userpage

Hi please don't edit my user page and if you want to take somthing off it please tell me first.-Pediaguy16 01:10, 1 December 20

You can edit other peoples user pages?--Pediaguy16 03:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok on other wikis they will ban you if edit someone's user page.--Pediaguy16 03:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok sorry I still need to get use to this site.--Pediaguy16 03:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh I have another account called lostdude815 I just wanted to tell people that becuase on another wiki they banned me because of having two accounts and I didn't know that was bad.--Pediaguy16 03:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

yea--Pediaguy16 03:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok thanks again.--Pediaguy16 04:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

A few things up for deletion

Feel free to comment if you want. In my opinion both should go. RobJ1981 19:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Vlh

Will you please block this slow-speed vandal for me? He keeps inserting original research into Wikipedia despite warnings on his talk page and a massive discussion of the articles he's adding the text on, Grand Slam Champion and Triple Crown Champion (see history of articles). Consensus at the Pro Wrestling WikiProject and Policy state that unverified facts can't be inserted into Wikipedia. I've went through test4 with him (twice) and he still hasn't gotten the hint yet. semper fiMoe 02:38, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest taking this to WP:ANI since this isn't an obvious vandalism incident, and since the issue isn't especially pressing. -- tariqabjotu 02:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Protected2

Heh, the only reason I changed it was because Kelly Martin told me it looked like crap. Protected2 (maybe with a super duper padlock) would be good :) -- Tawker 03:01, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Here hold on let me fix it.--Pediaguy16 21:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Oh never mind.--Pediaguy16 21:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Ehh... sorry if I did something bad - I just wanted to continue the joke. ;) --PaxEquilibrium 11:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Nice joke there.

Eh

I'm a victim of an odd mistake... (again?)... Don't you think that I'm the black sheep of Wikipedia? :( --PaxEquilibrium 21:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Number of times template used?

I notice that the cutoff has moved down two places since Redux's last edit, and two people have been removed from the list since then (one by you, one by me) - maybe after X number of uses of a template on a single page it just gives out :). Seriously, I don't have any idea what is the problem. We could create an alternate template to use for part of the page, if nothing else works. NoSeptember 21:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

The alternate template didn't fix it. After the cutoff, it is recognizing the template as a normal article link, hence linking to the admin mainspace article page. It's beyond me, maybe we should ask at Village Pump:Tech for opinions. NoSeptember 22:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I replaced some templates above the cutoff line during my test, and they worked fine, so there is definitely something magical about the cutoff line. NoSeptember 22:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
We may have to at some point. First though, look at my reply at VP. I also notified Rich. NoSeptember 08:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Reply

Yes, do you? - Deathrocker 19:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the band Infernal Majesty, there is no evidence that shows that anybody has ever confused them with the band HIM. They are relitively obscure in comparison, play different styles of music and are from entirely different countries. It looks like a cheap advertisment. Also the term His Infernal Majesty does not direct straight to the band HIM's page anyway. It goes to a disambiguation, thus I shall moved that piece of information there instead.
Also, you brought obscure demos, and compilations into the main article, when it is only supposed to be a brief album discography and then a link to the HIM discography, like the David Bowie article is, for example. I'll make these changes. - 02:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

{{Protected2}}

I updated the statements page for the new code. I've only moved that tempalte to sprot for now, as it is brand new and may have room for community involvement. — xaosflux Talk 00:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Wrestling tag teams note

Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Professional_wrestling#Tag_Team_pages. I wasn't sure if you saw it yet or not. Basically it's a discussion about teams and what should go. I think a mass AFD should be made for many teams. RobJ1981 05:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Moral supports

Moral supports are rather insulting. You don't know if the candidate wants your pity. —Centrxtalk • 06:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't see as to how it could be rude, to be friendly. Moral support isn't just pity !votes, but rather a friendly gesture to reassure them. We wouldn't want an editor to leave Wikipedia because his final tally there was 0 support and 100 oppose, now would we? I know, I have been shut out completely on my first RFA here on Wikipedia and the aftermath of no one voting support can be a little hard to deal with (I mean you recover and move on, but it's very bitter those first few moments). Cheers! semper fiMoe 06:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Not rude, insulting. I don't think "All my support votes were superficial pity votes" is better than "People evaluated my candidacy and decided that I was not qualified for this esteemed position." Also, only 7 hours have passed since the voting has opened; you are essentially saying that you think the election is over for that candidate. If you don't think the candidate should be on the Arbitration Committee, you should not vote to put that person on the Arbitration Committee. —Centrxtalk • 07:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Look, I'm not going to sit here and argue that I wasn't intending to be insulting, I'm not trying to insult them, and thats that. But to respond to you, seven hours may have only passed but with as many voters as there have already been on some candidates pages, 0-50 with no support, I don't think it's insulting to give a hand of support. No, they aren't going to be elected into the ArbCom, with that big a difference, I don't see how they could be. As to your last comment about "If I don't wan't them on the ArbCom, then don't vote support", if it's fairly obvious that they aren't going to be elected into the ArbCom, and yes, 7 hours in some show that, I think it's more than acceptable to give them a little bit of happiness that someone supported them. As to your first comment on my talk about how they might not want my pity !vote, in my time here on Wikipedia, I haven't seen anybody respond negatively to a moral support and have seen them leave thank you notes for being so kind as to hand it out. Now, if you excuse me I must be off to better things rather than argue friviously with you over a nonsense topic. semper fiMoe 07:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Your message on my talk page

Hello Moe.

On my talk page you posted a message, saying that I have misinterpreted some things here. I will reply to each of your points in order.

  • First, it not disruptive to not respond to another persons comment, rude or incivil in some cases, but not disruptive.
    • Whether disruptive, rude, or uncivil, what is more at stake is that Pediaguy16 is making a WP:HOAX.
  • Edits like this are far more disruptive than letting an issue go.
    • I disagree with you here. I had asked Pediaguy16 over 5 or even 6 times, with no reply. If that's not rude or disruptive, because it was a perfectly legitimate and civil message, then I suggest you read up on Wikipedia talk page guidelines.
  • Adding a userbox is nothing very suspicious, as far as I tell, all you have to do to join is add the userbox, so asking him to remove it until he joins is rather redundant because all he has to do to join is add the userbox or add himself to the category, which the userbox automatically does.
    • Again, you are incorrect. The WP:CVU is a kind of WikiProject dedicated to countering vandals. I do not see Pediaguy16's name in the member category.
  • And I honestly don't know why you changed the "--" in my signature to "--" [1] That was rather pointless. semper fi -- Moe 21:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
    • It is my web browser (Dillo) that does this, and I am now using another (Konqueror). See User:Yuser31415/Talk archive 1#Your editor is replacing characters for one case.

Cheers, Yuser31415@?#&help! 22:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Stables and tag teams

I think that would probably work better: even though current teams and stables would be small, compared to former teams/stables. Currently, WWE only has a handful of them, as does TNA and other promotions. Teams in one section, stables in another for each article would probably work best. RobJ1981 01:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
