hey bong, i would like to apologize for this and " vandalizing" wikipedia. but i believe that Natalie De Cesare was one of the main producers and hasn't been given credit. i had the actual record disk and on the wikipedia there are 2 songs missing, which are "Natalie De Cesare baby" and as bonus tracks "Mama, Danny, and Chase". if you wish to make the page corrections and give credit to a poor innocent person that hasn't been given credit, then i believe that you would do something very good. please reply

• Bongwarrior deleted the page since whatever article was created was not notable. NHRHS2010 the student pilot ✈ 21:42, 28 January 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

See if this article can handle being unprotected again. — C M B J 14:36, 31 January 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

It's only been a week. I don't think it's time yet. --Bongwarrior (talk) 15:18, 31 January 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

I realize that, but I'm monitoring the page periodically throughout the day and I think the benefits potentially outweigh the risks at this point. We can always just re-lock if that turns out not to be the case. — C M B J 23:14, 31 January 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Okay, no harm in trying it. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:21, 31 January 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Two incidences of bad IP edits in ~21 hours; one attempt at inserting vandalism, one (accidental?) removal of the letter 'e' from the infobox. I'm fixing to hit the hay, so you might want to give it a quick run-by in a few hours to see how it's looking at peak times of day. Feel free to re-lock if things get hairy. — C M B J 15:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Sorry, but it wasn't working. I've reprotected it. --Bongwarrior (talk) 18:14, 2 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks for giving it a shot. — C M B J 09:04, 3 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

You recently blocked 74.98.249.151 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) (for which I thank you). I don't know if you did this in response to this WP:WQA thread or for other reasons, but he continues to be active on at least one of the other IPs he's used (see linked thread, and edit history at Battle of Monmouth).

I've blocked that IP as well, thank you for letting me know. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:21, 31 January 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

It didn't take him long for him to get restarted once the block lifted. His edit comments (at Battle of Monmouth and Southern theater of the American Revolutionary War are mostly cut/paste insults. Magic ♪piano 00:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

I've blocked them again, thank you. --Bongwarrior (talk) 01:06, 7 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

You might want to address the message at their talk page. Calabe 1992 01:08, 3 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks. --Bongwarrior (talk) 01:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Sorry, I hadn't realized that I had done that. I never used pending changes protection, even when it was in use. I've removed that aspect of the block. Thanks for pointing out my error. :-) Nightscream (talk) 20:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

You left your message right before I went to Wikipedia for the first time today. Coincidence. :-) Nightscream (talk) 21:02, 4 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi. I saw all the vandalism; thanks for protecting the page. Not sure why this is happening. Are you going to warn these accounts with some kind of template? All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:31, 7 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Not me, there are too many of them. Usually I would just go through the history and block them for raiding, but I didn't think that was necessary in this case. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:43, 7 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Dear Bongwarrior,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 16:13, 8 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
