[edit] :)

Thanks! Your is nice too, I noticed from your userpage you are interested in Images, if you have not seen the easrly notice, you may want to take a stop over to commons:Commons:Picture of the Year/2006, the initial round of POTY voting is now open. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:11, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It was creative...

You have to admit it was creative using a redirect. But how many people actually have popups. --ROASTYTOAST 22:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Huh???

Dude, I haven't worked on userboxes for, like, a century. Anyways, thanks for the barnstar. Cheers, The Raven's Apprentice^{(Profile|PokéNav|Trainer Card)} 14:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR

did i break that rule on WP:SB? AC Best My Contributions 15:11, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Kamope · talk · contributions 15:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Can i still revert vandalisim on other pages? Also, i was editing the sandbox to put that template that goes on the top back on, as people were deleting it - can we make it stay there somehow? AC Best My Contributions 15:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Please read WP:3RR. You can reset the sandbox when the header is gone by clicking on a revison by the Sandbot and clicking "Click here to reset the sandbox". Kamope · talk · contributions 15:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

And no, we can't make it stay there permanantly. Kamope · talk · contributions 15:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry - i dont understand WP:3RR, does that mean i cant undo anymore vandalisim? AC Best My Contributions 15:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

You can undo vandalism. Kamope · talk · contributions 15:24, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Can i move your warning to my other talk page? AC Best My Contributions 15:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes you can. Kamope · talk · contributions 15:32, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Not to butt in here, but I'm really confused. Resetting the sandbox is subject to the jurisdictions of 3RR? Metros232 15:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I suppose that was fine reverting. Kamope · talk · contributions 17:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your spelling

I just noticed on User talk:Wizardman#Congradulations that you spellind it wrong, it's congratulations. BuickCenturyDriver 05:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks, Kamope, for the barnstar, and the grizzly! I admit I didn't expect them upon waking up. :-) · AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 11:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh well. Thanks for notifiying me about it. · AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 01:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 97th Regiment of Foot

I've unmarked the page as not a valid candidate; I've also dropped in the primary linked-out article I was going to add to it on the second pass through.

For the record, "a disambiguation page with links to only non-existent articles" is not, in fact, in the criteria for speedy deletion. If it points to a single article, sure, it's a speedy candidate, but that's because it's a page without content or without use in the encyclopedia's infrastructure; a disambiguation page linking to articles which have simply yet to be created is not without content and forms a part of that very infrastructure, and isn't intended to fall under those restrictions.

Thank you, it is much appreciated! >Radiant< 11:56, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday

Thank you for wishing me a happy Birthday! Qmwnebrvtcyxuz 22:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whoa!

No...Well, I guess you could say that, but it's only until this Trolley Square situation settles down. Since I actually live in the city where it happened, I'm gonna watch over the article and see if everything's correct. When things settle down, I'll go back into retirement. Sorry :( •The RSJ• Talk | Sign Here 02:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] splitting section

I hope you don't mind, but I removed your section splits on the Jupiter page. One of the issues during the FAC was the length of the table of contents. So I'm trying to keep it relatively short. Sorry. — RJH (talk) 20:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

That's OK :) Kamope·?·! Sign! 20:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:206.172.66.144

Hey, I was just wondering why you gave User:206.172.66.144 a test1a warning after he vandalised Dragon. I'm only asking because he'd previously been given a test1 and test 3 warning 40 minutes prior to this and his edits to dragon don't seam to be good faith RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 22:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Your right, I was giving him/her too little of a warning. Next time I see him/her vandalize a page, I will give him/her a higher warning. Cheers. Kamope·?·! Sign! 22:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No probs, I was just wondering to be honest, I just didn't think it was a good faith edit. I've given the IP a final warning for another edit now that was undetected. Keep up the good vandalism work! RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 22:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: "Mobil" entry

""It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Mobil. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kamope·?·! Sign! 23:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)""

I gave valid reasons - look in the discussion at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobil

The content removed was (1) unverifiable, (2) scurrilous, and (3) irrelevant.

Thank you for your comment - please take the time to actually read the entry and discussion before responding.

eblem who can be reached at eblem_m@yahoo.com

Yeah, that's fine since it was removed content that was those three things. If you keep getting new messages from other users about that, just let them know your reason of removing the content. You can also type your reason in the edit summary. Kamope·?·! Sign! 00:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

		The Surreal Barnstar
		The requirements for this barnstar are: "The Surreal Barnstar may be awarded to any Wikipedian who adds "special flavor" to the community by acting as a sort of wildcard." I think you fit the bill. Perfectly. Thanks for being here Kamope, you brighten up the place. `:)` · AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 11:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) I just noticed below about Ry's cat, I thought he was alright by now. · AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 18:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

My cat Rudy has cancer, and a growth prevents him from eating very much. I may not be on very often. Just FYI in case you leave a message. :-| Right now is a hard time for my family. Ry Guy Sign Here! My Journal

[edit] Signature

Hello and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your signature uses the following HTML:

[[User:Kamope|Kamope]]·[[User_talk:Kamope|?]]·[[Special:Contributions/Kamope|!]] '''[[User:Kamope/Signatures|Sign!]]'''

You might want to change it to use XHTML strict, which is considered a better practice on the web. Your signature this way would use:

'''[[User:Kamope|Kamope]]·[[User_talk:Kamope|?]]·[[Special:Contributions/Kamope|!]] [[User:Kamope/Signatures|Sign!]]'''

Both versions produce identical results. It's your choice whether you want to use the XHTML strict form or not, but I would recommend it. —Remember the dot (t) 05:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Done! Kamope·?·! Sign! 11:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

All right, thanks! —Remember the dot (t) 16:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Mumia Abu-Jamal Vandal

I don't think putting up that notice will deter him - it's become quite clear that this has become an "obsession" of some sorts - the page was protected once because of this (check the page history). He's also targeted Portal:African American/Intro with the same vandalism, and that page is still protected as of this writing. Mike Rosoft (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves • rights) probably knows more about this vandal than I do, so the next time you spot some account performing this kind of vandalism to the MAJ article, I suggest that you report it directly to him.

[edit] Hey thanks!

The page credit really belongs to User:Sango123, but I appreciate the most cool-looking barnstar. Kukini 03:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Check the Croatian Montenegro article out. It has a whole lot of tags on it. I dunno, just thought you might have wanted to see it. Regards, •The RSJ• Talk | Sign Here 03:35, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goodbye Kamope

Kamope, I have decided that I can't continue on wikipedia. I am going to leave for good. I hope this doesn't make a big impact, but I have to do it. I hope you can help make a difference here on Wikipedia, and good luck. Farewell -- RyGuy(Retired)

[edit] I'm Is Back!

Hey Kamope! I decided that it was a bit too early to quit, so I'm Back!!! Ry Guy Sign Here! My Journal 12:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nice page

I like it, the only thing is you should add a link to your page on the quilt (the one with the userboxes, images, etc. Good work! · AndonicO ^Talk 13:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

How come your userpage (not the quilt) has everything written out horizontally? It's probably just my browser, but I was wondering. For example, the FA keeps on going and going, so that I have to scroll right to read it. Is that on purpose? Do you see it that way? · AndonicO ^Talk 13:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Good. :) · AndonicO ^Talk 21:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Haha! I didn't know you were indef blocked. :-) · AndonicO ^Talk 02:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
