Hello! About the town of Casmalia, California - is there any evidence that the name "Casmalia" is of Spanish origin? The article doesn't say. BTW since you have been working with the category Category:Place names of Spanish origin in the United States (as have I), you might want to see the discussion about that category here. --MelanieN (talk) 15:51, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification[edit]
Hi. When you recently edited Johnny Ramone, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Jewish Journal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Yeah, could you unban me from Oh Internet[edit]
I got banned for expressing my negative opinion of some aspects of the early site, I don't think that is a legitimate reason to get banned, I was making good articles one of them became featured.Nex Carnifex (talk) 01:14, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
I informed Sherrod that you want to be unbanned. --JohnnyLurg (talk) 00:28, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

San Francisco meetup at WMF headquarters[edit]
Hi JohnnyLurg,
I just wanted to give you a heads-up about the next wiki-meetup happening in SF. It'll be located at our very own Wikimedia Foundation offices, and we'd love it if some local editors who are new to the meetup scene came and got some free lunch with us :) Please sign up on the meetup page if you're interested in attending, and I hope to see you soon!

Your input is needed on the SOPA initiative[edit]
Hi JohnnyLurg,
You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.
Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Secret Hate[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Secret Hate requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Spartaz Humbug! 03:20, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

YO[edit]
Did you inform Sherrod? Killhamster is the one that banned me btw, his reason "Go back to arguing on TOW talk pages and telling everyone how much you hate us." Sounds a bit personal huh? Nex Carnifex (talk) 19:02, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I informed Sherrod a while ago. I already told you that. --JohnnyLurg (talk) 01:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
The article David Tanny has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:
- All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. SwisterTwister talk 03:12, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
David Tanny article[edit]
Nice try there, getting rid of the delete tag when you were cleaning up that vandalism, but the article still isn't worthy of an encyclopedia. Maybe you should have looked at the talk page first before jumping the gun, pretty embarrassing that you even think a David Tanny article belongs in an encyclopedia. 50.82.220.22 (talk) 04:25, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Miley Cyrus. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Your edits[edit]
How about you try using edit summaries, instead of just undoing everyone's edits. It is extremely annoying. Bruce from Family Guy does not warrant his own page, and if you undo my redirect again, I'll take it to WP:AFD. CTJF83 10:08, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Bruce the Performance Artist.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Bruce the Performance Artist.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:53, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Amanda Wenk[edit]
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks.

BLP problems[edit]

Per below. We unblock editors all the time, some after long-term blocks, when they put forward a convincing case that they will not return to whatever shenanigans got them blocked in the first place. If you can do the same, make a new unblock request and state your case. We'll evaluate it on the merits. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 12:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

- I would like a simple explanation as to why you created so many sockpuppets. Or indeed, why create any?--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:36, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- I haven't used WalterJid in several years because it was blocked for persistent vandalism of San Luis Obispo High School (and mistaken for a sockpuppet of User:Conorchurch as a result -- see User_talk:Conorchurch). The rest of the sockpuppets were used for block evasion, since I kept finding things that needed to be edited after I was blocked. --JohnnyLurg (talk) 23:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I will concede that that appears to be an honest answer. So now tell me how we can be sure that you won't create more, given that your answer shows a degree of disregard for wikipedia rules and procedures. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:20, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I too would like an explanation why, even though a block applies to you the person, you felt it to be ok to create more accounts, contrary to policy. Indeed, any unblock must be predicated by the understanding that a) you must use one account, and one account alone to edit Wikipedia, b) all others will be indefinitely blocked, c) you cannot edit anonymously, d) you cannot create any new accounts, e) these restrcitions may be verified at anytime by a checkuser, and f) any violation will lead to an indefinite WP:BAN from the project (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:48, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have no words. --JohnnyLurg (talk) 21:52, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- If you want to be considered for unblock you will have to find some words; and moreover, they will need to be convincing.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 19:06, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am much more familiar with Wikipedia's regulations against sockpuppets than I was at the time I was blocked. I made nearly 3,000 edits and a vast majority of my edits were constructive. Three months have passed since my block, and I promise not to indulge in the same destructive, obnoxious behavior which led to my block. JohnnyLurg (talk) 13:04, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

- I saw this request and was minded to unblock. The editor has given assurances that there will be no more disruption, and I was prepared to accept this (and also per WP:ROPE.) Is there any reason we need to insist on a 6-month wait in this case? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:47, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
JohnnyLurg (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
it has been over six months. JohnnyLurg (talk) 07:53, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I have accepted your unblock request per your promise below, but will note that any socking, or violations of our policy on biographies of living persons will result in the block being re-applied. Additionally, for the knowledge of other users monitoring this request I did perform a CheckUser on this account and can confirm that JohnnyLurg has not socked during the course of his/her block. Tiptoety talk 17:03, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
As per one of your first declines: "We unblock editors all the time, some after long-term blocks, when they put forward a convincing case that they will not return to whatever shenanigans got them blocked in the first place. If you can do the same, make a new unblock request and state your case. We'll evaluate it on the merits". We need to you explain, as per WP:GAB, why you should be unblocked - it's not a situation of "wait six months" - if it was, we simply would have blocked you for 6 months (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:39, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, I explained it all already multiple times, especially in my last unblock request: "I am much more familiar with Wikipedia's regulations against sockpuppets than I was at the time I was blocked. I made nearly 3,000 edits and a vast majority of my edits were constructive....I promise not to indulge in the same destructive, obnoxious behavior which led to my block." --JohnnyLurg (talk) 11:36, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
