[edit] UNIX Vandalism

This is 68.205.3.225. I didn't vandalize that page, I found it vandalized and removed the erroneous section. If you were the original vandal, well... you know my IP address; I issue you the challenge to hack any of the Linux machines attached to this IP. :)

[edit] Cat

Why does it matter if the color of the box around the cat is pink. I was just trying to change the color.

[edit] Edit Summary

Also, please write an edit summary for each entry you make. It helps other users know what changes you have made and why. Kukini 15:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay. --Blackjack48 15:13, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Substituting templates

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. -Whomp 16:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmm...Didn't know about that. Thanks for telling me. --Blackjack48 16:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Bot Request

could you clarify what you wanted? My bot is already doing cleanup, but I could expand to more if you tell me what you're interested in. Please respond on my talk. Regards, Alphachimp ^talk 17:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. I can easily do anything related to finding and replacing, if that's what you're refering to. I'm afraid that I still don't quite understand. Check out my bot's edits to see what it's doing right now with cleanup (don't worry about the subst'ing). Alphachimp ^talk 23:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ice cream?

Hey... you started the Ice Cream wikiproject, but I haven't seen you around it lately. I've been doing quite a bit of work, but it's sort of lonely without any help (or at least encouragement). Care to step up? JesseW, the juggling janitor 08:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for adding those flavor lists; could I trouble you to source them? I presume they came from the official websites - just drop me a link with their URL, and I'll put the proper reference templates in. Or you could do it yourself. JesseW, the juggling janitor 07:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't the US participate in the funny game called world?

Hi,
I've been 84.160.3.23 who did the changes and merge proposals at 2006 United States heat wave, 2006 Australia heat wave and 2006 European heat wave. I'm just curious why the US heat waves justify their own article (removed merge template) while Europe and Australia still should be merged? I'd have understood if you would have removed the australian template considering the southern hemispheres heat wave has been half a year ago but otherwise I can't follow your thoughts... -- Edao 17:05, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review: San Francisco, California

Since you nominated the San Francisco, California article for FA (which it failed), I thought you might be interested in helping improve it. I submitted the article for peer review, and two editors (so far) have been kind enough to make a number (!) of suggestions. If you have time to work through a few of the problems it would be a great help!--Paul 01:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

We will be resubmitting the SF article as a Featured Article Candidate within 24 hours. --Paul 04:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Careful

Please be careful when using VP, it's a very powerful tool. I don't believe it was your intention but you reinserted vandalism here. Not a big deal just wanted to bring it to your attention. Please keep trying to fight vandalism.--Joe Jklin (T C) 01:43, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks for welcoming me. Are you a moderator? 00:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Please accept my thanks for your support in my successful RfA, which I was gratified to learn passed without opposition on October 25, 2006. I am looking forward to serving as an administrator and hope that I prove worthy of your trust. With my best wishes, --MCB 17:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to my user page

Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my wikipedia user page. I appreciate it. Zchris87v 04:50, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect reference conversion

Regarding this edit; I reverted it because the "reference" you converted was actually a footnote. It used the "{{ref|xxx}}/{{note|xxx}}" mechanism because the "<ref>/<references />" technique was already in use for the actual references/citation list.

I don't know if this was the original intent behind the separate mechanisms, but there seems to be no other way to keep separate footnotes and reference lists (which shouldn't be mixed).

[edit] RfA thanks

Thank you for the Support I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Blackjack48, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, Martinp23 14:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
