I'm curious on why you named yourself Antelope In Search Of Truth? Why antelopes? --TBC??? ??? ??? 02:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Long story. Old gamer tag.  :) (What brought you to my pad, out of curiousity?) (Antelope In Search Of Truth 21:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC))

Thanks!

Hey TBC, I'd really like thank you for taking the time to vote at my RfA. I withdrew due to certain controversies, but I appreciated your vote and hope to see you here in the future. Thanks again. --Khoikhoi 05:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Your username and Homestar Runner

Any correlation there? Just curious, because I saw you on recent changes and thought, I wonder if that's TBC as in The Brothers Chaps? —User:ACupOfCoffee@ 08:24, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Signature Question

I'd like to make mine a grey T, a maroon K and a grey E with just a talk tab. How dunnit? I know nothing about coding, and I tried practicing in my preferences. Could you help? TKE 02:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

No I don't, but I'm a quick study. I was viewing other sources and trying to figure it out, such as yours since it's also three letters. If you can give me a step guide, I can do it! TKE 02:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Right, the problem was not using the Raw signature! Okay, talk in red? TKE 03:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, got distracted. Now, I've got it how I like it. I tried to add the superscript, but got an HTML conflict. What do I need if I just want talk in gray?TKE 03:21, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

This is fun, btw.

  • GRR, not any more. I've got TKE working fine. I'm trying to add the last bit, and getting an HTML error. Any idea of what's wrong? Otherwise, this suits me fine for now :) TKE 03:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I can put it in here and it works? This is nuts. Talk
  • Damn. I copied and pasted. 'S okay, I'll leave it without the talk. Thanks for the help!
  • I worked it out with this. Thanks so much! TKE 04:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Denvilles railway station

Hiya you voted "Delete" on the Denvilles railway station article. I've provided a new source and possible explanation for the lack of other verification. Could you please review your vote? I appreciate that you may not want to change it after seeing the evidence, of course! Vizjim 10:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from a lurker

Hi! I wanted to thank you for the welcome message you left on my talk page; the information it has is quite useful. --Tyrdium 00:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Arab Israeli Conflict

Just so you know, out of my grace I decided to not eliminate you with everyone else. Bow down to me. T K E 07:59, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the sad thing is that I do get it. Nothing like an oxbow lake to get a conversation started. I'm off for a day, doing a lame April Fools in the meantime. Bienvue! T K E 08:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Image:Admin mop.PNG Hello TBC, how are you? Thanks for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (88/3/1), so I am now an administrator.

Once again thank you and with kind regards Gryffindor 17:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

User talk:Tomkurts

Your welcome at User talk:Tomkurts accidentally included the {{helpme}} template - can you find out why?--Commander Keane 02:25, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

It appears, as I wrote to CK here, that the "code" "/code" syntax was inadvertently removed by an editor using AWB for cleanup, resulting in the display of otherwise suppressed templates. Joe 02:34, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Yep thanks to Joe we have found the problem. Sorry for the disturbance.--Commander Keane 02:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Greetings. I have made a series of contributions to the Humayun article, and was hoping you could take a look and make any fixes or additions you may feel are needed. Thanks. --Irishpunktom\talk 15:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof Moderators

Thank you for your willingness in helping me out with VandalProof! You've now been made a moderator, so when you load VandalProof the next time, you should see 'Moderator' in front of your username, and you should also find the Moderate List item under the User Tools menu. I've made a very basic page explaining what's expected of moderators and how to do certain tasks, which can be found here: User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof/ModeratorTools. If you change your mind and don't want to moderate, please contact me. Again, thanks! AmiDaniel (Talk) 23:40, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Neopets Revision

Apparently, we reverted at the same time, and my revision undid your revision. I'm sorry about that. However, Tawkerbot2 undid my revision and the article is back to normal.—GH 01:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Moderating

Hi TBC. Yeah, I ran into similar (the same?) issues as you. I just left a note on AmiDaniel's talk page. I think I am going to hold back on approving users until AmiDaniel gets to take a look at things. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 02:13, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

General Mills characters

Alas, the name of Foxcat's category is probably slightly more correct; I don't think I've seen possessives used in a category name. But something like that should have gone through WP:CFR. I'll have a word with him, for all the good that'll do... tregoweth 15:42, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Merge Vote on Ultraviolet map

Hi I was thinking about taking this whole merge discussion in an entirely different direction. Instead of merging the info on the poorly named Ultraviolet map into the unfocused The DHARMA Initiative. How about we expand on Silentplanet's idea and create sub sections on known Hatches?

Remember the "The DHARMA Initiative" article is supposed to focus on what it is. Adding more information to "the Swan" only shows that this hatch should be expanded upon in another article. The title of this article after all is not "The DHARMA Hatches." To me it looks like we should put in some information about what exactly the DHARMA Initiative is. We should give some history on it maybe include the information on the film and then some brief information about the hatches and what they are. Hatches that we know more about like "The Swan" should have its own page that would then contain information such as "the Map", "The Timer", etc... I think that this is a more reasonable solution and would also make it a more logical solution as an encyclopedia article. Please let me know what you think (in your talk page)! And if you do agree please note that on your merge vote! Thanks -- UKPhoenix79 04:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Attention Moderators!

Due to technical problems, I've removed all moderators other than myself. This bugs will be fixed in the next release, likely on Saturday, and I will then add you back as moderators. AmiDaniel (Talk) 22:46, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.1 is Now Available For Download

Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof

Hi, I decided to try out VandalProof (I currently use VandalFighter instead). I saw you were online, so could you add me to the list? By the way, it says you are most frequently online from 1:00 - 8:00 UTC. That's 8:00 PM - 3:00 AM (or 9 - 4 for DST). You're on until 3 AM ?!?!?! --M@thwiz2020 14:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm just curious, but you left Benon a welcome message to VandalProof (3, actually) saying you added him to the list but, in the past 10 minutes since the welcome, he remains on the "awaiting approval" list. --M@thwiz2020 14:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Hm, that's an odd bug. Well, you better go to sleep at a reasonable time tonight, at least. --M@thwiz2020 14:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Need help removing incorrect category from article

Hello TBC,

A while back you very nicely left a welcome message on my brand new talk page. Today I have come up against a problem that neither I nor another regular contributor are able to solve. It occurs on the Heracles page. This is a well sourced article with plenty of discussion by several editors. One of the editors noted a problem: there is a Category: Articles with unsourced statements notice at the bottom of the page. There has never been a template to that effect as far as I can tell. We have not been able to remove this category. It seems to have been entered by the edit of 16:33, 8 April 2006 Wetman. How do we go about removing what looks like an erroneous category?

Thanks, Ande B 02:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, TBC, we'll get right on that! Ande B 03:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Attention Moderators: Toolserver

As you may be aware, the English language Wikipedia is no longer replicating data to the Wikimedia toolserver. Therefore, the data provided by Interiot's edit count tool is growing increasingly out of date, and in the interest of more accurately responding to user registration requests, I'd like to ask all moderators to look into downloading other tools for determining raw edit counts independent of the toolserver. One alternative would be Flcelloguy's Tool, although I've found his tool a little takes a considerable ammount of time to retrieve edit counts, and as such is not ideal for what we're doing. I'd also like to recommend my raw edit counter, which can be found at User:AmiDaniel/EditCounter, that provides the ability to limit the number of edits to be counted as well as the namespace in which to search and, thereby, is able to run at a much faster rate than Flcelloguy's tool. If you choose to use my tool, I recommend that you query mainspace edits with the limit set to 500 (though the default is 250, which runs somewhat faster). In my local version of VandalProof, the count button now loads this tool to query mainspace edits with a limit of 500, and, unless I find a tool more suited to our purpose, this will likely become the standard in the next release. If you choose not to download an alternative edit counter, please be sure to check the contributions of all users who fall below the standard 250 mainspace requirement, as they may have become more active within Wikipedia since the toolserver went down and now may be suited to use VandalProof. I'm sorry about all the problems we've been having since VP's release, but we're hopefully nearing the end. Thanks again for all your help! AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

IPO's nominations

I noticed what you mentioned on AfD... that IPO is nominating those who seem to attack the president, or offer some kind of conspiracy theory. Should we try to do something about this? - Richardcavell 02:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Svalbard Image

I just found your image at Image:Svalbardstaff.JPG. Two remarks: First, I believe the "Cheif Officer" should be a "Chief Officer". Secondly, JPEG is a very bad format for such sharp black&white images (it's explicitely designed for photographs, and hence is good at dealing with soft contours and gradients, but bad at crisp lines and geometric forms). A better choice would be PNG or, in a pinch, GIF. It would be great if you could update the picture accordingly. Thanks! --Stephan Schulz 20:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Merging Kremlings/Klaptrap

Hi, you posted a comment on the the Klaptrap discussion page regarding the proposed merge. Unfortunately, voting is taking place on the Kremlings discussion page. It'd be a shame if your vote was ignored, so would it be OK if I copied your view into the Kremlings discussion?
