[edit] Spammy?

Why is Frogs Australia Network a "spammy link"? I can't understand how a non-profit website whose aim is to inform people of a declining taxa are considered spammy. It probably costs them money for us to link to them, as they have to pay for bandwidth and get no money from advertising. It is one of the few sites of its type in the world. --liquidGhoul 23:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Because it is used on so many different articles with the same identical typographical error in the same identical URL and surrounding text. --darklilac 00:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Social effect of evolutionary theory

...Heh! God I made a lot of typos! Really must stop editing Wikipedia when suffering from insomnia. Sorry! Adam Cuerden talk 21:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't be sorry. In no way were my changes a negative reflection upon yourself. There's a joke here about typo's and evolution but I can't get it out right now. --darklilac 21:48, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Typo fixing

I took a look at your edit log, and I have to say that I'm astounded. Whatever thanks you may receive for this thankless job is not nearly thanks enough. Thanks! --INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 00:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Echo that sentiment and raise ya one. —ExplorerCDT 20:59, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Me too!!! Thanks a lot! I know that when I get into something my typing goes out the window! — Fire e23 01:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bot?

I have a strong suspicion that this account is being used for a bot. The edits are all of one nature, occur suspiciously close together for hours on end, and make "corrections" that no human would make, short of acting maliciously. (See [1] "if you want to futher analyse → if you want to further analysis", [2] changes from British to American English, removal of apostrophe in "show's end").

Unauthorized bots are forbidden on Wikipedia - see WP:BOTS for the authorization procedure. Should this all be a misunderstanding and you really do have super-human powers of editing, I urge you to make note of both the different varieties of English and Wikipedia's rules regarding them.

[edit] I am NOT a bot

Really. It is a misunderstanding that has led to this unpleasant recrimination. The change from 'futher analyse' to 'further analysis' along with the multiple other spelling corrections to that article were made with my best intentions. This can be confirmed by viewing the word 'analyse' in Firefox 2 which shows it erroneously as a typo by the slightly flawed built in spell checker, which I have been using for the many (over 400 yesterday) unique article edits. As were the changes to the 'Upstairs, Downstairs' article, of which I am a big fan (seen every episode). Firefox 2's spell checker has issues with British spelling and apostrophes that led me to the momentary and human mistake, and very rarely repeated problem. Also, I recommend Merriam-Webster over Dictionary.com, as the latter is fallible on some British words. Truly, you are right IntrigueBlue. --darklilac 21:41, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay. My apologies. I didn't know Firefox now had a spell-checker. Incidentally, if you are relying on Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com, you may find the online OED useful. — Wereon 22:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the typo-fixing of paramyotonia congenita...I can't believe that I missed those. Keep up the good work! --Dpryan 20:41, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prank?

Hello Sir, You commented on an article created by myself with the assistance of special agent 231B and you have labelled it as a "Prank". You also labelled our contibutions to the DOD of Australia atricle as a prank. Please explain your comments. Also, please note, the images uploaded onto the website labelled as special agents 978A, 978B, & 438A were only photos taken many years ago for security and privacy reasons.

Speacial Agent 438A. Central Intelligence Unit Senior Internet Security Protocol Manager—The preceding unsigned comment was added by CIU438A (talk • contribs).


Ok, it's a funny prank. Although the typos are a giveaway for your future reference. This is the wrong place to play such a prank however. You can drop it now. --darklilac 16:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Is your name Michael Buchanan, because if it is, you will die. We have tactical teams everywhere looking for you, and when they find you, they are just going to take you out. If you aren't him sorry...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by CIU438A (talk • contribs).

[edit] WP:3O

Hello, you asked for a third opinion at WP:3O. First of all, a better place to ask about personal attacks is at Wikipedia:Personal attack intervention noticeboard. I have warned the user about the personal attack. According to the instructions at Wikipedia:Personal attack intervention noticeboard this must be done and they must attack again before the behavior can be complained about there.

I agree that the message is a little creepy. I'm not sure I'd take it seriously if I were you, but it is definately creepy. Good luck. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs) 17:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your input. I don't think I would have found that page on my own. Regardless, I think I will take a break from wikipedia for a little while. --darklilac 17:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Differences between the W.I.T.C.H. comic and animated series

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Differences between the W.I.T.C.H. comic and animated series, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Differences between the W.I.T.C.H. comic and animated series. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Trammel points

Thanks for the typo corrections. I can understand how separate is easily misspelled but easily was a horror show. --Johnalden 22:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TransJakarta

Thanks for typo corrections --W4wan 01:40, 14 January (GMT)

[edit] Cover Image

What the hell did you do to my image of "StarGate: Underworld"'s cover in the "Stargate comics" page?!? --Promus Kaa 22:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hell, the answer to that would be, I have done nothing to hell with it. I did not edit that image at all. --darklilac 05:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't mean to be accusative, but the edit history of the page said that you had fixed a "typo" in the StarGate Underworld entry, so I figured that you might have had something to do with the missing picture. If you didn't delete it, then I'd like to find out just who did, because there was no reason to delete that picture. I won't be able to upload it again anytime soon, because the image is on my other computer which is presently 600 miles away. I am really pissed at whoever got rid of this image. --Promus Kaa 15:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

I was just wondering who you were, cause you edited my "baby"-the Durham School of the Arts page, and I wanted to thank you in person if possible. Jonwilliamsl 01:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
