Chris,
I first noticed this user on their first or second day here; their interesting juxtaposition of Frisian, Shia, and LGBT interests caught my eye. My Spidey sense tingled, and though I couldn't put my finger on anything exactly, something told me to keep her talk page watchlisted, out of curiousity.
I notice you commented a couple of weeks ago that she "seemed familiar". Her recent edits seem, at least to me, to have gone further and further off base, and are now in my mind officially "disruption". I wonder if you've been keeping an eye on her, and if your original suspicions have increased or decreased.
If it's a new editor needing guidance, I (or someone better suited) could try to gently nudge her back on track. If you think this is a returning troll of some kind, I'd like to know that before deciding whether or not to spend time talking to her. It's probably not fair or assuming good faith or anything, but my gut is telling me it's the latter.
Any insight/advice? --barneca (talk) 20:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
If you think my edits are disruptive, I shall refrain from doing them. I did not came to here with the intention to be disruptive. I want to follow rules, but I am having a hard time trying to. Some guidance might be needed. Do you or another senior editor wish to give me some guidance? To show me around a bit, if you'd like? I see I am doing things banned people have done. It is in no way my intention to look like someone you have banned recently. Is everything ok now or are you gonna close my account now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Angela from the Blue (talk • contribs) 16:21, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Assuming RFCU's system is actually supposed to work (maybe it's set up wrong, I don't know), it appears that you improperly filed the RFCU case you just issued.
Take a look here. [1]
1 Outstanding requests
2 Angela from the blue
It should be a sub-section, not a section of its own.
So, it should read:
1 Outstanding requests
1.1 Angela from the blue
I don't know what you did wrong, though. I tried to re-file your case myself, but it didn't work.
So, in the meantime, I removed it (just temporarily so it doesn't confuse anyone else) and asked them on the talkpage [2] if a clerk there could re-file it for you (or you can re-file it yourself, if you can figure out how to do it). ☯ Zenwhat (talk) 04:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Nevermind. I fixed it here. [3] I think. ☯ Zenwhat (talk) 04:55, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Your help is needed in planning Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 4! Any comments or suggestions you have are greatly appreciated. The Placebo Effect (talk) 18:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chris, just wanted to pop by to say thanks for your support in my recent RfB which surprisingly (to me, at least) passed (133/4/3). The Rambling Man (talk) 16:43, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
The third AoF has been decided, Iowa (album) is the article chosen by default due to single nomination. You can see what this task is for and its aims here. As you are a member of the Slipknot WikiProject, your participation in this task is greatly welcomed and the quicker and better that we improve the article, the more efficient the project will become. Please head over the the talk page and identify areas for improvement on the to-do list and begin to achieve these goals. Collaboration is the key word for the AoF and collaborating with 1 or more users on certain tasks is recommended, communications can be made on the articles talk page or on user's talk pages. Nominations are now open for the fourth AoF so head over to the AoF talk page and nominate which article you think should recieve the attention next. REZTER TALK ø 22:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know why you feel compelled to intervene where no complaint has been made, but I'll make my point and then I will be AFK for a few days. The discussion has been on the talk page for a while. the editor in question has chosen to ignore that forum. Looking at ((Test)), it clearly states, "Template:Test — Assumes good faith." It's not until ((Test2)) that there is a "No faith assumption." While this may be a content dispute, if one party chooses not to talk what are you supposed to do? I don't see this as a violation of any rule. I'd appreciate you removing your comments from my page. --evrik (talk) 01:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks so much for the barnstar! Usually, when I see the "you have new messages" banner, I think, "Oh, boy, a message! I love getting messages!" This time, though, I thought, "Oh, no, I'm in trouble for deleting a message from a talk page!" But it was a barnstar! :-) You might (or might not) be interested in the following discussions re user Mikkalai: Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Archive 21#Mikkalai , User talk:Coppertwig#Ignore all rules , User talk:Coppertwig#Perspectives on incivility. I appreciate your help at the And you are lynching Negroes page. --Coppertwig (talk) 02:44, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

You recently sent me a message saying that articles I submit to Wikipedia are no longer mine and that contributors are free to edit or delete them! Well, I disagree with that! Articles that are submitted to Wikipedia still belong to the owner. After all, isn't the owner the one who makes the article? Kristy22 (talk) 18:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
You sent me another message. You were wrong about what you said about the ownership of articles. I clicked on the link you directed me to and I saw the rules about ownership. It is not true that you cannot own articles that you submit to Wikipedia! I don't believe that and I never will! I read a section about the ownership of articles about owners of articles that challenge people who dare to edit their articles. So even when I submit articles to Wikipedia, I can still challenge people to riddles if they dare edit them! Wikipedia is the right place for me! I don't agree with what you said! This is my point of view! Kristy22 (talk) 19:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
How could you delete my precious article? I worked so hard on it! Kristy22 (talk) 19:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Why do you think the articles I made were nonsense? I was just trying to make fun articles for Wikipedia! I don't see the reason why you deleted my articles! You're are not supposed to commit vandalism on Wikipedia! Kristy22 (talk) 21:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I never planned to make a personal attack on any editor's user talk page! Kristy22 (talk) 22:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Done Chris, Long time since we chatted... We got a problem with a bot marking the Wings Museum article, logo and or B-52 history for copyviolations. The template says to have an administration address the isssue before further editing. I have given explaination on the article talk page for both logo and B-52 history, AND update the image file with Fair Use Summary. Please review and clear the copyviol template. I am the Volunteer Curator of Military Aircraft and Collection Mgr for the Museum for the past 6 years and volunteer and member, and past Foundation Board Member since Feb. 1987. Another wiki editor added the image some time ago, and the person and there associated bot was used on the Museum article. The photo is a low resolution image for article explaination, and the history of the B-52B "005" have been sourced (not quite to wiki std , but sourced) in the aricle and the aol hometown article is very similar of WHICH i am the pagemaster. I have noted on the article Talk page, I give full public domain to the info, as the info is all in Museum files and Maxwell AFB correspondence with the Museum. Please clear this issue... if appropriate, info the user of the bot that they have not done their homework in analizing the info and data. Hope this message finds you doing well. Haven't seen you too active in AV stuff in a while. Cheers and best regards, Lance. ...LanceBarber (talk) 03:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the quick response (and speedy action). Template:Zelda is another navbox that's been made redundant and might be worth merging if you have the time. Again thanks very much. Guest9999 (talk) 14:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
The only reason I spammed links on the message I left you was because I was trying to give you something to occupy your time with.You should be thanking me because I gave you something fun to do. It is fun for me, so I don't know why it wouldn't be fun for you. Kristy22 (talk) 23:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't know if you wanted it that way, but I brought the blue part to 100% width. Sorry if you didn't want it that way. ;-) Jonathan 16:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

One hour?! Oh well I guess. Grsz11 19:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I saw your comment about "an hour cool down block", and I wanted to give you a gentle reminder about Wikipedia:BLOCK#Cool-down_blocks. Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 20:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
It was a good idea to block her for 24 hours, i'm not sure what she was thinking, but she needs some time off. Momusufan (talk) 04:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
User Grsz has been on the war path trying to remove a 2 day old page James Avery (captain) , he deleted the content when he posted hi db-person. I informed him that the page was only 2 days old and give it some time, asked him to contribute rather than erase the Historical Parson from history. I think it is a personal attack from the other day, I consider him hostile to my contributions and his deletion of the article as vandalism.(Lookinhere (talk) 19:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC))
Done
When someone is blocked for having the name of a famous person, aren't they normally given an OTRS link to verify their identity? I thought they got a different message than the standard "change your username" template. Nesodak (talk) 20:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Why did you block me for 24 hours yesterday? I think that block was truly an unfair block! I didn't do anything wrong! I just posted an uncivil comment on my user talk page! I can post any messages I want on my user talk page! It is no business of yours. Kristy22 (talk) 22:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
No, you cannot block me for violating policies on my talk page! My talk page belongs to me, so I can post uncivil comments on my user talk page if I want to! It is no business of yours! It is my talk page, so what did you have to block me for? Kristy22 (talk) 23:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Wow, I just came home and found out Kristy22 is indef blocked. That sure made my evening. lol. Momusufan (talk) 03:19, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Chris, I just wanted to let you know I messaged Lookinhere regarding the policy on link spam, concerning his user page. I feel I had the right to be bold, as it is a relevant and definitive policy. I just don't want him to go accusing me of attacks or vandalism, etc., as he's been prone to do. Also, with the websites being titled "Lookinhere", it's possible his username is a violation of the user name policy, though I won't bite that much. Thanks, Grsz11 04:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Is the mention of the sites allowed to stay? Grsz11 05:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
I would like to see something done about these: [4], [5], [6] [7].
It's really frustrating with him making all these accusations and attack because he thinks I'm out to get him, just because he doesn't understand the rules we've both tried to explain. He was blocked the other day, why not now? The admin at AIV said he stopped, but that's only because I left. I'm sure I could get him fired up pretty easily again. Grsz11 13:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Chris, in 2007 you were one of two administrators who approved deletion of an article regarding the Bethesda Big Train. I discovered this when I went to upload the start of an article about the Big Train. You deleted the article because you found no independent sources verifying notability.
I believe a team that has produced 34 professional ball players in its ten years is notable. I've only just begun documenting the 34 (a number which comes from the team's web site), but the first on the list is John Maine, a pitcher with the Mets.
This article is part of a series I'm working on regarding the Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate Baseball League. I've added my first drafts of articles on the league and one of its teams, the Rockville Express. CRSCBL and Rockville Express.
Now that I know a previous article was deleted, I'd appreciate your feedback on whether or not I'm on the right track to create articles that (a) meet the notability requirements and (b) more generally, if there is any advice you would offer.
My draft article on the Big Train can be found at User: Thenkyn/CRSL. —Preceding comment was added at 23:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC) Logged back it to sign this... Thenkyn (talk) 00:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chris - just a courtesy note to let you know that I've just nominated eight categories based on unremarkable aircraft features for deletion, since you created most of these. The categories in question are:
My IP adress just recently got unbanned again. Yet I seem to have lost my original account, -The Bold Guy-, entirely. About a month ago, I was requesting it to be unblocked, then a user named Kermanshahi with whom I have had absolutely no contacts whatsoever during my entire stay on the site, began trolling my talk page until you made it a redirect and protected it, thus disabling me to request for unblock. So when I noticed I got unblocked, which happens to be right now, I went to this page to ask you to do me just this one little favour. Please, unblock the Bold Guy. 86.89.146.118 (talk) 08:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
PS: I re-added the original content on my userpage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.89.146.118 (talk) 08:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I just saw I misjudged you: you only blocked my account for 6 months. Not indefinetely. Now I will be able to return after a while, that certainly is a much more bright future!
Well, the main problem is that I cannot participate in the Frisian Project for half a year, and that is a bad thing for the Frisian Project needs all her participants right now. I'm on of the founders of the project, seriously, I am! 86.89.146.118 (talk) 14:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up re Oompapa, et al. I'll be permanently blocking these accounts on sight. Accounting4Taste:talk 21:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey, Chris, I just wanted to commend you on the good job you've done on the Pitot-static system article – it's really come a long way!. Askari Mark (Talk) 18:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
And I suppose you have nothing better to do than denounce me as silly when I was trying to lighten up Jimbo's page? Please, read what he wrote on the paragraph next to the image.
The null edit was to explain why I reverted back to my version, also. 21655 (憎) 17:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I like what you are doing with the page, but I have some questions that will help build the page. Did she ever do drugs when she was little? What was her relationship with her mom? Her dad? When did she first start playing? How long has she been singing? Was she in any previous bands? If you can find answers to these questions, then the page should do good. If you want to know a good model for the page, go to Lacey Mosley. P.S. Sorry if I don't make much sense. Mr. GreenHit Me Up 15:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
