  • Before saving a page, it's a good idea to use the Show preview button to review your edits. Also, consider writing a summary for each edit.

Again, welcome! Chris Roy 02:00, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Saint Francis High School (vandals and otherwise)

[edit]

do not meddle in the affairs of upper class suburban american highschool society, for we are subtle and quick to post rude comments and pictures (preceding unsigned comment by 69.230.206.198 (talk · contribs) 05 Oct 2005)

Hi, Peruvianllama. Don't let them get you down, they are but children at play. The best advice is possibly don't take their bait, but I think you get high marks already on that score. They seem to have drifted off for now, but no doubt they'll be back. You've encountered a hazard of allowing anon IPs to edit pages. Best regards. --RobertGtalk 08:42, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Yes, it is getting tiresome, isn't it? - you don't need to put up with this abuse. I went to their talk page to give them a final warning notice, only to find another admin had already done so. They still persisted, so I blocked them for a while. I trust that their threats about DHCP and multiple IP addresses were bluster, if not we'll know! Well done for staying calm and polite. --RobertGtalk 08:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that your policy idea is actually one that would require a development in the underlying Wiki software, but suggest it by all means. I'm not sure which policy: try Wikipedia talk:Protection policy? My only reservation is that it would be just as easy for a vandal to create a new user ID as to get another IP address, although I believe there is an "automatic IP block" feature when an admin blocks a user (I still have to get my head round that one). And I don't mind in the least that you listed the problem elsewhere; they've proved more persistent than I expected, and it seems it will take more than one of us to keep reverting their "contributions" so that they drift away in boredom… I quite understand that you were fed up with their personal attacks. Regards. --RobertGtalk 08:37, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

read the discussion page, and do some work. (preceding unsigned comment by 24.205.51.127 (talk · contribs) 21:36, 9 October 2005)

Please see whether the current cleanup would be sufficient for you to withdraw the delete vote. Thanks, Tintin 01:22, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it's not a {{nn-bio}}, because that only applies to people, not to sub shops. I think this one will have to go to AfD, which I am just too tired to do myself right now. Keep up the vigilance!. Ëvilphoenix Burn! 03:24, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, glad to see it on AfD. Personally I wouldn't have gone ahead with the redirect...while you were correct in the proper name for the article, since the article is likely to be deleted, it's probbably easier to just nominate it in it's incorrectly named form, that way you don't have both the article and the redirect hanging around. That way, if it survives AfD, you can go ahead and make the page move, and if not, it all goes away easier. If the article doesn't survive AfD, I suggest you then list the redirect on RfD (or see if that makes it fit a CSD, I'm not really sure). Carry on with the good work!

Please use Move tab instead of cut&paste

[edit]

Since there was only one tiny edit, it's not a real big deal in this case, but if you ever run into something like Firestone Library again, that you think should be at a different name (in this case Harvey S. Firestone Memorial Library), PLEASE use the Move tab instead of cut&pasting the content--c&p separates the content contributions from their history (as well as the Talk page if one exists) and they need to stay together per GFDL licence terms. Thanks. 24.17.48.241 06:11, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I thought I had used the non-move-tab option correctly. Obviously, I'll have to read the instructions more carefully next time. Thanks for the notice. --Peruvianllama 06:49, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

David Wong votes for deletion

[edit]

Peruvianllama, I appreciated your comments, but a way to reply is always courteous. One thing about the David Wong article, this was not just a simple vanity case, but an elaborate web of deception and self-promotion. Checking the Amazon page, we find glowing reviews of David Wong from people like...Joseph Wong (a relative?)...children...a girl whom he met on a plane...a 14-year-old kid...who claimed to not have met David personally despite stating otherwise earlier in the review. When it comes down to it, David Wong appears to have achieved marginalized fame, not for talent, but for relentless self-promotion. Ironically I could easily start my own page, having written 3 books, appeared on National Public Radio, etc. But I wait until someone else finds me important.

Thanks for making my mind up on this wikilink. I wasn't sure whether to include it or now. It seemed like a common phrase, but then again I doubted the importance of wiki-ing it. Good to get a second opinion. Cnwb 09:35, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

sup & small tags

[edit]

Say I've fixed a few messes caused due to mismatched sup & small tags. If you're gonna use 'em use 'em right :-) If you put <sup> <small> dadada... </sup></small> you end up with a mess and the small font is left on. The tags must be nested properly <sup> <small> dadada... </small></sup> or they don't work. Cheers! Vsmith 00:00, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK - seems the problem showed up because HTML Tidy has been disabled. See note at Wikipedia:Village pump. So now all the incorrectly tagged HTML shows up as errors or is ignored. If tags are improperly nested, some won't get "turned off". The solution: good HTML :-) That was the problem with Physchem...s fancy post on my talk, that you fixed - thanks. Seems several users are having the same problem with their fancy sigs. Enjoy! Vsmith 01:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know you meant well when you tried to revert my userpage to an unvandalized version, but you simply reverted to another vandalized version. Thanks, though, and "Kaylar the Conqueror" has been blocked indefinitely. DS 02:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You keep pickin' off the ones I click on... :) Keep up the good work. Nice page blanking message, by the way. Cheers, Blackcap | talk 07:23, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To the unintentional tag team! <clinks glasses> I'll have to start using {{blanking}}. I've always used {{test2a}}, but that one's quite a bit better. All right, back to work. See ya, Blackcap | talk 07:36, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know, we're thinking the same thing. Some bastard beat me to Allah, not realizing who owns RC around here ;)... revenge will be mine! By the by, I assume you already know about WP:CDVF, the best vandalfighting tool on the 'Pedia. If you don't use it, you should at least take a look at the page. Blackcap (talk) 07:42, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe it. You just stole God, again, in what, five minutes? What am I, chopped liver? Blackcap (talk) 07:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, I was on an old RC page. Never mind, I guess I still have some dignity as a RC patroller. See ya around. Blackcap (talk) 07:45, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

IRC

[edit]

I'm not so familiar with IRC. What channel are you on? I've got mIRC, but I don't entirely know where to go from there, as I'm not much of a chatter. Blackcap (talk) 08:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, figured it out. Blackcap (talk) 08:04, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

An Award
I award you... the Editor's Barnstar!

You have 1000 contributions from the past 16 days, almost all of them reverting vandalism. That's (1/8 is 0.125, so 1/8 of 1000 is 125, and half of that, 1/16, is 62.5) 62.5 reversions per day! I didn't know you could even revert half a page in the first place! Excellent job, and keep up the great work! — MATHWIZ2020 TALK

Hi Peruvianllama,

Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. 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 15:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I want to thank you for the article you created. We already have Boris Yegorov, Aleksandr Yegorov, and now Dmitry Yegorov. I just thought it helpful to standartize the spelling of this surname. By the way, a disambiguation page would be helpful too. Hope to see more articles from you. By the way, your name and signature put me in a good mood ;) --Ghirlandajo 21:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you very much for helping stop vandalism of the article RuneScape cheats. The company that makes RuneScape is now trying to get the article deleted by official means. Please comment on the talk page so they can't delete it.Jonathan888 (talk) 15:26, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for your comment, there is a rather long 'vote for removal' section in the discussion page - it hasn't moved to the AfD phase yet. I shot off a whole slew of messages this morning to try to get some support and the editors replying to that call for help suggested moving parts of the article to book format which sounds ok to me.Jonathan888 (talk) 19:15, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Go to hell!

[edit]

Thank you for destroying hours of my work in the name of stopping vandalism. Perhaps you should check to see whether a so-called vandal has improved an article, instead of declaring in an instant that the person is a vandal and thus is crap. Go screw yourself, you IT fascist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.129.92.34 (talkcontribs)

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, and for causing you understandable frustration. I have left a more detailed reply on your talk page. Cheers. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 18:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I saw your comment about the David Miller article in my page. Thank you so much. As you correctly deduce I'm new here and I must recognize I was making a bit of a disaster back there, but my intentions were good. Mil GraciasRosameliamartinez 05:56, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

if you describe facts as vandalism then I can't help. Don't you know that the Salvation Army makes it "kettles and bells campaign" all over the world ???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.219.185.24 (talkcontribs) 09:22, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

[edit]

Hey, I see you use godmode-light. Might I draw your attention to wikipedia:requests for rollback privileges, a proposal which would grant just the rollback privilege to suitable candidates? If you could look over it and lend your support on the talk page, it would be much appreciated! Thanks, Talrias (t | e | c) 00:48, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Hey, keep up the good work reverting vandalism. I almost thought you were an administrator, you sometimes revert that fast (with godmode-light, that is). By the way, I'm also a Canadian (from Kingston, Ontario), Peruvianllama. Andrew_pmk | Talk 23:42, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
