Congrats!

Congratulations! I knew you'd make it :) If you have any questions about your new admin powers, just drop me a line. Have fun! Grutness...wha? 10:40, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Popups tool

Congratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Misplaced Pages:Tools/Navigation popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is to paste the following into User:Lectonar/monobook.js: 

// ] - please include this line 
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' 
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');
popupShortcutKeys=true; // optional: enable keyboard shortcuts
popupAdminLinks=true;   // optional: enable admin links

There are more options which you can fiddle with listed at Misplaced Pages:Tools/Navigation popups. Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! Lupin|talk|popups 12:12, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

The arrival of your welcome message coincided with the creation of my user page so I thought you were running an automated message robot of some kind. Obviously, I was quite mistaken and hope you accept my apologies for answering so late. Cheers, GrafZahl 13:13, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Can't find location of article. please help!

Hi again. I'm having trouble finding the actual location of my article Holy Tantra Jin-Gang-Dhyana Buddhism. I can find it amongst my contributions, but it has been removed from under some sub-titles. I'm still new here, so don't really know how Misplaced Pages operates. please excuse my ignorance.--Vajrabell 04:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I added a link to the Swedish wikipedia. Is it commonplace to then go and edit on the other foreign wikipedias, and give them all a link to it? I refer to sv:Kategori:Bhutan. It would be a bit mundane to edit in all of them I think, so is this done by a program/robot/bot? Thanks. --Dangherous 12:25, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Zu Mutter Erde

Du hattest mich um eine Zusammenfassung gebeten. Die volle Geschichte hier zu erzählen, würde wohl zu weit führen, ich geb deshalb mal eine Kurzfassung. Mutter Erde wurde recht kurz nach seinem Auftauchen in der deutschen Misplaced Pages ohne Sperrverfahren wegen einer vorgeworfenen Signaturfälschung infinit gesperrt. In den Monaten danach beschäftigte er sich neben spärlichen Artikelbeiträge im Bereich Pornographie hauptsächlich damit, Benutzerdiskussionsseiten mit Links auf externe Forenbeiträge zuzuspammen. Die infinite Sperrung ohne Beschluss habe ich zwischendurch mal aufgehoben und Mutter Erde wurde, nachdem ein Vermittlungsversuch gescheitert war, mit einem offiziellen Communitybeschluss gesperrt. Weitere Antworten geb ich auch gerne im IRC (#wikimedia, nick elian). --Elian 17:03, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Elian , verrate doch dem Lectonar auf welche externen Forenbeiträge sie verlinkt hat. Das interessiert ihn bestimmt. Grüssle. Gustav Fröhlich 21:12, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Brookie here - thanks for the note. Some of these articles are difficult to call - and as a new Admin I am still learning! I had thought it was caught and there was not a lot of anything in the article - but we live and learn - we'll see if anyone complains or re-creates! Kind regards :) ...en passant! 12:28, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the hint - I haven't been doing that - but will from now on! :) 12:37, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

New Article Link?

Hi,I remember when I first came to Misplaced Pages, there was a 'new articles' link right at the bottom of the main page. But I can't find it anymore. Have I remembered incorrectly, or did sth happen to it?--Vajrabell 10:38, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Transclusion

I'll take my life into my hands and hit you with the boilerplate. ;-)

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Keep whacking those vandals! --GraemeL 20:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Protecting deleted pages

Hi Lectonar - me again - do you know how to protect deleted pages - I have noticed that there are such things (see Short Pages on the Specials' page) - but don't know how you do it. Any ideas? ...en passant! 06:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Your Babel template looks cool as well - unfortunately I can't nick that as well, as I only just about muddle through in English - and so couldn't populate such a large list! :) ...en passant! 08:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I've had a look at your Burger article - which was interesting - can you find a photo somewhere? I have tweaked the English a little bit (hope that's okay)- to make it flow a little easier. I am in awe of those (like you) that can contribute so well in more than one language - something I would love to be able to do. Toodle Pip! :) ...en passant! 09:41, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Eh...Why did you deleted that...

Look, the article about Willie Trombone is not a test. This guy really exsist, well uh... In a game that people dosen't know very well. May I have further explanations of why did u deleted it?

answered on anon users talk-page

OK

Hi, it's me, the guy who created the Willie Trombone article thingy whatever...... So, it has been a mistake, well, sory about that too, I forgot to add the source.

My apologies!

I'm sorry that I blocked the IP you use! I'm glad that you were able to unblock it and carry on. I'm sure unblocking it didn't cause any problems, I had the feeling that the person doing the vandalising was a young kid and probably got bored when they could no longer "contribute."

Award Wiki birthday to you! Wiki birthday, dear Lectonar! Wiki birthday to you!

Congratulations on your first Wikibirthday at Misplaced Pages (November 5, 2005.). On behalf of the community, we'd like to thank you for your countless edits in the past year! Keep it coming!.

This Wiki Birthday Balloon was awarded to you by: SoothingR

Thank you very much indeed for the wiki-birthday message...just out of curiosity (as I don't suppose you've been watching me the whole time, but who knows...), how do you find the birthday dates (is it a bot?)? Regards.--Lectonar 07:02, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Haha, I could only WISH that I was able to code such a bot. I use the List of Wikipedians in order of arrival to see who has to be congratulated on his/her Wikibirthday. It may be a little sour to those who didn't add theirselves to the list, but it would really be too much work for me otherwise. -- SoothingR 07:41, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Featured article for December 25th

I noticed you have listed yourself in Category:Atheist Wikipedians. That said, you will probably be interested in my suggested featured article for December 25th: Omnipotence paradox. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-28 08:24

substing

I just tried it with my user page at my sandbox and it worked just fine, images and all.
