[edit] (Semi-)protection

Please read WP:SEMI for details on Wikipedia's semi-protection policy. In particular, note that protection should not be used when vandalism is occuring from one address only, as was happening to Dungeons & Dragons: in that case, there is far less collateral damage if the offending IP address is simply blocked, rather than preventing all anonymous editing to an article. Cheers --Pak21 08:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

What the mix of edits from one IP address normally means is that it is an IP address which is shared between various users, and it's just one of those people sharing the address who is vandalising the site. There's no way to block "by article", but if the vandalism continues, what can be done is to block the address, but allow users to create accounts, which will allow them to edit. Cheers --Pak21 14:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vandal warnings

{{uw-vandalism1}}

{{uw-vandalism2}}

{{uw-vandalism3}}

{{uw-vandalism4}}

Two points which may be of interest to you: the {{tl}} template allows you to make a link to a template without including it, for example {{tl|uw-vand1}} produces {{uw-vand1}} and Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. Cheers --Pak21 16:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the lovely award! =D --RazorICE 03:42, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buzzzzzzzzz

Zillions of thanks for the pizzazzy award. Had I expected this, I might have chosen zyzzyx for my user name. Thanks again! ---Sluzzelin talk 07:07, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 28 April 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

--Carabinieri 21:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Nice. But a quick question: is the Selective Training and Service Act the same as the Burke-Wadsworth Act? You should make this clear. Biruitorul 23:31, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes they are the same. I made that clear... thanks! N i g h t F a l c o n 9 0 9 0 9' ^{T a l k} 12:15, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robots, Contemporary uses

Hi NightFalcon. Please take a look at the work I've done so far on Contemporary uses, and let me know what you think. I've tried to add structure and pictures to help lead the reader through. There are also loads of refs and links. Rocketmagnet 21:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

My apologies for not getting back to you sooner on this.

My thoughts-

• Firstly, the work you did is REALLY good.

Thanks:) Rocketmagnet 15:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

• In the section about dull and dangerous work, the two pictures in the same row, one floating left and one floating right, it winds up looking strange. I think it would be fine if you could move them into different rows. This is pretty minor though.

OK, I'll move the Roomba down one. Rocketmagnet 15:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

• Is a remote control car a robot? What about a remote control car that fires missiles and has a camera? My point is that I never considered the Global Hawk or the Predator robots. Technically I suppose they are, but I don’t know…

Exactly my point. Some people call them robots, some don't. But they're on the lower end of the spectrum. Rocketmagnet 15:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

• Be careful characterizing the Foster-Miller TALON and the Packbot as bomb-disposal robots, since they both have several other versions that do lots of other different things. Also, I think it would be nice to get a picture of at least one of these two in there somewhere.

OK, I'll update that. There are so many pictures I'd like to have, but I think it would get crowded. I was wondering about starting a gallery on the Wiki Commons. Rocketmagnet 15:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

• Great job with all those sources.

Thanks. So many more to go though. I reckon we could reach 200 by the end. Rocketmagnet 15:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

• What exactly did you have in mind for the history section? I like what you have below the Contemporary Uses section.

N i g h t F a l c o n 9 0 9 0 9' ^{T a l k} 13:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking that the history section could be more prosey, storytelling. It would be cool to get a really good writer to handle that section. I tried it, but I'm just not that good. Rocketmagnet 15:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh well then don't get me to do it. I can find stuff and look up stuff and do research but I am not all that great of a writer... Isn't there somewhere where you can request stuff? I am sure someone would be perfectly willing to do it if we gave them the stuff. -- N i g h t F a l c o n 9 0 9 0 9' ^{T a l k} 18:21, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aluminium vs Aluminum

Please, never alter "Aluminium" to "Aluminum" in Wikipedia articles. Aluminium is not a spelling mistake, it is the IUPAC preferred name and takes precedence in all cases of dispute. The simple fact that you are changing the spelling makes it disputed, and hence immediately renders the change incorrect. Always leave Aluminium as is. Cheers.Ethel Aardvark

Sorry- I was just mindlessly using a spellchecker. I won't change it anymore. N i g h t F a l c o n 9 0 9 0 9' ^{T a l k} 01:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-protection for Robots

I'd also like to get Semi-protection for the Robots page. It gets vandalised a ton, possibly more than it gets contributed to. Do you know how to get that done? Rocketmagnet 15:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Well don't make the mistake I made and go protecting it yourself since its admin only... and, uh, you kinda get in trouble. You can request protection at Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection. However, honestly as nice as it would be, I am not sure it qualifies. Go ahead and try though.-- N i g h t F a l c o n 9 0 9 0 9' ^{T a l k} 18:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robots: Current Developments

I've started working on Current Developments, which is probably going to be pretty long. It's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Rocketmagnet/RobotScratch

Feel free to add/subtract/edit mercilessly. Rocketmagnet 15:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd be very grateful if you could take a quick look at the work so far, and let me know if you think it's going on the right track. I'd like to get some opinions before I go too far down that road. Many thanks. Rocketmagnet 23:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I added some stuff... let me know what you think. I am really impressed. NightFalcon90909 ^Talk 15:12, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for the award! I've added stepper motors and personality. Feel free to add anything you want to the text. Rocketmagnet 00:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks for the friendly not about the prod. Will use the suggestions instead now. Happy Editing! Felixboy 16:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just on a note of familiarity...

Hey, I recently took AP's and SAT's also... So, you're a Junior, right? How'd they go for you.... - Bagel7^{What ya say,} _{what ya say,} ^{what ya say,} _what??? 22:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Sophomore actually… I took AP US History… that wasn’t too bad… Biology was a little rougher. Same SAT II exams, same subjects I mean… they were pretty easy. NightFalcon90909 ^Talk 18:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh alright, that's cool too. Yeah, my tests this year weren't so bad, but, hey, tests are tests, they're always annoying. And also, I responded on my talk page, but I just wanted to say thanks for the award again. - Bagel7^{What ya say,} _{what ya say,} ^{what ya say,} _what??? 06:23, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Redwall

Hey! I noticed that you're a fan of the Redwall series. Would you like to come join our Redwall WikiProject? If you're interested, add your name to the Participants list. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions! GlassCobra 01:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Collaboration

This is a reminder to go vote for the Catholic Collaboration Effort. Support or comment on the current nominations, or nominate an article for collaboration. Current nominations:

[edit] WP:ROBO

OK... so I've began to assess the robotics articles. Please review the article assessment guidelines and help this WikiProject out by helping out with the following:

• Adding Robotics-related articles to the WikiProject
• Assessing robotics articles listed in Category:Robotics articles by quality
• Helping out with giving comments to individual articles after assessment, pointers, comments, etc. (basically, don't just give an article class and move on, let people know what led you to give such a rating when necessary.

We need to get this article assessment drive going first before peer reviews and collaborations programs can be made.
