Hans-Paul Schwefel

Hi!

Sorry for this so late reply to you. I was very busy at university.

Professor Hans-Paul Schwefel is fine! I talked to him earlier this year. He'll present a lecture upon bio-inspired optimization based on predator-prey models. See here: http://www.wcci2008.org/ispeakers.htm#Hans-Paul Schwefel

Professor Schwefel's Wikipedia article is still a stub because I have not included others facts about his academic and proffesional life. But I shall do it!

By the way, if you would like to know more on his achievements, please, follow this link:

I promise I shall improve the text in the near future.

RE: The answer

Thanks for the pie, and the Hitchhiker's Guide reference! :) Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 02:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

If it is an IP, usually you are looking for the number of edits that are +1 the most recent warning (for example, if a 4th tier warning is given for edit A and they make edit B, they can be blocked). For registered users as little as one edit can get them indef blocked (for example, if User:Vandalomg's first edit is "I AM GOING TO VANDALIZE WIKIPEDIA"). Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 03:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if that's actually blockable (having a page like that but not actually vandalizing); some admins may preemptively block the user, though that would be against policy (technically). Definitely something to keep an eye on, however, or even WP:MFD. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

14370 as of this edit. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so; most people nowadays have roughly 15000 edits. I know the highest edit count is 177000 for a non-bot non-admin, I think. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for checking that out for me! :) Though I never pay much attention to my edit count. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

You mean challenging a block? I suppose you can; usually you just contact the blocking admin or post on ANI if you feel the block is uncalled for. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 21:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
