Talkback

Hello, Javert. You have new messages at Dylan620's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Thanks for the coffee. Now I just hope it had come 5 hours earlier – I was so cold I woke up! ;P Dylan620 (contribs, logs) 10:35, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Just Wondering

Do you think I would be allowed to create one of those essay pages called "WP:Jimbo is always right". Sorry if I've interrupted your huggling. Anyway, don't hate me if I don't re. soon, I have to go. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 11:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I don't see why not. Essays are the opinions of one or more editors in the Community. So, go for it. :D Javért | ^Talk 11:02, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Listen to this, this is genius. If he argued, that would be him being right, so he couldn't argue (the essay would be about how everything he says seems to become policy). Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 11:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Be sure to come up with a witty link. Javért | ^Talk 11:04, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

TUSC token 314a9baabb898a966c6ba7bb610808b9

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account! Javért | ^Talk 13:56, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

SIGN YOUR COMMENTS WITH 4 TILDES!!!! Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 13:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, oops. If it makes any difference, that was an automated edit by tools.wikimedia.de. Granted, I clicked "Save page", but it had already filled out the fields for me. Javért | ^Talk 13:56, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. What's a TUSC anyway? Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 14:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

As far as I understand, it's an identifier for user on toolserver.org. By the way, any chance you can stalk my talk page and hit Vicenarian with "SIGN YOUR COMMENTS WITH 4 TILDES!!!!" next time he forgets his signature? Javért | ^Talk 14:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll try. But I'm not on that often. About that essay I was on about, there is already WP:JIMBOSAID, which is basically whaT I WOULD HAve written. :( Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 14:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

←Haha, nice. If there's anything that you would add, you should. Or you could expand this essay Javért | ^Talk 14:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

There's something weird about your contributions. It says you have infinite edits per day. Or is this just a result of the name change. Heres a link [1]. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 14:25, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

lol, that's gold. I didn't know that I was on Wikipedia that much. Seriously, though, all my T'Shael edits haven't been re-attributed to Javert yet, so that's probably why. If you'll look in the history of this page, T'Shael is still credited with edits. Should be fixed later today. :) Javért | ^Talk 14:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Aye, T'Shael has it right; (edit conflict) It often takes a day to add all the edits, so the counter will sort itself out eventually :). (See Wikipedia:Changing_username/Front_matter#Effects of a username change). BTW, nice name... Although I still prefer the first one (TSBLD), but that's differing opinions I guess :) - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 14:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

←Thanks. :) I didn't think anyone remembered TSBLD, but both you and Mentifisto have brought it up today. Oh, wait, I gave you a barnstar as TSBLD. That may be why you remember? Javért | ^Talk 14:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Where did that one come from? A song? TILDETILDETILDETILDE Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 14:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Yep, "Wild at Heart" by Gloriana. So, I also see that you saw Sponge's hidden message. ;) Javért | ^Talk 14:44, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

No actually, I remember it from a certain conversation I promised I wouldn't tell anyone about ;) - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 14:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Uh oh. Javért | ^Talk 14:47, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Whenever I leave a short message on this page, it always grows into a long, completely unrelated discussion. ;-) Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 18:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I had noticed that, too. It's quite impressive when you really think about it. Javért | ^Talk 18:20, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

←I'd like to know what this "mysterious conversation" was about. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 18:23, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, I would too, as I seem to have forgotten. :) Javért | ^Talk 18:25, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi there...

Hi ! Thanks for making my wikibreak template more readable. Nice to see there are some people stalking my talk page too... Rkr1991 (talk) 16:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, no problem. :) Javért | ^Talk 16:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

A new name?

I was moseying around, see this editor who I'd never seen before, named after one of my favorite literary characters. Lo and behold, it's you. Wacky. Nice name. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 20:38, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, thanks. :) Javért | ^Talk 00:27, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!

Bonjour Javert, Thanks for moving my sandbox to the appropriate place. Obviously I am a newbie and am playing around a bit. I appreciate your help. Merci! La mome (talk) 23:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, wow and felicitations on being named wikipedian of the day--I just noticed that. You really are a good sport! Thanks again La mome (talk) 23:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Merci. :) You are welcome. I hope that you enjoy it here and wish you the best. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to drop me a note on my talk. Javért | ^Talk 00:26, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hiya

Ok, the new name threw me. I don't log on for a couple of days and I don't recognize the place :) I left a note about this on User:LessHeard vanU's talk, but I doubt he's awake. Does that look strange to you? I've not seen it before and I may be making a mountain from a molehill. See ya 'round Tiderolls 00:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Yep, I'd take it to AN/I. It's a veiled legal threat, but a legal threat nonetheless. And yes, things change fast here. Spongefrog accused me of stealing T'Shael's user pages. :) Javért | ^Talk 00:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I posted to AN/I. As for the name, I didn't suspect theft but I spent 20 minutes negotiating redirects before I figured out what was going on...lol Cheers Tiderolls 01:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

haha, yeah. I need to tag the majority of those for deletion. Just been too lazy to do it so far. ;) Javért | ^Talk 01:03, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Ralph Regenvanu

Hi. My auto-block has expired, and I'm catching up on a few bits and pieces before I reset it. Thank you very much for having reviewed the article Ralph Regenvanu. I'm not sure where I'd be able to find an image of Mr. Regenvanu... There are pictures of him in the media, but of course they're copyrighted. Likewise, the only two pictures of him on Flickr are copyrighted. If the article could do with pictures, I'll add one of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre. There's a CC-BY one on Flickr.
Regarding an infobox... Just to be sure, what kind of infobox should be used? If there's a general infobox for Members of Parliament, I can't seem to find it. Aridd (talk) 10:00, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I thought that there was one, but I can't seem to find it either. A generic "Infobox person" will suffice in the absence of a specific one. Regarding the photos, anything that you can find that would be relevant (e.g. the Vanuatu Centre) to the article is a definite plus. I can sympathise with the lack of free images as I am currently searching for one for Ruthie Henshall. Best, Javért | ^Talk 10:09, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Boboy9

Could you confirm the name of the second user? I see deleted contribs for Boboy9, but none for the other that you mentioned. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 01:30, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

 Done Plastikspork (talk) 01:44, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

FYI, see Block of User:Paul kenneth monroyo mora. Plastikspork (talk) 16:28, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Plastikspork. As far as I can tell there are four accounts, Paul kenneth monroyo mora (talk · contribs), Boboy9 (talk · contribs), Paul kenneth mora (talk · contribs), and Paul kenneth m mora (talk · contribs). These are all suspected socks of 2toy mora (talk · contribs), though I'm not familiar with that situation, though it seems likely. I, too, was inclined to AGF the user totally ignoring repeated urgings to stop. MLauba and I briefly discussed it here, if you're interested. Best, Javért | ^Talk 16:39, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I sent you an email to confirm your new address before I create the accounts. If you would be so kind as to reply. :-) Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 15:13, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Advert tag placed on OPNET article

Hi...can you tell me specifically what sections you feel read like an advertisement...i ask because i did a rewrite of this article about a year ago and made certain to leave out adjectives of any sort embellishing the products or services and making sure that there were no external links embedded in the text of the article....i have not significantly altered the article since —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akshaygs (talk • contribs) 16:40, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I do a lot of tagging, let me look again and then I will get back to you. Javert ^{(T · C)} 22:43, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

You could say he's "tag happy." Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 23:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

True. But that wouldn't be very nice. Javert ^{(T · C)} 23:17, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. And I am a paragon of niceness. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 23:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Wee bit grumpy? :( Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 23:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

←No, I'm good. I was being facetious. :) Javert ^{(T · C)} 23:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Ah yes. Hard to gauge emotion online. Hence why they invented emoticons. :-D :-? Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 23:27, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Good point. I fail at the internet sometimes. ;) What is ":-?"? Smoking a pipe? Javert ^{(T · C)} 23:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I dunno. I just made it up. And it's the Internet. It's a proper noun, since there's only one and it's pretty freaking sweet. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 23:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I had intended to put "teh internets", but forgot to misspell "the". I am a failure at failing. :) Javert ^{(T · C)} 23:35, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

"I knit sweaters, yo!"

Love that bit. :D --Dylan620 (contribs, logs) 17:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, thanks Dylan. :) I shamelessly pilfered it from "Thug Story". Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 17:21, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I can't think of any irrelevant comments to interject here. So I'll write this relevant comment: How did you bypass that Wikibreak enforcer? You didn't do that JavaScript disable thing did you (I have no idea what I'm talking about here, I just read something about it on Wikipediholic test, so you'll have to forgive me if that makes no sense). Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, wait, this is much more important. So read it first (probably too late now). How do you get those messages to come up when someone edits your page. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:37, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I disabled JavaScript. I use Firefox, so I went to Firefox → Preferences → Content → then un-checked "Enable JavaScript" and "Enable Java". After this, I undid my addition to my monobook and then re-enabled Java. :) Hope this helps. For the edit notice, I just typed what I wanted to say at user talk:Javert/Editnotice. To create one of your own just go to user talk:Spongefrog/Editnotice and start typing. :) Best, Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 19:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I will do that now. Fortunately, I understood none of that Firefox stuff, so if I ever block myself, I won't be able to undo it. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:42, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

←No problem. Also, any admin can edit your monobook. So, if you mistakenly WikiBreak yourself for 20 years, just make a note on your talk page (as SockOfSpongefrog). Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 19:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Sponge would NEVER do that, though. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 00:09, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, it'd be funny, though. Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 00:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Page move vandalism

Redirects resulting from reverting page-move vandalism can be tagged for deletion using {{db-vandalism}} or {{db-g3}}, which avoids getting into the issue of whether {{db-redirtypo}} or {{db-r3}} is strictly applicable in each case. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 20:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I had toyed with the idea of tagging them {{db-g3}}, but ended up erring on the side of caution with {{db-r3}} Thanks for the heads up and I apologise if I created extra work for you. Best, Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 20:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

You're welcome. :) It was long overdue. Best, Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 21:22, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

You have been given a block

Yes, here you are. A nice 4-be-2 red one. That's for continuing to spam your casual knitwear enterprise in your signature and talk pages throughout the Wiki-kingdom. Shame on you. ;) – B.hotep •talk• 22:41, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

LOL! I love it. :) I will continue my shameless spamming indefinitely. :D Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 22:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the vandalism reversion on my talk page (diff). Newportm (talk) 01:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 01:17, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Loved back :)

You've been loved by Midnight Comet

Hey there! Midnight Comet has loved you by placing a heart icon in the top-right corner of your userpage. Don't worry, it's not vandalism, but simply a small way to spread the WikiLove. If you don't really like it, feel free to revert it and make it go away, and no hard feelings; after all, it's just a small token of appreciation. If you like it, just add your name here, but again, there's no need to feel upset if you don't. Love and best wishes, [midnight comet] [talk] 13:44, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much! :) I added my name to the list. Btw, I'm not going to put the heart on your userpage since the breast cancer ribbon will block it; so you can do what ever you want. --[midnight comet] [talk] 13:44, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome, and thanks. :) I think that there's a userbox somewhere. If not, I might possibly make one. I can scoot the ribbon and/or heart over, but I think the lock stays there no matter what. Javert ^{I knit sweaters, yo!} 16:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Page Icons

Extended content

Is it possible for you to show me a list of icons to put in the upper-right corner of the userpage kinda of like you did. I've seen some people put their barnstars up there. Is there a list. I also have my page "semi-protected" so I am looking for the grey lock as well.Thanks;)SchnitzelMannGreek. 00:19, 26 July 2009 (UTC) There's not any list per se, you can put just about any image file in the corner of your user page. Is there anything in particular that you wanted? Let me know, and I'll help you with the code. :) Best, JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 00:58, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Well, I was kinda of thinking about the wiki-trophy that's bronze and silver for when I got wikipedian of the day and week. And maybe some barnstars. Thanks for putting the lock;)SchnitzelMannGreek. 02:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC) You're welcome. Can you give me file links to what you're after? Then I can get the code to you. JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 02:11, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Can I get it too? I was wanting thirteen barnstars, a wikipedian of the day, a GA (possibly two, if the one Vicenarian's reviewing passes), and a DYK. So do you just use an image and make it small or something? I don't understand anything, sorry. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 09:33, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Well, I want File:Bronzewiki 2.png, File:silverwiki 2.png, File:Burbaribbon.jpg, File:Novatoribbon.jpg, File:Grognardribbon.jpg. For now, that'l be fine;)SchnitzelMannGreek. 14:09, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Okay, I'll go work on it now. JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 16:51, 26 July 2009 (UTC)  Done Please see User:SchnitzelMannGreek/Icons. Any more that you want can be accomplished by following the template |{{click|link=link name|image=image that you want|width=30|height=30|title=what you want it to say}} at your icons page. :) Best, JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 17:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Can I ask for stuff too? I'm about to anyway, just to give you a warning. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 17:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Sure, what's up? JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 17:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Wait a minute, I'll give you the link stuff. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 17:51, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Oh, I see what you mean now. Just the same as SMG. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 17:52, 26 July 2009 (UTC) ←You want the same set of icons as Schnitzel? JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 17:53, 26 July 2009 (UTC) No, these icons. I was looking for "File:Bronzewiki 2.png", "File:Symbol support vote.svg" (possibly two later) and "File:Updated DYK query.svg". I was also going to ask for 14 Barnstar star things, but then I realised people would mistake them for FAs. Anything else I could use? Sorry I took so long. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 18:03, 26 July 2009 (UTC) ←What are the titles for the good article symbols, and DYK? These are click links, so that's why I'm asking. JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 18:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Its for a DYK, a Wikipedia of the day, and a GA, yes. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 18:09, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Yes, but what are the article titles? JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 18:10, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Oh, the article titles. Sorry, I actually had to search for Click Links (thats how stupid I am). The DYK is for Charles Widmore, the GA is for Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. Actually, do you think I could have 14 Barnstar images, I just realised they are different from FA stars. Or is that too misleading. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 18:15, 26 July 2009 (UTC) It's up to you, I suppose. Though, 14 barnstars, a WOTD, a GA and, a DYK will take me longer (I'm notoriously lazy and if I have more to do, I'm more apt to put it off..;) ). So, I guess it depends on if you want it done by today or tomorrow. :D JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 18:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC) If you just do one thing, I'll be able to fill in the rest. I really just need the template. Hello. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 18:24, 26 July 2009 (UTC) SORRY, sorry, I forgot to sign in. That was me.

Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 20:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. Thanks for your help. I put some icons on my userpage including the ones I told you about and others. Do you think it looks "flashy" having all my barnstars there even though I already have them on the page. Feel free to tell so so I could make the page better. I've been thinking that maybe a day might come where I won't have more spaace for barnstar up there so is it a smart idea?SchnitzelMannGreek. 22:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC) Sure. I'm not really a big fan of having that many icons, but if that's what you like then go for it. Best, JavertI knit sweaters, yo! 00:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

The Strangeness of Time

Weird. My friend just moved to China, +8 UTC. It's exactly twelve hours later there than it is here. Time zones give me a headache.

Oh, and, she can't get on Wikipedia. Great Firewall. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 01:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Something you should read

- WP:MYSPACE - you may want to read the article. Please refrain from notifying other editors of e-mails, which are not connected with Wikipedia. While it's great having editors who want to contribute to the project, your recent actions and chatting on talk pages make it look like you are not very serious about the project. People are here to work together on the encyclopedia, not have chat sessions on talk pages.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soho class frigate

My first non-admin closure! :-D Exciting! Vicenarian ^{(Said | Done)} 17:49, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, cool beans. :) I remember my first non-admin closure (can't remember the article, for the life of me, though) like it was yesterday. Then, I started closing MfDs but accidentally used the AfD close template on my first MfD. Great times. Seriously, though, participating in XfD is one of my favourite things to do here. "You've made the first step into a larger world." :D javert (stargaze) 18:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi guys. I've not inserted anything irrelevant/innapropriate/random into your talk pages for a while, and I thought you might miss me. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 20:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I had noticed that my talk page has lost some of it's "flavour" so to speak. And, nice hidden message, by the way. :) Best, --javert (stargaze) 22:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedian of the Day

Congratulations, Javert! The first week of each monthly cycle of "Wikipedian of the..." will consist of repeats from the previous month; the repeats did not received WOTW last month.
For your further kindness to others, your hard work around the wiki, and for being a great user since the last time you were Wikipedian of the Day, you have been named "Wikipedian of the Day" once again, for today, July 30, 2009! Keep up the great work!
Note: You now have another chance to be Wikipedian of the Week!

Happy editing!

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. --javért ^stargaze 03:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

You beat me to the punch.

It was only an edit conflict which prevented me from posting the editing stats on the latest RfA. I shouldn't of even tried to beat you at what appears to be your designated field. :P Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 01:57, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

And much congrats on the Wikipedian o' the Day. Nice. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 01:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, thanks. I enjoy posting editing stats for RfA's as it's fun and makes me feel somewhat useful. :p --javert (stargaze) 01:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Heh. Well, it's better than me; I never vote in any, so adding the editing stats or suggesting WP:NOTNOW to those that snow is about all I do on WP:RfA. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 02:13, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ever thought of getting more involved? RfA is a fun place. :) --javert (stargaze) 02:19, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

With my experience being two failed RfAs, "fun" isn't the word I would use. It sure is fun to watch though. :D Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 02:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Kind of off the subject, but do you use Twinkle? It's been acting up for me lately; won't tag things for speedy deletion, etc. --javert (stargaze) 02:35, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

←No problems here. Maybe it's your sily Mac, Javert. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 13:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

It can't be. My Mac is *awesome*. I can still warn people, but it won't tag anything for deletion. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and nuked my cache like 5 times, but it's still not working right. :( --javért ^stargaze 17:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry 'bout the absence. I do use Twinkle, yes, though not really for vandalism reversion. However, it hasn't been acting up or doing anything weird for me. Huh. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 22:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

No problems, I think that I've fixed it. I think that it was interfering with some other script in my monobook, so I took it out of my monobook and just enabled it in gadgets. :) --javért ^stargaze 22:46, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Good times. :D --javért stargaze 17:38, 30 July 2009 (UTC) Have you noticed that you username rhymes with "revert". Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC) Actually, it doesn't. "Javert" is French and thus pronounced "Ja-vair". :D --javért stargaze 19:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC) Yes, I knew that, I meant it looks like it does. Yes, that's what I mean. Of course I knew that.

I'm sure you've had it that way forever and I just now noticed. ;) Thanks for the block of that inane IP user, btw. :) --javért stargaze 21:05, 30 July 2009 (UTC) Yeah, I think the reason was I changed my sig so there was no link to the user page directly (harder for the vandal to find!) Were you eating cheese, per chance? That would be pretty freaky... :) – B.hotep •talk• 21:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC) Actually, I'm being totally serious here, I'm eating a bag of "Chester Puffcorn" that happens to be cheese flavoured. Creepy. --javért stargaze 21:11, 30 July 2009 (UTC) To the casual observer: There are (probably) other brands of puffcorn available ←"Cheese flavoured." Are you sure it's actual cheese? I think Cheetos are actually made from salt and food coloring. Vicenarian (Said · Done) 21:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC) Salt and food colouring? Have you been looking in my lunchbox?!

Question

Hi Javert, i was just wondering if every time i bring a article up to start class, from stub class, i have to request an assessment. I understand the difference between the two, and i am happy to request an assessment for anything over a start-class article. Thanks a lot, Chumchum14 (talk) 09:23, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply, but I just noticed your query. Generally, you shouldn't assess articles that you have made major contributions to, but IMHO anyone can tell the difference between "stub" and "start" and if you want to assess an article as "start" class after expanding it from a stub, I can't foresee there being any problems with that. Hope that helps. :) Cheers, javért ^stargaze 20:52, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the guidance

I was very iffy about how to approach that user name... was it a problem at all... where to take it. The editor appears to have taken heed of the article flags or explanation on the talk pages. Thanks again.- sinneed (talk) 05:10, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations, good sir! On another note, take a look here. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 02:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, V, I appreciate it. In re to Jimbo, I saw that earlier (Jimbo's is another talkpage that I watch ;)), and I think that it's a fabulous idea. Blocks by Jimbo seem to carry more "weight" (for lack of a better word) than blocks by other admins. What do you think? →javért ^stargaze 02:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Anything Jimbo does administratively is automatically going to create a boatload of drama, regardless of the circumstances. I see no need to strip him of any of his user rights, nor the need to remove his honorary status as Founder. On that, note, however, my advice to him would be to step further back. Become more of a constitutional monarch, in a way, with acknowledged "reserve powers" only to be used in the most extraordinary of circumstances. Let the community and/or ArbCom deal with everything else. I think his baby has gotten to a point where it can govern itself pretty well. He may just need to let go a little more - if only because of the unnecessary attention it attracts. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 02:50, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

←I agree with you totally (big surprise). I wasn't advocating desysopping Jimbo, just that he needs to be more like the Queen of England and let Parliament and Gordon Browne run everything. Points which you stated much more adequately than I. ;) →javért ^stargaze 02:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Naw, you're Wikipedian of the Week! You get to be the more adequate one... for now... Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 03:00, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Trying to get Joseph Brant Arseneau page Compliant as it is believed to be notable

A new concern has been posted on the Joseph Brant Aseneau page regarding conflict of interest, can someone please explain more. Edits have been made only to add more reliable references to the work and research that has been done. Bobuller (talk) 01:15, 2 August 2009 (UTC) - Thank You.

A conflict of interest is when someone close to the subject of an article edits the article in question. You may do better asking Mufka (talk · contribs) about this as they were the one to tag it with the {{coi}} tag. All I did was to assess the article for WikiProject Biography. Sorry that I can't be of more help. →javért ^stargaze 01:22, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:

What I was trying to do is show him and other people on WP the truth on what really happened on wikipedia. It wasn't me and I've been trying to get the arcieve oversighted and a new category made where all accounts I didn't make would go.SchnitzelMannGreek. 19:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

What do you think?SchnitzelMannGreek. 19:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I think that posting information that you have requested to be oversighted on an other user's talk page, IMHO, shows a lack of seriousness in getting the matter resolved to your satisfaction. →javért ^stargaze 19:39, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I was just trying to tell exactly what happened and the truth....I never had a reform and I'm not behind the abusive sockpuppets, just the ones that I tried to create to contact wikipedia and start anew. I didn't say this before because I thought no one would believe me until I came this far and gained some trust. I emailed someone saying this(I won't reveal who)to ask for an oversight. I noticed that Spongefrog mention my reform and since he had no email,the only way was a talk page. I meant to gather support and to inform people that in real life I'm not behind any abuse.SchnitzelMannGreek. 19:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

If you think that that was the best course of action, then by all means, do so. However, I still do not think that it was a good idea to post information in another public place after asking for it to be oversighted. →javért ^stargaze 19:49, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I twasn't the information I posted, just the background.SchnitzelMannGreek. 19:52, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

You're missing my point. But it doesn't matter, what's done is done. Let's go build an encyclopedia. :) →javért ^stargaze 19:53, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit. I was simply removing this conversation. I didn't think you would mind, but what's the point of leaving them. Can you remove it?SchnitzelMannGreek. 00:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I reverted your edit because you removed the entire conversation from my talk page. While removing comments from your own talk page is perfectly acceptable, removing comments from other user's talk pages is not per this. Thanks, →javért ^stargaze 00:22, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I remember one time that we were having a conversation, I asked you to delete it and you said yes. Now I'm asking, can you please remove this?SchnitzelMannGreek. 00:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

←I would rather not, thanks. →javért ^stargaze 00:30, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't mean to sound blunt but are you mad at me? I remeber that normally, you would have. Why not now, I don't want this to be archieved and what's wrong with removing it.SchnitzelMannGreek. 00:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

No, but if you didn't want it archived you shouldn't have posted in on my talk page in the first place. I don't want it removed because I like to keep a record of all my on-wiki interactions. Thanks for understanding. →javért ^stargaze 00:36, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Why did you do it before, it sounds like you were much more sympathetic before.SchnitzelMannGreek. 00:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Just so you know, continuing to post on this topic will delay the auto-archiving. In the future, if you have something that you wish to discuss and you don't want evidence of the discussion on-Wiki, you should use the Email user button. Thanks, →javért ^stargaze 00:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Self-promoters? Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 18:07, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

People who add content to Wikipedia with the sole purpose of promoting themselves, their bands, their books, their employers, etc. I find that 99% of the time, content added by self-promoters is biased, spammy, non-noteworthy and generally does not belong. This is becoming an increasingly big problem now that the project is so large and popular. Everyone with something to sell wants a page here; you'll get great Google results on the back of Wikipedia's popularity. It smells and is possibly the biggest current threat to Wikipedia's integrity. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 19:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

User:Ratel warring? vandalizing? bad faith?

User Ratel is trying to archive an active discussion in Aktion T4. This User Ratel is clearly involved in the discussion.

• First attempt to archive the active discussion
• Second attempt to archive the active discussion
• Third attempt to archive the active discussion
• Fourth attemot to archive the active discussion

• First warning
• Second warning

comment made by 190.25.101.144 (talk) 07:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

No, that's not what is happening. Apparently you keep removing the autoarchive settings and Ratel keeps putting them back. Ratel isn't trying to archive active discussions as discussions with timestamps newer than 3 days won't get archived. →javért ^stargaze 07:31, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

• In the discussion it was asked for a "reliable" (according to Wikipedia Policies) source, supporting that Aktion T4 was euthanasia and that any euthanasia is not unlike Aktion T4, because the current article claims the contrary in this section: Aktion_T4#T4_and_euthanasia.
• There are a lot of sources, but at least one "reliable" (according to Wikipedia policies) source was provided in this post:Talk:Action_T4#propaganda_pro_euthanasia_.3D_crime_apology. This source (Alexander Leo, Medical science under dictatorship, New England Journal of Medicine, No.241, pages 39-47) states that Aktion T4 was euthanasia and that any euthanasia is not unlike Aktion T4
• User:Ratel claims euthanasia has nothing to do with Aktion T4 and he is involved in the mentioned dicussion.
• Therefore: why is he allowed to archive exactly all the discussion including the post providing the demanded source?
• Note that User:Ratel posted his first attempt to autoarchive the discussion some hours after the post providing the demanded source.

Again, there's nothing wrong with setting up autoarchiving of a busy talk page. You've already violated 3RR, so it's best not to revert Ratel again. →javért ^stargaze 08:30, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Just notifying you of this comment I made, please be specific with your rationales when reporting users. Not a big deal at all, but trust me, a small mistake like that can escalate into something bigger. For example, an admin being hasty and blocking a user with continuous vandalism on say, two articles, when they have not violated the final warning rule. That would lead to a whole controversy, which is the one thing that stinks about this project. :) Best, ceranthor 12:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Reverts?

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I want to know why you keep reverting my changes to the Marvin Gaye article. His birth name was in fact Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., without the E. I attempted to change the article twice, and the second time I even listed an alternate source, and you still reverted it. What gives? Is it better to be inaccurate than to be accused of homophobia for listing someone's real legal name? It says right in the article itself that he added the E because of connotations that the word "gay" was developing during that time. Also, the sidebar lists his birth name as having no E at the end of the surname. It has the same citation as it does in the first line of the article, and yet you revert it. Why? I really don't understand. I've had a problem with Wikipedia employees reverting my changes before, due to what seems to be an abuse of power. I thought the point of us being able to edit this site was so that we could correct inaccuracies? I know for a fact that this article was correct at one point. Some fan probably added the E because they thought someone had previously removed it as an immature joke. But I can assure you that his birth name was Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. His father's name was Marvin Pentz Gay, Sr. I have an alternate source as well. It is the same one I listed in my edit summary, which you seem to have ignored before: http://www.nndb.com/people/207/000022141/. Please don't just revert a change without looking at the facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.124.136.213 (talk • contribs)

First of all, I'm not a Wikipedia employee. I don't get paid for this, I do it for fun. As to why I reverted your edit the second time, it was a mistake. People make them. Sorry. →javért ^chat 06:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

If I had a mop...

...I would clean out CAT:TEMP because it seems rather neglected. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 21:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not surprised! 29,000 users, and the conditions of not deleting are:

• they are not indefinitely blocked;
• they are IP addresses;
• they are tagged as sockpuppets. They should not be in this category in the first place

And they have to have been on there for a certain amount of weeks! Imagine running that through ya noggin before deciding what to delete! That mop would be in a very dirty bucket, I prefer to keep mine clean. :) – B.hotep •talk• 21:34, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

But such a good project for the Big Red Delete Button! And it's easy - seems to me like you just look at the block template and if it's an indef, and it's been, oh, a month since the block, DELETE. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 21:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

One month seems a short time to me. It is correct, but what if that indef blocked user comes back with a sock 1 month and 1 day later? There would be nothing to refer back to... hmmm. – B.hotep •talk• 21:44, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

You'd still have the indefed user's contrib history to reference for potential sockery. Most of the time, these are just talk pages with successive warning templates and an indefinite block. Perhaps greater care should be used in more complex cases, but a one off vandal username doesn't need a talk page. (And if an indefed username with a deleted talk page comes back with a sock, the page can always be recreated for the sock tag.) Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 21:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

True, blue. But you have to wonder: what is the point of deleting them? I think that question was asked on the talk page about a year ago. And at this point, it would seem a never ending task – this user here tagged nearly 4000 album articles in one month and never even thought about the light at the end of the tunnel until I was there, all bright eyed and blinky. :) Hey, here we are on Javert's talk page, talking through him, and he's probably trying to get on! Still, gotta love that orange bar, eh? – B.hotep •talk• 22:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

To avoid troll feeding, I think is the idea. Getting rid of the user pages is ultimate denial. Certainly not the most important administrative task out there, but it's one that makes me get all mop-itchy. And Javert won't mind us abusing his talk page, he has his pills to calm him down... ;) Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 22:11, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I suppose it's one of the only times you can delete a page and not expect a "you deleted my page" message within the ensuing 12 hours – or if you did, ya got da sock! Anyway, that's my final comment today. I officially have 45 minutes of my WikiBirthday left, so I am going to enjoy it by not being on it! Guten nacht. Buenos noches.

Adoption

Hey Javert. After some thought, I have decided to graduate you from my adoption program. To be honest, I was hesitant to accept your request to be adopted back in June because I believed you already had plenty of experience, but I decided to help you out anyway. Explains the low amount of lessons, doesn't it? :) You may now add the following userbox to your userpage:

Speaking of vandalism field days, have you seen Simple lately? I used to edit there, but left because that place is terribly organized and they give sensitive user rights to people who have no business having them. At any rate, they've been ravaged by proxy vandals lately. It's been rather humorous to watch. :-) →javért ^breakaway 21:37, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Your talk page

Howdy, partner! Just a quick note that your new frame makes your talk page very hard to read – perhaps you could remove the centering and bolding? Cheers, Dylan620 (contribs, logs)^{help us!} 01:04, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I kind of like the bolding, but I'm working on fixing it so it aligns left. If you know how to do that, I'd appreciate it. →javért ^breakaway 01:06, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I think I'd be better off contacting the folks over at the tech pump about that; I might break your talk page by mistake. :P Cheers, Dylan620 (contribs, logs)^{help us!} 01:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I would never forgive you for that.. :-p. How does it look now? I'm still going to be messing around with the colours, but is the layout more user friendly? →javért ^breakaway 01:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

MUCH better. :) I guess that this or this would suit better with me for background colors, but it's your choice. --Dylan620 (contribs, logs)^{help us!} 01:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, good. :-) Those are pretty colours, but I think they would make my sig a tad harder to read. I'll probably keep it the colour it is until I get bored at 1:00 in the morning. :-p →javért ^breakaway 01:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Until It Sleeps' RfA

With fast-moving RfAs, it's sometimes hard to keep a track of things, so I just thought I'd point out someone raised a question (which I assume was directed at your !vote) in this section. I only just noticed it about 10 hours after the event. Don't know whether it has any bearing. :) – B.hotep •talk• 14:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I was sorta/kinda wondering the same thing, actually. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 15:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

The BLP has libel in the history; not much in the way of real encyclopedic information, "XYZ is a governor from Estonia, some info about his campaign". Delete it and let it be recreated, or fix it up and delete/selectively restore. This is an opinion that may not be shared by many, but it bothers me enough that I can't support any more. I hate flip-flopping on !votes, but Question 8 hadn't been asked when I !voted. Best, →javért ^breakaway 15:15, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

That's fine. Wasn't trying to change your !vote, just wondered if you'd caught the discussion. By the way, I don't approve of flip-floppers either. There's at least one person who does it on a regular basis, sometimes having an entry in each and every section at some point. – B.hotep •talk• 15:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

As I always say, we are all entitled to our opinions, except when I decide otherwise. ;) Opposes can be brutal, though. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 15:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

@ Bubba: I hadn't seen it, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. :-) You mentioned someone having a !vote in every section of an RfA, so I think I know who you're talking about. That was what I wanted to avoid, so instead of "move to oppose", I just struck my !vote out. @ Vicenarian:haha, well I suppose I should've explained my position on the actual RfA, and yes, I agree that some opposes can be brutal. Best, →javért ^breakaway 15:38, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm getting annoying so I'll stop editing this page. Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 17:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

No, no, you're fine. :-) A flip-flopper is someone who changes their mind a lot. Like John Kerry REMOVED POV.. :-p →javért ^breakaway 17:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

No, no ,I wasn't referring to you. I knew it was a self-nom (if that's correct). It's just to make UIS feel better. I was edit conflicticated, so forgive me if this contradicts the new info. Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 17:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Haha, nice. :-) →javért ^breakaway 17:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Remember...

Extended content

...when we were talking about writing up a proposal for a new "suppressredirect" user right for those who fight page move vandalism? Whatever happened to that? I think I was going to write something, but then it got lost in a Red Bull-induced stupor. Still interested? Vicenarian (Said · Done) 17:46, 21 August 2009 (UTC) I'm actually not sure what happened. We were going to work on it like two Thursdays ago, but something came up. →javért breakaway 17:48, 21 August 2009 (UTC) Being the archive stalker I am, I remember. Can't help though, too idiotic/busy (me, I mean, not your idea). Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 17:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC) Yeah, I was reading through my own archives. They have reminded me that, yes, I was kind of stupid when I started out. Archive 1 is full of "Hey, maybe you shouldn't have done that" kinds of comments. But I learn quickly. I'm willing to work on it, but I see no reason for hurry. Honestly, page move vandalism is so rare, usually limited to the most patient and pernicious of vandals, that I'm not sure that the need for a separate right is quite so urgent. Administrators seem to be capable of tackling that which does come along. Not that it's a bad idea, though. Vicenarian (Said · Done) 17:57, 21 August 2009 (UTC) I'm kind of in the same boat, as you now. Since that one incident I haven't seen anything that an admin hasn't handled very quickly. Maybe if page move vandalism becomes more widespread, but I don't think it's needed now. Still a good idea, tho. :-) →javért breakaway 18:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC) I once saw The Simpsons being moved to H.A.G.G.E.R.. Before I had an account too. Stayed like that for hours.

But if that;s too strong a word I'll banish it from my consciousness until I explode. Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 20:54, 21 August 2009 (UTC) "Pedophile" has an extremely negative connotation associated with it (for obvious reasons). →javért breakaway 21:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC) Of course, I will take your constructive critiscism and apply it.

Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 21:06, 21 August 2009 (UTC) (edit conflict)(edit conflict)The neologism "wikipediaphile" would technically be consistent with the addition of "-phile" at the end of a word to indicate someone a strong predilection for something.

Sorry. :-P Vicenarian (Said · Done) 21:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC) Yes, but it starts with "Wikipede" and doesn't have "ia". I'm probably wrong, but I don't care 'cos I'm in a hurry. But I came here for something else. Give me a name of a really great user! I forgot about my award system, and can't think of anybody. In fact, no, that's not your responsibility, ignore that.

Because I finally stole acquired your anti-vandal system. Not that my Userpage is a big target (although there was one instance with a serial sockpuppeteer posting obscene images all over my pages many times), I hardly do any vandal-fighting.

Hi

Any idea what I should do with this article (or better still do it for me)? I have a feeling it's just copied from the back-cover of the book. I know it's not your area of speciality, sorry. At least you have an area of speciality. Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 21:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

 Checking... →javért ^breakaway 21:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, it looks okay to me. Granted, it's copied verbatim from those websites, but then it is in quotation marks. Still, the copyright notice at the bottom of the website in question bothers me, but it doesn't look like the article creator is trying to pass this off as his own. But like you said, this isn't something that I'm very active in, so if any of my talk page stalkers want to chime in, I would be most appreciated. →javért ^breakaway 21:08, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay. Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 08:58, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, this isn't something I spend a lot of time on either, but if I understand correctly; while the text is currently quoted, it should provide the authors name, and a link to where it's from (under each quote, rather than at the bottom of the section), so as to avoid plagiarism (although the brackets are good, they are not good enough on their own). We are fine to quote small amounts of copyrighted text (articles are allowed to use "brief verbatim textual excerpts from copyrighted media"). But, it would be preferable to use a free equivalent, the text should also be cut down a bit (there's currently quite a lot), and the source should be better cited. I haven't got much time at the moment, so I would suggest reading WP:NFC for yourself. Cheers, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 11:01, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

RFPERM

Hi there Javert :). How things going? A while ago you expressed some interest in archiving WP:RFPERM pages. As DustyBot has been inactive, I've created a semi-automated tool to help with archiving the requests. If you'd like to have a go with it, send me an email (I'll need your email address, as Wikipedia doesn't let me attach files). If DustyBot doesn't come back, I may create a fully automated bot to archive the requests. If it does come back, this tool could still be useful, as DustyBot doesn't archive Autoreviwer and NPWatcher requests. If you no longer have an interest in archiving, then that's fine, just let me know. By the way, I only created the tool today, so it isn't by any means perfect. Best, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 23:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Pretty good, Kingpin, thanks. :-) I'll send you an email from my main account once I get back home, it that's alright.

Full version of NICE to be released

Thanks for helping me and my colleagues test the NICE interface modification. Depending on when you installed the tool, you were only presented with a specific subset of the features we have developed. We are ready to roll out the full feature set which, we expect, will make the gadget significantly more useful. Before we do that, we'd like you to answer a few questions about your activity in Wikipedia as it relates to undoing other's edits and what you thought of the NICE features you were shown.

The survey will ask for your Wikipedia username, but you can participate anonymously if you choose. To do so, send me an email with an address I can respond to and I will have the survey software respond with an anonymous token for you to continue. --EpochFail ^{(talk|contribs)} 17:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Images on User:WebHamster

user indef'd as a sock

Thank you for commenting on my talk page. While I agree that Wikipedia should remain "not censored", I believe images of child pornography should not be tolerated on individuals user pages. Zhebius (talk) 03:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC) And I assume you have absolute proof that said picture is child pornography? She looks like an adult to me. It's best not to make such accusations without proof. →javért breakaway 03:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC) I disagree. I think the image is clearly one of a naked child. To err on the side of caution would probably be prudent in this case. Zhebius (talk) 04:03, 26 August 2009 (UTC) Without proof that the subject is underage, I think you will be hard-pressed to find agreement to delete it. If you still have concerns, you may want to raise this to office attention, see Wikipedia:Contact us. Vicenarian (Said · Done) 04:20, 26 August 2009 (UTC) While I agree that the image should not be on a user page, the original image (NSFW) [3] seems to indicate that the subject is indeed of a sufficient age to pose for such a photo. –xenotalk 04:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC) Agreed; she looks every bit the adult in that photo. →javért breakaway 04:34, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Haha, absolutely. I won't have much real focused content creation time until the weekend.

Your DYK...

...has been moved to the prep area. Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 14:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks like a good page. Bear in mind (Vicenarian) that it would have been better for an independent editor to add to the prep area (Wikipedia:Did you know/Guide). Anyway, no harm done here, the page looks fine (although it only just passes the size test, is there anything else would could be added to it?). Also, thanks for adding the Nokia Booklet :D - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:09, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Aye, I realize it would've been better to have another editor add it, but there was a hole to fill and an American story was needed. You're welcome, I didn't realize Nokia ever made computers! Vicenarian ^{(Said · Done)} 16:14, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Heh, me neither, until I found an article in the BBC news (which is where I look for new articles to write). Me thinks this new Booklet will be popular. If only because it is a Nokia, and their unbelievable 12 hour battery claim. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:40, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Yay. I'm excited, this is my first DYK after 13,000 edits, lol. :) @ Kingpin, yeah, it passes the size test by 97 characters, so pretty close.

User talk:209.36.244.253

Is there a reason you're edit warring to restore useless templates to the page? Clearly the user knows they're blocked. - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:03, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I am/was under the impression that if you're blocked you're not supposed to remove the block template from your talk page. →javért ^breakaway 23:14, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know, there's no "rule" saying this. If you take a look at WP:UP#CMT it says that declined unblock templates and shared IP headers are all that shouldn't be removed. Putting policies aside, there's no benefit in edit warring with a user on their talk page. So I'd ask that you don't do it in the future (unless of course the user was doing something disruptive - but this one was simply blanking the page). - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, fair enough. I apologise and will refrain from such behaviour in the future. →javért ^breakaway 23:25, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Just wanting to tell you. (read the whole bottom thing. User talk:MBK004Abce2|Aww nuts!Wribbit!(Sign here) 00:15, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I can understand Javert's view here. He doesn't want anyone to miss the fact that the IP has trangressed the accepted behaviour on Wikipedia. Once he becomes an admin (and he will), he will realise that we do check page histories thoroughly (although in some cases, because we are human, we don't and we need a few pointers because we are busy IRL, etc). But to call it edit warring is a slap in the face for people who (I know) are trying to protect the integrity of this great encyclopedia we are trying to build. Having said that, J-Man, there is a lot to be said for letting the vandal think they have the last word. ;) Email me if you want clarification. – B.hotep •talk• 00:16, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Your last point is most important. Edit warring (and that is what it was, regardless of intentions) is pointless, counter productive, etc. No reason for it.The policy these users were pointing to did not back their actions as "block messages" were not mentioned. That said, I've made my opinion known and don't plan on continuing discussion on the matter. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:25, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

And, I'm sure, as he said, he won't do it again. Or will at least think twice depending on who's on duty. – B.hotep •talk• 01:28, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Given that others have agreed with such actions, I'm not (any longer) asking Javert or anybody not to do it. I'd hope they seriously consider whether what they're doing is going to benefit anything, however. I'm not in any position to stop somebody from doing it. I just find it completely pointless and unnecessary. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Not sure if you have it watchlisted, but I tried to add some clarification to the IP talk page discussion taking place on MBK004`s talk page. The section in question is User talk:MBK004#User talk pages. Thank you, — Kralizec! (talk) 04:31, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Thank You(apology accepted;))I decided to log on and saw the message you left. I decided to do some reaserch about it and I am most troubled with the fact of [[4]]. I wonder who could be impersonating me. If it is possible to get someone to look into it and maybe preform some sort of check---such as a checkuser. I'd like to know who is behind this for I feel that I'm being stalked; although I haven't been as active recently so it could be a vandal I've delt with before? Please look into this. Thanks;)SchnitzelMannGreek. 18:27, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm honestly not too sure, SMG. Checkuser "isn't for fishing", but I would think that it could be done in this case. Have you thought of asking a CU (J.delanoy perhaps)? Regards, Javert (talk) 18:51, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
