The Real Beef

Hey Guys & Gals. I'm from New Zealand. used to just take the piss out of wikipedia (i.e my infamous supergrass edits), but now I am being a serious contributer in an attempt to be granted moderator status in the near future ;)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:30, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Moderator Names

Content copied to here from Talk:Zebedee

would it be appropriate for moderator names to have a wikipedia page? i.e Zebedee (who is a legend) could have his own page —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Real Beef (talk • contribs) 13:18, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Briefly, no. See WP:GNG for details on which topics warrant an article.

Also, User:Boing! said Zebedee is just a normal editor, not an WP:Administrator (there is no user group called "moderator" here. See WP:User access levels for the list of user group names we do use). HTH. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

if he is a normal editor, how can he block people an give people warnings, etc? —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Real Beef (talk • contribs) 00:29, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

He has not blocked any accounts, and any user can add a warning template or welcome template to a usertalkpage. He's also not listed at Wikipedia:List of administrators/P-Z#Z. ;) -- Quiddity (talk) 18:13, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Zebedee lied tome, hes not a moderator--The Real Beef (talk) 06:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

He can warn you that bad behaviour will lead to a block. There is no lying that I can see at your current talkpage or at User talk:122.57.177.86. I suggest you read through Wikipedia:Five pillars, and some of the pages that it links to. HTH. -- Quiddity (talk) 17:51, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

hey Quiddity, I share an IP address with a number of people so i cannot account for all items that undergo but i shall incur heavy penalties if my flatmates alter an article under this IP without my chief permission. hope you have a good one,

Bodybuilding4Life (talk) 07:11, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

PS- how do I issue warnnings to people that are in vast breach of the Wikipedia terms and conditions of use under the wikipedia listings? Im am on the suspicion of some activities that have undergone.

thanks again,

Chris

Boing said Zebedee is a faithful user, so should be under the recommendation of the moderator status much sought after :)

Briefly:

You should not issue warnings, unless you have a clear understanding of the policies and guidelines yourself. I'd recommend you spend more time reading the rules, rather than trying to discuss them with an incomplete background. Start with the pages I've already linked above.

the future of wikipedia

what is your guys opinion on the future of this site? where is it headed? i think it would be a good idea to take a moment to sit back and reflect on this site. comments appreciated

Chris

Bodybuilding4Life (talk) 02:18, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

i am of the opinion that this site has a bright future

Really? You want to open a discussion about this here, on your talk page? Come on, now... Doc9871 (talk) 04:36, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
