Smile

Why did u send me a smile? Ryan4314 03:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [1]. -WarthogDemon 03:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

No it's ok, I just get paranoid, I assumed you were someone I had pissed off, perhaps you should mention that you pick a random user in future. I do appreciate the gesture though, thanks Ryan4314 10:46, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

KRA

Yea, that looks fine to me. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 19:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

El Dorado

Looks like a reasonable link to me - far more so than the five radio stations above it. I dunno - I rarely review the external links and almost never use them - but that external entry seemed to have a lot more media than our entry, so it might be worth keeping. Wily D 20:28, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Certainly understand trying to prevent linkspamming. Just wanted to provide a good link there. Encycloar 20:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Peter T. Flawn vs Peter Tyrell Flawn

I think it depends as to how common it was for him to be called with his middle name, but Peter T. Flawn is more "Wikipediaish". Brianreading 21:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Pichu

Seems to be more of the random popups that happen now and again, I left a fairly clear edit summary explaining why. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 03:35, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much for reverting the vandalism to my user page. I appreciate it. --NeilN 04:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

User page prods

How do I do it so (relatively) quickly? Tabbed browsing (where I set up candidate pages) and a Word file of twenty or so pieces of tag text (easily altered, usually, to fit every occasion). Of course, it takes a fair amount of time to work out WHERE to find the candidate pages in the first place: what you're seeing is merely the repetitive end process. --Calton | Talk 04:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Howdy, Warthog Demon!

Just got your smile and many thanks for it! I was just coming to the end of a productive Wiki-Evening, and that was a nice warm fuzzy to top it off. I was trying to teach myself how to make an infobox. It was getting to the point where I was maybe just a little too drowsy to be reading instruction manuals (and I suspect that I am an undiagnosed ADD, even something akin to dyslexia, because for as much as I enjoy reading I have trouble sometimes just tracking the lines...but you didn't need to know that....). Anyhow...like it so often happens, just as I was getting really frustrated I NOTICED SOMETHING. And now it works. Yea! I hope you're having a good Wiki-Night yourself, and thanks again! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PurpleChez (talk • contribs).

Pokemon Talk

Hey thanks for fixing the user link in my comments on the Pokemon List Talk page. This guy has been going at it for a week now and won't give up. Spigot Map 23:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Lyrics

I don't claim to be any sort of expert on the subject of copyrights but here are my 2 cents. The first thing to do is to verify whether this is indeed a song written by Norman Martin and not just an old folk song which he made famous. That issue I can't help you settle. If it is his work then the lyrics are most likely copyright and posting them here is in principle a copyright violation. I say in principle because in this specific case, they are posted for critical commentary, for comparison with other variants and for comparison with other infinite songs. It's also such a well-known song that it would be unreasonnable to argue that their publication here has any sort of impact for M. Martin's rights to these lyrics. As such, my uneducated guess is that it is acceptable. Pascal.Tesson 04:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:The song that never ends

Good question. I don't believe that the lyrics to campfire versions are protected by copyright as they have not been published and/or registered. However, the original lyrics probably are. Do a Google search to see if you find anything. Keegan^talk 05:02, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

PROD contested

You had {{prod}}'ed the article Doseuro. This was contested after the fact at DRV, and the article has now been restored. If you continue to believe that the article has been deleted, you should do an AFD nomination. (I don't think it speediable under any of the criteria for speedy deletion.) It would be best to look for some sources first, as the subject may be notable. GRBerry 18:20, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Mindspace

It's spammy, but not unsalvagable...especially if there's a source for the awards won. I'll work on it a bit to trim the fat & encourage some good citations. — Scientizzle 23:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [11]. -WarthogDemon 00:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

As for the tags--until it's not advert-like and the coi content is muted, they should stay up. I've left a {{uw-coi}} on her talk page, but that may need reiterating. — Scientizzle 00:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [12]. -WarthogDemon 00:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh...I blocked for an hour as you were messaging me. I've got to sign off now, so hopefully the message is clear. Good luck! — Scientizzle 00:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Randomness

Thank you for the random smile, a very unexpected surprise. --Kenneth M Burke 00:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

User:HDWitch

What's stopping you from blocking that clown? His only apparent purpose is vandalism. Baseball Bugs 03:54, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [13]. -WarthogDemon 04:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Oops, not an admin. Well, there's always some catch. I saw you only because I'm watching two of the admins whom he's been hitting. They are showing remarkable patience. If it happens again, try User:Wknight94, as he is quick to wield his electronic light-saber against these bozos. Meanwhile, I like the brick wall. I added it to my punny collection of song titles. :) Baseball Bugs 04:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

And strangely enough, right after another round of the continual debate about the warthog article, here I see you on Irishguy's page defending against that character. Warthog karma. Awesome. Baseball Bugs 04:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I like warthogs because I admire them for reproducing. I mean, everyone knows warthogs are ugly. That's the point of the Foxtrot strip, which is apparently too subtle for the combatants on that page. Anyway, it's kind of like with tarantulas. I wonder, do they know they're ugly? Cats are cute, and they seem to know it. Does one warthog boar say to another, "See that warthog sow? Is she ugly, or what?" Baseball Bugs 04:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [15]. -WarthogDemon 18:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

No, the admin unblocked him for some reason, and I've asked him about that. As far as the Warthog page, I don't think they'll let me, no matter how I word it... although they haven't reverted it yet today. Baseball Bugs 20:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [16]. -WarthogDemon 21:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

For pointing that out. I intend to remain cool and civil until they drag me from that RfA by the heels. No kicking and screaming, of course. - Crockspot 19:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I blocked him. Sorry it took a few minutes to read the messages and investigate. The block is for a week. Academic Challenger 22:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [17]. And perfectly understandable; I would expect admins to slowly look over conflicts before taking action. :) -WarthogDemon 22:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Blocked Treepower as well. I'm probably going to have to leave the computer in a few minutes though. Academic Challenger 22:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

If he comes back with an obvious soc-puppet, AIV is probably fine. If he continues with his main account after the block expires, 3RR may be a better place. Academic Challenger 22:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Pokemon OCD seems to be another soc. I blocked him but did not yet revert his edits. Academic Challenger 22:44, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [20]. -WarthogDemon 23:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't know the images i uploaded would cause this, usally i only edit on Bulbapedia, (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Worldatlas1989) which they used the same images. Something's going on and i don't like it at all. i wonder if a admin can help us? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Worldatlas1989 (talk • contribs).

Re Copyright on "Green Bushes"

Hi! It said on the copy vio template I should comment on the talk page of the article so I did: [22] thefunkygibson^T¤C 22:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, that's the dude I'm talking about. I wasn't around either when his first account was still active. I found him by reading old revisions on a page history. TheBlazikenMaster 23:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the smile :) Although it did interrupt my welcoming, I don't really mind. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 23:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Kurru

Thanks. This user made only two edits on March 18, and nothing since. Your point is well taken, but unless he activates my inclination is to do nothing, wait and see. I will watch him. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 07:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Both, actually. After seeing so many blocked users' user pages, this is the first time I see an admin leaving an unscripted note. -- Alt iris Exeunt 12:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [26]. -WarthogDemon 15:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

...err, no? I always thought you were an admin. Your edits, in particular, are 10 times more than mine even though you joined Wikipedia later than me. I always have the impression that a Wikipedian should have at least 10 000 edits to get the mop. -- Alt iris Exeunt 06:10, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Smile Face Time!

Thank for the smile! This could possibly be an imitator of that vandal. I'm blocking anyway, no need to see the duplication of vandalism we saw ages ago.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 22:20, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Sinai 48

Here is a policy that makes it not eligible for deletion, "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such. " Both Gary Hodges and Tom Moncrieff were part of Buckingham Nicks. The producer and backup vocalist Charlie Chalmers has also been a major player in the soul music industry with uncountable hits stemming from the 1950's on. This is reason enough not to delete.

That movie

The wording and position looks fine. With a bit of luck it might help. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 01:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [27]. -WarthogDemon 04:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

The only other thing would be to add a link to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zeitgeist the Movie. However, based on this I'm not really sure if anybody will pay much attention. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [28]. -WarthogDemon 06:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I did mean that link but I could have used other. I put the message in and the anon still reverts to the badly linked version as do many others on articles about bands and the genre they belong in. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:46, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

template

I'm not sure, but there is Template:Uw-trivia, which asks users not to add meaningless trivia, which kind of covers that topic. There might be one in the deprecated Template:TestTemplates. Natalie 03:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

"Boy or Girl"

Groucho questioning Chico on the witness stand in Duck Soup:

Groucho: Now, what is it that has four pair of pants, lives in Philadelphia, and it never rains but it pours?

Chico: Atsa good one. I give you three guesses.

Groucho: Now, let me see... has four pair of pants, lives in Philadelphia.... Is it male or female?

Chico: No, I no think so.

Emerson Flag Co.

I declined speedy on this one, they assert (a) oldest X west of the Mississippi, (b) an Olympic sponsorship, and (c) inventing NFL team flags. All unsourced, as usual, heck they should have said they made the flags on the moon. Anyway, feel free to Afd this one, I did tag for sourcing and notability already, but an afd is probably in order. Your call. Cheers, Carlossuarez46 17:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Wow, And I Mean WOW....

Re your message: It started over here. Snowballed since then. Just an FYI, but you might want to look at my protection log. -- Gogo Dodo 17:30, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [29]. -WarthogDemon 17:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Re your messages, Yes, they're all semi-protected with no expiration. While he only hit your first archive, his pattern indicated he would hit the others, so I took preventive action. It will stay protected unless you ask for it to be removed or another admin undoes the protection. Your user page protection is set to expire in a day. That was also preventative. As for the revert summaries, I didn't mind, actually, I barely noticed with all the reverting going on. As you might have figured out, I was using my user page as a canary to figure out what his next IP was. That's why I was protecting all the articles and everybody else's pages that were hit, but not mine. I got a little tired of it after awhile though. -- Gogo Dodo 19:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Re your messages: You got five on my user page and one on my Talk page. TheIslander was busy reverting things, too. Very busy. But then I started beating both of you because I started to switch over to the Admin rollback. I "cheated". =) I'm not sure why my comment was invisible to you. I can see it just fine, even before your fix. About that RfA, yeah, I reverted the whole thing. That was out of process, so needed to get undone. -- Gogo Dodo 19:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

If you're up for it, here's another little task

User:Cunsimin has uploaded a bunch of images of a French Rugby player, every one I've checked is a copyvio of something, but there's a bunch I haven't checked yet. If you tag em I can delete em, but I can't just delete em (so the etiquette goes) singlehandedly. Lmk and I'll pass on sweaty rugby players (which may or may not be a step up from dung)...
