[edit] commons:User:Syrthiss

I assert that I am the same person as User:Syrthiss on commons. Syrthiss 13:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Block

Here, it looks like you made the block anon only- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:NYkid0709 I don't think you meant to do that. JoshuaZ 20:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

? I thought that anon only did nothing when blocking a user account, only when you block IPs. *goes to read up on WPBLOCK*. Syrthiss 02:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Yep, per WP:BLOCK

Block anonymous users only prevents anonymous users from the target IP address from editing, but allows registered users to edit. Prevent account creation prevents new accounts from being registered from the target IP address. These options have no effect on username blocks.

Unless it doesn't actually work that way in practice? Syrthiss 02:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Nope, you appear to be correct. I didn't know the blocking tool was that smart. I should pay more attention. JoshuaZ 03:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

*whew* I mean, I block a lot of vandal accounts... Its kind of my thing. I would have banged my head on my desk for a few hours if I had been doing it wrong ever since those changes went in. ;) Syrthiss 12:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can you check to see if this user has personally attacked me?

User:Danielpi has been blocked for a week in the past by the arbitrators for personally attacking me. Last night I think he personally attacked me again by stating "Of course, I wouldn't want to infringe upon wiki's tradition of love, charity, and respect; so, I feel I should clarify my position insofar as I absolutely DO NOT regard Dionyseus to be 1) a blight on wikipedia, 2) a mental degenerate, 3) incapable of lucid reasoning, or 4) incapable of language use. He is certainly none of those things." Today he repeated the attack. Dionyseus 02:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I would agree that there is no other way to interpret that. It appears per his userpage that Danielpi has quit wikipedia sometime between you leaving this message and now. If I may ask, why did you ask me in particular to look into this? I'm just curious. :) Syrthiss 15:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into it. I chose you at random from a list of administrators. Dionyseus 21:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my page. --Nlu (talk) 19:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Anytime. ;) Syrthiss 19:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SWG?

So you played Star Wars Galaxies? Which server were you on? :) Siyavash 18:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Persistent long-term IP vandal 204.38.132.248

You've blocked this IP before: 204.38.132.248

Based on samples, this IP makes info smudges (changes names and numbers, adds typos), at infrequent intervals. Most recent smudge is Annie Oakley (diff). Milo 22:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just when you thought you were out ...

they pull you right back in. A CfD closure that you did a year ago has become a central issue in this deletion review. You may wish to comment at the deletion review. Please bear in mind that "No good deed goes unpunished." : ) -- Jreferee 16:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 4-time vandal: 207.241.242.150

You warned this person of blocking after his/her 3rd act of vandalism. Here's a 4th. Michael Patrick 14:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Alternate history games

Hi dude! Could you please recategorize all video games (I think it's pretty much all articles in this category) under Category:Alternate history games to Category:Alternate history video games? Thanks a lot --MrStalker 20:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. --MrStalker 14:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signature-Fixing

Syrthiss,

People keep asking me to 'fix my signature' but I don't know why its broken. If you have any helpful suggestions, a step-by-step method to 'fix' it, please advise.→ R Young {^yakł_talk} 23:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
