So, if you want to accuse me of theft, then you sir, should get your facts straight first. As for -en-help, you are apparently no longer BKoS (BanKick on Sight), so apologies for that. At last check, you are not welcome back at 1803: 1323: 1275: 2341:, since late-August I've been focusing more on article edits rather than user and user talk space edits which amount to over 50% of my contributions, I have been an active participant in Village Pump discussions, having submitted 2 proposals, one in relation to bundled user rights and the other about decentralisation of the power vested upon the 2566: 2313:

quality improved significantly) in terms of Benjamin Franklin I didn't do much, I discussed suspected contradictions which I dismissed but were later reinstated, 1 contradiction had been removed as the information was irrelevant the other I'm not sure of what happened as there has been no discussion since.

3538:

Ok, so my review shows that you registered less than six months ago, but also that you have 99% of your contribs vandalism related. Well this is a good thing, it would be better to see some interaction with other users since abuse response is all about communication with the ISP. I'm not sure where I

966:

You are correct in one way, I'm not giving you that chance but that's nothing personal, it's just that your comments and behavior is not itself demonstrating an understanding what this project is all about; further, a contributor of two months just really cannot grok all of Knowledge policies... I've

3924:

With the stale, I mark them as declined, if they do not meet the above criteria, they are declined and sent to rejected. There are no special cases that I am aware of. For the IP 69.31.70.54 it belongs to NLAYER COMMUNICATIONS and I would contact abuse@nlayer.net and provide a report of the abuse. I

3093:

I can see why you would (mistakenly) think I was collecting hats. I don't quite understand what you have against the quality of my edits. I really don't make to many errors with CSD tagging or reverts. Sure I'll occasionally revert something accidentally that I shouldn't have. That is extremely easy

1365:

Thank you for your suggestions, and help; I am one who is open, and learns quickly. I just wanted to make it clear though, that when doing an whois on *this* ip address, and then doing a whois on the net block, the only non-physical contact information is for ATT. I do understand the responsible of

1268:

Good Evening. I see from the get go you have given me an ip from the ATT legacy IP range. 12.*.*.* was assigned to ATT back the in the 80's. Although, after looking at the ip's whois information, 12.130.11.160/27 , has been reallocated to TD Bank North(TD Bank). Even with this in mind, I would send

1191:

I would like to help with the constant threat of vandals, in any way I can. Vandals, are what make some people think WP is unusable, and we can't have that. I would like to help find means of blocking them, either here, or by contacting the right people. I also believe my background and training in

3856:

I hope to prevent further IP vandalism on Knowledge so our dedicated vandal fighters don't have to do so much work. I also would like to let the ISPs know when a client is doing harm in large quantities so possibly then can trace them and maybe find out other facts about them such as if they are a

379:

Hi Mr. R00t and thank you for your interest in this project. I think that I speak representatively here when I say that while your contributions have been largely positive and while you seem to grasp the technical requirements to contribute here, because you only began contributing since May, I'm

3827:

My main contributions are with the ACC so I am familiar with working with IP addresses and checking them for registrations for Username Violations and all other checks that go on. I also worked with AfC and ran checks there so I could understand to see if an IP was trying to make an article about

2796:

I revert vandlism on Huggle and have reported several usernames for breaching the policy, I also flag pages for CSD or newpage patrol when I am at school and can not access huggle. I am also in the IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help and respond to help requests when I can and just help out anywhere I

951:

Woah. I just realized how bad "eliminate" sounds. Yeah, I worded that bad. Sorry, I meant to say it more like this: "I think it'd be better for finding people who vandalize, and letting them realize it's wrong." Is that better? Oh yeah, Thorncrag, sorry to sound rude, but it seems like you're not

1916:

OK, yes, the ACC people hate me. Technically, it's ok to steal stuff onwiki as long as it is properly attributed. I suppose I am banned on -en-publicpolicy due to the same non-reason as -en-ambassadors, which you recently removed. I'm not going to make this a debate here, so if you want to argue

186:

I want to join the abuse response project because I pretty much already do a lot of it. Whenever an IP I've been reverting gets blocked I pull up a fairly intensive WhoIs report on some sites. I do this so that I can make sure it isn't any of my friends who might think that vandalizing would be

3071:

I'm afraid I'm going to have to oppose again. I have serious concerns over quality (versus quantity) of contributions, particularly deletion tagging error-rate, automated tool and revert mistakes. This might demonstrate you are trying to take on too much too soon. Also raises concerns about

2312:

My primary contributions thus far have been to the DragonFable, AdventureQuest, John Woodland Hastings (a hook from this article was featured on the DYK section of the Main Page), Benjamin Franklin and George Washington articles, the latter which I nominated for GA twice (failed both times but

980:

I see what you're saying. You know, maybe I did imply that I think I know all of the policies. But what I'm saying is that I've got better understanding of them, and try harder to follow them. But no one's perfect. That being said, I'd really like it if you were to ask me some questions. :)

380:

concerned that your editing history just isn't sufficient for me to be comfortable offering support at this time. Unfortunately as for me I must therefore very weakly oppose. I would most definitely welcome your re-nominination in a few more month's time. Cheers, and thanks again.

3117:

r00t is a very knowledgeable user and I think it'd be beneficial to have him join the project, the answers from his previous nomination were correct. The concerns Thorncrag raises should be taken on board, but I believe that his joining the project would be a net positive. So I

1178:

My experience spans what I have done over the past month really, but my technical background, and well-roundedness, I feel I have made a bent in vandalism on Knowledge; with my AIV's (either manual or automated), requests for check users (on WP, and on ACC), amongst other

567:

Sure I would send it to this email abuse@att.net. The abuse handle would be ATTAB-ARIN and the name would be ATT abuse. You could also use their phone number to report abuse which is 1-919-319-8130. Summarizing you would send it to ATT abuse at abuse@att.net.

2427:

has made many improvements since the last request. I still think that if accepted Fridae'sDoom should not jump in without wading in the waters and get a good look at the nuances and forms and emails of AR. At this time I can support this users acceptance.

the organization for there ip range, I did the research properly, but I was under the impression this exercise was for reading whois reports, not inferencing an abuse address. I only placed the extra comments, per an IRC conversation on the subject. REF:

3369:

There seems to be a mini backlog of requests, I'm presuming that it's because the team is not very active. Hence why I am nominating myself, to get rid of this backlog and to overall help the WP community by putting vandals "in their place" (per

524:

I do quite a bit to prevent vandalism. I use huggle and twinkle to revert any vandalism I see. I also warn them of their edits which constitute vandalism. If the offenders continue to vandalise after the final warning then I report them at

3149:- Taking in to account that 1234r00t has been increasingly active in ACC I think it would be best to concentrate in one area. You're getting a foot hold in ACC, I would get more at ease with working request there and then branch out. 1068:

Okay, I just want to say, thank you for all of your comments! Give me questions if you want. I can accept the fact that I'm denied, since I probably shouldn't have applied until I can completely read and understand a WHOIS report.

3032:

My primary contributions are with automated tools that I use to fight vandalism. Occasionally (I've done two) I'll do a GA review. I'm thinking about nominating a few GA in the near future. I've also begun to do New Page patrol

3057:

Prolific IP vandals are extremely annoying since we don't usually indef block IPs. This means that while someone is obviously a vandal only IP we still allow them to edit. Most admins won't indef an IP in case it is a

2813:) which I didnt know about until i checked my talk page, I have used Huggle to revert vandlism edits. Some of which can be humerous, I have tried AWB but it did not make much sence and when I get stuck, I usualy use 1347:

Actually, it is. Next time, try a proper lookup with ARIN searching for that specific IP. In the report, below the main range, will be the more specific range. Look in there, and you will see the proper contact.

898:

Answer to #1: Well, I've realized you should think on something before you act. When I applied a month ago, I really didn't think way too much about what I did on Knowledge. Now I'm more "mature" on Knowledge.

1165:

I mainly battle vandalism on WP, I am an active helpdesk-monitor, I particulate in the account creation process, although editing wise, I edit when it is project related, or really if I feel I can help in the

2833:

When reverting I see vandels who ignore the warnings and last for quite a while adding in the same type of vandlism into pages and then when they are blocked they come back and do it again. I have said in

174:

As I said, I have rollback and reviewer permissions. I use Igloo by Ale jrb to find things to use rollback on. I no what is and what is not vandalism well and always warn people I revert (thanks to Igloo).

1224:

I believe in most cases it is a good rule, but I believe that exceptions can be made, and I feel my background can help. Also, my contribs may of jumped recently, but I have had my account since 2007.

3867:

In what circumstances would you accept a case or decline a case? Is there any special cases? Also could you do a whois for 69.31.70.54 and tell me the contact and any other relevant information? --

206:

For the following 2 IP addresses, please tell me who the ISP or company is, and who you would contact regarding long term abuse from these addresses (Include Contact Name, Email, and Phone number):

2337:

This is my second nomination, I feel that between now and my prior nomination that I've grown in experience, I know the way Knowledge works and I have a solid knowledge of most of Knowledge's core

1192:

telecommunications and network administration, plus my general knowledge of Unix based systems and various networking web-based tools would help me file reports and help wiki become safer for all

3345:

I mainly help fight vandalism on WP with good ol' Huggle. Any issues arising from this are sorted very quicky (as I always respond to posts on my talk page, esp. if they are about the reverts).

2325:

I've been a rollbacker since July 2010, due to technical restrictions on my laptop I've been unable to use Huggle and as such I've been using Lupin's anti-vandal tools since early October.

913:

Answer to #2: Alright, you could send it to abuse@proxad.net. Their phone number is 1.73.50.20.00, but if you're calling from anywhere outside of France, you'd dial: (33) 1.73.50.20.00.

713:

Did good on the question Thorncrag asked (which nobody gets it right the first go anyway! :P). Reviewer, Rollbacker, and a decent contribution history. Apparent willingness to support

3844:

I run checks for ACC on IP addresses for username violations and also have, as stated above, ran checks at AfC to see if a company was attempting to create an article for themselves.

3946:

Actually you probally won't get a response because it's a proxy for AnchorFree. Otherwise is sounds good. One thing to note, please always CC the mail list in anything you send. --

618:

Sure no problem, I think I get it now. You would sent it to the corportation at Handle: NETWO10-ARIN Name: Network Provisioning Phone: +1-800-876-2373 Email: iptool@attens.com

1644:

I see that your edit count has been lowing recently, and sometimes we can get flooded with cases. Is your activity lowering or is it lack of interest in other wikipedia works? --

936:

30 days != "a few months", nor does 30 days likely provide the maturity for fully understanding Knowledge policies. Sorry. Also, Abuse response is not for "eliminating people".

3832:

but mainly work with the technical site of Knowledge. i also have been a long time vandal fighter so I know what it is like to have people with IPs making numerous vandal edits.

3595:

The report would be rejected if there is no recent actions from the account/IP and/or no blocks are currently on the account/IP or the acceptant criteria above are not met. -

3925:

would then await a response and if I got a "personalized" one, would forward it to the mailing list. Please make me aware of any special cases or anything I may have missed.

Hello Mr. R00t I would like to support Thorncrag's observations. I also feel you would be a good contributor to this project. I hope you do re-apply in a few. Cheers

1281:, in most other cases where IP's are reallocated or in most cases directly allocated, they may deal with abuse themselves. I hope this answers your question. -- 3094:

to do when using automated scripts. Please expand on what you mean by "brushing up on a bit of the wider breadth of Knowledge policies" on my User talk page.

833:, and at some points the user creation log. So I guess that would mean my main contributions are tracking vandalism, and doing the right things to the vandal. 541:

I want to join the team to help clear Knowledge of vandals who will not stop. I also would like to join so that I can help rid Knowledge of long time vandals.

Let me state that, TD Bank has no information regarding abuse in there record, it redirects to ATT Enterprise. Otherwise, I would contact TD Bank directly --

Hi, I mainly work in anti-vadalism, new page patrol and recently account creation. I also some times work on clearing backlogs. I occasionally dabble in AfD.

4146: 75: 63: 3234: 2188: 845:

My experience is warning people, reporting people for vandalism, and some various things! I like to use Twinkle, and I have rollback and reviewer rights.

2483:

The user has shown improvments since last application, but I urge caution as not to jump in, but overall I think this user will do fine here at AR. --

3253: 2207: 4015:

Yes I am sure, I have thought about that and am dropping off some things for the time being so I can experience this, another aspect of wikipedia.

3729: 2916: 1638:

I'd like to get behind the thoughts of persistent vandals, and their motivations. I'd like to devise some new methods for dealing with them.
