User talk:Rick K.

Please consider changing your name -- an established user already has the name RickK. See Wikipedia:Username for details. Thanks for being considerate. Jwrosenzweig 23:13, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

My name is Rick Kreg and im sorry for the confusion my friend Beelzebubs just advised me on it cause i'm new here. I allready have a good sized watchlist so how do i change my name without losing the watchlist. sorry---Rick K. 23:19, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay -- sorry if I was a grouch. It's a common trolling technique here to take on someone's name (in a slight variation) and pose as them. If you go to Wikipedia:Changing username, I think it'll give you the instructions. I have no idea if it keeps your watchlist -- you'd have to ask a developer like User:Tim Starling.

I'm Realy sorry my friend is calling me an idiot because he is trying to move up the ladder and he doesnt want to be asociated with a person with a troll name. Thanks for the help i feel like an idiot, this is not a good start please dont hold it agains me I'll do good I promise.---New Name Here

Just stay cool, it's okay. Beelzebubs will not move up the ladder here by being rude to new users: only by being a thoughtful and useful contributor. I hope and trust he knows that. Anyway, don't worry about it -- you didn't know about RickK, and I should have thought about it and realized the name could easily be chosen innocently. Rick, for whatever reason, gets trolled a lot, so I try to watch out for him. Anyway, let me know if I can help you at all, and welcome to Wikipedia. :-) Read Wikipedia:About to learn more about us, take a Wikipedia:Tutorial to learn the software a little better, and post questions at the Wikipedia:Village pump or on my user talk page. :-) Jwrosenzweig 23:51, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I cant lie to you I din't know who rick was but heard Bellzebubs takling about him. I also want to tell you something.... Please dont get mad Grumpy Pants, I've turned over a new leaf, I am Yammy Yamathorn, Strenuous Manflurry, StevenSaladshooter, and Jickonelle Rockfarta. This was a joke to me at first but know I see potential in my future with Wiki, I will do everything in my power to improve my skills and make you proud. Thanks for everything Grumpy Pants.---Rick K. 00:00, 14 May 2004 (UTC).[reply]

I am going to have to see a huge improvement from you -- you've burned almost all your bridges. This is your last chance -- use it well. You can be a good part of this community, but it's going to mean stopping the troll behavior and starting to behave right. I think you can see that people like Theresa and I are willing to help. But we're also busy people and we can't waste time people who just want to mess the site up -- there are too many potentially great people out there who can contribute. Be one of those potentially great people and you'll have my help -- I'll be watching.... Jwrosenzweig 00:09, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I added List of popular music terms to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, as patience is not one of my virtues. Hyacinth 00:04, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, if you see any fighting, me and Beelzebubs go to school together. He got me into this to help him become an administrator by making himself look good when he "caught" me vandalizing. However, I always liked improving more than destroying so I'm going to be a contributor not a troll.---Rick K. 00:11, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

To whoever may be concerned, let me clear a few things up without becoming rude or aggressive:
1. I did not bring User Rick K./Yammy/Jickonelle into Wikipedia to improve my own career. He joined on his own free will.
2. If you look at my history, I was never rude to the aforementioned user. If the only harsh post I posted (Please stop vandalizing Wikipedia) offended anyone of any race or creed, I am deeply sorry.
3. If this user is finally ready to take his duties seriously, I am wiling to help him in whatever he needs help with. No hard feelings, man.
4. One last thing. I do hope to , one day, become an administrator, so any advice concerning the topic should be posted on my talk page.
- Here's hoping we can all be happy again (seriously), --Beelzebubs 00:53, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please change your name. How about RickKreg? Rick K 00:54, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

You know what, I don't know how to change your name and keep your edits and such. Why don't you post to Wikipedia:Village pump and somebody there can probably tell you. Rick K 01:50, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
