Hi. I hope I don't sound like I'm obstructing your progress to adminship, but I would like to see a slightly more clear consensus (one or two more votes perhaps) before I do, and then I'd be happy to do so - I hope you understand this. In the meantime, if there are any admin duties you need to perform, just let me know, and I'll try to take care of them as soon as possible. Dysprosia 05:31, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I see you are contributing to the Optics book and I have a question (I am working of FHSST Physics) about the link to the course notes at the top of the page. Have the notes been released so that they can be transcribed directly into WikiBooks under the GFDL?

If not - do you know if anyone has asked the author? FHSST Phyiscs is short its Optics chapter and I am relatively desparate to get something in and so am considering asking the author of the course notes if he will release them under the GFDL to us but I just wanted to check the status first.

Ivyboy needs to be banned
Since you seem to be around right now and I still can't take care of this myself...

Please ban User:Ivyboy ASAP. He has:


 * 1) repeatedly removed legit (justified, etc.) VfD notices
 * 2) repeatedly removed VfD discussion instead of participating in it
 * 3) moved the User:Bulbaboy page over his own, making the users appear to be the same

I think you can consider all this to be his vote against the pages he has created (copyright violation), so that all can be quickly dealt with too.

AlbertCahalan 21:34, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Regarding your comment on AlbertCahalan's talk page: Sure, go ahead and give Ivyboy a chance to redeem himself, if you think he should have one. Personally, I find it hard to believe (now) that he's just oblivious, but hey, you're the admin. - Bulbaboy 06:24, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Just now, after you warned him: AlbertCahalan 14:59, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) He wiped VfD discussion for a 3rd time.
 * 2) He made Bulbaboy's page a redirect to his own.

Ivyboy has been causing trouble again:

1) He removed the  tag from Wikibooks Pokédex:Ruby Sapphire Walkthrough 1|his walkthrough]] page. He masked this as a minor edit on one of the sections of his page, thinking we wouldn't look for changes elsewhere.
 * Note that this page is practicly identical to the pages I've listed in this tag. I've quoted the copywrite notice from the original walkthrough at the votes for deletion.

2) He deleted his own talk page. He masked this as a minor edit.

3) He copied all the text from Bulbaboy's page over to his, and changed Bulbaboy's page to a redirect. He masked this as a minor edit.

4) He deleted the Votes for deletion|votes for deletion]] for his walkthrough, masking this as a minor edit on one of the sections of his page, thinking we wouldn't look for changes elsewhere.

I reverted all his changes (no other changes have been made to these pages in the middle).

For your information, since you're dealing with him now.

Hey, thanks for registering the username Ivyboy on Wikipedia for me - and I don't need the password, all I want to know is that nobody's gonna use the account. I think I'll register Venuboy on both projects, too - it would be his last chance to get me with a similar name. Oh, and what's the policy on asking an admin to protect your own user page? I think I'd rather not have him redirecting it again... - Bulbaboy 20:47, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

The brittish boycott on Bar Ilan
I've succeeded in my goal to get Bar Ilan University to be unable to edit pages on Wikibooks for a day. You won't be seeing me again. (You may see some of my friends, and they may cause you to block out Bar Ilan indefinitely if they have enough patients...)Ivyboy 16:41, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, looks like we've just had the first of his friends come (see edit history: ). He even tried a Ivyboy - oh joy! We should probably contact Bar Ilan University so we can work this thing out (which would probably involve restricting computer access to these guy). And yes, I know you say not to revert the page, but I figured it'd be okay in this case (rather blatent case of malicious vandalism)... Oh, and to Ivyboy's friends: tell him to work on spelling, it's spelled "patience" in this case. - Bulbaboy 19:25, 26 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, he isn't the only Wikipedian/Wikibookian at Bar Ilan. I am an other user here, and I hope that his friends don't cause any long term proiblems with editing, since this is where most of my edits are from. The I.P. address 132.70.50.117 seems to be a computer through which all the computers at Bar Ilan, including some which anyone can use (there are rules which aren't enforced which say they are only to be used by students and for matters related to their studies).


 * By the way, I was involved with exposing Ivyboy's behavior (Starting with May 17th, when I found the illegal walkthrough, and put a comment on the talk page and asked at the study desk what to do) - I was the first to mention this anywhere in Wikibooks; I mentioned to Bulbaboy at Wikipedia that I believe Ivyboy tried to copy his name; I found the actual source of Ivyboy's walkthrough; I've restored the VfD/copyvio tag to the top of his walkthrough page twice; I recomended that Bulbaboy take the name Ivyboy at Wikipedia (I did this a bit over an hour before you reported taking that name there; I didn't think it it was right for someone other than Bulbaboy to take the name, since it's based on his).


 * I hope Ivyboy and his friends don't succeed in causing long term problems here for me.

 * Looks like Dittoboy form Wikipedia has found the time to lock up edits there to Bar Ilan, the same way Ivyboy did at Wikibooks. As soon as his block is up, he will probably be writing about the fact that you allowed him to do this.


 * By the way, I think the reason he didn't do it for the first 12 hours is that he is doing this from the university, and he maybe wasn't here at 9:17pm at night. (Classes here end at 7:30pm at the latest.) He did it this morning shortly after 10:00am.User142 07:19, 29 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I've just checked on the list of users of Wikibooks. There is a Dittoboy here to.User142 11:36, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

You've got *65536* IP addresses, and all it takes to prevent most of Bar Ilan from editing is banning one of those? Sheesh. Maybe you should complain to the staff, and try and get the guy(s) punished. Or at least have the university use the other IP addresses... - Bulbaboy 22:15, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Frazzydee, I know they've got the range from 132.70.0.0 to 132.70.255.255 - but the thing is, the way I'm reading User142's comment, it seems they are using the same IP address for most of the school. Which would be quite odd, of course, as that'd mean they wouldn't be using 65535 of them. Maybe 132.70.50.117 is the only address they let non-faculty use? - Bulbaboy 00:53, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

This page belongs to an idiot who believes in the academic boycott on Bar Ilan University.

 * I added the strikethroughs myself, because bulbaboy did not leave this message here. See 

Dittoboy at Wikibooks
I've just reverted several edits of Dittoboy's. He added the following text to several pages, including the user page and talk page of Jimbo Wales:

== Important Request == Unban the user JoeM from Wikipedia. Dittoboy (formerly Bulbaboy - I untransformed) 16:50, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've checked out who JoeM from Wikipedia is, and he had 24 sockpuppets, some of which did nothing other than ask that he be unbanned. One of those is Jimbo.Wales, a name to which Dittoboy moved Jimbo Wales's page to.

This is the second time he did this - the first time it was reverted by Uncle G.

He also reported himself on the Vandalism in progress page.

In addition, he copied over the text from Bulbaboy's page over to his own. Similarly, look at his signature.

I think he will do everything to get himself blocked for good, and bring Bar Ilan with him. We have to do something to make him fail. I'm sure he's thinking that you have given him the autority to do something that most users can't - to block any IP address he has access to.

 * Complain to the faculty? That might stop him.  I mean, they are running all the computers through a proxy (I think); all they'd have to do is start using more of their IP addresses (a few proxies, perhaps?), and they could narrow down the possibilities of who it might be.  Or at least let some of the people there edit Wikipedia. - Bulbaboy 23:52, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Your De-Adminship
Hello. I would like to inform you that you will have your sysop rights removed here on 1 Nov 2006 due to inactivity. If you would like to discuss the matter, please see WB:RFA. You can re-apply for adminship at a later date if you wish. Thanks. -within focus 21:29, 1 October 2006 (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 Frazzydee. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Frazzydee~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 23:10, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
