- Yes it's a proxy server, the section entitled "Innocent?" in the block message explains some of the problems surrouding this, and autoblocks this specific situation. I've removed the autoblock. --pgk(talk) 08:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page Editing
[edit] Dental armamentarium
I have notice that you are in the middle of creating an article. I would recomment that you place an {{inuse}} tag at the top of the page so it is not accidentally deleted. Also please see Wikipedia Style guidelines so you can make a great article. Welcome. Jon513 15:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks :)
[edit] Apthous ulcer
I have noticed your recent string of edits involving dentistry, and I am glad to see someone help contribute to this topic on wikipedia. You should know, however, your edits involving the topic of Aphthous ulcer are a bit far reaching. There is a method to move a topic to a new named article, and this is superior to copy/pasting the text since the histories are saved. Futhermore, anytime we think an article would be better named a certain way, there should be a message left on the talk page and time to garner consensus on the issue. I do not know what is going to be the best way to deal with the movement of/changes to the articles Apthous ulcer, Aphthous ulcer, and Mouth ulcer, but it may include undoing some of your edits until we get a consensus on the changes. - Dozenist talk 17:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ar... nuts. That took forever. Is there some other way of doing it without reverting it completely. I've added heaps of stuff including references (which were missing) in the old version of mouth ulcer (now aphthous ulcer; and i didn't delete any information just relocated it. I originally moved it to apthous ulcer by the way but then realised i'd done a great big typo D'oh... so the only way i could fix it was to copy and paste... i spose i should have asked an admin. Do you think any of the content is far reaching by the way? thanks for the compliment part :)(Bouncingmolar 07:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Your RfA
Hi Bouncingmolar. Can I very gently and with good intention, suggest you withdraw and run again when you're more experienced? If you do, when you run again, please drop me a line at my talk page. --Dweller 18:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I have a few suggestions :
1. You need more continuous experience
2. You need at least 5000 strong edits, and 3-6 strong months; we're not trying to bite you, but you just don't have enough experience yet.
3. Don't lose confidence in yourself as an editor - this is the first time I've heard of WikiProject dentistry, so we REALLY NEED you to STICK AROUND.
4. As Dweller said, you've got the potential and the makeup to be a sysop, but you're not enough experience.
Also, I, too, suggest you withdraw, since you will be withdrawn by a bureaucrat in a day or two.
Good luck with WikiProject dentistry, and I hope to see you on the RFA page in the summer! The Evil Clown 20:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RfA
Bouncingmolar, I don't think you need thousands and thousands of edits, just a few months of consistent contributions. The quality of your contributions are quite high, and I'm sure you will be admin'ed. Nominating yourself clearly took courage, and I hope you do not get frustrated with Wikipedia as a result. You are clearly an asset to the community, and I hope you will continue to make contributions as an editor in the short term and in higher capacities in the middle to long term.
You are absolutely right that the dentistry projects need some interested admins and you would serve well, I believe, in that capacity. They do not need to have tons of experience in vandalism fighting or XfD, but they do need to show competence in the bureaucratic process of Wikipedia. Many users, myself included, feel that this cannot be demonstrated in a month's time. I look forward to supporting you in June.

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Bouncingmolar
I have delisted your RFA as it appears you have withdrawn you acceptance. If I am incorrect, let me know and I'll relist it with a different timestamp. Thanks, Navou banter / contribs 03:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Crown and bridge
Thanx. See my response. DRosenbach (Talk | Contribs) 21:38, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Dr-G provides information on how others' edits are inferior to his perception of how things should be. The articles were is disarray for quite some time before I came along. Why does he make these statements only after I come and edit, instead of taking the initiative and editing the articles before I got there. Those were my questions to him.
