Revision as of 04:00, 17 July 2007
I discovered this website several months ago and became addicted to it. So I figured, why not create an account in it?
July 6, 2007--Last night, I reverted some vandalism. I'm so pleased with myself.
Super deformed
I am not sure if the ? in your statement means that you don't know what super deformed means or that you have no idea why I changed the link. chibi is a term that means "runty" or "shrimpy" which was mistranslated as "cute" or "little" (our own Wiki page added the words "small beauty" to chibi in Japanese for effect) and has come to mean the same thing as super deformed to a lot of American fans because of fan-fiction or fan-art of "Chibi Goku" or whatever. The correct usage in reference to genuine Japanese media is super deformed. Chibi is accurate in cases like Sailor Moon's Chibiusa because she was being mocked for her small size, but in most cases it is used inaccurately. I thought I was correcting that link, as it seemed an incorrect usage, but if "chibi" was the actual name of the item in the game (which for some reason didn't occur to me) then I was incorrect and I apologize. Examples of Japanese usage of the term super deformed (or SD) include SD Valis, Super Deformed Gundam, SD Snatcher. JohnnyMrNinja 05:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I totally see where you were coming from on that one. I guess I'm just too used to the term by now. But thinking about it, super deformed hardly sounds like a cute way to portray people. It just sounds like they were in a horrible accident. Guess that's what we get when we use an English term made up by Japanese people: confusion. JohnnyMrNinja 06:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Userboxes
I think here you'll find everything you need to create a userbox.

I don't find it easy to explain. It's better for you to ask an administrator, i'm sure they'll be able to explain better than me. It's very easy, you'll see.

Re your message: Thanks for helping out. =) -- Gogo Dodo 05:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: Troublemaker
Re your message: Thanks again for helping out. =) Leaving me a note about editors who vandalize is probably not the best idea as by the time that I read it, it may be too late to do anything about it. I recommend that you read Misplaced Pages:Cleaning up vandalism that has all the procedures and guidelines you need to follow to warn and report vandals so that any administrator can take the necessary action. That way you don't have to wait for me to check my messages. -- Gogo Dodo 22:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Re your message: No, you're doing okay. =) There were a couple of other warnings issued to that editor by another editor who reverted his other vandalism. Generally, you will want to issue a new warning should the editor vandalize after he received the previous warning. It's to make sure that the vandal gets the chance to read the warning. It takes a bit of practice to be good at reverting vandalism and dealing with vandals, you're doing fine. =) -- Gogo Dodo 00:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Well...
Looks like the "problem" was taken care of as soon as you wrote. O well...we'll just have to find some more vandals =). Peace. Spartan-James 23:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Waking Life 24
OK, that's what I do in wikipedia. Perhaps you would like to stick him on your watch list, and come back to me in the future if anything further needs doing. --Anthony.bradbury 23:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Reply to your message...(Warrior)
No problem. Seems to be the same guy who was doing it earlier, back with a new account. FlowerpotmaN·(t)
- Re your message: No worries. =) If he comes back, it's likely that the article with get semi-protected for awhile. -- Gogo Dodo 04:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- As I suspected, he's back. No need to watch that article now. Page has been semi-protected for 24 hours. -- Gogo Dodo 04:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Re your message: There's almost always some sort of vandalism going on. Unfortunate, but true. Have you read over Misplaced Pages:Recent changes patrol? It has good information on what you can do to watch and revert vandals. You might also consider contributing to articles instead of just fighting vandalism. It's good to mix the two. =) -- Gogo Dodo 04:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Re your message: No worries. =) Sometimes I get on a roll and revert things for hours. It takes some practice and you will get better as you do it more. If you're curious, I look for vandalism the same way you do, browsing Recent Changes. I don't use any special tools beyond popups. I do have an extra button being an admin that does make rolling back things faster, but I'm still looking for things the "old school" way. Popups does help there a little, too. -- Gogo Dodo 04:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- I forgot your other part of your message... Filling out stubs is always a good thing. Can't say I've heard of Flabellifera before. Closest I get to that would be editing Deadliest Catch. -- Gogo Dodo 05:02, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
You Think That's Bad
Just noticed your comment here: , you should've been there at BasilMarket.com. Now THAT was bad! -WarthogDemon 04:36, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Er, linked to mine, sorry. -WarthogDemon 04:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Re:Vandal reported
Great to hear that. =) --ZeWrestler 21:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks
Let me get back to you in a bit...I'm writing up something - I'll keep you informed. --HappyCamper 07:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I wrote something here to deal with the problem. I generally follow my rule of thumb of doing as much as I can without resorting to using the resources on that page, but this time, I think it is reasonably justified. I am able to protect your page as well, but I think it is not warranted at the moment.
- By the way, you're one good guys here - glad you're around, and see you around the Wiki. :-) --HappyCamper 08:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, what a surprise, a barnstar! I haven't seen one on my page in ages. To say the least, it put a smile on my face - thank you, and very much appreciated! --HappyCamper 08:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Protection
Hi, I protected your user page, but talk pages aren't protected unless things get really ugly. Best wishes/ Pax:Vobiscum 09:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've semi-protected your talk page for now, with an automatic expiry date of a week. Please let me know if your problem recurs, and I can take further action if necessary. -- Karada 13:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to see that your user page and talk page got pounded. It's an unfortunate side effect of trying to fight vandalism. You sometimes get some really strange things done to your user page or get some nasty comments. I hope it doesn't turn you away from Misplaced Pages. -- Gogo Dodo 20:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for barn star (I put it on my Mantelpiece), as for Nate its very suprizing what lengths hes going to just over a user name! Take care. --Chris 03:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
