Thank you!Thanks in part to your support, I am Wikipedia's newest bureaucrat. I will do my best to live up to your confidence and kind words. Andre (talk) 09:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC) Thank youThanks for your kind message! I'll try to continue not to screw up too badly. ;-) Cheers, Kat Walsh (spill your mind?) 03:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC) Re: congratsMuchas gracias :-))
Re: database & renamesInteresting! Thanks for the explanation. So you're saying that, if a user made an edit, it was deleted, and the user was renamed, that deleted edit would still be assigned to the user's original name? Wouldn't that make a big problem if some old revisions were ever restored post-rename of a user involved? Andre (talk) 01:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Question: how to make IP address linkTitoxd, thanks for reverting edits of an anonymous ip address. I see the ip address you type in the edit summary are link. How do I do that? Double square brackets don't do it, singles don't, so, what? Reply on my talk page, i'll find it there. Nastajus 16:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC) I've sent up the Titoxd signal requesting your help! If you could spare a bit of time, I'd love your opinion as I'm not quite as seasoned at the FAC process as you are and a third opinion would be fantastic. Thanks either way!

WP:PS againPlease check out this MFD. Your opinion is welcome and requested since you particiated in the original MFD. /Blaxthos 22:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC) Usurpation and deleted editsAny thoughts on this usurpation request? With deleted edits now apparently moved when accounts are renamed is there any good reason why Andre shouldn't perform the usurpation? WjBscribe 02:17, 20 July 2007 (UTC) Status templatesHi Thanks for making those status templates. I'm using the ones with the traffic lights. I'm not linking to your userspace though, I copied the content so I could personalize them. I figured you'd like to know they're being put to good use!... --Parzival418 Hello 06:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC) Admin coaching requestHi, I'm GorillaWarfare and am hoping to receive some coaching to become an admin. If you'd like to coach me, please leave a message on my talk page. You can see my edit count here but don't be surprised when you see that I have 25 edits. That is because I recently forgot the password to my old account, User:Theunicyclegirl. Here is my edit count from my old account. I almost have 2000 edits. I frequently revert vandalism by watching Lupin's filtered RCs. I also like to expand stubs, particularly those relating to cats or dogs. I am very good with user warning templates and speedy deletion templates. I sometimes respond on AFD. Thanks for considering me! --GorillaWarfare talk 16:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Reverting vandalismAAARRRGGGHHH!!!! Why's Twinkle playing up this morning?

Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Sebvdv 06:28, 20 August 2007 (UTC) Reversion of edits by LifeStyleAuto on 21st August 07Hi Titoxd, I just wanted to let you know that I also had to revert a couple of 'messiah' edits to the Aceh article which were in a paragraph about the Tsunami of 2004. I had a look at a couple of other articles about natural disasters and couldn't see that this editor had made any other similar edits, but I wanted to let you know in case you came across more and we needed to get the editor blocked or something. Cheers, --Sepa 21:12, 21 August 2007 (UTC) Akai's page article almost all gone by user GlassFETUser:GlassFET feels that the Akai article is not well referenced and therefore, almost everything must go. It all started when he deleted a reference to a manual that gives reference to an Akai machine listed there and he converted it into a "footnote". As a contributor, I didn't object. I asked him why though, he said, because the manual is copyrighted, so I didn't object to that answer but felt a "footnote" was probably not needed. Then he erased the word "broke ground" and re-arranged the paragraph (See: [1] and his edits [2]) from the unit's paragraph because there was no reference that can verify that it did "break ground" as a porta studio of its time (1985). So, I found one ref, he dismissed as "not notable" because the link was to a studio page. Then, he told me that I wrote the paragraph on that unit wrong. Which is untrue. I wrote it factual and with the right machine specs. He decided at that point that rather than look for better sources for references, the article should be drastically trim down for lack of references. I think this user wants to meet Wikipedia standards, but also wants to incite me into to losing my civility and to disrupt the normal development of the Akai article. Can you help by making any comments? Thanks. 19:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC) BannedHow do I get unbanned? Grandthefthippo 22 August 2007 —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 08:02, August 23, 2007 (UTC). The Greatest Hurricane Seasons of All TimeHink and I thought this would be kind of fun. We're going around to some of our resident hurricane enthusiasts and asking them the same question: Worldwide, which season of what basin do you think earns the title 'The Greatest Season of All Time'. List your top five picks with a reason for at least your number one pick. It's not a big deal, but I thought it would be fun and interesting to hear what some of those really into it think. (By the way, nice picture on your userpage. I was just at Bryce Canyon over the summer. It really is an amazing place.) -- §HurricaneERICarchive 22:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC) CVU-TF TemplateHi Tito, and thanks for all the work you've done for the Task Force. Since StatusBot doesn't create each user's status page until the next round of updates, new Task Force members are often displayed with an error message, which breaks the table. Would it be possible to modify the code so that it adds the box, but shades it in a different color to indicate that no status information is available? Cheers! --Ratiocinate (t • c) 15:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Chacor / Erin talk pageI'm beginning to wonder if action within Wikipedia needs to be taken. Here is a portion of the Erin talk page which Chacor has been insisting on removing. How does this violate any wikipedia rules? He's claiming vandalism, trolling, and personal attacks. After reading the wikipedia related pages on those topics, any of those three looks like a significant stretch to me. If anything, I think Chacor may be guilty of flame war and personal attacks. No Longer a TDThe HPC has stated that Erin is no longer a depression. For attempting to change the status, I got a nasty comment accusing me of vandalism from Chacor. Is this how the community is supposed to work or am I not "allowed" to make late-breaking changes to topics?
Thegreatdr 14:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Tito, you should know that the IP was vandalising - you yourself warned it for vandalism. The IP trolled on the talk page, accused me of vandalism when I was properly reverting its own vandalism and warned him for it, and DR sides with the troll, also has made an attack against me. "If anything, I think Chacor may be guilty of flame war and personal attacks." How is this justified at all? – Chacor 14:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't have to say a lot, I'll do it in two sentences: I haven't made any attacks, I've tried to remain civil while under attack, I made an appropriate removal of trolling which has been reverted. I've been attacked multiple times - here, on my talk page and here for it, with vague references to me violating Wikipedia policy when I haven't. I don't know what the aim is here, but if this user is trying to drive me off Wikipedia he's pretty darn close. – Chacor 15:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Guys, come onAnd all of this has to occur on the day where I need to drive four hours on a trip? :S Everyone, please chill out. I really believe this is a hurricane in a teacup. I have to walk out the door Real Soon Now, but I'll say this: Doc, I'm not sure the flame war comment was warranted, as Chacor was acting on good faith. Chacor: I'm not sure the "He's trying to drive me off Wikipedia" comment is warranted either; unless you can read his mind, please shut up. On a more general statement, not tied to any particular incident, and pointed to everyone, not just you two: I realize that everyone has users that he or she doesn't like. But if you can't like each other, then try everything to at least get along, no? One thing does need to be said: WikiProject guidelines are supposed to be flexible. There is absolutely no reason to remove good-faith questions from talk pages, or to try to accuse users for making questions or suggestions. There is no need to say to personalize issues and tell users that they "should know better", accusing of original research, name-calling, and all other behavior that gives the appearance of WP:OWN. I see these problems more and more these days, and they are usually justified using unwritten style guidelines, which is not actually convincing, and does make it a WikiProject-wide WP:OWN issue. In many ways, I think that we need to revisit several of our guidelines, and decide whether they really are helpful or not. I'm sorry I can't really try to hash this out today, but I recommend everyone to go to a barbecue or something similar and just relax. Then come back and consider what is necessary to adjust the signal-to-noise ratio in these places nowadays. There is a ton of unnecessary tension right now. Why Can't We Be Friends?

Your note brought a grin to my face - glad to see you around! :D , and to be back in whatever fashion it ends up being! Has Wikipedia been treating you well? -- Natalya 21:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Db-meta font sizeI've commented on your recent edit to Template:Db-meta at Template talk:Db-meta#font-size: 92%. If you'd like to offer your perspective on the matter there, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC) Your {{db-meta}} editWhile Wikipedia's tidy pass fixes the generated HTML so it's not a major issue, you put the Well, noSeveral people told me to yes, please do that, because it might help. Other people said that it might actually not help, but nobody has pointed out any problems or harm from doing so. It can be beneficial and I don't see how it can be harmful. >Radiant< 08:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

WP1.0 templateTito, I hope you're well. I've held off bugging you, because I could tell you were busy, but I was wondering if you could do some basic fixes to the {{WP1.0}} template. The template generally works remarkably well, but there are just these few niggling details:
Please let me know what you think. Thanks a lot! Walkerma 02:07, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Re:QuöoestëërëichenstaädOf course that's what my question was. It is a hoax. Look at the contribs. You seriously think one of a thousands speakers of some obscure language created an account and went straight to the Help desk to happen upon that question? It makes absolutely no sense. He's being silly, I'm simply pointing it out without being overly rude about it. LaraLove 20:01, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Use of third personWhere your User page says, "For those who are wondering why this page is written in 3rd person, I'm practicing my formal writing so I can become a more active member/editor of Wikipedia", wouldn't it be that much more effective to say, "For those who are wondering why this page is written in 3rd person, the author is practicing his formal writing so he can become a more active member/editor of Wikipedia."? Thanks for your valuable addition to the Semantic Mediawiki discussion on Jimmy Wales' talk page. --Libertyvalley 14:38, 27 September 2007 (UTC) EthanolRules (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Thank youFor reverting vandalism to my user page. --John 04:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC) Ronald A.

This user is already guilty of vandalizing/frequently reverting said article as well as involvement in vandalism of Cavite and Las Piñas articles in the past. This user has to stop, so it's high time to bring in the rope. Thanks. Reyrefran 01:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC) An old MFDThis is just a heads up that I have undone your deletion resulting from Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Wikipedia arranged by topic. The major delete argument was that the content can be found at http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org - in fact that site is a snapshot from 10 December 2001, and there were many edits since then. I have moved it to a subpage of Wikipedia:Archive where historical Wikipedia pages belong. Graham87 13:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC) Wdefcon/Vandalism InfoThe WP:VINFO hasn't been updated in 24+ hours, which is why I change it to level 0.

I have found a script that interion created, but he's been awol for a while. I brought it up here, but nobody's responded yet. I also brought it up at the village pump, but the same outcome. The script is here. Would you mind looking at it to see how to run the script and (worst case scenario) tell me how many pages I've created? I'm really curious to know.

small infobox templateAre you the one who does a lot of template tinkering? Can you modify the small infobox template to accommodate the depressions found in this article [5]? I've always hated the way this was set up because I think they should each get their own box. Good kitty 03:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC) Yet another discussion....!Thanks for adding your views on A-Class last week. This week is a proposal here to reorganise a few of the subsections of the Release Versions page and the GA page (both use the same top level categories). I personally think most are very good suggestions, and it might be best to do all these changes at once and in synch with GA. Thanks, Walkerma 02:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC) |
