I made a mistake on the Paul McCartney Talk page. Somebody else had deleted most of the page and looking at the user name most left behind it seems quite obvious who it is. I re-added my comments on Paul McCartney being left-handed.
I do not appreciate being labelled as someone who vandalises. I try to contribute factual comments.Peter Jensen 12:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Not sure what I've done wrong...maybe you can take a look and tell me? I had not problem adding the tag to the article, or filling in the first deletiong reason. Added the entry {{subst:afd3|pg=Teledyne Ryan M-350 UAV}} per the tag to the log, but it doesn't want to come up as a seperate entry, with its own header. My first deletion reason text shows as part of the text of entry number 81, Physical Sciences (going to the section for that article, though, and my text isn't there). I'm sure I've somehow mucked the code, but can't find where. Can you please take a look? Thanks. Akradecki 18:35, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hiya,
Someone vadalized a page I watch by inserting a goofy (unquestionably vandalism) image. I reverted the vandalism bt now wanna delete the image. What tag should I use? thanks --Ling.Nut 19:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Why are you rejecting the case on RFCU?? --FireyFireMan 10:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Please be more careful with your handling of speedy deletion procedures. You tagged Mert yucel as a nn-bio, and this was inappropriate because the article contained several assertions of notability. You also neglected to add a nn-warn to the page creator's talk page. It's possible that the page should be deleted through AFD or PROD, but please be sure to follow proper process in the future.

Thank you for the note on my talk page. I'm so glad you've let yourself be nominated already. :) Good luck with the RfA process. They tell you that it's stressful, but that word should be big, bold, underlined, blinking, and maybe have an animated gif of a guy's head exploding next to it. Um. Good luck! -- Merope 13:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hello,
You seem to have fans... Today a user "MER-C" was created on nl.wikipedia (see nl:Gebruiker:MER-C). This user renamed Jimmy Wales to "Jimmy Wales RAPES BABIES!". I've blocked this accout until Kingdom Come. Best regards, Tdevries 15:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC) admin @ nl.wikipediaReply

Dang it MER-C, you beat me to the punch on your userpage. When I saw it in the Recent Changes I knew it was vandalism.--Seadog.M.S 13:20, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hi,
Sorry you've been spammed, but I hope you'll find for a good reason . I've noticed you are active around the recent changes arena (normally having beaten me to a revert), and I'm currently looking for help with a new project. I would like to harmonise all the warnings and templates we issue, with goal to creating a standard look, format and content to the messages. Even if you use VP, VS or any of the other vandal tools out there, I still feel this is worthwhile. Please visit here for further information, and leave me a message or tell me to bugger off ;) if you haven't the time. Khukri (talk . contribs) 13:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for reverting my user page. Just added my support to your RfA as well, hope you get the mop 'n' bucket - you'll be a great asset to the 'pedia :) --Casper2k3 20:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi thanks for preventing the vandalism on the Template:Castes and Tribes of the Punjab. There has been non-stop vandalism of that template for the last 2 months with the Jat clans being deleted by anon 82.37.198.177 he kept on vandalising. I do not have the expertise you have (as I am very inexperienced) can you please do me 2 favours (I would be really greatful) can you pratrol this template and get this anon blocked. As you are expert on wikipedia it would take you minutes to do the paperwork with regards to blocking due to consistent vandalism he has been warn many time see his anon talk page.--Indian50 08:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hi MER-C I created and article for a Urdu Poet Maajed Siddiqui. He is a well known Urdu Poet from Pakistan. I saw that you recently marked it as NPOV, I am an old student of Prof. Maajed Siddiqui and know him quite well, what can I change in the article so that you would remove the NPOV tag, please let me know

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tallyof(97/4/4)! I've never been able to accept compliments gracefully, and the heavy support from this outstanding community left me at a complete loss for words -- so, a very belated thank you for all of your kind words.
I have done and will continue to do the utmost to serve the community in this new capacity, wherever it may take me, and to set an example others might wish to follow in. With a little luck and a lot of advice, this may be enough. Maybe someday the enwiki admins of the future will look back and say, "Yeah, that guy was an admin." Hopefully then they don't start talking about the explosive ArbComm case I got tied into and oh what a drama that was, but we'll see, won't we? Surely some of you have seen me in action by now; with that in mind, I openly invite and welcome any feedback hereorhere -- help me become the best editor and sysop I can be.

And good luck with your current RfA! Luna Santin 12:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hi, MER-C. I notice you haven't answered the last couple of questions on your RFA (one of them mine). Of course that's up to you entirely. But they go to the heart of what many people are opposing over--in fact, I see somebody just opposed "per" my question--so I think you could be doing yourself a disfavor by not answering them. Regards, Bishonen | talk 09:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC).Reply
I feel compelled to address Gwernol's point. Yes, you have an error rate. Everyone does. Though I do not have the diffs to back it up, I remember undoing your actions a couple of times. Taking your statement as true, namely, that you have a 95% accuracy rate, where there isn't any systemic to understand relevant policy, I would be ok with that. You would assuage a lot of opposers if you promised to each opposer personally before this thing closes to never zap articles outright, but to submit them for review as a non-sysop would. I am surea half-dozen would be happy to switch on those terms, handing you the mop. - CrazyRussian talk/email 19:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
I think you did the right thing in withdrawing and I wanted to express my hope that you won't be too downcast by the result. Many nice things were said and I hope you can take heart from that. The action required should you wish to stand again (and I hope you do) is fairly clear. Very best wishes, --Guinnog 11:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I've noticed that I've become a little less deletionist but there's still a lot of entropy to take care of. And I wish for a faster internet connection... MER-C 12:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
And while you're here, could you please permanently protect my user page (edit=autoconfirmed move=sysop)? I'm sick of dealing with vandals who try to retaliate or use my user page to make personal attacks against me. MER-C 12:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Im sorry if i caused you a head ache. I was just trying to be... well BOLD. I'm still trying to bet used to the system and wiki code and everything else.--aceslead 22:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
why did you delete the new things on the RE Köln page? In the last version was everythin correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.228.154.250 (talk • contribs)
I wish to express an opinion on speedy deletions and not biting the newcomers. I'm not singling you out, I've noticed other new page patrollers who do the same thing.
I think it would be a good thing to leave the template message (the bit that says something like "{{subst:spam-notice|pg=Bell Pottinger Group}} ~~~~" at the bottom of the box) on the creating user's talk page, especially if it is a new user who is probably unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies. If I were a newcomer who found my article suddenly deleted without explanation I would be quite offended.
Thanks

Hi! I'm a banned blocked editor, and I have been trying to communicate with the banning admin (has happened since). User:Dasondas has been deleting comments I made to that admins talk page [2], as if they were harassment or vandalism. So I wanted to ask him about it, but he just deleted my (civil!) comments from his own talk page as well. He commented on the suggestion of another editor to get his talk page sprotected here [3]. I happen to think that this is actually an assholes behaviour, and nothing butt, looking at the very civil way ([4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) in which I tried to contact him for deleting (my, once again, civil) attempts at communication from another user's talk page. -- Perm. blocked user:Subversive_element, editing from IP address: 84.44.175.12 12:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the praise. :) MER-C 09:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hi again MER-C, I was on recent edits patrol again today and I had just posted a welcome message on DaFazzle's talk page before following up on what the posting was. I concur that the article posted is indeed a speedy deletion candidate, and it was quite accidental that we happened onto the same article together. I checked the talk page and found no entry informing the user of the deletion request. I checked back in 5 minutes and there was still no notification.
You may recall that I contacted you yesterday about a similar speedy deletion and you concluded that the shoot-on-sight edict precluded you from posting a warning. However, I can't see how this article conforms to the type that the shoot-on-sight edict describes. May I remind you that Wikipedia guidelines urge us to err on the side of caution and to assume good faith.
As I stated in the header, I am not policing you, I have no grudge against you and I'm not an administrator enforcing policy. In fact, I admire your sterling work and your dedication to Wikipedia. However, as a member of the welcoming committee, I do attempt to make newcomers feel welcome and it saddens me to see these efforts eroded by insensitive actions by others. I'm not saying you acted maliciously, but I would urge you to try to imagine how you would have felt if your first attempts were mercilessly shot down.
Please consider placing "{{subst:nn-warn|Lemmy's Land}}~~~~" on the User Talk page of the author. It really is a simple copy and paste and takes only a few seconds.
Thanks for listening.

It seems Willy on Wheels created a user account on the Dutch Wikipedia as nl:Gebruiker:MER-C. He was blocked indefinitely on 19 October 2006 (see here).

Hello, I would first like to thank you for taking your time to read the article on NUJS. I appreciate your effort to classify the page resembling an advertisement but I was surprised to find that you left no reason at the talk page justifying you action.

Hello MER-C. While browsing Category:Category needed I came across this article which you had tagged for speedy deletion the same minute it was created by a newcomer. The article, while short, did provide ample context about what appears to be a notable American landscape architect. If I may, I'd like to ask that you slow it down with deletion tagging and give articles a chance, especially when they're being established by new contributors (see WP:BITE), and consider engaging them on their talk page regarding any concerns you may have.

I'm confused by your reasoning on closing the AfD. The nominator, James Leftovic, never withdrew his nomination. He seemed to have mistakenly removed his own comments and left a {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Kramer}} in their place. A single IP editor then made comments about changes they made to the article and no further discussion took place... Am I missing something? --Onorem 13:12, 2 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

MER-C, on November 5th 2006 at 01:58 (UTC), you have added to the page: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CANUSA Flag the following comment: Don't you just love self-references, especially in the first sentence? This was basically added in order to make fun me. This is against Wikipedia policies under something that I believe is called "Kicking when he's down". Please restrain yourself from using such phrases in the future. Duhman0009 03:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
(deindent) Sarcastic criticism of articles takes place all the time. Don't take criticism of your article personally as it is a really minor thing in the grand scheme of things especially in RL. There are a lot more nastier things around here, including vandals on wheels (if you're wondering, Ryulong is one of our vandal fighters and TheM62Manchester turned out to be a vandal in disguise) and direct criticism of YOU. I reiterate my original comment about it being a critism of the article in question and also my comment on not taking it personally as it is counterproductive. MER-C 07:48, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
