Hello I am a newcomer to Wikipedia and now after an experiment, Me and my IP address have been autoblocked. Please Let me edit wikipedia again I will not let you down. I don't care if you watch my contributions carfully in fact, if I make any vandalism I will let you permanently let you kick me off go on with my buisness. <<unblock|I saw the image that said, you have been autoblocked, I was autoblocked by User:The Anome If you need I deleted the whole story because it was to long and sounded like a sympathy puller or whatever,here it is in a nut shell, I wanted to see how wikipedia deals with vandalism so i created User:Jade59 to do some little vandalism (I did not do any major vandalism such as cussing or blanking pages messing with info or vandalising userpages. The User:Jade59 user contributions page clearly shows what I did). I was surprised to see how well they handeled it and now I can't even edit or anyone using my IP, also my friend User:Oxford88 is also blocked and he detests vandalism so if you can let one person in let User:Oxford88 he loves Wikipedia.>> Please be kind and leave me a message about anything dealing with Wikipedia. Although I will most likly will not reply. I am not trying to be mean:-), it is just i don't have the time to reply to them and it will really save me time and the hassle. Hey before you leave me a message please write on of your favorite quotes on my quote page here User:Seadog.M.S/More Quotes that you can edit also but at first I didn't know how to make subpages so I just made an article under that name and, Only 5 minutes later I got a level 2 vandilism warning, but now I know what I did wrong. Have a nice day and remember to be bold when updating articles.-- Seadog.M.S 20:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thank you and have a nice weekend-- Seadog.M.S 19:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
The first time I put up the Unblock request it was replied to in like, 5 minutes. They told me to try again, by giving the reason they should let me back, I have and now it's been over an hour, what is going on.___I even tried the Help Desk but I couldn't even edit that please help by contacting an administrator to check out my Unblock request--thank you and have a nice day-------- Seadog.M.S 20:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Clearing an autoblock
Due to the nature of the block applied, we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details, there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:
-- Netsnipe ► 15:00, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
{{ helpme}} tags are not for unblock requests. Please wait for an admin to review your unblock request. If you need help with anything else, place another helpme tag on your user talk page. Thanks. J Di talk 20:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank You | This user is very thankful that he had so much help from many users such as User:Equendil and that the administrators set him free, this user also will never do the same mistake again, and this user realizes this boz is WAY to big. |
I have a question that I have been looking for the answer to but cant find it. How am I able to break my signature in parts such as Sea(to take me to my userpage) Dog(to take me to my talk page, and etc. If you don't find this question sutible for helpme than go ahead and and delete it
I understand that I am the most annoying wikipedian ever. But I have yet another question. How do I add colour to my text?
<span style="color:red;">this text is red</span>
. See
web colors for other examples. It's a
CSS thing. You can also use old HTML ('font color="blah"' in the same angle brackets), in most cases. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much for participating in my RfA, which closed successfully earlier today with a result of (60/9/4). Although, I encountered a few problems in my RfA, I have peacefully resolved my conflicts and made amends with the people involved.

Welcome, Seadog.M.S, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
Red links are links to articles that don't yet exist. If it's likely an article can be written about the subject it's best to leave it alone. If we already have an article about it at another title, you pipe the link. Duplicate links that occur in short succession of each other (in the same screen of an article) or ones where no article can be written that fulfills policy requirements should be deleted.
Wikipedia is a work in progress, an red links encourage people to write needed articles, so be careful about removing them. - Mgm| (talk) 21:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
You're welcome. In fact, I've been encouraged to be bold and made a revision to the opening paragraph. Cheers. JackofOz 20:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Generally, if people are using talk pages for completely non-Wikipedia related things, they're warned and, if they continue, subsequently blocked under WP:NOT. For instance: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#User_strangeness. If it's happening on your own talk page, just ignore it, tell the people to cut it out, blank their comments if they take it too far, and report it on the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents if it keeps going. I think that would be a fair procedure. -- Consumed Crustacean ( talk) 21:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and no problem correcting the link on your userpage. -- TheGreatLlama ( speak to the Llama!) 01:04, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
It's generally a bad idea, especially when those messages are warnings, because it can give the impression you're trying to hide those comments. Instead, I recommend you try Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page. - Mgm| (talk) 04:38, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
What worked for me was toggling the preferences between "raw signature" or not. If you use a raw signature, and include double brackets [[ ]] on either side, you should be able to make it work. I did find it pretty counterintuitive though -- I needed to have one window open where I fiddled around with my preferencse, while I experimented in my sandbox on the other. Good luck!

Well, since you already admire such famous democratic socialist writers as Upton Sinclair, George Orwell, and John Steinbeck, perhaps my job won't be so difficult! It's hard to know where to begin, since I don't know your political reference points; but the basic idea is that democracy is good in government, because it means that the people have an active voice in matters that affect them. In fact, democratic socialists are usually keen to make political democracy more people-friendly by increasing the opportunity for the public to participate directly in decision-making (compare
participatory budgeting in Brazil). By the same token, democracy is good in the economy. Under capitalism, the economy bascially answers to investors and shareholders. Their stake is bigger the more money they have, and the more they invest. Companies do what investors want. Whereas, the great majority of people, who have only small investments if they have any at all, must live with the consequences of corporate decisions that we can't affect. To break the cycle, you need to assert public control over what goes on in the economy – either directly, or else indirectly through vigorous regulation. If the public controls the economy directly, that either looks like a consumer co-op (like
Mountain Equipment Co-op), or like a worker-managed collective (like
Mondragón Cooperative Corporation), or like a state-run enterprise (like the
LCBO). We often extend this idea to include small businesses and family farms, which (as a practical matter) can't function without a pretty close relationship to their local communities. That's our basic premise, I'd say. To put it a different way, we refuse the logic of 'market societies' (where everything in society is subject to market impulses) in favour of one where both markets and government are put in service of society.

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 66/11/5. I learned quite a bit during the process, and I expect to be learning a lot more in the days ahead. I will be taking things slowly (and doing a lot of re-reading), but I hope you will let me know if there is anything I can do to improve in my new capacity. -- Merope Talk 13:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC) |
Thank you very much! It is currently my greatest goal to become an administrator. I plan to keep on editing as much as possible until someone nominates me. Thanks for your support (and thank you for accepting other religions - I'm Christian, but Wikipedia isn't the place for long conversations about beliefs). You are doing an exceptional job. I've loved working with you, and you're likely to become an admin in a few months if you keep it up. -- Gray Porpoise Phocoenidae, not Delphinidae 01:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
I see. Vandalism does not prevent you from ever becoming an administrator (though it may take longer to do so) if you remain a good-faith contributor. -- Gray Porpoise Phocoenidae, not Delphinidae 13:41, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
In response to your question: Willy on Wheels is an infamous vandal who moved pages to unusual new titles, usually the original title ending with "on wheels!" He was blocked, but has created hundreds of sockpuppet accounts so he can still edit. His WP:AIV subpage was deleted in an attempt to prevent honour of vandals. Unfortunately, that means that newer contributors will likely have no idea what's with the mentions of him. "Vandalism on Wheels" seems to be used to refer to page-move vandalism similar to that of Willy's. Thanks for asking, I'd love to answer any future questions! -- Gray Porpoise Phocoenidae, not Delphinidae 00:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes I share your concern, and I am currently working with other editors to shorten the article. The trick is to decide which parts to shorten, because everybody has their favorite parts. See Hinduism discussion page. Thanks for your comments. If you have any suggestions for which parts should be trimmed, let me know. HeBhagawan 12:52, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Excellent job on the Festivals section. It is good that it is short. Are you the one responsible for reformating the article to reduce the empty space at the top? If so, good job. I'll look over the other changes right now. HeBhagawan 12:59, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Slow down on your edits for a few minutes. The user who edited immediately before you is a person who usually makes extremely low-quality edits. His usual username is swadhyayee, but today he is editing under only his IP address. Give me a few minutes to go through and fix any bad edits he has made--I want to fix his bad edits without reversing any of the good work you are doing. I'll tell you when I have finished. Thanks! HeBhagawan 13:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
My name means "O Lord!" or "O God!" It can express either frustration or worship, as in English. However, in Hinduism there is no concept of taking the Lord's name in vain, since it is believed that no bad result could ever come from God's name. HeBhagawan 13:11, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
The edits you made are great. Removing the white space was a wonderful idea. Read the Hinduism discussion page (at the very bottom) to answer another question I have. HeBhagawan 13:17, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the kind words. I hope you will continue to make contributions to the Hinduism article. HeBhagawan 14:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Sure, you can add me if you like. 14:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Well it seems that there should at least be something on them. The section near the top called "The Vedas and Later Scriptures" is probably the most important one to keep, because it contains some ideas which also apply to the religion in general. The section called "The Vedas" (at the bottom) should, in my opinion, be deleted. And the Classification of Scriptures Section--well, I'm kind of sitting on the fence about that. HeBhagawan 23:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes I think it is starting to look pretty good. It might be close to featured status quality. Keep up the good work. One important thing to do is to monitor the page regularly for vandalism and sloppy and low-quality edits. If you don't catch them quickly, then it is hard to repair them without deleting any other good edits that others may have made at the same time. HeBhagawan 16:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Great job smoothing out some of the rough edges in the Hinduism article. Your high-quality edits and excellent collaborative skills have helped to make the article much better. Congratulations! HeBhagawan 21:46, 16 October 2006 (UTC) |
Yes it is important to monitor vandalism. It's also important to watch out for people who come in and just add some sloppy edits to an article without even reading the rest of the article to see whether what they say has already been said, or whether it fits in with the overall organization of the article. Such people may not be vandals exactly, but if their edits aren't monitored they can destroy a good article. The Hinduism article was having some problems with this last week, although the situation seems to have improved now. HeBhagawan 00:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Well I've agreed with almost all of your edits so far, but I'm not so sure about the recent one where you deleted the introductory sentences of the "Practices" section. I thought that that sentence was good becasue it summed up the purpose of the various practices. There are many other practices besides the ones listed in the article, and the sentence you deleted could explain the purpose of all of them. What do you think? HeBhagawan 00:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Ok I will try to help you nominate the article. First I have to figure out how. HeBhagawan 00:21, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the complement. I think I should do it now. 75pickup ( talk · contribs)
You are right about Brahmaa. There are only 1-3 temples in all of India dedicated to him. You can delete his name in the introduction if you like. It was put there by somebody else. HeBhagawan 22:30, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

In reply to a Help Desk question: the 3RR only applies if a user reverts the same page four times in 24 hours (despite the name), and then only if the reverts weren't of simple vandalism (it was intended to stop content disputes). Doing vandalism reverts on twelve different pages is absolutely fine, and in fact somewhat encouraged. If you need to revert the same page more than three times in 24 hours due to vandalism (not due to a content dispute) it can often be a good idea to post on AN/I to seek admin help (in cases of persistent vandalism the admins may be needed). -- ais523 15:36, 17 October 2006 ( U T C)
First of all, and this may not be relevant to your situation, 3RR applies to individual articles, so if you revert many times across several articles—as would be common to fix vandalism—that does not break 3RR. Note, however, that edit warring in general in content disputes is prohibited regardless of whether a user is within the numbers on 3RR, but reverting vandalism is not edit warring. Now, if it is one person or on one article, there is little point in reverting repeatedly, the solution is to get administrative attention to block the user or protect the page. — Centrx→ talk • 15:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me that. It seems that, however, Randfan (who also has some of the content of my userpage on his/hers) copied the stuff from my userpage to PotatoMan01, and the latter hasn't made any edits after the first time the former changed his userpage. This could mean that either Randfan likes editing userpage (as he/she has edited other userpages besides PotatoMan1), or, less likely, Randfan has a heck of a lot of sockpuppets. -- The Great Llama( speak to the Llama!) 18:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your work cleaning up after vandals. It is a great help to the project. I noticed you added the IP 66.193.128.97 to WP:AIV. I checked on this IP and saw it has vandalized only once since 12 Oct. It is possible this is another user with the same IP address. Except in the most severe cases of vandalism, it's best to report vandals at WP:AIV only if they have vandalized after being given a final warning such as {{ test3}}, {{ test4}}, or {{ bv}}. If you are not sure if they vandalized after the final warning, compare the time stamp on the warning to the time of the last bad edit on their contribs.
Please keep up the good work cleaning up vandalism, and don't hesitate to use WP:AIV for vandals that persist after being warned. Cheers! -- Ginkgo100 talk · e@ 20:57, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I initially wanted to avoid bringing a third party into this, but this user seems intent on vandalizing and adding POV to the progressivism page, and I may need some help in dealing with it. It is my suspicion that 69.208.199.103 may as well be a sockpuppet of User: Doctors without suspenders, but do not know how to pursue this. Thank you.-- Jackbirdsong 23:58, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Which vandalism were you talking about that you missed? I've been at it for about 6 hours so there's quite a bit, heh. -Srielity
Seadog, I was the user who removed Kennedy DUI paragraph (forgot to log in). I am very much not sure that a description of this is relevant to the article. It does not add anything new about Kennedy. It would be another thing if he were actually convicted, but the paragraph itself says that the alcohol test proved "negative." I would be happy to discuss this with you, but it seems to me that the paragraph does not belong. Levan 01:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Seadog, thank you for your reply. I took that paragraph out again, and in the future I guess I shouldn't take out chunks of text when I am not signed in...

Happy Diwali from BostonMA talk 13:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
My very best wishes to you and your family! Reading your userpage makes me think I'm a carbon-copy of you! I'm absolutely fascinated by the magnificent Gita. I also revere Christ, who in all honesty is the 10th avatara of Vishnu as far as I'm concerned. Rama's arrow 14:02, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
So we're even! I expect the vandal is not long for this world... Dina 15:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the greeting. I wish you and your family a happy Diwali as well! Nishkid 64 17:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Namasteji,
Hinduism can be seen as a very universal religion: the idea of Sanatan Dharm meaning eternal path, means that even if you aren't proclaimed as a Hindu, you are still a Hindu, traveling the Sanatan Dharm. So, I would say that you certainly may become a Hindu. The perception of you by others however, may vary. Some may be more conservative and say your mother must, at least, be Hindu or both your parents.
I feel that their basically irrelevant views may be overcome by what we Kashmiris call Yagnopavit, the thread-ceremony for Brahmins. I am not sure how a varna applies to "converts" in Hinduism, but I would imagine if one were to come into Hinduism as a sadhaka, a spiritual aspirant, then he is akin to a Brahmin. The Shaivism of Kashmir, known as Trika Shaivism, among other names, is specifically meant for all to learn and most importantly, practice, regardless of "color, caste or creed".
I would like to know how your desire to follow the Sanatan Dharm, as we expound it came about :) that is, if you would like to share it.
Namahsivaya!
Saiva suj 16:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Namaskar!
Far from offended, I was instead delighted, to receive your reply. Also, I can hardly consider your interest immature, instead profound and inspiring. My Lord Shiva bless you on your journey.
Namahsivaya,
Sujeet.

Hi, I recently saw a userpage that I think looks like what you are trying to set up. If you would like, I'll look for it, as it may help you setting up your own. Sincerely -- BostonMA talk 22:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I know it looks like vandalism but it really isn't. I'm a classics scholar and Catullus really is sometimes quite vulgar. I appreciate the un-reverting, sometimes it's certainly better to be too vigilant than not enough in fighting vandalism. Avraham 02:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
No problem, I may do some more Catullus edits in the future, especially on some poems taht haven't yet been translated, or old translations are being used. Is there a way to register in advance or something so I don't send the anti-vandalism people into a frenzy? If not, I guess they'll just do what you did, not the end of the world. Thanks Avraham 03:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, good point about writing VANDALISM; I guess that's exactly what I vandal would do, hunh? Thanks again. Avraham 03:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday. :-) Best regards.-- Hús ö nd 03:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I would like to know what is the policy for making these edits. Is it that a discussion has to go on until which status quo is maintained. Or I make a change and simultaneously start a "talk". Please clarify on this. Thanks.
Arjun, Is it true that HeBhagawan has gone with Sunita Williams for 6 months? Am sure you know Sunita. swadhyayee 10:39, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
I searched your entire page to see whether you are online but the light post has gone on Wikibreak. swadhyayee 13:11, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Anyway,

I am not seeing any status indicator even on talk page. swadhyayee 16:54, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for the support on my recent RfA. The final tally was 63/3/2, and I have now been entrusted with the mop. I'll be tentative with the new buttons for a while, and certainly welcome any and all feedback on how I might be able to use them to help the project.
