[edit] Thank You

Thank you for your warm welcome. I will try only to make high quality edits. Calypso Joe (talk) 02:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome, Calypso. I'm part of the Welcoming committee, and I try to greet as many newcomers as I can. I saw that your talk page hasn't been created yet, even though you made constructive edits. You also might have read the helpful guidelines and policies; but I decided to add a welcome template to your discussion page. Regards! SchfiftyThree 02:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for reverting vandalism[1] on my userpage. --SMS Talk 00:10, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! SchfiftyThree 03:03, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] San Diego page

Hey sorry about the editing on the Padres page a couple of days back, my friends are idiots and take their baseball rivalries too seriously. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.148.50 (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Meetup

  • I'll have to see about that. I'm currently in post-secondary school, and I'll have to check my schedule. If I'm not there, that's okay ;) SchfiftyThree 21:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just so you're aware

User:SpengbabAnnihilation, a sockpuppet of someone who regularly vandalizes the Mustafa Kemal Ataturk page, is using a copy-paste of your userpage as his own. Though you might want to know. Kafka Liz (talk) 22:17, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I didn't notice that until you left the message. Thanks! SchfiftyThree 22:22, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Just one quick question...

See here. Just scroll down until you get to the end of the wide left box. 21655 ωhατ δo γoυ ωαητ? 13:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Leaving?

Firstly, I was only semiretired. I didn't have the time to vandalfight anymore, and I knew jacksquat about writing articles. But then someone taught me, and now I'm good. 21655 ταλκ/01ҁ 16:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

That's good. Back in March this year, I put the semi-retired message on my userpage, but eventually came back into editing. I usually revert vandalism without automated software, like Twinkle or Huggle, but later I might get them. SchfiftyThree 17:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This user...

has too many userboxes :P --RadioElectric (talk) 21:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh well. I'll remove some in the near future... ;) SchfiftyThree 21:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: RFPP

Hey there. That user has been blocked indef, so unless there are more vandals on my userpage I think I'll be OK. If it does start to get bad, I'll request a semi. Thanks for the suggestion, Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 22:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the barnstar. It was much appreciated. Epbr123 (talk) 22:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! :D SchfiftyThree 22:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:HAU

Hello again. The Highly Active Users project has gone through a complete revamping per popular demand. We believe this new format will make it easier for new editors to find assistance. However, with the new format, I must again ask you to verify your information on this page. I attempted to translate the data from the old version to the new, but with the extensive changes, I may have made some errors. Thanks again. Useight (talk) 03:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Find Me?

How did u find me?--GREENZzBoii (talk) 19:34, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

There is a special page that allows people to see new accounts that have recently been created. I'm also part of the Welcome Committee, a group of users who greet newcomers. I certainly do hope you can find your way well around here, but thanks for asking! SchfiftyThree 19:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MOS

Hiya. You're welcome to tell people about the extra redirect, WP:MANUAL, but the style on guidelines and policy pages these days is only to put the one or two most popular and well-known shortcuts in the shortcut box. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 23:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Whenever I find a shortcut, I add it to the list of shortcuts for that page, but thanks for the advice. SchfiftyThree 23:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I was surprised not to see any guidance on this at the shortcut guidelines page, so I started a conversion. Please feel free to join; I've only noticed people caring 3 or 4 times, so the guidelines should probably say something one way or the other. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 23:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar. I sooo love getting shiny stuff!! ;) btw, I've been seeing you around too, and after looking at your contribs, you definitely deserve this: Thingg⊕⊗ 19:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Wow. You've been doing a lot of vandalism reversions lately. (and you reverted on my user page!!! :-D) Thanks much for all your hard work keeping Wikipedia clear of vandalism. Thingg⊕⊗ 19:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll also post this on my userpage under the Awards section. -- SchfiftyThree 19:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:CSD G7

Hi - sorry about that; Huggle is supposed to warn me about that, but anyway, my fault, and thanks for the heads-up. Vishnava talk 15:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I've been here for over 2 years, and know a little about this stuff ;) -- SchfiftyThree 15:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
