If you place a message here requiring a response, chances are I'll respond to it on your talk page. So, if you get a message that seems out of context or clueless, it may be that you posted here and forgot, or something along those lines. Or I've had too much to drink. One or the other.

Thanks

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page, it's much appreciated. Trusilver 06:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


CSD Question

Judging by your comment on the talk page for User:Dormeezy I assume that if I tag a page with csd or something to that effect I need/should leave a message explaining the reason for the deletion tag. Is that a correct assumption? TomStar81 (Talk) 04:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I am a little new to the csd/afd thing, so I am learning this as I go along. I apreciate the pointer, I will try and remember to do that from now on. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay I get that I am extremely new to this whole process and am trying to learn. However I hit the save button far before I wanted to and this was when it became tagged. I was actually going to state that this was more to the effect of a summery and glossary for the characters and such that would exist in the story. I have no desire to promote the fiction nor have I written it myself; I was never going to include any link to said fanfiction (Day Be Elk 05:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC))

Okay, I'm probably going to blank out the page and work on it in a word program before I actually bring it to life this time. Sorry again for the bad post. And I also understand that being fan fiction should normally mean it dosn't have literary merit. (Day Be Elk 20:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC))

This comment has been placed purely because i found the above humorous. Well done! =) --SteelersFan UK06 06:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

User:TenPoundHammer and his romp of Misplaced Pages-editing otters thank you for participating in Hammer's failed request for adminship, and for the helpful tips given to Hammer for his and his otters' next run at gaining the key. Also, Hammer has talked to the otters, and from now on they promise not to leave fish guts and clamshells on the Articles for Deletion pages anymore. Ten Pound Hammer16:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

220.239.56.240

I see you've had to warn this IP recently

220.239.56.240 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log).

I've noted their behaviour seems almost identical to another IP

211.30.232.229 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log),

also operating at the moment — the same nosense about Herostratus, similar petty vandalism and tinkering with warning notices. Reckon it's the same person? --Mark H Wilkinson 15:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Thing is, I've been watching the Herostratus article for a while now, and on a couple of occasions, someone with the same MO turns up to mess with it. That, plus Google, has revealed a further three IPs prior to this
  1. 220.239.184.3 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log),
  2. 211.30.39.51 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log),
  3. 220.237.22.54 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log).
But this is the first time I've seen two operating at the same time, which suggests something more focused than a shifting IP address. --Mark H Wilkinson 16:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)


Thanks!

I thank you for participating in my successful request for adminship, which ended with 60 supports, no opposes, no neutrals, and one abstain.

Wow...

... I didn't know I'd installed a bridge over my talk page, but the trolls have certainly been popping up. Thanks to everyone who reverted that IP today. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


Looks like you do a lot of welcomes

I was wondering if I could get your help, if this is the case. I saw that you're a Twinkle user also, by the way. I've been working on a set of scripts based on Twinkle's morebits.js library that provide friendlier, more collaborative functions than Twinkle's maintenance and vandalism oriented ones. It's called Friendly, and currently I've implemented the part that lets you do welcomes in a Twinkle-ish fashion. I'd love it if you could give it a try and tell me what you think. Thanks! --Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 16:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you do!

(Barnstar relocated)

I'll give a thumbs up to this too. Nicely done! --Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 16:33, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Friendly install

Thanks for the quick heads-up. Looks like the bug was with capitalization of the template names. The other problem was a simple variable name mismatch. Both issues should be fixed now. If you still have it installed, just do a cache clearing refresh. Thanks again! --Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 16:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the compliment! I had been wishing the exact same thing, so I just decided to write one. I'm hoping to expand this script in the future to include the welcome template options for the appropriate templates, but for now at least it's a start. I was also thinking of creating a script for mainspace tags ({{cleanup}} and the like) but it will probably be a couple of weeks before I get to it. Anyways, thanks for helping with the script, and just let me know if you run into anything else! --Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 17:33, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Hee hee

I hope you don't think I was taking your comment personally -- I sometimes like tongue-in-cheek humor, especially on days when I've been on active vandal duty.  :) -- Merope 19:06, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Moped

You know, I didn't realize I was reverting to a page with vandalism still on it. Thanks for pointing that out, and I'll be sure and watch out for that again. As for getting the anon bagged, I think if you look at my record, I must get at least 5 or 6 bagged a night. Anyways, happy editing! Carter | Talk to me 06:09, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, but to be honest, you're wrong. I'm the one staying cool. He's calling me a psycho and insulting me and I'm simply doing my job, therefore remaining cool. But thanks for the concern. Tyler Warren 05:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


Thanks for your polite msg and thanks for being fair and warning him too as he started it. I also hope that you warn him of getting blocked too if he kept harassing me. Anyway, you seem to be someone who i can deal with, so i wanna ask you, is what i have written considered to be personal opinions? i have the reference. I even can link a video reference showing the whole incident. I was just threading real facts. So why are there many objections!!? And if editors are free to edit in any article as you said, how come i cannot? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TomJBlane (talkcontribs) 14:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I find it hilarious, the lengths this guy is going to to try to place the blame on me. He obviously does not realize that the whole screwjob at No Way Out was scripted and we do not need personal opinions on how it "sucked" in the article. I stayed calm and gave him a warning and he called me a psycho and said I had problems, then tried to say I started this whole thing, when in fact, he started it with the psycho comment. Tyler Warren 17:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

First i kept laughing about what this guy was doing BUT ITS NO LONGER FUNNY. This human being keeps sending msgs although i stopped sending him, and it really "sucks". You can go to my talk page and see what he is saying and how he keeps harassing me and then acting like an angel who's being attacked by ME! SOMEBODY HELP HIM PLZZZZZZZZZ..
