Vanity

Is this page vanity or not: Mikhail Lebedev --GoOdCoNtEnT 08:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

User:Aa35te

Hi there. You were leaving the above user warning messages about vandalism, and eventually they got blocked. Leaving messages is good, of course, but in this case, the editor was just playing around in the sandbox and their userpage. They weren't vandalising, and have made a number of perfectly reasonable (if frequently very minor) edits, but somehow they got hit with an indefinite block for their troubles. I've lifted the block now, but easier on the trigger eh? -Splash - tk 18:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I can confirm that I didn't start that page. The template is at User:Unisouth/Userboxes/Forpersonaluseonly/Discussion closed and is not for use on other wikipedia pages. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. Lenny 07:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I tried to revert Bollywood the same time you did -- I messed up using the pop-ups, so I reverted to the wrong revision. Thanks, Mack. 04:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the userpage revert. I have no clue why I was targetted, but then again, I've stopped trying to figure out the psychology of userpage vandals a long time ago... :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 01:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Reversions at the wikipedia in portuguese

Thanks for your anti-vandalism work at the pt:wp, but I think there are other wikipedias needing more help. Well thanks anyway. Any doubt there you can talk to me. Marcelobbr 22:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC).

Replied on ptwiki --1568 22:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually I don't know any wikipedia having problems. Maybe the pt:wp is one of the most vandalized... I've never compared to know, but wow, you are doing a good work watching all that. I think the "Small Wiki Monitoring Team" is a good iniciative, but I think that spams are another big problem to fight. I'm saying that because it's getting common people creating spams on many wikipedia (many times by using automatic translation softwares). So when people see the article, they think it's relevant because of the interwikis, but it's a mistake. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bemowo Pictures to understand what I am talking about. For that I think that the wikipedis should be more integrated, so we could fight "interspamming" more efficiently. Cheers. Marcelobbr 10:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

Talk Page Revert

Thanks for reverting the blanking on my talk page. :) -WarthogDemon 06:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!!!!

You have received the Big Boss award for aiding me. This is my special way of thanking those for their help. I am new to wikipedia and I will take all of the help that I can get!!! Thank you!! User: Big Boss 0

This user has been recognized as a Big Boss Award recipient.

Got your message -- no vandalism intended

For some reason when I hit 'save page' not only did my edits not appear, but the entire article disappeared! I did what I could to fix this ASAP, and in any case someone else seems to have put a prior version of the article up. But the important thing for you to know is that the deletion of the entire article was unintended, and I still don't understand why it happened. ~~75.209.68.55~~

Thank You!

I was checking my userpage history, and I realized that someone vandalized my page. Thank you for reverting this vandalism! I would have of course, done it myself, but was not on Wikipedia at the time. I once again thank you for your kindness. I wish I could give you something... a barnstar maybe?

PCR

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

See also:

• Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, the guideline on reviewing
• Wikipedia:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes
• Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.
  

TheSandDoctor ^Talk 05:45, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, Az1568. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! TheSandDoctor ^Talk 05:45, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Account creator granted

After reviewing your request for the "accountcreator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:

• The account creator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
• The account creator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the account creator right will result in its removal by an administrator.

If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the account creator right. Happy editing! TheSandDoctor ^Talk 06:04, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Where I am supposed to bring this up then? Masum Reza^📞 23:32, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

(this user talk page was mentioned on #wikipedia-en) WP:CIR is not something people can "violate". You appear to be referring to the on-wiki Wikipedia:Civility policy. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:54, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I am precisely referring that she called them incompetent. Also she is incivil. Masum Reza^📞 17:40, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Inactivity and user groups

Hello, Az. While you have made no edits or logged actions on the English Wikipedia since January 2022, you have edited at Wikibooks this month. There are inactivity guidelines in place for one of your user groups, extendedmover; since you were recently active in another Wikimedia project I thought it would be fair to warn you first. You last used it in 2018. Do you still want it? Sdrqaz (talk) 00:40, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I have removed the user group, as it is local to the English Wikipedia. Should you feel that you need it again, you can either leave me a message or request it via the usual means. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:44, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
