The stated reason in the block log for this block is "obvious". What is obvious? The user has not violated any policy.

Actually, he has -- the second reason under WP:U. That account was just an attack account against Curps, who has dozens of them every day since he's a hardcore vandal blocker. Karmafist 13:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For your kind support of my Rfa, which passed. Thanks also for your kind comments. If you should ever have any complaints about my admin actions, please let me know. Also, should you ever need my help with anything, please do not hesitate to ask! Thanks again! All the best Banez 17:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do I want to know what it means, or should I just get rid of it? --GraemeL ^(talk) 19:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have spoken to Cenestrad The Emperor Of Wikipedia several times as you will see on my talk page, but Im not sure what exactly you are referring to. Im afraid I have been esspecailly spread out lately, and Im not sure whee we heard from each other. Was I referring to something the Emperor of wikipedia had said to me, or was I addressing you in such a way. If I did something to be offensive, as always I appologize, but I have to admit Im at a bit of a loss here as your comment on my userpage wasnt very specific. thanks for your time/comments pickelbarrel the giant ASSHOLE 23:48, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Having expressed strong opposition to my first nomination you may wish to comment on my second.

愚かな同性愛者である。--Houben 09:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Translates to "It is the foolish homosexual person." making Houben blockable if he/she/it isnt already. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 00:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh already blocked... And machine translation is too good hence the person used machine translation and knows nothing about how to use kanji. :P --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 00:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot to sign. Your remarks are eloquent and would look better with a proper signature, so I didn't stick an {{unsigned}} in there. Thanks. Chick Bowen 16:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So have you quit using IRC altogether then? — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 17:22, Feb. 2, 2006

I just read it and thought was really funny (esp. the unwritten rules). The Boot Camp (WP:BC) is trying to setup a nice gentle welcome for newbies and we are testing and evaluating the {{helpme}} template which a user can put on his page and we'll go look for them and try to help them. Would you mind adding it to your welcome message? Dr Debug (Talk) 18:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thank you much for your welcome, i just started editing approximately a month ago but i decided the Warhammer Fantasy stuff needed sopme revamping, so at the moment im trying to categorize everything. i could use some tips on getting other people to help, however, most of the people i have asked personally seem disinerested in wikipedia. i also want to expand on the stubs and add a lot of info as well as updates.

--XenoNeon (converse) 20:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I share your pain.

/me huggles.

IRC is a pain in the ass most of the time. #wikipedia is basicaly a troll heaven. In fact people who request ban on trolls/vandals are banned. I just hope empathy will make you feel better. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 23:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you like, I can recomend an IRC channel where idiots (aside from myself) are booted w/o hesitation. that'd be the #wikipedia-en-vandalism also vandalism detection bot runs there as well. :) --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 23:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

some of the userboxes you use are rather OLD. See my userpage if you really care :) --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 00:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Town_meeting.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 02:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User: Pickelbarrel asked me to come & talk to you as he thinks that you are about to block him because of something he said in regard to me. If it was an insult I forgive his rashness because he is very energetic. If you thought he was being silly by mentioning the emperor of wikipidea he was not. I am the Emperor he is refering to. I wield this authority by divine right for the protection common good and, if you have not heard of me, it is because I am not for all people. Some just can't stomache the thought of an Emperor. If the thought of him refering to me as Emperor bothers you than please feel free to ignore it. If you can not I suggest you block yourself for a couple of days. This I order for the common good. --Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 03:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Karmafist, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Wikipedia may persuade you to reconsider your position from neutral. All the best, Proto t c 10:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip, if i'm on IRC anytime soon, i'll head into that channel. I have a question for you, but i'll wait a bit. I need advice from outside Wikipedia on it first. Karmafist 12:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok :). If its a "private" issue you can always email. :) --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 12:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll apologize to him - after all, it was late and I was a bit cranky, so I overreacted. However, he is being somewhat... objectionable, I think you'll agree.

And reducing his block to a day or so, that's fine. DS 13:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Got your message after posting at WP:AN/I. Our last conversation had left me with the unfortunate impression that you weren't interested in discussing the matter with me. So, first of all, I'd like to apologize -- clearly further discussion with you was an option, and it was ungenerous of me to assume otherwise.

I don't really see this issue as being part of the "userbox wars". I am really fairly uninterested in the whole userbox debate, excepting only the ones that are designed to make other editors feel unwelcome. Instead I see this as part of the larger question about what our relationship to unfree-licensed images should be. Are we building a radically free encyclopedia, or are we decorating our userspace with other people's property? I have a lot of sympathy for User:SlimVirgin and that whole image mess, which was handled terribly. Clear violations, however, only make people quicker to be aggressive about the whole issue, leading to frustration for all parties when it comes to corner cases such as Iranian copyright status. I wish that you would stop encouraging people to use unfree-copyrighted material in their userspace. I promise you that if Wikimedia's stance on this issue changes that I would be content to let the matter rest, regardless of my personal leanings on the issue. Jkelly 22:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would strongly advise you to cease, unless you want to be blocked for a bit, and asked to go and sit on the naughty step.

Relax, mate. Nothing bad is going to happen tonight. Give it a rest.

Seems that he's asserted that he won't violate the 3RR... why would he be blocked? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring? Adding unfree images to the userspace in direct violation of policy? Really, an admin should know better. If he does it again and I'm the one to catch it, I'm blocking him, no ifs ands or buts about it. And remember, the 3RR is an electric fence, not an entitlement. —BorgHunter ^ubx (talk) 04:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
