[edit] Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up the vandalism on the Panic! at the Disco article. It looks like it was in place for a bit over two hours (I took the liberty of reverting back to a previous version, since there was still some of the vandalism in the article). Another user has warned the vandal, Uncfan3200 (talk • contribs). There are some tools for fighting vandalism at WP:VAND. If I can help with anything, feel free to write a

note on the bottom of my talk page, User_talk:TeaDrinker.  Thanks, again welcome, and keep up the great work.  --TeaDrinker 05:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of Roy Hattersley

The picture that was displayed in Roy Hattersley's biography, Image:90190.jpg, is a copyright violation uploaded without permission. The original is here. The uploader has made no claim of permission to use it and has uploaded a series of other images that are similarly blatant copyright infringements. Sam Blacketer 22:50, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] April 2007

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to Micropenis. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Gwernol 00:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] USA PATRIOT Act

It's good to see we're patrolling each other. [1] :-) All the best. Mmoneypenny 21:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism Templates

Yo! You recently warned a vandal. This is great, but there are specialized messages used for such. The best ones are:

Level 1

level 2

Level 3

level 4

And level 5, the only warning template. Cheers,

JetLover (Talk) (Sandbox) 21:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Here's even more. Cheers, JetLover (Talk) (Sandbox) 22:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blazers5505

My semi-private discussion with User:WhisperToMe concerning Seung-Hui Cho has been archived at subpage

[edit] Doctor Who/Daleks/Tony Hancock

Just to let you know, the insertion you deleted about Tony Hancock co-creating the Daleks with Terry Nation in "a drunken fugue" (I'll state that I've never encountered that last word used in this sense, but will freely admit that my knowledge of British English, as extensive as it is for an American, is not above challenge) wasn't vandalism, as Hancock was QUOTED to this effect in Doctor Who Magazine shortly after Nation's passing--the issue was a tribute to the latter. Don't have my copies at hand, but will get this one out at the first opportunity and send you an exact quote of the entire passage for your consideration as to whether or not the claim is worthy of adding to the article. Should be before the week is out. Ted Watson 18:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I owe you more than one apology. First, simply for taking so long to get back to you on this, as I did indeed complete my check "before the week [was] out." Second, because it didn't check out. The statement was not in the Terry Nation tribute article (not the whole issue, my bad again), and I couldn't find it in any other DWM issue I own, which is not all that many of them. Have no idea where I read it, but I feel certain it was in print, not on the computer screen, and I can't imagine any other publication within my personal experience that would have gone into it. So sorry I was wrong about where I encountered this and can't confirm it, and so sorry that I forgot. Ted Watson 19:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of User:Freedomlinux/boxes

I've nominated User:Freedomlinux/boxes, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that User:Freedomlinux/boxes satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/User:Freedomlinux/boxes and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:Freedomlinux/boxes during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Freedomlinux 01:17, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

This message appears quite confusing, but is actually quite simple. I created a temporary scratch page to test the configurations of custom userboxes. Because the sandbox was no longer necessary, I informed the AFD of its need of removal, and made a deletion request.
The sandbox in question has now been nominated for speedy deletion by creator request. Apologies for the long process.

[edit] Ban request

Being discussed. Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Do we fulfill requests for enforced Wikibreak blocks? Tell you what, can you try that user script linked to there, and see if it works? --AnonEMouse (squeak) 20:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Let me make that stronger. Try the Wikibreak Enforcer script in good faith, and if it doesn't work, and I can't make it work (I believe mystic mop powers allow me to edit your user configuration page) I'll look into blocking you for the requested time. If we can do it without blocking, let's, but if we can show that we made a best effort attempt at doing it another way, and it just didn't work, I don't think I'll lose my sysop status for it. :-) --AnonEMouse (squeak) 20:11, 22 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Firefox use

  • I saw you name on the Firefox Talk Page and then your User Page and thought you might help me. Last week I switched from Internet Explorer (without uninstalling) to Firefox. However, I have one major problem in that if I copy a table (such as Belmont Stakes) from Wikipedia or any other web site, when I paste it into a WORD document I lose the table and all the table's text is one long unfathomable paragraph. If I reopen the Internet with IE then I have no problem copying and pasting the table. I've looked at my Firefox tools but as a complete idiot on anything technical, can't figure it out. Can you give me some advice on this? Thanx. Handicapper (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanx for the suggestions, For now, I switched back to IE. Handicapper (talk) 17:15, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
