I just saw you in the recent changes, and I had to stop by to tell you: great name! Best... episode... ever. – ClockworkSoul 08:14, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to echo clockwork's comment :) Raul654 08:35, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Funniest user name I've ever seen. Cool page, too. --Viriditas 09:59, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! I literally laughed out loud when your username showed up on my watchlist. Jayjg ^(talk) 20:50, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome from me too! Thanks a lot for taking care of Peter Crouch. -Aabha (talk) 14:39, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Been smiling at your username for some time now, I could not resist the temptation to replace a misplaced message on your userpage with something better, hope you're ok with that :) Alf ^melmac 10:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Since when is it Vandalism to simply add an image of Jesus to the Jesus page? You banned user: 24.6.35.54 for absolutely no reason. If the page was vandalized it was done before she added the image of Jesus. I think your letting your administrative powers carry you away .... Please read the page on Vandalism...adding a picture of Jesus to the Jesus page is NOT Vandalism.

Edit Summaries

Indeed, welcome! I noticed you've been making alot of useful edits recently, so kudos for that. I also thought you might be interested to read about edit summaries. Particularly when you're reverting or removing vandalism, even a short summary like "rvv" (for ReVerting Vandalism) can be useful for other editors looking at the article's history. And of course, I loved the name too! Cheers. --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 05:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for reverting all those rubbish edits by 144.132.202.245. Have you thought of warning them not to vandalize? Judging by their contribution page they could probably be blocked by an admin, but they need to be warned first, see vandalism. Cheers again Blarneytherinosaur 23:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reverts, but it does make it faster for other revert chasers to run the list quickly if you use an edit summary even something simple like (rvv) or (rv blanking) (rv POV) would be great. Thanks again! xaosflux ^T/_C 06:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cute name

I think I remember seeing the phrase on a badge worn by a female friend heh.. --Chaosfeary 18:04, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing the work of that troll. Have you tried any actions against it?--Hraefen 21:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

LOL at your Username. Hey I've that feeling myself. Also good contributions on VfD. Herostratus 08:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Exceptional newcomer!

I've seen your name come up in RC many times lately, and it's every time it's associated with good edits. For your dedication and eye for detail beyond your experience, I hereby award you this shiny new Exceptional Newcomer Award. Congrats! – Clockwork Soul 07:22, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yup I'd echo Clockworksoul on that one, nice to have you around. Alf ^melmac 09:14, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Er...

Your username just made me laugh. A lot. · Katefan0^(scribble)/my ridiculous poll 06:06, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That's the best username I've seen yet :-) Dan100 (Talk) 09:06, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bill O'Reilly

You seem to be a great editor, but I don't understand your recent handling of the O'Reilly section. We've been having it out on the talk page about the sprawling mess this article has become, and how it unnecessarily documents every single confrontation the man has on his Fox news program. Worse, it's filled with sentences (occassionaly entire paragraphs) that don't at all conform to Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view policy.

I went ahead and deleted some of the worst offenders, and you reverted every single one. You didn't even perform any rewrites, if indeed the subject matter involved was worthy of inclusion. I would invite you to join us on the talk page, because this article is turning into a Bill O'Reilly blog rather than an encyclopedia article. -- Plastic Editor

I agree that certain areas of the article are unbalanced, so I will take a look at the discussion happening there. The reason for the initial revert was that I was concerned that too much data was being outright deleted, leaving nothing for future visitors to rewrite and tone down. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 05:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Raymond Washington

I hope this is the right place to reply to your question. My source about Washington's death was the following AP article: http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/montereyherald/news/13325956.htm it also notes that the murder is still unsolved. cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.7.27.6 (talk • contribs) 20:03, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That is perfect, I've added your Monterey County Herald article as reference for the Washington bio. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Australian rules football

Hi, I've seen your recent work on Tony Liberatore and I invite you to check out WikiProject AFL to help expand our database of AFL information.Rogerthat 02:51, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm an admin now!!

Thanks a ton for your support on my rfa, the final tally was 50-0-0; I'll try and live up to the expectations of others and do my best in maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia. Do let me know if I can be of any help. Can't sleep, vandals will beat me! (sorry, just couldn't resist that) --Gurubrahma 14:50, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

way to revert! ;]

heh, you keep beating me to it! ;] Love the uname btw, but I'm a huge simpsons fan! ;] Was wondering, do you ever come on IRC? We've got a great tool there for fighting and finding vandalism ;] Great work, keep it up! ;] --негіднийлють ^{(Reply|Spam Me!*|RfS)} 09:07, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bobcakes

Greetings. Would you please warn a user at least once before listing them on WP:AIV? Bobcakes (talk • contribs) appears to have stopped without a warning: he would probably have stopped even sooner with one. WP:AIV is, I think, for instances where the vandalism continues even after a {{test4}} or similar. Keep up the good work on RC patrol! --RobertG ♬ talk 09:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies - he stopped because he was blocked as a troll, didn't he?! Please ignore the above (except the bit about your good work). Best regards. --RobertG ♬ talk 09:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

userpage image

I have removed the image from your user page since fair use only applies to using images on articles and even then only on certain articles so using it on a userpage would be a copyvio. Jtkiefer^{T | C | @} ---- 22:51, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Hi there, thanks for your support on my RfA. The final count was 46/0/0. I hope I'll live up to your faith in me in my use of the mop and bucket. Please accept this wikithanks as a token of my gratitude ;) --bainer (talk) 01:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My failed RFA :)

Dear Can't sleep, clown will eat me,

I would like to thank you for supporting me on my RfA. Even though it failed with a with the final tally of 55/22/6, I want to thank you anyways. I don't want to be one a admin anymore until I reach 10,000 edits now that it's over with. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

211.37.41.196

Hi. Just to let you know user 211.37.41.196 constantly reverts information concerning "Korea University" for no apparent reason. The article needs to be cleaned up, so a clean up tag was placed however that user would just revert it back. (Also he/she maintains strong POV against rival Korean Universities) Thanks YCCHAN 05:44, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks YCCHAN, I'll add the page to my watchlist and 211.37.41.196 to my blacklist as well. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 18:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Impersonator

I've just blocked User:Can't sIeep, cIown will eat me indefinitely for impersonating you. I can't immediately spot which 'l' in the name has been changed into an 'I' but you might want to do an edit test to make sure you're not affected. David | Talk 21:57, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to know that since you reverted vandalism to Britney Spears the vandal appears to be have now created an account to pretend to be you (with l (small L) replaced by I (capital i)). See Can't sIeep, cIown will eat me --PTSE 22:02, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Opps David posted whilst I was typing. --PTSE 22:03, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

here's a tip for you both, I noticed this (by the way found this page through looking at Dbiv edit history :) still waiting for a reply on that ban evading >_<): look at

User talk:Can't_sIeep, cIown will eat me (impersonator)
User talk:Can't sleep, clown will eat me (this page, real one)

pages in two windows - you will notice that the two lowercase L's changed to I's have a bigger gap between the other letters than with the real L's :) just discovered this quite simple really and should work for any people using that trick to pretend to be other users with L in their name --Red-skinned femme-fatale black-latex-clad b-tch from Hell 22:05, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When pasting the account name in edit mode, I can see that both L's were replaced with upper-case I's. Thank you for blocking the impostor, it is a shame that some people feel the need to stoop to such levels. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 06:04, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on your first doppelganger. I've had at least 5 of my own. Ugh. – Clockwork Soul 04:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Many thanks for your support during my RfA – following a 30/0/0 vote I’ve now been made an admin. Do have a Jaffa Cake! Cheers, CLW 14:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Open proxies

There's a list of open proxies at User:Ral315/Vandalbot compiled by an open proxy detection bot a while back. There's no scripting tool involved beyond that, though; just a few admin painstakingly blocking every entry in the list. ;) As far as I know, you're not an administrator so you can't participate. If you pass an RfA, you're welcome to help out. // Pathoschild 06:20, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Great username!

I like your username. Do you have a phobia involving clowns? Was it brought on by Stephen King's It? - Mgm|^(talk) 11:46, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Send in the clowns

Because I'm now an administrator, by a 64-2 margin. Thank you for your support. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 06:37, Dec. 17, 2005

Thank you!

Thanks for voting on my RfA! The final result was (36/1/2), so I'm now an administrator! You have the coolest username in the history of ever. Mo0[talk] 06:50, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism by 195.93.21.101

Unfortunately I'm not an Admin so can't block it, just have to list it on WP:AIV --pgk^(talk) 16:31, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be redundant

You are aware that there's an actual and illustrated Can't sleep, clown will eat me article on Wikipedia, aren't you? --Kizor 00:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Yeah, I saw your alerts and went through them and did rollbacks on all the vandalisms I could find..I'll just keep issuing warnings and blockings until they get tired of me.--MONGO 08:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You do good work here and I appreciate it...keep it up!--MONGO 09:09, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

George W. Bush, suppression of section editing, and vandalism

I notice that you state that a NOEDITSECTION directive should remain in the Bush article if it has reduced vandalism. I have strong evidence that in December since it was introduced vandalism is increasing. Please see User:Tony Sidaway/Dubya vandalism. I list the program and the results, which are based on a near-live replication of the English Wikipedia database. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

You probably don't know me, but I just wanted you to know that there's a few of us on the Wikipedia-en-vandalism channel who would love for you to be an admin. If someone doesn't get to it first, I will nominate you once you've been here for about four months (although lots of people might vote oppose because you haven't been here long enough :( ). Anyway, see you then! :)--Shanel 21:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the offer Shanel. From what I understand, it is much easier to revert vandalism as an administrator, so that would be something to look forward to. Even if things don't work out in four months I'll still be here, this is truly exciting project to be part of. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 01:41, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Damn you Shanel, I'm sure I was the first to bring it up in the channel. But basically, (s)he's right, we'd like to nominate you for adminship soon. NSLE _(T+C+CVU) 07:22, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And btw, I think I'll nom you when you've been here 3 months, just to outdo Shanel :P... three months should be okay; I'd only been here ten weeks when my RFA went up and I didn't get a single time-based oppose. NSLE _(T+C+CVU) 07:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

malo's RfA

Thank you!

Can't sleep, clown will eat me, thanks for your support on my RFA. I was rather suprised at the overwhelming support I received. Thank you for your confidence in me. I hope that I'll live up to your expectations in the future as well. (BTW, you have the best username, ever.)-- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 05:22, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

BR1AN

Because his edits are not vandalism as defined by Wikipedia:Vandalism. He's just a newbie screwing up, and we don't bite them :-). Also, he seems to have stopped editing, and I at least don't ban vandals who are not active (what's the point?). PS for some reason you mail to me seemed to come from wikimedia.org, and it bounced when I replied Dan100 (Talk) 08:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Giving you Champagne!!

Champagne is often drunk as part of a celebration

On Wikipedia, the reward for good work is... more work! In honor of your good deeds on this project, I am awarding you the duty of keeping Champagne disambiguated. It is completely clean at the moment (except for some user/talk/project page links, and some intentional links. Your job is to check here every few days and fix any new links that are made to this disambiguation page (it usually picks up 2-3 a week, occasionally including a nonsense article to be speedied or AfD'd). Cheers! BDAbramson T 16:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lil' Kim

Please review the changes you rolled back on the Lil' Kim article. There was a bit of tag team vandalism happening there earlier this afternoon. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 02:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that, and some of the changes I rolled back were some vandalism, but I just posted on your talk page. But thanks for warning. Zach ^{(Smack Back)} 02:50, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem, the current version appears to be clean, but I would appreciate a second pair of eyes to give it a once over. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 02:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Got a better solution. I'm going to add it to the wikipedia-en-vandalism watchlist and to my own watchlist. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 05:28, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks Woohookitty, something sure needed to be done. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 05:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Semi protection is a last resort. Need to try other methods first. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 05:30, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

University of Miami criticism section

thanks for previously removing the vandalism from the UM page. The criticism section has been repeatedly deleted for maybe a dozen times now, and we have been having to just keep putting it back up. Finally, someone prtotected it- but with the vandalsim up (and the criticism down). If you could add your input on the discussion section it would be helpful. Thanks, jcdpi

Mark K. Bilbo controversy

Please reinstate the POV dispute emblem on the Mark K. Bilbo entry and engage in the conversation on the talk page. His indecent attitude toward Jesus and Christians, represented in the 12 cited, offensive remarks need to be represented in the entry. I found 12 in about 10 minutes as I went through a handful of his usenet posts. According to this representative sample, the other side of Bilbo needs to be in his entry. --Jason Gastrich 20:30, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your claims do not warrant placing a {{POV}} tag on the article as it stands. The current content is factual, neutral, and presented in a straight forward fashion. Please refer to Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and then discuss this further on the article talk page. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:37, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're incorrect. Placing that tag on the page is appropriate when a neutrality discussion is taking place in the talk page. Furthermore, as the author of the article, I would hope you would want it to fairly and even-handedly represent the person. As it stands, it doesn't. Doesn't this bother you? --Jason Gastrich 20:41, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion has been moved to the appropriate talk page, please make a note of it. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
