Hiya. It's not really a specific number of edits or a particular length of tenure. You're clearly here in good faith. Demonstrate some use of the undo feature and give it a couple of weeks and I'll be happy to grant the tool. Pedro :  Chat  15:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Please take care with the undo tool.

• A good faith (and accurate) change to punctuation. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Short_%28finance%29&diff=prev&oldid=209673356]
• A perfectly good wikilink tighten. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_HSDPA_networks&diff=prev&oldid=209673082]
• A perfectly acceptable categorisation [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrian_Alston&diff=209668950&oldid=209668853]

Also, when reverting clear vandalism / spam (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Forthcoming_Madonna_tour&diff=prev&oldid=209668447]) it is a good idea to warn the user using a template. This makes other editors aware if there is a history or pattern of vandalism. Pedro :  Chat  11:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Editor_claiming_technical_abilities_relating_to_WP:RFCU_and_WP:ADMIN as I'm afraid I have asked for wider input on your editing and claims. Pedro :  Chat  13:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

:If you have the technical ability to get checkuser information, and to be able to make yourself an admin, then this would seem blockable for preventative reasons, yes. However I have asked for a deeper review, per the thread at WP:ANI which you may wish to comment on. Pedro :  Chat  13:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you please send me the program you meantion to Ryanpostlethwaite[at]hotmail[dot]com so I can verify you are telling the truth? Ryan Postlethwaite 13:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Admin probation? I don't know. You would need to find an admin and ask that question. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 13:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I have blocked this account for disruption and trolling. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Computermadgeek&diff=prev&oldid=209687470][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Edokter&diff=prev&oldid=209691248][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=209691996] The account should remain blocked until the user convinces an administrator that they will contribute productively.

It has been discovered that this user is a sock puppet of {{user|Chris19910}}. Compare [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sj&diff=prev&oldid=208996822] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29&diff=prev&oldid=209671630].

{{unblock reviewed|1= How the hell is this a proper block? This is not right being blocked for informing the technical guys about a potential loop hole in the system. Maybe next time i will keep my mouth shut so that some hacker can come along and take the whole of the site down. So do I get unblocked or not?|decline=No, you do not get unblocked. I've been watching your progress ever since you started here, and I do have a degree in computer science. You clearly haven't much of a clue what you're talking about, and on top of that, you have been proved to be a sockpuppet of a blocked user. That, in itself, is enough to ensure that you will not be unblocked. — Rodhullandemu 14:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)}}
