Please join me in celebrating my 1000th edit at Wikipedia, the most important online information resource! Hamster Sandwich 21:46, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'd re-list a vfd with virtually no votes. Mention that it was listed on whatever day, but didn't receive enough votes to determine consensus. There may be a formal procedure, but I'd probably just copy/paste the vfd discussion link to today's log. Joyous (talk) 21:49, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

• I already closed it out as no consensus. But what you said makes good sense, and that's what I'll do from here on out. Fernando Rizo T/C 21:52, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For you kind wishes! And can you help me in a revert war at London, Ontario? Hamster Sandwich 22:17, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Checking it out right now. Fernando Rizo T/C 22:23, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to leave this on the talk page...

Bill Brady Bandit All pretense of assuming good faith in this vandals actions aside, I would like to suggest that the cowardly anon vandal who keeps removing the Bill Brady inclusion under notable Londoners is blocked from editing after his first revert to that section. He obviously comes in bad faith for the simple purpose of doing so, contrevening the both the spirit and letter of Wikipedia policy. He adds no value to the discussion and disregards the concensus view that Brady deserves mention in this article. If the chicken in question reads this, I would suggest getting over whatever personal bias you have with Brady, and perhaps do something useful in WP,like make a contribution to other articles, get involved with the community in a positive way. Maybe you will eventually mature into an adult type person who dosen't sulk when you don't get you own (misguided way). Or maybe just find somewhere else to push your personal bias with Brady. Go bother your parents or something.

• Ham, say something like that, but cut out the bitter stuff. Don't tell him to go bother his parents for God's sake. :) Rememeber, WP:Civility above all else, bro. Don't call him a chicken either. Go chill out for a few minutes and write it again. Just cause the guy's a vandal, do go down to his level and make an ad hominem. Fernando Rizo T/C 23:06, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Ya see..thats why I bounce this stuff off of you first! :-P Did you read his "I am prepared to eat rat meat" quote? I offer instead, a lovely hamster sandwich, with all the trimmings!. I just left a comment at admins noticeboard under, Bill Brady Bandit. Thanks my brother in electrons! Hamster Sandwich 23:13, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

See my comment on the notice board. Sorry for causing trouble, I'd like to say I didn't mean too, but I'm so sick and tired of trolls that it is tough to do so. While I definitely didn't mean to cause trouble for you and other decent Wikipedians, I sure as hell don't care whether I caused it for trolls like Gorgonzilla. I'm sick and tired of sitting back and watching while mods let personal attacks like theirs slip while nothing happens. As such, I feel no remorse for taking matters into my own hands and letting him know what I think of him. I'm getting off this sinking ship while I still can. Shouldn't have come back to see the state of affairs, all I see is Wikipedia declining more and more. Agriculture 23:00, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hipocrite has created the following page: [1]. Originally he created it in my user space: [2], and then moved it to his page when it was clear it would be deleted. I consider this harassment and would like to request you deal with this. I will leave as soon as it is dealt with. Agriculture 23:50, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm looking into it right now, Agriculture. Fernando Rizo T/C 23:53, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks. Again I'm sorry if I made things difficult for you, I consider you a shiny example of what Wikipedia should be. Agriculture 23:55, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ag, I looked all over the place for a policy and procedure for ascertaining whether or not a user is a sockpuppet, and I came up with nothing. I'm going to have to punt this one to another admin. Fernando Rizo T/C 00:30, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I'm not sure if it even is bogus. I was a fan some years back but I don't know anything that happened in the show after the second season. I mean, "ChaosGallantmon Crimson Mode" seems a little bit of an outlandish name to me, but apparently it is a common sort of name. (As I search, I find "Imperialdramon Fighter Mode") However, there seems to be confusion even on forums as to whether or not he exists - I see various examples of merchandise sold in his name that people are saying isn't real.

I think essentially what it is is not a separate monster, but another form of the existing ChaosGallantmon. In that case, I wouldn't suggest another round of VFD but a merge into ChaosGallantmon. (Anything to reduce the number of loose Digimon articles...) [[User:Premeditated Chaos|User:Premeditated Chaos/Sig]] 23:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

• I'll merge it then. Thanks for lending me your brain. Fernando Rizo T/C 23:55, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw your posting on Joy's user talk page, hope you don't mind my nosing in. Not many people can do the technical IP check to see if someone is a sockpuppet - only DavidGerard and TimStarling that I know of, and they don't use it lightly. I'm pretty sure that User:Hipocrite isn't a sockpuppet created just to harass User:Agriculture, though. For one thing, User:Gavin the Chosen has accused User:Hipocrite of being a sockpuppet created just to spite him! So at least we are dealing with a multipurpose sockpuppet here. No, really, I think Hipocrite is a regular person doing his/her best to contribute to Wikipedia in good faith. FreplySpang (talk) 00:31, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
