I'm still scratching my head. How can this be? Pascal.Tesson 02:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Health Warning.

This is a Government Health Warning: overuse of Misplaced Pages can seriously stain your sheets. Goodbye. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.77.140.114 (talk • contribs)

• Oh, that's just an over-reaction. Darn nanny-state nonsense, if you ask me. FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 23:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes indeed, just been watching Newsnight. I'm a bit disappointed that the images weren't put there by an IP address user; I was hoping to run a traceroute, to see if the BBC were in fact the culprits ;D --Leobh 22:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

• LOL! Replying on talk page :O) FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 22:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• I wonder, they could have made it look like the current page if they just scrolled down a little while in fact viewing the archived page. Can't say I noticed if that was the case, but if the programme is available on the website... Leobh 23:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Hah, given away by their own web service! He didn't even scroll down, but the screen showing a comparison of revisions was on the screen for so little time it didn't register. Rather disingenuous, no? Leobh 23:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

My RfA ...

Hi. Thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was successful and I am now an admin. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Cheers, Black Falcon 07:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Gnome Week

Re: Quick technical question, seeing as you are online...

Hi! I wouldn't recommend AN/I simply to have the histories deleted. Speedy or proposed deletion is probably more suited to such cases.

I looked in your contributions history and speedily deleted both pages as "attack pages" (CSD G10) as their sole purpose seemed to be to disparage various individuals. I've bookmarked the user contributions pages of the three accounts (123) involved and will monitor them for a while as they seem to be vandalism-only accounts. Kudos to you for catching this!

SandBox

I must say, thank you for that advice. Although I have been kindly given the name of SANDBOX, i'm afraid i have no clue as to where 'tis found. If I have the means to get there, I may just check it out. Thank you.

P.S: This is a honest question that is asked with respect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194327002cl (talk • contribs)

C'mon youself!

What better place to raise publicity for a film than Misplaced Pages! Look this country isn't exactly known for it's film industry and I for one just wan't to make it a bit more prominent. By finishing film school in Dun Laoraighe and by ranting on and on the internet about how unapreciated the film industry is here. So nay, I tell you don't give out to me for indulging in a bit of shameless (and indeed desperate) publicity, join me! and together we can rid Misplaced Pages of that asshole english guy who keeps adding British Films to the bottom of every page about every Irish film on this website. (P.S. Don't tell me you wouldn't try to pimp your stuff here if given the opportunity) - yours faithfully Teknolyze

Errr, no on the last bit. Don't have stuff to pimp, as it happens, and I wouldn't do it here if I had.

The simple answer to why you shouldn't try advertise a film that hasn't been made (or written apparently) is that (almost by definition) it won't satisfy Misplaced Pages's notability criteria, Misplaced Pages's verifiability criteria and definitely would not pass WP:CRYSTAL.

Oh, and ease up on the name calling. If someone is adding the British Film category to Irish films. revert the change and draw his attention to his error on his talk page. Just don't call him an asshole. FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 20:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page, your efforts are much appreciated. Trusilver 23:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem, you're welcome. :O) FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 23:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/James Stunt

No problem. I've watchlisted the page and will monitor the edit histories of the three SPAs. I will also leave a message on the registered account's talk page as it may constitute a violation of username policy. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers, Black Falcon 04:23, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism fix

Thanks for reverting my userpage. GDonato (talk) 16:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Can't get to a discussion page

There've been some additions to the Disclave discussion page that I really should follow up on. But now when I click on the discussion tab I'm getting . . . nothing. Argh. And since I still get confused and am going out of town far to early tomorrow morning, EST, which hour will make me even more confused for a couple of days, could you reply on my discussion page?

At some point I also need to add a couple of references but as you said, the page isn't going anywhere. Kovar 19:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• So, of course, having tried several times to access the page, not even getting a "we're busy, call back later", before writing this I can now access the page. Kovar 19:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Lame.

Listen here wise guy. We are having fun. If this partypoopering continues, I will not leave 4 squiggles but, a lesser 3. 142.167.135.175 20:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Editing 'dream' article

Sir, I would like to bring your kind notice that I am new user. I have yet to understand all technicalities of wiki. I use mobile and that puts me under limitation while editing.

It is not and it will never be my intention to delete any text on wiki.

Pickled egg

That's great...I should have took a better look at it but I came upon it as a result of Dude Eggs and kind of "jumped" on it. --Stormbay 00:29, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Dhangadhi or Dhangadi

Dhangadhi is correct although both are used. Thanks. --Eukesh 21:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

FM 104 phoneshow

may i ask why you quickly reverted my edit? you seem a little trigger happy in terms of edit reversions. As i stated, my points are valid. If you have an issue with it please politely discuss it with me rather than hastily revert my edits. Clearly it was not vandalism, so perhaps you should use an alternative description next time.

these people arent real why would i waste time makeing the pages..delete boris orlov's page...but not svetlana's becuase i do have evidence regarding her..her myspace page and personal email

hmmm

"Perhaps you should contribute to the AFD discussion. However, a MySpace profile doesn't normally count as a reliable source" - thats what you said..."normally" what would be considered a realible source

as stated before

jsut becuase you cant find info on a man doesnt mean he didnt exist..... exactly...please revoke your tag for deletion

Userpage protection

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my userpage. I go out to run an errand and come back to find it's been vandalized 5 times! I suspect this is the same AOL user who got bent out of shape for being warned in May. I notice he vandalized your talk page too, but someone reverted it. Anyway, thanks again. An administrator has semi-protected my userpage so that anonymous IP addresses can no longer edit it. -Amatulic 06:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem, glad to help. :O) I know the feeling, having my user page vandalized a dozen times by the one anon user who was changing IPs. I still don't like having my User Page semiprotected, but I know what can happen. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 19:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit war

This is starting to get out of hand. He has been reverting both my userpage and the Tulsa Channels page about a dozen times each. BTW, thanks for reverting some of the vandalism on my userpage. You know it's getting bad when there's an edit war on your own userpage, lol. --FrankCostanza 03:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Yup. :O) Replied at talk page. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 03:56, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Warrior vandalism

I'll take care of any further vandalism on Warrior (wrestler) for tonight. Savie Kumara 04:25, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: Persistent fellow, isn't he? =\ I blocked that account, too. I don't like protecting Talk pages, but since he moved there and will probably be back, I've protected it for 24 hours, too. -- Gogo Dodo 05:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
