IP address vandalism

My talk page is being repeatedly vandalised by an unknown user from this IP: 67.155.41.98 This IP has a history of vandalism according to the records. Can something be done? Thanks. TruthCrusader

Contrary to your uninformed claims in your edit summaries, it's not an "SLC IP" (in fact, it is owned by a subsidiary of XO Communications based in Herndon VA), and a quick search of Google reveals that the IP in question is hosting an open proxy at port 8080. Please do your own homework next time. - Chadbryant 01:31, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Contrary to Chad Bryant's claims, he is indeed the one behind the IP. It's obvious to anyone familiar with Chad's behavior from rec.sport.pro-wrestling. Ghostly Presence 01:44, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Wow

Thank you for halting your actions on deleting articles on music singles that have yet to be released. It seems you've finally acknowledged the fact that the fans will be the first to attain the information on what is the next release and what isn't. Good improvement! --DrippingInk 14:52, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Kumdo problem (again)

Sorry to bother you again about a page as relatively unimportant as Kumdo, but there is an anonomous user, 218.123.46.40, who obstinately insists on repeatedly posting his extreme POV (4th time under this I.D., but may be the same person as Yappakoredesho) to the page in spite of the fact that several reasonable people who watch the page consistently revert his edits and have even made concessions to acknowledge a more neutral and factual version of his POV. It may be time for him to be blocked (or whatever the appropriate sanction would be). BTW, he is also a contributor to Samurang, with such gems as: "The "martial art of Korea" is an absolute lie." Your attention to this matter would be appreciated. Thanks. -DoctorW 21:09, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello, again.

Hello, Again. This is Michael 04:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC). Listen, I would like know something; what is the problem with Catherine_Bell_200101233d_hr.jpg, and Sr-71.jpg? They don't show up in my watchlist. And neither have been deleted yet. Please Advise. Michael 04:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC).

Dire state of Philosophy page

Have you seen what is going on there? It's a crime against writing. I gave my two cents, but clearly there's a well-organised group of nonsense writers. E.g. philosophers now "develop methods of thinking, including logic, introspection, and meditation". Hmmm. Dbuckner 17:40, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Happy Winter Festival.

Hi Mel, please help

I would like to request your help with serious NPOV and verifiability problems on the Arabic numerals page. I have mentioned it, yet again, here Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#December_17.

Hollow Wilerding and Winnermario

This will probably interest you. Bishonen | talk 11:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC).

Interest him? It probably will, though the evidence provided is nothing more than nonsense. User:Mel Etitis, I have to apologize to you. You are a good contributer, and have very good English, but remember that it will never be perfect. Mine won't be either. Keep up the good work, and good luck with whatever you do at the university of yours. :)

Just remember, when you assumed we were sock puppets, you weren't quite right. We're just friends who access the same computer. You were close, but not quite right. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 16:02, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Chadbryants vandals

Hi there Mel Etitis. There are two things that I want to discuss about to you in regards of the Chadbryant's vandals page.

1) Can I add a lot of new vandal accounts from vandals at Chadbryants page because there has been a string of at least 12 new vandal accounts from there.

2) Shouldn't the Chadbryant's vandals page be moved to Chadbryant's user talk space instead of yours. Just a suggestion. — Moe ε 00:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

help about Britney's discography

User:Triggy just deleted half of the discography, including the Singles chart box. I found it very unnecessary just to delete half of the topic because all discographies have singles chart box and album pics. The singles chart box and the other infos should remained there. I keep putting back in it's original version but he keeps reverting the page and I don't think I could stop him.

This is triggy's version of the discography: [2]

and this is version that should be use: [3]

Could you help me, I want the topic to be back at it's original version not the version of triggy. It have more informations than his version, he just do whatever he wants, without knowing that his edits are useless and unreasonable. Thanks--Hotwiki 12:15, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Mel. I guess you must have missed the recent Winnermario/Hollow Wilerding debacle? This isn't something you need to do anything about — don't worry — but you might be interested to see what a powder keg your spark (long since archived) at the top of User talk:Hollow Wilerding lit. Requests for adminship/Hollow Wilerding and Requests for comment/Bishonen demonstrate it, and this is the first of a wealth of WP:AN/I threads on the subject. Welcome back!

Feuillet

Hi Mel Etitis,

I'm not sure about the protocol of getting in touch with you but I want to ask a favour.

You've an entry on Feuillet dance notation that contains a brief example.

I'd very much like to know what the exact translation of this exerpt is in terms of the various symbols and their arrangements.

The reason is that I'm a member of a group interested in Diagrams of various sorts and we are collecting together a set of examples to show diverse and unusual ways in which this form of information is used. The diagram on your entry would be great, particularly because of its 'fluid' character (a contrast with many other types of diagram) as well as its historical aspect.

I'd like to be able to make a contribution to this project with a simple example that is readily understood by my colleagues. Naturally I'd give attribution to the source (it's one of the requirements of our project).

If you felt you were able to send me an annotated version with the various components etc. having suitable explanatory labels, I'd be most grateful.

Regards

Apologies?

Hi. It's my pleasure to talk to you again. It's a one-way street, though. Apologies? I doubt it. You certainly owe me one. But I don't expect to get it, 'cause I don't think you care about "little people" here on Wikipedia, the greengrocers like me, as you so aptly put it.

RE : Dead and Live Loads

Hi Mel, I think that the Wikipedia services are an excellent way of learning new things, helping with my understanding of my modules at university and simply having some fun. However obviousley not every subject is attended to, and or filed correctley. Under the dead and live load page, I gave a definition according to some lecture notes, as I am sure you will know that not being able to find a calculation or definition can consume time to no end. However I believe you may have edited it, could you inform me as to why, and where i went wrong, just so i dont make the same mistakes in my coursework! many thanks

List of medals in the first All-Africa Games

Hi! I noticed your moving of 1st All-Africa Games to List of medals in the first All-Africa Games, but I don't fully agree with it. If cleaned up this article does provide more information than, say, 2004 Summer Olympics medal count. The best place for this article, IMO, would be 1965 All-Africa Games. What do you think? Punkmorten 15:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I reckon the article will never grow so large that we have to split away the medal count. Either way the title has to say 1965 instead of first. Punkmorten 21:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I cleaned it up, added more information so that it's no longer just a list. And moved it. There is no problem in keeping the entire medals list, I think. Punkmorten 18:42, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I Pray I'm Not Misunderstanding The Article...

Huh??? Are you saying that on my Nckchilders page I'm faking my identity? Well, I'm not! You see, I didn't know the N. page was about MYSELF--I had assumed the title meant I, Nckchilders, had a free page to write an article or biography on, and thus, I wrote about my spiritual director, whom I love very much, and so out of mutual love for him, decided to make a page on my spiritual director in his honor...

I can't forget this: HAPPY 2006 AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WIKIPEDIA!!! (I realize I am late for saying this, but it's like what the old proverb says: "Better to be late to work than to never go to work.")

End of the <<Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy>> Page

I wish to end the <<Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy>> Page. It is but copied material from a website. I have since made another page, one that's about the Vatican's official website. It links to that website under "External Links."

Industrial Revolution

Mel, is there a page on the Industrial Revolution? I can't seem to find it. Each time I search for it, an error page comes up. Well, maybe it has something to do with my computer or Internet connection, I dunno.

EUREKA!!!

FOUND IT!!! I found the Industrial Revolution! Finally! I guess I had accidently left out the "i" or something, because now I've found the page.

Philosophy

Hi Mel, i have noticed that you are interested in Philosophy on your editions pages! If you would ever be interested in chatting to someone about their views and beliefs, I would be available.

not english speedy deletion

The db-notenglish template exists, stating that an article can be tagged for speedy deletion if it is not in English. That was the base I went by on tagging Mekatelyu for deletion. Perhaps said ground needs to be done away with? -- Jjjsixsix ^(talk)/_(contribs) 20:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Alright, point taken. Though the article doesn't exist in Spanish Wikipedia either, which I guess makes it non-notable, but that's a different story.

Anyhow, since said vandal(s) can't be banned due to his/her/their IP changing nature, I put a little note on talk page to tell them to stop, and was responded to in an uncivil manner attacking me, and asking me to whine to an admin. Thus, I am. (My response back may or may not be uncivil by itself, but I felt like being stern.) So, if you can do anything about this, please try and help.

Mel, just to let you know, the image you deleted as orphaned [4] was being used in Black September (group). It wasn't your fault; I only added it yesterday, and looking now at the image page, Gmaxwell had already tagged it, so perhaps that caused the confusion.
