User talk:Mshecket

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Writing stuff on Wikipedia is pretty addictive! You get to learn a little bit about a lot of different stuff and help out a worthy project at the same time! Mike 04:28, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Once you start editing stuff on Wikipedia, it seems as though you get this impulse to fix grammatical errors all over the web. I just automatically start looking for the "edit this page" button, and I get a little annoyed when I don't find it!

[edit] thanks

for unvandalizing my user pager! Kewp 15:44, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vandals

You can do one of two things: Alert an admin (like me) on our talk page, or list them at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Make sure to use the {{vandal|Username}} template, replacing "Username" with the vandal's username or IP. -- Essjay · Talk 04:15, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Standard form is: address at yourISP dot com. Also, did you get the vandal from before taken care of? -- Essjay · Talk 04:26, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Speedies

Hi there. I see you've been tagging things as speedy deletes. There are strict criteria as to what may be speedied, and they are suprisingly narrow. Specifically, "relevance" as you tagged Alex Marsley is not specifically one of them. Please check out WP:CSD. -Splash 05:26, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

No problem. I took Bejesus to VfD because, unfortunately, that sort of thing shouldn't be speedied (even if some admins would do so anyway). I left Alex Marsley because, while it is not strictly speediable, it is about a computer game character as best I can make out, and I don't like having those around. I imagine it will be (technically incorrectly) speedied however. The WP:CSD are annoyingly narrow. There is a new one, however, A7, which does allow the speedying of 'vanity' articles. They must be about real people however, and they must contain no "assertion of notability"; this is proving quite a useful new tool, but one that takes some getting used to. If in doubt, VfD it; nobody will mind and you'll have done nothing wrong. Good luck hunting! -Splash 05:32, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your work against vandals, but I just thought I should point out that the rules for speedy deletion are very different between articles, talk pages, and user pages - Vcm's user page may be patent nonsense, but it's very rare that we can delete a page in the user namespace without the user specifically requesting it.

[edit] {{test3}}

Hi, thanks for trying to improve the template. However ~~~~ saves as your signature and datestamp, and would put your name and date on the pages that the template was used. I rv'd your addition. Thanks. ∞Who?¿? 04:58, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I must have accidentally changed the template! Thanks for catching that. I had some recollection that it looked like I changed the template instead of adding my signature after the use of it on a vandal user talk page, but then forgot about it. Mike 01:23, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi, yea, it's actually me that should appologize to you. I had just added the sub-header to seperate the different usages, and when you clicked on edit, it took you to the template. As such, I removed the header and replaced it with a hard line. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks. ∞Who?¿? 07:09, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. You took the words right out of my mouth. Joyous (talk) 02:12, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] **Vandalcop**

I'm back from my wiki break, and I want to thank you for reverting my user page after somebody did something weird to it. That was my very first user page vandalism. In a way, I feel like it was a rite of passage, but I'm glad you were there to bash instead of me. I expected vandals to be a lot less cryptic. Oh, well. Wikipedia is weird. I do thank you. --Mothperson cocoon 22:10, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry for spam... I notice you added a test note...

I am currently in discussions with Ozemail regarding persistent vandalism that has been occuring from the following IP addresses in their network:


I need assistance with all the specific items of vandalism. I have setup a page to gather this evidence at User:Ta bu shi da yu/Ozemail.

I need your help! Please use the format:

We'll see just how good their service is at responding to this sort of thing - we should be supporting any company that assists us. Therefore, I'm hoping that the Wikipedia spirit of cooperation and immense amount of volunteers will help with tracking down vandal edits.

If Ozemail gives a good response, we can use them as an example of a good ISP, and maybe even shame AOL into assisting us (we get lots of vandalism from them).

Would love to, however there are some good editors on the subnet. Notably, User:MinorEdit would be effected. Only Jimbo or the MediaWiki board would be able to give the yay or nay on this one, I rather think. Perhaps if you messaged him directly... though I wouldn't like to see him spammed by lots of editors :( Anyway, I'm in contact with Ozemail at the moment. I do hope that it doesn't come to the point whereby we block the subnet. Ta bu shi da yu 02:00, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jacqueline Stewart

Is this person sufficiently notable? If so, could you write a biography for her, even if it is only a stub? And is she normally known as Jacqueline, Jacquie, or Jackie? PatGallacher (talk) 17:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, what we need to establish is, firstly, is she notable, and secondly, if so what name is she normally know by? PatGallacher (talk) 13:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
