User talk:Voyagerfan5761

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The schedule wackiness has turned into a full-on wikibreak. I'm pretty much dormant on Wikipedia right now, as I am behind in schoolwork and have many appointments/classes to go to. I should still see any talk page messages you leave me within a few days (I often use Wikipedia for reference even if I don't edit much), so don't worry about me missing something. I just might not respond immediately.
You can leave me a message (last diff). Let me know of a mistake or a good edit, or just say hi!

Hi, everyone. This isn't the most spiffy talk page you will ever see, but it's my belief that less is more. Besides, if the talk page is for talking, why decorate it? Leave me a message if you've got something chewing on your ear, or if you just want to say something to me. Please use the + tab above unless you're replying to a discussion already present, in which case please edit only that section and indent your reply using one more colon (:) than the last person. Also, please remember to sign your posts.

Some notes about my responses:

  • I'll respond here if:
    • You post a comment here (this will probably get you a {{talkback}} on your page to pop up that wonderful orange bar)
    • I've moved a conversation here because it was off the original topic
  • I'll respond on your page if:
    • I posted a comment there
  • I'll respond on the page I posted on if:
    • I responded to a comment you left on another user's page
    • I interjected in an already-ongoing conversation elsewhere

In general, I prefer to keep conversations together, so if I leave a comment on your talk page, I'd prefer to have replies there. However, if you don't want replies there, it's perfectly fine with me to have a back-and-forth between talk pages; I'll just double-post my comments on both my (this) page and yours. Note that I will probably change indent levels for your comment to make the conversation flow, but that's about it. My policy is generally to never interfere with other editors' talk preferences, so I'll generally accommodate whatever you want to do.


If you are a classmate of mine, please add the following to the end of your comment/question: Identifier (MCoOL Student) ~~~~, where Identifier is either your first name or initials. That way, I can get an idea of who's talking to me. Thanks!

[edit] re: sexiestman

I'd like to know why you deleted my inciteful article on the History of the World's Sexiest Man competition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allahistheonetruegod (talkcontribs) 16:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Nothing has been deleted yet; you can still add {{hangon}} to contest the deletion. To me it looks like nonsense, but if other editors disagree the page will be fine. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 16:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Joe Louis

Hello, for some reason you just reverted my Joe Louis edit. I think the flag icons for Schmeling and Hans Birkie should be the same. Idealy the german flag at the time. I certanly makes no sense having Birkie with the Nazi Germany flag and Schmeling with the Germany flag - both are from the same country, same era. Please either redo my edit or change both to the modern German flag —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.184.52.70 (talk) 20:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC) Nevermind, i undid your undo myself as I confirmed that the "Nazi Germany" flag was the national flag at the time

Also, this is my account --Flatfish89 (talk) 21:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I had been seeing that same edit over and over in huggle, which meant I wasn't the only one to revert it. The first couple times I was merely mildly suspicious, but the fact that it was repeatedly reverted led me to do so myself. Now that you've confirmed the information, I'm not going to go in and undo your undo of my undo; that would just be bad form. :D
As a side note, I don't think you were editing under your account. For all I know, your account is on the

huggle whitelist and would have allowed the edits to be ignored. Anonymous/IP users tend to get the shaft around here when it comes to vandalism patrol, so if you have an account I would advise you to make sure you're using it when you edit. Cheers! Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 14:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SupplyFrame links

Originally titled "2N3906"; changed for clarity by Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] at 18:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Please reconsider your view on the value of links to an external reference information for SupplyFrame. The external links added to the SupplyFrame reference site are valid, contextual and valuable.

They are added per the Wikipedia policy on External Links, What should be linked to #3

"Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons."

SupplyFrame is an electronic engineering reference site populated directly with industry neutral technical content and datasheets authorized by 2,300 partnered global manufacturers and their franchised distributor.

While there are numerous external links on Wikipedia to 1 or 2 manufacturers - SupplyFrame provides the content on all manufacturers through one source. This is not spam, it's an tool used by electronics designers worldwide to research electronic components such as the 2N3906. SupplyFrame is a publicly accessible site that requires no registration. SupplyFrame is a member of the National Electronics Distributor Association. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcurie (talkcontribs) 18:35, May 18, 2008

I see you dug out an old account to try to become more credible, as well as attempt to create an article on SupplyFrame (now deleted). The history of 2N3906 does not show any contributions from a user named Jcurie; it shows a reverted edit by the IP address 68.4.114.227. Not having access to CheckUser, I cannot verify that you are the same person or not (nor would that be a valid reason to check anyway). However, if you are, your contribution history consists mostly of adding links to SupplyFrame. Other users have reverted your contributions. I'm inclined to agree with the others that what you are doing is spamming.
While SupplyFrame is listed on a few sites (like CrunchBase), I'd have to see corroboration from other electronics industry representatives before accepting it as the widely-used information source you say it is.
Lastly, I should mention that your omission of a signature does not impress me. It's nothing personal; I just hate having to sign things for people when SineBot doesn't do its job... Call me a nitpicker if you like. :P Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 18:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Revert

Hi there. I dont mean to jump on you but your revert here [1] should not have been a revert but a CSD as it was the creator that had blanked the page. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 18:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed that right after it had been completed, then you tagged the CSD. I already left a message on your page about it; thanks again! Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 18:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cosmic strings

Title added by Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] at 19:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand why you reverted the cosmic strings article and talk page. Cosmic strings are most certainly not singularities, nor are domain walls; they're all topological defects. Also, my comment on the talk page explained the 1-dimensionality thing, which no one had actually had an answer to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.152.39 (talk) 14:09, May 18, 2008

Let me check out those reverts. Good thing you have a short contribution history; it makes them easy to find. ;-)
Well, I undid my mistake on the talk page and I see you've already done so on the article (saving me the effort of clicking another link). I reverted because you didn't use an edit summary and were changing several facts. The patrol tool I use doesn't display relevant talk page conversations (yet; knowing that developer, something like that is probably in the works ;-). Hope I haven't caused you any undue stress/inconvenience/etc. Cheers! and thanks for contributing. Please forgive my mistakes; they happen once or twice a day, inevitably. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 19:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar! (mwahahahahaha!!!!) Happy Editing! Thingg 19:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikibreak message

Hi, Voyagerfan! You've been pretty active the past few days; you could just add {{busyweekdays}} to the top of userpage. It's your choice; this was just an idea for the WB header at the top :) SchfiftyThree 01:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but unfortunately my editing is going to be more sporadic than just being busy weekdays. I'm often busy weekends, too. In fact, probably not much happening until next month. I'll update the box when I get around to it. (Read: start editing more regularly again.) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 06:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More help, again, for a script related thingy..

Ya, I finally figured out, with Xenocidic's help how to make my statustab fully automated. There's just one problem: The way the script is done, the template must remain empty. So, if I want it to be automated it must have nothing in it, like, no |in |out, etc. Basically, what I want is, I want the 'in' link to change it so there is no |, currently I have it set so that there is a |, only because I don't know what I'm doing.

[edit] Issues with another user

Hi,

I found your nickname on the talk page of the ip address related to the computer i'm using. A user named schcambo is reverting my edits all the time on the Nantes article. Apparently there's been some kind of sockpuppet user using the same ip address (public place) and for unknown reasons user schcambo reverts all my edits. He left a message on the talk page saying i was vandalizing the article, but that's not true. I believe you are an administrator or a patroller, so could you try to tell user schcambo to accept others to make edits, as he keeps reverting wrong infos for instance on the transport section. Another patroller reverted my edits because user schcambo erased it, but he reveted his old version and i believe user schcambo doesn't own the article. Could you answer me on the talk page related to the ip i'm using? i'd be grateful. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.101.63.39 (talk) 13:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

A checkuser case confirmed the IP was a sockpuppet of Firstwind, who was permanently blocked a while back for persistent abuse, mainly on Nantes and Tramway de Nantes. Shock horror, but the most recent edits have been on those two articles. Anyways, you can disregard this section as you wish. I had already notified it to Ground Zero, the original involved admin. Thanks. --Schcamboaon scéal? 16:21, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
