[edit] Godzilla

Thanks for updating this - I missed a bit while trying to get rid of the "Reed is wrong - it's a dinosaur" "Sam is a fag - no way it's a dinosaur" nonsense. FreplySpang 17:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lady T.I.P.

Why is she still messing with me?? I am no longer arguing with the girl, she's the one who still leaving me rude messages. Georgia Bird 21:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Next time, sign your name. bibliomaniac15 01:05, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking it's the same user. If they strike again, report them on WP:AIV. bibliomaniac15 01:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We Appreciate It

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Here's a little gift from all of the grateful Wikipedians that appreciate you righting the wrong seemingly everywhere. thanks Ganfon 01:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Gratz HalfShadow on your first barnstar! I was going to give you one, but I decided to wait a little bit. Anyway, keep up the great work and vandal-fighting. Image:Crystal 128 ksmiletris.pngNishkid64 02:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hey, thanks for the barnstar! No problem about the revert, you're welcome any time (any time I'm logged on to see it, that is). -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 19:01, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Newbies

Sorry, you're partially right, but the fact that the accounts first edit was to completely copy someone else's userpage, and then to vandalise using the "revert" summary, is classic long-term vandal behaviour, although perhaps I should assume more good faith. Mak (talk) 00:23, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:170.158.38.49 and User:170.158.38.50

I agree, these are likely IPs of the same school. Unfortunately I'm not aware of a "maybe school IP" template. Best, Gwernol 21:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please remember to subst.

Hello, HalfShadow, I would like to remind you to subst warning templates on user talk pages. You can do this by using {{subst:test2}} instead of {{test2}}. Thanks! --SonicChao 22:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi HalfShadow. First, you can check who is an admin by looking at the list Wikipedia:List_of_administrators. That said any editor can legitimately leave a message such as the above, whether they are an admin or not. On the question of {{test}} templates, SonicChao is correct that you should always subst: them - see the instructions at Template:Test. Best, Gwernol 01:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Question on Gwernol's Talk Page (Whoops Gwernol Beat Me to It)

Hi there HalfShadow. I saw your question on Gwernol's Talk Page. Adding the "subst:" tag makes sure that the version of the warning template you were using is the one that existed at that time. When you do not add the "subst:" tag it will be susceptible to change if the template is ever edited (ex. like when the template itself is vandalized). It is strongly recommended to practice "subst:" regularly on Wikipedia because of such cases.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wilsoncruz

Re your message: Yes, I'm aware of standard procedure. If you look at the edit history of W. S. Gilbert, you will see I was reporting the accounts for being part of a coordinated attack against the FA. These accounts were specifically created to vandalize and would not heed any warnings. -- Gogo Dodo 00:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Re your message: Unfortunately, some people think it's "fun" to try to screw up other people's work. Probably some kid with nothing better to do. Rather unfortunate. -- Gogo Dodo 00:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Supervised Injection Sites

I don't know what consensus I need to change it, it seems to be me versus you, but I have website of the project on my side. Whose 'consensus' do i need to make the correct changes? The fact is they are known as "supervised" sites but they are incorrectly known as safe sites. Canadianehme 20:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Canadianehme

Safe injection sites and supervised injection sites refer to exactly the same thing, but calling it safe is just incorrect since it is refering to Insite and Insite calls themselves a supervised injection site. Canadianehme 20:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Canadianehme

[edit] Basilisk

Right, but (1) time varies in the Marvel Universe, and (2) we're not supposed to lift handbook info unnecessarily for copyright reasons (one encyclopedia can't copy another). Doczilla 06:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Understood. So yes, if we were to leave in such a reference at all, it would certainly be yours which was based on a specific item of text rather than "years" which was based on either speculation or real world passage of time. Given the circumstances of the edit wars going on with the Basilisk article and Thor-related articles, I certainly understand your wanting to make sure it's clear where you got your info. Doczilla 21:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: 24.232.114.240

Based on the contribution history and warnings it could very easily be the IP of that account. Better approach an admin about it and see what they can do.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: User:POPart page

I suggest reading CSD criteria G1 again, especially the patent nonsense page that is linked. If You still think that the text meets the criteria don't hesitate to comment. Perhaps revisit also Wikipedia:User page. Thanks, feydey 21:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Franklin and Granny's Secret

I was just wondering where you saw the film under the title "Franklin and The Secret Of Turtle Lake" (by the way, per WP:MOS, "the" and "of" should not be capitalized). The French title is "Franklin et le trésor du lac", and IMDB mentions only two English-language titles, "Franklin and Granny's Secret" (which it says is the "informal English title") and "Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure" (which it says was a "working title", though it's actually the direct translation of the French title). A google search for Franklin and The Secret Of Turtle Lake" yields zero results. Esn 19:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry What?

I'm gonna have to ask you which article you're talking about, without that I can't really help you. Canadian-Bacon 19:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh ok, in which case it was deleted because it had been voted for deletion as an Afd here and was a repost of deleted material. Canadian-Bacon 21:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: WP:AN/I

Yes, there is a way: you can make a request for an IP check at Wikipedia:Requests for Checkuser. - Mike Rosoft 01:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

  • The account to be checked needs to have been used recently. I am only aware of User:Userbox and User:Revolution W. (Are there more?) - Mike Rosoft 01:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: User_talk:61.199.43.116

sorry for not logging in, yes it was me editing my own account --Amin123 01:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Kerry

Sigh. I really should make better use of the preview button. -- Vary | Talk 01:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:MPOGD.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MPOGD.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. MECU≈talk 03:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 71.157.140.230

Yes, but if indeed the vandal does use rotating IPs, then blocking longer will only cause collateral damage. --210physicq (c) 03:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 59.101.178.197

Greetings! Looks like I nailed him at exactly the same instant you left the message [1] -- not sure how, probably because I just happened to be watching RC for a minute then. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 06:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Keep it to yourself

Do you think that might be a bit harsh? Occasionally all editors have good views when it comes to inclusion in Wikipedia. Also, adding personal attacks in summaries, even if they are to vandals, is typically frowned upon. Don't feed the trolls, I guess. Logical2uTalk 21:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Image size

No, it's too large. If you take the 'px' thing out of the image thumb altogether, it auto-sizes it to 180px wide, not 300px so that's probably a good place to start. I chose 200px for that picture because it was 'easy', and looks much less clumsy. 86.148.127.202 01:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my user page! --Nevhood 02:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I had to do it quite a few times now myself. There's really no respect among these vandals. --Nevhood 02:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Very true. The vandals will never achieve anything here. --Nevhood 02:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to your message on my talk page

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I thought it was used in the "inappropriate" manner. Thanks again. 72.67.21.73 03:24, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

For reverting the vandalsim on my page. Nice call on that vandal also. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 03:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Me too

Thanks for rv-ing that v to my user page! delldot talk 01:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting my page as well! Real96 05:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Funniest cough evar.

Congratulations. You've made me giggle.

I hereby award you this: :3

It's a kitty face. PumeleonT 03:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] it is ironic

whats worse, is that i actually lost a minute of my life having to read his paragraph for validity. im seriously dumber now. the_undertow talk 03:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV - User:John196920022001 not blocked

This editor has been regularly contributing since January 5, 2006. Please have a bit more respect for established editors even if they have somewhat long usernames. Also note that the numbers in his username are years, and not random numbers. --  Netsnipe  ►  17:35, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy Delete Tag on Yeah, I Figured That Much

Please keep in mind that after you put a speedy delete tag on an article, it is a good idea to inform the author of the page that it has been nominated. There are templates in the pink box that you can copy and paste to their talk page to let them know. This gives them the chance to contest it. If it isn't on their watch list, they might not find out for a while. --Cyrus Andiron t/c 12:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smile

Purgatory Fubar Converse or Snafu has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Thank you for reverting vandalism on my talk page. Purgatory Fubar Converse or Snafu 21:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yeah, I know

But it seemed like I should do it anyway. I'd hate for someone like that to see nothing happen and think that means they can get away with it if they have a good enough threat. African American and white people have both been sprotected, and User:Centrx did a short rangeblock, so hopefully that will dissuade them better. Natalie 04:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:SandyCheeksInBikini3.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SandyCheeksInBikini3.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 06:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] QuarterShadow's blanking

QuarterShadow blanked User talk:Turok 19. Normally, I would revert such vandalism, however I am unsure what to do here.

Thanks for trying to help squeeze the issues out. ;) CSP 20:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Turok Socks

I'd take the socks to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser. They may be able to find the underlying IP and issue a block to it.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Checkuser procedure

Hi, I am a clerk assisting the Checkusers with their work. I just wanted to thank you for listing your case in the IP check section. I requested your original posting to be deleted. Good luck with your request! -- lucasbfr talk 01:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry I am tired, it is almost 4 AM, and I screwed up a merge just before ;) -- lucasbfr talk 01:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Them Turok socks

Question for you. Do you know why some of them are listed as socks of Turok 1 (talk • contribs) and others of Turok 19 (talk • contribs)? Might it not be easier to recode them all to one big (and sadly still growing) list? I'd be happy to help. Flyguy649talkcontribs 04:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Romulus-dderidex.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Romulus-dderidex.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
