[edit] Thanks!

Thank you for deleting the vandalism on my talk page. Though I have to admit, that was the most hilarious Caps Lock rant I've seen in a long time. Thanks~ Trusilver 01:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I have a way to help

Hello! I noticed your user page, and I also noticed the vandalized userbox. I have a solution that will solve most if not all of your vandalism problems. Go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and file a request for semi-protection following the instructions there. According to the policy at WP:PROTECT, you can have your userpage (but not user talk page) semi-protected indefinitely if you so request. I had it done to my userpage, and it really does help. However, you can't have your page full-protected, which means that users older than 4 days can still edit your user page. However, this stops all IP-vandalism.

Thanks, I'll consider doing that although it is intresting what vandals say. Oysterguitarist 05:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I'm assuming it was payback for reverting yours. Well, thanks. Silver seren 23:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not even going to ask what that picture was of...it scared me.

On a better note, this has motivated me to become a recent changes patroller and actually put the userbox on my page. :)Silver seren 23:58, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, you can do that? I didn't know... <---is still a newb Silver seren 00:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spawn task force

Hello, I am a member of the Spawn task force, located here. It appears that you have made many contributions to Spawn-related pages. I thought you may want to join the task force and help out. Thanks! Drewcifer3000 09:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey Oysterguitarist. I didn't realize that your edits were reverts of vandalism. Sorry about that. But still, you're more than welcome to help out. Thanks either way. Drewcifer3000 23:07, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe that the article was deleted in error and should be reinstated. Ringobongo 01:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page Deletion?

I recently was informed that our page http://en.wikipedia.org/wik/Hello_Goodbye_the_band was deleted on July 5, 2007 and I would like to contest the deletion since there are other Beatle tribute bands listed with no more or less credibility than our aggregation; in particular 1964 the tribute & Blue Meanies. As far as "notability", since it's inception seven years ago Hello Goodbye has performed to standing room only attendances in the state of Florida thus gaining the act the moniker "Florida's premier musical tribute to The Beatles" as well as performing for over 800,000 live on one night (and over 1 million via TV simulcast on WSVN TV FOX AFFILIATE MIAMI) for the International Boat Show sponsored by Nokea, which is probably more than any other Beatle tribute has ever performed for in a single night (including all of the Beatle festivals worldwide). The band has also been featured in various publications, most notably & prominently in the recently published "All You Need Is Love To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - How The Beatles and U2 Changed The World" written by Todd McFliker (http://www.creativejournalist.com) and published by Continuum Press (http://www.continuumbooks.com/Books/detail.aspx?ReturnURL=/Search/default.aspx&CountryID=2&ImprintID=2&BookID=129768) in Chapter 10 "The Tribute Bands" pages 105, 106, 107 & 108.

I believe that the article was deleted in error and should be reinstated. Ringobongo 01:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Forgot

I forgot to do this the other day...

Silver seren 22:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome :))))))))))))Silver seren 22:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcomes

...because at the time I did the welcome, it did not seem clearly evident to me that this person was indeed a vandal. Thus, the welcome is in good faith, and should not be "challenged." Furthermore, I do not note any "test 1" etc. notices from you or anyone else at this moment. We should likely use those if the editor is, in fact, vandalizing. Happy editing, Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 06:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I was sorta wondering, since you noted the vandalism here [1], why did you not communicate with this editor about your concerns in his/her vandalism? Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 06:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. I just prefer to warn editors prior to blocking them. For example. I would not choose to block this editor until we went through one more warning, taking us through the whole 4 tests. In the case of a signed-in editor, like this, I would likely then do an indefinite block. I generally will not block someone prior to working them through (or someone else doing so) the test 1, test 2, test 3, test 4 warning system, or similar. Thanks for your response. --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 07:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Understood. And I see that you do use the warning system with some editors. Thanks for your work here and for what you do to add to the community. --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 07:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I thought you had used one....say here [2]. Some of the ones I use are these:
==Editing concerns==

#{{subst:uw-test2}} --~~~~
#{{subst:uw-test3}} --~~~~
#{{subst:uw-test4}} --~~~~
Perhaps the one on User_talk:71.199.67.186 was typed out by you? --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 14:17, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Honestly...I feel no ire. You are a welcome addition to the wikipedia community. I see you have been hard at it for around 2 months. Keep up the good work. Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 05:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please be more specific

Oyster, your recent comments on the Emo (slang) talk page are extremely brief and vague, so much so that Cheeser1 is getting all crazy about it. please try to expand on your comments. J-stan ^Talk 18:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

exactly my thoughts. It is so futile to be arguing about it, that I can't deal with it anymore. J-stan ^Talk 19:00, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Cheeser needs to cool off. Too much wikistress. J-stan ^Talk 19:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello! Nice to see you here. :) I am not willing to discuss what was happening, but I wasn't in the right state of mind to be online. I will tell you, I wasn't taking wikipedia/Geowiki seriously at that moment, and I assure you something like that won't happen again. My apologies, --Isis4563(talk) 01:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. :) --Isis4563(talk) 02:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Good work helping to defend Ben Gurion International Airport the vandal is gone now finally. Cheers. -Icewedge 06:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Online personal training

Hi, in regards to the online personal training article this is my first resource article...I did place links in my attribution footer, but I placed three different ones hoping someone would tell me which one would be the correct way to attribute my contributions...

I think my article explains what online personal training is, what one should look for, and what one should expect. I am a noted, published expert in the field, and that's verifiable...At any rate I hope you look into it before you decide to delete it...thanks.Twtnyc 18:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)Twtnyc 18:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

okay...I'm not going to blame you, or be offended or anything :) but if you could look over the article and reccommend some changes that would be great. What's the best way to place an author link at the bottom? There arent really any wide-spread industry wide guidelines set forth by the fitness industry as yet as far as standards for online personal training goes, so i thought this would be helpful. thanks for the response btw :) Twtnyc 19:03, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I was still working on my page and it was deleted, a little too quickly. Why? Brian.connolly 20:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs

Hello Oysterguitarist,

I noticed you marked an article as a stub using the {{stub}} template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the Wikipedia community because it helps various WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.

You can view the full list of stub types at WP:STUBS.

If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks! --Darkwind (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'l take a look at that when I have some time. Oysterguitarist 15:33, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Still AIV trucking along, I see. ;) Silver seren 16:43, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I punked many people. XD Hey, yesterday I submitted my first report to the AIV! It made me happy....not thats its a good thing, but blocking is fun. XP Silver seren 16:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nope

All changes were correct and fixed inaccuracies. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.210.134.95 (talk) 07:05, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

For interest, has been confirmed that AHANA is not a hoax. You may wish to reconsider your AfD comment. Dbromage [Talk] 07:23, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, i've changed my vote to keep. Oysterguitarist 07:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I Don't Dance

Hi. In case you're not looking at it anymore, thought I'd let you know that I Don't Dance is on the Billboard Hot 100 now if that makes a difference to you concerning your Delete vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Don't Dance. Thanks Kinston eagle 12:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

No it doesn't, the sources are trivial which makes them fail WP:RS. You only seem to want to keep it cause you like it, which is not a reason to keep an article. Oysterguitarist 14:34, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

Hey Oysterguitarist, I have seen your excellent work against the vandals many times and I just now realized that you do all the reverting without the help of any scripts, I would recommend installing WP:TW it really helps a lot. -Icewedge 05:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately most revert scripts don't work in IE(or just version 2.0) so I am left with the undo button for now. Oysterguitarist 05:37, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Have you tried WP:POP? I believe that works in IE. -Icewedge 05:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah except it goes very slow when popping up and took a while to close once it got up, I'm guessing that's because of my browser ): Oysterguitarist 05:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh well. I will stop harassing you now. Keep up the good work! -Icewedge 05:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Keep up your good work to :), well I have to go afd something now. Oysterguitarist 05:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

OG - I proposed the template abuse warning at WT:UTM and there was no real opposition. So, I think we can move forward with adding it to the list.

[edit] Linkin Park and 3RR Three-revert rule

I fully protected the Linkin Park article and blocked four of the fifteen accounts being used to engage in the revert war at Linkin Park, including your user account. A fifth user account was blocked by another admin. An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. See Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Most of the editors knew when to stop, some did not. The 3RR vandalism exception applies only to the most simple and obvious vandalism, the kind that is immediately apparent to anyone reviewing the last edit. It is not sufficient if the vandalism is simply apparent to those contributing to the article, those familiar with the subject matter, or those removing the vandalism itself. If you have a disagreement over content, discuss that disagreement on this talk page. When in doubt, do not revert. If discussion is not possible, ask for administrative assistance or engage in dispute resolution. For now, please take a break and enjoy the rest of the weekend. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 20:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Greets, first of all thx for reverting the blanking of my page done by 69.19.14.20. Secondly, i'd like to add that 69.19.14.20 has vandalised some pages that i have started or contributed such as Veria, Kostas Tsartsaris, Jeremiah Massey which you can see at the edit history. Could you please do something like locking this articles for some time? Many thanks.Sergiogr 21:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Your welcome, and I am not an admin so I can not lock the articles, but you can request protection at requests for page protection. Although it looks like they have stopped but I'll keep an eye on them. Oysterguitarist 21:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Mind if i ask you something? I mean i want to propose a article for deletion but every time i do some stranger not registered keeps deleting my template with no apparent reason. What can i do about that? Thanks again Sergiogr 22:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

You can put {{uw-afd1}} on there talk page. If they do it again you can change the number, so if they did it again you could put {{uw-afd2}}. If they do it after a fourth time you can report them to Administrator intervention against vandalism so they can be blocked. Oysterguitarist 22:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
