Thanks for the quick reverting -- you're very fast on the draw! bikeable (talk) 06:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I saw you warned TurboBoom on his talk page earlier about the 3RR and his reverts of a section on the Xbox 360 page. I believe he made another account " GorbaLor" and is using it to get around the 3rr, on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. If you look at the history on both pages GorbaLor (new user) just simply reverts to what TurboBoom had. On the Xbox 360 page it was blatant vandalism where he was blanking a section and when asked to move it to where he believes it to go he blanks it and says "you move it". Now it's been blanked again without any comment on the discussion page section I made for commenting on the issue, and I don't think i'm allowed to add it back due to 3rr.
I'm kinda new here and really don't know how to deal with stuff like this so i'm posting a not here since I saw you looked at him. If I need to post to someone else or somewhere else please let me know :) Thanks SeraphimXI 07:35, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to ask your opinion about something. 81.240.202.11 and Special:Contributions/NWill (the same user, I'm sure) has been making some useful additions to List of Academy Award winning movies, but this user has also added an non-free image removed to many pages in a format that doesn't seem to be useful to pages such as Pulp Fiction, Kramer vs. Kramer, and L.A. Confidential. The image is set at the top of the page, is left-aligned, and is not explained, but beside that, there are categories to describe things like that. I left a note on his talk page, and he has since stopped adding the images, but he also hasn't responded, so I'm asking you for your opinion on the matter. Thanks, JHMM13 ( T | C) 20:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Yup...very good idea. I'm not going to put the notice on the page though - I'm going to be patient and stick around for the next 15 minutes and remove it. -- HappyCamper 03:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello I have cleaned up the page and after asking the original deletion notifier about my changes he viewed it and removed his deletion request and suggested a move. I am hoping to move the page to "Oceanic Airlines flight 815" as I think it is for the best yet I am a new member so I can not do so. Do you think you could take another look at "Oceanic flight 815" and see if you think I have improved the article enough for it to stay. User:Jezabelda
Hello, your doing some quality patrolling there, I apologize for distracting you with this message; but your User page is ... um, aethetically challeged. :"D If you'd like I can try to rearrange it for you. Less important, but a personal project of mine is to keep Wikipedia 800x600 compliant, your menu is too wide for my ol' monitor. Anyway, keep up the great work! - Roy Boy 800 06:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I note your comments and (ever one to learn from my mistakes) have added the "force edit summary" js to my monobook.js, to stop me forgetting in future. Thanks for the heads-up. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/ [C] RfA! 13:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Wow, in almost three years, RC patrol and 10,000 edits, this is my first ever barnstar. That's one item I can strike from my set of Wikipedia stories. Thanks! -- Fuzheado | Talk 06:20, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for voting! | |
Thanks for voting on my Meta RfA; I'm happy to annouce I was promoted!. I look forward to being able to do more good work for Meta, and if there is anything I can do for you, let me know.
Again, thanks! Essjay Talk • Contact 20:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC) |
Thank you for the information. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and although I did realize I was only supposed to post on users' talk pages, it seems I have confused the two in a few instances. I will make the appropriate changes and also "subst: the templates."
Thanks again,

Why do you keep reverting Wikipedia:Introduction? RexNL 01:10, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
well, you may notice that the main cvu irc channel is now being locked (there were good reasons for that) and I'd like to talk with you and about the possibility locking the 2nd channel as well, or you may also talk with essjay -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 07:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
It's me 71.57.53.128, hey its my first time, edititing and I didnt kno you could actually do it. So dont block me you explitive removed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.53.128 ( talk • contribs)
My removal of the fan sites from that page was intentional, as having a list of fan sites goes against the guidelines in WP:NOT and WP:EL. You may want to make a habit of having a look at the page history for an article before reverting an edit, so that you can see the reason why an edit was made before assuming that it was a mistake. I'll go ahead and re-make my edit. If there is some reason why the Halo: Combat Evolved article should go against Wikipedia guidelines and try to duplicate the effort that sites such as Dmoz and Yahoo already do so well, please discuss it with me in Talk:Halo: Combat Evolved. - Brian Kendig 15:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I notice that in your userboxes, the heading above your programming userboxes is misspelled ("progamming"). Since you specifically requested that people not mess with your userboxes, I thought I'd post here to let you know in case you wanted to fix it.
Have a good day, - Viridian 00:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
That's some good short note for the linkage and accidentally flipping the entries, I wish I'd known of em before. Prior to this I had typed out long-winded stuff like "accidentally put the wiki link in the description and vice versa and had to fix it to direct properly." Talk about inefficient. Tyciol 05:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
As Drini was writing some stuff up on pgkbot and computer2 looks like he was experimenting and kicked pgkbot from the channel, even though it wasn't accepting commands in any other so it got a bit stuffed up by the looks...
Just for info if the bot gets stuck and status is saying it hasn't seen an event in quite a long time the command to use is pgkbot reader reset (as op) which causes it to disconnect and reconnect to the wikimedia RC feed. -- pgk( talk) 17:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Forgot to add channel swapping should work, so you can easily just swap the two channels around with
pgkbot dest swap #wikipedia-en-vandalism #wikipedia-en-vandalism2

Hi, Something went astray with my revert on the Hip Forums page. Please be assured I wouldn't make such nonsense changes, and I spend most of my time reverting vandals. It's pretty embarrassing that my name is attached to that edit. It may have been a bug in the mediawiki software, as I'm positive I was reverting to remove the vandalism. So please don't think I'm some idiot :)! Thanks -- Jgritz 04:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the warm welcome, but it's not really necessary - I've been hanging out around here for over a year. I guess I'm just now starting to register on peoples' radar. As should be expected - apart from the handful of translations, all I've done is corrections. Hell, I even have the WikiGnome userbox. So let's get to it. Wareq
I got a message on 202.68.145.230, asking me to refrain from Vandalism. I normally use this id of mine Cygnus_hansa (appearing for Magicalsaumy) for wikipedia, but sometimes I do tend to forget to log in. But whatever be the case, I have never been involved in Vandalism or deletion. I am rather confused how could you get the impressionn that the id given above is doing vandalism.
Again, note that our hostel uses our institute's or hostel's proxy servers, so it could be possible that one of my fellow hostelite is doing such vandalism. Cygnus_hansa 07:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Hiya xaosflux. You tagged this article for speedy deletion a few hours back. Just to keep you informed, I did a bit of research and found it's a real place, so shouldn't be deleted as long as it was expanded. I've added a bit of info to get it up to a stub, and will add some more later. Keep up the good work though ;) Proto t c 10:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
