Sorry for moving the page Orinda in the way that I did. In the future, how should I go about doing that? Originally Orinda was a disambig page which had a link to Orinda, California, I moved them so O, C was at Orinda, and the disambig page was its own, linked from the O, C page. I copied the irignal 'Orinda' page, and copy/pased it into Orinda (disambiguation), then had Orinda redirect to Orinda, California). How should I do that in the future?

Hey, I got an automated message from you about a picture I uploaded months ago... I have no idea where I got it, probably using google image. The thing is that as I just said, I have no idea on where it came from, so I have no copyrights to add to it, what should I do?

Hi. Thought I'd check in with you again. As per our nice Feb. 12 discussion re: the status of the Template:User_anti-fascism userbox, I see it just "survived" a keep/delete vote. Fine, but I'm a bit annoyed, not by the content (about which I could care less) but because the "pro" was deleted rather quickly, and the anti-Marxism boxes were deleted quickly. The pro-Marxist boxes...well, they never faced a TfD vote at all and survive intact. I'm detecting a rather one-sided and selective pattern of deletions here. Why is that? You said deletions were rather slow, but not slow enough to "save" selective boxes. I think I need more education on this topic to be better informed. Nhprman 03:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Just for your information. To my mind, User:Ted Wilkes is frequently gaming the system. He did this several times in the past. Most people may remember his mud-throwing campaign against arbcom member Fred Bauder. There is much evidence that he is identical with multi-hardbanned User:DW. For a summary of facts supporting this view, see [2]. Wilkes was blocked for one week by administrator Jtdirl. His contribution to the Jim Duffy article seems to be his personal reaction.

Thanks for showing me the correct way to do that on the SuperBowl XXXVII page. And improving the syntax. Hokeman 04:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
These edits represent a first cut at tournament pages, and my main goal in creating them was to get something online before the (presumable) rush of people visiting the 2006 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. I'll try to switch over to your templates in the near future, but as I mentioned before, flexibility is the main issue. I don't know if the wiki template syntax supports it, but it would be nice if unspecified cells in a 16 team bracket were just left blank. This would allow for byes. Also, before 1979, there were no seeds.
Which bots remove whitespace that they deem unnecessary? I'm surprised that there are bots like this, as it seems needlessly destructive... -- Dantheox 21:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
My thought on putting that text back into the article that you removed is that mentioning that other teams having fight songs shows that it's part of a treasured NFL tradition, and that the Panthers wanted to start with something traditional that could become part of the fabric of the team.
Sadly, it was not to be (much to the chagrin of few hard-core Panthers fans). SpikeJones 04:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your message on this user's talk page, I removed it. As I'm sure you're aware, comments like "Nice try bucko" only provides reinforcement that they've annoyed you, and they'll keep vandalizing. Simply revert, and document it with a warning on their talk page so that we can eventually ban this disruptive user. I've been watching this user's sockpuppet User:72.79.3.112 and it seems he came back yesterday to re-insert old edits (see Buffalo Bills, New York Yankees entries).

I've moved the 1998 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament page to your {{4TeamBracket}} and {{16TeamBracket}} templates, and will be updating the remaining 64 team tournaments (1985-2004) soon. A few thoughts on the brackets:

I noticed that the page Red cedar redirects to Redcedar, which is clearly misspelled (should be two words). I wasnt able to change it since the correct spelling was already a page ( Red cedar, the redirect). Could you fix this? Or if you could tell me how, I will.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I've tweaked your Template:4TeamBracket to allow byes using the "color:white" method I described above. Sample template at User:Dantheox/4TeamBracketByes and a demo at User:Dantheox/Bracket Byes. Basic idea: there are two new parameters, "RD1-game1" and "RD1-game2". If they aren't specified, then it's just your four team bracket. If they're set to "white", then the corresponding game is completely whited out. Let me know what you think... "display:none" may have been a better way to do this, but "color:white" seems to work, too. How difficult would it be to integrate this into Template:16TeamBracket? -- Dantheox 05:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
The {{4RoundBracket-Byes}} template would only be used in 1979-1984, so it's not that high priority. The three round bracket with byes covered pretty much everything. I noticed that User:Jodel's brackets had a Bronze Medal Match. This would be fantastically useful for the NCAA brackets, both for the two round bracket (a national third place game was played until 1981) and the three round bracket (a regional third place game was played until ~1975). This third place game would be a great candidate for {{Qif}}-ing -- Dantheox 16:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I redid the template. It's signficantly smaller than the original, and gives just as much information. Your version was an improvement, but I didn't like how it reduced the font.

I just adjusted the bracket in the 1951 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament to reflect the fact that there wasn't a "real" final four that year. I combined the seperate regional brackets (8 team brackets) to make one big 16-team bracket. I used the "group1" and "group2" fields in your template to mark out the East and West regions in this bracket, but I'm not very happy with how the result looks. I'd assumed that these labels would go in the second round column, in the large gap between the first/second and third/fourth games. Any chance you could make this change? I don't know whether any other pages are using those particular fields. Thanks, -- Dantheox 23:34, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Dear Zzyzx, I saw you recently failed the article Mickey Mantle for GA status. If you have reviewed an article (regardless of decision) you should remove it from Wikipedia:Good articles/Nominations to prevent confusion.
The main problem with your review was that it wasn't very in-depth, as you only commented on the introduction, and ignored the rest of the article. After having quickly scanned the article, it seems to be okay (if you check my track record I am a hard ass when it comes to GA) and one minor blip is not enough for failure (it is however a main component of denying promotion, often alongside a wealth of grammar issues). I am reviewing this thoroughly, and shall make a decision whether to keep the article or abide your decision.
It's great that you are helping with the GA process, but you need to review the entire article and way the positives and negatives, further helpful reading may be Wikipedia:What is a good article. Thanks again, Highway 23:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi there - you removed the {{db-bio}} notice from this page (which I added), citing that this person was notable in the edit summary. I was just wondering on what grounds you made this decision: association football is a professional sport in the UK; the player concerned is an amateur and has never played for a professional club, which means he fails the basic test for notability for sportspersons in WP:BIO. Qwghlm 08:42, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Instead of just changing the tag you should consider deleting images at Category:Images on Wikimedia Commons. There are only 7425 of these left. This was the reason I used the {{db}} tag, because nothing ever seems to get done and the category just keeps getting bigger. Someone really should take care of this.

Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

Thanks Zzyzx11, for noticing that I hadn't vandalized the page. You are perceptive. I HATE vandalism, believe me. I'm a new kid on the block.Good advice though about summarizing the edits. I should have at least mentioned that I left something on the Discussion page regarding why I removed that paragraph about the CATCH II (by the way what is CATCH I???). I removed it because something kept going wrong with the formatting when I tried to give
its own heading. I simply removed the piece after much frustration and hid it on the talk page.
SO HERE'S MY QUESTION: WHY WOULDN'T IT FORMAT PROPERLY??? IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY USING THE SANDBOX??? WILL THIS FIX THE FORMATTING PROBLEMS I ENCOUNTER.
If you reverted the article back to its previous version before I edited, you of course noticed the terrible format that occurred. How did you fix the problem? I looked at the history page, and it looks like all you did was add a colon :....

I will continue regular article/project contributions, but I will also allocate a sizable portion of my wikischedule toward administrative duties :) Thanks again, and if you have any questions/comments/tips, please let me know! — Deckiller 05:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Just for your information. To my mind, User:Ted Wilkes is frequently gaming the system. He did this several times in the past. Most people may remember his mud-throwing campaign against arbcom member Fred Bauder. There is much evidence that he is identical with multi-hardbanned User:DW. For a summary of facts supporting this view, see [2]. Wilkes was blocked for one week by administrator Jtdirl. His contribution to the Jim Duffy article seems to be his personal reaction.

Thanks for showing me the correct way to do that on the SuperBowl XXXVII page. And improving the syntax. Hokeman 04:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
These edits represent a first cut at tournament pages, and my main goal in creating them was to get something online before the (presumable) rush of people visiting the 2006 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. I'll try to switch over to your templates in the near future, but as I mentioned before, flexibility is the main issue. I don't know if the wiki template syntax supports it, but it would be nice if unspecified cells in a 16 team bracket were just left blank. This would allow for byes. Also, before 1979, there were no seeds.
Which bots remove whitespace that they deem unnecessary? I'm surprised that there are bots like this, as it seems needlessly destructive... -- Dantheox 21:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
My thought on putting that text back into the article that you removed is that mentioning that other teams having fight songs shows that it's part of a treasured NFL tradition, and that the Panthers wanted to start with something traditional that could become part of the fabric of the team.
Sadly, it was not to be (much to the chagrin of few hard-core Panthers fans). SpikeJones 04:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your message on this user's talk page, I removed it. As I'm sure you're aware, comments like "Nice try bucko" only provides reinforcement that they've annoyed you, and they'll keep vandalizing. Simply revert, and document it with a warning on their talk page so that we can eventually ban this disruptive user. I've been watching this user's sockpuppet User:72.79.3.112 and it seems he came back yesterday to re-insert old edits (see Buffalo Bills, New York Yankees entries).

I've moved the 1998 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament page to your {{4TeamBracket}} and {{16TeamBracket}} templates, and will be updating the remaining 64 team tournaments (1985-2004) soon. A few thoughts on the brackets:

I noticed that the page Red cedar redirects to Redcedar, which is clearly misspelled (should be two words). I wasnt able to change it since the correct spelling was already a page ( Red cedar, the redirect). Could you fix this? Or if you could tell me how, I will.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I've tweaked your Template:4TeamBracket to allow byes using the "color:white" method I described above. Sample template at User:Dantheox/4TeamBracketByes and a demo at User:Dantheox/Bracket Byes. Basic idea: there are two new parameters, "RD1-game1" and "RD1-game2". If they aren't specified, then it's just your four team bracket. If they're set to "white", then the corresponding game is completely whited out. Let me know what you think... "display:none" may have been a better way to do this, but "color:white" seems to work, too. How difficult would it be to integrate this into Template:16TeamBracket? -- Dantheox 05:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
The {{4RoundBracket-Byes}} template would only be used in 1979-1984, so it's not that high priority. The three round bracket with byes covered pretty much everything. I noticed that User:Jodel's brackets had a Bronze Medal Match. This would be fantastically useful for the NCAA brackets, both for the two round bracket (a national third place game was played until 1981) and the three round bracket (a regional third place game was played until ~1975). This third place game would be a great candidate for {{Qif}}-ing -- Dantheox 16:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for Template:4RoundBracket-Byes. I ran my scripts and wikified 1979-1984. With those years down, all the brackets, 1939-2006, have been completely integrated into the new template! -- Dantheox 16:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I redid the template. It's signficantly smaller than the original, and gives just as much information. Your version was an improvement, but I didn't like how it reduced the font. If you don't like it feel free to change it some more but I'd appreciate some feed back. savidan (talk) (e@) 21:09, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I just adjusted the bracket in the 1951 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament to reflect the fact that there wasn't a "real" final four that year. I combined the seperate regional brackets (8 team brackets) to make one big 16-team bracket. I used the "group1" and "group2" fields in your template to mark out the East and West regions in this bracket, but I'm not very happy with how the result looks. I'd assumed that these labels would go in the second round column, in the large gap between the first/second and third/fourth games. Any chance you could make this change? I don't know whether any other pages are using those particular fields. Thanks, -- Dantheox 23:34, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying on the copyrights tags.

I just got on here for the first time in about a month and could not believe all of the copyrights he did on here. And I just would like some advice on what to do about it, like if I should just start a new acount or something. Thank you. -- Number24165 03:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Dear Zzyzx, I saw you recently failed the article Mickey Mantle for GA status. If you have reviewed an article (regardless of decision) you should remove it from Wikipedia:Good articles/Nominations to prevent confusion.
The main problem with your review was that it wasn't very in-depth, as you only commented on the introduction, and ignored the rest of the article. After having quickly scanned the article, it seems to be okay (if you check my track record I am a hard ass when it comes to GA) and one minor blip is not enough for failure (it is however a main component of denying promotion, often alongside a wealth of grammar issues). I am reviewing this thoroughly, and shall make a decision whether to keep the article or abide your decision.
It's great that you are helping with the GA process, but you need to review the entire article and way the positives and negatives, further helpful reading may be Wikipedia:What is a good article. Thanks again, Highway 23:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

You added {{ unreferenced}} to Origin of the name California. It seems moderately references (Cortez, Song of Roland, etc.) Certainly it could be better referenced.

To be more specific, I removed {{ unreferenced}} and added {{ fact}} to areas I think needs some references.

Hi there - you removed the {{db-bio}} notice from this page (which I added), citing that this person was notable in the edit summary. I was just wondering on what grounds you made this decision: association football is a professional sport in the UK; the player concerned is an amateur and has never played for a professional club, which means he fails the basic test for notability for sportspersons in WP:BIO. Qwghlm 08:42, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Instead of just changing the tag you should consider deleting images at Category:Images on Wikimedia Commons. There are only 7425 of these left. This was the reason I used the {{db}} tag, because nothing ever seems to get done and the category just keeps getting bigger. Someone really should take care of this.

Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

Thanks Zzyzx11, for noticing that I hadn't vandalized the page. You are perceptive. I HATE vandalism, believe me. I'm a new kid on the block.Good advice though about summarizing the edits. I should have at least mentioned that I left something on the Discussion page regarding why I removed that paragraph about the CATCH II (by the way what is CATCH I???). I removed it because something kept going wrong with the formatting when I tried to give
its own heading. I simply removed the piece after much frustration and hid it on the talk page.
SO HERE'S MY QUESTION: WHY WOULDN'T IT FORMAT PROPERLY??? IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY USING THE SANDBOX??? WILL THIS FIX THE FORMATTING PROBLEMS I ENCOUNTER.
If you reverted the article back to its previous version before I edited, you of course noticed the terrible format that occurred. How did you fix the problem? I looked at the history page, and it looks like all you did was add a colon :....
