[edit] Vandal on the same IP as I am

Hello, I don't know where else to ask this so I'm asking it here as you have dealt with User:Bobberton recently and my problem pertains to him. See, the problem is this. He and I live in the same house and so use one of the same IP addresses. We each have more than one, however, which I hope can be construed as proof that neither of us is a sockpuppet of the other. His other IP is his school, and my others are my school and the public library where we live. As you know, he recently posted a junk nonsense article (Nerd Blacklist), which you speedied. He has expressed to me IRL a desire to continue vandalizing the wiki until he is eventually permabanned. I would like to express my distance from his attitude and request that if and when he is banned only his school IP is banned - I think I can deal with anything he would do on the home computer simply by forcing him into line, and I don't want to have to go through a proxy or something to access Wikipedia. So what I am asking is, is there any way to conclusively distance myself from him and make sure none of his idiocy will impact me or my username? Thanks! Suntiger 18:33, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I would recommend that you place a note at the top of the IP's talk page explaining (in the shortest terms possible) that you share this IP with the vandal. I know of no way to conclusively distance yourself or prove yourself not to be the same person if you continue to use the same IP. Who controls the IP you both use? If it is you, perhaps you can look into controls (parental?) over his access to this site. I am not a developer so you might consider listing your problem on Wikipedia:Village pump or Wikipedia talk:Vandalism in progress for some expert views on your problem. - Tεxτurε 21:42, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Have one on my userpage. Neither of us uses the raw IP as an anon, it's just username conflict. And the IP is controlled by our parents.
Fuzz. My other brother has signed up as User:Kuetipo and is vandalizing (Dead Puppies, please speedy if an admin reads this, the article is bosh). I am not him either. Suntiger 23:47, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hrm. I think the only solution would be to get your own IP somehow - either another 'net connection, or only edit from somewhere that your brothers don't. BTW, I removed the duplicate section title on this page for you. Alphax (talk) 06:05, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
Yeah, I could do that, but then when they get banned I won't be able to use Wikipedia as a reference tool at home, which would annoy me greatly. 64.252.65.234 15:53, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
That was me. Forgot to login. Suntiger 15:54, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Panorama software

Hey there. I use PtGui to create the panoramas. It makes things really easy, and almost always manages to line the seams up really well. The only time you'll have problems is when the vast majority of the overlap is sky or something like that. I also use a plugin called smartblend which seems to do a better job of 'guessing' where to end one image and begin the next, so it ends up looking more natural and seamless. PTGui isn't free unfortunately but smartblend is. You can download an evaluation copy of it though. I'd recommend it. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 16:15, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Excellent! Thank you man, I'll make sure I check those out. I actually have like 5 panoramas sitting around that I have never actually stitched :P Suntiger 22:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
No problem. :) As for smartblend, last I checked, it was available, but here it is for you anyway[1]. Just copy it into a folder and point PTGui to the exe, pretty simple! Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 11:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Woo, yeah! I'll have to try that out today, thanks! Suntiger 12:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thanks
Suntiger, thank you for participating in my RfA. It passed with an amazingly unopposed 77/0/1. Thanks for the support everybody! If you see me doing anything wrong, want to ask me something, or just want to yell in my general direction, leave me a note on my talk page. I promise to try and knock out Wikipedia's problems wherever I may find them!

[edit] Alison Krauss

Hey Pete, thanks for the vote! About the images: The fair use images (like the Awards image) are purposefully of low-resolution where possible as that helps the fair use rationale. As for the lead image, a free-use image always trumps a fair use one and thus far that is all we have been able to come up with (I have requests out but people aren't responding). The image of her at the Opry right below makes her facial features very clear if someone really needs to see her. Staxringold talkcontribs 04:22, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re GE Emulator

That picture, I don't believe was me. It was uploaded by someone else. I did this one and this one, and a few other non-GE games (Perfect Dark and I think Diddy Kong Racing). I can't recall the name of the Emulator. I definitely don't have it installed anymore. Sorry I can't help. K1Bond007 05:46, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
