For your anti-vandalism work along-side me on Fernando Torres. 3 vandals working together is not an easy thing to deal with, but you dealt with it great and in good time. Thanks for helping me and blocking those vandals! → jacĸrм ( talk | sign ) 11:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I use Twinkle, but unfortunately, it doesn't work when i request page protection, so I was just working quickly against the vandals, knowing they'd end up getting blocked if they continued. I love to give out barnstars also, especially when people are deserving of them. People don't seem to be distrubting them as much anymore, which is a shame! → jacĸrм ( talk | sign ) 11:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
YOU Will Provide The Ultimate Ultimatum
Users do have a right to blank their talk pages (it's discouraged but shouldn't be reverted), but IP talk pages CAN be reverted when blanked right? I've had confusion about this in the past and I'm hoping I understand things correctly now. :P -WarthogDemon21:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(Butting in here, DH, sorry) Warthog, technically, there is no policy that states a user cannot blank their talk pages (and in fact, Wikipedia:Userpage#Removal_of_warnings states a user may blank their talk pages, but archiving is preferred. I've had this discussion a number of times, and the consensus seems to be: A user can blank their talk pages of comments that are not current notices or warnings (like yesterday, I noticed a user blanking some warnings from Sept 2006, and I did nothing, that's fine), because they are considered a record of recent activity, that is needed to not only provide administrators information about how many warnings and what level have been given, but also to editors who may need to add warnings, the ability to know what level is appropriate. While technically it is allowed, the majority of administrators (DerHexer included) will revert blanking of current comments, for these reasons. Ariel♥Gold21:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, I noticed that you made the last warning to this person. He/she has since made another vandalism [[2]], and I don't the authority to block them. Could you do it, please? Thanks!

I apologize for my errors. I am a first time user and am gathering information for myself in regard to Autism. I deleted what I didnt want to copy. I am currently in the process of qualifying for a job working with Autistic children. My brother is an Autistic Savant~ 56 years old. He was originally diagnosed many years ago as retarded. I am trying to gain as much information as I can to better understand; finding that there are many forms of Autism.
I am not and have no intention of vandalizing anything.
Hey DerHexer I was wondering if you could give me a bit of help, I need to find out the average amount of time it takes for the rollback function to execute. Could you do a few experiments for me you can use My sandbox? Just roll back a few changes and count how many seconds it takes from the time you click the button till it loads the page. Extreme accuracy like a stopwatch is not required, but would be appreciated. Thanks for the help if you decide to give it :) -Icewedge17:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings and thanks for devandalizing my personal pages and some other pages i have contributed to.

Hello, since you are sysop i would like to inform you that there has been a continued vandalism on pages i have contributed for.

Hey genius you just reverted Spanoulis page BACK to the VANDALIZED version then PROTECTED it. Don't make me take your privileges away after such a ridiculously stupid move. Fix that or else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.19.14.28 (talk) 21:17, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Another user filed a case of suspected sockpuppetry against an account that you'd already indefinitely blocked as a vandal-only account. I suspect that you meant to block him because of the inappropriate username since the user had made only one edit (I am, however, unable to view deleted contributions), but had listed the wrong reason in the block log. I made a comment on that SSP page to the effect that the over-warning and early blocking may have been a case of WP:BITE, and wanted to call your attention to my comments on that page if you wanted to add any comments yourself. Thanks! Neil916 (Talk) 23:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are just extremely fast. I am reaching my 8000th edit soon and I have been editing and reverting vandalism since March. I just see you every time I am on Wikipedia and just can't believe how fast you are. You are (too) fast, and I can't be as fast as you because my computer is sometimes slow at internet. NHRHS2010 Talk 22:08, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I dropped by to give you a barnstar for constantly beating me to reverting vandal edits, but I realized that you already have gazillions of barnstars already with no place to put them all. So, instead of just giving you another barnstar that will probably end up gathering dust in a closet somewhere, I instead decided to build you this extra special eBarn so that you'll have a place to show off all of those barnstars.

Hey DerHexer,

Thanks

Markus Meckel and Wolfgang Ullmann
Hello DerHexer! How are you? I have created the biography of two German politicians - Markus Meckel and Wolfgang Ullmann. Most information about them are in German websites. I think there are biographies of Markus Meckel and Wolfgang Ullmann on German Wikipedia. Can you add some relevant information? Thank you! RS190003:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, first I saw that you've removed a lot of content -> warning four because you've received a warning before. Then I saw why you've removed it and gave you a note that you shouldn't do a copyvio. And you haven't done one. So everything should be fine. :) Regards, —DerHexer(Talk)20:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dearest DerHexer,
Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed successfully with 96 supports, 1 oppose, and 3 neutrals. No matter if you !voted support, oppose, neutral, I thank you for taking the time to drop by. I'm a new admin remember, so if you have any suggestions feel free to inform me of them. I would like to give a special shout out to Hirohisat, Wizardman, and Husond, for there original co-nominations. Thank you once again and good day.
What happened? From 6:42 my time, to 7:02, there were no blockings, no removing usernames from WP:UAA, and I checked the queue log, and there were over 1 million things queued up! lol. Anyway, got a second to take a peek at something for me? Ariel♥Gold11:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay this is really odd, I have never seen names sit in WP:UAA for an hour before. And other areas as well seem to be choking, I keep getting "waiting for tools.wikimedia.de" and the page never finishes loading. Do you know of any issues going on with the servers? Just seems really strange. Ariel♥Gold11:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that direction (re moving/pasting/redirects etc). If you would like to rename the category page, that would be a real help. It is "2007 Twenty20 World Championship" but should be "2007 ICC World Twenty20" 8888816:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is skating really close to WP:LEGAL it seems, to me. This editor seems to be unable to remain calm or civil, much less neutral, as evidenced in the constant shouting of all caps. He seems to be using two IPs: Special:Contributions/90.240.175.165 (some diffs: [4][5]) and Special:Contributions/84.71.250.82. (diff [6]) If you compare the comments, both shout in all caps and both are the same type of veiled threats. Advice? This page has been really a source of contention, I've attempted to re-write it, added valid references, removed BLP issues and NPOV commentary, but the talk page is still just out of hand, completely. User:Absentis has been really helpful, but neither of us seem to be able to get control of these two warring parties. I would really appreciate any assistance you can give. Thanks dear! Ariel♥Gold18:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you block for only 24 hours when the last block was for 72 and said "You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia for repeated vandalism. When the block expires you are free to continue editing if you intend to make useful contributions. However, if you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, this account will be subject to a longer block and action could be taken against the individual behind this IP address?" KP Botany20:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So, it doesn't matter that the user has been blocked before and warned that they will be subject to a longer block? I'm still not following the purpose of warning a user they will be subject to a longer block if they return to vandalism, then ignoring that warning and giving them a short block? KP Botany21:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're assuming more knowledge on the issue on my part than I have. The user has been blocked three times. The last blocking admin said that if they "continue to vandalize Wikipedia, the account will be subject to a longer block." But, instead of subjecting them to a longer block, you actually gave them a shorter block. What I'm asking is why you did not give them a longer block for this additional vandalsim as the prior administrator said would happen, but rather gave them a shorter block? I have no idea what relevance there is to your being able to change something manually before or thereafter. All I see is they were told they would be given a longer block, not might be, but would be, and instead of giving them a longer block, you gave them a shorter block. KP Botany22:10, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please look in the future when you block after a request on AIV that says, "prior blocks." What did you think I was talking about when I said, "Why did you block for only 24 hours when the last block was for 72 ....?"[7] Well, I'm getting used to administrators not reading what I said, so no offense taken. I will stop looking at vandal edits, though, since most administrators seem to prefer vandals to regular editors who waste their time on crap like adding references to articles. KP Botany22:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe it was not reported on AIV. I'm fighting vandalism by myself and don't report vandals to AIV. And I don't think that it's needed to explain me how I should block somebody—it's not my first block. … I'm not able to find a mistake if you don't tell me which IP I've blocked—in your opinion—irregularly. Finally, I'm not a native speaker so that I maybe haven't seen your intention. —DerHexer(Talk)22:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why not ask then which IP I'm talking about, if I didn't say, instead of assuming anything? I reported the vandalism to AIV, and I assumed you blocked the user as a result of that report since it was blocked and the IP removed from AIV right away. Whether you're a native speaker or not your English is up to my first sentence which said "Why did you block for only 24 hours when the last block was for 72...." Answering the question I asked might have alleviated quite a bit of the confusion. Or even reading it, instead of just assuming I was making a routine complaint that you didn't have to even read. But again, I'm used to being ignored by en.wiki admins, in preference to giving leeway to vandals.
Maybe you're asking me a generic question—If you don't tell me what you want from me I'm not able to do something. I told you that my script has done it and I prefer a blocked vandal rather than an unblocked one. And I don't prefer IPs—that's a false accusation! I've blocked thousands of user, IPs and logged in ones, I don't prefer somebody. Btw, I'm talking to you since hours—why do you feel ignored? And, of course, I read your comments. Atm I feel offended! —DerHexer(Talk)22:52, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't a generic question, "Why did you block for only 24 hours when the last block was for 72 and ...." This is talking about a specific incident, namely, "the last block." When you don't answer the question asked, and treat it as a generic post, it's pretty straight-forward to assume it was ignored or not read. That's enough. The vandal's probably a 9-year-old kid, and this is way too much time. It would have been simpler to just answer the question I asked, though. KP Botany23:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you add a link if you want to show that it isn't a generic question? I'm blocking so much people on de:wp and en: that this might happend twice or thrice in a short time. If YOU want something from me, YOU have to ask me in a way that I'm able to HELP you. The last block(=previous block) is imo the block before my block and not my last block because I think that you don't know what I'm doing at the same time in other projects. But you have arrived it—I'm taking a wiki break because I don't accept it that you are allowed to infantilize and insult me without any excuses. —DerHexer(Talk)23:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't add a link because you answered every question I asked as if you knew which user I was talking about, and I didn't realize that I had not included the IP number. The questions I asked were pretty straight-forward, but your answers appeared as if you were just giving me a boiler plate answer to every question without even reading them. I asked questions. My questions were ignored, and given answers about some script you use. One of your supporters attacked me for asking you a question, saying that, "Why did you block for only 24 hours when the last block was for 72 and said ...." was a rude question. It wasn't. It isn't. And you still haven't resolved the issue of the user's block length. And, because you are the blocking admin another admin won't step in. You cannot "infantalize" someone else by asking them a question. You've done everything but address the issue at hand. I stand by my comments and will stop engaging you since it is clear you won't deal with the issue.
KP Botany23:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. That was very well done, and you accorded the appropriate amount of additional time in relation to the pettiness of my last few comments. I'm assuming, of course, that nanoseconds were not available. KP Botany23:50, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Heh. You just blocked IBM. :-) Look, I don't want to get you into any trouble, so can you or someone else review the block? A user just left a message on the talk page. Thanks again. —Viriditas | Talk16:14, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't matter what tag. Policy is definitely flexible on these matters, and db-author works just fine. Your pages have been deleted, per your request.

Looking for a way to contact you and can't seem to find one so this will work. As I told your friend that post has little to no relevance to the Rizon network. Specially seeing as it is an ex member. I really do not feel like setting up a program to register a few hundred accounts on here using proxies to remove the post over and over.

Why would I not stop? Probably because you didn't stop. Why did you not stop after one or two times? I was attempting to discuss it and was talking to another admin. Your the one who decided they owned wiki and could make any change as me and the other admin were talking. Now I am locked out to make changes. But I am debating on designing a program to take care of that. I ask you to remove it for what I said many times was irrelevance and explained why. We can sit arguing about this for quite sometime or we can come to a logical agreement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.247.231.105 (talk) 16:25, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful to see a concerned third-party. Merely one minute of time spent looking at the string of edits by unregistered users reveals the entrenched vandalism. In addition, when an admin reverts to a version, most inexperienced and novice users will fall victim to the argument from authority fallacy regarding its legitimacy. My point is that Wikipedians invested with extra authority should also be a bit more cautious and responsible. dfg18:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You gave me a vandalism warning at 24.85.246.143. I'm not sure which edit this was for but I can guess it had to do with a revert. I've been working on the solar power page lately. Recently I've been dealing with a IP address troll at 199.125.109.134. This guy has been reverting the lead paragraph and header pictures over and over again. He's also been harassing me directly which is a new to me on Wikipedia. His behavior is passive/aggressive, very frustrating and very time consuming. I think a comparison of edits on the page bears out my points. If I am in the wrong please tell me.24.85.246.14316:40, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
