User talk:Bulbaboy~enwikibooks

Hey and welcome
Hey! I remember you from Wikipedia's w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Pokédex! So, do you want to help out the Pokémon book on this side as well? If so, then put your name up at Pokémon:Contributor's Guide! We can always accept more help here... KelvSYC 05:38, 23 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I haven't really been on Wikipedia for a while ^^;. I'll check it out, see if there's anything I want to add - and I did notice you've got a section on the TCG, I'll have to have a crack at that :). - Bulbaboy 06:19, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Re: User:Ivyboy
Possible? Yes. Likely? You're right- probably not. Still, there's little harm in trying to bend him into shape rather than blocking him right away. That's why I'm going to keep an eye on him for any more 'funny business' so I can block him right away if I see that he's not willing to cooperate and learn. -Frazzydee|&#9997; 12:37, 23 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Ivyboy continued his disruptive behavior, as you predicted. I've blocked him for 24 hours, but it'll probably deserve a one week block if he does it again.  Oh well, it was worth a try :). -Frazzydee|&#9997; 16:18, 23 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I noticed that he said he was going to "update this on wikipedia," so I've registered the wikipedia account "Ivyboy." I don't plan to use it- I just wanted to make sure he didn't get it. Please email me for the password, if you want it. -Frazzydee|&#9997; 16:29, 23 May 2005 (UTC)


 * No problem :) I've protected your user page only against moves; that should probably be sufficient. Most people are okay with it, especially if it's just against moves (there's no reason for anybody to move a user page).  Mind you, some people might complain if you fully protect it- that's usually only done if a page gets a lot of vandalism. -Frazzydee|&#9997; 23:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)


 * He did the same thing on my wikipedia talk page...thanks for reverting. You should be proud to have your own personal imposter :D.  I did a whois on the IP, and it looks like the abuse email is "Bamam.Forum@mail.biu.ac.il".  I think that a lot of the edits coming from the IP look alright, so I don't think that we need to take such drastic action yet.  I personally don't mind people vandalizing my talk page so much that I would even block them, but other editors are usually very different about it; therefore, I'll block if ivyboy vandalizes somebody else's talk page, user page, or articles, but I don't plan to block if they're just vandalizing my talk page.  Thanks for your message :) -Frazzydee|&#9997; 02:22, 27 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually there seems to be no evidence that blocking that one IP address will lead to the entire university being blocked. Unless I'm reading this wrong, the university owns all IP addresses from 132.70.0.0 - 132.70.255.255.  They probably have one IP for each computer or building, etc.
 * They could have one IP shared between all of them, but that's probably unlikely. I tried unblocking the auto-block anyways, and I think that it worked, but I'm not certain. -Frazzydee|&#9997; 23:58, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I guess that's possible, and it sounds like it from User142's comments. But that seems really weird to me...why would they have so many IPs but only use one? I read his comment again, and it looks like maybe that IP is used for the computers in one, publically-acessible room.  I'm not sure.  I tried unblocking the autoblock on Wikipedia, and it doesn't seem to have come back.  If not, then maybe we can try just blocking the username and not the IP. -Frazzydee|&#9997; 01:10, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

A coment for Wikipedia - Dittoboy won't let me post it
Could you please post the following in my name on the Pokeproposal page at Wikipedia? ****I agree that the clicking to go forwards and backwards is important. This is one of the reasons that I put in Stubs for Pokemon who didn't have pages, and added the tables to articles that didn't have them.  User142 06:44, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll post it for you. Also added a note that says I posted it for you. - Bulbaboy 23:50, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Bulbaboy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bulbaboy~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:04, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
