User talk:J.delanoy

If you leave a message here, I will reply on this page, so be sure to add this page to your watchlist. If I initiate a thread on your talk page, and you reply here, I will reply on your talk page, and possibly here as well, if the conversation gets long.

My wheel-warring policy:

Admins: If you see me make a logged action that you think I should not have done, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo it without asking for my permission. However, if I marked the action as being done after running a checkuser query, or as part of a sockpuppet investigation, you should ask me or another checkuser before undoing it. In any case, if you do revert one of my actions, I would appreciate it if you tell me that you did so. Thanks!

Can you help?

I want to block your account but I don't know how to do it. Can you help me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.84.60 (talk) 09:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can't, because you're not an administrator. And no, I won't make you an administrator. Goodbye. --Deskana, Champion of the Frozen Wastes 09:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Even if I could make you an administrator (which I can't), why on earth would I tell you how to block me? If I wanted to be blocked, I would just block myself. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 14:10, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you block yourself, can you unblock yourself? Sorry, this is taking a turn for the meta. tedder (talk) 15:09, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can. And if he was an admin and he blocked me, I could also unblock myself. So the end result is the same. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 15:11, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

user:79.132.31.212

Hello, i notice by your recent comments to user:79.132.31.212 ‎that you seem to have the same probles with him or her making changes to article that they think are correct. Is there anyway you can warn or block this person from adding their own P.O.V's to the articles?

Regards

msa1701 (talk) 14:15, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I warned them a month ago, and since most IPs are dynamic, I doubt it's the same person. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 14:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done on your comments to the anonymous user listed above - Hopefully they will have the guts to register a user name and defend their actions!!!

Or maybe not.....

Many thanks

H1N1 Virus

Vandle struck again (2nd-3rd time i think...) Im not very good at posting warnings so i'll let you take care of it and ill keep watch ANOMALY-117 (talk) 19:56, 1 May 2009 (UTC)ing the site[reply]

User: Jurgen11

Ok so sorry, yes it was wrong for me to vandalise, but i just spent over 1 hour editing a page correctly until to find that 2minutes later another member, not you, had reverted it back, yet it isnt an administrator, i wrote more information and didnt delete anything, and it was all correct but the deleters reason was because it didnt look good! i just wrote the best information on a pokemon !! yes thats right...1 hour on 1 pokemon! and it was amazing! but now its lost forever ! :( PS: sorry for the vandalism, it was merely an act of anger and will never happen again, its just a waste of time! and i have never done it before..

I am sorry for reverting it, but as I said on your talkpage, the Pokemon in the lists shouldn't look like that. If you want to make a better Arceus article you can do so on your Userspace. But, be warned it might take more then 1 hour to make it up to par where it will become a real article. Look on your talkpage under "Arceus--Blake (talk) 22:58, 1 May 2009 (UTC)"[reply]

No problem! J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 23:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hello i need your assistance - at my wit's end kinda

hello, Someone at some point created a page about me and I am wanting to take it down. There have been MANY untruths for one.

That alone is the biggest reason I would like to take it down.

Is there anything you can do to assist? When I have tried to edit it reverts...I tried multiple times.

I appreciate ANY assistance, thank you, Lightsunfold (talk) 01:14, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because J.delanoy himself doesn't respond to the above message, I have replied to it. Help from someone with more knowledge of the Butthole Surfers is appreciated. Cheers, theFace 14:07, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice chess game; I copied it to a subpage of my own. BTW, it's your move. MC10 | Sign here! 18:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're invited...

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, establish a membership process for the chapter, review the upcoming Wiki-Conference New York 2009 (planned for ~100 people at NYU this summer) and future projects like Wikipedia at the Library, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the March meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list.

passive income page

hello :), I resently edited passive income 2 times to no avail, I was trying to remove the fairly irrelevant external link, which was clearly spam and replace it with something constructive, I completely agree with the first revert, so I picked something very relevant for the second. did you actually follow the link, or did you assume I was vandalizing? as think the content is relevant. --Pure ev1l (talk) 23:07, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DougsTech's rollback privileges

Over the past few hours, several editors have warned DougsTech about his "mistakes" while using rollback with Huggle, and he continues to make those "mistakes". I think it may be time to revoke DougsTech's rollback privileges until he can learn to use them properly. What do you think? This is just a friendly suggestion by the way. :) Tim meh ! 02:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't we have enough rollbackers already? (just sayin'). tedder (talk) 02:50, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like to do things like that to people without giving them a "formal" last warning. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 02:59, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to edit the article on Cottonwood Alabama.I work for the Town of Cottonwood ,and feel the article about the police chief is pure slander by someone out for revenge.

Rollback

Good day, I wonder if you would be so kind as to grant me rollback permission (I just looked for an admin I knew on the list of those willing to grant it!). Many thanks, HJMitchell You rang? 01:34, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

J. Delanoy, there has been vandalism on the Lost Tapes Page, many of it is offensive and inappropriate. Could You please revert it? --Boy of The Waters (talk) 17:20, 5 May 2009 (UTC) Wait, I've Got it, just could you block the vandals?--Boy of The Waters (talk) 17:28, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

annexed/recovered

Well, I was going to suggest that you and Yeafvnl talk about the Recovered territories on its talk page, but apparently there's some sockpuppet dispute that may have to take place first. Anyway, the question will remain open on those pages. See you there. Banaticus (talk) 22:30, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeafvnl is a sock of User:Serafin, otherwise known as the Copernicus vandal. You can safely revert anything he tries to change. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 22:48, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chess

Hello J. delanoy. I am very interested in your chess board and actually tried to pinch it. When I copied and pasted it to my own page I couldn't change it to my own name, so I am very cheekily asking you if it is possible and if you could tell me how to go about it. PS, I learned to play chess when I was four years old and even taught a future champion. The downside is, I think that four year old boy could probably beat his older self. :( Cheers. Jack forbes (talk) 22:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your edit on Catholic sex abuse cases.

I think it is a grammar & word choice issue--the accused priests may be sexually deviant, but they may have committed abuse. I thought there might be an issue because being deviant is less objectionable that actually committing abuse against children, so I deliberately did not make it a minor edit. If you disagree, lets discuss it on the talk page. One of the biggest problems in discussing loaded issues like this is sloppy language--"What is this person really saying?"

Vandalism warnings

Hi. I am monitoring the Leaning Tower of Pisa article, you have meen recently. A fair lot of vandalism happens there, as you see, and I'm not sure whether to ask for semi-protection again. Anyway.

I see that you put warnings into a vandal's user page. Can only administrators do that? Can I too, if I happen to revert blatant vandalism? Is there a central information page for this kind of interventions and/or a standard way to ask admins for blocking a repeating vandal?

Thank you :-) --Andylong (talk) 17:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
