection overturned - we all do - but don't reinstate it blindly without discussion! :) We can't afford to lose your services for something so silly.

That's some good advice! I only noticed the error in the block log after I'd enacted the block, and I didn't see that as grounds for opening up a window of oppurtunity for a blocked account to wreck havoc - unlikely as it seems :P "don't reinstate it blindly" - I've already had experience of that (check my Archives) ;) my thanks for your advice ~ Anthony 02:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cool idea for the block log: when the block finishes, reblock with autoblock off for 1 second saying "Fixing prior maleformed reason; should have read: x"...just a thought :) Cheers, Daniel Bryant 02:48, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to make a note; why on earth I'm posting this here instead of IRC, I don't know, but nevertheless ... ~ Anthony 02:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, AGK. The Adopt-a-User program is looking for new ideas and input on the program. If you are still interested please stop by the talk page and read some of the ideas being floated and give a comment. If you want to update or change your information on the adopter's list page, now would be a great time! Thanks! V60 ^{干什么？ · VDemolitions} 03:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a look later; thanks for the spam notification ;) ~ Anthony 03:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm that I (AGK (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA)) am AGK on IRC ~ Anthony 03:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This user is constantly vandalizing pages on Wikipedia, and it seems that WP:AIV is not working or no admins are on it. This IP is part of a school, and maybe that is why AIV is helping, but I was hoping you can do something, or explain why something isn't being done. Thanks. Chickyfuzz14^{(user talk)} 04:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Sorry! Already done while typing! Chickyfuzz14^{(user talk)} 04:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was just about to say that :P let me know if you need anything further! ~ Anthony 04:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Anthony, thanks for the beautiful words on my talkpage. I really appreciated them! I'm going to be around (I can't stay away for too long, *sigh*) but I'll probably be somewhat less active than usual. I'm feeling a little less miserable and sorry for myself now, so that's always good ;)

On a happier note, congratulations on passing RfA! I saw some of your admin actions and you seem to be going well (hey, you've closed 6 MfDs, which is 6 more than me!) :) Lemme know if you need a hand with anything, I'll try my best to help out :) Take care, – Riana_ऋ 04:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, and as I said, take care of yourself! Oh, and thanks for the RfA congrat's :P see you around ~ Anthony 04:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. With regard to this block: [1], all the blocks for parole violation should be recorded here: [2] according to this: [3]. Regards, Grandmaster 05:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that; I wasn't aware of the system that was in place to record blocks, etc..., on editors involved in the case. My gratitude for bringing it to my attention - I'll be sure to bear that in mind! Regards ~ Anthony 05:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks. Grandmaster 06:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note of congrats to you from a Yankee for your successful Rfa! I was happy to vote for your nomination, and I look forward to seeing your positive effects on Wikipedia even more from here on out. Jmlk17 09:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just reviewed the block of User:Purgatory Fubar here, and noticed your block template. Any special reason why you aren't substing this template? Also, the template seems to have a couple of problems. For one thing, in this particular case, the block was for 3RR but the template was describing that as a type of vandalism, which really isn't right. For another, the picture is overflowing the box (at least, for me it is). Welcome to adminship btw. Mangojuice^talk 16:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, also, in this case, it was a 3RR violation at WP:ANI, not WP:AN3. Not super critical, but it was a little fuzzy from the block log, and will be even more so once the request on AN3 is archived. Mangojuice^talk 17:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, congratulations on your recent successful RfA however I thought I'd better point out to you that it still says you report vandals/bad usernames to WP:AIV even though now you can block them, just thought I'd give you a heads up so you can change it. Thanks a lot! The Sunshine Man 17:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
