You marked me as the vandal but then removed that. Please block 209.136.11.40 that's the IP of the school they used to be blocked for the same reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.238.171.131 (talk) 15:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A little award
The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
Awarded to KnowledgeOfSelf for reverting vandalism to my userpage...again. I seem to have become a magnet for uncivilness lately, so keep up the good work! NF24(radio me!)23:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding my crashing wikipedia repeatedly for 10 minutes, an event you aptly referred-to as the MJ-thingy, you probably have no idea how sick I felt... I could have vomited.... thankfully Ryan Postlethwaite came to my rescue and summoned a developer with magic pixie dust. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement.

This anonymous user was given an 'only warning' by me for vandalism of Ruth Kelly. I reported him/her when they continued to vandalise the page. He/she blanked the talk page to remove the warning. Cheers, Xdenizen (talk) 05:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Pre Deletion Trama
I am working on an essay at User talk:Pharmboy/PDT and asking input from a couple of editors and admins whom I most trust. I see a lot of tension in AFD/Speedy from new users who jump into writting new articles, and even find myself BITEing the newcomers from time to time, and think an essay like this will actually improve Wikipedia by reducing tensions and helping educate the newcomers who are adding articles. If you feel the essay is worthwhile, please feel free to edit it, as it is still rough. If you feel it is not worthwhile or better covered by an existing article, please leave a note to that effect on my regular user talk:Pharmboy talk page. You are also free to ignore this request and I won't have any hard feelings. Pharmboy (talk) 16:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I received a warning for some Flying Spaghetti Monster thing, and I have no idea what a Flying Spaghetti Monster even is, and I never made any kind of contribution to the Flying Spaghetti Monster page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.71.168 (talk • contribs)
Thanks for the really fast action on that guy "Wikiscrewer" obviously a vandalism only account, he got my userpage, as well as someone elses. Glad to see that you are always on the prowl. Cryptk(talk)16:38, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to report this to AiV but whenever I do that I always run across a "puppies n duckies n bunnies" admin who doesn't handle it with any teeth. So I thought I would report whine directly to you. Check out the lyric links from Piotr127 (talk·contribs). Seems to think every music article should have a link to a lyric site... which I think violates WP:EL where it says "don't knowing link to an external website that has copyvio content". Am I right? I think I am I always am :D 156.34.212.152 (talk) 21:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ooo. Yes you are, and I've reverted the edits with the offending links, I also went to far and reverted some ok edits. I think I fixed what I messed up. :/ I've given the user a message as well. Thanks Libs. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk21:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Knowledge, would you please check out the vandalism war going on here now. Several vandals hard at work simultaneously. Thanks, JNW (talk) 15:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, his comment seemed rather trollish, hence the revert, good luck with explaining it to him. Some people just don't want to listen. Tis a real shame. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk10:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The above message was left on my talk page... but you're the one who reverted their "legit nicknames" :-D - And, yeah... do what he says: "keep your hands off of his school's wiki" ...or else! I don't know what else... but I'm sure it's something bad... like maybe another message... or... something... I don't know... :-D Take care! ScarianCall me Pat11:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you you intervene an issue? IP 200.116.128.56 (talk·contribs) is now 8RR over the last few days on the Motley Crue page. User:Funeral, myself and other have used clear edit summaries to restore an already discussed topic... Mr 200 doesn't seem to know English (based on his one talk blurb I am not sure if he'd understand and lengthy explanations. I don't feel like shading 3RR just to correct him. I'm lazy and surly :D Can you peak in? Thanks and have a nice day! 156.34.142.110 (talk) 17:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted, he reverted back, 9 reverts in one day, I already submitted for vandalism via 3rr as non-admin, we will see what happens. Pharmboy (talk) 17:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It appears as though the 'RR' ip is swapping addresses to keep his opinions ongoing. rotten anonymous IPs!... none of them can be trusted... Wiki should be a registration only project! :D . 156.34.142.110 (talk) 19:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, the anons who've been at Luna's talk page have started in on my talk page; could you protect it, or at least watch it? User page, too if the the semi has expired. Thanks, Jack Merridew16:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Steve, could you shoot me an e-mail when you have a moment? I'm out the door in a minute, but I'll get back to you later. Talk to ya! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please undo your indef-block for vandalism. I wouldn't call this account's edits to Mockingbird vandalism at all. It would be an appropriate response if xe were replacing the page with "gay" or something similar, but this just looks like a misguided attempt to add content, and seems like a very WP:BITEy block to me. Regards, shoy16:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I happen to disagree, he was reverted and warned not to do that, he repeatedly undid the reverted vandalism, he was warned from test 2-4, and then blocked. If you want you can ask an other admin to examine the block and if they agree I won't object. But vandalism is vandalism. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk16:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't as funny, because it wasn't original (I saw someone else do it, mm, maybe in mid-November... I don't know a way to search the database for edit summaries). Antandrus (talk)05:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
lol, they have both been enshrined. I thank you for helping to contribute to the funniest user subpage on the wiki. (I hope it will be one day anyway.) As always keep them coming, I'll make em hip. ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk00:29, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Reverting
Hi there, can you help me ... I don't suppose there is any easy way to undo all the edits by a particular editor. For example if all their edits are adding link spam? I think I know the answer is no, but you might know more than me! Thanks. MSGJ (talk) 21:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I unblocked this one at the request of User:NERIC-Security, which oversees the network in question, since they have better tools in place to track down and identify the vandal in question. Just letting you know ... this has been a long term problem but we and they are making progress. Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All I did was remove the technique section which other registered members themselves are removing, and putting the variations section before the Healing section, the way it was before, wanna call someones attention? Talk to the person who insists in putting the technique section. Take a closer look next time. 201.37.60.119 (talk) 13:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When you make a major change like that, coupled with the removal of sourced context, you will be reverted, especially without the use of an edit summary. Provide a valid reason as your e.s. and you are less likely to be reverted or confused with a vandal. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk00:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Award
The Hard-to-Swallow Award
Sometimes, things go astray on Wikipedia and our faith in the project may go astray as well. Frustration is really hard to swallow, but hopefully this award will make it easier. Thank you for standing for what you believe. Your attitude is so much stronger than frustration. Keep it up! Best regards, Húsönd17:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I'm alright my tantrum has passed, and my voice heard, though it didn't mean much. I'm just really busy with work. I'm around and doing peachy. ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk23:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reverting my talk page and extending the block on that IP. Unfortunately, he will probably be back with another IP. Don't be too surprised if you now get caught up in his "you're all the same people" theory. Oh. =\ -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for voting in my RfA, which I withdrew with 5 support, 14 oppose, and 9 neutral. Thank you for your comments! Whether it was a support, oppose, or neutral, I likely got some good feedback from you. I will probably do another RfA in the future, but not until I work out the issues brought up.
Mmm, I didn't vote I simply commented. As an aside, it is rather curious that your signature left the date "January 12", when in reality you left this message on the 14th. Very odd. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk00:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
An anti-anon editor has ruined my day and attacked my Static IP talk page. Could you make me feel better by granting me non-admin rollback capabilities :D . Just kidding. :D . Have a nice day! 156.34.142.110 (talk) 13:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
lol. Mmm you'd be hard pressed to get it from me even if you were a "named" user Libs. I was/am opposed to non-admins having that bit. Alas my voice was a like a small woman screaming "fuck me", while the complete disrespect shown consensus was a large man screaming "NO fuck you!" Though truth be told, you are one of the few who in my eyes are not only in need of, but are deserving of that tool. Good days to you Mr. Anon! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk23:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Your opinion
This edit (read the edit summary carefully) is Libs pushing the limits of WP:BOLD and exposing Libsy's "plus grande nads" to all Wiki and seeing just how long it takes a logo crufter to rv the edit. I believe, based on both the policy and the long overdue discussion on it... that the edit is a valid one. Wikipedia, by it's own mandate, is to be a free encyclopedia promoting free-use content when/wherever possible. You just cannot get any more free-use than plain text. Most bands copyright their logos and therefore using them requires well worded fair-use rationale. And if free-use always wins out over fair-use... I think my edit summary is noble, just and true. Time will tell. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Do you have a third opinion. I would be most interested in finding out. And I invite you to go ahead and invite anyone you wish into the conversation. Perhaps the discussion can be moved to my static IP page where it can be an informal chat... rather than a discussion... leading to consensus... leading to guidelines... leading to policies... and all that other Wiki-crap :D . Does free-use always win? I think Wikipedia was built on the foundation of "free-use". What are your thoughts? 156.34.225.75 (talk) 01:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, firstly I must say I'm surprised it's still there perhaps there is hope yet! ;) The edit is perfectly valid, but I suspect someone may oppose/discuss/revert it sooner or later. I think that free content is 100% preferable compared to fair use, though fair use when used properly does no harm. Most copyright laws relating to images confuse the hell out of me, as evidenced by my scant 7 or 8 uploads, (Most of which were for personal use, or were deleted.) I think I have about 3 images that I've uploaded in article space. :P If you really seek a third opinion or the opinions of people who know more about this than I, you could try posting this at AN. Surely someone would offer a golden nugget of either wisdom, or complete stupidity. Cheers Mr. Anon. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk00:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This guy is becoming a real troll. Typical POV genre vandal. Picks on the bands he deosn't like. A real nuisance. Also edits under a 77.99 IP sock. Needs a good lump. :D . Have a nice day! 156.34.213.216 (talk) 21:05, 19 January 2008

Wow, what's going on buddy? You're a great admin, and I really hope you reconsider. If not, then I really wish you all the best in the future (but please take the first option). Ryan Postlethwaite02:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cya, man. You kept me occupied for the last few weeks. If you ever think, "maybe I should justify mark's edit as vandalism," then, feel free to come back. Good day to you.
I would like to type the same word that Alf did... but due to my staunch anon-ness... if I did... Cluebot would revert me. So I'll just say ditto"Libs"156.34.221.194 (talk) 11:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Farewell my friend ... ah yes, "time to move on." I do know what you mean. And your userpage message does indeed show "knowledge of self". Very best wishes, Antandrus (talk)23:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's a time to move on and also a time to come back. Hopefully you'll eventually get around to the latter. Either way, many thanks for your work Steve and adieu! (for now) :D Spellcast (talk) 09:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm so saddened to hear of your departure, my dear friend. I do understand and respect that there comes a time when people move on to other areas, but of course, selfishly, I wish this were never the case with you. I will miss you greatly, as I'm sure many others will, as well. I wish you all the very best in the next project you take on, and I'm sure you'll improve it as you did Wikipedia, for the many years you were here. Please feel free to email me at any time if you'd like to keep in touch. ~*Ariel Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold00:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can't believe what my eyes are reading to the point where I greatly wish they are deceiving me. I, like many other editors, will miss you and wish that someday you might return. For now, I guess, it's farewell, good luck and best wishes. AngelOfSadness talk 00:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks everyone I appreciate the support and sentiments left to me on this page and through email, and I apologize for not directly responding until now. I *haven't* completely left Wikipedia. Truth be told I'm really busy in real life, which is the main reason behind my abrupt "departure." It is not burnout or anything negative. (Though, I don't miss the trolling and vandalism!)
It was simply my time to move on and focus on more pressing matters in my life. I may be "back" one day I may not. Who can say at this point in time? But as of right now, I am not back and I do not foresee coming back in the immediate future.
I do want to say that I'm still around as an anon using the wiki as a resource. And there is nothing to be sad about at all! :)
Even though you might not read this I want to thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page (although I haven't updated it in a while). It was nice of you and I appreciate it. -Vcelloho (talk) 03:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure this article was a candidate for speedy deletion. CSD A7 "applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on." The article was about an upcoming software application (specifically, an MMORPG) under active development, not the website or organization announcing it.
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Wakfu. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 07:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry if this is not up to wiki protocol, I hardly make edits, but you accused my IP of vandalizing the article 'Shoe'. I'm 100% certain I've never been to that article before. I am not a vandalizer, nor do I ever plan to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antictzn113 (talk • contribs) 04:15, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
