[edit] coachingHi, Im highly interested in admin coaching, as i would like to become an admin in the near future and also to learn about an admins roles, dutys and ethics. Following instuctions on the coaching page it was suggested that I contact an admin who hasnt got any coachees instead of waiting for things to be done for me. I was wondering if you had the time to admin coach me, I look foward to your reply, Cheers Prom3th3an (talk) 08:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello again Promethean, I would be happy to coach you. If you'd be so kind, I'd like you to do a couple of things:
Once you have done these things, let me know. Done Cheers - Revolving Bugbear 20:41, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Left some thoughts and a couple of questions for you. We'll start this off sort of conversationally and move to specific technical topics after that, I think. Cheers - Revolving Bugbear 22:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] UserboxesI like the userboxes, but I would support the creation of an additional one; I want one that says "This user is an investigator and contactor at Wikipedia:Abuse reports" instead of having to have both of them on my userpage. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 12:55, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Statustop template: alternate updating methodSoxBot V has been taken offline indefinitely, therefore {{Statustop}} now uses a semi-manual updating method taking the status from Special:Mypage/Status. You can use the Qui monobook script written by TheDJ to update this page at the click of a button. Please feel free to drop by my talk page with any questions or concerns. Happy editing, xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 13:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] editor reviewHey, i've reviewed your edits at Wikipedia:Editor review/Prom3th3an. Hope it's some help! Regards, Ironholds 14:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WP:HAUHello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 22:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Your adviceThanks for the details - useful if I get seriously involved. My one edit so far was to a stub on a subject I have many years experience of and where the references were outdated. May return to it to see if a full entry if worth a try. Merelyme (talk) 08:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to message sentHi Prom3th3an, I received this message, sent on May 28th : The recent edit you made to Lostprophets constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. Prom3th3an (talk) 08:04, 23 May 2008 (UTC) Just wanted to say, I've never even looked at the Lostprophets page, much less edited it. Think you may have sent this to the wrong person. Thanks, and keep up the good work lol. hattiFATALE

[edit] Something is wrongI can't seem to be able to open the sub-page on my talk page. WillIreland (talk) 05:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Concerning 217.87.x.xHi, Excuse me writing here. I'm quite new to wikipedia and registered only for the purpose of communicating with you. I hope this is the right place. I've just been surfing around on wp and got the new message warning leading me to this link. And then I got there. I am in the 217.87.*.*-range, too. It's one of the huge ranges of the biggest German isp - tcom fka. Deutsche Telekom. The 217.237.150.11* range is the range of a public proxy any tcom customer may use (www-proxy.t-online.de). I often use this proxy for speed reasons, and that's basically the reason I got the new message warning and now write here.. The last digit of the ip usually varies, depending on where the abuser lives. Every larger node usually has 3 different possible last digits afaik. The ip can even vary on every refresh. In my area the ip varies from 217.237.150.116 - 217.237.150.118. To make a long story short: the proxy is transparent, so why not look up and log the abusers real ip? Blocking the whole range would not be a good solution - please only punish those who deserve to be punished. I often have to use this proxy and people like this guy annoy me, as they abuse two systems that are intended to have a good purpose - what a scumbag :( Once you have this guy's real ip in your logs, you might consider contacting the tcom security team directly with hard evidence at: Kind regards & keep me posted, --Testomaximo (talk) 21:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Response to message of 8 june, re: Adoption
[edit] AdoptionWith pleasure. (PS, do you know how to fix the UBX section of my user page?) Sexy Sea Bassist 17:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC) actually, I meant fix it so it stretches with addition of new userboxes Sexy Sea Bassist 17:11, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Wikiterrorism"Regarding this post to WP:AIV, can I request you use less dramatic language in future. This was a very ordinary case of page blanking vandalism, and inflammatory language like this just boosts vandals' egos. I see you made the AIV report using Huggle; in cases of simple vandalism like this, it's easiest for all concerned if you allow Huggle to use its default summary ("vandalism"). Thanks! – iridescent 19:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re:UserpageI dont get it. What do you want? To copy my user page? Alex T/C Guest Book 01:08, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Personal InfoJust to let you know, its best not to have your real life name on Wikipedia. Some people do, (personally I don't, contrary to popular belief). Anyway, just letting you know. Steve Crossin (talk)(email) 05:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC) Who said it was my real name? :-) «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™ |l» 05:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC) Touche. :P Steve Crossin (talk)(email) 05:48, 9 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Guncat.gifThank you for uploading Image:Guncat.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by an adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz talk 07:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] UserpageNot bad, but you should probably attribute to whom you pilfered it from. Also, note that one fairly common concern raised at RFA is time spent editing one's userpage - keep that in mind. xenocidic (talk) 14:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thank YouThank you for your comment on my RFA. It really means a lot to me. I am not sure about admin coaching yet and may consider it. Thanks :) <3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 19:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] ReplyI have replied to your previou comment.
