[edit] Test!

Test! --Lolipod (talk) 23:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Weirdalfan1243

FWIW, I already gave this user the necessary warning. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 01:08, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Huggle warned automatically :) --Lolipod (talk) 02:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Why did you ask 5 other admins to give you rollback? I think it would be best if you went around and explored for a bit, since a lot has changed since 2006. bibliomaniac15 01:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Esperanza got disbanded (as well as Concordia), we've added some 500 or so admins, a whole bunch of new people have come and gone, we added 5 or so crats, new scripts such as Twinkle, Friendly, and Huggle have appeared, steward elections and Wikimanias came and went, more than a million articles were created, rollback was added as a group (with a whole bunch of Wikidrama too), there are around 600 more FAs and 2000 more GAs, and basically a whole bunch of stuff. bibliomaniac15 01:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I granted the request because I saw no particular reason not to, but Bibliomaniac is right - you should ease into things, in case you stumble into some kind of conflict. Rollback is mainly intended just for dealing with obvious vandalism. Bryan Derksen (talk) 01:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "this user"

Hi. With reference to this edit, do you have other users? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: post on my talk page

Well, I accidentally reverted a couple of your edits too. I guess we all want the reverts all the time. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wewelsburg

Hello,

my comments to the Wewelsburg were all backed by sources!

[edit] Hello

Thanks for the award. And would you believe it, I fell for it again when I clicked on your talk page! lol. I'm so gullable :-( - Corn.u.co.pia Discussion 04:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you deciding not to change your name? Personally, I like Lolipod =) Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 21:13, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

p.s. I guess you might be wondering who I am. I have been watching the name changes page recently, since I changed my own name a few days ago. Other than that, I don't know anything about you. Also, I believe you messed up a bit when you edited the page the other day ... right now it says that it was Cream, not 1/2, who was "mr pelican shit".

[edit] L

The interwiki link I added is legit -- please check it before reverting. --Smeira 2:10 21 Mar 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.81.245.220 (talk) 01:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

My edit was, in fact, constructive. The name of the operating system is "Mac OS X," not "Macintosh OS X." 129.21.136.196 (talk) 01:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

No harm no foul. I considered making a bot, but there are lots of edge cases. It's not just a find-and-replace type thing. Thanks anyways. 129.21.136.196 (talk) 01:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unconstructive?

Are you serious? I added over 30 new references to Dysmenorrhea and painstakingly fact-checked the entire article. Why did you throw my hours of work away? 98.217.45.69 (talk) 01:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Boiler room (business)

That reverted edit was mine; I wasn't logged in. I'm not sure why it was considered unconstructive: "OTC pink sheets" is hardly an obvious phrase to the layperson, and the {{what}} tag I added was intended to get someone to either explain or wikilink. I wasn't sure which was more appropriate, hence not using a simple wikilink/redlink myself. Loganberry (Talk) 01:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Linda stone

The cat Apple employees doesn't exist. 80.170.190.193 (talk) 16:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for catching that I didn't have the template up on the talk page for the username I want to usurp. Though it would have been nice if you would have not directed me to the incorrect page before fixing it, took me from when you left the message until now to figure out I put the template on the wrong page because you directed me there. Eh, it's no trouble. But thanks anyway. Redphoenix526 (Talk)

[edit] Thanks

[edit] SVG work

Hi - sorry, can't help (waay to busy!) but I'm sure someone over at Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Images to improve will sort it out straight away. --mikaul^talk 10:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IRC Cloak

I confirm that my freenode nick is Cream

[edit] Adoption?

Hi there Cream. I was just wondering, would you be interested in being adopted?. I would be more than willing to adopt you, I'll help you out how I can. So, what do you think? Steve Crossin (talk to me) 16:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User warnings

Please note that WP:NFCC is a project-wide policy on what constitutes fair use of non-free media. Reverting my edit and then warning me for vandalism was highly inappropriate. --Bragen 16:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unblocked, with conditions.

Hi,

I've just unblocked you per the consensus on AN. Please take a look over that thread to see exactly what is being expected of you as you get a fair second chance. To emphasize what's written on that thread - if you don't remain constructive and civil, or use multiple accounts, you will be blocked. On that thread, three admins have said they'll be willing to "keep an eye on you", and no doubt there will be others, so please don't do anything stupid :).

As you've no doubt seen, I've gone to some effort to give you this second chance. If you blow it, you can probably expect a lot less leniency from everyone else in future.

With the nasty bits out of the way, welcome back - congratulations and keep contributing constructively :). Martinp23 01:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome back. You in the market for an adopter? :P GlassCobra 03:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. Stick the adopted tag on your page, and I'll put the adopted tag on mine. :) GlassCobra 05:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Euler edit

Hey - I was just trying to make the spacing standardized at the article's top. I don't really care, but I just thought it'd be nicer aesthetically, more in tune with the rest of the encyclopedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.212.94 (talk) 20:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
