[edit] User:Hughsgay

Just a quick note - you recently posted your warning for the above user on their userpage. Warnings generally go on the user's talk page, which is at User talk:Hughsgay, for a number of reasons, not least because the user then gets a notification that they have a new message. Thanks!

Oh geez sorry. I'm still figuring this out. Heck I don't even know how to respond properly on your page. I am reading the guidelines for editing now, sorry about that. --Revotfel 22:36, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to your message

Yeah, there's a lot of vandalism about. The only thing I would suggest is that you don't get bogged down in vandalism fighting only; there are a lot of maintenance projects at Wikipedia:Maintenance that are worth checking out. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I'll adopt you!

Do you want me to adopt you? Sorry about having to suddenly leave on IRC. MindstormsKid 00:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Hehe, I try. But Gurch keeps beating me bloody to reverts! Are you new to RC patrolling? Haven't seen you around. Anyway, let me know if I can be of service or anything. Peace, delldot talk 21:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, welcome, and thanks for helping out, as you can see it's greatly needed. Do you have Twinkle yet? delldot talk 21:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Dude, you NEED TW. I can mess around with it if you want me to try to get it to work, though I'm not actually good at it and there's a chance I'll reduce it to a smoldering hole. Course then you could just revert me. Private me in the IRC channel if you want while we're working on it. Peace, delldot talk 21:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Ah, that explains it! I'm working on the TW thing now, btw. delldot talk 21:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
K, purge your cache and see if it's working now (*crosses fingers*). delldot talk 21:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

You're very welcome! I'm just psyched to get another vandal fighting recruit. Especially someone hard core enough to make 150 edits in their first 2 days on the project! See you around in the channel, definitely let me know if you need anything or whatnot. Peace, delldot talk 22:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Having Trouble with Twinkle

After I first installed twinkle I was able to use it fine. After I'd say a bit I noticed it wasn't working anymore. When hitting the rollback vandal thing, it would go through the process, even open up the user's page for the warning thing, take me back to the reverted article.... except it wasn't reverted. Am I going crazy over here? Curiously enough, my popups still work, and I haven't fiddled with my monobook.js since it was working --revotfel★ 23:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Alright. Now I know I must be crazy. I tried again and now it works, though it wasn't for around 10 minutes. --revotfel★ 23:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Plato's Republic

Hey, no worries. I wasn't paying attention and undid the edit myself too after you'd done yours. I still haven't figured out how to revert to a previous edit without undoing each individual edit. :x Do you know how? That would help a lot. :) JRDarby 01:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Many many many thanks, mate :) That really helps a lot. I appreciate you taking the time out to help me. -- JRDarby (talk) 19:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright question

{{helpme}} I'm writing up an article on Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) service. It's website is here http://ice.disa.mil/. I was thinking of adding an image to the article, and I got to this page: http://ice.disa.mil/index.cfm?fa=security

Seeing nothing saying anything about the usage of images from their site, I clicked on the additional information link and ended up here: http://www.defenselink.mil/warning/warn-dl.html

Looking at number 2 it reads: Information presented on DefenseLINK is considered public information and may be distributed or copied unless otherwise specified. Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested.

I'm afraid my legalise is not up to par, and I can't tell if that's saying I can use an image from the ICE website (considered public information) but then the last sentence threw me off. I thought I'd run it by someone first before uploading the image.

Thanks for any help--revotfel★ 23:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I assume what they're saying is that, as the work of the US federal government, the contents of that website are automatically in the public domain. You can thus upload the images to wikipedia, using the image copyright tag {{PD-USGov}}. It would be appropriate, as the last sentence requests, to indicate the original creator of the image, but this is not a requirement of copyright law. Algebraist 01:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
