User talk:Cool Cat886

RickK, one of the admins, blocked my former accounts "User:Hil Duff" "User:Hil Duff star". He didn't give any reason why and totally ignored my comments on my talk page just because he thinks my user name would be something like imposting or vandalizing. I wanted to discuss things over with him, but he just deleted my account immediately without reason. I just want to be a happy Wikipedian here.

I AM NOT A VANDAL, and I won't be Hilary Duff, just Cool Cat886. I won't tell anybody that I am famous or a pop star. I just want to contribute in peace here, and YOU CAN BLOCK ME ONLY IF YOU SEE ME VANDALIZING OR ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING BAD, BECAUSE I DIDN'T. Would you support me and be my good friend, or should I just get blocked for eternity because I didn't do anything? Cool Cat886 07:21, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Plus, be sure to check out the contribs:

OK, well, people just don't want you to say you're Hilary if you're not. I'm sure if you don't use those accounts with her name, you'll be fine. Everyking 07:42, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I totally agree!! - Cool Cat886 21:55, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Vandalizing her article was probably not quite a good thing, either. Spamming several people's pages and then posting on the Village pump without directing your questions to me also indicates that you're really more of a troll than a User who wants to be a valid contributor.

Hi RickK!!! I wasn't vandalizing "her" article, it was a newbie test! (see here - after I accidentally deleted it, I felt sooo sorry to everyone! The proof: [1] ) I didn't actually expect the whole thing to disappear!! Well, how are you feeling today? I hope fine. It's a little cloudy here in L.A., but the weather won't get me down!! - Cool Cat886 21:55, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

However, her actions were possibly consistent with being genuinely un-knowledgeable of how this site works; when she blanked out the article, she seemed to think that it was permanently lost, not knowing how to use the history and revert features. Yes, this could have been an intentional vandal pretending to be ignorant, but it also could have been somebody just blundering around not knowing what to do and accidentally blanking the page and being unaware of how to revert it. As for the celebrity issue, what is a real celebrity supposed to do to prove their status? Dtobias 12:52, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Diary

Anyways guys, take a look at this - Cool diary by , becuase "she" actually wrote it. - Cool Cat886 21:55, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

She doesn't seem to update it very often, though. Dtobias 13:34, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

spamming

Please don't spam messages on talk pages ([2] etc). The best way to get away from your Hil Duff debacle is, believe it or not, to quietly start a new user, don't tell anyone you were the person who was blocked as Hil Duff, and then produce good edits and get on well with other editors on this site. Then we won't care who you once were, we'll be quite happy if we never, ever know and we'll welcome your good contributions for what they are. We can't tell anyway unless you tell us. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:23, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Well, sorry!! I was just a little freaked out. So I'll just be Cool Cat886 - whether you think I'm Hil or not, I don't care. - Cool Cat886 21:55, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You said "quietly start a new user, don't tell anyone you were the person who was blocked as Hil Duff, and then produce good edits and get on well with other editors on this site. Then we won't care who you once were, we'll be quite happy if we never, ever know and we'll welcome your good contributions for what they are."

But that would be like sneaky and a "recurring vandal", and I don't want to be senaky!! - Cool Cat886 21:55, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You wouldn't be a recurring vandal if you didn't vandalize wikipedia, would you? We do believe in giving people a chance to edit wikipedia and contribute good material if it is at all possible, so don't be scared. Have fun! --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:38, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

bye

Thanks for talking with me, have a nice day!! xoxo, - Cool Cat886 21:55, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I hope the 'bye' doesn't mean you're leaving... even if you got off to a rough start, I'd like to see you stick around and participate here constructively... whether or not you're really Hilary Duff. Dtobias 22:21, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nope. I'm not leaving, so you won't be missing me!!! - Cool Cat886 02:19, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia Sophistication

For somebody who didn't even know how to get to the past history to revert a blanked article a day ago, you sure seem to have picked things up fast... you're doing some fairly sophisticated things, like linking to special pages such as your contributions and editing redirect pages into disambiguation pages with multiple links... some of that stuff took me weeks before I figured out how to do it myself... and you're also using specialty Wiki terminology like "sockpuppet" and "vandalize". Interesting... Dtobias 02:56, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Well, for one reason, I just had the the idea of copying others' formatting and started doing it. And I checked out the Wiki glossary.

Oh yeah, I'm still laughing at how silly I was in the beginning, blanking out that page and then writing something embarrassing!!! - Cool Cat886 03:39, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

My first article contrib is Burbank, California. - Cool Cat886 03:40, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello. I'm deleting your addition of NBC from the L.A. page but keeping DIC. NBC is headquartered in New York City; the West Coast operations are only a branch office (kind of like how CBS Television City near Park La Brea is only a branch office). If we allowed for branch operations (as opposed to central headquarters) then practically the entire Fortune 500 would have to be listed on the L.A. page, and then the list would become useless (because most of the Fortune 500 have offices in cities all over the world). --Coolcaesar 07:47, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Your contributions so far look good! I'm glad you're trying to help out around here! Everyking 13:27, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
