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)
- Ive been watching angela from the blue and other related editors all targeting the same articles. I have had some supicions about this editor as they seemed awfully familiar to a series of sock/meat puppets i indef blocked a while back. Yes it is supciious, yes i am watching. If things get back i will look into a check user to see if they really are a re-incarnation. I will look into this tommorrow. thanks for your concern. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 21:55, 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)
Improperly filed case.
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)

Good Faith
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)

- you can take it wherever you want. There is a current consensus against the images inclusion and i have not seen it change?Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 01:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- The image has been up for a while. It's not like this is a heavily edited article. The image directly relates to text in the opening page. What else do you want, and image of a lynching? I'm still at a loss for why you have taken a sudden interest in an article you've never edited on and decided to make a point. This is highly unusual. --evrik (talk) 01:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- I don't agree with a lot of what you've said, but I'll have to come back to this in a few days. ttfn --evrik (talk) 01:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar!
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)

- Awesome! A little wiki-love - encouragement - rewards through the wonderful things known as barnstars can really help alot in my opinion! Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 20:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Block
I changed the block on Fuc8kyourself (talk · contribs) to a hardblock based on his harassment of Waggers and his evident intention to continue. Acroterion (talk) 20:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

My talk page
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)
ownership of articles
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)
My article
How could you delete my precious article? I worked so hard on it! Kristy22 (talk) 19:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- I pressed the delete button, that is how I could. It was an empty article. I again ask that you please refrainf romc reation of derogatory, empty and nonsense articles or they too will be deleted. Thanks! Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 19:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Deleting articles
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)
Personal attacks

Wings Museum article, logo, and B-52 history
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)
- Already updated the webpage, see http://hometown.aol.com/cba1974/myhomepage/B52history.html. I will follow through with your other request. Lance. LanceBarber (talk) 04:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Zelda Templates
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)
- Done. IF there is anything else i can do for you, let me know. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 14:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you're really looking for something to do there is a duplication of the template on Ganon (protected) which could be fixed. Thanks again for all the work. Guest9999 (talk) 15:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Although I should point out that that request has been rejected so it might be better to wait until more (non-mop) editors can deal with it. Guest9999 (talk) 16:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yea, that is prob a good idea. When you feel it is ready for action, let me know and ill review and if necessary take that action. You know where to find me (Right here!). Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 16:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Spamming links
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)

Block
One hour?! Oh well I guess. Grsz11 19:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I always start short in these situations. If he continues after he has had time to read the polkicies, i have no problem dramatically increasing the duration of the block. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 19:05, 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)
- I guess I used the wrong term there. The block was directly used as a result of his diruption and lack of knoweldge of this projects policies. I called it a cool down block but it was not in relation to his anger, hwoever his lack of compliance. Hope this helps! . Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 20:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Aye. It's best to avoid even the appearance of abuse, though. Let's hope it works. Bovlb (talk) 20:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, i will more carefully choose my wording in the future. Thanks for the heads up! Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 20:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Kristy22
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)
- She had several several warnings. When a userpage is comprised of over 50% warnings, something is wrong. I always hate to block but sometimes it has to happen. Thanks for keeping an eye on the situation. If after the block there is another problem, you are welcome to drop a note here and i may get to it quicker than at AIV.

Help other user being Vandalous
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))
- I responded on your talk page. I will also keep an eye on the situation. In the mean time, i removed the db tag from the article. Thanks again for your contributions. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 19:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Username block on User:Larry Pressler
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)
- I cannot locate this template. If you can find it, you are welcome to replace it. I also have OTRS access, I will drop a line on the page giving the email link where they can prove there identity. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 20:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Never mind, I found it. {{Uw-ublock-famous}}. Thanks for the heads up on that. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 20:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn't even know there was a template. I had just seen the message left at User talk:Mattdrudge after I reported that username a while back. Thanks! Nesodak (talk) 20:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Never mind, I found it. {{Uw-ublock-famous}}. Thanks for the heads up on that. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 20:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

- I'm not completely certain why these usernames are rejected for WP:UAA. The name match is, save for the numbers, completely perfect. So far these kind of names are on a 100% ban ratio when i reported them. Besides, one admin even specifically noted that "User Names with a company name match are not allowed, since it can not be verified that the person posting respesents to company. Am i missing something here? Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 21:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- most of those names, without knowing that an article had been created cannot identify the what they are trying to promote. ALso, the username policy states, " Use of a company or group name as a username is not explicitly prohibited, but it is not recommended." I am more likley to block names that are blatantly company names (ending with ltd, co, etc etc). Other names, as long as we delete the article, give them no link and no promotional advantage. I do regularly block if i feel that the name is promotional enough to identify the company (I.E., a regular editor who saw the name knows that it is a company without knowing what they have contributed to). That is realy my test to determine if a username is truly promotional. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 21:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
The ridiculous note you sent me
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)
- And I can block you for violation of policies on any page as well. Please be more careful about the comments you make. Thanks. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 23:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Re:The ridiculous note you sent me
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)
- You do not own anything on this project. I blocked you for general disruption and incivility. If you keep going the way you are going now you may receive another temporary block as you apparently have not ready/understood the policies that we abide by that keep this project running smoothly. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 01:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Finally, she's blocked
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)
Lookinhere
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)
- I have a website titled chriskreider.com. Is signing my name with my full name promotional linkspam? Are his sites trying to sell stuff? THose are signs they ,may be bad. Personal sites are not as bad. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 04:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Is the mention of the sites allowed to stay? Grsz11 05:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- For now id leave it. Just keep the links out. THat is my preferences, you are welcome to ask another opinion though. My personal view is it is not hurting anything. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 05:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Though I do see countless usernames like this being indefinetly blocked. The only difference is he's contributing. I worked on James Avery (captain) some. I'm fine with it staying now, as notability was established during the AFD. Grsz11 05:31, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Also regarding the article, I think it's better title James Avery (colonist), like Thomas Lee (Virginia colonist). Captain seems so, I don't know, ambiguous I suppose. Grsz11 05:34, 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)
- Ill look into it in 15 minutes or so. I gotta get to work first. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 13:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- I dropped him a note. I hate to see things escalate but they clearly are. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 14:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Restarting Webpage for Bethesda Big Train
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)

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)

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)
Pitot-static system
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)
- I'll take a look at it tonight ... lunchtime is over. Askari Mark (Talk) 18:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Take a look – I've done a once-through the entire article. Askari Mark (Talk) 03:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Come on, yourself
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 dont care that you added it. I care that you started an edit war by reverting it again. If you were using it to explain the revert, then, explain it in the edit summary, dont just call it a null edit.Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 17:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, excuse me for making a mistake. Obviously, you haven't noticed yet that there is no "bot" in my username, and that of course I'm going to make the occasional mistake. As far as I know, it's an edit war if it passes 3 reverts.
- And discussion? It slipped my mind. Seriously... 21655 (憎) 17:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- We all make mistakes. As a part of that, it is always nice to have a friendly reminder dropped on our page in response. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 18:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- <conflict!> Ah, NOW I get it. Yeesh, sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I'm taking it out. It's funny how, instead of focusing on how I tried to crack a smile, people must chastise me on how I violated this policy and this policy, and forgot to do this, and this, and you still expect me not to get defensive! 21655 (憎) 18:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- There is nothing wrong with saying, yea ill go more careful in the future, or thanks for the heads up or any response like that when somebody brings something to your attention. Most people will bring things to your attention for your own good, so that you can grow and become a better editor on this project. I dont know any editor who, when dropping a friendly notice on somebodys page, gets a chuckle thing, "this is gonna be funny, im gonna chastise 21655 and watch him squirm, this is gonna be so much fun!." It is actually most often the exact opposite. By becoming overly defensive, you close yourself off from the rest of the community and discourage them from getting involved with you and helping you, which is a loss for you as well as the community.

- Too bad for me, I guess. See, this is why I do little other than fight vandals all day. 21655 (憎) 18:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- That is completley irrelevent to anything I have stated so far? Either you want to try and be a part of this community or you dont. If you choose that you do not want to be a part of this community, thats fine, just dont complain when you go against the communitys rules, policies and norms and somebody brings it to your attention. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 18:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Are these accusations of "irrelevence" [sic] becoming a habit? Perhaps you forgot the point I'm trying to make here is that I'm not prohibited from making honest mistakes? And also the fact that repeatedly telling me everything I say is irrelevant to everything is not exactly what I'd define as a "friendly notice"? This is where the "chastics" [sic] I mentioned comes in.... 21655 (憎) 18:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- They are only becoming habit as long as you keep trying to use straw man arguments in response to every time somebody drops a notice on your page. You have yet to address the issue you were notified about and instead have been babbling about how you arent perfect. I no where state or claim that you are any other editor are expected to be perfect and mistake free. So, that argument as a response to my notice is truly irrelevant. Again, my notice was NOTHING against you, just your actions. I don't care who did it, I would have given the same notice to anybody. Take it at that and leave it. For all purposes, I am done communicating with you over this issue. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 18:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Hayley Williams
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)
