Thank you very much for the nomination, RickK! I humbly accept. Being an Admin would greatly help me with fighting vandalism, and I hope to be a good admin. -- Chris 73 | (New) Talk 05:16, 1 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Olive The artist formerly known as 195.188.152.16

User Chris 73 has alleged Made a number of edits to musician sites, mainly adding a link to [5] and subpages, and removing some probably valid information from the pages.

This is a serious allegation of removing some probably valid information. He should substantiate it.

I do admit (stupidly and I regret) replacing modemacs page after he reversed all the edits that I had taken a long while (and carefully) to add, which are informative and useful, and which are not in violation of any wiki-pedia guidelines that I can discover.

My contributions also cover several topics (as anyone can check).

He is unsuitable for admission until he substantiates his words, and until he stops taking a God-like approach to other caring contributors.

He caught no vandal !

Please be aware User:195.188.152.16 that anons don't have the right to vote in this debate, neither do people who don't sign their comments. -- Graham  :) | Talk 12:55, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Validated by Olive

Snippet from Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress:

Made a number of edits to musician sites, mainly adding a link to [1] and subpages, and removing some probably valid information from the pages. Now he is vandalizing the page of User:Modemac, who reverted his edits. His contributions:195.188.152.16 -- chris_73 01:38, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

End of Snippet

Adding links is no vandalism. Your actions on the page of User:Modemac was. Back then your actions were vandalism, and you got banned for a short period (not by me, I just alerted others to your actions). I see that you apologized to Modemac, and got a login as User:Olive. I think this is the right thing to do, and is promising for your future contributions. I'll contact you directoy on your talk page soon. -- Chris 73 | (New) Talk 14:49, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

My relationship with User:Olive is improving. Details on User talk:Chris 73 -- Chris 73 | (New) Talk 15:39, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Olive concurs and removes objection after reasonable consultation. If Modemac had taken more consultative approach this would not have started.

Please sign your comments (by typing four tildes, like ~~~~). It makes conversations easier to follow. Also, at the risk of sounding impolite: Try using short, complete sentences, and pay attention to your pronouns. I try not to criticize folks' writing, but I've honestly had difficulty understanding this thread. Thanks. Cribcage 17:43, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
