Hey there -- you unprotected Saab Lofton recently. Any chance you could reprotect it? this was the very next edit :P It's still a tendentious subject, which I'm trying to resolve, but in the meantime the article has been the target of a variety of hate-speech IPs (which the subject of the article is rather upset about). Thanks, -- phoebe / ( talk to me) 03:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I see you are a fellow HAU and I'm wondering if you can help me with a coding issue. I've been trying to figure it out for like fifteen minutes and it's driving me batty. I'm designing a newsletter for a WikiProject I belong to, you can see it here: User:L'Aquatique/Sandbox. Now, as you can see, the template syntax for the "ad" is outside of the |} that is supposed to close out the engulfing blueness of doom. But it keeps rendering so that the ad is inside! I actually like the way it looks, but I know if I leave it like this some 200 people are going to be pissed off at me because the rest of their talk page will be blue. Please help me!

Hello Calvin. I believe you incorrectly reverted [<THE URL OF THE DIFF I REVERTED> this edit]. <OPTIONAL REASON>. 24.125.223.62 ( talk) 20:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC) He was clearly a colored person, why did you revert the proper use of the word 'nigger'?
Isn't it better than 'photographer'? Perhaps you're only spreading hate by bashing on "niggers".
How immature.
Obviously I was right... you're simply spreading hate.
Just don't revert my edit this time, I have little time for a child's emotions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.223.62 ( talk) 21:04, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for correcting the csd removal :). Ironho lds 23:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Calvin, you have been incredibly active in regards to this great program just wondering whether i can ask you does Huggle recognise past warnings that have been removed by the user? Say you add a level 1 warning at 12:00 and then the user deletes this, if you issue another one 1 minute later will it go back to the level 1 or do what i hope it does and go straight to level 2? Thanks Monster Under Your Bed ( talk) 11:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Calvin - my apologies for disturbing you again, but I thought you might be interested in this. It's a merger proposal from Smith Jones for Section 8 to be merged into the LEP article. IceUnshattered ( talk) 21:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible) system - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey Calvin, thanks for working over at the help desk. I noticed that you directed someone looking for legal advice over to the Ref Desk. I'm sure you saw the answer that the next person gave, but I wanted to remind you just for future reference that we actually can't give legal advice, per our legal disclaimer. I've actually seen questions like that one fairly often, though I can't imagine for the life of me how people get to our help desk for that purpose, or why they ask us. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Just a question, I notice that you are rather active on that page. How do you test IP's to see if they're open proxies? I have no idea how to do it myself :). Steve Crossin (contact) 22:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the approval on the test.wiki. Leonard (Bloom) 03:38, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello Calvin- First, sorry to victimize you out of the blue with my questions; from your post at Wikipedia:Help_desk#How_do_I_include_the_edit_box.3F, I get the impression you might be able to either answer them or advise me regarding the best place to pose them (e.g. MediaWiki_talk:Edittools, Wikipedia:Help_desk).
These questions come out of a quest I began to find out if I can create a shortcut for inserting the {{ SharedIP}} tags onto anonymous talk pages. If there's a better approach overall, I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance for your help. - Eric talk 17:09, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
