[edit] Help!

I'm the logged out User:The Hybrid. I f***ed up my skin trying to get a new anti-vandal tool, and I need someone to blank User:The Hybrid/monobook.js in order to fix it. Whenever I try to log in or go to that page logged out my computer freezes. If you do this, I'll return the favor however you want. Please tell me on my IP talk page. Cheers, 71.223.40.167 08:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, it has been taken care of. Cheers, -- THL 09:31, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I still have no idea what happened. I was trying to get one of the non-admin rollback buttons, and when I went to purge the server cache my computer froze. It did the same thing every time I tried to log in, or go to the page logged out. I have no idea why it froze when I was logged out. It turns out that the page is protected from everyone but me and admins, so I (or you) wouldn't have been able to blank it anyway. Well, an admin blanked it after I went to Ryulong and he sent for help, so everything is fine now. This has to be the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me on Wikipedia. Cheers, -- THL 19:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit summary of May (Pokémon) at 14:31, 29 December 2006 SGT (specifically, "WE DON'T CARE!!!")

Now now, don't be so harsh. Tell them nicely that the English Wikipedia doesn't deal with any Spaniard names in Pokémon. Are you nervous because of Citizendium, perhaps? -- Altiris Exeunt 11:45, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

On second thoughts, see the edit summary of my edit of Pokémon Emerald at 11:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC). -- Altiris Exeunt 11:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

These people have been messing with all of the Pokémon character articles. While I won't say that I condone Raven's harshness, I will say that it may be deserved. Cheers, -- THL 12:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

It's alright. I'm experiencing the same thing at Pokémon Emerald. From my last edit summary, you can see that I'm taking offense at IPs who think that the player is a boy while Professor Birch's child is a boy, and the other way around. Under these circumstances, you would've exploded sometime later anyway. -- Altiris Exeunt 14:19, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pottaishi...?

I left a message on the talk page, but there's inconsistancy about the name of the evolved form of Pottaishi, and I think you're better qualified than me to decide what's what..thanks, luff! Niki Whimbrel 17:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I expected as much, but decided to leave it in the hands of a long-term PCPer, not a dabbler as myself. I'll keep looking for other such errors, though. Niki Whimbrel 16:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

You may want to chill. They're probably kids, but they're kids who are making a good-faith, if somewhat misguided, effort. As for users with red-linked usernames, this edit wasn't really so long ago, you know? I don't think you'd really want to be greeted with that. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I was just hoping you could give the source for this image, i'm trying to recategorize the images and am not sure where to put this. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 23:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

no worries bout the late reply... and i hope you do well on ur exams :) The original uploader hasn't made a contribution since Nov. 17 so i doubt i'd get a response and i don't feel like holding my breath. btw, since you've apparently not been on wiki as often, you may want to review WP:RS as it's gone a considerable overhaul, being merged with WP:OR at WP:ATT. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 16:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
