[edit] Thanks

Thanks! I've just started this RC patrolling stuff today, so I was bound to make a mistake at some point. Thanks again! --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 01:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm..., I wonder what's with that? It may be a delay in the servers, but I don't know... --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 01:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{hangon}} vs. {{csd}}

I hope it's okay to ask you this, but you look like a pretty friendly guy and I am new to Wiki. You placed a speedy deletion tag on the page Adrian Johann Gracias-Flor and someone replaced your tag with the "hangon" tag. Should your tag have been replaced or should both tags be on the page? Thanks! Literacola 00:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Excellent question, Literacola. The answer is, both. Effectively, I said, "Hey, hold on. This page needs to be deleted." The author replied by saying, "Wait, wait...this page deserves to exist, and let me explain why." His contest of my tag does not supersede mine, it's placed right under it, to let people know the deletion is contested. And as a general note, never be afraid to ask questions! Be bold! I will attempt to give a knowledgeable answer as quickly as I possibly can. Welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope you enjoy yourself! --HubHikari 01:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I was right, you are friendly. :) Okay, as an addendum to my previous question--if I see a page with only the "hangon" tag and no "db-bio" (or similar), should I re-add the "db-bio" tag or will the admins or whatever omniscient gods who have the power here at Wiki know to review the page with only the "hangon" tag? Literacola 01:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

In general, if you see a lone {{hangon}} tag, you should replace the CSD tag if there is one in the history. This is mainly because removing the CSD tag also removes the page from the speedy deletion category, making it harder for admins to find pages they need to review. Another excellent question. --HubHikari 01:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage vandalism

Just to let you know that I reverted some vandalism on your userpage. Sorry if you'd rather I hadn't. ...adam... ^{(talk • contributions)} 00:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Always a pleasure - just know that people sometimes don't like others to change their Userpage. Glad I could help. ...adam... ^{(talk • contributions)} 15:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
