[edit] FlameViper

Actually I knew of his community ban minutes after YankSox carried it out. I wasn't sure if I should add the DYK template to his user talk page, and I even asked a few guys at IRC, but I just decided to add it anyway, in all fairness. Nishkid 64 02:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. — MichaelLinnear 03:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hahaha.

I was browsing Elaragirl's talk page, saw the red "User was banned for this post". I thought, "what 4channer put this in", then I lol'd. Trying to usurp moot, are we? ;) -Wo o ty Woot? contribs 06:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)\\

I heard Flameviper was a 4channer, so it seemed like what he would've wanted. — MichaelLinnear 03:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese family names?

I notice on Wikipedia Chinese family names are handled inconsistently. It can be hard to tell if you don't know Chinese. Is there a convention used on Wikipedia like capitalizing the family name? DavidCowhig 02:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I would assume that you would capitalize the family name. I don't know chinese either so I'm not really qualified to answer. — MichaelLinnear 02:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] comment on my talk page

please dont question my religion i am christian and i think homosexuality is wrong--yells at soup | Talk 04:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't. It's just that in the past users have gotten in trouble over content on their userpage. — MichaelLinnear 04:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

gawd i removed it happy now >_< --yells at soup | Talk 04:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry, I was just giving you a heads-up. Some people here are very particular about userpages. — MichaelLinnear 06:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverts

I appreciate your... support... on Uncyclopedia, but I would be careful reverting changes to Spanish text unless you know what it's saying, this actually restored incorrect Spanish. Milto LOL pia 01:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm apparently an idiot. Embarrassingly enough, I have 3 years of Spanish classes behind me, I should have have definitely known about that. Guess I'm rusty. — MichaelLinnear 06:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please sign my autograph page

Please sign my autograph page. A•N•N•Afoxlov e r PLEASE SIGN, ANYONE!!! 14:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. — MichaelLinnear 01:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reversions

Hey the ^{[citation needed]} tags were a joke. The page is a humorous one. You could have at least used the talk page before undoing somebody's work. Seriously. I won't bother reverting it back, but I hope you will reconsider and change it back yourself. It's HUMOR. Sue Rangell 01:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)^{[citation needed]}

Sure, I reverted for you. ^{[citation needed]} It just makes it harder to read. — MichaelLinnear 01:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remember to subst

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:uw-test1}} instead of {{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. -- Mufka ^(user) ^(talk) ^(contribs) 02:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. I really had no idea. — MichaelLinnear 04:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

P.S. You didn't either. — MichaelLinnear 02:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

You got me on that one. It didn't even occur to me that I needed to subst the subst when I was telling you to subst. -- Mufka ^(user) ^(talk) ^(contribs) 03:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
