[edit] Rfc/user for Shashwat pandey
Dear PrestonH,
Users Sethie and Reneeholle have filed an Rfc for user Shashwat pandey.
Because you have contributed to either the Sahaj Marg page, the Shri Ram Chandra Mission page, or both, we would appreciate it if you could provide your comments of this user at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Shashwat_pandey
Here are the guidelines for responding [1]:
- Other users can endorse a view (under 1.7), by adding their signature to the list after that view. Along with their signature, they may wish to offer a clarifying comment of one or two sentences, for example if they agree with all but one particular part of the view. Longer responses than that should probably go into their own "View" section.
- Anyone can endorse any view, regardless of whether or not they are outside parties, inside parties, or even the subject of the RfC. Ideally, there will be some view(s) that both sides of the involved parties can endorse.
- You may endorse as many views as you wish. You may also endorse the original RfC statement (under section 1.7), and/or the subject's response (under section 2).
Thank you for your time. It is greatly appreciated! 18:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Admin status
I see that you are working towards admin status. What are some of the things other admins look for when "promoting" someone to admin status? P.S. I liked your tools so much I nicked some of them for my own page. Thanks.--Mcattell 18:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help me
Hi, PrestonH. I notice that you put the comment on the Vandalism Information template on my page, User:Mr_webby/Sandbox. I have one question: does editing I make to my own page show up as vandalism? If not, I would like to know who has been messing around with my page. Please reply.
Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 23:06, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Me again
Hi, its me again. All I really wanted to know was if anyone apart from myself had edited my page. I'm just experimentimg with creating templates at the moment, so i will be editing the page quite a lot. Please reply.
Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 23:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for that. I know how to check the edit history now. Thanks again. Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 23:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Me again... again
Hi me again again. Who would I talk to if i thought there should be a disambiguation page created? I think there should be one for Michaels. Others may not think it is a good idea, but I am just learning, and I came across it. If one is created, I think these four links would be good to add.
You know the drill; please reply.
Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 23:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
for the revert on my userpage :) --Oxymoron83 10:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

| I know this is a bit over-grateful, but I still want to thank you for that help on templates and disambiguation pages you gave me. At my school, not many people are nice to me, and it just makes me feel good knowing that someone wants to help me. Thank you. Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 21:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC) |
[edit] What's going on???
Hey PrestonH. I've just been to the Wikipedia main page, and the whole page is out of whack. Pictures are out of place, and others are just missing. The same thing has happened to other pages as well. Is it just my computer, or has someone vandalised the whole Wikipedia? Please reply. Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 21:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- OK. Sorry it took me so long to get back, I don't get on the net that often. It was probably just the computer I was on, I just wanted to double check when I sent you that message. I can't change the settings on my school account, that sort of thing has been blocked on our network. Thanks for your help anyway. Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 21:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

- Funny thing you should say that about school. I created this account at school, and although I have been on Wikipedia outside school, I have only used this account at school. Some idiots at school purposely vandalise this site, and I am shocked at what they do. Thanks for your help anyway. Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 02:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] THANKS
Thanks for your spelling check in upanayan; the error was not my creation, but my fault was that I failed to notice it and you succeeded. Change offical to official on your user page : "These are my offical signatures in the past". Learn the use of editing tools if you want to become a better editor (and admin in future). If possible, use smaller letters on the top of your user page. A good editor should appear to be less imposing and simple, but correct and balanced. Pay more attention to study than to Wiki editing or computer games. Do not take me otherwise. Although I am fourfold in age, you joined Wiki before me. -Vinay Jha

[edit] About your revert on Jak 3
Thank you for your work on defending Jak 3 from vandalism. I'm noticing a tendency for this article to get vandalized like this recently; in fact, most of the edits to this article have been vandalism by an IP address (nothing against IP addresses, I used to be one) followed by a revert by someone with an account. I think that it might require protection, but I feel the need for someone else to agree with me on this. Again, thank you. By the way, if I don't respond to any message you leave me for a few days, it's because I can't access a computer until Monday. Larrythefunkyferret 05:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP:CVU status
The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] Me again... again... again
Me again. Hope you're not getting sick of me. I just wanted to know, how do I archive my user talk page? I've seen a lot of people with them, and I don't know how they do it. Please reply. Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 21:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for that advice. I was only curious. I wasn't intending to archive my user talk page just yet, just wanted to know how. Thanks. Mr_webbyPlease send me a message! Muhaahaha! 02:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I think I will enjoy this. I really think that any given person enjoys doing something that people would acknowledge and compliment over doing something people look down upon and get annoyed from.
I'm planning to create an account, install anti-vandalism software (any you recommend?), and simply patrolling and contributing where I can. I'll keep everyone posted. 75.60.14.113 14:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Userpage
Hello I seen your comment on Phaedriel's page and you said you needed a design. I would be glad to help you with it. If you want me too. I currently have a design in my sandbox The user E-mailed me to design it for him. But there are some minor things I have to add on it. If you are interested that I create one for you. All I need to know is what color would you like it? King Lopez Contribs 09:50, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Great! give me a couple of days. I still have one on my sandbox that I need to paste it on the users page. Green sounds fine. Would you like any userboxes or pictures to go with the design as well? King Lopez Contribs 06:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oops! I had already added you to my to do list, dear Preston - but I see my friend King has already stepped in! I'll leave your request in his expert hands then; but still, please feel free to visit me if I can help you in any other way. I hope you had a beautiful weekend! :) Love, Phaedriel - 01:55, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ooh-kay then, dear Preston! :) *hands you the menu* I'll get to work on your new page asap - colors/layout/images/anything at all that you wish? :) Love, Phaedriel - 10:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hold on there
Hello I want to apologize for taking a long time. I took a break for quite a while. Anyways the good news is that I finished your userpage design. You can view your design in my sandbox I hope you like it. I added a mixture of green and yellow as you requested on my talk page. I also added a symbol that you also wanted. I also reformatted the userboxes to the right side of the page longside the symbol and I fixed the spacing on the page. It is a really long page. It must of took you a long time to type all that. Let me know what you think. Cheers. King Lopez Contribs 08:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hello I am going to try to make it look like that but I am not sure about the coding. It may be kind of difficult. But let me see what I can do. You can view any changes on my sandbox When we are ready I will let you know when to copy and paste on your userpage. King Lopez Contribs 10:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:PrestonHUserpageFormat2.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:PrestonHUserpageFormat2.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Hey again, PrestonH. Long time, no see. Heh, I just started doing vandalblocking and vandalfighting yesterday. I'll probably stop a few days, when I have to study for exams :-P. Nishkid64 (talk) 04:07, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your Design
Sorry I have tried to format the page as you requested but I keep messing up on it. I know how to do 4 different designs and the one you gave me was pretty hard. You can copy the design from my sandbox or you could ask my friend Phaedriel and she may know how to do it. It is pretty complicated. I have tried it several times and It doesn't turn out right. Sorry about that. I wish I could help on it. King Lopez Contribs 09:57, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday
Sorry about the late notice, but happy birthday anyway. Our paths have not crossed on Wikipedia lately, but I have been tracking your activities on casual basis, only because I think we should make you an administrator. Please keep doing whatever you think need to be done. ~----
- Thank you Arch Dude for celebrating my (late notice) birthday. Well, I'm reaching a goal of becoming a potential admin, and I will try my best to do so. We may cross our paths again sometime now. Glad to see you again and good luck editing. PrestonH 05:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hi Preston!
As for Wikipedia, good luck on vandal fighting. Your contributions prove that you sure can be an administrator on Wikipedia. Anyways, talk to you soon! (And good luck on that test tomorrow. Hope you studied!) AL2TB Gab or Tab 02:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

How did you get your user page protected, Preston? AL2TB Gab or Tab 03:07, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tips. Again, sorry for posting personal information from my first post. I'm sure you knew this already, but if you are paranoid about that, you can always go to WP:RfO and follow directions from there. Tootles! AL2TB Gab or Tab 04:47, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your RfA?
Hey Preston, I've noticed from your number of contributions and everything. So, I wish to nominate you as an administrator. Is that okay with you? AL2TB Gab or Tab 05:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- Your RfA is created (Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/PrestonH). Now you have to go there and accept your nomination by signing your name, as well as answering some questions. Then I'll take care of the rest and add your nomination into the list of current nominations in the WP:RfA main page. AL2TB Gab or Tab 06:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry you felt you had to withdraw your RFA. Please don't be discouraged, and please try again in the future. All the best, — Rudget speak.work 16:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I think you would make an excellent admin. I hope to see your name on the RfA list again some time. Rklawton (talk) 20:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- I think you'll be good admin as well: just pay attention to the people who had polite and constructive criticism, and try again in a few months. Good luck. Acalamari 20:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- I understand, though if you change your mind, I'll support. Good luck. Acalamari 21:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Where did you get the tools for reverting edits using rollback? I'd like to see how they work. ;) AL2TB Gab or Tab 03:04, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Response
Preston - The case has not been concluded, the checkuser was simply declined. The SOCKS case has not been resolved yet. Once it is, and we can put this whole affair to bed, then and only then, I will consult an admin about putting the prod template back up on the Artisol account, with valid dates. I'd support that one, if it's kosher with administration. Edit Centric (talk) 08:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling mistakes
Thanks for your note. It scarcely matters about that one change of mine, because that section of the article also contained errors in the spelling of "consequences", "occasional", "partied" and "believed" which had not been corrected. In any event, the whole section has now been deleted because it was not only unsourced but also probably libellous. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 05:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Simple English Wikipedia
Hmm... I noticed there is another account under your name in the Simple English Wikipedia at w:simple:User:PrestonH, which was created not too long ago. Is this also your account? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 06:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- The account mentioned has been indefinitely blocked on Simple Wikipedia as a probable sockpuppet. Checkuser information shows the account directly connected to an account with a history of sockpuppety. The account shall remain blocked unless a request to usurp it is made to a bureaucrat. Oddly, while Checkuser policy places rules against listing the details and I can only see checkuser data on Simple and not here, I believe Al2TB's comments that the account he mentions earlier on this page was indeed used by his cousin in the southern California area. Creol (talk) 07:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Wait a minute, are you sure it was used by my cousin? He came over to my house for an occasion... I think he did create that account on the Simple Wikipedia. (No offense Preston, but my cousin (his first name is Simon, by the way) has something against you, mainly because you're smarter than him, according to what he told me. Simon actually told me to give you a picture that he drew about you at school. But I threw it out because it had inappropriate material.) So much for trying to create a password for my computer login; my cousin used my parent's computer. *sigh* ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 19:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New section
As I did say I was going to quit editing roads, I think I'm going to resume. However, it's going to be minor fixes and everything. I'm going to try to keep a low profile. If that can't go smoothly, I guess I should stop using this account. (I only continued to use the AL2TB account so I can communicate with you.) ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 19:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] My Rfa
My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, and I'll do what I can to ensure your opinion of my suitability for adminship improves. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.--MONGO 19:41, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] References
Are you an expert at reference tags? I can add references, but I have a problem with the links and everything; check the article I've been working on - U.S. Route 395 in California. (The References section is messed up.) Where can I go to learn more about them? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 23:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, there are a couple brackets meandering around in the section. (There are not supposed to be any in the References section.) But I'll go fix it when I have the time. Thanks for the link, though! ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 03:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Could you come in to the HWY IRC channel at your convenience? Thanks. --Rschen7754 (T C) 01:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Cite web template
Say, how do you use the cite web thing? I saw that from your recent contributions, and I was hoping you can teach me how to use it. It could be helpful in making references and putting it in a proper format (like a bibliography or a works cited list). ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 03:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Online?
Hey Preston, are you online right now? I have a question that I will send through e-mail if you're online right now. ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 02:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's kind of a math help question. I'll send it through e-mail in a moment. It's finding the inverse via row operations. ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 02:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
