[edit] Patrolling
No, thank you. Patrolling is worthless. I see far too many nonsense and vandalistic articles that have been "patrolled". Corvus cornixtalk 00:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ok. It was just a suggestion. :) Swirlboy39 (talk) 01:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Your web browser
I hope I'm not butting in. I noticed that at User talk:Acalamari you said that Twinkle doesn't work on your computer. I'm curious: what browser and version are you using? —Remember the dot (talk) 01:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Speaking of my talk page, I've responded to your question there. Acalamari 03:10, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- (replying to User talk:Remember the dot#Re) – That's odd. Are you using Firefox 2.0? Is JavaScript disabled?
- The built-in rollback does work nicely, but Twinkle offers so much more, and I'd hate to see a user deprived of valuable tools. —Remember the dot (talk) 03:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] hello sir,
help me to get an account and help to loggin in to wikipedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.214.104 (talk) 21:49, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] RE:{{User SUL}}
At this time it is limited only to administrators, and they are currently working on making it avalible to all users. Kinda sucks, huh? Tiptoety talk 22:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Archiving
{{helpme}}
Did I set my archive up right? How long do archives generally go until? SwirlBoy39 13:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'd wait a day or two, see if any messages disappear. If not, replace the helpme template. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 14:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Twinkle Help Please
I don't quite understand the instructions for installing Twinkle on Firefox. The directions mention a monobook.js file, where can I find that and how would I edit it? Thanks for the help.Xenosagian (talk) 13:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- You can find it at User:Xenosagian/monobook.js. Click edit to edit the page. Ths link is red because you have not yet created it. SwirlBoy39 14:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I did that, but nothing seems to have changed anywhere. Wikipedia still looks exactly the same. The Twinkle documentation page doesn't seem to provide any information on how to actually use the script. I'm probably missing something, would you mind helping me again?
[edit] Huh?
What's with the reverts on Jeremy Bash and Scarian's page?--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 18:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, ok. Just remember to do the sanity-checking. :-)--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 19:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Nice!
[1] - Did I not tell you off a few hours ago for reverting admins? :-P Watch your trigger finger! ScarianCall me Pat! 19:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, my mistake. Please see your talk page. SwirlBoy39 19:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ack!
Thanks for the spelling fix. I missed that one!. Although, wiktionary doesn't mind my spelling...:-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] My Admin Coaching
I noticed you made an edit to my admin coaching page. I ask you to please refrain from doing so. Thanks! archanamiya · talk 22:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Signature Books
In response to your question about "signature books" here:
Yes autograph books are tolerated (see Category:Wikipedian autograph pages) although there has been some debate over then (see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Autograph books). -Icewedge (talk) 05:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please substitute block tags
I noticed you tagged User talk:BrandoQuin with {{usernameblock}}, you should use {{subst:usernameblock}} per WP:UW and WP:UTM. This is the same as for all warnings and block tags, otherwise they won't properly categorize the page and the notices will change when the template is changed which is not desirable for these types of templates. Thanks.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 05:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Lopado...pterygon
In regard to this article, while the word the article is about is ridiculous, the article itself is far from nonsense. In fact, the reason we have an article about it is that it was coined by the famed ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, and has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as a record-setting long word. Therefore, it should not have been tagged as {{db-nonsense}}. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ANI discussion
I know, I know. It's a little pointless :) But ... per convention, just to let you know that you are being discussed on WP:ANI here. Chin up and good luck ;) Fingers 'n' toes crossed for ya - Alison ❤ 00:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: sig
hows this? J.delanoygabsanalyze 01:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- I really like yellow and green, so I switched to using <font color="gold">, which is what you are using in your sig. What exactly can you not see well? J.delanoygabsanalyze 02:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Confirm
I confirm that my freenode nick is SwirlBoy39 SwirlBoy39 22:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Unbanned
Congratulations, I'm pleased to say that the community has decided to unban you with the following restrictions;
- The ban on Bugman94 is lifted, and ergo SwirlBoy would be permitted to edit Wikipedia (rather than be blocked from editing as a banned contributor);
- SwirlBoy is placed under community civility parole: any administrator may block him for up to one week if any of his edits are deemed to be incivil.
- SwirlBoy is enrolled in mentorship (he has already agreed on IRC that I be his mentor) indefinitely; my intention, if this proposal is approved by the Community, is to continue this until, in my opinion, it is no longer required.
- SwirlBoy agrees to use the account SwirlBoy39 (talk · contribs), and that account only, to facilitate full and open community scrutiny of his behaviour post-unbanning. As a matter of course, that would include not editing from the Bugman account.
Best of luck with your future editing. Ryan Postlethwaite 13:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Good stuff! I was planning to close it myself, but if you're not fast, you're last, I suppose. Incidentally, I forgot to note in those conditions: I'll act as your mentor from this point in. So hello again. ;) Anthøny 15:26, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
