Why did you delete the Proctor silex page? ENTPfox 03:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I can't even find the page he's talking about in the deletion log and don't have any recollection of it among the hundreds of cruft pages I delete each week... If you can give me any more info I will look into it Blockinblox 03:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
On the other EN, "correcting" British English to American English (or vice versa) is rather frowned upon, especially if it leaves a mix of both in the article. Is it really OK here to change some words from BE to AE, while leaving others BE?[1] Freshstart 17:28, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
PS. It's not my idea. I've just modified the polish Wiki Main Page.
I'm happy to point out that, consensus being reached on Wikipedia:Administrators, you are now an admin. Make sure to review all the current policies. If you intend to use the "Block user" function, you must keep your email address current and check it often. The big thing to remember is not to use your abilities in any conflicts (editing or otherwise) that you're directly involved. Other than that, I'd suggest starting out slowly, and feel free to contact me or another admin if you have any other questions or just need a second opinion. Try to keep to the core values of Simple:, and remember that we aren't just another of EN: Wikipedia. -- Netoholic @ 06:22, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Blockinblox! I would like your comment on Wikipedia talk:Simple English Wikipedia#Policy issue because you are an administrator and the discussion is directly related to how Simple English Wikipedia is or should be run. It is also related to Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not, where I wouldn't mind knowing your opinion as well. Thanks! --Cromwellt|talk 20:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Should you need help with cleanup, I can get a temp sysop permission from one of the Stewards in order to help you. Let me know. --M7 14:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello Blockinblox. I've got a job for you. Could you unprotect the main page, please? I'll replace it with User:Odder/Main Page. We need to unprotect the Template:Wikitopics too, I'll add to this template some icons. Could you do it, please? Greets, 83.27.82.34 13:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Would you mind taking a look at my WikiReader proposal on Wikipedia:Simple talk? I think it could be a fantastic way to go for the Simple English encyclopedia. Archer7 15:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
What template are you using for the last warnings? I've never seen it before. Archer7 | talk 14:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I hope that you do not mind me adding things in simple English. I was banned from English Wikipedia for correcting the Port Arthur massacre article there. I thought it was very unfair. I provided references, while the people that banned me just made things up. I think it would be good if that article could be accurately presented. I have written many articles showing how Wikipedia have covered up that article. If you look at the first entry, the first entry is a redirect to something that does not exist. The first talk entry was one apologising for something beforehand. There are over 100 entries that have been deleted from history. This is something that I would have hoped that something like Wikitruth could have exposed. This is actual censorship. And they have banned people for trying to speak truth and trying to improve accuracy. This is all that I have ever aimed to do. I have an article on these censored topics on Wikinfo too, with Fred Bauder's permission. These are important topics, and I do not think that it is right that we are going to lie to people about it. I do not care about the politics of Wikipedia, about the cabal or whatever else. I just want people to tell the truth. 203.122.215.44 04:17, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'm sure you've seen our latest vandal, but User:Reri Horlockon has recently vandalised my user page twice. All other edits are constructive, but I've had no replies to my questions about it. User:Reri Horlockon could actually be the same guy as the vandal, or the vandal could have hacked his account, or he could just be angry with me. What do you think we should do? At the moment I'm tempted to place him on an 'enforced wikibreak' for a few weeks. Any ideas? Archer7 | talk 15:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
How do I semi-protect? The only one I can see just protects from unregistered users, not accounts under 4 days old (semi-protection). Archer7 | talk 21:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
I would appreciate your comments on Simple talk regarding User:Netoholic. Netoholic has claimed that my actions were inappropriate, and I would like to know what you think. Archer7 | talk 10:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
User:Reri Horlockon has finally admitted to being the 63.19 vandal (see my talk page). Apparently his vandalism will carry on, so I have now warned him about Wikipedia contacting ISPs. Anything else happens, do a range block of 63.19 for a while, it's best to just knock it out now I think. Archer7 | talk 10:15, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey Blockinblox, I noticed you just edited MediaWiki:Edittools. While you're at it, can you enclose the warning in a <span> with an ID so editors who know the warning off by heart can turn it off in their Monobook? Thanks, Tangotango 16:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thanks--Vector (write me please)(Esperanza) 21:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
please block all the reincarnations (a friend of Vector) 21:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Good call with that. In reviewing this, I found clear and convincing evidence by looking at both his simple: and en: contributions on all accounts that this is the same, disaffected user. I've blocked him and the socks (user:Treebark and user:Carmelapple). -- Netoholic @ 04:47, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
LOL he also just failed a request on YET ANOTHER account over at en:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Sugarpine. -- Netoholic @ 04:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
As you seem to be a very experience editor on the Simple Wiki (evidenced by your adminship), would please comment on this proposal on Simple talk, advocating for the creation of some sort of featured article process?--TBCΦtalk? 08:18, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Blockinblox, thanks for blocking User:Beckjord. Can you fix a particularly irritating piece of vandalism he did, by deleting vector ^_^ (talk) and moving ITALIAN FAG to vector ^_^ (talk), and then reverting the page? (The history for Vector's user page is currently located at ITALIAN FAG. The talk page is okay.) Thanks, Tangotango (talk) 16:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Blockinblox, I came to tell you about several problems here about new users signing in as registerated users with most that have innaproaite names and with users that have 0 edits. I think you should patrol on those stuff (or ask a checkuser) to monitor those stuff. thanx. --§ Alastor Moody (T + C) 06:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I can see why you might think my recent edits were unusual, but I assure you, you are mistaken. Template:Admin displayed "Jimbo Wales" only because that was default (for easy viewing). See en:Template:Admin, which does the same. When I updated the Admin template today, I was reminded of the imposter and took steps to rename that account. User:Jimbo Wales was an account originally created by an imposter, which I've identified as User:Ewok Slayer now (from en:). I've renamed the imposter's account, and now created an account for Jimbo to prevent future problems. -- Netoholic @ 19:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Please block User:Shandlewood. He is a vandal who makes nonsense pages. PullToOpen Talk/Contribs 02:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
What's a double redirect? I never really did understand that term eventhough I encountered it quite frequently on ENWP. zephyr2k 21:52, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Could you kindly check if there is a good version of the article? It was deleted and I know that Eptalon created the stub. zephyr2k 11:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Funny article. Anyway, would you mind deleting the redirect and uncategorizing it? I would uncat it myself but I don't mess around with other people's userspace. Thanks! zephyr2k 02:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Blockinblox. May I know why you redirected the Big words article there, into a sandbox page with extra large fonts? :)-- Tdxiang @ 03:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Well to expand on the reason I gave in my comment on the Move log, the article was created by an anonymous wag, and should have been deleted, but I felt it was too funny to just delete -- so I moved it to the only place I could think of where it might be allowed, into my own personal space. I kept it "as is", big fonts and all, and so far haven't changed anything that the anon wrote, apart from removing the category. Blockinblox 03:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, regarding guantanamo bay, I think you were right to add the template, but someone else has changed the term "concentration camp" to "prison", I think prison is innapropriate, as it is not officially a prison! any thoughts? Chosongul 16:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Dude, if you don't want image uploads, then disable the image upload form, instead of complaining when people use the fully-functioning image upload form. Image en:Image:Shield-Trinity-Scutum-Fidei-English.png (which is NOT a "fair use: image) has absolutely no functionality whatsoever outside a specific English-language context, so I have no intention of uploading it to Commons... AnonMoos 13:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, today on simple.wiki a vandal was creating useless pages and I had to seek for help from a Steward. He did let me block the vandal and clean up the mess, then removed my temp admin status. Later, he was also informed that there is a pending RFA on this wiki for User:TangoTango and the Steward asked the user to put his request for sysop's flag on meta and therefore gave him the adminship, since the only active bureaucrat doesn't seem willing to do that. You can read about this on meta. I'm asking for your opinion about the statement of Netoholic on this page and also on RFC page that was opened. --M7 21:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Blockinblox. Can you explain why you reverted my edit? It's not vandalism, I was just wikifying. :) -- Tdxiang Adminship 04:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Yep, I performed a history merge of the two articles (for GFDL compliance). You can find both histories at the history page of Shetlands; you may have to do a hard refresh to see the new copy. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 13:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello Blockinblox. Thank you very much for the trust you place in me. Yes, it was unfortunate that I did not make it to admin at the start of this year. At that time however, I had considerably more free time I could put into Wikipedia. Now I do between 200 and 400 edits a month, and I feel bad about it. However, I will take the responsibility, if the community thinks I would make a good admin. -- Eptalon 15:26, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I removed the sentence you added. It was already there in the top paragraph. Creol 21:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

New elections for bureaucrats on simple.wikipedia are going to start. Would you like to give a hand to simple.wikipedia and candidating here? --M7 17:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I saw your note on the word "usual". So what words should not be defined?? What words should not have articles?? I am certainly willing to hear opinions or learn guidelines. --Filll 19:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Sir James Paul has shown a tendency for a strong christian bais in each of his edits as well as removing inwiki, cats, and other tags while completely replacing text on pages. There is also little to no wikifying of his pages and certain pages have included the odd bits of extra coding (added headline text such as on the talk page for mormonism. He has had several comments on his talk page from people trying to help improve the edits but continues to blank pages and reinsert information he feels is right for the article. It would be appreciated if you could review this if you get a free moment. -- Creol 01:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello Blockinbox. Yes it seem that the community has finally placed some trust in me, and made me an Admin. I will try to fulfill those administrative duties as best I can. I am still unclear on how to create archives of pages, but for the rest, as you can see I am already fulfilling my duties (mainly cleaning nonsense pages, and doing requested deletions). Thanks anyway, hopefully we will see you as one of the new Bureaucrats. -- Eptalon 02:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, I've just issued Sir James Paul with this warning.
I'm afraid this is only going to get worse, so the same applies to Creol if there are any more attacks like this. I'm hoping I don't have to resort to blocking over this, but does that seem fair to you? Archer7 - talk 15:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I promise I will not attack Creol again. I was mad at him because his messages were rude. I appologized to him. If he does not appologize to me by the end of the day will you ask him to? If he does not say he is sorry for this I will be even more mad with him. All I did was give him a barnstar on his user page and I did not know not to. Please answer me on my talk page. Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir James Paul 16:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Both of us have now been promoted to bureaucrat. Thanks for nominating yourself, as otherwise we would have had to promote you by force: you're a brilliant admin. Archer7 - talk 10:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for everyone's support - I will do my best to work with Archer7, the admins and all contributors to make this one of the more useful projects in the wikiverse, in a way that is fair to everyone (except the vandals)! Regards, Blockinblox 14:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you said earlier on to Tdxiang that we could desysop him. Actually, we can't. They decided a few months ago that bureaucrats couldn't be trusted with removal of access and took that privilege away. All removals need to go to the stewards now, all we can do is grant sysop, bureaucrat and bot flags and change usernames. Oh, and just to let you know, I'm going to try and enforce Netoholic's decision on User:Kimberly Ashton, all except point 3 (edit more articles or you will be banned). I'm really not that confident that it'll succeed, but I'll give it one last shot. Archer7 - talk 16:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, so we have already confirmed that Kimberly Ashton and AbbyItalia work from the same IP. However, what about User:Yehku Yehklucs Yehklann and (and possibly User:Terikron Tiraldi)? The first thing that the first user did was vandalize the IP's user page, accusing sockpuppetry. This seems somewhat odd that somebody would know that much who isn't an insider or was here before...so this person may be Ashton/Abby herself. Again, this is only a hunch, but I think it may be worth mentioning. PullToOpen Talk 03:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I personally just don't like using the special page for the cat tree. That's why I tossed the link to the stats concise cats page. The special page takes up too much page space for basic info while the concise list can cover the first two subcats in much less space making it easier to get a good location for a jump off point when looking for the best cat. True, the special page is constantly updated while the Concise list is a month or more old, but there really isn't a lot of movement on the top level categories. Using the concise list as links to the cats themselves to explore the lower cats when needed (does cat:English people have a subcat for English explorers? for example) is easier with the concise list when dealing with hundreds of entries a day. It may just be a matter of taste. -- Creol 06:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
At least the version I made is more simple. It also has some helpful stuff in it. I agree that the version you reverted it back to is better but it is not simple.

Hi, Blockinblox. I've seen you around a lot but I don't believe I've had the chance to chat with you yet. I think you might want to have another look at Human Be-In. I don't want to simply revert without explaining my reasoning because I respect you. If you look at what I took out, you might see that it is extraneous info, not needed to understand the context of the event. Also, the article was full of long, complex, run-on sentences. I believe the changes you made have again made the article unnecessarily complex. I simplified the sentences that I felt contained pertinent info. I removed sentences that didn't have anything to do with the event. In particular, I think the sentence about "The recent November 1966 elections to Congress were a setback for the Democrats, with more and more people unhappy about the war and the riots, and the Republicans finally succeeded in getting the first African American Senator elected since the Reconstruction" is not needed at all in this article. Perhaps you could give it another look? Thanks, Tygartl1 16:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, I stand corrected. Sorry for the trouble, I should have ran a search myself and not assumed. Thanks, Browne34 18:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

In response to this edit summary: I did not say that I don't understand the message, I said that it is not very clear. While the message you have put there explains what happens when the box is ticked, it does not explain what happens if it is not ticked, and this information needs to be somewhere easy to access. Assumptions regarding people's knowledge of the MediaWiki software should not be made.
I also do not appreciate the comment you made in this edit summary; reverting my edits, which attempted to make things more simple, without explanation is not helpful. J Di 14:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

(cross post to Archer7's talk page as well)I noticed that a vandal-only account by the name of Phaedriel showed up today. This user is an administrator on the English Wikipedia (User:Phaedriel). I have alerted Phaedriel of this impersonation, so you or Archer7 should change the name of that account to something else so that the real Phaedriel may register her name. Thanks.

Hi there,
I am thinking about a good platform, based on the wikipedia model, for health jargon. I've looked at the Medicine pages and the Simple English Wiktionary and I think I'm looking for something in the middle, but I'm don't want to run off and start something new if the platform is here.
What I'm looking for is a tool for health care providers/patient educations - or health care consumer themselves, if they are so inclined - to can find a different way to describe medical terminology, so they can use it in their practice. It could be added to and monitored in the same was as wikipedia, and if successful, I don't see why it couldn't go on other languages.
Is SE Wikipedia the place for that, or no? I'd appreciate your opinion and advice.

Hi, this is Bahar from the Turkish Wikipedia. Because I haven't contributed here much I don't know if the Simple English Wikipedia's admins could change my user name from Bahar101 to Bahar.

Weel, you must admit it's hard to explain the creation/evolution debate in simple english. Anyway, why is the scientific side POV-pushing, but the section it replaced POpushing the creationist side NPOV? Adam Cuerden 07:18, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
My understanding is that we are working to build articles that are well supported, not based on somebody's intuition. The CGEL, which I referenced in the article on nouns is the most up-to-date and comprehensive grammar of English. On what grounds do you remove the reference?--Brett 17:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support on reverting Vietnamese diacritics. Can you help move Hà Nội back to Hanoi? The page was originally Hanoi and then redirected, I cannot move it because a history exists at Hanoi, and I think I need an admin's help.

Hey Blockinblox, been a while since we last interacted. Can you please change my username to Picaroon (talk · contribs)? (Non-existent, as the log shows.) Thanks, Picaroon (t) 03:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Blockinblox! After much pondering, I have decided to change my username to Tygrrr (talk · contribs). Would you be so kind as to handle this switch? Thank you very much. :-) · Tygartl1·talk·

Can you withdraw the RfA.
Looking at User_talk:Barliner#The_Chaser.27s_War it looks like someone has assumed I was already an administrator and then gone ahead and nominated me. — This unsigned comment was added by Barliner (talk • changes).
Hi Blockinblox.
Could you please rename User:ArielGold? It's a troll impersonating en:User:ArielGold.
She asked me if the account could be renamed so she can register.
Thanks. FrancoGG ( talk ) 21:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
You renamed the vandal User:ArielGold, but you forgot to move the contribs: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/ArielGold
Now, the real ArielGold has created the account, but it seems like she has done the vandalism too!
I think, it is good to rename it with moving contribs again, and then let her create it again. - Huji reply 21:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
{edit conflict} The contribs are supposed to move automatically, but it usually takes several minutes. I hope it wasn't messed up by creating a new account with that name. Blockinblox - talk 21:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Increasing Burden of School Bags
India had been a colony of Britain for more than two centuries. Although, we have become independent in terms of our own constitution, but still we are slave mentally and psychologically our attire is our own but the person within it is motivated by the British ideology. As we all know that today it is an era of cutthroat competition. So we can't deny the rapidly increasing importance of English language. At present English has become a global language. In the hour of liberalization, privatization and globalization English language has rooted firmly its footings in the mind of each and every citizen of the world. In order to be successful English has become necessary to be learned by all. English is not as simple as it appears to be become it is a complicated admixture of several European languages, such as- Greek, Latin, French, German, English etc. Thus it possesses approximately ten lack words. India is a developing country. Its population is more than 100 crore. Here we have lack o resources & production, so it has always been a challenge for us to educate all the citizens. Due to over population the competition is getting more complicated and horrible. As a matter of fact our competition is with the western countries where English is spoken in general. Therefore we, Indians being from rural and Hindi background, are quite unable to learn all these words. Though, we in no sphere of life, lag behind the Britishers but our main problem is of foreign language which is imposed not inculcated in our veins. I can claim that the Europeons will certainly face the same problem if Hindi is posed to them. Therefore, due to the increasing world over significance of English language we can't of avoid it. We have to learn it how to speak, how to write and how to make other people understand our feeling. Now the question that arises before us is what should be done to teach English to all the Indians in the simplest possible way? How can it be learnt by all? It seems next to impossible to learn ten lakh words for every Indian. So I am inclined to create a modified English named after Rajeev Gandhi, which will include about one lakh words and will also facilitate the Indians to interact with the foreigners in the easiest possible way. Reduction of words requires great consideration and strenuous efforts. We can drop out the undesired words, synonyms, undesired homonyms and homophones. I am determined to create an easily intelligible English, which will include our colloquial terms and the most essential words. As we see newspapers in English language are daily published across the country but very few people are able to read them and translate because the English used in these papers is complicated, vague and completely unintelligible for the common people. This way these newspapers remain beyond the reach of the billons of Indian. I think simple and easy English must be used in writing newspapers and magazines by doing so we will be able to reach the hearts of those people who are responsible to run bear and feed this country, until or unless we teach English to our frames, laborers and commoners, the vision 2020 of developed India will surely break down.
Today we boast of the fastest growing economy of India but the question is that “Is this economy able to provide bread to the needy ones?" No, money is getting accumulated in the bags of very few people who belong to the upper strata of the society and know the cruel ways how to exploit economically, culturally and sociably the innocent and ignorant people of this nation in the so called English fashion.
Therefore in order to bring the farthest standing people into the mainstream of development we will have to teach them this Rajeev Gandhi English and students will learn it in play way method. Undoubtedly I can claim it will prove a boon for the general masses of this poor nation. It is a revolutionary step and will become a milestone in the history of human development.

Regarding the reverting you did made on the Arab article, Ib mny point of view, I would say that the current version of the article may be a bit clumsy and very confusing and needs cleaning. what say you? --Simenged 14:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that you deleted the article on Reason a few times. Those times it seems like the article was about the dictionary definition - a belief, justification, cause, etc. I'm writing an article about Reason, the way of thinking that uses facts and logic instead of feelings and emotions. I wanted to make sure that you think it should be here, because I don't want to put in a lot of work only to have it deleted. Thanks! Staeiou (talk) 14:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello Blockinblox. In the interests of keeping out bureaucrat list somewhat accurate and active, we've asked for your bureaucrat rights on Simple to be withdrawn here.
