User talk:Giggy/Header

call of duty

Hey, Dihydro, I was wondering if you'd like to help me cleanup Call of Duty and its series of games, since you got CoD2 to GA status. Thanks, bibliomaniac15 15 years of trouble and general madness 22:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I would just like some help weeding out the multiplayer sections and the fair use images. Holy moly, I go back to your talk page a day later and you've already got 7 new sections. bibliomaniac15 00:06, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Much better. bibliomaniac15 04:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, I do. I'm playing through it right now, so that's what spurred me into helping cleanup. I'll take care of those sections. bibliomaniac15 03:34, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Instant messenging grammar, spelling, and acronyms are the bane of my existence. :P bibliomaniac15 00:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Holy Moly...

Wow! After digging for at *least* an hour through news archives, I finally came across an issue of the old U2 fan magazine, Propaganda, that fixed my referencing problems! Yay! (As you can tell, I am quite happy about that. ) Would you take a look at it again? Thanks so much! Love, Neranei (talk) 01:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I saw your message on Husond's page, I would be really grateful for coaching, if you were serious, that is. :P Love always, Neranei (talk) 21:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh I would definitely appreciate it. What should I be doing? (I'm a bit new at this...) A new problem with the article just came up; there was not a proper license for the picture (I don't really understand it), so I have requested the license, but it should take at least a week. Will this affect the GA? Love,Neranei (talk) 02:31, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, do you want to review it or are you enjoying holidays? I will make a subpage, and I was given express permission, but it has to be licensed under something that I don't quite understand. I've emailed the copyright owner with some links, and hopefully it'll get sorted out. Love, Neranei (talk) 02:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

So, uh...

I'm so surreal, you have no idea how surreal I am. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 02:11, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I was just speaking the truth DM. I feel like giving myself a pat on the back. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 19:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure you are... --D_arkF_alls 07:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Admin bits

Deleted the javascript file. When I unprtotect the Giggy user page do you want the deleted edits restoring mate ? Pedro |  Chat  09:15, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Done. I hope. Better check it looks okay mate - I only restored the final edit keeping all others deleted. Pedro |  Chat  09:20, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Got rid of the history. Yes, it's still cascading through for the protection. I think you'd better get Majorly to do the last bit as it's his page...... He might get a bit waspy if I start mucking around on his subpages...... Pedro |  Chat  09:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Check mate - should be done - can't believe Majorly's gone though.... wow.... Pedro |  Chat  09:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh I protected the redirect for admin only - with a time period of 10 years. So if you haven't got the tools by 2017 you'll be able to edit it then!!! Ha Ha! I suspect it might be sooner though (damn well better be!) Pedro |  Chat  09:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Well 10 years to go mate... If you behave, we might give you the bit in 5... --D_arkF_alls 10:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Ahhhhh.... cruelty..........!!! Pedro |  Chat  10:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Fine... I'll compromise... 4 years and 364 days? --D_arkF_alls 11:00, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. September 19th 2011 it is. Shall we let Dihydrogen know of our decision ? Pedro |  Chat  11:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Per the will of the admin cabal, I officially declare September 19th 2011 to be the day you get sysopped... :P --D_arkF_alls 05:36, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Barneca RfA thank you spam

Dihydrogen Oxide, thank you for your support during my RfA, especially for taking the time to reconsider, and for giving me the benefit of the doubt that that incident was a one-off. I'll keep all of the comments in mind in the coming months, and will try again later. In the mean time, if you see me doing something stupid, please let me know. See you around. --barneca (talk) 13:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The now-traditional RFA thank-spam

Dear Giggy,

Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed successfully with 83 supports, 1 oppose, and 0 neutrals. No matter if you voted (I mean, "!voted") support or oppose, I thank you for taking the time to drop by. I'm new, remember, so if you have any suggestions feel free to inform me of them, and if I do anything wrong, feel free to add to the permanent chorus of disapproval on my talk page. Special thanks to Walton and Dihydrogen Monoxide for nominating me.

RFA Thanks!

Thanks for your participation for my RFA bid and for your support.--JForget 23:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I look forward to editing with you in the future. I should be returning to my usual edit rate very soon. Regards, — E _bots 02:37, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. Those orange bars are always appetizing :). I tagged it as a {{poetry-stub}}. --Hirohisat 04:31, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

OK dude, given you set this FAR rolling, you may wanna comment on how you see it now...(like walking into a minefield really but I'll be impressed if you can come up with an opinion..). cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:11, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Invitation

Hi. we are Borbotonesteam from the wikiproject for English Advanced B. We have uploaded some information and opinions about the last weeks of work we have had. We also put information about the wikiproject mexico and some more data about us. We hope you have the chance to read our userpage and give us some feedback about it. Thanks for your help.Please anwer at our discussion page.

AFD closure

What was your reasoning for closing Order of the Phoenix (organisation) as keep? Not one of the people saying "keep" refuted the claims made that the article should be deleted, or provided any evidence that it could be improved. Vote counting should never be used to close an AFD. Jay32183 04:56, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

It's not fair to assume that vote counting was the reasoning. Perhaps it was that there was clearly no consensus (which is why I would have kept it)? the_undertow 05:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

You need to put the old afd tag on the article's talk page. 86.137.127.139 12:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

There was a clear consensus to delete. The article failed multiple policies and guidelines and was only met with "I like it" or "cleanup tags are magic". Vote counting is the only thing that could have led to "not delete". Jay32183 17:07, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Replied. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 23:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

My bad!

That was just payback for an edit conflict you cause me (diff). I caught it in time, but boy was I vexed. Drewcifer 07:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA:

I've voted on your RfA (Oppose unfortunately - I hope you'll understand!), and also asked a question (Optional though...). I like to keep on friendly grounds with the people who's RfAs I vote on, so let me assure you, it's nothing personal against you. I think you'll make a great admin one day. Don't be disheartened if your RfA turns south; if nobody else, I'd love for you to stay (I've seen too many editors leave after RfAs...). But let me assure you, I don't think anyone wants you to leave. However, your RfA could be a flaming success! Who knows? Anyway, just thought I'd leave you a message. Regards, Spawn Man 12:23, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Re. Your userpage :)

Hello DM. Of course I don't mind you snatching my disclaimer. :-) Neither I mind having you as partner to co-coach Neranei! I may have !voted neutral in your RfA but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't find you capable of making anything less than an excellent coach. Best regards, Húsönd 14:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Order of the Phoenix (organisation)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Order of the Phoenix (organisation). Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Jay32183 23:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Good response there. We'll see how the DRV goes. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 00:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/R 2

I've replied to your comments there. BTW, that's a pretty lame excuse for not contributing to the encyclopedia. This is a wiki, which means that people help other people write stuff. If R doesn't get that, then I don't understand why he's here in the first place. --Agüeybaná 23:52, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

I succeeded at my RfA nomination.

Thanks for your trust. I'll do my best to stay non-excessive :) --Amir E. Aharoni 00:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Kicking Television: Live in Chicago

Hey, I've responded to your comments about the on-hold article Kicking Television: Live in Chicago. Let me know what you think now. Teemu08 00:54, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Userpage

I can't tell the difference of your userpage on IE. It appears the same, minus the round corners. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 02:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Entirely off topic, but if you want to give my editor review a pop by would appreciate. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 21:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of I Don't Remember

The article I Don't Remember you nominated as a good article has passed , see Talk:I Don't Remember for eventual comments about the article. Well done! 泥紅蓮_凸凹箱 04:02, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Nehrams2020 RfA Thanks

Don't worry about it, I appreciate the thought. Thanks for letting me do my first deletions on your subpages! I deleted the three pages very cautiously to make sure I didn't accidentally delete Misplaced Pages itself, but I guess I did something right since it's still here. If you need similar help in the future, just let me know. --Nehrams2020 07:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Whoa, whoa, do not do that! You scared the heck out of me. Now I need to go to sleep to slow down my heart rate. Don't make me learn how to block people by testing it on you. Just kidding, using your pages for deletion practice was good enough for me. Thanks again for the fun and good night/morning! --Nehrams2020 07:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

Please do not take the way it is going too much to heart. Please stick in there and you will become an admin some day. It really is no big deal being an admin and you can do good work for wikipedia without being one. Good luck. --Bduke 06:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Edokter RfA

Dear Dihydrogen Monoxide, Thank you for your participation in my Request for Adminship, which ended succesfully with 26 supports, 3 opposes and 1 neutral. A special thanks goes to Rlevse for nominating me. I apprwciate all the support and constructive criticism offered in my RfA. Please do not hesitate to point out any errors I will make (unintentionally of course), so I won't make them again. Please contact me if you need anything done, that's what I'm here for! — Edokter • Talk • 12:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

I was sorry to have to oppose. A pity. If the RfA doesn't succeed, and you've had a good few uncontroversial months go by, please do drop me a line if you run again, as I was dying to support you. --Dweller 13:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

3000 edits is not enough?

Re your comments on Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_adminship/Edokter. 3000 edits is not enough?

Wow!

Once upon a time when I was regularly participating in RFA, I *would* actually review a person's edit history, often looking at almost every edit. Not enough edit summary usage? Get away! If many edits had no summary, I'd actually go to this person and ask them to explain what was up. After reading each edit, if I hadn't found what I was looking for (no examples of how they deal with conflicts especially, but also quality of their writing, and tone on talk pages), I'd make a comment stating so, and requesting them to make some more edits.

After about 750-1500 edits, people usually showed what it took, and that takes an hour or two to check (provided there are decent edit summaries). More just takes way too much of my time, hence my lack of participation in RFAs these days.

Of course, if a user has few edits, I might still participate, do a full check and find out if a candidate is decent, but what's the point if people go "Oppose, come back at 5000 edits and 6 months"? I can promise I don't have the time to check those 5000 edits at that point in time. :-/

So do I take it that you actually are very dedicated, and actually are willing to spend half a day or more sifting through people's edits? Or does your statement have other grounds?

I'm curious! :-)

Re: Poke

Hi! Thanks for the poke, haha. I wanted to wait until I was well, and then, as soon as that happened, I had to move down to school. Today was actually my third day of classes, but I think I can handle the RfA at this time, but might not be able to respond hourly or anything. I'm about to put it up today. =) And nope, no section links. With the way my page is formatted (the archive part), the edit links showed up incorrectly. For example, to edit the "*pokes*" section, you'd have to click the edit button for "Hoop Guy....". Tricky.  hmwith  talk 19:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

You're Back?

Giggy, is that you? good to see you again! Of course, if it is in fact you. J-ſtan_Contribs 21:00, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Your GA review

It would seem that Irpen has taken on unilaterally removing the GA tags from Denial of Soviet occupation, which you reviewed for WP:GAC, apparently based on nothing more than his dislike of the subject matter. (Diffs: , , .)

What's the appropriate approach to solve this kind of vandalism problem? Διγυρεν_{Εμπροσ!} 22:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
