Misplaced Pages:Template standardisation

Congratulations on your victory at Misplaced Pages:Template standardisation! Your submission was universally well received and easily won with 42 votes (second place, "Tick ToC", had 17). A great design, I have opened the floor for any final comments before it is implemented in a few days. Hopefully you will be able to take a look at the WP:TS page for a couple of days to see if there are any suggestions you think might be positive changes/additions – I can't think of any and you have the biggest say in what happens. violet/riga (t) 22:53, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Violet! I spent many hours painstakingly going over every possible shade and wording, so I'm very pleased that my work was well received. Imagine how distraught I would have been had Tick Toc won! Over the next few days I will closely monitor the template standardisation page, but I'm fairly sure that most issues have probably already been settled in the run up to this event. – Clockwork Soul 23:00, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Jimbo's Page

Hi ClockworkSoul. I supported the conversion of Jimbo's page on the WP:TS page, and I support it here. I say go ahead and convert it. It looks nice and clean, and I think he'll be happy with it. If not, he can always revert it. --Zeerus (E T C WFD) 16:47, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

New award

Hi ClockworkSoul, I've awarded you something. Check your Barnstarium for it. 8) Talrias (t | e | c) 18:34, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I've thought about it. I've been making stuff for a while now (I made the IUP stub, and maybe a few others). I'll go ahead and register. 67.103.122.2 aka DoomBringer 03:32, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Vote on WP:TS

Seeing as there seems to be some contention about it, I've gone through and tallied all the votes properly (using the correct method of calculating approval voting). It's at Misplaced Pages talk:Template_standardisation#Results. Talrias (t | e | c) 14:11, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Good work!

Hi - nothing specific, but you do good work in general, so I wanted to thank you for it. -- BDAbramson 22:27, 2005 May 3 (UTC)

Problem

Hey. I notice this posting: User_talk:Phil_Boswell#Mirror_Image. Can the user who posted that can be blocked for it, and if so, please do. This posting was uncalled for and the poster, User:Spastika, has been warned about his username and his major POV pushing. Thanks. Zscout370 (talk) 22:51, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Hey. Can the user who posted the above message and his mentor User:Jayjg be blocked for tag team POV pushing, and if so, please do. This editor is a POV pusher and the editor, User:ZScout370, has been warned about his major POV pushing and attitude problems. Thanks. --Tagteam213 22:54, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Imposter

It has been brought to my attention that there is a person who is impersonating you: User:ClockworkSouI. This user has not been blocked, yet. Zscout370 (talk) 15:09, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

I have blocked ClockworkSoui indefinitely. – Quadell 15:28, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

I just noticed on RC another user: User:CIockworkSouI. This time, the "I" is on the second and last letters. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:44, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

How long before we get Cl0ckw0rkS0ul and C10ckw0rkS0u1? -- WCFrancis 17:25, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

No idea, but we need to watch out for the various variations. Zscout370 (talk) 17:50, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Can't be too long. I seem to be oddly popular recently for some reason. – Clockwork Soul 18:18, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

It seems our "L" to "I" imposter is at it again. I just saw on RC User:OIiver Chettle who is impersonating legitimate user User:Oliver Chettle. The "I" is on the second letter. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 20:49, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
- I saw you block him right after I saved my last message to you. If he keeps up, he might need to be put on the long term alerts on WP:VIP. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 20:52, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
  - You really have the guts to put me on lon-term alerts? Really... How sad. JMBell° 21:18, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
    - Note: This user is impersonating legit user JMBell. A vandal has also done to the same thing to legit user Chanting Fox (the vandal's name was ChantingFox.

Our imposter is back. He created another impersonation of JMBell. --Chanting Fox 21:32, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, well, that's not very nice. At least I know how to get up when I fall down. And that wsa a pretty good lookout, dont' you think? Very fast relay. JM Bell ° 21:34, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

The above note was writen by User:JMBelI, the new imposter of JMBell.

Thank You!

Hello ClockworkSoul! Thank you for welcoming me! It seems that I'm a new user, but this is not the case, because I'm editing in the German wikipedia since about a year. Now I'm trying to connect some articles with the "interwiki"-link. It's a nice thing recognicing that all over the world there are working a lot of people together on the same idea! Greetings from Germany, --Mounir 21:13, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but it appears that Vandalfox's name is accurate...

Just checked one of the images he just uploaded. It's a picture of the male genitals. I don't even want look at the others. --Chanting Fox 21:20, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

I think you can place the images for speedy deletion, and man, I hope all of this mess ends quickly and painlessly. Zscout370 (talk) 21:36, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

I deleted them 15 minutes ago, entirely withour prejudice. – Clockwork Soul 21:38, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Impersonation

You seem to be blocking a lot of impersonators lately. Any tips on tracking them down? Mgm| 22:00, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

About your star pictures

Hi, I'm an active user on the Spanish Misplaced Pages wondering if the star images (Image:Cscr-candidate.png, Image:Cscr-featured.png, and such) are free for use on the other Wikipedias. We're currently organizing our feautured articles and having templates similar to the ones on this wiki would be great. You can answer me either here or here.--Fito 01:46, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Fito, they can be used on other Wikipedias. Clockwork, I can upload this image to the Wikimedia Commons for you. Zscout370 (talk) 01:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Fito: absolutely, you can take all of them you like. The original, unmodified versions are Image:Featured article star.png, Image:Featured article candidate .png, Image:Star piece.png, and Image:Former featured article candidate.png, if you want them. Zscout, if you wanted to upload them, that would be great. – Clockwork Soul 01:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Clockwork, the files have been uploaded to the Commons under the same LGPL license. I also think the original, unmodified, stars can also be uploaded. If we can create standard templates in all Wiki's, that will also be a good idea. Zscout370 (talk) 01:59, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks alot. I'm going to propose the template standarisation over there too.--Fito 02:07, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

I am sure you can probably present the templates that we use here, and if that works, I hope the other Wiki's follow suit. Plus, Fito, if you need anything from here and use it on Spanish Misplaced Pages, just let me, Clockwork or others know. Zscout370 (talk) 02:09, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

I would be very honored if you did decide to use the recently created templated standardization scheme. As Zscout370 said, if there anything we can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask. – Clockwork Soul 02:18, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

K, thank you guys.--Fito 02:25, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Robo_Donut artical

It has come to my attention that someone has created me a wikipedia page. He is not me, but an individual who happens to be very bored at a LAN party. I am sorry that he has wasted your time and created a completely useless topic on this great site.

It's not a problem: I'm on "recent changes" duty, so at the moment, this is pretty much what I do. – Clockwork Soul 03:03, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Template:Mountain

Hi. This template is a part of WikiProject Mountains. While there may be a new process for standardizing templates, I think projects should be given a chance to voice their opinions on a change to one of their templates before it's changed unilaterally by someone not actively involved in the project. RedWolf 08:00, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Another imposter!

I just saw another imposter on RC: User:JmoIiver. The "I" is on the fourth letter. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:11, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Got him. Thanks. – ClockworkSoul 16:14, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
- You are welcome. Yesterday, I changed my skin to display everything in Verdana. Not only it is more comfortable for me to read personally, it is easier to spot I's. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:17, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
  - Your block template isn't very smart. You should leave the redirect in there like what Quadell did. Really stupid, I must say. Requesting block and acct. deletion. Also, you're not as smart as you think. I've got three impersonations stashed away there and you even failed to see them. See you aound. TempoAcct. 16:27, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Barnstars

We need to start clearing off some of the proposials we have. We have so much that needs voted on, and the voting to end. I can see if the other guys want to help vote on a few things. Zscout370 (talk) 17:19, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

DYK

We seem to have collided in updating DYK. You didn't even see my inuse notice. I'm not using the Railway article because it's much more stubby than the others. Hope you don't mind. Mgm| 19:13, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

I've put up protection notices. If you can inform people of the update, please do so. I'm planning on some other edits. Mgm| 19:18, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Is that so? Thanks for the welcome and the tip. Jim BeIl 19:40, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

User:Jim BeIl

Hi. I don't know whether you know of User:JMBell, but this user seems to be a pretty clear impersonation or similar. Added to that, his user name is JIM BEIL, with an I (i), which is a trait of an impersonation vandal I blocked last night. Just so you know, cheers, Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 19:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I now... I just wan't paying attention that time. Thanks. – ClockworkSoul 19:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
- I would also be careful, since I think the vandal is trying to taunt us with some of his messages on here. Zscout370 (talk) 19:51, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
  - So they did notice the sarcasm. Interesting.... JimBeII 20:27, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
    - Well, that's funny. Isn't it, clock boy? Jim Bell 20:31, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
      - Then again, that's ridiculous.
