Greetings from the United Federation of PlanetsYou may find the folowing template of interest :) --Cool CatTalk|@ 02:50, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Hope this is how I am expected to post. My previous posts were not vandalism, I simply removed things that are not relevant to the article; as I see it, there are several message boards for the discussion of the rest of all that. In line with being an encyclopedia, it should be just the straight facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.119.48 (talk • contribs) Titoxd 01:18, 22 November 2005 (UTC) Thank you! Hi Titoxd, Thank you very much for your support on my RfA, and of course, your nomination that started it all :-) I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! If I can ever help with anything or if you have any comments about my actions as an admin, please let me know! Regards, JoanneB 13:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)GraemeL's RFA Hi Titoxd, I am now an administrator and would like to thank you for your support on my RfA. I was very surprised at the number of votes and amount of and kind comments that I gathered. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I mess up in the use of my new powers. can't-believe-it's-taking-so-long-to-thank-everybody. --GraemeL (talk) 15:39, 21 November 2005 (UTC)GRFATitoxd, we have to end the edit war. I suggest putting the issue up for RfC, or maybe to put it up for deletion, to see whether or not the community really thinks it's worthless/dangerous. Whatever we do should be done soon, this really is becoming a candidate for WP:LAME Borisblue 03:20, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Fine by me. Let's go through them. " less than three months of activity" → "limited activity":

Recommended behavior: I don't see why any of these points is objectable, but I'd like to hear your opinion on this section. --User:Titoxd
Edit RfAs properly:
I've set the ball rolling for a WP:RFC survey to start, discussion is on the GRFA talk page. Please comment. Borisblue 04:11, 22 November 2005 (UTC) Tito, thank you kindly for your note. Would I be remiss in sitting this one out? The problem is I currently have limited time for editing WP, so I'm just logging on for a short while every couple of days to answer notes and/or continue work I'm already involved with. I glanced at the discussion and it seems I'd have to get through quite a bit of text and diffs to form a useful opinion—I'm not familiar with the (Durin's?) guide. Anyhoo, how are things otherwise? Regards encephalon 05:06, 22 November 2005 (UTC) MONGO RfAThank you for supporting my RfA. I'll remeber your kind advice and do all I can to not let you down. Thanks again!--MONGO 04:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC) Hi, Titoxd. Unfortunately, the source of the copyrighted material for the Zurn Commercial Brass article doesn't meet the definition of a commercial content provider, which is a company engaged in directly making money off the content of the material that has been copied. Zurn appears to be a plumbing fixture company, so they are trying to use the content to increase sales, not selling the content itself like an encyclopedia would. That really is the intention of CSD A8, which makes it only slightly better than worthless, as very few copyright violations are from such sources. I don't want the article to be undeleted, as I hate it when articles that everyone agrees should be deleted, are undeleted just to follow procedure. I just wanted to let you know for cases in the future. Thanks, Kjkolb 06:55, 23 November 2005 (UTC) GRFA RFCI really think we should do a WP:RFC survey. However, I think I've only visited RFC once, and I don't have a lot of experience in it, and I'm a bit clueless on how to start one (Wikipedia:Survey guidelines contains A LOT of instruction creep) Would you mind taking charge, before the Durin-Ambi dispute explodes? THanks Borisblue 21:24, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi. You deleted this page, but it is not obvious to me that the Wikipedia:Disambiguation page should be at 3rd Degree instead of at Third degree. I'm not particularly invested in this, but isn't there some naming convention involved here? Jkelly 02:14, 24 November 2005 (UTC) arin tabok, i'm working on it now, i copied yer monobook to my bots page and i'll test it there b4 i add it. everyone has so many different flavors of monobook, so i'm trying to customize it. a bit tired, so it may not b pretty, but it will function :) «»Who?¿?meta 03:11, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Irritated as I am by the outcome of this "rhyme before reason" AfD, and despite the fact that if I had the powers I would have closed this as delete (assuming I hadn't participated of course, and with an extensive explanation as to why, and crossing my fingers at the same time), and despite the fact that I was suprised at Sjakkalle's slightly casual approach to this closure, I don't see any valid reason to contest it. This article is still crap, totally against WP:V and WP:CITE, and the whole "because Canadians say so" thing makes my blood boil... but life goes on. Perhaps in another four months I'll put it up again if there aren't some real sources cited. POTWThanks, buddy. He's bordering on harrassment now, i'm wondering if I should ask another admin to block him for that, or even go out on a limb and do it myself. The arbcom has remained incredibly aloof while through all of these escapades of his. Karmafist 15:56, 24 November 2005 (UTC) Happy Thanksgiving! CSDConsider it a somewhat symbolic revert - the policy is a train wreck, and Kim's version improves many things. Should he put it in without consensus? Probably not. But I don't think Kim is wholly out of line either, and wanted to make that clear. Phil Sandifer 01:03, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm a little sadTo see you wading in like that. Stop acting like me, quit reverting! - brenneman(t)(c) 01:19, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
What took sooo long?Hey there, Regarding the last block you made, you know, to the crusaders vandal, what took so long for the alarms to go off? He (or she) made over 20 vandal edits within 48hrs, and we only blocked that user recently. Just wondering is all.--Master Jay 03:09, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
RfA thanksI'd like to thank you for your support of my RfA. As I wrote, I was looking forward to feedback from the community, and I would like to let you know that you should please feel free to leave any further feedback for me you may have for me in the future at my Talk page.

You restored a sock-puppeting troll's edit... (Note, in particular, the systemic hiding of the edit by using __NOTOC__...) --Nlu 23:55, 26 November 2005 (UTC) Good work -- I'm so excited to have this feature now! — Catherine\talk 04:31, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
TfD logI usually archive anything that appears in the listings, including speedies. I have occasionally just wiped speedies, though, when I've had a lot to do since all the info required should be in the deletion summary and they could have been deleted without ever appearing on TfD or its logs. So I think wiping them is fine. I always archive them, though, if any discussion at all has preceded the speedy in case it lands on DRV. That the fuzzy answer you were after? -Splashtalk 04:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC) Vandal identified!!Hello there Titoxd, it's Moe Epsilon. I contacted you because I saw you reverted some vandalism to my user page on November 24th. Thank you. I saw the edits by the IP accounts 63.18.246.17 and 63.18.172.52, suppose it was the same person twice, wrote "reverted fulger language, learn to spell". I remember when I wrote "reverted fulger language" on September 30th herein the edit history of Mcfly85's user page. It was a typo, I ment vulger not fulger. Im suprised I remembered that. Anyways, it said on his page, "Thanks for nothing bleep" or something of the sort and I took out the I didn't think anyone noticedThe first time I made this joke. Or did you arrive at that independently? Admin noticeboardDo you think we should protect it, maybe for 15 minutes or so, just to get rid of this guy? Any thoughts? -Mysekurity 00:03, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Semi-ProtectionIf you wouldn't mind, will you weigh in at Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the issue. Thanks, Mysekurity 05:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC) I've been getting into some discussion with an anonymous user on both of these articles, and would appreciate some involvement from other editors. If you'd care to help, do check out the Talk pages for both. Thanks. Ëvilphoenix Burn! 07:41, 29 November 2005 (UTC) Essjay and EsperanzaWhy did you revert my removal of the part of the notice. Essjay ain't coming back, he doesn't want to, just leave him alone. Jesus H. Christ. Quentin Pierce 01:48, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
Personal attackHi, please to be learning the difference between a personal attack and sarcasm. Spiro Agnew was one of the first of the modern conservatives to use flowery vitriol to attack the "liberal elite" that this VfD vote was about. That vote was pretty much a direct quote of him. SchmuckyTheCat 17:23, 30 November 2005 (UTC) Re:ElectionsI've replied on that page. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:27, 1 December 2005 (UTC) SigYes thanks a lot, wikipedia's help menus are really bad, I've never seen that page before. Anyway I was missing quotes and that caused the error. Thanks! Prodegotalk 03:10, 1 December 2005 (UTC) EddieDon't tell me, bro. He's a bit clueless, but well meaning. karmafist 03:55, 1 December 2005 (UTC) Mark's RfAG'day Titoxd, thanks for your support on my RfA. It means a lot to me. I was going to ask you to let me know if you've any questions, comments, criticism, etc., but I note you've already left some on my talkpage. Re: motorised bicycle, I figured something more than just "no consensus" to give the warriors something to chew over might be useful. In this case, it had the desired effect, but reading back over what I said, I must concede that it could easily have blown up in my face. I'll take what you and Aaron Brenneman said to heart, and try to go easy on the rhetoric in the future. Thanks again, fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC) editing questionHi Titoxd, Why did you revert my edits to the University of Arizona page? The article is getting too long, and a new article was created specifically for athletics. I was eliminating otherwise redundant information. Please let me know. Thanks. Mxpc05 23:41, 1 December 2005 (UTC) thanksThanks TitoXD for the explanation. I do appreciate the help with the article. The Arizona Wildcat Athletics article does contain much of the same info, but I do agree that the rivalries should remain on the main page. After some more consideration from other users, I believe eventually most of the championship info will be moved entirely to the AZ Athletics page, as with other universities (like U. Minnesota). I will remove the notable venues and mascot section, as it is available verbatim on the link, and the main UA article is already 30kb. Happy Wikipediaing! Mxpc05 00:56, 2 December 2005 (UTC) Te respondo tarde pero sin sueñoBienvenido, y no te preocupes por no haber escrito en Inglés en WP:SPATRA. Casi todos allí saben lo que quisiste decir, pero lo traduje de todos modos. Si tienes cualquiér pregunta, toma la libertad de preguntarme en español en mi página de discusión, soy bilingue. Titoxd 04:44, 2 October 2005 (UTC) Te agradezco tus comentarios, leo y escucho el idioma inglés pero no me siento capaz de escribirlo, me agradó la traducción que hicieron del artículo Misión Nuestra Señora de Loreto, algunos de los artículos que escribí en Wikipedia español fueron "Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week" . Ingresé hoy a Wiki gringa y me dí cuenta que un viejo tema de mi creación fue traducido recién al idioma inglés Quivira. Esa traducción de la semana debe de haber sido como la quinta Translation of the Week de un artículo de mi creación en los últimos diez meses. Mis respetos. --Scalif 04:09, 2 December 2005 (UTC) Important AfDI am contacting editors applies NPOV and NOR standards rigidly for their input on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of modern day dictators, where a consensus has yet to be established. I think this AfD is particularly important because it has been bringing to light some fundamental differences in interpretations of content policies among editors. If you have time, please take a look at the page and add your input. Best regards. 172 07:54, 2 December 2005 (UTC) Jimmy Wales editsThanks for helping with those so quickly - I think it is so nutty that the poster complained and had all the edits referring to his personal information deleted, and then attacks this way because the article isn't his POV. Anyway, thanks again! Trödel|talk 11:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC) HelloI hope you have a nice break and that stress just goes away. If you celebrate the holidays have happy ones.--Dakota t e 12:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Have to admit......at least his last few vandalisms were slightly more clever than the usual 'p00p'. Cheers. --Syrthiss 18:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC) Re: Edit counterHmm... is there a way to process the contributions besides copying and pasting all the contributions into a .txt file and parsing them? That was the (extremely crude) method I was thinking of; let me know if you can think of something better. By the way, do you know Java and/or have Java capabilities on your computer? Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 22:58, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
with AOL ips...Users change IPs but it might be possible to do something like log a persons computer name, username (for computer) OS and some more specs also a cookie to make sure they are the same person and use all that to block AOL users. It should be added into the code. Also this can be used for IPs that have many users. --Adam1213 Talk + 04:25, 3 December 2005 (UTC) Excuse me?You did that why? -Splashtalk 02:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Titoxd, it's pretty obvious to me now that I have woken up what a total ass I was being to you and SCZenz last night (my time). I don't think we should hand out user-specific content to anon user pages (and I think we should remove it where we find it), but there was absolutely no call for me to say so in nearly such abrasive terms. Sorry. -Splashtalk 13:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC) Who reverted the page, Splash? Did you? There's no history list, and no entry in the Recent Pages. This is abuse of the worst kind. "Irritating you" is not and never was my intent, nor have I attempted to do it. You irritated yourself by deciding that you know better than anyone. That is expressly not the purview of admins. 216.237.179.238 02:53, 6 December 2005 (UTC) Splash may or may not have a valid opinion, but it's clear from his actions that he's hiding (from?) it. I've been civil through all of this; reminding him that adminship is not a license to censor the wikipedia is not uncivil. 216.237.179.238 03:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC) thank you siryou are an admin and a gentleman (with a serious thing for green...) 216.237.179.238 02:39, 6 December 2005 (UTC) over the lineIt was not over the line. I copied the quote verbatim. Admins do not have any right to censor the wikipedia nor even to make editorial decisions. They exist to prevent common vandalism and to intervene in interminable disputes. And they only exist because such problems are more prevalent than was predicted and the people who have actual authority over the wikipedia do not have time to deal with it all. Admins need to remember that, and they need to be told why policies exist, or they will make up their own reasons and apply the policies incorrectly. 216.237.179.238 16:12, 6 December 2005 (UTC) I remeber what happened last time I asked...Which makes me feel somewhat better about asking again, I can't be accused of "stacking the house". Please come and voice an opinon at Wikipedia_talk:Websites#Straw_poll regarding the facts of "syndication" indicating notability. Although my RfA is not over yet, I figured that since so many people voted before it had been posted, I may as well start thanking people before it wraps up. It'll take me that long to thank everyone who voted anyway! Thank you for changing your mind and deciding to support, even after all those edit conflicts! I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality rise to the level of the dream. BD2412 T 05:06, 7 December 2005 (UTC) I suppose I am...How the hell did you know that :)? Yes, I am, I guess, after a fashion. I don't plan on editing much, but I still sometimes use Wikipedia, and I still have a fair amount of time sans work until January, and I figured I might as well pop in from time to time. Well, thanks for saying hello so quickly; it's nice to feel noticed. Take care, mate, Blackcap (talk) 07:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC) May I have your assistance Sir?Hey Tito, hope your studies and finals are going above par. I just recently joined Esperanza and I was wondering if you could give me an other fix for my sig like you did when the HTML Tidy went out a few weeks back. Maybe with the word edge in the trademark green? KnowledgeOfSelf green. I'd attempt it myself, but I would not want to risk the HTML Tidy going down again and my sig cause so much trouble. If I worded that in a way that is difficult to understand I apologize lol. Thanks KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 07:25, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
