Could you delete my userpage, [[User:Canderous]] and the page [[Canderous]]? Thanks [[User:Canderous|Canderous]] 05:16, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

:: weil ich dabei bin, die Benutzer nach [[:category:Timezone|Zeitzone]] zu ordnen, damit sie leichter verstehen, warum jemand anders gerade nicht aktiv ist oder nicht auf eine Mitteilung achtet. [[:Category:Timezone UTC-5|Deine]] ist also z.B. um 7 Stunden gegen [[:Category:Central European Time|meine]] versetzt. Deshalb muss ich jetzt auch Schluss machen. Beste Grüße! --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 17:22, 11 October 2007 (EDT)

Hi David, seeing Peu's frustrated message (cuz I was going to add a bunch to the page :-)  - I thought, maybe I could do something about my guilt and organize a time (an hour) to work with you and whoever else wants to put a dent into [[Wikis to Add]].  You up for a hour together on the [[wiki]], maybe on skype or irc too?  Peu or anyone else, interested?  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Excellent.  Certainly I agree with Peu that it is better to have a full page on each wiki, rather than a one-liner in the [[Wikis to Add]].  And if we could motivate people to do that, then that would be the best all around.

Could you help with the infobox on the [[Wikitubia]] article? --[[User:Yowling wolfie|Yowling wolfie]] 13:43, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Hi, I have a quick question.  When measuring a wikis [[Template:Size|size]], do we go by total pages? (I.e. all the talk pages included) or just articles?  Thanks. - [[User:Jacjohncoles|Jacjohncoles]]^{[[User_talk:Jacjohncoles|Talk]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/Jacjohncoles|Contribs]]} 19:44, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

: Does the discussion at [[Talk:WikiProject:By Size]] answer your question?

it is [[:Category:GreatFeature]] - Best,  [[MarkDilley]]

:: Sean, I've put the {{tl|delete}} template on her user pages, and in a week or so I'll delete them.

I blocked an unregistered user because the user made unpleasant or harrassing comments about someone else in the deleted article, [[Dave muistaine]].  I don't know if it was friendly teasing or a serious attempt to blacken someone's reputation but I feel the rule should be that when aparently inocent third parties are involved the accused should not get the benifit of any doubt.  In any case this wiki isn't here for schoolkids or childish adults to call others names. It seems this is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Mustaine Dave Mustaine], I don't like his music but I'm not sure we should let people insult him here. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 13:43, 24 June 2009 (EDT)

: Yes, this looks like a childish grade-school insult. I agree that such things should be immediately deleted, and the person who said it banned for a short time. But I have hopes that such children will soon learn that such things are unacceptable, and learn to be productive -- and so I don't want to ban them forever. On the other hand, spammers who flood a page with dozens of off-topic links -- I am tempted to ban them forever. However, I don't want to unnecessarily block innocent users who use dynamic IP addresses that were once used by a spammer. I would appreciate your thoughts on which actions should trigger a ban, and for how long, at [[WikiIndex:Blocking Policy]]. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 20:07, 7 July 2009 (EDT)

: You are stirring up trouble and harming this wiki. And now that one administrator has already declined to join you in your personal vendetta, you're running away for help from other administrator. Maybe you should [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=RationalWiki&diff=67377&oldid=67368 listen to Peu]?

[[User:Jonah Musto]] has been [http://www.wikiindex.org/Special:Blockip/Jonah_Musto blocked] for six months after repeat vandalism which ordinary users cleared up.  I’ve also had this experience of trying to sort out vandalism on [[wiki]]s where I’m not a [[sysop]] and it’s very frustrating.  See, [[User talk:Proxima Centauri#User:Jonah Musto]] I wish I’d blocked him for longer the first time he got blocked. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 14:55, 19 August 2009 (EDT)

I've blocked another likely sockpuppet of JM and deleted more copyright images of ceiling fans.  We need to patrol this wiki often at the moment but too much discussion feeds trolls. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 15:02, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

I threatened to block [[User talk:Phantom Hoover|Phantom Hoover]] because I feel this user is harassing me across [[wiki]]s.  Further people need to know where criticism of [[Conservapedia]] can be found now that [[RationalWiki]] is down and the Hoover [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=RationalWiki&diff=68958&oldid=68931 removed] this information.

:: On many wikis you wouldn't be an administrator after this kind of thing. I have justified my removal's of content. I did not remove meaningful content, in fact I added the backup thing instead of a quote. I am not trolling. [[User:65.60.53.250|65.60.53.250]] 15:52, 23 August 2009 (EDT)

:: (ec) Rude, that? Which part, that you were inhospitable? Isn't that true: you reverted an editor on sight without any explanation, then threatened him with a block. Then you reverted and blocked me without warning and justification. I have sent emails to Mr. Ernst and Mr. Stanton, and I hope one of them will reply. Also, I won't lower myself to your level and block you at RationalWiki, but I will remove your sysop rights there as you are clearly incapable of using these powers properly, as you have demonstrated before.

Hey David, wanted to see if you were interested in dispute resolution, my suggestion is [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AThis_is_not_the_solution&diff=69572&oldid=69536 here] ~~ [[MarkDilley]]

Can you please re-add the descriptions to the Liberapedia, RationalWikiWiki and Conservapedia articles, as they contained nothing whatsoever controversial. [[User:Phantom Hoover|Phantom Hoover]] 11:14, 8 September 2009 (EDT)

Hallo David, just noticed your message here via Meatball. You could have SlideWiki.net transferred by FreeGainsharing as depicted in http://aboutus.org/FreeGainSharing, http://aboutus.org/SocialDomaining and '''http://aboutus.org/2pen.org''' (abstracting from the fixed price offer there). If you enter the WikiConversation in one of the above aboutus.org pages, I get an email-notification. (Currently Meatball appears to be defunct (at least) for me, and this in edit- as well as in discussion-mode. If you happen to see Mark, give him a friendly nudge to remind him, that I am waiting for his response).

See [[User talk:ht14|here]]. Is that policy also here? [[User:Ht14|ht14]] ([[User talk:Ht14|talk]]) 19:19, 27 October 2010 (PDT)

Please check out [[WikiIndex:NewLogoDecision]] and [[WikiIndex:Spring 2011 Upgrade Path]], Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Again, thank you for your visit, my apologies for the glitch and a promise to let you know when I get it fixed!  --[[User:ScottSchaefer|&#91;&#91;Scott Schaefer&#93;&#93; &#124; &lt;small&gt;&#91;&#91;User talk:ScottSchaefer&#124;talk&#93;&#93;&lt;/small&gt;]] 10:00, 25 September 2011 (PDT)

: WARNING - David, forgive me for butting in - but I need to alert you to the fact that [[User:ScottSchaefer]] is basically a spammer!  Virtually all of his [[Special:Contributions/ScottSchaefer|edits here]] on [[WikiIndex]] primarilly contain URLs to his own external sites - including his commercial blog and his commercial site for website design (which also offers SEO optimisation) - they contain NO 'internal' WikiIndex wikilinks.  Yes, granted, he has created an entry on here called [[LexingtonWiki]] - but that too (on here) was full of external URLs - primarily relating to his own commercial enterprises, rather than any actual content on his 'wiki'.  Finally, looking directly at his LexingtonWiki - it is both plagued by spam (including the usual medications for 'erectile dysfunction'), along with many entries blatantly copied and pasted directly from the [[English Wikipedia]] (presumably to somehow 'boost' his viability of his 'web sites' by inflating his page count).<br>I personally would recommend leaving the [[LexingtonWiki]] article on here (it is afterall a viable wiki - albeit an extremely unethical one!) - but block [[User:ScottSchaefer]] - on the grounds that he tried to use WikiIndex to blatantly peddle spam by subversively inserting non-wiki URLs into a wide range of articles (primarily userpages, sub-userpages, talkpages and images).  Just my recommendation - and although I may only be a 'regular editor' (rather than a sysop), I hope you can agree that I have been a trustworthy editor, and one which is making [[:Category:Active contributors to this wiki|an active and positive contribution]] to WikiIndex - by both improving articles, and improving 'housekeeping' of templates, categories and the likes.  Best regards  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 15:11, 30 December 2011 (PST)
