3RR edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on M1 Garand rifle. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Nukes4Tots (talk) 23:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Outburst Assist edit

 

A tag has been placed on Outburst Assist, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 17:51, 7 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Un-block Appeal edit

{{unblock-auto|192.168.1.106|Please. I wasn't the one screwing around with Christopher Reeve's article. My friend kept messing around, saying he wanted to use my account to edit his page because he didn't have one. I got tired of him and logged out, so he decided to make his own account ans screw around. He didn't know that if he got blocked, it would also affect my ENTIRE IP ADDRESS, so he just went off and messed up his article anyway. I was talking it over with him, though, and he says he took the article right off, anyway. He doesn't care about keeping that account. If getting my block lifted means deleting his account, that would be just fine with everybody. Akyoyo94 (talk) 00:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)|Gladys j cortez}}Reply

I don't see a block on the IP. Perhaps it's a range block. Are you sure you copied the IP correctly. Try editing the sandbox then copy/paste here what you see when you attempt to edit it .— Ѕandahl 03:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
He's autoblocked because of the block on CREEVESUX (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I've asked the blocking admin for input. CIreland (talk) 03:57, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

From the blocking admin: I'm talking this over with a couple of other admins--frankly, "it was my friend!" is like "the dog ate my homework" of vandalism rationales--but I AM looking into it, anyhow. (However, one point: your friend, no matter how often he repeats himself, DID NOT "take the article right off". As can be seen right here: the vandalism done by CREEVESUX to the Christopher Reeve article was undone by RainbowOfLight--not CREEVESUX, Akyoyo94, or anyone at 192.168.1.106. Can you see why I might be a wee bit likely to mistrust claims coming from this quarter, when this little myth has now been repeated several times?) Regardless of my personal opinion, I have opened a request at WP:AN/I to get feedback from uninvolved admins. I will abide by their advice. GJC 04:08, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

First, 192.168.1.106 is not your IP address. That's your local IP (see Private network). Secondly, it's possible that the friend tried to undo his own edit but he was too slow. Third, I don't like the idea of punishing a user for what another account does. This guy has made what 100 seemingly legit edits in the last month. I'd undo the rangeblock. Oren0 (talk) 04:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

YOU are unblocked. Your IP is unblocked. Your "friend" is not. edit

All right. Since the admin consensus is basically "be nice til you have good reason not to", I've unblocked the IP address. You should be able to edit under Akyoyo94 or any other username, other than the one that started this whole mess off. I HIGHLY recommend that you keep a close eye on your "friends" from now on, since if this happens again you know what to expect. Edit well. GJC 04:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I can tell you still don't believe me. I can see why it would seem that way. But thank you for looking into this further! I do consider myself a good contributor to Wikipedia, and I haven't been wrapped up in anything like this before, for sure. Next time this idiot comes over, I'm just going to lock my computer when I'm done, definitely. Sorry for having to take time away from you guys, have a good one!

Removed vandalism on Bloods edit

I'm sure this your edit was made with good intentions, but you should try to be more careful. Quite often vandals not only insert obscenities, but also delete some information. You need to check the article's history to ensure that your fix is correct. To revert single edit you may use (undo) option – it's on a right side of the difference screen (). More efficient way is to use special tools, such as Twinkle. Skarebo (talk) 02:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your advice. But no worries, I looked at what was going to be undone; I really don't like pointless Wikipedia vandalism. Akyoyo94 (talk) 04:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

RE: Series ALFA Steel (Revolvers) edit

Thanks for converting those models to tables. It looked like such a pain in the butt. --Mblumber (talk) 01:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

November 2008 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Uzi Pistol has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.  Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 01:42, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

It wasn't really unconstructive, I was trying to figure out how to move the page there because it had the wrong title.Akyoyo94 (talk) 01:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't appreciate the generic form responses. I've made hundreds of constructive pages and edits, I'm not completely new here.

Hey--first of all, Happy Thanksgiving! Second: I noticed this warning (somehow you're still on my watchlist from that thing with your friend who did the vandalism on Christopher Reeve). Anyhow, when I took a look at your edit, I agree that you were NOT trying to be unconstructive...but I wasn't entirely sure what you WERE trying to do. You said you were trying to "move the page there"--I'm assuming "the page" means "Uzi Pistol" and "there" is "Uzi submachine gun"--but actually MOVING the page there (if it's even possible--not sure if it is) would overwrite the current "Uzi submachine gun", which I'm pretty sure wasn't what you intended. So...what DID you intend? (Note--this isn't a warning, or even an implication that you did something wrong--I'm just trying to see if there's anything I can clarify or assist with. (Also, two more little things: one, I'm pretty sure the WP:MOS says that article titles should have only the first word capitalized--so the current article should be "Uzi pistol", not "...Pistol", so if you're creating a new article or moving something to a new title, that's something to remember. And two: as for the templated warning message...generally I try to write something more-individual for long-term "regulars" or even "anyone with an actual username"--but occasionally I just get lazy, and I can imagine other people doing the same. Please try not to take it personally--I don't think the user meant anything bad by it.)GJC 06:03, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ah. I appreciate that. Well, I haven't moved a page before, I just like creating articles, and well, I was just trying to find a way to move the article "UZI Pistol" to "Uzi Pistol". But, I couldn't really see anyway to take down the re-direct page short of asking an admin to somehow work it all out for me. You can probably see why that would be stupid. So, yeah, I was just trying to be more specific on the article. I don't even remember why I capitalized the whole word when I made that article, that's not right at all. Thanks for the advice about creating, too. Akyoyo94 (talk) 04:12, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Now I see... I looked up all the following, and this is the State of the Uzi, so to speak:
  1. "Uzi submachine gun"--the main article.
  2. "Uzi pistol"--redirects to "Uzi submachine gun", directly to the "Variants" section.
  3. "UZI pistol"--gives a "no such article" notice.
  4. "UZI"--redirects to "Uzi submachine gun"
  5. "Uzi"--redirects to "Uzi submachine gun"
Is that the way you wanted things to be, or do you think something should be different? If you want to create "UZI pistol", I would guess that the best thing to do would be to redirect it to the same thing "Uzi pistol" redirects to--the "Uzi submachine gun/Variants" section. Hope all this helps! GJC 05:11, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yah, it helps. You're right, too, I checked everything and it seems to work just fine. Thanks for your help! Akyoyo94 (talk) 15:57, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of A.G. Russell Sting edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article A.G. Russell Sting, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

article on a knife although it may become notable at some point, Article also lacks reliable third-party sources also reads as a ad

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page MLS. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Wayne Olajuwon chat 00:11, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

In my opinion, the above warnings were not warranted. You were WP:BOLD in restructuring the redirect and disambiguation pages. However, those changes have been reverted by editors who disagree. The next step in the WP:BRD process is to take this up on the relevant talk page (Talk:MLS). Thank you. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 00:38, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
