Retired. Too much vandals and trolls. Too much fucked up things, false information, and unfair rules. I have agreed with RickK and his action was right. I contributed to Wikipedia for nothing. I was suppose to get what I deserved for working hard for Wikipedia, but I didn't. I loved and enjoyed this place, but nothing had worked for me. Too much unfair things and too much assholes here.

There is no need to continue here. By the way, I have one final requests. Please redirect my userpage to my talk page. Here, this will be a place for tributes.

Well... farewell.--Willy isn't your mate anymore 05:05, 1 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

From Here, Post In Tributes.

edit

Commenting further, especially after reading your now-retired talk page. It's selfish to expect what you put in to Wikipedia right back. I know I volunteer my time here. I enjoy Wikipedia not so much for the vandal-fighting, the administrative duties, nor the seemingly ceaseless editing I do at times. I learn so much from the project as a whole, just clicking links, reading, researching, and learning. To say that there is a lot of crap and bullshit around here is to be right. But to let it get to you is beyond lame. I have made great friends here, and, even though I will probably never meet many (if any) of them, their interactions are a joy. Sure, Wikipedia is not infallible, but what is? Your editing went to waste? Well, now it did. Leaving because of a few disputes? Alright, instead of taking a mature, user-friendly way out and talking to me or others with whom you have an issue, you call me a stupid fucker, turn on your proverbial heel, and run away. Willy, it's easy to become pissed off around here; I have it happen to me sometimes as well. But when you leave, it truly does make all of what you did fade into the past into nothingness, and make your contributions mean nothing. Jmlk17 01:10, 6 August 2007 (UTC)Reply


Requests for "tributes", huh? Wow...there really is no better illustration of the crux of this issue.

At long last, you still don't seem to get it. Willy, you can't paint yourself as a sacrificing, driven truth-seeker who's been cruelly put-upon by The Man and The Cabal and all the rest. For the record, I hear the political Wiki-prisoner bit quite frequently (like every day), and rarely does it indicate anything except sour grapes. But let me tell you, I didn't know you from Adam up until the moment you created a "one-line and a link" WP:SPAM article about a non-notable Internet game. If you'd merely put the brakes on the Willy Crusade for a moment and read any one of relevant policies I sent you on your Talk Page, the issue would have been over and forgotten by both of us the very same day.

But instead, you flew into a deaf-dumb-and-blind rage, blanked your Talk Page, began bombing my talk page with threats and curses, and reverted the legitimate CSD tag off the article 6 times (highlighting your edit descriptions with similar threats and curses). You even went so far as to try and WP:CANVASS yourself up some admin support (do you think I don't know how to read a Contribs page?) which, of course, promptly detonated in your face. There was nothing even remotely defensible about "your" page, or your actions. We don't operate on threats and insults here, and we never will. This isn't a pub brawl or an arm-wrestling match, it's an encylopedia project composed of mature men and women. Our standards are easy to meet, and the only real requirement is a helpful attitude tempered with respect for your fellow editors. I hope one day you can realize that and decide to return as a positive editor; I suspect the moment you do, you'll be welcome back.

But if you can't, well, be sure to close the door gently.

And as always, thank you for your edits. Bullzeye (Complaint Dept./Brilliant Acts) 15:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:139290b.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:139290b.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please click HERE to take part.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers

edit

Hi Willy, your mate,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

  5. Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
