Beware when using cascading protection, as it not only protects the most immediately transcluded page (e.g., your archives), but also every other article and template, image, or other media included in it and below it (i.e., it would fully protect any template or image that occurs in any of your archives-- regardless of where it occurs) -- slakr\ talk / 23:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC) reply
Hi. I received a message on my talk page asking me if I would unprotect User talk:Lollipop-3. Of course I wasn't going to accede to such a request (banned users don't need talk pages! :)) but I noticed that in fact it's no longer protected. You probably know better than me whether protection is required or not, and I don't know if it was removed intentionally or accidentally. I'm not at all bothered, just letting you know in case it was a mistake. Thanks. -- kingboyk ( talk) 01:06, 14 January 2008 (UTC) reply
Hi! You must be kidding! Is there anything sensible about that article? Haal (and not Hahl) in Persian is the slang term for having fun. I do not see anything encyclopedic about that, neither it is worth having an article in English Wikipedia. Siba ( talk) 14:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC) reply
I agree with the semi-protection. It's getting hit a lot lately. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Could you double-check your archiving at Wikipedia talk:Requests for Adminship? I think you may have removed some newer threads in favor of older ones (particularly this edit, where it's possible you copied instead of pasted. It shouldn't be a huge deal, but wanted to mention it to you directly instead of trying to fix it and - quite probably - buggering the whole thing up. Thanks!

You worked a lot on List of Powderfinger awards. All the WP:FLs with award tables repeat table elements, specifically
I'm thinking it would be helpful for uniformity and maintenance if these were templated as {{ award-won}} and {{ award-nom}}. Has this been done before, or is there a reason not to do this? Gimmetrow 20:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Thanks for helping out with semi-protecting the Gackt page. It's been the bane of my existence lately what's been going on on that page for the past few months, so I don't feel that it's over but it certainly sends a message- thanks very much. :) ( Tsukiakari ( talk) 22:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)) reply
Hi - I noticed you have closed the Mark Offerdahl AfD. An editor had added in Rodney Davies as part of the same discussion and I just wanted to know if that means the Mark Offerdahl AfD also covers Rodney Davies or if the article needs to go to another AfD?

Hey there. You've expressed an interest in attending this via Skype. If you're still interested, could you please give some input on the project page as to date/time, and we'll see if we're still going to go ahead with that. Thanks, Dihydrogen Monoxide ( party) 07:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Isn't there anyway I can contact Lollipop-3? I don't have her email, and I can't talk to her at all. I don't plan to really do so here, thus getting her into trouble. Which I do not want. Can you please do something? ( I love entei ( talk) 08:43, 29 January 2008 (UTC)) reply
Btw I undid your edit here, because it was breaking the tagging I did before: I sometimes tag people without linking to their case (for example when the tagging occurs after an IP check). I agree the {{
SockpuppetCheckuser|Vandal|Vandal}}
syntax is a bit weird though, I don't know how to be able to have both. --

Thanks for the tip. I usually allow creation of an account because many IPs are shared by different users and blocking innocent users' ability to create accounts can cause collateral damage. Most vandals probably won't make the extra effort to create an account to continue vandalizing and if he/she does, it can be blocked too. -- Hdt83 Chat 04:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC) reply
