[edit] Template

Čao! Ja mislim da West Bromwich nema Templatea ne za englesku verziu wikipedie, ne za spansku ili hrvatsku. Mozes da ga ustvariš sam, ili da promeniš i koristiš ovu kodu:

Ma zašto voliš Bromwicha, ako možeš da navijaš za Bocu Juniorsa!? ;o)

Zbogom, Mariano(t/c) 07:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Nema na čemu, hvala i tebi. Ajd, dobro wikipediji! Mariano(t/c) 11:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CEVA Logistics slogan

Hi, thanks for correcting me. I guess you are right, I have seen 'Clarity in a Complex World' with the new colours somewhere behind a speaker, while 'Everything is Logistics' was not shown at all yesterday. E-pen 06:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria

Oh, the little rascal is still at it, is he? For sure, warn away. NewEnglandYankee 21:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Odgovor :)

Dogovorio sam se sa korisnikom Glen S da mi stavi to u monobook.js jer radim dosta na revertovanju strana. Uglavnom, stavi {{subst:User:Glen S/Templates/Nonadminjs}} u svoj monobook.js. Poz ;) --Emx 22:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super vandalism work

Super vandalism work you do, and its great that you warn the vandals. One thing. 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:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Rettetast 22:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I am Rettetast 22:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Rettetast at irc://irc.freenode.net/vandalism-en-wp Not realy used to irc though. Rettetast 22:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subst:

Thank you for your work with fighting vandalism, but please remember to substitute the template—use {{subst:Test}} rather than {{Test}}. See:Template_talk:Test#Usage, Thank you - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 22:05, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

No worries, it isn't that serious a matter. And, no, I'm not on irc. Happy hunting!- Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 22:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, West Brom 4ever. I just wanted to let you know I was not trying to vandalize the Islam page, but instead, I was trying to revert it back to the version before the vandalism had taken place. (If you scroll down, you'll see that a previous visitor had replaced all the text on the page with the word "crazy," which I found offensive. However, I didn't know how to revert the page back to its previous state. I'm glad that you do. Thanks. Kimmyesque 22:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)Kimmyesque

[edit] Teh award for teh good work

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		For doing a good job protecting Wikipedia's integrity (and regularly beating me to reverting), I hereby award you this Barnstar. Keep up the good work! Миша13 14:32, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

The template used to warn the vandal is template called {{test1-n}} and it was posted using an automated program called Vandal Proof. Please refer to the full test templates list for more information on test templates and their usage. Thank you. Michaelas10 (Talk) 12:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Masturbation

Hi, just to let you know that I wasn't trying to vandalise the aticle, I was just deleting gettin rid of a load of unfounded comments about the supposed health risks of masturbation, where the contributor seemed to think that fatigue, depression, were consqequences, without being able to provide any verifiable source or any creditable proof. I would suggest it is probably some scientology nutcase editing it. Cheers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.229.27.251 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for helping with the particularly appalling stream of vandalism today, please remember to "subst:" your warnings though - eg: {{subst:obscene}}. Thanks. --Alf ^melmac 20:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for the quick revert of the vandalism to my user page. I do appreciate it. --JFreeman ^(talk) 21:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem x) West Brom 4ever 22:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting me

I don't know if you noticed, by my removal of the information on this talk page[1] was due to that information being moved from the main page. I reverted the removal from the main page, and also reverted the addition of the same information from the talk page.

Did you disagree with my reverting of the movement of the information? Or did you simply think I was blanking discussion from the talk page? HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)}

Replied here. West Brom 4ever 22:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I didn't do it

You sent me this message:

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Zoe Weizenbaum. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. West Brom 4ever 14:44, 16 December 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.33.245.47 (talk • contribs).

However, I did not even touch that page. I've never seen it or even know about Zoe Weizenbaum. Are you sure you have the right IP address?

Replied here. it was blanking the of the categories and external links. West Brom 4ever 12:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Vandal

He'll be blocked soon, because he's listed on WP:AIV as of the time of this comment. He vandalized his own talk page as well. Cheers, PullToOpen^Talk 20:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help. PullToOpen^Talk 20:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attacking the Torchic Page

Congratulations on your swift revert.

Season's Greetings from Finland! :-) (Well, the photo is actually from Bulgaria – wish we had that much snow this year.) And good luck for the year 2007. ♥ –mysid☎ 13:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:PAIN

Hey, there. :) The user you reported has been blocked for 24 hours by another administrator; should they return, they'll be blocked again. In cases where a user is being that disruptive, you'll usually get a quicker response through WP:AIV (that board deals with vandalism, and has a much faster turnaround time, although it operates in an even narrower set of circumstances than WP:PAIN; hope that makes sense). Feel free to let me know if you need any help. Cheers! Luna Santin 00:02, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

replied here. cheers, luna. West Brom 4ever 00:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chess

Ok, to find the chessboard, click here. If you want to be white, then move. If you want to be black, then let me know on my talk page and I'll move. -Kevin ^(TALK) 20:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

K, I made a move. You might want to put that page on your watchlist so that you'll know on your own. -Kevin ^(TALK) 21:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

What exactly do you mean by "!?" and what do you mean by "where is your king"? I really am kinda lost here. If you wanna know how to say "check", its a plus (+) sign. If you want to know how to write a queenside castling move, its usually written as 0-0-0. -Kevin ^(TALK) 17:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, nevermind about that crazy Interrobang thing. I never used that when notating chess, but I have seen it in some other notations. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn something new about chess! -Kevin ^(TALK) 17:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

My chess page is under threat of deletion! Please defend it for good reasons at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Guitarmankev1/Chess. Help me out here. - Kevin ^(TALK) 17:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

it was kept anyway. West Brom 4ever

[edit] RE: vandal at user:norm

Ummm I'm not an administrator silly :P. I'm sure an admin will catch him by now though. I'm tagging the user pages with sockpuppet tags however.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 23:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chess thingy

		The Special Chess Award
		I hereby award you Mysid's Special Chess Award for your recent victory against Sale in hr.wikipedia. :) Congratulations! –mysid☎ 20:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much, Mysid. I knew you were following the match, but didn't expect the barnstar at all :-) West Brom 4ever 21:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for supporting me in my RfA! It succeeded, and I now have The Tools – which I'm planning to use as wisely as I possibly can. I hope I will be worth your confidence. Thanks again! :-) –mysid☎ 20:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

you deserved it :-) West Brom 4ever 21:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 80.2.211.178

Hello, I keep seeing a message for IP address 80.2.211.178 saying that a page for Rod Liddle was vandalised on Dec 23rd. The IP address is close to mine but it wasn't me who left the message, the only thing I've ever done is try to clean up pages or add info. I also have no idea who Rod Liddle is. Many Thanks Vicky.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.2.211.178 (talk • contribs).

Reply: IP address changes very often. I sent a message to IP that vandalized Rod Liddle article. I would like to ask you to create account and you will avoid confusion with IP-only users. thanks, West Brom 4ever 18:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for that, have taken your advice. Vicky.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.2.204.33 (talk • contribs).

and your user name? West Brom 4ever 19:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry User:INXS-Girl 20.58, 26 January 2007

[edit] User page vandalism

[edit] Message

Hey wba, just in case you didn't know, WP:WARN saves a lot of typing. Xiner (talk, email) 19:40, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

geez, [Xiner], had no idea. thanks West Brom 4ever 23:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, don't reveal my identity. Xiner (talk, email) 23:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Croatian meetup

I wasn't aware. I don't really track either language Wikipedia much these days, just occasionally when I have spare time. --Joy [shallot] 21:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

...but I would appreciate if someone would occasionally warn me when there's a big meetup planned :) --Joy [shallot]

[edit] My RfA

Hi wba. I didn't tell you this, but I thought that joke you and intgr played on me was very funny. I loved it, and hope my exit was dramatic enough, too. Rest assured that I heard every voice loud and clear during the discussion, and will strive to use the mop carefully and responsibly. Thanks for your support, and please don't hesitate to give me constructive criticism anytime. Xiner (talk, email) 02:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

you can be sure i wouldn't vote for you if i wasn't convinced you're the man. however, i will give you criticism if i see any mistake, but for now, keep up the good work! West Brom 4ever 12:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry I missed this message all this time. But do check out MiszaBot. And thanks for the kind words. Xiner (talk, email) 23:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

MiszaBot archives user talk pages so you don't have to do it manually. It's useful because you don't want your talk page to be cluttered by old messages. Xiner (talk) 20:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

thanks for advice, but so far i only have 30 messages so it is not that big yet. but i surely will take your advice when my talk page gets bigger. thanks and cheers. West Brom 4ever 20:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: good job

Thanks! :-) Lakers 20:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Original (by West Brom 4ever): you beat me about 10 times today in reverting. keep it up :-) West Brom 4ever 20:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

no problem, you did deserve praise. West Brom 4ever 20:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:oldschool

I use oldschool because I'm a bit afraid of using the scripts. However, you usually edit at this time using TW, and what annoys me is that with the pages you've reverted and are watching, you'll beat me to the revert and I get into to tons of edit conflicts with you. Cheers!! The Evil Clown ^{my contributions} 23:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't care if you beat me that much. On bad days, it can happen 10 times, but it's only annoying to see the message that says that your edit is a no-go. There's no need to quit scripts! The Evil Clown ^{my contributions} 23:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Another thing I get beat by is Martinbot; I think I have been beat 5 times in a row. GRR! Cheers! The Evil Clown ^{my contributions} 23:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. =) -- Gogo Dodo 03:32, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

my pleasure. cheers. West Brom 4ever 12:13, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In re: Thomas Paine

I wasn't the one who added the extraneous text to Thomas Paine. I think it was an anonymous user. I simply changed the categories. If I had seen the vandalism on the page I would have removed it. --Eastlaw 22:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

i realize that. cheers. West Brom 4ever 00:16, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
