Message from Narutofanz

Hey HubHikari, do you know any admins? Coz with this wikipedia bot called ClueBot, I think its malfunctioning as it has been accusing some users about vandalism when they didn't do anything. Just some complaints I have recieved that I thought I should address about. --Narutofanz (talk) 00:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, do u happen to know any1 who can ban others. Just in case I catch someone who vandalises other pages. Narutofanz

Narutofanz, you'd want to take that up with an admin; they have the power to set blocks and bans. For a starting point towards dispute resolution, you can open a Request for Comment on the user in question; this will invite others to comment on the situation, and, if the situation necessitates it, bring in an admin. I hope this helps. Another thing, though: PLEASE be sure to sign your comments with --~~~~ , just for style. Also, don't simply edit a previous comment, as it destroys the history of a talk page. Yours, --HubHikari 13:17, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey know any good admins around here? Some assholes have been continuously vandalising the Naruto Shippuden Episode List Page.--Narutofanz 08:18, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Reverted "Vandalism"

Hi, I know it was all the way back in May, but thanks for reverting the vandalism in my user page. But actually, I made all those edits to my page without signing in! Thank you anyway.. good looking out! :) Guanaco152003 18:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Lightdarkness

Once again, my regged account seems to have been dominated by Lightdarkness' block. Can someone please advise, and perhaps offer assistace? --HubHikari 13:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

You are meant to use {{unblock}} in these case, and paste the block message (and possibly your IP address) here on your talk page. Also, what is the nature of the IP? Is it a school, AOL etc.--Commander Keane 13:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

If you had checked the link to my archives, I've already had a problem with this block. Apparently, someone at my school enjoys vandalizing Misplaced Pages on this IP; I haven't had a chance to talk to my school's IT department yet, so I cannot identify the vandals. I hope to in the near future; and if I can't, I'm nearing my last day so it won't matter anyhow. --HubHikari 16:47, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

RC Patrolling Excellence

Thank you for reverting vandalism to my user page. Best, Kukini 16:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, you

Why are you so awesome at this Wiki-thingy? (for comment to make more sense please add proverbal drunk voice) Cheers! Yanksox 16:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey

That's what makes Vandal proof so awesome. Besides, I'm going to be social this saturday so I figure I'll do as much as I can till then. Yanksox 23:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Good for you! Now, you'll have some fun. Yanksox 04:56, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Le Signature

You havn't been signing your vandal's user talk pages ;) -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 02:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

You sicked a few test templates on some vandals, but didn't sign them (ie. User talk:Anatomyofacraka). It's customary to sign everything in talk pages, including templates. Happy patrolling, editing, and forth! -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 02:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

You're a crazy genius

Crazy! :P Yanksox 20:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks like you could use this:

This user is crazy.

It's a mad scientist! Yanksox 20:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey!

Hey, man, what's happening? I haven't seen you around alot, I hope everything is fine with you. Feel free to contact me. You always can. :) Yanksox 23:41, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Heyy

Heyy.! its me, Ace Fighter sory bout the fault in Hoot, my bad man, im bad with grammar. So how bout we talk sometime?? u gotta show me how though. I have no idea!! Heyy, its mne again, Ace Fighter, Hows it goin?? look at my talk page. Thanks for that fix. Plus, I avoid sharing personal info, i am a fairly young editer.

Hey, whats up? hows it goin? its me again. Ace Fighter 22:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't you think you were being a little hypacritical when you corrected me on my "miss editing?" it says you've vandalized 5 times! Ace Fighter 23:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hahaha, no, Ace. That counter on my user page says how many times my user page has been vandalized. Which is five times. Doesn't really make me happy. But it's better than ten times. Or twenty. If you had read the counter closely, that would have been immediately apparent. But it's cool. No worries. Talk to ya later. --HubHikari 13:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, aha, thanks for the correcttion i thought it said, "this user has vandalized 5 times, ohh. Funny turns out it ACTUALLY said this user has been vandalized 5 times! My mistake, how do you become a patroller or something on wiki? I edit freely.

Well, to become a patroller, you can start by going here and reading up on the duties they're expected to perform; then, you can put the badge on your userpage, just like I did. --HubHikari 16:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Pyromania is not a diesiese

Too right it's not! Thanx for finale standin up for us for once.

AmDrag Episode Deletions(WTF?)

What the hell made you decide to put speedy deletion tags on those American Dragon: Jake Long episode descriptions made by TSLcrazier? If I wrote them myself, I would've put the "hangon" tag there before they disappeared. DanTD 16:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't. The only thing I touched by TSLcrazier was the article entitled TBA. --HubHikari 14:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: John Seide

Thanks. That's been recreated about 10 times in the last half hour. I'm glad you agree that it's nonsense. Academic Challenger 03:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

RC patrolling

I dunno exactly why, but it's kind of fun. The Colbert crapflood seems to be slowing down at least. Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 05:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I must have missed that one. Too bad ... lol. Antandrus (talk) 05:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

World of Springfield

Thanks a lot! I was in the middle od editing on that page and you put that crap back in. Now you just caused me an hours work for nothing. I was planning on putting the links back in when I was done but now I have to start back from Wave Five and build myself back up to Wave Twelve. Supergeeky1 06:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. I thought the other edit was correct, based on an initial look. Please, PLEASE accept my apologies. --HubHikari 06:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm sorry for the message I gave you. YOU please except MY apologies, I'm just kinda tired! You wouldn't have known any way. SORRY!!! Supergeeky1 06:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Re your message on my talk page

Oop, sorry, I didn't log in last night. :-O Yeah, I think this guy may be a serial vandal and/or "SPAM artist." RfC might not work out too well because I'm not sure he'd be responsive to that; maybe we could try to open an RfC and if he doesn't follow up there, it can be discussed on WP:ANI?

Glad to see you're back! :) Srose (talk) 13:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, actually looks like he's stopped (and I think I was thinking of the wrong IPvandal; he's not serial)... I'll just watchlist OPEC and see what happens; I'd say take no action at this point. He could just give up and leave, or he'll come back and at that point a community-approved ban may be in order, as he will be a serial vandal/"exhausting the community's patience" at that point. :) Srose (talk) 13:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Alex Atkind, the Cornell dog torturer

I noticed that you deleted the stub article I wrote for Alex Atkind, the Cornell dog torturer, as a personal attack. It was not one. Here's an article about him and his reckless, horrible animal abuse.

I'm sorry, but unfortunately I do not have time to write more than a stub on this person. Zeepwner 02:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. I'll see if I can make some progress. --HubHikari 02:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

No prob. Here's a video that shows Princess, the 11-month-old puppy Alex Atkind tortured, and the wounds she suffered at the hands of Alex H. Atkind. Zeepwner 02:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Even if it's not an attack page, the article as written fell under WP:CSD#A1 and WP:CSD#A7. It would need to be rewritten from scratch with notability asserted, sources cited per WP:BLP, and more context given to avoid A1. · j e r s y k o talk · 02:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Troy

Alright, let's take this guy up through channels. What's the first move to get this guy blocked? --HubHikari 12:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Report them at Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Which I did, some time ago :) It's just a case of continuing to revert them until an administrator gets around to dealing with it. Thanks – Qxz 12:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, one step ahead of me, I see. I'm also going to shoot a request up to page protection, see if I can get that working. --HubHikari 12:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

There is generally no need to protect a page when only one user is vandalising – once they are blocked, they can no longer cause trouble. Requests are likely to be declined unless there is a significant recent history of vandalism from multiple users. Just to let you know – Qxz 12:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh. Whoops. My bad; I've already submitted the request. Looks like they've got some backlog over there. Wouldn't mind helping; I've got nothing to do in class today anyway :) --HubHikari 12:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Indeed there is something of a backlog – and presumably for the same reason there's a backlog at WP:AIV; no administrators around to deal with it. If you have nothing to do (though I have a feeling you should perhaps be paying attention!), stick with reverting vandalism, probably the best use of your time. Thanks for your help – Qxz 12:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

No, no, you misunderstand. Class is going to be focused today (presumably Friday, too) on completing a lab assigned on Monday, because the professor hasn't gone over how to do what he's asked in class. But I'm so smooth that I was able to get it converted and running without him talking about it to me.  :) But yes, I'll keep plugging away at the RC page. --HubHikari 12:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Random Question

I hope it's okay to ask you this, but you look like a pretty friendly guy and I am new to Wiki. You placed a speedy deletion tag on the page Adrian Johann Gracias-Flor and someone replaced your tag with the "hangon" tag. Should your tag have been replaced or should both tags be on the page? Thanks! Literacola 00:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Excellent question, Literacola. The answer is, both. Effectively, I said, "Hey, hold on. This page needs to be deleted." The author replied by saying, "Wait, wait...this page deserves to exist, and let me explain why." His contest of my tag does not supersede mine, it's placed right under it, to let people know the deletion is contested. And as a general note, never be afraid to ask questions! Be bold! I will attempt to give a knowledgeable answer as quickly as I possibly can. Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and I hope you enjoy yourself! --HubHikari 01:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I was right, you are friendly. :) Okay, as an addendum to my previous question--if I see a page with only the "hangon" tag and no "db-bio" (or similar), should I re-add the "db-bio" tag or will the admins or whatever omniscient gods who have the power here at Wiki know to review the page with only the "hangon" tag? Literacola 01:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

In general, if you see a lone {{hangon}} tag, you should replace the CSD tag if there is one in the history. This is mainly because removing the CSD tag also removes the page from the speedy deletion category, making it harder for admins to find pages they need to review. Another excellent question. --HubHikari 01:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Elder Scrolls Project

I noticed you have frequently been removing one user from the list of Elder Scrolls participants, the reason you provided being bad grammar. Fair enough, his comments are not the most grammatically correct, but do you really need to remove his name as well? I would like an explanation of your actions, if that wouldn't trouble you too much. Smomo 20:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry for also removing his name; I guess I just didn't think about it. Please accept my apologies, --HubHikari 01:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem, it's an easy mistake to make. :) Smomo 10:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

=D I'm glad you understand. Hope to see you around! --HubHikari 10:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Page blanks

When the only editor of an article blanks it, that's a request for deletion, so don't revert it. Just let an admin delete it. (referring to Megz) — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 08:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Veiled legal threats???

Question regarding potential block needed on a user, and the Misplaced Pages:No legal threats policy, at Misplaced Pages talk:No legal threats - subsection, Veiled legal threats ???. Please comment if you have a chance. Thank you for your time. Yours, Smee 01:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Agreement

"Subject-verb agreement; 'Franz Ferdinand' is a singular subject"

Collective ('group') nouns can take a verb in the singular or plural depending on whether the group is considered as a single unified entity or as a collection of individuals. "Abba is a Swedish pop group." "Abba are breaking up." Often a verb is used in the plural even when the singular might be more logical. "Abba are on tour in Australia." Your rule, followed strictly, would lead to unidiomatic writing and loss of precision. Your edit was nonetheless correct. Please do not reply to this message. Life is too short. Jagdfeld 17:37, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Will you please stop putting "IS" for British bands? We are not all American users! How dare you presume that the British version of grammar is incorrect! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.35.148.220 (talk) 20:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Subject-verb agreement is universal. Despite what Jagdfeld would want me to believe, a band is a single entity, and thus gets a singular verb. Thank you. --HubHikari 21:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Greetings old pal

Hey HubHikari,

Now that I know what your wikipedia username is, I expect you to make me wise in the ways of wiki. In return I can... not beat you up? ;) (Not that I could, Mr. "Accidentally Broke FirstRainbow's wrist that one time"

Using Technology in Education

Please note that I have removed the speedy delete tag you placed on this article as "Reasons derived from Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not" are non-criteria for speedy deletion. Regards, Guest9999 (talk) 16:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually I redirected the article to an existing article on the same topic. You're right that the article as it was did not belong on Misplaced Pages but the criteria and non-criteria for speedy deletion are laid out quite specifically and sometimes straying away from them can lead to more trouble than it's worth. I hope no offence was caused, happy editing, Guest9999 (talk) 16:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Administrative assistance needed

{{helpme}}

In order to seal off a privacy leak that I am in the middle of, I need to request that an administrator destroy the Special subpage of my user page. --HubHikari (talk) 06:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, that can't be done. I've seen the page, and it's not grounds for oversight. However, it CAN be deleted, but then it will be visible to all admins. Place {{db-u1}} at the top of the page, and it will be deleted. fahadsadah (talk,contribs) 06:53, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

By the way, Special:PrefixIndex/User:HubHikari shows all your subpages. fahadsadah (talk,contribs) 06:57, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers

Hi HubHikari,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
