Grey Griffins: Lets get it to B

I dont know if you've ever read a book in the series but I REALLY REALLY want to get the Grey Griffins article to FA. But we have to take one step at atime. Do you have the time to help me raise the article to B grade?User:Kingrock 03:53, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no. Metros (talk) 03:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks anyway.User:Kingrock 04:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Even though you dont have time to help me I need a admins point of view, is the article NPOV, that it contains reliable refrences, focuses on the topicUser:Kingrock 14:04, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the AN/I thing on your talk page comments

Kudos to you. There was nothing wrong with your statement, and I both see where you were going with it and agree with it too. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 06:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotect article

I would like to request that the Sri Lankan civil war article be unprotected. The edit war between me and Watchdogb has been partialy resolved, we have decided to continue our edits of Wikipedia through discussion and to not start a brawl. Thank you. Top Gun

Enforcer removed

Per an e-mail request to unblock-en-l, the wikibreak enforcer has been removed. Happy editing, GDonato (talk) 20:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! :) Metros (talk) 20:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome Back

I hope your exams went well. I'd like to say that quite a bit happened to me. I have created a DYK, baseball uniform, and I have 2 other DYK's. Comments?--User:RyRy5 20:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You need to stop going around saying that you've had "2 other DYK's". Simply listing an article for DYK isn't really close to being on the level of actually writing it. You've had 1 DYK, and you nominated two other articles; there's a big difference. You also really, really need to stop asking people to look at your contributions, give their opinion on how you're doing, and go to your review. If people want to do it, they'll do it. You don't need to beg everyone to do that. You also don't need to tell every single person about your DYK's and your edit count. To quote the slogan: "Just do it." Let your actions speak for themselves and the commentary will arise out of that. Metros (talk) 20:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. So if others feel like doing something, they'll do it if they want to. I says something like that in WP:CANVASSING somewhere. -- User:RyRy5 20:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Metros, just wanted to welcome you back, how were the exams? King Rock ^{Go 'Skins!} 21:11, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Vampire Warrior

Hi. That unblock request is a bit strange; I think as the blocking admin you are most qualified to evaluate it. Best, Sandstein (talk) 23:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that one remains blocked, Vampire Warrior II (talk · contribs) should probably be blocked as well for block evasion. On the other hand, apart from generating needless drama (and no useful edits that I can see) there's not much to block this kid for. Sandstein (talk) 23:52, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked the alternate account and tagged it as a sock. I, personally, think the block should not be lifted, but, then again, I'd probably be a little biased to ask because I was the subject of this beauty. Metros (talk) 00:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yes, after seeing this I do concur that he probably should stay blocked. Sandstein (talk) 07:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The user blanked the page. It was vandalism. --RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 02:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no. The IP took out the significant unnecessary, unsourced text tacked onto the end of the article. Metros (talk) 02:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grey Griffins (book series)

Hey Metros i have nominated the page for GA. I have put the article under PR but I want more feedback but the article may be ready anyway. So can you review the page dude? King Rock ^{Go 'Skins!} 02:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no, sorry. Metros (talk) 02:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Block Request

I have a request that 72.66.94.86 should be blocked. He has already been given a final warning and then continued to vandalize pages. King Rock ^{Go 'Skins!} 01:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops

In both cases, it appears I mistook good-faith edits for vandalism. My apologies. --Sharkface^T/_C 03:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I respect your decision to remove my rollback rights, I ask that you do a more thorough review of my rollback usage. For example, there are several other prominent (and, if I may be so candid, more disastrous) examples of when I accidentally used rollback to undo good-faith edits that were not vandalism. For examples, see here and here. While these egregious errors are obviously apparent, I ask that you consider them in light over 2000 other times I used rollback successfully to combat vandalism. And while my mistakes will still stand as ugly blemishes on my vandal-fighting record, (and if I may be so audacious) I question as to whether I should lose the rollback tool for less than ten instances out of 2000 edits? For mistakes that occur less than 0.5% of the time? I humbly ask you to weigh my mistakes against my achievements and reconsider your decision. --Sharkface^T/_C 03:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback is a one and done thing. If you misuse it, it gets taken away. You misused it at least twice in the last two hours. Metros (talk) 03:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, my vandal fighting for the time being will not involve the use of rollback. --Sharkface^T/_C 03:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here are 4 other rollbacks of concern in your last 50 overall edits. That was a legit edition of a character/actor. It's questionable about whether this would qualify as a significant event or not, but that's for discussion, ot rollbacks. This appears to be unnecessary trivia. According to this, it actually looks like there is a album that you took out here. Metros (talk) 04:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will fully admit to being in fault for at least three of those edits (much to my consternation, I assure you). The Superbad edit especially reflects poorly upon me, as a quick check over at IMDB could have confirmed the existence of that character. Regarding y use of rollback for the anniversary of the Columbine massacre, I felt that, as there are currently no major plans in place for the 10th Anniversary of the event, the anniversary wasn't particularly notable. As such, I went ahead and removed the addition. While anniversaries can and do appear in pages regarding years, usually they are accompanied by some sort of explanation as to why that date is significant. For example, the February 2009 planned celebration for the 200th anniversary of Darwin Day includes a bit about how the National History Museum in London will commemorate the event. Not to downplay the scope and significance of the Columbine tragedy, but unless there will be the opening of a significant monument on the 10th anniversary, I'm not sure why it's on that list. And while I understand that rollback is to be used for primarily vandalism, I felt that the anniversary blurb was nonproductive enough to merit the use rollback, in accordance with WP:ROLLBACK. Again, apologies for the mistakes. --Sharkface^T/_C 04:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

American idol

I am requesting that American Idol be semi-protected if you look in the history section you will understand my request. King Rock ^{Go 'Skins!} 02:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you pick out RyRy5? And I don't need a reason. S. T. H. 00:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because he joined it just before you. And no, you don't need a reason, but to add "I have no idea what this is" when joining a list is really, really pointless. Metros (talk) 00:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio of San Jacinto College

It seems the article's history section is a copyvio of the home website. I will provide more evidence shortly.--RyRy5 (talk) 04:29, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be somewhere around this website. I can't search thouroughy at this moment. You should probably check Google also. Like I said, I can't do it myself at this moment.--RyRy5 (talk) 04:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the reversion of vandalism on my userpage. Much appreciated ——Ryan | t • c 16:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I didn't think you were a "fart"... Metros (talk) 16:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought BoL and I were topic banned...?

Help me figure this out. How can I go and edit my userspace, and then BoL edits ACC without getting blocked? I'm confused. And I don't mean to rat on BoL, but still...--Gp75motorsports ^{REV LIMITER} 18:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I swear Metros, like moths to the candle, you are just a magnet for this sort of thing. How do you manage it? ➪HiDrNick! 18:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, I apologize. It's not fair that you edited user spaces and Wikipedia spaces without getting blocked. Because of that, I have blocked you for one month.
