Blast, I been templated! >< — Save_Us_229 05:56, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Mah-HA! {{do not remove}}; can you believe that actually exists!?! Peace, SexySeaBass 07:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I can't believe it exists either, actually I'm going to see that it is deleted. I didn't realize that was a real template. What good does it actually do? Oh the nonsense. :) — Save_Us_229 07:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't have it deleted! That fact that it's real is half the fun, and it is probably used on talk pages and such, to protect WikiProject notices and the like. Cheers, SexySeaBass 07:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Look at the history, it was created just today! :) It is only used on this page and on the creators talk page. — Save_Us_229 07:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear lord... I'm keeping it, just like /Finger and /Blank. Cheers, SexySeaBass 07:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Probably worth keeping as humor, just not in the template namespace, I would copy the code onto something like User:The Hybrid/Do not delete. :) — Save_Us_229 07:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

User:The Hybrid/Dontremove, created before your message. I'm going to have fun with this one :). Peace, SexySeaBass 07:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Have fun, peace :) — Save_Us_229 07:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Gurch's template

I noticed that you used the author requests deletion CSD template on Gurch's "do not remove" template. It doesn't appear that this is the case (correct me please if I am wrong) so perhaps a different CSD criteria or a trip to TfD is in order? Avruchtalk 07:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I am the only person remaining in the history of the template, and thus it qualifies under CSD G7. The history was moved. There is absolutely no reason that you can cite for keeping it other than the sake of process for keeping it. — Save_Us_229 07:58, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure, no need to get upset. I wasn't suggesting it should be kept, just that the correct CSD category should be used (so it doesn't get turned down, although with you as the only contributor in history that may not be likely). Still, it could've looked fishy that it was a move/redirect to Gurch but G7 by someone else. Avruchtalk 08:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Again with that anger thing. *sighs* Please read above paragragh from two days ago:

I'm not angry at all, it is a common misconception about when I reply to someone. Almost certianly if I use sarcasm or am telling someone something the don't like, they confuse it for anger.

That is all. :) While it looks fishy it couldn't have been seen as much of anything, it literally could met 2 (2 more if I didn't move it) criterias for deletion which I think should have said enough. — Save_Us_229 08:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Um, G6 applies too. SexySeaBass 08:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:CSD#G6 - non controversial housekeeping task. Eh, eh (raises eyebrows with each eh) SexySeaBass 08:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Without moving it I could have tagged it as G1 and I could probably tag it as T3 anyways, there are so many things wrong with that template. — Save_Us_229 08:10, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

He isn't on anymore, is he? I'll pop on over to CHQ, or Nikki and see if one of them will do it. Peace, SexySeaBass 08:16, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Laters. :) — Save_Us_229 08:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Neither are on, but it looks like he's gonna do it, so no worries. Peace, SexySeaBass 08:18, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

The Chronic has given you a bottle of Cristal! Cristal costs $350, and hopefully this bottle has made your New Year's Day better. Spread the spirit of the New Year by giving a bottle of Cristal to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Give a bottle of Cristal to someone else by adding {{subst:User:The Hybrid/Finger}} to their talk page with a friendly... wait...

lol, a 13 year old giving me a bottle of alcohol. I think we are going to be great friends. I glady accept this bottle for celebrating! :) — Save_Us_229 21:04, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not just alcohol. It's Cristal! It costs $350 a bottle! Do you know how much money I spent to buy everyone I know a bottle of Cristal? Here's an example of it (starting around 1:23. Do watch the whole video though; it's funny). :) The Chronic 16:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

FYI...

In case you do not subscribe to WikiEN-l: WikiEN-l Inconsistent image argument. - Rjd0060 (talk) 22:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Well if she wants a reply Image:Zoso.svg is located on the Misplaced Pages Commons, so how is it restricted to fair use. If it is copyrighted, then it needs to be removed from Commons. And looking at the file links on Image:Zoso.svg, that wasn't the only place that the image was placed on. — Save_Us_229 22:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

You are welcome to let her know. There has been one reply (see here). Other than that, if you don't want to subscribe, you can see the messages here. - Rjd0060 (talk) 22:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I know, I don't feel like subscribing just to reply to one post. If she actually thought this was not a copyright violation or thinks that Image:Zoso.svg is a copyright violation, I have nothing to say to her because she probably already got a more knowledgeable person to reply to her. — Save_Us_229 22:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I think you can send an email to the list, if you aren't subscribed. You can just send it to WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org . Or you can just not do anything...I don't expect much more talk on this thread. - Rjd0060 (talk) 22:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

No thanks, if she actually has a problem and wants to speak to me, she knows how to visit my talk page. — Save_Us_229 22:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Image:Paul VI 4.jpg

If you get a moment, could you have a look at this image? You tagged it as missing a valid fair use rationale, and I added what appears to be a compliant data and rationale template, including a rationale for each of the three articles that uses the graphic. Could you double check me and ensure that I correctly fixed the problem? I want to make sure that I did it the right way, as there are plenty of these images in need of work. Thanks in advance! UltraExactZZ ~ Evidence 00:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Most excellant, thank you for taking the time to add rationales for all three of the images uses. I made a slight backlink edit to the licensing template that had to be done, but you did a fine job otherwise. Thanks again for the work and for letting me know. — Save_Us_229 01:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

My pleasure - Now, I can just match this template where possible, and I should be good. Thanks again! UltraExactZZ ~ Evidence 03:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

SSP/ANI

If you really are not involved in sockpuppetry, which I have no reason to believe you are, please try to remain calm. I know how frustrating being accused of socking is, I've been there. Please try to remain cool. The Checkuser will set you free. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

There isn't a checkuser bold enough to make that silly request. — Save_Us_229 02:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree, so what've you got to worry about? - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

People serial stalking me again, apparently MegX had nothing better to do that stalk me and this other innocent user for a week. — Save_Us_229 02:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm aware of what's going on. Just try to wait it out....If the user wants to harass people, there could be a block for disruption. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Gosh, I mean, WTF?? indopug (talk) 05:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I feel the same way. >.> — Save_Us_229 05:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I think MegX has a problem with me because I don't agree with the way she organised stuff at the led zep wikiproject. indopug (talk) 05:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I think she just found a scapegoat because she was bad mouthing me on the en-wikipedia mailing list about Image:Zoso.svg. — Save_Us_229 05:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

BTW, can I ask you what country your editing from? — Save_Us_229 05:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

India. Although nothing from my edits would suggest so... Anyway, I think I've figured out the reason so many experienced and respected leave Misplaced Pages; baseless accusations like these. indopug (talk) 05:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I know, and I understand where your coming from and I've been there before and I hope you don't leave because of this. I am from the United States, but I could tell you weren't from somewhere here because most of your edits were accumulated during the time I was asleep at night (which is your day) :) — Save_Us_229 05:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

(unindent) What's checkuser? A simple way of clearing matters would be to go anon, and the IPs would reveal that we're from opposite sides of the globe. indopug (talk) 06:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Checkuser is essentialy an IP check to see if accounts been using the same IP, but I like your idea much better. :) — Save_Us_229 06:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I did my IP address in Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Save Us 229, your turn :) — Save_Us_229 06:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. :) How is it that you leave a message on both yours and mine talkpage? indopug (talk) 06:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Because I like the full conversation on my talk page so it isn't segmented. Some people don't like it segmented. I also added it to your page to notify you I have replied and it saves your time. Some people think it's a waste of time, but I don't mind. :) — Save_Us_229 06:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh ok, you do manually, I thought you had some cool software/script thingy :D indopug (talk) 06:46, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I don't, but thats a good idea for a script, I'll have to toss the idea around ;) — Save_Us_229 06:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Well I'm tired, it's 2 a.m. here, so good night, and good luck :) — Save_Us_229 06:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Good night :)indopug (talk) 06:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Glad you two got this all taken care of! - Rjd0060 (talk) 19:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Aye, me too! His idea to log out and post under our IP's was a rather brilliant idea, something I actually wouldn't have thought of. ;) — Save_Us_229 19:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure was a great idea! Maybe deserving of the "What a Brilliant Idea!" Barnstar {{subst:What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar|message ~~~~}} . - Rjd0060 (talk) 19:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Awarded. Thanks :) — Save_Us_229 19:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up

I'll look at the tool. Cheers, meshach (talk) 23:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Moe

I noticed that the Moe account was briefly used to edit. Though obviously nothing wrong, I'm just wondering it's use now (I thought you said you changed the password and logged out). The Chronic 23:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I changed the password and logged out, yes, but Ned Scott told me I could get it back since I still had e-mail enabled, so I did. I needed to look under my preferences for something and I forgot to log out and continued editing under it. Silly me ;) I'm not really sure what I want to do with it now, for right now it is a sitting duck. I guess I could use it for something else down the line.. — Save_Us_229 00:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

If you don't want it, I'll take it :P. SexySeaBass 02:52, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I'd be more suitable for the account. I wouldn't use the account for vandalism or anything like that. I really wouldn't. :) The Chronic 04:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

lol, I'll put it on eBay, how about that :P — Save_Us_229 04:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Wow! An accusation of sock-puppetry and a barnstar within 24 hours! What a day! Thanks again :D indopug (talk) 16:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Reubot

This account made its first edit 15 October 2004. At that time there was no mention of "bot" at WP:Username policy; that wasn't added until 17 months later. Gimmetrow 09:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I must have figured something like that once I found out his earliest edit was back in 2004. I guess it's not a violation. Although his image uploading is still troubling. I have commented on his talk page. — Save_Us_229 09:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Use of rollback

Your use of rollback here is entirely inappropriate. This was a good-faithed edit, and Misplaced Pages:BLP#Dealing with edits by the subject of the article clearly states "Anonymous edits that blank all or part of a biography of a living person should be evaluated carefully. When the subject is of ambiguous notability, such edits should not be regarded as vandalism" (emphasis mine). Not only was this a totally horrid use of rollback, but it was also a poor edit in general.

Your use of rollback in this instance was extremely problematic and harmful to what is presumably the subject of the article. I have removed your access to rollback and initiated a discussion on Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for rollback. Pursuant to the consensus from this discussion, your access to the rollback tool will be re-granted or the suspension endorsed (in which case the current status quo will remain).
