Nah, I don't think you're really being harsh. Though it's good to keep in mind that perhaps some of them are wanting to bring the gameguidish content back from the articles, but others are probably just trying to help out the best way they can. Quite a few of them are probably little kids wanting to help conribute to Misplaced Pages, and how many of them will know what a ] is? Er, well that's how I see it at any rate. :) That's why I usually don't give them any warnings on talk pages unless a) they're putting in misinformation that they may or may not know isn't true, or b) consistently doing it more than 5 times. I suppose the bottom line is, give them a little extra slack. As long as you're not warning them on their talk pages right off the bat, you're doing fine. :) -] 00:39, 26 August 2007 (UTC) Nah, I don't think you're really being harsh.

What In The Sacred Name Of Arceus Is Going On?

To be honest I've been observing the whole edit warring that's gone on ever since last Thursday. This is just insane. What's going on anyway? As far as I can tell it has something to do with images and dates? -WarthogDemon 23:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I got carried away. He's just here to cause trouble/disrupt things. If he believes something is his way, he will just keep reverting it. SpigotMap 00:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm mostly talking out of bewilderment here. If what I asked sounded like a scolding with a fingerwagging, I didn't mean it as such and I would be lying if I said I haven't accidentally done 3RR myself. Though I did decide to reword your comment, as pointing out Crystalflame the way you did is probably close to a personal attack (even if you didn't mean it as such). You might want to handle things a bit more carefully in the future but I think you've handled yourself better this time around. Cheers and happy editing. :) -WarthogDemon 00:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

ummmmmmmm

Its just the Central African Republics Independence day, cant I wish it a happy birthday? It is such a crime? --LutonAirport 09:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


jeez take a chill pill , I am just wishing a country a happy birthday. Hey and Im a white guy! Are you proud to be white? --LutonAirport 09:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging

Referring to Image:Nicole-richie-elle-magazine-03.jpg false csd deletion notice, please see speedy deletion criteria again. Best, feydey 10:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for helping out on my talk page. I have now blocked the newly-registered user, regrettably. Regards, Ground Zero | t 15:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Would you like your user page and talk page protected? Ground Zero | t 16:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Here we go...

We have a lunatic on our hands. It's at times like these that you wish you had admin powers... =P TheIslander 16:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Do you happen to see an improvement in the quality of the article? Well, anyways, I'm off. Gonna go on a scheduled Wikibreak that will last for a day or two. Good luck to you, SpigotMap, and happy editing. LOZ: OOT 20:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Er . . .

I don't meant to sound like a bully or anything, but referring to this edit, it's not a good idea to shove beans up one's nose. Not really a warning, but just a tip. :) -WarthogDemon 22:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Regards on Habbo article

Vandalism is defined as an attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages.

My edit was to inform people interested in Habbo Hotel that Habbo is not as safe as it seems, not a bad-faith effort to destroy Misplaced Pages. Please consider refraining from warning people of permanently banning them by looking at the details first.

Brock University Students' Union

Generally I find students unions to be notable. However, I don't think we need to know how much the campus pub charges for a drink, or who the last President of the organization was. Just remind them that they need to cite sources. Thanks for the help! GreenJoe 04:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Kwantlen Student Association

If you have 5 seconds, I need someone to give Kwantlen Student Association a look over for facts and POV. Also some back up on the talk page would be great. Thanks. GreenJoe 04:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:University of Alberta Students' Union

At Talk:University of Alberta Students' Union, we're discussing why the Presidents don't merit inclusion. GreenJoe 04:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

Turks and Russians are nice friend countries of each other. You, being a side in the Cyprus dispute, are not regarded nice in this friendship. Never forget: Your frindship to Greek Cypriots make you gain a market of only 600 000 whereas make you lose a market of 75 million Turkey!! You are expected to behave logically. Think that in 2007 in Antalya, Turkey there was opened a Russian School!! Never destroy the friendship!, you - Russians-, loses otherwise GreekHonorous 08:40, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your warnings. So, if you are an admin of Misplaced Pages you can really protect the indicated pages. Thank you GreekHonorous 08:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Moonlight flit

Greetings. I thought that is was a little strange that you tagged this article with a db-repost tag, considering that when it was deleted before, it was at the author's own request and not because of an AfD or a more forceful speedy deletion criterion. I've retagged it with the more appropriate db-band tag. --Finngall 09:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Supportissues783

Well now. That'll teach you not to be so patient and kind to people!;-) Your friend has been duly blocked for her charming outburst and vandalism. Cheers, Sarah 10:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

An Apology

Hi. I am very sorry for the issue with the Wallis and Futuna Islands thing. Basically I have a fantasy football team, and in this competition you may choose which country you are from, and the winner from each country gets through to a final showdown in the final week. Therefore - pretending that I am from Wallis and Futuna Islands gives me the highest chance of winning. I was having a joke with my friend, who I was trying to convince I am from there, and making up a national anthem in the style of Borat, i just thought was funny. Apologies Again.

sock puppetry my EYE

i prefer the term "multi account vandal mania" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Day Wrecker Core Ha (talkcontribs) 08:33, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

August 2007

Please refrain from making test edits in Misplaced Pages articles, such as those you made to List of Pokémon (201-220), even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. don't do that anymore, lulz SpigotMap 22:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Smile!

WarthogDemon has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

And out of curiosity, why did you place a warning to yourself? -WarthogDemon 00:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
User:24.76.181.253 was actually giving misleading information, not trivia. They don't make the cards for Pokemon before the Pokemon appear in the games/anime. :) And even if they did, such a thing could be fixed. -WarthogDemon 01:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

My Trivia Section

How come you erased my Trivia section in the Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea article. I mean, I saw what you said about it, but you could have edited it to, "this seems like a blatant reference..." instead of deleting the whole thing from existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Armageddon1994 (talkcontribs) 04:59, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Michelle (Futurama)

Hi, saw your edit to List of recurring human characters from Futurama regarding Michelle not needing her own page. Thought I'd let you know I fully agree with that assessment and that I'd make you aware that the page has already been created at Michelle (Futurama). I'm going to try redirecting it but since I don't expect that to really work I thought I'd get somebody else to keep an eye on it... Stardust8212 17:34, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Pokèmon List Reverts

Nah, I don't think you're really being harsh. Though it's good to keep in mind that perhaps some of them are wanting to bring the gameguidish content back from the articles, but others are probably just trying to help out the best way they can. Quite a few of them are probably little kids wanting to help conribute to Misplaced Pages, and how many of them will know what a zorki is? Er, well that's how I see it at any rate. :) That's why I usually don't give them any warnings on talk pages unless a) they're putting in misinformation that they may or may not know isn't true, or b) consistently doing it more than 5 times. I suppose the bottom line is, give them a little extra slack.
