User talk:PAK Man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, PAK Man, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy talk contribs

[edit] Umm... Yeah

Sorry about all of what just happened. You can take a look at User_talk:Billy_go_zoom#Okay to see my problem. Anyway, good luck with vandal patrol. A very fun job! Billy go zoom 05:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, it's okay. Just try not to do anything like that ever again. --PAK Man 05:34, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I think more than anything I wanted to see how much it took to be banned, and if I would be noticed as a WOW type vandal, since Billy=Willy and Wheels=Zoom, but maybe too stretched. If no body did anything I was going to fix it myself, but I wasted valuable resources more than anything. Billy go zoom 05:36, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Wendy Bagwell

If you will take a look at the discussion page on the Wendy Bagwell entry, you will see that I clearly indicated why it was removed. This article is one I wrote for my own website. It was lifted word for word, without permission and gives me no credit.

You can view the original version here: http://www.musicscribe.com/2005/04/wendy-bagwell-biography.html

I wrote the original article on April 10, 2005.

Wikipedia is a fine website, but not when users steal what others have written. At the very least, when I take down a violation of my copyright, that should be respected.

David Bruce Murray

I sincerely apologize for doing that. I'm fairly new at reverting vandalism, and I didn't think to check the Talk Page. I hope that you will accept my apology. It was a mistake on my part, and I admit that. From now on, I will be more careful with how I revert other people's edits. Again, I am truly sorry for what happened. --PAK Man 05:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
That's OK. I actually have a Wiki username, but I was so annoyed when I saw what had happened that I didn't take the time to sign in. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.32.117.120 (talk) 05:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Question

I was wondering, when all or most of the content was deleted from a page, how do you restore it without having to copy and paste the text and remove the dashes? Thank you! Wikipedian27 23:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Click the Edit this Page button, click on the last edit, and then click undo. Which page were you referring to? --PAK Man 23:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Refer

I was referring to the one you just edited, The Bottle Rockets or something like that. Wikipedian27 23:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Last edit

Where is the last edit link? Thank you! Wikipedian27 23:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I think I gave you bad directions earlier. Click on History. The latest edit is at the top of the page. Click on Compare Selected Versions. The one on the right is the latest edit. If you want to revert a revision instead of clicking undo, go back until the version you want to revert to is on the right. Click Edit this Page at the top of the screen. It will tell you that you are editing a prior version of the page, but edit it anyway. But if your patrolling edits on the Recent Edits page, click the link that says 'Diff' on the far left of the screen. You could also check out this link here. Hope this helps! --PAK Man 01:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] blocked

The blocked period has expired. I thought that I could remove the tag. am I wrong? Vartanm 03:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

It's generally not appreciated to delete the tag stating that you have been blocked. I've seen it reverted on other people's pages before. PAK Man 03:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thanks

No problem. ;) I'm constantly refreshing that user's contribution page. I doubt that user realises how easy reverting their vandalism is, lol. Robotman1974 03:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

I didn't mean to delete the sandbox's template. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pepperboi (talk • contribs) 03:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC).

That's okay. Just be more careful next time. PAK Man 03:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You didn't vandalize anything. Kgb23 threw a NON-SUBST'ED vandalism 4 warning on you. Did that to me too.

--Addict 2006 22:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Addict 2006. I was very confused as to what I had vandalized. PAK Man 22:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
For your sake and own good, don't be. This Kgb23 may not be as forgiving as I am. --DId a little Vader voice, Addict 2006 23:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ALERT 2 - Kgb23 on the move

User talk:Kgb23#I'm done stated he has another account. Watch yourself. --Addict 2006 04:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for the warning. --PAK Man 04:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Change Username

[edit] PAK man → PAC Man

You know, I've never actually played Pac-Man before in my life? The reason I have this user name is because the P. A. K. are my initials. My aunt gave me this nickname when I was about a year old, and almost 20 years later, it's my internet screen name. Now you know! --PAK Man 23:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
