A friend of mine was involved in a motorcycling accident a few days ago. From what I know, he's in intensive care right now, but the outlook is optimistic.

Sceptre's talk page
Archives
- Guidelines for my talk page:
If I haven't edited in twenty-four hours, please consult a user on my "helpful people" list.
- Remember to create a new section for each new topic (you can do this by pressing the '+' link or the "edit" next to "Sceptre's talk page"), and remember to sign your posts with ~~~~.
- If you think I've made a mistake in reverting, revert it back and feel free to remove the warning. Please refrain from posting here - doing so creates clutter and means I have to archive my talk page faster than I should.
- Due to a long-standing conflict I entered myself in two years ago, I will not mediate disputes on my page. I will give advice, but it is nonbinding.
- I should respond within 24 hours, if I feel there is a need to respond, and unless you have an openly stated policy on conversation, or request for me to reply here, I will reply on your page.
- Any questions about the bot should mention the word "bot" in the level header, and any requests for the bot should go to bot request subpage.
- Any messages should be in English, and as clear and as legible as possible. As long as I know what you're saying to me, it's okay.
- If you have a request for me, please be aware that, unless dictated by policy or behavioural guideline, a member of the Arbitration Committee or Wikimedia Foundation (either paid employee or advisory board), or Jimbo Wales, I am not bound by your request, but will take it into consideration.
- Please remain civil at all times, and please, under any circumstances, do not refer to me as a Nazi - I'm much more liberal than that.
- Please do not put substituted warnings on my talk page - I've been a member of Wikipedia for nearly three years and I was an admin for seven months, so you think of a warning, I've blocked for it, so I do know most of our policies. An exception to this is image warnings, as they serve to be informative too.
- The page will be archived after 40 headings.
- I reserve the right to remove any threads or revert any edits that I perceive to be in bad faith.
- Violations of these guidelines may result in your post being removed or ignored.
Reverts
Thanks for your revert. I was so busy I didn't notice. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 20:29, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Many
The word "many" can mean many things. It's not a specific number. If you have a specific number of how many people believe in God, than fine. But saying "many" is inaccurate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.77.213.69 (talk • contribs) 17:09, Dec 30 2005 (UTC)
Reverting stuff you shouldn't
I recently fixed an error in the article John Doe (the correct Danish term is "N.N.", not "Morten Menigmand"), and you immediately reverted it, and wrote the following on User_talk:217.157.195.176: Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.Sceptre (Talk)
I recently added the folowing: Among many users of such servies, these trains are commonly known as "bendy-dildos" especially who those who dislike the trains due to issues such as reliablilty, limited stock they can couple to, annoying bleeps made to alert on-train staff and lack of seating room, which many claustrphobic. Many also prefered the local hauled stock they replaced. It is believed that this names was coined by the railchat.co.uk forum [[1]], where more people refer to the trains as "bendy-dildos" than Pendalinos. This name was probably coined due both pendalio trains being made of plastic, a feature of trains which some people dislike and the name pendolino sounding like "bendy-dildo". to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendolino but you reverted it, and the previous versions. I am a strong believer in wikipedia however I am against factual information that I contribute being called nonsense. You may disagree with the term, but at least 20 people including the first editor use the nickname to refer to them.
If you are not happy with the word dildo please delete this article [2].
Thankyou very much, have a nice day.
It seems like a weasel term, so I deleted it. It's humourous though. Happy New Year Sceptre (Talk) 22:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
AFD for Cry more noob
Excuse me, but this page has already been nominated for deletion in September, as seen at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cry more noob. You need to use {{subst:afdx}} for already nominated articles. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 23:39, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Sorry. I was using Auto-AFD as well Sceptre (Talk) 23:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Automated Tools
Thank you for the welcoming message on my talk page. I've linked to Wikipedia often from my blog, but I am new to contributing. Because your welcome message came so quickly after I created my account, I was wondering if you are/were using an automated tool to do this work? If so, can you point me in the direction of this or any other automated tools you know about? I'm a software engineer, so creating and/or improving such tools interests me. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks! /* Pradeep Arya 00:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC) */
Vandalism on the Afd HL2DMP page
Just an FYI, delete it if you don't want it here. Someone tried to sabotage the deletion process by removing your header and original Afd nomination from the page. As a result, it didn't appear correctly on the Afd log page for December 31, 2005. I have fixed the vandalism by copying and pasting your original header and nomination for deletion. It puts me quite off that someone can't have an intelligent debate about this and has to resort of vandalism. I was concerned that as a result of not appearing correctly on the Afd log page, it would be overlooked by the administrative staff and the page deletion issue would never be resolved.

Pyromaniac?
So you are into fires or fireworks? --syvanen 20:40, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- I love burning things. I once got suspended from school for making an aerosol flamethrower :D Sceptre (Talk) 20:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

- Haha! I once was primary subject for school computer system hacking :D I play more with fireworks and boms than make fires. But I still do like playing with fire also when ever I can ;) --syvanen 20:40, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

- Which vandal fighter is that. I know there is two. Does the one you use show up ALL edits or something? --Chazz88 20:52, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- CryptoDerk's. See my user page. There's a link there Sceptre (Talk) 20:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've used that one sometimes. Is that better than Lupin's Recent Changes' Filter --Chazz88 20:59, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- I prefer it as it's in realtime, Lupin only updates every sixty seconds, I think -Comment verified as being from Sceptre at 21:00, 1 January 2006 (UTC) - Edit difference is here

userbox proposed policy
Hi - there have been some slight alterations to my proposal (#4) subsequent to your support. I would be greatful if you could re-read the proposition and re-sign your name below the line if you still agree. Thanks, Deano (Talk) 20:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
User talk:Grenavitar
Hey Sceptre, I was just wanted to let you know that you reverted an already corrected revision, to the vandalised one [3]. Please make sure that the page you are reverting is the correct one. Thanks and happy editing! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 21:28, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Ah,that was a combination of slowness by WP and my computer. Sceptre (Talk) 22:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Ahh I've been there before! :-D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 22:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Granted by the current speed, everyone has >_>

Your user page
Hey there! I was just passing by and i saw your userpage. I really like the way you have used a different font and written "User: Sceptre" on the right hand side. I was wondering if i can borrow this idea and use a different font?--Ali K 05:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Jewfro
Hi, I am not vandalizing, only reverting to earlier idea which i believed to be neutral and contained more accurate information...the question is, why do YOU keep erasing someone's helpful information? This is considered vandalism, you should know that24.187.38.113Peter
- Provide references Sceptre (Talk) 20:10, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- what gives you the right to erase one's article and impose a block on another user just because you don't agree with the content? If the realities listed in jewfro upset you so much, u should just challenge the neutrality of the article, not delete one's well written work20:18, 5 January 2006 (UTC)Peter
- Is there proof? Provide proof, otherwise no matter how "informative" it is, it'll be reverted Sceptre (Talk) 20:20, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Bottom line is YOU should stop reverting other people's work because YOU do not agree with or do not like what is presented. It is obvious from looking at what you've edited and reverted in the past that you hold YOUR OWN OPINION higher than anyone else's. PLease stop VANDALIZING; you are hurting Wikipedia.24.187.38.113 20:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC) peter

Nomination for Adminship
I'd like to nominate you for a janitor position. Reply at my talk page so I get a nice pop-up. Thanks. --Jay (Reply) 21:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Accept the nomination
Follow the link to the RfA page, accept the nomination, and answer the questions. Thanks. --Jay (Reply) 22:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
RfA
I just realised I supported the RfA of a user less than half my age. I wish Wikipedia had been invented when I was your age. But then, at that time we didn't even have the Internet in my country. I first even heard about the Internet at the last year of my high school. — JIP | Talk 22:49, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well, there are a few admins around my age as well. FireFox is 13 months older than me, and Redwold24 is, AFAIK, 15. Aaah, the wonders of technology Sceptre (Talk) 22:54, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Fuuny?
How is my userpage funny ¿? →FireFox 21:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
RfA Going Well
At last check, your RfA is going very well. --Jay (Reply) 21:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yep. 17/0/0, and it's 24h exactly after I accepted Sceptre (Talk) 22:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- It is going well, and you're welcome for that comment in the other RfA. About your American English infobox, you do know that it's not as if British English was just up and invented one day, right? Hell, today's British English could be seen as just as large a diversion from 1820s British English as American English could be. Just for reference: (American English) Color derived from (Old British English) Colour derived from (Early Romance languages, i.e. Latin) Color [4]. Just thought I'd let you in on the secret that's it's not really so big a deal because British English was something that was destroyed and hastily thrown back together ever century for a thousand years :-).

User:207.177.195.52
You previously warned anonymous user IP 207.177.195.52 that repeated vandalism would lead to his blocking. Today, the user struck again on Mushroom cloud and Deerfield High School. Please follow through on your promise. --SparqMan 07:13, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
CDVF
What's CDVF? And hey I'm only doing 19 at a time plus at least another 19 redirects. Yesterday morning I was doing 100 and 100+ redirects at a time. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC) WP:CDVF. Vandal fighter. Sceptre (Talk) 11:17, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- I forgot about that. It must have look really bad yesterday when I created 200+ in about 10 minutes. I was going to try it out at home. Still almost done. I have another 19 for now and then I only have 100 airports (plus 100 redirects) left for Canada after that and it will at least 5 more hours before I'm ready to create them. Sorry.
