Again, welcome!  Peripitus 08:27, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I've moved your article text from Thargola's sword to Nightfall (Asimov) and redirected the article. Although the text is good it could never be long enough for a complete article. Happy editing Peripitus 08:27, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm suprised it was that quick. I was considering placing that on the novel's page, but didn't know if it would go over. Thanks for deciding that. --Tuvok 08:57, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Userbox Policy

I asked in WP:MUPP about the new policy of userboxes. Please reply here about how existing boxes will be converted to the new policy. --Tuvok 04:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

If the proposal is accepted, existing userboxes will be moved to the new Userbox: space – for example, Template:User foo will be moved to Userbox:Foo. Userpages that include the existing userboxes as templates will then need to be edited to point the template links to the new location – for example, {{user foo}} will be changed to {{userbox:foo}}. Both these tasks could easily be carried out by a bot – Gurch 15:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I hope a bot does it, but editing would be simple using a text editor, as well. --Tuvok 05:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Supposed Vandalism to Israel

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to ], are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. --Maxasus 15:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

What vandalism? I removed an offensive image from the page. This is vandalism?! --Tuvok 23:48, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• there was a problem with the program i am using to detect vandalism, it has been fixed, sorry for any inconvienience caused. --Maxasus 12:33, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

This user has been blocked for 24 hours for disruption. I'd ignore their previous edits for now. -- Longhair\ 14:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, that's good to know, both of you. --Tuvok 20:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Their block has been extended to indefinite. - Longhair\ 23:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

More disruption? --Tuvok 04:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

You could say that. See my post and related replies at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive138#User:Maxasus -- Longhair\ 04:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's nice to know that I wasn't really vandalizing Misplaced Pages, and that Maxasus won't be bothering anybody anymore. --Tuvok 04:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I thought I'd keep you in the loop. As you were one of his targets, I thought you'd appreciate the happy ending :) Sorry for the talk page intrusions over a non-event. I'm merely cleaning up the mess left behind and making sure all is well again. -- Longhair\ 04:48, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks! --Tuvok 04:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup Taskforce

I have added the article Front side bus about computer hardware to your desk. (I'm not sure the title shouldn't be changed.) Please look at it and accept, reject or let me know and I'll reassign it. Thank you. RJFJR 16:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
