Welcome to my discussion page. I welcome all sorts of stuff here, rantings, criticisms, etc. But please obey the Wikipedia rules for user talk pages; I don't engage in an edit war or something, nor do I delight in vandalizing, OK?

Here are the rules for my talk page:

• If you start a new discussion here, I'll reply on your talk page or here.
• Please sign by adding ~~~~ at the end of your message when you post here.
• If you're here to complain about what I did, and you're new here to Wikipedia, please, read the rules first. It is likely that the reason why I reverted or revised your edits is either due to POV problems, vandalism or fanboyism; if you're a fan of an actor or actress and you would like to edit their respective articles, please, keep your fanaticism or obsession with your idol(s) to an acceptable level. Asking me to allow you to continue POV-pushing or doing anything else that is contrary to the policy won't do anything good.
• Stay cool; flaming me or others won't do good either.

God Bless, and happy editing! Blake Gripling (talk) 10:41, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmm...

...now that you mention it, those do look like vidcaps. I may have to revisit this issue. Thanks for pointing this out. Let's see what this guy has to say. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:14, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

OK, he's toast. I saw the sockpuppet investigation. I knew I'd seen another user obsessed with that singer. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

• You bet. I'm going to make those photos go away and semi-protect the article in a moment. Talk about obvious regarding the sockpuppet. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:25, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Done. One question: Should I delete his .ogg audio files too, I wonder? This is kind of borderline since they're in a legitimate audio format and under legitimate license. If you'd like for me to leave them be, feel free to put the links back in the article. I think the current version lacks them. I went way back before this guy showed up. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:40, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I just played back a couple of them; the sound quality is awful. Way overmodulated and they start and end abruptly with no fades. AFAIC, they're probably OK to go back in the article, but they should be replaced with clips of better quality down the road. Gotta run; thanks so much yet again for your incredible work.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:13, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

PS: One more thing before I cut out of here:

		The Original Barnstar
		To Blakegripling.ph for consistently fine editing and vandalslaying, it is my privilege to bestow upon him this Original Barnstar with all of the rights and privileges afforded therein. So there.  :) PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:15, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Yah, mon! You done deserve it. Break open da Rad Stripe an' celebrate! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 07:02, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey!

Hey there! I saw your past edits in the Sarah Geronimo page and since you fight vandalism, can you please make an action to the IP user/unknown user who keeps vandalizing the said article? I'm sick of that user who keeps vandalizing that page. I visit his/her talk page and it appears that there are several complaints about his unconstructive edits.--White paladin888 (talk) 11:24, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for patrolling my talk page,[1] I suspect the apparent vandalism was an actually a good faith attempt to communicate with me! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:52, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

YOu might be better off filing a SPI case on this user. Blueboy96 14:57, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

User talk:58.69.8.100

Hi there. Regarding User talk:58.69.8.100, removal of warnings etc. from a user's own talk page is not against any policy (unless the editor is subject to editing restrictions). Editors may remove warnings from their own talk pages and such changes should not be reverted. This is not necessarily reflective of my opinion, but it is in accordance with WP:OWNTALK; however, you can ask the user to not remove warnings.

Thanks, Can You Prove That You're Human (talk) 06:44, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

TWINKLE ON MY EDIT TO Standby dual-SIM phones

Being a new user I am struggling to understand why you have seen fit to twinkle? me for a legitimate edit where I have attempted to include the descriptive terms '2G Digital Dual Sims' AND 'Ghost Dual Sims' both of which I felt were necessary to explain a paragrah within Standby dual-SIM phones. This in a section of an article hitherto unreferenced and one not using terms that can be used to investigate them further in a specific way in the net. I referenced both in GOOD FAITH with searches illustrating same; thus giving readers the option of looking at sites illustrating these terms which have not made the dictionary yet, this without actually sending them to any particular sales site. They can choose your own. How else are they to be explained or rferenced in such a case. Am I right in assuming that you have reported me to authorities for spam and vandalism and presumably consequential disciplinary action.? 13:23, 13 October 2010 (UTC)BeckenhamBear (talk)

Quack!

I'm thinking that was our old friend Jerry based on his edits to that actress's article. Thanks for letting me know.  :) PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:48, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Regine Velasquez page

Russart 1999 keeps putting back unsourced and biased claims in the article. he even sends me a warning but it's him who keeps vandalising the pages of Regine Velasquez, Regine Velasquez discography, and List of best-selling albums in the Philippines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.85.147 (talk) 12:16, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 1DOL (chapter 1) and 1DOL (chapter 2)

I removed the prod tags you placed on 1DOL (chapter 1) and 1DOL (chapter 2), because per WP:CONTESTED once a prod tag is removed, even if by the article creator and even if in bad faith, it should not be replaced. Compliance with policy is the only reason I did this; I have no opinion on the merits of deletion and no prejudice against nominating at AfD. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:27, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey

What's new? I just expanded this. PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 03:31, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Nit picking

I would have put G3 - hoax/vandalism on all of the Koolboy2001 (talk · contribs) AfC submissions. You put G1 - nonsense on some which was not quite right. — RHaworth (talk · contribs)

A barnstar for you!

Re: Your AIV report on Ltrain99

Thank you for your report on Ltrain99 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log). I have however declined to block because that's their first warning, even if they did it once before. I have added a welcome template, though.

If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Cheers! -- Luk ^talk 14:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Long-term abuse

My understanding is that WP:LTA is only for extreme abusers, and I don't think Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Dragon2016 is appropriate. Has the user been formally banned? Is there an WP:ANI or other significant discussion of the case? Johnuniq (talk) 23:20, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Copied from my talk: There has been some talk about him before on User talk:WayKurat and several others, and his actions certainly qualify for being a long-term abuser. Blake Gripling (talk) 23:23, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Alas, Wikipedia has hundreds of trolls and vandals and disruptive warriors. Only long term abusers warrant a record at LTA. Dragon2016 (talk · contribs) only has four undeleted contributions made on two days in March 2011 and I cannot see any significant discussion of the issue. I see that an editor added a banned tag to the user page. If the user really is banned, there must be a discussion somewhere, and there should be at least be a link to that discussion. If you want to reply, here would be fine, and I do not need talkback thanks. Johnuniq (talk) 23:37, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

He seems to be de facto banned, perhaps since editors like Kurat and Materialscientist were generally fed up by his antics. There's an SPI page about him, and while he was stated to be only a moderate nuisance, I think this might escalate the more we keep on reverting what he does. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:53, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Johnuniq (talk) 03:16, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
