Hi Bibliomaniac,

Just wanted to say thanks for the kind message on my talk page. I think you're pretty awesome myself! Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 10:43, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey Bib! Thanks for calling 23 my day - it was a very kind thing to do and I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, someone screwed the dates up and it got archived very quickly![1]. By the way, I hope all is well with you both her and in real life. take care, Ryan Postlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 00:15, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Whoops. Looks like my template went wild with that one. Thanks for the regards. bibliomaniac15 00:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks and a request

Thanks for signing up at Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers and for your work doing reviews. It is now just over a year since the last peer review was archived with no repsonse after 14 (or more) days, something we all can be proud of. There is a new Peer review user box to track the backlog (peer reviews at least 4 days old with no substantial response), which can be found here. To include it on your user or talk page, please add {{Wikipedia:Peer review/PRbox}} . Thanks again, and keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:32, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Help

Hi, Bibliomaniac. I want to ask you a question and hope you can help to solve this problem. Several days ago, I changed my account name into a new one. However, the old name still appears in the edit history as the following edit summary entry:

Reverted edits by BigFatBigCa(talk) to last version by Jiacklsd.

Here BigFatBigCa(talk) is my old name. How Can I change this name to my new name ?

Thanks very much. Pig 15:56, 27 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TagSmallPig (talk • contribs)

Hi, bibliomaniac. You kindly shared some advice on the above article, recently. I left the GA review open for an extended-period as it was close, and the nom's online time was limited. …It's now time I closed it.

While I've suggestions for post-GA improvement, I'm inclined to pass it as a Good Article. The changes I made to the article were minor; they stop short of adding sections, however I did make several edits. In the interest of integrity, please could you take another look at the article, and let me know if you think it appropriate to Pass. –Whitehorse1 17:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC).

Hey biblio, in the middle of one of my short wikibreaks at the moment while i'm studying, but i'm defiantely willing to get this going as I think it would really benefit my level of contribution to the wiki. If we could just take it slowly one step at a time, so I don't become quickly overwhelmed, that would be much appreciated. :D Mattie^TK 11:28, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Piracy participation update

Hello Bibliomaniac15/Archive 12,

WikiProject Piracy is currently undergoing some updates and changes, and we are trying to find out who is still active in the project. You are currently listed as a participant on the list of participants, and we would like for you to update your status. Please move your name to the section that best describes your activity in the project:

• Active - still active and interested within the scope of the WikiProject.
• Semi-Active - still active on Wikipedia, but not as active in regards to the WikiProject.
• Former Members - a catch-all classification for those editors who are not active on Wikipedia, those that are still on Wikipedia, but no longer part of this WikiProject, or those that have otherwise not moved their names to another classification yet.

Thank you,

Hi biblio, I am not sure your granting of RB rights to the above user is really worth the risk.

Edit warring on Chicago 'L' rolling stock, among others

I have a question regarding a couple blocks you have made fairly recently. You blocked User:White Chalkboard indefinitely, and a couple other IPs for a short period of time, for abusing multiple accounts. I don't dispute this, but there seems to be a slow-moving edit war going on on Chicago 'L' rolling stock, and it's occurring over what seems to be a really silly reason (a very minor wording issue) which has involved accusations of vandalism on the part of the anon/White Chalkboard, by users such as User:Wuhwuzdat. I've protected the page in question for a week to prevent the ongoing edit war, and I'd like some input regarding the nature of this anon/White Chalkboard's edits, as they don't seem to be pure vandalism to me (as has been claimed by e.g. Wuhwuzdat). If it is indeed a case of someone disrupting Wikipedia, I'd like to unlock the page and take proper steps (such as semi-protection in place of protection) rather than the current full protection. Your input would be appreciated; I'll put your talk page on my watchlist, or you can post a message on Talk:Chicago 'L' rolling stock.

Please see Wikipedia_talk:Admin_coaching

"I am under hiatus now, but I will resist making it historical under all circumstances. Inactive, perhaps. Historical, no. bibliomaniac15 03:29, 7 March 2009 (UTC)" I marked it inactive and you reverted it. I did a ton of work here and then gave up because it appears all the coaches are inactive. Perhaps one or two exceptions. If you would like to sort it out and see who is still actually coaching, be my guest. Otherwise, the project should at least be marked as inactive because it has zero coordinators and if there are any active coaches, I haven't seen them. Are you coaching someone? Enigma^msg 04:58, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. If I wanted a coach, where would I go to? The requests page is heavily backlogged. I guess I could move all the coaches except for yourself to former, because it doesn't seem any of the others listed in active are active at this point. Enigma^msg 05:50, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous Dissident's RFB

This was deeply pathetic, and I have commented so at the RFB. Quite what purpose you felt your mindless swearing would serve I have no idea, but suffice to say my opinion of your judgement has taken quite a knock. Pedro :  Chat  23:09, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Profanity isn't allowed now? Copulate with me horizontally. — neuro^{(talk)(review)}

I'm not saying it isn't allowed. I'm asking why Bibliomaniac15 seems to think it has purpose. A "fuck me sideways" comment would seem of little value to building consensus via discussion. Evidently Bibliomaniac thinks otherwise - an enlightening stance for a bureaucrat to take. Pedro :  Chat  23:24, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Whilst RfA is indeed a discussion, a vote of support without a rationale is easily interpreted as simply an endorsement of the nominatory statement (and I interpreted it as such). Such an expletive is merely a modifier for the support, not an offensive term. If anything, it simply means "there are too many good things to say". — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 23:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict)This kind of comment can serve to lighten the mood, if you let it. I don't think this is an issue unless you really want it to be. — Jake Wartenberg 23:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I really want it to be an issue, without it getting to WP:POINT. It's rude, pointless, slightly agressive and not what one would expect in a collegial atmosphere....... Oh I remember - we don't have a collegial atmosphere. Ah well, say what you want then - I couldn't care less anymore about this project. Pedro :  Chat  23:30, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

How on earth it could be interpreted as aggressive I do not know. For someone that is so intent about making things nonagressive and productive, your last sentence seems out of place. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 23:34, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

As you have inadevertantly missed the key word I've made it a bit more visible. Probably a cultural thing Mr Neurolysis, probably a cultural thing. As I said - whatever. Take this to my talk not Biblio's now. I'm clearly wrong. Pedro :  Chat  23:38, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing. As for cultural differences, I am from the gangsta crib known as 'England'. I'm glad this conversation has had a chance to end gracefully before I had to pop a cap in yo' buttocks. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 23:43, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Clealry the "take this to my talk" bit wasn't obvious enough Neuro. Any more last word smart alec responses from you or are we done now? Sigh. Pedro :  Chat  23:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

You guys, calm down. It's a personal expression I use. I'm sorry that you didn't like it, Pedro, and I took it down immediately. I don't want to start a row about this and hurt my friend's RFB in the process. bibliomaniac15 00:27, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I'd suggest in future you consider the big glaring quote at the top of your talk page a bit more deeply. Pedro :  Chat  00:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I had his RFB on my watchlist for almost a year now, and I suppose it went into my head. bibliomaniac15 00:38, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Pedro, you took the comment too seriously imho. And biblio, I can understand that enthusiasm. I had that page on my watchlist since his RfA ^_^ —Dark ^talk 08:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't think we need swearing in edit summaries or RFA comments. But I consider this matter resolved and behind us all, with hopefully no hard feelings. Pedro :  Chat  09:19, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Also On The RFB

I saw your comment to my comment on the rfb. I replied, and please let me know if there's a better way I can put it. I may be overreacting, but I was a bit worried from A's diffs. In regards to gauging consensus, it shouldn't be one size fits all, but I think the more standardized it is, the less likely it is that there will be bias or favoritism.

Thanks!

Thanks for declaring today my day! I really appreciate it and coming from my former coach it means a lot to me. Best, Malinaccier (talk) 22:07, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks for fixing my usernamespaces and things :) means a lot!--XxReikoxX 22:48, 28 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by XxReikoxX (talk • contribs)

More thanks

Hopefully a shower of gratitude is not becoming monotonous! (-;

Anyway, thanks for closing my RfA in my favour. I think you've made the right decision and hope I will prove that to be the case over the coming days and months! All the best, Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 01:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks very much

As the day here is ending, and the Wikiday is just starting, I'm a little confused on the timing, but I've jumped right in and put bacon in popular culture up for DYK. Thank you very much for taking the time and making the effort to recognize my important contributions, such as they are. :) Cheers. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:00, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Moderationmaker

As I'm getting used to things again, I don't dare touch WP:UAA . . . what do you think of User:Moderationmaker? Might that be mistaken for "moderator" here? -WarthogDemon 06:04, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Done, thanks! -WarthogDemon 01:21, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the re-naming!

Even though something went awry and I can't log in at the moment. Obviously, it's not your fault, but thank you for the re-name anyway! 98.109.118.176 (talk) 20:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC) (harej)

Everything's been fixed now (has been for several hours, actually), so no need to worry. Thank you again! —harej 02:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Glad to hear. Renaming can be a little problematic when the user's made as many edits as you have, so I'm glad it went smoothly. bibliomaniac15 02:21, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I haven't even made that many edits. Only slightly over nine thousand. —harej 19:13, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Day

You. You have done it. You have done the impossible. You have brought an ear to ear smile to my face. I don't know if I deserve such a thing, but... wow. Really, this means a lot, especially from someone such as yourself. What can I say. I am speechless.

Damn you for making me speechless. You know I hate that. :D — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 00:16, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

You damn well better enjoy your day too, or I'll go through your uploads one by one! :D — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 00:18, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

1 still remaining for me to scrutinize into the ground through :P — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 00:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Old names of renamed users

Is there a legitimate reason that 3 new accounts would have been created in the old names of renamed users within an hour or so this afternoon? See User:MikeM2010, User:WhiteHandofSauramon, User:Messedrocker. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 00:42, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

If the new accounts are merely redirects to the new one, then it is fairly standard practice. Especially among established accounts. That prevents people from taking an account and using it with the old user's reputation.---I'm Spartacus! ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 00:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

coaching...

newest answers are up, I think I posted the first part of it right when you posted on my talk page :)! -Senseless!... says you, says me 09:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Please take a look...

...at this MfD. Also check my deletion log; the page was deleted three times under three different names. I am soliciting the opinion of others as well. Thanks!  Frank  |  talk  15:47, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Case closed.  Frank  |  talk  16:00, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks - Question about pages

Thanks for changing my username :) I'm wondering if I am going about publishing an article on Brother USA the wrong way. I'd like the page to be title Brother USA and show agersh124 as the creator. Right now it is a user page titled agersh124 about Brother USA. Thanks for your input. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gersh124 (talk • contribs) 15:16, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm curious

Hey Biblio. I had a question, and since you handled the necessities of User:Nitelinger, I thought I would ask you. It's a situation I'm not familiar with here at WP, and I wondered. Would it be inappropriate to create some sort of memorial barnstar and place on the users talk page? I wouldn't want to do something totally out of line, but I thought it might be nice gesture. — Ched ~ ^(yes?)/_© 16:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Did the best I could, and posted to ANI. Hopefully this is the closest I'll ever come to IAR — Ched ~ ^(yes?)/_© 01:03, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Bibliomaniac15. You have new messages at Wikipedia:User_categories_for_discussion#Category:Wikipedia_administrators.
You may remove this notice at any time by removing the {{newmessages}} template.

Thankspam

Hi Bibliomaniac15, very very belated thanks for your support in my RFA, which passed by an embarrassingly wide margin, there's a full glitzy Oscar style version of my acceptance speech here. The advantage of averaging two or three thanks a day is that I've already clocked up loads of admin actions and can sneak in some awkward queries with my thankspam. So could I possibly trouble you for your feedback on my actions re this? ϢereSpielChequers 22:09, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Bot flag

I realise that it's a joke and all that, but bear in mind that the last time I jokingly added a bot flag to my own account, all my rights were nearly removed by a steward since someone thought my account was compromised. Then I got a few lectures about abuse... --Deskana, Champion of the Frozen Wastes 00:28, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: My day

Cool, thanks! I really appreciate that. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Likewise! Thanks for the honor, Biblio! Much appreciated. :) GlassCobra 02:27, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

A link

In case you wanted to see how I am as an admin. If you want, you can contact User:SB Johnny, a user who helps run Wikiversity and worked with me for a while now. You stated that you didn't think I would have the ability to work as an admin. If you look through my history and find anything problematic, please report it over at The Wikiversity Colloquium or The Wikiversity Custodian Feedback. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:05, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I've always believed that you were technically knowledgeable. I don't doubt that you would be able as an admin in that regard. But I don't feel that I can trust you. Sorry. bibliomaniac15 04:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I don't care about that. I don't trust myself half the time. You just raised a concern so I just thought I would provide links in case it was a major concern. :) Ottava Rima (talk) 04:33, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

things that make me go hmmmm

Us admins? Are you hinting that there actually is a cabal? ;) — Ched :  Yes?   : ©  05:57, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

You also nearly got the help desk deleted by categorizing it instead of linking the category. :-p -- Mentisock 10:27, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

me? — Ched :  Yes?   : ©  11:45, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

No Ched not you, it was Bibliomaniac who accidentally prodded the helpdesk. Mind you if an admin had deleted the helpdesk they would probably have got a trout almost as fast as the page was undeleted. PS There is no cabal, and neither you nor Biblio are in it yet. :-) ϢereSpielChequers 12:47, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Awww bummer man. I wanted to be part of the cabal. Maybe next year ;-( — Ched :  Yes?   : ©  13:56, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Oops, I did forget to format the cat link. :P Sorry about that.

Also, Ched, I'm going to have to kill you now. You've heard too much... bibliomaniac15 20:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

The trip

Hi Biblio. Yeah, the trip was great. Costly and exhausting but worth it. Back to reality now though, trying to catch up with work and home life again.... Hope all is well with you? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Newsbank

Hey there Maniac, I noticed that you added yourself to Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Shared Resources as having access to Newsbank. I have an article under development in my userspace at the moment, and I have a list of articles I have been trying to get a hold of from Newsbank so that I can provide more details, which I am certain is contained within the articles. The list of articles I am looking for are at User:Russavia/Requests. Might you be in the position to be able to please help with supplying these to me, on email I guess. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Cheers, --Russavia ^Dialogue 18:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I've sent you an email so you have my email address for ease if they helps any. BTW, advertising you have access to Newsbank, could be a dangerous exploit for yourself, as you have just found out. Cheers, --Russavia ^Dialogue 19:18, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Impersonator

I was looking through recent changes on Meta when I saw this. It looks like someone trying to impersonate you. So far, he has only made one edit across the WMF wikis. GT5162 ^{(我的对话页)} 10:27, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

By the way, you forgot to mention the username of the person impersonating you in your report. GT5162 ^{(我的对话页)} 17:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I have redirected Bibliomanic15's user and talk pages on meta to yours, but you still need to register the account if you want to make sure no one else can take it. GT5162 ^{(我的对话页)} 17:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Confused user names

On the 3rd, you fulfilled a request to rename User:Haseo445 to User:DeathBerry. Wouldn't this mean the Haseo445 should now technically no longer exist? Yet this user is now editing under both user names, including on the same topic. When editing as Haseo445, he is using a signature of DeathBerry, so I thought he was incorrectly using a fake name because of it and moved his user page before finding the name change request was fulfilled. Because of his editing the same pages with both, it appears to be socking (even if seemingly harmless because of the signature), but it is certainly confusing. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:01, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay...now this is getting weirder and weird. Haseo445 noted on Talk:MÄR that he thought it was too "hard to find" and was going to move it to Talk:MÄR (manga). The move, however, was then performed by User:Linder1990 2 minutes later, without a word exchanged between them and using a similarly worded edit summary. Looking at their user pages, they are very much the same...I'm starting to smell something socky here, though why I can't figure out. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Username usurpation....

You may already be aware since you patrol that page, but sometime during the day tomorrow (4/9/2009), my username will be changing to 2 per my Usurpation request here (I would have done this change months ago but I wasn't even aware this process existed until recently).

It doesn't look like this should have any effect on my Admin Coaching page, since this page is in my userspace, (according to WP:USURP) it should move along with my username change - but letting you know ahead of time just in case, also so you won't be surprised when my signature changes all of a sudden :). -Senseless!... says you, says me 21:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

The usurpation didn't go as planned apparently...

When I attempt to sign in as 2, this message comes up:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "User::saveSettings". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'Mr Senseless' for key 2 (10.0.6.22)".

I'm not sure what happened, all my contributions and userspace (everything but my talkpage for some reason) transferred over from Mr Senseless with no problems. I know I was editing right as the changeover took place, and User:NawlinWiki completely blocked Mr Senseless (including account creation, email, editing talk page, etc...) out of fear it was compromised, so I don't even have Special:Emailuser access right now. Do you have any ideas? 209.51.79.27 (talk) 03:36, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll give it a day or so. 209.51.79.27 (talk) 03:40, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
