[edit] thanks
Someone vandalized my Userspace! 
But a little angel came along and fixed it! 
Thank you! You can thank others by using {{subst:Vangel}}! — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 06:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- You are most welcome! Down with vandalism!--Just James T/C 06:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism userbox incrementing on your User page
I thought you might be interested in this conversation that User talk:AngelOfSadness and I had on whether vandalism by incrementing the vandalism counter creates a paradox that threatens to destroy the Wikispace-time continuum. :) --Clubjuggle T/C 16:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Lol, very amusing =) Just James T/C 06:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Impersonating a MediaWiki message
Please remove the mediawiki spoof from your page. It is annoying, and not funny. And it is against policy to impersonate a MediaWiki message. —Coastergeekperson04's talk@12/01/2007 17:33
- Revert removal of fake interface
- Hi Coastergeekperson04, I'll tell you what I've told a dozen other people:
- Show me the policy I am supposedly violating. I have discussed this at length with a number of administrators in the past and they have said there is no definite policy on the faking of the user interface on a user page. This link is exactly what I'm talking about: WP:UP#Simulated_MediaWiki_interfaces At worst, it is frowned upon. But most users manage to find a reason to smile about it. One of the last times someone removed the fake interface from my user page, they were blocked for their personal attack in their edit summary. I reported that user to an administrator and explained to him what that user was trying to do. The administrator blocked the user in question for his personal attack, but made no attempt to remove the fake interface again. Another user nominated the page that the fake interface links to for speedy deletion. Another administrator came along and removed the speedy deletion tag, pointing out to the other user that it was a user page and no attempt had been made to discuss it with me first. Again, this different administrator made no attempt to remove the fake interface from my user page. The most recent example was when the administrator user Alison attempted to remove the interface, citing the link above. I went to her talk page and presented my case and pointed out that there was no definite policy on fake interfaces. She made no further attempt to remove the interface. I would say that is pretty concrete evidence that administrators don't mind the faking of the user interface so long as it is restricted to user pages. Anywhere else would most certainly be inappropriate, but it does not create any problems on a user page. In fact it just makes people amused/annoyed with themselves for falling for such a trick when they click on it. If at some point a real policy against simulating the interface is established, I WILL COMPLY WITH IT. Until then, I am keeping it on my user page. In the future (unless there is actual vandalism on a user page or a policy has been violated) discuss changing the page with the related user AND WAIT FOR A RESPONSE before editing it yourself. Any such edits without discussion first are considered quite rude. Any further attempts to remove the fake interface will be reported to an administrator. Thank you and have a nice day.--Just James T/C 00:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- He's right Coastergeek. It isn't disallowed by policy. If he chooses to have the very negative opinion that is given to users with these on their userpages, that is certainly his prerogative. Few users think these are funny. Soleil (talk) 01:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you Soleil for your support, but I would advise you not to attempt to provoke other users with derogatory comments. That is against Wiki policy.--Just James T/C 01:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- On another note, a lot of users find it funny, which includes a number of administrators. As I said, some people find it amusing and others find it annoying. My advice would be to get over it.--Just James T/C 01:11, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
