Wondering

you add Reverted edits by 165.138.97.251 (talk) to last version by Betacommand) to your edit comments is there a js script for that? Betacommand 15:42, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, go WP:JS and look for "godmode-light" its a scritp for autmating reversions. However, given I?m an administrator, I geta "rollback" button when I look at diffs, I just click on that and get the same effect. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 19:51, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

User 166.102.99.165

On 14:25, 15 February 2006 (UTC) you claimed that "You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you continue doing so." if 166.102.99.165 continued to vandalize pages, well I provided two further examples of vandalism. I have confidence this should be sufficient for a temp block. Thanks --droptone 16:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

already blocked that ip. ;) --Syrthiss 16:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Had to go take an exam, but I see it's blocked already . -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 19:52, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

My apologies

I was pranking my friend who was mentioned in a Wiki article (much to his amusement) and got caught up in the process. I didn't mean to vandalize or cause trouble to anyone. Sorry for being a goofus. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.248.128.222 (talk • contribs) . -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 19:52, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching quiz page

Hey, it's me, the guy you share with Celestianpower as an admin coach. I set up a little page at User:Snurks/coaching for Celestianpower to ask me hypothetical questions and have quizzes on so on. Since you're a coach too, I thought I'd let you know about it, in case you want to do some coaching there yourself or maybe start a new page for the same purpose.

I hope to speak to you a little more often, since you're closer to my time zone and it's probably easier to communicate with you than with Celestianpower. Thanks for coaching!

Monobook out of control!

ok I addeda working version, it's up to you now, if you mess it, revert to it. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 04:07, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

My AfD closer seems to be working. Copy mono monobook from:

//AFD Closer----------------

All the way to:

//end AfD closing script

mine is working now as well -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 05:22, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Sweet! I was able to get some of your monobook tabs to work on mine without conflict.Voice_of_All 05:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm STILL working on it, I'll let you know when I'm done. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 05:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Please Stop Deleting Userboxes Without Discussion

What is really divisive in this community is rampant deletion of userboxes, not the userboxes themselves. I don't see how suggesting apes be treated with respect is considered divisive or inflamatory--it's not as inflamatory as your anti-userbox-userbox, and it is not as divisive as single-handedly deleting userboxes. Please consider what I have to say and stop deleting them without discussions. I would also be very thankful if you undeleted the ape-equality userbox. The Ungovernable Force 06:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

If you feel so strong about it that you need to mention it on your userpage, then write it so. You can WRITE it on your page. Alternatively: you could have substed the template so it wouldnot be affected by its deletion. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 06:11, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

That's what I was doing, but several of them got deleted before they could. And I did have it on my user page, but Template:User freedom got deleted too. And

This user supports userboxes .

Consider an "I like chocolate strawberry" userbox. Having it adds no value regarding to the encyclopedia building. THere's nothign wrong with you writing such thing on your page, however, it does pollute the Template namespace when thousands of such boxes are created. That's why having it on your userpage would be fine, but not as template.

Note however that userpages should ideally follow the guidelines at WP:UP: Userpages are NOT a personal homepage, they are to be related to your wikipedia work. And also, Misplaced Pages is not a webhost provider but people could get a geocities page if all they want is to express their political affiliations and food tastes. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 07:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

And about the substing.. it's been long agreed that templates that do not NEED to be updated often (like current events, or the signpost one, whose value depends on the template showing dynamic text) should be substed, and this comes from much much before than the userbox mess. After all, if you agree with an instance of the wording of the userbox, it's because you are stating your belief in that particular sentence. If somebody else changes the text, then somebody else is putting new words "in your mouth". Substing avoids this. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 07:42, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I have another issue, namely, you are severely misapplying CSD T1. I've been reviewing the templates you speedied, and very few could be called polemical or inflammatory by a reasonable person. Rogue 9 13:43, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

You are entitled to your opinion. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 02:39, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I'd like Template:User Yes Animal Testing restored - unless it went through proper TfD. Same with Template:User EFF.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 18:19, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

agreed. Look how divisive userboxes are--an animal liberation advocate and vegetarian is supporting a Yes animal testing userbox. The claim that these are divisive is just plain wrong as far as I am concerned. The Ungovernable Force 18:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

That's because you agree with its content. But my points stil lremain. You can write in your own words that you like animals on your userpage. Don't pollute the template namespace. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 02:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Karmafist's Fair Election Request

I have a request of my fellow candidates, and of the voters -- that all candidates give a vote to every other candidate.

It may seem that this request goes against the idea that leadership and potential leadership of our group should be neutral, a precedent that has been followed since the beginning of Esperanza by JCarriker, but I beg to disagree.

For one, mathematically all votes would be cancelled out, but unlike if we stayed silent, we are showing an affirmation of our support for each other.

No, MATHEMATICALLY votes wouldn't cancel out except on very special arrangements of voting. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 03:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

To me, that's what Esperanza's about. I've had disagreements with many people in Esperanza, but i'll always support them in some form or another as long as I believe as they'll do the same for me -- as long as we're unified in a belief that kindness can cure the ills of Misplaced Pages as a whole.

Karmafist 04:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

• Wikizach supports this request
• Dakota Kahn supports this request and did this in the last election for maintaining neutrality.
• I reject this notion. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 03:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Cool Monobook

My monobook is pretty awesome right now...when my vandal revert (the one with the cool edit summary, takes my to vandals contribs and his talk page in edit mode) combines with the stuff in your script (which I modified by removing the annoying prompt, I can warn vandals with lightning speed. Less time wasted on trolls/vandals :). I also added "p" and "sp" tabs for quick protection templates.Voice_of_All 22:54, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

My userboxes!

Why did you delete my userboxes? I don't go around deleting things from your user page. I find your behavior extremely rude.--M@rēino 02:05, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

• Here you can have this one Template:User vomit --mitrebox 02:07, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Because your userboxes pollute the template namespace without providing value to the encyclopedia. However you can write the text in your own words on your userpage. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 02:40, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

• I just would have appreciated notificiation before you decided that I was "polluting" the internet. My userpage qualifies as a "what links here". I have been scouring the TFD, and I simply cannot find a record of these templates being lawfully deleted.--M@rēino 03:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages is not "the internet". "this user thinks vomiting is the right way to diet" has no encyclopedc value anyway. But if you feel strongly about it, write an essay on your userpage. You're not being censored. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 03:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

The Votes

No problem, I was wondering what you were saying there for a sec. It's not a demand or anything, it's just an idea to continue JCarriker's request of neutrality among the leadership of the group in elections, only while showing all others in the group support, which is the cornerstone of what our group is about.

Unfortunately, if we don't all do it, I don't think it's going to happen. Oh well, worth a shot. Karmafist 03:20, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes we should support us among themselves, but other than "don't vote for yourself" (which makes sense to me), I also have preferences on who I'd like to lead esperanza, and your proposal denies me that right. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 03:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Userbox Deletions

I noticed you have been deleting a large number of userboxes as T1. However, some of these have already survived a deletion review and are now up at TFD. These can not be speedied. Please undelete these.--God of War 03:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

• Agreed.--M@rēino 03:49, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

no. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 03:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
