Hello, I'm K6ka, but a lot of people abbreviate my username as "k6". I like to do several tasks here on Misplaced Pages, the biggest of them is to revert vandalism (and to prove to teachers and educators wrong on how you can say Barack Obama has a purple nose and everyone will believe you, and to scold them as they should "know better").
If you are a vandal on Misplaced Pages, I would gladly appreciate it if you stopped your annoying behaviour. Why not join the large community of editors and help build this encyclopedia? It is a wonderful place, after all. You can be rewarded for your work and gain the appreciation of the community for writing, and the whole world can see your work. Don't be afraid to receive a notice on your talk page - just Be Bold! Notices and warnings are not a sign that you have done wrong, but rather an editor wants your attention and just wants to point out or teach you something valuable. So don't cover your ears.
If you think I reverted one of your edits by mistake, please tell me at my talk page. I don't like doing the wrong thing, and if I made a mistake, rest assured that it wasn't deliberate. If you simply tell me rather than declaring an edit war on me, then we'll all walk away learning something.
If you want to join the glorious forces of vandal-fighters, great - that's half the battle! First, here's a few tips to get you started:
1. Create an account! You can fight vandalism even as an anonymous user, but it's slow and you'll have to stick with that "Undo" button, which, trust me, 70% of the time you'll be beaten to reverts, and you won't feel so awesome at the end of the day.
2. Make some constructive edits. Go around the wiki, fix some typos, add citations to articles pleading for them, expand, improve, and be nice to editors. You can try reverting vandalism now, but remember, you'll still be with that "Undo" button.
3. Once you've been a member for over 4 days and made more than 10 constructive edits, you'll be an autoconfirmed user. Great job, you've now shown the wiki that you are eager to help out and that you can be trusted with a few more tools.
4. Go and get Twinkle. Twinkle is a third-party add-on that uses Javascript to give users a few extra tools to assist them in editing the wiki. Namely, it gives autoconfirmed users the rollback links, as well as a few extra features to make it easier to warn and report users, and to tag articles for deletion. WooHoo! No really, Twinkle will be your best friend for the rest of your life on Misplaced Pages, so long as you use it properly.
5. Go on recent changes and pick out some random edits. Click on the "diff" link to compare that revision with the previous revision. If it meets the criteria for vandalism, hit "rollback (VANDAL)", go to the editor's talk page, mouse-over "TW" on the top-right, select Warn, and add a warning. Consult User Warnings for details. Generally, you should add a stricter, sterner warning if friendlier warnings already exist. For example, if there's a level 1 warning already on the page, add a level 2 warning. If it is an IP address, and the last warning was a day ago, add a level 1 warning instead, since IP addresses can change owners over time.
This editor is a Most Pluperfect Labutnum and is entitled to display this Book of Knowledge with Coffee Cup Stain, Cigarette Burn, Chewed Broken Pencil, Sticky Note, and Bookmark.This editor is a Senior Editor II and is entitled to display this Rhodium Editor Star.
6. Once you've been reverting for a good amount of time, and show that you can differentiate between a vandal edit and a good faith edit, you can ask for rollback permission on this page. You must prove that you will use the rollback feature wisely, and not use it to revert edits you disagree with, or to edit war (unless it's vandalism, which should always be reverted). If you get rejected, don't run to the edge of the cliff just yet! Keep reverting!
7. Once you get accepted, this is where I leave you - at the crossroads. I would suggest tools like Huggle or STiki to enhance your fighting experience. Twinkle shouldn't be removed, because it is still a useful tool, even if the rollback links are slower than the default rollback link (Don't forget about those other features). Other than that, happy reverting, and thank you for helping Misplaced Pages!
If you are already a vandal fighter, or if you are just curious, here's a meter to show how much vandalism there currently is on Misplaced Pages:
2.48 RPM according to EnterpriseyBot 14:10, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
And here's a lovely template with all the links to all the pages you need to know about!Note: May not contain all the pages you need to know about. May not actually be a lovely template.
Nobody. Just an ordinary Canadian teenaged guy who has no life. Actually, maybe I do. Because if I had no life, I wouldn't be able to type this, would I?
What keeps you on Misplaced Pages? This is a freaking boring place - you just write stuff. And... stuff
Different people pursue different interests. Some find LoL or World of Tanks to be extremely boring. And besides, I don't actually write too much stuff on Misplaced Pages - I focus on reverting stuff that doesn't adhere to Misplaced Pages policies, such as replacing entire pages with "SUCK MY P3NIS!!" or something like that. Hey, before I suck yours, you should suck mine. Wait, nevermind. Forget I said that. I wasn't supposed to say that anyways.
So, I've heard you're a gamer. What games do you play?
...personally I hate it when people ask me this question. I look like an outcast when I mention Flash games that nobody has heard of, MMO games that they've never heard of, and when I mention The Sims, somehow everyone thinks I have no life. Yes, because I have no life from playing other people's lives, I can't have a life, nor can I live one.
How Old are You?
I am 110+33-100/44+78*13^11-3 million+512-512+512-Infinity+Infinity/91+1337-912/952/1/1*1*88+1678-666^3-6+$1212-LOLOLOLOLOL-45g of salt+99g of sugar....
Are you Canadian?
Yes!
Why aren't you American yet? Come join us! We're so awesome, we're better than awesome!
I really do. I absolutely hate those ridiculous drama movies that my mom loves to watch. Those drama movies never seem to mean anything except crying, slapping, slapping your spouse, slapping your spouse in front of your kids, slapping your spouse on the street where everyone gasps at, running into the apartment crying, slamming the door loudly at your spouse, yelling at your spouse, arguing with your spouse, lying to your kids that you two are not arguing with or slapping each other, beating up your worst enemy on the street, shoving someone off the train platform into the path of an oncoming train, smashing lit lightbulbs and then playing with the shards of glass, touching live electrical wires, intercepting the car of your worst enemy on a busy road, driving a car at 88 MPH and then throwing a sharp curve, which sends your car on its side, gasoline leaks out, and instead of getting out you fumble for your wallet so you can look at the picture of your kids (Seriously, they would rather have you live than you dying with their picture in your hands. LAAAMEEE!!!), driving your car through a store window and blaming your annoying spouse, etc, etc, etc. Ugh....
Hopefully you found that funny.
I need to talk business with you. Specifically, regarding Misplaced Pages. How do I do that?
Sort of. I like the idea of having a fun and loyal companion but not the pain in the ass of taking care of one.
Is this the end of the "Useless, Trashy, Pointless Information About Me That Nobody Cares About" section?
Yes. I will carry on below.
Cool WikiLove/Barnstars that I give to other users
I like handing out WikiLove and Barnstars to other editors. And I like receiving them equally. I feel that these two things are what all editors that try to improve the wiki deserve. And I get to have a little fun in the description, I guess..
A fire broke out in several articles on Misplaced Pages today. It was confirmed to be arson - set by a group of vandals looking for trouble. Luckily, STATicVapor came to the rescue. Armed with Huggle and Twinkle, he began to extinguish the flames and restored the articles to their un-charred state. The valuable information he sent to the administrators enabled them to arrest the appropriate vandals and keep them from causing more harm. I, k6ka, am proud to present you, STATicVapor, this honourable barnstar to adorn on your wall for bravery, courage, and dedication to keeping the encyclopedia safe for everyone! K6ka (talk | contribs) 02:59, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
@K6ka: Thanks a lot for the barnstar! I really appreciate it and for your kindness you have earned a place on my userpage for the near future. STATicmessage me! 03:40, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Here's yet another barnstar to adorn your gallery - though I see it's full already. Do you want me to hold it for you until you can make some room or... oh well. Keep reverting vandalism! And maybe build a larger gallery? Heh. K6ka (talk | contrib) 04:11, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Omygosh, did I not notice your barnstar? Thanks for giving me it, in any case! --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 18:33, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Browsing through my user contributions, it seems almost funny how we both reverted vandalism on the same article sometimes. Ah well, keep that mop next to you like a soldier would treasure his rifle. K6ka (talk | contrib) 02:43, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, you deserve a barnstar too! Mark Arsten (talk) 02:54, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal *vandal clicks Publish and rubs hands in glee*
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day*Frosty (the vandal-fighter) sees the edit*
There must have been some magic in that
old silk hat they found *Frosty clicks rollback*
For when they placed it on his head
he began to dance around *edit gets rolled back*
Oh
Frosty the snowman
was alive as he could be *STiki detects that user has a final warning, and reports to WP:AIV*
And the children say he could laugh
and play just the same as you and me
Thumpity thump thump
thumpity thump thump *an admin sees the report*
Look at Frosty go
Thumpity thump thump
thumpity thump thump *admin blocks the vandal*

*ninja poofs into the room*. Hello, This lousy T-shirt. No, this isn't a T-shirt - it's a cloak to make me invisible! Anyways, I am here to bestow upon you a great gift. No, it's not a lousy T-shirt! Just let me finish speaking. My stealthy spying skills have enabled me to see that you've been very hard at work keeping this encyclopedia you call "Misplaced Pages" clean... no, I did not see you with your pants down in the bathroom! Where was I? Oh yes, my master and I were so impressed by your efforts that we have decided to give you this barnstar as a reward. If you feel ready for an even tougher challenge, please speak to my master *hands business card* We spy on vandals and alert the main defense if we suspect an attack. And for the last time I'm not wearing a T-Shirt!... oh well. Goodbye *ninja poofs out of the room* K6ka (talk | contribs) 00:05, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
THANK YOU! I will treasure it and try to be worthy of it. :D — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 00:08, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I've seen you around a lot. Why then, did I not give you a barnstar? If I knew a bit of computer programming I'd program a bot to automatically give excellent contributors a reward for their efforts, but then it wouldn't be as good and personal as a real person giving a barnstar out. Oh, what am I talking about. Here's a barnstar for good work! K6ka (talk | contribs) 04:03, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks :) --AdmrBoltz 04:06, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
*pulls out checklist* Okay then. Let's see - has user reverted vandalism? Check. Has user been active recently? Check. Have I run into this user while doing my rounds? Check. *yawns* Man, checklists are so boring. Is user a rollbacker? Check. Is user a reviewer? Check. Do vandals hate this user? I guess... check. Has user been threatened/insulted by vandals? Check. *checks cell phone impatiently* Is user awesome? Check. (maybe?) Does user have a talk page *oh man this checklist is lame* Does user really deserve a barnstar? Check. Are you really, really sure? Oh forget it! *rips checklist into shreds* Here's your barnstar. That took longer than expected... K6ka (talk | contribs) 05:10, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Haha...thanks a lot. Reminds me that long since I've given a few myself...See you around! Ugog Nizdast (talk) 08:46, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
*sigh* I guess a mug of coffee wasn't enough for you, eh? Well, it's not enough for me - I need a refill badly. But my mom is pretty "OMG WTF R U DRINKING" when she catches me with a mug of joe in my hands. If coffee doesn't fuel me (and keep me awake) when I fight vandalism, it's my own motivation and pride on keeping Misplaced Pages clean (and the laugh I get sometimes when vandals vandalize an article). I assume the same is for you, no? Well, whatever the case is, a shiny barnstar does motivate a lot of vandal fighters to keep on going. Unless they think barnstars are nothing more than a lame substituted template that serves no purpose whatsoever other than waste server space. If barnstars waste server space, isn't drinking coffee wasting coffee beans? I say a barnstar is a pretty good deal. Now if only I could get a new coffee machine... K6ka (talk | contribs) 04:49, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks K6ka! I think barnstars and WikiLove contribute a great deal toward an editors' motivation. They promote the collegial spirit of the wiki and ensure hard work does not go unnoticed. I am no different. I appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge my efforts toward fighting vandalism, as I do find it very encouraging. Cheers and warm regards :) — MusikAnimal 22:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Don't you absolutely HATE those PESKY vandals? Such a pain in the ass. What's so fun about vandalizing a wiki when it's just going to be reverted sooner or later? Yet even as I scratch my head some people (even adults that should "know better") find pleasure in replacing entire articles with "poopyface" or "I wuz here" or "OMFG I'M ACTUALLY EDITING A WIKIPEDIA PAGE" or "Hey Duncan. See, I edited this page." or the one that really irritates me, "Stop using this damn website where I can go and change the content of the pages. You're so stupid for coming here." And yes, a teacher wrote that once. To prove these nimrods wrong, we fight them with even less effort than it takes to screw the wiki over. And if they still don't listen - we can bash them with this barnstar. Or you could, you know, block them, like usual. K6ka (talk | contribs) 03:25, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Okay, so they do, but someone has to stop saying that they suck and actually get rid of them. Fortunately, thousands of dedicated volunteers work to clean up the mess they leave behind. And you're one of them. Doesn't matter what they leave behind - whether it be graffiti or empty pop cans or spoiled food or XXX images, but we vandal-fighters proudly clean it up. One of the best things about doing this is that you get these lovely awards. And they (the vandals) don't! "Oh, you want this shiny thing? Well go and get your own, turd. This barnstar belongs to those who deserve it." K6ka (talk | contribs) 00:16, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, K6ka. I very much appreciate it. Flyer22 (talk) 00:19, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Hey there, vandal fighter. I noticed your hard work on helping to keep Misplaced Pages clean and wanted to give you this barnstar. Just flash it around and most vandals will flee in terror at the sight of it. So you only need to concentrate on the more dangerous ones. K6ka (talk | contribs) 17:56, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
*opens up visor* Hey there. *removes helmet* Sorry, I need to wear this thick, heavy suit for protection when the vandals start attacking us. Anyways, thanks for your barnstar! I am usually on every day, but today I was particularly driven to stay on as ClueBot NG was down earlier. It's down a lot recently, don't you think? School got in the way, but as soon as I had some Internet access that was fast enough, I was fighting vandalism using Twinkle, Huggle, and STiki. Now that the bot is back up, I can hopefully get out of this suit. *unzips zipper* Anyways, I think I'll repay a barnstar with a barnstar, so here it is! Have a great day! ...now if you can give me a hand with this heavy suit... K6ka (talk | contribs) 21:55, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Hahaha! You're very kind! Mz7 (talk) 21:57, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Other Stuff
I've recently joined the Simple English Misplaced Pages.
On Newgrounds? Pay my rather under-visited userpage a visit - Link
I don't upload too much, but I do watch a strange assortment of videos - Link
You can ask me *almost* any question on Spring.me! - Link
Below is a list of some of the other wikis that I've contributed to (excluding Misplaced Pages, because... duh!):
The Last Stand Wiki is the wiki that pretty much started it all. I pretty much grew up with it and I am still active on that wiki. Can you believe I joined Misplaced Pages nearly two years before I joined this one? I'm currently a sysop there, admittedly the first time I've ever been an admin/moderator on a website. Pretty cool, right?
The Sims Wiki is the largest wiki on Wikia that I have joined. Currently a sysop there.
How-To Wiki: Adopted the wiki via Wikia's adoption program. Currently a bureaucrat and sysop there.
SimCity Wiki: I don't do much here, other than fixing a few double redirects, correcting some incorrect information, and.... that's it.
Space Marine Wiki: Only been there once to clean up after a vandal that commuted over to that wiki to berate the active admin on The Last Stand Wiki. Seriously...
Vim Wiki: Only been there once to undo an edit that made no grammatical sense.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki: Fixed a few pages, but this wiki isn't even written in a professional manner, as if some 12-year-olds run the wiki. Still, fun game. *beep beep beep* Roller Coaster 1 has broken down. Breakdown: Station Brakes Failure. O_O BOOM! Roller Coaster 1 has crashed! 8 people have died in a crash on Roller Coaster 1.
Don't Starve Wiki: New but experienced editor there (ironically). Currently fixing double redirects and reverting the occasional vandal. Like I always do. I like fighting vandalism. It's fun.
