[edit] USAA
I've left a pretty unequivocal message with today's protagonist. If they make another bad edit, I will block their account. That's more desirable than locking many people out of the article altogether. Let's see if we can do this in a targetted way where possible. -Splashtalk 19:36, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] United States Fourth Fleet
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the United States Fourth Fleet article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

[edit] Germanium
- Re: [1] - LANL was used as a general, non-footnoted reference, just leave it there. The <references/> by the way is a stand-alone tag independent of the item above, you can edit them separately. (WP:FN) Femto 12:32, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- For my iteration, how does a non-footnoted reference differ from an external link? LeyteWolfer 01:37, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Samaraweera
- This guy represented his country at the highest possible level. Test cricket is only open to ten countries who meet a decent standard of cricket, it is not like some country in Africa getting a wildcard for the Olympics. Clearly he meets WP:BIO.Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 01:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hope you're reading this here, but can his importance be made clear in the article?LeyteWolfer 01:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it did say that he played Test cricket - which is implied to be international. I have expanded it, but if you see List of Test cricketers, the vast majority are in a similarly poor state. Unfortunately Sri Lanka is the only Test country from whom we do not have an active cricket wikipedian, so apart from the big names currently playing, the articles could be terrible for a while yet unless someone else decides to take a particular interest in obscure cricketers above the more successful ones. Thanks, Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 02:14, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- Understood. I'm not a cricket fan, but simply a roaming editor, so I'm no expert. I just feel that it serves very little purpose for the average person (such as myself) who visits the page. There is very little information as to who he is (even his stats are missing a great deal of information) or what the various terms mean (such as test, which had no meaning before you shared them with me). Other than those concerns, I don't feel like it /must/ be deleted. I do think you and I agree it /must/ be expanded, however. Thank you for the replies. LeyteWolfer 05:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Rating
- Hey, I noticed that you rated FASA as GA class. I've changed it to Start class- to be GA class, an article has to pass WP:GAC. Thank you for taking the time to rate an article, however! --PresN 20:09, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the hint. --LeyteWolfer 01:40, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please sign your posts
As a courtesy for other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments and your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info read Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 02:04, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Typically, for IP users, I tend to assume that they are all dynamic IP addresses, meaning that their IP address could change from day to day, as determined by their ISP. If a user receives a t3 or t4 within the past day, and vandalizes again, (for me) I block them only then. See Template:SharedIP for more information about dynamic IP addresses. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 02:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

- Roger. While I disagree in this case because of the typical nature of the vandalization noted, I can understand the safety factor in your policy. --LeyteWolfer 02:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sockpuppet
- What is your basis for this allegation: [2]. You made it 10 days ago, and there is no explanation on the talk page, a link to an open case, or an actual open case which involves this username over at Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets or WP:RFCU.--Crossmr 06:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- I can honestly say I don't remember. I do know in my investigation of how to deal with SPs, I hadn't run across either of the two pages you provided. What is more proper: listing a possible offender on one of the two pages or both? --LeyteWolfer 16:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- usually you want to list it at suspect sock puppets, or AN/I to get some input to make sure you're not seeing things with your evidence. But if you can't remember why you thought this person was a sockpuppet that makes things more difficult as usually you'll provide some evidence with your claim (i.e. a user owning others comment, 2 or more users editing identical articles at the same time etc). If you can remember what it was that tipped you off, let me know and I'll see if I can't make the same connection.--Crossmr 23:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Why? (Editing User:Gungadin/sandbox2)
- Why have you tagged my sandbox for deletion? Editing User:Gungadin/sandbox2 I have not completed the article yet and so am constructing it in my sandbox before I add it to main space. I have done this several times in the past and not had them tagged for deletion.Gungadin 17:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- The thing is, you called it "Editing User:Gungadin/sandbox2" instead of "User:Gungadin/sandbox2," so it shows up as "Editing User:Gungadin/sandbox2." I suggest moving it to the latter title, before it gets deleted. --LeyteWolfer 17:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh I see. I dont understand why the name changed like that though. Will that happen everytime I edit it now? Gungadin 17:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- No, it won't. As some one noted, I should have moved the article myself (instead of setting it up for speedy deletion). No harm, no foul. --LeyteWolfer 17:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Biofuel, History
Hey, sorry to have screwed up your nicely cleaned up section, but there were inaccurate parts that had to be cleared up :P --Tunheim 19:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- I may have cleaned it up before your edit, but I don't see that you changed anything of mine. Anyhow, its a cooperative effort, right? Good luck. --LeyteWolfer 03:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Riscio/FYEO
- Hi LeyteWolfer, I've been reading the short stories recently. I really don't see the connection between the plots in the short stories and the film, I think the film just used elements from the short stories then used the plot from the LALD novel. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.216.24.4 (talk) 00:33, 23 January 2007 (UTC).
- Sorry, dude: no clue what you're talking about. --LeyteWolfer 03:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- On the For your Eyes Only page where it says that the film is based on the short stories.
- Gotcha, understand now. Also, remember to sign your comments (on Talk & Discussion pages) with 4 tildes (~), located on the button bar above the comments field. That will automatically 'sign' your name and date to the comment. --LeyteWolfer 20:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Done. By the way, given the sucess of Casino Royale, I've tried taking down the DCINB links on the Daniel Craig page, but someone keeps putting them back up. Is it possible, to take the links down then put a lock on that part of the page? (please sign comments --LeyteWolfer )
- Not without an admin's effort. I suggest you go to the article's talk page and discuss why the links are necessary to the article. Ask for a consensus opinion. Once you have that, any reversions of your entries will be contrary to concensus, and an admin may step in, if necessary. --LeyteWolfer 04:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIAV
Please do not inform the vandals that they have been reported to admins. This may anger them in some strange way, or they could be encouraged by this comment, and continue to vandalize.
So, next time you report a vandal to WP:AIAV, please just do that alone, and don't tell the vandal they have been reported. Hopefully that made some sense. If it didn't... If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 23:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP:AIV
Okay thanks for telling me. I though vandals could be blocked if they had recieved the bv template too. Thanks for clarifing! | AndonicO Talk · Sign Here 18:56, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- The {{bv}} template. I use it often, sometimes the users get blocked, but I guess I should go with test4, just to be safe. By the way, do you have a program installed to edit the orange "new messages" bar? Because mine doesn't say "You have new messages (last change)" anymore (the last 15 minutes/your messages), it says "Your user talk page has been edited (last change).". | AndonicO Talk · Sign Here 19:05, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
