Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 05:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC) A few more things left over, like Wikipedia DVD/Temp and Wikipedia DVD. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC) All of those are now redlinks. Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 05:52, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Re: Edit Counter Ah, and here I was about to reply to your last version. :-) Good work! Here's my thoughts on 3.10 (I'll try 3.20 in a minute...): The GUI is pretty nice, and it's great that you can read and merge from more than one htm file. However, the GUI needs some work - for instance, no "exit" button (only the X and cancel), and an output besides System.out would be nice. If you haven't changed some of those things in 3.20, I'll see what I can do. Let me get back to you after I try out 3.2. Thanks a lot! Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:13, 19 December 2005 (UTC) 3.20 looks good! I especially like the "New query" and outputs. I'll see if I can add some buttons (i.e. "Done", etc.). Right now, I've spent some time with the edit summary - it's working pretty well, except that the editing sections with or without edit summaries is a bit of a pain. I need some more time with that and I'll work on it later tonight and later this week. Anyways, I was thinking it's time to move to project off of user subpages and move it to a subpage of WP:TOOLS (like the popups), merge the two pages, and call it "Statistics Tool" or something like that, created by Flcelloguy and Titoxd. What do you think? Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:14, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Wow, you sure get a lot of messages in one day. :-) I'll start merging the two pages and moving it, and while I like that name, I'll see if I can improve on it. :-) Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC) The output of that page looks interesting. I'm sure we could design a GUI that could produce a pie chart of percent breakdown by namespace - I remember I did something like this last year, but I'll have to dig it up from old files. :-) The number of distinct pages edited looks to be a bit harder to do - we would have to keep track of each distinct page edited as another variable, and then check each page to see if it matched. I'm getting some progress done on the edit summary, but I still need some time. It works right now except that the section edits can't be properly parsed. Once the program identifies it as section editing, I'm having a bit of trouble with the unicode arrow, but I should figure it out in the coming days. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 15:58, 22 December 2005 (UTC) IRC Hello there, hope you are well. Today I was able to register my nickname, FireFox, on IRC which I haven't been able to do in the past. I have been told you have the ability to raise access levels, so if you wouldn't mind, and if it isn't against any policy, could you please raise my access level to 11 (which is what I've been told most admins have) or higher on irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-en-vandalism - Thanks, FireFox 20:02, 19 December 2005 (UTC) I echo that sentiment, hope you are well. I just registered my nickname too! It's all just a little to hetic. I'm like a lost puppy in there :-D so I'm just observing. Could you explain how it all works? Thanks KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for that ;D Alf melmac (aka "a c*ck") 20:22, 19 December 2005 (UTC) PLEASE HELP ME Hi. I am the user user:Bucephalus. I was trying to make navigation popups work for me but I am inept. I edited (= broke) my monobook page and now I can't access it to change back because I have broken that user name. The page is protected, so only me (but my user name is broken) and admins can fix. Please could revert this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bucephalus/monobook.js&action=history to the 30th march version. Sorry. I really am this stupid. --Bucephalus1 20:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for reverting vandalism on my userpage!

Nice vandal blocking, by the way!--ViolinGirl♪ 22:25, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Yeah, I try to help with the vandal whacking, but I need to read up about it...there isn't much non-admins can do, right? Before that, though, it looks like I need to learn how to make headers. I can just see you clicking on the history..."Where IS that "new message"? ha ha! Sorry about that!--ViolinGirl♪ 23:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC) PS Beethoven's Symphony No. WHAT???! Well, I was just kidding about learning how to make headers...sorry for not making that clear...I did fix it, anyway, though...oh, yeah, and String Quartet...I must be very ignorant...Beethoven didn't write 131 SQ's, did he? And thanks, I'll keep you in mind if I need help sometime...For now, ViolinGirl♪ 00:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Whew, you scared me! I was thinking, "Beethoven isn't THAT old, is he?!!" LOL--ViolinGirl♪ 00:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Thank you so much! I remember reading that somewhere, but it will be helpful having it on my talk page for a while so I can learn how. So even though I can't block people, I can at least now revert changes...(at least, as long as I remember how!) Thanks again!--ViolinGirl♪ 00:38, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks, I will take you up on the offer of blocking vandals for me, if I need it. Maybe someday I will consider becoming an administrator. Thanks again for everything today. Have a nice rest-of-the-day!--ViolinGirl♪ 01:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks for reverting my user page. Subject line says all. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:23, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Thankyou Thanks for blocking Ropo. --Alexs letterbox 02:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Learning the ropos Heh. That's what I call tag teaming :) nice work.

Right now, Rita first, that article's close. Then Wilma. Then I want 2004AHS to be renominated. Ivan needs to be renominatated. Then we should look at the other articles for 2004 storm and see if any have and hope of being an FA. Ivan should be desiganted a good article very soon. Rita too. Then we'll go from there. Thoughts? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 05:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC) User:Titoxd' I was looking through the user creation log and found User:Titoxd' (note the apostrophe at the end of the name). If this is an imposter, you might want to block him/her. -- Daverocks 07:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC) PS No sweat Titoxd, that was the impostor you saw in the IRC channel while eating, blocked by Curps. NSLE (T+C+CVU) 07:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC) ROAK...thank you so much! Woot! I finish my Wikipediating, turn in for the night. Next morning, I go to my userpage, behold! I'm PURPLE!!! Thank you SO MUCH for your kind act!--ViolinGirl♪ Hey, Tito...that would be AWESOME if you could do it to my talk page...if you have time! I just realized about the color scheme...how thoughtful! So yeah, if you have time...thanks!!!!--ViolinGirl♪ 23:02, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Woo hoo!

Wavelength 21:09, 20 December 2005 (UTC) That shouldn't be an issue with the MediaWiki software, but I'll bring it up at WP:AWB, which is what I was using when I did it. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 21:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC) {{Unimage}} I have rewitten {{Unimage}} so it merely asserts copyright ownership, and isn't an ambigious license tag.

I reverte dthem and explained tha such was considered rude. You may wish to watch this one, as he appears to be a vandal, only finally acquiring a user name. - CobaltBlueTony 20:33, 21 December 2005 (UTC) User:Zordrac/Fortuneloungegroup Please can you let me know what you think of the neutrality of the article. Also can you advise me what to do with links that aren't making it through the spam filter. Ironically, somewhat, it is in relation to proving that they weren't spamming anyone lol. Sorry, there's a lot of irony there, since their current main claim to fame is that they may soon be closed down forever due to spam abuse. But they are the biggest online casino in the world, which is another claim to fame. Its a current event too. They were shut down *YESTERDAY* for spam abuse - AFAIK the first ever online casino to be shut down for spam abuse, and for this to happen to the biggest one in the world is a major news story. Let me know what you think. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 20:42, 21 December 2005 (UTC) Why shouldn't there be an awards section? I had such things for rap stars like ie.Merge. What is the difference? These are official awards given to the best online casino in the world. It demonstrates the high prestige that this casino has (or had, as the case may be). They are referenced in all other articles about the group. Note words such as "It is surprising that a group as well reputed as Fortune Lounge Group could have been engaged in spam" (sic). The awards are official, they are not just some web site or something. Note that all 3 groups that gave them awards have been in the forefront of prosecuting them for spam. Quite relevant. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 20:58, 21 December 2005 (UTC) Hmm. If you saw how much I cut out of the "awards" page, you'd see that these ones ARE the only non-advertisement ones :). I was tempted to link straight to the awards, but was wary of doing so. Oh, and as I said before, what do I do with the 2 important links not being displayable due to Wikipedia's anti-spam software forbidding them? They were the 2 bits that prove their innocence. Seems a bit unfair that they aren't allowed to prove their innocence. Not very neutral then. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 21:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC) They're not just not clickable - it won't even let me type them in with nowiki. I have to have spaces, thus giving the wrong web address. So what do I do? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 21:10, 21 December 2005 (UTC) Stop vandalizing my talk! Enough said!

Also note that semi-protection isn't meant to be on full-time. Ral315 (talk) 07:18, 22 December 2005 (UTC) I know, I just was doing 10 things at the same time, and I was about to tag the page with {{sprotected}} when you did it. You beat me to it. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 07:19, 22 December 2005 (UTC) WP:PP#Semi-protection Howdy, mate. Could you add GWB to here, as you're the protecting admin?

There are already pages that have all that information on it and it only takes up space on the Dallas page. If there are other articles to deal with neighborhoods, there shouldn't be subsections with possibly interfering information in the main article. drumguy8800 - speak? 04:11, 24 December 2005 (UTC) Merry Christmas!!

I would like you to reconsidder the AfD here: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/SourceryForge. There were five delete votes, two keep. One of those keeps was conditional, the other had a rationale of "fun name." There was an additional delete vote stricken, more because of my admittedly half-assed nomination then the veracity of the article - I illicited further comment from that user but was ignored. I won't do a full DRV or relist or anything here, just asking for a reconsideration. Thanks for your time! --Jeffrey O.

Hey, Tito, I was working on CryptoDerk's Vandal Fighter program today, and I noticed I was on the temp blacklist, and also, that none of my contribs were being listed in my contrib list.

Thanks again for being there (literally, online!) for me!--ViolinGirl♪ 23:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC) Mfd top Oh, I was unaware of that. I must say I find the difference between {{vt}} and {{mt}} extremely trivial, why exactly does it need two templates? Radiant_>|< 00:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC) Sorry to say, but this really is m:instruction creep, and ultimately does little than confuse people. Simply replace "article" with "page" on {{vt}} and it's no longer a problem. I'm sure that the exact color of a deletion debate isn't all that important to anyone.

To tell you the truth, I was surprised by all the support I've gotten. I never saw myself as more than an occasional Wiki-hobbyist. My wife sends her curses, as Wikipedia will likely suck up more of my time. She jokingly (I think) said she was tempted to log on to Wikipedia just to vote Oppose and let everyone know that she didn't want her husband to be an admin. It means a great deal to me to get a cliché vote from you. I'll make sure your trust in me is founded. --Deathphoenix 14:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks Thank you for vigilantly reverting vandalism on my talk page. It's much appreciated.
