Vandalism how-to page

If you see the top, its wiki humour. Also, at the bottom it clearly says: Just dont do it and thats how you dont get banned! ErrrDacheatcode 13:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Favour...

Hey Riana,

I'm writing regarding the fact that I have acquired two websites, who have accepted my request to supply Misplaced Pages with images. I'm not sure how to carry on, so as per Blofeld's recommendation I have approached you to assist me. I would like a license such as this one, with Kollywoodtoday.com and Behindwoods.com . If you want photograpjhic/written evidence of their acceptance please ask!

Thank You, RSAP

Thanks for the immediate reply - I've got into some hot water at times with images. If i copy and paste their respecrive messages here, will you kindly take ove rthe proceedings? Cheers. Universal Hero 19:53, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Cheers for setting it-up! I've added the emails....Universal Hero 20:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, which template? Universal Hero 20:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Kollywoodtoday.com have sent me photographic evidence of their signed copy. Under what license can I upload that? Universal Hero 17:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

What next? I've send an e-mail.... Universal Hero 18:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Can I start uploading images? Universal Hero 18:39, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

My Bad....kk! Cheers! Universal Hero 19:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Cheers, for fixing it. You saved me some precious time, you superstar! Universal Hero 19:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Periodical invite didn't work and it still says you're offline and "invited". Will 20:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Homeopathy again

Sorry to bother you, and I hope I don't make you regret ever having waded into the morass that is alternative medicine. The user who was edit warring – and who caused you to protect homeopathy the first time around – is now trying to bait other editors: . He may be upset about the extant RfC on his conduct (Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Whig 2). As a neutral third party, could you have a word with him? He's digging a pit for himself. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

The RfC seems to be doing an OK job of providing neutral third party opinions but I'll keep an eye out. ~ Riana ⁂ 17:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Urgent help :)

Hiya Riana, I don't know if you remember me - you welcomed me when I arrived here. There is a user who has been attacking my profile page. Other people have helped but I thought maybe you could confirm how you created my account for me in order to put this so called "Check user" to bed. I'm not here for conflict. Please help! http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Danny_17 --Danny 17 13:31, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for protecting my talk... looks like everyone's mutual friend was having a little fun again today. Gscshoyru 15:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Deleted page request

Hi, Would you be able to provide me with the last revision by me of the deleted article The Big Withdraw. If you could, could you please past all of the code into, User:The-G-Unit-Boss/Sandbox. Thanks!. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Stupid me! It was made into a redirect. Nevermind. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

User Page Protection

Yes Semi Protection would suit me better. Thanks Haysead 20:21, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I love this image

If you ever go to London, this actually exists in Baker Street station (the signs have to be up, by law :)) Will 21:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I missed this image above Defrag's... striking thank-you note, but that's funny :) ~ Riana ⁂ 19:56, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I actually took that picture specifically for putting it on the article Irony :) Will 13:21, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I will, dear Riana! I've blocked someone already, gave 'em 24 hours. Oh, that'll make them think about vandalizing the Incredible Hulk article again and again. Is there.. um... like a manual, I can read? Or like a a tool box? Save me from myself! Dfrg.msc 10:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Ha ha! Riana, once again you have saved my association. Dfrg.msc 10:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

IRC

Riana, want to come on IRC? I would like a chat :-) --Deskana (talk) 18:56, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

SSP case

There's no SSP case for Runtshit (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), just a category. When I added the SSP case for Bite Me Rance11 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), I didn't know it was linked to Runtshit. If I see more "Bite Me Rance" users, do I just add them to the category? How do I assure they will be blocked?

Thanks --Tckma 19:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the late response, I was offline. Reporting to AIV should be enough, just say whose socks they are and they'll get blocked pretty quick :) ~ Riana ⁂ 05:13, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Userpage Question

Hello...I have a slight problem that maybe you all might be able to help with. The little "menu" at the top of my userpage that has a time, links to my talk page, contribs and the like, and a little saying is normally right in between the line at the top of the page, for some reason it is slid way down (you will see what I mean) and I am not sure how to fix it. If you or DarkFalls could help, I would appericate it. (Sorry for the bad explanation). - NeutralHomer 22:45, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I asked User:Ryan Postlethwaite, since you were offline (no worries there) and he fixed it right up. Many thanks though :) - NeutralHomer 01:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

She's annoying period :P Plus, I'm not a big fan of her fivehead. Will 16:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

review

Hi Riana I am a new user on wikipedia and I was wondering if you would review my article to help me make it better. I chose you because I saw that you helped others or made edits to other articles related to mine. I just wrote an article on the national dairy checkoff. (Bakekari 14:38, 17 October 2007 (UTC))

Thank you for your help!! (Bakekari 14:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC))

protection request

Hi Riana, could you please reprotect my page? Somehow the protection got lost, and I don't know how. I hope that semiprotection will do. Thanks a bunch! --Kyoko 15:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Kyoko - Alison deleted and restored your userpage and the protection got lost in the process. Reprotected. I've replied to your e-mails too, hope you got them (and if not something's still wrong with my mail... ) ~ Riana ⁂ 15:11, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Riana. Did you just send your replies? I've not gotten anything from you in over a week. Speaking of deleted pages, your own page seems to be missing. If you want something austere but functional, might I suggest adapting my "toolbar" (the bar with the links on my page) for your purposes? I've seen other admins' pages, where they divide links by categories (deletions, etc.) I'm just not used to seeing blank userpages, but it's up to you of course. Thanks again for reprotecting my page! --Kyoko 15:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

No worries! I sent my replies... yesterday. :/ I've restored my userpage - I was pretty much just doing what Allie did with yours, bit of WP:DENY at work. :) ~ Riana ⁂ 15:23, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, perhaps you should try resending the replies, then. I must have looked at your page right after you deleted it. I understand what you mean by WP:DENY. --Kyoko 15:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, If you have any time, would you please consider reviewing me at my editor review?. Thanks! --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 15:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, You haven't replied. Would you consider reviewing me? No worries if you are too busy or don't feel like it!. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 16:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, sorry, I think I must have skipped over this message. I've left you a review. ~ Riana ⁂ 16:46, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that!, Ill keep your suggestions in mind. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 16:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Good one!

I'm enjoying comments such as rm spare code, we can use it to make cookies, glad to see someone having a bit of fun or a sense of humour on here. Oh and I'm in Australia too.. but in Melb. Phgao 06:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Nice to meet ya! ~ Riana ⁂ 10:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Block

Please can you block the IP address of this user permanently. He has disrupted many articles and the last vandalising went unnoticed -the important British Army article. He ought to be blocked indefinately as he has had at least ten temporary blocks in the past and not listened to one of them ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 12:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

We don't usually block IPs indefinitely unless they're open proxies, but I've blocked it for 6 months. ~ Riana ⁂ 13:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

User talk:81.97.215.109 is also a problem for the Bollywood articles and has recieved many warnings. The disruption of these actor pages by anonymous IP's is a nuisance. Perhaps this user could get a longer block than 24 hours. Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 14:32, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

mail workaround

Hi Riana, I've figured out a workaround for your e-mail problem, and it's explained in your inbox. --Kyoko 15:37, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Lil Wayne

My unprotection of Lil Wayne didn't go too well, eh? That article is a disaster. And I've never even heard of the guy! —Wknight94 (talk) 19:54, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Lucky you! :) Yeah, these pop/rap/mainstream music articles never seem to fare too well. ~ Riana ⁂ 19:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Need help on Commons

Hi, Riana - need help on Commons with Commons:User:Tupto, who is apparently a sock of the banned User:Roitr. Uploading copyvio there that has been deleted from en Misplaced Pages, and removing speedy deletion tags. Videmus Omnia 01:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh dear... maybe try going to commons:COM:AN/V as Riana seems to be away at the moment... (probably shopping :p) *runs*--D_arkF_alls 08:21, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Riana, thanks for the help - yes, all of his uploads there are copyvio from http://www.uniforminsignia.net; I'll restore the speedy tags again. Videmus Omnia 14:23, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Riana, I'd appreciate it if you could just delete the images. This vandal is incredibly persistent, both here and on Commons. I can have the accounts blocked when they pop up, but once the images are uploaded, he uses dynamic IPs to remove the speedy tags and I sometimes have to revert multiple times before an admin gets around to working the deletion category. I don't know if the image names can be salted here and/or on Commons (Roitr always uploads images under the same filenames.) Videmus Omnia 17:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

delete?

how do i delete my old account before i get re blocked?—xpansyxyouxsuckx —Preceding comment was added at 13:47, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Wow! How do you do blocks so quickly? I'm jealous..;) You did six in one minute! Are you using a tool of some kind? Dreadstar † 17:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Cool! I'll have to read up on it..any tips? Dreadstar † 17:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Get Firefox! :) Also if you've been an admin involved with AIV for a while (I'm into my 8th month now) you know that you can get away without analysing every single report, if they come from certain users. I don't check the bot reports mostly, and users like MER-C, Gurch, Oxymoron83 and a few others can always be trusted to give reliable reports. ~ Riana ⁂ 17:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Am I on that list? (Yes, I'm fishing for compliments, but I'm also serious. I wanna be sure that I'm doing this right.) Gscshoyru 17:20, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, yes, actually :) ~ Riana ⁂ 17:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Brilliant! I have noticed these Editors' consistent and reliable reports...good idea. I'll probably still doublecheck, though...just in case..heck, I doublecheck everything I do myself...;) Thanks Riana!! Dreadstar † 17:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Yay! Thanks! :D Gscshoyru 17:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Edit of Wookmuff

Hi I noticed your quick revert, darn it I was hoping for him to at least see it first, spoil my fun. We're friends in the living down the street kind of way and he has a history of editing my page, or at least up until recently, I appologuise to you and admit it was nothing but harmless retaliation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LSWSjr (talk • contribs) 13:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Copyright permissions.

Hello I am concerned that a User:Universal Hero has obtained permission to use images from kollywoodtoday and has this permission registered in the OTRS register. This user has at least 2x provided incorrect copyright information and once lied about it. I think its possible this user has faked the permission from Kollywoodtoday.com. Does any check with kollywoodtoday take place beyond this user's contact with them when the permission has been uploaded into OTRS? What would be the best way to proceed?

Previous copyvio's

• ( Case #1 See User_talk:Universal_Hero#Copyright and User_talk:GameKeeper#Apologies )
• ( Case #2 User_talk:Universal_Hero#Copyright_problems_with_Image:UnnaleUnnale27.jpg )

I also raised a sockpuppetry case as this user seems to be extremely similar to another (few) users who were banned for copyright issues, including faking OTRS information Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Universal Hero

protection request

Hi Riana, are you online? Would you mind fully protecting User:Kyoko? I want to try out that userpage trick. Thanks. --Kyoko 01:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Done! ~ Riana ⁂ 02:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! The code for my page looks so funny over there! Not as funny as seeing Jimbo staring back at me, but still... If cascading protection is in effect, would unprotecting User:Kyoko/Header work, or would that let anybody change it? --Kyoko 02:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah, forgot to cascade protect, I'll do that now. But unprotecting the header will work if it's cascade protected, yep. ~ Riana ⁂ 02:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually I took off cascade protection because it protects anything you have transcluded on your userpage.css - meaning it protects your header so you can't write in it, and it protects the defcon so other people can't update it. Instead I've moved your header to User:Kyoko/header.css and transcluded it into User:Kyoko/Header and protected that, so that only you can change your header once again. Hope that helps :) ~ Riana ⁂ 02:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Now I'm confused. If I want to change my header, I change User:Kyoko/header.css, right? --Kyoko 02:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Yep! :) ~ Riana ⁂ 02:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

SeeYouNextTuesday999

Riana I understand what you're trying to accomplish, but there is no point in giving this troll a voice any longer. The account was created for one purpose and one purpose only. By asking for a helpful article I'm afraid you're just feeding the trolls (even though you do not mean to). Burntsauce 17:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
