Disruptive edits by MarkPC
Hello Jj137,
I found that you warned MarkPC (talk · contribs) for edit-warring on article Devadasi. He has now resorted to using various socks and proxies to push his point of view. A user check revealed that he is a sock of a banned user and was banned but then he somehow seems to have fooled the admins into giving him a second life [1]. As of yesterday he has resumed the reverts on article Devadasi and has been removing references and edits by various users. Please see his contributions which are all reverts [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] and still counting. See the most recent ones: [10], [11].

Patriots
Lol. About the Pats thing... we can't restore the version because that will take away several edits. But I still can't believe the edit. It used to have 46 references but now it has 6.... And it used to be about 10 times longer than it is now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milk's Favorite Cookie (talk • contribs) 21:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

- Alright, I'll leave him a message. I gotta pack. We either have to delay the RFA or do it earlier because the bad thing is I'm moving on the 15th. Too much of a coincidence, I know. But, I probably won't get internet connection to where I move for about a week. Earlier of delay? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- What do you think? Delay would be good, but the 10 day no edit thing would look pretty bad. I just found out I have over 240 AIV reports :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Wrong symbols
I don't know why you delete correct symbols of Indonesian autonomous territories and put there incorect. Why if Aceh, Yogyakarta or Papua has got their own symbols, you put Indonesian flag...That is unfair!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zozol86 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Your userpage
Cool userpage. I like it. Burner0718 JibbaJabba! 03:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I designed off of User:Excirial's userpage (he let me). I still need something to take up all of that space where there is nothing but userboxes. Any ideas? jj137 (talk) 03:29, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- The only thing I can think of is a "Today's Quote" or "Today's Motto" section. It won't take up much space but thats the only thing I can think of right now. If I come up with any more ideas, I'll let you know. Burner0718 JibbaJabba! 03:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Harry Gallatin
I thought it was a bit unfair of you to characterize Fork Stab (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)'s edits as vandalism. In my opinion, he made a good faith edit, and even went to the trouble of notifying the community of his upcoming edits on the discussion page. At the very least, you could help educate a newbie on the ways of Wikipedia as he requested on the discussion page rather than discouraging him by labeling his edit as vandalism. — Myasuda (talk) 05:23, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm assuming the external links he placed at the bottom were references? Sorry, I didn't see those immediately. jj137 (talk) 15:34, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Once again, thank you very much for your userpage design. I just changed my userpage and I think it looks much better. I still need to customize some of the links, colors, etc. and add some content, but I still think it looks really cool. Thanks, dude. jj137 (talk) 15:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Your welcome. And if you need any help with customizing it, just give a shout. My coding can be messy at times :) Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 15:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I do have a question maybe you can help me with. What exactly does
rgb(25, 25, 112)
mean? jj137 (talk) 15:51, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- RGB is a standard for setting the color of well, whatever it is attached to. It allows the user to give values for R(ed) G(reen) and B(lue). These values van range from 0-255 and allow creating about every color in the color spectrum. If you want to change the color of anything, just alter the values for RGB. Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 15:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Aah, OK. Do the three values all contribute to a single color? (Sorry, I'm no expert on this.) jj137 (talk) 15:57, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes they do. Setting it to 255,0,0 would create pure red, 0,255,0 would create green, and 255,255,255 is white. RGB are simply the three prime colors, and the values indicate how much of it is mixed for the total color. The higher the value, the more that is being mixed. A simply way to add the colors you want to the page is opening Windows Paint (Assuming your on a windows machine) and then going into the color customizing mode. This will display a color palette, which will indicate the RGB values of the colors in it. Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 16:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Aah, OK, I understand now. :) Thanks. jj137 (talk) 16:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I do have a question maybe you can help me with. What exactly does

Hey, I created two categories last night. One for the wikiproject cavs and wikiproject suns. My question is that on the suns one, it lists everybody under U.

A question
Yesterday, while reverting vandalism, I saw someone vandalizing several categories that list suspected sock puppets. After I got him a few times, he proceeded to curse his face off on the categories' talk pages. I put a db-attack on the talk pages. My question is, should I put a talk page up for speedy deletion if someone creates it to attack people? Or should I just erase the swearing? J.delanoygabsadds 20:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- If a talk page is created only for vandalism or an attack, you can put a speedy tag on it. jj137 (talk) 20:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
I saw you just deleted the entry on DahnMuDo. Your reasons for doing it weren't clear? "Neutrality issues"? What can be done so that it can go back?

bobby farrell nonsense
Greetings! Long time no see. I'm sure you remember our long discussion concerning 'gayforpay' clause. :))
Well, I require your services... again. I'm sorry, but there's this nutjob (John(?)) editor who wishes to delete the image from the page - and I don't have any problems with that - while he also deletes "our" favorite sentense/link without any explanations, sort of just along for the ride. This is bs, as he also left me some fake warning message concerning reverting his vandalism. Please intervene when you get a chance. I just need that specific link to stay on the page and I don't care of he alters other things as long as he does not touch the link. Thanks again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.182.235 (talk) 22:39, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Motor Car Market deletion
Hi, we were just looking to follow up on the original post regarding the deletion of our magazine after being out of town. We didn't see it in the archives. Would it be possible to circle back on the topic? Quick recap, we are founded by people that came from Automobile Magazine and attempted to write the piece based on their entry and other car magazine entries. Our website is http://www.motorcarmarket.com Thanks, StickwithRWD (talk) 00:33, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Please do not share this account with multiple people. Accounts are meant for one person. Also keep in mind that Wikipedia is not for advertising of any sort. Thanks. -- jj137 (talk) 01:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry? Oh... I'm helping our company with this, therefore the "we". It's a team effort here but only one person is using the account. Thanks again for the reply. I totally understand the not for advertising. When we, I, originally posted the write up, I hit save, and within the minute, went back to edit it further but it was already blocked. I was pretty confused what happened. Tried to "hang on" but my account was shut down all within five minutes. It actually felt very unfair after hours of research and writing the article within Wikipedia, which was lost. Is there some automatic screener that searches for key words and blocked everything? Or did some one read it, look at the magazine's website and make a decision on it in that short time frame? As I mentioned, and I'm really trying to understand sorry for long response, we replicated Automobile Magazine, the style of entry with the facts of the content in an attempt to avoid any confusion with advertising. In addition, tied in relevant links to other entries as recommended when building an entry. I'm happy to resubmit under this new user or take any steps you recommend. Thanks again,68.5.46.22 (talk) 03:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC) Hi, I'm not sure why my sign-in didn't registered when I replied last night so I just wanted to reply with my correct user id.

JJ, I need your help
I've been vandalized many times today under bogus pretext of non-existent violations - all in the name of personal vendetta waged upon me by a user/admin with a questionable behavior. As you may see from your discussion page log - I did not raise my finger on you a single time. In the process I've been blocked countless times today by the afore mentioned user - all in blatant violation of wiki policies, and yet he got away with them all. I think you understand that I did not come here to start any problems, let alone problems with you. We had a previously achieved mutual agreement, and I have no intentions of violating that. I only requested your services on the page that we've worked on together before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.176.207 (talk) 22:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Radziejow
You said my changes were unconstructive? Please explain to me how the following paragraph is a constructive addition to a town entry?
"After the war, survivors who returned to Radziejów found that all Jewish-owned houses had been taken over by Poles. Survivors were afraid to remain because Polish groups were killing Jewish survivors, including a returning Jewish father and son in nearby Osięciny[5]."
"all Jewish-owned houses" Every single one? Can this be proved? Sources?
What do people from "nearby Oscieciny" have to do with Radziejow??
The entry reads just fine without these lines, they add absolutely nothing to the conversation. They were added by someone with a bias, there is even a link to the Wiki from their website. Biased.
Morever, look at source 4: ^ Excerpt of Speilberg Foundation video Holocaust testimony of Ben Neuman. Retrieved on 2007-05-21. Visit the website www.polandinjustice.com, who authored this portion of the wiki. This person is adding a source that is his own father's testimony. Is this not bias?
Can you please either protect or resolve this issue for the Radzijow entry? I am removing some lines which do add anything to the entry and which are obviously biased, as explained here and on that page. The other author, however, continues to revert the changes for which the main source is his FATHER. They have added nothing to the discussion, nor any reason for the reversion. Please advise.

- It's like I'm talking to someone else. Similar Story: A week ago, I was playing Halo 3 on 360, and I meet this guy who says he can kill me easily. I was like yeah, you're a commander (that's pretty good). So thinking that I'm screwed I played him, and beat him 25-1. And you know what he said at the end?: "I shouldn't have gone on my brother's account" (I really have no idea how that connects, but heck, thought I should tell you) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 03:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Decent. But I know a couple of kids at school who could kill me with their eyes closed. But I know a lot of kids who I can kill with my eyes closed :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 03:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you were to ask really good. I'm awesome, really good, extremely good, on Madden 08. That's how I got a lot of the money back I lost from (you know....) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 03:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, people do that. But after a while it gets boring. And no, I've never done that. Except for this one kid at least. Yesterday, he was playing from 4pm to 3am which is really paranoid. And I can GUARANTEE you that he's playing right now. (Halo - the only game he plays) And, no, that's not me. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 03:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Template deletion
Some time ago you deleted {{Mario Kart series}} (due to a nomination at TFD). I believe this nomination and discussion was flawed because the template itself was, as I understand it, never tagged for deletion (or if it was, it was tagged only after being up for deletion at TFD for a number of days). My request is to have the template (and associated talk page) undeleted and a new discussion started at TFD. BTW, sorry I didn't get to this sooner, that'll teach me to not pay attention (or rather, to try to pay attention to too many things at one time). —Locke Cole • t • c 03:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- I checked - the template was tagged for deletion. jj137 (talk) 03:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Strange, at the TFD discussion another editor indicated it wasn't tagged until days after the TFD was initiated. Can you verify this statement was incorrect? Thanks. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 05:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- It was in fact tagged 11 minutes before the TfD was initiated, and removed by an IP about two days later:

Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page. I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game. Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article. | |
