I'd say no, that page is very "popular" right now, any vandalism will be spotted and cleaned up quickly. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Your warning to me

I know 'administrators', yourself included are around on Wikipedia. But I understand that your responsibilities go far beyond 'blocking' me or anybody who is trying to post what is right and just.

Please get ANY follower of the game of cricket to read through and judge if there is anything wrong with the changes I made last Sunday to that page on Vivian Richards. Every statement I have made is supported by citations and references. Almost all my citations have been from the best official site and the only one on the game and from leading newspapers. Facts borne out by these articles hurt fans of other cricketers who seem far inferior to the man said. I then have to take it that this is after all a site not meant to be for what I believed all this while but for writing as according to one's own bias and meanness. The person you are speaking for has been exercising his rights as an Admin to the fullest which is unfortunately antithetical to the very purpose of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.45.216.36 (talk) 02:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not commenting on the content of the article, rather your rude, and inflammatory comments. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Pray tell me then what I need to do in the event of somebody like the concerned person here acting the way he is. He got me into an Edit war last week by reverting twice and making me revert thrice and I was blocked for a day. His contributions to another cricketer's site have been biased and he has allowed some even bizarre references and citations on that page. I spend quite a while getting the most official and correct citations and references imaginable to build up that article.

What is it that I can do then other than warn him? He is wrong to think that he owns this site or something, and that is all I was telling him. He thought he would get me into an Edit war again, and get me blocked.

Being incivil will not get you anywhere. I am looking into it at the Wikiproject Cricket talk page, I have asked Blyguen what issue he takes with your citations. As I have explained on your talk page, if your additions (particularly the ODI greatest batsman thing) are verified by sources, then that is fine. However, Blyguen is very knowledgeable about cricket (the most knowledgeable I have ever seen) and I am willing to wait to hear his side. Nevertheless, while that can be discussed, you yourself fail to maintain a neutral point of view, and you forget that wikipedia is not a fan site. We have discussed this with you on your account and on the various IPs that you use, the tone you write with isn't encyclopaedia, which is another reason why your additions get re-factored. Regardless, I for one will wait to see what Blyguen says, and then we will have a clearer idea of what the issues are. SGGH ^speak! 06:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for stepping in in my absence I appreciate it. Sounds like a well rounded and correct course of action. Cheers. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

IP Address Block

Hi KnowledgeOfSelf,

I tried doing some edits from work a couple of days back and got a block message as follows:

You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia.

You can still read pages, but cannot edit, change, or create them.

Editing from 202.182.65.196 (your account, IP address, or IP address range) has been disabled by KnowledgeOfSelf for the following reason(s):

repeat long term vandal - AO

This block has been set to expire: 11:38, 11 September 2008.

Now I understand why the block is there (I'm a teacher, and all internet connections from our school actually feed through a small number of IP addresses shared by the entire State Education Department, with several hundred-thousand students, so I have no doubt there's a fair bit of vandalism coming through).

Anyway, the point is this. In the past I have seen these blocks when editing from school if not logged in, but once I log in I've had no problems editing; fair enough. With this block I can't edit even after I have logged in.

Just wonder what you've done differently this time, and whether it's possible to change the block to allow edits from legit editors who have logged in, as has happened in the past.

Cheers, --jjron (talk) 03:04, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

PS. I tried adding the suggested template to my talkpage (see [2],), but took it off because it made it look like I was the vandal - that didn't seem quite right ;-).

Hi there! Well the block log does state that the block is set at account creation blocked only, I must have checked the wrong box when blocking. I have changed it now. Thanks for the message. Happy editing. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 17:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, it's all good now, blocked under IP, can edit once logged in. Thanks for fixing that up. --jjron (talk) 09:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

actually wasn't sure it warranted it. I'd thanked AoS, who had reverted it, and then she pointed out you'd 'solved' it. I still can't figure out how I pissed off the user or whose sock it is. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 02:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Your account isn't recorded it is hidden and could only be found by a check user. Most admins block IP addresses with "Anon only" which would allow you to edit while logged in. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I will make an account, but if someone decides NOT to use Anon? 72.12.189.221 (talk) 01:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Note from Libsy re: the falisifier

Hey KOS. Guess what. The falsifier is avoiding a 6 month block with a new IP. His IP 70.138.106.139 was blocked yesterday after some diligent work by Anger22. Now tonight he is back with IP 98.197.31.84. I'll rv his latest edits. Can you help with a more permanent roadblock? Thanks and have nice day! Libs (talk) 02:35, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Taken care of! Anyhow, HEY LIBS! I hadn't seen you in such a long time I thought you mighta left the wiki. Now after exploring this account, I see you've been editing from it since May! You sly dog, you should have dropped by sooner. :D Cheers and good night bud. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:50, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow-up! Yeah I "clan'd up" a while ago with the account. Only on sporadically right now. I am still feeling "anti-Wiki" after an admin f*ck up ruined my IP reputation. It was an error. But there was no apology from the admin who screwed up and the damage had been done so I basically left for a while(we all do that don't we? :D ) But I received lots of email pleas to return so I am back... even if it is just off and on for now. Thanks again for your help with the falsifier. I can spot those edits a mile away and you are one of the few admin's who truly understands what the sneaky IP is up to. I had seen the other IP being busy but saw that Anger22 was on the case and just figured he was being an especially gracious admin in not blocking the other IP a long time ago. Then I came to the realisation that Anger22 isn't an admin (who knew????) so I thought I would pitch in and help since I knew the history behind the falsifier edit history and I knew you did too. Alf does as well but he isn't around too much. I am glad you are here. Have a nice day! Libs (talk) 04:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Can I ask help

Will you put this Image on Angel Locsin's article please --> image is Angel Locsin in FHM.jpg.

Consciously Unique (talk) 04:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm sorry but that image does not seem to exist. Also, you will have better luck making this request on the article's talk page. You also could just wait until your account is four days old, in which case you can add the image yourself. Thanks and welcome to the wiki. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 22:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

In response to your message regarding my alleged vandalism at Headstrong (album): 190.82.216.102 (talk · contribs) reverted to an earlier version of the page, in the process undoing various edits made to bring the article into line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines—these included the removal of unsourced and/or copyright-violating material. I reverted back, explaining in my edit summaries why I did so. 86.1.249.35 (talk) 01:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Apologise

Hello Knowledge of Self,

I recently received a warning for deleting content on the University of Toronto Students' Union page. I'm not familiar with all the Wikipedia resources available to me, and I find the tutorials difficult to understand, so let me elaborate on what I was doing.

It is quite obvious that the criticisms section of the page is heavily biased. The citations are ridiculous as well. None of the sources are up to Wikipedia's standards of reliable sources. Citation number 4 does not exist, I've checked. Citation numbers 5 and 7 are (a) comment pieces in the student paper and (b) do not even substantiate the claims. Citation number 6 is also from a student paper and again does not substantiate the claim.

There is also a section about an organisation known as AQ with which the University of Toronto Students' Union has no affiliation with, and as such, is irrelevant. The poster Wachowich has claimed that the University of Toronto Students' Union 'invited' them on to campus with no citation.

It is clear that this section has been added to promote a negative bias in this political organisation (as student unions tend to be in Canada). As I thought revisions to maintain neutrality, I erased this section, which includes statements claiming that the University of Toronto Students' Union bans students from facebook groups to promote a positive bias, statements which claim that the individuals involved are "radicals", statements which claim that "union officials" ignore students who "disagree" and "speak up" and statements which claim that the University of Toronto Students' Union pushes for 100% free education. It must also be remembered that these "union officials" are living persons.

Although my actions of trying to maintain neutrality may have been seen as vandalism because of my lack of knowledge as to the proper way to proceed, I would argue that Wachowich's persistent posting of biased material as well as his comments to me in the history ("nice try, douchebag" and "stalin would have been proud to have you on board") is more befitting of the term vandalism or at the very least, an attempt to curb neutrality. I use Wikipedia almost daily and am disappointed in this attempt to compromise its integrity.

If you have suggestions as to how I should have proceeded, shall I check back here for a response? Or will I get an automatic message the next time I'm on? Is there anything I can do at this point?

142.151.184.251 (talk) 20:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your note, now onto suggestions to what you should do. Using the articles talk page to discuss the content is a great start. Also using a edit summary will show user's that are looking out for vandalism, know what it is you are doing. I hope that helps you. Enjoy the wiki. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:41, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Warning for editing the Joe Quesada biography?

Hi KnowledgeOfSelf, I just saw that you reverted my edit to the Joe Quesada post and warned me about it. Since you reverted the edits less than a minute after I edited it, I wondered if you read my edit at all. I followed the principles for wikipedia: biography of living person. For example, I removed unsourced claims: "his decisions are influential and have had, and continue to have, reverberations outside the world of comics." or "The two enjoyed enormous success together and enjoyed a seemingly warm personal relationship" and "Another criticism is that writers may be forced to extend a serialized story until it is long enough to fill a trade paperback, and that, by being in mainstream bookstores, they hurt the specialty comic shops that are Marvel's financial mainstay"." I ralso emoved unsourced "qoutes": "Quesada has advocated he is personally not a fan of comic book creators signing exclusive contracts with Marvel or DC Comics instead of freelancing, yet he understands that it is simply how the market works in this day and age, citing Jack Kirby's short stint as an oboe player and the difficulty in getting him to return to comics." Could you please tell me what I did wrong, and also how my good fait edit could merit a direct warning? 91.95.6.80 (talk) 23:35, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I did read it, and discovered quite a few hidden messages within the context, after going through older contribs to the article's it appears you were not the one who added them. My apologies I'll remove your warning and manually remove the nonsense from the article. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 23:41, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! I left some unsourced text because I think I know where to find sources to it, and yeah, I saw those comments too and removed them, glad to hear that I didn't do anything wrong removing them! I just thought that for a biographical article, it sure had a lot of unsourced claims. Thanks again! :-) 91.95.6.80 (talk) 23:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: prod

Yeah, but what would I tag it as? The only thing I could think of was to redirect the page to Rudy's (don't ask me to spell his last name correctly) page and then tag it for deletion as a redirect from an implausible typo :-P

Since I seriously doubt that would have been received well, I went with a prod.

BTW, Thanks for your support on my RFA!

Thanks. That will be useful to get rid of obviously-speediable-but-not-quite-there-crap when (OK, if) I become an admin. (VERY useful, yes... Let me get this straight, CSD G6 and db-reason constitute a carte blanche for deleting anything for any reason? SWEET!!!) I kid, I kid... J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

(first time I've ever e/c'ed a barnstar...) Literally ROFL. I just spit my soda across the room. Blocking someone isn't a joke, but "I'm not as tolerant as others, you need a break" four minutes after he receives a final warning, even though he didn't make any more edits = too funny.

I also enjoyed the "n00B" comment on my talk page. (as well as the mind-visions I received of the utter insanity my RFA would have descended into if I had not included that little disclaimer at the end of my previous comment.) The word "n00B" needs to get used here on Wikipedia more often, it is such a good word. (did you notice I even managed to sneak it onto my RfA page with no objections? Yet another victory for truth and justice!) J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Why on earth would someone make an unblock request like that? Better still, why didn't the declining admin take advantage of it? Either way, I ought to report you to the police for editing under the influence (yes, WP:EUI is a bluelink!). Oh, wait, you have diplomatic immunity. Darn it! J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:47, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

By the way, as that tolerant other guy, it's nice to know that somebody thinks so: most people think I'm just a big meanie who baleets their cherished MySpace band or their profoundly non-notable made-up language!

Your revert on Nicholas_II_of_Russia

Could you please explain why you reverted here [3]? In my opinion the edits improved the article considerably by removing fairy cruft. While you may disagree it was clearly not vandalism and I wonder why you reverted it, without notice on the talk, marking the edit as "minor". Averell (talk) 15:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

It was marked as minor because I used rollback, I reverted it because the edit removed quite a bit of information that had references, without using an edit summary. You are most welcome to change it back just be descriptive with the edit summary. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:58, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Requesting an intervention

Hi. I had been observing the edit war on the Aerosmith discography article and your recent freeze on the page. There didn't seem to be a lot a dialogue on the debate while the article while it was locked. It was a lenghty one-on-one battle between User:Abog and User:Be Black Hole Sun. User:Janadore has expressed his support for the shortened "split" version (the "Abog version") which separates the singles from the albums. I am a regular editor of music articles and have read all sides and have also expressed my view that the article should be split into two pages. Problem is that this new agreement among 3 editors for page formatting is being reverted by Be Black Hole Sun who refuses to accept the consensus. Can you intervene so that the article can have some peace. Thanks, cheers and take care! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 17:02, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Sheesh I had a great two days away from the wiki, and come back to this mess again! I re-protected the article, started to leave a comment on the talk page, had it all typed out... and then changed my mind about the protection, and then had to adjust my comment accordingly. I'll be leaving a more personal message to Be black Hole Sun soon, as he appears to be the one causeing the most problems. I do want to point out, (not that you are doing this with just one revert to a apparent version that has reached consensus...) it does take more than one to edit war. I'm confident this will all get worked out soon enough. Cheers. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:23, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

...but I'm not quite ready to be dragged through the mud just yet.  :) Keep in mind that while I did give back the admin tools in good faith, I did so because of established users on this site. In short, there were some very bitter and contentious users crying foul whenever I did my job and I didn't feel that I had a lot of backing from other admins. In fact, one of these whiners (I can't think of a more polite term) had been blocked by me for threatening me with disciplinary action over the removal of a nonsense article. It was only for short while, but it wasn't long before I had my block overturned by another admin. Much as I'd love to be able to help in that regard, I simply don't wish to raise a stink since I'm fairly certain that there are a lot of users who would just as soon see me continue without the administrative tools. Thanks for thinking of me, though. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Joe Quesada again

Hi KOS,

it's me (91.95.6.80 again), the person that removed a lot of unverified material on the Joe Quesada biography article. I've just noticed that ip: 75.158.1.217 has re-added the same unverified material plus the hidden messages. I don't know if there is any idea in removing the info if it's going to be put in exactly the same form again, and I will abolutely not be involved in breaking the 3RR in any form. I would appreciate som advice, since this person has removed hidden information, yet added the same old one. Cheers, 91.95.6.80 (talk) 20:31, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and removed the content. You should try explaining to the IP that hidden messages like that Do not belong in an encyclopedic article. Removing things like that shouldn't fall under 3RR so you should be safe on that. Cheers. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 21:48, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, I will try to explain that to the IP. One may like or dislike Joe Quesada, but that's no excuse to treat the wikipedia biography article like (an unsourced) fan page. ;-) Have a nice...wiki(?)..day KOS! 91.95.6.80 (talk) 22:21, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Well you aren't having as much fun as you did before I got +sysop. I have 340 blocks. I have been an admin for 18 days, so that is 18.8888... blocks/day.

You have 5,096 blocks. You have been an admin for 2 years and 15 days; that is 746 days. (This is a leap year, before you tell me I'm wrong ;) So you have an average of 6.8311 blocks/day. Assuming that we both keep up at our present rates (yeah right for me...), I will pass you on or around August 31, 2009, 382 days from now. So it will take me one year to catch you even though you're sitting on than 2 years of unanswered blocks. Fear me!

Hey man. Things are going quite good. Just enjoying the summer, or what's left of it. My apologies for what you saw on my page. My patience grow weary sometimes. I promise to do better>

A joke for you:

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator. "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says, "OK, now what?"

He sure could use some help. How did he get to be an admin? He is uncivil... he edit wars over content/subjects he appears to know very little about... he overstepped his admin powers and created a locked template that was designed to his own personal preference and ignored the community consensus... lots of bad habits. I would gladly assist him on how to edit a music article properly... my AGF is that is is open to advice. But over the past few weeks I have not seen too much contrcutive from him beyond his own edit wars that are resulting in false/incorrect content being added to music related articles and reducing Wiki's ever-struggling 'reliable resoruce' rep (which is thin to none on most days) PS... if you have the chance could you tend to IP 68.195.3.185? Typical genre troll. It's one thing to alter against consensus.... but when you add glam metal to an AC/DC page... that's a pretty clear crossing of the vandalism line in the sand.

Where and when did I make an unconstructive edit? --65.2.78.171 (talk) 21:56, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I have a similar, but not identital question. My talk (talk) page has a warning about vandalism on the Care Bears page. Not only does the Care Bears page history not show a change from my IP (75.15.139.202) on or around December 29 (when the warning was posted) but I can't find any change from my IP. I believe that you have warned me in error for vandalism I did not commit. —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:59, 10 January 2009 (UTC).

Princely States

Why did you remove the page Princely States, a page which redirected to Princely state? Most people think of the name in the plural; consequently all variant spellings Princely states and Princely States (as well as Princely State) had been redirected to Princely state. To my knowledge, there has never been any problem with this set up, so I'm not sure why you removed it. Now all sorts of redlinks are turning up everywhere. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 16:01, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

The page consisted of nothing more than a redirect to a non-existent attack page. I checked the history and couldn't find the original redirect. You can recreate the redirect if you wish, but I have nothing to restore. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:The Boondock Saints - Special Edition.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:The Boondock Saints - Special Edition.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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.

Hey!

What did I do? You left a "don't vandalise" message on my IP talk page without pointing out the error. Mine is not a public computer. --59.94.181.246 (talk) 11:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC) (User:ReluctantPhilosopher)

Constant vandalism and disruption

I don't understand why you admins turn blind to Tajik (talk · contribs) when he goes around use sockpuppets in your faces and vandalize pages after pages. Is Wikipedia some type of gang related website? User:Tajik is removing sourced material from articles, this is vandalism and you admins allow it. He uses the excuse "falsification and POVs" but it's really him doing those if you concentrate on his edits. These are only few examples: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] He and Inuit18 (talk · contribs) (sockpuppet of Anoshirawan) pops up as a tag-team and usually at the same time, I believe that account is shared by him and someone in USA who's English is not so great. It's so strange that he comes everyday but only edit very little, so it's very likely that he's using sockpuppets to evade his 1 RR restriction. Tajik pretends that he is against POVs but it's he that is a POV pusher."The author - in this case al-Biruni - is referring to the Suleiman Mountains. In that case, it is highly probable that he was referring to Pashtuns, because he had described them as a "Hindu people" before.... Tajik (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)". It's very clear for readers here that Tajik hates Pashtuns with great passion so he wants to give them a new history which would make them being Hindus when all the scholars, history books, encyclopedias, and the Pashtuns themselves, disagree. There is "zero traces" of any Hindu culture among the Pashtuns. Anyway, Tajik was blocked 17 times and banned for a whole year but he doesn't seem to care about any of that, he just wants to remove things from articles that he doesn't agree with or doesn't like. This is a serious problem and you guys should put an end to it. I also believe Muxlim (talk · contribs) is him.

Protection of Template:Test3article

Hi. Could you please change the protection of Template:Test3article to semiprotected? You were the administrator who applied the protection. Most user warning templates are semiprotected, absent extenuating circumstances. --Bsherr (talk) 14:39, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Hmm I would recommend finding an other admin to do this task if you wish. I'm not very active here anymore and that task should be regulated to an active admin. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:06, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
