It appears an admin deleted your secret pages. NERDYSCIENCEDUDE ( ✉ message • changes) 19:13, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
User:Hi878/Secret Page List, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion.

Hi. I helped you at your Secret page MFD. I said "Strong keep them all per Wikipedia:Why do you care?." and then I put more stuff about how your contributions are good for Wikipedia:Why do you care?. Hopefully that helps the pages not be deleted. I just wanted to let you know that I voted in case there is some boom of people saying "keep" and you are wondering why (although I doubt that my comment would help that much). -- Ha dg er 20:50, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

So you're promoting the far-right smear campaign that alleges that Malmö is the reincarnation of Nazi Germany? -- 83.249.68.220 ( talk) 00:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
I am not involved in these edits at all, but anyways, I'm sure that Hi878 thinks what they are doing to people in Malmö is wrong (in fact, I think it is, too). People editing an article about something that is wrong doesn't mean they support it. For example, articles on wars may be written by someone who experienced it and doesn't like it; they don't support it. I am sorry that you do not like that people are posting sections about that; I completely understand that, and I'm sure Hi878 does, too. -- Ha dg er 03:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I, Hadger ( talk), have the honor of presenting you the Wet Trout Award for the fact that you know I am a talk page stalker. Because of that, I am whacking you with this trout so you can forget! That way, you won't hit me with a trout if you catch that I am not stalking your page, and you won't know that I stalk your talk page (hopefully this trout makes you forget what a talk page stalker is...). I will now whack you with the wet trout! *Whack* There! Now you don't know I am a talk page stalker.... I mean.... This is a fish I am holding... *Whack again* Hi...

“The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.” — Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless (1992)
Sorry, but I have not read your note about leaving that nomination on both places. I think it was better to move it to the Special nominations section. The motto has been showed on April 17, so we can not replace it. And, it is also scheduled for May 25. I think that the motto for the 25th of May must be replaced. I think we have two alternatives:
I will not oppose the second option, but I would prefer to replace the motto with a new one. So, I searched the web for quotes by Douglas Adams and, in addition to the above quote that fits this situation perfectly, I found one that might be right for trying to replace the motto approved for May 25:
→ I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
An alternative for WP:? could be: WP:START. If you like this idea, the wlinks I used, and the quote, please post it in the Special nomination section. Cheers. – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 09:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Done ~ I added both quotes (
1 and
2) to the
Special nominations section (
plus a note) and left a message inviting some MOTD contributors to express their opinion there. I believe that we can reach a solution over the next few days on this issue. Cheers –

It is not necessary to create a page
for linking to an image ... anyway I personally do not like the idea of equating a temporary technical problem with something that it is impossible to repair. Also, it is not a great idea to link to an image, but sometimes it could be funny. –

Now it's perfect! And, the last link is so much better than the image. For the moment, there is no need for me to make a new comment in that section, because I already expressed my opinion in support for that version ( edit 3, which has good change to be approved for the Towel Day.) Now, I have got to go to approve some mottos from the "normal" nominations section, because there is not a "BEEP" motto approved for tomorrow /o\!!! – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 07:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I've approved the motto for Towel Day ( MOTD/May 25, 2010) and, of course, replaced the old quotes with the new one. Cheers – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 10:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi there! I´m glad you found my secret pages (3 & 4), which by the way do not violate the guidelines, since they´re all inside a page whose existence is ok (I mean that I didn´t created a whole page or subsection of mine just to have a secret page (which is discouraged)). Anyway, I do have a class-5, and to your other question, well, I´ll tell you what I think of yours when I find them. Sorry for the delay, I have been busy, and I just came out of a wikibreak.

Please do note that I am not advocating deletion here, nor was I in the case of White Shadow's cabal page. However, I thought you would benefit from being aware of my concerns and the resultant discussions that occured from them.

I'm using Huggle, which is semi-automated and will place a warning on the vandal's talk page when I press a button. It will look at what other warnings have been placed on that day and then add the appropriate level. I guess since the vandal had not been warned yet today, Huggle just went with level 1. I don't know if it's the same person that was warned three days ago, so I couldn't necessarily say that I would have blocked if I were doing it manually. (Because of the report on AIV, Huggle offered me the chance to block, and I just went with it.) Anyway, it's only a short block so it's no big deal. ... discospinster talk 02:06, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. – xeno talk 16:48, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. I was checking recent changes done to user pages by IP editors and noticed this userpage. It's pretty innocuous, but it looked a bit like one of those gaming pool pages, so I checked out the user contributions and saw that there seem to be a series of IPs who are the main "contributors" to that page and to the userpages for User:LemonZebras and User:MelonaWarren. What do you make of those? I was going to hit User:MelonaWarren as being a promotional page, but check out all the weird wikilinks. There have been hundreds of edits by various IPs and it seems clear that the three registered users are in fact sockpuppets, but I can't fathom what the point is. Can you make any sense of this? There's a lot of nonconstructive stuff going on, but it's such a mess I can't tell whether it's vandalism or self-promotion. :-) Matt Deres ( talk) 03:33, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'm using the random MOTD generator you made and I got a motto set to be used on July 8th, two days from now.(It was July 6th) I don't think that we should be able to see future mottos though we can if we view the schedule. Is this intentional? Derild 49 21 ☼ 17:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

about that abomination I released on the reference desk. I was trying to edit with my phone browser and welp let's just say it didn't go as planned. This browser sux big-time and can't edit large text fields.

Hi there HI (pardon the redundancy :), VASCO from Portugal here,
Please note that in no way will the following be a justification of my actions, merely shedding some light on why i do what i do, at Wikipedia:
about this message you sent to my standard IP (please see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:217.129.65.5#WP:BATTLE), i'll say that yes, my summaries are sometimes very exaggerated, and hysterical. However, how many times have i crossed the line, threatening - legally or otherwise - well-intended users and/or insulting them? NEVER! Unless you consider that saying "this article is in very poor display" (OK sometimes i use the word "horrible", and i should not) or urging people to stop using bar-like conversations whilst writing in an encyclopedia is a personal attack (consulting my last edits as anon, i could not see anything else that was more over-the-top than those two types, and you sent the message to my anon IP). If it is, i sincerely apologize for my behaviour, although i beg to differ. I will also try to significantly improve on my summaries from now on, honestly. Ah, and i have been already severed insulted myself at the site ("cu*t", "f*ck off").
On a related note, about the insults: yes i have insulted in my four years as an editor. Who? The vandals and lowlifes who have nothing better to do than come here and ruin other people's work, then take offense if we protect pages/block. Don't worry, not provoking you, just being fair and square with you, adding that user/admin Nuclear Warfare is well aware of my behaviour, and he has not ever issued one single warning.
Yes i know that it is wrong, yes i know it is against site policy, but i just lose it with vandalism, i can't help it really (every time i make such a summary, i have the intention of it being my last)...
Sorry for any incovenience(s), keep up the good work - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 20:51, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
...for catching the vandalism on my talk page :) HistoryStudent113 (talk to me) 21:55, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
1st, I apologize. I haven't looked at the edit history, yet, but i will, next. No vandalism is ever intended in my editing. When i edit, i sometimes inadvertantly delete something: in Evelyn Waugh, almost 25 kbytes. I would have reverted my own edit, but another editor beat me to it. I'm assuming that's what happened this time, also. I corrected a run-on sentence, not more than 10 bytes of text, but i know an experienced editor would not have thought that vandalism.
It seems that at certain times of the day, i will have to refrain from editing. I'll just make notes.
When i hit save after previewing, everything looked fine. The "save" never went thru, and i immediately got your message. Once again, so sorry, will try not to inconvenience you again. Ragityman ( talk) 23:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi! You told me on IRC that there was a problem with your custom welcome template for WelcomerBot. I'm sorry I wasn't there to talk to you directly, and since you're offline now, I'll answer here. The template definitely has worked in the past, I even used it myself once or twice to make sure it was working ( see here). However, I did recently change the way the database stores the welcome templates. It is possible that, in this transition, your custom settings got lost. Could you try changing your template to one of the other ones, and saving your settings, and then changing it back to yours and saving again? Then, the next time you close a request, let me know in whichever way you prefer (here, my talk page, IRC, email), and if the problem occurred again I'll look into it further. Thanks. - EdoDodo talk 14:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Nevermind, it looks like this affecting all custom signatures. Looking into it further, but unfortunately I don't have database access, so I'll have to wait for stwalkerster to investigate. I believe he is currently away but will be back some time next week. - EdoDodo talk 16:31, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Aha! I've managed to find what was wrong, and it is fixed. However, it won't be going live until someone else makes it live. Unfortunately nobody can at the moment, I'll keep you updated. - EdoDodo talk 19:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I am not involved in these edits at all, but anyways, I'm sure that Hi878 thinks what they are doing to people in Malmö is wrong (in fact, I think it is, too). People editing an article about something that is wrong doesn't mean they support it. For example, articles on wars may be written by someone who experienced it and doesn't like it; they don't support it. I am sorry that you do not like that people are posting sections about that; I completely understand that, and I'm sure Hi878 does, too. -- Ha dg er 03:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

“The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.” — Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless (1992)
Sorry, but I have not read your note about leaving that nomination on both places. I think it was better to move it to the Special nominations section. The motto has been showed on April 17, so we can not replace it. And, it is also scheduled for May 25. I think that the motto for the 25th of May must be replaced. I think we have two alternatives:
I will not oppose the second option, but I would prefer to replace the motto with a new one. So, I searched the web for quotes by Douglas Adams and, in addition to the above quote that fits this situation perfectly, I found one that might be right for trying to replace the motto approved for May 25:
→ I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
An alternative for WP:? could be: WP:START. If you like this idea, the wlinks I used, and the quote, please post it in the Special nomination section. Cheers. – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 09:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Done ~ I added both quotes (

I'm using Huggle, which is semi-automated and will place a warning on the vandal's talk page when I press a button. It will look at what other warnings have been placed on that day and then add the appropriate level. I guess since the vandal had not been warned yet today, Huggle just went with level 1. I don't know if it's the same person that was warned three days ago, so I couldn't necessarily say that I would have blocked if I were doing it manually. (Because of the report on AIV, Huggle offered me the chance to block, and I just went with it.) Anyway, it's only a short block so it's no big deal. ... discospinster talk 02:06, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. – xeno talk 16:48, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

Hi there. I was checking recent changes done to user pages by IP editors and noticed this userpage. It's pretty innocuous, but it looked a bit like one of those gaming pool pages, so I checked out the user contributions and saw that there seem to be a series of IPs who are the main "contributors" to that page and to the userpages for User:LemonZebras and User:MelonaWarren. What do you make of those? I was going to hit User:MelonaWarren as being a promotional page, but check out all the weird wikilinks. There have been hundreds of edits by various IPs and it seems clear that the three registered users are in fact sockpuppets, but I can't fathom what the point is. Can you make any sense of this? There's a lot of nonconstructive stuff going on, but it's such a mess I can't tell whether it's vandalism or self-promotion. :-) Matt Deres ( talk) 03:33, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi there HI (pardon the redundancy :), VASCO from Portugal here,
Please note that in no way will the following be a justification of my actions, merely shedding some light on why i do what i do, at Wikipedia:
about this message you sent to my standard IP (please see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:217.129.65.5#WP:BATTLE), i'll say that yes, my summaries are sometimes very exaggerated, and hysterical. However, how many times have i crossed the line, threatening - legally or otherwise - well-intended users and/or insulting them? NEVER! Unless you consider that saying "this article is in very poor display" (OK sometimes i use the word "horrible", and i should not) or urging people to stop using bar-like conversations whilst writing in an encyclopedia is a personal attack (consulting my last edits as anon, i could not see anything else that was more over-the-top than those two types, and you sent the message to my anon IP). If it is, i sincerely apologize for my behaviour, although i beg to differ. I will also try to significantly improve on my summaries from now on, honestly. Ah, and i have been already severed insulted myself at the site ("cu*t", "f*ck off").
On a related note, about the insults: yes i have insulted in my four years as an editor. Who? The vandals and lowlifes who have nothing better to do than come here and ruin other people's work, then take offense if we protect pages/block. Don't worry, not provoking you, just being fair and square with you, adding that user/admin Nuclear Warfare is well aware of my behaviour, and he has not ever issued one single warning.
Yes i know that it is wrong, yes i know it is against site policy, but i just lose it with vandalism, i can't help it really (every time i make such a summary, i have the intention of it being my last)...
Sorry for any incovenience(s), keep up the good work - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 20:51, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
...for catching the vandalism on my talk page :) HistoryStudent113 (talk to me) 21:55, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
1st, I apologize. I haven't looked at the edit history, yet, but i will, next. No vandalism is ever intended in my editing. When i edit, i sometimes inadvertantly delete something: in Evelyn Waugh, almost 25 kbytes. I would have reverted my own edit, but another editor beat me to it. I'm assuming that's what happened this time, also. I corrected a run-on sentence, not more than 10 bytes of text, but i know an experienced editor would not have thought that vandalism.
It seems that at certain times of the day, i will have to refrain from editing. I'll just make notes.
When i hit save after previewing, everything looked fine. The "save" never went thru, and i immediately got your message. Once again, so sorry, will try not to inconvenience you again. Ragityman ( talk) 23:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi! You told me on IRC that there was a problem with your custom welcome template for WelcomerBot. I'm sorry I wasn't there to talk to you directly, and since you're offline now, I'll answer here. The template definitely has worked in the past, I even used it myself once or twice to make sure it was working ( see here). However, I did recently change the way the database stores the welcome templates. It is possible that, in this transition, your custom settings got lost. Could you try changing your template to one of the other ones, and saving your settings, and then changing it back to yours and saving again? Then, the next time you close a request, let me know in whichever way you prefer (here, my talk page, IRC, email), and if the problem occurred again I'll look into it further. Thanks. - EdoDodo talk 14:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Nevermind, it looks like this affecting all custom signatures. Looking into it further, but unfortunately I don't have database access, so I'll have to wait for stwalkerster to investigate. I believe he is currently away but will be back some time next week. - EdoDodo talk 16:31, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Aha! I've managed to find what was wrong, and it is fixed. However, it won't be going live until someone else makes it live. Unfortunately nobody can at the moment, I'll keep you updated. - EdoDodo talk 19:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
